Selwyn MP Amy Adams has been named as the Chieftain for the November games, which is in its seventh year. “Having attended every Hororata Highland Games since the event began, I am delighted and honoured to have been asked to perform the role of Chieftain this year,” Ms Adams said. “I am looking forward to the Games and am sure this year’s event will be as fantastic as always.” Ms Adams’ duties will include brandishing the Chieftain’s sword at the welcoming ceremony and the presentation of trophies to the successful competition winners at the closing ceremony following the Grand March past of all the pipe bands. “When selecting a Chieftain we look for people who have served our community or have Scottish connections,” Hororata Community Trust chair Richard Lang said. “Ms. Adams has always supported the work of the Trust and has been to every Games. She has taken a vested interest in our community and we are thrilled that she accepted our invitation to fill the role of Chieftain in 2017.” He said in Scottish tradition, there is always a Chieftain who is the Master of Ceremonies and a key figure in the day’s activities. Past Chieftains include Simon Dallow (2011), Gerry Brownlee (2012), Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae (2013) and Sir Bob Parker (2014). The 2015 event had its first international Chieftain, Alex Bruce, director of Adelphi Distillery in Scotland

The CDHB is warning that people and animals, particularly dogs, should avoid Lake Forsyth until the health warning has been lifted. The cyanobacteria is not always visible, however the algae can form dense blooms near the surface. Canterbury Medical Officer of Health, Dr Alistair Humphrey, said the algal bloom can produce toxins harmful to humans and animals; people should avoid contact with the water until further notice. “Exposure may cause skin rashes, nausea, stomach cramps, tingling and numbness around the mouth and fingertips,” Dr Humphrey said. “If you experience any of these symptoms visit your doctor immediately and please let your doctor know if you have had contact with the lake water.” He said no one should drink the water from the lake at any time, and boiling the water does not remove the toxin. “Animals which show signs of illness after coming into contact with algal mats should be taken to a vet immediately. Fish and shellfish can concentrate

toxins and their consumption should be avoided. If fish are eaten, remove the gut and liver and wash in clean water.” Environment Canterbury monitors the lake weekly during summer and the public will be advised of any changes in water quality that are of public health significance. ¢

The kereru came in second with 4,572 votes, followed by the kakapo with 2,554 votes. This is the first time the kea has won Bird of the Year title. It came second to the kokako in 2016. These large, green mountain parrots, often seen in the foothills of Selwyn and around Arthur’s Pass, are known for their curiosity and intelligence. Once numbering in the hundreds of thousands, they are now classified as Nationally Endangered with just 3,000 to 7,000 birds remaining. Like many of New Zealand’s native birds, kea are vulnerable to predation by introduced mammalian predators.

New spark for Kirwee Telecommunications company Spark has activated a new mobile cell site in Kirwee, delivering new 4G mobile coverage to the Selwyn rural town.
p Kirwee residents will now have access to 4G coverage thanks to this new cell phone tower being installed by Spark
Kirwee, like many smaller towns in Selwyn, has experienced significant growth since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and, according to the Selwyn District Council, its population is forecast to increase by 21% in the next five years. Previously, Kirwee has had limited mobile phone coverage, a point of contention for many of its residents, including Kirwee Community representative and Scenic Hotel IT manager Chris Clayton who has been lobbying for improved telecommunications access. Mr Clayton said he has been living in Kirwee for about five years and that mobile coverage is vital for work and play. “This is about connectivity for the town, being able to make calls within the community, being connected and for those of us who have businesses in and around Kirwee, being easily contactable by our customers. “The level of engagement from Spark has been fantastic and will make a huge difference to the community in Kirwee.” Spark’s Head of South Island Paul Deavoll said the improved mobile
network will allow locals and visitors to the popular residential area to stay constantly connected with family, friends, and colleagues and make it easier to do business. “We’re always looking to improve mobile service across New Zealand and we’re excited that Kirwee is now able to access the benefits of 4G,” Mr Deavoll said. “This will also enable local residents with poor broadband services to access Spark’s wireless broadband. “This is particularly important since a proportion of the lifestyle blocks further away from the Kirwee township are not able to access VDSL and Fibre, meaning fast wireless broadband is now a viable option.” Mr Deavoll said 4G technology allows customers to enjoy better access to Spark mobile coverage, making it even easier for people to share, upload, download and stream content such as YouTube videos, Spotify, and sport, faster and more reliably than ever before. “Spark and Vodafone worked together to deliver this tower and is live with 3G and 4G.” ¢

Plein-air painters to the fore u by Kent Caddick
Landscapes will be the focus of the latest exhibition to be offered by the Malvern Community Arts Council at its Selwyn Gallery in Darfield. Landscape painters Charles Pickworth and Simon Kramer will have their work on display at the ‘Landscapes’ exhibition which opens on October 27. Simon Kramer is a professional artist who started painting in 1985 and is now a veteran of outdoor painting, also known as pleinair painting, working at hundreds of locations around the New Zealand countryside. Malvern Community Arts Council arts administrator Rose Gerard said Simon is proficient in any painting medium and produces works for sale in oils, watercolour, and acrylics. He also runs a boutique framing business and lectures on art through classes and workshops. “As an outdoor artist I see the beauty of God’s creation and realise anything I do is inspired by his ideas,” Mr Kramer said. “I find our influence on nature and each other fascinating, and sometimes heartbreaking. I have included some of our everyday
endeavours in this body of work. I hope it inspires people to believe in the good of people and consider God’s ideas as he intended them.” Charles Pickworth was born in Dunedin, and contracted polio at the age of four, losing the use of one arm. He is a self-taught artist and paints full time. Ms Gerard said Charles prefers painting plein-air and travels frequently searching out new subjects, specialising nowadays in South Island scenes. “He paints mostly in oils, occasionally in acrylics, and has the knack of capturing the mood and wonderful range of colours in South Island scenery. “He has a bright and enthusiastic nature and enjoys sharing his love of painting with established and budding artists.” The Selwyn Gallery will be open daily (except Mondays) from 10am to 4pm for the duration of the exhibition which runs until November 23.

“I also wish to share the recognition with colleagues at Lincoln Agritech Ltd who have contributed to the research in microwaves and dielectric properties of materials, and development of derived products to benefit New Zealand industry and agriculture.” During his almost 40 year career, Professor Woodhead created a number of globally-marketed sensors, including devices to evaluate the performance of electric fences and an electronic soil moisture sensor called Aquaflex, which paved the way for more efficient irrigation systems, allowing farmers to use water more sustainably. He also invented a new technique to measure water distribution within materials, such as moisture profile in soil and water distribution in timber. Lincoln Agritech CEO, Peter Barrowclough, said he was pleased to see Professor Woodhead recognised by his peers across the scientific community for his career and outstanding advancement to the engineering sciences. “The best small science company in New Zealand, Lincoln Agritech, is producing world class science and world class researchers who are being recognised on the national stage,” Mr Barrowclough said. ¢

Mature and motivated
All aboard the bus
Rolleston Community Centre’s new recreation class is proving to be a hit with some of the district’s older residents.
Selwyn residents, especially newcomers to the district, are being offered subsidised bus tours to get to know the region better.
The ‘Mature and Motivated’ class is a low impact fun exercise class aimed at active people 50 years and over, and includes activities such as hula hooping, trampoline, exercycling, ball passing, and dancing. At 90 years old, Rolleston resident Les Cotton is a newbie to recreation classes. He started coming to classes following his wife’s death earlier this year. Mr Cotton said he wasn’t sure about the class at first but after giving it a go he now really enjoys it. “I’ve met lots of new people and it’s very social, with coffee after. It’s where you go to make new friends.” Pat Jones, age 87, has been going to the class for the last six years. She drives into Rolleston from Darfield twice a week. Mrs Jones said she first started the class as a way to stay active, and has continued with it for the people. “I just love it. I’ve made wonderful friends and the instructor Ingrid is very good. I had an accident two years ago and was so supported by the kind people I’ve met at the class. “My favourite activity is the rowing machine. It uses every muscle, and I like the challenge. The bike is another favourite of mine,” she said. Instructor Ingrid Phelan said the Mature and Motivated class is a lowcost way to keep fit. “The best part about taking the class is the people and the way they look out for each other,” she said. “They inspire me and it can be emotional seeing them interacting. A typical class has 30 people in it, and the same ones turn up both days per week. It’s great seeing them all having

The ‘Show Me Selwyn’ tours have been developed out of Selwyn District Council’s Newcomers and Migrants strategy, and aim to welcome those new to Selwyn and help them get to know what’s in their backyard. Connecting Communities Coordinator Tyla Harrison-Hunt said research carried out between 2014 and 2016 showed a need for more opportunities for newcomers to gain access to information about their new home and connect with other newcomers and established residents. “All Selwyn residents are welcome to join the Show Me Selwyn bus tours to get to know our beautiful district while making new connections,” Mr Harrison-Hunt said. “We want Selwynites to participate in the community and connect with others. This will support them to flourish in the Selwyn community’” From November 2017 to February 2018 four trial trips will take place, with room for 35 passengers on each bus trip. The destinations will include historical landmarks, tourist attractions, and townships, along with opportunities to enjoy the Selwyn countryside. “Following an assessment of the success of the trips, more Show Me Selwyn tours may be planned in the future,” Mr Harrison-Hunt said. Two different

Fonterra helps out Selwyn farmers u by Kent Caddick
Dairy giant Fonterra is helping Selwyn farmers with riparian planting to help them improve and protect water quality on their farms. Recently Fonterra staff along with members of the freshwater ecology group Carex, Department of Conservation and Environment Canterbury descended on Richard and Jill Simpson’s Five Springs Farm on Marshalls Road in Ellesmere. Together the group planted around 400 plants in a 1ha area with five springs. About 15 years ago the Simpsons decided to start rehabilitating the areas around the springs, and got the areas protected by a QE2 covenant so it’s preserved in perpetuity Richard said one day they had a guy called David Hewson from ECan on the farm and they walked around the farm to identify places where he thought water might be getting into the stream from the paddocks. “We arrived at this area here and he said ‘this would make an amazing wetland. Jill is a real big picture person, and she thought it was a great idea and immediately latched onto it. “We’ve gradually worked away at it over the years, and while it might seem a bit daunting, this is the result of 16 or 17 years’ worth of gradual work and growth. “Initially we fenced it and ECan helped us with the streams and deepened the
springs, then we started planting. It’s been a gradual process, and a very, very rewarding one.“ Richard said they have had help from organisations like Whakaora Te Waihora, the Living Water Partnership (DOC & Fonterra), Carex and others to help take the area to the final level. “It’s really exciting to see it start to reach that,” he said. “We have the tracks and bridges in place, the last of the fencing and planting going in, and now we’re actually starting to see it regenerate itself. “We’re seeing seedlings arriving which means it’s becoming self-sustaining. It’s really pleasing and it’s starting to fulfill our wildest dreams.” Libby Sutherland, a Sustainable Dairy Advisor at Fonterra who works with the Simpsons said having healthy waterways is in the interests of all of New Zealand and planting our river banks helps farmers protect and improve the quality of the waterways on their farms. “These plants basically act as big filters and help slow down any surface water running off farms. “They filter out the nutrients and sediment that can get into waterways, provide shade that reduces the

Leeston-Southbridge win again

u by Kent Caddick
Leeston-Southbridge is one of three teams to remain unbeaten after two rounds of the CRV Ambreed Country Premier One Day cricket competition. Although Lincoln gifted 26 wides, the defending champs never recovered despite Tim Harrison batting well down the order after suffering an injury while fielding. Southbrook defended 168 at Darfield Domain against Darfield-South Malvern (DSM). Shanan Stewart (45) and Matt Brine (31) starred after choosing to bat first, while Chris Warner and David Beatty both took three wickets. While Warner was at the crease, DSM might’ve felt a chance of sneaking the points but when he fell to Brine’s offspin, the game was soon over. Meanwhile, Cheviot’s total of 118 proved too much for home side Weedons. But when opener Jason Murphy fell for 33, and the score 66/8 it could’ve been a different story if Cheviot’s tail hadn’t wagged. Jack Hyde and Scott Burnett scored crucial runs that would ultimately prove the difference. Wicketkeeper Todd Inness took four catches. In response, the home side crumbled to be all out for 63 in just 22.2 overs. Short scorecard: Leeston-Southbridge 172 (T. Doyle 56, C. Beatson 34, D. Munro 28; F. Fairbairn 3/29) beat Oxford-Rangiora 122 (C. Scott 40, D. Munro 3/18, L. O’Sullivan 3/19, W.

While defending champions Sefton suffered a shock loss to Lincoln on Saturday, Leeston-Southbridge, Southbrook and Cheviot all recorded wins, however, Weedons were humbled by newcomers Cheviot. At Dudley Park in Rangiora, the visiting Leeston-Southbridge side batted first on a good early-season grass pitch and slow outfield against Oxford-Rangiora. Canterbury Country opener Toby Doyle continued his fine October form anchoring the innings with his 56 runs. Others chipped in with scores as the Ellesmere combined side compiled 172 in their allotted 45 overs. The home side never challenged the total, with opener Calvin Scott posing the only real resistance to the varied and skilled attack. At Sefton Domain, visitors Lincoln came away with a 23-run win thanks largely to a 117-run second wicket partnership between Joel Harden (74 off 126 balls) and Jeremy Benton (53 off 101). Lincoln made 168/7, with Matt Rowe again in the wickets. No other batsman passed six runs, and there were four run outs. Sefton got away to a poor start with Mark Elliot taking three top order scalps.

He grew up on a dairy farm in Ellesmere and in the 1980s he and wife Anne bought a 180-hectare dairy farm in Winchmore. Last year they added to their farming operation with a 176-hectare dairy farm in Rakaia. Their three sons all work in the dairy industry, with Michael running the new block at Rakaia, Nick on the Winchmore farm, and Luke working for
Semex New Zealand. Gilbert said he is proud that his three sons have not only inherited his passion for dairying, but also for showing — all three are senior judges for at least two different breed societies. “It means a lot to have had my sons so heavily involved in the show with me over the years. “Obviously youth are the future of events like ours and it’s really heartening to see so many great young people that get stuck in at the Canterbury A&P Show, especially in the cattle Section.” ¢

Coastal Cowhides raising funds for top athlete
Best practice crucial
Not all our top athletes are funded.
If she is selected she will be the first woman in Alpine ski racing to represent New Zealand in 12 years. Alpine ski racing is deemed a hard medal discipline, so athletes are required to self-fund their full-time campaign including all coaching costs. Coastal Cowhides offers one of the largest range of top quality cowhides in New Zealand which are tanned to the highest specifications and they are fund raising at the Canterbury A&P Show (site M28 & 29). Besides, cowhides they also offer furniture, handbags, calf skins and reindeer. All cowhide product and furniture is New Zealand made. If you wish to support a young New Zealand athlete then visit Coastal Cowhides fundraiser at the A&P Show.
FU CO N W D H R ID AI E SE R
South Island trained Piera Hudson is New Zealand’s highest seeded Alpine female ski racer in Slalom, Super G and Alpine Combined and has been working towards the 2018 Winter Olympics since she was nine years of age. Piera’s family had to think of a way they could cover her programme expenses so they came up with Coastal Cowhides, a 100% fundraising initiative with all sales proceeds going towards $140K programme. The 21-year-old Piera holds 17 National Champion titles, is a five-time yellow bib holder and has been on the National Alpine Ski team since she was 15 years of age. She is currently world ranked 142 from 3800 FIS registered female athletes.
Spring’s typically wet weather can cause a number of issues on farm, including pugging, late crop planting, and general mess. Cows spending more time on wet paddocks also increases the incidence of lameness, due to softened hooves and an increased susceptibility to hoof damage. While there is only so much you can do to manage your herd on wet paddocks, especially when running a pasture-based system, there are other steps you can take to reduce the incidence of lameness. Slow and steady You might be keen to get the cows to the shed in as little time as possible, but the time you save getting them there might return to you tenfold when your impatience results in cases of lameness. A cow’s feet follow a very specific pattern when walking, and if she is under pressure from a herdsman, her head is forced up and she can no longer see where she is placing her feet. Encouraging the cows at the front of the herd is a far better way to encourage the herd to move. Enforcing a minimum distance rule with staff is also a good idea — for example, people on bikes should follow no closer than two fence posts behind the last cows. Back up Over-use of the backing gate or packing cows in too tight on the platform results in twisting of the feet and pressure on the hoof edges, a common cause of white line disease. Don’t use a backing gate to push cow — ; instead, use it to ‘take up space’. Use a timer to regulate movement to no more than five seconds in any one movement on the backing gate, and on the top gate, no more than two seconds in each forward movement.
Regulate the speed of the gate to no more than 12m per minute in round yards or 6m per minute in rectangular yards. Skewiff Cows that must turn sharp corners on concrete yards are more prone to lameness due to ‘skewing’ or twisting of the hoof. If possible ensure shed entries and exits are as wide and straight as possible, and if not, installing rubber matting may be an option. Walk the talk A great piece of advice from hoof health guru Dr Neil Chesterton is to ask yourself: would I walk down my race barefoot? If the answer is no, you need to spend some time maintaining your races. Ensure you are using the right material for both the base and top layer, and that the base layer is well-compacted with well-drained edges, an 8% crowned surface, and free from large stones. Good stockmanship and cow management can go a long way towards reducing the incidence of lameness. There will still be unavoidable cases of lameness in the herd, but with corrective hoof trimming using a Wrangler cattle handler, and/ or veterinary treatment if necessary — they will become the exception, not the rule.

NIR for protein and moisture is now affordable
Gear up for Cup Day
Near-infrared (NIR) grain testing has been a fixture at large elevators and grain processors for years and as such an on-farm grain analyser has been desirable for some time. The demands on such an instrument are high and must balance many requirements. The newly launched Perten Inframatic 8800 from Sweden fits the bill. It is rugged and robust. It is portable enough to tote around the field. It can be operated by anyone but sophisticated enough to provide accuracy similar to elevator and lab instruments. And on top of that, it does it all in a cost-effective manner. Its sleek, portable design uses solid state components and diode array technology meaning no moving optical components. The lack of moving parts allows Perten in Sweden to align and match instruments at the factory — one instrument is exactly like the next. This means the instruments are accurate, repeatable, and reproducible. Extra bonuses include an incorporated GPS allowing farmers to identify pockets of high value grain. These results can be plotted on a map allowing farmers to plan harvest and binning strategies. It also has a two-hour internal battery life which means you have more time out in the paddock with no need for a power up. Out in the field, you pop in a 100g sample of milling wheat or malting barley — no need to grind. The machine shines a near-infrared (NIR) beam through it and 90 seconds later it tells you protein levels in wheat, nitrogen levels in malting barley, and oil content in oilseed rape. The cost of the IM8800 is a mere fraction of mainstream NIR’s. FF Instrumentation Ltd, a Christchurch based company, is proud to represent Perten of Sweden and will offer this instrument at a very attractive introductory price.

Dining & Entertainment
Some traditions too tasty to ignore u by Andy Bryenton
The northern hemisphere is entering autumn and harvest season as we ramp up for summer, and many of the traditions of the ‘old world’ carry over to New Zealand with surprising twists. For all those who love a full Christmas roast despite the shorts-and-jandals weather, here are some options for November to get a head start on festive dining and entertainment. Halloween may be a cheesy American holiday filled with empty calories and candies, but it’s growing in popularity for the kids. And there’s definitely something great about the finest of Halloween traditions — curling up on the couch with a laughably bad horror movie and fresh popped oven top popcorn. For the record, it was the Christian holiday of All Hallows Eve which kicked off the treats and tricks — the witches and devils came from Hollywood. Another Stateside tradition at this time of year is Thanksgiving. If you have
THE
TOY
COLLECTOR
a United States themed restaurant or pub nearby, dig into the goodness of this yearly banquet. Or take the time to prepare that most pilgrim-esque dessert, sweet pumpkin pie. It’s one many Kiwis have never tried, but it’s an easy recipe and well worth the time to bake. Other cultures celebrate the harvest at the same time, and for those who love seafood, perhaps it’s not a bad idea to base a meal on the Blessing of the Oceans, a tradition from Greece held around Christmas, originally aimed to bless fishermen,
School holidays 10am – 4pm and Thursday to Monday during the School terms.
The Toy Collector is a collection of toys from the past and present on display and will trigger nostalgia whether the visitor is 8 or 80. It is an eclectic collection designed to appeal to all genders, ages and level of interest. Some of the items are rare, some are old and rather ragged, and some are new.

recall the memory of the three wise men in the Bible (who, like sailors, followed the stars), and celebrate the Greek Orthodox Epiphany. It’s become an excuse for a massive seafood banquet, as well as a ceremony when divers compete for a golden crucifix thrown into the sea. Also from the Mediterranean comes the Olivagando, celebrated in Italy. It’s a day all about the olive harvest, though you can bet that delicious pasta,
wine and rich, thick sauces make the grade as well. It’s a great excuse for a decadent Italian dinner in November. Then again, there’s no need for an excuse to try any of these delicious national celebrations of good food. Pumpkin pie and turkey, spicy Greek seafood and platters of Italian antipasto with olives, cheeses and bread are always delicious, all year round.

To showcase the latest innovations in electrifying the bicycle Christchurch will play host to a gathering of future transport solutions at the Air Force Museum of NZ in Wigram, on 28 and 29 October. Visitors to the NZ Bike Expo will be able to test ride the widest range of e-bikes yet seen in one place and time in Christchurch. ‘The Expo will also feature three talks from e-bike experts on what to look out for when purchasing an e-bike. It will be a great opportunity to talk to suppliers directly and find out more about the technology and what’s best suited for your conditions,’ says NZ Bike Expo organiser Jo Mackay. ‘New Zealand is on the cusp of an electric bike revolution as consumers are becoming aware of the reach and potential that e-bikes can offer them. Electric bikes are a true alternative to a motor vehicle in many situations’. All this occurs at just the right time, in just the right place — with its flat profile compared to hilly Auckland
and Wellington Christchurch leads the e-bike ‘charge’ in New Zealand. But that’s not to say these machines are just for city pavements. Off-road electric bicycles for the farm are already working hard where motorcycles once dominated. The NZ Bike Expo features new innovations in range, light weight and comfort from a world-wide roster on manufacturers, spanning Asia, Europe, and right here in New Zealand. As electricity becomes the driving force behind a new generation of cars on the road, and even heavy machinery on the farm and construction site, the choice to get out and about on an affordable, easy to park and store e-bike is a natural one. Come and see what’s on offer, and just how far technology has progressed. There will be all kinds of other bikes, accessories, bike tours, trails and more. Their will also be stuff for the kids on show. See our ad below for more details.
