It would also be very hard for an audience to see what was going on. But the organisers of the Golden Games had a bright idea of how to make it a bit more interesting and far more exciting.
there were the truly unique events that had not really been seen much in the big sporting games. Model aeroplanes, ballroom dancing, pipe bands and chess. Of all the events at the games, the one that would not traditionally attract an audience would be chess.
For every move made by one of the masters, the same move would be made by a live playing piece. The floor of the War Memorial Stadium was laid out with a large, chequered playing board, and the pieces were assembled and costumed by
the Masterton Chess Club. The troops were commanded by New Zealand chess masters Rodney Phillips and Ortvin Sarapu. Each time they made a move they wrote it down and this message was taken to the battleground and the active chess piece made the same move.
Sometimes they shifted to a safe square and lived to play another move, but other times, if they were unlucky, they were killed by one of the enemy pieces. As the valiant troops fell to the ground, they lay there and moved no more. Out from the edges of the battleground ran two brave stretcher bearers, rushing to the victim’s side. These were professionalstrainedfrom St John, who had volunteered their services should they be needed. As each piece was carried away, their lifeless forms splayed on the canvas stretchers, the battle continued.After45 minutes the two commanders called a truce, the battle had gone on long enough and the results
were not compelling enough to warrant further conflict. At least for that round.

Kawana said the origin of the name, Whitipoua, began with chief Haunui-a-nanaia, who, as he travelled across the North Island, named rivers: Whanganui, Manawatu, Waiohine, Waingawa, and Waipoua, including many others.Kawana said as the chief crossed the Waipoua, he tested the depth with his tokotoko or pou [walking stick].

BLOAT IN PET LAMBS
One of the most common problems we are asked about in pet lambs is bloat. This is caused by gas producing bacteria in the abomasum (fourth stomach). A simple way to help prevent this problem is to feed yoghurtised milk. It is a simple process to turn normal lamb replacer into yoghurtised milk.

This can be fed until you move on to yoghurtised milk at day 5 or you can feed normal lamb milk replacer on day 2-4. In the rst few days lambs will require 4-5 warm milk feeds per day and will start off with only around 125ml per feed slowly increasing the volume each day. Check the guide on your milk replacer for volumes to feed as the lamb gets older but never feed more than 500ml per feed even if the label recommends this.

At the age of just 22, he has elevated his passion for cycling to the next level and turned it into an impressive successful business which is not only a retail outlet in central Masterton but the base which attracts enthusiastic cyclists to call in and chat and to learn of the latest cycling trends and products. The prime corner site is a cornucopia of cycling paraphernalia –clothing, helmets, tyres, cleaning kits and around 200 available bikes. Tom estimates around 20% are E-bikes; 40% mountain and road bikes, and the rest being the specialty bikes which on-site mechanic Paul Clark, builds and maintains for the elite cyclists. Paul is a former motorcycle mechanic who is now turning his tools to bicycles and he works from the workshop at the front of the store.
• Use a bucket big enough to hold twice the volume you are making up as it will expand.
• Use very warm water (warmer than you would feed to lamb but not boiling hot) to mix up the powder. This helps the yoghurt to grow faster.
• Place a large container of unsweetened acidophilus yoghurt into your bucket of warm milk and whisk well.
• When ready to feed your lamb, whisk the mixture and then take out the amount needed for that feed – you may need to dilute with a little cold water if too thick to ow through your lamb teat

Tom McCallum is justifiably proud of his bike shop – Cycling Tom Bike Shop - which he opened just over a year ago. He’s proud of his independence, not aligned to any brand, and will bend over backwards to help customers find a certain bike or equipment. His own personal cycling experience means he has a wealth of contacts in the NZ cycling fraternity and overseas.
“I’m not in business just to make money – want to encourage all those feeling excited to take up cycling. It’s just so good for you.” Cycling Tom Bike Shop is a sponsor of the new mountain bike track currently being constructed north of Masterton near Hansells. “I love this initiative and hope there will be more and larger tracks in the future. We sell bikes and we want somewhere for these people to safely ride.”

He gets inspiration from the people who come into the store; fellow cyclists he competes with, and the loyal followers of his posts on social media. Tom began YouTubing as a teenager and achieved enormous success, and recognition, creating tutorials, reviews on cycling events, and general cycle maintenance. Tom uses social media platforms extensively and is regularly called upon to do product reviews. He has become a successful brand in himself and is attracting profound respect from those in the cycling fraternity. He is a member of the Couplands/Booth’s Cycling team, competes at both national and club level in Wairarapa and has also established a junior development squad under the CyclingTom name. Earlier this year Tom travelled to the United States, Spain and Belgium taking part in Criterium races.
“I love the Wairarapa however, and it’s where want to be.” He sees a huge future for cycling in the region and is excited about the five town’s trail project linking cycling trails all over.

DairyNZ Update The post-grazing residual from which a pasture regrows has a signi cant impact on pasture composition and quality at subsequent grazings, and ultimately the milk production levels achieved. A more lax grazing regime during spring results in pastures with greater stem content, higher amounts of dead material and of lower digestibility at subsequent grazings. Consequently, more laxly grazed pastures will lead to lower levels of milk production at subsequent grazings.

“Regenerative agriculture has its origins in the United States and as a response to severely degraded soils from intensive cropping.
agriculture is has shifted considerably and broadened out.”
Thepromptly.next grazing round will be quite in uential in determining peak production levels through the later spring and summer period. Keeping a tight focus on maintaining target grazing residuals will help maintain pasture quality at as high a level as possible.
Careful grazing management through the spring will pay dividends in better quality pasture through the period of peak cow production and will identify any feed surpluses as they develop. These surpluses can then be harvested as good quality supplement and the paddocks returned to the grazing round
