“Proudly made in Selwyn”

Keep New Zealand Beautiful’s Clean Up Week is for young and old.

Taking place in September each year this is the biggest national clean up initiative to take place on the calendar in New Zealand.

Keep NZ Beautiful CEO Heather Saunderson said last year over 43,000 passionate volunteers from more than 100 different areas across the country did their bit to keep their local community beautiful.

Clean up events can be registered to happen in Selwyn between September 12 and September 18.

“Keep New Zealand Beautiful will arrange to send you everything you need to ensure your event is a success,” Ms Saunderson said.

“This includes rubbish and recycling

bags, gloves, health and safety guidelines, volunteer registration forms and much more.”

She said every year Clean Up Week is gaining more traction, with more and more New Zealander’s adopting the Be A Tidy Kiwi philosophy and signing up their school, workplace, organisation, family or friends to take part.

“Over the one week period more than 610 events happened last year at every type of place imaginable including beaches, streams, rivers, waterways, parks, recreation areas, highways and town centres.”

To register an event and receive your free clean up kit go to www.knzb.org.nz/ cleanupweek.

Outdoor access awards

The New Zealand Walking Access Commission is calling on Selwyn residents to nominate individuals and organisations which have made a significant contribution to outdoor access to receive a Walking Access Champion Award.

The awards, presented by the New Zealand Walking Access Commission (NZWAC), recognise those who have made significant and lasting contributions to public outdoor access, whether through securing new legal access, championing public rights of access, trail building, or contributing to understanding of access rights and responsibilities.

NZWAC chief executive Eric Pyle said the awards are a way of strengthening the country’s walking access heritage.

“The Walking Access Champion Awards celebrate those who have made a meaningful contribution to public outdoor access in New Zealand.

“We are privileged in New Zealand to have such a diverse range of spectacular scenery, from stunning lakes and beaches to richly-varied forest and mountain landscapes. This is an essential part of our national heritage and culture.

“By giving these awards, we are recognising the value of outdoor access, and promoting the importance of preserving what we have for

NZWAC chief executive Eric Pyle.

future generations.”

Award nominees may include people whose dedication sees them maintaining a particular walkway, a community group that has worked hard to open up a trail or a territorial authority that has helped enhance access, actively resolve a public access dispute or undertaken a significant programme to enhance access opportunities.

This is the fourth year that the Commission has run the Walking Access Champion Awards. To find out more go to the Commission’s website, www. walkingaccess.govt.nz.

Darfield teen on a mission

by Kent Caddick

A sixteen-year-old Darfield girl is on a mission to save the life of a young West Melton girl who is in desperate need of a live kidney transplant.

Charli (Charlotte) Francis is using her family home to host a fundraising ball to raise money for Maddie Collins, a 12-year-old girl from West Melton.

Maddie’s parents are looking to raise $350,000 to find their daughter a kidney in the United States after running out of options to get a transplant in New Zealand. She is currently facing up to 10 hours a night on dialysis after her first transplanted kidney was rejected.

Charli and Maddie are both pupils at St Margaret’s College in Christchurch and Charli said she had been following Maddie’s story on Facebook.

“When you meet her (Maddie) she is just such a nice girl, so well-spoken and just the bravest girl I have ever met,” Charli said.

“But you can see that what she is going through is taking its toll on her and I would like to try and give Maddie some kind of normal childhood.

“I see her face when she is well enough to make it to school, enthusiastic and determined to live her life. She deserves to live the best life possible.”

Charli said she spoke to her mother about hosting a fundraising ball at their home, the historic

Bangor Homestead near Darfield.

“I contacted Maddie’s parents to see if it was okay with them and I have got their support.

“It’s been a big job organising it around school work but I have got some friends helping out.

We are looking for sponsors to help out and for people to donate goods and services for raffles and an auction which we will be holding on the night.”

Maddie was diagnosed with a kidney disorder when she was just five years old and a month after her family moved to West Melton.

She was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), which is a disease that attacks the kidney’s filtering system and in 2012 had a transplant using a kidney donated by her father Adam.

The Maddie Collins Ball will be held at the Bangor Homestead, 509 Bangor Road, Darfield on Saturday, September 3 starting at 7pm.

Tickets are available at www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/ the-maddie-collins-ball-tickets, and for people wanting to help out they can contact Charli Francis on 021 025 48858.

Darfield’s Charli Francis, right, is organising a ball to help Maddie Collins of West Melton, left, get a life-saving kidney transplant.

Springfield woman seeks spot on ECan

by Kent Caddick

Springfield resident Nicky Snoyink will contest the Mid Canterbury constituency in the upcoming Environment Canterbury election.

This year will be the first time since 2007 that voters have had the opportunity to elect their representatives after the Government disbanded the elected council in 2010 and replaced the councillors with appointed commissioners.

At this year’s election the Government has put forward a mixed representation model in which seven elected councillors will join six governmentappointed commissioners.

Darfield born and raised, Nicky Snoyink is a graduate of Lincoln University, recently completing a Master’s degree in Environmental Policy to go with her previous Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management qualification from the same tertiary institute.

“Understanding how environmental policy and planning decisions are made was the main reason for returning to Lincoln University,” Ms Snoyink said.

“Growing up in mid-Canterbury, the Waimakariri, Selwyn/Waikirikiri and Rakaia rivers defined my childhood recreational activity and shaped my career in nature tourism.

“Back then, clean water was taken for granted. We need to change priorities and policies so we can once again have abundant, clean water in our rivers.”

Ms Snoyink currently works as a freelance outdoor adventure guide based out of her Springfield home and is a member of the Springfield Volunteer Fire Brigade.

She said environmental issues play

an important part in the governance of the region.

“The quality of New Zealand’s environment underpins the success of New Zealand’s economy. Farming and tourism are our two biggest earners and they both depend on our natural environment.

“ECan has a key leadership role in regional planning, consents and compliance, transportation, air quality, biodiversity and biosecurity, and natural hazard management, across the region from the mountains to the sea.”

Ms Snoyink joins Leeston farmer John Sunckell as a contender for the one elected ECan position from the MidCanterbury constituency which includes Selwyn and Ashburton districts.

Springfield outdoor guide Nicky Snoyink is vying for a seat around the Environment Canterbury council table.

Nominations for the election which will be held by postal ballot in October close on August 12.

Cast all in the family

Helping out those in need

Describing the cast of Kirwee Player’s latest musical offering Oliver is best summed up as a family affair.

by Amy Adams, Selwyn MP

Although my children are now teenagers I still remember vividly those daunting first few months after they were born.

Those early days with a newborn baby are precious but exhausting times, especially if your baby suffers from reflux or is generally unsettled.

If you already have a toddler to care for as well, essential tasks such as preparing an evening meal can prove very challenging.

Friends and family can often be a valuable source of help and support.

However, not everyone is lucky enough to have family or friends nearby that can drop in to assist with housework or preparing a meal, or to lend a hand with a baby or toddler.

Fortunately for those without strong support networks around them, there are services that can help.

Bellyful Selwyn (www.bellyful. org.nz) is one such free service for Selwyn families with newborn babies.

They also help families with young children who are struggling with a serious illness of a family member.

The wonderful volunteers at Bellyful prepare and deliver meals to these families to help support them through these challenging periods.

Home Help assistance is also available from Work and Income for those who meet certain criteria.

Home Help assistance payments are made weekly to vulnerable families with young children or other dependents when there is an emergency and short-term help is needed but no-one else is able to help out. For more information on who is eligible, visit www. workandincome.govt.nz.

The saying ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ is often quoted but it does have merit.

Those early years of our children’s lives are of critical importance to their development and outcomes for them later in life.

If you know a family in your neighbourhood that is going through a difficult patch, consider how you could help, or refer them to a service that can assist.

Members of the 13 Selwyn families who are a part of this year’s cast of the musical Oliver being put on

by Kirwee Players.

There are 13 Selwyn families represented among the cast of 57, with all families providing more than one member of the cast.

The Stott family has three generations involved with Isabelle and David Stott being joined by son Edward, who plays one of the lead roles Fagin, and their grandson Toby.

Isabelle and David along with another cast member Malcolm Begg have appeared in every annual production put on by Kirwee Players theatre group since it was founded in 1976.

As well as the Stott family the cast includes members from the Freller, Thomas, Scobie, O’Callaghan, Randall,

Canterbury vintage tractor plough off The Canterbury Vintage Tractor Ploughing competition was held in Selwyn recently.

The vintage plough off was hosted by the Lincoln Ploughing Association at Neville Sharp’s property on Old Bridge Road between Springston and Doyleston.

The old established pasture paddock tested the skills of the ploughmen, on what was a cool westerly day.

The top three placings on the day

earned the right to represent Canterbury at the 2017 NZ Vintage Ploughing Championship which will be held in Kirwee.

Bruce Cameron (Temuka) took out the competition with Gordon Carter (Rakaia) runner-up and Ashburton’s Maurice Miller third.

The next event on the ploughing calendar will be the Ellesmere Vintage Club’s annual vintage ploughing match at Sedgemere, near Lakeside, on Saturday, August 20.

Lincoln’s John Stalker is the current New Zealand Vintage Tractor ploughing champion.

Lincoln too strong for Rolleston

Lincoln outplayed its closest rival in the Selwyn premier netball competition on Saturday.

Lincoln outplayed Rolleston in the clash at the Lincoln Event Centre, running out winners 57-40 to maintain its unbeaten run in the competition.

Greenpark had its work cut out in its encounter with Halswell A but did enough to keep its opponent at bay to take the match 52-49.

And in the other match of the premier competition Broadfield put in a strong performance to down Halswell B 56-41.

Lincoln is now four points clear of Rolleston at the top of the table while Greenpark’s win puts it on the same number of points as Rolleston but in third place on goal differential.

Broadfield is three points behind Rolleston and Greenpark and its clash with Greenpark this coming weekend will go a long way to determining the placings for the playoffs.

Little rippas Richard Arnott said he was blown away by the girls’ commitment and how fast they progressed.

The team played 15 matches this season and apart from the matches against Waihora the opposition were boy dominated sides.

The Rolleston Pink girls never lost a game winning 14 games and drawing one, scoring a total of 279 tries at an average of 18.6 tries per game. They also recorded 46.3 ‘rips’ per game. A ‘rip’ being when they are able to grab the flag being worn by an opposing player, with six rips leading to a turnover.

“Actually getting them to rip was one of the hardest things as early on they figured out they could get the ball back quicker by letting the opposition score a try.”

But rip they did and the tries followed which Richard said confused at lot of the boy dominated teams.

“At half time in one match I heard one of the opposition players talking to his father, and the boy said, ‘Dad you said we were just playing a bunch of girls, so how come they are scoring all these tries’. I think that was one of the highlights of the season for me.”

Keira O’Reilly, who was the team’s leading try scorer this season with 73 touch downs, rates Canterbury based Black Fern Kendra Cocksedge as one of her rugby heroes along with All Black captain Kieran Read and Selwyn superstar Dan Carter.

Keira said she enjoys playing in a team.

“I like that I am in a team with my friends, and I like scoring tries and getting rips.”

Scoring tries and rips is also Kate Arnott’s favourite part of playing Rippa rugby but also “the food after the games”. Kate crossed the tryline 67 times this season.

Isabella Blatch said playing Rippa rugby is fun and helps her to keep fit while Brooke Kroening likes “doing big runs with the ball and getting tries”.

Next year is an uncertain time for many of the Rolleston girls who will graduate from Rippa rugby into tackle rugby as there is no girls’ competition.

“The Canterbury Rugby Union is looking into it as it wants to capitalise on the expected growth in interest in women’s rugby which will come out of having the women’s Sevens at the Olympics.”

Waihora won’t have the same problem as Rolleston as all but one of its 12-girl squad will be eligible to play in the grade again next year.

Manager Ashleigh Murfitt said most of their girls are only five or six so will still be able to play in the grade next season.

“It was a great experience for the girls this season and while we only won a few games the girls showed they could keep up with the others.”

Southbridge champions at last

by Kent Caddick

A three decade wait is over for Southbridge rugby fans as its senior team lifted the symbol of Ellesmere rugby supremacy, the Coleman Shield, for the first time in 32 years in Lincoln on Saturday.

Southbridge’s 8-6 win over Waihora helped to make up for two Coleman Shield loses to the same opponent in the last two years.

It was also a 100th senior game that Southbridge captain Shannon Donald is unlikely to forget as he scored all his side’s points in the win.

Donald kicked a penalty in the fifth minute to match an early penalty from Waihora halfback Harry Kirk. Kirk slotted another penalty to have the defending champion leading 6-3 with halftime approaching.

However, Donald charged down a Waihora clearing kick and followed up to score the game’s only try a couple of minutes before the break.

There was no score in the second half as both sides battled the treacherous conditions, however, Southbridge

dominated both possession and territory throughout the match and when the fulltime whistle sounded it was a deserved winner.

Southbridge also picked up the division two title on the Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union’s finals day held in Lincoln, with a 6-3 win over Banks Peninsula.

Lincoln took out the division three title with a 26-11 win over West Melton while the West Melton Colts side came out on top its divisional final, with a narrow 15-14 win over Springston.

Other finals day results: U18: Prebbleton/West Melton 23 v Waihora 17; U16: Waihora 31 v Rolleston 12; U14.5: Duns/Irwell/Sth 12 v Waihora 12; U13: Rolleston Black 36 v Rolleston Gold 26; U11.5: West Melton Gold 27 v Rolleston Gold 17.

The Southbridge team was in full voice after lifting the Coleman Shield for the first time in 32 years.

ECan targets water consent breaches Selwyn water take consent holders should take note as Environment Canterbury is promising a crackdown on consent breaches.

Environment Canterbury (ECan) chief executive Bill Bayfield has announced the organisation is moving towards stricter enforcement measures for water take consent breaches.

Mr Bayfield said they are nearing the end of a five-year process to ensure that all water take consent holders have water meters installed.

“Over the past five years, the farming community and ECan have moved towards an audited self-management approach where the groups can work together collaboratively to ensure that water meter compliance is achieved.

“Our focus now is on cracking down on

Experienced Builder – New Builds – Renovations – Alterations Call David Barnhill 027 618 2345 or after hours 317 9144

low flow breaches during times of water restriction then dealing with breaches exceeding consented volumes.”

He said they will begin publishing Abatement notices and Infringement notices on our website in response to the public’s desire for more transparency in terms of water measurement breaches.

“The water meter programme has been hugely successful and we now have less than one per cent of water take consent holders without an action plan in place for installing a water meter.

“We’ve currently got non-compliant farmers on notice that they’ve got ten days to comply with the water meter installation rules.

“I believe that by next season, the whole region will be compliant in terms of water meter installation.

It was always our intention to reach this point within five years of developing the water management strategy and that’s what we’re on track to achieve.”

Mr Bayfield said many farmers had gone above and beyond the national requirements for water measurement and have invested the $25,000 needed to install measuring devices that allow for daily data return.

“From now on, Environment Canterbury will stage an immediate intervention to fix the problems such as low flow breaches and will look at following through with stricter enforcement steps if necessary, including prosecution where required.”

Mr Bayfield said water use in Canterbury was a huge issue and people were showing how deeply they cared about fairly apportioned use of water.

“We get this. We could have been stricter on non-compliance in the past, but we’re well on the way to having a fully compliant region by October this year. Those farmers that are lagging behind know what they’ve got to do.”

Environment Canterbury chief executive Bill Bayfield says ECan is moving towards stricter enforcement measures for water take consent breaches.

Awards give farmers feedback Selwyn farmers will be given the chance to get expert feedback as part of the 2017 Canterbury Region Ballance Farm Environment Awards (BFEA).

The awards, which have been running in the region for 15 years, celebrate responsible land stewardship and sustainable farm management.

Deputy Chair of the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust Joanne van Polanen, said when a farmer enters the awards, a team of judges visit the farm to discuss the entire farming operation, exchange ideas, and offer advice. She said many farmers believe the judging process itself makes entering the awards a worthwhile experience.

“The awards recognise and celebrate that good on-farm management practices are beneficial to the business as well as the environment and provide a platform for sharing these practices with the wider farming community.

“They also give farmers an opportunity to benchmark their farming business with others and receive independent feedback from a team of highly experienced and knowledgeable judges.

“Past entrants have told us that the judging process is very valuable ranging from established farmers who want feedback on what they’ve been doing, to younger farmers or farmers going through a development period that want some advice and ideas from experienced judges,” she said.

2016 Canterbur y Ballance Environment Award Supreme winners Geraldine share-milkers Joe and Suz Wyborn said they enjoyed the judging experience.

“We would definitely recommend it to anybody. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole process, it was well worthwhile - a very positive experience.”

This year the Wyborns received the Supreme Award as well as Environment Canterbury Water Quality Award, WaterForce Integrated Management Award, LIC Dairy Farm Award, Massey

2016 Canterbury Ballance Environment Award Supreme winners Suz and Joe Wyborn from Geraldine.

University Innovation Award, and Hill Laboratories Harvest Award.

Judges said: “The Wyborns are extremely focused on developing and articulating processes and systems that allow the farm to run efficiently”.

A field day was held at their property in May which drew a crowd of more than 150 people.

Since 2002 the Canterbury Regional awards have involved more than 220 entrants, 80 trained judges, as well as 15 farming businesses being awarded Supreme Awards and around 70 receiving category awards.

The nation-wide awards are run across 11 regions by the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust (NZFE). A National Award, the Gordon Stephenson Trophy, is awarded to a Supreme Award

Good farming is about sustainability, in keeping critical nutrients in your soil and out of New Zealand waterways.

“Water and land management remains one of New Zealand’s greatest environmental challenges. In particular, there is potential to look more closely at the relationship between sedimentation of waterways and soil losses from land use. The loss of elite soils is also of particular interest.” - Exparliamentary report Gypsum aerates, conditions and improves soil structure promoting an optimum environment for pasture growth, reduced pugging, enhanced flocculation and helps mitigate the flow of nitrates and phosphorus to rivers and lakes.

History of computers in farming Lincoln University’s role in making the computer one of the essential tools on the farm features in a new book by Dr Peter Nuthall, an Honorary Associate Professor in Lincoln’s Department of Land Management and Systems.

Dare to compute: The early years in the development and uptake of farm computer systems is written about the Kellogg Farm Management Unit (KFMU) at Lincoln, which Dr Nuthall founded and was head of for all but two years of its existence, from 1980 to 1995.

The unit was initially funded by the Kellogg Foundation in the United States, a philanthropic fund.

KFMU aimed to develop computer software for farm and horticultural property managers, and train them in its use.

Dr Nuthall said the history of the unit needs to be told as it played an important part in introducing computer technology and software

to primary producers in New Zealand and Australia.

He said its employees worked very much in the dawning of a new era.

“They helped explore and forge management based computer technology down on the farm.

It took a dedicated staff and pioneering farmers brave enough to go along with our ideas.”

He said today there is nothing unusual about computers being in every farm and household.

It is the second book Dr Nuthall has released this year. His work The Intuitive Farmer – Inspiring Management Success, came out in February, and centred on farmers using well-informed intuition when making decisions.

Dr Peter Nuthall’s new book Dare to compute looks at Lincoln University’s role in making the computer an essential farming tool.

Young Farmers elect non-farming professionals to governance board For the first time in New Zealand Young Farmer history the four elected members of the Governance Board are not currently working on the land but instead are rural professionals.

CULTIVATION & EXCAVATION CONTRACTORS

NZ Young Farmers CEO Terry Copeland said he was delighted with the calibre of the newly elected board members which are a reflection of the wide variety of careers on offer in the primary industry.

“These are highly skilled individuals who have already demonstrated leadership within their own careers. I have no doubt they will be a great asset to the board.”

Social Media expert and owner of Grass Roots Media NZ, Chelsea Millar from the Taranaki/Manawatu Young Farmer

region and farm consultant Sam Waugh from the Tasman region have both been elected to the board alongside chairman and marketing executive for Miraka, Jason Te Brake, and PGG Wrightson animal nutrition technical specialist Nadine Huitema.

The four current Young Farmer members will join Independent director Jeff Grant, Strategic Partner Elaine Cook and FMG Young Farmer of the Year contest management committee chairman Dean Rabbidge.

Pamper your pets

Are bones good for dogs?

by Yolande Howell, Selwyn Vet Centre

Feeding bones to dogs is generally believed to be a good thing. Gnawing on a bone is the best way to keep your dog’s teeth clean – and a great way to keep a dog occupied for a good long time.

However, the choice of bone given is of utmost importance. Lean, fresh meaty bones with minimal fat are best.

These can include beef, venison or lamb long bones, while brisket bones are also good. They must be raw or smoked – cooked bones of any kind are more likely to fragment into sharp pieces.

Never feed chicken bones to dogs, also avoid ribs and chop bones, and as mentioned above never feed cooked bones of any type.

Most dogs cope fine with a bone, however all dogs are different.

Many dogs in rural areas are fed bones daily, and never have an issue with them. Other dogs can struggle and may suffer episodes of vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation after chewing on

a bone. The high fat content of bone marrow can in some dogs trigger pancreatitis, a potentially dangerous condition.

If your dog is not used to having bones and your vet suggests trying, then perhaps offer a bone for just five or ten minutes and then take it away, try again a day or two later. Avoid any sudden changes and if there are any problems just hold off. Once they are used to it, a bone once a month is good.

Marrow bones can be full of fat, so factor this in if your dog is on a diet – to the extent that the day the dog has a bone there is no other food offered to compensate.

If your dog cannot cope with bones then there are many commercially

available products that can be good to chew on and effective at keeping teeth clean. These include VeggieDents, Greenies, Dentistix and many others.

And then the gold standard for keeping dogs’ teeth clean and healthy – daily brushing.

Nowhere near as daunting as it sounds. There are small thimble type brushes for small dogs, and chicken flavour toothpaste helps too.

In conclusion – bones are good if your dog can cope with them, and keeping teeth clean is of paramount importance.

Gardening

Growing your greens for health Article supplied by www.gogardening.co.nz

Brassicas are among winter’s most powerful health foods, especially when you grow your own.

Kale, cabbage, cauliflower, cavolo nero, broccoli, broccolini and Brussels sprouts reach peak flavour when chilly weather causes their sugar content to rise.

All are descended from one plant species. The original brassica, Brassica oleracea (‘wild cabbage’) still grows wild on the limey cliffs of Europe, adapted to its harsh environment with thick fleshy leaves that store water and nutrients.

Chinese cabbages, mustard and kale

are quick to grow as microgreens or slightly larger, as a ‘cut and-come-again’ crop. Snip the young leaves for a stir-fry or add them in the last few minutes to a slow cooked casserole.

Mustard is hot like wasabi and best in small doses, but the young leaves add a delicious tang to salads. Giant Red Mustard is often grown for its striking colour and form.

Kale and cavolo nero are the most similar to wild cabbage with a nonheading growth habit and heavily

textured leaves. These excellent dark green vegetables are increasingly valued for their pungent flavour and highly nutritious leaves.

Globe cabbages, cauliflowers and Brussels sprouts take longer to reach maturity.

To grow them well you need deeply dug, well-drained soil with compost and lime added. Ideally they’re planted in autumn, early enough to be well established before the coldest weather slows their growth.

Young seedlings need protection from frost. Cloches and tunnel crop covers come in very handy at this time of year.

Broccoli is one green most children will eat and the superior flavour of home grown broccoli can be astounding.

Sprouting broccoli is a useful thing to have in the garden.

Plants carry on producing side shoots long after the central head has been picked. Regular picking encourages more to grow.

Reasons to grow and eat brassicas • Brassicas eaten straight from the garden are the most nutritious, because the longer they hang around on shop shelves (or in the fridge), the more nutrients are lost.

• They’re packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins C (burns fat and purifies blood), K (strengthens the immune system), and B (for energy and healthy metabolism).

• They help prevent cancer and heart attacks.

• They assist with weight loss when included in a healthy diet.

• They promote healthy skin, eyes and muscle tone.

• They contain omega 3, essential fatty acids.

• Anthocyanin – the colour in red cabbage, is a powerful antioxidant believed to be helpful in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
