From farms to killing fields

With the declaration of war on August 4, 1914 many young men from around Selwyn …

Paul Clement from Delaborin Dairies at Hororata took out the Waterforce Integrated Management Award at the recent awards evening.

The awards recognise good farm practices which promote sustainable land management.

The 370ha Hororata farm Paul Clement works on is one of 13, milking approximately 13,000 cows on the Canterbury Plains, owned by Theland Purata Farm Group, formerly Synlait Farms.

Mr Clement, who heads a team of five, said managing people is a skill he’s had to learn. “People are the most important

part of any business. You could have the best cows, land and technology but that doesn’t count for much without a top team.”

The award judges said the award winning Hororata property was a ‘large scale dairy farm that has clear production and management targets.

‘The farm is immaculate and nothing is left to chance, with fool-proof systems in place. Extensive native plantings in unproductive areas will, in time, add aesthetic value’.

Mr Clement came to the farm when it had a 460 cow herd in 2012 and it now has a peak milking of 1,200.

The warning was put in place by the Community and Public Health division of the Canterbury District Health Board following the discovery of the algal bloom (benthic cyanobacteria) in the river.

“Recent cyanobacteria surveying of the water in the Selwyn River has shown the quantity of potentially toxic blue-green algae (benthic cyanobacteria) in the river has decreased and are now below the levels that are of concern to public health,” Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Ramon Pink said.

“Environment Canterbury’s routine monitoring of rivers in the Canterbury region has been completed for the summer and will resume again next summer when there is increased likelihood of cyanobacteria growth.

“The public is however reminded that there are still some lakes where warnings remain in place due to algal blooms,” Dr Pink said.

In Selwyn a health warning due to the toxic algae is still in place for Lake Ellesmere (Te Roto o Waihora). 

RSA National President BJ Clark said displaying the poppy is a way to remember the impacts of military service on our men and women in uniform, and show respect for those serving around the world today. “Some of those we help are veterans barely in their 20s and have been physically and

psychologically wounded. Others are over 100.

Gallery gets greenlight  by Kent Caddick

The group behind Selwyn’s newest community art gallery has been given a $20,000 grant by the Selwyn District Council.

Police presence in Rolleston is to be boosted to 24/7 thanks to a funding announcement from the Government.

 Leeston’s main street art gallery has been given a seeding grant by the district council

The funding is part of a $500 million Safer Communities package and will increase police staffing in Rolleston to guarantee a 24/7 patrolling police presence.

Local MP Amy Adams said the announcement is welcome news for Selwyn.

“Rolleston will be one of the first 20 towns around New Zealand to be resourced to ensure a police officer will be on patrol and on call at all hours of the day,” Ms Adams said.

“This will give our community more confidence that help is on hand, and will ensure fewer victims of crime in Selwyn.” Ms Adams said.

Ms Adams said 70 additional staff have been allocated to the Canterbury District over the next four years. “While

it is up to the District Commanders to work through which towns will receive the additional staff, it is pleasing to see some of those new officers allocated right here in Selwyn to support the upgraded 24 hour police presence.

“It’s not just about the numbers.

This investment in policing also means a new 24/7 non-emergency police number as well as new resources targeted at disrupting and dismantling organised crime.”

The Safer Communities funding package is aimed at reaching a target of having 95 per cent of New Zealanders within 25 kilometres of patrolling police 24 hours a day.

The first intake of new recruits will begin in July, with the first recruits on the beat by November. 

The yet-to-be named gallery in Leeston will, in addition to providing space for artists to exhibit and sell their work, also hold art tutoring classes to raise additional income.

The money for the grant is coming from council’s arts reserves, which currently stands at around $55,000.

The group was initially seeking $30,000 to cover the cost of the building lease for one year but several councillors expressed concerns at the cost of the lease and noted that neither the Darfield nor the Lincoln community galleries were faced with that cost. 

THE RECORD

Building for the future  by Sam Broughton, Selwyn Mayor

“At the dawn of the day, in the great Southern Ocean…” is the beginning of one of my favourite John Clarke pieces.

His recent death has been marked

by New Zealanders reminiscing about our history and what it means to be a Kiwi. It got me thinking about what it means to be Selwyn, who we are, where we have come from, and what it is we are heading towards.

Selwyn District is the best place in the country. We are made up of numerous towns, productive farmland, and acres of natural landscapes covering nearly 6500km2 with Christchurch on our doorstep.

Each town has its own history and culture. Some were set up to support agriculture, some coal mining, others as stops for travellers, still others as good spots to relax and enjoy the natural environment.

Some of us are from families who have long been a part of that history, while others of us have recently moved here and are contributing to our children’s history.

Having unique, competitive towns

has given us a rich history and I hope that we use that heritage to grow a connected, cooperative Selwyn for our future.

The council is committed to each of our towns. We want to plan well and provide strong infrastructure across the district. This means taking a district wide, network approach while recognising that different places often need different solutions.

Throughout the coming year we are updating our strategic plans for the next 10 years, while keeping in mind the next 30.

We want to know what you think is important, then we can let you know how much it would cost, and you can tell us if you still like the idea.

You might ask us to do things a little differently and we might ask the same of you.

Please be a par t of the conversation as we continue to build Selwyn together. 

Run by Lincoln Envirotown, the Bioblitz brings together residents and local scientists to find out how many different species could be found around the Liffey Stream over 24 hours.

The event, held at the Liffey Stream Domain in Lincoln on April 7 and 8, was opened by the ‘Bug Man’, Ruud Kleinpaste and included scientists from Plant and Food, Landcare Research, DOC, Lincoln University and Canterbury Museum.

Lincoln Envirotown Trust project manager Dave Fitzjohn said there were many displays, talks, walks and activities for all ages to get involved in.

“All life was to be counted so there was something of interest for everyone,” Mr Fitzjohn said.

“Some were interested in spiders, others in water life or plants, while over 200 people went on the exciting night walks.

“All activities were conducted by experts in their field and therefore it was an enjoyable learning experience for all. One child was heard to remark

Pay attention!

that they loved the way that everybody was as interested as they were. There was a constant air of excitement along the river.”

Overall 534 different species were identified in the 24 hours, with more to be identified from samples taken.

“This time there was more than double the number of fungi found last time and a grandma long finned eel, over 70 years old, was one of the many exciting finds.”

Mr Fitzjohn said they were fortunate with the weather with sunshine and near perfect conditions for the whole 24 hours.

“The event wouldn’t have happened without support from many volunteers including those from Lincoln Envirotown, Lincoln University and Lincoln High School as well as all the scientists who donated their time and equipment.

“We would also like to thank our funders including Living Water, Brian Mason Trust, Rata Foundation, the Selwyn District Council, Pub Charities and LinC Programme. 

Building rural resilience Feedback wanted on proposed pool extension  by Kent Caddick

A series of workshops aimed at ensuring the mental well-being of Selwyn residents, particularly those living in rural area, will run next month.

The workshops are part of a collaboration between the Rural Canterbury Primary Health Organisation (RCPHO), the Selwyn Parenting Network (SPN) and the Mental Health Education and Resource Centre (MHERC).

Brenna Russell is the Community Connector for the Selwyn and Ashburton districts for the RCPHO. “Often, opportunities that are available in bigger urban areas are not as accessible for rural residents,” Ms Russell said.

“This is no different when it comes to accessing information and education around mental health and wellbeing.”

As a result of the collaboration there will be a series of free community education evenings across Selwyn during the next few months.

Ms Russell said that in her role she works with isolated residents to make sure they are well connected with local community groups, social networks and other support services.

“In Darfield we will be holding a workshop called ‘Beating the Blues: Boosting Your Communication With Others’, with guest speakers talking about the importance of communication in dealing with life’s ups and downs.

There will also be a gatekeeper training

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton is calling on locals to have their say on whether the Selwyn Aquatic Centre in Rolleston should be extended.

provided by Lee-Anne Tarling from MHERC, which will provide people with practical tools around how to ask others if they need help and where to find support.

“This event is particularly suitable for parents, teachers, sports coaches and older teens.”

Guest speakers include 36-year police veteran and DARE programme facilitator Pup Chamberlain, as well as young mid-Canterbury farmer Sam Robinson who recently spoke out about his battle for mental health.

The workshop will be held in the Darfield rugby clubrooms on May 12, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. MHERC is also involved in a workshop called Resilient Kids, Resilient Teens, which will be held at the Springston Domain Pavilion on May 4.

“This workshop will be presented by Paula Partingdon,” Ms Russell said.

“It aims to present information to parents, which will enable them to develop increased understanding and use the skills that come from this with their children to build resilience, manage challenging behaviours and resolve relational conflicts including bullying.” The workshop will also be held in Darfield later in the year. 

 The success of Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s swim school has council looking into an extension to the complex

The aquatic centre, which was built at a cost of $15 million, opened in 2013 but already demand for the facilities is reaching capacity.

In its Draft Annual Plan, which is currently out for public feedback, council is proposing to undertake feasibility, planning and design work on possible additions to the centre.

A provisional budget of $250,000 has been included in next year’s annual plan and Mayor Broughton said they want feedback from residents on whether they should press ahead with the feasibility study.

“Since the centre has opened it has been popular with swimmers of all ages and the swim school has been doing great work teaching our kids to swim,” Mayor Broughton said.

“We are now looking whether to include funding for planning and design work to be carried out to develop a multi-

use pool which we could use for swim and aqua fitness classes. “Planning and design work for these changes can be funded without a change in the swimming pool rate but the building of any extension is likely to need an increase in that rate.”

According to council figures the Selwyn Aquatic Centre currently has 1,550 swim school students enrolled in weekly swimming lessons and a waiting list of over 100 students each term. The building of the multi-use pool extension would free up more of the main pool for casual swimmers. If there is support for the development of a new pool, a budget for the construction of this would be included in the Long-Term Plan 2018– 2028, with the project being scheduled to be completed early on in the plan.

Feedback on the pool extension, and the rest of council’s 2017–18 Draft Annual Plan, is open until May 3. 

From farms to killing fields

by Kent Caddick

With the declaration of war on August 4, 1914 many young men from around Selwyn saw an opportunity for adventure and a chance to serve their country in the ‘war to end all wars’.

T

hey came from the small country towns around Selwyn to sign up, and the attraction for many of the country lads, with their ability to ride horses, was to join the Canterbury Mounted Rifles Regiment.

The regiment was assigned to the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade, and formed part of the New Zealand

Expeditionary Force serving alongside two other mounted regiments — the Auckland Mounted Rifles and the Wellington Mounted Rifles.

Selwyn had a history of soldiers on horseback, with the Malvern Mounted Rifles, Amuri Mounted Rifles and the Ellesmere Mounted Rifles being formed around the time of the Boer war (1899–

1902). The three came together to form the 1st Mounted Rifles (Canterbur y Yeomanry Cavalry) and, along with the 8th (South Canterbury) Mounted Rifles and the 10th (Nelson) Mounted Rifles, became the Canterbury Mounted Rifles Regiment (CMR) under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel John Findlay. The CMR was established with 26 officers,

523 other ranks and 600 horses. On September 23, 1914 the regiment left their camp for Lyttelton and embarked on the transport ships HMNZT Tahiti and HMNZT Athenic. Leaving the same day, they arrived at Wellington the next afternoon and disembarked.

On October 14 they boarded the transports again and set sail. With a

in Egypt and the men fought in the same manner as their counterparts in the New Zealand infantry battalions. Evacuated to Egypt, they then took part in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign from 1916 to 1918.

The early battles they were involved in included those at Romani, Gaza and Beersheba. Later in the war they were part of the force which occupied the Jordan Valley. In Sinai and Palestine the mounted rifles were valued for their ability to patrol and carry out reconnaissance over a much larger area than could be covered on foot.

Their final wartime operation was in connection with the capture of the Turkish Fourth Army. During the four years of war, the regiment lost 334 men

(dead from all causes), while another 720 were wounded or debilitated. The regiment was disbanded in June 1919.

Neutering your pet

HALSWELL

 by Yolande Howell BVSc (Hons), Selwyn Veterinary Centre

Neutering means the removal of an animal’s reproductive organ. In males it is commonly referred to as castration and in females it is referred to as spaying.

Neutering can be done on common pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits and rodents. It is best to discuss this with your veterinarian. Your vet will be able to advise you when the best time is to neuter your pet.

The procedures are done under general anaesthesia, and you will be amazed how well animals recover from their operations.

The benefits of neutering are numerous. First and foremost we want to control overpopulation of animals — each year thousands of animals end up homeless in shelters and are euthanised. Homeless cats are also culled by trapping and shooting in many places in New Zealand.

Secondly, diseases such as testicular cancer in males and mammary cancer in females may be prevented by neutering.

Talk to your vet and discuss when the best time is to neuter your pet to prevent these conditions.

Thirdly, neutering reduces, and can eliminate, unwanted behaviours.

These include urine spraying or marking. Animals are also less likely to roam and escape your property once they are neutered as hormones play a huge role in this sort of behaviour, and a female in season can attract a lot of unwanted attention in the neighbourhood. Many animals are also more settled and calmer once neutered and in some cases it will dramatically reduce aggressive behaviour.

Fourthly, a female dog in season can lead to unwanted matings, false pregnancies and also it is really messy.

A bitch in season can bleed for up to three weeks.

Fifthly, if you have pet siblings that are not neutered, they are likely to mate.

Animals don’t have the same respect as humans to family relationships. Siblings

SMOKE ALARMS will mate with each other and in-bred offspring are prone to birth defects and deformities.

In addition, there are lots of common myths or old wives tales regarding neutering such as: “My pet is going to miss his testicles and he’ll be less of a man” — No, animals do not have any sentimental attachment to their reproductive organs.

And no, animals do not have egos like humans do.

“My pet is going to get fat after neutering” — Their metabolism may change but with the appropriate diet and feeding habits, weight gain is preventable.

“I heard that it is better to let her to have one litter first” — There is no benefit to your pet’s health in having a litter. There are too many animals out there already.

“I want my children to experience the miracle of birth” — Children should be taught how precious life is and to look after their pets well. Allowing their pet

to have pups or kittens is teaching them that animals can be given away or sold as commodities.

So please be a responsible owner and neuter your pet.

There are too many animals that end up in rescue centres and shelters around the world and they can’t all be saved. 

Judges praise Hororata farm operation During the 2014–15 season Paul Clement oversaw the transition of the original 145ha Delaborin Farm near Hororata to its current form of 355ha under irrigation, milking 1,200 cows.

Mr Clement’s management of the transition and the current operation of the property was recognised at the recent Canterbury Ballance Farm Environment Awards, taking out the Waterforce Integrated Management Award.

The 370ha Hororata property, on flat land south west of Darfield, is a System 3 dairy operation tracking for production of 460kg/MS/cow this year.

The farm is one of 13, milking approximately 13,000 cows on the Canterbury Plains, owned by Theland Purata Farm Group, formerly Synlait Farms.

The judges said they were impressed with Paul’s approach, noting that health and safety was ‘an intrinsic part of this farm’s culture.

‘Paul has not only embraced the systems in place at Purata, he lives and breathes them, leading by example.

‘He is heavily involved in the development of systems on the farm and within the wider Purata group where he has a leadership role.

‘His focus on people is one of the standout features of his approach to farming and the judges were struck by the evidence everywhere on farm of the

priority he places on that’. The judges noted that throughout the Hororata operation there was recognition that water is a valuable resource and therefore monitoring and measuring systems were a major factor in ensuring the best use of the resource.

There are four Aquaflex soil moisture monitors installed on the farm and in addition Paul also manually checks the moisture of the soils regularly.

This information combined with extensive weather measuring such as rainfall and evapotranspiration, and forecasting, allows optimum irrigation scheduling.

Centre pivots cover 343ha and in the larger dryland corners there are solid set sprinklers covering 13ha.

The irrigators are linked to cloudbased technology which enables remote operation via a Smartphone. 

Farming

Waikari deer farmers win water quality award Waikari deer and sheep farmers Lyndon and Millie Matthews have been awarded the Environment Canterbury Water Quality Award at the regional Ballance Farm Environment Awards (BFEA) in Christchurch.

The award judges noted the family “take huge pride in their farm environment and have, over many years, enhanced and protected its sensitive areas and natural values.”

They added that the couple has built a farm system that suits their environment in a drought-prone area. Ordinarily the 267ha farm winters 3,000 stock units (su), however the recent prolonged drought drove that down to 2,400su and this winter they are planning on carrying 2,800su.

They have used forages that tolerate the dry better than ryegrass, and management decisions such as early weaning have benefited both the livestock, which consistently perform above industry averages, and the environment.

Judges also noted the family’s commitment to excellent farm stewardship, including the protection and enhancement of sensitive areas such as limestone outcrops and wetlands. Gullies and water courses have also been fenced off and planting programmes are underway. Lyndon and Millie’s children are committed to the

family tradition of planting and have long-term plans to continue this work.

“The theme that keeps coming through for us is this is an intergenerational family farm,” Lyndon said.

His son Eldon, who is in his final year gaining a BComAg at Lincoln University, has long been very focussed on the environment.

Eldon has prepared a comprehensive farm environment plan, which is used to underpin management decisions, and is in conjunction with management software which tracks all stock performance and records.

Environment Canterbury Chair David Bedford, who presented the Water Quality Award, said entrants needed to demonstrate they were aware of the impact their operation had on water quality, and to have taken deliberate steps to manage this.

“Lyndon and Millie Matthews have demonstrated that good sustainable farm management can also be good for business.

“By developing and implementing farm environment plans and utilising technology, farmers can improve

productive capacity while at the same time reducing environmental effects by doing things like fencing and planting along sensitive areas.

“Environment Canterbur y congratulates all entrants in these awards for their vision and leadership to put new ideas into
