There’s no beef about the weather<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Highland dancers weren’t the only<br />
people performing ajig at the Rangiora<br />
A&P Show.<br />
Weather can make or break aoneday<br />
agricultural show. Organisers awoke on<br />
Saturday to near perfect conditions, in<br />
what went on to become one of the nicest<br />
days so far in achangeable spring.<br />
The fine conditions lured showgoers<br />
in their hundreds.<br />
Cattle classes might have been<br />
cancelled due to the Mycoplasma bovis<br />
outbreak, but all ages flocked to see the<br />
sheep.<br />
Youngsters were leading their pet<br />
lambs, old farmers were spinning yarns,<br />
and even new Waimakariri Mayor Dan<br />
Gordon cast his eye over the sheep<br />
entries.<br />
It was Mr Gordon’s first official public<br />
engagement since being sworn in as<br />
mayor last Thursday.<br />
‘‘My favourite time of the year is<br />
always coming to our local A&P show, to<br />
see all the machinery, to see the<br />
livestock, to see all the horses and<br />
everything that goes on.’’<br />
Mr Gordon says while he has no<br />
livestock on his lifestyle block at Ashley<br />
at present, he has akeen interest in<br />
Suffolks.<br />
Youngsters Anna Gartery, aged 8, and<br />
Amelie Bell, 7, were thrilled to win<br />
ribbons with their pet lambs in the Years<br />
3&4and Years 1&2classes,<br />
respectively.<br />
Anna comes from afarm at Cust and<br />
says her lamb is ‘‘cuddly’’. She likes the<br />
way he walks next to her.<br />
Amelie says she gives her lamb ‘‘so<br />
many cuddles’’. She plans to hang the<br />
ribbon up with her other prizes when<br />
she gets home.<br />
Hugh Taylor had the job of selecting<br />
the allbreeds champions. He was<br />
impressed with the sheep on display.<br />
‘‘I know the numbers are down awee<br />
bit, but generally the standard is very<br />
high. Alot of these sheep will go through<br />
the <strong>Canterbury</strong> A&P Show and do very<br />
well.’’<br />

Matt shows he has the right moves<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The South Island Chess<br />
Championship trophy has a<br />
new home in Rangiora,thanks<br />
to the efforts of chess player<br />
MattMcNabb.<br />
For him, the ancient game<br />
is both apleasure and a<br />
passion, and it’s been thatway<br />
since he first learned his way<br />
around it as a5yearold.<br />
He describes it as agame<br />
that’s easy to learn, but<br />
complicated to master.<br />
‘‘I was taughttoplay chess<br />
by my grandfather, who left<br />
me his handturned chess set<br />
whenhedied.<br />
‘‘I then wentontoplay club<br />
chess, as wellasplayingon<br />
the computer, constantly<br />
learning new strategies and<br />
new ways of looking at the<br />
game.<br />
‘‘I love it. It’s great fun,<br />
leaves nothing to chance,and<br />
you never playthe samegame<br />
twice.<br />
‘‘Infact,it’s said there are<br />
morepossible chess positions<br />
thanthere are atoms in the<br />
universe,’’ he says.<br />
Matthas honed his skills<br />
and competed extensively<br />
overthe years, although he<br />
has not managed to fit in many<br />
tournaments since moving<br />
backto<strong>Canterbury</strong> from<br />
Auckland 12 yearsago and<br />
starting afamily.<br />
However, he did make it to<br />
thismonth’stournament at<br />
the HeritageHotel in Hanmer<br />
Springs.There, he playedhis<br />
way to becomingjoint holder<br />
of the South Island title,<br />
bringingthe trophy backto<br />
Waimakariri for six months,<br />
before sending it to<br />
Show patrons flock to see sheep entries<br />
From Page 1<br />
‘‘Andeven into the flock section<br />
there’s somevery good sheep,<br />
whichisgood to see.’’<br />
Mr Taylorchose Oxford farmer<br />
Dave Gillespie’sSouthdown ewe<br />

Check mate ... Matt McNabb with the South Island Chess Championship trophy.<br />
Invercargill to gracethe home<br />
of his cowinner, Edward Lee.<br />
The pair actually placed<br />
fourthequal on points in the<br />
competition,but the three<br />
players aheadofthem were<br />
from the <strong>North</strong> Island, and so<br />
were ineligibletowin the<br />
title.<br />
Matt says he has enteredthe<br />
South Island contest afew<br />
times,but never really had<br />
great results. Thathas now<br />
changed, but since it was first<br />
won in 1950, so manynames<br />
have been engravedonthe<br />
cup thatitnow needsanew<br />

Edward’s names can be added<br />

Gulls opt for abetter<br />
river spot after flood<br />
Blackbilled gulls have been gathering<br />
over the lasttwo months in preparation<br />
for breeding on the AshleyRakahuri<br />
River.<br />
Theirprogress towards nestinghas<br />
been an interesting but chequered<br />
journey, as it has beeninprevious years.<br />
AshleyRakahuri RivercareGroup<br />
member Grant Davey says, at first,the<br />
birdssettled not farwest of the Cones<br />
Road bridge,<br />
‘‘Buttheir choice was not good,asit<br />
involved low islands very prone to<br />
flooding.<br />
‘‘Fortunately, only asmallpercentage<br />
of them were on nests because, as<br />
feared, afresh on <strong>October</strong> 19 forced<br />
them to move, he says.<br />
Within aday, they had congregated<br />
againabout 3km downstream, on amuch<br />
more suitable site, and by <strong>October</strong>22at<br />
least2200 birdshad beencounted.<br />
‘‘It was ahigherweedfree island<br />
offering protection fromboth floods and<br />
predators. The numberpresent is very<br />
similar to that whichinitiallyarrived on<br />
the river last year,’’MrDaveysays.<br />
Elsewhereonthe river, there has<br />
been avariable start to the breeding<br />
season for other species.<br />
One of the firsttoarrive was the<br />
banded dotterel. Mostnow have young<br />
chicks, while the pied stilt and blackfronted<br />
tern are only just starting to lay<br />
eggs.<br />
‘‘There are at leastsix pairs of wrybill<br />
present. Four havealready hatched<br />
chicks, includingthat of the onlybanded<br />
bird,BWBW.<br />
‘‘He is present at his usual sitefor his<br />
10th season.’’<br />
Wrybill are the most iconic birdof<br />
braided rivers and only breed in<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
GroupChairman NickLedgardsays,<br />
despite its unique status, comparatively<br />
little is known about the species.<br />
‘‘Forthis reason, we are askingthe<br />
public to vote for the wrybill as New<br />

Business optimism<br />
revealed in survey<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>October</strong> <strong>31</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />
5<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> businesses are<br />
holding their own and are<br />
optimistic aboutthe future,<br />
despite being nervous aboutthe<br />
wider New Zealand business<br />
situation, according to the latest<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Business<br />
Opinion Survey.<br />
The results, released this week<br />
by Enterprise <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
(ENC),reveal strength in the local<br />
business community, with<br />
business profitability no longer<br />
negative (net 0% profitability<br />
compared to net 15%inApril),<br />
and 48% of businessesexpecting<br />
more profitinthe coming year.<br />
Thirtypercent expect to<br />
maintain current profit margins.<br />
ENC business supportmanager<br />
Miles Dalton says it has been a<br />
tough year for manylocal<br />
businesses, but the future is<br />
looking good.<br />
‘‘On the whole,both salesand<br />
profits have been flat over the last<br />
six months, but lookingat<br />
previous profit cyclesthe<br />
indicators are that we should see<br />
some good results over 2020.<br />
‘‘Thisupcoming cycleiscoming<br />
from alower base so we can<br />
predict aprofitable 2020,but<br />
perhaps not as good as some other<br />
yearshave been.’’<br />
The surveyalso reveals that<br />
businesses are holding backon<br />
further investmentatthe moment,<br />
but are optimistic about their own<br />
prospectsfor the coming six<br />
months.<br />
Local business owner Laura<br />
Good, of Create Design Studio in<br />
Rangiora, says she is feeling<br />
positiveabout the comingmonths.<br />
‘‘I am excited for the next six<br />
months.<br />
‘‘Wehave actually seena<br />
significant lift in our turnover in<br />
the past six months, but Iknow<br />
somebusinesses have<br />
experienced aslightdownturn.<br />
While it is hardtopredictwhat’s<br />
coming, Ilike to lookonthe<br />
positive side.’’<br />
The surveyed businesses<br />
expressedalack of confidence in<br />
the general business situation in<br />
New Zealandwith anet 41%<br />
confidence level. Thisisthe<br />
lowest level recorded sinceENC<br />
started surveying in 2013, but is in<br />
linewith businesses across New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Local businessesare continuing<br />
to employmore staff and the gross<br />
domestic product (GDP) in <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> is growingatthe same<br />
level as New Zealand as awhole.<br />
‘‘It’s certainlyamixed bag of<br />
indicators,’’ Mr Daltonsays.<br />
‘‘There is alevel of optimism<br />
thatbodes well for the future, but<br />
someofthe indicators suggest that<br />
businessesneed to continue to<br />
carefullywatchtheirmargins.At<br />
thisstage, 2020looks likely to be<br />
positive.’’<br />

Retired councillor would do it again<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
John Meyer says he has enjoyed<br />
working as part of ‘‘some great<br />
teams’’ during his time in local<br />
government.<br />
He retired this month from<br />
the Waimakariri District<br />
Council after five terms as a<br />
councillor, but will continue to<br />
serve on the KaiapoiTuahiwi<br />
Community Board.<br />
‘‘If Ihad the opportunities<br />
again Iwould certainly do it.<br />
It’s been that pleasurable and<br />
we’ve had some great teams,’’<br />
Mr Meyer says.<br />
He was first elected to the<br />
Ashley County Council in 1973,<br />
when he was aged 25 and living<br />
in Amberley.<br />
‘‘It was my involvement with<br />
Jaycees in Amberley which led<br />
to me standing. They<br />
nominated me for council and I<br />
got on.<br />
‘‘Councillors in those days<br />
didn’t get paid, so Iappreciate<br />
these people who say they need<br />
more support. But Iwas lucky.<br />
Lynda was ateacher and Ihad<br />
agood firm Iwas working for<br />
who encouraged me and liked<br />
the idea of me being on the<br />
council.<br />
‘‘It was areally good learning<br />
curve and it was so enjoyable<br />
and challenging.’’<br />
After two terms on the Ashley<br />
County Council, the Meyers<br />
returned to Kaiapoi where Mr<br />
Meyer joined the family<br />
business at Williams Garage,<br />
now the Caltex service station.<br />
His fatherinlaw Ben<br />
Williams served three terms as<br />
Kaiapoi mayor.<br />
In the 1980s Mr Meyer joined<br />
the Kaiapoi High School board<br />
of governors before being<br />
elected on to the board of<br />
trustees and serving as board<br />
chairman.<br />
He was first elected to the<br />
Waimakariri District Council<br />
in 1995 and served two terms as<br />
Kaiapoi Community Board<br />
chairman before missing in<br />
2001 by just four votes.<br />
‘‘In those first two terms we<br />
had really good teams. We had<br />
some big challenges with the<br />
sewage system, growth and the<br />
roundabouts.<br />
‘‘The sewage system was<br />
corrected and sent out to sea<br />
rather than into the river, and<br />
the town was growing far faster<br />
than we thought it would.’’<br />
In 2010 he was reelected to<br />
the council and has served on<br />
the local community board in<br />
all but three of the last 24 years.<br />
‘‘You can do little things as an<br />
individual, but, for the big<br />
things, working as ateam<br />
makes it far more achievable.’’<br />
Given many councillors are<br />
juggling jobs or running<br />
businesses, Mr Meyer wonders<br />
whether there should be fewer<br />
councillors to make it afulltime<br />
role and more authority<br />
could be delegated to<br />
community boards.<br />
‘‘I think there’s some merit in<br />
it and Ithink it would be fairer.<br />
That will come up for<br />
discussion again in the review<br />
period and those questions will<br />
be asked in ademocratic way.’’<br />
The Meyers have two adult<br />
children and four<br />
grandchildren.<br />
In his retirement, Mr Meyer<br />
plans to spend more time with<br />
his grandchildren, in his<br />
garden, working on his classic<br />
cars, and whitebaiting.<br />
He owns an MGB GT sports<br />
car, aRover P6B and a1964<br />
Rover P4.<br />
Long service ... John Meyer<br />

recognition for serving as<br />
chairman of the Waimakariri<br />
District Council’s road safety<br />
committee for the last nine years.<br />

In brief<br />
Braking targeted<br />
Anew roaduser sign aimed at<br />
heavyvehicle drivers has been<br />

It has been placed on the<br />
subdivision side of the heavytrafficbypass,<br />
shortlybefore the<br />
Lehmans and Oxford Road<br />

by the Waimakariri District<br />
Council to help reducetraffic<br />
noise for nearby residents.<br />

What became of former mayor?<br />

West Eyreton resident Wendy Morganis<br />
on amission.<br />
She is trying to traceher family tree,<br />
but is hamperedbythe factthat<br />
computers don’t comenaturally to her.<br />
In particular, she is lookingtofind out<br />
more about one ancestor, aman called<br />
William Wilson.<br />
His nickname was Cabbage, given—<br />
apparently—because of his preference<br />
for hatswoven from cabbage tree leaves.<br />
He was aprominentnurseryman and<br />
landowner in Christchurch,with one<br />
record showingacauliflower that was<br />
more thanthree feetincircumference<br />
and weighing 11lb –— just ashadeoff 5kg.<br />
He was also the first mayorof<br />
Christchurch and seemstohave been a<br />
powerfuland authoritative figure.<br />
He was apparently responsible for the<br />
central islandtree plantings on<br />
Fitzgeraldand Bealey avenues, and<br />
possibly the plantings on the banks of the<br />
Avon.<br />
Thesewere all implementedwhen he<br />
was subcommittee chairman responsible<br />
for thelandscaping of thoseareas,<br />
according to the website Papers Past.<br />
Unfortunately, his private lifewasn’t so<br />
Phillipa says Satisfy’s focusremains<br />
on better living and raisingawareness.<br />
‘‘We are trying to find away to engage<br />
the community and the focus is on waste<br />
reduction in the home.’’<br />
She sayspeople regularly throwout<br />
food whichisstilledible.<br />
‘‘People get confused with the ‘best<br />
before date’, but it has more to do with<br />
freshness, so it’s all about using your<br />
senses,’’ Phillipasays.<br />
‘‘If the datewasn’t there, how would<br />
you tell?’’Stef adds.<br />
The fundraising eventoffers two<br />
ticketing options, either come at 9.30am<br />
for asessionofyoga, or joininat<br />

his band, ElectricTemples,inthe<br />
Rangiora Town Hall.<br />
‘‘It was avery hardcompetition<br />
to judge; theirtalent is so high,’’<br />
David says. ‘‘I thinkthat halfof<br />
the vocalists, if they auditioned<br />
for JazzSchool(at Ara Institute of<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>) theywould get in.<br />
‘‘I’m glad that we were justa<br />
guest act.’’<br />
The 24yearold is studying at<br />
the Christchurch Jazz school. He<br />
is working on his first solo album,<br />
Time,and is amember of the<br />
band The Preservatives,as well as<br />
Electric Temples.<br />
He was one of theoriginal<br />
members of youthevents group<br />
WaiYouth, in the days before<br />
Centrestage.<br />
The other judges were Emily<br />
Johnstone, aformerstudent of<br />
Rangiora High School and the<br />
Hartley School of Performing<br />
Arts, and Shannyn Miller, aJazz<br />
Schoolstudent who playselectric<br />
guitarfor Electric Temples.<br />
They had to choose between<br />
dancing and aerobics,aswell as<br />
vocalists and instrumentals<br />

‘We have to play our part’<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
New Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> councillor<br />
GrantEdge expects the<br />
regional body’s ‘‘climate<br />
emergency’’ will remain<br />
in place for some time<br />
yet.<br />
He says climate<br />
change, biodiversity and<br />
waterissues are the most<br />
challenging issues facing<br />
the <strong>Canterbury</strong> region.<br />
‘‘Climatechangeisa<br />
huge issue acrossthe<br />
board. Whatare we going<br />
to do about climate<br />
change and all the<br />
implications it brings?<br />
‘‘It’s notonly aboutsealevelrise<br />
and lowlying<br />
areaswhichare<br />
vulnerable to flood,but<br />
changes to biodiversity<br />
and the effects on plants<br />
and animals.<br />
‘‘Theworld is saying<br />
‘letsget on with it<br />
because it’shappening<br />
already’, even in New<br />
Zealand. It’s aglobal<br />
issueand we havetoplay<br />
our part.’’<br />
Mr Edgewas elected<br />
alongside sitting<br />

in the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
ward and is no stranger<br />

issues, having served10<br />

‘‘It’sencouraging that<br />
peoplewith good<br />
experience,who havea<br />
wide breadth of<br />
knowledge and are able<br />
to ask questions and<br />
understand theanswers,<br />
have been elected on to<br />
the council.<br />
‘‘A number of them are<br />
scientists or have served<br />
on zone committeesor<br />
the regional committee,<br />
so we’vegot abit of a<br />
taste for what’s going on.’’<br />
He says it is essential<br />

‘‘It’sthe realisation<br />
that ECan coversacross<br />
the whole regionand<br />
you’remaking decisions<br />
that impact acrossthe<br />
whole area.<br />
‘‘In the campaign there<br />
was areal sense of alack<br />
of understanding about<br />
what ECanactually does,<br />
so there, perhaps, needs<br />
to be better<br />
communication.’’<br />
He says ECan’s<br />

New mayor set<br />
for challenges<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Craig Mackle is looking<br />
forward to the challenge of<br />
being Kaikoura’s new mayor.<br />
Mr Mackle was due to be<br />
sworn in yesterday at the first<br />
meeting of the new council<br />
after winning the mayoralty<br />
by just 12 votes.<br />
He says he has spent the<br />
last two weeks ‘‘learning the<br />
ropes’’, attending<br />
school camp and<br />
‘‘looking at my<br />
calendar and<br />
thinking ‘oh my<br />
God’!’’.<br />
‘‘The earthquake<br />
recovery will be the<br />
main focus over the<br />
next few years, to<br />
finish what we’ve<br />
started and stepping<br />
forward to brighter and better<br />
things.<br />
‘‘The next 12 to 18 months<br />
will be pretty hectic as there’s<br />
still quite abit of work to do<br />
until we get back on alevel<br />
keel.’’<br />
Mr Mackle says the new<br />
council will be heading away<br />
for aretreat next month to<br />
plan ahead for the next three<br />
years. It will be held at Mt<br />
Lyford.<br />
Three years ago the newly<br />
elected council was on a<br />
Craig Mackle<br />
planning retreat at St Arnaud<br />
in the Nelson region when the<br />
7.8magnitude earthquake<br />
struck on November 14, 2016.<br />
The councillors made a<br />
hasty retreat back toward<br />
Kaikoura, but soon found<br />
themselves cut off from the<br />
town until being rescued by<br />
helicopter.<br />
‘‘It definitely created abit<br />
of panic and upset,’’ Mr<br />
Mackle recalls.<br />
The new mayor<br />
has been actively<br />
involved in setting<br />
up acharitable trust<br />
to build anew<br />
community pool and<br />
the trust will now<br />
need to appoint a<br />
new trustee, as the<br />
mayor is<br />
automatically<br />
appointed to the trust.<br />
Mr Mackle says he has big<br />
shoes to fill, following the<br />
retirement of Winston Gray,<br />
who led the district for nine<br />
years, including in the<br />
immediate aftermath on the<br />
2016 earthquake.<br />
‘‘I’ve only spoken with<br />
Winston briefly, on the side of<br />
the road, as he’s avery busy<br />
man.<br />
‘‘I just hope Idon’t have the<br />
same challenges he’s had to<br />
deal with.’’<br />
We have an early Christmas present for farmers!<br />
Get a FREE Logger upgradefor water consent meter,soil moisture<br />
and temperature monitoring equipment.<br />
Are you aware that ECan is focussing on Data Gaps for consent monitoring data and taking follow up action? This is<br />
where alogger has not captured data for aperiod of time and shows in the ECan records as aData Gap. If you are still<br />
using Aquacom monitoring units and the Aquacomnetwork you may be at risk of having Data Gaps.<br />
ECan have been communicating with data providers and farmers advising of data missing going back to 2018 (and in<br />
some cases 2017). This places additional and unnecessary stress on farmers and creates additional work for all of us.<br />
From our experience, most Data Gap issues are with the Aquacom units, so we’ve decided to solve this problem at the<br />
source by offering afree IoT logger in exchange for Aquacom units on properties throughout <strong>Canterbury</strong>. Farmers<br />
will get an improvement indata timelines, data reliability and eliminate additional expensive Aquacom repair costs.<br />
Not only will we replace your IoT logger, ifyou sign up before the end of November <strong>2019</strong>, Watermetrics will waive<br />
your consent monitoring fees from now until the end of <strong>2019</strong> season.<br />
By choosing the free upgrade, you will receive monitoring technology that can add additional sensors to monitor a<br />
number of ‘things’. One such example is our soil moisture and soil temperature sensor. Wecan provide these at<br />
$1,850 each, (500mm probe) plus some installation costs, plus GST.<br />
And the best part? It’s an early Christmas gift -absolutely freeupgrade in exchange for your old Aquacom unit.<br />

LOVE YOUR LAND
Transform<br />
your garden<br />
with anatural timber sauna<br />
For those seeking the ultimate in garden lifestyle,<br />
the answer canbefound at <strong>Canterbury</strong>Saunas, says<br />
business owner Mark Smith. As he explains, aFinnish<br />
barrel sauna turns agarden into asanctuary of<br />
relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation.<br />
The barrels come from Finland and<br />
are made by apassionate family<br />
company, who live, breathe and<br />
sleep sauna, Mark says. They are<br />
handcrafted fromThermowood, a<br />
very slow-growing Nordic Spruce<br />
that has been heat-treated at205<br />
degrees celcius for two days. The<br />
timber is free of resin, durable, and<br />
not prone to warping, so is perfect<br />
for sauna. Thermowood is also 25 per<br />
cent more thermally efficient compared to<br />
cedar.<br />
“Similar-looking saunas are available elsewhere.<br />
However, at <strong>Canterbury</strong> Saunas we use 45mm-thick<br />
timber to ensure longevity and we offer many upgrade<br />
options, such aswindows and different lengths and<br />
widths.<br />
”People were taken aback at the recent <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Home Show, at the quality of the ball-and-socket<br />
joinery and how many growth rings were on the timber<br />
walls –people kept coming up and stroking them,”<br />
Mark says.<br />
Unrivalled in size and options for customisation,<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Saunas also exclusively offers<br />
the Huum heater range, from 4.5kw to<br />
18kw. The standard model holds 55kg<br />
of stones, which produces fabulous<br />
steam, and with an upgrade option<br />
the heater can be controlled<br />
remotely with asmart phone.<br />
For amore rustic feel, clients can<br />
also upgrade to atraditional woodburning<br />
heater, perfect for people in<br />
remote locations.<br />
Mark says sauna compares well to a<br />
conventional spa pool, without the need to<br />
run the heater constantly. Hehas used his St Albans<br />
sauna several times aweek for over ayear and has<br />
found that the electricity costs are about $2 asession.<br />
Virtually maintenance free, there are noslippery steps,<br />
filters tobechanged or harsh chemicals to add to the<br />
sauna –aquicksweep outand wipe down every few<br />
weeks issufficient. Oiling the outside of the timber<br />
once ayear is also recommended.<br />
Published studies from the University of Bristol, which<br />
used very large study groups over 20 years, have<br />
come back with some interesting findings, Mark says.<br />
Regular use ofFinnish-style saunas can reduce blood<br />
pressure and the chance ofstroke. It also benefits<br />
skin condition and eases breathing problems. Soft<br />
tissue aches and pains are also eased in the heat of<br />
sauna. Finally, the barrel shape and quiet environment<br />
combine to create afeeling of peace and sanctuary<br />
away from the hectic pace of life.<br />

Ease aches and pains away with a Scandinavian<br />
designed and crafted barrel sauna, the hot<br />
new option with some great advantages.<br />
1. Saunas only use power when in use.<br />
2. Saunas aren’t noisy.<br />
3. Easier to keep clean with no need for chemicals.<br />
4. Enjoyable in any weather, cocooned from<br />
the elements.<br />
5. Safer – no slippery steps, level floor, and easy to get<br />
in and out of.<br />
6. Lower maintenance because there’s only one<br />
working part, the heater.<br />

Wonderful wheels ... Malcolm Fraser and his wife, Joanne, enjoy getting out and<br />
about in Audrey.<br />
Audrey loves to cruise the<br />
highways and byways<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Rangiora’s Malcolm Fraser loves<br />
cruising in Audrey.<br />
He bought the 1965 Ford<br />
Thunderbird, which sports a<br />
stunning Cherry Bomb Amethyst<br />
paint job, about 12 months ago. He<br />
was drawn by its spaciousness.<br />
He had previously owned two, twoseater<br />
Corvettes. But now there is<br />
room for his wife, Joanne, and the<br />
grandchildren<br />
Malcolm will be lining up with<br />
Audrey at the USA Day at Woodend<br />
on Sunday, November 3.<br />
He bought the ‘‘old cruisey’’ lefthanddrive,<br />
390cubicinch V8 from<br />
Tauranga.<br />
‘‘She came in from California, was<br />
cream, and was pretty much original.<br />
‘‘She is not completely finished<br />
being restored —nocar ever is,’’<br />
Malcolm says.<br />
He tries to take her for atrip every<br />
weekend. ‘‘She floats along. Ilove<br />
driving her.’’<br />
Joanne, on the other hand, has no<br />
intention of getting behind the wheel<br />
and mastering lefthand drive. ‘‘It’s<br />
his sport,’’ she says.<br />
They both helped name Audrey.<br />
Joanne had put a‘‘Laundry’’ sign<br />
up in their new laundry, but the land<br />
the nfailed to stick.<br />
Hence her name Audrey, which<br />
can be seen on the Thunderbird’s<br />
back window.<br />
He is considering airbrushing<br />
Audrey on to the boot, in honour of<br />
the late actress Audrey Hepburn.<br />

Tony marvels at the digital revolution<br />
By GINA MCKENZIE<br />
WhenTony Benny startedhis<br />
journalism careerinrural<br />
Timaru in the 1970s,hehanded<br />
overhis articles and photos to<br />
the local bus drivertotakethem<br />
to the mainnewspaper office.<br />
Today, he usescuttingedge<br />
technologytoexpand his video<br />
production and communications<br />
businessbased at Coopers<br />
Creek,nearOxford.<br />
‘‘Itseemsfunnylooking back<br />
and remembering hurrying to<br />
get my copyand photos to the<br />
bus driverbefore he headed off<br />
to Timaru to drop it off at the<br />
Herald.’’<br />
TonystartedUpside Down<br />
Productions in 1998while still<br />
workingfor CountryCalendar.<br />
He credits advances in<br />
technology, including camera<br />
equipment, theinternet andnew<br />
devices such as drones with<br />
enabling himtooperate a<br />
nationwide business from atiny<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> village.<br />
‘‘Itwas agradual process as I<br />
startedbuying equipment and<br />
gainingclients, butwithout<br />
advances in technology I<br />
definitely wouldn’tbewhere I<br />
am today.<br />
‘‘It’samazing thatIcan sitin<br />
my home officeand upload<br />
videos or photos in acoupleof<br />
minutes now, when Ithink about<br />
how it used to be.<br />
‘‘Everything has become<br />
smaller and moreaffordable<br />
overthe last30years. Being able<br />
to capture drone footageadds a<br />
whole newdimensiontomy<br />
business.’’<br />
Tony saysmanyadvances have<br />
been madesince theearly1970s<br />
when teleprinterswereusedin<br />
newsrooms acrossNew Zealand.<br />
Themachinesprinted outnews<br />
from agenciesand therewould<br />
be along trail of computer paper<br />
snaking throughthe studioeach<br />
morning ready to be cutinto<br />
separatepagesized sections.<br />
‘‘Iremember we had one guy<br />
in the TVNZnewsroom in<br />
Dunedin whose solejob was<br />
lookingafterthe teleprinter.<br />
‘‘It was something of acrisis<br />
when Iwas asub editor at the<br />
OtagoDaily Times if the<br />
teleprintersbrokedown —a<br />
manfromthe PostOffice would<br />
be called in at anytime of day or<br />
night to get them goingagain.’’<br />
When Tony workedfor TVNZ<br />
in Wellington during the 1980s,<br />
thefax machine wasviewedasa<br />
great step forwardfrom<br />
teleprinters.<br />
‘‘To be abletotype something<br />
andthenfeeditinto afax forit<br />
to be printed off in someother<br />
office seemed remarkable then.’’<br />
Tony laughs when comparing<br />
teleprintersand faxes to the<br />
technology used by his new<br />
drone.‘‘I got aphone callthe<br />
otherday when Iwas out getting<br />
some footage. We chattedfor a<br />
fewminutesthenIsaid, ‘I’llhave<br />
to go —mydrone’shovering up<br />
therewaiting for me’.<br />
‘‘We’rereally lucky to have<br />
this technology available and to<br />
be able to teach ourselves howto<br />
useit.’’<br />

also helpedTony with improved<br />

we had to getasecond phone<br />

everything was reallyslow but<br />
now it’salmost as fast as the<br />
editing studio in Christchurch.<br />
‘‘I really enjoybeing able to<br />
workfrom home and usingthe<br />
faster speed internet.’’<br />
Tonytravels alloverNew<br />
Zealand to work with clients. He<br />
enjoysthe flexibility of usinghis<br />
phone as ahot spottodeal with<br />
filerequests and emailsduring<br />
driving breaks.<br />
‘‘Connectivity hasreally<br />
improved so Ican respond to<br />
requests on the go now which<br />
wouldn’thave been possible a<br />
few years ago in manyrural<br />

Cloudbasedtechnologysuch<br />

‘‘Beingable to store largefiles<br />

easier. Beforewehad to burn a<br />

which madeeverything more<br />
timeconsuming. Everyone can<br />

Tony plans to keepworking<br />
past retirement age andsays<br />
further advanceswill allow<br />
more peopleinhis sector to<br />
continue working longer.<br />
‘‘I’ll keepworking as long as<br />
possible. Everythingisgetting<br />
smaller and lighter withnew<br />

The brothersare trained<br />
artificial insemination<br />
technicians and the business<br />
has an embryo transfer<br />
programme.<br />
‘‘We’ve been importinghighquality<br />
embryosfrom Canada<br />
to implant in our cowsfor the<br />
past five or six years,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘It’sakey part of our<br />
It’sall about milking smarter<br />
Milking efficiency helpstoattractand<br />
retainstaff through better labour<br />
management.<br />
When long workinghours onfarm<br />
becomethe norm,stress, fatigue,and<br />
resentment can start to dominatedaily<br />
routines.<br />
Often,sharemilkersorstaff will move<br />
on to another farm where the worklife<br />
balance is better.<br />
On most dairy farms, milkingaccounts<br />
for more than 50 percent of staffhours,<br />
so it makes sense to target that areafor<br />
efficiency, as savings can significantly<br />
reducetotal hours worked.<br />
That’swhy consultantJosh Wheeler, a<br />
recognisedMilksmartexpertfrom<br />
quality management systems provider<br />
QCONZ,has beencontracted by<br />
DairyNZ to work directly with farmer<br />
discussiongroups and provide<br />
Milksmart workshops for rural<br />
professionals.<br />
His aim is to helpfarmers understand<br />
the valueofDairyNZ’s Milksmart<br />
efficiency programmeand other similar<br />
approaches, suchasDairyNZ’s MaxT<br />
milking strategy.<br />
With MaxT, cowsare milked to a<br />
maximum time —one that will shorten<br />
milking duration for up to the slowest 20<br />
percent of cows.<br />
‘‘Any dairy farmers who can provide<br />
betterworking hours for themselves and<br />
their team are morelikely to attract and<br />
retainstaff,’’ Mr Wheeler says.<br />
‘‘Demand is outstripping the supply of<br />
suitable people for onfarmroles,partly<br />
because unemployment across the<br />
country is only 4%.<br />
breeding strategy.’’<br />
The herd’spedigree<br />
HolsteinFriesians are<br />
registered under Belbrook<br />
Holsteins.<br />
It is the leading herd in New<br />
Zealand for having the highest<br />
number of excellent cows (120),<br />
according to Holstein<br />
International magazine.<br />
Robbie’s longterm goal is for<br />
one of his bovine beauties to be<br />
named supreme champion<br />
dairy cow at theNew Zealand<br />
Agricultural Show.<br />
The Wakelins are taking<br />
eight cowsand fourheifers to<br />
nextmonth’s show.<br />
His love of showing began in<br />
primary school, when his late<br />
father Trevor Wakelin boughta<br />
cow named Cresslands<br />
Ambition Dalia EX4.<br />
‘‘ShowingDalia’sfirst calf<br />
ignited my passionfor cows<br />
and the Holstein Friesian<br />
breed in particular,’’ he says.<br />
Robbie doesn’tjust show<br />
cattle; he is also atrained<br />
judge. He became an associate<br />
judge in 2008, when he was 16.<br />
He has judged at several<br />
shows, onfarm competitions<br />
and club competitions.<br />
‘‘Onfarmswheremilkingtimes are<br />
morethan threehours, staffare waking<br />
before 4am to go and get the cows,’’ he<br />
says.<br />
‘‘That’shard on the body,gettingupat<br />
thattime.<br />
‘‘So, if theycan become more efficient<br />
at milking and startcloser to 5am,<br />
everyone can get abit more time in bed.<br />
‘‘That’sone of the main‘buyins’ for<br />
manyfarmersand their staff.<br />
‘‘Implementing MaxT’s milking<br />
strategy has been showntobethe most<br />
efficient way to milk cows.<br />
‘‘I’ve found that, onfarm, MaxT<br />
provides benefits that are not only good<br />
for people, but also for cow health and<br />
the business’s bottomline.’’<br />
Mr Wheeler has worked withplentyof<br />
farmers using Milksmart and MaxT who<br />
havesaved one to two hours per milking<br />
—that’stwo to four hours aday if<br />
milking twice daily.<br />
The teamcan also plan around<br />
milking with more accuracy, thanks to<br />
moreconsistent finishing times.<br />
‘‘Farmers talk about ‘labour saving’,<br />
but they’re not looking to cut back on<br />
labour.<br />
‘‘It’s aboutredirecting it, so theydon’t<br />
needtoadd extra time on to the day to<br />
get other jobs done.<br />
‘‘Italso frees up more timefor better<br />
decisionmakingand for family,<br />
community and other nonwork<br />
activities.’’<br />

DAIRY FARMING IN NORTH CANTERBURY<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>October</strong> <strong>31</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />
Cows sure to look their best at show<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The Sherriff familyisbusy<br />
transitioning cows from<br />
grass to dry feed, as the<br />
New Zealand Agricultural<br />
Show approaches.<br />
The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
dairy farmers have won<br />
supremechampiondairy<br />
cow at the Christchurch<br />
show for the last three<br />
years and have ateam of<br />
seven cowsintraining for<br />
this year’sshow.<br />
Olivia Cahill farms with<br />
her husband Jared and<br />
father Peter Sherriff at<br />
Ohoka, near Rangiora, and<br />
is in charge of preparing<br />
the team of cowsfor the<br />
show, being heldat<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>Agricultural<br />
Park in midNovember.<br />
‘‘We start about fourto<br />
five weeks out, by bringing<br />
them off the grass and<br />
puttingthem in the shed,<br />
feedingthem hay, putting<br />
them on the halter and<br />
then returningthem to<br />
grass.<br />
‘‘A weekout from the<br />
show they are just on dry<br />
feed, replicating what they<br />
will get at the show.’’<br />
Olivia saysthe pens at<br />
the show are prepared over<br />
the weekend,‘‘so by the<br />
time we bringthe cowsin<br />
on Mondaythey can just<br />
walk in, sit down and<br />
relax’’.<br />
The cowswill stick to<br />
their normal schedule of<br />
morningand evening<br />
milkings duringshow<br />
week, except on Thursday,<br />
which is judging day.<br />
‘‘We get them full of milk<br />
on Thursday.Wewill work<br />
out how much milk to keep<br />
on them so the judge can<br />
look at how they holdtheir<br />
milk up,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘It’sabouttaking what<br />
you’vebred and showing<br />
them off and hopefully<br />
doing well.’’<br />
Peter says showing cattle<br />
is about production<br />
attributes, rather than ‘‘a<br />
beautycontest’’.<br />
Their twotimesupreme<br />
champion cow, 7yearold<br />
Maria,was recently tested<br />
with 48 litresofmilk.<br />
‘‘Mostfarmers would be<br />
happy if theircows were<br />
producing 20 litres and it<br />
doesn’t costtwice as much<br />
to feedher and you don’t<br />
need to get her in calftwice<br />
as oftentoget that48<br />
litres.’’<br />
The Sherrainestud cows<br />
weigh in at around600kg<br />
each, considered ‘‘too big’’<br />
by New Zealand standards;<br />
and American genetics are<br />
used in their breeding,<br />
which means the<br />
Sherraine herd has apoor<br />
‘‘breed worth’’ratingwith<br />
Livestock Improvement<br />
Corporation (LIC).<br />
‘‘We have aminus187<br />
‘breedworth’, whichis<br />
considered oneofthe<br />
poorest herdsinNew<br />
Zealand,’’ Peter says.<br />
‘‘But how many cows<br />

have produced more than<br />
45,000litres of milk in their<br />
lifetime?’’<br />
Carra,now 11, who won<br />
supreme champion in 2016,<br />
has producedmore than<br />
60,000litres and was the<br />
only entrant in the<br />
45,000plus litresclass at<br />
last year’s show. This year<br />
Carra will be joinedby<br />
Maria in the 45,000plus<br />
litresclass, Olivia says.<br />
‘‘Environmental issues<br />
are the big thing going<br />
forward and theseare the<br />
New Zealandcowsofthe<br />
future.’’<br />
The next big thing ... Olivia Cahill checks on 5yearold<br />
cow Lucy, who she hopes will enjoy some success at the<br />

Coating breakthrough hailed as agame-changer<br />
Could nanotechnology increase onfarm<br />
productivityand reduce environmental<br />
impacts?<br />
That is aquestion aLincoln University<br />
research teamhopes to answer, thanks to<br />
a$1milliongrant from the Ministry of<br />
Business, Innovation and Employment’s<br />
endeavour fund.<br />
Lincoln University Associate Professor<br />
Craig Bunt says his team will develop a<br />
groundbreaking nanocoatingwhich can<br />
be appliedtofertilisertocontrol its rate of<br />
release into soil, and to seeds to control<br />
their timing of germination.<br />
‘‘Controlling fertiliser rateofrelease is<br />
important because release that is too<br />
rapid can result in excessive nitrogen<br />
being lost into soil and waterways, causing<br />
significant pollution and other negative<br />
environmental impacts.<br />
‘‘When nitrogen is lost,farmers must<br />
apply more fertiliser to achieve desired<br />
results, which increases farming costs.’’<br />
The team will initially focus on<br />
understanding the science of the new<br />
polyester nanocoatingand its<br />
biodegradation.<br />

lineduptojudge at this year’s<br />
show,says Anne Rogers, who is<br />
convenor of the cattle and<br />
alpaca committee.<br />
‘‘We’re thrilled to haveRobin<br />
and it shouldcreate plenty of<br />
interest in the alpaca section,’’<br />
says Mrs Rogers,who is an<br />
alpaca breeder at Okuku, near<br />
Rangiora.<br />
Mr Nasemann was bornin<br />
Germany,went to school in<br />
England and studied for a<br />
masters degree in economics in<br />
Switzerland.<br />
His family startedbreeding<br />
alpacas in 2003and now has a<br />
herd of 100 alpacasinwest<br />
Germany.<br />
He began judgingin2010 and<br />
has judgedatalpaca shows<br />
throughoutEuropeand <strong>North</strong><br />
America.<br />

Europe.<br />
Mrs Rogerssaysalpaca<br />
entries are up slightly on last<br />
year, withjudging due to take<br />
place on the Thursday and<br />
Fridayofthe show.<br />
Having thealpacas located<br />
close to the cattle ring makes<br />
the jobofconvening both<br />
sections easier, she says.<br />
‘‘Most of my time will be with<br />
the alpacas, but Idorove over<br />
to the otherside throughoutthe<br />
three days.<br />
‘‘Wemoved the alpacas to a<br />
new area last year,whichhas<br />
worked reallywell.<br />
‘‘I love the new area; it’s on a<br />
diagonal, so we back on to the<br />
cattle arena.<br />
‘‘It’s areallynice area.’’<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Next month’s New Zealand Trotting Cup<br />
Day at Addington Raceway will be a<br />
nervoustime for <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s new race<br />
caller, Matthew Cross.<br />
The young commentator, who grew up<br />
in Kaiapoi and went to school there, took<br />
over from Mark McNamara as race<br />
caller for the <strong>Canterbury</strong> region last<br />
August.<br />
He was aguest speaker at the<br />
Rangiora Harness Racing Club’s annual<br />
generalmeetingthis month.<br />
Matthew, aged 26, said he was looking<br />
forwardtocalling the $750,000 race on<br />
Tuesday, November 12.<br />
It was something he had longed to do<br />
since he was ateen watching Reon<br />
Murtha calling races at Addington.<br />
‘‘Everyone else was watching the races<br />
but Iwas watching Reon up in the<br />
commentary box,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘I knew then that was what Iwanted to<br />
do when Iwas old enough.<br />
HARNESS RACING<br />
‘‘I am very fortunate to be doing what<br />
Iamdoing now.’’<br />
However, he is sure there will be<br />
butterflies before the big race on Cup<br />
Day.<br />
‘‘It will be an incredible honour to call<br />
such aprestigious race.<br />
‘‘Everyday Ithink about it.’’<br />
After leaving school, Matt became a<br />
junior driver working for Cran Dalgety<br />
at West Melton for two years.<br />
He also worked for Mark Jones at<br />
Burnham andWoodendBeach trainers<br />
David and Catherine Butt before<br />
accepting acadetship with the New<br />
Zealand Racing Board as understudy to<br />
Mark McNamara and Trackside<br />
television presenter Greg O’Connor.<br />
He did his first race commentaries at<br />
the Rangiora Harness Racing Club’s<br />
