There’s no beef about the weather 

By DAVID HILL 

Highland dancers weren’t the only 

people performing ajig at the Rangiora 

A&P Show. 

Weather can make or break aoneday 

agricultural show. Organisers awoke on 

Saturday to near perfect conditions, in 

what went on to become one of the nicest 

days so far in achangeable spring. 

The fine conditions lured showgoers 

in their hundreds. 

Cattle classes might have been 

cancelled due to the Mycoplasma bovis 

outbreak, but all ages flocked to see the 

sheep. 

Youngsters were leading their pet 

lambs, old farmers were spinning yarns, 

and even new Waimakariri Mayor Dan 

Gordon cast his eye over the sheep 

entries. 

It was Mr Gordon’s first official public 

engagement since being sworn in as 

mayor last Thursday. 

‘‘My favourite time of the year is 

always coming to our local A&P show, to 

see all the machinery, to see the 

livestock, to see all the horses and 

everything that goes on.’’ 

Mr Gordon says while he has no 

livestock on his lifestyle block at Ashley 

at present, he has akeen interest in 

Suffolks. 

Youngsters Anna Gartery, aged 8, and 

Amelie Bell, 7, were thrilled to win 

ribbons with their pet lambs in the Years 

3&4and Years 1&2classes, 

respectively. 

Anna comes from afarm at Cust and 

says her lamb is ‘‘cuddly’’. She likes the 

way he walks next to her. 

Amelie says she gives her lamb ‘‘so 

many cuddles’’. She plans to hang the 

ribbon up with her other prizes when 

she gets home. 

Hugh Taylor had the job of selecting 

the allbreeds champions. He was 

impressed with the sheep on display. 

‘‘I know the numbers are down awee 

bit, but generally the standard is very 

high. Alot of these sheep will go through 

the Canterbury A&P Show and do very 

well.’’

Matt shows he has the right moves 


The South Island Chess 

Championship trophy has a 

new home in Rangiora,thanks 

to the efforts of chess player 

MattMcNabb. 

For him, the ancient game 

is both apleasure and a 

passion, and it’s been thatway 

since he first learned his way 

around it as a5yearold. 

He describes it as agame 

that’s easy to learn, but 

complicated to master. 

‘‘I was taughttoplay chess 

by my grandfather, who left 

me his handturned chess set 

whenhedied. 

‘‘I then wentontoplay club 

chess, as wellasplayingon 

the computer, constantly 

learning new strategies and 

new ways of looking at the 

game. 

‘‘I love it. It’s great fun, 

leaves nothing to chance,and 

you never playthe samegame 

twice. 

‘‘Infact,it’s said there are 

morepossible chess positions 

thanthere are atoms in the 

universe,’’ he says. 

Matthas honed his skills 

and competed extensively 

overthe years, although he 

has not managed to fit in many 

tournaments since moving 

backtoCanterbury from 

Auckland 12 yearsago and 

starting afamily. 

However, he did make it to 

thismonth’stournament at 

the HeritageHotel in Hanmer 

Springs.There, he playedhis 

way to becomingjoint holder 

of the South Island title, 

bringingthe trophy backto 

Waimakariri for six months, 

before sending it to 

Show patrons flock to see sheep entries

‘‘Andeven into the flock section 

there’s somevery good sheep, 

whichisgood to see.’’

ram bred by T.A. and C.M. Beaton.

The pair actually placed 

fourthequal on points in the 

competition,but the three 

players aheadofthem were 

from the North Island, and so 

were ineligibletowin the 

title. 

Matt says he has enteredthe 

South Island contest afew 

times,but never really had 

great results. Thathas now 

changed, but since it was first 

won in 1950, so manynames 

have been engravedonthe 

cup thatitnow needsanew

Edward’s names can be added 

to the honour roll.

Gulls opt for abetter 

river spot after flood 

Blackbilled gulls have been gathering 

over the lasttwo months in preparation 

for breeding on the AshleyRakahuri 

River. 

Theirprogress towards nestinghas 

been an interesting but chequered 

journey, as it has beeninprevious years. 

AshleyRakahuri RivercareGroup 

member Grant Davey says, at first,the 

birdssettled not farwest of the Cones 

Road bridge, 

‘‘Buttheir choice was not good,asit 

involved low islands very prone to 

flooding. 

‘‘Fortunately, only asmallpercentage 

of them were on nests because, as 

feared, afresh on October 19 forced 

them to move, he says. 

Within aday, they had congregated 

againabout 3km downstream, on amuch 

more suitable site, and by October22at 

least2200 birdshad beencounted. 

‘‘It was ahigherweedfree island 

offering protection fromboth floods and 

predators. The numberpresent is very 

similar to that whichinitiallyarrived on 

the river last year,’’MrDaveysays. 

Elsewhereonthe river, there has 

been avariable start to the breeding 

season for other species. 

One of the firsttoarrive was the 

banded dotterel. Mostnow have young 

chicks, while the pied stilt and blackfronted 

tern are only just starting to lay 

eggs. 

‘‘There are at leastsix pairs of wrybill 

present. Four havealready hatched 

chicks, includingthat of the onlybanded 

bird,BWBW. 

‘‘He is present at his usual sitefor his 

10th season.’’ 

Wrybill are the most iconic birdof 

braided rivers and only breed in 

Canterbury. 

GroupChairman NickLedgardsays, 

despite its unique status, comparatively 

little is known about the species. 

‘‘Forthis reason, we are askingthe 

public to vote for the wrybill as New 

Zealand’sBird of the Year —a 

competition which gets under way 

towards theend of thismonth.’’

North Canterbury businesses are

The results, released this week

looking good. 

‘‘On the whole,both salesand 

profits have been flat over the last 

six months, but lookingat

some good results over 2020. 

‘‘Thisupcoming cycleiscoming

Retired councillor would do it again 

By DAVID HILL 

John Meyer says he has enjoyed 

working as part of ‘‘some great 

teams’’ during his time in local 

government. 

He retired this month from 

the Waimakariri District 

Council after five terms as a 

councillor, but will continue to 

serve on the KaiapoiTuahiwi 

Community Board. 

‘‘If Ihad the opportunities 

again Iwould certainly do it. 

It’s been that pleasurable and 

we’ve had some great teams,’’ 

Mr Meyer says. 

He was first elected to the 

Ashley County Council in 1973, 

when he was aged 25 and living 

in Amberley. 

‘‘It was my involvement with 

Jaycees in Amberley which led 

to me standing. They 

nominated me for council and I 

got on. 

‘‘Councillors in those days 

didn’t get paid, so Iappreciate 

these people who say they need 

more support. But Iwas lucky. 

Lynda was ateacher and Ihad 

agood firm Iwas working for 

who encouraged me and liked 

the idea of me being on the 

council. 

‘‘It was areally good learning 

curve and it was so enjoyable 

and challenging.’’ 

After two terms on the Ashley 

County Council, the Meyers 

returned to Kaiapoi where Mr 

Meyer joined the family 

business at Williams Garage, 

now the Caltex service station. 

His fatherinlaw Ben 

Williams served three terms as 

Kaiapoi mayor. 

In the 1980s Mr Meyer joined 

the Kaiapoi High School board 

of governors before being 

elected on to the board of 

trustees and serving as board 

chairman. 

He was first elected to the 

Waimakariri District Council 

in 1995 and served two terms as 

Kaiapoi Community Board 

chairman before missing in 

2001 by just four votes. 

‘‘In those first two terms we 

had really good teams. We had 

some big challenges with the 

sewage system, growth and the 

roundabouts. 

‘‘The sewage system was 

corrected and sent out to sea 

rather than into the river, and 

the town was growing far faster 

than we thought it would.’’ 

In 2010 he was reelected to 

the council and has served on 

the local community board in 

all but three of the last 24 years. 

‘‘You can do little things as an 

individual, but, for the big 

things, working as ateam 

makes it far more achievable.’’ 

Given many councillors are 

juggling jobs or running 

businesses, Mr Meyer wonders 

whether there should be fewer 

councillors to make it afulltime 

role and more authority 

could be delegated to 

community boards. 

‘‘I think there’s some merit in 

it and Ithink it would be fairer. 

That will come up for 

discussion again in the review 

period and those questions will 

be asked in ademocratic way.’’ 

The Meyers have two adult 

children and four 

grandchildren. 

In his retirement, Mr Meyer 

plans to spend more time with 

his grandchildren, in his 

garden, working on his classic 

cars, and whitebaiting. 

He owns an MGB GT sports 

car, aRover P6B and a1964 

Rover P4. 

Long service ... John Meyer 

received aspecial trophy 

depicting his Rover P6B, in 

recognition for serving as 

chairman of the Waimakariri 

District Council’s road safety 

committee for the last nine years.

installed as acourtesy measure 

by the Waimakariri District 

Council to help reducetraffic

The local food redistribution group is

ChairwomanPhillipa Hunt says the

time,relying heavily on volunteers and 

community supporttoensure rescued 

food is redistributed where it is needed. 

‘‘We needaround four to five

and redistributingthe food.’’ 

The staff includescoordinatorStef 

van Meer, operations support Michelle 

Campbell and driver Helen Kelly, who

All three are employed just 10 hours a 

week each.

West Eyreton resident Wendy Morganis 

on amission. 

She is trying to traceher family tree, 

but is hamperedbythe factthat 

computers don’t comenaturally to her. 

In particular, she is lookingtofind out 

more about one ancestor, aman called 

William Wilson. 

His nickname was Cabbage, given— 

apparently—because of his preference 

for hatswoven from cabbage tree leaves. 

He was aprominentnurseryman and 

landowner in Christchurch,with one 

record showingacauliflower that was 

more thanthree feetincircumference 

and weighing 11lb –— just ashadeoff 5kg. 

He was also the first mayorof 

Christchurch and seemstohave been a 

powerfuland authoritative figure. 

He was apparently responsible for the 

central islandtree plantings on 

Fitzgeraldand Bealey avenues, and 

possibly the plantings on the banks of the 

Avon. 

Thesewere all implementedwhen he 

was subcommittee chairman responsible 

for thelandscaping of thoseareas, 

according to the website Papers Past. 

Unfortunately, his private lifewasn’t so 

Phillipa says Satisfy’s focusremains 

on better living and raisingawareness. 

‘‘We are trying to find away to engage 

the community and the focus is on waste 

reduction in the home.’’ 

She sayspeople regularly throwout 

food whichisstilledible. 

‘‘People get confused with the ‘best 

before date’, but it has more to do with 

freshness, so it’s all about using your 

senses,’’ Phillipasays. 

‘‘If the datewasn’t there, how would 

you tell?’’Stef adds. 

The fundraising eventoffers two 

ticketing options, either come at 9.30am

NEWS 


Young talent gets an opportunity to shine 

By DAVID HILL 

Established musicianDavidRea 

is impressed with the young 

talentWaimakariri has to offer. 

The former Rangiora High 

Schoolstudent was back in his 

home townlast Thursday evening 

to judge at WaiYouth’s 

CentreStage 6and performwith 

his band, ElectricTemples,inthe 

Rangiora Town Hall. 

‘‘It was avery hardcompetition 

to judge; theirtalent is so high,’’ 

David says. ‘‘I thinkthat halfof 

the vocalists, if they auditioned 

for JazzSchool(at Ara Institute of 

Canterbury) theywould get in. 

‘‘I’m glad that we were justa 

guest act.’’ 

The 24yearold is studying at 

the Christchurch Jazz school. He 

is working on his first solo album, 

Time,and is amember of the 

band The Preservatives,as well as 

Electric Temples. 

He was one of theoriginal 

members of youthevents group 

WaiYouth, in the days before 

Centrestage. 

The other judges were Emily 

Johnstone, aformerstudent of 

Rangiora High School and the 

Hartley School of Performing 

Arts, and Shannyn Miller, aJazz 

Schoolstudent who playselectric 

guitarfor Electric Temples. 

They had to choose between 

dancing and aerobics,aswell as 

vocalists and instrumentals 

performing anything from pop 

and rock to opera. 

Rangiora High School deputy 

head boy LachieJames began the 

entertainmentwith aduet with 

his sisterBrianna as aguest act, 

before returning for the final act. 

The winner’s cheque of $1000 

was presentedtoRangiora High 

School student Sophia Ambrose, 

aged 17, who performed 

Habanera from the French opera 

Carmen. 

‘‘I have been singing for as long 

as Ican remember.Iwatched the 

musical Tomorrow whenIwas 

five yearsold and Iwas really 

inspiredbythat.’’ 

Sophia is planing to study 

musicatthe University of 

Canterbury next year and 

performs avariety of music. 

‘‘I played punk rock on electric 

guitar in last year’s CentreStage.’’ 

Dancer Ataleya Dickie, aged 

15, astudent of Rangiora High 

School and the Jenna McKenzie 

School of Dance, wassecond for 

her original choreographed 

routine of the song BodyLove by 

Mary Lambert. 

‘‘I just finished learning it this 

morning. It’s asong about 

bullying against girls and 

accepting yourself, because true 

beauty comes from the inside.’’ 

Ataleya says she will put her 

$500 cheque towards attending a 

danceconvention in Auckland 

next year. 

Kaiapoi High School pupil 

Josh Keating, aged14, was third, 

afteralead malfunction on his 

guitar loop pedal put his 

performance in jeopardy. 

He returned after the 

intermission to blow the crowd 

away with The Eaglesclassic 

HotelCalifornia. 

‘‘I thoughtIhad lost it, but I 

came back out in my hoodie and 

Ijust went for it.’’ 

Winners are grinners ... Josh 

Keating, left, aged 14, Ataleya 

Dickie, 15, and Sophia Ambrose, 

17 took home the prizes at

‘We have to play our part’ 

By DAVID HILL 

New Environment 

Canterbury councillor 

GrantEdge expects the 

regional body’s ‘‘climate 

emergency’’ will remain 

in place for some time 

yet. 

He says climate 

change, biodiversity and 

waterissues are the most 

challenging issues facing 

the Canterbury region. 

‘‘Climatechangeisa 

huge issue acrossthe 

board. Whatare we going 

to do about climate 

change and all the 

implications it brings? 

‘‘It’s notonly aboutsealevelrise 

and lowlying 

areaswhichare 

vulnerable to flood,but 

changes to biodiversity 

and the effects on plants 

and animals. 

‘‘Theworld is saying 

‘letsget on with it 

because it’shappening 

already’, even in New 

Zealand. It’s aglobal 

issueand we havetoplay 

our part.’’ 

Mr Edgewas elected 

alongside sitting 

councillorClaireMcKay 

in the North Canterbury 

ward and is no stranger 

to water and biodiversity 

issues, having served10 

yearsonthe Waimakariri 

Zone Committee. 

‘‘It’sencouraging that 

peoplewith good 

experience,who havea 

wide breadth of 

knowledge and are able 

to ask questions and 

understand theanswers, 

have been elected on to 

the council. 

‘‘A number of them are 

scientists or have served 

on zone committeesor 

the regional committee, 

so we’vegot abit of a 

taste for what’s going on.’’ 

He says it is essential 

councillors bring awide 

range of skills, giventhe 

diversityofareas in 

which ECan is engaged, 

including air quality, 

biodiversityand 

biosecurity, freshwater 

management,hazards, 

risk and resilience, 

regional leadership and 

transport and urban 

development. 

‘‘It’sthe realisation 

that ECan coversacross 

the whole regionand 

you’remaking decisions 

that impact acrossthe 

whole area. 

‘‘In the campaign there 

was areal sense of alack 

of understanding about 

what ECanactually does, 

so there, perhaps, needs 

to be better 

communication.’’ 

He says ECan’s 

primary role is acting on 

New challenge ... Grant Edge is looking forward to 

playing arole in Canterbury’s future.

New mayor set 

for challenges 

By DAVID HILL 

Craig Mackle is looking 

forward to the challenge of 

being Kaikoura’s new mayor. 

Mr Mackle was due to be 

sworn in yesterday at the first 

meeting of the new council 

after winning the mayoralty 

by just 12 votes. 

He says he has spent the 

last two weeks ‘‘learning the 

ropes’’, attending 

school camp and 

‘‘looking at my 

calendar and 

thinking ‘oh my 

God’!’’. 

‘‘The earthquake 

recovery will be the 

main focus over the 

next few years, to 

finish what we’ve 

started and stepping 

forward to brighter and better 

things. 

‘‘The next 12 to 18 months 

will be pretty hectic as there’s 

still quite abit of work to do 

until we get back on alevel 

keel.’’ 

Mr Mackle says the new 

council will be heading away 

for aretreat next month to 

plan ahead for the next three 

years. It will be held at Mt 

Lyford. 

Three years ago the newly 

elected council was on a 

Craig Mackle 

planning retreat at St Arnaud 

in the Nelson region when the 

7.8magnitude earthquake 

struck on November 14, 2016. 

The councillors made a 

hasty retreat back toward 

Kaikoura, but soon found 

themselves cut off from the 

town until being rescued by 

helicopter. 

‘‘It definitely created abit 

of panic and upset,’’ Mr 

Mackle recalls. 

The new mayor 

has been actively 

involved in setting 

up acharitable trust 

to build anew 

community pool and 

the trust will now 

need to appoint a 

new trustee, as the 

mayor is 

automatically 

appointed to the trust. 

Mr Mackle says he has big 

shoes to fill, following the 

retirement of Winston Gray, 

who led the district for nine 

years, including in the 

immediate aftermath on the 

2016 earthquake. 

‘‘I’ve only spoken with 

Winston briefly, on the side of 

the road, as he’s avery busy 

man. 

‘‘I just hope Idon’t have the 

same challenges he’s had to 

deal with.’’ 

We have an early Christmas present for farmers! 

Get a FREE Logger upgradefor water consent meter,soil moisture 

and temperature monitoring equipment. 

Are you aware that ECan is focussing on Data Gaps for consent monitoring data and taking follow up action? This is 

where alogger has not captured data for aperiod of time and shows in the ECan records as aData Gap. If you are still 

using Aquacom monitoring units and the Aquacomnetwork you may be at risk of having Data Gaps. 

ECan have been communicating with data providers and farmers advising of data missing going back to 2018 (and in 

some cases 2017). This places additional and unnecessary stress on farmers and creates additional work for all of us. 

From our experience, most Data Gap issues are with the Aquacom units, so we’ve decided to solve this problem at the 

source by offering afree IoT logger in exchange for Aquacom units on properties throughout Canterbury. Farmers 

will get an improvement indata timelines, data reliability and eliminate additional expensive Aquacom repair costs. 

Not only will we replace your IoT logger, ifyou sign up before the end of November 2019, Watermetrics will waive 

your consent monitoring fees from now until the end of 2019 season. 

By choosing the free upgrade, you will receive monitoring technology that can add additional sensors to monitor a 

number of ‘things’. One such example is our soil moisture and soil temperature sensor. Wecan provide these at 

$1,850 each, (500mm probe) plus some installation costs, plus GST. 

And the best part? It’s an early Christmas gift -absolutely freeupgrade in exchange for your old Aquacom unit.

LOVE YOUR LAND

Transform 

your garden 

with anatural timber sauna 

For those seeking the ultimate in garden lifestyle, 

the answer canbefound at CanterburySaunas, says 

business owner Mark Smith. As he explains, aFinnish 

barrel sauna turns agarden into asanctuary of 

relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation. 

The barrels come from Finland and 

are made by apassionate family 

company, who live, breathe and 

sleep sauna, Mark says. They are 

handcrafted fromThermowood, a 

very slow-growing Nordic Spruce 

that has been heat-treated at205 

degrees celcius for two days. The 

timber is free of resin, durable, and 

not prone to warping, so is perfect 

for sauna. Thermowood is also 25 per 

cent more thermally efficient compared to 

cedar. 

“Similar-looking saunas are available elsewhere. 

However, at Canterbury Saunas we use 45mm-thick 

timber to ensure longevity and we offer many upgrade 

options, such aswindows and different lengths and 

widths. 

”People were taken aback at the recent Canterbury 

Home Show, at the quality of the ball-and-socket 

joinery and how many growth rings were on the timber 

walls –people kept coming up and stroking them,” 

Mark says. 

Unrivalled in size and options for customisation, 

Canterbury Saunas also exclusively offers 

the Huum heater range, from 4.5kw to 

18kw. The standard model holds 55kg 

of stones, which produces fabulous 

steam, and with an upgrade option 

the heater can be controlled 

remotely with asmart phone. 

For amore rustic feel, clients can 

also upgrade to atraditional woodburning 

heater, perfect for people in 

remote locations. 

Mark says sauna compares well to a 

conventional spa pool, without the need to 

run the heater constantly. Hehas used his St Albans 

sauna several times aweek for over ayear and has 

found that the electricity costs are about $2 asession. 

Virtually maintenance free, there are noslippery steps, 

filters tobechanged or harsh chemicals to add to the 

sauna –aquicksweep outand wipe down every few 

weeks issufficient. Oiling the outside of the timber 

once ayear is also recommended. 

Published studies from the University of Bristol, which 

used very large study groups over 20 years, have 

come back with some interesting findings, Mark says. 

Regular use ofFinnish-style saunas can reduce blood 

pressure and the chance ofstroke. It also benefits 

skin condition and eases breathing problems. Soft 

tissue aches and pains are also eased in the heat of 

sauna. Finally, the barrel shape and quiet environment 

combine to create afeeling of peace and sanctuary 

away from the hectic pace of life.

Ease aches and pains away with a Scandinavian 

designed and crafted barrel sauna, the hot

1. Saunas only use power when in use. 

2. Saunas aren’t noisy. 

3. Easier to keep clean with no need for chemicals. 

4. Enjoyable in any weather, cocooned from

5. Safer – no slippery steps, level floor, and easy to get

6. Lower maintenance because there’s only one

Wonderful wheels ... Malcolm Fraser and his wife, Joanne, enjoy getting out and 

about in Audrey. 

Audrey loves to cruise the 

highways and byways 


Rangiora’s Malcolm Fraser loves 

cruising in Audrey. 

He bought the 1965 Ford 

Thunderbird, which sports a 

stunning Cherry Bomb Amethyst 

paint job, about 12 months ago. He 

was drawn by its spaciousness. 

He had previously owned two, twoseater 

Corvettes. But now there is 

room for his wife, Joanne, and the 

grandchildren 

Malcolm will be lining up with 

Audrey at the USA Day at Woodend 

on Sunday, November 3. 

He bought the ‘‘old cruisey’’ lefthanddrive, 

390cubicinch V8 from 

Tauranga. 

‘‘She came in from California, was 

cream, and was pretty much original. 

‘‘She is not completely finished 

being restored —nocar ever is,’’ 

Malcolm says. 

He tries to take her for atrip every 

weekend. ‘‘She floats along. Ilove 

driving her.’’ 

Joanne, on the other hand, has no 

intention of getting behind the wheel 

and mastering lefthand drive. ‘‘It’s 

his sport,’’ she says. 

They both helped name Audrey. 

Joanne had put a‘‘Laundry’’ sign 

up in their new laundry, but the land 

the nfailed to stick. 

Hence her name Audrey, which 

can be seen on the Thunderbird’s 

back window. 

He is considering airbrushing 

Audrey on to the boot, in honour of 

the late actress Audrey Hepburn. 

Americana .... Malcolm Fraser’s Ford Thunderbird looks American from top to 

bottom.

Tony marvels at the digital revolution 

By GINA MCKENZIE 

WhenTony Benny startedhis 

journalism careerinrural 

Timaru in the 1970s,hehanded

the local bus drivertotakethem 

to the mainnewspaper office. 

Today, he usescuttingedge 

technologytoexpand his video 

production and communications 

businessbased at Coopers 

Creek,nearOxford. 

‘‘Itseemsfunnylooking back 

and remembering hurrying to 

get my copyand photos to the 

bus driverbefore he headed off 

to Timaru to drop it off at the 

Herald.’’ 

TonystartedUpside Down 

Productions in 1998while still 

workingfor CountryCalendar. 

He credits advances in 

technology, including camera 

equipment, theinternet andnew 

devices such as drones with 

enabling himtooperate a 

nationwide business from atiny 

Canterbury village. 

‘‘Itwas agradual process as I 

startedbuying equipment and 

gainingclients, butwithout 

advances in technology I 

definitely wouldn’tbewhere I 

am today. 

‘‘It’samazing thatIcan sitin 

my home officeand upload

minutes now, when Ithink about 

how it used to be. 

‘‘Everything has become 

smaller and moreaffordable 

overthe last30years. Being able 

to capture drone footageadds a

Tony saysmanyadvances have 

been madesince theearly1970s 

when teleprinterswereusedin 

newsrooms acrossNew Zealand. 

Themachinesprinted outnews 

from agenciesand therewould 

be along trail of computer paper 

snaking throughthe studioeach 

morning ready to be cutinto 

separatepagesized sections. 

‘‘Iremember we had one guy 

in the TVNZnewsroom in 

Dunedin whose solejob was 

lookingafterthe teleprinter. 

‘‘It was something of acrisis 

when Iwas asub editor at the 

OtagoDaily Times if the 

teleprintersbrokedown —a 

manfromthe PostOffice would 

be called in at anytime of day or 

night to get them goingagain.’’ 

When Tony workedfor TVNZ 

in Wellington during the 1980s, 

thefax machine wasviewedasa 

great step forwardfrom 

teleprinters. 

‘‘To be abletotype something 

andthenfeeditinto afax forit 

to be printed off in someother 

office seemed remarkable then.’’ 

Tony laughs when comparing 

teleprintersand faxes to the 

technology used by his new 

drone.‘‘I got aphone callthe 

otherday when Iwas out getting 

some footage. We chattedfor a 

fewminutesthenIsaid, ‘I’llhave

Milking efficiency helpstoattractand 

retainstaff through better labour 

management. 

When long workinghours onfarm 

becomethe norm,stress, fatigue,and 

resentment can start to dominatedaily 

routines. 

Often,sharemilkersorstaff will move 

on to another farm where the worklife 

balance is better. 

On most dairy farms, milkingaccounts 

for more than 50 percent of staffhours, 

so it makes sense to target that areafor 

efficiency, as savings can significantly 

reducetotal hours worked. 

That’swhy consultantJosh Wheeler, a 

recognisedMilksmartexpertfrom 

quality management systems provider 

QCONZ,has beencontracted by 

DairyNZ to work directly with farmer 

discussiongroups and provide 

Milksmart workshops for rural 

professionals. 

His aim is to helpfarmers understand 

the valueofDairyNZ’s Milksmart 

efficiency programmeand other similar 

approaches, suchasDairyNZ’s MaxT 

milking strategy. 

With MaxT, cowsare milked to a 

maximum time —one that will shorten 

milking duration for up to the slowest 20 

percent of cows. 

‘‘Any dairy farmers who can provide 

betterworking hours for themselves and 

their team are morelikely to attract and 

retainstaff,’’ Mr Wheeler says. 

‘‘Demand is outstripping the supply of 

suitable people for onfarmroles,partly 

because unemployment across the 

country is only 4%. 

breeding strategy.’’ 

The herd’spedigree 

HolsteinFriesians are 

registered under Belbrook 

Holsteins. 

It is the leading herd in New 

Zealand for having the highest 

number of excellent cows (120), 

according to Holstein 

International magazine. 

Robbie’s longterm goal is for 

one of his bovine beauties to be 

named supreme champion 

dairy cow at theNew Zealand 

Agricultural Show. 

The Wakelins are taking 

eight cowsand fourheifers to 

nextmonth’s show. 

His love of showing began in 

primary school, when his late 

father Trevor Wakelin boughta 

cow named Cresslands 

Ambition Dalia EX4. 

‘‘ShowingDalia’sfirst calf 

ignited my passionfor cows 

and the Holstein Friesian 

breed in particular,’’ he says. 

Robbie doesn’tjust show 

cattle; he is also atrained 

judge. He became an associate 

judge in 2008, when he was 16. 

He has judged at several 

shows, onfarm competitions 

and club competitions. 

‘‘Onfarmswheremilkingtimes are 

morethan threehours, staffare waking 

before 4am to go and get the cows,’’ he 

says. 

‘‘That’shard on the body,gettingupat 

thattime. 

‘‘So, if theycan become more efficient 

at milking and startcloser to 5am, 

everyone can get abit more time in bed. 

‘‘That’sone of the main‘buyins’ for 

manyfarmersand their staff. 

‘‘Implementing MaxT’s milking 

strategy has been showntobethe most 

efficient way to milk cows. 

‘‘I’ve found that, onfarm, MaxT 

provides benefits that are not only good 

for people, but also for cow health and 

the business’s bottomline.’’ 

Mr Wheeler has worked withplentyof 

farmers using Milksmart and MaxT who 

havesaved one to two hours per milking 

—that’stwo to four hours aday if 

milking twice daily. 

The teamcan also plan around 

milking with more accuracy, thanks to 

moreconsistent finishing times. 

‘‘Farmers talk about ‘labour saving’, 

but they’re not looking to cut back on 

labour. 

‘‘It’s aboutredirecting it, so theydon’t 

needtoadd extra time on to the day to 

get other jobs done. 

‘‘Italso frees up more timefor better 

decisionmakingand for family, 

community and other nonwork 

activities.’’

DAIRY FARMING IN NORTH CANTERBURY 


Cows sure to look their best at show 

By DAVID HILL 

The Sherriff familyisbusy 

transitioning cows from 

grass to dry feed, as the 

New Zealand Agricultural 

Show approaches. 

The North Canterbury 

dairy farmers have won 

supremechampiondairy 

cow at the Christchurch 

show for the last three 

years and have ateam of 

seven cowsintraining for 

this year’sshow. 

Olivia Cahill farms with 

her husband Jared and 

father Peter Sherriff at 

Ohoka, near Rangiora, and 

is in charge of preparing 

the team of cowsfor the 

show, being heldat 

CanterburyAgricultural 

Park in midNovember. 

‘‘We start about fourto 

five weeks out, by bringing 

them off the grass and 

puttingthem in the shed, 

feedingthem hay, putting 

them on the halter and 

then returningthem to 

grass. 

‘‘A weekout from the 

show they are just on dry 

feed, replicating what they 

will get at the show.’’ 

Olivia saysthe pens at 

the show are prepared over 

the weekend,‘‘so by the 

time we bringthe cowsin 

on Mondaythey can just 

walk in, sit down and 

relax’’. 

The cowswill stick to 

their normal schedule of 

morningand evening 

milkings duringshow 

week, except on Thursday, 

which is judging day. 

‘‘We get them full of milk 

on Thursday.Wewill work 

out how much milk to keep 

on them so the judge can 

look at how they holdtheir 

milk up,’’ she says. 

‘‘It’sabouttaking what 

you’vebred and showing 

them off and hopefully 

doing well.’’ 

Peter says showing cattle 

is about production 

attributes, rather than ‘‘a 

beautycontest’’. 

Their twotimesupreme 

champion cow, 7yearold 

Maria,was recently tested 

with 48 litresofmilk. 

‘‘Mostfarmers would be 

happy if theircows were 

producing 20 litres and it 

doesn’t costtwice as much 

to feedher and you don’t 

need to get her in calftwice 

as oftentoget that48 

litres.’’ 

The Sherrainestud cows 

weigh in at around600kg 

each, considered ‘‘too big’’ 

by New Zealand standards; 

and American genetics are 

used in their breeding, 

which means the 

Sherraine herd has apoor 

‘‘breed worth’’ratingwith 

Livestock Improvement 

Corporation (LIC). 

‘‘We have aminus187 

‘breedworth’, whichis 

considered oneofthe 

poorest herdsinNew 

Zealand,’’ Peter says. 

‘‘But how many cows 

Top producers ... Father and daughter team Peter Sherriff and Olivia Cahill are expecting

have produced more than 

45,000litres of milk in their 

lifetime?’’ 

Carra,now 11, who won 

supreme champion in 2016, 

has producedmore than 

60,000litres and was the 

only entrant in the 

45,000plus litresclass at 

last year’s show. This year 

Carra will be joinedby 

Maria in the 45,000plus 

litresclass, Olivia says. 

‘‘Environmental issues 

are the big thing going 

forward and theseare the 

New Zealandcowsofthe 

future.’’ 

The next big thing ... Olivia Cahill checks on 5yearold 

cow Lucy, who she hopes will enjoy some success at the

rapid can result in excessive nitrogen 

being lost into soil and waterways, causing 

significant pollution and other negative 

environmental impacts. 

‘‘When nitrogen is lost,farmers must 

apply more fertiliser to achieve desired 

results, which increases farming costs.’’ 

The team will initially focus on 

understanding the science of the new 

polyester nanocoatingand its 

biodegradation.

Therewill be aEuropean 

flavour in the alpaca sectionat 

the New Zealand Agricultural 

Show. 

Germanborn alpaca judge 

RobinNasemann has been 

lineduptojudge at this year’s 

show,says Anne Rogers, who is 

convenor of the cattle and 

alpaca committee. 

‘‘We’re thrilled to haveRobin 

and it shouldcreate plenty of 

interest in the alpaca section,’’ 

says Mrs Rogers,who is an 

alpaca breeder at Okuku, near 

Rangiora. 

Mr Nasemann was bornin 

Germany,went to school in 

England and studied for a 

masters degree in economics in 

Switzerland. 

His family startedbreeding 

alpacas in 2003and now has a 

herd of 100 alpacasinwest 

Germany. 

He began judgingin2010 and 

has judgedatalpaca shows 

throughoutEuropeand North 

America. 

Mr Nasemann also holds 

seminars about alpacasacross 

Europe. 

Mrs Rogerssaysalpaca 

entries are up slightly on last 

year, withjudging due to take 

place on the Thursday and 

Fridayofthe show. 

Having thealpacas located 

close to the cattle ring makes 

the jobofconvening both 

sections easier, she says. 

‘‘Most of my time will be with 

the alpacas, but Idorove over 

to the otherside throughoutthe 

three days. 

‘‘Wemoved the alpacas to a 

new area last year,whichhas 

worked reallywell. 

‘‘I love the new area; it’s on a 

diagonal, so we back on to the 

cattle arena. 

‘‘It’s areallynice area.’’ 

Taste Hurunui at this Saturday’s Amberley A&P show is 

aimed at showing visitors how to cook interesting meals 

using New Zealand lamb. 

Local chefs will cook Hurunui spring lamb, and some of 

the dishes and local wines will be available for the public 

to sample. 

The Butcher’s Mistress in Rangiora will also have this 

lamb available to buy. 

There will also be an auction of beef ribeye and lamb 

legs, and Simo from Pukeko Junction Cafe will be cooking 

beef, as well as lamb, for tasting.

Nerves expected for 

Cup Day race call 


Next month’s New Zealand Trotting Cup 

Day at Addington Raceway will be a 

nervoustime for Canterbury’s new race 

caller, Matthew Cross. 

The young commentator, who grew up 

in Kaiapoi and went to school there, took 

over from Mark McNamara as race 

caller for the Canterbury region last 

August. 

He was aguest speaker at the 

Rangiora Harness Racing Club’s annual 

generalmeetingthis month. 

Matthew, aged 26, said he was looking 

forwardtocalling the $750,000 race on 

Tuesday, November 12. 

It was something he had longed to do 

since he was ateen watching Reon 

Murtha calling races at Addington. 

‘‘Everyone else was watching the races 

but Iwas watching Reon up in the 

commentary box,’’ he said. 

‘‘I knew then that was what Iwanted to 

do when Iwas old enough. 

HARNESS RACING 

‘‘I am very fortunate to be doing what 

Iamdoing now.’’ 

However, he is sure there will be 

butterflies before the big race on Cup 

Day. 

‘‘It will be an incredible honour to call 

such aprestigious race. 

‘‘Everyday Ithink about it.’’ 

After leaving school, Matt became a 

junior driver working for Cran Dalgety 

at West Melton for two years. 

He also worked for Mark Jones at 

Burnham andWoodendBeach trainers 

David and Catherine Butt before 

accepting acadetship with the New 

Zealand Racing Board as understudy to 

Mark McNamara and Trackside 

television presenter Greg O’Connor. 

He did his first race commentaries at 

the Rangiora Harness Racing Club’s 

meetingonJune 29, 2014,calling two
