homestead,<br />

considered one of the finest<br />

period houses in the South<br />

Island, took nine months,<br />

with the servants’ quarters<br />

at the back removed and the<br />

gardens and grounds turned<br />

into apark­like setting.<br />

Today, the home has five<br />

ensuite bedrooms and large<br />

interconnecting living and<br />

entertainment areas<br />

opening on to the garden.<br />

Part of the woolshed,<br />

which is more than 125 years<br />

old, was refurbished from a<br />

working woolshed into an<br />

events centre.<br />

Next to the woolshed, an<br />

original stables and shed<br />

complex has been converted<br />

into agallery, office or<br />

boardroom, as well as a<br />

small cottage, retaining all<br />

its original character.<br />

Kate Blundell, the<br />

director of Collective<br />

Concepts, will continue to<br />

market and manage the<br />

Tipapa enterprise.<br />

‘‘It is aspecial property<br />

and there are alot more<br />

opportunities for it than just<br />

weddings,’’ she says.<br />

Expansion of the<br />

accommodation, offering<br />

facilities for small board<br />

meetings, and corporate<br />

events are just some of the<br />

things being explored.<br />

‘‘The way John speaks<br />

about the venue<br />

encapsulates the way he has<br />

restored the history. He has<br />

done such an incredible<br />

job,’’ Kate says.<br />

John says Kate’s<br />

experience has been an<br />

‘‘integral part to the whole’’.<br />

‘‘It’s athree­part deal.<br />

Despitethe constraints on<br />

its expansion, Kaiapoi hasa<br />

Stu’scan-do attitude<br />

<br />

By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />

StuReed has athingforbeer<br />

cans.<br />

He seeksthemoutfarand<br />

wide,andreckons he probably<br />

has the biggest collection in the<br />

country.<br />

His 20­metre by 12­metre<br />

shed in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> has<br />

an array of cans carefully<br />

shelved by country, brewery,<br />

and series.<br />

They are also fast taking over<br />

the shed next door, and the rest<br />

sit in cartons waiting to be<br />

added. Heisuptoabout<br />

100,000, he says.<br />

And every singlecan is<br />

different.<br />

He alsohas whatisprobably<br />

thecountry’s largest collection<br />

of Guinness products and<br />

memorabilia,allgatheredin<br />

hispoolden.And he doesn’t<br />

even drink Guinness.<br />

‘‘Istarted collecting cans in<br />

my teens,’’heexplains. ‘‘Iwas<br />

illicitly havingafew DB<br />

Bitters, when Ifound onecan<br />

wasonlyhalf full. Iput it onthe<br />

windowsill, and before Iknew<br />

it,Iwas adding others.<br />

‘‘These days,Ibelong to<br />

clubs in New Zealand,<br />

Australia and the US. Idon’t<br />

buymuchonline, because it’s<br />

all about the thrill of the chase<br />

—completingaset orfinding<br />

something I’m missing —soI<br />

trade, swap and sell at club<br />

meetings. And every couple of<br />

years, I’llgotothe US meeting.<br />

Theirony of it allis that Stu<br />

Pressure paid off<br />

Our community kept up the pressure for<br />

after­hours health provision and the<br />

announcement we’re getting asevenday,<br />

integrated family health service to<br />

provide after­hours healthcare in the<br />

Waimakariri is agreat win.<br />

Many areas would have given up, I’m<br />

sure.<br />

From the beginning, with campaigners<br />

like Paula Thackwell, right up to my<br />

public meeting this year where Sandi<br />

and David McLean and Ipresented our<br />

community’s petition to the <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

District Health Board (CDHB), we have<br />

stood together on this issue.<br />

There has been some hard work and<br />

important milestones we’ve crossed<br />

along the way.<br />

We had our first win at my public<br />

meeting in 2016 when the CDHB<br />

announced it would start working with<br />

our community stakeholders to look at<br />

expanding after­hours provision and<br />

what that would look like.<br />

As local MP, Isee my role as fighting<br />

for infrastructure solutions to match our<br />

growth. We have increasing numbers of<br />

young families moving into our area and<br />

agrowing population of seniors choosing<br />

to make their home in Waimakariri.<br />

It makes sense we would be eligible<br />

for after­hours health provision closer to<br />

where we live.<br />

No surprise, then, that more than<br />

10,500 residents put their names on our<br />

petition. We look forward to the new<br />

facility opening in 2020/21.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> residents packed<br />

Loo feedback<br />

Residents are being asked<br />

about their preferred location<br />

for new toilets to finish off the<br />

Tirikatene Reserve in<br />

Silverstream, Kaiapoi.<br />

Three locations have been<br />

identified for toilet facilities<br />

beside the reserve. The<br />

Waimakariri District Council<br />

wants to know which one will<br />

work best for the community.<br />

Feedback will go to the<br />

Kaiapoi Tuahiwi Community<br />

Board for afinal decision.<br />

To learn more, visit<br />

waimakariri.govt.nz/have­asay/lets­talk<br />

the Oxford Town Hall for my Water and<br />

Rural Issues public meeting with<br />

National’s agriculture spokesperson<br />

and Bay of Plenty MP Todd Muller.<br />

Our rural sector is resilient and has<br />

proved more than capable of adapting to<br />

new technologies, but we need to ensure<br />

they get the right tools and support as<br />

they navigate the Government’s complex<br />

proposals to meet new freshwater and<br />

climate­change targets.<br />

We need sustainable rural<br />

communities and better environmental<br />

outcomes, and Todd told the audience<br />

that, with the right support, our rural<br />

sector can produce both.<br />

Accurate, on­farm data to manage<br />

emissions is going to be essential and we<br />

support acomprehensive roll­out of<br />

farm plans across the sector.<br />

Around 60 percent of New Zealand’s<br />

exports come from agriculture and we<br />

know from experience that when our<br />

farmers do well, we do well.<br />

It was aday for country to come to<br />

town at the Rangiora A&P Show and we<br />

had aperfect <strong>Canterbury</strong> day for it.<br />

Ienjoy catching up with everyone at<br />

the show with my wife and children.<br />

Well done to the organisers for another<br />

well­run event.<br />

My over­60s coffee mornings have<br />

come to an end for this year. Isent an<br />

invitation to every resident in the<br />

electorate over the age of 60 to come and<br />

enjoy acuppa and achat with me on<br />

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor<br />

Help from police much appreciated<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

Recently, Ihave had dealings<br />

with the police. One was the<br />

theft of my security light bulbs.<br />

(Yes, hard to believe as they<br />

were working and would have<br />

been warm).<br />

They were stolen right from<br />

outside my front door.<br />

My son reported it and the<br />

next day ayoung policewoman<br />

and policeman appeared at my<br />

door. It was aSunday.<br />

They were so nice and<br />

courteous to me. They looked<br />

all around my house. Idid not<br />

expect much as they were only<br />

$20 to replace.<br />

The next time my computer<br />

on my car malfunctioned on a<br />

roundabout, so you can imagine<br />

the build­up of traffic behind<br />

me.<br />

Luckily, apolice car was<br />

coming down the road. Iwaved<br />

and and he did au­turn to come<br />

to my aid.<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The Rangiora Lionesses are offering<br />

hope in ahandbag.<br />

More than 250 items, including<br />

handbags and toiletries,were delivered<br />

to Compass FM on Friday to pass on to<br />

those in need as part of the Handbags for<br />

Hope appeal.<br />

Rangiora Lionesses secretary Rachel<br />

Bloomfield says the items are what a<br />

woman would needwhen staying away<br />

from home and are passed on to<br />

organisations such as Aviva (women’s<br />

refuge), the Salvation Army and the<br />

OxfordCommunity Trust.<br />

The group has been supporting<br />

Compass FM in the project for around 12<br />

months.<br />

Compass FM content managerSteph<br />

McDonald says backpacks for men and<br />

schoolbags with goodies for children are<br />

also collected.<br />

‘‘We gave some school bags out awhile<br />

ago after afamily lost pretty much<br />

everything in ahouse fire in arental, so<br />

the children had something to taketo<br />

dad’s for the weekend.’’<br />

She saysthe handbags make abig<br />

difference to people going through a<br />

difficult time.<br />

The Rangiora Lionesses group has<br />

been going for 34 years. It has more than<br />

30 members and is one of only five<br />

Lionesses groups still active in the South<br />

Island.<br />

Threefundraising raffles are held each<br />

year for mother’s day, father’sday and<br />

Christmas, as well as quiz nights,selling<br />

cheese rolls and booksales, Rachel says.<br />

‘‘We try to get involved in local<br />

community projects.<br />

‘‘We have 12 main groups that we<br />

contributeto, but we wanttobemore<br />

hands­on with peopleand to helppeople<br />

in need.’’<br />

Fundsare put aside for youth projects,<br />

with the Lionesses making an annual<br />

donation to RangioraHigh School to<br />

assist those struggling to affordschool<br />

shoes, and alocal student was recently<br />

supported to go on the Spirit of Adventure.<br />

The group meets at the Rangiora RSA<br />

every second Wednesday of the month for<br />

ameal and aguestspeaker.<br />

It hosts acraft meetingevery Monday<br />

and has regular social lunches.<br />

‘‘We need some younger members. We<br />

are women only, but all women are<br />

welcome and it’s agreat way to meet new<br />

people,’’Rachel says.<br />

‘‘It’s hard to get new people, because<br />

most people are working and they are<br />

working for longer.’’<br />

Kazuma aces<br />

top regional<br />

sports award<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Kazuma Kobori was just seven<br />

years old when he joined the<br />

Rangiora Golf Club and set his<br />

sights on becoming an<br />

accomplished golfer.<br />

Adecade later, he has astring<br />

of successes to show for his<br />

hours of practice and<br />

dedication to the sport.<br />

The talented teenage golfer<br />

was named the MainPower <strong>2019</strong><br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Supreme<br />

Sport Award winner at a<br />

ceremony in Ohoka last Friday<br />

evening.<br />

The 18th annual awards,<br />

hosted by the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Sports Trust and led by master<br />

of ceremonies Jendy Harper,<br />

celebrated the region’s best<br />

sporting talent.<br />

Kazuma was unable to be on<br />

hand to accept the Supreme<br />

Award as he was playing in a<br />

tournament in Auckland, but<br />

spoke via video of being<br />

honoured to be named the<br />

winner.<br />

He said, to date, the highlight<br />

of his chosen career was<br />

winning the New Zealand<br />

Professional Golfers<br />

Association (NZ PGA)<br />

Championship at Pegasus<br />

earlier this year.<br />

The Rangiora High School<br />

17­year­old, who caddied for<br />

himself at the tournament, won<br />

by four shots with a21­under<br />

267 tournament total, winning<br />

the Sir Bob Charles Trophy as<br />

the leading New Zealand<br />

player, but not the winner’s<br />

purse of $125,000 because of his<br />

amateur status.<br />

Kazumo stressed the support<br />

from the Rangiora Golf Club<br />

and Pegasus Golf &Sports Club<br />

as being integral to his success.<br />

Kazuma had earlier taken out<br />

the N.F. Preen Contracting<br />

Sportsman award.<br />

The awards evening<br />

trialling, sailing,<br />

mountainbiking, croquet and<br />

Dan ponders some<br />

new mayoral wheels<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon had his<br />

eye on aclassy line­up of Mustangs in<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> last Sunday.<br />

The mayor, who is aself­confessed<br />

petrolhead from way back, attends the<br />

American Classic Car Club’s annual<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> USA Day every year, but was<br />

an invited guest at this year’s event, held<br />

last Sunday at Woodend’s Gladstone<br />

Park.<br />

‘‘I’ve been abig car fan ever since I<br />

was asmall boy,’’ he said. ‘‘I love the<br />

Mustangs.’’<br />

He joked that aMustang would make a<br />

fine mayoral car, before quickly adding<br />

that no money was budgeted for one, so<br />

it would have to be apersonal purchase.<br />

Dan also admired asix­seater, eightcylinder<br />

convertible 1934 Buick 68C<br />

owned by Owen Frew, of Fernside.<br />

The gleaming, immaculately<br />

presented Buick won the Best in Show<br />

award at the event.<br />

Dan thought it would also make a<br />

LOST AND FOUND<br />

The following property has been<br />

reported as lost to the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>police. Have you seen it?<br />

classy mayoral car.<br />

The Buick is one of only five still<br />

registered worldwide.<br />

The annual show was held in hot,<br />

sunny weather with alarge crowd,<br />

thought to be arecord, turning out for<br />

the event.<br />

The day focuses on American­made<br />

vehicles, cars, pick­up trucks and<br />

motorbikes.<br />

The family­oriented day drew about<br />

650 vehicles, ranging from the 1920s to<br />

present­day models.<br />

There was also live music by Sign of<br />

the Firebird.<br />

It was the club’s 28th anniversary and,<br />

to celebrate, members decided to raise<br />

money on the day for the Ronald<br />

McDonald House charity.<br />

Club treasurer Jimmi Anderson said<br />

on Monday it was too early to confirm the<br />

exact amount the club would raise, but<br />

the gate tally had been bigger than usual<br />

and they were hoping to be able to<br />

donate $4000 or more.<br />

Kahikatea forest<br />

to be established<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Kahikatea trees have beenplanted<br />

upstream of the Kate Pond wetland in<br />

Tiromoana Bush, in the first stage of<br />

establishing akahikatea forest.<br />

It is part of theambitious restoration<br />

project beingundertaken by Transwaste<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> ,which owns TiromoanaBush<br />

and the adjoining landfill in Kate Valley.<br />

Transwastechairwoman Gill Cox says<br />

annual treeplanting is akey part of<br />

restoringthe native foreststotheiroriginal<br />

condition.<br />

‘‘While we’ve fenced Tiromoana Bush to<br />

keep out pests such as deer and goats who<br />

were damaging the existingnative bush,<br />

we’vealso hadtohelp alongthe<br />

regeneration processwith annualtreeplanting,’’<br />

he says.<br />

‘‘Since therestoration project beganin<br />

2004,we’ve planted thousands of native<br />

treestokick­startnatural regeneration.<br />

‘‘As many of the plantings are now<br />

producing theirown seedlings, it looks as<br />

though we’ve beensuccessful.’’<br />

Kahikatea were first plantednear Kate<br />

Pond morethan 10 years ago.They are now<br />

4to5metrestall.<br />

Dr David Norton, aprofessorfrom the<br />

University of <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s Te Kura<br />

Ngahere, SchoolofForestry, says the<br />

successfulplanting has led to afocus on<br />

creating akahikatea forestand wetland<br />

around Kate Pond.<br />

Dr Norton, who wrotethe Tiromoana<br />

Bush RestorationManagement Plan in 2004<br />

and provides ongoing advice to<br />

Transwasteonthe bush restoration<br />

project, says the aim is to establish amixed<br />

kahikatea forest­wetlandsystem,restoring<br />

aregionallyrare habitat for arangeof<br />

native fauna.<br />

‘‘We assume birds including kereruand<br />

korimako help disperse planted species<br />

‘‘Therefore it’s important to ensure trees<br />

provide sufficientfood resources to<br />

sustain these species.<br />

‘‘This meansplantingngaio, totara,<br />

karamu and other speciesfor fruit on the<br />

valley slopes, while on the valley floor<br />

adjacent to Kate Pond we are plantingflax/<br />

harakekeand manuka for nectar,and<br />

kahikatea,cabbage tree/ti koukaand other<br />

appropriate species for fruit.’’<br />

Plantingisusually scheduled for latewinter/spring<br />

afterthe worst of the frosts<br />

and to takeadvantage of soilmoisture<br />

beingatapeak.<br />

Dr Nortonsays preparation is essential.<br />

‘‘Thevalley floor was usedfor grazing, so<br />

it’s covered withpasture grasses,<br />

especially cocksfoot. These grasses have to<br />

be sprayedwith herbicides prior to<br />

planting.<br />

‘‘We plant eachtree by hand,usually<br />

spaced 1m to 1.5m apart. Fertilisertabs<br />

are placed in planting holes and water<br />

retentioncrystals are usedatsites likely to<br />

dry out in summer.’’<br />

Post­plantingmaintenance involves<br />

herbicide application or hand weeding.<br />

More than1000 more kahikateatrees,<br />

alongwith other appropriate species,will<br />

be planted in latewinter/early spring of<br />

2020 on the valleyfloor by Kate Pond to<br />

week after completingtheirlevel 3retail<br />

Artistic touch for mayor’soffice<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Art is adorning Dan Gordon’s office,<br />

thanks to the Waimakariri Art<br />

Collection Trust.<br />

The new Waimakariri mayor has<br />

decorated the mayoral office with<br />

artworks on loan from the trust.<br />

‘‘I will collect some of my own over<br />

time, but it’s nice to have these artworks<br />

which are generously on loan from the<br />

trust.’’<br />

Mr Gordon says his personal favourite<br />

is apainting of the Waimakariri<br />

landscape by former Waikuku artist<br />

John Coley.<br />

He has long had apersonal interest in<br />

art, having studied art and art history at<br />

school, including doing oil painting.<br />

He continued with his interest in art<br />

history while studying at the University<br />

of <strong>Canterbury</strong>, and this interest has seen<br />

him work to ‘‘see the arts supported<br />

more in the district’’.<br />

Over the years he has helped to<br />

establish the Kaiapoi Art Expo and the<br />

Oxford Art Gallery.<br />

‘‘The Kaiapoi Art Expo was only<br />

supposed to last for acouple of years,<br />

but now it’s one of the major dates in the<br />

arts calendar.<br />

Art appreciation ... Waimakariri Mayor<br />

Dan Gordon admires alandscape of the<br />

Waimakariri district by former Waikuku<br />

artist John Coley, which now adorns his<br />

office.<br />

‘‘And we are so lucky in this district<br />

that we have so many events that allow<br />

people to appreciate art and to buy<br />

artworks at an affordable level.’’<br />

Perfectly preened<br />

gardens adelight<br />

Aweekend of fantastic weather played<br />

its part in attracting record crowds to<br />

the annual Hurunui Garden Festival.<br />

Twenty­three gardens from Amberley<br />

to Hanmer Springs, and Hawarden to<br />

Gore Bay, opened for the three­day<br />

garden festival from <strong>November</strong> 1to3.<br />

Early indications are visitor numbers<br />

were up on last year, with Saturday a<br />

particularly busy day for many gardens.<br />

Events held in gardens proved<br />

extremely popular with visitors. More<br />

than 200 people visited Waihui on<br />

Saturday to enjoy the band Alpine<br />

Echoes and adisplay of classic Jags from<br />

the Christchurch Drivers’ Club.<br />

The two special tours arranged for<br />

<strong>2019</strong>, the Woodchester Walls and<br />

Waterfalls bus tour and the Hidden Gems<br />

in the Lowry Hills self­drive tour were<br />

both popular, with some people doing<br />

both tours over the weekend.<br />

The Hidden Gems tour was an<br />

adventure, with an hour­long drive over<br />

the range from Lou and Tim Davison’s<br />

Wynyard, inland from Culverden, to<br />

Debbie and Stuart Anderson’s Black<br />

Rock gardens, nestled in the Kaiwara<br />

Valley.<br />

Drivers were treated to spectacular<br />

views, and some interesting gradients,<br />

streams and farm gates to open and shut.<br />

On arrival lunch was served, with<br />

visitors seated in the shady spots in the<br />

garden. After awander around the<br />

garden, the tour moved on to<br />

Ribbonwood Country House, north over<br />

the Waiau River valley toward Mt<br />

Parnassus and the Seaward Kaikouras<br />

to wind up the day.<br />

Acting festival chairwoman Meg<br />

Macfarlane says there is no doubt the<br />

spectacular weather encouraged people<br />

to venture out over the weekend.<br />

‘‘Visitors weren’t even deterred by the<br />

heat on Sunday, though garden seats<br />

strategically placed in the shade were<br />

very popular.’’<br />

As well as the many events,<br />

exhibitions and stalls in gardens, Meg<br />

says feedback from visitors was<br />

unanimous about how much they valued<br />

meeting the garden owners.<br />

‘‘While visitors enjoyed each garden<br />

for its individuality and diversity, they<br />

loved meeting us,’’ Meg says.<br />

‘‘It seems we’re fast becoming the<br />

‘friendly garden tour’, which is<br />

tremendously rewarding for us since it’s<br />

what we set out to do —tocreate an<br />

event that really made visitors feel<br />

welcomed to the district. It’s great to<br />

know we’re succeeding.’’<br />

Planning for next year’s event begins<br />

later this month, when the date for 2020<br />

will be set.<br />

HAY, BALEAGE, SILAGE<br />

32 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>November</strong> 7, <strong>2019</strong><br />

Spring sun and rain the perfect recipe<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> farmers are<br />

cautiously optimistic about<br />

theseason ahead.<br />

Plenty of springrainand hot,<br />

sunnylate­springweather<br />

means farmersare setupfor a<br />

good season,with many<br />

beginningtomake some hay,<br />

baleageand silage whilethe<br />

sunshines, Federated<br />

Farmers arablechairman<br />

RoscoeTaggart says.<br />

‘‘At themoment it feels like<br />

we are setupfairly well. Last<br />

year we had alot of dreary<br />

days in the spring andthena<br />

drysummer, but so far this<br />

seasonwe’vehad good<br />

amounts of rainand plenty of<br />

suninbetween.’’<br />

TheCust farmersaidhewas<br />

unfazed by hot temperatures<br />

of 30­plusdegreesatthe<br />

beginningof<strong>November</strong>.<br />

‘‘They saythat crops don’t<br />

reallygrow over 26 degrees, so<br />

really, reallyhot temperatures<br />

aren’tfantastic,but that comes<br />

at this time of year.<br />

‘‘Butitdepends on where<br />

your farm is locatedand what<br />

sort of farm youhave.’’<br />

Farmers on irrigationcould<br />

offset any moisture loss, but<br />

fordryland farmers hot days<br />

couldmean thelossof<br />

moisture.<br />

‘‘But, to be honest,aside<br />

from thepressures of new<br />

nutrientand freshwater<br />

policies,peopleare quietly<br />

optimistic,though theprices<br />

forour crops could be higher,’’<br />

Mr Taggart says.<br />

‘‘It’s easy to say ‘it’s going<br />

well’.I’vebeenoptimistic the<br />

last fewyearsand thenthere’s<br />

somethingthatcomesalong<br />

andsquashes us.’’<br />

He says weather forecasts<br />

forthe summer ahead have<br />

predicted‘‘anaverage<br />

season’’,but what is ‘‘average’’<br />

in today’senvironment is open<br />

❛It’s easy to say ‘it’s<br />

going well’. I’ve been<br />

optimistic the last few<br />

years and then there’s<br />

something that comes<br />

along and squashes<br />

us.❜<br />

—Roscoe Taggart<br />

to interpretation.<br />

‘‘Wecan probablyexpect<br />

similarweathertowhat we’ve<br />

had,but withlessrain.’’<br />

Mr Taggart says he still has<br />

somehemptoput in the<br />

ground, but most arable<br />

farmers would havealready<br />

sowntheircrops.<br />

‘‘There’s definitely some<br />

growth around and there’s<br />

somesilage being beingmade<br />

all over the place.<br />

‘‘I was talking to alocal<br />

contractor theotherday and<br />

while he said thework was<br />

steady, they’renot rushedoff<br />

their feet.’’<br />

Omihi­basedcontractor Sam<br />

Bethell says work has picked<br />

up overthe last week for<br />

cuttingbaleage.<br />

‘‘Itwas abit frustrating<br />

sittingaround waiting over the<br />

lastthreetofour weeks,but<br />

now we’re finallygettinginto<br />

it.<br />

‘‘The growthhas been slow,<br />

but it’s certainly improving.<br />

It’stoo early to sayifit’s going<br />

to be agoodseason,but we are<br />

extremelybusy at the<br />

moment.’’<br />

For all your Silage,<br />

Baleage, Hay & Straw<br />

requirements<br />

Sensible silage strategies ... Attention to detail will ensure stored silage will not harm the environment.<br />

Feed storage solutions<br />

need to stack up<br />

Storing feed close to where it is needed<br />

makessense, DairyNZsays.<br />

Agood designwill help to reduce<br />

spoilage from rodents or pooling water,<br />

and prevent water pollution by capturing<br />

toxicleachate and run­off.<br />

Placement should also take the food<br />

safety minimum distances into account.<br />

Silage storage facilitiesshould be sited<br />

on landthat is easily accessible (close to<br />

the feed pad if you have one), is relatively<br />

flat,atleast 45 metres fromany farmdairy,<br />

and at least 50 metres fromwaterways,<br />

open drains or dams, and the catchment<br />

areasofbores.<br />

It pays to site it further away if the land<br />

is steep, soils are coarse textured, or<br />

groundwater may enter sensitive<br />

waterways.<br />

Keep the silage bunker pit well away<br />

from gullies or other places whererunoff<br />

catchment watercan flow intothe storage<br />

area.Ensure the site is not proneto<br />

floodingorhas ahigh water table. It<br />

should be away from any subsurface<br />

drains.<br />

The walls and floor of asilagebunker<br />

must be capable of withstanding the hard<br />

knocks of tractors and other machinery, as<br />

well as resisting corrosionfrom leachate.<br />

Concrete with awater/cement ratio of<br />

less than 0.4:1 should be used. Aconcrete<br />

floorshouldbe125mmthick and<br />

reinforced if vehicles are usedonit.<br />

The silage bunker floor should be<br />

watertight and extend out beyond the<br />

bunker walls. Construct anib wall along<br />

the sides. This willkeep freshwater out<br />

and leachate in.<br />

Slope the floor 1:50 towardsadrainage<br />

channellaid across the front of the bunker.<br />

For bunkers cut into theside of ahill, an<br />

impermeable surface is stillessential.<br />

Concrete is best, but compacted clay may<br />

be suitable. Check with the local council<br />

for any requirements it may have.<br />

Silage stacksonthe ground require a<br />

sealedsurface withleachate directed to a<br />

collectionpointand properly contained.<br />

Ashallow cut­off trench aroundthe<br />

stack will help preventwaterrun­offfrom<br />

the paddock entering the stack.<br />

All other stored feed is bestcontained in<br />

aconcretebunker. At the very leastit<br />

needs asealedsurface plus proper sides<br />

and acover to keep rain and wind out, and<br />

to controlleachate production.<br />

Silageleachate is surplus water from<br />

silage, which carries soluble sugars,<br />

proteins and nutrientswith it as it seeps<br />

out of the stack.<br />

This leachate is acidic and can pollute<br />

waterways.<br />

It is around 40 times stronger thanfarm<br />

dairy effluent and 200 times stronger than<br />

raw domestic sewage.<br />

It is corrosive and can damage concrete<br />

and steel.<br />

Ruakaka lass loves life<br />

By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />

Tammy D’Ath hails from<br />

Ruakaka, just south of<br />

Whangarei, in <strong>North</strong>land.<br />

However, for eight seasons<br />

now, she has come downtothe<br />

South Island for work,and for the<br />

secondyear in arow she is herein<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

She comes withall the tools of<br />

the tradefor the seasonal job she<br />

loves.She drives alargeute<br />

loadedwith gloves, overalls, and<br />

strawsofbull semen. Tammy is an<br />

artificial breeding technician for<br />

LIC.<br />

‘‘I make cow babies, and while<br />

the herd sizes here in the south<br />

are ahuge challenge, it’s just the<br />

most fulfilling job Ican thinkof,’’<br />

she says.<br />

‘‘I love the people, Ilove the<br />

freshair and exercise. And I<br />

absolutelylove the cows.Ilike the<br />

thought that I’m contributing to<br />

the future of the dairy industry<br />

and our economy, but doing it<br />

with compassion —every cow<br />

needs to be treatedwith respect.’’<br />

Tammy trainedasan<br />

insemination technician at the<br />

age of 17. Now, with years of<br />

experience and areputation for<br />

great resultsunder her belt, she is<br />

charged with the responsibility of<br />

teaching others.This season’s<br />

apprentice is the sixthshe has<br />

been entrusted with.<br />

‘‘I left school and did afarming<br />

course. Ialways wanted to work<br />

with animals,’’ she says.<br />

‘‘I’vedone some seasons in<br />

Australia,but it’s not the same as<br />

comingdown southhere.The vibe<br />

is amazing; the people are great<br />

and I’ve made lots of friends; and<br />

the snowymountainsmake me<br />

cry.’’<br />

All that said, her LIC<br />

equipment is not the only luggage<br />

in Tammy’s ute. When she’s not<br />

Breeding technician ... Tammy D’Ath at work.<br />

professional singer. She works<br />

her way through the dairyoffseason<br />

wineries and restaurants. In fact,<br />

one of the highlightsofher trip<br />

southsofar was singing for her<br />

return passage on the<br />

stillget stage nerves. Ifigure,<br />

though, thatifyou lose those<br />

butterflies, you loseyour edge,’’<br />

she says.<br />

‘‘I usually do at least four gigs a<br />

week through the summer,<br />

singing alot of the older classics<br />

—Ising songs my audiences tell<br />

And it feelsreally nicetoget<br />

Runner­up went to Two RiversJuliet<br />

Riesling <strong>2019</strong>, also from Marlborough.<br />

The judgeswere impressed withSpy<br />

boasted a‘‘mouthwatering acidity and<br />

freshness thatbelies its age’’, and<br />

championedits intense aromasoffresh<br />

wine list.<br />

The Two RiversJulietRiesling <strong>2019</strong><br />

was named champion riesling. The<br />

judgesnoted its fresh grapefruit notes.<br />

Its spicy acidity was concentrated and<br />

balanced,and the wine showed layers of<br />

complexity.<br />

Two Riversfounder and winemaker<br />

DavidCloustonsaid the win was ‘‘a true<br />

testament to the site and shows the<br />

vineyard’sreal potential to make great<br />

wines’’.<br />

The Macvine champion <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

wine in show was awardedtoMount<br />

The judgespraised its definition and<br />

textural acidityand championed it as a<br />

perfect exampleofariesling.<br />

MountBrown director Catherine Keith<br />

was ecstatic about the win.<br />

‘‘This is the third trophy for our<br />

riesling in as many years, so we are very<br />

excited about it.<br />

‘‘Making agreat wine consistently,<br />

across vintages, is very hard to do, but a<br />

smallfamily­owned vineyard in the heart<br />

of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> is doing just that.’’<br />

The judgeswere impressed withthe<br />

In amove going back to the future, DTS<br />

is the new brand name for Tru­Test<br />

Dairy Solutions.<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> and Marlborough area<br />

sales manager Trevor Green says the<br />

new branding not only creates anew,<br />

bright look for the company, but also<br />

ushers in anew direction.<br />

‘‘DTS has always been synonymous<br />

with quality stainless steel milk vats,<br />

farm holding tanks (FHTs), as well as<br />

milk refrigeration systems,’’ he says.<br />

Trevor has aDiploma in Agriculture<br />

and also one in Farm Management<br />

from Lincoln University, and owns a<br />

small farm near Christchurch.<br />

‘‘Our Normanby plant in Taranaki,<br />

which manufactures 95% of FHTs in<br />

New Zealand, has always been known<br />

as Dairy Technology Services.’’<br />

The new brand’s strapline is ‘‘Growth<br />

Through Innovation’’ which signifies<br />

DTS’s continued move into providing<br />

effective milk­vat and herd­monitoring<br />

software solutions.<br />

Through its nationwide network of<br />

sales and service teams, it has a<br />

contract to supply farm holding tanks<br />

to Fonterra Co­op farmers right around<br />

New Zealand. It is also commissioned<br />

to supply FHTs to other dairy industry<br />

players such as Synlait, Open Country,<br />

Westland and Tatua.<br />

DTS’s milk­cooling product range<br />

and then as it is refrigerated, as well as<br />

milk volumes and agitation.<br />

devices, complete with automated<br />

alerts.<br />

buildings. These are called priority earthquakeprone<br />

buildings.<br />

To establish the priority earthquake-pronebuildings<br />
