Birds make home in bush 

Native birds,including rare 

species, are becomingmore 

common in TiromoanaBush. 

Recent monitoring reveals 

increasedsightingsoftauhou/

piwakawaka/fantail (up 52%). 

Also,therehas been 

sightingsofspecies rarely 

seen at Tiromoana Bush, such 

as pipiwharauroa/shining 

cuckoo (up 72%) and 

ngirungiru/tomtit(up 1014%). 

The nationally atrisk 

puweto/spotless crake and 

koitareke/marsh crake were 

also detected at the Kate Pond 

wetlands for thefirsttime. 

It is the second round of bird

the restoration project is

Dr Wall thanked outgoing board 

members for their professionalism and 

dedication, and for the hours they 

committed to the school as volunteers. 

The school’s May 2019 Education 

Review Office report said, for sustained 

improvement and future learner 

success, priorities for further 

development were acoordinated and 

meaningful integration of te reo and 

tikanga Maori into the whole school 

curriculum, continuing to embed 

schoolwide initiatives for student 

wellbeing, and developing aspects of 

internal evaluation practice. 

The school, which goes to Year 8, has 

aroll of just over 160.

General manager Graeme 

Abbot is thrilled and relieved 

withthe responsefrom Kiwis, 

manyofwhom arrivedfrom

‘‘Weare delightedand 

reallypleased withthe volume 

of peoplewehad through. 

Visitorswerenot just from 

Christchurch but from allover 

the place.’’ 

LastMonday wasmuch 

quieter, but was stillOK, he 

said. 

However, Mr Abbot says the 

complexisnot out of the 

woods by ‘‘anystretch of the 

imagination’’. 

Nevertheless, he was 

pleased that tills were ringing 

and peoplewerehaving a

‘‘There is more traffic on the 

road thanthere was following 

it opening up after the 2016 

quake,’’ Gary says. 

At thattime there were 

threetearooms and all

thefinal straw. 

Mr Mitchellsays

Crs Niki Mealings and Al Blackie 

were appointed to a‘‘sustainability 

strategy steering group’’, along with 

council staff, at last week’s council 

meeting. 

Chief executive Jim Palmer said the 

steering group would help the council 

to get ‘‘our own house in order’’ before 

championing sustainability in the 

community. 

‘‘It’s about making sure we are doing 

the things we should be doing in our 

organisation and, once we are 

confident with that, we can go out into 

the community with our sustainability 

message. 

Cr Mealings said she was excited to 

finally be able to make some progress 

on developing asustainability strategy. 

‘‘This is really important to our 

district and our whole country and we 

need all of you on board.’’ 

Mayor Dan Gordon said: ‘‘The 

adoption of asustainability approach 

within the organisation complements 

the need for new approaches to the way 

council goes about its business, 

including playing its part in 

transitioning the country to alow 

emissions economy by 2050.’’

Down side of cannabis 

needs to be pointed out 

DearEditor, 

Yourfront page on July16glorified the 

growingofcannabis withthe promiseof 

20,000jobs andthe collectionofmillions 

of dollars in tax revenue.Italso seemedto 

be an active attempttosolicit a“yes” vote 

in the coming referendum. It is important 

to notethat theproposedbillweare 

voting on doesnot cover medicinal 

cannabisorthe growing of hemp as these 

are already legal. 

Yourstory does not mention the ‘‘down’’ 

sidetolegalisingcannabisuse. 

As agrandfather,and not an expert in 

thisfield, Iamconcerned aboutthe 

negative effects of cannabis usefeatured 

in the many studies thathave been done 

and that Ihave read about.These have 

found thatcannabis usetriples the riskof 

developingpsychoticsymptoms,thatit 

doubles therisk of domestic violence, that 

the rates of murder andassaults have 

increasedmuch faster in the states in the 

US thathave legalised than the restofthe 

country, and that thenumberofdrivers 

involved in fatal caraccidentsinColorado 

and Washington,and whohave tested 

positive for marijuana,has soared.The 

costtoour country from theresulting 

mayhemwillcertainly be morethanthe 

tax collected. 

It is also verystrangewhenweasa 

nationhave realproblemswith alcohol 

and heavilydiscouragepeoplefrom 

smokingcigarettes, that we would now 

encourage the use of another addictive 

substance.That is why it wasbanned in 

the first place. Do we not learn?

DearEditor, 

As aresidentofNorth Canterbury Iwas 

gobsmacked andinfuriated last night

and illinformedviews. 

Iamall for people statingtheirviews 

but to utilise the situation we are 

currentlyinwith apandemicand rising 

unemployment as apotential swaying 

point in the upcoming referendum makes 

me angry. Iamsure there manyothers are 

disappointed with ourlocalnewspaper. 

There was no even representation of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

opinion, paint afalsepicture of the 

situationnow facing Colorado and its 

residents. 

Frommystandpoint, and thatofall my 

friendsinColorado andother states in the 

US, is that monumentaldamage has 

occurred fromthe legalisationof 

cannabis. Massive increasesinmental 

health issues, familyviolence, teen 

suicide,vehicle fatalities, drugaddiction 

and loadsofother social issues far 

outweigh the small contributionsthat 

legalisingcannabis and thetax funds 

raised have broughttostates thathave 

legalised the drug. 

Iwould welcomearticles fromthe North 

Canterbury News thatgive allthe facts so 

thatthe public hereinNew Zealand can 

be informed of allthe issuesaround 

legalisingcannabis. It is our young people 

who aregoing to suffer alifetime of harm 

frompotentiallylegalisinganotherdrug. 

Legalising cannabis,inmyview, will 

damageour communities and social 

infrastructure,aswellkiwisyoungand 

old. 

Iwould askthe media here in New 

Zealandtogoand takeapoll in the states 

of the US thathavelegalisedcannabis 

whether, if theycouldroll backtime, 

would they vote differently. 

Iwould suspect from talking to my 

friendsinthe US thatthe pollwouldshow 

that sentiments havechanged drastically 

on theissue. The problem is they cannot 

turn back time andnow thatitislegal it is 

nearlyimpossibletoget awayfromall the 

negative effects on society. 

It is my view thatthe North Canterbury 

News should notbeputtinginformation 

like they have donethis past week on the 

frontpage. 

Yours, 

Linc Burgess 

(Abridged) 

Claptrap 

Dear Editor, 

In reply to MichaelSmith’s letter on 

cannabis reform on July 2, Iask:How 

naive can you be? 

Theletter is fullofclaptrapand naivety. 

A‘‘no’’ vote in the cannabis referendum 

is avote againstnaivety and apositive one 

forgoodoldfashioned commonsense. 

Let’sremain theenvyofthe world — 

nuclearfreeand intolerant to all drugs. 

Vote no.

Volunteers are being sought to 

give avoice to accessibility 

issues in the Waimakariri 

District. 

The Waimakariri Access 

Group(WAG)isseeking new 

recruits. Chairwoman Chris 

Greengrass says accessissues 

can affect awide crosssection 

of society. 

‘‘It’s something thataffectsa 

lot of people. It could be a 

sightimpairment, ahearing 

impairment or aphysical 

impairment. 

‘‘It includes wheelchairs, 

motorised scooters, Zimmer 

frames, evenpushing prams, 

and it can be alongterm or a 

shorttermdisability, such as 

thoseoncrutches.’’ 

When talking about 

accessibility or disability, 

Chrissays she preferstothink 

aboutitas being inclusive. 

‘‘Most people as theyget 

olderwill develop adisability, 

but we don’t evenhavetobe 

old. When Iwas playing 

netballmany years ago, Idid 

my cruciate ligamentsand I 

was on crutches for awhile, 

and you soonrealisethat 

doorscan be so heavy and 

stairs can be achallenge.’’ 

WAG, she says, provides a 

voicefor asector of the 

community, whichprobably 

includes most people at some 

pointintheir lives. 

Efforts such as ensuring 

advertisingboards and 

clothing racks are not 

blocking footpaths, replacing 

heavy doors with automatic 

sliding doors, providing 

menus in largeprint and 

havingquiet areasincafes 

can make abig difference, she 

says. 

WAG membersadvise 

council staff whennew 

playgrounds or council 

facilitiesare built andcan 

offer advice to businesses. 

FormerWAG chairwoman 

Jill Waldron joined council 

staff on an audit of councilowned 

toilets afew yearsago, 

Chris says. ‘‘That was a 

mission in itself.Ittook 

several monthswhen time 

allowed andithighlighted a 

numberofissues. 

‘‘I think it’s reallyimportant 

that we get it right to start 

with. We certainly don’t have 

the money to alterthings, but 

we find most businessesare 

accommodating and want to 

do the right thing.’’ 

The council’s community 

team supportsWAG, and 

other councilstaffregularly 

attendmeetings to hear a 

disabled person’s perspective 

on council projects. 

WAG is keentohear from

More weather extremes ahead 


Climate change will affectWaipara’s 

grapegrowing region, it was revealed 

last week. 

The potential impact of climate 

change on grapegrowing in Canterbury 

was outlined at apublicmeeting 

at Amberley Schoollast week. 

The meeting, hosted by Resilient 

Hurunui, was held to announce 

findings from the 2019Climate 

Change Projectionsfor New Zealand 

Wine Regions research project 

carried out by the National Institute 

of Water and Atmospheric Research 

(Niwa). 

It was commissioned by the Bragato 

Research Institute,asubsidiary of 

New Zealand Winegrowers. 

Niwa was askedtoanalyse 

projectedclimate changesfor nine 

winegrowingregions including 

Northland,Auckland,Gisborne, 

Hawke’s Bay,Wairarapa, 

Marlborough, NelsonTasman, 

Canterburyand Central Otago. 

The report’s leadauthor,Niwa’s 

climate, atmosphere and hazards 

manager PetraPearce, outlined the 

research at the meeting, explaining 

the climatic modelling used to make 

the projectionsand whatthey might 

meanfor growersinWaipara. 

The predictions included more 

extreme high temperatures and 

heatwaves, fewer extreme low 

temperatures, ageneral decrease in 

early spring and summer rainfall, 

withsome increases in late summer 

and autumn, largerextreme rainfall 

events, and minimal change to 

drought potential. 

Andrew Lorrey, Niwa’s principal 

scientist for climate and 

environmental applications, also 

addressedthe meeting.

Bragato’s principalresearch 

scientistfor grapevine improvement, 

Darrell Lizamore, alsoattended, but 

was not aguest speaker. 

He said climate research would 

help winegrowers make longterm 

plans to decide what grapevarieties 

would be most suitable in the future. 

The meetingattracted alarge 

crowd,including Omihi sheepand 

beef farmerNick Hamilton, whose 

farm is in Waipara’s grapegrowing 

country, nexttoBlack Estate Wines. 

He said the meeting was 

worthwhile.The projections were 

relevant for allfarmers, not just grape 

growers, and were ‘‘not as dramatic’’ 

as he had feared. 

‘‘There wasn’tquiteasmuch detail 

as Ihad hoped, but there areno 

guarantees, no definite blueprint for 

what is goingtohappen. It is their 

best guessand we havetowork with 

that.’’ 

Cust recycling 

trial extended 

By DAVID HILL 

Cust residents are 

relieved to see the 

return of their recycling 

service. 

The Waimakariri 

District Council recently 

agreed to reinstate the 

service for afurther sixmonthtrial 

in the spring, 

afteritwas put on hold 

because of the Covid19 

lockdown. 

Cust Community 

Network (CCN) secretary 

Yolande Lawrence says 

residents are pleased 

and relieved. 

The further six months 

will allow the original 

trialperiod of one year 

to be completed, to gauge 

interestinrural 

recyclinginCust. 

CCN received alot of 

feedback from residents 

wanting to know when 

the bins willreturn,she 

says. 

‘‘TheCust community 

is really keen to reduce 

our carbon footprint by 

recyclinglocally and 

reducing waste to 

landfill. 

‘‘CCNhopestorun a 

localeducation day in 

the spring to help 

encouragepeople to 

recycle correctly and 

promote recycling and 

bin use by rural 

residents.’’ 

Cust’s recycling 

scheme was launched in 

Julylastyear by former 

mayor David Ayers. It 

was putonhold as the 

countryprepared for 

lockdown. 

The council’s solid 

waste asset manager, 

Kitty Waghorn, says nine 

months of data has been 

gathered. 

While therewere 

someinitial ‘‘teething 

problems’’, therewas 

gooduse of the siteby 

locals,with 40.8tonnes 

of recyclingcollected 

during the trial period, 

she says. 

‘‘Ingeneral, the 

recycling was acceptable 

and there was alow level 

of contamination. 

‘‘However, we 

understand that there 

havebeen some issues 

withunacceptable 

materials being thrown 

intothe bins, and that 

the publicans have been 

removing these 

materials as well as 

keepingthe sitetidy.’’ 

Somesealing work 

willberequiredbefore 

the facility could be reestablished 

after the 

winter, Ms Waghorn 

says.

Plastic-free as away of life 


PlasticFree July is aglobal 

movementchallengingpeople to 

reduce plasticuse, but for Eco 

Educate’sLesley Ottey, it is just 

business as usual. 

Lesley’s SouthbrookResource 

Recovery Parkbasedbusiness 

provides informativeworkshops for 

schools, communities and the health 

sector to show people simple ideas 

to help reduce waste. ‘‘I am not that 

fussed on having aplasticfree 

monthbecause Ithink every month 

should be plasticfree,’’ she said. 

‘‘If we all just look at the little 

things we can do daily to reduce our 

use of plastic, we canachieve 

change.’’ 

Swapping plastic shopping bags 

for reusable bagsand containers 

was agreat example of how to make 

astart, and if consumers were not 

happyabout the plasticused to wrap 

or dispensethe products they buy 

(suchasthe plastic scoops 

contained in manybrands of soap 

powder) they should ‘‘feeditback to 

the manufacturer’’,Lesley says. 

‘‘Allthese manufacturers have 

consumerhotlines seeking 

customer feedback,and if everybody 

voices their concerns we may see 

change.’’ 

PaulaDouglas, an administrative 

assistant for Three Waters, a 

division of the Waimakariri District 

Council’s utilities and roading 

department, has also been 

encouraging colleaguesinweekly 

newsletters on the council’s intranet 

to make ‘‘simpleswaps’’ in daily life 

to reduce plastic waste. 

Thesecan include initiatives such 

as buying groceriesfrom outlets

and buyingproducts in glass rather

‘‘Theproductsinglass containers

Poor recycling 

habits revealed 

By DAVID HILL 

Waimakariri residents are 

being asked to check what 

they put in the yellow 

recycling bin. 

Recent yellowbin audits 

have revealed some 

residents have got into 

‘‘bad habits’’ after the 

lockdown. 

Mayor Dan Gordon puts 

the change in habits down 

to ‘‘mixed messaging’’, 

which resulted from 

recycling being sent to 

landfill during the 

lockdown while recycling 

facility, Eco Central, was 

closed because of Covid19 

restrictions. 

‘‘There was mixed 

messaging around the 

waste collection coming 

out of Christchurch, saying 

that you could put 

anything in your yellow 

bins because it was going 

to landfill. 

‘‘It takes alot to get 

people recycling anyway, 

so once people get into bad 

habits it can take time to 

get them back into good 

habits.’’ 

The result is too many 

yellow bins are failing 

council waste audits. 

As the contents of yellow 

bins are emptied into a 

truck, it can take just one 

bin with the wrong items to 

contaminate atruckload. 

‘‘We are back doing 

waste audits on properties 

so we can then identify 

those who are doing the 

right thing and those who 

are not,’’ Mr Gordon says. 

‘‘We need to turn this 

around and get people 

back to following the good 

practices they were 

following before the 

lockdown.’’ 

Eco Educate rethink 

educator Lesley Ottey says 

‘‘there is room for 

improvement’’ and her 

advice is simple. 

‘‘If in doubt, throw it out. 

As long as it’s not 

hazardous it can go in the 

red bin and batteries can 

be dropped off at the 

Southbrook Resource 

Recovery Park.’’ 

There are options the 

council can consider for 

repeat offenders, including 

disincentives and even 

the removal of the service. 

Advice is available on 

the Waimakariri District 

Council website around 

what can go in yellow bins. 

Much of the confusion 

surrounds plastics, with 

the yellow bin now accepting 

only rigid plastic 

containers and bottles 

marked with a1,2or5. 

All other plastic, 

including lids and soft 

plastics, need to go in the 

rubbish.

Socks keep ballet dancers on their toes 


Designers dance socks are 

helping point budding ballerinas 

in the right direction. 

They are also helpingwarm the 

feet of childreninneed. 

JennaMcKenzie, the principal 

of the JennaMcKenzieSchoolof 

Dance, has transformed the 

humble sock into an attractive 

and magicalteachingaid, and 

her ideahas capturedthe 

imagination of her students, and 

the ballet world.

Clever idea ... The socks help 

youngsters learn ballet. PHOTO: SUPPLIED 

sold, The Dance Sock Academy 

Ltd,acompany formed by Jenna 

to make socks,donatesapair of 

sports or school socks to Kiwi 

children in need through The 

Clothing Project. 

Jenna loves to make ballet 

magical and interestingfor her 

students and uses imagery and 

props to help them with their 

technique.Socks, withfairies, 

wands, stars,with afew strings 

attached,are nowproving to be 

an invaluable extension to this. 

The socksgrew out of achat at 

ateachers training courseon 

how to teachchildren the 

technical side of ballet without 

making it tedious and onerous. 

Imaginingstrings pullingat 

their heels,mice under the 

insteps to keep themfromrolling 

their feet, and fairiesontheir 

toestomake sure their knees 

pointed in the right direction 

haveall beenhelpful,along with 

stickersontheir feet. 

But an actual pairofsocks with 

visual marks childrencan see 

and touch are proving far more 

effective. 

Jenna, who learntballet from 

the age of 6, has taught dance in 

Rangiorafor 19 years, and also in 

London for atime. She madea 

mockpair of socks after the 

course to see how the children 

responded. 

She did some ‘‘terrible’’ 

sketches of her ideas, then 

turned to glueing somestringson 

socks and introduced themtothe 

class. 

‘‘They thoughtthey were the 

bestthing ever and it really 

encouraged me to workto 

developthe idea further. 

‘‘I then wentahead and 

designed 10 special features to 

assist danceteachersinclass and 

students practising at home.’’ 

It tookayear to develop the 

design,incorporating alifetime 

of danceteaching tricks. 

Create DesigninRangiora 

helped the project cometolife 

with final designs for the socks, a 

logo and the Sock Academy 

website. Jenna then beganthe 

search for amanufacturer who 

could make goodquality, 

affordablesocks, and support a 

charity. 

Her search ended in Taiwan, 

as finding someone in New 

Zealandwilling to take on the 

projectproved fruitless. 

However, she has not given up 

being able to findalocalmaker 

in the future. 

The end result is acleverly 

designed sock with colourful 

characters,including afairy, a 

unicornand asuper cute mouse 

—all favourites of kidsofall ages. 

‘‘It has beensopositive. Iam 

excitedaboutbeing able to help 

other dance teachers and 

students aroundthe worldand 

The ClothingProject.’’ 

The Jenna McKenzie School of 

Dance takes part in annual 

recitals, exams, competitions and 

public performances. 

There areabout 500 students at 

the school. 

Severalpast students have 

moved on to fulltimetraining and 

have become successful teachers 

themselves. 

‘‘Itotally loveteachingdance,

Competition 

to proceed 

By DAVID HILL 

Neroli Goldadmitsshe wondered 

whether the popular 48 Hours in 

Kaikoura photography competition 

wouldgoaheadthisyear. 

Despite ongoing uncertainty over 

Covid19, the annualcompetition will 

run nextmonthasitnormallydoes. 

Neroli saidshe didsome soulsearchingbefore 

making the decision. 

‘‘It was because Ididn’t want to 

approach anyone for sponsorship 

because I’m aware manybusinesses are 

doingittough, but Ifound the local 

businesses werestill keen to be involved 

as theysee it as agoodway of promoting 

the town.’’ 

Firstheld in 2002, the photos capture 

Kaikourainamoment in time and 

ultimatelyhelp to tellthe history of the 

town,especially for images taken before 

the 2016 earthquake, Neroli says. 

Last year’swinningentry, Weathered,a 

picture of the Whakatu WharfbyKate 

Fielder, is acase in point, she says. 

It will soon be pulled down for 

redevelopment. 

Photos needtobetaken over 48 hours 

during the weekend of Saturday and 

Sunday, August 1and 2, with entries 

needing to be in by August 20, ready for 

judging the next day. 

The annualexhibition of entries will 

be heldinthe Kaikoura Libraryfrom 

August 22 to September 5. 

Acalendarofthe last year’s 

competition imageswas delayed, but will 

be availablenext month as aSeptember 

2020 to August 2021 calendar. They can

Cold comfort ... Winter health issues can arise for pets. 

DOGGY DAY CARE 

2203789 

$15 per day 


Keep your pets happy 

and safe this winter 

Kathy Preston, aveterinarian with the Rangiora Vet Centre, offers tips 

and advice about caring for your pets, and looking after them in winter. 

Is your pet abit stiff and sore thiswinter? 

Your cat or dog, especially if they are 

aged over7,may be displayingearlysigns 

of arthritis. 

Signs of thisincludestiffness when 

getting up fromlying down and areduced 

ability to jump. 

This can progress to limping when 

walking or running. 

By the time they are crying out in pain, 

the arthritis and pain are verysevere, so 

do not leaveitthis long before seeking 

veterinary helpfor your pet. 

There are evidencebasedsupplements 

available at vet clinics which can improve 

joint health and ease early discomfort. 

Vet clinics alsostock excellent sciencebased 

dietswhich havebeen proven to 

help your dog walk, run and jump more 

easily, as well as providingall the 

nutrition yourcat or dog needs. 

Being proactiveabout mobilityissues 

early can delay the need for painkillers, 

but eventually most pets require 

medication to keep them painfree. 

Other simplethings to consider: If 

you’vehad to put an extra blanket on your 

bed, don’t forgetyour pet will mostlikely 

need alittle extrawarmth and cushioning 

duringthe night,too. 

Many arthritic dogs appreciate awarm 

coat to wear when out in coldweather. 

If youare wondering aboutyour pet’s 

joint health thiswinter or you havea 

seniorpet, start with ahealth check by 

your vet. 

They candiscuss withyou asuitable 

diet and the possible addition of 

supplementsorother medicationstoget 

your pet moremobile again. 

Other winter health issues 

Cats toileting inside 

If your cat starts toileting or spraying 

indoors, it is cause for concern as theyare 

normally very fastidiousabouttheir toilet 

habits. 

The occasional oneoff accident may 

happenifacat is unwell or is suddenly 

frightened or stressed by aparticular 

event,but if toileting aroundthe home 

persists, the causeshouldbeinvestigated. 

Punishment won’t work.Itserves only to 

make the cat fearful and stressed,and will 

quite likely makethe problem worse. 

Something hasgone wrong in its 

environmentorwith its health. 

It mayneed some pain relief, or at 

worst,have aurinary tract blockage. This 

is an emergency requiringurgent 

veterinary intention. Do not delay takingit 

to the vet as ablocked cat rapidly goes into 

renal failure. 

Lock your rubbish bins 

With pets keepingwarm indoors alittle 

more this time of year, you need to be 

wary of keeping your rubbishbins locked. 

Surgery to removeforeign material from 

the intestinal systems of dogs can increase 

duringthe winter. Amongthe offending 

objects oftenremoved are corn cobs and 

walnuts. 

Antifreeze 

Be very carefulwith antifreeze this 

winter. Unfortunately, boththe smell and 

taste of antifreezeare generally appealing 

to pets. 

Many cars have some component of antifreezeintheir 

radiators and animals may 

stop to lick or drink this sweettasting 

liquid from aleak or apuddle of 

inadequately disposedof fluid. The 

harmful ingredient in antifreeze is 

ethyleneglycol, an extremely toxic 

chemical. Even the smallest amountofthis 

liquid can be fatal to acat or dog. 

Symptoms of antifreeze poisoning 

include adrunken appearance — 

staggering, lackofcoordination, and 

apparent disorientation.Vomiting, and 

even seizures, can occur. 

Take your poisoned animaltothe vet as 

fast as possible. 

Rat bait 

Rat bait is verypoisonous. Modernrat 

poisons aremuch more toxic to dogs than 

the old warfarinbased chemicalpoisons. 

The amount required to poisonyourdog 

is small and the amount of antidote 

required to treat it is much higher. 

Cats are lesslikely to be poisoned 

because theyare fussy eaters and 

generallydon'teat dead or sick mice or 

rats. However, it can still happen, and they 

can certainly be poisoned from eating bait. 

What to do 

If you know your dog has eaten rat bait 

get to the vet as soon as possible.Ifitwas 

recently ingested,drugscan be given to 

make your dog vomit it up, and ablood test 

72 hours later can show if the dog has 

absorbed any poisonornot. 

If clotting has not beenaffected, no 

further treatmentisneeded. 

However, if absorption has occurred,the 

clotting timesare prolonged, or if your dog 

is already bleeding because of the poison, 

treatment with Vitamin K1 (by injection 

and then orally) will be started right away 

and continued for three weeks. 

Severely affected dogs and cats 

sometimes require alifesaving blood 

transfusionand hospitalcare.

Optimising gut health 

key to healthy calves 

With the exclusion of antibiotics in many 

markets worldwide, the need for 

probiotic ingredients is increasing. 

There are many blends and probiotic 

mixtures available for animal 

inoculation. 

The term “probiotic” is often used to 

describe products that contain live 

lactic acid bacteria. 

Some products are sold 

as powder blends, and are 

mixed with water by the 

enduser before use. 

Pastes are another form 

of application that are 

fully prepared, readytouse 

orally between the 

teeth and the cheek, which 

for some is preferred and 

more convenient. 

What is needed is a 

proven natural gut 

conditioner to help 

develop the young calf 

until they are fully 

adapted to solid feed. 

The digestive system of a 

newborn animal is essentially sterile, 

but it quickly gets invaded by billions of 

bacteria, both friendly and harmful, 

from the environment in which it is 

being reared. 

These bacteria are taken in via food 

and water consumed and by licking 

surroundings in the rearing shed or feed 

and water troughs in the paddock. 

If the harmful bacteria win the battle 

for dominance in the gut, scouring 

results –with all its associated hassles. 

If the ‘‘good guys’’ win, then the result 

Matt Cassineri 

is usually ahealthy calf that digests its 

milk well, thrives and performs well. 

Under ideal circumstances, astable 

population of good, healthy bacteria 

develops in the first 710 days. 

The intestinal bacteria have amajor 

influence on the nutrition and health of 

the calf. 

AllLac TM from Alltech Inc. contains 

billions of the ‘‘good 

guys’’, so when it is given 

to acalf early in life, that 

calf is getting early 

reinforcements for the 

challenges ahead. 

It comes in a 

convenient paste that is 

easy to squirt into the 

calf’s mouth using a 

specially designed paste 

gun. 

This can also be used 

after calving, in times of 

stress such as after 

injury, transportation, 

serious infections, 

following antibiotic use, 

or to stimulate appetite and wellbeing. 

Any calf management programme 

should concentrate on optimising gut 

health, establishing the right rumen 

microbes, and minimising diseaserobbing 

challenges.

management programme, give Alltech

By DAVID HILL 

Graeme Pilehelps farmers to use the “less 

is more”principlewhen applying 

fertiliser. 

Fertigation is applying fertiliser 

through irrigation. It has been usedinthe 

United States since the 1960s. 

Mr Pilehas beenworking with 

fertigation for 10 years.Hedesigns and 

builds fertigationunits, which are 

attachedtoirrigators. 

Farmers who adopted fertigation 

applied smalleramounts of urea on their 

paddocksdaily or weekly,insteadof 

monthly applications.Theyendedup 

savingmoney over the yearwhilegetting 

betterutilisation. 

“It’s used alot in horticulture andin 

orchardsbecause fertigation is an ideal 

way to feed the plants with nutrients as 

they need it,” he says. “It is aboutusing the 

‘little and often' approach. 

‘‘We’re focusing on the nitrogen, but it’s 

all aboutgrowing grass. 

‘‘It needs aconstantsupplyofnutrients 

and by applying it every day those 

nutrients are betterutilised, so over the 

seasonyou actually end up applying less.” 

The industrynorm in dairyingwas to 

apply 30kg of ureainone application each 

month,but the fertigation approach was to 

FERTILISER &AGRICULTURALLIMESPREADING& LIMESPREADING 

1483547 

apply 1kg aday. It did not need to be 

appliedonrainy days. 

Whenthere was alarge amount of urea 

appliedinone hit,there was ahigh risk of 

it being washed awayifthere was aheavy 

rainfall,MrPile said. 

“It means the soil biology can better 

utilise the nitrates, so the grass growing 

under fertigation has less nitrogenwhich 

means the amountofnitrogeninthe cows’ 

urine is less, so there’s lessleaching over 

the winter.” 

Mr Pile’sCanterburybased company, 

Fertigation Systems, is 12 months into a 

Ministry of Primary Industries’ 

Sustainable FarmingFund project in 

partnership withLincolnUniversityand 

IrrigationNZ. 

The project, led by Lincoln University 

masters student Tommy Ley, compares 

grass growth in replicated trials where 

solid urea and liquidurea are applied 

either monthlyorweekly. 

“What we find is the farmers who use 

fertigation, the level of nitrogen they need 

to applyreduceseach yearbecausethey 

are producing moreclover.” 

Fertigation SystemsisNew Zealand’s 

onlyfertigation company and has 

fertigation units on 41 farmsacross the 

South Island, including Pamu’s (formerly 

Landcorp) irrigated dairy farms in North 

Canterbury. 

Around half of the farmerswere in 

dairying, about onequartereach in arable 

or sheep and beef, and acouplewere deer 

farmers. 

The fertigation system gives farmers 

morecontrol, Mr Pile says. 

Pamuhas been abletoreduce its 

application of nitrogen by 34 percent over 

two years of usingthe fertigationunit, 

which saves $189 per hectare in urea and 

$56 per hectare in spreadingcosts, he says. 

“Oneofthe major benefitsoffertigation 

is thatyou can changethe amount of 

fertiliseryou applydepending on climatic 

conditionsand potential grass growth.” 

With over 30 years 

behind us, we’re the little 

company that’s big on 

experience

Clover can address 

farm nitrogen issues 

White clover will become an important 

environmental mitigationtool forfarmers 

as they respond to new governmentimposed 

nitrogen caps, predicts seed 

company Germinal New Zealand. 

General manager SarahGard says white 

clover, anaturalnitrogen fixer, is alow 

cost and practicalresource for farmers 

which can reduce thecost and environmentalimpact 

of artificial fertiliser. 

‘‘We expect white clover 

will playanincreasingly 

important roleinNew 

Zealand’s pastoral system 

as farmers seek to comply 

with the current regulatory 

landscape,’’she says. 

By July2021,all pastoral 

farmers are required to 

reducetheirsynthetic 

nitrogen fertiliser use to 

come within acap of 190kg 

per hectare, per year.The 

new policyispart of the 

government’s recently 

released Actionfor Healthy 

Waterways package. Dairy 

farmers will also need to 

reportannuallytoregional councils 

details of the weight of nitrogen they 

applied per hectare. 

The government estimates 2000 dairy 

farmers, the majorityinCanterburyand 

Southland,will need to reduce fertiliser 

use in the next year to stayunder thecap. 

However, industry experts have 

challenged this figure, claimingupto35 

percentofdairy farmsinthe country might 

be impacted. 

Sarah sayswhite clover has been 

overlooked by farmersinfavour of high 

ryegrass levels to increasedry matter. 

Sarah Gard 

‘‘A combination of lightersowingrates 

for clover, increased use of nitrogen 

fertiliser, andsoil nutrient deficiency, 

means the majority of New Zealand farms 

haveaclover percentagewell below the 

optimum levelof30%,’’ says Sarah, who 

alsomanages two North Canterburydairy 

farms with her husband, Will. 

Arecentcost analysis by Germinal 

suggests New Zealandfarmers can 

economicallyreducetheir 

synthetic nitrogen use by 

switching to ahigh clover 

sowing rate. 

‘‘Our calculations show 

thatthe nitrogeninputs into 

asystem with anitrogen 

fertiliserapplicationrate of 

250kg per hectare per year, 

combined with alow clover 

sowing rate, would cost 

approximately $1580 per 

hectare duringafiveyear 

period,’’ Sarah says. 

‘‘Bycomparison, asystem 

withanitrogenapplication 

ratethat meetsthe new 

190kg cap and whichhas a 

higher cloversowingrate wouldhave 

nitrogen costs closerto$1250per hectare 

during the samefiveyear period. 

‘‘Cloverwill also have the ability to fix 

morenitrogen if there is less fertiliser 

applied, as it won’tbesuppressed by 

increased grass growth and subsequent 

competition for nutrients, light and water.’’ 

Ahigh clover sowing rate is notwithout 

risk, cautions Sarah. 

‘‘Ifthe sowing rate is too high cattle can 

suffer from bloat.Itcan be mitigated, but it 

is somethingthat farmersneedtobe 

mindful of.

However, due to anumber of reasons 

(includingCovid19), our drainage 

workstream will be completed at alater 

date of January 2021.’’ 

EnvironmentCanterburyKaikoura zone

project has been asuccess. ‘‘Since the 

initial application for funding, the 

Kaikouraofficehas supported where 

needed and acknowledges thatthe funding 

is centred around acommunity driven 

approach, for acommunityled project. 

‘‘Environment Canterbury has gained 

some valuableinsights into how these

Honey offers asweet career for siblings 


Growing up on an organic sheep and

Malcolm had afascination for the honey 

bees in hives on the property. 

Now, James and his sister, Laura, own 

Foothills Honey, with 4500 honeybee 

hives to manage, including acustombuilt

‘‘We work with farmers across Te 

Waipounamu –some as far as the West 

Coast and some as close as next door,’’ 

Laura says. 

For James, it was ‘‘love at first sight, 

the curiosity of the inner workings of the 

social structure within abeehive’’, 

which got him hooked on working with 

honey bees, beginning with 10 hives as a 

teenager. 

Laura, as his younger sister, wanted to 

be involved in everything James was 

doing, so when James offered Laura a 

job ‘‘for the summer to get his office 

systems in order’’ she was quick to 

accept. 

‘‘I’m still here annoying him five years 

later,’’ she says. 

The business began in 2009, trading as 

Natural New Zealand Honey Ltd and 

exporting bulk honey all over the world 

to different honey traders under various 

brands. 

‘‘Most honey brands are marketing 

companies, buying honey off 

beekeepers and selling under their own 

label,’’ Laura says. 

‘‘We have full traceability. James, 

alongside his crew of beekeepers, 

harvested that honey, which is an 

awesome story and one we want to 

share.’’ 

The siblings both own lifestyle 

properties on Foothills Road in Okuku 

and decided to buy the Foothills Honey 

business because the Foothills story 

gelled with them and their connection to 

Foothills Road. 

‘‘We knew we could put our

Project backs workshops 

By DAVID HILL 

The Post Quake Farming Project is back 

in actionwith aseries of eventstohelp 

farmers become more resilient. 

Aftermoving to online and multimedia 

initiatives underlockdown, the project 

has come out of hibernation to offer 

business coachingworkshops and an 

agritourism session in the coming weeks, 

project manager Michael Bennettsays. 

‘‘We are surfacing after the Covid19 

disruption.Stuff didcarry on, justnot the 

fielddays and events and it wasn’t high 

profile.Wehave pivoted to do more with 

othermedia including video, podcasts 

and shows on Compass FM.’’ 

The first postlockdown events are 

workshops for ruralwomen and farming 

couples led by Waiaubased business 

coachMarinaShearer,beginningnext 

week.Anagritourism workshopwill be 

held at Kekerengu on August 4. 

All are fullyfundedbythe project. 

The workshops for rural womenwere a 

long time coming, Mr Bennett says. 

While the workshops focused on rural 

women have received agood response, 

Mrs Shearer says thereare vacancies for 

the farming couples workshops. 

The couples workshopswill use Disc 

psychometricassessments to help 

understand eachindividual’sstrengths, 

motivators, talents and stressors and will 

providetoolstohelp couples 

communicate better,she says. 

The agritourism workshop will be 

facilitated by Quality Tourism 

Development consultantCraig Wilson 

and Lincoln University academic Dr Jo 

Fountain and will considerthe present

Eyes of Saracens firmly on asemi-finals spot 

By LINDSAY KERR and 

PETER WILLIAMS 

RUGBY 

Saracenskept asemifinalberth 

wellinits sights after asolid 

2510 victory over Hurunui in the 

latest round of North Canterbury 

rugby lastSaturday. 

Saracens’ firsthalf effort was 

out of the top drawer as theside 

raced to a170lead after35 

minutes. Its forwards and backs 

combined effectively, with 

loosiesBrett Hancoxand Willie 

Kerrgaining control at the 

breakdowntoset up attacking 

platforms. 

Livewire winger Nikora Jarvis 

scored the first try whenhe 

danced aroundhis opponents. 

Skipper Josh Maynard scoredthe 

second, while RickyAllin kicked 

the goals. 

Hurunui attacked in the 

closing moments of the half and 

could be considered unluckynot 

to have scored. Its half was also 

not helpedbyasecondserious 

injury in as manyweeks. Jonno 

Schwass was stretchered offwith 

aruptured kneeligament. 

Hurunui played with more 

purpose in the secondhalf, 

scoring two unanswered tries 

before Saracens completed its 

day withaclassysolo try down 

the left flank by substitute winger 

Grant Broderson. 

In addition to Hancox and 

Kerr, halfbackOllie Ashby was a 

standout performerfor Saracens 

and RickyAllin’skickingwas 

decisive. 

No. 8Willie Jameson and lock 

WillPorritt stood out in the 

Hurunui pack. 

Scoreboard:Saracens 25 

(Nikora Jarvis, Josh Maynard, 

Grant Broderson, tries; Ricky 

Allin, 2conversions and 2 

penalties),Hurunui 10 (Willie 

Jamesonand Tom Crean tries). 

Classy performance 

Though GlenmarkCheviot had 

been unbeaten going into the topofthetable 

clash with Kaiapoi at 

Omihi last Saturday, its form in 

this season’s Luisetti Seeds 

competitionhad been far from 

convincing. 

Aseries of narrow wins had 

preceded the previous week’s 

shock drawagainst alowly

Butthey made no race of it 

against Kaiapoi, turning on a 

masterclassofhow to playwetweather 

rugby and running out 

thedeserved winnersby270. 

Thematch was refereed by 

Canterbury’s top whistleblower, 

James Munro. 

Acommitted forward pack 

dominated the battle for 

possession,especially at lineout 

time, and the skilled inside back 

combination of Jordy Grayand 

Brook Retallick directed play 

expertlyand kept thelocalteam 

on attackfor virtually the whole 

match. 

Consequently,most penalties

converted them into points.

Although it is arguably unfair 

to single out individuals in what

forwards,Angus Foster,Jacob

took their opportunities, with 

Mike Keane and Corrigan

tries. 

Another feature was the

Juniors have achance to shine 

HOCKEY 

Overcast and drizzly 

conditions didn’t deter 

Rangiora Hockey Club’s Mini 

Sticks and Kiwi Sticks teams 

in their first competition 

games of the 2020 season. 

Many in theseteams were 

playing their first game of 

hockey, but it didn’t show as 

they all contributed to their 

teams’ results. 

Adele Ferguson, Ruby 

Hutchison and Aimme 

Dunlop all scored in their 

first games for the Rangiora 

Rabbits Mini Sticks team. 

But goal-scorer of the week 

was Kaylee McDonald, who 

netted five of the Platinum A 

Women's six goals in the 

side’s win over Harewood. 

With Division 2and 3 

women playing their first 

games after grading, scores 

were much closer than in 

some previous weeks. 

The Division 2women 

claimed anarrowwin over 

HSOB/Burnside, while the 

Division 3women narrowly 

lost to the Hornby Pumas. 

The Division 3men played 

one of their best games of the 

season in asolid win over 

Harewood, while both Mid 

Week men’s and women’s 

teams settled for draws. 

Meanwhile, Rangiora’s 

Division 1women's team 

continues to struggle for 

competition points, losing its 

forth game in arow by the 

slimmest margin.

From Page 32 

The victory also kept Oxford in the top 

four, with the semi-finals looming. 

The sides were 14-all at the break 

before Oxford gained some control. 

Ashley was perhaps unlucky not to 

have got up to win, but its effort again 

showed it is aside on the rise. 

Dan Brooker and Stu Feary were 

standouts in the Oxford effort and Matt 

Roberts directed possession well. 

Josh Sim was Ashley’s player of the 

day and Matt King had astandout game

Situations Vacant 

An exciting opportunity for you, or someone you know? 

Urgently require Casual Instructors 

Waipara Adventure Centre welcomes hundreds of school 

children each year for camps, as part oftheir education outside 

of the classroom. To achieve this we train instructors each 

year in all activities and duties including high ropes, abseiling, 

and rock climbing. Historically these young people have come 

from overseas on exchange as part ofagap year programme. 

However with our borders largely closed we are having to find 

anew normal. 

We are seeking energetic young people (17-22 years old), who 

are looking for an adventure. Experience in the outdoors is not 

essential, as you will be trained in all the skills you need. Youwill 

be guided in your development as an instructor to the competency 

levels expected by today’s Adventure Industry. Youneed not be 

looking for acareer in the industry. Perhaps, you are looking for 

work? An opportunity to do something different until Uni or a 

course starts? maybe you have flexible schooling or are all done? 

Or even looking for adventures here in New Zealand, while you 

wait to be able to travel again? 

If you are interested, we would love to hear from you. 

We need to be ready for the term holidays in October and will be 

working both Term 42020and Term 12021. There is likely to be 

other work over during December and January also. Youmust be 

available for the first training weekend 31 July to 2August 2020, 

with further training follow. 

For all enquiries email manager@waiparaadventure.nz or call 

William 027 334 6881. 

As aChristian Camp, Waipara Adventure Centre serves many 

parts of the community and instructors are likely to be asked to 

also work weekends and during the summer school holidays to 

invest their skills into these groups as well. Given the nature of 

the work, contracts will be structured as parttime/on demand.
