Supreme awardNEWS briefs

Project Helix, the online building consenting system developed by Selwyn District Council has been named the Supreme Award winner at the 2015 Society of Local Government Managers (SOLGM) Excellence Awards.

The project, which also won the Transforming Service Delivery category award, was developed by the council in 2012 in partnership with technology company Alpha Group.

Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe said the award acknowledges the exceptional work the council’s building consent team had put into developing the system.

“The online system allows people to lodge consent applications at any time from their office or from home and to

Spiders on showThe latest exhibition to open up at

Canterbury Museum is not one for those who suffer from arachnophobia, a fear of spiders.

The exhibition Spiders Pungawerewere Up Close features 40 of New Zealand’s more commonly-found spiders illustrated in large high quality images.

The exhibition coincides with the publication of a new book, A Photographic Guide to Spiders of New Zealand by Cor Vink and Hamilton-based wildlife and macro photographer, Bryce McQuillan.

Mr Vink, who is also the museum’s natural history curator, said that while all spiders are predators - they have to kill to survive - fear of spiders, or arachnophobia, is largely unfounded as spiders tend to shy away from human contact and, with a few exceptions, their bites are unlikely to cause anything other than pain.

Spider’s bodies, habitats and eating habits are explored in the exhibition

check on consent process online at any time,” Mayor Coe said.

“It also allows code compliance certificates to be issued onsite once a final building inspection is completed which is great for new home owners as it allows them to take possession of the property promptly.”

The new system also allows several staff to work on a consent application at the same time.

Between 2011 and 2014, building consent numbers in Selwyn increased by 45%, but under the new system average consent processing times dropped from 11 to 10.5 working days. The statutory processing time for consent applications is 20 working days.

that also features a live redback spider, one of only two spiders in New Zealand whose bite is very nasty for humans. The other is the katipo.

New Zealand has an estimated 2000 species of spiders with 93% of them found nowhere else in the world. At least 700 of these species are yet to be named.

Celebrating the SOLGM Supreme Award are, from left, Ian Butler (SDC Building Consent Manager), Vanessa Beavon (SDC Business and Training Development Leader), David Ward (SDC Chief Executive) and Keith Smith of Alpha Group.

A House Hopper spider is a jumping spider which is very common around houses from Christchurch to Auckland.

Working hard for our communities

AMY ADAMSMP FOR SELWYN

The school, which is set to open in 2017, will be built on 6.4ha of land between Goulds and Springston Rolleston roads at a cost of $53 million.

Establishment Board of Trustees (EBOT) chair Jackie Freeman said the board is pleased with the design plans.

“The design plan is aimed at getting the best use of the space we have and takes into account environmental factors.”

“The plans reflect our desire to have facilities available for our community, like an international netball sized gym and a 500 seat theatre together with adaptable spaces so all students can learn in environments that suit them.” Mrs Freeman said.

“Under the philosophy we have adopted we are looking at spaces which will take up to 125 pupils with six teachers, meaning all curriculum subjects can be taught in one area without the need for pupils to move between classrooms.

“Within these larger classrooms there will be smaller spaces to enable teachers to work with smaller groups of pupils as not all students learn in the same way.”

Milestones passed for new secondary schoolu by Kent Caddick

A significant milestone in the establishment of Rolleston’s first ever secondary school was passed this week with the release of the design plans for what is to be called Rolleston College.

Mrs Freeman said given the smaller land area they have got to work with compared to other similar schools it is not surprising the design is a two-storey structure.

“Although we have sufficient sporting grounds for regular activities we plan to work in with the Selwyn District Council to utilise Foster Park for larger sporting

events and reciprocating by allowing sporting clubs to use school grounds on the weekend when needed.”

She said they are planning for 250 Year 9 students when the school opens in 2017, increasing the number to around 450 in its second year of operation and by year three up to 700 pupils in total.

“In five years’ time we are predicting our roll will be around 1200,” she said.

“However the design is future-proofed to take up to 1800 students.”

The EBOT has just commenced advertising for applicants for the position of school principal.

Meanwhile the Government has announced it will fund another new primary school for Rolleston.

The school will have a roll capacity of 750 children for Years 1 to 8, and is forecast to open in January 2017.

The look of Rolleston’s first high school is taking shape with the release of design plans.

Winning a place at the Gallipoli centenary celebrations in the Government ballot last year, she will not be the lone family representative. Her brother also won a ballot place and the pair will bring along their mother and father, who had entered and missed out.

Both sides of the family have a connection with the spot which has forged a special place in New Zealand and Australian history. The great grandfathers are on paternal and maternal sides.

“I am looking forward to it,” Lucy said.“I found out a year ago and have been

reading some books on the campaign to find out more of its history.”

She regularly attends dawn service on Anzac Day and the experiences of Ernest Burrows and John Morrison have ‘always been part of family history’.

Walking on hallowed ground for Lincoln studentLincoln University postgraduate student Lucy Burrows is travelling to Gallipoli to walk in the footsteps of not one, but two, great grandfathers.

Her family have Ernest’s war records, but no diary, and little direct knowledge of what he went through.

“He never talked about the war,” she said.

She will be taking their medals to Anzac Cove and Chunuk Bair. Ernest was a local and joined the Canterbury Mounted Rifles. John had come from Scotland in 1910 and ended up fighting for his adopted country.

Both, who were fortunate to survive the war, were famers and farming is still in the family, based at West Eyreton.

“Ernest was taken home with dysentery and never returned to the war, while John was wounded at Passchendaele and survived the war as a prisoner of war working on a German farm.

“They told him he would be shot if he tried to leave,” Lucy said.

The Burrows family will be camping overnight with 10,000 Kiwis and

Australians to be there for the dawn service.

Lucy said going to Gallipoli will give her a different perspective on events and she is interested to see it from a Turkish viewpoint.

However, at the forefront of her mind will be remembering the two young men who walked those shores in 1915, braving the bullets and shells, and who had no idea their families would be so intertwined 100 years later.

Lucy Burrows, pictured at Lincoln University, is Gallipoli bound.

The mementoes will be included in a special Anzac display which will be open to the public following the Anzac service on Saturday. For the first time, and to mark 100 years since the Gallipoli campaign, a special Anzac Day service is being held at the refurbished Greendale Memorial Gates at the Greendale Domain.

Ian Warren, one of the organisers of the event, said the Greendale Memorial is different from others as it names all of the veterans who went to the wars rather than just those who were killed.

“This has made it possible to research their war histories,” said Mr Ian Warren, whose father is one of the WWI veterans.

Reminders wanted of those who servedu by Kent Caddick

“We have information on all but one. F. Foot is the unknown one.”

Mr Warren said of the 31 known histories, 15 came from Greendale families while 16 were working in the district, 8 of whom were from the United Kingdom.

“At the time of their enlistment 28 were farmers or farm workers, there were two carpenters, one grocer and one engine driver. Seventeen were aged between 20 and 25, 13 between 26 and 40, with one aged 41.

“Around half went to the Middle East and the others to Western Europe. At least five went to Gallipoli and one in the post war clean-up of Gallipoli. Seven of the soldiers were killed or died of disease.”

Organisers of this year’s Anzac Service in Greendale are asking for relatives of soldiers who served to bring along mementoes of those family members.

He said of the names on the Memorial Gates, Bruce, Dean, Early, Jarman, Lamb, Locker, Mills, Needham, Quinn, Ridgen, Rudd, Warren and Worsfold have descendants or relatives living in Greendale or the wider Canterbury region.

“At least four of the names have children still living. The farms that employed the farm workers included Adams, Clucas, Cullen, Dent, Ridgen, Rudd, Shipley, Socklidge and Streeter.

“It is hoped that descendants and relatives of the First World War veterans named on the gates will attend along with other local community people. Relatives are being asked to bring photos and other memoranda for a display in the Greendale Hall.”

The refurbished Greendale Memorial Gates at the Greendale Domain will be the site of an Anzac Service to mark 100 years since the Gallipoli campaign.

Anzac Day is a special day for New Zealand and a very special day for many families.

A day when we remember those who went before us, those who served, those who didn't return in the Great War and subsequent wars, including most recently Afghanistan.

This year, however, marks 100 years since the Gallipoli campaign and I find myself pausing to reflect on the fortunes of my relatives.

My grandfather, John Coe, sailed for Egypt on 14th of December 1914 and was in one of the early reinforcements to Gallipoli. He was wounded, evacuated, and returned to New Zealand where he was discharged from the army on the 16th of February 1916.

He was probably lucky to have been wounded as if he had survived Gallipoli and been posted to the Western Front in mid-1916 he may well not have returned and I wouldn't be here today.

My great uncle Ralph Coe on the other hand did survive Gallipoli and was reassigned to the Field Artillery and served in France. He was hospitalised several times with illness and eventually evacuated to England where he died of stomach cancer in June 1917.

Illness and disease claimed a significant number of the casualties particularly in WW1 as was the experience of another great uncle on my grandmother's side.

William Chamberlain enlisted on the 27th June 1916 and was sent to Trentham for training. Whilst there he contacted measles followed by pneumonia and died on the 14th of August 1916 aged 21 without ever leaving the country.

Many other families will have similar stories whether their relatives served in the New Zealand armed forces or those of other countries.

These stories are currently being published in our local newspapers and seeing the names in print brings home to us how many lives and how many families were affected by these events.

Anzac Day is the day we remember their sacrifice.

We shall remember them

by Amy Adams, Selwyn MP

This year Anzac Day is especially poignant as 2015 marks the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign in which 2,779 New Zealanders lost their lives.

Our nation also lost many more of our men on the battlefields of the Western Front in Belgium and France.

During World War I, 10 per cent out of our population of one million people served overseas. In communities all over our region, families had to get by without their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons who took up the call to arms.

Over the course of the Great War from 1914 to 1918, more than 18,000 New Zealanders died and over 40,000 were wounded.

A time for reflectionThe reality was that many of these

men were very young, in fact younger than my son is now. These men died fighting for the freedom and values this country holds dear and most commentators agree that the Gallipoli campaign marked a turning point in New Zealand’s history as an independent nation.

This is why we commemorate Anzac Day – not to celebrate the horrors of war, but to reflect on the sacrifices of our soldiers and their courage and determination. And while we may often be the worst of enemies on the sports fields, it is also a time to recognise the significance of the special Anzac relationship we share with Australia.

This year I will be commemorating Anzac Day by attending a number of services around Selwyn, including the dawn parade at Burnham, followed by services at the Sheffield cenotaph, Rolleston and Lincoln.

There are many other services taking place around the district so there is almost sure to be one in your local community that you can attend.

Otherwise make sure you wear your poppy with pride. That way, we and our future generations will ensure that we do not forget.

After battling cancer, earthquakes and fire the couple have settled themselves and their business on a two acre block adjacent to the Racecourse Hill homestead on the main road just north of Darfield.

“It’s just fantastic to be living here after what we have been through,” said Sue, who has just received her five year clearance following a battle with cancer.

“Five years ago I never would have thought we would be living out in the country and running our business from such a beautiful spot.”

Sue’s husband Brian is one of the leading auto and marine upholsterers in the country, specialising in vintage and classic cars, with customers coming from all over New Zealand to take advantage of his skills.

Brian first became involved in the industry as a 15-year-old, undertaking a five year apprenticeship with Goslin Auto and Marine Upholstery in his home town of Christchurch before working full time for the company.

In 2007 he and Sue decided to branch out on their own opening up Advanced Upholstery in a Cashel Street workshop.

Like many Cantabrians their lives were turned upside down on February 22, 2011, when their workshop was badly damaged by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake.

Sue and Brian Stockdale are enjoying their lives following a move to Racecourse Hill.

u by Kent Caddick

Battling couple finally settling downFor Racecourse Hill couple Sue and Brian Stockdale moving to Selwyn has seen their lives take a turn for the better.

“In some ways we were lucky as none of the vehicles we were working on suffered any damage,” Brian said.

The pair quickly realised that if the business was to survive they would need to look elsewhere for premises.

While Brian salvaged what was left of the business and began working in the premises of a Rolleston based bus company which was one of his clients, Sue hitched up a caravan to the car and went looking for a place to restart the business.

“We knew it would be some time before people would be wanting to bring their cars into Christchurch again to have work done,” Sue said.

Eventually Sue came across a workshop in Ashburton and in March of 2012 the couple had set up business in a building in Robinson Street

But in December of that year bad luck struck again when the workshop was destroyed in a fire and the couple lost everything.

“That really did our heads in,” Brian said.

“I had reached a stage that I really didn’t want to start up the business again but we received some great support from family and friends as well as our customers.”

The couple had long harboured dreams of a Gypsy lifestyle and struck on the idea of taking the business mobile. After searching for a suitable vehicle Brian and his brother in law Tom Jeffrey flew to Warkworth north of Auckland to purchase a truck which was converted into a mobile workshop.

While that enabled Brian to restart

the business the couple also wanted to be to set down some roots and began to look for a more permanent base.

“We looked at premises in Rolleston but then saw this property at Racecourse Hill on TradeMe and while it was overgrown we could see the potential in it and snapped it up,” Sue said.

Now Sue is able to indulge her passion for gardening and landscaping while Brian is once again attracting vintage and classic vehicle owners from all over the country to their new Selwyn base.

They have also developed a mini caravan park on the property to allow motorhome and caravan owners to park up while Brian works on their vehicles.

The couple paid tribute to the Selwyn District Council and the local Darfield community for helping them restart their business and their lives.

“The council have been fantastic , nothing has been a problem and they have been extremely helpful in getting the workshop built and running our business from home, while the locals have been so welcoming,” Brian said.

ANZAC Day Saturday 25th April

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

The regiment was assigned to the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade, and formed part of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force serving alongside serving alongside two other mounted regiments - the Auckland Mounted Rifles and the Wellington Mounted Rifles.

Selwyn had a history of soldiers on horseback with the Malvern Mounted Rifles, Amuri Mounted Rifles and the Ellesmere Mounted Rifles being formed around the time of the Boer War (1899-1902).

The three came together to help form the Canterbury Mounted Rifles Regiment (CMR) under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel John Findlay.

The CMR was established with 26 officers, 523 other ranks and 600 horses.

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

On October 14 they boarded the transports again and set sail finally reaching Alexandria, Egypt on December 4.

u by Kent Caddick

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

Their first involvement came in the Gallipoli Campaign between May and December 1915, during which they participated in the largest battle of that theatre at Chunuk Bair.

When it was sent to Gallipoli the CMR left its horses behind in Egypt and the men fought in the same manner as

their counterparts in the New Zealand infantry battalions.

Evacuated to Egypt, they then took part in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign from 1916 to 1918.

In Sinai and Palestine the mounted rifles were valued for their ability to patrol and carry out reconnaissance

Officers of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles photographed before their departure in 1914.

Serving their country in foreign fields

over a much larger area than could be covered on foot.

During the four years of war the regiment lost 334 men (dead from all causes), while another 720 were wounded or debilitated.

The regiment was disbanded in June 1919.

Greendale brothers George and Dorsey Warren along with their cousin Frank Rudd enlisted alongside recent arrivals to the district, brothers Jack and Fred Huggins from England, for their opportunity to serve King and country.

The Warren brothers and their cousin Frank all worked on their father’s farms while the Huggins’ brothers, who came from St Ives in Huntingdon, England, were working in the district, Jack for the Warrens and Fred for the Rudd family.

George Warren along with the Juggins brothers embarked for the war on the 14th of August 1915 as members of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles which was part of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade and served at Gallipoli

and the Middle East in Egypt, the Sinai and Palestine.

As they were slightly younger Dorsey Warren and Frank Rudd arrived in the conflict a little later than the rest leaving for the Middle East on the 19th April 1917 where they served in the Sinai and Palestine.

The photograph of the Warren brothers with Frank Rudd and Jack Huggins used alongside this article was probably taken not after the younger men arrived in the Middle East and were reunited with the other Greendale men.

All but one survived the conflict. At the very end of the war Frank Rudd died of disease in Palestine and is buried in the Kantara War Memorial Cemetery in Egypt.

Brothers in arms more than comrades at waru by Kent Caddick

For some who served in World War 1 the term ‘brothers in arms’ was more than just an epithet to signal soldiers fighting together it was a statement of family ties.

Dorsey Warren was a member of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles.

His passing was probably reflected in comments made by George Warren in a letter home to his mother.

“You were saying it would be a happy year, if Peace was declared. My word, it would to us over here. Still we must consider what an awful cost of life Peace will be bought at.

I always have thought that the Home coming of the troops will be one of the saddest parts of the war as well as the most joyful.

Those people who have lost relations and friends don’t miss them at present for they would be away all the same, whether they were killed or not. It is when other folk are rejoicing at the return of their soldiers that the absence of the lost ones will be noticed and the saddest moments felt.”

At the end of the war on the 13th November 1918 the men of the Canterbury regiment handed in their horses and left Palestine for the last time.

However, before Dorsey Warren travelled home he went back to Gallipoli where he was involved in clearing the battlefield and laying to rest the fallen soldiers.

At this time Dorsey Warren wrote home.

“When you see where they landed and the trenches they held you wonder how any of them came out alive, for at whatever position you look, you see that the Turks held the high ground overlooking our trenches.

It isn’t exactly the pleasantest of places to visit either, as it is practically one vast cemetery, and the ground is

covered by bones everywhere you look. Parties of our fellows, however are busy straightening the place up, and before long everything will be as it should.

A number of the fellows have been able to fix up the graves of their old mates, and that in itself is easily worth the trip over here.”

The Warren and Juggins brothers survived the war. Jack Juggins, who was awarded the Military Medal for his service, returned for a short time to New Zealand before disappearing to the Pacific Islands, while Fred eventually returned to England.

In the early 1990s Fred Juggins’ granddaughter visited New Zealand from England and met up with Dorsey Warren’s son Ian, and his wife Ruth, in Greendale.

To her surprise she was given a trunk that had been left by Jack Huggins, her great uncle, at the Warren farm. It contained his army uniform and many photos. The two families have continued their contact to this day.

Ian Warren said his father hardly ever spoke about the war and it wasn’t until after he had died that he came across the letters his aunts had, from both his uncle George and father Dorsey, that he learnt of their war experiences.

“They relay at first the excitement of the war and then its deathly realities and their yearning for the green pastures of home,” Ian said.

“They are an account of a war that many of them never spoke about again because it was too difficult to share. The comradeship they forged with their fellow soldiers was to last throughout their lifetime.”

This photograph, taken in Palestine in 1917, is of four soldiers from the Greendale district of Selwyn who fought on the battlefields of WWI. From left: Frank Rudd (21 years), Jack Juggins (26), George Warren (23) and Dorsey Warren (21).

Much has been written about the lemon detox diet and its uses as a weight loss programme is widely debated but there is general agreement to its value as a way to detox the body.

One of the most important purposes of the diet is to reduce, if not completely eliminate the accumulation of waste in the digestive tract.

The lemon diet drink acts like a liquid brush that scrapes off the waste in order to allow the digestive system to function at an optimal level once again.

To make the lemon drink just four ingredients are needed.

• Freshly squeezed lemon juice• Organic maple syrup• Cayenne pepper• Pure waterThe amount of lemon drink you should

consume depends largely on what detox mode you want, whether that be a full body cleanse, a short sharp cleanse or somewhere in between.

Have you noticed the frustration that goes with trying to communicate with someone who is not responding in the way you would like or imagined.

Maybe the wires were crossed somewhere in the process or maybe they were just being unresponsive or argumentative. Perhaps they misunderstood or disagreed in a way that was destructive to your relationship.

So the question is how to maintain our relationships and still get what we want?

Often we feel that we are good at getting our point across – articulate, precise, genuine, caring. We may be all these things but still not be getting the results we expect. It may be that we are unwittingly placing roadblocks in the way.

The most effective form of change comes from within the other person – you were just the catalyst.

Making sure you check with them that you understood their point of view correctly will help them to feel heard and valued. It doesn’t necessarily mean you agree with them.

u by Anna Dalzell, www.change.net.nz

Every time we communicate with someone else we put our relationships on the line.

Anna Dalzell, Dip Tchg, is a NLP Master Practitioner and NZANLP coach based in Darfield, and can be contacted at 0800 2CHANGE or online at www.change.net.nz

Miscommunication can put personal relationships in danger.

Communication for harmony

Some key steps of good communication are: • Connection. Paying careful

attention to the other person, using open ended questions, and paraphrasing their points will open the door.

• Buy in. Finding any point of shared value will go a long way towards them getting on board and considering what you have to say. What do you both agree on or believe in?

• Problem ownership. Most people sort for who’s right and who’s wrong instead of who’s happy and who’s not happy. Being clear about who owns the problem and what the needs of each person are, allows for opportunities to come up with ways for both of you to get what you need.

• Resolution. Notice that compromise is not the same as a win/win. If one person feels they had to compromise more than the other they can be left with feelings of resentment.

How can you both get your most basic need met?

Remember that there is no chance of resolving any conflict when anyone’s pulse is over 95 beats per minute.

Taking time out to calm yourself is your best chance of getting through with your relationship intact. Choose your moment and your words carefully – it is a lot easier to move forward if you don’t have to clean up the collateral damage first.

A knife so sharp it’s scary ADVERTORIAL

For most farmers, fishermen and hunters having a sharp knife is one of the most important tools of the trade.

Various tools and machines are available to put an edge back on a blade but one the most effective ways to keep a knife sharp is by regularly honing it on a wet or oil stone.

The key to using a stone effectively is to maintain a constant angle as you hone the blade. This is difficult, almost impossible, to achieve manually, which is why most knives are never as sharp as they could be.

That has now all changed following the invention of the Scary Sharp constant angle sharpening system by innovative Kiwi Geoff Furborough.

Geoff, a keen hunter, has an obvious need for super sharp knives and applied his mechanical and engineering skills to come up with a simple yet highly effective way to maintain a constant angle when sharpening blades.

He grew up on a dairy farm in the King Country in the 1950s and often watched his father prepare the homekill.

“Saturday afternoon we always milked early as after milking Dad killed a sheep to provide the next week’s meat,” Geoff says.

“So Friday night the two knives were sharpened, one for the throat cutting and one for the skinning. No TV and

no pressure on the time to carry out the basics of providing the weekly meat supply, but the rules on the sharpened knives were very strict. ‘You kids are to never touch those knives’ Dad would say.”

Like many clever devices, the Scary Sharp tool is based on a fairly simple concept.

The original system is basically a stainless steel frame with a sharpening stone set at a desired pre-set angle to suit the knife edge. A machined nylon block supplied with the kit can alter the angle of the stone for final honing of the cutting edge.

“The original system got us started but has a disadvantage in that the user has to rely on eyeball accuracy as the knife needs to clamped and then re-clamped to sharpen the second side,” Geoff says.

The Precision Series sharpening system has eliminated this problem as the knife is clamped once in a robust knife carrier, which can be set at three different angles, and the entire carrier is rotated thus eliminating the need to remove the knife before achieving the desired level of sharpness.

Both models are available and are designed to fit in a vice or to be bolted or screwed to the edge of workbench.

Operation is simple, meaning even unskilled users can create a perfect edge to their knives, satisfied owners of the Scary Sharp system are now

The blade is held in place by the rotating clamp.

suggesting the process of turning a blunt knife into a terrifyingly sharp item has definite therapeutic qualities.

“Several farmers now have on their list of jobs for wet days – to sharpen the farm knives and the household knives,” Geoff says.

Scary Sharp is manufactured by Hawera Rewinds Limited, a small North Island business involved in the electric motor industry with some engineering manufacturing capabilities.

RECORD-APR15

It will take most of the winter to get soil moisture levels back to normal, when you look at the evapotranspiration rate of 2-4mm/24 hours over the last month.

What rain fell in many places in March was evaporated in only a few days, so the ‘autumn flush’ is yet to arrive although things may look green and that’s often called a ‘green drought’. Right now it’s all about pasture recovery, which depends on what fills the rain gauge.

Last year, pasture recovery after the rains was surprisingly good when it seemed that pastures would be completely dead, resulting in ‘pasture renovation’ being pushed hard by companies selling seed.

So before you make any decisions about what to do to renovate any pastures this month – wait and see what grows back, as full pasture renovation is an expensive business if you use the full treatment of spraying out the old pasture, and then cultivating before sowing.

There is always a mass of old seed (called hard seed) in the soil, which has dropped out of seed heads over the years. If you take a sample of soil from the top 50mm and shake it up with water, note what grass and clover seeds float to the top.

Managing the drought fallout on pasturesIt’s going to be another challenging autumn in many places to say the least.u by Dr Clive Dalton, www.lifestyleblock.co.nz

These will grow although it may take a bit longer to germinate than any new seed applied. During this slow germination period, weeds of all kinds will grow like mad and you may never see any new grass. These must be controlled – by hand if there are not too many.

The cheapest option is to spread new grass and clover seed over the paddock and roll it into the ground surface with a ribbed ‘Cambridge’ roller, which can only work after rain when the ground is soft. This is called ‘over sowing’.

A much better way is to get new seed drilled into the soil (usually called ‘under

sowing’), and preferably after spraying out any old grasses and weeds which will smother any new tillers and young clover plants.

It’s best to add a general fertiliser at the time of seeding, and maybe a light dressing (25kg N/ha) of Nitrogen fertiliser (Urea) when the new grass plants are about 500mm high if they turn yellow and stop growing.

With dry summers becoming the norm, we really need to look at growing more ‘forage crops’, which produce large yields which can be made into silage.

In the past, deep-rooted plants such as lupins and lucerne were used but

seem to have gone out of fashion. They need to be revived but need skill to grow and are not for continuous grazing.

The way dry seasons are repeating themselves in many part of the country, means that you can never have enough hay and silage on hand, as supplements are needed in summer and autumn as well as winter.

Pasture supplements this year will be precious, so avoiding waste when feeding out. Stock can be very picky so make them clean up before you feed the next lot. With hay, it’s often a good idea to feed it in a hayrack so it can be moved and the leftovers cleaned up.

Patience maybe required when determining when to renovate any pasture

Rangitata Diversion Race Management Ltd (RDRML) is giving neighbouring company Rangitata Water Ltd four cumecs of their consented supply from the Rangitata River to help the latter fill their irrigation storage ponds.

While it’s not the first time RDRML has done this it is the first time water has been ‘donated’ during the peak irrigation season – traditionally a period of high water demand. The RDRML also provided water during summer and last winter to top Rangitata Water Ltd’s ponds up.

“We’ve been able to do it over the past couple of weeks because irrigation demand has softened and because Highbank Power Station was offline for maintenance,” RDRML CEO Ben Curry said.

“So often the perception of water companies is that we are at war and can’t work together. Sharing resources isn’t something the irrigation sector is known for but it’s becoming more common as we all realise the importance

An unprecedented water sharing arrangement in Mid Canterbury has seen two independent water infrastructure companies work together this season to extend water supply for local irrigators.

of spreading the resource around and ensuring everyone can use their allocation as effectively as possible.

“At the end of the day we all want the same thing which is to increase the reliability of supply for our customers, whether they be farmers, stock water users or the hydro generation industry.”

Meanwhile, Gary Rooney, Director of Rangitata Water said having access to RDRML water has come at a critical time.

“Being able to access four cumecs recently has been a huge benefit as we rely on high flows to fill the ponds and with this season’s drought there haven’t been many to count on.

“We’d like to thank RDRML for providing access to this water as it has enabled our irrigators to continue watering during a very difficult season.”

Mr Rooney said the two companies will continue to work collaboratively sharing consented water when appropriate in the future.

“RDRML has been supportive this season and we’ll support them where we can as we all want the same goal,

Rangitata Diversion Race Management chief executive Ben Curry says sharing resources is becoming more common between water companies.

Water from the Rangitata Diversion Race Management network is being used to help fill a rival company’s irrigation storage ponds.

which is to ensure reliable water for our communities,” says Mr Rooney.

The reciprocal agreement, which is allowed under both companies’ consent conditions, also allows Rangitata Water to similarly assist RDRML in the future.

RDRML is planning a large water storage facility which will provide even greater reliability for local customers. The company has revealed plans to build a new storage pond near its Klondyke intake in February.

• Plant more roses. Winter is an ideal time to plant. More roses arrive in garden centres in early spring.

• Mix compost and fertiliser into the soil at planting time. For each rose bush, dig a generous planting hole and mix through a bucketful of compost, plus slow- release fertiliser or well-composted animal manure.

• Trim any damaged roots, then soak the roots in a bucket of water while you prepare the ground. (For bare root roses only).

• Trim new bush roses at planting time. These have often been trimmed mechanically. Cut each branch near the top, just above a bud.

• Lay organic mulch under roses to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

• Prune roses in winter, all except old-fashioned roses that flower only once a year in early summer. These roses should be pruned immediately after flowering (if at all) to give new flowering wood time to grow. Wait until August in cold climates.

• Use clean sharp secateurs.

• Cut on an angle, about 5mm above a bud facing in a direction you want the bush to grow. Angle the cut away from the bud to prevent water running into it.

• Wear gloves when pruning, preferably long ones to protect your arms.

• Clean away all leaf debris from under the roses. This is a refuge for pests and diseases.

• Spray after pruning with a copper spray mixed with spraying oil to minimise disease problems.
