“Term one has been very busy and we are looking forward to a fun run, lots of science, and developing our worm farm next term,” she said.

“We will also hold the first elections for our new board of trustees, as the term for the establishment board comes to an end.

“There has been a lot of interest from our parent community who are also

busy forming our first PTA and will be responsible for the hire of our gym and gym kitchen facilities.”

Ms Fidow said they have received great support from the wider community and the work of the establishment board of trustees had been outstanding.

“The board, and in particular chairman Simon McDermott, have been fabulous and have negotiated effectively with the Ministry of Education.”

Under existing rules, where there are rivers with open speed areas, anybody can exceed five knots but under the proposed bylaw, to exceed 5 knots, jet boat owners will need to apply to the Harbourmaster for an exemption.

ECan’s Acting Regional Harbourmaster Ian Fox said the measure is aimed at making the waterways safe for all water-users.

Mr Fox said 99.9% of the issues the harbourmaster investigates involve boaties that are not part of a boating club.

“The true aim of the draft bylaw is to improve the safety of Canterbury rivers for all water-users,” he said.

The Draft Navigation Safety Bylaw is out for consultation and submissions close at 5pm May 2. Submission forms can be found on the Environment Canterbury website.

TVNZ placed second, and the New Zealand Customs Service in third place. Seven of the top 10 most attractive companies to work for are from the public or education and training services sectors.

Other organisations in the top 10 included the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (4th), The University of Auckland (5th) and Massey University (6th).

The Randstad Award, which recognises those organisations that New Zealanders find the most attractive, was presented in front of senior executives from New Zealand’s top 20 most attractive employers.

Randstad New Zealand Country Manager Brien Keegan, said the Department of Conservation has been consistently recognised as one of the top five most attractive employers in New Zealand for the past four years, having won the supreme award two years running, and placing third and fifth in 2014 and 2013 respectively.

“The Department of Conservation continues to be recognised as one of the country’s top employers,” Mr Keegan said.

Best employerThe Department of Conservation (DOC) has again received the top accolade for the Most Attractive Employer at the annual Randstad Award held at Seafarers in Auckland this evening.

“This is demonstrated by it being ranked number one by respondents when it came to a ‘pleasant working atmosphere’, providing a ‘good work-life balance’, and being ‘environmentally and socially aware’.

“DOC was also very popular across the board, with young and mature workers in both the North and South Island rating it as the most attractive place to work in New Zealand.”

Of all the sectors, the key movers in 2016 include media, which jumped up three places from fifth to second, and the banking and financial services sector (28.5%), which moved from sixth to fourth.

The Lions Club has donated funds to the Weedons Country Club for the purchase of a portable defibrillator, which can deliver a life-saving electric shock to someone who has suffered a heart attack.

Chris Logan of Rolleston Lions said the device will be able to be used by anyone in the Weedons community.

“While it will be housed at the Weedons Country Club it can be used by anyone using the Weedons Domain and golf club, whether that be people playing sport or just walking their dog.

“It will also be there for the wider community including the school to use should the need arise.

“We had been looking to help fund a defibrillator for some time and when the Weedons Country Club approached us we gladly agreed to help them as this is the ideal spot for the device.

“If this able to save one life then it has been worthwhile,” Mr Logan said.

President of the Weedons Country Club Bruce Corbett said they were delighted when Rolleston Lions agreed to help them in acquiring a

Lawn watering restrictions for properties connected to council water supplies, which were imposed to aid water conservation over the summer, were lifted across Selwyn this week.

"The restrictions have been lifted as cooler weather and shorter daylight hours have helped reduce the demand for water," Selwyn District Council’s water services asset manager Murray England said.

“Groundwater levels across the district remain very low and in many locations levels are continuing to decline.

"For example in West Melton, an area of high water demand, our monitoring

Watering restrictions in Selwyn have come to an end but there is growing concern for the longevity of some of the district’s water supplies.

data shows that groundwater levels have been declining continually since winter 2014, and are currently 30 metres lower than two years ago," Mr England said.

"We are also monitoring a number of other wells at key locations where we are seeing prolonged decline in groundwater levels. Depending on conditions some wells may require re-drilling to ensure continuity of water supply."

Mr England said the declining groundwater levels are being observed throughout Canterbury and are contributing to other effects such as reduced flows in lowland streams.

“Soil moisture deficit has also been much higher during the past summer,

in comparison to last year and to historical averages for the region. These environmental conditions are an added pressure on the council's water supply infrastructure.

“We are continuing to plan for and provide additional capacity to accommodate the district's growth, but it's also important that the community helps through smart water use and conservation."

Mr England said in the coming year new reservoirs are planned for Rolleston, West Melton and Lincoln to provide additional storage capacity, while a new well will be developed in Prebbleton.

Selwyn District Council’s water services asset manager Murray England says groundwater levels across the district are very low and in many locations levels are continuing to decline.

The awards, run by the Selwyn District Council, are presented every two years to individuals, businesses and groups or organisations who ‘live, work or play’ in Selwyn.

The awards celebrate outstanding achievements in nine categories: arts and culture, agri-business, community service, environmental, large business, small business, sport, tourism, and young achiever.

Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe said this is an opportunity for people to think about who they would like to see recognised through the awards.

“We have fantastic talents in Selwyn and these awards are presented to individuals, organisations and businesses in Selwyn to honour and celebrate outstanding work, or inspirational achievements.

“With nine categories there is an opportunity for everyone to be involved in celebrating success in Selwyn."

In 2014 there were 61 nominations for the awards, and over 300 people attended a gala awards dinner that year.

Sensational nominations wanted Nominations are wanted for the biennial Sensational Selwyn Awards.

Nominations close on Friday, June 14 and all nominees will be celebrated at the Gala Dinner and Awards ceremony which will be held at the Lincoln Event Centre on Saturday, July 30.

These things include residents having social interactions with others within their community, and allowing people to feel a stronger sense of acceptance and belonging through connecting with their communities.

This is why the Selwyn Youth Council’s role is not only to voice the opinions of the youth of Selwyn, and to get young people more involved in the community, but also to connect with the entire community, irrespective of differences in age, wealth, ethnicity and gender.

This is why we have implemented many social initiatives, such as drive-in movies, which are aimed at the

entire community. ‘Meet Your Street’ is a further

example which is aimed around people getting to know and connect with their neighbours. Over summer we travelled to 34 different locations around Selwyn, with our Pop Up Café, serving free beverages to over 700 residents.

The feedback we received from ‘Meet Your Street’ was astounding as adults get to see young people actively contributing to their community.

One of the people we served commented that it was, ‘lovely to see such nice young people interacting with locals’, while another said it was

‘really nice to meet people and great to see the Youth Council’.

We are also committed to helping out other community groups, such as the Selwyn Parenting Network, in achieving the shared goal of a closer knit community full of socially thriving and mentally healthy human beings.

We look forward to creating more initiatives and running more events aimed to promote our goal, through our ‘Passion Projects,’ which will be occurring throughout 2016.

Connecting with the communitySigns of a healthy thriving community range from things like public safety and accessible education, to often overlooked social aspects that can be a make or break when it comes to the health and wellbeing of residents.

The workshops, on using mobility scooters and the other on life after the car, are being held at the Darfield Community and Recreation Centre on Thursday.

The workshops are being supported by Selwyn District Council and Age Concern Canterbury.

Selwyn Road Safety coordinator Ngaire Tinning said the mobility scooter forum will include advice on buying and maintaining a scooter, and practical safety tips on using a scooter on the footpaths and roads such as wearing a fluro safety vest.

“The ‘life without a car’ workshop will give residents who no longer drive or are considering ceasing to drive in the near future some tips on getting about for daily shopping, appointments and keeping up those important social activities.”

The mobility scooter workshop starts at 10.00am followed by a lunch break with the ‘life without a car’ workshop starting at 12.30pm.

The first meeting of the Active Living Research Canterbury Working Group was held at the Selwyn District Council recently.

The group, established by health and exercise lecturer Dr Catherine Elliot, includes transport professionals from the Christchurch City and Selwyn District councils and health experts from the Canterbury District Health Board and Ara Institute of Canterbury.

“We aim to have four meetings a year and the group brings together a wide range of experts to discuss how best to encourage active transport in the community,” Dr Elliot said.

“Convincing more people to cycle can be difficult, partly because our transport networks are designed to prioritise cars ahead of other modes of transportation.”

Dr Elliot said the current transport system has unintentionally neglected those who are unable to drive, such as the disabled, the elderly, and people

who can’t afford a car. “As well as this, it has decreased the

perceived safety of cycling. For those earning middle-class incomes and above, cars are the only real option in the eyes of the majority.”

She said it was also tough to change people’s behaviour when the human brain is hard-wired to operate on autopilot, which reinforces our habits.

“The habit of driving to work tends to override our greatest intentions to try other modes of transport, such as biking.”

Dr Elliot initiated New Zealand’s first rural-based bike share scheme at Lincoln University in 2015.

Since late last year, three bicycles have been stationed outside the campus library and can be hired at any time by staff, students and community members.

The programme is run via an app known as Nextbike, a version of

Dr Catherine Elliot (front) and Lincoln University staff members, Sophie Prangnell and Kimberley Forbes, on the three bicycles stationed outside the campus library.

The school sent a team of 13 athletes to the duathlon champs, which were held at the Motukarara Raceway and attended by over 20 primary schools in the Lincoln Zone Cluster.

The Duathlon consisted of a run, bike and another run.

The 9 and 10 year olds ran 2km, bike 6km, run 1km, while the 11 and 12 year olds run 2km, bike 6km, run 1km.

“For many of our students, this was the first time they had participated in this type of event, and it was great to see them encourage each other, showing both sportsmanship and resilience,” teacher aide Rita Spadoni said.

“Our team provided a lot of extra marshals, helping with putting bikes away and cone collection at the end. The students all enjoyed themselves immensely and are looking forward to the Canterbury Duathlon in May.”

Placings for the West Melton athletes were: 9yr Girls: Stacey M 1st, Jody Mc 7th; 9yr Boys: Ben A 3rd

Jim B 10th, Harrison O 18th; 10yr Girls: Isla Mc 2nd, Daisy M 7th, Molly L 14th; 10yr Boys: Oliver N 15th, Hamish E 18th=; 11yr Boys: Jed Mc 3rd, Alex V 6th, Ezra S 11th.

which is used for similar schemes throughout Europe and at bike share locations in Auckland, Cambridge and Christchurch.

“Access to the bikes might encourage residents in rural areas to prioritise active living,” Dr Elliot said.

“This is particularly important for short trips to town that actually take longer after considering walking to the car and finding parking.”

She is also undertaking a case study whereby a Lincoln University staff member who normally drives to work will take part in a ‘Park and Go’ programme, driving as far as Prebbleton and cycling the rest of the way to Lincoln.

Her physiology will be measured over a period of three months in order to track the positive changes that occur during the study.

“Finding out how beneficial a cycling routine is can really motivate people to continue,” Dr Elliot said.

Under the proposed plan a general rate rise of 3% plus targeted rate changes means the overall average rate rise per ratepayer for 2016-17 is around 4%.

The plan also outlines projects that have changed from what was proposed for the coming year in council's 10-year Long Term Plan, which was adopted last year.

"Our annual plan includes a busy work programme for the next year as the council responds to the growth of our community," Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe said.

they receive and as a result of property revaluations carried out in late 2015.

The plan says some rural and commercial properties may experience higher rates increases due to the impact of the recent property revaluations.

The plan highlights local projects planned for around the district in the coming financial year.

Ellesmere Ward projects include purchasing land to extend Southbridge Park and restoring Cemetery Pit, completing further work on the Leeston stormwater upgrade and building a new community centre at Dunsandel.

In Malvern, McHughs Forest Park will continue to be developed, and a major water treatment plant upgrade at Springfield is planned along with improvements to Arthur's Pass Community Centre.

A new community and recreation centre will be built at West Melton in the Selwyn Central Ward, with further development at Foster Park and Reids Pit for recreational use, and the installation of new reservoirs at Rolleston and West Melton to provide more water storage capacity.

In Springs Ward building is expected to get underway on a new community facility at Tai Tapu, while a new sewerage pump station, rising main and new well will be constructed at Prebbleton. A new water reservoir will also be developed at Lincoln to provide more water storage capacity.

Lawn watering restrictions for properties connected to Council water supplies across Selwyn have been lifted from Wednesday 20 April.

Residents can now water their lawns at any time – but should consider watering after 9pm and before 6am. This is when demand is lowest and conditions are best for water to soak into the ground, reducing the amount of water needed.

Groundwater levels remain very low. If these conditions continue, water restrictions are likely to be re-imposed in the spring.

The Council thanks residents for their assistance in reducing water demand during the summer.

This is the 19th year Environment Canterbury has organised wilding volunteer days, helped by the Waimakariri Ecological and Landscape Restoration Alliance (WELRA).

Tramping club members and business representatives were among volunteers who used saws and loppers to attack lone trees on outer edges of wilding blocks. This followed up on spraying of denser blocks from a helicopter and by ground-based contractors.

Volunteer efforts help prevent weed plants invading native grasslands and herb fields, spectacular limestone landscapes, ski-fields and farmland.

Environment Canterbury biosecurity manager Graham Sullivan said the volunteers are vital to halting spread from 4000 hectares of Flock Hill, reached from alpine SH73 between Castle Hill and Lake Pearson.

Mr Sullivan ranks wilding pines as the number one pest plant threat in Canterbury and said a co-ordinated national approach is needed to contain its spread.

Nick Ledgard, former forest researcher and a wilding expert, said DOC research had shown that in the eastern South Island wilding control was cost-effective because they are easier to eradicate than most other pest plants.

“Without two decades of control efforts, contorta would be invasive between Porters Pass and Lake Lyndon,” he said.

This Anzac Day is a chance for us to reflect on the effects of a war which touched the lives of every New Zealand family and to honour our veterans’ contribution to the peace, freedom and security our country enjoys today.

A century ago this month the Government of the day announced a half-day holiday to be known as ‘Anzac Day’ would be established on the 25th of April.

Anzac Day services offered an opportunity for our communities to come together and remember those who had lost their lives and reflect on the enormous impact the First World War had had on our population of just over one million.

As time has passed Anzac Day has come to symbolise not only a recognition of those who lost their lives at Gallipoli but of all our servicemen and women who have served at various conflicts and contributed to peacekeeping efforts over the years.

Remembrance services will once again be held across the country, with the national service being held in Wellington. 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 Darfield, West

Honouring the sacrifices of our veterans by Amy Adams, Selwyn MP

Melton and Templeton.This is the second of four years of

commemorations marking the Great War. In September we will turn our attention to marking the centenary of the horrific Battle of the Somme, where 6000 of our soldiers were wounded and 2000 were killed.

The contribution that New Zealand made in France during the First World War in 1916 will be commemorated overseas across three services.

I encourage you all to reflect on our country’s experience of war and military conflict and to honour the more than 30,000 New Zealanders who have died as a result, and the more than 300,000 who have served their country.

We owe a debt of gratitude to those who have served our country to protect the ideals we hold dear.

“Lest we forget.”

Following the war, a war, any war, there is chaos and turmoil and you only have to look at Syria and Iraq today to see the damage done.

There are the casualties of war - the dead, wounded and injured, both physically and mentally. When the dust settles there are the gaps around the family table - fathers, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters and children - those who are no longer with us.

The physical damage is cleared away, streets are cleared, damaged buildings demolished and the physical rebuild starts. A bit like what we have experienced in Christchurch and Canterbury recently.

Some families return to their homes, others move away to resettle as migrants in a new district or country, but the people damage, the people pain, takes a lot longer to heal, and

Gaps around the tableby Kelvin Coe, Selwyn Mayor

for some people it never heals. So the effects are profound and long term.

In 10 years, 20 years, a city can be rebuilt but it can take two generations to fill those gaps around the table, be that 50 years or 70 years to again have a full complement of grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren around the family table.

The price or cost of war is high by whatever count you take, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight to preserve the values and principles we hold dear. On Anzac Day we remember those that did just that, who fought to uphold those principles.

So as time fills those gaps round the table let’s not forget the sacrifice of those who served and particularly those that gave their lives so we can enjoy the lives we live today.

“We shall remember them.”

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 (!899-1902).

The three came together to form the 1st Mounted Rifles (Canterbury Yeomanry Cavalry) and along with the 8th (South Canterbury) Mounted Rifles and the 10th (Nelson) Mounted Rifles became 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. With a short stop at Hobart reached Colombo on November 15.

Two days later it sailed into the Red Sea, and the Suez Canal. Docking at Port Said on December 2 and Alexandria the next day, the regiment disembarked on December 4 and boarded a train for their camp in the Cairo suburb of Zeitoun where they started a training programme.

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 and the fighting for Hill 60.

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. The early battles they were involved in included those at Romani, Gaza and Beersheba. Later in the war they were part of the force which occupied the Jordan Valley.

In Sinai and Palestine the mounted rifles were valued for their ability to patrol and carry out reconnaissance over a much larger area than could be covered on foot.

Their final wartime operation was in connection with the capture of the Turkish Fourth Army.

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.

‘Who you turn to for tyres’

In a new initiative, the New Zealand Returned and Services Association (RSA) will use some of the funds collected in this month’s Poppy Appeal to help an injured veteran get a specially-trained assistance dog.

Veteran Dion Taka and his wife Frances are in line to be the first in New Zealand to take on a disability assistance dog specially trained to perform tasks and support a veteran with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.

Dion was seriously wounded in the Battle of Baghak in Afghanistan and suffers chronic pain and PTSD.

His wife Frances says they believe an assistance dog will be the most beneficial treatment for Dion and the whole family.

Assistance dog for injured veteranUnlike soldiers who fought in the world wars, and were often left to fend for themselves once their service ended, today’s soldiers have a great deal more assistance in helping them to recover from both the physical and mental scars of combat.

“We have seen what the dogs do for veterans overseas and met families who have them,” she says.

“The dogs are trained to do specific tasks for the veteran to assist them to live as normal a life as possible despite living with PTSD. Just the fact that the dog is with the veteran can have a calming influence and be very helpful.

“We spoke to one veteran from Denmark who says his dog’s changed his life, and he hasn’t had nightmares since he got the dog.”

The RSA is working with Kotuku Foundation Assistance Animals Aotearoa (KFAAA), an independent charity that has trained many disability assistance dogs including pioneering the introduction of Diabetes Response

Dogs in New Zealand. Kotuku founder Merenia Donne says

more and more evidence has steadily come to the fore about the benefits of assistance dogs for those with PTSD.

Kotuku has trained the only two PTSD assistance dogs currently working in New Zealand, and two more are in training, but to date none have been trained for the specific needs of combat veterans.

RSA National Support Services Manager Mark Compain says PTSD is a significant issue for veterans and their families in New Zealand and internationally.

“Some veterans have suffered from a variety of mental health issues resulting from operational service, known in the past as soldier’s heart, shell shock or war neurosis,” Mark says.

“In many of today’s deployments, there is no clearly identifiable threat, no frontline or safe ‘rear area’. Consequently, servicemen and women can remain in extended periods of heightened awareness and stress as a result.

“This can lead to a range of mental health issues, including PTSD, which sometimes only show up months or years later.”

Merenia Donne says it has always been her aim to develop a specialised programme with returned service personnel.

“I have a head injury and PTSD. My grandfather was a squadron leader in the RAF and my father was a Ghurka, so I do have very personal insight.”

She is currently working through a careful process with Dion and Frances Taka. The dog will be trained under KFAAA auspices with Dion’s fully supported participation in the training process from the outset. Training would take between six and 18 months.

She says she has some German Shepherd puppies in mind as potentially suitable but it may be that a young adult dog would be a better option, and that’s currently being discussed with Dion and Frances.

The herd improvement company has been developing its polled product line for over a decade, which it says has been driven by farmers concerned about animal welfare, human safety and the cost of dehorning animals.

The current cost of dehorning cows is significant. A farm with 200 replacements at $6 to $7 per animal equates to about $1,200 to $1,400 for dehorning.

The programme has gained momentum over the past three years and polled genetics will be available to market as soon as next year.

CRV Ambreed research and development manager, Phil Beatson, says the beauty about polled genetics is that it’s controlled by a single gene. An animal only needs one copy of that gene – they are heterozygous for the polled gene - to be polled.

“In breeding we have to breed bulls that have two copies of the gene, that is they are homozygous, for polled,” Mr Beatson said.

“When we breed heterozygous bulls with heterozygous cows there’s a one in four chance of getting a homozygous polled, two in four of heterozygous and one in four of a homozygous horned animal from those matings.

“Then when the homozygous bull is bred to horned cows all of the progeny

will be polled.”The aim is to make sure the polled

progeny are also high indexing. CRV Ambreed is aiming at 220+ BW.

Mr Beatson said five heterozygous cows and five bulls have been identified with that criterion.

“We’ve been undertaking embryo transfer programmes and we’re confident those programmes will result in some homozygous polled progeny. The law of averages says two or three.”

CRV Ambreed already has access to a number of overseas homozygous polled bulls through its global network, but many farmers still want high-indexing New Zealand genetics that have been proven in a range of New Zealand farming systems and environments.

“In Europe they are increasingly asking ‘should we be dehorning animals?’, and they’re using genetics so safely manage this.

“There’s some talk that by 2025 it may be illegal to dehorn animals in Europe. If that happens, New Zealand could follow suit and we need to be prepared,” he said.

CRV Ambreed’s polled bulls will be released to the market once they produce semen in 2017. They will be guaranteed for having two copies of the gene so that 100% of their progeny will have one copy and will be polled.

The plant was officially opened by the Minister for Food Safety Jo Goodhew, last Friday.

Westland Chief Executive Rod Quin said the commissioning of the UHT plant marks Westland’s first step into producing and exporting liquid milk, in addition to its powder-based products and butter.

“This is a significant milestone in Westland’s strategy to move away from the volatile, and currently oversupplied, bulk dairy ingredients market,” Mr Quin said.

“Our focus is now on producing high-profit, added-value products for the top end of the market.”

Mr Quin said Westland’s research shows that, while global dairy prices are unlikely to bounce back soon for products such as bulk milk powder, and so continuing to provide poor returns back to shareholders, the high value products are a growing and more profitable market.

“This is especially the case in China, which is continuing to experience growth in its middle classes.

Substantial orders for new UHT plantWestland Milk Products has already received ‘substantial orders’ for products from its new $40 million ultra-high temperature (UHT) plant in Rolleston.

“These people are educated, have disposable incomes and have high expectations around the quality, safety and health properties of dairy products they buy.

“Westland can meet these expectations, which means the future for these products is more secure and more likely to raise and stablise returns to shareholders.”

The UHT cream that will be produced at the new plant also gives Westland the capacity to sell into the Chinese foodservice and bakery market.

Mr Quin said Chinese consumer interest in western style foods, including bakery goods, is seeing a growth in demand for whipping cream for in a variety of bakery treats and desserts.

“For both UHT milk and cream and we have invested in a considerable amount of research to ensure we have the right combination of high functional performance, quality and taste, which will be the key to winning in this category,” he said.

“Already we have had glowing reports back from China that we are performing

very well in taste evaluations.”He said Westland’s move into value-

added products is already adding nearly 20 cents per kilo of milk solids to shareholder payouts.

“We are on target for that proportion to grow substantially as our recent initiatives, including the recently completed $114 million nutritionals dryer in Hokitka, and now the UHT plant in Rolleston, come into full production.”

Westland has also recently redesigned its Westgold brand, under which the UHT products will be sold alongside Westgold Butter.

Westgold unsalted butter recently won champion butter at the New Zealand Champions of Cheese awards.

“Our early success with UHT orders, nutritional product sales and butter, reinforces our added value strategy and paints a more optimistic future for our shareholders than if we were to remain primarily a bulk ingredients supplier,” Mr Quin said.

Clearwater Mussels was joint winner of the 2015 Lincoln University Foundation South Island Farmer of the Year Competition (with Omarama Station), it was the first ever winner’s field day held at sea.

Three boatloads of around 200 field day attendees left Havelock Marina and motored into the Kekeperu Sound to see greenshell mussel harvesters and seeders at work, and learn about what a marine farming business did to make it a competition winner.

Chairman of the Lincoln University Foundation Ben Todhunter said that business and economics researcher, Dr Amanda Lynn, summed up the day when she spoke about what top entrepreneurs like John Young, who was interviewed for her research into entrepreneurialism, have in common.

“Dr Lynn said that what drives entrepreneurs is a sense of wanting to feel valuable, to themselves, their family, their business and community,” Mr Todhunter said.

“We saw that attitude in John throughout the field day from his opening comments on how the mussel industry had supported the survival and growth of Havelock, to his excitement at the personal growth of his staff, and the positive place the industry has in the Marlborough Sounds.”

John Young himself referred to the parallels between marine and land-

based farming. “In the end, it was about feeding

grass (or in his case marine algae, phytoplankton and other nutrients) to animals so they could turn it into protein for people to eat,” Mr Young said.

“Many of our issues are the same. We rely on the weather, a huge factor we cannot control; we have to work in all seasons; we have to compete against other protein producers here and overseas; and, to succeed, we have to be at the top of our game.”

Mr Young said that, as it is for land farmers, environmental issues, staff performance and development, resource management and a close working relationship with the end customer were all essential.

He spoke passionately about the Marlborough Sounds environment and his belief that Clearwater had to play a role in managing and protecting it. But he

was also critical of those elements that were anti-development in the Sounds.

“Business, recreation, and the environment could be mutually beneficial partners. The wellbeing of one did not have to be at the expense of another,” Mr Young said.

“The ‘lock it up and don’t change it’ mentality is harmful to the growth of business, people, and communities in Marlborough.

“Environmental targets can be best achieved working with business, not by trying to shut them out of the equation.”

It is present world-wide, but New Zealand has one of the highest rates of infection.

FIV is transmitted from one cat to another via bite wounds. The virus is present in the saliva of an affected cat and can be passed on when cats fight. There are other ways it can be passed on but these are far less likely than fighting.

When a cat is infected with FIV the virus will then stay in the cat’s body for life. In some cats the virus causes minimal or only occasional illness, so these cats can look perfectly healthy.

However, in other cats their immune system will gradually become compromised and they will be prone to mouth, skin and respiratory infections,

Immunodeficiency virus in catsby Nick Howell, BVetMed, MRCVS, Selwyn Veterinary Centre

FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) is a virus which affects cats and is similar to HIV in people but FIV can only affect cats, not people or dogs.

and they can gradually become more unwell as time goes on. Some cats will die as a result of the virus.

People often ask what the risk is for their particular cat, and the answer is simple. If you have an indoor cat that never goes out then it cannot catch FIV; if you have a cat that goes outside even infrequently, then it can catch FIV.

The main reservoir for FIV is the stray cat population, but any cat, even your neighbour’s fit healthy looking cat, can carry and pass on FIV.

Vaccinating against FIV is easy – an initial course of three vaccinations is followed by an annual booster. Adult cats should have a blood test before being vaccinated just to check they have not previously been exposed to the virus,

and it is very wise to microchip your cat if having it vaccinated for FIV.

If your cat is diagnosed with FIV it is not the end of the world, many cats with FIV can lead long and happy lives. It is important to feed them well and seek

veterinary attention at the first sign of any illness.

However, it is also important to reduce the spread of the virus, and keeping FIV positive cats indoors is often advised.
