By Heather Chalmers [email protected] Just recovering from having the family’s dairy herd culled as part of the mycoplasma bovis eradica- tion programme, Mid Canterbury farmer David McFarlane now faces starting the new season with his only staff member stranded in the Philippines. McFarlane said that Ryan Baric- uatro had worked on the family’s 550-cow farm at Carew for seven years. With Baricuatro’s wife due to have a baby in the Philippines in early April and no cows to milk because of M. bovis he was encouraged to take annual leave to travel to be with his family. “Then Covid-19 happened.” McFarlane was now desperate to get Baricuatro back before calving, but was hamstrung by New Zealand’s closed borders to all but New Zealand citizens and permanent residents following the Cov- id-19 lockdown. The farm’s new herd had arrived last week from the North Island and would calve in July, earlier than the August calving date of South Island herds.

THE FACTS

■■ Tobacco use is responsible for 25 per cent of all cancer deaths globally. ■■ Use of nicotine and tobacco products increases the risk of cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. ■■ Over 1 million people die from second-hand smoke exposure every year. ■■ Children and adolescents who use e-cigarettes at least double their chance of smoking cigarettes later in life. ■■ E-cigarette use increases your risk of heart disease and lung disorders. ■■ Nicotine in e-cigarettes is a highly addictive drug and can damage children’s developing brains. ■■ Smoking shisha is just as harmful as other forms of tobacco use. It is toxic and contains substances that cause cancer. ■■ Smokeless doesn’t mean that it’s harmless. ■■ Smoking causes bad breath, yellow teeth, wrinkly skin, unhealthy lungs and a poor immune system.

Ruby quits as Batwoman Ruby Rose has shared a cryptic post about quitting her role as Batwoman. The 34-year-old actress starred as Kate Kane and her titular alter-ego in The CW series during its first season - which began airing last year - but made a shock announcement last week that she is stepping away from the iconic role and despite much speculation as to the reasons behind her departure, she has offered only a cryptic response and merely said “those who know, know”.

Dog Registrations 2020/21

It is important to register your dog every year as part of being a responsible dog owner. Annual dog registration fees are due by 31 July 2020. All dog owners must register or re-register their pets and working dogs by this time. Dog registration forms will be posted out to all dog owners, but if you do not receive yours, you can still register your dog online or at the Ashburton District Council reception. Dog registration renewals that are unpaid at 7 August will incur a late penalty fee. Late registrations create additional administrative costs in reminders and postage, as well as staff time. If you do not register your dog any or all of the following may occur: • Issuing of infringement notice which carries a $300 infringement fee. • Seizure and impounding of the dog (owners will be required to pay impounding and sustenance fees).

Dog Registration fees for the 2020/21 year are as follows: Rural zone owners (1st and 2nd dog) $55.00 Rural zone owners (per subsequent dog) $28.00 Penalty fee for late registration - rural $28.00 Urban zone Owners $85.00 Penalty fee for late registration - urban $42.00 Desexed dogs in urban zone $55.00 Responsible Dog Owner - per dog $50.00 Penalty fee for late registration $42.00 License to keep 3 or more dogs (urban area) $47.00 Renewal of license to keep 3 or more dogs $25.00 Dangerous dog - urban $127.00 Dangerous dog - rural $83.00 ashburtondc.govt.nz
