The cake has 16 pink candles, 9506789AA the biggest measuring 6.5m high. It will be the first time this birthday cake balloon has visited New Zealand.

Margaret Knight’s many years of service and commitment to the New Zealand National Party was rewarded with a Certificate of Appreciation, presented to her at the end of last year by Prime Minister John Key. The presentation took place at a National Party luncheon in Ohaupo attended by 150 people. Mrs Knight joined the party officially in 1993 and went straight onto the committee for Te Awa- mutu Branch. She was elected secretary ‘‘about 10 years ago’’ — a position which she still holds. She had been a supporter of the party for many years prior to that direct involvement. ‘‘My father and family were strong National Party supporters and I have long admired the calibre of person involved in the party,’’ Mrs Knight says. Her interest in volunteering as well as politics had been fuelled during World War II ‘‘when every- one had to pull together’’. Mrs Knight’s service has cer- tainly not been limited to the National Party. She has contributed an almost lifelong ‘career’ of volunteering to educational and community TC160114SP08A organisations in Woodville (where MARGARET KNIGHT with her Certificate of Appreciation, flanked by she grew up and began her work- Prime Minister John Key and Peter Goodfellow, president of the ing life), Hamilton and Te Awa- National Party. mutu.

By BALA TIKKISETTY
As we begin another new year, with its inevitable challenges, it’s always good to remember that whatever the season, maintaining the condition of soils is a key to successful sustainable farming. So I’m pleased to report that a strong tool for helping farmers do just that — the visual soil assessment or VSA — has been updated with some important new indicators. Understanding VSA and what it can tell us is a very good investment for farmers. A decline in soil physical properties can take considerable expense and many years to correct, and can increase the risk of soil erosion by water or wind. VSA’s results are easy to interpret and create a better understanding of soil quality and its fundamental importance to sustainable resource and environmental management. The updated VSA adds to that by improving assessments of soil condition SUNDAY and plant performance. It does this TC160114SP12A through a more balanced assessment of BALA TIKKISETTY examines a soil sample. soil chemical, biological and physical properties. require knowledge of paddock history. important indicator (a factor of 3) than LUNCH For example, VSA now helps consider However, filling in the plant indicator surface relief (a factor of 1).
