River -T Vine News
One more week and pruning for us is finished ! The lack of rain has meant we have had a good run with it. We cant prune in rain as disease can set in where the fresh pruning cuts have been made. What we are wanting now is a cold spell. We don’t want the vines to come out of dormancy too soon. The grapes that we picked in April/May are being bottled in the next few weeks. Pinot Gris ; Ries- ling and Rose. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sit in Oak barrels till next year. (Now you know why Chardonay and Pinot Noir are usually more expensive than Gris etc) Barrels are expensive and the grapes are a lot more labour intensive and demand more attention from the winemaker. We are busy in the cellar door getting it ready for when we re -open. We will open in AUGUST. Date still to be confirmed. Any wine orders while Cellar Door is closed can be done direct with me .

WELL DONE Phone 027 2224584 TWO BURGLARIES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS:
Unfortunately there have been two burglaries in Kurow township in the last two weeks! One burglar was seen walking around the property with a torch at about 9.30pm but Police were not called. This is no criticism as the observer did try and contact the property owner but in these circumstanced please dial 111. The operator will immediately call me and any other officer who may be in the area.
Some residents may not be aware but there are frequently up to eight police cars patrolling the Waitaki valley at any one time which can be directed to help. This by the way has reduced our recent drink drive spike to an acceptable level…that level being ZERO drink drivers caught for three weeks.
So back to the burglaries…you can draw your own conclusions from the properties targeted were unoccupied and bedding including pillows, blankets and a duvet were targeted along with a flat screen television.
Entry was gained prizing open windows with a big screw driver or similar. I am patrolling a lot at night now, often on foot to see if we can nip this in the bud.
With regard to preventing burglaries I’m wondering is there a local builder, handyman who is interested in offering a service fitting window security catches? Both houses where entered very easily through wooden windows without security catches. I imagine there would be good up take in the valley especially if a gold card discount were offered ; ) How about someone placing an advert in the Bugle and testing the market? FIREARMS BUY -BACK
The information and systems for handing in illegal semi automatic firearms can all be found on website www.police.govt.nz and advice on 0800 311 311.
Many owners seem to have held off until compensation amounts were released. As an indication gun owners will receive 95% of base price for new or near new firearms, 70% for used guns and 25% of base price if in poor condition. Payout for illegal magazines and parts is 70% of base price for new/near new and 25% if in poor condition. Claimants must hold a valid firearms license and remember there is still a firearms amnesty in place.
There are also a number of collection points organised all over the district.

Long-time advocate for Ahuriri stands down
To look at him youʼd never guess they call him "the Rottweiler". “Ooh, you better not put that bit in …but thatʼs what they call me, down there…itʼs ‘cause I wonʼt ever let things go.” 'Down there' is the Waitaki District Council chambers and offices in Oamaru. Otematata's Graham Sullivan sees it as a compliment, and heʼs laughing. The 82-year-old Ahuriri Community Board chairman has not been letting matters go for the past 12 years. But come the October local body elections the Ahuriri Ward will lose this committed community advocate as Graham steps down from the role to spend a little more time actively retired. He was 70 years young when he was first elected to the board. At the time he lived in Waimate but spent as much, if not more, time in Otematata. He and his wife Shirley bought their Otematata crib about 40 years ago, 10 years after first making the trip up the valley with their caravan to Omarama for holidays. About a year ago Graham took up permanent residence in that same crib. Shirley died nine years ago. Until then the couple worked as a team, both firm supporters of their adopted community, he said. Graham discovered governance was his "forte" when he worked at the Pareora Freezing works and became chairman of its sick benefit society. He was also president of the Waimate Pipe Band for 25 years and has been patron since. When the Otematata Residentsʼ Association was set up about 25 years ago, he was there. “Thatʼs when I got really involved, I could see the potential in the valley. “This has been my passion, Iʼve seen things happen, weʼve worked hard to get to where we are.” He uses those words "we" and "team" a lot. It was the search for a building to use as a community centre – the Otematata Lakes Centre - that really galvanised him into action. Graham was treasurer of the association for 15 years – the building was purchased 14 years ago. "I got really involved in that, right from that start… from there I became a politician. “We wanted a centre.” The association had tried to buy the old school buildings but that fell through. So when the former Electricorp Building, which was in private hands, came on the market they needed to move fast.
“Four of us [committee members] - probably underhand - talked the council into buying it [the building].” Alan McLay was mayor at the time. “Within about a fortnight we had it all sewn up.” There was resistance, quite a degree of opposition, in fact. It was partly to do with the cost but also “people didnʼt want change". But it had proved its worth, he said. In fact, he considers whenever there has been friction it has been largely because people are generally resistant to change. And there had been significant change “right up the valley” as the area continued to grow and develop. “It has been great, there have been great people to work with.” He has worked with three councillors; Struan Munro, Craig Dawson and June Slee, two mayors; Alec Familton and Gary Kircher, and two chief executives; Michael Ross and Fergus Power. “The board have worked as a team, Iʼve got on well with the staff and councillors.” “The staff have said how much they enjoy coming to our meetings. “Itʼs been a team effort. “Iʼm really proud now of the whole valley, really proud, the way the whole valley – Kurow, Otematata, Omarama and Ohau, how theyʼve all grown. “Weʼve had our moments, but weʼve kept at it.” He was most proud of the development of the Otematata Wetlands Walkway, the way subsequent generations of volunteers were now buying into the project and the way it had become a legacy for the future. “Iʼm really proud of that and the people that are looking after it now. The vision that began as a germ of an idea in an overgrown "no-mans-land" had developed into a draw-card for residents and visitors alike, with more developments planned. “I donʼt know what came over me – where the idea came from, I remember walking down there [to what was a former Benmore Dam construction site] with Dave Dransfield. “We had to push our way through it [the thick brambles and bracken covering the ponds along the lakeside]. “Itʼs been a dream and it will last for ever.” Graham was also part of the fight to keep the Waitaki Lakes Camping grounds council- owned. “We could have lost them, but we got the [councillorʼs] votes.” It has preserved for Waitaki the traditional camping holidays Kiwis value, he said. Some things were hard, he said. Of the 10 Waitaki District councillors, six represented the Oamaru ward, Corriedale had two and Waihemo and Ahuriri had one each. It meant voting often went the way of the urban ward and that was “hard for the farming community”, he said. Although, the Ahuriri ward made up 60% of the land area of the Waitaki district, it had the smallest resident population, yet it was not the smallest in terms of the actual number of the dwellings, and the population grew considerably during holiday periods, he said. Over the years he hoped that he had done his best to represent the communityʼs wishes – “within reason”. “Youʼve got to debate it, youʼve got to be passionate about what you are doing.” Organised tours of the district for councillors and board members had been an eye- opener to the reality of what was actually involved in running the district as a whole. “You advocate for your community…but you canʼt be greedy.” Although, Graham plans to do some travelling he still wants to stay involved in valley affairs but it was important for now to stand back, he said. “Iʼve done my turn.”

Districts Unite to help Farmers get Through M. bovis
Members of the Waimate/Waitaki Mycoplasma Bovis Advisory Group Front (L-R) Jo Goodhew RST, Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher, Waimate Mayor Craig Rowley, Heather Newbury MPI. Back (L-R) Jared Ross Federated Framers, Carl Jensen farmer, John Gregan Federated Farmers, Kevin Kearney vet, Peter Bodeker MPI.
Waimate and Waitaki District councils have set up a collabora ve group to support the Mycoplasma bovis Programme in making regional decisions to benefit farmers. The Waimate/Waitaki Mycoplasma Bovis Advisory Group monthly mee ngs will be co- chaired by Waimate Mayor Craig Rowley and Waitaki mayor Gary Kircher, and is modelled on a similar arrangement in Ashburton. The first mee ng was held at Waimate District Council on Wednesday 3 July. Membership of the group so far includes the mayors, farmers, the Ministry for Primary Industries, Federated Farmers, the Rural Support Trust, and an independent veterinarian representa ve. “It’s good to see all of these people round the table talking about solu ons. If we can iden fy any road blocks, we can collec vely work to move them out of the way,” says Waimate Mayor Craig Rowley. “We’re very much rural service districts and farmers are our ratepayers, and it’s really important we help to make the process of dealing with the disease as smooth and as stress -free as possible,” he adds. Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher says the mee ngs are a posi ve step forward. “A strength of this group is that it includes knowledgeable and experienced people who are going through, or have dealt with, M. bovis . “One issue we’d like to address first is communica on. We’d like to see an improvement in communica on and feedback to farmers so that informa on from MPI is clearer, as consistent as possible, and gives more certainty,” says Mr Kircher. While the group will meet monthly, its members will be ac ve all of the me to support farmers and the Programme’s aim of eradica ng M. bovis from New Zealand.

THE GARDEN DIARY
It’s mid-summer on the other side of the world. They’re in the midst of a heatwave, planning picnics and days at the seaside. Here we revel in cosiness, warm fires, hot soup, and rug up for brisk walks in frosty-catch-your-misty-breath landscapes. We grizzle about cold. And we dream of next summer. Inspiring mes. Bulb catalogues, rose catalogues, seed catalogues arrive through the post. Visions of swathes of flowering borders colour those other posts I subscribe to. I get to peek through cyber space at northern hemisphere garden plots between adver sing posts for swimsuits, shorts and sandals. Envy, mostly, as I haul on the layers. Why Chelsea on my mind? Right now, in that alternate hemisphere scores of gardeners are spending their summer months visi ng the greatest of gardening shows and returning home with lists and lists, and plans of plan ng dreams and schemes. All to try to emulate at home that snapshot in me that sparked joy, created by grand designers for their chance at a world-class prize. Even the wildest of gardens are not strictly natural – the hand of the gardener is there. But some composi ons are happily accidental. Like groupies, bright forget-me-nots will crowd around hosta blue elephant ears before moving on to a different star and gig. Looking out across our humble wee patch, brown, dead and gripped by frost, I mull over the past year as the new season stretches out ahead and think, between the weeds and the work, what were the moments that made it all worthwhile? A true high-country winter dictates elegant simplicity. A single leathery, dark green shoot forces its way up through leaf li er beside the evergreen, wine-veined leaves of Tiarella cordifolia and unfolds. Dusky, Paris-pink hellebore petals unfurl from dark- wine to bloom under the bunny-fur buds of Magnolia stellata, its lips ck petals s ll wrapped warmly against the cold, wai ng for spring. By mid-August I, too, am hanging out for those first signs and snowdrops - their bright whiteness blankets the ground under the silver birches just as white Chaenomeles japonica bursts into blossom on bare twigs.
Come November, and I’m spoilt for choice, surrounded by painterly composi ons, between the weeds and work! There’s a princess pink peony juggling for space in the spotlight with a mulberry verbascum and dark as death geranium phaeum (Mourning Widow) . The euphorbias in shades from lemon to burnt orange pop-up everywhere, most o en beside their kindred day-lily, lemon with lemon, orange with rusty red. How do they know to do that? The old-fashioned woodruff, Galium odoratum, with its ny starry flowers held above its sunburst lime-green leaves, runs amok under the daisy, Anthemis nctoria 'Sauce Hollandaise', and later Rosa 'Evelyn'. Last year, Rudbeckia 'Indian Summer' and a simple, single lemon chrysanthemum joined them. One absolute favourite combo was a feathery pink Monarda (Bee Balm) – proudly grown from seed - and crimson pincushions of Knau a macedonica which it li s above dusky, notched leaves, and a Cab-Sav-coloured scabious surrounding an unnamed gaudy cactus dahlia, it’s starry petals all the colours of the sunset. But the heat-loving dahlia succumbed to the cold, despite li ing and carefully storing - so change is inevitable. And here’s a combina on that was a magnet to bees, bu erflies and other garden visitors from early summer to late autumn - A dark purple monarda, an Agastache foeniculum (Anise Hyssop), a rusty orange yarrow, Verbena bonariensis, Geum 'Mrs Bradshaw', and Sedum 'Autumn Joy'. I want to plonk an echinacea in there too. An idea caught online I’m itching to try is; a purple-leafed heuchera, Anthriscus sylvestris ‘Ravenswing’, black-eyed Geranium ‘ Ann Folkard’, and my Schiaparelli pink lychnis. Yep, there’s no weaning me off bright colours… or dreaming, dreaming, dreaming. Now, where to find the seeds for Anthriscus sylvestris ‘Ravenswing’ ?

A young engineer was leaving the office at 5.45 p.m. when he found the CEO standing in front of the shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. “Listen,” said the CEO. “this is a very sensi ve and important document and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?” “Certainly,” said the young engineer. He turned on the machine, inserted the paper and pressed the start bu on. “Excellent, excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, “I just need one copy.” Lesson: Never, never assume that your boss knows what he is doing.

A gold coin donation would be appreciated to help cover costs A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is ask- ing for a push. "Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!" He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?" asked his wife.. "Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers. "Did you help him?" she asks. "No, I did not, it's 3 am in the morning and it's bloomin' well pouring with rain out there!" "Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself! God loves drunk people too you know."
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you s ll there?" "Yes," comes back the answer. "Do you s ll need a push?" calls out the husband. "Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark. "Where are you?" asks the husband. "Over here on the swing," replied the drunk..
