Everybody is enjoying that they get the oppor- tunity to carry their ideas and thoughts through- out the different huis, with different questions and topics being raised. To this hui we have added the aspect that everyone got to bring a friend from their school, this boosted confidence throughout the day and bought a new group of opinions and ideas to the table. The response from the students has been all positive – getting to meet new people, sharing their voice and being heard. All of the students’ ideas get taken back to their school to see what the students want to see change. These huis would not go ahead without Miss Jenna Chenery, Mrs Rana Staples, Mrs Wendy At- kinson (within school teachers) and Mrs Rosie Robinson (across school teacher) for all were there help run and organise previous huis and helped support the students leading this hui. Our Opuke Kahui Ako is leading the way with other Kahui Akos adopting this idea of running student huis, where students get to give their ideas and be heard.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Thursday, September 26, the 269th day of 2019. There are 96 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On September 26, 1789, Thomas Jefferson was confirmed by the Senate to be the first United States secretary of state; John Jay, the first chief justice; Edmund Randolph, the first attorney general. On this date: In 1777, British troops occupied Philadelphia during the American Revolution. In 1865, the Native Rights Act declared Maori to be British subjects. The act deemed all Maori to be natural- born subjects of the Crown, confirming in law the treaty promise that Maori were to be accorded the same status as other British subjects. In 1892, John Philip Sousa and his newly-formed band performed publicly for the first time at the Stillman Music Hall in Plainfield, New Jersey. In 1907, New Zealand went from being a colony to a dominion within the British Empire. In 1955, following word that President Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack, the New York Stock Exchange saw its worst price decline since 1929.

10 Ashburton Guardian Thursday, September 26, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Workshops build on dollar sense A workshop aimed at building financial confidence for farmers will be hosted by the Dairy Wom- en’s Network in Ashburton next week. It is a time of unprecedented change in the dairy industry and farmers are transitioning into a new operating environment, the network says. It is running 17 workshops across the country for its mem- bers, with the help of ASB, and the Ashburton workshop will be at Lake Hood on October 2. The sessions will be focused on the fundamentals of rural bank- ing and finance, and the wider industry picture. “Maintaining control of your business and ensuring it is re- silient enough to continue to be profitable is paramount,” Dairy Women’s Network CEO Jules Ben- ton said.

www.guardianonline.co.nz Thursday, September 26, 2019 Ashburton Guardian 11 Less flowering, better farming goal A quintessential Kiwi landscape usually includes green pastures dotted with livestock munching on healthy, vibrant grass. Those green fields are generally full of ryegrass and in late spring the ryegrass flowers. When it does, it is no longer as nutritious for the livestock feeding on it. A research project from the University of Otago’s Depart- ment of Biochemistry is aiming to develop a ryegrass that doesn’t flower on-farm. That project, headed by Associate Professor Richard Macknight and Dr Ly- nette Brownfield, was this month awarded $999,999 by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Em- ployment’s (MBIE) Endeavour Fund Smart Ideas programme. The research could ultimately lead to a far more productive and efficient New Zealand farming landscape, Macknight says. “There have been recent ad- vances in our genetic under- standing of how flowering is controlled, and we are using this knowledge as a starting point to discover the key genes required to prevent ryegrass flowering on the farm.” The successful development of ryegrass cultivars that don’t flow- er in field conditions will extend peak production, enabling farm- ers to utilise current farmland Dr Lynette Brownfield and Associate Professor Richard Macknight of Otago University are taking a close look at ryegrass. more efficiently, Macknight says.

Tinwald Garden Club The July meeting of the Garden Club lis- tened to a very interesting and informa- tive talk by John Burn on the subject of growing truffle. Most of us had no idea that truffle could be grown in Canter- bury, and actually John told us that for some time he was the most southern grower of the fungus in the world. He grows the black Perigro truffle, planting inoculated English oaks and common hazel nut trees in 1990, and then settling down to wait. His first truffle was harvested on July 12, 2004, and for some time he sup- plied the Auckland market, telling us the truffle was not well known in NZ until 2009. A very high Ph level of about 7.6 is required and to achieve this he applied 90t.of lime per acre on 2½ acres. They grow on the roots of the trees about one inch down and cannot be seen from above, important to keep off the ground, and apply irrigation only very sparingly to keep the roots near the surface. He finds them by crawling round sniff- ing and observing small cracks in the ground and eruptions like mushroom tops. A dog cannot tell which are mature unless specially trained. Serve about 10-15 gm per person, grate over hot steak, or put sliced truffle be- tween chicken flesh and skin, or poke into beef joint. About a six week window of opportunity, they cannot be frozen, mature truffle are on the verge of going rotten. In August the Club enjoyed a quiz af- ternoon with questions delivered by Jenette Storrier and Lois Gibson. As usual, such questions might have been designed to show us how ignorant we are! There were three groups of ques- tions on general knowledge, Ashburton information and Royalty. Thank you Jen- ette and Lois.

Messi hurt again Lionel Messi was substituted at halftime of his first start for Barcelona since a long injury layoff because of a leg muscle problem. Messi hurt his left leg less than half an hour into the Spanish league match against Villarreal at Camp Nou Stadium on Tuesday. The playmaker left the field and doctors attended to his leg for few minutes before he eventually returned and finished the half. Messi didn’t return for the second half, though, being replaced by Ousmane Dembele. “When something happens to Messi, it seems that the world comes to a halt,” Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said. “But it looks like it’s only some minor pain in his abductor (muscle). We replaced him as a precaution. We don’t want to take any risks.” - AP NBA scouts out Strong starts to the preseason by American 18-year-olds LaMelo Ball and R.J.
