As Feilding people continue to mourn the death of Footrot Flats cartoonist Murray Ball, his legacy will live on through a sign welcoming people into his home town. The Manawatu town’s entrance at Kimbolton Rd on State Highway 54 is marked with a rural-themed billboard featuring a drawing of a flock of sheep and the Footrot Flats character, Dog. The drawing was designed by A sign with a Murray Ball Ball, whose death was confirmed cartoon welcomes visitors into on Sunday.

Building owners say they may not be able to afford to fix their quake- prone buildings, and are unlikely to meet the deadline. The Manawatu District Coun- cil met with building owners on Tuesday to discuss implications of the new earthquake-prone buildings legislation, including timeframes affected owners would need to adhere to.

SAM KILMISTER

Sheep, working dogs and bales of wool crowded Feilding’s main street in a celebration of all things rural. The Manawatu town heralded the start of the Hilux New Zealand Rural Games on Friday with an array of events, including the ‘‘running of the wools’’. The community turned out in force along the barrier-lined streets, while a mob of the area’s finest woolly residents made their way from the saleyards to the clock tower in Manchester Square and back. The event is a dramatic celebration of the region’s farming heritage, highlighting the continued importance of the sheep industry to New Zealand’s rural economy. Friday’s events began with two other street races before the running of the wools, a wool fadge team race and a man and mutt race. The Feilding events were a pre- cursor to the third annual rural games, which relocated from Queenstown to The Square in Palmerston North this year. The fadge race saw banter tossed back and forth between Feilding’s police officers and fire- fighters as they joined 10 other teams to fill a fadge (large sack) Races down Manchester Street kicked off the Rural Games.

A tent city is springing up from mud and puddles as exhibitors put the final touches on their sites at the Central Districts Field Days in Feilding. Organisers said they had sold all 557 exhibitor sites at Manfeild Park. It rained last weekend and during the first part of this week, but the weather is forecast to be fine for the field days.

SAM KILMISTER

After struggling to crack the job market, a brother and sister have opened their own pet shop. Madison and Taylor Rolston raised calves on their family farm in Rangiwahia, in rural Mana- watu, for over a year to scrape together enough money to turn their dream of working with animals into a vocation. They have opened Shiloh’s Pets in Feilding – the town’s first pet shop in several years.

JILL GALLOWAY

A top New Zealand chef is serving up the benefits of using sheep milk in his creations as the potential for the product is discussed in the city. Marc Soper, executive chef at Wharekauhau Estate in Wairarapa, showed off his cooking talents to 150 people at the Sheep Milk New Zealand Con- ference in Palmerston North this week. Soper, who was named New Zealand’s top chef last year, said he used sheep milk yoghurt, cheeses and gelato in his dishes. ‘‘I tried sheep milk panna cotta, and it was fantastic. After trying it and with the nuttier and creamy taste it gave, I would never go back to cow’s milk again. ‘‘You get more characteristics in sheep’s milk products.’’ His demonstration included fritters, arancini, mousse and ricotta cheese, all made with sheep milk. Soper said he liked to use local products, including that of a local sheep milk producer and often foraged for produce himself, including wild fennel.

KAROLINE TUCKEY

Robo and tech prototypes to solve a list of farming frustrations are under construction by Manawatu farmers and techies. Six teams were formed at the start of the AgTech Hackathon on Saturday, after an open invitation to join a pressure-cooker incu- bation project. Workers from the Manawatu farm industry suggested problems they would like solutions to, including better ways to monitor pasture growth, water supplies and animal weight tracking. IT and engineering experts have provided ideas about technologies that could help. Then team members from the different disciplines worked together to create designs. Over the weekend, some groups started to build hardware and software prototypes. Among the projects is a robot that can roam farms collecting grass samples, an app to record genetic data from beef cattle in the field and software collating water supply data from different monitors. Recent Massey mechatronics masters graduate Tobin Hall is part of the Agriflow team. They Tobin Hall with a robot they hope will collect grass samples for farmers.

SAM KILMISTER

A key figure in the Halcombe community has been acknowledged for his role in the Manawatu town’s revival after bringing its community development group back from the dead. Richard Bain has received a community honours award from the Manawatu District Council, but insisted he wouldn’t be resting on his laurels anytime soon. ‘‘I’ll keep going until I can’t go anymore,’’ Bain said. In 2009 Bain was part of a group that brought the Halcombe Community Development Group back to life and was elected chairperson. He held this position until 2013. He spent nine years on the Halcombe School Board of Trustees, continuing to serve after his children had moved on. Councillor Shane Casey said Bain had spent hours, totalling years, giving his time. ‘‘Richard has been described as dependable, consistently giving himself to helping others,’’ Casey said. ‘‘Many living in the community are better because of the time spent in the presence of Rich- ard. He gets on with the job and is always the first person to put his hand up as the true-doer that all Richard Bain at the Manawatu Community Honours ceremony.

SAM KILMISTER

Feilding parents can get their babies bopping with the introduc- tion of the town’s first music class for babies. Baby Bop is a youth music programme of 30-minute group classes for mothers and babies at St John’s Church in Feilding. Three classes are offered on Fridays - Baby Beginners for 0-8 months, Crazy Crawlers for 8-15 months and Wacky Walkers for over 15 months. ‘‘The gift of music is something that will last a lifetime,’’ teacher Amy Wildbore said. Wildbore and fellow instructor Katrina Morgan were both teachers at Manchester St School before leaving to have children. ‘‘We both didn’t want to go back to work, but we wanted a music group in Feilding that targeted the different age groups,’’ Wildbore said. ‘‘There are a lot of music groups around and I took my son to them when he was little, but they were too overwhelming because the one class was for all age groups.’’ Casey Jamieson has attended the classes with daughter Indica, 1, since the group’s inception. The social development Indica gained from the sessions kept her coming back. Oliver Price, 1, bops with his teddy.

SAM KILMISTER

A Feilding student’s decision to pursue studies in Christchurch has been validated by receiving a prestigious scholarship. Despite her father being a senior lecturer at Massey Univer- sity in Palmerston North, Sarah Lockhart decided to spread her wings and is in her second year of a bachelor of agricultural com- merce at Lincoln University in Christchurch. The 19-year-old said a $5000 scholarship from fertiliser company Ravensdown had certainly smoothed the path and would go a long way towards helping her complete her degree. ‘‘Everyone knows the expenses at university can add up, especially if you’re living away from home,’’ Lockhart said. ‘‘So it was pretty awesome to receive the phone call telling me that most of my fees would be paid by the scholarship.’’ Lockhart said she had been torn between her home region and Canterbury. but ultimately opted for an ‘‘adventure’’ down south. ‘‘I went to high school in Palm- erston North and so Massey would have been the natural choice, especially because my dad Sarah Lockhart has received a scholarship from fertiliser company Ravensdown for her studies at Lincoln University.

SAM KILMISTER

Those who have seen Goodbye Pork Pie will appreciate what a wildly adventurous experience it would be to follow in the footsteps of the infamous Blondini Gang. Mt Biggs principal Raewyn Marshall and daughter Sheree are set to do just that. Come Easter weekend, 60 Minis will muster in Kaitaia for the fifth running of the Pork Pie Charity Run in support of KidsCan. After six days and seven nights on the road only the fittest, strongest and most desperate Minis will arrive in Invercargill. More than 2500 kilometres of New Zealand’s roads will be trav- elled from the top to the bottom. The duo will follow the route of the iconic 1981 Kiwi movie from Kaitaia to Invercargill via Auck- land, Taupo, National Park, Whanganui, Wellington, Picton, Kaikoura, Christchurch, Greymouth, Hokitika, Harihari, Alexandra and Dunedin. Marshall said the duo was excited to encounter some of New Zealand’s biggest potholes, wettest valleys, long South Island straights, biggest cities and friendliest rural towns. After months of running Mt Biggs School principal Raewyn Marshall will be in one of 60 Minis taking part in the Pork Pie charity run.

MIRI SCHROETER

Palmerston North’s Relay for Life finished early for the first time since it started 17 years ago, due to safety concerns over stormy weather. Cancer Society spokeswoman Faye James said the 24-hour relay finished an hour earlier because organisers didn’t want participants getting wet again after it rained throughout the first day on Saturday. ‘‘We did also for safety’s sake stop it at midnight and start it again at 7am [on Sunday], because it was too dangerous.’’ People still stayed overnight, some in a nearby hall, while it was bucketing down. The Cancer Society’s annual fundraiser, the rally began off Palmerston North’s Centennial Drive at midday on Saturday. This year’s event was opened by cancer survivor Sarah McKelvie, who found out she had stage three breast cancer when she was pregnant with her second child Georgie, and was unable to undergo radiotherapy. Instead, McKelvie had a mas- tectomy and underwent chemo- therapy. Georgie, now 1, was healthy and McKelvie said he was ‘‘doing Sarah McKelvie was diagnosed with cancer when she was 12 weeks pregnant.

RICHARD MAYS

Manawatu’s backyard cricket ground is about to up the over rate. Home to third-grade Palmer- ston North club Bloomfield, and built by the team’s opening bat Ben McKelvie on his Oroua Downs dairy farm, the Omanuka Oval is set to take on some heavy hitters. On Sunday March 26, the ground is to host for the first time anywhere outside Wellington, the parliamentary cricket team. Of course there is collusion. The parliamentary team organiser for the past five years, and its former captain, is Rangitikei MP Ian McKelvie, Ben’s uncle. ‘‘He watched us play the first day out there and I guess he thought he might be able to get a bit of a win,’’ Ben McKelvie said. ‘‘He asked if we’d be interested and all the boys were keen.’’ The 22-over match will be played to twilight rules, meaning all team members have to bowl, and batsmen must retire on 50 runs. Ian McKelvie said the parliamentary team played three or four games a year – the most prominent being the annual fix- ture against diplomats stationed in the capital – but won’t know its make up until closer to the game. ‘‘It’ll be a mixture of parliamentarians, parliamentary staff and anyone connected to the Farmer Ben McKelvie’s Omanuka Oval backyard cricket pitch is to host the parliamentary cricket team.
