JURY SERVICE. YOUR CONTRIBUTION COUNTS.Sam is a surf lifesaver on weekends, and he’s involved with a couple of ocean cleanup groups. Last summer he was called up for jury service. It meant missing a couple of big wave days and reorganising his shifts at work, but Sam believes it was worth it.

New Zealanders like Sam contribute to their communities because they knowwhat it takes to create the kind of country we all want to live in. When you’recalled upon to serve your community through jury service, say yes.

Stress free:Rural SupportSouthlandagriculturalrecoveryfacilitator ClaireWelsh, who leda DairyWomen’sNetwork‘‘FarmHerWellbeing’’workshop onrecognisingstress, attendedby about 50women, inWinton lastweek.

Wellbeing stressedTHERE’S more stress down onthe farm than you would think.That was the message Southlanddairy farming women heard at aspecial health day in Wintonlast week.Organised by the DairyWomen’s Network, the ‘‘Farm-Her Wellbeing’’ day providedwomen with strategies to keepthemselves well – emotionallyand physically – throughouttheir busy, challenging, andmulti-faceted life on and off thefarm.About 50 women attended theworkshop, which was one of 10seminars held around thecountry this month.Co-ordinator and Rural SupportSouthland agricultural recoveryfacilitator Claire Welsh saidwomen needed to take care ofthemselves and watch out forstress. ‘‘If you’re out – the wholefamily is affected.’’

Farming had particular stres-sors which those working inurban areas did not face, shesaid.These included the fact thatrural people lived and worked athome and often had difficultydefining work and a time forrelaxation.‘‘Dairy farming is very goalfocused and people just carry onand hope things will get better.’’Add to that the increaseddemands of a rural lifestyle,including long hours, being on-call seven days a week, havingto drive long distances togrocery shop or take children tosport and you’ve got a recipe forincreased stress.‘‘There aren’t many careerswhere you’re asked to live onthe job, or work as and whenrequired – without limitation,with a salary package that’sdependent on the weather and

global markets.’’She encouraged people to beaware of stress warning signsincluding headaches, poor con-centration, low energy levelsand difficulty sleeping.‘‘People put such pressure onthemselves by trying to do toomuch and when they find theycan’t do it – they feel guilty.‘‘They need to stop the overload,get some control back in theirlives and begin to feel goodabout themselves again.’’She advised people to gaincontrol by changing what theycould and accepting what theycouldn’t change.Taking time out occasionally tohave some fun, or doingsomething you enjoy wasanother good action, as wascreating a ‘‘stress-free’’ zone athome.Exercise was also highly recom-mended.

Freedom campersput on notice

On the move: Freedom campers Stephan and Sharon Meyer, of Germany, enjoy theirstay in Te Anau as they stopover in the town during their South Island campervantour. New freedom camping laws will soon allow local councils to issue instant fines ifcampers are found littering, or dumping waste.

MOVES are under way to address growingconcerns about the impacts of freedom campingon southern tourist towns, with many localresidents unhappy about waste disposal andlittering.The New Zealand Freedom Camping Forumrecently agreed on several actions to improve thebehaviour of campers, including rental operatorsinforming clients that it is not acceptable to campoutside designated camping areas.Tourism Industry Association advocacy man-ager Geoff Ensor said all parties recognised theincreasing public antagonism towards freedomcamping and were committed to taking action.‘‘The right to freedom camp is a New Zealandbirthright and we don’t want to see it banned, butwe must take action to protect our environmentand our international reputation as a friendly,welcoming destination.’’The forum includes representatives from rentalvehicle operators, local government, tourismorganisations and central government.

Meanwhile, the Government will launch a new billin Parliament next month allowing councils to levy$200 instant fines for illegal camping.Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean said the new law shouldgo a long way towards cleaning up the freedomcamping issue in and around the south.‘‘Communities have been battling this issue forsome time. I’m delighted that the Government hasresponded by giving people, in places like Te Anau,the support that they need.‘‘These communities work too hard at achieving aclean, green image to have others dropping in andruining it.‘‘Local people tell me they’re sick and tired ofvisitors spreading rubbish and human waste alongroadsides and in rest areas, but these new fines willhopefully give councils the teeth they need topolice this issue and clean the problem up.’’The number of freedom campers nationally hasdoubled during the past decade to 110,000international visitors and more than 40,000 NewZealanders, she said.

Aurora College Year 7 students Col n Manson, Rielly Shirley and Tegan Wilson are enjoying the opportunity to learn using an iPAD.

Col n says he has been reading more news ar cles than he used to. ��It�s more fun to read on the iPAD about current events.��Tegan says it has also helped her with her maths. ��The apps are fun to play and I am fi nding out informa on that I did not know.��Another classmate Josh says it�s easier to get through the class work. �� I have many more sources of informa on all day long.�� And Timi Carrodus says his spelling has improved.The students� homebase teachers say the students are using their me more wisely and consequently ge ng more done in class. They are keen to learn using the iPADS, par cularly when it comes to finding their own informa on.They are also becoming more confident learners and teaching is moving awayfrom the teacher as the �holder of all knowledge� to being a facilitator.

It is largely the same team as last year with a couple of new playerstaking the total to 15. The team is looking forward to compe ng in the South Island mixed tournament, being held in Greymouth during Term 3.

Aurora College Term 2 SportsAurora College Term 2 SportsNetballNetballAurora College have Year 7 and 8 netball teams and both are going very well.

Developing an awareness of all things agricultural outside the classroom has taken a new twist at Aurora College recently. Level 2 students who work closely with Telford Rural Polytechnic have decided to test their prac cal skills in the outdoor environment by building and tes ng possum traps.Teacher Rachel McKellar says the students have spent a lot of me researching the subject, deciding what would work best, and making certain the possums are caught alive.

��The students will live trap them on a private farm,�� says Rachel.��They will take them out, set them and check them in a couple of days.��Adam Lilley is enjoying the process and is keen to set up a li le enterprise if he gets the go-ahead.��We have been working in groups of three and have made individual designs in those groups,�� says Adam.��The traps are all caged with either a slide or push door and we are all trying different types of bait.��Rachel says there are 28 students comple ng the task and it is giving them a skill set that the older genera on take for granted.��Dave Burgess of Environment Southland is going to mentor the students,�� she says.

Five business studies students from Aurora College par cipated in the Young Enterprise Scheme held in Invercargill recently.There were two sole trade individuals and a third team of three students.Krystal Robertson invented Lil Grippers. These are an -slide mats that can be fi ed to the foot-well of wheel chairs so in wet condi ons a persons feet don�t slip off .Des ny Henderson invented Huggle Me Bears. These are scented bears offering comfort for children and adults in hospital care.Josh Harding, Regan Henderson and Corey Leask invented a universal guitar strap for both lehanded and right handed players with the added bonus of a place for your guitar pick.Each student developed the product, marketed it, created it, and made a business plan based around the product.

Stem cell treatment -the ‘’wow’’ treatment for arthritis!We are now able to offer you stem cell treatmentsfor cats, dogs and horses. This is used for patientswho have moderate to severe arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries and bone fractures.

So what is stem cell treatment? It is regenerative medicine, where healing of damaged tissue occursthrough stimulating stem cells to promote betterhealing of the body. It is not a new procedure and has been used for about 30 years in different ways. Bone marrow transplants are a form of stem cell treatment. There have been some ethical issuesinvolved when foetal or embryo stem cells have been used, but what we are doing is using the animal’s own cells in a very natural and safe way.

Stem cells need activated to heal tissues. Fat is rich in stem cells and so we use this and combine it with activators which have been separated fromthe animal’s own blood. This is then injected backinto the worst affected areas to heal, with somealso going intravenously to “mop” up areas ofinfl ammation.

These treatments have been used in New Zealand for about two years now and are very safe.

This defi nitely has the “wow” factor – about 80 per cent of animals show amazing results immediately,and continue to improve over the next three months. It is thought that the treatment is a one off one, unless there is of course a further injury.

We are gob-smacked with the improvement in Tuku, our own resident centre cat, and Star. Staris behaving like a two-year-old Labrador and has come off all her pain relief medication. Her owner is delighted and amazed!

The total cost for a stem cell treatment is approximately $2500-3$000 – with savings onongoing medications and the major benefi t of havinga pain-free pet. This is a similar cost to having a new big-screen television set-up for most families.

The whole procedure can be done at the Elles RoadVeterinary Centre or your own vet can collect the fat and blood required for the procedure, we can process it to extract the stem cells, activate themand your own vet can then place them back in yourpet to start the healing process.

To find out more about stem cell treatment,please phone us at the Elles Road VeterinaryCentre on (03) 214 4156 or check out the website www stemvet.co.nz

Obesity in cats & dogsObesity is one of the most signifi cant nutrition related problems seen in pets. Approximately 25 per cent of cats and dogs seen by vets are overweight. Excess weight is harmful to the healthand wellbeing of pets and can make them prone toa number of diseases.

Obesity is a disease in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may benegatively affected. In pets this refers to being 15per cent above optimal body weight.

Obesity occurs due to an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. This can occur if the pet is taking in too many calories and not expending enough energy.

When dealing with an overweight pet, it is important to ensure that a special low calorie food is fed. Itis not recommended to drastically cut down the feeding ration of the normal maintenance diet. A low calorie diet is a safe and effective way ofgetting a pet to lose weight. If a pet is fed their usual diet, but given a reduced portion, this can lead todefi ciencies in essential nutrients. A low calorie dietsupplies all of the proteins, vitamins and mineralsthat an animal needs, whilst containing a reduced energy level.

L-carnitine is an amino acid that can be included in weight loss diets. It allows the fat in the diet to beutilised by the pet’s cells instead of being stored. L-carnitine functions to transport long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria (the “powerhouse” ofthe cell) for energy production. It may help increasethe rate of weight loss.

Come and talk to the friendly team at Petsmart.nz about your pets nutritional requirements.
