Geoff and Rochelle Spark started work on the dam in 2010 and while the main purpose of the lake was irrigation, recreation also played an important role in the design process.
Witnessing a wide range of birds return to the area, along with the surprise growth of bulrushes and grasses along the lake edge has been another positive.
Spark and his family spend much of their free time over the summer months at the lake and enjoy entertaining friends at the picturesque spot. They've also hosted the NZ under 21 kayaking team for practice sessions and will host the Oxman half ironman in December.
Petra, pictured, is an 11-year-old Abyssinian cat with no tail who is looking for a new home after her owner died.
She's one of hundreds of cats needing new homes in North Canterbury every years, according to Cat Care Incorporated.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.
Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.
Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

This is just an observation and not a challenge, after reading the comments on the Poll for Daylight Saving.
If we no longer eat meat of any kind, drink animal milk or use any of the bi products of animal milk -
What will happen to the animals who supply all of this?
Farmers of all kinds can't and, I expect, won't want to breed, keep, house, whatever they do at the moment, any of these non-productive animals and birds.
So ........
What is going to happen to all the cows, sheep, pigs, deer, chickens, turkeys, ducks etc etc?
Do we just wipe out all of the above?
We can't set them free. There won't be enough land because I expect farmers will have to go back to growing grain etc.
Is there a logical, calm, level-headed, answer to all of this?
Because the next thing may be that the grain we eat is full of chemicals and will also cause many illnesses and death via diseases.
Will people then start arguing for the grain to be monitored or whatever?

I am available through late October, November, January and February (at this stage I have a tentative place penciled in for Dec but that may change).
I am in my late 30's so you don't need to worry about me having parties in your home, I am house trained, I love animals and will abide by your house rules as fair as your pets are concerned. Currently I have my 10yr old every second week and would like to continue with this so hopefully that isn't a deal breaker for you. If you think I could be of assistance, please get in touch either on here or via my email juanitapm@gmail.com
