The exhibition showcases New Zealand’s protected areas and encompasses a range of exhibits, including a three-metre tall giant moa skeleton, outdoor equipment, signs, books, and historic documents. The project is part of Lincoln’s five-year collaboration with leading Chinese universities and links with the Chinese Government’s push to establish a national agency to manage its protected areas. Head of Lincoln’s DesignLab and project lead, Associate Professor Mick Abbott, said countries like China look to New Zealand for leadership and ideas on how to effectively deliver biodiversity outcomes while managing recreation, tourism and public involvement in conservation values. “The exhibition also showcases Lincoln’s research, and that of Tsinghua University on the future direction of protected area management,” he said. “New Zealand has a lot to share on how to manage adverse environmental impacts in protected areas. We can also learn a lot from how China celebrates its cultural connections with nature.”

p Lincoln University Associate Professor Mick Abbott speaking during the exhibition opening

Associate Professor Abbott said the collaboration would strengthen New Zealand’s connection with China through the sharing of knowledge and networks. The exhibition, held at the Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture, was opened by New Zealand’s ambassador to China, John McKinnon. The Department of Conservation and the New Zealand Centre in Beijing were also represented. ¢

Selwyn community-based groups and individuals are being encouraged to apply for funding for their next project through the Creative Communities New Zealand Scheme. The Creative Communities Scheme is administered by Selwyn District Council on behalf of Creative New Zealand and supports local arts and cultural activities. Selwyn arts coordinator Becca Bouffandeau said all kinds of groups or individuals should consider applying for the funding. “If you’ve got an idea for a creative, community project then I’d really like to encourage you to apply to this fund. If you need any support or advice about how it works then I’d be happy to help,” she said. “Projects or activities must encourage community involvement, support arts and culture, or enable young people to actively participate in the arts. “In the past, Creative Communities funding has supported projects and activities in Selwyn such as exhibitions, productions, concerts, festivals, workshops and presentations that offer opportunities for community involvement in the arts.” Three Selwyn groups received support in the last funding round in August. Lincoln Patchwork and Quilters furthered creative fabric activities

for local residents by establishing a local group. The Lincoln Light Party Committee used their funding to run the Lincoln Light Party 2017, a local festival for children and their families, while the Malvern Community Arts Council used the funding it received to put on the recent ‘Love, Loss & Café Operana’ musical concert in Darfield. The closing date for this round of funding is November 24. For funding application forms, visit selwyn.govt.nz. ¢

Games to mark Armistice Day u by Kent Caddick

… continued from front page

New youth group for Selwyn

A special ceremony to mark the ending of World War I will be held as part of this year’s Hororata Highland Games.

p Members of the newly formed Selwyn Youth Advisory Group meet at Generation House in Rolleston

p The Hororata Highland Games will host one of the biggest highland dancing competitions in New Zealan

One of the biggest Scottish festivals in the Southern hemisphere, the Hororata Highland Games is on this Saturday at the Hororata Domain. “This year the games falls on Armistice Day, November 11, and in respect of this, there will be a remembrance held at 11am right before the Chieftain’s Welcoming Ceremony,” event manager Cindy Driscoll said. She said the games is a vibrant cultural festival with something for everyone and 2017 will be no exception. “The Scottish heavy events are always an exciting and different sport for spectators with the best athletes in the world battling it out for the Oceania Heavyweight Championship. “We have one of the biggest highland dancing competitions in New Zealand which run right throughout the day.” There will be over 100 market stalls surrounding the event offering a huge variety of craft, produce, clothes, jewellery and much more. “There is a great range of food vendors to tempt taste buds, with more Scottish food to experience, including haggis burgers, Lorne sausage, black pudding and chocolate cranachan, than ever before,” Mrs Driscoll said. “Of course the Hororata Pie eating

competition will be back along with a new porridge eating competition for the kids. People can visit Clan Lane and discover their Scottish heritage or connect with their own clan. “Also new for 2017 is our Whisky Seminars with Michael Fraser-Milne, from Whisky Galore, who has partnered with the Hororata Community Trust to source and promote the Hororata Whisky. “Each year the Trust launches new whiskies which generally sell out at the games. A common comment from visitors is they want to hear more about Scotland’s national drink.” The Hororata Highland Games will begin at 9am and run through until the closing ceremony at 4pm. ¢

Many of those who attended the first meeting of the SYAG were former members of the Selwyn Youth Council, which, under Mr Martin’s mentorship, won a number of national awards for their work. “It is fitting these young people are involved because it was really their vision which resulted in the set up of Generation House in the first place,” Mr Martin said. “The youth council always wanted to set up a place where young people of the district could meet to exchange ideas and have a space where those ideas could become reality, whether that be a performance space, a learning area or even a radio station. “Generation House is way more than they imagined but is based on their values and what they wanted to do. So while the youth council is no longer involved we want to honour the spirit of what they wanted and give the young people of the district a chance to speak to the project now.”

Mr Martin said they have been offered a space on the Generation House property to achieve their goals. A six-car garage has been offered to the youth group and funding is in place to line the garage. “We wanted the young people of the district to have a look at the space and to come forward with ideas on how best to use it. “We aren’t going to tell them what the space is for, we want to hear from them what they think is the best use for the space, and we will help to make it happen.” Mr Martin has been a youth worker for around 30 years and is currently working as a youth advisor with other regional councils and community groups. He said some of the ideas which came out of the inaugural meeting of the youth advisory group for using the space included a dance studio, developing a social enterprise scheme, setting up a community garden, and as a base for community events. ¢

THE RECORD

Be fire safe this summer u by Sam Broughton, Selwyn Mayor

Fire and Emergency New Zealand has recently released its review of the Port Hills fires in February. The fires themselves were unprecedented in New Zealand for their ferocity and proximity to a city. They covered 1,600ha or 1,600 rugby fields and released the energy equivalent of three Hiroshima sized atomic bombs. Sadly Steve Askin lost his life while combating the fires from the air and nine homes were completely destroyed. Fire personnel fought the fires for over two months until extinguished and we are grateful for their efforts in evacuating people, saving many buildings, and working through very hot days to put the fire out. The review commented on all this good work but also highlighted some areas for improvement, particularly around communication. The lessons learned from last fire season will be implemented through Fire and Emergency New Zealand, the newly established agency. The communication improvements will also be implemented through Selwyn District Council during future emergency events. Our staff and volunteers are keenly aware of keeping people informed with good information. Below are five things that everyone living in Selwyn can

do to help themselves and their family should a fire threaten this summer. Exit Plan Growing up in a two-storey house I remember Mum and Dad talking to us about how we would get out of the house in a fire should we not be able to get down the stairs. The fires last year highlighted the need for a plan, not only get your family out of your house, but also a plan to get off and away from your property or farm, and should include safe routes and where to meet. Tennis Balls Last summer a number of fire personnel told me of homes they had seen burn down. They commented that they (including brick and timber clad homes) usually burned from the roof down and that the best defence was to block your down pipes when you evacuate your house. They said it was as simple as having some tennis balls on hand for the job. That way if a monsoon bucket drops water on your roof, it stays on your roof rather than filling your soak holes. Fuel and firewood Another thing we can all do is to think sensibly about what items we leave

p Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton, centre, talks with then Prime Minister Bill English and Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel during February’s Port Hills fire

lying against the side of our houses that burn. I often see firewood stacked to dry against a house or garage. That fuel makes it easier for a wildfire to set the adjacent structure on fire. So think about the places you store your firewood and other fuel you store for lawn mowers and motorbikes. Plants Keeping large sources of fuel away from our homes is very important. Many homes have large hedges close to them, these hedges will make it hard to defend your home from fire should they catch alight. Tussocks planted around the edge of homes will also make it harder to keep your house safe in a fire emergency. There are many guides online with lists of plants that are fire

resistant, check them out when you are planting. Access The last thing in this list to think about is how safe it is for fire crews to access your property. Hedges down both sides of your access that could burn, and nowhere to safely park a fire appliance, will mean that you may not receive the help you expect. Many of our towns do not have fire hydrants meaning the water to fight your fire will come from tanker trucks or your own water stored onsite. Is this easily accessed? I trust this list is helpful in generating some discussion about what you would do if your family or home are threatened this summer. ¢

Spring fair success

Motor Fest ready to rumble

u by Kent Caddick

This year’s annual Hororata Parish Spring Fair fundraiser has raised over $12,000 which will go to support a number of local community ventures.

Organisers of Rolleston’s first Selwyn Motor Festival say they have been overwhelmed by the response of the local community to the new event.

p Children enjoyed clambering over vintage farm machinery at the Hororata Parish Spring Fair

The fair was held in near perfect conditions in the Hororata Domain on Labour Day. “We couldn’t have asked for a better day” Reverend Jenni Carter said. “It was a lovely relaxed afternoon. People could enjoy the goodies on offer, catch up with neighbours, and welcome newcomers into our community.” The day provided a great family day out and raised the funds necessary to continue the Parish’s support work in the community. The event raised more than last year, at just over $12,000, with raffle takings still to be counted. “We’re astounded at the generosity and would like to thank everyone who joined us,” Hororata Parish Spring Fair Organiser Lucy Cookson said. “By coming to events like this year on

year, the community reinforces their support. This is such a team effort and if it wasn’t for our wonderful volunteers, the behind the scenes jam makers, cake bakers, our local green thumbs, and our ever generous sponsors and donators, the fair would just not happen.” Bargains were found in the ever popular White Elephant stalls and bids were keen at the Country Auction. The Kid’s Sack Race was popular once again while the Egg and Spoon races and the Gumboot tossing drew the crowds. This year the Creative Kids competition had ‘Water Works’ as its theme and drew some clever entries including a working model of water pumping in and over a waterfall. The top award, known as the ‘Vicar’s Choice’ went to Abagail Driscoll for her entry ‘A Lake Inside a Cake’. ¢

The inaugural Selwyn Motor Fest and Family Fun Day will be held on Rolleston on Sunday, November 26, with proceeds from the event going to St John Selwyn Central, which recently opened its new ambulance base in the town. Local district councillor Craig Watson said the organising committee had been overwhelmed with the community spirit in Selwyn with over $30,000 pledged to run the event. “When you add up sponsorship, donations of items for the day along with discounted and in-kind support our amazing community have got behind the Jones Road Auto Selwyn Motor Fest, and more importantly St John Selwyn Central, in a big way,” Cr Watson said. “Of course our challenge now, and the challenge for the wider community, is to work together to match or even beat that amount in proceeds to support our local deserving St John service.” Cr Watson said when they started out six months ago they never imagined the level of support that has been shown for the inaugural event “We want to thank every business, every family and every organisation

p The inaugural Selwyn Motor Fest and Family Fun Day will spark into life this month

which has shown their support. We are a very small team of volunteers who have worked tirelessly for the last few months to deliver a pretty exciting product that we are really proud of.” Besides the hundreds of cars, trucks, motorbikes and tractors on show, there will be exhibits from local emergency services, the New Zealand Trucking Association, vintage clubs, rally cars, Selwyn District Council and Selwyn Parenting Network. For the kids there are bouncy castles, face painting, pony rides and more, with over 15 food vendors and 30 plus market holders on site. The event, to be held adjacent to Rolleston College, will run from 10am to 3pm, Sunday, November 26. ¢

Winning streak continues for Weedons

u by Kent Caddick

Leeston-Southbridge continued their unbeaten run this season to remain at the top of the CRV Ambreed Country Premier one day cricket competition after five rounds. Leeston-Southbridge remains the only unbeaten team in the premiership after ruthlessly dispatching Lincoln on Saturday, rolling the home side for just 39 in the 22nd over. Cameron Norton and Dougald Munro were the main destroyers, bagging three wickets each, as Lincoln batted carelessly with many batsmen falling to soft dismissals. The competition’s top run-scorer Jeremy Benton was uprooted by a low diving catch by Liam O’Sullivan off Norton’s bowling. No Lincoln player scored more than eight runs, and there were four ducks. Leeston-Southbridge’s run chase took just 15 overs, with the loss of two wickets. Meanwhile, Weedons recorded backto-back wins when they demolished Darfield-South Malvern (DSM) by 161 runs at Darfield Domain. Batting first, the visitors racked up 216/8 in their allotted 45 overs, with many batsmen contributing handy runs. Shanon Dunnett led the way by smashing an unbeaten 47 off 36 balls. Opening quick Sandeep Singh tore through DSM to snare six wickets as

the home team capitulated to be all out for 55 inside 17 overs. A gritty last wicket partnership steered Sefton to a win over Southbrook at Sefton Domain. Home captain Andrew Laffey led Sefton to victory with both bat and ball. Batting first, the Sefton Seals were in trouble at 111/9. However, Laffey and Barry Cross knuckled down to produce an outstanding partnership which took Sefton to 149 in the last available over. Skipper Laffey then turned the screws with his left-arm spin as Southbrook were strangled in their run chase. They were all out for 104, to lose by 45 runs. In the final match of the round Cheviot were too good for Oxford in the game played at Dudley Park in Rangiora. Batting first a half century from George Waddy helped Cheviot through to 176/9 in their allotted overs. In reply Oxford crumbled to be all out for 94 with Dave Fulton top-scoring with 37, and Harrison Cox and Chris Burnett taking three wickets each. Short scorecard: Sefton 149 (A. Laffey 33, T.

Sheep milk good for green image

New Lincoln research points to sheep dairy better fulfilling New Zealand’s green credentials than its cow counterparts.

p Sheep milk adds to New Zealand’s drive for environmentally sustainable agricultural production according to research undertaken at Lincoln University

p It was a close finish in the Y8 boys’ race at the recent West Melton School athletics day, with Ryder A, Jayden W and Buz B all hitting the finishing line at the same time. The trio were among 160 pupils competing in the Y4 to Y8 athletics competition with competitors participating in discus, shot put, long jump and sprinting events. This year some new fun events were introduced into the day, including hurdle relay, Pass the Torch relay, and Tug of War, all of which proved to be very popular especially the Vortex Throw. Overall, 19 West Melton School athletics records were broken on the day and 51 athletes were selected to compete at the Lincoln/Selwyn Central Zone Athletics competition being held at Brookside Park in Rolleston this week.

Dr Nic Lees, a senior lecturer in Agribusiness Management at Lincoln University co-authored the paper ‘Competitive advantage through responsible innovation in the New Zealand sheep dairy industry’. His research finds, rather than competing on cost the sheep dairy industry should promote sustainability and environmental benefits. “Future environmental constraints make milking sheep a more sustainable option than milking cows in New Zealand,” Dr Lees said. “Sheep do not have the same nitrogen leaching effect as cows because they have a lower volume

By emphasising these attributes in marketing, sheep dairy products could obtain market advantage and could potentially gain higher product premiums. “At the same time, this would help meet the requirement for environmentally sustainable agricultural production. “Fur thermore, consumers are increasingly looking for foods that align with their personal values, such as environmental sustainability, animal welfare, fair trade and organic production. Dr Lees said it is estimated that the demand for sheep milk is growing by up to 20% each year. ¢

Courtenay A&P

Showtime for Courtenay u by Kent Caddick

Sustainable farming is the theme for the 142nd annual Courtenay A&P Show. This year’s show, run by the Courtenay A&P Association, will be held at the Kirwee Showgrounds on Saturday, November 25. Show president Ashley Seaton said there is currently much talk about sustainable farming. “It’s a relevant theme in this day and age,” Mr Seaton said. “It’s also an opportunity for those living in town to come out and see what it is all about.” He said farmers have to be working in a sustainable way to succeed. Ashley and his wife Anna, along with their two children Georgia 5, and Fergus, farm 760ha around Courtenay. The couple are expecting their third child next month. His grandfather and father are both past presidents of the Show, in 1952 and 1992 respectively. “I joined the Courtenay A&P Association in 2004 but as kids Dad was on the committee so we all come down to help out with working bees and stuff.” One of the changes the Association has introduced this year is a Show Guide which is free to all groups and families who attend. The Show Guide replaces the bulky show catalogue of events. “Rather than having the old catalogue which you had to buy we have the Show Guide which people will get for free when they enter. There’s also a pullout kid’s competition in the centre and there’s a few prizes involved in that.” Each event area will have its own specific catalogue, while the full catalogue will still be available from the secretary’s office. The 2017 show will once again have a strong equine flavour. “In many ways it is the equestrian entries that keep the show going,” Ashley said. He said as president he is looking forward to being able to have a good

All fired up u by Andy Bryenton

When it was first designed, the now-iconic Mini was a response to the shock oil crisis of the post war years. There was real trepidation that this tiny car — one of the first with a transverse engine and front drive — would be a flop. But motorists loved its cheeky personality, and its nimble handling made it a force to be reckoned with on the world’s rally circuits. A new model, produced by BMW, carried on the public’s love for this small car — although the second generation is actually not so tiny. But it’s the influence of the mini on other vehicles which is just as important, and one of its spiritual successors is doing amazingly well for

itself in the Kiwi market. Suzuki’s 1.2 litre Ignis is, like the original Mini, a bit of an oddity on paper. A tiny sports utility with determinedly retro styling and a small footprint, the little machine from Japan has that same cheeky wheels-to-the-corners look. Inside,

‘retro’ price. This fun factor, inexpensive cost and a willing and peppy little engine under the hood have made the Ignis a fast favourite. Suzuki must be having deja vu, because their latest offering is repeating the success story of the modern Swift, now also in its third generation. Putting the Ignis in the SUV section of the national sales charts puts it up against stiff competition such as the mighty Land Cruiser and Ford Everest, but the Ignis has gobbled up 6.8 per cent of the market share. That’s fantastic for such a compact and distinctive car. There’s another accolade which the Ignis shares with the Swift — both are short-listed to win the coveted New Zealand Car of the Year award. Once again, competition will be tight with a stable of excellent motors lining up against Suzuki’s pair. A win for the Ignis as ‘best SUV’ would be a real coup, though even to have come this far is a victory in itself.

p Victa are no strangers to electric power — a tough new mower completes the range with voltage to spare

But there’s been one nut that’s proven tougher to crack — the world of the back lawn. We all remember early attempts at corded electric mowers, and that stigma has meant skepticism when faced with a new breed. Well, not any more. Victa, who know petrol mowers literally inside out, knew that they would have to exceed to succeed. To convince the public that their new range of all electric mowers were up to the standard we demand — and let’s face it, we ask our mowers to handle some pretty gnarly grass — Victa packed in more power. The result is an 82 Volt, battery powered monster that’s hungry for even the meanest lawns. That big battery pack can be charged in just half an hour and lasts long enough to clean up your average section. If that’s not enough, the mower comes with two — one can charge while the other is in use. As you can imagine, 82 volts does

Pay attention!

the business — hard-core cordless drills and other construction tools pack in 18 volts and dominate wood and metal. So power is no issue — but there are other factors at play here as well. Imagine a mower that can be stored upright or hung up out of the way, with no fuel to leak out. Imagine, indeed, never having to fill that jerry can again to mow the lawn, or forget to do so on Friday, ruining your Saturday. No more pull starts, either, or stalls, or flooding — in fact, a fully electric mower could make taming the lawn as easy as using the old electric razor. The last thing Victa saw as wrong with old, corded mowers — aside from getting rid of that long, tanglesome cord — was their flimsy construction. Their 82V range are made of solid steel, with a wide 21 inch cutting deck, sturdy handles, big, chunky wheels with plenty of grip and a high capacity catcher.

Everything you’d expect from a top-fuel petrol mower — without the petrol. If seeing is believing, come and check out this latest step forward in lawn care soon at your local outdoor power equipment specialists. ¢
