The service will also mark the anniversary of the final year of the first world war, although the armistice itself wasn’t signed until November 11. One of the organisers for this year’s event, Ian Warren of Greendale, said having the Mounted Rifles is significant for the local community and Selwyn as a whole. “Thirteen of the names inscribed on the Greendale War Memorial gates, which
lead into the Greendale Domain, were members of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, which became part of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles brigade. “We heard the Mounted Rifles Trust was set to bring some of their members to the Burnham dawn service at the military camp, so we contacted them to see if they could come here as well. Fortunately for us they agreed, and they will be attending our afternoon service.”
New Zealand Mounted Rifles Trust member Mark Appleton who visited Greendale School this week in preparation for the service said New Zealand sent around 10,000 horses to the war and only four returned. “We are hoping to have around 25 horses and riders coming to attend the service in Greendale.” continued on page 4 …

The warning follows the death of a 57-year-old hunter who was killed while hunting the Kaimai Range forest near Te Aroha. Chair of the Firearms Safety Council, Joe Green, said the death of the hunter was a tragedy and sadly a timely reminder to all hunters that they need to take special care when hunting. “While all of the seven basic rules of firearms safety in the Arms Code apply, there are two of those rules that especially apply at this time,” Mr Green said. “Always ensure your firearm is pointed in a safe direction. This includes when hunting with a companion and if you lose sight of your companion. You both need to stop hunting until you have reestablished contact. “No direction is a safe direction, simply because you don’t know where your mate is. Even if you think you see a deer, it could be your mate.” Mr Green said in the past, incidents have often been attributed solely to hunters failing to identify their target. “In about 50% of cases, the hunter shoots a mate they are actually hunting

Dairy cows are responsible for about a quarter of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s the cost of supplying the world with dairy products. But it doesn’t have to be. Planting forests is an easy way to offset greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. An average dairy farmer could plant nearly two hectares a year in radiata pine to totally offset the gases their cows make. It wouldn’t even have to be on their own land. The farmers profit from the trees at harvest – and then replant. There’s a lot of win in this package.

Canine support
A free bus service around Selwyn is being trialled over two days during the school holidays.
p Selwyn Youth Council members Paige Sullivan and Katelyn Twiss visit Environment Canterbury to discuss Selwyn Link
Selwyn Link is an initiative of the Selwyn Youth Council and for two days, buses will travel to and from Southbridge and Darfield via Rolleston. Selwyn Youth Council chair, Paige Sullivan, said the aim of the service is to increase connectedness in the district, particularly during school holidays, and enable the whole community to better access services and activities. “The youth council is very excited to finally be able to offer this service, after 12 months of hard work putting Selwyn Link together,” Ms Sullivan said. “It all started after identifying a need, and then working alongside the youth of Selwyn to find a way to better connect the whole community.” She said youth council research identified Southbridge, Leeston, Doyleston, Darfield, Kirwee, and West Melton as key stops on the trial route, with connections in Rolleston. “The route was designed after consultation with students from Ellesmere College and Darfield High School.” During the trial, passengers will be able to travel for free between Southbridge and Darfield via Rolleston, where they can also catch a connecting service to Christchurch. “The two-day trial is for all members of the community, and is not exclusive

to students on their school holiday.” The bus trial will take place on Tuesday, April 17 and Thursday, April 19. The buses first depart Southbridge and Darfield at 9am and departures from these locations will take place every two hours until 7pm. Members of the youth council will be on board collecting feedback on the service with a short passenger survey, and will present their findings to the Selwyn District Council and Environment Canterbury, which provides bus services to the district.

p Rolleston College students are getting some canine help with their reading. Frosty, a fouryear-old Koolie, who works with the Rolleston Community Library as a reading support dog, now visits the college to help out there as well. Frosty, who is originally from the North Island, comes to Rolleston College every second Wednesday to visit supported learners in the Connected One class. He gives them help with their learning by listening as they read books, as some learners can feel self-conscious about their reading, but Frosty helps them relax and enjoy the experience. Student, Emily Sharratt, said Frosty helps with stress, helps with reading and writing for the learners, and always brings lots of fun. “Thank you to Sarah Sharratt and Frosty for sharing their time with the College.” Student Michaela Brosnan is pictured reading with Frosty.

Mounted rifles for Greendale
Join the conversation u by Sam Broughton, Selwyn Mayor
Selwyn has 60,000 people living across 6,400 square kilometres, driving on 2,600km of roads, with households consuming 6.5 million litres of water annually, and playing in 83 built playgrounds.
p New Zealand Mounted Rifles Trust members Mike Donaldson (left) on Tommy and Mark Appleton on Prue visited Greendale School this week in preparation for this year’s ANZAC service
Ian Warren said 57 former pupils of Greendale School were involved in WWI. Mr Warren’s father, Dorsey Warren, and his father’s brother, were two of the Greendale contingent who served. George Warren embarked for the war in August 1915, and served at Gallipoli and then in Egypt, the Sinai and Palestine. Dorsey Warren, along with cousin and neighbour Frank Rudd, embarked for the Middle East in April 1917, and served in the Sinai and Palestine. Ian Warren said his father hardly ever spoke
about the war and it wasn’t until after he had died, that he came across the letters that his aunts had, from both his uncle and father, that he learnt of their war experience. “These letters have now been typed and produced in a booklet for the descendants of George and Dorsey,” Mr Warren said. “They express a great love to their families back home and they relay at first, the excitement of the war and then the realities of a deathly war, and their yearning for the green pastures of home.” ¢
This doesn’t happen by accident, and we have just released our draft plan to look after what we have, and build for our future. The month of April is your opportunity to voice your support, amendment or objection to this 10-year plan. We have spent the last 18 months bringing together the plans and ideas we have heard from you, costing it all, figuring out when it should be done, and determining what the effect on rates will be. The major proposals include: •• The completion of the Rolleston town centre along Tennyson Street including a cultural space, library, and cinema along with food and beverage outlets overlooking the reserve. •• Major roading upgrades and investment to link our local roads with the new motorway. We also plan to seal some significant link roads where part of the road is already sealed. •• Changes in the way we rate for halls and for reserves as well as for water races. •• An extension of the Selwyn Aquatic Centre which received over 300,000 visits last year.
•• A new indoor court facility at Foster Park, which would have eight courts on two surfaces and could cater for sports like basketball and futsal to community events like car shows and indoor ice skating. •• A conversation about drinking water safety and chlorination. Selwyn has 30 drinking water supplies (some from rivers, others from deep wells), five of them chlorinated. There are lots of other items too including walking and cycling, new community centres in Hororata, Leeston and Prebbleton, investment in solid waste. The plan will mean an average rate increase of 4% annually for the next 10 years. Some places will pay more while others will pay less. The affordability of our plans is very important to me, as I know it is to you, so please let us know where we are going right, or what you would like us to change. I’m visiting local cafes over the next month to meet and discuss these plans, so feel free to join the conversation. You can check out the plan by picking one up at a council service centre or online at selwyn.govt.nz. ¢

Kinetic sculpture in West Melton
Marathon has run-on effect u by Mike Isle
u by Kent Caddick
Sharp-eyed West Melton residents have been admiring a kinetic sculpture adorning the local school. The sculpture is the work of pupil Otis, and follows on from a presentation to the school’s year five and six pupils on the engineering of sculptures by Lewis Bradford Consulting Engineers director, Helen Trappitt, in 2016, which was held in conjunction with teachers Jo Buckenham and Bronwen Seaward. From this presentation, Ms Trappitt set up a design competition with the support of principal Sue Jackson. Students produced drawings or prototypes, and a group of finalists presented their designs to Helen Trappitt and Sue Jackson for judging. Otis’s design was selected as the winner. Ms Trappitt project managed, engineered and partly funded the fabrication of the sculpture. Prometal cut the design, while Placemakers Hornby supplied the suppor t structure materials. Cam Seaward coordinated the team from Avon City Ford Panel and Paint, who gave the sculpture a professional paint job to withstand the elements, and Simon Scarlett, from builders LSDC, installed it on the roof of the school. Otis is pretty pleased with the result. “I feel really proud when I see it up

The introduction of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award into the Youth Unit at Christchurch Men’s Prison in Rolleston is paying dividends — not only for the young men themselves, but also for the wider community, after 25 youth from the Unit took part in a sponsored marathon that raised $400 for Te Whare Hauora (formerly Otautahi Women’s Refuge). The marathon, which was run earlier this year around the inside perimeter of the prison, was the brainchild of the Joshua Foundation’s Chris Allan, who delivers the world’s leading youth achievement award ‘behind the wire’, in association with the Department of Corrections.

Graduation piper marks milestone
Artists Against Slavery exhibition
A key figure in Lincoln University’s graduation history will be marking an important milestone at this year’s event on April 13.
u by Kent Caddick
p Piper Stuart Wood leads last year’s Lincoln University graduation procession through the Lincoln township
It’s been 20 years since bagpiper, Stuart Wood, led his first parade of graduating students to their destination in 1998, and he’s faithfully returned every year to carry out this crucial duty. Mr Wood has seen plenty of changes over the past two decades. The graduation procession now travels 2km from the University through the township to the Lincoln Events Centre, but this wasn’t always the case. “Graduation used to be held in the Christchurch Town Hall. We would start the procession in the city, from the Arts Centre car park on Worcester Street.” Mr Wood said. “The event was moved to the Lincoln township after the
September 2010 earthquakes.” Mr Wood has had a keen interest in the bagpipes for as long as he can remember. “Apparently, I wanted to play them when I was two-and-a-half years old, and I got there eventually. “I played in my first Dominion Contest, now called the Nationals, in Carisbrook in the 1970s, when I was about 14, I think.” He said he always enjoys leading the Lincoln procession. “I really like to do it for the feel-good factor, for me and the public. I think I just phoned the uni one day and asked to lead the procession, and that’s how it started.” ¢

RESIDENTIAL
A leader by example u by Andy Bryenton
The role of a Victorian era bishop would not seem to be one, which suited a free spirit — let alone a man of action determined to challenge orthodoxy. But just like the bishop in a game of chess, who can surprise the unwary player by moving diagonally clear across the board, Bishop George Augustus Selwyn built a career on outworking, out-thinking and always surprising his contemporaries. He is commemorated by many honours, not the least of which is the name of this part of New Zealand; and the date of his birth and the date of his death fall within a week of each other — on April 5 and April 11 respectively, 69 years apart and 140 years ago. The young George Selwyn was privileged enough to attend Eton and then go on to study at Cambridge, where he initially impressed his masters; as much as an athlete as a scholar. He was known as a strong swimmer, as well as a top oarsman and even a boxer. This last sport was much rougher in the early 1800s, and professional fighters went on round after round without gloves, until one was knocked out. Selwyn went on to concentrate on rowing, and competed in the first ever Oxford versus Cambridge

rowing race, now a long-standing institution. This very physical side was mirrored by a keen academic mind, and soon George had earned his bachelor of arts, and was set upon becoming a minister of the church. His friends, including William Gladstone, rose to high office, and this speeded his rise to fame in the clerical world. He was noted for his ‘vigorous ministry’ and his highminded ideals, as well as his robust approach to worldly matters — it is perhaps a combination of these traits, which led to him being put forward as a candidate to be Bishop of New Zealand and Polynesia. There is a sense that as well as being a devout preacher and intelligent man of letters, the strong-willed, physically powerful young minister may have been given the appointment to take him far away from more sedate, set-in-their-ways church officials. It’s telling that the first

Waitangi — Selwyn voraciously read up on any facts to help him in his task. He was lucky enough to share his ship with a young Maori traveller who had come to England with whalers, and by the time they reached New Zealand in May 1842, Selwyn knew enough Te Reo Maori to preach in this language. This was impressive enough to a people who had previously never seen an Anglican Bishop, let alone had such an important white personage address them as equals in a common language. However, it was Selwyn’s boundless energy, which impressed both settlers and Maori alike. Within ten days of arriving at the Bay of Islands he set out to meet his parishioners. In London, this would have been accomplished by a walk around the streets and a few formal visits for tea

and cakes. Here, it meant a 2,300 mile combination of hiking, horse riding, trekking through forests and paddling in waka. He performed baptisms while on this tour, sometimes in very impromptu circumstances — for example, appearing from out of the bush to greet a farmer’s wife and ask if there were any children in need of this service. When told that the lady would have to ask her husband if this was all right with the church, he replied ‘I’m certain it will be fine – I’m the Bishop!’ Selwyn also taught himself to sail, and purchased a small schooner called the Undine. Not knowing that he was a world-class oarsman in his younger days, the tough sailors of the colonies laughed at the idea of a Bishop learning their trade. He took to it like a natural, once again displaying physical strength not normally associated with highranking clergymen. Some sailors saw his command of the Undine as almost miraculous. One sailor commented that ‘to see the Bishop handle a boat was almost enough to make a man a Christian’. Soon he was touring the country in his schooner, often charting parts of the coast, which were poorly mapped. Eventually he would travel to the Pacific Islands on this tiny boat — and here he refused to bring the ‘good word’ to native populations, already served by other denominations. Instead he concentrated on places unvisited by missionaries, often confronting populations with hostile reputations. His zeal, energy and diplomacy meant that he made many more friends for the church than enemies. Selwyn’s advocacy of Maori rights, annoyed his European contemporaries for most of his career. He was accused of disloyalty to the Crown, and tried to mediate to stop bloodshed where he could, as the land wars unfolded. Bitterly disappointed in his own mistake of serving as chaplain with the forces of
Duncan Cameron — the leader during the disaster at Gate Pa — Selwyn stepped aside from political and military affairs. But he remained a beloved religious leader, so much so, that his farewell service in Auckland, when he left to take up the less stressful role of Bishop of Lichfield, England, was attended by personages from the government, commerce, culture and even notable Maori chiefs. The venerable Bishop passed away on April 11 1878, and his last words were in Te Reo Maori — ‘it is all light’. His name adorns many places in New Zealand, but the geographic placement of our own region provides a play on words, which reflects George Selwyn’s mission in life. As an Anglican bishop, he served as ‘the heart and spirit of Canterbury’ — the Archbishop of Canterbury being his immediate superior. Selwyn District fulfils the same role in relation to the Canterbury region on the new Zealand map today — a wonderful tribute to a man who navigated by his own compass of faith and determination. ¢

Wings and Wheels in Darfield u by Kim Lewis
Hosted at Charlie and Jo Draper’s farm on Kimberley Road, with stunning views of the Southern Alps and a private airstrip, the biennial Wings and Wheels fundraiser graced the roads and blue skies of Darfield again on Saturday. Funds raised from the event will go to assist the Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade. Sheffield Volunteer Fire Chief, Nev Croy, said it was the sixth time they have held the Wings and Wheels fundraiser. “This year, the money raised will go towards the purchase of a heat imaging camera. “This type of camera will allow us to locate hot spots in smouldering fires.” Many of the stallholders, had recently returned from the Warbirds Over Wanaka to support the event, along with representatives from BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse). Malvern Lions, Darfield Primary and Darfield Playcentre were on hand to keep the crowds fed and watered. Young and old alike were treated to static displays of classic cars, motorcycles and farm machinery. Darfield’s Bedford fire engine was on
hand taking visitors around the site, and the New Zealand Fire and Emergency Service used virtual reality goggles to demonstrate the dangers of fire. Charlie Draper, himself a pilot and owner of a 1952 Auster J1B, was too busy managing the aerial displays to fly himself. “There are so many people who have given up their time to help organise this event, and the owners of the planes, helicopters, cars, bikes and farm machinery who have all attended at considerable cost to themselves. We cannot thank them enough for their ongoing support. “Particular thanks go to Brian Hall, for bringing his Harvard, and Kevin Langford for flying it.” Among the donations to the Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade was a “sizeable” one from members of the American Classic Car Club. ¢

THE RECORD
Auto & Marine ADVERTORIAL
Composting toilets for the boat Composting toilets are not a thing that you would automatically associate with boats. They belong in the bush right? Wrong! The new generation of composting toilets have so many advantages for the boating fraternity, that it is hard to justify the ‘Dump N Pump’ systems commonly in use around our coast. Firstly they are lightweight. The total system weighs just 12kg when it’s installed. Whether you are in racing or cruising mode, the weight advantage over a system that includes pumps, hoses and a holding tank and its contents, relates to not only a saving in the weight, but also that other precious commodity space. What about the smell? Anyone who has worked on replacing or repairing smelly hoses and pumps or even had to cope with a surcharging holding tank, will not have good memories of that summer. Because these units retain the separation of liquids and solids, there is no toxic mix and there is no smell. You can comfortably and easily install these units in a confined space in a boat, caravan, tiny home or sleep-out without the hint of ‘dunny’ odour. They use no water, no plumbing is required and the fresh water can be saved for the cuppa
or the dishes, because the airhead composting toilet is totally self-contained you can eliminate that through-hull fitting. Yet another special feature that makes these composting toilets boat-friendly is their low maintenance and running cost. The solids tank beneath the boat holds a quantity of inert peat moss. That material will easily last for the duration of the entire summer cruise for a family of four or five. A $30 bale of peat moss will last the average boatie around two years. The big advantage these units offer is the elimination of ‘dumping’ of solid waste around our coastal waters and lakes. Imagine being able to jump in the tide for an early morning dip without the threat of bumping into a ‘floaty’. These units must be a serious consideration for boaties, whether you are weekend cruisers, racing addicts or living the dream as a live-aboard. These composting toilets offer a relatively new concept for boaties and Enviromarine NZ Ltd is serious about promoting these units. We are happy to meet with your club or group of friends to ‘show you the goods’.

Rise of the red contender u by Andy Bryenton
Kymco is one of the biggest names in global scooter, ATV and motorbike manufacturing — but many of us here in New Zealand have only just heard the name of this massive industrial powerhouse. With customers all throughout the challenging Asian market Kymco actually produce more units than several other big names combined. It all began back in 1963, when even the Japanese auto industry was in its infancy. The whole nation of Taiwan was only founded a decade or so earlier, and helping build a transport infrastructure for a brand new state gave Kymco a steep learning curve. They’ve relished a challenge ever since, taking on the Thai jungles, Cambodian hill country, Burmese river lowlands and even more. After that gruelling testing ground, Kiwi farms should be a walk in the park, right? Well, the engineers at Kymco know that the answer is both yes and no. Harsh terrain comes in different varieties, and the rocky, muddy conditions in our back country may not contain so many poisonous spiders and snakes, but they are a rugged test for a quad. Hence the hours of research and development poured into their MXU 500 ATV — a workhorse designed to keep going and going on the farm, season after season.
It begins with a high-torque 36 horsepower engine mounted low and central for intuitive balance and control. A tried and tested double overhead cam, four-stroke, liquid cooled 499cc mill provides the get up and go, sitting in that sweet spot between raw power and fuel efficiency. Everything here is designed with ease of use in mind, and some old-fashioned rugged sensibilities are still present for emergencies. Here’s one feature which says it all — there is a modern electric starter, as one would expect. But if you’re out in the field and suffer damage there’s a backup pull starter just in case. This might be a convenience here, but overseas where being stuck in the hinterland is far more dangerous, it’s a life saver. This emphasis on simple and multiplebacked-up systems goes on throughout. The four disc brakes are designed not to pick up muck and stones. The chassis is made to be easy to water blast clean.
The CVT auto gearbox adjusts itself to the towed load and onboard weight so there’s no need to wrangle a gear stick. And when it comes to servicing and basic maintenance, everything is right there. Kymco have made a reputation out of building easy-to-use,
hard to break machines for people who don’t have the benefit of a first world infrastructure. It’s the right kind of thinking for the Kiwi farm, another place where self-reliance and clever thinking have triumphed over the adversity of nature. ¢
