The founder of the Selwyn Creative Network Rachael Inch, believes that one of the best things about Selwyn is its close-knit communities, particularly in rural and isolated areas. “People are always willing to lend a hand to their neighbours and help out when times are tough and come together to celebrate the good things. The Selwyn Creative Network holds that same ethos at the heart of what it does,” she said. In 2017, Inch had the vision to create a positive impact in the community through the arts by advocating for the sector to be recognised as a valid service for providing socioeconomic opportunities. “The arts are vital in bringing a community together, creating a sense of belonging, purpose and identity,” Inch said. “This can impact positively on the social, mental and economic wellbeing of the community.” Inch said her 17-year background in the arts as a volunteer in her previous role with the district council and Selwyn Arts Trust meant her passion and support for the creative sector remained at the fore. “Working with the team at Rolleston Salvation Army and alongside many community members and groups in Selwyn to establish Generation House Project, I saw the needs of the Selwyn communities at grass roots level. “Imagine what impact we can have for people now and future generations if we recognise the arts as a valid

In 2018, with the support of its governance team and Steven Moe of Parry Field Lawyers and founder of the Seeds podcast, the Selwyn Creative Network was successful in its application to register as a New Zealand charity. There are many ways to support the Selwyn Creative Network, which are listed on their website selwyncreativenetwork. com or follow them on Facebook @SelwyncreativeNetwork. 

Michelle Bassett, a mother of three who lives in Charing Cross, says the Christchurch Hospital’s neonatal and acute children’s wards are in desperate need for teddy bears and she, and the law firm she works for, Harmans Lawyers in Papanui, are urging local knitters to make a teddy or two and donate it to the hospital. Michelle says the teddies are easy to make and she even has a pattern, which The Record is happy to publish here. Michelle and a work colleague at Harmans, Susan McDonnell-Golds, came up with the idea of going public after they heard the hospital used knitted teddy bears as a gift for children in the hospital and for new babies to take home. Hospital chaplain Mary Minson said that they were giving away 30 teddy bears or more a week and most of those were coming from church groups, but such was the popularity of them that the hospital was struggling to meet the numbers required. “It is just wonderful to see the children’s faces when they are given one of the bears. It is just a moment of joy for them, and we are immensely grateful to everybody that takes the time to make and donate the bears,” she said. Michelle Bassett has made her public plea on various Facebook pages, including her own, in Selwyn and is organising local drop-off points. In the meantime, teddy bears can be taken directly to Christchurch Hospital, to Harmans Lawyers 485 Papanui Road or by emailing Michelle at Michelle.Bassett@harmans.co.nz to arrange collection.

Construction begins on sports facility pool

Midwife among those killed

u by Mike Isle

Minister for Sport and Recreation Grant Robertson, Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Megan Woods and Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel were all at a sod-turning last week marking the start of construction of a new indoor 50-metre competition swimming pool and dive well for Christchurch.

Police have released the names of three people killed in road fatalities in what has started as a horror month on Selwyn roads. Two people died in a crash at the intersection of State Highway 77/ Waimarama Road and State Highway 72 in Methven on June 4. They were 65-year-old Darrel Raymond Blair and 62-year-old Maria Charles Blair of Ashburton. The woman who died in a separate crash on West Coast Road West Melton on June 2 has been identified as a local midwife. She was Tai Tarulata Dixon, 41, a mother-of-two from Selwyn, who worked as a hospital-based midwife

at Christchurch Women’s Hospital. Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates said his staff were “deeply saddened” by Dixon’s death. “Her loss will be felt deeply throughout our midwifery community, and our thoughts are with her husband Scott, their two daughters and whanau.” The driver of a second car believed to have been involved in the incident was taken to hospital in a critical condition.

p Construction of the new Metro Sports Facility has begun

The pool will be part of the new Metro Sports Facility for Canterbury. Rober tson said Canterbur y’s swimmers had waited a long time for access to an indoor 50-metre competition pool and all of Christchurch has been looking forward to this wonderful new facility. “The five-metre-deep dive well and competition pool tanks are stainless steel and will come from a specialist supplier in Italy. These tanks have been selected as they will be more resilient than traditional pools in the event of any further earthquakes. “An active community is a healthy and happy community, and with everything from five hydroslides to throwing cages

for our high-performance athletes, the Metro Sports Facility will offer something to people of all ages and stages,” he said. The Metro Sports Facility will also be a home for some of New Zealand’s elite athletes. High Performance Sport NZ will move its Regional Performance Centre here, making it an important training environment. Megan Woods says getting construction started on the facility is a major milestone for the city. “The Metro Sports Facility will bring thousands of people into the central city each week, it’ll provide world-class recreational facilities for our people, and it’ll boost our local sporting codes.” ¢

Wink put to work

One stop shop for support

A one-eyed conservation dog called Wink is helping local authorities sniff out and remove patches of the pest plant spartina from Canterbury waterways.

u by Mike Isle

Spartina is a damaging weed that colonises intertidal zones. It forms dense clumps and traps sediment. The push to eventually eradicate the plant is a joint project between Environment Canterbury, the Department of Conservation (DOC) and the Christchurch City Council. DOC technical adviser, Keith Briden, said spartina transforms the environment and completely takes over estuaries turning them into grasslands: “It can cause an immense loss of biodiversity by turning p Wink can sniff out plants the eye cannot see mudflats supporting wading birds, whitebait, eels and flounder into Invercargill to spend two days hunting down remaining plants, which had dry meadows.” More than 150 patches of spartina been missed. “Wink has the ability to sniff out have been controlled for the last two years, with contractors revisiting all plants, which are near impossible identified patches to check for regrowth to see with the naked eye,” Keith and undertake follow-up control Briden said.

Thanks to control efforts, the adviser biosecurity at Environment damaging weed is now only found in Canterbury, comments: “The work to control spartina three distinct areas in Canterbury: the Avon/Heathcote Estuary, Brooklands is essential if we are to maintain biodiversity and cultural values Lagoon and Lyttelton Harbour. DOC conservation dog Wink and such as mahinga kai in Canterbury’s his handler John Taylor travelled from estuarine environments.” ¢

Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) has launched a onestop shop for those seeking health and wellbeing support in the wake of the mosque attacks.

The Canterbury Resilience Hub website resilient.org.nz is a central point for health and wellbeing advice and practical support services information. Board chief executive David Meates said people were deeply affected by these events. “The board recognised the need to consolidate health and wellbeing resources in one place to make it easier for people to navigate the range of support materials and services available.” Led by the DHB, the Canterbury Resilience Hub website expands beyond the health system and connects people to information about education, housing, financial, immigration help, social supports and other resources. Meates said the site is designed to

meet the needs of three main user groups: those needing support, those supporting others, and professionals supporting others. “We know from experience that recovery from disasters and emergencies is complex and takes time. As we move from the response to the recovery phase, we need to ensure that people continue to access the help and information they need, when they need it. “This new website aims to make that process easier and more inclusive. “The Canterbury Resilience Hub website will remain available to provide information related to any future natural disasters or emergencies.

Soft toys distributed

Deserved honour

u by Mike Isle

Hundreds of soft toys left at the Rolleston Avenue tribute wall and outside Masjid Al Noor in the wake of the mosque shootings have been given to young Muslim children in Christchurch.

p Thousands of soft toys have been given to Christchurch children

The soft toys were among the mass of flowers, messages and tributes that residents and visitors to Christchurch left along the Rolleston Avenue frontage to the Botanic Gardens in the days and weeks following the tragic shootings, which claimed 51 lives. In an initiative nicknamed Operation Ted, Christchurch City Council and the Canterbury District Health Board worked with Canterbury Linen to have the soft toys sorted and professionally washed so they could then be given to the city’s Muslim children. Last week the freshly laundered toys were handed out to children at a special celebration at Pioneer Stadium to mark Eid the festival that marks the

end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. “These soft toys were given by children and families from across New Zealand and the world as a show of their love and support for all those affected by the tragedy that occurred in our city on March 15,’’ said Claire Phillips, a planning adviser at the council, who has helped coordinate Operation Ted. “As well as something to cuddle, they are an enduring symbol of the Kiwi welcoming spirit and all that is best about our community. “We’re delighted that they are now going to new homes where hopefully they will bring some joy and comfort to their new owners,’’ Ms Phillips said. ¢

A stalwart of the Darfield and Kirwee communities has been given a much-deserved award in the Queen’s Birthday Honour list but says it is an award for the community. Adrienne Elizabeth Begg has been awarded the Queen’s Service Medal (QSM) for her services to sport and the community. Mrs Begg said she couldn’t believe it when she heard she had been nominated for the award and it certainly wasn’t her motivation for the work she does in the community. “You belong to a community, and you help out when you can. You don’t do these jobs to get any accolades in the end. You just do them,” she said. Mrs Begg said she was given a month to decide whether to accept the award, but after giving it a lot of thought decided that she would respect whoever nominated her and would accept the award for all the people she worked alongside in the community. However, and whilst she shares the award with the community, Mrs Begg’s personal contributions to her communities are truly impressive. She was secretary of the Courtenay Agricultural and Pastoral Association from 1982 to 2014, served as president in 2015 and remains a

committee member. She served as a member of the Kirwee Reserve Board from 1962 to 2007. She has been caretaker of the Kirwee Community Hall since 1960 and secretary since 2001. She was actively involved in the raising of $400,000 to upgrade the hall. She has been secretary/ treasurer of St George’s Anglican Church in Kirwee since 2009 and is vestry representative to Malvern Anglican Parish. She was secretary/treasurer of the Kirwee Hockey Club from 1964 to 1998 and served as president of Malvern Hockey. Begg coached primary and senior teams was a selector for Malvern Hockey and a New Zealand B Grade umpire for national tournaments. She has held a range of roles with the Kirwee Tennis Club since the 1960s, including club captain, coach, and representative player. Despite being so busy, Adrienne Begg still works part-time at the Darfield Medical Centre. “It is good to keep your hand in,” she said.

Night sky exhibition opens Safety concerns after funding cuts u by Mike Isle

A unique exhibition featuring the best local astrophotography has been officially opened at the West Melton Community and Recreation Centre. The exhibition, which is hosted by the Selwyn District Council, showcases photos of the night sky taken by local photographers at Greendale and the West Melton Observatory. One of those photographers Gary Steel described the exhibition as a phenomenal merger of science and art. “There’s technical challenges, there’s physical challenges when you’re sitting out there on a minus four-degree night, but when you see them developing on your screen you think ‘yep, it’s worth it’. “It’s also a view of the past, seeing things that are talking to us, quite literally over millions of years. It’s a real privilege to take these photos. Another of the photographers Simon Lewis said, “What amazes me is that you can look at areas of the sky and you think there’s nothing there. When you point a telescope at it and expose it, there are things there that suddenly you can see, and you have a view into another world, another universe or galaxy. The official opening was made by Selwyn District Council mayor Sam Broughton who said, “Growing up in Darfield I was introduced to the night sky and the amazing views we have out here. Lately, with my work with

p Photographer Gary Steel with one of his photos

Local Government New Zealand and the council we’ve been looking at the importance of night glow and dark sky areas. Thank you to the astronomical society for making sure that night glow and light pollution is something we look at as a council.” The exhibition is part of the council’s Matariki celebrations and will be open until the end of June. ¢

News of funding cuts by the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) could impact on road safety say the Selwyn District Council. The council was told last month by the NZTA that funding for some local roading projects would be cut due to a nation-wide funding shortfall. The cut means that roading projects such as safety upgrades in Prebbleton, Weedons Ross Road widening in Rolleston, and the Rolleston to Templeton cycleway would not go ahead. Selwyn District Council deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall expressed disappointment at the announcement and warned that it might have significant safety ramifications. “While we have had a constructive working relationship with the NZTA in the region, vital projects which we were planning to improve the safety and efficiency of the roading network, particularly our roads feeding into the Christchurch Southern Motorway, have been halted unexpectedly due to a shortfall in national transport funding,” he said. "This puts our residents and other motorists at risk

Pay attention!

on main roads that are in desperate need of safety upgrades." The NZTA attributes the shortfall to some large transport projects costing significantly more than estimated and which need to be completed, the cost of other current projects, the number of carr y-forward projects from previous programmes and an emphasis on ‘green’ transport initiatives. Lyall said the council would continue to negotiate with the NZTA to find other ways to help pay for the district’s much-needed roading and transport improvements. "We’re hopeful of creating a solution to this issue. Our local arterial roads between Selwyn and Christchurch are carrying more traffic than most of the state highways in the district, at over 10,000 vehicles a day," he said. Road maintenance programmes are not affected by the signalled funding cuts.

Then there’s a massive crayfish up the coast in Kaikoura and the famous statue of an enormous salmon in Rakaia. They all stem from the first Kiwi tourist photo-op, the big L&P bottle up north in Paeroa. However, Darfield doesn’t do big fibreglass statues. Its famous icon isn’t something that was dreamed up by the local tourism board or promotions society, but a phenomenon that’s only found in a couple of places worldwide. It’s something, which gives the town a certain character and charm you can’t express with artfully formed concrete. Since the 1850s, when the town (to be known as Horndon Junction) was founded by the Deans family as part of the large Homebush cattle station, a defining feature of the plains has been the curiously strong, singularly insistent north-west wind, which can range from a hot and dry exhalation to the precursor of gales.

THE RECORD June 12 - 2019

SPOTLIGHT ON Yorkshire, the nor’wester shaped the kind of settlement which was to grow. As a fishing village looks to the sea or a mining town clings to the mountainside, Darfield is akin to those US towns, which are at home in the vast plainlands. It’s a town built on farming, and the wind from the north-west gives it a symbolic icon overhead which is better than a statue of a big cow or vegetable crop; the high band of blue sky and white cloud locals call the Nor’west Arch. Scientifically, it’s explained by the high atmospheric water vapour which streams across the Southern Alps forming a band of cloud high in the sky. For the travellers who pass beneath it for the first time, it’s quite a unique sight. Travellers aplenty pass through Darfield headed for ski holidays or up over the mountains to the West Coast. It’s a great place to stop while on the road for some hospitality, refreshment and a deeper look at what is a varied main street. Like many of New Zealand’s rural service towns, there’s more depth to the stores and products on offer than the casual glance would reveal. Darfield is still proud of its status as a hub in the centre of the plains, and a look at the map will show that the town sits at the focus of a web of transport arteries, a pumping economic heart for the immediate region. Much of that economy is down-to-earth rural, though growth, especially in the form of new housing developments, is slowly changing the periphery. As in the US, that big sky and the wide open land seem to spark innovation. Big drawcards on the

map show that Darfield is strategically located indeed; this is the home of the region’s largest secondary school, with a roll many urban institutions can’t boast. With dairy a significant force on the plains and in the nation’s economic engine room, it’s hard to overlook the fact that Darfield is home to some heavy hardware, the largest milk powder drying machinery in the world, at the local Fonterra plant. For those readers who live just down the road from Darfield, there has never been a better time to stop by and visit. Many will have passed through this hub on journeys here and there, but with

change boosting communities all over Selwyn, it’s time to take a closer look at the crossroads south of the Waimakariri. From businesses to help you tidy up those winter chores and make farming more profitable, through to destinations for arts and crafts, delicious food and a relaxing weekend mini-break, Darfield has a bit of everything, wrapped up in old fashioned hospitality. Those who live there already know that their place is something a bit special; a real, honest Kiwi town situated under the Nor’west Arch but overshadowed by none. ¢

100 IT’S NOT A TARGET

Emissions a contentious subject u by Andy Bryenton

When it comes to overall greenhouse gas emissions, New Zealand is faring better than many other nations who are co-signatories of the Kyoto Protocol; the agreement to reduce the emission of atmosphere-harming gases to 1990 levels or below. We’ve made our first target, with the help of our largely renewable-energy based electrical grid and the fact that our sparsely populated nation is mostly either pastoral or still cloaked in forest. A recent report backed by Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Simon Upton exonerates the position of farmers who have felt under pressure to circumvent natural processes in reducing methane and nitrous oxide from their herds. Mr Upton has indicated that, to meet the ‘reach’ targets of Kyoto in 2020, 2030 and 2050 some of our industries will have to go to zero emissions, but that farming is a special case, which should be allowed to offset their emissions. That’s because CO2 from heavy industry, for example, is worse for the atmosphere than the gases emitted by the natural digestive processes of livestock, according to the report. Assisting in finding ways to reduce emissions in the farming sector is the Biological Emissions Reference Group, made up of Beef + Lamb New Zealand,

Dairy NZ Limited, Deer Industry New Zealand, Federated Farmers of New Zealand, The Fertiliser Association of New Zealand, Fonterra, Horticulture New Zealand, Ministry for Primary Industries and the Ministry for the Environment. They have set out to research options for a transition to reduced emissions, which will hit targets but still maintain this important industry. Some of their avenues of enquiry involve practical changes, such as actively breeding lower emission animals, or developing feeds which reduce emissions while promoting better animal health. Also well worth further research are methane, nitrification and urease inhibitors, and

the option to offset emissions with tree planting. The important keynote from a range of reports on this issue is that farming is different from industry or transportation when it comes to greenhouse gas production. A blanket approach, which treats biological-process emissions with the same legislative tools as industrial or combustion based emissions may prove too crude a method to either tackle the targets or preserve the economic viability of the rural sector. A measured approach and some real innovation is the recommended way forward rather than punitive coercion. ¢

Silver star, gold standard

LIFESTYLE BLOCK MOBILE SHEARING

u by our Motoring specailist

Almost a quarter of all new vehicle registrations in New Zealand in 2018 were for utes. This body style is fast surpassing any other choice, and not just for the farmer or tradesperson looking for a work-day companion. While Ford’s Ranger continues to smash out sales records and gain accolades, other car makers have been quick to pick up on the popularity of the pick-up. That even includes a marque usually associated more with speed and finesse than mud and gravel, Mercedes Benz. Their introduction to the ute market, the X Class, caused waves not just because of its distinctive styling and comfy interior, but also a price which makes it one of the most affordable ways to get behind the three-pointed star badge. Not cheap compared to other utes, but certainly more able to tackle tough terrain than an S Class, and less pricey than the army-tough G-Wagon. The initial model was the X250d, following Mercedes’ time-honoured tradition of giving its vehicles coded numbers instead of names. That translated to an X for ute, 250 for the size of its four-cylinder engine and a d for diesel fuel. The new six-cylinder version is hence called the X350d, and it comes with a big advantage over its smaller sibling, in terms of delivering 258 horsepower and a healthy 550 Newton metres of torque to boost its towing capacity to 3,500kg with a braked trailer. Power delivery is smooth rather than brutal, giving the X Class the unhurried feel of a traditional German four-door rather than a snorting big two-tonne diesel truck. The natural competitor for this upmarket ute is the

Volkswagen Amarok, and there’s a lot the two have in common, including, now, a six-pot turbo diesel. The Benz may just edge out the V-dub when it comes to offroad performance, with its locking hubs and slightly better ground clearance, but it’s price where Mercedes customers may feel a slight sting for extras. That is still a very inexpensive way to pilot one of Germany’s finest (compare the top of the range AMG G63, an SUV worth as much as a small house), but the options list is enticing, long and potentially irresistible to customise the X350d as your own. ¢

Video to aid biosecurity A new in-flight biosecurity video will remind international visitors about the importance of protecting New Zealand from unwanted pests and diseases. Biosecurity New Zealand launched the video that will play to arriving passengers on all airlines with screen capacity. “All visitors to the country and Kiwis returning home can help protect New Zealand from harmful pests and diseases,” says the head of Biosecurity New Zealand, Roger Smith. “The new in-flight video provides a clear message about what everyone’s responsibilities are when arriving here. The simple lesson is if you are unsure about an item, you have got — declare it. “Things like the Queensland fruit fly and brown marmorated stink bug have the potential to cause significant damage to our primary sector, our environment and to our unique way of life.” There are two versions of the video — one in English and one for Chinese airlines in Mandarin. The videos feature detector dog Darwin the beagle. Darwin and handler

Mikkiie work on the front-line sniffing out items that aren’t allowed here. Mr Smith says he is pleased the majority of airlines that fly into the country have agreed to play the video. “United Airlines was the first airline to start playing it, and others with the capability to show videos on board quickly followed.” The video is part of a wider Biosecurity New Zealand programme focussed on protecting Aotearoa and supports the biosecurity movement Ko Tatou This Is Us. “Ko Tatou This Is Us highlights the personal connection we all have to the land, rivers, lakes and sea that nourish and provide for us.” The new in-flight biosecurity video is translated into 12 different languages, including Hindi, Malay, Arabic, Korean and French. It has also been translated into Bislama, a national language in Vanuatu spoken by many seasonal workers. ¢
