A Christchurch woman with a passion for soaring over Selwyn is flying high after featuring in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours. Yvonne Loader was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for her services to the sport of gliding. She said she was “totally surprised” when she received a letter from Governor-General Dame Patsy Reddy saying that she had been nominated for the award. “It was just amazing to me that people would take the time to recognise my work in gliding. There is a lot involved in making a nomination, and I am really grateful to the people who did it,” she said. However, it is not the first award Yvonne Loader has been given. The Federation Aeronautique Internationale, based in Switzerland, presented her with the Paul Tissandier Diploma, awarded to those who have served the cause of aviation in general and sport in particular for their work, initiative and devotion. Loader flies gliders and powered aircraft, instructs on gliders, and is also a tow pilot. She is a secretary for two gliding clubs and raises funds to go towards safety and better equipment for gliding clubs. Among many projects, her funding successes have provided youth with subsidised flying and contributed to the construction of a new hangar at Springfield. Yvonne started flying in 1972. Even as a student pilot, her professionalism showed. Attending the annual NZ Airwomen’s Association (NZAWA, now NZ Association of Women in Aviation)

rally, she gained two seconds and a first, giving her the trophy for top student, much to her surprise. The following year she came first in all her competitions and, capping that with the Top Aviatrix Trophy, came home with a planeload of trophies. In 1988, on a soaring flight above Mt Cook, she flew at more than 37,000ft, setting a world record (feminine) for gain of height and two New Zealand
national records for the gain of height and absolute height. She has been awarded the Gliding NZ Friendship Cup for her outstanding contribution to the gliding movement, and the Gliding NZ Angus Rose Bowl as recognition of outstanding services to the sport of gliding in New Zealand.

Gifts bring warmth for women Winter is here, but it is going to be a lot warmer for some women and children thanks to the initiative shown by a group of Canterbury ‘aunties’. The charity organisation Christchurch Aunties put the call out for donations of good quality coats and jackets, which they would then give to Women’s Refuge and other support organisations. The response they received surprised even the Aunties. Auntie Heather explains: “We put the call out on social media for jackets and in three weeks we had over 130 lovely warm coats and jackets, many of them new, donated for women and children. “We also had people responding with lots of woollen hats, scarves and children’s knitted slippers.� Heather said the Aunties were stunned by the generosity that even included people donating new duvet inners, new electric blankets and other bedding. The Aunties say they now have enough coats, but the push is still on for sleepwear for women and children. They also have an ongoing Undie Run on the hunt for new underwear, socks, nappies and sanitary products. The Christchurch Aunties formed in 2017, inspired by the Aunties movement
created in Auckland by Jackie Clark in 2012. Through social media messaging, they have created a network of people of all genders and backgrounds contributing to the Christchurch Aunties. Involvement with Christchurch Aunties is unpaid and voluntary. Donations to the Aunties go to Battered Women’s Trust, Te Whare Hauora, West Christchurch Women’s Refuge, Shakti Women’s Refuge and YWCA. To be part of the Aunties movement or to make donations go to the Aunties website: chchaunties.org.nz. ¢

Insurance launches campus rebuild

u by Mike Isle
A $45 million earthquake insurance settlement has been made allowing work on significant campus improvements to begin at Lincoln University.
p A pedestrian refuge island has been built, which along with speed limits changes, will improve safety for pedestrians wanting to cross SH73 on the eastern outskirts of West Melton
Changes to speed limits on 31 roads were approved by the council and will come into effect on August 1 2019. The council also requested a review to consider reducing the speed limit to 40km/h in urban areas, particularly around schools. The review is to be completed by the end of the year. The majority of the changes were to reduce the speed limit to 60km/h on sections of 25 roads, removing all 70km/h speed limits in the district. Other changes see Ivey Road, and a section of Shands Road around Selwyn Road to Robinsons Road reduced to
80km/h. Tramway Road will become 50km/h from between High Street and West Coast Road. Devine Drive and Avonie Place will become 40km/h, along with Weedons Ross Road in the vicinity of Weedons School and Robinsons Road in the vicinity of Broadfield School. A review of all the 50km/h urban speed limit areas to be carried out to determine 40km/h speed limits across broader residential catchments with urban schools included where appropriate by the end of December 2019. A full list of changes is on the council’s website. ¢
Lincoln University acting vicechancellor, Professor Bruce McKenzie, said the finalisation of the insurance pay-out from damage sustained in the Canterbury earthquakes was in April but is listed in the university’s 2018 Annual Report’s financial statements. It would allow prioritised campus rebuild projects to get underway, such as new science facilities, he said. He also said the benefits of Refreshing Lincoln, the agenda of change and financial discipline that commenced at Lincoln University in 2016 and resulted in a better performing institution in 2017, continued into 2018.
“The university had a better than expected financial result, the result of good enrolment numbers, successful research funding bids, and operational restraint. “Tauira (students) continue to be at the heart of the institution, and it has been pleasing to see that 2018 concluded with our enrolment targets met and student satisfaction measures on track. “We are also in the strongest financial position in Lincoln’s history, with cash reserves, including the insurance settlement, now in excess of $80m and group equity now $265m,” Professor McKenzie said. ¢

Helping rescued dogs
Captain Jock’s advice
u by Ann van Engelen
Springfield resident Mark Harnden, aka Captain Jock, decided to put his travelling experiences to good use for others by writing his book The Beginner’s (Idiot’s) Guide to Long-Haul Flights.
Joining forces with other animal rescuers such as Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust is something Paw Justice do through their food bank programme to try and ensure there is enough food for all. Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust began in 1982, rescuing and rehoming abandoned dogs primarily from pounds across the Canterbury District. The Paw Justice Food Bank Programme has delivered more than 76 tonnes of pet food to various Christchurch shelters since the first earthquake. “We are self-funded and very grateful for Paw Justice. They have rescued us on several occasions with food for our animals,” says Dogwatch manager Kelly Burt. “We have a purpose-built adoption centre with 14 kennels, which have underfloor heating for the winter. There are running paddocks and a swimming pond donated by the Smart family for the dogs to cool off in warmer months. “When they come into our care, they are registered, microchipped, vaccinated and desexed. They are assessed, and then we try and match each dog to an owner’s lifestyle. We have rehomed numerous dogs in Rolleston and surrounds. “At Easter, we didn’t know how we were going to feed our animals. Paw Justice managed to send a small pallet of food, and Bull Breed Dog Rescue gave us some; Paw Justice sent them — we are so appreciative.
“Dogwatch is primarily run through volunteers, and Deborah from Mind Pro Animal Behaviour helps with the assessments. We have many happy endings like a dog who arrived on July 7 2017, and finally adopted on Valentine’s Day this year — she touched everybody’s hearts.” The team are hosting a quiz night fundraiser on July 4. They also have a second-hand variety shop at the corner of Beresford and Hardy Streets, New Brighton open Monday to Friday from 10am–3pm. “Quiz night is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. For tickets pop into the adoption centre or for more information email info@dogwatch.co.nz.” ¢

Burglary growth slower u by Mike Isle
Burglaries and other thefts in Selwyn continue to rise, but police figures reveal the pace is slowing.
p Probus caters to a variety of interests
The existing club has 160 active members who meet monthly at the Rolleston Community Centre. However, the venue is bursting at the seams accommodating that many and the club are looking at starting a second chapter of the popular social organisation for the retired and semi-retired. An exploratory meeting will be held in the community centre on Thursday, June 18, starting at 10am. A past president of the Rolleston club Margaret Drake said she was hoping the meeting would attract both current and potential new members of Probus. Both the existing and planned new clubs were combined clubs, which meant they were open to both men and women, she said. “The main attraction is the opportunity to meet with similarly aged people with similar interests, to listen to interesting
photo credit Probus
speakers and to visit local attractions,” Drake said. Probus clubs meet monthly and often have an outing between meetings. Many clubs have interest groups as well, including walking, book clubs, photography, travel, cuisine and crafts. The clubs do not involve themselves in fundraising. The Probus movement began in the United Kingdom in 1965. Its intent then and now was to be purely social and instructive. Initially, it was just two clubs, but by 2018 it had grown to 4,000 clubs and 400,000 members worldwide. Selwyn has four clubs: Malvern/ Darfield (180 members), West Melton (90 members), Ellesmere/Lincoln (140 members) and the current Rolleston club with its 160 members. ¢
In the year to March 31, 2019, there were 868 reported burglaries, thefts and related offences in Selwyn — an increase of nine on the year to March 2018. However, this is in a period when the number of such offences nationwide actually declined. Rolleston-based senior sergeant Peter Stills said vigilance is the main protection for home and property owners. “Whether you are at home or not, you should continuously think about the security of your home,” Stills said. “Thieves and burglars will take every chance they can to get what they are after. That includes entering your house if they know you are working in the back yard or busy in the garage.” The police website police. govt.nz lists a host of measures homeowners can take to protect their
property, but there is one measure police recommend that can help them recover property after it is stolen; that is identifying and marking property. Police say burglars are unlikely to steal items that are permanently marked because they’re hard to sell. They recommend engraving valuable items with your driver licence number, car registration number or phone number. They say Neighbourhood Support can provide a warning sticker to put on a window. The sticker will discourage most criminals from taking your property because they know there is a greater risk of getting caught or traced if they handle and attempt to sell identifiable goods, police say. The Selwyn District Council provides a purpose-built Neighbourhood Watch website: selwyn.getsready.net.

Gypsy Week
The origins of a Kiwi tradition u by Andy Bryenton
As far back as most dairy farmers can remember, June 1 has been called Gypsy Day; the time of year when farms changed hands and sharemilkers took to the roads to move to their new pastures for the season. Digging deeper to find out why this is the case reveals a couple of interesting points. The first of which, of course, is that this day has nothing at all to do with the Roma people of Europe, the

original Gypsies, who, along with the Irish Travellers, make up the largest nomadic culture remaining in the developed world. The name is a nod to the way these folk would travel the roadways in ancient times, with all their possessions and their livestock in tow. It’s a romanticised notion of life on the road, but one that resonated with our colonial forebears, who, once a year would see cows and wagons lining the rural roads as farms changed hands. Nevertheless, why June 1? The day seems arbitrary, but the effects are real. Schools see enrolments jump around this time, those tradespeople who renovate homes are busy in the rural heartland, and hundreds of millions of dollars change hands as properties are sold. One theory holds that the timing is to do with the date of cows drying off before calving, but this varies according to climate and stock genetics. Another

RANGIORA LANDSCAPE
holds that the date was set in order to get the new farm squared away before winter struck. However, the oldest records point to the date set not by farmers but by clerks, at the State Advances Corporation in the 1890s. This body was set up to lend money to settlers for creating new farms, and the powers that be expected their money back as the farm flourished. June 1 was set as a date different from the end of the corporate year, but also
to enable physical messages to reach London, still the hub of commerce, by ship, before the end of the British business year. In those days of manual transactions, paper deeds and no radio or internet, setting a single day for major farming transactions made it easy to get everyone on the same page. That’s why June 1 is still a busy time to this day, and why it carries such an interesting name. ¢

THE RECORD June 5 - 2019
Gypsy Week Tagging with technology The importance of correct tagging of livestock animals has been thrown into stark relief due to the ongoing M bovis containment and eradication program, but the usefulness of a quick, accurate means of tracking animals can never be overstated. To make things easier, NAIT, the organisation tasked with coordinating National Animal Identification and Tracking, rolled out a new digital mapping system early this year. It uses a computer interface with Land Information New Zealand data to assign every NAIT registered farm with a number, helping match individual animals to a specific property. Multiple locations comprising a single agricultural enterprise within a 10-kilometre radius can all share the same NAIT number. However, when moving a herd, it’s not possible to uplift this number and carry it with you. Farmers engaged in Gypsy week movements will have been pre-appraised of this, but there are also a large number of lifestyle block owners who maintain small numbers of stock, and they may as yet be out of the loop. As this is the first Gypsy day following the roll-out of the digital mapping initiative, NAIT authorities wish to remind all livestock owners and managers of two vital things to do. Firstly, if you are moving existing, tagged livestock onto a new farm, please visit the NAIT website at ospri. co.nz/our-programmes/nait to register a new number for your new location. It’s easy to pinpoint where you are on the digital map. Secondly, if a herd is remaining in place, but a new Person In Control of Animals is taking charge, they, too,
91 Horndon Street, Darfield Phone 03 318 8229 need to register. When they do, they will have access to extensive NAIT records of animal movements at their new location. With this new approach, it will be even easier than before to coordinate animal movements and ensure that the livestock sector remains healthy and profitable. ¢

Dining & Entertainment
Take out traditions u by Andy Bryenton
This is definitely the weather for taking a hot lunch back to work, or grabbing an easy hot dinner where all of the hard work has been done by somebody else in the kitchen! Takeaways and even ‘fast’ food doesn’t mean unhealthy any more, and you’ll find here some tasty and quick options for the whole family. Many of our favourite quick bites to eat come from the traditions of street food and marketplace vendors, adapted to become modern classics. Take the pizza, which has come down in history from a flatbread cooked on battle shields by the Persian armies who fought the 300 Spartans. It’s a concept mentioned in ancient epic story the Aeneid, but it only really took off when Italian immigrants to New York added tomato paste and stringy cheese to make street food. It’s a similar story with the hot dog, which was inspired by just this trend. Charles Feltman, a New Yorker of German ancestry, saw his Italian neighbours enjoying financial success with pizza, and thought of his own country’s favourite snack — spicy sausages. Initially, his idea was to offer customers gloves with which to eat the piping hot snacks, but too many pairs were stolen. So he struck on putting the sausage in a bun, and by 1870 his ‘dachshunds’ (named for the long, low little German dog) were a hit. The name got shortened to ‘hot dogs’ by vendors yelling this
easier term to potential customers on the street. Perhaps the biggest development in fast food has been deep frying, which has brought us many treats over the years — the origins of this method far outdated the arrival of potatoes to make

chips. Apocryphally, deep frying was invented by mistake by Greek soldiers during a siege. Having boiled a cauldron of olive oil to drive away invaders, the soldiers would not allow the fortress cook to let
it cool down while he used the fireplace for a pot of stew. So the cook threw vegetables into the oil, and history was made. For the record, it was a Roman chef, Apicius, who invented the fried chicken, about 400 years later. ¢

Smashing the odds In the mid-1980s, the small sports car was dead; only a few more shovelfuls of earth remained to be sadly placed atop a grave dug by the hot hatchback revolution, covering forever the likes of the Jensen Healey, MGB, Sunbeam Alpine and Triumph Spitfire. England’s great small roadsters had a proud history but were seen as outmoded by the more practical Golf GTIs and Peugeot 205s of the day, which packed meaty performance into a shopping cart frame. Of course, now those drop-top small cars are seen as classics. So, too, is the thing that replaced them. In 1989, the Mazda MX-5 was as strange a sight on the road as the Lamborghini Countach was in 1974. Critics said it was underpowered, too small, impractical and part of a tradition of small convertibles that nobody wanted anymore. It went on to sell 400,000 units. Moreover, while TR7s gently rusted and Alfa Spiders spent time on the hoist, the little Mazda delivered smiles reliably, with its pop up headlights, simple design, lightweight handling and just enough power to have fun with, but not enough to be scary. By the second generation, it may have become too popular. The more ignorantly minded labelled it as a ‘girl’s car’, thus insulting half the population with what turned out to be
a compliment. Nevertheless, you can’t argue with quality, and naysayers were silenced decade after decade by the fact that the little Mazda is great fun to drive. Now, for 2019, the ‘retractable fastback’ shape of the latest MX-5 is the best looking ever, and while other cars suffer from safety bloat (like the now tubby, wheezing ‘hot’ hatches, which replaced those old 205s and GTIs), the Mazda is still packed with a 1.5 litre engine and sharp handling to match its more aggressive looks. You may only get 97kw, but this isn’t
a dragster. You get only two seats, but this isn’t an ‘all things to all people’ family wagon. The MX-5 continues a lineage of cars designed just for the sheer unadulterated fun of taking a road trip, and while it may not come from the same heritage as a Morgan or a Lotus, it’s all about the very English, very early 1900s attitude of motoring as a sport. A real sports car. How many of those are available new for just on 40k, here in the century of the SUV? What can we ask for next, Mazda, except perhaps — the RX9? ¢

Staying streets ahead u by Andy Bryenton
They used to call it the ‘total performance’ philosophy when Ford was at the forefront of racing in the middle of the 20th century. Win on Saturday, sell cars on Monday was the mantra of a generation of marketers and engineers. To a greater or lesser extent, it worked. Take a look at many of the big names in roadgoing cars, and you’ll find that the more everyday models are often backed up by a super powerful and sometimes even legendary ‘halo’ model. Would so many four-door, naturally aspirated Nissan Skylines have been sold were it not for the monster GT-R version, which demolished lap times worldwide? How about the classic race pedigree of Alfa Romeo, Bentley or Ferrari? This kind of relationship between the track and the road builds reputations. The reason for this is twofold, but one of the big arguments is that it takes great engineers to make a winning vehicle. Those same bright minds are also employed, making the more usual fare, which comes down the production line, so you know it’s been developed by the best and sharpest. This concept is being put to a brand new test right now, as Kymco, the world’s biggest producer of quads, bikes and scooters, drop a bombshell on the world of superbikes. Will it transfer to a boost for their on-farm sales of quads and side-by-sides?
Certainly, the brains trust behind the SuperNEX electric sports bike has done an impeccable job of wringing speed from voltage. From 0–250 km/h in just above 10 seconds, for starters. They have deliberately done away with a single speed electric motor approach, which
delivers maximum performance in the middle of the powerband. Instead, a six-speed gearbox delivers the kind of precision shifts that are a joy to execute when using a sports bike to its full potential. It’s a study in modern design, a simple idea well executed, and a machine of extreme power all in one.
That is a fine reflection on the Kymco brand in general, of course. One must assume, as the Taiwanese brand unleashes a supercar-fast electric two-wheeler, that their engineering for models like the MXU400 ATV and the UXV700i must be similarly top notch. ¢
