“There was a lot of tough competition, and we are very proud of our girls’ accomplishments at the event. We had a team of 23 junior and senior dancers who have been dedicated to practising all year. The placings mean they qualified to travel to Australia next year,” says Selwyn School of Dance director, Emma Body. The team ranges in age from 8–18 years old, and they give up every weekend to prepare. “The choreography is done in-house by myself and two teachers, and we have the costumes designed specifically for each dance. “We entered a contemporary item with our seniors that was about dealing

with bullying called Clown. The girls also performed jazz, a theatre item taken from The Greatest Showman movie, a lyrical item called Towards the Sun and ballet.” The junior and senior teams placed first in ballet, second in lyrical for 99 Red Balloons, the items called Toward the Sun and Clown came third, and the junior song and dance received first place. “Four senior students qualified with their solo and duos as well. All the girls were over the moon with their placings and will travel to Australia in January 2020 to compete against other Australian and New Zealand finalists at The Evolution Dance Competition.

“This is a huge deal for them because they will be on an international stage. They will have exposure to the industry and professionals within the industry. They will also participate in dance workshops while they are there with world-renowned choreographers. “There were lots of other dancers from the greater Christchurch area at the event, and the calibre of the competition was really good with a very high standard. “It was an incredible effort by all the teams, and we are very proud of them. From here on in we will have fundraising events to help the girls financially, and they will be rehearsing for the trip to Australia.” 

A holiday from Italy in 2003 marked the beginning of a cheese maker’s dream for Emilio Festa and his family who now reside in Aylesbury. Emilio recently won silver medals for his sheep and cow’s cheese in the New Zealand Cheese Awards, adding to his collection of accomplishments during recent years. “Competing is good because I have good weekly feedback from our customers at the farmers’ markets and want the judges’ opinions of what I am creating. In 2014, I won the award for the Best Fresh Cheese in New Zealand, and we won gold, silver and bronze medals last year.” Emilio now creates more than 25 different cheeses. “Every year, I present something different in competitions. In Italy cheese is an important food item and the shops have everything from fresh to aged and different flavours. My target is to have the same products available here. “The cheese making world is wonderful. It is something you do with love and passion to obtain the best results. To European people, cheese is part of our history, and in the Roman times, it is what the soldiers were paid with. We discovered blue cheese when mould got inside by mistake. It is amazing how it has progressed over time. “We specialise in what we are doing and have a very good supplier of milk. I make

Public feedback sought on waste Promenade prominent in plan

 by Mike Isle

The growing volume of waste in Selwyn has prompted the district council to propose a far-reaching waste management plan that will provide efficient waste management for at least the next six years.

 Council looks to deal with a growing mountain of waste

The proposed plan includes options such as promoting greater uptake of the kerbside organics service in areas where it’s available, establishing a reuse shop and salvage yard, increasing education on waste reduction and improving access to services. The plan also explores emerging alternative waste technologies and initiatives. The council says that significant growth in population and the associated increase in volumes of waste streams are projected to continue for the foreseeable future. There is also growing volumes of commercial and

construction waste in the district. Legislative changes in China affecting the ability to export recyclables have also forced a rethink about recycle processing on a global scale. The plan seeks to address those issues. However, before the plan is implemented, the public is invited to have its say on the proposals. The council has uploaded an easy-touse submission form on its website and hard copy forms can be obtained from council offices. Submissions close at 5pm Friday, June 7. 

Going backwards says MP Secrets of the stars  by Mike Isle

The wellbeing of some Selwyn residents is going backwards says the electorate’s member of parliament Amy Adams. “The number of people waiting for public housing in Selwyn has nearly doubled under the current government,” Adams said. “This situation has been mirrored in regions all across New Zealand with an additional 10,000 individuals on the public housing register in December 2018, compared with December 2017. “While the overall numbers for Selwyn remain low compared with other regions, it is concerning to see such a marked percentage rise. “These figures combined with a 36% increase in people in Selwyn receiving a Jobseeker benefit show that, despite the government’s rhetoric, the wellbeing of some of our residents is going backwards,” said Adams. “It is easy for the government to talk up its focus on wellbeing, but the reality is that people are waiting longer for social housing, and the unemployment rate is increasing. “Having a house to live in and having a job are basic measures of wellbeing and the government’s policies are delivering the exact

Plenty on offer at Ferrymead Modern Maori Quartet  by Mike Isle

More than $10,000 worth of rare and possibly irreplaceable signalling and cables for the park’s train tracks were stolen on April 24 — six weeks later they are yet to be found.

The highlight of this year’s Matariki celebrations organised by the Selwyn District Council will be a concert with the Modern Maori Quartet (MMQ) on Saturday, June 15.

 The Modern Maori Quartet brings back the age of the great Maori showbands

 The popular night market on the first Saturday of every month

As a result, the trains operated by the Canterbury Railway Society, languish as static and silent symbols of the glory days of steam. The park’s spokesperson Vanessa Hale said the theft is devastating for the park and park visitors. “The trains are a popular attraction, but because of safety issues, we can’t run them without the signal relays, cables and transformers. Many of those items are obsolete, and some may be irreplaceable,” she said. “At the very least it may be four months before we can get the trains back on the tracks.” Meanwhile, however, there is plenty else to see and do at the 54-yearold park. Its historic church and Friendly Societies Lodge are popular venues for weddings. Static and operating displays such as Curragh House, Fire Society, Theatre Society, by the Ferrymead Post and Telegraph Society and the Ferrymead Printing Society, among the 19 societies using the park to showcase their trades, are significant and ongoing attractions. The park also runs a successful night market, 4pm to 8pm, on the first Saturday of every month. Entry is a $2 gold coin donation with more than 40 craft and food stalls, music, bouncy castle and face painting for the children. The park will also be holding a regal

event for Sunday and Monday of Queen’s Birthday weekend. Each year the park attracts an average of 38,000, with a further 5,000 school-age children taking part in the park’s education programme. However, for all its success, the theft of the rare signalling items, possibly for scrap, has hit the park hard. If any reader has information regarding the theft, they should contact their local police, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. 

The quartet is a Maori showbandstyle group, bringing a modern take on a long history of Maori showbands. The quartet mixes acting, pop music and traditional waiata with a good dose of tongue-in-cheek humour, charm, and charisma to tell Kiwi stories in a unique way. Matariki is the traditional Maori new year celebration, observed throughout New Zealand in June. In Selwyn, the celebrations will include story times, weaving workshops and other crafts at the Selwyn Libraries, along with an evening talk on the Secret Life of the Stars at Lincoln Event Centre. Council sport, recreation and wellbeing manager, Dave Tippett said it’s great to have a wide range

of events to allow everyone a chance to take part in an important celebration. “Selwyn District Council recognises the significance of Matariki and wants to encourage our community to celebrate and learn more about it, especially through a Selwyn lens.” There will also be an astrophotography exhibition at West Melton Community and Recreation Centre, with photos of the night sky taken by the members of the Canterbury Astronomical Society.

Nature as our artists see it Malvern’s hunt for heroes  by Mike Isle

 by Mike Isle

The different perspectives by local artists on nature in Selwyn will be on show at Selwyn Gallery in June.

Malvern’s community board is looking for local heroes to honour at its 2019 Community Services Awards presentation in August.

 An example of David Ellena’s work

Painters David Ellena and Arna Marshall showcase their inspiration in a range of acrylic paintings, and Darfieldbased glass artist Lorraine Natusch brings a new range of glass works. Their collected work is in a new exhibition at the gallery Nature Refined, which opens on Friday. David Ellena has enjoyed painting throughout his graphic design and workshop teaching career, attracted to the arts while working alongside artists and woodcarvers in a joinery shop. Ellena paints in acrylic, capturing scenes inspired by his travels throughout New Zealand and the local Selwyn area. His background in joinery also allows him to frame all of his own work. Arna Marshall paints in a bright,

eye-catching style, beginning with flaxes transposed onto vivid New Zealand landscapes. Mostly selftaught, she enjoys pencil sketching from various isolated locations, and works with acrylic on canvas using a range of glazing techniques. Lorraine Natusch is a trained glass artist, having attended master classes in fusing, slumping and the lost wax casting method, among other techniques. Natusch’s series of bowls are produced with a combination of raw natural products, to create a refined finish piece, transformed when interacting with light. The exhibition runs from this Friday until Thursday, June 27 at the Selwyn Gallery, 17 South Terrace, Darfield. 

“There are so many volunteers and individuals who are doing outstanding work in Malvern,” says community board chairperson Jenny Gallagher. “These are our community heroes. It’s great to be able to tell their stories to the wider community and recognise the time, effort and resources they give. “If you know of anyone who’s deserving of recognition for his or her outstanding voluntary service to the community, please nominate them.” Gallagher said the awards recognise several categories of voluntary service including recreation, youth activities, aged,

welfare, educational service, cultural, religious and community affairs. “Nominees for the awards may be giving voluntary service as a resident of the Malvern Community Board area or a non-resident person who performs his or her service for the benefit of the area, or a resident who performs his or her service outside this community.” The board invites nominations from organisations, associations, societies, clubs or individuals. Forms and guidelines are available from the Darfield Library and Service Centre or online from the council website at selwyn.govt.nz/malvernawards. Nominations close on July 5. 

THE RECORD

Call the professionals for safety Rural New Zealand is a place, which tends to favour the multi-skilled; after all, there’s so many things to do around the farm or even the rural home that it’s good to develop a wide range of abilities to fix, mend, renew and restore those things that fail due to wear and tear. The big jobs sometimes require a professional approach, especially when it comes to those tasks that are a bit out of the ordinary. It is doubly true for those that take place off the ground, such as repairing roofing and guttering or taking care of overgrown trees. According to ACC statistics, the most dangerous thing in the tool shed is not a saw or hammer, but a ladder, with $17 million in injury claims a year recorded from ladder accidents. That statistic goes up as the age of the ladder user goes up, too; a fact accident analysts put down to the can-

do attitude of our older generation, who are used to tackling tasks themselves. Relatively recent changes to the rules about working above a certain height have recognised the perils of falling and of poorly supported surfaces, leading to the requirement for professional tradespeople to erect scaffolding or use a secured harness in many aerial applications. While prudent, this had also added to the time and cost of undertaking such projects, leading many people to try to go it alone. This time of year is especially busy when it comes to getting off the ground, with gutters to

clean, roof leaks to repair and dead tree limbs to cut down before storms drop them. The overwhelming message from health care providers is to be careful, assess the situation, and in any doubt as to your equipment and abilities, call the professionals. The reasoning is clear when a 2006 British study is taken into account. Of 200,000 cases of do-it-yourself injury (in one year, but not the larger population of Great Britain), more than half required

time off work, and all, by definition, required a trip to the doctor. Assuming that due to injury the job was not completed successfully, that’s 200,000 cases where the expense of time off, recuperation, treatment and medication far outstripped the cost of just picking up the phone and hiring someone who specialises for a living. This winter, take a long look at those risky, high-up and outdoor jobs, and question if it’s worth it. 

Virtual introduction to the trades

PLAN AHEAD

 by Andy Bryenton

Avoid Drink Driving

With the practical trades needing tens of thousands of new workers to meet a projected shortfall in future years, new strategies are being developed to entice school-age young people into a career on the tools. A new weapon in this arsenal is one, which has traditionally not been part of the school curriculum — computer games. We may remember the slightly clunky and heavily pixelated educational games of the 1980s, but a new offering being rolled out free of charge to all secondary schools is of a different order altogether. Construction Tycoon is one of three games that have been developed by JOY Business Academy in partnership with Xero, BNZ, Microsoft, BDO, BCITO and the Ministry of Social Development. As in the others, Tech Tycoon and Restaurant Tycoon, the focus is on building a successful business, but in the realm of construction, this also means hiring staff, managing inventory, building homes and staying solvent while juggling cash and work site regulations. Educators plan to use this game to give students a taste of how their career in the trades could unfold; a successful game campaign boosts confidence that a student ‘has what it takes’ to be a tradesperson in the real world. It’s not the first time that the construction industry has turned to

THE RECORD

Gypsy Day planning Farmers across the country are urged to do their bit to protect farms from damaging pest plants by ensuring machinery, vehicles and equipment have been cleaned ahead of Gypsy Day. Gypsy Day occurs in the week leading up to and immediately following June 1 each year. It involves the mass transporting of cows and machinery around the country’s roads as farm contractors relocate themselves and their stock in time for the new season. “Farmers and contractors have an important role to play in preventing the spread of pest plants and weeds through good on-farm biosecurity practices,” said biosecurity pest plants leader, Darion Embling. Unclean machinery is a confirmed pathway for the spread of infestations, such as velvetleaf and alligator weed. That makes machinery hygiene especially important with the mass movement of stock, machines and vehicles between farms.

“Any form of plant or soil contamination has a real potential of harbouring pests or weeds. Machinery should be cleaned so no visible soil or plant matter remains, which might spread pests or weeds. “Ideally, machinery wash-down should occur on the property prior to movement, containing any problems at the source. Alternatively, machinery may be cleaned in a built-for-purpose wash-down facility, but care should be taken to ensure there is not a risk of pest spread during transport to that facility. “Pest plants can have a massive impact on the productivity and profitability of farm businesses, so farmers and contractors need to be extra vigilant when moving between properties.” Also, stand stock off green feed before

they are transported to help keep the region’s roads clear of effluent and safe for users. “A cow’s daily combined effluent is approximately 52 litres, and a truck effluent tank’s capacity is just 200 litres. It means the spillage of effluent onto roads is a real risk unless farmers, in particular, take

some simple steps ahead of time.” It is recommended that farmers confirm stock pick-up times in advance to eliminate confusion, move stock close to the loading ramp the day before, when possible, stand stock off green feed for a minimum of four hours with water and use dry feed before transport because it results in less effluent. 

Local shepherd in Young Farmer final  by Mike Isle

West Melton shepherd Georgie Lindsay will make history in July when she becomes the first woman to represent the Tasman region at the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final. In March, Georgie was already in the history books when she became the first woman to win the Tasman regional final of the FMG Young Farmer of the Year. Georgie, who has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours) from Lincoln University, grew up on a sheep, beef and deer farm in Dipton. At the time of her regional win, she was working at Marble Point Station, a 2,400-hectare property between Hanmer Springs and Culverden, owned by Matt and Sarah Black. She got that job by picking up the phone. “I heard through the grapevine Matt was looking for a shepherd, so I gave him

a call,” she said. “I came for a drive around the farm, and it kind of just went from there.” “I don’t like applying for jobs and Matt didn’t really want to interview people, so it worked out pretty well,” she laughed. The property is run as an equity partnership between Matt and Sarah and West Melton brothers Robin and Gavin Wilson. “The Wilsons are Corriedale stud breeders who bought Marble Point Station and a dairy farm in Hinds and brought young farmers into both businesses as equity partners,” Georgie said.

“There’s a real sense of selflessness in their actions.” Looking ahead, Georgie is doing casual shepherding while she prepares for the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final. “I entered the contest to

learn and grow my skills, so it’s been an exciting few months,” she said. “Whatever else happens will be a bonus.” The FMG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final runs from July 4–6 in Hawke’s Bay. 

Push to address climate change—university  by Mike Isle

Lincoln University Associate Professor Anita Wreford believes many of Lincoln’s activities are at the forefront of the push to address climate change. Dr Wreford recently became the programme lead for the Impacts and Implications Programme in the Deep South National Science Challenge, which aims to support decision-making about climate change adaptation. It includes developing ways to support sectors, communities, businesses and government to plan for climate change and ensure that industries remain productive, flexible and functioning over time. “Some of my colleagues at Lincoln are involved in research exploring alternative land uses, through the Our Land and Water National Science Challenge, and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with different types of production,” she said. “There are also opportunities to generate co-benefits through landbased mitigation if measures are designed carefully. “Biodiversity and soil erosion through increased tree planting are also co-benefits, and Lincoln is carrying

out activities in these areas too.” Where agriculture is concerned, Dr Wreford pointed out that the sector contributes to almost half of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions, so big changes are necessary. “If agriculture didn’t play its part in the government’s Climate Change bill, this would increase the burden elsewhere, especially in New Zealand, where other sectors would have to reduce their emissions by twice as much. “I think farmers are looking at doing things differently in any case,  Dr Anita Wreford to meet other objectives, including water quality, increasing can help with,” Dr Wreford said. biodiversity and reducing erosion. Last week The Record reported that “There will still be room for productivity Environment Canterbury had declared improvements, which Lincoln’s activities a climate emergency. 
