The National Ploughing Association event was hosted by the Courtenay Paparua Ploughing Association on Saturday, with the West Melton Young Farmers Club running the competition on Sunday, as well as ensuring all competitors and spectators were well looked after over the weekend. The two-day event was held on the Seaton family property on Highfield Road

near Kirwee. Chair of the Courtenay Paparua Ploughing Association, Jeff Cridge, said they were delighted with how the weekend went. “Given the time we had to organise everything, and with the national championships held just two weeks prior, we were pleased with the turnout and the quality of the ploughing. “The West Melton Young Farmers Club

did a fantastic job over the weekend, and we had an outstanding turnout of spectators on the Sunday. “We are keen to get some new blood into the sport and have been targeting young farmers to get involved, whether they are members of a club or not.”

On May 19, 950 firefighters take on the 1,103 stairs of Auckland’s Sky Tower for the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge raising funds for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. Selwyn firefighters and brigades from around the district including Dunsandel, Kirwee, Leeston and Southbridge, will gear up with full firefighting kit and breathing apparatus weighing up to 25kg to take on the challenge. Many of them have already been fundraising for the event, and so far firefighters from across the country have raised over $400,000 towards a fundraising target of $1 million. The funds raised will help Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand run their vital nationwide service supporting Kiwis and their families who are living with blood cancer. Leukaemia & Blood Cancer NZ general manager, Georgie Hackett, said the support from brigades and their local communities is humbling. “We are so grateful for the tremendous generosity and hard work of firefighters participating in the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge.

Good in the Hood, which runs for the month of May gives over a million dollars every year to around 800 Kiwi groups doing good for people or the environment in the areas around the country’s 200-plus Z service stations. Every Z service station has chosen four groups in their own neighbourhoods to support in 2018 and will share $4,000 between them. Locals will determine what percentage of the funding goes to each group by voting with an orange token each time they shop at Z in May. Z Community Manager, Gerri Ward, said the need each group is addressing will be labelled on the voting booths, so locals can clearly see the impact the funding will have.

“The needs identified by groups in 2018 range from reducing food waste and feeding the hungry, to reducing illegal rubbish dumping in our creeks, to providing emergency air services and saving local lives. “Good in the Hood gives the local service stations the choice of which groups to support, to help ensure that local needs are addressed.” On top of the $4,000 in May, every Z service station has an additional $1,000 to use for discretionary Good in the Hood neighbourhood support in 2018.

Selwyn success stories celebrated

From the Selwyn district in the south to the Kaipara district in the north, and to farms as far-flung as the Wairarapa to Cape Reinga, people have come to rely on the accuracy and old-fashioned journalistic values of NorthSouth Multi Media publications such as The Record.

Successful Selwyn residents and organisations will be recognised in this year’s Selwyn Awards with a new excellence in innovation award and a People’s Choice award being handed out for the first time.

 West Rolleston Primary School, Te Kura o Te uru Kowhai Establishment Board of Trustees were the Environmental award winners in the 2016 Selwyn Awards

 Kent Caddick The Record editor

 Theresa Murray sales representative

The company’s managing director, Allan Mortensen, said these publications equate to one of their newspapers being delivered to a home two and a half million times a year — each one locally owned, staffed and operated. “That’s a big responsibility, but one which our team of journalists, designers, writers, salespeople and administrators are proud to accept,” Mr Mortensen said. Now NorthSouth Multi Media is changing its name to reflect its core principles, and from May 8 will be known as Integrity Community Media. The ownership and staff of the company will all remain the same, and the company remains 100% Kiwi-owned and operated despite the challenges of multinational competition. “We’re also holding true to the oldfashioned principles of truth, accuracy and relevance in the press,” The Record editor, Kent Caddick said. “We are fully focussed on the happenings

in our Selwyn community, and that will not change. In a world where internet pundits and self-proclaimed experts vie for their preferred political spin, and the outright trivial has become ‘news’, Integrity Community Media will always stand out as different. “As a reader, advertiser, organisation, business,sports team, club or charity represented in our pages, you can count on that spirit being carried on, with Integrity.” The Record sales representative, Theresa Murray, said the paper will still focus on ensuring local businesses have the opportunity to promote themselves directly to the communities they operate in. “We have some great local businesses, which have trusted us with promoting their services and products to the wider Selwyn community. “We would like to thank them, and we look forward confidently to our future in business together.” 

Nominations are now open for the 2018 Selwyn Awards, which are held every two years, seek to recognise individuals and organisations for outstanding work or inspirational achievements. The Selwyn Award winners will be announced out at a gala dinner at the Lincoln Event Centre on Saturday, August 4, where all nominees will be celebrated, and the winners in each of the ten categories will be announced. Selwyn Mayor, Sam Broughton, said the awards are an opportunity to celebrate local success and share our stories with one another. “Selwyn is full of people doing great work, not for glory, but because they believe in what they are doing,” Mayor Broughton said. “It’s good to recognise and highlight these achievements as models and examples of our development and leadership as a district. “I encourage you to think about who is deserving of this recognition and nominate them.” The award categories open for nomination this year are: Arts, Culture and Heritage, Community Service, Environmental, Innovation Excellence, Large Business, Small Business, Sport, Tourism, and Young Achievers. For the first time, a People’s Choice

Award will be presented. “This is an opportunity for the community to get even more involved in the awards,” Mayor Broughton said. Voting for People’s Choice will take place on the Selwyn Awards website from Friday, June 22 with nominations for this award closing on June 15. Nominees will be assessed by independent and expert judges in each category across a range of areas. In 2016, a total of 55 nominations were received. The awards are open to individuals and organisations who live or are based, in Selwyn district and meet the criteria for entry listed on nomination forms.

THE RECORD

Busy month for libraries Getting active co.nz. Two new programmes are being offered at Selwyn District Libraries in May, focussing on fashion and crafts. Libraries in Rolleston, Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln are hosting two four-week courses in May and June for those interested in becoming a fashion designer, merchandiser or stylist. The Fashion Illustration course is suitable for ages 13 to 18 years. “Attendees will learn to develop their own croquis, a basic fashion design sketch,” a council spokesperson said. “The course run by trained fashion designer, Trudi Fraser, teaches how to analyse and draw female fashion figures, as well as how to develop design ideas and fashion sketches. The course will also include basic silhouettes used in fashion design and how to represent clothing simply and effectively.” The courses are free but bookings are required. Meanwhile, ‘Crafternoon’ is a new regular fortnightly drop-in craft session for people who want to craft together. The sessions offer a chance to share and learn new skills, swap tips, improve techniques and be inspired. Attendees are welcome to bring their own projects, materials and crafting kits, and the drop-in sessions take place fortnightly from 2pm to 3pm at all libraries during term time, beginning in Darfield on May 8. 

Pay attention! around road works

Selwyn District Council’s road safety team are running an ‘Active Autumn’ active transport campaign for schools in the second term. School Road Safety coordinator, Stephanie Hautler, said ‘active transport’ is using physical activity such as walking, biking or scootering, to get to and from school, rather than the commute in a car or bus trip. She said there are many physical and mental benefits to active transport. “Children develop increased road safety awareness, decision making and risk assessment skills. It takes practice to develop skills such as being able to judge the speed of a moving vehicle, or how big a gap is needed to cross a busy road  Active transport to and from school is being encouraged with safely,” Ms Hautler said. the ‘Active Autumn’ school campaign “Gaining these life skills as a child is an important step towards “Skipping the car ride also means gaining independence.

Organisers happy with ploughing turnout West Melton Young Farmers Club chair, Bex Legat, said they were happy with the way things went. “It went really well, and with the great weather, we had around 300 spectators through the gate on Sunday. We want to keep making the event bigger and bigger every year.” Ms Legat said they are also keen to get members and other young farmers into competition. “We need to get younger competitors involved as most competing are in the older age group, with the local Seaton brothers, Ashley and Warwick, who are in their 30s, being the youngest competitors. “We are looking at a competition, which would be a little less technical than the one the experienced competitors compete in to encourage people to give it a go.” She said they were able to raise just over $250 from donations at the gate, which will go to the National Ploughing Association to help run further competitions, including the world championships in 2028. “We also had a number of local organisations like Malvern St John who used the event to help raise funds for themselves, and they and the stall holders were pleased with the way the day went.

“We would also like to thank the Seaton family for the use of their land for the competition.” Lincoln’s John Stalker was the standout competitor in the vintage class taking out first place on both days of competition. Local Courtenay competitor, Ashley Seaton, whose family hosted the event, made sure of his qualification to next year’s nationals with a third and a second placing in the Silver Plough competition. Timaru’s Bob Mehrtens was first in the Silver Plough in the Saturday competition with Ian Woolley of Blenheim taking out first spot on the Sunday. Dunsandel’s Paul McCartin did the Open Plain Plough double on the weekend taking out first place on both days of competition.

THE RECORD

Controlling disease outbreaks

Safety first this shooting season Selwyn duck shooters are being reminded to play it safe this duck shooting season.

A ‘game-changing’ piece of technology for quickly identifying harmful strains of bacteria in food has just become available in New Zealand, thanks to a partnership between a Lincoln University taxonomy expert and two senior food safety researchers from the United States.

 Selwyn duck shooters are being asked to play it safe this season

The reminder comes from the Firearms Safety Council Aotearoa New Zealand (FSCANZ) following the opening of the duck shooting season over the weekend. According to FSCANZ chair, Joe Green Zealand, duck shooters should always remember some simple but important safety messages. “Be aware the shot from a shotgun can travel 250 metres and has a wide spread pattern particularly at longer ranges,” Mr Green said. “Also, your firing zone will change when following a duck that is flying across in front of you, and always check all your potential firing zone.” He also warned shooters to be aware that safety catches can fail. “It is acceptable to rely on the safety catch

of a semi-automatic shotgun when expecting to see ducks at any time. However, you must take extra care to ensure the gun is always pointed in a safe direction. “If you use a semi-automatic shotgun, it is wise to have your safety catch checked by a gunsmith before the season begins. When using a break open or pump action shotgun, load only when ready to fire and leave the action open at all other times.” Mr Green said shooters should also be aware of tiredness when shooting. “The duck shooting season is a social event for many. Late nights and early mornings can compromise safety, and tired shooters are likely to be less alert and may be more likely to drop their guard.” 

outbreaks by providing a ‘specific fingerprint’ of bacteria cultured on a standard agar media plate. This allows scientists to pinpoint strains of interest more quickly, with a particular focus on pathogens. “If there’s an outbreak of E coli or Salmonella, for example, you may have dozens of samples to examine,” Dr On said. “The technology provides the major advantage of identifying the pathogen of concern by rapidly screening it from microorganisms naturally present in food or clinical samples. No comparable technology is available elsewhere — it’s a game-changer.” 

Broadfield ends Lincoln’s winning streak  by Kent Caddick

Broadfield has upset defending champions Lincoln in round two of the Selwyn premier netball competition.

 Greenpark centre Micaela Diedrichs pulls in a pass

 Southbridge’s Tracey Stone lines a shot up at goal

 Southbridge wing attack Sarah Ormandy moves the ball through the court

In a repeat of last year’s grand final, Broadfield edged Lincoln 56–55 in a thrilling game at the Lincoln Events Centre on Saturday. It is Lincoln’s first loss in over two years in the competition and came after it led by ten goals after the first quarter. A tenacious Broadfield clawed its way back into the match and eventually took the lead, finishing just one goal ahead of the defending champions. Lincoln player-coach Vanessa Robinson, who is out injured at the moment, said they have a different team to last year. “We have some young players in the squad, and we are working with them to teach them about playing in the premier competition,” she said. “We have a lot of areas to make improvements on, and I guess the loss is better at the start of the competition than at the end of the season.” Meanwhile, Southbridge showed improvement from its first-round loss, but it still wasn’t enough to beat Greenpark B. The first half was a tight affair with both sides going goal for goal until Greenpark established a small lead by half-time. Greenpark then kicked on in the final two quarters to take the match 45–37.

In the other match of the round, Greenpark A proved too strong for West Melton running out winners 59–23. In the Premier two grade Rolleston recorded a big win over Halswell, 65–31, Southbridge B downed Burnham 43–28 and Lincoln B edged Broadfield B 32– 31. 

THE RECORD

A time to thank Mum for all she has done Mother’s Day is a modern celebration honouring one’s own mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations honouring family members, such as Father’s Day.

The celebration of Mother’s Day began in the United States in the early 20th century. It is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a celebration of the mother church, not motherhood). Despite this, in some countries Mother’s Day has become synonymous with these older traditions. The modern Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908 in the United States when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. Anna’s mission was to honour her own mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honour mothers, ‘the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world’. Anna’s mother, Ann Jarvis, was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues.

The Salon

What to get Choosing the perfect gift for Mother’s Day can be a difficult task for some, but with a little creative thinking and planning, you can surprise mum with just the right gift to make her smile. First, put some thought into it. This is the woman who carried you around for nine months, cooked for you, did your dirty laundry and raised you to have some manners. Don’t go to the store and purchase that first bouquet of roses you find. Consider her interests and what she likes before plopping down some cash on something just for the sake of getting her a gift. Some great gift ideas to consider are: • Potted Plants — choose something in a decorative pot or in her favourite colour.

• Perfume — make sure you know what scent she wears and likes. She might hate floral scents and prefers fruity smells. Do a little recon to find out what she might be running low on. • Bird Feeder — if she loves gardening or the outdoors a beautiful bird feeder could be a nice addition to her garden. • Spa day — treat mum to a spa day. Nothing melts away the stress more than being pampered. Something as simple as a pedicure and a chance to get away for an hour could be the perfect gift for mum, especially if she is a new mother. • Earrings — simple and elegant earrings that she can wear with any outfit are a simple way to let mum know she is appreciated. 

THE RECORD May 9 - 2018

Show her you care  by Jill Dickie

On publicly recognised days such as Mother’s Day it is accepted and expected we purchase gifts to celebrate the recipient on that day, but it doesn’t need to be a matter of spending money nor of only recognising them on that day alone. Living overseas may have you feeling a long way away from mum, whether you are away or she is, but there are still ways to connect via the internet, through Skype for instance. There is also the option of sending virtual flowers and cards through cyberspace from the many sites available. Maybe this day is an opportunity to make an effort to stay in touch if you haven’t yet! It could be that this year you need to visit your mum in a hospital in which case she will be pleased to see you more than a gift, in fact, anything familiar that feels like her home. If you want to take a gift, consider some of her favourite things such as a special photograph, the cushion from her chair, or something from her jewellery collection. These things will be so much more meaningful to her and knowing you thought deeply about her will definitely score you some brownie points! If she is in full-time care, it is still important to visit and show her you’re thinking of her, regardless of whether she remembers it’s Mother’s Day or not pay a visit, and bring a handmade card or even home baking if that’s allowed.

Sadly some families need to visit their mums at a cemetery and taking a bunch of fresh flowers and doing a spot of weeding is both a time for communicating and healing, including a beautiful time of remembrance. From an entirely different perspective, perhaps you are disconnected from your mother and family this year. It may be a matter of doing your duty a little begrudgingly, or not making contact at all, either way, let the day go by, and maybe next year you might feel better about it. Or the year after. Of course, it should be mentioned that mothers everywhere should be recognised every day, not only on this one day. They run the household in many cases, some work full-time jobs then come home for their ‘other’ job, often placing their own needs as a low priority. Their maternal instinct developed before you were born, they watch out for you emotionally, spiritually, and physically, whether you want them to or not, so show some love and at the very least pick up the phone and say “Thanks, Mum.” 

OPEN DAYS

Robert and Nicola Pearcy are New Zealand trained teachers and have seen the Kip McGrath Education programmes work first-hand. The pair have worked both in New Zealand and the United Kingdom and have been involved in education for many years. Prior to taking over Kip McGrath Education, they worked as tutors in other Kip McGrath branches in Christchurch. “We first saw the benefits of Kip McGrath Education when our young son suffered an injury, which led to much absence from school. Missing so much school led to a loss of confidence and gaps in his education. He found once he was behind the pace of his busy classroom made it hard to keep up. Kip McGrath Education was able to give our young son the confidence he needed to progress. The relationship he was able to form with his tutor meant he would say if he didn’t understand and working one to one the tutor had time to really listen to him. Working at Kip McGrath gave him back his confidence and filled those gaps in his education,” they said. As with many children who attend Kip McGrath he was able to believe in his ability again and progress. It was at this point Robert and Nicola became passionate about what Kip does for children and how Kip McGrath can work alongside what children do at school. This was when they decided they would like to run a Kip McGrath branch themselves as they had seen first hand what it could do for children. “Working with parents and children

and schools, we aim to give children that boost they sometimes need in their education. “It is our aim to prevent children from slipping through the system in our busy world. All children have individual education plans and work one to one with their tutor. Our activities are a mixture of computer-based, practical and written work. Children enjoy working towards their targets by gaining points and receiving awards.” They believe there is no reason for anyone’s child to lack confidence and have difficulties with reading writing and number work. “Sometimes it just takes some individual attention at their pace to reach their potential and to believe in themselves.” As a group of tutors, they have a diverse range of abilities at our centre. Nicola is trained in Early Childhood Education and Primary teaching so is able to work with pre-school and primary children specialising in prereading and pre-writing skills as well as early reading, writing and maths. Robert is primary trained and very skilled at working with all levels of primary school. Their other tutors have strengths in upper primary school maths and secondary school maths. “Our greatest pleasure is to hear children say ‘the work at school is getting easier’ and to know you have helped alleviate parents concerns.”

THE RECORD May 9 - 2018

Choosing the best for your child Watching a child in your care grow from a toddler to a confident young adult, for some is one of life’s greatest pleasures, but that’s not to say it doesn’t come with its fair share of trials. One of the most crucial decisions is deciding who to assign the critical role of educating your youngster. When you are looking for an education provider, there can be a number of options to choose from. Firstly make a list of all the available options for education providers in your area keeping in mind travel times, transport and zoning. It also helps to make a list of the things that are important to you and your child such as the style of care, services offered, size of the establishment and parental involvement. Look into things such as who looks after the children, what are their qualifications, are there routines such as nap times and how they manage behaviour. The most important thing to do is go for visits and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. Take note of how

welcome you feel on first arrival. Do the other students seem happy? Do the adults and children seem to respect one another? It is also possible to check the Education Review Office report. ERO is a government department that reviews ECE services, kohanga reo, schools and kura as part of its work. These reports provide information for parents and communities about strengths and next steps for development for each service. The reports cover things like the learning environment, processes and procedures, how educators relate to students, the commitment to bicultural practices and how they support Maori learners, how they review and monitor themselves, and their vision and philosophy. They can be viewed here: ero.govt.nz/ review-reports/. 

Staying safe with chainsaws  by Andy Bryenton

They’ve revolutionised forestry and changed the way the average person deals with firewood — and even the way farmers cut fence posts to size or builders chop down excess timber. Whether felling, pruning or making mounds of winter fuel, the ubiquitous chainsaw has saved hundreds of hours of time and added millions to the economy. Nevertheless, there are still those who don’t know how to stay safe with these powerful tools. Stihl, manufacturers of some of the biggest and most advanced saws on the planet, are always interested to educate the public on what the logging industry already know well. The uptake of proper safety gear has led to a dramatic decline in major injuries in what was once known as the most dangerous job in the forest. New technology in chainsaws themselves, with powerful and quick-acting chain brakes and systems to prevent ’bucking’ and chains sticking tight combines with material tech in items like safety chaps and nigh-impenetrable eye protection, mesh visored helmets, thick gloves and steel capped boots to create a suit of armour for the saw user. Chainsaw safety is partly about this full suite of protective items — including ear protection from the massive sound of the engine — and also about technique. Learning the right way to cut is just as important as the thick fibres,

which clog the chain if you miss and hit your protective chaps, or the tempered lens coating, which stops wood splinters from striking your eyes. If you’re a novice — and this season will see a fair number of first-time chainsaw users, migrated from the city to enjoy the country life — don’t just settle for buying a great saw. Talk to the folks at your local chainsaw specialists about technique — they have web resources, brochures and tips from the forestry trade to make your work safer quicker and easier. Finally, remember that a sharp, lubricated and smooth-running chainsaw is safer than an old ‘rust bucket’. Give your machine a pre-winter tune-up to ensure a tight, free-running chain, sharp teeth and a reliable start. After all, without all of these things, you may be better off with the old-fashioned axe and hatchet. Chainsaw Safety Week runs through mid-May, but the best advice of your local pros — make it every week! 

Conquest of the unknown

Oi!

 by Andy Bryenton

We live in a nation where adventure tourism is king — people from all over the planet have New Zealand on their bucket list for our dramatic scenery and wild open spaces. With few wild animals to menace the outdoors trekker and a dizzying choice of terrains, from tundra to mountains to rainforests, it’s easy to see why we’re a top pick for the adventurous. And hard to see why many Kiwis haven’t explored their own backyard. A great way to remedy this situation is the classic combo of a road trip and two wheels. Adventure motorcycling has come a long way in recent years, and the price of getting on board a machine capable of bashing through the old Paris to Dakar or beating the Baja is more reasonable than ever. At the same time, technology has beefed up the bare-bones image of the old endurance motorcycle, so that now it’s easier than ever to travel in comfort. Leave your hiking shoes behind and get on board the latest Suzuki V-Strom — the formidable 1000x ABS. For novices, there’s always the 650cc model, but the big one-litre four-stroke is truly top of the tree when it comes to adventurous riding. With beefy power delivered by that thumping big v-twin mill — set low down in the frame for better weight distribution — and a six-speed box delivering power via some serious rubber, the latest V-Strom lives up to its lineage with grip and torque aplenty. Both front and rear suspensions are

fully adjustable, and this is where the techno-magic begins — that ABS in the name stands for one of the most advanced antilock and braking systems fitted to an adventure bike. Squeeze the front brake, and the rear brake comes on progressively for a safer stop. Anti-lock technology has been taken to a new extreme, coming online not just when the bike is straight up and down, but also when it’s leaned into the corners. This inspires confidence, as does the intuitive riding position, the easy to read and understand control layout and the sheer low-down power of the V-Strom. Those who have previously not ventured off the tarmac of the open highway will take to the gravel and mud with ease, while those weaned on farm bikes and quads will find this a perfect hand in

glove fit — just far more fun. There’s very little which beats being outside and part of the environment, and adventure riders know this feeling well. Introduce yourself to the latest V-Strom at your local Suzuki dealership and get the most out of New Zealand’s natural ‘adventure playground’. 
