The Hororata games is a unique event with 10 competitive events taking place in amongst a huge cultural festival, which celebrates a very special blend of Scottish and Kiwi culture. “There are very few events that manage to mix such a diverse range of elements giving visitors a full experience,” said event organiser Cindy Driscoll. Chieftain of the day, a traditional Scottish ceremonial role for highland games, Peri Drysdale spoke of her experience: “It was a privilege to witness to these truly wonderful games. The spirit throughout the event was phenomenal.
The spirit of competition and fun, the gamesmanship and the have-a-go spirit were all done with really impressive feats of skill, strength, teamwork and creativity. This spirit is sown deep within the games by a passionate and dedicated community who pull together every year to create something really special and unique.” Hororata Community Trust chair, Richard Lang said: “One of the most pleasing things I saw at the games were families of all ages taking part in the many Have A Go activities together. The vibe of the whole event was of relaxed family fun.

The huge team of volunteers has done an amazing job yet again. To pull off an event this big and do it so well is a massive undertaking. We are grateful to our partners for their support and for joining our community on this journey. “As a community, we are fundraising for our new Hororata Community Centre, this is going to be no small feat, but we have a track record of punching well above our weight so I have no doubt we will achieve our target. The games are the launch pad, and we have been building a foundation from its success to build a bright future for our community.” ¢

Mayor Sam Broughton signed the Te Arataki Taero Kore Accessible Selwyn Charter at a ceremony on Monday attended by disability groups and organisations. The charter commits the council to work in four key areas of leadership, education, technical expertise and health and wellbeing. It sets a path for the local authority to build on steps it has already taken in accessibility, such as equipment and classes at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre to assist people with access to the pool. The design of the Rolleston Town Centre and Te Ara Atea also includes accessibility elements including parking space, wayfinder markers for people with visual impairments, sensory
features and a quiet room. The charter and the council’s Accessibility Action Plan adopted at the same time is the beginning of an ongoing commitment to all Selwyn residents, Broughton said. “It’s a start. We’re not going to be perfect at the very beginning, but by 2025 we want to be well down the road and by 2030 — this will look different again. “It is a document that has been designed for Selwyn and needs to be flexible to meet the needs of our community. “Diversity strengthens our community and this document is part of the council’s commitment to lead on issues of making Selwyn a great place to live for people of all abilities.” ¢
Council reviews community committees Selwyn District Council has confirmed it will begin a review into the model of community committees. There are currently 55 community committees, 52 of which receive council funding; as well as 15 incorporated societies — 13 receive council funding. A number of these incorporated societies deliver some of the functions that community committees deliver. The council said that while committees have added real benefit to the district for many years, it’s time to look at the best model for the future, which ensures effective community and volunteer participation, lifts community engagement in decision-making and allows councillors to be more
available to meet with, listen and discuss matters that affect the local community. The six-month review will look at a range of factors including the structure, role, focus and number of community committees, to see where improvements might be made. The council intends to seek dialogue and opportunities to exchange ideas with a wide range of residents, user groups and community committees. The committees will continue to operate as normal while the review is undertaken. ¢

Art gallery’s new name Assisting youth education u by Ann van Engelen
The Selwyn Gallery officially took the new name of Te Huanui, on Friday, November 1.
p Rua Pick playing his alphorn-like trumpet in celebration of the name Te Huanui for Darfield’s art gallery
“The te reo Maori name Te Huanui, meaning the pathway, road, or highway was presented to us by Te Taumutu Runanga,” said Malvern Community Arts Council chairperson, Philip Baldwin. “In 2018 the decision to seek a te reo Maori name for the gallery was suggested to the MCAC executive, and we approached the runanga for their input. Historically ‘Te Huanui’ refers to the network of trails that Maori settlers used to travel southwards across the Canterbury Plains.” The name also suggests new trails and new pathways that will be made by future generations. “These connect well with the gallery’s mission. We follow the historic trails of artistic technique, experience, and inspiration, and we encourage new methods, materials and skills in the community of artists around us. “When the Selwyn Gallery opened in 1998, it was the only art gallery to support artists in the district. That situation has changed, and we have taken the opportunity to include Art Gallery in Darfield in our new logo to say concisely what we are and where we are located. “Te Huanui is also a reminder that te reo Maori is becoming a greater part
of New Zealand’s identity in the use of words such as kai, tamariki, whanau, aroha, Te Papa for the Museum of New Zealand in Wellington, and Turanga, Christchurch’s new central library. “The Malvern Community Arts Council was a forward-thinking group in the late 1970s. Broadening our cultural and linguistic awareness with the adoption of the name Te Huanui, is, I believe, entirely consistent with their innovative way of thinking and working.” For more information about the name change visit malvernarts.org.nz. ¢

Hannah Frandi was awarded this year’s Selwyn Lions Club scholarship for Ellesmere College as part of the club’s annual youth programme. “We enjoy doing things that involve youth and providing scholarships to encourage their future learning,” said club president Alison Benefield. “Fellow Lion Morag Craig and I recently attended the Ellesmere College presentation ceremony to present the award. Hannah has excelled in science and maths, and our members are proud to support her in her chosen career as she heads off to Otago University next year. “The school choose the student they feel has met the criteria to receive the scholarship, which helps them get started in their first year of study after school. World-wide the Lions put a lot of emphasis on helping youth in any way we can.” Internationally Lions Clubs focus on supporting youth, hunger, the environment, diabetes and child cancer. “They are our five core interests and our club has won the youth award for our district due to the amount of work we do with children. It is one of the reasons many members join as we focus on children of all ages and help encourage them with goals and to become good citizens. “At present, our club is all women, and we have members from 30 years old. Men can join, and we are

Rolleston fireworks u by Ann van Engelen — photos Altamash Askari
The Rolleston Fireworks Committee and volunteers saw 12,500 people turn out to see the local fireworks display held on Saturday night. “We spent tireless hours across an eight-month period planning, and the turnout speaks volumes for how well received the event was by the community,” said committee chair Chris O’Brien. “We rely on each and every worker on the day to cope with that many people. There were some comments in the months leading up to the event about the entry price increase potentially having an impact on attendance. I think the majority were more than happy. Financially we managed to claw back the $11,000 loss made in 2018 and cover the costs for the 2019 event.” It costs between $75,000 to $80,000 each year, and the community attending keeps the event running. “The police and security presence was
significantly higher this year — ensuring there were little to no problems. They were delighted with the result and how smoothly the night ran. “We received great feedback from stallholders, and there are some improvements we will make for 2020. Learning what we did right and what we perhaps didn’t get perfect is a key part of ensuring success remains for years to come. “The committee would sincerely like to thank our supporting partners — Accessman, Pub Charity, Selwyn District Council, Sparky Electrical and the contractors that helped set up and keep us safe during the night. “Without our volunteers and amazing community, we could not continue to host this event.” ¢

Socialising for seniors Malvern’s recycling day u by Ann van Engelen
A new social club is set to start in Darfield, as a place for the older generation to meet, socialise and continue learning. “The University of the Third Age is for retired and semi-retired people who like to continue interacting and gain information on a variety of topics presented by high-level lecturers,” says facilitator Colleen Young. “The Selwyn District is so vast we decided to start a group in Darfield because at the recent Positive Ageing Expo, we established the need for the area. University or retired lecturers, business managers and people with scientific or specialised backgrounds discuss current issues or topics of interest for our age groups.” U3A groups are already in progress in Lincoln, and North Canterbury. “When we started our North Canterbury group, our first event had 100 people turn up. They are wanting to learn, and socialise, without the worry of having to be involved in fundraising activities as most have been there and done that. “A steering committee in each area runs the group. Some have monthly meetings and separate interest events such as history, the environment, art, cycling or literature. We also have a series of lectures on particular topics. Recently we learnt about the justice system with a retired judge giving us an overview of what is happening in

the legal world. U3A has no religious or political background and are run across the world. It is a group of retired people who enjoy each other’s company while we keep our brains active.” The first U3A meeting will be held at the Darfield Recreational Centre, North Terrace on Thursday, November 21 at 10.30am. “This is an informative meeting about what this group can offer semi-retired or retired people in the Darfield/Malvern area. Please come and be inquisitive about lifelong learning.” ¢
The Malvern community recycling day is back and is an opportunity to clean up your shed, back yard and garden waste.

Action on measles too slow u by Amy Adams, MP for Selwyn
I was saddened to learn that the death of two babies and an adult in Samoa have been attributed to complications from measles. It appears that this recent outbreak in Samoa is likely to have started from members of a representative school-aged sports team being exposed to measles while travelling to Auckland. My colleague Dr Shane Reti, MP for Whangarei and the opposition associate health spokesperson, called for pharmacists to be allowed to vaccinate for measles almost two months ago to help stem the spread of the epidemic centred around Auckland. It is a relief that the government has now taken up this suggestion but a shame that it took so long. It makes sense to utilise the resources of our more than 800 vaccination-qualified pharmacists who have been able to administer influenza vaccinations for some time. This simple change will allow many more Kiwis and travellers to be protected from measles. So far this year almost 2,000 New Zealanders have been infected with the disease. The government needs to explain why it took so long to allow pharmacists to vaccinate for measles when it was obvious more people need to be
vaccinated and pharmacists were calling for this to happen. The government should have rolled out vaccinations as widely as possible, as early as possible. Instead, it ignored the early warning signs this year, including three outbreaks in January and February and a letter from the World Health Organisation specifically advising of the risks from measles. Measles is a preventable disease and it is the government’s job to ensure as many Kiwis as possible are vaccinated. The previous national government introduced health targets that resulted in higher immunisation rates but inexplicably this government scrapped them. At last smart, simple moves that will immediately increase access to vaccines are being taken up. However this will be of little comfort to communities in Samoa now in the midst of their own epidemic. ¢

Forestry is the key to getting New Zealand to carbon neutral. Though trees alone can’t achieve carbon neutrality for New Zealand permanently, our forests’ ability to absorb carbon is crucial for reaching 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goals.
“I can’t speak highly enough of your product. It’s eased the pain in my knees, reduced the swelling in my ankles and I no longer wake at night with painful cramps.” — Mike, Nelson.
That’s why there are incentives to plant trees, paid for by carbon emitters. That in turn is why so many New Zealand landowners are planting forests.

Farmers’ surfing opportunity Youth Council Elections open
7
u by Ann van Engelen
Farmers of all types across the Selwyn region and beyond are invited to learn to surf as a therapeutic way to get off-farm, relax, make new friends and gain a skill away from everyday life.
“The farmers’ initiative was started by farm consultant and surfer Stephen Thomson in Gisborne, and a few of us thought we should try and get something similar started here in Canterbury,” says coordinator Sandra Taylor. “He saw a documentary on how the American Armed Forces Post Traumatic Stress sufferers were introduced to the sport, and it totally changed their lives. The initiative here is about providing farmers with an opportunity to get together and have fun, well away from the farm. While it is a fun sport to try, it is something completely different for most farmers and when you are in the water that is all you are thinking about. “I am not a surfer, but I am an open water swimmer and know full well the mental health and physical benefits of
getting into saltwater. Salt air is known to help clear mind.” The group are hoping to begin in early December and are looking at Sumner Beach and Gore Bay after work during the week depending on demand. “It is a good time for staff, wives, partners and families to have a break together. “Saltwater is very healing, and when you are trying something new, you are not thinking about anything else. It is a good way to connect with other people and make new friends. At this stage, we are gauging interest and have professional surf instructors keen to be involved, so we just need farmers and some local sponsors.” For more information — email sandra. taylornz@gmail.com. ¢

An enduring equestrian admiration u by Andy Bryenton
When the automobile rose to power in the early years of the 1900s, many opined that it would be the end of the horse as a mode of transport. Some went further; at the release of an early-model Dodge, one enthusiast foretold that ‘in 10 years the horse will only be seen in zoos or the wild’. Thankfully, such opinions were wrong. The horse is very much a part of life in the country, and though there are few who still rely on equestrian power to plough, muster and carry, horse sports are an ever-popular part of the A&P show circuit. The forthcoming Courtenay A&P show is no exception, with a widely varied card of equestrian events to delight both experts in the saddle and the general public. A look at the amount of events and prizes up for grabs shows the amazing diversity of equestrian disciplines, the massive variation in breeds of horse, and to no lesser extent, the way that horses live on in our day to day language. There are events here for ‘show ponies’; literally non-working horses back in the past, but now a byword for people who are all style over substance. In reality, ponies in training for the show put in long hours of practice with their human partners. The opposite is a category for ‘hacks’; while in earlier times this meant an everyday riding horse, a trusty,

non-fancy and dependable animal, now it can often mean a person who is a worker but not an artist at their craft. Visitors to the Courtenay A&P might be said to be ‘champing at the bit’ to see this year’s field given ‘full rein’. Horses exert a fascination beyond their abilities to run like the wind or to pull the heaviest loads. From Shetland to Clydesdale — these are animals with plenty of personality. Although the biggest horsepower is now to be found in other parts of the showgrounds,
among the latest tractors, the power of the horse is in its ability to inspire across generations. We may not need the efforts of these magnificent creatures to help us power society any longer, but they are still show stoppers in their own right. The Courtenay A&P Show features hundreds of equestrian categories with keen contestants in each one. Plan to visit the show ring on the day to see what keeps humans and horses ‘best mates’, even 100 years after the Model T. ¢

Prize poultry rules the roost u by Andy Bryenton
At this time of year, fluffy baby chickens are everywhere, at kids’ pet days and for sale in the classifieds. If you’re living the rural ‘good life’ it’s a good time to get acquainted with the history of keeping your own flock, which all began with events like the poultry section at the forthcoming Courtenay A&P Show. There’s far more to the humble chicken than many people may expect. First of all, its proper name is Gallus gallus domesticus, and it’s the most common bird on earth, thanks to our appetite for them. Taste alone means there are 50 billion hens and roosters out there today, but showing the best of the species, across a multitude of very different-looking breeds, only began formally in the 1840s. It was then that the first poultry shows were organised, largely by gentleman farmers who legitimately felt pride and affection for their prized birds. These feelings didn’t move the farmers to vegetarianism, but they did use their influence to end the barbaric sport of cockfighting, petitioning the government to make it illegal. It’s one of the first-ever cases of animal rights activism, and poultry shows replaced the fighting pits from 1849 onward. Queen Victoria was a patron, (in the same way as she was for highland dancing, on the preceding page), which helped the movement grow.
Her particular fowl of choice was the stately, chubby Cochin, an example of pets resembling their owners, perhaps. Another patron of the poultry shows was Charles Darwin, who had an understandable fascination with the changes and variants seen across breeds of fowl. Breeding pigeons, which were included in English shows, helped him to work out the details of his theories of natural selection and evolution. The Americans got in on the action in 1849 with a great Boston poultry show. However, there were no judging criteria given, and the exasperated poultry judges could not find a winner ‘without cooking and eating each one’ — something that was not going to happen. Today, the modern poultry show is a place to appreciate the quirky and the

REPRESENTING DAIRY FARMING by Ann van Engelen Robbie Wakelin will represent New Zealand at an international gathering of dairy farmers in Switzerland.
T
he 28-year-old Cantabrian has been selected to attend the 15th World Holstein Friesian Federation Conference in Montreux. Robbie and his brother John run a 300-cow, split-calving dairy farm. The 95-hectare property is owned by a family trust, and Robbie was one of a record 17 people who were vying for the fortnight-long trip, which is being funded by Holstein Friesian NZ. “It is a really humbling experience to have been selected to be part of the New
Zealand delegation,” he said. “It will be an exceptional opportunity to meet other breeders and visit some of Switzerland’s top Holstein Friesian herds. John was probably secretly hoping that I wasn’t picked for the trip. It is next March, and a number of our top cows are due to calve while I am away.” Robbie is passionate about genetics and breeding efficient, high-producing cows with exceptional udders. The herd’s production averages 550 to

600 kilograms of milk solids for each cow. “We don’t have a feedpad, but we do have a feed system in the milking shed where cows receive a high-energy blend,” he said. “We are trained artificial insemination (AI) technicians and the business has an embryo transfer programme, and we usually rear 60 to 70 replacement heifer calves on nearby lease blocks. “We have been importing high-quality embryos from Canada to implant in our cows for the past five or six years. It is a key part of our breeding strategy.”
The herd’s pedigree Holstein Friesians are registered under Belbrook Holsteins. It is the leading herd in New Zealand for having the highest number (120) of excellent cows, according to Holstein International magazine. The herd’s ‘E’ bloodline is littered with production champions, long life cows and show ring superstars. “We have done a bit of embryo work on our ‘E’ family, starting with the late Belbrook Talent Elspeth EX3. We have had some promising results. A few heifers from that family have

been performing better than our imported genetics.” Robbie’s long-term goal is for one of his bovine beauties to be named Champion Cow at the New Zealand Agricultural Show in Canterbury. He is taking a team of eight cows and four heifers to next month’s show. “My love of showing began in primary school when my late father Trevor Wakelin bought a cow named Cresslands Ambition Dalia EX4. Showing Dalia’s first calf ignited my passion for cows and the Holstein Friesian breed in particular.” Robbie doesn’t just show cattle, he is also a trained judge. “I became an associate judge in 2008 when I was 16 years old and have judged at several shows, on-farm competitions and club competitions.

I am an active member of the HFNZ Canterbury Branch and have won the coveted Pitcairn’s Trophy twice.” The trophy is awarded to the winner of the Holstein Friesian NZ Junior Judging Competition, which will be held at next month’s New Zealand Agricultural Show. “I urge people to enter and have a go. Knowing how to assess a cow’s physical traits, like the structure of her udder, rump width and legs, is an important skill to know. They are skills I use every time I select a bull to use over a cow at mating. You want to produce a calf that doesn’t have the cow’s faults. Farming sustainably is also a key focus
for me. I want to continue improving soil microbe activity, lowering fertiliser application and mineralising our soils. I believe the likelihood of lower stocking rates presents a big opportunity for the Holstein Friesian breed, where cows have higher individual production.” The World Holstein Friesian Federation Conference takes place every four years, and Robbie’s trip will run from March 14 to 29.
