A tradition of teamwork

This year’s Courtenay A&P Show will feature all the classics of a Kiwi agricultural festival …

p It’s a tough life being in the Tug Life tug o’ war team at the eighth annual Hororata Highland Games held last Saturday. However, it was all part of the fun and competition that drew a crowd of 9,000 to the Hororata Domain. As well as the fiercely fought Southfuel’s Tug o’ War, Scottish traditional games and dancing and the gathering of the clans, visitors were treated to more local fare such as the traditional pie-eating competition and kapa haka. Some ‘brave souls’ among the visitors even had the chance to toss a caber themselves as well as discovering the best of Celtic culture. Organisers say the event was an outstanding success and went off without a hitch after rain earlier in the week threatened to spoil the games. Full story and photos on page 7.

NEWS briefs Call for volunteers Selwyn’s fire stations are in good shape, and most are fully staffed but there is always room for more volunteers says Fire and Emergency NZ. Fire and Emergency NZ has 338 volunteers across 15 stations in Selwyn. Some such as Lincoln have a waiting list to become volunteer firefighters. Others such as Kirwee are actively seeking volunteers and offer immediate training. Kirwee’s chief fire officer (CFO) Stuart Jones said joining the brigade offered a great opportunity to learn new skills and become part of a friendly motivated team. “Becoming a frontline p Selwyn’s volunteer firefighters giving back to the community firefighter or a member of the support team is a chance to really help as transferable skills in leadership, the community and at the same time to decision making, problem solving learn new skills such as first aid that we and teamwork. can all use in all aspects of our lives.” The pride that comes from Lincoln CFO Jeremy Greenwood, who volunteering is motivating, rewarding has been a volunteer for 24 years, said and boosts self-esteem. that for him the most satisfying aspect “Our volunteer firefighters are of the job was giving something back to the first to respond to fires, medical the community. emergencies, road accidents and “I think most volunteers would say other incidents.” the same thing.

Hand hygiene important The Canterbury District Health Board is reminding its staff and the public of the importance of good hand hygiene. The DHB made it the focus of last week’s Patient Safety Week, and Louise Brown from Burwood Hospital’s Infection Prevention and Control Team has firsthand knowledge of how important hand hygiene is. She said effective hand hygiene helps stop the spread of microorganisms (‘germs’), including those that can cause antibiotic-resistant infections. “Prevention of infection measures range from basic hand hygiene of hospital staff and the isolation of patients with high-risk organisms, effective cleaning and disinfection of equipment and surfaces, right through to education, research, surveillance activity and audits. “Good hand hygiene is the simplest, most effective way to prevent infections

and has an important role in reducing antibiotic use,” she said. ¢

Hundreds recognise Armistice Coastal Pacific returns u by Ann van Engelen

The Centenary of Armistice Day was observed by some 500 people in a morning of commemoration and celebration at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand last Sunday.

KiwiRail’s iconic Coastal Pacific scenic journey will roll again between Picton and Christchurch from December 1. The service will run every day, except Christmas Day, until late April 1919.

p More than 500 people attended the Armistice Day commemorations at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand on Sunday

Reimona Crofts of Ngai Tahu opened the outdoor ceremony with a karakia followed by the Woolston Brass marching down the centre of the Museum’s car park to halt beneath the New Zealand flag and Royal New Zealand Air Force ensign. The deputy chief of Air Force, Air Commodore Mark Brunton and local Wigram MP the Hon Dr Megan Woods made the addresses, and a bugler played the Last Post in honour of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice during World War One, 1914–1918. “At 11.00am two minutes’ silence marked the precise moment that the guns fell silent on the battlefields of Western Europe 100 years ago. You could feel the sense of solemnity in the air, as everyone in the crowd reflected on the significance of the moment,” said museum communications manager, Michelle Sim. “The fact that all you could hear during that time was birdsong seemed

very fitting. The two minutes’ silence concluded with a ‘roaring chorus of jubilant sound’, as the assembled crowd echoed the sentiment of so many a century ago when the most brutal war in human history came to an end. Some gave a ‘woop’ or a ‘hurrah’ or tossed their hat into the air, while others gave heartfelt applause. “The Concert for Peace, at the museum’s aircraft hall involved choral and orchestral performances from Music Canterbury affiliates, including Woolston Brass, Christchurch City Choir and Christchurch School of Music Children’s Choir was a rousing tribute to those who served and lived through the First World War.” ¢

p Coastal Pacific crossing the Kahutara River en route to Picton

The ser vice has been on hold for two years, following the Kaikoura earthquake. KiwiRail’s group general manager sales and commercial, Alan Piper, said the announcement would be welcome news to the people of Kaikoura because the Coastal Pacific plays a crucial role by bringing thousands of tourists into the area. “Before the earthquake, the Coastal Pacific carried about 43,000 passengers into the Marlborough/ Kaikoura regions during its summer season. These passengers are estimated to spend almost $35m in

the two regions, supporting 300 local jobs,” Mr Piper said. “KiwiRail is one of New Zealand’s largest tourism operators, delivering a million tourists around the country each year on its Great Journeys of New Zealand ferry and train services. “We are delighted to confirm this well-loved service will be running again this summer, allowing thousands of travellers from around the world to once again enjoy this spectacular coastline by train.” The Coastal Pacific service departs from Christchurch each morning and returns from Picton each afternoon. ¢

Call for Carseat Champions u by Mike Isle

Canterbury including Rolleston is one of the most active real estate markets in New Zealand according to October statistics from realestate.co.nz.

Spokesperson, Vanessa Taylor, says the area “is a unique region. A big climb in new listings and a small drop in asking price will make it an attractive market for home buyers.” New listings in the Canterbury region lifted 12.3 per cent to 1,776, while the average asking price dropped 2.7 per cent to $498,208. In the past month, the Canterbury region had more than 44,000 unique browsers looking at property. “Cantabrians remain the biggest searchers for property within the

Selwyn ideal living laboratory Reviewing speed limits u by Mike Isle

Lincoln University is making a significant investment to support and grow regional understanding of tourism, and Selwyn is the ideal region for it the university says. The university has announced it has created a new centre of excellence — Sustainable Tourism for Regions, Communities and Landscapes — to tackle what it calls the dual challenge of growing the value of tourism and enriching the tourist landscape in New Zealand. The multi-disciplinary centre is drawing on the expertise of researchers from across the university in such diverse areas as destination management, landscape design, policy and planning, marketing, rural regeneration, parks and protected areas, resource economics and community resilience. The head of the new centre, Dr Mike Mackay, said that it is important to keep an eye on the impact of increasing tourist numbers and to advance ideas about how to best support the growth of good regional tourism. “As more visitors arrive, and the tourism sector grows and diversifies, destination marketing and effective strategic tourism planning need to go hand in hand, especially in regional areas. Some regions are already benefitting greatly from New tourism

innovations such as cycle trails, geoparks, farm and agritourism, adventure activities and new wine and food tourism.” Dr Mackay said there were wonderful areas on the doorstep of Lincoln University — Selwyn, Mackenzie Country, Waitaki and Hurunui districts and Banks Peninsula — which researchers and students can use as living laboratories. “This research will focus on the pressing needs of the sector, and we look forward to continuing our work with Lincoln academics,” said TIA chief executive, Chris Roberts. Lincoln University is developing two other centres of excellence: Designing Future Productive Landscapes, and Food for Future Consumers., Each centre focuses on issues of strategic importance to New Zealand and responds to a need for greater innovation, productivity, resilience and sustainability. Lincoln’s research expertise in a wide range of land-based disciplines means it is uniquely positioned to add value in these areas. ¢

The council has also approved a range of speed limit changes for public consultation. The changes in question are mainly around schools, and follow a prior round of speed limit changes in late 2017. The proposed speed limit changes include reducing speed limits around school frontages to 40 km/h. A variable 40km/h school zone speed limit on Weedons Ross Road fronting Weedons School and Robinsons Road fronting Broadfield School. Reducing all 70km/h limit areas to either 60km/h or 50km/h and reducing a number of 100km/h areas to either 80, 60 or 50km/h. Changes to some 70km/h zones are also proposed, in line with NZTA guidelines. Consultation on both the bylaw and the speed limit changes will be open until February 2019. Selwyn District has 25 schools — 22 primary and three secondary schools. The ‘Your Speed’ radar that is mounted at various times outside Selwyn District schools has identified speeding concerns. Police strictly enforce speed past schools, and anyone caught travelling more than 4km/h above the posted speed limit within 250 metres of a school or early childhood centre boundary is liable for a fine.

Sun shines on Hororata Games u by Mike Isle Photos: David Baird Photography

Dancers flinging, drum majors twirling, strongmen and women competing, bands playing — there was plenty to attract 9,000 visitors to the eighth annual Hororata Highland Games held last Saturday at the Hororata Domain.

p Julie Stechmann competes in the stone putt

Event manager, Cindy Driscoll, said the weather remained a concern right up to the event after heavy rain earlier in the week threatened to turn the domain into a sodden mess. “The team rose to this challenge and were well prepared. We are very lucky with the Hororata Domain as a venue; as it coped with the amount of rain, we received on the Friday with surface water draining away by the time the gates opened on Saturday.” More than 500 competitors competed in 12 events, including the Tug O’ War, Sack Carry and Small-Bore Rifle Shooting. The Gough CAT Oceania Heavyweight Championship was won by New Zealander Jono McFarlane, Julie Stechmann won the Amateur Heavy Women’s Championship and Brian Reeves won the men’s. The Champion Highland Dancer was Danielle Joy, and Champion Pipe Band was Canterbury Caledonian Society’s Highland Pipe Band. The Darfield High School team won the Harraways Junior Warriors interschool competition, and the Average Joes from Christchurch took out the trophy pull in the Southfuels Tug O’ War.

Cookson took out the Selwyn Times Kilted Mile, this running race is not the normal mile; competitors have to jump over obstacles, eat, drink and run. Harry won the race with his ability to eat a Hororata Pie in record time. Chieftain Patrick Hellier, New Zealand’s highest achieving Highland Games Heavy athlete, commented “It was great for me to experience the full festival surrounding the arena where I normally spend most of my time. I enjoyed meeting the clans and seeing the other competitions.” Cindy Driscoll said The Hororata Highland Games was a community event staged by the Hororata Community Trust and would not be possible without community passion, dedication and commitment. “The games put Hororata on the map, and it is the launch pad for other projects such as the planned new Hororata Community Centre and the Hororata Night Glow. “Twelve community groups fundraise at the event which is a huge opportunity for them as the games bring a wider audience to the district. The games take a collective approach and because of this has strengthened the community.” ¢

Celebrating the country life u by Andy Bryenton

A lot has changed in Canterbury over the last 143 years — imagine back to those times, when New Zealand was still a brand new country, and agriculture in this part of the world was still powered largely by draught horses and bullocks, sheep drovers and pioneering farmers. What would people from those times think of the modern tractors, harvesters and electronic technology which has turned farming into a science that drives the New Zealand economy? It’s probably a safe bet to think they’d be proud of how far we’ve come. Moreover, there’s another certainty, too. It’s the fact that those early farmers would recognise a big event on the local calendar — the Courtenay A&P Show.

That’s because this fine old tradition is in its 143rd year in 2018, and it still embraces the best of the old alongside the new. Like most Agricultural and Pastoral shows, the Courtenay A&P — which will be held in Kirwee this November 24 — has its roots in both a celebration of the land and what it can produce, and in the friendly competition between neighbours, which has been a big incentive to advancements in farming over the years. People who work the land are rightly proud when they can boast of winning a blue ribbon or a trophy for the finest, biggest vegetables, the cleverest working dogs, the most wellbred livestock or the tastiest pies and preserves. It’s only natural to want to aspire to be the best, putting the skills which make a self-reliant and successful farmer to the test. Agricultural and Pastoral shows, springing from the old-world tradition of village fairs and

harvest festivals in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, were unsurprisingly some of the first yearly fixtures on the pioneering calendar. Carrying on all the fun of the fair, alongside competitions which showcase the many skills of our rural communities — that’s just what shows like the Courtenay A&P Show do best. This year will be no exception, as the organisers have worked hard to fill the day’s schedule with thrills, feats of skill and plenty of entertainment. You’ll find a parade of livestock in the judging ring, from poultry through to sheep and goats. Sheepdog trials will pit training and the bond of dog and master against the stubborn will of the flock. The equestrian ring will be centre stage for displays of riding and jumping. As well, under the banner of produce and home industries, there will be tables creaking under the weight of a mountain of fresh fruit, veggies and home-prepared delicacies. If all this makes you hungry, there will be plenty of other treats on offer to satisfy even the biggest appetite. It wouldn’t be a real family day out in the country without lots for the kids to enjoy as well — from fairground rides to music, entertainment and more. Adults can browse a range of stalls offering all manner of crafts and interesting products as well and the things to see and do — don’t stop there. The Courtenay A&P Show team have also called in a fleet of classic, vintage

and restored vehicles, ranging from the farming tools of yesteryear through to vintage cars in all their antique glory. It’s fun to think back to a time when the big steam engines and classic tractors now so lovingly restored for the sake of history were once displayed at earlier Courtenay shows as the cutting edge of farming technology. That’s the kind of change you’ll see in more than 143 years of show history! For nearly one and a half centuries, this big event just twenty minutes drive from Christchurch has been a family favourite, inviting people from all over Canterbury to come and enjoy a sunny day out amid the fields, celebrating

all that’s good about the country life. Come and take part in that tradition — pack up the car, bring the kids and make a day of it. More information on ticketing, parking and the full schedule of events at this iconic show is available at courtenayshow.org.nz. ¢

This year’s Courtenay A&P Show will feature all the classics of a Kiwi agricultural festival — timehonoured traditions, which celebrate the skill and dedication of animal breeders, crop growers, gardeners and craftspeople. Moreover, besides all of these sits a peculiar contest which can trace its roots back to this part of the world. Sheepdog trials seem to be an ageold part of the farming calendar — a logical sport to arise from an area where sprawling sheep stations and rugged terrain made working with horse and dog a mainstay of the rural life. The sport’s ancestry goes back only 150 years, give or take a year — and it’s Canterbury which lays claim to the first ever records of shepherd and dog working together for sport rather than out of necessity. There are those in the northern hemisphere who will tell you that the Welsh invented sheepdog trials and that the first organised event was in Bala, North Wales, in 1873. As far back as 1868, there are reports of friendly contests between skilled teams of dogs and masters held in Wanaka and Te Aka. Dig a little deeper, and a mythic component overlays the true story of proud sheep station men showing their dogs’ skill and obedience for bragging rights or a pint or two.

It’s almost certain that every sheep station worker in the south had heard of James ‘Jock’ MacKenzie by the mid1860s. Superhuman drover, cunning sheep rustler, and wily evader of the law that he was, one of his biggest claims to fame was the way his dog Friday could obey his commands to move sheep with almost supernatural finesse. Perhaps this amazing animal, now immortalised by a statue that’s a national icon, was

instrumental in showing the way toward just what a good team of dog and trainer could achieve. Certainly, through the years this part of the world has seen competitors both human and canine who is worthy of MacKenzie’s long-reaching legend. It’s certainly something to think about when watching the Courtenay A&P Show’s sheepdog trials this year — in the land which saw the beginning of this worldwide phenomenon. ¢

Birds pose fire risk

SAFETY FIRST

u by Mike Isle

It should come as no surprise to farmers that after the recent rain the rural fire risk is low. Nevertheless, risk there is, and as the district’s principal rural fire officer Bruce Janes explains it comes from a surprising quarter. Bruce Janes is relatively relaxed at the moment. At this time of the year, he can expect about six fire-related callouts a month. Later, it will get much heavier and far more serious as the heat and the winds set in. The problem is, the rain Selwyn is experiencing now may make this summer worse than ever. Bruce Janes says rain produces growth. Growth dries out and becomes flammable. “Combine that with the El Nino we are predicted to get this summer, and we could see some real drama later in the season,” he says. In his experience, Bruce says, farmers are fairly good at mitigating the fire risk on their property, and there are plenty of resources on the Fire and Emergency website to help them. Moreover, he has one startling revelation of a fire risk that farmers overlook or perhaps don’t even know about — birds. Bird nests in machinery such as tractors, quad bikes, even aircraft, pose a real threat he says. “Birds are a real shocker for nesting in and around engines. Also, maybe

ON THE FARM

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR WORK MATES

when the machinery hasn’t been used for a while, and the engine is started you have an instant fire.” Bruce Janes recommends farmers check and clear their machinery of nests regularly. The same goes for nests in and around farm buildings. “As harsh as it sounds, it is probably best to get rid of nests before they are finished.” Another risk for farmers is allowing grass to build up around buildings. Bruce Janes recommends cutting and cutting often. “In general terms, now is the time to have a clean-up around the property

to prevent problems later. Just stay aware that there is always a fire risk and there is quite a lot that we do on farms that can start a fire. Just staying aware of that, planning ahead, will be a great help.” Fire and Emergency NZ recommends farmers keep track of three websites. Their site fireandemergency.nz has a section focussed on farming, fireweather.niwa.co.nz has current weather forecasts and checkitsalright. nz has the current rural risk status. ¢

from the 115,000-hectare peninsula by 2050. “This is a significant step towards the vision of a pest-free Banks Peninsula and builds on decades of communitydriven ecological restoration work,” said conservation minister, Eugenie Sage. “There is a strong history of community and landholder conservation on the peninsula, and the pest-free vision has been developed by the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust in consultation with landowners and the community. “The growth of trapping groups on Banks Peninsula and among Port Hills and Lyttelton Harbour communities shows there is widespread community support for this venture.” Banks Peninsula, which includes Kaitorete Spit, has diverse landscapes and a rich array of native plants and animals. As a peninsula indented with deep bays, its geography ideally supports the staged control and removal of animal pests. Eugenie Sage said significant inroads had already been made on reducing possum and goat numbers in recent years and there were long-standing successful trapping programmes. “Projects like Wildside, where intensive

Scorch Broadband That’s the capital value, assessed by Quotable Value (QV) on behalf of the Selwyn District Council, used by the council to help calculate each year’s rates. The assessments will be in the post soon, with the council saying that most property owners will have received theirs by mid-November. The new rates, however, will not take effect before the year starting July 1 2019. The council said that the capital value of

the property reflected the likely selling price if the property was sold on July 1 2018. The average increase in capital value across Selwyn was 6.7 per cent. It means property owners whose property value increased more than the Selwyn average can expect a slightly higher than average rate increase in 2019. Property owners with less than the average value can expect a slightly lower than average rates change.

28+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE CONTRACTING INDUSTRY

For most residential properties in Selwyn, only a quarter of the rates bill is based on the QV capital assessment — the balance comes in the form of fixed amounts for services such as libraries. Property owners can object to the assessment — an objection must be lodged by December 20 2018. Information about how to do that is included in the revaluation notice. ¢
