The plaque, known as the Dead Man’s Penny, or Widow’s Penny was sent to the family of Private Robert Joseph Crossen, 1st Battalion, Canterbury Infantry Regiment, and received by his mother Ellen, in 1923. Robert was 27, unmarried, the sixth son of Thomas and Ellen Crossen. His is one of many bodies never recovered, commemorated on the Buttes Memorial at Polygon Wood in Belgium, along with 377 officers and men of the New Zealand Division who died in the area and who have no known grave. In New Zealand, Robert Crossen is remembered on the Rolleston Roll of Honour. “His mother, Ellen, received the plaque in 1923 and it is not clear what happened to it until newlywed Judy Challis moved into an old house in New Brighton in 1963 and found it wrapped in old newspaper in the hot water cupboard,” said Oxford RSA member Rhonda Graham-van Rooden. “Challis cherished the memorial plaque, carefully looking after it for 50 years until she saw a newspaper article about a similar plaque being reunited with lost family. She gave it to her sister, Angela Lyons, a member of the Oxford RSA. and I took up the challenge to reunite it with the Crossen family.” Rhonda carried out extensive research and publicity, and her efforts were featured in a recent edition of The Record and rewarded when retired army major, Ian Martyn, of Medals Reunited NZ, became aware of the story.

Representing Canterbury at Ki-o-Rahi

Commissioner to probe water application

u by Ann van Engelen

Public concerns over a new consent application to take water from an additional bore by Cloud Ocean Water, Environment Canterbury’s Regulation Hearing Committee has appointed independent commissioner Richard Fowler QC, to determine the application under the Resource Management Act 1991.

Students from Lincoln High School and Linwood College will be representing their individual schools, and the Canterbury region, in the upcoming New Zealand Secondary School’s Ki-o-Rahi Competition in Hastings.

p Students in the Lincoln High School Ki-o-Rahi teams with teacher Tihirangi Brightwell

“Ki-o-Rahi is a traditional Maori ball game, where put really simply, one team tries to reach a barrel in the centre of a circular field, and the other defends it. There is a lot of skill involved, and we are proud that both schools have reached national level in the sport,” says Lincoln High School teacher, Tihirangi Brightwell. The schools competed against nine other regional teams to gain their places. “I introduced the sport to Lincoln High School a couple of years ago and competing at the nationals early next year will be a new experience for all of us. Our teams have worked hard to gain their spot, and the students take the sport very seriously. They are as committed as others are to touch, netball and basketball.

“We are not surprised our pupils are able to compete at such a high level. The game is a part of our year nine health and education curriculum, and one particular year group have been participating on a regional level for the last three years. “It is special that they will get to represent their school in the sport they love before they leave school — they won’t just represent Lincoln, but they will be representing Canterbury, and that is something to be proud of. “We are looking forward to the event knowing some opponents have been playing at the nationals since it first started, and we want to attend believing in ourselves with confidence and do our region proud.” ¢

Picture Framing

Cloud Ocean’s current application is subject to a judicial review proceeding currently before the court. The applicant obtained an existing water take through the purchase of the old Kaputone wool scour property. The consent application does not change the volume, rate or timing of the current take. The new application is to take some of this allocation from a different bore. Water bottling as a public concern led to calls for Environment Canterbury to stop the activity — in particular, the Cloud Ocean plant. Environment Canterbury chief operations officer, Nadeine Dommisse, said earlier they were aware of the Christchurch City Council’s concerns around the potential effects of the new proposal. “We are also aware of the broader community’s concerns regarding water bottling in general and that the legal framework that we and all other councils must follow under the RMA can appear complicated. “We take consenting processes for these matters very seriously, and we will be ensuring there is a robust and stringent process in place for Cloud Ocean Water, as for any other consent applicant,” she said.

p Nadeine Dommisse, Environment Canterbury chief operations officer

“When we receive an application, the first step is for us to assess the sufficiency of the information that has been provided before it can be formally accepted. We then must consider the application against the statutory tests in the RMA, including assessing the significance of the environmental effects.” The Christchurch City Council’s evidence regarding any potential impact on the aquifers and future drinking water supplies will be thoroughly reviewed as part of this process. ¢

Aunties’ Christmas campaign

Tractor safety

u by Mike Isle

WorkSafe is warning farmers that they are legally required to have an effective way of identifying and managing the risks involving the use and maintenance of vehicles used on their farms. This warning follows the sentencing last month of a Wellsford farmer after a worker on his farm was killed in a tractor incident in 2016. The worker was driving a tractor and towing a trailer carrying two bails of baleage when he lost traction on a slope. The tractor and trailer jack-knifed, resulting in the tractor rolling and fatally injuring the driver. WorkSafe’s head of specialist interventions, Simon Humphries, said the case highlighted the need for farmers to have a health and safety system on the farm. “It’s not about adding paperwork or having more work to do,” he said. “It’s about incorporating what you do every day and ensuring that everyone can head home at the end of the day healthy and safe.” Unfortunately, not everybody has managed to do that. WorkSafe reports that on average six to seven farmers are killed every year when using farm tractors. There have been 30 tractorrelated deaths in the last six years. Many hundreds more have been seriously injured. The majority of injuries involving

tractors are caused by the tractors rolling over or people getting tangled in implements and machinery. WorkSafe points out that there are heavy penalties for failure to follow safety regulations — in the Wellsford case, the farmer was fined $75,000 and ordered to pay $130,000 in reparation. However, prevention and the adoption of accepted good practice are obviously preferable, WorkSafe said. WorkSafe offers a comprehensive guide to tractor safety on their website. Amongst the we b s i t e recommendations are thorough training for all tractor drivers, supervision of inexperienced drivers, not carrying passengers on tractors and always wearing a seatbelt if the tractor has a roll-over protective structure (ROPS). The guide also covers accepted good practice on and around farm machinery, the law as it to relates health and safety, and health and safety requirements including farmer’s responsibilities. The website address is saferfarms.org.nz. ¢

THE RECORD November 21 - 2018

Breaking athletics records

Selwyn Athletics club member eleven-year-old Jody McCarthyDempsey has broken the high jump best performance record that was last set in 1985.

A former Lincoln High School student with a passion for travel is living the dream and already flying high as a travel consultant.

p Jody McCarthy-Dempsey has set a new high jump record with a jump of 1.48m

p Maria Hiini — living the dream

Like many young people, Maria Hiini saw a career path in travel not as a journey but a destination. However, to arrive at that destination requires careful planning and, for Hiini, again like many young people, it was first a question of where to start. Hiini turned to the Ara Institute of Canterbury. She studied the New Zealand Certificate in Travel at Ara, and this helped her define and get her dream job. “It opened my eyes to all of the possibilities and opportunities out there. I went into the course thinking I was going to be a flight attendant, but after a couple of months I decided I actually wanted to be a travel consultant,” she said. Hiini said a major advantage of the programme was in facilitating industry connections. Visits by travel industry representatives were a highlight. “We were constantly meeting and hearing from people working in the industry, and that kept us inspired to work hard and finish the qualification to the best of our ability.” Every year, Ara students host a Travel and Tourism Breakfast and Expo, and it was at one of these that Hiini met her new boss. Hiini was snapped up by Orbit World Travel in Christchurch, whose manager

Melanie Veal is also an Ara graduate. “I always attend the travel expo. We’ve got a long and successful history of Ara graduates joining our business — Ara is really a great source of superbly trained travel professionals,” Veal said. “Orbit is one of New Zealand’s largest travel management companies. We are also the corporate arm of the House of Travel Group so we can offer leisure opportunities too. We often find our people transitioning between the two sectors and getting that broad range of experience before specialising in an area they love.” Hiini started in a reception role but soon became a short-haul leisure consultant. “It gave me good exposure to the leisure market, which was exactly where I wanted to be at that time. I learned a lot about products, destinations, systems and how to communicate with people from a leisure perspective. It was a great learning curve for me.” A transfer to the Orbit’s corporate short-haul team was another positive move. “I really enjoy the job, my clients and my colleagues — the working environment, makes it so enjoyable.” Hiini has set her hopes on becoming an Orbit top 20 short-haul consultant, and eventually a team leader. ¢

The youngster cleared 1.48m at the athletics Canterbury interclub meet at the new track, Nga Puna Wai, to break the U11 girls’ record held by K Nelson of 1.47m and set 33 years ago. “The win means Jody now has her name in the junior record book three times, still owning the U7 discus record of 16.74m and the U8 shotput record of 7.70m,” says club president, Gail Krsinic. “We have some excellent young high achievers at the club. As well as Jody holding her three Canterbury records, Maia Broughton holds five Canterbury records in the girls U13, U14, U16 and U17 100m and 200m

sprint titles and Neihanna Mata’afa until very recently held two Canterbury records in the boys’ U8 shot-put with 9.50m and U9 shot-put with 11.12m. “The Selwyn club is well supported by the council, the reserve committee and local businesses. We have 200 club members, of which 85 compete in interclub on a Saturday, and all of our athletes strive to do their very best every week. “We are very community-based and have the interclub night as well as a club night for those wanting to be involved in extra training. “We are very proud of our athletes and the accomplishments we are seeing across the board.” ¢

Reminder to check Takata airbags Consumer Affairs minister Hon Kris Faafoi is urging New Zealanders to check if their vehicle has Takata Alpha-type airbags, which are being recalled. The compulsory recall came into effect in April this year and data to the end of October shows there are still around 35,000 affected vehicles in New Zealand that are yet to be repaired, although almost 60 per cent have been repaired. “We know many will be planning their summer trips now. In New Zealand, we have higher crash rates than we have seen before so it’s more important than ever that all vehicles have safe airbags. “Consumers can check whether their vehicle has been affected by visiting rightcar.govt.nz and keying in their registration number. RightCar tells consumers if their vehicle has an Alphatype airbag that needs replacing and exactly what to do if that is the case. “If a vehicle is affected, consumers will get their Alpha airbags replaced at no cost, no matter if the vehicle was purchased privately, through a dealer, new or second-hand. “I urge anyone who has received a letter from their car’s distributor to act on it immediately and get their airbags replaced. “Overseas there have been 23 known fatal cases of airbags exploding

and sending fragments into the vehicle. While the risk of that happening in New Zealand is low due to less humidity in the air, which the airbags are more susceptible to, we need consumers to get on board to bring risk levels down and keep our people safe. “I’d also like to acknowledge the ongoing work of the motor vehicle industry who remain committed to ensuring all Alpha airbags are replaced by December 2019 and whilst I’m pleased with progress to date, we can’t afford to become complacent.” ¢

Te Waihora planting

Small but upmarket

u by Mike Isle

With drills and hammers in hand, students at Ara Institute of Canterbury have spent the last 10 months constructing two brand new tiny houses, which will soon be up for sale.

The Selwyn District Council has welcomed an announcement by the Minister of Conservation, Hon Eugenie Sage, that 68,000 native trees will be planted around Te Waihora shoreline.

The project will create 34 hectares of new kahikatea swamp forest as part of the government’s One Billion Trees programme. Co-Chair s Steve Lowndes (Environment Canterbury) and Lisa Tumahai (Ngai Tahu) of the governing group, Te Waihora, which includes the Selwyn District Council, said the new kahikatea forest will offer great conservation and cultural value, and add to the variety of native planting projects that had been happening around the lake for many years. “The lake shoreline was once covered with native forest,” they said. “This project will create a habitat for

native birds and fish and improve the health of the wetland ecosystem by helping to prevent nutrients flowing into the lake. “It will enhance the work iwi and many others are doing to protect and restore the cultural and ecological values of the lake and its margins.” The Department of Conservation recently accepted an invitation to join the Te Waihora Co-Governance Group. Also working on this planting project will be Environment Canterbury and Selwyn District Council, as well as Living Water (a DOC/Fonterra partnership), Te Ara Kakariki and Waihora Ellesmere Trust. ¢

The Rolleston Kids’ Christmas Market is back, giving 8 to 13-year-olds the chance to earn extra money in time for Christmas. The hugely-popular Selwyn District Council event will this year be held at the Rolleston Community Centre on Saturday, November 28 starting at 10am. It is the second year the council has hosted the market where kids purchase a stall for just $5 and sell their unwanted treasures to earn extra pocket money. The market is open from 10am until noon. Organiser, Rolleston Community Centre manager, Martine Hearfield, says that if last year’s market is anything to go by there will be some great bargains to be had. She says the market was based on the highly-successful Lincoln Kids’ Fest. “I wanted something for Rolleston kids, something kid-centric; a market that is by them and for them. “This market provides the opportunity for children to learn about buying and selling, upcycling and getting some pocket money for Christmas and the school holidays.” Martine Hearfield said that last year

there were more than 30 stalls operating. “We do still have a few stalls left this year, they can be booked through Eventbrite for $5,” she said. Stallholders must be accompanied by a caregiver, and no food or drinks can be sold. For further information, phone 03 347 2882. ¢

Spotlight on Rolleston

Signpost to a bright future u by Andy Bryenton

In the 1970s, when Christchurch was straining at the margins of its city limits, the then prime minister Norman Kirk envisioned Rolleston as a planned satellite community, a great second city of the plains which would be developed using logic, top infrastructure and limitless optimism. The project was quietly tucked away when he left office, leaving just a bold sign by the roadside — ‘Rolleston - The Town of the Future’. Some people had a little chuckle at this sleepy railroad town with its pine plantations and small population dreaming big. Eventually, the sign was taken down. It turns out that it was exactly right. That billboard may have been ahead of its time, but like many of history’s prophetic statements, it has come true in an undeniable fashion. Those who made fun back in the 70s would marvel at the growth and expansion of Rolleston today — a town with new commerce, new schools, new sports grounds, all in the past decade. It’s a fitting tribute to the man which this Canterbury town is named for — a figure who lived a life of contradictions but was determined to better the lot of his fellow citizens. William Rolleston was born in 1831 in England, the son of a very conservative reverend. He was an academic young man who nevertheless felt overshadowed by his brother, who grew up to be a famous zoologist and physician. Early on he confessed to his father that he wanted to emigrate to New Zealand and make a new life for himself — this was a land where a sharp-minded man could seek his fortune. Nevertheless, the reverend forbade it. William seemed to meekly accept his job as a tutor and teacher — but it was all to save funds for the voyage to Canterbury, in his words a rejection

p Rolleston lies at the heart of the plains and is living up to its old title of the ‘town of the future’

of ‘conservatives and ecclesiastics’. Any child with an overbearing father knows exactly what he meant. Rolleston went on to become a minister of parliament, and eventually a leader of the opposition. His anti-traditionalist and forward-thinking ways never faded — in fact, he was a champion of women being allowed to vote and participate in the democratic process, at a time when

many men of his social stature were ardent conservatives. The town bearing his name continues to grow, offering new opportunities and silencing once and for all those who doubted that this would be the place where the future unfolded. ¢

Students show how it’s done Blades shearers excel u by Mike Isle

A group of Rolleston Christian School students with enquiring minds and a thirst to find answers has come up with innovative ways to improve Selwyn’s water quality. Kirsten Jones, Hannah Muchena, Thomas Steven and Mikayla Erskine presented their projectbased findings on water management at the Selwyn Waihora Zone Youth Committee Event earlier this month earning the praise of scientists and water management experts. The group started the project by investigating what was currently being done to improve water quality and management. They then considered alternatives and came up with an eclectic mix of solutions and projects, including beeswax wraps to help lessen plastic wraps polluting waterways, riparian planting to help combat sediment, nitrogen and phosphorous run-off, and hydroponics as a way of growing food with less p Enquiring minds (from left): Kirsten Jones, Hannah Muchena, Thomas Steven and Mikayla Erskine water wastage.

SAFETY FIRST

Vet’s life-saving treatment When Edward Harrington noticed that his huntaway dog, Trev, had a distended stomach and was very unwell, he rushed him to the vet. Having seen a dog before with bloat, he knew that quick treatment was required. Trev could only just walk; he had a very tight abdomen, was in a lot of pain and had started to go into shock. His heart was racing, his extremities were starting to get cold, and he was having some difficulty breathing. The team of three nurses and two vets at Vetent Darfield quickly got to work starting rapid IV fluid support, giving strong pain relief and decompressing the stomach, which was filled with putridsmelling gas. We were not sure how much of his stomach would be irreversibly damaged, so we worked fast to restore circulation to his stomach wall. Trev became a bit more comfortable and we took him to surgery hoping that we were not too late to save his stomach which had twisted almost 360 degrees and about a quarter of the stomach wall was severely damaged. His spleen needed to be removed, and we resected one-quarter of the stomach wall. His stomach was stitched to the abdominal wall to prevent the same thing happening again. During the next three days, Trev remained on fluids and other medication to protect his stomach wall, and his food was slowly introduced. It was a nervous wait to determine if his stomach would heal ok and that no complications would develop. During the next two weeks, Trev started gaining weight and returning to his old self. Two months later he is back working and maintaining his weight with a slightly smaller stomach. Huntaway dogs like Trev are particularly susceptible to gastric dilation and torsion. They are deep chested but quite narrow in the body, and this makes them much more vulnerable to this disease. Eating a larger meal especially one that includes bones

seems to trigger this, and it can affect up to one in five larger huntaway dogs. A procedure called gastropexy can be performed to stitch the stomach permanently to the abdominal wall to prevent it from twisting and thus the disease from occurring. This procedure is a relatively simple surgery and can prevent dogs like Trev from this type of emergency.

A real kiwi summer breeze u by Andy Bryenton

Can you imagine being told that the waiting list to get behind the wheel of your new car was three years long? Coveting, desiring and saving pennies for that beautiful new machine — because it was worth it? Welcome to New Zealand in the days before auto imports filled whole wharves and warehouses. Welcome, in fact to 1951, and the dawn of the Ford Zephyr. People really did wait years to own one, and drivers sat proudly behind the wheel. In ‘51 England was ‘mother’, world war two was in the recent past, and the future came in the form of a sculpted, curvaceous new look from Ford. The Zephyr was from Dagenham, Britain, not Detroit, and it was perhaps more restrained in its design than the chrome-trimmed leviathans of the highway, which were being born on the drawing boards of men like Harley Earl. Assembled here from kitsets, the Zephyr would go on to four distinctive generations, becoming a Kiwi icon like few other cars before or after. From the Mk1 with its 68-horsepower and classic lines, through to the fins and wide, grinning grille of the Mk3, Zephyrs — and their upscale cousins, the Ford Zodiac range — are well-known to all motorists of a certain age. Maybe dad or grandad owned one. Perhaps this was the car where you first tried to reach the pedals, attempted to pass that driver’s licence test or drove out on a first date? No matter how this iconic marque made an impression, the

sight of a classic Zephyr always gets people talking. Just ask John Winchester — a man who owns eight Zephyrs and Zodiacs, and who credits the ‘Z’ lineage for fostering a lifelong love of Fords. A particular favourite is his 1959 ‘facelift’ model, which languished in an Aussie garage for 23 long years before coming home to his collection! This weekend, many of John’s Ford fleet will be out in the sunshine at

the Selwyn Motorfest — an event he helped establish, and one which helps spread the joy of classic motor cars while raising money for a good cause. If you’ve had a memorable Zephyr in your life — or a Velox, Morris Minor, Valiant Ranger, Falcon, Commodore or any other iconic motoring brand, come and enjoy the show. You’ll find that memory lane is best experienced over the dashboard of a classic! ¢

Electric vehicle expo u by Mike Isle

Next Saturday, Wigram will be a wonderland for everyone contemplating buying an e-vehicle when the EV World South Expo comes to town. The two-day expo, with a trade day on Friday and an open day on Saturday at the Wigram Airforce Museum, will showcase electric vehicles, e-bikes, electric mowers and charging solutions. Organisers say EV World South is an opportunity for South Island business owners and the public to come face to face with all forms of electric vehicles. Many of the vehicles will be available for a test drive on the Saturday. A likely showpiece of the expo is a Nissan Leaf, which has been cut away to reveal the inner workings of an electric vehicle. Dubbed XRAY, the vehicle is the brainchild of Ran Boot who, with his son David Boot, owns p XRAY, on show at the EV World South Expo Christchurch’s electric vehicle makeup of an electric vehicle and specialist store EV City.
