New Zealand were early adopters of breast cancer dragon boat paddling — the country has the most teams per capita in the world. The second breast cancer survivor team to have started in New Zealand, Abreast of Life formed in September 1999 and Janice joined the team in 2000. Club captain Meri Gibson is the second-longest member. “Janice is a very integral team member being the sweep, keeping the boat heading in the right direction. I was thrilled to present this award to her along with my co-captain Gail Beedles,” says Meri. “The original team members regaled many stories of team antics and a current team member continued noting

the changes in uniform over the years and constant chatter and laughter filled the room. “Our coaches through the 20 years were recognised followed by a circle of life, where, in blocks of five years survivors join the group to form a final circle. Two people on the outside of the circle had been diagnosed more than 30 years ago.” The club also had a roll call of those angels who have passed. “Abreast of Life has lost 25 paddlers in its 20 years. We acknowledged those who have passed away and those who continue on this journey with a flower ceremony. “We consider passed paddlers as the angels on our shoulders that

paddle with us. It was a wonderful day of celebrations with a passion for dragon boating at the forefront of the day’s celebrations.” Meri was also captain of the NZ Black Dragons Senior B Women’s small boat squad that competed in Thailand recently. Janice and Rolleston resident ‘Gilly’ McGill, also represented New Zealand. Meri was recently named the associate vice president of the International Dragon Boat Federation. “IDBF is the body that looks after the whole of the sport on an international level. It is great to be at the council table and provide a strong voice for not only our members but the women athletes in general,” says Meri. 

“More than 3,500 people enjoyed the day out. Along with the biggest crowds yet, we saw the largest number of performers take to the stage from more than 16 countries,” says president of the Christchurch Multicultural Council and founder of CultureFest, Dr Surinder Tandon. “The stage performances were of high quality, and one of the highlights was the performance from the Maori kapa haka group from Aranui. They were absolutely beautiful with the traditional Maori songs and haka. That was great for our multicultural migrant communities, and we appreciated the opportunity to taste and experience Maori culture for ourselves. “The day was opened by a karakia followed by waiata. There were several food stalls that were kept busy, and everyone appreciated being able to taste foods from countries including Russia, Morocco, Egypt, Spain, Iran, Nigeria, Latin America, Thailand, Indonesia,

Aotearoa, Malaysia, Poland, India and the Philippines. Even though it was six months since the terror attacks, the campaign for uniting our city is even stronger and more unified than prior. “People wanted to participate in multicultural diversity with groups showcasing their culture and learning about other cultures educating themselves. “People showed how united and accepting our city is. “We held dance workshops from the Indian community so people could join in the dances and we saw a lot of young students organising and attending this year and participants were presented certificates of acknowledgement. “CultureFest was organised by the Selwyn District Council, Christchurch Multicultural Council, Rotary and Lincoln University Students’ Association and we are now preparing for next year’s event, and there are small community events coming up.” ¢

Government proposals short-sighted

Inaugural Selwyn Arts Festival

u by Amy Adams, MP for Selwyn

u by Mike Isle

Water is both a critical strategic asset and a source of recreation in New Zealand, and we all know it must be abundant, clean and healthy.

An extravaganza of art will be created and celebrated this month as part of the first-ever Selwyn Arts Festival.

While I agree that we must strive for improvement in the health of our waterways, the recent proposals from the government on freshwater are shortsighted, and destined to have perverse effects on our primary sector and wider economy. These wide-ranging proposals will limit the flexibility of New Zealand farmers to adjust to market conditions and change their land use. Fur thermore, the proposed regulations will add to the pressures on a sector that is already facing historically low levels of confidence. Despite the mounting pressures on our rural businesses, the government has failed to even analyse how much these regulations will cost farmers and the wider economy. The new proposals are provoking more uncertainty amongst the rural sector and many will be struggling to see a way forward.

When I was the Environment Minister in 2014 I announced the establishment of new National Standards for Freshwater. These standards were about government, local and regional councils and urban dwellers working alongside our primary sector to clean up our waterways. The previous government signed an accord with the dairy industry that has seen farmers fence off 98 percent of their waterways, and spend $1 billion in environmental improvements over the last five years. If you are interested to have your say or hear more about the implications of the government’s freshwater proposals, Todd Mueller, MP for the Bay of Plenty and Opposition Spokesperson for Agriculture, will be holding a meeting on this topic here in Selwyn on October 31st. The venue for the meeting is the Darfield High School Hall and the meeting starts at 7pm. No RSVP is required. ¢

October 12– 20

The festival, which runs from October 11 to 20, is a collaborative project by the Selwyn District Council, Selwyn Gallery, Lakeland Gallery and Down by The Liffey Gallery. It will feature demonstrations, workshops, a wearable arts show, live art competition and a guided gallery tour. District arts coordinator Becca Bouffandeau said the festival would give people a chance to see a different perspective on art in the district. “Selwyn has a lot of great art and artists, but often we don’t know them, they’re just a signature in the corner of a painting. The festival will give people a chance to get up close and personal, meet the artists and see them work, as well as enjoying their fantastic work and making something fun themselves.” Opportunities to see behind the p Self Portrait, Ki Hyun Kim, 2017 in oil scenes and meet the artists will begin with a wearable art show featuring of their own work of art, stopping at local and national talent on Saturday, Lakeland Art Gallery in Leeston where October 12 and through an Art Crawl portrait artist Sam Wakelin will draw visiting Selwyn’s three art galleries.

Remembering Pastor Peter Hira The Hira family and the local and wider communities across New Zealand, and the world, farewelled Pastor Peter Hira in late August. Treasured husband of the late Vera, Peter was born on November 16, 1944 and died on August 21 after a long illness. They had three children, Steve, Angie and Michelle. He was a grandfather, brother, kaumatua and pastor to many. “Granddad married my grandmother Vera, a women of Welsh origins, on October 28, 1967 — the day after her 21st birthday. He was a man of God whose legacy permeates the lives of countless people across the world,” said eldest grandson Caleb Griffioen. “He became a pastor after training with my grandmother’s dad — Pastor Thomas Thomas. Granddad was one of the native Te Reo speakers who had to learn English due to the law change and often talked about his stutter growing up, and how when he converted to Christianity it disappeared. “He was the first maori to be elected to the Assemblies of God executive board in the mid 1980’s and moved to Christchurch in 1988, operating their church out of the old Odeon picture theatre in Tuam Street. He became assistant superintendent of the AOG in 1992. Grandad was kaumatua for Tuhoe Ki Wai taha and was involved

in a diverse range of ministry across the community.” After the earthquakes Peter and Vera started the Aranui Foodbank which fed people across the city through their then church, Christchurch Worship Centre. This was acknowledged by the Governor General of New Zealand. “My grandparents were stabilising factors and known to respect all cultures, never excluding anyone for their beliefs. They saw many miracles through their faith and their legacy will continue for generations to come.” ¢

Wishing the Ellesmere A & P Association a Successful Show in 2019

From the President It is both an honour and a privilege to serve as president of the Ellesmere A&P Association for the 149th Annual Show. As a child, I grew up in the Ellesmere area, attending the Catholic Primary School and Ellesmere College in Leeston, before graduating with a degree in farm management and rural valuation from Lincoln University. On finishing Lincoln, I worked on a sheep and beef farm at Irwell for seven years, before a stint milking cows at Brookside for eight years and more recently a mixed cropping farm at Irwell. During this time I purchased blocks of land to form our existing farm, running a breeding/finishing ewe flock, bull beef and a small amount of mixed cropping, in conjunction with pasture renewal. I met my wife Gabby and got married in

2006, and we have two children, Angus (9) and Charlotte (7) who attend Leeston Primary School. After years of entering chooks and pet lambs in the show as a child, I took my turn parking cars for Sudeley Park, before trying my luck at dog trialling. I was asked to join the committee in 2002 and after roles on various subcommittees for sheep, traffic, farm, wood chopping, dog trials and marketing and promotions, gathering insight into how the show is run, before starting on the top table. As president I am extremely grateful for the effort and support I have received from the general committee, past presidents, volunteers, local businesses and sponsors, that help to make the Selwyn Spring Show the success it is today.

SELWYN 2019 SPRING SHOW

SATURDAY OCTOBER 19TH

Pop-up museum u by Mike Isle

A popular attraction at this year’s Ellesmere A&P Spring Show will undoubtedly be a new pop-up museum celebrating Selwyn’s history. The interactive and engaging museum will be at the Ellesmere Showgrounds on Saturday 19 October. The district’s museums, historic societies and heritage collection holders have come together with the Council to create the museum with a modern twist. “The museum will provide an interactive experience using historic films, online tools and displays to weave together tales of Selwyn’s heritage and enable visitors to journey through time and across the district,” said district ar ts coordinator Becca Boffandeau. “The museum is a great opportunity to enjoy and discover the things that have made the district what it is today. “It’s been a huge collaborative effort from many different groups to put together something informative and fun that really speaks to who we are as a district.” Homebush Stables will also hold an open day on Sunday 20 October 10am– 4pm as part of the Beca Christchurch Heritage Festival.

p Selwyn’s rich agricultural history will be a feature of the pop-up museum

The museum, historic buildings and gardens are on the historic family property of the Deans family, who were

the first European settlers on the Canterbury plains. Entry to Ellesmere Spring Fair Showgrounds: Adults $15,

A rich history on display u by Andy Bryenton

The Ellesmere A&P Association’s Spring Show has been a red-letter day for so long now that it’s an integral part of the region’s history. In an era when many events are proud to have been run annually since the turn of the century, this celebration of the best of Canterbury country life can trace its origins back to the Victorian era. That makes things interesting when it comes to seeing how times have changed, but it also raises the question of how much has stayed the same. Certainly, there has been a resurgent interest in the good old fashioned displays and competitions which make a Kiwi A&P show such a singular event. More and more, in this age of the tablet and the smartphone, there’s a novelty to seeing the wood chopping, sheep shearing, horse riding skills of the farm and field up close and personal. We challenge even the most video-game obsessed kids not to enjoy a day out among such traditional attractions. Even a look at the Society’s own past reveals that people may dress differently nowadays, and drive a 4x4 instead of a wagon but there are some things which will always make good entertainment. Putting together a huge show was the job of William Scott in 1919. As President of the Ellesmere A&P Society 100 years ago, his job was very similar

to that of the President for 2019. He may not have had the internet and his iPhone to help with the task, but his family and business colleagues were a ‘who’s who’ of the Selwyn region as New Zealand came out of the long and painful night of World War One and into peacetime. Perhaps the fact that he was organising the first such show since the

Armistice made him want to do an even better job. Then again, perhaps it was simply pride in his family’s farming past. William’s father was Samuel Scott, who came to New Zealand in 1840, then spent some time in the dangerous job as a gold escort in Australia, literally ‘riding shotgun’ on shipments of gold in an era of highwaymen and bandits.

THE RECORD OctOber 9 - 2019

SELWYN 2019 SPRING SHOW must have been a tough customer; not only did he take on this rugged work, he then came back to Lyttleton and opened not one but two hotels. He went on to purchase a farm named ‘Southdale’ in the Rakaia country, and fathered a staggering 24 children. William, one of this large family, learned farming at Southdale, but would turn his hand to mercantile pursuits. In 1894 William met another William (William Star Hill) and the pair went into business supplying any and all necessities for the farmer. Coal and timber, seeds and tools, even insurance services and Massey Harris farm equipment. As farming took off on the plains, the two Williams were in the right place at the right time. Also in the right place were their neighbours; The Southbridge Town Board, Ellesmere Domain Board and the North Rakaia River Board. William Scott must have been won over by their community focus, because he soon became heavily involved in many local groups, including the brass band, primary school, public library, and the Southbridge town board. In his spare time (it seems he packed a lot into each day), William was a keen sportsman. He was a notable angler, winning trophies for fishing. He played for the Little Rakaia cricket team as well as serving as team secretary. In the winter

codes, he enjoyed football, and was a committee member for the Southbridge club. All of these factors came into play when, 100 years ago, the ‘powers that be’ chose this farm-raised, commercially savvy and community minded country gentleman to put together a real barnstormer of a spring show. So, what did he deliver? Exactly the same kind of fare which will make this year’s 2019 show both familiar to those who love a traditional family day out, and different to so much else on offer out there. The sounds and sights of the highland pipers would have been poignant to those who had last heard their tones on the battlefields of France

in 1919. The new, cutting edge farm machinery on display in 1919 may very well be back for 2019 in the vintage section, lovingly restored. But the prize farm animals, the poultry and the pies, the craft ales and the woodsmen with their axes would have been much the same. The dog trials would be held in the same expectant silence with the same fierce pride. The shearers would have been just as skilled and quick. In short, if William Scott were to walk out of his photograph and onto the Spring showgrounds 100 years later, it’s a certainty that he’d approve of how those who followed have ‘taken the ball and run with it’. ¢

Wear a helmet. A helmet is a must while riding a quad bike around the farm.

An experiment in evolution u by Andy Bryenton

Ford have long had an association with creating compact and powerful cars. Just look at the forthcoming movie in which Henry Ford’s son matches wits with the formidable Enzo Ferrari, leading to the creation of a vehicle only 40 inches tall that wipes the Le Mans racetrack with Italian oil, thanks to a couple of Kiwis, naturally. In more recent years, the blue oval has enlisted some heavyweight help to keep its compact and sporty offerings right at the edge of the curve. From the famous little Cosworth — tuned hot hatches of the late 20th century, through to the recent Focus ST with its input from legendary auto maestro Ken Block, there’s been a willingness to experiment, to let some fresh air and a whiff of punk rock attitude into the design studio and factory. 2020 has proven no different. Let’s begin with the juicy numbers — 276 horsepower. That’s more than you’d get from a sporting Mercedes not so long ago, for the kind of money which billionaires find down the back of the couch. Now it’s crammed into the 2.3 litre engine of the most powerful Focus ever and it hasn’t stopped the Focus from being, well focussed. From the first run of these cars people have been impressed by how they handle and carving through the curves has not been neglected with the 2020 model. There’s

also a handy 420 Nm of torque so you can go deep into the corners and power out with a wave of g-force smashing you back into the racing seats like a polite but firm doorman. This is all fine and good, but purists will insist that the inspired insanity of the previous model carries over. It does, with little touches that mean Ford have consulted the tyre-smoke and burning octane brigade comprehensively. Such as a driving mode which can be selected ‘for race track use only’,

and continuously controlled damping which checks the car’s position every 2 milliseconds and adds a little nudge to keep holding down a razor sharp line. Sport mode can be engaged with a single button, and it’s right there on the steering wheel, tempting you to get a little bit crazy. That’s the ST spirit! From the looks outside to the cabin’s more subtle presentation, the new Focus ST has grown up a little. But make no mistake, it’s still up for some adventures. ¢

Vintage swap meet and display The road out to McLeans Island, Christchurch will be busy from October 11–13 with the running of the annual Vintage Car Club Swap Meet at the club’s facilities at Cutler Park, 661 McLeans Island Road. The event has been running for four decades for not only car enthusiasts, but for anyone who enjoys the search for a bargain in the garage sale and market-style atmosphere that has become the swap meet. Vintage enthusiasts will be able to hunt down those elusive parts to complete their masterpiece of restoration, while those who simply appreciate the timeless elegance of automotive artistry are in for a treat as well. In addition to the hundreds of selling sites, there are displays of vintage and classic vehicles and machinery to explore. With more than 100 years of the evolution of internal combustion on site there is a lot to learn, and plenty of nostalgia too. Some of these machines literally helped build the Canterbury region we know today, whether in construction, farming or commerce. Others are a snapshot of family life from another time, when the automobile was still a fresh idea and roads were often little more than a dirt track in the path of old wagon wheels. It’s fun for the whole family, and there’s plenty of food and drink to sustain a day’s exploration among the exhibits. The Steam Scene also operates right next door for the duration of the swap meet, bringing the golden era of the rails to life. The event is open from 8am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday and from 8.30am to 2pm on Sunday.
