An enduring legacy
What’s in a name? Well, Ford will be quick to tell you …
This year marks the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand. On this day (September 19) in 1893, the Electoral Act was passed, giving all women in New Zealand the right to vote. As a result of this landmark legislation, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections. Key to getting the necessary legislation through parliament was the then Selwyn MP Sir John Hall from Terrace Station near Hororata, who worked with suffragist leader Kate Sheppard to ensure women’s right to vote was enshrined in statute. On Saturday his role was celebrated during a Victorian-themed Lincoln Farmers and Craft Market, which was held to mark the 125th anniversary of New Zealand women getting the vote. A street theatre performance featuring actors portraying the key figures of the era, like Sir John, was put on by the Centrestage Rolleston theatre group. Among the crowd watching was Sir John’s great-granddaughter Kate Foster who, along with her husband Richard, is a joint custodian of the historic Terrace Station homestead. A number of Sir John’s descendants watched the performance at its two showings, with a great-grandson, five great-granddaughters and one granddaughter in attendance. Kate Foster said the casting of Glen Clark as Sir John was brilliant.
p Hororata’s Kate Foster meets with actor Glen Clark who portrayed her great-grandfather Sir John Hall in a street theatre performance, which marked the Selwyn man’s role in helping women to get the vote in New Zealand
“All the family thought he was so much like Sir John and he looked the part. There was some great interaction with the crowd.” She said the family were delighted their great-grandfather was remembered in this way. “Over the years his role in bringing women the vote in New Zealand has
been forgotten, even though, in my opinion, he was just as important as Kate Sheppard, with whom Sir John worked closely.” Kate Foster said Sir John wasn’t just about the enfranchisement of women — but he wanted equality for all people, not just women. continued on page 7 …

Boost for Selwyn youth There’s a new youth event coming to Selwyn in the October school holidays.
p Selwyn Youth Council chair Paige Sullivan says BOOST events are aimed at young people between 13 and 18 years old
Local youth, from 13 to 18 years old, are being invited to join the Selwyn Youth Council with support from the Selwyn District Council in a fun, action-packed week of BOOST events. Selwyn Youth Council chair, Paige Sullivan, said the creation of the new youth event is in response to feedback about a lack of things to do in Selwyn for teenagers, particularly during the school holidays. “We looked at the huge success of KidsFest, an event aimed at children under the age of 13 during the July school holidays, and thought we should be doing something like that for teenagers in our district,” she said. “BOOST isn’t just a way to fill in your holiday. It’s a chance to meet people, try something completely new, or just relax and have fun, all without leaving our amazing district.”
BOOST 2018 is taking place during the October school holidays and will feature a broad range of events, activities and workshops. Some of the events include graffiti art workshops, parkour training, 3x3 basketball competitions, yoga sessions, circo arts and a hiphop workshop. There are also five key events on offer: BOOST Speak — a TED talk-style evening with three inspiring speakers, BOOST Spook — a horror walk in Foster Park, BOOST Market — a youth market in the Rolleston Community Centre, BOOST Splash — a pool party at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre and BOOST Out — the grand finale featuring food trucks, a skate jam, graffiti art and live performances.

CultureFest 2018 will be held at the Lincoln Domain on Sunday, September 30, from 11am to 4pm, and residents are being invited to join the Selwyn District Council and the Christchurch Multicultural Council to celebrate Selwyn’s growing diversity. Council’s senior events and recreation adviser, Dave Tippett, said the event is now in its third year and is growing each year, with groups from all around the world showcasing their culture, through art, performance, sport and food. “CultureFest is one of the key actions council and partners are undertaking as part of the recently launched 2018 Welcoming Plan,” Mr Tippet said. “The Welcoming Plan provides a focus for how we as a district can include newcomers in community life in Selwyn. “We recognise our district’s growing diversity and celebrate this with CultureFest. It’s also a great way to learn more about the people in your neighbourhood, and we encourage everyone to come down and attend this free event.” Visitors can sit back, relax

It’s not just the visual aspect of Selwyn’s cultural diversity, which will be on show at CultureFest with more than 15 different culinary delights including Indian, Spanish, Bulgarian, Nigerian, Malaysian, Moroccan, Jordanian, Iranian, Russian and Ukrainian cuisine available for tasting. “For the first time ever, there will be an Indian professional sport being demonstrated — Kabaddi,” Mr Tippett said. “If you haven’t seen or heard of it before, it can be best described as a cross between rugby and tag, but without a ball.” In addition to the sights, sounds and taste of Selwyn’s cultural diversity on show there will be plenty of other activities for people to sample, including arts and crafts, games and henna tattoos as well as some regular event favourites such as bouncy castles and Pedalmania. ¢

Taking up the challenge
Spring Fling on again u by Kent Caddick
The Lincoln and Districts Community Care’s annual Spring Fling Country Fete fundraiser is on again.
p Poor weather did little to dampen the enthusiasm of these West Melton School students who were taking part in the William Pike Challenge. The challenge, which is held every two years, encourages students to engage in outdoor activities. Recently 42 year seven and eight students from West Melton School travelled up to Mt Hutt as part of their five outdoor challenges. For many, it was their first time skiing, and the school’s promotions officer, Rita Spadoni, said all those taking part enjoyed their skiing lessons. “Our learners also showed determination and resilience, with the weather not dampening their enthusiasm for the snow.” p The award-winning Broadfield Garden will once again host Lincoln and Districts Community Care annual Spring Fling fundraiser

Greendots growing in Selwyn
5
u by Kent Caddick
Volunteers and landowners along with the Te Ara Kakariki Greenway Canterbury Trust have been busy planting out around Selwyn. The Te Ara Kakariki Greenway Canterbury Trust is an incorporated charitable trust with the mission to undertake environmental restoration projects in Selwyn. The latest undertaking saw more than 3,000 ecosourced seedlings planted, to help to enlarge three existing greendots and begin a new one. Greendots are areas planted in native plants which work as stepping stones for native birds and fauna to travel over the land. Te Ara Kakariki coordinator, Letitia Lum, said the morning sunshine and mild weather was appreciated by volunteers who worked at Nicki Shackleton’s Lincoln property. “Her greendot journey began last year with a group from Te Ara Kakariki planting 500 seedlings. She has continued planting during the year, and during this planting, over 1,100 more were planted at her site. “Nicki has named her greendot ‘Roosteration Forest’ and has encouraged planters to come back and see the results of their hard work. “Once her greendot is established she looks forward to visitors being able to walk through the forest and enjoy the peace and bird life.” Volunteers also descended on Grant and Stephanie
Sisson’s hillside property in Early Valley Road near Tai Tapu. Trees on their property were burned in the 2017 Port Hills fires, and they are working to replace them with natives and hope to encourage Kereru and Bellbirds back to the area. Rebecca Gardner of Oceanbridge Shipping was one of the volunteers. “We came out here to do a team bonding day — but also to give back to the community, and we had a great day. Getting out in the fresh air and contributing not only to society but also the environment and everyone’s future.” Finishing up in Springston for the day, volunteers planted another 480 plants at Brian Patchett’s organic greendot. “Instead of spraying in preparation for planting Brian had ploughed up the soil with a rotary hoe,” Ms Lum said. “Brian’s greendot is two years old, and this year he is doing a bit of experimentation with his new seedlings. “Brian is trialling a small batch of cardboard plant guards as an alternative to the plastic ones he has used in the past. He also had a few volunteers add mycorrhizal fungi to some specially marked plants; this should help them to absorb nutrients and result in increased growth.”

Artists have until this Friday to get their entries in for this year’s Darfield Artweek competition and exhibition.
p Governor’s Bay photographer Louise McHaffie took out the supreme award at the 2017 Darfield Artweek
Darfield Artweek is put on every year by the Malvern Community Arts Council (MCAC), which this year is celebrating its 40th birthday. This year artweek will run from October 5 to 14, with the main competition exhibition being held in the Darfield Recreation Centre, while MCAC’s Selwyn Gallery and the Selwyn Library in Darfield will also hold exhibitions to coincide with the weeklong event. Chair of MCAC’s artweek committee, Lorraine Natusch, said it had been a special year for the council with it marking its 40th year and celebrating
20 years of operating the Selwyn Gallery in Darfield. “We have had some very interesting new artists put forward their work for this year’s exhibition — which I am really excited about. With last year’s supreme award going to a photographer that seems to have encouraged other photographers to enter this year.” The winner of the supreme award will receive a prize of $2,000, while there are category prizes and merit awards. This year’s artweek judge is Terri Elder, who is the curator of the James Logie Memorial Collection at the University of Canterbury. ¢
Fruit trees for Selwyn schools u by Kent Caddick

p Fruit trees waiting to be delivered to Selwyn primary schools courtesy of the Lincoln Envirotown Trust
This year, the trust along with its partners, including the Outdoor Space landscape business, delivered 211 free fruit trees to schools in the district. The trust’s project manager, Dave Fitzjohn, said the number of trees delivered this year was slightly up on the previous year when just 190 trees were delivered to both new schools and schools, which have been a part of the project since its inception. “Around 25 schools in Selwyn have benefitted by being part of this project — which is now into its fourth year,” Mr Fitzjohn said. “Early in the fruit tree planting season, Aaron Bartlett and his team
from the Outdoor Space delivered and planted the fruit trees which were provided free to the primary schools courtesy of the Lincoln Envirotown Trust with the support of a number of Rolleston businesses. “Next year is the last year of the scheme, and hopefully schools will soon start enjoying the fruit.” Mr Fitzjohn said the project wouldn’t have been possible without the support of a number of local businesses, which, as well as Outdoor Space, included Independent Signs Ltd, Hawkins Engineering, Juice Electrical, Sicon Limited, Tufnell Drainage, Thai Terrace Restaurant and All About Sewage Ltd. ¢

Selwyn’s role in women’s vote marked
p Actors from the Centrestage Rolleston theatre group take part in a performance marking the role of Hororata’s Sir John Hall in the women’s suffrage movement in New Zealand
“He came from an English society where regardless of your own merits you needed patronage to progress. “When he first came to New Zealand he wanted to see equality for all men, not just landowners. “He was already talking about women getting the vote in the 1870s, but knew at that time it would be hard to achieve, so he first had to ensure all men got the right to vote.” She said Sir John’s involvement in the local community in Hororata was important to him and that carried over into the sort of social reforms he was interested in. “If you take that into the women’s suffrage petitions it is not surprising then that Hororata was the first rural community in New Zealand to sign the petitions. “He knew his local people, he knew his employees, and he and his wife Rose along with daughter Mildred went around the Hororata area in their horse and gig
collecting signatures for the petitions.” Sir John, who arrived in Lyttelton in July 1852, was a member of the Canterbury Provincial Council and first sat in New Zealand’s House of Representatives in 1856. He held cabinet rank several times and was premier from 1879 to 1882. He represented both Selwyn and Ellesmere in parliament and later became honorary mayor of Christchurch, for the New Zealand International Exhibition from November 1906 to April 1907. He passed away in June 1907, shortly after the international exhibition had finished and is buried in the St John’s Church graveyard in Hororata. One of his granddaughters, Mary Grigg, became an MP for the National Party in Mid Canterbury in 1942. In doing so she became the fourth woman to be elected to parliament in New Zealand, and the first woman not from the Labour Party.

The origins of Labour Day date back to the late 1800s, when workers fought for the right to an eight-hour working day, and the end result was a statutory public holiday. We celebrate this each year on the fourth Monday in October, making it a popular long weekend holiday before Christchurch Show weekend. What we do with this day varies depending on our interests. For some, it is an extra day to kick back with feet up, reading a book or perhaps taking the dog for a walk in the spring sunshine, a stroll along the beach or catch up with friends for lunch. Gardening enthusiasts are most likely to spend the weekend completing some tidying, ensuring the vegetable garden is planted out with fresh new seedlings or getting mulch on areas likely to dry out during the hot summer months. Sports fanatics will be outside too — cyclists fitting in a long ride, hikers heading for the mountain trails, tennis players hitting some balls back and forth, and keen sailors taking boats out on the harbour. Time spent with family is often a difficult thing to fit into our busy lives, so having an extra day may be an opportunity to arrange a picnic lunch out, to let the kids run and play while we catch up on the family news over a glass of vino. Of course, if the weather isn’t going to play ball, we may need to prepare

ADVERTORIAL
Ear disease in dogs by Dr Geoff Malcolm, Companion Animal Veterinarian
Almost every day we see dogs that have sore or painful ears. Owners would have noticed that their dog is rubbing its ears, shaking their heads or noticed discharge or smell around the ear canal. The ear canal is an extension of the skin, so when a dog suffers from allergic skin disease, the ear is often affected. In this area, though, there is more opportunity for infection from yeasts and bacteria. The ear canal is lined by small hairs called cilia that help push wax and secretions up and out of the ear canal. When the canal is infected, the canal cannot keep itself clean, and material builds up in the canal, and this makes the condition worse. The canal also becomes swollen, and the canal diameter is reduced. If the canal stays infected over a longer period, infection can spread into the middle ear, and this is a lot harder to treat. In the middle ear, there is no natural mechanism to allow drainage or clearing of the infection and these cases can be challenging to treat. The other common ear condition is caused by barley grass seed getting caught in the hairs of the ears and working their way down the canal. These are very irritating and cause intense discomfort and have to be removed with forceps. Treatment of ear infections involves relieving discomfort and swelling with

Lifestyle ‘n’ Farming
An enduring legacy u by Andy Bryenton
What’s in a name? Well, Ford will be quick to tell you that names like Mustang, Ranger, F150 and GT40 are worth more than some examples of the classic vehicles they’re imprinted on. However, it’s a chicken-and-egg consideration really. A machine attains classic status and earns a name worth stamping out in chrome by being excellent in its own right. Take Ford’s new Endura ST line SUV for example. It looks the part — robust and planted on the road, with that commanding grille height, subtle wheel arches slicked over big alloys, chunky faceted lights, and the kind of ‘bulldog’ stance which speaks of four-wheel drive tenacity and grip, even standing still outside a city cafe. Endura isn’t the name it’s known by in the rest of the world. There, as the Ford Edge, it’s picked up a host of accolades and continues to be popular with those who want a sports utility that’s more than compact but less than gigantic. Sadly, another brand owns the name ‘Edge’ in this market. So the whole package has been re-branded, with a title that rightly puts the concept of endurance to the fore. The ST Line makes no apologies about being the best version of the Endura out there — it’s the one which Ford has chosen to bring into New Zealand because they know that those in the market for a medium-to-large SUV often desire touring comfort and suite
of modern conveniences. Fittingly, only a creamy smooth twin-turbocharged two-litre diesel is on option under the hood, delivering quiet efficiency and a rather economical less than six litres to the 100km. Easy competency marks the transition from city pavements to less beaten trails, as a very clever torque-vectoring four-wheeldrive system engages in a civilised dialogue with the Endura’s transmission. That makes the Endura a great place to spend long hours on the road, and its ability to pack in a hefty amount of luggage or even tow some summer toys makes this a very family friendly option. We’re not mentioning the old Aussie-sourced Ford Territory, but this could be an accelerated evolution of that concept. To be even more appealing to adventurous families, technological safety measures such as lane departure

Unlocking the potential in property Resource Consents
warnings, blind spot warnings, driver alertness sensors and adaptive cruise control have been added to wrap all occupants in both comfort and security. Foreign markets have even seen a turboboosted V6 version of the Edge, so more Endura options may be on the way. For now, Ford has delivered a commanding niche-filler to fit between their Everest and Escape models. ¢

Entries wanted for farm environment awards u by Kent Caddick
Selwyn farmers and growers are being encouraged to enter the 2018–19 Ballance Farm Environment Awards. The awards are organised by the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust, a charity set up to promote sustainable farming and growing. The chair of the trust is Joanne van Polanen, who farms in Mid Canterbury. “There’s a lot of discussion about the need for the primary sector to tell

our stories, the awards provide an opportunity for farmers and growers to share the positive actions they are involved in with their local community and a wider audience.”Mrs van Polanen said. The trust’s national judging coordinator, Andrea Hanna, said all farmers and growers, including orchardists, vegetable growers and viticulturists are eligible to enter. “Each entrant is visited by a small group of rural professionals who identify opportunities to improve the financial and environmental sustainability of the farm business. It’s not just targeted at top farmers. The awards are an important opportunity to grow and learn from others.” Mrs Hanna said the judging teams have a wide range

of skills and look at all parts of the farming business. “Judging is conducted in a relaxed and friendly manner, and climatic factors are taken into account. “In the past, we’ve found farmers can be reluctant to enter if their farm has been affected by unseasonal weather or some other event. “But the judges understand that unexpected challenges are part of farming and will look beyond this at the wider picture.” Hanna says that many past entrants say their involvement has helped their
personal development because they get to meet and be inspired by a range of like-minded people. Entering the awards is free and takes two minutes by completing a simple form, available online at bfea.org.nz. People are able to nominate another farming or growing business they feel would benefit from involvement in the awards programme. Entries to the Ballance Farm Environment Awards close at the end of October. The entrants and award winners are showcased in regional functions held throughout the country in Autumn 2019. ¢

Contest to undergo major overhaul u by Kent Caddick
New Zealand’s longest-running agricultural contest, the FMG Young Farmer of the Year, is set to undergo a major overhaul. The revamp is designed to entice more women to enter the iconic contest and to help showcase the country’s food story. As part of the significant changes, the TeenAg competition will be rebranded the FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year. “We’ve just celebrated our 50th anniversary, which is an amazing achievement,” said Hinds dairy farmer and NZ Young Farmers Contest board member, Cole Groves. “However, if we don’t make some major changes now, this contest won’t be relevant in another 50 years.” The changes were outlined in a new strategy unveiled recently. Contest organisers say they are keen to tap into innovation and technology being used and developed by sponsors. Mr Groves said they would like to inject a bit of excitement and unpredictability into the contest through the use of innovation. Among the changes awards for the highest-scoring competitor in each of the five challenges, from agri-business to agri-skills, are being scrapped. “They’ll be replaced with new awards assessing contestants’ skills and

knowledge across innovation, food, people, environment and technology,” Groves said. “We’re hoping the changes encourage more women to give the contest a go, and we want to expand contestants’ knowledge beyond just fencing and identifying different types of fertiliser.” The two competitions designed to get school students excited about opportunities in the agri-food sector are also changing. The TeenAg competition will be renamed the FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year although competitors will still compete in teams of two. Mr Groves said the younger competitors idolise the FMG Young Farmer of the Year contestants. “Having AgriKidsNZ, the FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year and FMG Young Farmer of the Year all part of the same event will help lift the prestige of the students’ contests,” he said. The changes will start rolling out at regional finals across the country early next year with the 2019 FMG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final scheduled to be held in Hawke’s Bay in July. ¢
