“I introduced Oktoberfest on the mountain some 20 years ago to coincide with the official event held in Munich. I lived close to Munich and moved here in 1982 as a young ski instructor and have never regretted relocating,” says Porters Ski Area general manager Uli Disenbacher. “Saturday was a bluebird day and people relaxed, and the skiing was still good. We had wooden benches for seating, and it was a sunny, calm day.

When children start young, they pick up the skills easily and grow in confidence. It is another talent they can utilise later in life. For our students at Windwhistle School, it is socially important because we are a small school and they get to mingle with other children, and that helps when you live remotely. All the schools did well with Springfield School and Darfield High doing very well.” ¢

Illegal whitebait structures

E19/7511

An increase in complaints from members of the public has led Environment Canterbury to visit waterways this week to speak with whitebaiters and assess the scale of the issue. Environment Canterbury’s Zone Delivery Manager Paul Hulse said that new structures are being constructed all the time. “There are some quite significant structures in our waterways, installed in an attempt to reach whitebaiting nets further into the river. Some of them are nearly as substantial as a jetty or deck, while others are simply pellet rafts dug into the riverbank,” he said.

Pay attention!

“These structures are illegal because they have a serious environmental impact. Aside from breaching Department of Conservation rules prohibiting fishing from a fixed structure, and being a public safety risk, they change the hydraulics of the river and cause bank destabilisation, flood risk and sediment issues.” Paul Hulse said members of the public have an important role to play in protecting our natural resources. “We encourage anyone noticing these structures to call our 24-hour Environmental Incident Response Line on 0800 Pollute,” he said. ¢

Aquatic Centre extension on track Work begins this week on the extension to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre.

p Artist’s rendering of the extension’s new entrance

The council has appointed a contractor to carry out the extension and refurbishment of the existing pool. The new 10-lane, 25-metre pool will more than double the current lane capacity and accommodate increasing demand from Aquafitness, casual swimming, deep water and other activities. There will also be additional changing rooms, including five new family changing rooms, along with extra foyer and administration space and the option for a possible cafe in the future. The work will be completed in stages to minimise disruption to pool users. Traffic management will be in place along Broadlands Drive when required to allow truck access in and out of the site. Aquatic Centre manager James Richmond says the pool extension

will meet growing demand at the popular centre. “The aquatic centre is one of the most popular destinations in the district with people taking more than 300,000 swims here every year. We know the number one wish was for more lane space and extra learn to swim capacity, so we’re excited to be starting on that and looking forward to a fantastic pool at the end that will serve everyone in district.” The extension is expected to be completed and open to the public in late 2020. The total cost of the project will be $13.8 million. The Aquatic Centre opened in 2013 and was an immediate success. At that time, it had 1,400 pre-enrolments at its swim school. The centre cost $15 million to build. ¢

Brazil beckons Lincoln student u by Mike Isle

Phoebe Topp is counting down the days until she embarks on an educational trip to learn about farming in Brazil. The 21-year-old vice-chair of Lincoln Young Farmers has been awarded a sought-after Prime Minister’s Scholarship. She’s one of 65 students from Lincoln University given the scholarships to study in China, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and Brazil. The scholarships are designed to help improve understanding of the business practices and culture of New Zealand’s trading partners. “I’m really excited. About 15 of us are going to Brazil in November. We’ll get to attend lectures at several universities and visit different agribusinesses,” said Phoebe. “It’s going to be interesting comparing Brazil’s farming systems with what I’m familiar with in New Zealand.” Brazil has the world’s biggest commercial cattle and beef herd and is the largest cattle meat exporter, according to Trade and Enterprise NZ. It is also the world’s top producer of coffee and sugar cane. Phoebe grew up on a sheep and beef farm just out of Martinborough and has experience working on largescale operations. During the past summer, she spent 11 weeks on Siberia Station near

Hunterville as part of a practical work placement at university. The farm has 19,000 breeding ewes and just under 2,000 cattle. Phoebe’s already secured employment at West Wanaka Station when she returns from Brazil. The station runs 14,000 breeding ewes, 2,000 deer and 1,500 cattle. Phoebe’s goal is to gain experience on-farm, before branching out in the agribusiness sector. ¢

A touch of magic has descended on McHughs Forest, the 43-hectare recreational reserve on the edge of Darfield.

Multiples Canterbury is an organisation run by parents of twins, triplets or more, of all ages, offering advice, encouragement, support, information and social activities for parents, grandparents and caregivers of multiple birth families.

Blown-in by the nor-west wind, a magical community, has moved into the forest just in time for the school holidays. From Friday, September 27, families can to step into the forest and explore the enchanted world with 20 magic doors hidden in the forest for children to find. There is even whispered to be a dragon to find. The Selwyn District Council has worked with the Darfield Menz Shed, which has generously put in many hours of effort to build and decorate the doors, community services staff member Kelsey Waghorn said. “The idea for the doors had been used internationally and in other Canterbury districts, but with the creative genius of the men at Menz Shed it has been adapted to something special for Selwyn. “It is a simple way to light up the holidays for parents and children, and it’s already been bringing a lot of fun,” Mrs Waghorn said. To help the magical creatures feel welcome and stay, Mrs Waghorn said it is important that visitors respect their space and take only photographs and leave only footprints. For those who do take photographs, Darfield Library

Poor weather turned up to dampen play in this year’s Koru Games, but the games themselves were once again a rollicking success.

Representing New Zealand on the barbershop world stage, the Christchurch City Chorus placed seventh in the world on Sunday at the Sweet Adelines International Chorus finals in New Orleans.

Now in its fourth year, the Koru Games had grown from a five-sport event with 1,000 competitors to an 11-sport event with more than 2,100 kids involved. Selwyn Sports Trust executive officer Michael Wilson said the success of the games was a fitting reward for the hard work that was put into organising them. “We had a fantastic three days; it was so pleasing seeing so many different coloured school uniforms all interacting across the four hubs. The huge number of individuals all developing their individual skills while representing their schools is so rewarding.” Michael Wilson said the Koru Games was set up to provide South Island year seven and eight students p St Thomas gets into the spirit of the games with an accessible opportunity to develop their individual skill sets through competitions and playing within the spirit of the games will be an playing team sport for their school. “We love how team sport has expectation for all,” he said. impacted our lives, which has motivated Selwyn teams performed well in the us to create a multi-day, multi-sport competition with Lincoln taking first tournament for year seven and eight place in girls’ badminton and mixed children at South Island schools. lawn bowls.

With members from across the Selwyn and Christchurch districts, the placing saw the 130-strong womens’ a cappella singing group, who are the eleven-times New Zealand barbershop champions, again make the top-10 in international competition. There were 33 other international choruses in the semi-finals and nine other choruses in the finals. “Reaching the finals was the pinnacle of three solid years of learning and performing. We are thrilled to be experiencing the prestige of competing for New Zealand on the international stage, and we were very excited to get into the top 10 and wow the judges and the audience with our songs,” said Chorus director Virginia Humphrey-Taylor.

In 2016 the Christchurch City Chorus placed fifth in the world and was voted Most Entertaining Chorus. “Our members live all over Christchurch, including local members from Rolleston and Darfield, and some travel from around the country to sing with us. The Sweet Adelines competitions are always tough — as all contestants aim for the top 10. We feel so blessed that we could focus and stay on top of the game and make it again. “We wrapped the final package in New Zealand style as we added the famous Poi-e song and we received a standing ovation. “I am already planning for the next competition — it will be exciting and entertaining.” ¢

Toward being predator-free Charity begins at home u by Ann van Engelen

Kelvin Sewell and Nicci Dillon from Predator Free Kirwee have secured funding through the Selwyn District Council for the supply of rat traps to help the district become predator-free.

Twenty teams of local golfers came together at the Hororata Golf Club last Friday for the Property Brokers fundraising tournament for St John Ambulance.

p The 9 hole team winners Amy Jones, Fliss Cox, Amy Truscott and Lauren McIlroy

p Kelvin Sewell with the traps he makes for the Predator Free programme

“The traps are actually dual purpose as you can catch a weasel by adding a hen’s egg or mustelid bait,” says Nicci. “Kelvin started out as Kirwee Trappers and worked alongside the late Sharon Kellock with the vision to eliminate rats, stoats and weasels from the district. He makes the traps himself and distributes them around the community. We have been working with the Selwyn District Council and the Sustainable Natural Environment Fund to help with the costs of these. “At present, our focus is Kirwee township and surrounds, and we hope others will take up the lead for other areas. People across the district can borrow the traps to join forces. There is so much fantastic momentum going on through little groups across the country. “Kelvin has a knack at catching weasels and caught three locally in the last week. It takes a lot of perseverance as the pests cover a huge area. The traps need to be placed where rats, weasels and stoats move by such as

near rabbit trails and pukeko nests. You do not always see them on a regular basis, but they are there. “Weasels are quite common in rural farmland as they raid birds’ nests and eat both the young and the eggs. They also carry Bovine TB, which is a major threat to our agricultural industry. They have been known to land on the back of a bird and go for a quick flight before killing the bird as prey.” People who borrow the traps report their catches for the Predator Free 2050 NZ database. “We had a trade site at the Courtenay Show last year and will have another this year, with information and traps available. Predator Free NZ is about improving the natural biodiversity of the area according to the Selwyn District Council plan and focusses on enhancing the natural biodiversity and encouraging native plants and birds back to our region.” For more information go to the Predator Free Kirwee Facebook page. ¢

“Ann Shepherd, Malvern St John area committee chair came into my office one day to ask to put a flyer up for volunteers. Knowing how hard she works, I wanted to support her directly yet indirectly, and that was the beginning of our mission,” says organiser Jannetta Thomas. “I went to St John last year to see if I could do a charity event to raise funds for them. I am a sponsor of the Hororata Golf Club, and my husband is a member, so it made sense to be a golf tournament. St John personnel do a lot of hard work, and they have helped my family many times directly, especially through my late mum. She called on them often and they were brilliant in supporting her, before she passed away last year. “We had excellent support with the tournament last year and again this year. The players competed in both 9 or 18 hole games, and everyone was welcome. They did not need a handicap to enjoy the great day out while supporting a good cause within our community.

“Being held on a weekday means people often give up work to support the cause — which is very much appreciated. We had some great prizes, raffles and auctions items up for grabs, which were donated by various local businesses within the Selwyn area. Everyone has been very encouraging with their support.” ¢

With three art galleries, local festivals, a theatre, interesting shops and boutiques, as well as a wide range of eateries, there is always something happening. There are river and forest walks nearby, two golf clubs and opportunities for exploring and biking. Our village offers a combination of freedom and security. The villa you occupy is your home, to come and go as you please while we take care of the external maintenance of the buildings and grounds. We foster a village-style community with social activities for those who are so minded, with help discreetly on hand should you need it. In the event that it is required in the future, we offer assisted care units and preferential access to the adjoining McKenzie Healthcare aged care facility. For those downsizing, we have one-bedroom assisted care units, offering

independence and help on hand. Handy to the facilities of the leisure centre you will enjoy a full calendar of activities, doing as little or as much as you like. We have further care packages available tailored to suit, up to rest home level of care. Moving house is always a big decision and

considering the choice of a ‘licence to occupy’ over traditional home ownership requires a shift in thinking. If you are currently receiving subsidised assistance in your home, we

welcome these providers here at McKenzie Lifestyle Village. Our villas are open to view — call McKenzie Lifestyle Village on 0800 845 524 or visit mlv.org.nz.

Gentle and effective exercise by Sue Bustard

Aircycle provides gentle exercise without weight-bearing or strenuous activity. Inflatable, simple to use, soft on feet and easily carried in a pocket or purse you can use it from the comfort of your chair while sitting, reading, having coffee, watching TV or travelling. The exerciser is hugely successful in helping relieve circulatory and foot, leg and hand problems. A woman from Te Horo invented this simple device to help relieve her husband’s severe arthritic pain and swollen ankles. His arthritis carers were so impressed with the relief and increased joint mobility he experienced they thought it should be available to other sufferers. “Aircycle is even better than the information says. The pain in my knees has gone, and although I use a walker, I don’t need it around the house anymore. “I can move more freely and have much less pain in both my hands and feet. My feet are warmer too, and now I don’t need bed socks, which I’ve worn for years,” said Gay, Rotorua. • Aircycle is used to aid: • Those affected by a stroke, Parkinson’s or MS

TO BUILD OR RENOVATE Plan now for summer projects u by Andy Bryenton

Despite all our technology and cleverness, the weather still dictates some of our most important activities. That’s why the window of opportunity for building and renovating is wide open in late spring and early summer. It’s a time when plans can be laid down and dates booked in to take advantage of the sunshine and navigate around the holiday break. • Driveways • Earthquake repairs • New Home Specialists • Patios & Paths

Not to alarm anyone, but it’s now just 12 weeks until Christmas, with school students breaking up for the year well beforehand. That puts many build and renovate projects on the clock if they need to be sorted by the holidays. For those who are planning a major undertaking but still wish to get the most out of the good weather; roofing, for example, or a new build — the time has come to talk plans with the local experts. That could mean planning out a kitchen refurbishment that transforms the space without major structural work; the good news might be that it can be installed in time for the Christmas guests to arrive. It might take the other tack, and involve booking a time in the new year

to lift the entire roof, to install not just new long run iron, but also extractors, ducted air conditioning and LED lighting courtesy of your local electricians. Most seasoned tradespeople have a good eye for how long a job will take; for example, consulting with your plumber on some new tapware or a filtration system is likely to be a before-Christmas job, while building on a new en suite bathroom may best be planned now and executed in the new year. It’s all down to the scope of works and the individual home. The advice from every sector, from those who lay the foundations with concreting skill to those who finish the top of the chimney, is the same. Please don’t wait until the last minute and be offended that a tricky job can’t be

Auto & Marine

In the tyre-tracks of giants u by Andy Bryenton

Following in the footsteps of the acknowledged greats must be tough. Consider the people tasked with producing a new cinematic rendition of the ‘battle of ‘66’, the Le Mans rivalry between Ford and Ferrari. Steve McQueen put an indelible mark on the story, and now Christan Bale and Matt Damon have to step up. It’s the same with the cars themselves, of course. Ford’s recent GT, the one that once again scored Le Mans victory, was always going to be compared to the sleek, low V8 of yesteryear. That is where one of the film’s stars, Carroll Shelby comes in. When it comes to modified Mustangs, he was for many years the king, with his Cobra logo defining the fast Fords through many generations. Now there’s a new ‘hot’ Mustang on the horizon, and it’s interesting to compare it not just to Shelby’s masterpieces in the pony car arena, but to the GT40 as well. The roadgoing Ford GT40 (that’s the MK III, for purists) developed 308hp from its big V8. The new Mustang, dubbed the High Performance 2.3, delivers 318hp from (you guessed it) 2.3 litres. That’s only four cylinders, but before the high priesthood of displacement call heresy, remember that one of the fathers of the original GT40, Roy Lunn, had previously worked on a mid-engined four-pot 1.7-litre car, which was going to be called the Mustang, for Ford, back in ‘62. So here we have a Mustang

with a modern turbocharger, a smaller engine to reduce forward weight, and a legitimate claim to having more oomph than the original GT40. Shelby’s modified cars were always good looking, and the initial glimpses of the High Performance 2.3 display some of the features, which carry on from his

inspiration. Bonnet stripes and scoops, an offset mustang emblem on the grille right where the hooded cobra would have been, and those four big exhausts are giveaways as to the car’s intent. All in all, then, there’s a lot we can learn from the forthcoming Ford v Ferrari film. This single event established a legacy

for hot Fords, inspired by Shelby, through to the present day. It was also the race that kicked off a rival to Ferrari, which really does match them supercar for supercar as well. That’s McLaren, of course; named for the great Kiwi driver and still delivering hits to match the best in Italy. ¢

Auto & Marine

Auto design’s ‘Mister X’ When the second world war came to an end, there was an immediate rush to deliver the ‘future’ of peace and prosperity to a conflict-weary American public. At the forefront of this charge was the auto industry, freed from building jeeps and tanks and ready to look ahead. Enter Virgil Max ‘Ex’ Exner, a young designer at Studebaker, who had the idea that a new generation of cars should have the aggressive lines and futuristic styling of the newly minted jet age. He’d worked with GM design kingpin Harley Earl before the war, and came out immediately afterwards with the streamlined Studebaker Starlight coupe — a radical design for its day. His boss took all the credit, leading to Exner leaving to join Chrysler. There, he partnered up with a group of auto designers, including Luigi Segre of Italian coachbuilders Ghia. Together they blended what we would now call ‘retro-futurism’ with continental style. Exner copied jet planes and sketches of rocket ships from Popular Mechanics to develop cars like the Chrysler K-310, then the 1955 Chrysler ‘letter cars’ including the original 300c. Famously, General Motors’ spies sneaked a peek at these mid-50s icons while they were in production, then set to remaking every Chevy and Cadillac. Fins were in, and Exner tried to prove they were aerodynamic with wind tunnel tests. Eventually he was forced to admit

they just looked cool but did little to affect top speed. This trend brought about the heyday of US auto design, with Exner personally responsible for the Plymouth Fury (Stephen King’s Christine), the DeSoto Adventurer and a line-up of Chryslers. He was the father of the Valiant, which went on to enjoy success as a Kiwi and Aussie icon in later model years. It was Exner’s love of the combination of elegance and power exemplified by his finned 50s masterpieces that sustained him in his later years. He sought to bring back 1930s American supercar brand Duesenberg, sketched concepts of modern vehicles to revive Bugatti years before the Veyron or EB110, and even had a hand in the design of the VW Karmann-Ghia. His big, bold, low-roofline, long hood, big wheel-arch language of design was carried on into the modern Chrysler 300C. While he called modern cars, shorn of their fins and bullet-shaped tail lamps ‘plucked chickens’, he’d be pleased to know that today, his designs are among the most sought-after classics at auction. ¢
