LINCOLN University and the Asia Pacific Football Academy hope a new arrangement between the two institutions will entice excellent footballers from around the world to come on over. The institutions signed a memorandum of understanding at the university yesterday to offer a programme for talented footballers to study English through the university while they train at the academy. The academy, which is based on campus, is aligned with the successful Chelsea Football Club in the UK and already has had players picked up by UK professional clubs. Their players are either Lincoln High School students, between the ages of 13 and 18, or
young adults, many of whom could benefit from learning English at the university. Asia Pacific Football Academy managing director Andy Smith said the United States model of offering professional sports pathways to athletes through its colleges had been very successful but was not replicated elsewhere in the world. The new partnership at Lincoln would offer foreign students an alternative. “It’s difficult for New Zealand to say we can generate pathways for people unless they’re playing rugby and they’re a New Zealander but if you’re trying to attract international students and you can offer international pathways and you can offer good academic
facilities it’s very helpful.” Mr Smith said the signed memorandum could, in future, be expanded beyond English language courses to include other areas of study at the university. Current Football Academy interns Matthew Parkinson, 21, from the UK, and sisters Shelby and Sydney Payne, both 19, from the US, said they had found their few weeks in Lincoln to be a very worthwhile experience. “The APFA coaches and directors are just amazing people,” Shelby said. “They’re really good, they know what they’re doing, they know what they’re talking about, the programmes that they’re putting on and running are just top notch.”

Workers ready for new Darfield plant
NEW Stock!
On site: Fonterra chairman Henry van de Heyden, chief executive Theo Spierings and Canterbury operations manager Richard Gray at a visit to the new Darfield plant in June.
Sizes 6-20
THE new 60-strong team at Fonterra Darfield are into their final few weeks of trials before the first milk arrives. Fonterra Canterbury Operations Manager Richard Gray said more than 1500 people had been involved in getting the new factory up and running and the site was a tribute to their hard work. “Safety and quality are our top priorities and, with all the team on board, our focus is on testing the new plant’s processes with Follow us on Facebook
water.” New members of the team have been familiarising themselves with the systems by visiting four of the co-op’s 26 sites around the country, including Te Rapa and Whareroa in the North Island and Clandeboye and Edendale in the South Island. Mr Gray said there was a high demand for roles at the new site, both from locals and from people outside the area. “We’ve had a great response from locals,
with three quarters of the jobs going to people from the Canterbury region.” Fifty more positions will be added in 2013 when the site’s second drier comes on line. When both driers are fully operational the site will process up to 6.6 million litres of milk. “This will further optimise Fonterra’s production and product mix for New Zealand milk, which is an important platform for our strategy,” Mr Gray said.

the $80,000 generated in 2011. Sponsored by PGG Wrightson/Ballance Agri-Nutrients, the four-month programme, which closed at the end of May, saw PGG Wrightson and participating suppliers commit $2 per tonne of Ballance Agri-Nutrients fertiliser purchased and $2 per $500 spent on selected agri-chemical or seed products to schools and charities selected by farming customers. More than 3000 farmers registered for the scheme earmarking funding for 320 rural community organisations. Half the funding, about $80,000, would go to rural community schools, while rescue helicopters would receive $35,000 and St John would be allocated more than $31,000. This was a

PGG Wrightson general manager rural supplies Stephen Guerin said the success of the programme reflected a genuine commitment by both farmers and suppliers to support those organisations that needed assistance to survive in rural communities. “Last year we also contributed to the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal, so that allocation has now gone back to local support organisations and schools.” The top three recipients were the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance ($10,400), Westpac Rescue Helicopter Christchurch ($5500) and Lakes District Rescue Helicopter ($4400).

Sprawling: The biennial Field Days event has outgrown its Lincoln site.
Lincoln University Farm site to hold Field Days for final year ONE of the most popular events on the farming calendar, the South Island Agricultural Field Days (SIAFD), will be held at Lincoln University Farm for the last time next year. The event has been scheduled for March 20 to 22. Having outgrown the site, organisers are looking for a new location to host the event in 2015. Chairman of the SIAFD organising committee Richard Westaway said one of the reasons for the move was the need to ensure the capacity for comparative demonstrations, as they were a major attraction. “Each year we have around 80 exhibitors a day demonstrate machinery and equipment. In fact, we have more demonstrations than any other event in the country. It is a draw card for farmers and contractors who get to see
machinery and equipment in action in a real paddock, as opposed to viewing it in a sales yard. “We are committed to moving locations and are on the lookout for the right site to hold the 2015 SIAFD and for future events,” he said. SIAFD is held every second year and attracts between 20,000 and 25,000 visitors. It has been held at a Lincoln University Farm site for 32 years. The South Island Agricultural Field Days has 350 exhibits spread over seven hectares and is the longest running Field Days in the country. It is now in its 61st year. The 2013 prospectus will be available on the SIAFD website www.siafd.co.nz in September. Previous events have booked up quickly so early registration is recommended.

“VERY emotional and overwhelming” was how Paralympic swimming sensation Sophie Pascoe described a surprise send off at Christchurch’s Pioneer pool last week. Pascoe, a Halswell resident and former Lincoln High School student, thought she was at the pool for a promotional event organised by her sponsor Westpac but after swimming a lap of the pool she was greeted by balloons, streamers and cheering family and friends. She said the send off was completely unexpected. “My friends would probably tell you I hate surprises but this is a very nice surprise and it just shows you how much support I have. I’m very lucky.” Pascoe said she had butterflies in her stomach ahead of the Paralympics but felt well prepared for the games. “Every time I bring up London I get very nervous and that’s a good sign for me so I know that when I’m nervous I’m ready to race. It just makes the adrenaline run through my body a little bit faster. “Over this past year I haven’t missed a single training session, I haven’t got sick, no injuries – so I’ve been very lucky and kept myself fit and healthy, ready to race.” Among family members on hand was Pascoe’s grandmother Yvonne Goodman who said it was a wonderful way to show support. “It’s a lovely sendoff for her and I know all this will stand her in good stead over in London, and she’ll swim for us, she’ll swim for New Zealand and hopefully bring back gold.” Paralympics New Zealand board member Ben Lucas, who was also among those at the send off, said he expected Pascoe to do extremely well in London.

“She is going to go like an absolute rocket ship. Sophie is one of New Zealand’s best medal prospects for the games, she currently holds world records and she is head and shoulders above her competition.” Pascoe left Christchurch on Saturday for altitude training in Arizona. She will arrive in London in late August, shortly before the Paralympics begin.

IN recognition of her dedicated mentorship and role in a March prison art auction that raised $21,000 for the Christchurch rebuild, Corina Hazlett received the Big ‘A’ Prison Arts Leadership Award last week. A visual artist and prison art tutor, Ms Hazlett spends 12 to 15 hours weekly teaching art in Canterbury’s prisons. The judges commented that Ms Hazlett had “gone the extra mile in making connections and making a difference to the lives of prisoners through art. As a leader, she inspires and motivates.” They also commended her curation of the auction. The auction, Rū Whenua Whakaaro: Thoughts of the Earthquake, featured 140 carvings, paintings, sculptures and drawings by 75 prisoners along with three of Ms Hazlett’s own pieces. “This was one of the most sincere, inspirational and heartfelt exhibitions I’ve been involved in during my 20 years as a practising artist,” Ms Hazlett said. “All of the comments were very encouraging
and positive, and there were tears of emotion from prisoners’ families and also from purchasers of the artworks.” Ms Hazlett has taught in Canterbury’s prisons since January 2010. In Rolleston’s Kia Marama Unit, she leads art therapy modules. Prisoners create art and discuss the thoughts behind their artworks with the Kia Marama community. The art is displayed in the visits hall. At Christchurch Women’s Prison, Ms Hazlett helped inmates create a mural for the prison gymnasium along with handmade printed cushions and artwork for the auction. At Christchurch Men’s Prison, Ms Hazlett has been involved in a variety of projects. Under her direction, the youth unit made art examining the prison environment’s influence on behaviour. Other units created panels to hang on the outdoor fence, Te Whare Tapa Whā pieces for the dining hall and colourful artworks to brighten the area where children visit their fathers in prison.

Colourful cupcakes go down a treat ON Friday, July 6, more than 40 children attended four cupcake decorating classes put on by Selwyn Parenting Network at the Lincoln Events Centre. The classes were filled with children creating wonderful, coloured and decorated cupcakes. Event organiser and group coordinator, Andrea Coia, said they were overwhelmed with over 250 requests for children to attend the classes. Sponsors KB’s Bakery Lincoln, Fresh Choice Barrington and The Warehouse Hornby helped keep the cost to a minimum. The local community group strives to offer families local, affordable and fun holiday activities as well as regular get togethers, speakers and other events such as car boot sales and pamper events. They hope to encourage more parental support to increase the number of classes and other activities they can provide in the future. Another recent activity put on by the group was a Family Fun Day at the West Melton Community Centre with entertainer and clown Adam Allsorts. The Selwyn Parenting Network meets regularly and welcomes all families. If you have any ideas or suggestions for future events, or are available to help, they would love to hear from you.

News from Lincoln Envirotown Sue Jarvis
MORE than 36 kids turned up to the Lincoln Envirotown Trust’s Kidsfest Cool Environmental Fun event on July 6, bringing with them their mums, dads, grandparents and others. We started with a story about penguins in the Antarctic and the environmental effects of humans. The children joined in, including a young boy whose dad had been to the Antarctic. The children then trooped into the next room which was filled with many activities to choose from. The children made snowflakes, snowmen, 3D Antarctic scenes and sock puppets. It was great to see all the children having such fun on a wet winter’s day. They went away happy, clutching armfuls of things. Thanks to Ruth Guy, her two children (Tom and Maddy) and Rachel Cottam, Santhia Hamburg and the students from Lincoln High School. In other news, our supporters from Florida University are back! Great to see these long-term supporters of LET back, making their impact on local natives (I mean the plants, but it could also be the people!) and helping at a Mahoe working bee on Sunday, July 8.
Digging in: Volunteers at a recent Mahoe Reserve working bee.
Would you like to make an impact on the natives? The next Mahoe Reserve Working Bee is on August 5, starting at the earlier time of 1pm. We hope to turn the large heap of branches into mulch. There will be a planting day on September 2, at 2pm, so bring your spades and gloves and plant a tree for the future. We supply the trees. If you would like our newsletter contact sue. jarvis@lincoln.ac.nz. Sue Jarvis is chairperson of the Lincoln Envirotown Trust.

Coming of age for community patrols Samantha Early
TURNING 18 is a milestone for anyone, but it’s extra special for community watch patrols in greater Christchurch. The community watch cars gathered outside Pioneer Stadium in Spreydon last Wednesday to celebrate that after almost 18 years, the voluntary crime patrols now cover the whole Canterbury region. They act as extra sets of eyes and ears for the police, reporting suspicious behaviour. City Parks Community Watch member John Bird said he wanted to help start up patrols in Christchurch after an experience in the back of a police car. “I was a passenger, not a villain! We were going down Manchester Street, something happened in Colombo Street and in those days you could hear everything that was going on on all radios and the boys turned around and said ‘no we didn’t see anything. Do you think we can see through brick walls?’” Mr Bird said. He had everything organised. They just needed a car, so he
The Massage Therapy Clinic
put a notice in a local newspaper, which was picked up by AMI Insurance’s Sydenham branch manager Eric McKenzie. Mr McKenzie arranged for a vehicle to be donated and also spent time volunteering himself. Mr Bird said he was overjoyed with the support the patrols had from local sponsors, volunteers and the police over the year and he couldn’t express his thanks enough. Community Watch Hornby member and Canterbury district representative for the Combined Patrols of New Zealand Ann Smith said Christchurch city now had six patrols and the Canterbury area from Hanmer to Twizel had 16 patrols, many with several cars each. “We are the eyes and ears of the community and anything we can do to support the police is fantastic,” she said. Constable Stef Harris said they often saved police time. “If they see a suspected drunk driver they will let us know where they are, the direction of travel and we will be able to stop the person, and they’ve been dead on the money quite
often.” Community Watch is looking for new members of all ages and Mr Bird said those interested could contact Constable Harris through the main police number, 363 7400.

Two years and 12 tonnes of cash celebrated A UNIQUE Lions club project that takes unwanted currency and turns it into life-changing experiences for children celebrated its second birthday this month. For the past two years, Lions clubs across New Zealand have collected more than 12 tonnes of old money and foreign currency as part of the Heads Up for Kids campaign. Although unwanted, this collection has turned the old New Zealand cash and foreign currency into - funding for
education programmes such as Spirit of Adventure, Sir Edmund Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre and Outward Bound. Dozens of young New Zealanders have benefited from the funds raised. Last month 10 students were awarded Heads Up for Kids scholarships after being nominated by their teachers and peers for their positive attitudes towards their school environment and community. Christchurch Lions member Gillian Stewart said youth are our most precious asset and we need to support them.
“It’s important our young people are recognised and given opportunities that boost their confidence and provide a springboard for them to grow into great New Zealanders of the future.” So far, 2.3 million coins with a total value of more than $320,000 have been donated since the campaign was launched on July 10, 2010. Old money and foreign currency can be taken to any Resene ColorShop or you can call 0800 Old Money for a Lions club member to collect. Kiwi bounty: Gillian Stewart of Christchurch, Lions clubs district 202E with a collection of coins from Telecom offices.
Templeton swimming club supported Samantha Early
THE Templeton Swimming Club has some big decisions to make in the next two years. For the past decade it has been in the unenviable position of being a swimming club without its own pool after the Templeton Hospital pool was closed. Recently the Riccarton Wigram Community Board granted the club $12,000 from its 2012 – 2013 Discretionary Response fund to go towards lane hire at the Wharenui Pool in Riccarton. “It’s still a swimming club that punches way above its weight and they get some very good results for the size of the club,” community board chair Mike Mora said. Templeton Swimming Club president Wayne Rollinson said getting the funding was fantastic. “Without it we would certainly have to put fees up to the community. We’re trying to put a good service and an affordable service,” Mr Rollinson said. The club currently has about 80 members. Mr Rollinson said some of the club’s

coaching staff were currently embarking on a private venture to build their own pool for a learn-to-swim business. He said as a club they had some big decisions to make in the next 12 to 24 months and the Selwyn Aquatic Centre in Rolleston, due to be finished next year, provided more opportunities for competitive swimming. Mr Rollinson is also the president of Swimming Canterbury West Coast and said they were looking at the provision of aquatic facilities across the city. “At the moment we have got Jellie Park Pool being upgraded and we have supported the Central City 50-metre aquatic centre for the city and that’s where we’re sitting at the moment.” He said everyone was waiting for the Christchurch Central Development Unit to release its 100-day blueprint for the central city. “Once that comes out that will give everyone a better understanding particularly around a central aquatic centre,” Mr Rollinson said.

Many people use Microsoft Office to complete their everyday work. Often, they encounter problems that cost them time and cause unnecessary stress. If you’re largely self-taught, or the training that you have had is now a distant memory, the tips and tricks in this column will help you complete your everyday Microsoft Office documents faster and with fewer problems.
Use range names to create meaningful Excel formulas Understanding what formulas actually show can be a challenge particularly if you are working with an Excel workbook that someone else has created. Formulas that use range names rather than cell references are much easier to understand. For example: =Income–Expenses is much more meaningful than =D9‑D25. Creating range names is really easy! Simply select the cell or cells that you want to name, click the Name Box at the left of the Formula bar, type the name (eg Sales) and tap Enter. A few pointers: you’ll find the Name Box above column A; range names can’t include spaces or start with numbers; make your range
names meaningful (eg Sales, Products, Prices and the like) and range names are not case sensitive. Making use of range names Once you have assigned names to cells or ranges, you can use the names in a number of ways. You can quickly go to the named range using the Go To command (press Ctrl+G or F5) – even if the range name is in another worksheet. You can set a function’s argument to the range name. For example: =SUM(Sales), =COUNTIF(Sales, A4), =VLOOKUP(A4,Sales,3). You can also use range names rather than cell references when you are creating macros.

Farmer confidence plummets FARMER confidence at the beginning of the 2012/13 season has plummeted in Federated Farmers’ latest farm confidence survey. “In January, the mid-way point for the 2011/12 season, farmer confidence in their profitability was strong. This has gone fully into reverse gear with most farmers now expecting farm profitability will worsen over the coming year,”
Federated Farmers president Bruce Wills said. “While a drop in sentiment was expected, its size wasn’t. The 2011/12 season was probably one of the best in recent times for dairy, meat and wool and would be near impossible to top. Instead of a slight easing farmer confidence found the trap door and jumped right in,” Mr Wills said.
70 percent of dairy farms meet standards SEVENTY percent of Canterbury’s 977 dairy farms achieved full compliance with dairy shed effluent consent conditions in the latest season, up from 65 percent in the previous season, Environment Canterbury (ECan) has reported. Another 21 percent of dairy farms had minor non-compliance issues, down from 26 percent in the previous season. The rate of significant non-compliance also fell to 8.6 percent, down from 9.8 percent in the previous season. The preliminary results are part of ECan’s Dairy Report for the 2011-12 season. The full results and report will be made available later in the year and will contain region-specific information. ECan commissioner Tom Lambie said it was very encouraging that monitoring had shown a steady improvement in overall compliance rates from season to season. “In most cases of significant non-compliance, improvements are being made on effluent disposal systems and management of ponding. We recognise dairy farmers are actively working on storage options to ensure full compliance with conditions. Canterbury Dairy Effluent Group (CDEG), an organisation which includes representatives from Federated Farmers and Dairy NZ among others, attributed the success of industry action. CDEG representative Ron Pellow said the results of increased awareness were showing year on year. “One of the key focuses of CDEG has been to improve awareness of effluent management and the need for vigilance with regard to consent requirements,” Mr Pellow said. “It’s pleasing to see a continued improvement in compliance on-farm.” In the 2011-12 season there was one major non-compliance incident in which charges were laid. These were upheld last month.

Submissions 50/50 on dog policy changes WITH one week to go before submissions close on the Selwyn District Council’s dog control policy and bylaw review, submissions are evenly split between those for and against proposed changes, senior animal control officer Steve Clarke says. The most significant element of the review is a proposal to allow a number of reserves to be used as off-leash exercise areas when not in use for organised events such as sports games. The change is intended to address a lack of current off-leash exercise areas at a time when the population is rapidly growing. Mr Clarke said around 50 submissions had been received so far. Four public forums on the matter, held in Rolleston, Darfield, Lincoln and Leeston earlier this month, had been attended by a combined total of only 16 people. Submissions close on August 3. Queries can be directed to Mr Clarke on (03) 347 2800.

CANTERBURY’S 2012 Weedbusters nominees and award winners were recognised and celebrated at a Canterbury Weedbusters information sharing event in Little River earlier this month. The Weedbusters information sharing day was coordinated and hosted by Environment Canterbury (ECan) and the Department of Conservation and was the first of its kind held for Canterbury Weedbusters. The day celebrated award winners and provided attendees with a range of informative talks on topics ranging from wilding pines to Immediate Steps and ecological perspectives on weeds/restoration. Presentations from the Weedbusters group shared their work successes and challenges over the last year. ECan commissioner Donald Couch presented the awards to the winners and congratulated them on their achievements. “I am thrilled to see so many different organisations and people making a difference in protecting the environment,” Mr Couch said. Judges Jon Sullivan, of Lincoln University, and Mary Lovell-Smith said that as in past years, there was a high calibre of nominees which didn’t make the judging easy. “We awarded overall excellence to the Lindis Pass Conservation group as we were very impressed with their thorough application and what they have achieved. They have done amazing things since their application for the 2008 Weedbusters awards and are deserving of this award this year,” Mr Sullivan said. “Dick Tripp was award for his tireless behind-the-scenes work weeding private land in Governors Bay and Grant Bowden for his amazing efforts ridding the Ernle Clark Reserve
of weeds and helping the restoration group in the planting at the reserve. “We highly commend all other individual applicants for their efforts and we hope they will be nominated again in the future,” Mr Sullivan said. Nominees for Canterbury Weedbuster Awards 2012 included both groups and individuals. They were the Lindis Pass Conservation Group, Ernle Clark reserve restoration group, Dick Tripp (Governors Bay Landcare group), Grant Bowden and Alice Shanks (Ernle Clark reserve), Annelies Pekalharing and Denis Blomquist (Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust) and Lindsay Hamilton and Graham Nairn (Tramway Reserve Trust). The category winners were: Overall Excellence Award: Lindis Pass Conservation Group Public Land: Lindis Pass Conservation Group and the Summit Road Society (joint winners) Private Land: Dick Tripp (Governors Bay Landcare group) Individual: Grant Bowden (Ernle Clark reserve restoration group) Highly Commended: Alice Shanks, Annelies Pekalharing, Denis Blomquist, Ernle Clark reserve restoration group, Graham Nairn and Lindsay Hamilton (Tramway Reserve Trust) Weedbusters is a weeds awareness and education programme that aims to protect New Zealand’s environment from the increasing weed problem. The Weedbusters programme celebrates the efforts of community groups, individual and organisations, and aims to encourage people to help stop the spread of weeds.
