HE calls it the ‘Rose of Life’ and it’s his tribute to all those who lost their lives on February 22.

Rolleston artist Sean Simpson created his mural last Friday on the second anniversary of Christchurch’s devastating earthquake, finishing it at exactly 12.51pm, the time the quake had struck.

Painted on a brick wall on council land on the corner of Tennyson Street and State Highway 1 in Rolleston, the mural depicts a rose in bloom, accompanied by the words “Gone but… never forgotten” along with the time and date of the earthquake.

“I saw that blank wall there for a couple of weeks coming up to the memorial of the earthquake and just thought I’d like to do a nice piece of art to give something for those who had passed away and something for the community to just lift their spirits on such a dreadful day,” Mr Simpson said.

During and after painting it, more than 100 people, including Selwyn District Mayor

Kelvin Coe and his wife, had stopped by to express their appreciation for the artwork.

Mr Simpson had himself lost a good friend in the earthquake, well-known tattoo artist Matthew McEachen, and the mural was partly dedicated to him.

He was grateful to Councillor Jeff Bland, who was heavily involved in getting the go-ahead and who retired from his other role as a police senior sergeant on the day of the anniversary.

While this was his first earthquake mural, Mr Simpson was hoping he would be able to do another one in Christchurch’s eastern suburbs at some point.

Many schools across the Selwyn District also marked February 22 with a minute’s silence at 12.51pm and in a variety of other ways. At Prebbleton School children were asked to each bring a single flower to place under the flagpole, while Springston School children decorated the gate with flowers in the shape of a heart. At Marking the day: Flowers arranged in the shape of Clearview School, pupils were invited to dress a heart decorated the gate of Springston School last in red and black for the day.

Kicking things off: Chancellor Tom Lambie addressed new Lincoln University students at an official welcome held on campus on Monday.

The traditional Lincoln University Students’ Association (LUSA) orientation programme also took place over the last week, with events held on

Thousands of Cantabrians not ready for digital TV

TIME is fast running out for Canterbury households who are still to go digital. With fewer than 100 days to go, over 19,000 homes in Canterbury are yet to make the move.

New research by the public information campaign Going Digital shows an estimated 19,053 Canterbury homes have televisions that won’t work once analogue TV is switched off on April 28.

After that date, everyone in Canterbury who wants to watch TV will need to have Freeview or SKY. Some areas also offer Igloo and TelstraClear.

“I’m recommending people take action now to go digital. When Hawke’s Bay went digital last year there were people who waited until the campus during the day and evening.

It wraps up tomorrow. “It can be a bit of shock at last minute and then had to go without TV for the beginning of semester one after a long break away, so it’s always great to combine academic study and social events in the first week to ease yourself in to it,” LUSA president Kent Lloyd said.

Study looks at new West Melton facility

a time because installers were fully booked,” national manager Greg Harford said.

Right up until April 28, Going Digital staff will be out and about in Canterbury talking with people and discussing what needs to be done to make sure everyone can keep watching TV. “You don’t need a new TV to go digital but everyone will need a TV with Freeview built-in or the right set-top box together with a UHF aerial or satellite dish,” Mr Harford said.

Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that every TV needs to go digital if it is to continue receiving pictures as do DVD and video recorders.

Anyone with questions on the move to digital TV can visit www.goingdigital.co.nz or call 0800 838 800.

A FEASIBILITY study is underway to assess the need and options for a new community and multi-sport facility in West Melton.

The study, conducted by Sports Guidance, will look at viability, type, size and possible locations for such a facility.

Funding for the study will come from the reserve contributions fund, which subdividers pay into to assist with community infrastructure development. Although the money had initially been allocated for use on the West Melton Reserve, the reserve board decided it could benefit the wider community and a working party including Selwyn District Council, the Selwyn Cnetral Community Board and the West Melton Community Centre and Hall Committee subsequently approved the study.

West Melton Community Centre and Hall Committee chairman Richard Hayward said the township’s ageing infrastructure was under stress due to rampant population growth and other factors.

“We’ve now decided that rather than do a development for the reserve we’d do something for the wider community.”

While the rugby and bowls clubs had their own facilities, other spots such as football, cricket and tennis did not.

Changes to the building code had created issues for the West Melton Community Centre, with the building having to be “propped up” to meet 34 per cent of the code. Although it was structurally sound, some residents were afraid to use it, he said.

Mr Hayward said that with the 150th anniversary of the formation of West Melton taking place next year, the construction of a new facility would “dovetail well with that”.

However, he acknowledged the timeframe was “fairly tight”.

Residents wishing to contribute their thoughts to the study can contact Sports Guidance director Peter Burley on (03) 339 0596 or at info@sportsguidance.co.nz

Earth Hour countdown This year’s Earth Hour will take place from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturday, March 23.

Energy saving tip: Water heating is usually the biggest energy user at home. Fortunately there are things you can do to save yourself some money and decrease your environmental footprint at the same time.

If you have an adjustable thermostat, lower the temperature of the hot water cylinder to 60 degrees Celsius (55C at the tap), or if your thermostat is not easily adjustable ask an electrician to do it for you.

Fixing leaking hot water taps will go further than you might think and switching off the hot water while you’re on holiday is a great idea too.

You may also wish to look at installing a more energy-efficient water-heating system – one that uses solar power for instance.

Wounded warrior competing in US

A P P LY NOW

Tom Doudney

A ROLLESTON man is one of three New Zealand Defence Force members competing in a military equivalent of the Paralympics about to start in San Diego, California.

Staff Sergeant Nick Marfell, based at Burnham Military Camp, joins North Islanders Sergeant Mark Soper and Corporal Jason Sturley in becoming the first New Zealanders to take part in the event.

The US Marine Corps Trials, running from March 1 to 6, will see more than 300 active duty, reserve and veteran marines, as well as international military personnel, competing in a range of sports.

The trials, hosted by the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment, are part of a reconditioning programme providing activities and opportunities for wounded, ill and injured marines to train as athletes, increasing their strength.

SSgt Marfell lost his hearing in one ear in a non-combat-related accident in March last year while serving in Afghanistan.

Having arrived in San Diego earlier this week, he was enjoying the camaraderie and looking forward to taking part in the track and field and basketball events.

“We’ve all got a common thread I suppose.

It’s all different degrees of injury over here.

There are people over here with prosthetics on, some people with no legs in wheelchairs, there are a whole range of injuries - some combat and some non-combat.

“I think the main focus from the organisers is to just get out there and give it a go.”

Call me. I’m Michelle and I’ll do my best to get money for you today.

I specialise in loans $500 to $30,000.

Staff Sergeant Nick Marfell

There had been a real ANZAC spirit with the New Zealanders and Australians getting along well - although he wasn’t sure the bond would be quite as strong during competition.

Team manager Warrant Officer Class Two John Irving said it was “huge” for the New Zealanders to be part of the event.

“A lot of these guys, once they’ve had these injuries they will think there is nothing else out there for them, ‘that’s it I’m disabled’ and whatever else, but you look around this place and there are guys walking around with no legs or no legs and one arm and these guys are competing in athletics and some of them are better than able-bodied people.

“It just proves that life does not stop, it goes on and it also brings out the competitiveness of the competitors.”

Donation boosts St John

A $54,000 grant to St John from Federated Farmers will help the organisation continue its important community work.

Federated Farmers made several grants from their Adverse Events Trust in September 2012 and St John was one of the recipients.

The money came from individual farmers, meat company workers and meat and wool companies.

Federated Farmers’ representatives Katie Milne and John Hartnell visited the St John Regional Operations Centre to see the work of the ambulance communications centre, as well as have a look at a new ambulance.

Federated Farmers national president Bruce Wills was delighted St John was the recipient of the trust’s final and largest donation.

“As the first responder St John was the right choice to conclude our current efforts to support Christchurch,” Mr Wills said. “This donation is important because it will help St John to rebuild its emergency response resources. St John is a New Zealand institution and when the chips are down, it is always there for rural and urban alike.”

FOR the majority of people, Woodend is a environment with some chemicals being far frustrating piece of the main road where you from friendly, but only organic-based products have to slow down to 50 kilometres per hour are used here.

Their tagline says “91 per after cruising at the open-road speed cent sustainable natural organic of 100. hairdressing. No compromise, For the few locals who live there keep your earth-loving conscience it’s a quiet little spot with a pub, a clean”. restaurant and a few shops.

Last year they were a finalist in It has to be the last place on the ‘Christchurch Top Shop’ in the earth that you’d expect a hair salon Sustainable Retailer category. No to open that would fit right in in mean feat for a hairdresser.

Organic is a word that often the same opportunity as anyone else conjures up images of alternative in a major city when it comes to glamour and feeling good, so they sought out a lifestyles, but a glimpse of the styles and the people involved will quickly reveal to an building in the northern part of town.

The conversion is astounding and right there a village is that you still get that all-important in the middle of Woodend there is now a hair one-on-one attention, and although you can walk out with a hairdo that would wow Paris, if salon that would rival anything elsewhere.

But it isn’t just hair; the name Pure Hair is you want a simple perm it’s yours.

Village life can be fabulous because of its based on the fact that the salon uses what is totally sustainable, a nice fit for people in a rural relaxed atmosphere, and that’s one of the reasons Woodend was picked as the site for the area.

Hair salons aren’t known for their care of the salon. Other small towns can catch on to that.

Country Matters

Prohibited fire season returns A PROHIBITED fire season will be reintroduced in Selwyn District from tomorrow.

This means no outdoor fires can be lit in the district. The burning of crop stubble is also not allowed. Gas barbeques with a high-pressure water source at hand are allowed but not charcoal barbeques.

The district’s principal rural fire officer Wilson Brown said the fire risk was extreme.

“We moved into a restricted fire season

following a brief spell of rain, but the district is once again very dry.

“Our primary focus must be on reducing the fire risk in the district in order to protect lives and property.”

Council would review the prohibited fire season status regularly and lift restrictions as soon as it was considered safe to do so.

During a prohibited fire season all fire permits previously issued by the council are cancelled.

SELWYN MP Amy Adams, who is also the Minister for Communications and Information Technology, says the use of new smartphones and tablets will free up over 61,000 hours of police time in the Canterbury Police District every year.

Smartphones and tablets will be introduced across the country from April, with 6500 frontline officers being issued a smartphone by mid-2014, and 3900 staff receiving tablets.

“We want our police to be as efficient as possible and to spend their time preventing crime and catching criminals, so New Zealanders can feel safe in their homes and communities,” Ms Adams said.

“Making sure our police have the tools they need to spend less time on paperwork and more time on crime prevention is vital to achieving this.”

The technology means police will be able to access, input and share offender details and other information on the spot without having to go back to their station or use the police radio.

“This is especially important in rural communities like ours where travel distances can be significant,” Ms Adams said.

“The technology will also help officers make better decisions on the ground, which will reduce safety risks for officers and the public.”

New Lincoln library to open next year THE construction of a new library and service centre for Lincoln will begin in April following a decision by Selwyn District Council to approve the project and award the tender to Image Construction.

Mayor Kelvin Coe said the decision was exciting news for Selwyn residents.

“Lincoln is one of our fastest-growing towns and the new library will be able to provide an increased range of services and activities for the community.”

The existing Lincoln library on the corner of Gerald and Lyttelton streets services the Springs ward, which has a population of 12,000. The council considers it already too small to meet the needs of the community with the population of Lincoln and surrounding areas expected to grow from 3300 at present to 5600 by 2031.

The $3.3 million new library and service centre building will be located on Gerald Street, beside the present library’s location, and is expected to open in 2014. The design for the

new library draws inspiration from Lincoln’s rural heritage and local civic architecture. The 700-sqm building will be constructed from metal with stone cladding at the base, a feature commonly seen on council buildings in the district. The new library will also display photos from Lincoln’s past.

At the request of the community a large green space will surround the library and will be available for community activities. Public toilets have also added to the complex and will be open all hours.

The design includes space for library services to expand as the population grows in the future.

As part of the council’s strategy to cater for rapid population growth, library facilities in two of its four wards have already been improved with the Leeston and Darfield What’s to come: A concept design for the new Lincoln library. libraries expanding in former council office sites. Improved library facilities in Rolleston are also being considered by the council.

Government funding boosts Central Plains Water project A MORE reliable and sustainable supply of water for irrigation and for lowland stream flows has come a step closer for the Central Canterbury community.

The Central Plains Water (CPW) project, which proposes development of water infrastructure in Central Canterbury, has gained co-funding from the Government’s Irrigation Acceleration Fund (IAF).

The IAF, which is administered by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), has committed $1.71 million for the preliminary design and planning for the headrace canal and pipe distribution network. The programme is on track for canal construction to commence in September with the scheme delivering ‘first water’ to some areas for the start of the 2014/2015 irrigation season.

CEO of Central Plains Water Derek Crombie said the funding had given CPW the means to boost its team working on the project from four up to 20, which included outside consultants.

MPI has already approved in principle a further $4.04m of IAF funding for this phase, subject to several key milestones being achieved in March. This will enable the 20,000ha Stage 1 area, which lies between the Rakaia and Selwyn rivers, to be irrigated from surface water rather than deep groundwater. Relieving pressure on groundwater and springs to provide both environmental and economic benefits is a key aim of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS).

Selwyn District Mayor Kelvin Coe said the council was very pleased that the funding application had been successful.

“Government investment in this project supports the contribution the council has made through a $5 million loan. It is great to see that the Government recognises the value of this project to both Selwyn and Canterbury’s future.”

IrrigationNZ CEO Andrew Curtis said the

Revitive

TM

Circulation Booster®

announcement of Government funding to progress the Central Plains Water scheme was a cause for celebration “as agriculture like no other industry had the ability to help fund Canterbury’s rebuild”.

“Central Plains Water will generate significant socio-economic benefit for a region that desperately requires economic stability.

IrrigationNZ supports this grant as Selwyn farmers are ready to invest in sustainable irrigation. No other industry in Canterbury can produce such immediate revitalisation of the community.

We are talking new construction jobs, increased on-farm labour and contracting demand, as well as downstream spending which will be spread across Christchurch and Canterbury,” Mr Curtis said.

Ultimately CPW will enable irrigation of 60,000ha. One half of this will replace existing irrigation sourced from groundwater.

Water for the CPW scheme will come from the Rakaia River from existing allocations.

These allocations were set to preserve and protect the outstanding natural characteristics, habitats and features of the Rakaia River. Recent amendments to the Rakaia Water Conservation Order have made storage in Lake Coleridge – which is part of the river system – available to the CPW scheme.

The CPW team has been fully involved in the collaborative process to set environmental limits being run by the Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee as part of the CWMS. The zone committee’s recommendations on environmental flows and nutrient limits for the whole catchment are due to be provided to the Environment Canterbury Commissioners in March for inclusion in the Selwyn-Waihora section of the proposed Land and Water Regional Plan. Any new plan provisions will apply to the CPW scheme.

The keen cook was eager to see where the famous chef got her inspiration from.

“I’m a bit of a foodie and I love cooking and I love Annabel Langbein’s food. I’m really looking forward to sampling the food and the culture in Italy and France, it’s just yummy.”

Ms Lancaster said lots of people were vying for the position of being taken on the trip with her, but she has chosen to take her husband.

“I should take him shouldn’t I, it would be rude not to!” she laughed.

nutrient management are also important parts of improving environmental performance on dairy farms.

In Canterbury, rules to exclude intensively farmed stock from waterways came into effect in mid-2011 with additional rules in mid-2012.

Around 90 per cent of Canterbury’s dairy farms fully exclude stock from waterways, according to the Accord Snapshot.

Under the proposed Land & Water Regional Plan all farmers will also be expected to achieve industry good practice for nutrient management based on nitrogen loss targets.

The proposed plan already requires farmers to begin recording nutrient loses.

It is also proposed that any changes in land use resulting in either an increase in the volume of water for irrigation, or an increase of more than 10 per cent in nitrogen losses, will need resource consent. Additional rules are expected to come in to force in July 2017.

FOODIE Nicola Lancaster is getting set for the trip of a lifetime after winning a trip for two to Europe.

She entered a competition run by Paper Plus for buying the latest cookbook from Annabel Langbein, Simple Pleasures.

The Rolleston resident hadn’t given her entry a second thought until she got the phone call to tell her she had won, leaving her “blown away”.

“It’s such a big thing to win and I haven’t been to Europe before!” she said.

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury has welcomed the announcement of the Sustainable Dairying Water Accord, which replaces the Dairying and Clean Streams Accord that was initially set up in 2003 and expired at the end of last year.

“We are supporting in principle the Sustainable Dairying Water Accord and our council has agreed Environment Canterbury is to become a ‘friend of the accord’,” Environment Canterbury’s director resource management Kim Drummond said.

“The new accord aligns well with our approach in recent years, which has been to work with the dairy industry and farmers to improve on-farm practices with a focus on improving environmental performance.

“This work has included a joint industrycouncil programme in Canterbury to improve understanding and encourage good practice among farmers and farm workers dealing with dairy effluent.”

In the most recent full season (2011-12) 70 per cent of Canterbury’s 977 dairy farms were fully compliant with the effluent discharge consent conditions, a figure which has steadily improved from the 43.2 per cent full compliance recorded in the 2008-2009 season.

“Environment Canterbury’s proposed Land & Water Regional Plan also sets new rules specifically to protect and enhance the region’s fresh water, aligning with the community’s aspirations set out in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy,” Mr Drummond said.

“Many of the rules in the proposed Canterbury Land & Water Regional Plan are already more detailed and require a higher level of environmental compliance for farmers than in either accord. However, we acknowledge that the new Sustainable Dairying Water Accord seeks to make progress in a number of related areas and we are very supportive of collective action.”

School notice board

New principal feels at home at Broadfield Tom Doudney

WHEN Mike Molloy was a child attending Sheffield School he had no idea what he wanted to be when he grew up. Now as the new principal of another small rural Selwyn District school, Broadfield, he feels he is exactly where he belongs.

Mr Molloy stepped into the role for the first time this term, leaving behind his job of the last two years as deputy principal, and, for a time, acting principal, of Prebbleton School. A kind word from Prebbleton principal Mike Hogan helped convince him to go for it.

“He came down to my office and said ‘this job is coming out, you’ve got to go for it’, so I was pretty humbled by that really.”

It was a year he spent as a tutor at Blackrock College in Ireland when he was 18 that initially piqued his interest in education.

“I hadn’t really thought of it that much before then. I was one of those people that never really knew what I wanted to do. Some kids wanted to be a fireman from the age of five but I never really had one thing set.”

After a year of studying marketing at polytechnic, he made the decision to enrol in teachers’ college. His first teaching job was

at Queenspark School in Parklands and he also taught at Medbury School in Ilam and Weedons School before arriving at Prebbleton.

Mr Molloy, who lives in Rolleston with wife Anna - also a teacher and their two young children, said he enjoyed being at a small school.

Broadfield’s roll was just 101 and two weeks into the term he already knew more than half the pupils by name.

“I think the thing here is every staff member knows every child and they know them really well,” he said. “That’s a really big bonus of a small rural school.

“There are kids climbing trees, we’ve got a bike track with scooters and jumps. They’re allowed to be kids and take risks more than other schools that I’ve been in and I think that’s something that is really important.”

Although he hoped to advance the school’s information and communications technology, he wanted to wait before making too many changes.

“The biggest focus for me is to really understand the school over the first year before I make any substantial changes because I need to know what is important and what needs to be safeguarded as far as the culture of the school goes.”

More farmers recycling FIGURES released by the Agrecovery Rural Recycling Programme show that more farmers and growers throughout New Zealand are recycling their waste plastics, Agrecovery sales and marketing manager Duncan Scotland says.

In the last six months of 2012, around 6500 Agrecovery members handed over 75,000kg of container plastic and just under 200,000kg of used silage plastics for recycling with Agrecovery.

‘People’s foreign correspondent’ reports from Gaza Activist and documentary film-maker Harry Fear recently visited Christchurch as part of an international speaking tour about the situation in Gaza and his work producing independent reports from the region. Tom Doudney spoke with him before his talk in Christchurch…

“GO back home or I will shoot you.”

The message, announced over the loudspeaker system of an Israeli military vehicle, is chilling and to the point.

Standing across the border in Palestinian territory, Harry Fear announces his British citizenship but it seems to make no difference.

Moments later the small group of Palestinians and internationals, of which he is a part, are forced to flee as a soldier emerges from the vehicle and fires two shots.

The area inside Gaza had previously been designated as a no-go zone by Israel but its recent ceasefire agreement with Palestinian resistance groups was supposed to have put an end to that.

If it wasn’t for Fear’s presence in the group, the incident would likely have escaped outside attention or faded into the background noise of ‘unconfirmed reports’ that typifies Western media reporting of conflict inside Gaza. Instead it was captured on film and broadcast via his Gaza Report website where his videos attract an average audience of almost 50,000 viewers around the globe.

Fear’s coverage of Israel’s offensive in Gaza last November was viewed by around 500,000 people and his Twitter and Facebook accounts have close to 30,000 followers each.

The 23-year-old has achieved this despite having no formal training in journalism and without financial backing from media outlets or corporations.

Fear says he is motivated by what he sees as inadequate and often one-sided reporting from Western media outlets on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

“Some of the reports I’ve made constitute the only English language news reports regarding people’s homes being blown up and things like that,” he says.

“The mainstream media doesn’t really even exist in Gaza and when they go they work in a bubble of professionalism, in a sense. They don’t meet ordinary Palestinians, they don’t usually speak Arabic, they work through Westernised figures fluent in English, they don’t really connect with the culture or the general psychology of the Palestinians. They’re still very much detached in a way that they’re not detached from Israeli society.”

Fear’s expenses on visits to the area – including travel, equipment and other essentials – are

On the job: Harry Fear, reporting from Gaza.

funded entirely by donations made through the website. The funds for his last six-week stay were raised over just eight days.

“It allows me to cover what needs to be covered and say what needs to be said,” he says. “I’m a people’s foreign correspondent in Gaza.”

This year, he intends to make two trips to the area and be there for up to eight months.

Fear says that although he has received offers of work from mainstream media organisations, he has mostly opted to remain independent.

The only exception was some freelance reporting for Russia Today carried out last year, an arrangement he only accepted after a poll on his website showed 75 per cent support from his viewers. He donated the money he earned to charity.

Gaza has not by any means been Fear’s sole focus. His coverage of social justice issues began in 2010 when he filmed his first documentary, again an independent venture.

The 70-minute film, A Matter of Hope, focused on the effects of Aids in a black township in South Africa.

He then enrolled in film school but quit after three months, partly because he had already been offered the chance to make another documentary, this time on the topic of ‘Islamophobia’.

“I thought if they don’t think I need a degree than obviously I don’t.”

The Iraq War and Guantanamo Bay are among other topics he has covered, while in the future he aspires to go to Afghanistan and also to delve into issues such as climate change and the production of electronic goods.

Fear says the positive feedback he receives from viewers both inside and outside Gaza has reinforced his belief in the need for what he does.

“I’ve seen the benefit the work has and it’s way more than I could have imagined. The social benefit it has is enormous.”

Nina Cook Intimate Distance – Portraits 23 Feb ruary– 20 March

Perfect for new Readers

Painting a portrait is a very intimate act, and creating a portrait of someone dear to me adds to that intimacy. With deeper familiarity I am clearer in what I want to say.

Whilst I do like to convey a certain amount of visual realism – a ‘likeness’, I also want to say, or put on record, something about who he or she is. I want most of all, to record fantastic qualities that are often overlooked. I try to capture a vivid sense of a real person’s presence – to cut through superficial pretence and show their deeper selves.

This is largely intuitive.

Distance enables me to intellectualise this information and make technical decisions about how it might be best conveyed.

I greatly admire the old masters, who with the discovery of oil painting during the sixteenth century in Europe, developed and refined techniques that remain unsurpassed to this day.

I use both old and new techniques in my work. Where the media is representative of old, my compositions are based on current knowledge and aesthetics. I love the tension between current content and old classical technique.

Lions bring Ferrymead fun to families Bev Blanche

almost 9000 people enjoyed the free day at Ferrymead Historical Park, courtesy of the Lions Clubs last month.

Money for this day was raised by clubs in the Inglewood district and sent to Rolleston Lions to give the families of Christchurch ‘some fun’.

The ladies of the Selwyn club were part of the

committee that pulled this day together and what eventuated was a wonderful experience.

Every train, tram and bus was in action at the park as well as bouncy castles and slides, vintage games and free lollies for all children – well, a lot of children as numbers attending far exceeded any predictions.

Most heart-warming to the Lions, though, was the comments from parents as they poured through the gates – so many ‘thank yous’ and in some cases tears. Many brought picnics and sat in the shade away from the extreme heat of the day but many others supported the numerous food stalls. There were some dedicated parents

as the queue for Mr Whippy was exceedingly long all day.

All of our members who helped on this day were tired but emotionally charged by the response from some earthquake-weary families.

Bev Blanche is past president of the Selwyn Lions.

Bug watching: Heading out to check the traps.

Ingrid McGeachen WEST Melton Enviro Community recently held a field day at a local farm to survey what insects would be found in the local area.

It has been many years since the area was last surveyed and with so much development in the district we were keen to find out what insects currently live in our backyard, and also compare this to results from some years back.

Young and old were keen to see what the pit traps would reveal. Fifteen traps were unveiled, having been set a week prior. The contents were certainly interesting: skinks, spiders, crickets and even a weta.

Local entomologist Peter Johns commented that the pre-trial traps set before Christmas revealed different results. He could only surmise that recent dry weather had influenced the February results.

The insects are now in the process of being catalogued so we hope to present details of the findings in due course. Keep an eye on our website, www.westmeltonenviro.org.nz, for further updates.

THE Selwyn Wairewa Youth Trust is a charitable trust whose goal is to provide facilities and programmes for the young people in the Eastern Selwyn and Wairewa Little River districts. It also supports the 24/7 youth worker programme at Lincoln High School, which aims to provide role models and support for young people as they make life choices.

Since its establishment in 2009 the trust has been working on plans for building a multi-purpose youth facility that can be used by youth and children’s groups. The building will include a large indoor space suitable for a range of activities such as indoor sports, social gatherings, workshops and movie nights. It is intended to build the facility on land owned

by Lincoln Baptist Church at 530 Birchs Road Lincoln.

The rapid increase in the number of families in the Selwyn District post-earthquake and the lack of purpose-built facilities for young people and children has increased the urgency to get this facility up and running. The goal is to have a safe and affordable space that can be used by those running activities for

Number one: Lincoln High School’s Canterbury touch champs.

Tom Doudney

AFTER being runner-up for the last five years, Lincoln High School’s mixed touch rugby side went a step further this time, winning the recent Canterbury Secondary Schools Touch Championship in Belfast.

Lincoln’s teacher in charge of touch, Stu Gilpin, said the team had probably exceeded expectations and it had been great to see them play so well.

“This year we have a good blend of experience and new players who have really stepped up.

The core of the side have been together for the last three years, so are really hungry for success.”

The team was dominant throughout, winning their pool matches 16-0 over Riccarton High School, 13-1 over Ellesmere College and 9-3 over Linwood College. In the semifinal they

won 9-3 over St Andrews College, the team that had beaten them in the final for the last five years in a row, before downing Kaiapoi High School 9-5 to win the tournament.

Mr Gilpin said the team were lucky to have the coaching expertise of ex-student and current Canterbury Open Mixed touch representative Liam Marama.

Their next goal was to qualify for the national competition with a good showing in the upcoming South Island Secondary Schools Championships, where they had finished third for the last three years in a row. That tournament will be played in March, also in Belfast.

Lincoln’s girls’ team played well in the Canterbury tournament, finishing fifth out of eight teams while the boys’ team finished seventh out of 10 teams.

Regaining race mojo IT’S the busy racing season for many a Canterbury road cyclist when hard training hopefully correlates to peak performance epiphany. But what I’ve recently experienced can rob the mojo to race.

Having your racing bicycles stolen followed by a daily insurance company conversation headache has made training and competition look a lot less attractive and even less achievable. So what is it that a coach would recommend doing to get the all-important mojo back?

Plan. Yup, simply put in one word - plan.

Plan your nutrition, race tactics and psych skills; plan the logistics of competing; plan your gear to be tickety-boo for race day; and lastly, plan the final weeks of training sessions.

Not only do I find having a plan a good way of distracting the mind from that feeling of being demotivated, I find it a means to motivating the mind.

Planning your nutrition, race tactics and psych skills may not be something you’re familiar with but even setting the smallest of these plans in motion will enhance not only your race day experience but also your performance. Having a plan for logistics and gear is something that cyclists often ignore to their peril yet these factors impact significantly on anxiety levels and therefore, once again on your performance.

In regards to your final weeks of training, your gains will be marginal but potential losses huge - so make sure the plan errs on the side of conservatism in terms of physical strain. If you’ve read this far and your mojo is found wanting, try one, a combination, or all of these things. I’m always open to your feedback at paul@christchurchcyclecoaching.co.nz.

ENGINES FROM $200

AUSTRALIAN Billy Raymont and his super Kiwi thoroughbred Stardom made it back-to-back success at McLeans Island taking out Sunday’s Bayer Super League Senior Horse Championship at Showjumping Canterbury’s Championship Three Star Show.

With the event reduced to just the five starters, after local hope Ross Smith opted not to start his stallion Quite Cassini, Raymont and Stardom were in a class of their own. One of only two clears in the first round, the duo were foot-perfect in the second over the big Leicester Jarden-designed track to take the win ahead of fellow Australians Alison Rowland on Bickley Brook Bianca with four faults, and James Arkins on Dreamtime Invader who finished third with eight faults.

Raymont, who only flew back to Christchurch early on Sunday morning to be reunited with Stardom, was thrilled with the win.

“He is such a super horse. He was a little bit fresh. I just can’t believe how well he is going at the moment; long may it continue,” he said.

Raymont’s win came hot on the heels of last weekend’s success, winning the prestigious Rutherford Cup for the New Zealand National Senior Horse Championship at the National Championships.

Honours in the Marion Kelly Memorial One Star Horse Grand Prix went deservedly to Claudia

Hay on her stunning young stallion Euro Sport Centavos.

In the hotly contested Pony Grand Prix it was Emily Fraser and Tony the Pony who reigned supreme, finishing the two rounds on four faults.

Christchurch rider and newly crowned national Pony Grand Prix champion Steffi Whittaker on Moonlight Glow had to settle for second with five faults after picking up one time fault in the first round and four faults in the second.

The show brought the curtain down on a busy season for Canterbury Showjumping.

Dunsandel bowlers enjoy success THE Dunsandel Bowls Club pairing of Sandra Keith and Serena Matthews took their A game to Auckland last weekend when they helped the Canterbury team beat Nelson in the women’s Intercentre final.

Keith and Matthews’ 21-17 win in the pairs was crucial to the cause with Canterbury winning 2-1, after also winning the fours. The

singles match, although uncompleted, was technically awarded to Nelson’s Val Smith, who was leading Canterbury’s Jan Khan 2210 in their match when it was called off.

The win is another feather in the cap of Keith, who last year won the World Bowls Champion of Champions Singles Tournament in Cyprus.
