A&P Show a generational affair for Tai Tapu family

Taking care of business: Sophie Geddes attends to the family cows at a show earlier this year.

Father and son: Dean Geddes and son Tom at the same show.

Tom Doudney

DEAN Geddes’ family has been farming Holstein Friesian cattle and entering the Canterbury A&P Show for four generations – and the fifth generation, children Sophie, 9, and Tom, 6 - are showing a keen interest in the annual event as well.

Mr Geddes and his wife Jo have farmed the Tahora Stud Farm in Tai Tapu since taking it over from his parents in 1991. In that time Mr Geddes has forged a proud record at the show, having bred eight Canterbury Show champion cows over the last nine years.

Mr Geddes said passion had been a key ingredient in his

success, while time, money and technology have all played a part.

“Breeding cows now is a lot easier than it used to be. We’ve got access to all the best genetics in the world.”

Mr Geddes could remember looking forward to Show weekend as a child, for the polo events, among other things. Now he’s in charge, he still loves it.

“I think it is it’s a family thing. We do it because of the love of breeding cows and trying to improve the breed and my parents and grandfather have all passed that on.”

The chance to socialise and get a look at what other cattle breeders were doing was also part of the attraction.

The event had changed over the years with the increasing costs associated with taking part meaning that where he used to milk 80 cows and show 20, he would only be showing eight this year, despite milking a heard of around 320.

Mr Geddes said it would be up to his children if they wanted to continue the family legacy, but for now they loved taking part in the Show and looking after the cattle. The 2012 Canterbury A&P show will take place from November 14-16.

News in brief Selwyn’s growing keeps on going

Natural • Safe • Effective Need help for:

SELWYN District remains the fastest-growing territorial authority area in the country, Statistics New Zealand has confirmed, releasing data for the 12 months to June this year.

The district grew by 2.9 per cent over the year, adding 1200 new residents. Part of this was attributed to the relocation of people from earthquake-affected areas.

The second and third-fastest growing areas were nearby districts Hurunui (up 1.8 per cent) and Ashburton (up 1.7 per cent).

However, growth was lower across most of New Zealand in the June 2012 year than in the previous year. The country’s overall 0.6 per cent population increase was the lowest since 2001.

New, larger sections for Rolleston

New development: The location of the planned Levi Park subdivision in Rolleston.

A NEW subdivision offering larger sections is planned for Rolleston.

Levi Park will have approximately 170 sections ranging in size from 550 square metres to 1300 sqm with an average size of about 750 sqm. Work on the 19-hectare site will begin early next year with titles available

by Christmas 2013.

Hamish Wheelans, of Gillman Wheelans, developers of Levi Park, said the development was integrated into the community on several levels.

“Feedback we have been getting is that there are home buyers who would like to move to Rolleston, but the section sizes are too small. This development will give them that opportunity. We will also include public

spaces and propose our trademark public tennis court in the development.

“We are also delighted with the location of Levi Park in light of the planned changes to the main residential gateway to Rolleston with a new intersection being planned for Weedons Road and the main access to Rolleston living zones being via Levi Rd. “Levi Park will be opposite the proposed district park, which will be an impressive 100ha in area,” he said.

Prices for the sections will be released later this year.

Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe was reluctant to comment before seeing details of the development but said the availability of more sections in Rolleston was generally positive.

Baby born on train station platform Tom Doudney

THE platform at Rolleston Station has seen its share of arrivals over the years but the birth of a baby girl recently was perhaps a first.

Rakaia couple Sarah Flanagan and Clinton Watkins were on their way to the Lincoln Maternity Hospital when the baby, who was overdue, apparently decided she couldn’t wait any longer.

“I felt the pain so I rang my midwife,” Miss Flanagan said.

“We arranged to meet her in nesday 31stgot October Lincoln and my kids in the car. We got as far as Rolleston and I knew we weren’t going esday 12th December to make it to the hospital so she just told me to pull over and ring an ambulance.”

Seeing the train station, the family pulled in and made it to the platform.

2p.m.-3p.m.

“I was on the phone to the ambulance people 3.15p.m.-4.15p.m. and she told me to tell my partner to see if

s Group clinics

he could see the head so I was lying on the platform at the train station and he had a look and he could see the top of the head.”

An ambulance arrived and staff were able to assist with the birth, much to the relief of Mr Watkins, who had taken his shirt off and was preparing to catch the baby if necessary.

Miss Flanagan said the baby had not been named yet and the couple were “just sort of tossing up a few ideas now that we can see her and get to know her”. “[Mr Watkins] was going to look up the names of the trains and things like that and try and find a female train name but I don’t think so.”

The baby was healthy and doing well.

“She’s wonderful, absolutely perfect,” she said.

FONTERRA has outlined details of its plans to allow the public to participate in the cooperative’s performance with the release of an offer document for the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund.

Chairman Sir Henry van der Heyden said that for the first time in Fonterra’s history, and with farmer shareholders’ support, members of the public would be able to buy units in the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund.

The co-operative has unveiled details of two key components to support trading among farmers.

These include a supply offer booklet inviting Fonterra farmer shareholders to sell the economic rights of a portion of their shares to the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund and an offer document (registered prospectus and investment statement) inviting the public to gain exposure to the co-operative’s performance by purchasing units.

Sir Henry said the fund would support

Weather puts dampener on spring fair

Prize winner: This Lego replica of Hororata’s St John’s church was made by Will and Henry Freeman and entered in the Creative Kids competition.

THE annual Hororata Spring Fair was held in very wet, snowy and cold conditions on Labour Day at the St John’s Church Hororata. Despite the weather a number of hardy locals braved the conditions and enjoyed the event.

Approximately $5000 was raised on the day for the Hororata parish. Organisers said that while this was a good outcome considering the conditions, it was under half of what the event

was expected to achieve.

The parish has decided to hold a Twilight Christmas Fair on Friday, December 7, at the St John’s Church grounds, Hororata from 5pm.

The fair will feature Christmas carols, stalls, children’s entertainment, a barbecue and the Country Auction, which had to be postponed due to the weather.

liquidity in the Fonterra Shareholders’ market, allowing farmer shareholders to trade Fonterra shares among themselves with a more flexible structure, rather than buying and redeeming them from the co-operative.

“This will provide permanent capital for Fonterra and reduce redemption risk, while preserving 100 per cent farmer control and ownership of the co-operative,” he said.

The co-operative has forecast a dividend for the 2013 financial year of 32 cents per share.

The indicative price range implies a 2013 financial year gross distribution yield of 5.8 per cent to seven per cent.

Fund chairman John Shewan said it was “important to note that this is an opportunity to invest in units issued by the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund, and is not an opportunity to acquire Fonterra shares. However, the return on a unit is essentially dependent on the performance of Fonterra”.

Historic setting: Lincoln University’s Generations event was held in the Wigram Air Force Museum.

Lincoln celebrates generations TWO hundred people including alumni and distinguished guests turned up to celebrate 134 years of Lincoln University at the Air Force Museum in Wigram on Saturday night.

The ‘Generations at Lincoln’ event focused on the unique generational relationship of Lincoln University graduates. For instance, while three to four generations are common, some families have up to five generations who have attended the university.

One of those ‘five generation’ families is the McCaw family. In attendance at the event were two of those generations – current Alumni Association president Jo Spencer-Bower, her brother, current All Black Richie McCaw, and their father Don McCaw. Don’s father, James (Jim) McCaw, was also a Lincoln graduate, as was his father before him, Alexander McCaw. Alex enrolled in 1912; however, the family’s connection goes back even further – to their great-great-uncle Basil Seth-Smith, who enrolled at Lincoln in 1892 for a Certificate in Agriculture.

NEVER MIND THE WEATHER David Loyd is the creator of unique garden art and sculpture.

He is constantly on the look out for new discoveries, both in subject matter and artistic techniques. David’s creativity is ignited by nature. He fills his art with flora and fauna which he brings to life in intriguing and humorous ways.

Born in England, he moved to N.Z in the early 70s. His early work was in the arts and craft arena, exploring several different mediums including leather, glass, wood and metals. David’s interests have shifted from the production of the functional; footwear, leather bags, glass lighting fixtures and jewellery to the more whimsical, using recycled materials with a mainly sculptural focus.

David says “There are certain things in our day to day lives that we just have to do, “Never mind the weather” Getting in wood for the winter fire, shopping and paying bills. The seasons come and go with all the ferocity nature can chuck at us sometimes, we, like our animal friends just have to carry on.

As I watched a pair of starlings building their nest one wintry morning as the rain and wind lashed against the bedroom window, making it difficult for them even to fly, they returned frequently with beaks full of nesting materials......they carry on regardless of the weather.

Watching seabirds as they search for food on the stormy ocean buffeted by high winds and huge waves. They don’t worry about the weather either.

We have all been through a lot in the last couple of years, and have been forced to make changes and accept life as it is now with all its complex issues and compounded difficulties”.

We too have to carry on.” Never mind the weather”

speakers: former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Don McKinnon and Everest mountaineer Mark Inglis. Sir Don studied agriculture and valuation and farm management at Lincoln from 1960 to 1961, and was also vicepresident of the students’ association during that time. Mr Inglis was capped in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in biochemistry.

After reminiscing about his time at Lincoln, Sir Don spoke about the fundamental importance of food and land to life and harmony in the world.

“The connection between food supply, land availability, land use and political stability/ instability is clear wherever one looks in the world,” he said. “Hungry people become angry people. Landless people lose not only the means to feed themselves, but also their sense of identity. They too become angry. We see it everywhere.”

Lincoln University had a part to play in providing research, knowledge and skills for the expansion of environmentally sustainable

production to help feed the world, contributing to political stability.

The vote of thanks was given by scientist, winemaker, paralympian, charitable trust director, author and Mount Everest climber Mr Inglis.

Mr Inglis first arrived at Lincoln in 1979 to do a Parks and Recreation diploma; however, he decided to put the diploma on hold and launched into work as a search and rescue mountaineer at Mount Cook National Park. He then returned and completed a biochemistry degree.

Before proposing the final toast to future Lincoln generations, Mr Inglis noted that for him, “Lincoln is about opportunities, and they gave me an opportunity after my climbing incident to have a future in science”.

Guests included three alumni who studied at Lincoln as far back as the 1940s and the three chancellors since Lincoln became a university in 1990 – past chancellors Sir Allan Wright and the Honourable Margaret Austin and current chancellor Tom Lambie.

Lincoln University student selected for future leaders programme LINCOLN University’s Sam Swaffield is one of just 19 graduates from Australasia to be selected for the I-Grad Future Leaders programme with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG).

Each year IHG identifies potential high fliers from some 1000 applicants for the 12-month I-Grad programme. During the year the I-Grads work across food & beverage, housekeeping and front office. On completion of the programme, the graduates are placed into a role that matches their specific skill set and aspirations.

“This is exactly where I wanted to be when I finished uni,” Bachelor of Commerce student Mr Swaffield said. “The chance of getting on this programme is small as there are only a few places and everyone wants one. I am really pleased to have this opportunity. I am heading back home to Auckland for my I-Grad year, to the Crowne Plaza Auckland. At the hotel, I’ll have the general manager as my coach as well as getting on-the-job experience and exposure to all areas of hotel management.”

Dr Anthony Brien, senior lecturer in Business Management in the Commerce Faculty of Lincoln University, wasn’t surprised at Mr Swaffield’s selection.

“Sam is an excellent candidate for the programme and future general manager of a hotel. Within his Bachelor of Commerce degree, Sam is majoring in hotel management.

He has the intellect to go far in the industry, but Sam also has the leadership qualities, EQ and personality to do exceptionally well in this highly demanding but rewarding sector.”

IHG’s HR manager responsible for the New

Sam Swaffield

Zealand I-Grad selection process Georgina Nicholas said the programme was highly contested because it was open to highpotential existing staff members as well as new graduates.

“Emerging talent is crucial for any organisation but especially in our industry. Our people and the service they provide are what makes our 4500 hotels across the globe stand out. The I-Grad Future Leaders programme is one way that we can select and develop some of the best talent in the industry.”

Ice worlds: Researching Earth’s frozen frontiers For centuries, the Antarctic and Arctic ice caps have seemed almost unconquerable – the last areas of the planet to escape man’s onslaught and remain relatively untouched in their natural state. However, with climate change, tourism and the search for untapped resources threatening to change all that – and fast – understanding these places and our relationship with them may never have been so important. Tom Doudney talked to Lincoln University scientists Peter Almond, Emma Stewart, Gary Steel and Vic Metcalf about their work in the polar regions.

PRISTINE, precious and breath-taking are the sort of words often used to describe Antarctica.

For most of us, having grown up with images of gleaming blue and white ice shelves in pictures and on TV, they’re sentiments we can easily relate to.

For soil and landscape processes researcher Peter Almond, such words take on a more than sentimental level of significance.

“You can easily be dropped off in a helicopter on a land surface that’s three million years old and it’s made up of this interlocking fabric of desert pavement that has never been touched for that period of time and you step onto it and you sink into it and you destroy it.”

In a situation where just walking from one valley to the next poses an ecological threat, Mr Almond is starkly aware that the benefits of field research must be carefully weighed against the damage done in carrying it out.

In the age of climate change, the work of Mr Almond and others is important partly because, as he explains, if you want to understand how the soil life will be affected in the future, you need to know what is going on now.

“The Antarctic Peninsula at the moment is one of the places of fastest temperature changes on the planet. At the Dry Valleys which we’re closer to at Scott Base, those large temperature changes haven’t yet been felt. There is a certain buffering capacity to having a whole lot of ice around and that’s one of the reasons why change is likely to be faster in the future.”

At the other end of the world, human geographer Emma Stewart has been working with Inuit communities to develop a code of conduct for the ever-increasing numbers of cruise ship visitors that turn up in the Arctic

each year.

With influxes of exploration vessels, oil and gas companies and others expected, she and her colleagues are now looking to broaden the scope of that code.

“The north-west passage has been ice-free for the last number of summers, so all eyes are on the Arctic for its resources,” she says. “It has become an increasingly busy place.

“There’s concern that there’s a Titanic-sized disaster waiting to happen of course and that will be an environmental as well as a culturaltype catastrophe.”

As marine biologist Vic Metcalf and her fellow researchers have found, Antarctica is also becoming a busier place and not without consequences.

“Around the research bases there are actually very, very high levels of some pollutants, including pesticides, flame retardents, personal products – as high as any North American major city.”

Worryingly, these chemicals are showing up in Antarctic fish, which Ms Metcalf says underscores the need for changes to environmental practises.

Her other research has focused on observing and predicting the effects of environmental changes on Antarctica’s delicate marine ecosystems.

“We have all these major stresses – the climate, the carbonate levels, the ocean acidification, we’ve got fishing activities, other man-made activities – all coming in and exerting a huge amount of pressure on these exquisitely balanced ecosystems and you just play with one of those dials and you’re going to have a flow-on effect.”

A rising tide: As shipping traffic increases in polar seas, so do the issues that go with it.

While the scale of human impact around the poles may be ramping up, one positive thing the researchers have noticed is a strong public interest in Antarctica - something that was apparent during their involvement with the recent Antarctic showcase Icefest, held in Christchurch.

“Christchurch is a sort of gateway city to Antarctica and people have connections – friends and family they know who’ve been there, scientists they know who have been there – and they’re engaged in these sorts of things,” Ms Stewart says.

The pool of money supporting research,

already small and widely dispersed, has been tight in recent years with Antarctic New Zealand’s logistics funding having been capped for the last few years and set to remain so for at least two more years.

While other New Zealand universities have formally recognised Antarctic research centres, Lincoln as yet does not, but Mr Almond says they are working towards achieving that.

“We’re a small group in a relatively small university that is trying to build a focus on land and we view land in the broadest context that land and its connected oceans in Antarctica are part of that.”

Historic moment: Lady Rhodes cutting the ribbon at the newly built Selwyn Bridge.

How it was: Mr A Amor towing a car from the Selwyn River.

A bridge in fewer than 50 years The town of Selwyn is the oldest in Ellesmere, being two years older than Leeston. This month, the settlement on the banks of the Selwyn River will celebrate its 150th anniversary. Among the challenges faced by early residents was a battle with bureaucracy over the building of Selwyn Bridge, as Dunsandel Historic Society president Mike Noonan writes.

NO doubt residents of Selwyn Township who saw Lady Rhodes cut the ribbon and attended afternoon tea in the goods shed at Selwyn station, at the opening of the traffic bridge across the Selwyn River in 1927, would have looked back to an event that occurred 43 years previously. That was a meeting of the Rakaia Road Board, which agreed about the necessity of a traffic bridge in the vicinity of

the township and urged local road boards to co-operate. Two years later, the same local boards declined to co-operate in urging the Government of the necessity for the bridge.

Also, there was no success in having a sum placed on the Estimates.

Ten years passed (1896) before the Selwyn County Council suggested the Ellesmere Road Board take the “initiatory steps necessary”.

Ellesmere replied saying that it was up to the Government.

By 1919 the new Selwyn County was using the bridge proposal to try and repeal the grossly unjust clause nine of the Act that broke up the large Selwyn County Council into smaller counties who now received lower subsidies than other counties in New Zealand.

The Automobile Association was so keen to have a bridge to stop its members being stuck in the river and have Mr Amor charge to tow cars out with his horse or having to detour to the Leeston Road bridge downstream, that it offered to help financially. Throughout, arguments occurred about whether to build a light wooden structure or a concrete one.

By March 1920, the bridge was “practically

Schola Cantorum to celebrate 25 years THE Schola Cantorum choir, pictured right performing in Hampden, Otago, recently, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a concert and ‘Big Sing’ on November 3 at West Melton’s Nut Point Centre.

Three of the choir’s past conductors and the current director Roger Buckton will take part in the concert.

The fifth conductor, Chris Burns, who is now living in the United Kingdom, will take part via a video link-up.

The concert also introduces young emerging conductor Jodie Phaal.

In the second half of the concert, the ‘Big Sing’ will see the audience

joining in for several items including a Christmas carol and Roger Buckton’s arrangement of Toch’s spoken fugue – 26 Reasons to love Canterbury.

Schola Cantorum was founded in 1987 by Harry Abbenhuis with the object of singing mostly medieval and Renaissance vocal music.

The concert will begin at 3pm. The cover charge of $15 includes drinks and nibbles. Bookings can be made by emailing scholacan@gmail.com.

For further information contact Roger Buckton on 342-3995, 021 062-0642 or email Roger.buckton@ canterbury.ac.nz.

assured” according to the local MP, but by June the Minister of Public Works said he had more important bridges to build. In 1925 the Highways Board allocated the cost of a concrete bridge between the Government and local councils but a £15 temporary tree trunk bridge was put in.

Work on the bridge started in November 1926 and 144 10-metre concrete piles were driven into the river bed by September 1927. The opening occurred two days before Christmas in 1927.

Community groups

Tai Tapu residents make enviro-plans ABOUT 30 local people turned up to the first Enviro Tai Tapu meeting held recently in the Tai Tapu School hall.

Steve Matheson, chairman of Tai Tapu Community Association, provided an overview of the evening and reminded all in attendance that the Envirotown concept was one that aimed to work with all the existing groups in the community to achieve common objectives.

Karen Blatchford, the teacher responsible for enviro issues at Tai Tapu School, showed a video the children had created on environmental activities in the school. A shortened version of this will be entered into the Earth Hour Selwyn video competition. Dr Sue Jarvis provided some background on how the envirotown concept was created and the fantastic achievements across the Selwyn District.

We then divided into smaller groups and time was spent considering the key issues for the community and brainstorming ideas to focus on.

It is clear that the attendees value the environment in which they live and want to retain that. Altogether about 50 ideas were generated (see summary below).

A follow-up meeting will be held in November to move forward on some of the ideas generated and to set up a committee to work on a community action plan.

In 2013 it is likely the Enviro Tai Tapu group will host community information/consultation evenings, visits and other meetings and start working on actions.

If you would like to be part of this exciting development in any way contact Steve on 0275 366-101.

Like about Tai Tapu: Village life, size and atmosphere; rural community spirit; proximity to city amenities; the river, peacefulness, space, enhanced by plantings; low population density; native plantings (keen to see more); limited social issues as we know the kids; like the rural aspect; want to stay as a village; small community, safe; sustainable community (population).

Dislike about Tai Tapu: Too many cars; no more residential sections on farmland; low-level land, flood-prone; sewage should not go into river, better plans needed.

Action ideas: • Encourage carpooling (school)/carpooling website, other transport options, reduce emissions.

• More native plantings, more natural

Thinking caps on: Tai Tapu residents brainstormed the future of their envirotown at a recent meeting.

• Farmers market, community garden.

• Support to retain library and church in Tai Tapu.

• Time banking scheme.

• Community day once a week, free, bring something for entry.

• Future - native birds, more biodiversity, socially interactive community, thriving community involvement in domain.

• A safe way for kids and prams/bikes to get from village to domain.

• Public rubbish/recycling bins.

• Cycle lanes.

• Opening up the environment, more pavements.

• Collect and recycle cell phones.

• Community green waste.

• Focus on kids’ involvement and pick some easy activities to entice change.

• Logo competition for school.

• Fruit trees for the school.

• Lower speed through the village, both main road and side streets.

• Improve communication, via website, etc.

• Cater for walkers and cyclists.

• Household eco improvement awards, nominate neighbours.

• Grow and sell local produce.

• Develop river walkway, use as linkage to domain etc.

• Playground for kids.

• Horse riding, issues with traffic.

• Sewage should not go into river, better plans needed. Need a clean river so it can be safely used.

• No cows on riverbank.

MORE than 450 people attended the Selwyn Parenting Network (SPN) Family Fun Day on Thursday, October 4, at the Lincoln Event Centre. At 10.45am the bouncy castle was ready for bouncing and helpers from The Warehouse Rolleston had arrived to help.

As more people arrived, Fairy Rainbowlily started her magical performance for all the younger girls and boys. At noon the second entertainer for the day, comedian Adrian Kirk, started performing his truly hilarious show for all ages. The cute miniature ponies arrived and soon there was a large queue of eager children.

Unfortunately, not all got a ride.

After her performance Rainbowlily started

painting faces with beautiful hearts, butterflies and flowers and the like. I spoke to one of the children and the six-year-old said, “It was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.”

This day wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for SPN and their amazing sponsors, New World Lincoln, The Warehouse Rolleston, Presbyterian Support, Selwyn District Council and The Mad Butcher Riccarton. Of course, thank you to all the kids and parents who came to the Family Fun Day and to all the grandparents also.

Natasha Coia, aged 11, is the daughter of SPN coordinator Andrea Coia.

Scouts develop leadership skills at Mt Hutt Dave Tikey

The rest of the term is going to be a busy one with all sections making the most of our new den and the summer months to get outside and take part in everything from bonfires to raft races.

Our Venturers section is preparing to participate in ‘Venture’ where groups from across New Zealand, and overseas, join together to participate in a series of adventurous activities.

Rolleston Scouts will be looking to start new sections on the first term next year so if you would like more information or to be added to the waiting list come and see one of the leaders at our meat wheel stall at the fireworks or contact Dave (03) 347-9068.

SIXTY scouts aged between five and 15 attended the Rolleston group’s camp at Mt Hutt retreat last weekend. For many of the younger Keas it was their first camp and for the older Scouts and Venturers it was an opportunity to develop leadership skills.

Starting with an evening walk into the hills and returning under torchlight was a new experience for many. An early start on Saturday morning with low rope course, 200metre flying fox, archery, water rockets and abseiling were some of the activities that filled in the day before the rain started.

Anniversary concert hits right note Singing their hearts out: Fifty years of entertaining was celebrated on the Lincoln Women’s Institute’s 80th birthday when they recently held their annual concert for the seniors of Lincoln and other invited guests.

The costumes and backdrop as usual were bright and colourful and the songs brought back many memories.

It was a superb afternoon’s entertainment of song, organ medleys and a skit, which brought much laughter. A delicious afternoon tea rounded off a wonderful show.

Headaches aren’t caused by a

lack of painkillers!

H

eadaches and migraines are two of the most common reasons that people go to see a chiropractor. Local chiropractor Greg Sullivan explains that headaches are often the result of pressure on the spinal nerves at the top of the neck and the resulting pain and discomfort can be hugely detrimental to people’s quality of life.

Greg says that one of the most rewarding parts of his job is seeing people regain their quality of life again after receiving ongoing chiropractic care for headaches and migraines. He emphasises that the results can be dramatic and that many people often suffer unnecessarily from headaches and migraines for years because they don’t think anything can be done about them.

Research into the treatment of headaches and migraines with chiropractic care shows that it can be effective. One study compared two groups of headache patients, half went for chiropractic adjustments and the other half took a medication often prescribed for the treatment of severe tension headache pain. After six weeks, researchers found that chiropractic patients experienced almost no side effects and only the chiropractic patients continued to report fewer headaches when treatment ended.

Chiropractic is one of the largest and fastest growing health and wellness professions in the world. It is 100 per cent natural and focuses on helping the body to help itself by removing interference in the nervous system.

Greg Sullivan of Rolleston Chiropractic is proud of the difference he can make

With a smile: The friendly staff at Rolleston Chiropractic welcomes you to their clinic.

to people’s lives and strongly believes that people need to take more responsibility for ensuring that their bodies are working as well as they should be. He urges people not to t a k e painkillers on a daily or regular basis while ignoring the cause of the pain – treat the source of the pain! How many headaches do you have to put up with before doing something about them? If the underlying cause of your headache is in the neck then all the pills in the world won’t fix it.

Tai Tapu girls in hunt for T20 title Tom Doudney

TAI TAPU School’s senior girls’ cricket team will have a shot at a national Twenty20 title after coming second in the South Island finals last week.

The result means they qualify as one of four teams to play in a national finals series to be held in Palmerston North at the end of November.

The team had been playing knockout tournaments since the start of the year in their road to the South Island finals. In their first finals match they beat Otago’s Blue Mountain School in a tense contest, which came down to a bowl off, before again tasting victory against Nelson’s Waimea College in their second game.

Although they lost their final game to fellow national finals qualifier, Christchurch’s Heaton Intermediate, their passage to the national finals was already assured by this stage.

Tai Tapu School teacher and team coach Chris Els said it was a fantastic result for the team.

“It’s a huge achievement. The girls are absolutely over the moon.”

‘

Bring on the nationals: Tai Tapu School’s senior girls cricket team were elated after their strong showing in the South Island Twenty20 cricket finals.

The cycling scene with Paul Odlin

paul@christchurchcyclecoaching.co.nz

Road cycling’s ‘darkest hour’?

ROAD cycling has come under intense scrutiny through public and social media recently. I refrain from seeing it as road cycling’s ‘darkest hour’, but it is a time to gain a thorough introspective into it.

Not many sports have been through a global crisis like this, and one that provides an opportunity to truly improve its morality and market share of the sporting world. But, and it’s a big but, sacrifices must be made, not acceptance, and now.

I know Lance’s fall from grace hurt so many cycling fans, but the writing was on the wall.

Current Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins put it best by likening him to Father Christmas: “As you grow up and time passes you become to believe in him less and less”.

So, too, with a man’s performances achieved while the majority of his competitors and teammates were linked to infamous ‘drug doctors’ or convicted for doping.

This introspective period has illuminated a previously suppressed opinion that dopers past and present should be banned and brought a

call for the heads of cycling, namely president of the UCI (International Cycling Union) Pat McQuaid to resign.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that during the darkest years of doping, the UCI stood by, accepting it and allowing it to happen. To rub salt in the wound (until an external investigation commission established only last Friday to examine various allegations made about UCI relating to the Armstrong affair), only the bare minimum - ratifying USADAs Armstrong ban - had been achieved.

What looks increasingly more essential to cycling’s future is a ‘truth and reconciliation’ process that would weed out not only past dopers but also those responsible in cycling organisations that have allowed doping to occur (doctors, team managers and coaches).

Those guilty might not necessarily need to leave the sport but come to justice. Only this way will Armstrong’s fall from grace and cycling’s ‘introspective hour’ be fair and worthwhile.

Lincoln and Delhi pen sporting agreement Lining it up: Selwyn player Kayla Thomas has a shot at goal against Canterbury Red.

Taking them on: Selwyn’s Georgia Birch trying to beat a Marlborough defender.

THE Selwyn 14th Grade Girls football team are the toast of the region and Selwyn Football after winning the South Island 14th Grade Girls Football tournament held recently at ASB Football Park in Christchurch.

The girls were well coached by Stephen Hunt, who had them all working together as a team and playing some attractive football.

A great team effort saw the girls go through the tournament unbeaten and rock-solid defence meant that they only conceded one goal in six games. In the pool games they beat Canterbury Black 3-1, Marlborough 1-0, Southland 2-0 and in the last pool game, having the luxury of knowing they had already finished top of their pool, drew with Otago 0-0.

Selwyn played Canterbury Red in the semifinal and after a slow first half, things clicked in the second half and they ended up with a comfortable win. While the score was only 1-0, they created a number of chances and weren’t really threatened in the second half.

In the final, Selwyn again played Canterbury Black in a match that was hampered by miserable weather, forcing officials to shorten

the game for player safety. At the end of normal play neither team had managed to score a goal but Selwyn held their nerve to win the penalty shoot-out 4-3 and claim the trophy and gold medals.

Team manager Neil Orsbourn said the team had shown great spirit and understanding on the pitch. “They aren’t just a bunch of players coming together, they are a group of friends playing football. It was a great team effort and they all played their part.

“They may have been the smallest team in the tournament but the saying which I gave them, ‘It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog’, really applies to this team. Believe me these girls never give up.”

At tournament’s end, the team had played six games for five wins and a draw, scoring seven goals and conceding only one.

For most of the team this was their second South Island Tournament win in three years.

Eleven of the 15 in the squad were part of the successful South Island 12th grade girls winning team in Blenheim in 2010.

A MEMORANDUM of understanding signed last week between Delhi University in India and Lincoln University and the Asia Pacific Football Academy (APFA) will see benefits for all, proponents say.

“This ‘educational partnership agreement’ opens the door for collaboration between the two universities in the areas of sport and sports science – in particular, in partnership with the Asia Pacific Football Academy, which is based on Lincoln University’s campus,” Lincoln University vice chancellor Stefanie Rixecker said.

“The agreement outlines several areas of potential exchange including player and coach training programmes, joint academic or research projects for postgraduate or doctoral students and exchange visits for students and staff. The first programme of activity is scheduled to take place in the next few months and will be run by the Asia Pacific Football Academy for football players and coaches.”

Delhi University has over 40 football (soccer) teams and the partnership between APFA and Lincoln University means Delhi University’s top sports performers will be able to receive intensive, tailored training.

APFA managing director Andy Smith said the first team to visit would be Delhi University’s top women’s team.

“Eighteen players plus high-performance coaching staff will visit APFA later this year or in early 2013 for three weeks of training, testing, sports science and conditioning,” he said.

The agreement was signed on behalf of Lincoln University and the APFA by Education

She travelled to India as part of a Government delegation to lift New Zealand’s profile as a destination for international students and to support New Zealand’s tertiary institutions and companies seeking to grow their business in the Indian market.

Ms Rixecker said there were many potential areas of collaboration between Lincoln University and Indian tertiary institutions, particularly with Lincoln’s focus on land-based studies.

SUPERB weather accompanied a magnificent weekend of motorsport at Powerbuilt Tools Raceway, Ruapuna, celebrating the Wigram Revival historic and classic car and motorcycle race meeting.

The event got underway on Saturday morning with a presentation by Mayor Bob Parker to motor race legend, 71-year-old Kenny Smith, who continues to entertain Christchurch enthusiasts at the highest level.

Still competing in two classes and fitter than most half his age, Smith defies advancing years and is a four-time winner of the Lady Wigram Trophy.

He once again competed in the feature race last weekend and raced qualifiers and six races covering more than 60 laps at top speed.

A large banner was presented to Smith thanking him for the entertainment he has provided to so many across more than 40 years of competing against the best in New Zealand.

class to this meeting provided the opportunity for Smith to take out the Wigram Cup for Libre single-seaters under 2500cc. He didn’t need any further encouragement and went on to win the cup and acknowledge the memory of John Hawkins, long-time motorsport scribe who passed away in 2011.

It was a different story in the feature race, where the coveted Lady Wigram Trophy is awarded to the first Formula 5000 car home after 15 laps of the Powerbuilt circuit.

Fifteen superbly presented historical big slicks, big wings and big engine period race cars thundered out of the starting blocks with pole sitter Steve Ross from Dunedin driving his yellow McRae GM1 leading the way. He had set best lap times and won the lead in races as his car and smooth driving dominated all weekend.

The Wigram Revival meeting attracted over 200 drivers and riders from all corners of New Zealand and over 10,000 spectators across the three days.

Cost-effective solutions with

Residential Irrigation Services “I rrigation systems are often installed and then forgotten, but they need regular maintenance and servicing to operate efficiently,” says Residential Irrigation Services owner Damon Jones.

“Watering on a regular basis is better than dumping lots of water all at once and less is more.”

Irrigation doesn’t have to be expensive.

There are options with smaller manuallyoperated schemes to larger more sophisticated automatically controlled systems.

“When building new homes people often think of the irrigation after the garden and lawn have already gone in, obviously it is better to plan right from the start of the project,” he says.

Damon set up Residential Irrigation services, after working in rural irrigation, in January 2011, to focus primarily on residential homeowners for garden, lawn and landscape irrigation.

After the earthquakes, the Christchurch City Council imposed watering restrictions, so people could not use their systems to avoid putting a strain on a fragile water main system.

“A lot of systems have not been checked after the earthquakes and many will be damaged or not function properly.”

Residential Irrigation Services are supplied

by Bailey Tanks and Baileys Rainwater Diverters – these collect and store free water from which customers can irrigate their lawns and gardens.

“Rainwater recovery is new to Christchurch (post-earthquake September 2011). I believe that every house should have one of these systems. If nothing else it provides water in an emergency situation and the water can also be pumped into the house for toilet flushing and washing clothes.”

Harvest the rain: Residential Irrigation Services owner Damon Jones stands beside the water tank system installed for Kidsfirst Kindergartens Hoon Hay.
