Hard at work: Harvest at Thornhill, the Carpenter farm, in Prebbleton’s early days.

ONE of Selwyn’s fastest-growing towns, Prebbleton, will celebrate its 150th anniversary this month.

The Prebble family first settled in the area in 1852, but it was 1862 when John Norris-Tosswill subdivided part of his farm and donated land for a school and church, marking the start of the village proper.

The Prebbleton Heritage group has organised several events between October and December to mark the occasion, including a visual display individually highlighting each of the 15 decades of history since the village’s formation, a children’s artwork competition, and a tree planting by members of the Prebble family.

Daphne McAven of the Prebbleton Heritage group said the town’s rapid growth made it particularly important not to forget its significant history.

“With all the subdivision out here we just

felt we were going to lose our village and in years to come people would never know that there had been a village called Prebbleton here named after a family of Prebbles.”

The heritage group, consisting of Mrs McAven, her husband Derham, and Averil and Graham Carpenter, had spent 10 years collating historical information. Along the way they built up a database of around 3000 historic photos.

The group wanted to pay tribute to the early settlers, who Mrs Carpenter said had undertaken a “massive task” in settling the area.

“They’d sailed at least 100 days from England, they came here with their minimal belongings, they had to walk [the Bridle Path], barge their goodies down from Ferrymead to Christchurch, get horse and dray and come out here and make a home.”

Prebbleton’s historic buildings came

through the earthquakes reasonably well , with only the Union Church facing demolition.

Prebbleton School principal Mike Hogan said the pupils had submitted around 200 pieces of writing and art for the occasion. It was important that the school played a part, he said.

“The school and the community are one.

The school is part of its community and the community is part of the school.”

Several descendants of the original Prebble family will be involved in the commemorations. Two of those, Walter and Hamish Prebble, told Selwyn View they were pleased to see what was happening and appreciated the work done by the Prebbleton Heritage group.

Hororata two years on Tom Doudney

TWO years after the earthquake of September 4, 2010 shook its buildings to pieces Hororata is forging a reputation as the little town that could.

Being close to the epicentre, Hororata was hit harder than other parts of the district, with many of its public and historic buildings, private businesses and family homes either badly damaged or destroyed.

For a small town of fewer than 300 residents, moving forward after such an event could seem like quite some mountain to climb.

However Hororata Trust chairperson Dr Olive Webb said community spirit and the success of the Hororata Highland Games had raised both funds and spirits while allowing locals to take a hands-on role in the recovery.

Last year’s Highland Games had enabled the Trust to put some money into helping the district’s schools Hororata, Glentunnel and Windwhistle.

Deciding how further funds could best be used to help the township would be the subject of ongoing discussions with the community.

“Do we want to just build again what we had or do we want to have a think and say ‘for the 21st century do we need something different?’ and without prejudice one way or another, the trust is hoping to ask these questions.”

A survey conducted around six months after the earthquake had revealed key concerns to include the lack of a community centre and other meeting places and questions over the future of the historic St John’s Church, which had suffered serious damage.

“The church is repairable and I think that people care very passionately about the church and that it is restored - whether exactly the same as it was is up for debate

because again it is an opportunity to do things a little bit differently but like anything related to the Anglican Church there are issues of governance and we’re just waiting to resolve those before we go forward.”

Vicar Jenni Carter was adamant the building would be restored with the only question being when.

“It’s an iconic building. It was built with the money which was given by John Hall, one of the first prime ministers of the country, and it has incredible iconic significance for the community.”

Dr Webb said that while the earthquakes and the follow-on issues with ECQ, insurance woes and living with damaged buildings had affected some people more than others, there was no doubt it had brought the already tight-knit community even closer together.

“Were certainly seeing out there the resilience thing that ‘ok, we’ve had an earthquake and ok our life has changed and ok now we need to get on with it’.”

The community had adapted to the new normal with Damaged: Hororata’s historic St John’s Church after the September 4, 2010 Hororata School now being the focal point for community earthquake. meetings and the former café being remodelled to replace the town’s pub, a casualty of the earthquake, as a social hub for locals and visitors from further afield.

Jarnia Kupe, who owns the Hororata Village Bar and Café with her husband Jason, said the success of the business reflected what was happening in the rest of the community.

“We’ve had new families come in and you see them at the cafe and people are really happy and loving the mood,” she said.

“It’s really gone from a little bit of despair to just a wonder now. They’ve really picked up and everyone seems to be motivated again.”

Wrong shoes for Flying high a treat for children a good cause

That’s odd: Student at Rolleston School got into the spirit of Odd Shoe Day and raised money for a sick fellow pupil.

ODD Shoe Day was a national fundraiser held on September 14 by Camp Quality, a non-profit organisation for enhancing the lives of children with cancer.

Year 6 Rolleston School pupils Caitlin Adams, Maia Broughton, Aaliyah Bryce, Cassidy McIntosh and Keely Janson organised their school’s participation, and in the end $1545.30 was raised.

Half the money was given to the family of a school pupil suffering from neuroblastoma to aid them in their fight, while the other half was donated to Camp Quality at the family’s request.

CHRISTCHURCH children from schools affected by earthquake-related issues and the Ministry of Education’s recent shake-up got to leave their cares on the ground this week with free flights over the Canterbury Plains as part of a Salvation Army holiday programme.

The light aircraft flights were put on by the Canterbury Aero Club from its West Melton

Aerodrome over three days this week.

The Salvation Army, which is working with 16 Christchurch schools to provide holiday programmes and other assistance, arranged and funded the flights out of its earthquake response fund.

Salvation Army Earthquake Response Unit manager Bruce Coffey said the organisation wanted “to do something

for the kids to bring some fun into their lives”.

Emmanuel School pupil Jessie McKerrow, 9, pictured, said the best part was “flying right up into the air since everything was so tiny”.

Around 245 children took part in either the flights or farm visits this week as part of the holiday programme.

Last Afghanistan deployment farewelled FRIENDS and family of Burnham Military Camp soldiers gathered on Tuesday last week to farewell New Zealand’s next deployment of troops to Afghanistan.

Military personnel had been busy all

morning preparing for the official sendoff for the 140 soldiers, who will serve for six months. It is the 21st rotation for the provincial reconstruction team based in Bamiyan Province.

Major General Dave Gawn, Commander Joint Forces, said “there will always be a threat” and “there will always be challenges” from a security perspective while in Afghanistan.

FOR the past 10 or so years the word on the street has been that the dairy boom will go bang and Canterbury will be left with a raft of farms with wide access ways, no trees and a very expensive shed that wouldn’t even be any good for storing hay.

In other words, farmers would be walking away from farms no other style of farming needs or wants and there would be a massive drop in property values.

Luckily for everybody concerned, those talking the industry down have been proved wrong.

Canterbury is quickly becoming the dairy centre for the whole of New Zealand.

While the Waikato folk strutted their way around the country singing about how they were the big fish, Canterbury has quietly built herds that are in the thousands rather than the Waikato herds numbered in the hundreds.

Service companies are now talking about moving their head offices down here rather than having a branch office.

Obviously, that will ensure a lot of employment for locals and an influx of out-

of-town people shifting here, bringing demand for housing and more families to feed here in Christchurch, adding to the huge volume of people who are on farms already.

Then take a look at the other spin-offs; many dairy farmers spend up to $1500 a day on electricity during the irrigation season, the capital costs of the irrigation units would buy a very special home in the city, and some farms have several.

Country schools are coming alive again because many dairy farm workers are young people with families.

There are huge volumes of capital being invested in dairy factories in Canterbury and that won’t stop as volumes of milk continue to increase.

Cropping farmers have a very lucrative market for silage and winter feed for the cows, and that flows down through the firms who sell the seed and the machinery used to plant and grow it all.

Dairy farming has a very well-organised career system. Those wanting to own their own farm can literally start at the bottom and work

their way up through the ranks building capital in stock and profit-sharing with land owners.

That may mean shifting farms with every year or so, but the end result is Rob Cope-Williams farm ownership, a conclusion that would never have been met by traditional means.

The fact that Canterbury is home to the share milker of the year, the junior dairy farm worker of the year, and the dairy farm manager of the year suggests that we have a load of talent here.

Last week, Synlait Milk won the prestigious Champion Global Operator Award for large to medium enterprises, and so the story of dairying in Canterbury continues to gain momentum and respect.

However, I am sure that the Canterbury lamb will never be totally replaced by black and white cows.

Japanese fluency wins award First equal: Year 13 Lincoln High School student Jono Mingard, left, was placed first equal with Burnside High School’s Yoon Joo Lee, right, in the Konnichi Wa Senior Speech Competition, held recently at the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT).

The competition is sponsored by the Japan Foundation, the Consular Office of Japan and CPIT, and contestants need to be able to attain a nativespeaker level of fluency in the language.

The annual competition was not held last year because of the impact of the Canterbury earthquakes.

The earthquakes were also the topic most contestants chose to speak on and a 4.2 tremor interrupted the start of the competition.

Christchurch’s Japanese consulate head of mission Minoru Kikuchi is also pictured.

Service to assist job seekers launched SELWYN District Council is launching Employ Selwyn, an expanded service for local young people needing career coaching and support.

The programme, which is partly funded by the Ministry of Social Development, has expanded the eligibility criteria and now supports young people between the ages of 16 and 25 with career-related decision making.

“We saw that there was a need for expanding the previous service, both in terms of the age group we were targeting and to look at potential career plans for clients,” career coach Jennie Down said.

Those plans would also be practical, with Mrs Down helping young people to research where they would need to be located to achieve their goals or further their qualifications.

Selwyn has no central government services designed to assist young people located in the district.

“This is a really important time in a young person’s life,” Mrs Down said. “They might still be at school, or have left and tried a couple of jobs that really didn’t suit, or they might have finished a qualification and are now figuring out how to get a job. Sitting down to think about their futures with some guidance

can make a huge difference.”

Mrs Down emphasised that she was not a recruitment consultant. “My role is to support these young people in helping them make good choices. We might do career searches, I might assist with job applications, provide support for work experience or take them to visit a potential employer. It’s about people making decisions that are right for them.”

Mrs Down will operate Employ Selwyn from an office at the Lincoln Baptist Church, 530 Birchs Rd, from 8.30am to 5pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and on Wednesdays by appointment.

Lincoln University ‘generates’ a first with alumni function NEW Zealand’s third-oldest university – Lincoln, founded as a school of agriculture in 1878 – is holding its first-ever ‘generations’ function for past students, staff, current students, family members, friends, supporters and community and industry representatives.

Called ‘Generations at Lincoln’, the event is being held at Christchurch’s Wigram Air Force Museum on Saturday, October 27.

Alumni relations officer Penny Curran said the event was focused on the university’s “unique generational aspect”.

“Because of its specialised land-based courses, and because of the special role of the land-based industries in rural and urban New Zealand, Lincoln University has been the university of choice for generations of New Zealand families.

“Going back through the past 133 years, there are instances of five generations of some families being represented among students here, and four and three generations are common.

“The current president of our Alumni Association, Jo Spencer-Bower, nee McCaw, is an example of a five-generation family member who was a student here.”

The Air Force Museum venue will allow the university to also celebrate and remember

the lives of former students who served in the Air Force during the Second World War – like the Alumni Association president’s grandfather, Flight Lieutenant Jim McCaw DFC. Nearly 300 former Lincoln students, who had been enrolled up until the war years, served in the armed forces and over a quarter were in the Air Now and then: Lincoln University’s Ivey Hall has been the site of many Force.

Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit marks 50 years THE Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit (AERU) at Lincoln University will celebrate 50 years of research leadership this month, hosting an event with past and current staff, government officials and key stakeholders.

Originally named the Agricultural Economics Research Unit, the AERU was founded in 1962 as a research division within the university’s commerce programme.

From 1962 to 1970, many of its research efforts focused on the need to increase primary production in New Zealand in order to achieve a higher quality of life.

Between 1971 and 1975, farm management and the effective use of rural resources were the subjects of many of the reports published.

Between 1976 and 1985, an increase in market research reports was commissioned by industry entities to help determine market demand and projections.

AERU was at the forefront of research to help land-based producers adjust to the new economic environment after the economic reforms initiated by Roger Douglas.

Throughout the 1990s, the traditional AERU research agenda was extended in response to the changing environment, to address issues such as producer and public perceptions of food production technologies, and developing concerns in agriculture such as pesticide use.

In recent years, the AERU has investigated a diverse range of issues that affect quality of life and economic performance in New Zealand.

Recent research is using market research techniques to explore the desirability of particular attributes of New Zealand products Early days: AERU staff using a computer in 1963. in various overseas markets. Publications have focused on subjects as diverse as the economics of wellbeing, agricultural sustainability and climate change, factors affecting employment and many other areas of economics and sociology.

Joint programme seeks to eradicate plant pest

Ready to roll: The first container of whole milk powder is loaded, bound for Lyttelton Port and China.

First Darfield milk off to China THE first 37 containers filled with 940 tonnes of high-quality whole milk powder have left Fonterra’s new manufacturing site at Darfield, headed for a customer in China.

Canterbury operations manager Richard Gray said the site had progressed from bare paddock to producing high-quality milk powder in just over 18 months.

“Our first milk powder is off to China for use in dairy beverages. It’s a proud moment for the whole team,” Mr Gray said.

“To date we’ve produced over 6000 metric tonnes, and our quality tests have come back 100 per cent first time.

“The first month of operation is all about testing the plant under a range of operating conditions and ensuring a smooth transition between our contractors and the operations team. We’re happy with the progress.”

The site’s operation team was continuing to work with key contractors to ensure all design requirements were met as the season headed towards its peak in October.

“At peak, our milk tankers deliver 2.2 million litres of milk to Darfield Drier 1 every day,” Mr Gray said. “This is turned into whole milk powder at a rate of 15 metric tonnes per hour.

“Once the milk is processed into powder, it is packed into 25-kilogram bags, placed on pallets by a robot arm and then in containers and on to Lyttelton Port.”

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury, the Department of Conservation and the Christchurch City Council are working together on a long-term project to eradicate Darwin’s barberry from Otahuna in the Selwyn District.

Darwin’s barberry is a spiny, evergreen (semi-deciduous) shrub that grows to around four metres high. It is distinctive from July to December with its bright yellow/orange flowers followed by purple berries that are eaten and spread by birds.

Darwin’s barberry is a target pest in highvalue biodiversity sites due to its ability to establish in disturbed areas within intact forest and persist in the understory and canopy. Once established, Darwin’s barberry can prevent native plants from regenerating beneath it.

Anyone who thinks they may have seen Darwin’s barberry within the Otahuna area or other natural areas on Banks Peninsula can contact biosecurity staff on 0800 EC INFO.

SHEEP will be the focus of an open day in Burnham this month, but not just any sheep – black and coloured sheep.

The Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders Association’s national open day will be held from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, October 14.

The association was formed 35 years ago by a group of farmers and there are now 12 branches nationwide. The Mid Canterbury branch holds monthly meetings and workshops on how to look after the sheep and what to do with the wool.

DARFIELD ARTWEEK The 31st Darfield Artweek promises to be another ten days of enjoyment on Friday October 5.

Norman Sinclair, and an exhibition of works by Vicki Knudson and Maureen McCann at the Darfield Library provide a feast of art for everyone to enjoy.

“It marks the start of Artweek and with three concurrent exhibitions we once again look forward to a festival atmosphere in Darfield,” says Malvern Community Arts Council chairperson Kirsty Peel.

The Darfield Artweek Festival provides a great opportunity for a day out in Darfield. Take time to choose your favourite artwork and vote for the people’s choice award, plus have the opportunity to win the lucky draw. Free entry to all three exhibitions allows families to visit and appreciate the breadth of talent in their community. Children also love choosing their favourite work.

“Darfield Artweek is about encouraging all artists whether just beginning or accomplished to have a go and get that special thrill of seeing their works displayed,” says Darfield Artweek co-coordinator Ruth Warren. “It is an art extravaganza, certainly the largest exhibition held in Selwyn and there would be few small provincial towns in New Zealand that host an art exhibition of this size and standard incorporating works in all media in both two and three dimensions.”

The annual Artweek exhibition of nearly 400 artworks by Canterbury artists, held at the Darfield Recreation Centre, along with the Selwyn Gallery exhibition showcasing the works of Lorraine Natusch, Annabel Menzies-Joyce and

The official opening of Darfield Artweek is always a very festive occasion when the awards winners are announced.

This year it is on Friday 5th October at 7pm. Tickets are $10 if bought at the Selwyn Gallery prior to the opening or $20 at the door.

The Darfield Artweek exhibition at the Recreation Centre runs from October 6 to 14, and is open from 10am to 5pm daily except Friday, October 12 when it is open from 10am to 7pm.

Selwyn Gallery hours: 10am to 5pm.

Darfield Library hours: 9am to 5pm weekdays, and Saturday 10am to 1pm.

A brief history of Prebbleton PREBBLETON takes its name from the Prebble family, who were the first European family to settle in the area. Richard and William Prebble bought the first piece of land to be surveyed in 1852 and they were later joined by their younger brother Edward.

The land was covered by tussock and some small shrubs but once that was cleared the land was very fertile. High yields of crops, especially wheat and oats were recorded. There was a shortage of harvesters to gather the crops and so immigrant cottages were built to provide accommodation for more workers.

Sheep were grazed and the inspectors’ records show they were very healthy and lice were not found. Many famers also kept a pig as well as a cow. Later, several dairy farms were established, which provided milk locally and also for the dairy factory at Ladbrooks.

A school was established by Mrs Slater in

her home in Marshs Rd in 1857 – meaning that schooling in Prebbleton predates the village.

The village proper formed in 1862 when John Norris Tosswill subdivided part of his farm and donated land for a school and a church.

When more children wanted to attend Mrs Slater’s school, a chapel school was built on the land donated by Tosswill. Evidently this became too small so it was sold and moved to Longbeach where it is still used today. A new school and the All Saints Anglican Church were built by Benjamin Mountford.

About 1926, the school in William St was condemned and a new school was built on the site where it remains today.

Prebbleton had three churches – Anglican, Presbyterian (later Union) and Methodist. The Union Church was damaged by the earthquakes and will be demolished.

A swimming bath was opened in 1891 at Mr

GrAIN & sEED

The Grain and Seed section of the 142nd ellesmere Show will be one of the most impressive to be seen. ellesmere is a very important district producing outstanding quality grain and seeds thanks to great soils, water and skilled growers.

Milling wheat for bread, malting barley for brewing beer and a high proportion of the worlds hybrid vegetable seeds, clovers and grasses are produced here.

With a large swing to dairy, the cropping industry has responded by producing quality feed grains. also with dairy the increasing acreage of fodder beets has prompted us to

(Convenor – Geoff MCfadden) reintroduce a class for this in our Potatoes and roots Section which is alongside the Grain and Seed, in the PGG Wrightson tent near the southern end gates and sheep pens.

There are several impressive trophies to be won. Some of these are for class wins and some are for overall points in “Grain and Seed” and “Potatoes and roots” along with “Special Prizes” to be awarded. The Grain and Seed Section would like to thank all entrants and sponsors for their continued support to the ellesmere a & P Show.

wooDChoPPING

Woodchopping is an extremely popular event at the ellesmere Show, attracting a large amount of spectators to see approximately 30 competitors in action.

Throughout new Zealand, woodchopping relies on small bands of dedicated people to keep the heritage sport going, and in front of the public.

The Canterbury axemens association will be running the meeting at ellesmere, which involves more than just turning up on the day to chop logs!

The logs have to be sourced, cut down, peeled and stored all before the meeting, with all members volunteering their time.

The ellesmere Show Committee also spends considerable time and effort preparing the grounds, sorting out the requirements to host

the event, and most importantly, gaining sponsorship.

Generous sponsorship has been secured from a range of local businesses including a W Scott (rakaia), allied Water Systems, ellesmere Motor Bodies, Canterbury Waterproofing and McMillan Water Wells, and the Canterbury axemens association thanks them kindly for their contribution. events being run at the Show this year will include Standing and Underhand Chops, Single and double Handed Sawing, and the ever popular Tree event.

EllEsmErE A&P show 2012 sAturdAy octobEr 13th lEEston showgrounds

crt “mustErchEF” comPEtItIon (Convenor – ALASTAIr BArneTT)

The Marketing and Promotions Committee of the A & P Association is again very excited to be hosting the hugely successful celebrity CRT “MusterChef” competition. The competition will be held within the Show’s main feature tent and is the brainchild of Chef and Food extraordinaire, Mr Paul Robinson of ‘Food Solutions’ and CPIT. Paul is a chef of significant talent and a great entertainer and excels in working with a variety of people whether they be students, private individuals, the public and larger crowds.

He has presented at many food shows both within New Zealand and abroad and previously at the Ellesmere Show.

Last year’s event was very entertaining and attracted large crowds throughout the day to see local school principals Wendy Huriwai (Southbridge) and Linda Taylor (Leeston); former and current Canterbury Rugby reps Fergie McCormick and Joe Moody, MP Amy Adams and Councillor Pat McEvedy, show off their culinary talents. It was a highly contested event with Amy Adams coming out the eventual winner in a close final against Wendy Huriwai.

The CRT “MusterChef” competition this year aims to focus on the preparation of food that fits with this year’s Show theme ‘It’s Your Show’. The event is

proposed to follow the format of six local celebrity competitors ‘cooking off’ in three heats as follows: 10.30am - food demonstration and tasting - Paul Robinson 11am - first MusterChef Heat, consisting of two celebrity contestants preparing a dish and having it judged by the crowd in conjunction with Paul Robinson.

11.45am - second MusterChef Heat 12.30pm - third MusterChef Heat 1.30pm - final 3pm - winning contestant from the final heat is announced at the start of the Grand Parade and then is paraded around the show ring in the parade in a vehicle.

Contestants include: Sam Broomhall – Manager at ‘Think Water’ and a former Canterbury and All Black rugby player; Local school principals – Peter Verstappen (Southbridge) and Gavin Kidd (Ellesmere College). Further contestants are to be confirmed.

CRT will again sponsor the event, being the well-known rural-based business within the Canterbury and Ellesmere areas.

Home based care and education

Home based caters for 0 to 6-year-olds, they have ratios of 1 to 4, with mixed age groups all in the same home.

This care is very personal and more like an extended family member caring for children. This care suits young children, and children needing special transitional care.

Home based hours are very flexible depending on the Educator you choose. There is more opportunity for casual or rostered hours to be catered to.

Fees for home based care ranges from $6 to $7 per hour.

Visitor centre heart of national park NO matter how long you have to spend in Arthur’s Pass, be it a short stop on your journey along the Great Alpine Highway or a few days, pop in to the visitor centre and we are more than happy to offer you suggestions for your next adventure into our backyard, be it the 10-minute walk to the Millennium Falls or a multi-day epic.

Open every day except Christmas Day, the Arthur’s Pass Visitor Centre is the heart of the surrounding National Park.

Gazetted in 1929, Arthur’s Pass National Park was the third national park in New

Zealand and the first in the South Island.

Favoured by many due to its stunning landscapes, flora and fauna and short distance from Christchurch, Arthur’s Pass quickly became the weekend playground for nature lovers and recreationalists alike.

However, if the weather isn’t to your liking, the visitor centre has various displays (including a short audio-visual) about life, adventure and the history of this special part of New Zealand.

Caravan derby event draws near ONLY one weekend to go until the day of destruction at the Ellesmere Motor Racing Club, which begins on Sunday, October 14 (the rain date is Sunday, October 21).

It has been 23 years since we hit the record books with the first-ever Caravan Demolition Derby in the Southern Hemisphere and we are very excited to once again put on an awesome display of motorsport at its craziest in the Selwyn District.

We have only one survivor from all the competitors entered into pervious derbies at Ellesmere Motor Racing Club - Richard Carrodus, who this year is re-entering his seriously upgraded vehicle, the red Mercedes, which stayed on the Springston Hotel trailer last year.

You have seen the advertising and may have wondered what exactly they do in a Caravan Demolition Derby. Well it’s quite simple – the drivers’ aim is to tow around their ‘Happy Camper’ and try to protect it as best they can while taking out the opponents, while also trying to avoid the huge amount of carnage and debris on the track and the massive ditch that surrounds the entire circuit.

These events are hilarious to watch and very rarely seen, as our competitors will fight to

save themselves and their vehicles. The winner will be the last one to get across the line with the minimum of a drawbar and chassis. It will take a lot of driver skill and a lot of luck to get over the finish line.

We have been most impressed with the amount of interest in competing, all from the general public, who obviously see this as a chance to experience the thrill and exhilaration of motorsport in the extreme.

Gates open at 10am with the first race at 1pm.

This will be a cheap day out for the whole family with gate entry only $10 per adult, $2 for 12 to 15 years and under-12 free. A family pass for $20 is also available. There will be a lollie scramble for the children during the day.

So get a few mates together and come down and join in the action of all your favourite

The event is sponsored by the Springston supporting classes, and of course the outrageous event that will have you rolling Hotel. with laughter on Sunday, October 14 - just Ellesmere Motor Racing Club. follow the signs from the Leeston Hotel.

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.

Microsoft Word headers and footers tips CONTRARY to Microsoft’s promise of easier access to features in Office 2007/2010, many people have found one or two things harder to do in the latter versions such as, for example, inserting the document’s filename and path into a header or footer. On the flip side, you can now save a header or footer and use it in other documents.

A quick way to insert the filename and path The quickest way to insert the document’s filename and path is this: press Ctrl+F9 to insert a blank field, type filename \p, and then tap the F9 key. And there it goes!

Save a header to reuse in other documents Create the header - include text, graphics and fields and format these to your taste. Select the header. On the Header & Footer Tools Design tab, click Header. Click Save Selection to Header Gallery. Type a name for the header.

Click the Category arrow and then click New Category, type ~My Headers and click OK twice. The next time that you need to use the header you’ll find it at the top of the headers list.

If it’s a footer that you want to save, follow the same steps, replacing “header” with “footer”.

About Liz Todd Liz Todd has been helping people achieve more with their Microsoft Office software since the late 1990s through face-to-face training courses and her comprehensive range of self-paced training manuals.

Liz’s extensive Microsoft Office knowledge is a result of her research into best practice techniques, her own need to complete computer work as fast and painlessly as possible and the questions asked by her clients. If you have a Microsoft Office question, email liz@cyberkeys.co.nz.

Technical Categories and You Building and Housing* deals with building legislation and controls.

It provides information and advice about building regulations.

It has divided the residential green zone into three technical categories TC1, TC2 or TC3. If you live in the flat area of the residential green zone your property is in one of these categories.

What are foundation technical categories?

What do they mean for me?

Site-specific foundations are not unusual.

They are a guide to the level of site investigation required and the most appropriate foundations for your home.

Houses with appropriate foundations will perform better in future earthquakes.

Your builder can use standard foundations for concrete slabs and timber floors.

If you are in TC1

If you are in TC2 Enhanced concrete foundations are needed and there are templates in Building and Housing’s guidance. Standard timber foundations can be used for houses with lightweight cladding and timber floors.

What was the basis for deciding which areas were TC1, TC2 or TC3?

The boundaries were the result of intensive research and analysis based on a mix of historical and post-earthquake data, including geotechnical investigations, observed land and building damage and groundwater depth.

If you are in TC3 and your foundations need to be replaced There is no one-size-fits-all option. You need geotechnical advice from a chartered professional engineer and site-specific foundations designed for the ground conditions.

Designing foundations to suit ground conditions is not new. There are many other areas of the country where local authorities require specific engineering design for foundations. Foundations designed to suit to ground conditions are a sound investment to safeguard your home for the future.

Repairing foundations Not all foundations will need to be replaced. The guidance gives a range of options for repairs. You may need to consider replacing heavy roofing and cladding materials with lighter options.

This will reduce the load on your foundations.

Foundations for TC3 homes Building and Housing’s guidance recommends three types of replacement foundation for homes in TC3.

They are: deep piles, site ground improvements, and surface structures with shallow foundations.

Chartered professional engineers will be able to determine what is the most appropriate foundation type for each property based on geotechnical information.

Deep piles down to depths of up Ground to 20m or more level Concert floor

Solid bearing Loose layer soil

Short piles Ground level Concert floor

Compacted soil Loose soil

Deep piles

Ground improvements

Loose soil (gradual densification of soil layers) to solid bearing layer

Compacted layer of strengthened soil

Ground level Timber floor

Concrete footings Plywood perimeter bracing

Short piles

Light-weight re-levellable platform

Concrete underslab

Loose soil

Ground level Timber floor

Short piles

Compacted gravel raft

Loose soil

Light-weight platform with underslab

Deep piles

Site ground improvements

Surface structure with shallow foundations

Deep piles are already widely used in parts of Christchurch in peaty areas or areas where there is soft ground. They can down as far as 20 metres.

Site ground improvement options aim to strengthen the land to create a better building platform. Once the land is strengthened, you can use standard TC2 (concrete slab or timber) foundations.

There are several options. One example is to construct a timber floor on shallow or short piles and wrap the perimeter foundation with plywood sheeting to provide bracing against earthquake shaking.

* Building and Housing is part of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Remember – build it once and build it right. For further information go to www.dbh.govt.nz The groundwork for good decisions.

“Women who undergo cancer treatment just want to feel like themselves and a real-hair wig can make such a huge difference to a woman’s self-esteem during this difficult time.

Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths is a great way for women to rally together and show their support by donating their hair,” says general manager of Look Good Feel Better, Yvonne Brownlie.

Pantene Ambassador Barney Martin says as a hairstylist he knows how much women value their hair.

Join Pantene Beautiful Lengths and help support women battling cancer by growing your hair longer and stronger to donate.

eading haircare brand Pantene will launch ‘Beautiful Lengths’, a campaign in partnership with the charity ‘Look Good Feel Better’, to encourage Kiwi women to grow; cut and donate their hair so it can to be turned into real-hair wigs for women undergoing cancer treatment patients.

More than 10,000 women are diagnosed with cancer in New Zealand every year.

By partnering with Look Good Feel Better,

a free service dedicated to teaching cancer patients techniques to help restore their appearance during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Pantene will fund the creation of real-hair wigs by helping women grow beautiful hair to donate. Pantene will work with Look Good Feel Better to distribute these wigs across New Zealand.

Hollywood actress Naomi Watts is joining forces with fellow Pantene ambassador and leading hairstylist, Barney Martin, to encourage women across the country to skip a trim and grow their hair longer and stronger before donating their ponytails to Beautiful Lengths during National Donate Your Hair Week, which launches next month on November 12.

“I can only imagine that being diagnosed with cancer is terrifying, and if we can support women undergoing treatment by cutting and donating our hair to provide them with a realhair wig, that’s a difference I hope many of us will make,” says Naomi Watts.

“I’m really proud to be part of Pantene Beautiful Lengths and bring this fantastic cause to New Zealand.”

There are many ways to show your support for the Beautiful Lengths program in New Zealand. To make a donation, your hair must be at least eight inches long, less than five per cent grey and cannot be coloured or chemically treated.

eans are terribly useful in the garden. Climbing beans can quickly cover walls and sheds with wonderful green leaves and pretty flowers, followed by a bounty of beans. A bonus is that they fix nitrogen from the air into the soil. Lastly they are an easy-to-grow mainstay crop, coming in a wide range of shapes, tastes, sizes and textures.

Beans can be grown in the vege garden and in large tubs, raised beds or even hanging baskets and troughs if the containers are large enough.

My childhood memories of beans vary from quite lovely to horrid. I loved picking beans – climbing up and down the bean frame to reach them was fun. But that’s where the joy ended. What happened to the beans postharvest was criminal. Mum would boil runner beans until they were a pale grey and expect us to eat them. Even smothered in cheese sauce, I struggled to get them down.

because of this I don’t have a dedicated bean patch in my garden. But many do, and I can see why. Beans have a huge cropping capacity and produce for a long time.

The choice of what to grow can seem endless. Choose a bean or beans that suits your garden and the style of cooking you enjoy. Broad beans are a cold hardy crop so sow seeds in late autumn and through the winter months.

Summer beans can be divided into two main categories, bush or climbing. Runner and climbing beans are quick growing but need lots of room as they can easily reach up to 2m in height and need a support structure or plant to grow up. North-facing fences are a good option as well as trellis, stakes, wigwams (teepee-like) and bamboo. Even though these beans crop for a long period, the beans are at their best before they get too big as they become stringy.

Maximise space by using other tallergrowing edible crops, such as corn or Jerusalem artichokes, to be the support structure for beans to twine through. In warmer areas, ‘scarlet runner’ beans can be grown as perennials but be aware that after a few years vigour and harvest may decline.

WHO IS LESTER HALL?

From the popular Kiwiana beauty of “Wahine” to the dour victorian morbidity of “Boogieman” Ngati Pakeha Inks have been “a wonderful journey into what it might mean to be Pakeha” says Lester. Describing himself a long time outsider artist who also positions himself as a social commentator on the evolving identity of Aotearoa.

Lester uses his Ngati Pakeha prints to invite all New Zealanders to come with him into this discussion.

The depth of his conversation, as to what it is to be Pakeha is not found in any other popular NZ artists conversation. “Cognizant understanding of the possibility of unity in “The Third Space” is what Aotearoaland is about.

“There is no place for “contempt before investigation” in a sound cultural philosophy”. Provocative, intelligent,

EARL TuTTy

In the past Earl Tutty’s work has often drawn on nostalgia, personal or universal. He works across a variety of genres, from pop styled renderings endowed with witty or provoking substance, to landscape and gestural portraiture in memory of figures iconic of an era and location. The recent series of earthquakes severely damaged his studio & home making painting difficult. In an attempt to brighten up his surroundings he started buying bunches of lilies and soon noticed the beautiful colour, detail and abstract shapes in each bloom. The

This gives me joy because one of the primary reasons I started cycle coaching was to educate cyclists on how to race better. I educate people to consider that if you are willing to spend a mortgage’s worth of money on a 7kg carbon fibre machine and sacrifice precious time away from your partner/family/friends so you can achieve your physical potential, then make the effort when it really counts. Unfortunately, many cyclists fear the failure of not succeeding (in a race); ‘smashing your mates’ in training, when there isn’t the pressure of competition, however, does not carry such risk of failure.

I believe once you’ve experienced the euphoria that comes with winning a bike race through not only physical ability but cunning and nous, you’re less likely to risk all to come first.

And this, people, is the true beauty of road racing.

Train to race, don’t race to train EVER heard this old adage? This advice refers to the fact that your training rides, aside from having a purpose (e.g. to recover, build aerobic endurance or a different energy system), are not meant to be races. You are training your body to race through progressively overloading then recovering at appropriate times.

There is always a place for ‘racing your mates’ on a training ride but what I witnessed recently gave me great joy (and despair) when experienced cyclists I rode with demonstrated that there are those that subscribe to the ‘race to train’ theory.

Let me explain. Recently, on a 60k journey back to Christchurch after a 105k club race, these ‘experienced’ cyclists proceeded to increase the speed… continued to increase the speed… OK, now we’re riding at a ‘rip my legs off’ speed. I was completely stuffed and flabbergasted at the physical ability of these guys. Great demonstration of strength and endurance but where did they come in the race? Nowhere!

For someone whose work is about bringing together collections of objects, artist Anna Church is not really a collector herself. Collator certainly, curator indeed, creator for sure, and composer definitely.

Church has what many would enviably term, a superb ‘eye’ - an ability to group objects to form compelling, thought-provoking and ultimately beautiful compositions. For a number of years Church has used these abilities in her work as both an artist and freelance stylist.

2011 sees Church launch a new series of limited edition prints titled ‘At Your Service’. It is the much-awaited

investigative prints from a Pakeha man on 21st century New Zealand’s cultural, philosophical, racial landscape. Born in Wellington, New Zealand in 1956, a self supporting artist for the last twenty years. Lester painted and studied New Zealand history and Maori/ European/Pacific centric artwork all of that time.

Working as a design and display technician with the most extensive and important collection of Maori and Pacific artifacts in the World at the Auckland Institute and Museum.

Typically, to retain autonomy of expression his inks are printed in house by him and are often subject to change so fall outside the usual restrictions that numbering and collating create.

results of his observations and the recording of images taken on his phone make up the photos in his latest show, Pic. He is a tutor at The School of Art & Design at CPIT All images are taken and adjusted on an iphone 4s All photographs are printed on 310 gsm Hannah Muller German Etching paper and printed on an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 Ph 021 1155695

follow-up to her highly successful 2008 series of prints ‘For NZ’s Sake’. This is her first exhibition at the Little River Gallery, Canterbury.

As a stylist, Church has been engaged by many of New Zealand’s leading interiors magazines. She has worked on spreads for NZ House & Garden, Your home & Garden and Life & Leisure . She has also lent her eye to advertising campaigns and catalogues for the likes of Trelise Cooper, Citta Design and Warwick Fabrics.

For many years Church has lived on Waiheke Island in a gorgeous home with her husband Nick and their two children Molly and Thomas.

have a go

Our new addition, the “Have a go Car” is ready to hit the racing track at Ellesmere Motor Racing club.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a racing car driver for a race? Well here is your chance to have a spin around the track yourself for a real racing experience, alongside other drivers in the Hobbie saloon class?

If you think watching racing from the safety of your own car is fun, then you should try it from the cockpit, at least once in your lifetime.

For the cost of $60.00 you too can “have a go” in a car all ready with no work involved, and all the gear provided, just pre-book and turn up, it’s that simple.

You will need to drive under a CTRA License, which will be issued on the day and attend the drivers briefing with all other competitors.

Bookings in advance are essential so to reserve your seat in the cockpit phone Bridget on (03) 324 2287 Or email bridget.roxburgh@hotmail.com A big thank-you to Rusty Liddell Builder, who donated the car, Henson Motorsport crew and Brad Gordon and Ron Koole who have built and worked tirelessly to get it up to specification.
