Council will be reviewing an updated proposal for an extension to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre in Selwyn, along with design concepts for the new Rolleston Library and Community Centre. The two projects were proposed in the Long Term Plan 2018–2028 and previous annual plans. The combined cost of the two projects is about $37 million — making it council’s largest community facility expenditure to date. Property and commercial manager, Douglas Marshall, said the projects are key developments in meeting the
increasing needs of the Selwyn district, as its population continues to grow. “This is a substantial investment in the district, which ensures that two important facilities meet the future needs of all Selwyn residents,” Mr Marshall said. “The message we’ve heard from our community during consultation is to ensure that we are providing the facilities our district needs, not just for today, but also for future generations.” Selwyn’s population is forecast to grow from around 60,000 today to 80,000 by 2028.

The Rolleston Library and Community Centre will be the focal point of the new town centre, to be developed in the vicinity of Rolleston Reserve and Tennyson Street. The facility will feature meeting spaces, enough space for current and future library collections, performance spaces, exhibition and display areas, children’s spaces and research and historical spaces. Mr Marshall said public consultation late last year provided valuable feedback on the features and configuration of the centre. continued on page 3 …

THE FOREST STORY
p Volunteers hard at work during a Te Ara Kakariki Greenway Canterbury Trust plantout day last summer
Forestry has come out of the shadows into the spotlight. Our industry is undoubtedly New Zealand’s main weapon against climate change by locking up vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. We export more than $6 billion worth of forest products a year. And we need to get better at preventing debris going down rivers in floods. Telling our story on television is overdue. So, broadcaster Don Carson is about to take us through what forestry is all about.

Te Ara Kakariki is an incorporated charitable trust with the mission to work with landowners and schools to undertake environmental restoration projects. Work is undertaken mostly in the Selwyn District, focussing first on the Hororata Catchment, Halswell river catchment, with a long-term plan to link up green dot areas across the central plains. Te Ara Kakariki coordinator Letitia Lum said the first plantout day will be held at Reids Pit, at the corner of Weedons Road and Selwyn Road, on Saturday, August 18, starting at 9am. “Reids Pit is the site of a former gravel extraction pit between Rolleston and Lincoln,” Ms Lum said.
“The Selwyn District Council is currently in the process of turning the site into an open community space providing walkways, bike tracks, a picnic area and a native biodiversity area including a Kowhai grove. “Local scouts and community members will plant about 1,200 native plants on the site providing habitat for lizards and invertebrates and to attract native birds. A walkway will also weave throughout plantings once established.” Ms Lum said they would be providing all planting equipment, provide planting instruction and the scouts will put on a sausage sizzle for volunteers at the end.

Informed debate on euthanasia valuable
School loses loved staff member u by Mike Isle
u by Amy Adams, Selwyn MP
Recently I hosted a public information meeting here in Selwyn on the End of Life Choice bill, which is currently going through the Select Committee process in Parliament. The purpose of the meeting was to give local people the opportunity to hear from two Members of Parliament with contrasting views on this topic. The two speakers were David Seymour, the MP for Epsom, who has championed this bill, and my colleague Maggie Barry, the MP for North Shore, who is National’s spokesperson for issues affecting our senior citizens. Both speakers spoke thoughtfully on this topic and presented their respective views about assisted dying to the audience. For those who were unable to attend the meeting and are interested to learn more about this topic, the aim of the bill is to give people with a terminal illness or those suffering from a ‘grievous and irremediable’ medical condition the option of requesting assisted dying. One of the most important issues around this

bill for me personally is making sure that the appropriate safeguards are in place and the law is not capable of being misused. The Justice Select Committee has received many submissions from members of the public, medical bodies and other organisations and the committee is due to report back their recommendations by the end of March next year. I have also received feedback from many people here in Selwyn who have strong views both for and against this bill. In a recent survey that I sent to a random selection of local residents, the majority of respondents stated that they were in favour of giving the terminally ill the right to end their lives. If you would like to get in touch with me to share your views on this bill, you can do so by emailing or phoning my electorate office.
A Rolleston school is mourning the passing of one of its longserving and much-loved staff members. Delwyn Costello, a teacher’s aide at Waitaha School for more than 10 years, passed away peacefully at her Christchurch home on Saturday. Waitaha’s principal, Margaret Dodds, described Ms Costello as a woman of many strengths who brought an immediate openness and friendliness with her when she joined the school. “She loved her sports and was an enthusiastic participant and supporter of the students at all sports events. She had a huge circle of contacts and seemed to know all there was to know about hockey, cricket, tennis, soccer and was a wealth of information for students and staff alike,” Mrs Dodds said. An accomplished cricketer herself, Delwyn Costello was a Canterbury women’s cricket representative, and a New Zealand representative for one test and seven One Day Internationals in the 1980s. Mrs Dodds said Delwyn Costello’s other great passions were music and knowledge of trivia. “She often organised quiz nights and was also an avid performer at staff functions. For several years, she led a group of ‘scrubbers’ who sang and danced for us at staff Christmas functions — at that stage, Delwyn

and two other staff were undertaking cleaning duties — hence the name they affectionately gave themselves. “She was always an individual who danced to her own tune. She wore her own dress code with pride regardless of the occasion, and this reflected her unpretentiousness. “She will be missed greatly, but we rejoice in the fact that she enriched all our lives,” said Mrs Dodds, speaking for the board of trustees, staff and students of Waitaha School. Speaking for New Zealand Cricket, spokesperson Richard Boock said Delwyn Costello’s passing was met with great sadness.

Prestigious conservation award to Hororata couple u by Kent Caddick

p The conservation work on the Hororata property of Olive Webb and Carol Gurney has been recognised with the awarding of the prestigious Diana Isaac Cup Inset: Olive Webb receives the Diana Isaac Cup
The award was created by conservationist and philanthropist, Lady Diana Isaac, shortly before her death in 2012 and the cup was donated to the Te Ara Kakariki Greenway Canterbury Trust. The cup recognises outstanding efforts to weave native plants into the working lands of the Selwyn district. Five dedicated and praiseworthy landowners applied for this year’s Diana Isaac Cup. Bruce Rule and Catherine Ott of The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust handed over the cup to Olive Webb and Carol Gurney, as 2018 winners of the Diana Isaac Cup at a recent meeting of Te Ara Kakariki. “The winning Greendot of over 3,000 native plants stood out for its
well-restored stream, encouraging native mudfish habitat and a wetland restoration area in the process,” the judges said. “Their commitment to sharing their passion with the community is also acknowledged as they often give tours of the property to people popping in, and consequently several neighbours and friends are eager to undertake similar projects returning their land to native landscape. “ On receiving the cup, Olive Webb shared her pleasure that her original plantings were now more than three metres tall and the waterway had transformed from ‘dirty’ to a beautiful environment, which her grandchildren now play in. ¢

Springston School turns 150 u by Kent Caddick
At Labour Weekend Springston School and the local community will celebrate the school’s 150th birthday. The school’s jubilee committee has been working hard to organise a weekend full of events to cater for everyone. The 150th-anniversary events will kick off on Friday, October 19 with a special assembly and afternoon tea, which will be followed by an informal catch up for past pupils at the Springston Hotel. The following day, the school will host a country fete, from 10am to 3pm, and in the evening a Jubilee Jive formal will be held in the Springston Domain. That will be followed by a service at St Mary’s Church, opposite the school on Leeston Road on Sunday morning. Deputy principal, Wendy Hamlin, said any proceeds from the weekend would be donated to the school to provide sunshade, landscaping and play areas for the children. “The jubilee committee welcomes ex-pupils, teachers, board of trustee, community members and current school families to attend all events. “The country fete in the school grounds will be open to everyone and will include Jubilee photos. There will be entertainment, market stalls, pony rides, a bouncy castle and picnic games. Food and drink will also be available.” The idea for a school in Springston began in May 1868, when a group of local landowners and householders
declared themselves willing to form the Springston Education District. Later that year, the first one-room school and schoolhouse were built on Ellesmere Junction Road, with James Gammock donating the land. The opening ceremony was held on October 30 1868, and the school began with a roll of 25. In the early days attendance grew quickly, and by the 1880s there were 186 children on the roll. However, the average daily attendance was only 89 — mainly due to the fact many of children were often needed to help out at home as well as the affordability of the education charges imposed on the families. The school roll fluctuated in the following years with additional rooms being added in 1878 and 1886; however, by the late 1940s the school roll had dropped back to 25, and the school returned to being a single teacher school. In 1956 the construction of a new school on the present site on Leeston Road revitalised the school and the old school was pulled down. The school community decided to mark the occasion by also building a swimming pool. Today the school has a roll of 237, made up of 10 classes that include

p Darfield first five Scott Mitchell strikes the winning drop goal in his side’s semi-final win over Prebbleton
A Scott Mitchell drop-goal early in the second half of its semi-final against Prebbleton on Saturday gave Darfield its spot in this weekend’s final which, along with the other grade finals, will be played at Darfield Domain. Darfield players and supporters would have been having flashbacks to last year’s final when it was beaten by Southbridge through a last-minute penalty as Prebbleton lined up a penalty attempt almost in front of the posts in the 78th minute of the match played at Prebbleton Domain. Fortunately for Darfield fans, the penalty attempt went wide, and Darfield held on to book its place in the final for the second year in a row with a 23–22 win.

Every office and every user has different needs for both hardware and software — make sure you take that into account before you start shopping. Here are some tips to help you to buy a computer. Decide if you will purchase online or in-store Whether you buy a computer online depends upon your comfort level with the purchase of a product you have not seen — especially a product that is expensive. I feel very comfortable purchasing a computer online. You will find a wealth of information via reviews from your fellow consumers. Online reviews are valuable regardless of your location. If you are purchasing a laptop or desktop computer that differs from the product you currently use (eg switching to a touchscreen or tablet computer), I recommend that you visit a store in person to try it out. You may still decide to make your purchase online, but you
will have the added benefit of trying the product out before you buy it. Select an operating system What operating system is best: Mac, PC or Chrome? When choosing a desktop or laptop computer for your smart office, I recommend that you select the option that you are most accustomed to using. Also, you may wish to choose a computer operating system that matches your smartphone’s operating system. There are benefits to syncing files and information you use daily on your smartphone with your computer — Apple iCloud storage, for example. It is also important to consider what software you need for day-to-day business to ensure that it is supported by the operating system you choose. Decide between a desktop and laptop computer Most of the time, desktop and laptop computers have the same capabilities, and you will find that most desktop

Tech this out computers are smaller than they were in the past. No longer will you need a large case for a desktop computer. If you want to stay put with your workspace and do not wish to bring your computer out in the field with you, you may opt for a desktop. The benefit of having a desktop is that it’s easier and more affordable to repair and upgrade than a laptop computer. However, if you need to go mobile and a tablet will not do the job, a laptop is your best option. Choose a processor You have likely heard of many different types of processors from advertisements, but you may not understand what the processor is. Also known as a central processing unit (CPU), the processor is the logic centre of the computer — it acts as the brain and carries out all the computational processes. The faster the processor, the faster your computer will run programs. The higher the gigahertz (GHz) and number of cores, the faster the processor is. RAM is not just a truck Random Access Memory (RAM) can also impact the speed of your computer. Measured in gigabytes (GB), RAM is the most common type of computer memory. It allows your computer to access the data it needs without using the hard drive, which is a slower process. Desktop programs and
internet browsers access RAM to help run processes. The higher the RAM, the better your computer can manage these programs, but there are limitations to the amount of RAM you can have based on the specifications of your computer. It is important to note that you may not need a large amount of RAM. Look at the specifications of the software you use the most and note its requirements. Reviewing the specifications can help serve as a guide for your individual needs. Hard drive storage is huge RAM is different than your hard drive storage. RAM serves more like your short-term memory, while your hard drive is your long-term memory. How much hard drive storage you need depends on your existing computer use and how much you plan to store. You can now get computers with several terabytes (TB) of storage. A solid state drive tends to be faster than a traditional disk drive but has limitations on storage space. If you rely on cloud storage, the amount of hard drive space you need may not be as important. Consider peripherals and ports When is the last time you used your CD/DVD drive? For most of you, it has been a long time. You may not need one any longer, which can save you space and reduce the weight when choosing a laptop.
USB cables continue to be standard ports for computers, but make sure you use the most recent cables to avoid incompatibility and damage to your devices. One other consideration is if you need a built-in SD card reader, or if you are comfortable using a USB attachment. A built-in reader is convenient when transferring data from your
farm equipment to your management software. Some other considerations are whether you need or want VGA and Ethernet. While HDMI is the new standard, you may find that older systems only have access to VGA (although there are VGA to USB adapters), and though most devices have wireless connectivity, an Ethernet connection is more reliable. ¢

Sour note in farm confidence survey
LIFESTYLE BLOCK MOBILE SHEARING
Pessimism about the economic outlook is a sour note among the otherwise generally positive indicators in the Federated Farmers July Farm Confidence Survey. It is the 19th time the twice-yearly survey has been conducted. Federated Farmers vice-president, Andrew Hoggard, said for the first time farmer optimism has increased in all areas except their continuing negative perceptions of the economy. “We should take heart that the perceptions of farm profitability, production and spending have become more positive and that farm debt levels have dropped slightly since the January survey,” Mr Hoggard said. “The concern is that when asked how they feel general economic conditions will fare over the next 12 months, nearly half of the more than 1,100 farmers who responded expected conditions would worsen. “That’s the lowest level of confidence since July 2012 and a five-fold increase in pessimism in the last 12 months.” Mr Hoggard said there seems to be a fear factor at play. “Farmers are feeling very uncertain about what the coalition government will do next on key issues such as water regulations, climate change and industrial relations.” In spite of this, the survey showed expectations for farm profitability over the next 12 months are up slightly, with 30% anticipating an improvement and 48% expect profits to remain stable. Dairy and arable farmers are noticeably more optimistic about
profitability than they were in the January survey. “However, meat and wool farmers are noticeably less optimistic, perhaps reflecting a concern that the past season’s excellent farmgate prices might not be sustained this season,” Mr Hoggard said. The survey, conducted by Research First, found four to six times more farms across the sector groups (dairy, meat & wool, arable and ‘other’) are making a profit versus making a loss. However, more arable farms are just breaking even compared to making a profit, and the number making a loss (9.7%) is equal highest with dairy. In a ranking of their p Federated Farmers vice-president Andrew Hoggard says greatest concerns, regulation their latest survey show farmer confidence is high except in and compliance costs terms of economic outlook remains No 1 (down 3 points “That reflects farmer uncertainty to 18%). Heightened concern about over the Government’s more ambitious pests, diseases and biosecurity (up 7 approach to reducing greenhouse gas points to 12%) is thought to be driven emissions, and concern agriculture by the stress and uncertainty caused biological emissions may be included in by the campaign to eradicate the cattle the ETS even though there are, as yet, disease mycoplasma bovis. no significant mitigating actions farmers “Climate change policy and the ETS can put in place.” ¢ is at No. 3, up 3 points to 10%,” Mr Hoggard said.

Unfair to short-change South Canterbury As Environment Canterbury’s largest constituency, covering an area with significant water quality and quantity issues, South Canterbury should not be short-changed on its number of councillors. That’s according to Federated Farmers who have made a submission to the latest ECan representation proposal to bring the regional council back to full democratic elections. The proposal is that ECan comprises of 13 councillors, two each from four urban and two rural constituencies (North Canterbury and Mid-Canterbury) and one from a South Canterbury constituency. Federated Farmers South Canterbury President, Jason Grant, says South Canterbury deserves to be represented around the ECan table by two councillors, not just one. “We’re saying South Canterbury should have two councillors like the others, and thus the council would have 14 members,” Mr Grant said. “At more than 18,000 square kilometres, the South Canterbury is one third again the size of the two other rural constituencies. “Its sheer size, its diverse landscape and land uses and the pressures coming on for far-reaching environmental protections, particularly in the Mackenzie Basin, mean it’s crucial the area has strong representation at the regional council forum.”
Mr Grant said the Electoral Act 2001 says representation should take into account communities of interest and territorial authority boundaries, as well as being guided by a rule that the ratio of elected representatives to population in each constituency should be within plus or minus 10% of the regional average. “Under the current proposal, the one councillor for South Canterbury’s population of 61,320 is a 30.2% deviation from the average of one councillor per 47,098 residents. “Two councillors in South Canterbury is also a deviation (of -29.9%) but it’s slightly less than the proposed discrepancy, and South Canterbur y’s circumstances warrant it. “The water quality and quantity processes ECan is engaged in are controversial and p Federated Farmers South Canterbury President, Jason Grant, says South Canterbury deserves to be potentially have a great impact represented around the ECan table by two councillor on the economic wellbeing and Mr Grant said it was unreasonable to viability of rural communities. “The Mackenzie Basin issues are a expect one person to get around such particular focus of public interest, and a huge district, and to represent the the needs there are very different from varying needs of South Canterbury in the intensive pastoral and arable land an effective manner that contributes to ECan’s smooth running and success. ¢ uses in coastal South Canterbury.”

Health check for bees to begin Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor is urging the Selwyn’s beekeepers to complete a survey checking the health of bee stocks. Bee colony losses in New Zealand continue to be lower than many other countries; however, annual hive losses have been reported at 9.84% overall compared to international results, which consistently see rates at more than 10%. Mr O’Connor said they are urging beekeepers in Selwyn and around the country to take part in the Ministry for Primary Industries’ (MPI) Colony Loss and Survival survey. “Pollination underpins our primary industries, and the apiculture sector estimates the bees’ busy work is worth $5 billion a year to the New Zealand economy. Bees are also vital visitors to our gardens and parks. “The MPI Colony Loss and Survival survey is an important part of the work the Government and beekeepers do together to understand bee health, losses and beekeeping practice. “Typically only a third of the hardworking apiculture sector of nearly 8,000 registered beekeepers, who look after nearly 900,000 hives, complete the survey. A united sector builds resilience and can take action on the
big issues such as hive overstocking rates, access to floral resources, queen bee performance, seasonal variability in climate and production and pest and disease management.” Mr O’Connor said while bee colony losses in New Zealand are lower than many other countries, they need to monitor trends and collect as much information as possible to protect our bees. “Working with the thriving manuka honey industry, we recently introduced the science definition to protect the integrity of exports, and I strongly believe there is more value to extract from our other native honeys,” he said. “We need to work together to protect the long-term viability of the sector and get more from what we do now.” He said the survey is being held now — as losses are anticipated over winter because there are very few nectar sources at this time of year and give MPI the most complete picture. “Bees are solely reliant on the stocks of honey they have accumulated during summer or supplementary feeding from beekeepers.
p Selwyn beekeepers are being urged to take part in the Ministry for Primary Industries’ Colony Loss and Survival survey
“Honey reserves need to be kept high enough to ensure the colony can stay warm and survive. Even in the absence of any disease, there are likely to be colony losses.” Reasons for colony losses include queen problems, such as death, disappearance or not laying eggs;
management of the varroa mite; suspected starvation of bees (weather and other causes); and wasps and other bee-robbing behaviours. Registered beekeepers will receive the survey from Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research in September. For more information email apiculture@mpi.govt.nz. ¢
