Darfield and Leeston to get bus service Following what it describes as overwhelmingly positive feedback from local residents, Environment Canterbury has announced that trial commuter bus services for Darfield and Leeston will begin from Monday, January 28. Environment Canterbury senior manager public transport Stewart Gibbon said he was pleased with the response to the proposed services. “We needed to know if the Darfield and Leeston communities agreed with us that there was a need for a service like this and if they were prepared to support it.” Two hundred submissions were received for the Leeston survey, with 96% of respondents claiming that they, or someone in their household, would use the service. One hundred and eighty-nine submissions were received for the Darfield survey, with more than 93% stating that they, or someone in their household, would use the service. More than 50% of respondents to both surveys said they would use the services at least twice a week. “We also asked for input on desired pick-up and drop-off locations, as well as on the times for the service to run. This feedback has enabled us to plan the two routes and schedules for the services in
a way that will best suit each individual community,” said Gibbon. Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton said the new services would be a boost for the townships. “It was great to have so many people support the proposal for a trial.” “These buses will provide a valuable sustainable transport option for people working in the city, and I encourage local residents to make good use of the routes during this trial period, so they become a permanent subsidised service.” Each service will run one trip in the mornings to Christchurch, and one trip back in the afternoons, Monday to Friday. The 86 Darfield service will travel via Kirwee, West Melton, Westfield Riccarton to the central city. The 87 Leeston service will travel via Doyleston, Irwell, Springston, The Hub Hornby, Westfield Riccarton to the central city. The new routes will be running on a trial basis in the coming months, during which time the performance of the services will be monitored. ¢

For the second consecutive year, Lincoln is the only New Zealand university ranked in the UI Green Metric World University Rankings, which measure sustainability. Lincoln’s ratio of sustainability courses amongst its total courses, and its sustainability-related publications and events earned top scores. Lincoln University acting vicechancellor, Professor Bruce McKenzie, said the ranking reflected the importance Lincoln placed on sustainability throughout its courses, as well as on campus. “We have specific courses, which focus completely on the issue, such as Sustainable Futures, and it features in environmental studies, but it is also part of tourism and many other areas. “We have also initiated a University Centre of Research Excellence called Sustainable Tourism for Regions, Communities and Landscapes, and sustainability will be integral in another new University Centre of Research Excellence, Designing Future Productive Landscapes, so it is also a focus of our research.” Professor McKenzie said the university also has a Sustainability Action Group for our Environment (SAGE), responsible for ensuring that the “university treads lightly on the earth”. It looks at areas such as energy conservation, water management

Recently the Lincoln ICONZ boys completed their Tycoonz and Fundraiser awards as part of their Boys’ Brigade accomplishments with funds raised going to the local volunteer fire brigade.
Public consultation is open on the Selwyn District Council’s proposed Speed Limit Changes 2018. The council proposals include the introduction of 40 km/h speed limit for school zones, changes to all 70 km/h speed limits and some of the 100 and 80 km/h speed limits.
p The Lincoln ICONZ group handing over their donation to the Lincoln volunteer fire brigade
“The boys built birdhouses and planter boxes, and as part of the exercise they had to work out how much each product was going to cost to build and then sell them at a profit,” said leader Alistair Morris. The funds raised from the boys’ achievements are donated to a charity or worthy organisation. “This year’s recipients were the Lincoln volunteer fire brigade. Members of the brigade came to Lincoln Baptist church where the Lincoln ICONZ group is based and gratefully received a cheque for $550.00, which they have said will allow for new equipment to be purchased.” Previous organisations to receive money have been the Cancer society,
Selwyn Waiwera Youth trust and the Leeston RSA. “Boys’ Brigade was started in Scotland in 1883 by Sir William Smith and is now all over the commonwealth. ICONZ is for boys age six to 18 years old with different age-appropriate groups. Each of the programmes provides fun and exciting activities with opportunities for children and young people to be recognised for their participation and achievement through awards.” There are currently 26 boys enrolled at Lincoln ICONZ learning the importance of obedience, discipline and self-respect along with many other life skills. For more information go to iconz. org.nz or phone Alistair Morris on 021 390 084. ¢
Public consultation is open until 5pm, February 15 2019. Submissions must be in writing. The council is also consulting on its Draft Speed Limits Bylaw. The proposal is to update the existing 2006 Speed Limit Bylaw, referencing the latest National Land Transport Setting of Speed Limits Rule, which regulates how speed limits are set and managed.

“We had a very diverse group of cultures with all genres of music and talent represented including people from the Selwyn district, Christchurch and we had both national and international artists onstage,” says organiser Irish Scott.
“The artists and event goers loved the weekend and joined in with a lot of excitement, and that was encouraging for all the competitors and musicians involved. The motocross riders and skateboarders added to the festival atmosphere.”
Skateboarders at the Ramp Jam competition showed their skills and tricks whilst taking advantage of weekend festivities. “Skaters presented their best set and tricks on the ramp,” says organiser Jamie Guest, from Propaganda Streetwear and Skate store. “We were encouraged to see so many people from the Selwyn district come along and we had some fantastic competitors, which encourages others to try.” People of different experience levels competed for the three top prizes making the 45-minute ramp jam session exciting for those watching. “There were two ramps that the riders could manoeuvre between, and the competition was full of difficult tricks

Selwyn’s dance success

u by Ann van Engelen
A team of five students representing Selwyn School of Dance travelled to the Evolution Dance competition on the Gold Coast in Australia and came away with accolades.
p Selwyn School of Dance students participate in a wide variety of opportunities to gain experience on stage
The team competed in three different contests including ballet, contemporary and lyrical dance. They placed first in ballet, second in contemporary and fourth in the lyrical section out of many dancers competing from across Australia and New Zealand. “The girls got in the finals after coming second in the regional competition in May last year,” says Selwyn School of Dance director, Emma Body.
“They worked hard, and we are so proud of their achievements, and they were the only team from New Zealand. They attended workshops and trained with some leading dance professionals at the event. We have around 230 students and this year some of our dancers going overseas to places including Latvia and possibly Austria. We try and give them as many opportunities as possible for experience.
p The senior elite competition team Harriet Body, Mia Williams, Maya Hamilton, Phillipa Johnston and Abby Prusas
“Dance is a great way to develop the creative side as you are using the left and right side of the body. It is a great way to keep young people off the streets, and it gives them a safe place to express themselves. “One of the contemporary pieces the team did was about teenage depression and suicide awareness, so they weren’t just dancing, but it was an outlet for expression. Competing
to me is about going on stage and getting performance experience. We try to be all-encompassing and help our students grow and learn through techniques and commitments which in turn means they grow in other areas. “Dance really is a team sport, and everyone has to work together. It was their first international competition and to come away with those results is a credit to them.” ¢

Back to school Heading into the school year u by Andy Bryenton
The holidays are coming to an end, and while it may seem like a respite for many parents, there’s plenty of planning and organisation to do to make sure that students are ready to tackle the year’s curriculum armed with everything they will need for success. Alongside the usual stationery and uniforms — staples of the back to school schedule since the earliest days of education — there’s a checklist of other considerations to address to ensure a smooth transition to the classroom for 2019. Technology — just as crucial to the modern student as pens and paper is an array of devices designed to help young learners get to grips with an increasingly digital world. In fact, there’s been some controversy about schools insisting on specific requirements and brands and models of tablet or laptop needed to participate in online education, both in the classroom and at home. It’s worth noting that in many cases it’s the operating system which is important, not the hardware itself. Devices which run 1D Cardale St, Darfield Phone: 03 318 8836 darfieldpreschool@xtra.co.nz ï

Take the time to talk road safety, especially those who will be travelling by bicycle, perhaps for the first time. Plan a route and if possible, walk or ride it through together to identify hazard areas such as intersections and crossings. Extra-curricular activities — school also heralds the beginning of afterschool sports and classes in the arts. It might be the right time to choose a selection of activities, which will allow you to be involved as a parent. All clubs, teams and organisations welcome parents who want to become coaches, referees or assistants, and this is a great way to spend more time with your kids, encouraging their athletic or creative abilities. However, if you are unsure as to your child’s level of commitment, see if you can have them attend once or twice to observe or meet the other kids, before spending a large sum on uniforms, equipment, instruments and other

Emphasise that all of these extracurricular activities can be rewarding and fun for life, but that becoming a master of any — like their sporting heroes or favourite musicians — takes dedication, practice and time. Healthier and smarter — the start of school means the start school lunches and snacks. It is a good opportunity to involve kids in making healthy choices and ensures empty lunch boxes at the end of the day. Getting youngsters to help make their lunches teaches kitchen skills which will be vital in their later life — university flatting comes to mind — and enables them to pick and choose options to fill in that five plus a day of fruit, veggies and healthy snacks. It is also the season when the sun is at its hottest, so take the time to stay sun smart. It’s easy to forget sunscreen and a hat when you’re not at the beach, but it’s easy to burn on the playground or when walking or riding to and from school. Choosing options — for those older students who are embarking on the second phase of high school, it’s well
worth sitting down to discuss which optional classes will best suit their choice working toward a university or technical degree. Even those who have chosen their options at the end of last year benefit from making a plan for the future — how this year’s study leads on to different pathways and eventually, a career.

Then Sharlene wint on. “Yerd think that making a safety messige ona plane wood be sure and clear and to tha point. That Air New Zilland should stick to its nitting and just fly planes with clear safey messijis for peeple. Wot are they tryin’ ter getin the music video businiss for?” Then Sharlene lookt at her komputa screen and sed that lots of peeple agreed with Boss. She red in her skootecha voice: “Cringe video. Safety message is lost in translation.

S for superlative strength by Andy Bryenton
It’s tough, finished in red, has a big ‘S’ on the front, comes from a humble rural lineage but offers superhuman strength and power to save the day. No, it’s not the world’s most recognisable superhero — it’s the latest offering from farming icon Massey Ferguson. With a bold new ‘S’ series of performance tractors rolling out across the world, the name that’s synonymous with tractors — even to non-farmers — have played their cards conservatively in regards to style. But under the skin there’s a world of difference between the Frenchbuilt S range and those which have come before. A focus on operator comfort and ease of use has seen changes to how the machines are operated, and research and development in the engineering department has delivered a potent range of engines which combine the trifecta of lower emissions, better fuel economy and more power. Take for example the ‘middleweight boxer’ of the S range. The MF6700S delivers a smooth and willing 175hp from a four-cylinder unit under the hood, making it the most powerful inline four in the tractor world. If this was a road going car, it would be fitted with M-Power or AMG badges.
As it is, that power is directed not to outright speed, but to reliable torque via a selection of gearing solutions, all of which are mated to simplified and streamlined controls. That’s not the only comparison with the world of motoring. Power is nothing without control, and so the MF6700S also delivers extreme agility, with the smallest turning circle in its class and both a compact frame and light weight. On the farm, this means less soil compaction in transit and on the job. It also means the ability to navigate in tight spaces, barnyards and sheds to fulfil a multi-application role. Certainly, with its power rivaling that of a bulkier six-cylinder tractor, and the option to fit a handy loader on the front or a whole range of implements aft, this is a versatile option for mixed farms, those who combine dairy with cropping, or demanding contracting applications. Massey Ferguson has never been a company to rest on past glories, instead pressing forward with

Beating the power bills Those monthly power bills never stop coming, except perhaps for one month’s discount annually, if you have a good energy company at the helm — but how much better to be at the helm yourself? One of the best ways to cut your monthly bills is by investing in renewable energy to power your home. There are plenty of power-saving options, and in New Zealand sunny atmosphere, let’s start with solar energy — power from the sun through solar panels — the most common and obvious method. Solar panels typically go on your roof, and you could generate 10 or more Is your home loan working for you? Does it HELP you save you money?

watts for each square foot. A typical house consumes at least a kilowatt of power, so a few square feet of solar panels should be enough to power most or all of your needs. One drawback of solar power is that it only works when the sun is up. If you want to power your home when the sun is down, you’ll need to pay for grid electricity or invest in a second type of renewable energy. You can also use the power of the sun to heat your home. Solar water heaters use the sun to heat a reserve of water, which can then be pumped through your radiators or out your taps or showerheads. This system is much cheaper than using gas or electricity to heat your water and is easier to install than solar panels. If you’re not willing to completely commit to powering your entire home with renewable energy, solar water heating can be a good alternative. Wind turbines are most commonly found in wind farms, but if you have enough land, a small wind turbine may be the answer.
p Solar arrays a common sight
They can be unsightly and generate a lot of noise. Wind turbines can take up space, and this might be a better rural application to avoid upsetting neighbours with a little noise on windy days. Moreover, wind power is more stable than solar, and a good-sized wind turbine
can easily generate most or all of your electricity needs. Another power option to look for if you are in a rural area, with water handy, is hydro. If your property has a source of flowing water, you may divert some or all of the stream or river to flow through a turbine and presto — power! ¢

Safe water — good health
PAY ATTENTION!
Water is the stuff of life, and as such, it’s vital that quality is safeguarded above all else. Safe drinking water is essential for good health when used for drinking, teeth cleaning, hand washing, bathing, showering, food preparation and cooking. If your water comes from a mains supply, your safety is monitored by your local authority, but in many parts of the country, a rooftop collection is relied upon. Roof water may be corrosive or may become contaminated with ash, dust, agricultural spray, bird or possum droppings. Water from rivers, streams, shallow bore and spring may contain harmful germs, chemicals or be discoloured and unpleasant to taste. Bore water can contain harmful chemicals and may be hard or corrosive. If you are unsure about the quality, have it tested in a recognised laboratory. Viruses and bacteria such as cr yptosporidium, giardia, campylobacter, salmonella and E coli can cause contamination. Lead flashing on the roof can cause high lead levels. To improve the quality of roof-collected rainwater, it is essential that the roof surface is suitable for collecting. Use a safe roof paint that the manufacturer advises is suitable. Use plastic pipes and gutters approved for rainwater collection and install a gutter mesh to prevent leaves and debris collecting. Installation of the tank should be the work of a professional with a myriad of connections that will safeguard the water flow into it. Roof areas should be kept clear of overhanging vegetation to prevent leaves and other debris from falling onto the catchment. Overhanging branches also give rodents, cats and possums access to the roof and allow birds to

roost above it. If there is any evidence of faecal contamination on your roof, clean the droppings from the surface by adding half a teaspoon of plain, unperfumed household bleach to 10 litres of water and use this to scrub and flush. Use sufficient quantities of clean water to flush away the remaining material. Tanks should be inspected annually,
