Proposed bar closing hours met with mixed reaction TOM DOUDNEY

A proposed 2am closing time for Selwyn taverns has received a lukewarm reaction from the hospitality industry, the medical officer of health and police. The latest version of the proposed Local Alcohol Policy is up for approval at tomorrow’s district council meeting. Taverns would be forced to close at 2am – later than the 1am time which had been proposed but earlier than the 3am time that several currently close at.

INSIDE:

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think the new rules strike the right balance? Email your views to tom. doudney@starmedia.kiwi Prebbleton Tavern owner Shannon Gilmore said he was still not happy about losing his 3am closing time and he believed forcing Selwyn bars to close at earlier times than others in Christchurch would encourage drink driving as people would drive from one venue to another. “The [3am] status quo is what we believe would be fair and correct,” he said. Canterbury Medical Officer

of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey and the police both wanted to see the original closing time proposed – 1am. Dr Humphrey said there was plenty of evidence from New Zealand and overseas that alcohol-related harm got worse the later that licensed premises were open. “The hospitality industry and the council have not produced one shred of evidence that what

they have done will not produce harm to Selwyn residents. “I have no doubt that Selwyn residents will suffer as a consequence of this decision of the council and it won’t be long before sadly, there is likely to be a road death or an assault, as a result of alcohol consumption at that time.” Darfield Hotel owner Ray O’Connell said he believed the 2am closing time was a good

compromise, in spite of his current licence extending until 3am. Meanwhile, new bottle stores would not be excluded from neighbourhood centres as had originally been proposed. The changes were made after the district council’s original policy was appealed by Foodstuffs South Island Ltd, The Mill Retail Holdings and Independent Liquor Ltd, Progressive Enterprises, Lincoln Golf Club, Hospitality Association of New Zealand and Super Liquor Holdings Ltd.

Stress, anxiety, isolation take toll TOM DOUDNEY

More people took their own lives in Selwyn last year than any other 12-month period within the last nine years, with factors including rural isolation and farmers anxiety over finances. Statistics from the Ministry of Justice showed nine people between June 2014 and June 2015 killed themselves in the district. In the last six months of 2015 a further four suicides had followed. For other years since 2007/2008, the number of reported suicides ranged between two and seven. Mental Health and Addictions Advocacy and Peer Support manager of advocacy services Beth Nobes said ongoing anxiety from the earthquakes and tougher economic times for farmers were both potential stress factors in Selwyn over recent years. “People’s anxiety is very, very high and the feeling of not having any control over that kind of thing has a really long, hard effect on people,” she said. While levels of services dealing with depression and mental health issues had

huge amount on lowering the road toll and yet suicides have in my view a much greater effect on society but it gets swept under the carpet and no one wants to talk about it,” he said. “There wouldn’t be a single police officer who has worked for a few years on the front line who wouldn’t have one suicide, or one memory from a suicide, that sticks with them forever, basically,” he said. Ms Nobes said isolation was a contributing factor to depression in rural communities but the commitment of running a farm often didn’t leave much free time to seek help. It was important that people were able to reach out when they needed to. “I think Canterbury has benefited greatly from the staunch Canterbury image but DARK THOUGHTS: It’s important for people experiencing suicidal when it’s too late, its too late – thoughts to be able to reach out when they need help, a mental health stop being staunch when you are spokeswoman says. feeling suicidal.” •Those seeking help for remained steady, there had been greater number of unsuccessful themselves or others can get an increase in the number of suicide attempts, dealt with by more information by phoning people using them, meaning police. individuals had access to less He believed there was still too MHAPS on 365 9479. •Depression helpline 0800 support. much stigma around discussing 111 757; Lifeline 0800 543 354; Sergeant Chris Jones said the suicide.

ANNIVERSARY MEETING Rolleston residents and business people are being invited to help plan celebrations for the town’s 150th anniversary celebrations later this year. A public meeting is being held at the district council’s Rolleston headquarter on March 15, 7pm, to form an organising committee. The committee will oversee the planning and running of events to mark the anniversary. CREEK BED FIRE A crop stubble fire near Leeston escaped into a neighbouring creek bed and burnt about 300m of vegetation on Saturday before it was brought under control. The fire happened at about 5.15pm at a property on Leeston and Lake Rd and was put out by firefighters from Leeston and Southbridge. COMMUNITY CENTRES The proposed Dunsandel and West Melton Community Centres are scheduled to go out to tender over the next two months. Tenders for the Dunsandel project will close in late March, and for the West Melton facility in mid-May. Cost estimates for the facilities are $3.18m for Dunsandel and $6.6m for West Melton. Funding for the facilities will come from various sources including reserves funds, Council grants, other grants and community fundraising.

Land decision tomorrow

TOM DOUDNEY

Land on the outskirts of Darfield could be subdivided into 125 new rural residential properties, if a plan change is approved tomorrow. The 130ha site, owned by Gillian Logan, is bordered by State Highway 73 and State Highway 77. It is mostly covered in pastoral grass, crops, forestry blocks and shelterbelts. Under the Selwyn District Plan, the site is one of several land holdings which make up a special deferred living zone known as ‘Area 5’. Independent Planning Commissioner Mike Garland has recommended that Plan Change 46, lifting the deferred living status and allowing for subdivision down to an average lot size of 1ha, be approved. District councillors will vote on the matter at tomorrow’s meeting. In making his decision, Mr Garland sought to address concerns raised by adjacent land owners, the New Zealand Transport Agency and the Te Taumutu Runanga. Hatton Investments Ltd, which also owns land within Area 5, argued that the plan change should be declined or amended to cover all properties within Area 5. If amended, it wanted several provisions included, such as accounting for future roading connections between the different ownership blocks.

Mr Garland agreed that it would have been good practise for the zoning change to cover the whole of Area 5 but said it was not within his scope to make a decision on that. He recommended that provisions on roading connections be included in the Outline Development Plan. NZTA asked for vehicle access on to State Highway 73 and State Highway 77 to avoid potential speed limit changes and for any new houses to be set back far enough from the road that noise would not be a problem. Mr Garland also recommended that these provisions be made. Te Taumutu Runanga were concerned about whether the new subdivision would place extra pressure on groundwater resources and whether wastewater and stormwater could be adequately disposed of on the individual sites. Mr Garland said he accepted evidence that these matters would be adequately provided for. If district councillors approve the plan change, any submitters that still object will have 30 days from public notification to appeal.

MASSIVE

CLEARANCE

Bid to reduce waste A family can produce a lot of household waste but Selwyn parents will be able to learn about reducing theirs from someone with first-hand experience. Kate Meads, known as ‘the nappy lady’, will present the waste-free parenting workshop at the Rolleston Rugby Football Club on March 16. At the workshop, she will talk about her own experience with a young baby in the house. “We filled our wheelie bin every week with nappies, food waste, packaging and general household waste,” she said. “We wheeled it to the kerb every Friday and it disappeared like magic only to be filled again the following week.” The family bulk purchased fresh foods and then threw loads of it out. At the workshop, Mrs Meads

will talk about her personal journey to become a more conscious consumer and to inspire parents to make small changes to their day-to-day household activities. She will cover topics such as recycling properly, reducing food waste, composting, reducing packaging, cloth nappy basics and she introduces parents to new products to suit their busy lifestyle. •The workshop will be held on March 16, 10am-12.30pm, at the Rolleston Rugby Football Club. Bookings are essential as spaces are limited and tickets are available online at www. wastefreeparenting. co.nz.

Bus patronage up

TOM DOUDNEY

Bus patronage may have fallen in Christchurch last year but Selwyn passengers appear to be getting on board at higher levels than ever. In total, people boarded a bus 261,897 times from a bus stop in Rolleston, Burnham, Lincoln or Prebbleton last year, up from 252,766 in 2014. The figures for the previous three years were 206,827 in 2013, 209,556 in 2012 and 191,969 in 2011. The news comes at a time when Environment Canterbury is investigating why less people have been using the bus network in Christchurch, a year after it received a $305,000 revamp. Patronage across greater Christchurch fell 4.59 per cent from September 2014 to September 2015. ECan commissioner Rex Williams said Selwyn’s growing population and the changes made to the bus network since December 2014 were both possible factors in the district’s increase in patronage. The network changes meant the Yellow Line and 820 routes went further into Rolleston and timetables started earlier. Mr Williams said the district

PRISON HOUSES The latest wave of restored earthquake-damaged former Christchurch red zone state houses have left Rolleston Prison and are being moved onto new permanent sites. Housing New Zealand and the Department of Corrections are joint partners in the programme where the state houses are upgraded by prisoners. To date, 18 of the restored houses are being lived in by Housing New Zealand tenants in Christchurch and a further seven have recently been transported to sites across the city.

POPULAR: Bus patronage in Selwyn is up compared to last year.

also did not suffer from the extensive roadworks related issues that could put people off using buses in Christchurch. “Roadworks are at their peak in Christchurch in the last six or nine months and that has been disrupting up to 70-odd per cent of the total bus routes, combined with the fact that a number of stops have been moved because of the roadworks and

the temporary stops are not well marked,” Mr Williams said. The increase was “very good news” for the bus network in Selwyn. The figures were provided in an ECan report produced for the district council which manages the infrastructure for the bus network – such as bus stops, signage and road markings. The report also showed that

the district’s most used bus stop as at March last year was at Lincoln University with buses being boarded 6138 times from there during the month. In Rolleston the most used stop was Kidman St with buses being boarded 1678 times and in Prebbleton it was Birchs Rd, near the intersection with Glenwood Drive, with buses being boarded 1026 times.

CYCLIST INJURED A 60-year-old man was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition after being knocked off his bicycle by a car on Old Tai Tapu Rd. The incident happened on Wednesday at 1pm. CLARIFICATION The Selwn Times incorrectly reported, on February 9 and again on March 1, that the Doyleston War Memorial was located at Osborne Park, which is on Drain Rd. In fact, the war memorial and garden has its own site on Leeston Rd.

Man sentenced for illegal dumping A man who illegally dumped and buried earthquake waste on a Hororata dairy farm will serve community detention and undertake community work. In the Christchurch District Court on Friday, Judge Jane Borthwick sentenced Barry Foster to two months of community detention, consisting of a sevenday-a-week curfew, and 200 hours of community service. In February, Mr Foster pleaded guilty to three charges of breaching the Resource Management Act, including for illegally burning and burying demolition waste at the Hororata farm which he owned at the time. Ironically, the waste was from the demolished former Environment Court building in Christchurch. Foster, who has been declared bankrupt, has said he did not have the money to pay the dumping fees at the Burwood Recovery Plant in Christchurch. Environment Canterbury monitoring and compliance manager Marty Mortiaux said the sentence was a clear message to those who inappropriately disposed of waste at unconsented sites that paying a fine may not cut it and they could expect their personal freedom to be at stake. Foster transferred at least 15

Garden centre to make way for motorway TOM DOUDNEY

CLEAN-UP: Earthquake rubble was uncovered at a Hororata dairy farm and contractor Barry Foster pleaded guilty to illegally dumping it.

truck and trailer loads of demolition waste to a farm in Hororata which was tipped into a farm pit. The waste was then burned, and any remaining demolition material was buried. When ECan investigated the site, it found demolition material in the pits including timber, wiring, reinforcing bar, bricks, metals, concrete and piping. Mr Mortiaux said Mr Foster’s actions of illegally burying earthquake waste at unconsent-

ed sites was an offence against Canterbury itself. “The regional council is part of an inter-agency response to support earthquake recovery in an environmentally sustainable way that preserves land use for the future and ensures that inappropriate waste disposal is not a legacy of the 2011 earthquakes,” Mr Mortiaux said. “Mr Foster’s actions go against everything the council and the other agencies are trying

to achieve.” “Practices of burning, burying and walking away from the damage are unacceptable on any level and damage future options for land use.” Mr Mortiaux said the sentence sent a strong message to others in industry that dumping waste unlawfully was unacceptable. “We will not hesitate to take individuals and businesses to court for this offensive behaviour.”

Evergreen Garden Centre on State Highway 1 will temporarily close and lay off six staff, due to the southern motorway extension. Geoff and Kathriene White purchased the land in 2005 and set up the garden centre in 2006. They had always planned to open a cafe on the site as well and were ready to begin in 2010 when the New Zealand Transport Agency contacted them about taking some of their land to build the Christchurch Southern Motorway extension. Although they were aware this would happen when they bought the land, they hadn’t known at the time that access to Robinsons Rd would be cut off, meaning the cafe would not be viable. The couple have found a new site near Prebbleton and were in the process of applying for resource consent – but that process was expected to take at least a year. Mr White said the closing date had not been confirmed but was likely to be in April. The company has about 30 staff working for the landscaping side of the business, which is based in Christchurch and will not be closing.

Lincoln University’s rising student numbers Lincoln University has seen a rise of 10 per cent in its number of new students compared to last year.

Happy first birthday to Lincoln 80X

A year ago, Leeston resident Kathy Fielding was behind a successful bid to have the Lincoln to Christchurch express bus service reinstated. Today she reflects on that journey and looks to the future.

The 80 Express bus came about when a group of bus commuters said to Environment Canterbury, “you are mistaken.” An express service is essential. ECan eventually listened and the 80X was added to the Lincoln 80 bus service a year ago this week. Happy Birthday 80X! A sizeable group from the Lincoln and surrounding districts area were ecstatic. We now had a better idea of travelling times between Lincoln and the Christchurch CBD. The title ‘express’ means pick ups and drop offs are reduced. The Lincoln 80X picks up its last passengers in Prebbleton. Once it exits the Southern Motorway, its first drop off point is on Lincoln Rd, Addington, travelling along Hagley Ave to the hospital and interchange,

SOAP BOX PEOPLE POWER: Kathy Fielding with the petition she sent to ECan to get the Lincoln to City Express bus reinstated. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

with the journey terminating at Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology. Alternatively, the afternoon journey starts at CPIT and picks up any final passengers at Shell Selwyn St. First drop off is in Prebbleton with the final destination being Lincoln University. Once seated, so many options to fill in the time – read, listen to music, phone home, phone work or sort out a lunch/dinner date. Forty winks can be had

– after all you aren’t driving. Otherwise it is just great to gaze out those large windows and enter your own world. Once the journey is over, no parking worries and no sun strike issues. Did I mention a great way to meet new people – work mates perhaps, or prospective clients? ECan was warned that in no time at all, there would be a need for an extra morning bus and an additional afternoon bus. We think that time is getting close. For the bus times, check out the metro website. As the 80X is an afterthought, it is not in the paper timetables, nor on the timetable at the bus stops.

TRIP TO FIJI

My thanks to Mr Crombie, chief executive of Central Plains Water Ltd, for responding to my concerns about the district council lending them $8 million of ratepayers’ money. (the Selwyn Times, February 2). Silly, silly me! I’d thought the irrigation scheme was for the benefit of the farmers whose farms it will irrigate, whereas it is really a massive charity for the benefit of the Selwyn district to create jobs, keep schools viable, add value and the ‘kicker’ of them all, yippity do da – keep rates lower. Yeah right. Pigs really do fly, but I’m doubtful whether even Mr Crombie believes this hogwash. My thanks too to Mr Coe for his attention to my neighbours’ and my own service requests though I’m bound to say a letter to your paper and sarcastic reference to lack of attention to the district council’s core responsibilities is an inefficient, convoluted way of getting action – but I suppose if needs must. – John Summers, Southbridge I write with regard to the heading ‘Freedom camping complaints’ (the Selwyn Times, March 1) where the Selwyn Times requested figures from the district council on the number of complaints it has received during the past 12 months. The Weedons Reserve

Committee in conjunction with the district council have allowed two sets of campers on the reserve, as they have asked personally; they have their own ablutions; they do not wish to be a nuisance; they are so far very tidy and leave no rubbish; one helps where needed on the reserve and at the neighbouring golf course; their presence helps security and they offer security; and they will go if asked. They have both been given a copy of the district council bylaw regarding camping on reserves. – Peter Holmes, Weedons Reserve Committee chairman

VULNERABLE: Lake Coleridge and other high country lakes are the areas most at risk from freedom camping in Selwyn. The lakes provide attractive places for camping but do not always have facilities such as toilets and rubbish collection.

Identifying and helping at-risk youth Recently, I visited Lincoln and Canterbury universities during their orientation week. It was great to see so many new students from around our region and further afield looking forward to starting out on their chosen path of tertiary study. Most of these young people have had the support of their families during their formative years and been encouraged to pursue their career goals. However, what about young people who have not been so fortunate and might be classified as ‘at risk’? To understand who these young people are and what problems they face, the Government has been collating data from government agencies including the Ministries of Social Development, Health and Education, as well as Child Youth and Family (CYF), Corrections, Police and Housing. Late last year the Government released data showing the key early warning signs of the 15 to 24-year-olds around New Zealand who are most likely to fail at school, access mental health

services, stay on a long-term benefit or go to prison. Some of the risk factors include whether these young people have been brought to the attention of CYF as a child, whether they were stood down from school, whether their parent/ caregiver was on a benefit or whether their parent/caregiver has served a corrective sentence. We now know, for example, that the most at-risk 15 per cent of 15-year-olds are 13 times as likely to have a CYF notification and 10 times more likely to have been stood down from school than other 15-year-olds. The data identifies just over 4000 teenage girls on a benefit as one high-risk group. By the time they reach 35, half will have been on a benefit for more than five of the last 10 years,

and 19 per cent will have been sentenced by the courts. Only one third will have achieved NCEA level two by age 23. On average, each person in this group will cost the Government over $100,000 in corrections and benefit costs between ages 25 and 34 – and much more than that over their lifetimes. The Government’s aim in collecting and analysing this data is to identify those most likely to be at risk so we can tailor solutions and services to address their problems. By sharing as much information as possible across Government, NGOs and business we can develop a common sense of purpose on the wide range of solutions required to solve longterm, complex social problems, family by family.

Colin Patterson

Poet draws inspiration from For years, Colin Patterson composed poetry while sitting on the tractor at his farm near Leeston. His gifts remained largely a secret until family encouraged him to enter a Christchurch competition. He spoke to Tom Doudney about where his inspiration comes from, his latest big idea, and the bagpipes How long have you been making up poems and stories? It probably started when I was back in school in the 40s and 50s and I really enjoyed poetry. A lot of the other boys in class didn’t so I never let on I was enjoying Tennyson’s Charge of the Light Brigade and all that. I started to put my own stuff together back in the 60s. As I drove up and down on the tractor, or whatever, there would be something happening and I would just put it into either lyrics or verse. I never wrote them down, I just memorised them and spoke a few of them at family gatherings, so a few people knew I was able to do it but I wasn’t letting on. In about 2006 my sister urged me to go into a big poetry competition at the Writers Festival in Christchurch where they had three international judges. I was very reluctant and said ‘that will be the day’ but she

said ‘no, I think you should have a go’. Tell me about that. I qualified for the final 12 which I thought was pretty amazing. Winning it was a tremendous shock to me. When I came off the stage, the Sunday Star Times were there to interview me and there was a chap with his publishing company who wanted to offer me a contract on the spot. I got diagnosed with what was thought to be terminal cancer in 2007 (but which turned out to be something less serious) and things didn’t look too good. My daughter had given me a book a week before that and asked me to write my stuff down. I could still remember pretty much every poem back to the 60s so I started to write. When people heard I had them, they wanted to hear me so I started to put on shows and I got booked to go to all sorts of things and it just snowballed from there. It

surprised me because I am just an ordinary old farmer and a gnarly old fellow. My wife Valmai has been to all except two shows and without her support I wouldn’t have been able to do what I have done. Why did you hide your talents away for so many years? I was extremely shy and to get up in front of a crowd was very, very daunting so that was the big thing that put me off – and I only

did it to fill in the day. It’s great to sing some ditty or recite some poetry while you are driving up and down and sitting on the tractor. When I did come to doing poetry in the mid-2000s, I hadn’t really read poetry since I was in school, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing because like everything else, it evolves, and a lot of the poets have gone into prose and free verse and haikus and have left the ballads behind

to a large extent, which I think is such a shame. What do you make up your stories and poems about? What inspires you? It’s quite extraordinary really, if you asked me to write a poem today or by the end of the week I would have no idea what to write. It comes to me, not very often, but when it comes I just sit down to write from start to finish and I hardly ever have to change a word.

working on farm tractor

The one I won the competition with was a classic example because I was out driving the tractor and I was ploughing a long paddock so I only had to drop the plough and head out of the paddock and I could see the Southern Alps away in the distance with all the snow on and the stock alongside in the paddocks. When I turned to come back the other way, I looked across to the sun shining off Lake Ellesmere and the seagulls that were flocking in over the top of the tractor to get the worms I was turning over and I said ‘gosh, look at all this I can see today’. Within a few minutes I was into a poem and it was probably one of the best ones I have ever written. It’s all about seeing the world from the view of a blind boy. Are you working on anything right now? One of the last I wrote was on the short life of my father’s brother who never got back from Gallipoli. I was on tour with Brian Turner and Sam Mahon, starting at Twizel and we went right through to Kaikoura. On the way up to Kaikoura we stopped at Cass Bay to stretch

our legs. We went up the hill and there was an old cemetery there which was abandoned. There were little bits of old headstone and the rusting ironwork around them and when you turned to look down the beach there was the sea rolling in below us, so I launched into this poem. I had only just written it and Brian Turner said to me ‘you have to do that tonight, Colin!’ so I got out in the school grounds there and walked up and down and worked out how to present it. The big thing is to know how to get the most out of it and I started off by whistling The Last Post. What are you up to these days? I have had it in my mind for

quite a while to put on a big show for something in the district. We just decided the other day to go ahead with it and the project we are seeking to help is the Abbeyfield retirement facility here in Leeston. With me entertaining around the place, I have met up with a few people and been on tour with them, so we will have some guest artists in there. How did this idea come to you? People just love what I do, it’s been incredible. I have done I think about 150 shows and it’s all just through word of mouth. I am 76 now so I thought while I still can, I could put on a real good one for the local community because the thing with me is

that everything I have is memorised, so I not only tell the story, I actually act the story as well, so it’s quite entertaining. When and where would this show be? I imagine it will be in the Leeston rugby stadium. We are hoping to get a few hundred people so it’s a matter of selling the tickets and getting the venue and contacting the artists to make sure they will come and little details like that. Hopefully it will bring in quite a lot of money in one smack for the Abbeyfield group and I can give back something to the district that has been so good to us over the years. You’ve been involved with looking after Hart’s Creek,

which runs by your property. How did that start? It was pretty dirty there and the fish numbers were dropping down so a group of us got behind it and fenced everything off. Now the water is clear, there are beautiful big trout and fishermen come from all around the world to fish it. Fencing probably started about 1998 or thereabouts and it took a while for people to come on board but once they did and saw the difference it took off. A lot of it is planted with natives and they are growing up to the sky now. We have all got satisfaction and Environment Canterbury use it as a demonstration of what can be done. You teach the bagpipes as well. How did you get into playing them? My grandfather was a trustee of the Ellesmere pipe band when it formed way back in about 1920, my father was on the committee for years and two of my older brothers learned and went straight into the band when it reformed in 1946 after the war. I enjoy it now as much as ever because I can go down to Ellesmere Hospital and play a tune for elderly people. I get tremendous pleasure out of doing that.

year. The first will be in Auckland on March 18. The programme, developed in partnership with the Sir Peter Bake Trust, will see each student work on a project that asks them to think of ways they can engage others and create positive changes within their own schools. Activities at the events include talks from motivational speakers, action-orientated tasks and career days where students network and learn from people in business. Elin will work in partnership this year with the student council including head boy Duncan Finlayson, deputy head boy Simi Junior Agafili and deputy head girl Katelyn Beer. Elin and Duncan said, in a joint statement, that making sure all students felt valued and connected would be a focus for the school council this year. YOUNG LEADERS: Deputy head boy Simi Junior Agafili, head girl Elin Harris, head boy Duncan Finlayson and deputy head girl Katelyn Beer. BREAKING NEW GROUND: The site of the soon-to-be-built Lemonwood Grove School, in Rolleston, was blessed by runanga from Te Taumutu on Wednesday. Future pupil, Angus Winter, 4, had a special role in the ceremony, digging out some soil which was then placed in a box to be put aside for the duration of the build. When the school opens at the beginning of 2017, Angus will put the soil back in the area it was taken from, which will then be at the front of the administration block.

Little dancer with big achievements BY TOM DOUDNEY

It has been a memorable six months for Jessica Galletly and her fast feet. The 13-year-old Darfield dancer racked up a string of awards and high placings in multiple competitions. Perhaps her biggest achievement came at the Showcase National Championships held in the Gold Coast in January, where she won a high gold award in the tap speed category and a gold award in the contemporary category. Jessica started ballet lessons at the age of three and has competed in tap and jazz competitions for several years, branching out into contemporary dance more recently. Her mother Genevieve Galletly said Jessica had always loved dancing. “Ever since she could walk, she could dance,” she said. “She wants to make dancing her life, I think.” Jessica said dancing made her happy and was something she

could express herself through. “I’m really pleased with myself, I never thought I would get this far with my dancing because I started off being the kid in the class that wasn’t very good.” Her goals were to become a dance teacher and to dance on stage with professionals. Jessica is preparing for two competitions in the next school holidays, the Garden City Tappers competition and the Christchurch Tap Dance Teachers Association competition. • If you know of a local achiever, email tom.doudney@ starmedia.kiwi

spot on the Rakaia River. “It’ll be useful alright, I do a lot of fishing and it’ll save me having to use the quad bike.” Mitre 10 MEGA Hornby general manager Liam Pawson was pleased to see a shopper from his store take the spoils. “It’s the perfect vehicle for heading out fishing, going on an adventure or carting about materials for Noel’s next DIY project so I’m sure they’ll get great use out of it,” Mr Pawson said.

Hot contest likely in sprintcars Seven years ago Rolleston’s Jamie Duff won the South Island Sprintcar Championship and then decided to take the plunge, contracting to Western Springs Speedway in Auckland. During those years he has won a national championship and has built up a big reputation up at the mecca of New Zealand Speedway, but this Saturday night the quietly spoken concrete cutter will return to his home track at Ruapuna in search of a second South Island crown. Duff has always supported his local track when his hectic schedule has allowed him to, but his entry in the South Island Championship points to the strength of the 800 horsepower V8-engine class on the mainland. There are more than 20 cars entered for the championship, in stark comparison to the nine that entered the North Island event. Regardless of track affiliation, drivers are allowed to compete in either one of the island championships, but not in both. Ruapuna Speedway club president Kevin Clive said

there had been plenty of soulsearching going on in speedway circles north of the Cook Strait as to the continued growth of sprintcar racing in the south. “We have a huge level of cooperation between tracks down here,” Clive said. “We work with each other to deliver an opportunity for bigger fields rather than taking each other on, and the $60,000 War

of the Wings series down here is the springboard to the success that working in with each other delivers.” Clive, a former South Island sprintcar champion, said that this year’s championship would be hotly contested. The championship will be contested over three qualifying heat races, followed by a 25-lap winner-takes-all final.

ANITA MOLLOY-ROBERTS

Competition wide open heading into finals Leeston-Southbridge crumbled against Weedons and Lincoln were too strong for Diamond Harbour-Kaituna in the Ellesmere cricket competition. Leeston-Southbridge were bundled out for 98 which Weedons chased down with seven wickets in hand. The wickets were shared around as Jamie Thiele bagged four for 14, Frazer Austin three for 24 and Josh Watson two for 11. A Hugh Paterson five-wicket bag was the difference between Lincoln and Diamond HarbourKaituna. Paterson’s effort was enough to restrict Diamond Harbour to 148 all out which Lincoln chased down comfortably. While no Lincoln batsmen got more than a start, their chase was notable as Canterbury pace bowler Kyle Jamieson made his debut for the Lincoln side and top-scored with the bat. Those results leave the Ellesmere competition wide open with the finalists to be found in the last two matches next week with Lincoln travelling to Weedons and Leeston-Southbridge hosting Diamond Harbour-Kaituna. The Malvern Judd Cup finalists also won’t be found until the final match between Greendale and Kirwee next

week, after Greendale were too good for South Malvern. South Malvern batted first and were rolled for 146 as Regan Dalley and Nick Jenkins grabbed three wickets each. Greendale cruised to victory in the 29th over with five wickets to spare. In the North Canterbury competition, Sefton and Southbrook will again fight it out for silverware after both sides had comfortable wins. The two sides will have a warm-up next week as they play each other in the final round of the competition before the final the following week. Sefton were too good for Ohoka who batted first and managed 191 from their innings. Southbrook eased past Oxford by 55 runs with their 205 being more than enough to ensure they would reach their second final of the season. Results: Ohoka 191 (S Coffey 58, O Bragg 5/46, J Jones 3/25) lost to Sefton 192/4 (T Harrison 68, N Granger 59*) by six wickets at Sefton. South Malvern 146 (R Dalley 3-36, N Jenkins 3-22) lost to Greendale 147-5 (T Dalley 64, B Chapman 47) by five wickets at Glentunnel. Leeston-Southbridge 98 (J Thiele 4-14, F Austin 3-14, J Watson 2-11) lost to Weedons 99-3 by seven wickets at Weedons. •More sport, pages 21 & 23.

ALCOHOL LICENCE APPLICATION

During March, Selwyn Libraries are hosting visits from Science Alive and a series of Easter storytime sessions.

An application for a club licence renewal from Weedons Country Club is open for submissions until 9 April. See www.selwyn. govt.nz/alcoholnotices.

Science Alive visit Selwyn Libraries each term, offering local children the opportunity to get hands-on with fun science experiments and activities. In March they will be visiting local libraries to talk about bats and their amazing abilities. The sessions run at libraries from 3.30-4.30pm at: · Lincoln on Monday 14 March · Leeston on Tuesday 15 March · Rolleston on Wednesday 16 March · Darfield on Monday 21 March.

The storytime sessions will have stories, songs and fun and are aimed at children aged 2 to 7 but older children, families and grandparents are also very welcome. Easter Storytimes run from 6-7pm at libraries at:

The Council has funding to help meet some of the costs of protecting heritage buildings and trees for the community’s benefit. This may include restoring, reinforcing and protecting heritage buildings, and other structures such as war memorials, sites and trees.

Priority is given to items listed in the Selwyn District Plan. The heritage fund can be used to pay for part of the cost of restoration or protection work, and applicants will also need to fund some of this cost from other sources. Funding cannot be used for routine maintenance, or for improvements which are of personal or commercial benefit. Applications for funding open on 15 March and close on Tuesday 26 April 2016. Applicants need to include at least two quotes from suitably qualified tradespeople. Application forms are available from Council service centres and libraries from 15 March and online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/heritagefund. For more information contact Jessica on 347 2974 or email heritagefund@selwyn.govt.nz.

Rock out in Lincoln Four great local rock bands will be playing at the Ministry of the Mind Annual Rock Concert on Saturday 12 March from 4-8pm. This is a free, family friendly, all ages rock and roll concert on Lincoln Green (by Lincoln Library) where a mix of Selwyn and Christchurch bands will perform. The concert will feature Smokin' Voodo, Resin, Altero and The Reconstruction. Altero is a local Lincoln band who are looking forward to performing in their hometown.

We have 3 ewe lambs in our stock pound that were found on Friday 26 February. If they are yours or you know who they may belong to, please contact animal control on 347 2800. If the owner does not come forward by Monday 14 March, tenders will be accepted. Tenders must be submitted on a form available from Animal Control (phone 347 2800) or from Council Service Centres. Please forward your tender in a sealed envelope labelled ‘Sheep Tender’ by 5pm Friday 18 March.

Fire restrictions A restricted fire season is currently in place in the rural areas of Selwyn until further notice. In a restricted fire season, only gas barbeques, crop residue and rubbish fires inside contained drums, and fires which have received a written permit from Selwyn District Council are allowed in the rural areas of Selwyn. There are a number of conditions which must be met before fires can be lit – these are available online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/fire. Property owners lighting crop fires need to be particularly careful to avoid lighting fires in hot or windy conditions, or when strong wind is forecast, as this elevates the risk of the fire spreading. In these conditions the Council also advises people to avoid activities such as lawn mowing as sparks can easily start a fire. A clear ten metre fire break around crop fires is also required. In residential areas the only type of fire permitted throughout the year is a gas barbeque. Other fires need a resource consent from Environment Canterbury. Fires also cannot be lit on Council reserves - including Coes and Chamberlains Fords and Whitecliffs Reserve.

The Laboratory will have food & refreshments to purchase at the event. The concert is supported by the Selwyn Arts Trust and Selwyn District Council.

On the roads this week Road repairs are planned to Old West Coast, Rockwood, Springs (between University and Collins Road), Brookside and Lowes Road, with traffic controls operating. Road works are also planned along Telegraph, Hororata Dunsandel and Rakaia Terrace Road, with stop and go controls operating. Resealing will occur along Bealey, Springs and Goulds Roads. Where work is not completed this week, work will continue next week. Road closures – Jones Road and Railway Road Jones Road is currently closed between Weedons Ross and Hoskyns Road, to allow the installation of a rail siding by Lyttelton Port Company at MidlandPort. A detour is operating via Weedons Ross, Maddisons and Hoskyns Road. New water and wastewater pipes and fibre cables to service MidlandPort are also being installed during the closure, as well as an entranceway and right hand turning bay into the site and associated road widening and reconstruction works. The closure allows these works to be coordinated by contractors. Vehicles using the detour should expect a short increase in travel times and some delays at main intersections, especially on weekdays from 7.30-9am and 4-6pm. Railway Road is currently closed. The closure is between Jones Road and Kerrs Road and allows sewerage pipes and an entranceway to be installed. A detour is operating via Kerrs Road and Wards Road.

Halswell have kept their title hopes alive in the Robbies Senior A two-day cricket competition with an outright victory over Heathcote at Heathcote Domain. Halswell went into bat on day two with a 27-run first innings lead. At 120-3 they were in a strong position with Leighton Johnston scoring 45 and Mitch Kerr 28. However, Heathcote provided some good bowling and dismissed Halswell for 160, setting up a chase of 187 from 55 overs. Halswell started well taking early wickets before a 70-run partnership put Heathcote back into the game – needing 50

runs with three wickets and 15 overs left. Halswell held their composure and claimed the last wicket with three overs left and Heathcote still needing 20 runs. Geoff Barclay bowled well taking four wickets, along with Johnston who claimed three. Halswell have won their last two games with outright victories and with one round remaining in the competition, three sides have a chance of taking the trophy. Third placed Halswell will host second placed Addington this Saturday in what will be a huge game for both sides.

Getting it right for Kiwis By Emma-Jane McLennan

“Not everything bad in life comes to hurt us.” These are the words artist and designer Rebecca Herring lives by, after a major health scare motivated her to fearlessly follow her dream to start her own business. The former hairdresser went through a major bowel surgery 13 years ago – a surgery she wasn’t expected to survive. It was during her recovery that she discovered a talent which has now turned into a successful fashion brand stocked at 58 stores nationwide. It’s a success story Mrs Herring said she wouldn’t have imagined in her wildest dreams. “I started with painting while I was getting over the surgery, that turned into a gallery and before I knew it, it had become a life-changing career.” Art Style, Mrs Herring’s business, is a multi-platform art, fashion and jewellery design studio – one of the biggest independently-owned ones in New Zealand.

Early autumn is a great time to tackle jobs in the garden that the heavy summer heat doesn’t permit, like getting your lawn back into shape. Plus it’s an ideal time to sow winter crops if you haven’t already. Here are five tasks to get you started. 1 The beauty of growing fruit trees at home means harvesting fruit when they are at their best. Tree ripening enhances flavour and results in juicy, delicious fruit picked right at their peak. The last of summer fruit crops like peaches, nectarines, grapes and passion fruit come to an end. Use bird netting to ensure our feathered friends don’t steal the last of the harvest. 2 Harvest remaining summer crops as they come to an end and start sowing and planting winter veges. This is especially important in cooler areas of the South Island. The reason we do this a little earlier than other regions is so plant roots have time to establish

Give them a final application of fertiliser so they’re in good condition to withstand cooler and wetter winter months and are ready for growth in spring. In cooler regions apply fertiliser to fruit trees, ornamental plants, shrubs and roses up until the end of March. 4 Summer flowering annuals are coming to the end of their growing season. It’s time to remove old plants and prepare beds for winter flowering displays. Prepare soil by adding in plenty of compost and mix in well with existing soil to a spade depth. Some favourite winter annuals to grow are; alyssum, calendulas, cinerarias, cornflowers, larkspur, pansies, poppies, primulars, stock, sweet william and violas. Grow them in the garden or containers to brighten up the winter months. If planting in containers, toss out old potting mix and use new mix prior to planting. Old mix will be lacking nutrients and over time can break down and cause poor drainage. 5 Late March is an excellent time for lawn renova-

Lower lamb prices reducing profits for farmers Weak lamb prices are cutting into sheep and beef farmers’ profits this season, according to Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ), which released its mid-season update last Wednesday.

ix months ago, the organisation’s new season outlook predicted the average farm profit before tax would be around $109,900 for 2015-2016. However, B+LNZ economic service chief economist Andrew Burtt says those predictions were based on better lamb pricing conditions. “The average farm profit before tax has been adjusted downwards by 25 per cent to $82,400 per farm, mainly reflecting a drop in sheep revenue. The effect of weak lamb prices was accentuated by an early lamb processing season, so that a large percentage of lamb sales were into a weakening frozen export market.”

An increase in wool revenue is a small positive. The range of increase per kilogram greasy wool is forecast to be from 15 per cent for medium wool (698 cents), to 5.2 per cent for fine (963 cents) and strong (428 cents) wools. Overall, sheep revenue drops 10 per cent, reflecting a decrease in the lamb price and number of lambs sold. High inventories in China and more domestic lamb being available in the UK (resulting from a lift in UK lamb production and less UK exports to Europe) depressed New Zealand frozen lamb export returns this season.

inc gst

Mr Burtt says the average farm profit before tax is 21 per cent less than the 2014-2015 season. “It will impact South Island farmers more severely, due to the higher ratio of sheep to cattle farmed in the south, and a second year of drought conditions in Marlborough and North Canterbury.” In the South Island, the average Marlborough-Canterbury farm profit is expected to fall 51 per cent, while Otago/ Southland profits are forecast to be 16 per cent less than for 2014-15. Compared with 2013-14, farm profit for these two regions will have reduced by 67 per cent and 40 per cent, respectively. The average North Island farm profit is projected to decrease 12 per cent. The lamb price paid to farmers, on average across the 2015-16 season, is

forecast to average 525 cents per kilogram carcass weight – or $95 per head, based on an average 18-kilogram carcass. February 2016’s farm-gate pricing of around 480 cents per kilogram carcass weight is consistent with achieving the annual forecast of 525 cents per kilogram.

Biological control of thistles being introduced A small green beetle, with a penchant for eating Californian thistle, is being released on farms across the country.

alifornian thistle is more than just a nuisance: it costs sheep and beef farmers an estimated $233m annually in lost pastoral farm revenue. The dispersal of the biological control agent Cassida rubiginosa – or green thistle beetle – is offering sheep and beef farmers hope of a long-term solution for controlling this pervasive weed. Mike Cripps from AgResearch has been leading a Sustainable Farming Fund project called ‘Bio-control of Californian Thistle in Hill Country Sheep Farms’. Co-funded by Beef + Lamb New Zealand, the project has involved establishing beetle populations on trial farms in North Canterbury and the Manawatu, and looking at the longterm impact the beetle has on Californian thistle populations. Mr Cripps is travelling to field days around the country with a cargo of live beetles and offering them to attendees who are interested in establishing a population on their farms. He will be at the ‘Planning, management and opportunities for farming in tough conditions’ event being held on Thursday, March10, 2pm to 5.30pm at the Akaroa Golf Club, where he will present results and have some beetles to give away. Cassida rubiginosa is a small green beetle whose food of choice is Californian thistle, although trials are showing that it will also eat other members of the thistle tribe, including nodding and marsh thistles. While both the adult and larval stages feed on the thistles, it is the larvae that cause the most damage: they remove all the green tissue and skeletonise the plant (as shown in the image at the top of this page). The result is very visual, unlike other bio-control agents that attack plants from the inside. Establishing beetles on your farm • The natural range of Cassida rubiginosa stretches from southern to northern Europe, so it can adapt to a variety of

climatic conditions. • It will take several years for populations to build sufficiently on your farm to start controlling thistles – but once established, they can eat a lot of thistles in a short time. • Resist the urge to use conventional thistle control methods while they’re getting established – this will prevent the buildup of beetle numbers. • Adult beetles don’t travel long distances – maximum of five kilometres – so it’s important to build up a localised population before dispersing the beetles to other parts of the farm. Life cycle • The larvae are most active in late December, before they pupate, emerge as adults and go undercover for winter. The adults tend to disperse into hedges, fence lines and under leaf litter for winter. They emerge in spring to reproduce.

The natural range of Cassida rubiginosa stretches from southern to northern Europe, so it can adapt to a variety of climatic conditions.

Jeep geared up for the trail

MY DAUGHTER phoned me from Queenstown, her trusty old Toyota Celica was steaming, well actually it is a car owned by my wife and myself, but Elizabeth uses it on a daily basis. She had driven south to compete in an athletic event, and although the journey was uneventful, after a day in the south the car had developed a water leak and it was running hot. After several conversations we developed a plan to have the car checked and an appropriate repair initiated. Plan B was to drive south and intervene, I looked at the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk in the driveway and wondered if the distributors here in New Zealand would mind if I clocked up a quick 1000km. As it turned out, a Queenstown mechanic diagnosed a broken radiator cap, and just $26 later all of our troubles were over. That being the case, a journey south in the Jeep wasn’t necessary, but I’m sure it would have been comfortable nonetheless. The Trailhawk is built in the traditional Jeep way, it has a big V6 engine, it carries drive to all four wheels, and has a spacious

in-cabin environment. The Trailhawk lists at $67,490, its 3.2-litre engine is petrolfed, and it has chassis and suspension mechanicals which will take you well off the beaten track. There are four-cylinder diesel and petrol engine options in the Cherokee range, but the Trailhawk’s big V6 is rather special. It is listed with 200kW and 316Nm power outputs. Consequently it is a powerhouse in terms of output. Jeep label this unit as part of its Pentastar series, and like all the vehicles I’ve experienced before, it has a solid flow of energy and a strong, vibrant nature.

Chrysler/ Dodge/Jeep claim a 10-litre per 100km (28mpg) combined cycle rating, that compares well with the 11.3l/100km (25mpg) figure showing on the rev counter during my time with the test car. On the road the Trailhawk rides quietly and effortlessly, it steers with reasonable accuracy and has dignified handling manners. SUVs have become car-like with their ability to tackle quick corners, and the Cherokee is no different.

I took the car on a short off-road track near North Canterbury’s Garry River. I didn’t venture anywhere serious, but I did place the test car at a series of mounds and undulations where grip was a little challenging. With 221mm of ground clearance I was confident in the conditions, and with the power proportioning system promoting drive in each direction there was little chance of grip being challenged. And the Cherokee in this form gets a host of switchable terrain-selection modes at the driver’s discretion including a serious low ratio mode and hill

descent control. The Trailhawk is also the well-specced SUV you would expect for its price, especially for safety, and comfort and convenience – major items include full leather and sat nav. The controls are all intuitive while the interior packaging is fresh and modern. Even though my evaluation was a lot shorter in distance than it could have been, the 250km I travelled was enough to form a likeable impression of the Trailhawk. Jeep is no stranger to producing vehicles which cater for a wide market audience, after all, that is what Jeep stands for, it is an acronym for general purpose. The Trailhawk fits well in that category, it has tried and trusted mechanicals which will take you well into the wilderness.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections in the Selwyn District

Colouring up the interior T

he reign of white in home interiors continues. Where the monochromatic colour scheme where just a splash of colour was in vogue 2015, more colour is the theme for 2016 with colour introduced into the home in various ways. The earthy shades that give a natural feel are still there yet stronger than before ranging from warm rose clay shades to natural beiges. Blends of golds and silvers, or mixes of fresh minty greens that are soft and restful are also on the colour palette. There is also a sway towards soft pastel pinks and rose shades linked with other pastel shades with the phase of blues and greys not over. Augment these with a mix of colours that reflect your personality. When choosing pastels, go for fresh fruity soft peaches and yellows, or pale blues contrasted with black, navy, tan or earthy greens. Warm brown shades might also be chosen for paintwork to compliment wooden floors and cabinetry. Choosing opposites on the colour wheel is still an approach to take. However, where the leaning was towards black and white, now variations of red might be added to the mix – from deep blue or plum reds through to brilliant shades of red or hot magenta pink. If wanting more vibrancy, the latest in home

interior colours allows for a good splash of colour whether it is strong greens, yellows or orange intermingling with pinks and softer blues. The blues might also be indicative of nature as they appear in the sky or a stormy sea. Colours can be used in a disciplined blend or off the radar as an eclectic mix whether a brilliant orange or scarlet red. Personal preference should lead the choice of bright colours which are most practical when introduced in feature walls or accessories such as cushions, wall hangings, ornaments and throws. They will add life and an element of fun to the home yet can be easily changed when desired. When bringing colours together, consider how they blend in a rainbow or the effect of a flowering garden bringing flecked, speckled or floral patterns into a room. Designs might be painted onto a wall such as stripes or a stencil. Functionality may also be a factor in choosing colours especially for walls where write-on paint might be applied to walls in an office, kitchen or child’s bedroom, or the latter might have a blackboard wall. With such a diverse range of options, the choice of colours and combinations of shades is wide, open to one’s imagination and preferences.

Smart building materials save pennies

sing building materials wisely in the design of your new home or existing home can improve temperature regulation, creating a more efficient and cost-effective home. Using simple physics principles, thermal mass works by moving heat from warmer surfaces to cooler ones. When the sun penetrates a room, it is absorbed into the walls, floor and all other surfaces. Dense materials such as concrete, brick, stone, clay and tiles are high in thermal mass, absorbing and retaining the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat, which will be released when outside temperatures drop. When implemented correctly, using the right amount in the right place, with proper insulation and combined with passive solar design, thermal mass can play an important role in major reductions in energy use in active heating and cooling systems all year round. In summer, thermal mass absorbs heat from the inside air, providing a cooling effect on a hot day as it does during the cooler months when the thermal mass will absorb the heat from within a room during the day and radiate the heat once the sun goes down. Individual properties of thermal mass materials are important factors to consider when choosing the most effective solutions to heating and cooling for your home. Concrete containing stones, for example, is more thermally conductive than concretes with ash, perlite, fibers and other insulating aggregates. The level of heat materials can hold is dependent upon what they are made up of and their thickness. While some materials take longer to absorb heat, they hold it for longer. Materials must contain three key components in order to absorb, store and radiate heat: the material must be dense and heavy to absorb and store significant amounts of heat (lighter materials, such as wood, absorb less heat); the material has to be a reasonably good heat conductor; and the material should have a dark and/or textured surface, which helps it to absorb and re-radiate heat. Where the thermal mass materials are used in the home are anywhere that is exposed to direct sunlight and has the potential to absorb heat. Install materials

near windows or other glazed areas on the north-facing aspect of the house. The most effective way to increase thermal mass in the home is with a well insulated concrete slab floor. Use for the whole surface area of a space, or even just a strip of polished or tiled concrete along a sunny spot can have a huge impact. Brick, concrete, concrete block and rammed earth can be used for internal or external walls if they catch the sun or are close to a radiant heat source. Walls can either be solid or an internal veneer. External thermal mass walls must be insulated on the external surface to prevent heat loss and exposed on the inside of the house (that is, without internal lining, but it can be plastered, painted or wallpapered). Some existing homes already have thermal mass, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently being used to its full potential. Any concrete slab in a north-facing room can absorb and store heat, just long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncovered and insulated. Therefore ripping up flooring coverings such as carpet, vinyl, timber or cork, to expose the concrete underneath can help reduce your heating bills. Thermal mass can be added to existing homes during renovations by laying a concrete floor in a new extension, adding a brick or stone feature wall to the interior of the house which is exposed to direct sunlight and be well insulated, or by adding a conservatory with high thermal mass in the floor or walls.
