According to preliminary results 56.6% of voters opted to retain the current New Zealand flag, while in Selwyn only 48.2% chose that option with 51.7% choosing the Kyle Lockwood designed flag.

Voter turnout in Selwyn was higher than the national average with 78.7% of Selwyn’s 35,724 registered voters casting a ballot compared to 67.3% nationwide.

Nationwide a total of 2,124,507 votes were cast from a pool of 3,158,576 registered voters. That included 4,942 informal votes (0.23%) and 4,554 invalid votes (0.21%).

The Electoral Commission said Informal votes are those where the voter has not clearly indicated the option they wish to vote for.

“This can be because the voter leaves the paper blank, the voter takes

deliberate action to spoil the paper, or an error by the voter means that their intention is not clear.

“Invalid votes are excluded from the count and include, for example, voting papers that cannot be processed because the voter has made the QR code unreadable, or voting papers that have been cancelled as a result of replacement voting papers being issued.”

The Selwyn District Council provided recycling stations at Coes Ford, Chamberlains Ford and Castle Hill Village over the summer school holiday period.

Council’s solid waste manager Andrew Boyd said rubbish bins were already provided at these sites but the new recycling stations provided an option to recycle various types of materials and allowed a total of 3,480kg of material to be recycled.

"Feedback about the recycling stations from campers and residents in these areas was very positive and the new stations encourage people to recycle their waste rather than putting it in a rubbish bin which ends up in a landfill," Mr Boyd said.

"Rubbish from busy camping spots can also be dumped elsewhere and

end up spoiling our environment. The recycling stations provide people with a more responsible way of getting rid of glass bottles, drink cans, plastic containers and other recyclable material.”

Mr Boyd said most of the recycling material deposited in the new stations was correctly sorted by campers to avoid contaminating the recycling stream.

“The recycling stations at Chamberlains and Coes Ford will remain at their current locations until mid-2016, so council can assess demand for them to remain at these locations on a more permanent basis.

“The recycling station trial will continue at Castle Hill while council consults on options for a permanent recycling service at Castle Hill and Arthur's Pass.”

“This is Selwyn Central Arts Council 13th Annual Arts Heart Exhibition and every year the committee is astounded at the breadth and depth of the talent in this area,” Arts Council chair Rails Mackey said.

“There’s a wide cross section of ages also, from 15 to 80 years old, with sculptors, painters, drawers, hammerers, throwers, breakers, sewers and snappers all exhibiting their work for sale.”

Ms Mackey said Arts Heart was founded by Heather Wild and Annette Foster who saw need to support local artists.

“They engaged the support of a group of people interested in the arts and along with assistance from the Selwyn District Council formed Arts Heart.

“We are about encouraging new

The West Melton School’s Eco Warriors have done it again, picking up a Silver Award for their garden, ‘Value the Land’, at the Oderings School Garden Competition, which is run by the Christchurch Horticultural Society. “The exhibitions were top rate and incredibly well put together so it was fantastic for us to improve on our bronze win from last year,” teacher aide Rita Spadoni said. Photographed in their award winning garden are West Melton pupils Jed (at back), Rosie, Amelia and Oliver.

The event, which is held every two years, is run by the Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade as a fundraiser and this year funds will be used to improve communication equipment and upgrade their defibrillator.

“Other volunteer fire brigades from around Selwyn help out on the day and use it to raise funds for their brigade while other groups like St John and Malvern Lions are also involved,” Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Nev Croy said.

“A number of car groups like the American Classic Car Club will contribute to the wheels section.”

Mr Croy said there will be a number of demonstrations from fire crews and the new crash tender from Christchurch airport will be on display.

“Interest in the event is high and now we are just hoping for a good day.”

The event is being held at an airstrip on Charlie and Jo Draper’s farm on Kimberley Road, Darfield, with the gates opening at 7.30am.

Chancellor Tom Lambie officially opened the building this month, an occasion he described as a red letter day for Lincoln.

The new Field Research Centre facilities replace those previously located in the earthquake damaged, and now demolished, Hilgendorf Building, and offer a complete suite for field based plant science research, with paddocks, laboratory, growth chambers and academic staff all on one site.

The development is a collaboration between the Wine, Food and Molecular Biosciences Department and the Agricultural Sciences Department.

Plant Science Professor Derrick Moot said the addition of the laboratory and growth chambers complements the field based research that has been happening in the adjacent paddocks for over 100 years.

“The combined facility will be one of the few in the world that enables post graduate students to move seamlessly

from field to laboratory to process samples in one facility. There are a number of projects ready to go for the growth chambers.”

Professor Moot said being without growth cabinets to control temperature and light has made research difficult and put some on hold altogether.

“The earthquakes created a lot of disruption for staff and students at Lincoln University, but in this case it also provided a golden, or more appropriately ‘green’, opportunity to enhance our crop and pasture research.”

The controlled environment facility is a university-wide resource which will be used by Masters and PhD students and staff from a number of university departments.

Technical Officer Stephen Stilwell said the facility consists of four walk-in chambers (growth chambers) with programmable lighting, temperature and additive humidity and CO2 control, supplemental UV lighting and anteroom supply-air control.

Professor Bruce McKenzie and Chancellor Tom Lambie cut the ribbon to officially open the new Field Research Centre Laboratory at Lincoln University.

“The potential uses for the facility are extremely varied, including tropical simulations, frost studies and climate change scenarios.

The chamber temperature cycle and day length can be programmed to produce out of season plants, for teaching or research purposes.”

Site works on the $4.7 million development, which includes a new administration area, got under way this month.

Principal Sue Jackson said last year had been one of phenomenal growth for them with the school finishing the year with just over 460 pupils.

“We had 130 new students join the school by August of last year and the ministry has acknowledged that growth by staffing us for 490 pupils, which is

up from the 438 students previously.“We are certainly not the little rural

school we were 10 years ago, however, we have tried to retain those aspects of rural life which the community has told us they want to keep and for which many moved to the area for.”

She said the new development was also about future proofing the school and hopes to have the building complete by October.

Work is under way on West Melton School’s new classroom and administration block.

A prohibited fire season or total fire ban was in place across the district, but following recent rain the fire status has been altered to move to a restricted fire season in the rural areas of Selwyn.

"The change follows rain during March which has reduced the fire risk from extreme to moderate," Selwyn’s Principal Rural Fire Officer Douglas Marshall said.

In a restricted fire season, only gas barbeques, crop residue and rubbish fires inside contained drums are allowed in rural areas of Selwyn.

“Vegetation fires to burn trees or other items are not allowed unless permitted and there are a number of conditions which must be met before fires can be lit,” Mr Marshall said.

Restricted fire seasonFire restrictions have been reinstated in the Selwyn district.

“Permits for any burning not specified as allowed above in a restricted fire season will be extremely limited and only approved where an urgent need for a property owner is identified.”

He said with the change in restrictions, crop stubble fires may be seen in rural areas in Selwyn.

“People are asked to check whether anyone is present to control the fire before reporting it via 111 to avoid unnecessary call outs to volunteer fire brigades. If no one is present to control the fire it should be reported by dialling 111.”

Mr Marshall said council will be monitoring the fire risk daily, and restrictions may change based on fire risk indices.

A Leading Learners workshop is being held for people on their learner's licence in April. The workshop is for young drivers and their parents to gain practical skills to improve their driving skills and knowledge.

The half-day course includes a variety of activities to learn about emergency braking, driving on different road surfaces, managing distractions and peer pressure. It also includes a driving lesson, for both learner and parent, with a driving instructor. All of the sessions are delivered by NZTA qualified driving instructors.

"The course will be hugely beneficial not only for young drivers, but also for their parents, as they work through the sessions together. The teens will also be spending time with the instructors practising the skills they are shown," says Selwyn District Council's Road Safety Co-ordinator Ngaire Tinning.

The upcoming session will be held on Tuesday, April 26 between 8.30am and 1pm at Ruapuna Park in Templeton. To participate, students need to have a current learner driver licence which they

The Hilgendorf building, which opened in 1968, was demolished last year to make way for a master building plan on campus.

Lincoln University landscape architecture tutor Don Royds said the event was called a Vertical Studio because it involved School of Landscape Architecture students from every year group.

“The students are usually restricted to working within their own year group, but this was a great opportunity to help make them feel like they’re part of something bigger.

“Since the Hilgendorf site is a prominent space here, it would

undervalue the location to leave it empty until a new building is constructed.”

The students were split into groups and took part in four staff-led design activities between 9am and 3pm.

“They looked at how they could find opportunities to create interesting designs and were asked to think about landscape intervention, rather than just putting grass on the site,” Mr Royds said.

“The event gave the students a chance to be actively involved with the campus and how it is coordinated. After all, who knows the campus better than the students?”

Spotlight on Darfield

With its cafés, accommodation, gallery and shops, Darfield becomes a bustling town in winter as the busy ski season draws in people on their way through to one of the six ski fields Selwyn has to offer.

Darfield was given its name by John Jebson who named it after a place in Yorkshire, England. The original name means ‘field frequented by deer’.

The town under the Nor’west archDarfield is the gateway to Selwyn’s natural playgrounds, with its splendid views of the Mount Hutt and Torlesse Ranges of the Southern Alps, it serves the Malvern district’s arable and pastoral farming area.

It was first known as White Cliffs Junction, then Horndon Junction, which was changed in 1879 owing to confusion with Hornby Junction.

For most of its existence Darfield has served as a centre for the west Selwyn farming community, with its rail link into Christchurch.

But like many Canterbury rural towns it was affected by urban drift

as residents sought work in cities like Christchurch. However, in recent years that trend has been reversed with people choosing the rural lifestyle of Darfield and its surrounds over city life.

Part of that is because of large scale investment in the region by large companies such as Fonterra and the growth of local businesses as they

respond to the influx of new residents with post-earthquake Cantabrians choosing commuting over living in the city.

The 2013 census recorded that 1,935 people live in the Darfield township, which is an increase of 264 people, or 15.8 percent, since the 2006 census, meaning Darfield has 4.3 percent of Selwyn district's total population.

Darfield produces regular and instant whole milk powder. At full steam, it processes 7.2 million litres of milk per day, which produces enough milk powder to fill 15,000 shipping containers a year.

Darfield is in the Malvern Ward of the Selwyn electoral district and is home to the Malvern Community Board.

Members of the board are elected every three years at the local body elections along with councillors and the mayor.

The Malvern Ward is divided into two areas, the Hawkins Subdivision and the Tawera Subdivision, with three board members coming from the Hawkins Subdivision and two from Tawera. Malvern is also represented by two district councillors, currently John Morten and Sam Broughton.

The current Malvern Community Board is made up of: Jenny Gallagher

(chair), Bob Mugford (deputy chair), Mary Ireland, Judith Pascoe and Kerry Pauling.

The community board is a stand-alone body which provides a point of contact between the district council and Malvern’s local communities.

According to Local Government New Zealand the purpose of a community board is to:

• represent and act as an advocate for the interests of the community

• consider and report on any matter referred to it by their council, and any issues of interest to the community board

• make an annual submission to their council on expenditure

• maintain an overview of services provided by their council within the community

• communicate with community organisations and special interest groups in the community

• undertake any other responsibilities delegated by their council

Here are a few tips for lifestyle block owners to take into account when preparing for winter’s icy blast. Pastures

Pastures will be starting to recover as we get a few more rainy and cloudy days and the weather cools and evaporation rates reduce.

Before deciding what pastures need re-sowing wait and see what comes back up. It’s amazing how pastures rejuvenate from yellow, dry and seemingly lifeless ground cover to lush beds of life, given half the chance.

If you do decide to replenish your pasture the cheapest option is to ‘oversow’ new seed into the pasture with a drill, adding fertiliser at the same time. Get advice from local experts about the best seed to plant for your soil and climate. What works well in Russel’s Flat may not necessarily suit West Melton.

Supplementary feed for stock is

by Dr Clive Dalton, www.lifestyleblock.co.nz.

Autumn is a time of renewal and recovery down on the lifestyle block, and a time to get prepared for the harsh winter months ahead.

expensive over winter so it’s important to avoid waste. Animals can be picky eaters so make sure they clean up their last feed properly before giving them the next. With hay fed it's often a good idea to feed it in a hayrack so it can be moved and the leftovers cleaned up. Spreading the dropped seed could be very useful too.

Check what weeds are in the hay and if possible remove them, especially docks, thistles and ragwort, as their seeds will germinate freely on the bare pasture patches. If you have to feed concentrates and can afford the costs, they needs to be fed in troughs and only feed what they can clean up in one go, as you don't want all the sparrows in the district helping themselves, and risking the spread of salmonella.

Before willow and poplar leaves die off completely, get pruning and feed them to stock and start planning where to plant more so you can coppice them

in a rotation. They provide good quality feed that is also rich in minerals.Sheep

Ewes seem to survive hot dry weather in surprisingly good order if they have plenty of shade and clean water. If you have any really skinny sheep, they will need urgent priority feeding from now to get them into shape for lambing. You'll need to feed some concentrates or get rid of them as you probably have too many on the farm.

Sheep will scour on lush autumn feed

when it comes and don't assume its worms. Get a Faecal Egg Count (FEC) done to make sure the problem is not caused by internal parasites.

If young stock is not growing well, then it's most likely lack of feed is the problem so fix that first.

Facial Eczema spores will still be around in April despite the cooler nights and declining soil temperatures, so keep up the FE precautions to ensure you don’t have problems later.Cattle

As with sheep, getting your cattle in good condition is the top priority. Be prepared to supplement feed where necessary in order to get your stock in good condition.

Talk to your veterinarian about feeding molasses to any cattle that need an energy boost during winter and early spring.

Young stock is always the main concern and if they get down in condition, you may see a whole range of afflictions can affect them, which will cause problems in their later performance.

'Autumn ill thrift' in young stock is a term that can combine mineral and trace element deficiencies, worms, yersiniosis and salmonella. Get a correct veterinary diagnosis before spending money on products that may not work. The cause is often lush feed of too high a protein level so some concentrate meal will help balance up the diet.

Build & Renovate

The project recycles curtains donated by the public and gives them away for free to households who cannot afford curtains. The curtains help to keep homes warmer.

The Curtain Bank was one of CEA’s first projects after the establishment of the organisation in 1994.

Apart from running a Curtain Bank, CEA also has an insulation service and independent energy advice service for households of all incomes. Subsidies may be available for low income households.

“Twenty one years later the Curtain Bank is still going, albeit on a completely different scale,” CEA chief executive Caroline Shone said.

“Last year we helped 780 households including some in Selwyn, a new record in the Curtain Bank’s history. Most households received curtains for multiple rooms.

“We started with a few curtains, a part-time staff member and a few volunteers in a small office room, now we are operating from much larger premises, have racks full of curtains and multiple staff altering curtains where needed.

“Last year we incorporated a mobile service into the Curtain Bank that helps clients who have mobility problems and can’t come to our Curtain Bank in the CBD.

“It’s become a very efficient process, necessary to be able to help so many people. We still have volunteers helping us. We couldn’t operate the Curtain Bank without them and are always looking for more, sorting curtains that come in, helping with sewing, and so on.”

Despite that, the Curtain Bank still experiences a waiting list in winter so people who need curtains are advised to contact the Curtain Bank sooner rather than later.

Curtain recycling coming of ageLocal trust Community Energy Action (CEA) is celebrating 21 years of its Curtain Bank this year.

The Curtain Bank is proudly supported by Genesis Energy and also receives funding from the Lottery Grants Boards. A substantial amount of the Curtain Bank expenses are covered by the trust itself.

Gardening

1. Start well. Before planting, prepare the ground thoroughly and be sure to get rid of all perennial weeds, especially if you are planting groundcovers. For effective weed eradication on larger areas, glysophate (aka Roundup) is one of the best time savers we have. For difficult woody weeds ask advice at your garden centre or go to www.weedbusters.co.nz.

2. Cover the ground with mulch or mat forming plants to keep the weeds down and conserve water. Top up with organic mulch every spring.

3. Choose plants that suit your soil and climate.

4. Select disease resistant varieties for an ever-healthy garden that never needs to be sprayed. For example if you like roses, choose disease resistant Flower Carpet roses.

5. Plant mainly trees and shrubs. As their roots grow deeper into the ground, trees and shrubs grow more and more self sufficient with age, surviving the summer with little or no water watering. Take care to choose those that will not outgrow their space in your time frame.

6. Patience pays. Beware of plants that grow so quickly that they need constant trimming or replacing after a short time. Plant lots of slow growing evergreens that only need trimming once every few years.

7. Raise the height of garden beds, especially vege beds. This not only makes for easier maintenance, but also improves drainage.

8. Invest in quality tools and maintain them well. Many garden centres offer a tool sharpening service.

9. Grow flowering annuals in pots instead of garden beds. A few big

pots are easier to care for.

10. Invest in hard surfaces. A well-designed and constructed patio or deck takes a lot less work than an expanse of lawn.

11. Install a watering system, ideally with a timer. It will help save water, as well as time.

12. Keep it simple. When designing a garden, avoid complicated wiggly edges. Straight lines and bold sweeping curves are easier to maintain. Small areas of lawn that are tricky to access may be less work if mass planted in easy-care groundcovers.

Time savers for gardenersA garden is a place to relax and unwind. If yours sometimes feels more like a chore, here are some ways you can make your garden less time consuming.

Store these in labelled containers for planting later and you can save yourself a bundle.Plant

Broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, celery, coriander, lettuces, parsley, radishes, rosemary, spinach, spring onions, silverbeet.

Don’t forget to pot up your strawberry plants ready for replanting in the winter.Harvest

Apples, beans, beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, capsicum, carrots, cauliflowers, corn, courgettes, cucumbers, grapes, lettuces, pears, peas, potatoes, tomatoesMaintenance• Prune your fruit trees once they have

finished providing fruit. Remove unhealthy looking branches.

Gardener’s Diary for AprilAutumn is a great time to plant new lawn or do some maintenance on the old one and it’s also the time for harvesting seeds from plants.

• Stake and tie up climbing plants, such as runner beans.

• Pull out corn and tomato plants once you have harvested. These can be added to the compost heap.

• Replenish your soil from the nutrients sucked up by your summer crops. Now’s the time to add nutrient dense compost and manure.

• You can rest sections of your garden also, and replenish them by growing a nitrogen rich crop such as mustard seed, which can be grown through the winter and mulched back into the soil before flowering. Lupins can be used in the same way.Enjoy your autumn days and take time

to sit back on a deck chair and reflect on the joys of your hard work.
