CHANGES TO the tricky roundabout near the Rolleston dog park will be fast-tracked to make it safer for students at the new college.

The Goulds Rd, Tennyson St, Springston Rolleston Rd and Lowes Rd roundabout has been a tricky one for motorists to negotiate for years.

The Rolleston Residents Association chairwoman Nicole Reid (left) and Rolleston College principal Steve Saville

outlined their safety concerns at a recent Selwyn District road safety subcommittee.

The college is scheduled to open next year with a starting roll of between 200-250 students.

Changes to the roundabout will be made next month.

The key change will be four access points to the roundabout instead of five.

Goulds Rd will be closed at the roundabout, making it a

dead end.Current work extending

Broadlands Drive past the college to creating a roundabout at Springston Rolleston Rd will be finished this month, to dove tail into the changes at the five-legged roundabout.

Mr Saville said the school wants to encourage students to cycle but they were concerned about safety issues at the current roundabout.

District council asset

manager of transportation, Andrew Mazey said the changes will be made because the roundabout has become increasingly under pressure and less safe with the build up of traffic in the area.

He said the closure will improve the safety and performance of the existing roundabout.

Mr Saville said the school was initially concerned about students being able to cycle safely to the school but

are pretty confident the whole situation is going to be resolved before the college opens.

Changes to tricky roundabout

By Caitlin Miles By Caitlin Miles

ABOUT 75 car parks will go from the centre of Lincoln, the Selwyn Times can reveal.

Thirty-four will go along the core retail area on Gerald St, and 41 from Marion Place to West Belt.

Retailers are furious at the district council decision. They say it will have a major impact on their busi-nesses.

The car parks are going to allow for cycle lanes from the university, through the town centre and be-yond.

The cycle lanes will be put in as a result of being identified as the No 1 priority in the Lincoln Town Centre Plan, a council spokesman said.

He said the lost car parks will be replaced by new car parks in the immediate vicinity of the town centre.

It is too early to know precisely the number of new car parks that will be established, as detailed plan-ning of the new parking precincts has yet to be undertaken, he said.

At this stage it is anticipated that 26 new car parks will be established in the Lyttelton St, Maurice St and West Belt (north and south) precincts, and around 50 new car parks are expected to be created in new communal parking areas.

UNSAFE: The five-legged roundabout has caused some concern from residents about how students will navigate the roundabout once Rolleston College opens next year.

A FEW drivers got caught in a pot hole near the intersection of Hoskyns Rd and State Highway 1.

The pot hole apparently appeared after all the rain on Wednesday morning.

But when the Selwyn Times called the district council and NZ Transport

Agency to find out who was going to fix it, each said it was the other organisations responsibility.

The NZTA confirmed later that day that the pot hole had actually been filled in that morning but not until after it had claimed a few car tyres and rims.

AGENCIES POINT FINGERS OVER POT HOLE

CONTROVERSY MAY be about to brew again over where the Lincoln skatepark could go. You may remember a couple of years ago it reared its head, with the district council opting to pull the idea completely. But Lincoln lad Josh Brown, 14, just wants a place where he and his mates can skate. Surely there can be a compromise? Let me know your thoughts.

Congratulations must go to Kirwees Jenny Gallagher and Prebbletons Selma Scott for receiving a Queens Service Medal yesterday.

This week we start a monthly column from the Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee. Water and its use can be source of much division in the community. Whatever which way you think, it is important to get the facts and we hope this regular column will help keep you informed.

NewsIn BriefHOSKYNS CROSSING CLOSEDThe railway crossing on Hoskyns Rd in Rolleston will be closed for maintenance work on Friday between 9am-3pm. The closure effects the section by State Highway 1. During the closure, vehicles will still be able to travel from Rolleston township and State Highway 1 towards the Izone business park and Hoskyns Rd. But the crossing will be closed to traffic coming from the other direction. A detour will run via Jones Rd and Weedons Ross Rd.

ELLESMERE, MALVERN PLANS Consultation on the draft annual plans for Ellesmere and Malvern will close on Monday. The proposals are for the development of Malvern and Ellesmere for the next 15 years. Submissions for the Ellesmere plan close Monday 13 June at midday. To make a submission, go to www.selwyn.govt.nz/services/planning/policy-strategy/ellesmere-and-mal-vern-area-plans

WASTE AND WASTEWATER The district council is currently seeking public consultation on its Draft Trade Waste Bylaw and Draft Wastewater Drainage Bylaw. They govern the discharge of trade wastes into the sewerage system, and the discharge of wastewater from any dwelling into the wastewater system. Consultation will close next month. To make a submission, go to the district council website.

By Caitlin MilesA SKATEPARK may become a reality for Lincoln with public consultation due to start later this month.

The district council wants to make a com-munity park in Lincoln with the idea first proposed in 2014. But the district council are yet to release where it thinks the park should go.

Plans were originally put on hold but the possibility has come back up again in the latest proposal.

In 2014, when the community park was planned, a report to the Selwyn District Council recommended a preferred site at the back of the clubrooms at the end of Meijer Dr.

But these plans were met with contention from the rugby clubroom which was wor-ried about vandalism.

The plans were later put on hold by the council and no time line was given for when it would be made.

Lincoln High School student Josh Brown (right), 14, has wanted a skatepark in the area for many years.

It has been four years since Josh started advo-cating for the idea. He would still like to see it get the go ahead.

I think the kids in the area would really enjoy having one here, he said.

Leeston, Prebbleton, Darfield and Rolles-ton have skateparks and Josh thinks Lincoln should follow suit.

So many other areas in Selwyn have them, I still think Lincoln should do it . . .It would be nice to see the council and the councillors agree to it and get one, he said.

Lincoln Primary School pupils Lewis Par-tidge, Connor Hazlett and Kaleb Belmonte really want a skatepark, too, because the other places with skateparks are too far away.

Some kids parents dont want them bus-

sing to other places on their own, and the cost of using the bus builds up, Lewis said.

It would be good to have it across from the event centre, because then parents can keep an eye on their kids while doing other stuff, Connor said.

Kaleb Belmonte said there are a lot of kids at school who would use it.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think Lin-coln should have a skate park? Where do you think it should go? Send your views to [email protected]

BOARD TALK: Lewis Partridge, Connor Hazlett and Kaleb Belmonte use a ramp and small jump outside the Lincoln Event Centre, but they want more jumps and ramps to use.

Hearing well is a gift and for those with hearing loss, hearing aids are the tool that allows them to hear well again. It is best practice to get hearing aids fitted as soon as persons hearing falls out-side the normal range. Many people wait until their hearing loss is having a significant impact on their lives before seeking advice or help. This not only delays the enoyment of better hearing but what most people dont realise, is that it takes time to adjust to wearing hearing aids.

There is the misconception that as soon as someone is fitted with a hearing aid, that they will instantly hear perfectly again. This is not the reality as our brains and hearing aids need to work in tandum. If someone has suffered from severe loss for

many years, the amplification settings in a hearing device will expose their brain to more sounds such as background noise, than it has experienced in a long time. All of a sudden, everything seems too loud and is hard to process. The best practice is to fit hearing aids long before it gets to this stage. Your brain will thank you for it. Addressing hearing loss sooner removes a layer of stress and allows your brain to keep up!

Maintaining good hearing goes hand in hand with brain function in later life. Strug-gling with hearing loss is one underlying cause to deteri-oration in the brains ability to process information. The specialist advice is to maintain good hearing and not allow the brain to experience severe hearing loss.

Further to the science is the more personal side of living with hearing loss. Any dete-rioration in hearing has an impact. The greater the loss, the greater the effects on everyday life and experiences. It may start with having to turn the television up one or two clicks but the undeniable truth is that it will become 20 clicks over time. If this is you, your family will be nodding in agreement!

The key is to not be an ostrich. Hearing loss happens to the best of us and the solution is to start by having a hearing test and a conversation with your audiologist. Hearing is valuable and therefore trusting in the care you receive is vital.

When should you consider hearing aids?

By Bridget RutherfordLAKE FORSYTHS condition has improved remarkably with the recent rainfall after recurring toxic algal blooms flared up, killing animals.

Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee chairman Steve Lowndes said the rainfall had had a positive impact on the lakes water quality and condi-tion.

The water in the lake has improved remarkably since the rain and bad weather.

It breaks up the algal bloom and the wind has been blowing left, right and centre.

Last week, from Monday night to Wednesday morning the Cooptown weather station near Little River recorded about 65ml of rain.

Mr Lowndes (right) lives next to the lake, which runs from Birdlings Flat towards Little River.

The lakes quality came under fire in April when the algal bloom flared up after a run of dry weather.

The water was green with toxic slime, and it was reported 30 sheep had died after drink-ing it.

Environment Canterbury sci-ence water manager Tim Davie said the latest results from sam-pling were from May 24.

The concentrations of nodu-laria (the toxic cyanobacteria) as of May 24 have declined but are still high enough to warrant a health warning, he said.

We expect these to decline significantly in the next two weeks given the cold weather and significant rain but at present we have advised Canter-bury District Health Board of

the need for a continued health warning.

Wairewa Runanga and the city council were granted a con-sent in March to continue using the pilot opening from the lake to the sea for 35 years.

Lake Forsyth, or Wairewa, is the only customary lake in the South Island.

Ngai Tahu has the customary title over it, meaning only iwi members can fish for eel from the lake.

More on water quality, p10

CENTRAL PLAINS WATERThe district council is looking to buy shares in the Central Plains Water Scheme to enable the irrigation of its farms at Creyke Rd in Darfield and the Hororata Reserve. This would allow the irrigation of about 188ha of land. The estimated total cost of irrigating the two properties, including the purchase of shares, is $1.788 million.

WATER MANAGEMENTA working draft Water Conservation and Demand Management Plan is up for approval at tomorrows district council meeting. The document includes an improvement plan for water demand management in the future, intended to address the need for sustainable and efficient use of water resources.

BUILDING WARRANT OF FITNESSThe district council are hosting a free event for building owners to discuss building warrant of fitness requirements and responsibilities. A building warrant of fitness is a certificate which is renewed annually and must be displayed in the building. People interested in attending must register by June 21. The event will be held on June 23 at the Lincoln Event Centre.

In Brief

Lake quality improves

AT ITS FINEST: Environment Canterbury expects to see Lake Forsyths condition improve further in the coming weeks, so its health warning can be lifted.

THE DISTRICT council has taken a leaf out of the citys book by introducing the smart phone application, Snap Send Solve.

The city council was the first council in Canterbury to intro-duce it last year.

It lets people report a problem in the area with infrastructure, such as pot holes, pavements in disrepair and send it to the council.

The app uses the GPS location of the users phone to locate where the problem was reported and generates a service request to the district council.

It hoped the application will work in well in secluded areas.

Snap Send Solve is particu-larly useful in rural areas as its often difficult for people to provide a precise location when reporting an issue, said district council business relationship manager Stephen Hill.

The system reports the problem as soon as the user has uploaded it, and contractors are given the exact location when they go to fix the problem.

The cost of implementing the system was $1251. The annual

subscription for the council to run the service will cost $3465 after this year.

The app can also identify whether an issue should be di-rected to Environment Canter-bury or another local council, based on the location and type of report that is lodged.

Mr Hill says that people also need to include a short descrip-tion of the problem when they submit a photo so that the district council has enough information to respond to the report.

Since the application was introduced in April 55 issues have been reported to the district council using Snap Send Solve.

The district councils online form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/helpline can still be used to report an issue with or without submitting a photo.

Snap Send Solve app launched

GEORGE BUTTERICK, originally from Kaituna Valley took out the Canterbury round of a duck calling competition.

Mr Butterick now works at in the Rangitata as a shepherd on Willesden Farm, but the distance did not stop him from making the trip to the Springston Hotel to compete in the Canterbury section of the New Zealand Duck Calling Championships.

After a long day of shooting out on Lake Ellesmere, 11 of Canterburys best duck callers entertained 100 spectators as they competed in the duck call-ing.

The round was the fifth in a series of six competitions around the country held since April.

During the Kiwi competition, competitors have just one minute of calling to impress the judges with their impression of realistic live duck call.

The national winner will travel to America to compete in the World Duck-Calling Champion-ship, which is held during the Maryland Water Fowl Festival in November.

Event organiser Adam Rayner said it takes a certain amount of skill to making a realistic duck call.

Duck-calling is like playing any wind instrument, some people are okay at it and others become masters at it.

Mr Butterick will go on to compete at the national competi-tion held in Tauranga on July 9.

Duck calling success

WINNER: George Butterick won the competition and will now head to the nationals next month.

By Gabrielle StuartSTAR MEDIA chairman Nick Smith has been recognised in the Queens Birthday Honours for more than 50 years work in media and sport.

He was named an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit yesterday.

Star Media is the publisher of the Selwyn Times, several com-munity newspapers in Christch-urch, The Star and magazines. The company also broadcasts CTV.

Mr Smith started work at the Christchurch Star in 1965, as an advertising cadet.

It was the heyday of newspapers. You werent competing for eyeballs. I spent two and a half years there, and it was fantastic. I still have a lot of friends from those days, we had a lot of fun together. We used to have boxing tournaments in the lunchroom, he said.

He went on to become a direc-tor of Allied Press, publisher of the Otago Daily Times, and chairman of CTV.

Although he was a major shareholder, he said he stayed in the background at CTV for several years, leaving the running of the company to managing director Murray Wood.

But when Mr Wood was killed in the collapse of the building in the February 2011 earthquake, Mr Smith said he was suddenly thrust into management of the station.

He remembered the first meeting the day after the earth-quake, sitting in a dark room without power talking about the future with his distraught staff.

It would have made more sense to take the insurance money and close the station, but to me that would mean we let the staff and the victims families down. That to me was the decid-ing factor.

He has also played a key role in sport over the years, help-ing to develop Hagley Park, form the University Oval Redevelop-ment Trust and raise $2 million

to establish the first cricket ground in Dunedin.

He has also sponsored and donated to many community groups and organisations working in the South Island.

My philosophy has always been whats good for the province is whats good for the business, and whats good for the company is good for the province.

ENVIRONMENT Canterburys decision to back down on plans to increase bus fares by 10 per cent is good news for Selwyn residents, Deputy Mayor Sarah Walters says.

Fares for bus users will now rise just 2.5 per cent on average in July.

ECan reduced the increase after strong public opposition to the plans.

Deputy mayor Sarah Walters, who is the district councils representative on the Greater Christchurch Public Transport Joint Committee, said it was good to see that the increase would be lower than expected.

One of the messages that I hope ECan

have taken on board in relation to public transport is that the users are actually doing the whole transport network a good turn by using the bus, she said.

Increasing the costs of the users actu-ally is sending a contrary message to what the transport system as a whole needs.

Cr Walters said there were a number of issues that needed to be addressed to get bus usership for people travelling between Selwyn and Christchurch higher but not raising the fares too much would help.

ECans decision to raise the fares came in response to a funding shortfall linked to lower than expected bus patronage which created a funding shortfall of about $535,000.

About two-thirds of the 119 people who

submitted feedback on ECans draft An-nual Plan, commented on the proposal to increase bus fares by 10 per cent.

Commissioner David Bedford said the communitys response to the feedback had been taken on board in reducing the proposed increase.

The figure of 2.5 per cent is even lower than the 5 per cent rise we included in our Long-Term Plan last year but never introduced, Mr Bedford said.

The balance of the shortfall in opera-tional funding will come from targeted rates.

Detail on the timing and exact fares for bus users will be released in advance of the rises. The draft Annual Plan is to be approved on June 23.

Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee chairman Allen Lim discusses the achievement and also the challenge of legacy problems in water.

Welcome to this update on the important water quality improve-ments being undertaken by your zone committee.

First Id like to endorse the comments of committee member Pat McEvedy in his May Soap Box especially how challenging and rewarding it is to be involved.

The zone committee is support-ing and driving on-the-ground actions to deliver sustainable ben-efits from water.

In our first five years: $500,000 of funding was allocated to initiatives to protect and enhance the natural environment, with a further $250,000 from farm-ers and others. The Whakaora Te Waihora lake restoration programme has been in place since 2011. Stage 1 of the Central Plains Water irrigation scheme was completed in August 2015,

resulting in 15,000ha converted from groundwater to surface water irrigation and enabling aquifer recharge. As a result of Plan Change 1 to the Land & Water Regional Plan, tough new rules and nutrient leaching limits have been imposed on farmers to

manage water quality and quan-tity. Some 300 properties have de-veloped farm environment plans.

A key feature of the water plan is the cultural landscape values management area which recognises the significance of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere to Ngi Tahu in terms of mahinga kai, whi tapu and whi taonga.

I believe we have laid a solid foundation for improving water quality in this zone. However, due to legacy effects, we can expect things to get worse before they get better.

In the meantime, the zone committee is working on imple-menting plan change one.

There are many important local water management challenges still to be met.

These include: Encouraging all farmers to operate at better than good management practice over time. Replacing more of the groundwater with alpine water. Maintaining or improving biodi-versity in and around the zone.

These initiatives and others demand a collaborative effort co-ordinated by the zone committee and your zone team.

Please do not hesitate to contact us any time to discuss and con-tribute.

Tough rules with waterReaders respond to last weeks article about Lincoln High School starting a dog club.

Scott Fold, Lincoln: I think it is great that Lincoln High School has a dog club. Its won-derful to see something like this in the town. It is obviously en-couraging people to train their dogs more and teaching kids and parents how to react around dogs. I hope other schools in the area pick up on the trend.

Sarah Pilan, Lincoln: Ku-dos to Lincoln High School and Emily Tighe for starting the dog club and the school. What an amazing idea and well thought of. This is teaching the children that dog obedience skills are a top priority and also, as the story tells us, it is teaching them how to interact and be respon-sible for their dogs and around other dogs. It would be fantastic to see this program being used at other schools and I think the inter-school competitions could really take off. Once again well done Lincoln High and Emily Tighe. This reader responds to an article about Lincoln primary and high school getting more classrooms following the announcement from the Ministry of Education.

Jane Capim, Lincoln: I think it is really exciting news to see the students of Lincoln getting some more classrooms, reading in the paper they have had some issues with over crowding and having to send some students to separate sites. I cant imagine how stressful that must have been for the kids and parents and teachers. Im glad to see the Ministry of Education doing something for the stu-dents in Selwyn. Since it is a fast growing area and Rolleston Col-lege doesnt open till next year, there will just be more students. I hope these classrooms get built soon.

This reader responded to last weeks article about tree roots damaging pipes as a result of the earthquakes.

Patrick Leas, Darfield: As if we didnt have enough things to worry about post earthquake. Its been six years since the first earthquake hit and now we get told tree roots may ruining our pipes! It seems that we will never be able to fully move on from this with new problems crop-ping up all the time. Im glad I know it could be a problem but how much will this cost me to get fixed when it wasnt even my problem? What will be the next problem to crop up that will cost more money?

Your Local ViewsThis reader responds to an article about Southbridge firefighter Steve Maw.

Simon Bridges, West Mel-ton: What an interesting read last week in Our People. How inspiring the story was of this young man doing an incredible volunteering job as a firefighter and also full time.These men and women give up their own time to help other people in the com-munity and most of us take it all for granted. Sometimes we need to sit back and think about this and to read about these people brings it all to the foreground. I would like to say thank you to all the volunteer firemen and women who go that extra mile and never ask for anything but support.

By Emma-Jane McLennanMENTAL HEALTH issues in Christchurch have reached breaking point with numbers doubling in some cases since late last year.

Latest statistics show the Canterbury District Health Board deals with 17 new adult walk-ins every day adults who have never needed the help of mental health services before.

The figures come on the heels of an outcry over the amount of funding for mental health services available in Can-terbury.

Last years closure of New Zealands largest counselling service, Relationships Aotearoa, combined with post-quake mental health needs and dwindling funds at an average $222 per head of population in Canterbury, compared to the national average of $243.

The CDHB was facing service cuts. The Government responded to the outcry by announcing a $12 million mental health funding boost in last weeks Budget.

Post-quake stress, insurance woes, relationship issues and service cuts have combined and now people just cant deal with it anymore, Mental Health Advocacy and Peer Support manager Sue Ricketts said.

News

By Emma-Jane McLennanINTEGRITY IN school pupils thats the goal of a foundation working with the likes of Prime Minister John Key and the Crusaders to teach children morals and ideals.

Christchurch schoolchildren are responding extremely well to interviews from high-profile Kiwis explaining what integrity means to them, Graeme Dingle Foundation Canterbury regional manager Noeline Allan said.

Were actually getting a lot of uptake around the country, with others borrowing the idea and some even using our footage. Its just fantastic.

The foundation is working to implement Kiwi Can pro-grammes, which teach morals to school pupils aged five to 12. It works with pupils at South Hornby School, Gilberthorpe School, St Bernadettes School, St Annes Catholic School, Bromley School, Christchurch East School and Hornby High School.

It has term focuses each year resilience, integrity, positive relationships and respect. This term theyve mixed things up by creating video interviews of people children might look up

to, talking about what integrity means to them and how it has helped them achieve success.

They included Prime Minister John Key, who said: Integrity is absolutely crucial, in fact in some regards integrity is everything.

All Black and Crusader Joe Moody said: Its just about liv-ing by the standards I set myself and trying to carry that through in everything I do.

Wigram MP Megan Woods said: Integrity means that you

stick to your beliefs. Sometimes sticking up for what you believe in isnt the easy thing to do, but for me its about having the cour-age and being brave enough.

Others included Justin Biebers songwriter Jimmy Wong, Crusader Israel Dagg, Canterbury rugby coach Scott Robertson and former Miss Universe New Zealand Laural Barrett.

Year seven pupils at Hornby High School conducted some of

the interviews, and the founda-tion has been just amazed at the response from willing inter-viewees, Ms Allan said.

Believe it or not, this has all come together since the start of April. All of a sudden people started committing I even thought why not John Key, and to our surprise, a tape came back.

Teaching morals to children is very important, child psy-chologist Bryan Wright said.

Most of that begins with

learning empathy for others at a very young age. Thats what everyone wants their children to grow up with, and what pro-grammes like this look to build on.

He said on a whole New Zealand is doing pretty well at teaching children morals and values.

Materialism is one of my biggest worries, as material-ism undermines solid values. But I think our children are growing up in a different world than what you would years ago if you take a hard look its really not all doom and gloom.

Gilberthorpe School principal Andrew Wilkinson said the programme has been great at reinforcing the schools focus on values.

Having these young, vibrant people back up our messages is so helpful they can give practical examples and it really resonates with them.

He said most schools are doing their part in teaching children morals and values, its often the childrens families that might let them down.

Backing up those values at home leaves a lot to be desired. Kids are at school six hours a day, and home for 18. Its case-by-case of course, but

they need good role models at home.

The Kiwi Can integrity teachings are being rolled out across schools at the moment, with the videos tailored to the age groups viewing them, and used to prompt class discus-sion.

The programme was

dreamed up by a police officer in Porirua who recognised a need for values in schools, Ms Allan said.

Its been in Christchurch for four years now. Were helping our young people to be strong, have a good set of values and grow into awesome adults.

ARTISTS THROUGHOUT the area will get the chance to gain more tips and ideas through a free workshop.

The Selwyn District Council and Selwyn Arts Trust are presenting the workshop which is open to any kind of artist living or working in the area.

The workshop, The Working Artist Key Tools for Success, is intended to help visual artists, writers, sculptors, dance, craft and others have more success through marketing skills.

The workshop is designed both for artists who would like to turn a hobby into a career, and for artists

A variety of speakers from around Canterbury will talk about different topics, including how to approach galleries, how to reproduce works, running exhibitions, social media and website promotion and what arts funding is available and how to apply for it.

The event is being held on later this month at the Lincoln Event Centre.

Congratulations on receiving The Queens Service Medal for work in the community. It must be very exciting?

Yes it is. Im very humbled by the honour.

Was it a surprise?Yes it was.Must be nice to be recognised

for all your hard work?It is, it makes me feel very proud

of what Ive done and pleased that I have done it. But I havent done it on my own, there is also a great team of people involved in the community work.

Youve received several other awards, is that correct?

In 2002 I got an award at the Malvern Sporting Awards as the outstanding summer sports ad-ministrator for tennis, a Malvern Community Board community service award in 2003 and a Selwyn District Council community vol-unteer certificate in 2011. I was also

given a certificate of merit and long service award by the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society for my work for the Kirwee and Malvern Plunket Association in 1989.

How long have you lived in the community?

I was born and raised in Halkett, and when Terry and I were mar-ried I moved to Kirwee, so we have been for 45 years.

Being from a small town did you both go to the same school?

No, the closest high school was Darfield but there was no bus from Halkett, so I went Riccarton High School.

You must have seen some big changes within the community?

Yes I have. Seeing the com-munity grow is probably the main reason Ive stayed so involved. The sports clubs and township have grown. As a community we have done some great things, like getting the Kirwee community hall rebuilt and working with the Kirwee Tennis Club to get two more courts built. But these things happen because the whole com-munity works together.

Youve been on several boards and committees over the years, can you tell me a little about those?

There have been a few over the

years. Ive been involved in the Kirwee Model School Committee, Kirwee and Malvern Plunket As-sociation, Kirwee Hockey and Ten-nis clubs, Courtenay Agricultural and Pastoral Association, Kirwee Community Hall Committee, I have been the Chair of the Darfield High School Parent Teacher As-sociation from 1990 to 1992 and Im a member of the Kirwee Civil Defence Response Team and the Malvern Lions Club.

How many children do you have?

We have three children, two boys and one girl, well, theyre adults now. We have eight grandchildren as well.

You also joined the school boards when they started school?

Yes, I got involved with the Kir-wee School committee when the children started there and as they grew up and went to Darfield High School I was on the Parent Teacher Association there too. I was the chair from 1990-1992.

You were instrumental in setting up the Civil Defence Re-sponse team in Kirwee, can you tell me about that?

Getting the civil defence up and running was a big thing for me. The council had a civil defence evening and said the community

Kirwee resident honoured for yearsOur People Jenny Gallagher

Kirwees Jenny Gallagher has received a Queens 90th Birthday Honour for her work within the community. She talks to Caitlin Miles about following in her family footsteps, travelling from Halkett to Riccarton every day for school and her plans for the future.

should have a plan to look after themselves. I believed it was possible to do something like that here so after some discus-sions and some ground work the scheme got up and running with coordinators in each street. Their task was to check their street after a disaster.

Was this before the earth-quakes?

Yes it was, so when the Septem-ber earthquake hit, our coordina-tors were on the streets checking in with all the residents. When the council could see how well our plan had worked they de-cided to put the plan throughout the district. I felt very humbled to be involved in something that was helping the community in such a big way.

What makes you so passionate about helping your community?

My family have been involved in community projects for gener-ations, my father and grandfather worked for their communities too. Its probably the satisfaction I get from seeing communities making goals and helping them achieve them. I have been lucky to be involved with a community that is so passionate about their own success.

Has there been a certain ex-perience working with the com-

munity that sticks out to you?There have been many like that

but I think the one that sticks out the most was the morning of the September 2010 earthquake. It was really amazing and wonder-ful to see everyone rally together and support one another.

You played a key role in rais-ing money for the Kirwee Ten-nis Club, what was that like?

It was a great experience do-ing that. I was the treasurer and Secretary of the club for 21 years and while I was in that position the tennis club wanted to get more courts. It took a few years to get all the funds we needed but we did it and it was a lot of fun for the club. I have been very fortunate to be honoured with a life membership to the Kirwee Tennis Club.

You certainly have done a lot for the community.

I wouldnt do it if I didnt enjoy it. I also could not do it without the support of my husband Terry and my family. He has been a really great support and he has encouraged me to do this work.

You are also a Justice of the Peace?

Yes a member of the com-munity approached me several years ago and asked if I would be interested in doing it. So I

decided I would. It took about 18 months before I officially became one, that was in 2008.

You are very busy with the community, do you get a chance to relax?

Yes I do, I have a big garden and I find it really relaxing to get out in the garden. We like getting to spend time with our grand children too and weve done a bit

of travelling overseas.What has been your favourite

trip so far?Different places have stuck out

for different reasons. We went on a river cruise of Amsterdam and Budapest which was amaz-ing, I really loved that. We also travelled around India which was very unique. I also went to Yubestu in Japan. I went with the

high school and I represented the Malvern Community Board because we have a sister city rela-tionship with Yubestu.

Will you continue to work within the community?

Getting this Queens service medal wont change that because of the enjoyment I get from working with in the community and seeing the results we achieve.

TRAVEL: Jenny and hes husband Terry took a trip to India, paying a visit to the Taj Mahal along the way.

Time running out to book for beer festival

With only a few weeks to go, time is running out to secure tickets for the annual A Mid-Winters Ale Festival being held later this month in Rolleston, when the best of Canterburys craft beers will again be celebrated.Last years inaugural event was a complete sell-out with festival-goers being turned away on the day due to limited door sales. This year more tickets have been made available, but it is envisaged the event will again sell out. Tickets can be purchased through the website www.canterburybeerfestival.co.nz.An opportunity to enjoy locally brewed beer at its finest, the event is bringing together the cream of Canterburys craft breweries as well as some future stars of craft brewing. As a celebration of the growing craft beer industry, it allows festival-goers to try new beers brewed on their doorsteps.Over 50 different beers will be available this year, plus ciders, with new-release local beers served fresh direct from the brewery. Among the breweries represented will be Eagle Brewing NZ, Wigram Brewing, Vulcan Brewers, Fiasco Brewing, The Nuts Brewing, Concept Brewing, Emporium Brewing, Yellow Box Brewery and the Brewers Union. International breweries will also be showcased with beers from the United States, England, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Japan.Another exciting aspect of the festival will be the first-ever wearable beer art fashion show, FASHIONALE, for which designers are to produce a wearable design made from recyclable materials related to beer. Of course, no festival is complete without live music to add to the atmosphere, and this will be provided by local bands Assembly Required, The Fishermen and Picking Up the Remnants. Plus, the popular Japanese Drummers will be giving their best performance for the show.A Mid-Winters Ale Festival 2016 Rolleston Community Centre June 25, 2016 11.30am - 7pm Tickets are available at www.canterburybeerfestival.co.nz.

June marks the official start of winter which brings more challenging driving conditions including rain, fog, ice, and often snow. Daylight hours are also shorter, and visibility is often poor during the morning and evening rush hours when many people are on the roads.

While the weather has been quite mild for much of May - June, July and August traditionally bring colder weather with frosts often occurring in the morning and snow fall can also occur in Selwyn. During winter, people need to allow extra time for journeys to defrost the car before starting and travel more slowly on wet or icy roads, says Selwyn Road Safety Coordinator Ngaire Tinning.

If visibility is poor in the morning or evening or due to gloomy conditions or fog, putting your lights on will make your vehicle more visible to others and will make your journey much safer.

If you travel in the morning or evening in frosty conditions, reduce your speed on frosty mornings as ice is likely to be present. Ice can also be a problem during the day on patches of road shaded by trees or fences, so look out for this and reduce your speed before entering these areas.

Check out our driving tips to help make your journey safer in winter:

Driving in the wetStopping distances nearly double on wet roads. You need to: slow down and keep a generous distance from the car in front of you the two-second rule should be a four second rule be extra vigilant take corners slowly. Watch out for road signs warning of flooding and allow more time to stop in wet conditions.

Driving in snow and iceGo slow on ice and snow: whenever possible, avoid driving in heavy snow and ice if you cannot avoid driving on snow or ice, then slow down, allow for much greater braking distances and avoid braking suddenly.

if youre driving on a winding road, keep left and drive slowly, as you could quickly lose control watch out for ice in shaded areas, particularly if has been wet. After snow melts, there is likely to be ice, especially in shaded places and bridges

you should also carry chains, know how to fit them and use them when necessary

Driving in fogTurn on your headlights, not just your park lights. You should also: reduce your speed as visibility is poor and keep a large following distance keep your headlamps on low (dip) beam, as high beam will reflect off fog and produce glare

Only use fog lamps when visibility is severely reduced (for example in snow or fog). It is illegal to use fog lamps in clear conditions as they can dazzle other drivers.

Driving with sun strikeSunstrike generally occurs early morning and late afternoon. Familiarise yourself with the areas where it happens and take more care at these locations. Always keep your windscreen clean, inside and out, and reduce your speed.

Free windscreen cloths and ice scrapers are now available at Council library/service centres.

Matariki events at Selwyn LibrariesSelwyn Libraries have a range of activities planned to celebrate Matariki the Maori new year. For more information and to register to attend a library event visit www.selwynlibraries.co.nz.

Rail Crossing Closure - Hoskyns Road

Part of the rail crossing on Hoskyns Road, next to State Highway 1 at Rolleston, will be closed on Friday 10 June from 9am-3pm. The closure has been requested by KiwiRail to allow them to complete urgent maintenance work on the crossing.

During the closure period vehicles will still be able to travel from Rolleston township and State Highway 1 towards Izone and Hoskyns Road, but the crossing will be closed to traffic coming in the other direction. A detour will operate via Jones and Weedons Ross Roads while the closure is in place. To manage traffic at the State Highway 1-Weedons Ross Road intersection, manual traffic controls using stop and go signals will be in place if necessary. KiwiRail thanks motorists for their patience while this essential maintenance is carried out.

Warm up with a coffee at Selwyn LibrariesNew coffee machines are now operating at Darfield, Leeston and Rolleston Libraries. You can choose from a flat white, black coffee, espresso, cappuccino, mochaccino or hot chocolate from the machines for only $2.

Local libraries are a great place to keep warm with a good book over winter. They also have newspapers for reading, free Wi-Fi and computer access as well as regular storytime and rhymetime sessions for pre-schoolers and a range of other library events.

Celebrate Ma-ori New Year in Selwyn

School embraces road safety Clearview School recently held a Road Safety Week. During the week the children had the opportunity to see inside two large trucks from Heavy Trucks, look at the view truck drivers have of the road and learn about safety around trucks. The event was organised by the New Zealand Trucking Association and the Council. The day was the launch of the Trucking Associations education programme which they plan to roll out to more schools in the future.

The Council also delivered an off road cycle training session, and the school ran a number of road safety activities for children including a mufti day where children dressed in bright clothing.

Clearview School is one of a number of Selwyn schools which has a School Travel Plan. The school developed the plan with support from the Council. It aims to ensure children get safety to and from school, and supports children to walk, scoot and cycle if they choose to.
