Mayor Coe said the new building reflected a new phase of how the district is recuperating from the earthquake damage.
“There was the response phase immediately following the earthquake and most of the years since have been about recovery but this building is a symbol of a ‘betterment’ phase.
“While we would have preferred not to have gone through the earthquake, and there is still work to be done, we are now seeing community facilities like this one return in a better state than before the quake.”

The highlight of New Zealand's racing, fashion and agricultural calendar takes centre stage in Christchurch between November 7 and 14.
Christchurch City Council’s acting community arts and events manager Richard Attwood says each year the programme gets bigger and better.
"The festival is about celebrating the thrill of a win, enjoying a day out with friends, experiencing rural life at the Canterbury A&P Show, dressing to the nines, tasting our region’s excellent food and wine, and simply coming together as a community to have some fun."
Cup and Show Week The countdown to the country’s most vibrant spring festival has begun, with tickets to New Zealand Cup and Show Week going on sale.
The Feelers will be one of the headline acts during Cup and Show Week.
This year’s event runs from September 14 to 20 and KNB general manager Heather Saunderson said last year nearly 40,000 volunteers took part in 562 events nationwide and is keen to see people from Selwyn involved.
“Whether you are a community group, business, school, family, friends or an individual, it is so easy to get involved.
“All you need to do is gather your group, find a local spot that needs a clean-up, then log on and register your event.
“Once you fill in the registration form we will provide you with all the

information you need to help make a difference this Clean-Up Week.”
Ms Saunderson said Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week is not just about the clean-ups. “
“These events build and strengthen community spirit and allow people to demonstrate their pride in where they live.
“The central aim is to increase community participation of all kinds, but also addresses issues of sustainability, environment, health, crime and social inclusion.”

The Sothys New Zealand 2000 Guineas Day at Riccarton Park Racecourse marks the official start of the week.
Performing live during the festival are two legendary New Zealand bands, Salmonella Dub and The Feelers at various venues.
A new event this year is Le Noir. Described as the ultimate circus extravaganza, it is a unique theatrical experience featuring more than 20 of the greatest acrobatic and specialty acts on earth, including the heart-stopping Colombian Wheel of Death.

The recommendation is part of the Selwyn District Council’s representation review which looks at the electoral make-up of the district including whether to have community boards and the number of wards and councillors.
The council's proposal, which is now out for public consultation, keeps the existing four wards and 11 councillors, and retains the Malvern Community Board but scraps the Selwyn Central Community Board (SCCB).
The Representation Review looked at possible changes to the number of wards, ward boundaries, the number of councillors, whether councillors should be elected across the whole district or within wards, and whether there should be community boards.
Lynley Shaw, who has just stepped down as chair of the Rolleston Residents
Backing for community board’s disbandingby Kent Caddick
The outgoing chair of the Rolleston Residents Association Lynley Shaw is backing plans for the closing down of the Selwyn Central Community Board.
Association, said she fails to see the benefits of the community board.
“I am personally struggling with seeing any benefit that the current structure brings to our organisation and I support the disbanding of the board.
“This is not a reflection on the people themselves, as they are good community minded people doing their best, but is a comment on the value of a community board.”
Councils are required to review representation arrangements at least once every six years and Selwyn last undertook a review in 2009.
As well as disbanding the Selwyn Central community Board and retaining the Malvern Community Board the review has recommended retaining the current four wards and 11 councillors, none of whom currently live in Rolleston itself.
In the proposal out for consultation, some of the Burnham area and Burnham Military Camp move from the Selwyn Central ward to the Ellesmere ward, but other ward boundaries remain largely the same. It is proposed that the Selwyn Central ward is renamed Central.
Selwyn Mayor Kelvin Coe says it is important for the district to have representation which represents local views and enables the Council to function effectively.
"We think the proposed structure does both of these things but we would welcome submissions from the public sharing their views on the proposal."
The representation arrangements adopted as a result of the current review would apply from the 2016 local elections.
Outgoing Rolleston Residents Association chair Lynley Shaw is backing a recommendation to disband the Selwyn Central Community Board.
Late last year St John acquired the lease to a council owned site on the corner of Norman Kirk Drive and Kidman Street and agreed to purchase an existing building on the land.
Stage one of Project Rolleston, which is set to cost St John $630,000, will see the building renovated and a three bay garage will be built on the site to replace St John’s current Rolleston operational base in the Izone industrial area for which the lease runs out this month.
“We have now raised just over $320,000, roughly half way to our target,” St John Selwyn Central area chair John Sunckell said.
Major donations toward the project have come from the Canterbury Community Trust ($50,000), the Mayoral Earthquake Relief Fund ($20,000) and

St John Selwyn Central has reached the halfway mark in raising the funds needed for stage one of the development of its new base in Rolleston.
the Selwyn Central Community Board ($5000).
Mr Sunckell said progress is being made on the development of the site.
“We now have our consent for the garage build and after discussions with our supplier have a completion date of October 30.”
Plans for the renovation of the house already on site have also progressed; with a land use application changing the site from residential has been approved.
“Our architect is drawing plans for the reconfiguration of the house into staff quarters and community meeting rooms while the granny flat annex has been painted and tidied allowing staff to be accommodated from the beginning of October.”
Mr Sunckell said support for the project is growing with the youth team
led by Wendy Batt lifting our profile with sausage sizzles in the community, while donation boxes have been placed in a number of Rolleston businesses.
“Generation Homes has come on board to project manage the house reconfiguration and coordinate offers of

support, while McLenaghan Contracting and Kiwiflora Nurseries have offered site works and landscaping.”
Stage two involves the construction of a community based training facility on the site at a projected cost of just over $400,000.

Hororata Community Trust looks backFive years on from the devastating 7.1 Darfield earthquake, which revealed the Greendale Fault, the Hororata Community trust looks back on what has been achieved and its direction for the future.
by Richard Lang, Hororata Community Trust chairman
Richard Lang 01
St Johns 01 & St Johns 02
The Hororata Community Trust was formed as a charitable trust in 2011 with the purpose to rebuild and promote the community following the 2010 earthquakes after the community recognised the need for leadership in very uncertain times.
The Trust formed with the vision to provide the resources to promote, foster and develop Hororata and its wider community. I believe we are fulfilling this vision but in a different way to what we originally thought.
While the Trust was formed to help the community rebuild following the earthquakes, the organisation has evolved to meet the changing needs of the community.
The Trust has taken on an ‘umbrella’ role in the community supporting volunteer groups to achieve their objectives; by providing resource, guidance on strategy, promotion and structure.
There are still a number of community buildings which were damaged in the earthquakes that the community wish to see rebuilt and there is a level of frustration in the community surrounding the politics
that are delaying these projects moving forward.
The Hororata Community Trust is currently working with the Hororata Parish vestry and the Anglican Church Property Trust to broker a way forward to repair the St John’s Stone church.
Progress has been slow surrounding the St John’s Church rebuild however the important fact to focus on right now is that discussions are happening and all parties want to see the church restored. It is not visible progress but it is progress.
In the meantime the Hororata Community Trust has looked for other ways of supporting the community. Undoubtable the Hororata Highland Games is a highlight of what the Trust has achieved in the past five years. The Hororata Highland Games is truly one of the best recovery stories to come out of the September 2010 earthquakes helping to not only raise funds, but also bring a community together and provide a platform for community groups to hold their own fundraising activities.
The Hororata Community Trust has also invested in signage around the
district, donated to the three local primary schools for swimming pool upgrade, donated daffodil bulbs to local schools to engage children in beautifying their townships and a district website which provides an online presence for community groups and businesses.
The Trust is about to launch a heritage project which it has been working on with a community group for the last six months. The first stage of the project will see a visitors guide to the Heritage of Hororata and beyond brochure published.
Five years on it feels as if Hororata and the wider district has a great positive feel, people are motivated to
see the community move forward and remain ‘on the map’. The Hororata Community Trust is proud to be working with the community and helping achieve its goals.

Senior student Abbey Barron and junior student Stella Futter have taken out the school’s speech cups following the competition finals recently.
Stella Futter, a Year 6 student with her speech ‘Save our Honey Bees’ was awarded the Yvonne and Robert Overton Middle School Speech Cup. Her speech asked people to think twice about using pesticide in their gardens and what and what can be done to attract bees into the garden.

encouraged them to be courageous enough to take a risk towards fulfilling their dreams.
Abbey was also selected to represent West Melton School at the Ellesmere Speech Competition at Tai Tapu School.
Teacher aide Rita Spadoni said the theme for this year’s Moa team speech competition was either 'All people can make a difference' or 'People's actions impact the future'.
“Each speech had to be brainstormed and written at school. As the weeks went by there were plenty of students seen practising their speeches on their peers or even the bathroom mirror.”
Abbey Barron was the winner of West Melton School’s Moa team senior speech competition.
Stella Futter speech on ‘Save our honey bees’ won her the junior speech prize.

The community gathered at the Greendale Domain on Friday afternoon to mark the day five years ago when their lives were changed forever.
One of the organisers of the Greendale Shake-up event, the Reverend Stephanie Wells, said the time following

the earthquake was one when the community really came together.
“It is now called the Greendale Fault and we take ownership of that, it is all our fault,” she told the gathering.
The children of Greendale School entertained the crowd singing a couple of songs specially written for the occasion.
Three old upright pianos were demolished as a symbol of the earthquake’s destruction, an event which was the highlight of the day for many of the children, and not a few of the older residents who gathered for the Greendale Shake-up.
Following the piano demolition a toast
was made with a special Greendale milkshake which symbolised the state of many of the district’s kitchens following the September quake when pantries and refrigerators were emptied by the force of the 7.1 shake.
The $2.4 million complex is being built on land adjacent to Leeston Park which is within 500m of the main street of Leeston.
Abbeyfield Ellesmere chairman Bruce Cochrane said residents in the Ellesmere area have been lobbying for this since 2008.
“They wanted to ensure older people are not forced to leave their home due to the lack of a viable alternative choice in the area where they have always lived.”
Mr Cochrane said the project would provide 14 independent studio units under one roof for people who need a supported living environment without the need to go into a rest home.
The new project will provide basic day-

to-day support with meals provided and communal social support built-in, such as a live-in housekeeper, and residents will be charged an affordable rent.
Site work and building is due to begin within the next six weeks and the complex is expected to be open early next year.
Mr Cochrane said funding for the project is being administered by the Vintage Village Trust
“Money raised by the Jaycees was made available for getting the project started, with additional funding coming from the Canterbury Community Trust, the social housing unit of the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment, local fundraising, with assistance from
the Selwyn District Council.”He said the Abbeyfield Ellesmere
project is modeled on a British concept of providing housing for residents within 1km of a town centre to optimise continued social contact.

Dr Catherine Elliot, a lecturer in the Tourism, Sport and Society Department, is keen to trial a project which would make bikes available for hire on the university’s campus.
A similar project was recently launched in Christchurch’s CBD in an effort to make the city more cycle-friendly.
Dr Elliot said she is keen to initiate a rural version of the Bike Share throughout the Selwyn district.
“Students and staff, as well as local residents, could use the bikes to travel on and off campus,” she said.
“Many folks commute to Lincoln in a car or take the bus, so having bikes on campus is a great way of encouraging people to cycle for short and medium distances.
“The bikes would be available to the wider community too, so families could enjoy weekend rides on the Little River Rail Trail.”
Dr Elliot said bicycle-friendly cities in Europe tend to thrive, with people earning higher incomes and having better rates of physical and mental health.
She would like to help create the

same opportunities here, given the increased rate of depression amongst Cantabrians since the earthquakes.
Dr Elliot is in the process of seeking funding for the project, which she suggests could be a shared scheme between the university as a whole, the Tourism, Sport and Society Department, and the campus Live Well group, which promotes better health and well-being for students and staff.
She also wants to use some of the bicycles from the programme to carry out a controlled study, whereby she recruits 10 sedentary Lincoln University staff members to cycle to work three times a week for two months.
“People who commute by bike report higher energy levels than non-cyclists, so I’d be interested to see if a bike-to-work scheme leads to increases in physical activity overall.
“We’d have portable bike racks set up in Prebbleton, and relocate 10 of the bikes there.”
The participants would fill out health and fitness questionnaires, both before and after the two-month cycling period,

and receive clinical results from blood and cardiovascular tests.
“I would then compare the responses to determine if regular cycling could lead to the participants becoming more active in general and to find out
if their physical and mental health had improved,” Dr Elliott said.
The participants would begin their morning cycle at Springs and Birchs Roads, for a 30 to 40 minute ride to the university.
The new Rolleston to Lincoln cycleway was completed in late August and provides a 9km off road link between Selwyn’s two largest townships.
Mayor Coe said the council was pleased to receive $300,000 in funding for the cycleway from the government’s new Urban Cycleways Fund.
“This funding was supported by $400,000 from the New Zealand
Selwyn’s newest cycleway officially opened Selwyn’s latest cycleway was officially opened last week with Transport Minister Simon Bridges joining Selwyn Mayor Kelvin to do the honours.
Transport Agency (NZTA) and $300,000 from the council.
“Currently a number of school children commute to Lincoln from Rolleston to attend Lincoln High School, and many people also travel between the towns for work, education or leisure.
“The cycleway completes the council’s plan to provide a range of safe transport options to link these townships together.
“The cycleway development follows a roading upgrade of Springston Rolleston Road and the provision of Metro bus services by Environment Canterbury.”
The new cycleway runs along Lowes Road, Lincoln Rolleston Road and Boundary Road. From Lincoln, cyclists
can connect to the existing Railtrail path which runs from Lincoln to Christchurch and Little River.
Transport Minister Simon Bridges said the Rolleston to Lincoln cycleway is one of the first cycleways to be opened in the South Island through the Urban Cycleways Programme.
"There is a strong commitment in Canterbury to generating a significant modal shift to cycling and these connections will ultimately form part

of the wider Canterbury network for pedestrians and cyclists," Mr Bridges said.
Mayor Coe said the council is planning to develop more cycleways within the next few years.
These include the Glentunnel to Coalgate cycleway (2015-16); Leeston to Doyleston (2016-17) and Rolleston to Templeton (2018-19) which will coincide with the extension of the Southern Motorway).

Netball premiership finalists foundby Kent Caddick
Lincoln and Rolleston will contest the Selwyn netball premiership final following the weekend’s semi-final action.
Lincoln clicked into gear and nothing Halswell could do was able to knock the Lincoln juggernaut off its tracks.
The other semi-final was a closer affair but Rolleston deservedly beat Broadfield 54-45 to book its place in
this weekend’s final.Rolleston has been the team most
likely to knock Lincoln off its perch and a narrow one point loss to Lincoln two weeks ago was testament to the talent in the young side.
However, Lincoln is also full of talent, and also some mature heads who will be able to keep the side on track should things get tight in the final.
The final will get underway at the Lincoln Events Centre at 10.30am.

Top effortWhile they didn’t come home with any medals the West Melton Primary School’s hockey and football teams put in some top performances at the recent Canterbury Primary Schools Winter Tournament.
The tournament, played at various venues around Christchurch, involved 84 schools and 1950 children. West Melton’s Year 5&6 hockey and football teams qualified for the tournament and while they failed to get a top three placing all the children had a fantastic time.

Representation Review – Initial Proposal for consultation
The Council is proposing new representation arrangements for local elections – and we’re seeking your views on the changes.Selwyn District Council is conducting a representation review, which will determine the way the Council is elected and structured from the next local elections in 2016.
In July, the Council asked for community feedback on options for future representation. It has considered this feedback and adopted the initial proposal below for consultation.
Current representation arrangementsAt present, the Council is made up of the mayor, who is elected at large by all electors, and 11 councillors, who are elected across the four existing wards: Ellesmere (2), Malvern (2), Selwyn Central (4), and Springs (3). There are currently community boards in Selwyn Central and Malvern wards.
Changes since 2009Selwyn’s population has been growing rapidly in recent years. However, growth has not occurred evenly across the district. It is anticipated that strong growth in the eastern part of the district will continue, while growth in the western parts will be at much lower levels. These trends mean that existing ward boundaries no longer provide effective representation, and communities of interest will continue to change.
Preliminary consultationCommunity feedback was sought during consultation in July 2015 on four options for ward boundaries and councillor numbers: 1. Four wards with 11 elected representatives 2. Three wards with 9 elected representatives3. Three wards with 10 elected representatives 4. District-wide elections – 10 elected representatives elected across the entire district
The Council also proposed that no community boards would be retained.
A total of 225 submissions were received, and the key points from this preliminary public feedback included:• 60% of respondents favoured Option 1, with the next highest level of support being 19% for Option 3 • There was significant support for retention of the Malvern Community Board.
INITIAL PROPOSAL FOR CONSULTATION
On 26 August 2015 the Council resolved that the following initial proposal apply for the council and its community boards for the elections to be held on 8 October 2016.
Ward boundaries and council representationThe Council proposes:
• That the Council comprise of eleven elected members from four wards, and the Mayor elected at large;• That the Council retain the existing ward names, comprising of Ellesmere, Springs and Malvern; and amends the ward name Selwyn Central to Central;• That the proposed boundaries of the four wards be as shown on Map 1 (right);• That the population each ward will represent is as follows:
Ward Population No of Councillors Population per Councillor
Ellesmere 9,100 2 4,550
Malvern 8,460 2 4,230

Note: Under this proposal, the existing ward structure is largely retained, with the major change being Burnham Military Camp moving from the current Selwyn Central Ward to Ellesmere Ward; this has been discussed with Burnham Military Camp during preliminary consultation.
Community board representationThe Council proposes: • That there be a community board representing the Malvern ward• That the name of this Board be the Malvern Community Board• That the Malvern Community Board comprises of five elected members• That the Malvern Community Board have two subdivisions, namely the Hawkins and Tawera Subdivisions with the boundaries as shown in Map 2 (right).

Note: Under this proposal, a community board is not retained in the Central Ward. In Malvern, Hororata moves from the Hawkins to the Tawera subdivision.
Other mattersVoting Process: Legislation provides the option of elections being held on either First Past the Post (FPP) or Single Transferable Vote (STV) processes. It is proposed that elections continue to be held on a FPP basis.
Maori Ward: Council does not currently hold elections for a Maori Ward. It is proposed that no Maori Ward be established for the Selwyn District.
Will these changes affect my rates?The proposed change to the ward boundaries will not have any impact on rates. Remuneration of councillors is based on a fixed pool of funds, which is spread across all councillors. Community boards are funded by a targeted rate within the respective ward. Under this proposal, a targeted rate for the Malvern Community Board would be retained in the Malvern Ward. As there would be no community board in the Central ward, the existing Selwyn Central targeted community board rate would cease from 30 June 2016.

The Feed Tactics field days will focus on helping farmers get the best returns from all feeds used on farm.
The nationwide events follow on from one-on-one feed review visits which provided more than 750 farms with an assessment of feed allocation and grazing management in early spring.
DairyNZ’s Sean McCarthy says about one third of the farms visited were ‘spot on’ with their feed management, with the majority just needing slight refinements.
“Most farmers just needed to make a few tweaks to their pasture management to ensure pasture growth and quality were maximised,” Mr McCarthy says.
“For many of these farmers feed allowance was an issue.
They were overestimating the amount of feed a cow can eat in early lactation and therefore leaving slightly higher than target residuals and grazing too much area per day.”
Mr McCarthy says this is just one example where changes in feed management can really pay off down the track.
“Profitable farmers, no matter what system they run, have a ‘pasture first’ mentality. They measure and work to optimise the cheapest feed source – home grown pasture – and then incorporate supplements where a clear economic response is achieved.
“At a $3.65 milk price the difference between poor feed management, where little assessment of indicators such as grazing residuals are made, and optimal feed management, where pasture decisions are based on accurate feed allocation, can be worth hundreds of dollars per hectare.
“Even a few tweaks to daily management can make a difference. The field day events will help dairy

Tips and information to help manage the ups and downs of fluctuating milk price will be provided at a series of DairyNZ events in September and October.
farmers identify areas where they can make these ‘tweaks’ and also get their staff on board.”
The field days will focus on grazing management skills, effective use of supplements and developing an efficient feed management process for the farm team.
DairyNZ experts from research and development will provide in-paddock demonstrations and practical tips for allocating pasture.
Milk response to supplement and decision rules around supplement
use to ensure the best return will also be covered.
“For all farmers the ability to add in or take out the correct supplements
as pasture supply, milk price and climate dictate, is important to help keep costs under control,” Mr McCarthy says.

New Zealanders are blissfully unaware of the relative advantage New Zealand has with plentiful rivers, lakes and groundwater supply across the country.
Many other countries would love to have such abundant, comparatively clean and geographically dispersed water sources.
On top of this we have ample rainfall. Worldwide rainfall (precipitation) averages 800mm per year. But New Zealand experiences 2.5 times that amount with average rainfall of 2000mm per year. By other nation’s accounts, we are water rich.
Additionally, New Zealand’s water concerns are less complex than those faced in other continents.
Yes, we have pressing issues around nutrient management and allocation of water, but from a global perspective our water challenges are manageable and we are already working on the solutions.
New Zealand in unique position for water developmentby Andrew Curtis, IrrigationNZ CEO
New Zealand has many advantages over the rest of the world when it comes to ‘water development’ but we need to get better at leveraging water use – for our future well-being and to protect us from the effects of climate change.
Yes, we have regular drought and climate change breathing down our neck, but if we step back and look at what others are dealing with in terms of developing water, we should realise how lucky we are.
From IrrigationNZ’s perspective, water development in New Zealand will only come about if we have sustainable investment and support for water storage infrastructure, hand in hand with SMART Irrigation practices, products and technologies.
We need to improve our water productivity; that is what we create from the water we tap into. Irrigated farmland generates three times as much production as dryland systems so it’s a win-win for the community and farmers if we can convert a majority of farmers to SMART Irrigation.
The way forward will be about storing water on a regional basis to
increase water security for users, alongside improved irrigation practice in the paddock.
IrrigationNZ launched the SMART Irrigation programme last year and our focus now is mainstreaming this approach.
This year’s World Water Week theme of ‘Water for Development’ is an opportunity to reflect on what we’ve already achieved and how much further we could go with additional improvements in SMART Irrigation practice, technology and systems. Andrew Curtis , IrrigationNZ CEO

DairyNZ developer, Maitland Manning says strategic grazing and careful management of wet areas such as gullies and swales in winter forage crops can reduce losses of sediment and phosphorus (P) to surface runoff by 80-90 percent.
“Gullies and swales are where overland flow and seepage converge to form small channels of running water, which may then flow to streams and rivers.
By minimising stock movements and soil treading damage in these areas, any rainfall and runoff that occurs is more likely to infiltrate the soil, reducing the amount of runoff and loss of sediment and P,” Mr Maitland says.
“Simple changes in grazing management of winter crops can result in huge benefits for farmers as well as the environment.”
Strategic grazing means letting cows graze the drier parts of the paddock first and the wetter parts last. This usually means cows start at the top of the catchment and graze their way downhill towards the gully or swale. The uneaten crop acts as a buffer to minimise the runoff risk.
“If it needs to be grazed at all, the break nearest the gully or swale should be grazed at a time when the soil moisture content is not too high,” Mr Maitland says.
“Back fencing as much as possible will minimise soil pugging and compaction damage, and will also help to reduce volumes of surface runoff.”
Southland farmer Geoff Baldwin says he has noticed an improvement in sediment runoff since he has made changes to the way he winters his stock on swedes and kale at his Riverton property.
“Wintering can be a mission here with wet soil, so anything we can do to mitigate sediment losses is beneficial,”
Reducing nutrient losses from winter-grazed cropsArticle supplied by DairyNZ
Recent results from AgResearch trials undertaken in South Otago as part of the Pastoral 21 project have shown that grazed winter forage crops contribute significantly to the risk of nutrient losses to water but that with careful management, sediment and phosphorus losses can be reduced during grazing.
Mr Baldwin says.“We have identified and fenced
off swales and we leave a three to four metre boundary along the fence line which is kept in grass and not ploughed.
“Sediment is washed into the swales and settles in the grass, so sediment from the crop is reduced. We always graze the crop in front of the cows so the swale is the last place the cows get to.”
Management tips to reduce surface runoff
• Work out a grazing strategy before putting up fences. Think about stock water sources, i.e. do you need portable troughs?
• Use a winter crop calculator to work out feed requirements to achieve body condition score (BCS) targets at calving.
• Ensure cows begin grazing the least risky parts of the paddock first to minimise the period of runoff risk. This usually means that cows should enter at the top of the paddock and graze their way downhill.
• On-off graze any crop left in the gully or swale at a time when soil moisture content is not too high.
• Fence off gullies or swales to provide as much of a buffer zone as possible.

Call Cath King to make an appointment
Yet achieving a healthy weight can be elusive for many of us. Obviously most people who try to lose weight are making mistakes of one kind or another.
But there is one huge mistake that nearly everyone makes when trying to lose weight. That mistake is relying on willpower.
Typically, when people start a new diet they learn which foods to eat and which foods to avoid, and then they just assume that their willpower will be there to keep them on track when they grab their plate and start heading down the buffet line.
But willpower is not a loyal friend when it comes to weight loss or healthy eating. Willpower is a unitary power source inside us, like a battery. Scientists estimate that we have about 15 minutes of willpower at our disposal. And like a battery, willpower gets depleted when we use it.
Overcoming the reliance on willpowerby Cath King, nutritionist and holistic health consultant
Nowhere is the connection between looking good and feeling good as easily seen as when considering our weight. The problem is that so many things
deplete our willpower – resisting temptations, persisting on tasks, monitoring our performance, making decisions and regulating our thoughts or emotional responses. And most of us are doing these kinds of things all day long. So there’s no way to ensure that our willpower will be fully charged when we need it most.
There is yet another scourge that short-circuits our willpower even faster than any of the items listed above, and it explains why willpower is especially unreliable when it comes to food.
Our willpower doesn’t perform properly when our blood sugar is low. This is because the part of our brain responsible for willpower absolutely requires blood sugar for fuel.
So when our blood sugar has dropped and we need to get something to eat, the very physiology of our state at that
Cath King is a nutritionist and holistic health consultant at Seeking Health who specialises in weight management, diabetes and heart disease. You can contact her at www.ckinghealth.co.nz
moment makes it all the more unlikely that we will make a wise choice.
Both of these factors – our willpower battery being used up and the necessity for fuel creates something called ‘The Willpower Gap’.Bridging the Willpower Gap
This first strategy is to draw very clear, unambiguous lines in the sand around food.
Most people’s lines are fuzzy, allowing exceptions for this or that. But when you make a decision ahead of time about what you will and will not eat, it reduces the need to make decisions around food in the moment.
This strategy is backed up by three powerful tools – planning, preparation and habit – planning ahead what you will eat the next day or that week, making sure you’re prepared with all the right foods, lunch prepared the night before or anything else you need to have
organised to eat the right foods, and then creating habits by attaching your new food behaviours to existing food rituals – meals.
These strategies and tools lift the burden of willpower and allow you to consistently make good choices around food to better manage your weight.

Preparing your garden in spring Article supplied by www.gogardening.co.nz
With plants waking up and beginning to grow, spring is time for action on all fronts.
Preparation It's still a little early for planting
in the coldest areas, but time to don the gumboots and prepare garden areas by digging over and fortifying with compost plus blood and bone. In mild frost free areas, planting can begin with gay abandon.
If heavy rain has left soil sodden, allow it to drain before working over otherwise you risk damaging soil structure.
Feed and mulch Active plant growth takes loads of
energy, which calls for plenty of food to fuel it.
Applying blood and bone over the entire garden provides a good basis to nurture plants for the long hot summer ahead. Follow up with controlled release fertiliser.
Mulch soil to aid moisture retention over summer. Regular liquid feeding further reinforces a fertilising programme to ensure plants remain actively growing and more resistant to pests and disease.
PruneWhile gardening is great exercise
to help keep us in shape, pruning is important to keep plants in shape.
Most deciduous plants will have been pruned over winter. Those that require spring pruning immediately after flowering include deciduous plants which flower on bare wood (forsythia), plus winter or early spring flowering evergreens (camellias etc).
Other evergreens including citrus, topiary and hedges can be also be trimmed now. Most evergreens will tolerate a hard 'renovation' prune in spring, but check individual varieties first.
Sowing seedsAll summer veges and flowers can
be sown now for planting out around Labour Weekend, or after all danger of frost has passed.
Sow tender varieties under cover, hardy varieties direct into garden beds. Lawns can also be renovated or new lawns laid.
FlowersAs we enjoy the rewards of daffodil
and tulip bulbs planted in autumn, it’s time to plant gadioli corms and dahlia tubers to flower in summer and into next autumn.
Start planting gladioli in batches for successive flowering. Divide and replant dahlia tubers, or treat yourself to some.
Dressing the decksWith summer on its way, it's time to
pay attention to that much lived-in space that links house and garden. This can be as simple as sprucing up the plant life.
For pots, keeping things simple is a well-proven recipe for success, and one that may also save you time and money. Colourful annuals for spring pots include - pansies, polyanthus, lobelia, alyssum, cinerarias, and violas, or opt for extra longevity with Colourwave petunias or dwarf Princess Lilies.
Plant a fresh supply of leafy greens and herbs in containers for spring salads. It's also a good time to repot trees and shrubs.
