Selwyns runaway building growth is third only to Auckland and Christchurch according to new data.
The district council processed 1383 new dwelling consents and 2790 building consent applica-tions in total for the year to June 30. The average time to issue a consent was 12 working days.
The only authorities to issue more new dwelling consents over the same time period were Christchurch with 4060 and Auckland with 8899.
Statistics New Zealand figures indicate that Selwyn has been New Zealands fastest growing district for eight years running.
However, the district council appears to have coped well with the pressure of being one of the countrys busiest consenting au-thorities.
The Christchurch City Coun-cil received back its building consent accreditation late last year after the Government was forced to step in and appoint Crown manager Doug Martin to
get it back on track.By comparison the district
council has just become the first council in New Zealand to be re-accredited as a building consent authority three times without
needing to make any changes to existing consent processing practices or systems.
The building consent team was audited in October for the reaccreditation which enables it
to issue building consents.As part of the assessment pro-
cess, International Accreditation New Zealand routinely require corrective actions, when non-compliance with Government
regulations are identified, or issue strong recommendations about how consent processing systems or methods could be improved.
However, the IANZ report found no issues which required corrective actions and made no strong recommendations for Selwyn to improve its process-ing systems.
It also identified Selwyns re-cords of processing and inspec-tion decisions, reasons for de-cisions, and training processes as being of a particularly high standard.
District council building manager Ian Butler said: Our building consent team have put a lot of effort into continuously improving our systems and service for customers and it is a credit to the team that the reaccreditation process has gone so smoothly.
The district council introduced a new online building consent application system in 2013.

A Rolleston couple have told of sewage including toilet paper, seeping from an unconsented valve on to their property.
Lincoln resident Nyki Mc-Queen told Environment Canter-bury hearing commissioners of the smelly problem at delibera-tions for the regional councils new Air Plan, recently.
Mrs Mc-Queen was submitting in opposition to provisions in the plan which would mean the district council can install such valves without having to go through the resource consent process.
Two weeks of evidence has been presented to hearing com-missioners Sir Graham Panck-hurst (above), Jenny Simpson and Yvette Couch-Lewis, with a third week to commence on Monday.
Under current rules, residents officially have the chance to ob-ject to the valves being installed. But it was revealed last year that ECan had not been enforc-ing the requirement for resource consent.
Rolleston residents Maree and Barry Whitefield told the Selwyn Times they had experienced a similar smelly experience.
The valve outside their Brook-side Ave, Rolleston property has also leaked large puddles of raw sewage over the footpath and into their garden, in the past.
This included toilet paper on
the ground and hanging out of the vent and their garden soil had been regularly wet from the sewage.
The valve had been installed in 2004 or 2005 and the White-fields have lived on their prop-erty for about 12 years.
Mrs Whitefield said the valve was turned off for perhaps two
years after they went to talk to the district council about the matter.
A staff member there had told them that a number of other residents had also contacted them about the valve.
However, it had been turned on again about six months ago and while no sewage or toilet paper had leaked out so far, it frequently produced foul odours.
She wasnt happy that ECan was changing the rules so that resource consent would not be required.
We would like to see them gone, they are horrible things, she said.
ECan director resource man-agement Kim Drummond said the issue had been investigated and while it was acknowledged there may have been issues in the past, the matter had only recently been reported.
The investigation found there were no immediate issues that need to be addressed other than continuing regular mainte-nance, he said.
District council asset manager water services Murray England said Sicon routinely checked and maintained the valves.
Smelly problem aired
IN THE SPOTLIGHT: A valve of the type that the McQueens and Whitefields have complained about. These would not need resource consent under proposed changes to ECans Air Plan.
BRIDGE REPAIRThe Rakaia Gorge Bridge

The work involves repairing running boards, inspecting the bridges steel truss support from the bridge deck and installing new kerbs.

CHILEAN NEEDLE GRASSEnvironment Canterbury
is urging all those in rural areas to be on the lookout for chilean needle grass this spring and summer. November and December is the best time to spot the plant pest due to it being ungrazed by stock and its purple seed heads standing out among other pasture. Chilean needle grass currently infests 350ha on 14 properties in North Canterbury. However, more than half of Canterbury is climatically suitable for its growth. For more information, including maps and identifiers, phone chilean needle grass co-ordinator Hannah Eastgate on 027 839 3878 or go to www.facebook.com/chileanneedlegrass

A private collection of memora-bilia will be part of a tour of dec-orated homes and gardens around the Darfield area this month.
The Christmas Trail will fea-ture six homes and two gardens in Darfield, Kirwee and Waddington.
It is the third time the fund-raising event has been run by the Friends of Darfield Hospital, with previous tours having taken place in 2012 and 2013.
The Waddington property,
owned by Jim and Dee Nunan is a former parsonage, with the memorabilia collection and the garden both being features of the tour.
The collection includes every-thing from photographs of histor-ic trains and railways, to kitchen-ware and jewellery with some items dating to the early 1900s.
The collection of memorabilia includes miniature ornaments and photographs from ...
Friends of Darfield Hospital chairman Brian Davidson said
that event had been very suc-cessful, raising $6500 to provide a gazebo for hospital grounds, which was installed about three weeks ago.
Mr Davidson said the hospital was one of the areas most valu-able assets.
Many local residents have had connections with the hospital and
indeed some were born there, he said.
The Christmas Trail will take place on November 29, 11am-5pm, with afternoon tea to be offered at one of the Darfield properties.
Tickets cost $10 for adults, under-16s are free with an adult. They can be bought from Darfield Garden Centre, The Sewing Room or Masons Drap-ery. The tickets include a map and details of the trail. Properties may be visited in any order.

Bid to beautify railway station dealt blowTOM DOUDNEY
A project to beautify Rolleston Railway Station has been dealt a blow with KiwiRail confirming the earthquake-damaged build-ing was unsafe and would remain off limits for the foreseeable future.
Selwyn Central Communi-ty Board chairwoman Diane Chesmar said the news was not unexpected but it was disappointing how long it had taken KiwiRail to produce the report.
We had an independent person look at it so we knew it was not in good repair but we had to wait to get [the news] from KiwiRail who havent been that forthcom-ing.
It had initially been ex-pected by the middle of last year.
A meeting will be held at the end of this month with
sponsors and those with an interest in the project to dis-cuss a way forward.
The project group is look-ing at planter boxes on the platform made of sleepers and has asked KiwiRail to clean the platform.
Other ideas are for a water wheel to be placed on the platform and interpretation panels created.
KiwiRails property team is expected to consider options of improving the platform as well as providing railway sleepers to create planter boxes.
Community board mem-bers have suggested that the Rolleston Mens Shed could have involvement in making the planter boxes.
Mrs Chesmar said Kiwi-Rail was expected to supply a list of what could and could not be done with the building in future and this would be discussed at the meeting.
DISAPPOINTED: Selwyn Central Community Board Chair Diane Chesmar, left, and board secretary Kate Anderson at Rolleston Railway Station.
ROAD NAMES FOR APPROVALThe Selwyn Central Community
Board will decide tomorrow if it will approve new road names in the Wilfield subdivision in West Melton. Kingsdowne Drive, Silver Peaks Drive, Westmere Drive, Fairmont Rise, Snowlea Pl, Glenfinnan Place, Barewood Grove and Rigeland Way could be the potential names if approved. All names have approval from Land Information New Zealand. Also on Wednesday, a new road name in Izone business park in Rolleston could be on the cards. Detroit Drive has been recommended by district council staff. Kaka Place has been recommended for a road in the G & M Lange subdivision in Rolleston while Mary Brittan Rd has been recommended for the Mary Brittan Village Complex also in Rolleston.
CONSULTATION CLOSINGConsultation closes on Friday on
two sections of the proposed local alcohol policy that the district council was told to reconsider following an appeal to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Author-ity. The district council has been asked to reconsider the maximum trading hours for on-licences and location of licensed premises. Submissions can be made by post to pLAP Reconsideration, Selwyn District Council, PO Box 90, Rolleston, emailed to [email protected] or on the district council website in the have your say section.

BY TOM DOUDNEY
Darfield may be set to lose a piece of its history.
The former Malvern County Council offices were damaged in the September 2010 earth-quake and are expected to be demolished.
The Malvern County Council was amalgamated with Elles-mere and part of Paparua coun-ties in 1989 to form the Selwyn District Council.
The building, which sits on Department of Conservation land on North Tce is now owned by St John.
It has not been used since the earthquake.
Now that St John Malvern has opened a new base in Bray St, its future has come back into fo-cus.
Questions were raised at a recent Darfield Township Com-mittee meeting over whether it might be possible to retain the building.
Malvern Community Board member Bob Mugford, also a St John Malvern Area Committee member, said there was some interest in seeing whether this would be possible but it would
be a decision for St Johns re-gional leadership.
However, St John communi-cations adviser Ian Henderson appeared to pour cold water on hopes of retaining it.
He said that the buildings would only remain on site while St John still had an interest in the land.
Once St John relinquishes an interest, then it will need to re-move the improvements (build-ings), and return the land to the Crown.
For now, a garage on the land was still being used to store a vehicle until some minor work was completed at the Bray St base.
A Canterbury Earthquake Re-covery Authority spokeswoman said it had previously issued a Section 51 notice for the build-ing, requiring a structural sur-vey.
This was removed in Sep-tember last year, as CERA un-derstood it was the owners intention to demolish the build-ing.
The building is not occupied and all chattels have been re-moved except floor coverings and curtains. Access to it is re-
stricted because of its potential-ly unstable nature.
Mr Henderson said that St John had considered mak-ing some improvements to the building before the earthquake, as it had no hot water, kitchen or access for disabled people.
There was no consideration at that stage to bring it up to new earthquake codes, he said. The local committee had put some strengthening beams in the ceiling prior to an internal redecoration in the early 2000s. Had this not been done the building could well have col-lapsed in the first of the quakes. It also removed the chimneys at that stage to below roof level.
After the earthquakes, engi-neers had deemed the building to be uneconomic to repair and bring up to the code required so that it could be publicly oc-cupied.
This then resulted in an in-surance claim. After some pro-tracted discussion it was agreed that the building was not fit to repair, and insurance was paid out enabling the local commit-tee to move forward and begin the job of finding a new home.

Greater Christchurch Regeneration BillChristchurch Parliament needs you to have your say about a proposed 5-year plan to regenerate your city. The Bill aims to shift Christchurch from recovery to regeneration.The Bill supports a collaborative approach between central and local government, with regeneration planning open for public discussion. A new transitional organisation, Regenerate Christchurch, would be established. It would focus on certain areas of Christchurch (such as the residential red zones), but after June 2021 a new council-led organisation would be set up in its place. Read the Bill at: www.legislation.govt.nz. You can submit your thoughts to Parliaments Local Government and Environment Committee on the Parliament website, or you can post your submission to: LGE Committee, Level 10 Bowen House, Parliament Buildings, WELLINGTON 6160.Submissions close 4 December 2015. Please mention REF#REGEN. NB: your submission will be shared on the Parliament website, so please separate your contact details from your submission.

Spokes Canterbury chairman Don Babe, of Rolleston
At the end of August, Mayor Kelvin Cole at-tended an occasion at Mona Vale in Christchurch.
It was the of-ficial opening of the Lincoln to Rolleston cycle path that was held in conjunction with the opening of the first bit of the major cycleways routes in Christchurch. Transport Minister Simon Bridges did the honours and the chief executive of Christ-church City Council spoke on behalf of local residents.
These were the second and third cycle paths to be opened under the Governments Urban Cycleway Fund. One in Palmer-ston North was first.
It was great that a project in Selwyn got included in the Urban Cycle Fund programme, as we usually consider ourselves to be rural.
The Lincoln to Rolleston path is narrower than good design principles require but the users spoken to last weekend were all very enthusiastic it is in place. It
seems any infrastructure is better than none.
Meanwhile, Dr Catherine Elliot has joined the recreation and sport team at Lincoln Uni-versity. Catherine is very keen to see people exercising more and sees cycling as an easy first step.
She has just negotiated that three bike-share bicycles will be stationed at the university for use
by anyone. The staff are appreci-ating that most students are away for summer so they get better access to the bicycles.
Catherine is working with the district council on a number of initiatives. One is a bicycle storage facility at Prebbleton so people can bus or drive to Prebbleton then get on their bicycle for the last 7km journey to Lincoln.
Cycling there and back three or more times a week has been shown to have great health benefits. Obviously Lincoln residents can cycle to Prebbleton then use the bus to go to the city while those that work in Lincoln can bus to Prebbleton then cycle to Lincoln.
It is likely parking will be easier in Prebbleton using coun-cil facilities.

Laurie Squires, HororataThe district council voted 8-2 in favour of granting the $8million loan to Central Plains Water.
There are 12 elected members on the district council
The two who failed to vote are John Morten and Sam Brough-ton, whom we elected to repre-sent us in the Malvern ward.
Could they please tell us why they failed to vote on such an important issue?
District councillor Sam Broughton responds
I read the submissions and sat through the hearing but decided to step back from the voting pro-cess as my parents and brother own shares in Central Plains Water.
This could have caused people to have a perception of bias in the decision-making process and confused the district council outcome.
Based on the evidence and arguments presented to district council until deliberations, I would have voted in favour of lending the money for design work.
If anyone wants to talk to me about this, they can call me on 318 8133 or 027 223 8345.
District councillor John Morten responds
I was unable to participate in the hearings and deliberations
on the proposed loan because of an overseas family commit-ment which I had booked weeks before the meeting dates were scheduled.
The district council recently decided to scrap the Selwyn Central Community Board at the next election. Board chair-woman Diane Chesmar had voted in support of the recom-mendation going out to public consultation, prompting fellow board members Alan French and Bruce Russell to call for her to resign. Mrs Chesmar responded by saying she had acted in the best interests of the community and referring to Mr French and Mr Russell as two old chaps who think its a bit of mana to be on the community board. Former chairwoman Liz Russell writes.
Unlike most councils in New Zealand, the Selwyn District Council has openly opposed community boards in Selwyn for many years so the review committees recommendation to scrap the local community board comes as no surprise. The coun-cil believes in committees run by volunteers with some council funding instead. And this works in some areas but energetic committed volunteers are hard to find especially in Rolleston and West Melton.

Little can be achieved by community boards without money and more delegated authority from the council so this has been the problem here. Unless the council changes its stance community boards will never work here. However, councillors will have to work harder to collect information from residents without the presence of board members. Increased numbers of councillors costing ratepayers more may be mooted.
I feel disappointed to read about the personal attacks on Bruce Russell (he is no relation) and Alan French whose voluntary work far exceeds any paid work they do for the community board. As chairwoman of the Selwyn Central Community Board for three years and secretary for West Melton committees for four years, I saw Bruce Russells massive input into improving recreation, public facilities and safety for West Melton. I also saw community-minded residents taking over under his guidance. Alan French has also worked hard to improve living in Selwyn. He is a strong voice for residents.
Although the community board chairwoman has chosen to stay, she should have abstained from voting in my opinion. Her position in the committee was to represent the community board so she did not have the mandate
to vote for removing the Selwyn Central Community Board.
Amongst our newcomers there are people who want to see Rolleston grow successfully into a city. Please give your talent and time to improving local govern-ment here. Mrs Chesmar was approached for comment but declined the offer.

All the best to studentsOver the next few weeks 17,765 students across Can-terbury will sit end-of-year NCEA exams.
Our local students have worked hard to prepare for these exams and I congratulate them for their hard work so far.
I want every Selwyn teen to leave school with the skills they need to reach their po-tential.
Im confident our students are capable, and well prepared by our world-class education system.
Through the efforts of our hard-working teachers and effective educational policies, school achievement has gone from strength to strength. Were learning to work better across agencies and to make better use of data to target resources.
So far we have established 42 communities of learning across the country. This means students will benefit from shared teaching practices and expertise, with schools work-ing alongside each other on shared goals.
The Governments managed network for digital learning is giving students access to fast,
reliable internet with uncapped data, web filtering, and net-work security services. Over 590,000 teachers and students are connected to the network and by the end of this year we expect around 90 per cent of schools to be connected.
Learning environments are also important. Several new schools are currently planned or under construction in Sel-wyn.
Meanwhile, many other local schools have ben-efited from the Governments multi-million dollar invest-ment in new classrooms to meet roll-growth demand and upgrades to existing facilities. For example, I was at Darfield Primary School recently to celebrate the opening of the schools recently refurbished senior classroom block.
We know the higher the achievement at school, the better the opportunities for further education, employ-
ment, higher wages, and a bet-ter standard of living. Thats why the Government set an ambitious target of 85 per cent of all 18-year-olds achieving NCEA Level 2 or an equiva-lent qualification in 2017.
Last year 81.9 per cent of 18-year-olds in Canterbury held a NCEA Level 2 quali-fication or above. This is an increase of 6.3 percentage points since 2011.
These results mean thou-sands more New Zealand stu-dents are leaving school every year equipped with the skills they need to undertake further education or training.
Our teachers and principals do a fantastic job and I thank them for their dedication. I have no doubt the hard work of teachers, parents, and students will be reflected in this years NCEA results and I would like to wish all our Selwyn students the very best of luck for their exams.

Record knock just the start for
RUN MACHINE: South Malvern batsman James Ferris has been in a rich vein of form over the past two seasons.
PHOTO: KAREN CASEY
How did that big knock hap-pen? Were you in a bad mood that day and taking it out on the bowlers?
Its how I play. Sometimes it pays off and I middle everything and other times it doesnt. Its just that everything was going my way, really.
Tell me about what it felt like while you were out there? Were you seeing the ball like it was a beach ball or what?
Nah, I just needed to get it in my slot. I used to play hockey as well so its not that I have a re-ally good technique but its one that works for me.
Do you know where that knock ranks in your clubs records for fastest centuries?
Im not sure. Last year I also got 275 off 93 balls - but Im pretty sure my fastest was that last century because it was off 34 balls.
My fastest 50 is off 18 balls and I have done that about three or four times now, so I cant beat it.
For the last two seasons run-ning I have had the most runs in the Canterbury Country com-petition and the performance of the year. I have only played for South Malvern for three seasons [before this one] and my first season wasnt that great but I have got used to it now.
How old are you and what brought you to South Mal-vern?
I just turned 25. I moved out to Sheffield when I got a job at the freezing works. I played in Christchurch before then for Lancaster Park.
I asked a guy at the Shef-field pub if he knew anyone who played cricket and funnily enough he did.
After the 119, whats your
next best score this season?Weve only had a few games
but in the first game I got 90 off 40 balls and I got 35 when we were only chasing 80.
I think my average is about 130 this season.
How many centuries have you scored in your time with South Malvern?
Maybe about seven or eight? Im not sure but its a few.
How old were you when you started playing cricket?
I was about 15. I grew up down south and played age group cricket for Otago but since I moved up here there has been nothing [above club level] really.
They havent asked me to train with the Canterbury Coun-try team yet.
Fifteen seems like a late age to have started a sport that you went on to become quite talented at.
I was concentrating on hockey more back then and I thought I would give cricket a go with my mates one day. I enjoyed it and was alright at it so I just kept playing.
Are you still playing hockey?I had the last season off, so
not at the moment.
South Malvern cricketer James Ferris hit a blistering 119 off 39 deliveries against Oxford in his second match of the season. He spoke to Tom Doudney about that knock, his approach to batting and being a late starter in the sport.
Tuesday November 17 2015 SELWYN TIMES10
Tell us whats happening at your club. Email [email protected] cricketer
Have you done quite well in hockey too?
I played for Otago in hockey as well through the age groups.
Did you go to any of the Cricket World Cup matches held in New Zealand earlier this year?
I was actually involved with running traffic at the events - the car parking and the lane drops and things like that. I work for
a temporary traffic management company called Men at Work. I did get in and see a bit of the cricket though.
Apart from sport, what are your hobbies and interests?
I work quite a lot. I do 12 hour days and I have a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter so when I am not working, I spend time with her. That and cricket is basically it.
Are you still living in Shef-field?
No, Ive moved back into Christchurch now.
How come you are still play-ing for South Malvern?
Its just a good environment as we are all mates. I have played some good cricket with them and had some of my best memo-ries playing cricket so I dont see why I should move.
ROLLESTON SCOUTSIt will be Christmas come
early at Christchurchs Mayfair Rest Home when the Rolleston Scouts pop in to sing Christmas carols on November 25.
Another event on the calen-dar will be a Kon-Tiki raft race and barbecue at The Groynes at the end of the month, attended by Scouts groups from around Canterbury.
Two of the Rolleston Scouts, 17-year-old Michael Johnson and 18-year-old Ben Wright, have earned their Queens Scout Awards and will have them presented by Governor General Sir Jerry Mateparae at Government House early next year. The award is the highest honour for Scouts.
The Rolleston Scouts have 150 members ranging in age from five up until the late teens, with new members always welcome.
The group would be keen to hear from any volunteers able to lend a hand in a range of capacities - not just supervising children. Administrative tasks and building and maintenance are examples.
For more information, call group leader Steve Guy on 027 889 3599.
ELLESMERE LIONS CLUBThe Ellesmere Lions have
been busy helping out at 150th anniversary celebrations for Southbridge township and Leeston Consolidated School, as well as the Ellesmere A&P Show, all within the last month.
Helping with car parking and managing entry to such events is just part of what the club does.
It has organised a range of fundraising activities and other projects throughout the year.
Funds from the clubs annual golf tournament in July went towards local projects such as reroofing the Sedgemere Hall and a new electronic score clock in the gym at Ellesmere College. The balance of that money will be donated to St John.
Lions have also been col-lecting firewood to donate to vulnerable residents who need help with heating.
Another project the club is looking into is upgrading the bird hide at Lakeside.
The club has a strong mem-bership of about 50 people but more are always welcome. To find out more, contact president John Foster on 324 2703 or [email protected]

Darfield Primary Schools senior classroom block has reopened after being refurbished as a mod-ern learning environment.
Office manager Kate Brunner said while previously the block had contained four separate classrooms, they would now function as one big collaborative learning space.
Walls and ceilings at the school were damaged in the September 2010 earthquake, and repaired for $111,000.
Ministry of Education head of infrastructure service Kim Shan-non said after those repairs were completed, it was realised that the block needed major renova-tion work.
We provided $800,000 of funding as the school used the opportunity to upgrade the block to become an innovative learning
environment, she said.This involved taking down
walls between four classrooms and designing them as flexible spaces. We also upgraded other aspects of the building such as the acoustics, lighting, technol-ogy, heating and air quality. Breakout areas were also cre-ated to allow children flexibility in where they work. The flexible spaces are designed for teachers
to be able to use the classrooms in a variety of ways, providing different activities for students so they can learn at a level appropriate to their individual development. The new spaces will also enable teachers to work together; sup-porting each other with planning and delivering the curriculum, and assessing each childs prog-ress, Ms Shannon said.

A Southbridge firefighter set the fastest ever time for a New Zealander competing in the World Firefighter Combat Challenge in Montgomery, Alabama.
Steven Maw was part of a team of 12 New Zealanders competing in the event in October.
Overall, more than 600 compet-itors from 14 countries took part in the challenge which involved a series of gruelling tasks such as carrying a hose up six flights of stairs and dragging a dummy for 30m.
Mr Maws time of 1min 28sec 22 makes him the only Kiwi to have completed the challenge in less than 1min 30sec.
His brother and fellow South-bridge firefighter Hamish Maw also competed, achieving a Lions Den (under 1min 40sec).
Steven Maw said watching his brothers performance had inspired him to his record setting time.
On day two I had run bang on 1min 30sec and I thought to myself I havent got another fast run in me. Then on finals day, we raced at night and I wasnt in a good mood to be racing until Hamish got his Lions Den. That picked up my mood and I was excited to run, so when I went out there, I felt good and it just went really smooth.
The brothers father Wayne Maw, also a Southbridge firefight-er, recorded a Lions Den over 50 (2min 30sec) time at last years event. Together they are the only father and two sons from any country to have shared the feat in the 24 years that the event has been held.
This year, all three Maws also competed as a three-man relay team, recording a time of 1min 25sec. This would have been good enough to have won the relay event at this years New Zealand Firefighters Combat Challenge but only secured them 68th spot out of 112 teams on the world stage.
Other Selwyn residents to achieve success included Lincoln firefighter Amelia Wood, who achieved a Lions Den time and Christchurch Airport firefighter Tom Reid.
Mr Reid, a Rolleston resident,
was part of a world record setting over 60 tandem team with Cana-dian firefighter Jacques Breton. However, their record of 1min 55sec 40 was broken the next day by another team and they finished second.
Wayne and Steven Maw thanked 5R Solutions Ltd who sponsored their competition gear.

Past and present will collide hopefully not literally at Rua-puna Speedway on Saturday night.
An exhibition by cars and star drivers from days gone by will appear on a programme which also highlights current day rac-ers.
Among those scheduled to ap-pear as part of Legends Night is 78-year-old Don Cameron, in his vintage stock rod, who was one of the big names at the track in the 1960s.
About five years ago, Cam-eron decided to re-create his famous stock rod, known as the Freddie Flintstone Special, a car he considered the best he had
driven during more than 20 years of racing.
Featuring a side-valve Ford V8 engine, the car is likely to rekindle memories for long time fans as will the appearance of several old TQs and Midgets.
The event will also feature the first round of the Southern Midget Series with drivers com-
ing from as far away as Dunedin and Nelson to compete.
Among those lining up will be Ohokas Gary Chadwick who drew first blood at Ruapunas opening night when he pipped Southbridges Tom Lumsden on the line to win the Midget Car feature. Motukararas Glenn Ev-erett and Rollestons Glen Du-
rie have showed strong form as well.
Another feature of Saturdays programme will be the third an-nual tribute race for TQ Midget competitors in memory of the late Ryan Stone who was one of the countrys top racers.
Stone died of cancer in 2013.Current South Island Champi-
on Jeremy Webb won the event last season, and has lost just one of the 12 races that he has con-tested around the South Island so far this season. He will be at short odds to repeat last seasons win.
The first race is at 6.30pm, with gates opening at 5.30pm.

HALSWELL CRICKET WINThe Halswell Senior A cricket side secured their first one day win of the season, with a com-fortable win over Richmond at Richmond Park on Saturday. Batting first, Richmond scored 195/9 in their 45 overs. In re-sponse, Halswell started well before losing three wickets for 24 runs. Matt McClintock (47no) and Leighton Johnston (40) then shared a 107 run part-nership to steady the innings, Halswell eventually chasing the total down in 35 overs for the loss of four wickets.

gardening
FRUIT CROPSCherries and plums are really
starting to plump up now. In some areas the
yields are looking exceptional; to maintain them, and to prevent them from shedding too much, water the soil deeply once a week.
Codling moth traps should
be hung in apple, pear and quince trees.
Remove any rootstock shoots from the base of fruit trees, these leafy stems will never produce fruit and take nutrients from the fruit part of the tree.
CUCURBITS & MORECourgettes, cucumbers, gherkins and squash can all go in now.These crops will quickly romp away in richly prepared soil, compost, sheep pellets and manure. Watch out for the white powdery mildew, especially on courgettes, pluck off the worst leaves to limit it spreading and spray with a mixture of baking soda and milk.
Salad gardens; keep planting new seedlings or sowing seeds in salad beds and plots. Just sprinkling a few seeds every few weeks is enough to keep you going. Try planting up some colourful combinations in tubs and boxes. As long as they get plenty of sun and are planted into good vegetable potting mix, you will be in business.
Scarecrows have been around for centuries and not only look good but can play a beneficial role in the garden by deterring birds and invaders. Have fun and add one to your garden this season.
POTATOES Spuds growing in buckets should be all tops now time to get them to focus their energy on producing more under the soil. Do this by adding another layer of vegetable mix or compost to stimulate a heftier harvest. Aim to water them at least twice a week as spuds have a high water content. Mole up potatoes planted out in rows in the garden, and plant out main-crop varieties now. If you forgot to do it at planting time, apply a side dressing of potato fertiliser.
WITH THE summer months knocking on the door, and the growth of everything in the garden at full speed, it can sometimes be hard to know where to start.
To prevent your garden from getting on top of you, prioritise
what urks you the most versus what rewards you the most.
A freshly mown lawn can hide a multitude of weedy sins, so if you cant tackle all the weeds in one go, do the lawns instead.
Sweeping up leafy paths and
spraying driveway weeds with an almost instant weed spray, is almost instantly gratifying.
Hoeing is the quickest way to weed, and if the weeds are small, they can just be left there to fry off in the sun and wilt away.
MARGUERITE DAISIES Marguerite daisies are in flower now and it seems every season new ones appear. Look out for Argyranthemum Beauty Yellow, it is one of the most cheerful-looking varieties with the cleanest sunny-yellow blooms and contrasting citrus-green foliage. As with all marguerite daisies, they are sun lovers. Forget about planting them in the shade, they simply wont shine. A light trim if they get a bit woolly looking is about all the maintenance they may need. They are perfect for tubs and planter boxes, however most are too big for window boxes and hanging baskets. If yellow isnt your colour, then look to the clean pink and white varieties, deeper shades of crimson appear from time to time as do two-toned blends.
Marguerite daisies are
ideal for tubs.
For something new, try
Argyranthemum Beauty Yellow.

Answer: Thanks for your great question Laura! Just
a quick explanation for our readers, this process called hardening off is used to slowly introduce your seedlings that have been growing inside, to the outside elements. It helps them to better cope with the change of direct sunlight, ranging temperatures, and wind. At this time of the season about 3 to 5 days outside in a sunny spot would be enough to harden off plants before transplanting. The strong sunlight will strengthen the stems and cell walls which will reduce transplant shock. We would suggest that plants are best transplanted in the cooler evenings and then treated to a good watering afterwards. This process will be great for the seedlings you mentioned you had (corn, zucchini, pumpkin, cucumber, tomatoes, rock melon, watermelon and lettuces).
What is transplant shock?Transplant shock is a term that is used to describe the stresses that can occur on plants that are being transplanted. It includes failure of the plant to root well in the ground, meaning that its chances of survival are reduced. Here are some tips to help reduce stress:
Disturb the roots as little as possible Bring as much of the roots as possible Water thoroughly after Always make sure the root ball stays moist
GO IN ThE draW TO
gardening
CABBAGE TREESCabbage trees can do with a tidy up as shedded leaves play havoc with the lawnmower. When collecting these, tie them in knots to use as fire lighters next winter. The sweetly perfumed flower spikes should be starting to form, and are delightful when picked, however, the challenge is always getting up the ladder to actually cut them.
The seed heads of hellebores are fattening up. If left on the plants, the seeds will sprinkle into the garden, germinating after Christmas.
TOMATOES Tomatoes should be in
the ground sooner rather than later now that all the frosts have passed. When planting, feel free to bury them deeply
into the soil, new roots will grow out
from the main stem, helping anchor them
better into the soil. The exception for this is with
grafted tomatoes as the graft needs to stay above the soil. Its a little late in the season to be sowing seed now, but thats not a problem as punnets of seedlings are still around and are great value for under $5. If you just want one or two plants, hunt
out the grafted SuperToms, these produce more fruit per plant.
ROSESRoses are taking centre stage now. To keep them at their best, water deeply twice a week, and dont be frightened to trim back any wild-looking plants. Did you know that roses re-bloom in six weeks after pruning? So, if you have a special event coming up over summer and want to ensure the roses are in full bloom, deadhead or lightly prune six weeks prior. Spray on a regular basis to deal with any pest and disease issues.
GARDENING IN pots is a spectacularly rewarding and low labour hobby.
Instead of battling the elements, treating tired old soil, weed-ing and digging frantically, you simply tip the prepared perfect potting mix into the container, follow it up with the plants, water and wait.
Its hard to go wrong. You just move the pot around until youve found the perfect sunny or shady spot because a container garden is
portable.You can move it about your
home, patio or garden to fill bare spots at any time of year. And best of all, when you move house, you dont have to leave your cherished garden behind they all shift with the furniture.
Furthermore, container gardens look great anywhere as hanging baskets on terraces and pergolas, half round containers spilling colour down a wall or fence, or simply sitting on paved areas.
Pots are suitable for both indoors and outdoors

Keep the watering up now to stay ahead of the game. Water is essential for healthy plant growth and development. Establish a good watering routine, ensuring you give your plants a good deep soak every few days rather than a light sprinkling every day.
Get rid of those pesky weeds! Not only do they look unsightly, they take up a lot of nutrients and water that your plants need, as well as fight for space. Dedicate time to remove them as soon as they pop up, then the task wont seem so daunting if you walk out one day and all you see is weeds!
is on the way! Summer
On the To Do list Mound up the soil around the tops of your potatoes to encourage a larger crop. Early spuds like Swift and Rocket may be ready for harvest. Once the crop flowers and the stems begin to wither it indicates the crop is ready. Spuds require plenty of water as the crop begins to develop.
Plant a punnet every couple of weeks to ensure a ready supply. Lettuce seeds germinate readily now. Thin out the rows to allow the plant room to move, the thinned out seedlings can be replanted. Share them with friends and neighbours.
To ensure you have enough juicy lemons, keep the water up to your plants while they are in flower now. Dry lemons are directly related to lack of water as the crop develops over Summer. A layer of mulch works wonders, apply mulch after watering the soil.
Getting prepared for SummerMulch!! Yes, this word pops up all the time, but it is a saving grace when it comes to protecting your plants. If you havent already got bark on your garden, add a layer of organic compost now. Mix it through your existing soil. Keep the watering up over the next few weeks, then look to add your bark mulch before the heat really fires up. If you have got a thin layer of bark, try and boost it up to a good 10cm, this will help get the best results. If you have already added your bark well done!

Call in and see us at the Courtenay A&P Show and go in the draw to win a Honda water blaster.
[Edition datE]2
This year marks the 140th running of the Courtenay A&P Show and once again should prove a highlight of the local calendar, with organisers hoping for a good crowd. The shows theme for 2015 is Lifestyle Block & Boutique Businesses.
Named for its original location, Courtenay, the show was moved to Kirwee within a few years of its launch, and with the township located just 20 minutes from Christchurch, the show offers the opportunity for a great day out in the country for city dwellers this Saturday, November 21.
Horses are a key focus of the Courtenay Show, and this year there are 225 entries, slightly down on last year, association secretary Sharon Kellock says. They include entries in the new pinto and gypsy cob section.
The overall number of entries for the show is 3000.
The dog trials are always popular with visitors to the show, who will be keen to see the two top-placed dogs from Fridays trials put through their paces in the
District Final Dog Trial. This will take place at approximately 12.30pm, while around the same time the terrier races are sure to create some fun and excitement.
The machinery parade at 1pm will be followed by the Grand Parade at 1.30pm. Then from 2.30pm to 6pm the keenly contested show jumping events for hunters and ponies will take place.
Once every three years, the Royal Agricultural Society allocates a medal to an entrant in an area of the show, which is different every time. This year, association president Adrienne Begg decided that for a change, it would go to someone with entries in the Shed.
It will be given to the person who gains the most points in at least three sections in the Shed, Mrs Begg says.
Shed exhibits include wine, crafts, art, photography, flowers and vegetables. Entries will be taken on Wednesday, November 18 for the fruit, vegetable, flower and decorated sections. For details, contact Adrienne Begg, phone (03) 3181 897.
As usual, the show offers a wide array of
Show offering plenty of crowd-pleasing events
attractions and entertainment for visitors, and this year they include the Lab in a Box, from the University of Otago, with former Kirwee School pupil Andrew Cridge, one of the university students involved in its development.
This interactive science lab is in a container, which has been refurbished with state-of-the-art equipment. It has been touring the South Island and we are lucky that the visit coincides with our show, Mrs Kellock says.
Rudd Kleinpaste (the Bug Man) will be at the lab during the show, so its well worth a visit for this alone!
The show also once again features the talents of DJ Singh, the Ellesmere
Pipe Band, childrens entertainer Shad Rutherford, and a new exhibit in the Presidents Marquee the Arion Farm Park display. There will be young animals of all descriptions for children to interact with, including ponies, calves, lambs, goat kids, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and piglets.
Admission to the show is free to under-16s and $10 for age 16 and over.
