ECAN ELECTIONS
Lincoln Envirotown wishes to remind avid environmentalists and film makers of all ages, that their productions for the ‘Focus for Future Environmental Film Competition’ need to be completed by the new deadline, of Monday, September 12th. We look forward to receiving entertaining and thoughtprovoking films that we have seen in the past. This competition has been taking place annually for many years and has remained very popular. Each year we see different aspects of people's environmental concerns highlighted in their short films. It is open to everyone and attracts both groups and individuals of all ages. Last year, the winners were two boys whose film ‘Biking with Da Eco Boys’ extolled the virtues of getting out of cars and onto bikes. Junior Environment Clubs, Adult Plant Out Projects, and Kindergarten Schools were all in the mix of entries previously. The ‘Oscar-like’ awards evening, where all films are viewed, will take place in late September. There are prizes for everyone, along with category awards and the overall Kea Trophy for the Best Film of the Year. For full information visit Lincoln Envirotown’s Facebook Page or website or see advertisement in this issue for more details.

Te Huanui is looking forward to bringing a wide range of mediums and styles, with its September exhibition, ‘Migration’, opening Friday, August 26th. Featuring popular abstract paintings by Paul Smith , Artweek 2021 prizewinning Silversmith, Angus Goodwin and the creative talents of textile artist Seonaid Burnie Paul Smith is a mostly self-taught artist whose interest in art really began after emigrating to New Zealand from the United Kingdom, in 1973. Paul found the New Zealand landscape provided plenty of inspiration in his early works, working in watercolours and pastels. While he enjoyed working in a representational style, he felt the need to push the boundaries and began experimenting with abstract art, using mixed media, acrylic and collage, for which he is now well Angusknown.Goodwin designs and makes contemporary jewellery from her Lyttelton workshop. Inspired by metals, gemstones and gifts from nature, with the aim of creating unique and wearable art. “I seek resonance with imagery, harmony in proportions, strive for beauty and a bit of whimsy,” commented InterpretingAngus. ‘Migration’ as ‘an act of movement’, is perfect for silversmithing as most pieces move one way or another. 2022 has had many references to movement: with Covid and whether people can move or not, in response to wars around the world, even in politics with people coming and going... Movement is all around uswe migrate from one place to another - and we want our journey to be safe. These pieces of jewellery are talismans for those on the move, each symbolic of different aspects of ‘Migration’ and the act of movement. Inspired by the green spaces of Ōtautahi Christchurch, local textile artist, Seonaid Burnie looks to create connections between the natural world and the art on our walls. Pre-loved and sustainable fabrics are transformed with plant-based dyes in conjunction with the natural process of eco-printing, using locally foraged leaves from the City’s Residential Red Zone. One-of-a-kind textiles, contours of stitch and suggestive whimsical threads are carefully composed to form abstract landscapes influenced by the scenery of Aotearoa New Zealand. This body of work focuses on how we cohabit with our environs, sparking conversations around the social and mental connections we have with our natural surroundings and bigger conversations about modern-day living and climate change.

WELL SUPPORTED RALLY
Aappropriately.hugevariety of cars, motorcycles and even light trucks turned out. Many were in pristine condition, others were everyday drivers, and a few looked like they had just been pulled out from a long and dusty storage, given a WOF and registration and brought along for the day. The earliest vehicle was a Unic manufactured in 1912, and the newest was an almost brand-new Ford Mustang. The crowd were treated to live music, plenty of hot food from the Avonhead Rotary Club, and got to enjoy it all in near perfect weather, with the first shower for the day not arriving until the last car had departed. The organisers were overwhelmed by the generosity of the numerous participants who donated funds at the end of the Rally, raising just over $7,300. They would like to thank everyone who took part and made the day so successful.

The Vintage Car Club (VCC) Canterbury branch successfully organised and hosted a major Daffodil Rally fundraising event for the Cancer Society on Sunday, August 21st. The event had four starting points around Christchurch area, including Rolleston.

The Rally had been cancelled the last two years because of Covid restrictions, and it seemed many participants were keen to ensure this year’s event was celebrated
Prior to illness, well-known Darfield local, Nicola Maley was a healthy, active woman, leading a full and busy life with her husband Shane, and two gorgeous daughters, Charli (12) and Lulu (11). In July 2021, Nicola was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer. Testing found that cancer had also spread to her liver. Nicola underwent chemotherapy and had an operation, removing 70% of her liver, in December 2021. Another course of chemotherapy began, along with radiation therapy to reduce the cancer in her bowel, so they could then remove it and she would hopefully be cancer free. Unfortunately, the cancer returned to her liver. This was a big blow for the family, but in true Nicola fashion, she boxed on and recently completed more chemotherapy to reduce the new tumour in her liver. Unfortunately, the tumour did not reduce enough to operate and has subsequently spread to her lungs. Nicola will now undergo even more chemotherapy to stop the spread and hopefully reduce the liver tumour. The specialists have offered other drugs, Avastin and Cetuximab, which aren’t funded and could give Nicola precious time with her family. A Givealittle page has been created with the aim of raising $70,000 to help fund the Ifmedication.youwould like to donate to the page, it would be much FIGHT Lulu,Nicola,CharliandShaneMaley.

NICOLA’S
2022 SKY TOWER CHALLENGE
IMPACT OF CONSENT NOTICES
By Olivia Edwards, Graduate Planner, Baseline Group. Buying or selling a property can be a stressful time, and due diligence forms are a critical part of deciding if you ought to purchase a home. We advise all our clients to check the title for consent notices and to understand what these mean for the future use of land and Abuildings.consent notice is a restriction held on a Certificate of Title, that requires ongoing compliance for any activity on that site. Consent notices are imposed by Council and often relate to underlying resource or subdivision consents. They can refer to matters such as retaining existing landscaping, restrictions on building materials, a significant natural or cultural feature, building platforms, or methods of servicing.
Consent notices can also be relevant to a particular area your application site is in. New subdivisions often have consent notices with specific conditions related to landscaping and fencing requirements, or what can be built on site. This may restrict your ability to subdivide or develop your site. A property title can have one, or multiple, consent notices and they are permanently held on a title, meaning they can have a big impact on your project. If you have a consent notice on your title, there may be additional reports at the time of construction to demonstrate the proposed activity is suitable for the site. This might be a land assessment by a certified geotechnical engineer, a detailed site investigation if contaminated soils are present, or it might simply require a landowner to install a portable water supply. A planner will be able to identify if there is a consent notice on your title and discuss your options with you, to either remove the consent notice or work around it. Consent notices can be changed if an activity cannot be complied with, by making an application to the Council. An application needs to include an ‘Assessment of Environmental Effects’ (AEE) that describes the environment, the proposed change in the consent notice and assesses the potential environmental effects and the ability to maintain Council objectives and policies. If you need to change a consent notice held on your title, a planner can work with you through each step of the process, providing expert advice to guide you through your project. Working with you and liaising with the Council on your behalf, a planner can review any existing consent applications and draft an application to submit to the Alternatively,Council. a planner will be able to help you identify what you need to work within the limits of your consent notice and connect you with the right expertise to allow you to build upon or use your land. Consent notices impact how you build and what you can do with your land. So, when carrying out due diligence on a property, always check and understand the contents of a consent notice.

TheFireFitCanterburyTeam,withPhilipHuntfromDarfieldinthecentre.
Darfield Volunteer Fire Brigade member, Philip Hunt , joined nine hundred firefighters from across the country to take this challenge on. He was a member of the Fire Fit Canterbury Team, that was made up of Rural and Urban members from across Canterbury. Together the team raised $9,980, and collectively the event raised $1.3 million. Well done to everyone who took part in this tough challenge.
On August 20th, the annual 2022 Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge took place, raising money for Kiwis living with blood cancer. This massive fundraising event is the ultimate challenge for firefighters from all over Aotearoa, to give it their all by climbing Auckland’s Sky Tower. Those who took part in this event climbed 1,103 individual steps (51 flights of stairs) and were dressed in full kit New(25kgs).Zealand’s Firefighters are used to extreme environments, hard work and regularly saving lives. However, in the Firefighter Sky Tower Challenge, these dedicated, strong men and women are putting in the hard yards for Kiwis going through a different kind of challenge. Every day, eight Kiwis are diagnosed with blood cancer or a related blood condition. It can affect anyone, at any age and at any stage in their life.
All brassicas (including brussels sprouts), silverbeet, perpetual spinach, lettuce, spring onions, leeks, celery, parsley, tomatoes, zucchinis, cucumbers, pumpkins, basil, and spring flowers.
Sow in trays undercover for planting out in October:
Collect your free seed and practice your seed raising skills by growing some seedlings for the upcoming Spring Seedling Swap. Choose one or two packets of seed you would like to grow. Sow them in trays, prick them out when they are big enough, and pot them up in punnets. Care for them and watch them grow.

ECan’s Regional Leader of Compliance Monitoring, Steve Firth said, “structures can cause ‘serious environmental impacts’ and have been an issue previously. They can change the hydraulics of the river and cause bank destabilisation, flood risk and sediment issues, which impacts the habitat of native plant and animal life.
The whitebait fishing season now runs from September 1st to October 30th (inclusive) nationwide (except for the Chatham Islands - December 1st to the last day of February inclusive).

• Screens are the only device allowed to divert whitebait into a net, they are limited to three metres maximum length.
• In Canterbury, permanent and temporary structures are not allowed to be built on the bank or bed of a waterway.
NEW WHITEBAITING RULES Whitebait plays an important part in our ecosystem as well as our culture, as a national delicacy. Whitebait are the juveniles of six species of fish. Four of the six New Zealand whitebait species are classified as at risk or threatened. The national whitebaiting regulations have not been revised since the early 1990s, so it’s important to be aware of the NEW changes before enjoying this treasured past time, to improve the sustainability of the species.
“By not using structures it creates an equal opportunity for everyone fishing in the community and will avoid action being taken under the Resource Management Act (RMA),” concluded Steve.Tosee a summary of the regula tions visit the Department of Conservation (DOC)’s website.
• You are only allowed to fish where water levels are affected by the tide.
• Do not fish within twenty metres of any: tide gate, floodgate, confluence, culvert, weir, groyne, outfall structure, or unlawful diversion. You’re also not allowed to fish from any bridge or vessel.
The West Melton Rugby Club Senior teams celebrated the 2022 season on Friday, August 12th. The Division 1, Division 3 (Warthogs) and Colts teams came together to reflect on the year and to present Team and Club Trophies, along with Supporters, Sponsors and Committee TheMembers.Club has been extremely happy with the way all the teams presented themselves this season. They have all played some outstanding footy, and although the results didn’t always go their way, the commitment and dedication couldn’t be faulted. Our Division 1 team had a tough year with low numbers, but they always hung in the fight in most games and were never lacking in commitment. They were well supported by our Division 3 and Colts players, with numerous young Colt lads earning their debut in the Division 1 Competition. Our Club is very proud of the way all our teams supported each other this Congratulationsseason. to senior players Bradley Johns and Dane Kieser for their selection to play for TheEllesmere.Warthogs (Division 3) were our most successful team this year, winning the Ellesmere Final against Prebbleton, who had beaten our boys in two previous matches during the season. The Final was a repeat of last year in the Division 3 Competition, and having been the bridesmaids in numerous finals in past years, the Warthogs were rapt to come away with the Theshield.Colts team produced some really good results this season and only just missed out on the Semi-Finals. They played some great footy, and being a young side they will be a force next year. Our Club is also very pleased to announce the appointment of Rugby Development Manager, Roddy Butt .

“A big thanks also, to all the committee members of the Centre and Clubs who help make the season run smoothly.
Let’s share concerns and ideas.
Malvern Netball, like most winter sports centres, were pleased to get through the season, even though they once again had players affected by Covid. The season started at the end of March with the Senior Midweek Competition, with six teams competing. The overall winner was Springfield/Sheffield Sharks, who also took the honours of winning the Searle Family Challenge Shield again this season.

THE MALVERN A & P ASSN. advise members that the Annual General Meeting will be held at the Sheffield Pavilion on Friday 9th September 2022 at 8pm. All existing and prospective members welcome.
The Social and Year 7/8 Grades played on Saturdays, along with the Year 5/6 Future Ferns. Years 1/2 and 3/4 were held on a Monday afternoon in Term 2 and had a few days postponed due to the weather.
NETBALL PRIZEGIVING
“Val McKenzie was awarded the Betsy Little Service Award for all the dedication she puts into the Centre, and Victoria Leech won the Terina Graham Future Ferns Trophy for all the effort she puts into the Junior Netball Programme on both Monday afternoons and Saturdays. Victoria spends hours planning and presenting the Programme and ensuring it all runs according to plan.
The season has also finished for the Malvern A and Malvern Masters team that play in the Selwyn Netball Competition, on a Thursday night. Both teams were pleased to have made the semi-finals and disappointed to not reach the finals. However, Malvern B and C are both playing off in their Grade finals this weekend at Selwyn Sports Centre in Rolleston. Malvern B started the season in Premier 3 and were promoted after the first round to Premier 2. They went into the semi-final in 4th place and won, which means they play at 1:30pm against Broadfield Senior B.
“The Centre couldn’t run without all the people that volunteer their time and for that, I am extremely grateful,” commented President, Vanessa Moore.

Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and floated away. That night his dad told him they were going to the woolshed after supper. Knowing that meant he was in trouble, the little boy asked why. The dad replied, “Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was you, wasn’t it son?” The boy answered yes. Then he thought a moment and said, “Dad, I read in school today that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and didn’t get into trouble because he told the truth.”
Once there was a little boy who lived in the country. They had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it because it was hot in the summer, cold in the winter and stank all the time. The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and one day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so the little boy decided he was going to push the outhouse into the water. So he got a large stick and started pushing.
The dad replied, “Well, son, George Washington’s father wasn’t in that cherry tree.”
