Help us make Selwyn Drains are only for rain You may have noticed that parts of Selwyn are home to some new residents. New blue plastic ish symbols have been installed at some better for young people roadside sumps as part of a new stormwater education initiative. The plastic ish are there as a reminder that drains are only for rain and that we all need to protect our waterways. Stormwater drains in some parts of Selwyn (like Tai Tapu, Lincoln, Springston, and Leeston) discharge into Council’s Land Drainage network and drain to Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. Anything that gets spilt on the road or your driveway can be washed into the drain, and will have an impact on the environment. Water from washing your paint brushes, spilt oil or your car could be going directly into our waterways. Our drains are home to tuna, inanga and Canterbury mudish (pictured below). Here are some tips to help protect our drains, our environment and local ish species: · Use a car wash or wash your car on grassed areas · Fix oil leaks in vehicles as soon as you can · Don’t tip any waste paint, oil, antifreeze or chemicals down the drain. Instead take them to the Pines Resource Recovery Park for recycling or safe disposal. Household volumes of hazardous waste are accepted free of charge · Don’t let rubbish get into your drains, it could cause a blockage · Sweep up garden waste from your driveway rather than allowing it to wash down the drain · Dispose of pet waste in your red bin. If you notice a spill that could get into the stormwater system or waterway, please call Council on 347 2800 or the Environment Canterbury Pollution Hotline on 0800 76 55 88.

ERIN TASKER

An Ashburton JP’s 40 years of service has been celebrated with the presentation of a certificate of appreciation. Jack Ross was appointed as a Justice of the Peace on February 7, 1976, at the Ashburton Dis- trict Court and he served as an active JP for 37 years. He accepted JP Retired status on April 18, 2013. Ross served as president of the Ashburton association from 1987 to 1988 and was registrar from 1989 to 1994. He also represented the associ- ation at Royal Federation conferences during his terms of office. Born in Auckland and educated at Kings High School, Dunedin, Ross gained further qualifications at University of Otago and Univer- sity of Canterbury and became an accountant. He retired from public practice as an accountant in 1998. For 13 years he was a weekly newspaper colum- nist and during his tenure he wrote several books including one of selected columns he had written, sketches of Ashburton and odd signposts he had observed during his travels. His hobbies include oil painting and sketching, wood turning, fishing and gardening, and his skill as a wood turner was appreciated when he pro- duced a Gavel and Rest which is still used for all of the association’s formal meetings. Current Ashburton Justice of the Peace Associ- ation president Paul Dixon presented Ross with his 40 year certificate at the association’s annual dinner recently, where he was thanked for his services to the community. JPs offer a range of services, including minis- terial and judicial. They can witness documents such as applications for citizenship, certifying copies and taking declarations, affidavits and affirmations. To become a JP, nominations for appointments must be accepted from the MP for the electorate where the nominee resides, or from an endorsed list MP. Anyone interested in becoming a JP should make contact with the registrar of their local JP association for guidance. In Ashburton the registrar is Noel Lowe. Ashburton JPs hold a signing centre at Com- munity House on Cass Street, on Tuesdays from midday until 3pm.
