Teen US-bound for<br />

prestigious golf champs<br />

CAITLIN MILES<br />

A Darfield teenager will be<br />

teeing off with the big leagues<br />

in a golf championship in the<br />

United States.<br />

The nerves are yet to hit<br />

Dominic Brettkelly, 16, as he<br />

ramps up training for the IMG<br />

Junior World Golf Championships<br />

in San Diego in July.<br />

He has been accepted for a<br />

place in the 15-17 year boys’<br />

section of the competition<br />

which involves 1200<br />

participants from 56 countries<br />

competing on Torrey Pines<br />

South Course, which has<br />

previously hosted the US Open<br />

and PGA tour.<br />

Dominic’s grandfather gave<br />

him his first golf club when<br />

he was 18-months-old and he<br />

joined the Hororata Golf Club<br />

when he was six and started<br />

training at 12.<br />

This is the first time Dominic<br />

will compete in the championships<br />

and he is excited to stand<br />

on the same course some of the<br />

greats have.<br />

“Mum told me as soon as I<br />

woke up and it just made my<br />

day. It’s going to be a surreal<br />

experience, I’ve never played<br />

in America so it’ll be a really<br />

great opportunity,” he said.<br />

Fire ban<br />

imposed<br />

again<br />

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE<br />

Unseasonable dry weather has<br />

forced the return of a total fire<br />

ban in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District.<br />

Yesterday the district council<br />

implemented the fire ban, because<br />

of low rainfall in the area.<br />

The previous fire ban was<br />

lifted on April 4 after being<br />

reduced in January.<br />

Darfield chief fire officer Alan<br />

Kittelty said it was the closest to<br />

winter he could remember a ban<br />

being implemented.<br />

No outdoor fires can be lit in<br />

the district, and the burning of<br />

crop stubble is also not allowed.<br />

Gas barbecues with water nearby<br />

are allowed, but not charcoal<br />

barbecues.<br />

All fire permits previously<br />

issued by the district council are<br />

also cancelled.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s principal rural fire<br />

officer Douglas Marshall said<br />

vegetation had become dry, and<br />

meant fires could “quickly get<br />

out of control.”<br />

Mr Kittelty said the fire ban<br />

was put in place out of “necessity”.<br />

“It is pretty late in the piece to<br />

be in this situation, but it’s been<br />

pretty dry, we haven’t had a bit<br />

of rain for a while,” he said.<br />

Mr Marshall said the district<br />

council would review the ban<br />

regularly, and will lift restrictions<br />

“as soon as it becomes safe”.<br />

Mr Kittelty said if anyone sees<br />

a fire burning out of control, they<br />

should “get in touch with us as<br />

soon as possible.”<br />

A fee of $1150 can be charged<br />

for a fire call out if a fire has<br />

been lit which breaches fire restrictions.<br />

The fee is given back<br />

to local volunteer fire forces.<br />

Battle over for new hall<br />

CAITLIN MILES<br />

After a battle with the district<br />

council the Greenpark<br />

community has a new hall.<br />

The Greenpark Hall was badly<br />

damaged in the September 20<strong>10</strong><br />

and February 2011 earthquakes<br />

and had to be demolished.<br />

The district council considered<br />

not building a new one<br />

as the Lincoln Event Centre is<br />

close to the area but residents<br />

said they needed it to be rebuilt.<br />

“We have more people moving<br />

into the area and need a<br />

space for people to meet. It’s<br />

important that we have a hall,”<br />

said Greenpark Memorial Community<br />

Committee chairman<br />

Terry Lassen.<br />

The community also lost<br />

Greenpark School in 2012 and<br />

Mr Lassen said it was hard losing<br />

both the school and hall in a<br />

short space of time.<br />

“It was hard losing both, so<br />

when they considered not rebuilding<br />

it we stuck to our guns<br />

and got what we wanted,” Mr<br />

Lassen said.<br />

The new hall has been built<br />

in Greenpark Domain and can<br />

be used for many community<br />

events.<br />

“It can be used for sports and<br />

community gatherings, dances<br />

and anything the community<br />

need it for, we wanted it to be<br />

able to be used for anything,” he<br />

said.<br />

The total cost of the build<br />

was $849,085. The fit-out of the<br />

building was funded through<br />

grants and donations.<br />

Mr Lassen said it’s exciting<br />

news for the residents who have<br />

been fighting for the hall to be<br />

rebuilt.<br />

The facility will include a<br />

large meeting room, floor space,<br />

storage rooms and lockers and a<br />

kitchen.<br />

The hall is being officially<br />

opened on Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 22, by<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams. The<br />

celebrations will start off with<br />

the original foundation stone<br />

plaque will be unveiled which<br />

will be rededicated by Ivan Norton,<br />

the Greenpark RSA president<br />

before an afternoon tea and<br />

lolly scramble for the children.<br />

ROAD CLOSURE<br />

Jones Rd in Rolleston will be<br />

closed for construction work over<br />

the weekend. The road will be<br />

closed between Weedons Ross<br />

and Hoskyns Rds from Saturday<br />

9am until Monday 6am. Fulton<br />

Hogan requested the closure on<br />

behalf of Lyttelton Port Company<br />

so it can install panels between<br />

the road and rail road tracks so<br />

vehicles can move more smoothly<br />

over the tracks. A marked detour<br />

will operate via Weedons Ross,<br />

Maddisons and Hoskyns Rds<br />

until Jones Rd reopens.<br />

ROAD NAMES APPROVED<br />

The district council has approved<br />

the naming of two new roads<br />

in the Ballymackey subdivision<br />

in Tai Tapu. At the last district<br />

council meeting councillors<br />

agreed on Ardrossan Way<br />

and Ryan Pl to be put in the<br />

subdivision as they are relevant<br />

to the Ryan family, which is the<br />

name of the developer of the<br />

subdivision.<br />

ART SURVEY<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Arts Trust wants<br />

more community input into<br />

art in the district. The trust, in<br />

partnership with the district<br />

council, has created a survey<br />

asking people around the<br />

area about the future of art in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> and what they would<br />

like to see. The survey is on the<br />

Driver thrown from truck<br />

Truck driver Craig Nash had a<br />

miraculous escape after being<br />

thrown from his crashing truck<br />

on the Southern Motorway on<br />

Wednesday.<br />

In spite of the crash he texted<br />

his boss, Peter Macdonald, from<br />

a hospital bed a few hours later<br />

asking if he was still needed<br />

for an urgent delivery in the<br />

afternoon.<br />

“I told him he didn’t need to<br />

worry about that. He is one lucky<br />

cookie,” Mr Macdonald said.<br />

Mr Nash was heading south to<br />

deliver goods in Wigram when<br />

his truck smashed through the<br />

middle divider, across two lanes<br />

of north-bound traffic before<br />

ending up in a ditch on the side<br />

of the road.<br />

A witness said oncoming traffic<br />

had to take evasive action to<br />

avoid the out-of-control vehicle<br />

as it crossed their lanes.<br />

He said a truck heading north<br />

had to do “the big swerve thing”<br />

“There were cars and trucks<br />

that could have been hit,” he<br />

said.<br />

Mr Nash has been released<br />

from Christchurch Hospital.<br />

It was the second serious incident<br />

on Christchurch roads on<br />

Wednesday.<br />

A cyclist collided with a truck<br />

in the central city, suffering serious<br />

injuries.<br />

The cyclist was riding south<br />

on Manchester St when he was<br />

hit at the intersection of Armagh<br />

St and dragged underneath the<br />

small truck.<br />

A witness to the cyclist<br />

incident, who did not want<br />

to be named, said while she had<br />

her back to the crash it sounded<br />

“terrible”.<br />

“I didn’t see the crash but I<br />

heard it happen. When I looked<br />

around there were people<br />

standing around the man under<br />

the truck,” she said.<br />

Lincoln resident to<br />

play key role in show<br />

A Lincoln resident will be playing a key role in a<br />

National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art<br />

show running this month.<br />

Third-year NASDA student Dearna Doglione<br />

will be playing a key role in their next show The<br />

Collective by feminist New Zealander playwright<br />

Jean Betts.<br />

The Collective uncovers German poet, playwright<br />

and theatre director Bertolt Brecht’s past and how<br />

he became highly respected in the theatrical world.<br />

Doglione’s role in the show is to play one of the<br />

women credited to significantly contributing to<br />

Brecht’s theatrical work.<br />

“Basically, he used intelligent women’s yearning<br />

to work together for “the cause” for his own desires;<br />

he seduced them into writing plays for him,”<br />

Doglione said.<br />

She said everyone who has studied acting has<br />

heard of the great Brechtian methods but the story<br />

will be uncovering the women behind his most<br />

famous works.<br />

The show will be directed by free-lance director<br />

Mel Luckman.<br />

“You don’t need to know anything about Brecht<br />

. . . it’s not a history lesson, it is not a history lesson,<br />

it is not a lecture but is very entertaining,” she said.<br />

The Collective will be performed at the NASDA<br />

Theatre based at the Ara Institute of Canterbury city<br />

campus on Madras St.<br />

The show will be running from <strong>May</strong> 13-19,<br />

7.30pm. Tickets are $18, ($12 concession). To book<br />

Skate parks start to roll<br />

CAITLIN MILES<br />

Leeston and Darfield skate<br />

parks are in the process of being<br />

upgraded.<br />

Following planning and<br />

public consultation by the<br />

district council, construction is<br />

under way at Leeston and once<br />

upgrades are finished there work<br />

will start in Darfield.<br />

Upgrades at Leeston skate<br />

park started in April and include<br />

additional rails, ramps and more<br />

seating. Darfield plans show a<br />

new shelter, rails, half pipe and<br />

beginner half pipe.<br />

The public consultation allowed<br />

for young people to get<br />

involved and have their say on<br />

what they wanted to see in the<br />

upgrades.<br />

“It was great to have young<br />

people want to be involved in<br />

the process, especially since<br />

they are the ones who will be<br />

using it,” district councillor Sam<br />

Broughton (right) said.<br />

Some mothers also added<br />

their input into what safety<br />

measures were in place for the<br />

children.<br />

“Mothers wanted to make sure<br />

children of all ages could use<br />

the park and that there would be<br />

enough space for everyone to<br />

use it,” district councillor Sam<br />

Broughton said.<br />

Kieran Lynch is happy to see<br />

the Leeston<br />

skate park is<br />

going through<br />

upgrades and<br />

he is looking<br />

forward to<br />

seeing them<br />

completed.<br />

“It’s gonna<br />

be really cool.<br />

I like the way the quarter pipe is<br />

included,” he said.<br />

The extensions have been in<br />

the planning process for some<br />

time, Cr Broughton said it’s nice<br />

to see that after several months<br />

of planning and approving funding<br />

the work is being carried<br />

out.<br />

“It’s good to have the facilities<br />

already in place and to be<br />

able to upgrade them for our<br />

families and young people to<br />

use.”<br />

EXTENSION:<br />

Leeston park<br />

upgrades<br />

include more<br />

ramps, rails<br />

and open<br />

spaces to<br />

encourage all<br />

confidence<br />

levels. Work<br />

on the<br />

Darfield skate<br />

park (below)<br />

is expected to<br />

start soon.<br />

Upgrades are being carried<br />

out by Hunter Civil and<br />

work on Leeston Skate Park is<br />

expected to be completed in the<br />

next month.<br />

Once these upgrades are<br />

completed work will start in<br />

Darfield with additional landscaping<br />

also taking place.<br />

WATER ARTICLE CORRECTION<br />

In last week’s <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

(Anger over water management<br />

research, page 7) a number<br />

of comments were attributed<br />

to district councillor Pat<br />

McEvedy in regards to the<br />

academic research that criticised<br />

Environment Canterbury’s<br />

water management process.<br />

Cr McEvedy did not make the<br />

comments. He was misquoted<br />

in the article. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

apologises to Cr McEvedy for<br />

the errors. The article also said<br />

Cawthron Institute research<br />

showed the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora<br />

Zone Committee was divided<br />

along interest group lines. This<br />

was incorrect. It should have<br />

read that those who had engaged<br />

with the zone committee were<br />

divided largely along interest<br />

group lines.<br />

COMMITTEE MEMBER SOUGHT<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Zone<br />

Committee are seeking a<br />

replacement member after<br />

city councillor Tim Scandrett<br />

indicated he wanted to step<br />

down. He said it would be<br />

preferable if an elected member<br />

who lives in the area would<br />

take on the role. Cr Scandrett<br />

said the meetings often clash<br />

with his Spreydon-Heathcote<br />

Community Board meetings and<br />

other commitments making it<br />

difficult to keep up to date with<br />

the committee.

EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN<br />

Callie and Nic Christie got<br />

married on April Fools’ Day.<br />

The couple, in their 40s,<br />

had just one month to plan the<br />

wedding but it turned out to be<br />

“such a wonderful day,” Mrs<br />

Christie said.<br />

“It was a little bit of a rush,<br />

but we got it organised with<br />

help from family and friends.<br />

We didn’t get too tied up in the<br />

details, I just let the dressmaker<br />

do her thing, and same with the<br />

florist and the cake maker. They<br />

know what they’re doing.”<br />

The couple are part of a rise<br />

in weddings and civil unions in<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Latest data from Statistics NZ<br />

shows that while marriages and<br />

civil unions went down in New<br />

Zealand last year, Cantabrians<br />

bucked the trend with a rise in<br />

couples tying the knot.<br />

New Zealand residents registered<br />

19,947 marriages and civil<br />

unions last year, down slightly<br />

from 20,175 from 2014, but<br />

more than the 19,425 registered<br />

in 2013.<br />

Canterbury residents celebrated<br />

2655 marriages and civil<br />

unions last year, up from 2589<br />

in 2014. The statistics are based<br />

on where couples live – not<br />

where they were married.<br />

Celebrant Julie Lassen, who<br />

married Callie, 42, and Nic, 43,<br />

said she had “definitely” noticed<br />

a rise in bookings.<br />

“There’s been a steady increase<br />

over the past few years<br />

and it has definitely been a<br />

busy season. We’ve got a lot of<br />

second-time-around marriages<br />

as well.”<br />

Mr Christie had previously<br />

been married, and has two children,<br />

Bella, 14, and Jackson, 12.<br />

Mr and Mrs Christie met just<br />

over four years ago, set up on a<br />

blind date. A month later they’d<br />

Callie and<br />

Nic on their<br />

wedding day<br />

moved in together, and a year<br />

later they booked the wedding<br />

venue – Cossars Wineshed at<br />

Tai Tapu – Mrs Christie said.<br />

“We just got serious really<br />

quickly. We booked the<br />

venue three years ago, because<br />

I wanted to do my girl thing<br />

and lose a bit of weight first. We<br />

actually forgot we’d booked it<br />

though, until a month before,”<br />

[laughing].<br />

When she realised the date<br />

was set, they went into fullwedding<br />

mode and pulled off<br />

the big day just a month later.<br />

“We honestly just had the best<br />

day,” she said.<br />

Planting and nurturing native forest<br />

Rolleston Christian School pupils started a native plant forest at their school and last week they added 150<br />

more to the collection. The whole school got involved with many of the younger pupils getting help and<br />

learning from the older ones. The children learnt gardening skills and how to interact with the other year<br />

groups.<br />

GOOD EFFORT:<br />

for her age group.<br />

PLANTING: With the help from<br />

teachers, pupils planted 150 plants in<br />

their native forest.<br />

LEARNING: The pupils<br />

learnt how to plant and<br />

how to look after the 350<br />

existing plants.<br />

“I live and paint in a beautiful<br />

rural Bay on Banks Peninsula,<br />

surrounded by the ruggedness of<br />

the landscape and the constant<br />

and ever changing rhythm of the<br />

sea.<br />

Change is constant, something you<br />

can either embrace or ignore. Either<br />

way, change challenges us all.<br />

This exhibition is entitled ‘Tipping<br />

Point’, inspired by that point of<br />

change that drives us all, to try<br />

new things and to let others go, to<br />

change the way we think and act.<br />

My paintings express this<br />

excitement, the doubt and<br />

apprehension that change forces<br />

on us all, urging me to try new<br />

things and to let others go.<br />

In ‘Mad as a March Hare’, we have<br />

a lady suspended, her thoughts in<br />

the cloud, searching to find where<br />

her next step in life in will take her,<br />

while below normality exists.<br />

For the Hare, March means<br />

madness, no fear, a month of<br />

change and a new era begins and<br />

the excitement of the unknown.<br />

Like the Hare, when I am in ‘My<br />

Zone’ as an artist in my studio in<br />

Port Levy, my imagination takes me<br />

to places unknown, experiences<br />

and thoughts unheard of, and it<br />

is through my paintings that I can<br />

truly express these feelings.<br />

Where they will lead me is unknown,<br />

but just like the Hare, that is what<br />

inspires me.”<br />

Jacqui is an artist of figurative<br />

subjects with life and energy. Jacqui<br />

lives and paints on an isolated farm<br />

in Port Levy, Banks Peninsula with<br />

her husband and daughter Phoebe.<br />

While Jacqui’s subject matter is<br />

invariably the human form, it is<br />

secondary to her exploring form,<br />

structure, movement, colour and<br />

texture. In her recent body of work,<br />

there is a translucent feel which<br />

gives the paintings a whole new<br />

interest.<br />

She has been painting and<br />

exhibiting for a long time. Jacqui<br />

Melanie Smith replies to<br />

last week’s column All dogs<br />

are born good.<br />

In response to “dogs need<br />

socialisation” and its subject<br />

of dog attacks your writer<br />

makes amongst other<br />

statements “Pit bulls are<br />

not born dangerous, I can<br />

guarantee you that”, in fact<br />

she can do no such thing!<br />

It is not possible to<br />

guarantee anything about<br />

any creature which has a<br />

mind of its own and thinks<br />

independently. Even if the<br />

animal is generally good<br />

natured, illness, fear or mood<br />

can change that .<br />

Also stated is the fact that<br />

pit bulls are used for dog<br />

fighting .That’s dog against<br />

dog which is not the case with<br />

the other breeds mentioned .<br />

Jack russells were bred<br />

to hunt foxes as were fox<br />

terriers. Dachshunds hunted<br />

badgers, rabbits and foxes and<br />

chihuahuas, small game and<br />

vermin. They were not bred<br />

to kill each other.<br />

Not enough is done to<br />

remove roaming dogs from<br />

our streets regardless of<br />

breed. They are a nuisance<br />

and an accident waiting to<br />

happen.<br />

Key bridges<br />

in line for<br />

upgrades<br />

TOM DOUDNEY<br />

Many of Canterbury’s ageing<br />

bridges will need to be upgraded<br />

over the next 30 years with the<br />

impact of heavy vehicles a major<br />

contributing factor.<br />

A proposed update to a section of<br />

the Regional Land Transport Plan<br />

states that “key bridges on the strategic<br />

road network are a particular<br />

concern with regard to increased<br />

truck numbers and weights.”<br />

According to analysis completed<br />

as part of the South Island Freight<br />

Plan, overall freight activity in<br />

Canterbury is forecast to increase<br />

by 85 per cent by 2042 with most<br />

growth occurring by 2027.<br />

The use of ‘high productivity<br />

motor vehicles’ which can carry<br />

more freight has minimised the<br />

increase in truck trips needed<br />

to carry the increasing freight<br />

volumes.<br />

However, increasing heavy vehicle<br />

numbers over time on the road<br />

network were “an inevitability” it<br />

was stated in the plan.<br />

The New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency has installed equipment<br />

underneath the road at the Rakaia<br />

and Waipara bridges on State<br />

Highway 1 in recent years, to<br />

monitor the impact of heavy<br />

vehicles and catch truck drivers<br />

flouting weight limits.<br />

Prolonged toxic algae bloom in<br />

Steve Lowndes,<br />

Banks<br />

Peninsula Zone<br />

Committee<br />

chairman, gives<br />

his view on<br />

Lake Forsyth<br />

The health of Lake Forsyth<br />

or Te Roto o Wairewa is near<br />

and dear to me. I have lived at<br />

Birdlings Flat (Poranui) for the<br />

last 15 years and my home looks<br />

out to the lake. My attachment<br />

to the lake is strong. I love her<br />

different moods and interplay<br />

with the surrounding hills, sea<br />

and sky.<br />

It saddens me that the lake is<br />

sick. This summer we have had<br />

one of the most prolonged toxic<br />

algae blooms for years.<br />

We cannot blame intensive<br />

dairying, large scale irrigation or<br />

industrial discharges as there are<br />

none in the catchment. Unfortunately,<br />

much of the blame lies<br />

with early timber millers who<br />

logged the catchment to provide<br />

timber to build Christchurch<br />

and in the process released large<br />

quantities of phosphorous-rich<br />

sediment that ended up in the<br />

lake. Phosphorus is a natural<br />

element of the volcanic soils of<br />

Banks Peninsula.<br />

Toxic algae blooms are not<br />

new. The first recorded bloom<br />

was in the late 1800s when a<br />

rowing regatta was cancelled<br />

because of algae in the lake.<br />

The sediment that came down<br />

the catchment in the 1860s is<br />

still in the lake. The rate of accumulation<br />

has decreased as the<br />

hill healed over the years but<br />

still large amounts of sediment<br />

come into the lake during flood<br />

events.<br />

It is phosphorous that feeds<br />

the annual toxic algae blooms<br />

and unfortunately phosphorous<br />

is recycled each year through the<br />

algae back into the sediment on<br />

the lake floor then back through<br />

next year’s algae bloom. We<br />

could still be recycling phosphorous<br />

from 1860s.<br />

Why is it so bad this year?<br />

Well we don’t really know as<br />

in spite of all the research that<br />

has been undertaken over the<br />

years we still don’t understand<br />

the interplay between a number<br />

of factors. We know phosphorus<br />

is a limiting factor but don’t<br />

know the role of oxygen, nitrate,<br />

ammonia levels, salt concentrations,<br />

temperature or plankton<br />

grazers and micronutrients.<br />

We think this year’s algae<br />

bloom may be related to low<br />

lake levels. The low rainfall<br />

during 2015 winter meant that<br />

the level of the lake as it entered<br />

the summer period was lower<br />

than it has been for the last four<br />

to five years. We also think the<br />

input of phosphorous laden<br />

sediment during the three major<br />

floods in the autumn of 2014<br />

may have something to do with<br />

it.<br />

What is being done?<br />

The Wairewa rūnanga has led<br />

much of the recent work to clean<br />

up the lake and has a goal to<br />

food (mahinga kai). The rūnanga<br />

has led various research and<br />

feasibility studies with Landcare<br />

Research, Lincoln and Canterbury<br />

University and NIWA.<br />

The rūnanga has also been<br />

working with Christchurch City<br />

Council to trial a new lake opening.<br />

This new opening provides<br />

greater control on when and how<br />

long the lake stays open to the<br />

sea and therefore greater control<br />

on the lake level. This month a<br />

joint consent to continue to use<br />

the pilot opening was granted<br />

to the rūnanga and the Christchurch<br />

City Council for a period<br />

of 35 years.<br />

Lake Forsyth<br />

The Banks Peninsula Zone<br />

Committee, after working with<br />

the community and technical<br />

experts, recommended in 2014<br />

that, given the current state of<br />

knowledge it was best to focus<br />

attention on reducing further<br />

sediment input into the lake<br />

and understand better how<br />

the lake works before trying<br />

to remove and dispose of 800<br />

Olympic-size swimming pools<br />

of accumulated sediment.<br />

As a consequence of these<br />

recommendations Environment<br />

Canterbury has proposed<br />

changes to the Land and Water<br />

Regional Plan which requires<br />

stricter controls on stock<br />

access to the river banks on<br />

the valley floor where most<br />

of the sediment comes from.<br />

The hearing for Plan Change<br />

6 (Wairewa) was completed a<br />

couple of weeks ago.<br />

We are hoping to see these<br />

provisions come into effect<br />

later in the year. The zone<br />

committee is also supporting<br />

the development of a sediment<br />

management work programme<br />

and plan a pilot project to<br />

help landowners manage and<br />

remediate their stream banks.<br />

ECan has also improved its<br />

monitoring of the lake so real<br />

time data on a variety of water<br />

quality parameters are collected<br />

continuously. This will<br />

give us a much better idea of<br />

how the lake conditions change<br />

throughout the year and help<br />

us to design future actions that<br />

don’t cause bigger problems<br />

than the ones we are trying to<br />

fix.<br />

The community is also working<br />

hard to improve management<br />

of the main rivers to mitigate<br />

the effects of flood events<br />

but also manage them to reduce<br />

sediment discharges. Stock are<br />

already being fenced out of the<br />

rivers and the Little River community<br />

nursery provides native<br />

plants and advice on riparian<br />

planting.<br />

There is a fine line between<br />

management of the rivers for<br />

flood mitigation and reducing<br />

sediment discharges, but I am<br />

confident everyone is aware of<br />

these dual goals and are taking<br />

both into account before taking<br />

action.<br />

Both the rūnanga and the<br />

zone committee have been<br />

thinking about the next big<br />

action to take. Both, however,<br />

are cautious about knee<br />

jerk reactions and want to<br />

ensure proposals are based on<br />

good science and will work.<br />

Currently the zone committee,<br />

with the help of ECan, are<br />

trying to determine whether a<br />

sediment retention basin would<br />

intercept sediment during<br />

flood events before it reaches<br />

the lake. Another idea is to<br />

use wetland vegetation to take<br />

up phosphorous that could be<br />

harvested and removed from<br />

the lake.<br />

What is the future?<br />

In spite of a considerable<br />

amount of energy and<br />

action from individuals and<br />

organisations alike, the lake<br />

has a mind of her own. We<br />

thought the new lake opening<br />

had made a difference and<br />

we’d seen improvements in the<br />

indicators such as the tropic<br />

level index and the presence<br />

of macrophytes in the lake last<br />

summer.<br />

But this year, in spite of our<br />

best efforts we’ve had the algae<br />

bloom.<br />

Unfortunately, there is no<br />

quick fix and no one to blame.<br />

It will take time. There will<br />

be setbacks and the effects<br />

of climate change has just<br />

made the job harder. But I am<br />

confident that with everyone<br />

doing their bit, Te Roto o<br />

Wairewa will once again be<br />

a source of food that we are<br />

proud of and enjoy.<br />

Pirates, Star Trek actors<br />

come to Canterbury<br />

EMMA-JANE MCLENNAN<br />

A multi-million dollar movie is<br />

set to be filmed in Canterbury<br />

– bringing international stars<br />

and foreign investment, and<br />

showcasing some of our iconic<br />

scenery.<br />

The brainchild of Canterburyborn,<br />

British-residing Emily<br />

Corcoran (actress, writer and<br />

producer for Sisterhood and<br />

actress, Confine, among others),<br />

the movie filming has overcome<br />

setbacks from the earthquakes<br />

to start filming in the next few<br />

weeks.<br />

Ms Corcoran tried to get the<br />

adventure colonial western, The<br />

Stolen, off the ground twice –<br />

but was twice hampered by the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

“We were trying to get foreign<br />

investment, so even after that,<br />

we had to secure two highprofile<br />

actors and a director.<br />

We did do that and now we’re<br />

looking to start filming.”<br />

Starring Alice Eve (known for<br />

playing Carol Marcus in Star<br />

Trek Into Darkness) and Jack<br />

Davenport (James Norrington<br />

in the Pirates of the Caribbean<br />

series, Lancelot in Kingsman),<br />

the movie will be directed by<br />

Niall Johnson (White Noise,<br />

Keeping Mum).<br />

Ms Corcoran wrote the<br />

storyline eight years ago. Now<br />

that it’s finally coming to<br />

fruition, she says it’s a “dream<br />

come true.”<br />

Alice Eve<br />

Investors from Germany<br />

and the United Kingdom have<br />

secured the film a $4 million<br />

budget.<br />

Crew are currently setting up<br />

their base at Ferrymead Heritage<br />

Park, with other on-set locations<br />

all around the region, Ms<br />

Corcoran said.<br />

“We’re actually shooting<br />

entirely in Canterbury, and<br />

we believe we’ve found some<br />

beautiful places. We’ve based<br />

ourselves at Ferrymead, where<br />

we’ve built some indoor sets<br />

and we’ll be using the steam<br />

train, but we’ve also got facades<br />

of sets at Mt Vernon and Little<br />

River, and a private homestead<br />

in Rangiora.”<br />

The film is set during the gold<br />

rush of 1860. It is based on a<br />

young woman and her wealthy<br />

husband, who come out to New<br />

Zealand from England, Ms<br />

Corcoran said.<br />

Pop Up Cafe after<br />

new manager<br />

The youngest ever competitor<br />

in the Young Vegetable Growers<br />

competition was a Lincoln<br />

resident, who took second place.<br />

Lincoln Roper, 16, was the<br />

youngest person to<br />

ever compete in the<br />

<strong>10</strong> year history of the<br />

agricultural competition.<br />

The event was<br />

held at Riccarton<br />

Racecourse in<br />

Christchurch and had<br />

competitors from<br />

around the country compete in<br />

the mix of theoretical and practical<br />

challenges.<br />

National competition manager<br />

Kirsty de Jong said the competition<br />

showcases the industry’s<br />

top young talent.<br />

Lincoln said he felt a bit like<br />

the underdog, since he was the<br />

Zealand president<br />

Julian Raine.<br />

Lincoln’s Lincoln is a<br />

young vege grower<br />

youngest, but he was happy to<br />

represent Canterbury.<br />

“The other guys had degrees<br />

and stuff, I’m still in high school<br />

so it was quite a shock that I<br />

came second,” he<br />

said.<br />

Lincoln is currently<br />

a year 12 student at<br />

Lincoln High School<br />

where he studies horticulture,<br />

biology and<br />

agriculture. He also<br />

helps out at the family<br />

crop farm Roper<br />

and Sons which has helped him<br />

a lot in the competition.<br />

He’s been helping his parents<br />

on the farm since he was seven,<br />

where he has learnt many skills<br />

which came in handy like how<br />

to drive a tractor, cultivate and<br />

harvest crops and drilling and<br />

packing.<br />

CAITLIN MILES<br />

The district’s mobile Pop Up<br />

Cafe is looking for a young<br />

person to manage it.<br />

Darfield High School’s Emily<br />

de Rooy has been the face<br />

behind the cafe, a <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth<br />

Council initiative, for the past<br />

year.<br />

But school commitments<br />

mean the 17-year-old needs to<br />

concentrate her energies elsewhere.<br />

Emily has been managing and<br />

working in the cafe, but also has<br />

the Stage Challenge and this is<br />

her last year of school. She is<br />

also on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council,<br />

which operates the cafe.<br />

The cafe was started two<br />

years ago. It is organised and<br />

operated by students and aims<br />

to get young people in the community<br />

involved in business and<br />

learn useful skills.<br />

“It’s been a real learning<br />

experience, helping train people<br />

and setting up rosters and getting<br />

to learn more about business,”<br />

she said.<br />

The mobile cafe is at community<br />

events, outside of schools<br />

and at sports games.<br />

“It’s been a great way to be in<br />

the community and let people<br />

know about the youth council,<br />

and what we do,” she said.<br />

All profits made from the cafe<br />

go to the youth council, which<br />

then administers the money to<br />

people and organisations around<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

“We help wherever we can,<br />

we get to help people reach<br />

TEAM: Harrison<br />

Harris. Below:<br />

coffee making.<br />

their goals. There was one<br />

person who got into a really<br />

good sports team but couldn’t<br />

afford the uniform, so the youth<br />

council was able to help them<br />

out and provide funding.”<br />

Emily is now focused on<br />

getting more young people<br />

involved in the cafe and other<br />

youth events around <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

“We want to include lots<br />

of young people, it’s a great<br />

chance to engage with the community<br />

and learn some skills,”<br />

she said.<br />

Emily is looking for someone<br />

else to take her role when the<br />

year is over and give them the<br />

chance to learn as much as she<br />

has.<br />

The Pop Up Cafe now has a<br />

spot at Foster Park in Rolleston<br />

every Saturday morning.<br />

Having the best to<br />

ensure great service<br />

When you need to rely on your outboard motor to get you home after<br />

a great day’s fishing or boating, it is essential to have had it serviced by<br />

the best people available in the business.<br />

The team at Butler Marine has been servicing outboard motors in<br />

their current business since 1987, and, even before that, boating and<br />

motors were in their blood.<br />

Owner John Butler says, “We have a hands-on approach to most<br />

problems our customer can have. If we cannot fix it we will arrange<br />

to have it fixed.”<br />

Butler Marine will service Suzuki, Yamaha, Mercury, Parsun, Mariner,<br />

Johnson, Evinrude, Honda and Tohatsu outboard motors.<br />

“We carry a wide range of parts, and what we don’t have we can<br />

generally get overnight. We also have access to a range of second<br />

hand parts to help keep costs down,” John says. “We are agents for<br />

Suzuki outboard motors, the world’s best four stroke motor, and<br />

Parsun two and four stroke outboard motors.”<br />

He adds that now is the ideal time to get your boat serviced with<br />

Butler Marine currently offering a winter service special.<br />

John lives in Prebbleton and provides a drop-off, pick-up service from<br />

the village, saving <strong>Selwyn</strong> District residents the long drive across<br />

town. Contact Butler Marine for details.<br />

“Our friendly, accommodating staff are more than happy to assist you<br />

with all your everyday boating needs, and you’re welcome to come in<br />

and see Dave, Brett, Sandy or myself.”<br />

Whether you are servicing or replacing your existing boat, thinking of<br />

buying your first one, or looking to customise the boat you have, talk<br />

to the people at Butler Marine.<br />

For Dominic that involves<br />

getting into a US college on<br />

college scouts attending the<br />

championships he hopes to<br />

impress them.<br />

“I want to get a scholarship<br />

so there’s a bit of pressure to<br />

stand out at the tournament.”<br />

a golf tournament in June.<br />

“It’s very generous of the<br />

my parents, I wouldn’t be here<br />

Have your say on<br />

Malvern and Ellesmere’s<br />

future development<br />

Help us plan for community<br />

spaces in Eastern <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are being invited to take part in a survey to help<br />

identify Eastern <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s current and future community space<br />

needs as this area grows.<br />

The survey will be used to help develop a Community Spaces<br />

Plan for Eastern <strong>Selwyn</strong> which is expected to be released for<br />

consultation this spring. The survey asks people how they currently<br />

use community spaces and what activities they would like to do<br />

locally but don’t currently. Community spaces are areas available<br />

for community use and include libraries, community centres, halls,<br />

meeting rooms, parks, church grounds, and can include commercial<br />

spaces such as cafes and markets if they are used for community<br />

activities. Eastern <strong>Selwyn</strong> extends from Rolleston to West Melton in<br />

the north, Prebbleton and Lincoln to the east and Springston in the<br />

south. People living outside of Eastern <strong>Selwyn</strong> who use community<br />

spaces in this area can also complete the survey.<br />

The survey is open until 27 <strong>May</strong> and can be completed at<br />

www.selwyn.govt.nz/haveyoursay. Everyone who completes the<br />

survey will go into the draw to win a $<strong>10</strong>0 petrol voucher.<br />

We are also gathering information from people for the community<br />

spaces project at these locations this week:<br />

· On Wednesday 11 of <strong>May</strong> at Rolleston Countdown from 11.30am-<br />

1pm and Prebbleton Dairy from 2.30-4pm<br />

· On Friday 13 <strong>May</strong> from <strong>10</strong>.30am – 12noon at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre<br />

· On Saturday 14 <strong>May</strong> from Lincoln Farmers Market from 11am –<br />

12.30pm and the Warehouse Rolleston from 2-3.30pm<br />

The Council is also surveying community organisations and local<br />

facilities as part of the project.<br />

The Council<br />

is inviting<br />

submissions on<br />

draft Area Plans<br />

for Malvern and<br />

Ellesmere<br />

The Area Plans will guide the growth of townships in Ellesmere<br />

and Malvern through to 2031. They include options for where<br />

residential and business development could occur, if needed,<br />

and future projects that may be needed in different townships.<br />

Although the plan does not rezone any land, it will inform the<br />

District Plan Review, which starts this year, along with other<br />

Council plans.<br />

Some of the ideas included in the Area Plans which we would<br />

like your comments on include:<br />

· carrying out town centre studies in Leeston, Darfield, Springfield and Southbridge looking at<br />

issues like transport, beautification, accessibility to community facilities and business land in<br />

Darfield and Springfield<br />

· working with Kiwirail and the NZ Transport Agency to look at issues relating to the State<br />

Highway and railway line in Dunsandel, Sheffield and Kirwee<br />

· in Darfield looking at infill or intensification opportunities close to the town centre to provide<br />

more housing options such as housing for older people, and also the feasibility of establishing a<br />

walking/cycling link between McHughs Forest Park and the town along the rail corridor<br />

To find out more, you can pick up a copy of the draft Area Plans from Council library/service<br />

centres or read it at www.selwyn.govt.nz/areaplans. We also holding drop-in sessions where<br />

you can find out more about the plans and talk to our staff. These sessions are at:<br />

· Dunsandel Rugby Clubrooms on Wednesday 18 <strong>May</strong> at 6.30pm<br />

· Leeston Library Community Room on Sunday 22 <strong>May</strong> at 1pm<br />

· Southbridge Hall on Thursday 26 <strong>May</strong> at 6.30pm<br />

· Darfield Recreation Centre on Sunday 29 <strong>May</strong> at 1pm<br />

· Glentunnel Hall on Monday 30 <strong>May</strong> at 6.30pm<br />

· Springfield Hall on Wednesday 1 June at 6.30pm<br />

· Darfield Recreation Centre on Thursday 2 June at 6.30pm<br />

Submissions are open until 12 noon on Monday 13 June<br />

<strong>2016</strong>. You can make a submission online at<br />

www.selwyn.govt.nz/areaplans or pick up a submission<br />

form from a Council library or service centre.<br />

What arts activities would<br />

you like in <strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />

Arts and culture play an integral role in building<br />

community spirit, developing social networks<br />

and providing opportunities for enjoyment in the<br />

community.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Arts Trust and <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />

have developed a new survey to help identify how arts<br />

can be improved and developed in our district. We<br />

appreciate people taking a few minutes to complete the<br />

survey which is online at www.selwynartstrust.org.nz<br />

On the roads this week<br />

Road repairs are planned along Dalethorpe, Wards, Hills and<br />

Beethams Roads, with traffic controls in place during works. Bridge<br />

maintenance work will take place on Waimakariri Gorge Bridge and<br />

Cordys Road Bridge, with traffic controls in place.<br />

Road closures – Jones, Courtenay and Malvern Hills Roads<br />

Jones Road will be closed between Weedons Ross and Hoskyns<br />

Roads to allow Fulton Hogan to complete the final stage of work<br />

for a new rail siding for MidlandPort (owned by Lyttleton Port<br />

Company). The road closure is from 9am Saturday 14 <strong>May</strong> until<br />

6am Monday 16 <strong>May</strong>. A detour will operate via Weedons Ross,<br />

Maddisons and Hoskyns Roads during the closure. Drivers are<br />

encouraged to use this detour for safety reasons and should expect<br />

a short increase in travel times.<br />

The railway crossing on Courtenay Road in Kirwee (near the<br />

intersection with State Highway 73) will also be closed from 7am<br />

Sunday 22 <strong>May</strong> until 7am Monday 23 <strong>May</strong>. The closure has been<br />

requested by Kiwirail so they can repair sleepers under the crossing.<br />

A detour will operate via Miles Road through either Highfield Road<br />

or Ansons Road to connect to Kirwee on State Highway 73. Tara<br />

Bridge (south west of Bush Gully Road) on Malvern Hills Road will<br />

Total fire ban now in place<br />

A prohibited fire season is now in place in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, effective from<br />

8am Monday 9 <strong>May</strong>.<br />

This means that no outdoor fires or crop stubble fires can be lit in<br />

the district. Fires are also not permitted in Council reserves, and no<br />

fireworks, bonfires or pizza ovens are allowed. Fire permits previously<br />

issued by the Council are cancelled. Gas barbeques with a high<br />

pressure water source at hand are allowed but not charcoal barbeques.<br />

Fire restrictions have been reintroduced as low rainfall has resulted<br />

in vegetation in <strong>Selwyn</strong> becoming very dry which when combined<br />

with very dry soil means that fires can start easily and quickly get<br />

out of control. A fee of $1150 can be charged for a fire call out if a<br />

fire has been lit which breaches fire restrictions. This fee is provided<br />

to local volunteer fire forces.<br />

A PERFECT FIT!<br />

A purpose-designed plan to suit your lifestyle - for LESS than a standard plan!<br />

The management team of Onyx Homes are quite simply some of the best and most experienced people<br />

in the industry. It’s through this experience that Onyx Homes wants to bring to their customers a better<br />

standard of home that is often less than the standard-plan-built homes of their competitors. Onyx believe<br />

that everyone is unique, so why settle for a standard-plan-home when you can have a purpose-designed<br />

plan to suit exactly your lifestyle and for less than a standard plan? A perfect fit!<br />

This is testament to our customers who have been amazed at the savings with Onyx, but also hadn’t realised<br />

their budget would allow for a such quality spec and design.<br />

This show home uses products never seen before<br />

with massive points of difference.<br />

thrower from Lincoln University<br />

will compete in Poland.<br />

Lauren Bruce, 19, is heading<br />

to Bydgoszcz to take part in the<br />

World Under-20 Athletic Championships.<br />

Bruce bettered the international<br />

qualifying distance at the nationals<br />

and recent Australian championships<br />

and will now represent<br />

New Zealand as she competes<br />

against others from around the<br />

world.<br />

She took up hammer throwing<br />

five years ago and her 58m throw<br />

has her ranked as the second nationally<br />

and to throw that far she<br />

practices up to five times a week.<br />

Bruce juggles practice with<br />

studying full time for a Bachelor<br />

of Science, majoring in food science.<br />

Getting into the team has been<br />

a goal for several years and is<br />

looking forward to competing.<br />

“It is a privilege to be able to<br />

have the opportunity to represent<br />

New Zealand on the world stage<br />

and I am looking forward to the<br />

experience and the challenges it<br />

will bring,” she said.<br />

Bruce is heading over to Poland<br />

on a month long trip in July<br />

to compete and hopes to bring<br />

home a gold. She has set her<br />

sights on competing in the 2020<br />

Olympics in Tokyo.<br />

Many people ask about who can see a<br />

chiropractor? My answer is always –<br />

anyone of any age.<br />

From babies following delivery to older<br />

people who are suffering from pain or<br />

discomfort, chiropractic care can alleviate<br />

stress within the body and ensure you are<br />

functioning at your optimum ability.<br />

Since starting work as a chiropractor<br />

more than 15 years ago, after studying<br />

in New Zealand to become a Doctor of<br />

Chiropractic, I have treated people of all<br />

ages with a broad range of symptoms with<br />

outstanding results.<br />

Southern<br />

CHIROPRACTIC<br />

290 HALSWELL ROAD<br />

There are a variety of reasons people come<br />

to see me including the following:<br />

Suffering discomfort or pain<br />

These symptoms are signs of dysfunction<br />

in your body. This is an important time to<br />

remove nerve interference and irritation to<br />

ensure your spine functions optimally and<br />

symptoms are alleviated.<br />

Accident or trauma<br />

Car or bike accidents and falls can cause<br />

severe spinal stress and subluxations If not<br />

attended to these can cause or contribute<br />

to health problems later in life.<br />

Active exercise/sport<br />

Chiropractic care gives you an<br />

edge. Many professional athletes<br />

and sportspeople seek regular<br />

chiropractic care to ensure they<br />

are working at their optimum.<br />

290 Halswell Road<br />

Chiropractic care suitable for all ages<br />

require care following delivery. Caring for a<br />

baby or infant can contribute to neck and/or<br />

back pain ie: position of mother during breast<br />

feeding and bending to pick up baby.<br />

I provide physical solutions including<br />

adjustments, stretches, exercises, and<br />

muscle therapy – to readjust the body or help<br />

it heal from conditions that are physical in<br />

origin. These can include problems such as<br />

back pain, muscle spasms, headaches and<br />

poor posture.<br />

What you may not know is that it is also<br />

completely appropriate to receive chiropractic<br />

care even though you may not have<br />

symptoms. Unlike standard medical doctors<br />

who you visit when you have symptoms<br />

that need to be treated, chiropractors offer<br />

adjustments to improve spinal alignment and<br />

overall wellbeing – and can prevent the pain or<br />

other symptoms even starting.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Pregnancy/Childbirth<br />

Infant caring<br />

TThe hormonal and physical<br />

changes in pregnancy create<br />

spinal stress. The birth process<br />

can be traumatic for both<br />

Grow beetroot in garden or pots<br />

TOD PALENSKI<br />

I’ve always thought beetroot<br />

to be an interesting vegetable.<br />

It’s incredibly versatile<br />

in the kitchen. The root can<br />

be grated raw into a salad,<br />

roasted with winter vege,<br />

made into a chocolate cake<br />

and more, and the leaves can<br />

be used in the same way you<br />

would use spinach.<br />

It’s also incredibly good for<br />

you. It’s a good source of folic<br />

acid, fibre, manganese and potassium<br />

and the greens are rich<br />

in calcium, iron and vitamins<br />

A and C.<br />

There are two main types of<br />

beetroot. The regular round<br />

kind and the less known<br />

cylindra variety which, as it’s<br />

name suggests, is a cylindrical<br />

beetroot. Because of it’s shape<br />

cylindra beetroot is great for<br />

slicing and then bottling.<br />

Next it’s simply a matter of<br />

working out where to plant<br />

your seedlings. Beetroot likes<br />

well-drained, friable (breaks<br />

apart in your hands) soil.<br />

It grows well next to<br />

brassicas, like broccoli and<br />

cauliflower, which take longer<br />

to mature and spread out. This<br />

means you can plant beetroot<br />

in the spaces in between your<br />

brassicas, and harvest them<br />

RICH IN NUTRIENTS: Cylindra (above) or the more rounded variety<br />

are both healthy vegetables.<br />

before the brassicas start needing<br />

the extra room.<br />

Alternatively, it grows great<br />

in pots. Wherever you plant,<br />

simply dig a little 3cm deep<br />

hole, place the seedling in the<br />

hole and fill in with soil.<br />

Beetroot likes moisture as it<br />

starts to develop so keep your<br />

plants well watered.<br />

In around <strong>10</strong> to 12 weeks<br />

it should be ready. The great<br />

thing about beetroot is it can<br />

be eaten at any size, just dig it<br />

up and enjoy.<br />

It’s easy to grow peas<br />

VERSATILE: Plant plenty of peas. Whatever you don’t enjoy fresh can be<br />

frozen.<br />

Rachel Vogan goes<br />

green with envy<br />

over peas<br />

These tiny morsels of goodness<br />

are an easy crop grow at home,<br />

the office or at school. If left to<br />

my own devices I could easily fill<br />

half the magazine with growing<br />

tips, virtues, anecdotes, facts,<br />

funnies and figures about peas.<br />

However, I don’t really want<br />

to bore you to tears and put you<br />

off peas for life. If you have<br />

never tried growing your own<br />

peas, you must give them a go. In<br />

spite of looking so delicate, pea<br />

plants are surprisingly hardy.<br />

Try and get peas in the ground<br />

before the end of <strong>May</strong> if you<br />

live in the colder regions, that<br />

way you can enjoy them months<br />

before Christmas.<br />

Sow successive crops once<br />

every six weeks to extend the<br />

harvest period. Allow <strong>10</strong>-15cm<br />

– about a palm width – between<br />

each plant, as they need air and<br />

light to stimulate leaf growth.<br />

Ensure the area gets plenty of<br />

sun. All peas enjoy a rich soil that<br />

holds onto moisture, which isn’t<br />

normally a problem over winter,<br />

unless you have sandy soils into<br />

which you will need to blend<br />

bucket-loads of compost and/or<br />

animal manure. And plant plenty!<br />

Pea shoots are tasty additions<br />

to salads and sammies, plus they<br />

are an easy microgreen and are<br />

popular eaten just at the sprout<br />

stage.<br />

For those who plant them<br />

regularly, please do me a favour<br />

and share the love and ease of<br />

growing them with a neighbour,<br />

friend or colleague and encourage<br />

them to get sowing some soon.<br />

Types to try<br />

Blue Shelling – a Dutch<br />

vintage variety that can be eaten<br />

in the pod whole when young or<br />

podded. The flowers are edible,<br />

too. One to plant for looks alone.<br />

Earlicrop Massey – a reliable<br />

dwarf variety to plant out now.<br />

It produces a hefty crop and<br />

matures early.<br />

Greenfeast – if you like big<br />

fat peas then plant this one. It<br />

definitely needs staking as plants<br />

mature well over 1m.<br />

Easy Peasy – almost too good<br />

to be true, a main crop choice<br />

that produces masses of peas in<br />

each pod.<br />

Novella – another dwarf<br />

variety. You can get away without<br />

staking this one. It produces<br />

a good sweet crop and what I<br />

especially like how the pods<br />

are all on the top of the bush,<br />

which makes them super easy to<br />

pick.<br />

Snow pea Kennedy Dwarf<br />

– this is a popular cultivar from<br />

Kings Seeds. Only reaching knee<br />

height it has a high yield and<br />

copes with cooler conditions.<br />

Sugar snaps – these sweet<br />

juicy peas can be eaten pod and<br />

all, or, if they are left a bit longer,<br />

fat peas will form in the shell and<br />

these can be used in the normal<br />

way.<br />

Wando Select – a super-sweet<br />

heirloom shelling pea variety<br />

that produces a good number of<br />

peas in each pod. Sow either in<br />

autumn or spring.<br />

What’s a pean?<br />

These are not actually peas,<br />

but a hybrid of the runner bean,<br />

with the distinctive flavour of<br />

fresh peas. They are usually only<br />

available in limited numbers<br />

from mail-order catalogues or<br />

heirloom stockists, sought after<br />

as they produce a prolific crop,<br />

and pods and all can be eaten.<br />

Support as you would runner<br />

beans – these vines are rampant.<br />

Seed is best sown in spring.<br />

TREATING<br />

Grass<br />

Grub<br />

GraSS Grub can be a pain!<br />

The recommended treatment for grass<br />

grub is to use a soil insecticide such<br />

as Lawn Guard. There are several in<br />

the garden centres available, usually<br />

containing the same active ingredient,<br />

but with their own brand name.<br />

Ask the local garden centre for their<br />

recommendation, and then FOLLOW<br />

THE INSTRUCTIONS very carefully! Now<br />

is a great time to treat grass grub while<br />

the weather is still warm. It is a good<br />

idea to treat the whole lawn, then give<br />

it a sprinkle of fertiliser afterwards.<br />

Intelligro’s Lawn Fertiliser is excellent for<br />

creating a lush lawn. Come down and<br />

grab a bag, even if you aren’t treating<br />

for grass grub, if your lawn needs a<br />

boost, get in and fertilise it now.<br />

Seeds<br />

Peas are super easy and<br />

quick to grow from seed and,<br />

at this time of year, plants<br />

are not in the shops, so you<br />

don’t have much choice. Most<br />

people tend to plant them out<br />

in spring, however, they are a<br />

good crop<br />

for those who want to keep<br />

growing food over winter.<br />

Pre-soaking pea seed speeds<br />

up germination. Soak them in<br />

water over night to soften the<br />

seed coat, making it easier for<br />

the first roots and shoots to<br />

break out. Encourage kids to<br />

plant them – the seeds are nice<br />

and big, and easy to handle.<br />

Save your own pea seeds,<br />

they store well and germinate<br />

easily. Make sure they fully<br />

mature on the plants in the<br />

pods before you pick them,<br />

as the seeds need to be hard<br />

before you harvest them.<br />

Slimeballs and<br />

feathered foes<br />

Slugs and snails just love<br />

the soft shoots of peas, so arm<br />

yourself with plenty of bait or<br />

lay grit or eggshells around<br />

the plants to deter these pests.<br />

Neither of them like crawling<br />

over sharp surfaces.<br />

Birds, especially sparrows,<br />

find pea shoots and seeds<br />

rather tasty. Drape some<br />

netting over the rows or put<br />

some twigs alongside the rows<br />

to keep them out. Once the<br />

plants are well up, the birds<br />

give them a wide berth.<br />

Support network<br />

Pea plants ideally should be<br />

kept off the ground to keep<br />

slugs and snails at bay and<br />

to ensure the best harvesting<br />

capacity. They are easy to train<br />

up frames, twigs or bamboo<br />

canes, or look to specialist<br />

frames or pieces of trellis.<br />

Other options are to grow them<br />

up through other vegetables<br />

– kale and cavolo nero offer a<br />

good robust framework – and<br />

they do the job well at this<br />

time of year.<br />

Sow new pea seed now. Get them in before the ground freezes; The Blue<br />

Shelling pea (above) looks as good as it tastes. Hailing from Holland, this<br />

one can be eaten shell and all when young; Peans (left) taste like peas, but<br />

are actually a bean; Peas are easy to train up almost anything – even other<br />

vegetables such as kale.<br />

New technology for Toyota Prado<br />

Toyota’s engine developers are<br />

in the process of rolling out new<br />

power plants which will work<br />

across a variety of vehicles and<br />

platforms.<br />

In the last year we have seen a<br />

new turbocharged four-cylinder<br />

petrol unit which is finding its<br />

way into several models out of<br />

the Lexus stable, and there’s<br />

also a new four-cylinder diesel<br />

which is powering the new<br />

Hilux.<br />

Interestingly, that engine first<br />

found its way here mid-year<br />

in the Land Cruiser Prado, it<br />

is an option alongside the V6<br />

petrol unit. The diesel unit is<br />

all-new, and while its displacement<br />

is smaller – 227cc down<br />

to 2755cc, it is stronger, more<br />

economical, and notably quieter<br />

than the previous unit.<br />

And that is important for<br />

Prado, it is still the large, comfortable<br />

sport utility which is<br />

based on mechanicals engineered<br />

to tackle the serious offroad<br />

challenge.<br />

Toyota rate the new diesel<br />

with power outputs of 130kW<br />

and 450Nm, both hefty increases<br />

on the outgoing (127kW and<br />

4<strong>10</strong>Nm), and the points at<br />

which they are realised are more<br />

accessible, very low down at<br />

3400trpm and 1600-2400rpm.<br />

The Prado also gets a new<br />

gearbox, it is a six-speed unit<br />

which is up a gear from previous<br />

generation models, the new<br />

driveline combination is a cracker,<br />

and given I’ve spent a lot of<br />

time in Hilux recently, as well<br />

as the Prado, I’ve become rather<br />

fond of the new mechanicals.<br />

However, the Prado has a different<br />

role to play than Hilux,<br />

it is one of the SUV champions<br />

in our marketplace. It is just at<br />

home dropping the kids off at<br />

school as it is it out in the backblocks.<br />

The newcomer comes well<br />

equipped if you take into<br />

account the series starts at<br />

$78,490 for the GX model as<br />

tested, ranging to $99,990 for a<br />

VX Limited. Bear in mind there<br />

is also a V6 petrol-powered<br />

model at $89,490, providing a<br />

wide-ranging choice with varying<br />

specification levels.<br />

However, the Prado is all<br />

about cross-country ability and<br />

I did squeeze in enough time to<br />

put it through a solid clay Port<br />

Hills track. There are a multitude<br />

of drive configurations<br />

on the Prado, all well tried and<br />

tested over the years. Put simply,<br />

TOYOTA PRADO: Serious off-road challenger.<br />

the Prado always drives through<br />

all four wheels.<br />

There is a high and low ratio<br />

dial which selects between the<br />

two, there’s also a centre differential<br />

lock for low grip situations<br />

and hill descent control<br />

system. The latter is my favourite,<br />

it enables a feet-off-the-pedals<br />

approach to descents.<br />

The Prado sits high off the<br />

ground at 220mm and it has<br />

tyres (215/60 x 18in), and suspension<br />

which command grip<br />

off-road. An independent wishbone<br />

front end combines well<br />

with a coil spring-located live<br />

rear axle.<br />

The test car easily accounted<br />

for a steep incline, it wasn’t a<br />

testing track, for it was dry and<br />

the surface provided plenty of<br />

bite. But I can report that over<br />

the rough stuff the in-cabin ride<br />

is plush and is totally unaffected<br />

by the jolts the suspension<br />

absorbs. Like its stablemate, the<br />

Land Cruiser proper, the Prado<br />

is an off-road champion. It also<br />

handles comparatively well<br />

on-road, it does lean a little but<br />

steerage always feels controlled,<br />

and the bulk of the vehicle<br />

doesn’t always seem apparent.<br />

While the Prado does everything<br />

well in terms of on and<br />

off-road travel, it’s the new<br />

engine which is the surprise.<br />

Overall, the Prado travels quietly<br />

but never before has it been<br />

SPECIFICATIONS<br />

Price: Toyota Prado GX,<br />

$78,490.<br />

Dimensions: Length,4760mm;<br />

width, 1885mm; height, 1890mm.<br />

Configuration: Four-cylinder,<br />

Performance: 0-<strong>10</strong>0km/h,<br />

9sec.<br />

Fuel usage:8l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />

this quiet, the engine barely<br />

makes a sound until it is well<br />

loaded.<br />

It’s that ability to do its job<br />

without effort that makes the<br />

new diesel engine so desirable,<br />

especially so with its fuel usage<br />

statistics. Toyota claims an<br />

eight-litre per <strong>10</strong>0km (35mpg)<br />

combined cycle average,<br />

although I couldn’t get close to<br />

that at <strong>10</strong>l/<strong>10</strong>0km (29mpg).<br />

I don’t know when I’ll find<br />

my way into another car (Hilux<br />

aside) with a new Toyota engine,<br />

but if the latest batch is anything<br />

to go by it should be something<br />

to look forward to.<br />

Toyota, including Lexus, is<br />

on a journey at the moment<br />

whereby the power plants are<br />

cross-pollinating through a wide<br />

product line-up. The consumer<br />

will be the ultimate winner with<br />

so much choice and so many<br />

desirable packages in terms of<br />

technology.<br />

DEALER FINANCE LIMITED<br />

Dealer Finance Limited and the Commerce Commission have entered into a settlement agreement relating to<br />

overcharged interest on loans. This resulted from Dealer Finance not crediting part repayments made by borrowers<br />

against the unpaid balance of the loan as soon as practicable, and as a consequence, overcharging interest to the<br />

borrower.<br />

If you purchased a vehicle through one of the car dealers listed below between April 2005 and April 2015, which was<br />

financed through Dealer Finance, you may be entitled to a refund of any overcharged interest, together with a 5%<br />

uplift payment.<br />

Dealer Finance has recently sent notification to all affected clients by mail. If you have not received this notification<br />

please contact Dealer Finance by email on enquiries@dfl.co.nz to find out whether you are entitled to a refund.<br />

Please include your full name, current and previous addresses, and if known, the car dealer you purchased your car<br />

through and the vehicle registration number.<br />

PLEASE NOTE - NO contact is required from you:<br />

• if you still have a current open loan(s) with Dealer Finance; or<br />

• if you have previously repaid a loan(s) with Dealer Finance (taken out between above dates) but have a current<br />

loan(s) with Dealer Finance,<br />

as we will be crediting your open loan or we have made or are in the process of making appropriate internal<br />

adjustments.<br />

A copy of the settlement agreement can be found on www.comcom.govt.nz<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

An ideal family home<br />

For those entering the new<br />

home property market and looking<br />

for a medium sized home then G<br />

J Gardner homes’ show home at<br />

rolleston is worth a look. situated in<br />

the popular Faringdon subdivision,<br />

this is a well-designed functional<br />

house.<br />

This 198 square metre show home is<br />

based on the “Maxwell” design from<br />

G J Gardner’s “Family” series of plans.<br />

While many people focus on what<br />

the exterior will look like it’s more<br />

essential to get the floor plan and<br />

layout of your home right,” says<br />

Neil Fraser, who along with his wife<br />

Joanne, own the Christchurch south<br />

G J Gardner franchise. “The layout<br />

will affect the way you live in the<br />

home and can impact on the overall<br />

cost”.<br />

The show home is fitted out using<br />

G J Gardner’s “express specification”<br />

range of products selected from some<br />

of New Zealand’s leading suppliers<br />

with no compromise on quality whilst<br />

still being cost-effective. As a result,<br />

the homes are competitively priced<br />

making them ideal for young people<br />

and first home buyers<br />

This show home is clad with brick<br />

veneer, which is currently one of<br />

the most affordable claddings that<br />

not only looks good but is also very<br />

durable. The stack bonded exterior<br />

feature wall leading to the entrance<br />

highlights one of the different<br />

variations that can be achieved with<br />

brick cladding.<br />

The design of this home is ideal for<br />

family living. on entering through<br />

the front door, there is a feeling of<br />

spaciousness with open plan living<br />

from the slightly separated lounge<br />

right through to the family living<br />

room on the other side of the kitchen/<br />

dining area. The kitchen is wellappointed,<br />

overlooking the dining<br />

and two separate living areas and also<br />

has a large pantry offering fabulous<br />

storage<br />

There is good indoor outdoor flow<br />

from the family/dining area as well as<br />

the main bedroom.<br />

The master bedroom has an ensuite<br />

and walk-in robe while the main<br />

bathroom has both bath and shower.<br />

The fourth bedroom is slightly<br />

separated from the other three<br />

making it an ideal guest room, study<br />

or extra sitting room.<br />

The separate laundry is well-sited<br />

near the double garage for dumping<br />

dirty sports or work clothes on<br />

entering the house. There is also<br />

ample storage space with the hot<br />

water cylinder cupboard conveniently<br />

located in the hall, opposite the<br />

bathroom and close to the laundry.<br />

Now ThaT The<br />

heaTiNg’s oN<br />

At the first taste of winter’s chill, we start preparing for hibernation. Adding<br />

warmth to your home, however, is not just about choosing the right heating,<br />

but also the creation of a scrumptious winter haven that invites you to<br />

hunker down with creature comforts.<br />

A home might be warm and dry, but<br />

as we transition from summer to winter<br />

there is that lack of cosiness to our homes.<br />

By following a few simple steps you can<br />

enhance and create more warmth within<br />

your home.<br />

11<br />

Roll out the Rugs<br />

hardwood floors and tiles are brilliant<br />

during the summer months, but come<br />

winter, your feet are likely to feel a little<br />

different. using large rugs in the main<br />

areas of your home will help to insulate<br />

a room and keep your feet warm. The<br />

textured look of a rug will also add a feel<br />

of cosiness to a room.<br />

Add textuRe<br />

Just as you do with winter fashion,<br />

creating warmth in your interiors is all<br />

about adding texture.<br />

In your bedroom, swap your summer<br />

duvet for a thick, plush winter one, then<br />

finish the look with layers of throws and<br />

cushions.<br />

Invest in good-quality throws. Choose<br />

a few that match the décor in your home,<br />

and then literally throw them over<br />

couches and beds. The more they look<br />

like you just dropped them on the couch<br />

or bed, the better they look – hence the<br />

name ‘throw’! There is a great range of<br />

cosy faux-fur throws on the market this<br />

winter, too.<br />

If you don’t already have one, get a<br />

footstool. If you have one, recover it in<br />

durable thick fabric – we love a good<br />

tartan print.<br />

let the lIght In<br />

When sunlight passes through the glass of<br />

your window it bounces off your walls and<br />

furniture, and gradually turns into heat.<br />

This heat will make a big difference to the<br />

temperature of your home. to make the<br />

most of it, open your blinds or curtains in<br />

the morning, and close them back up at<br />

night.<br />

lighting is important to set the scene.<br />

A few lamps dotted around living spaces<br />

will provide the relaxed, low-level lighting<br />

ideal for such areas. Add sparkle at nighttime<br />

with fairy lights, and some flickering<br />

candles for an intimate feel.<br />

Incorporating show homes in<br />

your planning process<br />

There are many things to think about when you’re<br />

considering building a new home.<br />

Browsing show homes is a fantastic<br />

way to get you thinking about practicalities,<br />

needs, aesthetics and your wish list! here<br />

are a few consideration’s to help spark your<br />

planning process.<br />

• what is your exterior style? what kind of<br />

homes do you like? Look around and take a<br />

mental note of what you are drawn to most.<br />

• what kind of exterior materials do you<br />

like? once you’ve worked out the look you<br />

like, research what materials are available<br />

and find out about durability.<br />

• how will you use your house? it’s important<br />

to most people to have a good indoor/<br />

outdoor flow and attractive, sheltered<br />

outdoor living. imagine your home in<br />

various seasons.<br />

• Landscaping is important. Look around<br />

and consider what you like and don’t like.<br />

Are you a structured formal garden type or<br />

do you like a contemporary native style?<br />

• sustainability and future-proofing aren’t<br />

just buzzwords anymore. it’s very important<br />

for your new home to be environmentally<br />

friendly. research insulation requirements,<br />

solar hot water heating, ventilation options<br />

and new technology to ensure your home<br />

will be affordable to run.<br />

• interior décor is really exciting. This is<br />

where show homes can really help you get<br />

to know current trends, colours, beautiful<br />

furnishings and furniture. Collect home<br />

magazines and figure out what you’d love<br />

to emulate.<br />

• Also, pause to give thought to architectural<br />

components inside. Do you remember a<br />

raised ceiling? what kind of finishing do<br />

top homes use and which styles are you<br />

drawn to?<br />

• heating is also a consideration. have a look<br />

at what show homes are offering.<br />

• Kitchens form the heart of the house. show<br />

homes give you insight into the latest styles,<br />

materials and storage facilities available.<br />

• Bathrooms are another big component.<br />

They need to be as luxurious as you can<br />

make them, so start dreaming.<br />

Kitchens form the heart<br />

of the house. show<br />

homes give you insight<br />

into the latest styles,<br />

materials and storage<br />

facilities available.<br />

Proud to have been building<br />

homes for Cantabrians<br />

for more 25 years.<br />

A FREE<br />

TRIP TO FIJI<br />

with every Onyx Home!<br />

A PERFECT FIT!<br />

A purpose-designed plan to suit your<br />

lifestyle - for LESS than a standard plan!<br />

The management team of Onyx Homes are quite simply some of the best and most experienced people in the industry. It’s through this<br />

experience that Onyx Homes wants to bring to their customers a better standard of home that is often less than the standard-plan-built homes<br />

of their competitors. Onyx believe that everyone is unique, so why settle for a standard-plan-home when you can have a purpose-designed<br />

plan to suit exactly your lifestyle and for less than a standard plan? A perfect fit!<br />

This is testament to our customers who have been amazed at the savings with Onyx, but also hadn’t realised their budget would allow for a<br />

such quality spec and design.<br />

NEW SHOW HOME OPEN<br />

HOURS : Wednesday – Sunday, 11am to 4pm at 1 Oak Drive, Flemington Lincoln.<br />

This show home uses products never seen before with massive points of difference.<br />
