LIVING IN <strong>Selwyn</strong> certainly has<br />
its benefits, but one disadvantage<br />
many would agree on would be the<br />
long commute to town.<br />
Well done then to a group of<br />
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School parents<br />
who have arranged a new bus to<br />
make their kids’ daily commute<br />
that much easier. You can read<br />
about that story on page 11.<br />
As October’s local body elections<br />
draw ever closer, we now have a<br />
clear picture of what the choices<br />
are. On our front page we take a<br />
look at all the candidates, including<br />
a previously unannounced bid<br />
for the mayoralty by an incumbent<br />
district councillor.<br />
Then, over on page 5, find out<br />
how well your fellow <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />
think the district council has<br />
performed in delivering services<br />
like rubbish collection and road<br />
maintenance over the last year.<br />

Major Sheffield dam<br />
scheme given go ahead<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
CENTRAL PLAINS Water has<br />
been given resource consent to<br />
dam up to 2.08 million cubic<br />
metres of water near Sheffield.<br />
Water stored within the dam<br />
will be sourced mainly from<br />
the Kowai River supplemented<br />
with water from the Waimakariri<br />
River.<br />
The proposal, known as the<br />
Sheffield Scheme, would service<br />
an area of about 3500ha.<br />
The dam, which will be on<br />
the corner of Cox’s Rd and State<br />
Highway 73, is part of Stage<br />
2 of the Central Plains Water<br />
(CPW) scheme. It is intended<br />
to improve reliability of the<br />
water supply to customers from<br />
83 per cent to 96 per cent and<br />
reduce distribution costs.<br />
The dammed area will be<br />
around 34ha with a ring embankment<br />
ranging from 3.2m<br />
to 11m in height.<br />
Of 42 submissions received<br />
on the proposal, 34 were in<br />
support, four were opposed and<br />
four were neutral.<br />
The commissioners’ report<br />
noted that the dam would be<br />
located in a seismically active<br />
area with “a large number of<br />
faults identified” and “significant<br />
historic earthquakes.”<br />
They therefore decided to<br />
consider the potential for dam<br />
rupture as part of their decision.<br />
Evidence presented by CPW<br />
indicated that any dam-break<br />
would flood an area of about<br />
2460ha, containing 259 different<br />
land parcels, about<br />
1000m of State Highway 73,<br />
several road bridges and the<br />
Annat substation. However,<br />
evidence also indicated that<br />
the dam would have a very low<br />
probability of failure even in a<br />
substantial earthquake.<br />
One of the opposing submitters<br />
was Ngai Tahu, which<br />
raised concerns about the lack<br />
of a cultural impact assessment<br />
on how the dam and its construction<br />
could affect tangata<br />
whenua values and interests.<br />
CPW cited research which<br />
indicated it was unlikely an<br />
archaeological site would be<br />
found within the footprint of<br />
COMING SOON: A digitally altered photograph, looking<br />
west on State Highway 73, shows a rise in the top left of<br />
the picture where the dam embankment would be. <br />
the dam but said it would be<br />
willing to have a cultural monitor<br />
on site for the duration of<br />
the earthworks.<br />
The consent was granted for a<br />
period of 35 years.<br />
The dam is expected to be<br />
completed by September next<br />
year.<br />

BURNHAM PIG FARM<br />
An order for a pig farm near Burnham<br />
to cease operations, after neighbours<br />
complained about noise, dust<br />
and odour, has been withdrawn by<br />
the district council. It was withdrawn<br />
after the owners of the 20ha Thompsons<br />
Rd farm opted to re-enter the<br />
resource consent application process.<br />
The hearing is expected to be held<br />
later this month or early next month.<br />
LIBRARY STRENGTHENING<br />
Earthquake strengthening work<br />
on part of the Darfield Library and<br />
Service Centre will begin on Monday.<br />
The work will be done on the library’s<br />
meeting space, the entrance foyer and<br />
a storage area. The meeting rooms<br />
will be unavailable while the work is<br />
underway, which will take about a<br />
month. The rest of the building will<br />
remain open with access via a ramp<br />
from the side car park.<br />
PREBBLETON TAVERN APPEAL<br />
An appeal by the Prebbleton Tavern<br />
against a <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Licensing<br />
Committee ruling preventing it from<br />
advertising its off-licence alcohol<br />
prices to passers-by will be heard on<br />
Thursday. The case will be heard by<br />
the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing<br />
Authority at the Christchurch<br />
District Court. Pub owner Shannon<br />
Gilmore had argued that it wasn’t fair<br />
to limit advertising for its off-licence<br />
when supermarkets and other alcohol<br />
retailers were able to advertise more<br />
freely. •Rockers at pub, p7<br />

Footpath concern Speed past school buses<br />
Rolleston<br />
Residents<br />
Association<br />
chairwoman<br />
Nicole Reid<br />
ARE THERE<br />
footpaths<br />
in Rolleston<br />
that you are<br />
concerned about?<br />
Is there a section or sections<br />
of footpath(s) that you think<br />
should be there but it’s not? Do<br />
you have ideas about where additional<br />
shared pathways and/<br />
or cycleways should go within<br />
Rolleston Township?<br />
We want to hear from you!<br />
The Rolleston Residents Association<br />
has been actively advocating<br />
for safe walking and cycling<br />
routes for Rolleston.<br />
We have consulted with various<br />
groups and the community for<br />
submissions to this year’s Annual<br />
Plan for an increase in the footpath<br />
budget.<br />
For this financial year we are<br />
pleased that the district council<br />
has provided an additional<br />
$400,000, above the proposed<br />
$100,000, to clear a backlog of<br />
footpath projects.<br />
The list of projects was previously<br />
17 years long at the original<br />
budget of $50,000 per year.<br />
We were also concerned<br />
about the lack of connectivity of<br />
footpaths, shared pathways, and<br />
cycleways.<br />
We have made requests to the<br />
district council that their walking<br />
and cycling strategy and<br />
plan, first developed in 2009, be<br />
updated. That plan was mainly<br />
looking at cycling routes between<br />
townships, as opposed to within<br />
townships. It was also done well<br />
before some of the schools were<br />
even thought of.<br />
The district council is now<br />
undertaking consultation with<br />
us for a walking and cycling<br />
network plan to be developed for<br />
Rolleston.<br />
This is a great opportunity for<br />
the community to identify what<br />
you want added to the plan.<br />
Therefore, we would like to<br />
hear from you. The district council<br />
representatives are coming<br />
to our September 26 meeting,<br />
7.30pm at the Rolleston Community<br />
Centre and anyone is welcome<br />
to attend. Alternatively you<br />
could email us with your ideas to<br />

Kirwee resident Marian<br />
Galloway writes on the<br />
speed limit for passing a<br />
school bus<br />
I am not often on the road<br />
when school buses are picking<br />
up or dropping off school<br />
students, but last week I found<br />
myself behind a school bus when<br />
I was driving between Kirwee<br />
and Darfield.<br />
I was well aware that the bus<br />
might be stopping at some stage,<br />
so I was prepared to slow right<br />
down to 20km/h as we are supposed<br />
to do (I generally find that<br />
even if I slam on the anchors<br />
I cannot get down to the right<br />
speed in time).<br />
Sure enough, as I spotted a<br />
boy running down his driveway<br />
ahead, the bus’ rear warning<br />
lights began to flicker, so I immediately<br />
pressed the brake<br />
pedal. I was able to slow gently<br />
and reach the required speed by<br />
the time the bus came to a halt.<br />
The driver of the dark blue<br />
station wagon behind me had<br />
plenty of time to realise that I<br />
was slowing down because of the<br />
school bus. However, he pulled<br />
out to overtake when I was at<br />
around 30km/h, accelerating<br />
rapidly so that he was way faster<br />
than he should have been as he<br />
passed the bus.<br />
SPEED IN FOCUS: A car driving past a school bus on Shands<br />
Rd.<br />
I sympathise with him, but<br />
I think this just illustrates the<br />
unworkability of the 20km/h<br />
law: even if you are not losing<br />
rubber in order to slow down in<br />
time, you are likely to be passed<br />
by another motorist, and in busy<br />
traffic that can lead to confusion<br />
and impatience.<br />
I can see that children at bus<br />
stops in the country need to<br />
be protected, but I suspect that<br />
stopped buses very rarely get<br />
passed by cars going as slowly as<br />
20km/h.<br />
I think a higher limit that everyone<br />
keeps to, along with good<br />
supervision of young children<br />
around bus stops, would be a<br />
more effective safety measure.<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you<br />
have a view you would like<br />
to share on a local issue?<br />

People rate <strong>Selwyn</strong> highly<br />
SELWYN RESIDENTS are<br />
very happy with their rubbish<br />
collection services but not so<br />
positive about the state of their<br />
rural roads.<br />
However, <strong>Selwyn</strong> is a great<br />
place to live according to 94 per<br />
cent of residents who took part<br />
in a recent survey.<br />
The annual district council<br />
satisfaction survey was carried<br />
out by independent research<br />
company Versus.<br />
In this year’s survey, 65<br />
per cent of residents rated<br />
the district council’s overall<br />
performance as good or very<br />
good, up from 60 per cent in<br />
2015.<br />
Overall, 21 of the 26 district<br />
council services surveyed<br />
received ratings of 50 per cent<br />
or higher, with seven rated<br />
above 75 per cent. The highest<br />
rated service was rubbish<br />
collection, with 94 per cent of<br />
residents rating it as good or<br />
very good.<br />
The five services which<br />
received ratings lower than 50<br />
per cent were the land drainage<br />
network, district road and<br />
footpath safety, rural roads,<br />
maintaining the rural character<br />
of the district and ensuring the<br />
THE VERDICT: Rubbish collection services were rated highly<br />
by <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents – the state of rural roads, not so much. <br />
development of new growth<br />
areas occurs in the best possible<br />
way. Of these, rural roads<br />
received the worst rating of 39<br />
per cent.<br />
More than half of the services<br />
maintained their satisfaction<br />
rating or recorded an increase<br />
from last year. The single<br />
biggest rise in satisfaction<br />
was for urban roads, which<br />
increased from 49 per cent last<br />
year to 58 per cent.<br />
Community facilities like<br />
libraries, community centres<br />
and parks are well used by<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents, with 82 per<br />
cent of residents visiting a park<br />
within the past year, 64 per<br />
cent visiting a library and 63<br />
per cent using a public hall or<br />
recreation centre.<br />
District council acting chief<br />
executive Stephen Hill said<br />
the survey had provided some<br />
positive results and has also<br />
highlighted some areas where<br />
improvement was needed.<br />
“It is particularly pleasing to<br />
see that <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents rate<br />
their quality of life so highly,”<br />
Mr Hill said.<br />
“The council started<br />
investing around $1<br />
million extra a year on road<br />
maintenance in 2014 which is<br />
one of our largest expenditure<br />
areas.”<br />
Mr Hill said the district<br />
council had also recently<br />
decided to provide extra<br />
funding for footpath extension<br />
work, which was identified as<br />
a lower performing area in the<br />
survey.<br />

COMMUNITY CENTRE<br />
Construction of the new multipurpose<br />
Dunsandel Community<br />
Centre has officially started with<br />
a ground-breaking ceremony at<br />
the site. <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams<br />
was on hand to turn the first sod<br />
on the project, which will replace<br />
the former Dunsandel Hall. The<br />
hall was severely damaged in the<br />
September 2010 earthquake, and<br />
demolished in 2012, although<br />
planning for a new facility had<br />
commenced prior to the earthquake.<br />
Building will start later this month<br />
and the work is due to be finished in<br />
May. The work is taking place either<br />
side of the local rugby season.<br />
CELLPHONES AND DRIVING<br />
A new campaign to remind<br />
motorists of the dangers of driving<br />
while using a phone has been<br />
launched by the district council.<br />
Advertisements and billboards<br />
will promote the drive phone-free<br />
message to <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents. Police<br />
are supporting the campaign and<br />
will be looking out for any motorists<br />
who breach the law. A short survey<br />
on phone use has been developed<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents and responses<br />
received before September 12<br />
will go into the draw for a $150<br />
Westfield voucher. To complete the<br />

Couple’s BBC connection<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
WHEN WAYNE and Lavinia<br />
Cook started their video<br />
production company, they never<br />
expected to get a call from the<br />
BBC.<br />
Now some of their work is<br />
featuring in the BBC’s three-part<br />
series, New Zealand: Earth’s<br />
Mythical Islands, which has just<br />
aired in the United Kingdom.<br />
The couple set up their Rolleston<br />
business, COBi Digital,<br />
five years ago and were recommended<br />
to the BBC.<br />
They helped the British<br />
broadcaster film the series,<br />
which showcases New Zealand’s<br />
wildlife and natural history.<br />
They spent a month last year<br />
filming aerial shots with drones<br />
in five South Island locations.<br />
Mr Cook said they filmed at<br />
the limestone caves near Karamea,<br />
a sheep station in Gore, the<br />
winter muster at Queenstown’s<br />
Mt Nicholas Station, the Queen<br />
Mary 2 cruise ship in Milford<br />
Sound, and the Christ Church<br />
Cathedral.<br />
Originally the producers had<br />
not planned on featuring the<br />
Cathedral in the series, he said.<br />
However, after seeing the work<br />
COBi Digital had done for the<br />
Christchurch Earthquake Recovery<br />
Authority, they decided<br />
to include it.<br />
IN ACTION: Wayne and Lavinia Cook filmed the Christ Church<br />
Cathedral as part of a BBC series. <br />
Mr Cook said it was amazing<br />
to work and learn from the BBC<br />
crew.<br />
“They’ve got nothing but ultimate<br />
passion for producing the<br />
ultimate product.”<br />
He said the fact that New Zealand<br />
actor Sam Neill narrates the<br />
series was even more exciting,<br />
and very Kiwi.<br />
Mrs Cook’s background has<br />
always been in video production,<br />
having worked at TV3 for 30<br />
years, before moving to TVNZ.<br />
However, Mr Cook was a<br />
police officer for 10 years before<br />
becoming a senior fire fighter in<br />
Auckland.<br />
“My background is emergency<br />
work, but I look at our work now<br />
and it’s just as random, you don’t<br />
know what you’re going to be<br />
doing,” he said.<br />
He had always been interested<br />
in photography, but when he left<br />
the fire service decided to take it<br />
up full time.<br />
At that stage, Mrs Cook was<br />
made redundant from TVNZ,<br />
and the pair decided to start<br />
COBi Digital together.<br />
They do most of the work<br />
themselves, at times bringing in<br />
a contractor.<br />
Mr Cook, who has his private<br />
pilot license, is also a drone<br />
flight-testing instructor for<br />
Flight Test New Zealand.<br />
Most of COBi Digital’s work is<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and<br />
Christchurch and Canterbury<br />
Tourism, but they had done a lot<br />
of work for CERA documenting<br />
the residential red zone.<br />
The three episodes are one and<br />
a half hours long each, and are<br />
expected to air in New Zealand<br />
at the end of the year.<br />

Climbing stairs a way for firefighter<br />
Rolleston Volunteer Fire Brigade senior station officer Steve Trigg will be part<br />
of the Canterbury Stair Climb Team tackling 28 floors of Melbourne’s Crown<br />
Metropol Hotel for charity next month. He spoke to Tom Doudney about which<br />
of the several stair climbs he has done was the most brutal and about the<br />
camaraderie between firefighters from different countries<br />
GOOD CAUSE: Steve Trigg at last year’s Sky Tower Stair<br />
Challenge.<br />
When are you doing the<br />
Melbourne Firefighters Stair<br />
Climb?<br />
September 3<br />
Have you done it before?<br />
It’s my second time.<br />
Have you done any other<br />
similar events?<br />
Yes, I’ve done the Sky Tower,<br />
the World Trade Centre in New<br />
York twice and I’ve done a climb<br />
in Seattle which was the biggest<br />
one. Then I’ve also done a<br />
climb in Las Vegas as well – The<br />
Stratosphere – and the Eureka<br />
Climb in Melbourne.<br />
How does the Melbourne one<br />
rate in comparison to the others<br />
in terms of difficulty?<br />
The Melbourne one is definitely<br />
the easiest one – it’s only a<br />
short 28 storeys. The Auckland<br />
one is 51 and the Seattle one is<br />
65. The New York one is 72, so<br />
that’s a big one as well.<br />
Is this Melbourne one raising<br />
money for anything in particular?<br />
Yes, it’s raising money for a<br />
cancer research centre in Melbourne<br />
(the Murdoch Children’s<br />
Research Institute). The goal is to<br />
raise $343,000 and it’s a memorial<br />
climb as well, showing respect<br />
to the 343 firefighters who died<br />
in the World Trade Centre in<br />
9/11.<br />
It’s very much a sister climb to<br />
the Auckland Sky Tower so all<br />
the ideas and support has come<br />
from the guy who organises the<br />
stair climb in Auckland.<br />
How long have you been<br />
doing these stair climb<br />
events?<br />
My first one was Seattle, 2013.<br />
You’ve done a fair few in that<br />
time then.<br />
Yes, I have. It’s a lot of fun and<br />
very addictive and the people I<br />
have met from all over the world<br />
are just amazing, the people I’ve<br />
met in America and Australia<br />
are just really, really good friends<br />
and that’s what makes it so amazing<br />
really. The guy that organises<br />
the climb in Melbourne (firefighter<br />
Stephen Axup) is a very<br />
good friend, I’m actually going<br />
to stay at his place over there.<br />
He’s a good mate, that’s why I do<br />
that climb. He came here and did<br />
the two Rapaki climbs that we<br />
did here in Christchurch.<br />
What prompted you to do<br />
that first one in 2013?<br />
Rolleston has always had quite<br />
a strong stair climbing fraternity<br />
and it has all been led by a guy<br />
called Phil Glen, a station officer<br />
in the Rolleston brigade, who has<br />
been doing it for seven or eight<br />
years now. That’s how I got into<br />
it. I’ve been using it as an opportunity<br />
to keep fit and have a goal.<br />
You can’t just turn up in stair<br />
climbing, you have got to train<br />
and we get really good support<br />
from the Hub Hornby who allow<br />
us to use their escalator for<br />
training.<br />
How tough was that first one<br />
you did in Seattle?<br />
A shocker – it was horrible! It<br />
was tough but the end of it was<br />
great. It would be the toughest<br />
around, I believe.<br />

to keep fit and strike up friendships<br />
There are bigger climbs like<br />
the Eureka one I’ve done in<br />
Melbourne which is 88 storeys,<br />
so there are bigger climbs, but<br />
they’re not all donned. With the<br />
Eureka climb and the New York<br />
climb you have just got the set<br />
on, you don’t have the mask on<br />
and you’re not breathing the air<br />
supplied by the cylinder on our<br />
back, so you’re not as restricted<br />
whereas the Seattle climb is 65<br />
storeys with a bottle change<br />
halfway up so it’s a really tough<br />
climb and it was my first one so I<br />
went straight to the toughest.<br />
I’m sure it’s not all about the<br />
results but have you ever had a<br />
high placing?<br />
Personally, on a winning<br />
scale, compared to others, no.<br />
I’m not there to win it, I go for<br />
personal bests but we’ve always<br />
been more about just getting out<br />
there and socialising and getting<br />
to know people from other<br />
countries and then they come<br />
here to our climb and help raise<br />
the profile and that’s how we can<br />
raise $1 million for Leukaemia<br />
& Blood Cancer New Zealand,<br />
you see.<br />
Meeting firefighters from all<br />
these different countries must<br />
be cool.<br />
SERIAL STAIR CLIMBER: Steve Trigg has completed multiple charity stair climb events around<br />
the world since his first in 2013.<br />
Oh, it’s the best part. I’ve got<br />
a lot of friends all around the<br />
world through this and there<br />
is quite a big fraternity of guys<br />
that go to the New York and the<br />
American climbs and they will<br />
probably go to Melbourne and<br />
then of course they all come to<br />
Auckland. There are quite a few<br />
people from Australia and New<br />
Zealand and America who are<br />
quite close and we get to stay in<br />
their places when we go to New<br />
York but the camaraderie is huge<br />
– it’s massive.<br />
How long have you been a<br />
firefighter and how long have<br />
you been with the Rolleston<br />
brigade?<br />
I’ve been a firefighter for about<br />
26 years and I’ve been with<br />
Rolleston for about 12 years.<br />
How old are you now?<br />
44<br />
What made you get into firefighting?<br />
Probably from my point of<br />
view, it was sort of in my family.<br />
My father was a firefighter, my<br />
brother was a firefighter and I<br />
work for the Fire Service now as<br />
well.<br />
In 26 years you must have<br />
been to a lot of different jobs.<br />
What ones stand out the most<br />
in your memory?<br />
With Rolleston, it’s the busiest<br />
volunteer station in the country.<br />
We go to a lot of motor vehicle<br />
accidents so that is our biggest<br />
issue really. There is no particular<br />
incident that stands out but<br />
it is unfortunately one of the<br />
busiest stations with MVAs in<br />
the country, so it is tough for that<br />
and we just try and encourage<br />
people to take it easy out there.<br />
What would be the most unusual<br />
incident you’ve attended<br />
with the fire service?<br />
I got called to a kid with his<br />
leg stuck in his sewerage pipe<br />
– I think it was just a curiosity<br />
thing where he got his leg in<br />
but couldn’t get it out. And one<br />
where there was a magpie stuck<br />
in a tree (it’s leg was caught in<br />
some string).<br />
Outside of the fire brigade<br />
what sort of work do you do?<br />
Well for the past six years we<br />
have owned Cafe Izone in the<br />
Izone industrial park.<br />
Outside of the fire brigade<br />
and work what are you main<br />
hobbies and interests?<br />
There is not a lot of time for<br />
much else to be honest. I play a<br />
bit of golf when I can but that’s<br />
about it.<br />
Have you got a wife and kids?<br />
I’m married to Shelly and we<br />
have a daughter at Lincoln High<br />
School.<br />
How did you and Shelly<br />
meet?<br />
She was one of my customers<br />
when I was a sales rep for independent<br />
liquor. She was running<br />
the Russley Hotel.<br />

School bus for Rangi students<br />
RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />
students from the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District and Halswell will be<br />
able to use a new bus service<br />
to get to school.<br />
The initiative came from<br />
parents who were having difficulties<br />
getting their children<br />
to school using the existing<br />
routes in the city.<br />
The bus, which is identifiable<br />
by a Rangi Ruru School<br />
Bus sign, departs Burnham<br />
at 6.35am with five points<br />
from which students can be<br />
picked up and disembark<br />
from in Rolleston, Lincoln<br />
University, Lincoln, Tai Tapu<br />
and Halswell.<br />
It arrives at the school by<br />
8.10am and returns at 4pm for<br />
pick-up and will end the day<br />
in Burnham at 5.20pm.<br />
Principal Sandra Hastie said<br />
the school is very supportive<br />
of effective public transport<br />
and having students on a bus,<br />
using bus lanes and other<br />
priority measures designed for<br />
bus efficiency.<br />
“There’s already too little<br />
time and too much stress<br />
in many lives so if we can<br />
alleviate that for parents and<br />
students, that’s a good thing,”<br />
she said.<br />
Fares are $7.50 return or $4<br />
one way and students use their<br />
Cando card as they would for<br />
any Metro bus. The card can<br />
be topped up with the driver.<br />
Rangi Ruru business manager<br />
Neil Templeton said Red<br />
Bus has been very co-operative<br />
during the development<br />
of the service trial.<br />
“We are open to suggestions<br />
for improvements during the<br />
trial and are encouraging<br />
parents and students to give<br />
us feedback.”<br />
Dr Hastie says the service is<br />
also available to students from<br />
other Christchurch independent<br />
schools and parents should<br />
contact the school to register<br />
their son or daughter.<br />
She adds that although<br />
this a trial, all going well, the<br />
intention is to continue the<br />
service.<br />
SCHOOL BUS: A bus<br />
trial for Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />
School has begun with<br />

I brought my husband a<br />
beautiful basket from Jo for<br />
valentines day and it was<br />
truly amazing. I was so happy<br />
with it and …the price I<br />
payed for it I was more<br />
than happy with well<br />
worth every penny. To my<br />
surprise I also received one<br />
and it was so nice receiving<br />
a gift basket filled with lots<br />
of lovely goodies. Thankyou<br />
so much Jo for making mine<br />
and my husband’s valentines<br />
day one to remember. Would<br />
highly recommend you to<br />
anyone.<br />
5 star - What a great place<br />
to order gifts for people from<br />
especially different type of gluten<br />
free goodies. We received the<br />
most… amazing coconut crisps<br />
and swear they were tastiest<br />
thing we’d tried in such a long<br />
time. Great fast postage perfect<br />
communication and super friendly<br />
I’d suggest checking this business<br />
out and spoiling yourself or a loved<br />
one - Rebecca Taylor<br />
Beautiful Easter baskets for the<br />
kids and definitely loved that I<br />
didn’t have to go near any busy<br />
shops. Will definitely be my one<br />
stop shop for beautiful gifts.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />
One man and his 1000 dreams<br />
• By Roy Sinclair<br />
NEIL ANDREWS leads the<br />
way down precarious steps to a<br />
seemingly underground room.<br />
He flicks on a light switch.<br />
I am wowed by a high viaduct<br />
spanning a realistic gorge. My<br />
eyes are led to tall forests, tree<br />
ferns galore and a painted backdrop<br />
depicting a stormy sky.<br />
“This is what I do,” he says.<br />
“It is not what I do in my spare<br />
time.<br />
“I mow the lawns in my spare<br />
time.”<br />
The room was purpose-built<br />
for the 9mm (scale 9mm to the<br />
foot) layout representative of a<br />
one-time railway in Northland.<br />
In his garage he is working on<br />
a second, portable, layout. This is<br />
a narrow-gauge railway based on<br />
French townscapes.<br />
Model railways is an interest<br />
he could not be without.<br />
“When I met my partner,<br />
Helen, I told her it is me and my<br />
trains. They are inseparable.<br />
“She accepted that which was<br />
great.”<br />
He describes railway modelling<br />
“as a thousand dreams<br />
held together by a hundred<br />
unfinished jobs. In other words,<br />
a degree of chaos.”<br />
“Part of the fascination is<br />
HAND-MADE: Model builder, Neil Andrews and his miniature creation of early last century<br />
Northland. <br />
delving into history to discover<br />
how it all would have looked like<br />
early last century,” Mr Andrews<br />
said.<br />
He always liked to do things<br />
with his hands. He enjoyed art<br />
at school – and building things.<br />
Even when he had clockwork<br />
railways he was always cutting<br />
up cardboard boxes to make<br />
buildings.<br />
He recalls scoring designs on<br />
pieces of wood to make boats.<br />
Railways became another part<br />
of it.<br />
Getting into more serious railway<br />
modelling during the late<br />
1950s, there was not much stuff<br />
available and if it was he didn’t<br />
have the money.<br />
If he wanted it he made it.<br />
“My mother used to take me to<br />
the railway station. I remember<br />
being in my pushchair watching<br />
H90 x W130mm<br />
the Lyttelton trains come and<br />
go.<br />
“Then at primary school I was<br />
quite capable of making an Ecclass<br />
electric locomotive with the<br />
distinctive air compressor tanks<br />
across the front. Everyone could<br />
recognise it.”<br />
Later, any new gadget at his<br />
Canterbury University laboratory<br />
would be first examined to<br />
how it would be useful on the<br />
model railway.<br />
“Then we would work out how<br />
it was intended to be used.”<br />
His workplace became known<br />
as “the model train laboratory.”<br />
That’s what people who visited<br />
talked about.<br />
He travelled to model railroad<br />
conventions in the United States,<br />
becoming a member of the<br />
R.G.S. East Hon3 club.<br />
He visited huge model railway<br />
shows in Cologne and Miniature<br />
Wonderland in Hamburg.<br />
“In Germany a model railway<br />
is like a dishwasher. Everyone<br />
has to have one. And most offerings<br />
are German-made. They are<br />
excellent.<br />
“On one European trip Helen<br />
and I were forced off the road by<br />
Tour de France officials.<br />
“We had to divert into a backwater<br />
countryside.<br />

BUILDING: A train layout under construction and a G-scale<br />
layout at last year’s Christchurch Model Train Show.<br />
“There we found towns of<br />
beautiful buildings with terracotta<br />
roofs. We had discovered<br />
the romance of the French countryside.<br />
“Anything French is different.<br />
If you see a French car you know<br />
it is French because it looks nothing<br />
like anything else. It is the<br />
same with railways.<br />
“Their narrow gauge railways<br />
were basically portable. They<br />
could be picked up and laid<br />
beside a road.<br />
“That really intrigued me. Narrow<br />
gauge secondary lines were<br />
introduced to boost the network<br />
of French railways.’’<br />
The unplanned detour instigated<br />
his French narrow gauge layout.<br />
“One develops a modeller’s<br />
mind.<br />
“A modeller will typically think<br />
how it would look in miniature?”<br />
He talks about Hamburg’s<br />
mind-boggling Miniature Wonderland.<br />
“It’s absolutely intriguing. It’s<br />
a huge collection that is pushing<br />
the boundaries of technology and<br />
inspiring manufacturers to pick<br />
up on it with new products.”<br />
“The model aircraft must<br />
represent the peak of model<br />
building.’’<br />
“The model trains have been<br />
running for so long the track is<br />
wearing out.”<br />
The closest we have in<br />
Christchurch is the annual big<br />
model train Show, this year being<br />
held over the weekend of October<br />
1 and 2.<br />
The venue is Pioneer Stadium<br />
in Lyttelton St, Spreydon. It is the<br />
show’s 25th anniversary so promises<br />
to be special.<br />
Mr Andrews was an instigator<br />
of the event, starting a model<br />
train show at Hagley Community<br />
College and then expanding to<br />
the Horticultural Society hall.<br />
Then, the Christchurch Model<br />
Railway Exhibition Society was<br />
formed and took over. Its growth<br />
took it to Pioneer Stadium where<br />
it has been ever since. At its peak<br />
the show attracted 10,000 people<br />
over the two days.<br />
“It’s about its optimum size.<br />
“Considering our modest<br />
Christchurch population we do a<br />
pretty good job,” he said.<br />
This year’s show will help those<br />
wanting to get into the hobby.<br />
“We will have beginners’ train<br />
sets and heaps of demonstrations.<br />
Find out the best models to buy<br />
and learn how to make things.<br />
“Technology will be to the<br />
fore. This is enhancing the hobby<br />
and drawing younger people in.<br />
They can operate a railway from<br />
a PC or mobile phone, utilising<br />
wi-fi and DCC (digital control<br />
systems).”<br />
He says model railway people<br />
are an enthusiastic bunch. They<br />
will do their utmost to share<br />
what they know.<br />
Andrews will be on the demonstrations<br />
desk. It is likely he will<br />
let slip how to disguise a lot of<br />
money spent on the hobby within<br />
the weekly household bills.<br />

Lincoln looking for place in football final<br />
LINCOLN HIGH School can<br />
book their place in the final of<br />
the Connetics First XI football<br />
competition tomorrow when<br />
they meet Middleton Grange in<br />
the semi-finals at English Park.<br />
The winner will play the<br />
either Cashmere High School or<br />
Burnside High School who meet<br />
in the other semi-final which<br />
follows the Lincoln, Middleton<br />
match. Lincoln had completely<br />
dominated the competition up<br />
until last week.<br />
They went into last Wednesday’s<br />
final round-robin match<br />
against Middleton at English<br />
Park unbeaten and in the possession<br />
of the Connetics Shield,<br />
Canterbury secondary school’s<br />
football equivalent of the Ranfurly<br />
Shield.<br />
With the scores locked at nilall<br />
with less than five minutes<br />
to play Middleton midfielder<br />
Hirokazu Sanada hit the shot of<br />
his life, scoring from just inside<br />
the Lincoln Half to win the game<br />
for Middleton.<br />
“It was unbelievable, he<br />
launched about a 50m bullet,”<br />
said Lincoln manager Richard<br />
James.<br />
The two teams will meet for<br />
ON THE<br />
ATTACK: Luke<br />
Fowler (on the<br />
ball) has been<br />
instrumental<br />
in Lincoln’s<br />
success,<br />
leading the<br />
team with<br />
17 goals this<br />
season. <br />
the second time in a week, however,<br />
much more is now at stake.<br />
“We’ve got the chance to<br />
rectify last week if we beat Middleton.<br />
We’re also motivated<br />
because if we do that then we can<br />
say we’ve beaten every team in<br />
the competition,” says James.<br />
Although Lincoln were gutted<br />
to lose the Connetics Shield<br />
and finish the round-robin with<br />
a loss to their name, bringing<br />
home the first XI competition<br />
will certainly put that at the back<br />
of their mind.<br />
There will be even more on<br />
the line for Lincoln at the end<br />
of the month. They will be<br />
SPORTS<br />
Canterbury’s only representative<br />
in the top <strong>16</strong> national secondary<br />
school tournament in Papamoa,<br />
Tauranga.<br />
It will also be the school’s first<br />
appearance in the top-<strong>16</strong> pool<br />
stage. They face a tough job to<br />
advance from their group. They<br />
will play Auckland’s top side<br />
Sacred Heart College who are<br />
coached by former All-White<br />
defender Danny Hay. Mt Albert<br />
Grammar and New Plymouth<br />
Boys’ High School are also in<br />
their group.<br />
Lincoln’s semi-final against<br />
Middleton will take place tomorrow<br />
at English Park, kick-off is at<br />
3.45pm.<br />
Shamrocks finish season on a high<br />
THE PREBBLETON Shamrocks<br />
have won the third division of<br />
the CSSL competition, finishing<br />
the season unbeaten.<br />
The team finished with a<br />
3-0 over Avonhead on <strong>August</strong><br />
7, completing a dominant<br />
season, they did not concede a<br />
single goal in their final eight<br />
games.<br />
The Shamrocks scored 55<br />
goals and conceded just 13 to<br />
finish with a goal differential of<br />
42. The next best was Lyttleton<br />
FC with 17.<br />
The team will go up to second<br />
division next year and look<br />
forward to the challenge ahead.<br />
Last year the team did not win<br />
one game, making for a huge<br />
turnaround in the space of just<br />
12 months.<br />

Footpath<br />
work planned<br />
Southern Motorway extension to<br />
start in October<br />
The NZ Transport Agency announced last week it had awarded a<br />
contract to build stage two of the Christchurch Southern Motorway.<br />
The $195 million project is designed to improve travel times and<br />
reduce serious crashes and is one of the last two Christchurch<br />
motorways projects to be built under the Government’s Roads of<br />
National Significance programme.<br />
The Southern Motorway stage two will four-lane State Highway 1,<br />
from just north of Rolleston to near Robinsons Road. From here,<br />
the new section of motorway will be built to the east of SH1 across<br />
Greenfields to connect with stage one at Halswell Junction Road.<br />
This second stage begins in October 20<strong>16</strong> and will take three and a<br />
half years to complete.<br />
NZTA has awarded the contract for the second stage of works to<br />
a McConnell Dowell/Downer joint venture. For information on the<br />
project visit: www.nzta.govt.nz/csm2<br />
Around six kilometres of new footpaths will be developed over the next year as a result of the<br />
Council allocating extra funding for footpath extensions.<br />
The Council has previously spent around $50,000 each year to develop new footpaths. In this<br />
year’s Annual Plan, the Council proposed putting more funding into developing footpaths to fill<br />
some missing sections in our footpath network, and add footpaths in some busy areas where they<br />
were needed. Submitters to the plan generally supported this idea, and also put forward ideas<br />
about other footpaths they wanted to see extended.<br />
As a result of submissions, the Council has increased the footpath extension budget to $500,000<br />
this year, with the extra $400,000 met from investment income from Sicon which was higher than<br />
forecast. A list of planned footpath extensions is included below with work expected to start by<br />
summer and be completed next winter.<br />
Not all of the footpath extensions requested by submitters are able to be funded from this year’s<br />
budget. Work that has not been funded this year will be considered for inclusion in next year’s<br />
Annual Plan work programme.<br />
In addition to our footpath extension budget the Council also has a budget of $330,000 for<br />
resealing and maintaining existing footpaths.<br />

from home?<br />
There are a number of ways you can pay your rates<br />
from home.<br />
The first option is to pay through internet banking. The<br />
Council’s bank account is 03-1587-0050000-00 and<br />
you need to list your valuation number (see information<br />
below) in the reference field along with your initials and<br />
surname in the particulars field. If you have more than<br />
one rates invoice you need to set up a separate bill<br />
payment for each bill.<br />
You can also set up regular weekly, fortnightly, monthly<br />
or quarterly automatic rates payments using the Rates<br />
Easypay system. To set up a payment you need your<br />
property valuation number and bank account number.<br />
Your valuation number can be found on a rates invoice<br />
(this was posted or emailed to property owners in early<br />
<strong>August</strong>) and you can also find this online at www.selwyn.<br />
govt.nz/propertysearch by entering your address. Then<br />
visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/rateseasypay and complete the<br />
online form – it takes less than two minutes to do this.<br />
Once the form is received we will process the request<br />
and send you confirmation of the amount to be debited<br />
regularly and the payment start date.<br />
Rates payments can also be made by cheque via post<br />
or at Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln Libraries or the<br />
Council’s Rolleston Headquarters by cash, EFTPOS,<br />
credit card or cheque.<br />
By now you should have received your rates invoice this<br />
quarter. The next rates instalment is due 2 September. If<br />
you haven’t received your invoice, please phone 347 2800<br />
or email rates@selwyn.govt.nz. If you have moved, don’t<br />
forget to give us your new address and phone number.<br />
The average household spends around $57 per week<br />
on <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council rates, which is similar to the<br />
amount Canterbury households spend on power or<br />
insurance each week. For your rates the Council provides<br />
a wide range of services including roads, footpaths, parks,<br />
libraries, civil defence and rural fire services, rubbish<br />
and recycling, water and wastewater, community halls,<br />
swimming pools, local events and lots more.<br />

Library strengthening planned<br />
Earthquake strengthening work at Darfield Library and Service Centre<br />
will start from Monday 22 <strong>August</strong> and will take around one month.<br />
The work means that the building’s meeting rooms will be<br />
temporarily unavailable. The building will remain open during the<br />
work with normal hours however access will be via a ramp from<br />
the side carpark. Library users will need to park at the front of the<br />
building (two mobility car parks will also operate near the ramp).<br />
The after-hours return box will be accessible while work occurs.<br />
The repairs are to be made to the oldest part of the building which<br />
is used as meeting space, a foyer and storage area. A detailed<br />
engineering assessment of the building was undertaken which<br />
recommended that strengthening take place but that until the work<br />
occurred there was no reason for the building to be closed to the<br />
public on safety grounds. The rest of the building which includes the<br />
book display and public areas was built in stages in 1983 and 2010<br />
and the assessment found these areas do not require strengthening.<br />

Youth camps coming up<br />
Two exciting opportunities for young people are now open<br />
for applications. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council is hosting a Youth<br />
Leadership weekend for 20 young people aged 13-15 at Wainui<br />
Camp on Banks Peninsula on the weekend of 24 and 25 September.<br />
The weekend is a chance to get to know other young people,<br />
develop new skills, be empowered to make positive changes in<br />
society and be mentored by young leaders. The camp is free with<br />
transport from Rolleston provided. It is funded from a Ministry of<br />
Youth Development grant. Applications for the camp are open until<br />
Friday 2 September – for information visit www.selwyn.govt.nz.<br />
Young people aged 15-19 can also apply to join a Youth in<br />
Emergency Services camp happening from 26-30 September at<br />
Waipara Adventure Centre. The camp is a combined initiative by<br />
the Waimakariri, Hurunui and <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Councils. Emergency<br />
Services including the NZ Fire Service, Red Cross, NZ Police,<br />
Coastguard, St John and Land Search and Rescue will attend the<br />
camp. Camp participants will have the chance to find out more<br />
about their work, learn new skills including hands on activities,<br />
and meet new friends. Following the camp, young people also<br />
spend three months volunteering with the emergency service of<br />
their choice. The volunteering is after hours for a few hours per<br />
week. Applications for the camp close Friday 26 <strong>August</strong> – see<br />
hurunuiyouth.co.nz/yes for more information.<br />

RED CROSS<br />
Ensuring a safe work place<br />
Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe<br />
work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the<br />
wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that<br />
in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,<br />
but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or<br />
on to the sports field?<br />
not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place<br />
can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators<br />
does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy<br />
machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance<br />
service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid<br />
course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.<br />
take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high<br />
risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that<br />
they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability<br />
to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course<br />
of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium<br />
risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a<br />
spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />
hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and<br />
26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,<br />
hypothermia and poisonings.<br />
The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in<br />
fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most<br />
common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children<br />
are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in<br />
australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents<br />
or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far<br />
behind those in the workplace.<br />
The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard<br />
6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk<br />
environments. This course covers many of the skills required to<br />
deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result<br />
in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes<br />
such as motor vehicle accidents.<br />
if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask<br />
your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the<br />
course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.<br />
Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your<br />
location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is<br />
up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where<br />
it is located.<br />

Award-winning chef soaks up pressure<br />
Chillingworth Road chef<br />
and National Commis Chef<br />
of the Year – Blake Haines<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
THE PRESSURE was on<br />
as Blake Haines set out his<br />
equipment and ingredients,<br />
preparing to battle some of the<br />
top young chefs in the country<br />
for the National Commis Chef of<br />
the Year title.<br />
That was when he got that<br />
sinking feeling: He was missing<br />
a crucial ingredient.<br />
In the rush to catch his<br />
flight to Auckland at 5am that<br />
morning, he had left his salt<br />
sitting on the bench at home.<br />
The chefs competing<br />
had to bring all their own<br />
equipment and ingredients<br />
to the competition from their<br />
seasonings to their pots and<br />
pans – which made for some<br />
funny looks when going through<br />
bag checks at the airport, he<br />
said.<br />
It was too late to buy any more,<br />
so he just had to work with what<br />
he had.<br />
But he went on to win gold<br />
for his main, an Akaroa salmon<br />
duo, half pan-fried and half<br />
wrapped in nori seaweed and<br />
cooked in plenty of chicken<br />
SATISFIED: Blake Haines beat the odds to win a gold medal at a national title.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
stock to make up for the missing<br />
seasoning.<br />
Winning a national title was<br />
incredibly satisfying, he said.<br />
He had dreamed of becoming<br />
a chef since he was about eightyears-old,<br />
cooking meals for<br />
his family – then things like<br />
spaghetti bolognese or chocolate<br />
chip biscuits, he said.<br />
“My family were good critics,<br />
although my mum never<br />
appreciated the mess in the<br />
kitchen,” he said.<br />
At about 14 he got an afterschool<br />
job washing dishes for a<br />
local restaurant, and from there<br />
he was hooked, he said.<br />
He worked for a while in<br />
Dunedin and at the Hermitage<br />
Hotel at Mt Cook, before<br />
moving to Christchurch with his<br />
girlfriend early this year.<br />
He knew Chillingworth<br />
Road owner and chef Darren<br />
Wright through his work on the<br />
Culinary Olympics NZ squad,<br />
and said he wanted the chance to<br />
work with him.<br />
His main role at the restaurant<br />
was as pastry chef which, he<br />
said, was something he had<br />
always enjoyed.<br />
“For customers, the first thing<br />
they try is the bread and the last<br />
is the dessert, so it either ruins<br />
or makes someone’s evening.<br />
Hopefully they are the two<br />
things they remember most,” he<br />
said.<br />
After seeing Blake’s work in<br />
the competitions, Olympic squad<br />
member and Christchurch chef<br />
Mark Sycamore asked him to<br />
travel to Greece with him in<br />
September this year to compete<br />
at the WACS WorldChefs<br />
Congress as his commis chef.<br />
But, although he hoped<br />
cheffing could open doors for<br />
more travelling in the future, he<br />
said he always planned to return<br />
to New Zealand.<br />
“We both love Christchurch<br />
and there’s lots going on, so<br />
many new restaurants opening<br />
and places to dine, so there are<br />
so many opportunities here.”<br />

Add colour with chrysanthemums<br />
• By Tod Palenski<br />
NOT ALL flowers are created<br />
equal. Some don’t like to be<br />
picked. Some don’t flower easily<br />
or for a couple of seasons.<br />
Some require lots of ongoing<br />
maintenance.<br />
Fortunately, chrysanthemums<br />
are not like some flowers. They<br />
are easy to grow and their flowers<br />
are long-lasting.<br />
If you like to have colour<br />
in the garden and flowers<br />
in your home, stop buying<br />
flowers and grow your own<br />
chrysanthemums. There are three<br />
varieties of chrysanthemum I<br />
like. One is merry mix, which is<br />
also known as love daisy, it grows<br />
to a height of 50cm and produces<br />
single flowers in a lovely<br />
combination of tri-coloured<br />
blooms.<br />
The other two varieties are<br />
snowland and moonlight which<br />
will grow to a height of 20cm and<br />
are good for growing in cooler<br />
climates.<br />
Snowland produces single<br />
flowers with white petals and<br />
a striking yellow centre, and<br />
moonlight produces all over<br />
yellow single flowers.<br />
Chrysanthemums like welldrained<br />
and dry soil with<br />
plenty of lime. This means<br />
they grow well with plants like<br />
roses, lavender, bedded irises<br />
and gypsophila as they all like<br />
the same conditions. If you’re<br />
planting tomatoes in a month or<br />
two and want to add some colour<br />
around them you could try<br />
planting chrysanthemums there<br />
too as, again, tomatoes like the<br />
same growing conditions.<br />
Chrysanthemums will grow<br />
well out in the open but they<br />
also like to be planted next to the<br />
house as the soil there typically<br />
has quite a lot of lime from the<br />
foundations of the house.<br />
Another place these colourful<br />
flowers grow well is hanging<br />
baskets. Try planting our<br />
snowland or moonlight varieties<br />
in the middle of a basket and<br />
VIBRANT:<br />
Snowland<br />
(left) and<br />
moonlight<br />
are popular<br />
choices.<br />
then strawberries around the<br />
outside. The strawberries will<br />
hang over the side for easy<br />
picking.<br />
When you’ve got your<br />
seedlings, dig in some compost<br />
or organic matter to the soil first.<br />
This will provide the plants with<br />
some food to keep them going.<br />
Then plant each one about 20cm<br />
apart from the next. Plant merry<br />
mix chrysanthemums a little<br />
further apart at 30cm.<br />
Because they like it quite dry,<br />
they don’t need much watering.<br />
In fact, if they’re watered too<br />
much they become susceptible<br />
to getting rust. Pick off the dead<br />
heads to encourage more flower<br />
growth.<br />
And enjoy your colourful<br />
garden and home.<br />
Seed Potatoes<br />
in store now!<br />
If you are wanting freshly dug potatoes come December, now is the time to start sprouting seed<br />
potatoes ready to plant out in September. Spread the potatoes out in a dry area to allow the sprout<br />
to develop 1-2cm in length. Once they have reached this length, follow the steps below to plant out<br />
in September when the soil temperature has risen a bit more.<br />
Planting seed potatoes<br />
3 Create a trough roughly 15 centimetres in depth and add<br />
Intelligro’s specially formulated Potato Fertiliser at a rate<br />
of 200g per square metre. Mix into the soil. Fill the trough<br />
with the fertilised soil back to 10 centimetres high.<br />
3 Place the seed potatoes 25 centimetres apart in a row<br />
with the sprouts pointing upwards before gently<br />
covering with the remaining soil.<br />
3 Continue to mound the soil around the potato<br />
plant as it grows to around 5 to 10 centimetres<br />
high, as this will protect the potatoes from<br />
greening<br />
and insect damage.<br />
3 Side dress crop with the Potato Fertiliser every 3 to 4<br />
weeks at a rate of 30-40 grams per square metre. Give a<br />
good water after application.<br />
3 Once harvested store in a cool dark place to<br />
retain their freshness. Enjoy with family and<br />
friends at any time!<br />

Fashion<br />
Costume designer set to wow<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A STAMP shop worker will have<br />
her creations thrusted into the<br />
limelight after being selected to<br />
show at the World of Wearable<br />
Art Awards.<br />
The garment Filigreen,<br />
designed by Cushla O’Connell,<br />
39, has been selected for<br />
the Weta Workshop costume<br />
and film section of the show.<br />
“It’s pretty exciting. It’s my<br />
second year. I had a costume on<br />
stage last year, but it’s<br />
still really exciting<br />
to have it on display<br />
to so many people,”<br />
Miss O’Connell (left)<br />
said.<br />
The garments have been kept<br />
strictly under wraps until the<br />
show in Wellington on September<br />
22.<br />
But she said her garment is<br />
pretty extreme and designed to<br />
have an impact.<br />
“We’re under hush, hush, but<br />
I was inspired by the silhouette<br />
they were wearing in the baroque<br />
era. It’s not close fitting<br />
– it has volume so it’ll have presence<br />
on stage from afar.”<br />
She used upholstery fabric for<br />
the one-colour costume and a<br />
flexible wire called fish tape to<br />
create the shape.<br />
EXPRESS YOURSELF: Stamp shop worker Cushla O’Connell works to create wearable creations.<br />
“The construction was full on.<br />
I had to do a lot of construction<br />
before I could move onto the<br />
decorative layer,” Miss O’Connell<br />
said.<br />
This is the second time she’s<br />
been chosen for the WOW show<br />
after her garment was selected<br />
in 2015.<br />
“Last year, I used leather to<br />
create my first garment.<br />
I dabble in all sorts of crafts and<br />
arts. I’m all over the<br />
place – I’m not happy just creating<br />
one type of work,” she said.<br />
The St Albans woman studied<br />
fine arts at Canterbury University<br />
and considers herself more<br />
of a creators than a designer.<br />
“I’m not so much into fashion<br />
but creating. I work at a rubber<br />
stamp shop.”<br />
Miss O’Connell works at<br />
Rubber Stamps by Montarga<br />
where she crafts stamps, creating<br />
images and taking classes.<br />
“It’s nice to have a job that’s<br />
creative.”<br />
Designers were handpicked<br />
from all over to world to make<br />
up the final 133 garments that<br />
will show.<br />
Miss O’Connell is one of five<br />
Christchurch people chosen to<br />
show at this year’s WOW awards.<br />
“Being up against the rest of the<br />
world in a show that keeps growing<br />
each year is scary,” she said.<br />
“I’m just happy to have my<br />
work on stage – you don’t get the<br />
opportunity to show in front of<br />
such renowned people often.”<br />
The competition runs from<br />
September 22 to October 9.<br />

Tackle the skifield road in an Alltrack<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
STAR MEDIA, the company<br />
which I am employed by,<br />
embraces advertising creativity.<br />
We strive for layout and design<br />
which captures reader and viewer<br />
interest. That being the case, I<br />
was mystified when Volkswagen<br />
New Zealand’s recent television<br />
advertising campaign was<br />
withdrawn when some viewers<br />
complained to the Broadcasting<br />
Standards Authority.<br />
The commercial surrounded<br />
Volkswagen’s Passat Alltrack, and<br />
was a light-hearted take involving<br />
a person falling over backwards<br />
on a slippery boat launching<br />
ramp. That ad often had me<br />
smiling when I was preparing<br />
dinner and watching the news. I<br />
was disappointed – world gone<br />
mad – I thought.<br />
That aside, the Alltrack is an<br />
interesting variation on the popular<br />
mid-size wagon and as its<br />
name suggests it has four-wheeldrive<br />
and suspension raised<br />
27mm from the standard Passat.<br />
Volkswagen is no stranger to<br />
this concept, they have long had<br />
models which have just that little<br />
bit extra in terms of ability. The<br />
Alltrack is a cross between an<br />
everyday vehicle and one which<br />
will take you off-road, not so<br />
much in the serious stuff, but it<br />
will get you out of a sticky, low<br />
grip situation, hence the advertisement.<br />
And on that subject, it<br />
also gets a 2.2-tonne tow rating,<br />
so hauling that large boat is a<br />
real probability.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a 2-litre,<br />
turbocharged diesel engine. The<br />
four-cylinder, twin camshaft unit<br />
is rated with 150kW and 400Nm,<br />
the latter punching out its power<br />
all of the way from 1900rpm<br />
to 3300rpm; consequently, it is<br />
a strong, energetic unit which<br />
works through a dual clutch,<br />
direct shift gearbox.<br />
The six-speeder allows the<br />
engine to work freely, between<br />
the two, drive is unimpeded,<br />
the mid-range diesel surge is<br />
evident. Unladen, the Passat<br />
Alltrack will scamper to<br />
100km/h from a standstill in<br />
8sec, and will launch to 120km/h<br />
from 80km/h in 5sec, the turbo<br />
boost offering vivid acceleration.<br />
And that is the beauty with<br />
the big four-cylinder diesels,<br />
there is a lot of grunt on offer,<br />
and it’s no wonder Volkswagen<br />
are confident of high tow<br />
capacity.<br />
Perhaps the most exciting figures<br />
are those of its fuel usage.<br />
Volkswagen claim a 5.2-litre per<br />
100km/h (54mpg) combined<br />
cycle average, that sits well with<br />
VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ALLTRACK: Grip for slippery surfaces.<br />
the 6.6l/100km (43mpg) figure<br />
showing constantly on the dash<br />
panel readout. At 100km/h the<br />
engine sips fuel at the rate of an<br />
amazing 4l/100km (70mpg) with<br />
the engine turning over slowly at<br />
just 1700rpm.<br />
These results are extraordinary<br />
for a big vehicle and certainly<br />
serve to prove how effective diesel<br />
engine manufacturers have<br />
become in terms of efficiency.<br />
I took the test car on the twists<br />
and turns of the Port Hills. It<br />
was only a few weeks ago that I<br />
evaluated the standard Passat,<br />
and was keen to find out if the<br />
extra ride height affected the<br />
Alltrack’s handling ability. I can<br />
report there’s is little noticeable<br />
difference, grip is well promoted<br />
through Continental sport tyres<br />
(245/45 x 18in), while steerage<br />
and body balance are accurate<br />
and controlled respectively.<br />
Of course the suspension<br />
is fully independent and<br />
there is a lot of travel within<br />
those elements; that being the<br />
case, bumps and ruts are well<br />
absorbed and ride comfort has<br />
been given high priority.<br />
I didn’t take the Alltrack offroad<br />
as such, but I did take it<br />
through a short cross-country<br />
track in an endeavour to get<br />
some photos. The suspension<br />
absorbs the uneven surfaces<br />
beautifully, and wheel-to-ground<br />
contact is manufactured so that<br />
• Price – VW Passat Alltrack,<br />
$57,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4777mm; width, 1832mm;<br />
height, 1506mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
1968cc, 140kW, 400Nm,<br />
six-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.2l/100km<br />
utmost traction is gleaned.<br />
I can see the Alltrack being<br />
used as winter sport recreational<br />
transport such as tackling the<br />
skifield access road. It’s a vehicle<br />
that does all the things a typical<br />
sport utility vehicle is capable of,<br />
yet it is packaged in a more traditional<br />
style.<br />
The entire in-cabin area is<br />
manufactured for comfort and is<br />
decked out with all the features<br />
you’d expect from a $57,990 car.<br />
I’ve long embraced the<br />
traditional station wagon,<br />
especially those from Europe.<br />
The Alltrack takes that concept<br />
one step forward and I’m pleased<br />
that it has such a strong foothold<br />
globally (no pun intended). I’ll<br />
be watching with interest how<br />
well it is received here.<br />

CREATING A CHECKLIST WHEN<br />
PLANNING TO BUILD<br />
When building a new home, a budget blow-out can occur<br />
with far more spent than was originally intended.<br />
Exciting new features, fashionable<br />
design trends and having bigger and<br />
better can all be reasons for this, as<br />
can, not determining the true cost<br />
before embarking on the building<br />
project or making changes during the<br />
build.<br />
To help avoid this, carry out some<br />
exploratory research before deciding<br />
on a house design. Visit kitchen and<br />
other outlets to get ideas of building<br />
products available, as well as a<br />
selection of show homes that appeal,<br />
collecting concept plans of interest.<br />
Next draw up a checklist with three<br />
headings: Constraints, Must Haves,<br />
and Desirable Features.<br />
Under constraints, start with a<br />
minimum and maximum budget<br />
figure. This should include the cost<br />
of fences, driveways, paths, and<br />
landscaping.<br />
Compile a list of ‘must haves’<br />
considering each requirement and<br />
whether it is something that is<br />
absolutely essential or just desirable.<br />
An example is a separate laundry. A<br />
compromise might be locating this in<br />
the garage. Another consideration is<br />
the size and positioning of windows.<br />
If you love the sun streaming in,<br />
larger windows might be opted for.<br />
The question is: What do you really<br />
need? A ‘must have’ might be a<br />
smaller easy care section or having<br />
sufficient space to park a caravan<br />
or work vehicle. Inside, it might be<br />
having an office to work from home,<br />
or separating bedrooms and living<br />
space so a shift worker can sleep<br />
during the day.<br />
The ‘desirable features’ list is likely to<br />
be the longest. It might have elements<br />
such as a higher stud (ceiling), larger<br />
doors, cedar panelling, butler’s pantry,<br />
free-standing bath, bi-fold doors, a<br />
covered outdoor entertaining area<br />
with fire or pizza oven, and more<br />
storage space. Unless the budget is<br />
extremely tight, you should be able to<br />
incorporate some ‘desirable features’<br />
into the final design though possibly<br />
not all.<br />
Once your checklist is drawn up, look<br />
again at the concept layouts collected<br />
from show homes visited. Select those<br />
that fit your requirements and will<br />
suit the building site you have chosen<br />
then go out and look at the show<br />
homes once more, taking the checklist<br />
with you.<br />
As you walk through each house,<br />
make comparisons with your<br />
checklist. Weigh up whether any<br />
‘must haves’ might be relegated to the<br />
‘desirable features’ column and vice<br />
versa. Collect extra concept designs<br />
that you like and that might work for<br />
you.<br />
When you have a firm idea of the<br />
size and features for your new home,<br />
talk to the designers who might work<br />
independently or for a particular<br />
building company. Listen to their<br />
suggestions but be firm about what<br />
you can or cannot afford. Ask the<br />
designer to visit your building site so<br />
the home can be positioned to make<br />
the best of the elements then before<br />
finalising the plan, get a firm price or<br />
quotes from a builder.<br />

Five tips for renovators<br />
13<br />
Building or renovating a home to<br />
take you through the generations<br />
can be challenging. Before you<br />
start, here are five things you<br />
should think about:<br />
1. Creating flexible living spaces.<br />
How will your family’s use of living<br />
spaces change over the coming<br />
years? Are the living spaces big<br />
enough to cater to an older or<br />
extended family?<br />
2. Slashing your energy bills.<br />
With energy costs on the rise,<br />
thinking about sustainable design<br />
minimises the impact on the<br />
environment and your monthly<br />
power bill.<br />
3. Creating outdoor living spaces.<br />
People renovating often add a lower<br />
level or build on top. Both options<br />
allow you to create a linkage to<br />
an outdoor setting which can be<br />
designed as an extra “living room”.<br />
Ensure the landscape design is<br />
linked in with the overall design for<br />
the renovation.<br />
4. Future-proofing for new technologies.<br />
You can future proof your home by<br />
designing in smart cabling systems<br />
that act as conduits for future<br />
technologies such as internet over<br />
the TV.<br />
5. Family considerations.<br />
Think about extending bedrooms<br />
and having living spaces for study.<br />
Also, factor in bedroom size:<br />
children might be happy in single<br />
beds when they are young, but<br />
there will come a time when they<br />
want a double bed and extra space<br />
that goes with it.<br />

Making the most of<br />
show home viewing<br />
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for features and<br />
fittings to put into a new home. it can also be helpful for getting a spatial feel<br />
for other aspects of a house design.<br />
Before heading out for a day’s<br />
viewing, conduct an internet search.<br />
identify the locations of show home<br />
villages and the types and sizes of the<br />
various building company’s homes on<br />
display, noting down the square metre size<br />
of each home.<br />
if wanting a high end, architectural<br />
design, focus on the larger homes that<br />
have desirable design features. if at the<br />
entry or middle level of the market,<br />
earmark homes that fit this taking in other<br />
show homes for extra ideas.<br />
allow sufficient time when visiting each<br />
show home, asking for a floor plan that has<br />
room sizes before walking through.<br />
Check also the floor to ceiling height<br />
of the rooms and consider how this feels<br />
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with<br />
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or<br />
more spaciousness created with a higher<br />
stud or exposed ceiling beams.<br />
if doors and windows are taller than<br />
normal, weigh their effect in creating a<br />
more luxurious and spacious feel, against<br />
potential inconvenience for small children,<br />
cleaning and maintenance.<br />
on entering each room, take account of<br />
how much furniture is in each room and<br />
whether there is sufficient space for the<br />
furniture you will have in the room and<br />
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look<br />
too, at storage capacity throughout the<br />
home and whether this is adequate.<br />
in the living areas, consider whether a<br />
lounge separated from the family living<br />
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,<br />
living/lounge area is preferable, and<br />
compare internal kitchens with those that<br />
have natural light.<br />
Look too at the layout of the kitchen:<br />
whether to have an island sink or breakfast<br />
bar where a newspaper can be read, and<br />
children can sit and draw or complete<br />
homework; the positioning of appliances;<br />
and how important having a pantry is.<br />
for the little rooms, equate space<br />
and features desired with that needed,<br />
especially if the budget needs to be sharp.<br />
it might be nice to have a large walk-in<br />
shower with double shower heads but is<br />
this just fanciful and will the extra cleaning<br />
annoy you long term. a laundry in the<br />
garage is also more economical though a<br />
separate laundry may be handier.<br />
Bring the garage size into the equation<br />
also. as these vary considerably, assess<br />
the actual measurements of each garage<br />
viewed comparing this with the space<br />
needed for your motor vehicles and other<br />
items to be stored there. if a good number<br />
of toys will be housed there, it may be<br />
sensible to increase the size of this area of<br />
the home.<br />
By imagining what you need, want and<br />
will have in your new home, you will be in<br />
a better position to confidently choose a<br />
design that works for you.<br />
