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 />

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 />

most… amazing coconut crisps<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 />

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 />

Pay my rates<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 />

On the roads this week<br />

Repairs to the Waimakariri Gorge Road Bridge are planned with stop and go traffic controls operating.<br />

Footpath fault repairs and resealing work will take place on Bronte Way. Gravelling and reshaping work<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 />

SELWYN TIMES<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 />

Driven<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 />

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 />
