DETERMINED: Darfield teenager Kylie Schnell, 17, isn’t letting diabetes stop her entering the Coast to Coast.
Teen’s tough Coast to Coast bid
WHEN DARFIELD teenager
Kylie Schnell lines up for the
Coast to Coast she will be
facing an even bigger challenge
than the rest of the field in this
tough event.
The 17-year-old was
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
three years ago and during the
race she will need to regularly
monitor her blood glucose
levels to make sure they
don’t spike too high or drop
too low.
Kylie is determined not to let
the condition limit her active,
adventurous lifestyle and she
has entered the Kathmandu
Coast to Coast to show other
young people with diabetes that
it shouldn’t hold them back.
“I want to show them they
can still compete in the big
things, it’s not impossible, and
it’s not stopping me from doing
it,” she said.
The Darfield High School
student was one of two
winners in the city council’s
Kathmandu Coast to Coast free
entry competition.
She wrote a compelling
argument about why the 243km
Coast to Coast was on her
bucket list and won the $595
two-day event entry fee for a
high school student.
Hearing she was a winner was
fantastic, she said.

A FIRE which burned through
100ha of hillside near Arthur’s Pass
last week and four more fires on
Saturday are suspected to be the
work of an arsonist.
Now firefighters are hoping they
don’t strike again this weekend.
Like the first fire, which broke out
on Monday last week and took more
than two days to put out, the latest
fires were in the area of Mt Horrible.
They were spotted by a passing
train driver just after midnight.
They ranged in size from 50m by
20m up to more than a hectare.
Department of Conservation
deputy rural fire officer Bruce
James said a rural fire investigator
had determined the fires had been
deliberately lit, and arson was
suspected.
“There are a lot of tired firefighters
and now some upset firefighters
[that have had to] keep on going
back there,” Mr James said.
“It’s a huge burden on the taxpayer
fighting these fires – lots of
helicopters, lots of personnel, it’s
quite expensive.”
The first fire had cost in excess of
$150,000 and while the bill hadn’t
come in for the latest four yet, it
would be in the tens of thousands.
“We’re hoping he doesn’t strike
this Friday night, Saturday morning,”
Mr James said.

New motorway
beacon for rural burglars
• By Tom Doudney
CONSTRUCTION of the
Southern Motorway could be
driving an increase in rural
burglaries between Weedons
and Christchurch.
The district council published
a message from police on its
Facebook page on Friday,
asking residents to be mindful
of security around their homes
and properties, to secure
firearms, remove keys from
vehicles and lock them.
The message said the
recent increase in burglaries
in the area could be related
to the increased presence of
high-value equipment and
machinery associated with the
construction of the Southern
Motorway extension.
It also advised people to close
and lock gates, talk to their
neighbours and consider other
security precautions such as
CCTV cameras.
Sergeant Alex Pickover said
the increase in burglaries
had been around the area of
UNWANTED ATTENTION: Construction of the Southern Motorway extension has been
blamed for an increase in burglaries between Weedons and Christchurch.
Maddisons Rd and Newtons
Rd. Properties targeted had
been lifestyle blocks with
electrical items, such as
televisions, taken.
There had also been two
burglaries of business premises
between Sunday night and
Monday morning with
the Three Arrows dairy in
Prebbleton having had about
$11,000 worth of cigarettes
taken, while Lincoln Coffee
Culture had about $500 in cash
taken.
Both burglaries took place
while the businesses were closed
and CCTV footage from Coffee
Culture had been provided to
police.
The offender or offenders
had broken in through a back
door at Three Arrows and
through a front door at Coffee
Culture.
Sergeant Pickover said
businesses were advised to not
leave money in the till overnight
and to consider improving their
security measures.
•If you see something
suspicious note the
registration numbers and
descriptions of vehicles
and occupants if possible,
and report this to police by

In Brief
FIRE RESTRICTIONS
Tourists, who were unaware of
fire restrictions in Selwyn, lit a
bonfire on the river bed in the
Rakaia Gorge on Thursday, which
the Hororata crew asked them to
extinguish. Fire restrictions were
introduced throughout the district
on Wednesday. The tourists had
to put the fire out with shovels at
about 10pm. The fire spokesman
said it was a reminder to everyone
to check what the fire restrictions
were. Extreme fire weather was
forecast to continue into today.
The district council has appealed
for people to take care to avoid any
activity which could cause a fire to
start as fires ignite easily, spread
rapidly and can be very difficult to
suppress.
UNIVERSITY ROLES FILLED
Lincoln University has filled four
senior roles. The new appointments
include chief academic officer
Bruce McKenzie, chief operating
officer Philippa Jones, chief financial

of human resources Emma

filled, including chief commercial

Disruption at
intersection
near airport
MAJOR roadworks will be
carried out on the Russley
Rd/Memorial Ave temporary
roundabout this month, as work
on the $112 million Russley Rd
upgrade continues.
Lane closures and other traffic
management will be in place
from 7pm Friday until 6am
Monday to allow contractors to
reconstruct the road through the
intersection.
The NZ Transport Agency advises
motorists to expect delays
and allow an extra 20min travel
time.
“Traffic will be closely monitored
to try to reduce delays,
however, people should plan
ahead and allow extra travel
time, especially if they are heading
to Christchurch International
Airport,” acting Transport
Agency highway manager Colin
MacKay said.
“Motorists are reminded to
keep to the speed limit and
drive with extra care and attention
while these changes are in
place.”
The planned works are
weather dependent and may be
postponed until the following
weekend if necessary.
Diabetic teen takes on Coast to Coast

“Getting the entry paid has
made a huge difference,” she
said.
The other winner was Mark
Dickson, of Sumner.
Kylie has followed the iconic
multi-sport event for years,
heading with her family to the
Waimakariri River gorge to
watch competitors climb out of
their kayaks on wobbly legs and
head for the final stage.
“Seeing how happy they are
and the awesome atmosphere
made me want to experience that
for myself. It will be fantastic
to complete it. Some people
wouldn’t know what it’s like to
manage their diabetes when
they’re sporty, but if you can get
your head around it and you can
manage it, it’s a pretty awesome
feeling,” she said.
She ran her first half marathon
last year and has taken part in
the Spring Challenge women’s
team adventure race for the past
two years.
She is now training six days a
week for her first solo event.
She loves kayaking and is confident
on her bike but says the

Kylie’s mum Janelle Schnell,
also a keen multi-sport competitor,
said people had heard
about Type 2 diabetes, which
could be triggered by diet and
lifestyle factors, but most didn’t
understand Type 1 diabetes, an
auto-immune condition where
the body attacks the cells that
produce insulin.
While Ms Schnell had some
concerns about her daughter
competing, she fully supported
her.
“She knows that you can’t let
diabetes rule your life, you’ve still
got to go out and do things. She’s
always had this passion to get out
there,” she said.

ambulance was immediately sent
to her house.
She spent some time in hospital
but since then had managed
the disease herself, with help
from Christchurch Hospital’s

At first she was shocked by the

Half of eligible young voters enrolled
• By Tom Doudney
OLDER RESIDENTS could
have a disproportionate say
in deciding who represents
Selwyn in Parliament after
this year’s election, if current
voter enrolment is anything to
go by.
Of eligible Selwyn electorate
residents aged between 18 and
24, 62.71 per cent are enrolled
as voters.
Latest Electoral Commission
statistics show 4145 of the
estimated 6610 eligible Selwyn
residents in the age group are
enrolled. That compares to
65.51 per cent of 18 to 24-yearolds
nationwide.
The age group with the
highest percentage of enrolled
voters in Selwyn is the 65 - 69
group, with 2562 out of about
2660, 97.27 per cent. The
nationwide figure is 97.25 per
cent.
Overall, 47,640 of about
53,040 eligible Selwyn residents,
89.82 per cent, are registered
to vote. That compares
to a nationwide percentage of
89.52 per cent.
From the age of 35 up, all
age groups have eligible voter
enrolment of greater than 90
per cent.

Lincoln High’s big music moment
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LINCOLN HIGH School will
have a strong connection to
March’s big music festival in
Selwyn.
Former student Alex Hardy,
18, and current students Courtney
Phelan and Nicole Taylor
will perform the opening act
at the Selwyn Sounds concert
– the biggest gig of their music
careers.
The festival will be headlined
by The Jordan Luck Band,
Mi-Sex, Dragon, Annie Crummer,
Sharon O’Neill, Margaret
Urlich, Debbie Harwood and
Jason Kerrison.
Alex, Courtney and Nicole
haven’t nailed down their set
list yet. However, Alex said she
will be looking to do a duet
with Nicole of Million Reasons
by Lady Gaga, and possibly
some of singer-songwriter Matt
Corby’s songs.
“Me and Nicole have been
friends since we were little. Our
mums are best friends,” Alex
said.
Encouraged by her former
guitar teacher, Dave Morris,
Alex first began performing at
about the age of 10 in a talent
quest at Northlands Shopping
Centre.
Since then, some of her singing
highlights have included
singing at a Guy Fawkes display
in Rolleston and auditioning
for New Zealand television
music competition the X Factor
in 2012.
“I got up to meet the judges,
but they said I was just too
young.”
But she said if the competition
came back to New Zealand,
she would look at giving it
another go.
Lincoln High head of department
for music Darren
Webber said the opportunity
for the students to perform
first came about when he got in
touch with the Selwyn Sounds
organiser because the festival
planned to use the school’s
grounds for car parking.
“(The students) are pretty
keen. They are the type of
people I would go to if we have
something happening at school

Pool fence
changes
announced
RECENT CHANGES to national
legislation on swimming pool
fencing could affect Selwyn
residents.
The changes, introduced on January
1, focus on ensuring physical
barriers are in place to prevent unsupervised
children from accessing
pools and aim to reduce the number
of drownings.
Under the new rules, larger
residential pools and spa pools that
can be filled to at least 400mm must
have fencing or features to prevent
children under five from getting
into the pool. These rules also apply
to temporary and inflatable pools,
and pools at motels, camp grounds
or other places without lifeguards at
all times.
Those whose pool fencing already
complied with the old requirements
don’t need to make any changes.
Spa pools with a water surface
area of 5 sq m or less, that are at
least 760mm above ground with no
climbable way to get in and have
a complying lockable safety cover
won’t need to provide additional
fencing.
Pool owners will need to have
their pool fencing inspected every
three years by the district council or
a registered independently-qualified
pool inspector.
Build your next home
with Artisan Homes
Your local registered Master Builder
Home building is as much about understanding the
landscape and the client as it is the plan and the
materials. From our office in Rolleston, Canterbury our
small company has built a huge range of homes that are
distinctive, stylish, durable and cost-effective.
From clever, compact homes to three bedroom townhouses
to large scale, expansive country style homes, our work
spans all types of house building.
Since 2004 we have carefully built, among other things, a
reputation for constructing high quality houses.
An artisan is someone who is highly skilled in a particular
expertise, a hands-on craftsman – someone who is
passionate about the quality results they produce.
With decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes
have worked in all areas of residential construction. There
are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom
home compared to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our
overall approach remains the same.
While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted
home building we also are renowned for getting the right
result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult
access, looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of
life for us. All our tradespeople are qualified and registered
or licensed. Our abilities to design and build a range of
houses have increased over the years, as has our skill and
overall capacity. While we don’t have the franchises of our
larger competitors we do have their networks and buying
power. Which means our clients receive the most costeffective
results possible.
At Artisan Homes, our passion is building homes for
people who appreciate the work that goes into what will,
ultimately, be a home they love to live in.

New Zealand Order of Merit in the
New Year Honours. How did you
feel when you found out?
I was astonished; I thought they
must have had the wrong person.
But when I realised I felt very, very
privileged. I found out about two
months before the announcement.
When you’re told, you have to keep it
confidential and that was the hardest
part, I couldn’t tell anybody!
You received the honour for
your work with the inmates
at Christchurch Women’s,
Paparua Men’s and
Rolleston prisons as
chaplain. Can you tell
me what your work
involved?
It involved visiting
the prison, meeting
with inmates, doing
sacraments,
and Sunday
services. Just
really trying to
assist inmates
in getting
some sense
of their own

spirituality. A lot of people would say
they believed in some sort of faith,
but a lot don’t know how to bring it
into daily living. More than 50 per
cent of women in prison are Maori,
and because of my involvement I was
able to meet them at that level and
also bring in people from their own
iwi or kaumatua to come in a meet
with them and do their whakapapa
with them. I worked in Paparua and
Rolleston prisons as well, but my
heart was in the women’s prison because
what we need to do, I believe,
is find alternatives to imprisonment.
Now I’m not talking about them not
taking responsibility for criminal
activity, but I do think there are
probably better ways of handling it
than breaking up families, children
going into care, and then that whole
damage being very difficult to repair
when the mothers come out of
prison. Pillars say that the families
do the sentence, and that’s absolutely
true.

(old) uniform while there is still a demand for it.

with New Year Honour
How did you come into the
role?
I had been very involved in
the community in the Christian
family movement. Then I moved
onto working as a volunteer for
Whakatata House, I was volunteering
there for some years.
Then I got involved in starting up
the restorative justice outreach
in Christchurch. I was asked if I
would take on the role as prison
chaplain and with a little bit of
trepidation agreed to do that and
it went from there. It was while I
was a prison chaplain that I got
involved with Pillars, a charity
for children of prisoners, because
my husband, Ray, and I were
nominated to be the kaumatua
for Pillars.
Did you ever expect to be doing
it for 33 years?
No, I didn’t. I had a few times
thought I would retire but I had
a project I really wanted to get
established and that was for
Tukutuku panels to be put up in
the prison chapel, specifically the
ones that are called the stairway
to heaven. It seemed to me the
chapel was very mono-cultural
and I thought it should reflect
something of the lives of the
women who worshipped in there
as well. I used to say to the prison
– because there was often difficulty
with finance – if you want
to get rid of me, get the panels
done, I’ll leave then (laughs). The
day the panels went up, that’s the
day I retired. I have to give credit
to Father Jim Consedine. He invited
me to consider chaplaincy,
he is the one who supported
prison chaplaincy in Christchurch,
and he was prison chaplain
himself for many years.
Do you miss it?
I do miss it, I miss the women.
I am a kaiwhakamana, who are
mainly Maori elders, and the
Government set up a scheme
for elders to be able to visit
any prison in the country and
support their people. That system
means these elders are available
on request or available to visit
the prison, and meet with
people, so I will go back as
kaiwhakamana.
SIBLINGS:
Both Miriama
and Ward
Kamo work in
television.
Is there anything that has really
stuck with you during your
work?
The care that was extended
to me. That’s what I found in
the prison, the majority of the
women would care for each other,
then staff do the same. There
were times where I asked myself
who was ministering who. It matured
me, expanded my thinking
and expanded my heart.
And you live near Little River
don’t you?
I live in Birdlings Flat, we
recycled a house off the red zone
from Burwood and set it up on
a property my husband had inherited.
We lived at Birdlings Flat
before our first child was born,
and when we realised schools
and doctors weren’t that close,
we bought in Brighton. We lived
there right up until the earthquake
meant we had to move
back to Birdlings. I love it here.
And one of your daughters,
Miriama Kamo, is quite a
familiar face for many Kiwis.
She is, we’ve got used to it. She
is very good at what she does,
what you see on screen is Miriama
as she is. That is the person
that she is and that’s what we’re
proud of.
Did you ever think when she
was young that she would be
fronting shows such as Sunday
and Kiwi Living?
No (laughs). Miriama’s shy.
Most people won’t believe that.
She was so shy that she wouldn’t
talk and she would hide behind
my skirt if anyone said hello to
her.
What do your other children
do?
We’ve got five – the oldest, our
son Ward, is on Native Affairs.
Our eldest daughter Michaela
works in Tauranga for the Bay
of Plenty Health Board, then
Amos, works for the New Zealand
Transport Agency. Then
our youngest, Sian, works for an
insurance company in Auckland.
We have lots of grandchildren –
13.
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Dunedin of
which I’m very proud. If my
husband is watching Canterbury
play Otago he has to watch it
with my blue and gold scarf
hanging across the television.
So what brought you up to
Christchurch?
That was my big OE! A
girlfriend and I were going to
go overseas, but we hadn’t seen
much of New Zealand so we
started off in Queenstown. Then
my mother said we want you in
Christchurch (because they had
moved there) for your 21st. So the
very next day after my 21st we
went to a nightclub/coffee
bar. And here was this musician
who owned it and that was the
end of it. A friend invited us
to meet him there on a Friday
night, so that’s when I really met
Ray. I’m still threatening to go
overseas!

Too many ignore seat belts
• By Bridget Rutherford
MORE PEOPLE are being
killed on Canterbury roads
because they are not wearing
seat belts.
Fifty-two of the people
killed on Canterbury roads
from 2012-2016 were not
wearing seat belts – the third
highest in the country.
That followed 61 in Auckland,
and 56 in Bay of Plenty.
The numbers were released
yesterday.
Police will up their enforcement
and focus more on
educating people to wear seat
belts this year as a result.
It comes two weeks after
Cole Troy Hull, Samuel James
Drost and Lily Frances Moore,
all 15, were killed when the
car they were passengers in
failed to take a corner on
Harts Rd near Leeston. They
were not wearing seat belts.
The 14-year-old unlicensed
driver was seriously injured,
while Alex Brown, the only
one wearing a seat belt, received
minor injuries.
Canterbury road policing
manager Inspector Al Stewart
said the numbers were
“absolutely unacceptable.”
He said the deaths of the
three teenagers was a reminder
seat belts reduced the
risk of death by 50 per cent for
front seat passengers and 75
per cent for those in the back
seat.
“We know the young guy
who walked away from that
crash walked away because he
was wearing his seat belt. If
that doesn’t send a message to
people who are in similar situations,
I’m baffled,” Inspector
Stewart said.
The number of people killed
in Canterbury who were not
wearing their seat belts had
increased from eight in 2012
to 15 last year.
Nine males and six females
killed in Canterbury crashes
last year were not wearing seat
belts. In 2015, there were 11
males and four females killed,
and in 2014, four males and
two females were killed while
not wearing seat belts.
Inspector Stewart said
the increase in the number
of females killed when not
wearing their seat belt was
concerning.
“It’s so simple to do, it takes
a couple of seconds to make
yourself a lot safer.”

Readers respond to
Canterbury University
Professor Simon Kingham’s
view that population
growth will make a
passenger rail service
between Selwyn and
Christchurch vital
Vicki Krom, of Lincoln –
Yes, I would love to see a rail link
introduced between Selwyn and
Christchurch. I am currently
a bus user but, at times, the
delays are ridiculous because of
the volume of cars on the road,
whereas a rail link would always
run to schedule and not be prone
to hold ups of any kind. Hopefully
it would encourage more
people to use public transport if
the service was dependable, thus
reducing the volume of cars on
the road, which can only be a
good thing. Bring it on, I say!
Lorraine and Ian Scott, of
Rolleston – Yes, rail into the
city from the Selwyn area is a
great plan for our future. We use
public transport often as it’s so
easy – no parking worries and
less car congestion.

Sensei lives up to Jonny’s memory
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THERE WAS something special
about Sensei – Michael Pitman
knew it from the minute he set
eyes on the year-old colt.
Three years ago, Mr Pitman’s
son, Jonny, took his own life,
aged 28.
Something about the yearling,
which he came across while
visiting sales in Sydney, brought
back memories of Jonny.
“He reminded me of my boy
when I saw him – he’s strong,
dark, good-looking,”
Mr Pitman
(left) said.
“I always wanted
to have a horse
good enough to
name after my
son.”
Although Mr Pitman has
raised dozens of horses, he has
never given one a stable nickname.
But when he goes out to work
with the colt, he calls him Jonny.
Last week, his faith in the
horse paid off when Sensei won
at the Waikouaiti New Year’s
Day races.
It was an emotional moment
for the Pitman family, and for
many others in the racing community
who knew Jonny.
Mr Pitman said it hit home
when he heard commentator
OUT AHEAD: Sensei won his maiden race on New Year’s Day at
Waikouaiti.
PHOTO: WAYNE HUDDLESTON
Matt Cross, who knew Jonny,
announce Sensei had reached
the line “with a little help from
above.”
The name Sensei, which is
the Japanese title for a martial
arts teacher, was chosen
to honour Jonny. He had
represented New Zealand in judo
and tae kwon do, and spent time
in Japan training under martial
arts masters.
The first name the family
considered was Pitbull, the nickname
Jonny was given on the
rugby league field, but that name
was taken.
Mr Pitman runs the Pitman
Racing Stables with his son,
Matt. He said they had originally
planned to have a three-way
partnership with Jonny.
“I miss my son so badly, it
doesn’t matter. Not only did he
live here with us, we worked
together too,” he said.
One of the horses he and Jonny
trained together, No Emotion,
also raced on New Year’s Day,
finishing third in the Waikouaiti
Cup.
He said Jonny had been
very intelligent and good at
almost everything he did, but
had struggled with depression.
Trying to come to terms
with his son’s death had
been incredibly difficult, he
said.
“For the first six months not a

wedding.
day went by without the old ‘why
or what if’,” he said.
“But I won’t judge what my son
choose to do. I hate what it did
to us, but at the end of the day it
was his decision.”
He said there was a big
stigma around discussing suicide,
but he hoped that would
change.
“There are so many
suicides each year but it hardly
gets a mention. I don’t have
trouble talking about it because
the more it’s spoken about
hopefully the less it happens.”
On Saturday, Sensei raced
at Trentham, finishing a hardfought
fourth, auguring well for
the rest of the Wellington Cup
carnival.
Mr Pitman was confident he
would do well.
Even as a youngster the colt
had a good head, a good eye and
a great walk, as well as racing
blood from his grandmother,
Australian champion Canny
Lass.
“He’s a lovely horse with a real
future,” he said.

Harwood in tune with health for
Debbie Harwood will perform with fellow When
The Cat’s Away singers Annie Crummer and
Margaret Urlich, as well as Sharon O’Neill at the
Selwyn Sounds concert in March. She spoke to
Tom Doudney about her latest endeavours
DEBBIE HARWOOD has
always been interested in helping
people heal but soon she will be
expressing that desire through a
form other than music.
The former When The Cats
Away singer recently qualified as
a hypnotherapist after completing
a two-month course in San
Francisco and is working on
setting up her own practice this
year.
Come March 4 though, her
focus will be on using her vocal
talents to woo the crowd at
Selwyn Sounds when she performs
on a bill stacked with Kiwi
rock royalty. Also playing will be
Dragon, Mi-Sex, the Jordan Luck
Band and Jason Kerrison, among
others.
Harwood said herself, Crummer,
Urlich and O’Neill had
strong chemistry which had been
key to their success.
“Seeing as we have been
making music since the early 80s,
and the 70s in Sharon’s situation,
we have been right through
people’s lives with them as well,”
she said.
“I never ever, ever take that
for granted, I will always get on
stage with enormous respect for
that, that those people have been
through lots of different things,
great things and sad things, with
our music as a soundtrack to
those things.”
Harwood had been interested
in hypnotherapy since undergoing
it herself in her early 20s,
when it helped her overcome
asthma and other health problems
which were affecting her
singing.
However, she only made the
decision to train as a hypnotherapist
early last year.
“I love being able to help people
make changes to core beliefs so
I literally woke up at 8am in the
morning with this feeling, by
10am that morning I had booked
my flights and registered with the
school in San Francisco and off I
went,” she said.
“I am quite impulsive and
when I get a strong feeling about
something I will act on it.”
Harwood has been plagued by
health problems throughout her
career and in 2009 had to seek
more conventional medical help.
Seriously ill at the age of 49, she
underwent open heart surgery
at St George’s Hospital to fix a
failed mitral valve and hole in her
heart.
“One of the funniest things

“I was looking at the ward
doctor and he had long hair
and blue scrubs and his name
tag said David Bowie – that was
his actual name. I am pretty sure
I said to him at some point: ‘I
think your best work was Life on
Mars, David’. He was a musician
too.”
Her health was now better than
it had been for more than 20
years and felt she had received “a
second go at life.”
Harwood has just recorded a
new song called Isolated which
she hopes to release in the next
two months. She plans on recording
four more songs but is not
expecting to put out a full album.
She was looking forward to
playing on the same bill with the
other Selwyn Sounds artists, such
as Dragon which she had a long
association with.
Former Dragon keyboardist
Alan Mansfield now plays with
Harwood, O’Neill, Crummer
and Urlich, and Harwood had
been good friends with another
former Dragon keyboardist Paul
Hewson.
In fact Hewson’s death from
a drug overdose in 1984, when
he was 33, had a profound effect
on her career. Having just left
Dragon, Hewson was staying
with Harwood and her flatmate
in Auckland at the time.

on both sides of the Tasman
HORORATA’S Dominic
Brettkelly has strung
together solid back-to-back
performances in both Australia
and New Zealand.
The 17-year-old competed in
top junior tournaments over the
past fortnight, finishing seventh
in both.
Brettkelly begun the year by
finishing seventh overall at the
Victorian Junior Masters in
Melbourne.
Past champions in Melbourne
include current world No 1
Jason Day who won the tournament
in 2005 and was also
world junior amateur champion
at the time. Two-time Australian
Open winner and former
top 20 player Aaron Baddeley
also won the event in 1998.
Some big names have competed
in the event without
tasting success as well. The 2013
Masters champion and former
world No 1 Adam Scott finished
in the top five at the tournament
four years in a row from
the age of 15.
Brettkelly opened the tournament
in strong fashion with
back-to-back rounds of 72 to
be among the top contenders
at the halfway point. A third
round score of 76 put him out
of contention. However, a final

round 72 topped off what was a
reasonably successful week.
He returned to New Zealand
last week to play in the North
Island under-19 championship
at St Andrews in Hamilton.
The teenager was outside of
the top 10 going into the third

round scores of 73 and 75. He
left his best until last with a
final round of 70 to finish in a
tie for seventh, two shots off the

Film to honour WW1 soldiers, horses
• By Bridget Rutherford
IT WAS July, 1914 and World
War 1 had broken out in Europe.
New Zealand men were being
called on to enlist and fight in
the war with allied troops.
Many thought it would be an
adventure and a chance to see
the world. Others believed the
war would be over within six
months.
Among the hundreds of thousands
were rural men from high
country stations – some of them
with their horses – who joined
the mounted rifles regiments.
They served at Gallipoli and
went to Egypt with their horses
to train, before serving in the
successful Sinai and Palestine
campaigns against the Turks
from 1916-18 and across the
Middle East.
While the Gallipoli campaign
is taught in school history classes
and well known to many, the
peril of the country’s mounted
rifles brigades was not – until
now.
Hawarden man Terry King
is spearheading a team making
a film about the rural men and
their horses who went to serve in
World War 1.
The Cold Footed Mounts will
focus on four Canterbury men
who went to serve in the Canterbury
Mounted Rifles Regiment,
and the bond they formed with
their horses.
Mr King said these stories had
never been told before.
“After a disastrous campaign
[Gallipoli], they had to do it all
again. There’s a lot of history
there, it’s all been hidden.”
Mr King, who was in the
army’s Territorial Force for 10
years before working for the
United Nations, said the idea
came from his great grandfather,
Henry Coppell, who served in
the Canterbury Mounted Rifles
Regiment.
After reading through Mr
Coppell’s diaries from when he
served in the Middle East during
the war, Mr King realised how
little people knew of these men
and their stories.
PRODUCERS: Stunt double Dayna Grant and Terry King
working on the film.
Many were respected soldiers,
but they were starved and lost
teeth because of the food they
had to eat, he said.
In spite of that, they all took
extremely good care of their
horses, he said.
“A lot of the family did not
know that. He [Mr Coppell]
BIGGEST EVER january
ROLLING: A
preview for
the film was
shot near
Amberley.
SOLDIERS: Troops of the Anzac Mounted Division with

never showed that diary until
after his death.”
After further research into
the regiments, Mr King decided
those mens’ stories needed to be
told.
The film’s core team would
consist of Mr King, director
Charlie Haskell, assistant director
Darren Simmonds, Hollywood
stunt double and producer
Dayna Grant and lead script
writer Tanya Wheeler.
Ms Grant was Lucy Lawless’
stunt double in Xena: Warrior
Princess.
She had since been a stunt
double for Hollywood stars such
as Charlize Theron, Gwyneth
Paltrow and Tilda Swinton,
appearing on Mad Max: Fury
Road, The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe and Snow White and
the Huntsman.
Ms Wheeler was currently
a script writer for the Power
Rangers Dino Charge television
series, while Mr Haskell directs
it.
Mr King said everyone who
was involved in making the film
had connections to the mounted
rifles regiments.
There would be four lead and
six secondary actors, and the
team was looking for young,
fresh actors to star in it.
Mr King said a lot of the
shooting would take place in
North Canterbury, with the
trailer to be filmed this month
and next at Waipara’s Weka Pass
Railway.
Other scenes would be filmed
in the North Island, and a South
Australian desert near Adelaide.
The project comes after Mr
King organised the 100 Years,
100 Horses Ride on Anzac Day
in 2015.
It saw 100 uniformed riders
from New Zealand and Australia
ride from North Canterbury’s
The Peaks Hall into Waikari on
the day.
It was the first time New Zealand
and Australian riders had
ridden side by side in an Anzac
Day parade.
Mr King said it was a massive
job to organise the ride, and he
suffered two minor heart attacks
following it.
“I thought I had indigestion.”
His wife Nikki had since been
keeping a close eye on him, he
said.
Mr King also organised a similar
ride on Anzac Day in Kaikoura
last year with 60 horses,
and hopes to have another from
Burnham to Christchurch next
year.
Ten main horses, which belong
to both Mr King and some
friends, will be used for filming
with much of it done in front of a
green screen.
They were currently being
trained to become used to the
equipment, sounds and filming.
He said they hoped to have
the 120min film completed to be
screened on November 11, 2018,
to mark the end of World War 1.
The crew had set up a Givealittle
page to help raise the funds to
make the film.
They hope to raise about
$20,000 before using the film
trailer to apply for major funding
to complete the project.
“We need to know our history,”
Mr King said.

Kim’s
Fashion Quarterly
from Kim Taylor —Viva La Moda
Sale Time & New Arrivals!!!
it’s that time of year where retail stores
are going into sale mode to make way
for the next season’s exciting arrivals –
this can be a great time to get yourself
a bargain!
it is always wise to have a beautiful
dress that fits you perfectly in the
wardrobe ready for any last
minute invitations, so now
can be the time to get that
dress you have had your eye
on at a discounted price.
We have pictured the cute
and quirky black & white
spot Vivid dress which is now
on sale for $104.
Staying with the ever popular
black & white theme, we have
shown the Vargo assymetric skirt
(now $122) which looks amazing
when teamed up with the coral
Vargo top (non sale $139). The
tassle necklace is from Kaikoura’s
My Tassle range and is $39.
Another stunning dress now
on sale is the red poppy print
Macjays dress (now $125)This
dress is very flattering as it
is loose fitting but still gives
some shape to the body. The
red tassle necklace finishes
this outfit ($39).
We have pictured the
pretty and fresh Ivyblu Leah
dress which is now on sale
for $159. This dress is again
a flattering fit as is forgiving
through the middle area and
is very versatile so could take you
anywhere. This dress looks equally
good dressed up with heels or
dressed down with flats. The Ivyblu
label is very popular and is NZ made,
made right here in Christchurch.
New stock will start to trickle in the
doors of fashion stores beginning
now and by march stores will be
taking on a new season’s feel.
Just arrived is the stunning
macjays lace dress in
navy. This is a fitted but
flattering style with lace sleeves
and the longer below knee length will please many.
This is priced at $275 and its classic style means that
it could be your go to dress for many seasons as it
won’t date.
All of the styles featured are available at Viva La
Moda right now so come on in and have a browse.
As women we know that if we look good, we feel
good, so don’t delay, come and
find your perfect outfit.

Dig out your 80s
Annabelle Dick looks at
this year’s fashion trends
THINK GRACE Jones, think
Madonna, think Prince.
The 80s are back with a
vengeance, whether you like it
or not.
This year
will see the
comeback
of chic 80s
wear – even
designer
Marc Jacobs
recently held
an exclusive
party aptlythemed
Grace Jones
“Chic 80s” in
ode to the 2017 trend.
That coincided nicely with
his resort ‘17 collection that
features ruffles galore and
coats more embellished than a
Bowie number.
Even reality TV star and
fashion icon Kim Kardashian
is up with the play – she was
seen sporting an 80s shoulderpad
blazer only last week.
FUN: Try playing with
chunky belts and embroided
clothing for a touch of
the 80s trend.

FRIVOLOUS: Sleeves will
come in all shapes and sizes
this year – try a bell sleeve for
a chic 80s look.

POP: Make a statement by
experimenting with colour and
texture.
PHOTO: MARC JACOBS
EYE-CATCHING: This year’s Pantone colour palette is light, bright and playful.
Several designers and fashion
forecasters have said 2017 is the
year of frivolity. Bell sleeves, flared
trousers and ruffled tops are all
expected to make a strong feature
on this year’s fashion scene.
This year’s Pantone Fashion
Colour Report, which features
the top 10 shades seen on the
runway, back up those predictions.
The palette is bright and
vivid – just like the 80s.
In 2016, off-shoulder dresses
topped the list of women’s best
performing fashion trends. Along
with flounces and Bardot styles,
they warmed women up to what’s
going to be an even bigger year
for sleeve shapes. Leg-of-mutton,
flared, bell, extra-long and puffed
are definitely styles worth experimenting
with.
Power dressing is also back in
fashion too so incorporate the
trend into your work wardrobe
by pulling out the shoulder pad
blazer and pairing it with tailored
slacks or wide-leg trousers.
In a day and age where less is
more, people have been moving
towards a minimalistic look with
classic tailoring, muted colours
and high-quality fabrics.
The 80s, however, were an
era for bright colours, oversized
clothes and accessorised outfits
due to the pop culture boom.
But don’t let the bold 80s trend
ruffle you the wrong way, find
ways to adapt certain pieces
instead of jumping in head first
into the trend – no one wants
to look like they’ve just stepped
out of a Girls Just Want To Have
Fun video clip. Pair a bell-sleeved
blouse with boyfriend jeans as
a subtle nod to the 80s, or try a
faux fur coat on those chilly days.
Consider flared trousers, wide
belts, embellished and embroided
jackets and metallics too. They’re
expected to be big on the catwalk
and streets in 2017.
After seasons of body-con
dresses, cut-out wear and athleisure,
this year you can relax. Be
playful with your outfits, mix and
match colours and textures, but
most importantly, dress in what
makes you feel good.

E-Class spearheads Mercedes-Benz charge
• By Ross Kiddie
LUXURY VEHICLE sales figures
for 2016 once again show the
dominance Mercedes-Benz has in
that part of the market. It finished
in No 1 position with 20 per cent
growth over the previous year.
A lot of that can be attributed to
the extensive line-up within the
Mercedes-Benz brand, and the raft
of new models which have landed
in the last couple of years.
One of the most recent new
arrivals is the E-Class – a series
which could loosely be termed
the mainstream model within
the brand, taking into account,
it also claimed the New Zealand
Motoring Writers’ Guild Car of
the Year Award for 2016.
The E-Class lands here in
multiple specification levels with
several engine options – diesel
and petrol – the range starts at
$99,900 for a 2-litre petrol-powered
model.
The evaluation car sits more
towards the top end of the series
at $149,800, and its 3-litre, V6
turbocharged diesel engine
is rated by Mercedes-Benz at
190kW. In true diesel fashion the
turbo boost helps to produce a
magnificent 620Nm of torque.
Bear in mind the compression
ignition engine was invented by
German automotive pioneer Karl
MERCEDES-BENZ E350D: New Zealand Car of the Year for 2016.
Rudolf Diesel, and German engine
manufacturers have worked hard
over the years to produce high
horsepower, quiet running, clean
burning engines with an emphasis
on fuel efficiency.
The 2987cc unit in the E-Class
impresses in all these areas.
Some of the statistics provide
interesting reading, the E-Class
in this form will make 100km/h
from a standstill in 5.9sec and
will scamper to 120km/h from
80km/h in 3.8sec.
It will also return a 5.6-litre
per 100km/h (50mpg) combined
cycle average, sipping fuel at the
rate of just 5l/100km (56mpg)
at 100km/h (engine speed just
1200rpm).
That’s good reading for a car
which carries a bit of bulk but
that is offset by the clever engine
manufacture and sophistication
of the nine-speed automatic
gearbox which is finding its way
across Mercedes-Benz badged
product.
The transmission is a stunner,
so smooth are the changes
it’s almost like there are no
changes bar the needle shift on
the tachometer. Of course, there’s
a driver selectable function
through steering-wheel-mounted
paddles, but I never used them
a lot, far preferring to let the
gearbox do its own thinking, the
engine/transmission combination
never disappoints.
That sums up the car in total,
it is beautifully built with high
quality trim materials and an
inviting interior in terms of
appointment. The test car was
finished in brown leather, the
entire ambience is clean and spacious.
All seats provide sumptuous
occupant comfort, also allowing
for a lot of onboard space.
More importantly are the number
of safety features built into
the E-Class. They are way too
numerous and comprehensive to
detail, but to say the latest from
the Mercedes-Benz factory would
be one of the world’s safest cars.
For comfort and convenience
there’s a multitude of features and
options. One of my passengers
referred to the giant on-screen
display as looking like two iPads
joined together, the graphics are
intense and can be structured to
suit the driver’s preference and/or
driving style.
I like the display as it sits in
sport mode, the colours are vivid
and the readouts easy to understand.
There is also head-up display
offering the driver constant
visual interpretation of speed and
other key elements.
It’s fair to say the E-Class is a
standout in terms of technology,
and any prospective buyer will just
adore its features, I certainly did.
As its price would suggest, and
given Mercedes-Benz’s reputation
for luxury car manufacture, it’s
no surprise then that driving the
• Price – Mercedes-Benz
E350d, $149,800
• Dimensions – Length,
4923mm; width, 1852mm;
height, 1468mm
• Configuration – V6,
rear-wheel-drive, 2987cc,
190kW, 620Nm, ninespeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 5.9sec
• Fuel usage – 5.6l/100km
E-Class is a step towards luxury
rather than sporty. The driver
and occupants are pampered,
especially in terms of ride comfort,
the air suspension is just
glorious, even riding on low profile
tyres the ride is still sublime.
Bear in mind, though, that lower
grade models don’t get the air setup
as standard. I can also report
that on a Port Hills/plains loop
the E-Class handles delightfully,
it has controlled balance and
involving steering.
I’m a big formula one fan, and
with the success Mercedes-Benz
has had in 2016, and in the last
few years, I’m in no doubt that
that is also contributing to offthe-showroom-floor
sales. With
the impetus the brand has had in
recent years, I don’t expect that to
change any time soon.

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

Gardening
Work on ways to retain moisture
JANUARY IS possibly the most
challenging month in the garden
with high temperatures, dry soils
and holidays away.
Together these factors can create
major problems in the garden. So
careful planning and proactive
measures are needed to ensure
your garden survives the height of
summer.
The possibility of a wet summer
is a cherished thought for many
keen gardeners although others
may not agree!
In theory, this is the most
productive month of the year for
summer vegetables, not only do
they grow rapidly with the higher
temperatures, but flavours are
often enhanced.
Sustaining adequate soil moisture
is the real challenge. Watering
in the cooler hours and mulching
will help.
With quick maturing salad vege
such as dwarf beans, radish, and
lettuce, continue new plantings
throughout January into early
February.
All this growth takes from the
soil so continue adding compost
around existing plants and
incorporating the organic matter
into existing soil before new
plantings.
It’s the main harvest time for
many stone fruit such as; apricots,
cherries, nectarines, peaches and
plums.
Early season apples such as
gravenstein begin to ripen towards
the end of the month. Berry fruits
are now at the end of cropping and
you can remove old canes and tie
up new season ones.
Some varieties of strawberries
will continue cropping through
January, extending the traditional
strawberry season. Plants will begin
sending out ‘runners’ towards
the end of the month. Allow these
to develop into next year’s plants
or where not required, cut off and
remove.
Displays of summer flowering
annuals should be at their peak
in January with gorgeous displays
of colour in the garden. While
these plants love the hot summer
weather, they still require regular
watering, preferably in the cooler
early morning.
With newly-planted fruit trees,
ensure they are regularly irrigated
to help establish a strong root system.
This is particularly important
with young citrus trees.
A difficult month for all but the
‘hardiest’ roses.
Many varieties produce a
limited number of blooms during
the height of summer before
an outstanding display in early
autumn.
Closely observe specimens in
your rose garden that appear quite
robust at this time of year; use this
as the basis for future plantings.
Flower carpet roses are seemingly
impervious to difficult
weather conditions, as is the bush
rose iceberg.
Recommence fertiliser applications
in mid-February. Continue
to train climbing roses where you
desire, removing all other surplus
growth.
Maximising the use of water
and keeping up general gardening
maintenance will help keep your
garden healthy and extend your
harvest.
Although there is some debate
about when to water and when to
not, the general consensus is that
watering at the start of the day and
in the evening reduces the amount
of water loss from transpiration
and evaporation and plant roots
have plenty of time to receive the
vital moisture.
Applying much around your
trees, shrubs, roses and vegetables
will also help retain soil moisture.
Remove any weeds you see pop
up as they too waste water. Plant
something else in their place to fill
the space.
VITAL: Applying mulch around your trees will help keep
moisture in the soil.
Back to reality
For most of us, the summer holidays are
done and dusted and we are back to the
reality of work life. If you have spent a bit
of time away from home, your gardens
will more than likely be ready for a bit of
TLC. Here are our top garden tasks for this
month.
Veggie Gardens
Check your veggie beds regularly to ensure that
you are harvesting the produce as soon as it is
ready. If your plants have grown really fast and
haven’t produced much in the way of veggies, but
instead have a lot of flowers and seeds on them, it
is time to pull them out. They have bolted to seed
and won’t be any use.
Keep up the water! Make sure you give them a
good soak every few days rather than a small
watering daily.
If your plants have been in for a while now, it might
pay to add some fertiliser or organic matter to the
soil to help keep the nutrient supply available for
them to thrive.
Mulch
A 10cm layer of bark mulch will help to keep your
garden looking great, and provide some protection
for your plants. The bark will help to keep moisture
in the soil, suppress the weeds, and keep the soil at
a more even temperature. If you don’t like the look
of bark, you can use stones or chips as well.
Organic compost is an excellent soil conditioner.
If your garden beds are looking a little dry and
worse for wear, add some of our top selling organic
compost. This is also safe for use around acid-loving
plants such as Rhododendrons and Camellias.
General garden tips
3 Raise the height of your mower to keep the
lawns a bit longer.
3 Pull out the weeds as you see them. They
compete with your plants for space, water
and nutrients.
3 Keep safe in the garden. Wear protective gear
such as sunblock, hats, sunglasses and gloves.
Make sure you wash your hands after you are
finished.

BACK TO SCHOOL 2017
Preparing
for a positive
school year
Starting the year off right can make a
difference to a child’s learning and potential
for success. Parents can make a difference by
preparing their children for the new school
year.
Uniform: Fit your child out in the correct
uniform ensuring it is clean and tidy.
Equipment: Provide all the equipment
the school as requested your child bring
to school. Not having certain equipment
can mean that a child is not as involved
in classroom activities or that they feel
embarrassed about not having what is
needed.
Establish routines: Ensure your child
is up, dressed and has had breakfast early
enough to be at school on time and at night
have a routine for homework, providing
guidance when needed but not completing
the homework for them. If your child gets
stuck, ask questions and suggest ways to
research so your child can discover the
answers. Problem solving is a powerful
learning mechanism so encourage your
child to work things out for themselves.
Help establish good learning habits:
Adopt a positive attitude to your child’s
schooling and teachers showing enthusiasm
for their learning and an interest by asking
specific questions like three things they
learned that day.
Get involved: Show your children that
their schooling is important, by attending
parent teacher meetings and other school
events.
Avoid pushing your child: One way
to turn a child off success is to push them
so that they no longer enjoy what they are
doing. It is great to have targets but keep
them fun.
Support your child: Praise your child’s
achievements whether academic, sporting,
creative or some other accomplishment. It
will help them believe that they can achieve
and will encourage them to give things a go.

be mindful of other people’s children, and
check where you are parking is not blocking
visibility or covering crossing points or
footpaths. If you always drive consider
parking a few blocks back from school so
you can walk with your kids and learn about
road safety together.
Tips to help children skating, walking and
scooting get to school safely
• Wear a glow vest and helmet (if you’re
on wheels)
• Walk the route with your child and get
down to the child’s level at crossings so you
can identify potential hazards
• Remember that children can’t judge
traffic and are easily distracted.
• Watch out for ‘sneaky’ driveways and
show your child how to slow and check for
backing vehicles.

• Find a safe place to cross
• Stop one step back from the kerb or two

through hope, excellence, love
and peace. Students will explore
the cultures and heritage of their
surrounding area and how they
can bring change.
This will include designing Kapa

Rolleston College
2016 was a busy year for those involved in
planning and preparing Rolleston College for
its opening, at the start of the 2017 academic
year.
This work covered the physical aspects
of the new school and development of the
school’s curriculum, with staff working hard
to create exciting and challenging learning
experiences for their year 9 students so they
are prepared for their future school life and
beyond.
Rolleston College has purpose built
facilities that will allow students to follow
a variety of pathways. These incorporate
modern technologies and the more traditional
skills to prepare learners for a range of future
vocations. Examples include lathes existing
alongside modern laser cutters in the school’s
technology workshops that include an
automotive workshop; commercial kitchens;
drama and music studios; a large theatre;
and classrooms of mixed sizes for differing
learning experiences.
The school’s layout has been designed to
meet learners’ needs rather than requiring
learners to adapt to the demands of the
spaces. It supports personalised in-depth
individual learning and small or large group
collaborative work, augmented by Rolleston
College’s curriculum. This allows for a degree
of personal choice so learners can pursue
areas of specific interest while meeting the
New Zealand Curriculum across all learning
areas.

Lincoln High School.
While more formal than the previous
uniform, students have more flexibility on
what they wear. Girls have the option of a
pinafore, skirt or shorts and boys, shorts or
trouser. The blazer must be worn at all special
school occasions and to and from school in

Students, teachers and the community
were consulted during the uniform selection
process, which is part of the school’s

Ready to open
Rolleston’s much awaited Lemonwood Grove School will open its doors to its
very first students on Monday, 30 January.
Much hard work has gone into setting up the
new school. Lemonwood Grove’s Establishment
Board members have met fortnightly since
September 2015 to oversee the school’s design,
establish operational systems, institute the
school’s governance and appoint a Principal,
teachers and support staff.
To select a name for the school they worked with
local Rūnanga, Taumutu who gifted the Maori
name, Te Uru Tarata. This translates to grove of
the Lemonwood, a tree once prevalent in the
Selwyn area.
This cultural history will be interwoven
into learning experiences, nurturing
a protective and cooperative
environment within the school’s
whanau, where individual
interests, talents and strengths
will be valued and strong
bonds formed with the wider
community.
Lemonwood Grove is also home
to a Selwyn based RTLB (Resource
Teachers of Learning and Behaviour)
team who are delighted to have a
purpose-built facility there.
In 2018, Waitaha School will move into
their own premises at Lemonwood Grove,
and while there will be separate leadership,
governance and teaching/learning practices,
some integration of activities will occur between
the two schools.
“A blank canvas allowed us to create a
school where children can explore learning in
wonderfully innovative ways, supported by
highly skilled practitioners who share enthusiasm
for our philosophical approach to teaching and
learning so students are prepared for future
work/life environments,” says Tracey Riley,
Chair of the Establishment Board.
Current research on what
works best for learners in
the 21st century, has guided
the school’s layout and
philosophy.
“Our flexible learning
spaces have been designed
for learning indoors and
outside with
features

(Chairperson) & Sean Bailey (Foundation Principal).
like an outdoor forest where learners can relate
authentic learning contexts to their environment.
We’ve also structured the school day so
sustained learning periods are integrated with a
number of play breaks,” explains Principal, Sean
Bailey.
The school’s focus this year will be on establishing
teacher/learner relationships. Personalised
learning programmes that motivate and engage
students will help them take ownership of their
learning.
The school already has a close relationship
with its stakeholders and the community will
continue to be a part of Lemonwood Grove with
initiatives such as Busy Bumbles before and
after school care.
Lemonwood Grove will initially cater for years
1-8 with between 70 and 80 students expected
to enrol during 2017.

Another Tai Tapu historic
landmark has been restored to
its former glory.
The Tai Tapu Hotel, which
has had a connection with the
area since 1856, experienced
damage in the Christchurch
earthquakes. Renovations are
now complete. These included
new chimneys and roof, relevelling
of floors, a facelift and
demolition of the old garage
making way for a new purpose
built function venue.
This new function room
means that the hotel can provide
large groups with their own separate space,
making this an ideal venue for a wedding,

is surrounded by farmland with a backdrop
of trees and the Port Hills. Its picturesque
setting makes it a perfect place to
relax over a quiet drink, platter
or meal while the restaurant
can cater for small and large
groups.
There is an all-day menu and
light meal options from fresh
salads to a wide selection of
meals. Whether it is comfort
food like lamb or pork belly
you want or gourmet, they
have it on the menu. They are
rated for their spare ribs, with
other popular dishes including
their Steak options and Roasted Akaroa
Salmon.
If wanting good food without paying a
fortune, the Tai Tapu Hotel is the place to
go. They cover all dining options whether
for individuals or couples, groups or special
occasions. Meal options range from a la carte
through to set menus or buffet and canapes.
You can have several courses, starting with

Scientists find new ways of potentially
reducing agricultural emissions
A group of New Zealand and American
scientists have discovered a new way of
chemically converting reactive nitrogen
common in soil before it turns into a harmful
greenhouse gas.
The discovery, which was published in
the latest edition of the prestigious scientific
journal Nature Scientific Reports, could lead
to new alternatives for emission reductions
from the New Zealand agricultural sector.
The New Zealand scientists – Landcare
Research’s Rebecca Phillips, Andrew
McMillan, Gwen Grelet, Bevan Weir and
Palmada Thilak – discovered that reactive
nitrogen (N) could be chemically converted
to unreactive di-nitrogen gas (N2) without
forming the harmful greenhouse gas nitrous
oxide (N2O). This is important because
agriculture contributes more N2O than any
other sector worldwide – primarily through
nitrogen fertilisation. This greenhouse gas
is 300 times more effective at trapping heat
in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and
10 times more effective than methane. N2O
also moves into the stratosphere and destroys
ozone.
The team was the first to report that organic
N can react with inorganic N to create hybrid
N2 (one organic N combined with one
inorganic N) under standard conditions of
temperature and pressure. Until now, it was
thought this was only possible biologically.
N2 makes up 78 per cent of our atmosphere
and is considered a permanent sink for
nitrogen. The discovery could lead to new
opportunities for mitigating excess reactive N
in the environment.
Dr Phillips believes this research sets the
stage for many practical applications. For
example, further research could inform
farmers of how to “cultivate soil organic
matter useful for N management”. Organic
forms of soil N, such as exudates from plants
and fungi, could function in the conversion
of excess inorganic N that would otherwise be
lea nched into water or emitted as N2O into
a form that isn’t harmful to the environment.
However, more research is needed to test
exactly which forms of organic nitrogen are
most effective.
The international team, which included
Professor Craig Tobias (University of
Connecticut) and Bongkeun Song (Virginia
Institute of Marine Sciences), presented their
findings late last year at the Annual Project
Directors Meeting in Washington DC,
sponsored by the USDA National Institute
of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and the
National Integrated Water Quality Program.
The discovery was an example of
international co-operation. The only
analytical instrument capable of measuring
atmospheric concentrations of both N2
and N2O in New Zealand is located at
Landcare Research in Palmerston North.
This equipment helps new advancements in
the field of soil N cycling in New Zealand
that were not previously possible. Analytical
instruments at the University of Connecticut,
tuned to detect isotopes of N2, utilised
microbiological protocols developed by the
New Zealand team and provided independent
data. An international team effort was then
able to distinguish chemical formation of
hybrid N2 as completely independent of N2O
production – a finding that has not been
reported until now.
The team is now developing proposals
for further funding that will allow them
to investigate on-farm applications for
transforming excess N from soil and water
into unreactive atmospheric N2 gas without
producing N2O. This may allow scientists
to develop options to manage the fate of
agricultural N while avoiding greenhouse gas
emissions.

Research foundation
looks to the future
In 2015, the Foundation for Arable
Research (FAR) marked 20 years of research,
development and extension in the arable
industry. A year on, the organisation is
looking at the most important issues for the
industry moving forward, says CEO Nick
Pyke.
“It is over 20 years since FAR was formed
to deliver the benefits from investment in
cropping research and extension to farmers,”
Mr Pyke says. “Throughout this time, we have
regularly considered how FAR is operating
and determined if our research investments
are in the right areas and delivering the right
outcomes to crop farmers.
“Also over this time, there have been huge
changes to our industry and FAR has changed
its focus with regard to some areas of research
and extension. Early research was nearly all
on production and agronomy, but in recent
years, investment in environmental research,
farm systems, biosecurity and new products
has become more important.”
The demand from farmers for FAR to
invest in research and extension in “right to
farm” areas has required the organisation
to increase levy rates for the first time since
2004.
“This increased revenue will ensure that
we can maintain our investment in existing
research areas while increasing investment in
environment –including employing a person
to focus on this area, and new crops-related
research and extension,” Mr Pyke says.
“FAR will not invest in policy work, this
is the role of Federated Farmers and others,
but we will continue to provide good-quality
scientific information for such organisations
to utilise.”
Mr Pyke points to an ever-increasing
emphasis on trying to increase the value
of products New Zealand grows, either by
growing new crops or capturing more value
from the value chain through processing.
He says this is increasingly important as
new irrigation schemes come on stream,
biosecurity incursions impact on some
areas, and, in the future, as climate change
potentially influences the crops grown and
where they are grown. FAR is working with
other groups to evaluate new crop and
product options for New Zealand and some
of the revenue from the increased levy rate
will be used for this purpose, he says.
“Seed production has and will continue to
be a significant opportunity for our growers.
Unfortunately, capability in seed research in
New Zealand has been gradually eroded in
recent years. FAR is working with industry
to increase investment in seed research,
“The joint investment will see the development of a
dedicated seed research and technology centre with
expertise from all parties contributing collaboratively to
research, extension and education.”
extension and education through grower,
company and government investment into
ensuring there is the right combination of
short and long-term research to sustain the
seed industry.
“The joint investment will see the
development of a dedicated seed research
and technology centre with expertise from
all parties contributing collaboratively to
research, extension and education.”
Over the last few months the first-ever
external review of FAR has been undertaken.
The review panel has indicated that FAR is
operating efficiently across a range of areas,
but has also identified a number of areas
where FAR can improve, including some areas
of governance, management and science and
extension. FAR will be working to put some
of these recommendations in place over the
next few months, Mr Pyke says.

Painters Road Masterpiece - With Water Rights!
Offering 13.57ha of highly versatile land with water
rights, extensive shedding and a stunning family
home, this is a property worth dropping everything
to view. Set back from the road at the end of a tree
lined drive, the original Lockwood home offers a
flexible layout, featuring 3/4 generous bedrooms
and three spacious living areas that all enjoy views
to the mature sheltered gardens that surround
the home. Surrounding the home, the remaining
land has been divided into 6 paddocks, one of
which benefits from the presence of a water race.
Fully fenced and sheltered on all boundaries, the
layout and configuration of the land lends itself
to a multitude of opportunities. Shedding is also
plentiful, comprising a total of 11 bays, 2 of which are
enclosed and powered. The workshop and well have
three phase power. Our owners have loved their
time on this property and hold cherished memories
of the last 16 years, however, the time has now come
to downsize and their instructions are clear - this
magnificent property must now be sold. Offered for
sale by auction if not sold prior, the property will be
sold plus GST if any.
