Animals to benefit from students’ book
Darfield High School students Elyse Kerr (left) and Bridget Leach have teamed with the SPCA to create
an all-in-one colouring-in and storybook. As part of the Young Enterprise Scheme competition, the
students created the book for children aged five to 13, to teach them how to care for animals properly.
The books will be sold nationwide, with a percentage of profits going to the SPCA.

call for stop
sign at busy
Waddington
intersection
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PLEAS HAVE been made to
have a stop sign installed at an
accident-prone Waddington
intersection.
Residents have asked for the
sign to be installed at the
intersection of State Highway 73
and Waimakariri Gorge Rd to
prevent future crashes.
Already two serious crashes have
been recorded at the intersection
this year, one a fatal.
Fox Glacier man Ioane Sitivi, 36,
died from injuries he sustained when
two vehicles crashed in January.
He was one of eight people hurt
in the crash. He and another person
were critically injured, while
two others were moderately injured
and four had minor injuries.
In February, a sport utility vehicle
failed to give way and was hit
by a truck. One person sustained
serious injuries while the other had
minor injuries.
Three other crashes that resulted
in both serious and minor injuries
were recorded at the intersection
between 2014-2016.
The issue was presented by
resident Bob Scott to the Sheffield-
Waddington Community Committee
in February.

SPORT CANTERBURY put on a great
night a couple of Fridays ago to honour
the province’s top sports men and women
– from youth to the elite seniors like Tom
Walsh and Sophie Pascoe.
A highlight was the induction of Pat
Barwick as a Sporting Legend. Leaguie Frank Endacott was also
inducted.
We profile Pat on pages 14/15.
Pat of course is a New Zealand hockey icon, a tremendous
player, coach, and administrator.
She’s one of these people who, when she talks, people listen. She
has a way of getting the message across. Sincere, unflappable and
every word seems to count and mean something.
On another sporting note, the Golden Oldies festival is under
way (see pages 8, 9, 10). Go the Lincoln Lizards!

Safety ‘ignored’ at Prebbleton crossing
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FLASHING LIGHTS will not be
installed at a pedestrian crossing
in Prebbleton to mitigate safety
concerns for children crossing a
busy road in peak traffic.
The district
council says
placing flashing
lights at
the Springs
Rd pedestrian
crossing is an
“outdated”
Malcolm
Lyall
method of
highlighting
children are
crossing the road.
It comes after the Prebbleton
Community Association Committee
wrote to the district
council asking if traffic lights
could be programmed to flash
between 8.30am to 9am and
3pm to 3.30pm.
It has also asked for 40km/h
school zone signs to be placed
around the school.
The district council’s transportation
asset manager Andrew
Mazey said while flashing lights
is outdated, new overhead lighting
illuminating the crossing at
night and in poor conditions has
been installed.
He said the district council
has a road safety co-ordinator
BUSY: The Springs Rd pedestrian crossing in Prebbleton will
not be getting flashing safety lights.

to investigate and address any
safety issues – but it has not been
advised of any new issues with
the use of Springs Rd crossing.
Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall
said he didn’t care if flashing
lights were outdated, as long as
it works.
“Right at this moment, people
are being ignored . . . it appears
to be effective elsewhere and I
think the community will be
quite disappointed with that
stance,” he said.
Mr Lyall said between 10 to 20
cars can drive past the crossing
until one pulls over to stop.
Prebbleton School deputy
principal John Russell said it is
always concerned for the safety
of its pupils and would like
nothing more than for drivers to
drive with care and look out for
pedestrians.
The school encourages its
pupils to use the kea crossing on
Blakes Rd, which is monitored
by a road patrol of parent volunteers
and staff.
But Mr Lyall said pupils use
the Springs Rd pedestrian crossing
and having parents assist in
hazard vests would heighten the
awareness of drivers.
It is estimated about 16,000
vehicles travel on Springs Rd,
between Marshs and Hodgens
Rd daily.
Other road safety issues include
children navigating across
the busy Springs Rd roundabout
during peak traffic, cars not
stopping at stop signs and vehicles
speeding past school buses.
The association’s chairman
Peter Hunter said the association
has been very concerned with recent
accidents and the increasing
volume of traffic.
Between March 2017 and this
year, 26 crashes were recorded
in Prebbleton including two that
were fatal.
Twenty four million dollars
has been set aside in the draft
Long Term Plan 2018-2028
for upgrading intersections in
Prebbleton.
“I am keen to see the people
of the Prebbleton area to make
submissions in support of that
funding … it has been a long
time since we had any serious
money spent on our roading
infrastructure,” Mr Lyall said.

THE FUNERAL for the woman
who fell 100m to her death while
canyoning in Arthur’s Pass
National Park will be held in
Germany this week.
The death notice
for Verena Jantje

to the incident. The 39-year-old
and her husband were canyoning
at Twin Peaks Falls on March 18
when she fell at about 4pm.
Her husband abseiled to where
she lay, activated an emergency
beacon and yelled for help.
When the Westpac Rescue
Helicopter arrived, Ms Kühl had
already died. She had been living
in Bundaberg, Australia, working
as a paramedic for the Wide Bay

DISTRICT COUNCIL chief
executive David Ward has
spoken to his Environment
Canterbury counterpart after
the Malvern Community Board
was not considered an interested
party in Fonterra’s latest water
consent application.
It comes after
ECan approved
in February
for Fonterra
to take and
use groundwater
from
Homebush Rd,
Darfield.
As a result,
Mr Ward has
met with ECan’s chief executive
Bill Bayfield.
An ECan’s spokeswoman said
its compliance team and the
Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee
will continue to monitor the
consent.
“ECan has not previously
been informed by the
Malvern Community Board
of their interest in being
advised of any resource consent
applications,” the spokeswoman
said.
ECan keeps a register of parties
who wishes to be advised
of certain types of resource
consent applications lodged.
It comes after concerns if
Fonterra took any more water
than authorised, it could impact
the Darfield water supply.
But acting Darfield site operations
manager Shane Taylor said
there are “absolutely no plans”
to draw more water than what
is used.
He said Fonterra recently
drilled the water bore as a contingency
for its Darfield site and
all regulatory processes have
been followed.
“The bore will provide increased
flexibility in managing
local water levels by allowing
the existing volume to be spread
across three bores.

concerned.
“There is really no more water
to take,” Mr Pauling said.
But his views are at odds with
the board’s chairwoman Jenny
Gallagher.
She was not concerned because
she does not believe more water
will be taken.
“They cannot afford to take
more water than they are allowed
to because of the business
they are in. I believe they will do
things correctly as they should
do,” she said.
The board will make a submission
to the draft Long Term Plan
2018-2028 outlining its concerns.
Mr Taylor said Fonterra takes
water conservation very seriously
and have plans under way
reduce water use over time.

Horses to be banned
from Doyleston reserve
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A “NO horses sign” will
be put up in Doyleston’s
Osborne Park to re-enforce
horses are banned from
using the reserve.
A combination of owners
not cleaning up after their
horses and the safety of the
horses sharing the park
with the Ellesmere Archery
Club has raised concerns.
The issues were discussed
at the Doyleston
Community Committee
meeting recently.
The committee’s member
and former chairman Jack
Pearcy said owners are
not cleaning up after their
horses when they defecate
in Osborne Park.
The problem extends to
the footpaths around the
township.
Mr Pearcy said it has
never been an issue before,
but owners are ignoring
the committee’s requests.
He said most recently
the owners were asked to
refrain from taking the
horses through the park
during the weekend of the
South Island Youth Championships
for archery held
at Osborne Park.
“They were still taking
them there which was a
concern,” Mr Pearcy said.
The current Parks and
•From page 1
Mr Scott said the current
give way sign is difficult for
people to see when they pull
up to the intersection and the
corner is busy with signage.
“Our argument is if there
is a compulsory stop there
and at a height where they
can see it out of a car window
we are sure that would
perhaps reduce some of the
near misses we have had,”
he said.
A meeting has since been
held between residents and
district councillors Bob
Mugford and Nicole Reid.
Cr Reid told Selwyn
Times she raised the issue
with the New Zealand
Transport Agency at the
district council’s road
safety sub-committee
meeting last week.
NZTA senior traffic and
safety engineer David Scarlet
said a stop sign is normally
used when there is
limited visibility and in this
case there is good visibility
for both intersections.
“In rural environments,
in particular, with low
traffic volumes, people will
not automatically stop just
Jack Pearcy
Reserves Bylaw prohibits
horses from being ridden
on reserves unless the reserve
has been specifically
identified for that purpose.
A district council
spokesman said the committee
is entitled to install
the sign to remind people
not to take horses onto the
reserve, especially if they
are experiencing problems
with this behaviour.
Mr Pearcy said he was
also uneasy about the
safety of children riding
because there is a stop sign
in place,” he said.
He said it will be talking
to police about factors in
the recent crash to see if
there are helpful interventions
or changes that could
be made to make it safer.
Nearby resident Casey
de Bruin said he felt it was
driver inattention more
than a signage issue.
But he said he couldn’t
see why a stop sign wasn’t
installed at the intersection
when it was redesigned
about 10-12 years ago.
Senior Constable Andy
Grant would not be drawn
on whether he thought the
stop sign needed to be put
in or if the intersection had
safety issues.

the horses around the
township.
But district councillor
Murray Lemon said horses
on the road is common in
the country.
“Obviously they have got
to comply with road safety
like a motor vehicle,” Cr
Lemon said.
He said the biggest
concern was horse riders
being put at risk while the
archery club is in use.
But he said the archery
club obviously has good
health and safety plans
around how they run their
operation but it was about
making sure people are
respectful of other users.

Club did not respond to

Golden Oldies Sports
Celebration 2018 will run
throughout the month with
the motto fun, friendship and
fraternity.
Organised
by sport event
management,
tour and travel
company,
Vintage Sport
and Leisure,
the celebration
was designed
especially for
Christchurch
after the
September
4, 2010, and February 22,
2011, earthquakes to help the
city regenerate. The different
tournaments include rugby,
cricket, netball, hockey, softball,
lawn bowls, golf, squash, football
and basketball. Each will run at
different times throughout the
month. South Hagley Park will
be the event hub, with rugby,
cricket, football and netball
played there, while other codes
will be played in venues across
the city.
The opening ceremonies for
the first three sports – cricket,
netball and
basketball – took
place on Sunday,
and the action
kicked off on
Monday.
Who will be
here?
More than
6000 participants,
supporters and
volunteers will
come to Christchurch for
the month-long event from
across New Zealand and
Australia, and from as far
as Japan, Russia, Zimbabwe,
Argentina, the United States,
the United Kingdom, Ireland
and Canada. While Golden
Oldies is open to anyone over
35, the bulk of participants are
normally between 45-65. For
some, Golden Oldies won’t be
their first taste of international
competition.
Former Wallaby and current
Wallaby attack coach Stephen
Larkham will be on hand to play
for any team that asks, South
African cricket legends Barry
Richards and Mike Procter will
play in the golf tournament,
while former Canterbury rugby
hard man Alex ‘Grizz’ Wyllie
will turn his hand to lawn
bowls, alongside two-time world
champion and ambassador Gary
Lawson.
Former Crusaders coach
Robbie Deans will dust of his
pads and play for The Willows
cricket team next month and
SWAPPING CODES:
Former South African
cricketer Barry
Richards will compete
in the golf, as well
as being a cricket
ambassador.
former All Whites defender Ben
Sigmund will play in the football
tournament.
And New Zealand cricket great
John Wright will even make
an appearance, but not with a
cricket bat. He will perform at
the rugby and cricket dinners
with band The Sou’Westers.
But the big names don’t
intimidate the other competitors.

As team names such as the
Saracens Saggy Sacks, Lincoln
Lizards, The Gentlemen of
Nowra Eleven, Karaka Stallions,
The Tequila Shots and the Shore
Ravers suggest, they like to have
a laugh.
Many of the competitors met
each other at Golden Oldies
tournaments 20 years ago, and
look forward to catching up
again.
Saracens Saggy Sacks captain
Steve Murray reckons it’s about
scoring a few tries and sharing
a pint or two afterwards. “Most
of the players have done our
dash with competitive sports in
our younger years and now it’s
time to focus on the fun and the
friendships you form along the
way.”
Other ambassadors on the
sidelines will include Sir Graham
FUN: North Canterbury’s Saracens Saggy Sacks are looking
forward to taking part in the Golden Oldies rugby tournament.
(Right) – Canadian couple Sandy and Tony Bateman are
volunteering and playing cricket this week in Christchurch.
Henry, Sir Bob Charles, Rod
Latham, Julie Seymour, Alan
Stroud, Todd Blackadder, among
others.
What will the event bring to
the city?
It’s not all about the sport.
History suggests Golden Oldies
like to have a good time out of
the sporting arena – and they’re
big spenders. Many like to go to
bars and eateries, go shopping
and sightseeing, and they will
need accommodation. It is
expected to bring $33 million
of direct economic benefit to
Canterbury.
ChristchurchNZ attraction
general manager Linda Falwasser
said anytime thousands of
international visitors come and
stay a minimum of seven nights,
it contributes significantly to the
local and regional economy.
“Christchurch is open and
ready to welcome visitors and
I’m sure the local business
community will agree that we
have so many amazing sights,
services and experiences to share
with our visitors.”
The event is expected to be one
of the largest Christchurch has
ever hosted.
Where did the Golden Oldies
originate?
The Golden Oldies movement
began in 1979 with rugby. It
was set up to keep older people
playing sport and enjoying the
social aspect of it.
From there, more codes were
added, but rugby remains the
most popular with more than
120 teams registered for next
month’s event.
Normally, Golden Oldies’
tournaments for each sport are
held in different international
cities every two years – so
Christchurch is the first, and
possibly last city to hold all 10
sports in the same month.

Celebration of sport under way

Each sport has different grades
and rules, depending on the
participants. While most of them
are social, some codes do have
competitive grades with trophies
up for grabs. Age is no barrier –
the oldest rugby player to take
part was 87.
CAMARADERIE:
Wellington’s Sue
Critchlow and her
team the Shore Ravers
are competing in the
Golden Oldies netball
tournament.
Who is organising it?
Vintage Sport and Leisure
is the driving force behind
the event, supported by
ChristchurchNZ.
VSL managing director Peter
McDermott said it could not
wait for the event to start. He
said the majority of people were
registered for the rugby, cricket,
netball and hockey, with lawn
bowls and golf having good
numbers too.
“We’re very pleased with
the numbers we’ve got. We’re
really pleased people coming to
Christchurch are very excited.”
Christchurch Casino is the
event’s naming sponsor. Chief
executive Brett Anderson said it
would also host various events
at the casino and at Sixty6 on
Peterborough, which would be
renamed the Club Rooms for the
month.
Mr Anderson said the casino
wanted to support the event
because of its significance for
Christchurch and the sector
in what was usually a quiet
month.
“I was fortunate enough to
attend a Golden Oldies Rugby
Festival in Cardiff and see the
impact that event had on the city,
every day and night of the week
was a busy night for city, you
saw the participants in the bars,
the shops, the museums and
galleries, walking the streets and

offer.”

Arthur’s Pass historian soon
to finish book on Addington
John Wilson
AN ARTHUR’S Pass historian
will finally have his book published
after a delay.
John Wilson’s book, titled Local
Lives: A History of Addington was
due to be released on November,
but was postponed until June, due
to funding issues.
It is being
produced by
the Addington
Neighbourhood
Association and
Mr Wilson.
He has spent
more than 20
years interviewing
locals, pouring
over records
and collating a
huge amount information to put
the 368-page book together.
“I have talked to a lot of people,
but have missed a lot as well. If I
was to interview everyone on the
list, I would have been dead for 20
years,” he said.
Mr Wilson, who now resides in
Arthur’s Pass, was working for the
city council heritage team in the
1990s when he was approached
by the association to write a book
about the suburb.
LOOKING BACK: Local Lives: A History of Addington will feature
more than 150 photos and illustrations including this one with the
concrete water tower which was built in 1883.
The book begins with Addington’s
birth as a working-class
suburb in the 1860s and travels
through the years up until the
Christchurch earthquakes.
Mr Wilson, who has a PhD in
history from Harvard University,
said it was great the book was
being designed and printed in
Christchurch.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Students’ project
to benefit animals
AN ALL-IN-ONE colouringin
and storybook will be
created by Darfield High
School students to teach
young children how to
properly care for animals.
Students Elyse Kerr and
Bridget Leach have teamed
up with the SPCA as part
of a nationwide high school
competition.
The 17-year-olds are taking
part in the Young Enterprise
Scheme – a competition
aimed to teach students
about the risks and rewards
of going into business.
They were inspired to take
on the project as part of
their NCEA level 3 business
studies class after both of
their pet cats were rescued as
strays.
“We used them as inspiration
because we feel so
fortunate that we have them
now. We love them to bits,”
Elyse said.
She said she and Bridget
are “huge animal-lovers” and
wanted to do something to
better educate people.
The books will feature stories
and pictures of animals
rescued from the SPCA for
children.
Elyse said her favourite
story in the book about a kitten
called Little Sausage who
didn’t have a mother and was
raised by another cat.
It is planned the books will
be sold at SPCA locations
around the country.
They are likely to cost between
$10-$15 and a percentage
of the profits from the
books sold to go to the SPCA.
It is designed for primary
school pupils aged between
five and 13 years-old.
The students are currently
collating data from a recent
survey they sent out.
It asked a range of questions
including what type
of book residents would
purchase and how much they
would be willing to pay.
Elyse said it was interesting
to find many people would
like an adult version of the
book.
But she said adult colouring-in
books are in trend at
the moment.
Elyse said the books will
likely be ready at the end of
term 2.

Soil debate draws crowd
Lincoln
Envirotown
trustee
Sue Jarvis
writes about
a debate
at Lincoln
University
hosted by radio personality
Kim Hill and a selection of
expert panellists on the
importance of soil
DEBATE: Farmer and company director Andy MacFarlane
discussing the importance of soil in a debate at Lincoln
University last week.
AT THE Kim Hill hot topic
on Thursday night at Lincoln
University, co-ordinated by
the Lincoln Envirotown Trust,
a large audience of nearly 300
people heard an interesting panel
discussion about the topic of soil,
with some friendly disagreement
and banter especially, between
Ants Robert and Andy
MacFarlane.
Hill was on form as usual,
showing her wide knowledge and
quick wit.
The consensus of the panellists
was that New Zealand is learning
from its mistakes and its soils are
improving.
We are in a much better position
than many other countries.
There was a chance for audience
participation in the second
half of the evening with people
wanting to know what else they
could do to put consumer pressure
on producers to do the right
thing, as well as some disagreeing
with the panellists.
The panellists commented
that the price of food was too
low which reduced the ability of
farmers to make improvements.
One of the issues is how much
the consumers value how the
food is produced – and we need
a system to trace our food to its
source.
However, Andy gave an
example from the United
Kingdom where Waitrose
supermarkets had introduced
traceability for their food
guaranteeing that it was
produced sustainably.
However, this cost the
consumer a bit more and in spite
of consumers saying that they
wanted it, Waitrose lost market
share to other supermarkets.

Katie Knighton, 14, raised
$1505 for Shave for a Cure after

Katie’s hair was shaved

She decided to shave her hair
in honour of her grandfather
Stan Knighton who died of
leukaemia in 2016.
Katie has also dedicated
the shave to family friend
Iain (Red) Henderson, who
underwent a bone marrow

Hospital parking a ‘regional’ problem
• By Bridget Rutherford
NEW Government MPs are
working to resolve Christchurch
Hospital’s parking situation
by the start of winter as the
situation reaches “crunch
point.”
The Deans Ave park and ride
set-up has been described as a
regional problem and will be the
focus of a meeting between Labour
MPs, Canterbury District
Health Board and city council
representatives this week.
They have been tasked with
coming up with options to
resolve the issues, including the
lack of shelter for those waiting
in bad weather to catch the
shuttle and the site’s general
condition.
Those options will be tabled
this week with the aim of finding
a solution before winter.
Port Hills Labour MP Ruth
Dyson said she requested a
meeting with Christchurch
Central MP Duncan Webb,
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams, Minister of Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
Megan Woods, city councillor
Deon Swiggs and CDHB representatives.
“I put out a message and said
can we sort this together and
I’ve had really positive responses
back.”
She said everyone was looking
at options for what was a
citywide and regional problem,
and they would be tabled at the
meeting.
“It’s got the attention of people
who are pretty determined to get
these things sorted.”
Selwyn Times has visited the car
park several times, to find dozens
of people queued in the pouring
rain and wind to catch the shuttle
because there was not enough
space in the small waiting room.
Others did not want to lose their
spot in the line.
They included a child with
pneumonia, elderly people, people
on crutches, and a heavily pregnant
woman.
Park and ride was set up as
a temporary fix to alleviate the
chronic parking shortage until a
permanent car parking building
was finished in 2020.
But Cr Swiggs said the current
Deans Ave car park was “not good
enough” and it had come to a
“crunch point.”
“I think a good solution will be
to get that car park to a standard
that’s accessible and to make
good accommodation there for
people when it’s raining so they
can have shelter.”
Other options, such as investigating
if there were other car
parking locations that could be
utilised may come with it, he
said.
The car park is owned by
Global Edge Properties and the
CDHB operates the free shuttles.
The CDHB previously said
COLD:
Authorities
are working
together to
try and avoid
situations like
this, where
a dozen
people had

shuttle as excyclone

MARTIN
HUNTER
there was no funding
to install extra shelter, and
had asked Global Edge Properties
to fix the uneven surface.
CDHB finance and corporate
services manager Justine White
said the CDHB welcomed the
input from MPs.
She said improvements could
be made to the Deans Ave site,
which they would push for, but
the site was still well used.
“The Canterbury health dollar
is stretched by competing priorities
more than ever before, so of
course additional funding would
be helpful.”
Cr Swiggs would not rule out
putting ratepayer money into
finding a solution if it was the
difference between fixing the
problem or not.

Pat Barwick
Hockey great becomes a Canterbury
Hockey icon Pat Barwick
was inducted into the
Sporting Legends
of Canterbury at the
Canterbury Sports
Awards on March 9.
She talks to reporter
Sarla Donovan about
missing out on Moscow,
developments in
women’s sport, and
impending retirement
It must have been a proud
moment to be named a
Sporting Legend?
Yes, it was humbling and a
lovely surprise. And fabulous
that they had some of my family
down. I didn’t know anything
about it until I walked into
the room on Friday night and
saw my family. Then I knew
something was happening. My
older sister and her hubby came
down from Auckland and my
younger sister from the family
farm in the north of Wanganui.
They stayed for the weekend
so we had a nice long
celebration.
When did you first pick up a
hockey stick?
Not until I was just turning
14. I was in a country school
where we only played rugby
and netball. We had to do both
because we didn’t have enough
boys so we played everything.
There were only 32 at the school
when I was there, that was at
Brunswick School in Wanganui.
So I didn’t really even know
what hockey was. I got involved
with it at high school and it
wasn’t until my second year at
Whanganui Girls’ College that I
was allowed to give up netball.
I could have stopped half-way
through the year but my mum
– quite rightly so – made me
support my team until I finished
the season. The next year I was
allowed to play hockey and I
loved it and within a couple of
years I was doing reasonably
well and continued on.
What are some of the
CAUSAL GARDENER: Pat Barwick, Sporting Legend of Canterbury, enjoys being in the garden.
proudest moments in your
career?
Playing-wise getting into the
national side and captaining it
for most of my playing career.
I remember the match where
we beat England at Wembley
Stadium in 1977 in front of
63,000 people. That was a bit of
a mindblower. Being selected
for the 1980 Moscow Olympics
– though, unfortunately, we
didn’t go in the end. From a
coaching perspective, I had a
pretty successful time taking the
Canterbury women to a number
of titles and then going on to
coach the national team. That
was a real honour and I really
enjoyed the opportunity that I
was given.
What was it like finding
out you wouldn’t be going to
Moscow?
Well it was three weeks before
we were due to leave so it was
pretty gut-wrenching. We had
all the uniforms, all the plans,
everything was ready to go
and then suddenly we weren’t
going anywhere. It was a pretty
sad time for most athletes and
people were pretty upset. I
didn’t remain bitter about it in
later years though some did. I
had the chance to go back as
a coach in Barcelona in 1992
so at least I got to an Olympic
Games but it is different going
as a support person rather than
an athlete – you’re never quite
an Olympian unless you’re an
athlete there.
Hockey looks like quite a
fierce game – what qualities do
you need?
In the past it was a game that
could be played by anyone, any
height, any mobility. But nowadays
on the turf it’s become very
quick so speed is an important
factor. But it’s not the only
thing; you have to have a desire
to learn the skills pretty thoroughly
to be successful because
it is quite a technical game. It’s
demanding when you’re learning
but once you get into it I think
it is a great game in that anyone
can score a goal, anyone can be
part of the whole game – there’s
not too much quiet time so
you’re always involved and that
makes it pleasurable to most
people.
What do you get up to when
you’re not playing/coaching
sport?
I like to be active so I ride my
bike, I play some golf and I’ve
always played a bit of croquet.
I enjoy the garden, I have a big

‘casual garden’ as I call it so
there’s always plenty to do there.
Other than that I’ve always
enjoyed supporting Forest and
Bird and am looking to help
somewhere on a project with
them, now that I have a bit of
time.
Sporting-wise, Canterbury
seems to bat above its weight.
What do you put that down to?
There’s still a lot of awareness
and interest in sport here –
the red and black culture is
still strong. We’re not a huge,
million-plus city so we still have
a community feel and I think
when you have that there’s a lot
more cross-code interaction and
support for each others’ sport as
well as the people involved.
I think that sheer interest in
each other is still very strong
here.

sporting legend
I hear the Black Ferns are
getting professional contracts.
Do you feel we’re at a bit of
a turning point in women’s
sport?
Definitely, we always knew it
was about to happen. Women
are the area of sport that are
now making a huge leap in their
performances. The change in
their ability to play more fulltime,
to show that they can
advance their own sport a lot
further than previously. Giving
them (financial) support is
important as it enables them to
play at a higher level for longer.
In doing that it means you
get really good performances
because they’re becoming more
experienced, they’re becoming
more capable, they’re fitter,
faster, and can develop those
characteristics that you need.
You’re seeing a really great move
right now in the development
of the whole women’s sports
field right across the spectrum
and we’ll continue to do that for
another eight or 10 years until
we get to the top of it.
So how much longer before
there’s an equal playing field?
Equal playing field only ever
means money and in the end
it’s about money through the
gate. Until women are able to
attract the same crowds to their
games as the men it’s difficult
to look at the balance of funds
and I understand that. But it
still means for the next eight
to 10 years women need to be
given support to achieve that.
And unless that happens they
probably won’t ever achieve
it. I think the nature of the
games have become really
well-developed in the sense
that the skill level, the physical
capabilities and the athleticism
of women now is certainly
making it more attractive to a
wider public to watch. So maybe
we’ll increase the gates and
they’ll increase the balance of
pay. That’s how it works. But to
me it’s more about how women
can be successful – that’s the
exciting part. The other part, the
professionalism is another whole
LEGEND: Pat Barwick captained the New Zealand hockey
team for nine years from 1971-79. During her tenure, the
team controversially finished third at the 1975 World Cup in
Edinburgh against England as reported in The Press. Two years
later, she captained New Zealand to victory over England at
Wembley Stadium before 63,000 spectators.
cog in the wheel.
You captained NZ in your
first ever match, how did that
happen and what was it like?
It was pretty interesting. I had
captained one team – the NZ
Universities side for a couple
of matches against Australia
a few years before. But other
than that I’d never been a club
team captain or a Canterbury
or Hawkes Bay captain. So it
was a bit of a mind-blower. I
think a lot of it was to do with
the fact I was the centre half
and when you play in the centre
of the paddock you’re fairly
well connected with everybody
across the pitch. At the time
there were still players in the
team that had been away on
previous internationals so I
was quite surprised because
they were more experienced
and good people. I think it was
a positional issue but maybe I
showed a bit more leadership
quality then than I realised.
When did you go from
playing to coaching?
I retired from the national
team in 1980 – that was the year
we didn’t go to the Olympics
and I pretty much retired
straight away. I was still playing
for the Canterbury team and
they asked me to be a player
coach which was unusual at that
level but I did it with the help
of a manager-coach. So I got
into that level pretty quickly. I
had about six good years with
Canterbury hockey and then I
was able to put my name in the
hat for the national side.
Do you see us being world
champions any time soon?
We’ve been in the top four
in the last two Olympic Games
and that’s massive. They’re
a top team and they’ve been
performing extremely well over
the last few years. Getting in the
top four in the world in hockey
is up there and to do it twice
in a row that’s been quite an
achievement.
Do you think the funding for
NZ Hockey is adequate?
I think we’re pretty well
supported by high performance
funding and other agencies.
We have a good foundation
that supports the players and
the teams when they have
to centralise in Auckland.
Our people are centralised in
Auckland, and they train as
much as they can – probably
not quite as much as a fully paid
athlete but they’re still getting
a lot of training. I think we’re
doing about as well as we can
expect at the moment. Certainly
funding is pretty generous on
New Zealand terms, we don’t
have all the money in the world,
we’re a small country and can’t
support everything.
I hear you’re retiring from
your coaching adviser role at
Sport Canterbury?
I’m having my farewell this
afternoon actually, I’m finishing
up today. I’ve had twelve and a
half years here so it’s been one
of my longer terms of work
through my life. It’s a really
enjoyable environment; lots
of passionate people doing
things to help other passionate
people. It’s a great environment
of positivity to walk into every
morning so it makes work easy.
I’ll miss the people. I’m a people
person and enjoy watching them
grow and develop and learn. It’s
the teacher in me as well as the
coach. So personally I will miss
those regular contacts but I’ll be
out doing things.
So what’s the plan this
afternoon?
We’re wrapping up the week
with a bit of a party after work
and I’m going to have a bit of
fun for a few hours so that will
be really nice, a nice casual
send-off.

DAMAGING: Tasmanian grass grub beetles are often attracted to lights.
Light-loving grass grub a pest

AT DUSK, on still, warm
nights between January and
mid-March, Tasmanian grass
grub beetles are often attracted
to lights.
Scientifically known as Aphodius
tasmaniae, it is a major
pest of southeast Australia and
in Canterbury and Hawkes Bay
where soils are drier, lighter and
alluvial.
First discovered in Canterbury
in 1920, the dark brown to blackcoloured,
oblong-shaped adults
are 10mm long.
Females lay pale yellow,
spherical 1-2mm diameter
eggs in clusters of 10-60 into
earthen cells.
Larvae emerge and grow to
20mm, having a shiny appearance
with blue-grey coloured
abdomens.
The larvae also have dark
brown head capsules and two
small plates behind the head
that distinguish it from larvae
of the New Zealand grass grub
Costelytra zealandica.
Larvae live in vertical tunnels
in soil and feed primarily on
animal and plant debris, but also
on grass, lucerne and clover.
Damage by both species
causes patches of dead grass and
bare soil.

drivers just are not good at giving

drivers stop, then look to see if

just go if the way is clear. It’s not

Eye injury ends Pietzner’s season
A freak accident has prevented long-time Lincoln half-back
Jason Pietzner from bringing up 300 games for the club. Gordon
Findlater finds out how he’s dealing with being a spectator, and if he
will ever play the game he loves again
JASON PIETZNER, 37, suffered
a season ending eye injury
during a preseason match
against Kaiapoi at the end of
February.
He took a fend to the face
which resulted in the retina
peeling from his eye.
It wasn’t until two weeks after
the incident that the half-back
noticed a slow loss of vision and
got the eye inspected further.
The extent of the injury has
seen him have two surgeries,
with a recommendation from
his surgeon not to play rugby
this season.
Pietzner was due to become
Lincoln’s first 300-game player at
division one level and plans for a
celebration were being arranged
for their match against Burnham
Dunsandel Irwell on April 14.
“The eyes are a relatively important
part of the body. When
I was told loss of vision was the
worst case scenario, it kind of
makes you think where your
priorities lie,” said Pietzner.
“It’s pretty gutting not to do it
but I still enjoy playing the game
so it’s not like that getting to the
milestone was the only reason
for playing.”
The 17-season veteran has
taken the incident on the chin
and is remaining positive about
being able to spend more time
with his family over winter.
It’s somewhat of a surprise
Pietzner was even preparing for
another season of rugby.
He had originally retired from
the game at the end of the 2014
season.
However, with a number of
long-time players leaving the division
one team at the same time
they found themselves short on
numbers.
“We had about 15 guys from
the previous year not returning
for the season so it was almost
like a call to arms.”
After playing his junior rugby
for rivals Waihora, Pietzner has
been a part of the furniture at
Lincoln and was part of Ellesmere
and Canterbury Country
rep teams for close to a decade.
If everything goes to plan with
recovery, 99 per cent of his vision
is expected to return.
However, it’s unlikely he will
pull on the Lincoln jersey in
another division one match.
“It’s not likely, 296 might be
where it ends. I’ve had a pretty
SPORTS
good run,” said Pietzner.
He plans on attending matches
this year to cheer on his side,
but admits he did miss the
team’s 23-37 loss to Waihora last
Wednesday night.
“No I didn’t get down and I’m
kind of happy I didn’t to be fair,”
he joked.
“My brother Gareth plays for
them as well so that’s always
added a bit of extra spice.”

Ladbrooks and Springston halls have re-opened after a much-needed revamp to meet new
building standard (NBS) requirements to withstand future seismic activity.
Work began on both halls late last year as part of a seismic strengthening programme, with
Ladbrooks Hall being completed in December 2017 and Springston Hall in January 2018.
The total cost of the Ladbrooks and Springston Halls seismic strengthening was $850,000.
Ladbrooks and Springston halls were both identified as requiring seismic strengthening by
engineering consultants through the detailed engineering evaluation survey process. The Council
decided to strengthen both halls to 67% NBS (or more), a target many other councils around
the country have set as a benchmark. Other work to ensure building code compliance was
undertaken. Both halls had fire, electrical and mechanical, accessibility and thermal improvements
to meet the new standards.
Re-opening ceremonies were held for both halls last month. Around 140 people attended the
Ladbrooks Hall re-opening including Ladbrooks School students who performed several songs.
Councillor Debra Hasson and Ladbrooks Community Hall Committee member, Margaret Bothwell
made speeches. Councillor Mark Alexander and City Care contractors were also in attendance.
Springston Hall reopening attracted a crowd of 40 attendees. A number of Selwyn Councillors
attended with Councillor Grant Miller speaking at the event. The ribbon was cut by Springston Hall
Committee Chairperson Neville Benny.
For information on the halls visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/facilities-and-parks/halls-and-communitycentres.
Join a Library Book Club today!
Are you an avid reader that loves discussing a good book? Selwyn District Libraries offer a range of
book clubs for all ages. From children to adults, there’s a club for everyone.
Children's Book Clubs
A great way to encourage your child to experience the fun and joy of reading – our Children's Book
Clubs are immensely popular. They meet once a month to share what they have been reading, see the
new books that have arrived at the library, take part in an activity and have afternoon tea as well.
Teen Book Club
Lincoln Library is running a Teen Book Club this year and we would love you to join us. Come along
and talk about the books you love, see the latest Young Adult titles, and get some help with your NCEA
texts. Drinks and snacks are provided.
Adult Book Groups
Book discussion groups are a fun and popular
way to expand your reading subjects, meet
people in your area and share your thoughts and
ideas about reading.
The sessions are organised to be a discussion
over a cup of tea and a bikkie, rather than
strict literary criticism. The group reads across
a variety of genres and this helps extend the
reading experience to include things you may
not necessarily have chosen before.
For information on when the clubs meet and
how to join visit www.selwynlibraries.co.nz.

Selwyn residents have the opportunity to win in their own local
Commonwealth Games Challenge this month.
The Lincoln Event Centre, Rolleston Community Centre, and Selwyn
Aquatic Centre are holding a Commonwealth Games Challenge to
celebrate the 2018 Commonwealth Games and raise awareness of
fitness opportunities here in Selwyn.
Selwyn District Council Senior Events and Recreation Advisor
Dave Tippett says the Challenge is a chance for existing or new
customers to be rewarded for attending fitness classes or swimming
at the pool.
“We encourage you to push yourself and participate in the
Challenge. If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, this
is a great opportunity to jump in to a fitness class or to get back in
the pool.”
“You’ll meet new people, discover new classes, challenge yourself,
set goals, test your comfort zone — and have fun,” he says.
The Challenge will take place during the Commonwealth Games,
from Wednesday 4 to Sunday 15 April.
To take part, collect a Commonwealth Games Challenge card from
any of the participating facilities. Attend an exercise class or have a
swim to get a podium level on the card signed off by facilities staff.
Sign off as many podium levels as possible and enter into either the
Gold, Silver or Bronze draw to be in to win.
A variety of fitness-inspired exercise gear and accessories will be up
for grabs.
Normal class and pool entry prices apply. For facility timetables go

Consultation on 10-year plan under way this week
Public feedback on the Council’s Long-Term Plan Consultation Document, Fast Forward ’28, opens
this week.
Fast Forward ’28 is our programme to provide the facilities and infrastructure for our growing population
needs, so that Selwyn remains a great place to live.
The plan sets out the key projects and activities the Council is planning over the next 10 years and
how these will be funded. Average annual rate rises of 4% are forecast over the next 10 years, with an
average increase of 5.7% next year, reflecting expenditure on major projects.
The Council has identified nine significant proposals for consultation, including a project to build an
indoor courts complex at Foster Park, and extensions to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre including a new
25-metre eight-lane pool to help meet continuing demand.
The Council is also proposing to introduce a new district-wide rating system for community centres,
halls and reserves, which would help smaller communities by ensuring funding is available for
improvements and upgrades. Three new community centres are proposed to be built over the next 10
years, at Hororata, Prebbleton and Leeston.
Community feedback is also sought on whether to introduce chlorination as an added protection to
household water supplies in some areas, in response to the Havelock North contamination last year.
More information, and copies of the consultation document, Fast Forward ’28, will be available from
Wednesday at www.selwyn.govt.nz/fastforward28 and from Council offices and libraries. Submissions
on the plan close at 5pm on Friday 4 May.

Lincoln High girls give
strong T20 performance
at Canty tournament
LINCOLN TENNIS Club
were unable to hold their
prize-giving tournament
due to wet courts last
weekend.
However, the wet
weather didn’t stop keen
juniors from having a hit
out before and after the
prize-giving ceremony.
The club has a great
group of juniors, with
many returning every year,
and a growing group of beginners
in their coaching
programme.
Prize winners:
•The coach’s
choice certificates
for beginners: Ariana
Johnson, Amelia
Preston and Aila
Wilson.
•The coach’s
LINCOLN High School
finished third at the
secondary schools
Canterbury girls’ cricket
tournament recently.
The tournament consisted
of four rounds of
Twenty20 games played
across two days.
The Lincoln team had
some girls new to the game
and some experienced
players.
Melissa Banks was the
star with bat in hand,
scoring two centuries and
finishing as the tournament’s
top run-scorer with
339 runs.
She scored 102 of Lincoln’s
165 runs in their
opening round 60-run
win against Villa Maria
College. In their second
match, Lincoln suffered a
37-run loss to Cashmere
High School.
Lincoln defeated Rangi
Ruru Girls’ School by five
runs in their final group
match to qualify for the
third and fourth play-off
match against Burnside
High School.

Lincoln High’s

tournament,
defeating
some of
Christchurch’s
top schools.
In the play-off, Lincoln
batted first and set an
imposing 190 from their
20 overs thanks to an unbeaten
knock of 132 from
Banks.
Lincoln then restricted
Burnside to 156/3 to win
by 34 runs and claim third
spot.
The tournament was
won by Christchurch
Girls’ High School which
will now represent the
Canterbury region at the
national tournament later
in the year.
Juniors have fun on wet

youngsters from getting involved.

Weedons teen goes international
• By Gordon Findlater
LACHIE STOVE departed for
England today on a six-month
scholarship which will see him
trade in the Weedons club, and
his parents’ house in Leeston, for
the Maften Hall Cricket Club and
life in a 19th-century mansion.
Stove, 17, is one of two recipients
for this year’s Willows’
Cricket Scholarship. The scholarship
will see him play cricket during
the New Zealand winter and
live at the Maften House where
he will be hosted by Sir Hugh and
Lady Blackett.
The original seat of the Blackett
family is now run as a four-star
hotel, spa and golf course.
“I know a few people that have
gone and they’ve said that they
had an awesome time,” said Stove.
“I’m going to have a great time
but it’s a bit frightening leaving
home to find out what’s waiting
for me there.”
Outside of cricket, Stove will
work at Maften Hall on a variety
of tasks such as working behind
the golf course’s bar.
One job he may be tailor-made
for could be a more hands on
approach at the 27-hole course.
Stove has grown up knowing a
thing or two about golf course
upkeep. His father is a former
greenkeeper at Templeton golf
course.
The bowling all-rounder has
just finished playing senior cricket
for Weedons over the summer.
He had a success in the Canterbury
Country premier one-day
competition taking 14 wickets at
an average of 13.50.
“I’ve really enjoyed playing
country cricket again after finishing
school at St Thomas. Being
able to play against senior guys
and learning from them has been
great.”
Stove will be joined by Rhys
Petrie from Waitaki Boys’ High
SPORTS
School on the scholarship which
has been running with the Willows
since 2003.
“We look for an all-round kid
with a good head on his shoulders.
Lachie fits that bill,” said
Willows founder Mike Dormer.
NEW HOME: The original seat
of the Blackett family, is now
run as a four-star hotel, spa
and golf course.
VACATION: Lachie Stove began his
trip to England today as part of a sixmonth
cricket scholarship. He is also
a handy rugby player, playing at first
XV level for St Thomas and rep level
for Canterbury Country.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Show home villages -
showcasing design
and innovation
The benefits of Show Home Villages
to both home buyers and home builders
are plenty. For home buyers, being
able to view numerous homes built by
various building companies, all in close
proximity, makes for a pleasant afternoon.
Information is on tap, knowledgeable sales
people are on hand to answer questions
and advise, and it’s a great opportunity
to see new trends in everything from
lighting to landscaping and to get ideas for
everything from kitchen design to décor.
For building companies, being able
to show off their latest designs and
innovations to such a collective, captive
audience is a marketing dream.
Selwyn is home to three Show Home
Villages, in Lincoln and Rolleston.
Faringdon is the South Island’s biggest,
with more show homes still to open. Just
off Goulds Road, in East Maddisons Road
there are homes from G.J. Gardner Homes,
Golden Homes, Today Homes, Peter Ray
Homes, Pringle Homes, Trident Homes,
and Artisan Homes.
Just around the corner on Lemonwood
Drive are homes by Benchmark Homes,
Green Homes, Milestone Homes, Jennian
Homes, and Hallmark Homes.
On Ledbury Drive are homes from R&B
Builders, Stonewood Homes, Signature
Homes, BOS Construction, and Compass
Homes.
Mike Greer Homes has show homes on
Shillingford Boulevard and on the corner
of Shillingford and Ragley Way.
Te Whariki in Lincoln is a joint venture
residential development between Ngai
Tahu and Lincoln University with reserves,
parks, walkways and cycle paths all
within walking distance of the established
township. The Show Home Village has
an office at 37 Vernon Drive, where, also
on Vernon Drive, there are homes built
by Trident Homes, G.J. Gardner Homes,
Bainbridge Homes, and Benchmark
Homes.
The Flemington Show Home Village, on
Craig Thompson Drive, Lincoln, brings
together eight show homes from leading
Canterbury home builders with a wide
range of designs, layouts and options.
Along from the Flemington Sales Office
are homes by Online Design and Build,
Homes By Parklane, Versatile Homes,
Homes By Maxim, Orange Homes, Green
Homes, Mike Greer Homes, and Fraemohs
Homes.
Each of the Show Home Villages have
websites with lots more information,
including opening hours. They are

Make sure your vegetable garden
STAPLE: Kale is a superfood and is easy to grow.
• By Rachel Vogan
WITH EASTER out of the way,
it’s now time to work off that
chocolate and get busy in the
vegetable patch to ensure you
have plenty of fresh produce to
sustain and maintain you over the
upcoming months. Think salads
and slaws, soups and smoothies;
tasty nutritious food is at your
fingertips.
However, before you even
consider putting a seedling (or
seed) in the ground, make sure
you have replenished the soil with
some plant food and tucker. The
hottest months take the most
from the soil, and it is crucial
to put back what has been used
before you start again with a new
lot of plants. So, heap in barrow
loads or bags of compost, sheep
pellets or vegetable mix, and dig it
through before adding any
new crops.
CAVOLO NERO
Meet the upright cabbage
sometimes called Tuscan kale
or black cabbage. This close
cousin of kale is one of the
hardiest crops you can grow.
For me, this plant comes
into its own in autumn and winter
for purely ornamental reasons.
Growing to over 1m,
it not only brings food to the
garden but height, too.
Happy in most soils, it prefers
full sun, and is content in larger
patio tubs, buckets and urns. At
this time of year, opt for seedlings
as seeds will take a while to get
going, and watch out for white
butterflies; they love the young
leaves. One plant can keep
producing leaves for over a year,
as long as it isn’t allowed to go to
seed.
CORIANDER
Such a super green, this hardy
herb adores the cooler months of
year – unlike its other pungent
heat-loving mates, such as basil,
which will be turning up their
toes now.
Sow seeds now or plant out
fresh seedlings. For seeds, this
is as simple as scattering some in a
pot or in part of the garden. With
seedlings, find a sunny spot – in
the garden or in a bucket-sized
pot – plant and watch it romp
away. To avoid plants bolting and
going to seed, aim to keep the soil
moist, but not too wet or too dry.
KALE
This is probably the easiest
superfood to grow. It thrives
in sun and part shade, it grows all
year round, and, even better, it is a
cut-and-come-again crop, which
means you can harvest
a few leaves at a time and more
leaves will grow.
Look for seedlings now (seeds
take that much longer) and plant
way more than you think you will
need. You will find once you start
brewing stews and making soups
it will be constantly on the menu.
Kale happily thrives in pots and
tubs too. You can fit two plants in
a 10-litre kitchen bucket, so even
if you have no garden you have no
excuse not to have a few plants.
For me, I plant mine in the flower
garden, as they are quick to fill up
spaces and I like the contrasting
colour and texture they provide.
LETTUCE
Autumn is a great time to plant
more lettuce. Look to the leafy
types and rosette-like ones, such
as ‘Oak Leaf’, ‘Frisby’, ‘Drunken
Woman’, ‘Lollo Rossa’ and ‘Lollo
Bionda’. Red and green cos are
fabulous go-to autumn and
winter varieties too, along with
my favourite ‘Little Gem’. The
heart-forming lettuces do not
do as well over the colder months,
so avoid these unless you have a
greenhouse.

will keep giving
As for soil, they enjoy a fertile
free-draining soil and full sun is
best – although a few of the redleaved
types will grow okay in a
little shade. They loathe slugs and
snails, so be vigilant and lay bait
on a regular basis.
PAK CHOI
This is one crop I am never
without. It makes a meal in a
matter of minutes and is probably
the easiest of the vegetables I grow.
Seedlings are available all year
round, however seeds germinate
fairly quickly too. Allow a trowel
space between plants. They sprint
along when grown in
a rich soil, however they will cope
with poor soil.
You will find a range of varieties
about now. I like ‘Sumo’, which
is short and fat, although the red
varieties get my tick too, as their
dark red foliage is a visual treat.
When harvesting I use a sharp
knife to cut the head off, leaving
2cm of the stem in the ground.
After a few weeks a new set of side
‘chois’ appear and I leave these to
mature. How cool is
this crop!
TURNIP
Once considered only as a food
crop for livestock, these hardy
and easy-to-grow nuggets of
goodness are quickly becoming
a go-to autumn crop for many
foodies. Kings Seeds recommends
‘Snowball’, indicating that this one
has first-class white skin and flesh.
Turnips are a high source of fibre
and vitamin C. Did you know
the tops are edible too? They like
the same sort of conditions as
carrots, parsnips and radish – freedraining,
fertile soil and full sun.
RADISH
These tasty wee treats can be on
the menu all year round, especially
if you have a greenhouse. Even
when the soil temperatures drop
outside, these bite-sized crunchy
morsels will keep on growing.
Sow seeds now, either in the
garden or in shallow tubs and
bowls, and seedlings will appear
within a fortnight. Full sun and a
finely-worked soil please. Try to
sow the seeds a couple of finger
spacings apart, if you can, however
it’s not the end of the world if a few
more seeds than needed go in. All
going well you should be pulling
radishes in four to six weeks.
BROAD BEANS
It pains me every year to write
about a crop I like to grow but do
not eat. I grow them for my Mum,
who loves them, but I also grow
them for the bees as the plants
flower in late winter and spring
when little else is around.
The sooner they are in the
ground the better; the cool
weather stimulates all the
flower growth, which results
in cropping capacity. They need
a spot away from strong winds,
as the stalks will be over 1m tall
when mature.
For something a little different
look out for the red flowering
ones. They are super pretty
and have the same green edible
pods as the more run-of-the-mill
varieties.
ASPARAGUS
This is not a misprint; yes, you can
get a new crop of asparagus under
way now. The quickest way is to lift
and divide sections from existing
clumps. If you don’t have any, a wee
shoulder tap to someone that does
will do the trick.
Seeds could be sown now too;
online catalogues have a good
selection. Prepare the soil well by
digging in plenty of soft spongy
organic matter, like compost or
manure. Remember, this crop lasts
in your garden for years, so choose
a spot where it won’t be in the way
and one that has loads of sun.
FULL SUN: Cavolo nero is pretty and it’s edible, autumn is a
good time to plant. It is happy in most soils.
Autumn is
a fantastic
time of year

Fierce competition will
test young farmers’ skills
The Tasman Regional Final of the FMG
Young Farmer of the Year is being held at
Innovation Park in Templeton on April 7.
Among the eight finalists competing will
be partners Vanessa Robinson and Martin
Bates, who contract milk 360 cows near
Burnham.
The finalists will be asked to tackle a
series of gruelling modules testing their
technical and physical abilities.
“Competitors will face off in two
adrenaline-pumping head-to-head
practical challenges at 10.30am and 1pm,”
contest manager Bridget Johnson said.
“Entry to events during the day is free, so
it’s a great opportunity to see some of the
region’s best young farmers in action.”
The event culminates in a fast-paced agriknowledge
quiz and evening show hosted
by TV comedian Te Radar at Innovation
Park Hall.
“It’s possible Vanessa might beat me, but I
don’t want that to happen,” laughed Martin,
who’s a qualified builder.
“My strengths are the opposite of
Martin’s. He’s more practical than I am,”
Vanessa said.
They will be up against Megan Hands,
Andrew Wiffen, Roscoe Taggart, Stewart
Watson, Simon Ferguson and Jono
Satterwaite.
A prize pool of $21,000 is up for grabs
and the winner will secure a spot in the
prestigious FMG Young Farmer of the Year
Grand Final in Invercargill in July.
“At grand final, you have a one-in-seven
chance of taking out the title. That pressure
can make or break people,” Te Radar said.
The Tasman regional finals for TeenAg
and AgriKidsNZ will also take place in
Templeton on April 7.
More than 35 teams of students have
already registered for the two events.
“The aim of the contests is to get kids
excited about a career in the primary
industries,” competition co-ordinator
David Highsted said.
“Students tackle fun challenges, which
test their practical and theoretical skills.”
It’s the 50th anniversary of the iconic
agricultural competition, which was first
held in 1969.
Roscoe Taggart of Oxford is one of the eight finalists.
The Tasman Regional Final of the FMG Young Farmer of the
Year is being held at Innovation Park in Templeton on April 7.

Poor relationships could be costing
the country, research shows
New research from Lincoln University
shows poor relationships between farmers
and their meat processors could be costing
New Zealand. Dr Nic Lees said improving
those relationships was essential to New
Zealand producing higher value products
that meet consumer needs.
He surveyed over 1000 sheep, beef
and deer farmers. These three industries
together make up 12 per cent of New
Zealand’s exports and currently contribute
$5 billion a year to the New Zealand
economy.
“New Zealand is missing out on higher
market returns for meat exports because of
a lack of commitment and trust between
farmers and meat companies,” Dr Lees said.
“The majority of farmers do not
commit to forward supply contracts that
specify quality requirements and delivery
schedules.
“We effectively still have a system
driven by production rather than market
requirements. Farmers sell stock based
on their farming requirements and the
number of stock and quality often does not
match market needs,” he said.
Dr Lees said consumers were increasingly
making food choices based not only on
quality but also on factors such as food
safety, animal welfare, provenance and
environmental stewardship.
The research showed that long-term
committed relationships were necessary to
ensure farmers supplied stock to processors
that met these requirements.
“Furthermore, these closer relationships
meant that farmers were also more
profitable.
This means that it’s a win-win for farmers,
exporters and the New Zealand economy.
Though many have believed this to be
the case, this is the first time research has
clearly shown this.”
Increasing the value of exports provides
a way to earn more without having to
produce more. This can help to address the
current public concern about the impact
of expanding farm production on the
environment, he said.
“Therefore, the environment also
benefits.”
Dr Lees said the research had developed
tools for companies to measure the quality
of their relationship with suppliers and
identify what they can do to improve.
Though a number of exporters are already
using these tools, there is potential for
wider use by agricultural and horticultural
companies that want to improve
relationships with their suppliers.
“Expanding the use of these tools to other
sectors such as the dairy and horticultural
industries could significantly increase the
benefits of this research to the New Zealand
economy.”

West Melton
community to
mark Anzac Day
The 2018 Anzac Day commemoration in West Melton will again
take place around the War Memorial, which stands in the West
Melton School grounds.
A recent monument in the township, it
was built to mark the Gallipoli centenary in
2015 by teacher Shane Dawson and school
caretaker John Blundell, and is inscribed
with the names of the 38 men from the local
area who died serving in World War One.
The commemoration will start at 10am,
with those wanting to attend advised to
arrive by 9.30am. MC for the event will be
Bruce Russell, the instigator of the memorial
installation, while the head boy and head
girl from West Melton School will give an
address based on what Anzac Day means
to them, and pupils from the school will lay
poppies on the memorial.
Music to mark the day will be presented,
with Leigh Walters again playing the
trumpet. This year, as has been the custom
in West Melton, the WWI tradition of a lone
piper playing the lament will be brought
back.
Six soldiers from Burnham Military
Camp will represent the Defence Force, and
there will also be representatives from the
Templeton RSA, who asked to attend this
year’s service.
Councillors from the Selwyn Ward will be
there, as well as people from as far afield as
Ashburton, who will come in recognition of
their relatives who lived locally, and served
in the War.
Bruce says the West Melton Residents
Association and the school are very
supportive of the event, and he is confident
it will be as successful as last year’s, when
250-300 people attended. After the service
morning tea will be served.
“A very warm welcome is extended to all.”

NOT JUST CURB APPEAL!
With manicured lawns and designer features this
279m2 beauty will impress before you open the
door. An expansive home on 1204m2 showcases
outstanding indoor/outdoor living options and an
impressive roofline extension with exposed truss
details.
The luxury kitchen complete with large WIP and
90cm freestanding oven complements the spacious
living area and designated dining space. All 3 living/
dining areas flow so easily out to an enviable covered
outdoor entertaining space. There is a spacious master
bedroom, excellent walk in robe and pampering
ensuite with double-head, fully-tiled shower. The
remaining 3 bedrooms are all of double-size and have
wardrobes to match. A sought after, 3 car garage with
drive through opens to a huge parking pad, garden
sheds and lush green lawn beyond. There is obvious
pride taken here, not only with the design of the home
but careful and meticulous maintenance that will
capture the eye (and hearts) of many.

Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
So what are you waiting for? Check
out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.
