quarry<br />
plan hits<br />
stumbling<br />
block<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
FULTON HOGAN’S plan to<br />
open a controversial quarry near<br />
Weedons has hit a major road block.<br />
But the company is confident it<br />
can address the concerns raised<br />
by experts on its proposed 170ha<br />
Roydon Quarry.<br />
The district council and<br />
Environment Canterbury are<br />
recommending the application to<br />
open the quarry is declined unless<br />
changes are made.<br />
Independently prepared Section<br />
42A reports for the two authorities<br />
were released on Monday ahead of<br />
the quarry hearing due to start in<br />
November.<br />
Traffic issues, hours of operation<br />
and unclear plans on how Fulton<br />
Hogan will reduce major air<br />
pollutant PM10 are key reasons<br />
behind the recommendation for<br />
the application to be declined.<br />
But Fulton Hogan South Island<br />
general manager Craig Stewart<br />
said he is confident any technical<br />
concerns raised about traffic,<br />
hours of operation and dust can be<br />
addressed to the satisfaction of the<br />
community and decision-makers.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />
THERE IS some good news – and maybe<br />
not so good news – for people trying<br />
to stop Fulton Hogan’s planned quarry<br />
between Weedons and Templeton (page 1).<br />
Environment Canterbury and the district<br />
council are recommending the application<br />
to open the quarry is declined unless changes are made.<br />
They relate to the number of truck movements and air quality.<br />
Fulton and Hogan is confident it can do that.<br />
So if that happens it might take the sting out of objections<br />
ECan and the district council have over the application to build<br />
the quarry.<br />
That is the bad news for residents. They don’t want a quarry<br />
on their doorsetp at all, quite reasonable considering what a<br />
quarry will potentially do to their quality of life and property<br />
values.<br />

Ward with my wife<br />
Julie and family.<br />
I’m now retired<br />
from the New<br />

I have advocated on your behalf for better facilities, more<br />
schools, improved bus services, new parks and reserves,<br />
better roads and footpaths. I have pushed for better<br />
recognition for the arts, the preservation of our history and<br />
culture.<br />
I am driven to achieve results. I again ask for your vote so<br />
that I can represent you with dignity, honesty and as always<br />
with a common sense approach to resolving the issues and<br />
challenges that confront us.<br />

Keeping stock off the<br />
roads a focus of bylaw changes<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
RULES AROUND stock<br />
droving may be tightened in a<br />
bid to keep animals off roads.<br />
The stock droving bylaw was<br />
first implemented in 2008 and<br />
was reviewed this year. The<br />
review follows a series of crashes<br />
involving cattle over the past<br />
two years.<br />
Last year former <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
mayor Bill Woods and his<br />
two passengers were lucky to<br />
escape serious<br />
injury after his<br />
Mercedes-Benz,<br />
travelling at<br />
about 100km/h,<br />
collided with a<br />
cow. A week later,<br />
Pat<br />
McEvedy<br />
a 27-year-old<br />
motorist suffered<br />
serious injuries<br />
when she collided<br />
with a cow in Burnham.<br />
The review has led to<br />
proposed amendments to the<br />
bylaw which are considered<br />
of ‘significant interest’ to the<br />
community. They include:<br />
• Stock can only graze on the<br />
verge of a road that has a speed<br />
limit of 60km/h or less.<br />
• A stock underpass must<br />

SAFETY: Several changes have been proposed to the<br />

be constructed, at the owner’s<br />
expense, if the herd size is<br />
greater than 400 animals and it<br />
is technically possible to do so.<br />
• The district council may<br />

in connection with removing<br />
wandering animals from any<br />

• Temporary fences can be<br />

be removed and have been up<br />

In a report presented<br />

transportation team leader<br />
Mark Chamberlain said there<br />
have been some issues over the<br />
past 10 years with the current<br />

have been made following<br />
feedback from both<br />
infrastructure and compliance<br />

staff,” he said.<br />
District councillor Pat<br />
McEvedy said the changes will<br />
pose a challenge for farmers.<br />
“I think they need to be<br />
very aware of what this bylaw<br />
actually means to them and that<br />
it is important and does affect<br />
them,” he said.<br />
Cr McEvedy urges all farmers<br />
in the district to read up on the<br />
amendments and the bylaw<br />
in its entirety to ensure they<br />
understand the changes.<br />
The amended bylaw is due to<br />
be tabled at a district council<br />
meeting today and councillors<br />
will vote on adopting it for<br />
public consultation.<br />
A ‘special consultative<br />
procedure’ will be followed<br />
when handling the consultation<br />
due to the significance of the<br />
amendments.<br />
This means all submissions<br />
and meetings will be open to the<br />
public, and submitters will be<br />
given a reasonable opportunity<br />
to be heard.<br />
A subcommittee, consisting of<br />
two councillors appointed after<br />
the October local body elections,<br />
will consider submissions and<br />
report back on any changes for<br />
adoption.<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think residents should get a say on Fulton<br />
Hogan’s proposed changes to its Roydon Quarry plan? Email your<br />
views to georgia.oconnor@starmedia.kiwi<br />
Traffic concerns highlighted<br />
•From page 1<br />
In a new development on top<br />
of the release of the reports,<br />
residents are unhappy some<br />
submitters will not have a say on<br />
the changes made last month by<br />
Fulton Hogan to its original application.<br />
The changes include amending<br />
its proposal from 1500 heavy vehicle<br />
movements a day to a daily<br />
limit of 800 heavy vehicles.<br />
ECan and the district council<br />
will only accept submissions on<br />
whether the changes to the quarry<br />
application are significant enough<br />
that it should<br />
be treated as a<br />
completely new<br />
process.<br />
All submissions<br />
are<br />
required to be<br />
authored by<br />
legal counsel<br />
and are due on<br />
Simon Moore<br />
<strong>September</strong> 17.<br />
Only those who chose to speak at<br />
the hearing before the changes were<br />
made will have a chance to do so.<br />
Quarry opponent Simon Moore<br />
said it was “unfair” submitters<br />
who will not speak at the hearing<br />
will not have an opportunity to<br />
have a say on the changes.<br />
But he said if ECan and the<br />
district council are recommending<br />
the application be<br />
declined, it is a good outcome.<br />
ROCKY: Environment Canterbury and the district council have<br />
recommended consent for Fulton Hogan’s planned quarry in<br />
Templeton be declined.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER <br />
His views were backed by<br />
Templeton Residents’ Association<br />
treasurer Jolene Eagar, who said<br />
the biggest thing to come out of<br />
the report was the traffic concerns<br />
highlighted.<br />
As part of the Section 42A<br />
report, the district council’s<br />
recommendations were made<br />
by Andrew Henderson from<br />
independent engineering consultant<br />
Beca, while Incite resource<br />
management consultant Hannah<br />
Goslin was contracted by ECan.<br />
Mr Henderson said the application<br />
needs to have appropriate<br />
measures to avoid adverse effects<br />
arising from trucks queuing<br />
between the main trunk railway<br />
crossing and Main South Rd.<br />
This is a result of Fulton Hogan<br />
proposing to provide a vehicle access<br />
point from Jones Rd into the<br />
quarry, which is adjacent to Main<br />
South Rd.<br />
Mr Henderson’s other key<br />
concern is all activities proposed<br />
to occur between 8pm and 6am at<br />
the quarry need to be removed.<br />
Incite resource management<br />
consultant Hannah Goslin said<br />
she has not been provided with<br />
enough information to show<br />
Fulton Hogan can reliably reduce<br />
the discharge of PM10 (a major air<br />
pollutant).<br />
“At this time, I do not consider<br />
the applicant is able to comply<br />
with Regulation 17(1) of the National<br />
Standards for Air Quality,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mr Stewart said it is going over<br />
the detail of expert opinions and<br />
will be addressing this in their<br />
evidence, ongoing conversations<br />
and at the hearing.<br />

Recreational area for Springfield<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
A PROJECT to turn a pit in<br />
Springfield into recreation<br />
space is under way.<br />
The Springfield Township<br />
committee plans to create an<br />
area at the corner of Tramway<br />
Rd and Tawera Lane to bring<br />
the community together.<br />
The final concept plans for<br />
the project were approved by<br />
the committee at a meeting last<br />
week.<br />
They include a bike trail, a<br />
walking track and a fitness station<br />
as well as family-friendly<br />
barbecue areas.<br />
The plans also include native<br />
plantings and a nature play area<br />
for children.<br />
Committee chairman Graeme<br />
Dawson said he hopes the<br />
project unites the community<br />
and brings everyone together.<br />
“We’ve spent the last 12<br />
months working on these plans<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
and we are pretty excited to see<br />
them finalised,” he said.<br />
District council Reserves<br />
operations manager Jonathan<br />
Crawford said council staff supported<br />
the committee in putting<br />
together the proposal for<br />
the project and have provided<br />
$10,220 for it.<br />
Mr Dawson said they have<br />
cleared the pit and are now<br />
ready to start on the next stage<br />
of the project.<br />
“That will involve tidying up<br />
and then we can start planting<br />
and planning the tracks which<br />
we want the community to be<br />
involved in.”<br />
Community planting days<br />
will be held regularly and are<br />
open for all to join in and get<br />
involved, Mr Dawson said.<br />

Tai Tapu piper bags<br />
titles at big meeting in Scotland<br />
• By Claire Booker<br />
VICTORY ON the world stage<br />
is no longer a pipe dream for<br />
Campbell Wilson.<br />
The 16-year-old Tai Tapu<br />
bagpiper won the under-18<br />
piobaireachd and under-18<br />
march, strathspey and reel<br />
events at the Northern Meeting<br />
at Inverness, Scotland.<br />
In the piping world, the annual<br />
meeting is the most prestigious<br />
competition for solo pipers.<br />
Since Campbell began piping<br />
when he was nine, he has<br />
achieved a long list of highlights<br />
in his career.<br />
He made history at the<br />
Hastings Highland Games<br />
in April when he became the<br />
youngest ever winner of the<br />
New Zealand gold medal for<br />
piobaireachd.<br />
Campbell was named New<br />
Zealand young piper of the year<br />
in 2018, and is the youngest<br />
ever winner of the silver chanter<br />
march, strathspey and reel event.<br />
Now he can add the two<br />
wins at Inverness to his already<br />
impressive resumé.<br />
Campbell said the win<br />
still feels surreal, and being<br />
surrounded by like-minded<br />
people was amazing.<br />
“I never thought I’d do so well,<br />
I was just there to perform to my<br />
potential,” he said.<br />
Competitors from Scotland,<br />

part in the annual competition.<br />
Campbell’s father Greg Wilson<br />
is one of the top pipers in the<br />
world – and doubles as his<br />
son’s tutor. Mr Wilson’s success<br />
includes winning 14 gold clasp<br />
piobaireachd competitions – an<br />
event which pipers can only<br />
compete in if they have won the<br />
New Zealand gold medal for<br />
piobaireachd.<br />
“My dad is very proud of my<br />
success. He has put in so much<br />
time and effort for me to be of a<br />
reasonable standard to compete<br />
in Scotland, and it definitely paid<br />
off. I am very appreciative of<br />
him, I couldn’t succeed without<br />
him,” Campbell said.<br />
He practices at least six times<br />
a week for 90min each session,<br />
and also has a lesson with his<br />
father every Sunday.<br />
“There isn’t a secret to my<br />
success, only that I put the work<br />
in and it pays off,” he said.<br />
Campbell will face off against<br />
his father at the end of next<br />
month in the annual Labour<br />
weekend competitions, and he is<br />
looking forward to the challenge.<br />
But he said his goals for the<br />
future are not based around<br />
results, as they aren’t always<br />
achievable – he is more focused<br />
on playing well.<br />
“It’s definitely achievable to<br />
have a good performance or even<br />
a phenomenal performance. And<br />
from there, results may come,<br />
they’re just a bonus,” he said.<br />

WASTEWATER REPORT<br />
A report into costings and funding<br />
solutions for wastewater systems at<br />
Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts will be tabled<br />
at a district council meeting today.<br />
The district council voted in May<br />
that residents would have to pay in<br />
full for a new wastewater scheme<br />
when its current scheme expires<br />
in June 2020. The two wastewater<br />
options proposed by the council<br />
would cost $2.9 million and $6.2<br />
million. The report has been<br />
conducted by a working party<br />
comprising the mayor, the chief<br />
executive, the three Springs Ward<br />
councillors and residents.<br />

Transform<br />
your garden<br />
with a natural timber sauna<br />
For those seeking the ultimate in garden lifestyle,<br />
the answer can be found at Canterbury Saunas, says<br />
business owner Mark Smith. As he explains, a Finnish<br />
barrel sauna turns a garden into a sanctuary of<br />
relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation.<br />
The barrels come from Finland and<br />
are made by a passionate family<br />
company, who live, breathe and<br />
sleep sauna, Mark says. They are<br />
handcrafted from Thermowood, a<br />
very slow-growing Nordic Spruce<br />
that has been heat-treated at 205<br />
degrees celcius for two days. The<br />
timber is free of resin, durable, and<br />
not prone to warping, so is perfect<br />
for sauna. Thermowood is also 25 per<br />
cent more thermally efficient compared to<br />
cedar.<br />
“Similar-looking saunas are available elsewhere.<br />
However, at Canterbury Saunas we use 45mm-thick<br />
timber to ensure longevity and we offer many upgrade<br />
options, such as windows and different lengths and<br />
widths.<br />
”People were taken aback at the recent Canterbury<br />
Home Show, at the quality of the ball-and-socket<br />
joinery and how many growth rings were on the timber<br />
walls – people kept coming up and stroking them,”<br />
Mark says.<br />
Unrivalled in size and options for customisation,<br />
Canterbury Saunas also exclusively offers<br />
the Huum heater range, from 4.5kw to<br />
18kw. The standard model holds 55kg<br />
of stones, which produces fabulous<br />
steam, and with an upgrade option<br />
the heater can be controlled<br />
remotely with a smart phone.<br />
For a more rustic feel, clients can<br />
also upgrade to a traditional woodburning<br />
heater, perfect for people in<br />
remote locations.<br />
Mark says sauna compares well to a<br />
conventional spa pool, without the need to<br />
run the heater constantly. He has used his St Albans<br />
sauna several times a week for over a year and has<br />
found that the electricity costs are about $2 a session.<br />
Virtually maintenance free, there are no slippery steps,<br />
filters to be changed or harsh chemicals to add to the<br />
sauna – a quick sweep out and wipe down every few<br />
weeks is sufficient. Oiling the outside of the timber<br />
once a year is also recommended.<br />
Published studies from the University of Bristol, which<br />
used very large study groups over 20 years, have<br />
come back with some interesting findings, Mark says.<br />
Regular use of Finnish-style saunas can reduce blood<br />
pressure and the chance of stroke. It also benefits<br />
skin condition and eases breathing problems. Soft<br />
tissue aches and pains are also eased in the heat of<br />
sauna. Finally, the barrel shape and quiet environment<br />
combine to create a feeling of peace and sanctuary<br />
away from the hectic pace of life.<br />
Canterbury Saunas has a demonstration model<br />
at Oderings Garden Centre, 20 West Coast Road,<br />
Yaldhurst. Website www.canterburysaunas.co.nz<br />
Six wayS SaunaS<br />
beat spa pools<br />
Ease aches and pains away with a Scandinavian<br />
designed and crafted barrel sauna, the hot<br />
new option with some great advantages.<br />
1. Saunas only use power when in use.<br />
2. Saunas aren’t noisy.<br />
3. Easier to keep clean with no need for chemicals.<br />
4. Enjoyable in any weather, cocooned from<br />
the elements.<br />
5. Safer – no slippery steps, level floor, and easy to get<br />
in and out of.<br />
6. Lower maintenance because there’s only one<br />
working part, the heater.<br />

Quake survivor hit by thieves<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
CHEEKY THIEVES are stealing<br />
plants from a West Melton<br />
couple’s roadside stall.<br />
More than $200 of plants<br />
home-grown by Brian and Helen<br />
Coker have been stolen from<br />
their Stoneycrop stall on Halkett<br />
Rd.<br />
“We are very disappointed.<br />
I like to think it’s a part of our<br />
Kiwi culture that we have these<br />
roadside stalls and the majority<br />
of people are honest but some<br />
just ruin it for everyone,” Mr<br />
Coker said.<br />
It’s the fourth time the stall<br />
has been targetted this year, the<br />
Coker’s have previously had their<br />
honesty box taken on several<br />
occasions.<br />
Mr Coker lost both his legs<br />
in the Christchurch earthquake<br />
on Feburary 22, 20<strong>11</strong>. He<br />
was pinned under concrete<br />
in the collapsed Pyne Gould<br />
Corporation building.<br />
Later Mr and Mrs Coker<br />
began a project to create a dream<br />
garden at their home.<br />
Mrs Coker took on the majority<br />
of the work and they won<br />
Garden of the Year in 2015.<br />
The plants from the stall come<br />
directly from that garden and<br />
mean a lot to them, Mr Coker<br />
said.<br />
“When you’ve spent so much<br />
time growing and nurturing<br />
them and to have somebody just<br />
take them, it really isn’t a great<br />
feeling,” he said.<br />
After all of the thefts, the couple<br />
have begun questioning if it’s<br />
worth carrying on.<br />
“We still want to keep going<br />
but to lose this amount of plants<br />
in one go is very disheartening<br />
and it does make you think.<br />
“Its disappointing people<br />
aren’t honest,” Mr Coker<br />
said.<br />
The couple said they will look<br />
into installing security cameras<br />
to ensure it doesn’t happen again<br />
The thieves took two trays<br />
totalling around 40 plants and<br />
other specific plants of more<br />
value.<br />
“They were quite selective with<br />
what they took so I suspect it was<br />

Group gets $2500 to trap predators<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
KIRWEE RESIDENTS are<br />
being given the chance to get on<br />
top of pest numbers in the area.<br />
Predator Free Kirwee,<br />
formally Kirwee Trappers, has<br />
received $2500 from the district<br />
council to buy rat traps.<br />
The group is beginning with<br />
rats as they<br />
are the most<br />
common pest<br />
and are the<br />
easiest traps<br />
to use.<br />
A particularly<br />
bad<br />
Nicci Dillon<br />
mast season<br />
has seen pest<br />
numbers rise across the country.<br />
“This year has seen the biggest<br />
mast season for many years and<br />
the abundant seed is fuelling<br />
rodent breeding through the<br />
winter,” a Department of Conservation<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
A mast occurs when trees and<br />
plants produce high amounts<br />
of seed and fruits that attract<br />
predators.<br />
Group member Nicci Dillon<br />
said they’re excited the plan is<br />
going ahead.<br />
“The head of the group, Kelvin<br />
Sewell, and I have been working<br />
hard to secure funding for the<br />
traps and are delighted that the<br />
‘I went home and thought that’s bloody it, we’re gonna get<br />
rid of some of these critters.’ – Nicci Dillon<br />
council has come on board to<br />
supply them,” she said.<br />
The vision is to get the community<br />
involved in backyard<br />
trapping to eradicate pests in<br />
Kirwee.<br />
‘I have a lifestyle block near<br />
the Waimak and a while back I<br />
had a ferret run across my lawn<br />
with a rabbit in its mouth and<br />
then a week later I was walking<br />
in a reserve and a stoat ran out<br />
in front of me.<br />
“I went home and thought<br />
that’s bloody it, we’re gonna get<br />
rid of some of these critters.”<br />
CAUGHT: A rat and a weasel<br />
trapped by Predator Free<br />
Kirwee as part of a bid to<br />
manage pest numbers in the<br />
area.<br />
District council biodiversity<br />
co-ordinator Andrew Spanton<br />
said protecting native wildlife is<br />
incredibly important.<br />
“Given that there are many<br />
native restoration and enhancement<br />
planting projects going<br />
on – with the notion of creating<br />
habitat for native birds – then we<br />
need associated and joined up<br />
actions to rid the sites of predators,”<br />
he said.<br />
The group will now make and<br />
source the traps before reaching<br />
out to residents.<br />
“We’re gonna start in the<br />
community itself, concentrating<br />
on getting rap traps into every<br />
house,” Ms Dillon said.<br />
•Predator Free Kirwee will<br />
have a tent at the Courtenay<br />
A&P show on November<br />
23 to give information to<br />
the community about the<br />
project and how to trap<br />

Storage King<br />
recognised for<br />
fundraising<br />
A ROLLESTON business<br />
has been recognised for its<br />
contribution to the community.<br />
Storage King won the<br />
community engagement award<br />
at the Self Storage Industries of<br />
Australasia awards last week.<br />
The business has been actively<br />
involved in fundraising for<br />
organisations.<br />
It also sponsors Rolleston<br />
rugby, the Rolleston Warriors,<br />
Rolleston softball, Rolleston<br />
netball, the Waikirikiri Hockey<br />
Club, and <strong>Selwyn</strong> United’s first<br />
kicks programme.<br />
Manager Chris O’Brien said it<br />
couldn’t have done it without the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> community’s help.<br />
“<strong>Selwyn</strong> has a highly-engaged<br />
community that loves to be<br />
part of initiatives, not-for-profit<br />
organisations and supporting<br />
local. We identified this quickly<br />
and were able to work alongside<br />
community individuals and<br />
groups to help achieve the kind of<br />
engagement normally seen only<br />
after years of work,” he said.<br />
“We want to say thanks for<br />
their amazing contribution<br />
towards receiving such an award<br />
and we very much look forward<br />
to serving the communities of<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> for many more years to<br />
come.”<br />
Help schools play together<br />
LEMONWOOD Grove and<br />
Waitaha schools need the<br />
community’s help to build a<br />
shared playground so the pupils<br />
to play together.<br />
The two schools share a site at<br />
Rolleston.<br />
Lemonwood Grove opened<br />
in 2017 and Waitaha School,<br />
a special education facility,<br />
opened a year after with 50-60<br />
students aged from five to<br />
21-years-old.<br />
Waitaha School principal<br />
Maureen Allan said the<br />
playground will allow the pupils<br />
to build relationships with each<br />
other.<br />
“We decided to collaborate on<br />
this project because we want a<br />
shared space for the learners to<br />
play alongside one another,” she<br />
said.<br />
The playground is expected to<br />
cost about $70,000 with the bulk<br />
of the money going towards<br />
special requirements like safety<br />
matting and fencing.<br />
Lemonwood Grove principal<br />
Sean Bailey said he is excited<br />
about the project and the<br />
opportunities it will provide.<br />
In a bid to raise the money, the<br />
schools have been fundraising,<br />
and the Lemonwood Grove<br />
LINK committee (PTA) will run<br />
a quiz night with the Waitaha<br />
School Board.<br />
SHARE: Pupils at Lemonwood Grove and Waitaha schools may soon be sharing a new<br />
playground, but need help to get the planned facility (below) up and running.<br />
Fundraising co-ordinator<br />
Cherie King said she has<br />
enjoyed collaborating on the<br />
project and bringing the two<br />
school communities together.<br />
The quiz night will be held on<br />

Underdogs co-operate ahead of semis<br />
SPORT<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
LINCOLN A and Greenpark<br />
B are pondering a combined<br />
training run on Thursday night<br />
to help each other win their<br />
respective <strong>Selwyn</strong> premier<br />
netball semi-finals on Saturday.<br />
Lincoln A beat Southbridge<br />
A 71-37 in a winner-take-all<br />
contest at the Lincoln Event<br />
Centre on Saturday to claim<br />
fourth spot and earn the right to<br />
play top qualifiers Broadfield A.<br />
Greenpark A eased past<br />
Greenpark B 50-36, and will play<br />
each other again in the other<br />
semi-final.<br />
Lincoln A coach Dawn<br />
Dalley and Greenpark B player/<br />
coach Mechelle Barltrop said a<br />
combined training run could be<br />
beneficial for both teams as they<br />
try to prevent Greenpark A and<br />
Broadfield A meeting for their<br />
second straight final.<br />
“When we have pushed the top<br />
teams. We’ve done it with a fast<br />
start so we’ll need that against<br />
Broadfield on Saturday,” Dalley<br />
said.<br />
Lincoln A got within two goals<br />
of Broadfield A in a 55-53 loss in<br />
round two.<br />
“The fact we had a good win<br />
against Southbridge and we’ve<br />
pushed the three other teams at<br />
The revolution<br />
in heat pumps<br />

it if we play well enough,” Dalley<br />
said.<br />
Greenpark B will have to<br />
be at their best against their<br />
clubmates. “We have a mental<br />
block with Greenpark A in the<br />
fact that they are the only team<br />
we haven’t beaten all year,”<br />
Barltrop said.<br />
“Some of the girls may be<br />
struggling with self-belief that<br />
they can beat them.”<br />

Rolleston teen on the road<br />
to Youth Olympics gold rush<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
ROLLESTON College<br />
cyclist Nick Rush has lofty<br />
goals and he knows hard<br />
work is the best way to<br />
achieve them.<br />
Even on a rainy Sunday,<br />
he is on his bike for a<br />
training ride up Summit<br />
Rd.<br />
The 14-year-old, who has<br />
competed at both road and<br />
mountain bike nationals<br />
in the past 12 months,<br />
wants to make the Youth<br />
Olympics on the road in<br />
2022.<br />
“Most of my mountain<br />
biking helps my hill work<br />
and then on the road I<br />
mostly ride on the flat.”<br />
Nick dominated the<br />
Canterbury secondary<br />
schools cycling Southern<br />
Tour in Blenheim last<br />
week.<br />
Not only did he win<br />
the overall under-15<br />
yellow jersey category, he<br />
also won the time trial,<br />
hill climb, king of the<br />
mountain and sprint titles.<br />
“I was expecting to do<br />
well but I wasn’t expecting<br />
to win everything. The hill<br />
climb win was really good,<br />
because I’m quite solid and<br />
there are others with better<br />
body types to go quick up<br />
inclines.<br />
“A result like that always<br />
gives me confidence.”<br />
Nick has the road cycling<br />
DOMINANT:<br />
Rolleston<br />
College’s Nick<br />
Rush wearing<br />
the yellow<br />
jersey during the<br />
Southern Tour in<br />
Blenheim. <br />
nationals in Palmerston<br />
North at the end of the<br />
month and the mountain<br />
bike nationals are in<br />
Dunedin a week later.<br />
Last year he finished<br />
third for his age on the<br />
road and fifth in the points<br />
race. Nick trains eight to<br />
10 hours a week – half<br />
on the road and half on a<br />
stationary bike at home.<br />
“There are some good<br />
20min climbs up the<br />
Summit Rd and while it’s<br />
tough, it really pushes me<br />
to do better.”<br />
Nick said strong<br />
performances on the<br />
national stage will put<br />
him on the pathway to his<br />
Youth Olympics dream.<br />

Walking Festival puts<br />
spring in step<br />
Foster Park in bloom<br />
Thousands of daffodils are bringing a bright splash of colour to<br />
Foster Park.<br />
The wildflower daffodil garden of 20,000 daffodils planted by<br />
volunteers and Council staff at the park is blooming. People are<br />
encouraged to enjoy the flowers while they last, but please don’t<br />
pick them.<br />
Spring is here and with it the opportunity to get out and explore more of the beautiful countryside<br />
around the district.<br />
The annual Breeze Walking Festival is offering guided walks to discover and enjoy of some of<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s beautiful walk trails.<br />
Four great walks throughout the district will be part of the festival from at the start of October.<br />
From a tramp to enjoy 360 degree mountain views, to a quick sneak through one of the only<br />
places in New Zealand where you can see the muted swan, or an introduction to the history of<br />
Māori pathways through the land and spectacular flora and fauna at Kura Tawhiti/Castle Hill,<br />
there’s something for all ages and interests.<br />
The four walks are:<br />
· Harts Creek Sneak: Tuesday 1 October<br />
· Rakaia Gorge Experience: Thursday 3 October (fully booked)<br />
· Kura Tawhiti/Castle Hill Treasure Walk: Tuesday 8 October<br />
· Hogs Back Hike: Thursday 10 October (fully booked)<br />
To register for these walks go to walkingfestival.co.nz. All walks are free.<br />
Motorcycle Awareness Month<br />
<strong>September</strong> is Motorcycle Awareness Month and people are being reminded to look twice for motorcycles.<br />
<strong>September</strong> marks the start of the riding season for many motorcyclists in New Zealand. It is the month<br />
when over half of all motorcyclists get their bikes out of the garage, get back on the road and look<br />
forward to the long summer of riding. It’s an important time for all motorists to know that they’ll see<br />
more motorcycles on the road. The Council is supporting the national campaign, reminding people to<br />
look twice, especially at intersections and before changing lanes, and to check blind spots.<br />
Make it click!<br />
Not only is it the law to wear a<br />
seatbelt, it’s a really good idea.<br />
Find out about Council<br />
election contenders<br />
With just over a week to go until voting opens in the <strong>2019</strong> local<br />
elections, it’s time to start getting to know the candidates.<br />
Voting packs will be delivered to all enrolled voters from 20<br />
<strong>September</strong>. The election is held by postal vote, and voting papers<br />
must be received by the Council before 12 midday on Election Day,<br />
Saturday 12 October <strong>2019</strong>.<br />
Your voting pack will include a booklet with profile statements from<br />
all candidates – but you can find out who the candidates are and<br />
view their profile statements now, on the Council’s elections web<br />
page at selwyn.govt.nz/elections.<br />
Altogether, 25 nominations were received for the 17 vacancies in the<br />
upcoming Council elections.<br />
Elections will be required in all Council Wards, but will not be<br />
required for the Malvern Community Board (Tawera and Hawkins<br />
subdivisions), where the number of nominations received matched<br />
the number of vacancies.<br />
Deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill says it’s pleasing to see<br />
the number of people putting their hands up to be involved in<br />
local democracy.<br />
“It’s especially encouraging to see several first-time candidates who<br />
are standing to represent their local wards,” he says. “Now it’s up<br />
to the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> to have their say. We hope people take the<br />
time to find out about their local candidates, and return their voting<br />
papers in plenty of time.”<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council is participating in Local Government New<br />
Zealand’s Vote <strong>2019</strong> campaign, which aims to lift nationwide voter<br />
turnout in local elections and increase people’s engagement with<br />
their local council.<br />
Meet the candidate evenings<br />
Public ‘Meet the Candidate’ meetings are expected to be held in a<br />
number of locations across the district during the election period.<br />
These meetings are not organised by the Council. They are generally<br />
organised by local community groups. Anyone organising public<br />

New garden expo offers opportunities<br />
Green-fingered <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are being offered the opportunity to join a giant expo showcasing the<br />
best of gardening in the district.<br />
West Melton Garden Club will be running the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Garden Expo at the West Melton Community<br />
Centre on Sunday, 1 December.<br />
The club is seeking expressions of interest from those who may be interested in having a stall at the event.<br />
It is the first time the club has run the expo. Club president Anne Finch says the idea came about after<br />
securing a visit from broadcaster, author and former New Zealand Garden editor Lynda Hallinan.<br />
“We had Lynda coming and thought it was a chance to give others<br />
the opportunity to hear her too. We’re aiming to showcase the many<br />
different garden related activities and businesses in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />
nearby areas and promote gardening.”<br />
The expo has already attracted interest from a wide range of groups<br />
in addition to the usual gardening businesses, she says.<br />
“Anything we can relate to gardening we’ve got coming. We have<br />
many producers in the area like walnut growers, saffron, truffles,<br />
homemade Italian cheeses. We have at least one winery, an<br />
overseas garden tour organiser, garden sculptures, pots and plant<br />
markers, landscapers, and plants galore, to name a few. We’re quite<br />
open to considering anyone who is interested.”<br />
The expo will also feature music, and food and drink stalls, along<br />
with three or four demonstrations or talks in addition to the<br />
presentation by Lynda Hallinan and the club is open to people who<br />
are interested in making a presentation, Mrs Finch says.<br />
Anyone interested in taking part in the expo can email<br />

Backyard Critters<br />
Earthworms matter<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces a new species found in<br />
his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise<br />
public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of<br />
living things around us. Check out the full list of<br />
invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/<br />
backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln<br />
CHARLES DARWIN’S work on<br />
earthworms is not as well known<br />
as his significant publications on<br />
the origin of species by means of<br />
natural selection.<br />
However, he did recognise the<br />
importance of earthworms in the<br />
role of breaking down organic<br />
matter and drainage of soils.<br />
Earthworms in New Zealand<br />
also provide a food source for<br />
many birds, including our iconic<br />
kiwi, and also large carnivorous<br />
snails plus many species of<br />
flatworms.<br />
New Zealand has 23 exotic<br />
and more than 200 endemic<br />
earthworm species. Many of our<br />
endemic species would likely<br />
have become extinct with land<br />
and wetland clearance. Exotic<br />
earthworms introduced from<br />
Europe have largely replaced<br />
native species on farmland<br />
and in some cases have been<br />
intentionally released to increase<br />
production. New Zealand’s<br />
largest documented earthworm<br />
is 1.3m and is relatively short<br />
compared to the 5m giant<br />
found in Australia. One of New<br />
Zealand’s more common exotic<br />
species in disturbed habitats is<br />
Lumbricus terrestris (above),<br />
sometimes called the night<br />
crawler. This reddish earthworm<br />
typically reaches 20-25cm in<br />
length. Adults are identified by<br />
the reproductive organ called<br />
the clitellum, a lighter-coloured<br />
thickening on their body nearer<br />
to the head end. The location of<br />
the clitellum along the body can<br />
be used to distinguish between<br />
endemic and exotic earthworms.<br />
Earthworms are hermaphrodites<br />
and use their clitellum in<br />
reproduction. Contrary to<br />
common belief, earthworms cut in<br />
half do not grow into two worms.<br />
Only sections containing the head<br />
and clitellum can survive; the rear<br />
end will not survive.<br />
Bidding farewell to Italy<br />
OUR FINAL days here in Italy<br />
have arrived in what seems like<br />
a flash.<br />
Now we’re faced yet again with<br />
saying goodbye to friends and<br />
relatives, with hopeful boasts of<br />
returning again in three years.<br />
There’s also the upcoming long<br />
flights with Vittoria.<br />
We’ve wisely included a fourday<br />
stopover in Brisbane to catch<br />
up with people and re-adjust our<br />
body clocks to the Antipodean<br />
cycle.<br />
To be honest, due to the magic<br />
of international time zones,<br />
newspaper deadlines and my<br />
inability to write these while<br />
chasing my daughter around a<br />
metal tube with wings 30,000ft<br />
above the ground – we’re likely<br />
already in Australia as you read<br />
this.<br />
We’ve managed to fit quite a<br />
bit into our last week, including<br />
taking Vittoria on her first train<br />
rides.<br />
Over three days we forged a<br />
rough triangle around northwest<br />
Italy to visit some of Laura’s<br />
relatives who live in Turin and<br />
Pisa (obligatory Leaning Tower<br />
photo time).<br />
The trip was particularly<br />
special as it was the first time<br />
said relatives had met Laura, let<br />
alone Vittoria.<br />
Vittoria was great with them,<br />
OPEN SPACE: Vittoria at<br />
Piazza San Marco in Venice.<br />
and like all her family here, she<br />
warmed to them quickly and<br />
was soon rushing to them for<br />
cuddles after only knowing them<br />
for a matter of hours.<br />
Fortunately my wee darling<br />
even behaved herself on the up<br />
to four-hour train journeys,<br />
giving us the confidence needed<br />
to take her to Venice on Friday.<br />
I was fully against letting her<br />
out of her pram there as the<br />
headline “Kiwi toddler rescued<br />
from Venetian canal” practically<br />
writes itself. It also goes along<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
with the phrase “father’s<br />
decisions questioned”.<br />
Lucky for me, Vittoria seemed<br />
to agree, and was content to<br />
watch her parents sweat to death<br />
under the baking sun while we<br />
carried her pram over the city’s<br />
billion or so canal bridges on the<br />
two-hour expedition to Piazza<br />
San Marco.<br />
She was so relaxed that she fell<br />
asleep briefly as we arrived in the<br />
famous square.<br />
However, against my better<br />
judgement, we let her out there<br />
(after she woke up) so she could<br />
take a run about the place I<br />
asked her mother to marry me.<br />
In another fit of good luck,<br />
grapes worked as a bribe to get<br />
her back in for the return trek<br />
and the only downside of the<br />
adventure was a scrapped knee.<br />
I hope such luck holds out for<br />
the return home.<br />

Green mango herb salad<br />
½ telegraph cucumber or one<br />
lebanese cucumber, unpeeled,<br />
shaved into ribbons<br />
1 green mango, peeled, shaved<br />
into ribbons<br />
1 small bunch coriander leaves<br />
1 small bunch Thai basil leaves<br />
2 wing beans, finely sliced<br />
Squeeze of lemon juice<br />
Pinch of sugar<br />
Olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
Season the fish with salt and<br />
pepper and a drizzle of oil.<br />
Place the soaked dried chillies<br />
and garlic in a food processor<br />
and blend until a fine paste.<br />
Heat two tablespoons of oil in<br />
a small saucepan over medium<br />
heat, add the shrimp paste and<br />
mash with a wooden spatula.<br />
Cook for 1min until the shrimp<br />
paste becomes fragrant and<br />
starts to toast.<br />
Add the chilli garlic paste<br />
and continue to cook, stirring<br />
frequently, until fragrant.<br />
Add the gula melaka and cook<br />
until dark, glossy and sticky.<br />
Slowly pour in the tamarind<br />
puree. Cook until slightly<br />
thickened, then stir in the lemon<br />
juice and sprinkle on the kaffir<br />
lime leaves. Remove from heat<br />
and set aside.<br />
Heat a non-stick fry pan over<br />
high heat. Place the fish pieces<br />
skin side down evenly around<br />
the pan and cook until crisp and<br />
golden.<br />
To ensure that the skin is<br />
evenly crispy, you may need to<br />
gently press with a spatula to<br />
keep the skin flat on the pan.<br />
Turn over, and cook the other<br />
side until three-quarter cooked.<br />
Pour over the tamarind chilli<br />
sauce and toss very gently to just<br />
coat. Be careful not to break up<br />
the fish pieces.<br />
Combine the salad ingredients,<br />
and dress with lemon juice,<br />
sugar and olive oil just before<br />
serving.<br />
Transfer the fish to a serving<br />
plate along with all the sauce<br />
and top with the green mango,<br />
cucumber and herb salad.<br />
Sprinkle with crispy shallots and<br />
serve immediately.<br />
Note: Adjust the quantity<br />
of the large, red dried chillies<br />
according to your taste. Also,<br />
leave the seeds in if you like<br />
the dish extra spicy, otherwise,<br />
deseed them.<br />
In any case, soak the chillies in<br />
hot water until softened before<br />
using them.<br />

dISCOVER<br />
PhysioSteps is rebranding<br />
PhysioSteps, located in West<br />
Melton is in for a rebrand and new<br />
ownership. Kayla Marshall, who<br />
opened PhysioSteps in May 2017<br />
with Caitlin and Shaun Clark, has<br />
just bought the business outright.<br />
“Caitlin and Shaun were ready<br />
for their next step in life and I love<br />
this business, our customers and<br />
our location, so, it was the next<br />
logical step for me,” Kayla says<br />
with a big smile. “I’m going to put<br />
a little of myself into the business<br />
and a rebrand was the first step, so<br />
effective immediately we will be<br />
known as Physio4u.”<br />
They have the same dedicated<br />
team who are fabulous at what they<br />
do and the support they give<br />
their clients.<br />
Next time you’re in, you will<br />
see the new name on the front<br />
door as well as a new uniform<br />
with the new logo.<br />
“We will still have our same<br />
modern approach to physio,<br />
where we treat each client as a<br />
whole person, rather than just<br />
applying a ‘band aid’ to the<br />
sore area” Kayla says, “We like<br />
to assess the injury and offer<br />
a clear diagnosis with a full<br />
explanation so you know what<br />
is happening and what we suggest.<br />
We also then give you advice on how<br />
to prevent this happening again.”<br />
What they offer:<br />
• Physiotherapy<br />
• Clinical Pilates<br />
• Deep Tissue Massage<br />
• Running Assessments<br />
• Sports Physiotherapy<br />
• ACC accredited<br />
Need a physio? A massage?<br />

Physio4u in West Melton.<br />

Tips for checking a diesel vehicle<br />
If taking your vehicle in for its regular<br />
service keeps getting shelved or it only<br />
gets a quick look over, you might be<br />
have an expensive repair bill in the<br />
future. The same situation could occur,<br />
if you purchase a diesel vehicle without<br />
thoroughly checking it over.<br />
Phil Thompson, co-owner of Diesel Fix<br />
in Rolleston has provided a list of things<br />
you can do yourself before purchasing a<br />
diesel vehicle. Following these tips will<br />
also help you keep an eye on your vehicle’s<br />
condition over time.<br />
1. Examine the exhaust to see if there is<br />
any excessive build-up of soot. This usually<br />
means there is a problem with the engine<br />
combustion or in the exhaust itself.<br />
2. Check the colour of the oil on the<br />
dipstick. If a white or milky substance, it is<br />
an indication of internal engine problems<br />
Modified pump and injectors.<br />
so best to avoid the vehicle and look for a<br />
better buy.<br />
3. Look underneath for any signs of oil<br />
leaks and around the engine compartment<br />
for any hint of oil or coolant leaks. These<br />
are more clues of an unhealthy engine.<br />
4. A common problem with diesel<br />
vehicles is they are notoriously bad starters<br />
in chilly weather so try starting the vehicle<br />
from a cold start. There are a number of<br />
reasons for a long delay in starting and it<br />
is wise to get these diagnosed before they<br />
turn into more serious and expensive<br />
issues.<br />
5. The coolant inside the radiator should<br />
be clean and have little ‘gunk’ in it. Where<br />
the coolant is contaminated, the vehicle<br />
has issues.<br />
6. While the car is running, take a<br />
look at the exhaust fumes. A light black<br />
colour is good but if it is too thick or is of<br />
a white colour, there is a problem within<br />
the engine. It may be that the fuel/air<br />
ratio is incorrect due to faulty injectors,<br />
low compressions, incorrect timing, or<br />
incomplete combustion.<br />
7. Take the vehicle out for a test drive to<br />
see how it handles, noting any excessive<br />
smoke or undue engine noise. Feel for any<br />
vibrations; how the steering feels; whether<br />
there is any hesitation in the power; and<br />
how the engine performs.<br />
8. Make sure there are no check-lights<br />
remaining on, on the dashboard.<br />
If you have any questions about your<br />
own diesel vehicle or one you are looking<br />
to buy, Phil who is a qualified Automotive<br />
and Diesel Fuel Injection Engineer is<br />
happy to advise you.<br />
If you already own a diesel vehicle,<br />
regular servicing will go a long way to<br />
keeping it on the road so call 0274 368<br />
154 or 03 347 7108 today, to book your<br />
vehicle in for a full service.<br />

Mercedes-Benz puts boot into A-Class<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
I HAVE A certain amount of<br />
affection for the Mercedes-Benz<br />
A Class. When that model first<br />
appeared in 1998 it was the first<br />
car from that company I had a<br />
chance to evaluate.<br />
It also stood out for controversy,<br />
Scandinavian drivers were<br />
very sceptical of the A-Class, it<br />
was claimed it didn’t pass the local<br />
elk test – an evasive manoeuvre<br />
procedure. However, as you<br />
would expect from Mercedes-<br />
Benz, evolving safety systems<br />
have long put that rationale to the<br />
bin.<br />
The A-Class has been a solid<br />
seller in the small hatchback<br />
market, and I’ve come to really<br />
like the entry-level vehicle into<br />
this luxury car brand. It must also<br />
be said that I’m even more excited<br />
about the range for it now includes<br />
a sedan and, what’s more,<br />
it’s a beauty in terms of practicality<br />
and driveability.<br />
Sure, the basic fundamentals of<br />
the A-Class haven’t been interfered<br />
with, however, it is a little<br />
longer at 4549mm compared for<br />
4419mm for the hatchback, but<br />
that is marginal, and for the extra<br />
versatility I’d certainly throw my<br />
hat in the ring for one.<br />
It also looks special, I’ve made<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ A200: Available in hatchback or sedan.<br />
no secret of my desire for the<br />
traditional, and the A-Class sedan<br />
looks sporty and almost sits apart<br />
from the hatchback it is based on.<br />
The fundamental mechanicals<br />
are also still the same, the engine<br />
sits transversely under the bonnet<br />
and drive is sent to the front<br />
wheels.<br />
The A-Class sedan lands here<br />
with two turbocharged engine<br />
options – A180 and A200. Effectively,<br />
it’s the same four-cylinder<br />
engine other than varying power<br />
outputs; the A180 gets 100kW<br />
and 200Nm, the A200 gets higher<br />
turbo boost, lifting the ratings to<br />
120kW and 250Nm.<br />
Interestingly, the engine is just<br />
1.3-litre, but if you are thinking<br />
it’s a little underwhelming then<br />
you had better think again.<br />
I’ve recently evaluated the B180<br />
which shares the 100kW engine<br />
and it punches well above its<br />
weight in terms of performance.<br />
Forcing an extra 20kW and<br />
50Nm through the system, the<br />
A200 feels feisty and lively, the<br />
engine is one of the sweetest you’d<br />
ever get a chance to experience,<br />
and it delights in meeting throttle<br />
request.<br />
Power is directed through a<br />
seven-speed dual-clutch transmission<br />
– effectively you treat it<br />
as an automatic, there is no clutch<br />
pedal. The gearbox is characterised<br />
by quick shifts and ratios<br />
which extract the power well and<br />
provide the economy an A-Class<br />
buyer would be searching for.<br />
Mercedes-Benz claims a 5.7-litre<br />
per 100km (49mpg) combined<br />
cycle average for the 1332cc unit.<br />
During my time in the evaluation<br />
car the fuel usage readout<br />
was constantly listing around<br />
7l/100km (41mpg), while a<br />
4.5l/100km (63mpg) figure is on<br />
offer instantaneously at 100km/h,<br />
the engine turning over at just<br />
1800rpm.<br />
On the subject of figures, the<br />
A-Class sedan claims an 8.1sec<br />
standstill to 100km/h time,<br />
while it will also complete an<br />
overtaking manoeuvre (80km/h-<br />
120km/h) in 5sec.<br />
All of these figures stack up to<br />
provide wallet-friendly motoring<br />
along with satisfactory performance.<br />
What’s more, the A-Class<br />
is a darn nice thing to drive, it is<br />
quiet, comfortable, and provides<br />
a feel that initiates confidence and<br />
security within the car.<br />
When presented with a few<br />
tight corners, the A-Class steers<br />
with precision. Grip in the first<br />
instance is provided by Hungarian-moulded<br />
Hankook tyres<br />
which measure 225/45 x 18in,<br />
even though their profile is a little<br />
low ride comfort isn’t jeopardised,<br />
the fully independent suspension<br />
is all class, ruts and bumps<br />
are willingly absorbed, while the<br />
firming is such that body balance<br />
stays controlled.<br />
At just over 1.4m tall the A-<br />
Class sedan doesn’t move much<br />
over the suspension and because<br />
there’s not a lot of weight in the<br />
car (1350kg), gravitational force<br />
doesn’t work against balance.<br />
The A-Class sedan is what I<br />
• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />
A200 sedan, $62,900<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4549mm; width, 1796mm;<br />
height, 1440mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheel-drive,<br />
1332cc, 120kW, 250Nm,<br />
seven-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.1sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.7l/100km<br />
would call realistically priced.<br />
At $62,900 in standard form it<br />
comes complete with much of<br />
the kit that I’d be comfortable<br />
with. There’s a huge option list<br />
and buyers will no doubt explore<br />
that willingly. The evaluation car<br />
had a few extras added in such as<br />
driving assistant and seat comfort<br />
packages, which added just over<br />
$3k to the list price.<br />
There’s no doubt that Mercedes-<br />
Benz will have to market the<br />
A-Class sedan well. Sedans aren’t<br />
selling in large numbers any more<br />
and those that are in the market<br />
are all quality and compete on<br />
largely equal terms. The A-Class<br />
sits $14k above what you’d pay for<br />
say a Mazda3 Limited, that being<br />
the case, it needs to be good, and<br />
I can safely say that it is.<br />
If you also look at the bigger<br />
picture and are thinking of<br />
buying into one of the world’s<br />
greatest luxury/sporty brands,<br />
you can do that for a smidgeon<br />
over $60k, that in itself has much<br />
appeal.<br />

We have officially hit Spring!<br />
<strong>September</strong> can be an up and down<br />
month weather-wise so don’t feel like you<br />
need to rush out and get all your planting<br />
done right away. Weather predictions<br />
are showing some uncertainty with what<br />

seedlings inside before planting them out<br />
later this month and into October.<br />

This is a great activity to get you started and give<br />
you a head start on the growing season without<br />
risking your hard work being undone. Late frosts<br />

also your spirits if you have planted out and then<br />
lose your plants to bad weather.<br />

Gardening<br />
Sunshine brings up the soil temperature<br />
SPRING HAS finally arrived.<br />
Temperatures will still be a bit<br />
up and down this month, but<br />
overall, they are on the rise. There<br />
is plenty for gardeners to do,<br />
especially preparing vegetable and<br />
flower gardens for planting.<br />
Vegetable garden<br />
Harvest the remainder of your<br />
winter veges and remove any that<br />
have finished. Improve the soil by<br />
adding plenty of new compost.<br />
Where soils are not too wet, you<br />
can now plant hardier vegetables<br />
for summer harvesting, these<br />
include; asparagus, beetroot,<br />
cabbage, cauliflower, carrots,<br />
onion, radish, silverbeet and<br />
spinach.<br />
Flowering annuals and<br />
shrubs<br />
Begin preparing for your summer<br />
flower garden. It’s a little<br />
early to plant traditional summer<br />
annuals, so start with good<br />
all-rounders; such as alyssum,<br />
calendulas, cornflowers, lobelia,<br />
pansies and violas.<br />
You can raise your own summer<br />
annuals seedlings by sowing<br />
seeds into fresh seed raising mix<br />
now. It’s important to use fresh<br />
mix to ensure healthy, diseasefree<br />
seedlings. Place pots or trays<br />
in a warm north-facing spot<br />
indoors or outdoors in a greenhouse,<br />
and water regularly to<br />
ensure even germination. New<br />
seedlings should be ready for<br />
planting around five-six weeks.<br />
Give flowering winter shrubs<br />
that have finished flowering, like<br />
azaleas and camellias, a light ‘tidy<br />
up’ prune where needed.<br />
Bulbs<br />
Mark the position of your late<br />
winter/early spring flowering<br />
bulbs if you want to grow annuals<br />
and perennials in the same area<br />
over summer. It will save the<br />
heartache of accidentally digging<br />
them up when planting, Allow<br />
any bulbs that have flowered<br />
brilliantly to naturalise (growing<br />
and seeding as they would naturally<br />
in the wild) in your garden,<br />
especially freesias, hyacinth, iris,<br />
lachenalias, muscari, narcissus<br />
and watsonias.<br />
Roses<br />
New Zealand spring and early<br />
summer is a marvellous time for<br />
roses with masses of stunning<br />
blooms, and plants are typically<br />
disease free. If you do notice signs<br />
of disease or pests – spray immediately.<br />
Remember once you commit<br />
to spraying, you must follow<br />
a regular regime throughout the<br />
season. Apply rose fertiliser every<br />
five to six weeks from late <strong>September</strong><br />
(always avoid fertilising<br />
over the hot summer months).<br />
Fruit trees and<br />
strawberries<br />
Stone fruit are in full flower,<br />
as are pip fruit like apples and<br />
VULNERABLE:<br />
Mark the position<br />
of your late<br />
winter/early<br />
spring flowering<br />
bulbs so you<br />
don’t accidentally<br />
dig them up.<br />
pears. Fingers crossed for favourable<br />
weather conditions (sunny<br />
days and no strong winds) as it’s<br />
critical for pollination by bees.<br />
Unfortunately, heavy rain and<br />
strong winds can have a major<br />
impact on pollination resulting in<br />
limited fruit.<br />
Early strawberry varieties are<br />
beginning to set fruit. Keep a<br />
good layer of pea straw or hay<br />
(mulch) around the plants to<br />
keep berries clean and healthy.<br />
With other berry plants such as<br />
raspberries and boysenberries,<br />
apply a copper oxychloride spray<br />
to help prevent the occurrence of<br />
summer disease.<br />
Herbs<br />
Plant your new seasons herbs.<br />
Because many herbs are Mediterranean<br />
plants, they prefer a warm,<br />
sunny position in well-drained<br />
soil and will struggle in dark,<br />
shady locations. You can easily<br />
grow herbs from seed; try basil,<br />
borage, chives, coriander, dill,<br />
fennel, parsley, rosemary, sage<br />
and thyme. They can also grow<br />
from cuttings, especially thyme,<br />
sage, rosemary and tarragon.<br />
Container gardens<br />
It’s changeover time for flowering<br />
annual displays. Violas and<br />
pansies and ‘potted colour’ varieties<br />
make excellent displays during<br />
spring before you plant traditional<br />
summer annuals. Always<br />
clean pots between seasons and<br />
use fresh container mix.<br />
Lawns<br />
You will notice new season<br />
grass growth beginning. Apply<br />
lawn fertiliser from late <strong>September</strong><br />
and avoid mowing too ‘close’<br />
initially in spring – you don’t<br />
want to ‘scalp’ the lawn. Check<br />
your lawn mower blades are<br />
sharp to make the cut cleaner;<br />
otherwise they can tear out the<br />
grass and damage growth.<br />
Top tip: As the soil warms in<br />
spring, mulch new and existing<br />
plants in the garden or pots to<br />
help suppress weeds and aid water<br />
retention over the dry summer<br />
months.<br />

Gardening<br />
Plant hardy veges for summer harvest<br />
TASTE: Find a dry piece of soil and get onions in the ground now.<br />
IT’S TIME for gardeners to<br />
celebrate.<br />
Temperatures are on the<br />
rise, producing signs of spring<br />
throughout the garden.<br />
<strong>September</strong> can be a wet and<br />
windy month so ensure you still<br />
protect plants where need be. It’s a<br />
busy but very enjoyable time, with<br />
colour and scents slowly coming<br />
back into the garden.<br />
Final harvesting and removal of<br />
winter maturing vegetables gives<br />
plenty of material for the compost<br />
bin. By staggering planting times,<br />
hopefully these vegetables have<br />
supplied you with continuous<br />
supplies over winter.<br />
Where conditions allow, ie soil<br />
not too wet and temperatures<br />
rising in your area, you can plant<br />
the hardier vegetables for summer<br />
harvesting. Remember the more<br />
traditional summer vegetables<br />
will be planted next month.<br />
Those veges can include; asparagus,<br />
beetroot, cabbage, cauliflower,<br />
carrots, onion, radish, silverbeet<br />
and spinach. Improve existing<br />
vege plots with plenty of compost<br />
before planting the new seasons<br />
vegetables. Keep a wary eye for<br />
slugs and snails as they emerge<br />
when temperatures increase.<br />
Time for preparing your summer<br />
flowering garden. Winter annuals<br />
are now coming to an end<br />
of their flowering. While it’s still a<br />
little early for planting traditional<br />
summer annuals, there are some<br />
that ‘transcend’ the typical growing<br />
seasons and are very useful at<br />
this time of year.<br />
These include alyssum, calendulas,<br />
cornflower, lobelia, pansies<br />
and violas. If you wish to grow<br />
your own summer flowering<br />
annuals, seed should be sown<br />
now either in a glasshouse or in<br />
a warm, north facing enclosed<br />
patio.<br />
Sow and water regularly to ensure<br />
even germination. Seedlings<br />
should be ready for transplanting<br />
into the garden six to eight weeks<br />
after sowing.<br />
Carefully mark the position of<br />
your winter and spring flowering<br />
bulbs as you may wish to grow<br />
other plants in the same area over<br />
summer months.<br />
Where the bulbs have performed<br />
well, allow them to<br />
naturalise where they are growing.<br />
This applies especially to<br />
crocus, freesias, hyacinths, iris,<br />
lachenalias, muscari, narcissus,<br />
and watsonias.<br />
Stone fruit such as apricots,<br />
cherries, nectarines, peaches and<br />
plums are all in bloom now, as are<br />
pip fruit such as apples and pears.<br />
Hopefully, weather conditions<br />
allow for pollination by bees. Last<br />
year’s heavy rainfall had a major<br />
impact on pollination.<br />
Rose growth is finally under<br />
way. Spring/early summer is the<br />
best time for roses with masses of<br />
blooms and plants usually disease<br />
free. The addition of compost<br />
around the base of existing plants<br />
is beneficial for plant health.<br />
Start feeding roses from October<br />
onwards with fertiliser.<br />
Cut lawns regularly in early<br />
spring, avoiding close mowing<br />
initially. First lawn fertiliser can<br />
be applied in late <strong>September</strong>/early<br />
October.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Looking at a<br />
lifestyle property<br />
Mike Goatley<br />
Living in the country away from<br />
neighbours with land for the family<br />
and pets, may be appealing. To<br />
ensure a lifestyle property is the<br />
right choice, step back and separate<br />
the dream from the commitment<br />
involved.<br />
“Many people have a romantic<br />
view of country living and I, like<br />
many others love the lifestyle”, says<br />
Mike Goatley, Principal of One<br />
Agency Real Estate Specialists.<br />
“If looking to buy a larger property,<br />
weigh the size of the block against the<br />
potential time it will take to maintain<br />
it as well as the distances involved in<br />
commuting to your day-to-day activities.”<br />
Mike lives on a lifestyle property and<br />
says the quality of a lifestyle block’s<br />
infrastructure is significant.<br />
Factors to consider include: access and<br />
cost of providing services; existence of<br />
and need for shelter belts for protection<br />
from prevailing winds; quality of fencing<br />
and stock management; and access ways<br />
around the property.<br />
The further the driveway, power and<br />
communication networks must go to<br />
the home, the greater the expense to<br />
install and maintain. A sewerage system<br />
must also be installed for waste water<br />
management with septic systems and<br />
disbursement fields for waste water<br />
adding $15,000 to 25,000 (depending on<br />
the system’s size).<br />
“Water is usually not plumbed to a<br />
town supply so a groundwater system<br />
will involve drilling a well, and installing<br />
a suitable pump and storage capacity<br />
to maintain a safe quality supply to the<br />
house,” advises Mike.<br />
Historically, Canterbury wells went<br />
down 15 to 30 metres. With dropping<br />
water table levels, wells now need to be<br />
deeper. Many shallow wells are being<br />
replaced with new wells penetrating 55 to<br />
60 metres to assure a stable water supply.<br />
A well and pumping system adds around<br />
$20,000 to $30,000. You will also need<br />
water storage for sufficient water through<br />
the seasons, including hot dry summers.<br />
Another factor is the quality of the<br />
land. Is it suitable for growing or grazing?<br />
Heavier soils retain moisture so are good<br />
for crops. If low lying, water may pond.<br />
Sandy soils dry out quickly and are not<br />
as fertile so plant growth is slower. A<br />
simple cost effective soil test should<br />
be undertaken when considering the<br />
intended use for a particular block of<br />
land.<br />
The infrastructure on older lifestyle<br />
blocks can be substandard if maintenance<br />
has been deferred or not upgraded.<br />
Shelter belts if not maintained can leave<br />
boundary tree fencing susceptible to<br />
wind damage or blowing over in high<br />
winds. Poor fencing can threaten stock<br />
security. Old concrete tanks could mean<br />
poor water quality.<br />
A lifestyle property in need of work<br />
offers an opportunity for an energetic<br />
and suitably skilled purchaser, who is<br />
willing to do the work and invest in<br />
infrastructure to improve and lift the<br />
value of the land.<br />
Mike has sold numerous rural<br />
properties from lifestyle to small farms.<br />
He emphasises the importance of doing<br />
due diligence on the quality and type<br />
of infrastructure on new and existing<br />
lifestyle blocks. He is happy to advise<br />
anyone considering purchasing a lifestyle<br />
property.<br />
