Deadly intersections to be made safer
IMPROVEMENTS: Roundabouts have been approved for the intersections of Shands and Blakes Rds and Springs and Marshs
Rds in a bid to improve safety.
• By Devon Bolger
TWO DEADLY
intersections will get
roundabouts in a bid to
make them safer.
Dual-lane roundabouts
have been approved
by the district
Peter Hunter
council
for the intersections
of Springs and Marshs
Rds and Shands and
Blakes Rds.
They are expected to
be substantially complete
by 2021.
The Shands and Blakes
Rds intersection was named one

of the worst in Canterbury in
2018 based on crash statistics.
There have been two fatal
crashes, one serious, and nine
minor at the intersection since
2011. Two people died in a
crash there in February 2018.
There has also been one
serious crash and two non-injury
crashes at the intersection.
Prebbleton Community
Association chairman Peter
Hunter said: “I absolutely
support traffic safety
improvements, especially
around Prebbleton as this
area continues to grow.”

Flood danger
to majority
of district
properties
• By Devon Bolger
JUST OVER 23,000 properties in
the district could be affected by
a major flood in the future a new
report has found.
Computer-modelling has found
23,500 properties are affected in
some way by flood hazard which
means there are areas on their
property that might be at least
5cm under water if a one-in-200-
year flood occurs.
Mayor Sam Broughton said it is
the majority of properties in the
district.
“What surprised me the most
was the extensiveness of it. This is
data that we have received from Environment
Canterbury and it isn’t
just picking one or two properties
but looking at flooding across the
district,” Mr Broughton said.
“It is too early to tell if the new
information will lead to further
flood protection work in the
district.”
Councillor Sophie McInnes said
“People shouldn’t panic. The data
is based on computer-modelling
that is happening nationwide.
This is not just something that is
happening in Selwyn.”
The district council, with the help
of ECan, carried out computerbased
flood modelling to predict
the extent and depth of flooding
that could happen during a onein-200
year flood. • Turn to page 4

ROUNDABOUTS for two of the district’s
trickiest and dangerous intersections are
long overdue.
On page 1 today, we report the district
council has finally approved roundabouts
for the Springs/Marshs and Shands/Blakes
intersections.
They can be nightmares to get across and while dropping the
speed limits on Springs and Shands has made it less treacherous,
it is not by much.
Many frustrated drivers trying to get across Marshs and
Blakes, or turning right into Springs and Shands, will put the
foot down to beat oncoming vehicles.
The roundabouts won’t be in place until mid next year, but at
least they are going in.
Also on page 1, not such good news on flooding risks in the
district. A snapshot of the world we live in.

Lincoln University cows used
for ‘cruel and barbaric’ research
• By Sophie Cornish
HOLES HAVE been cut into
the sides of cows as part of
an experiment at a Lincoln
University research facility.
An animal rights group has
called the procedure, “cruel,
insensitive and barbaric.”
The procedure is called fistulating
which involves cutting a 15cm
hole into the side of a cow to gain
direct access to their stomachs.
A permanent plastic ring is
fitted into the hole with a lid on
it, so researchers can put their
arms straight
inside a cow’s
stomach, to
allow contents
to be removed
or chemicals directly
inserted.
Tara Jackson
A Lincoln
University
spokesperson
said fistulated cows were used for
research into rumen digestibility.
“Any research carried out by
Lincoln University involving
animals must be approved by
the Lincoln University Animal
Ethics Committee and meet the
standards of the University’s
Code of Ethical Conduct for the
Use of Animals and the Animal
PERMANENT: A fistulated cow pictured at a Lincoln University
facility in 2008.

Welfare Act 1999,” the spokesperson
said.
“The LUAEC ensures that all
research, testing and teaching by
Lincoln University involving animals
is conducted according to the
CEC and Animal Welfare Act.”
Animal rights group New
Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society
has strongly condemned the
procedure, saying cows can still
suffer from the intrusive surgery
up to 11 days after the surgery.
Executive director Tara Jackson
said the experiments, the
most “gruesome she’d ever seen”
are being done to enhance the
animal agriculture industry.
“Can you imagine poking
your arm inside living being’s
stomach? Yet again, animals are
treated as test subjects,” she said.
“I think for a lot of Kiwis, it
would be quite a shock to see the
link between animal testing and
animal agriculture sector. You
definitely don’t pick up a carton
of milk and think ‘oh was animal
testing conducted for this product’
so it is a whole other side of
it that is quite hidden.
“This procedure is the epitome
of using cows as mere objects,
like cars with gas tanks. Cows
are intelligent and sensitive animals
who do not deserve to be
tortured for any reason.”
The procedure is generally
done to examine the contents of
the cow’s stomach in the name
of research to improve the cow’s
milk production or decrease its
methane production.
NZAVS have uncovered a
range of different research papers
online which show the procedure
has been used at Lincoln University
as early as 1994.
The Lincoln University spokesperson
said there was no current
research in progress.
The cows involved in the
research would will remain
fistulated for the duration of
their life.
“The cows are retained for
future research and remain
under the supervision of the
LUAEC and day-to-day care of
professionally trained staff,” the
spokesperson said.
In Brief
EVENTS CANCELLED
Two events in the district
have been postponed due to
Covid-19. The Hororata Primary
School’s 150th jubilee planned
for this weekend has been put on
hold. Committee chairman Rod
Oliver said they hope to still hold
the event within the year. The
Lincoln Envirotown Trust’s Kim
Hill Hop Topic event on March
26 has also been postponed. A
new date will be announced in
the future.
MYSTERIOUS CAR FIRE
Firefighters in Darfield were
called after a blaze in a burntout
vehicle mysteriously reignited
on McLaughlins Rd on
Sunday. Members of the Darfield
Volunteer Fire Brigade were
called to the fire at 2.33pm.
A Fire and Emergency NZ
spokeswoman said the car had
initially caught fire on Saturday
night but then somehow it had
re-ignited. She said the car had
no registration number and was
likely dumped in the area. While
the fire may have re-ignited by
itself, the spokeswoman said
the cause is not yet known.
Meanwhile, a fire engulfed an
old hay shed in Sheffield in the
early hours of Sunday morning.
Fire crews from the Sheffield and
Springfield stations were called
to fight the blaze on West Coast
Rd, Sheffield, about 12.56am.

• From page 1
District council group manager
environmental and regulatory
services Tim Harris said as a
result of this, a much larger area
of the district has now been
identified as being susceptible to
flooding.
The main change the district
council is proposing is that any
new dwellings built on affected
areas would be required to have a
higher minimum floor height.
“For the majority of properties,
the increase is likely to be only a
few centimetres and would only
affect new projects. It also only for
areas of a property that are at risk
from flooding,” Mr Harris said.
In the meantime, any new
Land Information Memoranda
reports for an affected property
will contain a note indicating that
the property may be susceptible
to flooding and/or coastal erosion
and/or inundation under certain
circumstances.

Submissions sought on bylaw
which could include cats
• By Devon Bolger
RESIDENTS WILL get to
have their say on whether
cats should be controlled
under a new bylaw.
A report presented at a
district council meeting
last week recommended
cats be excluded from the
bylaw about the keeping of
animals, other than dogs,
in urban areas.
But district councillors
agreed to include them in
the consultation document
meaning people will get
to make submissions on
the options for addressing
issues with cats.
A draft bylaw will now
be drawn up and sent to
township committees
in June or July. It
will also include rules
around the keeping of
poultry and bees.
The tabled report
said: “Provisions
relating to the
de-sexing and
microchipping of cats are
problematic with issues.
“These include the quantification
of the perceived
problems caused by cats,
doubt that the provisions
Jeff Bland
in the bylaw will have any
impact on the perceived
problems caused by cats
and a risk that the provisions
will be found to be
unreasonable,” it
said.
Councillor Jeff
Bland said at the
meeting: “My
personal feeling is
that we have to do
something. Cats kill
lizards, birds and
all kinds of things and I
think we need to have the
courage to do something
about it.”
District councillors
also agreed to support the
drafting and implementation
of national legislation
to control cats as well as
submitting to Environment
Canterbury through
its annual plan process to
control feral cats in Canterbury.
Said group manager
environmental and
regulatory services
Tim Harris: “The huge
population growth we’ve
had in the district has
also meant a big increase
in pets and animals
living in our towns so it’s
a good time to start
thinking about the issues
that come with that.”

Prebbleton grateful for
0800 ACLAND
Hornby’s support in fight against waste plant
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
and Devon Bolger
PREBBLETON residents
say they are grateful to have
the support of the Hornby
community.
A group of Prebbleton and
Hornby residents attended the
Christchurch City Council meeting
on Thursday – with many
dressed in protective suits and
masks.
Said Prebbleton
resident
Diane White:
“It was great to
see them at the
meeting. We
Diane White
have a lot of
support from
people outside of Prebbleton trying
to raise awareness about it.
It’s not just a Prebbleton issue.”
Waste Management has applied
to expand its current site
and operate the toxic waste treatment
plant at 305 Marshs Rd in
South Hornby.
In its resource consent application,
it said the plant will
treat and manage items, such as
pesticides, acid, used tyres and
other types of rubbish.
In a fiery deputation to the city
council, Greater Hornby Residents’
Association treasurer Ross
FIGHT: Prebbleton and Hornby residents inside the Christchurch
City Council office on Thursday protesting against a plan to put a
hazardous waste plant in their backyard
Houliston called the consultation
process over Waste Management’s
application to operate a
waste stabilisation and treatment
facility a “dictatorship.”
“You will notice I am dressed
in black, this is normal when
people are in mourning. The
Waipuna area is in mourning
because city council staff have
shown a total lack of respect for
this area by issuing consents to
put this in here.
“No public consultation was
called and residents in our area
weren’t consulted denying them
their democratic right to speak
out on whether locals wanted
this or not,” Mr Houliston said.
It followed a deputation on
Thursday from Ms White on how
the plant could impact the area.
Resource consent was granted
for the proposed plant by the city
council in December 2018.
Environment Canterbury also
granted three consents for its
construction and discharge of
stormwater in March 2019.
The consent application currently
with ECan is only for
activities resulting in discharge
to air.
It ran a limited notified
consent process, which meant
only people within 500m of the
proposed facility had a chance to
have their say.
“The GHRA therefore asks this
consent be placed on hold and a
full and open consultation process
take place,” Mr Houliston
said.
The GHRA has also requested
permanent full monitoring
equipment be installed around
the perimeter of waste management’s

Eagle helicopter and community patrols
Dean Harker
Selwyn Police
Area response manager
Senior Sergeant Dean
Harker talks about police
activity in the district and
community patrols
OVER THE last month, we have
been busy with a number of
incidents occurring across the
district.
A number of residents may have
heard the police Eagle helicopter
flying over the area in recent
weeks. The helicopter has assisted
local staff to apprehend offenders
and hold them to account.
One incident involved Eagle
following three vehicles seen
decamping from a dwelling
burglary in Selwyn, the vehicles
were tracked by the helicopter
and local staff were able to stop
the vehicles and arrest the occupants.
It helped locate a vehicle that
has previously been involved in a
police pursuit that was abandoned
due to the driving of the
offender, this vehicle was followed
by Eagle and local police
were directed to where the vehicle
and occupants were hiding.
It also located a drunk driver
travelling back from Akaroa
where members of the public had
called police concerned with the
manner of driving.
Another event that occurred in
the district was a search warrant
that was executed on a property
occupied by a number of gang
members, a large number of
police staff were involved in the
operation.
Firearms, drugs and other
property of interest were located
and a number of people from the
address are facing charges.
In the last few weeks, I have
been able to attend meetings
with our local community
patrols.
One patrol is based in Darfield
and looks after the Malvern area
and the Selwyn patrol which
covers Lincoln, Prebbleton, West
Melton and other towns within
our district.
The community patrols are a
volunteer organisation, working
in co-operation with the New
Zealand police.
The patrols operate during the
day and at night to help make
our communities safe, the patrols
act as the ‘eyes and ears” for
the police and do not have any
jurisdiction beyond that.
All community patrol members
undergo training and are
assessed prior to joining the
patrols, the patrols themselves
are regularly provided with areas
to patrol by the police.
Members working on these
patrols work on a roster and just
help with the patrols whenever
they can, for some people it may
be as little as one evening or day
per fortnight.
Police rely heavily on community
patrols throughout New
Zealand and our local patrols do
a fantastic job, both patrols are
currently looking for new members
or donations to help them
function.

or have any other inquires contact
your local police station and

On our police district staffing
front, we have just interviewed
and recommended two new police
staff to work in the district.
The vacancies we had were in
Leeston and also Darfield.
These two new members will
be profiled in the Selwyn Times
when their appointments are
confirmed.
Just a friendly reminder
to keep your vehicles and
homes secured and report any
suspicious behaviour to the
police.

Magpie moth often
mistaken for butterfly
A STUNNING looking day-flying
moth that is often mistaken for
a butterfly is the magpie moth,
Nyctemera annulata.
This moth has black wings
with white markings on the
them. The thorax and abdomen
are striped black and orange,
with a wingspan of 35-45mm.
The magpie moth is a New
Zealand endemic and is found
throughout both islands.
Females lay yellow eggs on
undersides of native and exotic
Senecio species, ragwort and
cineraria.
Larvae, or woolly bears as they
are often called, are very hairy,
black and yellow in colour, and
about 35mm when fully grown.
The alkaloids used by plants
as defence against herbivores are
sequestered by larvae and utilised
for their own defence against
birds.
The striped orange and black
markings on both larvae and
moths is a warning of their toxic
bitter taste.
Only the shining cuckoo is
capable of eating the caterpillars.
Magpie moth pupae are also
parasitised by a native wasp
species.
LINCOLN HIGH School has
named its top academic year 11
and 12 students for last year.
The Maureen Drayton Cup
for Excellence in year 12 went to
Kenshin Hayashi while the Pauline
Miller Cup for Excellence in

Riley.
The students achieved the
overall highest academic standard
in their year levels.
Deputy principal Stephen

off until the following year
until the final NCEA results are
known.
Along with Jacinda, Seamus
Moran-Tanner, Daniel Dachs,
Megan Gibbs, Amy Wheeldon,

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
SELWYN TIMES
The Council has started informing landowners of the latest findings on flooding and coastal
hazard risks, and how it’s proposing to manage them in the new District Plan.
As part of the current District Plan Review, the Council is required to assess and manage natural
hazards. It now also has to look at more extreme weather events and the possible effects of
climate change over the next 100 years, says Tim Harris, Council’s Group Manager Environmental
and Regulatory Services.
As is now required, the Council has carried out flood modelling to predict the possible extent
and depth of flooding outside of coastal areas during a one-in-200-year flood, he says.
As a result of this modelling, a much larger area of the district has been identified as susceptible
to flooding.
“A one-in-200-year flood has a 0.5 percent chance of happening in any given year. However, it’s
important we let all affected landowners know of an existing natural hazard and how we propose
to manage it in the new District Plan,” says Mr Harris.
Rules proposed to address this in the new District Plan are similar to the current plan, but include
an increased minimum floor height for all new dwellings in affected areas. This proposed height
would be 300mm above a one-in-200-year flood level, instead of the current one-in-50-year level.
These rules would come into effect with the new plan, which is expected to be in place in mid-2022.
From this week, as is legally required, any new Land Information Memorandum (LIM) reports for
an affected property will contain a note indicating it may be susceptible to flooding, or coastal
erosion, or inundation under certain circumstances. The note will identify the latest technical
information held by the Council.
The Council is expecting to notify the Proposed District Plan for public consultation by the middle
of this year.
For more information, including a map of affected areas and all the technical reports, check out
the Council’s engagement hub at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.
For further questions you can call the Council on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or talk to a planner at
one of our public drop-in sessions.
Please check closer to the time for any changes to the schedule.

Tertiary Scholarships
supporting success
Scholarships from Selwyn District Council are helping Selwyn young
people thrive beyond school.
The Council awarded six tertiary education scholarships to year 12
and 13 students at Darfield High School, Ellesmere College and
Lincoln High School in 2019, for a broad range of tertiary education
and training. This year, scholarships will also be offered to students
at Rolleston College.
The scholarships have been expanded to encourage diversity, reach
and access.
Students are encouraged to apply if they have achieved academic,
sporting, cultural, or art successes at school, in clubs, or
organisations, or overcome barriers or hardships.
Mekaela Fleener, from Ellesmere College, received a scholarship to
purchase a violin for her music studies at the University of Canterbury.
“I think the scholarship is a really neat opportunity, especially for
those who aren’t good at getting high marks, who might have merit
in other places.”
Molly Barker, from Lincoln High School, bought seven health science
textbooks for her studies at Otago University with her scholarship.
“I think it’s really great to have a scholarship from outside of your
school. The external party can view candidates more equally.”
Mayor Sam Broughton says the scholarships have a wider impact
than just helping individuals.
“There are many ambitious young people in Selwyn focussed
on furthering their education to in turn contribute to their families
and community.”
Councillor Jenny Gallagher has been involved with the
scholarships for over five years and says the scholarships ensure
Selwyn youth have similar access to opportunities as those in
bigger metropolitan areas.
Councillor Shane Epiha was also on the selection panel and thought
every individual was a worthy candidate.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for our rangatahi future leaders –
some have amazing stories of perseverance overcoming
challenging situations.”
Directory helps local businesses
connect
The refreshed Selwyn Business Directory helps businesses in the
district with another chance to be seen and make connections.
The searchable online directory is open for businesses to sign up,
offering the opportunity to advertise their details including a map
location, contacts, website and social media links and a summary
of their business.
With almost 500 businesses already listing their details and more
joining every week, the directory is part of Council’s work to support
local businesses and encourage people to think local when looking
for goods and services, Community Services and Facilities group
manager Denise Kidd says.
As well as providing a free opportunity to promote to customers in the
district to customers the directory will help business to business links,
she says. “The directory is a great tool for finding local resources to
assist your business. As a smaller district we know businesses are
strengthened by looking at where they can complement each other
and by working together and the directory’s a good way to connect.”

For Reza Zarnekabi an internet search for a short study stint has turned into a new life.
Born in northwest Iran, Reza was working in a consulting engineers’ company when he decided he
wanted to continue his studies further with a PhD.
He jumped on the internet and found Lincoln University offering exactly what he wanted to study. In
April 2012, Reiza and his wife Leila made the move to New Zealand, where the native Turkish speakers
had to spend six months in Auckland to learn English before finally making the move to Christchurch.
Not planning to be here for long Reza took unpaid leave from his job in Iran.
Housing was tight in the years following the earthquakes and they had to stay in a hotel, before
securing a one bedroom flat in the city centre.
While studying Reza landed work at a consulting engineering company, similar to his job in Iran. Juggling
study and work proved tricky, so he eventually made the tough decision to terminate his study after two
years and has been working successfully and happily at the consultant engineering company since.
He and Leila have gained residency and built their own house in
Lincoln, where the country air feels much more like home.
The couple love New Zealand and its acceptance of different
cultures and diversity. They have travelled most of the South
Island and think it’s beautiful. They’ve made friends in the
Iranian community in Christchurch, as well as with tramping,
gaming and dinner groups.
They are unsure about what their future holds in New Zealand,
but for now they are happy; they have found a great community.
Arthur’s Pass Community Fête returns
The Arthur’s Pass Community Fête is coming back with an extra autumn fête held this weekend.
About 700 people attended the first community fête last year, held by the YMCA Arthur’s Pass Outdoor
Education Centre.
The organisers were supported by the Selwyn Community Fund, which provides funding to community
groups, including to hold events and activities that promote Selwyn’s uniqueness, help build the
community and encourage visitors to the district.
Arthur's Pass Outdoor Education Centre Manager Gemma Murphy says the funding was an important
part of being able to get such a good turn-out at the first fête.
“The funding Selwyn District Council generously contributed enabled us to advertise the event through
newspapers, posters and social media. As this was the first event of its kind here, we needed to
promote it far and wide,” Miss Murphy said.
The fête will include music, a bouncy castle, a raffle, local craft and second-hand clothing stalls, fun
activities for kids and light refreshments.
The Arthur’s Pass Outdoor Education Centre run
programmes focussed on teaching basic outdoor
skills and environmental education for young people to
discover what New Zealand has to offer and how they
can enjoy it safely.
Money raised will be put towards providing
experiences and opportunities for free, or at low cost,
and equipment such as rain jackets and tents for
children who have participation barriers.

believes that many hands make
light work ahead of their annual
race meeting at Riccarton Park
on Saturday.
Mrs Chesmar is the first woman
to be president of the club in
its 136-year history, having taken
over the role this season, but said
it was the hard-working committee
members she works with
which makes the day possible.
“I really just consider myself
the conductor of an orchestra in
many ways,” she said.
Hororata’s annual meeting
has been at Riccarton since the
1980s. Mrs Chesmar said it was a
relationship that worked well.

doubles fixtures to turn around
a 5-3 deficit after the singles
matches were completed.
West Melton had lost just once
all season, to Kirwee-Springston
on a countback of games played.
Saturday’s result was more definitive
as Kirwee-Springston’s mixed
doubles power shone through.
The Kirwee-Springston trio of
Sebastian On, Bevan Johns and
Heather Boomer went unbeaten
throughout their singles, doubles
and mixed doubles fixtures.
Sebastian’s third win of the day,
in the mixed doubles with Kerry
Noble secured the title.
West Melton’s Blake Cullen
Pavle Fillipovic, Juliette Ma,
Jade and Jane Brosnahan all won
their singles matches but they

Speedway mate to be honoured at Ruapuna
SPORT
• By Allan Batt
TWO SELWYN speedway
drivers will honour a mate this
weekend at Ruapuna Speedway.
The recent death of Auckland
Speedway identity Bryce
Townsend will be marked with a
special tribute on Saturday night
with Lincoln’s Jeremy Webb and
Rolleston’s Kyle Glover both
eager to race in his memory.
Glover is one of the South
Island’s top TQ
midget racers
and like many
he was shocked
by Townsend’s
passing.
“Bryce had
Kyle Glover
been there, and
done that in the
speedway world
but he was never short of time to
assist any racer with a word of
encouragement and advice,” he
said.
“I travelled to the US with
him on a couple of his tours and
everyone knew him.
“In many ways he was the face
of New Zealand Speedway over
there.”
Webb said Townsend will
never be far from his thoughts.
“Bryce was instrumental
in getting me the drive for
MOTIVATED: Lincon’s Jeremy Webb will be in action this weekend to pay tribute to friend and mentor Bryce Townsend (right).
the Clausen-Marshall team at
this year’s Chilli Bowl.
“To be part of the world’s biggest
midget car show, was to me,
an impossible dream until Bryce
got involved.
“He could have recommended
any one of a number of top
Auckland drivers, but he backed
me. My crew and I will be forever
grateful.
“I’ve known him most of my
life and I looked up to him as a
person, mentor and racer.”
Two of Townsend’s close
friends and fellow Aucklanders
Jayden Worthington and Max
Guilford are making the trip
south to contest the Midget Mayhem
event.
Guilford, just a second year
midget car racer was being mentored
by Townsend, and earlier
this season capped off his rapid
progress by being selected to race
for the New Zealand Midget car
test team.
Townsend was a regular competitor
at Ruapuna throughout
his career, and once his racing
days were over he continued to
support the track and many of its
competitors.
Ruapuna club president Allan
Daly said that it was important
that Bryce’s contribution to the
sport were recognised.
“He raced here as often as
he could, and then went on to
encouraging drivers to travel
south to support our track. He
was also a highly recognised
crew chief and freely passed on
help.”
The meeting will also feature
the annual Quake City
Sprintcar Stampede and over
a dozen drivers have entered,
including Nelson’s Alicia
McLauchlan and Blenheim racer
Paddy North.
It will also be the first
appearance for the season at
Ruapuna of Hornby’s Matthew
Leversedge, who has been
campaigning at Auckland’s
Western Springs.
Leversedge’s clash with current
South Island champion Jamie
Duff is eagerly anticipated.

How is Covid-19 spread?
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It’s caused by a type
of coronavirus. There are simple steps you can take to protect you and your family/whānau.
How is it spread?
COVID-19, like the flu, can be spread from person to person. When a person who
has COVID-19 coughs, sneezes or talks, they may spread droplets containing the virus
a short distance, which quickly settle on surrounding surfaces.
You may get infected by the virus if you touch those surfaces or objects and then
touch your mouth, nose or eyes.
That’s why it’s really important to use good hygiene, regularly wash and thoroughly
dry your hands, and use good cough etiquette.
What can I do to stop COVID-19 spreading?
•Cough or sneeze into your elbow or by covering your mouth and nose with tissues.
•Put used tissues in the bin or a bag immediately.
•Wash your hands with soap and water often (for at least 20 seconds).
•Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
•Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean.
•Avoid personal contact, such as kissing, sharing cups or food with sick people.
•Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs.
•Stay home if you feel unwell and call Healthline on 0800 358 5453.

Gardening
Plant now for autumn vegetables
• By Henri Ham
AFTER THE dry, hot summer
most of us have had, it feels
a little strange writing about
autumn and winter vege just yet.
But as many a gardener knows,
preparation is the key to the
success of any vege patch. So, if
you want to enjoy plenty of vege
from your garden in the cooler
months, you really need to get
started now.
First start by clearing out
any old plants that have passed
their time. I’ll be pulling out old
tomato stalks, dried up courgette
plants and many herbs that have
gone to seed.
Give your soil a good turning
over and remove any clumpy
roots and debris. Try to break
down the larger lumps in the soil
that your plants may struggle to
grow roots through. Top up with
compost, sheep pallets, top soil
and a give a good feed of general
fertiliser.
For plants, I’m going to focus
on my greens as they will go well
in autumn and right now I feel
like greens will help balance out
my ‘indulgent’ summer. These
include cauliflower, silverbeet,
cabbage and broccoli.
If you want a variation on plain
broccoli, try broccoflower. It has
a milder and slightly sweeter
taste to cauliflower – and looks
like a lime green cauliflower. Or
Italian (Romanesco) broccoli,
with its light green clusters of
heads that resemble sea coral.
The unusual tip of each spear
is conical rather than round,
looking like the ‘royal’ version.
It tastes more like true broccoli,
but at its very best!
Also try the newest (and
trendiest) member of the broccoli
family, broccolini (tasty
stems); a hybrid between broccoli
and Chinese broccoli. It’s
slightly sweeter than normal
broccoli. You can compare its
GROWTH:
Brassicas
should be
planted
35-50cm
apart.
taste to asparagus, and it’s ideal
for stir-fries.
And now to plant your broccoli.
Firstly, they like a freedraining
and sunny spot, and to
be planted in a new place each
year. This crop rotation will
ensure premium growth and
quality. When you’ve found your
perfect place to plant, dig holes
roughly twice the size of the
seedling, around 35-50cm apart.
Place inside and firmly press the
soil down with your hands.
These brassicas will all take
a while to mature, so consider
popping in faster growing plants
between each seedling – this is
called companion planting. Pak
choy, beetroot, radish, spring
onions and spinach are all fast
growing veges you can poke in
between your larger brassicas,
and harvest before the brassicas
are ready.
Lastly, apply mulch. This will
help keep the weeds down and
retain moisture. Pea straw and
bark mulch are popular choices,
but pine needles, wet newspaper
strips and even wool packing
from your ‘My Food Bag’ will do
the trick.
When it comes to harvesting
your broccoli heads, cut them off
diagonally. This will encourage
new mini-heads to grow, giving
you a long cropping season. And,
if you suddenly find all your
broccoli is ready at once and you
don’t quite have the stomach
for it, remember it freezes really
well.
Simply place in a snap lock
bag, and it will keep nicely for a
few months.

Taking a feng shui
perspective
Everyone’s living space is
different so there’s no one-size-fitsall
approach to the philosophy of
feng shui, whether you reside in a
small apartment or a large home.
Feng shui is a practice that by
looking at our built environments
we can live in harmony with the
principles of the natural world.
Feng means “wind” and shui
translates to “water” in Chinese.
This comes from an ancient poem
and reflects upon how human life
can be ideal if we connect and
live in flow with the environment
around us.
Feng shui can help you make
the most of your living space
by harmonising its energy flow.
Feng shui splits the world into
five elements: wood (creativity
and growth); fire (leadership
and boldness); earth (strength
and stability); metal (focus and
order) and water (emotion and
inspiration). Working to balance
these elements can help their
corresponding traits to thrive in
your life.
There’s a lot more to feng shui
but these are some basic ideas.
Use your front door
Many people live in homes where
they drive up into the garage and
use the back door to get in. While
this is very convenient, from a feng
shui perspective this may limit
good energy and opportunities in
your life because again, the entry
door represents how chi energy
enters your home and life.
Space above the kitchen
cabinets
Take a look at your kitchen
cabinets and check to see if there
is space above them. This space
can attract dust and stagnant
energy. The chi gets stuck there
and encourages dead energy which
may hold you back in your life.
If there is a space, some lighting,
green plants (live or very realistic
looking) or beautiful and loved
objects in this location. These
objects bring life to this area and
transforms the energy.
Cover up the TV in your
bedroom
Most of us have televisions in our
bedroom. The active energy of the
television as well as the electronic
aspect of it may be disruptive to the
type of calming quiet energy more
conducive to sleep and bedrooms
so one idea is to cover up the TV.
Clean all windows
Your home’s windows symbolise
your eyes to the world. We want
to be able to see and experience
everything that the universe has to
offer us. Find some old newspaper,
grab a bottle of vinegar and water
and clean away the grime.
This is a very simple introduction
to feng shui but there is plenty
more information online if you
are keen to find out how you can
embrace this philosophy within
your own home.

Choosing carpet
made easier
Being able to select a new carpet is
so much easier when you can see the
samples at home and how they look under
different lights or alongside your colour
scheme and furniture.
Recarpeting your home is certainly a
big undertaking in terms of updating the
look of your much-loved home and, with
so many different ranges in both carpet
and hard flooring, making a choice can be
difficult.
Harrisons Carpet has a team of mobile
carpet retailers who are available seven
days a week to bring a wide range of
flooring options straight to your door so
you do not have to travel to a showroom
and return samples once you have
finished.
Amanda Wilson has owned and
operated Harrisons Carpet Canterbury
Country, including the Selwyn district, for
five years. The combination of the quality
flooring products Harrisons supplies
and a genuine interest in her clients, has
Amanda loving what she does.
“It’s a real privilege to be invited into
people’s homes,” she says, “and I’m grateful
for the trust they put in me”.
Initial consultations are done over the
phone or online at the Harrisons website
(www.harrisonscarpet.co.nz) and a
mutually convenient time is scheduled for
Amanda to meet you at your home.
With laser technology and smart
devices, measuring and quoting is a
simple, quick process, done on the spot.
Carpet is chosen, arrangements are
made to move furniture – you can
do it yourself or Harrisons offer a
competitively priced service – and the
installation takes place.
“This is usually carried out over no
more than one or two days, as quickly
and conveniently as possible with fully
qualified, professional installers,” says
Amanda.
As part of her service, she is always
available to offer advice and tips or
suggestions about décor and you have the

Saving time, money and water
on your irrigation needs
Now the hot days of summer are
almost over, it is a great time to think
about upgrading your watering system
to some of the latest cost effective and
easy to use automated options, according
to Phil Hudson from locally owned
company Freeman Irrigation.
The latest technology comes into play
with automated WiFi – the sprinklers can
be connected to weather station forecasts
so if rain is expected the amount of water
is reduced.
Automatic systems save water by
irrigation at the correct time of day,
minimising evaporation.
Being able to operate your system
remotely also means you can adjust the
flow at any time to suit the conditions,
saving water and money and a built-in
water system not only adds value to your
property but they also work while you
are way on holiday.
“We have a range of smartphone
controllers and rain sensors that can be
fitted to most systems, allowing to have
easy control from anywhere. If you want
to save money and conserve water a good
rain sensor is an affordable solution,” says
Phil.
Heading into the cooler months is also
a great time for maintenance on your
irrigation systems after the hot summer.
Some of the basic problems include
clogged sprinklers; leaking sprinklers and
valves; obstructed sprinklers; leaking/
blocked solenoid valves; overspray onto
footpaths, streets or buildings; design
problems; missing nozzles or pipe leaks
and breaks.
Freeman Irrigation has a range of
irrigation services, not just for residential
homes but also parks, golf courses,
horticultural and viticultural properties,
sub-divisions and commercial properties.

Beautiful gardens create appeal
A beautifully landscaped lawn and
garden create the finishing touches
to the curb appeal of every home and
property.
Figuring out what landscape
components you want in your outdoor
area can be difficult, particularly
when there are so many options but
often a fresh eye can give you a new
perspective.
Engaging an expert like Sharon from
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design can
make a huge difference to the look of
your outdoor area, resulting in a garden
that exudes that professional touch.
Sharon covers all aspects of landscape
design from the initial site consultation
to preparing design concepts and
planting proposals, making it easy
for the homeowners to implement
themselves if that want to. If not Sharon
Crofts Landscape Design has a team of
experienced and professional contracts
who will complete the work to exacting
standards.
They work throughout Canterbury
including residential properties,
rural and lifestyle blocks and new
subdivisions, particularly in the Selwyn
area.
Sharon enjoys working collaboratively
with her clients and transforming initial
plans into reality within budget and on
time. Her many years of experience also
help when it comes to what planting
works in the Canterbury climate and
with local soils.
With the advent of cooler weather
it is a good time to up keep lawn
maintenance such as topdressing and
fertilising to boost new growth.
If you are thinking of creating a new
area within your garden new plants will
make better progress now that the hot
summer months are over and, if planted
now, they will make some good growth
during autumn.
It is also a good time to think about
plants that may not be in the right
position. They could be wrenched in
autumn (dug around) and uplifted
during the winter months.
“Of course not all plants are keen on
this so it is best to get some professional
advice on which plants may or may not
easily shift,” says Sharon.
Whether your landscape project is
small or large give Sharon a call at

Meat exports hit record high,
but coronavirus looms
Export prices for meat achieved their
highest-ever level in the December 2019
quarter, according to Stats NZ.
“Meat export prices have risen for three
quarters in a row, on the back of strong
demand towards the end of last year,” says
Stats NZ business prices manager Bryan
Downes said.
Meat volumes rose 3.2%, and values rose
12% in the December 2019 quarter.
“Over the year, meat prices also rose,
with both beef and lamb prices up,” says
Downes.
The impact of coronavirus on New
Zealand’s export prices is yet to be
announced by Stats NZ.
“Exports of meat and logs increased
towards the end of 2019, before the
outbreak of coronavirus in China,” says
Downes. China is New Zealand’s biggest
trading partner.
“Any impact of the coronavirus on
prices for our goods and services, mainly
because of disruptions to global trade,
could be reflected in the March 2020
quarter,” says Downes.
Wood export prices also rose in the
December 2019 quarter, up 8.2%, partly
recovering from falls in the previous two
quarters.
Illustration: Graph from Stats NZ
Partly offsetting the rise in meat and
wood export prices was a 2.4% fall in
dairy prices.
While volumes were up 14%, the value
of dairy exports rose by only 11%.
The fall in dairy prices was driven by
an 11% fall in butter prices in the latest
quarter.
However, butter prices remain at
historically high levels following strong
price increases a few years ago. Overall,
export prices rose 3.0% in the December
2019 quarter.
Wood export prices also rose in the

recovering from falls in the previous two
quarters.

Sedan boosts Toyota Corolla load space
TOYOTA NEW Zealand is
pulling no punches marketing its
Corolla range.
Not only are there a handful of
new variants within the range -
bearing in mind the latest generation
series landed here just over
two years ago - but a fresh pricing
structure makes for value-packed
buying across sedan, hatchback
and wagon options.
I recently evaluated the new
wagon and remarked on its
value at just below $30k; another
newcomer is the SX sedan and it
is the subject of this evaluation. It
is also value at $32,990, and to be
honest if I was a buyer I couldn’t
choose between the two, I particularly
like wagons and sedans,
and both have special appeal,
although the sedan with its 2-litre
engine against 1.8-litre for the
wagon may just tip the balance.
And SX grade is certainly for
me, it translates to cloth interior
trim, but it also has plenty of other
goodies to keep me happy in the
cabin such as sat nav, paddle shifters,
and radar cruise control. The
latter is part of the Toyota Sense
suite of safety kit that is fitted
throughout the Corolla range and
it is state-of-the-art, easily earning
a five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program rating.
A totally new platform was developed
for the latest generation
Corolla, and it formed the basis
for the extensive array of body
styles that all sit on a complex
fully independent suspension system.
This draws me to the range,
I like the idea of all four corners
working in their own way and
with the spring and damper rates
set to a medium compromise the
Corolla sedan feels sporty and
well attached to the road.
In saying that, the SX variant
rides on 205/55 x 16in Dunlop
rubber, there’s nothing wrong
with the handling and the tyres
are very quiet, but if I was a
buyer I think I’d opt for an 18in
wheel which is standard on other
Corolla models, they would offer
a lot more presence.
There are no surprises under
the bonnet, well there are in some
ways, the new sedan is available
as a hybrid as well.
However, the SX is solely reliant
on petrol power, its 2-litre engine
is now well-established into the
Corolla hatch and sedan, and it
is a no-nonsense unit with power
figures of 125kW and 200Nm, the
outputs realised at 6600rpm and
4100rpm respectively.
While the latter would appear
to make the engine peaky, that’s
not the case, the engine is happy
to work low down, and with its
TOYOTA COROLLA SEDAN: Huge boot space.
pairing to a continuously variable
transmission the engine finds its
happy place through the midrange.
Toyota have worked hard
with the CVT system, it now works
almost like a traditional torque
converter automatic with physical
gears, it is a 10-step system and can
be locked into any pre-set step by
sequentially using the main gearshift
lever or paddles.
As an aside, there’s also a sport
mode which heightens engine
urgency and adjusts the way the
ratio works so that acceleration
can be ushered in just that little
bit quicker. Toyota claims a 9.2sec
standstill to 100km/h time, while
by my stopwatch a 5.4sec 80km/h
to 120km/h overtaking time can
be achieved.
These figures relate to brisk
motoring, the beauty of a 2-litre
engine is that it’s not working
hard, the sedan weighs in at
around 1300kg, which means a
healthy power-to-weight ratio.
That also means the engine isn’t
working hard for the majority
of the time and that translates
to respectable fuel usage figures.
Toyota also claims a six-litre per
100km combined cycle average.
That correlates well with the fuel
usage display within the car, it
was constantly listing around
7.1l/100km with 5l/100km showing
instantaneously at 100km/h.
What makes the fuel usage figures
so appealing is that I evaluated
the Corolla sedan on one of
the hottest days of Christchurch’s
summer. Normally, I never use air
conditioning, but with temperatures
hovering around 35 deg C I
had the air on most of the time.
Combining good performance
and economy isn’t achieved easily,
but given the Corolla’s long
history that’s something Toyota
has been able to work on over the
years, it is wonderfully efficient,
yet all models feel feisty and
there’s just that element of sporty
appeal that will lure those who
like to push along a bit when the

• Fuel usage – 6l/100km
open road beckons.
It’s also nice to know that when
the long straights run out there
is a chassis underneath that is
capable of dealing with the twists
and turns without affecting the
level of comfort we have come to
expect from one of the automotive
world’s most successful
nameplates.
For the record, Toyota lists the
sedan’s boot space with a load capacity
of 470-litres, that compares
to 294-litres for the hatch and
390-litres for the wagon. Interesting
figures which will certainly
get those who are looking for
load space scratching their heads.
Toyota is pushing hard the
hybrid message, however, there’s
still a lot of life left in petrol only
engines only. The Corolla in all
forms is a fuel miser and I’d find
it a difficult choice to choose
between either.
However, the SX sedan
certainly captures my attention
for its honesty and all round
appeal.

WHALAN AND PARTNERS LTD, BAYLEYS, LICENSED REAA 2008
Make small fixes
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes,
and correct the flaws that are most
egregious (if affordable) or can be
relatively easily fixed—from repairing
cracks in the walkways to repainting
dingy walls or oiling creaky hinges.
Select the best real estate agent
For a commission, an agent will take care
of many details you may not want to be
bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls,
making signs, etc.) and bring experience
to the table. To find a good one, ask
friends and relatives, then interview
several candidates.
Set a price
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the
market. Check out
comparable listings
yourself in the real
estate section of
your newspaper or
on websites. Then
decide whether you
want a quick, easy
sale or the highest
possible price.
Clean & declutter
Weed out excess
furniture,
knicknacks, and
“stuff ”—toss it,
donate it, give
it away, sell it at a garage sale, or put
it into storage—so the house seems
more spacious and buyers can imagine
themselves in it.
Stay vigiliant about maintenance
Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed,
gardens weeded, rooms spotless and
clutter-free.
Ready your home for open days
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh
flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of
cookies for the homey smell, open the
drapes, keep pets out of sight.
Decide whether to do your own
building inspection
It may save you time, especially with
older homes, to identify—and potentially
solve—problems your buyer’s inspection
will discover later.

Confident at Auctions
Looking confident may be all you need to be the last
bidder standing when the hammer goes down.
Does your blood pressure go sky-high at
the sight of an auction room? Chances are
some of your fellow bidders are doing all
in their power to psych you out and win
the bidding.
Securing a property isn’t just about
having the most money. Sometimes the
winning bidder is the one with the most
confidence.
They use psychology to convince
opposing bidders to give up, hoping to
make everyone else think they’ve got more
to spend than anyone else in the room.
Too often buyers have preconceived
ideas about how the auction will unfold
and have their confidence knocked when it
doesn’t go their way.
Two can play at that game. You just need
to get your strategy right.
Looking confident may be all you need
to be the last bidder standing when the
hammer goes down.
To be that person you need to do some
preparation. Make sure you go to a few
auctions first to get used to them.
Come bidding day, park yourself on
the side at the front so that you can
see everyone in the room and, more
importantly, they can see you whether
they’re at the back of the front.
It gives you a vantage point and shows
the opposition you are bidding confidently
against them.
You are hoping that the other buyers
have a plan in place.
Often that’s to start low. So if you come
in with a relatively high first bid, you may
rattle them.
“The lower the open bid the more people
can afford to bid. So you could knock out
some of the opposition before they even
place a bid if you choose the right opener.
Don’t start at $500,000 for a house you
know is going to go for at least $800,000.
Put an opening bid of $785,000.
Immediately your opposition is going to
think it will go incredibly high and might
be unnerved.
Call each bid out confidently. “It shows
you are comfortable and in control.
The more confident you seem the more
people will think you have done it before.
It’s a really good idea to vary your
bidding increments.. If it’s going up by
$2000 bids and it’s below your limit don’t
be afraid to put a $10,000 bid in..
Your competition is always thinking
about that next $2000 bid and if you
change the rhythm from $2000 to $10,000
you show you have the money and it
changes where their next bid has to be.
Instead of $4000 more it is $12,000 more.
Finally, if you’re a couple, make sure
you’ve discussed every aspect of the
auction before you get there. As soon
as you start looking at each other or
conferring, the opposition will think
you’re weak.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
New showhomes
opening in Selwyn
The district’s showhome scene is changing. Still
concentrated around Lincoln or Rolleston, there are
showhome villages in new residential housing estates
and a few standalone showhomes.
Some showhomes double as a base for a building
company. Most showcase their workmanship and
type of homes they specialise in. All offer ideas on
building products and trends.
When viewing a showhome, allocate time. It will
take more than one afternoon to view all in the
district. You might make a quick visit to each, noting
those to revisit for a longer perusal.
All but one showhome in Lincoln, is situated in the
newer part of Te Whāriki’s Southfield Drive. Here
seven building companies offer a total of eight homes
to view, of varying size, design and level of fittings
and features. Three more showhomes can be found
in Lincoln’s Flemington, with two due to close soon.
If looking to build at the higher end of the market,
the Te Whāriki showhomes of Faye Homes and
Hallmark Homes, along with Homes by Maxim in
Flemington and R&B Builders’ showhome in The
Borough, Rolleston should top your list. Many other
showhomes also offer innovative ideas for how style
can be added to a new home.
It is changing of the guard for showhomes in
Rolleston. Faringdon’s East Maddisons Road village
is slowly winding down with a number now closed.
The remaining showhomes are worth a view.
New showhomes are under construction or
have opened in The Borough, Faringdon’s latest
development, with more to open in the next month
or so. A total of 14 showhomes are to be constructed
there. A smaller showhome village is being
established at Acland Park.
Along the Springston Rolleston Road, Today
Homes’ showhome is open every afternoon. BT
Builders and Generation Homes have showhomes at
the entrance to Branthwaite on the Lincoln Rolleston
Road and there are seven showhomes open in
Falcons Landing with an eighth due to open in June.
Two more standalone showhomes can be found in
Rolleston: Freedom Built on Goulds Road (open
Monday to Thursday or by appointment) and Full
Circle Homes at 12 Lignite Drive in Stonebrook,
(open for viewing by appointment).
While most showhomes are open 12noon-4pm
from Wednesday to Sunday, the opening hours for
others are different. Details can usually be found
on a company’s website. Most are happy to open by
appointment.
To make the most of your showhome viewing,
keep an open mind when visiting each home. On
entering, ask the consultant for its details: the size of
the home (this influences how spacious each room
will look), what is standard within the home and
additional features which will cost more, and the
price to build that particular home. Take notes or
photos of fittings and features you like, being realistic
about your wish list and bearing in mind your
budget as this will influence what can ultimately be
incorporated into your new home.
