A LINCOLN couple has<br />

created a time-travelling robot<br />

character to teach young<br />

children in the district about<br />

the environment.<br />

Businesses<br />

need your<br />

backing<br />

<strong>June</strong> and Ian Burney designed<br />

Tock the robot using<br />

computer-generated imagery<br />

earlier this year.<br />

Mr Burney works in the<br />

IT industry and Mrs Burney<br />

runs educational music sessions<br />

in pre-schools.<br />

They have used the character<br />

they made as the centrepiece<br />

of a book they wrote to engage<br />

children in caring for the<br />

climate.<br />

The aim is for the Burney’s<br />

Doing a bit<br />

to battle<br />

climate change<br />

Support<br />

mounts for<br />

council to<br />

put brakes<br />

on rates<br />

increase<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

A PROPOSAL to put the brakes<br />

on a rates increase for this year<br />

will take its next step with public<br />

hearings of the Annual Plan<br />

starting this week.<br />

The district council consulted<br />

on the options for the rates levels<br />

in the next financial year as part<br />

of the plan.<br />

The feedback received will help<br />

to form its decision on the level of<br />

the rates for the <strong>2020</strong>/21 financial<br />

year starting on July 1.<br />

The other options being considered<br />

are proceeding with the<br />

proposed 3.5 per cent average<br />

increase and seeking to reduce the<br />

planned increase by identifying<br />

savings.<br />

A total of 233 submissions were<br />

received on the draft Annual Plan<br />

<strong>2020</strong>/21.<br />

Of these, 60 submitters have<br />

asked to be heard in person at the<br />

public hearings which are running<br />

on Tuesday and Wednesday<br />

this week at the district council<br />

chambers in Rolleston.<br />

Burnham tyre plant plan goes flat<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

A LARGE-SCALE plant<br />

designed to break down end-oflife<br />

tyres is no longer proceeding<br />

at Burnham.<br />

The district council approved<br />

leasing land at the Pines<br />

Resource Recovery Park, in<br />

Burnham, to allow Eneform Ltd<br />

to construct a<br />

tyre pyrolysis<br />

plant in 2018.<br />

Pyrolysis is<br />

the thermochemical<br />

decomposition<br />

of<br />

Andrew<br />

Simcock<br />

organic material<br />

at elevated<br />

temperatures<br />

SHIFT: A plant that would break down end-of-life tyres to<br />

convert them into oil and gas will no longer be proceeding at<br />

the Pines Resource Recovery Park. ​<br />

which is then converted into<br />

energy-rich oil and gas.<br />

Eneform Ltd chief executive<br />

Andrew Simcock said they will<br />

no longer be going in at the<br />

recovery park.<br />

“We had plans to build the facility<br />

in Christchurch but recent<br />

developments mean it still could<br />

potentially go in somewhere else<br />

in the district,” he said.<br />

District council solid waste<br />

manager Andrew Boyd said he<br />

has recently been in discussions<br />

with a new company, H2 Solutions<br />

Ltd, about its containerised<br />

French pyrolysis technology.<br />

“The appeal of H2 is that it is<br />

European technology, which has<br />

strict environmental standards,<br />

and has been commercialised<br />

for approximately 15 years, with<br />

plants operating in Western<br />

countries as opposed to prototype<br />

machines,” she said.<br />

H2 Solutions Ltd is interested<br />

in leasing the area of the Pines<br />

Resource Recovery Park originally<br />

set aside for the Eneform<br />

Ltd lease.<br />

Mr Boyd said conversations<br />

are centering around processing<br />

farm plastics, local dairy industry<br />

plastic and potentially other<br />

soft plastics from commercial<br />

sources.<br />

H2 Solutions Ltd’s system<br />

would be able to separately<br />

process materials such as<br />

plastics, paper, cardboard,<br />

wood, biosolids, and tyres.<br />

The type of outputs of the<br />

system can be varied according<br />

to demand including gas, oil and<br />

hydrogen.<br />

Mr Boyd said: “With the<br />

ongoing international recycling<br />

situation continuing to look<br />

very fragile, onshore processing<br />

options such as H2 could form<br />

part of the solution.<br />

“This is all at its very early<br />

stages and the council is meeting,<br />

as it does from time to time<br />

with businesses, to learn about<br />

their services. There is no firm<br />

commitment attached,” he said.<br />

Currently, tyres are landfilled,<br />

exported as waste, stockpiled<br />

or used as silage cover in the<br />

agriculture industry.<br />

About a fortnight ago a fire at<br />

the Diggalink yard on Weedons<br />

Rd spread to a large pile of tyres<br />

which was near State Highway 1<br />

in Rolleston.<br />

•A six-week delay is expected<br />

on the first stage of the project<br />

to upgrade the Pines Resource<br />

Recovery Park due to Covid-19.<br />

The first stage includes<br />

relocating and expanding the<br />

recycling and reusables drop-off<br />

area, with a canopy, parking<br />

and operational area. Further<br />

stages of the project will be<br />

built form 2021-2024 and will<br />

include a reuse shop, salvage<br />

materials yard, education centre,<br />

microenterprise units and a<br />

multi-purpose waste hub.<br />

In Brief<br />

EV CHARGERS PLANNED<br />

Electric vehicle chargers are<br />

set to be installed across the<br />

district. The first sites are<br />

planned at Arthur’s Pass, Castle<br />

Hill, Springfield, Dunsandel,<br />

and Leeston. A district council<br />

spokesman said proposed<br />

locations have been identified but<br />

these are subject to consultation<br />

first with relevant township and<br />

community committees. The<br />

spokesman said the chargers are<br />

expected to be installed by the<br />

end of the year if not earlier.<br />

2000 LIGHTS REPLACED<br />

Work on replacing older street<br />

lights with more efficient LEDs<br />

is progressing well with nearly<br />

2000 lights replaced so far. The<br />

Ellesmere and Malvern zones<br />

have been completed apart<br />

from a few errant lights that are<br />

being addressed. The <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

central zone is the next area to<br />

be finished. The district council<br />

is spending about $3.3 million<br />

on the project to replace 5800<br />

streetlights across the district.<br />

Siana Fitzjohn<br />

Activist takes up the fight against coal<br />

Siana Fitzjohn is a fighter<br />

for the environment. She<br />

talks to Devon Bolger<br />

about her work with<br />

Extinction Rebellion and<br />

mounting opposition to<br />

a coal mine expansion in<br />

the district<br />

How did you get started with<br />

Extinction Rebellion?<br />

I had just come back from a<br />

trip to see my family in England.<br />

I had finished up my masters<br />

in science communication in<br />

Dunedin and went overseas for<br />

a while to recover. I had sort<br />

of put climate activism on the<br />

backburner for a good year or so<br />

but when I came back and saw<br />

how much energy was rising up<br />

in Christchurch around climate<br />

issues I wanted to be involved.<br />

Extinction Rebellion just seemed<br />

to inspire a lot of people and get<br />

a lot of people involved, so I saw<br />

it as a way to jump back into<br />

climate activism without the<br />

responsibility of taking on an<br />

entire group myself.<br />

What is Extinction Rebellion?<br />

It is a group that supports and<br />

encourages citizens uprising in<br />

New Zealand that involves low<br />

level and higher risk acts of civil<br />

PASSION: Siana Fitzjohn with her kunekune Splodge and sheep Little Hope. The climate activist<br />

also has a love for animals.<br />

disobedience. It is about trying<br />

to change the trajectory we are<br />

on as humans at the moment.<br />

Tell me about your role as a<br />

spokesperson there.<br />

We did a blockade of a coal<br />

train last year in Christchurch<br />

and launched a bit of a<br />

rebellion against coal. I was<br />

the spokesperson at that action<br />

and with the stuff around the<br />

Bathurst coal mine in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

I have been particularly<br />

passionate about resisting coal<br />

mining in New Zealand since I<br />

went over to the West Coast and<br />

visited a couple of the mines<br />

over there. We saw one called<br />

Happy Valley. It was sad to see<br />

a really beautiful valley turned<br />

into a massive mine. It sort of<br />

unites my passion for protecting<br />

New Zealand’s unique ecology,<br />

and my climate activism,<br />

because coal damages both the<br />

ecosystem where it gets mined<br />

and the climate when it gets<br />

burnt.<br />

Could you tell me about your<br />

concerns with the proposed<br />

expansion of Bathurst’s<br />

Canterbury coal mine?<br />

Extinction Rebellion started<br />

because we recognised that there<br />

was a very real threat to humans’<br />

well-being on the planet and<br />

extinction is imminent for quite<br />

a few species including ours if<br />

we continue on the trajectory<br />

that we are on. Resisting the<br />

Canterbury coal mine first<br />

and foremost came because we<br />

are in the middle of a climate<br />

emergency and coal is the most<br />

potent contributor to climate<br />

change. The mine does damage<br />

to an ecosystem that’s already<br />

really degraded. Canterbury<br />

rivers are known globally as<br />

being incredibly polluted and the<br />

mine will further pollute that<br />

catchment that people are trying<br />

really hard to restore.<br />

mining to help protect the environment<br />

Where did your passion for<br />

the environment start?<br />

My parents instilled a real firm<br />

respect for non-human beings<br />

in me. I grew up in various<br />

countries such as Singapore<br />

and Abu Dhabi before I moved<br />

to New Zealand in 2001. I<br />

remember seeing instances of<br />

environmental destruction from<br />

a young age you know like a<br />

tree I loved being cut down or a<br />

forest at the end of the road and<br />

I remember being very deeply<br />

affected by those instances and<br />

felt very powerless. It grew from<br />

there with me doing a lot of<br />

volunteering and working in the<br />

climate movement. It has been<br />

about 10 years that I have been<br />

doing that. Since I was about 19.<br />

What would you say has kept<br />

you going all this time?<br />

Having really good friends<br />

who are also activists. It can be<br />

gruelling and tiring. I would<br />

definitely say the people.<br />

Have there been any scary<br />

moments during your climate<br />

activism?<br />

One would have been about<br />

a year ago in Dunedin when a<br />

whole bunch of different groups<br />

were trying to shut down the<br />

minerals forum, that’s the<br />

coal and minerals conference<br />

they were having where all<br />

the delegates get together and<br />

ACTIVISM: Siana Fitzjohn at the Extinction Rebellion week<br />

of action protests in Wellington.<br />

plan expansions of the various<br />

industry facilities. We had quite a<br />

nasty situation where a few of us,<br />

mainly women, were blocking a<br />

doorway and we had police bust<br />

out from the inside and bust in<br />

from the outside and we were<br />

caught in this real crushed crowd<br />

situation and the crowd kind of<br />

collapsed. Someone really badly<br />

injured their knee so that was<br />

quite scary.<br />

Have there been any exciting<br />

or particularly satisfying<br />

moments?<br />

There have been heaps, one of<br />

them is probably getting on the<br />

oil rig off the coast of the South<br />

Island to protest against fossil<br />

fuel extraction. We spent 10 years<br />

campaigning against deep-sea oil<br />

and finally we could go out and<br />

meet them at sea out on the rig.<br />

It was quite a big moment for me<br />

and a pretty exciting chase on the<br />

high seas.<br />

Have you had any brushes<br />

with the law because of your<br />

activism?<br />

I have had a few arrests and a<br />

couple of trespass charges. Most<br />

of the time I have found the<br />

judges we have come in front of<br />

have been quite understanding.<br />

One example is when we boarded<br />

the Skandi Atlantic last year in<br />

Timaru. We had about 27-odd<br />

people board a boat that was a<br />

support vessel for an oil rig. We<br />

were there for two days and most<br />

of us got arrested for that. We<br />

are actually waiting to see what<br />

the court proceedings will be for<br />

that.<br />

How long have you lived near<br />

Darfield?<br />

We have been here going on<br />

about 18 years. I lived here for a<br />

while and then lived in Dunedin<br />

and now I am back.<br />

What do you like about living<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />

I love the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River, it is<br />

a really special place to me. I<br />

really love that you can drive for<br />

45min and you are in the middle<br />

of the mountains and if you drive<br />

for 50min in the other direction<br />

you are at the ocean. There is<br />

such a varied landscape available<br />

and I keep discovering new bits<br />

that I have not spent much time<br />

in.<br />

Could you tell me a bit about<br />

your family?<br />

There is just the four of us<br />

here; my mother April, father<br />

Dave and my younger sister<br />

Jessie. My mum is a teacher,<br />

my dad is the chairman of the<br />

Lincoln Envirotown Trust and<br />

Jessie is in the middle of her<br />

PhD in mechanical engineering.<br />

We all went in quite different<br />

directions. We are pretty close<br />

just being the four of us and I’m<br />

really lucky to have a family who<br />

is so supportive of my climate<br />

activism because not everybody<br />

supports it.<br />

Do you have any pets?<br />

Yes, I am a real animal<br />

person. I have my pig Splodge,<br />

she is a kunekune and was my<br />

14th-birthday present so she is<br />

still going strong. She is about<br />

15-years-old. I have a sheep<br />

called Little Hope who I rescued<br />

during one of my walks. She was<br />

really skinny and starving, her<br />

mother had abandoned her so I<br />

took her home and now she lives<br />

out in the paddock. We have a<br />

dog called Mercy who is a brindle<br />

staffy cross, two cats, a rooster<br />

called King Henry VIII and three<br />

remaining hens.<br />

If you could take one item<br />

with you to a desert island what<br />

would it be?<br />

I was going to say something<br />

practical like a water condenser<br />

but that is no fun. I would take<br />

a set of juggling balls. I can<br />

juggle but I have only got just<br />

the basic pattern down. It would<br />

be good, they would keep you<br />

busy.<br />

Bid to make children<br />

care for the environment<br />

favourite fashion store<br />

FASHION QUARTERLY JUNE <strong>2020</strong><br />

•From page 1<br />

Mrs Burney said they<br />

have begun going into<br />

several pre-schools and<br />

primary schools.<br />

“Research has shown,<br />

particularly in caring for<br />

the environment, that the<br />

younger the children are<br />

the more likely they are to<br />

become more environmentally<br />

conscious as they get<br />

older.<br />

“So if you can instil this<br />

affinity for nature and taking<br />

care of the environment<br />

then it will stay with them,’’<br />

she said.<br />

The book Tock Saves the<br />

Earth follows the robot as<br />

he decides to travel back in<br />

to all the plants and<br />

animals.<br />

“Along the way, the<br />

Weedons Residents<br />

Association chairman<br />

Stephen Bain said he<br />

thinks there should be no<br />

rates increase in the next<br />

financial year.<br />

“Every resident and<br />

business of <strong>Selwyn</strong> will<br />

have suffered to some level<br />

financially due to Covid-19<br />

already. These same people<br />

and businesses are now<br />

proceeding into unprecedented<br />

and extremely<br />

volatile times, as is the<br />

district council itself.”<br />

Prebbleton resident<br />

James Russell said in his<br />

submission that he is very<br />

strongly in favour of the<br />

option to freeze rates.<br />

it can be fun.”<br />

The couple decided to<br />

release the book online<br />

recently and have been<br />

receiving positive feedback.<br />

“I know how children<br />

can get engaged very easily<br />

through puppets and characters<br />

and things like that.<br />

“It is better for them to<br />

in the current economic<br />

environment.<br />

“If this means deferring<br />

other activities, or<br />

finding cheaper ways of<br />

doing things, then please<br />

do that,’ he said.<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

THE REVIEW of the<br />

District Plan has been<br />

pushed out until later<br />

this year because of<br />

Covid-19.<br />

The plan was expected<br />

to be publicly notified in<br />

April but that will now not<br />

be happening.<br />

In a report the district<br />

council said: “We are still<br />

working through the implications<br />

of the Covid-19<br />

pandemic to determine<br />

how long this delay may<br />

be but we hope to be able<br />

to notify the Plan later this<br />

year.<br />

“We will update the<br />

public as soon as we have<br />

more information,’’ it<br />

said.<br />

A district council<br />

spokesman said it is unclear<br />

at this stage whether<br />

the delay will have an<br />

get behind the character<br />

and his journey and what<br />

he learns than being bombarded<br />

with information,”<br />

she said.<br />

Through reading the<br />

book, parents can also be<br />

engaged and learn from<br />

Tock, Mrs Burney said.<br />

•If you would like to<br />

book a session with<br />

Some submissions support rates rise<br />

FEEDBACK: A proposal to freeze rates, which<br />

help fund projects such as Rolleston’s new library<br />

and community centre (Te Ara Atea), has received<br />

support from the community. ​<br />

Not all of the submissions<br />

have been in favour<br />

of maintaining rates at the<br />

current level.<br />

In Malvern community<br />

board chairman John<br />

Morten’s submission he<br />

said the board supports the<br />

option to seek to reduce<br />

the planned 3.5 per cent<br />

increase.<br />

District Plan review delayed<br />

impact on the cost of the<br />

project.<br />

In December, <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> reported that the<br />

budget for this financial<br />

year is expected to<br />

be exceeded by about<br />

$400,000 in order to<br />

deliver the proposed<br />

District Plan for<br />

notification in May.<br />

The budget for the<br />

project for the 2019/20<br />

financial year is $805,000.<br />

Kirkwood Intermediate<br />

School of Choice<br />

Celebrating Kirkwood House<br />

Captains for <strong>2020</strong><br />

Year 7 Camp<br />

Our Year 7 pupils have<br />

recently attended a camp at<br />

Purau Bay. This is a great<br />

way for the children to get to<br />

know each other.<br />

House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary<br />

Jamison - Ex Hoon Hay Primary<br />

I like Kirkwood Intermediate because I like meeting people from different<br />

cultures and I enjoy the opportunities Kirkwood offers like electronics in<br />

Technology.<br />

Aimee - Ex Clearview Primary<br />

Kirkwood provides many different sports opportunities and I like the school<br />

because I get to meet new people. This year I would like to become involved in<br />

the many sports opportunities and leadership rolls which Kirkwood offers. This<br />

would be a great achievement.<br />

House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg<br />

Ragavi - Ex Lincoln Primary I like Kirkwood because of the traditional style<br />

of learning with kind and friendly staff, teachers and students. You get many<br />

opportunities to try new things (such as: sports; science fair; music; and<br />

technology). A school that recognises not only the curricular activities that<br />

students have achieved but also extra achievements of students outside the<br />

school (Blues awards). I wanted to be a House Captain so I could apply my<br />

skill of leadership and also gain strengths as a Year 8 pupil. At the same time<br />

I wanted to gain new challenges and get the opportunity to engage in a new<br />

working environment. This year I would like to keep my focus on contributing to<br />

extra-curricular and curricular activities.<br />

William - Ex Halswell School At Kirkwood I like how there are many opportunities<br />

for pupils to get involved in as well as the various activities offered which we have<br />

never tried before. I would like to fundraise for a charity like the Cancer Society. I<br />

wanted to gain experience in a leadership role representing a group, and to be able to<br />

bring ideas around and help people when they need support.<br />

My<br />

favourite part of<br />

camp was playing games<br />

with everyone and just hanging<br />

out with my friends. I enjoyed<br />

going to the beach and swimming.<br />

Some of the other camp activities<br />

which I enjoyed were: abseiling;<br />

pitching tents; Canadian canoeing;<br />

playing sports; bush walking;<br />

periwinkle hunting and<br />

beach time.<br />

My<br />

favourite part<br />

of camp was abseiling<br />

because all the adrenaline<br />

went rushing through my veins.<br />

I have never been abseiling<br />

before and it was really<br />

challenging for me. I also liked<br />

feeding the eels which<br />

slithered around my<br />

legs.<br />

I enjoyed playing<br />

in the reserve in the<br />

evenings. The games we<br />

played were “Predator” and “Kick<br />

the Container”.<br />

We had the most amazing parent<br />

helpers which we really enjoyed.<br />

We also learnt to cooperate with<br />

each other and it gave us an<br />

opportunity to get to know<br />

our class mates better.<br />

House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa<br />

Anton - Ex Lincoln Primary School I like the opportunities Kirkwood has to<br />

offer including the academic and sporting options you can take part in. I would<br />

like to lead Britten/Te Kanawa house to success. I would also encourage all<br />

students to make the most of their time here at Kirkwood.<br />

Rosa - Ex Halswell Primary I enjoy Kirkwood due to the happy and friendly<br />

environment that I get to be in. This year I would like to gain more Blues<br />

awards, create a clean and tidy environment and have a fun Year 8. I really<br />

wanted this leadership opportunity because I love supporting and helping<br />

people who need it.<br />

House Captains for Rutherford/Batten<br />

Rylee - Ex Spreydon School Kirkwood gives me so many opportunities like<br />

sports, singing and experience in leadership. I like the teachers and the time in<br />

Technology. This year I would like to get into a softball and netball team. I have<br />

always wanted to be a House Captain and will make a good role model.<br />

Zavier - Ex Wigram Primary School I like Kirkwood because there are so<br />

many different opportunities here and we are lucky enough to go to Technology<br />

so that we can learn things to help us in the future. By the end of the year I<br />

want my house to be the best house of all the houses and win everything. I<br />

wanted to be a House Captain because I am very competitive and will do my<br />

best to help my House thrive to be the best at the end of the year.<br />

Open Day/Night<br />

Instead of our traditional Open Day/Night this year we are hosting<br />

small groups by appointment. Please contact the school by phone<br />

on 3487718 or email school.information@kirkwood.school.nz<br />

to arrange a time. We look forward to seeing you!<br />

Useful tips to<br />

prevent rural crime<br />

Area response<br />

manager Senior<br />

Sergeant Dean<br />

Harker writes<br />

about police<br />

activity in the<br />

district<br />

THIS MONTH I am<br />

focusing on rural crime<br />

prevention because police<br />

are starting to get an<br />

increase in calls for service<br />

around rural burglaries.<br />

Over the last couple<br />

of weeks we have had<br />

a number of farmers’<br />

sheds and outbuildings<br />

being targeted by thieves,<br />

offenders have been<br />

stealing chainsaw, tools<br />

and petrol and diesel. Fuel<br />

is being siphoned out of<br />

tractors and other farm<br />

machinery.<br />

This is a good time for<br />

farmers to check their<br />

security, there are some<br />

really good security<br />

cameras and alarms on<br />

the market at present<br />

designed for rural settings.<br />

Remember to keep note of<br />

serial numbers of electrical<br />

items and quad bikes etc.<br />

Crime prevention<br />

in rural areas is most<br />

effective when it involves<br />

a partnership between<br />

rural people, police, local<br />

authorities and local<br />

organisations.<br />

In <strong>Selwyn</strong>, we are very<br />

lucky to have a very strong<br />

community patrol set up,<br />

they are always on the<br />

lookout for more people to<br />

become involved in their<br />

patrol groups.<br />

We have a group in both<br />

the Malvern and Lincoln<br />

areas, contact your local<br />

police if you’re keen to<br />

become involved.<br />

Some points to<br />

remember are:<br />

Police can and will<br />

respond to rural crime.<br />

Keep in mind police<br />

may need to travel long<br />

distances to get to you.<br />

Phone 111 when you<br />

need immediate help with<br />

a life-threatening or timecritical<br />

emergency.<br />

Some emergencies<br />

will need more than one<br />

service (fire, ambulance<br />

and police).<br />

Ask for the service which<br />

is needed most urgently.<br />

All emergency services<br />

have links to each other<br />

and the first service<br />

called will notify the<br />

other services if they are<br />

required.<br />

For non-urgent<br />

situations, phone 105 or<br />

Dean Harker<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Police<br />

visit your local police<br />

station.<br />

If there’s no immediate<br />

danger or the incident<br />

happened a while ago<br />

then it’s probably not<br />

an emergency. If you<br />

can’t decide if it’s a real<br />

emergency and you’re still<br />

worried, phone 111 and ask<br />

us. We’ll help you work out<br />

what to do.<br />

Clearly tag animals and<br />

keep accurate stock and<br />

produce records. Lock all<br />

rural buildings, houses and<br />

sheds etc.<br />

You should have a<br />

detailed inventory of all<br />

personal valuables and<br />

household and business<br />

equipment, including<br />

model and serial numbers,<br />

inscription, and other<br />

identifying features.<br />

Report all instances of<br />

crime – even when a police<br />

response is not necessary.<br />

Police need to know<br />

the pattern of crime in<br />

an area. You can help<br />

police by reporting all<br />

instances of suspicious<br />

behaviour or crime. It<br />

helps police to know who<br />

is in the community or<br />

if there is a pattern of<br />

crime developing in an<br />

area that needs further<br />

investigation. It also helps<br />

us to decide if the rest of<br />

the community should be<br />

alerted too.<br />

Be organised. Discuss<br />

and prepare.<br />

Rural <strong>Selwyn</strong> has a<br />

reputation for tight-knit<br />

supportive communities.<br />

You can help to keep<br />

safe by knowing your<br />

neighbours, exchanging<br />

phone numbers and<br />

keeping those numbers<br />

handy.<br />

Discuss what you could<br />

do to alert or assist each<br />

other in an emergency.<br />

It’s also a good idea to let<br />

neighbours know if you’re<br />

going on holiday or leaving<br />

your home overnight.<br />

Reduce the risk of<br />

becoming a victim<br />

of crime by taking<br />

precautions.<br />

If you live on a farm<br />

and are leaving the house<br />

to investigate something<br />

untoward, ensure someone<br />

knows where you’re going,<br />

as much as possible about<br />

what you’re checking, and<br />

how long you expect it to<br />

take.<br />

This could involve<br />

phoning the police or your<br />

neighbour, waiting for a<br />

neighbour to join you, and<br />

taking a mobile phone or<br />

handheld radio with you.<br />

Reduce risk by taking<br />

notice of who is out and<br />

about and talking to them<br />

(particularly if they aren’t<br />

locals), locking your house,<br />

removing keys, closing<br />

access gates (particularly to<br />

your driveway/house). And<br />

keeping an eye on each<br />

other’s property.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />

entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />

Each week he introduces a new species found<br />

in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims<br />

to raise public awareness of biodiversity,<br />

the variety of living things around us. Check out the full list<br />

Native cockroaches<br />

not a household pest<br />

COCKROACHES are one insect<br />

group that most people detest.<br />

Their flattened, oval shape, spiny<br />

legs and scuttling nature is quite<br />

distinctive.<br />

The main exotic species which<br />

are pests in New Zealand houses<br />

are the American cockroach<br />

Periplaneta americana, the<br />

German cockroach Blatella<br />

germanica, and the Australiannative<br />

Gisborne cockroach<br />

Drymaplaneta semivitta.<br />

Many of the native cockroach<br />

species in New Zealand do not<br />

pose any health risks.<br />

At least 20 species of native<br />

cockroaches are known in New<br />

Zealand, most of which are in<br />

the genus Celatoblatta.<br />

These natives are not<br />

household pests, but rather are<br />

found in damp, dark habitats<br />

under wood or leaf litter.<br />

They are<br />

omnivorous,<br />

feeding on organic<br />

material which<br />

can include dead<br />

wood, which is<br />

digested with the<br />

help of symbiotic<br />

gut flora.<br />

Female<br />

cockroaches carry<br />

eggs in a cluster<br />

called ootheca<br />

at the rear and<br />

deposit them<br />

under cover to<br />

develop.<br />

Ransley was able to maintain<br />

his spot in the standings in round<br />

everything turned out.”<br />

Harley Haber to take the crown.<br />

Haber has a 30-point advantage<br />

Affiliation fees<br />

to be waived<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

ALL AFFILIATION fees for<br />

rugby clubs and schools in<br />

Canterbury, including Ellesmere<br />

will be waived for the <strong>2020</strong><br />

season.<br />

The move, which was approved<br />

by the Canterbury<br />

Rugby Football Union Board<br />

and endorsed by the sub-unions<br />

will help clubs support their<br />

members by minimising barriers<br />

when participants return to play.<br />

The announcement has been<br />

welcomed by the Ellesmere<br />

Rugby Sub-Union.<br />

“Through discussions with<br />

clubs in Ellesmere, we are aware<br />

some face an uncertain future,”<br />

Ellesmere rugby manager, Michael<br />

Sheat said.<br />

“Access to grants and other<br />

funding has become restricted<br />

and a number of clubs face<br />

player uncertainty due to personal<br />

circumstance.<br />

“Rugby is an important part<br />

of rural communities. We want<br />

rugby to be accessible and<br />

endorse the decision the CRFU<br />

Board has made,”<br />

CRFU chief executive Tony<br />

Smail said he was eager for the<br />

season to begin later this month.<br />

We look forward to seeing<br />

playing fields 60 across the<br />

%<br />

Canterbury region full of action,<br />

noise and camaraderie as the<br />

season gets under way in late<br />

<strong>June</strong>.”<br />

enough for <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Dan Ede<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

SELWYN UNITED’S veteran<br />

attacker Dan Ede has found a<br />

silver lining to an unexpected<br />

three-month break.<br />

The 30-year-old said the time<br />

off due to Covid-19 allowed him<br />

to heal some niggling injuries,<br />

so he was ready to get back to<br />

football.<br />

“The aging body certainly<br />

enjoyed the break.<br />

“I picked up a little knee injury<br />

late last year while playing for<br />

Canterbury so it’s been nice to<br />

rest that.<br />

“Knees and ankles need a rest<br />

at times and sometimes that’s not<br />

possible.<br />

“I’m not always the most<br />

enthusiastic trainer so doing it by<br />

myself during the lockdown was<br />

tough.<br />

“There might be some rust<br />

there but I think we are all keen<br />

to get on with it.”<br />

Round three of the Mainland<br />

Premier League is scheduled for<br />

Saturday and while the full draw<br />

is not yet known, Ede said he<br />

had heard all 21 rounds would be<br />

played.<br />

“From what I’m hearing a<br />

full season is likely going into<br />

late September so that’s a good<br />

thing, plus there’s talk about the<br />

English Cup knockout competition<br />

too.<br />

“If we have to play a few night<br />

games midweek then that’s fine<br />

because I’m pretty sure we have a<br />

good record in those.”<br />

Ede, who is in his seventh<br />

season with the Stallions, said he<br />

is just as motivated as ever.<br />

“My speed has always been a<br />

big attribute for me and at 30 it<br />

still works for me. But that won’t<br />

be the case forever.”<br />

Ede said he wanted to make<br />

sure <strong>Selwyn</strong> continued to earn<br />

respect at the MPL level.<br />

“I think teams are starting to<br />

SPORT<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

VALUABLE: Dan Ede will be<br />

an important attacking option<br />

for <strong>Selwyn</strong> United when the<br />

Mainland Premier League<br />

resumes on Saturday. ​<br />

respect us and what we are trying<br />

to achieve.<br />

“I know it’s known around the<br />

league that we are prone to leaking<br />

a goal or two but that’s not<br />

my area of expertise,” he said.<br />

“I’ll keep trying to bang the<br />

goals in, and we’ll look to improve<br />

our defence as a team.”<br />

KidsFest back to bring<br />

holiday cheer<br />

KidsFest is back again to bring some fun for the holidays after a tough start to the year.<br />

The Council will be running a busy programme for the popular annual KidsFest event, from<br />

Saturday 4 to Sunday 19 July.<br />

KidsFest has been running for 25 years and it was a good feeling to be able to return again and<br />

continue to offer a high quality range of events, Council Senior Events and Recreation Advisor<br />

Dave Tippett says.<br />

“We’re delighted that we’re able to put on a host of great events with old favourites and some<br />

cool new additions to the fortnight. There will be some changes because of the impacts of the<br />

pandemic, with ongoing restrictions, and health and safety requirements. But it’s great to be<br />

able to offer children some fun, with a return to familiar events, and to take some of the load off<br />

parents after the incredible job they have been doing this year.”<br />

This year’s festival will feature over 30 events including the return of favourites such as high ropes,<br />

hip hop and Sport Suzie’s Super Silly Circus Show, and exciting new options such as light pad art,<br />

lanterns and dinosaur parties.<br />

The Children’s Market may not be able to go ahead because of pandemic restrictions, but<br />

MovieMania and Discomania are able to return, Mr Tippet says.<br />

Children and families will also have the opportunity to get a whole new view of the district through<br />

the Eye Spy <strong>Selwyn</strong> activity hunt. The hunt will once again take children to explore the district, but<br />

this year children will have the chance to win a family hot air balloon ride for four with Ballooning<br />

Canterbury, if they answer a question and collect a stamp at each Council facility. Completed<br />

cards of stamps that are returned to the customer centre at the Council‘s Rolleston offices will go<br />

into the draw.<br />

Tickets and a full timetable of events will be available from Friday 5 <strong>June</strong> at selwyn.govt.nz/kidsfest.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> families can also attend events in Christchurch and Waimakariri.<br />

Draft Annual Plan hearings this week<br />

Public hearings on the Council’s Draft Annual Plan for <strong>2020</strong>/21 are being held this week.<br />

Two days of hearings are scheduled at the Council Chambers in Rolleston on Tuesday 2 and<br />

Wednesday 3 <strong>June</strong>.<br />

A total of 233 formal submissions were received on the Draft Annual Plan. Of these, 60 submitters have<br />

asked to be heard in person.<br />

The hearings start at 9.30am each day, and are open to the public. A livestream of the hearings can be<br />

viewed atselwyn.govt.nz/livestream.<br />

The Council also received 110 responses to an online survey conducted through the Council’s online<br />

engagement site.<br />

The Council sought public feedback on six major issues, including options for reducing the level of rates<br />

increase, changes to water supply charges, planning for a wastewater scheme at Darfield, changes<br />

to the timing of two community centre projects, and amendments to the Council’s Development<br />

Contributions Policy. Submitters have also provided comments and feedback on a wide range of other<br />

Council projects and activities.<br />

ON THE<br />

ROADS<br />

On the roads<br />

Tennyson Street is closed from 43 Tennyson Street to Markham Way due to the<br />

Rolleston Town Centre infrastructure upgrade. Due to the Lowes Road and Tennyson<br />

Street intersection upgrade, Lowes Road is one way on both sides of the intersection,<br />

with lanes open for traffic heading away from the intersection, but not towards it. A<br />

stop/go system and speed restrictions are also in place on Tennyson Street.<br />

NZTA has advised that the Christchurch Southern Motorway on ramps, and one<br />

lane of traffic heading towards the city, are now open at Halswell Junction Road and Shands Road.<br />

Access to the motorway citybound via John Paterson Drive roundabout is now closed permanently.<br />

Please follow all on-site directions and traffic management.<br />

Tennyson Street partial reopening<br />

Tennyson Street has reopened from Rolleston Drive to Markham<br />

Way as the Rolleston Town Centre infrastructure work moves to a<br />

new phase.<br />

The road was closed for the length of Rolleston Reserve to allow<br />

the infrastructure project to finish more quickly. Despite the halt to<br />

work under Alert Level 4 lockdown, and changes to how work can<br />

happen on site with social distancing restrictions, major upgrades<br />

have been completed between Markham Way and Rolleston Drive.<br />

New wider pedestrian walkways and trees have been completed<br />

along with underground infrastructure for the town centre.<br />

The remainder of Tennyson Street from Markham Way to 48<br />

Tennyson Street will stay closed until the work is finished at the end<br />

of July depending on the weather.<br />

The reopened section of Tennyson Street will allow car access to<br />

the Markham Junction shops, increasing opportunities to visit these<br />

great <strong>Selwyn</strong> businesses, local to you.<br />

In line with NZTA-recommended safe speed zones for urban<br />

centres a 30 km/h speed limit is in place for the reopened section of<br />

Tennyson Street.<br />

The Markham Way extension to Norman Kirk Drive will remain in<br />

place until the work is completed.<br />

The detour using Byron Street, Brookside Road and Rolleston<br />

Drive will remain in place for the closed section of Tennyson Street<br />

and the 820 bus stops will remain at their temporary location on<br />

Rolleston Drive.<br />

Teena Dela Cruz and her family of three have spent more than a<br />

quarter of a century becoming New Zealand citizens.<br />

Originally from the Philippines, Teena met husband Orlando over 30<br />

years ago while nannying in Singapore. A few years later in Hong<br />

Kong she met the McMaths from Christchurch, who hired Teena to<br />

look after their four young children.<br />

The families clicked and the McMaths offered to bring Teena to New<br />

Zealand, in the hope she’d continue to be their nanny.<br />

In the end it took five attempts over 14 years from Teena then<br />

Orlando, before Orlando gained a work visa and moved to Leeston<br />

to work on the McMaths dairy farm in 2009. Two years later Teena<br />

and their son Adiell-Jonan (A.J.) were able to join him.<br />

“It’s still difficult to come into New Zealand; immigration is tough.<br />

And the requirements as well. If you do not pass the medical tests<br />

or qualification standards, you can’t even come here,” Teena says.<br />

The start to their dream move was rocky. Eight months after arriving,<br />

Orlando’s mother died and he was unable to fly home to farewell<br />

her. Teena struggled getting used to the idea her surroundings<br />

would no longer be hot or humid, but quiet with the absence of<br />

people and family members she had left behind.<br />

“In the Philippines, your neighbour is on the other side of the wall.<br />

Here, your neighbour is an hour’s walk away at least.”<br />

That led her to start a support<br />

group for Filipino immigrants<br />

around Leeston. The group,<br />

now called Leeston Lifetouch<br />

Fellowship, grew from seven<br />

members in 2011, to 60 today.<br />

They meet every three weeks at St<br />

David’s Church in Leeston where<br />

discussions can last for hours.<br />

“Somebody would be having<br />

problems, and then we laugh, we<br />

cry, we listen, we eat.”<br />

After eight years Teena and her<br />

family finally became permanent<br />

residents last year, in the place<br />

they have made their home.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Open – A passion for raw milk<br />

As part of our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to<br />

you. You can find these businesses on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory<br />

This week we talk to Mark Williams from Aylesbury Creamery.<br />

After a week working on a dairy farm Mark Williams swore he would never be a dairy farmer. The work<br />

experience came as he was studying at the Telford Farm Training Institute.<br />

To his surprise he ended up running his own dairy farm in Aylesbury, along with wife Kelsey and their<br />

children, Reeve and Addison.<br />

Eight years later, Mark has found a real passion for the family business, Aylesbury Creamery, delivering<br />

A2 farm fresh raw milk to customer’s doorsteps and selling it from a vending machine on their farm, a<br />

10 minute drive from Rolleston.<br />

It’s a busy life being a dairy farmer, working a minimum of 12 hours every day of the year including<br />

Christmas, Mark says, but the hard work pays off when he sees customers benefitting from Aylesbury<br />

Creamery’s products.<br />

Fifty of the farm’s 350 cows are milked for their A2 protein to produce farm fresh raw milk, which is full<br />

of good bacteria usually killed off during pasteurisation.<br />

Many of Mark’s customers report seeing health benefits from the milk, he says.<br />

“When you’re helping people with their health, it makes you feel good about what you do.”<br />

The Williams’ business is focused on being as sustainable as possible, limiting the amount of spray<br />

used and selling their raw milk in reusable glass bottles instead of plastic, saving over 240,000 one-litre<br />

plastic bottles.<br />

During lockdown, Mark and the team did many contactless deliveries throughout <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

Christchurch. He also delivered eggs for a local farmer who lost work due to the closure of restaurants<br />

and cafés, saving customers a trip to the supermarket for milk and eggs.<br />

The family enjoys working in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, because it is not too far from Christchurch and there are some<br />

amazing sunsets out in Aylesbury, he says.<br />

He is grateful for the support Aylesbury Creamery gets from locals in the district and believes<br />

supporting local is what keeps a community ticking.<br />

Stay safe on the roads this winter<br />

Winter is back, with a new set of challenges for driving, so we’re encouraging drivers to be alert, slow<br />

down and stay safe.<br />

As the weather changes through winter, driving challenges can change quickly with fog, ice, snow,<br />

rain, shorter daylight hours and sunstrike. The district also has many shaded areas where large trees or<br />

hedges prevent roads from thawing during cooler winter days.<br />

Staying alert and taking extra care is essential, but winter driving does not have to be dangerous or<br />

intimidating. Preparing your vehicle and adjusting your driving for the conditions goes a long way<br />

towards ensuring your safety and that of others.<br />

To help you start off safe we’ve created a simple four step checklist for when you start and one for<br />

when you’re driving.<br />

Before you start your car make sure your wiper blades, headlights and tyres are working in good<br />

condition and your windscreen is clear inside and out.<br />

And when you’re driving – make sure you can see clearly through your windows in all directions, watch<br />

out for shaded areas on the road, keep your distance from the car in front and if the weather is bad put<br />

your lights on.<br />

More tips to stay safe<br />

Plan ahead – check the weather forecast and avoid travel if you can when conditions are poor. Slow<br />

down, increase following distances and be careful around corners and in shady places.<br />

Driving in the wet<br />

Stopping distances nearly double on wet roads. Slow down and keep a generous following distance<br />

between you and the car in front, take corners slowly and heed road signs warning of flooding.<br />

Driving in the snow and ice<br />

Whenever possible, avoid driving in heavy snow. If you cannot avoid it, slow down, avoid braking<br />

suddenly and carry chains.<br />

Driving in fog<br />

Turn on your headlights and keep them on low (dip) beam. Only use fog lamps when visibility is<br />

severely reduced. Slow down and keep a generous following distance.<br />

Driving with sun strike<br />

Keeping your windscreen clean, inside and out can make the difference between seeing someone<br />

and not.<br />

Notices<br />

FLUSH YOUR TAPS<br />

Some plumbing fittings have the potential to allow minute traces<br />

of metals to accumulate in water standing in the fittings for several<br />

hours. Although the health risk is small the Ministry of Health<br />

recommends that you flush a mugful of water from your drinkingwater<br />

tap each morning before use to remove any metals that may<br />

have dissolved from the plumbing fittings. We are recommending<br />

this simple precaution for all households, including those on public<br />

and private water supplies. This notice is issued by <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Council on behalf of the Director-General of Health, Ministry of Health.<br />

Autumn sunshine captured in a glass<br />

• By Mark Henderson<br />

I WAS TALKING to a friend<br />

recently, who said that the trees<br />

had dropped their leaves and,<br />

with their bare branches reaching<br />

for the sky, that there was a<br />

feeling of the plant world having<br />

shut up shop for winter.<br />

Personally, I’m a fan of Indian<br />

summers, with milder weather<br />

continuing into May, eking the<br />

last vestiges of warmth out of<br />

ever-shortening days before the<br />

inevitable onset of winter.<br />

Perhaps a rose, exuding summer<br />

sun in a glass, might fit the<br />

bill?<br />

creamy yet quite delicate palate<br />

‘The Anatomy of<br />

Melancholy<br />

Part III: Lost & Found’<br />

Simon van der Sluijs is an artist of Dutch descent and traditional painting<br />

and drawing training. His themes are deeply personal, unconventional, dark,<br />

humorous and disturbing. Three years ago Simon van der Sluijs began his trilogy<br />

exhibition series ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’.<br />

Part I – Identity 2018, Part II – Dissectum 2019 and finally Part III – Lost & Found<br />

<strong>June</strong> <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

Large charcoal drawings challenge with their strong emotional content yet have<br />

a stillness which stops the viewer in their tracks. ‘Journal of Loss’ - 40 small<br />

monochromatic watercolours is a project in itself and acts as a diary of Simon’s<br />

thought process.<br />

Drawings and watercolours show the emotional side of ‘losing and finding’; the<br />

loss of innocence or youth, the loss of those we love and the process of coping.<br />

Mixed media dogs varying in size from the very large to the very small. We are<br />

not sure if they are lost or found. Each dog has its own narrative, but together<br />

they remind us of unconditional love, and that they too can understand loss.<br />

Simon is a multi-disciplinary artist. His work is often metaphorical and he<br />

continues to look inward and reach into his past to find an existential language<br />

we can all find ourselves in.<br />

Evocative Evoque – true Range Rover<br />

I’M VERY impressed with the<br />

forward progress of Land-Rover<br />

and Range Rover.<br />

When Indian company Tata<br />

Motors acquired the brands in<br />

2008 I was concerned that research<br />

and development and the<br />

ongoing release of new models<br />

may have been compromised.<br />

That’s far from the case, it’s<br />

business as usual in the United<br />

Kingdom factories, the product is<br />

high on quality and as you would<br />

expect from the brands, luxurious,<br />

yet rugged where need be.<br />

One of the badges in the Range<br />

Rover stable is Evoque, it has<br />

been with us since 2011 and is a<br />

bit of a departure for both nameplates,<br />

the Evoque has a radical<br />

shape and is the pick of the<br />

bunch in terms of looks in today’s<br />

extensive line-up of sport utility<br />

vehicles.<br />

In my opinion, the Evoque has<br />

the X-factor with its sharp shape<br />

and style. It’s also a darn nice<br />

thing to drive, and although it<br />

looks pretty and fashionable, the<br />

elements which make it a Range<br />

Rover haven’t been compromised.<br />

It has comprehensive off-road<br />

ability, and shares many of the<br />

Terrain Response drive components<br />

that are spread across Land-<br />

Rover and Range Rover.<br />

A new Evoque has just landed<br />

here in three specification levels<br />

with a choice of either diesel or<br />

petrol power. The test car was one<br />

of three petrol-powered variations<br />

– the top-of-the-line P300<br />

HSE. The range starts at $92,900<br />

and ends at $117,900, with a host<br />

of options available through the<br />

range.<br />

Part of the Evoque’s makeup is<br />

its design, the interior included.<br />

It is ultra-modern yet functional,<br />

that’s something Range-Rover<br />

has done well in recent years, the<br />

Evoque is a standout, especially<br />

the tiered touch-screen display<br />

panels, which control most of the<br />

major functions, they are intuitive<br />

and easy to read.<br />

Specification items are too<br />

numerous to mention, but I can<br />

report the Evoque HSE wants for<br />

little and, not surprisingly, it gets<br />

full safety kit to provide comfortable<br />

and safe travel.<br />

Under the bonnet sits a<br />

1997cc, turbocharged fourcylinder<br />

petrol engine, it is<br />

a powerful unit with 221kW<br />

and 400Nm of torque. What<br />

makes the P300 stand out is<br />

what is described as a mild<br />

hybrid system and, according to<br />

Range Rover, it harvests energy<br />

during deceleration and stores<br />

RANGE ROVER EVOQUE: Entry-level model into the brand.<br />

it in an under-floor battery.<br />

That energy is then redeployed<br />

during acceleration, enhancing<br />

performance and fuel economy.<br />

Range Rover claims an 8.1-litre<br />

per 100km (35mpg) combined<br />

cycle average for the P300. During<br />

my testing time I picked up figures<br />

close to that at 9l/100km (31mpg),<br />

with a 6.5l/100km (44mpg) instantaneous<br />

figure available cruising<br />

the 100km/h legal limit (engine<br />

speed 1500rpm).<br />

The Evoque in this form will<br />

also cut out a quick standstill to<br />

100km/h time of 6.6sec, and will<br />

complete an overtaking manoeuvre<br />

(80-120km/h) in 4.2sec.<br />

In terms of how those figures<br />

relate to everyday driving means<br />

there is a constant supply of<br />

power on tap, the engine feels<br />

feisty and works with strong midrange<br />

boost.<br />

A lot of that has to do with the<br />

marriage between the engine and<br />

a nine-speed automatic gearbox.<br />

The driveline is silky smooth,<br />

decisive and always ready to<br />

respond.<br />

In terms of handling, the<br />

Evoque feels lithe and nimble. It<br />

isn’t overly tall at 1.65m so there<br />

isn’t a lot of gravitational movement,<br />

and what there is doesn’t<br />

react over the suspension.<br />

There are a multitude of wheel<br />

options available in the range,<br />

the test car was riding on sizeable<br />

235/50 x 20in Pirelli tyres and<br />

grip feels in abundance. However,<br />

I was a little surprised to find<br />

with that amount of rubber on<br />

the ground it didn’t translate to<br />

• Price – Range Rover<br />

Evoque HSE, $117,900<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4371mm; width, 1996mm;<br />

height, 1649mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

1997cc, 221kW, 400Nm,<br />

nine-speed automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 6.6sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 8.1l/100km<br />

steering feel, it is heavily boosted,<br />

leaving it a little numb off-centre.<br />

However, the Evoque carries<br />

the reputation of its stablemates,<br />

it must be seen as a dynamic,<br />

yet quiet, on-road performance<br />

machine. It also has capability in<br />

the loose that could be deemed<br />

extraordinary.<br />

Range Rover claims a ground<br />

clearance figure of 212mm along<br />

with a wading depth of 600mm.<br />

The approach and departure angles<br />

are also generous. That being<br />

the case, the Evoque is a car for<br />

all situations, least of all the urban<br />

jungle where it also stands out for<br />

its driveability.<br />

In a crowded SUV market the<br />

Evoque has always stood out with<br />

its style and features; nothing has<br />

changed, and it’s a perfect way to<br />

get into one of the world’s greatest<br />

luxury car brands.<br />

I don’t know that I’d go for topof-the-range<br />

(pardon the pun), but<br />

with an affordable starting point<br />

there is a model for all tastes and<br />

budgets.

Gardening<br />

Are you landscaping?<br />

Start with a focal point<br />

ONE OF the most difficult<br />

challenges of creating a new<br />

garden is the age old question –<br />

where do I start?<br />

And one good answer is –<br />

with a focal point.<br />

Whether you’re creating a<br />

design on a 500 sq m plot or trying<br />

to fill a hectare or two, the<br />

solution is the same, the only<br />

difference being that a large<br />

garden can support several focal<br />

points in different areas.<br />

Inspiration for the entire garden<br />

can often be provided by<br />

the focal point. Starting by hunting<br />

for a statue, an urn, a sculpture<br />

or a fountain from which<br />

the rest of the garden design<br />

will spring.<br />

In a small, formal,<br />

Mediterranean-style garden, for<br />

example, the centrepiece should<br />

dictate the shapes that surround<br />

it, giving a structured, geometric<br />

look with hedges and paths.<br />

A limited palette of plants<br />

will further enhance the design<br />

and allow the focal point of the<br />

garden to be exactly that. In<br />

a larger garden there can be a<br />

number of focal points. A collection<br />

of sculptures or urns can be<br />

positioned throughout the space<br />

so that each is the climax of a<br />

journey of discovery through<br />

the landscape.<br />

Although it sounds ambitious,<br />

the pieces need not be expensive<br />

– simple glazed pots or even<br />

garden seats can be used.<br />

Give some thought to creating<br />

a ‘stage set’ for each piece.<br />

Plonking a pot or a deck chair at<br />

the edge of the lawn isn’t going<br />

to do the trick.<br />

Start by forming a base for<br />

your piece – perhaps an area<br />

of pebbles or shells contained<br />

by rocks or sleepers, or a small<br />

paved platform. You can add a<br />

SHELTER:<br />

Form<br />

a base<br />

for your<br />

pergola<br />

using<br />

pebbles<br />

or shells.<br />

sense of enclosure by constructing<br />

a pergola overhead, or a<br />

simple, three sided fence or low<br />

hedge.<br />

A path leading to your<br />

sanctuary will give a sense of<br />

direction and discovery within<br />

the garden, and it can be as<br />

simple as a few pavers set into<br />

the lawn.<br />

And if, at this rather dull time<br />

of year, you’re yearning for<br />

something bright and vibrant in<br />

the garden, choose a centrepiece<br />

that vibrates with colour. It’ll<br />

make you smile every time you<br />

come across it.<br />

Pruning tips for winter<br />

GOOD GARDEN hygiene is very<br />

important.<br />

Before you start pruning, sterilise<br />

your gear. Remember to use<br />

a prune dressing on larger cuts.<br />

Bush and shrub roses<br />

– Take out any dead or weak<br />

wood, try to keep four to six of<br />

the newer canes. Cut them back<br />

short for show blooms, longer for<br />

garden display.<br />

Remove the older canes back to<br />

the crown. Roses are very forgiving<br />

plants, if you make a mistake<br />

they soon bounce back.<br />

Climbers – Take out the old<br />

and spent canes, tie down up to<br />

six aside of the one year old canes<br />

or the best of the older canes. Cut<br />

out the rest.<br />

Ramblers – Most ramblers<br />

can be pruned straight after summer<br />

flowering. Take out all the<br />

old flowering canes and leave all<br />

the young shoots coming from<br />

lower down.<br />

After pruning, clean up all the<br />

dead leaves and prunings and<br />

burn them, or put them out with<br />

your rubbish.<br />

Do not put them in your compost<br />

as the leaves may be carrying<br />

fungus spores which could<br />

spread back to your garden when<br />

you use the compost.<br />

Spray your roses and the<br />

ground around them with a<br />

good copper spray, then spray<br />

three or four days later with<br />

winter oil.<br />

Hill country farm<br />

emissions drop<br />

New Zealand hill country sheep and<br />

beef livestock are producing about half<br />

the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) per<br />

unit of nitrogen from urine or dung than<br />

previously thought.<br />

Nitrous oxide is New Zealand’s second<br />

most important agricultural greenhouse<br />

gas, representing 22% of agricultural<br />

emissions, or 11% of total GHG<br />

emissions.<br />

The new findings come from an<br />

AgResearch study commissioned by the<br />

Ministry for Primary Industries, which<br />

involved a meta-analysis of over 1,200<br />

emission factors and data measured<br />

from 139 field experiments over the last<br />

decade. Emission factors represent the<br />

proportion of nitrogen that is released<br />

into the atmosphere from nitrogen<br />

sources such as urine, dung and fertiliser<br />

inputs.<br />

Results from the meta-analysis showed<br />

that emission factors for sheep are about<br />

half that for beef livestock. It was also<br />

found that urine emission factors are<br />

higher for gentle slopes than for steeper<br />

slopes. While the new emission factors<br />

for hill country farms does not mean<br />

dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and deer are<br />

emitting less N2O, it does provide a more<br />

accurate calculation of their emissions.<br />

The new factors will be included in the<br />

Ministry for the Environment’s National<br />

Greenhouse Gas Inventory this year.<br />

The inventory is the official estimate<br />

of New Zealand’s human-induced<br />

greenhouse gas emissions and covers<br />

emissions under five sectors: energy;<br />

industrial processes and product use,<br />

agriculture, land use and land use change<br />

and forestry, and waste.<br />

AgResearch scientist Tony van der<br />

Weerden said emissions from livestock<br />

excreta (dung and urine) deposited onto<br />

pasture are the single largest contributor<br />

to N2O emissions in New Zealand. In<br />

2017, N2O emissions from animal excreta<br />

contributed the equivalent of 6.6 million<br />

tonnes of carbon dioxide within the<br />

agriculture sector, equivalent to 17% of<br />

agricultural emissions.<br />

“The change for hill country farms is<br />

significant. For example, N2O emission<br />

factors from excreta deposited by sheep<br />

will be reduced by two-thirds while<br />

emission factors from beef cattle will be<br />

reduced by one-third. At a national level,<br />

the updated calculations result in a 4.4 %<br />

reduction in agricultural emissions and<br />

a 2.1 % decrease to New Zealand’s total<br />

reported emissions for 2017.<br />

“The effect of slope on the urine<br />

emission factor is thought to be due to<br />

a combination of lower soil microbial<br />

activity and lower soil moisture contents<br />

on steeper slopes relative to low slopes.<br />

Under these conditions, smaller amounts<br />

of nitrous oxide are produced and<br />

released into the atmosphere.<br />

“It is not yet fully understood why<br />

sheep have a lower urine emission factor<br />

compared to cattle. However, it is thought<br />

to be related to the lower volume of<br />

urine voided by sheep, which may lead to<br />

greater utilisation of the excreted nitrogen<br />

by plants. However, this theory requires<br />

further investigation.”<br />

The new emission factors were<br />

considered by an independent panel<br />

of agriculture emissions experts, who<br />

recommended they be applied to the <strong>2020</strong><br />

national greenhouse gas inventory, which<br />

will report emissions from 1990 to 2018.<br />

Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research was<br />

a partner in the research.<br />

By industry, the emission reductions<br />

will be:<br />

• Total sheep emissions (including<br />

methane and nitrous oxide emissions)<br />

reported for 2017 will be 10.6 % lower.<br />

• Total beef cattle emissions (including<br />

methane and nitrous oxide emissions)<br />

reported for 2017 will be 5.0 % lower.<br />

• Total dairy cattle emissions including<br />

methane and nitrous oxide emissions)<br />

reported for 2017 will be 1.4 % lower.<br />

Film gets<br />

monkey off<br />

his back<br />

A young Kiwi, Los Angeles-based,<br />

filmmaker has made good use of the<br />

lockdown period to help farmers battling<br />

with mental health issues.<br />

Film maker Hunter Williams (21) says<br />

his documentary aims to introduce<br />

characters from different backgrounds<br />

that a rural audience can see a bit of<br />

themselves in and relate to.<br />

The short film addresses the poorer<br />

mental health outcomes facing the rural<br />

sector and encourages rural people to talk<br />

about the struggles they may be facing<br />

and not keep their feelings bottled up.<br />

Williams was raised in Hawkes Bay<br />

and comes from a large farming family.<br />

He’d returned from Los Angeles to New<br />

Zealand for a few months, due to Covid,<br />

and was able to use the time to finally<br />

complete the documentary which he shot<br />

in October.<br />

The eight minute documentary is called<br />

The Monkeys on Our Backs. Various<br />

farmers and organisations have been<br />

involved in the production, including the<br />

Rural Support Trust and Farmstrong.<br />

Williams told Rural News the motivation<br />

for doing the film came from his own<br />

experience struggling with mental health<br />

related issues.<br />

“This is always something that has been<br />

close to my heart. I also grew up around<br />

farmers and rural communities, with the<br />

majority of my extended family being<br />

based in Central Hawkes Bay.”<br />

Williams says the idea for the<br />

documentary came from a conversation<br />

he had at his mother’s wedding.<br />

“After I had done a speech, a farmer<br />

came up to me and said: ‘you look like<br />

you’ve got monkeys on your back; I’ve got<br />

monkeys on my back too’,” he explained.<br />

“This was the first time this farmer had<br />

opened up about his mental health and it<br />

got me thinking about how hard it must<br />

be for those struggling in rural areas.”<br />

He says the documentary is primarily<br />

aimed at rural people and aims to<br />

introduce a couple of characters from<br />

different backgrounds that the audience<br />

can see a bit of themselves in and relate to.<br />

“I hope that by hearing these stories<br />

people might find it within themselves<br />

to be willing to open up and talk about<br />

how they’re feeling with their friends and<br />

family, as I’m a firm believer that this is a<br />

necessary step when it comes to tackling<br />

this issue.”<br />

Williams says as well as talking to<br />

farmers in the film, he also speaks with<br />

Federated Farmers chief executive Terry<br />

Copeland, Michelle Thompson, who runs<br />

the workplace mental wellness workshop<br />

Good Yarn, and Lon Anderson who is<br />

a regional co-ordinator for the Rural<br />

Support Trust. The documentary also<br />

directs people to these organisations as<br />

places that they can find help if needed.<br />

“I would also love for urban people to be<br />

able to see this film too, to gain a greater<br />

appreciation for our rural communities<br />

and all they do to keep our country<br />

moving.”<br />

Mycoplasma bovis eradication<br />

reaches two year milestone<br />

Source: Minister O’Connor’s office<br />

New Zealand’s to eradicate the cattle disease<br />

Mycoplasma bovis is on track, says Agriculture and<br />

Biosecurity Minister Damien O’Connor.<br />

“Two years ago the Government, DairyNZ, Beef<br />

+ Lamb New Zealand and industry partners<br />

made a bold decision to go hard and commit<br />

to a 10-year, $880 million programme<br />

to eradicate M. bovis to protect our most<br />

important sector and the economy.<br />

“Beef and dairy export prices held up. In fact,<br />

there was record demand for our meat. In March<br />

total red meat monthly exports topped $1 billion for<br />

the first time. This shows that these sectors are wellplaced<br />

to lead us out of this economic crisis.<br />

“As we have with our response to COVID-19, this<br />

Government showed leadership, made a tough decision<br />

and have managed this eradication effort with discipline<br />

and focus, because we knew we were doing it for the<br />

economic and social good of the country.<br />

“We’ve also shown, again, that we’re able to do what<br />

others countries have not in terms of disease eradication<br />

efforts. That’s something our farming community<br />

should be really proud of. I’m certainly very proud of<br />

them.<br />

A key measure of success is the Estimated<br />

Dissemination Rate (EDR). If the EDR is greater than<br />

one, then the disease is growing. If it’s below one, we’re<br />

shrinking the disease.<br />

“The EDR is 0.4, which is down from over two at the<br />

start of the outbreak, so we are looking harder to find<br />

fewer infected animals. This tells us that M. bovis is not<br />

endemic in our national herd.<br />

“We currently have 17 active properties and 232 that<br />

have been cleared of the disease. We’ve culled 154,788<br />

cattle.”<br />

DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel said there’s no<br />

question M. bovis has had a huge impact on the sector,<br />

particularly those affected farmers and their families.<br />

“While there’s still work to do, farmer feedback has<br />

been heard and processes improved. We are seeing more<br />

farmer-focused processes and shorter turnaround times<br />

for farms under movement restrictions,” said Mr van<br />

der Poel.<br />

“From here, we want to continue speeding up the<br />

process so farmers are moving through the programme<br />

as quickly as possible. M. bovis has been one of our<br />

biggest biosecurity incursions and it has highlighted<br />

how crucial biosecurity is for New Zealand.”<br />

Andrew Morrison, chairman of Beef + Lamb New<br />

Zealand, said farmers deserve a lot of credit for their<br />

efforts in helping to free New Zealand of this disease.<br />

“Although there is still a long way to go, the sector<br />

can be proud of its contribution. We are encouraged by<br />

the increasing number of farmers meeting their NAIT<br />

obligations but we are still short of where we need to be.<br />

“It is vital we continue to lift this compliance,<br />

otherwise we will remain vulnerable to diseases. As<br />

the response to Mycoplasma bovis has found, there is a<br />

significant cost to the sector if farmers do not comply<br />

with NAIT. It’s also vital farmers maintain complete and<br />

accurate NAIT records for the speedy tracing of animals<br />

and ultimately to protect the industry.”<br />

Key reasons<br />

to buy new<br />

Buying new has many advantages. No one has<br />

yet lived in your brand new home and it has that<br />

new home smell and feel.<br />

That doesn’t appeal to the villa crowd.<br />

But many people dream of a home in a<br />

new suburb.<br />

There are many other advantages --<br />

such as being able to customise the home<br />

before it’s built. Buyers love it that their<br />

build guarantee covers most things and<br />

there’s little maintenance to do for the first<br />

10 years.<br />

There are a long list of reasons some<br />

people dream of buying new.<br />

They include:<br />

• Current Building Code requirements<br />

specify a higher standard of insulation<br />

and glazing than you can expect in an<br />

older home, which makes your new home<br />

warmer in winter and cooler in summer,<br />

meaning cheaper to run. In addition<br />

there has been a vast improvement in the<br />

quality and technology of construction<br />

materials over the last decade.<br />

• New homes are designed for modern<br />

lifestyles with walk-in wardrobes, double<br />

or triple car garaging, en suites and heat<br />

pumps.<br />

• Internal access garaging.<br />

• Indoor-outdoor flow. Home builders<br />

before the 1970s rarely thought about this.<br />

• Automatic pool covers and electric<br />

curtains are included in a lot of new<br />

homes, he says.<br />

• In a new subdivision you’re not going<br />

to have five cross-leased small homes next<br />

door to your architecturally designed fivebedroom<br />

dream home, he says.<br />

• New purpose-built shopping and<br />

service centres cater for the modern life.<br />

• New schools can be popular. New<br />

schools are being designed with “Modern<br />

Learning Environments”, which are<br />

considered better layouts for 21st-century<br />

learning.<br />

Another important factor is it’s easier<br />

to get a mortgage. New Reserve Bank of<br />

New Zealand loan to value (LVR) ratio<br />

restrictions from October 1 don’t relate<br />

to new homes. Likewise the KiwiSaver<br />

HomeStart grant is doubled for first time<br />

buyers.<br />

When it comes to new apartment<br />

buildings they’re built to a higher<br />

standard of earthquake/fire proofing and,<br />

hopefully, are no longer leaky.<br />

There are, of course, disadvantages to<br />

buying new. Not everyone wants to wait<br />

six or 12 months to move into their home.<br />

Other downsides include:<br />

• Borrowing to cover the progress<br />

payments is more complex than taking<br />

out a mortgage on an existing property.<br />

• Builders and developers can go broke,<br />

leaving the buyer in an awkward position.<br />

• With some new homes the buyer<br />

effectively needs to become a project<br />

manager.<br />

• You have to deal with council for<br />

building and sometimes resource consent.<br />

• The location may be further from the<br />

centre than you wanted.<br />

• If it’s infill housing you might have a<br />

cross lease situation that some people find<br />

tricky.<br />

• There are often teething problems with<br />

a new build.<br />

• You won’t get a quaint tree-lined<br />

street.<br />

• Your section will most likely be<br />

smaller than that of an existing home.<br />

• Fences, paths and landscaping might<br />

need to be added at a cost.<br />
