<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 />

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 />

On page 9 today, police<br />

Farmers sheds and<br />

Chainsaws, tools and petrol<br />

Harker is advising people<br />

install security cameras, and<br />
that’s good advice.<br />
It not only helps the police<br />
after the fact, you can monitor<br />
home security cameras<br />

you can keep an eye on<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 />
time to find out what happened<br />
to all the plants and<br />
animals.<br />
“Along the way, the<br />

In his submission,<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 />

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 />

“It is better for them to<br />

“If this means deferring<br />

finding cheaper ways of<br />
doing things, then please<br />
do that,’ he said.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

his spot in the standings in round<br />

stayed clean and got good points.<br />

everything turned out.”<br />

competition leader, Australian,<br />
Harley Haber to take the crown.<br />
Haber has a 30-point advantage<br />

The Bathurst enduro race will<br />

“This is a case of Kiwis helping<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 />

A refreshing tangy note on the<br />
nose draws you in, strawberry<br />
with a little saline hint. Apple<br />
and berryfruits, some peach<br />
too, a touch of sweetness with a<br />
soft mousse. This isn’t trying to<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 />

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 />
