Police ping dope smokers

ROLLED: Police have

caught about 20 people

over a four week period at

a popular dope smoking

spot on Edwards Rd near

Rolleston

GETTY

• By Devon Bolger

A DOPE smoking hang out

has been uncovered by police

resulting in about 20 people

being caught.

Over the past four weeks,

police have targeted Edwards Rd,

which runs off Brookside Rd in

Rolleston.

The shingle road has become a

regular park up spot for cannabis

smokers aged in their late teens

to late 20s.

Said Sergeant Alex Pickover:

“We have been focusing on that

road because it is a well-known

spot for people to park up and

smoke drugs.

“It is a rural country road and

it is pitch black, there are various

reasons why I could guess they

would go down there.”

The offenders, all from Selwyn,

were formally warned and had

their cannabis and utensils

destroyed.

“On Queen’s Birthday, we

apprehended three people, one

in the late afternoon and two in

the mid-evening,” said Sergeant

Pickover.

“People aren’t purchasing or

selling drugs down there but are

smoking them. We are confiscating

anywhere between two to 10

grams of cannabis each time.”

The offending is mainly taking

place between 4pm and 1am.

Sergeant Pickover said a concern

was people smoking cannabis

could also be driving.

“They are in a car so once they

have smoked the drugs they are

then under the influence and

that increases the chance of a

motor vehicle accident.”

Police had not caught anyone

driving after smoking cannabis.

They would continue to target

Edwards Rd, he said.

submissions was about 500.

ECan and the district council

received an application to

increase the opencast coal mine

earlier this year.

The site is currently 52ha, of

which 38ha is mined, and owner

Bathurst Coal is seeking retrospective

land use consent for

existing and future earthworks.

Production at the site is currently

95,000 tonnes of coal per

annum, which is sold for industrial

and commercial use.

Forest and Bird is one of the

organisations opposing the

expansion.

A spokeswoman said it was

concerned about the ecological

and environmental impacts.

“Our concerns are around

freshwater contamination in

the already stressed Selwyn

Waikirikiri catchment, and the

loss of native species and habitat,

especially wetlands.

“We are not surprised at the

number of submissions. We

have had concerns about the

expansion of Bathurst’s Malvern

Hills coal mine for some time,’’

she said.

District Plan

review may

cost less

than expected

• By Devon Bolger

THE REVIEW of the District

Plan may no longer go $400,000

over budget.

The plan is essentially the

district’s rule book on how land

can be used and developed.

Said a district council report:

“In order to deliver the proposed

plan for public notification in

mid-late 2020, a projected budget

exceedance of approximately

$400,000 was expected for the

financial year 2019/20.

“This could possibly be less

and maybe more in the order of

$200,000,” it said.

The budget for the project

for the 2019/20 financial year is

$840,000 and $823,269 has been

spent as at April 30.

In the report, it said the increase

in cost is due to additional

workstreams being undertaken.

“These were not anticipated

to be completed as part of the

review but were directed to be

undertaken by the District Plan

committee. This has resulted in

additional cost than what was

originally planned for, in the order

of $80-100k for this 2019/20

financial year alone.”

More flood work under way

• By Devon Bolger

UPGRADES TO a major

Hororata drain to help with

flood protection are under way.

Work on improvements to

the Hawkins Rd drain has

begun with new culverts being

installed to allow for an increase

in capacity of the drain.

An initial assessment has also

been completed regarding the

suitability of using old gravel pits

as a location to channel excess

stormwater.

Robby Wilson who lives in

Hororata says his property on

Downs Rd floods severely.

He said the Hawkins Rd

drain project is like placing an

ambulance at the bottom of a

cliff.

“THey should be looking at

how to stop the water from

getting into the township rather

than dealing with it once it’s

here.”

Mr Wilson says he and other

residents plan on meeting with

district councillors to discuss

what can be done.

More than $400,000 of flood

protection works are planned for

Hororata this year.

THere have been a number of

notable flooding events in the

township in recent years, two in

2018 and two last year.

THe town’s average annual

rainfall is about 790mm/year

and flooding generally occurs

during prolonged rain events

over multiple days.

A water level monitor will be

THe drain on Bealey Rd will

alternative discharge point for

THe work will begin after the

diversion drain is complete.

Extensive willow clearing is

planned for Cordy’s Stream and

the Hororata River as well as

gravel removal to improve flood

flows.

Resource consent is needed

for the project and the district

council is continuing to work

with Environment Canterbury to

scope the work required.

Over the last financial year,

a number of projects have

been completed to improve the

stormwater system in Hororata.

Drains have been cleaned on

a number of channels and are

maintenance.

A manhole has been installed

to pump water when the flap gate

Retirement village takes shape

• By Devon Bolger

WORK ON a new retirement village

in Prebbleton is progressing with

construction starting on its community

centre.

The large development, near Stationmasters

Way, has also been given its

official name which is the Bupa Ashford

Retirement Village and Care Home.

Head of property development Jamie

Gibson said: “We’re currently working

with our contractors to assess the impact

of Covid-19 but

early indications

suggest stage one,

comprising of 23

villas, will be ready

for sale by January

next year,” he said.

The retirement

village will have

101 villas, a 56-bed

Jamie Gibson

care home and 16

serviced apartments.

“It’s been a fantastic feeling to begin

construction again on a development

that has had a lot of interest around it

already.

“We’re looking forward to providing

quality living and care to residents from

the Prebbleton community.”

The development is the second retirement

village planned for Prebbleton with

Summerset also planning one at the old

Meadow Mushrooms site.

Data from the 2018 census shows the

UPDATE: Work on the Bupa Ashford Retirement Village and Care Home in

number of people in the district who are

over 65-years-old increased by 36.2 per

cent since 2013.

The figures show 6975 residents are in

the age group which makes up 11.3 per

cent of the population.

The total population of the Prebbleton

township increased by 62.8 per cent between

2013 and 2018 to 4515 residents.

The retirement villages are not the

only new developments in Prebbleton.

The Fresh Choice supermarket on the

corner of Tosswill Rd and Central Ave is

expected to open soon.

Woolworths New Zealand Ltd and

Prebbleton Properties Ltd are behind the

project,

The supermarket will be 1300m2

and will open 7am-10pm, seven days a

week.

Resource consent for

another complex to

be lodged this year

• By Devon Bolger

RESOURCE CONSENT for the Summerset

retirement village planned for Prebbleton is

expected to be lodged later this year.

Said Summerset general manager development

Aaron Smail: “Over the last six

months, since settling the purchase of the

Springs Rd land in December last year, we

have been in discussions with the district

council and gathering information to inform

the village design,” he said.

Mr Smail said for construction they typically

employ local sub-contractors under the

management of Summerset’s construction

site managers, quality assurance advisors

and site co-ordinators.

A start date for construction won’t be

known until closer to the time of all consents

being granted.

“The construction of a village of this size

usually creates around 350 jobs and once

the village is operational it would employ

between 30 to 50 full-time equivalent staff

across a number of roles including management

roles, nurses, caregivers, property

maintenance, and housekeeping,” he said.

Summerset Prebbleton will be home

to around 370 people, living in villas,

townhouses and an aged care centre incorporating

a memory care centre specially for

people living with dementia.

It will also include amenities such as a

bowling green, movie theatre, café and

swimming pool.

Tina Bond

Unearthing the secrets of Springston’s

Tina Bond is the

co-ordinator of the

Springston Secret

Garden that provides

food and knowledge

to the community. She

speaks to Devon Bolger

about her passion for

gardening and love of

the township

How did you get started with

the Springston Secret Garden?

I have a son who is in year 8

this year at Springston School.

He was in year 7 when we moved

here. The school has a lot to do

with the garden, they have their

garden club over there. Anyway,

my son found out about it at

school and then told us about

it. We went along to a working

bee one weekend and then Sue,

who used to take care of those

things, asked if I wanted to go

along to a committee meeting.

I just got more and more jobs

until I ended up becoming the

co-ordinator. I am a stay-athome

mum anyway so I have a

lot more time on my hands than

most people.

What is the purpose of the

garden?

The main purpose for us is to

teach and to help the community

to learn how to have their own

garden. It also provides a space

for families that don’t have room

for their own garden at home to

be able to grow food. People can

come along and do a little bit of

work and take home whatever

they want. We also provide seeds

and seedlings and what-not for

people to be able to grow their

own. We of course also do a lot

with Springston School, we have

the garden club and a few other

clubs and competitions as well.

They have their own little section

of the garden so we do a lot to

teach them.

How can people get involved?

We encourage people to come

along whenever they can. We

have a few different people that

lets the kids have a runaround, it

is not just a set thing. We really

rely on the locals help out.

Why do you think it is

important to have a community

garden?

I think it is, especially with all

of the Covid-19 stuff going on.

When people were restricted

and had to stay at home it was

really amazing for us and our

volunteers to be able to provide

for their families. A lot of people

were really struggling to get to

the supermarket or get fresh

fruit and vegetables delivered,

I like that the garden teaches

kids and their families to be able

to provide for later. I got all of

that from my grandparents and

parents when I was little so it

is nice to be able to have a safe

environment for people to learn.

Have there been any

stand-out moments during

your time with the garden?

It would have to be working

with the school kids, they are

amazing. When they come in

they run and are so excited and

happy to be there. Everyone is

just really keen to look and learn.

It is really amazing to see how

excited they get over the little

changes in the garden and to see

them really interested in their

environment.

Secret Garden

How are the garden and

supplies funded?

We did a pollination party

last year which was during

the bee awareness month. We

managed to raise enough funds

there to buy all of the tools and

equipment and seedlings that we

needed for the season so now we

are doing the autumn fundraiser.

We are doing a raffle as well as a

pruning demonstration so that

has to make enough to get us

through the next two seasons.

Last year, we got a $1000 funding

grant from the Selwyn District

Council which was amazing. A

lot of the people who support

the garden will supply seeds or

excess plants. We do really rely

on donations and community

support. We have had some really

great donations from different

local businesses. Last year Mitre

10 gave us 40 pairs of kids gloves.

Usually, we had about 10 pairs

and they would have to have one

glove each. It was like Christmas

for the kids.

How long have you been living

in Springston?

We live really close to the

garden which is very handy. We

moved here from Hokitika for

my husband’s job about a year

ago. The property we are renting

here is a really big and beautiful

property but there is no food

garden here, it is all ornamental.

The boys have always been able

to go outside and graze and just

find whatever they want to eat so

it has been a change for us. The

secret garden helps to ease my

addiction though.

What do you like about living

in the township?

I really love that it is a small

town. During Covid-19, it was

amazing to have so much space

to ourselves and It is really nice

and peaceful in general. It is just

tranquil.

What is your favourite plant

to grow?

I love Kale even though

everyone thinks its gross. I have

decked out the garden in kale

because we have it in everything.

Silverbeet is a favourite as well

because it just grows everywhere

and anywhere and will just keep

going and going.

Could you tell me about your

family?

I am married, my husband

works in property development.

We have two boys, a 12-year-old

who is at Springston School and a

two-year-old.

Over a dozen painters, potters

“It has only been a matter

we can do this.

“At the moment that section

Bridget’s dedication earns award

• By Bea Gooding

COMPLETING MORE than

250 hours of community service

was expected to take about five

years, but Prebbleton resident

Bridget Maw achieved just that

in a matter of weeks.

Because of her dedication, the

year 12 Rangi Ruru Girls’ School

student recently received a silver

Student Volunteer Army award

once she reached the milestone.

“I was super excited, and it was

such a great feeling knowing I

was using my time to help other

people in some way,” she said.

The Covid-19 pandemic originally

put her volunteering efforts

to a halt.

Prior to the lockdown, she had

done about 20 hours of service;

face painting at the children’s

day event in New Brighton and

watering native trees

at Drayton Park, Mt Pleasant.

She did not let the limitations

of lockdown get her down and

instead used the time to gather

materials around the house to

knit a blanket which was later

donated to the Red Cross.

“The idea came about when

someone from the boarding

house at school suggested

knitting squares to be stitched

together later as a blanket.

“But after I knitted the first few

squares, I decided to keep going

and ended up making a whole

blanket myself.

“I was knitting 10 hours a day

over three weeks and towards

the end of lockdown I was doing

about 11 hours.”

When Bridget was not volunteering,

she focused her energy

on academics as she was undertaking

triple science at school.

Beyond high school, she

wanted to study vet science,

engineering or health sciences

and planned to continue her

charitable efforts moving

forward.

Nurse Maude was an organisation

she held close to her heart

and she hoped to support them

more in the future.

“When I was nine-years-old,

my dad died of cancer and he

received hospice care there and

they gave my family so much

support,” Bridget said.

It was because of this that

sparked her passion for volunteering

at various organisations,

knowing the impact it can have

when someone took the time out

of their day to help.

She encouraged young people,

now more than ever, to get

involved with a cause or charity

they were willing to back.

Said Bridget: “It’s such a good

feeling to see the impact you’re

having on the community,

whether it’s creating something

or volunteering your time.

“You never know when

you’re the one who will need

help, especially now during the

Covid-19 pandemic.”

Converted city girl comes full circle

• By David Hill

THE LAST thing Tai Tapu

resident Lucy McPherson expected

when she left school was to be

working in the arable sector.

The Foundation for Arable

Research communications and

events co-ordinator was brought

up on a sheep and cropping farm

near Leeston.

‘‘I had big plans of doing architecture

and interior design at

school, but I made a last-minute

decision to do law and commerce

at Victoria University, as

I thought law might have better

job prospects than architecture.”

But after one year, Ms McPherson

realised law was not for her,

so she switched to a communications

degree at Massey

University’s Wellington

campus.

‘‘I was very much a

converted city girl, but

Wellington just didn’t

do it for me, and I just

couldn’t picture myself

working for a big law

firm in Auckland. For

some reason I hadn’t

thought of that before I

got to university.”

Her rural background meant

she had no difficulty finding

summer jobs working on the

‘‘I realised that

while I was in a

Ms McPherson returned home

four days later and started work

at FAR.

Three years on, she is now living

at Tai Tapu with her partner

on a sheep and beef property,

just across Te Waihora Lake

she grew up.

from her experience is to ‘‘go

the direction laid down

by others.

‘‘Agriculture wasn’t a subject at

school. I was one of 25 girls who

petitioned to have an agriculture

class and our young farmers club

at school flopped because there

wasn’t support from the hierarchy

because they didn’t see it as something

that fit with their culture.

‘‘So we all went off to study

Your Local Views

John Leslie responds to the

Selwyn Times article on the

expansion of the Bathurst

coal mine in the Malvern

Hills

I support the mine. It supports

employment for locals, these

earnings are spent locally. If the

coal is not produced here it will

be produced on the West Coast/

Southland/overseas, this will

contribute to higher running

costs for buyers, more transport

harming the environment.

Unfortunately, the dairy factories,

schools and hospitals that

use coal are not able to change

to another source at the flick of

the switch, perhaps the objectors

should allow more hydro lakes/

storage to be constructed.

If the coal doesn’t come from

New Zealand it will be imported.

This will not help New Zealand

in the current crisis, if anything

more coal should be mined and

more exported. This would increase

Government tax take and

help pay off the country’s debt,

provide more employment.

David Fletcher responds

to the revised plans for

the proposed Countdown

supermarket in Lincoln

The district council is conspicuous

by its lack of district

and community development

planning.

The door is open for developers

to drive the development of

Lincoln in whatever direction

best suits their needs.

Sadly, we are losing productive

land to residential and

commercial development that

future generations may well

regret given the forecast demand

for food.

The very least the district

council must do is hold the developer

to account regarding this

development.

The downstream effects of this

development will only become

apparent over time and by then

it will be ratepayers footing

the costs of infrastructure and

accelerated maintenance costs.

If the artist’s impression is at

all representative of this development,

it will be an eyesore.

A bog-standard Woolworths

design.

The community deserves better

than a ‘function over form’

design.

Realistically the community

has very little say in what

happens and unfortunately,

our district council lacks the

community connection to

represent us.

Working bee helps restore Lincoln reserve

• By Devon Bolger

VOLUNTEERS CAME together

at Lincoln’s Mahoe Reserve on

Sunday in a bid to restore the

area.

Lincoln Envirotown Trust

member Sue Jarvis said about 15

people turned out for the planting

day.

“It went really well. We had

the usual people plus some new

people and some children.

“Lots of hard-workers got lots

of weeding done, which is a big

issue because of weed spread

from other places but also because

the reserve was an illegal

rubbish dump for many years

and people dumped their garden

waste,” she said.

The Mahoe Reserve project

was started in 2002 by Ms Jarvis

and year 9 students at Lincoln

High School.

“Planting began in 2003 and

has continued annually by

students, staff, and Lincoln community

members.

“The aim is to restore to the

native woodland that was originally

in the Lincoln area.”

The project is now overseen by

the Mahoe management committee

which consists of community

members and is supported

by volunteers and the district

council.

Included in the group are

chairwoman Sue Jarvis, Sue Allan,

Ralph Scott, Andrew Hammond,

Randi Hutchinson, Mike

Bowie and Lindsay Barker.

Ms Jarvis said they will continue

to work on the restoration of

Mahoe Reserve and have planting

days planned for the future.

The Lincoln Envirotown Trust

is a charitable trust dedicated

to fostering sustainable

communities in the district.

The group’s aim is to educate,

support, research and promote

sustainability, by working

with the community and

in partnership with other

organisations.

•The next planting day will

be held on Sunday, July 5,

starting at 2pm. Contact Sue

Jarvis on sue.jarvis@orcon.

net.nz to get involved.

DEDICATED: Lincoln resident Ralph Scott was one of

several people, including children, at the working bee. He is a

long-term member of the Mahoe management committee.

BACKYARD CRITTERS

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a

new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to

raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things

Sap-sucking psyllid

damages leaves

HAVE YOU ever parked

your car under a tree only

to find it later covered with

sticky droplets?

Chances are there are

insects feeding on the tree

and excreting honeydew

onto your car.

One group of insects

that commonly excrete

honeydew are psyllids or

jumping plant louse; sapsucking

insects that can

live in large numbers of

host plants.

A New Zealand native

species that lives exclusively

on Pittosporum species is

the Pittosporum psyllid

Trioza vitreoradiata.

This psyllid species

has inadvertently been

introduced to England,

Ireland and France.

Adults are winged,

yellow-green to black in

colour and 3-4mm long.

Although resembling

aphids, the psyllids lack

the rear end ‘twin exhaust

pipe-like’ appendages

called cornicles and don’t

form colonies like aphids.

Overwintering adult

females lay on average 190

eggs on the underside of

new leaves in spring.

The tapered eggs are

attached to the leaf on a

short stalk, are pale cream

and develop to pale orange

colour before hatching 14

days after oviposition.

Nymphs are flat ovalshaped,

scale-like insects

and orange-brown in

colour.

The sap-sucking by

the Pittosporum psyllid

stimulate the plant to

make characteristic leaf

bumps or blisters.

The psyllids have

mouthparts called stylets

consisting of two tubes

that are inserted into the

leaves. Saliva is injected

through one of the tubes

into the leaf while the

second tube sucks the

plant juices into the insect.

Excess water, sugar and

white wax is excreted as

honeydew by the psyllids,

which can make a mess of

leaves and other surfaces

below.

The honeydew is often

utilised by sooty mould

giving a dirty black

appearance.

Fortunately a good

number of ladybird,

lacewing and parasitoid

wasp natural enemies

are on hand to keep the

psyllid populations in

check.

Opportunities on offer

for Selwyn youth

The Selwyn Youth Council is on the lookout for great ideas to support young people in the district.

Applications are open for the Selwyn Youth Project Fund, run by the Youth Council to support groups

and individuals with events or activities that support the wellbeing of youth in Selwyn.

Youth Council Chair Liv Duder says the fund offers opportunities young people might not

otherwise get, and was an important part of the Youth Council’s role in being there to support all

young people in Selwyn.

Funds last year supported a day for Māori youth in district along with mental health and

wellbeing initiatives.

“I look forward to seeing the applications every year and hearing what people are passionate

about,” says Liv. “We’re here to support youth and make this a more enjoyable place to hang out

and live outside of school. It’s cool to see what people want to do and how we can help them

achieve it.”

Seeing the range of things that were put forward for funding also helped the Youth Council get an

idea of needs in the district and opportunities where they could support young people, she says.

It also helps tackle some serious issues close to the Youth Council’s heart she says. That included

the grant they were able to give last year to The Parenting Place charity’s Attitude team to run

life-skills and mental health presentations at Darfield High School, Ellesmere College, and Lincoln

High School, reaching 2300 students.

“The talk we helped to fund was about mental health and we wanted to make sure that youth

were able to participate because it was a massive issue at the time, and still is. The Attitude team

interact really well with young people and give the topics a lighter feel while still discussing the

more serious issues.”

There is up to $5,000 in funds available, so if you have a cool idea or a plan in place (big or small) to

deliver something great for the community, the Selwyn Youth Council are keen to hear from you.

For criteria and to apply visit selwyn.govt.nz/community/youth-council or email youth.council@

selwyn.govt.nz if you have any questions.

Aquatic Centre pools re-open this week

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre will have all its pools re-opened this week following maintenance work.

The leisure pool, learn to swim and hydrotherapy pools were all closed to allow maintenance work to

take place during Alert Level 3 and with the reduced numbers at the pool under Level 2.

The work was planned as part of the aquatic centre expansion project and doing under Alert Level 3

conditions meant a planned shutdown of the pools later in the year won’t be required.

The learn to swim and hydrotherapy pools have already reopened, along with lane swimming and on

Monday the centre was able to begin refilling the leisure pool. Refilling, heating and ensuring the pool

is ready for use takes a few days, but the pool should be open to the public again today (Wednesday

10 June).

Restrictions on the number of people allowed at the

Aquatic Centre remain while Level 2 is in place, but may

change with changing guidelines from the Ministry of

Health. Keep an eye on the Council website or our new

COVID-19 updates app, which you can find and download

to your smartphone or tablet at covid-19.selwyn.govt.nz.

Work is also continuing on Te Ara Ātea and the Rolleston

Town Centre infrastructure project, following the reopening

of Tennyson Street from Rolleston Drive to Markham Way.

The framing for Te Ara Ātea has begun, with the framing

for the left hand side of the building largely complete.

Work is continuing to install the roof frame and put up the

external walls at the Foster Park Indoor Courts and on the

foundations for the Health Hub.

Selwyn Open – A slice of France

in West Melton

As part of our Selwyn Open campaign we’re profiling some of the

many excellent businesses local to you. You can find these businesses

on the Selwyn Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory

This week we talk to Jean-Francois Martinez from Les Délices

Bakery and Patisserie in West Melton.

For over three years Jean-Francois and Kara Martinez have been

serving up a slice of France in West Melton.

It was baking that brought together Jean-Francois, from Brittany in

north-west France, and Kara, from the Chatham Islands.

The couple met while working at a French bakery in Ireland, Jean-

Francois says.

“I followed her back home and it’s been 17 years. I love New

Zealand. It’s awesome. I love the lifestyle and the people.”

Baking has remained at the heart of their relationship after they

settled in Templeton. After a decade of visiting West Melton to sell

their bread at the markets, the couple were excited a few years ago

to seize the chance of setting up their own bakery in the township.

Jean-Francois, a trained bread baker, creates the bakery's artisan

breads and Kara creates the patisseries, Danish pastries and other

sweet treats Les Délices serves up.

Jean-Francois has added some typical Kiwi fare to his baking,

getting into making Kiwi pies – though he refuses to follow the Kiwi

style of using margarine and proudly sticks to his French training of

only ever using butter in his pastry.

Community is the heart of the bakery, Jean-Francois says and they

source as many of their ingredients as possible locally.

“The flour we use is grown and milled in Canterbury and we only

use spray-free flour. We use milk sourced here in Selwyn and freerange

eggs from West Melton.”

In return, he says West Melton has been good to them.

“We have had such awesome support, especially during COVID-19.

In level four we did home deliveries of bread and pastries and

people really got behind us. We are really proud of how our team

has adapted to the restrictions with each level.

We do quite a bit of sponsorship of schools and sports teams, it’s

a good way to give back. People support us and we like to support

local charities where we can”.

ON THE

ROADS

On the roads

Tennyson Street is closed from 43 Tennyson

Street to Markham Way due to the Rolleston

Town Centre infrastructure upgrade. Due to the

Lowes Road and Tennyson Street intersection

heading away from the intersection, but not

towards it. A stop/go system and speed restrictions are also in place

on Tennyson Street.

Leeston Road and Old Bridge Road intersection is being upgraded.

Traffic management is in place.

From Monday 15 June Trents Road will be closed heading south

east away from Springs Road while upgrades are made to the

Children staying active on their way to school

Schools, parents and children around the district have been taking up the active transport challenge,

despite disruptions to this year’s Active Autumn from COVID-19.

The annual campaign run by the Council’s Road Safety Team, was due to run in May encouraging

children to get walking, scooting or biking to school. Despite the campaign not being able to go ahead

as planned, Council Road Safety Coordinator Steph Hautler says it’s been awesome to see so many

Selwyn learners using Active Transport to get back into their school routine after lock down.

“The benefits of Active Transport are huge for all of us both mentally and physically, which many of us

have recently had time to discover over the lockdown period. Studies have also shown that physical

activity before school not only boosts mental health but helps children concentrate for longer. Getting

out walking, scooting or biking with your child reduces congestion, saves you money and increases

your child’s road safety awareness.”

Parents are also encouraged to take part, by getting

active and by talking with childen about road safety,

she says.

“Talk your child through the process of crossing the

road and how to wait for a safe gap between cars

before crossing.”

Drivers are also encouraged to take extra care behind

the wheel. With winter setting in and less hours of

daylight it’s important for drivers to keep an eye out for

children before and after school, especially with poor

visibility in fog or sunstrike from low winter sun.

School travel safety tips:

· Be bright be seen, ask your school for a safety vest.

· Tackle the routes together talking about sneaky

driveways and blind corners.

· Get out and active together to reduce the chaos at the

school gate.

· Wear your helmets, this goes for caregivers too, young

people are watching you!

Road safety resources for parents and children are

available from Selwyn District Council by emailing

stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phoning 347 2705.

It’s getting darker in the

mornings – be BRIGHT

to be SEEN!

Consent inspections go virtual

When the COVID-19 restrictions made going on-site difficult and led

to a mounting load of inspections, the Council’s inspections team

needed to think differently and went virtual.

With on-site inspections that had been booked unable to be

carried out under Level 4 and restrictions coming in under Level

3 the Council set up a virtual inspection option for drainage, solid

fuel heaters and interior dwelling alterations, as well as some

other inspections on a case by case basis, Council Building Team

Operations Leader Jenny Lilley says.

The virtual inspections were carried out via a video call on a mobile

phone or over Zoom with the inspector directing on what they

needed to see. The Council also provided a guide on the paperwork

required by the person applying for the consent which is available

on the Council website.

Having the digital inspections saved time for everyone, allowed staff

who couldn’t do onsite inspections at Level 3 to be involved and

keep working and proved popular with applicants, she says. In total

the team completed over 80 virtual inspections. The majority of the

virtual inspections were carried out during Level 3.

The Council’s AlphaOne Builders App is back on and the team

is now operating largely as they had before lockdown, Mrs Lilley

says. However, the experiment with virtual inspections had been a

good one.

“We’re going to keep them open as an an option – they’re a useful

tool to have.”

The team has been extremely busy since the lockdown ended,

regularly at full capacity and completing over 100 inspections in a

day last week, she says.

Ransley takes out first ARG eSport Cup

PREBBLETON’S Jaden Ransley

has been awarded the ARG

eSport Cup after a thrilling two

hour touring car endurance race

at Mount Panorama, Bathurst.

Ransley and Supercars star

Andre Heimgartner finished

fourth in the race, edging

season-long leader Harley Haber

by just seven points after Haber

and team-mate Fawzan El-Nabi

had a night they’d rather forget.

After two hours of entertaining

racing, it was wildcard entrants

Josh Files and Cooper Webster

who emerged on top in a thrilling

finish, edging out the GRM entry

of Dylan O’Keeffe and team-mate

Jackson Souslin-Harlow.

The first leg of the race was

dominated by title rival protagonists

Haber and Ash Sutton,

while polesitter Dylan O’Keefe

and Files ran not far behind in

the top five.

A safety car around the midrace

mark shook up the order at

the front, leaving Brett Holdsworth

leading from Will Brown,

Souslin-Harlow, and Webster,

who had taken over from Files.

At the restart, Webster quickly

dispatched Souslin-Harlow, took

advantage of Brown’s troubles

to move up to second, and then

passed Holdsworth to assume

the lead.

The order at the front remained

the same until a second

the race, setting up a 18min dash

to the flag.

Webster and Souslin-Harlow

traded positions multiple times

as they checked out from the rest

of the field.

At Hell Corner on the final lap,

Webster made a successful lunge

on Souslin-Harlow and immediately

built a buffer, doing just

enough to secure victory.

Souslin-Harlow finished

0.88sec behind, while Scott

McLaughlin, paired with Ben

McMellan, pulled off a last-lap

move on Supercars rival Heimgartner

to steal the final spot on

the podium.

Fourth place, however, was

enough for Heimgartner’s teammate

Ransley to wrap up the

ARG eSport title on a day his

title rivals Haber and Sutton

faltered.

Haber was hit with a drive

through penalty early on in the

race and his team-mate El-Nabi

was unlucky when Michael Clemente

spun in front of him at

Skyline Corner. El-Nabi made a

dangerous move tryng to get back

into the race, causing more carnage

and sealing Haber’s title fate.

Sutton led the race early on but

was shuffled down the order at

the first pitstop, and his teammate

Jake Blackhall was later

punted off the track. The two

eventually retired from the race.

Meanwhile, Aaron Seton and

Ed Williams finished fifth ahead

of Thomas Randle and Lochie

Hughes, while real-life Supercars

enduro team-mates Shane van

Gisbergen and Garth Tander

were classified seventh after running

as high as third in the final

safety car period.

Isolation heightens focus

• By Mark Henderson

LIKE MANY OF you, I took part in

a number of Zoom meetings during

lockdown, including wine tastings.

The latter involved far more intellectual

rigour than I had imagined — using one’s

senses to explain a wine to others (who

do not have the wine in front of them) is

surprisingly difficult, yet heightens the

focus on the wine in your glass.

For whatever reason, I haven’t tackled

many reds in this column recently, so

it seemed appropriate to explore a few

purity of fruit.

Silky and textural entry with a little

prickle on the tongue, showcasing loganberry,

plum and wood smoke with nice

chewiness from the tannins.

to the brightness and vivacity, while the

tannins are very fine.

Rather delicious. No sulphur

There’s richness yet a sense of coolness

as well, the fruit mingling with earth and

wild herb notes; a touch of tea leaf/pencil

A juiciness to the palate with a tangy

element framing the finish as the tannic

structure quietly builds. Time in bottle

should meld this together nicely.

Fragrant and floral nose of mixed berries,

Textural entry, berryfruit, wild herbs and

there’s lightness and airiness to this; depth

of flavour without weight, as cherry fruit

CALLS HAVE been made to

stop rates increases in response

to the Covid-19 crisis.

City counci lors James Gough,

Gardening

Don’t let that lockdown work disappear

NOW IT’S officially winter, don’t

abandon those lovely gardens that

enjoyed your attention during

lockdown.

Keep reaping the benefits of

your hard work through a few

monthly tasks.

This month’s jobs include pruning

of pip, stone fruit and roses,

harvesting of winter vegetables

and planting new strawberry

plants, shrubs and trees, as well as

general maintenance.

Vegetable patch

Continue planting seedlings

of vegetables that you want to

harvest in late winter/early spring.

Seeds of broad beans, onions,

peas, radish and spinach can still

be sown. Prepare the soil thoroughly

with the addition of fresh

compost before planting.

June is the month for dividing

old rhubarb plants and this

should be done every three to

four years. Plant new divisions

600mm apart. Rhubarb thrives

in a ‘rich’ soil ie fresh compost

enriched with blood and bone.

Winter flowering annuals

planted in autumn should be in in

full flower. They include alyssum,

calendulas, aurelia, nemesias,

pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragons,

stock and sweet peas.

Dead head finished flowers to

encourage continuous blooming.

Pruning fruit trees

June is the main month for

pruning existing fruit trees

and purchasing new ones.

Garden centres have the most

comprehensive selection of new

season fruit trees now. When

pruning young pip and stone

fruit trees, aim to create a strong

structure that will support the

weight of fruiting wood in future

years. With older, mature fruit

trees, remove inward growing

branches, reduce the height

of trees (for harvesting and

maintenance) and remove any

overgrown branches. Where there

are signs of damage or disease,

remove these branches.

Pruning berry fruit

All these berry fruit (raspberries,

boysenberries, loganberries,

gooseberries) are very vigorous

growers requiring the removal of

all old growth and some of the

same seasons canes where they

are not required. Tie new canes to

the existing wires or framework.

Be careful to remove any diseased

plant material.

Rose pruning commences

Apart from the odd late flowering

rose such as iceberg, most roses

have now shed their leaves and

can be pruned. Remove all dead

or diseased wood, remember

most rose bushes, even though

quite healthy, will have some dead

wood.

Prune to outward facing buds

and remove any wood that is

thinner than pencil thickness. If

some plants have a lot of dead/

diseased wood, it is advisable

to remove the specimens and

replace with new rose bushes.

With climbing roses, train the

main leaders (growing up from

ground) on a horizontal axis as

this encourages the production

of flowers. With all roses, a spray

with copper compound after

the completion of pruning helps

minimise reinfection of fungal

disease in spring.

Ornamental trees and

shrubs

Garden centres have the best

range of plants in June and July

so an excellent time to buy.

Always be fussy when selecting

new plants. Ensure they are new,

healthy, and not root-bound, and

are the right plant for the position

you are going to plant them

in. Try to avoid overcrowding in

your garden as trees and shrubs

can often grow a lot bigger than

what is written on the label.

Container gardens

Especially useful over the

winter months for growing salad

vegetables and herbs close to

the kitchen. Mass displays of

winter annuals in containers can

brighten up winter decks and

balconies. Always plant into fresh

container mix that has sufficient

nutrients for healthy, vigorous

growth.

Use your outdoor living areas

all year round

• Warm & dry in winter

• UV protection for summer

• Stylish & permanent

• 5 year warranty

Cheeky Toyota C-HR range revamped

AN ACQUAINTANCE asked me

recently did I like Toyota’s C-HR,

she was thinking of buying one.

I said it is a funky, trendy car

that will never let her down, I also

presented her with a couple of

other options, but the Toyota won

out and she is now a happy C-HR

owner.

The C-HR (coupe high-rider)

landed here around three years

ago and it immediately stood

out for its edgy styling and bold

presence, it is a small sport utility

vehicle that punches above its

weight in terms of looks, it appeals

to those who want fashion in their

new car purchase and want to

make a statement.

The C-HR has just had a facelift

for 2020; it gets some new kit,

while bolder cosmetic detailing

gives it more of an extreme look.

Importantly, it has also had a

major mechanical enhancement,

the C-HR is now available with

hybrid power – as an option.

There are five variants in the

C-HR line-up, this evaluation

doesn’t encompass the hybrid,

I’m due to drive that model soon,

however, the base model vehicle

is a good starting point in the

series and after driving it for a

week I certainly feel it is a worthy

consideration at $32,990.

That price is competitive,

and if you take into account

that the range spans to $37,990,

then there is a C-HR for all

budgets.

Of course the C-HR won’t be

for everyone, at just 4.3m it’s on

the small side and it’s compact

inside. I’m not saying it’s cramped,

far from it, rear passengers have

good leg room and more than

enough height, it’s just that if there

are five in the car, those broad

shouldered in the rear will be cosy.

However, cargo space is generous

at 318-litres.

Under the bonnet of the base

model sits an element of surprise

– a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol

engine. If you are thinking that

that would be a bit wimpy, think

again, there is a turbocharger to

lift the power outputs and also

provide economy.

It is rated by Toyota at 85kW

and 185Nm with the power

outputs developed low in the

rev band from 5200rpm to

5600rpm. Maximum torque is

also developed all of the way

from 1500rpm to 4000rpm which

provides a solid amount of energy

right through the mid-range,

exactly where it is needed for

everyday motoring.

Drive thereafter is channelled

TOYOTA C-HR: Extreme look will appeal to trendsetters.

through a seven-step continuously

variable automatic transmission.

Together, the driveline is very

smooth and seamless, no surprises

there, that’s the way it is with CVT.

While the base model C-HR looks

like a four-wheel-drive vehicle, it’s

not, however, there is an all-corner

drive model and that will add

$4500 to the price.

Nevertheless, the base model

is the quintessential urban jungle

challenger.

Performance is satisfactory.

The power and torque figures

are delivered low in the rev

band (5200 and 1500-4000rpm),

the engine has no hesitation of

hauling quickly through to the red

line if needed.

Against the clock the nonhybrid

model will reach 100km/h

from a standstill in 9.8sec and will

make 120km/h from 80km/h in

6.4sec.

On the subject of figures,

you’d also expect the C-HR to be

economical and you’d be quite

right. Toyota claims a 6.4-litre per

100km combined cycle fuel usage

average. The evaluation car’s trip

computer was constantly reading

around 7.6l/100km during my

time with it, that helped by an

economical 4.8l/100km figure

sitting at 100km/h on the open

road, the engine turning over at a

leisurely 1750rpm.

Even though I carried out my

normal highway open road run,

the C-HR was mostly used in an

around-the-city environment, a

busy new year period necessitated

a lot of short runs which are

never good for fuel economy so

I was pleasantly surprised by the

returns.

The C-HR is also pretty

• Price – Toyota C-HR,

$32,990

• Dimensions – Length,

height, 1565mm

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

front-wheeldrive,

1197cc, 85kW,

185Nm, continuously

variable automatic.

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 9.8sec

• Fuel usage – 6.4l/100km

sharp when presented with a

few quick corners. It rides and

handles with much dignity, the

ride isn’t severe, bumps and

ruts are well absorbed through

a wonderful four-corner

independent suspension thanks to

the engineering that is needed for

its four-wheel-drive stablemate.

With the changes for the new

decade, the C-HR could well be

described as well-specced. There

are a few extras such as a multimedia

8in touch screen system,

full smartphone integration that

incorporates Apple CarPlay and

Android Auto, which are new

inclusions. They sit on top of the

normal features you’d want in a

car such as this.

In keeping with the extreme

look of C-HR, Toyota also offers it

in bright colours, the combination

is very alluring and the entire

package reeks of desire.

That had a lot to do with the

choice my acquaintance made.

The C-HR isn’t big, but it is big on

value and presence.

Building on a budget

Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with

a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford.

Get smart with your money to achieve

your dream home without compromising

on what’s really important.

Consider buying a large plot of land with

friends or family which you can split into

smaller lots. Many great

locations tend to cover

more ground, so get the

stunning harbour view

you dream of by sharing

the cost with someone you

don’t mind having as a

neighbour.

Opting for lowmaintenance

building

materials, like vinyl siding

and metal roofing saves in

the long run. Although

they may be more

expensive to install you

will save money on future

repairs, replacement or

repainting.

Using salvaged and recycled

materials and componentry

from the abundance of

demolition sites around the

city not only adds valuable

character to new builds, but

can save money, too.

For the safety and security

of your home, don’t skimp on structural

elements, doors and windows. Buy the

very best you can afford and, together

with your architect or builder, determine

other areas you could save on to allow for

a few luxuries.

It’s important not to waste valuable cash

on overbuilding. Look carefully at the

existing properties in the area and be

Deciding exactly

what you want

and then sticking with

it will ensure you stay

on budget, on time,

and all with

minimal stress.

aware that building a home that is bigger

and better than those of your neighbours

will not necessarily equate to a fair price

if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the

value of your build will be determined

by the lower-priced homes

around it.

The experience of a wellqualified

contractor is an

invaluable asset in any

building project. Not only

will you have recourse

should anything go wrong,

but their experience in

the industry means they

will have established

relationships with suppliers

and subcontractors, whom

they trust to deliver the best

workmanship possible.

Keep a close eye on

construction allowances as

your home is being built

to ensure you are getting

what you asked for and

what you paid for. if you

had initially agreed on

using a specific brand, for

example, then don’t settle

for less, unless you discuss

a cost adjustment with your

builder or contractor.

Many a building project has snowballed

out of control in the financial department

due to changes being made to the design

and materials once building is already

underway. Deciding exactly what you

want and then sticking with it will ensure

you stay on budget, within your expected

time frame, and all with minimal stress.

Boundary lines are indicative only

West Melton 23 Whitewood Crescent

A great little lifestyle

Unseen from the road, this 1.1ha property has been

landscaped to maximise privacy. The timeless home

showcases an attractive combination of Oamaru

stone and cedar and has received recent

enhancements. A three-car garage, two-car carport

and an additional two-bay shed provide excellent

storage options. The paddock offers enough land to

have a pony, a tennis court, an orchard or graze a few

sheep. This property is a natural choice for those

looking for privacy, a little extra space and something

very special.
