• By Devon Bolger<br />
A DOPE smoking hang out<br />
has been uncovered by police<br />
resulting in about 20 people<br />
being caught.<br />
Over the past four weeks,<br />
police have targeted Edwards Rd,<br />
which runs off Brookside Rd in<br />
Rolleston.<br />
The shingle road has become a<br />
regular park up spot for cannabis<br />
smokers aged in their late teens<br />
to late 20s.<br />
Said Sergeant Alex Pickover:<br />
“We have been focusing on that<br />
road because it is a well-known<br />
spot for people to park up and<br />
smoke drugs.<br />
“It is a rural country road and<br />
it is pitch black, there are various<br />
reasons why I could guess they<br />
would go down there.”<br />
The offenders, all from <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
were formally warned and had<br />
their cannabis and utensils<br />
destroyed.<br />
“On Queen’s Birthday, we<br />
apprehended three people, one<br />
in the late afternoon and two in<br />
the mid-evening,” said Sergeant<br />
Pickover.<br />
“People aren’t purchasing or<br />
selling drugs down there but are<br />
smoking them. We are confiscating<br />
anywhere between two to <strong>10</strong><br />
grams of cannabis each time.”<br />
The offending is mainly taking<br />
place between 4pm and 1am.<br />
Sergeant Pickover said a concern<br />
was people smoking cannabis<br />
could also be driving.<br />
“They are in a car so once they<br />
have smoked the drugs they are<br />
then under the influence and<br />
that increases the chance of a<br />
motor vehicle accident.”<br />
Police had not caught anyone<br />
driving after smoking cannabis.<br />
They would continue to target<br />
Edwards Rd, he said.<br />

will be finalised before July 1.<br />
The 2018-2028 Long Term<br />
Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
rates increase over <strong>10</strong> years.<br />
Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />

THE DOPE smokers who<br />
have been parking up on a<br />
shingle road in Rolleston will<br />
no doubt now be looking for<br />
a quiet spot somewhere else<br />
(see page 1).<br />
That’s because the police have<br />
moved to crack down on cannabis<br />
smokers tucking themselves<br />
away on Edwards Rd.<br />
About 20 people have<br />
been caught in recent weeks.<br />
Police have done the reasonable<br />
thing and given them<br />
a warning, and confiscated<br />
and destroyed the green stuff<br />
and the equipment used to<br />
smoke it.<br />
Our front page article and<br />
the bush telegraph will probably<br />
ensure dope smoking<br />
on Edwards Rd will now<br />
disappear.<br />
It’ll just happen somewhere<br />
else.<br />
But the real message<br />
is there: The police are<br />
watching and waiting.<br />

ECan receives over<br />
600 mine expansion submissions<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
OPPOSITION continues to<br />
mount against the proposed<br />
expansion of a coal mine in the<br />
Malvern Hills.<br />
Bathurst Coal Ltd has applied<br />
to expand its opencast coal<br />
mine, known as Canterbury<br />
Coal Mine, at Bush Gully Rd,<br />
near Coalgate,<br />
by 18ha.<br />
An Environment<br />
Canterbury<br />
spokeswoman<br />
said<br />
they are not yet<br />
Siana Fitzjohn<br />
able to confirm<br />
exact numbers<br />
of submissions<br />
COMMUNITY: The number of public submissions on the<br />
Canterbury Coal Mine expansion plan has now reached about<br />
630 with a hearing date yet to be set. <br />
they have received but it is about<br />
630.<br />
The majority of the submissions<br />
are opposing the expansion.<br />
The ECan spokeswoman said<br />
a date for a hearing is yet to be<br />
set but it is required to be held<br />
within 75 days of the close of<br />
submissions meaning it will be<br />
no later than September 2.<br />
Siana Fitzjohn, a member of<br />
the climate group Extinction<br />
Rebellion, who is against the<br />
expansion, said the high number<br />
of submissions is encouraging.<br />
“It is awesome because it<br />
shows that people are actively<br />
wanting to participate in democracy<br />
and have a say in<br />
what happens to the land and<br />
climate,” she said.<br />
Ms Fitzjohn said it shows how<br />
many people oppose the expansion<br />
of the coal mine.<br />
A fortnight ago, <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
comedy night<br />
reported that the number of<br />
submissions was about 500.<br />
ECan and the district council<br />
received an application to<br />
increase the opencast coal mine<br />
earlier this year.<br />
The site is currently 52ha, of<br />
which 38ha is mined, and owner<br />
Bathurst Coal is seeking retrospective<br />
land use consent for<br />
existing and future earthworks.<br />
Production at the site is currently<br />
95,000 tonnes of coal per<br />
annum, which is sold for industrial<br />
and commercial use.<br />
Forest and Bird is one of the<br />
organisations opposing the<br />
expansion.<br />
A spokeswoman said it was<br />
concerned about the ecological<br />
and environmental impacts.<br />
“Our concerns are around<br />
freshwater contamination in<br />
the already stressed <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Waikirikiri catchment, and the<br />
loss of native species and habitat,<br />
especially wetlands.<br />
“We are not surprised at the<br />
number of submissions. We<br />
have had concerns about the<br />
expansion of Bathurst’s Malvern<br />
Hills coal mine for some time,’’<br />
she said.<br />

District Plan<br />
review may<br />
cost less<br />
than expected<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE REVIEW of the District<br />
Plan may no longer go $400,000<br />
over budget.<br />
The plan is essentially the<br />
district’s rule book on how land<br />
can be used and developed.<br />
Said a district council report:<br />
“In order to deliver the proposed<br />
plan for public notification in<br />
mid-late <strong>2020</strong>, a projected budget<br />
exceedance of approximately<br />
$400,000 was expected for the<br />
financial year 2019/20.<br />
“This could possibly be less<br />
and maybe more in the order of<br />
$200,000,” it said.<br />
The budget for the project<br />
for the 2019/20 financial year is<br />
$840,000 and $823,269 has been<br />
spent as at April 30.<br />
In the report, it said the increase<br />
in cost is due to additional<br />
workstreams being undertaken.<br />
“These were not anticipated<br />
to be completed as part of the<br />
review but were directed to be<br />
undertaken by the District Plan<br />
committee. This has resulted in<br />
additional cost than what was<br />
originally planned for, in the order<br />
of $80-<strong>10</strong>0k for this 2019/20<br />
financial year alone.”<br />
More flood work under way<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
UPGRADES TO a major<br />
Hororata drain to help with<br />
flood protection are under way.<br />
Work on improvements to<br />
the Hawkins Rd drain has<br />
begun with new culverts being<br />
installed to allow for an increase<br />
in capacity of the drain.<br />
An initial assessment has also<br />
been completed regarding the<br />
suitability of using old gravel pits<br />
as a location to channel excess<br />
stormwater.<br />
Robby Wilson who lives in<br />
Hororata says his property on<br />
Downs Rd floods severely.<br />
He said the Hawkins Rd<br />
drain project is like placing an<br />
ambulance at the bottom of a<br />
cliff.<br />
“THey should be looking at<br />
how to stop the water from<br />
getting into the township rather<br />
than dealing with it once it’s<br />
here.”<br />
Mr Wilson says he and other<br />
residents plan on meeting with<br />
district councillors to discuss<br />
what can be done.<br />
More than $400,000 of flood<br />
protection works are planned for<br />
Hororata this year.<br />
THere have been a number of<br />
notable flooding events in the<br />
township in recent years, two in<br />
2018 and two last year.<br />
THe town’s average annual<br />
rainfall is about 790mm/year<br />
and flooding generally occurs<br />
during prolonged rain events<br />
over multiple days.<br />
THe proposed work<br />
plan includes a number of<br />

UPGRADE: Work<br />
to protect flooding<br />
at properties in<br />
Hororata, such as<br />
this one on Downs<br />
Rd, is progressing<br />
with Hawkins Rd<br />
drain improvements. <br />
projects aimed at reducing<br />
flooding.<br />
Happy Jacks Creek is to be<br />
cleared and floodgates are<br />
expected to be installed.<br />
A water level monitor will be<br />
installed at the roundabout on<br />
Bealey Rd and options are being<br />
discussed for a permanent onsite<br />
pump.<br />
THe drain on Bealey Rd will<br />
be reinstated to allow for an<br />
alternative discharge point for<br />
floodwater at the roundabout.<br />
THe work will begin after the<br />
diversion drain is complete.<br />
Extensive willow clearing is<br />
planned for Cordy’s Stream and<br />
the Hororata River as well as<br />
gravel removal to improve flood<br />
flows.<br />
Resource consent is needed<br />
for the project and the district<br />
council is continuing to work<br />
with Environment Canterbury to<br />
scope the work required.<br />
Over the last financial year,<br />
a number of projects have<br />
been completed to improve the<br />
stormwater system in Hororata.<br />
Drains have been cleaned on<br />
a number of channels and are<br />
now included in annual routine<br />
maintenance.<br />
A manhole has been installed<br />
at the roundabout in the<br />
township to allow for easy access<br />
to pump water when the flap gate<br />
shuts.<br />

Retirement village takes shape<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
WORK ON a new retirement village<br />
in Prebbleton is progressing with<br />
construction starting on its community<br />
centre.<br />
The large development, near Stationmasters<br />
Way, has also been given its<br />
official name which is the Bupa Ashford<br />
Retirement Village and Care Home.<br />
Head of property development Jamie<br />
Gibson said: “We’re currently working<br />
with our contractors to assess the impact<br />
of Covid-19 but<br />
early indications<br />
suggest stage one,<br />
comprising of 23<br />
villas, will be ready<br />
for sale by January<br />
next year,” he said.<br />
The retirement<br />
village will have<br />
<strong>10</strong>1 villas, a 56-bed<br />
Jamie Gibson<br />
care home and 16<br />
serviced apartments.<br />
“It’s been a fantastic feeling to begin<br />
construction again on a development<br />
that has had a lot of interest around it<br />
already.<br />
“We’re looking forward to providing<br />
quality living and care to residents from<br />
the Prebbleton community.”<br />
The development is the second retirement<br />
village planned for Prebbleton with<br />
Summerset also planning one at the old<br />
Meadow Mushrooms site.<br />
Data from the 2018 census shows the<br />

number of people in the district who are<br />
over 65-years-old increased by 36.2 per<br />
cent since 2013.<br />
The figures show 6975 residents are in<br />
the age group which makes up 11.3 per<br />
cent of the population.<br />
The total population of the Prebbleton<br />
township increased by 62.8 per cent between<br />
2013 and 2018 to 4515 residents.<br />
The retirement villages are not the<br />
only new developments in Prebbleton.<br />
The Fresh Choice supermarket on the<br />
corner of Tosswill Rd and Central Ave is<br />
expected to open soon.<br />
Woolworths New Zealand Ltd and<br />
Prebbleton Properties Ltd are behind the<br />
project,<br />
The supermarket will be 1300m2<br />
and will open 7am-<strong>10</strong>pm, seven days a<br />
week.<br />
Resource consent for<br />
another complex to<br />
be lodged this year<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
RESOURCE CONSENT for the Summerset<br />
retirement village planned for Prebbleton is<br />
expected to be lodged later this year.<br />
Said Summerset general manager development<br />
Aaron Smail: “Over the last six<br />
months, since settling the purchase of the<br />
Springs Rd land in December last year, we<br />
have been in discussions with the district<br />
council and gathering information to inform<br />
the village design,” he said.<br />
Mr Smail said for construction they typically<br />
employ local sub-contractors under the<br />
management of Summerset’s construction<br />
site managers, quality assurance advisors<br />
and site co-ordinators.<br />
A start date for construction won’t be<br />
known until closer to the time of all consents<br />
being granted.<br />
“The construction of a village of this size<br />
usually creates around 350 jobs and once<br />
the village is operational it would employ<br />
between 30 to 50 full-time equivalent staff<br />
across a number of roles including management<br />
roles, nurses, caregivers, property<br />
maintenance, and housekeeping,” he said.<br />
Summerset Prebbleton will be home<br />
to around 370 people, living in villas,<br />
townhouses and an aged care centre incorporating<br />
a memory care centre specially for<br />
people living with dementia.<br />
It will also include amenities such as a<br />
bowling green, movie theatre, café and<br />
swimming pool.<br />

Tina Bond<br />
Unearthing the secrets of Springston’s<br />
Tina Bond is the<br />
co-ordinator of the<br />
Springston Secret<br />
Garden that provides<br />
food and knowledge<br />
to the community. She<br />
speaks to Devon Bolger<br />
about her passion for<br />
gardening and love of<br />
the township<br />
How did you get started with<br />
the Springston Secret Garden?<br />
I have a son who is in year 8<br />
this year at Springston School.<br />
He was in year 7 when we moved<br />
here. The school has a lot to do<br />
with the garden, they have their<br />
garden club over there. Anyway,<br />
my son found out about it at<br />
school and then told us about<br />
it. We went along to a working<br />
bee one weekend and then Sue,<br />
who used to take care of those<br />
things, asked if I wanted to go<br />
along to a committee meeting.<br />
I just got more and more jobs<br />
until I ended up becoming the<br />
co-ordinator. I am a stay-athome<br />
mum anyway so I have a<br />
lot more time on my hands than<br />
most people.<br />
What is the purpose of the<br />
garden?<br />
The main purpose for us is to<br />
teach and to help the community<br />

to learn how to have their own<br />
garden. It also provides a space<br />
for families that don’t have room<br />
for their own garden at home to<br />
be able to grow food. People can<br />
come along and do a little bit of<br />
work and take home whatever<br />
they want. We also provide seeds<br />
and seedlings and what-not for<br />
people to be able to grow their<br />
own. We of course also do a lot<br />
with Springston School, we have<br />
the garden club and a few other<br />
clubs and competitions as well.<br />
They have their own little section<br />
of the garden so we do a lot to<br />
teach them.<br />
How can people get involved?<br />
We encourage people to come<br />
along whenever they can. We<br />
Cool store. Cool furniture.<br />
have a few different people that<br />
don’t like to use the weekends,<br />
so they don’t tend to come to the<br />
working bees which are typically<br />
on a Sunday morning. I have a<br />
couple of mums who bring their<br />
kids during the weekdays just for<br />
a bit of a potter, and for them to<br />
have a play. It is more about time<br />
away from home for them and it<br />

lets the kids have a runaround, it<br />
is not just a set thing. We really<br />
rely on the locals help out.<br />
Why do you think it is<br />
important to have a community<br />
garden?<br />
I think it is, especially with all<br />
of the Covid-19 stuff going on.<br />
When people were restricted<br />
and had to stay at home it was<br />
really amazing for us and our<br />
volunteers to be able to provide<br />
for their families. A lot of people<br />
were really struggling to get to<br />
the supermarket or get fresh<br />
fruit and vegetables delivered,<br />
I like that the garden teaches<br />
kids and their families to be able<br />
to provide for later. I got all of<br />
that from my grandparents and<br />
parents when I was little so it<br />
is nice to be able to have a safe<br />
environment for people to learn.<br />
Have there been any<br />
stand-out moments during<br />
your time with the garden?<br />
It would have to be working<br />
with the school kids, they are<br />
amazing. When they come in<br />
they run and are so excited and<br />
happy to be there. Everyone is<br />
just really keen to look and learn.<br />
It is really amazing to see how<br />
excited they get over the little<br />
changes in the garden and to see<br />
them really interested in their<br />
environment.<br />

Secret Garden<br />
How are the garden and<br />
supplies funded?<br />
We did a pollination party<br />
last year which was during<br />
the bee awareness month. We<br />
managed to raise enough funds<br />
there to buy all of the tools and<br />
equipment and seedlings that we<br />
needed for the season so now we<br />
are doing the autumn fundraiser.<br />
We are doing a raffle as well as a<br />
pruning demonstration so that<br />
has to make enough to get us<br />
through the next two seasons.<br />
Last year, we got a $<strong>10</strong>00 funding<br />
grant from the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Council which was amazing. A<br />
lot of the people who support<br />
the garden will supply seeds or<br />
excess plants. We do really rely<br />
on donations and community<br />
support. We have had some really<br />
great donations from different<br />
local businesses. Last year Mitre<br />
<strong>10</strong> gave us 40 pairs of kids gloves.<br />
Usually, we had about <strong>10</strong> pairs<br />
and they would have to have one<br />
glove each. It was like Christmas<br />
for the kids.<br />
How long have you been living<br />
in Springston?<br />
We live really close to the<br />
garden which is very handy. We<br />
moved here from Hokitika for<br />
my husband’s job about a year<br />
ago. The property we are renting<br />
here is a really big and beautiful<br />
property but there is no food<br />
garden here, it is all ornamental.<br />
The boys have always been able<br />
to go outside and graze and just<br />
find whatever they want to eat so<br />
it has been a change for us. The<br />
secret garden helps to ease my<br />
addiction though.<br />
What do you like about living<br />
in the township?<br />
I really love that it is a small<br />
town. During Covid-19, it was<br />
amazing to have so much space<br />
to ourselves and It is really nice<br />
and peaceful in general. It is just<br />
tranquil.<br />
What is your favourite plant<br />
to grow?<br />
I love Kale even though<br />
everyone thinks its gross. I have<br />
decked out the garden in kale<br />
because we have it in everything.<br />
Silverbeet is a favourite as well<br />
because it just grows everywhere<br />
and anywhere and will just keep<br />
going and going.<br />
Could you tell me about your<br />
family?<br />
I am married, my husband<br />
works in property development.<br />
We have two boys, a 12-year-old<br />
who is at Springston School and a<br />
two-year-old.<br />

Call to complete walkway<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE Whitecliffs community is<br />
pushing to have the completion<br />
of the walkway to Glentunnel<br />
brought forward.<br />
The Whitecliffs Township<br />
committee wrote a joint submission<br />
on the Annual Plan to ask<br />
that the project be finished by<br />
the end of the next financial year.<br />
Chairwoman Sue Wragg said<br />
the community has already<br />
been working on a section of the<br />
cycleway themselves.<br />
“When the district council<br />
said we couldn’t have the walkway<br />
until 2032 a couple of us got<br />
THE DOWN By The Liffey<br />
Gallery is opening again this<br />
weekend with a new exhibition.<br />
Titled Unlocked, the exhibition<br />
is a group show featuring<br />
work from all of the artists<br />
booked for the rest of the year<br />
who have had their exhibitions<br />
disrupted by the Covid-19<br />
pandemic.<br />
Over a dozen painters, potters<br />
and sculptors will be showing<br />
two or three pieces each<br />
in this eclectic and colourful<br />
exhibition, administrator Mike<br />
Glover said.<br />
“It has only been a matter<br />
our heads together and thought<br />
we can do this.<br />
“At the moment that section<br />
is almost complete to the old<br />
railway bridge,’ she said.<br />
Mrs Wragg said the committee<br />
is now asking the district<br />
council to bring forward the<br />
completion of the remaining<br />
sections of the cycleway.<br />
The committee is still accepting<br />
donations for the part of the<br />
cycleway they have undertaken<br />
to cover materials and engineering<br />
work.<br />

Mr Glover said a few of the<br />

Bridget’s dedication earns award<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
COMPLETING MORE than<br />
250 hours of community service<br />
was expected to take about five<br />
years, but Prebbleton resident<br />
Bridget Maw achieved just that<br />
in a matter of weeks.<br />
Because of her dedication, the<br />
year 12 Rangi Ruru Girls’ School<br />
student recently received a silver<br />
Student Volunteer Army award<br />
once she reached the milestone.<br />
“I was super excited, and it was<br />
such a great feeling knowing I<br />
was using my time to help other<br />
people in some way,” she said.<br />
The Covid-19 pandemic originally<br />
put her volunteering efforts<br />
to a halt.<br />
Prior to the lockdown, she had<br />
done about 20 hours of service;<br />
face painting at the children’s<br />
day event in New Brighton and<br />
watering native trees<br />
at Drayton Park, Mt Pleasant.<br />
She did not let the limitations<br />
of lockdown get her down and<br />
instead used the time to gather<br />
materials around the house to<br />
knit a blanket which was later<br />
donated to the Red Cross.<br />
“The idea came about when<br />
someone from the boarding<br />
house at school suggested<br />
knitting squares to be stitched<br />
together later as a blanket.<br />
“But after I knitted the first few<br />
squares, I decided to keep going<br />
and ended up making a whole<br />
blanket myself.<br />
“I was knitting <strong>10</strong> hours a day<br />
over three weeks and towards<br />
the end of lockdown I was doing<br />
about 11 hours.”<br />
When Bridget was not volunteering,<br />
she focused her energy<br />
on academics as she was undertaking<br />
triple science at school.<br />
Beyond high school, she<br />
wanted to study vet science,<br />
engineering or health sciences<br />
and planned to continue her<br />
charitable efforts moving<br />
forward.<br />
Nurse Maude was an organisation<br />
she held close to her heart<br />
and she hoped to support them<br />
more in the future.<br />
“When I was nine-years-old,<br />
SERVICE:<br />
Prebbleton<br />
resident Bridget<br />
Maw knitted a<br />
blanket over<br />
three weeks<br />
during lockdown<br />
that was donated<br />
to the Red Cross. <br />
my dad died of cancer and he<br />
received hospice care there and<br />
they gave my family so much<br />
support,” Bridget said.<br />
It was because of this that<br />
sparked her passion for volunteering<br />
at various organisations,<br />
knowing the impact it can have<br />
when someone took the time out<br />
of their day to help.<br />
She encouraged young people,<br />
now more than ever, to get<br />
involved with a cause or charity<br />
they were willing to back.<br />
Said Bridget: “It’s such a good<br />
feeling to see the impact you’re<br />
having on the community,<br />
whether it’s creating something<br />
or volunteering your time.<br />
“You never know when<br />
you’re the one who will need<br />
help, especially now during the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic.”<br />
Converted city girl comes full circle<br />
• By David Hill<br />
THE LAST thing Tai Tapu<br />
resident Lucy McPherson expected<br />
when she left school was to be<br />
working in the arable sector.<br />
The Foundation for Arable<br />
Research communications and<br />
events co-ordinator was brought<br />
up on a sheep and cropping farm<br />
near Leeston.<br />
‘‘I had big plans of doing architecture<br />
and interior design at<br />
school, but I made a last-minute<br />
decision to do law and commerce<br />
at Victoria University, as<br />
I thought law might have better<br />
job prospects than architecture.”<br />
But after one year, Ms McPherson<br />
realised law was not for her,<br />
so she switched to a communications<br />
degree at Massey<br />
University’s Wellington<br />
campus.<br />
‘‘I was very much a<br />
converted city girl, but<br />
Wellington just didn’t<br />
do it for me, and I just<br />
couldn’t picture myself<br />
working for a big law<br />
firm in Auckland. For<br />
some reason I hadn’t<br />
thought of that before I<br />
got to university.”<br />
Her rural background meant<br />
she had no difficulty finding<br />
‘Famous for their roasts!’<br />

summer jobs working on the<br />
land and the greater flexibility of<br />
the Massey University structure<br />
allowed her to complete<br />
her final year<br />
studying from home,<br />
back in Canterbury.<br />
‘‘I realised that<br />
while I was in a<br />
processing job, there<br />
were opportunities<br />
for marketing and<br />
communication jobs<br />
in the rural sector,<br />
and you didn’t necessarily<br />
have to work in the city.”<br />

career after she graduated, Ms<br />

McPherson packed up and went<br />
on her big OE.<br />
While overseas, a job came up<br />
at FAR, so she applied and had an<br />
interview via Skype from Italy.<br />
Ms McPherson returned home<br />
four days later and started work<br />
at FAR.<br />
Three years on, she is now living<br />
at Tai Tapu with her partner<br />
on a sheep and beef property,<br />
just across Te Waihora Lake<br />
Ellesmere from the farm where<br />
she grew up.<br />
‘‘I have come a full 360 degrees.<br />
Somehow I have ended up<br />
back where I started,” she joked.<br />

ROLLESTON OFFICE<br />
78 Rolleston Drive, Rolleston<br />
from her experience is to ‘‘go<br />
with your gut,” rather than following<br />
the direction laid down<br />
by others.<br />
‘‘Agriculture wasn’t a subject at<br />
school. I was one of 25 girls who<br />
petitioned to have an agriculture<br />
class and our young farmers club<br />
at school flopped because there<br />
wasn’t support from the hierarchy<br />
because they didn’t see it as something<br />
that fit with their culture.<br />
‘‘So we all went off to study<br />
subjects like law or commerce,<br />
because that was what you did.<br />
But most of us have ended in<br />
agriculture or food sector jobs.”<br />

Your Local Views<br />
John Leslie responds to the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> article on the<br />
expansion of the Bathurst<br />
coal mine in the Malvern<br />
Hills<br />
I support the mine. It supports<br />
employment for locals, these<br />
earnings are spent locally. If the<br />
coal is not produced here it will<br />
be produced on the West Coast/<br />
Southland/overseas, this will<br />
contribute to higher running<br />
costs for buyers, more transport<br />
harming the environment.<br />
Unfortunately, the dairy factories,<br />
schools and hospitals that<br />
use coal are not able to change<br />
to another source at the flick of<br />
the switch, perhaps the objectors<br />
should allow more hydro lakes/<br />
storage to be constructed.<br />
If the coal doesn’t come from<br />
New Zealand it will be imported.<br />
This will not help New Zealand<br />
in the current crisis, if anything<br />
more coal should be mined and<br />
more exported. This would increase<br />
Government tax take and<br />
help pay off the country’s debt,<br />
provide more employment.<br />
David Fletcher responds<br />
to the revised plans for<br />
the proposed Countdown<br />
supermarket in Lincoln<br />
The district council is conspicuous<br />
by its lack of district<br />
and community development<br />
planning.<br />
The door is open for developers<br />
to drive the development of<br />
Lincoln in whatever direction<br />
best suits their needs.<br />
Sadly, we are losing productive<br />
land to residential and<br />
commercial development that<br />
future generations may well<br />
regret given the forecast demand<br />
for food.<br />
The very least the district<br />
council must do is hold the developer<br />
to account regarding this<br />
development.<br />
The downstream effects of this<br />
development will only become<br />
apparent over time and by then<br />
it will be ratepayers footing<br />
the costs of infrastructure and<br />
accelerated maintenance costs.<br />
If the artist’s impression is at<br />
all representative of this development,<br />
it will be an eyesore.<br />
A bog-standard Woolworths<br />
design.<br />
The community deserves better<br />
than a ‘function over form’<br />
design.<br />
Realistically the community<br />
has very little say in what<br />
happens and unfortunately,<br />
our district council lacks the<br />
community connection to<br />
represent us.<br />

Working bee helps restore Lincoln reserve<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
VOLUNTEERS CAME together<br />
at Lincoln’s Mahoe Reserve on<br />
Sunday in a bid to restore the<br />
area.<br />
Lincoln Envirotown Trust<br />
member Sue Jarvis said about 15<br />
people turned out for the planting<br />
day.<br />
“It went really well. We had<br />
the usual people plus some new<br />
people and some children.<br />
“Lots of hard-workers got lots<br />
of weeding done, which is a big<br />
issue because of weed spread<br />
from other places but also because<br />
the reserve was an illegal<br />
rubbish dump for many years<br />
and people dumped their garden<br />
waste,” she said.<br />
The Mahoe Reserve project<br />
was started in 2002 by Ms Jarvis<br />
and year 9 students at Lincoln<br />
High School.<br />
“Planting began in 2003 and<br />
has continued annually by<br />
students, staff, and Lincoln community<br />
members.<br />
“The aim is to restore to the<br />
native woodland that was originally<br />
in the Lincoln area.”<br />
The project is now overseen by<br />
the Mahoe management committee<br />
which consists of community<br />
members and is supported<br />
by volunteers and the district<br />
council.<br />
Included in the group are<br />
chairwoman Sue Jarvis, Sue Allan,<br />
Ralph Scott, Andrew Hammond,<br />
Randi Hutchinson, Mike<br />
Bowie and Lindsay Barker.<br />
Ms Jarvis said they will continue<br />
to work on the restoration of<br />
Mahoe Reserve and have planting<br />
days planned for the future.<br />
The Lincoln Envirotown Trust<br />
is a charitable trust dedicated<br />
to fostering sustainable<br />
communities in the district.<br />
The group’s aim is to educate,<br />
support, research and promote<br />
sustainability, by working<br />
with the community and<br />
in partnership with other<br />
organisations.<br />
•The next planting day will<br />
be held on Sunday, July 5,<br />
starting at 2pm. Contact Sue<br />
Jarvis on sue.jarvis@orcon.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />
(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a<br />
new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to<br />
raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found at<br />

Sap-sucking psyllid<br />
damages leaves<br />
HAVE YOU ever parked<br />
your car under a tree only<br />
to find it later covered with<br />
sticky droplets?<br />
Chances are there are<br />
insects feeding on the tree<br />
and excreting honeydew<br />
onto your car.<br />
One group of insects<br />
that commonly excrete<br />
honeydew are psyllids or<br />
jumping plant louse; sapsucking<br />
insects that can<br />
live in large numbers of<br />
host plants.<br />
A New Zealand native<br />
species that lives exclusively<br />
on Pittosporum species is<br />
the Pittosporum psyllid<br />
Trioza vitreoradiata.<br />
This psyllid species<br />
has inadvertently been<br />
introduced to England,<br />
Ireland and France.<br />
Adults are winged,<br />
yellow-green to black in<br />
colour and 3-4mm long.<br />
Although resembling<br />
aphids, the psyllids lack<br />
the rear end ‘twin exhaust<br />
pipe-like’ appendages<br />
called cornicles and don’t<br />
form colonies like aphids.<br />
Overwintering adult<br />
females lay on average 190<br />
eggs on the underside of<br />
new leaves in spring.<br />
The tapered eggs are<br />
attached to the leaf on a<br />
short stalk, are pale cream<br />
and develop to pale orange<br />
colour before hatching 14<br />
days after oviposition.<br />
Nymphs are flat ovalshaped,<br />
scale-like insects<br />
and orange-brown in<br />
colour.<br />
The sap-sucking by<br />
the Pittosporum psyllid<br />
stimulate the plant to<br />
make characteristic leaf<br />
bumps or blisters.<br />
The psyllids have<br />
mouthparts called stylets<br />
consisting of two tubes<br />
that are inserted into the<br />
leaves. Saliva is injected<br />
through one of the tubes<br />
into the leaf while the<br />
second tube sucks the<br />
plant juices into the insect.<br />
Excess water, sugar and<br />
white wax is excreted as<br />
honeydew by the psyllids,<br />
which can make a mess of<br />
leaves and other surfaces<br />
below.<br />
The honeydew is often<br />
utilised by sooty mould<br />
giving a dirty black<br />
appearance.<br />
Fortunately a good<br />
number of ladybird,<br />
lacewing and parasitoid<br />
wasp natural enemies<br />
are on hand to keep the<br />
psyllid populations in<br />
check.<br />

Opportunities on offer<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong> youth<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council is on the lookout for great ideas to support young people in the district.<br />
Applications are open for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Project Fund, run by the Youth Council to support groups<br />
and individuals with events or activities that support the wellbeing of youth in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Youth Council Chair Liv Duder says the fund offers opportunities young people might not<br />
otherwise get, and was an important part of the Youth Council’s role in being there to support all<br />
young people in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Funds last year supported a day for Māori youth in district along with mental health and<br />
wellbeing initiatives.<br />
“I look forward to seeing the applications every year and hearing what people are passionate<br />
about,” says Liv. “We’re here to support youth and make this a more enjoyable place to hang out<br />
and live outside of school. It’s cool to see what people want to do and how we can help them<br />
achieve it.”<br />
Seeing the range of things that were put forward for funding also helped the Youth Council get an<br />
idea of needs in the district and opportunities where they could support young people, she says.<br />
It also helps tackle some serious issues close to the Youth Council’s heart she says. That included<br />
the grant they were able to give last year to The Parenting Place charity’s Attitude team to run<br />
life-skills and mental health presentations at Darfield High School, Ellesmere College, and Lincoln<br />
High School, reaching 2300 students.<br />
“The talk we helped to fund was about mental health and we wanted to make sure that youth<br />
were able to participate because it was a massive issue at the time, and still is. The Attitude team<br />
interact really well with young people and give the topics a lighter feel while still discussing the<br />
more serious issues.”<br />
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<br />
deliver something great for the community, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council are keen to hear from you.<br />
For criteria and to apply visit selwyn.govt.nz/community/youth-council or email youth.council@<br />

Aquatic Centre pools re-open this week<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre will have all its pools re-opened this week following maintenance work.<br />
The leisure pool, learn to swim and hydrotherapy pools were all closed to allow maintenance work to<br />
take place during Alert Level 3 and with the reduced numbers at the pool under Level 2.<br />
The work was planned as part of the aquatic centre expansion project and doing under Alert Level 3<br />
conditions meant a planned shutdown of the pools later in the year won’t be required.<br />
The learn to swim and hydrotherapy pools have already reopened, along with lane swimming and on<br />
Monday the centre was able to begin refilling the leisure pool. Refilling, heating and ensuring the pool<br />
is ready for use takes a few days, but the pool should be open to the public again today (Wednesday<br />
<strong>10</strong> <strong>June</strong>).<br />
Restrictions on the number of people allowed at the<br />
Aquatic Centre remain while Level 2 is in place, but may<br />
change with changing guidelines from the Ministry of<br />
Health. Keep an eye on the Council website or our new<br />
COVID-19 updates app, which you can find and download<br />
to your smartphone or tablet at covid-19.selwyn.govt.nz.<br />
Work is also continuing on Te Ara Ātea and the Rolleston<br />
Town Centre infrastructure project, following the reopening<br />
of Tennyson Street from Rolleston Drive to Markham Way.<br />
The framing for Te Ara Ātea has begun, with the framing<br />
for the left hand side of the building largely complete.<br />
Work is continuing to install the roof frame and put up the<br />
external walls at the Foster Park Indoor Courts and on the<br />
foundations for the Health Hub.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Open – A slice of France<br />
in West Melton<br />
As part of our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Open campaign we’re profiling some of the<br />
many excellent businesses local to you. You can find these businesses<br />
on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory<br />
This week we talk to Jean-Francois Martinez from Les Délices<br />
Bakery and Patisserie in West Melton.<br />
For over three years Jean-Francois and Kara Martinez have been<br />
serving up a slice of France in West Melton.<br />
It was baking that brought together Jean-Francois, from Brittany in<br />
north-west France, and Kara, from the Chatham Islands.<br />
The couple met while working at a French bakery in Ireland, Jean-<br />
Francois says.<br />
“I followed her back home and it’s been 17 years. I love New<br />
Zealand. It’s awesome. I love the lifestyle and the people.”<br />
Baking has remained at the heart of their relationship after they<br />
settled in Templeton. After a decade of visiting West Melton to sell<br />
their bread at the markets, the couple were excited a few years ago<br />
to seize the chance of setting up their own bakery in the township.<br />
Jean-Francois, a trained bread baker, creates the bakery's artisan<br />
breads and Kara creates the patisseries, Danish pastries and other<br />
sweet treats Les Délices serves up.<br />
Jean-Francois has added some typical Kiwi fare to his baking,<br />
getting into making Kiwi pies – though he refuses to follow the Kiwi<br />
style of using margarine and proudly sticks to his French training of<br />
only ever using butter in his pastry.<br />
Community is the heart of the bakery, Jean-Francois says and they<br />
source as many of their ingredients as possible locally.<br />
“The flour we use is grown and milled in Canterbury and we only<br />
use spray-free flour. We use milk sourced here in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and freerange<br />
eggs from West Melton.”<br />
In return, he says West Melton has been good to them.<br />
“We have had such awesome support, especially during COVID-19.<br />
In level four we did home deliveries of bread and pastries and<br />
people really got behind us. We are really proud of how our team<br />
has adapted to the restrictions with each level.<br />
We do quite a bit of sponsorship of schools and sports teams, it’s<br />
a good way to give back. People support us and we like to support<br />
local charities where we can”.<br />

Children staying active on their way to school<br />
Schools, parents and children around the district have been taking up the active transport challenge,<br />
despite disruptions to this year’s Active Autumn from COVID-19.<br />
The annual campaign run by the Council’s Road Safety Team, was due to run in May encouraging<br />
children to get walking, scooting or biking to school. Despite the campaign not being able to go ahead<br />
as planned, Council Road Safety Coordinator Steph Hautler says it’s been awesome to see so many<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> learners using Active Transport to get back into their school routine after lock down.<br />
“The benefits of Active Transport are huge for all of us both mentally and physically, which many of us<br />
have recently had time to discover over the lockdown period. Studies have also shown that physical<br />
activity before school not only boosts mental health but helps children concentrate for longer. Getting<br />
out walking, scooting or biking with your child reduces congestion, saves you money and increases<br />
your child’s road safety awareness.”<br />
Parents are also encouraged to take part, by getting<br />
active and by talking with childen about road safety,<br />
she says.<br />
“Talk your child through the process of crossing the<br />
road and how to wait for a safe gap between cars<br />
before crossing.”<br />
Drivers are also encouraged to take extra care behind<br />
the wheel. With winter setting in and less hours of<br />
daylight it’s important for drivers to keep an eye out for<br />
children before and after school, especially with poor<br />
visibility in fog or sunstrike from low winter sun.<br />
School travel safety tips:<br />
· Be bright be seen, ask your school for a safety vest.<br />
· Tackle the routes together talking about sneaky<br />
driveways and blind corners.<br />
· Get out and active together to reduce the chaos at the<br />
school gate.<br />
· Wear your helmets, this goes for caregivers too, young<br />
people are watching you!<br />
Road safety resources for parents and children are<br />
available from <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council by emailing<br />
stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phoning 347 2705.<br />

Consent inspections go virtual<br />
When the COVID-19 restrictions made going on-site difficult and led<br />
to a mounting load of inspections, the Council’s inspections team<br />
needed to think differently and went virtual.<br />
With on-site inspections that had been booked unable to be<br />
carried out under Level 4 and restrictions coming in under Level<br />
3 the Council set up a virtual inspection option for drainage, solid<br />
fuel heaters and interior dwelling alterations, as well as some<br />
other inspections on a case by case basis, Council Building Team<br />
Operations Leader Jenny Lilley says.<br />
The virtual inspections were carried out via a video call on a mobile<br />
phone or over Zoom with the inspector directing on what they<br />
needed to see. The Council also provided a guide on the paperwork<br />
required by the person applying for the consent which is available<br />
on the Council website.<br />
Having the digital inspections saved time for everyone, allowed staff<br />
who couldn’t do onsite inspections at Level 3 to be involved and<br />
keep working and proved popular with applicants, she says. In total<br />
the team completed over 80 virtual inspections. The majority of the<br />
virtual inspections were carried out during Level 3.<br />
The Council’s AlphaOne Builders App is back on and the team<br />
is now operating largely as they had before lockdown, Mrs Lilley<br />
says. However, the experiment with virtual inspections had been a<br />
good one.<br />
“We’re going to keep them open as an an option – they’re a useful<br />
tool to have.”<br />
The team has been extremely busy since the lockdown ended,<br />
regularly at full capacity and completing over <strong>10</strong>0 inspections in a<br />
day last week, she says.<br />

Lincoln comedy festival back in action<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
AWARD-WINNING Irish<br />
comedian Alan McElroy will<br />
return to this year’s comedy<br />
festival in Lincoln.<br />
It is the fifth year of the Live in<br />
Lincoln event, which will be held<br />
on Saturday, October 17, with last<br />
year’s MC McElroy performing his<br />
own set.<br />
Comedian<br />
Ben Hurley,<br />
who is best<br />
known for his<br />
work on TV3’s<br />
topical comedy<br />
panel show 7<br />
Days, will take<br />
David Parlane over MC duties<br />
this year.<br />
Musical duo Fan Brigade and<br />
comedian magician Jarred Fell<br />
will also perform.<br />
Festival organiser David<br />
Parlane said it has been a huge<br />
relief to confirm the show is still<br />
going ahead.<br />
“The industry has done it<br />
tough, we were one of the first<br />
ones to go, events were being<br />
cancelled left right and centre.<br />
“It is a big relief to be able to<br />
go to the performers and staff to<br />
say we have some work for you,’<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Parlane said it is great to be<br />
celebrating the fifth anniversary<br />

Ransley takes out first ARG eSport Cup<br />
PREBBLETON’S Jaden Ransley<br />
has been awarded the ARG<br />
eSport Cup after a thrilling two<br />
hour touring car endurance race<br />
at Mount Panorama, Bathurst.<br />
Ransley and Supercars star<br />
Andre Heimgartner finished<br />
fourth in the race, edging<br />
season-long leader Harley Haber<br />
by just seven points after Haber<br />
and team-mate Fawzan El-Nabi<br />
had a night they’d rather forget.<br />
After two hours of entertaining<br />
racing, it was wildcard entrants<br />
Josh Files and Cooper Webster<br />
who emerged on top in a thrilling<br />
finish, edging out the GRM entry<br />
of Dylan O’Keeffe and team-mate<br />
Jackson Souslin-Harlow.<br />
The first leg of the race was<br />
dominated by title rival protagonists<br />
Haber and Ash Sutton,<br />
while polesitter Dylan O’Keefe<br />
and Files ran not far behind in<br />
the top five.<br />
A safety car around the midrace<br />
mark shook up the order at<br />
the front, leaving Brett Holdsworth<br />
leading from Will Brown,<br />
Souslin-Harlow, and Webster,<br />
who had taken over from Files.<br />
At the restart, Webster quickly<br />
dispatched Souslin-Harlow, took<br />
advantage of Brown’s troubles<br />
to move up to second, and then<br />
passed Holdsworth to assume<br />
the lead.<br />
The order at the front remained<br />
the same until a second<br />
safety car was deployed later in<br />
the race, setting up a 18min dash<br />

to the flag.<br />
Webster and Souslin-Harlow<br />
traded positions multiple times<br />
as they checked out from the rest<br />
of the field.<br />
At Hell Corner on the final lap,<br />
Webster made a successful lunge<br />
on Souslin-Harlow and immediately<br />
built a buffer, doing just<br />
enough to secure victory.<br />
Souslin-Harlow finished<br />
0.88sec behind, while Scott<br />
McLaughlin, paired with Ben<br />
McMellan, pulled off a last-lap<br />
move on Supercars rival Heimgartner<br />
to steal the final spot on<br />
the podium.<br />
Fourth place, however, was<br />
enough for Heimgartner’s teammate<br />
Ransley to wrap up the<br />
ARG eSport title on a day his<br />
title rivals Haber and Sutton<br />
faltered.<br />
Haber was hit with a drive<br />
through penalty early on in the<br />
race and his team-mate El-Nabi<br />
was unlucky when Michael Clemente<br />
spun in front of him at<br />
Skyline Corner. El-Nabi made a<br />
dangerous move tryng to get back<br />
into the race, causing more carnage<br />
and sealing Haber’s title fate.<br />
Sutton led the race early on but<br />
was shuffled down the order at<br />
the first pitstop, and his teammate<br />
Jake Blackhall was later<br />
punted off the track. The two<br />
eventually retired from the race.<br />
Meanwhile, Aaron Seton and<br />
Ed Williams finished fifth ahead<br />
of Thomas Randle and Lochie<br />
Hughes, while real-life Supercars<br />
enduro team-mates Shane van<br />
Gisbergen and Garth Tander<br />
were classified seventh after running<br />
as high as third in the final<br />
safety car period.<br />

Isolation heightens focus<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
LIKE MANY OF you, I took part in<br />
a number of Zoom meetings during<br />
lockdown, including wine tastings.<br />
The latter involved far more intellectual<br />
rigour than I had imagined — using one’s<br />
senses to explain a wine to others (who<br />
do not have the wine in front of them) is<br />
surprisingly difficult, yet heightens the<br />
focus on the wine in your glass.<br />
For whatever reason, I haven’t tackled<br />
many reds in this column recently, so<br />
it seemed appropriate to explore a few<br />
Central Otago pinot noirs.<br />

Central Otago<br />
Pinot Noir<br />
Price: $36<br />
Rating:<br />
Excellent to<br />
outstanding<br />
Fascinating<br />
nose, humus, a wild and feral quality; delicious<br />
purity of fruit.<br />
Silky and textural entry with a little<br />
prickle on the tongue, showcasing loganberry,<br />
plum and wood smoke with nice<br />
chewiness from the tannins.<br />
Time adds dark chocolate and charcuterie<br />
to the brightness and vivacity, while the<br />
tannins are very fine.<br />
Rather delicious. No sulphur<br />
added.<br />

Alexandra<br />
Pinot Noir<br />
Price: $45<br />
Rating: Very<br />
good<br />
A little shy at<br />
first, building a<br />
quietly alluring perfume.<br />
There’s richness yet a sense of coolness<br />
as well, the fruit mingling with earth and<br />
wild herb notes; a touch of tea leaf/pencil<br />
lead too.<br />
A juiciness to the palate with a tangy<br />
element framing the finish as the tannic<br />
structure quietly builds. Time in bottle<br />
should meld this together nicely.<br />

Pinot Noir<br />
Price: $29.95<br />

Smoke, a little funky wildness, wild herbs<br />
and red fruits in support.<br />
Red fruits and raspberry lead the palate,<br />
with hints of Christmas fruit mix and oak<br />
notes.<br />
There’s fruit sweetness her, the tannins<br />
nicely melded into the wine and a fresh lift<br />
on the spicy close. In the slot and drinking<br />
nicely now. Well priced.<br />

a toffee note with aeration.<br />
Youthfully crunchy and juicy, highlighting<br />
cherry and blackberry, along with a<br />
little herbal backdrop, moving to spice on<br />
the close. Good flavour intensity and while<br />
this shows its youthful brashness, there is<br />
drinkability too.<br />

Price: $30<br />
Rating:<br />

A deeper, darker register to the nose,<br />
raspberry, dark berries, wood smoke, oak<br />
nuances; quite engaging.<br />
The palate brings out its youthful side,<br />
raspberry and oak spices joined by a lavender-like<br />
wild herb influence with bright<br />
acidity and growing, chewy tannins closing<br />
on a smoky note. Youthful puppy fat here,<br />
but a lot of ingredient for the price.<br />

Price: $49.99<br />
Rating:<br />
Excellent to<br />

Fragrant and floral nose of mixed berries,<br />
spice and perfumed oak.<br />
Textural entry, berryfruit, wild herbs and<br />
spices are framed by a delightfully lively<br />
palate with fine-grained tannins in<br />
support. Supple, nicely integrated already,<br />
there’s lightness and airiness to this; depth<br />
of flavour without weight, as cherry fruit<br />
and stony minerality grows.<br />

price. So here’s a couple<br />
of recipes featuring two<br />
hearty favourites - leeks<br />
and yams<br />
Kale, ricotta and leek<br />
lasagne<br />
4 servings<br />
Ingredients<br />
300g kale, woody stems removed<br />
and leaves chopped<br />
1 tbsp olive oil<br />
3 leeks, trimmed (about 400g),<br />
halved lengthways, washed and<br />
chopped<br />
1 clove garlic, crushed<br />
350g ricotta<br />
150ml vegetable stock<br />
4 tbsp fresh pesto<br />
250g fresh lasagne, about 8<br />
sheets<br />
30g parmesan (or veggie alternative),<br />
finely grated<br />
Directions<br />
Heat the oven to 200 deg C<br />
(180 deg C fan). Drop the kale in<br />
boiling salted water, bring back<br />
to a simmer then cook for 5min.<br />
Drain really well.<br />
Heat the olive oil in a frying<br />
pan and add the leeks with a good<br />
pinch of salt. Cook for 8-<strong>10</strong>min<br />
or until really soft.<br />
Add the garlic to the leeks and<br />
cook for 2min. Keep 4 tbsp of<br />
the ricotta aside then stir the rest<br />
into the leeks with the kale. Mix<br />
everything well then add enough<br />
vegetable stock to make it a little<br />
saucy but not watery. Take off the<br />
heat.<br />
Put ¼ of the sauce in the<br />
bottom of an oiled baking dish<br />
approximately 18 x 25cm.<br />
Top with 1 tbsp pesto then two<br />
sheets of lasagne. Repeat three<br />
times, ending with lasagne.<br />
Mix the rest of the ricotta with<br />
another splash of vegetable stock<br />
and spread over the top layer.<br />
Scatter over the parmesan and<br />
bake for 20min until golden and<br />
bubbling.<br />

Gardening<br />
Don’t let that lockdown work disappear<br />
NOW IT’S officially winter, don’t<br />
abandon those lovely gardens that<br />
enjoyed your attention during<br />
lockdown.<br />
Keep reaping the benefits of<br />
your hard work through a few<br />
monthly tasks.<br />
This month’s jobs include pruning<br />
of pip, stone fruit and roses,<br />
harvesting of winter vegetables<br />
and planting new strawberry<br />
plants, shrubs and trees, as well as<br />
general maintenance.<br />
Vegetable patch<br />
Continue planting seedlings<br />
of vegetables that you want to<br />
harvest in late winter/early spring.<br />
Seeds of broad beans, onions,<br />
peas, radish and spinach can still<br />
be sown. Prepare the soil thoroughly<br />
with the addition of fresh<br />
compost before planting.<br />
<strong>June</strong> is the month for dividing<br />
old rhubarb plants and this<br />
should be done every three to<br />
four years. Plant new divisions<br />
600mm apart. Rhubarb thrives<br />
in a ‘rich’ soil ie fresh compost<br />
enriched with blood and bone.<br />
Winter flowering annuals<br />
Winter flowering annuals<br />
planted in autumn should be in in<br />
full flower. They include alyssum,<br />
calendulas, aurelia, nemesias,<br />
pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragons,<br />
stock and sweet peas.<br />
Dead head finished flowers to<br />
encourage continuous blooming.<br />
Pruning fruit trees<br />
<strong>June</strong> is the main month for<br />
pruning existing fruit trees<br />
and purchasing new ones.<br />
Garden centres have the most<br />
comprehensive selection of new<br />
season fruit trees now. When<br />
pruning young pip and stone<br />

month.<br />
fruit trees, aim to create a strong<br />
structure that will support the<br />
weight of fruiting wood in future<br />
years. With older, mature fruit<br />
trees, remove inward growing<br />
branches, reduce the height<br />
of trees (for harvesting and<br />
maintenance) and remove any<br />
overgrown branches. Where there<br />
are signs of damage or disease,<br />
remove these branches.<br />
Pruning berry fruit<br />
All these berry fruit (raspberries,<br />
boysenberries, loganberries,<br />
gooseberries) are very vigorous<br />
growers requiring the removal of<br />
all old growth and some of the<br />
same seasons canes where they<br />
are not required. Tie new canes to<br />
the existing wires or framework.<br />
Be careful to remove any diseased<br />
plant material.<br />
Rose pruning commences<br />
Apart from the odd late flowering<br />
rose such as iceberg, most roses<br />
have now shed their leaves and<br />
can be pruned. Remove all dead<br />
or diseased wood, remember<br />
most rose bushes, even though<br />
quite healthy, will have some dead<br />
wood.<br />
Prune to outward facing buds<br />
and remove any wood that is<br />
thinner than pencil thickness. If<br />
some plants have a lot of dead/<br />
diseased wood, it is advisable<br />
to remove the specimens and<br />
replace with new rose bushes.<br />
With climbing roses, train the<br />
main leaders (growing up from<br />
ground) on a horizontal axis as<br />
this encourages the production<br />
of flowers. With all roses, a spray<br />
with copper compound after<br />
the completion of pruning helps<br />
minimise reinfection of fungal<br />
disease in spring.<br />
Ornamental trees and<br />
shrubs<br />
Garden centres have the best<br />
range of plants in <strong>June</strong> and July<br />
so an excellent time to buy.<br />
Always be fussy when selecting<br />
new plants. Ensure they are new,<br />
healthy, and not root-bound, and<br />
are the right plant for the position<br />
you are going to plant them<br />
in. Try to avoid overcrowding in<br />
your garden as trees and shrubs<br />
can often grow a lot bigger than<br />
what is written on the label.<br />
Container gardens<br />
Especially useful over the<br />
winter months for growing salad<br />
vegetables and herbs close to<br />
the kitchen. Mass displays of<br />
winter annuals in containers can<br />
brighten up winter decks and<br />
balconies. Always plant into fresh<br />
container mix that has sufficient<br />
nutrients for healthy, vigorous<br />
growth.<br />

Cheeky Toyota C-HR range revamped<br />
AN ACQUAINTANCE asked me<br />
recently did I like Toyota’s C-HR,<br />
she was thinking of buying one.<br />
I said it is a funky, trendy car<br />
that will never let her down, I also<br />
presented her with a couple of<br />
other options, but the Toyota won<br />
out and she is now a happy C-HR<br />
owner.<br />
The C-HR (coupe high-rider)<br />
landed here around three years<br />
ago and it immediately stood<br />
out for its edgy styling and bold<br />
presence, it is a small sport utility<br />
vehicle that punches above its<br />
weight in terms of looks, it appeals<br />
to those who want fashion in their<br />
new car purchase and want to<br />
make a statement.<br />
The C-HR has just had a facelift<br />
for <strong>2020</strong>; it gets some new kit,<br />
while bolder cosmetic detailing<br />
gives it more of an extreme look.<br />
Importantly, it has also had a<br />
major mechanical enhancement,<br />
the C-HR is now available with<br />
hybrid power – as an option.<br />
There are five variants in the<br />
C-HR line-up, this evaluation<br />
doesn’t encompass the hybrid,<br />
I’m due to drive that model soon,<br />
however, the base model vehicle<br />
is a good starting point in the<br />
series and after driving it for a<br />
week I certainly feel it is a worthy<br />
consideration at $32,990.<br />
That price is competitive,<br />
and if you take into account<br />
that the range spans to $37,990,<br />
then there is a C-HR for all<br />
budgets.<br />
Of course the C-HR won’t be<br />
for everyone, at just 4.3m it’s on<br />
the small side and it’s compact<br />
inside. I’m not saying it’s cramped,<br />
far from it, rear passengers have<br />
good leg room and more than<br />
enough height, it’s just that if there<br />
are five in the car, those broad<br />
shouldered in the rear will be cosy.<br />
However, cargo space is generous<br />
at 318-litres.<br />
Under the bonnet of the base<br />
model sits an element of surprise<br />
– a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol<br />
engine. If you are thinking that<br />
that would be a bit wimpy, think<br />
again, there is a turbocharger to<br />
lift the power outputs and also<br />
provide economy.<br />
It is rated by Toyota at 85kW<br />
and 185Nm with the power<br />
outputs developed low in the<br />
rev band from 5200rpm to<br />
5600rpm. Maximum torque is<br />
also developed all of the way<br />
from 1500rpm to 4000rpm which<br />
provides a solid amount of energy<br />
right through the mid-range,<br />
exactly where it is needed for<br />
everyday motoring.<br />
Drive thereafter is channelled<br />
TOYOTA C-HR: Extreme look will appeal to trendsetters.<br />
through a seven-step continuously<br />
variable automatic transmission.<br />
Together, the driveline is very<br />
smooth and seamless, no surprises<br />
there, that’s the way it is with CVT.<br />
While the base model C-HR looks<br />
like a four-wheel-drive vehicle, it’s<br />
not, however, there is an all-corner<br />
drive model and that will add<br />
$4500 to the price.<br />
Nevertheless, the base model<br />
is the quintessential urban jungle<br />
challenger.<br />
Performance is satisfactory.<br />
The power and torque figures<br />
are delivered low in the rev<br />
band (5200 and 1500-4000rpm),<br />
the engine has no hesitation of<br />
hauling quickly through to the red<br />
line if needed.<br />
Against the clock the nonhybrid<br />
model will reach <strong>10</strong>0km/h<br />
from a standstill in 9.8sec and will<br />
make 120km/h from 80km/h in<br />
6.4sec.<br />
On the subject of figures,<br />
you’d also expect the C-HR to be<br />
economical and you’d be quite<br />
right. Toyota claims a 6.4-litre per<br />
<strong>10</strong>0km combined cycle fuel usage<br />
average. The evaluation car’s trip<br />
computer was constantly reading<br />
around 7.6l/<strong>10</strong>0km during my<br />
time with it, that helped by an<br />
economical 4.8l/<strong>10</strong>0km figure<br />
sitting at <strong>10</strong>0km/h on the open<br />
road, the engine turning over at a<br />
leisurely 1750rpm.<br />
Even though I carried out my<br />
normal highway open road run,<br />
the C-HR was mostly used in an<br />
around-the-city environment, a<br />
busy new year period necessitated<br />
a lot of short runs which are<br />
never good for fuel economy so<br />
I was pleasantly surprised by the<br />
returns.<br />
The C-HR is also pretty<br />
• Price – Toyota C-HR,<br />
$32,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4385mm; width, 1795mm;<br />
height, 1565mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1197cc, 85kW,<br />
185Nm, continuously<br />
variable automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-<strong>10</strong>0km/h, 9.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.4l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />
sharp when presented with a<br />
few quick corners. It rides and<br />
handles with much dignity, the<br />
ride isn’t severe, bumps and<br />
ruts are well absorbed through<br />
a wonderful four-corner<br />
independent suspension thanks to<br />
the engineering that is needed for<br />
its four-wheel-drive stablemate.<br />
With the changes for the new<br />
decade, the C-HR could well be<br />
described as well-specced. There<br />
are a few extras such as a multimedia<br />
8in touch screen system,<br />
full smartphone integration that<br />
incorporates Apple CarPlay and<br />
Android Auto, which are new<br />
inclusions. They sit on top of the<br />
normal features you’d want in a<br />
car such as this.<br />
In keeping with the extreme<br />
look of C-HR, Toyota also offers it<br />
in bright colours, the combination<br />
is very alluring and the entire<br />
package reeks of desire.<br />
That had a lot to do with the<br />
choice my acquaintance made.<br />
The C-HR isn’t big, but it is big on<br />
value and presence.

Building on a budget<br />
Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with<br />
a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford.<br />
Get smart with your money to achieve<br />
your dream home without compromising<br />
on what’s really important.<br />
Consider buying a large plot of land with<br />
friends or family which you can split into<br />
smaller lots. Many great<br />
locations tend to cover<br />
more ground, so get the<br />
stunning harbour view<br />
you dream of by sharing<br />
the cost with someone you<br />
don’t mind having as a<br />
neighbour.<br />
Opting for lowmaintenance<br />
building<br />
materials, like vinyl siding<br />
and metal roofing saves in<br />
the long run. Although<br />
they may be more<br />
expensive to install you<br />
will save money on future<br />
repairs, replacement or<br />
repainting.<br />
Using salvaged and recycled<br />
materials and componentry<br />
from the abundance of<br />
demolition sites around the<br />
city not only adds valuable<br />
character to new builds, but<br />
can save money, too.<br />
For the safety and security<br />
of your home, don’t skimp on structural<br />
elements, doors and windows. Buy the<br />
very best you can afford and, together<br />
with your architect or builder, determine<br />
other areas you could save on to allow for<br />
a few luxuries.<br />
It’s important not to waste valuable cash<br />
on overbuilding. Look carefully at the<br />
existing properties in the area and be<br />
Deciding exactly<br />
what you want<br />
and then sticking with<br />
it will ensure you stay<br />
on budget, on time,<br />
and all with<br />
minimal stress.<br />
aware that building a home that is bigger<br />
and better than those of your neighbours<br />
will not necessarily equate to a fair price<br />
if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the<br />
value of your build will be determined<br />
by the lower-priced homes<br />
around it.<br />
The experience of a wellqualified<br />
contractor is an<br />
invaluable asset in any<br />
building project. Not only<br />
will you have recourse<br />
should anything go wrong,<br />
but their experience in<br />
the industry means they<br />
will have established<br />
relationships with suppliers<br />
and subcontractors, whom<br />
they trust to deliver the best<br />
workmanship possible.<br />
Keep a close eye on<br />
construction allowances as<br />
your home is being built<br />
to ensure you are getting<br />
what you asked for and<br />
what you paid for. if you<br />
had initially agreed on<br />
using a specific brand, for<br />
example, then don’t settle<br />
for less, unless you discuss<br />
a cost adjustment with your<br />
builder or contractor.<br />
Many a building project has snowballed<br />
out of control in the financial department<br />
due to changes being made to the design<br />
and materials once building is already<br />
underway. Deciding exactly what you<br />
want and then sticking with it will ensure<br />
you stay on budget, within your expected<br />
time frame, and all with minimal stress.<br />

West Melton 23 Whitewood Crescent<br />
A great little lifestyle<br />
Unseen from the road, this 1.1ha property has been<br />
landscaped to maximise privacy. The timeless home<br />
showcases an attractive combination of Oamaru<br />
stone and cedar and has received recent<br />
enhancements. A three-car garage, two-car carport<br />
and an additional two-bay shed provide excellent<br />
