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

• 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.

City counci lors James Gough,

THE DOPE smokers who
have been parking up on a

no doubt now be looking for
a quiet spot somewhere else
(see page 1).
That’s because the police have
moved to crack down on cannabis
smokers tucking themselves
away on Edwards Rd.
About 20 people have
been caught in recent weeks.
Police have done the reasonable
thing and given them
a warning, and confiscated
and destroyed the green stuff
and the equipment used to
smoke it.
Our front page article and
the bush telegraph will probably
ensure dope smoking
on Edwards Rd will now

It’ll just happen somewhere
else.

no later than September 2.
Siana Fitzjohn, a member of
the climate group Extinction
Rebellion, who is against the
expansion, said the high number
of submissions is encouraging.
“It is awesome because it
shows that people are actively
wanting to participate in democracy
and have a say in
what happens to the land and
climate,” she said.
Ms Fitzjohn said it shows how
many people oppose the expansion
of the coal mine.
A fortnight ago, Selwyn Times
comedy night
reported that the number of
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.
THe proposed work
plan includes a number of

projects aimed at reducing
flooding.
Happy Jacks Creek is to be
cleared and floodgates are
expected to be installed.
A water level monitor will be
installed at the roundabout on
Bealey Rd and options are being
discussed for a permanent onsite
pump.
THe drain on Bealey Rd will
be reinstated to allow for an
alternative discharge point for
floodwater at the roundabout.
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
now included in annual routine
maintenance.
A manhole has been installed
at the roundabout in the
township to allow for easy access
to pump water when the flap gate
shuts.

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
don’t like to use the weekends,
so they don’t tend to come to the
working bees which are typically
on a Sunday morning. I have a
couple of mums who bring their
kids during the weekdays just for
a bit of a potter, and for them to
have a play. It is more about time

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.

Call to complete walkway

Titled Unlocked, the exhibition

who have had their exhibitions

Over a dozen painters, potters

“It has only been a matter

we can do this.
“At the moment that section

Mrs Wragg said the committee
is now asking the district

completion of the remaining
sections of the cycleway.

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

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

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
upgrade, Lowes Road is one way on both sides
of the intersection, with lanes open for traffic
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
sewer system.

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.

It is the fifth year of the Live in

cancelled left right and centre.
“It is a big relief to be able to
go to the performers and staff to
say we have some work for you,’

last year and now he wants to do

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
safety car was deployed later in
the race, setting up a 18min dash

McLaughlin and Shane van Gisbergen in the ARG eSport Cup.

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.
Time adds dark chocolate and charcuterie
to the brightness and vivacity, while the
tannins are very fine.
Rather delicious. No sulphur

first, building a
quietly alluring perfume.
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
lead too.
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.

Smoke, a little funky wildness, wild herbs

Red fruits and raspberry lead the palate,
with hints of Christmas fruit mix and oak

There’s fruit sweetness her, the tannins

Dusty, smoke,

a toffee note with aeration.
Youthfully crunchy and juicy, highlighting
cherry and blackberry, along with a

the close. Good flavour intensity and while
this shows its youthful brashness, there is
drinkability too.

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

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

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

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
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

• Performance –

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.

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.
