PREBBLETON’S new<br />
supermarket is proving popular<br />
in the community.<br />
FreshChoice Prebbleton<br />
opened the doors of its new<br />
store to the public last Tuesday<br />
morning and celebrated with<br />
speeches from guests including<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton and a<br />
ribbon-cutting ceremony.<br />
Judith McDonald of Prebbleton<br />
said: “Oh it’s lovely. It’s a<br />
really great supermarket. It is<br />
definitely where I will be shopping<br />
from now on.”<br />
Deputy Mayor and Springs<br />
Ward councillor Malcolm Lyall<br />
said he thinks the development<br />
is fantastic for the community.<br />
“I think it’s a great thing to be<br />
able to walk to the shop and not<br />
have to drive. The store looks<br />
fantastic. The meat selection is<br />
very good and I must say I am<br />
very impressed with the craft<br />
beer selection.”<br />
The store is owned by<br />
Prebbleton residents Grant and<br />
Kathy Hatton.<br />

Broughton<br />
takes<br />
10 per cent<br />
pay cut for<br />
six months<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
MAYOR SAM Broughton will<br />
take a 10 per cent pay cut because<br />
of the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
It will be effective for the first<br />
six months of the<br />
coming financial<br />
year.<br />
It will see his<br />
salary reduced<br />
from $136,500 to<br />
$129,675.<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
The cut was<br />
determined<br />
independently by<br />
the Remuneration<br />
Authority following<br />
a law change in May that<br />
allowed the authority to reduce<br />
mayoral salaries for up to six<br />
months.<br />
Springston township<br />
committee chairman Rupert<br />
Tipples said: “I commend the<br />
mayor for leading by example.<br />
<strong>Times</strong> will only get harder,<br />
especially as wage subsidies end,<br />
and we all should be making<br />
sacrifices,” he said.<br />
Mr Broughton said he had no<br />
issue taking a pay cut.<br />

Date set for<br />
Hororata Highland Games<br />
ANOTHER MAJOR event<br />
in the district will go ahead<br />
as normality starts to return<br />
following Covid-19.<br />
The Hororata Highland<br />
Games will take place on November<br />
7.<br />
Hororata Community<br />
Trust executive officer Cindy<br />
Driscoll said<br />
organising<br />
one of the<br />
first major<br />
events to be<br />
confirmed<br />
for the region<br />
has not been<br />
easy.<br />
Cindy Driscoll<br />
“Planning<br />
an event with<br />
constantly changing Covid-19<br />
levels and guidelines is a challenge<br />
but our community has<br />
never backed away from a challenge.<br />
“A decade ago, we designed<br />
the Hororata Highland Games<br />
to help our community recover<br />
following the Canterbury<br />
earthquakes. Now 10 years on,<br />
the games will once again be a<br />
shining light as we overcome the<br />
trials of Covid-19.”<br />
The announcement follows<br />
the confirmation of other major<br />
events for the district.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds will return to<br />
the Lincoln Domain on March<br />
6 next year and the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Spring Show will take place on<br />
October 17 at the Ellesmere<br />
Showgrounds.<br />
Ms Driscoll said the support<br />
of their suppliers and sponsors is<br />
what gave them the confidence<br />
to move ahead with the games.<br />
“There is a real feeling from<br />
every aspect of ‘we will do what<br />
it takes’ to make the games a<br />
success.”<br />
The Hororata Highland<br />
Games attracts 10,000 people<br />
each year with about 500<br />
competitors in Scottish events<br />
including the caber tossing,<br />
highland dancing and pipe band<br />
competitions.<br />

SUCCESS: The<br />
Hororata Highland<br />
Games will forge<br />
ahead this year<br />
and return for its<br />
10th anniversary. <br />
comes together to make the<br />
event happen.<br />
Ms Driscoll says this will<br />
be an important festival not just<br />
for Hororata but all of Canterbury.<br />
“Our community loves<br />
welcoming people from all over<br />
New Zealand to the Hororata<br />
Highland Games and we<br />
can’t wait to celebrate its 10th<br />
birthday.”<br />
In Brief<br />
ANNUAL PLAN ADOPTED<br />
District councillors have unanimously<br />
agreed to sign off on the<br />
<strong>2020</strong>/21 Annual Plan, giving the<br />
go-ahead for $156 million in projects.<br />
The district council adopted<br />
the plan with no changes to the<br />
draft at a meeting last Wednesday.<br />
Major projects planned for the<br />
coming financial year include<br />
the $14.8 million <strong>Selwyn</strong> Health<br />
Hub and Springs/Marshs Rds and<br />
Shands/Blakes Rds intersection<br />
upgrades.<br />
NEW DARFIELD DOG PARK<br />
Darfield will soon be the home<br />
of a new dog park. The offleash<br />
exercise area will open at<br />
McHughs Forest Park later this<br />
month. The park will include a<br />
fenced area at the southern end<br />
of the forest. A district council<br />
spokesman said the dog park or<br />
off-leash exercise area received<br />
strong support during a public<br />
consultation day about future<br />
developments at the park.<br />
CRAFT AND CHAT GROUP<br />
In the community events section<br />
last week, it read a craft and chat<br />
group would meet at the Lincoln<br />
Library on Monday. This was<br />
incorrect, the group runs every<br />
Thursday from 10am to noon.<br />

Quarry appeal lodged<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
AN APPEAL has been lodged<br />
against the decision to approve a<br />
quarry near Weedons.<br />
The appeal will be heard by<br />
the Environment Court.<br />
Weedons Residents Association<br />
chairman<br />
Stephen Bain<br />
has lodged the<br />
appeal on his<br />
own behalf,<br />
not the association’s.<br />
“It feels<br />
Stephen Bain<br />
good to have<br />
it officially<br />
filed because I think this needs<br />
to go to the courts. Right now it<br />
has cost me $600 personally to<br />
lodge it.<br />
“I don’t have a handle on<br />
what the exact cost will be yet.<br />
That will be determined over<br />
time.”<br />
Mr Bain said a lot of people<br />
offered to contribute financially<br />
to the cause.<br />
“I think what I will do is probably<br />
get a third party or another<br />
person of standing in the community<br />
who could start up<br />
and manage a givealittle page<br />
for me.<br />
“I’ll get somebody who is<br />
prepared to manage that at arm’s<br />

Templeton Residents’ Association<br />
chairwoman Jolene Eager<br />
said the group spent all of the<br />
$40,000 raised during the initial<br />
hearing process.<br />
They were unable to financially<br />
support Mr Bain’s appeal.<br />
Fulton Hogan was given<br />
permission to develop a 170ha<br />
site between Dawsons, Jones,<br />
Maddisons and Curraghs Rds.<br />
A trio of commissioners has<br />
previously dismissed objections<br />
the quarry could be detrimental<br />
to the health and livelihoods of<br />
nearby residents and businesses.<br />
The quarry could open in<br />
2022. If it does, it could produce<br />
more than half a million tonnes<br />
of gravel a year over the next 40<br />
years.<br />
Proposed mine expansion<br />
subject of meeting<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
RESIDENTS WILL gather in<br />
Glentunnel tomorrow to discuss<br />
their opposition to a proposed<br />
expansion of a nearby coal mine.<br />
Bathurst Coal Ltd has applied<br />
to expand its opencast coal mine,<br />
known as Canterbury Coal<br />
Mine, at Bush Gully Rd, near<br />
Coalgate, by 18ha.<br />
Siana Fitzjohn lives near<br />
Darfield and has organised the<br />
meeting. She said the idea is to<br />
discuss the mine and its impacts.<br />
“The meeting agenda will<br />
probably be flexible depending<br />
on who shows up and what they<br />
wish to discuss.”<br />
An Environment Canterbury<br />
spokeswoman said they are<br />
not yet able to confirm exact<br />
numbers of submissions they<br />
have received on the expansion<br />
proposal but it is about 646.<br />
The majority of the submissions<br />
are opposing the expansion.<br />
The spokeswoman said the<br />
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 />
ECan and the district council<br />
received an application to<br />
increase the opencast coal mine<br />

support the expansion of<br />
the Bathurst coal mine in the<br />

views to devon.bolger@<br />

The site is currently 52ha,<br />
of which 38ha are mined, and<br />
owner Bathurst Coal is seeking<br />
retrospective land use consent for<br />
existing and future earthworks.<br />
Production at the site is<br />
currently 95,000 tonnes of<br />
coal per annum, which is sold<br />
for industrial and commercial<br />
use.<br />

He said it has<br />
been a long process<br />
but he has always<br />
wanted to own a<br />
supermarket.<br />
“I was in retailing<br />

sold in 2<strong>01</strong>1. It has been six<br />
PREBBLETON residents<br />
fighting against a proposed<br />
waste plant expansion<br />
nearby are welcoming the<br />
possibility of it<br />
going straight to<br />
the Environment<br />
Court.<br />
Waste Management<br />
Ltd has<br />
applied to refer its<br />
resource consent<br />
application for an<br />
expansion of its<br />
waste facility on<br />
Marshs Rd directly<br />
to the Environment Court.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
will decide by <strong>July</strong><br />
9 whether to grant the<br />
request.<br />
An ECan spokesman<br />
said if it is granted, the<br />
application and submitters<br />
would be heard by the<br />
Environment Court, rather<br />
A PROJECT to expand the<br />
Kirwee Reserve by 6.5ha<br />
has taken its next step and<br />
is now included in the<br />
District Plan.<br />
The district council confirmed<br />
the project would<br />

years in the making to get<br />
this supermarket.<br />
“It’s just something I<br />
have always wanted to do.<br />
I was fortunate enough for<br />
them to take me on<br />
as a franchisee into<br />
the FreshChoice<br />
group,” he said.<br />
Mrs Hatton<br />
comes from a farming<br />
background and<br />
grew up in Temuka.<br />
The construction<br />
of the supermarket<br />
began in September<br />
last year but its opening<br />
was delayed because of the<br />
than a panel of commissioners<br />
at a hearing.<br />
Said Prebbleton resident<br />
Judy Sachdeva: “It seems<br />
to show that they know the<br />
majority of the community<br />
are against them<br />
and there are very<br />
good reasons for<br />
us to be concerned<br />
about the proposal<br />
going ahead.<br />
“If, as they say,<br />
the Environment<br />
Court will<br />
have superior<br />
commissioners<br />
we would<br />
welcome experienced and<br />
knowledgeable experts<br />
looking at the proposal<br />
and we have confidence<br />
they will make the right<br />
decision for the health<br />
and well being of the<br />
community.”<br />
One of the reasons Waste<br />
Management Ltd gave in<br />
be in the District Plan at a<br />
meeting last Wednesday.<br />
The decision begins the<br />
formal process to extend<br />
and redevelop the reserve<br />
in line with the Kirwee<br />
Reserve Master Plan.<br />
Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Catherine Haig of Rolleston<br />
said the new supermarket<br />
was lovely.<br />
“It is my first time being<br />
in here and I think<br />
it’s wonderful. I am very<br />
impressed.”<br />
Sandra and Barry Callaghan<br />
travelled from<br />
Rolleston to check out the<br />
new supermarket.<br />
Mrs Callaghan said: “We<br />
think it is amazing and it is<br />
good to support other local<br />
businesses. Usually, we<br />
shop in Rolleston but this<br />
is great.”<br />
Environment Court could<br />
make waste facility decision<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
its application to have the<br />
matter referred directly to<br />
the Environment Court<br />
was the likelihood of<br />
appeals.<br />
“The [resource consent]<br />
application is contentious.<br />
It has already generated<br />
considerable community<br />
and media attention<br />
including public meetings.<br />
In this context, a<br />
community trust called the<br />
Prebbleton Community<br />
Clean Air Trust has been<br />
created and a givealittle<br />
page created to raise funds<br />
to oppose the application.<br />
“The significant public<br />
interest raises the real<br />
likelihood of appeals and<br />
for that reason alone the<br />
application should be<br />
directly referred to the<br />
Environment Court to<br />
be determined in the first<br />
instance,” the application<br />
read.<br />
Kirwee Reserve likely to be expanded<br />
The plan includes<br />
realigning and expanding<br />
the rugby fields, developing<br />
a new cricket oval and nest,<br />
installing play spaces, a<br />
basketball court, a skate<br />
park and a pump track.

Psychiatrist doubles as comedian<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
BY DAY Joanna Prendergast<br />
helps people struggling with<br />
mental health but at night her<br />
personality transforms on stage<br />
to bring joy to people through<br />
laughter.<br />
The Prebbleton resident decided<br />
to try her hand at comedy<br />
at the age of 48. Three years later<br />
and she is debuting her solo<br />
show to raise money for women’s<br />
refuge.<br />
Ms Prendergast works as a<br />
psychiatrist but says she tried<br />
comedy after a push from a<br />
comedy producer.<br />
“I have been a performer since<br />
I was a child but decided to go to<br />
medical school rather than drama<br />
school. A comedy producer<br />
suggested I try stand-up comedy<br />
when I was acting in a TV show<br />
pilot a few years ago.<br />
“I like a challenge so I gave it<br />
a go and haven’t stopped since.<br />
It’s an amazing feeling to have<br />
a room of people having a great<br />
time and laughing at your jokes.”<br />
Since starting comedy, Ms<br />
Prendergast has had a lot of<br />
success.<br />
She placed third in the South<br />
Island Raw Comedy Quest in<br />
2<strong>01</strong>8 and has also twice been<br />
comedy roast battle champion<br />
and won three awards at the<br />
2<strong>01</strong>9 Christchurch Comedy<br />
carnival.<br />
Ms Prendergast has two teenage<br />
children and has lived in<br />
Prebbleton for 16 years.<br />
She said she loves the country<br />
lifestyle so close to the city.<br />
She was disappointed the New<br />
Zealand International Comedy<br />
Festival show was cancelled this<br />
year but found a silver lining by<br />
spending the lockdown finishing<br />
writing her debut solo show The<br />
Cool Mum.<br />
The show will be held at Little<br />
Andromeda Theatre in Oxford<br />
Tce on Friday. It is a parody of<br />
a celebrity parenting seminar<br />
DIVERSE:<br />
Prebbleton’s Joanna<br />
Prendergast is<br />
raising money for<br />
Women’s Refuge<br />
after launching her<br />
comedy career at 48.<br />
focusing on her own parenting<br />
experiences.<br />
She said her on-stage persona<br />
Jo Ghastly developed from how<br />
she imagines her children view<br />
her, as embarrassing, clueless<br />
and thinking she is cool.<br />
“My teenagers both perform<br />
in some video clip skits in<br />
the show, along with some<br />
of their friends. My kids and<br />
other young people seem to<br />
particularly enjoy my comedy as<br />
it’s very relatable to them. If my<br />
16-year-old son smirks at a joke,<br />
I know I’ve hit solid gold.”<br />
As a psychiatrist, Ms Prendergast<br />
says she takes professional<br />
boundaries very seriously.<br />
“Especially around respecting<br />
mental health. For this reason,<br />
I perform comedy as a persona<br />
and avoid mental health content<br />
in my comedy.<br />
“Most of the content is lighthearted<br />
jokes but there are some<br />
truthful, take-home messages<br />
about parenting and life in the<br />
show.”<br />
Women’s Refuge will receive<br />
25 per cent of the ticket sales for<br />
Ms Pendergast’s show.<br />
“As a psychiatrist, I work with<br />
many women who have been in<br />
abusive situations and have been<br />
supported by Women’s Refuge.<br />
“Supporting women to get<br />
away from abuse and to protect<br />
their children from abuse is<br />
one of the most important ways<br />
we can reduce developmental<br />
trauma and long-term mental<br />
health challenges.”<br />
There will also be a donation<br />
bucket for Women’s Refuge set<br />
up after the show.<br />
As well at the show on Friday,<br />
Ms Prendergast is also planning<br />
a second show on September 11,<br />
as well as on <strong>July</strong> 13 in Wanaka<br />
and <strong>July</strong> 15 in Queenstown.<br />

130 new pest<br />
traps for<br />
national park<br />
RATS AND stoats are on<br />
borrowed time as the Arthur’s<br />
Pass Wildlife Trust prepares to set<br />
more than 130 new traps.<br />
The traps were donated by<br />
power company Orion.<br />
Native birdlife is being threatened<br />
by predators which have<br />
increased in large numbers over<br />
autumn due to a mega mast.<br />
Arthur’s Pass Wildlife Trust<br />
chairman Peter Neale said the<br />
traps are vital to stem rampant<br />
predator population growth that<br />
is threatening native birds such as<br />
kiwi, kea and rock wren.<br />
“When the predator’s food<br />
source dries up they turn to native<br />
birds and lizards. Our native species<br />
are not well adapted to these<br />
predators and have poor defence<br />
against them,’’ Mr Neale said.<br />
The traps are being laid in the<br />
Mt Aicken, Bealey, Mingha and<br />
Edwards River valley areas of<br />
Arthur’s Pass National Park, and<br />
will be cleared and reset by trust<br />
members and volunteers.<br />
The new traps will boost trap<br />
numbers in the area by 15 per cent.<br />
During spring the new traps<br />
are expected to catch more than<br />
100 predators a month, and<br />
significantly slow their growth in<br />
numbers.<br />

Southern ChiropraCtiC<br />
3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs)<br />
Three important reasons<br />
for seeking Southern<br />
Chiropractic care –<br />
and how it can help<br />
Our spines are delicate yet important<br />
central structures designed to<br />
support the human body and<br />
allow for physical movement and<br />
functionality.<br />
By ensuring better spinal alignment<br />
through care at Halswell’s Southern<br />
Chiropractic you can better protect<br />
against potential back injury and<br />
increase the capacity of your body to<br />
heal itself naturally. There are many<br />
benefits to regular chiropractic care<br />
that will improve your overall general<br />
health and wellbeing both now, and in<br />
the future.<br />
The three main benefits are:<br />
Pain and stress relief: When your<br />
spine is not working freely and your<br />
vertebrae may be misaligned it is<br />
likely that your body will not feel 100<br />
per cent. Some may experience a<br />
mild or dull ache, others tightness<br />
in muscles and perhaps a strong<br />
sharper pain. For most individuals,<br />
this can also cause mental stress<br />
as your attention is drawn to the<br />
symptoms experienced. Treatment<br />
by Southern Chiropractic will help<br />
balance your body and provide<br />
much-needed stress relief, whilst<br />
restoring you back to your better,<br />
more active self.<br />
Better posture: Over time, and<br />
largely as a result of sedentary<br />
lifestyles, our spines can be exposed<br />
to added physical pressure. Taking<br />
a little time to engage in regular<br />
exercise and chiropractic care can<br />
do wonders to help align abnormal<br />
curving or tilting in your spine and<br />
improve your overall body posture.<br />
Improved motion: As chiropractic<br />
care can lessen tension in your spine<br />
and allow the nerves to communicate<br />
without interference, you could<br />
benefit from an improved sense of<br />
motion and increase in energy. When<br />
your body no longer has to fight<br />
against constant aches and pains,<br />
it will better support movement and<br />
physical activity.<br />
Southern Chiropractic care consists<br />
of initial orthopaedic assessment<br />
to determine areas of dysfunction<br />
within the spine (neck and back)<br />
followed by treatment designed to<br />
facilitate the restoration of normal<br />
function to that area. Methods used<br />
include a combination of soft tissue<br />
treatment (massage), low level laser<br />
therapy and spinal manipulation or<br />
mobilisation.<br />
Importance of healthy lifestyles<br />
Alongside chiropractic treatment, an<br />
active and healthy lifestyle will help<br />
to maintain your back health and<br />
decrease the likelihood of excess<br />
weight, strain and resulting injury.<br />

Amazing Midwinter<br />
New Patient Special.<br />
First patient visit $60 for full<br />
assessment and treatment.<br />
Valid for online bookings only, from 1st <strong>July</strong> to 14th <strong>July</strong><br />
Adopting a balanced diet that is<br />
nutrient and vitamin-rich will also<br />
contribute to a wholesome lifestyle.<br />
Regular exercise, whether walking,<br />
swimming, yoga or any other sport<br />
for that matter, will be beneficial for<br />
your body, spine and mind.<br />

INSPIRATIONAL: The students behind the business Neat (from left to right) – Tike Schenkel,<br />
Noah Korach, Brady Yelavich, Sam Garters, Delmari Janse van Rensburg and Emily Walker.<br />
Shoe cleaning product earns awards<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
‘A PRODUCT designed by<br />
Lincoln High School students<br />
has won a top regional award.<br />
Sam Garters, Emily Walker,<br />
Delmari Janse van Rensburg,<br />
Tike Schenkel, Noah Korach<br />
and Brayden Yelavich were<br />
named as regional winners and<br />
national runner-up in the first<br />
challenge of the Young Enterprise<br />
Scheme.<br />
Their business, Neat, developed<br />
an eco-friendly white shoe<br />
cleaning kit.<br />
The challenge centered around<br />
market validation focusing on<br />
bringing the product to the<br />
market.<br />
Said Neat chief executive Sam<br />
Garters: “We were incredibly<br />
proud and excited to win these<br />
awards.<br />
“The lockdown was a huge<br />
hurdle in completing our market<br />
validation, so, to not only<br />
overcome this but to win first<br />
place regionally and second place<br />
nationally was amazing.”<br />
Sam said the young enterprise<br />
programme consists of five challenges<br />
throughout the year.<br />
“We are currently working on<br />
the final touches for our pitch to<br />
the young enterprise judges, and<br />
will then be starting the promotion<br />
challenge on <strong>July</strong> 31.”<br />
He said the idea for their<br />
product came about because they<br />
wanted something that would<br />
save time and help the environment.<br />
“As a group of young individuals,<br />
we know how easily white<br />
shoes get dirty and we’re used<br />
to not having the time to clean<br />
them frequently enough.<br />
“So, we have developed an<br />
eco-friendly white shoe cleaning<br />
kit that makes it quick and easy<br />
to keep your shoes clean without<br />
the high carbon footprint of the<br />
few alternative products on the<br />
market.”<br />
BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces a new species found in<br />
his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise<br />

Many ladybird species<br />
don’t have spots<br />
THERE ARE more than<br />
30 species of ladybirds or<br />
coccinellidae in New Zealand.<br />
Most people will be familiar<br />
with some of the more common<br />
spotted species including<br />
two-spotted, seven-spotted<br />
and eleven-spotted ladybirds,<br />
however, many ladybirds have<br />
no spots at all.<br />
One genus of ladybird called<br />
Rhyzobius contain about 106<br />
species spread around the world.<br />
A species found in New Zealand<br />
but also known in Australia,<br />
North America and Europe, is<br />
the forestier’s ladybird Rhyzobius<br />
forestieri.<br />
Although originally thought<br />
to have made it here on its own<br />
from Australia, this species was<br />
also brought to New Zealand for<br />
scale insect biological control as<br />
early as 1889.<br />
Adults are dark brown to<br />
black, oval shaped with fine<br />
short hairs, 3.2mm long and<br />
2.3mm wide.<br />
Females lay oval, yellow eggs<br />
on, against or under its scale<br />
SIMILAR: Forestier’s ladybird<br />
is often mistaken for the<br />
gumtree scale ladybird.<br />
insect prey. Larvae that hatch are<br />
elongated in shape and grey with<br />
dark lines across the body on<br />
each segment.<br />
Both adults and larvae feed<br />
on scale insect species including<br />
soft wax scale, chinese wax scale<br />
and felted pine scale.<br />
Forestier’s ladybird is often<br />
mistaken for a similar looking<br />
but slightly larger species called<br />
the gumtree scale ladybird<br />
Rhizobius ventrali.<br />

made it two from two thumping<br />
Lincoln 43-12 in the Coleman<br />
Shield competition on Saturday.<br />
It was a red-letter day for West<br />
Melton in front of their home<br />
crowd as they celebrated first-five<br />
Ashton Mulloy and fullback<br />
Lewis Allan’s 50th game. Both<br />
scored tries as West Melton<br />
emerged as a serious competition<br />
contender.<br />
It was another disappointing<br />
SPORT<br />
performance from Lincoln, who<br />
with a number of players out<br />
continue to struggle.<br />
Lincoln now gets a chance to<br />
regroup with a week off because<br />
of the bye.<br />
The real test for West Melton<br />
comes this weekend when they<br />
travel to Southbridge to meet the<br />
defending champions in an early<br />
top of the table clash.<br />
Southbridge were in<br />
commanding form on Saturday,<br />
smashing Springston 31-0, while<br />
Waihora destroyed Rolleston 67-7<br />
and Darfield crushed Hornby<br />
53-3.<br />
Saturday’s draw – Southbridge<br />
v West Melton, Prebbleton v<br />
Hornby, Springston v Waihora,<br />
Darfield v Rolleston. Lincoln<br />

Driver ‘excited’ by first harness race win<br />
• By Josh Smith<br />
IT MAY have been a wet winter’s<br />
day at Addington Raceway on<br />
Sunday, but it will live long in the<br />
memory of Jo Buckland-Stevens.<br />
The amateur driver was having<br />
just her second<br />
raceday outing<br />
and was able<br />
to pick-up<br />
her first win<br />
behind Glacier<br />
Coaster in the<br />
Mike Stratford<br />
Memorial<br />
Jo Buckland-<br />
Stevens<br />
Amateur<br />
Drivers Mobile<br />
Pace for trainer<br />
Bruce Negus.<br />
Buckland-Stevens bided her<br />
time at the rear of the field for<br />
the majority of the race before<br />
electing to press her claims fourwide<br />
down the back-straight.<br />
Glacier Coaster stuck on<br />
resolutely and was able to<br />
pick-up her rivals in the homestraight<br />
to record a half-length<br />
victory over Changearound, with<br />
a further 1-1/2 lengths back to<br />
Flame Lady in third.<br />
The win was made even more<br />
satisfying for Buckland-Stevens<br />
given the mare is owned by the<br />
estate of Mike Stratford, who<br />
died earlier this month.<br />
“It was pretty exciting to get<br />
my first win,” Buckland-Stevens<br />
said.<br />
“I was just trying to be really<br />
WINNERS ARE GRINNERS: Jo Buckland-Stevens drives Glacier Coaster to her first win on<br />

positive today. I knew she was a<br />
lovely horse to drive. I just tried<br />
to listen to the instructions and<br />
go out there and have fun.<br />
“She is just such a nice horse to<br />
drive and she is such an honest<br />
mare. I was ecstatic to drive her<br />
for Mike, especially on a special<br />
day with his memorial.<br />
“It was also great to get the win<br />
for Bruce and Colleen (Negus)<br />
and what they have done for me<br />
over the past few years.”<br />
Bruce Negus was instrumental<br />
‘As soon as I did (drive a<br />
horse) I was addicted.’<br />
– Jo Buckland-Stevens<br />
in Buckland-Stevens’<br />
involvement in harness racing,<br />
having introduced her to the<br />
sport three years ago, and he<br />
has encouraged her to pursue an<br />
amateur driver’s licence.<br />
“We own a garage out at<br />
Burnham (Challenge) and<br />
Bruce is one of our customers,”<br />
Buckland-Stevens said.<br />
“He came in about three years<br />
ago and Brendan (husband) and<br />
a few of the other mechanics<br />
went into shares in one of his<br />
horses.<br />
“I thought I would go and<br />
check the horse out and I ended<br />
up helping brush all the horses<br />
and learnt how to gear up.<br />
“One day Bruce said: ‘Did I<br />
want to jump in the bike and it<br />
all started from there. As soon<br />
SPORT<br />
as I did (drive a horse) I was<br />
addicted and then I started on<br />
the road towards an amateur<br />
licence.”<br />
Glacier Coaster has become<br />
one of Buckland-Stevens’<br />
favourite horses at Negus’ stable,<br />
alongside She’s Allthe Craze<br />
who finished runner-up later on<br />
the card behind the Colin and<br />
Julie DeFilippi-trained Midnight<br />
Assassin.<br />
“Glacier Coaster is just an<br />
honest mare to drive, I like<br />
her, and She’s Allthe Craze,”<br />
Buckland-Stevens said.<br />
“It’s a shame we don’t get<br />
to drive them because I like<br />
the trotters and she is just an<br />
amazing horse to drive.”<br />
Buckland-Stevens is enjoying<br />
her time out on the track on<br />
raceday and said the only goal<br />
she has at this stage is to improve<br />
on her driving abilities.<br />
“I am just trying to drive<br />
horses to their capability<br />
and listen to the trainer,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Next season I would like to<br />
get as many drives as I can and<br />
just continue to improve my<br />
driving skills.”<br />

Wine<br />
A wealth of fine pinot noirs<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
KIWIS ARE blessed with easy<br />
access to a wealth of great pinot<br />
noir, much of it from Otago.<br />
It can be easy to overlook the<br />
raft of pinot noirs that<br />
are produced north of these parts.<br />
Marlborough and North<br />
Canterbury have double the<br />
area of Central Otago devoted<br />
to pinot noir grapes and,<br />
while a swag of that goes into<br />
bubbles production, the volume<br />
remaining often means that<br />
pricing is very fair, as seen in<br />
today’s selection.<br />
2<strong>01</strong>9 Hunter’s Offshoot<br />
Marlborough<br />
Price: $24.99<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
Attractive nose with red fruits,<br />
raspberry dusty gravel, earthiness,<br />
a liquorice-like hint, wild<br />
herbs later. Juicy, bright fruit,<br />
crunchiness and grainy tannins,<br />
leading to a long, silky juniper<br />

Graphite and charry oak lead<br />
the nose; rich fruit here too yet a<br />
little bound up. Lead pencil, rubber,<br />
rich fruit meet up with powerful<br />
tannins and racy acidity:<br />
this feels like a lot of effort and<br />
ingredient have gone into making<br />
it, yet it still seems to need<br />
time to fully integrate. Time sees<br />
this soften and flesh out.<br />

Vibrant nose, richly fruited<br />
with raspberry and wild herbs,<br />
yet freshness and lift too. Red<br />
and dark fruits frame the powerful<br />
palate, spices, a little tamarillo<br />
with time. Develops an appealing<br />
sappiness and vibrancy,<br />
which adds coolness to the long,<br />
richly fruited close. Youthful, but<br />
already nicely integrated with<br />
superb drinkability, and potential<br />
too.<br />

Subtle but floral with red fruits<br />

time. There’s a little wildness<br />
to the palate, raspberry joining<br />
the mix along with cranberry, a<br />
stalky nuance and chewy, grainy<br />
tannins. A lightness and aerial<br />
quality to this zestiness to the<br />
palate with red fruits hanging on<br />
the close.<br />

Annual Plan signals<br />
long-term investment<br />
The Council has adopted an Annual Plan that balances investment for recovery and the future,<br />
with savings.<br />
The Council adopted the plan at its meeting last week, committing to a capital programme of<br />
$156 million, while also making savings of $1.7 million, adopting one of the smaller rates increases<br />
of any council in Canterbury.<br />
The Council halved its expected average rates increase to an average increase of 1.6% across the<br />
district. The range of increases for individual properties is expected to vary between 1.4% for urban<br />
residential properties (around $1 a week) and 3.2% for some larger rural properties.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton says the plan is an investment in the COVID-19 recovery and longer term<br />
future, while recognising the economic impact of the pandemic on ratepayers.<br />
“<strong>Selwyn</strong> is a growing district and remains a great place to live and work. However, we recognise<br />
that many households have been impacted by the pandemic. This plan aims to be compassionate<br />
and realistic about people’s circumstances, making savings where we can, while continuing to<br />
invest with infrastructure, facilities and projects that will provide jobs, boost economic activity and<br />
improve the wellbeing of <strong>Selwyn</strong> in the long term.”<br />
Some projects including the Prebbleton Community Centre were deferred, the Chief Executive<br />
and Mayor have both taken pay cuts, and salaries and staff numbers have been capped at current<br />
levels, with the exception of staff required to operate the new buildings.<br />
The Council has also put in place a rates assistance package to help people affected by<br />
COVID-19, including an extended rates payment period and reduced penalty fees.<br />
Major projects include:<br />
Te Ara Ātea and the Rolleston town centre<br />
($14 million)*<br />
Foster Park indoor courts($14 million)<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre extension<br />
($9 million)<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Health Hub ($13 million)<br />
Council keeps top credit rating<br />
Infrastructure projects include:<br />
Springs/Marshs Road and Shands/Blakes<br />
Road intersection upgrades ($10 million)<br />
District-wide water quality improvements<br />
($5 million)<br />
Upgrades to the Eastern <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Sewerage Scheme ($14 million)<br />
*Budgets are for the <strong>2020</strong>/21 financial year<br />
The Council has retained its top credit rating, with international ratings agency Fitch confirming the<br />
Council’s financial outlook is stable.<br />
The AA+ rating is the same as both the New Zealand sovereign rating and the Local Government<br />
Funding Agency for local currency and equal to the highest rating given to any council in New Zealand.<br />
The rating means the Council is at very low risk of defaulting on its loans and reflects the Council’s sound<br />
financial position and prudent financial forecasts, including prudent levels of borrowing and spending.<br />
The assessment was made during the period of the Level 4 lockdown and considered the potential<br />
impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic.<br />
Fitch found <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s diverse economy, with its limited reliance on international tourism, left it wellplaced<br />
to withstand the impacts of the pandemic.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton says, retaining the AA+ rating was a good sign for the Council and the district<br />
as a whole.<br />
“To keep our AA+ rating with a strong backing from the ratings agency on our financial outlook is great news<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. It’s a positive reflection of the sound financial decisions that our Council continues to make.”<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Open – A snowy escape<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 Porters Alpine Resort general manager<br />
Darren Cavill.<br />
Anticipation and excitement is in the chilly winter air as the team at<br />
Porters’ ski field work to get ready for the upcoming ski season.<br />
Darren Cavill says he knows customers will be feeling eager too.<br />
“They can’t wait, I’m imagining them all with their skis packed on<br />
the top of the car and the warm clothes hanging up, just ready to<br />
go, ready for us to blow the whistle.”<br />
The ski field has an average 25,000 visitors each winter. It recently<br />
joined with Porters Lodge, rebranding as a resort aiming to be<br />
the perfect getaway destination – a small village with hot pools,<br />
accommodation, restaurants and mountain biking.<br />
Just over an hour from Christchurch, Darren says people like<br />
Porters for its ‘learn to ski’ focus and family friendly approach.<br />
“There is a huge loyalty at Porters. I think that is a big reason people<br />
come. People have been coming to Porters for many years.”<br />
Darren, who recently moved back to Christchurch from <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
describes the district as his little escape.<br />
“It’s always a pleasure to drive out of Christchurch and arrive in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, I’m extremely lucky that I get to do that every day.”<br />
Updates for the opening of Porters’ ski field will be posted on their<br />
Facebook Page. They hope to be open on Friday 3 <strong>July</strong> in time for<br />
school holidays.<br />
See the district in a new way<br />
with KidsFest<br />
KidsFest starts next week, offering people the chance to get a<br />
whole new view of the district.<br />
The Eye Spy <strong>Selwyn</strong> quiz encourages young people to explore<br />
the district by setting challenges to visit different <strong>Selwyn</strong> sites and<br />
answer the quiz questions.<br />
It gives a great opportunity for adults too to find new reasons to love<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> by exploring some of our many businesses and attractions.<br />
Families can also go in the draw to win a view of the district from<br />
above thanks to Ballooning Canterbury.<br />
Ballooning Canterbury is offering Eye Spy <strong>Selwyn</strong> quizzers the<br />
chance to win a family hot air balloon ride for four if they answer a<br />
question and collect a stamp at each Council facility. Completed<br />
cards of stamps that are returned to the customer centre at the<br />
Council‘s Rolleston offices will go into the draw.<br />
Tickets and a full timetable of events will be available from Friday 5<br />
<strong>July</strong> at selwyn.govt.nz/kidsfest.<br />

Farhad Dastgheib was working at Shiraz University in Iran when he was accepted to complete his PhD<br />
in Agronomy at Lincoln University.<br />
“I did a little bit of research and found that this place they call New Zealand is so far away, but it has<br />
good potential, so I thought well, I’ll give it a try.”<br />
Soon after, the Islamic revolution changed his beloved country dramatically. Arriving in New Zealand in<br />
1987 he faced the challenge of leaving his daughter and wife in Iran, while the country was at war with<br />
neighbours Iraq. Communication was tricky too.<br />
“Every now and then I could make a telephone call and then that was it,” says Farhad.<br />
Two years later his family was able to join him.<br />
“That was probably the happiest day of my New Zealand life. My daughter was just turning five-yearsold<br />
when they came over and I remember a couple of days after their arrival, I managed to organise a<br />
nice birthday party for her and she was thrilled.”<br />
They welcomed a second daughter, and Farhad lectured at Lincoln<br />
University and set up his own agricultural research consultancy.<br />
People were friendly and interested in his culture and through the<br />
Lincoln Rotary Club he was able to give back, he says.<br />
The family celebrate Nowruz, the Iranian New Year in March,<br />
gathering around a table of food set in a traditional way,<br />
remembering each year gone by. It is important to pass on this<br />
tradition to his daughters and their families so they can have a<br />
feeling of belonging to a place, Farhad says.<br />
Farhad did not initially plan on staying in New Zealand for 32 years,<br />
but he is glad he did and feels this is home.<br />
“Coming from another country where there are different sorts of<br />
problems, it’s not easy but I had made a choice to live in a place<br />
where I can raise family in a peaceful and friendly environment. I<br />
found New Zealand to be a very good example of that.”<br />
Reduced shutdown for <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre will close for a day for work as part of the aquatic centre expansion.<br />
The centre will close on Monday 13 <strong>July</strong> as the power needs to be turned off to complete work. The<br />
centre was initially scheduled to be closed for six weeks during the expansion and upgrade works.<br />
However work was able to be completed during Level 3, reducing the shutdown needed to one day.<br />
The expansion will see a new 10-lane, 25-metre pool built, more than doubling the centre’s capacity and<br />
accommodating increasing demand from aquafitness, casual swimming, deep water and other activities.<br />
The structure of the new pool has been completed<br />
with work now starting on the building surrounding it.<br />
The new pool is due to open in March 2021 and<br />
work to upgrade the changing rooms, staff and<br />
public areas and existing leisure pool is due to be<br />
completed by November 2021.<br />
The first walls have also started going up at the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Health Hub and work is continuing on Te<br />
Ara Ātea, the Rolleston Town Centre, and the Foster<br />
Park indoor courts.<br />

Gardening<br />
Don’t let frost get to<br />
your pruned roses<br />
THERE IS more written about<br />
pruning roses than almost any<br />
other aspect of their care.<br />
Yet, why do we prune our<br />
roses?<br />
Here are a few key reasons:<br />
Encourage new growth and<br />
more blooms. Maintain the<br />
health of the rose by removing<br />
old wood, improve air circulation<br />
within the bush.<br />
Maintain a specific shape,<br />
especially for climbing and pillar<br />
roses, and those that are<br />
pegged down.<br />
Not all roses have the same<br />
need to be pruned, some just<br />
need an annual “going over’’<br />
after flowering to remove the<br />
dead wood. Other roses, most<br />
notably the highly bred hybrid<br />
teas and floribundas, need regular<br />
pruning. If you garden on<br />
a light, sandy soil then prune<br />
your roses only lightly as they<br />
will not be able to support the<br />
vigorous new growth that hard<br />
pruning encourages.<br />
The time to tackle pruning<br />
is in the winter while they are<br />
dormant, before they burst into<br />
growth. In some areas of New<br />
Zealand, and in some seasons,<br />
CIRCULATION: Removing old wood improves air circulation<br />
and encourages new growth.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
there may seem to be almost<br />
no period of dormancy and<br />
so you must choose your<br />
moment carefully. So do not<br />
prune when there is still a risk<br />
of severe frost, as any new<br />
growth will be frosted and<br />
die back.<br />
You will have to cut back to<br />
the next bud, reducing the plant<br />
further.<br />
Most bush roses flower on the<br />
current year’s growth.<br />
A hard prune will produce<br />
more vigorous new growth.<br />
Remove the oldest cane on the<br />
plant; this keeps the bush fresh<br />
and vigorous.<br />
Then reduce thick, strong<br />
stems by about half their height.<br />
Thin canes need to be cut back<br />
to one-third their height.<br />
Try to keep the centre of the<br />
plant open. A mess of spindly,<br />
twiggy growth in the middle<br />
of the plant restricts light and<br />
air circulation, encouraging<br />
disease.<br />
If you like picking<br />
your own<br />
fruit – try feijoas<br />
FEIJOAS ARE an excellent plant<br />
in the home garden.<br />
They make a great fruiting<br />
hedge, attract birds to the garden<br />
and are easy to grow with the<br />
added bonus of delicious fruit.<br />
Feijoas are an attractive evergreen<br />
plant ranging from a shrub<br />
to a small tree, which will grow<br />
between 2-4m in height.<br />
They are easily trimmed and<br />
maintained and have a green leaf,<br />
which is grey underneath. Feijoas<br />
have pohutukawa-like flowers in<br />
December and fruit mainly from<br />
April to June.<br />
Feijoas generally prefer a warm<br />
place in the garden and young<br />
plants need protection. The soil<br />
needs to be well drained and rich<br />
in organic matter.<br />
The plants shouldn’t be allowed<br />
to dry out in the summer months<br />
as this will hamper fruit production.<br />
Feijoas are heavy feeders. Feed<br />
them with sheep pellets and a<br />
high-nitrogen general garden fertiliser<br />
in late winter. Also apply a<br />
slow-release fertiliser throughout<br />
the growing season.<br />
TASTY: Feijoas prefer a warm<br />
spot in the garden.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
The self-fertile varieties need<br />
only one plant to fruit. Non<br />
self-fertile varieties need other<br />
varieties planted near them, so<br />
it pays to plant three or more for<br />
heavy crops.<br />
They will fruit on their own but<br />
the crop is minimal. Feijoas fruit<br />
on new season’s wood, so prune<br />
for shape without removing all<br />
new wood off the plant.<br />
Feijoas can be made into many<br />
interesting shapes with pruning.<br />
You can train them as a small<br />
tree with a single trunk and then<br />
branch from there, and they<br />
make great hedge plants.<br />
Feijoas are a must for anyone<br />
who enjoys picking their own fruit.<br />

With the shortest day passed,<br />
now is a great time to plant garlic.<br />
Garlic is a crop that is easy to grow, and has many health benefits as well as adding<br />
fantastic flavour to our food. All you need is a pot or container, some top-quality<br />
growing mix and a sunny spot somewhere around the house.<br />
• When choosing which cloves to plant, make sure you choose the larger ones<br />
• Split the garlic heads into individual cloves<br />
• Make a hole about 5cm deep, and 10cm apart<br />
• Once the shoots have popped up, add a layer of mulch to protect the bulbs<br />

Dairy women’s<br />
support group<br />
Dairy Women’s Network is a kiwi notfor-profit<br />
organisation, built on their<br />
famous can-do attitude. The network’s<br />
focus is to create occasions for women to<br />
get off-farm and connect with others.<br />
The network develops, facilitates and<br />
promotes events and initiatives for<br />
members to acquire industry-based<br />
knowledge and soft skills. Their webinars,<br />
workshops and events have been<br />
developed by women in the industry to<br />
suit busy lifestyles, so they understand<br />
their member’s situation as a farmer or<br />
professional, a wife and a mother. While<br />
the group is a Women’s Network, one<br />
of its core values is inclusivity, and they<br />
welcome men too!<br />
Events are run all around the country<br />
and the nationwide network of members<br />
is supported by volunteer regional leaders<br />
in 35 different regional groups, who<br />
coordinate activities and events in each<br />
region. Workshop topics range from<br />
on-farm skills such as herd reproduction,<br />
calf rearing, shed hygiene and mastitis<br />
management to personal development<br />
such as creating a positive culture on the<br />
farm and human resources. The Dairy<br />
Women’s Network also covers businessfocused<br />
topics, such as payroll and farm<br />
accommodation. They make sure that all<br />
their workshops are delivered in a fun and<br />
interactive style, and a supportive learning<br />
environment is created.<br />
Dairy Women’s Network tries to record<br />
sessions as webinars so they can build<br />
up year-round content for members. The<br />
conference is usually held once a year in<br />
different locations around the country and<br />
has recently moved the <strong>2020</strong> conference<br />
online. The conference gives dairy<br />
women a chance to learn, connect and<br />
inspire each other, and is also where the<br />
recipients of two awards are announced:<br />
Fonterra Dairy Woman of the Year and<br />
Regional Leader of the Year.<br />
The Dairy Women’s Network enjoys<br />
collectively celebrating and supporting<br />
its members and everything they do.<br />

Government provides funding<br />
boost for catchment improvements<br />
The Ministry for Primary Industries<br />
(MPI) is providing an extra $3 million<br />
to the New Zealand Landcare Trust<br />
to improve New Zealand’s waterways<br />
and promote sustainable management<br />
practices.<br />
The funding from the Productive and<br />
Sustainable Land Use Programme will<br />
help the NZ Landcare Trust to employ up<br />
to seven new staff, to provide vital services<br />
across the country to clean up waterways<br />
and promote more sustainable practices.<br />
“This new funding will increase the<br />
Trust’s national coverage and enable<br />
them to employ a new team of regional<br />
coordinators to work with the farming<br />
community to integrate sustainable land<br />
and water management practices into<br />
their farming systems,” says MPI’s Deputy<br />
Director-General Agricultural and<br />
Investment Services, Karen Adair.<br />
The new funding continues the<br />
Government’s support to farmers and<br />
others to help them make environmental<br />
and freshwater improvements.<br />
“The assistance from the government<br />
to support both economically and<br />
environmentally sustainable farming<br />
practices is very encouraging and a<br />
strong endorsement of our work with<br />
the primary sector,” said the Trust’s Chief<br />
Executive, Dr Nick Edgar.<br />
“This is a critical time for farmers to<br />
up their game and have a lasting positive<br />
impact on our freshwater ecosystems.<br />
The funding will effectively double the<br />
Trust’s on-ground network of regional<br />
coordinators supporting farmers across<br />
New Zealand,’’ Dr Edgar said.<br />
Ms Adair said New Zealand’s food and<br />
fibre products were in demand globally<br />
because of their high quality and our<br />
strong farming and growing credentials.<br />
“Producing and exporting high-value<br />
products will be vital to New Zealand’s<br />
recovery from COVID. By putting more<br />
resources into helping our farmers and<br />
growers to integrate more sustainable<br />
practices, we can clean up our waterways,<br />
and also create jobs and boost our<br />
agriculture export and tourism offerings,”<br />
she said.<br />
The New Zealand Landcare Trust is<br />
an independent charitable organisation<br />
that focuses on effective catchment<br />
management to improve land and water<br />
quality. They currently support around 75<br />
catchment groups nationwide.<br />

cars using Indian labour and<br />
technology.<br />
One model that comes off the<br />
Manesar manufacturing plant is<br />
Baleno, a mid-size hatchback that<br />
has been sold in New Zealand in<br />
its latest iteration since 2<strong>01</strong>7.<br />
The Baleno lands here in<br />
two variations, effectively<br />
there are two engine options,<br />
there’s a four-cylinder 1.4-litre<br />
naturally-aspirated engine and<br />
a turbocharged 1-litre threecylinder<br />
unit. Both variants<br />
– GLX and RS – have just had a<br />
mid-cycle makeover.<br />
The changes are only minor<br />
and mostly cosmetic, there’s a<br />
new grille and front bumper, new<br />
seat upholstery and minor trim<br />
changes. Suzuki also claims ride<br />
comfort enhancements and lower<br />
noise levels.<br />
The evaluation car was the RS<br />
variant, it also gets new wheels<br />
and LED headlamps. The RS is<br />
priced at $25,490 which makes<br />
wallet-friendly buying, but if you<br />
really want a Baleno and that was<br />
just a touch out of reach, the GLX<br />
variant sits at $20,750 ($21,990<br />
auto).<br />
For my money I’d be an RS<br />
buyer, not only are the power<br />
outputs higher – 82kW and<br />
160Nm against 68kW and<br />
130Nm – but I’ve got a penchant<br />
for three-cylinder engines. I<br />
once had a Star Media pool car<br />
for personal use and it was an<br />
Alto, the car that essentially<br />
started Suzuki’s three-pot engine<br />
programme.<br />
However, today’s engine is a<br />
far different proposition, it’s a lot<br />
smoother than ever before, and<br />
the harmonics which characterise<br />
the layout are all but engineered<br />
out of the vehicle.<br />
One of the reasons I like the<br />
configuration is the hearty<br />
torque structure, and if you add<br />
in turbocharged boost there is<br />
FUNCTIONAL: Under the Baleno’s liftback lies a healthy load<br />
space.<br />
SUZUKI BALENO RS: Honest, turbocharged three-cylinder engine.<br />
decisive throttle response from<br />
all points in the rev band. A lot<br />
of that is to do with the area at<br />
which torque is delivered, all<br />
of the way from 1500rpm to<br />
4000rpm, and it stops not that<br />
far distant from the point of peak<br />
power at 5000rpm.<br />
All those figures considered,<br />
there is a feisty feel underfoot,<br />
and with the Baleno weighing<br />
in light at just one tonne,<br />
the power-to-weight ratio is<br />
substantial.<br />
It’s enough to propel the Baleno<br />
to 100km/h in 10.5sec, and it<br />
will scamper through a highway<br />
overtake (80-120km/h) in 6sec.<br />
Drive is channelled to the<br />
front wheels through a six-speed<br />
automatic transmission, and it<br />
is a beauty with quick, smooth<br />
shifts. For those who like to<br />
be involved in the gearchange<br />
process, steering wheel-mounted<br />
paddle shifters provide a little bit<br />
more of that sporty feel.<br />
While the Baleno RS<br />
excites with its under-bonnet<br />
performance, it is still the fuel<br />
miser you would expect from<br />
Suzuki. It claims a 5.2-litre per<br />
100km (53mpg) combined<br />
cycle average. During my time<br />
with the test car the fuel usage<br />
readout constantly listed around<br />
• Price – Suzuki Baleno RS,<br />
$25,490<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
3995mm; width, 1745mm;<br />
height, 1470mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
998cc, 82kW,<br />
160Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 10.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.2l/100km<br />
6l/100km (47mpg), while an<br />
instantaneous figure of 4l/100km<br />
(70mpg) is achievable on a<br />
highway cruise with the engine<br />
turning over at just 1950rpm at<br />
100km/h.<br />
At all speeds the Baleno is<br />
comfortable and feels controlled.<br />
Steerage is informative while<br />
body balance in a corner is<br />
controlled. The suspension is<br />
relatively simplistic, but it does<br />
contain the ruts and bumps well<br />
and equips itself when loaded if<br />
a corner is presented a bit on the<br />
quick side.<br />
There’s been a lot of talk lately<br />
about vehicle safety, and I’m<br />
pleased to report that the Baleno<br />
has a five-star Australasian New<br />
Car Assessment Program rating.<br />
My wife always asks me how<br />
many air bags does any particular<br />
car have, and in the Baleno’s case<br />
there are six.<br />
The Baleno also gets a high<br />
level of kit for convenience.<br />
There’s satellite navigation,<br />
cruise control and speed limiter,<br />
keyless entry and ignition. Many<br />
of the control systems can be<br />
navigated through a central<br />
screen display, it also functions as<br />
rear view camera and will allow<br />
smart phone capability through<br />
Apple Car Play and Android<br />
Auto.<br />
That’s a lot of kit for a $25k car,<br />
and with the changes Suzuki has<br />
made through the facelift makes<br />
it even more appealing.<br />
The Baleno is just one car in<br />
a raft of fuel-friendly, affordable<br />
cars from the brand. Suzuki has a<br />
high-profile here in Canterbury<br />
with the cost-free motoring<br />
programme offered through the<br />
Christchurch dealership.<br />
Many <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> readers<br />
will be Suzuki owners, and for<br />
those thinking of trading up,<br />
choosing between the two Baleno<br />
models may be a difficult choice,<br />
but either would be a rewarding<br />
experience once behind the<br />
wheel.<br />
From family cars to work trucks and<br />
supercars to fixer-uppers.<br />

of the site.<br />

Hi. It’s Grant and Kathy here, the owners of FreshChoice Prebbleton. We just wanted to introduce ourselves, and welcome you to<br />
our store.<br />
Basically, we live locally and we think we’ve got a pretty good idea about what people in our community need in a supermarket. As a<br />
result, you’ll find a wide range of everyday essentials, and those little treats that make life that wee bit more enjoyable!<br />
Having said that, if there’s something you need that we don’t currently stock, please let us know – there’s every chance we’ll be able to<br />
get it in for you.<br />
Being locals also means we know our region’s leading farmers and growers. And that, in turn, helps ensure we always have the best cuts<br />
of meat and the freshest seasonal produce available.<br />
If you need any assistance as you wander around our store, please don’t hesitate to ask one of our friendly team – they’re always<br />
happy to help! We are the FreshChoice.<br />
Grant & Kathy Hatton<br />
0wners, FreshChoice Prebbleton<br />
COMMUNITY FUND<br />
We’re proud to support the local community that our store serves, that’s<br />
why we’ll make regular charitable grants as part of the FreshChoice<br />
Community Fund.<br />
If you are a community group such as a club, school or trust, or an<br />
individual with a community project underway and just need a hand,<br />
you could be chosen as our local monthly recipient. Each month, we’ll<br />
donate at least $500 and throughout the year there are Double Up<br />
Months, where we’ll donate $1,000. Find out more at www.freshchoice.<br />
co.nz/about/community/<br />
AGED MEAT & GOURMET BUTCHERY<br />
We will be offering a range of dry cured meat, gourmet cuts & small goods as well as fish fresh from the market daily.<br />
There will also be a Himalayan pink salt chamber creating exceptional mouth-watering dry-aged cuts. Talk to our in-store<br />
butchers to add your very own meat cut to the chamber, and then each time you visit, take<br />
a slice from your aged-delicacy.<br />
PS spots will fill up fast, so get your name on the list.<br />
WING RIB ROAST GIVEAWAY<br />
To celebrate the opening of our Himalayan pink salt Aged Meat chamber, we’re<br />
giving away a Wing Rib Roast to the first 12 people who buy a Whole Sirloin On<br />
The Bone and age it in our chamber. You can age the Wing Rib or the Sirloin for<br />
up to 180 days and visit at any stage to get a slice- our butchers will cut to your<br />

What to ask a real estate agent<br />
Selling a home is a big life decision, both<br />
financially and emotionally. The journey<br />
can be a roller coaster, which is why<br />
finding a licensed real estate agent you feel<br />
comfortable with is so important.<br />
“Remember, you’re looking for the<br />
person who you’re going to trust to sell<br />
what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their<br />
success (or failure) will have a marked<br />
impact on your new life plan,” says Kevin<br />
Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real<br />
Estate Authority (REA).<br />
New Zealand has about 15,000 real estate<br />
agents who help people navigate big-deal<br />
transactions every day.<br />
“The trick is to find the one that will be<br />
best for your situation,” he says.<br />
“If you’re going to get the best out of<br />
your real estate agent – and they’re going<br />
to get the best price and<br />
conditions for your property<br />
– then you need to put the<br />
work in before you sign with<br />
anyone. That means basing<br />
your decision on more<br />
than gut feel or the fact that<br />
their office was easy to park<br />
outside,” he says.<br />
You need someone who<br />
understands what it takes to<br />
sell a property like yours<br />
and a proven track<br />
record to show for it.<br />
You also need to feel<br />
comfortable with<br />
them personally<br />
– if you don’t<br />
find them pleasant to deal with then buyers<br />
may not enjoy the experience either.<br />
If you’re not sure how to get the ball<br />
rolling, ask the agent the following<br />
questions:<br />
- What do you know about my<br />
neighbourhood? How are sales in this area<br />
and who is buying?<br />
- Do you work independently or with<br />
other agents?<br />
- What kind of advertising or marketing<br />
do you use – and which ones will work for<br />
my property? What extra marketing costs<br />
will I have to pay?<br />
- What are your commission rates? Are<br />
you open to negotiation?<br />
- Do you have testimonials or references<br />
from people whose properties you have<br />
sold in the last three months?<br />
- What do you recommend I do to<br />
prepare my home for sale?<br />
- Why should I hire you?<br />
Asking these questions helps you<br />
form a picture of the agent’s experience,<br />
knowledge and how they structure their<br />
business.<br />
“These days you’d expect an agent’s<br />
marketing plan to have an online focus<br />
that includes major property websites and<br />
social media. Find out what the marketing<br />
plan will cost and ask them to explain their<br />
rationale – you’re the one paying for this<br />
service, after all,” Lampen-Smith explains.<br />
Remember that you can negotiate on the<br />
marketing costs and commission – don’t be<br />
afraid to ask the agents if they are interested<br />
in an incentive-based commission, where<br />
they will earn more commission if they sell<br />
your property above a certain price.<br />
Once you’ve found the agent you think<br />
you’d like to work with, check them out<br />
on the Real Estate Authority’s (REA)<br />
online public register, which will tell you<br />
if the agent holds a current licence. This is<br />
important because it’s illegal to carry out<br />
real estate agency work without a licence<br />
and if you deal with an unlicensed person<br />
the REA will be unable to help you if things<br />
go wrong.<br />
When you’ve decided on an agent, the<br />
terms and conditions of your contract will<br />
be set out in an agency agreement that<br />
you both sign. This is a legal document,<br />
so make sure you get advice from a lawyer<br />
and that you understand your rights and<br />
responsibilities.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Light, bright and striking<br />
Perfect in a rural or urban setting, Benchmark<br />
Homes’ Milns Park showhome oozes appeal.<br />
The home is orientated to capture sun throughout<br />
the day, due to generous windows which reach right<br />
up to the raked ceiling.<br />
“Most Kiwis love the sun and this home has been<br />
built to maximise that,” explains Benchmark Homes’<br />
Operations Manager, Sam Evans.<br />
Designed for modern family living, the 226sqm four<br />
bedroom home is equally suitable for couples wanting<br />
a little more space.<br />
A large Cedar hardwood deck ties in seamlessly<br />
with the striking Cedar slats at the entryway. This<br />
deck is also accessed via two triple panelled, double<br />
sliders in the living area.<br />
The home has a family living area and separate<br />
retreat room. The décor and colours in the latter,<br />
embody a restful, relaxing mood.<br />
Split strip windows in the kitchen, bring in the<br />
morning sun, making a warm inviting room in which<br />
to breakfast. In warmer weather, one might also dine<br />
alfresco on a rear deck, accessed through a third slider<br />
from this living zone.<br />
A perfect family and cook’s kitchen, the TriStone<br />
bench top (made by Trends Kitchens in Christchurch)<br />
is complemented by black satin-finish cabinetry and<br />
textured planks. Kitchen appliances include: a 900mm<br />
Smeg gas cooktop and double oven, and dishwasher.<br />
There is also space for a double refrigerator.<br />
The master bedroom has a slider out to its own deck<br />
with garden beyond; a spacious walk-in robe; and<br />
an ensuite with a difference. A walk-through shower<br />
leads to a standalone bath, providing one really<br />
beautiful and luxurious wet area. There is also a larger<br />
than usual 1500wide vanity augmented with dark<br />
tiles. Under-tile heating add the finishing touch.<br />
A main bathroom and separate toilet service the<br />
other three bedrooms.<br />
The home has a simple monopitch roofline, with<br />
Integra lightweight concrete panel façade and James<br />
Hardie Stria Weatherboard panel cladding, giving it<br />
contemporary appeal. Its architectural design can be<br />
adapted to a smaller or larger home.<br />
“You can take off a bedroom or living room to easily<br />
reduce the home’s size to say 190sqm, or make it<br />
larger by moving a wall out,” advises Sam.<br />
Sam says viewer response to the showhome has<br />
been very positive. Many viewers love both the design<br />
and interior décor, from the colours through to<br />
features like the linen shade curtains. No wonder the<br />
team at Benchmark love this home and spending time<br />
there with clients.<br />
Benchmark Homes’ Milns Park showhome can<br />
be found at 12 Whitburn Avenue, in Halswell. It is<br />
open Mondays to Fridays from 9am until 5pm, and<br />
on Saturdays and Sundays form 12noon until 4pm.<br />
