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

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

Date set for
Hororata Highland Games
ANOTHER MAJOR event
in the district will go ahead
as normality starts to return
following Covid-19.
The Hororata Highland
Games will take place on November
7.
Hororata Community
Trust executive officer Cindy
Driscoll said
organising
one of the
first major
events to be
confirmed
for the region
has not been
easy.
Cindy Driscoll
“Planning
an event with
constantly changing Covid-19
levels and guidelines is a challenge
but our community has
never backed away from a challenge.
“A decade ago, we designed
the Hororata Highland Games
to help our community recover
following the Canterbury
earthquakes. Now 10 years on,
the games will once again be a
shining light as we overcome the
trials of Covid-19.”
The announcement follows
the confirmation of other major
events for the district.
Selwyn Sounds will return to
the Lincoln Domain on March
6 next year and the Selwyn
Spring Show will take place on
October 17 at the Ellesmere
Showgrounds.
Ms Driscoll said the support
of their suppliers and sponsors is
what gave them the confidence
to move ahead with the games.
“There is a real feeling from
every aspect of ‘we will do what
it takes’ to make the games a
success.”
The Hororata Highland
Games attracts 10,000 people
each year with about 500
competitors in Scottish events
including the caber tossing,
highland dancing and pipe band
competitions.
A team of 220 volunteers

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

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

public knowledge exactly what
funds are coming in and what is
going out.”
Templeton Residents’ Association
chairwoman Jolene Eager
said the group spent all of the
$40,000 raised during the initial
hearing process.
They were unable to financially
support Mr Bain’s appeal.
Fulton Hogan was given
permission to develop a 170ha
site between Dawsons, Jones,
Maddisons and Curraghs Rds.
A trio of commissioners has
previously dismissed objections
the quarry could be detrimental
to the health and livelihoods of
nearby residents and businesses.
The quarry could open in
2022. If it does, it could produce
more than half a million tonnes
of gravel a year over the next 40
years.
Proposed mine expansion
subject of meeting
• By Devon Bolger
RESIDENTS WILL gather in
Glentunnel tomorrow to discuss
their opposition to a proposed
expansion of a nearby coal mine.
Bathurst Coal Ltd has applied
to expand its opencast coal mine,
known as Canterbury Coal
Mine, at Bush Gully Rd, near
Coalgate, by 18ha.
Siana Fitzjohn lives near
Darfield and has organised the
meeting. She said the idea is to
discuss the mine and its impacts.
“The meeting agenda will
probably be flexible depending
on who shows up and what they
wish to discuss.”
An Environment Canterbury
spokeswoman said they are
not yet able to confirm exact
numbers of submissions they
have received on the expansion
proposal but it is about 646.
The majority of the submissions
are opposing the expansion.
The spokeswoman said the
date for a hearing is yet to be
set but it is required to be held
within 75 days of the close of
submissions meaning it will be
no later than September 2.
ECan and the district council
received an application to
increase the opencast coal mine

Psychiatrist doubles as comedian
• By Devon Bolger
BY DAY Joanna Prendergast
helps people struggling with
mental health but at night her
personality transforms on stage
to bring joy to people through
laughter.
The Prebbleton resident decided
to try her hand at comedy
at the age of 48. Three years later
and she is debuting her solo
show to raise money for women’s
refuge.
Ms Prendergast works as a
psychiatrist but says she tried
comedy after a push from a
comedy producer.
“I have been a performer since
I was a child but decided to go to
medical school rather than drama
school. A comedy producer
suggested I try stand-up comedy
when I was acting in a TV show
pilot a few years ago.
“I like a challenge so I gave it
a go and haven’t stopped since.
It’s an amazing feeling to have
a room of people having a great
time and laughing at your jokes.”
Since starting comedy, Ms
Prendergast has had a lot of
success.
She placed third in the South
Island Raw Comedy Quest in
2018 and has also twice been
comedy roast battle champion
and won three awards at the
2019 Christchurch Comedy
carnival.
Ms Prendergast has two teenage
children and has lived in
Prebbleton for 16 years.
She said she loves the country
lifestyle so close to the city.
She was disappointed the New
Zealand International Comedy
Festival show was cancelled this
year but found a silver lining by
spending the lockdown finishing
writing her debut solo show The
Cool Mum.
The show will be held at Little
Andromeda Theatre in Oxford
Tce on Friday. It is a parody of
a celebrity parenting seminar

Prebbleton’s Joanna

focusing on her own parenting
experiences.
She said her on-stage persona
Jo Ghastly developed from how
she imagines her children view
her, as embarrassing, clueless
and thinking she is cool.
“My teenagers both perform
in some video clip skits in
the show, along with some
of their friends. My kids and
other young people seem to
particularly enjoy my comedy as
it’s very relatable to them. If my
16-year-old son smirks at a joke,
I know I’ve hit solid gold.”
As a psychiatrist, Ms Prendergast
says she takes professional
boundaries very seriously.
“Especially around respecting
mental health. For this reason,
I perform comedy as a persona
and avoid mental health content
in my comedy.
“Most of the content is lighthearted
jokes but there are some
truthful, take-home messages
about parenting and life in the
show.”
Women’s Refuge will receive
25 per cent of the ticket sales for
Ms Pendergast’s show.
“As a psychiatrist, I work with
many women who have been in
abusive situations and have been
supported by Women’s Refuge.
“Supporting women to get
away from abuse and to protect
their children from abuse is
one of the most important ways
we can reduce developmental
trauma and long-term mental
health challenges.”
There will also be a donation
bucket for Women’s Refuge set
up after the show.
As well at the show on Friday,
Ms Prendergast is also planning
a second show on September 11,
as well as on July 13 in Wanaka
and July 15 in Queenstown.
•Tickets cost $20 – $5

not working. They can

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

Southern ChiropraCtiC
3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs)
Three important reasons
for seeking Southern
Chiropractic care –
and how it can help
Our spines are delicate yet important
central structures designed to
support the human body and
allow for physical movement and
functionality.
By ensuring better spinal alignment
through care at Halswell’s Southern
Chiropractic you can better protect
against potential back injury and
increase the capacity of your body to
heal itself naturally. There are many
benefits to regular chiropractic care
that will improve your overall general
health and wellbeing both now, and in
the future.
The three main benefits are:
Pain and stress relief: When your
spine is not working freely and your
vertebrae may be misaligned it is
likely that your body will not feel 100
per cent. Some may experience a
mild or dull ache, others tightness
in muscles and perhaps a strong
sharper pain. For most individuals,
this can also cause mental stress
as your attention is drawn to the
symptoms experienced. Treatment
by Southern Chiropractic will help
balance your body and provide
much-needed stress relief, whilst
restoring you back to your better,
more active self.
Better posture: Over time, and
largely as a result of sedentary
lifestyles, our spines can be exposed
to added physical pressure. Taking
a little time to engage in regular
exercise and chiropractic care can
do wonders to help align abnormal
curving or tilting in your spine and
improve your overall body posture.
Improved motion: As chiropractic
care can lessen tension in your spine
and allow the nerves to communicate
without interference, you could
benefit from an improved sense of
motion and increase in energy. When
your body no longer has to fight
against constant aches and pains,
it will better support movement and
physical activity.
Southern Chiropractic care consists
of initial orthopaedic assessment
to determine areas of dysfunction
within the spine (neck and back)
followed by treatment designed to
facilitate the restoration of normal
function to that area. Methods used
include a combination of soft tissue
treatment (massage), low level laser
therapy and spinal manipulation or
mobilisation.
Importance of healthy lifestyles
Alongside chiropractic treatment, an
active and healthy lifestyle will help
to maintain your back health and
decrease the likelihood of excess
weight, strain and resulting injury.
Take up our
Amazing Midwinter
New Patient Special.
First patient visit $60 for full
assessment and treatment.
Valid for online bookings only, from 1st July to 14th July
Adopting a balanced diet that is
nutrient and vitamin-rich will also
contribute to a wholesome lifestyle.
Regular exercise, whether walking,
swimming, yoga or any other sport
for that matter, will be beneficial for
your body, spine and mind.
So, if this sounds like you take the
time to see Andre at Southern
Chiropractic.
Appointments can be booked
online through their website,
www.southernchiropractic.co.nz,
or phone Andre on 03 322 1432.
Southern Chiropractic is located
at 3 Kennedys Bush Road with car
parking outside the door.

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

Although originally thought
to have made it here on its own

also brought to New Zealand for
scale insect biological control as
early as 1889.
Adults are dark brown to

Driver ‘excited’ by first harness race win
• By Josh Smith
IT MAY have been a wet winter’s
day at Addington Raceway on
Sunday, but it will live long in the
memory of Jo Buckland-Stevens.
The amateur driver was having
just her second
raceday outing
and was able
to pick-up
her first win

Bruce Negus.
Buckland-Stevens bided her
time at the rear of the field for
the majority of the race before
electing to press her claims fourwide
down the back-straight.
Glacier Coaster stuck on
resolutely and was able to
pick-up her rivals in the homestraight
to record a half-length
victory over Changearound, with
a further 1-1/2 lengths back to
Flame Lady in third.
The win was made even more
satisfying for Buckland-Stevens
given the mare is owned by the
estate of Mike Stratford, who
died earlier this month.
“It was pretty exciting to get
my first win,” Buckland-Stevens
said.
“I was just trying to be really

positive today. I knew she was a
lovely horse to drive. I just tried
to listen to the instructions and
go out there and have fun.
“She is just such a nice horse to
drive and she is such an honest
mare. I was ecstatic to drive her
for Mike, especially on a special
day with his memorial.
“It was also great to get the win
for Bruce and Colleen (Negus)
and what they have done for me
over the past few years.”
Bruce Negus was instrumental

horse) I was addicted.’

in Buckland-Stevens’
involvement in harness racing,
having introduced her to the
sport three years ago, and he
has encouraged her to pursue an
amateur driver’s licence.
“We own a garage out at
Burnham (Challenge) and
Bruce is one of our customers,”
Buckland-Stevens said.
“He came in about three years
ago and Brendan (husband) and
a few of the other mechanics
went into shares in one of his
horses.
“I thought I would go and
check the horse out and I ended
up helping brush all the horses
and learnt how to gear up.
“One day Bruce said: ‘Did I
want to jump in the bike and it
all started from there. As soon
SPORT
as I did (drive a horse) I was
addicted and then I started on
the road towards an amateur

Glacier Coaster has become
one of Buckland-Stevens’
favourite horses at Negus’ stable,
alongside She’s Allthe Craze
who finished runner-up later on
the card behind the Colin and
Julie DeFilippi-trained Midnight
Assassin.
“Glacier Coaster is just an
honest mare to drive, I like
her, and She’s Allthe Craze,”
Buckland-Stevens said.
“It’s a shame we don’t get
to drive them because I like
the trotters and she is just an
amazing horse to drive.”
Buckland-Stevens is enjoying
her time out on the track on
raceday and said the only goal
she has at this stage is to improve
on her driving abilities.
“I am just trying to drive
horses to their capability
and listen to the trainer,” she
said.
“Next season I would like to
get as many drives as I can and
just continue to improve my
driving skills.”

Wine
A wealth of fine pinot noirs
• By Mark Henderson
KIWIS ARE blessed with easy
access to a wealth of great pinot
noir, much of it from Otago.
It can be easy to overlook the
raft of pinot noirs that
are produced north of these parts.
Marlborough and North
Canterbury have double the
area of Central Otago devoted
to pinot noir grapes and,
while a swag of that goes into
bubbles production, the volume
remaining often means that
pricing is very fair, as seen in
today’s selection.
2019 Hunter’s Offshoot
Marlborough
Price: $24.99
Rating: Excellent
Attractive nose with red fruits,
raspberry dusty gravel, earthiness,
a liquorice-like hint, wild
herbs later. Juicy, bright fruit,
crunchiness and grainy tannins,
leading to a long, silky juniper
and wild herb-accented finish.
Lovely depth of ripe fruit and,
while youthful, there is already
good integration and balance.
Vibrant and very drinkable at a
smart price.
www.hunters.co.nz
2018 Main Divide
Price: $24.99
Rating: Very good
Graphite and charry oak lead
the nose; rich fruit here too yet a
little bound up. Lead pencil, rubber,
rich fruit meet up with powerful
tannins and racy acidity:
this feels like a lot of effort and
ingredient have gone into making
it, yet it still seems to need
time to fully integrate. Time sees
this soften and flesh out.
www.maindivide.com
2019 Jules Taylor
Marlborough
Price: $32.99
Rating: Excellent
Vibrant nose, richly fruited
with raspberry and wild herbs,
yet freshness and lift too. Red
and dark fruits frame the powerful
palate, spices, a little tamarillo
with time. Develops an appealing
sappiness and vibrancy,
which adds coolness to the long,
richly fruited close. Youthful, but
already nicely integrated with
superb drinkability, and potential
too.
www.julestaylor.com
2018 Opawa
Marlborough
Price: $28
Rating: Very good
Subtle but floral with red fruits
and tilled earth, spices with
time. There’s a little wildness
to the palate, raspberry joining
the mix along with cranberry, a
stalky nuance and chewy, grainy
tannins. A lightness and aerial
quality to this zestiness to the
palate with red fruits hanging on
the close.
www.opawawine.com
2019 Main Divide
Te Hau Reserve
North Canterbury
Price: $32.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Raspberry, dark and liqueur
fruits, oak scents and a brownpaper
nuance. With its youthful
boldness, this a real impact pinot
noir driven by powerful raspberry,
loganberry and spice before
flowing to an intriguing yet
beguiling bittersweet note on the
finish. A powerful style that will
suit fans of bigger reds; drinking
really well.
www.maindivide.com
2017 Mills Reef
Reserve
Marlborough
Price: $24.95
Rating: Very good
Fragrance and florality,
rose petal, strawberry and
wild herb, a little funkiness
with aeration. A lighter-bodied
palate showing earth/humus,
mixed berryfruits and a tangy
quality. Aeration brings the first
hints of secondary characters
on that rich, earthy backdrop. A
svelte style in the slot to enjoy
now.

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

due to the Rolleston Town Centre infrastructure upgrade. Due to the
Lowes Road and Tennyson Street intersection upgrade, Lowes Road

system and speed restrictions are also in place on Tennyson Street.

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

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

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

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

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

Engine options for trendy Suzuki Baleno
I’VE ONLY been to India once,
but once was enough to gauge the
organisational skills that country
needs to manage such a huge
population.
It’s that prowess that has
filtered down to automotive
manufacturing, Jaguar and
Land-Rover are operated under
Indian ownership and the Suzuki
Motor Corporation is one of
several manufacturers that has
seen the value in manufacturing
cars using Indian labour and
technology.
One model that comes off the
Manesar manufacturing plant is
Baleno, a mid-size hatchback that
has been sold in New Zealand in
its latest iteration since 2017.
The Baleno lands here in
two variations, effectively
there are two engine options,
there’s a four-cylinder 1.4-litre
naturally-aspirated engine and
a turbocharged 1-litre threecylinder
unit. Both variants
– GLX and RS – have just had a
mid-cycle makeover.
The changes are only minor
and mostly cosmetic, there’s a
new grille and front bumper, new
seat upholstery and minor trim
changes. Suzuki also claims ride
comfort enhancements and lower
noise levels.
The evaluation car was the RS
variant, it also gets new wheels
and LED headlamps. The RS is
priced at $25,490 which makes
wallet-friendly buying, but if you
really want a Baleno and that was
just a touch out of reach, the GLX
variant sits at $20,750 ($21,990
auto).
For my money I’d be an RS
buyer, not only are the power
outputs higher – 82kW and
160Nm against 68kW and
130Nm – but I’ve got a penchant
for three-cylinder engines. I
once had a Star Media pool car
for personal use and it was an
Alto, the car that essentially
started Suzuki’s three-pot engine
programme.
However, today’s engine is a
far different proposition, it’s a lot
smoother than ever before, and
the harmonics which characterise
the layout are all but engineered
out of the vehicle.
One of the reasons I like the
configuration is the hearty
torque structure, and if you add
in turbocharged boost there is
FUNCTIONAL: Under the Baleno’s liftback lies a healthy load
space.
SUZUKI BALENO RS: Honest, turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
decisive throttle response from
all points in the rev band. A lot
of that is to do with the area at
which torque is delivered, all
of the way from 1500rpm to
4000rpm, and it stops not that
far distant from the point of peak
power at 5000rpm.
All those figures considered,
there is a feisty feel underfoot,
and with the Baleno weighing
in light at just one tonne,
the power-to-weight ratio is
substantial.
It’s enough to propel the Baleno
to 100km/h in 10.5sec, and it
will scamper through a highway
overtake (80-120km/h) in 6sec.
Drive is channelled to the
front wheels through a six-speed
automatic transmission, and it
is a beauty with quick, smooth
shifts. For those who like to
be involved in the gearchange
process, steering wheel-mounted
paddle shifters provide a little bit
more of that sporty feel.
While the Baleno RS
excites with its under-bonnet
performance, it is still the fuel
miser you would expect from
Suzuki. It claims a 5.2-litre per
100km (53mpg) combined
cycle average. During my time
with the test car the fuel usage
readout constantly listed around
• Price – Suzuki Baleno RS,
$25,490
• Dimensions – Length,
3995mm; width, 1745mm;
height, 1470mm
• Configuration – Threecylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
998cc, 82kW,
160Nm, six-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 10.5sec
• Fuel usage – 5.2l/100km
6l/100km (47mpg), while an
instantaneous figure of 4l/100km
(70mpg) is achievable on a
highway cruise with the engine
turning over at just 1950rpm at
100km/h.
At all speeds the Baleno is
comfortable and feels controlled.
Steerage is informative while
body balance in a corner is
controlled. The suspension is
relatively simplistic, but it does
contain the ruts and bumps well
and equips itself when loaded if
a corner is presented a bit on the
quick side.
There’s been a lot of talk lately
about vehicle safety, and I’m
pleased to report that the Baleno
has a five-star Australasian New
Car Assessment Program rating.
My wife always asks me how
many air bags does any particular
car have, and in the Baleno’s case
there are six.
The Baleno also gets a high
level of kit for convenience.
There’s satellite navigation,
cruise control and speed limiter,
keyless entry and ignition. Many
of the control systems can be
navigated through a central
screen display, it also functions as
rear view camera and will allow
smart phone capability through
Apple Car Play and Android
Auto.
That’s a lot of kit for a $25k car,
and with the changes Suzuki has
made through the facelift makes
it even more appealing.
The Baleno is just one car in
a raft of fuel-friendly, affordable
cars from the brand. Suzuki has a
high-profile here in Canterbury
with the cost-free motoring
programme offered through the
Christchurch dealership.
Many Selwyn Times readers
will be Suzuki owners, and for
those thinking of trading up,
choosing between the two Baleno
models may be a difficult choice,
but either would be a rewarding
experience once behind the
wheel.
From family cars to work trucks and
supercars to fixer-uppers.

Clause 5 of the First Schedule, Resource Management Act 1991
Plan change 61 (PC61) proposes to change the Selwyn District Plan to rezone
approximately 30 hectares located east of Darfield from Rural Outer Plains to a mix of
Business 2 (17ha) and Living 1 (7ha) zone.
The change seeks to insert a development plan and associated rules into the District Plan.
If approved it would result in additional industrial development and up to 35 residential sites
at an average density of 1,950m2.
PC61 proposes amendments to the Selwyn District Plan that include:
· amending the District Planning Maps to rezone the subject land from Rural Outer Plains to
a mix of Business 2 and Living 1
· incorporating an outline development plan to coordinate and guide the future development
of the site.
The plan change request and the assessment of why it is needed can be read at Council’s
Rolleston Headquarters and can be viewed online at service centres and public libraries in
Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston or at www.selwyn.govt.nz.

all submissions, after which the Council will decide whether to reject or approve the plan
change. Any submitter who is not satisfied with the Council’s decision may then appeal to

Hi. It’s Grant and Kathy here, the owners of FreshChoice Prebbleton. We just wanted to introduce ourselves, and welcome you to
our store.
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
result, you’ll find a wide range of everyday essentials, and those little treats that make life that wee bit more enjoyable!
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
get it in for you.
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
of meat and the freshest seasonal produce available.
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
happy to help! We are the FreshChoice.
Grant & Kathy Hatton
0wners, FreshChoice Prebbleton
COMMUNITY FUND
We’re proud to support the local community that our store serves, that’s
why we’ll make regular charitable grants as part of the FreshChoice
Community Fund.
If you are a community group such as a club, school or trust, or an
individual with a community project underway and just need a hand,
you could be chosen as our local monthly recipient. Each month, we’ll
donate at least $500 and throughout the year there are Double Up
Months, where we’ll donate $1,000. Find out more at www.freshchoice.

AGED MEAT & GOURMET BUTCHERY
We will be offering a range of dry cured meat, gourmet cuts & small goods as well as fish fresh from the market daily.

giving away a Wing Rib Roast to the first 12 people who buy a Whole Sirloin On
The Bone and age it in our chamber. You can age the Wing Rib or the Sirloin for
up to 180 days and visit at any stage to get a slice- our butchers will cut to your

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

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