Carter - a great club man<br />

• By Barry Clarke<br />

DAN CARTER was the<br />

consummate professional<br />

as usual on Saturday as the<br />

‘big names draw the big<br />

crowds’ adage proved accurate<br />

yet again.<br />

Hundreds turned out for his<br />

well-publicised return to rugby<br />

at Southbridge, as he builds to<br />

a Super Rugby comeback with<br />

Canterbury rugby’s historical<br />

arch rival, Auckland, or in the<br />

<strong>2020</strong> sense – the Blues.<br />

But that seemed of no importance<br />

as the fans swooped for a<br />

glimpse of Carter, a selfie, pat<br />

on the back or a handshake –<br />

FOR SOMEONE who has all<br />

of the trappings in life that<br />

fame and fortune brings,<br />

Dan Carter’s feet are firmly<br />

on the ground.<br />

Carter has proven time<br />

and time again he is still a<br />

country boy at heart, and all<br />

round good guy.<br />

On Saturday it was no<br />

different when he returned<br />

home for a blowout with<br />

Southbridge in a bid to get<br />

match-fit for the Super<br />

Rugby campaign that lies<br />

ahead, albeit with the<br />

Blues.<br />

I suppose we can forgive<br />

him for that.<br />

There was a huge crowd,<br />

selfies were taken, and there<br />

were pats on the back and<br />

handshakes. The photo on<br />

our front page today will no<br />

doubt be a Verevodi family<br />

treasure.<br />

Those memories are<br />

priceless.<br />

Contractors seek<br />

compensation from council<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

DISRUPTION from the<br />

Covid-19 pandemic could see<br />

contractors claim hundreds<br />

of thousands of dollars in<br />

compensation from the district<br />

council.<br />

Depending on the agreements<br />

made, contractors can claim<br />

money from the<br />

party they have<br />

been hired by<br />

in compensation<br />

for time<br />

extension on a<br />

project.<br />

So far<br />

contractors of<br />

projects across<br />

Jeremy Dixon<br />

the district have made claims for<br />

a total of $795,921.<br />

Issac Construction has made a<br />

claim of $678,243 to the district<br />

council for the disruption the<br />

Covid-19 lockdown had on the<br />

infrastructure, roading and car<br />

parking aspect of the Rolleston<br />

Town Centre project.<br />

Claims have also been submitted<br />

by Apollo Projects as the<br />

contractor of the Foster Park<br />

Indoor Courts for $49,148.<br />

A claim from Downer has<br />

been made for the Lowes Rd<br />

and Tennyson St intersection<br />

upgrade project and is under<br />

negotiation. A $23,732 claim<br />

has been made for work on the<br />

Health Hub by Naylor Love.<br />

Said district council group<br />

manager property Douglas<br />

Marshall: “We expect the costs<br />

will be covered by each project’s<br />

contingency fund, but we will<br />

not be able to confirm these<br />

costs and the final breakdown of<br />

payment until closer to project<br />

completion.”<br />

Issac Construction chief<br />

executive officer Jeremy Dixon,<br />

who is also the chairman of<br />

Civil Contractors NZ’s Canterbury<br />

branch, said: “We have<br />

made a claim in line with our<br />

contract conditions in regards to<br />

not being able to work through<br />

the Covid-19 lockdown.<br />

“It now sits with the district<br />

council to review our claim,<br />

consider a response and then<br />

negotiate to get to an end game.”<br />

Said Mr Marshall: “Council<br />

Not all extensions of time have<br />

a monetary impact.<br />

Armitage Williams, the<br />

contractor of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic<br />

Centre extension and Rolleston’s<br />

new community centre and<br />

library, Te Ara Atea, will not be<br />

THE DOORS at the Darfield<br />

on Saturday morning all for a<br />

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />

said a 15-year-old was apprehended<br />

about two hours later.<br />

lollies were the only things taken<br />

but extensive damage was done<br />

to the front door.<br />

“We don’t know exactly<br />

how much yet but It will be<br />

quite expensive to fix. They are<br />

automatic glass opening doors.<br />

“They were kicked in and pried<br />

apart. It took about five or six<br />

hours to fix.”<br />

Staff from the service station<br />

were left to secure the doors on<br />

Saturday following the break-in.<br />

Broughton, Liz Brown from Te<br />

Taumutu Rūnanga and <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

will also select four recipients<br />

that represent the range of<br />

nominations and invite them to a<br />

“Once we opened in the<br />

morning the doors were left wide<br />

open so apart from being cold, it<br />

wasn’t too disruptive.”<br />

Senior Sergeant Harker said<br />

the 15-year-old, who is from the<br />

district, will appear in the Youth<br />

Court in Christchurch.<br />

Police believe the youth is the<br />

only one involved in the incident.<br />

The break-in follows a series of<br />

burglaries at building sites in the<br />

district.<br />

Nominations are open until<br />

you can pick up a nomination<br />

form at any <strong>Selwyn</strong> Library or<br />

was privileged to be involved with.<br />

“There were fantatstic things<br />

done during the lockdown and<br />

other alert levels which <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

people should be proud of,” he<br />

way to acknowledge our many<br />

community and as a nation<br />

we pulled together and looked<br />

after each other when we<br />

needed it most. Our collective<br />

strength got us through some<br />

tough times.<br />

“It’s timely to pause and<br />

celebrate our heroes, those that<br />

helped feed us, who cared for our<br />

families in need and checked in<br />

on our elderly – those that went<br />

out of their way to be kind and<br />

thoughtful.”<br />

Big attendance at mine meeting<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

A COMMUNITY meeting<br />

to discuss the controversial<br />

application to expand a mine in<br />

the Malvern Hills drew in a big<br />

crowd on Thursday.<br />

Siana Fitzjohn said about 60<br />

people were in attendance at the<br />

meeting in Glentunnel last week.<br />

The idea behind it was to<br />

discuss Bathurst<br />

Coal<br />

Ltd’s proposal<br />

to expand its<br />

opencast coal<br />

mine, known<br />

as Canterbury<br />

Coal Mine, at<br />

Siana Fitzjohn Bush Gully Rd,<br />

by 18ha.<br />

“I honestly didn’t know what<br />

to expect. I think it went very<br />

well. There were lots of different<br />

points raised and it was great to<br />

all be in one room to discuss the<br />

different facets of the issue.<br />

“It was a very constructive<br />

discussion. Overall the vibe that<br />

was created was quite a good<br />

one,” she said.<br />

Malvern Hills resident Brian<br />

Thomspon who opposed the<br />

expansion in his submission also<br />

attended the meeting.<br />

“I feel the meeting was a good<br />

open discussion and was handled<br />

well,” he said.<br />

One of the main points of<br />

discussion at the meeting was<br />

the retrospective element of the<br />

consents.<br />

Said Ms Fitzjohn: “There is<br />

some uncertainty around what<br />

is consented and what isn’t and<br />

I think that really highlights<br />

the problem of this process. We<br />

don’t actually know clearly how<br />

much [coal] has been taken out<br />

without consent.”<br />

Bathurst Coal Ltd is seeking<br />

retrospective land use consent<br />

for earthworks that already exist<br />

as well as in the future at the site.<br />

A district council’s report<br />

on the decision for public<br />

notification reads: “In 2017, the<br />

applicant [Bathurst Coal Ltd]<br />

was formally advised that resource<br />

consent was required for<br />

increased truck movements.<br />

“The resulting application for<br />

increased heavy vehicle movements<br />

was lodged in 2018. During<br />

that process, it became evident<br />

that the increase in heavy<br />

vehicle movements was directly<br />

related to the increase in the volume<br />

of coal being extracted, and<br />

that the increased mine production<br />

was not consented.”<br />

After much discussion,<br />

Bathurst Coal Ltd agreed to<br />

prepare an application for the<br />

CONTROVERSIAL:<br />

About 60 people<br />

attended the<br />

meeting in<br />

Glentunnel to<br />

discuss the<br />

expansion of the<br />

Canterbury Coal<br />

Mine last Thursday. ​<br />

expansion of the mine, it says in<br />

the report.<br />

Ms Fitzjohn says she hopes to<br />

continue the discussion with the<br />

community going forward.<br />

The application has proven<br />

controversial with 547 public<br />

submissions opposing the expansion.<br />

Bathurst Coal Ltd did not<br />

respond to questions from the<br />

Aquatic<br />

centre<br />

closure<br />

reduced<br />

THE PLANNED shut down of<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre for<br />

upgrade works has been reduced<br />

from six weeks to a day.<br />

The facility will close on <strong>July</strong> 13<br />

as the power needs to be turned<br />

off to complete the work.<br />

It was initially scheduled to be<br />

closed for six weeks during the<br />

expansion and upgrade works.<br />

However work was able to be<br />

completed during level 3, reducing<br />

the shutdown needed to one day.<br />

The expansion will see a new<br />

10-lane, 25-metre pool built,<br />

more than doubling the facility’s<br />

capacity and accommodating<br />

increasing demand from<br />

aquafitness, casual swimming,<br />

deep water and other activities.<br />

The structure of the new pool<br />

has been completed with work<br />

now starting on the building<br />

surrounding it.<br />

The new pool is due to open<br />

in March next year and work to<br />

upgrade the changing rooms,<br />

staff and public areas and existing<br />

leisure pool is due to be completed<br />

by November next year.<br />

Dan the man once again for Southbridge<br />

• From page 1<br />

Carter filled his usual No<br />

10 position as the club which<br />

nurtured him swept away West<br />

Melton 54-14 in the top of the<br />

table Coleman Shield clash.<br />

Though declaring himself a<br />

bit rusty, he was sharper than he<br />

thought, the 38-year-old having<br />

a hand in two tries and playing<br />

the full 80min. He also kicked six<br />

conversions.<br />

But any thoughts West Melton<br />

might be a little gun shy of the<br />

112-test All Black were put to rest<br />

when hooker Jack Walsh nailed<br />

him with a good old fashioned<br />

body-and-all cruncher.<br />

Carter got himself up off the<br />

ground and rejoined the fray.<br />

Water of a duck’s back. Just good<br />

hard, country rugby.<br />

“If anyone saw that game today,<br />

I’d say myself that I’m a bit rusty,”<br />

he told reporters after the match.<br />

“It’s good to make the first step<br />

in to potentially playing again.<br />

I’m not sure if I could play at Super<br />

Rugby level just yet. You leave<br />

those kinds of decisions up to the<br />

coaches.”<br />

Carter will join the Blues later<br />

in the week for the Super Rugby<br />

Aotearoa top of the table clash<br />

with the Blues at Orangetheory<br />

Stadium on Saturday.<br />

“Whether I play or not, I’m<br />

not too worried. I’ll leave that<br />

decision to (coach) Leon (Mac-<br />

Donald) and the selectors up at<br />

the Blues.”<br />

A three-times World Player of<br />

the Year and World Cup winner<br />

in 2011 and 2015, Carter spent his<br />

entire professional career in New<br />

Zealand playing for the Crusaders.<br />

He joined the Blues after stints<br />

in France and Japan, but has not<br />

played since February after Japan’s<br />

Top League was shut down<br />

due to the coronavirus pandemic.<br />

Saturday was also notable for<br />

other milestones.<br />

Carter was made an honorary<br />

life member at his last appearance<br />

for Southbridge in 2014,<br />

and after Saturday’s match he<br />

was presented with his blazer by<br />

his father Neville Carter. He also<br />

turned out for the first time since<br />

a schoolboy with his cousin Will<br />

Carter.<br />

And on another high note,<br />

former Tongan international<br />

Isileli Fine, played his 100th game<br />

for Southbridge. The big lock was<br />

Heart of Rolleston takes shape<br />

Rolleston’s new library<br />

and community centre,<br />

Te Ara Atea, is expected<br />

to be the heart of the<br />

township’s new centre.<br />

Devon Bolger reports<br />

A RANGE OF spaces and<br />

activities will be accommodated<br />

for in the building on Tennyson<br />

St which will include a modern<br />

library, meeting rooms,<br />

performance spaces, workshops<br />

and digital resources.<br />

It will also have social spaces,<br />

a community lounge area, as<br />

well as arts, culture and heritage<br />

displays and research facilities.<br />

One of the key features in the<br />

facility will be the museum-like<br />

experience which will be used<br />

throughout the facility to share<br />

the story of the district and its<br />

people, place and culture.<br />

This will be done through engaging<br />

objects and multi-media<br />

interpretive displays.<br />

Said a district council spokesman:<br />

“The building will provide<br />

a much-needed space for this<br />

community to come together,<br />

to learn, access knowledge, art<br />

and cultural heritage resources,<br />

build literacy, share stories and<br />

develop their identity and sense<br />

of connection, local pride.<br />

“The facility will include<br />

contemporary resources in a<br />

modern environment that will<br />

extend the programming and<br />

activation provision for the<br />

Rolleston Town Centre.”<br />

The name of the community<br />

centre and library, Te Ara Atea,<br />

was gifted by Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga and references an unobstructed<br />

pathway to the world<br />

of knowledge.<br />

The facility will open onto<br />

a spacious town square which<br />

will provide areas for civic and<br />

community gatherings, markets,<br />

events, performances and informal<br />

community interaction.<br />

“The area has been designed<br />

PROGRESS:<br />

Rolleston’s<br />

new library and<br />

community centre<br />

Te Ara Atea is under<br />

construction and<br />

is expected to be<br />

complete in August<br />

next year. ​<br />

so that people can move freely<br />

between the indoor environment<br />

of Te Ara Ātea and the<br />

outdoor spaces that encourage<br />

community gathering, activities,<br />

recreation and reflection.”<br />

Armitage Williams is the<br />

chosen contractor for the facility<br />

which is expected to cost $420.7<br />

million.<br />

Construction on the facility<br />

began in December last year and<br />

is expected to be complete in<br />

August next year.<br />

The former Rolleston library<br />

and community centre will be<br />

repurposed into a centre for the<br />

arts.<br />

The idea was mooted at a district<br />

council meeting in March.<br />

It would encompass purposebuilt<br />

spaces for the arts and<br />

spaces which are fully designed<br />

to meet the needs of arts activities.<br />

Consultation on the future<br />

use, capital investment requirements<br />

and operating cost<br />

implications of the Rolleston<br />

Community Centre building<br />

will be held in the 2021-31 Long<br />

Term Plan process.<br />

Police<br />

meet with<br />

builders<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

POLICE BELIEVE the message<br />

has sunk in for construction<br />

companies wanting to avoid<br />

burglaries at their building sites.<br />

A police meeting held on June<br />

30, was attended by about 30<br />

representatives of local building<br />

companies.<br />

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />

said: “We have gotten some feedback<br />

that the companies have been<br />

speaking with their tradesman and<br />

letting them know all of the safety<br />

measures they can use. I think the<br />

message has sunk in for them.”<br />

He said the main message from<br />

police is they want the building<br />

companies to report any theft<br />

and to be more preventative<br />

themselves to cut down<br />

opportunities for burglars.<br />

“Things like ensuring properties<br />

are secure, builders gear and<br />

appliances are kept out of sight<br />

and identifiable where possible in<br />

case they are stolen.”<br />

Burglaries at building sites have<br />

increased since the lifting of the<br />

lockdown.<br />

Toilets, baths and vanity units<br />

that are ready to be installed are<br />

the main items being taken.<br />

Dry <strong>July</strong> mission: Using<br />

heartbreak for good<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

JENNY Underwood’s<br />

husband Ross Hanson<br />

lost a two-and-a-half-year<br />

battle with prostate cancer<br />

in May this year.<br />

The couple were together<br />

23 years and married for<br />

10. Mr Hanson was 67.<br />

The 69-year-old of Ladbrooks<br />

is using her heartbreak<br />

for good, cutting<br />

out alcohol for Dry <strong>July</strong><br />

to raise money for other<br />

New Zealanders like her<br />

husband, who require support<br />

during their cancer<br />

treatments.<br />

She had cancer herself<br />

15 years ago and this is<br />

the second time she has<br />

participated in Dry <strong>July</strong>.<br />

Said Ms Underwood:<br />

“This year, I’m doing it<br />

because my husband succumbed<br />

to prostate cancer.<br />

He was only diagnosed<br />

two-and-a-half-years ago<br />

and just had a particularly<br />

aggressive one and he tried<br />

really hard with all sorts of<br />

alternatives as well as the<br />

standard treatments, but<br />

he lost his battle on May<br />

15.”<br />

She has raised about<br />

$1100 so far.<br />

“The response has been<br />

very humbling and, of<br />

course, I shed a tear every<br />

time someone donates, really,”<br />

she said.<br />

Ms Underwood said Mr<br />

Hanson would be very<br />

proud of her fundraising<br />

efforts.<br />

“He’d be particularly<br />

proud because once he<br />

was diagnosed he really<br />

put an awful lot of effort<br />

into trying to stay here and<br />

he also supported others,<br />

MISSION: After losing her husband to prostate cancer,<br />

you know, who were going<br />

through their various journeys<br />

with cancer, whether<br />

it was support people, or<br />

whether it was people with<br />

cancer themselves.<br />

“He’d be really pleased to<br />

see me not having a drink<br />

as well, you know, because<br />

we all know the harmful<br />

effects of alcohol,” she said.<br />

In spite of not being<br />

a huge drinker, Ms Underwood<br />

has about four<br />

glasses of wine a week and<br />

she said it has been challenging<br />

cutting drinking<br />

from her routine.<br />

“It’s been hard in a<br />

physical sense. At 6pm,<br />

it would be nice to have a<br />

glass of wine while you’re<br />

getting dinner or whatever,<br />

especially in the winter.<br />

“In terms of doing it,<br />

It’s actually made me feel<br />

stronger in myself, if you<br />

know what I mean. It’s<br />

like, I’ve got the strength to<br />

do this, to do without that<br />

glass of wine,” she said.<br />

She said her four children<br />

and Mr Hanson’s two<br />

children have supported<br />

her during her efforts to<br />

go alcohol-free and raise<br />

money.<br />

They also played a significant<br />

role in supporting<br />

Mr Hanson throughout his<br />

illness, she said.<br />

As of Monday, the 7410<br />

New Zealanders doing Dry<br />

<strong>July</strong> had raised $461,571<br />

for those affected by<br />

cancer.<br />

Plans for Hororata<br />

Reserve released<br />

RESIDENTS CAN have<br />

their say on the proposed<br />

plan for an upgrade of one<br />

of New Zealand’s s oldest<br />

reserves.<br />

The district council and<br />

Go Hororata are working<br />

with Hamish Shaw Architects<br />

and project partner<br />

Canopy Landscape Architects,<br />

to develop a master<br />

plan for the Hororata<br />

Reserve.<br />

The plan also includes a<br />

concept and location for<br />

the possible new Hororata<br />

Community Centre.<br />

The Hororata Reserve is<br />

one of the biggest and oldest<br />

reserves in the country.<br />

It is believed the land<br />

was vested to the community<br />

by the owner of<br />

Hororata Station, John<br />

Cordy, in the 1870s.<br />

Architect Hamish Shaw<br />

said: “The plan is the<br />

result of 11 months of<br />

work by the project team,<br />

including a public workshop<br />

and other discussions<br />

with the community<br />

and groups that use the<br />

reserve<br />

“The purpose of the<br />

master plan is to look<br />

forward 10 to 20 years and<br />

make sure that the reserve<br />

continues to be developed<br />

to serve the community.’<br />

Mr Shaw said completing<br />

the reserve master plan<br />

at the same time as beginning<br />

the early concept<br />

planning for the Hororata<br />

Community Centre allows<br />

them to look at the big<br />

picture.<br />

The community is<br />

invited to submit their<br />

feedback on the Hororata<br />

Reserve Master Plan<br />

through the online form<br />

at: www.selwyn.govt.nz/<br />

hororatareserve. Feedback<br />

must be submitted by<br />

Friday, <strong>July</strong> 24.

Independent member<br />

appointed to subcommittee<br />

AN independent<br />

member has been<br />

appointed to the<br />

district council’s<br />

audit and risk<br />

subcommittee for the<br />

first time.<br />

Analisa Elstob, a<br />

chartered accountant<br />

with 20 years’<br />

experience in global<br />

risk management, has been<br />

appointed for a four-year term<br />

to the subcommittee.<br />

The subcommittee provides<br />

oversight of the district council’s<br />

finances and compliance<br />

Analisa Elstob ​<br />

with legislation, policies<br />

and procedures,<br />

as well as identifying<br />

and addressing risks.<br />

Elstob is the first independent<br />

appointee<br />

to the subcommittee.<br />

The appointment<br />

of an independent<br />

member to local<br />

government audit and<br />

risk committees is strongly<br />

recommended by the Auditor<br />

General and by the Productivity<br />

Commission to provide<br />

more skills and independent<br />

advice.<br />

Elstob is a director of the<br />

Canterbury Cricket Association<br />

and chairwoman of its<br />

finance, audit and risk committee.<br />

She has also worked in<br />

executive roles at Ngāi Tahu<br />

Holdings, Central Government,<br />

and Ernst & Young.<br />

Said district council chief<br />

executive David Ward: “Ms Elstob<br />

brings a fresh view point<br />

and a wealth of skill to the<br />

position, which was important<br />

when considering the council’s<br />

finances and making sure<br />

money was spent wisely and<br />

risks to the council lowered as<br />

much as possible.<br />

“It’s a real positive for the<br />

district to have someone of<br />

such a high calibre of experience<br />

and skills coming on<br />

board to support us,” he says.<br />

“Ms Elstob will bring a fresh<br />

and independent view to the<br />

subcommittee.<br />

“She showed an in-depth<br />

knowledge of the issues<br />

the district and the council<br />

face, and will bring valuable<br />

insights into how we can<br />

improve in the way we work to<br />

manage those risks.”<br />

Paige in charge<br />

Six-year-old Paige McLeod was made the owner of a<br />

supermarket in what was a shared birthday treat.<br />

Paige spent her birthday running the West Melton Four<br />

Square store, marking the brand’s 96th anniversary.<br />

Her mother, Kylie Phaup-Stephens said it was a birthday<br />

to remember. “It was a really, really cool day. Paige was<br />

a bit shy at first but she really warmed to it and I couldn’t<br />

get her out of the shop in the end.” A Four Square<br />

spokeswoman said when they found out about Paige<br />

being their biggest fan, they decided to make it a special<br />

birthday for her.<br />

Borrowing<br />

boost for<br />

council<br />

THE DISTRICT council has<br />

received a significant boost as it<br />

battles with the financial fall out<br />

from Covid-19.<br />

The Local Government<br />

Funding Agency which finances<br />

council’s across the country has<br />

increased the amount which local<br />

authorities can borrow.<br />

The agreement means councils,<br />

like the district council, with a<br />

long-term credit rating of “A”<br />

or higher can increase their<br />

borrowing ratio of 250 per cent<br />

net debt to revenue to 300 per<br />

cent until 2022.<br />

Last week it was announced the<br />

district council has received an<br />

AA+ credit rating – equal to the<br />

highest credit rating given to any<br />

council in the country.<br />

The district council is expecting<br />

to borrow an additional $30 to<br />

$50 million this financial year to<br />

cover the costs of major projects.<br />

A district council spokesman<br />

said the amount is dependant on<br />

the speed of the capital projects<br />

programme.<br />

Earlier this year the district<br />

council sought five individual<br />

loans, each $5 million, bringing<br />

the total debt to $35.2 million.<br />

implementation lead<br />

David Murphy said in terms<br />

of visible results, the project is<br />

second to none.<br />

“This is one of the biggest<br />

bang-for-restoration-buck<br />

projects around because once<br />

the willows and weeds are controlled<br />

on the lakeshore, natural<br />

regeneration occurs.<br />

BOOST: Weed strikeforce team members on a day of weed control at Lake Ellesmere which<br />

aims to increase native vegetation in the area. ​<br />

“Native plants will have the<br />

room to grow well without<br />

having to compete with the<br />

exotic species, so at most sites<br />

there is no need for planting<br />

and the associated costs,” he<br />

said.<br />

The weed strikeforce team<br />

is funded by Environment<br />

Canterbury and has successfully<br />

targeted weeds and achieved<br />

conservation gains for Lake<br />

Ellesmere over the past two<br />

years.<br />

DOC senior biodiversity ranger<br />

Anita Spencer said weeds will<br />

also be controlled in ecologically<br />

sensitive areas of Lakeside and<br />

Harts Creek Wildlife Management<br />

Reserves.<br />

“These sites are home to some<br />

of New Zealand’s most special<br />

and secretive swamp birds,<br />

such as the australasian bitter<br />

(matuku) and marsh crake<br />

(koitareke). The weed strikeforce<br />

team will help to stop the loss<br />

of their native habitat caused by<br />

willows invading wetlands,” she<br />

said.”<br />

Between spring and<br />

autumn, when the team isn’t<br />

controlling weeds, they support<br />

the complementary one billion<br />

trees project with the aim of<br />

planting and maintaining<br />

100,000 native trees around<br />

lakeshore reserves over three<br />

years.<br />

Farming community helps raise funds<br />

for Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

THE KIRWEE Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade received support from<br />

the local farming community<br />

that raised more than $3500<br />

through the annual PGG<br />

Wrightson and Ballance Agri-<br />

Nutrients Cash for Communities<br />

programme.<br />

A barbecue was held recently<br />

bringing the farming community<br />

together to say thanks for supporting<br />

the local brigade.<br />

At the event, a cheque of $3742<br />

raised through the Cash for<br />

Communities programme was<br />

presented to Kirwee Volunteer<br />

Fire Brigade, chief fire officer,<br />

Stuart Jones.<br />

Mr Jones represents the hard<br />

work and commitment shown<br />

by the volunteer firefighters who<br />

serve the Kirwee community.<br />

He received the Queen’s Service<br />

Medal in the <strong>2020</strong> New Year’s<br />

Honours List for his services<br />

to Fire and Emergency New<br />

Zealand having been a firefighter<br />

since 1974.<br />

Mr Jones said receiving the financial<br />

boost was a great feeling,<br />

particularly as it was through the<br />

community. “It gives us the tools<br />

to provide a better service to the<br />

community when they need us.<br />

It’s all for the community.”<br />

He said the brigade was always<br />

fortunate with the high level of<br />

community involvement they<br />

receive.<br />

“The Kirwee community find<br />

out exactly what we’re funding<br />

for and they come on board and<br />

support us.”<br />

Said Kirwee farmer Andrew<br />

Brooker who attended the barbecue:<br />

“The Kirwee Fire Brigade<br />

is all run by volunteers, they’re<br />

all good enough to give up their<br />

time and leave their jobs, at all<br />

hours of the day and night, and<br />

we think it’s the least we can do<br />

to support them really.”<br />

The barbecue, held at the<br />

Kirwee Fire Brigade, had a great<br />

turnout with the local farmers<br />

who nominated the brigade attending.<br />

They were able to nominate<br />

by purchasing participating<br />

Ballance Agri-Nutrients fertiliser<br />

through PGG Wrightson and<br />

Fruitfed Supplies, earning $1<br />

per tonne for the brigade during<br />

spring 2019.<br />

Representatives from the PGG<br />

Wrightson’s Darfield store and<br />

local Ballance Agri-Nutrients<br />

staff contributed to this impressive<br />

effort, encouraging local<br />

customers to nominate the fire<br />

brigade when purchasing fertiliser<br />

during the specified time.<br />

Rural communities throughout<br />

the country can benefit<br />

from the Cash for Communities<br />

programme. The partnership<br />

formed by PGG Wrightson and<br />

Ballance Agri-Nutrients raises<br />

funds for charities and organisations<br />

who provide valuable<br />

support to rural communities<br />

nationwide.<br />

Since 2011 the programme<br />

has raised $550,000 for schools,<br />

rescue helicopters, Rural Support<br />

Trust and many other charities<br />

and organisations who play a<br />

pivotal role in their respective<br />

regions.<br />

THE TWO likely juggernauts<br />

of the Coleman Shield –<br />

Southbridge and Waihora – will<br />

do battle this Saturday for<br />

Celebrating <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

Covid heroes<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Covid heroes will be recognised in a new initiative recognising the huge efforts made by<br />

people during the lockdown period.<br />

The Council has partnered with The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> and Te Taumutu Ru¯nanga to launch <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

Covid Heroes – a way for the community to recognise the ‘amazing’ people that made a difference<br />

during the pandemic.<br />

If you know of an individual, organisation, business, charity or essential service that made an<br />

outstanding contribution to your community over the past few months you can nominate them for<br />

a <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Covid Heroes certificate.<br />

“This is an opportunity for the community to say thank you to those who went the extra mile as<br />

we dealt with COVID-19 and the lockdown,” says <strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor Sam Broughton.<br />

Anyone who lives in <strong>Selwyn</strong> can make a nomination. Every nominee will receive a certificate with<br />

their name on it thanking them for being such a great member of our community.<br />

Four recipients that represent the range of nominations will be selected to receive their certificates<br />

at a ceremony in August.<br />

For information and to make a nomination visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/heroes or pick up a form at<br />

any <strong>Selwyn</strong> Library and Service Centre.<br />

Feedback sought on plans for Hororata Reserve<br />

A proposed new plan for the Hororata Reserve has been released for people to have their say.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and Go Hororata are working with Hamish Shaw Architects and project partner<br />

Canopy Landscape Architects, to develop a Master Plan for the Hororata Reserve.<br />

The community is invited to submit their feedback on the plan through the online form at selwyn.govt.nz/<br />

hororatareserve by Friday 24 <strong>July</strong>.<br />

The plan is the result of 11 months’ work by the project team, including a public workshop and other<br />

discussions with the community and groups that use the domain, Hamish Shaw says.<br />

Video presentations and an online feedback form have been created to allow people to view the plan and<br />

engage with it in their own time.<br />

The purpose of the Master Plan is to look forward 10–20 years and make sure that the Reserve<br />

continues to be developed to serve the community, including a possible site for the planned Hororata<br />

community centre he says.<br />

The Master Plan has looked to further<br />

establish the reserve as a community hub and<br />

enhance its existing character.<br />

“The community centre will be a multi-use<br />

space which integrates into the Reserve. This<br />

is the very first step in the Community Centre<br />

design and there is still a lot more work to be<br />

done but from this, we start to see how the<br />

building could function,” Mr Shaw says.<br />

On the roads<br />

Tennyson Street is closed from 43 Tennyson Street to Markham Way due to the Rolleston Town Centre<br />

infrastructure upgrade. Due to the Lowes Road and Tennyson Street intersection upgrade, Lowes Road is<br />

one way on both sides of the intersection, with lanes open for traffic heading away from the intersection,<br />

but not towards it. A stop/go system and speed restrictions are also in place on Tennyson Street.<br />

Leeston Road and Old Bridge Road intersection is being upgraded. Traffic management is in place.<br />

Trents Road is closed heading south east away from Springs Road while upgrades are made to the<br />

sewer system.<br />

Leeston Road and Brookside Irwell Road intersection is being upgraded. The intersection is closed to<br />

traffic exiting Brookside Irwell Road and a stop/go system is in place for traffic turning from Leeston<br />

Road into Brookside Irwell Road.<br />

Repairs are being carried out on Hartleys Road, traffic management is in place.<br />

Road works are in progress on Norman Kirk Drive, with stop-go controls and lane diversions in place.<br />

Experienced, independent voice<br />

to support Council<br />

The Council has appointed an experienced, independent director to<br />

its Audit and Risk Subcommittee.<br />

Analisa Elstob, a chartered accountant with 20 years’ experience in<br />

global risk management has been appointed to the subcommittee<br />

for a four-year term.<br />

The Audit and Risk Subcommittee provides ongoing oversight<br />

of the Council’s finances, compliance with legislation, and policies<br />

and procedures, as well as identifying and addressing risk.<br />

Ms Elstob is the first independent appointee to the subcommittee.<br />

The appointment of an independent member to local government<br />

audit and risk committees is strongly recommended by the Auditor<br />

General and the Productivity Commission to provide additional skill<br />

and independent advice.<br />

Ms Elstob is a Director on the Canterbury Cricket Association and<br />

Chair of its Finance, Audit and Risk Committee. She has worked<br />

in executive roles at Ngāi Tahu Holdings, Central Government, and<br />

Ernst & Young.<br />

Council Chief Executive David Ward says Ms Elstob brings a<br />

fresh view point and a wealth of skill to the position, which was<br />

important when considering the Council’s finances, making sure<br />

money is spent wisely and risks lowered as much as possible.<br />

“It’s a real positive for the district to have someone of such a high<br />

calibre of experience and skills coming on board to support us. She<br />

has shown an in-depth knowledge of the issues we face and will<br />

bring valuable insights into how we can improve in the way we work<br />

to manage those risks.”<br />

This includes community education, the Dog Smart programme<br />

in schools, enforcement activities, operating the dog pound and<br />

providing free microchipping for the district’s dogs.<br />

If paid by 31 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2020</strong>, the discounted registration fee applicable is:<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre<br />

one-day closure<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre will close for a day next week for work as<br />

part of the aquatic centre expansion.<br />

The centre will close on Monday 13 <strong>July</strong> as the power needs to be<br />

turned off to the full complex for the work. The centre was initially<br />

scheduled to be closed for six weeks during the expansion and<br />

upgrade works. However, work was able to be completed during<br />

the Level 3 lockdown period meaning the shutdown was able to be<br />

reduced to one day.<br />

As part of our <strong>Selwyn</strong> Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to<br />

you. You can find these businesses on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory.<br />

This week we talk to Makkala Rose and Nick Noonan from Love Craft Atelier.<br />

Tucked away off State Highway 75 in Tai Tapu, Love Craft Atelier tattoo studio will have their official<br />

opening on 11 <strong>July</strong>.<br />

Owners Makkala Rose and Nick Noonan recently bought a house near Akaroa and were looking for a<br />

secluded stand-alone store close by.<br />

Makkala saw the store vacancy in Tai Tapu and remembers saying to Nick, “I want to work there”.<br />

A few months later they fitted the store with a tattoo studio in the back and gallery area in the front to<br />

sell some of their art.<br />

“It’s the perfect location. It’s a bit more off the beaten path and lots of our clients have enjoyed the fact<br />

that it’s here and out of the city,” Makkala says.<br />

The pair have worked in tattoo studios in New Zealand and around the world. For the past three years,<br />

Nick was based in Auckland while Makkala traveled around the United States and United Kingdom,<br />

returning here in October last year.<br />

Throughout their travels, they won awards for their<br />

tattoos and built up a large following on social media,<br />

widely recognised for their high end distinctive tattoo<br />

styles; Makkala in illustrative realism specialising in<br />

florals and Nick in Japanese and realism tattooing.<br />

“We’ve got people who’ve flown internationally and<br />

people that have come from all sorts of different<br />

places around New Zealand to get tattoos,” she says.<br />

Many of their travelling clients end up staying for<br />

a little holiday and as a way of supporting local,<br />

Makkala and Nick give their clients a tour guide<br />

leaflet with local cafés and activities.<br />

Tattooing is more than just a job, they say, after ten<br />

years of experience it is their ‘love craft’ and they<br />

describe it as ‘permanent fine arts’, artwork someone<br />

can carry with them forever.<br />

Restrictions no problem for<br />

pharmacy staff and customers<br />

The team at Unichem West Melton Pharmacy say they<br />

are as glad as the rest of the country to now be at Alert<br />

Level 1.<br />

“The COVID-19 lockdown meant we all had to<br />

change what we were doing,” says owner Chris Leggett.<br />

“Even though the pharmacy was still open, there<br />

were restrictions on who and how many people were<br />

allowed to come into the store.”<br />

Chris says all of these rapid changes meant that<br />

the West Melton pharmacists administered ’flu<br />

vaccinations in cars, prescriptions were delivered to<br />

homes all over the area, and other items were taken to<br />

people in their cars, with a portable EftPos machine<br />

enabling them to pay.<br />

Some pharmacies would split their staff in half<br />

to reduce risk if someone got sick, Chris says.<br />

“Unfortunately, we were never in that position due<br />

to the numbers needed to cover things. The tireless<br />

work of Natalie and Jo– doing extra hours, deliveries,<br />

checking people at the door, all meant we could<br />

function as close to normal as possible.<br />

“The days leading up to Level 4 were the busiest<br />

I have worked in any pharmacy in almost 20 years.<br />

Between the prescriptions, phone calls, general<br />

queries, it was beyond<br />

anything I had seen<br />

before.<br />

“The people of<br />

West Melton were so<br />

compliant when being<br />

faced with all these<br />

changes. It made things<br />

flow much more easily<br />

and no-one was ever<br />

grumpy or frustrated if<br />

they had to wait,” Chris<br />

says.<br />

“We definitely don’t<br />

want to go back to<br />

a Level 4 situation<br />

again. It would be so<br />

demoralising for everyone after such an awesome<br />

effort in getting to where we are as a country now.”<br />

The Unichem West Melton Pharmacy, Shop 12,<br />

736 Weedons Ross Road, West Melton, is open<br />

Monday to Friday from 8.30am-6pm and Saturday<br />

9am-1pm. Phone 347-0777.<br />

The Next Big Thing...<br />

West Melton<br />

Funds donated to local<br />

service organisations<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Garden Expo hosted by the West Melton<br />

Garden Club took place at West Melton Community<br />

Centre on December 1 last year, drawing crowds of<br />

enthusiastic gardeners.<br />

The aim was to showcase the <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

nearby areas, promote gardening, and bring the<br />

community together by providing an entertaining<br />

and informative afternoon. Organisers said it was<br />

not intended as a fundraiser for the club, but thanks<br />

to the support from locals and the success of the day,<br />

they were able to make contributions to two local<br />

organisations – $1,000 to the West Melton Volunteer Rural Fire Force and $1,000 to the St<br />

John Ambulance Service Rolleston.<br />

Fire Force Controller for the West Melton Volunteer Rural Fire Force John Doherty said<br />

the donation was a surprise and he and his team were thrilled to receive it.<br />

“It’s always good to get recognised – we are very appreciative.”<br />

The money will be used to fund the upcoming awards dinner, at which fire service<br />

volunteers are to be recognised for their contribution.<br />

At least two members will receive the New Zealand Fire Brigades Long Service and<br />

Good Conduct Medal.<br />

This is awarded after 14 years of qualifying service and is a gazetted (official) medal. A<br />

clasp is awarded for each additional seven years after that.<br />

Forest & Rural Fire Association of New Zealand (FRFANZ) medals will also be given<br />

out. It is awarded after three years’ qualifying service with an additional bar (clasp)<br />

awarded for every three years after that. Three medals and 10 bars will be presented. “The<br />

awards recognise the significant commitment and time the members have made to the<br />

unit and local community,” John says. “To date we have had 74 call-outs for the financial<br />

year.” St John Ambulance Service Rolleston has not yet decided how the donation will be<br />

used, area secretary St John <strong>Selwyn</strong> Central Glenys Mitchell said. “We really appreciate the<br />

donation and we will be putting it back into the <strong>Selwyn</strong> community,” she said.<br />

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />

(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a<br />

new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to<br />

Destructive moth larvae<br />

a household menace<br />

A VERY common<br />

cosmopolitan species<br />

found throughout<br />

New Zealand is the<br />

brown house moth<br />

or Hofmannophila<br />

pseudospretella.<br />

As their name suggests<br />

they are more often found<br />

inside than out and are<br />

present as adults from<br />

October to May.<br />

They are smallish brown<br />

moth with a 15-26mm<br />

wingspan and two or three<br />

distinctive darker dots on<br />

each of their forewings.<br />

Larvae feed on dry<br />

organic detritus from<br />

within a silk gallery<br />

consuming carpets,<br />

cereals, potatoes, rice,<br />

seeds, dog biscuits,<br />

clothes, furnishings, birds’<br />

nests, dead insects and<br />

MORE THAN $1000<br />

was raised for Ellesmere<br />

College from a student-led<br />

book sale.<br />

Thousands of books,<br />

DVDs, magazines, puzzles<br />

and records that were donated<br />

by students and the<br />

wider community were up<br />

for sale at the school.<br />

Student Margarida Dias<br />

said they managed to raise<br />

$1333 from the sale.<br />

“This means it was a<br />

worthwhile event and<br />

something the student<br />

council will be looking to<br />

do annually.”<br />

Margarida said they are<br />

DESTRUCTIVE: The larvae of the brown house moth<br />

feed on organic matter including natural carpet and<br />

clothing fibres<br />

dried skin.<br />

Under some conditions<br />

this species can cause<br />

major infestations.<br />

The duration of the<br />

larval stage can vary from<br />

hoping to use the money<br />

raised from the book sale<br />

to run a drive-in movie<br />

event for students and the<br />

community to enjoy.<br />

“Another proposal<br />

involves working together<br />

with other schools for a<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> District event,<br />

which is very exciting.”<br />

She said the Ellesmere<br />

College student council<br />

would like to thank the<br />

students, parents and<br />

members of the community<br />

for all their support.<br />

“Without that support,<br />

our book sale could not<br />

have been a success. The<br />

71 to 145 days depending<br />

on temperature.<br />

Likewise pupae<br />

development may take 13<br />

to 98 days, while adults live<br />

between seven and 12 days.<br />

Fundraising success<br />

at Ellesmere College<br />

student council is now<br />

looking towards the future<br />

for our next fundraising<br />

efforts.”<br />

The idea behind the<br />

book sale was to make<br />

up for lost fundraising<br />

efforts during the Covid-19<br />

lockdown.<br />

Margarida said the<br />

lockdown brought big<br />

challenges for the school.<br />

“The student council<br />

has barely had an<br />

opportunity to come<br />

together as a group, so we<br />

had to re-think how we<br />

could operate during the<br />

lockdown conditions.”<br />

Upskilling<br />

transforms<br />

careers<br />

Do you ever look at your boss and think<br />

“I could do that job better”? Or wonder<br />

what it would take to get a promotion? If<br />

you’re seeking to advance your career, now<br />

could be the perfect time to ‘sharpen your<br />

tools’.<br />

Ara Institute of Canterbury has decades of<br />

experience in helping people to upskill and<br />

move ahead in their chosen field. It offers<br />

area-specific professional development,<br />

for example in nursing and IT, and short<br />

courses in subjects that can benefit anyone,<br />

like everyday computing, leadership and<br />

health and safety.<br />

Ara also has more advanced upskilling<br />

opportunities like diplomas and graduate<br />

diplomas that can be studied part-time<br />

while you’re working. This option worked<br />

well for Caleb McGrail when he was a<br />

carpentry apprentice.<br />

“I wanted to progress my career within<br />

the industry,” Caleb explains. “I chose a<br />

diploma in construction management at<br />

Ara because it was a locally based course<br />

that I could study part-time while I worked,<br />

and because it met my educational needs.”<br />

Caleb says the diploma course enabled<br />

him to see beyond his role as a carpenter<br />

and how it integrates with other roles in the<br />

industry. He’s now a leading hand carpenter,<br />

working on new builds, refurbishments<br />

and fit-out projects. He says his upskilling<br />

experience enabled him to progress with<br />

Fees-free* study is now available at<br />

courses starting in <strong>July</strong>. Help get the<br />

country moving by getting the skills<br />

include engineering, trades, support<br />

his employer Brosnan Construction and<br />

he’s enjoying being able to use his new<br />

knowledge to benefit his role.<br />

Ara’s short upskilling courses can reap<br />

rewards too, as Thomas King discovered.<br />

A co-director of a logistics business, he<br />

realised he needed to embrace technology<br />

rather than fear it.<br />

“The world is rapidly changing and<br />

having some confidence and competence<br />

in computing is crucial,” he says. Thomas<br />

took his first steps at Ara Connect, which<br />

offers free, non-assessed computing courses<br />

for anyone wanting to gain skills and<br />

confidence using digital technology.<br />

“I fell in love with collaboration tools<br />

which can help me complete a host of<br />

project management tasks. Knowing how to<br />

use computers in a way that delivers results<br />

makes life so much easier, especially in<br />

business. I certainly wish I’d taken courses<br />

like these years ago.”<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

The humble cauli is a winter wonder<br />

Check out these easy deepfried<br />

cauliflower steaks with<br />

lightly toasted ciabatta rolls.<br />

Make these super simple<br />

veggie burgers for a quick<br />

dinner for four<br />

Spicy cauliflower steak<br />

burgers<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

½ cucumber, thinly sliced<br />

1 tbsp white wine vinegar<br />

1 tbsp sugar<br />

1 cauliflower, medium<br />

2 tsp ground cumin<br />

1 tsp smoked paprika<br />

2 tbsp plain flour, well seasoned<br />

100g dried white breadcrumbs<br />

2 eggs, beaten<br />

Peanut oil for frying<br />

4 ciabatta rolls, toasted/halved<br />

4 tbsp hummus<br />

Rocket, a small handful<br />

Red pepper 4 slices<br />

Hot sauce to serve (optional)<br />

Directions<br />

Toss the cucumber with the<br />

vinegar and sugar, and leave while<br />

you prep the burgers.<br />

Put the cauliflower stalk-end<br />

down on a chopping board.<br />

Trim the ends off two sides<br />

of the cauliflower then cut<br />

the remainder into 2cm slices<br />

through the root to make four<br />

‘steaks’ (you can freeze the<br />

leftovers for soup or cauliflower<br />

cheese). Trim them down slightly<br />

if they’re much bigger than the<br />

size of the buns.<br />

Divide the spices equally between<br />

the flour and breadcrumbs in two<br />

shallow bowls.<br />

Dust each cauli steak in the<br />

flour. Dip in the beaten egg then<br />

coat in the breadcrumbs.<br />

Heat 1cm deep of oil in a large<br />

frying pan. Cook the steaks on<br />

a medium heat for about 5min<br />

each side until crisp, golden and<br />

tender.<br />

To build the burgers, spread the<br />

top and bottom of each bun with<br />

hummus. Add a few rocket leaves<br />

then a slice of pepper. Top with the<br />

cauli steak, some drained pickled<br />

cucumber, and some hot sauce, if<br />

using. Put on the tops and serve.<br />

Our creamy cauliflower<br />

soup is spiced with curry<br />

powder for a low-calorie<br />

veggie winter warmer<br />

Spiced cauli soup<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 cauliflower, large (about 450g)<br />

2 tbsp vegetable oil<br />

1 onion, finely chopped<br />

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced<br />

1 tbsp medium curry powder<br />

1 litre vegetable stock<br />

100g Greek yogurt<br />

½ lemon, juiced<br />

Directions<br />

Trim all of the florets from the<br />

cauliflower and cut into chunky<br />

pieces, keeping back two of the<br />

nicer florets for later. Finely chop<br />

the stem.<br />

Heat the vegetable oil in a<br />

large pan and cook the chopped<br />

cauliflower florets and stem with<br />

the onion over a medium heat for<br />

10min, stirring regularly, until the<br />

cauliflower is deeply golden.<br />

Tip in the garlic and cook for<br />

2min, then add the curry powder<br />

and cook for 1min.<br />

Pour in the vegetable stock<br />

and simmer for 20min until the<br />

cauliflower is starting to break<br />

down. Stir through the yogurt,<br />

then use a stick blender to whizz<br />

until completely smooth.<br />

Use a sharp knife or mandoline<br />

to very thinly slice the two<br />

cauliflower florets you kept back.<br />

Gently toss them with a little<br />

seasoning and the lemon juice.<br />

Pour the soup into bowls<br />

and top with the thinly sliced<br />

cauliflower, and a grinding of<br />

black pepper, if you like.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

‘Rogue vines’ stick<br />

out like a sore thumb<br />

Term 3 at Papanui<br />

High School<br />

• By Mark Henderson<br />

VERY MANY years ago,<br />

I helped friends plant out<br />

their vineyard.<br />

The bare vines were in<br />

bundles of 25, the only clue<br />

as to their identity the tag<br />

that enclosed them.<br />

It was only when they<br />

first bore fruit that it<br />

became apparent that there<br />

were a number of “rogue<br />

vines’.’<br />

In a predominantly<br />

pinot noir and chardonnay<br />

vineyard, the random<br />

gewurztraminer and pinot<br />

gris vines stood out like<br />

sore thumbs.<br />

“Gris’’ means grey in<br />

French and pinot gris has<br />

a peachy grey hue that is<br />

quite distinctive.<br />

Next time you’re at a<br />

winery near harvest time,<br />

look out for them.<br />

with pears, spices and a<br />

deeper, guava-like note,<br />

honeysuckle with aeration.<br />

Delightfully creamy entry, a<br />

fatness and richness to this<br />

framed by spiced apple and<br />

pear. A<br />

citrusy line of acidity<br />

runs through this adding<br />

freshness to the long and<br />

zesty finish. Lovely balance<br />

and depth here.<br />

honey at first, builds with<br />

aeration. Anise, clotted<br />

cream, and pear initially,<br />

some riper pear-cordial<br />

notes with time. This is<br />

light to medium-weight,<br />

understated and not a<br />

showstopper style yet has<br />

appealing flavours and is<br />

nicely done. Easy drinking<br />

Learning returns<br />

to the heart of<br />

the city<br />

The WEA is delighted to be opening<br />

its doors again for the return of adult<br />

and community educational classes<br />

this coming term. During lockdown a<br />

shortened programme of 20 online items<br />

was offered free of charge. The 300+<br />

registrations showed there was a real<br />

desire to keep learning through the<br />

crisis. Wendy Butcher from the CWEA<br />

Council (governance team) said that<br />

“for some of our members with limited<br />

computer knowledge, learning online<br />

was a huge challenge, we commend<br />

those in our community who embraced<br />

technologies like Zoom and showed<br />

their determination to stay connected”.<br />

Now that people can be back in the<br />

building however, there is a real sense<br />

of the importance of face to face<br />

interactions: for learning, for depth of<br />

communication and for well-being.<br />

There is an exciting programme<br />

of events and courses on offer,<br />

from: Looking and Understanding<br />

Polynesian Art to Understanding the<br />

Treaty of Waitangi in <strong>2020</strong>. To find<br />

out more visit cwea.org.nz or pick<br />

a zoom class.<br />

Christchurch<br />

School of Music<br />

The Chinese philosopher, Confucius<br />

said long ago “Music produces a kind of<br />

pleasure which human nature cannot do<br />

without”. Playing an instrument has many<br />

benefits and can bring a great deal of joy<br />

to the performer and the listener. Studies<br />

continue to prove that participating in<br />

musical activities, has many positive<br />

effects on the brain as well as a student’s<br />

health and well-being. Some of the proven<br />

benefits include:<br />

1) Increased memory capacity<br />

2) Improved language ability<br />

3) Increased empathy<br />

4) Improved self-confidence<br />

5) Increased attention span and focus<br />

6) Self-discipline<br />

The Christchurch School of Music is<br />

a family-oriented community aimed at<br />

providing quality music education in and<br />

around Christchurch.<br />

On a Saturday morning the whole family<br />

can find something to<br />

suit. Preschool and<br />

junior school children<br />

can start their musical<br />

journey by joining<br />

in our “Take Off<br />

with Music” classes<br />

while older children and adults may<br />

opt for lessons on a specific instrument<br />

(including voice). Those who already play<br />

are welcome to join in one of the great<br />

ensembles which all take part in regular<br />

concerts.<br />

Age is no limit - our Late Starters<br />

programme provides the opportunity for<br />

adults to learn an instrument and join an<br />

ensemble with other like-minded adults.<br />

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also<br />

offers a range of weekday opportunities<br />

for learning and playing music and, if<br />

affordability is an issue, CSM may be<br />

able to offer a discount through funding<br />

provided by the Rata Foundation and<br />

CERT.<br />

Term 3 starts on Saturday 25 <strong>July</strong> and<br />

we can take new enrolments in most<br />

instruments and ensembles.<br />

Please contact us via our website www.<br />

csm.org.nz and let us start you on a<br />

musical journey that will bring pleasure<br />

for a lifetime.

Gardening<br />

Plant now for spring strawberries<br />

GOING INTO the middle of<br />

winter, air and soil temperatures<br />

are low, the soil is often very wet,<br />

and frosts are in many parts of<br />

southern New Zealand.<br />

<strong>July</strong> is the main month for<br />

planting new deciduous trees,<br />

shrubs, fruit trees and roses, and<br />

garden centres are now fully<br />

stocked with these plants. Always<br />

select high quality specimens<br />

and plant correctly with plenty of<br />

compost into the existing soil.<br />

In the vege patch, continue<br />

planting and harvesting broccoli,<br />

brussel sprouts, cabbages,<br />

cauliflower, silverbeet and<br />

spinach. Where soil conditions<br />

allow, you can start preparing the<br />

vege garden for spring planting.<br />

In late <strong>July</strong>, chop up and dig in<br />

green manure crops like lupins or<br />

mustard.<br />

If you have roses, complete<br />

your annual pruning, especially<br />

on bush or standards that<br />

produce flowers late into early<br />

winter such as Icebergs.<br />

Remove all dead and weak<br />

growth, clean out the centre of<br />

plants and prune to outward<br />

facing buds. Add fresh compost<br />

to the soil around the rose plant,<br />

but do not fertilise until spring<br />

arrives.<br />

In warmer, sheltered areas,<br />

TASTY: Strawberries take around four to six weeks to produce fruit. Plant around 20 to ensure good supply. Now is the time to<br />

add compost to your roses.<br />

citrus production should be<br />

in full swing, with clementine<br />

mandarins, lemons, limes and<br />

navel oranges all now maturing.<br />

Check your trees while picking<br />

fruit for any overcrowding or<br />

weak branches that should be<br />

removed. Check for any root<br />

stock growth and prune where<br />

required. For colder climates, use<br />

frost cloths to protect frost tender<br />

citrus.<br />

Give fruit trees a second winter<br />

clean up. Spray with a copper<br />

compound or lime sulphur to<br />

kill any overwintering fungal<br />

diseases.<br />

Now’s the time to prune your<br />

blackberries, boysenberries,<br />

loganberries, or raspberries. Cut<br />

out all old canes and any weak<br />

spindly growth. New season<br />

strong canes should then be tied<br />

up on wires or fences to help<br />

support this summer’s fruit crop.<br />

Complete your strawberry<br />

plantings this month. Purchase<br />

new plants or obtain young plants<br />

(runners) from the previous<br />

season strawberry plants. For the<br />

home garden, plant at least 20<br />

strawberry plants to ensure plenty<br />

SELWYN TIMES Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> 8 <strong>2020</strong> 27<br />

Compact venue faces tough opposition<br />

QUITE SIMPLY, I don’t<br />

understand how it works, two<br />

companies under the one umbrella<br />

selling similar models.<br />

I’m talking about Hyundai and<br />

Kia, both of which have released<br />

the Venue and Seltos respectively,<br />

small sport utility vehicles that have<br />

just landed in the New Zealand<br />

market.<br />

I’m a big believer in shared<br />

product development and<br />

componentry, it makes for cost<br />

savings which then trickle down to<br />

the customer, but these two models<br />

compete in a tight market where<br />

choices will be made solely on cost<br />

and value.<br />

Regular readers may recall<br />

my Kia Seltos evaluation in late<br />

March. The car in this review is<br />

Hyundai’s Venue, and while both<br />

share the same floorpan and many<br />

similarities,there are plenty of<br />

differing features such as exterior<br />

design and drivelines.<br />

The Venue also has a shorter<br />

wheelbase than the Seltos, and<br />

measures just 4m against the Seltos<br />

at 4.3m. But therein lies a bit of a<br />

trick, for those who definitely want,<br />

or need, a small SUV then the<br />

Venue is the pick.<br />

It fits into a market where the<br />

buyer will benefit from the easy<br />

access up front and tall seat height,<br />

it’s great for those in my generation<br />

who are advancing in years. If you<br />

don’t have young ones in tow or<br />

seldom have rear seat passengers<br />

and like the manoeuvrability short<br />

cars offer, then the Venue has<br />

advantages.<br />

It also has a more traditional<br />

driveline, its 1.6-litre engine is<br />

paired to a six-speed automatic<br />

gearbox, as opposed to the<br />

continuously variable transmission<br />

in the Seltos. And if you are already<br />

thinking that the Venue’s 1591cc<br />

engine wouldn’t compete against its<br />

stablemate’s 2-litre unit, then think<br />

again. Hyundai rate the Venue at<br />

90kW and 151Nm, and although<br />

both outputs are realised tall in the<br />

rev band at 6300rpm and 4850rpm<br />

respectively, the engine doesn’t<br />

work overly hard.<br />

That’s because at just over<br />

1100kg, the Venue in total is a<br />

lightweight, and that doesn’t ask<br />

much from under the bonnet.<br />

This engine is used widely across<br />

the Hyundai/Kia range, in turbo<br />

and non-turbo form, it is a sweet<br />

unit that delivers smoothly and<br />

quietly. The naturally aspirated unit<br />

in the Venue is responsive and fills<br />

the close gaps between gears easily.<br />

In terms of performance, the<br />

Venue will reach 100km/h from<br />

a standstill in 11sec. It isn’t a fast<br />

car, but then again the market it is<br />

destined for doesn’t require speed,<br />

HYUNDAI VENUE ELITE: Short-wheelbase translates to<br />

manoeuvrability.<br />

it is capable amidst the hurly burly<br />

of today’s traffic, and that is all that<br />

would be requested from it.<br />

Hyundai claims a combined<br />

cycle average fuel usage figure<br />

of 7.2-litres per 100km. That fits<br />

well with the consumption gauge<br />

in the test car, it was showing<br />

8.4l/100km when I returned it to<br />

the dealership.<br />

In Elite form the Venue rides on<br />

205/55 x 17in Nexen tyres, that is<br />

quite a sizeable amount of rubber<br />

for a small car, but the benefit is the<br />

grip that can be gleaned and the<br />

associated ride benefits.<br />

The Venue gets a torsion beam<br />

rear suspension; put simply, each<br />

wheel is not independent from the<br />

other, there’s an axle tying them<br />

together which doesn’t allow as<br />

much freedom as there would be<br />

otherwise.<br />

That’s fine, so long as the spring<br />

and damper rates have been well<br />

chosen; thankfully, Hyundai have<br />

done a lot of development work for<br />

Australasian roads and the Venue<br />

has a comfortable, absorbent ride<br />

with tidy handling manners.<br />

At almost 1.6m tall, you would<br />

expect some gravitational effect,<br />

but it is arrested well, body<br />

movement over the suspension<br />

won’t lurch occupants.<br />

In Elite form the Venue has<br />

enough wizardry to keep buyers<br />

happy. Major items of fitment<br />

include part leather trim, keyless<br />

entry and ignition, central screen<br />

touch display, Apple Car Play<br />

and Android Auto capability and<br />

• Price – Hyundai Venue<br />

Elite, $31,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4040mm; width, 1770mm;<br />

height, 1592mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

1591cc, 90kW,<br />

151Nm, six-speed<br />

automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 11sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.2l/100km<br />

heated steering wheel, the latter<br />

ideal for those frosty Canterbury<br />

mornings soon to arrive.<br />

For safety, the Venue has a lot<br />

of the kit Hyundai has developed<br />

for its car range. The list is too<br />

extensive to detail, but I’m<br />

sure it will easily fit a five-star<br />

Australasian New Car Assessment<br />

Program rating when crash testing<br />

is carried out.<br />

If you don’t need all the bells<br />

and whistles of the Elite, the Venue<br />

also lands here in entry-level form,<br />

it doesn’t miss out on much and<br />

will still give plenty of satisfaction<br />

within the buying experience.<br />

The Venue lands at a special<br />

launch price. It lists at $27,990<br />

for a limited time. It will go up to<br />

$29,990at any given point, and<br />

you’d need to add $4k for Elite<br />

trim.<br />

That doesn’t quite meet the keen<br />

price of Kia Seltos, but it is close<br />

and with the Venue’s extra goodies<br />

I guess buyer choice will come<br />

down to whatever feels right on the<br />

day of purchase.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Design to the fore<br />

If you like warmth, spaciousness and indoor outdoor<br />

flow, you will love Faye Homes’ latest showhome.<br />

Located in Lincoln’s Te Whāriki housing estate, this<br />

250sqm, four bedroom home is ideal for a family or<br />

those wanting a little more space.<br />

The home’s u-shape design sits well on the 672spm<br />

section and gains full benefit from the sun, which<br />

streams into all living spaces.<br />

The front entry seamlessly separates the lounge/<br />

media room from the other parts of the home affording<br />

a wonderful, sunny yet secluded setting to relax or<br />

watch a movie. Double stacking sliders lead from this<br />

room to a large north-facing, hardwood deck. This is<br />

also accessed from the living room where more sliders<br />

lead out to a second hardwood deck and private garden<br />

beyond.<br />

The light, bright kitchen is well appointed with<br />

quality appliances, engineered stone bench tops, and an<br />

island with a sink, tower faucet and space for informal<br />

dining. There is plenty of cupboard space here and in<br />

the walk-in pantry. The width of this room allows for<br />

double ovens. These have been positioned in raised<br />

cabinetry at an ideal height, eliminating the need to<br />

bend or reach without visually closing in the room.<br />

A clever allocation of space is the built-in study<br />

nook (tucked just beyond the kitchen) and retreat area,<br />

which also act as access points to the bedroom wing,<br />

from the living areas.<br />

All four bedrooms are doubles, clustered at the rear<br />

of the home for privacy and quiet. The master bedroom<br />

has a walk-in robe, ensuite (complete with tiled walk-in<br />

shower, hanging double sink vanity and toilet), and<br />

sliders accessing the second deck.<br />

The main bathroom has a bath, corner shower<br />

and hanging vanity. In the laundry, there is built-in<br />

cabinetry and space for both washing machine and<br />

dryer. A separate toilet with small hand basin offers<br />

convenience. All wet area floors are fully tiled.<br />

A great deal of thought has gone into the design<br />

of this highly specified home where there is plenty<br />

of storage, such as the large built-in cupboard in the<br />

internal double garage, as well as the coat, cylinder and<br />

larger cupboards.<br />

Quality is evident throughout while stunning features<br />

serve up ideas on how you might tailor your new home<br />

so it best suits your needs.<br />

Faye Homes’ Lincoln showhome is located at 164<br />

Southfield Drive in the Te Whāriki subdivision. It is<br />

open: Saturdays and Sundays from 12noon until 4pm<br />

and weekdays by appointment.<br />
