Carter - a great club man
• By Barry Clarke
DAN CARTER was the
consummate professional
as usual on Saturday as the
‘big names draw the big
crowds’ adage proved accurate
yet again.
Hundreds turned out for his
well-publicised return to rugby
at Southbridge, as he builds to
a Super Rugby comeback with
Canterbury rugby’s historical
arch rival, Auckland, or in the
2020 sense – the Blues.
But that seemed of no importance
as the fans swooped for a
glimpse of Carter, a selfie, pat
on the back or a handshake –

FOR SOMEONE who has all
of the trappings in life that
fame and fortune brings,
Dan Carter’s feet are firmly
on the ground.
Carter has proven time
and time again he is still a
country boy at heart, and all
round good guy.
On Saturday it was no
different when he returned
home for a blowout with
Southbridge in a bid to get
match-fit for the Super
Rugby campaign that lies
ahead, albeit with the
Blues.
I suppose we can forgive
him for that.
There was a huge crowd,
selfies were taken, and there
were pats on the back and
handshakes. The photo on
our front page today will no
doubt be a Verevodi family
treasure.
Those memories are
priceless.

Contractors seek
compensation from council
• By Devon Bolger
DISRUPTION from the

been hired by

So far

the district have made claims for
a total of $795,921.
Issac Construction has made a
claim of $678,243 to the district
council for the disruption the
Covid-19 lockdown had on the
infrastructure, roading and car
parking aspect of the Rolleston
Town Centre project.
Claims have also been submitted
by Apollo Projects as the
contractor of the Foster Park
Indoor Courts for $49,148.
A claim from Downer has
been made for the Lowes Rd
and Tennyson St intersection
upgrade project and is under
negotiation. A $23,732 claim
has been made for work on the
Health Hub by Naylor Love.
Said district council group
manager property Douglas
Marshall: “We expect the costs
will be covered by each project’s
contingency fund, but we will
not be able to confirm these
costs and the final breakdown of
payment until closer to project
completion.”
Issac Construction chief
executive officer Jeremy Dixon,
who is also the chairman of
Civil Contractors NZ’s Canterbury
branch, said: “We have
made a claim in line with our
contract conditions in regards to
not being able to work through
the Covid-19 lockdown.
“It now sits with the district
council to review our claim,
consider a response and then
negotiate to get to an end game.”

Big attendance at mine meeting
• By Devon Bolger
A COMMUNITY meeting
to discuss the controversial
application to expand a mine in
the Malvern Hills drew in a big
crowd on Thursday.
Siana Fitzjohn said about 60
people were in attendance at the
meeting in Glentunnel last week.
The idea behind it was to
discuss Bathurst
Coal
Ltd’s proposal
to expand its
opencast coal
mine, known
as Canterbury
Coal Mine, at
Siana Fitzjohn Bush Gully Rd,
by 18ha.
“I honestly didn’t know what
to expect. I think it went very
well. There were lots of different
points raised and it was great to
all be in one room to discuss the
different facets of the issue.
“It was a very constructive
discussion. Overall the vibe that
was created was quite a good
one,” she said.
Malvern Hills resident Brian
Thomspon who opposed the
expansion in his submission also
attended the meeting.
“I feel the meeting was a good
open discussion and was handled
well,” he said.
One of the main points of
discussion at the meeting was
the retrospective element of the
consents.
Said Ms Fitzjohn: “There is
some uncertainty around what
is consented and what isn’t and
I think that really highlights
the problem of this process. We
don’t actually know clearly how
much [coal] has been taken out
without consent.”
Bathurst Coal Ltd is seeking
retrospective land use consent
for earthworks that already exist
as well as in the future at the site.
A district council’s report
on the decision for public
notification reads: “In 2017, the
applicant [Bathurst Coal Ltd]
was formally advised that resource
consent was required for
increased truck movements.
“The resulting application for
increased heavy vehicle movements
was lodged in 2018. During
that process, it became evident
that the increase in heavy
vehicle movements was directly
related to the increase in the volume
of coal being extracted, and
that the increased mine production
was not consented.”
After much discussion,
Bathurst Coal Ltd agreed to
prepare an application for the
CONTROVERSIAL:
About 60 people

Glentunnel to

Mine last Thursday.
expansion of the mine, it says in
the report.
Ms Fitzjohn says she hopes to
continue the discussion with the
community going forward.
The application has proven
controversial with 547 public
submissions opposing the expansion.
Bathurst Coal Ltd did not
respond to questions from the
Selwyn Times.

THE PLANNED shut down of
the Selwyn Aquatic Centre for
upgrade works has been reduced
from six weeks to a day.
The facility will close on July 13
as the power needs to be turned
off to complete the work.
It 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 facility’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 next year and work to
upgrade the changing rooms,
staff and public areas and existing
leisure pool is due to be completed
by November next year.

Dan the man once again for Southbridge
• From page 1
Carter filled his usual No
10 position as the club which
nurtured him swept away West
Melton 54-14 in the top of the
table Coleman Shield clash.
Though declaring himself a
bit rusty, he was sharper than he
thought, the 38-year-old having
a hand in two tries and playing
the full 80min. He also kicked six
conversions.
But any thoughts West Melton
might be a little gun shy of the
112-test All Black were put to rest
when hooker Jack Walsh nailed
him with a good old fashioned
body-and-all cruncher.
Carter got himself up off the
ground and rejoined the fray.
Water of a duck’s back. Just good
hard, country rugby.
“If anyone saw that game today,
I’d say myself that I’m a bit rusty,”
he told reporters after the match.
“It’s good to make the first step
in to potentially playing again.
I’m not sure if I could play at Super
Rugby level just yet. You leave
those kinds of decisions up to the
coaches.”
Carter will join the Blues later
in the week for the Super Rugby
Aotearoa top of the table clash
with the Blues at Orangetheory
Stadium on Saturday.
“Whether I play or not, I’m
not too worried. I’ll leave that
decision to (coach) Leon (Mac-
Donald) and the selectors up at
the Blues.”
A three-times World Player of
the Year and World Cup winner
in 2011 and 2015, Carter spent his
entire professional career in New
Zealand playing for the Crusaders.
He joined the Blues after stints
in France and Japan, but has not
played since February after Japan’s
Top League was shut down
due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Saturday was also notable for
other milestones.
Carter was made an honorary
life member at his last appearance
for Southbridge in 2014,
and after Saturday’s match he
was presented with his blazer by
his father Neville Carter. He also
turned out for the first time since
a schoolboy with his cousin Will
Carter.
And on another high note,
former Tongan international
Isileli Fine, played his 100th game
for Southbridge. The big lock was
in his usual commanding form.

Heart of Rolleston takes shape
Rolleston’s new library
and community centre,
Te Ara Atea, is expected
to be the heart of the
township’s new centre.
Devon Bolger reports
A RANGE OF spaces and
activities will be accommodated
for in the building on Tennyson
St which will include a modern
library, meeting rooms,
performance spaces, workshops
and digital resources.
It will also have social spaces,
a community lounge area, as
well as arts, culture and heritage
displays and research facilities.
One of the key features in the
facility will be the museum-like
experience which will be used
throughout the facility to share
the story of the district and its
people, place and culture.
This will be done through engaging
objects and multi-media
interpretive displays.
Said a district council spokesman:
“The building will provide
a much-needed space for this
community to come together,
to learn, access knowledge, art
and cultural heritage resources,
build literacy, share stories and
develop their identity and sense
of connection, local pride.
“The facility will include
contemporary resources in a
modern environment that will
extend the programming and
activation provision for the
Rolleston Town Centre.”
The name of the community
centre and library, Te Ara Atea,
was gifted by Te Taumutu
Rūnanga and references an unobstructed
pathway to the world
of knowledge.
The facility will open onto
a spacious town square which
will provide areas for civic and
community gatherings, markets,
events, performances and informal
community interaction.
“The area has been designed

so that people can move freely
between the indoor environment
of Te Ara Ātea and the
outdoor spaces that encourage
community gathering, activities,
recreation and reflection.”
Armitage Williams is the
chosen contractor for the facility
which is expected to cost $420.7
million.
Construction on the facility
began in December last year and
is expected to be complete in
August next year.
The former Rolleston library
and community centre will be
repurposed into a centre for the
arts.
The idea was mooted at a district
council meeting in March.
It would encompass purposebuilt
spaces for the arts and
spaces which are fully designed
to meet the needs of arts activities.
Consultation on the future
use, capital investment requirements
and operating cost
implications of the Rolleston
Community Centre building
will be held in the 2021-31 Long

Police
meet with
builders
• By Devon Bolger
POLICE BELIEVE the message
has sunk in for construction
companies wanting to avoid
burglaries at their building sites.
A police meeting held on June
30, was attended by about 30
representatives of local building
companies.
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker
said: “We have gotten some feedback
that the companies have been
speaking with their tradesman and
letting them know all of the safety
measures they can use. I think the
message has sunk in for them.”
He said the main message from
police is they want the building
companies to report any theft
and to be more preventative
themselves to cut down
opportunities for burglars.
“Things like ensuring properties
are secure, builders gear and
appliances are kept out of sight
and identifiable where possible in
case they are stolen.”
Burglaries at building sites have
increased since the lifting of the
lockdown.
Toilets, baths and vanity units
that are ready to be installed are
the main items being taken.

10. Mr Hanson was 67.
The 69-year-old of Ladbrooks
is using her heartbreak
for good, cutting
out alcohol for Dry July
to raise money for other
New Zealanders like her
husband, who require support
during their cancer
treatments.
She had cancer herself
15 years ago and this is
the second time she has
participated in Dry July.
Said Ms Underwood:
“This year, I’m doing it
because my husband succumbed
to prostate cancer.
He was only diagnosed
two-and-a-half-years ago
and just had a particularly
aggressive one and he tried
really hard with all sorts of
alternatives as well as the
standard treatments, but
he lost his battle on May
15.”
She has raised about
$1100 so far.
“The response has been
very humbling and, of
course, I shed a tear every
time someone donates, really,”
she said.
Ms Underwood said Mr
Hanson would be very
proud of her fundraising
efforts.
“He’d be particularly
proud because once he
was diagnosed he really
put an awful lot of effort
into trying to stay here and
he also supported others,

you know, who were going
through their various journeys
with cancer, whether
it was support people, or
whether it was people with
cancer themselves.
“He’d be really pleased to
see me not having a drink
as well, you know, because
we all know the harmful
effects of alcohol,” she said.
In spite of not being
a huge drinker, Ms Underwood
has about four
glasses of wine a week and
she said it has been challenging
cutting drinking
from her routine.
“It’s been hard in a
physical sense. At 6pm,
it would be nice to have a
glass of wine while you’re
getting dinner or whatever,
especially in the winter.
“In terms of doing it,
It’s actually made me feel
stronger in myself, if you
know what I mean. It’s
like, I’ve got the strength to
do this, to do without that
glass of wine,” she said.
She said her four children
and Mr Hanson’s two
children have supported
her during her efforts to
go alcohol-free and raise
money.
They also played a significant
role in supporting
Mr Hanson throughout his
illness, she said.
As of Monday, the 7410
New Zealanders doing Dry
July had raised $461,571
for those affected by
cancer.

Plans for Hororata
Reserve released
RESIDENTS CAN have
their say on the proposed
plan for an upgrade of one
of New Zealand’s s oldest
reserves.
The district council and
Go Hororata are working
with Hamish Shaw Architects
and project partner
Canopy Landscape Architects,
to develop a master
plan for the Hororata
Reserve.
The plan also includes a
concept and location for
the possible new Hororata
Community Centre.
The Hororata Reserve is
one of the biggest and oldest
reserves in the country.
It is believed the land
was vested to the community
by the owner of
Hororata Station, John
Cordy, in the 1870s.
Architect Hamish Shaw
said: “The plan is the
result of 11 months of
work by the project team,
including a public workshop
and other discussions
with the community
and groups that use the
reserve
“The purpose of the
master plan is to look
forward 10 to 20 years and
make sure that the reserve
continues to be developed
to serve the community.’
Mr Shaw said completing
the reserve master plan
at the same time as beginning
the early concept
planning for the Hororata
Community Centre allows
them to look at the big
picture.
The community is
invited to submit their
feedback on the Hororata
Reserve Master Plan
through the online form
at: www.selwyn.govt.nz/
hororatareserve. Feedback
must be submitted by
Friday, July 24.

Independent member
appointed to subcommittee
AN independent
member has been
appointed to the
district council’s
audit and risk
subcommittee for the
first time.
Analisa Elstob, a
chartered accountant
with 20 years’
experience in global
risk management, has been
appointed for a four-year term
to the subcommittee.
The subcommittee provides
oversight of the district council’s
finances and compliance
Analisa Elstob
with legislation, policies
and procedures,
as well as identifying
and addressing risks.
Elstob is the first independent
appointee
to the subcommittee.
The appointment
of an independent
member to local
government audit and
risk committees is strongly
recommended by the Auditor
General and by the Productivity
Commission to provide
more skills and independent
advice.
Elstob is a director of the
Canterbury Cricket Association
and chairwoman of its
finance, audit and risk committee.
She has also worked in
executive roles at Ngāi Tahu
Holdings, Central Government,
and Ernst & Young.
Said district council chief
executive David Ward: “Ms Elstob
brings a fresh view point
and a wealth of skill to the
position, which was important
when considering the council’s
finances and making sure
money was spent wisely and
risks to the council lowered as
much as possible.
“It’s a real positive for the
district to have someone of
such a high calibre of experience
and skills coming on
board to support us,” he says.
“Ms Elstob will bring a fresh
and independent view to the
subcommittee.
“She showed an in-depth
knowledge of the issues
the district and the council
face, and will bring valuable
insights into how we can
improve in the way we work to
manage those risks.”
Paige in charge
Six-year-old Paige McLeod was made the owner of a
supermarket in what was a shared birthday treat.
Paige spent her birthday running the West Melton Four
Square store, marking the brand’s 96th anniversary.
Her mother, Kylie Phaup-Stephens said it was a birthday
to remember. “It was a really, really cool day. Paige was
a bit shy at first but she really warmed to it and I couldn’t
get her out of the shop in the end.” A Four Square
spokeswoman said when they found out about Paige
being their biggest fan, they decided to make it a special
birthday for her.

Borrowing
boost for
council
THE DISTRICT council has
received a significant boost as it
battles with the financial fall out
from Covid-19.
The Local Government
Funding Agency which finances
council’s across the country has
increased the amount which local
authorities can borrow.
The agreement means councils,
like the district council, with a
long-term credit rating of “A”
or higher can increase their
borrowing ratio of 250 per cent
net debt to revenue to 300 per
cent until 2022.
Last week it was announced the
district council has received an
AA+ credit rating – equal to the
highest credit rating given to any
council in the country.
The district council is expecting
to borrow an additional $30 to
$50 million this financial year to
cover the costs of major projects.
A district council spokesman
said the amount is dependant on
the speed of the capital projects
programme.
Earlier this year the district
council sought five individual
loans, each $5 million, bringing
the total debt to $35.2 million.
Weed strikeforce fighting back
NATIVE vegetation at Lake
Ellesmere is getting a boost
due to the work of the weed
strikeforce team.
Grey willow, yellow flag iris,
reed canary grass, blackberry,
elderberry and gorse have been
the targets of Department of
Conservation rangers recently as
part of the Whakaora Te Waihora
restoration programme.
The most
recent target
for the crew of
five is stopping
the spread of
seed-producing
female grey
willow trees
David Murphy
around the
edges of Lake
Ellesmere.
The team reported that all
willow and weed control targets
for the last financial year were
met, with willows and weeds
controlled over 794.5ha.
Selwyn-Waihora zone programme
implementation lead
David Murphy said in terms
of visible results, the project is
second to none.
“This is one of the biggest
bang-for-restoration-buck
projects around because once
the willows and weeds are controlled
on the lakeshore, natural
regeneration occurs.
BOOST: Weed strikeforce team members on a day of weed control at Lake Ellesmere which
aims to increase native vegetation in the area.
“Native plants will have the
room to grow well without
having to compete with the
exotic species, so at most sites
there is no need for planting
and the associated costs,” he
said.
The weed strikeforce team
is funded by Environment
Canterbury and has successfully
targeted weeds and achieved
conservation gains for Lake
Ellesmere over the past two
years.
DOC senior biodiversity ranger
Anita Spencer said weeds will
also be controlled in ecologically
sensitive areas of Lakeside and
Harts Creek Wildlife Management
Reserves.
“These sites are home to some
of New Zealand’s most special
and secretive swamp birds,
such as the australasian bitter
(matuku) and marsh crake
(koitareke). The weed strikeforce
team will help to stop the loss
of their native habitat caused by
willows invading wetlands,” she
said.”
Between spring and
autumn, when the team isn’t
controlling weeds, they support
the complementary one billion
trees project with the aim of
planting and maintaining
100,000 native trees around
lakeshore reserves over three
years.

Farming community helps raise funds
for Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade
THE KIRWEE Volunteer Fire
Brigade received support from
the local farming community
that raised more than $3500
through the annual PGG
Wrightson and Ballance Agri-
Nutrients Cash for Communities
programme.
A barbecue was held recently
bringing the farming community
together to say thanks for supporting
the local brigade.
At the event, a cheque of $3742
raised through the Cash for
Communities programme was
presented to Kirwee Volunteer
Fire Brigade, chief fire officer,
Stuart Jones.
Mr Jones represents the hard
work and commitment shown
by the volunteer firefighters who
serve the Kirwee community.
He received the Queen’s Service
Medal in the 2020 New Year’s
Honours List for his services
to Fire and Emergency New
Zealand having been a firefighter
since 1974.
Mr Jones said receiving the financial
boost was a great feeling,
particularly as it was through the
community. “It gives us the tools
to provide a better service to the
community when they need us.
It’s all for the community.”
He said the brigade was always
fortunate with the high level of
community involvement they
receive.
“The Kirwee community find
out exactly what we’re funding
for and they come on board and
support us.”
Said Kirwee farmer Andrew
Brooker who attended the barbecue:
“The Kirwee Fire Brigade
is all run by volunteers, they’re
all good enough to give up their
time and leave their jobs, at all
hours of the day and night, and
we think it’s the least we can do
to support them really.”
The barbecue, held at the
Kirwee Fire Brigade, had a great
turnout with the local farmers
who nominated the brigade attending.
They were able to nominate
by purchasing participating
Ballance Agri-Nutrients fertiliser
through PGG Wrightson and
Fruitfed Supplies, earning $1
per tonne for the brigade during
spring 2019.
Representatives from the PGG
Wrightson’s Darfield store and
local Ballance Agri-Nutrients
staff contributed to this impressive
effort, encouraging local
customers to nominate the fire
brigade when purchasing fertiliser
during the specified time.
Rural communities throughout
the country can benefit
from the Cash for Communities
programme. The partnership
formed by PGG Wrightson and
Ballance Agri-Nutrients raises
funds for charities and organisations
who provide valuable
support to rural communities
nationwide.
Since 2011 the programme
has raised $550,000 for schools,
rescue helicopters, Rural Support
Trust and many other charities
and organisations who play a
pivotal role in their respective
regions.

Celebrating Selwyn’s
Covid heroes
Selwyn’s Covid heroes will be recognised in a new initiative recognising the huge efforts made by
people during the lockdown period.
The Council has partnered with The Selwyn Times and Te Taumutu Ru¯nanga to launch Selwyn’s
Covid Heroes – a way for the community to recognise the ‘amazing’ people that made a difference
during the pandemic.
If you know of an individual, organisation, business, charity or essential service that made an
outstanding contribution to your community over the past few months you can nominate them for
a Selwyn’s Covid Heroes certificate.
“This is an opportunity for the community to say thank you to those who went the extra mile as
we dealt with COVID-19 and the lockdown,” says Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton.
Anyone who lives in Selwyn can make a nomination. Every nominee will receive a certificate with
their name on it thanking them for being such a great member of our community.
Four recipients that represent the range of nominations will be selected to receive their certificates
at a ceremony in August.
For information and to make a nomination visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/heroes or pick up a form at
any Selwyn Library and Service Centre.
Feedback sought on plans for Hororata Reserve
A proposed new plan for the Hororata Reserve has been released for people to have their say.
Selwyn District Council and Go Hororata are working with Hamish Shaw Architects and project partner
Canopy Landscape Architects, to develop a Master Plan for the Hororata Reserve.
The community is invited to submit their feedback on the plan through the online form at selwyn.govt.nz/
hororatareserve by Friday 24 July.
The plan is the result of 11 months’ work by the project team, including a public workshop and other
discussions with the community and groups that use the domain, Hamish Shaw says.
Video presentations and an online feedback form have been created to allow people to view the plan and
engage with it in their own time.
The purpose of the Master Plan is to look forward 10–20 years and make sure that the Reserve
continues to be developed to serve the community, including a possible site for the planned Hororata
community centre he says.
The Master Plan has looked to further
establish the reserve as a community hub and
enhance its existing character.
“The community centre will be a multi-use
space which integrates into the Reserve. This
is the very first step in the Community Centre
design and there is still a lot more work to be
done but from this, we start to see how the
building could function,” Mr Shaw says.
On the roads
Tennyson Street is closed from 43 Tennyson Street to Markham Way due to the Rolleston Town Centre
infrastructure upgrade. Due to the Lowes Road and Tennyson Street intersection upgrade, Lowes Road is
one way on both sides of the intersection, with lanes open for traffic heading away from the intersection,
but not towards it. A stop/go system and speed restrictions are also in place on Tennyson Street.
Leeston Road and Old Bridge Road intersection is being upgraded. Traffic management is in place.
Trents Road is closed heading south east away from Springs Road while upgrades are made to the
sewer system.
Leeston Road and Brookside Irwell Road intersection is being upgraded. The intersection is closed to
traffic exiting Brookside Irwell Road and a stop/go system is in place for traffic turning from Leeston
Road into Brookside Irwell Road.
Repairs are being carried out on Hartleys Road, traffic management is in place.

to support Council
The Council has appointed an experienced, independent director to
its Audit and Risk Subcommittee.
Analisa Elstob, a chartered accountant with 20 years’ experience in
global risk management has been appointed to the subcommittee
for a four-year term.
The Audit and Risk Subcommittee provides ongoing oversight
of the Council’s finances, compliance with legislation, and policies
and procedures, as well as identifying and addressing risk.
Ms Elstob is the first independent appointee to the subcommittee.
The appointment of an independent member to local government
audit and risk committees is strongly recommended by the Auditor
General and the Productivity Commission to provide additional skill
and independent advice.
Ms Elstob is a Director on the Canterbury Cricket Association and
Chair of its Finance, Audit and Risk Committee. She has worked
in executive roles at Ngāi Tahu Holdings, Central Government, and
Ernst & Young.
Council Chief Executive David Ward says Ms Elstob brings a
fresh view point and a wealth of skill to the position, which was
important when considering the Council’s finances, making sure
money is spent wisely and risks lowered as much as possible.
“It’s a real positive for the district to have someone of such a high
calibre of experience and skills coming on board to support us. She
has shown an in-depth knowledge of the issues we face and will
bring valuable insights into how we can improve in the way we work
to manage those risks.”

Selwyn Aquatic Centre
one-day closure
The Selwyn Aquatic Centre will close for a day next week 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 the full complex for the 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
the Level 3 lockdown period meaning the shutdown was able to be
reduced to one day.

As part of our Selwyn Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to

This week we talk to Makkala Rose and Nick Noonan from Love Craft Atelier.
Tucked away off State Highway 75 in Tai Tapu, Love Craft Atelier tattoo studio will have their official
opening on 11 July.
Owners Makkala Rose and Nick Noonan recently bought a house near Akaroa and were looking for a
secluded stand-alone store close by.
Makkala saw the store vacancy in Tai Tapu and remembers saying to Nick, “I want to work there”.
A few months later they fitted the store with a tattoo studio in the back and gallery area in the front to
sell some of their art.
“It’s the perfect location. It’s a bit more off the beaten path and lots of our clients have enjoyed the fact
that it’s here and out of the city,” Makkala says.
The pair have worked in tattoo studios in New Zealand and around the world. For the past three years,
Nick was based in Auckland while Makkala traveled around the United States and United Kingdom,
returning here in October last year.
Throughout their travels, they won awards for their
tattoos and built up a large following on social media,
widely recognised for their high end distinctive tattoo
styles; Makkala in illustrative realism specialising in
florals and Nick in Japanese and realism tattooing.
“We’ve got people who’ve flown internationally and
people that have come from all sorts of different
places around New Zealand to get tattoos,” she says.
Many of their travelling clients end up staying for
a little holiday and as a way of supporting local,
Makkala and Nick give their clients a tour guide
leaflet with local cafés and activities.
Tattooing is more than just a job, they say, after ten
years of experience it is their ‘love craft’ and they
describe it as ‘permanent fine arts’, artwork someone
can carry with them forever.

Restrictions no problem for
pharmacy staff and customers
The team at Unichem West Melton Pharmacy say they
are as glad as the rest of the country to now be at Alert
Level 1.
“The COVID-19 lockdown meant we all had to
change what we were doing,” says owner Chris Leggett.
“Even though the pharmacy was still open, there
were restrictions on who and how many people were
allowed to come into the store.”
Chris says all of these rapid changes meant that
the West Melton pharmacists administered ’flu
vaccinations in cars, prescriptions were delivered to
homes all over the area, and other items were taken to
people in their cars, with a portable EftPos machine
enabling them to pay.
Some pharmacies would split their staff in half
to reduce risk if someone got sick, Chris says.
“Unfortunately, we were never in that position due
to the numbers needed to cover things. The tireless
work of Natalie and Jo– doing extra hours, deliveries,
checking people at the door, all meant we could
function as close to normal as possible.
“The days leading up to Level 4 were the busiest
I have worked in any pharmacy in almost 20 years.
Between the prescriptions, phone calls, general
queries, it was beyond
anything I had seen
before.
“The people of
West Melton were so
compliant when being
faced with all these
changes. It made things
flow much more easily
and no-one was ever
grumpy or frustrated if
they had to wait,” Chris
says.
“We definitely don’t
want to go back to
a Level 4 situation
again. It would be so
demoralising for everyone after such an awesome
effort in getting to where we are as a country now.”
The Unichem West Melton Pharmacy, Shop 12,
736 Weedons Ross Road, West Melton, is open
Monday to Friday from 8.30am-6pm and Saturday
9am-1pm. Phone 347-0777.

now be at Alert Level 1.

The Next Big Thing...
West Melton
Funds donated to local
service organisations
The Selwyn Garden Expo hosted by the West Melton
Garden Club took place at West Melton Community
Centre on December 1 last year, drawing crowds of
enthusiastic gardeners.
The aim was to showcase the Selwyn and
nearby areas, promote gardening, and bring the
community together by providing an entertaining
and informative afternoon. Organisers said it was
not intended as a fundraiser for the club, but thanks
to the support from locals and the success of the day,
they were able to make contributions to two local
organisations – $1,000 to the West Melton Volunteer Rural Fire Force and $1,000 to the St
John Ambulance Service Rolleston.
Fire Force Controller for the West Melton Volunteer Rural Fire Force John Doherty said
the donation was a surprise and he and his team were thrilled to receive it.
“It’s always good to get recognised – we are very appreciative.”
The money will be used to fund the upcoming awards dinner, at which fire service
volunteers are to be recognised for their contribution.
At least two members will receive the New Zealand Fire Brigades Long Service and
Good Conduct Medal.
This is awarded after 14 years of qualifying service and is a gazetted (official) medal. A
clasp is awarded for each additional seven years after that.
Forest & Rural Fire Association of New Zealand (FRFANZ) medals will also be given
out. It is awarded after three years’ qualifying service with an additional bar (clasp)
awarded for every three years after that. Three medals and 10 bars will be presented. “The
awards recognise the significant commitment and time the members have made to the
unit and local community,” John says. “To date we have had 74 call-outs for the financial
year.” St John Ambulance Service Rolleston has not yet decided how the donation will be
used, area secretary St John Selwyn Central Glenys Mitchell said. “We really appreciate the
donation and we will be putting it back into the Selwyn community,” she said.

Destructive moth larvae
a household menace
A VERY common
cosmopolitan species
found throughout
New Zealand is the
brown house moth
or Hofmannophila
pseudospretella.
As their name suggests
they are more often found
inside than out and are
present as adults from
October to May.
They are smallish brown
moth with a 15-26mm
wingspan and two or three
distinctive darker dots on
each of their forewings.
Larvae feed on dry
organic detritus from
within a silk gallery
consuming carpets,
cereals, potatoes, rice,
seeds, dog biscuits,
clothes, furnishings, birds’
nests, dead insects and
MORE THAN $1000
was raised for Ellesmere
College from a student-led
book sale.
Thousands of books,
DVDs, magazines, puzzles
and records that were donated
by students and the
wider community were up
for sale at the school.
Student Margarida Dias
said they managed to raise
$1333 from the sale.
“This means it was a
worthwhile event and
something the student
council will be looking to
do annually.”
Margarida said they are

feed on organic matter including natural carpet and

Under some conditions
this species can cause
major infestations.
The duration of the
larval stage can vary from
hoping to use the money
raised from the book sale
to run a drive-in movie
event for students and the
community to enjoy.
“Another proposal
involves working together
with other schools for a
Selwyn District event,
which is very exciting.”
She said the Ellesmere
College student council
would like to thank the
students, parents and
members of the community
for all their support.
“Without that support,
our book sale could not
have been a success. The

Likewise pupae
development may take 13
to 98 days, while adults live
between seven and 12 days.
Fundraising success
at Ellesmere College
student council is now
looking towards the future
for our next fundraising
efforts.”
The idea behind the
book sale was to make
up for lost fundraising
efforts during the Covid-19
lockdown.
Margarida said the
lockdown brought big
challenges for the school.
“The student council
has barely had an
opportunity to come
together as a group, so we
had to re-think how we
could operate during the
lockdown conditions.”

Upskilling
transforms
careers
Do you ever look at your boss and think
“I could do that job better”? Or wonder
what it would take to get a promotion? If
you’re seeking to advance your career, now
could be the perfect time to ‘sharpen your
tools’.
Ara Institute of Canterbury has decades of
experience in helping people to upskill and
move ahead in their chosen field. It offers
area-specific professional development,
for example in nursing and IT, and short
courses in subjects that can benefit anyone,
like everyday computing, leadership and
health and safety.
Ara also has more advanced upskilling
opportunities like diplomas and graduate
diplomas that can be studied part-time
while you’re working. This option worked
well for Caleb McGrail when he was a
carpentry apprentice.
“I wanted to progress my career within
the industry,” Caleb explains. “I chose a
diploma in construction management at
Ara because it was a locally based course
that I could study part-time while I worked,
and because it met my educational needs.”
Caleb says the diploma course enabled
him to see beyond his role as a carpenter
and how it integrates with other roles in the
industry. He’s now a leading hand carpenter,
working on new builds, refurbishments
and fit-out projects. He says his upskilling
experience enabled him to progress with
Available now:
Fees-free* study is now available at
Ara Institute of Canterbury for select
courses starting in July. Help get the

his employer Brosnan Construction and
he’s enjoying being able to use his new
knowledge to benefit his role.
Ara’s short upskilling courses can reap
rewards too, as Thomas King discovered.
A co-director of a logistics business, he
realised he needed to embrace technology
rather than fear it.
“The world is rapidly changing and
having some confidence and competence
in computing is crucial,” he says. Thomas
took his first steps at Ara Connect, which
offers free, non-assessed computing courses
for anyone wanting to gain skills and
confidence using digital technology.
“I fell in love with collaboration tools
which can help me complete a host of
project management tasks. Knowing how to
use computers in a way that delivers results
makes life so much easier, especially in
business. I certainly wish I’d taken courses
like these years ago.”

Make these super simple
veggie burgers for a quick
dinner for four
Spicy cauliflower steak
burgers
Serves 4
Ingredients
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 cauliflower, medium
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp plain flour, well seasoned
100g dried white breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
Peanut oil for frying
4 ciabatta rolls, toasted/halved
4 tbsp hummus
Rocket, a small handful
Red pepper 4 slices
Hot sauce to serve (optional)
Directions
Toss the cucumber with the
vinegar and sugar, and leave while
you prep the burgers.
Put the cauliflower stalk-end
down on a chopping board.
Trim the ends off two sides
of the cauliflower then cut
the remainder into 2cm slices
through the root to make four
‘steaks’ (you can freeze the
leftovers for soup or cauliflower
cheese). Trim them down slightly
if they’re much bigger than the
size of the buns.
Divide the spices equally between
the flour and breadcrumbs in two
shallow bowls.
Dust each cauli steak in the
flour. Dip in the beaten egg then
coat in the breadcrumbs.
Heat 1cm deep of oil in a large
frying pan. Cook the steaks on
a medium heat for about 5min
each side until crisp, golden and
tender.
To build the burgers, spread the
top and bottom of each bun with
hummus. Add a few rocket leaves
then a slice of pepper. Top with the
cauli steak, some drained pickled
cucumber, and some hot sauce, if
using. Put on the tops and serve.

Spiced cauli soup
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 cauliflower, large (about 450g)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tbsp medium curry powder
1 litre vegetable stock
100g Greek yogurt
½ lemon, juiced
Directions
Trim all of the florets from the
cauliflower and cut into chunky
pieces, keeping back two of the
nicer florets for later. Finely chop
the stem.
Heat the vegetable oil in a
large pan and cook the chopped
cauliflower florets and stem with
the onion over a medium heat for
10min, stirring regularly, until the
cauliflower is deeply golden.
Tip in the garlic and cook for
2min, then add the curry powder
and cook for 1min.
Pour in the vegetable stock
and simmer for 20min until the
cauliflower is starting to break
down. Stir through the yogurt,
then use a stick blender to whizz
until completely smooth.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline
to very thinly slice the two
cauliflower florets you kept back.
Gently toss them with a little
seasoning and the lemon juice.
Pour the soup into bowls
and top with the thinly sliced
cauliflower, and a grinding of
black pepper, if you like.

‘Rogue vines’ stick
out like a sore thumb
Term 3 at Papanui
High School
• By Mark Henderson
VERY MANY years ago,
I helped friends plant out
their vineyard.
The bare vines were in
bundles of 25, the only clue
as to their identity the tag
that enclosed them.
It was only when they
first bore fruit that it
became apparent that there
were a number of “rogue
vines’.’
In a predominantly
pinot noir and chardonnay
vineyard, the random
gewurztraminer and pinot
gris vines stood out like
sore thumbs.
“Gris’’ means grey in
French and pinot gris has
a peachy grey hue that is
quite distinctive.

Learning returns
to the heart of
the city
The WEA is delighted to be opening
its doors again for the return of adult
and community educational classes
this coming term. During lockdown a
shortened programme of 20 online items
was offered free of charge. The 300+
registrations showed there was a real
desire to keep learning through the
crisis. Wendy Butcher from the CWEA
Council (governance team) said that
“for some of our members with limited
computer knowledge, learning online
was a huge challenge, we commend
those in our community who embraced
technologies like Zoom and showed
their determination to stay connected”.
Now that people can be back in the
building however, there is a real sense
of the importance of face to face
interactions: for learning, for depth of
communication and for well-being.
There is an exciting programme
of events and courses on offer,
from: Looking and Understanding
Polynesian Art to Understanding the
Treaty of Waitangi in 2020. To find
out more visit cwea.org.nz or pick
up a programme from 59 Gloucester

School of Music
The Chinese philosopher, Confucius
said long ago “Music produces a kind of
pleasure which human nature cannot do
without”. Playing an instrument has many
benefits and can bring a great deal of joy
to the performer and the listener. Studies
continue to prove that participating in
musical activities, has many positive
effects on the brain as well as a student’s
health and well-being. Some of the proven
benefits include:
1) Increased memory capacity
2) Improved language ability
3) Increased empathy
4) Improved self-confidence
5) Increased attention span and focus
6) Self-discipline
The Christchurch School of Music is
a family-oriented community aimed at
providing quality music education in and
around Christchurch.
On a Saturday morning the whole family
can find something to
suit. Preschool and
junior school children
can start their musical
journey by joining
in our “Take Off
with Music” classes
while older children and adults may
opt for lessons on a specific instrument
(including voice). Those who already play
are welcome to join in one of the great
ensembles which all take part in regular
concerts.
Age is no limit - our Late Starters
programme provides the opportunity for
adults to learn an instrument and join an
ensemble with other like-minded adults.
If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also
offers a range of weekday opportunities
for learning and playing music and, if
affordability is an issue, CSM may be
able to offer a discount through funding
provided by the Rata Foundation and
CERT.
Term 3 starts on Saturday 25 July and
we can take new enrolments in most
instruments and ensembles.
Please contact us via our website www.
csm.org.nz and let us start you on a
musical journey that will bring pleasure
for a lifetime.

Gardening
Plant now for spring strawberries
GOING INTO the middle of
winter, air and soil temperatures
are low, the soil is often very wet,
and frosts are in many parts of
southern New Zealand.
July is the main month for
planting new deciduous trees,
shrubs, fruit trees and roses, and
garden centres are now fully
stocked with these plants. Always
select high quality specimens
and plant correctly with plenty of
compost into the existing soil.
In the vege patch, continue
planting and harvesting broccoli,
brussel sprouts, cabbages,
cauliflower, silverbeet and
spinach. Where soil conditions
allow, you can start preparing the
vege garden for spring planting.
In late July, chop up and dig in
green manure crops like lupins or
mustard.
If you have roses, complete
your annual pruning, especially
on bush or standards that
produce flowers late into early
winter such as Icebergs.
Remove all dead and weak
growth, clean out the centre of
plants and prune to outward
facing buds. Add fresh compost
to the soil around the rose plant,
but do not fertilise until spring
arrives.
In warmer, sheltered areas,
TASTY: Strawberries take around four to six weeks to produce fruit. Plant around 20 to ensure good supply. Now is the time to
add compost to your roses.
citrus production should be
in full swing, with clementine
mandarins, lemons, limes and
navel oranges all now maturing.
Check your trees while picking
fruit for any overcrowding or
weak branches that should be
removed. Check for any root
stock growth and prune where
required. For colder climates, use
frost cloths to protect frost tender
citrus.
Give fruit trees a second winter
clean up. Spray with a copper
compound or lime sulphur to
kill any overwintering fungal
diseases.
Now’s the time to prune your
blackberries, boysenberries,
loganberries, or raspberries. Cut
out all old canes and any weak
spindly growth. New season
strong canes should then be tied
up on wires or fences to help
support this summer’s fruit crop.
Complete your strawberry
plantings this month. Purchase
new plants or obtain young plants
(runners) from the previous
season strawberry plants. For the
home garden, plant at least 20
strawberry plants to ensure plenty
of fresh strawberries for the
whole family.
Your hydrangeas may be
starting to look a little sad.
They can grow very large and
require heavy pruning
and thinning. Remove old wood
completely as there will be ample
new growth in spring. Make sure
you cut just above a node as it is
from here that spring growth will
appear.

Compact venue faces tough opposition
QUITE SIMPLY, I don’t
understand how it works, two
companies under the one umbrella
selling similar models.
I’m talking about Hyundai and
Kia, both of which have released
the Venue and Seltos respectively,
small sport utility vehicles that have
just landed in the New Zealand
market.
I’m a big believer in shared
product development and
componentry, it makes for cost
savings which then trickle down to
the customer, but these two models
compete in a tight market where
choices will be made solely on cost
and value.
Regular readers may recall
my Kia Seltos evaluation in late
March. The car in this review is
Hyundai’s Venue, and while both
share the same floorpan and many
similarities,there are plenty of
differing features such as exterior
design and drivelines.
The Venue also has a shorter
wheelbase than the Seltos, and
measures just 4m against the Seltos
at 4.3m. But therein lies a bit of a
trick, for those who definitely want,
or need, a small SUV then the
Venue is the pick.
It fits into a market where the
buyer will benefit from the easy
access up front and tall seat height,
it’s great for those in my generation
who are advancing in years. If you
don’t have young ones in tow or
seldom have rear seat passengers
and like the manoeuvrability short
cars offer, then the Venue has
advantages.
It also has a more traditional
driveline, its 1.6-litre engine is
paired to a six-speed automatic
gearbox, as opposed to the
continuously variable transmission
in the Seltos. And if you are already
thinking that the Venue’s 1591cc
engine wouldn’t compete against its
stablemate’s 2-litre unit, then think
again. Hyundai rate the Venue at
90kW and 151Nm, and although
both outputs are realised tall in the
rev band at 6300rpm and 4850rpm
respectively, the engine doesn’t
work overly hard.
That’s because at just over
1100kg, the Venue in total is a
lightweight, and that doesn’t ask
much from under the bonnet.
This engine is used widely across
the Hyundai/Kia range, in turbo
and non-turbo form, it is a sweet
unit that delivers smoothly and
quietly. The naturally aspirated unit
in the Venue is responsive and fills
the close gaps between gears easily.
In terms of performance, the
Venue will reach 100km/h from
a standstill in 11sec. It isn’t a fast
car, but then again the market it is
destined for doesn’t require speed,
HYUNDAI VENUE ELITE: Short-wheelbase translates to
manoeuvrability.
it is capable amidst the hurly burly
of today’s traffic, and that is all that
would be requested from it.
Hyundai claims a combined
cycle average fuel usage figure
of 7.2-litres per 100km. That fits
well with the consumption gauge
in the test car, it was showing
8.4l/100km when I returned it to
the dealership.
In Elite form the Venue rides on
205/55 x 17in Nexen tyres, that is
quite a sizeable amount of rubber
for a small car, but the benefit is the
grip that can be gleaned and the
associated ride benefits.
The Venue gets a torsion beam
rear suspension; put simply, each
wheel is not independent from the
other, there’s an axle tying them
together which doesn’t allow as
much freedom as there would be
otherwise.
That’s fine, so long as the spring
and damper rates have been well
chosen; thankfully, Hyundai have
done a lot of development work for
Australasian roads and the Venue
has a comfortable, absorbent ride
with tidy handling manners.
At almost 1.6m tall, you would
expect some gravitational effect,
but it is arrested well, body
movement over the suspension
won’t lurch occupants.
In Elite form the Venue has
enough wizardry to keep buyers
happy. Major items of fitment
include part leather trim, keyless
entry and ignition, central screen
touch display, Apple Car Play
and Android Auto capability and

• Fuel usage – 7.2l/100km
heated steering wheel, the latter
ideal for those frosty Canterbury
mornings soon to arrive.
For safety, the Venue has a lot
of the kit Hyundai has developed
for its car range. The list is too
extensive to detail, but I’m
sure it will easily fit a five-star
Australasian New Car Assessment
Program rating when crash testing
is carried out.
If you don’t need all the bells
and whistles of the Elite, the Venue
also lands here in entry-level form,
it doesn’t miss out on much and
will still give plenty of satisfaction
within the buying experience.
The Venue lands at a special
launch price. It lists at $27,990
for a limited time. It will go up to
$29,990at any given point, and
you’d need to add $4k for Elite
trim.
That doesn’t quite meet the keen
price of Kia Seltos, but it is close
and with the Venue’s extra goodies
I guess buyer choice will come
down to whatever feels right on the
day of purchase.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Design to the fore
If you like warmth, spaciousness and indoor outdoor
flow, you will love Faye Homes’ latest showhome.
Located in Lincoln’s Te Whāriki housing estate, this
250sqm, four bedroom home is ideal for a family or
those wanting a little more space.
The home’s u-shape design sits well on the 672spm
section and gains full benefit from the sun, which
streams into all living spaces.
The front entry seamlessly separates the lounge/
media room from the other parts of the home affording
a wonderful, sunny yet secluded setting to relax or
watch a movie. Double stacking sliders lead from this
room to a large north-facing, hardwood deck. This is
also accessed from the living room where more sliders
lead out to a second hardwood deck and private garden
beyond.
The light, bright kitchen is well appointed with
quality appliances, engineered stone bench tops, and an
island with a sink, tower faucet and space for informal
dining. There is plenty of cupboard space here and in
the walk-in pantry. The width of this room allows for
double ovens. These have been positioned in raised
cabinetry at an ideal height, eliminating the need to
bend or reach without visually closing in the room.
A clever allocation of space is the built-in study
nook (tucked just beyond the kitchen) and retreat area,
which also act as access points to the bedroom wing,
from the living areas.
All four bedrooms are doubles, clustered at the rear
of the home for privacy and quiet. The master bedroom
has a walk-in robe, ensuite (complete with tiled walk-in
shower, hanging double sink vanity and toilet), and
sliders accessing the second deck.
The main bathroom has a bath, corner shower
and hanging vanity. In the laundry, there is built-in
cabinetry and space for both washing machine and
dryer. A separate toilet with small hand basin offers
convenience. All wet area floors are fully tiled.
A great deal of thought has gone into the design
of this highly specified home where there is plenty
of storage, such as the large built-in cupboard in the
internal double garage, as well as the coat, cylinder and
larger cupboards.
Quality is evident throughout while stunning features
serve up ideas on how you might tailor your new home
so it best suits your needs.
Faye Homes’ Lincoln showhome is located at 164
Southfield Drive in the Te Whāriki subdivision. It is
open: Saturdays and Sundays from 12noon until 4pm
and weekdays by appointment.
