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 />
projects that were under way<br />
comedy night<br />
PROJECTS:<br />
Claims have<br />
been made by<br />
contractors for<br />
time disruption<br />
caused by<br />

at the time of the start of the<br />
level 4 lockdown or contracted<br />
to begin during the lockdown<br />
will require an extension of time<br />
because of the restrictions under<br />
level 3 and 4.”<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 />
making a financial claim for the<br />
projects, Mr Marshall said.<br />

THE DOORS at the Darfield<br />
Challenge were kicked in early<br />
on Saturday morning all for a<br />
handful of sweets.<br />
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />
said a 15-year-old was apprehended<br />
about two hours later.<br />
The petrol station’s alarm was<br />
activated at about midnight and<br />
police used security footage to<br />

receive a certificate with their<br />
name on it thanking them for<br />
being such a great member of our<br />

A selection panel of Mr<br />
Sandra Frazer said biscuits and<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 />
<strong>Times</strong> editor Barry Clarke<br />
will also select four recipients<br />
that represent the range of<br />
nominations and invite them to a<br />
Lollies and biscuits target for theft<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 />
• Police meet with builders, pg 7<br />
Nominations are open until<br />
<strong>July</strong> 27. Nominations can be<br />
submitted online at www.<br />

you can pick up a nomination<br />
form at any <strong>Selwyn</strong> Library or<br />

ceremony to have their certificate<br />
presented by Mr Broughton.<br />
Clarke said the initiative was a<br />
great one which the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><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 />
said.<br />
Ms Brown said this is a great<br />
way to acknowledge our many<br />
unseen and unsung heroes.<br />
“There’s a whakataukī, a<br />
proverb that goes ‘Ehara taku<br />
toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa<br />
takitini, my strength is not mine<br />
alone but that of the many’. As a<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 />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
Weed strikeforce fighting back<br />
NATIVE vegetation at Lake<br />
Ellesmere is getting a boost<br />
due to the work of the weed<br />
strikeforce team.<br />
Grey willow, yellow flag iris,<br />
reed canary grass, blackberry,<br />
elderberry and gorse have been<br />
the targets of Department of<br />
Conservation rangers recently as<br />
part of the Whakaora Te Waihora<br />
restoration programme.<br />
The most<br />
recent target<br />
for the crew of<br />
five is stopping<br />
the spread of<br />
seed-producing<br />
female grey<br />
willow trees<br />
David Murphy<br />
around the<br />
edges of Lake<br />
Ellesmere.<br />
The team reported that all<br />
willow and weed control targets<br />
for the last financial year were<br />
met, with willows and weeds<br />
controlled over 794.5ha.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>-Waihora zone programme<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 />
psychological honours for later in<br />

The two sides have dominated<br />
their opposition so far and look<br />
odds on favourites to fight out the<br />

Prebbleton hammered Hornby<br />
59-12.<br />
In other fixtures this Saturday,<br />
West Melton will defend the<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 />

<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 />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<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 />
raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found at<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 />

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 />

‘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 />

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 />
of fresh strawberries for the<br />
whole family.<br />
Your hydrangeas may be<br />
starting to look a little sad.<br />
They can grow very large and<br />
require heavy pruning<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 />

Public Notice<br />
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE<br />
FEES AND CHARGES POLICY<br />
This is a Special Consultative Procedure<br />
in accordance with section 83 of the Local<br />
Government Act 2002.<br />
The Canterbury Regional Council (Environment<br />
Canterbury) invites the public to make submissions on<br />
proposed amendments to the Fees and Charges Policy.<br />
We are proposing changes to our Fees and Charges<br />
Policy to recover actual and reasonable costs for the<br />
processing of consent applications from applicants.<br />
The proposed changes will increase hourly chargeout<br />
rates for Consents Planners and Senior Consents<br />
Planners. This increase will cover the systems,<br />
overheads, equipment and staff costs for the time<br />
taken to assess and process a consent application.<br />
The change in cost recovery will affect any<br />
individuals or organisations applying for resource<br />
consents to use or take water, land or coastal<br />
resources, or allow discharge of water or wastes<br />
into air, water or onto land.<br />
