RESIDENTS SAY IT’S BULLY BOY TACTICS<br />

Fulton Hogan appeals<br />

quarry conditions<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

FULTON Hogan’s bid to<br />

change some of the conditions<br />

it will operate its controversial<br />

quarry near Weedons under has<br />

been described as “bully boy<br />

tactics.”<br />

The roading company wants<br />

to appeal parts of the resource<br />

consent it was granted by<br />

Environment Canterbury and the<br />

district council.<br />

One of the conditions Fulton<br />

Hogan is appealing is that once a<br />

year ECan may serve notice of its<br />

intention to review the conditions<br />

of these consents for the purposes<br />

of off-setting or compensating<br />

for any adverse effects on human<br />

health arising from suspended<br />

particulate matter generated by<br />

quarry activities.<br />

The company says the condition<br />

is unreasonable and it is difficult<br />

to envisage what kind of health<br />

effect is being referred to and how<br />

it could be off-set.<br />

DOES FULTON Hogan<br />

want to be a good corporate<br />

citizen over the controversial<br />

Roydon Quarry?<br />

If our page 1 article today is<br />

anything to go by probably not.<br />

Fulton Hogan was granted<br />

resource consent to develop<br />

the quarry in an area which<br />

will be close to where people<br />

live. Who wants a dusty,<br />

noisy and truck-busy quarry<br />

near them?<br />

Fulton Hogan argued the<br />

impact of the quarry would<br />

not be as bad as the residents<br />

opposing it said it would<br />

be. Conditions were placed<br />

on the resource consent to<br />

mitigate what lies ahead for<br />

residents.<br />

But now the contracting<br />

giant is appealing some of<br />

those conditions, putting<br />

more pressure on residents<br />

who are also appealing the<br />

original decision.<br />

Why should we be<br />

surprised?<br />

Residents angry over<br />

dumped rubbish across district<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

DUMPED RUBBISH across the<br />

district is angering residents who<br />

say they are fed up with people<br />

destroying the landscape.<br />

District council regulatory<br />

manager Billy Charlton said 95<br />

notifications of dumped rubbish<br />

in a public place have been<br />

received since January.<br />

“When council receives a<br />

report of rubbish being dumped<br />

it is always cleared as soon as<br />

possible by our contractors.”<br />

Mr Charlton said 18 instances<br />

have been investigated this year<br />

and eight infringement notices<br />

have been issued with fines<br />

totaling $2650.<br />

Springston resident Gail<br />

Route said she is appalled at<br />

the amount of litter she comes<br />

across on her regular bike rides.<br />

“It is mainly fast food takeaway<br />

packaging, disposable coffee<br />

and soft drink cups, glass beer<br />

bottles and plastic bottles.<br />

“I have been living in<br />

Springston for 10 years and I’m<br />

just getting fed up with all the<br />

rubbish.”<br />

Ms Route said the rubbish<br />

appears to be coming from<br />

vehicles.<br />

“Where I cycle it is too far for<br />

people to walk so quite obviously<br />

it is people chucking litter from<br />

their cars.”<br />

She has stopped picking up the<br />

rubbish because there is just too<br />

much.<br />

“I did get in touch with the<br />

council and they said they did<br />

send somebody out to clean up<br />

but I can’t tell if they’ve actually<br />

done that or if more litter has<br />

appeared.”<br />

Ms Route would like to see<br />

more roadside and television<br />

advertising asking people to dispose<br />

of their rubbish properly.<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you<br />

think rubbish dumping is a<br />

problem in the district? Email<br />

devon.bolger@starmedia.kiwi<br />

“It can’t be good for the wildlife,<br />

native birds and things like<br />

that. The material also might get<br />

broken down and leech into the<br />

ground.”<br />

Rolleston resident Siena<br />

Turner says she is also sick of<br />

rubbish dumping in the district,<br />

especially along Dunns Crossing<br />

Rd.<br />

DISAPPOINTED:<br />

A collection of<br />

rubbish found<br />

by Springston<br />

resident Gail<br />

Route on a bike<br />

ride recently. ​<br />

She said she was on a walk<br />

with her family last week when<br />

she came across a pile of rubbish<br />

with more than 50 wrappers and<br />

bottles.<br />

“I was infuriated at this. It<br />

makes me angry because people<br />

are destroying the rural, green<br />

and fresh landscape of Dunns<br />

Crossing Rd.<br />

“I’d like to ask the public,<br />

keep this lovely district<br />

clean because owners of the<br />

properties shouldn’t be picking<br />

up someone else’s mess,” she<br />

said.<br />

CRASH DRIVER UNHURT<br />

The driver of a car that crashed<br />

into a ditch near Rolleston on<br />

Thursday had a lucky escape<br />

with no injuries. A police<br />

spokeswoman said they were<br />

called to the incident on <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Rd, between Lincoln-Rolleston<br />

and Springston-Rolleston Rds,<br />

about 2.<strong>15</strong>pm. The driver was the<br />

sole occupant.<br />

RATES DEFERALL<br />

Thirty-seven residents have<br />

taken up the district council’s<br />

rates deferral scheme, chief<br />

executive David Ward said.<br />

The scheme means people can<br />

extend their payments for this<br />

financial year until June 30 next<br />

year, provided they enter into a<br />

payment plan with the district<br />

council. To apply for the rates<br />

extension go to www.selwyn.govt.<br />

incorrect. It is expected to cost<br />

News<br />

Voters know what parties they want;<br />

The general election<br />

is nine weeks away.<br />

National has always held<br />

sway in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, and<br />

has a new electorate<br />

candidate in Nicola<br />

Grigg. Reporter Devon<br />

Bolger tests the pulse of<br />

the district<br />

POLITICAL opinions in the<br />

district appear to be quite varied.<br />

Outside of the Countdown<br />

supermarket in Rolleston, Alice<br />

Tang was in a hurry to pick up<br />

her groceries but said she was<br />

happy to spare a few moments to<br />

talk politics.<br />

She has been living in Rolleston<br />

since 2012.<br />

“I feel like we don’t have a solid<br />

plan to deal with the economy.<br />

We are facing a really big crisis<br />

and need a long-term plan.”<br />

Ms Tang said she will be giving<br />

her vote to Act.<br />

“That is purely because I know<br />

Labour and National have their<br />

supporters but I would like to see<br />

a different party get a chance to<br />

show what they can do.”<br />

She said she did not know<br />

enough about cannabis use or<br />

the upcoming referendum to offer<br />

an opinion.<br />

Alice Tang<br />

“I think it requires a lot more<br />

research and planning but I’m<br />

not opposed to it,” she said.<br />

Ms Tang knew the National<br />

candidate for <strong>Selwyn</strong> was Nicola<br />

Grigg, but not the other candidates.<br />

Further along, Edgar Caisip<br />

had stopped to roll a cigarette<br />

after going to The Warehouse.<br />

He said if the polls were to<br />

open next week, he would be<br />

voting for Labour.<br />

“I think they are working for<br />

the country. The pandemic has<br />

been quite crazy.”<br />

Mr Caisip said he was “dead<br />

against’’ legalising cannabis but<br />

in favour of euthanasia.<br />

He did not know who the candidates<br />

were for <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

Along Rolleston Drive, Martin<br />

Perry was out for a walk to the<br />

New World supermarket.<br />

Lena Atger<br />

He said he thinks the cannabis<br />

referendum is a major issue this<br />

election.<br />

“I am really torn about it<br />

because I would vote yes for medicinal<br />

use, absolutely, but I am<br />

just not too sure about personal<br />

use. I think it contradicts what<br />

the Government is trying to<br />

achieve with going smoke-free.”<br />

Mr Perry said normally he<br />

would vote for National but he<br />

is unsure after recent incidents<br />

such as the Covid-19 patient data<br />

leak.<br />

“It is a tricky one for me. I will<br />

have to see how I feel closer to<br />

the time.”<br />

He did not know any of the<br />

candidates, saying: “All I know<br />

is Amy Adams but I think she is<br />

retiring.”<br />

Mr Perry said he disagreed<br />

with euthanasia for religious<br />

reasons and would be voting no<br />

at the referendum.<br />

In the Faringdon subdivision<br />

in Rolleston, Lena Atger was<br />

gardening in her front lawn.<br />

She agreed to stop for a quick<br />

chat and seemed excited about a<br />

political discussion.<br />

Ms Atger lives and works in<br />

the district. She has been there<br />

for about 10 years.<br />

She would definitely not be<br />

voting for National but would<br />

have to do more research before<br />

deciding where her vote would<br />

go.<br />

“I don’t know much about the<br />

guy they have elected as leader<br />

now. I also don’t know any of<br />

their policies at all.”<br />

Ms Atger said she would be<br />

voting no for the legalisation of<br />

cannabis and was unsure how<br />

she would vote on the euthanasia<br />

bill.<br />

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2020</strong> 5<br />

opinion divided on two referendums<br />

“I don’t know any of the candidates<br />

here. I couldn’t even tell<br />

you one, which is bad I know.”<br />

Heading east, Prebbleton resident<br />

Anderson Webb was walking<br />

his dog along Tosswill Rd.<br />

He said he would be voting for<br />

National this year.<br />

“That is who I voted for last<br />

time as well.”<br />

Mr Webb said he thought the<br />

legalisation of cannabis was a<br />

major issue in the upcoming election.<br />

“I will be voting yes. I don’t<br />

really have an opinion on euthanasia.”<br />

He said Nicola Grigg was the<br />

only candidate he knew of.<br />

A short time later in Lincoln,<br />

Howard Paterson was waiting to<br />

catch the bus outside the library<br />

along Gerald St.<br />

“It is hard to say what the major<br />

issues are but I think the recovery<br />

from Covid-19 will be key for the<br />

country going forward.”<br />

Mr Paterson said if the polls<br />

were to open next week he would<br />

be voting for Labour.<br />

“The National Party has had<br />

some bad days. Namely with<br />

the recent leaking incident with<br />

Michelle Boag,” he says of the<br />

Covid patient list leaked to the<br />

news media.<br />

He was unsure of who the candidates<br />

for the electorate are.<br />

Strolling through Lincoln’s<br />

Liffey Domain were David and<br />

Lynne Montgomery.<br />

They both also thought the<br />

recovery from Covid-19 would be<br />

a major issue.<br />

Mr Montgomery joked that<br />

footpaths are another issue which<br />

will cause much debate.<br />

When asked who they would<br />

vote for, Mrs Montgomery said<br />

Labour and Mr Montgomery said<br />

National.<br />

“It doesn’t matter that we don’t<br />

agree,” Mrs Montgomery said.<br />

Neither of the couple was in<br />

favour of legalising cannabis.<br />

Mrs Montgomery said she<br />

thinks Labour is likely to win.<br />

“It varies when you ask but at<br />

the moment I think it’s Labour. I<br />

don’t think National has the right<br />

guy as leader.”<br />

Artemio Mendoza-Mendoza<br />

was waiting for the bus at the<br />

stop near The Famous Grouse<br />

Hotel on Gerald St with his sixyear-old<br />

son Santiago.<br />

Mr Mendoza-Mendoza said he<br />

thinks Labour is doing a good job<br />

with the recovery from Covid-19<br />

PROUD:<br />

Artemio<br />

Mendoza-<br />

Mendoza,<br />

with his son<br />

Santiago<br />

Mendoza-<br />

Nieto, said<br />

he would<br />

be voting<br />

for Labour<br />

following its<br />

performance<br />

during the<br />

Covid-19<br />

pandemic. ​<br />

and would be voting for them.<br />

“It is going to be difficult<br />

to decide when to open the<br />

borders and I think the good<br />

work that has been done has to<br />

continue.”<br />

He would be voting yes on the<br />

cannabis and euthanasia referendums.<br />

“I think legalising cannabis is a<br />

good idea. The medicinal properties<br />

are very good.”<br />

Real estate agent Stu Jones was<br />

taking a stroll through the Preston<br />

Downs subdivision in West<br />

Melton.<br />

“I do like the way Labour has<br />

“This time last year, I would<br />

have been a yes but after going<br />

to Canada and seeing people<br />

smoking cannabis on the street,<br />

I thought well that’s not exactly<br />

what I had in mind.”<br />

Mr Jones said it is too early to<br />

tell who will win the election but<br />

it will be close.<br />

Mark Exton was on his way to<br />

get some groceries at the West<br />

Melton Village shopping centre.<br />

He said he had a few moments to<br />

chat before he had to rush off.<br />

“I will be voting for the<br />

National Party. I express a preference<br />

based on historical policies I<br />

have seen.”<br />

Mr Exton said he thinks a major<br />

issue is tourism and the idea<br />

of keeping the country productive<br />

Mark Exton<br />

Henry King<br />

‘It will be close’<br />

and keeping the economy going.<br />

He said he would vote yes on<br />

both the cannabis and euthanasia<br />

referendums.<br />

“If cannabis is controlled then<br />

yes but there will always be<br />

people who abuse that.”<br />

He had no idea of the MP<br />

candidates this year but said the<br />

name Nicola rung a bell.<br />

After travelling further down<br />

West Coast Rd to Darfield, Henry<br />

King was in his driveway on<br />

South Terrace.<br />

He said his vote would be going<br />

to Act this election after voting<br />

for the National Party in the last<br />

election.<br />

“I think a major issue facing<br />

our country is obviously how we<br />

will recover from Covid-19.”<br />

He said he would be voting<br />

yes to legalise cannabis and<br />

euthanasia and did not know the<br />

names of any of the candidates.<br />

• From page 1<br />

The decision – which granted<br />

consent for the quarry for 35<br />

years – imposed a number of<br />

conditions, including setting up<br />

a dust management plan, truck<br />

movements limited to 1200 a day<br />

and no work can take place at<br />

night during the quarry’s first five<br />

years.<br />

A long time quarry<br />

opponent, Weedons<br />

resident Simon Moore<br />

said: “It is just a bit of<br />

bully boy tactics. Fulton<br />

Hogan publicly stated<br />

how pleased they were<br />

with the conditions and<br />

then as soon as somebody<br />

appeals they come<br />

out and say they aren’t<br />

happy.<br />

“They are just contradicting<br />

themselves.”<br />

Fulton Hogan’s appeal comes<br />

after Weedons resident Stephen<br />

Bain’s bid to overturn the resource<br />

consent granted to operate<br />

the quarry.<br />

Mr Bain is seeking public<br />

support to fund an appeal to the<br />

Environment Court to stop it.<br />

He and Mr Moore believe<br />

Fulton Hogan’s own appeal is a<br />

tit-for-tat response.<br />

Said Mr Bain: “I think it was<br />

a strategic move that they have<br />

made because of my appeal. I<br />

Simon<br />

Moore<br />

don’t think they were going to<br />

do it until they saw other people<br />

were appealing.<br />

“I was very surprised because<br />

the extension to appeal was only<br />

granted 24 hours before the<br />

initial appeal period closed so it<br />

didn’t seem like they planned on<br />

appealing.”<br />

The Christchurch City Council<br />

has also got involved.<br />

At a meeting last Thursday<br />

it decided to become a<br />

party to proceedings to try<br />

and stop the conditions of<br />

the resource consent being<br />

changed.<br />

It has until Monday to<br />

lodge the necessary paperwork.<br />

Then it may be able<br />

to present submissions and<br />

evidence at a subsequent<br />

hearing.<br />

Fulton Hogan is appealing<br />

these conditions:<br />

•Depositing clean fill is only<br />

allowed between 6-8pm Monday<br />

to Saturday. Fulton Hogan wants<br />

it changed so the activity can occur<br />

during evenings, night time<br />

and Sundays.<br />

• Heavy vehicle movements<br />

leaving or accessing the quarry<br />

need to use the direct route<br />

comprising State Highway 1,<br />

Jones and Dawsons Rds. Fulton<br />

Hogan wants it changed so it just<br />

has to take all practicable steps<br />

to ensure the vehicles associated<br />

with the quarry do not travel on<br />

those roads.<br />

• Loaded heavy vehicles<br />

arriving at the site must have<br />

their load covered. Fulton<br />

Hogan wants this condition<br />

removed.<br />

• Heavy vehicles with aggregate<br />

or other quarry material<br />

leaving the site must cover their<br />

load and have it dampened with<br />

water spray. Fulton Hogan wants<br />

it changed so that the vehicles<br />

must either cover their load or<br />

have it dampened.<br />

• Once a year ECan may<br />

serve notice of its intention to<br />

review the conditions of these<br />

consents for the purposes of<br />

(amongst other things) “offsetting<br />

or compensating for<br />

any adverse effects on human<br />

health arising from suspended<br />

particulate matter (including<br />

dust and respirable crystalline<br />

silica) generated by quarry<br />

activities.” Fulton Hogan<br />

seeks the removal of the subparagraph<br />

completely.<br />

• Six dust monitoring devices<br />

are to be installed prior to quarry<br />

activities occurring and during<br />

operations. Fulton Hogan wants<br />

it changed to require one permanent,<br />

regulatory certified monitor<br />

and four calibrated, mobile<br />

monitors.<br />

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2020</strong> 7<br />

response<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

Free gifts on<br />

opening day!<br />

• Prior to the start of<br />

quarrying, the consent<br />

holder must design and<br />

implement a Respirable<br />

Crystalline Silica monitoring<br />

programme in consultation<br />

with the Canterbury<br />

District Health Board<br />

and ECan and prepare a<br />

report on the results of<br />

the 12-month programme<br />

within one month of<br />

its completion. Fulton<br />

Hogan is proposing two,<br />

4-month-long monitoring<br />

campaigns rather than one<br />

12-month campaign.<br />

• Quarry activities<br />

(except dust suppression<br />

measures) within 250m<br />

of a sensitive receptor<br />

location must not be<br />

undertaken when the wind<br />

direction places quarry<br />

activities directly upwind<br />

of the sensitive receptor<br />

location and the wind<br />

speed reaches or exceeds 7<br />

m/s. Fulton Hogan wants<br />

it changed so only a subset<br />

of the activities that may<br />

occur on-site are required<br />

to stop under certain meteorological<br />

conditions.<br />

• It must take all reasonably<br />

practicable measures<br />

to minimise the discharge<br />

of dust from quarry activities<br />

which include ensuring<br />

trucks leaving the site<br />

with loads of fine material<br />

and trucks entering the<br />

site with loads of clean fill<br />

are covered. Fulton Hogan<br />

wants it changed so that<br />

trucks can alternatively<br />

pass under a water spray<br />

boom.<br />

• Should the ability to<br />

take water cease at any<br />

time, the consent holder<br />

must cease quarry activities<br />

requiring water usage<br />

to manage dust. Fulton<br />

Hogan wants it changed<br />

so the company will assess<br />

the need to temporarily<br />

cease some or all parts of<br />

operations itself.<br />

• Excavation of aggregate<br />

and deposition of clean fill<br />

must only occur where the<br />

quarry floor maintains at<br />

least 1m separation depth<br />

to groundwater. Fulton<br />

Hogan is seeking a minor<br />

change so that permissible<br />

excavation depths are defined<br />

by reference to an RL<br />

level, as opposed to metres<br />

below ground level.<br />

• Should the groundwater<br />

level increase so that<br />

the separation is less than<br />

1m between the measured<br />

groundwater levels and<br />

the current ground level<br />

within the active quarry<br />

floor quarry site, Fulton<br />

Hogan must apply virgin<br />

materials to that area, so as<br />

to reestablish a 1m separation<br />

distance throughout<br />

the site. Fulton Hogan<br />

wants it changed to include<br />

that this requirement does<br />

not apply to any areas<br />

which have already been<br />

rehabilitated;<br />

• If the results of the<br />

second groundwater<br />

samples show an<br />

exceedance of the trigger<br />

concentrations, the consent<br />

holder must sample all<br />

domestic wells within<br />

500m downgradient of<br />

the affected bore. If any<br />

domestic bore sample<br />

reveals an adverse effect<br />

on drinking-water quality,<br />

then the consent holder<br />

must either provide<br />

the well user with an<br />

alternative supply of<br />

potable water, provide<br />

an appropriate water<br />

treatment system, or install<br />

a deeper well for the user.<br />

Fulton Hogan wants it<br />

changed to state that the<br />

exceedance must be more<br />

than likely attributable to<br />

the quarrying operations.<br />

Finding a super comfortable bra can<br />

be daunting at times. That’s why<br />

Esther Rokk from Beauty Bra Ltd is<br />

opening a new branch in Prebbleton<br />

on 21 <strong>July</strong>. Esther constantly hears<br />

the same stories of woe from women<br />

who are uncomfortable: the bra<br />

straps fall down, the wires dig in, the<br />

back rides up, and the bust line sags.<br />

That is why when Lisa Tempero<br />

was approached by Esther to manage<br />

the new Prebbleton branch she<br />

jumped at the opportunity. Lisa is<br />

passionate about helping women<br />

to find the correct fitting bra. Lisa<br />

says, ‘I know what an uncomfortable<br />

bra is like. When I was fitted with<br />

the Beauty Bra I couldn’t believe<br />

how comfortable I felt. It helped to<br />

relieve my upper back pain because<br />

the Beauty Bra fits properly and I<br />

am securely supported. I don’t need<br />

under wires for support because of<br />

the Beauty Bra’s inbuilt shelf.’<br />

‘Lisa has been thoroughly trained<br />

and I know the ladies will feel at ease<br />

with her,’ Esther says. ‘She has a kind<br />

and gentle approach.’<br />

The Beauty Bra is a healthy bra.<br />

No under wires to impede lymphatic<br />

drainage; no stretch straps; no<br />

shoulder strap pull and no flattening<br />

of the breast tissue. Your bust is<br />

supported from beneath by the<br />

cleverly concealed, inbuilt shelf.<br />

There is very little weight on the<br />

shoulders at all. That fact alone can<br />

help to relieve back and shoulder<br />

pain. All the Beauty Bra offers is<br />

amazing comfort and support.<br />

Lisa says, ‘We have over 200<br />

hundred size combinations. That<br />

allows us to fit to practically every<br />

figure type. Plus we find they last<br />

three times longer than your average<br />

bra.’<br />

Another garment in the range is<br />

the Beauty Tummy Support. This<br />

brilliant garment supports, protects<br />

and gently lifts the abdomen after<br />

surgery. Can also relieve hernia<br />

conditions and eases strain after<br />

childbirth. It is also used as gentle<br />

tummy control.<br />

For those women who love firm<br />

shape wear check out our Beauty<br />

Figure Control. Fabulous contouring<br />

and gives a great look no matter what<br />

the view. Pair it with the Beauty<br />

Waist Trimmer and the Beauty Bra to<br />

give you a lovely smooth silhouette.<br />

All fittings are personal and private<br />

from Lisa’s home in Prebbleton.<br />

Beauty Bra is opening on Tuesday,<br />

21 <strong>July</strong>. Women who book for a free,<br />

no obligation fitting on that day will<br />

receive free gifts with any purchases.<br />

Spaces are extremely limited so book<br />

Waste facility<br />

application to go<br />

straight to<br />

Environment Court<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

A CONTROVERSIAL application<br />

to expand a waste facility near<br />

Prebbleton has been approved to go<br />

straight to the Environment Court.<br />

Last month, Waste Management<br />

Ltd applied to have its resource consent<br />

application to expand its site at<br />

305 Marshs Rd bypass the council<br />

hearing process.<br />

Said an ECan spokeswoman:<br />

“Council has 20 working days<br />

to complete a report on the application,<br />

including addressing any<br />

issues; suggested conditions that<br />

should be imposed if the consent<br />

was granted; and provide a summary<br />

of submissions.”<br />

Waste Management Ltd will then<br />

make a final decision to proceed<br />

or not directly to the Environment<br />

Court.<br />

One of the reasons the company<br />

gave for wanting to refer the matter<br />

to the Environment Court is likely<br />

appeals on the application.<br />

“The application is contentious. It<br />

has already generated considerable<br />

community and media attention<br />

including public meetings.<br />

“The significant public interest<br />

raises the real likelihood of appeals<br />

and for that reason alone the<br />

application should be directly<br />

referred to the Environment Court.”<br />

Prostate cancer support group<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

WHEN CHRIS Ward was<br />

diagnosed with prostate<br />

cancer in 2018 he learned the<br />

importance of a strong support<br />

system.<br />

The 70-year-old Lincoln<br />

resident decided it was time the<br />

district had a dedicated support<br />

group for men also suffering<br />

from prostate cancer.<br />

With the help of his wife<br />

Dianne he started the group in<br />

February last year.<br />

They meet on every fourth<br />

Wednesday of the month at the<br />

Lincoln Event Centre.<br />

It has 40 members on its<br />

books and about 25 to 30 men<br />

typically attend the meetings.<br />

Said Mr Ward: “After I began<br />

treatment I went to a support<br />

group meeting in Christchurch<br />

and I found that very valuable.<br />

It was great to go along and talk<br />

to other people with common<br />

issues.<br />

“Out here in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, I figured<br />

there is quite a population of<br />

people and one in eight is the<br />

general strike rate for prostate<br />

cancer so I thought there could<br />

be a lot of people out here who<br />

can benefit from some support<br />

too.”<br />

Mr Ward said he approached<br />

the Prostate Cancer Foundation<br />

about wanting to start the group<br />

and they were very supportive.<br />

The group attracts people<br />

from across the district with<br />

members from Darfield,<br />

Rolleston, Leeston, Lincoln and<br />

Prebbleton.<br />

The meetings consist of a<br />

sharing session for the men to<br />

open up about their struggles<br />

and sometimes guest speakers.<br />

“We also have physios too.<br />

They have a very pressing part to<br />

play, they can offer a lot of help<br />

so they came along and shared<br />

what they can do for us.”<br />

About 18 months ago members<br />

of the group started to take<br />

part in a pilot programme called<br />

Prost-FIT.<br />

It is a fitness group run by<br />

Exercise As Medicine NZ which<br />

includes elements of<br />

cardio, resistance, boxing and<br />

other modalities to improve<br />

strength, balance and stamina.<br />

“That has been extremely successful<br />

for us and the Prostate<br />

Cancer Foundation is looking to<br />

expand the programme across<br />

the country.”<br />

Mr Ward said things are<br />

looking positive for his health<br />

as his two-year check-up in May<br />

CONNECT: Chris<br />

and Dianne<br />

Ward of Lincoln<br />

Rocker to sing from extensive back catalogue<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

WHEN JON Stevens’ song<br />

Jezebel reached number one on<br />

the New Zealand charts in 1979,<br />

a career in music wasn’t on his<br />

mind.<br />

Said Stevens: “I made a record<br />

when I was 16, it came out when<br />

I was 17, which was Jezebel. It<br />

was released and three weeks<br />

later it was No 1 and all of a<br />

sudden, I was famous in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

“It [music] was something<br />

that I didn’t pursue at all, it<br />

was like a happy accident<br />

actually because it wasn’t<br />

something I was actually into<br />

doing,” he said.<br />

But Stevens, who is entertainer<br />

Frankie Stevens’ brother,<br />

couldn’t stay away from music,<br />

and more than four decades<br />

later, he is set to headline <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sounds on March 6 at Lincoln<br />

Domain.<br />

Jon Stevens is best known<br />

for being the lead singer of<br />

Noiseworks. He was also lead<br />

singer of legendary Australian<br />

band INXS for four years after<br />

former frontman Michael<br />

Hutchence died.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds crowd can<br />

expect Stevens to belt out a set<br />

of hits from both of these bands<br />

when he takes the stage.<br />

Said Stevens: “I’ve got a<br />

pretty good setlist going with,<br />

obviously, both bands’ songs.<br />

You can’t please everybody, but<br />

nobody’s disappointed ever.<br />

“It’s just hit after hit, you<br />

know,” he said.<br />

Stevens said these hits will<br />

include INXS songs Need You<br />

Tonight, Don’t Change and<br />

Suicide Blonde and Noiseworks’<br />

Hot Chilli Woman.<br />

Stevens fronted INXS in the<br />

early 2000s after Hutchence’s<br />

death in 1997 and toured with<br />

the band for four years.<br />

“When I joined INXS, it was<br />

just one of those things where it<br />

seemed like a perfectly natural<br />

fit and it was, and it’s something<br />

that I know, and we all knew,<br />

Michael would have been more<br />

than happy for me to do because<br />

we were compadres.”<br />

Stevens said he and Hutchence<br />

had “mutual admiration” for<br />

ROCKING OUT:<br />

Jon Stevens will<br />

be performing<br />

a set including<br />

songs from<br />

Noiseworks<br />

and INXS at<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds<br />

on March 6.<br />

The Lady Killers<br />

will also be<br />

performing. ​<br />

each other.<br />

“He [Hutchence] was a very<br />

warm and engaging fellow. He<br />

was a lovely bloke [with] charisma<br />

to burn. One thing people didn’t<br />

realise about Michael was he had<br />

a really, really big voice, it was<br />

really so loud.<br />

“Because his subtlety in his<br />

lower register was just incredible<br />

and his tone was incredible,<br />

when he jumped up an octave<br />

and started belting it out, it was<br />

just like, man, so full-on, and<br />

that’s probably a big part of his<br />

magic,” he said.<br />

Stevens is looking forward<br />

to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds crowd<br />

hearing his spin on the INXS<br />

songs and said he has the band’s<br />

blessing to perform them.<br />

Some of Stevens’ best career<br />

memories have been playing<br />

shows with artists including<br />

Elton John, Aerosmith and Slash<br />

and performing at venues such<br />

as Madison Square Garden in<br />

New York and Wembley Stadium<br />

in London.<br />

He said he is looking forward<br />

to seeing the huge Kiwi lineup<br />

set to take the stage at <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sounds and his highlights will be<br />

seeing Stan Walker, The Jordan<br />

Luck Band, The Lady Killers and<br />

Annie Crummer.<br />

Liffey southern<br />

walkway opens<br />

The banks of the Liffey have taken on a new look along a popular lockdown walking route in Lincoln.<br />

A new 450 metre walkway along the Liffey Stream between Southfield Drive and Jimmy Adams<br />

Terrace was officially opened last week, after the last of more than 3400 plants was planted along<br />

the route.<br />

It completes walkway links from the Lincoln town centre to the wetlands and restores a previously<br />

overgrown section of the Liffey, Council Land Development Project Manager Phillip Millar says.<br />

Contractors worked hard to have the walkway ready for use the day before the Level 4 Lockdown.<br />

Councillor Grant Miller says the walkway proved popular during the lockdown.<br />

“People were coming to use the walkway from other townships nearby because they loved it that<br />

much, which gives you an idea of the quality of work that has gone on here.”<br />

Final planting and landscaping was finished once restrictions were relaxed.<br />

Pupils from the neighbouring Ararira Springs Primary and Lincoln University students helped plant<br />

2600 native trees and plants, working alongside contractors Burnside Contracting, McLenaghan<br />

Contracting and Natural Habitats.<br />

Some existing plants and trees have been retained to blend with the native species supporting the<br />

stream’s vibrant population of native fish and birds, Council Biodiversity Officer Andy Spanton says.<br />

“We’re trying to do it in a way that it will look like what you would have found here 200 years ago.”<br />

Tennyson Street reopens<br />

The newly upgraded section of Tennyson Street through the Rolleston Town Centre has reopened.<br />

Work began in January to upgrade the road to a people-friendly high street, with wider pavements, fresh<br />

planting, seating, landscaping and lighting. Infrastructure for the town centre development is also being<br />

installed. Landscaping and infrastructure work is ongoing and the temporary Markham Way extension<br />

will remain in place for now.<br />

Tennyson Street from the intersection with Rolleston Drive to the northern end of Rolleston Reserve is a<br />

30kmh speed limit to encourage pedestrian and cycle use.<br />

A community day is being planned by businesses in the area for Friday 24 <strong>July</strong> to celebrate the<br />

reopening on the street.<br />

The work on Tennyson Street is a first step for the new Rolleston Town Centre. It will act as the new<br />

town centre’s spine, with a lively mix of retail, entertainment and community spaces, anchored by Te<br />

Ara Ātea and a town square.<br />

Flying end to Matariki and school holidays<br />

Families are being invited to take part in a fun, flying end to Matariki and the school holidays.<br />

Darfield School international students, Glentunnel School pupils, Lincoln Envirotown, the Two Rivers<br />

Trust and the Council have all banded together to support the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Kite Day.<br />

The making and flying of manu tukutuku (kites) is a traditional part of Māori celebrations for Matariki.<br />

Kite making is an important part of celebrations in many cultures. For Matariki celebrations this year the<br />

Council has joined with community groups and schools, embracing the multicultural love of kites, with<br />

videos showing families how to make kites at little or no cost.<br />

Darfield High School international students from Japan, Thailand<br />

and Germany have worked with Lincoln Envirotown to create a<br />

video with instructions on how to make a kite out of bamboo canes<br />

and repurposed plastic bags.<br />

Pupils at Glentunnel School and volunteers from the Two Rivers<br />

Community trust produced video guides on making two versions of<br />

a Māori manu taratahi (a triangular shaped kite).<br />

Families are encouraged to use the videos to make their own kites<br />

and join others across the district in flying them on Kite Day on<br />

Sunday 19 <strong>July</strong> from 1pm. Two Rivers Trust will also be hosting a<br />

kite flying event at Darfield Domain from 3pm on the day.<br />

To learn about how to make your kite visit selwyn.govt.nz/matariki.<br />

Youth Fund supporting rangatahi<br />

Traditional games and Top Town challenges were part of a first<br />

Tamariki Day for Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu.<br />

Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu hosted the day, for young people<br />

associated with the rūnanga at the start of the year. The day<br />

was supported by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Project Fund, which is open<br />

for applications.<br />

A group of 120 young people attended the event at Te Pā o Moki,<br />

supported by Sports Canterbury and University of Canterbury<br />

Masters students. They enjoyed games and challenges designed to<br />

foster health, relationships and cultural understanding, Te Taumutu<br />

Rūnanga chairperson Liz Brown says.<br />

“We were blessed with beautiful weather when we split into two<br />

groups for Top Town challenges at Awhitu House and traditional<br />

games at Te Pā o Moki. Our focus of the day was tamariki and<br />

rakatahi wellbeing, being active within our environments.<br />

“We had our friends from <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries attend with the Edge<br />

Connector Vehicle, this allows our tamariki to register to be a<br />

member of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries. What a great day for all Ngāi Te<br />

Ruahikihiki ki Taumutu whānau!"<br />

Up to $5,000 in funds is available from the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Project<br />

Fund, run by the Youth Council to support groups and individuals<br />

with events or activities that support the wellbeing of youth in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

So if you have a cool idea, or a plan in place (big or small) to deliver<br />

something great for the community, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council is<br />

keen to hear from you.<br />

This week we talk to Shelley Bakker from Recycle Recreate.<br />

Ever wondered what happens to bouncy castles at the end of their life? Mostly they end up in landfill<br />

or the ocean. But in the hands of Recycle Recreate founder Shelley Bakker, they become bags, wallets<br />

and pouches.<br />

A Prebbleton resident of 14 years, Shelley has always had a passion for creating and being sustainable.<br />

Starting with making produce bags under her brand Bags Not Plastic, she now sells a range of recycled<br />

products internationally, at the Lincoln and Prebbleton markets, and even delivers some by bike.<br />

Shelley has a passion for finding these materials, at second hand stores, blind makers, seatbelt<br />

replacers and other contacts.<br />

A red seatbelt from a Porsche is now a wallet, old tents get turned into ponchos, air bags from shipping<br />

containers become frost covers and those panniers attached to Shelley’s delivery bike used to be<br />

billboard signs.<br />

“I try to use as much as I can of each material. Some of my items are just one-offs. I like the excitement<br />

of making something totally new and unique.”<br />

By buying local you support <strong>Selwyn</strong> families and reduce your carbon footprint, she says.<br />

“It’s the sustainable side of shopping locally because you’re<br />

buying quality local made goods that are going to last,<br />

compared to super cheap things from overseas.”<br />

From supporting school fundraisers to helping run a popular<br />

clothing swap and organising the Prebbleton Market, Shelley is<br />

active in her community and continually sharing her message<br />

about sustainability.<br />

“My main thing is keeping stuff out of landfill and educating<br />

people. Most people think it’s impossible to aim for zero waste,<br />

however if every person just changed one thing, it will make a<br />

huge difference.”<br />

Southbridge win<br />

tense battle in<br />

top-of-the-table clash<br />

SPORT<br />

SOUTHBRIDGE and Waihora<br />

put on a fitting top-of-the-table<br />

clash in the Coleman Shield at<br />

Tai Tapu on Saturday.<br />

Southbridge came out on<br />

top 20-<strong>15</strong> after the scores were<br />

tied 10-10 at half-time. Neither<br />

side gave any quarter in a tense<br />

battle.<br />

Waihora gets this weekend off<br />

with the bye while Southbridge,<br />

alone at the top-of-the-table,<br />

should have a relatively troublefree<br />

appointment with Hornby.<br />

Hornby put up a much more<br />

spirited performance on Saturday<br />

against West Melton, going down<br />

11-27. But they will be no match<br />

for the competition juggernaut,<br />

Southbridge.<br />

Lincoln’s will have home<br />

ground advantage in their bid to<br />

get the season on track against a<br />

tricky Darfield on Saturday.<br />

Lincoln beat Springston 24-17<br />

at the weekend but Darfield will<br />

be a stiffer test.<br />

Lincoln roared to a 24-0<br />

Southbridge’s Isileli Fine charges like a battering ram.<br />

lead heading towards the final<br />

quarter stalled, which Springston<br />

capitalised on. They will not<br />

be able to do the same this<br />

weekend.<br />

In the other match on Saturday<br />

Prebbleton thrashed Rolleston<br />

68-12.<br />

In with<br />

the New!<br />

Well-known furniture retailer Target Furniture has taken<br />

the opportunity to open their latest store in central<br />

Christchurch – and it is certainly different from anything<br />

Christchurch shoppers have seen before.<br />

Target Furniture has had a long-term presence in<br />

Christchurch and has now relocated and reinvented<br />

the shopping experience for customers with this new<br />

concept store.<br />

The large, open store has gone and been replaced with<br />

a showroom that encourages customers to explore and<br />

discover more as they stroll through rooms that have<br />

been created to showcase the furniture. Target has<br />

partnered with Resene to illustrate the types of colours<br />

that are proving popular in New Zealand homes, and<br />

these are incorporated into the displays.<br />

“Furniture shopping should be fun, easy, inspirational<br />

and a highlight of the customer’s shopping year,” says<br />

Rob.<br />

“The new store is a result of significant local and<br />

international research, a considerable amount of recent<br />

experimentation in existing stores and feedback from<br />

customers,” says company director Rob Bielby.<br />

Technology is another innovative feature of the new<br />

store. Unlike traditional ticketing and signage, most of<br />

the signage is now digital, creating a more personalised<br />

message for customers and telling more about the<br />

Target story and the services they offer.<br />

Target is one of the first major retailers to use QR<br />

(Quick Response) labels. This allows customers to scan<br />

the ticket on their phone to get immediate access to<br />

detailed information on the furniture, including sizes,<br />

materials, guarantees, availability, and other items in the<br />

range.<br />

Brochures are also available with details of the different<br />

furniture ranges for customers not wanting to go digital,<br />

Rob says, while staff are always on hand to answer<br />

questions and offer advice.<br />

There is also a digital kiosk equipped with computers<br />

where customers can log onto the Target website and<br />

view the 2500-plus products online, with images also<br />

displayed on Facebook and Instagram.<br />

“We aim to highlight all the shopping options we offer<br />

– digital and instore. Our point of difference is the<br />

experience and we cater for all our customers’ shopping<br />

preferences – from totally digital to totally bricks and<br />

mortar.”

Wednesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2020</strong> <strong>15</strong><br />

Prompt delivery is an important part of the customer<br />

experience, Rob adds.<br />

“We have invested in our own fleet of trucks and are<br />

committed to regular weekly deliveries in Christchurch. Our<br />

goal is to have furniture delivered into Christchurch within<br />

10 days of being ordered, if it is available in our Auckland<br />

distribution centre.”<br />

Target Furniture is located on the ground-floor level of the<br />

Spotlight building on the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and<br />

Durham Street, with several other furniture outlets in the<br />

vicinity.<br />

“This encourages customers to the area as they have more<br />

options to look at,” Rob says, “and while customers do<br />

have a choice, we believe we know how to buy for Kiwi<br />

homes, and offer furniture that gives people the chance to<br />

add a dash of luxury to their home without it costing an arm<br />

and a leg.<br />

“Target is determined to shake up the traditional furniture<br />

retail landscape making fashionable, practical and<br />

affordable furniture available to everyone in a shopping<br />

environment that surprises and delights.”<br />

Kiwifruit and lime - a match made in heaven<br />

Ingredients<br />

Gluten-free pecan crust<br />

1 cup dates (pits removed)<br />

1 cup raw pecans<br />

½ cup coconut flakes<br />

1 tbsp coconut oil<br />

Pinch of sea salt<br />

Filling and topping<br />

2 cups raw unsalted cashews,<br />

soaked<br />

⅔ cups fresh squeezed lime juice<br />

(about 4 limes)<br />

1 tsp vanilla extract<br />

½ cup maple syrup<br />

½ cup full-fat coconut milk<br />

(canned)<br />

¼ cup avocado<br />

¼ cup coconut oil<br />

5-6 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced<br />

Directions<br />

Place the cashews in a large<br />

bowl and pour hot water over top.<br />

Let them to soak for 1 hour prior<br />

to making the pie filling.<br />

To make the crust: Add all of<br />

the crust ingredients to a food<br />

processor and process until quite<br />

finely and evenly ground.<br />

Add the crust mixture to either<br />

a pie pan or a 20cm round cake<br />

pan. If using a pie pan you do<br />

not need to grease the pan or use<br />

baking paper, and can simply<br />

press the crust mixture down to<br />

form a flat crust.<br />

If using a round cake pan<br />

instead you should line the pan<br />

with baking paper that has been<br />

cut in a circle to fit the bottom of<br />

the pan.<br />

You will also want to cut<br />

two strips of baking paper to<br />

approximately 5 x 35cm and<br />

lie them criss-cross across the<br />

bottom of the pan.<br />

This will make the pie easy to<br />

remove to serve from another<br />

platter once frozen for a more<br />

impressive presentation.<br />

Add the crust mixture on top<br />

of the paper layers and compress<br />

it firmly to create a solid crust<br />

by pressing firmly down using<br />

your hands over another piece of<br />

baking paper to prevent sticking.<br />

To make the filling: Drain the<br />

water from the cashews and place<br />

them in a blender along with all<br />

of the other ingredients for the<br />

filling except for the kiwifruit.<br />

Blend on high until smooth,<br />

scraping the sides of the blender<br />

with a spatula as needed.<br />

Pour the filling over top of the<br />

crust and freeze for 1-2 hours<br />

until the pie is partially set.<br />

Remove the pie from the<br />

freezer and layer the sliced<br />

kiwifruit in a decorative<br />

arrangement on top of the pie.<br />

Place the pie back into the<br />

freezer and let set another 1-2<br />

hours prior to serving. Store the<br />

pie in the freezer and remove to<br />

thaw for 30min to soften prior<br />

to serving. Cut any leftovers into<br />

individual portions so they can<br />

easily be enjoyed as a single serve<br />

dessert later instead of repeatedly<br />

thawing out the entire pie.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Give Rural NZ a share of $3b<br />

Federated Farmers has some advice for<br />

how the Government should divvy up the<br />

$3 billion infrastructure fund.<br />

The COVID Response and Recovery<br />

Fund was announced as part of Budget<br />

<strong>2020</strong>, with Cabinet announcing how the<br />

fund will be allocated.<br />

The fund, aimed at creating 20,000 jobs<br />

as part of “shovel ready” infrastructure<br />

projects, is in addition to an existing $12<br />

billion towards the New Zealand Upgrade<br />

Programme and existing Provincial<br />

Growth Fund investments.<br />

Of the fund, $708 million will go<br />

towards transport, $670 million towards<br />

community and social development,<br />

$464 million towards housing and urban<br />

development, and $460 million towards<br />

environmental projects.<br />

Investments in the fund include about<br />

$210 million for climate resilience and<br />

flood protection projects, $<strong>15</strong>5 million<br />

for transformative energy projects, about<br />

$180 million for large-scale construction<br />

projects, and $50 million for enhanced<br />

regional digital connectivity.<br />

Federated Farmers President and<br />

commerce spokesperson Andrew<br />

Hoggard says the Government should<br />

have an eye to building longer-term<br />

resilience and putting in infrastructure<br />

that underpins increased primary<br />

industry production.<br />

Following some of the worst droughts on<br />

record, Hoggard says the Government’s<br />

$210 million fund for<br />

climate resilience and<br />

flood protection is a<br />

prime candidate for<br />

boosting community<br />

water storage.<br />

He says the $708<br />

million put aside for<br />

transport shouldn’t<br />

all go to expensive<br />

trainsets, cycleways,<br />

walkways and metro<br />

motorways.<br />

“There needs to be<br />

increased investment<br />

in the maintenance<br />

and improvement<br />

of rural roads and<br />

bridges to better<br />

support transport<br />

connections heavily<br />

relied upon by rural<br />

and provincial people,”<br />

says Hoggard.<br />

“Many rural roads<br />

are already in a poor<br />

state and numerous<br />

rural bridges are<br />

past their designed<br />

lifetimes.”<br />

Hoggard says for the $670 million for<br />

community development, investment<br />

in improving the limited broadband<br />

capability in rural areas — and not just<br />

more communications hubs in provincial<br />

towns — will help level the digital<br />

divide between town and country and<br />

support increased uptake of emerging<br />

technologies on farms to lift productivity<br />

and the nation’s earnings.<br />

“As for the $<strong>15</strong>5 million put aside for<br />

energy projects, there’s a strong case<br />

for improving the reliability of rural<br />

electricity supply, and support for farmscale<br />

and community-scale generation<br />

that moves us further towards that<br />

climate-friendly goal of 100% renewable<br />

energy.”<br />

Quality beef bulls wanted<br />

Making quality beef genetics easier for dairy farmers<br />

to access is the aim of a new industry partnership.<br />

Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) Genetics and<br />

LIC are collaborating to help fulfil growing demand<br />

for beef genetics suitable for New Zealand dairy cows.<br />

The collaboration has seen the creation of the<br />

B+LNZ Genetics Dairy Beef Progeny Test, devised<br />

to identify quality beef bulls and help enable their<br />

widespread use for dairy beef.<br />

Beef breeders can nominate their best bulls for<br />

consideration for the programme, with successful<br />

bulls then becoming part of the progeny test scheme.<br />

B+LNZ Genetics and LIC says this will offer breeders<br />

a potential path to the dairy market for the first time.<br />

B+LNZ Genetics’ general manager, Dan Brier says<br />

he is excited about the collaboration and says dairy<br />

farmers are an important and valued part of B+LNZ.<br />

LIC chief executive, Wayne McNee says the<br />

collaboration helps add value to all stages of the dairy<br />

beef market.<br />

“Beef sales are likely to increase significantly over the<br />

next decade and it is important LIC aligns itself with<br />

industry leaders such as B+LNZ Genetics and beef<br />

breeders to ensure the best beef bulls are available for<br />

the domestic and international dairy markets.<br />

“We know farmers are focused more than ever on<br />

doing their bit to help reduce the number of bobby<br />

calves leaving their properties and the addition of this<br />

progeny test will further help with this objective.”<br />

Nominations close 14 August with successful<br />

farmers notified 28 August.<br />

Mazda expands its SUV line-up<br />

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

SELWYN TIMES<br />

MAZDA COULDN’T put it more<br />

simply, its new crossover sport<br />

utility vehicle – the CX-30 – is<br />

bigger than a CX-3 and smaller<br />

than a CX-5.<br />

I once wrote that the CX-3 was<br />

my favourite car in the whole<br />

Mazda line-up, but that feeling<br />

wasn’t shared by everyone, it took<br />

a lot of criticism for a lack of space<br />

in the rear seating compartment.<br />

My argument was that if you were<br />

mostly driving with one or two-up,<br />

then that became irrelevant.<br />

Whichever way you look at it,<br />

those who were captured by the<br />

CX-3’s dynamics everywhere else<br />

will find the CX-30 a fabulous<br />

driving vehicle, and it gets the<br />

benefit of extra space in the rear<br />

seats, along with increased load<br />

space. Of course, the CX-30<br />

also shares the DNA of its other<br />

stablemates that span a wide crosssection<br />

of the SUV market, there’s<br />

a size for all families depending on<br />

how many travel in the vehicle on a<br />

daily basis.<br />

The CX-30 is also priced midway<br />

between CX-3 and CX-5, there<br />

are three variants – GSX, GTX<br />

and Limited – the range starts at<br />

$41,490 for a 2-litre model, the<br />

other two are 2.5-litre powered<br />

and list at $44,990 and $50,990<br />

respectively. Factor in the 2.5-litre<br />

variants are four-wheel-drive, the<br />

2-litre engine drives out the front<br />

wheels only.<br />

I’m scheduled into all three<br />

variants, and I’m really looking<br />

forward to the two remaining<br />

drives – the CX-30 is a smart piece<br />

of kit, and if you have read any of<br />

my recent Mazda evaluations you’ll<br />

notice that a pattern has developed,<br />

I’m constantly saying the product<br />

that is coming out of the Mazda<br />

factories is high on quality and<br />

desire.<br />

My first drive was the mid-spec<br />

model, and even though it doesn’t<br />

get all the bells and whistles it will<br />

still satisfy, I particularly like it for<br />

its cloth trim, I don’t need leather.<br />

It took me many years to fully<br />

relate to the traditional sport utility<br />

vehicle, and now I can certainly see<br />

their appeal through functionality<br />

and practicality, and you can’t help<br />

but being impressed with the way<br />

the CX-30 drives and handles, it<br />

has form and function built into<br />

every aspect.<br />

Under the bonnet sits the fourcylinder<br />

2488cc engine, there are<br />

no surprises here, it is an engine<br />

that has been utilised by Mazda<br />

for several years in this form. It’s<br />

part of a SkyActive range that has<br />

been constantly upgraded and<br />

engineered for maximum efficiency<br />

both in terms of power outputs and<br />

fuel efficiency.<br />

It is rated with 139kW and<br />

252Nm, both outputs realised at<br />

traditional points in the rev band<br />

– 6000 and 4000rpm respectively.<br />

TRENDY: The Mazda CX-30 offers traditional sport utility<br />

vehicle capacity.<br />

CX-30: Comprehensive series that fits seamlessly into Mazda’s range of SUVs.<br />

The engine is coupled to a sixspeed<br />

automatic transmission,<br />

also very traditional. But the<br />

reality of this is that over time<br />

and development the two main<br />

engineering pieces work perfectly<br />

together, the electronic mapping<br />

between the two is fluid and, of<br />

course, very smooth.<br />

This engine works well in the<br />

CX-30, of course it feels more<br />

responsive than what it does in<br />

the CX-5 because of the weight<br />

difference between the two models,<br />

the CX-30 feels feisty and vibrant,<br />

responding willingly to throttle<br />

application and is always hooked<br />

into the right gearing.<br />

The norm these days is to<br />

incorporate driver-selectable<br />

engine management modes and<br />

the CX-30 is no exception,<br />

although there is just a choice of<br />

two, the default mode being<br />

a normal setting which I use<br />

almost always. There is also a<br />

sport mode which is selfexplanatory,<br />

it is there for when<br />

overtaking opportunities present<br />

themselves and it is also useful<br />

for that long hill climb through<br />

to Akaroa, it keeps the engine<br />

working in the point of strength<br />

and maximum delivery.<br />

Mazda claim fuel usage figures<br />

of 6.8-litres per 100km for the<br />

2.5 engine on a combined cycle<br />

average. I tried reaching that figure<br />

there. When I took the evaluation<br />

vehicle back to the dealership it<br />

was listing at around 7.4l/100km,<br />

which was promisingly close.<br />

At 100km/h on the highway the<br />

engine is quite relaxed working<br />

away at 1900rpm, at that speed<br />

it sips fuel instantaneously at the<br />

rate of 6l/100km. That translates to<br />

economical motoring if you are on<br />

that long road trip.<br />

As you would expect from a<br />

company that has long had a<br />

history of sports car development,<br />

the CX-30 also handles with a<br />

feel that is most unlike a tall sport<br />

utility vehicle. Sure, at 1.54m there<br />

is a bit of body movement, even<br />

with moderate spring and damper<br />

firming there is going to be some<br />

gravitational transition, but it<br />

is well arrested and occupants<br />

aren’t lurched through directional<br />

changes.<br />

I took the evaluation on a burst<br />

up and down the twists and turns<br />

of the Waimakariri River gorge<br />

road and it felt delightful with solid<br />

turn-in and suspension freedom,<br />

he latter garnered through the fourwheel<br />

fully independent system.<br />

Obviously it needs that design to<br />

get drive to the rear wheels, but<br />

the point I’m making is that the<br />

suspension is quality through<br />

and through and is the perfect<br />

compromise between comfort and<br />

handling ability.<br />

It must also be pointed out that<br />

four-wheel-drive also has on-seal<br />

grip and handling benefits, the<br />

CX-30 feels well attached to the<br />

road surface and that is a key safety<br />

ingredient. It works alongside the<br />

suite of safety features that Mazda<br />

has long developed in all of its<br />

product range.<br />

The CX-30 is far more than a<br />

stretched CX-3, it draws on all the<br />

fundamentals sport utility vehicles<br />

require, and packages them in a<br />

comprehensive range.<br />

As much as I’m looking forward<br />

to getting into the other variants,<br />

I’m also a huge believer in the<br />

CX-3.<br />

The choice as a buyer must be<br />

very complicated, but it’s great<br />

to know that Mazda has all bases<br />

covered.<br />

From family cars to work trucks and<br />

supercars to fixer-uppers.<br />

Gardening<br />

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

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Plan your summer vege garden<br />

JULY IS ONE of the more<br />

difficult winter months in the<br />

home garden. It is often wet and<br />

cold – conditions that are not<br />

conducive to working in the<br />

garden.<br />

However, on days that are clear<br />

and sunny, there are many tasks<br />

requiring attention.<br />

Plant flowering annuals for<br />

pops of colour<br />

Displays of flowering annuals<br />

can add a little cheer and colour<br />

in a dreary winter garden, whether<br />

grown in flower beds, containers<br />

or decks and patios. Primulas<br />

are often at their absolute best in<br />

<strong>July</strong>. With all flowering annuals,<br />

commence dead heading (the<br />

removal of dead flowers) to encourage<br />

continuous flowering.<br />

Winter flowering annuals<br />

include ageratum, calendulas,<br />

cinerarias, cornflowers, nemesias,<br />

pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragons,<br />

stock and sweet peas.<br />

growth and tie down fruiting<br />

leaders on frames or wires.<br />

In warm sheltered areas, citrus<br />

can now be harvested, mandarins,<br />

lemons, limes, and navel oranges.<br />

Berries<br />

It’s the final month for pruning<br />

vigorous growing berry<br />

fruit, raspberries, boysenberries,<br />

loganberries, loganberries, and<br />

gooseberries. Remove all the old<br />

growth and reduce the amount of<br />

last summer’s canes. Tie the canes<br />

to existing wires or framework.<br />

Lawns<br />

There is little work to do on<br />

lawns this month and it is often<br />

best to keep off them if they have<br />

become excessively wet. Moss<br />

may occur in wet, shady parts of<br />

the lawn but this is no cause for<br />

alarm as it will disappear over<br />

the dry summer months. Do take<br />

Vegetable garden<br />

Continue harvesting your<br />

winter vegetables and regularly<br />

inspect your plants for slugs and<br />

snails. They appear to be hardier<br />

every year!<br />

If you have sown a green crop<br />

this year, then towards the end of<br />

the month or August (once plants<br />

are about 30cm and before they<br />

flower) chop it up dig it into existing<br />

soil in preparation for spring<br />

plantings. Green crops help improve<br />

soil structure and provide<br />

organic Nitrogen naturally.<br />

Now is a good time to plan<br />

your summer vegetable garden.<br />

Following the experience of the<br />

Covid-19 outbreak, consider expanding<br />

the area of your summer<br />

vegetable garden and the range of<br />

vegetables that you can grow.<br />

Fruit trees and kiwifruit<br />

Finish pruning deciduous<br />

(sheds leaves in autumn) fruit<br />

trees. Spray with a copper compound<br />

to help prevent re-infection<br />

of fungal diseases in spring.<br />

Kiwifruit vines can now be<br />

pruned. Remove all the surplus<br />

note of areas that retain water<br />

long after heavy rain as they may<br />

require additional drainage to be<br />

installed in summer.<br />

Trees and shrubs<br />

An excellent time to carry out<br />

any further tree or shrub plantings<br />

on your property. Always<br />

select healthy ‘vigorous’ looking<br />

new specimens and ensure they<br />

are ‘fit for purpose’ i.e. they will<br />

achieve what you require where<br />

they are planted. When planting,<br />

pop in a planter tab to give them<br />

the best start.<br />

Rose pruning commences<br />

Most roses have now shed their<br />

leaves and can be pruned. Remove<br />

all dead or diseased wood,<br />

remember most rose bushes, even<br />

though quite healthy, will have<br />

BUSY: If you are planting trees this winter make sure they are<br />

fit for purpose. Flowering annuals will add a little cheer to a<br />

dreary winter garden. Prune your berries this month.<br />

some dead wood.<br />

Prune to outward facing buds<br />

and remove any wood that is<br />

thinner than pencil thickness. If<br />

some plants have a lot of dead/<br />

diseased wood, it is advisable<br />

to remove the specimens and<br />

replace with new rose bushes.<br />

With climbing roses, train the<br />

main leaders (growing up from<br />

ground) on a horizontal axis as<br />

this encourages the production of<br />

flowers.<br />

With all roses, a spray with copper<br />

compound after the completion<br />

of pruning helps minimise<br />

reinfection of fungal disease in<br />

spring.<br />

Opening 30th May <strong>2020</strong>!<br />

Building blocks to a new home<br />

Anyone intending to build a new home<br />

should have the builder’s contract<br />

checked out by an experienced lawyer.<br />

A payment schedule can also minimise<br />

financial risks. Issues that you may have<br />

to deal with include:<br />

the deposit, guarantees and warranties<br />

If you want to compare building<br />

companies, it’s important to get down<br />

to finer details such as how many power<br />

points there are per room, the type of<br />

windows you are having or which paint<br />

finishes are included.<br />

Questions to ask builders:<br />

• Do you have a completion guarantee<br />

and how does it work?<br />

• Is there a loss of deposit guarantee?<br />

• Is the company a Registered Master<br />

Builder and does it use third-party<br />

written guarantees?<br />

• What is the schedule for payments?<br />

• How are the deposit and<br />

progress payments<br />

administered?<br />

• Are they held in a solicitor’s trust<br />

fund?<br />

• Will the master franchisor complete<br />

the build if the franchisee goes out of<br />

business<br />

• What are the exact specs?<br />

• Are the prices fixed?<br />

• What is excluded from the build?<br />

• Are there any restrictions on<br />

driveways or any other connections?<br />

• Can you speak with clients who have<br />

just completed a build?<br />

Do your homework before you decide<br />

on a building company and you will have<br />

a less stressful time once the building<br />

process starts.<br />

BY APPOINTMENT<br />

Knowing what could happen<br />

if you can’t complete a sale<br />

Life can sometimes take an unexpected<br />

turn when you’re buying a house.<br />

Knowing what could happen to your<br />

deposit and sale and purchase agreement<br />

if your circumstances suddenly change<br />

and you are unable to complete the<br />

deal will leave you in a much stronger<br />

position.<br />

“There are many “what-ifs” to consider<br />

when buying a home and I urge you to<br />

talk through your concerns with your<br />

lawyer or conveyancer as soon as your<br />

circumstances change,” says Real Estate<br />

Authority (REA) chief executive, Kevin<br />

Lampen-Smith.<br />

“A sale and purchase agreement is a<br />

legally binding contract between you and<br />

the seller, which becomes unconditional<br />

once the allocated time for meeting<br />

your conditions has been reached,” says<br />

Lampen-Smith.<br />

“Once the agreement for sale and<br />

purchase becomes unconditional, then<br />

you not only don’t get your deposit back,<br />

but also face the likelihood of having<br />

to purchase the property – even if you<br />

can’t afford to – or having to cancel the<br />

agreement and be sued for any loss the<br />

seller suffers as a result of you failing to<br />

settle the sale. So, if your circumstances<br />

suddenly change, you’ll need to speak to<br />

your lawyer as soon as possible.”<br />

Getting finances sorted to buy a<br />

property isn’t easy, but understanding<br />

the different deposits when you buy a<br />

house can help. There are two different<br />

kinds of deposits – the deposit you pay<br />

when you make an offer and your bank<br />

deposit.<br />

A buyer will usually be required to pay<br />

a deposit when the sale and purchase<br />

agreement is signed by both parties. The<br />

deposit paid is often about 10 per cent of<br />

the total price you are offering – you can<br />

negotiate a different rate if you need to –<br />

and is usually held in a trust account by<br />

the real estate agent. The real estate agent<br />

takes their commission fee out of this<br />

amount when the agreement becomes<br />

unconditional and the remaining balance<br />

goes to the seller.<br />

When you arrange a home loan with<br />

a bank, you must have a certain amount<br />

of funds to use as a deposit – your bank<br />

deposit. This deposit will more than<br />

likely be different from the amount your<br />

sale and purchase agreement states that<br />

you must pay the seller. For example,<br />

your bank may need you to have 20 per<br />

cent of the purchase price available as<br />

a bank deposit in order to secure your<br />

mortgage, even if you only have to pay<br />

the seller a 10 per cent deposit.<br />

“When drawing up a sale and purchase<br />

agreement, you can include conditions of<br />

the sale, such as a title search, valuation,<br />

LIM report, obtaining finance, obtaining<br />

insurance and builder’s inspection,”<br />

Lampen-Smith says.<br />

“Including conditions can really help<br />

– you can even negotiate your sale and<br />

purchase deposit.”<br />

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

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

Quality with appealing features<br />

Imagination, efficient use of space and<br />

a quality build are all apt descriptors of<br />

Golden Homes’ new showhome at The<br />

Borough.<br />

Located in Faringdon’s latest showhome<br />

village, this beautiful 168sqm home sits<br />

well on its 540sqm section, making it<br />

a must-see for anyone looking to build<br />

under 200sqm (especially first home<br />

buyers).<br />

A standout point in the showhome, is<br />

the thought which has gone into its design,<br />

fittings and features.<br />

Slats have been used to create division<br />

between the lounge and living area while<br />

built-in cabinetry in the dining room<br />

provides a window seat and storage space,<br />

all in one. There is also a wider than usual<br />

study nook with built-in cabinetry.<br />

A cathedral ceiling runs through the<br />

lounge and living area. Along with this,<br />

a generous number of windows and two<br />

sliders, make for a light, spacious living<br />

space. In the living area, a double stacker<br />

leads out to a patio, while a second slider<br />

accesses a rear patio and the garden from<br />

the dining room.<br />

Features within the kitchen, include<br />

engineered stone bench tops; black sinks<br />

with tower faucet in the kitchen island<br />

where there is also room to sit, mingle or<br />

dine; a dishwasher, induction cooktop and<br />

built in oven; and a walk-in pantry.<br />

A little luxury has been incorporated<br />

into the master bedroom where there<br />

is a walk-in robe and ensuite with tiled<br />

floor and walk-in shower. Popular with<br />

viewers is the LED heated mirrors in both<br />

bathrooms.<br />

LED lighting, a RibRaft foundation and<br />

RAB board bracing (giving a rigid bearing,<br />

as well as thermal and acoustic break)<br />

are all standard to Golden Homes, as is<br />

wallpaper feature walls, engineered stone<br />

bench tops and a heat pump.<br />

“Our philosophy is to be transparent<br />

with everything inclusive so buyers know<br />

what they are getting. This is especially<br />

important for first home buyers. We<br />

provide clients with a quote which<br />

includes the driveway, patios, pathways,<br />

letter box, boundary and internal fencing<br />

with a gate, and clothesline,” advises Dean<br />

McGuigan, Director of Golden Homes<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Dean and his sales team are passionate<br />

about quality and building a ‘better home’,<br />

right down to the smallest detail like the<br />

hardware chosen and use of solid timber<br />

for skirtings, doorways and windows,<br />

as well as fire retardant lining under the<br />

roofing iron.<br />

Golden Homes’ has received positive<br />

feedback on their latest Faringdon<br />

showhome. House and land packages for<br />

this home come under $550,000 (GST<br />

inclusive) when sited on a 460-500sqm<br />

section.<br />

Golden Homes’ The Borough<br />

showhome is located at 45 Lanner Drive,<br />

The Borough, Faringdon, Rolleston, and<br />

is open: 12noon to 4pm, every day.<br />

Show homes<br />

the ultimate way to shop around<br />

Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an<br />

extensive array of very good quality show homes.<br />

Building companies build show homes<br />

to demonstrate their workmanship,<br />

display innovative design ideas and<br />

present a snapshot into a new and<br />

luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the<br />

latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.<br />

A show home can inspire you in a way<br />

nothing else can. You can absorb the<br />

ambiance they present and admire the<br />

innovative techniques, new materials<br />

and technology.<br />

You can ask questions, take notes<br />

and compare. You can see at a glance<br />

features you would love to emulate or<br />

would avoid when building your home.<br />

Best of all, you ;will see the building<br />

companies’ attention to detail.<br />

Show homes are the perfect way to get<br />

a good idea of pricing, discover good<br />

quality and value, learn about superior<br />

use of space, future-proofing, ongoing<br />

maintenance and long-term returns.<br />

So what are you waiting for? Check<br />

out our maps, grab a notepad and<br />

pencil and begin the exciting project of<br />

building your own home.
