‘Shovel ready’ roading package<br />
denied Government funding<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
THE DISTRICT has missed<br />
out on millions of dollars in<br />
Government ‘shovel ready’<br />
projects funding.<br />
The district council’s application<br />
was for a roading package<br />
that would bring forward a range<br />
of pavement renewals that had<br />
been deferred as well as upgrade<br />
125km of road in areas across the<br />
district.<br />
The works<br />
spread across<br />
the district<br />
council’s<br />
2500km maintained<br />
roading<br />
network and<br />
includes works<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
on both higher<br />
volume arterial<br />
roads close to<br />
Christchurch<br />
and those in the rural areas of<br />
the Canterbury Plains serving<br />
dairy and other primary production<br />
activities.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton said the<br />
decision was “very disappointing.”<br />
District council asset manager<br />
transportation Andrew Mazey<br />
said the district council did not<br />
receive a specific reason why the<br />
proposal was rejected.<br />
“We were told the value of the<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: What are your<br />

Government ‘shovel ready’ funding.<br />
Email matt.slaughter@starmedia.kiwi<br />
submitted projects was much<br />
greater than the funding available,<br />
so some projects were not<br />
able to be included,” he said.<br />
The fund received 1924 submissions<br />
across New Zealand<br />
and funding was agreed for<br />
about 150 projects.<br />
The proposal the district<br />
council submitted to Crown<br />
Infrastructure Partners, which<br />
is managing the funding, did<br />
not include a specific number of<br />
jobs the roading package would<br />
create.<br />

THAT’S A big blow on page<br />
1 today – the Government’s<br />
‘no’ to the district council’s<br />
bid for $13.5 million of<br />
‘shovel ready’ funding.<br />
Given what is happening<br />
with money being sloshed<br />
around up north, I would<br />
have thought <strong>Selwyn</strong>, one<br />
of New Zealand’s fastest<br />
growing districts, would have<br />
secured a reasonable chunk<br />
of ‘shovel ready’ money.<br />
‘Shovel ready’ is about<br />
getting the economic wheels<br />
turning. Job creation is vital.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s application seems<br />
a bit short on job creation<br />
details but neither the council<br />
or Government will say if<br />
this was a factor.<br />
Said Infrastructure<br />
Minister Shane Jones: “Job<br />
creation was one of a number<br />
of criteria the applications<br />
needed to meet and not the<br />
sole consideration.”<br />
But I suspect it was a big<br />
consideration.<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />
POLICE MAY have broken an<br />
organised operation which has<br />
been stealing utes and pick-ups<br />
to on-sell or break down for<br />
parts.<br />
Senior Sergeant Stephen<br />
McDaniel said some of these<br />
were stolen<br />
from the<br />
district, others<br />
were stolen in<br />
Christchurch<br />
and across<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Armed<br />
police have<br />
raided<br />
properties in<br />
Oxford and Rangiora in recent<br />
weeks, the latest last week.<br />
Eight stolen Toyota Hiluxs<br />
and Land Cruisers have been<br />
recovered. Police also found<br />
firearms and cannabis at the<br />
properties, and a stolen trailer.<br />
As well as the Hiluxs and<br />
Land Cruisers, police are also<br />
focusing on a spate of Ford<br />
Couriers which have been<br />
targeted as part of Operation<br />
360.<br />
Nineteen Couriers, made<br />
between 2000 and 2006, have<br />
been stolen in Canterbury in the<br />
past six months.<br />
Senior Sergeant Stephen<br />
McDaniel said three people<br />
have been arrested and charged<br />
with theft, cultivating cannabis<br />
and processing firearms<br />

offences.<br />
More arrests are likely, he said.<br />
Said McDaniel of the vehicles<br />
recovered: “They’re being<br />
rebirthed. So, legitimate plates<br />
and numbers are being put on<br />
them to enable them to be sold.<br />
Others are used and stripped for<br />
parts.”<br />
BUSTED: Eight<br />
stolen Toyota Land<br />
Cruisers and Hiluxs<br />
were recovered<br />
during police raids<br />
last month and<br />
police are also<br />
looking for stolen<br />
Ford Couriers and<br />
their parts. <br />
He said there was a demand<br />
for the vehicles and parts.<br />
He said police were armed<br />
when they carried out the<br />
raids but were met with no<br />
resistance.<br />
McDaniel said the occupants<br />
of the properties they searched<br />
are not gang members.<br />

‘We thought<br />
we had a really<br />
strong case’<br />
• From page 1<br />
“Our view at the time was that<br />
this project would stimulate the<br />
industry at a time of uncertainty,<br />
retaining certainty for existing<br />
contractor staff and adding new<br />
hires where necessary, but the<br />
exact number of new hires was not<br />
possible to calculate,” said Mazey.<br />
Infrastructure Minister Shane<br />
Jones was a part of the decisionmaking<br />
process.<br />
“Job creation was one of a<br />
number of criteria the applications<br />
needed to meet and not the sole<br />
consideration,” he said.<br />
Said Broughton: “We worked really<br />
hard and staff didn’t get their<br />
Easter break to meet what was<br />
asked for from the Government. It<br />
wasn’t something that we entered<br />
into lightly.”<br />
Broughton said the council<br />
shortened the list of projects down<br />
to one they thought was the best<br />
fit.<br />
“We thought we had a really<br />
strong case that was going to<br />
provide jobs, be able to be implemented<br />
immediately and help with<br />
the response to Covid-19.”<br />
As part of the Government’s<br />
response to Covid-19, it asked the<br />
public and private infrastructure<br />
sector impacted by the pandemic<br />
to submit ‘shovel ready’ projects<br />
for funding consideration.<br />

Grew up on<br />
a sheep and<br />
beef farm in<br />
Mt Somers,<br />
went to school<br />
in Christchurch<br />
before<br />
studying journalism at the New<br />
Zealand Broadcasting School.<br />
First job was in a shearing<br />
shed. Since then has worked<br />
as a journalist, communications<br />
manager in big tourism<br />
businesses, Parliamentary press<br />
secretary to Simon Bridges<br />
and Sir Bill English under the<br />
last National-led government.<br />
Prior to beginning full-time<br />
campaigning, was working as<br />
a portfolio manager at New<br />
Zealand Trade and Enterprise,<br />
responsible for the trade development<br />
of a wide range of<br />
Canterbury-based exporters,<br />
primarily in the agricultural and<br />
manufacturing sectors.<br />
Wants to be the MP for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
because of “our ambitious, fastgrowing<br />
region is facing challenges<br />
that need an experienced,<br />
capable representative to help<br />
tackle.”<br />
“Parliament needs more rural<br />
representation - particularly<br />
rural women. While my morals<br />
and convictions are deeply<br />
rooted in my rural upbringing, I<br />
am also a socially-liberal, modern<br />
urbanite - so I bring a broad<br />
insight to a number of facets of<br />
New Zealand society and community.”<br />
Priorities for <strong>Selwyn</strong>:<br />
• Support local businesses by<br />
fighting hard for Governmentfunded<br />
construction and infrastructure<br />
projects such as the<br />
rebuild and repair of a number<br />
of our schools, as well as the<br />
four-laning of SH1 from Rolleston<br />
to Ashburton – a $1 billion<br />
project that will keep approximately<br />
2000 people in work.<br />
•Fight for our local farmers<br />
impacted by punitive regulations<br />
and ensure legislation is backed<br />
by science and best international<br />
practice so these family businesses<br />
can be supported to farm<br />
their way to better environmental<br />
outcomes.<br />
• The preservation and<br />
conservation of our natural environment.<br />
I will work constructively<br />
with local authorities and<br />
community groups to support<br />
projects and initiatives to help<br />
mitigate the impacts of climate<br />
change.<br />
Three main characteristics an<br />
MP needs to serve their constituents:<br />
• Genuine in their desire to<br />
serve people, to work with them<br />
and for them to help solve their<br />
problems, improve their lives,<br />
and those of their families and<br />
communities<br />
• To have a relentless<br />
commitment to the role, their<br />
electorate and, above all, their<br />
constituents.<br />
• Be available and accessible to<br />
their constituents.<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and<br />
Control Bill: I will be voting<br />
against this referendum. It is<br />
a poorly-thought out proposal<br />
that does not go anywhere near<br />
far enough to address the social<br />
impacts of cannabis legalisation,<br />
not least mental health. Not<br />
only that but, unlike the End<br />
of Life Choice, Flag and MMP<br />
referendum, the Bill has not been<br />
through Parliament or the scrutiny<br />
of a Select Committee so the<br />
public is being asked to vote on a<br />
law that we don’t even know the<br />
final details of. I’ve tried it once<br />
as a student in my early 20s and<br />
have never used it since.<br />
End of Life Choice Act: Will<br />
be voting for the End of Life<br />
Choice Act 2019. The legislation<br />
contains substantial safeguards.<br />
This is a matter of freedom<br />
of choice and I believe that<br />
if, by offering a person with a<br />
terminal illness the choice – thus<br />
removing the terrible fear<br />
many of us have of dying – then<br />
that is the just and humane thing<br />
to do.<br />

so “we can reach an Aotearoa<br />

climate is stable and nature is<br />
protected.’’<br />
Three priorities for <strong>Selwyn</strong>:<br />
• Support farmers to transition<br />
to organic plant production to<br />
ensure jobs remain after the food<br />
revolution.<br />
• Embed civics education<br />
in schools and make 16 the<br />
minimum voting age to enhance<br />
democracy.<br />
• Initiate a food subsidy and<br />
levy system so that fewer people<br />
get food-related chronic diseases.<br />
Three main characteristics<br />
an MP needs to serve their<br />
constituents:<br />
• Fairness<br />
• Transparency<br />
• Accountability<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and<br />
Control Bill:<br />
Voting yes. I have never used<br />
cannabis. I don’t consume any<br />
type of harmful drug and I plan<br />
on never doing so.<br />
End of Life Choice Act:<br />
Voting yes. Everyone should be<br />
free to choose and do whatever<br />
they like as long as they are not<br />
harming anyone else, are of an<br />
appropriate age and are aware of<br />
the consequences.<br />

Wednesday <strong>October</strong> 7 <strong>2020</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
Wants to be MP for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
to make a difference as an independent<br />
and support the recovery<br />
from the impacts of Covid-19.<br />
“As an independent candidate<br />
I do not have to align with party<br />
polices and I will work with all<br />
parties, MPs and government for<br />
the benefit of expanding <strong>Selwyn</strong>.”<br />
Three priorities for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
are:<br />
Health – Advocate for mental<br />
health services to be provided<br />
locally iand reduce the cost of<br />
dental healthcare.<br />
Education – Provide free<br />
tertiary education for all <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents young and old to retrain<br />
our workforce for the post<br />
Covid-19 world, which will also<br />
support our tertiary sector.<br />
Water – Improve the quality of<br />
drinking water and clean up our<br />
rivers by actively supporting local<br />
farmers.<br />
Three main characteristics<br />
an MP needs to serve their constituents:<br />
Open – Be honest, do not lie<br />
and take personal responsibility<br />
for mistakes<br />
Considerate – Listen to constituents<br />
and support their views<br />
Objective – Achieving policy<br />
aims effectively and on time<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and<br />
Control Bill: Likely to vote yes.<br />
Legalising recreational cannabis<br />
will be able to better control<br />
the quality of supply. There needs<br />
to be robust testing for driving<br />
and industries that involve operating<br />
machinery .<br />
I last used cannabis in 1986<br />
when taking my finals at university<br />
and I passed with honours!<br />
I do not currently use cannabis<br />
medicinally or otherwise.<br />
End of Life Choice Bill: Will<br />
probably vote yes. My view is that<br />
we should all have the choice to<br />
die with dignity. I can confirm<br />
that I will probably be voting yes<br />
in this referendum.<br />

“In the last two years I’ve campaigned<br />
relentlessly for David<br />
Seymour’s End of Life Choice<br />
Act. This was underpinned<br />
by an in-depth interview with<br />
Newstalk ZB’s Chris Lynch<br />
which I’m proud to say created<br />
an explosion of interest in this<br />
important issue.”<br />
Three priorities for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
are:<br />
Implement ACT’s five-point<br />
costed plan for our economic<br />
recovery, including tax cuts,<br />
lowering debt and returning to<br />
surplus sooner.<br />
Repeal the Firearms Legislation<br />
Act, including the threat of a<br />
firearms “register” .<br />
Support hard working rural<br />
people, which includes replacing<br />
the Resource Management Act.<br />
Three main characteristics an<br />
MP needs to serve their constituents:<br />
Provide easy access and communication<br />
for the <strong>Selwyn</strong> community.<br />
Show the persistence and determination<br />
already demonstrated<br />
by David Seymour and Brooke<br />
van Velden when they pushed<br />
through the EOLC Act.<br />
Make decisions based on ACT<br />
Party principles of respecting the<br />
freedoms and rights of the individual.<br />
The freedom of speech so<br />
hard fought by previous generations<br />
should be protected at all<br />
costs.<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and<br />
Control Bill: Likey to vote yes.<br />
“Anything is better than the status<br />
quo. Seizing gang assets and<br />
reducing their income is a huge<br />
benefit in the battle for a safe<br />
country for our citizens.”<br />
Yes, I have tried it. No, I’m not<br />
a current user.<br />
End of Life Choice Bill: The<br />
EOLC offers people like me, who<br />
live with terminal cancer, the<br />
comfort of knowing that we can<br />
choose a death with dignity, that<br />
reflects the life we have led. That<br />
choice should be afforded all NZers<br />
who fit the strict criteria such<br />
as being mentally competent and<br />
within six months of death.<br />

are:<br />
· Create and keep jobs in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> to ensure our people and<br />
communities thrive.<br />
· Support for small businesses,<br />
schools, primary industries and<br />

· Ensure our growth is supported<br />

Three main characteristics an<br />

· Hard working and committed.<br />
· A strong advocate for the<br />
region, its industries and issues.<br />
· Available for you<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and<br />
Control Bill: The Bill’s main<br />
purpose is to reduce cannabisrelated<br />
harm to individuals,<br />
families/whānau and communities.<br />
I don’t think our current system<br />
works. Voting yes will ensure<br />
ELECTION <strong>2020</strong> 5<br />
that we can regulate the use of<br />
marijuana to better manage<br />
health impacts and minimise the<br />
harm to our communities<br />
I tried cannabis a long time<br />
ago, I didn’t enjoy it and I don’t<br />
use it.<br />
End of Life Choice Act: I<br />
believe that people who are suffering<br />
from terminal illnesses<br />
should have the option of a dignified<br />
death on their own terms. I<br />
will be supporting the End of Life<br />
Choice Act.<br />

ELECTION <strong>2020</strong><br />
New Conservative’s Policies offer real<br />
hope to New Zealanders from all walks<br />
of life. With income splitting and the first<br />
$20,000 housing tax free, investing in<br />
housing, hospitals, and education. With<br />
great strategies for economic recovery and<br />
belief in New Zealanders who are very capable<br />
at overcoming obstacles in life with<br />
good old “can do” attitudes to life.<br />
My three priorities for <strong>Selwyn</strong> are:<br />
•Supporting Farmers- Water storage<br />
•Rural Medical support including Mental<br />
Health<br />
•Supporting our Youth<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and Control Bill<br />
To me cannabis is having a devastating<br />
affect on our youth and families – destroying<br />
lives. It is a gateway drug that is way<br />
more potent today than ever before. I will<br />
be voting no<br />
No I’ve never used it<br />
End of Life Choice Act: Euthanasia is a<br />
dangerous thing to bring into any society<br />
and sends a very loud message to our<br />
youth and others that if life gets tough –<br />
you can opt out! life is expendable. Our<br />
young people need hope and they need<br />
to be valued and encouraged – I believe euthanasia<br />
sends the wrong message.<br />
I will vote no.<br />
Jerry Larason,<br />
Advance New<br />
Zealand<br />
Comes from a farming<br />
background. Says he<br />
and wife Rebecca grew<br />
a local appliance repair<br />
company into a United<br />
States nationwide<br />
then international<br />
business. Arrived in New Zealand in 1992.<br />
Campaigns against government “bureaucracies<br />
and overbearing institutions”.<br />
Went on a hunger strike outside IAG’s<br />
Addington offices in 2013 over earthquake<br />
issues.<br />
Priorities for <strong>Selwyn</strong>:<br />
•Sever New Zealand’s ties to global<br />
agendas and corporate interests and reestablish<br />
our full sovereignty, including<br />
repealing the recently rushed through and<br />
draconian laws against the reasonable use<br />
of farmland and support Farmers in their<br />
fight to survive in the current economic<br />
atmosphere.<br />
•Assist local businesses after the recent<br />
pressures of Covid-19 lockdowns.<br />
•Reopen the borders while protecting<br />
the vulnerable and reverse the hammering<br />
approach implemented by the current<br />
government.<br />
3. The three main characteristics an MP<br />
needs to serve their constituents<br />
•Ears<br />
•Ears<br />
•And a brain that will actually register to<br />
their signal<br />
Cannabis Legalisation and Control Bill<br />
Will vote no. Says the Bill should not be<br />
passed in its current form.<br />
“It seems that the only measurable<br />
benefit would be increased tax take at the<br />
expense of mental health”.<br />
Says he used cannabis once when a teen.<br />
“I succumbed to heavy peer pressure one<br />
night, and unlike Bill Clinton, I did inhale<br />
– deeply. I didn’t smoke at the time and<br />
never have, so I was as sick as a dog.<br />
My brain instantly learned to never do that<br />
again and I have not since.<br />
“I learned from a mistake.”<br />
End of Life Choice Bill<br />
“I feel for those involved but again this<br />
is a poorly written law, so no. We can do<br />
better than this!”<br />

Drugs a factor in <strong>Selwyn</strong> road deaths<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
DRUGS HAVE been a factor<br />
in eight road deaths in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
since 2017.<br />
Latest figures obtained by the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> show of the 28<br />
deaths on the district’s roads in<br />
this time period, eight involved<br />
drugs.<br />
Constable<br />
Daniel Ingram<br />
has seen drug<br />
driving lead<br />
to road deaths<br />
first hand.<br />
He said Tai<br />
Daniel Ingram<br />
Tarulata Dixon,<br />
a mother of<br />
two from the<br />
district, died when Daryl<br />
John Price drove onto the<br />
wrong side of the road and hit<br />
her vehicle at the intersection<br />
of Sandy Knolls Rd and<br />
West Coast Rd, near West<br />
Melton last year. He had<br />
methamphetamine, cannabis<br />
and alcohol in his system.<br />
Price pleaded guilty to<br />
manslaughter and will appear<br />
for sentencing in November.<br />
There have been 17 people<br />
stopped by police and charged<br />
with drug driving offences<br />
in the district since 2017, an<br />
average of 0.5 offences a<br />
month.<br />

Sergeant Harrison McLennan,<br />
who is on the Canterbury<br />
police’s impairment team, said<br />
motorists who are suspected to<br />
have drugs in their system are<br />
taken back to police stations for<br />
a Compulsory Impairment test.<br />
During these, a light is shone<br />
in their eyes, they are made to<br />
stand on one leg and place one<br />
foot in front of the other and<br />
walk in a straight line. If they<br />
fail two or all of these tests they<br />
are required to take a blood test<br />
to show if they are under the<br />
influence of drugs.<br />
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />
said in spite of the district’s<br />
police focusing more on drug<br />
driving in the last few years<br />
and carrying out more tests on<br />
motorists, alcohol continues<br />
to be the biggest factor in road<br />
deaths and crashes there.<br />
“The majority of the ones that<br />
I’ve seen since I’ve been in here<br />
[Rolleston Police Station] since<br />
November, the majority have<br />
been alcohol-related.”<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported last<br />
week 312 people have been<br />
charged with drink driving<br />
offences in <strong>Selwyn</strong> in the last<br />
three years.<br />
It comes as the focus for<br />
Canterbury police this month<br />
is on clamping down on drink<br />
drivers.<br />

THE DISTRICT’S population has<br />
topped 66,000 residents.<br />
Statistics New Zealand has<br />
released its latest revision of population<br />
figures for different regions<br />
using data from the 2018 census<br />
and post census survey.<br />
The new figures show the district’s<br />
population was 66,300 as at<br />
June 30, 2019, growing by 4.7 per<br />
cent over the previous year.<br />
Previous estimates had the<br />
population at 65,600 but this has<br />
increased by 700 following the latest<br />
revision. The figures also show<br />
that from 2013-19 the district<br />
grew by an average of 6 per cent<br />
a year, adding around 3,300 new<br />
residents annually.<br />
That confirms the district among<br />

You’ve got a lot to gain<br />
There are many things to consider when<br />
making the decision to move into a<br />
lifestyle village. Everyone has different<br />
requirements, whether it be a true community<br />
atmosphere with an inclusive social scene, or<br />
be situated in a new suburb where everything<br />
you need is close by, or well-designed quality<br />
home which supports and caters to all aging<br />
requirements. Whatever your fancy, it’s rather<br />
easy to see Woodcroft Estate as your new<br />
home. “Our residents are better off in every<br />
way,” says Manor Group CEO Adam Yates.<br />
“Here, they enjoy a warm, safe and relaxing<br />
environment within a friendly community,<br />
while the onsite manager looks after any<br />
concerns or maintenance issues. “All those<br />
jobs you had to do to maintain your old house<br />
are taken care of by the village staff. “They<br />
manage any repairs and maintenance to your<br />
home, looking after the gardens and lawn<br />
mowing, providing security, lighting and even<br />
washing windows.” But there is something<br />
even more special about Woodcroft Estate.<br />
A model of home ownership that<br />
benefits you more<br />
“Our residents are better off financially”<br />
says Adam. “Our Next Generation model is<br />
designed to be much fairer than traditional<br />
models, allowing residents to receive the<br />
capital gain when the unit is sold, less a<br />
small fee. Our aim is to free our residents<br />
from their worries, while residents get the<br />
financial freedom that comes from retaining<br />
and building on their equity.” The Next<br />
Generation Model means you have choice.<br />
Whether you gift your chosen charity, leave<br />
a legacy to your grandchildren through<br />
contributing to their education or first<br />
home, the choice is in your hands.<br />
Life is for living<br />
For those who have already made the move<br />
to Woodcroft Estate – you’ll meet likeminded<br />
people who are living life to the<br />
full. Woodcroft Estate residents have never<br />
been happier – residing comfortably in the<br />
fast growing and vibrant new township of<br />
Rolleston – where a library and community<br />
centre are close by. There is a swimming<br />
pool and two medical centres, as well as two<br />
supermarkets. There are even hearing and eye<br />
specialists! Plenty of cafes to meet friends,<br />
and delicious bakeries for that morning tea –<br />

Feral cat problem in Doyleston<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
FERAL CATS are becoming<br />
a problem in Doyleston<br />
and residents are calling for<br />
something to be done.<br />
Resident Kala Teale said the<br />
number of feral cats she has seen<br />
in the community is increasing<br />
and she has counted more than<br />
25 at one time.<br />
She and others in Doyleston<br />
say they appear to being “adopted”<br />
by a resident. The cats were<br />
having their own litters making<br />
the problem worse.<br />
Teale said she had approached<br />
the resident.<br />
“She is very reluctant to acknowledge<br />
there is a problem. A<br />
number of us had contacted the<br />
SPCA and Cat Protection and<br />
they were unable to assist,” she<br />
said.<br />
Teale has also complained to<br />
the district council, which says it<br />
is a SPCA matter.<br />
She also said her cats have<br />
been attacked by the feral ones.<br />
“Our dog is quietly natured<br />
and these cats have been caught<br />
taking her food from her bowl.<br />
We are now feeding our dog<br />
inside.<br />
“It’s very frustrating that we<br />
are responsible cat owners and<br />
we have no support from anyone<br />
with our ongoing cat issue.”<br />
Doyleston community committee<br />
member Brian Hooper<br />
said the issue with feral cats has<br />
been ongoing for about five years.<br />
“It seems to be primarily<br />
coming from one property. It is<br />
getting a little bit beyond a joke<br />
now. Her heart is in the right<br />
place, she wants to look after<br />
the cats but you’ve got to control<br />
them.”<br />
He said the cats are causing<br />
trouble in the community by entering<br />
people’s homes and going<br />
through rubbish bins.<br />
“We’ve physically seen them,<br />
they open the red bins and drag<br />
the food out.”<br />
The person who has been<br />
accused of having the feral cats<br />
refused to talk to the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong>.<br />
Teale and Hooper said they<br />
would like to see the inclusion of<br />
mandatory microchipping and<br />
desexing of cats in the district<br />
council’s new animal control<br />
bylaw.<br />
Provisions around cats were<br />
not included in the draft bylaw<br />
that went out for public consultation<br />
on Monday.<br />
District council regulatory<br />
manager Billy Charlton said<br />
they received a call about the feral<br />
cat issue in Doyleston about<br />
18 months ago.<br />
“Animal welfare, including the<br />
welfare of cats is the responsibility<br />
of the SPCA and we refer all<br />
questions around animal welfare<br />
to them, which was what we did<br />
in this case,” he said.<br />

New motorway<br />
signage<br />
in pipeline<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
IMPROVEMENTS TO the<br />
signage on the Weedons<br />
overbridge near the Southern<br />
Motorway will be made soon.<br />
It comes after Weedons resident<br />
Gary Doyle made a complaint<br />
about health and safety about the<br />
overbridge.<br />
A New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency spokeswoman said: “The<br />
designs have been finalised with<br />
modifications to the signage and<br />
road marking in response to a<br />
nearby landowner’s concerns.”<br />
An order for the manufacture of<br />
the signs was placed on September<br />
11, the spokeswoman said.<br />
“The Southern Motorway stage<br />
2 team hope to get these signs in<br />
place and work completed soon.”<br />
Doyle told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> in<br />
July that if you are travelling down<br />
the overbridge towards Lincoln,<br />
there is a roundabout sign that<br />
shows a road going straight, and<br />
one to the right.<br />
What the sign does not show is<br />
a section of Weedons Rd, where<br />
Doyle lives, that connects to the<br />
left of the roundabout.<br />
“Anyone coming down to the<br />
roundabout is not expecting to<br />
have someone slowing right down,<br />
virtually to a stop, to make a very<br />
hard left-hand turn to get onto<br />
that road,” he said.<br />
Rolleston Drive/Dryden Avenue intersection works<br />
From 9am Friday 9 <strong>October</strong> to 7pm Sunday 11 <strong>October</strong> one lane of Rolleston Drive will be closed from just south of Dryden Avenue to the<br />
Norman Kirk Drive intersection as part of the work on the new Dryden Avenue, Rolleston Drive, Markham Way intersection. There will be a<br />
reduced speed limit and stop/go controllers in place to manage the traffic around the work site.<br />
Please consider using alternative routes such as using the Weedons Interchange, to avoid delays on this section of road. Thank you for<br />
your patience while we carry out this work.<br />

motorists to slow down near horses<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
RECKLESS drivers are making<br />
it increasingly difficult for Judy<br />
Nahkies to continue one of her<br />
favourite past times, horse riding.<br />
The Dunsandel resident<br />
frequently rides around the<br />
township with her 23-year-old<br />
daughter Melissa.<br />
But lately the pair are noticing<br />
fewer and fewer drivers slowing<br />
down as they go past.<br />
“I have lived here for over 30<br />
years and the roads are getting<br />
increasingly busy. We’ve had<br />
quite a few incidents where<br />
people have just not slowed down<br />
at all.”<br />
About a month ago, there was a<br />
particularly bad incident, Nahkies<br />
said.<br />
“A big stock and trailer unit<br />
zoomed past us on a gravel road<br />
and we weren’t in a position to<br />
cross as he’d come around a bit<br />
of a blind corner.<br />
“We got swamped in a big dust<br />
cloud. Fortunately my daugher<br />
was quick enough to get off<br />
her horse. My pony just totally<br />
freaked out, she hit the fence, she<br />
hit Melissa’s horse, somehow I<br />
managed to stay onboard but it<br />
was just really scary.”<br />
Nahkies said she understands<br />
that people think they should<br />
not ride on the road but she has<br />
been doing so for more than 30<br />
years.<br />
“I was really angry because<br />
not only did the driver not slow<br />
down but when he was beside<br />
us, he planted his foot on the accelerator<br />
and roared off.<br />
“It just was an awful thing. I<br />
couldn’t identify the truck. People<br />
just do ridiculous things.”<br />
Melissa has experienced people<br />
deliberately doing skids on shingle<br />
roads to spray up stones.<br />
Her aim is to promote more<br />
awareness for drivers on what<br />
they should be doing around<br />
horses, Nahkies said.<br />
“I don’t think the behaviour<br />
is malicious, I think its a lack of<br />
awareness.<br />
“Slow down, move as far across<br />
the road as you possibly can and<br />
allow space like you would if<br />
someone was on a bike.”<br />
District council transportation<br />
asset delivery manager<br />
Mark Chamberlain said roading<br />
incidents, where drivers are not<br />
taking care should be directed to<br />
the police.<br />
“We do receive requests on occasion,<br />
usually to install warning<br />
signs, and we have received two<br />
requests in the past year.<br />
“The warning signs are to<br />
encourage drivers to slow down<br />
and be aware of the hazard that<br />
horses can pose to other road<br />
users,” he said.<br />

Family harm is a high priority for police<br />
Area response manager<br />
Senior Sergeant Dean<br />
Harker talks about police<br />
activity in the district<br />
OVER THE last few months we<br />
are starting to see an increase<br />
in the reports of family harm<br />
incidents.<br />
This could be put down to<br />
a number of things including<br />
Covid pressures, financial<br />
pressures, uncertainty around<br />
employment.<br />
Over the next few issues I<br />
will be explaining family harm.<br />
This will include, what is family<br />
harm, what is family violence,<br />
what is a police safety order,<br />
what is a protection order.<br />
Family harm is responsible for<br />
about 17 per cent of priority calls<br />
for police service and about 40<br />
per cent of police time.<br />
The New Zealand Crime and<br />
Safety Survey (2014) identified<br />
76 per cent of family violence is<br />
not reported.<br />
Family harm<br />
Family harm encapsulates a<br />
holistic view of the issues occurring<br />
within families and their<br />
ensuing detrimental effects.<br />
Family violence is a subset of<br />
family harm which includes<br />
physical, sexual or psychological<br />
abuse within family relationships.<br />
There may be behaviour that<br />
is coercive or controlling and<br />
causes cumulative harm.<br />
Family harm is a high priority<br />
for police and reducing the<br />
impact of family harm episodes<br />
is a key police priority. Family<br />
harm can be a single episode or a<br />
Dean Harker<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Police<br />
number of episodes forming a<br />
behaviour or series of events, an<br />
act of violence is often an escalation<br />
of an ongoing pattern of<br />
coercion and control.<br />
There are wide reaching<br />
societal consequences of family<br />
harm including crime. Poor<br />
physical and mental health and<br />
poverty.<br />
When police attend family<br />
harm events they aim to:<br />
• Slow and eventually stop the<br />
family harm cycle/cumulative<br />
harm across generations.<br />
• Reduce serious harm such<br />
as the use of physical violence,<br />
sexual abuse and child abuse<br />
and neglect.<br />
• Reduce family harm-related<br />
deaths (homicides and other<br />
related offences and suicides).<br />
When investigating a family<br />
harm investigation<br />
Police will provide an<br />
effective response to family<br />
harm which involves:<br />
• Taking an “eyes wide open”<br />
approach to all family harm<br />
investigations, recognising that<br />
early intervention helps to stop<br />
and prevent family harm<br />
• Being culturally responsive<br />
• Ensuring all parties are kept<br />
safe including victims, children<br />
and police.<br />
• Taking action with predominant<br />
aggressors/ offenders<br />
through a prompt and comprehensive<br />
response.<br />
• Working with partners as<br />
part of a multi-agency response.<br />
If you have concerns about<br />
members of your family,<br />
neighbours of witness a family<br />
harm event please inform police.<br />
Be safe and feel safe.<br />
Reporting family harm<br />
events can be done in a<br />
number of ways.<br />
•Phone 111 when you need<br />
immediate help with a lifethreatening<br />
or time–critical<br />
emergency<br />
•By phoning 105 – when no<br />
one is injured or in danger,<br />
there is no serious risk to<br />
people or property, the crime<br />
isn’t still happening. - By<br />
reporting online at 105.police.<br />
govt.nz<br />
• Or by calling into your<br />
nearest local police station.<br />

• By Jonny Turner<br />
DRIVER Samantha Ottley<br />
pulled off a miraculous win<br />
with Bonnie Boy after being<br />
jolted out of her sulky and going<br />
within millimetres of crashing to<br />
Forbury Park track on Thursday<br />
night.<br />
Ottley was facing the prospect<br />
of being thrown out of her cart<br />
and amongst a line of oncoming<br />
horses when a tightening of runners<br />
racing in to the first bend<br />
started to flip her cart sideways.<br />
As her disaster approached, the<br />
Canterbury reinswoman hoped<br />
she would somehow be able to<br />
avoid what would have been an<br />
ugly and terrifying scene.<br />
Ottley got her wish, but admitted<br />
she had no idea quite what<br />
saved her.<br />
“I don’t really know how I got<br />
back in, it happens quick,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I am sore on my side, so I<br />
must have really strained to get<br />
back in. But let’s just say I am<br />
really pleased that I did.”<br />
After avoiding catastrophe,<br />
winning race 4 was not at the<br />
forefront of Ottley’s mind.<br />
Instead, she was calming her<br />
nerves, which had just been fully<br />
tested.<br />
“At the time I got back in the<br />
cart and around the first bend I<br />
was taking some deep breathes<br />
and thought okay, I’m safe now.”<br />
Once Ottley and Bonnie Boy<br />
composed themselves it was not<br />
long before they were heading<br />
around the field to take the lead<br />
from the favourites To Ri Caitlin<br />
and Mark Hurrell.<br />
Though it did not seem like the<br />
front was there for the taking, a<br />
fired up Bonnie Boy soon made<br />
sure it was<br />
“The front wasn’t really there,<br />
but the horse latched on and I got<br />
up next to Mark,” Ottley said.<br />
“I was hoping he would get a<br />
neck in front and then start to<br />
relax.<br />
“But the horse had other ideas.<br />

Win after near crash<br />
MIRACLE: Sam Ottley brings Bonnie Boy back to the<br />
Forbury Park birdcage after a win on Thursday night.<br />
“He has won his other two<br />
races in front, so he does love it<br />
out there bowling along.”<br />
A home straight battle loomed<br />
for Bonnie Boy as he turned the<br />
corner with the To Ri Caitlin<br />
ready to come off his back and<br />
pounce.<br />
But the 7yr-old dug deep to<br />
pull off the most incredible of<br />
comeback victories.<br />

Once in a decade make over<br />
for district’s rule book<br />
People in <strong>Selwyn</strong> can now read and have their say on the Proposed District Plan, which is open for<br />
consultation until 5pm on Friday 4 December.<br />
The District Plan sets the rules for what people can do on their properties and what needs resource<br />
consent, and must be reviewed every 10 years.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton says the new plan will make huge strides in preparing the district for the future.<br />
“This is an important move for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. The District Plan matters, because it impacts all our lives and<br />
how we live, work and play in the district. Most of the current plan has been in operation since 2008.<br />
Since then we’ve seen massive changes and we need a new plan that is not only up to date with the<br />
new world we live in, but ready to take us through the next decade.”<br />
The new plan aims to simplify the rules, make it easier to find them and shifts the focus to what you<br />
can do.<br />
The proposed plan includes rules to focus residential development in and around our existing<br />
townships. It allows more housing types in urban areas and removes the requirement that only<br />
family members can live in a family flat.<br />
It proposes reducing the density of houses allowed in part of the Outer Plains, to ensure land is<br />
retained for rural production, and tighter rules around businesses in residential and rural areas.<br />
Daytime noise rules would run from 7am–10pm and sky glow rules would reduce light pollution,<br />
in particular creating dark-sky zones in areas of the high country, the coast and around the West<br />
Melton Observatory.<br />
You can read the summary consultation document Because it matters at Council libraries and<br />
service centres, or online at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview, or search your address and see how<br />
the rules affect your property at selwyn.govt.nz/proposedeplan.<br />
Council planning staff will also be holding drop-in sessions to answer your questions.<br />

A dance of friendship and Indonesian culture<br />
Hand in hand, dressed in colourful traditional Indonesian costumes, members of Lincoln University’s<br />
Indonesian Club will take to the CultureFest stage to dance.<br />
Club founder Yeni Yeni says their dance will reflect coming together and represent some of Indonesia’s<br />
34 provinces.<br />
“This year we want to perform a dance showing friendship. We want to be a friend of kiwis and dance<br />
together with the audience.”<br />
Each costume worn by the performers comes from a different province in Indonesia.<br />
The Indonesian Club, which has 23 members, was started by Yeni and a friend in December to<br />
recognise and promote Indonesian culture at Lincoln University and help new Indonesian students feel<br />
welcome and settle.<br />
“I’m so happy finally we can have a club and introduce our culture and be a part of the Lincoln<br />
community. It is very important for us to be represented at LUSA.”<br />
Yeni came to Lincoln University a year and a half ago on a<br />
scholarship for her masters. It was a dream come true and allowed<br />
her to bring her son with her, she says.<br />
“Not only did I benefit from the scholarship, but also my son. He<br />
can learn about education, different culture and language here and<br />
respect for other people.”<br />
While Yeni misses the large variety of fruit that grows in Indonesia,<br />
she has found a new favourite in our feijoa.<br />
“I don’t get that back at home, I will miss feijoa from New Zealand.”<br />
Meet us in the country<br />
A celebration of spring in <strong>Selwyn</strong> is kicking off next week.<br />
‘Meet us in the Country’ will showcase the best of rural events and<br />
lifestyle, highlighting visitor attractions around <strong>Selwyn</strong> in <strong>October</strong><br />
and November.<br />
The campaign covers everything from farm experiences, farmers<br />
markets, fêtes, A&P Shows, garden tours and festivals such as the<br />
Hororātā Highland Games.<br />
It aims to highlight the best of rural life, particularly for people looking<br />
for a day out from Christchurch or the surrounding districts and<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> people looking to get to know their own backyard, Council<br />
Community and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd says.<br />
“We know there’s always something exciting going on in our rural<br />
communities, but it’s not always well known in the wider community.<br />
The life we have from the land is the backbone of our district and<br />
community and we want to share that with people around Canterbury<br />
and encourage people in <strong>Selwyn</strong> to enjoy what we have here.”<br />
More information about what’s on is available on<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>.nz/meetusinthecountry.<br />
Have your say on rules for<br />
keeping animals in towns<br />
We want to hear from you on proposed rules for keeping animals,<br />
poultry and bees in our towns and townships.<br />
As <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population grows, especially in our townships, so<br />
does the number of pets and animals we have, so the Council has<br />
developed a draft bylaw on the keeping of animals, poultry and bees.<br />
The draft bylaw covers the keeping of animals in townships except<br />
dogs, which are covered by separate legislation. It aims to protect the<br />
public from nuisance, and address public health and safety issues.<br />
It sets rules on the numbers of hives and poultry allowed, and where<br />
and how they can be housed.<br />
It would also mean no stock is allowed on properties under 2000<br />
square metres without written approval from the Council.<br />
It covers issues such as nuisance, odour, and noise and will allow<br />
the Council to investigate and act on nuisance complaints relating<br />
to animals.<br />
In the previous consultation feedback was sought on whether the<br />
Council should require people to microchip and de-sex their cats.<br />
The Council has reconsidered its position and these provisions have<br />
been removed from the draft bylaw.<br />
Submissions are open until 5pm Friday 6 November, and you can<br />
request to be heard at a public hearing on your submission.<br />
The Statement of Proposal (which includes the draft Proposed<br />
Bylaw), can be viewed at all Council Service Centres and Libraries.<br />
You can read the draft bylaw, and make a submission online at<br />
selwyn.govt.nz/animalbylaw. Or you can download a submission<br />
form and email to animalbylaw@selwyn.govt.nz or post to:<br />

Leeston flood protection work begins<br />
Work is under way on stage three of the Leeston stormwater bypass, replacing the High Street culverts<br />
and connecting these to Volkman Drain.<br />
To do this work Station Street and Leeston Road will be closed at times around the Volkman Road<br />
and High Street intersections. Station Street is due to be closed from 16 <strong>October</strong> to 11 November and<br />
Leeston Road is due to be closed from 12 November to 15 December.<br />
When Station Street is closed the detour will take traffic down Cunningham Street back to Station<br />
Street. Because Station Street is the truck bypass into Leeston, residents should expect increased<br />
truck movements during this time.<br />
The works are part of a long-term project to upgrade the stormwater network and reduce the risk of<br />
flooding in Leeston.<br />
Detailed design work for stage four, connecting the Leeston creek with the flood bypass channel is<br />
under way and the Council is making progress to begin construction in February 2021.<br />
This is the final stage for the bypass to be operational. The bypass was originally due to be completed<br />
by 2023, but could be operational two years ahead of schedule. Further work and refinements will be<br />
considered in the future.<br />
Rolleston Drive roadworks<br />
One lane of Rolleston Drive will be closed this weekend, from just south of Dryden Avenue to Norman<br />
Kirk Drive.<br />
The work, which is part of the new Dryden Avenue, Norman Kirk Drive intersection construction, will<br />
begin on Friday 9 <strong>October</strong> and be finished by the end of day on Sunday 11 <strong>October</strong>, weather permitting.<br />
Stop/go controls and a reduced speed limit will be in place around the work site. We’re encouraging<br />
people to please consider using alternative routes such as the Weedons Interchange, to avoid delays<br />
on this section of road. Thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.<br />

BLACK CAPS allrounder<br />
Daryl Mitchell launched<br />
his Canterbury country<br />
cricket debut with a<br />
blistering batting assault,<br />
though it couldn’t help his<br />
new club Lincoln to victory<br />
in the opening round<br />
of the premier one-day<br />
competition.<br />
Mitchell, who moved<br />
from Northern Districts<br />
to Canterbury to play his<br />
domestic cricket this season,<br />
cracked 90 from just<br />
64 balls – including eight<br />
sixes – though Leeston-<br />
Southbridge survived the<br />
barrage to ultimately win<br />
by eight wickets after being<br />
set 191 for victory at Leeston<br />
Park last Saturday.<br />
Canterbury Country<br />
captain Harry Chamberlain<br />
led his side home with<br />
an unbeaten 81 off 77 balls.<br />
He was well supported by<br />
fellow Country batsman<br />
Rupert Young (39 off 42)<br />
and Canterbury representative<br />
Will Williams<br />
who was unbeaten on 55.<br />
A former Black Cap was<br />
also prominent in Southbrook’s<br />
58-run win over<br />
Cheviot at Southbrook Domain,<br />
but it was teenager<br />
George Gunn stunned the<br />
visitors with a stunning<br />
haul of 5/9.<br />
After veteran opener<br />
Tony Hancox blasted a<br />
quickfire half-century,<br />
Shanan Stewart made his<br />
own 50 as the hosts mustered<br />
182 on a low, slow<br />
pitch.<br />
Cheviot made a solid<br />
start before another ‘Brook<br />
stalwart, Darryn Boyle, entered<br />
the attack and snared<br />
three wickets.<br />
But Gunn, 15, was the<br />
star of the show, coming<br />
on as fifth change and<br />
immediately having an<br />
impact.<br />
He ripped through the<br />
Cheviot line-up which<br />
slumped from 92-3, to be<br />
all out for 124 in the 36th<br />
over.<br />
Ryan Ellis persevered<br />
with 28 off 67 balls but the<br />
wickets tumbled around<br />
him before he could make<br />
a substantial score.<br />
Competition newcomers<br />
Ohoka lost a thriller<br />
against Sefton as their<br />
quest for 186 fell just short<br />
at Sefton Domain.<br />
Batting first, Sefton<br />
made a solid start through<br />
opener Tim Harrison, who<br />
anchored the innings with<br />
a composed 51 runs off 114<br />
balls.<br />
Matt Laffey chipped in<br />
with 34 and Canterbury<br />
quick bowler Fraser Sheat<br />
added 29 off 35 before<br />
Sefton were dismissed on<br />
the final ball of their 45-<br />
over innings.<br />
Several Ohoka batsmen<br />
made starts but could not<br />
push on, leaving experienced<br />
allrounder Paul<br />
Williams stranded on 42<br />
when tailender Harry Williams<br />
was caught by Sheat<br />
with six runs needed for<br />
a memorable start for the<br />
promoted side.<br />
Williams was McKenzie<br />

Darfield Artweek popular with artists<br />
Darfield Artweek will celebrate its 39th Opening Night on<br />
Friday, 9 <strong>October</strong>, 7pm, at the Darfield Rec Centre.<br />
“We are pleased to have Areta Wilkinson, an accomplished<br />
artist based in Oxford, as this year’s judge for the Artweek<br />
competition. She will announce the winner of a number<br />
of awards sponsored by local businesses, including the<br />
coveted $2000 Premier Award”, said Malvern Community<br />
Arts Council Chair, Philip Baldwin.<br />
“The Artweek Committee is gratified by the number<br />
of artworks that will be on exhibit. We had expected a<br />
smaller exhibition following the lockdown earlier in the<br />
year, but at least 125 artists from <strong>Selwyn</strong> District, the city<br />
of Christchurch, and countrywide have registered”, Mr<br />
Baldwin noted.<br />
Members of the public are able to vote for the People’s<br />
Choice Award throughout the week-long art exhibition, as<br />
well as having their vote entered into a prize-winning draw.<br />
Darfield Artweek comprises two exhibitions this year. The<br />
Darfield Rec Centre will hold the main exhibition, with works<br />
that are in competition for awards. At the same time Te<br />
Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield will feature work by members<br />
of Arts Canterbury. “This exhibition features a variety of<br />
artworks—all creative, colourful, and skilfully executed. The<br />
selection of works is stunning”, Mr Baldwin concluded.<br />
Entry to Darfield Artweek’s exhibition spaces, the Rec<br />
Centre and Te Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield, is free from<br />
Saturday, 10 <strong>October</strong> to Sunday, 18 <strong>October</strong>.<br />

Delicious cafe fare at your own home<br />
Crepes are a delicious<br />
meal, needing only a<br />
green salad to finish it<br />
off<br />
Crepe layer pie<br />
6 servings<br />
Ingredients<br />
Crepes:<br />
110gm (¾ cup) plain flour<br />
pinch salt<br />
2 eggs<br />
200ml milk<br />
75ml water<br />
50gm butter<br />
Place the flour and salt into a<br />
mixing bowl. Add the milk and<br />
the lightly beaten eggs. Mix well<br />
with a hand whisk. Add the water<br />
and beat until smooth.<br />
Melt the butter in the pan that<br />
you are intending to cook the<br />
crepes in. Add to the batter and<br />
mix through.<br />
Return the crepe pan to the<br />
stove and heat until it is quite hot.<br />
There should be enough butter<br />
left in it so that you don’t have to<br />
grease the pan.<br />
Tip a little of the batter into the<br />
hot pan and swirl it around so<br />
that the bottom is evenly covered.<br />
Cook until the top is dry, then<br />
turn over using a fish slice and<br />
cook the other side before removing<br />
to a large plate. Continue in<br />
this way until all the batter has<br />
been used.<br />
The filling:<br />
50gm butter<br />
1 large onion<br />
200gm mushrooms<br />
10 asparagus spears<br />
2 tbsp plain flour<br />
½ cup milk<br />
250gm tub cràeme fraiche<br />
½ smoked chicken or 2<br />
smoked chicken breasts<br />
salt and pepper<br />
A little Swiss cheese to grate<br />
over the top.<br />
Preheat your oven to 180 deg<br />
C.<br />
Melt the butter in a large frying<br />
pan. Thinly slice the onion<br />
and add it to the pan. Cook over<br />
a medium heat until soft. Wipe,<br />
trim and slice the mushrooms<br />
and add to the pan. Cook, stirring<br />
occasionally, for a couple of<br />
minutes.<br />
WHOLESOME:<br />
Crepe pie layered<br />
with chicken,<br />
mushrooms and<br />
asparagus can be<br />
served as a full<br />
meal.<br />
Sprinkle over the flour and stir<br />
in well. Cook for another minute<br />
or two, then add the milk and<br />
mix in well. Take care not to be<br />
too vigorous or you will break up<br />
the mushrooms.<br />
Let this come to a gentle simmer,<br />
stirring fairly constantly,<br />
then add the cràeme fraiche and<br />
stir thoroughly.<br />
Bring to barely a simmer and<br />
remove from the heat. Season<br />
with salt and freshly ground<br />
black pepper.<br />
Bring a pot of water to the<br />
boil and add the asparagus that<br />
should be cut in 2cm lengths.<br />
Let it come back to the boil and<br />
simmer for a minute, then tip off<br />
the water and re-fill the pot with<br />
cold water to stop the asparagus<br />
cooking further. Drain well and<br />
add to the mushroom mixture.<br />
Remove the skin from the<br />
smoked chicken and roughly<br />
chop the meat. Stir this into the<br />
rest of the ingredients.<br />
Directions<br />
Line a 20cm spring form tin<br />
with baking paper. Place one of<br />
the crepes in the base of the pan<br />
and top with a quarter of the<br />
filling. Top with another crepe<br />
and another quarter of the<br />
filling.<br />
Continue layering until you<br />
have finished all the filling, then<br />
top with a final crepe.<br />
Sprinkle over a little grated<br />
Swiss cheese.<br />
Cover with tinfoil and bake for<br />
30min, then remove the tin foil<br />
and return to the oven for a further<br />
10min.<br />
Take the pan from the oven and<br />
leave for at least 10min to firm up<br />
a little. Remove from the tin, peel<br />
off the baking paper and serve<br />
warm cut into wedges.<br />
Any leftovers will successfully<br />
reheat in the microwave.<br />

New Yaris draws on links to Daihatsu<br />
IT’S PROBABLY the Toyota Motor<br />
Company’s best kept secret, it is the<br />
sole owner of Daihatsu.<br />
Daihatsu used to be well<br />
represented in New Zealand, its<br />
range of small cars were popular,<br />
especially in times of fuel shortages<br />
and high fuel prices, the threecylinder<br />
engines that characterised<br />
many of the models were<br />
economical, honest and charming.<br />
As recent history has served<br />
to prove, Daihatsu is no longer<br />
marketed new in New Zealand,<br />
but you can guarantee the threecylinder<br />
engine technology that<br />
Daihatsu developed through the<br />
years has been widely scrutinised<br />
by Toyota when it developed the<br />
fourth-generation Yaris.<br />
Yes, the brand new Yaris is very<br />
much a departure from the old<br />
model. There are hybrid options,<br />
and each of the four variants is<br />
powered by a 1.5-litre three-pot<br />
engine. Sure, most of Daihatsu’s<br />
three-cylinder engines were just<br />
999c, but I’m picking the basic<br />
engine construction bears many<br />
similarities to the faithful units<br />
Daihatsu pumped out in the<br />
hundreds of thousands.<br />
Not only does the new Yaris<br />
have rather special drivelines, it<br />
also incorporates a tasteful, fresh<br />
body style, it is curvy with just<br />
the right amount of design flair. It<br />
looks youthful and almost daring,<br />
the test car was finished in a lime<br />
green with black accents, it looked<br />
terrific and gained favourable<br />
comment during the time I had the<br />
evaluation car in my care.<br />
The newcomer starts at $25,990<br />
for the non-hybrid GX, the subject<br />
of this evaluation. I’m due to drive<br />
the two ZR models soon, they list<br />
at $29,990 (petrol) and $32,990<br />
(petrol/electric). There’s also a GX<br />
hybrid which lists at $27,990. These<br />
are all prices which will bring cheer<br />
to the fuel-conscious buyer, for not<br />
only are you getting good value<br />
but you will benefit from frugal<br />
efficiency of small capacity engines.<br />
Toyota claims a 4.9-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle average<br />
for the petrol-only Yaris, that<br />
against 3.3l/100km for the hybrid.<br />
Both are excellent figures and<br />
are achievable, well at least in<br />
the petrol-only model. The GX I<br />
tested went back to the dealership<br />
showing 5.6l/100km on the<br />
readout, that was gleaned through<br />
a long highway drive along the<br />
Scenic Route/SH 72. At 100km/h<br />
the engine ticks over slowly at just<br />
2000rpm, returning an amazing<br />
instantaneous figure of 3.8l/100km.<br />
The engine is a feisty little unit<br />
which delights with its harmonics.<br />
TOYOTA YARIS GX: Cheeky styling and bright colours for<br />
fourth-generation model.<br />
Three-cylinder engines have a<br />
specific tone, they all do it, and<br />
that is something we’ll all need to<br />
adjust to, engines of this type are<br />
being churned out by a multitude<br />
of manufacturers these days, and<br />
they all have similar sound and<br />
characteristics.<br />
They also develop a lot of natural<br />
torque, pulling from low in the<br />
rev band and, when coupled to a<br />
continuously variable automatic<br />
transmission, there is a lot of natural<br />
freedom, the two elements combine<br />
to provide a seamless flow of power.<br />
Toyota lists the newcomer with a<br />
power figure of 88kW. If you add in<br />
145Nm of torque from 4800rpm to<br />
5200rpm, they are the ingredients<br />
which make the three-potter so<br />
special, it hauls solidly all through<br />
the rev band, peaking at 6600rpm<br />
and delighting as it revs through.<br />
Acceleration is relatively smart<br />
for its role with a 10.8sec standstill<br />
to 100km time, while it will also<br />
complete an overtaking manoeuvre<br />
(80-120km/h) in 7sec.<br />
I’ve made no secret over the<br />
years of my enthusiasm for triple<br />
engines, and the Yaris’ unit is one<br />
of the best, it is a delight in terms<br />
of honesty and its thrifty nature<br />
speaks for itself. I was relatively<br />
enthusiastic when I drove the<br />
car, yet it still delivered good<br />
economy.<br />
The long, straight roads of<br />
Canterbury don’t have many<br />
corners, but I did deviate to a<br />
road which has some tight bends<br />
which always tax a chassis and<br />
suspension. I found the Yaris<br />
to have traditional handling<br />
qualities; typically Toyota it has<br />
solid steering feel and moderate<br />
suspension settings which contain<br />
well a tall body height (1.5m) from<br />
gravitational movement.<br />
Even though the rear suspension<br />

is a simplistic torsion beam type<br />
and the tyres are on the small<br />
size at 185/60 x 15in, there is an<br />
encouraging amount of grip. Bear<br />
in mind that in GX form the Yaris<br />
gets steel wheels with plastic trim<br />
covers. There’s nothing wrong<br />
with that, when you are buying a<br />
$25k you should expect just the<br />
essentials.<br />
In saying that, while the<br />
interior trim has just the basics<br />
the Yaris still gets a solid suite of<br />
safety spec and nothing has been<br />
compromised with that.<br />
If you aren’t satisfied with the<br />
GX level of trim, the extra $4k that<br />
will get you in ZR spec adds more<br />
of the niceties that today’s new car<br />
buyer is often looking for.<br />
If you look at the Yaris’ history it<br />
goes way back past Toyota Echo to<br />
Starlet. The latter served my wife<br />
brilliantly for many years, it owes<br />
its origins to Daihatsu, it came off<br />
that company’s production line<br />
and was testament to the quality<br />
both organisations incorporate as<br />
automobile manufacturers.<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />
Survey reveals rural<br />
connectivity an issue<br />
While the majority of urban New<br />
Zealanders can get on the information<br />
superhighway at speed, the latest<br />
Federated Farmers connectivity survey<br />
shows too many rural families and<br />
businesses are still stuck in second gear on<br />
a potholed back-road.<br />
“We had nearly 900 responses from<br />
our members from every farm type and<br />
geographical spread but a bitter irony<br />
was that several more couldn’t complete<br />
the on-line questions because they didn’t<br />
have internet access or connectivity was<br />
too patchy or slow,” Federated Farmers<br />
President and telecommunications<br />
spokesperson Andrew Hoggard said.<br />
Around 68% of respondents have<br />
download speeds of 20Mbps or less, and<br />
nearly 24% are enduring download speeds<br />
of just 0-5Mbps.<br />
“While around a third is on unlimited<br />
download monthly plans, many of those<br />
on capped plans complain they’d like to<br />
go unlimited but their ISP – often their<br />
only choice of ISP – doesn’t provide that<br />
option.<br />
“It’s interesting that a number of<br />
respondents told us that during the level<br />
4 COVID-19 lockdown some providers<br />
extended unlimited downloads to them.<br />
This would seem to indicate it’s not<br />
technical issues getting in the way of<br />
offering unlimited plans to these rural<br />
clients,” Andrew said.<br />
Mobile coverage remains a concern,<br />
with around one in three farms surveyed<br />
indicating only up to 50% of their farm<br />
gets a connection. Not far short of a<br />
quarter get 25% of farm coverage or less.<br />
“And yet 92% of these farmers had a<br />
smartphone, and around 75% told us they<br />
use smartphone apps to support the farm<br />
business,” Andrew said.<br />
While in many of the connectivity<br />
measures there have been improvements<br />
since the Feds’ 2019 survey, it’s usually<br />
only by a percent or two.<br />
“The task ahead is less one of pushing<br />
broadband into ever more isolated<br />
and remote locations and more one of<br />
addressing the gaps in coverage and<br />
constraints on capacity of earlier builds.<br />
More targeted investment towards<br />
bespoke builds would go a long way<br />
towards addressing connection speed and<br />
reliability concerns,” Andrew said.<br />
“Competition is a concern with many<br />
members finding they only have the one<br />
provider and have to take it or leave it as<br />
regards price and quality of service.”<br />
Many of the new technologies employed<br />
on farms, whether cloud software<br />
or smartphone applications, require<br />
connectivity to realise and maximise the<br />
benefits of their use to the farm business.<br />
Farmers are also increasingly expected<br />
to engage electronically with business<br />
services and government agencies, such<br />
as banks, IRD and local councils. And,<br />
just like urban families, the farm owner’s<br />
home and the on-farm staff houses have<br />
partners and children trying to get on-line<br />
to look up information, do homework and<br />
engage in social media.<br />

GARDENING<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Time to get planting and fertilising<br />
OCTOBER IS possibly the most<br />
exciting month in the home<br />
garden with plenty to plant both<br />
outdoors and indoors.<br />
Houseplants<br />
‘Change over time’ for cyclamen<br />
that have finished flowering,<br />
either plant them in the garden<br />
or pop them in the compost<br />
bin. Time to purchase and plant<br />
up news seasons flowering<br />
houseplants like spathiphyllums<br />
(peace lily), anthuriums,<br />
kalanchoes (flaming katies) and<br />
moth orchids. Check if existing<br />
houseplants need repotting. Use<br />
a houseplant potting mix and<br />
move them up to a slightly larger<br />
pot. Resist planting them into<br />
much larger pots as this can cause<br />
problems with watering. You can<br />
now start applying houseplant<br />
fertiliser.<br />
The change of season means<br />
some areas will become too hot<br />
for some houseplants. North<br />
and east-facing rooms provide<br />
the best light and filtered is best.<br />
Avoid placing plants up against<br />
windows in direct sunlight as<br />
their foliage will burn quickly.<br />
Vegetable garden<br />
All summer vegetables can now<br />
be planted including courgettes,<br />
cucumbers, beans, beetroot, carrots,<br />
celery, corn, leeks, lettuce,<br />
melons, onions, radish, pumpkin,<br />
tomato, and zucchini. Consider<br />
expanding your existing vegetable<br />
gardens remembering the experience<br />
of Covid19 this year.<br />
Prepare the vegetable plot thoroughly<br />
before planting with new<br />
compost, the better the preparation,<br />
invariably a more bountiful<br />
harvest. Stagger planting (every<br />
two weeks or so) to ensure continuous<br />
harvesting and avoiding<br />
If your cyclamen has<br />
finished flowering, replant it.<br />
vegetables maturing at the same<br />
time.<br />
Water young seedlings as<br />
requited and apply a side dressing<br />
of vegetable fertiliser as the plants<br />
mature.<br />
Flowering annuals<br />
It’s time to plant flower beds<br />
and containers with summer<br />
flowering annuals. As with the<br />
vegetable garden, prepare sites<br />
with new compost and use new<br />
container mix when planting into<br />
tubs and containers.<br />
Summer flowering annuals to<br />
plant this month include alyssum,<br />
asters, corn flowers, californian<br />
poppy, cosmos, delphiniums, hollyhock,<br />
livingston daisy, lobelia,<br />
marigolds, nemesia, petunias,<br />
portulacas, phlox, salvias, statice,<br />
sunflowers, sweet peas, verbena<br />
and zinnias.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Start applying fruit tree fertiliser,<br />
this is especially important<br />
around young specimens as the<br />
fertiliser encourages the development<br />
of a strong, sturdy root system.<br />
As soils warm towards the<br />
end of the month, mulch around<br />
trees to prevent weed growth and<br />
improve water retention over the<br />
hot, dry summer months.<br />
Berry fruit<br />
Boysenberries, blackberries,<br />
raspberries, and loganberries are<br />
all growing rapidly. Remove any<br />
surplus canes where growth is excessive.<br />
Keep training new canes<br />
on supports or wire. Fertilise with<br />
berry fertiliser every five to six<br />
weeks and add a layer of much<br />
around plants.<br />
Stop ‘pinching out’ strawberry<br />
flowers and allow fruit to form<br />
towards the end of <strong>October</strong>.<br />
Regularly inspect for any sights of<br />
botrytis (gray mould) and remove<br />
any infected leaves. Keep maintaining<br />
a mulch of pea straw and/<br />
or crushed bark around plants.<br />
Roses<br />
In most parts of New Zealand,<br />
roses will be flowering freely and<br />
will be disease free. Apply the first<br />
side-dressing of fertiliser towards<br />
the end of the month and repeat<br />
every five to six weeks until mid-<br />
December. Deadhead finished<br />
flowers to promote new continuous<br />
flowering.<br />
Lawns<br />
With grass growth under way<br />
it’s time to start regularly mowing<br />
again. Apply lawn fertiliser and<br />
repeat applications every four to<br />
six weeks until mid-December.<br />
Fresh grass seed can be sown in<br />
problem areas of the lawn, spread<br />
new topsoil evenly before sowing<br />
seed. Keep the area moist until<br />
the grass seed has germinated.<br />
Grass cuttings can be added to<br />
the compost bin in a ‘little but<br />
often’ manner.<br />
Container gardens<br />
Perfect time to replant containers<br />
with flowering annuals, herbs,<br />
or summer salad vegetables. Fill<br />
containers with fresh, new container<br />
mix that is free draining.<br />
Plant herbs close to kitchen and in sun<br />
ALL THE promise of spring is<br />
out there in the herb garden.<br />
It’s a good idea to plant herbs<br />
close to the kitchen — the further<br />
away they are, the less likely you<br />
are to pick them, especially in<br />
rainy weather.<br />
Most of the cooking herbs like<br />
a place in the sun, though mint<br />
will grow in a damp shady spot.<br />
If you don’t have much space,<br />
stick to those herbs you know<br />
you’ll use in cooking.<br />
Consider growing them in pots,<br />
or plant herbs in the flower garden<br />
— most are quite decorative.<br />
Fresh coriander is an important<br />
ingredient in many Thai<br />
and Indian dishes and now’s the<br />
time for planting the seeds of this<br />
annual herb.<br />
Coriander plants are taprooted<br />
and don’t transplant well,<br />
so sow seeds where you want the<br />
plants to grow and thin out when<br />
necessary.<br />
The seeds are slow to germinate,<br />
so don’t give up on them<br />
too soon.<br />
Some varieties of chives die<br />
down in the winter, while others<br />
stay green the whole year<br />
through.<br />
If rust is a problem, cut<br />
the clumps back and wait<br />
for fresh rust-free growth. If<br />
that doesn’t work, it may be<br />
best to plant some new bulbs in<br />
a different spot.<br />
Clumps need to be divided and<br />
replanted every few years in any<br />
case or the chives get overcrowded<br />
and loose their vigour.<br />
Garlic chives have a stronger<br />
flavour than regular chives and<br />
the flowers are white and starry<br />
rather than pom-pom shaped.<br />
The plants grow more slowly<br />
and the leaves stand up to cooking<br />
a bit better.<br />
Parsley comes in two forms<br />
– the curly-leaved variety and<br />
flat or broad-leaved parsley, often<br />
known as italian parsley. The<br />
latter is currently more trendy<br />
but at a pinch you can usually<br />
substitute one for the other.<br />

Notification of the<br />
Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan<br />
Clause 5 of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991<br />
Date of public notice: Monday 5 <strong>October</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council invites submissions on the Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan.<br />
About the Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan<br />
A district plan is essentially a 10-year ‘rule book’ that sets district-wide rules for sustainably managing how people use, subdivide<br />
and develop land, what and where they can build and also what kind of activities they can undertake. The plan also controls any<br />
adverse effects an activity could have on the neighbourhood. The district plan protects the uniqueness of our district by looking<br />
after our heritage, cultural values, outstanding landscapes and coastal environment.<br />
The Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan is intended to replace the Operative <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan. However, the rules in the Proposed<br />
District Plan do not have immediate legal effect, except for those that can be found in the following chapters of the Proposed Plan:<br />
· Historic Heritage<br />
· Natural Character<br />
· Notable Trees<br />
· Activities on the Surface of Water<br />
· Sites and Areas of Significance to Māori<br />
· Subdivision.<br />
· Ecosystems and Indigenous Biodiversity<br />
The rules that have immediate legal effect are clearly identified in the Proposed District Plan. You may therefore require a resource<br />
consent under the Proposed District Plan if you wish to undertake work on or within these items or areas.<br />
Designations<br />
The Proposed District Plan includes new notices of requirements for designations. In addition, modifications are also sought for<br />
a number of existing designations. All new notices of requirements and modified designations can be viewed in the Designations<br />
chapter of the Proposed District Plan and on the planning map.<br />
How to make a submission?<br />
Anyone can make a submission on the Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan by using one of the following options:<br />
· Complete an online submission form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/dprsubmission.<br />
· Download a PDF submission form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview and:<br />
- email it to dprsubmissions@selwyn.govt.nz (Subject line: Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan Submission)<br />
- post it to <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council, Freepost 104 653, PO Box 90/Rolleston 7643,<br />
Attention: Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Plan Submission<br />
- deliver it to a Council service centre in Darfield, Lincoln, Leeston or Rolleston.<br />
· Pick up a hard copy submission form at Council libraries and service centres.<br />
Written submissions must be submitted on the Council submission form, or on Form 5 of the Resource Management Act 1991.<br />
Your submission must state whether you want to present your views at a Council hearing.<br />

Front<br />
In just a matter of days, New Zealanders will go to the polls and vote on the most crucial<br />
election in living memory.<br />
National’s economic plan of lower taxes, job friendly policies and investment in quality<br />
infrastructure will grow our economy, giving businesses the confidence to grow and restore<br />
household incomes for New Zealanders.<br />
At the heart of everything we do is our drive to support families and communities by giving<br />
businesses the confidence to invest and grow.<br />
We take the view that if New Zealand is going to take on intergenerational debt, then we<br />
owe it to future generations to leave them with intergenerational assets.<br />
Historic investment in critical infrastructure - like the four-laning of SH1 down to Ashburton<br />
will keep thousands in jobs for the next decade.<br />
At the same time as building those assets, we will rebuild our economy - so that core<br />
services like hospitals, DHBs and schools can continue to be well funded, and families and<br />
communities are well looked after.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> - and New Zealand - needs a National Government that has a plan and is<br />
absolutely focused on growing the economy and creating jobs.<br />
If you vote to send me to Wellington on 17 <strong>October</strong>, I will do everything in my power to<br />
support you and your family.<br />

Rebooting our economy<br />
We’ll cut your tax. An average income earner will take home<br />
an extra $3000 under a National government. Our JobStart<br />
policy will provide $10,000 cash support for businesses<br />
that take on new staff, our BusinessStart policy will provide<br />
even further cash support for people who want to start a<br />
new business, while our plans to spend an extra $31 billion<br />
on transport infrastructure and $4.8 billion on world-class<br />
education infrastructure will create thousands of jobs.<br />
9 If you have a small business, we’ll reduce the cost<br />
and compliance of the tax system, reduce red tape<br />
by repealing the RMA, change the rules to allow you<br />
to deduct new capital investments of up to $150,000,<br />
increase the provisional tax threshold from $5,000 to<br />
$25,000 and raise the compulsory GST threshold from<br />
$60,000 to $75,000.<br />
9 You will keep more of what you earn. National will lift<br />
the bottom tax threshold from $14,000 to $20,000, the<br />
middle threshold from $48,000 to $64,000 and the top<br />
threshold from $70,000 to $90,000.<br />
Health<br />
A National Government will deliver high quality health and<br />
mental health care that is accessible, timely and effective -<br />
regardless of where you’re from.<br />
9 National’s new health initiatives have been costed at<br />
$800 million over four years and will include increased<br />
funding to PHARMAC to create a rare disorder fund<br />
worth $20 million as well as a dedicated $200 million<br />
cancer drug fund.<br />
9 We will fund a fully-independent cancer agency<br />
responsible for accelerated bowel screening, local<br />
radiotherapy units and faster cancer treatment targets.<br />
9 We will fund life-saving mental wellbeing and suicide<br />
prevention workshops in our rural communities.<br />
9 Require schools to deliver a skills based mental health<br />
and resilience training program from years 1 to 13.<br />

Education<br />
We will repair and rebuild schools, reduce class sizes, invest more in students with complex learning needs and put more<br />
teacher aides in schools.<br />
9 National’s First 1,000 Days plan will empower parents to make the best choices for their child in their first 1,000 days –<br />
we will give parents more resources, more choices and more support, including there days maternity stay, and a $3000<br />
grant to purchase support services.<br />
9 National will fix schools in your community - we are committing $4.8 billion in new spending to deliver world-class<br />
education infrastructure.<br />
9 We will increase the number of teacher aides in our schools by investing $150 million over four years to fund about six<br />
million additional hours of teacher aide support in classrooms – equivalent to around 1,500 new teacher aides.<br />
Agriculture<br />
National is proud of New Zealand’s history as the world’s best producer of food and fibre, and we are committed to it being<br />
New Zealand’s future as well.<br />
9 We will repeal or review the nine new water regulations Labour has introduced to create workable legislation that won’t<br />
harm farm productivity.<br />
9 We will repeal the Resource Management Act (RMA) and replace it with an Environmental Standards Act and Planning<br />
and Development Act.<br />
9 We will create a fast-tracked Primary Sector Visa and also allow skilled workers and Recognised Seasonal Employer<br />
(RSE) workers to enter New Zealand.<br />
9 We will pass seven changes to the Zero Carbon Bill, including a review of the methane target as well as remove the<br />
review process around introducing agriculture into the Emissions Trading Scheme in 2022.

Back<br />
Your Economy.<br />
Your Future.<br />
Our country is in the midst of the biggest economic challenge in 160<br />
years.<br />
With a recession looming, large budget deficits, extensive job losses,<br />
and the threat of continued hardship, Kiwis need a team with real<br />
world experience that can deliver results.<br />
Only a National Government has the plan to enable and encourage<br />
the investment we need to generate jobs and keep taxes low, while<br />
getting on with ambitious infrastructure builds that will drive growth<br />
and support our families and communities now and into the future.<br />

Week commencing WeDneSDAY, 7th octoBeR, <strong>2020</strong><br />
Paradise awaits<br />
Entering through electric gates, the sweeping driveway leads to a beautifully<br />
master-crafted home designed for the entertainer in all of us. This unique<br />
‘show stopping’ residence was lovingly designed and completed by the current<br />
owners to an extremely high standard for themselves & their extended family.<br />
The versatility of the living spaces & outbuildings leave so many different<br />
options for you to explore.<br />
The beautiful main home comprises 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 separate<br />
living areas, a large study, an amazing designer kitchen & a dining hall that<br />
extends through to a garden room with enviable views of the expansive<br />
grounds. Equally impressive is the cottage, which features a lovely kitchen, 1<br />
bedroom & bathroom + a fully-lined garage with a wide range of potential uses.<br />
All of this is set on 5 acres of park-like gardens, extensively planted with English<br />
specimen trees. Furthermore, the “Vine Bar” with pizza oven, set in its own<br />
vineyard, makes for great alfresco entertainment. This dream-like setting is the<br />
perfect place to host a wedding! For the gardeners out there, wait until you see<br />
the vegetable garden, berry fruits, cherry trees and, in the orchard, peaches,<br />
apples & apricots! The citrus house is bursting with lemons, limes, oranges &<br />
grapefruit. For the car enthusiast, there is a triple car garage + a 6 x 9m Total<br />
Span shed. An extensive irrigation system makes it easy to keep this property<br />
well-watered & looking great all-year-round.<br />
Our vendors have made the very difficult decision to leave their dream property<br />
for a job transfer & are committed to handing this piece of paradise over on or<br />
before auction day for new owners to love & treasure as they have done.<br />
Viewings of this unique & special home will be by pre-registered appointments,<br />
so please contact either Sarah or Nick to arrange a time to tour the property &<br />
see all that it can offer you.<br />

Identifying the square metre rate<br />
The square metre rate (sqm) is the<br />
average cost of building each square metre<br />
of a house; calculated by dividing the total<br />
build price by the home’s total square<br />
metres.<br />
Sqm rates are not standard across<br />
all parts of a house with building costs<br />
varying between rooms. Garages cost<br />
considerably less than utility rooms like<br />
kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries so<br />
choosing high quality appliances and more<br />
features can ratchet up the build price.<br />
The cladding chosen is also relevant. A<br />
quoted sqm figure is likely based on brick<br />
veneer, the cheapest form of cladding,<br />
followed by plaster finish then cedar.<br />
Building a smaller house does not<br />
necessarily translate to a lower sqm rate.<br />
Certain costs are incurred regardless of the<br />
size of home. You still need an electrical<br />
Show<br />
home<br />
Guide<br />
switchboard and the same number of<br />
building inspections. The cost of drainage,<br />
hot water cylinder, garage door, and<br />
telephone and electricity connections will<br />
not differ significantly between larger and<br />
smaller houses. Building consent fees do<br />
vary with the size of house.<br />
Sqm figures are therefore guides,<br />
influenced by the features specified and<br />
type of build. The standard sqm figure<br />
quoted by a building company is generally<br />
based on construction of a standard<br />
house on a fully serviced section, on good<br />
ground.<br />
Ground conditions determine the<br />
type and cost of foundations. If building<br />
on TC1 land the foundations are more<br />
affordable than on TC3 land. Ease of<br />
connection of services like electricity and<br />
the internet are also a factor. For example,<br />
the distance from house to roadside is<br />
usually further on a lifestyle property.<br />
When a housing company quotes a<br />
square metre rate, it will likely refer to<br />
building the actual house, not external<br />
landscaping or other features.<br />
Thinking of Building?<br />
Come on over... and be inspired.<br />
Some building<br />
companies offer<br />
turn-key packages<br />
where the build<br />
price incorporates<br />
an allowance<br />
for fences,<br />
driveways, paths,<br />
letterbox, some<br />
soft landscaping,<br />
and maybe a<br />
clothesline. You will<br />
want to ascertain<br />
what you will get for your money.<br />
A building company’s lowest sqm<br />
rate is likely (though not always) based<br />
on a standard stud and internal door<br />
height, and flat ceilings. Deviations like<br />
opting for over height doors or higher<br />
ceilings are usually extras with the build<br />
price increasing. Be aware of sales patter<br />
encouraging adding non-essential features<br />
you may not really want, and which might<br />
exceed your budget.<br />
The features incorporated into a new<br />
home impact on the sqm build price, a<br />

figure which can range from $1,600 per<br />
sqm for a standard house to over $3,000<br />
per sqm for an architecturally designed<br />
home.<br />
When visiting show homes, determine<br />
each company’s sqm rate and add-on<br />
features incorporated, for the home on<br />
view. Ask what is standard for each level<br />
within their range of builds. The figures<br />
will vary substantially between homes and<br />
companies. Gather plenty of information<br />
to gain an appreciation of what a quoted<br />

SELWYN GARDENING GUIDE SPRING <strong>2020</strong><br />
Did you know<br />
that healthy trees can add up to 20% to the<br />
value of your property?<br />
You may not think about it that often – but the<br />
trees on your property are a lifetime investment.<br />
Carefully selected trees on your property provide<br />
more than beauty - they increase the value of your<br />
home. Several recent surveys have shown that<br />
mature trees in a well-landscaped garden can<br />
increase the value of a house by 7 percent to 19<br />
percent.<br />
First impressions count when buying and selling a<br />
house. Something to reflect on is what happens<br />
when potential buyers view a property. The first<br />
thing they will see is your landscaping and exterior.<br />
Experts indicate that a well-maintained garden with<br />
mature trees can add thousands to a home’s value<br />
and speed up a house sale too.<br />
Respectful, experienced, and passionate tree<br />
care that protects and enhances your home<br />
In addition to adding significant value at the<br />
point of sale, trees also serve very practical and<br />
functional (as well as aesthetic) purposes for<br />
homeowners. They frame beautiful, relaxing, and<br />
pleasant landscapes and help keep a house cooler<br />
and protected from destructive winds and weather.<br />
Many tree care companies simply chop, cut, and<br />
call the job done. However, after speaking with THE<br />
TREE PEOPLE, it quickly became apparent that they<br />
are different. Simply put, they know your home is<br />
your haven and will always ensure it is treated that<br />
way.<br />
Started by Ra and Megan Hammer in 2004, THE<br />
TREE PEOPLE knew early on that their ethos and<br />
approach was going to be different. They never<br />
simply chop and cut, and instead pride themselves<br />
on the fact that they go against the grain of how<br />
many other arborists operate.<br />
They can help with any tree and pride themselves<br />
on being able to do so. They can remove large<br />
dangerous trees safely, look after the trees that you<br />
care about, transplant established trees with care<br />
and offer expert advice on all ‘things’ trees.<br />
Speaking with passion about what he does, Chief<br />
Tree Hugger Ra Hammer shares, “We had some<br />
very clear goals when we started the business<br />
that we still ‘live by’ today. It was important to<br />
us to preserve and maintain trees sustainably, to<br />
provide an environment that helps our customers<br />
to enjoy harmonious relationships with their trees, to<br />
offer excellent affordable tree care and to always<br />
adhere to best practice. I am proud to say that, 16<br />
years later, we still live and breathe these goals”.<br />
If you want to add value to your property, Ra,<br />
Megan, and the team at THE TREE PEOPLE can<br />
support you and your trees. They are your locally<br />
based experts and can help with any tree.

Look local<br />
for electrical needs<br />
A garden<br />
Locally owned and operated from<br />
their base in Rolleston, Juice Electrical<br />
has been looking after the needs of<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents for 14 years.<br />
Greg Horton and his team of four<br />
master electricians providing a<br />
professional and timely service<br />
whether it is residential, commercial or<br />
industrial, indoors or outdoors.<br />
“We pride ourselves on going the<br />
extra mile particularly with repair and<br />
renovation work and we’re very strong<br />
on maintenance,” says Greg.<br />
Creating a special ambience<br />
outdoors is part of the service.<br />
Integrated LED lighting is becoming<br />
very popular as it is a lot easier and<br />
less expensive to install because there<br />
is no need to dig trenches for wiring.<br />
Outdoor options include up-lighting<br />
trees and buildings, deck lighting and<br />
floodlights as well as security lighting.<br />
They advise on the best type and<br />
where they should be placed. Greg<br />
recommends installing sensors so the<br />
lights come on automatically at dusk.<br />
“We discuss the customer’s ideas<br />
with them, show them photos of<br />
other gardens with attractive outdoor<br />
lighting and make suggestions on<br />
how they can make the most of their<br />
outdoor area with a range of LED<br />
lighting options,” says Greg.<br />
In fact LED lights are now the preferred<br />
option for indoor and outdoor lighting<br />
as well.<br />
Juice Electrical does not have a<br />
vehicle charge for Rolleston so look<br />
out for the brightly coloured Juice<br />
Electrical vans as they work hard<br />
to look after the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district’s<br />
electrical needs. Call Greg and the<br />
team at 379 6644.<br />
A three week visit to the USA that lasted 15 years was how <strong>Selwyn</strong> local<br />
Maude Fairburn got started on her passion for everything American. Upon her<br />
return to New Zealand, Maude set about having her new home built in the<br />
Santa Fe style – a style she saw and fell in love with while travelling on Route<br />
66. The Santa Fe house style, also known as pueblo architecture, is striking<br />
for its colourful terracotta adobe walls and heavy timber doors, beams and<br />
detailing.<br />
Fourteen years fast forward and Maude’s passion has grown exponentially to<br />
include a themed garden full of cacti, succulents, geraniums and lavenders.<br />
While her garden is inspired by the gardens she saw in America, all her plants<br />
are grown in New Zealand and many sourced locally, plus some she has grown<br />
herself from babies.<br />
Walking through the impressive front entrance is like walking into another world.<br />
Maude’s house and garden cannot help but be noticed from the street by<br />
everyone who walks or drives by and the welcoming sign over the gate that<br />
reads ‘Mi casa es su casa’, literally translates to ‘my house is your house’.<br />
“All the decorations, inside and out are sourced from America,” says Maude,<br />
referring to the many Indian and Mexican features that can be seen around<br />
the property. Adobe-style walled gardens inlaid with colourful blue and white<br />
A passion for all things Santa Fe<br />
brings this house and garden to life.<br />

selwyn gardening guide spring <strong>2020</strong> | 5<br />
Protect your<br />
to relax in<br />
tiles, cowboy boot shaped planters, rustic bells, steer skulls, water features, spiky<br />
succulents, towering cacti and even a small monkey puzzle tree (Araucaria<br />
araucana) all have their place in Maude’s garden.<br />
“My daughter, Kim, got me into gardening,’ says Maude, “and when we first<br />
built the house, I thought we’d never fill the quarter acre section.” But fill it she<br />
did and she has never looked back.<br />
Time spent in the garden is a pleasure for Maude; she says she finds it “super<br />
relaxing” when working in the garden. “I just listen to Indian music and feel like<br />
I’m back in America.”<br />
She loves the beginning of spring and is often excited when she sees a cactus<br />
flower out for the first time in the season or when she wanders out in the garden<br />
to find a plant has grown so big.<br />
“They’re all so easy care,” she says of her plants, “with just a bit of weeding,<br />

this summer<br />
Protecting your outdoor area from<br />
the elements during summer, or any<br />
time of the year, can be as simple as<br />
giving Mark a call at locally owned<br />
company Shadecraft.<br />
Shadecraft specialises in custommade<br />
shade options that are both<br />
affordable and attractive tailored to<br />
suit your needs. Options for protection<br />
against the weather include shade<br />
sails, louvres, wave shades, eclipse<br />
canopies, umbrellas and drop blinds<br />
with a large range of sizes and a<br />
myriad of colours.<br />
“We pride ourselves on our many<br />
satisfied customers. The majority of our<br />
business is generated through word<br />
of mouth which is testament to our<br />
workmanship and customer service,”<br />
says Shadecraft owner Mark Levey,<br />
who is usually on site during installation<br />
to ensure things run smoothly.<br />
The high quality Eclipse canopy<br />
is extremely popular, protecting<br />
an outdoor area from all weather<br />
conditions, but still allowing for natural<br />
light. These can also be fitted with<br />
drop blinds to fully enclose the area.<br />
Shade sales are another popular<br />
choice and provide protection from<br />
the sun during the hot Canterbury<br />
summers while also visually enhancing<br />
the area while you are outside<br />
relaxing with family and friends.<br />
Mark at Shadecraft is the person<br />
to contact if you are considering<br />
enhancing your outdoor area for the<br />
warmer months or you need some<br />

space. His contact details are 0800<br />

with intelligro<br />
Spring is a time of growth and development, and the list<br />
of jobs to do is endless. With the weather warming up<br />
and daylight savings here, now is the perfect time to get<br />
stuck into the garden.<br />
Intelligro are trying to make small changes to help the<br />
environment and we’re here to help you and your family<br />
create a more sustainable future. Creating your own<br />
veggie garden is the perfect place to start.<br />
Growing vegetables is not only quite satisfying but very<br />
easy too! Growing some of your own food is a key part<br />
of a sustainable lifestyle.<br />
Here are a few tips to get you started:<br />
1. Pick a sunny position for your veggie garden with<br />
shelter from the wind.<br />
2. If you’re using timber, untreated is best. If using<br />
treated timber line with black plastic.<br />
3. Having a good quality soil is key for growing a<br />
productive veggie garden! For leafy, above the<br />
ground produce choose Intelligro Vege Garden Mix.<br />
For root crops, (potatoes, radishes etc) choose<br />
Intelligro Garden Soil Mix. A soil blend is preferred<br />
by these plants.<br />
4. Make sure you plant quality, in-season seedling<br />
(big is not always better).<br />
5. For a successful veggie garden make sure you<br />
establish a regular watering routine!<br />
Lawns...<br />
Spring is well known as lawn time.<br />
Lawns can be sown or repaired<br />
now, as long as you are sure the<br />
last of frosts have been and gone.<br />
We have a handy lawn guide on<br />
our website and our team would<br />
be happy to talk through any<br />
issues you may have, and point you<br />
in the right direction. It’s also a good time to fertilise<br />
your existing lawns, and repair any patches or holes.<br />
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for up-coming<br />
workshops & gardening advice and videos.<br />

Creating<br />
living indoor art<br />
SELWYN GARDENING GUIDE SPRING <strong>2020</strong> | 7<br />
Amy Albon loves<br />
the organic,<br />
sculptural effect of<br />
kokedama.<br />
Kokedama is a<br />
Japanese plant art form<br />
that literally translates<br />
to ‘moss ball’.<br />
When Amy Albon’s mother wanted to try a new<br />
hobby, Amy joined her at an evening class to learn<br />
how to make a kokedama, a Japanese garden art<br />
form.<br />
What Amy discovered was a whole new way of<br />
displaying indoor plants, and not just a hobby<br />
for her mum but also a small business for herself.<br />
Kokedama, literally meaning ‘moss ball’, originates<br />
in Japan, and is fast becoming popular in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
‘It’s a natural, organic way to display house<br />
plants, combining moss around the roots to create<br />
beautiful, self-contained pots instead of the usual<br />
manmade pots,’ says Amy. The class wasn’t quite<br />
what she’d expected so she did some online<br />
research and discovered a number of different<br />
techniques to create the moss balls.<br />
She says it took a lot of trial and error to perfect<br />
her technique but it was fun and new, and soon<br />
she was being asked to create moss ball plants for<br />
family and friends. Amy now sells her kokedamas<br />
from her facebook page and at local markets.<br />
Technique is everything when it comes to creating<br />
a kokedama and a strong, steady hand is needed.<br />
Soil is added to the roots, then covered with<br />
sphagnum moss and finally wrapped with string to<br />
create the ball.<br />
“I’ve learnt my own technique on how to mold the<br />
roots with moss, the tighter and more consistent<br />
the better, and how to lay the string to create<br />
beautiful lines and symmetry, which gives the plant<br />
its spectacular pot,’ says Amy. ‘Kokedama provides<br />
a sculptural focal point in any room and looks<br />
amazing on coffee tables.’<br />
Most houseplants are suitable to be turned into<br />
kokedama but Amy says she found succulents<br />
and ferns to be popular, with succulents being the<br />
easiest to care for. How often to water depends on<br />
the plant but when the kokedama is dry, it can be<br />
put into a bowl of water or a bath and left to soak<br />
for 20 minutes before being drained and put back<br />
on display.<br />
Amy suggests displaying kokedamas on wooden<br />
chopping boards, bamboo tripods, shallow plates<br />
(so the air can get through) or by hanging the balls<br />
- several hanging plants can make an eye-catching<br />
display.<br />

Perfect time for creating<br />
your dream pool<br />
A new swimming pool will make a splash this summer<br />
and you will find your friends and family will love your<br />
pool as much as you do. With summer on its way, now<br />
is the perfect time to organise the installation of your<br />
pool with local company Lagoon Pools<br />
Owners Julie and Warren Hastings installs pools sized<br />
from five metres to 12 metres in length to suit both<br />
large and small sections, with a huge variety of widths,<br />
colours and shapes.<br />
“There really is a pool for every site,” says Julie.<br />
Lagoon Pools is also the Leisure Pools dealer for most<br />
of the South Island featuring 100% composite fibreglass<br />
and, with patented innovations, every swimming pool<br />
is supported by their lifetime structural warranty and<br />
a lifetime osmosis warranty – this makes them the<br />
strongest pool available on the market.<br />
Pool automation is becoming popular with equipment<br />
monitoring and settings right at your fingertips from<br />
any location. Additional features including pool<br />
lighting, fountains and spa jets can enhance the pool<br />
area, transforming it into an extended living space<br />
where family and friends can relax in the outdoors,<br />
Julie says.<br />
It takes around five days to install a pool and the<br />
finishing touches can take from four weeks depending<br />
upon the design.<br />
Contact Lagoon Pools by phoning Julie or Warren<br />
0800 927 282 or 03 349 2160. You can also visit their<br />

Organic bins<br />
Spring is the perfect time to get back<br />
into the garden and start filling up your<br />
organics bin again.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council’s green<br />
organics bins can be utilised for<br />
garden prunings, weeds, leaves and<br />
grass clippings.<br />
Food items such as bread, dairy<br />
products, fruit, vegetables fish, meat,<br />
bones, coffee grinds, as well as foodsoiled<br />
cardboard containers and<br />
paper towels can also be placed in<br />
the green bin.<br />
Here are some useful tips to ensure<br />
your bin is fully emptied every week:<br />
• Keep the bin weight under 60kg. If<br />
you find it difficult to move the bin,<br />
then you may find it exceeds the truck<br />
lifting limits.<br />
• Keep the bin contents loose. Don’t<br />
compact your material by standing on<br />
it (it may not come out when tipped<br />
by the truck).<br />
• Place weeds, branches or<br />
newspaper at the bottom of the bin<br />
before filling with grass clippings. This<br />
reduces the likelihood of the grass<br />
clippings getting stuck.<br />
• Organics only! No plastic bags<br />
(including those labelled as<br />
compostable, degradable or<br />
biodegradable), metals, timber,<br />
sawdust, glass, rocks, stones or bricks<br />
as these cause considerable damage<br />
to the organics shredder.<br />
• Flax and cabbage leaves need to<br />
go in your red rubbish bin (as these<br />
get caught up in the shredder).<br />
• Make sure your bin is not overflowing<br />
– the lid needs to close.<br />
For townships with organic collection;<br />
why not swap your 240 litre red bin for<br />
a 240 litre green bin and an 80 litre<br />
red bin? You’ll save money and the<br />
environment.<br />

The art of hunting truffles<br />
An exciting find: a freshly<br />
dug organic truffle<br />
Quick to learn: Samantha rewards Bess<br />
with a treat for successfully finding a truffle.<br />
A truffle hunt: Lisa digs for a<br />
truffle after Bess points it out.<br />
Tresillian Truffles in West Melton was the second<br />
truffle orchard, or truffiere, in New Zealand. The<br />
property was planted with 1500 trees inoculated for<br />
bianchetto or white truffles about 18 years ago, with<br />
a mix of oak, pinenut and hazelnut trees.<br />
When Lisa and Stephen Williams bought the<br />
property three years ago they had no idea if the<br />
truffiere was productive. In fact, they had never<br />
seen a truffle before. But it didn’t take long for the<br />
couple to get up to speed.<br />
The first step was to hire a truffle dog to sniff around<br />
to find truffles - or not, since not all inoculated trees<br />
are productive - and truffles were found!<br />
“It’s expensive to hire a truffle dog; about $200 an<br />
hour. And it’s not performance-based. You pay<br />
whether the dog finds truffles or not. So, we decided<br />
to see if we could train our dog, Bess – and she took<br />
to it quickly,” says Lisa. “After three short training<br />
sessions Bess was able to find 1.5kgs of truffles in 30<br />
minutes. She loves finding them, and quite likes the<br />
taste too.”<br />
Truffle hunting with Bess is a lot of fun. She’s excited<br />
to be out in the truffiere and her enthusiasm is<br />
infectious. At the command: “Find me a truffle,<br />
Bess” she goes off sniffing. When she smells a truffle,<br />
she taps the ground with her paw to indicate where<br />
to dig.<br />
Her handler asks her to sit and digs at the spot, and<br />
there’s usually a truffle to be found. Lisa says she’s<br />
99% accurate.<br />
Over the last two years Bess has become more<br />
scent-specific and she will now only tap for truffles<br />
that are ripe and ready for harvest. Bess also has<br />
an apprentice - one of her offspring - so she won’t<br />
have to work quite so hard next year.<br />
Truffles have a symbiotic relationship with the trees<br />
in the truffiere helping the tree to grow. A stressed<br />
tree produces more truffles, as the micronization<br />
increases to support the growing tree. The truffles<br />
are linked to the roots of the tree by a small thread,<br />
when this connection is broken the truffles start to<br />
deteriorate. The truffles can be found on the soil’s<br />
surface down to a foot or more underground. They<br />
are a pale yellow to reddish brown colour and are<br />
either smooth like skin or like a fine suede to touch.<br />
The Bianchetto truffles range from as small as one’s<br />
little fingernail in size, up to about egg-size – which<br />
would be a large find.<br />
“They have a strong earthy scent with a hint of<br />
garlic and mushroom that permeates everything.<br />
But the taste is nothing like the smell. Bianchetto<br />
white truffles are generally used as a finishing<br />
product – grated raw on risotto, meat, or soup – or<br />
even into ice cream.”<br />
The Bianchetto truffle should not be heated over 60<br />
degrees hence and is used as a finishing product,<br />
whereas the Perigold Black truffle can be heated.<br />
“We recently had a food critic rate our truffles<br />
as being more aromatic and tasty than those<br />
produced in Italy, which I put down to the climate<br />
and soils – a bit like wine. We are also the only<br />
organic spray-free truffiere in New Zealand, using<br />
ducks for pest control,” says Lisa.<br />
Considered a rare delicacy, truffles of all types<br />
sell for around $3.50 per gram. In season (May to<br />
September) Tresillian Truffles offers truffle hunts and<br />
meal to taste truffles catering for various price<br />
ranges from budget to gourmet.<br />

Prebbleton-based Parva Plants,<br />
owned by former garden landscapers<br />
Greg and Jenny Tod, is an online<br />
plant nursery specialising in rare and<br />
hard-to-find plants. The business has<br />
been supplying mail order and, more<br />
recently, online plant orders<br />
throughout New Zealand for<br />
more than 50 years.<br />
“Parva Plants is all<br />
about sourcing and<br />
selling unusual<br />
plants - ones that<br />
you won’t find at<br />
other nurseries -<br />
at competitive<br />
prices. About<br />
80 percent of<br />
our plants are<br />
grown on-site from<br />
seed or tissue culture<br />
or sourced from local<br />
growers, but we also source<br />
plants globally.<br />
We’ve got a unique packaging<br />
system developed by the previous<br />
owner of Parva that ensures the plants<br />
are sent upright and arrive at our<br />
customers in good condition,” says<br />
Jenny.<br />
Parva Plants increased their standard<br />
pot size to 1L a year or so ago. This<br />
means they ship larger grade plants<br />
with a bigger root system, and these<br />
will have a better survival rate when<br />
planting out. A lot of the plants are<br />
also garden-tested to ensure they<br />
thrive when planted.<br />
The extensive product range includes<br />
everything from old-fashioned<br />
plants that are hard to<br />
source, to new releases,<br />
and includes a range<br />
of perennials and<br />
succulents through<br />
to native plants<br />
and exotic blubs.<br />
In addition<br />
to a very<br />
comprehensive<br />
website, Greg and<br />
Jenny produce<br />
a free printed<br />
catalogue every six<br />
months with at least 500<br />
different items listed, along with<br />
planting advice.<br />
Go to www.parvaplants.co.nz to<br />
browse their online nursery or request<br />
the latest catalogue or check out the<br />
garden gallery section for inspiration<br />
for your garden. The knowledgeable<br />
team at Parva Plants would also<br />
be happy to assist with advice and<br />
recommend plants that will work well<br />
together.<br />
RhodoDirect, a specialist<br />
rhododendron nursery with a focus<br />
on large-grade plants, is becoming a<br />
leading rhododendron supplier in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Lisa and Stephen Williams, both<br />
keen gardeners with experience in<br />
horticulture, purchased the business<br />
and relocated it to West Melton in<br />
March this year. It was an unplanned<br />
adventure! A road trip to buy a<br />
handful of rhododendrons from the<br />
Hanmer Springs area ended up in a<br />
purchase of 4500 plants and a new<br />
business venture to complement their<br />
truffiere.<br />
RhodoDirect is a family-owned<br />
business, keenly supported by the<br />
Williams’ two teenage daughters<br />
who share the passion for nature and<br />
gardening.<br />
Their new venture has been both<br />
successful and a steep learning curve.<br />
“Customers love the value we add by<br />
applying our horticultural knowledge<br />
to gardening and helping people<br />
choose plants that suit their climate<br />
and soil conditions,” says Lisa.<br />
RhodoDirect currently has 6000<br />
versatile and hardy evergreen<br />
rhododendron plants in stock, with a<br />
range of around 500 different varieties,<br />
which they plan to expand with an<br />
in-house propagation unit that will<br />
start in <strong>October</strong>. They will also cultivate<br />
specific thrips-resistant varieties.<br />
“We cater for all budgets with smaller<br />
plants starting from $25 to more<br />
mature 10-year-old plants for the<br />
instant fill-in effect. We’re excited to<br />
share our knowledge and encourage<br />
people to visit before the end of<br />
November to view the plants in flower<br />
and make a shopping list,” says Lisa.<br />
They sell online to customers from<br />
as far afield as Waiheke Island to<br />
Stewart Island. They are also open to<br />
the public from now until the end of<br />
November from 10am to 3pm, and<br />
by appointment between December<br />
and August.<br />

HB<br />
SERVICES<br />
& GARDEN MAINTENANCE<br />
Whether your tree needs pruned,<br />
thinned or something more extensive,<br />
locally owned HB Tree Services can<br />
help.<br />
Owner Matt Harley is a skilled arborist<br />
with over ten years’ experience in<br />
arboriculture, gardening, landscaping<br />
and operating heavy machinery. He is<br />
always keen to climb up the tree and<br />
get to work. Matt is passionate about<br />
tree care and removal, and enjoys<br />
sharing his industry knowledge.<br />
“I love to discuss and share my<br />
knowledge with clients for the ongoing<br />
benefit of the tree,”says Matt,<br />
who is based in Rolleston. “As well<br />
as making sure the work we do is<br />
aesthetically pleasing to our clients,<br />
we strive to leave the trees we prune<br />
healthy and safe to be around.”<br />
Tree care<br />
that matters<br />
Pruning trees can benefit the whole<br />
tree and removing dead, damaged<br />
and diseased branches helps prevent<br />
insect and decay organisms from<br />
entering the tree. Thinning a dense<br />
canopy on a tree increases air and<br />
sunlight, resulting in fewer disease<br />
problems.<br />
HB Tree Services was established to<br />
give people the best possible service<br />
for an affordable rate including an<br />
entire garden maintenance schedule.<br />
Matt believes in fair pricing and not<br />
over quoting. He also gives back to<br />
the local community donating fire<br />
wood to families in need.<br />

time of year is a ideal time to plant most species of<br />
landscaping plants.<br />

Remember to prepare your soil before planting. Apply<br />
compost and gypsum now for best results.<br />
