LINCOLN teenager Jacob<br />
Douglas will take his next<br />
step towards his motor racing<br />
dream when he travels to the<br />
United States next month for his<br />
formula 4 debut.<br />
The 16-year-old enjoyed a<br />
second day of testing with the<br />
Toyota FT60 putting in around<br />
80 laps in both wet and dry<br />
conditions at Hampton Downs,<br />
Waikato, on Sunday, in preparation<br />
for the US trip.<br />
Douglas, a multiple New Zealand<br />
kart champion, impressed<br />
both his management and Toyota<br />
Gazoo Racing New Zealand<br />
team at the recent Christchurch<br />
test day, enough to warrant another<br />
run at Hampton Downs.<br />
It also helped him and his<br />
team make the decision for<br />
him to travel to the US under<br />
the wing of Kiwi Motorsport’s<br />
Garry Orton and Teena Larsen<br />
to test a a formula 3 car and test<br />
and race the formula 4 machine.<br />

Council<br />
has less<br />
money<br />
to spend<br />
on roads<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
MONEY FOR maintaining the<br />
district’s roads is $1.3m a year less<br />
than expected, which may impact<br />
on levels of service.<br />
The district council’s projected<br />
roading budget has taken the hit<br />
as councillors prepare to adopt<br />
the final Long Term Plan <strong>2021</strong>-<br />
2031 at their fortnightly meeting<br />
today.<br />
While tens of millions are<br />
planned for a range of projects<br />
in the LTP, including new<br />
community centres and a new<br />
$1.5m artificial football turf<br />
at Rolleston, there has been<br />
a reduction in the amount of<br />
funding from Waka Kotahi NZ<br />
Transport Agency compared<br />
with the amount in the draft<br />
LTP.<br />
District council group manager<br />
organisational performance<br />
Kelvin Mason said in a report<br />
before district councillors that<br />
the reduction, in funds for road<br />
maintenance and road safety<br />
promotion, was $1.3m a year for<br />
three years.<br />

It comes after a second<br />

to have sealed the deal<br />
for the US trip.<br />
Said his manager Tiffany<br />
Chittenden: “He’s gone really<br />

Students’ fight for battered men<br />
TWO ROLLESTON College<br />
students have started a petition<br />
to persuade the Government to<br />
fund refuges for men who are<br />
victims of domestic violence.<br />
Brooklyn Cavanagh and Jade<br />
Frankland started the petition<br />
three weeks ago and it has<br />
already attracted more than<br />
1000 signatures.<br />
The year 13 students are<br />
aiming to reach the 10,000<br />
signatures required for the<br />
Government to formally<br />
consider the petition.<br />
“Domestic violence is<br />
often hidden behind closed<br />
doors, and victims are<br />
sometimes afraid or, in the<br />
case of men, embarrassed, to<br />
come forward and seek help,”<br />
Brooklyn said.<br />
“Domestic abuse comes in<br />
many different forms, from<br />
verbal to physical, and can take<br />
place over a short period to over<br />
many years,” Jade said.<br />
Currently, it is only women’s<br />
refuges that are funded by the<br />
Government, which left the 15<br />
per cent of victims of domestic<br />
violence, who were men, with<br />
very little support.<br />
The pair initially became<br />
interested in the topic as<br />
they undertook an assessment<br />
for their law and psychology<br />
class, aimed at trying to change<br />

GOLF COURSE REPAIRS<br />
Hororata Golf Club members<br />
are working on getting the<br />
course up to par following flood<br />
damage. President Nicky Muir<br />
said members started teeing off<br />
again last week as they were able<br />
to re-open nine of the holes. The<br />
club raised about $11,000 with<br />
an online fundraising campaign,<br />
for mending fences, bridges,<br />
greens, native plantings and other<br />
infrastructure. The total bill for<br />
repairs is estimated to be in excess<br />
of $20,000. The club has other<br />
fundraisers planned as it works<br />
to get the remaining nine holes<br />
open.<br />

Young racer<br />
ready to<br />
step up<br />
•From page 1<br />
Having driven both the earlier<br />
Toyota FT50 and the FT60,<br />
Douglas will test the US formula<br />
4 car at Laguna Seca, Button Willow<br />
and Mid-Ohio before making<br />
his US race debut at Laguna Seca<br />
at the start of September.<br />
He will leave for the US on July<br />
8. He said his time in the Toyota<br />
racing cars has been invaluable<br />
ahead of the US trip, which will<br />
mark his overseas single-seater<br />
debut.<br />
“I’ve definitely learned a lot<br />
from being in the TGRNZ environment<br />
with the engineering<br />
feedback from the team and the<br />
driving input from Chris van der<br />
Drift,” he said.<br />
“I know a lot of young racers<br />
have had a successful introduction<br />
to the US racing scene with<br />
Garry and Teena and I’m looking<br />
forward to it,” he said.<br />
TC Performance director Tiffany<br />
Chittenden, who manages<br />
Douglas and a handful of other<br />
up-and-coming Kiwi racers, is in<br />
no doubt the youngster is ready to<br />
make the big step.<br />
“He’s gone really well in the<br />
testing and has shown both speed<br />
and the ability to learn quickly so<br />
we all thought the time was right<br />
for this kind of trip,” said the<br />
former Porsche and GT racer.<br />

LTP largely retains preferences<br />
SPORTS CENTRE: Artificial turf for football and hockey is earmarked for Rolleston’s Foster<br />
Park.<br />
• From page 1<br />
“And we have assumed that our<br />
funding for the remaining years<br />
of the LTP will be similarly lower<br />
than our previous assumption,”<br />
Mason said.<br />
“The financial forecasts in<br />
the draft LTP were based on<br />
an assumed level of funding,<br />
however, notification of our<br />
indicative funding allocation of<br />
May 31 means that funding we<br />
will receive is lower than had<br />
been assumed,” he said.<br />
“It does mean there will be less<br />
budget than anticipated and this<br />
may have an impact on levels of<br />
service.”<br />
The remainder of the LTP has<br />
largely retained the district council’s<br />
preferred options outlined in<br />
the draft plan, with some changes<br />
and additions.<br />
The latter include an artificial<br />
turf for football and artificial<br />
turf for hockey at Foster Park at<br />
Rolleston; a $3.2m gymnastics<br />
facility in Rolleston to be leased<br />
to Affinity Gymnastics; a heritage<br />
strategy to inform future funding<br />
for projects which may include<br />
$20 rate funding in the 2022/<strong>23</strong><br />
annual plan.<br />
New community centres are on<br />
the cards for Prebbleton ($6.3m),<br />
Leeston ($9.2m) and Hororata<br />
(estimated $3m).<br />
The plan outlines construction<br />
of the Leeston Library and Community<br />
Centre will be delayed for<br />
completion in 2024/2025, allowing<br />
time for engagement on the<br />
preferred location and creation of<br />
a master plan for Leeston Park.<br />
Decisions include keeping the<br />
current approach of maintaining<br />
safe drinking water supplies with<br />
a view to look at options to avoid<br />

Flu still possible in spite of big decline<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
IT IS POSSIBLE flu is still<br />
circulating in the community,<br />
in spite of a lack of laboratoryconfirmed<br />
cases, says a Lincoln<br />
GP.<br />
Dr Denis Dumaine<br />
said less<br />
testing at medical<br />
practices<br />
could be one of<br />
the factors contributing<br />
to low<br />
confirmed flu<br />
Denis<br />
Dumaine<br />
cases this year.<br />
He said doctors<br />
had been<br />
encouraged to test for Covid-19<br />
at the first sign of respiratory<br />
symptoms. Patients were not<br />
interested in being tested for the<br />
flu, and the Ministry of Health<br />
did not recommend testing<br />
for flu in patients negative for<br />
Covid-19.<br />
“We can’t detect what we don’t<br />
test for,” Dumaine said.<br />
“As a consequence, it is absolutely<br />
possible that we have had<br />
more cases of flu than the few<br />
reported in New Zealand.”<br />
However, there had been a<br />
dramatic decline in what doctors<br />
at his practice would see in a<br />
normal year, prior to the pandemic.<br />
They had only seen about<br />
10 cases they suspected could be<br />
flu-related this year.<br />
World Health Organisation,<br />
UNDETECTED: There may be flu cases in the community which have not been picked up<br />
due to testing focused towards Covid-19.<br />
National Influenza Centre, at<br />
Environmental Science and<br />
Research director Dr Sue Huang,<br />
was unable to confirm there had<br />
been less testing for flu this year,<br />
with no figure available on how<br />
many tests were done.<br />
However, she said there had<br />
been other surveillance systems<br />
for flu besides the laboratory<br />
testing, and these also had not<br />
picked up flu.<br />
These included hospital-based<br />
and cohort study (about 2000<br />
participants) surveillance.<br />
There have been just three<br />
cases of laboratory confirmed<br />
cases of flu in New Zealand so<br />
far this year, as of last week, all<br />
detected in MIQ. This compares<br />
to the median number of<br />
laboratory confirmed cases<br />
from April to September, 2015<br />
to 2019, of about 5000. Numbers<br />
started to drop last year during<br />
lockdown, and there were only<br />
two cases from October to<br />
December.<br />
Rolleston Medical Centre<br />
practice manager Vicki Bool<br />
welcomed the lack of flu, particularly<br />
as the practice was busy<br />
with patients anyway, and was<br />
swabbing up to 30 people a week<br />
for Covid-19.<br />
“It’s good we don’t have it,<br />
because you are not confusing<br />
it with Covid and people<br />
aren’t panicking, it’s good to<br />
know it’s not flu,” Bool said.<br />
University of Otago, Christchurch,<br />
virologist Dr Lance Jennings<br />
said the lack of flu in New<br />
Zealand was reflected globally.<br />
It was a mystery as to why it was<br />
happening, even in the face of<br />
international border closures due<br />
to Covid-19.<br />
“We might have expected<br />
it if we had an influenza A<br />
pandemic, because we have<br />
seen it before, but with this<br />
virus (Covid-19) spreading<br />
globally, it’s unexpected,”<br />
Jennings said.<br />
In the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic,<br />
some other flu strains had<br />
disappeared.<br />
While reduced air travel and<br />
border management controls<br />
were considered by many to be<br />
a cause, Jennings personally<br />
thought it was due to the<br />
phenomenon of a dominant<br />
virus, in this case Covid-19,<br />
filling an ecological niche and<br />
not leaving any room for flu<br />
viruses.<br />
Jennings did not rule out a late<br />
surge this winter from flu. There<br />
were four strains of influenza<br />
viruses circulating globally,<br />
albeit at a low level. These were<br />
two A subtypes and two B lineages,<br />
which were covered in this<br />
season’s flu vaccine<br />
“As we know with influenza,<br />
we always expect the<br />
unexpected,” he said.<br />

Students hope to attract 1000 visitors<br />
SELWYN’S FIRST student-led<br />
festival to celebrate Matariki<br />
is set to attract up to 1000<br />
visitors.<br />
Lincoln High School senior<br />
students are holding Matariki:<br />
Kotahitanga o Waihora at<br />
Broadfield Garden on the<br />
evening of July 1.<br />
Deputy principal Kylie<br />
Horgan said she was proud of the<br />
group of 18 students for having<br />
come up with the initiative<br />
to host the event, aimed at<br />
educating the community about<br />
Matariki.<br />
“This has given a whole new<br />
group within the school an<br />
opportunity to lead a major<br />
event, they have really stepped<br />
up – the ideas and the creativity<br />
and just the willingness to do<br />
what needs to be done,” Horgan<br />
said.<br />
“The legends of Matariki<br />
and the significance of it are<br />
quite beautiful, and the stories<br />
behind each star in the cluster,”<br />
she said.<br />
Horgan and head student Kate<br />
Olijkan had visited Broadfiield<br />
Garden last week with a<br />
representative from a lighting<br />
company, to undertake a practice<br />
walk of the garden using the<br />
event’s star map.<br />
“It was really exciting to<br />
visualise how it’s going to look<br />
on the evening,” Kate said.<br />
The students had invited<br />
schools throughout <strong>Selwyn</strong> to<br />
LANTERN LIGHTS:<br />
Lanterns made by<br />
children in schools,<br />
including Springfield<br />
and Prebbleton<br />
schools, will make a<br />
shining statement at<br />
Matariki: Kotahitanga<br />
o Waihora on July 1.<br />
participate, and are visiting them<br />
with lantern-making kits.<br />
The star map features lanterndecorated<br />
destinations around<br />
the garden, each representing<br />
one of the nine stars in the<br />
Matariki cluster.<br />
Visitors will also be treated<br />
to kapa haka performances,<br />
a student-led marketplace,<br />
whare tamariki where children<br />
can colour in and make stars<br />
and lanterns, and an outdoor<br />
Matariki movie.<br />
Horgan said the event would<br />
be held annually and hopefully<br />
gain in popularity. The ticket<br />
price of $5 was aimed at covering<br />
costs.<br />
More than 500 tickets had sold<br />
as of last week.<br />

District’s skifields expecting bumper<br />
Race against<br />
time for<br />
Mt Olympus<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
SELWYN SKIFIELDS are<br />
anticipating a successful <strong>2021</strong><br />
season after low snow levels last<br />
year.<br />
Two of the district’s six skifields,<br />
Mt Olympus and Temple<br />
Basin, failed to open at all last<br />
year, due to the lack of snow.<br />
Bad luck struck again recently<br />
for Mt Olympus when the recent<br />
Canterbury floods caused slips<br />
and landslides on the access<br />
road.<br />
Members at the Windwhistle<br />
Winter Sports Club, which<br />
operates the skifield, were in a<br />
race against time to repair the<br />
road in time for opening in late<br />
July.<br />
They launched an online<br />
fundraising campaign at<br />
BoostedSport about 9.30am<br />
Tuesday last week. Within hours<br />
they met their $30,000 goal, and<br />
by 2pm Wednesday had reached<br />
the “stretch goal” of $50,000. By<br />
Monday morning it had reached<br />
more than $76,000.<br />
Vice president Tim Cookson<br />
said the response had been “unbelievable.”<br />
“It’s absolutely blown us away,”<br />
Cookson said.<br />
“We have to go like crazy now<br />
and get this road sort of smashed<br />
into shape,” Cookson said.<br />
Emergency repairs were estimated<br />
at $30,000, while the extra<br />
funds would help with more<br />
permanent repairs which would<br />
be undertaken after ski season.<br />
The skifield, which was established<br />
in 1932 has 528 members.<br />
Fresh snow cover on the<br />
mountain hinted at a good season<br />
ahead.<br />
“Everything is locked<br />
and loaded for a really<br />
good season, we just need<br />
to get this access road<br />
sorted and a wee bit more<br />
snow and we are in business,”<br />
Cookson said.<br />
It was good to be in such<br />
a position following not<br />
being able to open due to<br />
not enough snow last year, following<br />
uncertainty leading into<br />

SMASHED: Some of the damage to the Mt Olympus<br />
access road. (Above) – A thick covering of snow at<br />
Craigieburn last week.<br />
the season due to Covid-19.<br />
Temple Basin bookings officer<br />
Holly Harris said there<br />
was a tentative opening<br />
date of July 9, which was<br />
snow-dependent.<br />
“Hopefully pretty<br />
good,” she said of how<br />
she expected this season<br />
to be.<br />
Craigieburn Valley Ski<br />
club opened its skifield<br />
for just 13 days last year.<br />
President Sander Kriek said<br />
last ski season had been the<br />
worst on record since 1987. The<br />
ski area, established in 1953,<br />
usually opened for 70 days each<br />
year.<br />
However, on Monday it was<br />
still snowing after 25cm of “superb<br />
powder” at the weekend. He<br />
expected this season, scheduled<br />
to begin July 17, to be “awesome.”<br />
The road and the skifield were<br />
ready to go, there was a good<br />
team on board, and new events<br />
were planned.<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
GET CREATIVE ON BEHALF<br />
OF THE ENVIRONMENT<br />
In May, Lincoln Envirotown “launched” two exciting competitions<br />
which challenge people to use their creative skills to highlight<br />
environmental issues:<br />
The first of these is the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waste Art Competition<br />
This new competition has been instigated at the request of a local<br />
business who has provided generous prize money. It is open to all High<br />
School students who attend school in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District or those of<br />
High School age who are home schooled in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Students must<br />
work individually or in pairs. The art pieces must be assembled or<br />
constructed from previously used materials which otherwise would<br />
have likely gone to landfill.<br />
We thank the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Arts and Culture Coordinator who has<br />
worked with us on this project and look forward to viewing the variety<br />
of works that come out of this interesting competition.<br />
More information regarding the rules, some health and safety<br />
advice, and timelines can be found by visiting Eventbrite or Lincoln<br />
Envirotown’s Facebook Page or Website. Interested participants are<br />
asked to register by the end of July but pieces do not need to be<br />
completed until August 13th when they will be set up in the stadium of<br />
the Rolleston Community Centre and judging will take place.<br />
All the artwork will be on display for the public to view at the<br />
Community Centre on Saturday 14th August. It is envisaged that<br />
some work will be exhibited at various locations for a short time after<br />
the competition.<br />
We hope that people will enjoy participating in this thought<br />
provoking project and look forward to seeing the creativity generated.<br />

“Yes, climate change is a worry,<br />
it’s having an impact on the snowline,<br />
but we are still a storm-based<br />
ski industry,” Kriek said.<br />
He and a couple of friends<br />
had stayed overnight on the<br />
skifield during the recent floods.<br />
Throughout the storm, they had<br />
run from culvert to culvert with<br />
shovels to unblock them and protect<br />
the access road.<br />
Porters Alpine Resort, the only<br />
non-club field in the district, is set<br />
to open on Friday.<br />
Mt Cheeseman shared a<br />
video of fresh snow falling on the<br />
mountain late last week, while<br />
Broken River Ski Area is seeking<br />
two full-time, live-in volunteers<br />
for the season, to undertake duties<br />
such as snow shovelling and assisting<br />
the chef.<br />
Mt Cheeseman has set its opening<br />
date for July 3.<br />
Manager Sam Timbrell said he<br />
was hoping for 60 open days this<br />
winter, after being able to open<br />
only nine days last year.<br />
“It’s shaping up pretty well, a<br />
nice cold start, plenty of regular<br />
snowfalls so far,” Timbrell said.<br />
The district’s remaining skifield<br />
at Broken River is expected to<br />
open on July 9.<br />
It is seeking two full-time,<br />
live-in volunteers for the season,<br />
to undertake duties such as snow<br />
shovelling and assisting the chef.<br />
RETIRED RADIO personality<br />
John Dunne is dusting off his ski<br />
gear as he prepares to take to the<br />
slopes at Porters Alpine Resort<br />
when it opens for the day on<br />
Friday.<br />
The 65-year-old Castle Hill<br />
resident is a keen recreational<br />
skier and part-time ski<br />
instructor.<br />
“I love it – the freedom, the<br />
mountain atmosphere, and the<br />
people,” he said of his favourite<br />
sport.<br />
Excited about the promise<br />
of plenty of snow this winter,<br />
he plans to be at Porters on<br />
day one, both working as a ski<br />
instructor and getting in plenty<br />
of runs.<br />
Dunne said Porters had made<br />
the best of the bad season last<br />
year, generally having a good<br />
ski season thanks to its snowmaking<br />
equipment.<br />
“The Craigieburn Range has<br />
some of the most incredible ski<br />
country you will get anywhere<br />
in the world, we are incredibly<br />
lucky in <strong>Selwyn</strong> to have such<br />
variety,” he said.<br />
As well as having skied around<br />
the world, he had skied at all<br />
of the district’s six skifields. He<br />
started in the sport as a child and<br />
was at Porters on its opening day<br />
in 1968.<br />
He liked Porters for its great<br />

TIM WRAIGHT New Wood For Old Iron<br />
Exhibition at Little River Gallery 26 <strong>June</strong> – 27 July<br />
Tim Wraight is a musician and artist from<br />
Marahau. He works primarily in carved wood,<br />
a medium he has loved since childhood. As a<br />
child he was surrounded by works created by his<br />
great-great-grandfather John Henry Menzies of<br />
Menzies Bay on Banks Peninsula.<br />
In 1990 he was offered the opportunity to train<br />
with traditional Maori master woodcarver John<br />
Mutu, who he worked with for the rest of that<br />
decade. He still works for iwi in the Nelson/<br />
Golden Bay region making traditional works for<br />
their marae and public art installations.<br />
This has influenced the way he<br />
works since, and although his<br />
personal art practice has<br />
moved away from<br />
the traditional, the<br />
methods and way of<br />
making reflects this<br />
background.<br />
The works for this<br />
show “New Wood<br />
for Old Iron” at Little<br />
River Gallery take old<br />
iron and steel tools<br />
and gift them new<br />
intricately carved and<br />
decorated handles. This is his way of honouring<br />
the role these hand tools have shaped our places<br />
and environments in the past, when hard work<br />
with simple but effective tools made our places<br />
and grew our food. It is also a rejection of the<br />
ease with which we now alter our landscapes<br />
with massively powerful machinery and the<br />
damage we can so easily inflict on our fragile<br />
environment.<br />
Tim learnt to use these types<br />
of tools from his grandfather,<br />
an old-time farmer who also<br />
lovingly crafted wonderful<br />
handles for his tools. This<br />
show also honours those who<br />
worked with muscle power<br />
and honed skills to do what<br />
was needed with these tools<br />
to sustain their lives.<br />

FUTURE PROOF: A zone will avoid overcrowding at Springfield School,<br />
which is undergoing a rebuild.<br />
Springfield School to<br />
get enrolment zone<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
SPRINGFIELD School<br />
is less likely to become<br />
overcrowded in future as<br />
the Ministry of Education<br />
prepares to introduce an<br />
enrolment scheme.<br />
Principal Keri Steele<br />
said the school’s roll had<br />
been growing steadily, but<br />
it “ballooned” last year to<br />
56 before dropping back<br />
to 40 this year.<br />
Steele said the ministry<br />
noted the increase and<br />
wanted to make sure there<br />
were only local pupils attending<br />
the school.<br />
Officials recently met<br />
with the school. They<br />
found there were only<br />
three families attending<br />
who now lived outside<br />
the local area, and those<br />
families had moved there<br />
from the local area after<br />
their children started<br />
school at Springfield.<br />
Steele welcomed the enrolment<br />
scheme proposal,<br />
believing it would bring<br />
the school into line with<br />
other schools in the area<br />
which already had zones.<br />
She understood it was<br />
now mandatory for all<br />
schools to have enrolment<br />
schemes. For Springfield,<br />
a zone would help future<br />
proof the school, which<br />
is undergoing a rebuild,<br />
against large roll fluctuations.<br />
“I do (think it’s good),<br />
in terms that local children<br />
will be going to local<br />
schools because that’s<br />
the way it should be,” she<br />
said.<br />
The ministry is consulting<br />
with the community<br />
on introducing the enrolment<br />
scheme.<br />
A spokespersons said<br />
it was to assist the board<br />
of trustees “manage the<br />
risk of overcrowding,<br />
provide a fair and<br />
transparent process for<br />
enrolment and to ensure<br />
we are making the best<br />
use of schooling facilities<br />
across the network of<br />
local schools.”<br />
Readers respond to the proposed<br />
Lincoln South development,<br />
Lincoln’s maternity hospital<br />
and the district council’s plan to<br />
discharge local committees<br />
THank you for the opportunity to<br />
share our concerns re: the proposal for a<br />
further 2000 new homes in the south of<br />
Lincoln.<br />
We have lived in Lincoln for the last 45<br />
years. A further large building increase<br />
will adversely affect the structure and<br />
character of Lincoln.<br />
More schools , shops, medical centres<br />
and businesses will be required, increase<br />
in heavy traffic in already crowded narrow<br />
streets, not to mention extra commuter<br />
volumes, the loss of valuable land for food<br />
production.<br />
We have both worked within the<br />
community of Lincoln and have seen<br />
the population grow from under 1000<br />
to approximately 8000 at present. – Jim<br />
and the Reverend Francie<br />
Conolly<br />
Not only am I very saddened by the<br />
closure of the Lincoln Maternity Hospital,<br />
as several our grandchildren were born<br />
there, and it is such a friendly place, but I<br />
am also very concerned about the threat to<br />
the Lincoln Community Garden.<br />
So much community effort has gone<br />
into that garden, surely a condition of<br />
sale could be to keep the community<br />
garden. There must be some communityminded<br />
purchaser out there? – Sue<br />
Jarvis, Springston<br />
With this week being the National Week<br />
of the Volunteer, it was disappointing to<br />
read that the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council is<br />
doing away with (discharge according to<br />
a council spokesperson) the current local<br />
community, halls, domains and reserve<br />
committees.<br />
These ‘local committees,’ some having<br />
been in existence since the 1870s, are<br />
made up of volunteers who have provided<br />
their time, and through local fundraising<br />
efforts, the halls, domains and reserves<br />
that their communities are proud to have<br />
today.<br />
I hope the council recognises the local<br />
knowledge that members of these committees<br />
have built up over time, that goes<br />
with providing such facilities and not<br />
discard it without further thought.<br />
To my knowledge I don’t recall the<br />
mayor or councillors campaigning to<br />
remove local community committees<br />
during the last election process, many<br />
of whom provided a forum for their<br />
electioneering.<br />
They may wish to reflect on their<br />
decision. – Stuart Brannigan,<br />

Blackadder comes to Rolleston<br />
CentreStage Rolleston is excited to<br />
offer its upcoming July production,<br />
Blackadder II directed by Marilyn Ollett<br />
and running from 15 – 24 July <strong>2021</strong>. This<br />
is the company’s fifth show and after the<br />
sell-out success of its previous production,<br />
Chicago, tickets are in hot demand and<br />
selling fast.<br />
Based on the BBC series, this highly<br />
entertaining and hilarious adaptation<br />
focuses on three episodes - Bells, Head<br />
and Beer.<br />
camera but requires a little more effort on<br />
stage! And this show has 30 scene changes<br />
that need to flow as seamlessly as possible.<br />
Director Marilyn Ollett says<br />
it has been an absolute<br />
pleasure to be working<br />
with the creative team at<br />
Centrestage Rolleston<br />
and with such a great<br />
group of actors, in bringing<br />
Blackadder II to the stage.<br />
“The stage to tv script<br />
adaptation comes with<br />
some inherent challenges.<br />
After all, a change of scene<br />
takes only a nanosecond on<br />
Then there is the challenge of portraying<br />
such well-known characters without them<br />
becoming a caricature. Let’s face it; there<br />
can only ever be one Rowan Atkinson!<br />
And, not least, the fact<br />
that many people are so<br />
familiar with the series<br />
that they know what is<br />
coming next! But this<br />
series is a true classic<br />
comedy - so well written<br />
that that feeling of<br />
anticipation just heightens<br />
our enjoyment.<br />
So, whether this is<br />
your first or 100th time<br />
watching Blackadder, I am<br />
sure you will find plenty to<br />
laugh at. And if not I will<br />
have the whole bally lot of<br />
you executed!”<br />

ROLLESTON Rugby Club<br />
is on a mission to get its<br />
members talking about mental<br />
health and support those<br />
struggling.<br />
New Zealand Rugby is providing<br />
support and resources<br />
for the club for free as part<br />
of its HeadFirst programme.<br />
This aims to get the rugby<br />
community talking about<br />
depression, anxiety and stress,<br />
and provide them with mental<br />

Rolleston Rugby Club intermediate<br />

Lyttelton committee member<br />
Aaron Stevens if Rolleston<br />
would benefit from similar<br />
support.<br />
Said Ruki: “Over the last<br />
couple of years, especially with<br />
Covid, the club sort of identified<br />

“Most males, big muscular<br />
men playing rugby, they often<br />
think you’ve got to be tough,<br />
you can’t be weak and that<br />
kind of stuff.<br />
“Honestly, that’s sort of<br />
changing now. People are realising<br />
we’re not all tough, we<br />
all need help now and then, or<br />
even some discussion.”<br />
As well as Rolleston and<br />
Lyttelton, Linwood is also<br />
being supported by New<br />

New Zealand Rugby culture<br />
and well-being manager Nathan<br />
Price said the HeadFirst<br />
programme provides workshops<br />
and resources for club<br />
members to learn about their<br />
mental health and help others.<br />
“They [the workshops] are<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces a new species found in his<br />
backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public<br />
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates<br />
found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section<br />
Evading predators reason<br />
for rapid jumping beetle<br />
AN INTERESTING looking<br />
beetle specimen I caught over<br />
the summer was identified<br />
as a tumbling flower beetle<br />
(Zeamordella monacha).<br />
This beetle gets its name from<br />
its rapid jumping behaviour that<br />
it uses to evade predators.<br />
Sometimes also called a pintail<br />
beetle, this 4-6mm long beetle<br />
has a pointed abdomen and<br />
is found in New Zealand and<br />
Australia.<br />
There are 39 observations<br />
shown in New Zealand on<br />
iNaturalist, of which my Lincoln<br />
specimen is the southern-most<br />
recorded. Most specimens were<br />
observed in summer months<br />
(December to February).<br />
Adult specimens have been<br />
found feeding on flowers<br />
of Acacia, cherry, rose and<br />
peach leaves, while larvae<br />
are commonly found in dead<br />
wood and larval host plants<br />
in Euphorbiaceae, the spurge<br />
family.<br />

Its purpose is to add Rakaia<br />
River water to the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
River system, recharging the<br />

habitats and groundwater levels,<br />
benefiting wildlife and farmers<br />
alike.<br />
It is not operating currently,<br />
following the heavy rainfall<br />
of May 30 and 31. Repairs<br />
are planned after sediments<br />
deposited in the recharge<br />
basin and the access road and<br />
fencing were damaged.<br />

Celebrating to the<br />
stars for Matariki<br />
A festival of events celebrating to the stars and back will be part of marking Matariki in<br />
Waikirikiri/<strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Matariki, which begins with the rising of the Matariki star cluster (the Pleiades), signals the Māori<br />
New Year and is considered a time of celebration and renewal.<br />

occasion in our mid-winter calendar.<br />
“It is a time of celebration and a time of renewal. As the Council works with a range of community<br />
partners, we are excited to be ‘learning’ our way into different opportunities and ways to express<br />
the true meaning of Matariki, here in Waikirikiri.”<br />
The events will begin with a stargazing evening and will include workshops on manu tukutuku<br />
(kite making), rongoā (traditional Māori medicine) and traditional and modern workshops on<br />
mahinga kai. The mahinga kai workshops will include a chance to make your own mōkihi (a raft for<br />
transporting food) and cook some modern takes with Manu and Joe from Suburban Eatery.<br />

People are also being encouraged to host Meet Your Street events, with the Council offering up to<br />
$75 for people to host a street party.<br />
“Matariki is a time for community and we’re encouraging and supporting people to get to know<br />

Special celebrations for new<br />
citizens from 2020<br />
A rousing kapa haka performance helped confirm the official<br />
moment when over 100 people became Kiwi.<br />
A special ceremony was held at the Tai Tapu Community Centre<br />
where 102 people were welcomed as citizens of Aotearoa.<br />
The group were those who received their citizenship last year when<br />
the Ministry of Internal Affairs hit pause on citizenship ceremonies<br />
because of the Covid-19 global pandemic.<br />
All new citizens who received their citizenship during that period<br />
were sent a citizenship certificate from the Ministry of Internal<br />
Affairs to mark that they had become citizens, but missed out on<br />
the full ceremony.<br />
The evening was opened with four songs performed by the Tai<br />
Tapu Primary School Kapa Haka group. After a formal welcome<br />
from Mayor Sam Broughton each new citizen was presented with<br />
a certificate marking the occasion and shared food and celebrated<br />
together with their families and friends.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton said it was important to mark the occasion<br />
with a special recognition, especially with the ceremonies not being<br />
able to go ahead last year.<br />
“The citizenship ceremony is a special time for our new citizens<br />
and we didn’t want anyone to miss out. It’s also something we<br />
value as people of Waikirikiri and citizens of Aotearoa. We aim to<br />
be a welcoming district whether people are passing through or<br />
living here and that includes marking their special occasions such<br />
as becoming citizens.”<br />
Prebbleton roundabouts construction continues<br />
Construction for the new Prebbleton roundabouts is moving into the next phase as work on the<br />
redesigned roads begins.<br />
Isaac Construction Ltd began work in March to build the two-lane roundabouts and other road works<br />
needed at the Springs Road/Marshs Road and Shands Road/Blakes Road intersections.<br />
Work has been progressing steadily, with all the major earth works, such as installing underground power<br />
and other services, now completed at Shands Road/Blakes Road. The building of the new, wider road<br />
and lane layout with additional lanes, including a separate cycle lane, has begun. Despite delays from the<br />
recent rain, the roundabout currently remains on track to be completed by the end of July.<br />
Separate to this work, Christchurch City Council has begun road works on Shands Road east of the<br />
Christchurch Southern Motorway with Shands Road now one-way going east along this section of the<br />
motorway. A detour is in place for traffic travelling west towards <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Christchurch City Council<br />
expects this one-way system to be in place until 15 September.<br />
For the Springs Road/Marshs Road roundabout the majority<br />
of the earthworks have been completed. The remainder are<br />
expected to be completed in the next few weeks, with the<br />
new road layout expected to begin in July.<br />
The roundabouts are expected to cost a total of $9.7<br />
million, with Waka Kotahi/New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
funding covering 75% of the cost. The Council will cover<br />
the remaining cost for the Shands Road/Blakes Road<br />
intersection, while the balance for the Springs Road/Marsh<br />
Road intersection will be split between the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
and Christchurch City Councils.<br />

After 61 years of service there is a new boat in town on the LII/Ararira River.<br />
The Council’s weed cutter the Ellesmere Queen has been replaced with a new custom-built boat, which<br />
has had its first outing to help keep the river clear this month.<br />
The Wilton 2020 is named in honour of Wilton Tyson, a long-standing L2 Drainage Committee<br />
member. His son Murray Tyson has taken over as the operator of the boat and manages the weed<br />
cutting operation.<br />
The weed cutter is used for crucial maintenance of the Ararira / LII river, keeping the river clear of<br />
weed and flowing freely. The weed cutting operations is part of the Council’s land drainage work which<br />
covering nine classified land drainage schemes across the district.<br />
This year the work has cleared weed out of the L2/Ararira River from Moirs Lane just south of Lincoln<br />
to Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. Controlling the weed keeps the river level under control and prevents<br />
flooding and other drainage issues in the catchment.<br />
The Wilton 2020 has more power compared to<br />
the old boat and was designed specifically for<br />
this application.<br />
Local company Martin Hydraulics won the<br />
contract to build the new boat, working with the<br />
Council and our operator to provide a custom<br />
built boat that matched the needs on this river.<br />
Weed cutting operations generally occur in the<br />
late summer to autumn depending on weed<br />
conditions. This year's work finished on 17 <strong>June</strong>.<br />

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY<br />
Is business your calling?<br />
If you’re a big thinker, a natural leader or a<br />
born organiser, business could be your perfect<br />
career choice.<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury has a wide<br />
range of business study options designed to<br />
equip individuals with the skills needed to<br />
take advantage of the many opportunities<br />
available in the business world. Qualifications<br />
include certificates, diplomas, degrees<br />
and graduate certificates and diplomas in<br />
specialties such as project management, sales<br />
and marketing, accounting, HR and change<br />
management.<br />
School leaver Rachel Fraser decided she’d<br />
love a job in an office environment. She<br />
studied a diploma in business at Ara and<br />
now uses the skills and knowledge she gained<br />
organising appointment bookings for the<br />
South Canterbury District Health Board.<br />
She says of the diploma: “It was filled with<br />
relevant information that directly related to<br />
the field, as well as skills like communication,<br />
time management and effective planning<br />
which I find myself using every day. It was an<br />
amazing experience.”<br />
Olivia Smith worked in hospitality for 12<br />
years before studying a business diploma<br />
at Ara, specialising in administration and<br />
technology. “Deciding to study business<br />
opened up so many opportunities,” she says.<br />
Olivia did a lot of her learning in a<br />
simulated office environment. “The tutors<br />
were amazing - they adapted to each students’<br />
learning style. The highlight was realising I’d<br />
suddenly acquired a massive number of skills<br />
that I could use every day in all areas of my<br />
life.”<br />
Olivia is applying those skills in her role as<br />
a customer service officer at ACC. “I work in<br />
the very role I was trained for, and I can do it<br />
with confidence.”<br />
Mike Roberts discovered a passion for<br />
project management while working as a<br />
software tester. With the support of his<br />
employer, he studied a graduate diploma<br />
in project management at Ara where he’d<br />
previously gained his IT degree.<br />
Mike says the industry project he<br />
undertook as part of his postgraduate course<br />
was a highlight of his studies. “Being able to<br />
demonstrate your learnings by working in a<br />
real-world setting is so valuable. It’s a fantastic<br />
opportunity for students.”<br />

STRIDING OUT: Moment of Kaos hangs on to win by a length at<br />
Addington on Thursday night.<br />
Patience pays off as giant<br />
trotter records first win<br />
• By Dave Di Somma<br />
IN ALL his years in the<br />
game Bruce Negus has<br />
never trained a horse the<br />
size of Moment of Kaos.<br />
“He’s the biggest horse<br />
I’d ever seen,” said the<br />
Burnham-based Negus,<br />
“he’s 18 hands . . . he’s a<br />
big friendly giant.”<br />
And the eight-year-old<br />
is now a race winner after<br />
taking out the Airpark<br />
Canterbury Trot at<br />
Addington on Thursday<br />
night for driver Jessica<br />
Young-Grant. The win<br />
coming at his 15th attempt,<br />
and after two seconds from<br />
his previous four starts.<br />
“I call him The Monster,”<br />
said Robert Hanna, who<br />
co-owns the horse with<br />
his mate Denis Mills: “I<br />
thought he’d win a race<br />
and you have to be patient,<br />
but it was a great thrill to<br />
win at Addington.”<br />
That’s because Hanna<br />
is one of the track staff<br />
at Addington, and, after<br />
owing horses for about<br />
40 years, it’s his first win<br />
there.<br />
And patience is a key<br />
part of the Moment of<br />
Kaos’ story.<br />
Hanna bought the horse<br />
for $800 three years ago<br />
after seeing it at the workouts.<br />
It was then revealed that<br />
it had quarter cracks so it<br />
was turned out at Hanna’s<br />
property at Sefton in<br />
North Canterbury.<br />
Two and a half years<br />
later they thought they<br />
better do something with<br />
the horse and it went to<br />
Negus about three months<br />
ago. It then ran third in his<br />
“debut” at Methven<br />
on April 26 behind Crème<br />
De La Crème and Tom<br />
Brady.<br />
Remarkably that placing<br />
came more than three<br />
years after his previous<br />
race day appearance. He<br />
had had five unplaced runs<br />
for trainer John “Coaster”<br />
Howe between January<br />
2017 and April 2018.<br />
Now eight, “Kaos” does<br />
have some breeding on<br />
his side. His mother Just a<br />
Moment is a half-sister to<br />
millionaire trotter Take A<br />
Moment (39 wins from 67<br />
starts).<br />
Thursday night’s win<br />
came at start number 10<br />
for Negus.<br />
“He found the line<br />
good,” said Negus, “he’s<br />
eight but he might get better<br />
yet.”<br />
Said Hanna: “We’re hoping<br />
he’s not finished,” said<br />
Hanna.<br />
Negus plans to race him<br />
next in a junior driver race<br />
and then take him south<br />
for Forbury Park’s last race<br />
meeting on July 8.<br />
“I’ll be taking a full<br />
truck,” said Negus, “I have<br />
a lot of good memories of<br />
racing there and it should<br />
be a good night.”<br />
Negus continued his<br />
pleasing season at Addington<br />
Raceway on Sunday<br />
when recording a winning<br />
double, boosting his winning<br />
tally to 26 this term.<br />
He bookended the<br />
meeting courtesy of<br />
Dreaminsover in the<br />
Mid-Winter At Addington<br />
(amateur drivers) Mobile<br />
Pace (2600m) and<br />
Dashtothebeach in the<br />
First Direct Taxis Mobile<br />
Pace (1980m).<br />
Dreaminsover appears<br />
to have found his grade<br />
in the amateur races and<br />
has developed a great<br />
association with northern<br />
amateur reinswoman<br />
Cheree Wigg, with the<br />
partnership recording four<br />
wins to date after Sunday’s<br />
victory.<br />
They had to do it tough<br />
in their latest outing,<br />
sitting parked for the first<br />
lap before securing the<br />
trail at the bell.<br />
Dreaminsover was then<br />
able to utilise the passing<br />
lane and hold off Franco<br />
Hoffman to win by a halfneck.<br />
“I thought he was<br />
extraordinarily brave,”<br />
Negus said. “It looked a<br />
tough run, but he loves a<br />
good fight.<br />
“He shouldn’t have<br />
paid that money ($25)<br />
because he has been going<br />
great races with no luck.<br />
I was pretty confident he<br />
could go a good race, and<br />
running 3.15, parked for a<br />
lap, he deserved it.”<br />
Negus was also pleased<br />
with Dashtothebeach’s win<br />
after her front-running<br />
performance.<br />
“She was driven to her<br />
strengths because she is<br />
a pretty tough stayer,” he<br />
said.<br />
“She is a three-year-old<br />
filly with a bit of ticker.<br />
She is not up to the very<br />
top ones, but she is pretty<br />
good.”<br />
Negus was on the brink<br />
of a treble, however, 13-win<br />
mare Sundons Flyer came<br />
up a nose short in the Avon<br />
City Ford Trot (2600m).<br />
“She just got beaten a<br />
nose in the last stride, and<br />
normally she isn’t that<br />
good in the wet,” Negus<br />
said.<br />
The broodmare paddock<br />
is beckoning Sundons<br />
Flyer, however, Negus said<br />
he would like to line her up<br />
on New Zealand Cup Day<br />
one last time.<br />
“I have been looking for<br />
an excuse to retire here for<br />
two years, but she keeps<br />
going really good races, so<br />
she is still racing,” he said.<br />
“I would like to have<br />
her in Cup Day because<br />
she has won twice and the<br />
mark she is on now she<br />
would be competitive.<br />
“I will just keep ticking<br />
her over. If she wins<br />
between now and then we<br />
will have to think about<br />
that because a foal out of<br />
her would probably have<br />
some value.”<br />

Vaccinations for<br />
the rest of Aotearoa<br />
New Zealand<br />
The COVID-19 vaccination rollout for the general population<br />
starts from the end of July.<br />
Our COVID-19 vaccination programme has built momentum<br />
steadily since February. We are vaccinating around 100,000<br />
people a week at the moment. In the second half of the year<br />
we hit top speed and everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and<br />
over will be able to be vaccinated.<br />
Moving to the general population<br />
So far, vaccinations have been made available to those most at<br />
risk of getting COVID-19 to limit the chances of it getting into the<br />
wider population.<br />
With more vaccine supply coming on, and having ramped up our<br />
infrastructure, vaccinations for everyone else in New Zealand<br />
aged 16 and over (the general population) start from 28 July.<br />
This is a very large group of people. To make this flow smoothly,<br />
we will break this down by age bands.<br />
All people aged 60 plus can book their vaccinations from 28 July.<br />
Then, two weeks later, people who are 55 plus. From there, new<br />
age bands will be opened up every 2–3 weeks based on confirmed<br />
deliveries of the vaccine and the speed of rollout to earlier groups.<br />
By mid to late August, invitations should be open for people over<br />
45. By mid to late September, invitations should be open for those<br />
over 35, with everyone else being eligible from October.<br />
Invitations<br />
Most people will get a direct invitation to book – either by email,<br />
text, phone call or in the post. You will then be able to book through<br />
Book My Vaccine, a new national booking system that will be online<br />
from 28 July, or phone a new national call centre. Availability of<br />
booking slots (the date, time and place you can be vaccinated)<br />
will vary between district health board (DHB) regions.<br />
Once you are eligible to be vaccinated, you can be vaccinated<br />
at any time. There is no cut off.<br />
Registration<br />
Even if your age band isn’t open, everyone aged 16 and over will<br />
be able to go to Book My Vaccine to register for an invitation from<br />
28 July. Registration means we will be certain to have your correct<br />
contact details and when your age group is opened, you will get an<br />
invitation telling you it’s your turn to book.<br />
Getting a vaccination<br />
Step 1<br />
Step 2<br />
Step 3<br />
Receiving an invitation<br />
We’ll call or send you an email, text or letter to invite<br />
you to book.<br />
Make your booking<br />
From 28 July, go to Book My Vaccine or call the new<br />
national call centre to book both doses, or to register<br />
if your age band isn’t open yet.<br />
Get your vaccination<br />
Have your first vaccination dose.<br />
3–6 weeks later have your second vaccination dose.<br />
If you don’t hear from us, or are concerned, you can register<br />
for your vaccination through the new national Book My Vaccine<br />
booking system at any time from 28 July.<br />
Important dates<br />
28 July People 60+ Vaccinations open<br />
11 August People 55+ Vaccinations open<br />
Mid to late Aug People 45 + Invitations should open<br />
Mid to late Sept People 35+ Invitations should open<br />
October People 16+ Invitations should open<br />
Other ways to get vaccinated<br />
As we go through the year there will be other ways for people<br />
to be vaccinated. These will include workplace vaccinations and<br />
other targeted vaccination events across the country. For some<br />
remote rural communities we will vaccinate all age groups at the<br />
same time to make it easier for them. Our successful whānaucentred<br />
approach to vaccinations will continue for Māori and<br />
Pacific communities and those with disabilities.<br />

Nurse back in the wild ADVERTISEMENT<br />
SPECIAL OFFER<br />
KORU NUTRITION<br />
A few years ago Kathy was<br />
worried everything would<br />
all come to a grinding halt.<br />
A natural go-getter, her love<br />
for the wild rugged outdoors<br />
was calling but every form of<br />
exercise really was taking its<br />
toll. “I just love to get out into<br />
nature and push myself, but<br />
even on the easy rolling walks<br />
I was struggling to keep up”.<br />
Nursing responsibilities were<br />
becoming increasingly harder<br />
and some of the old climbing<br />
activities took a back seat. What<br />
Kathy wasn’t prepared for was<br />
the feeling that the older she<br />
got the more her joints needed<br />
support, that she would have to<br />
slow down and scarily it all felt<br />
overwhelming; thankfully this<br />
didn’t turn out to be the case.<br />
Now in her seventies, Kathy<br />
is back out doing what she<br />
loves whilst still working in the<br />
nursing home. “All of us work<br />
hard, and joke around having a<br />
laugh, then it turns serious and<br />
they ask me, ‘Seriously Kathy,<br />
you used to be so worried about<br />
getting older - what’s changed,<br />
what is your secret?’”<br />
“I’ve realised it is actually<br />
no longer a secret - I was just<br />
a little slow on the uptake. I<br />
read a review from legendary<br />
broadcaster Peter Williams and<br />
then scrolled through hundreds<br />
of others on the product Koru<br />
FX”.<br />
“It’s a natural rub rather<br />
than a pill and if Peter finds it<br />
good, then it must be worth a<br />
try. I tell you what, the review<br />
wasn’t wrong. I tried it and<br />
now I wouldn’t be without it!”<br />
Koru FX cream by Koru<br />
Nutrition has become NZ’s #1<br />
fastest growing topical joint<br />
support cream. With thousands<br />
of happy customers, Koru FX<br />
has set a new bar for joint<br />
support.<br />
“I feel like I am back to<br />
my old self. Last year, I was<br />
up Mount Taranaki again. I<br />
wouldn’t be doing that without<br />
a bottle of Koru FX in my<br />
pocket. I laughed when I saw<br />
some cheap knock-offs - I tell<br />
all my friends, if it’s not Koru<br />
Fx by Koru Nutrition...it’s not<br />
real.”<br />
Containing high quality oils<br />
like calendula, arnica, manuka<br />
and peppermint, along with<br />
12 others, Koru FX provides<br />
the perfect formulation for<br />
supporting joints and muscles.<br />
Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition Ltd, Christchurch.<br />
Countless doctors and<br />
pharmacists are recommending<br />
Koru FX cream due to its<br />
natural ingredients and fast<br />
acting delivery.<br />
If you’re looking for a fastacting<br />
and long-lasting, natural<br />
product, harnessing the benefits<br />
of essential oils, then Koru FX<br />
is for you.<br />
Ask for Koru FX cream next<br />
time you’re in the pharmacy<br />
and try it for yourself.<br />

GARDENING 29<br />
Joy to be found in winter planting<br />
THE START OF winter and a<br />
great month for planting new<br />
strawberries, fruit trees, berries<br />
and roses. Garden centres are<br />
overflowing with new season<br />
plants – plan carefully and enjoy<br />
planting.<br />
Strawberry varieties and<br />
planting<br />
Select a few different varieties<br />
to spread the harvest time. Strawberry<br />
plants are classed as either<br />
day-neutral or short-day.<br />
Day-neutral varieties (try ‘Aromas’<br />
and ‘Temptation’), will fruit<br />
any time of year that temperatures<br />
allow. Short-day varieties<br />
(try ‘Camarosa’ or ‘Camino Real’),<br />
initiate flowers during the short<br />
days of spring and autumn, with<br />
the main crop coming in early<br />
summer and another in autumn.<br />
Some varieties such as Tioga<br />
(short-day) are excellent planted<br />
in summer – the plants then establish<br />
and produce a heavy crop<br />
the following summer.<br />
Before planting, incorporate<br />
compost into the existing soil,<br />
then create mounds 80-100cm<br />
above the existing ground level.<br />
Plant into these mounds and<br />
space plants 15cm apart.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
New citrus, pip and stone<br />
fruit are now available at garden<br />
centres. Select trees that grow best<br />
in your particular climate and<br />
location. Look for sturdy, healthylooking<br />
trees with a strong stem<br />
and no signs of pests or diseases.<br />
Also check how tall your<br />
tree will get and if your variety<br />
requires another tree for pollination.<br />
You can extend harvest<br />
times by planting trees that fruit<br />
at different times, giving you a<br />
steady supply throughout the<br />
year.<br />
Before planting, remember soil,<br />
site, sun and shelter. Choose a site<br />
with well-drained, friable (crumbly)<br />
soil. If your soil is not ideal,<br />
add in compost and gypsum to<br />
help with drainage. Also consider<br />
raising the height of the fruit tree<br />
when planting to avoid pooling<br />
around the trunk.<br />
Your fruit tree needs full sun<br />
for at least six hours a day for<br />
maximum ripening of fruit, and<br />
shelter from the wind is essential.<br />
Fruit trees only flower once a year<br />
and in a windy position, flowers<br />
can be blown off the tree which<br />
means no fruit.<br />
Wind also affects bees accessing<br />
flowers for pollination – no bees<br />
mean no pollination and fruit set.<br />
Berry fruits<br />
Many berry fruit plants are now<br />
available including blackberries,<br />
TASKS: Extend<br />
your strawberry<br />
season by<br />
planting different<br />
varieties and get<br />
all rose pruning<br />
done before<br />
the end of next<br />
month.<br />
blueberries, gooseberry, blackcurrant,<br />
raspberries, and red and<br />
white currents. Some berry fruit<br />
grow better in colder parts of NZ<br />
so check with your local garden<br />
centre for advice.<br />
Roses<br />
Two of the most important rose<br />
tasks this time of year are pruning<br />
and planting. Depending on<br />
the weather, pruning should be<br />
carried out by the end of July. Remove<br />
all inward facing branches<br />
and small twiggy growth. Shorten<br />
back main growth by at least half,<br />
pruning to outward facing buds<br />
(the direction of new growth).<br />
Always remove any old prunings,<br />
leaves or petals from under your<br />
roses to reduce overwintering<br />
diseases. Spray with a copper<br />
compound after pruning to reduce<br />
blackspot and rust infection<br />
in summer.<br />
Perennials<br />
Perennials are plants that survive<br />
for at least three years. New<br />
plants are now available from<br />
garden centres. With existing<br />
herbaceous perennials (growth<br />
dies down each year but regrows<br />
in spring), such as Shasta Daisies<br />
and Salvia etc, it is time to divide<br />
and replant them.<br />
Trees and shrubs<br />
Plant trees and shrubs from<br />
now through till August. Plan<br />
new plantings carefully! Allow<br />
room for new plants to mature,<br />
especially with trees. As with any<br />
plant, choose healthy and sturdy<br />
specimens.<br />

Winter Gardening Ideas<br />
Prune your roses! Best done on a dry, sunny day. If you<br />
have any questions about pruning your roses, send them<br />
to us at info@igro.co.nz and we will get back to you as<br />
soon as we can.<br />
Protect your plants from frosts. Add Organic Compost to<br />
gardens and layer with one of our barks. This will help<br />
keep the plant’s roots protected from the cold. Cover<br />
veggie beds with a frost cloth, and where possible, move<br />
pots indoors if a big frost is forecast.<br />
If you are planning on growing potatoes, give the area<br />
you are planting in a boost by adding in Intelligro Potato<br />
Fertiliser before planting and Organic Compost.<br />
Plant veggie seedlings like broccoli, cauliflower,<br />
radish, silverbeet, peas and spinach.<br />

As they are locally based the added<br />
bonus is that they do not have a service<br />
vehicle charge in Rolleston.<br />
Security lighting is one of the many<br />
services Juice Electrical provide and they<br />
have plenty of different options to suit all<br />
properties.<br />
Greg recommends LED (light emitting<br />
diode) lights for not only security but<br />
also up-lighting, deck lighting and<br />
floodlights and can advise on the best<br />
type and where they should be placed.<br />
He also suggests installing sensors so the<br />
lights come on automatically.<br />
LED lighting is a lot easier and less<br />
expensive to install because there is no<br />
need to dig trenches for wiring and LED<br />
lights are fast becoming the preferred<br />
option for indoor lighting as well.<br />
“The technology has taken off and<br />
is replacing halogen and incandescent<br />
bulbs for the home. Low voltage LED<br />
technology has advanced from being<br />
initially used in calculators and then<br />
torches to being suitable for lighting<br />
anywhere in the home and we highly<br />
recommend them.”<br />
Working hard to ensure their<br />
customers get the result they want<br />
and enjoy a high-quality professional<br />
service is at the centre of everything<br />
they do at Juice Electrical. For your<br />
next electrical job do not hesitate to<br />

needs solving.<br />

Saving time, money and water<br />
on your irrigation needs<br />
Winter is a great time to think about<br />
installing your watering system with<br />
some of the latest cost effective and easy<br />
to use automated options, according<br />
to Phil Hudson from locally owned<br />
company Freeman Irrigation.<br />
The company installs their pipes with<br />
a Mole Plough which provides a no mess<br />
solution to the installation.<br />
“With this ‘invisible’ trencher you<br />
wouldn’t know we have been on your<br />
property within just a couple of weeks.<br />
It’s perfect for the winter time,” says Phil.<br />
The latest technology<br />
comes into play with<br />
automated WiFi – the<br />
sprinklers can be connected<br />
to weather station forecasts<br />
so if rain is expected the<br />
amount of water is reduced.<br />
By operating your system<br />
remotely, the flow can<br />
be adjusted to suit the<br />
conditions, saving water<br />
and money.<br />
“We have a range of<br />
smartphone controllers<br />
and rain sensors that can<br />
be fitted to most systems,<br />
allowing to have easy<br />
control from anywhere. If you want to<br />
save money and conserve water a good<br />
rain sensor is an affordable solution,”<br />
says Phil.<br />
Heading into the cooler months is<br />
also a great time for maintenance on<br />
your irrigation systems before spring<br />
arrives. Some of the basic problems<br />
include clogged sprinklers; leaking<br />
sprinklers and valves; obstructed<br />
sprinklers; leaking/blocked solenoid<br />
valves; overspray onto footpaths, streets<br />
or buildings; design problems; missing<br />
A Mole Plough<br />
reduces the impact<br />
of installing pipes<br />
on your property.<br />
nozzles or pipe leaks and breaks.<br />
Freeman Irrigation provides<br />
an extensive range of irrigation<br />
services, not just for residential<br />
homes but also parks, golf<br />
courses, horticultural and<br />
viticultural properties, subdivisions<br />
and commercial properties.<br />

Decorating on a budget –<br />
reuse and recycle<br />
When money is tight there are simple<br />
and budget friendly decorating ideas that<br />
can create an inspiring and welcoming<br />
home.<br />
Before you start worrying about<br />
what you can afford to buy, take the<br />
opportunity to provide a clean slate<br />
for the room you want to update. By<br />
removing dated, worn or damaged items<br />
there will be more space for you to be<br />
creative.<br />
Make the most of the furniture you do<br />
have. A simple way to change the look of<br />
your room without spending any money<br />
is to shift your furniture around to change<br />
the focus and proportions of the space.<br />
If a new couch is not in your budget,<br />
disguise your dated one with a slipcover<br />
for a fresh new look. Buying used and<br />
pre-loved pieces of furniture is a great way<br />
to save and you never know what hidden<br />
gems you will stumble upon at a thrift<br />
store or market that will fit in within your<br />
space.<br />
A bookcase or side table can be given<br />
more personality by placing some of your<br />
favourite pieces together and display<br />
in groups. It could be a cup and saucer<br />
that you love or a photo that just needs a<br />
frame. Wallpaper could be added to the<br />
interior of a bookcase for an eclectic look.<br />
Another option is to stack your books<br />
according to colour or spruce things up<br />
with some new bookends.<br />
An old wooden ladder sitting in your<br />
garage could be your next favourite<br />
décor piece. Clean with sandpaper and<br />
maybe add a coat of paint, then use it as<br />
extra storage or to house plants inside or<br />
outside.<br />
With a little imagination, you can make<br />
a tired side or coffee table feel brand<br />
new. Consider painting the edge of a<br />
simple black piece in gold, for instance.<br />
If you have an old kitchen chair that no<br />
longer fits in with the rest of your décor,<br />
repurpose it as a bedside table. Again a<br />
fresh coat of paint will make it work in the<br />
new setting.<br />

budget, check out next month’s Home<br />

Clean air technology meets low<br />
emission standards<br />
Winter is here, so if you need to<br />
turn up the heat, the Blaze King from<br />
Heatstore brings long lasting, sustainable<br />
warmth to your home.<br />
A cosy home is a happy home and<br />
a blazing wood fire that lasts all night<br />
can make all the difference. Blaze King<br />
fires do just that with new catalytic<br />
technology enabling the fire to produce<br />
thermostatically controlled heat all night<br />
long.<br />
“People really enjoy waking up to a<br />
warm home without worrying about the<br />
fire going out during the night. They can<br />
then add more wood to the fire when<br />
they get up, turn up the heat and they’re<br />
in a cosy home no matter what the time<br />
of the day is,” says Heatstore commercial<br />
manager David Chalklen.<br />
Blaze King log burners can last 12<br />
or more hours without having to be<br />
stoked up and work by using a clean air<br />
technology that raises the temperature of<br />
the smoke to burning point.<br />
“Being able to generate heat from<br />
otherwise wasted energy in smoke<br />
allows for a much cleaner burn, easily<br />
meeting and raising the bar for log<br />
burners available in New Zealand and<br />
Environment Canterbury’s ultra-low<br />
emission burner (ULEB) standards.”<br />
Customer feedback has been<br />
phenomenal with customers saying that<br />
they never had a fire that heats the whole<br />
home and keeps going all night. Even<br />
those who live in rural areas and don’t<br />
need to meet the low emission standards<br />
buy Blaze Kings.<br />
Blaze King has a 40-year history of<br />
making wood fires and a 30-year award<br />
winning history of making catalytic<br />
wood fires, mainly to heat homes in the<br />
freezing Canadian winter. They are also<br />
very energy efficient burning up to 30 per<br />
cent less wood than a conventional fire.<br />
Heatstore’s showroom is at 2/472<br />
Blenheim Road has over 20 different<br />
types of log and pellet burners on display<br />
and the team are happy to provide their<br />
expert knowledge to ensure you make<br />
the right choice for your home and<br />
lifestyle.<br />
The showroom is open Monday to<br />
Saturday, give them a call on 03 343<br />
1651 or visit their website at www.<br />

Octavia wagon a lot of car for the money<br />
I GOT INTO a conversation just<br />
recently with a work colleague,<br />
he’s also a car enthusiast, when<br />
time allows we are always talking<br />
about things automotive.<br />
After asking me how I was<br />
enjoying the Skoda Octavia<br />
evaluation car, he raised a really<br />
good point by saying out of any<br />
car manufacturer, Skoda has<br />
probably done the best job of<br />
turning around its image.<br />
That harks back decades, the<br />
central European company had<br />
a reputation that wasn’t entirely<br />
complementary.<br />
However, today, it is a class<br />
leader in terms of design,<br />
quality, reliability, efficiency and<br />
refinement.<br />
None of that surprises me,<br />
Skoda, now manufactured in<br />
what is known as the Czech<br />
Republic, fell entirely into<br />
Volkswagen Group’s hands in<br />
2000. Since then the company’s<br />
product has been on a constant<br />
programme of improvement,<br />
bearing in mind that Volkswagen<br />
took an interest in Skoda in 1991,<br />
and the product that has been<br />
leaving the factories since then<br />
has been outstanding, with the<br />
Octavia being a classic example<br />
of that.<br />
In New Zealand we have two<br />
Octavia wagons – Style TSi and<br />
RS. Put simply, they are both<br />
four-cylinder petrol-powered<br />
with a turbocharger driving to<br />
the front wheels, the TSi has a<br />
1.4-litre unit, the RS has a 2-litre<br />
engine, and it is the subject of this<br />
evaluation.<br />
The TSi has a power output<br />
of 110kW and drives through<br />
an eight-speed automatic<br />
transmission. The RS gets<br />
something special under the<br />
bonnet, it has the engine that<br />
makes the Volkswagen Golf GTi<br />
so special. In the Octavia it is<br />
rated with 180kW and 370Nm,<br />
it drives through a seven-speed<br />
direct shift transmission.<br />
What makes the RS engine so<br />
special are the points at where<br />
the outputs are reached, power<br />
peaks at just 5000rpm extending<br />
to 6500rpm, maximum torque<br />
is available all of the way from<br />
1600rpm to 4300rpm. The<br />
consequence of all of that is that<br />
there is so much immediacy at all<br />
points of the rev band, you don’t<br />
need to have the engine singing<br />
high to extract acceleration.<br />
Such is the bottom end power,<br />
the engine wants to pull from<br />
low revolutions and that is a<br />
good thing, it feels strong under<br />
the accelerator pedal and hauls<br />
solidly right to the red line.<br />
However, that’s not necessary,<br />
it’s great to manually (paddles)<br />
short-shift the gears and feel<br />
VERSATILE: A host of storage options are available under<br />
the wagon’s tailgate.<br />
SKODA OCTAVIA RS: Performance-based family wagon.<br />
the turbo forcing air into the<br />
cylinders vigorously.<br />
In terms of acceleration, the<br />
Octavia wagon will launch to<br />
100km/h in 6.7sec and will<br />
make 120km/h from 80km/h in<br />
4.1sec. These are feisty times and<br />
rewarding to feel, performance is<br />
constantly vivid. Of course, the<br />
Octavia has various drive modes<br />
that can be selected at will, all<br />
are self explanatory – comfort,<br />
normal, sport and driverprogrammable<br />
individual.<br />
I used normal and sport most<br />
of the time I was driving the<br />
wagon, simply because there is<br />
a nice audible throb delivered<br />
constantly in those modes. It isn’t<br />
loud, but it does let you know<br />
something special is sitting up<br />
front.<br />
Normal and sport modes don’t<br />
deliver a harsh ride. Yes, the<br />
Octavia wagon has progressive<br />
dampers which alter the way the<br />
wagon rides. Personally, I couldn’t<br />
tell a lot of difference, in all<br />
modes the ride is compliant and<br />
comfortable.<br />
In order to beat the weather<br />
bomb that was forecast for<br />
Canterbury recently, I took to the<br />
roads at dusk, and as darkness<br />
encroached misty drizzle made<br />
the roads greasy in places. They<br />
weren’t ideal conditions, but it was<br />
a good test of how the Octavia<br />
wagon handled the conditions.<br />
• Price – Skoda Octavia RS<br />
wagon, $57,990<br />

370Nm, seven-speed DSG<br />

• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />
6.7sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.6l/100km<br />
I have a friend who has just<br />
traded his Volkswagen Passat<br />
wagon for a 2017 Octavia RS, and<br />
he tells me how much he misses<br />
the 4Motion system of the VW,<br />
he says the RS doesn’t put power<br />
to ground as well when the road<br />
surface is slippery.<br />
The conditions I drove in were<br />
ideal to test that theory, and I<br />
think it’s fair to say that Skoda<br />
has done a lot with the latest<br />
generation Octavia to make<br />
it work when grip is low, the<br />
electronics working well so that<br />
I never had any issues. I guess<br />
that also has a lot to do with the<br />
quality of the low profile Good<br />
Year tyres (225/40 x 19in), they<br />
have a solid tenure and offer<br />
plenty of feel so the driver is<br />
fully aware of what is happening<br />
underneath.<br />
On board, the Octavia is chock<br />
full of technology. The evaluation<br />
car was carrying a lot of extras,<br />
and it’s fair to say Skoda’s option<br />
list is extensive.<br />
However, even in standard<br />
form the Octavia wants for little,<br />
it carries all of those wonderful<br />
features that have been developed<br />
through the VW Group and,<br />
what’s more, the fit and finish is<br />
absolutely sublime. I particularly<br />
like the gearshift lever, well it’s<br />
more like a button really, just<br />
requiring a gentle flick of a switch<br />
to activate. The Octavia makes<br />
you feel good to be in and it<br />
looks after you with high comfort<br />
levels and user-friendly in-cabin<br />
dynamics.<br />
It is also a genuine fiveseater<br />
car, and the load space is<br />
cavernous and adaptable so that<br />
all of those belongings we tend<br />
to carry with us can be stored<br />
securely.<br />
That’s just one of the reasons<br />
why I like wagons and I<br />
particularly like the Octavia RS.<br />
Its performance and versatility<br />
make it many different vehicles<br />
in one.<br />
I’d also be very interested<br />
in driving the TSi wagon,<br />
sometimes those with what<br />
would be deemed the mainstream<br />
model often turn out to be the<br />
pick of the bunch.<br />
In all cases it’s certainly time to<br />
forget all those old disparaging<br />
Skoda jokes.<br />

Development 5,000m2 + home<br />

Looking for a subdividable land opportunity, land banking, or<br />
more room to play - then check this out.<br />
Perfectly placed within the heart of one of Rolleston’s premier<br />
neighbourhoods, this property presents a rare opportunity to<br />
own one of the last large sections in the area. Living 1B zoning<br />
will benefit developers, while the short walking distance to<br />
Foster Park, the Aquatic Centre & Rolleston College makes this<br />
a desirable location to call home. <strong>Selwyn</strong> Council invites you to<br />
consult with them on your development plans, which they have<br />
indicated could potentially accommodate a four lot subdivision,<br />
with further intensification possible on a case by case basis.<br />
This smaller scale could present a great opportunity if you are<br />
looking at starting off in development.<br />
The spacious four bedroom <strong>23</strong>0sqm (approx.) Stonewood<br />
Home is the sections only occupant. Built in the early 2000’s<br />
from brick and tile, the floorplan provides generous amounts<br />
of space throughout. The open plan kitchen - living - dining and<br />
separate lounge set the scene for quality living and relaxation.<br />
The living and lounge independently open onto the large<br />
paved deck area where you can survey your large grassed area<br />
interspersed with established trees for privacy.<br />
The master suite features two separate mirrored walk in robes<br />
on the way through to the ensuite where two basins with their<br />
own mirrors sit astride the tiled spa bath which takes centre<br />
stage and is a definite place to luxuriate. That’s not to mention<br />
the separate shower and toilet for convenience. The bedrooms<br />
are completed with three further doubles and their built in<br />
wardrobes, while plentiful hallway storage cupboards allow you<br />
to keep life in order. The main bathrooms shower and bath plus<br />
separate toilet look after your family and guest needs, while<br />
the triple car garage including laundry with exterior clothesline<br />
provide the functionality and mancave opportunities.<br />
The private front boundary fence was constructed in 2019 and<br />
compliments the remainder of this fully fenced section. With<br />
so much on offer this property needs to be inspected to be<br />
appreciated. I look forward to meeting you at an Open Home.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Thinking about building?<br />
Do your research and make a list<br />
13<br />
List the key points you would<br />
like in your home such as:<br />
• number of bedrooms, living areas and<br />
bathrooms<br />
• size of garage e.g. double or triple<br />
• open plan living, or one or more<br />
separated living spaces<br />
• kitchen dynamics including whether a<br />
pantry or scullery is a must<br />
• wardrobes – size and type e.g. walk-in<br />
robe in master bedroom<br />
• office or study nook needs<br />
• laundry separate or in the garage<br />
• cladding and roofing types<br />
• storage facilities within the home<br />
including cupboards, storerooms and<br />
attic trusses;<br />
• type of heating and whether under floor<br />
heating, a ducted system or a log fire<br />
• double or thermal low-emissivity<br />
windows<br />
• spaciousness of entryway<br />
• indoor/outdoor flow<br />
There are many decisions to be made when<br />
building a new home. Most need to be made<br />
before plans are lodged for consent and<br />
construction gets underway. Housing companies<br />
usually guide their clients through this process.<br />
Whether working with a housing company<br />
or calling on the assistance of an architect or<br />
architectural draftsperson, there will be a lot<br />
of decisions. The process will be easier for all<br />
concerned, if you have done your homework<br />
first. Researching and making a list will help<br />
prepare you for the many decisions you will<br />
need to make in a short space of time.<br />
Research building trends and choices<br />
This will help you get a feel for what is<br />
available. Before deciding on your builder, you<br />
will want to find out whether the company will<br />
require you to choose from their existing library<br />
of house designs and a set range of features and<br />
fittings, or whether you will have the freedom<br />
to have a more bespoke plan and to choose any<br />
feature available on the market.<br />
As you research, keep records of what you<br />
might like to have in your own home. Initially,<br />
you will be idea gathering. Take photos of<br />
aspects within house designs which appeal to<br />
you along with the fittings you like.<br />
Think of each room in turn and consider your<br />
family requirements, noting down features you<br />
definitely want to include.<br />
Take into consideration fittings such as<br />
exterior doors; style of door and handles;<br />
window catches; kitchen joinery and handles;<br />
bench top options; positioning of sink, oven,<br />
microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator within<br />
the kitchen; bathroom fittings such as the type<br />
of vanity, shower and bath; size of windows<br />
and how to capitalise on the sun; positioning of<br />
rooms to allow family interaction and also quiet<br />
areas; whether to have a deck or patio and type<br />
of seal for your driveway and paths.<br />
Before sitting down with the designer, ensure<br />
you have completed your research and have a<br />
clear idea of what you want, remembering your<br />
final choices will be influenced by your budget,<br />
size of section, and product availability. There<br />
may also be design limitations influenced by<br />
building regulations and<br />
construction capabilities.<br />

SELLING YOUR HOME?<br />
Potential buyers are<br />
likely to be living in your<br />
neighbourhood, it’s an<br />
area that they already love<br />
and are actively seeking<br />
to stay in. That’s why it<br />
makes sense to advertise<br />
your property in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Property Guide.<br />
We are the only media<br />
that reaches across the<br />
entire <strong>Selwyn</strong> District.<br />
