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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Tim has a record of significant<br />

public artwork gracing our<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 />

New Zealand Rugby is providing<br />

for the club for free as part<br />

of its HeadFirst programme.<br />

This aims to get the rugby<br />

depression, anxiety and stress,<br />

Said Ruki: “Over the last<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 />

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 />

are planned after sediments<br />

deposited in the recharge<br />

basin and the access road and<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 />

maramataka or the Māori lunar calendar, as you walk trails in Foster Park, McHughes Forest,<br />

Lakeside Domain and along the Liffey. The Journeys of Manu app can be downloaded from<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 />

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 />

for opportunities to add to our skills and<br />

experience.”<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 />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4689mm; width, 1994mm;<br />

height, 1468mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

1984cc, 180kW,<br />

370Nm, seven-speed DSG<br />

automatic<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 />
