RAKAIA RIVER salmon anglers
are revelling in a season they say
is the best in a decade.
“It’s one out of the box so far,”
Simon McMillan of Leeston
(pictured) said.
He is leading the Southbridge
Hotel salmon fishing competition,
having weighed in a 8.95kg fish on
January 6.
Hotel owner/
operator Harry
Singh said it was
the biggest fish
entered in the
competition since
1997. The smallest
so far this season
was 5.65kg, which
would have been
considered a
good-sized fish in
previous seasons.

THERE’S SOME gutless
buggers around. I’d like
to use a more applicable
but unprintable word to
describe the guy who tried
to kick an eel to death (see
page 7).
Luckily a passer-by walking
her dog saw what was
happening, called him out
and he put the defenceless
eel back in the stream where
it belonged. Otherwise it appears
the eel wouldn’t have
stood a chance.
This guy was not young,
he was about 19, and according
to the witness was wearing
a stupid-looking pirate
hat and apparently trying to
impress a couple of girls.
He must have thought he
was one tough, fearless sort
of a bloke.
A pre-season tackling
session with Lincoln rugby
would probably determine
how much ticker he has.

ROLLESTON residents are
going to Lincoln for groceries as
roadworks have slowed access
around the Rolleston Drive/
Tennyson St intersection.
Rolleston Drive will be
one-way westbound until the
upgrades, to install traffic signals,
are completed in late April.
In addition, the intersection is
closed 9pm-6am daily until the
end of this month. Tennyson St
is closed either side, before it will
re-open to one-way southbound
traffic from mid-February.
Accessing the New World
supermarket and other restaurants
and shops in the area of
the intersection is challenging
residents’ and visitors’ patience.
They are finding themselves
driving around the outskirts of
town to negotiate the closures
and one-way system.
Residents commenting on the
Rolleston Community Group on
Facebook spoke of their frustrations,
with some saying they
were finding it quicker to access
the New World at Lincoln than
at Rolleston.
The initial post, which attracted
more than 290 likes and 150
comments, was from a resident
wanting to get to the New World
and asking “has anyone got a
spare helicopter for hire?”
District council group manager
infrastructure Murray
Washington said upgrade work
on a major intersection always
meant “some disruption” to
usual driving routines.
“This is a major, required
upgrade and we’re grateful for
people’s patience and understanding

roads will improve traffic flow
and safety,” Washington said.
Detours were in place to allow
access to all businesses affected,
he said.
Along with the traffic signals,
the upgrade will include a new
lane layout with right hand
turning traffic lanes and cycle
lanes, linking to the pathways
recently installed to the north on
Tennyson St, along with signal
crossings for bicycles and for
pedestrians.

Thousands of potholes fixed, roads
• By Susan Sandys
ALMOST 4000
potholes were fixed on
Selwyn roads in the
last financial year.
The district council
also resealed 44km
of roads, completed
9087km of grading
on unsealed roads,
and 3.2km of footpath
extensions.
The facts and figures
feature in the district
council’s summary of
work during 2021, and
in the 2020/2021 financial
year to June 30.
Roading projects in the
financial year also included the
continued construction
of two major new
roundabouts – at the
Springs Rd/Marshs Rd
and Shands Rd/Blakes
Rd intersections, to be
completed this year in
November.
Mayor Sam
Broughton said 2021
had been a year of major
milestones, including
completing big community
infrastructure projects
which had come to fruition after
years of careful planning and
hard work.
“All of these support the

of 4.8 per cent.
• Residential building consents
set new records, with 2916 building
consents issued altogether,

• The district council had

Majority of
staff fully
vaccinated
• From page 1
The district council employs
about 480 people. It is reviewing
feedback from staff after consulting
on its vaccination mandate
proposal.
It comes as the city council
introduces a mandate for its 2791
staff.
Washington said currently
all of the district council’s staff
required to be vaccinated under
the Government’s Covid-19 vaccination
health order were fully
vaccinated, and all of the senior
management team were fully vaccinated.
In addition, a recent voluntary
survey among staff based at facilities
where the district council was
not currently requiring full vaccination,
indicated the majority
were fully vaccinated.
“For roles where vaccination
is required and a staff member
declines and does not have an
exemption, we will work with
those staff to consider options for
them,” Washington said.
This would include alternative
working arrangements, modified
duties, redeployment or a period
of leave. Staff members ending
employment with the district
council would be a last case
scenario, “only where no other
arrangement can be reached.”

A LINCOLN resident was
shocked to witness a teenager
jumping on a live eel on the
ground at the Liffey Stream.
The woman said it appeared
the youth, who was in a group
of three, had fished the eel out
of the area and he was trying to
kill it.
The woman was taking her dog
for a walk along the stream last
Tuesday, in an area adjoining the
Lincoln Medical Centre grounds
on Kildare Tce, when she came
across the incident.
It appeared the eel, about 50cm
long, was in distress as the youth,
aged about 19, alternatively
picked it up, dropped it onto the
ground and jumped on it. He
was with two teenage girls, one
of whom appeared upset at his
actions.
The woman yelled at the group
to put the eel back. At first the
young man laughed it off, but
some moments later she noticed
him return it to the water.
“It was pretty awful, to experience
some cruelty to an animal
like that,” the woman said.
The woman posted her experience
on the Facebook Lincoln
NZ Community Page to raise
awareness. She described the
youth as wearing a “stupid
pirate-style hat.’’
Commenters were horrified
and some called for the incident
to be reported to the correct
authorities.
District council group
manager property Douglas
Marshall said the behaviour
witnessed by the woman was
unacceptable.
“Eels are a precious native species
and we’re lucky in Lincoln
to have a place where people can
see them up close. We would

creatures,” Marshall said.
In spring, the district council
put signs up at the L11 River in
Lincoln after teenagers fished
and harassed eels there.
About 20 tame longfin eels,
protected by the district council’s
parks and reserves by-law and
also the Reserves Act, raise their
heads out of the water to take
food from people’s hands.
But teenagers had been seen by
residents trying to hurt the eels.
Marshall said anyone witnessing
such behaviour should

An SPCA spokeswoman
said in addition animal cruelty

can be reported to the SPCA’s

she said.

behaviour.”
The extensive network
of spring-fed streams and
waterways, which were
tributaries to Te Waihora Lake
Ellesmere, were important
habitat for longfin and
shortfin eels and other native
fish.
“A range of work is under
way to raise awareness of the
value of these waterways and
how they can be enhanced
for tuna and other species.”
He said the threatened
longfin eel was only found
in New Zealand. They lived
for up to 100 years and only
bred once at the end of their
life. When ready to breed,
they left New Zealand and
swam to the sub-tropical
Pacific Ocean to spawn.
“The longfin eel in
particular faces a range of
threats including habitat loss,
dams and culverts affecting
migration paths, and
pollution,’’ Alexander said.

Big fish and good
river conditions
lure salmon anglers
• From page 1
“We have a lot of big fish,
which is really impressive,”
Singh said.
About 30 people were registered
for the competition, which
would run until April 30. Just
one entry per person is permitted,
and only about five people
have so far weighed in their
catches, with the peak of the
season not until next month.
McMillan agreed it was fantastic
to see plenty of big salmon
around.
“The last eight to 10 years
of salmon fishing has been
very, very tough in the Rakaia
River, but to see the number of
fish we have seen and the size of
them has been good,” McMillan
said.
He had been “absolutely
rapt” to catch the biggest fish
he had landed since 2013,
which was hooked on a cold,
overcast and windy afternoon.
He was holidaying at the north
Rakaia huts with wife Vicki
and his two daughters when he
decided to pop out and take the
family pet labrador Ferg fishing
with him.
After jetboating upstream he
cast his rod from the riverbank.
“The fight and the thrill of
getting the biggest fish I have
caught in a number of years
was well worth the cold hands,”
McMillan said.
He was not confident of winning
the Southbridge Hotel
competition.
“I’m not thinking it’s a done
deal, because there’s plenty of the
season to go.”
Meanwhile, Fish and Game
said it was too early to confirm
anecdotal reports from anglers
of the best start to the season in
10 years.
North Canterbury Fish and
Game Council spokesman Richie
Cosgrove said the Rakaia had
enjoyed good river conditions
so far this season, and salmon
generally ran there earlier than
the Waimakariri River.
“There’s certainly a lot of activity
down there at the moment,”
Cosgrove said, referring to
anglers converging on the river’s
two mouths and lagoon area.
Set against a backdrop of a
declining fishery, there is a new
bag limit on sea-run salmon season
in force this season. Anglers
are restricted to just two for the
whole season, compared to one
salmon each day last season.
Save money on your water rates, help your
garden and help keep water flowing without
restrictions this summer.
Top tips for using your water sense:
· Use a watering can or hand-held hose instead of a sprinkler
· Avoid unnecessary water use during peak demand times
to help maintain water pressure for everyone
Don’t irrigate between 6–9am or 4–9pm daily
Check weather conditions before watering
Don’t water during the middle of the day or in hot
conditions – a cooler overcast day is best

Family’s bid to keep beaches safe
Rolleston’s Cullen
family are well known
in surf lifesaving
circles. Reporter Emily
Moorhouse catches up
with them
KIRSTY CULLEN has been a
member of the New Brighton
Surf Life Saving Club for a
decade and is yet to face a dull
day.
Since joining she has tried her
hand at several different roles,
helped more than 20 people to
become lifeguards and won two
awards for her efforts.
Kirsty, who has lived in Rolleston
for the past 20 years joined
the club along with her husband
Andy and two daughters Ashley
and Phie in 2012 in a bid to give
her girls more knowledge on
safety in the water as they were
learning to surf.
“At the time they were budding
young little surfers following us,”
Kirsty said.
“We thought heck they’re really
out there in the water and
they don’t really know much
except for on their surf boards.”
Kirsty loved the club from the
beginning and it wasn’t long
before regular Sunday sessions
turned into taking on a volunteer
lifeguard role, also gaining her
inflatable rescue boat qualifications.
Kirsty’s family followed
suit with Andy and her eldest
daughter Ashley qualifying as
lifeguards in 2015.
Soon, the whole family was on
patrol together when youngest
daughter Phie became a lifeguard
in 2018.
The family became known as
the “Cullen patrol” and Kirsty
said it sometimes felt like they
were just hanging out at the
beach together.
“I was really proud,” she said.
“It is a nice combo having the
family at the beach.”
During 2018 she tried her hand
at a few roles, gaining patrol
captain and surf official qualifications
as well as becoming a
lifeguard instructor when the
club needed one.
She noticed the club was
stretched and didn’t have enough
people to get lifeguards qualified
so she was more than happy to
fill the gap.
“For me it just became a
no-brainer because there were
these juniors coming through
who were so excited about wanting
to become a lifeguard so I
guess I just showed some interest
in wanting to do that,” she said.
Kirsty proved successful in her
position as an instructor, helping
more than 20 lifeguards qualify
before taking up boarding and
becoming the junior board
coach.
At the beginning of the
2018/19 summer season she
moved on to the role of junior
surf co-ordinator, a role that
she said was pretty big but very
fulfilling.
And if that wasn’t enough,
Kirsty also became a patrol
captain for one of the five patrol
groups at the club.
“I didn’t do it alone, but it was
my job to run and oversee the
whole junior programme,” she
said.
“I’m definitely not the only
one who gives up a lot of time.
There are people out there just
like me.”
While she said it was a team
effort to run a patrol group, each
lifeguard was responsible for
themselves.
“At the end of the day, every
single lifeguard no matter what
age or experience are still trained
to spot a person in trouble and to
be able to rescue and resuscitate
if necessary.”
In 2019 Kirsty took up surf
row boating, a skill that she said
took a bit of getting the hang of.
“I’ll love my crew forever for
being so patient and tolerant,”
she said.
That was the same crew that
went on to compete in the 2020
Surf Life Saving Nationals in
Gisborne, medalling in masters,
and making semis and finals for
the short and long courses.
“I think we surprised a lot of
people,” Kirsty said.
“Out of 11 crews we were the
only one from the South Island.”
Throughout her time with the
club she has won district instructor
of the year award in 2020
and volunteer of the year award
in 2021 but for her it was never
about prizes.
“I’ve never done anything
I’ve done to gain recognition or
awards,” she said.
“I’ve only done it to gain competence.”
Kirsty’s favourite part of the
job was seeing people achieve
their goals and overcome obstacles.
“You might have a sevenyear-old
who at the start of the
summer was way too scared to
put their head under or even go
out past ankle depth and here
they are diving under waves
quite happily, I mean that’s
massive.”
Kirsty said she feels very lucky
to be part of such a great crew
and even when they’re all tired
and a bit overstretched it’s reassuring
to know that they’ve got
each other’s backs.
“The tagline that goes with
surf lifesaving is ‘in it for life’
well I may have started late, but
the phrase is so true. I’ve joined
an amazing crew.’’

Organic farmers’
dream to regenerate river is a reality
LEESTON organic farmers
Dominque Schacherer and
Logan Kerr have started to create
their dream of regenerating part
of the Irwell River thanks to a
chance meeting.
“When we moved here over a
year ago, we had a dream of regenerating
the river, but starting
the project by ourselves felt really
overwhelming,” said Schacherer.
They then
ran into
Ellesmere
Sustainable
Agriculture
chairman Tim
Chamberlain.
“So we were
really excited
Tim
Chamberlain
when we heard
from Tim
about Project
Tinaku, which supports farmers
to regenerate the riverbanks and
it all happened really quickly.”
Tinaku is the flagship project
of ESAI, which secured funding
through the Jobs for Nature
initiative from the Ministry for
Primary Industries to help farmers
regenerate their waterways
and create employment and
education opportunities in the
district.
Project lead David Hewson
and project co-ordinator Johanna
Blakely visited the farm and
developed a plan for two distinct
sites, one along the river and one
around a natural backwater, with
suitable native planting species.
“By having two different types
of sites, we were able to create
a range of wildlife habitats and
maximise the functions of the
plantings, such as shading the
waterway, stabilising the banks,
and filtering any run-off,” said
Blakely.
Before the planting started
in spring, Kerr, Schacherer and
their team put in the hard yards
clearing the sites of overgrown
willows, poplars and blackberry
in preparation for planting.
Project Tinaku contractors
then came in to prepare the sites
by removing grass and other
herbaceous weeds in the areas
directly around where each plant
would go.
“Because it is an organic farm,
this was done manually rather

than with sprays,” said Blakely.
In September and October, the
contractors planted 1600 native
plants at the site, lining 250m
of the river’s edge and covering
a total area of 0.4ha, including
0.1ha of re-established wetlands.
“We were not expecting it to
get this far really quickly, which
we are pretty stoked about,”
said Schacherer. Kerr said it
would have been difficult for a
new business to pump a lot its
own money into this project,
and it would have been difficult
to make such a big head start
without the financial boost from
the project.
“To get something established
gives us a lot of confidence to
continue by ourselves,” said
Kerr.
The project Tinaku has had
“huge benefits for the Ellesmere
region,” said Kerr.
“It’s great to see that it is
not a government-directed
programme, but local people
taking initiatives themselves
to make this happen, which is
awesome.”
The project contributed
$17,500 to the streamside organic
planting project.
Landowners are required to
top up this amount with at least
25 per cent of either cash or
in-kind contributions, such as
fencing.
Schacherer and
Kerr’s contribution has been
to carry out site clearance ,
including many hours of clearing
blackberry, felling willows and
other exotic weed trees and
mulching.
For Tinaku projects to date,
the landowner contribution has
averaged 33 per cent of the total
project value.

Robertson’s rural well-being talk
‘Lean On A
Gate, Talk
To A Mate’
campaign
also popular
MAKE SURE you have someone
to talk to when life gets tough.
That was the key message from
Crusaders coach Scott Robertson
and a variety of rural mental
health advocates at a packed
gathering of the Ellesmere farming
community on Wednesday.
Ellesmere Sustainable Agriculture,
with support from
the Ministry for Primary
Industries, invited its members
and community to listen to four
incredible speakers sharing their
experiences around leadership,
stress, anxiety and depression
and the strategies to cope with
the pressures life creates in rural
communities.
A capacity crowd of nearly 100
farmers, their families and their
neighbours were captivated by
Robertson sharing some of the
secrets of the culture that created
the Crusaders dynasty, including
their methods to handle setbacks
and stress, which according to
Robertson apply to both the
rugby field as well as the farm.
Robertson explained how he
built his coaching career on doing
the hard yards, learning from
others who have gone before him
and building a support group he
can lean back on.
He said that earlier in his
career he used former Canterbury
coach Rob Penney as his
sounding board and these days
gets on the phone with former
Crusaders coach Robbie Deans
for mentoring.
“You always need to have a
plan or a person to call when
things get difficult,” Robertson
told the audience at the Lakeside
Soldiers Memorial Hall near
Leeston.
He explained that each person
responds differently to adversity.
“Some players get angry, some
get quiet and some withdraw,”
said Robertson who stressed
how important it was for all of us
to recognise and understand how
we react to stress and respond
accordingly.
“Instead of withdrawing or
getting angry, it is better to take
action. Talk to someone, get
a team around you, stay connected.
If you stay connected,
you can stay on course.”
After answering questions
about rugby as well as mental
health, the coach handed the
floor to three other speakers who
each support the rural community
and their mental health.
Geoff Spark, a supporter of the
Farmstrong (www.farmstrong.
co.nz) movement shared his
personal tale of dealing with
incredible stress after 2500 cattle
were culled due to Mycoplasma
bovis.
High-profile rural sports MC
and commentator Craig ‘Wiggy’
Wiggins then spoke about the
unexpected demand for a weekly
drop-in zoom call he started for
farmers during the first Covid
lockdown.
“Lockdown shut the front gate
and anxiety levels went through
the roof,” said Wiggins.
The weekly online gathering
evolved in a national campaign

to encourage farmers to open up
and share their worries.
Wiggins said that the ‘Lean
On A Gate, Talk To A Mate’
campaign aims to recreate some
of the traditional opportunities
when farmers used to connect
at the saleyards or in the pub,
which may not be happening as
often these days.
He explained that when people
get down, they struggle to remember
the good times.
“So it’s important to connect
to someone from the past, so
you can remember those happy
memories.”
The final speaker of the evening,
Elle Perriam, spoke about
her personal journey of depression
after her partner took his
own life, and trying everything
“to get rid of the pain”.
She explained how the depression
eventually helped her
to understand the mindset of
people considering taking their
own lives and helped to create
Will To Live New Zealand (www.
willtolivenz.com), which helps
farmers with their mental health
struggles.
Perriam, who grew up in
Haast, but now lives in Leeston,
has reached over 15,000 farmers
through her Rural Change
Programme in recent months
and has raised funding for farmers
to access private counselling,
instead of waiting for months
through the public health system.
She encouraged all farmers
to reach out if they wanted to
improve their well-being, even
those who don’t have urgent
challenges.
ESAI event organiser Jo Fearn
said the night had been a huge
success and the ESAI team were
stoked with the big turnout.
“Mental health is one of the
biggest challenges in the rural
sector and creating a night like
this to learn and to connect with
your neighbours is incredibly
important.”

Winter sport club’s colourful past
Picnic
planned at
top hut of
Mt Olympus
• By Susan Sandys
LONG-TIME members of
Windwhistle Winter Sports Club
will reminisce about the club’s
early days at a skifield picnic on
Sunday.
The club turns 90 this
year, and is starting a year
of celebrations by inviting
members, past members and the
public to its birthday picnic at
the Mt Olympus top hut.
The club was established as
a Lake Ida ice skating group in
1932, before members turned
their dream of a establishing a
ski area into reality in the 1950s.
Organiser Karen Meares
said she had fond memories of
learning to ski there with her
late father Bruce Jessep, who
was involved in the skifield’s
establishment.
“My earliest experience is the
comradeship and all the friends
that we made, right from Lake
Coleridge down to Hororata,”
Meares said.
In her father’s memoirs, Jessep
recalled the investigations into
establishing the ski area began as
early as 1949. He said Ken Hall
and fellow members of the club
decided the Mt Olympus basin
was a good place for a skifield.
He recalled a trip with pack
horses in 1954, taking A-frame
pipes and the first rope, for a ski
tow, into the basin.
That year a road was
constructed, this being “marred
by the sad loss” of Windwhistle
farmer Hugh Richards while
blasting rocks around the bluffs.
By 1956 a new top hut was
built.
Today there are four top
tows, and the top hut has been
extended to become a modern
facility accommodating about 50
people.
RICH HISTORY: Karen Meares delves into some of the
skifield’s old visitor books.
Meares said the hard work and
community spirit of generations
of families pulling together
over the years had created the
fantastic facility that is the Mt
Olympus skfiield today.
While it did not have the
luxury of groomed slopes that
commercial skifields had,
members had the thrill of staying
on the snow and amazing
conditions when the snow was
good.
“You can put your skis on and
ski over to the tow. It’s a great
little area for children to learn
how to ski, the learners tow is
right there in front of the top hut.
You can get beautiful powder
snow and beautiful spring snow.”
The skifield, dubbed the
playground of the gods, was also
a great place to be in summer,
and Meares was looking forward
to welcoming people at the
picnic on Sunday.
“Mt Olympus is a special
place, winter or summer,”
Meares said.
Visitors will also be able to see
repairs to the road which was
damaged in the May floods last
year.
Four-wheel-drive vehicles are
needed to access the top hut. Tea
and coffee will be provided, but
visitors will need to take their

No Butts about it – David makes the call
• By Dave Di Somma
FOR 40 years David Butt has
been either driving or training
winners. But not for much
longer.
The 57-year-old officially
declared he’d driven his last race
when Masterly made it two wins
from two starts at Westport on
December 28.
Now he’s decided to not renew
his trainer’s licence as well.
The husband and wife combo
of David and Catherine Butt
have trained 740 winners from
2002, with David adding another
99 on his own account from 1981
to 2001.
“Cath and I will finish up the
training this season,” he said.
They also won three New
Zealand training premierships -
2004, 2006 and 2007.
Their decision to step away
is not a big surprise, given they
have massively scaled back their
involvement in recent years.
For instance, in 2009 they had
574 starts. In the elongated 2020-
21 season that number was just
21, with two winners (Roll With
Eunice and Minstrel).
Butt had only eight drives in
that time, compared to his busiest
year, 2002, when he had 553
drives and 86 wins.
His health has been a key
factor for the change. He has
suffered from vertigo for the past
six or so years.
“There’s a lot of dizziness, it’s
always there.They can’t fix it but
over the years it’s got less and
less,” he said.
Fittingly his last drive and last
win was with a horse trained by
his cousin, Paul Nairn, who’s acknowledged
as a master trainer
of trotters.
“We bred him (Masterly) and
hoped to go out with a win, so it
worked out good,” said Butt.
The Butt/Nairn partnership
has been a formidable one over
the years, highlighted by multiple
Group One winning trotters
Call Me Now and Stig but also
including the likes of Enthusiast
and Above The Stars.
Of the pacers he’d driven,
Bondy (23 wins from 56) and Pay
Me Christian (12 from 32) were
two that stood out.
As a driver, he finishes with
1141 wins which puts him 20th
on the all-time winners’ list. His
first winning drive was with
Roger at Forbury Park in 1983.
Just as Butt followed his father
TIME CALLED:
David Butt,
pictured with
wife Catherine,
has decided
to retire from
driving and
training. Right:
Butt with Stig
after winning the
2008 Dominion
Handicap.
Robin and grandfathers, and
harness racing legends Wes Butt
and Jack Litten into the sport, he
reckons the time has come for
the next generation to take over.
“We will still work the young
ones, but then they will go to
Bob and he’ll race them.”
David and Catherine’s son Bob
is already an established trainerdriver
in his own right. He’s had
good success of late with horses
like Kiwi X Factor, Socrates,
Gold Chain and Phoebe Onyx,
and Group One success in 2020
with Heavyweight Hero in the
New Zealand Trotting Free For
All on New Zealand Cup day.
Home for the Butts is a huge
breeding, training and racing
operation based at Woodend
beach.
After thinking that beach
training would be the best way
forward the Butts moved there
from West Melton 22 years ago.
They started off with a 12ha
block. Since then the property
has expanded to 93ha.
Woodend has become a
harness racing hub, home to
the likes of John and Jenna
Dunn, Greg and Nina Hope,
Regan Todd and Matt Purvis,
with the Butts leasing out
paddocks and stables to a
number of trainers.
And the Butts say their
success can be traced back to one
horse.
“Dartaway was the horse
that changed things for us,” said
Butt.

to finish up
The son of Holmes Hanover
turned into their stable star, winning
10 from 30 starts. Four of
them were in 2000 when he was a
four-year-old, the remaining six
were in 2001. It was the stable’s
big break. As well as winning
races the success also attracted
new clients and new horses.
“He was the one that got us
going.”
Butt is now moving on – with
just one regret.
“It would have been nice to win
a New Zealand Cup.”
On five occasions he drove
in the biggest race of them all.
He finished third with It’s Ella
behind winner Flashing Red
in 2006 and fourth with Under
Cover Lover in Yulestar’s then
race record win in 2000 (3:59.1).
“The only way I can win it now
is an owner . . . and that’s a bit
unlikely,” he quipped.
“A quieter life” without the
pressures of race day now beckons
but they are far from being
put out to pasture.
“The horses will go to Bob’s
stable, but what with running
the farm, and with six or seven
broodmares – there’s still plenty
to do.” – Harness Racing News

IDLE STUARTIA won her third
race of the week for Weedons
trainer Rodger Austin when
victorious in the Graham Neill
Memorial Trotting Cup at
Waterlea Raceway on Sunday.
It adds to her win at the same
venue on Friday and victory at
Nelson last Sunday, which came
after placing at the same venue
just two days earlier.
Austin was over the moon
with the result and admitted
he didn’t expect to see the 2-1/2
length winning performance
from his mare on Sunday.
“I was a wee bit surprised,”
Austin said.
“She had gone up a class and
she was off 10m. I didn’t think
the 2800m would suit her, but
she is in that zone and the old
trotters, once they get in there,
they are pretty hard to beat.
“I am stoked, she has done
really well, and Blair (Orange)
has driven her really well every
start too.”
With three wins and a placing
from her four starts at the top
of the South Island, Austin said
the daughter of Superfast Stuart
has enjoyed the trip away from
home.
“I think she just likes being
away, just like her trainer and
owner, getting away from home
and having a bit of a holiday,” he
quipped.
Austin doesn’t have any immediate
plans with his in-form
mare but is looking forward to
stepping her back out closer to
home.
“We will just go home and
reassess everything because she
has jumped quite a few points
now so we are going to have to
go through the motions a wee
bit. We will see what she does,”
he said.

IN HER STRIDE: Idle Stuartia won three races in quick
succession for Weedons trainer Rodger Austin.
Meanwhile, Austin said
stablemate BJ Lindenny didn’t
appreciate the trip on Sunday
when finishing sixth to Idle
Stuartia.
“The 2800m didn’t suit him
and I think the run the first
day might have taken it out
of him a wee bit because he
didn’t eat up very well after the
race, but I wasn’t too worried,”
Austin said.
“I think he will bounce back
pretty well when he gets back to
a mile and a quarter.”

BACK SCHOOL
TO
Back to school – make
it fun and positive
When it comes to the end of the holidays,
there are those children who can’t wait
to get back to school and there are those
children who are not quite so keen. The
following are some tips and ideas to help
make the transition easier.
Know the start date
It may seem like a no-brainer, but make
sure you know the date your child is due
back to school. It varies from school to
school so check on the school’s website or
ring the office.
Talk about going back to school
Start talking to your child about going
back to school. Ask them how they’re
feeling – what they’re looking forward to
and what they’re worried about. Explain
that it’s normal to feel different emotions
like worry and excitement at the same
time. Model a positive attitude about going
back to help your child feel good.
Start waking up earlier
If your kids have been going to bed later
and waking up later than usual during the
holidays, it will be a shock to the system
if they suddenly have to get up early. Start
waking them up earlier about a week or so
before school goes back so they get used to
early starts.
Practise walking/catching
public transport
If your child is starting a new school,
practice walking there or catching public
transport so that they know where to go
and what to do.
Be uniform ready
Check you have the correct uniform if
your child is wearing one for the first time.
If they already have a uniform, make sure
you know where it is, check it’s clean and
that it still fits (kids can have big growth
spurts over the summer break). Check the
traffic light map to find out the setting for
your region. If you are at red, all children
from years 4–13 will need to wear a mask
in the classroom and on buses.
Have your stationery ready
Check you have all the necessary
stationery and that it’s labelled with your
child’s name.
Prepare lunches the night
before
Make sure you have lunchboxes and drink
bottles ready and labelled. Prepare their
lunchboxes the night before to make the
morning run more smoothly. Remember
that schools in Aotearoa New Zealand
encourage water (or nonfat milk) only,
so check this out with the school before
filling drink bottles for your tamariki.
Pack bags the night before
Pack schoolbags the night before to make
sure you have everything ready that you
need. Many schools require a sunhat and
sunblock in the first term so have those
things ready.
Get up earlier than you
normally would
Get up 10 to 15 minutes earlier than you
usually would to allow time for a healthy
breakfast and for any unforeseen issues.
Having more time to get ready helps
reduce stress levels.
Take a deep breath
The first few days or weeks back can be
a bit stressful for everyone. It can take a
while to get back into the swing of things,
especially if you add in after-school
activities. So, take a deep breath if it’s all
too much and remember that tomorrow is
a new day!

Warm welcome
guaranteed at new school
With aroha as its overarching value, a warm
welcome is guaranteed when an amazing
new primary school, Te Rōhutu Whio, opens
its doors in February.
Located at the end of Kate Sheppard Drive
in east Rolleston, the phrase “love to the
people, love to the land, love to the language”
is the basis for everything the school stands
for says principal Kate Morgan.
“Our passionate and dedicated team are
excited to be here. Te Rōhutu Whio is a very
special place to learn. From our hearts to
yours we welcome you and your whanau
with open arms.”
The name Te Rōhutu Whio was gifted by
the local runanga. The school will initially
have around 100 learners and has the
capacity to grow to have 470 students.
The learning is based around three hubs
- Auraki (English), Reorua (Bi-lingual)
and Hangarau (Technology) – which
is an exciting new concept. In Auraki
students will received personalised learning
individually with teachers. “Their passions
and interests will be explored one-onone
and the teachers will then design the
learning programme for each child,” says
Kate.
The Reorua hub will teach in Maōri and
English and is open to students outside of
the school zone – if they meet the criteria
- while other local primary schools will be
able to access the Hangarau hub for their
technology classes.
Another important feature is the whanau
learning where classes have mixed ages and
each child is taught at their own learning
level which gives opportunities for extending
learning as well as reinforcing concepts for
those who need it.
With a focus on hauora (wellbeing) the
team of 16 staff pride themselves on creating
a nurturing and enjoyable place to learn. A
party room is just one feature of the school
where learners and teachers can celebrate
achievements, birthdays or any other
occasion. “We wanted to make the school
friendly and welcoming so it feels like a
second home to our pupils.”
Constructed on a 30,000m 2 block, the
school’s four new buildings take up
6,795m 2 of the site while the remaining area
currently has carparking, a sports field and
landscaping.
Kate and the team are looking forward to
welcoming their new learners. Personalised
learning meetings are being held on 2 and
3 February 2022 and Te Rōhutu Whio will
opening on Friday 4 February with a mihi
whakatau.
Six easy lunch
box hacks
Keep lunches easy and fun and
encourage healthy eating right from the
start with these easy hacks…
1. Keep lunches cold with a flat icepack
– soak a dish sponge in cold water,
squeeze out excess water, place in a zip
lock bag and pop in the freezer – takes
up very little space in the lunch box and
helps to keep lunches cool in summer.
2. Help your children to make their own
individual single serve snacks using small
zip lock bags and their favourite healthy
snacks – make them a week ahead.
3. Instead of buying juice boxes, buy
each child a leak proof drink container
and fill with a combination of water and
fruit juice – save money by buying a
two litre bottle of juice and dilute for a
healthier option.
4. Divide lunch boxes up with yummy
finger foods placed in paper muffin liners
to keep separate – crackers, meat, fruit,
veggies and cheese.
5. Use cookie cutters to make fun
shaped sandwiches – get the children
to help out and choose their favourite
shapes and fillings.
6. Encourage children to make their
own lunches the night before – have a
store of chopped veggies, fruit, cheese,
snack biscuits, etc to make it easy – make
a game of it to see who can create the
most healthy or fun lunch.
Over 11,500 learners
on the move in 2022
Over 11,500 Selwyn learners will be
travelling back to school soon – that’s
nearly 20% of our population out and
about and on the move.
Selwyn School Road Safety Co-ordinator
Stephanie Hautler is asking everyone
to keep their eyes peeled for our young
people heading back to school by foot and
on wheels. “A lot of our little people will
be really distracted when heading back to
school with the excitement of seeing their
friends and meeting new teachers, so it’s
important to slow down and be alert when
driving,” says Mrs Hautler.
With the more settled weather, it’s a
great opportunity to get active with your
child. If you are pushed for time, park
your car a block back from school so your
child can still get the scooting or walking
experience. It is good for them both
physically and mentally, develops their
road safety skills and helps with overall
congestion at the school gate.
“Road safety awareness is a vital life
skill and starts developing when you are
young. Take every opportunity to educate
children on how to safely cross a road
using their eyes and ears,” Mrs Hautler
says. “A fluro yellow vest makes your child
visible in poor weather as well as bright
sun. Most schools have them available for
free or a small cost and they really make a
difference.”
School travel safety tips:
• Be bright be seen, ask your school for a
safety vest.
• Tackle the routes together talking about
sneaky driveways and blind corners.
• Get out and active together to reduce
the chaos at the school gate.
• Wear your helmets, this goes for
caregivers too, young people are watching
you!
Road safety resources for parents
and children are available from
Selwyn District Council by emailing
roadsafety@selwyn.govt.nz or phoning

New campus for
Rolleston in 2025
A second Rolleston College campus will
accommodate population growth in one
of the country’s fastest growing areas.
“On the 09 December the Government
announced it had bought land for a
second Rolleston College campus to
accommodate population growth,” says
Nancy Bell, Hautū (Leader) Te Tai Runga
(South).
The site is on the corner of Springston
Rolleston Road and Selwyn Road, about
2km from where Rolleston College is now.
A second campus was the preferred
option following two rounds of
community consultation, and is expected
to open in 2025.
The next steps are that the Ministry
of Education will work with Rolleston
College to commence the Education Brief
process, which will inform the design
and build of the new Rolleston College
campus.
“The college will engage further with their
community as we progress this project.”

Lincoln High School
Year 9 Student
I enjoy coming to Lincoln High School
because of the opportunities that are
offered here. There is so much variety in
the subjects and extracurriculars you can
take part in, and everyone can participate
in something that showcases their
strengths or give something completely
new a try.
Year 10 Student
From the 2 years that I have been at
Lincoln High School I have attended
numerous educational programs
and competed in various sporting
competitions. From these events I have
learned valuable lessons and made lifelong
friends.
Year 11 Student
What I love most about Lincoln
High School is its friendly and caring
atmosphere. I have dyslexia and I was also
briefly in a wheelchair due to an injury but
the teachers have always been supportive,
finding ways to help me succeed through
all obstacles.
Year 12 Student
Something that Lincoln High School
does well is its way of including
everyone. Everyone at our school is so
accepting in a way that I haven’t seen
anywhere else, and it helps bring not
just our school together, but the entire
community together.
Year 13 Student
Lincoln High School offers many
amazing opportunities which allows
students to develop in all aspects of
their lives. There truly is something to
suit everyone, optional subjects cover
a variety of choices and also provide
further enrichment and discovery such as
travelling overseas to various countries.
There are also leadership, sports and art
positions which encourages students to
develop a range of interpersonal skills.
The school tikanga has a huge influence
on the school community. Students,
teachers and staff all strive to represent
these to make Lincoln a safe, inclusive
and enjoyable environment.

GARDENING 31
Don’t let summer become a challenge
BOTH JANUARY and February
are challenging months in
the home garden – hot, dry
conditions are often the norm
and present problems for most
gardeners.
On a positive note, there are
plenty of vegetables to harvest
and stone fruit to be picked.
AS WE MOVE through summer,
keep the garden looking fresh for
your outdoor enjoyment.
1. Conserve water – While we
may not reach Australian levels of urgency
about water shortages, the ecomessages
are just going to get tougher
from now on. Take a good look at
how you use water in your garden
and make some plans. This might be
the year you invest in a rainwater tank
to capture all that free wet stuff, and
to review the sprinkler system timing
and spacing (so you don’t waste water
spraying paths and so forth). Whatever
your method, be sparing with the
frequency of watering – established
plants need only 30min of water once
or twice a week, vegetables more.
Houseplants
January is a difficult month for
houseplants, as many people head
off for the holidays. Possibly this
year, with Covid19 restrictions
differing by region, there will be
more people at home to care for
their houseplants. It is important
to understand the needs of your
houseplants; water-wise, preferred
light conditions, and their
nutritional requirements.
Clean leaves with a moist
sponge and remove any dead
leaves or finished flowers. If you
are looking for plants to purchase,
Garden centres stock a wide
range of houseplants that will
thrive in a variety of positions
in your home. Remember the
bathroom, with its high humidity
can revive ailing houseplants, or
simply, a place to grow lush, leafy
varieties.
Vegetable garden
Almost all summer vegetables
can be harvested in January including
beans, carrots, eggplants,
beetroot, cucumbers, courgettes,
peas, potatoes, radish, and sweetcorn.
Keep your vegetable garden’s
productivity going through
till the end of summer with
succession planting – regularly
plant fast maturing vegetables like
dwarf beans, lettuce, and radish.
Other long-term maintenance
should include regular watering,
weeding, mulching and adding
additional compost for some
vegetables.
Flowering annuals
As summer flowering annuals
relish the heat of summer,
January is an excellent month for
these plants, providing dazzling
displays of flowers. Regular maintenance
includes, ‘dead-heading’,
weeding, watering and in some
2. Mulch to save work –
Mulch is the instant makeover. It suppresses
weeds, makes a tired garden
look fresh and slows water evaporation.
But only apply it once the soil
is good and wet, as otherwise it will
not help your plants. Leave breathing
room around trunks and shrubs to
avoid fungus.
3. Plant locally – Native plants
(from your part of the country) are
perfectly adapted to your local sun,
rain and wind conditions, so they look
after themselves. The huge fashion
for natives is not just about looks, it is
about reducing hard work.
4. Mow lightly – In the summer
lawns do best when the grass is
longer (about 25-30mm). The soil
instances, replanting. Summer
flowering annuals to plant include
alyssum, cornflower, cosmos,
marigolds, petunias, salvias, poppies,
portulacas, and zinnias.
Strawberries and
raspberries
Strawberry plants will continue
to crop throughout January.
Maintain your weeding, and if
you haven’t done it yet, apply
fresh mulch around the plants
of pea straw or clean crushed
bark. This helps to keep the
strawberries clean, suppresses
weeds and improves soil water
retention.
Raspberry fruiting will taper
off towards the end of the month
and roots are shaded so the lawn does
not get sunburnt and more moisture
is retained.
5. Add water – There is nothing
like water to enhance a garden.
While a full-scale water feature can
get expensive, garden centres now
sell small plug-and-go bubbling water
bowls and sculptures which do not
need elaborate construction.
6. Create shady spots – If your
deck gets the full blaze of sun, look at
creating a secondary area for relaxing
in the heat of the day. Deciduous trees
may take a while to grow, but pergolas
with removable shade sails and market
umbrellas that hang from a wall or
fence are good summer solutions that
can be packed away when you need to.
FREQUENCY:
Spray roses at
the first sign
of pests or
disease.
coinciding with rapid growth of
canes. Prune excess canes and tie
down new season canes that will
provide raspberries next summer.
Fruit trees
Time to start harvesting stone
fruit; apricots, cherries, peaches,
and plums. Always check where
the fruit are on the tree i.e. the age
of the wood, which will provide
an excellent guide for your winter
pruning. The first apples ripen towards
the end of the month. Give
your fruit trees a deep watering
two to three times a week during
the growing season.
Roses
It’s not an easy month for roses.
Humidity means that black spot
and rust become significant problems.
Spray every two weeks to
treat any disease or pests. Continue
to deadhead and a light summer
prune of unwanted growth
can be beneficial and encourage
late summer flowering.
Herbs
As herbs thrive in the heat,
January and February are prolific
months in the herb garden.
Trim regularly to maintain fresh
growth and to prevent flowering.
Plant additional herbs where supply
is short.
Lawns
A challenging time for lawn
maintenance, especially towards
the end of the month. Where possible,
irrigate the lawn, preferably
early morning or at night so that
water doesn’t quickly evaporate.
Note that some grass species are
hardier in hot, dry months and
should be considered if you are
thinking about laying a new lawn
or patching parts of the lawn in
autumn.
Container gardens
Plants growing in containers
can dry out very quickly. Water
your pots two to three times a
week thoroughly, rather than a
sprinkle every night. You may
need to increase frequency when
it is hotter.
Be sparing with the frequency of watering

Tailored shade for
your outdoor area
Every outdoor area is different and
that is why local company Shadecraft can
tailor your shade solution to your exact
requirements.
The company’s wide range of attractive
and affordable products are made in
Canterbury and, with Shadecraft you deal
directly with the person that does the
whole job, from the design and quote, right
through to the installation, says owner Mark
Levey.
“Let us know what your plans are and we
will design a solution that will work and fit
your budget,” says Mark.
Whether for your home, school or
business, Shadecraft can meet all your
weather protection needs in a range of sizes,
styles and colours providing the ultimate in
all-season outdoor living.
Designed and engineered to fit your
lifestyle – that’s the difference you get when
you choose a Shadecraft product.
The company has been operating for 18
years and their business is mostly generated
through word of mouth.
One of Shadecraft’s most sought after
products, Mark says, has been the Eclipse
canopy which offers an outdoor area
protected from all weather conditions, but
still lets in the natural light. These can also
be fitted with drop blinds to fully enclose
the area.
Shade sails are another popular choice
and provide protection from the sun while
also visually enhancing the area and offering
ambiance for those social gatherings.
Other options available from Shadecraft
include carports, umbrellas and louvres.
If you are considering enhancing your
outdoor area for next summer or you
need some advice for what would work in
your space, give Mark a call on 0800 742
332, cell phone 0274 981239 or visit their

Child friendly
decorating ideas
Having children does not mean that you
have to sacrifice enjoying a stylish home. It’s
just a matter of adapting your design ideas
to cater for the ages and stages along the
way.
Some simple adjustments can make a
huge difference whether it is choosing
furniture without sharp edges or opting for
paint types that are easy to clean.
Painting a room is often the cheapest
way to refresh and update your look and
children’s rooms are no exception. Some
companies such as New Zealand-based
Resene has specific ranges for children
featuring bright, bold colours and some
amazing metallic and blackboard options.
Changing up the rooms as your children
grow can be as simple as adding desks,
bean bags, posters or bunting. Or let them
choose their own colour scheme – what can
go wrong?
Purposefully selecting coffee and dining
tables without sharp edges is one way of
reducing injuries – an ottoman makes a
good option for a coffee table - but there are
also other considerations when you have
children such as storage options.
Cupboards with doors are useful for
hiding a whole range of things from toys
and games or containers that can fit under
the bed – or choose a divan that already
has drawers underneath. Using buckets or
boxes with pictures for each type of toy will
assist even the little ones with tidying up.
Children’s artwork can make great costeffective
additions to your décor. Placing
them in similar frames works well or have
them hanging from a bunting using pegs.
Invest in furniture that will cope with
everything that children could possibly
throw at it and maybe stay away from
anything white that could stain easily.
Leather is easy to clean and other child
friendly fabrics include micofibre which
is stain resistant and comes in different
textures. Another option is wool which is
easy to spot clean and it’s less susceptible to
pilling, snagging, and wrinkling than other
fabrics. Slip covers are also a great idea
when you have children.
So with a little thought your décor can be
stylish and child-friendly at the same time.

Irrigation vital in
hot dry weather
Now the hot days of summer are here,
Canterbury home owners will be wanting
to make full use of their outdoor areas to
entertain family and friends, so having
lawns and gardens in tip-top condition will
be a priority.
Freeman Irrigation, a locally owned and
operate company, can provide a range of
cost effective and easy to use automated
options.
The company installs their pipes with
a Mole Plough which provides a no mess
solution to the installation.
“With this ‘invisible’ trencher you
wouldn’t know we have been on your
property within just a couple of weeks,”
says Phil from Freeman Irrigation.
Many irrigation options utilise the
latest technology where sprinklers can
be connected to weather station forecasts
using WiFi so if rain is expected the
amount of water is reduced.
By operating your system remotely, the
flow can be adjusted to suit the conditions,
saving water and money.
“We have a range of smartphone
controllers and rain sensors that can be
fitted to most systems, allowing to have
easy control from anywhere. If you want
to save money and conserve water a good
rain sensor is an affordable solution,” says
Phil.
It is worthwhile to also check any
problems you may have with your
existing irrigation. Some of the basic
problems include clogged sprinklers;
leaking sprinklers and valves; obstructed
sprinklers; leaking/blocked solenoid
valves; overspray onto footpaths, streets
or buildings; design problems; missing
nozzles or pipe leaks and breaks.
Freeman Irrigation provides an extensive
range of irrigation services, not just for
residential homes but also parks, golf
courses, horticultural and viticultural
properties, sub-divisions and commercial
properties.
For more information about Freeman
Irrigation’s maintenance service or
installation of new systems and products
email phil@freemanirrigation.co.nz or
call 0800 22 33 92.

installing pipes on your property.

Useful tips for
hanging artwork
There are several things to consider when
you finally get around to hanging that
artwork that’s been cluttering up the spare
room or are still sitting on the floor
Firstly consider the wall surface. Drywall
is the easiest option as long as you locate a
wall stud as a secure anchor. Plaster has a
tendency to crumble but pre-drilling the
hole in the stud should make it more stable.
A wall anchor is essential for brick walls.
And use a masonry bit on your drill to drill
into mortar, not the actual brick.
Next think about the location that has
maximum impact but is also out of the
direct sunlight to prevent fading. The scale
of your wall and the size of your art will
influence what piece works where. Larger
pieces can look striking on a generous
blank wall, while smaller pieces are often
better suited to more intimate zones like a
hallway or above a desk.
A collection of prints, photos and
paintings can be eye-catching. A mix
of artwork of all different sizes can look
amazing or stick to a theme, for example,
portraits or black and white. The easiest
way to plan your gallery is to use the main
image as a starting point and map it out on
the floor before using tape to mark it out on
the wall.
Getting the height right is a semi-science
and will depend on the size of the wall. The
centre of a framed piece of artwork should
be 145 centimetres (that being the average
human eye level, and the height galleries
and museums use to decide where to hang
pieces).
Mark that height using a pencil, then
measure to find the middle of the wall
(from side to side), and mark where the
two points meet. That’s where the middle of
your artwork should go.
Finally, measure the distance between the
middle of the piece and where it will catch
the nail (either where the wire hits when
bent to bear weight, or where the saw tooth
hanger is and that’s it. Your artwork is now
up for everyone to enjoy.

Own a Peugeot EV in less than 60min
SO YOUR OLD banger has
blown up, or you just feel like it’s
time to get a new car.
The problem could well be
that the vehicle you want is the
victim of the supply issues that
are plaguing most of the new car
distributors and dealerships.
Wait times of months ahead
are pretty much the norm these
days, thanks to a semi-conductor
manufacturing shortage globally
and shipping backlogs because of
the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, there is much hope,
what is labelled a 60-Minute
Commitment by the Armstrong
Motor Group could see you
driving in a premium car – new
or pre-owned – in less than one
hour.
The initiative incorporates the
choice of more than 700 vehicles
from 16 different manufacturers
at all Armstrong dealerships,
the process is both quick and
simplistic.
With many of the elements
needed to make a car ready
for the road available on-line –
registration, insurance, money
transfer or finance options – these
can all be arranged within the
time frame, although a road test
isn’t included in the 60-minute
programme.
The Armstrong Group has cars
ready to go at any given time,
they are groomed and sitting
waiting for customers.
A change of transport could
well see a buyer behind the wheel
of a new Peugeot 208, the series
fully revamped this year and
available now from Armstrong’s
Peugeot. This evaluation focuses
on the e-208, its nomenclature
pointing to electric; yes, it’s a full
plug-in model, there is no petrol
engine, just an electric motor and
battery power.
The e-208 lands in the market
at $61,990, as such it easily
qualifies for the Government’s
clean car discount of $8625.
Just like its petrol-powered
counterparts, the e-208 arrives
with a new body shell and
interior. It is state-of-the-art allthrough
with a high percentage
of toggle switches and digitalised
functions. Saying that, it looks
minimalistic, and being so
is intuitive and one quickly
becomes at home as a driver.
The 208 as a series isn’t big, it’s
a cheeky, five-door hatchback
that is as much at ease in the
city commute as it is on a long
highway haul.
However, the e-208 has charging
factors to ponder. Peugeot rate it
with a maximum driving distance
of 348km between charges. It will
take about seven hours to charge
from empty to full on a domestic
supply 7.4kW wallbox, or 28 hours
using a three-pin power cable. If
you have a type 2 cable you can
hook into any of the nationwide
charging ports that are springing
up all over the country. A 30min
COMPACT: The interior of the Peugeot e-208 incorporates a
raft of new-age specification in a minimalistic environment.

boost will give you a zero to 80
per cent charge and you can be on
your way again.
I never used the type 2 cable, I
charged the e-208 overnight from
my garage, the cable, thankfully,
long enough to reach and have
the garage door closed at the
same time.
Driving the e-208 requires little
familiarity, you just hop in, select
D on the drive selector (or R) and
away you go. Of course, there is
very little sound, just a hum from
the motor – much like the sound
you get on a Christchurch tram.
The e-208 is sprightly, although
you do have to remember if you
like quick acceleration that will
lessen the distance you have to
travel between charges. That
aside, a standstill to 100km/h
time of 8.3sec is quite quick,
and when you pull out for that
highway overtake the mid-range
response is forceful – 6sec to
make 120 from 80km/h.
Peugeot rate the e-208 with
100kW and 260Nm, bear in mind
that the latter figure is available
from just 300rpm, power is
instant and with the lightweight
of the car (1455kg) acceleration is
constantly invigorating.
There are also driver-selectable
drive modes, including a sport
option which really livens
accelerator feel.
I drove the e-208 much in
keeping with its design role
– suburb to city commute, as
well as a country excursion to

Darfield. At open road speed the
e-208 sits tight on the road and
imparts little noise, sure there are
wind gushes around the mirrors
and a hum off the tyres, but those
sounds are only exacerbated
by the lack of noise from the
driveline, it is almost silent as you
travel, just a purr from the motor
as speed increases or decreases.
I suffer a little from what you
would call range anxiety so I
didn’t venture far off the beaten
track, but I did travel back to the
city taking in a few tight corners
near Burnham.
Just like the 208, the e variant
has composed handling manners,
it sights well attached to the
road and is remarkably stable in
a corner. Drive is through the
front wheels, but even with the
strong torque rush there is little
to feel in terms of tugging at the
steering wheel, the handling feel
is neutral. A lot of the latter can
be attributed to the wonderful
Michelin tyres, at 205/45 x 17in
there isn’t a lot of rubber on the
road, but steering is accurate and
direct.
It must also be said the e-208
takes on board the engineering
elements that have made Peugeot
the master of balance between
ride comfort and handling
ability. The suspension is supple,
affording a fabulous in-cabin ride.
Comfort for all on board is
paramount and for three in
the rear it isn’t too much of a
squeeze. Those up front have a
lot of new-age specification at
their hands – satellite navigation,
keyless entry and power switch,
ambient lighting, panoramic roof
and radar cruise control. There’s
also leather/suede-type seating
material along with heated front
seats.
The e-208 is also badged GT,
that’s a bold claim but with
the way electric technology is
progressing it could well be a
grand touring model. Any electric
car that has a travelling distance
of over 300km allows you to
tackle a long highway journey
with relative peace of mind.
In recent weeks the Kiddie
family has been travelling a lot in
the old Toyota, it’s a bit of a fuel
guzzler and we are sure noticing
the pain at fill-up with the high
price of petrol at present. We
know we can’t sustain those costs
as I head towards retirement.
It may well be time to head to
Armstrong’s and take up the
60-minute challenge.

Outdoor rooms
Just because an outdoor space doesn’t have
walls, that doesn’t change the basic principles
applied to any design project inside your home.
With a few simple
fundamentals to guide you,
you’ll soon see how easy
it is to create a beautiful
outdoor room you’ll love entertaining
and relaxing in throughout the warm
days and balmy nights of summer.
Key considerations include style,
function, lighting and mood. Remember
that your outdoor room ought to be
an extension of the look you’ve created
within your home, which reflects your
personality and lifestyle.
Focal point
Beginning, as with any room of the
home, a space must always have a focal
point to anchor the space. For some, this
may be a bar or barbeque area, a large
dining table, or a chill-out zone with
couches or loungers.
Outdoor fireplaces are becoming
more and more popular as our living
areas blend seamlessly between indoor
and outdoor entertaining throughout
the changing of the seasons. They can
serve not only a practical purpose of
somewhere to gather around to warm
as the day turns to dusk and the nights
get shorter, an outdoor fire can make
a stunning feature or room divider for
any outdoor living area. Water features,
like a pond with beautiful koi fish, can
also serve as a great outdoor focal point,
creating tranquil environment in which
to relax and unwind in, or create a
meditative Japanese rock garden which
your outdoor area can overlook.
In the zone
If you already have a large terrace or
outdoor area, a blank canvas is a great
place to start. If you have a particularly
large outdoor area, dividing the space
into zones makes for a more functional
and aesthetically pleasing space. You can
do this by using a number of different
elements, such as contrasting flooring
materials or by creating different levels
of decking. However, if you’re after a
seamless indoor/outdoor flow or wish to
create the illusion of more space, use the
same flooring materials indoors and out.
Divisions can also be made with the
clever positioning of furniture. Use
modular seating to create walls and
separate spaces. Plants are a cost effective
and eco-friendly way to create divisions
between zones, and are also an ideal way
to camouflage ugly walls, create privacy
and soften sharp angles. Living walls, an
ever-increasingly popular vertical plant
system, can be either freestanding to
create different outdoor areas and can
be on wheels to easily transform your
outdoor space at a moment’s notice. Play
with height and scale with various
types of planters, whether you use
hanging planters to draw the eye upwards,
or oversized planter pots to add drama.
Go with the flow
Creating a great indoor/outdoor flow is
easily created by opening up your kitchen
with bifold doors or windows to create a
servery or bar area for easy entertaining.
If you are building your home from the
ground up, you may want to design an
outdoor room which lies at the epicentre
of the building, with rooms opening onto
the communal courtyard with bifold
doors.
Function over form
Consider what you intend to use your
outdoor space for. If you don’t plan on
eating outside, there’s no need for a dining
table, but buy some comfortable outdoor
seating instead. If you only intend on
sitting outdoors during the evening,
then don’t waste money on awnings and
umbrellas, and invest the money in an
outdoor fireplace which you will actually
use.
Atmosphere
Create unique and personalised outdoor
decor with textiles and homewares from
your travels or your favourite antique
shop, or make your own shell garlands or
wreaths from beach holidays. String up
fairy lights or lanterns to create a festive
mood in the evenings.

Mini makeover gives
living areas a lift
Don’t let heading into winter give you the
blues. Think of all the things you love about
the cooler seasons and give your home a
mini-makeover to make it the comfortable,
warm and welcoming home you desire.
Revamping your living and dining areas
will give your lived-in spaces a fresh new
feel. Unlike a renovation, a revamp (or
face lift) need not involve a huge financial
outlay. In fact it is an extremely budgetfriendly
way of giving your rooms a new
look as you can add and subtract pieces as
the pay packet allows.
Moving slowly over the next couple of
months is an advantage. If you don’t, after
all, like that bright pink cushion you had
planned to build your new look around,
you can change direction without having
spent too much money. Another advantage
of moving slowly to build your new look is
the time it allows you to hunt for just the
right pieces, or wait for the sales to offer
you bargains. Also have a look around your
home for items you could recover, paint or,
with a little tweaking, find new purpose for.
Start your facelift by deciding what sort of
look you’re going to aim for.
Browse magazines and the internet for
ideas, check paint colour charts for the
latest colour options. Visit furnishing stores
and take note of the different display areas -
how do they balance colour and texture?
Then find an item you would like to
build your new look around. This could
be a treasure you’ve had for a while or
something that you covet and have spotted
in a shop.
Your next step is to sit down with
pencil & paper & plan. List what items
can be changed and how, and what can’t.
Think colour, shades and tones and
complementary colours, think texture,
think pattern, think outside the square.
Think fabric, wood, plastic, old and new.
That comfy old chair doesn’t need to be
replaced.
Buy some furnishing fabric and recover
it (or have it recovered).What items have
other family members put aside because
they no longer need them but they’re ‘too
good to throw out’?
Once you’ve got some sort of plan
mapped out you can start work on creating
your new look.
Spend time browsing the shops to see
what is available in your chosen colour
- candles, photo frames, vases, pot plant
holders, wallpaper, fabric, large items and
small.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Landscaping enhances
new & existing homes
Building in a housing subdivision
invariably means the developer will
require you to submit a landscaping
plan along with your house design, to be
approved before building commences.
Just as important as considering
the features for your home will be
your outdoor setting. Indoor/outdoor
requirements will influence your choice
of house design and how it will be
sited on the section for a sunny yard
and best protection from prevailing
winds like the easterly. Having a second
courtyard area offering shelter from the
north-west wind is also an advantage in
Selwyn.
A well thought out landscape plan
will also incorporate off-street parking
space for vehicles while ensuring your
home is attractive from the street. You
might want to factor in parking for a
caravan, motorhome or extra vehicles as
well as a turning circle for safe turning
and exiting your property (a legal
requirement for back sections).
The developer will only want to see a
landscape outline for the part of your
property which will be on view from the
street.
When choosing the design for your
home, address where you want hard
surfaces (driveway, paths and patios),
lawn, play areas and garden beds so it
is suitably positioned on the section.
Even if not all hard surface areas are
completed at the end of the build,
knowing where they will be located will
be helpful.
If your build is nearing completion,
autumn is a good time to sow grass as
the cooler morning and evening dew
assists growth. As winter descends on
us, ready lawn is a better option at least
at the front of the section, which the
developer will require to be completed
before moving in. Your backyard could
be left until spring (another good time
for seeding a lawn) if you are happy to
put up with the mud over winter.
When selling an existing home,
putting effort into landscaping your
yard could add value by presenting a
good first impression and attracting
buyers.
You need not rip out overgrown
established plants. Selective culling and
pruning can make a huge difference
to the look of a garden. Avoid hacking
everything down low. Instead take out
sprawling branches and thin shoots,
leaving a solid trunk; planting flowers
like lobelia, primula, pansies and
polyanthus underneath for impact. Add
a layer of mulch and spray the lawn
for weeds then follow up with lawn
fertiliser to give a lush green look.
The first thing people see is your
home’s exterior – the cladding, colours
and landscaping. Putting effort into
these features has the potential to add
value to new and existing properties.
A garden need not be masses of work.
Planning and choosing the right plants
for the location and your lifestyle can
create a relatively low maintenance
outdoor setting while enhancing your
home.
Landscaping presents a good first impression, attracting buyers.
Developers require a landscape plan for the street
view of your home before building commences.

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

NEW LISTING
Rolleston 30 Bavaria Drive
King-sized luxury living
A whopping 338sqm in size and positioned on a 1,004sqm section, the property provides exceptional living. To start
with, the huge driveway has designated parking for a boat or caravan, whilst the triple car garaging is certainly the
'icing on the cake'. Then there's the 'dream' kitchen... it is highly spec'd with Corian bench tops, a 90cm freestanding
Electrolux oven, two Bosch dishwashers and an enormous butler's pantry. The main living area is beautiful and
showcases a high cathedral ceiling with skylights and a feature stone wall. There is an adjacent formal lounge which,
in addition to the living room, provides access to the 'al fresco' entertaining area. All four bedrooms are superspacious,
with the master suite boasting a large dressing room. A new job opportunity is taking the vendors away
from their stunning home but, for you, there's now the chance to buy it and enjoy it as they have.
