Desperate bid to<br />
rescue trapped driver<br />
A LINCOLN man felt a sense of<br />
dread as he ran to a car which had just<br />
crashed into a ditch.<br />
Cam Downs was<br />
worried the driver<br />
would be seriously<br />
hurt, but soon<br />
found the man,<br />
believed to be in his<br />
20s, was uninjured.<br />
The driver said “I<br />
don’t know what the<br />
Cam Downs<br />
f** just happened,”<br />
as Downs helped<br />
him out of the car.<br />
Downs told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> it had<br />
been a relief to find he was okay, after<br />
the crash happened about 8.15am on<br />
Wednesday last week<br />
“I was fully in panic mode, thinking:<br />
‘I have to get this person out of<br />
here’,” Downs said.<br />
Downs had been driving on<br />
Ellesmere Rd on his way to work, as a<br />
real estate agent in Christchurch, with<br />
his three-year-old daughter, who he<br />
was to take to pre-school. He heard a<br />
loud “boom noise”, then saw a “huge<br />
puff” of dirt up ahead.<br />

DEVELOPMENT of West<br />
Melton may be restricted as<br />
Christchurch Airport proposes<br />
moving its air noise contour to<br />
the township.<br />
Development of rural land to<br />
residential in the 50 decibel outer<br />
noise contour is heavily curtailed,<br />
due to the risk of residents<br />
complaining about the noise of<br />
aircraft taking off and landing at<br />
the airport.<br />
It comes as a 220-home section<br />
of a proposed subdivision at<br />
Rolleston has been recommended<br />
by a hearing commissioner to be<br />
declined, as it is in the current 50<br />
dB air noise contour.<br />
The airport is in the process<br />
of reviewing this contour, and it<br />
may move from Rolleston to West<br />
Melton.<br />
Because of this, developers of a<br />
proposed 130-home subdivision<br />
at West Melton face the threat of<br />
having to shelve their plans.<br />

THERE ARE some interesting<br />
facts and figures regarding<br />
the housing market in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
(page 5).<br />
Overall the average property<br />
value in the district has<br />
dropped 2.7 per cent in the<br />
last three months, reflecting<br />
the downturn across New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Rolleston and Springston<br />
had the biggest drops for<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> - 3.4 and 4.6 per cent<br />
respectively, but it could<br />
be argued the prices being<br />
achieved were too high<br />
anyway – part of the feeding<br />
frenzy property sellers across<br />
New Zealand have enjoyed for<br />
sometime.<br />
Some areas in the district<br />

THERE WILL be at least<br />
three candidates vying for the<br />
mayoralty in October’s local<br />
body elections.<br />
Malvern Community Board<br />
member and former mayor<br />
candidate Bill Woods has confirmed<br />
he will stand, while<br />
incumbent Sam Broughton has<br />
now submitted his nomination,<br />
joining new candidate Calvin<br />
Payne in standing for the role.<br />
Nominations for the local<br />
body elections close on Friday<br />
at noon.<br />
Woods told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
he was standing for mayor again<br />
as he wanted to offer an alternative<br />
to the status quo. He said<br />
Payne was not offering that, as<br />
he had said he did not want to<br />
win the mayoralty.<br />
“How can he be an alternative,<br />
if he’s going to vote for<br />
the incumbent? What a load of<br />
tripe,” Woods said.<br />
At the last election, Woods<br />
was the only candidate standing<br />
against Broughton. He polled<br />
4485 votes, compared to 12,041<br />
for Broughton.<br />
Meanwhile, the two Malvern<br />
Ward district councillors of<br />
Jenny Gallagher and Bob Mugford<br />
face a battle to save their<br />
seats, with four new candidates<br />
having been nominated in<br />
the two-seat ward as of Friday<br />
morning last week.<br />
Two new candidates have also<br />
come on board for the threeseat<br />
Rolleston Ward, which<br />
is the current <strong>Selwyn</strong> Central<br />
ward with district councillors<br />
Sophie McInnes, Jeff Bland,<br />
Nicole Reid and Mark Alexander.<br />
Of these four current<br />
district councillors, none have<br />
put in their nominations. However,<br />
Jeff Bland has said he is not<br />

IDENTIFYING THIEVES<br />
Police were no closer to identifying<br />
suspects in relation to thefts from<br />
cars, after examining a Samsung<br />
smartphone found by a Prebbleton<br />
resident. Mike Morton found the<br />
phone in the early hours of the<br />

been dropped by one of two youths<br />
who had been breaking into his<br />
car. It was one of a spate of car<br />
break-ins and thefts in and around<br />
Prebbleton overnight. A police<br />
spokeswoman said she was unable<br />
to go into detail about examination<br />
of the phone, but confirmed<br />
it had not yielded any useful<br />
information. “Unfortunately there<br />
is no evidence or lines of inquiry to<br />

Kia ora. I am a proud Cantabrian,<br />
and I live in Kirwee in the Malvern<br />
Ward of <strong>Selwyn</strong> district. I grew up in<br />
Christchurch and graduated from the<br />
University of Canterbury in Chemical<br />
and Process Engineering (Hons). For<br />
over 20 years, I’ve worked in the food,<br />
petroleum, and dairy industries of New<br />
Zealand. Since 2019, I have volunteered<br />
on the Project Management Institute<br />
of New Zealand Board of Directors.<br />
I am also an Associate Member of<br />
Institute of Directors. My pastime<br />
activities include playing football, golf,<br />
and swimming, and I enjoy getting<br />
together with friends and family.<br />
The fresh perspective I will bring to<br />
council comes from the passion I have<br />
for our community and for turning<br />
concerns into action that improves<br />
the community’s wellbeing. We are<br />
fortunate to live in a rich, natural<br />
environment however, we need to work<br />
together to protect our natural capital<br />
and to work towards a more sustainable<br />
lifestyle. My background in the<br />
sciences and project management will<br />
inform how I support our community<br />
and address difficult challenges like<br />
climate change that will affect future<br />
generations. If elected, I will work with<br />
communities to define the outcomes<br />
that are important to them and work<br />
with them to implement solutions. The<br />
breadth of my professional experience<br />
and non-profit volunteer work has<br />
equipped me with the skills necessary<br />
to work collaboratively with Malvern<br />
residents, to voice residents’ concerns<br />
at council, and to seek positive<br />
outcomes for us all.<br />
Happy to discuss any issues.<br />

Updated contour under review by experts<br />
• From page 1<br />
Hughes Development Ltd has<br />
applied to the district council to<br />
rezone 20ha bounded by Halkett<br />
Rd and West Coast Rd, to enable<br />
the subdivision.<br />
The company’s application<br />
for rezoning<br />
the site, Plan Change 74,<br />
will soon go to a hearing<br />
after 73 submissions were<br />
received, including one<br />
from Christchurch International<br />
Airport Ltd.<br />
While the updated<br />
noise contour is yet to<br />
be finalised and released<br />
for public consultation,<br />
the airport said in its submission<br />
that the updated draft contour<br />
included some of West Melton.<br />
“It would be inappropriate to<br />
alter the proposed rural zoning<br />
of the site to a residential zoning<br />
when there is clear evidence that<br />
this land may fall within updated<br />
Felicity<br />
Hayman<br />
noise contours.”<br />
Hughes Developments Ltd<br />
director Jake Hughes did not want<br />
to comment.<br />
The updated contour airport is<br />
now being reviewed by a panel of<br />
international experts as<br />
the airport works with<br />
review leader Environment<br />
Canterbury. Once<br />
the review process is<br />
complete, ECan will consult<br />
with the public on<br />
the updated contours.<br />
Christchurch Airport<br />
environment and planning<br />
manager Felicity<br />
Hayman said the review<br />
was important to see if the current<br />
contours, set <strong>10</strong> years ago, were<br />
still fit for purpose. The airport<br />
had changed the way it operated<br />
since then.<br />
“For example, the introduction<br />
of performance-based navigation<br />
in 2018 slightly altered flight paths<br />
to direct planes over rural instead<br />
of urban areas,” Hayman said.<br />
Meanwhile, the district council<br />
will make a decision today<br />
on whether to accept hearing<br />
Commissioner David Caldwell’s<br />
recommendation to approve Plan<br />
Change 71, but not allow deferred<br />
zoning of a 220-home section of<br />
it, due to the air noise contour in<br />
the area.<br />
The PC71 rezoning plan change<br />
application was from Four Stars<br />
Development Ltd and Gould<br />
Developments Ltd, for altogether<br />
about 660 homes on about 53ha<br />
at Rolleston, bounded by Levi Rd,<br />

Drop in property prices ‘not a slump’<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
SELWYN’S average property<br />
value has dropped 2.7 per cent in<br />
the last three months, reflecting<br />
a nationwide trend.<br />
Figures from the latest<br />
OneRoof-Valocity House Value<br />
Index show the average value<br />
remained more than $1 million,<br />
but only just, at $1,001,000,<br />
which is $28,000 lower than the<br />
previous quarter.<br />
The district reached the<br />
all-time high of more than $1<br />
million earlier this year.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> real<br />
estate principal<br />
for Ray White,<br />
Brendan<br />
Shefford, said<br />
the drop in<br />
prices for the<br />
district was not<br />
Brendan<br />
Shefford<br />
a slump.<br />
Rather it<br />
reflected a move<br />
back to more normal times, and<br />
it was now a market favouring<br />
buyers.<br />
“It’s just a normal market.<br />
Instead of 44 per cent up on <strong>10</strong><br />
years ago, prices are only up 41<br />
per cent up,” Shefford said.<br />
“There’s good buying to be had<br />
out there if you are a buyer. We<br />
are still seeing many good results<br />
for well presented, well priced<br />
homes.<br />
Meanwhile, the OneRoof-<br />
BARGAIN: This Rolleston home is on the market for $675,000.<br />
Rolleston and Springston had the biggest drops in property<br />
prices.<br />
Valocity data is reflected in<br />
median values reported by the<br />
Real Estate Institute of New<br />
Zealand. Median values for<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> peaked at $895,000 in<br />
March, before dropping for two<br />
months in a row then bouncing<br />
back to $852,500 in June.<br />
At the same time, Corelogic’s<br />
House Price Index has shown<br />
house prices nationwide are<br />
falling at the fastest rate in more<br />
than a decade, and at the fastest<br />
pace since the Global Financial<br />
Crisis.<br />
The OneRoof data show<br />
Rolleston and Springston had<br />
the biggest drops for <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
in the quarter – 3.4 and 4.6 per<br />
cent respectively. Dunsandel and<br />
Leeston dropped 0.2 and 3.3 per<br />
cent respectively.<br />
Some <strong>Selwyn</strong> areas bucked<br />
the trend, climbing in their<br />
average value, including<br />
Prebbleton by 2.2 per cent, West<br />
Melton by 2.4 per cent, Darfield<br />
by 0.9 per cent and Lincoln by<br />
0.3 per cent.<br />
During the same quarter, to<br />
the end of July, the nationwide<br />
average property value dropped<br />
BUYERS’ MARKET: The vendor is seeking $1.3<br />
million for this show home at Lincoln. Lincoln<br />
prices climbed slightly during the quarter.<br />
3.6 per cent to $1,053,000, while<br />
Canterbury’s average property<br />
value dropped 0.4 per cent, to<br />
$789,000.<br />
Head of valuations at<br />
OneRoof’s data partner Valocity,<br />
James Wilson, said record-high<br />
inflation and rapidly rising<br />
interest rates were among<br />
contributing factors. <strong>Selwyn</strong> was<br />
among the majority of territorial<br />
local authority areas in negative<br />
growth territory.<br />
“(It is) a sharp turnaround for<br />
a housing market that was still<br />
growing across all parts of the<br />
country at the start of the year,”<br />
Wilson said.<br />
“However, <strong>Selwyn</strong> prices are<br />
still 21.8 per cent higher than<br />
one year ago, unlike some areas<br />
such as Wellington where the<br />
slump has reversed gains made<br />
in the second half of 2021 and<br />
early <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
“On the flipside, the low<br />
unemployment rate of 3.2 per<br />
cent and strong GDP growth of<br />
5.2 per cent both provide some<br />
buffer against values crashing,”<br />
Wilson said.<br />

Caldwell heard from Foodstuffs<br />
and supporting experts at a<br />
hearing last week, alongside<br />
submitters.<br />
In 2020,<br />
Caldwell<br />
turned down<br />
resource consent<br />
to build<br />
a Countdown<br />
at Lincoln,<br />
David Caldwell<br />
finding there<br />
were adverse<br />
effects on<br />
local residents and the wider<br />
environment. That application<br />
attracted 72 submissions, the<br />
majority in support of the development.<br />
About 50 submissions have<br />
been received for the Pak’nSave<br />
Rolleston resource consent application.<br />
Foodstuffs is proposing<br />
to construct the supermarket at<br />
157 Levi Rd.<br />
Opposing submitters said<br />
there would be an increase in<br />
traffic congestion, noise from<br />
heavy vehicles and the supermarket’s<br />
mechanical services<br />
plant and car park, visual effects<br />
from signage, light spill from<br />
external lighting, and adverse<br />
effects from earthworks during<br />
construction. They proposed<br />
alternative locations such as in<br />
the industrial Izone area.<br />
“As a resident of Beaumont<br />
Drive, it is extremely hard to<br />
exit and turn right on to Levi<br />
Rd. The speed of the traffic coming<br />
off the Lincoln/Rolleston<br />
roundabout heading to Weedons<br />
interchange is very dangerous,”<br />
said Shane and Donna Webb,<br />
adding that increased traffic<br />
would make the problem worse.<br />
“Levi Rd is a unique part of<br />
Canterbury where there is an<br />
unspoiled vista of the Port Hills,<br />
with the bold branding associated<br />
with the supermarket chain<br />
I have a concern this may detract<br />
from this vista similar to the<br />
Mitre <strong>10</strong> issues in Ferrymead,”<br />

Richard Gould said.<br />
Rolleston residents in support<br />
said the new supermarket would<br />
mean cheaper groceries and<br />
more choice in the town.<br />
“I feel this is a great location,<br />
and with Rolleston growing and<br />
cost of petrol rising those in the<br />
farming community will value<br />
bulk buying closer to home,”<br />
Tracey Gonzalez said.<br />
“Levi Rd may become a little<br />
more congested, but there<br />
are many ways into Rolleston<br />
central now. Countdown and<br />
New World do not cut the mustard<br />
when it comes to supply,”<br />
Dwight Fray said.<br />
Foodstuffs property development<br />
manager Rebecca Parish<br />
was among those speaking at the<br />
hearing. She said in written evidence<br />
before the commissioner<br />
that prior to obtaining the land,<br />
the company had been seeking a<br />
site in <strong>Selwyn</strong> for 12 years.<br />
“There are no suitable sites<br />
large enough in the town centre,<br />
or any other commerciallyzoned<br />
areas in either the operative<br />
or proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Plans in Rolleston or Lincoln,”<br />
she said.<br />
Foodstuffs would be mindful<br />
of neighbouring homes, using<br />
setbacks at the residential interface<br />
for acoustic purposes and to<br />
provide an attractive edge.<br />
The company had made<br />
further modifications to its<br />
plans since viewing sumbitters’<br />
concerns, including additional<br />
landscape screening, reduced<br />
corporate colours, and reduced<br />
MEARES WILLIAMS<br />
LAWYERS<br />
signage which would not be lit<br />
between <strong>10</strong>pm and 7am. In addition,<br />
the design would ensure<br />
deliveries were convenient and<br />
safe, with unloading as fast as<br />
possible as not to adversely affecting<br />
neighbours or customers.<br />
Parish said the site was serviced<br />
by arterial roading and<br />
located on routes suitable for<br />
large delivery vehicles.<br />
The new supermarket would<br />
employ 260 people permanently,<br />
while offering customers choice<br />
and generating competition in<br />
the grocery sector.<br />
“The possible future establishment<br />
of the consented Costco<br />
Wholesale membership warehouse<br />
in Rolleston Izone would<br />
provide a different offering, and<br />
would not impact the predicted<br />
demand or time frame for the<br />
Pak’nSave Rolleston,” Parish<br />
said.<br />
Caldwell needs to make a<br />
decision on whether to grant<br />
resource consent within a<br />
15-working-days statutory time<br />
frame following the close of the<br />
hearing. He is likely to close the<br />
hearing once he has undertaken<br />
a site visit and confirmed he has<br />
all the information he needs, following<br />
the in-person part of the<br />
hearing held last week.<br />
One he has made a decision,<br />
there is a right of an appeal to<br />
the Environment Court for the<br />
applicant or any submitter.<br />
think<br />

the boring<br />
black box.<br />

Loving husband desperate for<br />
Ellesmere Hospital to reopen<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
EIGHTY-NINE-year-old Tom<br />
Tyler has a broken heart.<br />
He has not been able to bring<br />
his wife, Helen, home to Leeston<br />
since she was forced to move out<br />
of the district in March.<br />
Helen had been a resident of<br />
Ellesmere Hospital for about<br />
three years when the hospital<br />
closed, alongside Darfield and<br />
other Canterbury country hospitals,<br />
due to health staff pressures<br />
in the Covid pandemic.<br />
Health authorities said at the<br />
time the hospitals were expected<br />
to open within six weeks of Omicron’s<br />
peak, which happened in<br />
April.<br />
Tom, and Helen’s daughter<br />
Amanda, said they were not<br />
only desperate to see the hospital<br />
reopen, but were desperate for<br />
answers from Health New Zealand<br />
as to when this might be.<br />
“At the end of the day, we are<br />
just missing each other, and<br />
that’s the hardest part,” Tom<br />
said.<br />
“It’s hard on Helen, it’s been<br />
hard on both of us.”<br />
Helen is bedridden due to<br />
having suffered a stroke, needing<br />
hospital-level care. She is now in<br />
Rosebank Rest Home and Hospital<br />
in Ashburton.<br />
Tom said every time he has<br />
to leave after visiting her in<br />
Ashburton, he gives her a kiss<br />
goodbye, and will often see tears<br />
in her eyes.<br />
“It breaks my heart. I love her<br />
to bits, we have had such a great<br />
relationship and now we are just<br />
waiting for the day when they<br />
open the hospital down there<br />
again.”<br />
His visits to see Helen had<br />
been cut back dramatically due<br />
to the travel distance. Their<br />
marital home is in Leeston, just<br />
a minute’s drive from Ellesmere<br />
Hospital. When she was there,<br />
every single day he would drive<br />
there and bring her home for<br />
two-and-a-half hours.<br />
“A lot of the time we would<br />
just sit there and have something<br />
to eat, just being in each other’s<br />
company was great, in our own<br />
place, that’s the big thing.”<br />
Sometimes he would take her<br />
in her wheelchair around the<br />
town of Leeston, where they<br />
would bump into locals they<br />
knew and chat away. Other times<br />
they would drive to Te Waihora/<br />
Lake Ellesmere, to look at the<br />
views.<br />
Tom said on the advice of<br />
his GP he can not drive as far<br />
as Ashburton, so relies on a<br />
community driving service and<br />
family. This means he gets to see<br />
Helen for about one hour once or<br />
twice per week.<br />
Health authorities are<br />
planning on re-opening<br />
Ellesmere and Darfield<br />
hospitals before the end of<br />
the year.<br />
Te Whatu Ora Waitaha<br />
Canterbury executive<br />
director of nursing Becky<br />
Hickmott said the exact<br />
date remained contingent<br />
on the ongoing demands<br />
of Covid-19 and other<br />
health system pressures.<br />
These included workforce<br />
needs, which continued to<br />
be challenging.<br />
“Our hope is that we will<br />
“We talk about our love for<br />
each other, and how lucky we<br />
are that we have got each other.<br />
Even though things are against<br />
us at the moment, we have to<br />
think how fortunate we are that<br />
we can see each other twice a<br />
week.”<br />
He said while Rosebank was a<br />
fantastic facility with good staff,<br />
Helen’s health had declined since<br />
the move. This was due to the<br />
stress of being in a new environment,<br />
away from the familiar<br />
faces and routines of Ellesmere<br />
Hospital, which was like home<br />
to her.<br />
be in a position to reopen<br />
before the end of the year,”<br />
Hickmott said.<br />
“We appreciate that<br />
relocating older people<br />
is disruptive and that this<br />
has been hard for some<br />
of our residents and their<br />
whānau,” she said.<br />
“However, we needed to<br />
ensure that our residents<br />
were living somewhere<br />
that is well set up and<br />
has the staff resources to<br />
make sure they are well<br />
looked after during the<br />
pandemic.”<br />
Amanda said she had asked<br />
Health New Zealand and the former<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board many a time, via phone<br />
calls and an online submission<br />
form, when the hospital would<br />
be re-opening, but had not heard<br />
back.<br />
She said Ellesmere Hospital<br />
was a beautiful building in beautiful<br />
grounds. Country hospitals<br />
in general were unique, and both<br />
Ellesmere and Darfield needed to<br />
remain open.<br />
“They keep people’s loved ones<br />
in the community,” Amanda<br />
said.<br />

Competition an opportunity for<br />
PASSIONATE: Gabby Sanders has always had an interest in cooking and says food can be used as a way to bring people together.<br />
Gabby Sanders is travelling<br />
to Australia to compete for<br />
a golden chef’s hat award.<br />
Reporter Emily Moorhouse<br />
talks to the former Lincoln<br />
High School student about<br />
her unlikely favourite foods<br />
as a child, her thought<br />
process behind a successful<br />
menu and why she is<br />
passionate about cooking<br />
GABBY SANDERS remembers<br />
trying to help her mum in the<br />
kitchen when she was a little girl<br />
was probably “quite annoying”.<br />
But fast forward 20 years and<br />
that curiosity in the kitchen has<br />
paid off – next month she will be<br />
in Melbourne representing the<br />
South Island in the grand finals of<br />
the <strong>2022</strong> Nestlé Golden Chef’s Hat<br />
Award.<br />
Sanders, 23, won gold at the<br />
regional heats to qualify for the<br />
grand finals, held at Ara Institute<br />
of Canterbury, where she is<br />
studying towards a diploma in<br />
cookery level 5.<br />
She received gold for her twocourse<br />
menu of hoisin glaze pork,<br />
black vinegar dumpling and<br />
umami broth and a dessert of chai<br />
spice cake with pear, coffee, pecan<br />
and white chocolate.<br />
“It was surreal, it didn’t actually<br />
feel real because I wasn’t expecting<br />
it to happen at all,” Sanders said.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> High Schools<br />
Waste Art Competition<br />
Awards and Exhibition<br />
advertising<br />
Lincoln Envirotown invites the public to view<br />
and celebrate the artwork of our High School aged<br />
students at an Exhibition and Awards presentation<br />
which take place over the weekend of 13th/14th<br />
<strong>August</strong>. This event was first held last year and<br />
exhibited a genuine concern for the issue of Waste<br />
along with high standards of work.<br />
It has been a difficult year for schools and students<br />
but a pleasing number of them have taken the<br />
time to complete projects that will showcase their<br />
alternative view of “rubbish” in Art form. This year<br />
Lincoln Envirotown has been very grateful to the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council’s Arts and Community<br />
Services Team who have enabled us to provide this<br />
event at the relatively new and eminently suitable<br />
venue of Te Ara Ātea in Rolleston. This move will<br />
enable students’ efforts to be viewed by a wider<br />
public.<br />
Awards and prizes will be presented at 1.00pm on<br />
Saturday 13th <strong>August</strong> by Mayor Sam Broughton.<br />
Exhibition to the public will be for whole weekend<br />
13th/14th in Te Ara Ātea, Rolleston.

passionate junior chef to shine<br />
She had competed in the heats<br />
last year, narrowly missing out on<br />
bronze so wanted to really push<br />
herself this year.<br />
Sanders will be competing<br />
against 12 other chefs, with<br />
one other chef from the North<br />
Island and the rest from all over<br />
Australia.<br />
The winner will be awarded an<br />
AU$<strong>10</strong>,000 cash prize, something<br />
Sanders said would be an amazing<br />
opportunity to help expand<br />
her cooking equipment.<br />
“I’d be able to go out and immerse<br />
myself in the food culture<br />
in Christchurch and around New<br />
Zealand a wee bit more which<br />
would be fantastic as well.”<br />
While Sanders has always had<br />
an interest in cooking, she never<br />
considered it to be her professional<br />
career.<br />
After leaving Lincoln High<br />
School, Sanders worked full-time<br />
at a supermarket, still figuring<br />
out what she wanted to do.<br />
Her co-worker Jeremy, who was<br />
going through a career change<br />
to be a chef, encouraged her to<br />
study cookery, so she decided to<br />
give it a go and enrolled at Ara.<br />
Sanders said she is still in<br />
contact with Jeremy and he was<br />
stoked to hear about her securing<br />
a spot in the grand finals competition.<br />
Sanders said her mother is an<br />
“amazing” cook and growing up,<br />
HELPING HAND: As a child, Gabby Sanders loved to help<br />
her mother out in the kitchen. Here she is at three-yearsold<br />
with a cake.<br />
she was encouraged to eat like an<br />
adult and try new things.<br />
“We’d always be pushed to try<br />
new things. As a kid some of my<br />
favourite foods were blue cheese<br />
and pâté and olives which lots of<br />
kids don’t really enjoy.<br />
“I really like how food sort of<br />
brings people together, it’s something<br />
to enjoy with a group.”<br />
Sanders lives with her partner<br />
in St Albans and when asked<br />
if they enjoy her cooking she<br />
laughed.<br />
“You’d think so but we eat a lot<br />
of curries and baked beans and<br />
stuff, just general easy dinners.”<br />
Although, she did say she’s<br />
been enjoying cooking heavy,<br />
richer meals during the colder<br />
weather, such as lamb shanks and<br />
beef stew.<br />
She said the most challenging<br />
thing to cook is anything she’s<br />
unfamiliar with as it can take a<br />
while to get her head around it.<br />
“I think the hardest thing to<br />
make is probably something<br />
you’re too scared to have a go at .<br />
. . [but] the only thing worse than<br />
messing something up is just not<br />
trying in the first place.”<br />
Sanders is “hesitantly confident”<br />
for the grand finals and<br />
while she’s excited to give it a go,<br />
she’s also still processing it all.<br />
During the regional heats,<br />
chefs were judged on presentation,<br />
taste and the use of ingredients<br />
down to how clean they<br />
are in the kitchen, general food<br />
handling and how much food<br />
they waste.<br />
“You’re being watched the<br />
whole time, it’s a bit scary,” Sanders<br />
said.<br />
For each competition, chefs are<br />
given a set ingredient list which<br />
they have to build their menu<br />
around.<br />
Sanders said she likes to sit<br />
down and brainstorm what flavours<br />
would work well together<br />
then, with the help of her tutors,<br />
figure out the best way to execute<br />
each piece of the dish.<br />
“You can always tweak it and<br />
improve it and everyone’s taste is<br />
different,” she said.<br />
“It’s a group effort to get<br />
something down that majority of<br />
people would enjoy eating.”<br />
Sanders works on what the<br />
dish will look like last, once she’s<br />
nailed the taste.<br />
“The way it tastes is the most<br />
important because it could look<br />
amazing and just taste awful and<br />
there’s not much point in that.”<br />
As for kitchen fails, nothing<br />
sprung to mind for Sanders,<br />
although she admitted she has<br />
dropped and burnt her fair share<br />
of things.<br />
“When you mess something<br />
up it’s how you deal with it and<br />
make it work in the end, it’s<br />
always a really good learning<br />
experience because when you<br />
make a big mistake you’re always<br />
going to remember it and not do<br />
it again.”<br />
Outside of study, Sanders<br />
works part-time at The Monday<br />
Room as a commis chef, a job<br />
she scored from completing work<br />
experience there as part of her<br />
study.<br />
As a commis chef, Sanders<br />
assists the other chefs with food<br />
preparation, particularly working<br />
on entrées and desserts, although<br />
she said she likes to give everything<br />
a go.<br />
When Sanders graduates she<br />
said she’s open to moving around<br />
a bit and maybe spending some<br />
time overseas but for now she is<br />
happy where she is, doing what<br />
she loves.

In Brief<br />
DESIGNS FOR NEW<br />
ROUNDABOUTS<br />
Detailed design work on<br />
two new roundabouts in<br />
Prebbleton will progress<br />
after the district council<br />
approved preferred design<br />
options. Roundabouts at<br />
Shands Rd/Trents Rd and<br />
Shands Rd/Hamptons Rd<br />
are next in a series of intersection<br />
upgrades, needed<br />
due to the increased traffic<br />
flow from residential<br />
growth and connecting to<br />
the Christchurch Southern<br />
Motorway. nitial site works<br />
will begin early next year<br />
on the $<strong>10</strong> million project,<br />
which is co-funded by<br />
Waka Kotahi New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency. Main<br />
James<br />
Richmond<br />
from $1.77 to $1.99<br />
million, due to cost<br />
increases with supply<br />
chain issues and<br />
inflation. They will also<br />
consider adding extras,<br />
including a 3m hydroslide<br />
for six to 12-year-olds, preschoolers’<br />
wet play area,<br />
and bleacher seating, taking<br />
the total build budget<br />
to $2.39 million.<br />
In their report to<br />
councillors, project manager<br />
Sandrine Carrara and<br />
Active <strong>Selwyn</strong> manager<br />
James Richmond<br />
say construction<br />
would be staged to<br />
minimise impact to<br />
operations. Work<br />
had been scheduled<br />
in two stages for<br />
before and after the<br />
summer swim season<br />
from November<br />
to March. Stage one<br />
including painting and<br />
structural improvements<br />
were under way.<br />
In the same report Carrara<br />
and Richmond said<br />
the Sheffield Pool tub was<br />
construction will get under<br />
way in the 2023/24 financial<br />
year.<br />
CROSS-COUNTRY<br />
COURSE CLOSED<br />
THe Hororata crosscountry<br />
equestrian<br />
course is closed as the<br />
district council consults<br />
with users over safety<br />
improvements. The district<br />
council has temporarily<br />
closed the facility as work<br />
is undertaken to alleviate<br />
a number of health and<br />
safety concerns, identified<br />
in a recent review.<br />
Community interest drove<br />
the development of the<br />
course and walking tracks<br />
which were opened in 2008<br />
about 70 years old and<br />
undergoing assessment.<br />
“Recent rain events have<br />
accelerated the erosion of<br />
the soils and supporting<br />
structures around this<br />
pool and a full report on<br />
the remedial action and<br />
high-level cost report will<br />
be presented to council in<br />
the coming weeks,” they<br />
said.<br />
Visitor rates to the<br />
facility were low at about<br />
1500 per year, compared<br />
to about <strong>10</strong>,000 at both<br />
Darfield and Southbridge<br />
pools.<br />
District councillors<br />
would be asked for direction<br />
on options, including<br />
“repair, closure, and<br />
divestment.”<br />

HEALTH AND WELLBEING<br />
a priority in Prebbleton<br />
An exciting new health and fitness centre,<br />
Flex Fitness Prebbleton, is about to take<br />
community lifestyle to a whole new level.<br />
Flex Fitness Prebbleton is a modern, state<br />
of the art, fitness centre that is designed<br />
to cater for all levels of fitness. The centre<br />
offers 24-hour access so members can work<br />
out when it suits them.<br />
Manager Erin Manson says the centre<br />
“caters for all ages and is goal dependent.<br />
It doesn’t matter what the goal is or fitness<br />
level, there is a programme to suit.”<br />
LEVEL UP, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND<br />
A tiered membership is available to suit<br />
each person’s needs, dependent on how<br />
involved they want their fitness programme<br />
to be at the centre. The uniquely designed<br />
Level Up membership is a results-based<br />
programme and a first in the fitness industry.<br />
Level Up offers group coached classes, and<br />
is a tailormade, specialised programme<br />
developed inhouse by owner/operator<br />
Mel Nunan and Joe Kelso.<br />
Level Up is a strength and conditioning<br />
programme, where members are individually<br />
assessed to work out their goals with advice<br />
on the best classes to help achieve<br />
those goals. Regular consultations<br />
every three months help keep<br />
members on track, and nutritional<br />
guidance is available.<br />
Level Up members can choose<br />
from several classes depending<br />
on their specific fitness needs and<br />
challenges, from Strong – weightbased<br />
classes that run in eight<br />
week blocks, Sweat – cardio-based<br />
training designed to get the heart<br />
rate up, and Perform – classes that<br />
offer advanced workouts.<br />
“There’s nothing like it on the market,”<br />
says Mel Nunan, who also owns Flex Fitness<br />
Lincoln.<br />
Level Up membership gives access to<br />
everything on offer at Flex Fitness<br />
Prebbleton, including the sauna, gym<br />
programming, classes, body scans and<br />
consultations.<br />
An exciting aspect of membership is access<br />
to a specifically designed app, where<br />
members have access to all their fitness<br />
information including their progress, body<br />
scans, and even book classes. They can also<br />
record exercise outside the centre.<br />
Two other membership levels are available<br />
to those who wish to be more independent –<br />
Gym and Sauna or Gym Only – both receive<br />
free programming and access to personal<br />
trainers.<br />
The equipment used in the centre<br />
is Technogym, Italian designed and<br />
manufactured. “It’s the best gym equipment<br />
you can buy,” says Erin. Technogym is<br />
also the supplier for the Olympic Games,<br />
including the 2020 Tokyo Games.<br />
COMMUNITY CENTRED<br />
Mel says the centre has been carefully<br />
planned so people new to the exercise<br />
concept don’t feel intimated, plus there is<br />
also a smoothie bar onsite, stocking cold<br />
drinks, merchandise, and supplements.<br />
“We want people to feel comfortable.”<br />
She also wants the community to feel<br />
ownership and involvement, and emphasises<br />
that the centre is for everyone in the<br />
community regardless of age or fitness level.<br />
Offering a high level of service is top priority<br />
for Flex Fitness Prebbleton. All the staff<br />
have professional training and experience.<br />
Besides manager Erin Manson and owner<br />
Mel Nunan, there will also be three personal<br />
trainers, a nutritionist, and Technogym<br />
technician and general handyman,<br />
Ben Gilmore, who is also an owner.<br />
OPEN DAY<br />
Members of the community are<br />
invited to come along to an<br />
OPEN DAY at Flex Fitness Prebbleton<br />
on Saturday 13 <strong>August</strong> from<br />
9am to 3pm.<br />
Come and meet the trainers, ask about the<br />
classes, try the equipment and discuss your<br />
fitness needs – there will be sign-up deals<br />
on the day plus giveaways.<br />
You’ll find Flex Fitness Prebbleton in the<br />
new shopping precinct at 563 Springs Road,<br />
Prebbleton. Plus check out their website<br />

THERE WAS little doubt flowers<br />
would always be a crucial part of<br />
Courtney Chamberlain’s life.<br />
She is a sixth-generation member<br />
of the Chamberlain family<br />
to live at Springston’s Hadstock<br />
Farm and the fourth generation<br />
of flower growers.<br />
The farm has been in the<br />
Chamberlain family since 1878<br />
and, from small beginnings,<br />
now cultivates just shy of 25ha<br />
of spring bulbs. Daffodils are the<br />
major crop on this land bursting<br />
with floral beauty.<br />
Armed with years of first-hand<br />
experience and Bachelor of Laws<br />
and Commerce degrees, Chamberlain<br />
is the farm’s assistant<br />
manager, and also assists at Miss<br />
Feaver Florist, which has been a<br />
Chamberlain family-run business<br />
for 36 years.<br />
Chamberlain, 28, is about to<br />
put all that pedigree and her<br />
practical experience to the test.<br />
She has been nominated as<br />
the Young Florist and Flower<br />
Grower sector representative to<br />
compete at the national Young<br />
Horticulturist Competition in<br />
November.<br />
There she will compete against<br />
finalists from the competition’s<br />
other sectors. The sectors are:<br />
Young Grower of the Year<br />
(Horticulture New Zealand Fruit<br />
and Vegetable Sectors); Young<br />
Amenity Horticulturist (New<br />
Zealand Recreation Association);<br />
Young Achiever (New Zealand<br />
Plant Producers incorporated);<br />
Young Landscaper of the Year<br />
(Registered Master Landscapers<br />
New Zealand); Young Viticulturist<br />
of the Year (New Zealand<br />
Winegrowers); New Arborist<br />
(New Zealand Arboriculture<br />
Association); and Young Florist/<br />
Flower Grower (FLONZI Florists<br />
and Flower Growers NZ).<br />
Young Horticulturist chair<br />
Hamish Gates said those selected<br />
to compete represent the best<br />
in young horticultural talent in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Chamberlain and the other<br />
competitors will be judged on<br />
several challenges including<br />
practical skills, industry expertise,<br />
leadership ability, business<br />
knowledge and communication.<br />
During her university years<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Chamberlain continued working<br />
at the farm. She completed her<br />
degrees, then the professional<br />
legal studies qualification, before<br />
becoming fully employed in<br />
2020 at the family enterprises.<br />
“I manage bulbs sales, take<br />
orders, interact with customers,<br />
manage the website and fulfil<br />
orders. During daffodil season<br />
I recruit, interview, hire, train<br />
and supervise employees. I am<br />
also involved with bulb production<br />
throughout the year from<br />
digging, washing, grading,<br />
preparing the ground and planting<br />
bulbs to caring for the bulbs/<br />
flowers as they grow,” she said.<br />
“I enjoy the rewarding nature<br />
of flower growing, it can take<br />
years – even generations – to<br />
build up a strong line of a<br />
particular variety, but I take<br />
great pride in growing and<br />
selling a variety that my<br />
grandfather started with only a<br />
few bulbs.<br />
“I love seeing the growth we<br />
have achieved in our family<br />
businesses.”<br />
That growth looks set to<br />
continue. There’s talk of<br />
expanding the flower range and<br />
having flowers blooming yearround.<br />

Fresh meat delivered<br />
to your door weekly<br />
WHILE THERE may<br />
not be a butcher shop in<br />
their local area, that’s no<br />
problem for residents of<br />
West Melton and Rolleston,<br />
and that’s because they<br />
have a weekly visit from the<br />
mobile butchery truck run<br />
by Corey’s Master Butchers.<br />
Packed with a selection of<br />
60 different cuts of quality<br />
meats, smallgoods, and<br />
fresh vegetables, fruit and<br />
milk, the mobile butchery<br />
visits West Melton every<br />
Tuesday and Rolleston<br />
every Thursday.<br />
The service was established<br />
four and a half years<br />
ago, and business owner<br />
Corey Winder says it has<br />
built up a regular customer<br />
base, with new customers<br />
also frequently joining the<br />
ranks.<br />
“People in these areas<br />
find our mobile service<br />
convenient, because they<br />
can buy their supply of<br />
meat for the week at one<br />
time,” Corey said.<br />
Another helpful service<br />
offered by Corey’s Master<br />
Butchers is a weekly<br />
delivery across western and<br />
southern suburbs, which<br />
runs every Wednesday.<br />
“We deliver the orders<br />
right to the customer’s<br />
door, so rather than them<br />
having to drive somewhere<br />
to purchase their meat, we<br />
go to them so it’s not just<br />
convenient, it saves their<br />
petrol costs too.”<br />
The refrigerated<br />
delivery truck doesn’t<br />
start its rounds until<br />
3pm, which means the<br />
boxed meat order is not<br />
left for an extended time<br />
if the customer is away<br />
at work. The delivery<br />
areas cover Halswell,<br />
Lincoln, Prebbleton,<br />
Rolleston, West Melton<br />
and Kirwee. Customers<br />
place their orders online<br />
at coreysbutchery.com.<br />
Orders placed before <strong>10</strong>am<br />
on a Monday are delivered<br />
on the Wednesday<br />
afternoon or early evening.<br />
The<br />
refrigerated<br />
delivery<br />
truck start<br />
its rounds at<br />
3pm.<br />
Corey’s experience in<br />
butchery started with his<br />
apprenticeship, which he<br />
completed in 1995, and has<br />
incorporated all aspects<br />
of the industry including<br />
tutoring, assessment of<br />
apprentices and selling<br />
butchery-related equipment<br />
and products.<br />
He has also regularly<br />
competed in international<br />
butchery competitions<br />
and was a member of an<br />
international team of six<br />
butchers that won the competition<br />
in 2014.<br />
His retail business,<br />
Corey’s Master Butchers, is<br />
in the Bush Inn Centre in<br />
Upper Riccarton, where he<br />
has a team of three fulltime<br />
butchers, one parttime<br />

Kirsty Bentley’s best friend<br />
haunted by goodbye<br />
• By Kurt Bayer<br />
THE BEST friend of murdered<br />
Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty<br />
Bentley, who was with her hours<br />
before she disappeared, remains<br />
haunted by her final wave<br />
goodbye.<br />
Lee-Anne Murray, who hung<br />
out with Bentley on New Year’s<br />
Eve 1998, is hopeful the killer<br />
will finally be brought to justice,<br />
with police offering a $<strong>10</strong>0,000<br />
reward to help solve the 24-year<br />
cold case mystery.<br />
Murray (née Jellyman), a<br />
married 40-year-old mother<br />
who lives in Christchurch, has<br />
spoken about the impact her<br />
close friend’s death has had on<br />
her life.<br />
“Unfortunately, as a teenager, I<br />
feel I lost a lot of that innocence<br />
and naïvety that comes with<br />
being a 16-year-old,” says<br />
Murray.<br />
“I kept a lot of the trauma<br />
pushed to the back of my mind,<br />
until <strong>10</strong> years later when it<br />
really hit me and I needed some<br />
professional support.”<br />
On December 31, 1998, Kirsty<br />
caught up with her best friend<br />
Murray for some shopping in<br />
their hometown of Ashburton.<br />
They lounged in the library<br />
before going to The Warehouse<br />
and some other shops around<br />
town.<br />
“She wanted to get her<br />
favourite body spray, which I can<br />
smell right now thinking about<br />
it,” Murray says.<br />
“We talked about school,<br />
boys, the rest of the holidays,<br />
her coming to the races with me<br />
and dad the next day – we were<br />
teenage girls so we talked about<br />
a lot of stuff! I don’t have a clue<br />
what I ate, but I remember we<br />
had milkshakes.<br />
“Her mood was very Kirsty,<br />
and those that knew her know<br />
GOOD TIMES: Lee-Anne Murray (née Jellyman) and her<br />
best friend Kirsty Bentley (right) getting dressed up to visit<br />
KFC. Right – Kirsty’s last known movements.<br />
GRAPHIC: NZ HERALD<br />
exactly what I mean. Lots of<br />
laughing, giggles and smiles.”<br />
Around early afternoon,<br />
they parted ways, thinking<br />
they would see each other the<br />
following day.<br />
Kirsty, who arrived back at<br />
the family’s South St home at<br />
about 2.30pm before taking<br />
her black labrador-cross<br />
Abby for a walk, was never<br />
seen again.<br />
The next day, Abby was<br />
found tied to a tree near the<br />
Ashburton River, and the teen’s<br />
underwear was nearby – a scene<br />
that Detective Inspector Greg<br />
Murton, who is now in charge<br />
of the cold-case file and working<br />
on a “stranger-type abduction”<br />
theory involving a loner killer<br />
who lived locally, believes was<br />
staged by the killer.<br />
Her body was discovered two<br />
weeks later in the Rakaia River<br />
gorge, 40km away.<br />
Murray often recalls Kirsty’s<br />
smile and final wave goodbye<br />
that fateful afternoon.<br />
“That’s stuck with me,” she<br />
says.<br />
“I think about Kirsty a lot,<br />
especially now that I am married<br />
and a mum. I think about how<br />
unfair it is that she missed out on<br />
all of it.<br />
“I don’t think there is anyone<br />
that was there at the time that<br />
doesn’t think about it.”<br />
But Murray still cherishes<br />
the shared memories they had<br />
together, and the good times.<br />
She recalls passing notes in<br />
maths class about the boys they<br />
liked; spending hours discussing<br />
their favourite band, Backstreet<br />
Boys; Kirsty often biking out<br />
to her house on the outskirts of<br />
town; and one night, dressing up<br />
in their best clothes, putting on<br />
mascara and lip gloss, and going<br />
to KFC for tea.<br />
“We thought we were the bee’s<br />
knees,” she says.<br />
“There are photos of her and<br />
I from that night, and it makes<br />
my heart happy when I look at<br />
them.”<br />
Murray doesn’t have a clue<br />
who killed her best friend.<br />
But she’s hopeful that one day<br />
they will be caught.<br />
“It would bring some<br />
peace, and closure – not<br />
closure to forget about her, but<br />
that she can finally lay at rest, as<br />
we [would] know who took her<br />
from us.”<br />

SELWYN WELCOMES NEW<br />
CITIZENS TO AOTEAROA<br />
Kirwee Reserve open for play<br />
The next stage of the Kirwee Reserve upgrade is now complete<br />
with the new playground and cricket nets in place ready<br />
for spring.<br />
The final inspection has been completed and Project Manager,<br />
Sandrine Carrara says the new playground has officially opened,<br />
even though the outer fencing is staying up however while<br />
contractors finish levelling and re-sowing the outer grassed areas.<br />
The new playground features a basket swing, slides and a seesaw,<br />
with facilities including shade sails, picnic tables and a bike rack.<br />
The old playground will be removed by contractors in the next<br />
few weeks.<br />
The upgrade started last year when new pedestrian entrances<br />
were added at Tramway Road. The first stage saw a cricket oval,<br />
new irrigation, new sports field lighting and a pump<br />
track installed.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> has hosted its first New Zealand citizenship ceremony in 12 months – welcoming 78<br />
new residents from 14 different countries.<br />
More than 260 people turned out at the Tai Tapu Community Centre last week to congratulate<br />
the new citizens in a special event, organised after ceremonies were put on hold due<br />
to COVID-19.<br />
The ceremony featured a welcome from Mayor Sam Broughton and a kapa haka performance<br />
by students from Tai Tapu School.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s newest Kiwis have come from all over the world including South Africa, the United<br />
Kingdom, India, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, and included many families.<br />
Among them was the Colloty family from South Africa who have been in the district since<br />
arriving in the summer of 2015. Dave Colloty says he, his wife Jolanda and their two boys were<br />
made welcome from the day their arrived.<br />
“We love the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District and the<br />
country feel,” Dave says. “We’ve lived in<br />
Prebbleton and now in Lincoln and our<br />
boys, Geordan and Declan, are getting the<br />
quality education they never could have<br />
obtained in South Africa.”<br />
Each new citizen who attended the<br />
ceremony had already received their<br />
official citizenship certificates in the post<br />
– the Colloty family got theirs in October<br />
last year – but were presented with a<br />
special welcome certificate by<br />
Mayor Broughton.<br />
Many of our new citizens have been<br />
waiting a long time due to delays caused<br />
by Internal Affairs moving to a fully<br />
online processing system. This means the<br />
citizenship process can take a year or more.<br />
If you are a resident thinking about becoming a citizen, visit the Immigration New Zealand website<br />
as soon as possible to start the process of making Aotearoa your country, as well as your home.<br />
Time running out for election nominations<br />
Thinking of standing for Council, Mayor or Community Board elections in <strong>Selwyn</strong>? Act fast, as<br />
you only have a few days left to get your nomination in.<br />
Nominations close at 12 midday sharp on Friday (12 <strong>August</strong>).<br />
The Council’s deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill is urging potential candidates to get their<br />
nominations in as soon as possible.<br />
“We know many candidates leave their nomination till the last minute,” he says. “They may be<br />
wanting to keep an eye on who else is running – but it’s definitely risky to leave it till late.<br />
“There are no extensions – so an early<br />
nominations gives us time to ensure<br />
candidates have all their details right<br />
and have included everything on<br />
their application.<br />
Mr Hill says it’s been good to see<br />
a number of first-time candidates<br />
putting their names forward, and to<br />
have a range of ages, backgrounds and<br />
ethnicities represented.<br />
“Anyone who is passionate about the<br />
future of <strong>Selwyn</strong>, who wants to make<br />
a difference in their local community<br />
and to help shape the district’s future<br />
should consider standing.”<br />
Nomination forms, along with detailed information on the election process, are available from<br />
Council service centres or online at selwyn.govt.nz/elections.<br />
Friday is also the last date for voters to enrol to receive voting papers by mail – people can still enrol<br />
after Friday but will need to request a special vote. To check your enrolment, visit vote.nz.<br />
Driver behavior identified as focus<br />
for road safety<br />
There’s a drive to encourage motorists in <strong>Selwyn</strong> to pay more<br />
attention on the roads.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s road safety team is urging drivers to pay better<br />
attention to the quality of their driving – with poor observation by<br />
drivers identified as a major factor causing crashes.<br />
Statistics from police crash reports show what factors contribute<br />
most to fatal and serious injury road crashes – with driver<br />
inattention a major cause of accidents in the district.<br />
Data from the last <strong>10</strong> years shows there were 344 serious<br />
crashes in the district in which 447 people were killed or<br />
seriously injured.<br />
Council’s Road Safety Education Advisor, Mike Patterson, says<br />
in almost every serious crash the drivers’ actions were a primary<br />
contributing factor.<br />
Poor observation and distraction were by far the biggest<br />
contributing factors to serious crashes, followed closely by<br />
alcohol and failing to give way at intersections; and more than<br />
half the accidents involved male drivers on full licences.<br />
Nearly half of the serious accidents happened at intersections<br />
and 43% happened on rural or state highways where the speed<br />
limits are 80kph or more.<br />
Mike says the overall message is for drivers to change their<br />
behavior: plan ahead, stay alert, slow down, and drop back.<br />

Greater Well-being with Evexias<br />
Don’t let neck pain, injuries, musculoskeletal conditions, ongoing<br />
migraines or even rehabilitation after surgery hold you back from<br />
being the best you can be. With no referral required, Evexias will<br />
work with you to improve your well-being and health.<br />
Evexias is part of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Health Hub at 3 Norman Kirk Drive,<br />
Rolleston and is handily located next to Pacific Radiology and offers<br />
a full range of physiotherapy services. These include orthopaedic<br />
manipulative therapy, vocational and work rehabilitation programs,<br />
head and migraine treatment, acupuncture, dry needling, running<br />
assessment, exercise and post-operative rehabilitation and manual<br />
therapy. Associated services include Hand Therapy, and Molecheck.<br />
Phillippa, Rowan, Teresa, and Alex, make up the friendly and<br />
highly experienced team. Each member has extensive specialist<br />
knowledge and can provide comprehensive and tailored<br />
individualised care. As a patient, you will be treated professionally,<br />
listened to and taken through a thorough initial assessment.<br />
Then, an individualised treatment plan will be discussed with you,<br />
resulting in a collaborative strategy.<br />
We are lucky enough to have another experienced Physiotherapist<br />
join our team, who also provides running<br />
assessments. Rowan has a sporting<br />
background and an active lifestyle of<br />
gym-going, golfing, and snowboarding.<br />
Being a competitive rower, he explained,<br />
“I was always injured, and I had a lot<br />
of back issues, so I was always in a<br />
physio clinic, which sparked my interest<br />
in physiotherapy.” Rowan’s farming<br />
background also produced many injuries,<br />
and these experiences gave him a good<br />
understanding of injuries and the road<br />
to recovery. He is keen to get involved<br />
in helping the Rolleston community and<br />
wants to keep upskilling and applying<br />
his knowledge, including working<br />
towards a Post-graduate qualification in<br />
Occupational Physiotherapy.<br />
Evexias welcomes<br />
new physiotherapist<br />
Rowan to the team<br />
Another team member, Phillipa Horne (Co-Director), confirms<br />
her approach is about finding the cause, not just treating the<br />
symptoms. Growing up she was the “one that helped the kids on<br />
the playground”. From there, it seems she naturally progressed into<br />
physiotherapy. Phillippa previously came from a rural practice in<br />
the North Island, covering a diverse range of people and conditions<br />
but has been based in Christchurch for ten years. Phillippa says,<br />
“People around me had headaches and migraines and were<br />
struggling with them.” In 2016, she decided she “wanted to go into<br />
an area where I could make a difference in people’s lives”. After<br />
training with Dean Watson in Australia, Phillippa developed her<br />
skills in treating migraines and headaches. After working in a clinic<br />
that only treated headaches and migraines, she consolidated her<br />
skills and has completed over 3500 hours in that speciality field<br />
since then. Phillippa would eventually like to expand the services<br />
at Evexias by providing a headache clinic and branching into<br />
concussion services.<br />
We are looking forward to being part of your journey to<br />
recovery and beyond. Contact the team on 03 974 9024 or visit<br />
www.evexias.co.nz to make an online booking, find profiles on<br />
the team or see the complete list and description of services.<br />

KIWI ENTERTAINERS<br />
Lynda and Jools Topp have<br />
spoken out about their “hard”<br />
journey with cancer, thanking<br />
their fans across the world for<br />
the support and love.<br />
The Topp Twins announced<br />
in March that they were both<br />
fighting breast cancer.<br />
Jools was diagnosed with<br />
breast cancer 16 years ago and<br />
after having chemotherapy,<br />
went into remission.<br />
However, this year she<br />
discovered that her cancer<br />
has metastasised, and started<br />
radiation therapy.<br />
In December 2021, Lynda<br />
was diagnosed with grade 3<br />
invasive breast cancer.<br />
She underwent a double<br />
mastectomy and started a harrowing<br />
six months of intensive<br />
chemotherapy.<br />
The famous sisters spent<br />
more than four months apart<br />
during their treatment due to<br />
the Covid-19 pandemic but<br />
managed to get together for<br />
their recent birthday.<br />
Last week they posted an<br />
update on their Facebook<br />
FIGHTERS: The Topp Twins are both going through cancer treatment and have<br />
thanked fans for their support.<br />

Michael House caps a<br />
memorable week<br />
with a winning double<br />
Last lap overtake<br />
earns Zach title<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
ZACH TUCKER has accelerated<br />
past another career goal, with the<br />
talented Prebbleton kart racer<br />
winning overseas at the first<br />
attempt.<br />
The 11-year-old kept his nerve<br />
after being overtaken late in final<br />
of his cadet 12 class at the City<br />
of Melbourne Titles on Sunday,<br />
coolly executing a passing manoeuvre<br />
as the chequered flag<br />
loomed at the end of 17 hotlycontested<br />
laps.<br />
Zach, who represents New<br />
Zealand at October’s ROK<br />
Superfinal in Italy, qualified in<br />
pole position at the culmination<br />
of two days of racing in his<br />
36-strong division.<br />
“There was lots of pressure. I<br />
led all the way until the third to<br />
last corner but I passed him back<br />
on the hair pin with one corner<br />
to go,” he said.<br />
“I’m very proud of our team<br />
and I really appreciate all the<br />
messages of support from friends<br />
and family,” he said.<br />
Zach qualified to race in Italy<br />
after defending his Vortex Mini<br />
ROK national title in Wellington<br />
in June.<br />
Before racing overseas for<br />
the first time, Tucker also secured<br />
his first national schools<br />
title in Invercargill, claiming<br />
the Vortex Mini ROX crown last<br />
month.<br />
Zach’s coach Matt Hamilton<br />
was convinced the Medbury<br />
School pupil was destined to<br />
achieve his long-term goal of<br />
emulating Shane van Gisbergen<br />
and driving across the Tasman<br />
in the Supercars Championship.<br />
“I’ve no doubt Zach has what<br />
it takes to succeed. Over the past<br />
three seasons he’s been almost<br />
unbeatable.”<br />
• By Joshua Smith<br />
MICHAEL HOUSE capped a<br />
memorable week with a winning<br />
double at Addington Raceway<br />
on Sunday.<br />
Earlier in the week the<br />
dual code trainer claimed the<br />
gavelhouse.com Newcomer to<br />
Training Award for his deeds in<br />
thoroughbred racing, fulfilling a<br />
lifelong passion.<br />
Fresh off the high of receiving<br />
the award, House was pleased<br />
to visit the winner’s circle at<br />
Addington Raceway twice on<br />
Sunday courtesy of Maximilian<br />
in the King Of Swing Standing<br />
At Cobbitty Equine Mobile Pace<br />
(1980m) and Santanna Mach<br />
in the Locharburn Standing At<br />
Phoebe Stallion Handicap Pace<br />
(2600m).<br />
It was the third win of the<br />
season for Maximilian, a gelding<br />
House races in partnership with<br />
Bruce Negus, and he was happy<br />
to reward his fellow trainer with<br />
the victory.<br />
“S Wigg in an amateur race,<br />
off the front, he was always going<br />
forward. He tried to throw<br />
it away but he won the race,”<br />
House said of Maximilian.<br />
“Bruce Negus and I have won<br />
a lot of races together. He is a<br />
great guy and has been rewarded<br />
for his desire to have horses<br />
racing.<br />
“We will just see what happens<br />
over the next few weeks. The<br />
programme is a bit average for<br />
the low-grade horses, they are<br />
all jelled in and mixed up. It is<br />
pretty hard to be tactical in what<br />
you do.”<br />
Later on the card House<br />
was back in the winner’s circle<br />
welcoming back Santanna Mach<br />
after his 13th career victory.<br />
“He is one of those horses we<br />
play snakes and ladders with<br />
and he found his race today,”<br />
House said.<br />
“He will hopefully get another<br />
<strong>10</strong>0 starts and 13 wins over the<br />
next couple of years.<br />
“He is very sound and easy to<br />
train. He will be around for a<br />
long time that horse.”<br />
Reflecting on his Newcomer to<br />
Training Award, House said he<br />
is realising his dream of training<br />
thoroughbreds, his initial passion<br />
in racing.<br />
“It is testament to great staff. I<br />
am living my dream a little bit.<br />
I probably should have been in<br />
thoroughbreds from the start,”<br />
House said.<br />
“My passion is the thoroughbreds.<br />
When I was 15, I knew<br />
I was going to be too big to be<br />
a jockey, so I went to a harness<br />
stable.<br />
“I have only done this (train<br />
thoroughbreds) because I have<br />
got two beautiful fillies that I<br />
have bred out of Ombre Rose,<br />
a Group One mare that we<br />
raced.<br />
“I was desperate to train a<br />
couple of her progeny. We sold a<br />
lot of foals out of the family and<br />
have made good money out of it,<br />
and I wanted to stay in, so I bred<br />
to affordable stallions in Zed<br />
and Zacinto.<br />
“That is my future in<br />
thoroughbred racing, plus<br />
whatever horses we buy off<br />
gavelhouse.”<br />

REFLECTIVE: Chris Cairns is staying positive 12 months after his serious<br />
health scare.<br />
PHOTO: INSTAGRAM<br />
Chris Cairns reveals life<br />
lessons after brutal year<br />
CHRIS CAIRNS has<br />
opened up on what he’s<br />
learned 12 months on<br />
from a serious health scare<br />
that he says “would impact<br />
every aspect of my life”.<br />
The 52-year-old former<br />
cricketer and Cantabrian<br />
suffered a life-threatening<br />
heart attack last year,<br />
resulting in an aortic dissection,<br />
or a tear in the<br />
inner layer of the body’s<br />
main artery.<br />
He also suffered a spinal<br />
stroke and received a cancer<br />
diagnosis just months<br />
later.<br />
Following multiple surgeries,<br />
rehabilitation and<br />
chemotherapy, Cairns took<br />
time to reflect on the last<br />
year in an Instagram post<br />
he labelled “reflections<br />
from 12 months on”.<br />
“It is a year today that I<br />
was admitted to hospital<br />
with an aortic dissection,<br />
an event that would<br />
impact every aspect of my<br />
life (and those around me)<br />
in ways I never imagined<br />
possible. As I reflect on all<br />
that has happened there<br />
are three key takeaways<br />
that I will carry forward<br />
with me,” he wrote on the<br />
social media platform.<br />
“1. Set the direction,<br />
not the destination. I now<br />
use a compass to navigate<br />
rather than a GPS, setting<br />
my North Star towards<br />
where I am heading, but<br />
very alive to the fact that<br />
there will be unintended<br />
stops, delays and some<br />
rerouting.<br />
“2. Life is what happens<br />
between the plans you<br />
make. Mel (Cairns’ wife)<br />
reminded me recently that<br />
I needed to stay present.<br />
I have always been guilty<br />
of focusing on the future<br />
and rushing to get where<br />
I was going. Saying things<br />
like ‘once XXX happens,<br />
then it will be the start.’<br />
WICKET-TAKER: Chris<br />
Cairns in action with<br />
the Black Caps.<br />
I’ve also looked back and<br />
wondered if I could have<br />
done something differently<br />
to avoid being where I am<br />
today. Chemo can feel like<br />
Groundhog Day, but I have<br />
found that taking it day<br />
by day (and even hour by<br />
hour when needed) has<br />
given me the ability to<br />
stay in the moment and<br />
I find that calming. It<br />
also helps to focus on the<br />
little things, watching the<br />
kids play sport, helping<br />
with homework, reading<br />
books, dinners with family<br />
and friends …these little<br />
things, strung together<br />
are no longer taken for<br />
granted.”<br />
Cairns finished his<br />
thoughtful post by saying<br />
he wants to “pay it forward”<br />
after everything he’s<br />
been through.<br />
“3. Find your purpose.<br />
You are always evolving<br />
and who you were isn’t<br />
always who you will be.<br />
We often define ourselves<br />
by what we do, but recently<br />
I’ve been able to engage<br />
with different groups of<br />
people and find that my<br />
story has an impact. Not<br />
just the outcome of my<br />
medical events, but the<br />
roller coaster of triumph<br />
and disaster that is life and<br />
that at varying degrees<br />
everyone encounters. I<br />
have been told by people<br />
far smarter than me, that<br />
there is no medical reason<br />
I should have survived - so<br />
I will assume that I have<br />
been given a gift and I will<br />
do what I can to pay it<br />
forward.”<br />
In an interview with<br />
the Between Two Beers<br />
podcast, Cairns said he<br />
now has a positive outlook<br />
of life and is determined<br />
to make the most of his<br />
second chance.<br />
“I’m no different from<br />
anyone else … there’s no<br />
secret recipe.<br />
“It’s choice, fundamentally.<br />
The human race is<br />
gifted with an asset in the<br />
mind that allows you to<br />
choose your reaction to<br />
any situation.<br />
“That is the most important<br />
thing you possess, and<br />
at times people don’t tap<br />
into that.<br />
“It’s easy to be a victim,<br />
easier for it to be someone<br />
else’s fault … to be unlucky.<br />
“I just never carried that<br />
mentality. Maybe that was<br />
through cricket or other<br />
things in my life … that<br />
choice aspect is always the<br />
most important.<br />
“Of course, I will burst<br />
into tears or feel horrible,<br />
but I quickly try to<br />
transition out of that. The<br />
key things in all of this are<br />
choice and purpose.”<br />

A dAy out in dArfield<br />
Visit Darfield<br />
There’s nothing quite like taking a drive in the<br />
country, especially if you are heading towards<br />
breathtaking scenery – green farmlands and snowclad<br />
mountains.<br />
Darfield offers the perfect daycation. This unique<br />
country town has much to offer from a relaxed lifestyle<br />
to a variety of locally owned businesses. Whether you’re<br />
stopping for an hour or visiting for a few hours, there’s<br />
something for everyone – gifts for all ages, flowers for<br />
every occasion, the latest in family hair design, hotel<br />
dining, paddock to plate butchery, service station with<br />
dog wash and laundry services, local law firm, building<br />
supplies, tyre services, real estate, chainsaw and mower<br />
services plus a stunning golf course nearby.<br />
Darfield art and<br />
history ramble<br />
While you’re there take in some local art and history.<br />
Start at the clock tower at the corner of South Terrace<br />
and Ross Streets, cross over to the other side of the<br />
street. Then head east along South Terrace (the main<br />
street) past the shops. If you’re visiting on a Saturday<br />
morning, chances are you’ll find the local market set<br />
up along the green common near the railway station<br />
selling a variety of crafts, plants, books and goods.<br />
Continue along until you reach the historic 1915<br />
jail, further along you’ll find the town’s muraled toilet<br />
complete with painted images of local mountain<br />
ranges gracing its exterior walls. Continue until you<br />
are opposite Darfield’s Te Huanui Gallery – after you’ve<br />
enjoyed a visit to the gallery, continue your walk back<br />
towards the town centre. Stop when you reach Tussock<br />
Square and take some time to check out the bronze<br />
plaques, crafted to depict the history of Darfield.<br />
Take a leisurely walk back to the shopping centre and<br />
enjoy some time shopping or finish off with a coffee<br />
or a meal at one of the local cafes. While you’re in the<br />
town, don’t forget to try one of Darfield’s famously big<br />
ice creams from the local dairy.<br />

Hidden<br />
talents<br />
emerging<br />
in Malvern<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> is known for its creative<br />
communities and none more so than<br />
in the Malvern area. Here you’ll find<br />
writers and authors, both published and<br />
unpublished, tucked away in the foothills<br />
and plains, most likely bent over their<br />
computer, tapping away, honing their craft.<br />
A new group called the Malvern Writers’<br />
Café created a year ago has taken off<br />
with 14 members on its email list so far.<br />
The purpose of the group is for writers<br />
and authors to come together, share<br />
their expertise, publishing experiences<br />
and resources plus support one another<br />
through the writing journey.<br />
The group meets on the second Tuesday<br />
of each month at the Darfield library from<br />
<strong>10</strong>am to 12pm to discuss their work in<br />
A dAy out in dArfield<br />
progress and set up writing challenges<br />
for the following month. Genres covered<br />
but not limited to by the group include<br />
children’s books, travel, romance,<br />
historical, women’s fiction, contemporary,<br />
biography, plus short stories, flash fiction<br />
and poetry.<br />
Spokesperson Fi Maddison says the<br />
group is also about creating an awareness<br />
of the writing talent in the area – some are<br />
yet to come out of the cupboard – while<br />
others are giving it a go for the first time<br />
or have already been writing for a number<br />
of years. It doesn’t matter what stage<br />
people are at, the Malvern Writer’s Café<br />
offers writers of fiction and non-fiction a<br />
friendly, supportive and non-judgmental<br />
environment.<br />
The Malvern Writers’ Café has just run<br />
its first one-day mini writing retreat, which<br />
included speaker and author Alyse Boaz,<br />
who presented a two-hour workshop on<br />
marketing in the morning, followed by<br />
lunch and dedicated writing time in the<br />
afternoon. There are also plans to host<br />
author readings; run writing competitions<br />
open to the public and to showcase and<br />
sell locally authored and published books<br />
within the township and further increase<br />
the awareness of local talent to the reading<br />
community.<br />
The group welcomes writers locally and<br />
from throughout the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district. To<br />
find out more, email fimaddison@gmail.<br />

Malvern Writers’ Café.<br />
Famous for<br />
The Queen and Prince Phillip visited<br />
Darfield via train on 19 January 1954,<br />
as part of their New Zealand Royal<br />
Tour. According to A View From<br />
Tussock Square written by Margaret<br />
E. Knowles, the train missed the red<br />
carpet for the Queen to step onto the<br />
platform by “a yard or two”. Children<br />
from the local Malvern schools waited<br />
in great anticipation to greet the Queen,<br />
waiving small British flags and the local<br />
Horticulture Society decorated the arch<br />
at the end of the railway with flowers in<br />
honour of the Queen’s visit.<br />
ADVERTISEMENT<br />
Darfield is so much more<br />
than just a place to stop by<br />
When the former New Zealand Post space<br />
came available, on the corner of McMillan<br />
Street and South Terrace, Tavendale and<br />
Partners leapt at the opportunity to secure<br />
a permanent presence within the Darfield<br />
Community.<br />
Celebrating their 21st birthday this<br />
year, your local lawyers have a team<br />
of approximately 70 that work fluidly<br />
throughout their Canterbury offices. Their<br />
new Darfield office is now a favourite<br />
amongst staff with beautiful views of the<br />
snow-topped Southern Alps.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> District council has established<br />
the “Township Network” to ensure<br />
that future development is compact<br />
and walkable and to ensure there are<br />
appropriate locations for new businesses<br />
to establish. We are excited to see the<br />
rural township of Darfield growing in a<br />
structured way and hope it will maintain<br />
its charm and appeal.<br />
Like Tavendale and Partners, Darfield<br />
could be the place for you to extend your<br />
roots and to invest in. Perhaps you are<br />
considering accepting new employment<br />
in the area, or establishing your business,<br />
investing in a new family home, or settling<br />
down as retirement beckons. You can<br />
contact Kate Warren at Tavendale and<br />
Partners to discuss any of these things<br />
(and more) on 03 317 9099 – further<br />
details below.<br />
Yesterday’s neighbours are tomorrows<br />
locals and therefore we encourage you to<br />
take a day out in Darfield to check out all it<br />
has to offer.<br />

GARDENING<br />
Spring is around the corner – prepare now<br />
MANY GARDENS are<br />
resplendent with the<br />
flowers of azaleas, camellias,<br />
rhododendrons, and flowering<br />
cherries this month. The fact that<br />
spring is close provides some<br />
comfort during this cold, wet<br />
month when we are all tired of<br />
winter.<br />
House plant care<br />
Winter can be a difficult time<br />
for many houseplants, those that<br />
have survived to <strong>August</strong> are pretty<br />
robust and/or have been lovingly<br />
cared for! The key aspects of<br />
houseplant care over winter are,<br />
good light, a warm environment,<br />
sufficient water (but not over<br />
watering), misting of foliage and<br />
regular inspection to check for<br />
any early signs of problems.<br />
Vegetable garden<br />
Keep harvesting your winter<br />
vegetables including broccoli,<br />
brussels sprouts, cabbage,<br />
cauliflower, carrots, kale, leeks,<br />
lettuce, parsnips, rhubarb, silver<br />
beet, spinach, and turnips.<br />
Replant seedlings of broccoli,<br />
cabbage, kale, lettuce, silver beet<br />
and spinach to ensure supplies<br />
of these vegetables in spring and<br />
early summer. Seeds of traditional<br />
summer vegetables can be sown<br />
into seed trays and kept in a<br />
glasshouse.<br />
In the flower bed<br />
Winter flowering annuals are<br />
now near the end of their<br />
best displays. Calendulas,<br />
cornflowers, pansies,<br />
snapdragons, stock, violas, and<br />
wall flowers all provide excellent<br />
late winter flowering. Top up<br />
any plantings with potted colour,<br />
such as winter annuals grown to<br />
flowering size when available for<br />
sale.<br />
Blooming bulbs<br />
Numerous bulbs flower this<br />
month, providing a delightful<br />
burst of colour and fragrance in<br />
the winter garden, these include<br />
daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths,<br />
muscari, and lachenalias. Other<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
USEFUL: Always use fresh container mix when establishing<br />
hanging plants.<br />
bulbs will follow early next<br />
month.<br />
Strawberries<br />
Even though it’s winter, existing<br />
strawberry plants will be growing,<br />
and producing flowers towards<br />
the end of <strong>August</strong>. These flowers<br />
should be removed as the fruit<br />
that forms will not grow to<br />
maturity. Remove any weeds that<br />
appear among the strawberry<br />
plants as they compete for water<br />
and nutrients. If you haven’t put<br />
any strawberries in yet, it’s not too<br />
late! You can source established<br />
strawberry plants from your<br />
local supplier and plant through<br />
until early spring for a bumper<br />
summer crop.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
A prolific month for harvesting<br />
a number of citrus fruit such as<br />
lemons, limes, late mandarins<br />
(clementine), navel oranges and<br />
grapefruit. Remember to give all<br />
pip and stone fruit trees a spray of<br />
copper oxychloride to help reduce<br />
an outbreak of fungal diseases in<br />
spring.<br />
Feijoa trees can be pruned by<br />
thinning out dense branches.<br />
Allowing better light and air<br />
movement through the plant<br />
leads to improved fruiting.<br />
Container gardens<br />
Containers and even hanging<br />
baskets are very useful in winter<br />
for growing salad greens and<br />
herbs or for providing colour on<br />
decks and patios. When starting a<br />
HARDY: It’s not<br />
too late to plant<br />
strawberries<br />
for a bumper<br />
summer crop.<br />
new crop or flower display, always<br />
clean the container thoroughly<br />
and use fresh container mix.<br />
Rose Care<br />
Complete the planting of new<br />
specimens into the rose garden,<br />
taking care not to damage<br />
the roots and adding plenty<br />
of compost. Also apply fresh<br />
compost around existing plants,<br />
the first of the new season’s<br />
growth will appear towards the<br />
end of the month.<br />
Planting ornamental trees<br />
and shrubs<br />
<strong>August</strong> is a very safe month for<br />
planting large deciduous trees<br />
(drop their leaves in autumn)<br />
and any ornamental shrubs and<br />
trees. Ensure planting sites are<br />
well prepared by adding compost.<br />
Stake new trees if they are planted<br />
in windy areas.<br />
Garden<br />
In the<br />
with intelligro<br />
<strong>August</strong> is a great time to start your preparation for<br />
spring gardening. Plan out what you would like to<br />
plant in existing gardens, or if you are starting from<br />
scratch have a look at some inspiration for what<br />
you could create at home. Need help with the<br />
design? We can point you in the right direction.<br />
Preparation is key. Here are a few<br />
things you can do to get started:<br />
• Dig compost through existing gardens<br />
to give them a boost<br />
• Decide what veggies you want to grow<br />
• Raise seeds<br />
• Choose what you want to grow in e.g.<br />
a planter box or raised bed<br />

Get adventurous in a RAV4 hybrid<br />
IF EVER THERE was indication<br />
of the direction the automotive<br />
world is heading in terms of<br />
electrification, it has to be the<br />
decision of one of my good<br />
friends.<br />
You see, he’s long been a Holden<br />
owner, and while he still owns<br />
a classic Brougham, he has just<br />
sold his pride and joy – a 2017<br />
Walkinshaw Commodore SSV – a<br />
car claimed to be Holden’s most<br />
powerful.<br />
Not only did that surprise me,<br />
but his big V8 has been replaced by<br />
a Tesla and a Toyota RAV4 hybrid.<br />
I know my friend is sorry to see<br />
the Holden go, but he says that<br />
with changing times and being<br />
in the professional field he felt<br />
he needed to set an example and<br />
drive something less taxing on the<br />
environment.<br />
Now, I’m not knocking his<br />
choice of new transport and, as it<br />
turns out, the RAV4 hybrid is on a<br />
shortlist of models my wife and I<br />
are considering as we contemplate<br />
the purchase of a new car. But the<br />
point I’m making is that the buying<br />
public is well aware electric vehicles<br />
and hybrids are taking control of<br />
the new car market. Toyota claims<br />
the RAV4 hybrid as one of its best<br />
selling models, often selling second<br />
to Hilux on a month by month<br />
basis.<br />
Bear in mind too, that you don’t<br />
have to buy the RAV4 with Toyota’s<br />
hybrid synergy drive system,<br />
conventional driveline variants are<br />
included.<br />
The RAV4 hybrid line-up has just<br />
been extended. Two new models<br />
have been added – Adventure<br />
and XSE. Just like its non-hybrid<br />
stablemate, the Adventure gets a<br />
body kit and interior treatment that<br />
makes it stand out markedly from<br />
the rest of the range. If you like<br />
bold and brash it is the car for you,<br />
large fenders, aggressive bumper<br />
and grille, and big wheels are there<br />
to tempt. Inside, there is also bright<br />
orange detailing.<br />
The Adventure is in the line-up<br />
as a point of difference, and after a<br />
week in the car I can certainly see<br />
its appeal, it looks a little bit rugged<br />
and it has appeal in that way. It is<br />
also the model that my friend now<br />
owns.<br />
I also genuinely believe the<br />
Adventure model could be used as<br />
a vehicle that would take you offroad<br />
and into the backblocks. You<br />
see, the RAV4 has had a fairly good<br />
reputation for cross-country work<br />
and just because it is a hybrid that<br />
doesn’t change anything. The fourwheel-drive<br />
network, along with a<br />
slight suspension elevation, is such<br />
that it will cope well with a bit of a<br />
pounding on those gnarly tracks.<br />
More importantly, I suspect it<br />
will be the model of choice if you<br />
are a winter sport enthusiast, I can<br />
see many sitting in the Mt Hutt ski<br />
field car park.<br />
There are no surprises under<br />
RUGGED LOOKS: The RAV4 Adventure has aggressive<br />
styling to go along with its off-road capability.<br />
TOYOTA RAV4 ADVENTURE: Choice of conventional or hybrid driveline.<br />
• Price – Toyota RAV4<br />
Adventure hybrid, $57,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
46<strong>10</strong>mm; width, 1855mm;<br />
height, 1690mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2487cc, 131kW, 221Nm,<br />
continuously variable<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-<strong>10</strong>0km/h, 8.1sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.3l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />
the bonnet, Toyota’s 2.5-litre<br />
hybrid system is well proven and<br />
has become an established part<br />
of the fuel-saving drivelines that<br />
are now so important in a vehicle.<br />
Without delving too deep into the<br />
intricacies of the system it works<br />
simply like this – the four-cylinder<br />
petrol engine drives much like<br />
conventional power; however, it<br />
also charges the batteries that, in<br />
turn, power an electric motor that<br />
works in tandem with the engine<br />
to supply drive through a continuously<br />
variable transmission. The<br />
whole system cycles constantly, the<br />
benefit being less of a load on the<br />
engine and, consequently, lower<br />
fuel usage.<br />
The RAV4 as a series has a fairly<br />
respectable fuel usage figure, the<br />
non-hybrid claimed to return<br />
6.7-litres per <strong>10</strong>0km. All hybrids<br />
are listed at 5.3l/<strong>10</strong>0km, which, by<br />
my reckoning, is a fairly healthy<br />
figure and quite achievable. The<br />
fuel usage readout was sitting constantly<br />
at a respectable 6.5l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />
during the 280km I drove in the<br />
evaluation model. At <strong>10</strong>0km/h on<br />
the open road the instantaneous<br />
figure is around a thrifty 4l/<strong>10</strong>0km.<br />
I didn’t venture off-road during<br />
my time in the evaluation car, the<br />
weather was filthy across the plains<br />
and I don’t like returning media<br />
evaluation cars untidy. However, I<br />
can report that it is a fabulous open<br />
road tourer. It sits tightly and quietly<br />
on the road, and when those<br />
long Canterbury straights run out<br />
and tight corners present themselves<br />
the RAV4 steers directly into<br />
a bend and the complexity of the<br />
suspension quickly sits composed<br />
and controls body movement.<br />
I mentioned big wheels before,<br />
the Adventure model gets Yokohama<br />
tyres at 235/55 x 19in. They<br />
are a new compound to me but<br />
they equip themselves well with<br />
solid feedback towards the steering<br />
wheel and quiet coarse chip seal<br />
movement.<br />
All factors considered, the RAV4<br />
hybrid is a comfortable touring<br />
car, well it’s a comfortable car at<br />
all speeds and circumstances, and<br />
I guess with its $57,990 figure for<br />
the Adventure model it is stretching<br />
towards the luxury car market.<br />
Bear in mind, though, the RAV4<br />
range starts at $38,990, the hybrid<br />
models starting at $46,990. All<br />
RAV4 hybrids are eligible for a<br />
Clean Car Programme rebate of<br />
over $2000, the Adventure amounting<br />
to $2335.69.<br />
If you want all the bells and whistles<br />
along with in-your-face adornments,<br />
then the Adventure is there<br />
for those who like to be seen, or<br />
who like bold colours and designs.<br />
In terms of fitment, it is a model<br />
that wants for nothing, although I<br />
could do without the video screen<br />
that acts as the interior rear view<br />
mirror, I found it confused my<br />
senses a little. Other than that, the<br />
RAV4 is laid out with ease of use<br />
and it has an intuitive layout.<br />
Toyota has made good use of<br />
the RAV4’s generous proportions,<br />
there are a host of storage pockets<br />
and cubby holes that will easily<br />
take care of those loose items that<br />
we generally travel with, including<br />
a tray for your mobile phone that<br />
will charge it as you drive.<br />
While I’ve long considered<br />
the 2.5-litre Toyota driveline as<br />
being the best hybrid system in<br />
the market, so must many others,<br />
delivery of a new RAV4 hybrid is<br />
pushed out to around 12 months.<br />
How that affects the decision my<br />
wife and I are making hasn’t quite<br />
yet come into focus, but I’m sure<br />
if we do head in that direction the<br />
RAV4 would be well worth the<br />
wait.<br />

Every now and then, a home comes along that is just a little something out of the ordinary, and 16 Russell Lilley Drive,<br />
Rolleston is certainly that. From the moment you walk into this 314m2 family home, you will be struck by the thoughtful<br />
design and quality of build throughout. The modern kitchen, complete with large, walk in pantry, features top of the line<br />
appliances and is the home chef's dream. The kitchen flows perfectly into the open plan dining/living area, which in turn links<br />
to the outdoor entertaining area. Whether it's family living or entertaining large groups, this is a wonderful space. A separate<br />
lounge provides a peaceful setting or alternatively can be opened up so that the total living area can be used as one. The<br />
master bedroom is one of the many features of this home and offers a generous adult retreat. It is complete with a large walk<br />
in robe and quality tiled ensuite. The three additional bedrooms are good sized doubles and are supported by the large family<br />
bathroom with tiled shower and bath, as well as a separate toilet. You will never be lacking for storage space in this family<br />
home, with a walk-in storage/linen cupboard as well as ample storage.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Brighten up your home<br />
23<br />
Many homes, whether a new build or<br />
an existing house, benefit from installing<br />
a skylight, roof window or sun tunnel.<br />
Apart from the dramatic effect created<br />
and increased daytime light in your<br />
home, there are other practical reasons<br />
for adding these fixtures.<br />
Skylights are sometimes referred to<br />
as “roof windows”, but traditionally, a<br />
skylight cannot be opened while a roof<br />
window can.<br />
Roof windows are outward opening<br />
windows designed to be installed in<br />
the same orientation and plane as the<br />
surrounding roof at a minimum pitch<br />
and are incorporated at the design stage.<br />
Roof windows are usually bigger than<br />
skylights, allowing high-level ventilation<br />
and having electric or manual opener<br />
options. Also, technology can now be<br />
integrated, including rain sensors with<br />
an electric opener providing automatic<br />
closing if it rains, dimmers with a remote,<br />
or ventilation kits.<br />
Sun tunnels have a roof-mounted lens<br />
connected to a diffuser in the ceiling<br />
via highly reflective aluminium tunnels.<br />
This tunnel brings the light from outside<br />
into areas such as hallways, walk-in<br />
wardrobes, bathrooms, laundry rooms,<br />
and pantries.<br />
Health and well-being<br />
Exposure to natural light is essential<br />
for our well-being as sunlight helps<br />
our bodies produce Vitamin D. This<br />
vitamin is needed to regulate our moods<br />
and energy, and bedroom skylights can<br />
also aid in regulating sleep patterns. In<br />
addition, having opening roof windows<br />
can provide ventilation and enable hot<br />
air to escape from the room. Nowadays,<br />
these systems can be opened and closed<br />
electronically or even sensor-based to<br />
measure temperature, humidity, and CO2<br />
levels. An opening skylight will prevent<br />
mould and mildew in a bathroom by<br />
releasing steam and condensation while<br />
not giving up privacy.<br />
Privacy<br />
You’ll want to maintain privacy in<br />
certain areas of your home, such as<br />
bathrooms and bedrooms. However,<br />
with houses built on smaller sections<br />
and closer to surrounding properties,<br />
you’ll still need access to plenty of<br />
natural light and preserve privacy. In this<br />
situation, roof-mounted sun tunnels,<br />
skylights and roof windows come into<br />
their own. Installed on your roof, it is<br />
unlikely (unless nearby properties are<br />
significantly higher than your own) that<br />
people would be able to view these areas<br />
in your home.<br />
Energy saving<br />
These fixtures provide excellent natural<br />
light into spaces and less reliance on<br />
artificial lighting. You know they’re<br />
effective when people think a light has<br />
been left on. Technological advances,<br />
including double-glazing and specialised<br />
coatings, effectively block most UV light<br />
and restrict heat build-up in summer.<br />
Also, the correct installation of units with<br />
thermal collars ensures excellent energy<br />
and thermal efficiency.<br />
Bring in that allimportant<br />
natural<br />
light to help<br />
your well-being,<br />
ensure privacy<br />
and save money<br />
while brightening<br />
up any area with<br />
a skylight, roof<br />
window or sun<br />
tunnel.<br />
