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 />

Overall the average property<br />

dropped 2.7 per cent in the<br />

last three months, reflecting<br />

the downturn across New<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 />

sometime.<br />

• By Susan Sandys<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 />

resident. Mike Morton found the<br />

phone in the early hours of the<br />

it had not yielded any useful<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 />

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 />

Pak’nSave at Rolleston.<br />

Hearing commissioner David<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 />

outside<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.

NEWS 11<br />

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 />

has a team of three fulltime<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 />

“It has been eight months<br />

since Lynda was diagnosed<br />

with grade 3 breast cancer and<br />

six months since Jools was<br />

discovered with a new tumour<br />

in her rib cage,” they said.<br />

“We are both alive and<br />

kicking but it has been a<br />

pretty hard journey of surgery<br />

chemo and for Jools radiation<br />

therapy.<br />

“The love and support we<br />

have had from Kiwis and fans<br />

around the world has been<br />

amazing and we thank each<br />

and every one of you who have<br />

sent messages and donated to<br />

our Givealittle page.<br />

“To all of you lots of love.”<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 />

smooth transition to Australian circuits, winning his class at<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 />

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 />

Rolleston 16 Russell Lilley Drive<br />

The Ultimate Family Home!<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 />

hectare property in the relaxed rural setting of Motukarara. The primary dwelling includes effortless access out to<br />

the sheltered deck well-suited to year-round living and entertaining. The second dwelling has an internal access<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 />
