Smashed it: Shearer<br />

reclaims world record<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

GROWING UP in West<br />

Melton put Aidan Copp on<br />

a pathway to world record<br />

success.<br />

At a solo record attempt<br />

in Tasmania, the 37-year-old<br />

attained the highest number of<br />

crossbred lambs shorn in eight<br />

hours – 605 – smashing the<br />

previous record of 527.<br />

He sweated it out in<br />

35-degree heat, on a mission to<br />

reclaim the record he had first<br />

attained in 2019, when he’d<br />

shorn 524 sheep.<br />

Now, living in the town of<br />

Gunning in southern New<br />

South Wales, Copp told the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> he first became<br />

interested in shearing while<br />

growing up on a lifestyle block<br />

at West Melton.<br />

He spent a lot of time helping<br />

a neighbouring farmer as a<br />

weekend and after school<br />

job.<br />

“Whenever they used to do<br />

the shearing on his place, I was<br />

the first one in there as a little<br />

fellow, picking up the fleece<br />

and stuff,” Copp said.<br />

EPIC EFFORT: Aidan Copp<br />

has broken the world<br />

record by shearing 605<br />

crossbred lambs in eight<br />

hours, taking back the title<br />

from a rival who broke his<br />

previous record.<br />

Rolleston<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

CARTER GROUP is determined<br />

to push Rolleston out west as the<br />

company prepares to launch its<br />

second appeal relating to the area.<br />

Currently Dunns Crossing Rd<br />

forms the western boundary of<br />

the town, but Carter Group wants<br />

to establish 3770 sections in four<br />

separate blocks along the undeveloped<br />

side of the road, from<br />

State Highway One to <strong>Selwyn</strong> Rd.<br />

The company was turned down<br />

last year by the district council for<br />

two of the blocks, accounting for<br />

2100 sections, a decision it has appealed<br />

to the Environment Court.<br />

The company is likely to<br />

be turned down soon for the<br />

remaining two blocks, following<br />

a hearing commissioner recommendation<br />

last month.<br />

Commissioner Paul Thomas<br />

recommended the district<br />

council decline the Carter Group<br />

rezoning applications, named<br />

Plan Change 81 and Plan Change<br />

82, pertaining to the two blocks.<br />

Huge, awesome,<br />

spectacular, beautiful<br />

and stunning were the<br />

words Darfield residents<br />

used to describe a double<br />

rainbow over their town<br />

on Thursday about<br />

8.45pm. Resident Sean<br />

Tully (pictured) said he<br />

was having tea with his<br />

family when his 13-yearold<br />

daughter Susanna<br />

told him to look outside.<br />

He was awestruck by the<br />

brilliance of the inner<br />

rainbow, and that it had a<br />

complete second rainbow<br />

encircling it. In his travels<br />

around the world as both<br />

a British Army soldier<br />

and British Airways airline<br />

pilot in the past, he had<br />

never seen one as vivid<br />

nor as complete. “I have<br />

never seen a rainbow like<br />

it in my life,” he said. He<br />

shared a photo taken by<br />

Susanna on social media,<br />

where fellow Darfield<br />

residents described their<br />

experiences of seeing<br />

the rainbow. MetService<br />

meteorologist Karl Loots<br />

said it was rare to have<br />

such a complete double<br />

rainbow. Rainbows were<br />

formed when raindrops<br />

in the atmosphere<br />

refracted light from the<br />

sun. A double rainbow<br />

was caused by light being<br />

refracted twice within the<br />

droplets.<br />

Tourists<br />

fail to stop,<br />

Tesla hire<br />

car ruined<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

A $140,000 Tesla hire car was<br />

extensively damaged in a two-car<br />

crash last Thursday.<br />

Hororata Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

chief Bruce Sayer said the driver<br />

failed to stop at a stop sign at the<br />

intersection of Coleridge Rd and<br />

Scenic Route 72 at Windwhistle.<br />

While the driver and three passengers<br />

suffered minor injuries<br />

following the crash, the 2022 model<br />

car would most likely have to be<br />

written off. The group of overseas<br />

tourists had been visiting Terrace<br />

Downs, and were on their way back<br />

to their cruise ship at Lyttelton.<br />

Sayer was grateful no-one was seriously<br />

hurt in the crash, although<br />

two people from the vehicle that<br />

was hit were taken by ambulance to<br />

Ashburton with moderate injuries.<br />

He was also grateful that despite<br />

extensive damage to the Tesla it<br />

had not caught fire, as electric car<br />

battery fires in general were difficult<br />

to extinguish.<br />

“We wouldn’t have had enough<br />

water in the two trucks we had<br />

there to put it out. When they<br />

decide to burn, they go like a<br />

Roman candle,” Sayer said.<br />

Shearer’s self-belief<br />

propels him forward<br />

• From page 1<br />

He left St Thomas of<br />

Canterbury College at the end<br />

of year 9 to attend Telford Rural<br />

Polytechnic at Balclutha for one<br />

year.<br />

“I didn’t like school and I just<br />

wanted to be on the land doing<br />

something.”<br />

It was at the polytech where he<br />

got to first shear a sheep, at age<br />

15.<br />

“I loved it, the physicality of<br />

it, and also the money side of<br />

things. What some farm jobs<br />

paid in a week, shearers were<br />

making that in a day. It made<br />

sense to me if I could get the<br />

wool off these sheep, I could<br />

make a lot more.”<br />

At the age of 16 he was<br />

working full-time as a shearer,<br />

a job which has taken him<br />

throughout his home country<br />

as well as Australia, America<br />

and Europe. He has also been<br />

to the Himalayas, where he was<br />

involved in an initiative to teach<br />

local farmers how to machine<br />

shear so they could profit from<br />

their sheep.<br />

Today he runs his own<br />

shearing contract business,<br />

employing eight people, while<br />

shearing two days a week and<br />

spending other days in the<br />

gym training for world record<br />

attempts.<br />

Copp is the current holder of<br />

a second world title, as one of<br />

five team members who shore<br />

the most lambs in eight hours, a<br />

record attained in 2015.<br />

He is now gearing up for a<br />

solo record attempt in late May,<br />

for shearing the most merino<br />

ewes in eight hours. The current<br />

record is 497.<br />

“I want to get it over 500, I’m<br />

well into the 400s. I’m putting all<br />

the training in to have a decent<br />

attempt at it,” Copp said.<br />

His training regime is<br />

gruelling. After a full day in the<br />

shed shearing, he will head out<br />

for a 20km run with a weighted<br />

vest on, or hit the rowing<br />

machine for more than an hour.<br />

This stood him in good stead<br />

for the most recent world record<br />

success.<br />

“I knew I had the stamina and<br />

the cardio to back it up if things<br />

went my way,” Copp said.<br />

“Your body is telling you to<br />

ease up a bit, but you have to<br />

control your mind and sort of<br />

push through the pain.”<br />

The pain had been felt most in<br />

his lower back and legs, due to<br />

having to maintain a bent-over<br />

standing position for hours on<br />

end.<br />

Exhausted while talking to<br />

journalists after the event, Copp<br />

said he had not expected to shear<br />

as many sheep as he did.<br />

“I just tried to stay positive<br />

even though I was in a little bit of<br />

pain here and there, but I always<br />

believed in myself,” he said.<br />

Artists step outside<br />

the chair for charity<br />

• By Susan Sandys<br />

“WHAT ARE we going to do<br />

with these dusty old chairs?”<br />

That was the question<br />

Ellesmere Heritage Park Trust<br />

members had for each other as<br />

they cleared out items from the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Heritage Centre museum<br />

at Leeston. It was 2020, and<br />

they were referring to dozens of<br />

identical chairs that had been<br />

donated over the years.<br />

The stackable chairs, from<br />

Christchurch furniture<br />

manufacturer W. Toomey Ltd’s<br />

Staka range, were once a staple<br />

of schools, community halls and<br />

churches.<br />

Members decided the rather<br />

plain wooden seats could be<br />

transformed with a splash of<br />

paint, and soon became inspired<br />

by Christchurch’s Pop Up<br />

Penguins project, which saw<br />

colourfully decorated penguins<br />

displayed around the city.<br />

Today the old, dusty chairs<br />

have been turned into works of<br />

art, which will be individually<br />

auctioned off next month to raise<br />

funds for the museum.<br />

Chairs for Heritage co-convenor<br />

Mary Cameron said initially<br />

the project was to be held in<br />

2021, but was postponed due to<br />

Covid restrictions.<br />

Late last year they made about<br />

40 chairs available for artists and<br />

other members of the public to<br />

take away and paint, almost all of<br />

which have now been completed.<br />

Chairs are displayed at<br />

Lakeland Art Gallery, Leeston<br />

Library, some Leeston and<br />

Rolleston businesses, and the district<br />

council chambers. Further<br />

display areas are likely to be<br />

added prior to the auction.<br />

Cameron said not only had the<br />

chairs been painted but some had<br />

also been turned into sculptures<br />

– including a lake fly, a running<br />

man and a Scottish terrier.<br />

“A lot of people have really<br />

stepped outside the square and<br />

thought very creatively about<br />

what they are doing,” she said.<br />

“The fact that people have<br />

taken hours and hours of work<br />

to support our initiative, that’s<br />

wonderful.”<br />

Chair artists had been from all<br />

walks of life and all ages, and included<br />

identities such as Wonky<br />

Donkey writer Craig Smith, who<br />

had been invited to paint a chair<br />

by a trust volunteer who was a<br />

fan of his books, as well as mayor<br />

Sam Broughton and <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP<br />

Nicola Grigg.<br />

Cameron said money raised<br />

at the auction, to be held next<br />

month, would go towards<br />

turning the museum from a large<br />

tin shed into a fit-for-purpose<br />

building. People who could not<br />

make the auction were invited to<br />

put in silent bids prior.<br />

• The Chairs for Heritage<br />

auction will be on March<br />

26, 4.30pm, at Southbridge<br />

Town Hall. Silent bids can<br />

be emailed to mugs005@<br />

hotmail.com or ray.linda.<br />

and rising stars share festival stage<br />

• By Darryl Baser<br />

TWENTY years since Australian<br />

rockers Hoodoo Gurus last<br />

played in New Zealand, the band<br />

is set to headline <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds.<br />

Sir Dave Dobbyn, Gin<br />

Wigmore, Mi Sex, Stellar*, Greg<br />

Johnson, Blam Blam Blam and<br />

Zephyr will also grace the stage<br />

during the one day festival at<br />

Lincoln Domain on March 4.<br />

Fans of Hoodoo Gurus can<br />

look forward to hits like What’s<br />

my Scene, Like Wow – Wipe<br />

Out, Bittersweet and 1000 Miles<br />

Away.<br />

Wigmore, a United Statesbased<br />

Kiwi, will start her New<br />

Zealand tour at the event and<br />

Blam Blam Blam will be the first<br />

big name act to take the stage.<br />

Promoter David Parlane said<br />

the first band on stage at 11am<br />

will up-and-coming Canterbury<br />

group, Zephyr. The band features<br />

members of The Jehts, which<br />

won the Christchurch Smokefree<br />

Rockquest and were third in the<br />

national final.<br />

“They’re a group of four<br />

people, very much a classic rock<br />

band, they’ve got three original<br />

songs. I’ve been to a couple of<br />

their gigs and they’re a great little<br />

group.”<br />

Parlane and his business<br />

partner launched <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sounds in 2017 after a causal<br />

conversation over drinks.<br />

“Actually it was my business<br />

partner [Craig Bradford] idea.<br />

He said: ‘Why do we have to go<br />

into Christchurch to see music?’<br />

He then prompted me to do<br />

something about six months<br />

after that.”<br />

Thirty-five vendors will also be<br />

on site, selling everything from<br />

pizza and Indian food to coffee,<br />

ice cream and more.<br />

“It’s like a mini food festival,”<br />

Parlane said.<br />

Along with the opportunity<br />

to see and hear a great line<br />

up of bands, he says the event<br />

also benefits the community,<br />

with 200 staff employed on the<br />

day and local organisations<br />

supporting the event.<br />

“Lincoln High School students<br />

are looking after the car park<br />

and all the funds they gather<br />

from people parking there go<br />

directly back to [the] school.<br />

We have the leadership group<br />

from the high school helping<br />

us with scanning people at the<br />

gate. They’re the face of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sounds.<br />

“We also have the organisaton<br />

Red Frogs keeping an eye on<br />

people and helping people out<br />

if they need a drink of water or<br />

to ‘chill out’ somewhere. The<br />

Lincoln Lizards rugby team<br />

is running one of the bars,<br />

and that it part of their major<br />

fundraising,” Parlane said.<br />

He said the event promotes<br />

the district in New Zealand and<br />

Australia with Hoodoo Gurus<br />

on the bill. Due to the Covid<br />

restrictions, <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds was<br />

cancelled a month before it was<br />

to take place last year.<br />

“It was devastating for<br />

everybody – artists, crew the<br />

whole industry really,” Parlane<br />

said.<br />

He said the festival was “not a<br />

cheap exercise”, costing “millions<br />

of dollars” to put on.<br />

Tickets are still available.<br />

“It’s been an extremely<br />

“People have been holding off<br />

a little bit, but we are certainly<br />

starting to see a significant lift<br />

over the last seven days, and<br />

we are looking pretty good for<br />

another sell out event,” Parlane<br />

OUR PEOPLE 13<br />

Shell of a job for ex-fire chief<br />

Former Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Jeremy Greenwood has been a dedicated<br />

firefighter since he was a teenager. The 45-year-old spoke to Susan Sandys following his<br />

retirement after almost 30 years with the service<br />

When did you first join the fire<br />

brigade?<br />

I joined the Southbridge<br />

brigade in 1994, when I was<br />

about 17. I was brought up on a<br />

farm in Southbridge. I was pretty<br />

young, but I was always keen on<br />

the fire brigade as a young fellow.<br />

So when I had the opportunity<br />

to join, I took it. I enjoyed the<br />

firefighting side of being involved<br />

and the challenges that brought.<br />

I moved to Lincoln when I was<br />

about 21, closer to the city, so I<br />

transferred to the Lincoln brigade.<br />

I became chief in 2015 and retired<br />

November 30 last year.<br />

What are some of the bigger<br />

callouts you have dealt with?<br />

Over the years, in Lincoln we<br />

have seen some really big fires<br />

and incidents. We attended a<br />

lot of big vegetation fires, the<br />

McLeans Island fire many years<br />

ago, the West Melton fire in<br />

2003. Recently we were heavily<br />

involved in the Port Hills fire in<br />

2017, we were some of the first<br />

crews to arrive for that. We were<br />

the first trucks to respond into<br />

the city after the 2011 <strong>February</strong><br />

earthquake, and we spent many<br />

weeks rotating crews and helping<br />

out. Also the first earthquake in<br />

September, that was a busy time<br />

for us as well. Damage occurred<br />

around Lincoln. It felt like we<br />

were dealing with chimneys every<br />

day having to secure or bring<br />

down unstable chimneys around<br />

the district.<br />

Did you feel sad retiring from<br />

something that has been such a<br />

big part of your life?<br />

It was quite emotional. It was<br />

sort of mixed emotions – sad I<br />

was leaving, but the thought of<br />

having a summer where I didn’t<br />

have to work at fire brigade was<br />

quite a nice feeling. I had thought<br />

about it for a long time. It was<br />

a real hard decision to make<br />

because I really enjoyed it. Not<br />

so much the firefighting side of<br />

things anymore, but the challenge<br />

of being chief and leading a group<br />

of great people sort of spun my<br />

wheels.<br />

And saving lives, I guess?<br />

Did you have any spectacular<br />

moments of doing something<br />

like that?<br />

Not personally, but I do<br />

remember as a crew we attended<br />

a house fire in Lincoln one<br />

morning and the crew made<br />

access into the house and<br />

removed an unconscious patient.<br />

They brought him out and saved<br />

his life pretty much. That’s one<br />

that sticks in mind. I wasn’t the<br />

chief then, I think I was driving<br />

that day.<br />

Was the brigade involved in<br />

rescuing people trapped after<br />

the 2011 earthquake?<br />

Not directly. I do recall the<br />

night of the Christchurch<br />

earthquake we ended up in the<br />

city and we had to check a<br />

report of people stuck in the<br />

elevator of the old Holiday<br />

Inn in Cashel St.<br />

It was so eerie cause noone<br />

was in there. There was<br />

cracks in the walls, so it was<br />

quite an eerie feeling I guess,<br />

searching for people. It was<br />

about eight o’clock at night,<br />

the report had come in earlier<br />

in the day, they had obviously got<br />

themselves out.<br />

That’s how stretched emergency<br />

services were that day, it was<br />

hours and hours before you got<br />

there. It was just chaos really. The<br />

thing I remember is coming out<br />

of the Holiday Inn and looking<br />

up at the Grand Chancellor.<br />

There were people in the top<br />

window of the Grand Chancellor<br />

waving out calling for help. We<br />

ended up going ‘Oh my, that<br />

place looks like it is on<br />

a lean.’<br />

That was<br />

something<br />

that stuck<br />

in my mind<br />

from that<br />

earthquake.<br />

OUR PEOPLE 15<br />

‘Carnage on the roads’ takes a toll<br />

•From page 13<br />

Did no-one know there were<br />

people stuck in the Grand<br />

Chancellor at that point?<br />

Not that we were aware of. We<br />

got Urban Search and Rescue<br />

guys to come along, they made<br />

access into the Grand Chancellor<br />

and got them down.<br />

What were some of your most<br />

challenging callouts?<br />

Big vegetation fires were always<br />

most challenging, but motor<br />

vehicle accidents as well were<br />

always challenging and can<br />

be a little harder to deal with<br />

depending on the circumstances.<br />

And I guess that’s probably one<br />

thing I noticed coming from<br />

Southbridge to Lincoln, we<br />

got a lot more motor vehicle<br />

accidents. Lincoln is always busy<br />

for accidents. I guess the busier<br />

roads, a lot of uncontrolled<br />

intersections where we ended up<br />

having a lot of issues, so I have<br />

seen a fair bit of carnage on the<br />

roads over the years.<br />

How much did the Lincoln<br />

brigade grow in your time<br />

there?<br />

The brigade last year got over<br />

300 calls. When I first joined<br />

Lincoln there were over 100.<br />

With the increasing population<br />

and more people on the roads,<br />

there’s just so much more going<br />

on. When I first came to Lincoln<br />

there was about 20 members<br />

TEAM-UP: Jeremy Greenwood and St John Mid Canterbury territory manager James<br />

Watkins.<br />

and now there is about 37. The<br />

fire station is due to be replaced<br />

within the next, I would say,<br />

probably five years. That station<br />

the brigade is in now was built<br />

in 1969. It’s due for replacement,<br />

so FENZ are actively looking for<br />

suitable land for where it may go.<br />

Equipment and appliances<br />

must have developed over that<br />

time?<br />

My time in Lincoln I’ve seen<br />

probably three or four brand<br />

new appliances come through<br />

the door. Being a busy brigade<br />

you tend to be looked after for<br />

equipment. When I first joined<br />

at Southbridge if there was any<br />

motor vehicle accidents we had to<br />

wait for the Burnham army truck<br />

to come. There was no cutting<br />

equipment in any of the local<br />

brigades, the likes of Rolleston<br />

didn’t have it, Leeston didn’t<br />

have it, Lincoln didn’t have it, we<br />

always had to wait for the army<br />

to arrive with the cutting gear.<br />

Lincoln self-funded their<br />

rescue equipment originally,<br />

there was a big community push<br />

for donations and the same with<br />

Leeston.<br />

Once you had the gear, as it<br />

aged then it was replaced by the<br />

fire service.<br />

Why did you retire?<br />

It was really a matter of,<br />

I guess, having the chance<br />

to refocus and being young<br />

enough to be able to refocus into<br />

something else. Being in the<br />

brigade since 17, it has been a<br />

big part of my life, I don’t really<br />

know much different. I enjoyed<br />

every minute of it, but probably<br />

it was a big focus on fire brigade<br />

and not on my career.<br />

What is your career?<br />

I’m a company manager. I<br />

manage a number of different<br />

little companies I guess.<br />

(My business partner and I)<br />

run Southern Rainbow in<br />

Christchurch, we run a fuel<br />

company called BSP fuels. At<br />

Southern Rainbow, we do the<br />

sales and exports for the parent<br />

company Southern Clams in<br />

Dunedin, which harvests wild<br />

clams. I have spent a bit of time<br />

travelling overseas for the export<br />

side of it, I’ve been to China<br />

about three times, Australia,<br />

been to the US three times. Most<br />

of our business is on the east<br />

coast of the US – Boston, New<br />

York. A lot of our clams go into<br />

that market over there. They are<br />

exported live, they are put on<br />

an aeroplane and in the markets<br />

within 48 hours.<br />

OUR PEOPLE 17<br />

Life and business after firefighting<br />

•From page 15<br />

Do you like the taste of<br />

clams?<br />

I have to say yes, don’t I? They<br />

are nice, cooked the right way.<br />

They are popular in the Italian<br />

restaurant market. They use<br />

them in the whole shell for pasta<br />

dishes, and obviously your clam<br />

chowders and that sort of thing.<br />

Did you study business<br />

management after leaving<br />

school?<br />

No, I just worked after<br />

leaving Ellesmere College, I<br />

think in sixth form. I became<br />

a labourer. I didn’t do much,<br />

I was young and dumb really.<br />

Wanted to earn a bit of money<br />

and drink a bit of beer. So my<br />

career path wasn’t the flashest.<br />

I’m pretty lucky to have gotten to<br />

where I have got to, there’s been<br />

some opportunities, so it’s been<br />

good.<br />

How did you get into your<br />

line of work?<br />

When I moved to Lincoln,<br />

I was working in town in an<br />

automotive workshop for a year<br />

or so then I ended up with the<br />

company I am in, in the fuel side<br />

of it. I actually ended up driving<br />

a fuel tanker doing on-site fuel<br />

deliveries for BSP Fuels. So I did<br />

that for a few years, all around<br />

Canterbury.<br />

What are your hobbies?<br />

I quite enjoy doing a bit of<br />

mountain biking. I enjoy water<br />

fire station while visiting the United States in 2020.<br />

Right – Greenwood with his wife Carol after he received<br />

his gold star in 2019.<br />

sports, jet-skiing, we enjoy<br />

travelling. (My wife Carol and I)<br />

are heading to the UK in April<br />

for about three-and-a-half weeks<br />

to see our daughter up there, we<br />

are going through the US, we<br />

have about a week in the US.<br />

Has it been good bringing up<br />

your family in Lincoln?<br />

Lincoln is an awesome place<br />

to bring up a family. I have<br />

two adult stepdaughters and<br />

a 17-year-old son. It’s not so<br />

quiet now, it’s getting busier and<br />

busier, but the people in Lincoln<br />

are fantastic. It’s got good<br />

facilities but it is not getting too<br />

big either, not like Rolleston<br />

which is turning into like a<br />

suburb of Christchurch just<br />

about. Lincoln has still got a bit<br />

of a country charm.<br />

Do you have any life goals?<br />

No, one day at a time.<br />

Census <strong>2023</strong> —<br />

make sure you count<br />

Information about how to complete the <strong>2023</strong> Census is on its way to residents’<br />

mailboxes or door this month.<br />

The census is a nationwide survey that happens every five years. Every person who<br />

is in the country on the night of Tuesday 7 March <strong>2023</strong> needs to do the survey.<br />

The responses are combined to produce statistics that provide a picture of life in<br />

Aotearoa and how it is changing. Peoples’ identities are kept private<br />

and confidential.<br />

Council Chief Executive David Ward says iwi, community groups, local and central<br />

government, and businesses all use findings from the census to inform strategic<br />

decision making and future planning.<br />

“We know that <strong>Selwyn</strong> is one of the fastest growing districts in the country.<br />

Information from the census helps us determine what services and infrastructure<br />

we need to invest in for our communities. By taking part, you help us gain a better<br />

understanding of what you, your community and the wider <strong>Selwyn</strong> district needs<br />

for the future,” he says.<br />

Stats NZ, which is running the census, is doing things differently than in previous<br />

years. This year, there will be more people out and about collecting the census<br />

forms and more assistance is available for people who want help to fill out their<br />

forms. People will also have more choice about how they take part and can fill<br />

out the census forms either online or on paper. There will also be more formats<br />

available for disabled people.<br />

To learn more about the <strong>2023</strong> Census, visit census.govt.nz.<br />

Road projects to help safe school access<br />

Upgrades around six <strong>Selwyn</strong> schools will be helping pupils travel more safely to<br />

school this year.<br />

The Council has been upgrading roads, pavements, entrance ways or signage around<br />

six schools over summer.<br />

Upgrades have been made to the popular<br />

shared cycling and walking pathway on<br />

Springston Rolleston Road outside Rolleston<br />

College to improve access and address the<br />

problem of people parking on the pathway.<br />

Additional line marking, signage, upgrades to<br />

entrance ways and increased marking of cycle<br />

and pedestrian areas have also been added<br />

around Rolleston College. While new signage<br />

has been added around the McLaughlins Road<br />

access to Darfield High School, with additional<br />

line marking to be added. This work follows on from new parking bays and a shared<br />

cycling and walking path that was added on Boundary Road last year, to assist safe<br />

access to Lincoln College.<br />

A new pedestrian crossing has been added on Broadlands Drive outside Clearview<br />

School and is being added across Markham Way near the Rolleston School entrance,<br />

along with a shared walking and cycling path along Markham Way.<br />

A new kea crossing has also been installed outside Clearview School along with<br />

traffic calming and road frontage upgrades to support slower speeds and improve<br />

safety for pupils walking or cycling to school.<br />

The first stage of safety improvements outside West Rolleston School has also been<br />

completed with a new, 2.5 metre wide shared path for walking and cycling on Dunns<br />

Crossing Road, additional line marking and upgrades around the kea crossing. The<br />

Council and Waka Kotahi have been working with the school on a package of safety<br />

improvements to tie in with Waka Kotahi plans to develop the State Highway 1<br />

intersection with Dunns Crossing Road as the future main southern entrance<br />

to Rolleston.<br />

Plans are also in place for safety upgrades outside Leeston School on Darcy Street,<br />

while the Council has supported Waka Kotahi's upgrade of State Highway 73 through<br />

West Melton, which will improve safe access to West Melton School.<br />

Water wisely this summer<br />

Be smart with your water use around the yard, as warm conditions continue.<br />

Being water wise saves money and helps ensure there is enough available at a<br />

steady pressure for everyone to use.<br />

People are encouraged to avoid watering between the hours of 6–9am and<br />

4–9pm, when usage normally peaks and puts pressure on the water supplies.<br />

Residents can also make the most of their water by following these tips:<br />

• Water every few days (not daily). Watering every day encourages roots to<br />

grow at the surface, making them more vulnerable to dry spells.<br />

• Water for short intervals to let the soil absorb more water. For example,<br />

water for three 5-minute intervals over a couple of hours, instead of<br />

continuous watering for 15 minutes.<br />

• Use a watering can or hose to give you more control of where the water<br />

goes, so you don’t water the driveway, footpath or buildings.<br />

• Only water what needs it. Consider letting your berm dry off<br />

during summer.<br />

• Use mulch or cover the soil with organic matter to help your garden<br />

retain moisture.<br />

• Check for leaks in your hoses and taps.<br />

• Use the right sprinkler head to ensure it is applying a gentle amount of<br />

water. Some sprinklers apply more water than the soil can absorb.<br />

• Choose drought-resistant plants, as these don’t require as much water.<br />

New access as work continues to<br />

Rolleston Town Centre<br />

After a milestone year, the next stage of works is continuing in the Rolleston<br />

Town Centre.<br />

The past year saw the first commercial premises, the youth space and new<br />

roads and car parks opened, with work on further commercial premises and<br />

car parks ongoing.<br />

The access to Christensen Parade from Rolleston Drive (past the Rolleston<br />

Community Centre) will be closed until the end of April while the final car<br />

parks are constructed. The Rōhutu Way entrance from Tennyson Street is<br />

open and a temporary road will connect Rōhutu Way to Christensen Parade.<br />

This entrance remains one-way with cars exciting via the temporary road to<br />

Christensen Parade and then Moore Street.<br />

Further landscaping work, new public spaces and upgrades to the Rolleston<br />

Reserve will follow this year.<br />

collection service is taken to EcoSort, along with recycling from<br />

neighbouring districts.<br />

recent $16.8m upgrade, tour the materials recovery facility, ask<br />

staff questions and get an up close look at a recycling truck.<br />

Prebbleton look to go one<br />

better under new head coach<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

COVID MIGHT have delayed<br />

Simon Fitzgerald taking the<br />

reins as Prebbleton head coach,<br />

but it is now full steam ahead to<br />

get the club to its first Ellesmere<br />

senior rugby championship since<br />

1974.<br />

Fitzgerald, from Belfast,<br />

Northern Ireland, was due at the<br />

club in 2020, but lockdowns got<br />

in the way of his travel plans.<br />

He arrived in September<br />

last year, taking up the role of<br />

Prebbleton’s director of rugby,<br />

which he will now combine with<br />

head coach of the division 1 side.<br />

“I have coached in a lot of places,<br />

but never been this excited for<br />

a rugby season before,” he said.<br />

Prebbleton have won the<br />

coveted Coleman Shield just<br />

twice in its 104-year history, the<br />

last time in 1974. However, the<br />

team came close last year, with a<br />

heartbreaking one-point loss to<br />

Darfield, while in 2021, the team<br />

went down to Southbridge 28-24<br />

in the final.<br />

Fitzgerald is the only head<br />

coaching change in Ellesmere’s<br />

division 1 teams for <strong>2023</strong>, but<br />

many teams have other coaching<br />

changes. Last year’s Coleman<br />

Shield winners, Darfield, have<br />

Mervyn Todd leading the team<br />

again, while Waihora, Southbridge,<br />

and Hornby’s coaching<br />

teams are largely unchanged.<br />

This year will be Fitzgerald’s<br />

first coaching in the Southern<br />

Hemisphere.<br />

“New Zealand has been on the<br />

radar for quite some time, so it’s<br />

great to finally be here,” he said.<br />

ARRIVAL:<br />

Prebbleton’s<br />

new head<br />

coach Simon<br />

Fitzgerald<br />

says the team<br />

will focus on<br />

having fun<br />

and enjoying<br />

themselves.<br />

After he stopped playing<br />

rugby around the age of 20 due<br />

to injury, Fitzgerald “fell” into<br />

coaching with his local club at<br />

the time. Fast forward 10 years,<br />

he has coached across the world,<br />

– including the Netherlands and<br />

Canada under-20 representative<br />

teams – and has been director of<br />

rugby at several clubs.<br />

This season Prebbleton also<br />

have some slight changes to their<br />

on-field leadership team, with<br />

last year’s co-captain Cam Hay<br />

in the United Kingdom. Lock<br />

Tom Brand has been confirmed<br />

as captain after sharing the role<br />

with Hay last year.<br />

Last Monday Prebbleton’s<br />

preseason training programme<br />

kicked off, along with Fitzgerald’s<br />

first opportunity to lead<br />

a combined group of the club’s<br />

senior players.<br />

“I just want to give our<br />

amateur players the freedom to<br />

express themselves while playing,”<br />

he said.<br />

“We’re taking a different way<br />

than before, based on feedback<br />

I’ve heard, with different ways of<br />

looking at things.”<br />

“We’re not the All Blacks, we’re<br />

not the Crusaders, I just want<br />

our players to have a place . . . to<br />

enjoy themselves and have fun,”<br />

he said of his coaching focus.<br />

Fitzgerald also added how<br />

impressed he was of the environment<br />

surrounding players at<br />

Prebbleton.<br />

“I’ve been pretty blown away<br />

by the committed volunteer<br />

base at Prebbleton, there’s some<br />

amazing people and I don’t think<br />

volunteers are credited enough.”<br />

Fitzgerald will take over<br />

the head coach role from<br />

Dave Kettles who is no<br />

longer coaching due to other<br />

commitments.<br />

Milestone drive behind Lone Wolf<br />

finally earns O’Reilly 200th win<br />

DRIVE: Sarah O’Reilly was delighted to notch up her 200th<br />

win driving Lone Wolf. PHOTOS: MONICA TORETTO<br />

• By Jonny Turner<br />

A COOL, calm and collected<br />

drive behind Lone Wolf saw<br />

Sarah O’Reilly reach 200 wins<br />

in the sulky at Oamaru on<br />

Thursday.<br />

Being tucked away four back<br />

on the markers for much of race<br />

6 wasn’t a problem for the Brent<br />

and Tim White-trained pacer,<br />

with O’Reilly expertly plotting a<br />

passage to win.<br />

After being stuck on 199 wins<br />

for a couple of weeks, the junior<br />

reinswoman was delighted to<br />

tick off her 200-win milestone.<br />

“It is a bit of a relief,” she said.<br />

“(I was stuck on 199) since<br />

Ashburton, so it has been a<br />

couple of weeks – it was a bit<br />

frustrating.”<br />

Lone Wolf charged home late<br />

to seal his victory.<br />

Though the horse made some<br />

mistakes early in his career, he is<br />

showing plenty of improvement<br />

with his manners.<br />

Lone Wolf ownership includes<br />

people from Lincoln.<br />

“He is still learning, he was a<br />

bit of a trick early on,” O’Reilly<br />

said.<br />

“He wouldn’t put his feet in the<br />

right places, but we changed a bit<br />

of gear on him and he is pretty<br />

good now.<br />

“He was a bit flat around the<br />

corner because he gets his head<br />

on the side a bit.<br />

“I just had to wait for him to<br />

balance up and when he did he<br />

sprinted really well.”<br />

The Brent and Tim White<br />

stable have produced eight wins<br />

already this season at a strong<br />

strike-rate.<br />

O’Reilly joined their team last<br />

year and is loving her time there.<br />

“The horses are doing really<br />

good at the moment, which is<br />

great,” she said.<br />

“They do a good job with<br />

them, they are really good people<br />

to work for.”<br />

A regular at race meetings<br />

from Manawatu to Canterbury<br />

and Southland, O’Reilly only has<br />

one plan following her 200-win<br />

achievement – to keep driving<br />

winners all across the country.<br />

Another milestone was ticked<br />

off at Oamaru on Thursday when<br />

Brad Mowbray produced his first<br />

quinella as a trainer.<br />

Second Amendment continued<br />

an outstanding run of form,<br />

taking out race 8 over his<br />

stablemate Mighty Reactor.<br />

In another success at Oamaru<br />

on Thursday, Graeme Telfer<br />

produced his 50th win as a<br />

trainer when Barrytown took out<br />

race 2.<br />

FOOD 25<br />

Snacks fit for the schoolyard<br />

As children head<br />

back to school, here<br />

are some suggestions to<br />

help prepare a healthy<br />

breakfast and fill up their<br />

lunchboxes<br />

Muesli slice<br />

Ingredients<br />

Makes 24 slices<br />

2 cups rolled oats<br />

1 cup wholemeal flour<br />

½ cup desiccated coconut<br />

2 tsp cinnamon<br />

¾ cup sultanas or other mixed<br />

fruit<br />

½ cup canola oil<br />

½ cup honey<br />

2 bananas, mashed<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat oven to 180<br />

deg C.<br />

Line a slice tray with non-stick<br />

baking paper.<br />

In a mixing bowl, add the<br />

dry ingredients and mix<br />

through.<br />

Add the remaining ingredients<br />

and mix with a wooden spoon<br />

until fully combined.<br />

Place mixture into a lined slice<br />

tray and press down firmly.<br />

Cook for 30 mins until golden.<br />

Allow to cool before cutting<br />

into squares.<br />

Alison Lambert’s chia<br />

pudding<br />

Ingredients<br />

Serves 4<br />

2 cups coconut cream<br />

½ cup chia seeds (black or white)<br />

1 tsp vanilla extract<br />

1-2 Tbsp coconut sugar or maple<br />

syrup<br />

Options:<br />

2 cups fresh or frozen berries<br />

2 Tbsp raw cacao powder, 6<br />

prunes<br />

Dried fruit such as<br />

apricots, dates, cranberries, seeds<br />

and nuts<br />

Directions<br />

Pour the coconut cream into<br />

a large bowl, add the chia seeds,<br />

vanilla extract and sweetener.<br />

Whisk together until combined.<br />

Pour into a sealable container<br />

and store in the fridge (ideally<br />

overnight).<br />

Whole-wheat and dulse<br />

crackers with za’atar<br />

Ingredients<br />

Makes 40<br />

Time 30min<br />

185g (1¼ cups) whole wheat<br />

flour<br />

2 Tbsp ground flaxseeds<br />

(linseeds)<br />

2 Tbsp za’atar<br />

2 tsp rapadura sugar<br />

2 tsp dried dulse flakes (see note)<br />

A pinch of fine salt<br />

80ml (⅓ cup) extra-virgin<br />

coconut oil, melted and cooled<br />

60ml (¼ cup) water<br />

Black sesame seeds to garnish<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />

In a large bowl, combine the<br />

flour, flaxseeds, za’atar, sugar,<br />

dulse and salt, and mix well.<br />

Add the coconut oil and<br />

use your fingers to rub the<br />

ingredients until they are all<br />

coated in the oil and start to<br />

clump together. Add the water<br />

and bring the dough together<br />

into a ball. It should clump and<br />

hold together but not be sticky.<br />

Add a little more water if the<br />

dough is too dry or flour if it is<br />

too sticky.<br />

Place a sheet of parchment<br />

paper on the kitchen bench. Take<br />

half the dough, place it in the<br />

middle of the paper and cover<br />

with another sheet of parchment<br />

paper. Roll out the dough until it<br />

is the thickness of a coin (about<br />

2mm).<br />

Remove the top sheet of paper<br />

and sprinkle over the sesame<br />

seeds and a little salt. Return the<br />

top sheet and roll again to press<br />

the seeds and salt into the dough.<br />

Remove the top sheet and<br />

transfer the bottom sheet, along<br />

with the dough, to a baking tray.<br />

Score the dough into 20 or<br />

so squares and prick well with<br />

a fork. Repeat with the second<br />

batch of dough.<br />

Bake until golden, about 15-20<br />

minutes.<br />

Allow to cool a little before<br />

cutting along the score marks.<br />

The crackers will store well for<br />

a couple of weeks in a sealed<br />

container in a cupboard.<br />

Note: Dulse is a red seaweed<br />

that is available dried as whole<br />

leaves or in flakes. This recipe<br />

calls for the latter.<br />

BOARDING SCHOOL<br />

Start your legacy<br />

at Nelson College.<br />

START<br />

YOUR<br />

LEGACY<br />

Discover, challenge and<br />

extend at Nelson College<br />

Young men want to explore. They want<br />

learning to be fun and challenging; a<br />

place where they can question and test<br />

new ideas, as well as acquire the skills and<br />

knowledge they need to succeed in the<br />

next chapter of their education and life<br />

ahead.<br />

At Nelson College, we want our students<br />

to be excited about life, and to discover<br />

and pursue their dreams, knowing<br />

that there will be challenges along the<br />

way. School should be somewhere that<br />

provides the spaces and support for young<br />

men to learn and find their passion. A<br />

place to be encouraged and extended to<br />

succeed in learning.<br />

Nelson College Boarding is well-known<br />

for its welcoming family environment.<br />

We want our boys to thrive and succeed<br />

in these formulative years, so we ensure<br />

that they are supported throughout<br />

their studies, as well as encouraged in<br />

their own interests and endeavours. It’s<br />

important to us that our boarders have<br />

fun, make lifelong friendships and create<br />

unforgettable memories within the<br />

context of a clear and safe structure.<br />

Our experienced boarding staff are<br />

committed to creating a strong and<br />

caring community. We ensure they are<br />

supported throughout their educational<br />

endeavours, and we also make sure that<br />

they experience everything our beautiful<br />

Nelson region offers.<br />

The ‘Boarding Advantage’<br />

at St Andrew’s College<br />

Nelson College offers the very best in Boarding.<br />

• Welcoming family environment<br />

• High-level academic and leadership programmes<br />

• More than 30 different sports options<br />

• Year-round activities across the Nelson/Tasman region<br />

• Competitive rates with no school fees<br />

Talk to us about life-changing opportunities for your son.<br />

Email boarding@nelson.school.nz for more information.<br />

nelson.school.nz<br />

As well as a worldclass<br />

education and<br />

host of co-curricular<br />

activities, boarders at<br />

St Andrew’s College<br />

gain valuable life<br />

skills and personal<br />

growth, thanks<br />

to the ‘Boarding<br />

Advantage’, says<br />

Director of Boarding,<br />

Matt Parr. “There<br />

are immeasurable<br />

benefits to boarding at<br />

St Andrew’s. Students<br />

learn socialisation,<br />

interpersonal skills,<br />

organisational skills,<br />

and resourcefulness,<br />

which benefits them well beyond school.”<br />

Matt says a key point of difference<br />

at St Andrew’s is that all its boarding<br />

management staff, and many of its tutors,<br />

are educators. “Our teaching backgrounds<br />

mean we know how to work with young<br />

people and understand the rigours of<br />

academic work. We understand what it<br />

takes for students to be successful and<br />

help them balance academic achievement<br />

with their health and well-being, and cocurricular<br />

activities.”<br />

There is already strong demand for<br />

boarding at St Andrew’s in 2024, says<br />

Matt. “The boarding houses are quite<br />

full for <strong>2023</strong>, and we encourage anyone<br />

interested in securing their child a place<br />

in 2024 to be proactive. We’ll be running<br />

our usual boarding roadshows around the<br />

South Island in Term 1 and look forward<br />

to meeting prospective new students and<br />

families.”<br />

Matt loves to witness the growth of<br />

boarders, who might start in the<br />

St Andrew’s boarding family as nervous<br />

12 or 13-year-olds and end their days at<br />

the College as confident 17 or 18-yearolds.<br />

“Some students find it a daunting<br />

experience to start with, but it’s great to see<br />

them thrive and flourish throughout their<br />

boarding journey with us.”


BOARDING SCHOOL<br />

Students flourish and thrive at<br />

Christchurch Girls’ High<br />

Choosing the right school for your daughter is an<br />

important step. With boarding another dimension<br />

enters into the equation. Not only do parents desire<br />

a stimulating, engaging learning environment which<br />

challenges students to achieve personal excellence, they<br />

also need a safe, comfortable and happy living space.<br />

Christchurch Girls’ High School is a purpose built<br />

school for girls which places young women at the<br />

centre of education. Acland, the boarding hostel<br />

associated with the school, establishes positive<br />

relationships which create a strong sense of family.<br />

This feeling is further enhanced by the completely<br />

refurbished main homestead. A landscaped pool area<br />

and access to tennis courts, complement the living<br />

arrangements.<br />

Boarders are supervised by a supportive, experienced<br />

and caring team. A Director of Boarding leads her staff<br />

in ensuring the welfare of the students is paramount.<br />

All nutritional needs are met by a professional,<br />

friendly, on-site food services team.<br />

In this environment students flourish and thrive.<br />

They learn to manage selves, relate to others and<br />

participate and contribute. In the process, they<br />

develop resilience, independence, a good work ethic<br />

and lasting friendships.<br />

Learning and living at Christchurch Girls’ High<br />

School is tailored specifically to meet the needs of<br />

today’s young women.<br />

Nine tips to reduce fuel costs<br />

Currently, many people are having difficulty meeting their<br />

everyday costs. Driving and maintaining a vehicle is one<br />

of those costs. The fuel tax cut is set to end at the end of<br />

March <strong>2023</strong>, so the cost of petrol may increase. Jones Road<br />

Auto, 131 Iport Drive, Rolleston, has tips to reduce fuel costs.<br />

Monday-Friday 7am-5pm<br />

1. Service and maintain your<br />

vehicle regularly<br />

A well-maintained and regularly<br />

serviced vehicle could reduce fuel<br />

consumption by up to 4 per cent,<br />

according to MTA (Motor Trade<br />

Association). Use your car’s recommended<br />

oil and fuel to help it run more efficiently<br />

with less fuel.<br />

2. Inflate tyres and align<br />

wheels correctly<br />

Ensure your tyre pressure and wheel<br />

alignment are correct, as underinflated<br />

tyres and incorrect steering will lead to<br />

more fuel use.<br />

3. Fill your tank<br />

Removing the cap allows fuel to<br />

evaporate, so using most of your<br />

petrol before refilling may improve<br />

fuel economy. However, there can be<br />

contaminants at the bottom of the tank,<br />

so a good compromise is to fill up when<br />

there is a quarter tank remaining.<br />

4. Drive smoothly<br />

Be aware and anticipate stops when<br />

driving. Accelerate smoothly and slowly<br />

and stop gradually to avoid harsh<br />

braking. Automatic vehicles only need<br />

a light acceleration for the transmission<br />

to change up. If you have cruise control<br />

on long flat roads, you can maintain<br />

a constant speed and reduce fuel<br />

consumption.<br />

5. Avoid long idling<br />

When a modern vehicle is operating<br />

efficiently, there’s no need for it to be<br />

‘warmed up’. You could turn off your<br />

engine if you are stopped for an extended<br />

time. Avoid rush hour driving, as stopand-go<br />

driving burns more fuel.<br />

6. Remove unnecessary<br />

weight<br />

Weight adds to fuel consumption, so<br />

offload any unnecessary items, such as<br />

golf clubs, storage boxes, cycle racks and<br />

roof racks, if not required.<br />

7. Driving at the speed limit<br />

It isn’t just about following the law; it<br />

can also help lower fuel costs. The MTA<br />

advises that fuel consumption increases by<br />

around 6 per cent for every 10km/h faster<br />

you go over 90km/h.<br />

8. Air conditioning<br />

When driving around town, use an<br />

open window and fan; at higher speeds,<br />

an open window creates greater drag, and<br />

it is more fuel-efficient to use your air<br />

conditioning.<br />

9. Use your vehicle less<br />

Driving less is an obvious way to save<br />

fuel. Plan and combine several trips into<br />

one, and for short trips, consider walking<br />

or cycling if possible.<br />

Is your vehicle not running to it’s<br />

full potential? Is it lacking power<br />

or blowing black smoke?<br />

GARDENING 29<br />

Jovellana suit sheltered areas<br />

More plants, water pump keep algae at bay<br />

Without a little TLC, water features can turn into algae soup,<br />

reports James Wong<br />

TO MY MIND, there is no other<br />

garden feature that can provide<br />

as much joy as a pond, reflecting<br />

light, expanding the palette<br />

of plants that can be grown,<br />

providing enormous benefits to<br />

wildlife.<br />

Yet at this time of year, many<br />

pond owners can find the dream<br />

of a gin-clear reflective surface<br />

often turns into a swamp of pea<br />

soup. Here are a few simple tips<br />

for tackling the issue.<br />

Let’s start with the good<br />

news. Combating the algae<br />

responsible for the cloudy<br />

green of ponds is theoretically<br />

really straightforward. Much<br />

like plants, algae are essentially<br />

living solar panels, and need a<br />

constant supply of light, nutrients<br />

and carbon dioxide to survive.<br />

However, unlike plants, they<br />

do not have the ability to store<br />

energy in roots or leaves to tide<br />

them over lean periods, so if they<br />

are deprived of light, nutrients or<br />

carbon dioxide, they should die<br />

off as quickly as they grow.<br />

Now, here’s the bad news. In<br />

practice this can be trickier than<br />

it sounds. One of the best ways<br />

to sort out an existing problem is<br />

to add more plants to the pond.<br />

This helps in two ways, as plants<br />

directly compete with the algae<br />

for light and nutrients, which are<br />

the two factors over which you as<br />

a gardener have the most control.<br />

This is particularly the case<br />

with large-leaved, fast-growing<br />

species such as waterlilies that<br />

quickly expand out to block<br />

out the sun while drawing up<br />

minerals from the bottom of<br />

the pond. As a general guide,<br />

covering about 50% of the surface<br />

is ideal.<br />

These results can be further<br />

boosted with floating plants<br />

such as frogbit (Hydrocharis<br />

morsus-ranae) and water soldier<br />

(Stratiotes aloides), which do<br />

a great job without becoming<br />

invasive like duckweed. As a<br />

useful side effect, cutting down<br />

light levels also reduces the<br />

temperature of the water, which<br />

further slows down algal growth.<br />

Another simple thing to do is<br />

to add a water pump with a filter.<br />

This removes solid particles of<br />

organic matter from fallen leaves<br />

and dead plants, which break<br />

down to fuel algae populations. It<br />

also also helps to aerate the water,<br />

which boosts submerged plant<br />

growth, allowing them to out<br />

compete the algae.<br />

It is important to remember<br />

it can take a while for these<br />

initiatives to kick in. Plants do<br />

not cover a pond overnight, and<br />

pumps do not miraculous filter all<br />

the nutrients in a day. So patience<br />

is key, but that’s gardening for<br />

you!<br />

– Guardian News and Media<br />

THERE ARE four species in the<br />

Jovellana genus, two are native<br />

to New Zealand and two are<br />

from South America.<br />

Jovellana are typically semievergreen<br />

perennial plants with<br />

a mounding or creeping habit. A<br />

striking feature of this genus are<br />

the charming flowers, patterned<br />

with distinctive bright spots,<br />

a trait shared with its closely<br />

related South American genus<br />

Calceolaria.<br />

Jovellana violacea, from South<br />

America, bears mint-shaped<br />

leaves atop reddish stems.<br />

Its bell-shaped flowers are<br />

light purple in colour, with eyecatching<br />

purple spots dusted<br />

over a yellow interior. This<br />

mound-forming shrub displays<br />

masses of these dainty fingernail<br />

sized flowers from spring<br />

through to summer.<br />

The second South American<br />

species, Jovellana punctata,<br />

bears similar purple speckled<br />

flowers, though showing<br />

subtle differences in colour<br />

and size.<br />

Our native species of Jovellana<br />

are just as charming. Jovellana<br />

sinclairii is a subshrub –<br />

herbaceous with soft woody<br />

lower stems, Jovellana repens<br />

grows into a low mat up to 2m<br />

wide. Both bear the distinctive<br />

speckled flowers.<br />

Jovellana is thought to have<br />

evolved in South America and<br />

to have made it to New Zealand<br />

relatively recently.<br />

Grow Jovellana in a sheltered,<br />

semi-shaded area where they<br />

can be protected from harsh<br />

afternoon sunlight.<br />

Being cool-climate species,<br />

Jovellana may not thrive in<br />

warmer climates.<br />

Whether growing the South<br />

American or New Zealand<br />

species of Jovellana, these plants<br />

with their delightful flowers will<br />

brighten up any garden.<br />

The weather is starting to heat up and be quite<br />

dry, so it is important to keep on top of things<br />

such as watering, weeding and mulching.<br />

Having a watering routine helps to keep your<br />

plants happy and reduce the chances of your<br />

veggies bolting to seed. Adding a layer of bark<br />

or mulch will assist in retaining moisture in the<br />

soil, as well as reducing the chance of weeds<br />

coming through. Weeds will compete with your<br />

plants for space, water, and nutrients, so remove<br />

them as soon as you can if they do pop through.<br />

Top Garden Tips<br />

• Remove laterals from tomatoes<br />

• Pull out weeds as they appear<br />

• Harvest produce as it is ready –<br />

you do not want it to bolt to seed<br />

• If you have main crop potatoes in,<br />

keep mounding them up<br />

• Deadhead any spent flowers to<br />

promote new growth<br />

• Add a layer of compost to help<br />

provide nutrients for plant growth<br />

• Apply mulch to aid in weed<br />

suppression and water retention<br />

Mixed parentage for EV Polestar<br />

VOLVO MADE its intentions<br />

clear quite early when the world<br />

was viewing the prospect electric<br />

vehicles would be a big part of our<br />

motoring future.<br />

It indicated all Volvos would<br />

be electrified by 2040 and what’s<br />

more it has a major interest in an<br />

offshoot company – Polestar –<br />

which makes just electric vehicles<br />

which are designed, engineered<br />

and developed with Volvo’s input in<br />

Sweden but are made in China and<br />

are landing here in big numbers –<br />

thanks to the demand Kiwi buyers<br />

are placing on electric vehicles.<br />

You can guarantee Polestar<br />

will have a complete line-up of<br />

models soon, but this evaluation<br />

focuses on Polestar 2 which is a<br />

mid-size, compact sedan already<br />

scooping awards worldwide for its<br />

style, performance and all-round<br />

desirability.<br />

The Polestar 2 lands here in<br />

three specifications, the variants<br />

depend on how much range or<br />

performance you want. If you are<br />

wanting to be part of the New<br />

Zealand Government’s Clean Car<br />

Programme discount scheme there<br />

are two models that sit beneath the<br />

$80k threshold.<br />

The standard range model with a<br />

single motor driving out the front<br />

wheels will give you 478km on a<br />

single charge, along with a 7.4sec<br />

time to make 100km/h from a<br />

standstill. It is priced at $68,990.<br />

There is a long range single<br />

motor model that will take<br />

you 551km and has the same<br />

acceleration time, it sits at $78,990.<br />

The evaluation car was the rangetopping<br />

$93,900 long range dual<br />

motor model that supplies power<br />

to all four corners, it has a range of<br />

487km and will scorch through to<br />

100km/h in 4.7sec.<br />

As these latter figures suggest,<br />

the Polestar 2 is a quick car and<br />

provides the buyer with all of the<br />

credentials he/she would want<br />

in an EV. In terms of charging, it<br />

is also as quick as its opposition.<br />

According to the manufacturers it<br />

will fast charge from a designated<br />

charge port in 35min (10 to 80 per<br />

cent), and if you are confined to a<br />

three-pin domestic output like I<br />

am you can expect it to take eight<br />

hours to reach full capacity from<br />

low charge.<br />

I’m pleased to say the charge<br />

cable has decent length at 6m,<br />

that is important to me because<br />

I have to run the cable from a<br />

garage socket that isn’t close to the<br />

evaluation car parking space on my<br />

property. I was pleasantly surprised<br />

with the charge times domestically,<br />

I could charge from 60 to 90 per<br />

cent in just a few hours. Polestar<br />

recommends a constant maximum<br />

of 90 per cent charge, that way<br />

the batteries will be preserved for<br />

longevity.<br />

Driving the Polestar 2 doesn’t<br />

require any special technique, the<br />

drive functions are quite universal,<br />

the drive selector is a push/pull<br />

mechanism sited centrally on the<br />

SLEEK: Sedan body style is elegant and sporty.<br />

POLESTAR 2: Fully electric with four-wheel-drive and a range of almost 500km.<br />

console between the two front<br />

seats. Up front there’s a large<br />

central touch screen display that<br />

will navigate you to all of the<br />

vehicle’s functions – safety, comfort<br />

and convenience. This device is<br />

very similar to what I recognise<br />

from the Volvo models I’ve driven<br />

recently. It incorporates a large<br />

power supply readout that will<br />

keep you well informed of battery<br />

capacity and other associated<br />

graphics including live-stream<br />

Google maps.<br />

Because of its position in the<br />

market, the Polestar 2 has a sporty<br />

focus and it drives quite keenly.<br />

You can expect that early surge of<br />

power as it shoots off the line, but<br />

you can also feel an urgency that<br />

doesn’t wilt right through until<br />

after the speed limit is reached.<br />

That’s something buyer will need<br />

to be mindful of, the smooth, silent<br />

and stealth-like way it accelerates is<br />

quite entertaining, but speed does<br />

sneak up quickly and the legal limit<br />

arrives before you know it.<br />

The major benefit of the<br />

acceleration process is its<br />

overtaking time, if you are heading<br />

out on the highway and want to<br />

make that manoeuvre you can<br />

expect a 4.2sec time to make<br />

120km/h from 80km/h.<br />

I took the evaluation car on<br />

much the same route I would<br />

normally travel in a fossil-fuelled<br />

car, heading west towards the<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 4.7sec<br />

Waimakariri Gorge. Because of<br />

its healthy range, it’s a car that<br />

you can relax in and know that<br />

it will take you on an extended<br />

journey without fear of running<br />

out of charge, especially now that<br />

the charging infrastructure in the<br />

region is growing rapidly.<br />

When it comes time to tackling<br />

the high country winding roads,<br />

the Polestar 2’s handling balance is<br />

biased towards sporty. The spring<br />

and damper rates aren’t overly<br />

firmed, but there is an emphasis<br />

on controlling body movement<br />

along with solid steering feel and<br />

feedback, the latter can be chosen<br />

from three weights – light to firm.<br />

Riding on fabulous Michelin<br />

Primacy tyres (245/45 x 19in)<br />

there is a lot of contact with the<br />

road surface and that is relayed<br />

well to the driver. Turn-in is direct<br />

and a massive amount of surety is<br />

transmitted from the rear as the<br />

force generated by the rear motor is<br />

noticed throughout the vehicle.<br />

While there is that emphasis on<br />

performance, it doesn’t come at<br />

the cost of occupant comfort. You<br />

can guarantee the designers have<br />

incorporated that factor in the<br />

development process. The Polestar<br />

2 is a compact car at just 4.6m,<br />

but that does translate to interior<br />

space. There is room to spread out,<br />

and when you are inside there’s a<br />

wealth of features that keep you<br />

comfortable for every journey.<br />

Of course, there is full leather<br />

trim, the front seat occupants<br />

get heated seats that are also<br />

electrically adjustable. Other major<br />

items of fitment include a full<br />

panoramic roof, and I particularly<br />

like not having a start/stop button;<br />

when you choose “park’’ in the<br />

transmission and leave the vehicle<br />

it will all shut down and lock<br />

automatically, restarting when the<br />

driver returns to the seat.<br />

You can guarantee Volvo will<br />

be looking at how well Polestar is<br />

accepted by today’s market, and<br />

I’m in no doubt that it will set the<br />

benchmark in key areas in terms of<br />

sales and overall performance.<br />

However, there are a lot of<br />

electric vehicles in the global<br />

market and neither company can<br />

afford to drop the ball in terms of<br />

staying competitive.<br />

Police say the 25-year-old<br />

“He was a noyed about something<br />

and decided to do a burnout,<br />

which wasn’t a g od l ok<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />

spoken of watching a man leap into<br />

the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />

save himself after a helicopter winch<br />

rescue operation failed.<br />

Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and<br />

reach the middle-aged man who had<br />

been clinging to the branches of a tree<br />

in the rising waters on Sunday night.<br />

The man had driven into the<br />

flooded river, escaped from his car<br />

and ca led emergency services from<br />

his ce lphone which he managed to<br />

keep with him.<br />

Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />

winch operation plucked the man<br />

to safety after he was swept downstream.<br />

It was a happy ending to the<br />

ordeal which had lasted more than<br />

three hours. The rescue was among<br />

several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />

flooded rivers.<br />

May said he and his family had just<br />

had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw<br />

the floodwaters were too high for the<br />

tractor, however, he used its lights for<br />

i luminating the site where the man<br />

was. • Turn to page 5<br />

THE OWNER of the<br />

The meeting involved one<br />

police and four other victims,<br />

including another dairy<br />

owner.<br />

Facilitated by Oranga<br />

THE ANSWER<br />

IS YES!<br />

• By Ba ry Clarke<br />

A BAR patron who won $1200<br />

on the pokies may have been<br />

targeted by thieves moments after<br />

she co lected the money.<br />

A group of men who were in<br />

the bar a the same time are the<br />

focus of police inquiries. It is<br />

believed they watched her being<br />

paid, and then quickly swooped.<br />

The incident happened at The<br />

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln<br />

two weeks ago.<br />

After she was paid out a the<br />

bar, the men who had been<br />

si ting nearby went over and<br />

congratulated her. While she was<br />

distracted the money disappeared<br />

from her handbag. She only<br />

realised it was gone after she left<br />

the hotel.<br />

Police have taken CCTV<br />

security camera footage from the<br />

hotel which shows the men going<br />

over to the woman and mobbing<br />

her in a congratulatory way. The<br />

footage also captures a hand from<br />

one of the men going towards the<br />

Police say they may have<br />

identified one of the group but<br />

aren’t saying anymore about<br />

the incident. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

understands the men are from<br />

the Amberley area.<br />

WHY USE A NEWSPAPER<br />

TO ADVERTISE?<br />

• Offer targeted<br />

advertising through<br />

regular weekly inserts,<br />

or monthly sections, or<br />

special promotions<br />

• Offers flexibility and<br />

frequency - businesses<br />

can choose the size<br />

and location of the ad<br />

as well as when and how often the ad<br />

will appear<br />

• Offer professional design services<br />

- businesses can work with a designer to get<br />

the design and style they want at no extra cost<br />

• Provide affordability - generally costs<br />

less than television, radio, and direct mail<br />

advertising and can be designed to suit<br />

any budget<br />

• Reach more readers - newspapers sit around<br />

from week to week and readers are more likely<br />

to come back to a newspaper to find and save<br />

information<br />

• Capture more attention - newspaper readers<br />

spend a longer period of time reading a<br />

newspaper whereas research indicates, “the<br />

average attention span of an Internet user is<br />

eight seconds”<br />

• Offer integrated services - such as online<br />

advertising on news sites, professional<br />

photography, and videography, and parallel<br />

advertising in other publications.<br />

You benefit and save with<br />

a monthly plan.<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />

desirable to be working is the<br />

garden.<br />

However, there are hidden<br />

dangers and one of those is<br />

developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />

Here are some guidelines to<br />

avoid that happening<br />

•Minimise the amount of dust<br />

present when working in the<br />

garden.<br />

• Water gardens and indoor<br />

plants using a gentle spray.<br />

• Read the warning label on<br />

bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />

• Wear gloves.<br />

• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />

is filtered out before you can<br />

breathe it in.<br />

• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />

• Open bags of soil products<br />

slowly, away from the face.<br />

• Make sure the working area<br />

(for example, the gla shouse or<br />

po ting shed) is we l ventilated.<br />

• See a doctor if you develop a<br />

flu-like i lne s that seems to be<br />

worsening.<br />

• Wash hands thoroughly<br />

after gardening or handling soil<br />

products.<br />

These are simple, easy and<br />

natural steps that a l gardeners<br />

can take to reduce risk while<br />

continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />

all well-balanced by a feature bar pendant light. Four bedrooms offer natural light, the master has external access, a generous<br />

walk-in robe and a gorgeous fully tiled ensuite. The main bathroom has tiled floors and walls, complete with vanity and bath.<br />

On its own wing, even the laundry is thoughtfully designed with a functional space and stunning built-in storage and also the<br />

fourth bedroom provides separation and privacy for guests. The internal access double garage is carpeted throughout and<br />

some extra features of this striking home are; Ranch access to external deck from the hallway, walk in storage/linen cupboard,<br />

Darfield 543 Bangor Road<br />

Entry Level Lifestyle Sensation<br />

An entry-level lifestyle sensation perfect for those with equine inclinations where a rustic timber home sits on a level and sunny<br />

5.1772 hectare parcel all just a five-minute drive from amenities in Darfield township. A great opportunity to get out of the<br />

city and into the fresh country air and ideally suited for a compact family, retiring farmers looking to start down-gearing or<br />

those with aspirations toward self-sufficiency with five paddocks, cattle and sheep yards, a water race, a 60x20m sand based<br />

arena, two units of allocation off the Malvern Hills water supply, fenced gardens and a tunnel house. Excellent shedding adds<br />

to the appeal of this well-set up lifestyle block with a four bay barn (with truck bay), a powered four bay enclosed shed and a<br />

42sqm shed with power and a concrete floor. The quaint, 'Fletcher' built home features two bedrooms, bathroom, separate<br />

toilet and laundry with fully integrated kitchen, dining and lounge moving out to substantial decking for outdoor living. Tidy<br />

and extremely comfy with a wet-backed wood burner and heat pump all set under natural timber ceilings and double glazed<br />

windows efficiently retaining the heat.<br />
