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 />
different year in terms of ticket<br />
sales, purely with what we’ve<br />
been through with cancellations,<br />
etc.<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 />
said.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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.”

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 />

A MOTORIST a legedly more<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 />
Prebbleton Dairy targeted<br />
four times by youth believes a<br />
family group conference was a<br />
waste of time.<br />
The meeting involved one<br />
of the teens, a 13-year-old,<br />
his family, Oranga Tamariki,<br />
police and four other victims,<br />
including another dairy<br />
owner.<br />
Facilitated by Oranga<br />
Tamariki, youth justice family<br />
group conferences are<br />
intended to help youth take<br />
responsibility and leave them<br />
with a plan for the future.<br />
While the victims could<br />
speak a the meeting, Sangeet<br />
Mehta said the decision had<br />
already been made as to what<br />
would happen with the youth.<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 />

around for centuries.<br />
And marigolds are probably the<br />

living in the soil).<br />
Marigolds are said to deter<br />
aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />
and nematodes from potatoes and<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 />

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 />
