Darfield’s acting site operations manager, Shane Taylor, said the 30 new employees hired to operate the cream cheese plant have been looking forward to the site opening for the last six months. “Most of the team have learnt everything from scratch,” Mr Taylor said. “They’ve gone from classroom to practice to real life commissioning of the site. If the plant was a ship, they would have been the crew preparing for its maiden voyage and a long life on the ocean.” Fonterra’s chief operating officer for global operations, Robert Spurway, said the new plant is an important part
of the Co-op’s strategy to keep up the momentum in producing more valueadded products for its consumer and foodservice business. “Today, one in four litres of milk from New Zealand is sold to China — that’s the equivalent of 3.4 billion litres a year. Our focus is on creating the highest return from each of those litres. “The new plant will enable us to convert more milk to high-value cream cheese, which is in popular demand. “We’re really proud of our technology, which alters the firmness and consistency of cream cheese according to customer preference. It’s a technology first and a huge competitive advantage,”
Mr Spurway said. Fonterra says China’s changing demographics have driven a surge in popularity for Western foods. “The 20kg blocks of cream cheese from Darfield will meet growing demand for bakery goods, like cheesecakes and cheese tarts,” Susan Cassidy, Fonterra’s general manager for marketing, said. “The growth in China’s middle class, rapid urbanisation and changing consumer tastes has contributed to explosive growth in the number of consumers wanting New Zealand dairy. “People in China want natural dairy products they can trust in their baked goods. That’s great for Fonterra and New Zealand,” Ms Cassidy said.

Green thumbs wanted Young Selwyn gardeners are being urged to submit their entries for the inaugural Yates Budding Young Gardener competition. A nationwide search is on for young kiwi gardeners, between 5 and 15 years old, who love getting into the garden. The lucky winner will become a Yates ambassador for one year and win a family trip to Australia. Judge and gardening guru, Ruud Kleinpaste, said growing a love of gardening and all things outdoors are behind the competition. “Getting our kids into the garden is the best thing we can do for them and for the planet. “The next generation of New Zealanders is becoming more and more disconnected from nature as digital devices demand more time, rather than getting outside and into nature. “Yates Budding Young Gardener aims to celebrate a love of gardening and encourage children of all levels of capability to further develop their passion. “Whether children are just starting out or have been gardening for a few years and know how to sow seeds, rustle up a few radishes and turn lemons into lemonade — we want to hear from them all,” Mr Kleinpaste said.
Seven regional winners will be selected by the judges, and they will win a massive Yates Budding Young Gardener Hamper valued at more than $300. They will also go through to the final with the grand winner being chosen through a public voting system and will be off to Queensland with their family. Entries close on September 17, and entrants will be required to submit a short video about themselves and their garden. Further details and terms and conditions can be found at yates.co.nz/ budding-young-gardener. ¢

Swimming into summer Registrations are open now for Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s annual swimathon event, Swim to Summer. Following the success of last year’s event, which raised $1,630 for the Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer Foundations, the Selwyn Aquatic Centre is again challenging Selwyn residents to swim or aqua jog a combined total of 10,000km in pool lengths in the lead-up to summer. Selwyn aquatic facilities manager, James Richmond, said the aim of the free event is to get more people active in the pool, more often. “The challenge is for individuals to collectively swim 10,000km before the first day of summer while fundraising for the Mental Health Foundation. “We encourage everyone to come along to work on their fitness and help a worthy cause,” Mr Richmond said. “It was great seeing so many people smash their goals last year and make huge improvements to their fitness and overall health.” Those interested in being involved need to sign up in person at the centre, start swimming or aqua-jogging and log their laps for each swim at reception. Every length of the 25-metre pool or hydrotherapy pool will count towards the total distance. Swimmers’ progress will

“With your help, there is hope! Sharing our full support with the NZCS this Daffodil Day”
The District Plan sets out rules on how land can be used and developed. The council is undertaking the review to make sure it’s still fit for purpose and up-to-date with any relevant changes that have happened since the last plan was notified. All councils are required to review their District Plan every 10 years. Council has released draft changes to a range of topics in the plan for public feedback. Environmental services manager, Tim Harris, said council wants to ensure the new District Plan helps rural, business and residential areas to thrive. “At the same time, we want to make sure our district remains uniquely Selwyn — protecting the things that are important to the character of the district, and managing our natural and physical resources in a sustainable way. “The District Plan potentially affects a wide cross-section of the community. It controls the things you can do on your property, for example, and what activities are allowed to take place in different parts of the district. “It’s important that we hear from as many people as possible to check on whether we’re on the right track with the draft changes we’re proposing.” Mr Harris said the changes being considered in this phase of consultation span across 22 different topics, which
are likely to have most impact and be of most interest to the wider public. Topics have been grouped into four categories according to where they occur and who they’re most likely to affect: Business, Rural, Residential and District-wide. Details of the changes can be found in the consultation summary document, Are we on the right track? found on the council’s website, selwyn.govt.nz/ districtplanreview. “Anyone can provide their feedback on the draft changes proposed so far. We encourage you to also provide any supporting facts, data, examples and documentation to support your comments,” Mr Harris said. “More topics are expected to be added to the consultation summary document later in August. “Feedback from this consultation will help inform the new rules to be included in the Proposed District Plan, which is expected to be notified for formal public consultation in early 2020.” The new District Plan is anticipated to be in place, subject to any Environment Court appeals, in early 2022. Until then any new resource applications will be assessed against the current District Plan. Feedback can be provided online, at drop-in sessions during August and September, or by email or post and is open until 5pm on Monday, October 8. ¢

community centre takes shape u by Kent Caddick
Design concepts for Rolleston’s new library and community centre have now been approved by the Selwyn District Council. Construction of the library and community centre is set to begin in April next year, and it is planned to be completed in 2020. The original budget set at $19.1 million, has increased to $22.2 million. A council spokesperson said the new budget recognises construction costs with comparable library projects in the Canterbury region. “The new budget also leaves room for any additional costs incurred during the building process.” The new library and community centre is one of the centrepieces of the Rolleston town centre master plan, which was adopted by the council in 2014. The plan sets out a vision for a town centre, located on what is currently part of Rolleston Reserve,

Darfield hosts Have a Go Day u by Kent Caddick
More than 800 people turned up to Darfield Domain to give it a go over the weekend. The Selwyn District Council’s annual Have a Go Day was held in near perfect conditions on Sunday afternoon. Those attending were given the opportunity to try a variety of activities, from the more traditional sports like netball, golf, archery and hockey through to skateboarding, caber toss and baseball. The aim of Have a Go Day was to showcase the sport and recreation activities Darfield, and the wider Selwyn district has to offer. Council’s senior events and recreation adviser, Dave Tippett, said it was a fantastic day and is sure some of the young people will have gone from having a go, to being a permanent participant. “A sample of 150 Have a Go Day passports returned indicated that approximately 15% of people were willing to volunteer at a local club. “This is fantastic news for local sport and recreation — because it shows there are plenty of people still willing to volunteer some time. “An example of this was displayed with the Malvern Netball Centre’s activities where a number of people had a go at umpiring, some of whom, now want to take their first-time experience further.”

Biosecurity Award applications closing
Libraries extend opening hours
Selwyn community groups carrying out programmes to protect the local environment are being encouraged to enter the country’s annual Biosecurity Awards.
Selwyn libraries will be open for longer with the changes to opening hours being phased in later this year.
The prestigious awards run by Biosecurity New Zealand recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions to protecting New Zealand from biosecurity threats. Head of Biosecurity New Zealand, Roger Smith, says the awards are our way of celebrating people and organisations across the country who are contributing to New Zealand’s biosecurity. “This may be iwi and hapu, community groups, science providers, businesses, local government — anyone carrying out this vital work in our workplaces, in the bush and our backyards.” There are six open entry award categories — Community Award, Maori Award, Industry Award, Local and Central Government Award, Science Award and Innovation Award; and two awards by nomination only — the Emerging Leader Award and the Minister’s Biosecurity Award. Mr Smith said he is keen to encourage Selwyn community groups to come forward. “Receiving recognition for a community project is great, but another consideration is that the community award carries a $2,500 prize.

Entries for the awards close on August 31, and more information can be found on the MPI website mpi.govt.nz. ¢
Permanently extended hours will be in place across the Selwyn network of libraries by February 2019, with changes being incrementally introduced from November 2018. The changes are in response to a six-month trial of increased library hours aimed at making it easier for people to use library services when it suits them. Selwyn District Council’s community relations manager, Denise Kidd, said the trial saw an increase in library usage on Saturdays and weekday evenings. “Feedback from a recent customer survey also showed that users and residents wanted to see more consistent hours across the four Selwyn libraries as well as a wider range of services and programmes.”
Ms Kidd said council has actively listened to customers’ feedback by making changes, which are aimed at ensuring library services and programmes meet their needs. “Libraries are a hugely important part of local towns and communities across our district,” she said. “These changes are all about increasing the service levels and raising our performance — so that we meet our residents’ and users’ expectations.” The key changes will see weekday opening hours standardised across the district’s libraries (9am to 6pm) and from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays. Lincoln and Rolleston libraries will each remain open until 8pm on one evening a week and will also be open on Sundays from 10am to 4pm. ¢

SERIOUSLY CLEVER IDEAS Making life simple u by Jill Dickie
Sometimes life sends us a few curve balls and we have to find a way to cope — being able to utilise some time-savers and clever tricks will free up our time and money. For instance, do the kids need a new sandpit with shade? How about reusing that two-man tent that has sat in storage for the last couple of years? The builtin floor will hold the sand in, and you can zip it up afterwards to prevent the neighbour’s cat using it as a litter tray. If you’re in a household that buys minced meat in bulk trays for freezing, you might consider packing the meat into bags and flattening it before putting into the freezer. The bags stack neatly, and the meat thaws very quickly being a thinner package. On family movie night, children love to lay on the floor with a blanket. To provide a versatile ‘bed’ sew four pillowcases together along the long side, then insert a pillow into each. When you need to wash them just pull the pillows out.

Don’t you hate when you slice into a freshly baked loaf of bread — the whole loaf squashes flat? If you turn the loaf over and slice from the underside down to the top, the slices stay in shape beautifully. A favourite trick for many is getting someone else to open the split ring on your keys to save your own fingernails, particularly if you’ve spent a small fortune on acrylics. A tip here is to use a staple remover to open the split ring — simple, but efficient. If you need light but don’t have a torch, and you’re using a cellphone that isn’t bright enough, sit a clear water bottle on top of the phone and the light distributes like a lantern. Life has so many challenges, but there are always simple solutions — we just need to find them! ¢

Return of the warrior
Pay attention!
by Andy Bryenton
Suzuki has been producing a small, super-compact off-roader under various names for the past 40 years now — the Samurai was the first in this lineage, and the current Jimny is the latest. In between, we’ve seen the boxy, military-jeep inspired form move with the times, but the recipe has remained the same. It’s one beloved of real off-roaders — take a peppy, high-revving engine, add a generous amount of ground clearance, simple, wheel-at-each-corner chassis design, a gearbox and differentials, which can take the hard knocks, and wrap it up in a price which makes the big boys of the off-road world look bloated and expensive. Like the light little Caterham on the race track or the Toyota MR2 on the road, it’s an exercise in cutting right to the core of what a machine should do, then adding absolutely nothing unnecessary. Which brings us to the latest iteration of the Jimny. It has added something, which the outgoing model doesn’t have, inspired, perhaps, by the success of the retro-cool Ignis, also in the Suzuki stable. It looks fantastic. Cute as a button but still sharp-edged and eager, like a Rottweiler puppy or a baby version of Mercedes’ G-Wagen. The crisp, boxy creases and sharp lines hint at serious off-road chops, evoking everything from the old Willy’s world war two jeep through to the first edition Toyota Land Cruiser. Moreover, because it’s part of the Samurai-Escudo-Jimny heritage, it has a 1.5 litre four-pot motor, proper four-

wheel drive with high and low ratios, and that absurdly lightweight to actually deliver on its promises. For decades, the smallest Suzuki off-roader in the garage has offered supreme value for money. It’s even been a weapon of choice for serious off-road racers, who value its lightness and power to weight ratio when skipping over mud puddles and hitting terrifyingly
steep slopes. Now, Suzuki has added a real sense of retro-inspired cool to the mix, in the same way, Fiat or Mini did when they reinvented their 1960s classics. For practicality and style, this is definitely one to pick!
