Kiwi tradition under threat by Kent Caddick
A Kiwi country tradition may be dying out around Selwyn following a spate of roadside stall thefts across the district this summer. Roadside stallholders are facing either closing down or equipping their simple stalls with expensive security monitoring systems in an attempt to deter the thieves, some of whom appear to be repeat offenders. Darfield’s Toni and Rodney Bellamy have sold fresh potatoes from their roadside Canterbury Premium Potato stall on Old West Coast Road for the past seven years. “We were hit twice last week on successive days and we lost around $130 worth of spuds and cash from the honesty box in the two thefts,” Toni said. “This is the worst summer we have had and we are seriously considering closing it all down.” She believed some of the thieves may be repeat offenders due to the way the stall has been left after the thefts. The Bellamy’s honesty box is now bolted to the stall after the whole box was taken in a previous theft. Toni Bellamy said they had looked at setting up some kind of surveillance system to deter the thieves but the cost looked to be prohibitive and she believed many other roadside stallholders will also be looking at shutting down if the trend continues. “It really is a Kiwi tradition to be able to take a drive into the country and buy fresh produce from the farm gate using the honesty box system. However, honesty is the operative word and it only takes a few dishonest people to stuff it up for all the rest.

Toni Bellamy of Darfield is considering shutting down her roadside potato stall due to the number of thefts this summer
“It has got to the point for us now that we are considering shutting it all down as it is costing us money to have the stall.” She said they may look for another site for their stall but doubts that would deter the thieves. Lyn and Dave Robinson, who sell potatoes from their Davlyn Produce stall just outside West Melton, have also noticed an increase in thefts this summer. “I would say it probably has been our worst summer for thefts,” Lyn said “With us it is mainly the potatoes and not the cashbox as we have moved the actual stall away from the roadside and down our driveway, so it may deter some.”

Youngsters growing with libraries They may not yet be reaching for a copy of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace but many Selwyn youngsters are feeling more comfortable in their local libraries. Babies and toddlers are taking part in Toddler Time and Babytime sessions which have restarted at libraries around Selwyn. Toddler Time sessions are aimed at two to five year-olds, where they enjoy songs and stories, some with interactive felt boards, plus they can take home a picture and stamp as a memory. Theresa Wu, who takes toddler time sessions at Leeston Library says the sessions help children with their literary skills and development. Babytime sessions are for babies up to two years old and feature songs
and nursery rhymes. This year a reading section has been introduced, featuring large picture books and board books to help babies engage with the books using all of their senses. Sessions also have scarves, maracas, puppets and bubbles for babies to play with. The sessions are free, and run weekly during the school term. Toddler Time sessions run at: Darfield Library on Mondays from 10–10.30am; Rolleston Library on Tuesdays from 9.30–10am and 10.30–11am; Leeston Library on Thursdays from 10–10.30am; Lincoln Library on Thursdays at 10.30– 11am.

Selwyn community groups, schools and local bodies are being invited to apply for funding from Keep New Zealand Beautiful for its nationwide Beverage Container Recycling Community Grants Programme. The programme supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation, now in its third year, provides funds to help local communities put in place initiatives to increase beverage container recycling. The Coca-Cola Foundation has provided $225,000 in grant funding for 2015 projects, which will be made available to community groups, councils and schools for local programmes. General Manager of Keep New Zealand Beautiful Heather Saunderson said this was a fantastic opportunity for
local communities to showcase their initiatives and provide real benefits back to their residents. “Funding applications are open for projects ranging from $3,000 to $15,000 which will encourage and facilitate ‘out & about’ recycling programmes at a community level, provide education, encourage people to get involved through innovative recycling methods and build on a community’s already existing capability to live more sustainably. “We aim to make 2015 programme the best to date.” Applications close at 5pm on Friday, February 27 and successful applicants will be notified in March. All programme details can be downloaded from www. knzb.org.nz.

District wide water rate proposed
3
by Kent Caddick
A standardised district wide rate for water and wastewater services is in the pipeline for Selwyn along with a possible proposal to install water meters on all properties. As part of Selwyn District Council’s Long Term Plan (LTP) process residents are to be consulted on a new funding model for the supply of water and wastewater removal which will see ratepayers across the district paying the same for the services. Currently, charges for water and wastewater vary across the district. Water charges currently range from $225 for water in Lincoln to $1,500 for properties in Raven Drive, near Springston. Wastewater charges range from $425 for Southbridge properties to $2,246 for a small number of properties in Sunshine Terrace in Arthur’s Pass. Council’s chief executive David Ward said the proposed change recognises that residents throughout the district receive similar levels of water and wastewater services and should therefore pay a similar charge for these services.
“The change is also designed to ensure basic services remain affordable for rural communities into the future, when changes to legislation will require upgrades to a number of smaller water supplies. “Service standards are increasingly being determined by government legislation and regulations,” Mr Ward said. Mayor Kelvin Coe is happy for the proposal to go out for public input as part of council’s LTP consultation document to be released in April, however, he has personal reservations over the new funding model. “I think it is dangerous not to recognise the difference in costs in servicing different areas,” he said. “The proposal has the potential to lead to poor allocation of resources, in other words encourage development in areas which are more expensive to service. While it talks of efficiencies these have not been identified or costed
Selwyn residents could soon all be paying the same charge for water to the tap
out, other than water metering helping to reduce demand, and this can be achieved under the current system.” The exact level of the new rate has yet to be determined, but once finalised will be included in the draft LTP. Proposals to install water meters at all Selwyn properties over the next few years may also be a part of the LTP consultation but council has yet to make a decision on that. Currently around 60% of Selwyn properties connected to a council water supply have a meter installed, including all new subdivisions.
“Metering works well in Rolleston where around 60% of the cost of providing water is met through a fixed charge and 40% of the cost is met through water metering,” Mr Ward said. “Metered charges allow people to have some control how much they pay for water and also encourage people not to waste water. “Where properties also pay for part of the cost of their water through water meter charges, households will pay a lower district wide ‘base’ water rate than in other areas to recognise this.”
Track opens up spectacular Selwyn views This year’s Hororata Parish’s ‘bike, run and walk’ fundraiser will offer those taking part a unique opportunity to access the Rakaia River terraces with stunning views of the riverbed and the Central Plains Water intake site. With the help of two Windwhistle farmers the Parish has been able to open up an 8km private 4WD farm track which winds its way down to the edge of the Rakaia Riverbed then climbs back up onto the terrace. Reverend Jenni Carter from the Hororata Parish said the event is being held on February 22nd and seeing the CPW intake is only one highlight of this track. “The views of the Rakaia riverbed are breath-taking and the track goes past the historic lime works which have significant geological interest. The track will be great fun no whether you choose to cycle, run or walk. “The track will not be able to access the CPW site but from the terraces the

intake and control structures will be able to be viewed.” As an added bonus Mt Hutt Helicopters will be offering scenic flights on the day. The flights will give amazing views of the Rakaia River and show the scope of the CPW irrigation project from the air. Mt Hutt Helicopters are offering heavily discounted flights at only $55 per person. The Parish will be running a BBQ with hamburgers, sausages and bacon butties for sale, as well as tea, coffee and other refreshments at the start/ finish line. “This is a unique opportunity to enjoy a great bike, run or walk for all ages, on a track which is not open to the

closed at 4.00pm. Entry is $10 per person, while children under 15 years are free but as this event is on private farm land dogs are not permitted. This is an all-weather event. You can find more information at www.hororataparish.co.nz.

Antarctica visit invitation Selwyn artists wanting to following in the footsteps of one of the district’s greatest painters, Austen Deans, are being invited to be a part of Antarctica New Zealand’s Community Engagement Programme. Antarctica New Zealand is seeking innovative proposals from media and art communities interested in travelling to Antarctica during the 2015–16 summer season. For more than 58 years, Antarctica NZ has been supporting scientific research, and collaborative media and artist programmes, on the frozen continent and in the Southern Ocean. Austen Deans, regarded as one of Canterbury’s finest
painters and who grew up in the Malvern Hills, was part of the programme when he visited Antarctica in the summer of 1981–82. Antarctica NZ says the Community Engagement Programme, which was formerly known as the Media Programme and Artists and Writers Programme, plays a crucial part in increasing the public’s awareness of Antarctic science and our operations in Antarctica.
Health warning lifted A health warning on the Selwyn River at Whitecliffs Domain has been lifted after almost three months. The algal bloom health warning was issued along the Selwyn River at Whitecliffs in November last year after the discovery of the potentially toxic blue-green algae (benthic cyanobacteria) in the river. However, the Canterbury District Health board says recent surveys at Whitecliffs Domain have shown the quantity of the toxic in the river has decreased and algal cover is now below levels of concern to public health.
Canterbury’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr Alistair Humphrey, said Environment Canterbury’s sampling will continue to the end of this summer then will resume next summer when there is increased likelihood of cyanobacteria growth. The algae appears as dark brown or black mats attached to rocks along the riverbed and occurs naturally but can increase rapidly during warmer months.
“It’s a rare privilege to be invited to one of the most unique regions on earth and to have the opportunity to immerse yourself in its story, science, history and grandeur,” Antarctica NZ’s marketing and communications Jeanine Begg said. “The opportunity comes with a serious objective: to engage with the science and translate its immense importance to New Zealanders.” Through a competitive online solicitation process, this opportunity is extended to a wide range of media including but not limited to, journalists, news reporters, painters, illustrators, science or fiction writers, sculptors and photographers. “We are interested in fresh Malvern painter Austen Deans was one of the earliest new ideas that demonstrate the artists to visit Antarctica on an artists programme applicant’s ability to engage with a variety of people.

Choosing a wine by Celia and Hennie Bosman, True and Daring Winery
With more than 500 wine labels in New Zealand alone — let’s not even start on the rest of the world — we can be forgiven for being a bit overwhelmed when it comes to choosing wine. How can you possibly know what you will like and what wine is worth spending your hard earned money on? Here in New Zealand we are also bombarded by endless deals and special offers. There are some very sophisticated marketing and sales techniques that the large companies use. It is very easy to be caught up in it all. We certainly all have ‘go to’ wines that we know that we will always enjoy. But with so much choice out there wouldn’t it be fun to experiment? The easiest way to be introduced to different wines is to taste at opportunities like wine shows, in-store tastings at wine shops and of course at wineries. The winery cellar door is the best place to truly get an insight
into what the wine is all about. The opportunity to talk to the producers beats everything hands down. We always say to people: ‘dare to taste and be true to what you like’. If you don’t have the chance to taste then what can you rely on if you wish to try something different? That is when we fall back to looking for reviews and medals. These are useful tools for us and common sense says that if a wine has received some favourable review or medal then the wine must be good. Well yes, from a quality perspective you can be confident that third party endorsement is a very useful tool, but, and here is the rider, from a personal taste perspective you could go very wrong.

PAMPER YOUR PETS Are bones good for dogs? by Yolande Howell, Selwyn Vet Centre
Feeding bones to dogs is generally believed to be a good thing. Gnawing on a bone is the best way to keep your dog’s teeth clean — and a great way to keep a dog occupied for a good long time. However, the choice of bone given is of utmost importance. Lean, fresh meaty bones with minimal fat are best. These can include beef, venison or lamb long bones, while brisket bones are also good. They must be raw or smoked — cooked bones of any kind are more likely to fragment into sharp pieces. Never feed chicken bones to dogs, also avoid ribs and chop bones, and as mentioned above never feed cooked bones of any type. Most dogs cope fine with a bone, however all dogs are different. Many dogs in rural areas are fed bones daily, and never have an issue with them. Other dogs can struggle and may suffer episodes of vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation after chewing on a bone. The high fat content of bone marrow can in some dogs trigger pancreatitis, a potentially dangerous condition. If your dog is not used to having bones and your vet suggests trying, then perhaps offer a bone for just five or ten minutes and then take it away, try again a day or two later. Avoid any sudden changes and if there are any problems just hold off. Once they are used to it, a bone once a month is good. Marrow bones can be full of fat, so factor this in if your dog is on a diet — to the extent that the day the dog has

a bone there is no other food offered to compensate. If your dog cannot cope with bones then there are many commercially available products that can be good to chew on and effective at keeping teeth clean. These include VeggieDents, Greenies, Dentistix and many others. And then the gold standard for keeping dogs’ teeth clean and healthy — daily brushing. Nowhere near as daunting as it sounds. There are small thimble type brushes for small dogs, and chicken flavour toothpaste helps too. In conclusion — bones are good if your dog can cope with them, and keeping teeth clean is of paramount importance.

How to deal with troubling stains
Stains can be the bane of every householders life, especially carpets stains, but also that favourite dress or table cloth. The golden rule when dealing with stains is to act quickly before the stain sets, however Consumer New Zealand has some advice when dealing with those stains. The first is professional dry-cleaning or carpet cleaning which is recommended for valuable items. The second is a prewash soak or stain remover, however, be aware a remover may be good for some stains but not for others. The golden rules • Act quickly — before the stain sets. • Check the fabric care label. Wool, silk, synthetics and non-colourfast garments can be damaged by some chemicals such as bleach or meths. • Take expensive or delicate garments to a drycleaner. • If in doubt about a treatment, test on an inconspicuous spot first. • If you don’t know what caused the stain, sponge it with neat dishwashing liquid then rinse. • Use light brushing or dabbing motions. Never rub a stain. • Rinse with cold water unless otherwise directed. Hot water can set a stain.
Immediate response is the key to any successful stain removal and here are some ideas for a stain removal kit to keep handy in case of those accidents. • Talcum powder — to soak up excess moisture. • An enzyme detergent — most laundry detergent powders contain enzymes. • Ammonia — you’ll find cloudy ammonia in supermarkets. • White vinegar. • Chlorine bleach. • Glycerine. • An alcohol-based solvent such as meths. • A fat/oil solvent — turps, white spirits or kerosene. • A carpet spot cleaner for carpets or rugs. Carpet stains Treat the stain immediately. First, remove as much excess as possible. For liquid stains, blot up as much of the liquid as you can. Dab the stain — don’t scrub (it can damage the carpet pile and leave matted fibres). Next, dilute the stain with cold water and continue blotting until the

stain fades. Don’t saturate the carpet — if the backing becomes wet it can create new stains or even grow mould. Candle wax, crayon and gum are easier to remove after being frozen with ice. Treat the residue with an appropriate carpet spot cleaner. Test the cleaner first on an inconspicuous patch of carpet, to check that it won’t affect the colour. To stop the stain from spreading, work from the outside edges in towards the centre. Large or stubborn stains may need professional carpet cleaning. Some stains permanently change the carpet’s colour, and are untreatable. These include types of dye (such as hair dye), chlorine bleach, mustard with turmeric, acid or alkaline cleaners, and plant fertilisers. You may need to get the stained section replaced. Please note that if the stain isn’t liquid and looks serious — for example, tracked in oily footprints — don’t touch it until you’ve called your insurance company. You may find that repairing the damage is covered by your contents policy. Common household stain removers • Bleach: Bleach kills mildew and mould and is good at removing coloured stains. Once the stain has gone, wash out the bleach thoroughly. The downside is that strong bleach may fade or damage the item (chlorine bleach is particularly risky). Always dilute following the label directions. A mild bleach like hydrogen peroxide (mixed at 5tsp/0.5L water) is less likely to damage fabrics if used correctly. • Solvents: Solvents remove stains by dissolving them. Nail polish remover
works on lacquers and some paints and resins, as well as nail polish. Methylated spirits (meths) is good on adhesive tape, PVA, latex and water-based paints, ballpoint ink, waxes, makeup, correction fluid and chocolate. White spirits (used in lighter fluid), turpentine (turps), and kerosene can cope with fat or oil stains, tar and asphalt and some adhesives. Some solvents can damage fabrics so always check the care label first. The fumes can also be hazardous. • Mild acids: Mild acids such as white vinegar, cream of tartar or lemon juice help remove rust and some food stains. • Eucalyptus oil: This can remove some adhesive glues, fat, wax, gum, and tar. • Lubricating agents: Lubricating agents such as glycerine or petroleum jelly help soften old stains. To loosen an old stain rub in glycerine and leave it for an hour. You can get glycerine from a pharmacy. Washing agents: Washing agents weaken the bonds holding the stain so it can be washed away. Ammonia and borax are all-round cleaners. Enzyme-based laundry detergents, stain removers and soakers target protein-based stains, such as blood and egg-yolk. Mix the laundry detergent to a paste with cold water before applying it This article was prepared with the assistance of Consumer New Zealand.

LIFESTYLES
Commit to get fit by Karen Hulston, personal trainer
Being fitter is a common New Year’s resolution, however, good intentions don’t necessarily lead to action, as research suggests only 8% of people who make New Year’s resolutions keep them. If you want to get fitter it can sometimes be challenging to stay focused, but it is a proven fact you are more likely to stay motivated if you have a good training programme. Not having a training programme is similar to baking a cake without a recipe. Without a plan to follow, it is too easy to make mistakes resulting in a huge waste of time and effort. In my past as an NZ Army PT instructor, I was disappointed by the amount of people who visited the gym without a training programme. They would randomly move from one machine to the other and would leave looking disappointed. On the other hand the athletes who had training programmes would move around the gym with a purpose and would often leave fatigued but content with their gains. Since leaving the military I now run boot camps and health and fitness programmes. For the clients committed to my programmes, they have noticed huge improvements in comparison to my irregular clients that attend the odd fitness session. I understand that not everyone is fortunate enough to have a personal trainer or to be on a structured boot camp or health and fitness programme. If this applies to you then an alternative option would be to write your own programme. Below is a step by step guide to assist you in writing your new fitness programme: 1. Identify your goals — Figure out the components of fitness you want to improve eg strength, speed, cardio respiratory, flexibility etc.
If you are reading this Then so are thousands of your potential customers Call The Record today to discuss your advertising needs
03 347 1564
2. Testing — Find an objective test to measure the components of fitness you want to improve. Most people want to improve strength and/or cardio– respiratory fitness. To test strength count how many repetitions of a single exercise you can do in 1 minute eg press ups, squats, and crunches. To test cardio–respiratory fitness; time how long it takes to run/walk, bike or swim a certain distance. Record your results and then do the exact same test at the end of the programme to see improvements. 3. Design a programme — Consider your goals and set your workouts at an appropriate level based on your strengths and weaknesses which were highlighted during fitness testing. Your workouts should be challenging but achievable, there’s no point running 10km for your first session if you struggled to run 2km during fitness testing. 4. Write your own programme — Make a table with a space for each day of the week and then write in what you are going to do for each day, don’t forget to add in rest days to allow for recovery. To maintain fitness you will need to train 2–3 times a week, if you want to improve then you need to train at least 4–6 times a week. After writing up the first week then add another table for each week of your programme, ensure you increase the volume and/or intensity of your workouts on a weekly basis. 5. Record progress daily — Keep a training journal to record distances, times or repetitions conducted. You could also write how you felt before, during and after the workout.

It is a proven fact you are more likely to stay motivated if you have a good training programme
Boot camp graduates pose for a team photo after completing a rigorous boot camp programme
A common mistake made by most, is staying on the same programme for far too long and wondering why you are not improving. As Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. The body adapts very quickly, to prevent this you should change your programme every 6 to 8 weeks. Now that you know how to write a training programme to get fit, there should be no more excuses just plenty

GARDENING
Reap what you sow by Sarah O’Neil, www.gogardening.co.nz
Summer is coming to an end but that is no time for slacking off as there is plenty to keep gardeners busy in the autumn vege patch. After months of harvesting and processing, it may be with a sigh of relief when you notice the vegetable garden has peaked and starts to slow down. There are only so many zucchini you can eat. The freezer is full and couldn’t possibly fit another tomato, and every spare jar is filled with jams, pickles and chutneys. At this time of year there is a strong temptation to down tools and walk away, promising yourself you’ll sort it out over winter. But really it is in your garden’s best interest to clear out the remains of summer and prepare for winter with the same care and attention you gave it in the spring. The last of the summer harvest If it’s time to clear the space and you still have green tomatoes clinging to the vine, you can harvest these. Hang the
vines in a sunny greenhouse or put the fruit on a sunny window sill to ripen. Alternatively you could make fried green tomatoes or green tomato chutney. Nothing should go to waste in your garden. Don’t pull out your beans, peas and other legumes — just chop them off at the base and dig the roots in, leaving them to break down. These will actually nourish the soil as legumes have nitrogen fixing nodules on their roots and will improve the quality of the soil. As for those lingering summer crops, keep an eye out for that first frost as it will wipe them out overnight. Building a healthy heap Clear away the remains of each crop as it comes to an end. Put it on your compost pile so it can give back some of the nutrients it has taken from the garden over the long summer months.
Autumn is the time to build up those compost bins
However, if the plants show any sign of disease, don’t put them on the compost. Put them in the bin. Adding diseased material to the compost pile risks spreading disease around your garden, as the next generation of bugs will be lurking in your lovely, nutrient, rich, dark compost. In an ideal world the compost heap heats up enough to kill said bugs, but in reality this is unlikely in winter unless your heap is huge. Layering it With so much end of season debris at our disposal, this is a time when the compost pile can be filled quite quickly. For a beautiful, sweet smelling compost it’s important to keep the balance of green and brown material in proportion. You need about twice as much brown material as green. The brown matter provides the carbon element required and is generally in the form of twigs, and dry leaves. Paper will
also help aerate the pile. The green material comes from fresh leaves, grass clippings and kitchen waste. This provides nitrogen which creates heat as it breaks down, helping the composting process turn your garden waste into the nutrient rich compost. Getting ready for winter Once the garden is cleared, dig over your soil removing all traces of weeds and their roots. It is better to do this now before the soil becomes cold and wet in the winter. Digging sodden soil is very bad for its structure, besides which it’s simply not fun to be out there digging in the depths of winter. You will want to use least some of your newly cleared space to grow some fantastic crops over the winter. For example, leeks, Brussels sprouts, silver beet, kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, beetroot, parsnips and carrots can all be sown now for winter meals.
Cauliflower is a favourite winter crop
