Residents to challenge hall’s closure u by Belinda Cullen-Reid

Sheffield residents are set to fight Selwyn District Council’s sudden closure of their community hall, hiring an independent engineer to challenge council’s findings.

Historic field day a hit

Farmer’s field transformed into a historic early settler town …

P7

The Sheffield hall was deemed unfit for public use last week after a council initiated Detailed Engineering Evaluation (DEE) report by AECOM New Zealand Ltd found the hall met only 10% of building standards longitudinally and 16% crosswise.

A building must reach at least 34% of National Building Standards (NBS) in

both categories to be open to public use.

Malvern Community Board representative Kerry Pauling said the Sheffield Hall committee is disputing the DEE findings and had hired a structural engineer to do a peer review on the report.

“We’ve got a bit of expert advice. We think the report falls short of a detailed

engineering evaluation and we think the building is a lot better than what the report suggests,” Mr Pauling said.

He said comments from a SDC staff member led him to believe council were considering demolishing parts of the hall, which he said was unnecessary. continued on page 4 …

Repairs dictated pool shut down

The Selwyn District Council is defending the Selwyn Aquatic Centre’s third pool closure since it opened last year.

The 25 metre lap pool at the aquatic centre in Rolleston will close temporarily at the end of this month so tiles on the pool floor can be repaired, according to SDC Community Services Manager Lesley Symington.

“The current problem affects two small areas of the pool floor around one metre by two metres and one metre by one metre,” Ms Symington said.

“The pool construction began in 2012 and during this period small earthquakes were occurring frequently.

“The tiling problem may have occurred as a result of a small earthquake happening shortly before the concrete slabs were laid when the pool was constructed.

“A small number of tiles were displaced in January this year and tiles were re-laid following this. More recently a number of different tiles over the same concrete slab have been displaced and this is why further retiling work is required. This second tile displacement

was not present when the retiling in January occurred.”

The pool will close from September 29 until October 6 which coincides with the first week of the school holidays.

“Unfortunately there is never a good time for the main pool to be closed.

There will always be maintenance required at different times of the year and occasional disruption is unavoidable,” Ms Symington said.

“School holidays in fact offer the best opportunity to undertake maintenance.

During term time the main pool is very busy with swimming lessons and it would be very disruptive to the swim school to close the main pool when lessons are scheduled.”

Ms Symington said despite the lap pool being closed, four other pools at the centre will be open during this period.

She said the other pools, the learn-toswim pool, hydrotherapy pool, toddlers pool, leisure pool and lazy river, will remain open. ¢

The Selwyn District Council was expected to vote this week in favour of a proposal that will see Ellesmere St John locate services in central Rolleston on council land.

Ellesmere St John hoped to sign a long term lease on part of a council owned site at the corner of Kidman Street and Norman Kirk Drive and purchase an existing dwelling on the site which it intended to convert into an ambulance staff facility.

An agreement was expected to be made at council’s meeting a fortnight ago, but was delayed after a last minute request for time was made by the New Zealand Fire Service who

was also interested in locating at the site. Douglas Marshall, SDC Manager, Corporate Services said St John and the fire service had met following the meeting to discuss working in together.

“They have agreed that being located in Rolleston on adjacent land is desirable and that being in a combined building is not critical. NZFS is now working on an overall concept plan for their site, adjacent to the site proposed for St John’s use,” Mr Douglas said. ¢

Residents to challenge hall’s closure “The indications are that the building is salvageable for not a lot of money.

There may be some remedial work, but it may not be significant.

“It’s used a lot by the community so we hope we can save it,” Mr Pauling said.

The hall committee has employed structural engineer Richard Seville to evaluate the hall and his report is due to council by October 16.

Council CEO David Ward said the hall built in 1901 would perform poorly in an earthquake due to its age and construction materials. “The hall is constructed partly in cement render over timber framing, and partly in unfilled concrete masonry blocks. This construction is typical of many older

halls and community buildings in New Zealand. The parapet of the building was identified as being at risk of collapse in an earthquake.”

Mr Ward said once the report from Mr Seville was received council will review it and look at the available options including strengthening work to lift the building’s safety ratings, allowing it to reopen.

However, he said if this was found to be uneconomic the community would need to consider alternate options for hosting local events. “The independent engineering evaluation may provide additional information which may allow the current NBS rating of the hall to be adjusted and the hall’s closure reconsidered,” Mr Ward said. ¢

Competition for green thumbs u by Belinda Cullen-Reid

The Rolleston Residents Association garden competition held this spring gives garden-proud Selwynites the chance to show off their green thumbs.

Funding go ahead for Springfield u by Belinda Cullen-Reid

Selwyn District Council has approved funding of $23,500 to go toward the upgrade of playgrounds and a reserve in the Springfield area.

The money will come from the Springfield Reserves’ development contribution account which has a total of $53,594 in it, accrued from local subdivision developments.

“This is the first time that there have been requests from the Springfield community to utilise the funds held,” SDC asset manager Mark Rykers said.

The money will be used for soft fall covering in the Springfield Domain

playground and the playground located in the town.

It will also be put toward the purchase of plantings for Tramway Reserve.

“There has been some growth in the township and wider catchment as well as significant visitor growth.

This has placed increasing demands on existing recreational space and facilities in the township,” Mr Rykers said.

Mrs Russell said although entries officially closed on September 19 they will consider late entries.

“The best thing about the whole competition is seeing quality that you do not expect in the gardens and also being able to acknowledge the hard work that goes into gardening in Rolleston.

It is wonderful to be able to say thank you to those gardeners who make our town a better place to live by building community pride.”

Helping others learn

Organisers bowled over

Thirteen year old Clearview Primary student Aimee Taylor saw a need and did something about it, collecting classroom resources from businesses and local families for a school in Fiji.

A combination of having a good time and raising money for a good cause ensured the annual Darfield Indoor Bowls Club’s competition was once again a huge success according to the club’s President Russell Green.

p Aimee Taylor in her modern learning environment at Clearview School in Rolleston which she said was a stark contrast to the under resourced classrooms she visited at a Mana Island school in Fiji

On a recent trip to a school on Fiji’s Mana Island Aimee was touched by the lack of classroom resources compared to her modern learning environment at Clearview.

“The classroom was really, really empty. It was sad. They had nothing compared to us,” Aimee said.

Aimee was struck by the lack of technology in the classroom which she thinks were more reminiscent of what New Zealand schools were like in her parents’ time.

“There were no interactive whiteboards, in fact there were no whiteboards. They just had an old chalk board that they stuck things on.”

The students did not have computers or iPads, though the teacher had a laptop computer the students could use as a privilege. Aimee was also struck by the difference in classroom designs, with Clearview having large open planned buildings with a myriad of different styled work spaces for students and teachers to use.

“They just had to work at their set desks or on the ground.

We have all this new stuff.

Everything they had was old. We walked out of the school and said

they have nothing compared to us.

But the children were very happy there.”

On returning to New Zealand Aimee took it upon herself to do something to help the friendly children she’d met on Mana Island.

As a homework project Aimee drafted a letter which she sent to major New Zealand stationery retailers asking for contributions for the Fijian school. She also put a notice out to her classmate’s families asking for supplies.

Aimee was surprised and delighted with the response and has since accumulated nearly 60kg worth of supplies including a digital camera, exercise books, picture and chapter books and other stationery items.

The only problem now is the cost of sending everything with each of the four boxes of supplies she’s packaged costing around $200 to send. Aimee says she has already had someone volunteer to pay for one box to be sent to Fiji and hopes other people will put money towards the freight costs.

“I think other people should have what we have,” Aimee said.

p Around 130 people joined in the annual Darfield Indoor Bowls fundraising night for Friends of the Darfield Hospital

This year the competition, which began in the mid-1990s, attracted a total of 32 teams who keenly vied for the top places while raising money for Friends of the Darfield Hospital.

“We are very happy with how the night went,” Mr Green said.

“Each team had four players and at least two of those had to be people who didn’t play indoor bowls, so we had lots of people who didn’t normally play. It was a very fun time.

“The main thing was we raised money for the friends (of the hospital).”

He said around $4,000 was raised and the indoor bowling club was very grateful for the generous sponsorship and prizes it received from local businesses and individuals. ¢

Historic field day a hit u by Belinda Cullen-Reid

What was once a farmer’s field was transformed last weekend into a historic early settler town with children running through the streets in period clothing, the puffing sounds and smoking stacks of the traction engines and the call of the town crier heralding the latest news from Calder Street, old West Melton.

Capturing life as it was 150 years ago the Time after Time field day was a great success with over 2,500 people visiting the makeshift replica town which was built last week on a farm near West Melton, according to committee member Nicky Parker.

“We were thrilled with the turnout and we’ve had great feedback. It was above expectations,” Mrs Parker said.

The replica village included a cottage with an outhouse, a general store, a blacksmith in operation and various displays including traction engine

powered saw milling, butter churning and a ploughing demonstration.

While crediting West Melton resident Andrew Sharpe with the vision of building the replica village, Mrs Parker said there had been a huge effort by all the volunteers who put on the field day.

“The end result was amazing. There were stunning street scenes and it was fantastic to see people coming through.”

Mrs Parker said some of the buildings would be relocated to the West Melton School for the parade day held at Labour Weekend. ¢

A LITTLE

WILD WEST IN COURTENAY

by Belinda Cullen-Reid

While some people dream of having a cowboy adventure under the big skies of the open prairies, one couple, who live on a 37 hectare property at Courtenay, have taken that fantasy a little more literally.

J

asmine Lochore and Mike Morrow purchased their own home on the range, a wagon of the Wild West kind, which they rent out to those daring to travel out to the plains west of Christchurch.

“Heaps of people really get into the experience of staying in a wagon,” Jasmine said.

“We had a couple from Australia who left a message to us apologising for the arrow holes in the wagon’s canvas. They said they’d been attacked by Indians in the night.”

The idea to purchase the wagon came from Jasmine who saw it advertised on a website in 2010.

“I kept going back to the listing and looking at it over a couple of months. I imagined what it would look like in our horse paddock,” she said.

Eventually curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go and have a look. “I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it. As soon as I walked in I feel in love with it. When I left I rang Mike up and said I’ve bought a wagon.”

The wagon had been built by a couple who lived in Halswell and was designed to replicate the covered wagon, or Prairie Schooner, used in the western states of America in the mid-nineteenth century.

“I loved all the wood they used inside the wagon. I loved the warm feel of it

It also has a heat pump, though this is not visible, and an electric fire that has the appearance of

an old fashioned wood stove, complete with flame.

Candles and lamps adorn the wagon to provide atmospheric lighting for romantic evenings.

These too are powered by electricity for convenience and to avoid risk of fire.

Both a shower and toilet are to be found near the back of the wagon, as well as a wash basin with taps and flowing water.

Jasmine Lochore takes a break in the wagon she bought a couple of years ago and now hires out for luxury escapes on her Courtenay property

Running water is a luxury early settlers would have loved to have had in their wagons.

For those wanting to be more adventurous when bathing, outside a screened area housing an outdoor bath promises a great view of the stars on a clear Canterbury night.

Some nifty innovations were installed by the original designer including a wooden slab coffee table that at the push of a button will rise up to the height of a dining table. The bed moves too, with the push of a button it will tilt so that you can sit in the comfort of the bed while enjoying the views outside.

Their property is situated at the back of the Courtenay School which closed some years ago. The school pool has remained open and they pay each year to have a pool key, so those staying in the warmer months are able to use the pool for swims.

“People are amazed at how you can come a short distance from the city and feel completely removed from everything.” Jasmine said.

People from far and wide choose to stay in the wagon, including visitors from England, Germany and America.

“We get a lot of people from England.

They like to go glamping (glamorous camping) and so we are on a few glamping websites.”

Jasmine said the wagon is also popular with New Zealanders, including locals who want to have time out without

the hassle of lengthy road trips and organising care for their pets.

Adding to the experience are the farm animals that sometimes live in the paddock next to the wagon including two friendly kune kune pigs called Rupert and Poppy and a 40-year-old pony called Starbuck.

The wagon is a popular place to stay for newlyweds and those celebrating anniversaries. There has even been

a marriage proposal amidst the canvassed walls.

“It is pretty romantic,” Jasmine said.

This is not the couple’s main business. They both work from home running their business importing gate automation systems. They are also busy on the farm, which is used mainly for growing small seed crops such as mustard and chrysanthemum seeds.

LIFESTYLES

Blood pressure in the spotlight The Stroke Foundation of New Zealand, with the support of partners St John, Wellington Free Ambulance, Foodstuffs and Rotary is again running a national Blood Pressure Awareness campaign.

The groups want to raise public awareness about the relationship between untreated high blood pressure and stroke and to encourage people to have their blood pressure checked regularly.

Around 9,000 people have strokes in New Zealand each year and about a third of these are due to high blood pressure.

Free blood pressure checks will be offered in Selwyn as part of the campaign, which begins on September 29, and information will be provided about stroke risk factors. St John volunteers and other health professionals will carry out the blood pressure checks.

People found to have a raised blood pressure or with medical questions or concerns will be referred to their GP for follow-up. High blood pressure is strongly related to strokes. It puts stress on the walls of blood vessels and can cause them to break down, which can lead to a stroke.

It can also accelerate common forms of heart disease, or cause blood clots or plaque to break off the artery walls and block a brain artery, causing a stroke.

High blood pressure is often called a ‘silent killer’ because people can have high blood pressure without experiencing any symptoms.

What is blood pressure?

As blood travels around our body it puts pressure on our blood vessel walls.

Blood pressure measures this. Blood pressure is expressed as two numbers eg 120/80, which is expressed as “120 over 80”.

The higher number is your Systolic Pressure (eg 120). This is the pressure on your blood vessel walls as your heart pumps.

The lower number is your Diastolic Pressure (eg 80). This is the pressure on your blood vessel walls as your heart rests between pumps.

Normal blood pressure is around 120/80, but lower is generally better, because the lower your blood pressure, the lower your risk of stroke.

If your blood pressure is consistently over 140/90, you have high blood pressure (hypertension) and will need to see a doctor for advice and treatment.

The Stroke Foundation is urging all Selwyn residents to have their blood

pressure checked regularly, even if people are feeling well as high blood pressure often goes undetected.

It says there are things people can do to help control blood pressure other than medication.

• Eating less processed food and more fresh fruit, vegetables, wholegrains and lean meat.

• Eating less salt • Not smoking • Getting active — sit less and aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical p The Stroke Foundation of New Zealand is urging Selwyn activity most days of residents to keep a close eye on their blood pressure the week.

• If you drink alcohol, keep your Face: Look at the person’s face intake low — no more than two and ask them to try and smile; is one standard drinks for women and side drooping? three for men. Aim for at least two Arms: Ask them to raise both arms; alcohol free days per week. is one side weak?

The Stroke Foundation also wants to Speech: Ask them to say something educate people on how to recognise if simple; are they unable to speak or are they or someone else is having a stroke. the words jumbled or slurred?

It says the FAST acronym can help Time: Act fast and call 111. Time lost people recognise stroke and by learning may mean brain lost. the simple FAST symptom check it could A complete description of symptoms help to save a life. FAST stands for Face, can be found on the Stroke Foundation’s Arms, Speech, Time: website, www.stroke.org.nz. ¢

WINE AND FOOD

My Italian kitchen: The tradition of the twice-baked biscuit u by Belinda Cullen-Reid

Traditional Italian biscotti, which translated into English means twice-cooked, came about centuries ago.

In a time in culinary history where there were no preservatives, and travellers wanted to take with them a food that was easy to carry and would not spoil in a hurry, biscotti made the perfect travelling companion.

For this reason the traditional recipe for the thinly sliced biscuit uses just flour, sugar, eggs, pine nuts and also almonds which are neither roasted nor skinned. p Traditional biscotti uses whole almonds as a key ingredient.

Originally there were This twice baked delight was often enjoyed with a dessert wine. no raising agents such as Photo by Carquinyolis d’Arenys. baking powder or yeast used and no fats such as butter or olive oil. the dry delight into vin santo, a Tuscan The biscuit is cooked first as a log, fortified wine. then sliced and cooked once more to get Nowadays tradition has made way rid of moisture that may cause it to go for modern variations and biscotti are off too quickly once on the road enjoyed in a variety of flavours and as In Tuscany, where my Italian side of an accompaniment to many kinds of the family originates, biscotti were eaten beverage, not the least my favourite as an after dinner treat, by first dipping caffè espresso. ¢

Ingredients for simple biscotti 125 grams plain flour 100 grams caster sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder Pinch of salt 50 grams almonds (whole) 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 egg Method 1. Turn your oven on to 160°C. 2. Use an electric beater to beat the egg and caster sugar together in a bowl for a couple of minutes until the mixture becomes aerated and light.

3. Add flour, baking powder, salt, almonds and lemon zest and fold into the mixture using a wooden spoon.

4. Here comes the messy bit.

With a little flour on your hands knead the dough to make a ball. On a floured board mould the ball into a log shape no more than 4cm high.

5. Bake on a greased oven tray for around 20 minutes, or until the log starts to turn golden.

6. Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes — then with a sharp straight edged knife chop the log into thin slices, around 1.5cm thick.

You should be able to slice through the whole almonds successfully, but if you have any problems try a bread knife instead and slice back and forth gently.

7. Return the tray back to the oven.

Some people leave the biscotti standing in the original log shaped position; others like to lie them flat. I prefer to leave them standing so the colour stays the same on both sides while cooking.

8. They will only need to be cooked for another 5 or so minutes. Keep an eye on them and take them out once the colour changes to a slightly deeper golden brown on the edges.

9. Enjoy with a desert wine after dinner or with your coffee for afternoon tea. If there are any left over these can be stored in an airtight container and will probably last for up to a month depending on the moisture content.

New Jazz hits a high note u by Andy Bryenton

The opening shots may have already been heard in the battle for frugal, fun motoring, but the latest vehicle to join the fray has upped the ante yet again.

Honda’s new Jazz RS boasts a tiny 5.4 litres per 100k’s, but a mixture of clever layout and ultra-modern engine technology give it more zest than one would expect from a 1.5 four door family hatch. The first thing you notice (aside from the bold, Euro-Civic-like styling of

the new Jazz and its range of vivid paint choices) is the silence, however.

The Jazz glides about town with no discernible sound of gear changes, no fuss from under the hood — in fact, it sometimes takes a look at the dash to register just how fast you’re going.

LOOKING FOR A NEW MECHANIC?

It’s also quiet enough that the engine shutdown feature (which stops the motor when you’re at the lights, for example) seems nicely unobtrusive.

But what was most impressive to note was the sheer level of space afforded by this little car.

In the Honda dealership stands a stack of nine hefty coloured boxes, perhaps the size of two large appliances. Every last one of them fits into the car without contorting the driver into a pretzel. Honda call it the magic

seat system, and it really does feel like sorcery.

Better yet, this is no dull people carrier, getting by on economy and roominess. The Jazz feels balanced and willing, more than making up for the lack of a thumping V8 both at the pump and in the corners.

In the wet, up a snaky hill, this new Honda chopped down and overtook with ease, feeling well sorted. Well worth a test drive, and sure to put a smile on your face! ¢
