‘‘We started with

and now we have 25

on the road.’’Steve PaulTimaru based G&J Campers co-owner

A spike in the number of visitorstouring South Canterbury incampervans has proven beneficialto some South Canterburybusiness owners.

Geraldine retailer DonStenhouse said he had seen asignificant increase in demandfrom those travelling incampervans and there was oneunusual item in particular manyhad sought from his HammerHardware store – water containercap seals.

‘‘They (tourists) fly toChristchurch pick up amotorhome and arrive inGeraldine for their first stop oncethey realise what they need.’’

When they filled up their watercontainers they invariably left thecaps behind or the seal fell out ofthe cap and was not noticed untilthey were driving and water wassloshing about, Stenhouse said.

Because the caps and sealswere not produced individuallyStenhouse used a bit of Kiwiingenuity and sold toilet cisternwashers to replace the seals.

He estimated there had beendouble the number of tourists thisyear than the previous summerseason, which he attributed to thelow New Zealand dollar.

Other popular items on theshopping lists of campers werechemicals for camp toilets,torches, heaters and thermalflasks, he said.

Stenhouse said there had beena downturn in tourist numberssince the Canterbury earthquakesuntil this summer season.

Geraldine Kiwi Holiday Parkand Motel was also reaping thebenefits of more guests.

Park team leader JackNewman said all their units werefull which was unusual at thistime of the year.

Social media had raised theprofile of places like New Zealand,he said.

‘‘You can see pictures (online)of swimming with dolphins andthe glaciers, all in one trip. Andthe exchange rate is good.’’

Timaru based G&J Campersco-owner Steve Paul hadincreased his fleet of rentalcampervans threefold in the pastthree years.

‘‘We started with sevenmotorhomes and now we have 25on the road.’’

He said the bookings thisseason had been huge withoverseas tourists renting the

vehicles for an average of threeweeks.

The longest rental he had thissummer season was for 132 days.

‘‘We already have bookings fornext season.’’

Some of the German customershe had spoken to had told himthey saw New Zealand as being asafe country to travel aroundcompared to Europe, he said.

YOUR PAPER, YOUR PLACE

A VERY

GOOD

IDEA

Sometimes it really is the smallthings that count in life.

This is a notion illustrated inthe story about Temuka Plunket’sweekly music and movementclasses being held at WallingfordRest Home on page 3.

Having spent a fair bit of timevisiting my own grandparents ina rest home, I was not at allsurprised to read how popular theweekly visits had become. Thevisits by the youngsters and theirparents will add a whole newdimension to what is likely to bean otherwise long, and possiblyuneventful, day for the residents.

The children, too, will benefitfrom interaction with some of theolder members of the communityand Temuka Plunket has a warm,safe place to run its class - it reallyis a win-win. Perhaps there areother community groups whichcould also mutually benefit fromsuch an arrangement. Don’t forgetto let us know if you are a memberof a group which does.

As usual, we would also like tohear from any of you withinteresting news to share. Don’thesitate to get in touch.

‘‘The popularity ofthe class is reallystarting to pick upand it is a muchanticipated part oftheir schedule. ’’Katerina Tiscenko

Residents of Temuka’sWallingford Rest Home are forgo-ing popular hair appointments sothey can attend a weekly classwith preschoolers.

It’s been just over two monthssince Temuka Plunket launchedits music and movement class atthe rest home on Thursdaymornings but it’s already estab-lished itself as a must-attend forsome residents.

Nurse manager RaewynMehrtens said there was a realsense of urgency among theresidents to get to the classes ontime.

‘‘Some of them are skippingtheir showers on Thursday to getto the classes.

‘‘There is some pressure on thecare-givers to get them ready ontime,’’ she said.

The classes had proven sopopular, residents were missingother usually popularappointments.

‘‘The hairdresser visits clashwith the class. We might changethe visit hours.’’

One of those who ensures shedoes not miss the new class is resi-

dent Hilda de Latour.‘‘I am in here every week ... the

kiddies are all very friendly andthey have a lot of fun.

‘‘I quite enjoy the kiddies. I gotno little ones of me own.’’

Temuka Plunket presidentSophie Sullivan said the interac-tion between the children andadults did both some good.

‘‘The numbers are really high,we are getting a good turn outeach week.

‘‘There are 20-25 babies andchildren coming each week.’’

The residents enjoyed it asmuch as the children, she said.

‘‘Now there’s a lot more ofthem sitting around and watchingthe children.’’

Presbyterian Support market-ing communications andfundraising manager Katerina

Tiscenko said encouraging inter-action between the young and oldwas a focus of the rest home.

‘‘The popularity of the class isreally starting to pick up and it isa much anticipated part of theirschedule.

‘‘It is about the young and theyoung at heart interacting witheach other.’’

The classes cost two dollars perchild or three dollars per familyand run each Thursday from9.15am to 10am.

Vibrant fashion for WaimateTESS BRUNTON

Waimate fashion designer Naomi White has set up her own business, Lida Fashion. PHOTO: MYTCHALL BRANSGROVE/FAIRFAX NZ

A Waimate fashion designer isdreaming big after launching hervibrant tailor-made clothingbusiness in her hometown.

Naomi White, who launchedLida Fashion on January 1, hopedto turn her home-based businessinto a fashion factory in the town-ship, which would bring jobs toWaimate.

‘‘I like the idea of helping outthe community and making surethe money stays in New Zealand,’’White said.

But she has already sparkedinterest for her designs frompeople in Shanghai and Hollandafter they were shared onFacebook.

‘‘I would love to have shops allaround the world,’’ she said.

‘‘New Zealand products are alot better quality.’’

First White wanted to branchbeyond cotton and silk and intoMerino wool by the end of theyear, which had been too expens-ive for her to use in the past.

White studied fashion anddesign at the Ara Institute ofCanterbury for two years beforefinishing a Bachelors’ Degree atthe Otago Polytechnic.

Fabric sourcing and marketinghad been her main challenges,although she used Facebookpredominantly to market herclothing range.

‘‘I would prefer locally sourcedfabrics, but there are not manyfabric shops in the area,’’ she said.

Business Waimate and District

Association deputy chair MattHampton said small businesses,especially clothing basedbusinesses, could find enteringthe retail market hard becausethere was so much competition.

‘‘Locating where you can sharespace can help,’’ he said.

‘‘Businesses need to network

and get connections both locallyand district wide.

‘‘But you’ve also got to makesure you have a good work to playratio.’’

Hampton recommended Whiteconsidered using other retailersaround the Waimate, Timaru andWaitaki Districts who may have

space in their shops for herdesigns.

Business Waimate holdsnetworking events to bring small,local businesses together.

‘‘If you look over the WaimateDistrict now, there will be at least500 businesses working fromhome,’’ Hampton said.

‘‘We wanted to have aconnection with somethingsignificant in our own local areaand Mt Cook was something thatSouth Cantabrians identifiedwith.

‘‘We are really proud of ourmural and the significance itholds for us here at Ranui.’’

The mural and deck projecthad a total cost of $19,000. The$14,000 deck was paid for with

JACK MONTGOMERIE

Roncalli College principal ChrisComeau had a pleasant surprisewhen he formally became a NewZealand citizen last week.

When he arrived at TimaruDistrict Council chambers onMarch 5, he had no idea pupilswould be there to honour himwith a haka and waiata.

Comeau was among 25 SouthCantabrians who became citizensat the ceremony, which districtmayor Damon Odey conducted.

He says he was ‘‘blown away’’by the pupils’ performance.

After meeting his New Zealandwife while he was still a UnitedStates farmer 20 years ago,Comeau says ‘‘one thing led toanother’’ and he had ended upcultivating students’ minds

instead of fields.He intends to return to the

United States when he takes hisnext sabbatical to study digitallearning initiatives there.

Timaru emergency medicalspecialist Vincent Lambournesays his journey to becoming aNew Zealander was also anunlikely one.

Lambourne, his wife Anneand children Ethan, Beth andEllie all became citizens at theceremony.

He says while on holidayfrom Southampton during a sixmonth break in his training, heand his wife ‘‘fell in love withthe South Island’’.

Central South Island Fishand Game chief executive JayGraybill also made his citizen-ship oath at the ceremony.

New locomotives steam into BushtownTESS BRUNTON

Pictured, above and right, is one ofthe miniature locomotives purchasedby the Bushtown committee for thehistoric village. The committee plansto restore the two locomotives toworking order. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

It is a hefty financial commitmentbut Waimate’s Bushtown historicvillage committee has alreadyraised more than half the fundsneeded to cover a $40,000 invest-ment.

The committee recently pur-chased two in two miniature rail-way locomotives which it plannedto return to pristine workingorder.

The carriages of the trains willbe refurbished and readied forrides, although there has not beena concrete completion date set.

There were 350 metres of rail-way track included in the cost,which committee secretary PhilWild hoped would be used to railthe first loop.

‘‘To raise $27,000 without anygrants is an immense effort,’’ Wildsaid.

‘‘We’ve obtained the sleepers tore-rail the locomotives.’’

The deadline for the final pay-ment was not until November andhe was impressed by the com-munity support for the project.

‘‘A train running around thepark fits in with the ambience,’’he said.

A small steam train ran alonga 50m rail for the Steam Day lastmonth and generated a lot ofinterest, Wild said.

Long term, Wild hoped thetrain would become a regular fix-ture at Bushtown.

"The train would run whenBushtown is open,’’ he said.

One of the next projects thecommittee would focus on was therelocation of a new woolshed,which had been donated a coupleof months ago.

The committee has been strug-gling to move the shed fromStudholme to Bushtown: ‘‘It’srelatively big,’’ he said.

Unfortunately the initial quoteto move the shed was about$11,000.

The shed would be perfect forthe station and storage, but it wasnot one of their funding priorities,Wild said.

They were considering apply-ing for grants and had been sell-ing raffles to raise the rest of the

required funds for thelocomotives.

The next event would be a har-vest festival on April 24 atBushtown.

The details will be confirmedcloser to the date.

Two talented Maori Geraldine HighSchool students have just returnedfrom a recent Te Rauawa O Te Pahiscience programme in Otago.

The six day residential marineresearch project for talented andgifted Maori students was held inMarch at the University of Otago’sNZ Marine Studies Centre inPortobello, Dunedin.

Year 10 students JhykanaFalwasser and Connor Leov, both 14,were selected to participate alongwith about 20 other southern SouthIsland high school students.

They spent time at the OtakouMarae where they were split intofive groups and competed in a quizwith the highest scoring teamchoosing which of five topics theywanted to study.

After learning to measure andweigh marine life they went ontospecific experiments.

Connor and his group collectedplankton from a boat then startedworking on their topic of testing howcrabs coped with different solidity(salt levels) in water.

‘‘We studied how fast they turnedfrom back to front because if they

can’t turn quickly they can’t getaway from predators.’’

He said the sea usually hadbetween 34 and 36 grams of salt perlitre of water. For the experiment,the group put 10 crabs in a 55g/litresalt container and left themovernight. ‘‘We got a fright the nextmorning, four had died,’’ he said.

The survivors appeared to be sickand were moving slowly, indicatingthe importance of a salt-walterbalance, he said.

The group Jhykana was part ofused a Lux Meter to check lightlevels then went onto their topic offinding out if water quality affectedthe size of cockles.

‘‘Cockles in healthy water grewdouble the size of the ones inunhealthy water, they were reallytiny.’’

Both students said they reallyenjoyed the project and would like tohave careers which involvedscience, although they were yet todecide in which areas.

It was the fourth year theprogramme, which is aimed atmentoring students to developscience investigation and

communication skills in a Maoricontext, had been run.

Driving with poor vision, it’s no jokeDANIEL NAUDERoad Safety Coordinator

A recent police roadside eye test blitz in Britain netted dozens of drivers who

failed the test.

DRIVINGWITH DANIELThis reminds me of the joke about

the two pilots who were blind(unknowing to the passengers).On takeoff they would wait for thepassengers to scream then theywould pull up to get airborne.

So one day the one pilot said tothe other pilot: ‘‘I wish they wouldstart screaming sooner becauseone day we will pull up too late’’.

Would you get on a plane whenyou know the pilot is as blind as abat or would you agree to undergoan operation when you know thesurgeon has only fifty percentvision?

My guess is that you probablyanswered no to both questions.Now why is it okay to drive avehicle when you have limitedeyesight?

The police in Britain haverecently done a roadside eye testblitz under new legislation.

Not surprisingly, dozens of

drivers failed the test. Somedrivers could not even see furtherthan a few metres ahead but weredriving on a motorway! Youcannot react to something youcannot see.

People may argue that as longas you drive slowly in town, youshould be ok.

This is definitely a flawedattitude because even if you goslow, other traffic go faster andthere are many things happeningon our roads every moment.

Poor observation was a factorin nearly half of all reported localcrashes.

Drivers may have had pooreyesight and/or did not lookproperly before they acted.

Why would you want to drivewith only the park lights - or nolights - on when everyone else

drives with the headlights turnedon to indicate they experiencelower visibility?

This makes driving extremelydangerous because these vehiclesblend into the background sodrivers do not see them.

Get your eyes checked if youare in doubt about your vision.

Turn on your headlights whenlow visibility conditions set in.

This also goes for sun strike –the headlights of your vehiclemay just help the affected driverto see you sooner. Make sure yourcar windows are always clean andclear.

Safer Journeys!

Established in 1990, Field & Stream

Sports is the longest established retail

operator of specialist hunting and fi shing

goods in the Central South Island but

at 73, owner and operator Stuart Falconer

is looking forward to retirement and

being able to do more of what he’s been

helping others do - fishing and hunting.

Stuart is keen to pass on his skills

and expertise to a new owner and has

offered to stay as a consultant for six

months or so of a new ownership so

practical expertise, local knowledge and

specialised skills such as rod making,

fly tying and teaching people to fl y cast

can be passed on.

“I never wanted a sports good

supermarket,” says Stuart. “I wanted

a shop that was a little untidy, a little

messy with gear people could touch and

discuss with me. It’s been a meeting

place for people of similar interests and

I will certainly miss the daily contact with

customers.”

Watch out for the upcoming retirement

sale at Field & Stream Sports.

Backyard banter

Positivity, optimism and a coat of paint

Ever thought about what you might do after you retire? Not everyone is

interested in a quiet life. Neighbourly is a NZ-owned social media site creating easy ways for neighbours to talk and connect. Join us at neighbourly.co.nz or download our new iPhone and Android apps.

The bloke at the paint shop isretiring and it is with heavyheart that I bid him

farewell.It’s been a good 12 years since

he first sold me a tub of of hisfinest and there have been manylitres of it since. Paint for the roof,house and fence – acrylic, enamel. . . you name it, I’ve bought it.

Not to mention the turps,pigmented sealers, brushes,rollers, sand paper and maskingtape – miles and miles of it.

He’s been there throughout –unbelievably enthusiastic and all-knowing; on hand to advise, guideand encourage on the sometimespainful road to home renovation.

I can’t believe he’s going.‘‘You were born for this role,’’ I

say. ‘‘What will you do next?’’He smiles and hits me with a

carefully constructed plan that isindeed inspiring.

Tom, unlike many oldercodgers I’ve met on the cusp ofretirement, has no desire to puthis feet up.

He’s made a bit of cash over thelast 40 years and wants to putsome of it to good use helping

others less fortunate than himself.The 65-year-old reckons he’s

got plenty of time to do his bit forhumanity and plans to be aroundfor at least another 20 years.

‘‘We live in age of modern,medicine,’’ he says.

‘‘All the statistics tell me I’lllive longer than my father and hisdad before him.’’

His optimism is infectious andI can’t help but feel equallyenthused as he outlines hishumanitarian hopes andaspirations.

It’s a far cry from another guy Iknow.

He ran out of things to do afterhis first six months off the payrolland quickly turned into a surlyand cantankerous version of hisformer self – scowling at the worldas soon as he opened his eyes inthe morning and filling his daysfinding fault in others.

How I hope I don’t fall into thattrap when my time comes.

And it will.Nobody has an infinite career

path ahead of them and all of uswill have a big adjustment tomake once we reach the finalstage of it – unless fate, and apremature exit from life, comesfirst.

The big question will be ‘‘whatnext?’’

And procrastination will be theundoing of anyone who fails toseek an answer.

Which bring me back to my oldmate the paint merchant and our

conversation one humid Saturdayafternoon.

He’s got me thinking and Iwish him well as I exit his shopfor what could be the last timeunder his watch.

‘‘Good luck,’’ I say. ‘‘Have fun.’’He will, I’m sure, though he’s

first to admit there’s one littlething to get out of the way first.

Yes, he’s got to paint his house.He’s spent the last 40 years tellingpeople how to get their ownhomes into top shape whileneglecting his own.

But, not surprisingly, he’slooking forward to ripping intothat task too.

BRANSGROVE/

FAIRFAX NZ

Formore than 50 years, theWaimate Art Society hasshowcased local artwork in anannual exhibition, whichwill beheld this year fromApril 15.

The society was formed in 1956and a couple of years later theexhibitionwas established.

Themixedmedia showcasehighlights approximately 200pieces of work in fourmaincategories: oil and acrylics,watercolour andworks on paper,applied art and craft, andphotography.

President Robert Irelandwas

impressedwith the high standardof work being entered in theexhibition.

‘‘The artists are really talented,we’re very happy,’’ he said.

Guest exhibitors include Timaruartist Kerry Irvine and potters SteveFulmer, of Tasman, and Pat Curry, ofTimaru.

Visitors are encouraged to votefor their favourite artwork for theviewers’ choice award, whichwouldbe awarded on the final day of theexhibition.

Originally, artists were allowedto enter eight pieces of artwork,

there had beenmore than 300 to400 artworks at previousexhibitions, Ireland said.

But during the past couple ofyears, artists had been restricted tofour pieces.

It meant thewalls were lesscrowded and thework was betterrounded, he said.

The grand openingwould startat 7.30pm on April 15 in the ArtSociety rooms on the corner ofShearman and High St. Entry is $5.

The exhibition will also opendaily until April 24 between 10am to6pmwith a $2 entry fee.

Some of Temuka’s St Joseph’sSchool pupils proudly showed offtheir almost finished playground onMonday, complete with homespurpose built for bugs, an outdoorperformance area and a fort. Theplayground was the result of theTreemendous School Makeoverprogramme, a joint initiativebetween the Mazda Foundation andProject Crimson, which saw fourschools receive a $10,000makeover.Temuka won in 2015 and senior

pupils helped design parts of thegarden, principal Bernie Leonardsaid.Leonard credited Midland

Contracting director Allan Jonesfor configuring the garden tofeature plants which only grew inRangitata and Opihi rivers. In turn,the plants will host insects whichlive locally, she said.A working bee held on Saturday

had a ‘‘huge’’ turn out. ‘‘It wasfantastic.’’

There were a couple of healthand safety things to be done, andthe playground would be completedby the start of next term, Leonardsaid.Pupil Daniel Schenk, 8, helped at

the working bee. ‘‘We carried[stones] over here withwheelbarrows or by hand ... weplaced them in order, and then wedid it all over again lots of time,’’Daniel said.Hazelle Tate, 8, and her dad built

a home which might be visited byspiders, ladybirds and bees.Classes would look at ways pupils

could care for the area, Leonardsaid.It was the 51st makeover Mazda

representative Andrew Clearwaterattended. He felt it was the bestbecause of the pride the studentshad in it, Leonard said.

Guild provides friends, knowledgeKoren Allpress

An embroidery group that meets once aweek in Temuka provides its members withmore than a way to fill time and somebeautiful craft work.Temuka Embroiderers’ Guild secretary

Fiona Crowther-Aker said the group wasabout sharing knowledge and technique.Some members might not have family or

children nearby, so this was what they had,

she said. ‘‘[It’s] not just our stitching, it’ssharing our lives with each other.’’There were woman who had been

members and friends for 20 years.Nola Jelley said she returned to the

group about a year ago, after she retired,and had recently completed a runner forher daughter. ‘‘It was a labour of love.’’Joan Gentle joined the guild in 1996. ‘‘It’s

just fellowship, and the company andeverything else, learning things all thetime,’’ she said.

Jill deJoux

The Junior Section of the SouthCanterbury Drama Leaguecelebrates its 55th production withthe upcoming Disney’s The LittleMermaid Jr and there is certainlyan argument for the case that theschool holiday show will be themost colourful ever staged at theTheatre Royal.I was lucky enough to view a

recent rehearsal of The LittleMermaid and I can tell you if youhaven’t got your tickets yet, don’tdelay! This show is playful,energetic and entertaining withvery talented singers, delightfulchoreography and the gorgeous,orchestral music of the Broadwayshow.Directed and choreographed by

Bronwyn Chittock with musical

direction by Sarah Leslie, the showis vibrant, fun and clever andtogether with the costumes, props,set and lighting a visual spectacularwill be created for audiencesespecially the scenes under the seain the realm of the mermaids.There are slippery eels, a sea

horse, jellyfish, stingrays, coral,starfish, a purple octopus, schoolsof colourful fish and, of course, thebeautiful mermaids played by JuliaHogg (16, Craighead Diocesan),Emma Brown (15, Roncalli College),Bethanie Cootes (15, Timaru GirlsHigh School), Rebecca Frame (12,Bluestone Primary School), ErinWard (17, Roncalli College), JennaStill (15, Roncalli College) and NeveO’Connor (14, Timaru Girls HighSchool).In this beguiling Broadway

musical, adapted here for childrenbut with all the same beautiful

music and colourful characters,rebellious mersister Ariel (JuliaHogg, 16, Craighead Diocesan) isfascinated with life on land.The gorgeously feathered, nosey

and know-it-all gulls, led by Scuttleplayed by Georgia Carnegie fromRoncalli College (15), advise Arielabout human ways "but always in amuddled way," says gull, ZoeBorman (15, Timaru Girls HighSchool).On one of her visits to the

surface, which are forbidden by hercontrolling father, King Triton,played by Alex McCoid (17 fromRoncalli College), Ariel falls for ahuman prince, (Xavier Judd, 16).Determined to be with her newlove, Ariel makes a dangerous dealwith the sea witch Ursula (AbiAustin, 16) to become human forthree days.But when plans go awry for the

star-crossed lovers, the king mustmake the ultimate sacrifice for hisdaughter.16 year old Xavier Judd, a year 12

student at Timaru Boys HighSchool, plays Prince Eric and saysboys and girls of all ages will enjoy’Little Mermaid"."This show has some very funny

scenes especially the antics thatChef Louis gets up to." (played byEleazar Coronado, 17, MountainviewHigh School)Abi Austin, in Year 12 at Timaru

Girls High School, plays thedeliciously devilish Ursula the seawitch, who is hell-bent onoverthrowing King Triton, her olderbrother and Ariel’s widowed father,who as Poseidon’s son, rules thesea."I play the jealous, naughty sea

witch who’s determined to getrevenge on Triton for banishing herto the bottom of the sea!I’m really enjoying playing ’the

baddie’ and acting out with all thehumour in the role. Ursula is reallyover the top and very funny in hernaughtiness so she’s great fun toplay."Rounding out the lead cast are

Hanna Harvey (17, MountainviewHigh School) as Sebastian,Charlotte Howe (12, CraigheadDiocesan) as Flounder, Macy (13)and Lily Shields (13, both at TimaruGirls High School) as Flotsam andJetsam, and Luke Robb (15, RoncalliCollege) as Prince Eric’s loyalmanservant and confidante,Grimsby.

How much water

should I drink?

A 70kg person requires about 2.3 litres of water every day. PHOTO: 123RF

Ask Dr Libby

Email your questions for Dr Libby [email protected] note, only a selection ofquestions can be answered.

Your healthWITH AUTHOR AND NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMIST DR LIBBY

How much water should I bedrinking every day, I’m worriedI’m not getting enough. Thanks,Susan.

Hi Susan. Without water, ahuman will usually only live for amere three days. So essential isthis liquid to our survival that weneed it more than food.

Science currently tells us weneed 33 millilitres of water foreach kilogram of our body weight.A 70kg person, therefore, requires2310ml (2.31 litres) a day. We do,however, tend to forget that manyplant foods have a high watercontent and this contributes toour overall water consumptionover the day. Herbal teas andsoups also add up. Foods anddrinks containing caffeine andalcohol, however, draw water outof our body and the more of thesewe consume, the greater our fluidrequirements.

People with low blood pressureoften feel better with a little lessthan the required amount of

water as too much water maydilute their blood levels ofminerals, potentially disruptingblood pressure further. Anotheroption is for these people to add atiny pinch of good quality salt totwo of their six to eight glasses ofwater each day.

It is also possible to drink toomuch water and one of the firstsymptoms that typically presentsin this situation is dizziness (note:dizziness is a symptom of manyconditions and not always relatedto consuming too much fluid).Again, this will occur when theconcentration of minerals in yourblood becomes too diluted. So itseems, as with most things,moderation is the key.

Your body uses minerals to(among other things) createelectrolytes. Often described asthe sparks of life, electrolytescarry electrical currents throughthe body, sending instructions tocells in all body systems.

Electrolytes are also necessary

for enzyme production, which areresponsible for digesting food,absorbing nutrients, musclefunction and hormoneproduction. Dehydration,therefore, affects all body systemsand functions.I’m concerned about how much

food our family wastes. Iconstantly find myself throwingout vegetables that we’veforgotten about, or leftovers.Any tips for reducing this?Thanks, Tom.

Hi Tom. That’s a greatquestion and one I hope more

people are considering, as foodwaste is major problem.

There are a number of waysyou can reduce your food wastebut one of the better strategies isplanning your weekly meals. Ifyou shop to your plan theneverything in the fridge has apurpose, meaning heads ofbroccoli and bunches of spinachwon’t be forgotten and left to rotin the back of the fridge.

Often we buy more than weneed because we’re not quite surewhat we’re going to cook. Byplanning your meals you will alsoreduce some of the perceivedstress that can be involved indeciding what to have for dinner.It’s also a great idea to use up anyleftover vegetables in a stew, soupor casserole. Anything can go intodishes like this and be flavouredup with fresh or dried herbs.

Supposed To Eat?’’ is coming to

Bernie’s red and white mustangLEE JAMIESON

CHECK OUTMY WHEELS

Bernie Butcher, of

Oamaru, and her 1966

Ford Mustang.

Take the wheel of a Ford Mustang and

enjoy the ride.

CONTINUED Page 24

Bernie Butcher had a fair idea herpartner was taking her toChristchurch to pick up a car butwhen his daughter drove up to thebus stop to meet them in a redMustang, she was lost for words.

Butcher, of Oamaru, hadalways wanted a red and whiteMustang, and there before hereyes her dream had come true.

Her partner, Dave Barltrop,had arranged for the 1966 FordMustang to be delivered toChristchurch from its previousAuckland owners, with the two ofthem sharing the cost of thevehicle.

Butcher took the wheel of thecar, with its 289 cubic inch motorand three speed transmission, andcruised all the way home listeningto its digital radio – which hadbeen custom designed to look likethe original.

‘‘I was chuffed, it was a bitoverwhelming, surprised andexcited and I drove it home.

‘‘I felt like a queen,’’ Butchersaid.

The car is kept in supreme

condition and remains in thegarage for weekend outings andcar shows.

It’s been taken to the annualKaikoura Hop for the past twoyears and various other car showsincluding Cromwell’s Classic CarShow. It won the peoples’ choice

award for best interior at theOamerican and Allcomers CarShow in Oamaru two years ago.

‘‘Oh it’s a lovely car, nicecolour, great interior – all the stuffpeople say about it.

‘‘Our friends have classic carsas well so we sometimes go for a

wee drive together,’’ Butcher said.The car came into the country

from America in 2000 and wasrestored to the original inAuckland. The two bought itabout four-and-a-half-years ago.

Being a left-hand drive, the cartook a bit of getting used to.

‘‘The only difficulty is passingcars.’’

It was difficult to pull out andlook for oncoming cars, she said.

As the two always drove in ittogether, Barltrop was able to give

$4.2m Aston Martin supercar unveiledHighlands Motorsport Complexowner Tony Quinn has unveiledhis new limited edition AstonMartin track toy.

The limited edition track-onlyAston Martin Vulcan waswheeled – resplendent inHighlands colours – out for itspublic debut at the Cromwell com-plex on Saturday.

Only 24 Vulcans have beenbuilt with the 7-litre V12 all-carbon fibre supercar only

making its global track debut atthe Goodwood Festival of Speed inthe UK in June 2015.

The Vulcan will take pride ofplace in Quinn’s multi million-dollar garage that also includes aMcLaren 650s, a Nissan GT-R,Lamborghini Huracan, Porsche911 and an Aston Martin VantageGT3. ‘‘This is the only versionthat is in the Southern Hemi-sphere,’’ said Josie Spillane,Highlands chief operating officer.

Spillane said with NewZealand having such a richhistory in motorsport on theworld stage, it was only fittingthat something as rare as theVulcan had a home here.

As part of the car’s launch,Quinn, who sold his VIP Petfoodbusiness in Australia last year formore than $440 million, offered an‘Aston Martin Vulcan Experi-ence’ to those who fronted with$5000.

The experience served up VIPtreatment and a number of hotlaps in the Vulcan.

Throughout Saturday theseVIPs, including TV personalityPaul Henry and Timaru realestate agent Michelle Greer weretaken for rides.

The Vulcan’s unveiling wasthe centrepiece of Highlands’third birthday celebrations.

It is the latest in a newworldwide-trend from supercar

makers for track-only beasts andfollows behind such creations asthe McLaren P1 GTR and theLaFerrari-derived FXX K.

It has a top speed of more than320 kilometres per hour and a0-100kmh time of three seconds.

Fast cars need good stoppersand it has carbon ceramic discbrakes, a six-speed sequentialgearbox, variable traction con-trol and a fully-adjustable sus-pension.

Orders hit 325,000 for new Tesla sedan

Tesla Motors’ mass-

market Model 3

electric cars are seen

in this handout

picture from Tesla

Motors.

Electric car maker Tesla has receivedmore than 325,000 orders for its newModel 3 sedan in the first week ofbookings.

The reservations, which can be madeby paying a refundable deposit ofUS$1000 (NZ$1476), correspond to aboutUS$14 billion in implied future sales, thecompany said.

There is, however, no certainty Teslawould be able to convert all its ordersinto sales as many of those could be can-celled.

The orders for Model 3, Tesla’s firstmass-market car which will sell at anaverage price of US$42,000 (NZ$61,980),are ‘‘very positive’’ and reflect tremen-dous enthusiasm for the car, analystssaid.

However, Tesla shares were down 2.5per cent at US$258.67 in afternoontrading on Thursday in the US.

Robert W Baird & Co analyst BenKallo said the stock reaction was likely aresult of profit-taking rather than disap-pointment with the numbers.

As of Wednesday’s close, Tesla’s stockhad risen about 16 per cent since the com-pany started taking orders for Model 3,

which is expected to be launched in late2017.

With the production of the new model,Tesla is likely to boost its annual pro-duction tenfold to 500,000 by 2020, thecompany has said.

Analysts have raised questions abouthow long it would take Tesla to deliverModel 3 cars, after the slower-than-expected launch of its Model X sport util-

ity vehicle late last year.Tesla said last Tuesday it delivered

14,820 vehicles in the quarter endedMarch 31, including 12,420 Model Ssedans and 2400 Model X utility vehicles.

The company had previously forecast16,000 deliveries in the quarter.

Tesla said ‘‘severe shortages’’ of partsfor Model X in January and Februaryhad cut into planned production.

Out-of-town fanssnap up ticketsSAHIBAN KANWAL ‘‘Many of them will not

have been to Christchurchsince the earthquakes andthey will see this match asa perfect opportunity tosupport the Warriors orthe Panthers and see howthe city is progressing.’’ ’’Justin Wallace

More than 1000 league fans in Mid and SouthCanterbury have snapped up tickets to a NZWarriors match planned for Christchurch.

The Penrith Panthers will use AMIStadium for their in their Round 10 homegame against the Warriors on May 14.

Match organisers expected the NRLmatch to sell out, with more than 12,000 ofthe 17,800 tickets already sold, five weeksbefore the game.

Around the South Island more than 200tickets have been sold in Greymouth, nearly1200 in North Canterbury, and more than athousand in Mid and South Canterbury.

Promoter Justin Wallace said the influxof fans from across the countrydemonstrated the attraction of ‘‘top qualitysporting events’’.

‘‘Many of them will not have been toChristchurch since the earthquakes andthey will see this match as a perfect oppor-tunity to support the Warriors or thePanthers and see how the city isprogressing,’’ Wallace said.

Several busloads of people were expectedfrom Blenheim, Nelson, Dunedin and thedeep South.

A breakdown of postal codes by Ticketekrevealed more than a third of the ticketswere sold from outside of Canterbury, withlarge contingents heading down from allcorners of the North Island for the Carnivalof Rugby League in Christchurch.

Wallace said the rush on tickets

demonstrated the massive rugby league fanbase around the South Island.

‘‘It has been a few years since the lastNRL match in Christchurch in 2010 and theyclearly don’t want to miss out seeing the bestrugby league competition in their own back-yard.’’

The influx of visitors promised to berewarding for the Christchurch City Coun-cil and the Christchurch International Air-port which showed their support for thisventure, he said.

‘‘They understand that this match is onlythe start, as the Panthers will be playinghere for the next four years.

‘‘If the current spread continues, we canexpect around 6000 visitors to Christchurch,who will pump over $3 million in the localeconomy, based on conservative spendingpredictions, which is great for the city.’’

Tickets could be bought on ticketek.co.nzbut Category A and B were nearly sold out.
