New Rolleston focus
in sex worker murder
• By Andrew King and
Caitlin Miles
SELWYN RESIDENTS could
hold the key to helping police
determine whether a car central
to the Renee Duckmanton
homicide case was in Rolleston.
Police are asking for anyone
with information about a silver
1997 Audi in the Rolleston
area on May 15 to contact
them.
Detective Inspector Darryl
Sweeney released details about
the car to the Selwyn Times on
Friday but declined to comment
further.
Police believe the vehicle may
have been in and around the
Izone business park around
Jones Rd and Hoskyns Rd area.
A male, on foot, may have
been observed by a member
of the public from 6-8am in
that area heading towards the
BP Connect Rolleston on State
Highway 1.
A silver Audi was removed
from a Blankney St address in
Hornby on Thursday by police
as part of their inquiries into the
homicide.
A 31-year-old a butcher from
Ilam appeared in court charged
with murdering the sex worker
on Friday.
Judge Gary MacAskill granted
the man name suppression
and remanded him in custody
without plea to the High Court
on June 10.
Police would also like to speak
to the occupants of a lightcoloured
motor vehicle sighted
on Main Rakaia Rd, Rakaia,
about 7.40pm on May 15.
The vehicle may also have
been in Leeston about 7.50pm.

red light district, near the intersection
of Manchester St and
Peterborough St, about 9pm on
May 14.
Detective Inspector Sweeney
said CIB and forensic specialists
had seized a number of motor
vehicles across Christchurch and
had begun detailed examinations
of those, as well as four
residential addresses.
Anyone who may
have information or a
positive sighting are
being asked to phone

More
rooms
for
schools
LINCOLN HIGH School and
Lincoln Primary School are about
to gain some much needed new
classrooms.
Yesterday, Associate Education
Minister Nikki Kaye announced
funding for nine new classrooms
for the primary school and six for
the high school.
The new classrooms are expected
to be completed by early 2017.
Lincoln High deputy principal
Stephen Rout said the growing
roll meant the classrooms were
well timed.
“Our school has grown really
quickly, we’re at about 1700
students now, so we really had no
spare space,” he said.
Lincoln Primary School principal
Viv Butcher said the school
was delighted at the announcement.
“It is reassuring to our parent
community too that we will have
brand new teaching spaces for the
kids,” Mrs Butcher said.
The school already has five
modular buildings under construction
to house the growing
number of pupils.
THe school is teaching some
of its pupils in its library, hall
and on the former Environment
Canterbury premises on Edward
St as a temporary measure while
the classrooms are completed.

SCHOOL’S NEW LOGO POINTS IN RIGHT DIRECTION
NEWS12
ROLLESTON HIGH School unveiled the
school logo at an information evening
recently.
The name of the new logo Horeaka
Haemata, was gifted to the college by Te
Taumutu Rūnanga, Ngāi Tahu.
It means flourishing lancewood.
The logo has been designed to capture
the idea of the abstract lancewood shape.
The arrowheads form an idea of direction
and movement through school and
school life.
The logo references the three main ideas
of the school vision, self, community and
future.
The school also received their first
enrolment last week, Rolleston High
School principal Steve Saville said the
team may have been “a little over excited”
by the enrolment.

Lyttelton comes to Rolleston
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
A NEW multi-million dollar
freight hub is opening in
Rolleston this week, extending
the Lyttelton Port Company’s
services using rail.
LPC’s new inland port, called
MidlandPort, will have on train
per day bring moving containers
between the Lyttelton port and
the new hub in Rolleston - connecting
freight throughout the
South Island.
Located on
Jones Rd, running
parallel
to Main South
Rd and linked
directly with rail
tracks, the port
is an innovative
way to keep up with Canterbury’s
growth, inland port manager
Sean Bradley (above) said.
“We see a large amount
of growth happening in
Canterbury at the moment,
particularly volume through
the port and the surrounding
Canterbury region, so we have
a port located in Rolleston to
assist with handling that volume
and reducing traffic congestion
through Brougham St.”
The inland port will handle a
train load of freight every day,
carrying 20 containers on a
40-minute trip, taking between
40-80 trucks off the road.
There has been extensive work
to minimise noise and light disruption
to nearby residents.
Stages one and two of the
development - on a 27ha site -
are due to open by the end of the
week, Mr Bradley said.
“It’s a one-stop shop. We offer
full container storage for both
dry containers as well as refrigerated
containers and we also
service empty containers here so
we have container wash facilities
for MPI washers and also internal
washers we have container
surveying and container repair
equipment as well.”
A warehousing facility called
I PORT will be built adjacent
to the site, so importers and
exporters can deal directly with
the port.
Further stages surrounding
the area are earmarked for
future development, with stage
three likely in the near future,
and four and five part of a longterm
plan.
The port will be a “very
positive” part of Canterbury’s
rebuild, Mr Bradley said.
“I think the economy is continuing
to grow in Christchurch
- having these types of facilities
that have had a significant
amount of investment, we’re really
keen to continue to be a part
of that growth.”
OPENING: The
new MidlandPort
in Rolleston, due
to open by the
end of the week. ​
PLANS: A concept image

Rolleston could look like

Blood testing
lost after
high demand
• By Caitlin Miles
LINCOLN MEDICAL Centre
could not cope with the patient
demand put on them by hosting
additional blood services.
Last month the medical centre
discontinued the arrangement
with Southern Communities Laboratories
which provide blood test
services to the Selwyn area.
Centre directors doctors David
Finlay and Denis Dumaine said
“increasing patient demand for the
blood testing service has caused
congestion and long waiting times.
This has resulted in a growing
number of patient complaints.”
The medical centre is currently
undergoing earthquake repairs and
refurbishments, but they said “it
will not be sufficient to cope with
the requirements of the Southern
Community Laboratory collection
service”.
SCL chief executive Peter
Gootjes said the medical centre
only gave them two weeks notice to
leave the building.
Dr Finlay and Dr Dumaine said
it was mutually agreed that the
blood testing service could not
continue from the medical centre
and notice was given prior to
building work starting.

Selwyn’s young people
seizing opportunities
LAST WEEK I was thrilled to
learn that the Selwyn Youth
Council had received an award
in the Youth Group category of
the 2016 Youth Awards, which
were presented at Parliament on
May 24.
I understand that since the
formation of the Youth Council
in 2013, the council has collectively
contributed over 2000
hours of voluntary service to
projects which benefit Selwyn.
It is great to see the council
involved in running events
such as skate jams, roller discos,
drive-in movies and youth markets
designed for young people
in our district. I am especially
impressed by the youth council’s
“pop up café” initiative,
which has given local young
people valuable new skills.
Another good news story for
local young people is the Government’s
announcement in last
week’s Budget of an additional
investment in apprenticeship
training. The Government is
allocating $14.4 million over
four years to enable the training
of another 5500 apprentices
Amy Adams
Selwyn MP
nationwide by 2020.
This means extra opportunities
for young people looking to
get into a trade and more skilled
workers to help local employers
grow their businesses.
This new funding will help
meet projected skill shortages
in high-demand industries like
construction and infrastructure.
We have seen the importance
of this locally with the building
boom in Selwyn and the
demands for skilled workers for
the Christchurch rebuild.
Increased apprenticeship
numbers will help fill skill gaps
and provide the new people
coming through to maintain future
growth in these industries.
Last year, new apprenticeships
in trades such as carpentry,
plumbing, and electrical engineering
reached the highest levels
recorded in nearly a decade.
There were more than 42,000
people enrolled in apprenticeships
and apprenticeship training
nationwide in 2015.
The Government recognises
that tertiary education is a passport
to higher skills, higher
wages, higher productivity, and
higher growth for our economy.
This is why we are committed
to improving tertiary education,
lifting achievement, and
focusing on better outcomes for
students and taxpayers.
The Government’s aim is
to help people not only into
employment but into rewarding
lifelong careers. I am sure that
many young people in Selwyn
will take this on board and seize
the opportunities available to
them just as the award-winning
Selwyn Youth Council has done.
Reader responds to article
on freedom campers in
Coes Ford.
Sandi Newbigging - Sheffield:
I enjoyed your article on
freedom campers. It’s such a big
issue at the moment and I agree
that it’s important that they have
access to water and facilties for
health reasons. Support from
central government would be a
good thing. Freedom camping
is such a draw for a beautiful
country like New Zealand but
it can cause bad feeling when
abused by a few. It’s nice to see it
highlighted in a local paper.

Tree roots new threat to
quake-cracked pipes
• By Tom Doudney
HOMEOWNERS MAY be in
for more earthquake-related
pain with tree roots the culprit
this time.
The roots have found their way
into small cracks in earthquakedamaged
drainage pipes, blocking
them as they grow.
An EQC spokesman said the
problem had been expected to
crop up between five and seven
years following the earthquakes,
based on expert advice.
Homeowners have a “grace
period” until
December
31 when any
failure of lateral
pipes consistent
with earthquake
damage would
be treated as
such by EQC
with no further inspection.
However, claims made after
this time would face a higher
burden of proof that the damage
was earthquake-related.
G N Brewer Drainlayers Ltd
co-owner Deane Brewer (above)
said now that tree roots had had
time to grow into the drains, the
problem was becoming more
evident.
“It only takes a tiny little fibre
getting in, it doesn’t take a huge
amount. Once that is in it just feeds
on the nutrients and goes berserk
and you can’t really stop it without
repairing the pipe,” he said.
The company had two or three
drainage crews working on
repairing the problem each day
and was about six weeks behind
on camera inspections due to
the volume of requests coming
in – about 15 to 20 a day.
“Often the drains are under a
driveway and we are getting a lot
now where the driveways have
been replaced but then the roots
are getting in [to the drains] and we
are having to take up the driveway
that has already been replaced.”
The problem is also hitting the
city council’s wastewater pipes. Infiltration
by tree roots had always
been a problem for the network
but head of three waters and waste
John Mackie said it had been
made worse by the earthquakes
creating more cracks.
The city council was now
putting more emphasis on root
control and monitoring, which it
had to fund itself.
“The cost of root control this
year is around $125,000 and
this is likely to increase in the
near future as other methods
of control are considered such
as chemical treatment or root
foaming,” Mr Mackie said.

Bus crash
engineer
named
THE ENGINEER charged in
relation to a serious bus crash
near Arthur’s Pass on New Year’s
Eve is James Henry Coakley.
The bus belonged to Lincoln
company Travlon and police have
alleged its brakes failed.
It was carrying a tour party
of 31 Chinese tourists when the
driver lost control and collided
with a car travelling up the Otira
Gorge before overturning and
sliding into roadside barriers
separating it from a ravine below.
Coakley, 68, of Ohoka, was
associated with maintenance of
the bus and has been charged
with Injuring by Unlawful Act.
He has been granted bail and
will appear in the Christchurch
District Court on June 20.
Thirteen of the bus passengers
suffered serious injuries requiring
hospitalisation and surgery,
including fractures and internal
injuries.
The car passengers involved, a
visiting Swiss family of three, also
sustained moderate to serious
injuries.
Tasman Police District crime
manager Detective Inspector Paul
Borrell said it was “miraculous”
and police were thankful no lives
were lost as result of the incident.

we were heading out I had a
good group of people around
me.
What’s the hardest part of
being a firefighter in a small
community?
In a community like Southbridge
everyone knows everyone,
if you go to a decent crash or a
house fire where there is property
loss there’s a good chance
someone in the crew is going to
know the person involved. You
go through that heartbreak of
knowing what they have lost or
potentially working on someone
in a car crash that you’ll know.
It’s not so much what happens
at the job it’s what happens
after.
Having the best to
ensure great service
When you need to rely on your outboard motor to get you home after
a great day’s fishing or boating, it is essential to have had it serviced by
the best people available in the business.
The team at Butler Marine has been servicing outboard motors in
their current business since 1987, and, even before that, boating and
motors were in their blood.
Owner John Butler says, “We have a hands-on approach to most
problems our customer can have. If we cannot fix it we will arrange
to have it fixed.”
Butler Marine will service Suzuki, Yamaha, Mercury, Parsun, Mariner,
Johnson, Evinrude, Honda and Tohatsu outboard motors.
“We carry a wide range of parts, and what we don’t have we can
generally get overnight. We also have access to a range of second
hand parts to help keep costs down,” John says. “We are agents for
Suzuki outboard motors, the world’s best four stroke motor, and
Parsun two and four stroke outboard motors.”
He adds that now is the ideal time to get your boat serviced with
Butler Marine currently offering a winter service special.
John lives in Prebbleton and provides a drop-off, pick-up service from
the village, saving Selwyn District residents the long drive across
town. Contact Butler Marine for details.
“Our friendly, accommodating staff are more than happy to assist you
with all your everyday boating needs, and you’re welcome to come in
and see Dave, Brett, Sandy or myself.”
Whether you are servicing or replacing your existing boat, thinking of
buying your first one, or looking to customise the boat you have, talk
to the people at Butler Marine.

the Southbridge brigade
Like if there is a fatality it
could be two weeks later when it
actually hits you. Or something
brings it back up or you start
thinking about what else you
could have done.
What was that possibility like
when you first signed up?
I guess when I started I was 16
and I thought I was bullet proof
being a volunteer firefighter,
and that was probably the worst
thing to be thinking. But there
are a lot of people out there who
might not be able to handle it,
it takes a strong amount of will
power.
How do you deal with fatalities
and bad incidents?
The New Zealand Fire Service
offer us peer support and they
can come out and talk to the
crew straight after something has
happened or talk to us personally
and ask for some help or support.
What makes you keep doing
it?
You’re in a good group of guys
and girls and getting to help out
the community is the best thing
we get out of it. It’s really cool
getting to do school visits. We
did a mini Sky Tower Challenge
with them [Southbridge School].
We set a ladder up on the ground
and the kids had to run through
it. They enjoyed it and we enjoyed
it.
Is doing things like that the
nicer side of the job?
Yeah, we go to school a couple
times a year and have a chat they
come to the fire station and we
show them around and it’s good
to have them involved as well
because they’re potentially the
future fire fighters of the community.
You’re always going to
need that support within the
community.
Just from what you were
saying about the Sky Tower
Firefighter Challenge you were
doing with the kids, how many
times have you done it?
This year is the fifth time I’ve
done it. Eight of us went up this
year, it’s the biggest team we’ve
sent up which is great because
we can give more money to the
leukaemia foundation.
What does the Sky Tower
Challenge involve?
You start in the basement of
the Auckland Sky Tower maybe
five or six floors below street
level. We are in full kit too. With
the breathing apparatus that
can weigh upwards of 10kg. You
climb and just keep focused and
keep going and then go for a well
deserved beer when you’re done.
Why do you keep going back?
It’s just a challenge, every time
you go you’re competing with
FAMILY INVOLVEMENT: Brother Hamish (left), father Wayne
and Steven have all competed in firefighting challenges as a
family.
yourself and everyone else. We
have our own wee inter brigade
competition, my big goal every
year is to try and beat my dad,
which I haven’t been able to do
yet.
You go over seas to compete
in combat challenges don’t you?
Yeah, I do. Dad, Hamish and I
have both gone over and competed
at worlds. I’ve done it three
times, dad has done it twice and
Hamish has done it once.
What does it involve?
It involves climbing up a
couple of flights of stairs, hauling
up a hose, running back down
the stairs, force-able entry while
dragging the hose and then
victim rescue. You do it in your
full gear too so you’re carrying a
bit of weight.
You were saying you are a
firefighter full-time too?
Yeah, I work at Christchurch
Airport as a firefighter.
What made you want to do
that?
I was volunteering at the time
and thought it’d be cool to get to
work full time and get paid to
do it. I thought I’d get the best of
both worlds, get to go to work
and mainly focus on the aviation
side of things and the aircraft
and then on my days off I get
to do the volunteer fire service
work.
With such a busy life firefighting
do you have time for a
relationship?
My girlfriend is a fire fighter
as well so she understands pretty
well how it all works. We both
do competition stuff so we train
together and push one another to
keep going.
Did you guys meet through
firefighting?
Yeah we did, it’s kind of funny.
She works at the airport as a firefighter
as well. We met well she
was on her basic training.
Between volunteering and
working full-time do you get
much down time?
Oh a little bit. I’m usually kept
pretty busy with the brigade. That’s
cool though, I really enjoy it.

School sets up dog club
LINCOLN HIGH School now has
a dog club.
Emily Tighe is a teacher at the
high school and she started the
dog club to offer students a chance
to learn more about dogs and pick
up some training tips.
“We are the only school to
have a dog club that is officially
sanctioned by the New Zealand
Kennel Club. It’s pretty exciting,”
Miss Tighe said.
Miss Tighe wanted to teach
children and parents about foundation
skills. This covers obedience
and body awareness towards
dogs.
“It’s really important that we
teach our young people how to
interact safely and be responsible
around animals, “ she said.
Joanna Hussey, 13, goes to the
dog club because she “likes to
learn new things” and seeing what
skills the dogs can learn.
“It’s pretty rewarding getting to
see what they can do,” she said.
The club has been operating via
an online platform and held its
first meeting earlier this month.
The club has been growing in size
and currently has 16 members.
Lincoln High School deputy
principal Stephen Rout said the
dog club is “unique” to the school.
“I think it’s fantastic that we
have a teacher here who has the

interest and skills that she wants

said.
Ella Dalley is another member
of the dog club and said it has
been a lot of fun and she is enjoying
the skills she has learned.
Miss Tighe hopes to see more
schools following in Lincoln High
Schools footsteps and start dog
clubs of their own.
“We hope other schools will
want to take on board what we are
doing and do the same. We dream
of inter-school competitions.”

Quake-damaged
properties keep
rates remission
THE DISTRICT council
has agreed to extend its rates
remission for earthquake
damaged properties.
Following the September 2010
earthquakes the district council
set up a rates remission policy for
houses that were badly damaged
and made uninhabitable as a
result from the earthquakes.
The district council adopted
the policy in October 2010 which
allowed for the majority of rates
to be waived if a dwelling was
uninhabitable following the
earthquake and no one was living
at the address.
At the council meeting last
week all of the councillors agreed
to extend the policy for another
year, until June 30, 2017.
This is the third time the
remission has been granted for
residents.
In the 2015/16 rating year to
date the Council has received and
approved 12 applications under
the criteria for a remission, with a
total cost to Council of $7,065.
The district council noted
that although numbers are low,
new applications are still being
received and extending the policy
for a further year would assist
ratepayers who continue to be
affected.

Quake experiences needed
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
QUAKE claimants’ experiences
are being surveyed for a
comprehensive report, to help
insurers better respond to future
disasters.
The survey is the only independent
one being done and it is
essential research, Massey University
school
of economics
and finance
senior lecturer
Michael
Naylor (left)
said.
“We’ve had
interest from
all around the
world, with people asking what
we’ve learnt. Future generations
are going to want to learn from
our experiences as well. This is
important.”
The university is currently
compiling the data and calling
for Cantabrians to complete its
survey on quake claim experiences,
Dr Naylor said.
“We’ve already got more than
1000 responses, but we’d like
5000, 10,000 . . . the next major
disaster could well be Christchurch

LINCOLN ENVIROTOWN Trust
chairwoman Sue Jarvis has won the
exact weight of a 58kg pumpkin and
won a $50 petrol voucher.
Springston resident Terry Windle
spent nearly four months growing
the pumpkin for a Springston pumpkin
growing competition, which he
happened to win.
Mr Windle then decided to put the
pumpkin on display outside Lincoln
Hammer Hardware so people could
guess the weight for $1.
The money has been donated to the
Springston Enviro Community and
Springston School’s garden so they
could buy more seeds for their plants.

DAMAGE: Telegraph Rd, Darfield, after the September 2010 earthquake
The data collected from the
survey will be compiled into a
comprehensive report, and given
to the likes of quake insurers
and EQC.
While there has been a lot of
responses already, the university
needs a more diverse cross-section
of homeowners to respond,
several tickets to have a couple
of guesses and to support
Springston School’s garden.
“I brought three or four tickets
and had a guess of what it might
be. I was flabbergasted when I
won because I never expected
to,” she said.
The school’s “secret garden” is
part of the community garden
that backs onto the school.
The Springston secret garden
as the children named it because
it is on a back section not seen
from the road, was started by
the Springston Enviro Community
Group, whose volunteers
are now working closely with
the Springston Primary School
teachers and children.
Dr Naylor said.
“We haven’t got many from
the east side commenting,
mainly because most of them
were renters. We’re also after
commercial claims, a real wide
range of people.”
Dr Naylor also said that it is
often the “angry” claimants that
complete the survey.
“The only ones you hear about
in the media are negative, and
the ones coming to us are
negative. But we’re also aware
that a number of people have
had good experiences.”

• By Caitlin Miles
ROLLESTON VOLUNTEER
Fire Brigade is heading to
Australia after winning a
national competition.
The brigade won the National
Road Crash Rescue Challenge
this month. There were 16
teams from around the country
involved.
United Fire Brigades’ Association
has held the event for nearly
10 years. It involves teams of
six, including a team leader and
medic. They have 30 minutes
to remove and treat patients
involved in simulated vehicle incidents.
They are scored on their
techniques, time and how they
deal with patients.
Team members Rob Henderson
and Hannah Simpson also
won the Trauma Challenge,
which is part of the National
Road Crash Rescue Challenge.
This is the first year the team has
won the two categories.
This is the seventh year Rolleston
Volunteer Fire Brigade has
competed in the challenge and
team leader John Trounson said
they had gone from strength to
strength.
The challenge also provides a
chance to learn more about how
to deal with different types of
road accidents, including how to
stand a horse float up with the
horse still inside after it rolled.
“Every year we learn something
new. It’s a great learning
opportunity. We get to bring the
skills back to the brigade, which
is important in an area like
Selwyn,” Mr Trounson said.
The team spends up to six
hours a week training for the
event. They have a good relationship
with car wrecker and
dismantler Pick-A-Part which
crushes certain parts of cars so
the team can practice cutting different
areas of the car up.
“We’re really lucky to have
the support from Pick-A-Part,
our families and the brigade to
be able to compete in the challenges,”
he said.
Mr Trounson said the competition
was a hard effort but was
all worth it.
The team will head to the
Australasian competition in July.
Between now and then the team
will spend a lot of their time
practising different scenarios.
Top award for Darfield homestead
THE REBUILT Homebush
homestead near Darfield
was honoured in this year’s
Canterbury Architecture Awards
held on Thursday.
The awards, announced at an
event at Hagley Oval pavilion, are
conducted by the New Zealand
Institute of Architects.
The original homestead, built
in 1851, was extensively damaged
in the September 2010 earthquake
and had to demolished.
The new building was designed
by Athfield Architects and
includes salvaged parts of the
original building.
Dennis Chippindale, this year’s
awards convener, led his jury
through 40 shortlisted projects
over eight “marathon” days of
judging.
“Five years on from the ’quakes,
these awards provide us with a
way to survey the profession, to
see how we are responding to the
challenges,” Mr Chippindale said.
Members of the jury panel
were impressed by the way the
architects used older parts of the
building in the industrial and
modern design.
“In its lush pastoral setting,
with its intuitive use of unlikely
forms and raw materials, this
romantic home delights the soul,”
the jury said.
Port internship
opportunity for
budding director
A WEST Melton resident has
been given the opportunity to
work alongside the Lyttelton
Port Company as an intern.
Karen Cameron has been
granted a director internship
with the company.
She is one of 12 people to get
an internship, which are with a
variety of companies throughout
the city.
Christchurch City Holdings
organised the positions to cope
with growing building capacity.
CCHL director Bill Dwyer
said there was an overwhelming
response when seeking interns,
but they had managed to select
12 from more than 150 applicants.
“The recipients are from a
diverse range of ethnic backgrounds,
professions and skill
sets. Being an intern director is
an opportunity for them to gain
an insight into good governance
practice and learn about the
dynamics of sitting on a board,”
Mr Dwyer said.
The appointment is for a term
of 18 months starting mid-way
through this year. The interns
will be given mentoring and a
study scholarship to do an
institute of directors course
during the internship.
“I believe this scheme will
offer worthwhile experience to
those who have been selected
and contribute to diversity
around the board table,” he said.
Christchurch City Holdings
is the infrastructure investment
arm of the city council.
It is the majority shareholder
of Orion New Zealand Ltd,
Christchurch International
Airport Ltd, Lyttelton Port
Company Ltd, Enable Services
Ltd, City Care Ltd, Red Bus Ltd,
EcoCentral Ltd and
Development Christchurch Ltd.

Sizzle in sunshine at Palm Springs
• By Mike Yardley
STEEPED IN showbiz
heritage, feted for its modernist
architecture and famed for its
indie-music festival, Coachella,
I recently had a fling with the
sizzling desert retreat of Palm
Springs.
One hundred and sixty kilometres
east of the City of Angels
and being a desert climate, by
day, it’s generally a few degrees
warmer than Los Angeles,
although it can also be starkly
chillier overnight.
Being a Christchurch boy, and
without wishing to tempt fate,
curiosity got the better of me,
so I made a date with the San
Andreas fault line.
It’s Southern California’s biggest
ticking time-bomb, increasingly
overdue to rupture. Visit
the Coachella Valley Preserve
and the signposting will guide
you to the San Andreas Fault,
where you can straddle the
North American and Pacific
Plates, marked by vertical rock
uplift and slot canyons.
Palm Springs is dramatically
backdropped by the chiselled
peaks of the San Jacinto and
Santa Rosa Mountains.
The best way to get a sense of
the wildly contrasting terrain
is to jump on-board the aerial
tramway, allegedly the world’s
largest rotating cable car, which
zips you up Mount San Jacinto.
Alighting from the cable car,
the mountain peaks and surrounding
pine forests are often
dappled in snow, while the
sprawling wilderness is invitingly
laced with scenic hiking trails.
Fifty years ago, nearly every
major American entertainer
owned a home in Palm Springs,
transforming it into a buzzing
winter playground for Hollywood
royalty. In more recent
years, the region has often been
derided as God’s waiting room
for moneyed retirees.
But Palm Springs is absolutely
back in vogue, with a whole new
generation falling in love with its
trademark mid-century architecture.
I previously had no affinity
for modernism, but I was soon
slayed by the glamtastic, Jetsonian
designs in Palm Springs.
Modernism is to Palm Springs
what art deco is to Miami Beach.
Liberace’s Spanish-style casa
in Belardo Rd is still adorned
with his trademark “L” symbol,
while Twin Palms in Alejo Rd,
the Sinatra House, is where Ol’
Blue Eyes lived and fought with
Ava Gardner. You can arrange a
private tour of the house.
Another superb mid-century
gem is the King’s Love Nest, Elvis
Presley’s honeymoon hideaway.
Located in the leafy cul-de-sac
of Ladera Circle, and officially
known as the Alexander Estate,
this mid-century modern classic
with its sprawling butterfly roof
was built in 1962.
The house has been
authentically restored and you
can book a walkthrough. www.
elvishoneymoon.com

FAST FACTS
•Wellness is big business
in Palm Springs, with many
Angelinos weekending
here to recharge with
all the frills. I stayed at
the Westin Mission Hills
Golf Resort and Spa, a
sprawling establishment
that prides itself on
sweeping up its guests,
with a swirl of indulgences.

DISCOVER THE ARTIST IN YOU
“Everyone can learn to draw and paint,”
suggests renowned professional artist Sarah
Deans.
Sarah takes a twofold approach when
teaching art; covering the classical craft for
structure and confidence building, whilst
showing how to break the rules and think
creatively to explore the artist that a person
wants to be.
“I teach how to use one’s mind to open up
a new world using an accelerated style of
learning,” says Sarah.
Sarah’s methods which differ from traditional
art instruction are extremely effective in
helping budding artists discover their own
creative approach.
“I want them to find out who they are as an
artist so I look for the direction they’re likely
to take in their art and encourage that,”
explains Sarah.
Participants learn how to draw a self-portrait;
something that takes courage yet most can
sketch an outline of their face within two
hours and produce a refined photographic
image in around ten hours. These ‘before
and afters’ help them see their progress
over a short timeframe with most reaching
intermediate drawing level by the end of a
course.
Sarah is a member of the N Z Water Colour
Society and has taught art in Australia where
she also studied colour. This gave her an
in-depth appreciation of individual colours
beyond the craft of colour mixing.
“I teach drawing and painting, encouraging
learners to feel like artists connecting with the
sensitivity and feel of colour,” expands Sarah
who plans to hold colour mixing classes, for
adults who are already doing the ‘colouring in’
hobby.
“Colouring in is healthy being enjoyable,
relaxing, not competitive, and removed from
life’s responsibilities. I teach colour mixing so
novices can become confident to produce
artworks.”
Sarah teaches beginning, intermediate and
advanced level artists and will be running
art workshops and lessons in Tai Tapu and
Christchurch with classes beginning in June.

Fashion
Designer going the extra mile
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
WHEN EMMA Glasson was
looking for a name for her
label, she decided to go with
something that meant a lot to her
– Olessya.
On the surface, it goes perfectly
with the classic, romantic
aesthetic of the brand – but for
the designer, it is the Russian
version of her name and a reminder
of her past.
“I was actually born in Russia,
then adopted and brought up in
New Zealand. When I was 16 I
found out that my birth mother
was a seamstress – which was
crazy. Perhaps that’s where I’ve
got my artistic tendencies from,”
she said.
Miss Glasson’s past is woven
intrinsically into her clothing.
As a small child she “always
knew” she wanted to be a fashion
designer.
“When I was as young as seven
or eight I was already making
clothes and things. I would sew
or even staple fabrics together to
make garments for my teddies,”
she said.
As a child, she saw the industry
as glamorous. Remembering,
she laughs: “Now I know that its
really hard work. There are definitely
late nights and times
when you have no life, but I love
it.”
Miss Glasson studied fashion
at Massey University, but
translating that into work was
difficult, she said.
“I was working as a bartender,
which is obviously not what I
wanted to do.”
Her friend, Zara, was in the
same boat. So they put their
heads together and decided “this
was it,” she said.
“We thought, ‘why not start
our own labels?’ It was very
motivating to have a friend going
through the same things, with
DETAIL:

studio (left) and

friend (above).
us both getting into the fashion
world at the same time.”
Miss Glasson took the leap and
launched her brand in March
last year.
She works out of a home studio,
and stocks stores such as The
Collective, at the Colombo.
Most of her clothing is readyto-wear,
but she does take a lot
of custom orders – such as a
wedding dress she is currently
sewing. She says it is “all about”
going the extra mile.
“It’s just little things, like I
had a customer buy a dress a
few weeks ago and she wanted it
taken in a little – I did it for her
free because it was over a certain
price point and then delivered it
to her home.”
Her customer base is steadily
growing, she’s learning about
what women want to wear and
growing her business smarts, she
said.
“It’s all about baby steps.
People think I’m too young and
naive sometimes – I’m 24 – but
you’ve just got to go for it no
matter what they think.”

Information session for
commercial building owners
Restored Prebbleton Community
Cottage available for hire
One of Selwyn’s oldest buildings has been beautifully restored and
is now available for community hire.
The cottage was recently restored by the Prebbleton Community
Cottage Committee and the Council. It was built in the 1860s and
was originally located on farmland on Birchs Road, but was later
shifted to a farm on Shands Road. In the late 1960s the farm was
purchased by Pyne Gould Guinness Limited (now PGG Wrightson).
In 2007 PGG Wrightson donated the cottage to the people of
Prebbleton. It was relocated after this to land purchased by the
Council beside All Saints Church and now sits on the corner of
Blakes and Springs Roads in Prebbleton.
The cottage is now available for public use and is suited to groups
of up to 20 people. It has a new kitchen and the toilet facilities
have been upgraded. The cottage has two side rooms which were
recently sound-proofed, and the main front room has had a heat
pump installed. Improved lighting has been installed throughout and
the building is accessible to wheelchairs. Parking is available on the
roadside and in the church carpark nearby. The cottage garden is
maintained by the Prebbleton Community Cottage Committee.
For booking enquiries phone Deb on 021 120 2143. For photos of
the cottage see ‘Prebbleton Community Cottage’ on Facebook.
A free information session for owners of commercial and public buildings is
planned for June to discuss Building Warrant of Fitness requirements and
building owners’ responsibilities.
The session is being organised by Selwyn District Council’s Building Team
and will be held at Lincoln Event Centre on Thursday 23 June from 3-5pm.
Register
for this
FREE event
A Building Warrant of Fitness is a certificate which is renewed annually and must be displayed
in the building. It is confirmation by the building owner that all of the specified systems in the
building have been inspected by an independently qualified inspector and were operating
correctly at the time the certificate was issued.
Larger commercial or public use buildings will usually have specified systems, as well as most
smaller commercial buildings. Specified systems are systems or features which need regular
inspection and maintenance to check they are operating correctly so that the building provides
a safe environment for the people using it. Specified systems can include fire alarms, sprinklers
or other fire suppression systems, lifts, automatic doors, air conditioning systems, emergency
lighting systems and a number of other items. On dairy farms, backflow preventers are a
specified system which requires regular checks.
Selwyn District Council Building Manager Ian Butler says the session will be helpful for people who
own or manage buildings with specified systems and will also be of interest to anyone considering
buying a commercial building as it will outline their responsibilities under the Building Act.
“Many of the specified systems installed in commercial or public buildings such as fire alarms,
sprinklers and emergency lighting systems have been installed as a safety measure in case
of an emergency so it is very important to the wider Selwyn community that building owners
understand and meet their obligations to maintain a current Building Warrant of Fitness,” Mr
Butler says.
There are a number of enforcement options available to the council if people don’t meet their
responsibilities to maintain a current Building Warrant of Fitness, including enforcement notices
and prosecution.
To attend this free event please register by 5pm, Tuesday 21 June online at
www.selwyn.govt.nz/register23June
Join our Volunteer Expo
The Council is organising a volunteer awareness expo. The expo is
on Wednesday 22 June from 3-8pm at Lincoln Event Centre and is
a chance for local community groups to explain what services they
offer and recruit new volunteers.
Selwyn community groups are invited to join the expo. It is free
to have a stall and stallholders receive free advertising in local
newspapers. To register your group or find out more about the event
contact 347 2755 or email lisa.larkin@selwyn.govt.nz.
Garden waste days good for our environment
Two community garden waste days in Malvern and Ellesmere have collected over 23 tonnes of organic
waste which will now be composted.
The two garden waste days were held near Leeston and near Darfield in April and provided people with
an alternative drop off point for garden waste. Over the two days, garden waste from 144 vehicles was
dropped off for a small charge. The events were staffed by the members of the Ellesmere Heritage Park
and the Malvern Lions Club, with assistance from Council contractors. Funds from the days have been
donated to both charities with the Ellesmere Heritage Park Trust receiving $560 and the Malvern Lions
Club over $1,000 based on the volume of garden waste from each of the days.
Garden waste can normally be disposed of either through optional Council kerbside green organics
bins in townships or at the Pines Resource Recovery Park near Rolleston. It can also be composted in
your back yard. Information about home composting is available online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/rubbish
under the ‘organic collection’ link.
Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says it was great that people took the opportunity to
dispose of garden waste at the events as people often decide to burn it or put it into their red rubbish
bins and it ends up deposited in landfills.
Two more garden waste days are planned later this year in October/November for Malvern and Ellesmere.
On the roads this week
Edge break and shoulder repairs are scheduled to take place on
Wards Road, with traffic controls in place. Work to extend Broadlands
Drive to connect to Springston Rolleston Road and install a new
roundabout at the junction is continuing. A sewer main is also being
laid on Springston Rolleston Road, terminating just before the new
roundabout with temporary traffic controls in place.
Power undergrounding and streetlight installation work is continuing
on Tennyson Street and Lowes Road in Rolleston with temporary
traffic controls in place. The work on Lowes Road is being done to
enable work to complete the last section of footpath and kerb and
channel required on the road to be undertaken later this year.
Work is continuing on a shared cycleway/walkway on Rolleston Drive.

Good honest food the secret at Otahuna
IN THE GARDEN: Most of the ingredients Jimmy McIntyre uses
in his dishes are grown on the Otahuna Lodge grounds.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THERE AREN’T many chefs
who would invite their guests
right into their kitchen while
they work.
But for Jimmy McIntyre,
sharing the secrets behind his
food is part of what he loves.
His food is immaculately presented,
like art on a plate, using
skills he learned over almost
40 years cooking across New
Zealand, Asia and Europe.
But it was still good, honest
food, he said.
“Everything on the plate has
to be edible, no prissy garnishes
or anything like that.
And the secret to good honest
food was in the details, he
said - from the herbs growing
in the gardens right outside the
kitchen, the bread freshly made
in the mornings, or the hams
they cured for more than a year
to get the flavours right.
Sharing that with his guests
might mean inviting them
along to select mushrooms for
dinner that night, or into the
kitchen for a private lesson on
how it was prepared.
“It can be pretty frenetic,
so you’ve got to be organised,
but generally we get good at it.
And because the menu changes
every day it’s like cooking out of
a big magic box.”
His first role in the kitchen was
at about 11 years old, when he
worked for his stepfather in the
holidays washing dishes to earn
pocket money.
He said kitchens in those days
were very different places. Fine
food almost exclusively meant
French food.
He spent his early years working
for chefs at hotels and restaurants
around Auckland.
In his 30s, he spent several
years working around the world,
travelling Asia and then working
on a riverboat in Germany and
Portugal.
“I saw something quite amazing
I had never actually realised
before, and that was just good,
honest, basic, peasant food,
and how wonderful it could be.
Watching a woman make naan
bread in the sand over an open
fire in the middle of nowhere in
India, that sort of thing,” he said.
He returned to New Zealand to
take a job at Christchurch restaurant
Phloyds, which he said was
awarded Restaurant of the Year
after four months.
He went on to work at several
restaurants, including Espresso
124, which was where he met his
wife, Philippa, who is also a chef.
They met when they were both
guest chefs at the Sign of the
Takehe, but he didn’t think anything
of it at the time, he said.
SELWYN TIMES
“But she tracked me down
at work a few months later and
came into lunch at work with
some friends. She rang me up
just before service and said
would you like to get a drink
after work and I said yeah, sure.
And we’ve been together ever
since.”
He said juggling schedules was
a challenge around their three
young children, as she started
work at 5.30am and he often
worked late.
“It’s tough when you’re never
home half the time, but she’s my
rock and she understands what
it’s like.”
He took on the role at Otahuna
13 years ago, and was there
throughout the earthquakes,
when it had to be closed twice for
repairs.
But although many chefs
around the city lost their jobs,
he said the owners of the lodge
made the decision to keep all the
staff on.
Over the four months the
lodge was closed for repairs, the
team kept busy feeding the army
of tradespeople at work on the
place, he said.
“There were truck drivers and
blocklayers and painters. All the
subbies were competing to get
out here and do the job, because
they got a really beautiful cooked
lunch every day.”

SPORTS
Introducing
Selwyn Sports Trust
Just over three years ago a group of Selwyn professionals with strong
interests in sport created Selwyn Sports Trust. They had grand ideas
for the Selwyn District and in the past three years have been working
hard to realise these, or at least begin to realise them.
SST has a clear vision; to enrich people’s lives and community
wellbeing through sport and recreation. Its mission is to promote and
support participation in sport and recreation in the Selwyn District. Its
primary objective is to increase participation and volunteering in sport
and active recreation by supporting, coordinating and complimenting
existing providers.
As such SST has designed and currently hosts three annual events; the
Lake Crichton Series – Triathlon & Duathlon, the Koru Games and the
Selwyn Running Festival. Ellesmere, Malvern and Lincoln Road Runners
are also SST organised groups that operate on a weekly basis. These
provide active members of the community a chance to exercise with
others of a similar ilk.
It is now the mission of Michael Wilson to ensure SST utilises its
current resources to have the greatest impact on the sport and
recreation landscape within Selwyn. He is also very keen to grow the
resource base that SST has at its disposal.
Watch this space for the future SST initiatives for the Selwyn District.
CENTURION: Ryan Odering has joined the 100-game club for Lincoln. ​
Prop’s milestone
• By Gordon Findlater
LINCOLN PROP Ryan
Odering has a new
addition to the wardrobe
after he bought up his
100th cap.
He received his special
blazer after the match
against Burnham/Dunsandel/Irwell.
The occasion was a special
one for the 28-year-old
who has been playing for
Lincoln since the age of 12.
“Playing with the group
of guys, that’s what keeps
me there. We have a good
group of eight or nine guys
I came through under-15s
and colts with who are still
together.”
Some of Odering’s
fondest memories have
come on the field during
his matches for the first
division team, which he
has been a part of for 11
years, winning multiple
Ellesmere titles.
The highest honour,
though, was winning the
combined country finals in
2011 and 2014.
“Doing the double, that
was pretty special.”
Unfortunately for Odering
and Lincoln, hopes of
another combined title are
over after Rakaia made the
most of home advantage in
Saturday’s quarterfinal, in
what was his 101st match.
While he now spends
his days in the front row it
wasn’t always the case.
Standing at 1.89m and
weighing in around 120kg,
Odering’s senior rugby
days began on the wing.
“I ran 100m pretty
quickly and was always a
biggish sort of a lad.”
A desire to get amongst
the rough stuff has since
led him to the front row
with Lincoln teammate
and World Cup winner Joe
Moody helping him make
the transition.
“Joe’s a real asset for the
club, he came out for my
100th game and I’ve learnt
a lot from him during my
transition from the wing.”
The cap count is only
expected to rise in the
future for Odering who is
already committed to
another season of rugby as
he looks to see his teammates
replicate his achievement.
“A few guys I came
up the grades with are
going for 100 next year.”

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Making the most of
show home viewing
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for features and
fittings to put into a new home. it can also be helpful for getting a spatial feel
for other aspects of a house design.
Before heading out for a day’s
viewing, conduct an internet search.
identify the locations of show home
villages and the types and sizes of the
various building company’s homes on
display, noting down the square metre size
of each home.
if wanting a high end, architectural
design, focus on the larger homes that
have desirable design features. if at the
entry or middle level of the market,
earmark homes that fit this taking in other
show homes for extra ideas.
allow sufficient time when visiting each
show home, asking for a floor plan that has
room sizes before walking through.
Check also the floor to ceiling height
of the rooms and consider how this feels
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or
more spaciousness created with a higher
stud or exposed ceiling beams.
if doors and windows are taller than
normal, weigh their effect in creating a
more luxurious and spacious feel, against
potential inconvenience for small children,
cleaning and maintenance.
on entering each room, take account of
how much furniture is in each room and
whether there is sufficient space for the
furniture you will have in the room and
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look
too, at storage capacity throughout the
home and whether this is adequate.
in the living areas, consider whether a
lounge separated from the family living
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,
living/lounge area is preferable, and
compare internal kitchens with those that
have natural light.
Look too at the layout of the kitchen:
whether to have an island sink or breakfast
bar where a newspaper can be read, and
children can sit and draw or complete
homework; the positioning of appliances;
and how important having a pantry is.
for the little rooms, equate space
and features desired with that needed,
especially if the budget needs to be sharp.
it might be nice to have a large walk-in
shower with double shower heads but is
this just fanciful and will the extra cleaning
annoy you long term. a laundry in the
garage is also more economical though a
separate laundry may be handier.
Bring the garage size into the equation
also. as these vary considerably, assess
the actual measurements of each garage
viewed comparing this with the space
needed for your motor vehicles and other
items to be stored there. if a good number
of toys will be housed there, it may be
sensible to increase the size of this area of
the home.
By imagining what you need, want and
will have in your new home, you will be in
a better position to confidently choose a
design that works for you.

Vineyard device
designed to improve comfort
and efficiency for workers
A mAchine designed to make work
easier and more efficient in vineyards
has been developed by Lincoln
engineering student mike Liao.
The machine allows for grape picking,
leaf clipping and pruning while sitting
down.
mike says the fruiting wire for a
viticulture position system defines the
position of working.
“This wire’s height can vary
depending on different type of trellis
system. But one thing most trellis
systems have in common is they are
relatively low. The working position
is usually much lower than an adult
human’s comfortable working range.
“Thus, the solution — come up with
an adjustable chair which holds workers
into a comfortable position,” mike says.
While the device is designed to make
people’s work easier, the side-effect
of comfortable working is a quality
assured working period and better
efficiency – in this case by up to 20 per
cent in harvesting time.
“This device also rises people’s feet
from the ground which can be cold and
wet. Working with cold and wet feet is
not ideal for anybody.”
The idea came from working in the
university vineyard, he says, where he
found he suffered from a sore back.
“So i started to wonder if there is
something i can do to improve the
experience.”
When his course required students
to come up with a project related
to agriculture, mike saw this as the
opportunity to do just that.
Developing the ‘vineyard assistant
device’ took about two months from
start to its successful field test on
may 6.
mike is not looking to commercialise
his invention at this stage, but it will
be making an appearance, along
with Lincoln University, at this year’s
Fieldays, from June 15-18, and will be
in the innovation Tent.

prototype, and Mike Liao with the device.

Spud takes centre stage
in science programme for students
The poTATo may not be the obvious
choice as a means of inspiring young
minds about science, but that’s precisely
the point for plant & Food Research soil
scientist Dr Trish Fraser.
earlier this month Dr Fraser and
colleagues hosted more than 300 primary
and intermediate students from six
Selwyn District schools at plant & Food
Research’s Lincoln site.
The students were taken on a scientific
journey in sustainable production, crop
protection, breeding and biotechnology,
and food and nutrition, with the potato
holding centre stage.
The visits were part of a project funded
through the Unlocking curious minds
programme – a ministry of Business,
innovation and employment (mBie)
initiative that aims at enhancing the
role and awareness of science in the
community through public engagement
and participation. Researchers and
research teams from across the country
put proposals forward for funding
approval under the scheme.
The programme was repeated over
three sessions, with the students receiving
presentations and taken on a tour to
research stations on plant & Food
Research’s Lincoln site, where they then
participated in science demonstrations.
“The aim of our Unlocking curious
minds project is to inspire children
about science by giving them a greater
appreciation of the important role it plays
in their daily lives, and with things we can
easily take for granted,” Dr Fraser said.
“We tend to think science needs to
have an obvious or dramatic ‘gee whiz’
aspect to be interesting, but we can miss
the fascinating science that plays out
around us every day, either through
natural processes or the work of scientists
themselves.
“We used the potato for the project
because children can easily relate to
them, especially through their love of
chips. So this humble vegetable provides
a great vehicle for explaining how plants
are bred for different purposes, how we
use scientific methods to fight pests and
diseases, how growing plants can affect
the environment, and the range of behindthe-scenes
science that gets the crop from
paddock to plate.
“We wanted to show the students that
something that might seem mundane
actually has a fascinating science story
to tell. in so doing, they gained a better
understanding of the properties and
processes of the living world.”
Dr Fraser’s Unlocking curious minds
project also includes an upcoming

workshop for teachers, which aims at
identifying opportunities to better support
their science teaching endeavours, thereby
enhancing the engagement of students
with the subject.
“primary and intermediate teachers
can be responsible for many subjects,
but cannot be experts in everything. The
school environment can make it tricky to
juggle all of these teaching responsibilities,
with science often perceived as time
consuming and difficult to teach,” Dr
Fraser said.
“Research has shown that while
children start school with enthusiasm,
their motivation for subjects such as
science can decrease as they progress
into intermediate school. An important
part of this programme is to explore ways
of building the teacher’s toolkit to help
ensure students maintain an interest in
science later in life.”

Gardening
Keep veges growing to protect beds
Use winter
for routine
maintenance
Transplant seedlings of
cabbage, cauliflower and
broccoli for a continuous
supply over winter.
Although the weather has
cooled, there are still a few tasks
to be done in the garden this
month. Here are some tips to get
you started.
• Vege gardens – The winter
vege garden should be well
established by now and most of
your seedlings should already be
planted. Continue to sow broad
beans and transplant seedlings
of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli
and silverbeet for a continuous
supply over winter. Sow green
manure crops such as lupin and
mustard in the parts of the vege
garden that will be empty during
the winter months. This will add
nutrients into the soil and protect
beds over winter.
• Strawberries – It’s the
traditional time of the year for
final preparation and planting
of strawberry plants. Areas to
be planted should be mounded
80-100cm above existing ground
level. Incorporate large amounts
of compost into the strawberry
bed. New plants or offsets from
last year’s plants should be planted
15-20cm apart.
• Fruit trees – Pip and stone
fruit will have shed their leaves
and pruning can now begin. We
do this as early possible with
pip and stone fruit to avoid the
infection of silver leaf. Remove
all weak and inward growing
branches and reduce the height
of trees to allow for easy picking
and maintenance. After pruning,
spray with a copper compound
to help prevent any re-infection
of fungal diseases.
• Hedges – It’s an ideal time
for a final tidy up and hedge
trims. But remember, there will
be no new growth until spring,
so final trims should not be too
vigorous so the plants don’t stay
bare looking.
• Roses – It is possibly a little
too early for pruning, and
it does depend largely on the
weather. In the meantime, apply
a copper spray to prevent infection
of fungal diseases in spring.
Remove all dead leaves around
Below: Fruit tree pruning
can now begin.
the base of the rose bushes and
apply compost as both a soil
conditioner and mulch.
• Lawns – Grass growth has
now ceased due to the cooler
weather. It is an excellent time
to level lawns with a roller as the
moist soil makes levelling quite
easily.
• Paths and walkways – Paths
around the house and through
the garden can become very slippery
during the winter months;
water blasting can quickly
remedy this problem. In winter
months, we mainly utilise paths
especially when there are boggy
parts in the garden or lawn. For
this reason, you may wish to
consider additional paths to provide
easier access.
• Container gardens –
Brighten up decks and entrances
with containers full of blooming
winter annuals such as cinerarias,
pansies, primulas, snapdragons
and violas.
Finally, check local garden
centres for newly arrived winter
stock of trees and shrubs as
June is a very safe time for planting.
gardening without guesswork
Last year I put in garlic cloves but they did not expand into multiple
Question: cloves except for one which made only small cloves. The other
cloves changed shape becoming symmetrical but stayed small.
I grew them in garden mix, but did not add anything other than compost. What has gone
wrong and what should I do this time round to grow garlic successfully?
Answer:
Thanks to Jenny for her question.
What a great question! You could try and
start your garlic in our Patio Plus Potting
Mix in small pots, and then transplant
the growing plants into the garden in August. Garlic needs plenty of
fertiliser at planting so garden mix wouldn’t have enough nutrients for
the garlic’s liking. Patio Plus potting mix is ideal as it is packed with
nutrition. A side dressing of Nitrophoska in November will help to
keep sustain growth also. Garlic needs a long growing season and
may be planted from May to August. The bulbs should be planted
about 2x the size of the bulb deep and 25mm to 30mm apart to
allow the plants to develop good size bulbs. Garlic does not cope
well with competing with weeds, so make sure that if you see weeds
pop up, you remove them straight away. The plants should not be
lifted until the tops have fallen over and show signs of drying off
(this may appear as the leaf colour goes from a bright green to a
grey green colour) so do not be in too much of a hurry to lift the
plants unless the weather goes very cold and wet. The idea that you
plant on the shortest day and harvest on the longest day is only a
guide, and we have found from experience that the time to harvest
is usually a lot later than that (as late as mid to late January).
Hopefully this helps!

An Alldays and Onions experience
It was curiosity that led vintage car upholsterer, George lee to accompany a friend on a trip to the West Coast, to see an Alldays and
onions car which turned out to be nothing more than a motor and gearbox.

GeorGe lee began as a professional car upholsterer at the age of 17 and has worked
on motor vehicles at the high end of the market, upholstering hundreds of cars in his
career, from veterans to classics for individual collectors. These have included trimming
Ferraris including one that was redundant for racing, Aston Martins, and Jaguars with
some of the vehicles that he has trimmed being displayed in car shows internationally.
After a long chat with the owner and looking over photos of some of the many cars
that George had upholstered over the years, George who had always said he would not
restore a car unless he found something rare was given the parts.
It was the beginning of a ten year project that incorporated unmentionable hours
searching for parts and rebuilding the Alldays and onion, named after a British firm
which manufactured automobiles between 1898 and 1918 and also built an early tractor
and motorcycles.
“Finding parts was like a treasure hunt and when word got around, it snowballed with
us receiving parts from all over the globe,” advises George.
“A car restorer contacted someone in Nelson which led to us acquiring a burnt out
chassis. Then a client told a colleague whose mate had a chassis. It’s such a unique
vehicle that anything that was out there found me with collectors sending parts they had
in their workshops,” explains George.
The lights were supplied by a man who was disposing of his father’s car light
collection: “It was great. I obtained the right lights for the vehicle from one person,”
adds George.
A differential was located in the North Island and another differential and motor
came from an Alldays and onions’ owner in england. Then there were many hours
making parts that could not be found. George borrowed original seats from another
Alldays and onions car, to take a pattern so he could make the seats, which in the front
swing round to allow backseat passengers to climb in.
The 1905 Swing-Seat Tonneau 10 horsepower twin-cylinder Alldays and onion has
a three speed and reverse gear box and does 36 miles to the gallon making it quite
economical with a range of 120 miles. Its accelerator is a small lever underneath the
steering wheel (not on the floor) and the gear change goes forward
or back.
The brakes are not overly reliable on the car so it has a hill holder (a ratchet/sprocket)
on the back of the gearbox. The driver can drop the arm to jam the gearbox and stop the
car from rolling back down a hill.
George says the car will trundle along all day at 30 miles an hour and is lovely to ride
in, which is not surprising given that he upholstered the seats.
“It’s a real pleasure to build a car like this as you’re preserving history and are its
custodian for a short
time,” says George
who was honoured
when a great great
granddaughter of
Alldays went to see
the car at the easter
Vintage Car Club’s
rally.
“When we drive
along the road, people
turn and look at the
car. All you see is
people smiling and
waving. You don’t
get that with
modern vehicles.”

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
PREP THE VEHICLES
FOR WINTER
Check the condition of
windscreen wiper blades, tyre
pressure and the tread of
each tyre as this can affect
vehicle handling and braking
in the wet.
Winter driving can be challenging when roads are slippery and rain
obscures visibility. It can especially be dangerous if a motor vehicle is not up
to the conditions.
reGulAr SerVICING helps ensure
motoring reliability even when a vehicle
is new, as problems can arise especially
with annual warrant of fitness checks.
Keep an eye on when the WoF is due and
book early so there is time for any needed
repairs before expiry date. This will not
only help ensure vehicle roadworthiness
but also protect your car insurance.
If organising a WoF is a weekend job,
then call by Jones road Auto. Their WoF
bay is open between 9.00 and 12.00 on
Saturday mornings.
Good visibility, reliable brakes,
good tyres, correctly adjusted working
headlights, and a structurally sound vehicle
are all essentials for safe winter motoring.
Check the condition of windscreen
wiper blades, tyre pressure and the tread of
each tyre as this can affect vehicle handling
and braking in the wet. Worn out tyres are
also the reason for many WoF rejections.
If new tyres are needed, rolleston Diesel
and Petrols supply high quality leading
brands such as Maxxis tyres.

to prevent major compressor or pump
failure, while older vehicles may need their
air-conditioning re-gassed to maximise
efficiency.
Antifreeze loses effectiveness over time
so top this up. It helps prevent water in
a vehicle’s cooling system from freezing
and rust deterioration in the radiator and
engine. Selwyn Auto in Springston can
assist with this and any needed repairs.
Brakes that are not in good condition
can be hazardous as a vehicle does not
have the same stopping power, especially
when roads are icy or greasy from rain.
local automotive service centres such as
rolleston Diesel and Petrols specialise in
diesel and petrol repairs of all sizes and will
quickly check the condition of your brakes.
Car batteries work harder to start a
vehicle in colder weather, explaining why
more fail in winter. The life of a battery is
easily tested so if your battery is around
five years old or is struggling at times
get it tested by one of the automotive
centres in Selwyn, that carry batteries,
such as Newlands Auto electrical where
batteries for motorcycles through to heavy

Small engine, high performance
• By Ross Kiddie
IF YOU’VE long considered
buying what’s often been
deemed as the motor industry’s
most desirable hot hatchback
– Peugeot’s 208 GTi – but have
always considered it a little
too small to be practical, then
Peugeot may still have an exciting
sports car for you.
I’m talking about the newlyreleased
308 GTi, it is true to the
hot hatchback concept, yet it is
dimensionally bigger than the
208 offering all of the performance
aspects but in a body shell
which is more family-friendly.
And, what’s more, it gets the
same engine – the 1.6-litre turbocharged
unit which has found its
way across several vehicles from
the Citroen/Peugeot stable.
Some might argue that 1.6-
litre is hardly the powerhouse
for a sports car, but I can report
that somehow Peugeot has managed
to extract 200kW from
this engine, and with a fabulous
330Nm of torque available from
just 1900rpm it is a true powerhouse.
I remember well when
engines of 2-litre capacity were
bordering on 200kW, that was
deemed to be a stroke of engineering
genius, now that mass
market cars can achieve that
output from just 1598cc is, to me,
PEUGEOT 308 GTi: Quintessential hot hatchback.
simply remarkable.
Not surprisingly, the 308 GTi
is quick, Peugeot claim a 6sec
standstill to 100km/h time and
accelerating through a quick
highway overtake, the test
car stopped the clock at 4sec
(80km/h to 120km/h).
Because of its capacity there
aren’t big cylinders to fill with
fuel. Consequently, the 308
GTi also gets a remarkable fuel
usage rating. Peugeot also claim
a six-litre per 100km (47mpg)
combined cycle average. My testing
time included a 5.3l/100km
(53mpg) instantaneous readout
at 100km/h (engine speed
2400rpm) and a 7l/100km
(40mpg) average figure when I
returned the car to the dealership.
All of these figures are impressive,
you can combine the exhilaration
of swift movement without
fear of melting the credit card
come fill-up time.
Not surprisingly, the 308 GTi is
engineered specifically for those
who like to be well involved in
the driving process. It is a manual-only
model, the six-speeder
has a shift movement close and
direct, the clutch is moderately
firmed but progressive with its
action. The suspension is also
well-firmed, it’s not hard, but it is
optimised to accept the challenge
of vigorous cornering.
I took the GTi on a high country
loop which incorporated
many varying twists and turns. It
is a car which relishes that environment,
not only does it usher
in speed forcefully between corners,
it has body balance and suspension
control not unlike that of
its sibling – the 208 GTi.
Providing the grip are sticky,
sport specification Michelin Pilot
tyres (235/35 x 19in). They provide
solid feedback as to how they are
performing in a corner, and they
combat the force of engine power
as it is applied on corner exit. There
is little indication that push towards
understeer would develop, the handling
sensation is neutral.
A feature which I found very
entertaining is the dynamic sport
system. If you initiate a consolemounted
switch the GTi enters a
frenetic, manic mode. The engine
exudes a louder tone, and throttle
response is a lot more reactive.
Dashboard graphics also let you
know you are in dynamic mode,
three percentage bars for power,
boost and torque are displayed
depending on throttle actuation.
Not only is it a car of true performance,
the 308 GTi is also
specced to provide the niceties
that you would expect from a
car which isn’t budget-priced at
$58,990. For that money you get
specification items which include
• Price – Peugeot 308 GTi,
$58,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4253mm; width, 2043mm;
height, 1446mm
• Configuration: Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1598cc, 200kW,
330Nm, six-speed
manual.
• Performance – 0-100km/
h, 6sec
• Fuel usage – 6l/100km
satellite navigation, keyless entry
and ignition and leather trimmed
sports seats.
As a series, the 308 sits on the
cusp of the mid-size hatchback, it
couldn’t be classed as a true fiveseater,
although there are three
seat belts across the rear; but
mostly it is a comfortable fourseater
and it also has the benefits
of rear doors.
And while the 308 range isn’t
vast in terms of model proliferation,
there are interesting aspects
within the range. Notably, a diesel
GT was released at the same time
as the GTi, I’m due to drive that
car soon and I simply can’t wait.
It shares much the same componentry
which makes the GTi so
agile yet, I’m assuming it has that
fabulous mid-range boost that
only diesel engines develop.
