Gun thefts worry police
• By Andrew King
HIGH CALIBRE rifles,
shotguns and pistols, stolen from
properties in the Selwyn district,
have police concerned.
More than 20 guns have been
stolen between June 10-15 from
properties in Greenpark and
Leeston, including high calibre
hunting rifles.
Detective Karen Simmons said
a number of firearms have been
taken in separate burglaries in
the area.
On Wednesday, a property on
Brookside & Irwell Rd was broken
into and a number of guns
were taken, including a .303 and
.270 rifle, along with a couple of
shotguns.
Eighteen firearms and two vehicles
were stolen from a Greenpark
address on Friday 10 June.
Both vehicles stolen were found
burnt out.
In both firearm thefts, the
weapons were secured in cabinets.
The Selwyn Times understands
another burglary at the
Milton St Challenge petrol station
in Somerfield could be linked with
the Greenpark burglary.
On the same day as the Greenpark
burglary, a property was
broken into on Selwyn Lake Rd
about 3pm. No firearms were reported
stolen from that address,
but household items were taken.
Detective Simmons said at this
stage, there is no link between
the four burglaries, but they are
keeping an open mind.
Leeston Constable Herb
Inwood said it does not appear
the properties had been targeted
because they had weapons.
Police want any information
in regard to people unlawfully
in possession of firearms or gun
safes that have been dumped in
the area.
Anyone with information
should phone the police on
363 7400 or anonymously on
0800 crimestoppers. Constable
Inwood said the serial numbers
of weapons should be recorded
to help police identify recovered
firearms.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News........................3,4, 5 & 7
Growing up in Leeston, I well remember
the old pub that used to
be on the corner. Of course, then
I was far to young to venture in –
but boy did I hear the stories.
Therefore I am delighted to
hear that the Leeston pub is in the
construction phase, after it was
demolished after the earthquakes.
Meanwhile, while the big lads
were warming up to do battle
for the Murray Cooper shield,
our photographer Karen Casey
caught all of the action of the
curtain raiser – the Waihora and
Lincoln rippa rugby battle. Check
out page 20.
This week, reporter Caitlin
Miles caught up with Lincoln
High School student Hannah
Long who is heading to the
United Nations Youth Conference
for the third year in a row. She
also won a scholarship from Coffee
Culture which will help her on
the way.
Have a great week.

Hotel for Leeston under way
LAND
• By Caitlin Miles
IT HAS been a long time
between drinks, but the longawaited
replacement for the
Leeston Hotel, The Crate and
Barrel, is on its way.
Work began at the Market
St site last Monday when the
fences went up.
Owner Craig Bradford, who
also co-owns the Famous
Grouse Hotel in Lincoln, said
the pub would be rebuilt within
12 months, but he is aiming for
an earlier opening in February
for the $3.2 million build.
The community has been
without a pub since the Leeston
Hotel was demolished in 2011,
due to earthquake damage in
the September 4, 2010, and
February 22, 2011, earthquakes.
Mr Bradford said it had been
a bit of lengthy wait for residents.
“Because of the earthquake,
the laws and regulations have
changed. We have to make
sure we comply by it, it’s no
one’s fault in particular,” he
said.
But now work was well underway
on the old English-style
pub.
It will include a motel, backpackers,
restaurant, TAB and
UNDER WAY: Work on
the Crate and Barrel site
has begun, the build is
expected to be completed
in a year. ​
pokie machines, and liquor
store, he said.
“I would like to think the
Leeston community are
wrapped with their new pub,”
“Your pub is your meeting
place, it’s your town hall, it’s
your everything,” he said.
In Brief
FOR DRAINAGE
NETWORK PURCHASED
THe district council recently
purchased land in Lincoln near the
new Rail Trail path. The land is next
to Ellesmere Rd and it allows the
stormwater and drainage network
to continue to be upgraded to cater
for Lincoln’s current and future
growth. This is part of the 17ha of
wetland on Ellesmere Rd which
is part of a system to treat storm
water from parts of the town. To
continue these works, the culvert
under the junction of Edward St
and Ellesmere Rd will be upgraded
to carry a 50 year storm water event
and the downstream channel will
be upgraded to cater for larger
flows and allow spring water and
stormwater to be separated.
DECISION ON ANNUAL
PLAN
The district council will decide
whether or not to adopt the
Annual Plan for 2016/2017 at
the district council meeting on
Wednesday. The annual plan sets
out the council’s financial and
operational plan for the financial
year ending June 2017. The
long-term plan was adopted this
month and describes what the
council plan to do for the next 10
years. This will set in place financial
plans for the second year of the
annual plan.

Warm up at the Home Show
PREPARATIONS FOR The
Star Home & Leisure Show are
ramping up, with two weeks
to go until the doors open.
More than 12,000 people
visited the show last year,
which runs over Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
The show features the latest
trends and technology for
home building or renovation,
as well as show-only special
deals on everything from spa
pools to campervans.
You can talk directly with
the experts there to get advice
or tips, watch live demonstrations
or take the opportunity
to try new products or technology.
There will also be plenty of
prizes and giveaways on offer,
including a $25,000 central
heating system, thanks to
Central Heating New Zealand.
The show will be held at
Horncastle Arena, July 1-3
from 10am to 5pm, with free
parking available. Entry is $8,
with children under 12 free,
and limited two for one entry
offers available in The Star.

SHOW
IT WASN’T until he spent
several years living in the United
Kingdom that Central Heating
New Zealand director Lyall
Smith realised how cold his
childhood homes had been.
He said most Kiwis would
rather spend money on boats,
spa pools or a second car than
investing in heating their home.
“The Kiwi is an interesting
character. We’re hardy by nature
and we’ve been brought up cold,
so a lot of people say, well, we
don’t need it.
“We go for more interesting
things like spa pools, which have
been a huge success in New Zealand,
more so than in most other
parts of the world.
“People are cold in their
homes so they sit in the spa and
think this is fantastic, when
if their home was warm they
almost wouldn’t need it. We feel

the tough old Kiwi is missing
out.”
Once central heating was
installed, he said it was more
efficient and a more comfortable
heat than other systems, with
an even heat and no forced air
movement.
But he said the higher up-front
cost of the system, which starts
at about $15,000, put people off.
“People have a budget when
they’re building, and it’s often
the first thing to go. They think,
I don’t need a flash heating
system because I have a new
house, it’ll be warm. But that’s a
fallacy. They’re building an insulated
box, so it’s like a chilly bin.
When it’s cold, it’s really cold.”
The heat source could range
from boilers powered by gas or
diesel, to electric-powered heat
pumps, which pumped water
rather than air, to geothermal
systems.
Although he said the “only
form of truly green heating is a
jersey”, the systems were clean
burning and efficient.
Once the pipes were installed,
the heat source could be
swapped out if new technology
developed.
He planned to have a range of
radiators on display at The Star
Home & Leisure Show.
He said they came in a range
of “funky colours” and styles.
The company will also be giving
away a free central heating system
worth $25,000 at the show.

Selwyn a boom town AWARD
THE ECONOMIC good times
continued to roll for Selwyn,
data shows.
The latest Infometrics
Quarterly Economic Monitor
reported that Selwyn’s GDP
grew by 3.6 per cent in the year
to March – well ahead of the
Canterbury average of 0.8 per
cent and the New Zealand average
of 2.3 per cent.
Selwyn’s GDP had an estimated
value of $1.8 billion.
Infometrics senior economist
Benje Patterson said the district
was reaping the benefits of
expanding industrial zones
and infrastructure within its
boundaries.
“Selwyn is bucking the trend
that is occurring in other parts
of Canterbury, where a tapering
off of residential rebuilding
work and losses in the dairy
sector are constraining growth,”
Mr Patterson said.
Retail trade is also booming
in the district and is up by 9.3
per cent for the year to March,
compared to the same period
last year.
Canterbury retail trade grew
by 1.2 per cent and national
trade grew by 2.8 per cent.
Retail trade figures are
sourced from Marketview from
electronic card spending. They
show that $66 million was spent
in Selwyn in the period over
January-March.
High Street Hair owner
Therese Ridden has noticed the
increase in her Leeston business
due to new clients in the area.
“We have noticed the growth,
we have a really loyal client base,
but five per cent of our clients
are new, which is big for us,”
Mrs Ridden said.
Unemployment remains
low in the district at 2.1 per
cent, compared to 5.7 per cent
nationally and 3.5 per cent for
Canterbury as a whole.
Local accommodation providers
were busy with the number
of guest nights stayed in Selwyn,
increasing 11 per cent from
87,282 nights the previous year
to 96,608 nights.
International migration in
Selwyn jumped by 76 per cent
with 367 new international
migrants moving to the district,
up from 203.
Residential building consent
numbers for the year were unchanged
from the previous year.
The value of non-residential
construction consents increased

by 13 per cent with consents to
$109 million.
The report indicates Selwyn’s
dairy payout for the 2015/16
season is expected to be $275
million, $16.6 million lower
than the previous season.
Mr Patterson said that, at this
level, most dairy farmers would
be running below their breakeven
point.
“Given these losses, dairy
farmers will have to keep relying
heavily on bank credit lines
and will continue displaying
cautious spending behaviour,”
he said.
In Brief
NOMINATIONS
CLOSE
Nominations for Sensational
Selwyn have now closed but
tickets are still available. The
awards are focused on recognising
and honouring outstanding
Selwyn individuals, community
groups and businesses, for their
work and achievements. The
dinner will be on July 30.
INFORMATION EVENING
An information evening for
people wanting to stand in local
elections will be held at the end
of the month. Anyone who wants
to learn more about local politics
should attend. The evening will
provide more information about
standing for local body elections,
including becoming a councillor,
community board member or
mayor. The event will be held at
the district council headquarters
in Rolleston on Thursday 30 June
from 7pm.
LAKE WARNING
A health warning is still in place
at Lake Forsyth as Environment
Canterbury continues to monitor
its condition. ECan surface water
science manager Tim Davie said
the nodularia concentrations had
declined, but were still above the
level at which health warnings
needed to be in place.

Permanent slow speed signs
• By Hannah Samson-Barry
LINCOLN motorists will be
getting a reminder to slow
down, with permanent digital
speed signs being installed.
Lincoln Community
Committee wanted to install
digital speed signs around
the town to remind people
of the speed they should be
travelling at when entering
the township.
The district council has a
series of the signs on rotation
around the district, but
committee chairwoman Ivy
Harper said they wanted the
signs to stay in Lincoln.
“Our community is
growing so much, we wanted
a regular reminder,” Mrs
Harper said.
The permanent signs will
placed on Edward St, Birchs
Rd and Gerald St.
The committee enlisted the
help of companies around
Canterbury to pay for the
permanent signs as they are
“quite expensive.”
The supply, installation and
commission per sign is $9600,
making a grand total of
$28,800 for all three signs.
Funders included
Fulton Hogan, Lincoln
Developments Ltd, BHL
Trust, Broadfield Estates and
Ngai Tahu.
There is currently a
temporary council sign on
Boundary Rd, one of those
the council has on rotation
throughout the district.
Mrs Harper said that
the committee was keen to
ensure that the signs were
available, so they lobbied
for sponsorship, which was
gratefully received.
The signs are yet to be
installed but now that the
money has been raised it is a
case of getting them installed
and up-and-running.
The signs will be installed
by the district council’s
maintenance contractor, HEB
Construction is expected to
start in about a month.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you
think these signs will help
reduce speed? Email your
thoughts to caitlin.miles@

SAFETY: Permanent vehicle
speed signs will be set
up on roads into Lincoln
in a bid to slow motorists
entering the town.
Fine for using
pepper spray
• By Andrew King
A TOURIST who lashed out with
pepper spray after consuming
alcohol and cannabis at an Arthur’s
Pass backpackers has been fined
$600.
Tourists staying in the hostel had
to flee Simon Christopher Haas who
became paranoid and lashed out
with pepper spray he had brought
into the country from Germany.
Haas admitted one charge of possessing
a disabling substance in the
district court on June 16.
He is from Liechtenstein, a German-speaking,
principality between
Austria and Switzerland.
Haas was arrested on June 9 after
he discharged the spray through a
dormitory to deter what he thought
were his attackers.
Senior Constable Tony Beaumont
arrived to find a number of people
recovering from being blasted with
pepper spray.
“Turns out the man who called
us thought he was being attacked
but was actually just paranoid. The
others were just going about their
business,” he said.
None of the people hit by the
spray have pressed charges.
“He was quite confused when we
turned up. He was unsure why we
were there. He came right after a
few hours,” Senior Constable Beaumont
said.

understanding world politics
Last year I represented France at
the regional competition.
Which country are you representing
this year?
I’m representing Singapore this
year. I didn’t know much about
the country before being tasked
with representing it. I’ve been
there before with my family so all
I really knew about it was that it’s
beautiful.
How long do you get to learn
about the country and what do
you need to know?
I’ve had roughly a month to
gather information about the
country. So things like understanding
the current affairs and
news, understanding the policy
within the political parties and
how the country runs and everything.
Is this the first year you are
taking part in the conference?
It’s the first year I’m taking part
in the national one. UN Youth
does a regional version of the
same style conference and then
a national one. I’ve done the
regional one before but never the
national one so it’s quite exciting.
That sounds extremely full on,
how did you get involved in it?
Yes, it is quite intense. I really
enjoy knowing what’s happening
in the world around me and
understanding world politics. I’ve
always been the girl who sits in
YOUTH MEMBER: Hannah has been a member of the UN
Youth organisation for three years and hopes to continue in
politics at university next year.
class making political or historical
jokes which no one laughs at. In
year 10 my social studies teacher
asked me if I’d be interested
in getting involved in United
Nations Youth Canterbury so I
decided to see what it was like.
I’ve been a member ever since.
What do you enjoy about being
part of the organisation?
When I first joined it was quite
nerve-racking and I wasn’t sure
if I could handle being in a room
with such passionate young people.
I realised I could though and
it’s really great to be in a group of
really like-minded young people
and they get my political or
historical jokes which is great. I’ve
made some truly life long friends
through the organisation.
Why did you decide to apply
for the Coffee Culture scholarship?
I really love Coffee Culture. I
spend a lot of time there. So I was
in there and saw that you could
apply for a scholarship of $500 if
it’s sport, academic or cultural.
I had to fill in some basic questions,
write about my short-term
and long-term academic goals
and how what I’m doing will
benefit the community. So I applied
because I really wanted to
go to the national event but there
is always costs involved. The government
of Singapore has paid for
my flights and accommodation
which is really great, so the $500
from Coffee Culture is going towards
paying for the conference.
How do you think attending
this conference will benefit
Lincoln community?
I want to show everyone that
young people do actually take an
interest in the world around them
and what is happening here and
overseas in terms of politics and
issues. I thought if I go to this
then other young people might
want to go or learn more about
the organisation.
Are you spending a lot of time
preparing for the conference at
the moment?
Actually, as I’m talking to you
I’m applying to go on a 30-day
trip around the United States and
Europe with the United Nations
Youth organisation. It includes
visiting the UN headquarters in
New York which would be really
exciting and eye-opening to be
able to be there.
What do you need to be accepted
into that?
Among other things you need
to have excellence right through
NCEA and tell them what sets
you a part from everyone else.
They really like to show diversity
and having arrange of view
points. If I get in I’ll also need
$9000 so if I get in I’m going to be
doing a lot of fundraising.
This must take up a lot of
time?
I’m on the student council at
Lincoln too, so I was part of the
group that just finished organising
the ball a couple of weeks ago.
Surprisingly it doesn’t take up too
much time.
Do you plan on studying politics
when you leave school?
Yes, I plan to do a double major
in political sciences and either
history or sociology I’m not quite
sure yet and I plan to do a minor
in Chinese.
What would be your dream
job?
I’m glad that what I’ve chosen
to study means I can travel
with my chosen job. Like I don’t
have to work for a government
agencies, I can work for charities
and things like that anywhere
round the world. It sounds really
strange but I would happily put
myself on the front-line in places
like Syria or places in the same
situation and be involved in peace
talks and child protection kind of
things.
Are you ready to play your part
in Canterbury’s water management?
We’re looking for people who want to make a difference. We’re
looking for people who have expertise and want to help find solutions.
If this sounds like you then applications to join the Regional Water Management
Committee are now open. The committee is refreshing its community membership
for the first time since 2013 to ensure new perspectives are reflected.
What is the Regional Water Management Committee?
The committee is a key advisory group made up of representatives from councils,
Rūnanga and the community.
It provides strategic water management advice to councils and industry groups
to deliver the multiple targets of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.
The committee’s work helps ensure we have safe drinking water supplies,
sustainable farming practices, clean rivers and streams, as well as protecting
environmental, cultural, and recreational values.

Water quality concerns
Mike Glover is
a Springston
South resident
and concerned
ratepayer. In this
column he writes
about the issues
surrounding
Selwyn
waterways.
I read comments in
this column by Selwyn Waihora Water
Zone Committee members Pat McEvedy
and Allen Lim with some interest.
I think they have done a great job
collaborating with Ngai Tahu and implementing
a cultural landscape values management
plan in respect to Te Waihora/
Lake Ellesmere and also in their initiatives
fencing off environmentally important
areas and enhancing others.
However, when it comes to addressing
water quality both in rivers and groundwater
I’m afraid I don’t share their rosy
viewpoint.
For a start – the government rewrote
the water quality regulations in 2014
when they signed off the National Objectives
Framework for water. The limits for
nitrates in water actually allow for more
nitrate pollution in our rivers than we
have already.
Freshwater ecologist Mike Joy in his
book Polluted Inheritance explains how
the NOF allows for 10 times more nitrates
in our rivers than previous guidelines
– ANZECC guidelines were up to 0.61
mg/l, the new bottom-line is a whopping
6.9 mg/l. The NOF also implements new
quality bands – A, B, C and a fail level.
To show just how lax they are, fewer than
one per cent of the rivers in New Zealand
would breach the new bottom line. In fact,
most of them, no matter how laden with
nutrients, still score an A or B.
The Liffey Stream in Lincoln is badly
degraded with nitrates and phosphates
from the very springs where it starts (Lincoln
Waterwatch Test Sept 2015). Under
the NOF it gets a C ranking, even though
SELWYN TIMES
RISK:
The Liffey
Stream in
Lincoln
is badly
degraded
with
nitrates and
phosphates.
with nitrates at 4.4 mg/l, it is too poisoned
to support the many invertebrate species
that should thrive there. When I was at
school a C was a pass – but under these
water quality limits a C kills insect life
– a fail in most people’s eyes. To put it in
perspective the Mississippi and Yangtze
Rivers, two of the most nutrient polluted
rivers in the world, would only score a B
for nitrates under the NOF.
The aquifers that feed the Liffey Stream
springs are shallow like many others in
the district which people use for drinking
water. Some are so polluted with nitrates
that babies, in particular, risk serious ill
health if they drink the water.
Surely it’s only a matter of time before
the deep clean aquifers, so beloved by
Cantabrians for their pristine water, are
polluted too. Ecan admits that the pollution
in the Liffey Stream is from ‘‘agricultural
run off’’ but that’s another story …

Readers respond to
an article about the
possibility of Lincoln
getting a community
park, part of which will be
a skate park
Gavin Eastwick, of
Lincoln – I fully support the
establishment of a skate park in
Lincoln, particularly as I know
my grandchildren would make
great use of it.
However, I, like many that
I have spoken to, are a little
concerned about the most
preferred site.
In December 2013, the
Christchurch City Council
prepared a report on behalf
of Selwyn, outlining potential
youth park sites. Only three
were considered and the site
audit summary suggested
that the area at the end of the
Lincoln Event Centre car park
would be the most appropriate.
However, that audit report did
express some concerns.
They are as follows:
Restricted sightlines. No
through access from Meijer
Drive to Boundary Rd. Rugby
Club access is through the site.
Lighting. Opportunities
for passive surveillance are
limited. Movement of vehicles
in close proximity on busy
days at the Event Centre.
We can already perceive
the danger to children from
Saturday traffic particularly in
the winter months.
Looking back
With limited passive
surveillance the feeling of the
sight being “safe” may be more
perceived than actual.
While there is an extensive
lighting system on the rugby
fields,those lights cannot be
turned onto the proposed site
at will. The location among
other district council-owned
facilities could increase the
likelihood of crime and
antisocial behaviour going
unnoticed.
The area adjacent to the
Rugby Club was assessed by
the Christchurch City Council
capital programme group on
behalf of Selwyn and that team
used national crime prevention
through environmental design
guidelines. Although, of the
three sites considered, this was
deemed the most appropriate,
it was suggested that this site
should be carefully considered
before proceeding. I, like
others, am concerned that
the proposed site is not visible
enough and will never be so
until Meijer Drive is extended
through to Boundary Rd.
Trish Hollis, of Lincoln – I
am a grandmother and fully
agree that a skate park should
be here in Lincoln.
Any activity that children
are keen on should be made
available. I think the ideal
place would be opposite the
Lincoln Event Centre.

A Big Thank You
To Selwyn’s Volunteers
This week (from the 19th to the 25th of June) is
National Volunteer Week. This year’s themes are
Make time - Whai whā and Thanks for making time -
Kia ora mō tāu whai whā.
Volunteering is any activity that involves offering
your unpaid time, energy and skills for the
greater good. Around 1.2 million New Zealanders
(approximately one-third of the population) are
volunteers.
New Zealand is a leading nation in terms of the
contribution made by our volunteers. A 2008 study
of the New Zealand non-profit sector estimated
that volunteers make up 67% of the non-profit
workforce. This is equivalent to 133,799 full-time
positions.
While we might traditionally think of volunteers as
retired folk giving back to their community – and I
know many amazing individuals in Selwyn who fit
into that category – I was interested to learn that
the people who volunteer the most in New Zealand
are those in the 30-39 age group.
Some of these volunteers may not even realise that
they are volunteering when they offer to help out
on school trips or in school classrooms or fundraise
for their school PTA or preschool. However,
without parents, grandparents and others giving
up their time to help out in these ways, our school
communities would be much more limited in what
they could achieve.
Volunteers create positive change in many areas.
They work in our communities’ churches; provide
health, educational and social services; assist
with sports and recreation; promote arts and
culture; provide emergency services; contribute
to environmental and conservation efforts; and
provide many other important services.
Many people these days feel that they don’t have
Visiting the Kirwee Volunteer Fire Brigade in 2015
enough time to volunteer. Our lives seem busy
with the responsibilities of our paid employment,
running our household, managing our family
obligations and other activities such as sport and
hobbies.
However, some of the busiest people I know are
those that still manage to make time to contribute
as a volunteer. Many volunteers report that they
gain a huge amount from their volunteering, such
as learning new skills, meeting new people and
forming life-long friendships. They also gain a
sense of pride and satisfaction that they are doing
something meaningful and making a real difference
in their community.
So in keeping with the theme of this week, I would
like to thank all of Selwyn’s volunteers for the many
ways in which you make our community a better
place. If you are not a volunteer already, please thank
someone who is for making time to contribute to
our community, and consider whether you could
make time to volunteer yourself.
WINNERS: The Leeston Celtics of Leeston Consolidated School had their first
win this week beating Ladbrooks B 27-0 in basketball. From left to right – Lily

CTV celebrates 25 years
It may seem hard
to believe but
Christchurch-based
television station, CTV,
celebrated a milestone
last week. CTV News
presenter Jared
McCulloch reflects on
the channel’s history
CTV CELEBRATED 25 years of
broadcasting last week, making
the station the longest-running
regional broadcaster.
The first broadcast was beamed
from TVNZ’s former Gloucester St
studios right here in Christchurch.
National broadcasting operations
were beginning to move north,
leaving an empty studio ready for
something new – something more.
A quick history lesson: For
nearly 30 years, viewers around
the country had two choices when
it came to television.
TV One, launching in 1960
as four channels in four major
centres, run by the public-broadcasting
service of NZBC (which
became TVNZ in 1980) and later
South Pacific Television (becoming
TV2, in 1980) 15 years after
the launch of the first channel.
By 1985, applications for a third
television network were opened.
TV3 winning the warrant in 1987
– on-air by 1989, it was the first
privately-owned, free-to-air TV
station in New Zealand.
And two years later, along comes
little ol’ Canterbury Television.
Sue Wells, sitting at a newlybuilt
news studio, welcomed viewers
across the region to tune into
the new and exciting venture, with
a clear focus of being local.
Former CTV newsreader and
one of the original presenters from
1991 until 1995, Grant Mangin
took hold of CTV programme
First Report.
Some of the faces from the
launch have made their way up the
chain to national and international
levels. Jendy Harper, once showing
us Christchurch’s major snow
dump in 1992 on CTV, has gone
onto to present stories for Campbell
Live.
Others include John Gillespie,
once showing us CTV’s move from
one-studio to another in a television
item, is now the head of news
and current affairs at TVNZ.
Plus Jim Hopkins, Rob Cope-
Williams, David Di Somma,
Raewyn Rasch, Bernadine Oliver-
Kerby and Maryanne Jackson
– who still works at CTV, just to
name a few.
Some of the first guests included
MP for Christchurch Central
Lianne Dalziel, appearing on
current affairs show George
Balani, and mayor at the time,
Vicki Buck.
Now half a decade on a lot has
changed – new faces, new premises,
television switched to digital,
the channel began streaming online
24/7 and the news broadcasts
live every weeknight on Plains FM
96.9.
At one stage, CTV had competition
in the local television
market, with CHTV and NowTV.

Long story short, they eventually
merged into one.
Of course, the most significant
event was a tragic one, when 16
colleagues lost their lives when the
CTV building collapsed during
the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
Those fantastic people will never
be forgotten.
Although CTV has changed
hands over the years, it is now part
of Star Media, where it continues
to thrive.
Here’s to all of past and present
staff who made CTV what it is
today, through the thick and thin.
Happy 25th anniversary

adventure continue.

ALBERT BRANTLEY has a
good handshake.
It’s the same handshake he
used when meeting former
United States president Jimmy
Carter, when negotiating tricky
trade deals close to Taliban
frontlines – and now – as he sets
out to do his part in restoring
Christchurch to its former glory.
It is also the first thing I notice
when he ushers me into his
Worcester Boulevard office, eight
storeys up with floor-to-ceiling
views of the Avon River and
Cathedral beyond.
He motions at the busy cityscape:
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it? I
can see it all happening,” he says.
The Canadian speaks with a
gentle accent – one that has stuck
with him through decades lived
in New Zealand and overseas.
He has been to a lot of places,
and he has got a lot of stories to
tell.
He doesn’t tell them much.
This is the first time he has
talked publicly since he was appointed
to the Otakaro role in
April. He usually prefers to get
the work done than talk about it,
he tells me.
We both take our seats, and
Mr Brantley starts his story from
the beginning.
“I was born in Canada, and me
and my older sister were brought
up by our grandmother there.
She [my grandmother] knew
FUTURE PRESIDENT: Jimmy Carter, then the Governor of Georgia, and Albert Brantley at the opening of the ground sloth
display at the University of Georgia Science LIbrary in 1973. (Right): Brantley with wife, Beverley, and daughter Sarah
(aged around 3) in the Empty Quarter, Saudi Arabia.
she wouldn’t always be there for
us, so she was pretty big on selfreliance.”
While still in high school,
Mr Brantley took on a job at a
textile manufacturer to help pay
the bills. This was no ordinary
after-school job – Mr Brantley
would work an eight-hour shift
starting at midnight every night,
then pull off an entire school day
after that.
It was the hard slog that made
him aim high in his career, he
explains.
“I just realised I wanted
something better, so I earned a
scholarship to study geology and
engineering.”
A young Mr Brantley moved
out of home and headed to Georgia
to take up the scholarship – a
move that would shape the rest
of his life.
He was at graduate school
when he got an interesting call.
The state of Georgia was building
a highway, and roadworkers had
unearthed what they thought
was a Spanish cannonball.
Mr Brantley was asked to
investigate, he explains: “What
it actually was, was a hip bone
of a giant ground sloth [a
prehistoric elephant-sized sloth].
It was one of the biggest ever
found.”
Embedded in the ground
underneath the planned
motorway were not one, but
three prehistoric sloth skeletons.
Mr Brantley was tasked with
excavating them (“it would pay
for the rest of my studies,” he
explains) and that’s when the
then-future president Jimmy
Carter stepped in.
“He was the governor of Georgia
at the time, and he said if I
could unearth all three skeletons,
he would pay to get one mounted
at the museum, and he would be
there at the opening,” he says.
So unearth all three Mr Brantley
did, and true to his word, Mr
Carter was at the opening.
The two kept in touch, and to
this day Mr Brantley catches up
with the now-former president
“every now and then.”

“A local team for local people”

SELWYN TIMES Tuesday June 21 2016 17
“Yes, I’ve met with him multiple
times over many years, but I’m
not claiming friendship with
the ex-president, no no. Jimmy
and I come from very similar
backgrounds and have similar
values, we share many of the same
beliefs,” he explains humbly.
The strong morals and ethics his
grandmother taught have stuck
with Mr Brantley and served him
well in business, he says.
“In all my years of business I’ve
done nothing I’ve been ashamed
of.”
After graduate school, he took
a job at a mine working out of
northern Canada. But eight years
of working on the Arctic ice was
“quite enough” he says, with a
small shiver at the thought.
“To be perfectly honest, I was
tired to death of freezing at 60
degrees below zero.”
That’s when he got offered a job
in Perth, Western Australia. He
moved there, and never lived in
Canada again, he said.
“I’ve been a bit of a professional
gypsy ever since.”
He first came to New Zealand
in the late 1980s – serving for
four years as the chief executive
of L&M Mining. During that
time he met his future wife,
Beverley, in Christchurch. They
married soon after, and she travelled
the world with him - always
following the next job.
There’s not a lot of jobs calling
for Mr Brantley’s unique skill set.
He has worked at multi-billion
dollar desalination plants in the
Middle East and Pakistan, where
he was given huge responsibility
to bring together teams and ensure
whole countries had a fresh
water source.
Working across different cultures
and countries has given Mr
Brantley a gentle, but firm leadership
style. He was once described
as “an iron fist in a velvet glove.”
“I know a thousand ways of
saying ‘no’ without offending
anyone. I’ve realised by working
with people that there are many

different views of the world and
they’re not necessarily ‘right’ or
‘wrong’ but you’ve got to stick to
what you believe,” he says.
He has worked in India, South
America and the unsettled
Philippines – under the Marcos
regime at the time.
His growing family was always
in tow. Erin (now 37), was born
in Guatemala, Ryan (now 33),
was born in the Philippines and
Sarah (now 15), was born in Guatemala.
I ask him if he considered
it dangerous. He shrugs.
“When I was working for big
American companies, they got
me to do a CIA defensive driving
course because they were worried
about possible kidnapping risk.”
A security detail was assigned
to Mr Brantley and his family in
many places.
He helped evacuate ex-pat
American families from Saudi
Arabia in danger zones just after
the September 11 terror attacks.
In Pakistan he managed a
power plant close to Taliban
front lines, in the Philippines
he operated under the Marcos
regime – considered one of the
worst dictatorships in its history.
He wasn’t in direct danger – “just
in danger of being caught in
crossfire,” he explains calmly.
But while he travelled all
around the world, Christchurch
always had the pull of home.
“New Zealand for me is like
a small Canada. Christchurch
has the flavour and appeal of a
country-roots kind of city which
is trying to grow up a little, it has
all the advantages of an urban
culture but it doesn’t overpower
the natural landscape.”

•From page 17
In 1994 he moved back to New
Zealand – and this time, it was
permanent.
First he led OceanaGold, then
he was chief executive of Genesis
Energy in Auckland. His family
live in a big country home in
Kaiapoi, and he commuted every
week for work.
It was hard being away from his
family, he says. He has two grown
children living in Canada, four
grandchildren and a 15-year-old
daughter at St Margaret’s College:
“And for my sins, I’m on the
school board,” he laughs.
In the immediate aftermath
of the quakes, he mobilised
resources to keep power on in the
region.
For the next five years, he kept
a keen eye on the recovery, knowing
full well he had a skill set
which would be “very useful” for
the rebuild when the time came.
HORROR:
Albert
Brantley
helped
evacuate
ex-pat
American
families
from Saudi
Arabia
after the
September
11 terror
attacks.
When the Government started
planning Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Authority’s disestablishment
last year, Mr Brantley
did his research and planned his
next move.
“I looked at the structural work
that still needs to be done, and settled
pretty quickly that Otakaro
would be the place I could do the
most good. Since my appointment
I’ve had conversations with Ross
Butler [Otakaro chairman] and
he’s described trying to attract
me to the position. I remember
it more as me trying to convince
him I really wanted this job.”
Mr Brantley’s appointment
was announced in December last
year, and he officially started in
the role on May 2. Well before
his start date, he was already
assembling the team he deemed
fit to take on a large chunk of the
city’s recovery.
While he’s still in the set-up
stage, he tells me there are some
“big announcements” coming
soon.
Mr Brantley needs to restore
confidence in the rebuild. It won’t
be easy.
City leaders are sceptical about
what Otakaro will achieve, after
CERA’s ambitious post-quake
multi-million dollar city plans
have been largely unrealised as
timelines are pushed back and
budgets cut.
The Convention Centre has
faced delay after delay, causing
a hold-up in central city
development. The Metro Sports
Facility and sports stadium may
not be delivered for many years
yet. Instability in anchor project
timelines has been blamed for a
lack of confidence in the rebuild.
I ask Mr Brantley to describe
his vision for the city. He clasps
his hands, businesslike.
“Certainly Otakaro’s purpose
is driven by the delivery of
anchor projects, then there’s also
the management of land as the
Crown is a substantial landowner
of the central city and red zone.
I’ve used my geology training to
work backwards – I’ve looked at
what the city could look like in 10
years’ time and worked off that.
It’s really important that we drive
the vision for the city.”
There were rumours the
67-year-old was set to retire after
Genesis Energy.
I ask Mr Brantley if that was
true. He immediately shakes his
head.
“No, no, no. I was not going
to retire, I was always going to
look for something new. It just

of what the

Ltd is charged with
delivering.
depended on what – and when
this opportunity came along
it was just too good to pass
up.”
While many his age are enjoying
a more leisurely lifestyle, Mr
Brantley continues to get up at
around 3.30 every morning to
start work.
Its something he has done all
his life – waking up very early
without an alarm clock, he says.
He is “notorious” amongst his
employees for early-morning
emails.
Mr Brantley plans to stay at
the helm of Otakaro for “at
least” five years, and see the next
phase of the rebuild out, he tells
me.
“I’ve got a job to do. I’m fit, I’m
healthy and I challenge all the
younger guys to keep up.”

LINCOLN has successfully
defended the Murray
Cooper Shield once again,
after they beat Waihora at
the weekend.
Waihora had one of their
best chances to win the
shield on Saturday, but lost
22-17, meaning Lincoln
continues their 11-yearrun.
This came after controversy
surrounded last
week’s defence of the
shield.
Burnham/Dunsandell/
Irwell defeated Lincoln in a
7th/8th place play-off game
in the combined country
competition.
BDI claimed the shield
should have been theirs
after winning the game.
However, the Ellesmere
Sub Union decided the
match wasn’t a round-robin
game, meaning Lincoln
retained the shield.
Waihora came into Saturday’s
game on the back
of winning the combined
country final against
Southbridge a week earlier.
Lincoln’s desire to hold
onto the Murray Cooper
Shield, Ellesmere rugby’s
equivalent of the Ranfurly
Shield, proved too strong.
“It was massive for us.
We knew they were coming
for it but we also knew they
could be vulnerable after
the previous week’s big final,
it’s always hard to back
up like that,” said Lincoln
coach Daryl Petheram.
He said the key to his
side’s success can be put
down to the hard work
done by the loose forward
trio of Scott Edmonds,
Mike Werahiko and Sam
Kendall.
“They got through a big
workload and continued to
put in big hits all day.”
Lincoln also had the
threat of Waihora full-back
Mark Maitland to deal
with.
Maitland has been one of
Ellesmere rugby’s stand-out
performers in recent years.
Last week, Maitland was
the only country rugby
player to be named in
Canterbury’s initial NPC
training squad.
“He’s a great player. As
an opposition coach, you
get nervous every time he
has the ball in his hands,”
said Petheram.
Lincoln’s final defence of
the Murray Cooper Shield
will be against Prebbleton
on July 2.
THE RUN CONTINUES: Lincoln beat Waihora 22-17
to hold onto the Murray Cooper Shield. ​

Lincoln defended the Murray Cooper Shield against Waihora at the
weekend, making it 11 years of successful defences in the Luisetti
Seeds Ellesmere Division 1 competition. The hard-fought 22-17 victory
on Saturday keeps Lincoln in a play-off position. The game between
the two sides is considered the biggest derby in the competition.
Meanwhile, Waihora and Lincoln’s under-7 ripper rugby teams played

Lincoln
Town Centre Plan
A vision for Lincoln
A new town centre plan for Lincoln will help ensure that as Lincoln
grows, the town centre remains a vibrant, prosperous space for
community and business activity.
The Lincoln Town Centre Plan, which provides a framework to guide the future development of the
town centre, was adopted by the Council in May following community consultation in late 2015.
The plan has been designed around five key themes:
· Promoting ‘active commercial frontage’, with
buildings placed to the edge of the footpath and
glass doors and windows facing the street. This
design helps to create visual interest and supports a
lively street scene for residents and visitors.
· Providing and managing car parking in Lincoln
Dedicated cycleways and parking provision
· Designing streets that are suited to their purpose
· Ensuring the town centre design provides for safe
cycling and walking connections, while allowing
traffic to move through the township
· Enhancing public spaces and squares with attractive
landscaping for markets, events and relaxation
One of the key concepts in the plan is to re-allocate the space on Gerald Street to create an attractive, safe public
space for all road users. This includes the development of cycleways, which was identified as the community’s
number one priority during consultation. Gerald Street is currently designed mainly as a through-route for traffic,
and cyclists on Gerald Street currently don’t have enough room.
The plan will be implemented in stages. In order to create space for cycleways, 75 existing car parks will be
relocated from Gerald Street. This will occur over time, and only as alternative parking areas nearby come into
operation. Existing angle parks outside shops in the town centre will remain. As car parks are relocated, new cycle
lanes will be created, linking to the University, the Rail Trail, Springston and Rolleston. Lower speed limits and new
pedestrian islands on Gerald Street opposite New World and the library are also planned. Intersection upgrades
and traffic lights will be considered on Gerald Street when vehicle numbers reach certain levels.
The Council plans to reconfigure mostly unmarked on-street parking spaces in the town centre, which currently
have capacity for 121 vehicles, to provide parking for 143 vehicles. These car parks will be marked and
established on Lyttelton Street, Maurice Street and West Belt (north and south) – connecting streets to Gerald
Street. In addition to this a new off-street communal car park is planned with capacity for 40 vehicles near the
town centre. Time restrictions will apply to parking spaces in the town centre. The Council also recently developed
a new 60 space car park at Lincoln Library which is situated centrally on Gerald Street. Footpaths on Gerald Street
will also be widened, with landscaping work planned and power lines to be placed underground.
Changes to the plan following consultation
As a result of submissions these changes have been made to the plan from the draft version:
· The development of cycle lanes on Gerald Street has been brought forward with the lanes planned to be
developed in the Retail Core East Precinct in the next five years and in the other two precincts later
· The location for a new skate facility has been identified as Lincoln Event Centre
· The Council plans to discuss with Environment Canterbury whether a park and ride facility is needed.
See comments above for information on planned parking changes.
· The wayfinder project, to establish stations signposting points of interest to tell people about Lincoln’s
features and history, could become a community project.
Project Gerald Street
Relocating some parking behind shops and having shop windows of glass facing the street will provide an
interesting street scene for pedestrians. A separate, safe cycleway lane will be on both sides of the street. The
recently developed Lincoln lawn, Meyerberg Square and Lincoln Library provide public spaces for markets,
events and relaxation and help attract people into the town centre.
An impression of how Gerald Street could look (near the library and square) once developed is below.

This is Lincoln’s main
shopping precinct and
town centre with shops,
community facilities and
spaces contributing to a

hub. These changes are
planned to occur from
2021 onwards.
1. Active frontage for
new buildings
2. Angle parking on south
side of Gerald Street
3. Widened pedestrian
plaza along shop fronts
with different pavings,
and landscaping
4. Relocate car park and
develop new shops to
define entrance into town
5. Separate cycle lanes
provide a safe cycling
route through the
town centre
6. Retained bus stop
7. Off-street pedestrian
routes link Gerald Street
to car parking
8. Intersection upgrade
with traffic signals
when required.

This zone covers Gerald
Street between the edge

that over time, activities
in the area will shift from
residential to business.
Separated cycle lanes
are planned to continue
down Gerald Street. New
commercial buildings would
also have ‘active frontage’
as in the East Precinct.
A safe cyclist/pedestrian
crossing is planned for the

Leeston Skatepark
extension completed
An extension to Leeston skate bowl has now opened, doubling the size of the skate area.
The skate park was completed in late 2012 and features a four foot-deep skate bowl.
The new extension includes a large flat concrete skating area suitable for all skate levels, and new
rails and ramps have been added. Additional landscaping around the extension area has also
been completed. Grass has also been sown to grow over winter, and people are asked to stay off
fenced off areas to allow the grass to establish. The skate extension was completed by Hunter
Civil Ltd with landscaping by Greenlinc.
“The skate extension area provides an area which is suitable for younger children on skateboards
or scooters to use as it has a flat surface and lower ramps, but it can also be used by more
advanced skaters,” says Dave Greig, Selwyn District Council Landscape Architect.
An extension to the skate area at Westview Park in Darfield is being undertaken by the Council
currently, with the work expected to be complete this winter.
Celebrate Matariki
During June Selwyn residents are invited to join in celebrations for
Matariki – the Māori New Year.
On Saturday 25 June a free event is planned featuring renowned
artist Marcus Winter (pictured) who will tell the Māori story of
creation through sand pictures. Marcus has performed at locations
such as Te Papa and the Auckland Art Museum. Videos and photos
of Marcus’ amazing work are available at www.marcuswinter.co.nz.
The celebration will also include Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki performing a
mihi whakatau (welcome), and kapa haka performances by local
high schools in collaboration with the Te Taumutu Rūnanga. The
event is funded by the Selwyn District Council and will take place
at Lincoln University from 2.30-5.30pm. The afternoon is open to
all and you don’t need to be familiar with Māori protocol to attend.
Registration is essential to attend – to register please visit

portion of vehicle licensing fees will reduce for most vehicles.
If you decide to renew your car licence at an office you can do this at the AA office at the Council’s
Headquarters in Rolleston (open Monday-Fridays 8.30am-5pm) or at a post shop.
In June, AA agents can process vehicle licence applications that apply from 1 July at new reduced
fee levels.
The AA branch at the Council’s Rolleston Headquarters offers a range of other services in addition to
vehicle registration. Services include processing driver licence registration applications, driver theory
tests and booking driver practical tests, passport photos, and international driver permits. For driver
licensing queries phone 0800 822 422 and for vehicle registration queries phone 0800 108 809.
To avoid queues you can licence your vehicle online at www.nzta.govt.nz/online. It is slightly cheaper
to licence your vehicle online than at an agent but you need to allow time for your new licence to be
posted to you.

June
This year, National Volunteer Week will be celebrated between Sunday 19 and
Saturday 25 June 2016. Events will be held to recognise and celebrate the vital
contribution of New Zealand’s approximately 1.2 million volunteers to social
development, the economy and the environment.
This year, National Volunteer Week focuses on time through the following two sayings:
· Make time - Whai whā
· Thanks for making time - Kia ora mō tāu whai whā
Through this campaign we hope volunteers will be recognised for making time for their
communities.
Here are some of the interesting and varied volunteering opportunities available in Selwyn.

Can Inspire
Charitable
Trust
The Can Inspire Charitable Trust delivers creative
therapies for people suffering illness, trauma and

(CanBead for jewellery making and CanTackle for
fly fishing). CanInspire was founded in Ashburton
by local woman Sarah Clifford while undergoing
radiation treatment for cancer in 2010. Sarah’s friend
gave her a jewellery making kit, which provided
distraction and a sense of purpose - Sarah made
a necklace for every day of her treatment, and
CanBead was formed.
CanInspire works alongside The Cancer Society,
Daffodil House, Cancer Support Groups, Hospice,
Eating Disorder Clinics, hospitals and many
more. We run workshops both locally in mid-
Canterbury and in Christchurch as well as in the
North Island. We are based at Community House
(Mid Canterbury) and this new location enables us
to deliver our services more frequently and more
effectively throughout the whole of New Zealand.
Can Inspire is a volunteer-based organisation and
we have volunteers working in every aspect of the
organisation, from sewing the bead bags that we
give to each participant at a workshop, breaking,
cleaning and organising beads to be transferred
into the kits, fundraising and events, workshop
volunteers and much more.
If you would like to donate any pre-loved or
unwanted jewellery you can either drop it in or mail
it to Community House (Mid Canterbury), 44 Cass
Street, Ashburton, 7700. If you would like to join our
volunteers or think you could help in any way please
call Louise Duke on 027 900 6523 or email:louise@

Foreign student
boom worth $1b
ONE OF Canterbury’s most
valuable economic earners –
international education – is set to
double, bringing close to a billion
dollars to the region.
Last year, almost 10,000 international
students came to study
in Christchurch, and by 2025 that
figure is set to increase to 25,000,
according to the Canterbury International
Education Destination
2025 Strategy.
International education is Canterbury’s
fifth largest export earner,
and the change will be positive
for the economy,
Christchurch Educated
regional co-ordinator
Bree Loverich
(left) said.
“This is going to
increase the economic
value to $1 billion a year. But there
are so many other benefits.”
Ms Loverich said other benefits
included flow-on effect to the tourism,
accommodation, telecommunication
and entertainment industries, as well as a
benefit for Kiwi students.
“They also provide an incredible value to
the region in terms of cultural and social
benefits with the diversity that they bring.”
She said Christchurch students can
greatly benefit from the diversity,
especially those that do not have the
opportunity to travel overseas in their
school years.
“In a global world and the 21st-century,
this is absolutely essential for their future.”
Ara nurses remain in demand
ExcEllEnt EmploymEnt prospects
and a variety of career options continues
to attract talented students to the world of
nursing.
At Ara Institute of canterbury (formerly
cpIt), the institute’s nursing programme
is highly-regarded. In fact, 90% of nursing
graduates find employment after graduation
– that’s new Zealand’s highest nursing
graduate employment rate. Ara prides itself
on consistently reaching the top place.
So what makes Ara nursing graduates so
employable?
years of experience in delivering nursing
training, along with great facilities and
expert tutors, is the first key to success.
Secondly, the institute works closely with
the health sector to ensure that the training
aligns with what is needed on the ground
in the region’s hospital wards, community
health centres and aged care facilities. Ara
continues to develop innovative work-based
training that help prepare graduate nurses
for the real world of work.
Executive Director of nursing at
canterbury District Health Board (cDHB)
mary Gordon says the sector is closely
involved with nursing training at Ara
providing clinical placements for nursing
students, employing new graduate nurses
across the canterbury health system,
supporting nurses to undertake graduate
and post graduate education. nurses within
the canterbury health system are very
committed to supporting the training and
development of Ara nursing students. “These
students are our future nursing workforce.
They will be our future nursing educators
and leaders who will be shaping the health
system for the future.”
Head of nursing at Ara, cathy Andrew,
says nursing training is aligned to industry
conditions and the demands of modern
nursing. “We have excellent relationships
with clinical agencies and work closely
together to provide learning experiences
that are positive for students. We are seen as
national leaders in innovative clinical models
of learning and regularly receive feedback
that our graduates are actively recruited by
employers throughout new Zealand.”
march 2016 graduates of the Ara Bachelor
of nursing programme achieved a 90.3%
employment rate. They are out there working
in the sector in a variety of roles across the
spectrum of nursing including hospital
wards, mental health, community health,
aged care and emergency units.

Pak choi – the hero crop
Rachel Vogan gets
excited about one of
the super-hero crops
for this time of year
WITH STRONG Asian connections,
Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis is a bit
of a mouthful, but simply put, it is
part of the cabbage family.
Pak choi – known also as bak
choy – is a hero crop that requires
only a small patch of fertile earth
to flourish and is happy in cooler
temperatures, hence this vegetable is
a worthy candidate for gardeners all
over the country to grow.
This robust and rather durable
vegetable tastes even better than it
looks.
The lush, almost soft-looking green
leaves are as tough as old boots.
The contrasting juicy white midrib
is sweet and packed with flavour.
Pak choi is a good source of around
20 nutrients, including the highly
sought after omega-3s, as well as the
antioxidant mineral zinc.
Pak choi is versatile in the kitchen,
too. Some enjoy it added to smoothies
and energy drinks as it’s a good source
of both vitamins A and C.
Try it raw, shredded into rice paper
rolls with a piquant dipping sauce
laced with soy, ginger and sesame.
•Turn to page 32
TASTY: Pak choi or bak
choy grows happily in
cooler temperatures.
Pak choi doesn’t need a
lot of root room, making
it a great option for
planters.
For those keen on
colour contrast, try
a red variety such as
‘Red Choi’.
LET’S GET
GardEninG
SuccuLEnT
If strawberries are on your list of favourite fruits, then you need to start thinking
about planting soon so you can enjoy their sensational taste come the summer.
While planting them now seems a bit silly, research shows that our crisp winter
can help to produce a better crop in the summer. Here are some key things to
consider when planting strawberries.
Location: Choose a sunny spot to plant. Strawberries will do great in pots,
containers, barrels and garden patches, just choose somewhere they will get
sun.
Growing Mix: For pots, containers and barrels our Patio Plus is an excellent
choice. It provides all the essential nutrients for the plant, and is designed
specifically for planting in pots and containers. You can also use Tomato Mix
as strawberries and tomatoes have very similar nutritional requirements. Your
choice of mix plays a big part in how your crops will turn out – so choose wisely!
For garden beds, make sure they are full of Organic Compost and quality soil.
Fertilise: Your plants will need a regular feed during their optimal growing times
of spring and summer. We have a strawberry fertiliser that is excellent for this.
Application rates are written on the packaging, making it nice and easy for you.
Pest Control: As the plant begins to fruit, you will want to put some form of
protection over the plants to stop the birds getting the berries. Use a mesh or
wire cover so they still get air, water and sunlight.

The hero vegetable
•From page 31
Stir-fry with other Asian greens or lightly
sautéed in butter on its own, and few will
push this sweet and juicy vegetable to the
side of the plate.
Grilled on the barbecue it complements
meat dishes and, with a rather robust
texture, it doesn’t disintegrate on the
hot plate like other leafy greens, such as
spinach and silver beet.
Growing tips
If you want something for a pot or a tub,
this has to be at the top of the list. Pak
choi has a very shallow root system, which
makes it ideal for planting under other
plants.
Three plants can easily grow in a small pot.
If you jam a few more in, harvest the smaller
ones when they are a little smaller and leave
the rest to fatten up to be chunky monkeys.
In the garden, blend in rich compost
or a few handfuls of sheep pellets before
planting. The more organic matter you get
into the soil, the faster the crop will grow. If
you have plenty of room, plant them troweldistance
apart. Full sun will give you the best
results, although they do cope with a little
shade. Their main requirement is watering at
least twice a week.
Seeds germinate within a week or so and
online catalogues have a great range. Seed
can be sown directly into the ground or into
trays; they quickly germinate if soil is moist,
but not boggy.
Plant six to 10 plants once a month, or more
if you have plenty of mouths to feed. Slug and
Slugs, snails and caterpillars love this
juicy green too, so take precautionary
action.
snails like to hunt them down, so lay plenty of
bait to keep them away. To harvest use a sharp
knife and cut off just above soil level, cook
or use as soon as possible. You can leave the
stem and root in the ground, more shoots will
appear and these are edible, too. They won’t
get as big as the initial plant, but they do taste
pretty similar.
Delicious stir-fried, steamed by themselves
or added to other vegetables or meat, stalks
are best picked immediately after flowering
starts. Leave three or four young leaves on
the plant and successive stalks will then grow
from the main stalk.
Time to plant trees
JUNE BRINGS the start
of rain and cold weather,
but there is still plenty
to do in the garden such
as pruning and planting
trees.
Here are some top
tasks to keep you busy
and warm.
Now is the time to
start planting any pip
and stone fruit trees.
New young trees are
now available in garden
centres; ensure you
select healthy looking
specimens. Consider
your planting areas carefully,
making sure your
young tree has full
exposure to the sun and
is sheltered from strong
prevailing winds.
For existing pip and
stone fruit trees, you can
now begin pruning. Try
to keep the tree height
under three metres to
allow for easier harvesting
and netting of
trees where birds are a
problem.
June is also a safe time
to plant new ornamental
trees and shrubs. Planting
technique is important
to allow new plants
to thrive in both climatic
extremes for example
wet winters and hot dry
summers. Also incorporate
plenty of compost
into the soil when
planting new specimens.
Spread compost around
existing trees and shrubs
to give them a boost.
Continue to keep sowing
and planting winter
veges such as broccoli,
cabbage cauliflower,
peas and spinach to
ensure a continuous
supply.
Protect empty garden
beds by sowing green
manure crops for example
lupins. They protect
the top soil from wind
and water erosion and
add organic matter back
to the soil when dug in.
SELWYN TIMES
Wait till they are about
15-20cm high then chop
up with a spade as you
dig them back into the
soil.
Prune roses when all
the leaves have fallen
and apply a winter clean
up spray of copper
oxychloride or lime
sulphur after pruning.
Remove and destroy
any diseased wood after
pruning. Replace any
rose specimens that
have not performed
adequately or were heavily
infected with black
spot or rust during the
growing season. Choose
new varieties from catalogues
or visit your local
gardening centre.
June is an excellent
time to plan new
gardens in your property
in preparation for
spring planting. It is a
good idea to monitor
future garden areas for
cold winds and excessive
moisture, as both
conditions will influence
what you can plant in
that area.
Plant new shelter belts
and or hedges where
they are required.

EXPERT GASFITTERS ARE
AVAILABLE IN SELWYN
The insTallaTion of central heating,
log fires and heat pumps must be carried
out by a certified specialist, especially when
it is a gas system.
a certified plumber and gasfitter is fully
trained so aware of the relevant building
codes and how to install heating systems
correctly, avoiding future operational
problems with the unit.
“it takes a long time to become a qualified
gasfitter,” explains Glyn Gerrand owner
of selwyn Gasfitters, a division of selwyn
Property Force.
Glyn and his team are all fully qualified
and gas experts. They design, supply, install,
service and repair gas systems, specialising
in central heating, log fires, heat pumps,
and solar systems as well as gas hot water
conversions, gas hob and free standing
gas cookers, gas fires, and gas heaters and
bayonets.
selwyn Gasfitters are also the local Bosch
service agents for both commercial and
residential gas appliances.
“every gas appliance should be serviced
annually,” advises Glyn. “a lack of servicing
can impact on the manufacturer’s warranty.
Glyn explains that a dirt leg is fitted
on the regulator to take the oil out of the
gas. if it fills up with oil, the pipes can get
clogged and cause the system to become
problematic. if the system is not cleaned out
annually, this build up could lead to costly
repairs.
selwyn Gasfitters are able to take on
any job and while mainly working in
the residential area that includes home
renovations and new builds, they also carry
out commercial work and undertake larger
projects both locally and across the city.
Glyn is a born and bred selwyn local
though he did spend 10 years’ working in
plumbing around the world, adding to his
knowledge and skills which he passes on
when training apprentices. Combined, the
team have more than 40 years’ experience as
Certifying Gasfitters.
They are all rural guys who understand
the rural side of selwyn as well as its towns.
“We won’t be turned away if there’s an
electric gate across the driveway, or the
farm dogs greet our vehicle,” says Glyn.
“We’re as much at home on the farm as in
the suburbs.”

A WARM AND BRIGHT
WINTER
WiTh The darker nights, it is a good time
to consider the efficiency of lighting in your
home and consider the value in upgrading
to the latest form of illumination.
leD lighting is an extremely efficient
form of lighting due to it using around 85%
less power than a conventional light while
producing a much nicer light.
“Whether building a new house,
renovating or just upgrading one or more
lights around the home, leD lights are
the way to go,” says Greg horton from a
electrical.
“With existing homes, it’s not always
affordable to change all lights to leD at
the same time so many of our customers
are just upgrading their main lights, then
replacing the balance of lights in their home
over time. This makes the transition more
affordable and we can offer some good
deals on leD lighting to help this process.”
a electrical install complete replacement
leD light fittings. as these are sealed, there
are no gaps through which heat can be lost
or dust can get into the home and pink
batts can be placed right over the top of
these.
“There are now some very efficient leD
outdoor lights available on the market too
which match traditional lighting prices
and we can also supply and fit these for
customers”, adds Greg.
he is also a big fan of the Mitsubishi
hypercore heat Pump, available in four and
six kilowatt sizes. The six kilowatt hypercore
will deliver six kilowatts of heat even at
minus five degrees. This is in contrast to
some other heat pumps that start dropping
down below four kilowatts when it is really
cold outside.
heating the bathroom also makes life
a little more pleasant when it is cold.
Traditionally, some bathroom heaters
have been unreliable in their operation
however, a electrical have found a reliable
bathroom wall heater that they are happy
to put their name to, and which has a ten
year guarantee.
a electrical are electrical specialists
with a great team. They are fans of new
builds and will competently deliver the

BuSINESS MuST coMPLY
with electrical standards
eleCTRiCal (saFeTY) ReGUlaTions
came into effect in 2010 requiring that
all portable electrical equipment used in
businesses is tested and tagged to state that
it meets the as/nZs 3760 standard.
While this is another compliance cost for
businesses, the aim of these regulations is
health and safety.
Certifying portable electrical appliances
as safe is now a legal requirement, with it
depending on the type of equipment as to
how often it must be tested. For example,
some businesses need only test every two
years and others are on a three, six or twelve
month rotation while some static items are
tested every sixty months.
These regulations affect a wide range of
businesses including those in the hospitality
industry where small appliances such as hair
dryers, toasters and electric jugs are placed
in rooms for customer use. Customers
should look for the certification tag on these
appliances so they know they are safe to use.
“The law is quite clear. Business owners
and operators must be aware of the safety
standards that relate to the equipment they
use,” explains Marcus Clark from Test Tech
ltd. “it’s about being self-aware, informed
and proactive rather than waiting for
an osh inspector’s visit or worse still, a
workplace accident to occur.”
“Knowing this is the law, then waiting for
an osh visit and a person being seriously
harmed in the meantime, is likely to put
a business under the spotlight with the
potential for the maximum penalty and
more regular osh inspector visits until
any problem is sorted to satisfaction,” says
Marcus.
it concerns Marcus that some businesses
are holding off, not expecting an osh visit,
then being faced with a rush to have their
appliances checked and certified, when osh
sets a deadline by which all equipment is
to be tagged. he says that this could lead to
higher costs especially if their equipment
is found to be unsafe. it also has the
potential to affect the business’ health and
safety record leading to more regular osh
inspections.
“Uncertified appliances will be logged
with a very short time allowed to have these
tested and a second visit likely from an
osh inspector to check the equipment is
certified. if a business has previously had a
health and safety incident or not met legal
requirements then visits may be sooner,”
adds Marcus who has noted that all the
businesses in some parts of the city have
already been visited.
Marcus is able to advise business owners
and managers on their legal requirements
relating to appliances, electrical equipment
and machinery used at their premises. he
understands that it is an expense so has in
place a pricing strategy that helps businesses
keep costs at a minimum.
“This is a legislative requirement and
part of being safe,” explains Marcus. “When
you look at the whole picture, it is better to
have a safe business environment than see
someone harmed.”

Garden planning
and preparation
over winter
it might be cooler outside but
there is still plenty to do to get
the garden into shape for
spring and planning ahead will
certainly pay dividends later.
WinTeR is also a good time to move
trees. “Trees are dormant in winter so
there’s less chance of disturbing them
when they are to be transplanted, and
if deciduous having less weight in the
tree makes for an easier relocation to
their new position,” explains landscape
designer sharon Crofts who adds that most
deciduous trees will transplant if their
root system is intact and they are within a
certain age and size.
This is also an ideal time to re-locate
plants or plant a new area. With many
nurseries getting their fresh new stocks
of trees in and some stocking bare-rooted
trees during winter, savings can be made
as the new season’s stock will be sitting in
sawdust yet to be bagged up so will likely
be more economically priced making it a
good option for those wanting to purchase
a good number of trees.
With over 25 years’ experience in the
horticultural and landscape industry,
sharon knows where to source suitable
plant stock and can advise on the best
position for plants.
“Different tree and shrub species will
reach different heights so selecting the
right place for each plant will maximise
their effect,” explains sharon who
encourages people to plan and book
contractors well ahead, as demand for
landscape work increases especially over
spring and leading up to Christmas.
some construction may also be
easier during the colder months when
tradespeople can be more available and it
may offer the opportunity for a good price
with some operators more focussed on
keeping their workers busy when work is
quieter.
“Plan ahead and have the landscape plan
drawn up now. Quotes can then be sourced
and work booked early, ready to begin
at the end of winter,” suggests sharon.
“This will ensure that the landscaping is
completed on time.”
This is especially important where a
new sub-division’s covenants require
completion of landscaping by a certain
date. a landscape plan may also be
required as part of the concept process
before building commences, linked to the
initial architectural stages of drawing up
the house plans.
sharon Crofts landscape Design will
draw up a design concept and provide a
comprehensive planting plan, where the
numbers and types of plants is itemised
along with where to locate these. a client
can then plant out within their own
timeframe.
sharon spends time talking with her
clients to hear their ideas while still
projecting new ideas and suggestions
for their property, so the final design has
flair yet functionality. By merging the
two together, the ultimate design is one
her clients will love and enjoy, perhaps
explaining why so many of sharon’s clients
are delighted with her work.
For more information, you can call
sharon on 329 6229 or 0274 311 558,

Fortuner boosts Toyota’s SUV range
• By Ross Kiddie
THERE’S NO shortage of sport
utility vehicles in the Toyota
stable.
However, what Toyota New
Zealand do very well is plug gaps
and it has vehicles to suit every
budget and purpose.
Recently, Toyota launched a
newcomer to its line-up – the
Fortuner. It is a large, seven-seat,
sport utility vehicle which sits
alongside the Highlander and the
Land Cruiser series for buyers
who just can’t step up to Prado or
who don’t want the petrol-fuelled
Highlander.
The Fortuner is a diesel-powered
model only, it is the newgeneration
engine which sits in
Prado and Hilux, and there are
many other similarities to Hilux
as well, the Fortuner sits on the
chassis and underpinnings which
has made Hilux so successful as a
light commercial ute.
That concept isn’t new in SUV
manufacture – Ford’s Everest
utilises the Ranger platform, and
Holden’s Colorado7 is an extension
of the Colorado ute.
However, there is one significant
difference between the
Fortuner’s suspension and that
of the Hilux, while both have a
live rear axle, the Fortuner has
coil springs as opposed to a leaf
TOYOTA FORTUNER: Capable off-road.
spring set-up which is common
practice with this type of SUV.
Elsewhere, the Fortuner doesn’t
rely heavily on the appeal of
Hilux. Yes, the doors and bonnet
are the same, but the Fortuner
has styling cues less aggressive
and more akin to what you would
find in a family station wagon. I
really like the shape of Fortuner,
it is classy and curvy, disguising
well its relationship to Hilux.
The Fortuner lands here in
three grades. The entry-level GX
model lands at $70,990 and is
a manual gearbox model, automatic
transmission on GX adds
$2000. The test car was the GXL
automatic at $75,990, while a
Limited sits at $78,990.
Each is equipped well for its

• Performance – 0-100km/h,

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km
price, the test car boasted satellite
navigation, paddle-shift gear
selectors, powered tailgate, nice
wood and leather steering wheel,
cruise control, and reversing
camera.
As mentioned, the Fortuner
gets Toyota’s new-generation
2.8-litre, four-cylinder diesel
engine. It is a stunner in terms
of refinement and mechanical
ability, it pumps out a beefy
130kW and 450Nm while
capable of returning a 8.6l/100km
(33mpg) combined cycle fuel
usage average.
During my time with the test
car the trip computer was constantly
sitting around 10l/100km
(28mpg) with 8l/100km
(35mpg) listing instantaneously
at 100km/h (engine speed
1800rpm).
The engine responds willingly
to throttle pressure and works
smoothly under pressure. That’s
something I’ve commented on
every time I’ve experienced the
new engine, it has refinement
uncharacteristic for a big four-pot
diesel.
Power is harnessed gently
through a six-speed automatic;
the gearbox is also reasonably
new for Toyota, well it’s certainly
new for Hilux, and Fortuner gets
the benefit of the low and close
ratios, immediate acceleration is
forceful, while the ratios broaden
to provide the lethargy for open
road cruising. Bearing in mind
that Fortuner is aimed at families
who will want to drive long
distances on the open road, fuel
economy is an important ingredient
of that.
Yet, the Fortuner is also the
capable off-road charger. Its fourwheel-drive
system is engineered
for rough conditions, it can
most certainly be described as a
serious off-roader. It has ground
clearance of a healthy 279mm,
and the driveline has a low ratio
transfer case so that slow speed
momentum can be initiated for
when obstacles are presented.
I took the test car on a piece
of dirt that encompassed several
mounds and descents, I can report
it has suspension which absorbs
the rough stuff, providing the
occupants with a well-cushioned
ride in those conditions.
As well as the Fortuner is
engineered for life off-road, it is
still the easy-to-drive city slicker.
Sure, at 4.8m there is a lot of
vehicle to get into a metered
car park, but it has adequate
manoeuvrability considering its
size, and good visibility.
As an organisation, Toyota
isn’t shy about introducing vehicles
for an intended audience.
The Fortuner fits into the vast
model line-up perfectly, and will
be joined in other models soon
which will expand the SUV market
even further.
The Fortuner is there for those
who understand the ability of
Hilux yet need something just a
little more family-friendly.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Using an agent to
sell your house
The question that many people selling their property face is whether to
list with a real estate agent or attempt the sales process themselves.
A short drive around the streets supports
the statistics that most homes are sold
through a real estate agency with a much
smaller number marketed by a private
vendor.
“houses sold by a home owner can sit on
the market for longer and historically sell for
less while real estate agents generally achieve
a higher price,” explains Mike Goatley,
Principal at one Agency’s selwyn real Estate
in rolleston.
Mike has considerable experience in
the real estate industry. he says people
want to know that they are dealing with a
professional and will have recourse in the
long run if needed whereas buying off a
private seller is ‘consumer beware’ as the
consumer protection laws do not apply for
private sales.
An example is the Fair trading Act. Under
section 14, it is illegal to falsely represent
a property or mislead a potential buyer in
any way, including in any bidding process.
This requirement only applies to people in
business.
Also relevant is the real Estate Agents
Act, 2008. The real Estate Agents Authority
(rEAA) is the industry body that is
responsible for overseeing observance of this
legislation. It has rules governing licensed
real estate agents that relate to client care,
and specify how both seller and buyer is to
be taken care of in the sales process.
“These are critical things and good reasons
for using a real estate agent,” suggests Mike.
Another benefit of going through a real
estate agent is their ability to penetrate the
market giving far wider exposure platforms
than a private individual is able to access.
While trade Me appears to be the most
recognised on-line forum for listing homes,
real estate agents have access to a wider
range of local and international websites
that include realestate.co.nz, houGarden
and Juwai that allow Chinese buyers to be
reached, Dream homes and specialised real
estate publications and newspaper lift-outs.
An agent’s experience in putting together
eye catching advertising also attracts interest
in a property. Then, there is the exposure the
property gains from promotional initiatives
like the property featured in the real estate
agent’s window and a wider pool of agents
being aware of the property.
The size of the real estate agency is not a
factor when it comes to successfully selling a
property according to Mike.
“The visibility of a client’s property to the
market is what counts. People will go to a
property because they like the look of it, not
because of an agency’s name. small agencies
also provide a high level of service with
clients enjoying a more hands-on personal
approach,” suggests Mike.
“It’s a people business. houses are bought
and sold through relationships being
established, not a brand. More important is
good communication and negotiating skills
with high energy and choosing the best sale
strategy for the client’s property.”
