SPEEDING DRIVERS near West<br />
Rolleston Primary School are<br />
creating concerns for parents,<br />
residents and police.<br />
The school opened in February,<br />
prompting the district council to<br />
lower the speed limit on Dunns<br />
Crossing Rd from 100km/h to<br />
70km/h.<br />
Senior Sergeant<br />
Pete Stills (left) said<br />
police had had a<br />
number of complaints<br />
about speed on<br />
Dunns Crossing Rd<br />
and Lowes Rd.<br />
“Some people might be taking<br />
a bit of time to adjust to the<br />
presence of the new school, but<br />
obviously there is a risk with<br />
the prevalence of the pupils in<br />
that area now, so just as a safety<br />
concern we will be focusing our<br />
patrols there a wee bit more,” he<br />
said.<br />
“We just ask that people keep<br />
their speed down and comply with<br />
the speed restrictions and particularly<br />
the 40km/h speed past the<br />
school requirement.”<br />
Senior Sergeant Stills said the<br />
road had somewhat of a rural<br />
character, being on the edge of<br />
Rolleston.<br />
“There will be a perception to<br />
motorists that it’s open road and<br />
the risk is reduced, but the reality<br />
is it’s not.”<br />
He said police would rather<br />
change behaviours than have to<br />
ticket people.<br />
“History teaches us that when<br />
we focus on bad behaviour outside<br />
schools, we predominately catch<br />
parents with children at the<br />
school, which is always a concern<br />
but that’s the way it is.”<br />

HOLDING ON: Springfield and West Melton played out a 15-all draw in the Colts final on<br />
Saturday which means the teams will share the title this year. The contest was a bruising<br />
affair as illustrated with Shaun Harrington hanging on to make the tackle on Billy Bates.<br />

Mail deliveries set to halve<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
THE NUMBER of mail delivery<br />
days will be slashed in half<br />
for Darfield, West Melton and<br />
Sheffield starting from Monday.<br />
Delivery will fall from six days<br />
to three in these towns, as well<br />
as Oxford in the Waimakariri<br />
district, as part of restructuring<br />
at New Zealand Post, which<br />
is in response to falling mail<br />
volumes.<br />
Rural delivery addresses in the<br />
surrounding areas will continue<br />
to receive mail six days a week.<br />
A New Zealand Post spokeswoman<br />
said the state-owned<br />
enterprise would remain committed<br />
to delivering 95 per cent<br />
of mail within three working<br />
days as it did currently.<br />
“The way we’re delivering<br />
mail is changing, but our service<br />
standards are not,” the spokeswoman<br />
said.<br />
“Express parcels will be delivered<br />
overnight, and post office<br />
box and rural delivery services<br />
will continue as they are now.”<br />
District councillor Sam<br />
Broughton said people he had<br />
spoken to didn’t like the idea<br />
that services were going to be<br />
reduced.<br />
“Getting things delivered<br />
regularly is something which I<br />
think is an important part of the<br />
CUT BACKS: Mail delivery in Darfield, Sheffield and West Melton will be reduced from six days to<br />
three. <br />
way people live their lives,” Cr<br />
Broughton said.<br />
“It’s not the end of the world,<br />
but it’s just not a very nice thing<br />
to be happening.”<br />
However, Darfield Community<br />
Committee chairman and<br />
Malvern Butchery owner Paddy<br />
McKay said he hadn’t heard a lot<br />
of concern about the changes.<br />
“A lot of our stuff is emailed<br />
now,” Mr McKay said.<br />
“If it’s going to affect anyone,<br />
it’s probably going to be the<br />
older generation, but mail is<br />
even limited to them now as<br />
well.”<br />
West Melton Residents’ Association<br />
chairman Jeff Waters<br />
said he hadn’t heard from<br />
any residents upset about the<br />
changes.<br />
Several commenters on the<br />
West Melton Community Page<br />
on Facebook said the changes<br />
were understandable and they<br />
didn’t mind.<br />
In <strong>July</strong> last year, New Zealand<br />
Post started delivering standard<br />
mail every second day in larger<br />
towns and cities, including<br />
Christchurch, Ashburton and<br />
Timaru.<br />
Those changes are now being<br />
rolled out to smaller towns.<br />
Other <strong>Selwyn</strong> towns will be<br />
affected in the next few years,<br />
but the time line is yet to be announced.<br />
Changes came into effect for<br />
Amberley, Hanmer Springs,<br />
Waikari and Waiau yesterday.<br />
In Brief<br />
STOLEN CAR PURSUED<br />
Police pursued the driver of a<br />
stolen can in the Windwhistle<br />
area on Friday after it was clocked<br />
travelling at 176km/h. Police<br />
lost track of the car which was<br />
last seen heading north on Mt<br />
Hutt Station Rd. The vehicle<br />
had recently been stolen from<br />
Avonhead, Christchurch.<br />
LAND LIST<br />
A drop-in session for landowners<br />
to discuss the inclusion of<br />
properties on the Hazardous<br />
Activities and Industries List will<br />
be held around the district this<br />
week and next week. Staff from<br />
both Environment Canterbury<br />
and the district council will be on<br />
hand. The sessions will be held<br />
at the district council’s Rolleston<br />
headquarters today; the Lincoln<br />
Event Centre tomorrow; the<br />
Glentunnel Hall on Monday;<br />
Leeston Library on August 2; and<br />
the Dunsandel Sports Centre on<br />
August 3. All sessions run from<br />
2-8pm and any enquiries should<br />
be made to ECan.<br />
HEDGE FIRE<br />
Four fire appliances and four<br />
tankers were called to put out<br />
a fire in a 20m pine hedge in<br />
the Charing Cross area on<br />
Saturday at about 2pm. A fire<br />
communications spokeswoman<br />
said it was not known how the fire<br />
had started.<br />
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME NIPPLES?<br />
A colleague recently shared this little<br />
gem with me...<br />
“While at the recent Snow Sports<br />
Awards, a friend of mine who has a<br />
hearing loss approached me with a funny<br />
story. While having dinner at a local<br />
Otago restaurant, the waitress said to<br />
him “Would you like some nipples?”<br />
The waitress was young and pretty and<br />
knowing his glory days were over years<br />
ago, he was quite taken back. He looked<br />
around, she was definitely talking to<br />
him.... And she asked again, “Would you<br />
like some nipples?”<br />
His “dream come true” moment ended<br />
abruptly when he realised she was<br />
actually asking him if he wanted some<br />
“NIBBLES!””<br />
Misunderstandings like these are often<br />
key drivers that prompt people to finally<br />
take action on their hearing loss. The<br />
average person has been struggling to<br />
hear for 7 to 10 years before they come<br />
in to see me. Why so much resistance<br />
to getting hearing impairment diagnosed<br />
and treated? Denial is<br />
a factor that cant be ignorred.<br />
Many older adults like to think<br />
that they don’t have a problem<br />
and ignore the numerous<br />
warning signs, including awkward<br />
social faux pas. People<br />
compensate by using their<br />
“good ear” or turning up the<br />
volume or smiling and nodding instead<br />
of actually understanding a conversation.<br />
The number one comments I hear from<br />
customers are “I hear what I want to<br />
hear” and “I know I should have done<br />
something about it a lot sooner.” “The<br />
honest truth is that in order to be fully<br />
engaged in life, you have to be able to<br />
communicate and be communicated<br />
to.” “Hearing well is a vital part of being<br />
social and being engaged in social<br />
settings,” says Brenna.<br />
Brenna Sincock Hearing<br />
Call 03 390 2332 today<br />
““““I understand why people procrastinate<br />
and put it off but really, hearing is so<br />
important, it needs to be highter on our<br />
collective list of priorites. Nine out of<br />
ten people I see say “I wish I had got my<br />
hearing sorted sooner.” They experience<br />
the instant benefit and it has such a positive<br />
impact on their day to day lives.”<br />

Men’s club may get new home in Lincoln<br />

THE LINCOLN Menz Shed<br />
could be getting a new home.<br />
It is in discussions with the<br />
district council about building<br />
on land behind the Lincoln<br />

like to see some work done<br />

walk.<br />
“The biggest thing would be<br />
getting kerb and channelling<br />

District council parks and reserves<br />

The district council said<br />
development would occur once<br />

ROLLESTON’S Masefield Drive<br />
could be in line for $150,000<br />
upgrade which would see a<br />
footpath and kerbing installed<br />
along a 320m section.<br />
The district council will vote<br />
tomorrow on whether to add the<br />
project to the current Annual<br />
Plan.<br />
Funding comes from an unbudgeted<br />
Sicon dividend which<br />
has now been added to the annual<br />
budget.<br />
Masefield Drive is classified<br />
as an arterial road, and is a key<br />
route to the town centre<br />

per day.<br />

Student UN-bound<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
A BIZARRE question and<br />
lost email led to a Lincoln<br />
High School student heading<br />
to the United Nations<br />
headquarters.<br />
Hannah Long has been<br />
accepted to the United Nations<br />
Youth New Zealand Global<br />
Development Tour 2017.<br />
Before being accepted she was<br />
interviewed by the directors of<br />
the United Nations Youth New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“The first question they asked<br />
me was would I rather have<br />
ramen for hair or mushrooms<br />
for ears. I picked ramen, I got<br />
the straight hair gene and I<br />
have always wanted curly hair,”<br />
Hannah said.<br />
The moment she found out<br />
she had been accepted to the<br />
trip not as exciting as it was<br />
stressful. The email notifying<br />
her she had been accepted got<br />
sent to her junk email.<br />
“We got told we would be<br />
notified by email if we had been<br />
accepted, it had got to 11pm<br />
and I didn’t think I had been<br />
accepted, then I checked my<br />
spam for some reason and it<br />
was there,” she said.<br />
Fellow Lincoln High student<br />
Rafael Clarke has also<br />
been accepted for the<br />
programme.<br />
It involves three weeks<br />
travelling around Europe<br />
before spending a week at<br />
the UN headquarters in New<br />
York to learn about global<br />
development, international<br />
cooperation, and the role the<br />
UN plays in both.<br />
Hannah has been a member<br />
of the UN Youth New Zealand<br />
for three years. She has<br />
previously represented France<br />
at a UN Youth conference. The<br />
young people have to gather<br />
information on the country<br />
they represent and discuss the<br />
issues with each other.<br />
Hannah has been keeping a<br />
keen eye on the news overseas<br />
and while she is a little<br />
apprehensive she is also excited<br />
by the chance to be around so<br />
much change.<br />
There were 22 people<br />
throughout New Zealand<br />
selected for the trip.<br />
Hannah has started a<br />
Givealittle page titled Get<br />
Hannah to the Global<br />
Development Tour 2017 to<br />
help her raise the $9000 to pay<br />
for it before the tour starts next<br />

EXCITED: Hannah Long represented France at last year’s<br />
regional UN Youth conference and she represented Singapore<br />
this year’s event. She will spend three weeks travelling around<br />
Europe before heading to the UN headquarters in New York<br />
next year.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> history in print<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
DAYS GONE BY: Rolleston in the late 1950s. Celebrations<br />
planned to mark the town’s 150th anniversary have inspired a<br />
new book on <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s history. <br />
A NEW book which would be<br />
the first to extensively cover<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s history is in the works.<br />
The impetus for the book came<br />
out of planning for Rolleston’s<br />
150th anniversary celebrations<br />
in October.<br />
District council staff member<br />
Wayne Stack, who has a masters<br />
degree in military history,<br />
volunteered to write it after an<br />
approach from district councillor<br />
and Rolleston anniversary<br />
committee chairman Jeff Bland.<br />
It is expected to take 12 to 18<br />
months to complete.<br />
Mr Stack said the exact scope<br />
of the book has yet to be decided<br />
but it was likely to be a substantial<br />
work covering the history of<br />
the whole district, rather than<br />
just the Rolleston area.<br />
“There have been books written<br />
about the Ellesmere county<br />
and the Malvern county which<br />
were part of the amalgamation<br />
to bring <strong>Selwyn</strong> together but<br />
there is nothing there to actually<br />
put <strong>Selwyn</strong> on the map as a<br />
district in itself,” he said.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> was formed in 1989<br />
when the Ellesmere and Malvern<br />
counties and the rural half of the<br />
Paparua county were amalgamated.<br />
Cr Bland said the writing of<br />
the book was an exciting development.<br />
A previous book had<br />
covered the history of Rolleston<br />
up until the period before the<br />
town’s growth had really taken<br />
off but with the milestone coming<br />
up it was important to have a<br />
book which also reflected recent<br />
history.<br />
“Since we have been talking<br />
about this 150th it has become<br />
obvious that we need to update<br />
our history,” he said.<br />
“We think of history as 40, 50,<br />
60 years ago but hang on, history<br />
is yesterday as well.”<br />
Mr Stack will also be working<br />
on a display of historic photographs<br />
and other items from the<br />
Rolleston area which will be part<br />
of the 150th anniversary celebrations.<br />
It will be one of a number of<br />
displays and events to take place<br />
over three days from October 14<br />
to 16. The main celebrations will<br />
be held on October 15 at a site<br />
on the corner of Jones Rd and<br />
Hoskyns Rd.<br />

historic photographs, or<br />
other items and material<br />
which might help Mr Stack<br />
with compiling the book and<br />
150th anniversary exhibit<br />
can phone 347 2851.<br />
Roundabout work to start<br />
WORK WILL start within a<br />
week on changes to a five-legged<br />
roundabout in Rolleston.<br />
The Goulds Rd, Tennyson St,<br />
Springtson Rolleston Rd and<br />
Lowes Rd roundabout is ‘not<br />
suitable’ for the growing amount<br />
of traffic using it.<br />
The access to the roundabout<br />
from Goulds Rd will be cut off<br />
later this month and will be<br />
permanently closed from August<br />
1, changing the current five-road<br />
intersection to four.<br />
Goulds Rd will become a dead<br />
end near the dog park.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> previously<br />
reported that the Rolleston Residents<br />
Association and Rolleston<br />
College has safety concerns<br />
around students navigating the<br />
roundabout once Rolleston College<br />
opens next year.<br />
Broadlands Drive has been<br />
extended past the college<br />
to create a roundabout at<br />
Springston Rolleston Rd.<br />
The extension to Broadlands<br />
Drive past the college to create<br />
a roundabout at Springston<br />
Rolleston Rd have finished so<br />
now work to change the fivelegged<br />
roundabout will begin.<br />
District council asset manager<br />
of transportation, Andrew<br />
Mazey said the changes will be<br />
made because the roundabout<br />
has had an increasing amount of<br />
traffic use it .<br />
“The existing layout of the<br />
roundabout as a five-road junction<br />
is not suitable given the<br />
growing vehicle numbers and<br />
the change is designed to improve<br />
the roundabout’s safety,”<br />
Mr Mazey said.<br />
During the work on the<br />
roundabout people will still be<br />
able to access it from Goulds Rd<br />
until August 1.<br />
Traffic lights are planned to be<br />
put in place at the intersection in<br />
three year’s time.<br />

Our newly<br />
painted premises<br />
More than repair work has occurred at Marks Automotive Ltd lately. The<br />
landlord has had the building strengthened to bring it up to code and Kumho<br />
have painted and sign-written the premises.<br />
Owners, Leona and Mark Nicholas are delighted with the changes, and proud<br />
to be members of the Kumho Tyre Team which allows them to offer excellent<br />
prices on new tyres.<br />
Marks Automotive provides a range of automotive repairs and servicing<br />
including European vehicles, campervans, quad bikes, small trucks and horse<br />
floats. They carry out WOFs, sell tyres and batteries, and offer Gas Bottle<br />
swaps.<br />
Mark has the latest scanning diagnostic equipment allowing diagnostic<br />
analysis on a variety of vehicles and with Mark and Sam’s enthusiasm for<br />
automotive electronics it is not surprising that they take care of this work<br />
in-house.<br />
Mark and Leona have another workshop with resource consent to perform<br />
the larger jobs such as engine and transmission replacements.<br />
As a member of the MTA, their high standard of workmanship is also<br />
assured. This fits with their policy of affordable and sensible repairs whilst<br />
emphasising vehicle safety. It explains why so many people locally and from<br />
further afield, are loyal customers who they look after.<br />

be due in the future while WOF, service and recommendation reminders are<br />
sent out to clients.<br />
A new mechanic, Fyn has also joined Mark, Sam, Matt and Macca in the<br />
workshop, supported by apprentices, Will and Isaac and four efficient office<br />
staff (Jamie and Leona, full-time and Ellie and Sarah, part-time), along<br />
with after-school helpers, Matt and Dylan who keep the workshop tidy and<br />
loan cars clean.<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to last<br />
week’s article on $12<br />
million that has been<br />
put into cleaning up Te<br />
Waihora/Lake Ellesmere.<br />
Phillip Marcs, of Prebbleton –<br />
The money for cleaning the lake<br />
is not nearly enough. I haven’t<br />
lived in <strong>Selwyn</strong> for very long,<br />
only several years, and I am told<br />
that it was once a beautiful place<br />
that was clean and full of life.<br />
The lake is one of the biggest<br />
in New Zealand, $12 million is<br />
clearly not going to be enough<br />
to get it back to what it once<br />
was. I would love to take my<br />
family there and be able to use<br />
it for recreational use. It needs a<br />
serious look at and for someone<br />
to actually make the health of the<br />
lake a priority.<br />
It’s a real shame to see<br />
something that like this go to<br />
waste. How much beneficial work<br />
can be done over decades? Will<br />
it even be noticeable? It needs a<br />
serious cash injection and proper<br />
work needs to be done quicker<br />
than ‘decades’.<br />
I don’t want to see it deteriorate<br />
further and become worse.<br />
Things need to change.<br />
K Partridge, of Leeston – Yes,<br />
clean up Lake Ellesmere.<br />
This lake can be so beautiful<br />
to look at some days but the fact<br />
it is so unhealthy is common<br />
knowledge.<br />
With a clean-up the lake could<br />
look and be so healthy and a<br />
great place to enjoy. I sometimes<br />
go there, not to get in the water,<br />
but just to enjoy the sight and<br />
scenery and I think it is such a<br />
shame more people don’t use it.<br />
I think $12 million is the right<br />
start but how long will it take to<br />
make it like it was?<br />
They say decades and that’s a<br />
really long time. The place needs<br />
to be fixed now.<br />
Readers respond to last<br />
week’s article on a pig farm<br />
operation that has upset<br />
neighbours<br />
Rose Daniels, of West<br />
Melton – I feel for the people<br />
living near that pig farm. I<br />
certainly wouldn’t want one to<br />
move in near me either.<br />
The smell must be horrible and<br />
I can’t imagine what the dust<br />
must be like. The other people<br />
who were living there first didn’t<br />
buy their land or house expecting<br />
a pig farm to go in near them<br />
with no warning. It’s just rude.<br />
I’m glad the district council<br />
seem to actually be doing<br />
something about this problem<br />
and making them remove the<br />
pigs.<br />
It will be interesting to see if<br />
they listen to them. Good on the<br />
homeowners for speaking up and<br />
not letting it continue.<br />
Isaac Andrews, of Rolleston<br />
– I can’t imagine what living next<br />
to a pig farm must be like.<br />
I understand the need for<br />
them but to set one up without<br />
letting the people near by know<br />
what’s going on is not good<br />
enough.<br />
Setting up an operation like<br />
this leads to a whole load of<br />
problems. The noise, dust and<br />
mainly the smell. I certainly<br />
would complain too if I lived<br />
near it.<br />
How back and forth from the<br />
district council though. They get<br />
complaints from the neighbours<br />
about it make the farm owners<br />
get an abatement notice and<br />
apply for consent then grant<br />
them the consent.<br />
Where is the consistency?<br />
Now they’re telling them they<br />
have to get rid of the pigs. Must<br />
be confusing for all the parties<br />
involved.<br />

Another project added to help benefit<br />
After moving to the other side of the world for<br />
love, Dee Innes has made Windwhistle her<br />
home. She spoke to Caitlin Miles about taking on<br />
a farming life and why she became a trustee on<br />
the Hororata Community Trust.<br />
Congratulations on becoming a<br />
trustee on the Hororata<br />
Community Trust.<br />
Thank you, yes it’s great to be<br />
on the trust and to continue to<br />
support them and the work they<br />
do in the community.<br />
Why did you want to become<br />
a trustee?<br />
The reason I became a trustee<br />
is because I hope to give my<br />
input and be as successful with<br />
the trust as I can be. I know a lot<br />
of people in the area since I have<br />
been here so long so, hopefully,<br />
that will help and they’ll continue<br />
to support me.<br />
Do you do a lot of work for<br />
the community?<br />
Ever since I moved here I’ve<br />
had an interest in the area and<br />
people, it was a great way to meet<br />
people and get to know the community<br />
and the area. I didn’t do<br />
so much when my son was small.<br />
Once he started at Windwhistle<br />
School I got more involved with<br />
the community and I continued<br />
to add more projects as he got<br />
older.<br />
Can you tell me about some<br />
of the work you have done<br />
within the community?<br />
Well, it has all been on-going<br />
over a few years now. I’ve always<br />
been interested in people so<br />
that’s why I like working with the<br />
community. We use to have ‘Dee’s<br />
Day’ where people in the community<br />
could come and sell their<br />
wares. It just started as a day for<br />
some friends to try and sell some<br />
items but it grew to 100 stalls. We<br />
would get 200 to 300 people<br />
show up at our<br />
property<br />
for it and it<br />
would turn<br />
into a big<br />
catch-up.<br />
I was also<br />
involved<br />
in the<br />
Northern<br />
Community<br />
Board<br />
when it was<br />
running. We got to travel around<br />
the area and learn more about<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I<br />
was also involved in the Northern<br />
Community Arts, Arts Canterbury,<br />
Malvern Community Arts<br />
and Celebrating <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Have you had a lot to do with<br />
art.<br />
Yes, I enjoy art and seeing it<br />
continue to do well in <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
There are some people who are<br />
very good artists and it’s great<br />
to be able to support them and<br />
continue to work with and recognise<br />
their art. I was also the art<br />
teacher at Darfield High<br />
School.<br />
Are you an artist yourself?<br />
It’s just a hobby, it’s nothing<br />
serious. I dabble in painting and<br />
drawing. I’ve done patchwork<br />
for 40 years though, I learnt<br />
with my sister-in-law.<br />
How long have you lived<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong>?<br />
We’ve lived in Windwhistle<br />
for 31 years. We<br />
lived in the Mackenzie<br />
District for several<br />
years before we moved<br />
here. I moved from<br />
England to New Zealand<br />
when I met my husband so<br />
it was quite a big move<br />
but I was happy to<br />
do it.<br />
How did you meet your husband?<br />
Our family knew his family<br />
and my sister had worked on his<br />
family farm when she was<br />
in New Zealand. I went to the<br />
farm to say thank you for giving<br />
her work and a place to live<br />
while she was here. That’s when<br />
I met him, Gerald.<br />
Was your first trip to New<br />
Zealand the time you met your<br />
Gerald?<br />
I had visited once many years<br />
before with my grandmother,<br />
we travelled by ship that time. I<br />
was seven. That was very exciting<br />
as a young girl. I got use to the<br />
movement on the ship very<br />
quickly. I remember when we<br />
finally got off the boat I kept<br />
swaying for a while. We visited<br />
friends and then went back. It<br />
certainly was a long time on a<br />
ship to visit here but it was great<br />
fun.<br />
Did you travel all the way to<br />
New Zealand just to say thank<br />
you to his family?<br />
At the time I was visiting<br />
friends that were sprinkled<br />
around the globe. I went from<br />
Japan to China to Indonesia then<br />
on to Australia and then I came<br />
to New Zealand and met Gerald<br />
and stayed.<br />
That was a pretty bold move,<br />
did you have family here?<br />
No, I didn’t, it was just me. I<br />
had some friends I was<br />
travelling with but when I met<br />
Gerald I just decided to stay. His<br />
family were wonderful too, so I<br />
didn’t mind being here without<br />
my family because I had his. I<br />
stayed in New Zealand for as<br />
long as I could and then I had<br />
to go back to England because<br />
my visa ran out. We got married<br />
over there and moved back<br />
here.<br />

Dee Innes<br />
ACHIEVERS<br />
How long had you known<br />
one another for before getting<br />
married?<br />
Well, I had known his parents<br />
but not him directly. We met<br />
in January of 1976 and were<br />
married by the August. That<br />
was the done thing back then<br />
though, it wasn’t uncommon, we<br />
didn’t live together before we got<br />
married either. It was different<br />
back then.<br />
Was it hard leaving all your<br />
family in England?<br />
My family has visited me over<br />
the years so I was never cut off<br />
from them. Also Gerald’s family<br />
were great. They really became<br />
my family, they gave me lots<br />
of support and they were very<br />
welcoming.<br />
When you went back to England<br />
to get married why didn’t<br />
you stay there?<br />
Gerald is a farm boy through<br />
and through, I couldn’t take him<br />
out of the farm and put him in<br />
England. I was happy to follow<br />
him back here and set up life on<br />
a farm.<br />
Did you come from a farm?<br />
No. When I moved over here<br />
to be with Gerald I learnt about<br />
working on a farm. It was quite<br />
a change from life in England to<br />
New Zealand, so that was quite<br />
a good challenge to take on. I<br />
didn’t really do too much on<br />
HOME: Gerald and Dee Innes have lived on their farm<br />
Windwhistle for 31 years and they still enjoy the alpine views.<br />
the farm, I helped out a bit but<br />
Gerald did everything else.<br />
What did you farm?<br />
Sheep, cattle and deer.<br />
You said you taught art at<br />
Darfield High School, did you<br />
study art before you came to<br />
New Zealand?<br />
I studied African history<br />
at London University. After<br />
I finished I lived and worked<br />
in South Africa for about 14<br />
months and visited Tanzania.<br />
Do you still travel?<br />
Yes we do. We have just come<br />
back from a trip to Hungary to<br />
see a friend of ours. We met in<br />
Budapest and travelled to see her<br />
father. We still have friends all<br />
around the world who we try and<br />
visit when we can. That’s our way<br />
of relaxing. Also spending time<br />
with my family and our three<br />
grandchildren.<br />

AWARD WINNER: Ramil Mifrano accepted the stage three<br />
flooring apprentice of the Year award from BCITO industry<br />
advocate Deb Paul.<br />
Lincoln man<br />
top apprentice<br />
A LINCOLN resident has<br />
won an apprentice of the year<br />
competition.<br />
Ramil Mifrano took out the<br />
stage three flooring apprentice<br />
of the year section at the annual<br />
Building and Construction<br />
Industry Training Organisation<br />
Flooring Apprentice of the Year<br />
Awards.<br />
The winners were selected<br />
based on their achievements and<br />
the skills they displayed during<br />
their courses.<br />
BCITO chief executive Warwick<br />
Quinn said the awards are<br />
about recognising apprentices.<br />
“These events really are the<br />
culmination of everything we<br />
are about at BCITO. Celebrating<br />
excellence in our young achievers,<br />
after years of dedication and<br />
hard work, is heart-warming to<br />
us and really reflects what we<br />
want every apprentice under our<br />
wing to aspire to,” Mr Quinn<br />
said.<br />
Mr Mifrano moved to New<br />
Zealand from the Philippines six<br />
years ago.<br />
He decided on a flooring<br />
apprenticeship after starting<br />
work for John Cooper Flooring<br />
and finding that he enjoyed<br />
the challenging nature of the<br />
trade.<br />
He worked there for three<br />
years and then completed his<br />
final year at Dominion Flooring.<br />
Mr Mifrano now runs his<br />
own installation company, R M<br />
Flooring.<br />
BCITO block course provider<br />
floor NZ principal tutor Jeff<br />
Henry said Mr Mifrano always<br />
took on a challenge.<br />
“On the job, he was always<br />
punctual, open to suggestions,<br />
had a great sense of humour and<br />
was a pleasure to deal with,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Mifrano is now completing<br />
his second qualification through<br />
BCITO in floor and wall tiling.<br />

Lincoln HS score first<br />
win in UC Championship<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE WAIT is over for<br />
Lincoln High School – the<br />
first XV had their first win<br />
in the UC Championship<br />
on Saturday.<br />
The 19-14 win over Ashburton<br />
College was their<br />
first win in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
The team couldn’t have<br />
picked a better time, with<br />
the match airing live on<br />
Sky Sport as part of their<br />
first XV rugby coverage.<br />
“It was a great win. We<br />
were trying not to hype up<br />
the game too much during<br />
the week and just wanted<br />
to treat it like another<br />
match,” said Lincoln High<br />
School director of rugby<br />
Leslie Greenslade.<br />
Ashburton scored two<br />
tries to Lincoln’s one.<br />
Lock Regan Kay<br />
grabbed Lincoln’s lone try,<br />
with the boot of first-five<br />
Corey McKay sealing victory<br />
for the home side.<br />
McKay was perfect,<br />
kicking four penalties<br />
from as many attempts.<br />
He also kicked a conversion<br />
from the touchline<br />
following Kay’s try.<br />
“He had an outstanding<br />
game. He had the ball on<br />
a string and made some<br />
really crucial kicks,” said<br />
Greenslade.<br />
It’s been a tough year up<br />
to this point for Lincoln,<br />
who came into Saturday<br />
with 11 defeats and a draw<br />
from 12 games.<br />
“That’s the pleasing<br />
thing for the team, they<br />
were shell-shocked following<br />
the first game of the<br />
year.<br />
“They’ve all improved<br />
individually and as a<br />
team from then on,” said<br />
Greenslade.<br />

the hardest part is making the commitment. So to avoid yet<br />
another year disappearing without getting off the couch sign<br />
up for the Shoe Clinic <strong>Selwyn</strong> Running Festival on 6 November<br />
<strong>2016</strong>.<br />
This local event, held in Leeston, is in its 6th year and gaining<br />
momentum. There is a distance for everyone from the Half<br />
Marathon to the Kids Dash as well as walking events. There is<br />
even a three person team category in the 10km run.<br />
The course starts in Leeston and runs the rural roads to<br />
Southbridge and beyond. There is no better feeling as you turn<br />
the last bend and head for home down the main road of Leeston<br />
with the locals lining the street cheering you on.<br />
We want to encourage all runners and walkers whether this is<br />
your first event or you are an elite runner. By signing up now<br />
you have made your first step to achieving your goal.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are being invited to celebrate the Rio Olympics and support St John’s project to<br />
build a new facility in Rolleston with a fun afternoon of games and awards at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic<br />
Centre on Saturday 6 August.<br />
The Olympic Games will officially open in Rio de Janeiro on Friday 5 August (the morning of 6<br />
August New Zealand Time) and 195 New Zealand athletes will be competing in 19 sports.<br />
“We’re excited to host a fun event which everyone in <strong>Selwyn</strong> can be part of to celebrate the start<br />
of the Olympics,” says Aquatic Facilities Manager Kathy Moore. “This is also an opportunity to<br />
celebrate the contribution everyone who has been part of our Swim to Rio challenge has made to<br />
helping raise funds for a local facility for St John while improving their fitness at the same time.”<br />
The Swim to Rio challenge has been running since February with a target for swimmers to cover<br />
a combined distance of 11,765 kilometres – the distance from Lyttelton to Rio de Janeiro. There<br />
has been full community support through sponsorship of swimmers, sausage sizzles, raffles,<br />
donations and a bake sale with the funds going to the Rolleston St John project. Over 10,000<br />
kilometres has been completed to date.<br />
The Aquatic Olympics on Saturday 6 August will run between 2-4pm at the centre. Swim to Rio<br />
Challenge participants who have covered the longest distance will be recognised with an award at<br />
a podium presentation. A cheque from the challenge will also be presented to St John.<br />
Everyone is welcome to participate in the event which will include Olympic-themed water games<br />
like javelin noodle throw, aquatic sprints and paddle boat relay races.<br />
“We’re inviting ‘Olympic’ competitors both young and old to enter the games and dress up in the<br />
colours of the country they want to represent,” says Kathy Moore. “We are looking forward to the<br />
day and we think it will be fantastic fun.”<br />
There will also be music, spot prizes sponsored by Speedo and a bake sale with the profits going<br />
to St John. Normal pool entry admission prices apply. Swimmers are requested not to wear face<br />
paint in the pool.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries are rolling out new kiosks at each library branch<br />

items, see what items you have on loan, renew items and pay any<br />
charges via cash or EFTPOS.<br />

Roundabout changes affecting Goulds Road<br />
Following the completion of the Broadlands Drive extension and the<br />
installation of a new roundabout at its intersection with Springston<br />
Rolleston Road, the Goulds Road leg of the Lowes Road/Tennyson<br />
Street roundabout will be closed to traffic from Monday 1 August<br />
onwards. The change is being made to improve the roundabouts safety<br />
as vehicle numbers using it have increased. The reduced traffic using<br />
Goulds Road will also make this a safer walking and cycling route.<br />
From 1 August onwards, access to the west end of Goulds Road will be<br />
through Broadlands Drive. A full upgrade to this roundabout is planned<br />
for 2019/20 with traffic signals to be installed to provide an improved<br />
crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.<br />
described as Sections 1, 2, 3<br />
and 4 on the Survey Office Plan<br />

SCHOOLS<br />
NEW STUDENTS: The Korean students were welcomed by<br />
politician Steven Joyce at a ceremony in Methven last week.<br />

Korean students in <strong>Selwyn</strong> schools<br />
KOREAN STUDENTS are<br />
about to make Lincoln and<br />
Darfield High Schools their own<br />
for the next eight weeks.<br />
As part of the Free Trade<br />
Agreement that was signed<br />
between New Zealand and Korea<br />
last year, 150 Korean students<br />
will attend high school and university<br />
in New Zealand as part of<br />
a three-year programme.<br />
Fifty-five of those students are<br />
at Canterbury schools.<br />
The Korean students come<br />
from rural and semi-rural backgrounds<br />
and have been accepted<br />
to the programme on scholarships<br />
to improve their English<br />
language skills.<br />
The students are aged between<br />
14 and 16-years-old.<br />
The students were welcomed<br />
at a ceremony in Methven with<br />
tertiary education, skills and employment<br />
minister Steven Joyce<br />
before meeting their homestay<br />
families.<br />
During their time in Canterbury<br />
they will stay with host<br />
families while they attend school<br />
and learn more about the culture<br />
as well as extending their English<br />
language skills.<br />
Lincoln High School principal<br />
Kathy Paterson said it was exciting<br />
for the school to be accepted<br />
in the programme.<br />
“We’re excited to have<br />
this opportunity. We are<br />
hugely supportive of having<br />
international students,” said Mrs<br />
Paterson.<br />
Lincoln High School’s five<br />
Korean students started last<br />
week with an introduction to<br />
the school before meeting their<br />
fellow classmates.<br />
The students have been able to<br />
choose their own classes to take<br />
while they study.<br />
Promoting sport aim of activities day<br />
ARCHERY, SOFTBALL and<br />
learning to hula-hoop are on the<br />
cards at the upcoming Have a<br />
Go Day.<br />
These activities are part of the<br />
event organised by the district<br />
council to encourage residents<br />
from around <strong>Selwyn</strong> to take<br />
part in trying over 20 different<br />
sports..<br />
The district council has<br />
organised the day to promote<br />
sport and community groups.<br />
District council recreation<br />
adviser Dave Tippett said the<br />
event was popular last year.<br />
More than 2000 people went<br />
along.<br />
GOLF PRACTICE: Last year participants tried their hand at inflatable golf. <br />
“Last year’s event was extremely<br />
popular and this year we<br />
have some great new activities<br />
for people to try out including<br />
high ropes for kids and adults,<br />
Scouts, Girl Guides, highland<br />
dancing and wheelchair sports,”<br />
said Mr Tippett.<br />
Along with sports there<br />
will also be fitness classes on<br />
offer at the day.<br />
Rolleston Library will also<br />
be giving lessons in how to use<br />
technology resources and training<br />
courses.<br />
Have a Go Day passports will<br />
be available from August 1 at<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries, the Lincoln<br />
Event Centre, Rolleston Community<br />
Centre, council offices<br />
in Rolleston or on the day at the<br />
event.<br />
The passports include tickingoff<br />
activities to win prizes.<br />
The free event will be held<br />
on Sunday, August 14, from<br />
12-3pm at Rolleston Community<br />
Centre.<br />

Take a cruise on the smartest<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
BY ANY measure, it’s a colossus<br />
and it’s coming to a port near<br />
you. After all, this is a ship that<br />
cracks 19,900 eggs a day in its<br />
main kitchen.<br />
Fresh from the inaugural sailing<br />
from its European shipyards<br />
via the Middle East to Asia, I’ve<br />
just spent three night’s aboard<br />
Ovation of a Seas on a taster<br />
cruise out of Singapore.<br />
New car smell is a knock-out<br />
fragrance, but new mega-ship<br />
smell kept my nostrils partying<br />
for 72 hours. So just how big is<br />
this billion dollar behemoth?<br />
It may not be the most salubrious<br />
frame of reference, but<br />
she weighs in at four times the<br />
tonnage of Titanic. She’s three<br />
and half rugby fields long. One<br />
and a half laps around the running<br />
track clocks up a kilometre.<br />
Catering to 4900 passengers and<br />
boasting 1300 crew, she towers<br />
15 stories.<br />
Currently ranked as the<br />
fourth-equal largest cruise ship<br />
in the world (Royal Caribbean<br />
clean sweeps the top five), this<br />
latest entrant to the company’s<br />
Quantum Class of vessels is also<br />
considered the smartest ship at<br />
sea.<br />
Aside from the daily Cruise<br />
VIRTUAL SKYDIVING: Soar like an eagle and get full body exfoliation.<br />
Compass programme of activities,<br />
there’s a conspicuous<br />
absence of paper – a very good<br />
thing given passenger loading.<br />
Liberally sprinkled across<br />
the ship, Royal IQ stations and<br />
mounted iPads, enable you to<br />
book every activity imaginable,<br />
from shore excursions, to spa<br />
treatments. You can also download<br />
the Royal IQ app, which<br />
doesn’t require paid for WiFi to<br />
operate, to make bookings and<br />
build your custom calendar, on<br />
your own device.<br />
Speaking of WiFi, Royal Caribbean<br />
reputedly offers the speediest<br />
service at sea. I despise WiFi<br />
charges, and Royal Caribbean’s<br />
web packages start at a pesky<br />
US$13 a day – but at least the<br />
service is robust and Roadrunner-fast.<br />
The design elements and contemporary<br />
art works throughout<br />
the vessel ooze class, comparable<br />
to the fresh, crisp and elegant<br />
interiors of a new build, five-star<br />
hotel. Royal Caribbean whips<br />
up much buzz over its inventive<br />
prowess to its active leisure<br />
and entertainment offerings like<br />
North Star, the glass capsule that<br />
soars 90m above and to the side<br />
of the ship, and Flowrider, the<br />
virtual surfing innovation.<br />
But the newest toy is Ripcord<br />
by iFLY – the world’s first freefalling<br />
skydive simulator at sea.<br />
Previously disgracing myself<br />
on Flowrider, I was determined<br />
to make a better fist of virtual<br />
skydiving. After being suited up<br />
and given a basic skills briefing,<br />
you’re encased within a billowing<br />
glass tube, with a gargantuan<br />
vertical fan (covered by a<br />
grill) blasting air up at you at<br />
160km/h.<br />
Thrust airborne, I felt like a<br />
levitating monk. And if you’ve<br />
studiously followed the briefing,<br />
astutely assuming the optimum<br />
body positions, you’ll soar like<br />
an eagle. But you certainly feel<br />
battered by the wind force.<br />
After this unexpected full body<br />
exfoliation, I saw no need to<br />
book a spa treatment or massage.<br />
iFLY is an energising bodybashing<br />
thriller. The entertaining<br />
swirl of sensory thrills continue<br />
at Seaplex, which is like a minitheme<br />
park.<br />

ship at sea<br />
Royal Caribbean’s bells<br />
and whistles are all geared at<br />
courting the family market,<br />
although there were plenty<br />
of seniors aboard having a<br />
whale of a time. At night, I<br />
sampled Two70, the futuristic<br />
entertainment venue which has<br />
revolutionised the typical bigshow<br />
affair at sea.<br />
The multi-storey glass-panelled<br />
back end of the ship transforms<br />
into a sweeping screen for<br />
projections, while six flat-screen<br />
rhythmic robots, called roboscreens,<br />
rev up the illumination<br />
magic even more.<br />
Studded with high-tech wizardry,<br />
the multi-dimensional live<br />
shows on Ovation of the Seas<br />
would have to be the best I’ve<br />
ever seen, on a cruise. Robotic<br />
technology has also invented<br />
mixology, with Royal Caribbean’s<br />
Bionic Bar. Order up a<br />
cocktail on the bar’s iPad and<br />
watch the robotic mixologists<br />
make it and shake it.<br />
When it comes to libations, I<br />
far prefer chatting to bar staff but<br />
for pure gimmickry, the Bionic<br />
Bar is a good for a giggle.<br />
Prior to boarding, I had apocalyptic<br />
dreams about how hideous<br />
feeding 5000 people, at the same<br />
time, might look. The traditional<br />
notion of the main dining room<br />
has been unceremoniously axed<br />
on Ovation, replaced with five<br />
complimentary and distinct<br />
main restaurants.<br />
They form part of the ship’s<br />
full culinary arsenal, serving up<br />
an unrivalled 18 separate dining<br />
venues. I sampled some the<br />
ship’s signature restaurants, like<br />
Izumi, Wonderland and Jamie’s<br />
Italian, which were truly exceptional.<br />
If you’re up for a dose of extravagant<br />
molecular gastronomy<br />
in fantasy surrounds, Wonderland<br />
wows with its zany, foodscience-based<br />
cuisine.<br />
BEHEMOTH: Ovation of a<br />
Seas caters up to 4900 passengers<br />
with 1300 crew.<br />
ROBOTIC: Quench your<br />
thirst in the Bionic Bar. Order<br />
up a cocktail on the iPad<br />
and watch the robotic mixologists<br />
make it,<br />
FAST FACTS<br />
• Royal Caribbean’s<br />
Ovation of the Seas is an<br />

Baking perfection is no piece of cake<br />
Cakes by Anna owner<br />
Anna Worthington<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
IT WAS cake perfection:<br />
Three layers baked, iced and<br />
decorated, ready for a wedding<br />
that afternoon – until Anna<br />
Worthington dropped it.<br />
As a new business-owner,<br />
looking down at the mess that<br />
was the once perfect cake she<br />
had spent hours crafting, she<br />
said it was one of her lowest<br />
points.<br />
But also it taught her perspective,<br />
she said.<br />
She was able to pull herself<br />
together and create a new cake<br />
in just three hours, and the bride<br />
and groom never learned about<br />
the disaster, she said.<br />
“I used to lose sleep over<br />
making wedding cakes. But now<br />
I think even in the worst case<br />
scenario, if I was to walk into the<br />
reception and drop the cake in<br />
front of them, it would have to<br />
be pretty bad to completely ruin<br />
their wedding.”<br />
It was the same attitude that<br />
gave her the courage to quit her<br />
job to start her own cake-making<br />
business, Cakes by Anna.<br />
She grew up in Christchurch,<br />
but left the city as a teenager to<br />
do a fine arts degree in Auckland.<br />
She went overseas after she<br />
graduated, and travelled around<br />
Europe for more than a year.<br />
There, she put her hand up<br />
for whatever work she could<br />
find, and discovered she really<br />
enjoyed cooking and baking.<br />
She was also inspired by the<br />
food and culture around community<br />
markets there, she said.<br />
She returned to Christchurch<br />
in 2012, not planning to stay for<br />
long, but said she was inspired<br />
by what was happening in the<br />
city.<br />
“Growing up I didn’t have a<br />
big attachment to Christchurch.<br />
It felt it wasn’t exciting enough<br />
for me. But coming back I was<br />
meeting really interesting people,<br />
and it felt like a fresh start.”<br />
She began working in a cafe,<br />
but on the side began developing<br />
her own business idea, selling<br />
cakes at the Christchurch Farmers<br />
Market in Riccarton.<br />
She said a lot of cakes being<br />
sold at the time were very sweet<br />
and covered in fondant, and she<br />
wanted to do something different.<br />
Her goal was to use as many<br />
natural and local ingredients as<br />
she could, and always experiment<br />
– pulling together flavour<br />
combinations like gin, lime and<br />
coconut or her most popular<br />
pear, date and salted caramel<br />
cakes.<br />
She began baking cakes after<br />
work in her mother’s kitchen,<br />
and selling them each weekend,<br />
but she said the business grew<br />
fast.<br />
“I was working crazy hours,<br />
from 6am to 2pm at the cafe<br />
in the kitchen, and once I was<br />
finished there I would go and do<br />
baking until late. After about six<br />
months doing both jobs I totally<br />
burnt out.”<br />
At that point she quit her job<br />
to start baking full-time.<br />
Although it was a big step, she<br />
decided she had nothing to lose.<br />
“After I quit the job I realised<br />
I had so much more time to put<br />
effort into it and really research<br />
recipes, and instead of being<br />
tired all the time I was really<br />
enjoying it.”<br />
She now has one employee,<br />
and works form a commercial<br />
kitchen in Linwood.<br />
Although she has enough<br />
work from orders from local cafes<br />
and events to keep the business<br />
going, she still plans to stick<br />
to her roots and keep her market<br />
stall running each week.<br />
HOMEGROWN: Cakes By Anna started as a small stall at the<br />
Riccarton House market, but Anna Worthington now works from<br />
a commercial kitchen and has a growing customer base.<br />

Gardening<br />
Plant silverbeet in stages for constant supply<br />
• By Tod Palenski<br />
SPINACH AND silverbeet are the perfect<br />
space fillers in a winter vege garden.<br />
Plant them in between your larger<br />
and longer growing vegetables like<br />
broccoli and cauliflower and they’ll<br />
be finished with the space before its<br />
needed.<br />
They’re both full of vitamins, are<br />
perfect additions to a wide variety of<br />
dishes and, my favourite, you can pick<br />
the leaves off the plants as they reach<br />
the size you desire.<br />
Once you’ve got your seedlings you<br />
need to find a spot to plant them. Spinach<br />
likes full sun and well-fertilised soil.<br />
And silverbeet likes well-drained soil –<br />
which, actually makes it really good for<br />
planting in pots.<br />
Before you start gardening it pays to<br />
mix into the soil some compost or a<br />
good general fertiliser like nitrophoska<br />
blue.<br />
Then simply plant your seedlings<br />
around 20cm apart from each other.<br />
Remember, if you’ve planted (or are<br />
planning to grow) longer growing<br />
vegetables, like any members of the<br />
brassica family, plant your silverbeet<br />
and spinach seedlings in the rows in<br />
between.<br />
Both of these tasty veges are also enjoyed<br />
by slugs and snails so keep an eye<br />
out for these slimy pests.<br />
Depending on the condition of your<br />
soil your space filling plants will be<br />
ready to harvest in around eight to 12<br />
weeks. If your soil is well composted<br />
and free-draining you’ll be looking at<br />
more like eight weeks.<br />
And remember if you want a constant<br />
supply of beet and spinach – stagger<br />
your planting (plant more every couple<br />
of weeks).<br />
HEALTHY: Silverbeet and spinach like full sun and well-drained soil.<br />
Control pests with winter spraying<br />
THE BEST antidote to a pest and<br />
disease-ridden spring garden is thorough<br />
winter spraying.<br />
Nothing toxic is required — simply<br />
give plants a good dowsing of copper<br />
spray, followed a week later by an application<br />
of spraying oil. Both of these are<br />
regarded as organic.<br />
Repeat three times over the winter<br />
months to kill both overwintering insect<br />
eggs and disease spores. It’s especially<br />
important to spray fruit trees (including<br />
citrus), roses and other deciduous plants,<br />
as well as any plants badly infested with<br />
insect pests or disease last summer.<br />
In fact, you should spray the entire<br />
garden, but wait for any winter-flowering<br />
plants to finish blooming before you<br />
begin.<br />
Garden pests lurk in the most unexpected<br />
places.<br />
Check the undersides of leaves for<br />
scale insects, and leaf sheaths and stems<br />
for mealybug and scale.<br />
Look for silvering of leaves on evergreen<br />
shrubs and trees including rhododendrons,<br />
camellias and pieris. This<br />
silvering indicates the presence of thrips.<br />
Spray oil to clean these up and reduce<br />
their numbers for spring. Collect diseased<br />
fallen leaves and place in the rubbish<br />
bin (not the organics bin).<br />
Spray the ground around infected<br />
plants with copper spray to help kill<br />
disease spores.<br />
Winter-hardy weeds can overrun the<br />
garden, making control in spring a nightmare.<br />
Spray with fast-acting glyphosate<br />
or dig out hard-to-kill weeds such as<br />
dock. Once weeding is done, fork compost<br />
through soil and mulch with a 10cm<br />
layer of fine bark or pea straw.<br />
gardening without guesswork<br />
Question:<br />
Can you please tell me what I need to do to care for the camellia’s I<br />
have in my garden? I haven’t done much with them since I moved<br />
in, and wondered what it is I need to do to keep them at their best?<br />
You will notice that your camellias have been blooming through the<br />
Answer: last months. Some varieties will have stopped blooming now, but some<br />
are still in flower. The end of winter is a great time to give them a feed of<br />
fertiliser, add some mulch and give them a wee rim. To feed them, use Intelligro Azalea, Camellia<br />
and Rhododendron fertiliser. They don’t require a lot, as<br />
this can cause more harm than good, so make sure you<br />
follow the application instructions are on the container.<br />
If you are unsure of anything, you can ask our friendly<br />
team if you have any further questions. A layer of our<br />
Organic Compost is also a great option to apply to your<br />
soil. Just remember to leave a ring around the base of<br />
your plant. This is especially important if you find that<br />
your soil is very heavy and needs something to improve drainage. It will<br />
also help to retain moisture in the soil, which will decrease the chances<br />
of drought-stress. Pruning to keep them in a tidy shape is recommended.<br />
Make sure that your secateurs are sharp so you get a clean cut. Pruning<br />
will also encourage new growth, so it definitely has its benefits. These<br />
are the main things to think about with your camellias. They are pretty<br />
care-free plants that will produce beautiful blooms through the wintery<br />
days. We hope this helps!<br />

MY PRIDE & JOY<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
A CAMARO TO DRIVE AND ENJOY<br />
Jason had been scrolling TradeMe,<br />
looking for a project car to restore when he<br />
saw a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro advertised for<br />
sale. The car looked interesting and being<br />
an american left-hand drive, it had more<br />
appeal for him than a more basic model of<br />
car so he thought it would be a good project.<br />
“The older 60s Camaros have been very<br />
popular which has priced them out of the<br />
range for many hobbyists. The 1970 to 1981<br />
second generation Camaro models are more<br />
affordable, which might explain why they’ve<br />
grown in popularity,” suggests Jason.<br />
When Jason purchased the Camaro, he<br />
said its condition was below average and<br />
while the paintwork had been re-sprayed,<br />
closer inspection showed that it was in poor<br />
condition.<br />
The Camaro was fitted with the basic<br />
305 cubic inch engine, which while more<br />
economical to run had in Jason’s words,<br />
no grunt so this was replaced with a 383<br />
engine.<br />
“It was typical of the era,” explains<br />
Jason. “Most american models were<br />
under-powered at the time to save on fuel<br />
consumption.”<br />
Jason started with a brand new roller cam<br />
block and contracted an engine builder,<br />
engine Reconditioning services in Tai Tapu<br />
to build the engine, which he then installed.<br />
The interior had what Jason described<br />
as a rather unattractive tacky grey interior<br />
so this was changed to black vinyl and<br />
after-market non genuine seats along with<br />
steering wheel were added.<br />
The Camaro is a three speed Th (turbo)<br />
350 automatic, two-door, four-seater coupe<br />
and Jason has added a replica of an L88<br />
hood scoop, along with chrome 17 inch<br />
wheels on the front and 18 inch wheels on<br />
the back to give the car a more staggered<br />
muscle car look.<br />
Jason says that it is a bit of a petrol guzzler<br />
due to the new motor though fun to drive<br />
and reasonably comfortable so a great<br />
weekend cruiser.<br />
he has taken the Camaro to the Ruapuna<br />
drag strip for a couple of social events,<br />
where it achieved 13.7 for the quarter mile.<br />
“It was a lot of fun and good to see what<br />
the car would do,” adds Jason who says the<br />
restoration took over five years.<br />
he has kept no record of the cost<br />
of restoring the car, with repairs and<br />
modifications carried out as money allowed.<br />
The car was able to be driven for most of<br />
that time, except for the last year when the<br />
car was painted a dark metallic blue colour.<br />
Jason now has the 1979 Chevrolet Camaro<br />
the way he wants it.<br />
“It’s what I always wanted but couldn’t<br />
afford to go out and buy brand new. While<br />
it’s been a roller coaster ride with ups,<br />
downs and some hurdles along the way, I<br />
really love it,” says Jason who confesses to<br />
having a feeling of satisfaction now that the<br />
car is finished.<br />
“I’m in no hurry to restore another car<br />
though I won’t rule it out. If I get bored<br />
again, then I’m likely to look for another<br />
project.”<br />

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS<br />
SAFE MOTORING IS<br />
A DELIBERATE ACT<br />
driving on country roads is dangerous.<br />
high speed accidents incur a higher<br />
mortality rate and catastrophic injuries<br />
leaving in their aftermath, grief for loved<br />
ones.<br />
“Improving roads, policing and more<br />
sophisticated vehicles have played a small<br />
part in road safety, however the biggest<br />
single cause of road accidents is driver<br />
error” says selwyn district Councillor, Jeff<br />
bland.<br />
The higher number of road deaths ever<br />
recorded was 843 in 1973, a much higher<br />
figure than recent years which suggests that<br />
road initiatives have had some impact and<br />
between 2011 and 2014, there were the least<br />
number of deaths recorded on new Zealand<br />
roads. The lowest was 253 in 2013 and the<br />
highest 308 in 2012. The authorities say<br />
this figure is still too high and most people<br />
would agree.<br />
Injuries caused by road accidents have<br />
been massively higher. In 2014, 11,219<br />
people were injured with a proportion<br />
having lasting effect on individuals and<br />
families, changing their lives forever.<br />
It is true, that the number of cars on the<br />
road has risen and the percentage of road<br />
deaths to cars has declined, dropping from<br />
23.1% in 1986 to 6.5% in 2014. however,<br />
recent figures show that the toll is increasing<br />
again suggesting that road safety messages<br />
are no longer effective.<br />
The road toll has fluctuated over the last<br />
five years but this year’s figures have climbed<br />
with 174 deaths to <strong>July</strong> <strong>2016</strong>, compared to<br />
165 at the same time last year.<br />
Jeff puts this down to a blaze, cavalier<br />
attitude and lack of responsibility or respect<br />
for others on the road.<br />
“during my career in the police, I<br />
attended thousands of road accidents. Most<br />
drivers blamed the vehicle or another driver<br />
and couldn’t see that they may have made a<br />
mistake,” explains Jeff. “People feel insulated<br />
in their cars and don’t think about driving<br />
carefully or to the conditions.”<br />
Part of the problem he says, is a purveying<br />
opinion that we are better drivers yet it<br />
only takes a moment’s inattention or one<br />
foolish act for an accident to occur on the<br />
road. When we put our foot down on the<br />
accelerator we have a lethal weapon under<br />
our control.<br />
“We’re often different people, even<br />
aggressive behind the wheel of a car,” adds<br />
Jeff. “We need to start taking personal<br />
responsibility on the roads and stop making<br />
excuses as to why crashes occur. Road<br />
accidents and deaths affect every person in<br />
this country in one way or other. bringing<br />
the road toll down will benefit us all.”<br />
Safe Driving means:<br />
• driving at a speed suitable for<br />
the road and weather.<br />
• anticipating situations and actions<br />
of other drivers.<br />
• Following at a safe distance – a<br />
2-4 second gap.<br />
• ensuring the road is clear before<br />
overtaking.<br />
• stopping at red lights and stop<br />
signs.<br />
• Turning car lights on when dull<br />
or dark.<br />
• not using a cellphone when<br />
driving.<br />
• observing speed limits and road<br />
signs.<br />
• Recognising that we can make<br />
mistakes on the road<br />

Farmers urged to<br />
stand for elections<br />
With nominations for this year’s local authority elections now open,<br />
Federated Farmers is calling on farmers and other business-minded people<br />
to consider standing for election.<br />
Federated Farmers’ Local<br />
Government spokesperson Katie milne<br />
said it was vitally important that we<br />
get good candidates to put themselves<br />
forward.<br />
“Being a councillor is a challenging role<br />
but farmers can make a real difference<br />
on councils as they can inform and<br />
educate their colleagues and staff about<br />
what happens on-farm. This is crucial for<br />
getting sensible, workable outcomes,” ms<br />
milne said.<br />
The way local government is funded,<br />
through property value based rates, has a<br />
big impact on farms’ financial viability.<br />
“The average farm now pays well over<br />
$10,000 per year in rates, which are often<br />
in the top 10 farm expenses. as a fixed<br />
cost there is no way for farms to cut back,<br />
short of selling up, during downturns like<br />
the current one in the dairy industry,” she<br />
said.<br />
“One of the most important council<br />
functions is to manage natural resources,<br />
including water, land and air. The<br />
development and implementation of<br />
regional plans and policies can and does<br />
have huge impacts on the way farms are<br />
run.<br />
“Farmers are also exposed to other<br />
council regulation like building and dog<br />
control, and bylaws for things like stock<br />
crossings and stock movement across and<br />
along roads.<br />
“Councils also provide infrastructure<br />
and services of value for farmers and<br />
for the rest of the community. roads are<br />
especially important for farms,” she said.<br />
Federated Farmers launched its <strong>2016</strong><br />
Local Government manifesto at the<br />
beginning of <strong>July</strong>.<br />
“The manifesto is a must read for<br />
anyone thinking of standing for council<br />
and not just for farmers. all aspiring<br />
candidates would do well to read a copy,”<br />
ms milne said.<br />
Nominations for the <strong>2016</strong> local authority<br />
elections opened on Friday, <strong>July</strong> 15 and<br />
will close at noon on Friday, august 12.<br />
Voting papers will be posted out from<br />
september 16 and they will need to be<br />
returned by noon on saturday, October 8.<br />

Baby Holden provides a Spark<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
THE UNDER $20,000 segment<br />
of the new car market has shown<br />
some resurgence in recent years.<br />
In recent decades it was an area<br />
where manufacturers didn’t place<br />
a big emphasis on – the margins<br />
were small and finding product<br />
wasn’t always easy.<br />
But being able to buy a new<br />
car at the same price as something<br />
pre-owned certainly has<br />
appeal, and there’s now a wealth<br />
of hatchbacks available here fresh<br />
from Asia – especially China,<br />
Japan and South Korea.<br />
One of the latter is Holden’s<br />
Barina Spark, which has been<br />
quite successful for GM Holden,<br />
with a new-generation model just<br />
landing.<br />
It arrives here in three variants<br />
starting at $16,490 for a manual<br />
LS variant (automatic $17,990),<br />
while an LT model tops out at<br />
$19,990 as tested.<br />
Although the Barina Spark<br />
shares its name, it is engineered<br />
a little differently to Barina; the<br />
Spark gets a 1.4-litre engine and<br />
continuously variable transmission,<br />
as opposed to a 1.6-litre<br />
unit and six-speed auto, and it<br />
sits on a floorpan with wheelbase<br />
and track just a little smaller than<br />
Barina.<br />
Nevertheless, the Spark appeals<br />
in other ways, it is most certainly<br />
designed to capture the imagination<br />
of the young, those buyers<br />
who want something new, as<br />
well as being trendy and funky. It<br />
comes with vivid colour schemes<br />
and an interior package which<br />
is bright and breezy, yet will also<br />
lure those from all generations<br />
who don’t have a big budget. The<br />
test car often captured attention,<br />
and not just from the younger<br />
set.<br />
Standard fitment on the high<br />
grade model is respectable given<br />
its price point. Major items<br />
include single-zone air conditioning,<br />
leather-like trim, keyless<br />
entry and ignition, electric<br />
windows all round, and Holden’s<br />
sophisticated MyLink infotainment<br />
system.<br />
The latter has been upgraded<br />
to include Android Auto and<br />
Apple CarPlay, the latter interacts<br />
with Apple product through a<br />
central dash panel screen. All of<br />
the mobile functions are available<br />
from there along with navigation<br />
and music accessibility.<br />
The Spark is also easy on fuel.<br />
Holden claim an Australian<br />
Design Rules combined average<br />
figure of 5.5-litres per<br />
100km (51mpg). The fuel usage<br />
readout was constantly listing<br />
around 6.2l/00km (46mpg) with<br />
5l/100km (56mpg) available at a<br />
HOLDEN BARINA SPARK: Appealing design.<br />
steady 100km/h cruise (engine<br />
speed 2000rpm).<br />
Powering the Spark is a<br />
brand new, four-cylinder, twincamshaft,<br />
16-valve unit which<br />
displaces 1298cc. Holden claim<br />
power outputs of 73kW and<br />
124Nm, both reaching their maximums<br />
at traditional points of the<br />
rev band, 6200rpm and 4400rpm<br />
respectively.<br />
Consequently, it’s no powerhouse,<br />
and this is reflected<br />
in slowish acceleration times<br />
– 11.2sec to make 100km/h<br />
from a standstill and 7sec to<br />
reach 120km/h from 80km/h.<br />
Realistically, I wouldn’t have<br />
expected anything quicker, the<br />
Spark is not here to scorch along,<br />
but to provide economical and<br />
comfortable travel like small cars<br />
are meant to do.<br />
However, you can stir the<br />
little engine up if you wish, the<br />
seamless gearing of CVT allows<br />
access to the upper rev band<br />
providing the sensation of sporty<br />
motion.<br />
One of the big surprises is the<br />
Spark’s handling and feel from<br />
behind the wheel. A lot of that<br />
has to do with the development<br />
work Holden has done in<br />
Australia for down under conditions.<br />
The steering and suspension<br />
calibration has been tuned<br />
for the type of roads we have<br />
• Price – Holden Barina<br />
Spark, $19,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
3595mm; width, 1595mm;<br />
height, 1476mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1399cc, 73kW,<br />
124Nm, continuously<br />
variable automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 11.2sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.5l/100km<br />
down under, including acceptability<br />
when presented with gravel<br />
surfaces.<br />
When it comes to tackling<br />
corners, the Spark has reasonable<br />
steering accuracy and front<br />
end precision. It must be<br />
mentioned that the front-strut/<br />
rear tube beam suspension<br />
isn’t sophisticated, yet it does a<br />
reasonably good job of soaking<br />
up the uneven road surfaces<br />
and containing body movement<br />
against the force of gravitational<br />
change.<br />
The Spark deserves to do<br />
well here, it’s a tough market<br />
to compete in but it stands out<br />
for its design appeal. It is the<br />
quintessential easy-to-drive, easyto-<br />
park vehicle and comes with<br />
all the benefits of buying new.<br />

accommodation and/or function facility, Taunton’s grounds include a recently<br />
resurfaced tennis court, complete with a stone pavilion, with separate shower<br />
and toilet facilities, plus kitchen. Picturesque day and night, summer through<br />
spring, the extensive gardens have been cleverly planned<br />
over the past 40 years to provide seasonal splendour.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
A SMART APPROACH<br />
TO BUILDING<br />
For those wanting to view house designs that have a floor<br />
space of less than 200 square metres, Milestone’s show home<br />
at Wigram Skies is worth a visit.<br />
9<br />
[Edition datE] 1<br />
The Runway 44 is a 188 square metre<br />
four bedroom home that has all the<br />
basics, from open plan living through to<br />
a standard double garage as well as extras<br />
like an ensuite and walk-in robe in the<br />
main bedroom.<br />
If you enjoy sharing time with your<br />
family, the layout of the living area in The<br />
Runway 44 is ideal. There is a generous<br />
allocation of windows with a slider that<br />
might be located on more than one wall,<br />
providing plenty of opportunity to watch<br />
the children playing outdoors.<br />
Overall, space has been utilised<br />
efficiently in this design. The hot water<br />
cylinder cupboard is centrally sited in<br />
the hallway close to all bedrooms and the<br />
living area. The laundry neatly tucks into<br />
the garage without taking up space. The<br />
entryway which opens onto the living<br />
area has a degree of separation, affording<br />
an element of privacy. There is a good<br />
sized kitchen that forms part of the<br />
living area.<br />
With lots of windows throughout the<br />
home including in the garage, there is<br />
good light. The design is also great for<br />
capitalising on free energy from the<br />
sun with the potential for the plan to be<br />
suitable for sections that have varying<br />
orientations towards north.<br />
There are opportunities too, for<br />
changes to the design such as increasing<br />
the size of the living area by pushing<br />
out a wall or shifting a doorway as with<br />
bedroom four that might become an<br />
ideal study and Milestone see their plans<br />
as a starting point for creating a home<br />
that suits the needs of those who live<br />
there.<br />
This home hints at affordability rather<br />
than displaying it openly yet there is a<br />
feeling of homeliness and comfort while<br />
providing all that is needed in a<br />
modern home.<br />
The house has an attractive street<br />
presence. Its combination of cladding,<br />
Rockcote plaster-finish with Palliside<br />
weatherboard and schist accents and<br />
small hardwood deck at the front door,<br />
harmonise well to create a favourable<br />
impression. The Corona Shake satin<br />
finish roof with a 25 degree slope is<br />
also a contrast to the long-run roofing<br />
iron often seen. All suggest ways to add<br />
a touch of class without blowing the<br />
budget.<br />
There is also plenty of patio area for<br />
outdoor living and opportunity to add<br />
more areas to take account of sun and<br />
wind direction.<br />
Built by Milestone Homes Canterbury,<br />
this is an appealing house that is suitable<br />
for a family, couple without children in<br />
the nest, or person living alone.<br />
If wanting a good sized yet not too<br />
large home, Milestone’s The Runway 44<br />
is worth viewing. As its name suggests,<br />
this show home can be found at 44 The<br />
Runway in Wigram Skies with it open<br />

Incorporating show homes<br />
in your planning process<br />
11<br />
There are many things<br />
to think about when<br />
you’re considering<br />
building a new home.<br />
BROWSIng SHOW homes is a fantastic way<br />
to get you thinking about practicalities, needs,<br />
aesthetics and your wish list! Here are a few<br />
consideration’s to help spark your planning<br />
process.<br />
• What is your exterior style? What kind of<br />
homes do you like? Look around and take a<br />
mental note of what you are drawn to most.<br />
• What kind of exterior materials do you<br />
like? Once you’ve worked out the look you<br />
like, research what materials are available<br />
and find out about durability.<br />
• How will you use your house? It’s important<br />
to most people to have a good indoor/<br />
outdoor flow and attractive, sheltered<br />
outdoor living. Imagine your home in<br />
various seasons.<br />
• Landscaping is important. Look around<br />
and consider what you like and don’t like.<br />
Are you a structured formal garden type or<br />
do you like a contemporary native style?<br />
• Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t<br />
just buzzwords anymore. It’s very important<br />
for your new home to be environmentally<br />
friendly. Research insulation requirements,<br />
solar hot water heating, ventilation options<br />
and new technology to ensure your home<br />
will be affordable to run.<br />
• Interior décor is really exciting. This is<br />
where show homes can really help you get<br />
to know current trends, colours, beautiful<br />
furnishings and furniture. Collect home<br />
magazines and figure out what you’d love<br />
to emulate.<br />
• Also pause to give thought to architectural<br />
components inside. Do you remember a<br />
raised ceiling? What kind of finishing do<br />
top homes use and which styles are you<br />
drawn to?<br />
• Heating is also a consideration. Have a look<br />
at what show homes are offering.<br />
• Kitchens form the heart of the house. Show<br />
homes give you insight into the latest styles,<br />
materials and storage facilities available.<br />
• Bathrooms are another big component.<br />
They need to be as luxurious as you can<br />
make them, so start dreaming.<br />

Energy efficient<br />
PLANNING<br />
By BuILDIng or renovating in smarter<br />
ways, we can reduce water consumption,<br />
keep power bills affordable and preserve<br />
the environment for generations to come.<br />
If you’re thinking of building, site your<br />
house to best utilise the sun.<br />
If you’re considering adding onto your<br />
house, think about the possibilities<br />
of extending on the northern side of<br />
your house, where you can enhance the<br />
usefulness of outdoor living space as well.<br />
All water use has environmental impacts.<br />
Making water conservation decisions<br />
today helps ensure that there will be ample<br />
supplies for the next generation and sets<br />
habits that have good long-term economic<br />
benefits in metered areas.<br />
Old hot water heaters can lose up to 15<br />
per cent of total hot water energy cost, but<br />
you can redress that through wrapping the<br />
cylinder effectively. uninsulated hot water<br />
pipes also rob the water of heat before it<br />
reaches its destination.<br />
Pipe insulation is inexpensive and<br />
effective in keeping water hot all the way<br />
to the tap. An on demand hot water switch<br />
circulates water in the pipes until it is hot,<br />
saving power and water, and increasing<br />
your comfort. Old toilet cisterns are<br />
particularly wasteful of water. Modern ones<br />
use significantly less.<br />
Saving electricity can be as simple as<br />
changing the kind of light bulb you’re<br />
using. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are<br />
more expensive, but they use one quarter<br />
the electricity of an incandescent bulb and<br />
last 10 times as long. Likewise, appliances<br />
have become much more energy efficient.<br />
Look for their energy rating<br />
when buying a new fridge or freezer.<br />
Insulation is an excellent investment all<br />
round, so consider increasing the amount<br />
of insulation throughout the house if<br />
you’re planning to build or while you’re<br />
renovating. It will pay for itself in just a few<br />
years and you’ll be more comfortable.<br />
It’s common sense to take advantage of<br />
the heat from the sun whenever possible.<br />
Passive solar design, orienting windows<br />
to the north with overhangs, is a no-cost<br />
option that can reduce heating costs by 20<br />
to 30 per cent.<br />
Passive cooling uses prevailing breezes,<br />
shading and natural plantings to keep the<br />
home cool all summer long without<br />
air conditioning.<br />
Active solar hot water heating is a<br />
cost-effective alternative to conventional<br />
hot water heating that can pay for itself<br />
in as few as even years. Advances in<br />
technology have improved efficiency and<br />
durability of systems considerably.<br />
A little preliminary thought on how your<br />
new home or addition can improve the way<br />
you live, long term, pays for itself<br />
very quickly.
