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

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

Call 03 390 2332 today
““““I understand why people procrastinate
and put it off but really, hearing is so
important, it needs to be highter on our
collective list of priorites. Nine out of
ten people I see say “I wish I had got my
hearing sorted sooner.” They experience
the instant benefit and it has such a positive
impact on their day to day lives.”

It is in discussions with the

Rea said.
The Rotary Club of Lincoln
decided to start running a Menz
Shed in Lincoln two years ago so
retired men could stay social and

There are currently 45 ‘sheddies’

The group hopes to have a

ROLLESTON’S Masefield Drive
could be in line for $150,000
upgrade which would see a
footpath and kerbing installed
along a 320m section.
The district council will vote
tomorrow on whether to add the
project to the current Annual
Plan.
Funding comes from an unbudgeted
Sicon dividend which
has now been added to the annual
budget.
Masefield Drive is classified
as an arterial road, and is a key
route to the town centre
carrying about 4000 vehicles
per day.
The Malvern Community
Board are also considering getting
a Menz Shed up and running
in the ward.

District councillor Mark
Alexander expected residents
would be pleased at the investment.
“It’s an area that used to be
rural residential so it didn’t have

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

COMPUTERS ON FARMS
Lincoln University’s role in
making the computer one of
the essential tools on the farm is
told in a new book by Dr Peter
Nuthall, an honorary associate
professor in Lincoln’s Department
of Land Management and
Systems. Dare to Compute. The
early years in the development and
uptake of farm computer systems
is written about the Kellogg Farm
Management Unit at Lincoln,
which Dr Nuthall founded and
was head of for all but two years
of its existence, from 1980 to 1995.
SKATE PARK SITE
The site of the former children’s
playground near the Springfield
donut is being considered as
a possible skate park location.
Local teenager Cohen Earl, 12,
recently suggested a skate park
for Springfield and his idea has
won support from the Malvern
Community Board and the
Springfield Township Committee.
ELECTION CANDIDATES
Nominations for candidates for
local elections in October are
open until noon on August 12.
Candidates must be nominated
on an official nomination form

Selwyn history in print
• By Tom Doudney
DAYS GONE BY: Rolleston in the late 1950s. Celebrations
planned to mark the town’s 150th anniversary have inspired a
new book on Selwyn’s history. ​
A NEW book which would be
the first to extensively cover
Selwyn’s history is in the works.
The impetus for the book came
out of planning for Rolleston’s
150th anniversary celebrations
in October.
District council staff member
Wayne Stack, who has a masters
degree in military history,
volunteered to write it after an
approach from district councillor
and Rolleston anniversary
committee chairman Jeff Bland.
It is expected to take 12 to 18
months to complete.
Mr Stack said the exact scope
of the book has yet to be decided
but it was likely to be a substantial
work covering the history of
the whole district, rather than
just the Rolleston area.
“There have been books written
about the Ellesmere county
and the Malvern county which
were part of the amalgamation
to bring Selwyn together but
there is nothing there to actually
put Selwyn on the map as a
district in itself,” he said.
Selwyn was formed in 1989
when the Ellesmere and Malvern
counties and the rural half of the
Paparua county were amalgamated.
Cr Bland said the writing of
the book was an exciting development.
A previous book had
covered the history of Rolleston
up until the period before the
town’s growth had really taken
off but with the milestone coming
up it was important to have a
book which also reflected recent
history.
“Since we have been talking
about this 150th it has become
obvious that we need to update
our history,” he said.
“We think of history as 40, 50,
60 years ago but hang on, history
is yesterday as well.”
Mr Stack will also be working
on a display of historic photographs
and other items from the
Rolleston area which will be part
of the 150th anniversary celebrations.
It will be one of a number of
displays and events to take place
over three days from October 14
to 16. The main celebrations will
be held on October 15 at a site
on the corner of Jones Rd and
Hoskyns Rd.
•Anyone able to contribute
historic photographs, or
other items and material
which might help Mr Stack
with compiling the book and
150th anniversary exhibit
can phone 347 2851.
Roundabout work to start
WORK WILL start within a
week on changes to a five-legged
roundabout in Rolleston.
The Goulds Rd, Tennyson St,
Springtson Rolleston Rd and
Lowes Rd roundabout is ‘not
suitable’ for the growing amount
of traffic using it.
The access to the roundabout
from Goulds Rd will be cut off
later this month and will be
permanently closed from August
1, changing the current five-road
intersection to four.
Goulds Rd will become a dead
end near the dog park.
The Selwyn Times previously
reported that the Rolleston Residents
Association and Rolleston
College has safety concerns
around students navigating the
roundabout once Rolleston College
opens next year.
Broadlands Drive has been
extended past the college
to create a roundabout at
Springston Rolleston Rd.
The extension to Broadlands
Drive past the college to create
a roundabout at Springston
Rolleston Rd have finished so
now work to change the fivelegged
roundabout will begin.
District council asset manager
of transportation, Andrew
Mazey said the changes will be
made because the roundabout
has had an increasing amount of
traffic use it .
“The existing layout of the
roundabout as a five-road junction
is not suitable given the
growing vehicle numbers and
the change is designed to improve
the roundabout’s safety,”
Mr Mazey said.
During the work on the
roundabout people will still be
able to access it from Goulds Rd
until August 1.
Traffic lights are planned to be
put in place at the intersection in
three year’s time.

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

They have five loan cars. The mechanics note servicing and repairs that will
be due in the future while WOF, service and recommendation reminders are
sent out to clients.
A new mechanic, Fyn has also joined Mark, Sam, Matt and Macca in the
workshop, supported by apprentices, Will and Isaac and four efficient office
staff (Jamie and Leona, full-time and Ellie and Sarah, part-time), along
with after-school helpers, Matt and Dylan who keep the workshop tidy and
loan cars clean.
“Our team’s awesome. It’s a polite and happy group including Rosie our dog,”
adds Leona.

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

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

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

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

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

Sunday 6 November
21.1km, 10km, 5km & 1400m Kids Dash
So many of us think about getting fit or running a marathon but
the hardest part is making the commitment. So to avoid yet
another year disappearing without getting off the couch sign
up for the Shoe Clinic Selwyn Running Festival on 6 November
2016.
This local event, held in Leeston, is in its 6th year and gaining
momentum. There is a distance for everyone from the Half
Marathon to the Kids Dash as well as walking events. There is
even a three person team category in the 10km run.
The course starts in Leeston and runs the rural roads to
Southbridge and beyond. There is no better feeling as you turn
the last bend and head for home down the main road of Leeston
with the locals lining the street cheering you on.
We want to encourage all runners and walkers whether this is
your first event or you are an elite runner. By signing up now
you have made your first step to achieving your goal.
LINCOLN ROAD RUNNERS
LRR is the newest of the Road Runner groups and makes use of the
roads in and around Lincoln University. We are lucky to have the
full support of the University and are super proud to be hosting our
weekly community group there.
The Rec Centre is the ideal home for the group and the ‘figure 8’
course means you are never far from home. This is a group, like
Ellesmere and Malvern Road Runners, that caters to all abilities. It is
a fantastic chance for the public to (re)acquaint themselves with
the university and we appreciate the use of their grounds and
facilities.
Everyone is welcome so come along on Tuesday evenings from
5.40pm and join in with the active Lincoln community!!
ENGAGE: Lincoln’s forwards prepare for a scrum battle with a big Ashburton
College pack.

Selwyn residents are being invited to celebrate the Rio Olympics and support St John’s project to
build a new facility in Rolleston with a fun afternoon of games and awards at the Selwyn Aquatic
Centre on Saturday 6 August.
The Olympic Games will officially open in Rio de Janeiro on Friday 5 August (the morning of 6
August New Zealand Time) and 195 New Zealand athletes will be competing in 19 sports.
“We’re excited to host a fun event which everyone in Selwyn can be part of to celebrate the start
of the Olympics,” says Aquatic Facilities Manager Kathy Moore. “This is also an opportunity to
celebrate the contribution everyone who has been part of our Swim to Rio challenge has made to
helping raise funds for a local facility for St John while improving their fitness at the same time.”
The Swim to Rio challenge has been running since February with a target for swimmers to cover
a combined distance of 11,765 kilometres – the distance from Lyttelton to Rio de Janeiro. There
has been full community support through sponsorship of swimmers, sausage sizzles, raffles,
donations and a bake sale with the funds going to the Rolleston St John project. Over 10,000
kilometres has been completed to date.
The Aquatic Olympics on Saturday 6 August will run between 2-4pm at the centre. Swim to Rio
Challenge participants who have covered the longest distance will be recognised with an award at
a podium presentation. A cheque from the challenge will also be presented to St John.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the event which will include Olympic-themed water games
like javelin noodle throw, aquatic sprints and paddle boat relay races.
“We’re inviting ‘Olympic’ competitors both young and old to enter the games and dress up in the
colours of the country they want to represent,” says Kathy Moore. “We are looking forward to the
day and we think it will be fantastic fun.”
There will also be music, spot prizes sponsored by Speedo and a bake sale with the profits going
to St John. Normal pool entry admission prices apply. Swimmers are requested not to wear face
paint in the pool.
Building Expo for
Construction Industry
If you work in trade or construction our friendly building team is
looking forward to talking with you at the BuildNZ expo coming up
at Horncastle Arena from Thursday 4 – Saturday 6 August. The expo
is for those in the construction and trade industry and is free for
industry representatives to attend, but you need to register first (visit
www.canterburybuildnz.co.nz to do this).
BuildNZ showcases a variety of new products and services like
home automation, cladding, insulation, timber and more. There will
be a wide range of exhibitors along with some optional free short
seminar sessions on various topics.
The Council’s building team will be at the expo to talk about our
building inspection process and how we could improve this service
and answer questions about the building consent process.
New library kiosks coming soon
Selwyn Libraries are rolling out new kiosks at each library branch
over the next month and staff are looking forward to showing you
how quick and easy they are use.
Lincoln and Rolleston library customers have been using self-issue
kiosks for over a year now. The kiosks can be used to issue library
items, see what items you have on loan, renew items and pay any
charges via cash or EFTPOS.
Represent your community in local elections
Nominations for candidates for local elections are now open until 12 noon on 12 August 2016.
Local councils provide a wide range of services to the community like parks, libraries, roads,
community centres, water, events and civil defence and by standing for election you can help make
decisions about how services should be provided.
Anyone over the age of 18 can stand for election if they are a New Zealand citizen and on the electoral
roll. Candidates must be nominated on an official nomination form available during opening hours from
Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln Library and the Council’s Rolleston Headquarters. A form can also be

electors on the electoral roll in the ward or subdivision that the person is nominated for.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cottage, meeting house/studio and stables, surrounded by lush gardens,
sitting in complete privacy, & secluded from passers-by. A magical setting and

accommodation and/or function facility, Taunton’s grounds include a recently
resurfaced tennis court, complete with a stone pavilion, with separate shower
and toilet facilities, plus kitchen. Picturesque day and night, summer through
spring, the extensive gardens have been cleverly planned
over the past 40 years to provide seasonal splendour.
This offering is your chance of a lifetime to acquire a historic
home in one of New Zealand’s most charismatic, vibrant and
supportive seaside communities.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
A SMART APPROACH
TO BUILDING
For those wanting to view house designs that have a floor
space of less than 200 square metres, Milestone’s show home
at Wigram Skies is worth a visit.
9
[Edition datE] 1
The Runway 44 is a 188 square metre
four bedroom home that has all the
basics, from open plan living through to
a standard double garage as well as extras
like an ensuite and walk-in robe in the
main bedroom.
If you enjoy sharing time with your
family, the layout of the living area in The
Runway 44 is ideal. There is a generous
allocation of windows with a slider that
might be located on more than one wall,
providing plenty of opportunity to watch
the children playing outdoors.
Overall, space has been utilised
efficiently in this design. The hot water
cylinder cupboard is centrally sited in
the hallway close to all bedrooms and the
living area. The laundry neatly tucks into
the garage without taking up space. The
entryway which opens onto the living
area has a degree of separation, affording
an element of privacy. There is a good
sized kitchen that forms part of the
living area.
With lots of windows throughout the
home including in the garage, there is
good light. The design is also great for
capitalising on free energy from the
sun with the potential for the plan to be
suitable for sections that have varying
orientations towards north.
There are opportunities too, for
changes to the design such as increasing
the size of the living area by pushing
out a wall or shifting a doorway as with
bedroom four that might become an
ideal study and Milestone see their plans
as a starting point for creating a home
that suits the needs of those who live
there.
This home hints at affordability rather
than displaying it openly yet there is a
feeling of homeliness and comfort while
providing all that is needed in a
modern home.
The house has an attractive street
presence. Its combination of cladding,
Rockcote plaster-finish with Palliside
weatherboard and schist accents and
small hardwood deck at the front door,
harmonise well to create a favourable
impression. The Corona Shake satin
finish roof with a 25 degree slope is
also a contrast to the long-run roofing
iron often seen. All suggest ways to add
a touch of class without blowing the
budget.
There is also plenty of patio area for
outdoor living and opportunity to add
more areas to take account of sun and
wind direction.
Built by Milestone Homes Canterbury,
this is an appealing house that is suitable
for a family, couple without children in
the nest, or person living alone.
If wanting a good sized yet not too
large home, Milestone’s The Runway 44
is worth viewing. As its name suggests,
this show home can be found at 44 The
Runway in Wigram Skies with it open
12-4pm, Thursdays to Sundays.

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

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