Videolink medical plan
• By Tom Doudney
A PROPOSED 24-hour medical
facility in Rolleston could see doctors
at Christchurch Hospital giving
instructions to nurses via videolink
to provide around-the-clock care for
Selwyn residents.
And the facility could later be expanded
to include other health services.
The proposal has come out of discussions
between the district council,
Selwyn Times Canterbury District Health Board and
266mm x 90mm St John.
Grant Miller District councillors Grant Miller
and mayoral candidate Pat McEvedy,
who have been representing the district
council in the discussions, said they believed
the proposal has a strong chance
of going ahead.
The district council is considering using
land it owns next to the new St John
Selwyn Central base for the facility.
While telemedicine, the remote diagnosis
and treatment of patients via videolink
and other digital technology, has
been used before in Canterbury, this
would be the first time the approach
had been used to operate an after hours
acute service.
Patients could be triaged and assessed
before having treatment at the facility
or, in more serious cases, being sent on
to Christchurch.
Cr Miller said a 24-hour medical centre
with doctors on site was not feasible
in Selwyn as a population of well over
100,000 would be required to sustain it.
The telemedicine approach was a viable
alternative.
“We’re pretty positive at the council
that we can make this happen,” he said.
“We have a good core of people working
on it and we hope to turn it into
reality pretty soon.” •Turn to page 4

ROLLESTON’S HEARINGHEAR ine
“I was in denial, pure and simple. My family were
bringing it up more often with a gentle nudging
to “do something about it.” My ability to hear
accurately was impacting on my whole life and for
what ever reason, I wasn’t convinced that hearing
aids would make much difference.
I am a parent, grandparent and teacher. Conversations
were becoming increasingly difficult. I compensated
and modified my interactions to cope
but I was being robbed on personal enjoyment, on
social occasions, family occasions, everyday life.
I had been to another bigger hearing clinic 3
years ago. I left without a solution to my hearing
problem because the interview and testing was
less about me and more about a company selling
a product. It was a mechanical process and I left
despondent. I was losing my hearing and that
is personal, I needed it dealt with in a personal
manor.
Recently I happen to have a couple of conversations
with friends and colleagues who had or were getting
hearing aids. Their feedback on how fabulous
hearing aids were was so positive. They mentioned
Brenna Sincock Hearing. Right people, right time,
right conversations and all of a sudden I was spurred
into action and had booked into see Brenna.
I am not sure that I can do justice in describing
Brenna’s approach. Brenna is infinitely professional,
kind and understanding. Brenna instantly put
me at ease with her friendly nature and lead me
through an interview that really exposed my heart
and motivation as to why I would want to rectify
this increasing inability to participate more fully
in my life! Brenna gave me time and patience. She
fitted hearing aids and I was overcome by the how
much more I could hear.
We have had follow up appointments since and
adjusted the aids. I know I have her support and
can call her with questions at the drop of a hat.
That personal connection, for me, is important for
dealing with something as important as hearing.
In the short time that I have had my hearing aids
they have re-enhanced my life in immeasurable
ways. At school, I no longer have to ask children
to repeat themselves, my colleagues will have
noticed the difference in me, it just such a relief.
LOVE YOUR HEARING
Call 03 390 2332 today
My own family are elated, to make an understatement,
but also proud of me for having had the
courage making this decision.
Hearing is a precious gift. Thank you Brenna for
your gentle professional explanations and support.
I highly recommend Brenna Sincock and her
business to anyone who may feel they have any
hearing loss. Don’t leave it for seven years, like I
did!” - Sharen Holmes

Ill miss out on doctors’
appointments
• By Tom Doudney
FREE DOCTORS’ visits for
under 13-year-olds has led to
children with minor ailments
taking appointments from those
in greater need, a Rolleston
doctor says.
Rolleston Central Health
managing director Dr Philip
Schroeder said that the policy,
introduced by the Government
on July 1 last year, had had a
huge impact on general practices
in Selwyn and across Canterbury.
“We are often seeing all those
very well under 13s taking appointments
for what effectively
are just basic colds for which
they never would have been seen
in the past,” Dr Schroeder said.
“Something I am hearing
across all Selwyn practices is that
we are finding it very difficult to
see those that really need care
because the urgent appointments
are being taken up by children
who are, by and large, relatively
well.”
Dr Schroeder said that for
all the children in the under
13 group that were seen at his
practice, probably only one in 10
really needed to be.
TIME IS PRECIOUS: Dr Philip Schroeder (left), says free visits for under 13s mean a lot of
appointments are being taken by children who don’t need to see a doctor.
Many presented with minor
coughs and colds and would
have been better off being treated
at home.
When the practice couldn’t
fit in someone who needed an
urgent appointment, they were
referred to a 24-hour facility in
Christchurch.
Dr Schroeder, who is chairman
of the Canterbury Primary Pandemic
Group, said the shortage
of urgent appointments times
was particularly difficult during
the winter when influenza
and other viral infections were
circulating.
Ministry of Health community
health group manager Andrew
Inder said the new policy appeared
to have been effective at
improving access to primary
care for children aged under 13.
General practice teams could
decide how to best manage their
patients in ways that worked best
for their enrolled population.
“For instance, it could mean
that children aged under 13 are
initially triaged by a nurse, at
which point it can be decided
whether an appointment with a
GP is required,” Mr Inder said.
Rolleston resident Jenny
Fitzgerald said her adult
daughter had found it hard to
get an appointment at Rolleston
Central Health when she needed

an infection in her hand treated
with antibiotics recently.
She had initially been told she
would either have to wait two
days or visit a 24-hour service
in Christchurch, although as it
turned out they did manage to fit
her in the next day.
“I just felt it wasn’t good
enough,” Mrs Fitzgerald said.

DECISION EXPECTED
The outcome of the Rolleston
Reserve Land exchange proposal
is expected tomorrow. The
decision on developing over half
of the reserve into a commercial
area went to the hearings
panel last month. The district
council received 50 submissions
opposing the idea. Only nine
supported it.
CRASH INJURIES
A Rolleston woman and
a Christchurch man were
recovering in Christchurch
Hospital yesterday after being
involved in a crash at the
intersection of Main South
Rd and Weedons Ross Rd on
Sunday at about 10am. Sergeant
Dan Harker said the woman,
who was the sole occupant of her
car, pulled out onto Main South
Rd in front of the man who was
on a motor-cycle.
SKATE PARK UPDATED
Work on the skate park in
Darfield has finally finished. The
redevelopment of the skate area
at Westview Park has now been
completed. New ramps have
been added to the skate area, as
well as a shade cover.
Introducing John Sunckell –
ECan candidate
A third generation farmer from Leeston,
married to Karen with two children, I have
been involved with St John Ambulance
in Selwyn for the past 34 years and also
participate and lead in many other sports
and community groups.
For five years I have been involved with
the Selwyn/Waihora Zone Committee and
also with the development of the Selwyn
Waihora subchapter.
I am standing for ECan in the knowledge
that we are changing practices and moving
our environmental footprint forward with
a population also accepting of the need for
change.
To overcome and continually improve the
environmental challenges we face, genuine
engagement on farm and in our vibrant
rural communities is required – working
together.
As well as environment issues, ECan
is also about the continued building of
infrastructure, connectivity and transport
vital for our future in Canterbury –
especially in the rural hinterland.
Our governors need a collaborative approach
to take us and our communities forward.
I believe that with my strong community
focus and knowledge of water and
agriculture, I will make a strong governor
for Canterbury and representative for Mid
Canterbury.

MORE THAN $26,000 was
raised for a West Melton girl in
need of a kidney transplant.
A total of $26,218.10 has been
donated to 12-year-old Maddie

recently for her.
Maddie Collins is in need
of a kidney transplant and her
best hopes of finding a suitable

the United States. The trip is
expected to cost $350,000.
The ball was held on September
3 and the money was raised
from ticket sales, donations and
an auction.
Fundraising efforts continue
with a national mufti day
planned for this Friday.
West Melton School is joining
the fundraising efforts to help
ex-pupil Maddie.
The event has been put
together for schools and businesses
across the country to get
involved in.
West Melton School principal
Sue Jackson said the school had
no hesitation in getting involved
in ‘Mufti Day for Maddie.’
“We were touched by Maddie
and her family when she was a
student here. Maddie is such a
wonderful girl who has so much
to offer. Taking part in this event
is the least we can do.
“We often have mufti days
for good causes. I can’t think
of a better one than this,” Mrs
Jackson said.

Frustration over church repairs
• By Tom Doudney
SIX YEARS after the
September 2010 earthquake,
the Hororata community is
still in the dark about when its
badly damaged heritage church
will be restored.
When the 7.1 magnitude
earthquake hit, the bell tower of
St John’s Anglican Church toppled
and fell through the roof.
Hororata Community
Trust trustee Olive Webb said
many in the community had
expressed frustration with the
lack of visible progress on fixing
the church.
“After the earthquake this
building was surrounded by
people from the community,
some of whom were regular
church goers and some weren’t,
who were weeping at the
destruction of the church,” she
said.
“We are constantly asked:
‘What’s the time frame, what’s
happening?’ and all we can tell
them is that we are waiting on
a response from [the Church
Property Trustees].”
HCT has put a proposal to
the Church Property Trust on
how they can work together
towards restoring the church.
HCT sees its role as fundraising

Pub back advertising liquor
• By Tom Doudney
THE Hospitality Association
of New Zealand has welcomed
a “precedent-setting’’ ruling
which allows the Prebbleton
Tavern to advertise its offlicence
alcohol prices to
passers-by.
The Gilmore family, who own
the bar and bottle store, had
appealed the Selwyn District
Licensing Committee’s decision
to add a new condition prohibiting
it from advertising alcohol
outside the premises when
renewing its liquor off-licence
last year.
In its decision released last
week, the Alcohol Regulatory
and Licensing Authority
ordered the condition be removed.
Hospitality Association
regional manager Amy
McLellan-Minty said it was a
very good and sensible decision
to overturn the “unjustified”
condition.
“I’m just really happy for the
Gilmores because they can get
back to what they have been doing
for the past 30 years.”
She believed the case would
set a precedent for other offlicensed
premises which wished
to advertise prices outside.
The district licensing committee’s
chairman Al Lawn
said that “as with all judicial
precedent, the committee will
take it into account when considering
future alcohol licence
applications.”
When imposing the condition,
the district licensing
committee had stated that
advertising outside the premises
detracted from the amenity of
the locality and placed alcohol
“in the faces of those who pass
by.”
However, Mr Gilmore had argued
that it wasn’t fair to limit
advertising for his off-licence
when supermarkets and other
alcohol retailers were able to
advertise more freely; and that
there was no evidence of harm
caused by the signage.
In summarising its decision,
ARLA found that the
condition was unreasonable
because the district licensing
committee had failed to provide
supporting evidence that the
signage would increase the
risk of alcohol-related harm or
detract from the amenity of the
locality.
Tavern manager Shannon
Gilmore said he was ecstatic
about the decision.
“I’m happy that the process
was followed and the right
outcome has happened at the

end of the day. Unfortunately,
it has been at the cost of our
business and our trade,” Mr
Gilmore said.
The decision comes hard
on the heals of another bit of
good news for the tavern which
has been named as one of 10
national finalists in a competition
to find the best pub which
serves Guinness.

Digitise your
Selwyn photo
SELWYN LIBRARIES are inviting
residents to find photos from
Rolleston’s past and present and
have them digitised for display at
the Rolleston 150 th celebrations.
Rolleston Library will host a digitisation
day on September 25 from
1-5pm.
Selwyn Libraries manager Vicki
Carlyon said along with photos
from Rolleston’s past, recent images
would also be considered for display
at the Rolleston 150 th celebration in
October,
“The images will help create a
story about Rolleston’s origins and
how the town has developed over
time,” she said.
“These could include photos of
local landmarks like schools, major
shops and parks, people at work and
at play, important events in our history
and other images that create a
picture of what life was and is like in
Rolleston.”
People could bring along images,
slides and negatives they had at home
which would appeal to the wider
public so that they could be digitised.
People would also need to sign an
agreement allowing libraries to keep
a copy of images in Selwyn Libraries
digital collection for future use.
Anyone who would like a digital
copy of their image would need
to take a USB stick with sufficient
memory.

Keep organic bin contents loose. Don’t compact your
material by standing on it (it may not come out when
tipped by the truck).
Place weeds, branchy material or newspaper at the
bottom of the bin before filling with grass clippings.
This reduces the likelihood of the grass clippings
getting stuck.
Organics only! Absolutely NO plastic bags!
No metals, glass, rocks or stones, bricks or
rubbish please. These cause considerable
damage to the organics shredder.
Put flax and cabbage leaves in your rubbish.
Make sure your bin is not over full – the lid
must close.

Head girl to
lose locks
• By Devon Bolger
LINCOLN HIGH’S head girl
Elin Harris will say goodbye to
her long locks in the name of
charity.
Tomorrow Elin and six other
students will shave their heads
to raise money for the not-forprofit
CanTeen organisation.
Collectively the
students have
raised almost
$3000 but they
hope to get more
before the event.
CanTeen is an
organisation that
raises money for and supports
young people around the
country with cancer.
Elin (above) said shaving her
head to support CanTeen has been
an idea of hers for several years.
“This has been something I
have wanted to do since I started
high school in 2012,”
“To me, shaving my head is
not only about raising money,
but awareness – awareness for
all New Zealand teenagers that
continue to fight every day,” Elin
said.

HEAD TO HEAD: Either the Lincoln High School first XV rugby team (left), or the school’s first XI football team will lose their leg hair
tomorrow.
Hair-raising thought of a loss
• By Devon Bolger
FOR THE first time in Lincoln
High School history, the first XV
rugby team, and first XI football
team, will be going head-to-head.
Each team has been tasked
with trying to raise as much
money as possible for the nonprofit
CanTeen organisation by
September 14.
The team that raises the most
money gets to wax the losing
players’ legs in an event that will
be showcased in the school hall
at the annual head shaving. The
head boy and head girl will also
take part.
The event is in conjunction
with the Lincoln High School’s
‘Doing Good Campaign’. It
focuses on the students raising a
goal of $20,000 for charities during
the year.
This event for CanTeen is
expected to raise $3000. It will
bring the total to $19,000 so far.
The football team has recently
been crowned the regional first
XI champions by defeating Cashmere
High School, 2-1.
The first XV rugby team have
not done so well this season.
It’s a battle about more than
just losing leg hair; the rugby
team desperately want to see the
football team knocked down a
peg.
Rugby captain, Duncan Finlayson
said losing to the football
team is not an option.
“We’re all really keen to beat
the first XI boys – they’ve had
a winning streak that needs to
stop now. We’re all really keen to
raise awareness and money for a
fantastic cause,” Duncan said.
Football captain, Mason Stearn
is not too worried about the
competition the rugby team are
bringing.
“This is just another
opportunity for the first XI boys
to claim another win,” Mason
said.
The idea of waxing their legs
was thought up by rugby player
Simon Lancaster and both teams
were happy to get behind the
idea, although very wary.
“I hope that I never have to wax
my legs. Hence why we’re all trying
really hard to beat the first XI
lads” Duncan said.
The winning team will be
revealed tomorrow.

IT SEEMS to me that the
winter here in Selwyn this year
has been warmer and drier
than usual.
I’m not a meteorologist
though, so I won’t speculate
on the causes of this entirely
subjective observation.
What we know, however, is
that scientists agree that our
earth’s climate is changing and
global emissions are a significant
factor in this change.
The Government is taking
the issue of climate change
seriously, which is why we have
set an ambitious goal for New
Zealand to reduce its greenhouse
gas emissions to 30 per
cent below 2005 levels by 2030.
This will require a massive effort
across all sectors of society
from local and central Government
through to businesses,
iwi and communities.
We have also announced
our intention to ratify the
Paris agreement on climate
change before the UN’s
Framework Convention on
Climate Change conference in
November this year. Ratifying
this year will formalise
New Zealand’s commitment
to addressing climate change
and help support worldwide
momentum towards lowering
global emissions.
The Paris agreement was
finalised in December last
year, when 180 countries that
contribute 99 per cent of global
emissions set reduced emissions
targets.
Ratifying the agreement
early gives our support to the
global momentum to implement
the agreement and helps
ensure we have a strong voice
at the table as the details of
the agreement are negotiated.
Ratifying will also build on the
solid work already being done
by New Zealanders to reduce
our emissions.
China and the US, which
are jointly responsible for just
under 40 per cent of global
emissions, have indicated they
will ratify this year, as have
Australia and Canada.
The Government already
has a number of initiatives
underway as part of our work
programme to address climate
change.
These actions include:
•Reviewing and strengthening
the Emissions Trading
Scheme to ensure it is fit for
purpose and is encouraging
emissions reductions and tree
planting
•Investing millions each year
to fund agriculture research
to help the primary sector
become more efficient and less
emissions-intensive
•Spending a record $1.2 billion
over three years on public
transport and encouraging the
uptake of electric vehicles
•Increasing the amount of
electricity that comes from
renewable energy from 80 per
cent currently to 90 per cent
•And developing measures
on energy and fuel efficiency.
To help ensure we’re on the
right track to reduce emissions
and meet our ambitious target,
we are also setting up three
technical advisory groups
covering adaptation, biological
emissions and forestry. This
is a big global issue and it is
important that we get our
response right.

Fewer car parks not bad for business
Spokes
Canterbury
chairman Don
Babe responds
to editor Barry
Clarke’s view
on the removal of car
parking on the main
street of Lincoln in last
week’s edition
You are not the first nor will
you be the last to jump to the
conclusion that less car parking
outside businesses means
less customers.
This has been researched
many times around the world
and I am not aware of any
results that show business
declining when car parking is

moved.
The most well-known
example is from New York,
where business grew by 47 per
cent when car parking was
removed.
I understand that Lincoln is
not New York, but similar research
has been done in Te Aro
in Wellington and Beckenham
in Christchurch with results
in the same direction, if not of
the same magnitude.
I live 5km from Lincoln
and feel no desire to go there
because there is little chance
I will meet anyone I know,
despite being in the area for 25
years and raising a family here.
The Christmas fete is great
because people are milling
about and there is a good
chance I will meet someone I
know.
I will not go there to watch
cars go by or park. Making
the main road more peoplefriendly
will have more people
in the street so will attract visitors
and likely customers.
How do businesses think
that having two car parks in
front of their business will get
more customers? It is likely the
car parks are full of long-term
parkers so they are completely
ineffective.
The car park north of the
library is a great location and
should be duplicated. It supplies
a number of car parks
and is not far from the main
street, probably closer to destinations
than on street parking
would be.
The staff at Selwyn District
Council have made good plans
to energise Lincoln village,
they are to be commended.

Volunteer work at home and abroad
Chris Allan started the
Joshua Foundation 11
years ago, which helps
troubled youth in the city.
The Rolleston man spoke
to Caitlin Miles about
how the army saved him
from a bad path, serving
in Sierra Leone and
throwing people out of
planes.
Chris can you tell me a bit
about the Joshua Foundation?
Well, it started with the aim to
help troubled and at risk youth.
Now it is about helping all young
people, getting them integrated
into and working with their local
community better. We do a lot of
work with youth all around Canterbury
even though we are based
in Rolleston. Living out here is
close to Burnham Military Camp
which is good since I still work in
the reserve army.
Why did you move to
Rolleston?
To provide our children with
an opportunity to learn how to
be self-sustainable with vegetable
and home-grown meat and become
self-reliant and resourceful
with what they have. We live on
0.8ha. We also want to shape the
local community and make it a
safe place to live and play. As a
growing community we all have a
responsibility to make Rolleston a
safe and desirable place to live and
bring up our children.
Do you have much to do with
clubs in Rolleston and Selwyn?
Not at the moment. I’m working
a lot so I haven’t had much to
do with the community. At the
moment a lot of the work we do is
focused more in the city but I feel
there is a need for an organisation

like ours in Selwyn, I think we can
help out young people everywhere
so it’s about making sure we can
help the people we need to and
having time for everyone. I think
we will work with more people
from the area soon though.
You said we, who does that
include?
My wife Pamela and I set it up.
Why did you decide to set up
the project?
We wanted to give kids a
chance, show them that they can
be heading down a bad track and
turn them around and get them
focused on making positive steps
in their own life and in their
communities so they can give
back to them. Once you change
one person in a family, that will
have a run-on effect when they
have a family and that will continue
down the line. That’s what
we want to do. Keep supporting

positive direction for their lives.
Where did the name Joshua
come from?
We wanted to get a name sorted
very early on and my wife and
I were both trying to come up
with ideas. As a Christian-based
organisation we were thinking
of biblical names. We decided
to go into separate rooms and
not come out until we had it.
But then we both walked out
of the rooms at the same time
and thought of the same person.
Joshua. He was hard working
and had strong determination
and they are key values we want
to install in other young people.
Did your time in the army
contribute to your idea?
It’s fair to say I was one of those
kids that I now teach. I was not
in a good way, I had left school
at 15 and was starting to get into
some bad things. Then I joined
the army and those guys basically
became my second family. They
really helped to pull me out of
that place and gave me purpose
and that kind of thing. They have
definitely had an influence on me
and my life and that’s what I hope
to do for these other kids.
What was your time in the
army like?
Like I said they are like my
second family. I also became a
jump master in the army so it
was my job was to throw people
out of C130 planes. I skydived for
25 years and it was really great. I
was a bit of an adrenalin junkie.
You spent time working in
Sierra Leone with the army,
what was that like?
It was horrendous. It was just
after the Civil War in 1993 so it
was a really unstable time over
there. It encouraged me to do
more work in other areas.
You have also done volunteer
work in Vanuatu, can you tell
me about that?
We bought a property over
there when I was a training sergeant.
Just loved the people and
the place. We wanted to serve
the villages with the kids in it.
We wanted to take our kids there
and show them how other people
have to live and show that we can
help them, so we went to some
villages and volunteered with
the people, we took over clothes
and supplies and things they
need. I think it really changed
their perspective on things. Now
we might go shopping and my
kids will point out things that we
could send to Vanuatu. They say:
‘Dad how about we take that over
next time.’ It’s really great to see
them take notice. We just want
to install a passion in them to
help other people.
Is volunteering over there
something you hope to bring
to your programmes with the
Joshua Foundation?
It is, it’s something we are
currently working on actually.
We have partnered up with the
Student Volunteer Army to do
volunteer work in Vanuatu.
Then we plan to open that to
kids across Canterbury. They
would need to fund themselves,
but the plan is to go over for 14
days and help and live in villages
so they can understand what life
is like and why it is important to
help out these people. They really
appreciate the work that people
do to help and that’s why we do
it.
So you still work as well?
Yes, I’m the Officer Commanding
Canterbury Company
for the 2/4 RNZIR (Royal New
Zealand Infantry Regiment).
Do you get any spare time?
Not really. But I don’t mind.
My version of downtime is getting
to sit with mates, couple of
beers and watch the rugby.
You’re a Canterbury supporter
right?
Yes, of course.

Pupils get out and about
SCHOOLS
WEST MELTON School pupils
have had a busy couple of weeks,
including a 29km bike ride.
The year 7 and 8 pupils took
on the challenge of biking
along the Little River Rail Trail
from Kaituna to Little River. It
involves a 14.5km bike ride each
way.
Meanwhile, as part of the Environschools
programme, pupils
also took part in a planting day
at Kowhai Sanctuary.
The pupils got to see how
much the trees they had planted
last year had grown. They
also did a water study, which
involved catching creatures they
found in the water and looking
at them through a magnifying
glass.
West Melton School, in conjunction
with the district council,
launched their Safe School
Travel Plan.
Local emergency services also
got involved by bringing fire
engines, police patrol cars and
an ambulance for pupils to look
at.
Their week was topped off
when their kapa haka group
performed at the Christchurch
Schools’ Cultural Festival.
FORMATION: The pupils all followed
one another, stopping at spots along
their bike ride to look at the view.
HAPPY BIKERS: The year 7 and 8 pupils were all
smiles and waves as they stopped on their journey
along the Little River Rail Trail.
SINGING: The pupils sung during their kapa haka
performance at the Christchurch Schools’ Cultural
Festival.
POLICE TREATMENT: Camryn, Paige and Trae
got to see what it’s like to be in the back of a
police car.
DRIVER: Iroquois stood outside the fire truck while
Joel hung on to the steering wheel and Caleb sat
in the passenger seat.

Fire truck rolls out
the fun factor

The team of 13 senior students

the performance as part

Katie Ferris, Josh Hardy, Chelsea
Smith, Kharissa Tomkins, Jayde
Vivian, and Jerome Taefu make
up the cast who will tell the murder

It is a comic take on the whodunnits
genre. Its plot includes a
secluded English country manor
house, ominous radio reports of
a criminal on the loose, visitors
behaving suspiciously, a relative
with a unknown past and an
unidentified dead body.
Year 12 student Anastasia

“I feel like the best part is acting
out your character because
you can play around with technique

ROLLESTON - YOUR TOWN, YOUR FUTURE
Foster Park – Spring 2016 update
Take a stroll at Foster Park
New shared walking/cycling paths that can now be used by the public have been laid around the perimeter of the park and through the park (see map
opposite for path locations). Additional paths will be laid in the future.
Foster Park hosted its first winter sport season with over 600 footballers of all ages taking part in weekend matches. A new LED sports field lighting
system was installed in March and is providing good lighting which is cost efficient for evening sports practices and games. Rolleston Men’s Shed
have established a building at the Dynes Road end of the park and are using their new home. A new temporary toilet facility has been installed
near Broadlands Drive (5 on the map). Permanent toilet facilities will be included in a planned indoor sport complex.
Foster Park is in bloom!

TO ROLLESTON TOWN CENTRE
14,500 daffodil bulbs were planted in the autumn by volunteers and Council staff and the daffodils are now starting to bloom at the
park. You can view the display, but please don’t pick the flowers – leave them for everyone to enjoy. We are also planning to plant
more daffodils – with around another 5,000 to be planted each autumn for the next three years, with help from volunteers.

Children’s playground update
The Council recently surveyed 83 Rolleston schoolchildren and invited comments from adults to gather information on what they would
like included in a major new playground to be developed at Foster Park opposite the Selwyn Aquatic Centre.
Some of the most popular types of play equipment kids wanted to see included a mouse wheel (similar to a large hamster
wheel), a big slide, a tree hut fort, a flying fox, swings, a BMX and scooter track and a climbing wall.
“The survey results have helped identify what types of activities kids would most like to have at the park. While we may
not be able to fit all of the play options into the park we are looking to accommodate as many of the most popular
options as we can comfortably fit into the space available,” says John Reid, Major Projects Property Manager, who is
overseeing the development of Foster Park.
John says the park will be designed as a destination playground which offers a wider range of play options
than local neighbourhood play grounds. “We’re aiming to create a very exciting facility for kids that will bring
people to the park to enjoy a family outing,” he says.

Sign up to Selwyn Gets Ready and win!
In September, Selwyn households are being invited to sign up to the Selwyn Gets Ready website and
go into the draw to win a household emergency kit.
The kit contains several items you will need if you have to evacuate.
To join the website and go into the draw, visit www.selwyn.
getsready.net by 3 October and enter your details. If you’ve already
registered with Selwyn Gets Ready you’re already in the draw, and
don’t need to register again.
The Selwyn Gets Ready website is a database which contains
contact information for local residents. This information is used by
local community response teams to identify who needs assistance
in an emergency and who has skills or resources (like first aid skills
or generators) that could help in a disaster. In a disaster a network
of community response teams operates in Selwyn checking on the
welfare of their community, identifying what needs to be done in
their area and requesting assistance if needed.
The Selwyn Gets Ready system is also used to send texts or emails
warning people of events like snow, strong winds or uncontrolled
fire and to share messages from local police. Access to household
information is restricted to local community response teams and
can’t be viewed by the public.

Netball South Pacific Island
Rolleston Samoa Experience October 2016
The team donating netball supplies
to Netball Samoa in 2013.
Following from our successful team
travelling to Samoa in 2013, it was
decided to take a second team to Samoa
this September (23rd September to 6th
October).
The team of teenage girls are all connected
to the Rolleston Netball Golden Oldies and
have been fundraising for the past
18 months, raising over $30,000 to date.
As Golden Oldies, we have loved the
international tournaments we have
attended – Fiji, San Diego and Hobart,
and we wanted our girls to experience
the same sort of netball fellowship while
giving back to the community. We
wanted to teach them the basic skills of
being generous, working as a team and
appreciating what we have.
The team of eight girls is aged between
13 and 15 years of age and operates as
the iNSPIRE team under our Golden Oldies
umbrella. They have been heavily involved
in raising the money themselves. They’ve
had to learn to budget, to take minutes,
write letters, apply for funding and have
learnt skills to enable them to approach
local businesses for assistance.
The girls have purchased stationery and,
along with Christina Brown, a member of
the 2013 team, have collected stationery
supplies from Rolleston School, Broadfields
School and Whitcoulls Hornby, which they
will donate to Tufutafoe Primary School.
They will stay in a remote village in Savaii,
spend time with the school children and
teach them netball while also playing
a game with them. While at the village
– a visit of four days – they will attend
a traditional church service (albeit in
Samoan!), will help prepare a traditional
tuanai (feast) including weaving plates
and learning about the protocols of eating
a traditional meal on the floor of a fale
(house). They will visit a traditional family
fale (home), a plantation and experience
other cultural lessons.
The whole team will also work with
Netball Samoa in Apia – the girls
in their holiday programme, our
coaches and umpires with some
Netball Samoa personnel. Rolleston
Netball Club have donated old
uniforms that will be given to
Netball Samoa.
They will visit a couple of schools in
Apia and are hoping to also visit the
National Hospital, as a number of our team
are also involved in St John as cadets and
volunteers.
While also enjoying experiencing the
wonderful tourist attractions that Samoa
has to offer, we are hoping that our aim of
“giving back to others and being grateful
for all that we have” is paramount.
We’d like to take this opportunity to
thank our families and friends and all the
businesses who have supported us with
our fundraising events.

Five-a-side
football
competition
for Prebbleton
WARMER WEATHER is on
its way and the Prebbleton
Football Club is turning up the
competition over the summer
with a mixed five-a-side
competition which begins next
month.
The competition has been
running since 2004 and is growing
in popularity with over 40
teams taking part last summer.
“We get a real mix, a lot of
non-footballers come and play.
We get a good cross-section of
the community, young and old
from all sporting codes,” said
Prebbleton Football Club president
Shannon Gilmore.
Young members at the club
will also have an exciting
training programme to look
forward to with Canterbury
United Dragons player’s taking
an eight-week junior coaching
clinic which will take place
prior to the junior five-a-side
games on Tuesdays.
The regulars will be returning,
however, the club is still
looking for more teams to join
this year’s league. The club
is also on the hunt for keen
referees.
The league will be spilt into
a top and bottom section after
the Christmas break with any
level of talent able to fight for
trophies.

Getting to the root of Canterbury
By the time an average
Canterbury child turns
five, they will have
had at least one tooth
decayed, extracted
or filled. Gabrielle
Stuart looked into the
problem, and the work
local groups are doing
to turn it around
FOUR-YEAR-OLD Leah
Gibbons is proud of her sparkly
white teeth.
Some of her peers are not so
lucky.
One in every three children in
Christchurch will have problems
with their teeth before they start
school – a filling needed, or even
rotten teeth removed.
In the worst cases local dentists
have seen, pre-schoolers
have had to have all their teeth
removed.
Some pre-schoolers are already
so self-conscious about their
teeth, they are afraid to smile.
Fizzy and sugary drinks – now
often cheaper than buying water
– take a share of the blame, as
do a lack of regular brushing
SMILES: Four-year-old Walnut Tree Preschool children Ayla Kittelty, Tyson Taukiri and Leah
Gibbons have been to their dental check-ups – but many of their peers have missed out.

or missed dental appointments
which could have caught problems
early.
But missing appointments did
not mean someone was a bad
parent, CDHB community and
public health advisory committee
member Rochelle Faimalo
said.
“A lot of the hubs are open
during school hours, which
makes it very hard for working
parents,” she said.
As a busy parent, it was easy to
lose track of when children were
due for check-ups, she said.
Part of the problem is families
falling through the cracks in the
dental system.
Pre-schoolers are supposed to
have free dental check-ups each
year, when they are two, three
and four, and then when they
start school.
BY THE NUMBERS:
•One in every three
Canterbury children will
have problems with their
teeth, from cavities to
extractions, by the time
they start school
•The average Canterbury
pre-schooler will have
problems with one tooth,
a Māori child two teeth,
and a Pasifika child three
•One in every six preschoolers
had their dental
enrolments cancelled
because their family
could not be contacted –
1184 children in total.
•The CDHB aims to
have 95 per cent of
preschoolers enrolled in
dental services. Last year
just 61 per cent were, a
drop from 69 per cent in
2014
Under the current system,
families are called three times
within the space of a month to
remind them of a check-up.
But if they don’t respond or
can’t be reached within that
time, they are cut from the
system.
Behind the Green Door
Ooh La La Hairdressing
Rolleston’s newest hairdressing salon
is a boutique establishment tucked
behind the lime green door on Dunns
Crossing Road.
Experienced senior stylist Amber
Meyerhoff decided the best way to
work was from home, so has turned
one of her rooms into a stunning salon
with glamorous touches to ensure her
clients feel like they are being treated
while she works her magic.
She offers all hairdressing services for
women, men and children including
cuts, colours, perms, blow waves and
hair-ups. The hospitality even extends
to a cider or beer, coffee or tea as part
of the experience.
Because of her handy location and lack
of commute time, Amber is happy to
work late nights for her clients.
All hairdressing services are by
appointment only but she says give her
a call and she will try her upmost to fit
clients in – even last minute ones.
Her product range is the Keune So Pure
range made from 100% pure plant
extracts and is free from parabens,
sulphates and ammonia.
So whether you want to just have a
trim or are looking for a whole new
makeover, give Amber a call at

children’s tooth decay
Then unless the family approaches
a dentist, the child may
completely miss out on check-ups
until they start school.
In Canterbury, one in every
six pre-schoolers had their enrolment
in the programme
cancelled.
That was even worse for Māori
or Pasifika children.
One in every four pre-schoolers
who identified as Māori had their
enrolment cancelled, and almost
half of Pasifika children.
CDHB health board member
Jo Kane said the numbers showed
the system had been “an epic fail
in many areas”.
“This model has been around
for a long time, and I think it is
time now to ask has it made a difference?”
she said.
The children’s enrolments are
being cancelled even though
other departments within the
CDHB often have up-to-date
contact information for those
families.
Planning and funding project
specialist Bridget Lester said
they were not allowed to share it
between departments, because of
privacy laws.
That could change next year,
Oral health concerns for
Maori and Pasifika children
IF THE dental problems for
the average child are bad, the
problem for Māori and Pasifika
children are dire.
The average Māori five-yearold
will have had problems
with at least two teeth, and the
average Pasifika child three.
That compares with one
tooth, on average, for children
of other ethnicities.
Dallas Hibbs, chief executive
as a new “opt out” system is
rolled out.
Under the new system, families
will register their children at
birth with a range of health
providers, and give permission to
have their contact
information
shared within the
services, unless
they opt out.
Community
Dental Service
clinical director
Martin Lee (above) said it could
make a big difference.
“I would be very disappointed
of community health provider
He Waka Tapu, supported the
idea of an opt-out system.
He said that needed to start
when children enrolled in early
childhood education.
“Given the ongoing costs to
the health system of poor oral
health, and the personal costs
to individuals with poor oral
health – the status quo should
not be option,” he said.
if we did not see significant
changes within two years,” he
said.
But it will only catch children
born or signed up after it is rolled
out.
In the meantime, hundreds of
children could still miss out.
Fluoridation has also been
raised as an option to try to
improve pre-schoolers’ teeth.
New legislation which would
give district health boards rather
than councils the power to decide
if water will be fluoridated will
come into force in 2018.

Gardening
SELWYN TIMES
Capture the colours of spring
• By Rachel Vogan
AS PARTS of the garden leap into
life, the heros in my blooming
world at the moment are daffodils,
tulips, hyacinths and jonquils.
I would love to lead you to
believe that this is all through
careful planning and skill that I
have such a plethora from which to
choose, but that’s not quite true.
The majority of bulbs I am
enjoying now were planted by
the previous owner. She was a
lady who would beaver away in
the garden from dawn to dusk,
constantly digging plants up and
moving them to another place in the
garden to enhance a vista or view.
And now, as I get to sit back
and reap what she sowed, I think
of her often. Yes, I have added my
twinkle to a few areas by planting
a few hundred bulbs, but the bulk
of what I am picking now have
been in situ for 20 years or more.
Did you know that daffodils can
last out of water for up to eight hours
before they start to wilt and fade?
Even though I have known
this for years it always seems
mean to make them suffer, so I
place them in a bucket of fresh
water filled up to their necks.
Tulips, hyacinths and daffodil all
flower at the same time. If you do
not have room in the garden, try
them in pots.
In the vase
Team up these spring
beauties with strong, bold
foliage to fill out the vase.
Go-to ones are bear’s
breeches (Acanthus mollis),
upright outdoor ferns,
variegated flax varieties
or some strong stems of
colourful willow branches –
even red stems of dogwood.
Stems of camellias blend
in beautifully as well, while
branches of berries,
like holly, add another
textural layer.
VIVID: A bunch of daffodil colours and varieties. The trick to keeping them alive once
picked is to change the water every few days and cut the bottom of the stems at the
same time. They can last up to a fortnight in a cooler room.

Quick and easy
to grow endive
Gazania likes the heat
• By Tod Palenski
IF YOU’RE looking to add
some spark to your garden this
summer, look no further than
gazania.
This flame-like plant produces
incredibly striking orange, yellow,
cream and red flowers and
loves hot, dry, sunny and even
windy growing conditions.
For a perfect planting buddy,
partner it with livingstone
daisies. These bright coloured
plants thrive in the same conditions
as gazania. Because of
this, both plants are great for
mass planting on dry slopes,
bedding, ground cover, edging
and in pots.
And for the same reasons,
gazania and livingstone daises
are both perfect to plant now as
the weather warms up. They’re
especially good to grow if you
plan on being out and about
or away a bit over the warmer
months – once planted, they
require little to no care.
Grab your gazania and livingstone
daisy plants
Make sure the area you
choose to plant in is welldrained,
rather than hard and
wet. Dig a hole and pop a seedling
in. Plant them quite close
together – about 200mm apart –
as they don’t tend to spread far
when they grow.
In around six to eight weeks
your garden should have some
extra spark of summer colour.

SPRING HAS arrived, which
means salad season is just around
the corner. And there’s nothing
like picking fresh salad ingredients
straight out of your garden.
I’ve talked a lot about the
different salad plants (typically
lettuces) – iceberg, baby cos,
red, triumph, just to name a few.
But for some reason I’ve never
mentioned endive in one of these
articles. And I’m not really sure
why.
Endive is a great addition to
any salad. I like to partner its fine
curled, mid-green leaves with
rocket.
To my mind, endive is a bit bitter
and rocket is a little peppery,
together they’re a great combo.
What’s equally important, and
another reason why I’m surprised
I haven’t mentioned endive in
the past, is it’s so easy and quick
to grow. Unlike most lettuces, it
doesn’t need to create a heart in
the centre so it’s very quick to
produce. Simply pick the leaves
off as you need them.
To plant, look for a welldrained
spot in the garden. If the
soil is still a bit wet and cold from
TASTY: Pick the leaves as you
need them.
winter, try growing endive in a
pot. Just add some good quality
potting mix, plant a couple of
seedlings around 5cm apart and
away you go.
Depending on where you are in
New Zealand and how warm the
soil is yet, it will take around four
to six weeks for your endive to be
ready to harvest. Remember, you
can tell the soil is warming up
when you need to start mowing
your lawns again.
Take a chance on endive. You
might just like what you grow!

Study reveals rapid
weight loss food
VEGETARIANS LOSE weight
twice as fast as meat eaters,
according to a study.
It found that the fastest way
for dieters to fight the flab was
to give up meat products. They
constitute more than a third of
the average meat eater’s daily
calorie intake.
In the first month of a diet,
they lose on average 900g, while
vegetarians’ weight loss is double
that at about 1.8kg.
The difference is even more
noticeable for slimmers who quit
meat at the start of a diet – with
the first month’s weight loss averaging
about 2.3kg.
Vegetarians are said to typically
be better dieters because the
switch away from meat also leads
to people embracing a healthier
lifestyle.
The study found that vegetarians
were twice as likely to be
gym members as meat eaters and
exercise twice as much.
The study found vegetarians
were also more likely to pick
low-fat options at the supermarket
than meat eaters.
The study found vegetarians
were also more likely to pick
low-fat options at the supermarket
than meat eaters.
They are also much more likely
to pick low-fat options at the
supermarket and tend to shun
fast food restaurants – just 12 per
cent are users, compared to 39
per cent of meat eaters.
The study, involving 1000
people, was carried out by weight
loss firm Forza Supplements.
Managing director Lee Smith
said: “All our research shows that
becoming a veggie is a great way
to lose weight.
“It’s not that good lean meat is
particularly calorific but we find
that meat eaters consistently have
a higher calorie intake
because the meat they eat is
often cooked in an unhealthy
way.
“A grilled chicken thigh is just
135 calories but that shoots up
to 290 calories when it is fried by
one of the fast food outlets, with
another 300 calories if you add
fries. That is where all the damage
is done.” – Daily Mail
No more coffee
IT’S TOUGH news but
according to a new report from
The Climate Institute, coffee
could be wiped out by 2080.
Based on the report’s estimations,
if global warming continues
at its current rate, rising
temperatures will render half the
land currently used to farm coffee
unsuitable by 2050.
Climate change will also see
an increase in pests and fungi,
which will impact the ability to
farm beans at current levels and,
by 2080, wild coffee is expected
to be wiped from the planet.
This date may feel like plenty
of cups of coffee away, but as
temperatures rise, consumers
IN THE battle of the bulge,
fat-laden cheese is often the first
tasty treat to be scrubbed from
the weekly shopping list.
But research suggests that
consumers who switch to lowcalorie
alternatives may be wasting
their cash.
A study found that ‘skinny’
cheese does not lower cholesterol,
reduce blood pressure or
help to trim the waistline.
Volunteers who spent three
can expect to see their brew’s
flavour and aroma seriously impacted,
while facing increasing
price hikes as the beans become
more scarce.
“Looking ahead, it is hard to
see how consumer prices cannot
be anything but badly affected by
the projected long-term decline
in growing area and other impacts
of a more hostile climate,”
the report said.
Beyond having to find a new
morning fix, the disappearance
of the coffee plant would also
impact around 120 million
people whose livelihoods depend
on the production of coffee
beans.
Low fat cheese no better
months eating a daily portion
of regular fat-cheese, or a lowcalorie
option, saw little or no
difference in heart disease risk
by the end of the experiment.
The researchers, from the University
of Copenhagen, recruited
139 men and women with early
warning signs of heart disease
and allocated them a daily 80
gram portion of full-fat cheese
or the same amount of a lowcalorie
variety.

A talent for giving
vehicles a lustrous look
Few people think of setting up a business in
their twenties. It is therefore impressive to
learn that a Rolleston local began his own car
grooming business at the age of 26.
Adam was working as a car groomer for a
well-known prestigious car dealership in
Christchurch, when he moved to Rolleston
and noticed that no car grooming business
was based there.
Seeing an opportunity, Adam decided to take
the plunge and begin his own operation and
in March 2013, he opened Sleek and Shine
and has been really busy ever since.
“Running a business is hard work. While it
can be difficult at times, I’m really enjoying it
and glad I gave it a go,” explains Adam who
says that he loves being his own boss.
Adam and his right-hand man Darren, are
experienced at grooming cars from new
through to vintage, providing a bumper
to bumper service for vehicles of any size;
whether a small runabout, family saloon,
tractor, truck, caravan, camper or wedding
car, with classic vehicles a favourite. Adam
especially loves the opportunity to carry out
a high-end groom on a prize vehicle such
as an Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari or
collectible.
No matter what the vehicle it will be looking
like new once Adam and Darren have
worked their magic as they are passionate
about ensuring a high level of service.
“We recently groomed the interior of
a grader. That was pretty exciting and
so different. We never thought we’d be
grooming a grader,” laughs Adam. “We’ve
Spruce up your vehicle
also had a motorised trike.”
Adam and Darren take pride and joy in what
they do. With attention to detail they are
particular about the look of each and every
vehicle that gets a Sleek and Shine treatment.
Adam admits that his favourite aspect is
cutting and polishing with the vehicles
having a mirror finish when they leave the
premises.
“We’ve had customers bring their car in for
grooming prior to selling it, and then loving
the job so much they decide to keep the
vehicle,” says Adam.
Sleek and Shine’s basic groom costs $189 for
both interior and exterior of a vehicle with
The Works (a high-end groom) costing $389.
They also sell maintenance packs that
contain dashboard reviver, auto glass cleaner,
interior cleaner, windscreen washer fluid
and a microfibre cloth for $25; All Blacks car
seat covers and floor mats; spare tyre covers;
wiper blades; portable mobile chargers with
a built-in torch for charging cell phones,
cameras, or other devices that plug into a
USB port.
New products are also due in store that offer
paint, fabric, leather and glass protection.
These will make ideal Christmas gifts as are
the Sleek and Shine gift vouchers.
Sleek and Shine is located on the Izone side
of Rolleston at 855 Jones Road, next door
to Jones Road Auto. They are open 9–5,
Monday to Friday or Saturday by booking.
They can be contacted on 347 4683 or at:
adam@sleekandshine.co.nz and have their

Toyota Prius cares for the environment
• By Ross Kiddie
I HAD the good fortune recently
to listen to a speech from Toyota
New Zealand’s managing director,
Alistair Davis.
The subject was global
warming and the effect that is
having on our planet. Mr Davis’
address was fascinating and way
too comprehensive to detail, but
for the fact that the bottom line
is as a global population we aren’t
doing enough to save our planet
from rising sea water levels and
other issues surrounding climate
change.
Toyota as a global vehicle
manufacturing operation is
well aware of the problems our
future generations face, and
are amping up the production
of more fuel efficient and low
emission vehicles, those which
are less likely to contribute to
the problem greenhouse gas is
creating on our weather patterns.
There is no silver bullet to the
issue without a viable alternative
to the internal combustion
engine; that being the case,
Toyota’s production of hybrid
vehicles is reaching new intensity.
Because of New Zealand’s
tiny appetite for new cars
in comparison to the world
market, we don’t see the volume
of hybrids that are leaving the
Toyota factories, but as demand

will make a statement.
The dash and console area
The Prius has always had are new-age, there are a raft of
styling a little avant-garde, but screens and displays, and even
new treatment makes it a lot though it is a complex car, the
controls are intuitive and easy to
locate the display which shows
the the inner workings of the
hybrid operation is my favourite.
And therein lies the ideology
of the hybrid operation. It has
battery power to activate the
electric motor which is initiated
in the first instance; however,
the petrol engine operates
automatically when the electric
motor is under load. The 1.8-
litre petrol engine also provides
the generation needed to keep
recharging the batteries, as well
as some regeneration available on
deceleration.
It’s a complex process, although
in effect it works seamlessly
and efficiently, drive is sent
to the front wheels through a
continuously variable automatic
transmission.
The benefits make a lot of sense
when you take into account the
fuel usage readouts. Between a
long highway drive and a lot of
suburban running around the
test car recorded a 5.2-litre per
100km (54mpg) average.
That’s nowhere near Toyota’s
best claim of 3.4l/100km (82mpg)
on a combined cycle average
but conditions to get usage that
friendly would need to be near
perfect.
In terms of handling, the Prius
feels taut, the newcomer has had
a shift in battery position so it

feels less bulky at the rear, and the
ride isn’t as harsh as I remember
Prius to be. The spring and
damper rates are firmish but not
hard, and that relates to positive
body balance in a corner along
with realistic steering feel.
In the wider scheme of things,
other manufacturers have only
dabbled with hybrid production
while Toyota is forever expanding
the number of vehicles available
in hybrid form. The Prius sets an
example as to how it should work
effectively.
Toyota in New Zealand
recognise the importance of Prius
in our market, even to the extent
of importing pre-owned plug-in
(electric-only) Prius through the
Signature Class operation. It’s
there for those who like the idea
of what the Prius represents but
who don’t relate to the idea of
still relying on petrol as the main
form of propulsion.

Selwyn District Plan
PRIVATE PLAN CHANGE 48
Mrs J Pascoe request to rezone Living 2A (deferred) land to Living 2 at the intersection
of Creyke Road and Telegraph Road, Darfield
Clause 5 of the First Schedule, Resource Management Act 1991
Private Plan Change 48 (PC48) proposes to change the Selwyn District Plan (Maps and
Plan Text) to rezone 13.5 hectares of existing Living 2A (deferred) land to Living 2. The
subject land is located at the intersection of Creyke Road and Telegraph Road (Lot 2 DP
56210, Lot 2 DP 391581, Lot 1 DP 56120 and Lot 1 DP 391581), on the southern edge of
Darfield. PC48 proposes amendments to the Selwyn District Plan that include:
· Amend the District Planning Maps to rezone the subject land from Living 2A (deferred)
to a Living 2 zone
· Incorporate an Outline Development Plan to coordinate and guide the future
development of the site
· Amend policy B4.3.28
· Rules to mitigate the effects of gunshot noise from the Darfield Shooting Centre
· A rule requiring that development and subdivision is undertaken in accordance with
the Outline Development Plan
The plan change request and the assessment of why it is needed can be read at
Council’s Rolleston Headquarters and Darfield Service Centre, or can be viewed
online at service centres and public libraries in Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston
or at www.selwyn.govt.nz.
Submissions
Any person or organisation may make a submission supporting or opposing any aspect
of this plan change. Submissions must be in accordance with Form 5 of the Resource
Management Regulations; this form is available from any Council Service Centre or on

oppose any of the initial submissions. A Council hearing will then be arranged to
consider all submissions, after which the Council will decide whether to reject or

PROTECT OUR HERITAGE, EMBRACE OUR DIVERSITY, GROW OUR FUTURE.
Why
choose
Sam
Broughton
for Mayor?
“I am a person who works
with all sides, listens to relevant
arguments, and then
makes decisions collaboratively
with others as we work
to strengthen one another. I
am investing my prime years
into serving our community,
and am excited about
supporting individuals and
communities to reach their
potential.
I get really annoyed when people are made
to fight for things that are common sense.
Council should be an enabler, supporting
people to look after their families and their
community. I will continue to drive Selwyn
District Council to balance the responsibility
of caring for one another and our environment,
while empowering others to get
things done efficiently.
Selwyn is the best place in NZ to live, bring
up a family, work, enjoy the outdoors, and
grow old. As a district we need to continue
to look towards the future, and the possibilities
that lie ahead. We need to work together
and acknowledge that when something is
good in one part of Selwyn, it’s good for all
of us. There is a reason Selwyn is growing
so fast. It’s because there is no better place
to be!”
PROVEN LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
• Six years of excellent results on Selwyn
District Council
• Chair of Coleridge Habitat
Enhancement Trust
• Board of Trustees that established a new
school in Rolleston
• Successful Entrepreneur and
Businessman
• Excellent ability to form strong teams that
work together
• Mentor to 100s of young people over 15
years of local youth work
PROVEN LEADERSHIP CHARACTER
• Integrity
• Reliable
• Hard working
• Co-operative
• Patient
• Serves others
• Committed long-term

What local people
are saying about
Sam Broughton
PADDY
“I’ve found Sam great. We can approach
him, his communication is good, and he
listens to what we want. And we seem to get
our results... It’s about staying in touch and
keeping your finger on the pulse... I want a
Mayor that can get along with everybody and
can make Selwyn be Selwyn and bring people
together.”
BEV
“Sam is someone who gets along with people
of all ages which is important. Young people
don’t want to feel alienated, this is where they
live. Old people have put in their years here
and want somebody who will represent their
interests, who listens and understands what
their situation might be, Sam does that... When
I look at Selwyn I think we are in for change
and the kind of energy that Sam will bring will
be invaluable.”
LAURA
“As new arrivals to the district we have felt
really welcomed here by Sam... He is really
supportive of both old and new residents
which is really good for a growing district like
Selwyn.. He has helped us get funding for our
play group and is great with families.”
PROVEN LEADERSHIP SKILLS
• Brings people together to get things done
• Big picture focus
• Listens to all sides
• Humility to change views as
information grows
• Asks relevant questions
• Committed to lifelong learning
MIKE
“I’ve known Sam for 12 years now. Started off
at youth group with me and my friends - we’d
go along and have a blast. Four years ago Sam
was our wedding celebrant for Laura’s and
my wedding. I really care for my family and
I want to make sure our water supply is nice
and clean and constant, and our roads are safe.
I think Sam’s commitment to the area and his
enthusiasm is what we really need.”
CAMPBELL
“I think the council needs a fresh start and
fresh leadership. I think Sam will be the man.
I have seen Sam go way beyond what his job
required, he did the extra work that didn’t
have to be done but he chose to get it done.
I think he will bring that same drive and
dedication to his role as Mayor.”

Rolleston lifestyle village
under construction
A new lifestyle village for people over 55 is currently under construction in Rolleston and
is the first aged care facility to be constructed in the area.
Rolleston’s 150 year history will be reflected in the village,
which is named after William Rolleston’s wife, Mary
Brittan who was a political force in herself, as a local
politician and community leader.
Built by Mike Greer Homes, the Mary Brittan Lifestyle
Village will be different from other retirement villages.
Rather than purchasing a licence to occupy where a
quarter of the resale figure is lost in deferred management
fees, owners will have freehold titles which can be gifted
or mortgaged.
The facility will also offer extras such as emergency call
buttons in each unit, the potential for 24 hour care when
needed, and a site manager who will take care of refuse
collection, quarterly window washing and maintenance
inside a unit if required.
While at least one resident in a house will need to be over
55 years, there will be flexibility for residents who want
to travel knowing their home is secure and the grounds
maintained.
Mike Greer Homes has built extensively in the area. The
company noted that while the Rolleston community has
become significant, there was nowhere for older people
who wished to downsize or for farming people coming
off the farm and into a community.
Mike Greer Homes are the only providers in the South
Island of a facility of this type with just two similar
facilities in the North Island. The Mary Brittan Lifestyle
Village will be sister to Barton Fields village in Lincoln,
which is also historically linked to its community, with
street names such as Clydesdale Way reflecting the
original Barton farm.
“The average age of those moving into Barton Fields
Lifestyle Village is between 66 and 67 years. Many are still
active and want to come and go from their property yet
still have the support of neighbours, and a complex that
is looked after,” explains Brendon Hill from Mary Brittan
Lifestyle Village Limited.
The Mary Brittan units will sell from $400,000 for a 115
square metre duplex unit. They will have open plan living
with kitchen, dining and lounge spaces, two bedrooms,
toilet, separate bathroom, ensuite and good sized single
garage with laundry, as well as a courtyard and garden
around the unit.
“Stage two at Barton Fields Lifestyle Village has already
been released and stage three is not far away,” explains
Brendon. “At the Mary Brittan Lifestyle Village, the
internal roads are completed with a show home under
construction and due to open early October. Other units
will follow.”
The Mary Brittan Lifestyle Village is accessed by Mary
Brittan Road, at 23 Lowes Road and is a 500 metre stroll
from Rolleston town centre.
To learn more about the Mary Brittan Lifestyle
Village, call Hamish Gemmell on: 347 0212, email:

Showhomes
There are many things to think about when you’re
considering building a new home. Browsing showhomes
is a fantastic way to get you thinking about practicalities,
needs, aesthetics and your wish list! Here are a few
considerations to help spark your planning process.
What is your exterior style?
What kind of homes do you
like? Edgy and contemporary,
classic elegance, country
lodge? Look around and take a mental note
of what you are drawn to most.
What kind of exterior materials do you
like? Would a brick home suit you, or
a modern material board? Once you’ve
worked out the look you like, research what
materials are available and find out about
their durability.
How will you use your house? Do you
do a lot of entertaining? It’s important to
most people to have good indoor/outdoor
flow and attractive, sheltered outdoor
living. Try and imagine your new home in
various seasons.
Landscaping will be an important part of
your project. Look around at other homes
and showhomes and consider what you like
and don’t like. Are you a structured formal
garden type or do you like a contemporary
native style? Start collecting photos from
magazines of gardens you admire.
Sustainability and future-proofing aren’t
just buzzwords anymore. It’s very important
for your new home to be designed to be
environmentally friendly and to take full
advantage of natural attributes such as solar
energy. Research insulation requirements,
solar hot water heating, ventilation options
and new technology to ensure you’re getting
a home that will be affordable to run.
Interior decor is a really exciting part of
your project. This is where showhomes can
really help you get to know current trends,
colours, beautiful furnishings and furniture.
Collect home magazines as well and make
up a folder of interior decors you would love
to emulate.
Also pause to give thought to architectural
components inside. Do you like a raised
ceiling? What kind of finishing do top homes
use and which styles are you are drawn to?
Heating is also a consideration. Have a
look at what showhomes are offering.
Kitchens form the heart of the house.
Showhomes 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.
