District’s growth soars<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

IT WAS a case of right place,<br />

right time for Phillippa Boa who<br />

opened her deli The Lincoln<br />

Pantry on Gerald St in May.<br />

The Tai Tapu woman is one<br />

of many business owners who<br />

have grabbed the opportunity<br />

presented by <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s soaring<br />

growth to set up a business in<br />

the district.<br />

Ms Boa had been planning to<br />

start the business for a while and<br />

she said friends and fellow Lincoln<br />

business owners had helped<br />

convince her to take the plunge.<br />

“I had been looking for a<br />

business opportunity in the area<br />

because I think it’s a lovely community,<br />

you have got residential<br />

growth – I think it was 25 per<br />

cent last year,” she said.<br />

“Then you have got the corporate<br />

market around you with<br />

Plant & Food and the university,<br />

so it seemed like a good hub for a<br />

shop like ours.”<br />

Ms Boa said business was going<br />

well so far.<br />

The district has recorded<br />

another year of strong growth<br />

with the value of non-residential<br />

building consents increasing<br />

by 40 per cent in the 12 months<br />

to June. This week the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> takes an in depth look at<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s booming economy<br />

– see pages 4 and 5.<br />

WITH FOUR days until<br />

the polls close, more than a<br />

quarter of <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s eligible<br />

voters have already made<br />

their choice for mayor and<br />

district councillors.<br />

Voting closes on Saturday<br />

at noon and people who<br />

are posting in their voting<br />

papers need to do so<br />

tomorrow at the latest.<br />

By 4.20pm on Friday, 25.57<br />

per cent of those eligible<br />

to vote in <strong>Selwyn</strong> had. The<br />

figure is slightly ahead of the<br />

24.02 per cent who had voted<br />

at this stage in 2013, and<br />

also above the figures for the<br />

same stage in 2010 and 2007<br />

elections.<br />

By ward, Malvern (33.85<br />

per cent) and Ellesmere<br />

(31.75 per cent) have had<br />

a significantly higher<br />

proportion of voting papers<br />

returned to date than the<br />

Springs (22.55 per cent) and<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central (21.95 per<br />

cent) wards.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> is part of Local<br />

Government New Zealand’s<br />

Vote<strong>2016</strong> campaign, which<br />

aims to lift voter turnout in<br />

local elections to more than<br />

50 per cent for the first time<br />

since the 1980s.<br />

Turn out will need to<br />

lift significantly for that to<br />

happen, with the best result<br />

in the last three elections<br />

being in 2007 when 44.78 per<br />

cent of those eligible to vote<br />

did so.<br />

Last year, 43.41 per cent<br />

voted.<br />

After tomorrow, voters<br />

will need to return their<br />

voting papers to one of<br />

the ballot boxes located<br />

at Darfield, Lincoln and<br />

Leeston Library and Service<br />

Centres, and at the district<br />

council headquarters in<br />

Rolleston.<br />

Anyone who is eligible to<br />

vote but has not received<br />

their voting papers can still<br />

cast a special vote at any of<br />

these locations.<br />

DESK<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

News....................................3-19<br />

BY LATE afternoon, early<br />

evening on Saturday, we are<br />

likely to know which one of the<br />

five mayoral candidates will be<br />

leading the district for the next<br />

three years.<br />

Sarah Walters, Pat McEvedy,<br />

Sam Broughton, Bill Woods and<br />

Debra Hasson all appear to have<br />

campaigned well.<br />

Reporter Tom Doudney<br />

reveals on page 1 that there has<br />

not yet been a tsunami of postal<br />

votes received, and if that continues<br />

through this week then<br />

the outcome is likely to be super<br />

close.<br />

The same can be said of the<br />

battle for district councillor<br />

positions, and Environment<br />

Canterbury.<br />

So if you haven’t put your<br />

voting papers in the post – do it<br />

DARFIELD RESIDENTS may<br />

not need to travel to Christchurch<br />

to watch the Crusaders square<br />

off against southern rivals the<br />

Highlanders next year.<br />

An agreement for Darfield to host<br />

a pre-season match is understood<br />

to be almost finalised. And if the<br />

fixture is a success, it could be held<br />

in the town every two years.<br />

The match would be for the Farmlands<br />

Cup which was first contested<br />

in Southland farmer Fred Booth’s<br />

paddock as part of the Southern<br />

Field Days event at Waimumu in<br />

February. That match ended in a<br />

19-19 draw.<br />

It is anticipated the match will<br />

alternate each year between Crusaders<br />

and Highlanders country, with<br />

the Crusaders to host their matches<br />

in Darfield and the Highlanders to<br />

continue hosting theirs in conjunction<br />

with Southern Field Days.<br />

The Darfield Township Committee<br />

has agreed in principle to a new<br />

permanent fence being built around<br />

the Darfield Domain, provided by<br />

the rugby club, which would be necessary<br />

for the match to go ahead.<br />

The Darfield Rugby Football<br />

Club and the Crusaders confirmed<br />

discussions on the matter had been<br />

taking place but would not comment<br />

further at this stage.<br />

staff and district councillor Sam<br />

Broughton, during which it was<br />

agreed that district council staff<br />

would look into the matter as<br />

part of the 2017/2018 Annual<br />

Plan process.<br />

Cr Broughton said there were<br />

other towns which might also<br />

argue the need for upgraded<br />

facilities so more analysis was<br />

needed before it could be determined<br />

whether the idea stacked<br />

up.<br />

“Facilities like these are quite<br />

expensive,” he said.<br />

“I think a needs assessment is<br />

definitely a good first step.”<br />

In Brief<br />

GIRL KICKED BY COW<br />

A two-year-old girl was flown<br />

to Christchurch Hospital on<br />

Saturday, about 4pm, after being<br />

kicked by a cow at a Springston<br />

property. A Westpac rescue<br />

helicopter spokesperson said the<br />

girl’s injuries were “moderate to<br />

serious.”<br />

DRIVER FELL ASLEEP<br />

A Christchurch driver ended<br />

upside down in a ditch on<br />

Christchurch Akaroa Rd, near<br />

Motukarara, after dozing off at<br />

the wheel on Saturday at about<br />

5pm. The man, in his early 20s,<br />

had been in Akaroa for the day<br />

and was on his way home. He<br />

was uninjured. Sergeant Alex<br />

Pickover said no charges would be<br />

laid but the incident was a timely<br />

reminder of the need for people to<br />

pull over when tired.<br />

No stopping economic growth<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> has continued to<br />

ride an economic high<br />

tide this year, the latest<br />

economic data shows.<br />

Tom Doudney reports<br />

on the growth which just<br />

won’t stop<br />

SELWYN’S ECONOMY has hit<br />

new highs thanks largely to a<br />

commercial building boom and<br />

the district’s strong retail sector.<br />

Rolleston resident Sinead<br />

McGrath said the growth<br />

had been a big factor in deciding<br />

to start up her hair and beauty<br />

salon Copperhead Road, which<br />

opened about seven weeks<br />

ago.<br />

“I have hair dressed in Rolleston<br />

for a few years and built up<br />

quite a big clientele but just with<br />

all the new people coming into<br />

the area and the fact that there<br />

was only three or four other hair<br />

salons I thought there was a lot<br />

of potential to grow a business<br />

out here,” she said.<br />

“It’s going brilliantly.”<br />

Malvern Butchery owner<br />

Paddy McKay said business in<br />

Darfield was booming and he<br />

was noticing the increased trade<br />

in his own shop.<br />

IN DEMAND: An extension of the Lincoln New World was recently completed. Population<br />

growth across <strong>Selwyn</strong> has driven both the expansion of existing shops and the building of new<br />

ones.<br />

PHOTO: ANDREW KING<br />

“Darfield is going flat out,<br />

things are going real good here,”<br />

Mr McKay said.<br />

Data compiled by economic<br />

analysts Infometrics showed the<br />

value of non-residential building<br />

consents in <strong>Selwyn</strong> grew by 40<br />

per cent for the year to June.<br />

During this time, consents valued<br />

at $152 million were lodged,<br />

up from $109 million for the<br />

previous 12 months.<br />

District council building<br />

manager Vanessa Beavon said<br />

the figures reflected a number of<br />

factors including the building of<br />

new schools in Rolleston, consents<br />

for new shops to be developed<br />

in Rolleston, West Melton<br />

and Darfield and the continuing<br />

development of new businesses<br />

at Izone.<br />

Non-residential consent values<br />

increased by 16 per cent in<br />

Canterbury and by 15 per cent<br />

nationally in the year to June.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> retail trade was up by<br />

6.4 per cent, well up on national<br />

retail activity figures of 2.8 per<br />

cent.<br />

Overall, <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s gross domestic<br />

product grew by 3.8 per cent,<br />

significantly above the Canterbury<br />

average of 0.9 per cent, and<br />

above the New Zealand figure of<br />

2.7 per cent.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s unemployment<br />

rate of 2 per cent was the fifth<br />

lowest among New Zealand territorial<br />

authorities. Canterbury’s<br />

unemployment rate was 3.2 per<br />

cent and New Zealand’s 5.2 per<br />

cent.<br />

The 2014/2015 year was an<br />

exceptionally busy year for<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> as Statistics New Zealand<br />

estimated that the district’s<br />

population grew by 6.5 per cent<br />

in the year to June 2015 and<br />

is now estimated to be about<br />

55,000.<br />

MOST PEOPLE would<br />

probably recognise the growing<br />

population along with farming<br />

and rural industries as growth<br />

drivers in <strong>Selwyn</strong> but not<br />

everyone would see tourism as<br />

part of the district’s success.<br />

Yet <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s tourist numbers<br />

have been on the rise, with<br />

94,649 guest nights recorded<br />

in the district (covering both<br />

international and domestic<br />

visitors) in the year to June, up<br />

4.4 per cent from the previous<br />

12 months.<br />

District council chief<br />

executive David Ward said a<br />

focus on tourism promotions<br />

had been part of its strategy<br />

since 2011.<br />

A shortage of venues in<br />

Christchurch due to the<br />

earthquakes had been a factor<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s business tourism<br />

growth as people had ventured<br />

further out of the city to hold<br />

their events.<br />

Mr Ward said an increase<br />

in international flights<br />

into Christchurch Airport,<br />

particularly from China,<br />

and Queenstown had also<br />

had an impact on visitor<br />

numbers across the whole of<br />

Canterbury.<br />

SELWYN TIMES Tuesday <strong>October</strong> 4 <strong>2016</strong> 5<br />

throughout <strong>Selwyn</strong> region<br />

THE TWIN pillars of new<br />

business investment and<br />

agriculture mean <strong>Selwyn</strong> has<br />

every reason to be confident<br />

about its future growth, an<br />

economic analyst says.<br />

Infometrics senior<br />

economist Benje Patterson<br />

(right) said <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

economy was “quite<br />

interesting” compared<br />

to many of its peers in<br />

surrounding districts.<br />

“Even though in some ways<br />

it is a primary sector orientated<br />

district in that it has a lot of<br />

agricultural production, it is also<br />

somewhere where we are seeing a<br />

lot of investment and that<br />

has come about because<br />

of many people flocking<br />

to residential areas that<br />

are growing in Rolleston<br />

and other satellite<br />

communities,” he said.<br />

Commercial<br />

development in retail, logistical<br />

facilities and industrial space<br />

boded well for the future both<br />

because much of the construction<br />

was still yet to happen and this<br />

development would enable<br />

further economic activity.<br />

“Those factors lead us to be<br />

reasonably optimistic that <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

is going to continue to perform<br />

well – it may not grow at quite<br />

the rate it has recently but even if<br />

it was to grow at two or three per<br />

cent that would still be very good<br />

growth for a regional economy,”<br />

Mr Patterson said.<br />

The recovery in dairy<br />

prices was also cause for<br />

optimism.<br />

“Dairy prices are not yet<br />

at their historical averages<br />

but they are up 25-30 per<br />

cent in terms of the pay<br />

out forecast compared with a year<br />

earlier and that is going to see<br />

farmers feeling more confident in<br />

their spending patterns,” he said.<br />

Federated Farmers North<br />

Canterbury dairy<br />

chairman Michael<br />

Woodward (left) said<br />

that, apart from some<br />

general maintenance<br />

which had been put off<br />

during the downturn,<br />

farmers were unlikely to<br />

increase their spending much<br />

until next season.<br />

“There is potentially pressure<br />

coming from banks to basically<br />

step up repayments,” Mr<br />

Woodward said.<br />

“So we have got to have some<br />

good $6 plus pay outs to get back<br />

to where those farmers are really<br />

happy again.”<br />

WITH A new shopping centre<br />

soon to open to cater for the<br />

subdivisions which have sprung<br />

up over the last 10 years West<br />

Melton is a poster child for<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s runaway growth.<br />

While Rolleston and Lincoln<br />

have grabbed much of the<br />

spotlight, West Melton’s own<br />

population growth over the last<br />

10 years has been phenomenal.<br />

Resident Bruce Russell, who is<br />

deputy chairman of the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Central Community Board, said<br />

this was driving demand for new<br />

facilities and businesses.<br />

“In 2006 we had 40 houses<br />

here – today we have got nearly<br />

1000,” Mr Russell said.<br />

“With the new shopping<br />

centre going ahead West Melton<br />

is going to be a little township on<br />

its own.”<br />

The shopping centre, which is<br />

being built by James Lloyd Developments,<br />

is expected to open<br />

early next month.<br />

It features a Four Square<br />

supermarket and 12 other shops<br />

including a restaurant and bar,<br />

Unichem, medical centre, bakery,<br />

real estate agent, hairdresser<br />

and a beauty therapy salon.<br />

James Lloyd Developments<br />

director Tony Hickman said<br />

there were only two shops which<br />

COMING SOON: West Melton’s new shopping centre is<br />

expected to open early next month.<br />

did not have tenants arranged<br />

yet and discussions were taking<br />

place to fill those vacancies.<br />

“The phone rings every day<br />

from residents asking when it’s<br />

going to open and what kind of<br />

businesses are going to be there,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It’s what the area has needed<br />

for a long time.”<br />

Mr Russell is also steering<br />

committee chairman for the<br />

planned $6.6 million West Melton<br />

Community and Recreation<br />

Centre which will replace the<br />

community’s ageing hall.<br />

He said the new building<br />

would be a big asset to the area.<br />

“We are still hoping to go out<br />

for tender probably about December<br />

and then have the thing<br />

built in hopefully September or<br />

<strong>October</strong> 2017,” Mr Russell said.<br />

“The Lincoln Event Centre is<br />

attracting people from Christchurch,<br />

conferences and all that<br />

sort of thing, and we could do<br />

the same thing here because<br />

we are only 10 minutes from<br />

Christchurch.”

News<br />

Councillors hit out<br />

at city counterparts<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

DISTRICT councillors have hit<br />

out at their Christchurch counterparts<br />

over the ban on freedom<br />

camping in the city and Banks<br />

Peninsula.<br />

The comments came as a<br />

report on freedom camping was<br />

presented at Wednesday’s district<br />

council meeting.<br />

The report predicts increased<br />

numbers of freedom campers in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> this summer due to the<br />

ban, at a cost of about $30,000<br />

to the district council in extra<br />

cleaning, servicing and waste<br />

removal.<br />

District councillor Sam<br />

Broughton said it was “quite<br />

disappointing that Christchurch<br />

has put its head in the sand and<br />

decided that it doesn’t want to<br />

have to deal with freedom camping<br />

which has made it really<br />

hard to come up with a regional<br />

response to freedom campers.”<br />

District councillor John<br />

Morten said it was “typical of a<br />

wishy-washy Christchurch City<br />

Council and their inability to<br />

make a decisive decision.”<br />

District councillor Nigel<br />

Barnett said if the city council<br />

TRAVELLING LIGHT: More freedom campers are expected in<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> this summer.<br />

could “get their act together”<br />

the impact on <strong>Selwyn</strong> would be<br />

reduced.<br />

Several other district councillors<br />

expressed support for the<br />

comments.<br />

Christchurch mayor Lianne<br />

Dalziel declined to respond<br />

to the comments, when approached<br />

by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />

District councillors also suggested<br />

that more could be done<br />

to encourage freedom campers<br />

to spend their money in ways<br />

which would benefit the <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />

District councillor Pat McEvedy<br />

suggested that freedom<br />

campers could have the opportunity<br />

to make a donation to an<br />

environmental protection and<br />

enhancement fund to offset the<br />

effects of freedom camping.<br />

District councillor Malcolm<br />

Lyall said he had concern for <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

tourism hot spots but he<br />

was also interested in what could<br />

be done to connect the campers<br />

with local businesses which<br />

could benefit from their trade.<br />

“Think of them as an opportunity,”<br />

he said.<br />

Pig farm’s bid to renew<br />

resource consent fails<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

A PIG farm near Burnham that<br />

has frustrated its neighbours for<br />

four years has had its application<br />

to renew its resource consent<br />

declined.<br />

The 20ha farm, run by Chris<br />

and Melanie Bates and their<br />

son Henry since 2012, has until<br />

<strong>October</strong> 19 to decide if it wants<br />

to appeal the decision of an<br />

independent hearing panel to the<br />

Environment Court.<br />

Neighbours were concerned<br />

about dust and, to a lesser extent,<br />

noise and odour from the farm.<br />

Those who spoke to the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> said they were pleased<br />

about the decision but wary over<br />

the possibility of the Bates making<br />

an appeal.<br />

Neighbour Hamish Cottier<br />

said if the panel’s decision was<br />

upheld, he and his wife would<br />

be able to get back to their<br />

business of training polo horses<br />

and taking riding lessons –<br />

something which he said had not<br />

been possible with the pig farm<br />

next door.<br />

“It’s a step in the right direction<br />

and I would like to have my business<br />

back,” he said.<br />

“But the pigs have to go first.”<br />

The farm, on the corner of<br />

Thompsons Rd and <strong>Selwyn</strong> Rd,<br />

has about 235 pigs not including<br />

piglets.<br />

The Bates had been granted a<br />

two-year consent in May 2014<br />

to allow them time to move the<br />

operation to a larger site.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> was unable<br />

to reach the Bates for comment<br />

but in their application to renew<br />

the resource consent they stated<br />

that they had been unable to find<br />

a suitable alternative location in<br />

spite of investigating about 60<br />

potential sites.<br />

Hearing commissioners<br />

Graham Taylor and John Iseli<br />

were satisfied that odour and<br />

noise were not significant<br />

issues. However, they were not<br />

satisfied that dust issues could be<br />

sufficiently mitigated.<br />

“Our conclusion is that without<br />

irrigation, the pig farm will be<br />

unable to maintain ground cover<br />

on a regular seasonal basis,” their<br />

report stated.<br />

“There is therefore a high<br />

likelihood that dust nuisance<br />

conditions will re-occur in less<br />

than extreme events.”<br />

Irrigation had been<br />

investigated but discounted<br />

by the Bates due to water<br />

unavailability and cost.<br />

Clever?<br />

Compact?<br />

LARGE?<br />

However you like it - Our work spans all types of house building<br />

When it comes to scope and style the homes you see here are just the tip of the roofline. With<br />

decades in the business the team at Artisian Homes have worked in all areas of residential<br />

construction. There are obvious differences between building a two-bedroom home compared<br />

to a six bedroom one. Irrespective, our overall approach remains the same.<br />

While we have a sound reputation for carefully crafted home building we also are renowned<br />

for getting the right result no matter what the challenge. Building with difficult access,<br />

looming timelines or tight budgets is just a fact of life for us.<br />

Our house looks great. I have been<br />

very impressed with the Artisan team.<br />

Good build quality, very good progress<br />

& clear open communication.<br />

Thanks heaps! “<br />

~ Peter, Halswell<br />

My husband and I have just moved into a home built by<br />

Artisan Homes. Even though it is a large home we had no<br />

delays with supply or tradesmen. We were concerned when<br />

choosing a builder as we are in the Christchurch rebuild<br />

zone. Rob and his team were honest, very prompt sorting<br />

out any queries and helped with choices throughout the<br />

entire build. We are very pleased with our home. The<br />

quality and service was excellent. If we ever build again, it<br />

will be with Artisan Homes.<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

In the lead up to local body elections on Saturday, the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> has been regularly<br />

putting a question to each of the five <strong>Selwyn</strong> mayoral candidates. The final question<br />

relates to the 6km of new footpaths constructed by the district council during the current<br />

financial year. The footpaths cost $500,000 in total, with $400,000 of that being met from<br />

investment income and therefore no direct cost to the ratepayer. Lincoln and Prebbleton<br />

are not among the 12 <strong>Selwyn</strong> communities which will benefit from this. If the district<br />

council is using funds from investments, why shouldn’t some funds be allocated to these<br />

two towns?<br />

District<br />

councillor Sam<br />

Broughton:<br />

The<br />

contribution to<br />

the general rate<br />

from households<br />

across the district<br />

is an important income source<br />

for our community and is used<br />

to pay for public good items<br />

including footpaths where a<br />

targeted rate is not appropriate or<br />

difficult to apportion.<br />

Income from investments is<br />

treated in the same way. The<br />

council makes general rate<br />

decisions based on need and<br />

looks to be fair across the district.<br />

There are footpaths in each of the<br />

wards to be completed as part of<br />

the programme.<br />

The footpath programme is<br />

to bring our footpaths up to the<br />

expectations of our community.<br />

The towns with the most work<br />

have been lagging behind our<br />

expected standard and it will be<br />

good to see them upgraded over<br />

the next couple of years.<br />

District<br />

councillor<br />

Debra Hasson:<br />

Investment<br />

revenue is used to<br />

support the general<br />

rate and applied<br />

across <strong>Selwyn</strong> in<br />

‘swings and roundabouts’.<br />

Due to the timing of this money,<br />

post annual plan deliberations<br />

council decided to increase the<br />

footpath budget from $200,000<br />

to $500,000 over 12-18 months,<br />

bringing forward planned<br />

expenditure. A revised list was<br />

prepared by staff reflecting both<br />

submissions and priorities. While<br />

Lincoln and Prebbleton footpaths<br />

were not included, on a ward basis,<br />

footpaths in Tai Tapu were.<br />

Once this $500,000 has been<br />

spent, council plans to consult<br />

with township committees on<br />

council’s Walking and Cycling<br />

Strategy so further footpaths can<br />

be added.<br />

Please remember, to construct<br />

Lincoln’s Town Centre Plan, general<br />

rate funding will apply and<br />

some years ago Prebbleton had its<br />

main street upgraded.<br />

District<br />

councillor Pat<br />

McEvedy:<br />

The footpaths<br />

listed in the<br />

<strong>2016</strong>/17 footpath<br />

extension programme<br />

are those<br />

that have been requested by various<br />

township committees over a<br />

period of years.<br />

The $400,000 from a Sicon<br />

dividend has made it possible<br />

to reduce the nine year waiting<br />

list. Most of these footpaths are<br />

missing links in the older parts<br />

of these townships. The reason<br />

that there are none in Lincoln<br />

and Prebbleton may mean that<br />

the connections in these two<br />

townships are much better than<br />

most other townships. This<br />

reflects the quality of the recent<br />

developments in these towns that<br />

has provided good linkages and<br />

connections for walking.<br />

It’s important that we respond<br />

to what individual communities<br />

want and request as all of our<br />

townships are unique and have<br />

different requirements.<br />

Elections 16<br />

Deputy mayor<br />

Sarah Walters:<br />

An assessment<br />

was undertaken by<br />

staff based on three<br />

pedestrian benefit<br />

factors to initially<br />

determine priority<br />

across the district and letters were<br />

sent to community committees<br />

asking for further feedback.<br />

Priority was determined on:<br />

those within townships (ie the<br />

benefit to more pedestrians), those<br />

alongside the busiest road<br />

(ie improves safety of pedestrians),<br />

those that filled in a missing link<br />

(ie gaps between existing footpaths<br />

to make routes more continuous).<br />

Since the annual budget was<br />

put together the council has also<br />

adopted the Lincoln Town Centre<br />

Plan which includes improved<br />

pedestrian facilities and requires<br />

significant investment but has<br />

not yet been through the budget<br />

process.<br />

Bill Woods:<br />

This question<br />

is directed to the<br />

other candidates<br />

as I have had no<br />

involvement in<br />

the decision but I<br />

am confident that<br />

there would have been a list of<br />

footpaths to be constructed and<br />

an order of priority drawn up<br />

with the towns of Lincoln and<br />

Prebbleton not making the grade.<br />

What I am also not aware of is<br />

did the councillors question the<br />

order or just accept the list presented<br />

to them without question?<br />

If past actions are anything to<br />

go by the list would have been accepted<br />

without any questioning.<br />

I must emphasise this is only my<br />

assessment as I have no information<br />

to the contrary.<br />

Coe’s final meeting<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

MAYOR KELVIN Coe has paid<br />

tribute to a group of district<br />

councillors who “play the ball and<br />

not the man” in his last meeting<br />

in charge.<br />

Mr Coe will step down<br />

following Saturday’s election after<br />

nine years as mayor and 12 years<br />

before that as a district councillor.<br />

In his valedictory speech, he<br />

said that throughout his time as<br />

mayor councillors had shown the<br />

ability to work together and keep<br />

disagreements at the table from<br />

becoming personal – something<br />

which wasn’t always been true of<br />

other councils.<br />

“That’s a real strength of this<br />

council,” he said.<br />

He said the fact that most of the<br />

incumbent district councillors<br />

had been voted back in at the last<br />

two elections showed they had<br />

been doing a good job.<br />

Other district councillors<br />

thanked Mr Coe for encouraging<br />

discussion, which allowed for<br />

consensus decision making.<br />

District councillor Nigel<br />

Barnett, who is also retiring,<br />

said he was proud of the way<br />

the district council had gone<br />

from lagging behind in dealing<br />

with some issues relating to<br />

the district’s runaway growth<br />

JOB DONE: Mayor Kelvin Coe will step down after Saturday’s<br />

election.<br />

to getting on top of things<br />

during his own nine years at the<br />

table.<br />

“When I look back at some<br />

of the big decisions we took<br />

on board, with the benefit of<br />

hindsight, there really wasn’t any<br />

other decision that could have<br />

been made,” Cr Barnett said.<br />

He acknowledged his<br />

reputation as a joker.<br />

“It would be a bit of a shame if I<br />

couldn’t have some fun along the<br />

way.”<br />

Jeff Bland<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

MEMBERS OF the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Central Community Board<br />

have lamented its loss as it<br />

enters its final days.<br />

The board held its final<br />

meeting last month and will be<br />

officially disestablished following<br />

Saturday’s local government<br />

elections.<br />

The district council decided<br />

to disestablish the board after<br />

consultation last year and the<br />

Local Government Commission<br />

supported the decision.<br />

District councillors Jeff<br />

Bland, who took over from<br />

Diane Chesmar as chairman<br />

at the start of the year due to<br />

tensions between fellow board<br />

members, said the district<br />

council had been too quick to<br />

Bruce Russell<br />

Last days for<br />

community board<br />

get rid of the board.<br />

He would rather have seen<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central residents given<br />

the chance to vote on whether<br />

to retain the board as part of<br />

local body elections.<br />

“I’m a great believer in democracy<br />

and I am sad myself<br />

that the board has been dissolved,<br />

I would have liked to<br />

see it continue,” Cr Bland said.<br />

Deputy chairman Bruce<br />

Russell said that in turning<br />

away from community boards<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> was out of step with<br />

other parts of the country.<br />

“In Christchurch the mayor<br />

and councillors there are saying<br />

‘we must give more power<br />

to our community boards<br />

because they are the heart of<br />

the community’.”<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Health and safety concerns<br />

at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sawmills justified<br />

WorkSafe<br />

New Zealand<br />

deputy general<br />

manager<br />

assessments Jo<br />

Pugh responds<br />

to a column<br />

by <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Sawmills<br />

co-owner AJ Halliday about<br />

“restrictive and expensive<br />

edicts from WorkSafe New<br />

Zealand” forcing businesses<br />

to close their doors<br />

Health and safety is an easy<br />

target when financial difficulties<br />

happen.<br />

The Health and Safety at Work<br />

Act asks businesses to be sensible<br />

in managing their hazards.<br />

It doesn’t mean that every<br />

hazard, no matter how small,<br />

has to be eliminated at any cost.<br />

That’s not reasonable, let alone<br />

possible.<br />

We know it’s possible to meet<br />

health and safety obligations as<br />

demonstrated by the five out six<br />

sawmills in the region that we<br />

have assessed. They are managing<br />

their hazards and protecting their<br />

workers and customers from<br />

serious harm.<br />

However, what was witnessed<br />

on-site by WorkSafe inspectors at<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sawmills left us no choice<br />

but to seek improvements. The<br />

site had unguarded belt drives,<br />

open chain and sprockets, and<br />

required workers to step over one<br />

machine to get to the next, which<br />

are all examples of hazards with<br />

the potential to threaten life and<br />

limb.<br />

WorkSafe is not insensitive to<br />

businesses circumstances and,<br />

in the case of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sawmills,<br />

we provided the business extra<br />

time to meet the improvement<br />

notice. Upon news that the<br />

directors had taken the decision<br />

to cease trading, we helped<br />

them work through short term<br />

safety improvements – including<br />

administrative controls like<br />

earmuffs – which would allow<br />

them to continue trading while<br />

the business was wound up.<br />

Health and safety is a part of<br />

business – not an addition to be<br />

tacked on when times are good.<br />

Keeping workers and customers<br />

well away from dangerous<br />

machinery while it is in operation<br />

is the best way to prevent<br />

incidents. Adequate machine<br />

guarding is not optional – it’s a<br />

must.<br />

A lack of money does not<br />

reduce responsibilities under the<br />

Health and Safety at Work Act. In<br />

fact, when times are tight it can<br />

be tempting for businesses to cut<br />

corners, leaving workers exposed<br />

to serious and potentially deadly<br />

hazards.<br />

In New Zealand, one person<br />

a week is killed in workplace<br />

accidents, and over 20,000 suffer<br />

serious injury and 600 to 900 die<br />

an early death from work-related<br />

ill-health each year.<br />

Our workplace death and injury<br />

toll is far worse than Australia’s or<br />

the United Kingdom’s. That is not<br />

a record to be proud of.<br />

Additionally, taxpayers are<br />

forking out an estimated $3.5<br />

billion a year on workplace<br />

deaths, injuries and ill-health.<br />

However, the most significant<br />

cost is that paid by the loved ones<br />

who pick up the pieces following<br />

a workplace accident.<br />

Residents respond to<br />

business owner Lynn<br />

Townsend’s recent<br />

column in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Times</strong> which criticised<br />

the planned removal of<br />

car parks on Gerald St in<br />

favour of a cycleway<br />

Alan Wise, of Lincoln –<br />

Does Lynn Townsend<br />

honestly believe that people<br />

go to the Lincoln supermarket<br />

because it has a large car park<br />

and how is this an argument for<br />

the district council to provide<br />

on-street parking? Does a<br />

business such as Coffee Culture<br />

think their coffee is so ordinary<br />

that their customers will go<br />

elsewhere if they can’t park on<br />

Gerald St?<br />

I thought business owners<br />

were more astute and realised<br />

that more business comes from<br />

people walking past the door<br />

than driving past.<br />

I fully support the district<br />

council’s plans for Gerald St.<br />

Pat Palmer, of Prebbleton<br />

– Lynn Townsend should be<br />

asking the district council ‘how<br />

many cyclists will use the proposed<br />

cycleway along Gerald<br />

St and how much will it cost?’<br />

And the council should have<br />

considered this, and already<br />

told us.<br />

WINNERS ARE GRINNERS: Lincoln University student Zoe Harty, who won the Miss<br />

Famous Grouse contest. She will spend the $2000 prize money on clothes and an<br />

overseas trip.<br />

Some of us commented on<br />

the fact that even though there<br />

is obviously not any repair<br />

work happening it would be<br />

good if they were continuing<br />

to do some basic maintenance<br />

of the church to keep it in a<br />

good state.<br />

Earlier this year I was there<br />

again for an internment and<br />

noticed that there are weeds<br />

in the gutters and other things<br />

that will not be helping with<br />

the overall condition of the<br />

church and one would think<br />

could be looked after – unless<br />

it is a safety issue.<br />

Lincoln resident Todd<br />

Nicholls writes about the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>’ coverage<br />

of the Miss Famous<br />

Grouse competition on its<br />

front page last week<br />

I am a long-term Lincoln<br />

resident. I have been a<br />

journalist and a lawyer for<br />

over 20 years. I am also the<br />

father of two young daughters.<br />

I was horrified by your front<br />

page story Beauty and Brains<br />

(September 27, <strong>2016</strong>).<br />

For just a moment I thought<br />

that we had gone back to the<br />

dark ages. Bad enough that the<br />

Lincoln Hotel had to advertise<br />

this sexist rubbish (posing as<br />

entertainment) for weeks beforehand<br />

outside its premise.<br />

For your otherwise excellent<br />

newspaper to highlight this<br />

backward event on its front<br />

page is an insult to not only<br />

the progress that we have<br />

made as a community but the<br />

role of women in our society.<br />

Your readers, and my two<br />

young daughters, deserved<br />

so much better.<br />

Rolleston resident<br />

Jonathan Scott writes<br />

about the Pest Control<br />

Research factory in<br />

Rolleston planning to<br />

manufacture 1080 bait<br />

Myself and other Rolleston<br />

residents wish to express our<br />

concerns that PCR keep their<br />

external roller door open<br />

during operation.<br />

Open Day Announcement<br />

St John The Evangelist Catholic Church Leeston, is proud to announce its<br />

long awaited reopening following the completion of phase one, earthquake<br />

strengthening works.<br />

Although the district<br />

council have advised that PCR<br />

cannot manufacture 1080<br />

bait yet, we believe PCR are<br />

demonstrating their lack of<br />

concern for the community by<br />

engaging in poor manufacturing<br />

practices, which, if occurring<br />

during active poison bait<br />

manufacture, would put the<br />

community at risk and be in<br />

breach of their consent.<br />

As the spokesman for the<br />

1080 Free Rolleston Facebook<br />

page, we would like to see PCR<br />

take these concerns into consideration,<br />

rather than simply<br />

responding with ‘we are not<br />

making bait yet.’<br />

I suggest PCR is leaving<br />

the external door up in<br />

order to counteract the<br />

effect of solar heating or<br />

manufacturing temperatures<br />

occurring during the day.<br />

We want to understand if<br />

this is PCR’s only method of<br />

cooling their building during<br />

pre-feed manufacture, how<br />

is PCR prepared to react if<br />

they proceed to active bait<br />

manufacturing.<br />

Some residents are also concerned<br />

that leaving the factory<br />

door open is a security risk<br />

that PCR should address in<br />

order to safeguard their stock<br />

of poison.<br />

If PCR were willing to make<br />

a gesture to allay the community’s<br />

concerns, I would be<br />

prepared to meet with PCR<br />

management to discuss the<br />

matter further.<br />

Leeston man makes Solomons safer<br />

NEW LOCATION ADVERT.pdf 1 1/05/2014 11:51:35 a.m.<br />

A LEESTON man is helping<br />

make communities in the<br />

Solomon Islands safe by clearing<br />

explosive remnants of World<br />

War 2.<br />

Able Diver Craig Smith has<br />

been taking part in Operation<br />

Render Safe, a multinational<br />

operation led by the Australian<br />

Defence Force to dispose safely<br />

of unexploded World War 2<br />

munitions.<br />

“It’s been fantastic to help<br />

them out and they are also our<br />

main source of information,”<br />

ADR Smith, from the Royal<br />

New Zealand Navy diving and<br />

mine countermeasures ship<br />

HMNZS Manawanui, said.<br />

“The Solomon Islanders have<br />

been living in an area scattered<br />

with tonnes of explosive<br />

ordnance for the past seven<br />

decades,” he said.<br />

“Removing these hazards will<br />

give them a safe environment to<br />

live in and the kids will be able<br />

to jump in the water without being<br />

afraid of injuring or killing<br />

themselves.”<br />

In the first week of the Render<br />

Safe operation, the combined<br />

multinational teams recovered<br />

1389 items, weighing 3.7 tonnes,<br />

of unexploded ordnance.<br />

The team of divers from<br />

Manawanui and explosive ordnance<br />

disposal experts from the<br />

Canadian Defence Force have<br />

recovered and detonated safely<br />

about 60 unexploded munitions,<br />

including a 250-pound bomb,<br />

during the operation.<br />

ADR Smith joined the navy<br />

four years ago, after graduating<br />

from St Thomas of Canterbury<br />

College.<br />

“I wasn’t sure if I should follow<br />

my brothers’ footsteps and<br />

go to university or get ‘out of the<br />

box’ to see the world and have<br />

an interesting lifestyle,” he<br />

said.<br />

“I know that sounds like a<br />

cliché but since joining the navy<br />

I’ve had many opportunities to<br />

see the world, including South-<br />

East Asia.”<br />

He said his role as a diver<br />

aboard Manawanui included<br />

maintaining the dive equipment,<br />

the decompression chamber and<br />

the diving bell.<br />

years in Perth but moved with<br />

Plans to rebuild historic cottage<br />

• By Tom Doudney<br />

A FORMER Rolleston cottage,<br />

which may have been built as<br />

early as 147 years ago, could be<br />

rebuilt following the excavation<br />

of the site where it once stood.<br />

The Dynes Rd site was excavated<br />

18 months ago, with an old<br />

land deed revealing that it was<br />

almost as old as the town itself.<br />

Rolleston will celebrate its 150th<br />

anniversary in 11 days time.<br />

Records showed that the<br />

crown sold the land to K. Kelly<br />

in 1869. A Witter Archaeology<br />

report concluded that, while<br />

that did not necessarily date the<br />

building, “such a structure might<br />

be expected to follow soon after.”<br />

The site’s owner, former district<br />

councillor Annette Foster,<br />

said she and her family were<br />

in the process of having plans<br />

drawn up to rebuild the cottage<br />

based on a photograph sourced<br />

from the Canterbury Museum.<br />

The photograph, taken in 1928,<br />

had appeared in a 2007 book<br />

by George Singleton about the<br />

former Ellesmere county.<br />

Mrs Foster and her late husband,<br />

David, had deliberately retained<br />

ownership of the cottage<br />

site on Dynes Rd when they sold<br />

the surrounding 121ha for the<br />

Faringdon subdivision, Foster<br />

Park and Rolleston College.<br />

“We thought it was really important<br />

for Rolleston to actually<br />

have something which related<br />

to its history, because Rolleston<br />

a site on her<br />

property where<br />

a cottage<br />

was built 147<br />

years ago.<br />

wasn’t really a place where people<br />

settled, it was a transient area<br />

and a lot of the land was owned<br />

by people in Leeston, Springston<br />

and Lincoln and was used as<br />

their dry land run-off,” she said.<br />

AS IT WAS: This photograph of the former cottage was taken<br />

in 1928 and later appeared in a 2007 book about the former<br />

Ellesmere county. Mrs Foster and her family plan to rebuild it.<br />

PHOTO: CANTERBURY MUSEUM<br />

“I think you would struggle to<br />

find anything in Rolleston that is<br />

older than this site.”<br />

Excavations unearthed artefacts<br />

dating to the 1880s, including<br />

Rhine pattern china, glass,<br />

wire, metal items and the remnants<br />

of household furniture.<br />

Mrs Foster said her intention<br />

was to hold occasional open days<br />

once the cottage was restored so<br />

people could view it.<br />

The cottage had been originally<br />

built as a sod cottage, but<br />

then was built on to with cob,<br />

which was unusual.<br />

It was thought to have<br />

belonged to the Kelly family<br />

who owned the property at the<br />

time.<br />

Before his death more than a<br />

year ago, Mr Foster, whose family<br />

had owned the property for<br />

75 years, had been able to recall<br />

as a child seeing a mound of sod<br />

with remnants of a chimney<br />

where the house stood.<br />

Although the excavations<br />

were carried out 18 months ago,<br />

the report into the site was only<br />

completed about three months<br />

ago.<br />

Turning 150 years<br />

old is a marvellous<br />

occasion, so<br />

Rolleston is<br />

preparing to<br />

celebrate its birthday<br />

time, effort and<br />

money to make Rolleston a<br />

better place with the 150th<br />

of volunteers have been<br />

working hard to organise a<br />

great weekend for the community<br />

with something for<br />

everyone,” says organising<br />

committee chairman, Jeff<br />

Bland.<br />

From the time that Mrs<br />

Robinson (owner of the Rolly<br />

Inn in the 1940s) built a tennis<br />

court and playground for<br />

the children of Rolleston, to<br />

the part residents have played<br />

a better place. It will also be<br />

locals who make Rolleston’s<br />

150th something special.<br />

way during the celebration<br />

weekend, or your community<br />

group would like to fundraise,<br />

STEADY HANDS: Volunteers helping in the have-a-go arena. (Right) Justine Morrison refereeing the tug of war.<br />

Volunteers wanted for Hororata Highland Games<br />

CLAN HORORATA: Volunteers enjoying lunch after packing up<br />

following last year’s Hororata Highland Games.<br />

THE CALL has gone out – it is<br />

time to assemble Clan Hororata.<br />

The Hororata Highland Games<br />

would not be possible without the<br />

support of its many volunteers,<br />

and this ‘clan’ will be vital to<br />

ensuring the success of the event<br />

on November 5.<br />

The volunteers come from<br />

within <strong>Selwyn</strong>, wider Canterbury,<br />

as far north as Auckland<br />

and south to Dunedin; all to be<br />

part of Clan Hororata.<br />

Not only are 180 volunteers<br />

needed on event day, it takes a big<br />

team to transform the Hororata<br />

Domain for the games and then<br />

to pack up again on Sunday.<br />

Christchurch resident Paul Kofoed<br />

has volunteered at the games<br />

since its inception.<br />

“Although I have never lived in<br />

Hororata or the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

I consider myself a local at the<br />

Hororata Highland Games. The<br />

community spirit is so overwhelming<br />

I get caught up in it<br />

even more each year,” Mr Kofoed<br />

said.<br />

“I attend many major events<br />

and I can honestly say the<br />

Hororata Highland Games is one<br />

of the best, from the chairman<br />

of the trust to the hundreds of<br />

volunteers; they are all passionate<br />

and proud of what they achieve.”<br />

As a member of the clan, all<br />

volunteers receive an adult pass<br />

to the event plus an invite to the<br />

Prime Smoke Clan Hororata<br />

barbecue held afterwards.<br />

Volunteers receive lunch each<br />

day with plenty of homemade<br />

baking to fill the gaps and this<br />

year will get a free Clan Hororata<br />

T- shirt, courtesy of the district<br />

council.<br />

The volunteers also get to vote<br />

on how a $4000 community fund<br />

is allocated to four nominated<br />

community groups. The groups<br />

who have been nominated this<br />

year are the Hororata Parish,<br />

Hororata Golf Club, Hororata<br />

Scouts and Windwhistle School/<br />

Playgroup.<br />

•Anyone interested in<br />

becoming part of Clan<br />

Hororata can email games@<br />

Closer connections with Indonesia<br />

FRIENDSHIP: Mayor Kelvin Coe presents a picture of a kea to<br />

the Bupati (mayor) of North Toraja. ​<br />

A TRIP by <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents to<br />

our sister city of North Toraja<br />

has opened up connections<br />

to build a closer relationship<br />

between New Zealand and<br />

Indonesia.<br />

Nine participants, including<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Mayor Kelvin<br />

Coe, farmers, and Sister City<br />

Committee chair Allison Rosanowski<br />

visited the North Toraja<br />

Regency for a week in August<br />

<strong>2016</strong>. Trip participants paid for<br />

their own travel and accommodation.<br />

The trip was the first sister<br />

city exchange between the<br />

two areas since a Sister City<br />

agreement was signed between<br />

North Toraja and <strong>Selwyn</strong> in<br />

2014.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> is the only New Zealand<br />

district to have a sister city<br />

in Indonesia.<br />

This agreement added to a<br />

relationship which had been<br />

developing for over a decade<br />

between a group of Canterbury<br />

farmers, and coffee growers in<br />

North Toraja Regency.<br />

CultureFest brings<br />

the world to <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s first ever CultureFest will feature music, dancing, performances, food and crafts from 20<br />

different cultures.<br />

CultureFest is a free event which showcases the district’s cultures with free performances, fun<br />

activities, craft and food stalls, along with activities for kids like a mega slide, SNAG inflatable golf,<br />

bouncy castles and pedalmania.<br />

CultureFest will build on the successful Lincoln Multi-Cultural Festival. CultureFest will be held<br />

every year with the venue moving between Rolleston and Lincoln in alternating years. Many local<br />

groups have joined CultureFest to share their culture with our community.<br />

The event is part of the Rolleston 150th anniversary celebrations which feature a free show on<br />

Saturday 15 <strong>October</strong> from 10am-4pm, on the corner of Jones and Hoskyns Roads, with displays<br />

including traction engines, vintage cars, motorbikes, tractors, military displays, fire engines and<br />

shearing. Other events planned during Rolleston’s 150th celebrations include an opening evening,<br />

kids movie, dine and dance and street parade.<br />

CultureFest’s activity programme includes performances from local Indian, Chinese, Polish<br />

(pictured), Russian, Italian and Greek communities, as well as a Scottish flash mob. There will be a<br />

range of fun activities for everyone to take part in and learn more about different cultures including<br />

Turkish ceramics, Oriental ink painting and Bhangra (Indian dancing).<br />

Cuisines on the menu at CultureFest include Indian, Iranian, Jordanian, German, Malaysian,<br />

Polish, Russian, Tibetan, Singaporean, South African and England (high tea and scones).<br />

CultureFest takes place on Saturday 15 <strong>October</strong> from 10am-4pm in Rolleston (on the corner of<br />

Jones and Hoskyns Roads). It is presented by the Council with support from the Christchurch<br />

Multicultural Council, Canterbury Migrants Centre, The Rotary Club of Lincoln, Rolleston<br />

Newcomers Network and Smokefree Aotearoa NZ 2025.<br />

Darfield garden waste day<br />

On Saturday 29 <strong>October</strong> between 10am and 4pm, <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />

will have the opportunity to dispose of green garden waste at<br />

Hawkins Pit. The pit is located off Cullens Road just east of Bangor<br />

Road, about five kilometres from Darfield.<br />

This is a great chance to get rid of garden prunings, tree trimmings<br />

or weeds over springtime. It costs $5 per car, $10 per ute or single<br />

axle trailer and $15 per twin axle trailer to dispose of garden waste<br />

on the day. General rubbish, soil, flax, cabbage tree leaves, trees<br />

or branches over 10cm in diameter can’t be disposed of through<br />

this service. Payment is by cash only (no EFTPOS is available).<br />

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Malvern Lions Club.<br />

A greenwaste disposal day is also planned for Ellesmere on<br />

19 November.<br />

Mayor says farewell<br />

Mayor Kelvin Coe retires next week after 21 years on the Council and<br />

nine years as Mayor. We spoke to him about his time with Council.<br />

How has <strong>Selwyn</strong> changed since you joined the Council in 1995?<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population was around 25,000 and it has now more than<br />

doubled and is about 54,000. We have changed from a largely rural<br />

district to having significant towns as well as rural communities. We<br />

now have a lot more infrastructure like sewerage and community<br />

facilities like libraries, new community centres and the Aquatic Centre.<br />

What have you enjoyed during your time on Council?<br />

The opportunity to meet great people. There are a large number of<br />

volunteers who run halls, sports, and community groups who make<br />

a huge contribution to <strong>Selwyn</strong>. I really appreciate all the assistance I<br />

have had from the community, Councillors and staff in my role and I<br />

would like to thank them all for their support.<br />

What do you consider have been the Council’s biggest<br />

achievements while you have been Mayor?<br />

Our achievements have been made by the whole of Council,<br />

Council staff, other Councillors all working together with the<br />

community. Dealing with September 2010 earthquake was both a<br />

major challenge and a significant achievement. I think we coped<br />

well as our civil defence operations centre was running early the<br />

next morning and responded well and nearly all of the roading<br />

damage was fixed promptly afterwards. The Council, and in<br />

particular our planning team, have also responded well to the post –<br />

earthquake challenges of growth. The Urban Development Strategy<br />

was already in place identifying where new development could<br />

occur and Izone development was under way so the groundwork<br />

was in place, and staff had an enabling attitude to helping people<br />

set up homes and businesses which allowed this to happen.<br />

On the roads this week<br />

Road repairs are planned on Leaches Road and Bealey Road (between Telegraph and Essendon<br />

Roads), and work is planned on North Rakaia Road and Bridge Street. Traffic controls will be in place<br />

on these roads. Footpath and kerbing repairs will take place in some areas within Izone. Maintenance<br />

grading will take place in the Hororata, Leeston, Dunsandel, Norwood, Greendale and Coalgate areas.<br />

BLEND: Elaine Jiang works on her end of year collection, Soft Shell.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Fusion of east<br />

and west<br />

in designer’s<br />

garments<br />

• By Annabelle Dick<br />

ARA INSTITUTE of<br />

Canterbury student Elaine<br />

Jiang is on a mission to<br />

mix up the local fashion<br />

scene with her eastern<br />

meets western designs.<br />

The 33-year-old was one<br />

of 12 students to showcase<br />

their collection at<br />

Ballantynes Fashion Week<br />

last Saturday.<br />

Mrs Jiang is in her third<br />

year of study towards a<br />

Bachelor of Design degree<br />

in fashion technology and<br />

design.<br />

“I like making things<br />

by hand and because of<br />

my character I’m not very<br />

talkative, so I thought I’ll<br />

go into an industry where I<br />

don’t have to talk to many<br />

people. That way I could<br />

do things by myself instead<br />

of relying on a team or<br />

other people,” she said.<br />

Her garments have a<br />

strong Japanese-influence<br />

and her pieces are mostly<br />

targeted towards the<br />

modern eastern woman.<br />

“I’m Asian and we are<br />

shorter so the silhouette<br />

of my garments are<br />

different because eastern<br />

and western bodies curve<br />

differently. So my clothes<br />

better fitting for us . . . they<br />

are quite loose, relaxed and<br />

oversized.”<br />

Originally from China,<br />

Mrs Jiang moved to<br />

New Zealand to be with<br />

her Christchurch-based<br />

husband and pursue a<br />

career in fashion.<br />

She moved to<br />

Christchurch on February<br />

19, 2011 – just three days<br />

before the earthquake<br />

that would change the city<br />

forever.<br />

“That was my first<br />

experience of New<br />

Zealand. I was really<br />

jet-lagged due to the<br />

time difference, but I was<br />

planning on going to<br />

the city to see the Christ<br />

Church Cathedral the day<br />

of the quake. I was lucky<br />

because I was changing my<br />

clothes just before leaving<br />

and then the earthquake<br />

happened . . . I didn’t get to<br />

see any of Christchurch,”<br />

Mrs Jiang said.<br />

While her cultural<br />

roots play a big part in<br />

her aesthetic, her move<br />

to Christchurch has<br />

influenced the garments<br />

she creates.<br />

“When I came here,<br />

I realised people are a<br />

lot more relaxed than in<br />

China. I want to keep my<br />

style from my background,<br />

but I’d like to fuse them<br />

both and design items that<br />

Kiwis would like,” she said.<br />

Mrs Jiang is now busy<br />

working on her end of year<br />

collection Soft Shell, which<br />

is based on a series of<br />

photographs of some of the<br />

poorest children in 1900s’<br />

England.<br />

The collection also<br />

includes elements of<br />

Japanese fashion she<br />

noticed while overseas<br />

earlier this year.<br />

“I’ve put old-England<br />

and new-Japanese together<br />

for my collection,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mrs Jiang plans on<br />

launching her own label<br />

after graduating.<br />

We have showcased the new<br />

ivyblu striped off the shoulder<br />

‘Brenda top’ ($169) with Vargo<br />

‘Unfold Bloomer’ pants ($189)<br />

This look is classic and<br />

sophisticated and the<br />

off the shoulder style<br />

is more flattering than<br />

you may imagine.<br />

Also photographed is<br />

the Vassalli Jean skirt<br />

in Barcelona colourway<br />

($119) with Vassalli white tee ($95) and<br />

Vassalli washed denim jacket ($145). This is<br />

a great casual weekend look that can<br />

IT’S TIME FOR THE SPRING FLING<br />

It is six years since the Ellesmere Spring Fling<br />

was first held and this year promises to be just as<br />

enjoyable as that of previous years.<br />

The Ellesmere Spring Fling will again be held at<br />

David Hobbs’ stunning, award winning Broadfield<br />

Garden. This garden, which covers ten acres, is<br />

of national significance and world class standard<br />

making it the perfect setting for a garden party<br />

with a difference.<br />

“The Spring Fling is a great day out,” says Janice<br />

Burnett, Chairperson of Community Care Lincoln.<br />

“Visitors can enjoy savoured arts and craft stalls,<br />

food and live music while wandering through<br />

David’s landscaped grounds.”<br />

Locals and those from further afield will have<br />

an opportunity to purchase local fresh produce,<br />

artisan foods, crafts and plants. Devonshire teas<br />

and quality food will also be served for people to<br />

partake while enjoying live easy listening music<br />

with the gardens offering plenty of places to sit<br />

and relax in beautiful surroundings.<br />

Those keen on gardening ¬¬or interested in<br />

growing their own vegetables, will have the<br />

opportunity to watch demonstrations by The Seed<br />

Warehouse while Andrea from Andreas Florist<br />

will be showing people how to make eye catching<br />

flower arrangements.<br />

“Principal sponsors, Intelligro from Weedons are<br />

also an ideal fit for the event,” says Janice.<br />

Intelligro will be showcasing a selection of their<br />

products and have some garden fertilisers for sale<br />

while their team will be there to talk to people<br />

about their gardens.<br />

David Hobbs will also be providing garden tours,<br />

giving guests an opportunity to learn more about<br />

the species growing at Broadfield Gardens.<br />

With so much on offer, those attending are sure to<br />

have a fun day out while also gaining knowledge<br />

and inspiration for their own gardens.<br />

The Ellesmere Spring Fling is the sole fundraiser for<br />

Lincoln & Districts Community Care Association<br />

Inc. (LDCC). It is completely run by volunteers with<br />

tremendous support from local businesses that<br />

include Lincoln New World, Paper Plus stores at<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council, Pub Charity Limited,<br />

Digital Print Lincoln and The Warehouse Rolleston.<br />

“We’re extremely grateful to have ongoing<br />

community support especially the members of<br />

exercise and walking group members, along<br />

with Community Care’s staff, board members and<br />

volunteers will also be helping on the day.<br />

The Ellesmere Spring Fling country garden<br />

Christmas is just around the corner and if you’re thinking of ways<br />

to tame traditions and reduce stress this year, 12 Crafty Days of<br />

Christmas offers something fresh and fun for everyone.<br />

Nin McKay is passionate about crafts and has developed a series<br />

of themed workshops where participants will learn techniques to<br />

make four craft projects. Other than bringing an apron and the odd<br />

household item, you don’t need to worry about buying the materials<br />

as these are all included in the course fee and are supplied on the day.<br />

The next two workshops are coming up in <strong>October</strong> and November<br />

<strong>2016</strong> with locations in either Rolleston or Lincoln. This is a chance<br />

to try your hand at making soy candles in a glass jar, paint dipped<br />

wooden spoons, block printed tea towel and infused oils.<br />

Adults of all ages can come along to craft and chat and the end result<br />

not only means you have a finished product to give to a loved one at<br />

Christmas, but a learned skill you can use again and again.<br />

Gardening<br />

SELWYN TIMES<br />

Flowering powerhouses create colour<br />

More flowers anyone? Rachel Vogan says to create time and space for colour in between vegetable planting<br />

New double-flowered petunia<br />

‘Surfinia Double Salmon’.<br />

When you are not up to your armpits in the<br />

vege patch, look to pots, baskets and tubs<br />

to add a blast of colour to the garden. These<br />

containers do for the garden what a scarf<br />

or a necklace does to a lady’s outfit; they<br />

punctuate and create focal points, soften hard<br />

edges and brighten anything dull and grey.<br />

This summer should be all about flowers,<br />

and the earlier your summer pots and tubs are<br />

planted the better. Hitting the shops now are new<br />

hybrids of petunia and calibrachoa; flowering<br />

powerhouses that take a bit of beating, with<br />

most of them delivering blooms continuously<br />

from late spring until the end of autumn. Look<br />

for this brand new double-flowered petunia<br />

‘Surfinia Double Salmon’ – for six months<br />

of the year all it wants to do is flower.<br />

Just coming into bloom, the Bacopa Epic<br />

series will stay this way until May next year.<br />

Crop Protection<br />

Young seedlings and cuttings appreciate<br />

some TLC when young. If you don’t<br />

have room for a glasshouse, mock up<br />

something at home (Kristina Jensen<br />

shows us how on page 51). Maybe prop<br />

up an old window on some bricks to<br />

provide some shelter, or look at a mini<br />

propagating house, which is ideal for<br />

using indoors when sowing a few packets<br />

of seeds. The larger portable outdoor cold<br />

frames are brilliant, too. Just remember<br />

that once seedlings are starting to form<br />

their first sets of true leaves they need<br />

plenty of air movement. Make sure you<br />

can prop the door open or open a vent so<br />

the young plants don’t fry on a hot day.<br />

Vegetables<br />

Plant potatoes and yams now. Both<br />

need a well-dug soil in a warm<br />

sunny spot, and remember to blend<br />

in potato food prior to planting.<br />

Sow rows of carrots, radish, parsnip<br />

and beetroot; these are all best<br />

sown directly into the ground. In<br />

regards to lettuces, jam in as many<br />

as you can, and not just in the<br />

garden – they thrive in pots, tubs<br />

and baskets. Seeds can be sown,<br />

too, and will germinate readily<br />

uncovered outside, so save your<br />

precious room in the greenhouse<br />

or on the windowsill for frostsensitive<br />

seeds like tomato, chilli<br />

and basil. To make sure you get the<br />

biggest and juiciest asparagus spears<br />

this season, sprinkle round some<br />

vegetable fertiliser now and give beds<br />

a drench with a liquid fertiliser.<br />

Strawberries<br />

How is your patch looking? If<br />

you haven’t done so already, cut<br />

off all those dead leaves from<br />

any older plants and any rogue<br />

side runners. Add a generous<br />

handful of strawberry fertiliser<br />

around the base of each plant.<br />

For new patches, it’s vital you<br />

prepare the soil first by digging<br />

it over and adding strawberry<br />

mix, this give the roots the best<br />

possible chance to spring into<br />

action. The cold nights trigger<br />

the plants to produce flowers,<br />

so the earlier you plant them<br />

the better. No need to wrap<br />

this crop in cotton wool.<br />

In Flower: Bacopa<br />

Epic Series<br />

If you are after a plant that<br />

forms a neat dome, with a soft<br />

tumbling habit that will cascade<br />

over the edge of a basket,<br />

window box or tub, then look<br />

for these wee gems. Bacopas are<br />

making a comeback and this<br />

new Epic series look marvellous.<br />

With increased flowering ability<br />

and tolerance to hot weather,<br />

their colours appeal too, coming<br />

in a range of deep pink, blue and<br />

white. They look a picture in the<br />

shops now – hunt a few down.<br />

These perky wee numbers would<br />

help punctuate any summer<br />

wedding with a twinkle of colour.<br />

gardening without guesswork<br />

Question:<br />

I planted a lot of daffodil bulbs in winter but was disappointed to see mainly<br />

only leaves came up and no flower? I planted them with compost and just<br />

assumed I would have a brilliant display of flowers?<br />

Sorry to hear that. I can imagine you are<br />

Answer: very disappointed! Unfortunately there<br />

isn’t much we can do now to fix<br />

that, but here are some tips to help prevent it happening<br />

again. Daffodils make their flower buds straight after<br />

they have finished flowering in the spring. To help<br />

ensure they flower the following season, it is important<br />

to follow these practices:<br />

1) Remove the spent flowers so they don’t set any seed<br />

2) Give the daffodils plenty of water<br />

3) Top dress with Potash fertiliser<br />

4) Do not remove the leaves or tie them in a knot to make the<br />

garden look tidy. Leave them there as these will deliver nutrients to<br />

the bulb to prepare it for the next spring<br />

All the best with the next season! If you find your bulbs are planted<br />

in an area that isn’t getting much sun, and doesn’t have good<br />

drainage, you may need to rethink your chosen spot. If you need<br />

any other information, please let us know!<br />

There is a narcissus bulb fly that sometimes attacks<br />

daffodils, which results in leaves and no flowers.<br />

If you have noticed flies around the daffodils, treat<br />

these with the same insect granules that you would<br />

for grass grub. These will be available at your local<br />

garden centre. Do the treatment after the leaves have<br />

died down, and make sure that the hole where the<br />

plant is, is covered so the insect cannot get to the<br />

bulb in the ground<br />

Plants to give your summer meal flavour<br />

• By Tod Palenski<br />

EVERY MONTH I write a<br />

gardening article on a couple of<br />

plants.<br />

I typically try and come up<br />

with some kind of unique angle<br />

or theme to get things going. But<br />

this month I’m just going to get to<br />

the point. Chives, coriander and<br />

rocket are really handy (and tasty)<br />

plants to have in the garden.<br />

Individually, they’re just such<br />

great herbs to have accessible for<br />

fresh cooking.<br />

And what do you know? Your<br />

local nurseries are likely to have<br />

chives, coriander and rocket in<br />

a mixed bundle. Mixed bundles<br />

are fantastic because they provide<br />

you with a smaller number of<br />

seedlings per herb, which means<br />

you should end up with about the<br />

right amount of each, without any<br />

taking over your garden.<br />

Once you’ve got your rocket,<br />

chives and coriander plants you<br />

need to find somewhere to grow<br />

them.<br />

Chives are the easiest to grow.<br />

The only thing you need to<br />

remember – is where you planted<br />

them.<br />

Rocket is the next easiest to<br />

grow. It likes sun. At this time of<br />

the year it can be grown out in<br />

full sun.<br />

But when we hit summer<br />

it pays to choose an area that<br />

doesn’t get hit by the midday heat<br />

to avoid sending your plants to<br />

seed.<br />

Dig through some compost into<br />

the area you plan to plant. Or add<br />

some good quality potting mix,<br />

if you’re planning on planting in<br />

large containers (around 25cm<br />

or more deep). Then plant each<br />

rocket seedling around 20cm<br />

apart. Don’t forget to watch out<br />

for snails around your rocket.<br />

Lastly, coriander. We know that<br />

this fragrant herb can be a little<br />

tricky to grow. But it’s so worth<br />

it if you get it right. My top tip<br />

for growing coriander is to plant<br />

when the weather is steady. This<br />

will prevent it bolting from the<br />

change in temperature that can<br />

occur when we change seasons.<br />

Plant it where you would plant<br />

your rocket – full sun before<br />

summer and in partial sun during<br />

summer.<br />

Just make sure it’s in freedraining,<br />

aerated soil. Mound the<br />

soil up and plant the seedling on<br />

top – this will help ensure the soil<br />

is free-draining.<br />

Remember to water lightly all<br />

your coriander, chive and rocket<br />

TASTY: Chives (left) and rocket are<br />

easy to grow, but remember where<br />

you have planted them.<br />

seedlings once planted. And don’t<br />

let the soil dry out around your<br />

coriander as this could cause it<br />

to bolt. Water all the plants in the<br />

morning to allow the water to dry<br />

off during the day and prevent<br />

disease.<br />

Remove old or yellowed leaves<br />

from your rocket and coriander<br />

to help your plants continue to<br />

flourish. And harvest the leaves<br />

often to stop them going to seed<br />

too early and encourage new<br />

leaves to shoot up. And again, if<br />

you want a continuous supply,<br />

keep planting new seedlings every<br />

few weeks.<br />

Lastly, enjoy your herbs and<br />

let me know if you have a good<br />

recipe that combines all three.<br />

Sweeten up your day with cake<br />

Penelope’s Cakery<br />

Deli has opened<br />

in New Regent St.<br />

Gabrielle Stuart<br />

reports<br />

A LEGO figure, a shark<br />

breaching the water, a five<br />

tier wedding cake, or even a<br />

mathematical equation: When<br />

it comes to cake orders, Penny<br />

Ritchie has to be ready for<br />

anything.<br />

But her biggest challenge this<br />

year has not been fondant or<br />

buttercream.<br />

She opened the doors of her<br />

New Regent St shop, Penelope’s<br />

Cakery Deli, last month.<br />

As well as selling food and<br />

her own custom-made cakes<br />

there, it was designed as a place<br />

where home decorators could<br />

get support, advice and supplies,<br />

which were difficult to find in<br />

Canterbury, she said.<br />

Although she had always<br />

enjoyed creating cakes for<br />

her children or friends, she<br />

only began decorating cakes<br />

commercially about four years<br />

ago.<br />

She owned a confectionery<br />

SOMETHING SWEET: Penny Ritchie cuts into a tasty treat at<br />

her new shop and cake supplies store.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

store in Rangiora, and she<br />

said it had been a challenge to<br />

attract customers there after the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

Branching into cake making<br />

was a way to turn the store into a<br />

destination, she said.<br />

But finding the supplies and<br />

tools she needed had often been<br />

challenging.<br />

“It was just through not<br />

wanting to say no to anything, I<br />

forced myself to learn,” she said.<br />

She hoped the Christchurch<br />

shop would make it easier for<br />

beginner cake decorators to give<br />

it a go.<br />

“We have moulds and cutters<br />

for most things and, with so<br />

much information and tutorials<br />

on the internet, now it is very<br />

easy for people to get into it, even<br />

if they have never done it before,”<br />

she said.<br />

Although creating some cakes<br />

could be a challenge, she said<br />

delivering them was often<br />

the most terrifying part of the<br />

job.<br />

“Some are quite elaborate<br />

wedding cakes that have to be<br />

absolutely perfect and the biggest<br />

challenge is working out how to<br />

transport them,” she said.<br />

“I always take an emergency<br />

repair kit, but I haven’t ever –<br />

touch wood – needed to use it.”<br />

TREAT: Penny Ritchie has<br />

created a selection of exotic<br />

cakes for customers.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

MOVIE MAKERS: West Rolleston<br />

Primary School pupils won the green<br />

screen category at the recent CORE<br />

Education DigiAwards thanks to a<br />

movie made about the school rules.<br />

The theme of this year’s awards was ‘be<br />

the change – thinking about the impact<br />

you can have on your community<br />

and ultimately the world.’ The West<br />

Rolleston pupils put together an iMovie<br />

with pupils creating a pretend news<br />

report about how the schools rules<br />

were making a difference around the<br />

world. The rules are based on values<br />

such as honesty, using only positive<br />

words and sharing. Pictured are: Top<br />

Jacob, April, Arthur and Samreen.<br />

Middle row – Ryder, Isla, Jess, Izzy and<br />

Exciting times ahead<br />

for social workers<br />

Fiona Maurice is focused on whanau. Midway through her final year work<br />

placement at Child, Youth and Family, the Ara Bachelor of Social Work student<br />

spoke of her hopes for the future for her family and for all Māori families.<br />

Working for the Māori Women’s<br />

Welfare League, as researcher and then as<br />

kaiawhina, in 2011 to 2012, Fiona loved<br />

community work but realised she need a<br />

qualification to progress and be even more<br />

effective. Coming to Ara was, she says, “the<br />

best move I ever made”.<br />

“I’ve learnt more<br />

about myself and<br />

what my strengths are<br />

and I’ve realised that<br />

determination and<br />

perseverance are good<br />

skills to have.<br />

“I believe this<br />

qualification will give<br />

me more opportunities. I<br />

want to register as a social<br />

worker so that employers<br />

will look at me more<br />

seriously.<br />

Working for Child, Youth and Family,<br />

the social work agency of the Ministry of<br />

Social Development, “didn’t faze” Fiona.<br />

“I put my hand up to go there. In terms of<br />

learning I can link a lot of my studies, such<br />

as attachment theory and developmental<br />

theory to the work, but I am also learning<br />

a lot in the office about the systems and<br />

processes.”<br />

It’s an exciting time to be at CYF, she<br />

says. “The agency is in a transformation<br />

phase. They will have a new identity next<br />

year and new processes. To be part of that<br />

wave of social work is exciting.”<br />

Her focus is clear. “It’s whanau that’s the<br />

perspective I come with.”<br />

Proud of her heritage, she<br />

affiliates to Tuahiwi Marae near<br />

Rangiora and Nga Ruahine<br />

(South Taranaki tribe). It’s<br />

an exciting time for New<br />

Zealanders, she says, because<br />

qualifications now involve<br />

learning about the Treaty of<br />

Waitangi. “More and more<br />

we will see that knowledge<br />

in action. Most of the social<br />

work students want to learn<br />

bicultural skills, but I already<br />

had that.”<br />

Receiving the Ara Eke Panuku<br />

award last year and other scholarships have<br />

been hugely helpful and Fiona says support<br />

is there for other Māori students to enter<br />

social work – a perspective the profession<br />

badly needs to better respond to Māori<br />

clients. “There are not enough of us! Only<br />

three started in my first year group of 55!”<br />

Fiona has made it a personal challenge<br />

to share her story and inspire others to<br />

consider social work.<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

Southern Institute<br />

of Technology<br />

Ensuring a safe<br />

work place<br />

Monique VanRooyen is<br />

a perfect example of how<br />

the Southern Institute of<br />

Technology (SIT) assists<br />

full time workers to move<br />

forward in their career.<br />

Working in<br />

administration at<br />

SIT for nine years,<br />

Monique jumped at the<br />

opportunity to upskill<br />

in her Administration<br />

Management career with<br />

the National Certificate<br />

in Project Management<br />

(Level 4) in June <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

The 18-week blended<br />

delivery course not<br />

only offered the content<br />

she needed to take a<br />

step forward, but its<br />

flexible hours made both<br />

studying and working<br />

viable, she said.<br />

“The biggest benefit<br />

is being able to do the<br />

course outside of work<br />

hours and also the<br />

fact that lectures are<br />

fortnightly, which allows<br />

time to complete each<br />

assignment.”<br />

Though only half way<br />

through the Project<br />

Management certificate,<br />

she said it had already<br />

increased her confidence<br />

to talk in front of large<br />

groups and had given her<br />

Monique VanRooven<br />

a better understanding of<br />

business dealings.<br />

“I enjoy the tutor’s<br />

lecturing style, he has a lot of industry<br />

based knowledge and experience in<br />

this area which enables us to grasp the<br />

concepts [of Project Management] a lot<br />

easier.”<br />

Monique said she would “definitely”<br />

recommend the course to anyone<br />

interested in a managing environment on<br />

any level, especially those looking to excel<br />

in their existing role.<br />

LeARNINg fIRST aid is not only a<br />

part of ensuring a safe work place, but also<br />

an integral part of our engagement with<br />

the wider community. We all learn the<br />

necessary skills to ensure that in times of<br />

emergency we are able to assist our work<br />

colleagues, but are we able to take these<br />

skills home, into the community or on to<br />

the sports field?<br />

Not all work places are the same and<br />

the injury risk for each place can be wide<br />

and variable. The office attended by<br />

administrators does not carry the same<br />

risk as those people working with heavy<br />

machinery, or perhaps at some distance<br />

from a regular ambulance service. It is<br />

therefore essential that you pick the right<br />

first aid course to suit all of your activities –<br />

both professional and social.<br />

Take, for example, an office worker who<br />

does not have a high risk work environment<br />

and whose concern might be to ensure<br />

that they can deal with minor cuts and<br />

superficial injuries, or the ability to perform<br />

effective CPR. These skills can be achieved<br />

on a course of eight hours duration and<br />

would generally fit into low to medium<br />

risk area. But take this same person on to<br />

a sports field either as a spectator or player<br />

when a higher level injury occurs. The eight<br />

hour course covering unit standards 6402<br />

and 6401 (or 26551 and 26552) does not<br />

cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye<br />

injuries, hypothermia and poisonings.<br />

The majority of injuries occur outside of<br />

the work place, in fact one in three injuries<br />

occurs in the home, making it the most<br />

common place for injuries to happen.<br />

New Zealand children are twice as likely<br />

to die through injury as children who live<br />

in Australia. They mostly die as a result<br />

of motor vehicles accidents or falls in the<br />

home. fatalities from leisure and sport are<br />

not far behind those in the workplace.<br />

The wider 12 hour course teaches the<br />

additional unit standard 6400 and provides<br />

a wide knowledge base for medium to high<br />

risk environments. This course covers many<br />

of the skills required to deal with the most<br />

common injuries, such as falls (which can<br />

result in head, neck and spinal injuries) and<br />

dealing with complex scenes such as motor<br />

vehicle accidents.<br />

If you are not sure on the course best<br />

suited to your needs, ask your accredited<br />

first aid training provider. They can explain<br />

the course content and give you options<br />

that will best suit your needs. Look beyond<br />

the workplace and consider your family and<br />

your location. Check that you have a good<br />

quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with<br />

replenished items, and that everyone knows<br />

where it is located.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Spring Show - Celebrating Rural Women<br />

Saturday 15th <strong>October</strong> – Gates open 8am – Ellesmere Showgrounds, Leeston<br />

President puts focus<br />

on role of women<br />

As the first woman president of the<br />

Ellesmere A & P show committee, Paula<br />

McIlraith wants to acknowledge the role of<br />

woman in our community over the decades<br />

– hence the theme of the 146th Ellesmere<br />

Show, ‘Celebrating Rural Woman’.<br />

“We have some amazing women in our<br />

community who have made a difference in<br />

peoples’ lives,” says Paula.<br />

“There are those that have supported<br />

youth through education, culture and<br />

sport, and often acted unknowingly as role<br />

models to these young people. The likes<br />

of Cath and Rosalie Brown come to mind<br />

and many others who have given their time<br />

selflessly. There are also women before<br />

their time such as Dr Helen Dougal who<br />

practised in Leeston in the 1950s and later<br />

Dr Molly Prendergast.<br />

“Going back, there was the contribution<br />

and effort of rural women during wartime.<br />

My own mother, like many others, farmed<br />

the land whilst others ran the services<br />

allowing them, in a time of necessity, to<br />

prove they were capable and adaptable.<br />

“These characteristics are still part<br />

of the modern-day rural woman who,<br />

among traditional roles, may also be the<br />

extra labour unit when things are busy<br />

Paula McIlraith, president of the Ellesmere<br />

A&P Show.<br />

and for many they are an integral part of<br />

a farming partnership which has had to<br />

adapt to a changing farming environment,<br />

especially with regards to accounting and<br />

technology.”<br />

Paula’s involvement with the show started<br />

in the horse section and she believes it is<br />

a great event that really showcases the<br />

community.<br />

She has her fingers crossed for a sunny<br />

show day and hopes that everyone takes a<br />

moment to reflect on some of those unsung<br />

female heroines who often go unnoticed<br />

and suggests, if we get the chance, to let<br />

them know they are appreciated.<br />

will once again be the focal point for the<br />

community on Saturday <strong>October</strong> 15 as<br />

young and old from across the district<br />

flock to enjoy the Ellesmere Agricultural &<br />

Pastoral Association’s annual show.<br />

Rural Women’. All the traditional activities<br />

and displays will be featured including<br />

the always-popular farmyard display<br />

of animals as possible, with one of the main<br />

draw cards the eels from Lake Ellesmere.<br />

Other animals on display will include<br />

chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, lambs and<br />

calves, while the hourly ‘needle in the<br />

haystack’ lolly scramble will keep everyone<br />

displays, the excitement of the dog trials,<br />

wood chopping, highland dancing, vintage<br />

and modern machinery, wearable arts, live<br />

music and much more will add to the fun<br />

and excitement of the day.<br />

schools, Dunsandel, Leeston and<br />

Southbridge, will compete in the Country<br />

Kids AgriSports competition. Teams of<br />

three will go head-to-head in a number<br />

of farm-related activities and team work.<br />

Activities such as catching greasy pigs,<br />

feeding calves, colouring lambs and sack<br />

races in wool packs are sure to provide<br />

entertainment and hilarity for contestants<br />

and spectators alike.<br />

been introduced, which promises to<br />

be entertaining, and even humorous.<br />

Also featuring in the tent will be<br />

some entertaining speakers. These<br />

include the New Zealand Women’s<br />

Rowing Eight coxswain Francie<br />

Turner, fresh from her trip to the<br />

Rio Olympics, and the recognised<br />

sculptor and artist Sharon Earl, both<br />

of whom will provide some insights<br />

into their interesting lives and their<br />

rural origins in the Ellesmere area.<br />

You are encouraged to visit the<br />

feature tent, where you are promised<br />

a trip down memory lane, which<br />

will leave you wondering, “How on<br />

earth did they do it all with so few<br />

conveniences?”<br />

The display will showcase what<br />

being a rural woman meant through<br />

the decades – all of who have certainly<br />

been working women. Or it may be<br />

to simply appreciate the change of<br />

styles. Call in, reflect on times gone<br />

by, enjoy the displays of clothing, art,<br />

achievement, furniture, sculpture,<br />

food, static displays of lifestyle and cultural<br />

elements, sports, equestrian, wartime and<br />

how it shaped their lives and defined their<br />

time.<br />

As well, Rural Women NZ and other<br />

groups will present displays and interesting<br />

insights into what they do for rural<br />

women whether it be locally, regionally or<br />

nationally.<br />

Almost 100 craft sites will offer<br />

an array of stalls selling goods<br />

from handmade crafts, plants,<br />

clothing, food stalls, outdoor<br />

furniture and local organisations<br />

fundraising.<br />

The trade sites will comprise a<br />

range of businesses from banks to<br />

real estate to fertiliser and power<br />

distribution companies.<br />

On the machinery sites visitors<br />

will see the latest in agricultural<br />

equipment and technology, as<br />

well as new car sales, irrigation<br />

companies, mowers and fertiliser<br />

spreading. It’s a chance to see the<br />

latest equipment and the advances<br />

in farming technology. There will<br />

also be a large selection of vintage cars and<br />

agricultural machinery.<br />

In the produce sheds, sections being<br />

competed in include cooking, homemade<br />

beverages, handcrafts, photography and<br />

flowers.<br />

For the school children there will be<br />

sections in technology, art, flowers and<br />

cooking.<br />

The poultry section will have over 40<br />

different classes with a huge variety of<br />

poultry – some you probably didn’t know<br />

existed.<br />

Sideshow attractions range from the<br />

Ferris wheel, to thrill rides, merry-gorounds<br />

and bouncy castles, plus there will<br />

be an assortment of food stalls.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> Spring Show - Celebrating Rural Women<br />

Saturday 15th <strong>October</strong> – Gates open 8am – Ellesmere Showgrounds, Leeston<br />

Changes in the<br />

equestrian section<br />

This year there are some changes in ring layout and<br />

new classes added, with organisers always looking to<br />

improve the equestrian aspect of the show. The main<br />

change will be the miniature/shetland and donkey<br />

ring, which will now be in the south-west corner past<br />

the vintage machinery area.<br />

The first of two new classes will be held in the<br />

main ring around 11am to showcase the ridden<br />

thoroughbred. With a lot more focus on what happens<br />

to horses after they finish their racing careers, this<br />

is generating support within the industry itself. The<br />

thoroughbred is bred to be an athelete, and provided<br />

the horses retire without major injury they can be<br />

retrained as excellent riding horses and many go on to<br />

be competitive sport horses.<br />

The other new class is Best Pair of Matched Ridden<br />

horses, which aims to encourage some fun in what can<br />

be a competitive discipline. In keeping with the theme<br />

of the show, president Paula McIlraith will award a<br />

special prize to the best lady rider of fences.<br />

Unique to the Ellesmere show is the trotting and<br />

pacing section, which is held in ring two at 1pm.<br />

There are inhand and driven classes, which have been<br />

well supported for many years by harness trainers<br />

Paul Nairn and Justin Smith as an opportunity<br />

to expose their potential young race horses to an<br />

atmosphere similar to a major race meet. There is<br />

also a section for ridden standardbreds held in the<br />

main ring, proving there is life after racing for the<br />

harness horse also.<br />

Jumping events include a 1.15m pony classes<br />

and a 1.30m-1.40m horse class starting at 12pm on<br />

Saturday in the Hound & Steed Creative Agency<br />

arena. There is good prize money thanks to FMG<br />

and Southfuels.<br />

The following day there will be three rings of<br />

competition ranging from small heights through<br />

to the young rider class, which goes up to 1.35m.<br />

Public admittance is free on Sunday.<br />

Woodchopping & more<br />

will draw the crowds<br />

Wood chopping is an extremely popular<br />

event at the Ellesmere Show, with large<br />

numbers of spectators coming to see some<br />

30 male and female competitors in action.<br />

The Canterbury Axemen’s Association<br />

will be running the meeting, which<br />

involves more than just turning up on<br />

the day to chop logs. The logs have to be<br />

sourced, cut down, peeled and stored<br />

before the meeting, all achieved through<br />

members volunteering their time.<br />

The Ellesmere Show Committee also<br />

spends considerable time and effort<br />

preparing the grounds, sorting out<br />

the hosting requirements, and gaining<br />

sponsorship. Sponsors include Think<br />

Water Leeston, Canterbury Waterproofing,<br />

Ellesmere Motor Bodies, McMillan<br />

Drilling Group and Stihl Shop Fosters.<br />

Events will include standing and<br />

underhand chops, single and doublehanded<br />

sawing, and some extra women’s<br />

events, both sawing and chopping, to<br />

celebrate this year’s theme ‘Celebrating<br />

Rural Women’.

This year’s shearing competition is<br />

expected to be another prime event with<br />

a good showing of competitors expected<br />

throughout the grades. The Speed Shear<br />

will be a highlight, with competitors set<br />

to shear their sheep in under 40 seconds.<br />

A blade shearer will take on a machine<br />

shearer to see who can de-fleece a sheep<br />

the fastest.<br />

across the four classes with the district<br />

dogs running on Friday afternoon and the<br />

maiden and open classes on the Saturday.<br />

It is sponsored by Brian Brice of HRL Ltd<br />

Sheep entries are up significantly this<br />

year, due to president Paula McIlraith<br />

and husband Alistair’s involvement in the<br />

stud sheep industry. Their breeds, the Poll<br />

Dorset and Suffolk, are both having feature<br />

shows, attracting increased entries in these<br />

sections. The black and coloured sections<br />

also have a feature show.<br />

The champions from each breed’s section<br />

will contest the Donald Cameron Memorial<br />

trophy for the Supreme Sheep of the Show.<br />

The best ram hoggets from each breed will<br />

contest the Connelly Cup for meat breeds<br />

and the Ellesmere Livestock Trophy for<br />

wool breeds, sponsored by Peter Walsh &<br />

Associates.<br />

The best ewe hogget contest, the Adelong<br />

Trophies, is sponsored by Essential<br />

Nutrition.<br />

The specialised competitions, the<br />

Alliance Group Export Sire Competition,<br />

the ANZCO Foods Canterbury Hoof<br />

and Hook Lamb Competition, and the<br />

Rabobank Gift Lamb competition, will<br />

again be hotly contested.<br />

This year’s dairy section will bring registered breeders from<br />

as far north as Rangiora through to the Ellesmere District and<br />

surrounding areas of Methven. Major sponsor Agrisea will again<br />

contribute to the day, along with DBC, Semex Samen NZ, WWS,<br />

Genetic Enterprises, Tahora Farm, ABS, Vitec Nutrition, Aakland<br />

Chemicals and Riverbrae Dairy Farm Ltd.<br />

The Jersey judge will be Robert Kelly from Oamaru. Robert has<br />

judged nationwide and has been invited back to this year’s show to<br />

judge the Jerseys.<br />

The Ayeshire breed will<br />

again be well represented<br />

by local exhibitors so<br />

the all breeds classes<br />

will ensure good class<br />

numbers. Richard Boyce<br />

will again be judging the<br />

calf club section with<br />

good entries throughout<br />

the different age groups.<br />

from Ashley. As an RAS judge Rob is an approved interbreed<br />

national beef judge. Originally from Culverden he currently runs<br />

the Beechwood Hereford and Charolais Studs.<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

Introducing VetEnt Lincoln:<br />

Amanda<br />

I started with VetEnt in 2012<br />

as a qualified veterinary<br />

nurse. My present position is<br />

multi-clinic coordinator forr<br />

both Lincoln and Halswell<br />

clinics. I have lived locally with<br />

my husband, children and our<br />

great mix of pets for the last<br />

14 years. When not at work I’m<br />

often found on the West Coast<br />

at the family bach out boating,<br />

fishing and enjoying time with<br />

family and friends.<br />

Sahar<br />

I have been vet nursing for 3<br />

years and currently studying<br />

towards my Diploma in<br />

Veterinary Nursing. I am a<br />

very proud mother of 2 girls<br />

aged 7 and 13 and they both<br />

keep me very busy with their<br />

sports and the youngest with<br />

her Motorcross. My hobbies<br />

include adventure racing,<br />

road and mountain biking. I<br />

love working with my team<br />

at Lincoln and enjoy chatting<br />

with all our clients.<br />

Leesa<br />

I have come from a farming<br />

background of sheep and crop<br />

just outside of Lincoln. After<br />

graduating I worked for a<br />

while in Dunsandel and then<br />

worked and travelled in the<br />

UK/Europe for 18 months. I<br />

have started as a large animal<br />

vet for Lincoln/Leeston and am<br />

looking forward to getting a<br />

good client base and settling<br />

down in the area.<br />

Rob<br />

I’ve been working as a<br />

veterinarian since the mid 80s,<br />

starting first in Wanaka before<br />

working in the UK. I work<br />

predominantly as a production<br />

animal vet, sharing my time<br />

between mid Canterbury and<br />

local <strong>Selwyn</strong> clients. After<br />

living in Ashburton for many<br />

years I moved eight years ago<br />

to Tai Tapu with the family<br />

and our menagerie of sheep,<br />

alpacas, goats, pigs and Ernest<br />

the Highland steer.<br />

health and welfare of the animals<br />

The team at VetEnt Lincoln and<br />

Leeston would like to help you<br />

to animal health and welfare so we<br />

want to make this information easily<br />

would like to introduce the Lifestylers<br />

already.<br />

Major revamp for Colorado<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

THE 2017 Holden Colorado<br />

ute is now on sale in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Although based on the<br />

model it replaces the newcomer<br />

has many changes,<br />

most evident in a completely<br />

revised interior, gains in<br />

overall quietness and ride,<br />

while handling is aided by<br />

electric power steering across<br />

the range.<br />

Under the bonnet the engine<br />

is mostly a carryover, the<br />

four-cylinder, twin-camshaft,<br />

turbocharged diesel produces<br />

147kW and 500Nm. There<br />

are choices of both manual<br />

and automatic gearboxes,<br />

along with two and fourwheel-drive<br />

options. There’s<br />

also a choice of three body<br />

styles – single-cab, spacecab<br />

and crewcab.<br />

Payload and towing capability<br />

is rated at 1-tonne and<br />

3.5-tonne respectively. A list<br />

of 77 genuine accessories<br />

available across the range.<br />

“Colorado has resonated<br />

well with customers in a<br />

segment that has more than<br />

doubled in sales in the last 10<br />

years, and we’re confident the<br />

new 2017 Colorado will build<br />

on this and redefine customer<br />

expectations of what a truck<br />

HOLDEN COLORADO: Many options within the range,<br />

including both two and four-wheel-drive variants.<br />

can be,” Holden New Zealand<br />

managing director Kristian<br />

Aquilina said.<br />

“Not only does it come<br />

with fresh new styling, it also<br />

offers car-like refinement,<br />

ride and handling as well as<br />

vehicle technologies unique<br />

to this segment including<br />

Apple CarPlay and Android<br />

Auto connectivity.<br />

“Colorado is also the only<br />

vehicle in the 4x4 utility vehicle<br />

segment to offer remote<br />

window activation – a feature<br />

we expect to be popular with<br />

customers in warmer parts of<br />

New Zealand.”<br />

Colorado’s technology offering<br />

also provides notable<br />

safety enhancements, including<br />

a new forward facing camera<br />

with active safety features<br />

such as forward collision alert<br />

and lane departure warning.<br />

For low speed manoeuvres,<br />

drivers are assisted by<br />

front and rear park assist on<br />

selected vehicles and rear view<br />

camera across the range.<br />

The Colorado also has a<br />

new MyLink infotainment<br />

system delivered through a<br />

colour touchscreen.<br />

Said Mr Aquilina: “Pleasingly,<br />

we have been able to<br />

maintain carry-over pricing<br />

for two-wheel drive models<br />

and just a $1000 increase for<br />

four-wheel drive variants.”<br />

Prices range from $39,990<br />

to $66,990.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />

in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />

Rolleston – Then & Now<br />

There is much to celebrate<br />

with Rolleston turning 150<br />

and maybe a little melancholy<br />

as some remember the town<br />

as it was.<br />

Strategically positioned by state<br />

highway one and the midland/<br />

southern railway junction, Rolleston’s<br />

origin links to the opening of its<br />

railway station, in 1866, named after<br />

William Rolleston (Canterbury’s last<br />

provincial superintendent).<br />

The area was originally a large sheep<br />

run, farmed by Fitzgerald and Cox.<br />

This was divided into smaller lots<br />

early in the 1860s, with some of the<br />

subsequent farmers names like Levi<br />

Lowe, Henry Benny and the Fosters<br />

still linked to the area.<br />

Lex Cockburn’s family moved to<br />

Hoskyns Road in 1929 where his<br />

parents ran sheep on 300 acres.<br />

“It was tough making a living out<br />

of farming,” says Lex who remembers<br />

gorse and broom right to the edge<br />

of the road and his parents sending<br />

him to Weedons School so he did<br />

not have to cross the railway line and<br />

main road, to reach Rolleston Primary<br />

School, which originally opened in<br />

1893.<br />

For much of its 125 years, Rolleston<br />

was small with few amenities.<br />

John Neville purchased a section in<br />

Rolleston in the 1970s for $800.<br />

“We could only<br />

buy icecreams or<br />

chocolate at the<br />

Rolly Inn when it<br />

was open,” adds<br />

Lex.<br />

“We played<br />

tennis on the road<br />

and my father dug a long jump pit in<br />

the footpath for us. Everyone knew<br />

each other back then,” says Eleanor<br />

Payne who has lived in Rolleston all<br />

her life.<br />

Prime Minister Norman Kirk<br />

mooted the idea of Rolleston as a<br />

satellite to Christchurch in the 1970s.<br />

“My parents owned 500 acres where<br />

Rolleston town now stands which the<br />

government purchased in September<br />

1976,” says Rayleen Clarke (nee<br />

Wilson).<br />

The government changed and the<br />

plan was shelved though floated<br />

periodically with the land sold onto<br />

private developers. Meanwhile, private<br />

enterprise promoted and developed<br />

Rolleston as the ‘Town of the Future’.<br />

“Paramount Homes built down<br />

Moore Street. I bought a full quarter<br />

acre section for $800, which was about<br />

a third less than in Christchurch, with<br />

the home and land costing around the<br />

$5,000 mark,” says John Neville who<br />

moved to Rolleston for cheap land in<br />

the 1970s.<br />

The population grew to around<br />

1,000 then later lifestyle blocks<br />

attracted people with the population<br />

steadily growing, with the Rolleston<br />

New World built in 2002.<br />

When, the 2010/2011 earthquakes<br />

Rolly Inn was once the only place<br />

that sold icecream and chocolate.<br />

Photo by Paul Markholm.<br />

wreaked homes in Christchurch,<br />

many people relocated to Rolleston.<br />

This spurred planning changes with<br />

denser housing. Housing estates filled<br />

quickly, more land opened up and the<br />

population climbed to around 14,000.<br />

Lex Cockburn and Brian Whittington<br />

who married a local girl and moved to<br />

Rolleston in 1966.<br />

Shopping precincts and public<br />

amenities have been added over time<br />

with four primary schools and a high<br />

school by 2017 and numerous preschools.<br />

Over the railway tracks, industry<br />

has grown where two inland ports<br />

see containers loaded onto trains for<br />

transporting to the ports of Timaru or<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> now has age and ethnic<br />

diversity. Once a young town,<br />

Rolleston now embraces those older<br />

with smaller sections, townhouses,<br />

over 60s units, rest homes and<br />

retirement villages being built.<br />

No wonder, the region’s growth<br />

is anticipated to reach 2.4% and<br />

Rolleston’s population to double by<br />

2<strong>04</strong>0.<br />

Jill Webb and Eleanor Payne met at<br />

Rolleston Primary School.<br />

Ange brought her favourite<br />

orange lights to us.<br />

So we worked with her to build a<br />

colour palette around them.<br />

The spring clean has a long history,<br />

and for good reason. Spring is<br />

the first opportunity to open<br />

up windows and doors, and let<br />

warm, dry air into the house, helping<br />

remove winter moisture and any additional<br />

dampness created during; for example,<br />

carpet cleaning. It’s not just about making<br />

the house look better, but also preserving<br />

the fixtures and fittings in your home,<br />

and maintaining a healthy environment<br />

by removing unwanted dust, bugs and<br />

maybe mould.<br />

Mattress care is a good example. We spend<br />

up a third of our life in bed, and it’s a dirty<br />

place. We shed skin that is devoured by<br />

millions of dust mites, and we sweat. It all<br />

causes deterioration that leads to a worse<br />

sleep. Vacuuming the mattress, turning it<br />

over and leaving it exposed to sunlight are<br />

simple things to add to your spring cleaning<br />

list for great dividends in the long run.<br />

Making a list is a good idea, albeit a little<br />

disheartening as it gets longer. You do,<br />

however, get a small reward as you tick<br />

off each item. Spring cleaning is one of<br />

those activities that is most satisfying when<br />

finished (rather than during), and lends itself<br />

to a management method called the salami<br />

technique. Use small steps to reach your goal,<br />

like slicing a salami, rather than trying to<br />

eat it whole, and you’ll get through your list<br />

before you know it. If you need a list, Google<br />

‘spring clean’ and customise to your particular<br />

circumstances.<br />

A comprehensive clean is also a good<br />

opportunity to review your possessions.<br />

There has been some great innovations in<br />

storage solutions recently, including drawers<br />

built into stairs and into the kickboards in<br />

kitchens, but you have to ask yourself – if I<br />

Many hands: Get the whole family involved<br />

in your spring cleaning!<br />

need that much storage, maybe I just own too<br />

much, and do I really need it all? Research in<br />

the USA showed there was around 300,000<br />

items in the average home, and many of us<br />

are probably not that far behind. This has<br />

spawned a movement called minimalism,<br />

where people reduce what they own. It<br />

doesn’t mean living a Spartan lifestyle where<br />

you go without; people who try it say it just<br />

feels more liberating. It’s hard to do though,<br />

as we tend to be loss averse – we place a high<br />

value on what we own, and simply don’t<br />

part with it easily. It’s much easier to clean<br />

a minimalist home, and much easier to make<br />

it look stylish. If you want to rid yourself of<br />

extra bits and bobs, try putting them on<br />

the local neighbourhood Facebook page or<br />

choose to have a garage sale, with an early<br />

start and day of fun and conversation with<br />

people.<br />

Spring is the season associated with renewal<br />

and growth, and it’s a good opportunity to<br />

use that increased energy and enthusiasm<br />

you have to get your renovation projects<br />

underway, too.
