VICTORY IN SIGHT
• By Tom Doudney
A FARMER has been ordered
to stop extending the land at the
edge of his property by filling in
the adjacent Selwyn/Waikirikiri
River bed.
Environment Canterbury
has issued an abatement notice,
requiring farmer Mike Dewhirst
to immediately stop work on the
land, on the south side of the river
near State Highway 1, after receiving
complaints from the public.
Mr Dewhirst, who grows silage
and grazes young cattle on his
riverside property, has been
taking gravel from the river and
filling in a strip of riverbed to
create pasture and a 2km long,
10m wide accessway for vehicles
and stock. Pivot irrigators have
been placed on the land.
ECan principal resource management
adviser Richard Purdon
said the work was unauthorised
and a formal investigation into
the matter had been initiated.
This was likely to take another
week to complete.
Mr Dewhirst said he had
resource consent to take gravel
from the river to form the access
lane and the work he was doing
would have environmental and
flood control benefits. He had
taken about 5000 cu m of gravel
from the river up to this point.
“It’s actually a really good thing
and a lot of farmers have been
actively encouraging ECan to increase
the amount of gravel that
gets extracted from the Selwyn
River in particular because
it’s probably 2m higher than it
should be for effective flood control,”
Mr Dewhirst said.

MORE EVIDENCE of growing
pains in the district is our page 3
article on mobile food and coffee
vans.
Councillors will vote tomorrow
on whether staff should prepare
a draft bylaw to control such
activities. There is concern that
as the district grows, there will be
many more mobile food outlets to
capitalise on the growing demand
from a growing population.
One Darfield business has
complained about the competition.
And that’s a big part of the
issue – if you are paying rent on
a building and the competition
down the road is selling from the
side of the road, it’s tough.
Also in today’s issue, Tom
Doudney profiles Hororata scout
leader David Grafton and we have
photo coverage of the weekend’s
president’s grade tennis match
between Prebbleton and Lincoln.

Council looks into
new rules for street vendors
• By Tom Doudney
A NEW bylaw may be
introduced to manage the
increasing number of mobile
food traders operating on
Selwyn’s roadsides and reserves.
District councillors will vote at
tomorrow’s meeting on whether
staff should prepare a draft bylaw
to control such activities. The
draft bylaw would be presented
for district councillors to consider
in July.
The staff report to tomorrow’s
meeting noted that there had
been an increasing number of
these traders, particularly food
carts and vans, operating or
inquiring about operating in
Selwyn, especially during the
summer months.
The report acknowledged that
careful consideration would have
to be given as to how a bylaw
would affect events, such as
farmers markets and festivals.
Mayor Sam Broughton said the
district council did not want to
make it harder for the public to
use reserves.
“It’s looking at people who
are making an income out of it,
rather than putting more red
STREET FOOD: The district council may introduce a bylaw
to manage the increasing number of mobile food traders
operating in Selwyn.
tape in place for community
groups,” he said.
The report said asset staff often
dealt with complaints arising
when traders operated on road
sides. However, difficulties arose
in persuading traders with the
appropriate licenses to relocate as
they had a common law right to
occupy public roads.
“Although the issues are not of
a particularly significant scale at
present, given the growth of the
district, requests to undertake
activities on land under the
control of the council and the incidence
of road side trading will
only increase,” the report stated.
Two street traders had operated
in Darfield over the last two
years, leading one local business
to complain about the competition
it was creating.
Other examples of mobile food
traders currently operating in
the district included a coffee cart
which parked beside the railway
station in Rolleston, a pizza cart
visiting Lincoln weekly from
September to May, as well as a
Thai food truck.
The district council currently
has a limited arsenal of
mechanisms to manage these
activities, including provisions
in the Parks and Reserves Bylaw
and a footpath rental policy.
However, there is no formal
process in place to assess
applications or keep track of
them.
A bylaw would guide the
granting of licences for trading
in public places, the types of
trading allowed, health and
safety, pedestrian access,
consideration of established
businesses and traffic flow.
The Ashburton and Timaru
district councils already have
bylaws covering trading in public
places, while the Christchurch
City Council and Hurunui
District Council control such
activities via clauses in their
public places bylaws.
Mr Broughton said the aim
was to have the bylaw in place in
time for the following summer,
so there was no urgency to
prepare it before July.
The time would allow staff to
do thorough research on what
had worked elsewhere.

Darfield area resident
Take care on the roads
Senior
Sergeant
Pete Stills
writes on
policing
matters in
Selwyn
IT HAS been a really interesting
year for policing in Selwyn.
When I started in the
Christchurch west area as the
police community services
manager three years ago, my
mandate was to lead a change to
the prevention first policing model.
The purpose being to create a safer
community and a place where
residents and others felt safer.
At the front of the model is a people
focus particularly on victims
or potential victims. Within the
focus there are five areas that drive
the focus – families, alcohol, youth,
organised crime and policing the
roads.
It was obvious that the greatest
single policing risk in the area was
vehicle crashes involving death
and/or serious injury.
Statistically the greatest number
of serious crashes were happening
at intersections. It was evident that
failing to stop at intersections was
a massive problem and it was apparent
that motorists were failing
to be aware of approaching stop
controlled intersections.
This year we have trialled the use
of LED light advanced warning
signs at some intersections. It is too
early to gather statistical data to
make comparisons with historical
data but my observation is that
safety improvements have reduced
crashes at those locations.
Policing is really about health
and safety.
An issue this year has been the
high percentage of burglaries and
thefts occurring where security
is poor in that people have failed
to utilise locks. It can be really
frustrating for us as there is a very
simple solution.
I won’t say too much as an earlier
article I wrote regarding this issue
caused one young man to decide
to try his luck as it sounded all too
easy. Fifty-plus burglaries later he
was apprehended.
As we enter the festive season it
is timely for me to remind drivers
that police will be actively operating
drink drive enforcement in
Selwyn to ensure that everyone
is safe. We encourage motorists
to plan for sober drivers and to
utilise courtesy vehicles when using
licensed premises.

Grant Prescott writes
in response to a
Selwyn Times article
about a Lincoln
resident’s frustration
over a section of road,
West Belt, remaining
unsealed
We live on a shingle
road just outside Darfield
that is a complete disgrace,
more like a thirdworld
road and all the
council do is come along,
shove stones back in the
potholes and within a day
they are all flicked out and
hey presto, the potholes
have returned.
When we ask about
sealing, the council claims
to do a survey to count
vehicles but every time
they do it at peak summer
time when schools
are closed, businesses are
closed, people are on holidays
and there is no local
movement.
I note Selwyn took an
extra $50 off everyone for
roads to assist with sealing.
Where did that go?
District council chief
executive David Ward
responds:
The district council
does not currently fund
seal extensions on existing
rural roads. This policy
was adopted a number of
SELWYN TIMES
years ago after rising costs
made it unaffordable to
continue the sealing of
low-volume rural roads.
It also recognises the
increasing cost of maintaining
the sealed roading
network and other funding
priorities needed to
cater for significant traffic
growth across the district,
including an increase in
heavy vehicles.
Many rural roads have
low traffic volumes which
don’t justify sealing at a
cost of around $150,000
to $200,000 per kilometre.
Current budgets allow
for regular grading and
maintenance work, which
provide an appropriate level
of service based on usage.
The $60 targeted roading
rate was introduced
in 2014/15 to fund additional
road resealing and
reconstruction, to prevent
further deterioration.
Reconstruction work
is needed on some busy
main routes where the
road pavement needs to
be rebuilt to address long
standing maintenance
problems and reduce
ongoing costs.
Since its introduction
this has contributed to
road rehabilitation work,
over and above what
would otherwise have
been programmed.
Flick the switch
and light the
deer up.

University could cut 51 jobs
•From
• By Tom Doudney
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY staff
are angry at the proposed axing
of 51 jobs and want more input
into the university’s future
direction, Tertiary Education
Union president Dr Sandra Grey
says.
The staffing cuts are part of
the university’s latest change
proposal, aimed at resolving its
flagging financial situation with
a $5 million deficit and falling
enrolments.
Several courses, including
four science majors, were cut in
October and more than 100 had
already been cut in 2013 and
2014.
About two thirds of the new
cuts would be in Canterbury and
the remainder would be at its
Telford campus in Balclutha.
Dr Grey said staff were
“rightly” very angry.
“They feel there has been a lot
of change and a lot of consultants
brought in and a lot of
not listening to people on the
ground who know the courses,
the students and the industries
they are teaching for. They are
finding that very difficult that
they are not more involved in
the discussions and deciding
what is going to happen,” she
said.
“It’s always tough when there
is major change proposed but
in particular, the Lincoln staff
had their last major restructure
only two years ago, they feel they
have been through the ringer
once and they’re about to be put
through quite a harsh process
again.”
A university spokeswoman
said it was acknowledged that
this was a stressful time for
staff, and internal and external
support was being provided to
them.
“The change proposals that
have been released are exactly
that, proposals. This is an opportunity
for staff to contribute
to the outcome,” the spokeswoman
said.
“The university recently announced
the ‘resuscitation’ of
academic governance. All proposals
concerning courses and
programmes brought to the academic
board are first developed
at faculty teaching committees
BAD NEWS:
Lincoln
University is
proposing
to cut 51
jobs.
Inset –
Sandra
Grey ​
where staff can provide direct
input.”
Ms Grey said the union would
be putting forward a submission
opposing the cuts.
The university’s vice-chancellor
Robin Pollard has admitted
the staff cuts will not be enough
on their own.
Staff have also been asked to
take leave to reduce financial
liabilities and the university is
looking at selling some of its
assets and partnering with other
institutions.
Farmer in
river land battle
page 1
He said getting rid of the gorse
on the riverbanks removed a
source of nitrogen going into
the river and he also had a plan
to plant 8000 pittosporum trees
around his property, including
along the riverbank.
However, Dunsandel resident,
Alan Goodwin, said the case
was the “tip of the iceberg” with
many landowners expanding into
river bed land which he said was
ruining the environment and its
recreational value.
Mr Dewhirst said he would
“eventually” be interested in buying
the land but for now it was
more a case of “being steward of
the land.”
Mr Goodwin, has complained
to ECan about the work on Mr
Dewhirst’s land.
“I am sick and tired of rivers
being abused for the few at the cost
of the many.”
Mr Purdon said while there had
been pressure on all Canterbury’s
riparian margins as farming land
values increased and practises
intensified, land owners generally
sought permission before farming
these areas.
“Where we know about those that
breach Environment Canterbury
rules, like putting in illegal structures
or grazing cattle in river beds,
we have taken action,” he said.

FOR THE 2017
ABOUT 15 district council staff
have been helping out with the
earthquake response in North
Canterbury.
They have been working in
the region since Monday last
week, when the 7.8 magnitude
earthquake struck near
Culverden. The quake has been
followed by a series of significant
aftershocks.
The district council’s incident
command bus has also been in
North Canterbury for the week,
being used by response teams
working in Waiau. The bus is
designed to be used at significant
rural fires or emergencies and is
equipped with Wi-Fi and radio
communications.
District council staff trained in
emergency management
have also been rostered on this
week to assist with incident coordination.
Four building staff have been
assisting with building inspections
in Waiau, with two other
staff working in welfare management
roles.
Community resilience coordinator
Jason Flewellen was
also among the staff who spent
time in North Canterbury. He and
another staff member took the bus
to Waiau, with 20 New Zealand
Response Team members from
Christchurch.
“The response team managed
to visit 130 properties to complete
rapid impact assessments on the
day. Some of the houses there had
major damage and there were

“The visits were focused on
identifying any welfare needs
people had. Our role was to
respond to requests for assistance
and resolve them or refer them to
local civil defence headquarters to
be actioned if needed.”
Several Selwyn volunteers from
community response teams also
offered to assist with the earthquake
response and were placed
on standby to support evacuees
from Kaikoura and other affected
areas at Canterbury welfare centres.
Mayor Sam Broughton said it
was great to see the community
was helping in practical ways,
with groups in Rolleston and
Darfield collecting supplies for the
response.

born in Southland but I left there
in pre-school so Westport is
actually what I call home.
How did you get into
scouting?
I joined venturer scouts over
in Westport before I left school. I
was never in any of the younger
ones and then at 18, that’s as far
as you can go in scouts and you
have got to become a leader (if
you want to stay involved) so I
did in 1982.
Have you been involved in
leading scouts ever since?
I’ve had broken service off
and on, I’ve moved around the
country a bit. I left the West
Coast and came to Canterbury
in the mid-1980s farming up the
Rangitata Gorge, and then ended
up in the North Island for six
years.
What was it that made you
want to become a venturer?
The guys I was at school with
were doing it and I thought
‘yeah, this is a bit of me.’ We
spent most of our time as
venturers caving and I got a
real buzz out of that. A lot of
the time we spent was at a place
called Honeycomb Hill. We
were the original group that
mapped that and it is a massive
system, which is closed off now
because of the value of what
is in there which could be too
easily damaged. There are a lot of
moa bones and we found a full
Haast eagle skeleton, which is

leg.
in the Canterbury Museum. We
would spend a whole weekend
underground, just going in on a
Friday night and staying there.
Were you farming when you
were in the North Island as
well?
No, I got to the stage where
I wanted to make a decision as
to whether farming was what I
wanted to end my life doing so
I got as far away from farming
as I could so I actually went and
sat behind a desk, I wore a suit
and tie. I enjoyed it while I was
there, but I was getting sick of it
when the company got bought
out and I got made redundant.
So it all sort of worked out really
good, but it made me sit down
and think that farming was what
I was born and bred for and I got
back into it.
What sort of company were
you working for?
It was a big laundry based in
Taupo and they supplied all the
linen for the big hotels. My job
was sales and service manager
so I was in charge of a fleet of
drivers, I was out making sales,
getting new clients and chasing
bad debts. It was exciting for a
while but I missed my stock and
my dogs and everything.
Do you have any other interests
outside of scouting and
farming?
Probably just sheep dog trialling,
but at the moment I haven’t
the time and my dogs are not
quite up there yet. I had quite
a good heading dog years ago,
called Stacey, that I trialled. Unfortunately,
she got injured quite
young in life and I was pretty
successful at a couple of sheep
dog trials with her.

Our pre-Christmas exhibition
is once more, a lovely mix of
five female artists working in
a range of media, both two and
three dimensional.
Jane Downes continues to play with her
dandelion structures. She manages to
make metal ethereally beautiful.
Katrina Perano’s anthropomorphic painted
portraits of familiar and exotic creatures are
so endearing.
Blanche Fryer is a whimsical ceramic artist
who incorporates painting into her recycled
native timber framed artworks.
Kate Beatty uses appropriate botanical
references in repeating pattern as a
backdrop to her detailed and beautiful
native bird paintings.

and his three-legged sheep dog
She broke her leg badly and
they couldn’t save the leg so I
ended up with a three-legged
dog – and that’s when she won
the trials, she only had the
three legs at that stage. But then
she went on to injure her only
other back leg and at that stage,
unfortunately, the vets had to put
her to sleep.
Is it as impressive as it sounds
that she won those trials with
three legs?
Yes, at the Loburn North
trial she won all nine trophies
available. She was actually the
only dog, whether three-legged
or four-legged, to have won
all the trophies available in a
particular year at that trial. A
back leg doesn’t restrict them
as much as you might think it
does, losing a front leg is a lot
harder on them. But she was an
exceptionally good dog.
How did she injure the first
leg that she lost?
She jumped off my fourwheeler
to catch a sheep for
me and it was just the way she
landed on the ground, her back
leg broke. I had to take her to
specialists in Christchurch
and they put it back together
with a whole lot of pins and
external scaffolding on it but,
unfortunately, infection got into
SCOUTING: David Grafton at a recent venturers camp.
it and they couldn’t save the leg.
She had the amputation and
was happily back at work within
10 days. But I always knew that
probably one day her other back
leg would be her downfall and
she injured it to a point where
the vet said it’s just not fair. That
wasn’t one of my better days
when I had to make the final
decision.
How did she injure the other
leg?
She was heading a mob of deer
for me and she went through a
drain, the leg went into the mud
and it pulled the joint out. Had
she had another back leg, you
could strap that one up and she
could take the weight off it and it
would heal, but that was her only
back leg so she couldn’t stand up
at all.
Do you and your wife [Jacqui]
have any kids?
We have identical twin boys,
Thomas and James, who just
turned 15. They’re both venturers.
Is that interesting having
identical twins?
It was a bit trying to start off
with, getting to know who was
who, but even though I don’t
think they look alike, most
people say they do, but they have
two completely different personalities.
How long did it take you to
start being able to tell them
apart?
Thomas was born with a wee
strawberry birthmark on his
forehead and that stayed there
until just before he started
school. The one thing Jacqui
decided right from day one was
we would not dress them the
same. Thomas has his colours
and James had his colours so
that they did develop their different
personalities. In saying
that, there is something there
about twins – some connection,
some force, I don’t know what
it is, but when they were little,
they had their own language
and they knew what was going
on between one another without
other people knowing what was
going on.
With all the adventures you
would have been on over the
years, can you think of any
times when you or your scouts
had to use your special scout
skills to get you out of a difficult
situation?
No, through good planning I
have never got into a situation
which has not been part of what
was planned. The last trip we
did with the venturers was up
the back of Mt Somers. We spent
two days in the snow up over our
knees. In the second hut, we met
a group of German students that
had gone in there, some of them
were wearing sand shoes, one

Museum.
had no sleeping bag, they had no
safety equipment at all and were
going to carry on to the next hut.
We strongly advised them they
really shouldn’t be there.
I suppose scouting must be
like having a big family for you
in some ways.
Scouting is like a family. You
see them grow and develop and,
although I have only been here
five years, five years in a young
person’s life is a long time. I say
to all of them, ‘I am here to help
you as much as I can to achieve
what you want to achieve, I am
not going to spoon feed you but
if you want my help, you know
where I live, you know my phone
number,’ and I personally get a
real buzz out of seeing the kids
get something out of it themselves
and achieve goals.

Back to the future for Jordan Luck
Jordan Luck has written some of New
Zealand’s most iconic rock anthems. He spoke
to Tom Doudney about life after The Exponents
and the inspiration behind his latest material
ahead of The Jordan Luck Band’s performance
at Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds concert in March
MORE THAN 30 years after
their debut single Victoria
established The Exponents as
Kiwi rock heavyweights, singer
Jordan Luck’s songwriting is
again in the spotlight.
His new outfit, The Jordan
Luck Band, was nominated for
best rock album at Thursday’s
New Zealand Music Awards.
It didn’t win the award but
Luck said it was phenomenal to
have the album, Not Only . . .
But Also, getting such a positive
reaction.
While his songwriting hadn’t
changed much over the years,
he works harder on the lyrics
these days than he did in the
early years of The Exponents
(originally known as The Dance
Exponents).
“I find the tunes are still coming
out of the air for me but it
takes a lot longer to do lyrics
than it did,” Luck said.
“I was pretty spontaneous back
in the day, whereas now I am
a wee bit conscious of the fact
I might be singing these in 20
years again, so I really want to be
singing something that I want to
be singing.
“That has been the case since
about 1990, when Victoria was
about 10-years-old and I was
thinking ‘wow, people still really
like this song, I wonder what
is going to happen to the new
stuff?’ And here we are nearly 20
years later and people are still
singing ‘Why does love do this
to me?’ And I’m going, ‘flipping
hell, I better make the next one
really good’.”
However, Luck said this process
had resulted in his best lyrics
yet on Not Only . . . But Also.
“Even if you didn’t hear the
music, it’s a good read,” he said
The songs, written over the last
three years, cover some very New
Zealand territory, often with an
interesting twist. There is one
about a murder in Lake Tekapo,
another about selling paintings

Sounds concert in March.
on holiday in Southland and “a
beautiful one” inspired by his
memories of getting lost near the
Wanganui River while on a road
trip with original The Dance Exponents
guitarist Steve Cowen.
He and Cowen, who died in
1986, had been on their way to
record Victoria at the time, when
Luck, who was behind the wheel
of their Bedford van, decided
to take an alternative route.
The Exponents’ induction into
the New Zealand Music Hall
of Fame last year, with Cowen
also recognised, had brought the
memories back.
“The song is really about missing
him in a way that is pretty
strong.”
Luck said starting a new band
after the success of The Exponents
had been tough in some
ways.
“The Exponents turn up all the
time, there is no getting away
from that – we got into the hall
of fame last year and now there is
a TV film that they are doing on
The Dance Exponents.”
However, he still enjoyed playing
the old songs and said the
band’s performance at Selwyn
Sounds was likely to be about 75
per cent The Exponents material.
Unlike many of the line-up, it
will not be Luck’s first time playing
in Lincoln. The Exponents
have played a number of gigs at
the university over the years.

Why top athletes use Chiropractic care
Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps are among the
many elite athletes who use a chiropractor to
ensure they are performing at the top of their
game. They see the benefit in not only training
hard but keeping their body at optimum ability to
ensure they can always get the best from it.
You don’t need to be performing at this level
of sport to see the benefits a chiropractor can
make in your life to ensure your body is working
at its peak.
I provide physical solutions including
adjustments, exercises, stretches and muscle
therapy – to readjust the body or help it heal
from conditions that are physical in origin. These
can include problems such as back pain, muscle
spasms, headaches and poor posture.
What you may not know is that it is also
completely appropriate to receive chiropractic
care even though you may not have symptoms.
Unlike standard medical doctors who you visit
when you have symptoms that need to be
treated, chiropractors offer adjustments to
improve spinal alignment and overall wellbeing
– and can prevent the pain or other symptoms
even starting.
Going to a chiropractor is much the same as
going to the dentist or gym or even leading
a healthy life – it prevents problems from
reaching critical stage where you can become
incapacitated and as long as you keep up with
regular visits, then you continue to enjoy the
benefits of a life feeling well.
I have been providing Chiropractic
Care for patients for more than 15
years of and over that time I have
gained outstanding results for my
patients. These people have come to
me for a variety of reasons, here are
just some of them.
Suffering illness,discomfort or
pain These symptoms are signs
of dysfunction in your body. This is
a important time to remove nerve
interference and irritation to ensure
your spine functions optimally and
symptoms are alleviated.
5 Warning Signs
Accident or trauma
Car or bike accidents and falls can cause severe
spinal stress and subluxations If not attended to
these can cause or contribute to health problems
later in life.
Active exercise/sport
Chiropractic care gives you an edge. Many
professional athletes and sportspeople seek
regular chiropractic care to ensure they are working
at their optimum.
Pregnancy/Childbirth/Infant caring
The hormonal and physical changes in pregnancy
create spinal stress. The birth process can be
traumatic for both mother and baby, and both may
require care following delivery. Caring for a baby
or infant can contribute to neck and/or back pain
ie: position of mother during breast feeding and
bending to pick up baby.
If you would like to learn more about how I can
assist you in any of these areas please contact me
today.

Pilot’s war exploits in print
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
PILOTING Lancaster bombers
and losing two brothers in World
War 2 are a few of the stories in a
book about two Selwyn residents’
father.
THe stories of Barrie and Kevin
Mallon’s father Bill in World
War 2 were published recently on
the other side of the world.
THe late Bill Mallon’s exploits
for the Allies in the United
Kingdom, and training exercises
in Canada and the United States,
have been published by English
author Vic Jay, whose father
served alongside Mr Mallon in
World War 2.
Retired teacher Mr Jay’s book
The Mallon Crew covers the
story of his own father Bob Jay, a
flight engineer in the No 75 New
Zealand Squadron, whose crew
included pilot Bill Mallon.
Barrie, a Lincoln resident, and
Kevin, from Rolleston, grew up
in Gisborne and New Plymouth
in the 1950s, just years after their
father returned from serving
in the war with the Royal New
Zealand Air Force.
Kevin Mallon said he fondly
remembers sitting in the cockpit
of a Lancaster bomber, the same
type of plane as the one his
father flew in, about 10 years ago
FINAL MISSION: Lancaster AA-W on its final mission heading to Bad Oldesloe in Germany on
April 24, 1945. Inside the cockpit is Bill Mallon (right) and Bob Jay. ​
with his father. It was during a
visit to the Museum of Transport
and Technology in Auckland.
Mr Jay said his book is about
a small group of unremarkable
men “thrown together briefly”
during the last months of the war
and the way their stories have
unfolded 70 years on.
As they grew up, the brothers
constantly asked their father
about his service and his stories.
He would tell them tales and
take them to air shows across
the country as they grew up,
which peaked Barrie’s interest
in aviation. He works for Air
New Zealand engineering and
manages spare parts for aircraft.
Mr Jay contacted Barrie
Mallon in 2012 asking if he was
the son of Bill Mallon. After four
years of correspondence, they
have never met and never spoken
on the phone.
“I’ve never met Vic, we’ve
only emailed throughout the
four years. But I asked him
recently for his phone number,”
he said.
Barrie Mallon said Mr Jay at
one stage asked why his father
had left the war so quickly to get
back to New Zealand when the
final mission was completed.
“After their last mission, no
one knew why he left (Europe)
so quickly. I explained that he
had two brothers . . . killed in the
war and he was the [family’s] sole
survivor. A petition was put to
the New Zealand Government
at the time by the local people
of New Plymouth to bring him
back,” he said.
Meetings
planned for
outlying areas
• By Tom Doudney
THE DISTRICT council has
scheduled about half as many
meetings next year, cutting back
from two meetings a month to
one.
The district council will also
hold three meetings outside
Rolleston, a move previously signalled
by Mayor Sam Broughton.
Meetings will be held in Lincoln
in April, Darfield in June and
Leeston in September.
The Malvern Community
Board will do the same, holding
four meetings outside of Darfield
next year. They will be in Arthur’s
Pass in February, Sheffield
in May, Glenroy in August and
Lake Coleridge in November.
Mr Broughton said the district
council meetings in Lincoln, Darfield
and Leeston would seek to
include items of local importance
to each area on the agenda.
The reason for cutting back
to one meeting a month was
because with two meetings a
month, many of the agendas had
not been very full.
“To make better use of
councillor time, we decided to
have monthly meetings,” Mr
Broughton said.

School prepares for milestone
• By Tom Doudney
TAI TAPU School will
celebrate its 150th
anniversary in March at its
biennial fair.
The school opened in
January, 1867, only three years
after the national education
board was formed, with 23
pupils.
Principal Andrew Barker
said celebrating the school’s
milestone was exciting.
“The school has been a big
part of the community over
that time and although the
township has increased, it has
still very much got its rural
flavour,” he said.
The school had been based
at several different sites over its
history.

pupils, teachers, Parent Teacher
Association members, and
The golden wedding anniversary of Mr and
Mrs George Foster was celebrated in 1913.
They were married in 1863 and came to New
Zealand in 1880 on the Edwin Fox. They settled
in Springfield. They had 13 grandchildren and
nine great grandchildren.

No Z Energy or BK for Rolleston
• By Tom Doudney
Mark Alexander
RUMOURS OF a new petrol
station and fast food joint
in Rolleston have had cold
water poured on them by the
companies involved.
Rumours have been circulating
on social media that
Z Energy and Burger King
planned to open on a shared
site in the town.
Z Energy
spokeswoman
Georgina Ball
said the company
would
like to have a
site in Rolleston
but at this
stage nothing
was planned.
“It’s a growing area and the
roading changes will make it a
good stopping place for people
heading to and from Christchurch,
but at this stage, we have
no plans to build one,” she
said.
“We are, however, always
looking for suitable places to
build service stations and a
Rolleston site could happen if
we can find the right place to
build and get approval.”
Burger King general
manager of marketing James
NOT YET: A joint Z Energy and Burger King site rumoured to be built in Rolleston won’t be
going ahead at this stage.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Woodbridge said there were
“no details to share as we have
not made any commitment to
opening in Rolleston.”
A district council
spokeswoman said no
resource consent application
had been received for either a
Z Energy or a Burger King in
Rolleston.
District councillor Mark
Alexander said the town’s
only current petrol station,
Rolleston BP on State Highway
1, could sometimes be busy
but it usually wasn’t too bad.
It would be a commercial
decision if another operator
wanted to set up in the town,
he said.
“There is a business
opportunity there but it is up
to someone to grasp that,” he
said.
A Caltex diesel truck stop
on Hoskyns Rd was opened
last year.
Rolleston resident Lynley
Shaw said it would be nice to
have a petrol station on the
other side of town but she
appreciated that would come
down to the business case for
petrol companies.
“I’d much rather have one
that’s really good than two
that are struggling,” she said.
“I do think there is enough
traffic that goes past . . . but
to be fair, other than long
weekends, I don’t have to wait
too long [at the BP].”

New sports club will promote hockey
• By Tom Doudney
A NEW sports club has been set
up to foster hockey in eastern
Selwyn.
While hockey would initially
be the main focus of the
Waikirikiri Sport club, it is
intended to eventually include
other sports which are currently
not widely available in Selwyn.
Waikirikiri Sport president
Lyndal Marshall (right) said the
club intended to enter junior
hockey teams up to under-13
level into next year’s Canterbury
Hockey winter competition.
It would also offer a range of
programmes to develop coaches
and provide support to high
school hockey teams playing in
Christchurch.
“Hockey has been the driving
force to get it going, but because
there is such a demand for sports
out here, we have set up the club
in such a way that other sports
can come on board in the future
and give people access to other
sports that aren’t currently out
here,” she said.
The district already has the
Malvern Hockey Association,
based in Darfield, and Lincoln
High School has its own hockey
teams, and some residents
in eastern areas play for
Christchurch clubs.
Eastern Selwyn has been short
of facilities for players to practice
on but the district council, with
support from Waikirikiri Sport,
will put in a half hockey turf at
Rolleston’s Foster Park by early
next year.
This will be able to host junior
hockey games and practice
sessions for senior players.
Mrs Marshall said the club
aimed to bring the game to
Selwyn residents who might not
otherwise play hockey.
“It will now become a feasible
option for locals because the
practice facilities are right here,”
Mrs Marshall said.
The club will work with
Lincoln High School, Lincoln
University and the yet-to-open
Rolleston College. Lincoln High
School head of sport Craig
Crawford said starting a new
club from scratch presented some
exciting opportunities.
“From my school’s point of
view, we are interested in seeing
the game grow and be supported
by the club,” Mr Crawford said.

Selwyn boys part of cup
winning football squad
TWO 11-YEAR-OLD Selwyn
footballers, Finlay Cotton and
Liam Murdoch, have been
reunited with the trophy their
team won a month ago in a
gruelling four-day tournament in
Sydney.
Finlay and Liam were part of
the Timaru-based Aoraki Football
Academy team which won
the Sydney International Cup
in the tournament held at the
Sydney Academy of Sports.
The cup itself is now rotating
around the Aoraki team, and will
be in Selwyn for the next two
months.
Aoraki started the tournament
strongly by beating runners-up
from last year, Narrabeen Strikers,
4-0. They then progressed
through pool play unbeaten, with
excellent performances against
the International Football School
(2-0 win) and Soccer de Brazil
(6-0 win).
In difficult, hot and humid
conditions in the semi-final, the
Aoraki boys kept their nerve and
beat Anderson Soccer Academy
3-0. Finlay had an outstanding
game and scored all three goals.
Against strong opposition, Aoraki
did well to concede only one
goal in all games leading up to
the final.
The team’s defensive strength
IN HAND: Finlay Cotton (left) and Liam Murdoch will get to look
after the Sydney International Cup over the next two months,
which was won by their Aoraki Football Academy team.
was due in large to consistent
performances from its centre
backs, including Liam.
The final was a particularly
physical game against a tough,
technical and well-drilled Gold
Coast United side. United went
1-0 up early in the game, and a
rugged battle ensued as Aoraki
tried to get a foothold in the
match. With six minutes to
go, Hayden Teixeira equalised
for Aoraki after a goalmouth
scramble.
Then, as extra-time beckoned,
and with only one minute left on
the clock, Finlay leapt up to head
home the winning goal from a
corner. Coach Jaime Linton was
full of praise for his Aoraki team.
“It was a tremendous performance
from the boys to handle
the pressure so well and come
back from a goal down in the
final,” he said.
Linton, together with Jason
Power, both of whom run the
Aoraki Academy, planned the
Sydney foray methodically but
admitted the team had exceeded
expectations in performing so
well against high-quality opposition.
Linton was particularly proud
of the boys’ on-field and off-field
conduct.
“The boys learned heaps and
we got lots of compliments from
tournament officials and organisers
about the boys’ behaviour.
We’ve been invited back next
year and, as champions, we’ll
certainly be looking to go back
and defend our title,” he said.
A COUPLE of the area’s top
ladies’ bowls players clashed in
the Ellesmere Open on Friday,
but it was Lincoln’s Lyndsey
Withell who came away with the
trophy.
Withell defeated two-time
defending champion Serena
Matthews, of Southbridge, in
the final at the Lincoln Bowling
Club.
Heading into the last three
ends, Withell led 12-5, but Matthews
drew on her experience,
clawing her way back to go into
the last round down just 12-11.
However, Withell’s steady draw
game had her holding the shot
she needed with a bowl to spare.
Matthews’ final bowl missed by a
whisker to give Withell the win.
Earlier, the day had begun with
four qualifying games, which
saw the field of 10 reduced to four
semi-finalists.
Both semi-finals were onesided,
with Withell defeating
Akaroa’s Melva Parke and
Matthews beating Diamond Harbour’s
Pauline Smith.
No doubt Withell and Matthews
will look forward to meeting
again in two weeks when the
open pairs competition is played
in Diamond Harbour.

THE WEEKEND competition
was a stroke round and the
weather came to the party. This
meant that both our morning
and afternoon fields were strong
and with the course in great
condition, it was there for the
taking.
Dominic Brettkelly did
exactly that, shooting a gross
62 (six birdies and 12 pars) off a
plus two handicap, setting a new
course record.
Darrin Lewis had a great
round also with a net 59 and
three others shot net 61. It was
tough to get amongst the prizes
this weekend.
Dave Allen also won the
Fitzgibbon Rosebowl for 2016
defeating Alec Martin in the
final.

Be alerted in an emergency
Selwyn has its own community based emergency response
support and notification network called Selwyn Gets Ready. The
system allows people to sign up for free to receive alerts via text or
email in an emergency. This alert system operates in conjunction
with local volunteer networks who check on households needing
support and provide assistance if needed or request help from
Council where required.
The Selwyn Gets Ready system was used last Monday to send
warnings and advice following the North Canterbury earthquakes.
To join this system visit www.selwyn.getsready.net
If you or someone you know would like assistance and support in
the aftermath of the recent quakes, there is help available. Please
contact the Canterbury Support Line on 0800 777 846 (7 days a
week 9am-11pm).
If you would like to make a donation to support those affected by
the recent earthquakes please visit www.redcross.org.nz
Real time travel information is now available to people travelling between a number of Selwyn
towns and Christchurch city.
New sensors have been installed on many busy routes across Christchurch city, Selwyn and
Waimakariri. The sensors monitor travel times between different locations by locating
Bluetooth IDs from devices inside vehicles and tracking how long it takes vehicles to travel
between these locations.
In Selwyn, the sensors provide live travel times to and from Rolleston, Lincoln, Prebbleton,
West Melton, Tai Tapu and Christchurch city via main travel routes. Travel times by bus and
bike are also provided for some routes, along with bus fares and estimated journey costs by
car for comparison.
Sensors to monitor Selwyn’s local arterial roads connecting to Christchurch have been funded by
Selwyn District Council as part of a plan to provide more information for people travelling to and
from the district. This information will also enable the Christchurch Transport Operations Centre
to improve managing peak commuter traffic flows coming in and out of the city – for example,
through improved traffic signal management.
“We recognise the growth occurring in Selwyn towns and other towns close to the city and we
want to make it easier for people to plan their journeys to avoid busier times and see what is
happening in real time on the roads so they can make informed choices,” says Ryan Cooney,
Manager Christchurch Transport Operations Centre.
To access this free real travel time information service visit the Transport for Christchurch website
www.tfc.govt.nz and select the ‘Current Conditions’ tab then the ‘traffic dashboard’ option. The
website also has a range of other information including planned roadworks and updates on any
traffic incidents which are causing delays.
Help shape Selwyn’s future
environment and win!
We are now surveying our community on what you would like our
district’s environment to be like in the future. By entering the survey
you can go into a draw to win one of 5 $100 prezzy vouchers.
The survey is the start of a larger project to review the council’s
District Plan. The District Plan controls the activities allowed on
different properties, where shops, industrial areas and new housing
is located and is also designed to protect the environment.
In this survey we want to find out what helps create Selwyn’s rural
feel and what types of housing and sections people would like
available in the future. The survey is available at www.selwyn.govt.
nz/haveyoursay. It takes around five minutes to complete and is
open until 4 December.
Fire training exercise postponed
A planned fire training at McHughs Forest Park from 7pm on Wednesday 23 November has been
postponed.
The exercise is planned to take place at a later date, and has been postponed as the Council’s emergency
management staff have been busy assisting in North Canterbury following the recent earthquakes.
Meet your Councillor – Jeff Bland
Jeff is one of four Councillors in the Selwyn Central ward, which covers Rolleston, West Melton and
surrounding areas. He can be contacted via phone on 027 399 9206 or by emailing jeff.bland@selwyn.
govt.nz.
What do you hope to achieve while on the Council?
I hope to see the Council complete the major commitments it has made to the people of Selwyn, for
example implementing the Rolleston Town Centre Masterplan. I would like to see a mechanism in place to
ease the financial burden that small communities face when building
big ticket items such as community centres. I would like the Council
to focus more on arts and our history - Selwyn is ready for this. An
Arts Centre or Museum would reflect Selwyn’s growing maturity.
What do you like about the area you represent?
I love Selwyn Central. During the time I have represented it I have
seen it grow, its demographics change and I have witnessed firsthand
the area developing its own identify. The 150th celebrations
reflected the community coming together to celebrate its past and
present identity.
What do you think some of the challenges are Selwyn is facing?
Keeping up with growth. The present high levels of growth won’t
continue forever and we must spend the money we receive now
wisely so we can leave Selwyn in a sound financial position with
good assets ready to cope with the next 50-60 years.
On the roads this week
Road reconstruction work will be undertaken on Goulds Road and
on Telegraph Road, (between Courtenay and Bealey Roads), with
stop/go controls in place. Repairs are also happening on Deans
Road between Auchenflower Road and SH73, with traffic controls
operating. Resealing is taking place on Milltown Road, with stop/go
controls in place. Footpath repairs will occur on Ellesmere Junction
Road, Springston, and Greenan Place in Doyleston. Maintenance
grading will occur in the Harper and Lindon Road areas, Dunsandel/
Te Pirita, Rolleston and Norwood areas.
Following the official sod turning on 4 November, work is underway
on the Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2. Site clearance and
boundary fencing work continues across the project corridor with
top soil stripping starting. Berketts Road will see earthworks and
pavement construction. Tree clearing at the Rolleston end of the
project will start around the last week of November. Keep an eye out
for NZTA’s project newsletter due our shortly.

Concert to honour iconic rock event
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PERFORMING IN tonight’s
concert to commemorate
legendary Canadian-American
roots rock group The Band will
be a trip down memory lane for
Southbridge singer-songwriter
Paul Ubana Jones.
Jones, along with Arthur’s
Pass musician Adam McGrath
and Lyttelton musician Delaney
Davidson, have been handpicked
by original musical
director and producer of The
Band, John Simon, to perform in
the 40th anniversary concert.
It will honour The Band’s
final concert at San Francisco’s
Winterland Ballroom on
Thanksgiving Day in 1976.
The tour will travel around
New Zealand and perform its
first show at the Isaac Theatre
Royal starring The Band’s
original keyboardist Garth
Hudson and John Simon.
Jones first saw The Band at The
Royal Albert Hall in London
in 1966 backing up Bob Dylan
at his infamous “Judas” show,
where he switched from playing
folk music to rocking out on an
electric guitar.
He then saw The Band,
made up of Rick Danko, Garth
Hudson, Richard Manuel,
Adam McGrath Delaney Davidson Paul Ubana Jones
Robbie Robertson and Levon
Helm in what he described as “in
their full strength” at Wembley
Stadium in 1975.
He said the music The Band
played was extremely diverse,
heartfelt music which influenced
his own career of creating
soulful, contemporary music.
“It was a different era. Let’s be
honest you know if you didn’t
smoke grass or hashish well too
bad because these joints were
being passed around . . . that was
the era it was in,” he said.
Born in London in 1952, Jones
moved to Southbridge about 22
years ago and played his first
Christchurch concert in 1988.
In his time in the country,
Jones has won three New
Zealand music awards and
has continued to perform
internationally.
He said he is touched to
be chosen by John Simon to
perform in The Last Waltz and
will perform an array of songs
including Forever Young by
Bob Dylan, and It Makes No
Difference by Rick Danko.
McGrath said he was most
excited about playing with some
of his local heroes and watching
Garth Hudson play.
“It is kind of one of those great
STAR-STUDDED: Bob Dylan and The Band during
The Last Waltz concert in San Francisco in 1976. A
40th anniversary tribute concert will be held at the
Isaac Theatre Royal tonight.
things that every now and again
pops up and keeps you going. I
am really glad I decided to make
music for a living, McGrath said.
McGrath made his career in
folk music as the lead singer
of The Eastern but also spends
his time travelling around the
country to perform.
Davidson said it was amazing
to be performing in such a
concert with legends such as
Simon and Hudson.
“The range of music is huge . . .
it was almost the end of an era,”
he said.
Davidson has made a career of
touring his music in Europe and
the United States and has
been the winner of the APRA
New Zealand Country Music
Song
of the Year three years in a row.
His latest achievement
was being awarded The Arts
Foundation’s The Laureate
Award last year, receiving
$50,000 for excellence across a
range of art forms.

STARTING SCHOOL on
Wednesday wasn’t just a
milestone in the life of Timur
Vassiliev (right), 5, it was a
milestone for Clearview Primary
as well.
Timur became the school’s
800th currently enrolled pupil,
the first time the school had
reached that mark since opening
in early 2010 with 170 pupils.
Principal Rob Rush said he
expected the school’s growth to
hit a peak of about 830 pupils this
year.
With West Rolleston Primary
School having opened this year
and Lemonwood Grove set to
open next year he expected the
school’s roll would ultimately
stabilise at between 750 and 800
pupils.
“But you just don’t
know,” he said.
“There are just a lot
of people moving to
Rolleston.”
The school had been
built in several stages,
originally catering for just 450
pupils with the addition of
further classrooms since 2012
providing the extra space needed.
Most recently, four more classrooms
were added at the start of
the year.
“We have always had space
for the children and the
continual growth and
that has been a really
good thing, we have been
really well supported by
the Ministry of Education,”
Mr Rush (left) said.
“But it has had its challenges
in terms of making sure
the classrooms were ready and
making sure we had teachers and
staff there.”

Sun, sea and surf on Hainan
Kate Preece heads to Hainan Island to experience a luxury resort
holiday, Chinese-style
FIVE STAR: One of the many luxury resorts in Hainan Island,
MGM Grand Sanya was formerly Hotel Gloria Resort, the first
resort in China.
Getting there:
•Christchurch to Guangzhou flights operate Sunday,
Wednesday and Friday. (From December, Mondays and
Thursdays as well.) Flights to Sanya include transfer at
Guangzhou/Baiyun International Airport. Contact your local
travel agent or visit www.csair.co.nz to book.
•Unless you are in China for transit only (less than 72 hours),
a tourist or business visa is required. It will take three to
five working days to be processed and must be applied
for in person at the Chinese consulate office (106 Hansons
Lane, Upper Riccarton), open Monday to Friday, 9am-noon.
Applications aslo online at christchurch.chineseconsulate.
org under ‘Public Forms’. Single entry is $140.
A THREE-course meal, a few
movies and a glass or two of red
later, a small travel group touched
down in Guangzhou, 12 hours
after leaving Christchurch.
The flight was courtesy of
China Southern Airlines, the
service was enjoyable, and after
a quick transfer at Guangzhou/
Baiyun International Airport, we
were a mere 90min from sun, sea
and surf.
Flying into Hainan Island, the
references to the ‘Hawaii of China’
are believable. Mountainous green
hills give way to deep valleys, with
ribbon-like rivers glistening down
below.
Around the island we circled,
getting closer to the more
inhabited eastern edge, where the
popular city of Sanya unfurled
before us. It is here that the luxury
– and only – resorts in China are
found, and where we were to rest
our heads for four nights – in two
of the area’s prestigious resorts.
The island’s assets seem to be
spaced evenly about a 30min
drive from one another, therefore,
it took such a time before we
arrived at the MGM Grand –
originally the Hotel Gloria
Resort, the very first resort in
China.
Greeted with lei-like flowers
and a glass of the best coconut
milk I have ever tasted, we were
quick to immerse ourselves
into resort life – swimming,
sunbathing and ordering from the
bar in a swimsuit.
After tourism, agriculture
is the second biggest industry
on Hainan Island, with trucks
transporting produce to ships,
which carry on to mainland
China.
Crops include pineapple,
coconuts, bananas, mango, which
flourish in the year-round average
temperature of 25 deg C.
Rice, too, is a common
commodity, which is why paddy
fields are still in plain view when
travelling between Yalong and
Haitang bays. The endemic
mountain rice is a short, fat grain
known as shanlan and gives rice
wine a purplish hue.
It is, however, most favoured by
the Li people, as a trip to Ganza
Li Village – or the Areca Valley
Tourist Resort of Hainan Ganza
Ridge Primitive Culture – is quick
to show.
Akin to our own Maori
cultural experiences, the village
provides insights into a time
gone by. Based on a village built
400 years ago, a theatrical show
with a troupe of performers, fire,
goats and ducks, showcased the
traditions of the Li people.
From the courting ritual, which
involved the woman pinching
the man-of-interest’s ear – the
harder the pinch, the deeper the
love – to the intricate weaving
techniques that led to Huang
Daopo (1245-1330) to popularise
cotton planting in Shanghai, and
improve the textile industry, it
was a high-energy show that
entertained young and old.
You can also try their
traditional bamboo pole dance
– a fast-paced skipping act
reminiscent of Elastics, yet with
bamboo poles threatening to clap
together on your legs should your
rhythm be off.
The joyous dance formed part
of rice harvest celebrations. The
food in Sanya is worthy of a long
lunch.

Island – the ‘Hawaii of China’
Juice comes straight from
gigantic green coconuts, is extracted
from corn (served hot)
or squeezed fresh from a cactus.
Meat is served whole – fish, in
particular, and the dumplings
couldn’t be better.
By the end of our trip, the menu
du jour was sweet and sour pork,
fried rice, pan-fried dumplings,
and moreish vegetables. Spice
fiends will also be satisfied, with
the hot stuff part of the everyday
menu.
To experience something offthe-beaten
track, take a trip to a
fishing village. We arrived at one
not long before sunset, joining
a raft of boats making their way
inland or heading back out, fully
equipped with rows of squid
lights hanging high above the
cabins.
The waterway was lined with
restaurants. Those workers who
don’t own a restaurant will take
their hauls directly to the fish
markets, but the rest are waiting
for restaurant-goers to choose
their menu.
For us, it was swallow fish,
which melted in the mouth after
being boiled in stock on a burner
atop our table.
This form of ‘steamboat’ or
‘hot pot’ is classic Chinese fare,

and the go-to option if you are to
experience any Chinese barbecue
buffet.
With four days in Sanya, we experienced
little more than a taste
for this tropical oasis. A short trip
through one of the shopping areas
brought us head-to-head with the
locals, which was what the Kiwis
craved (especially those after a
bargain or two), yet for those
wishing for a resort-style retreat,
choose from 43 international
brands and there’s no doubt you
will find solace.

Flowering heroes in the sun
Geraniums
flourish in
the heat
and can
make colour
statements
in a range of
garden areas
says Rachel
Vogan
UP UNTIL very recently I have
loved to loath old-fashioned types
of geraniums.
You know the ones – with that
hideous smell, which makes
some people sneeze or gag. The
intensity stemmed from my
childhood, when Nana had them
planted all over her garden on
the dry, barren clay banks of her
garden at the head of Akaroa
Harbour.
Every time a friend would pop
over and admire her garden
they would be sent home with a
pile of cuttings, often including
geraniums. As her apprentice,
she would ask me to hold them,
but the aroma would give me a
sneezing fit and seemed to linger
on my fingers for hours. But I
sucked it up, as I adored my nana.
Last season, however, I did
a massive U-turn. I started
growing geraniums in pots
and in parts of the garden that
struggle to get enough water and
attention – basically in areas the
hose doesn’t reach and in which
the soil is so barren and hard
I can’t get a fork in. And they
flourished, so much so I am now
a convert – as long as I do not
need to go near them or touch
them, we get on just fine.
Geraniums are one of the
most widely grown and highly
regarded flowers in the world.
Little else can match them for
durability and flower power
throughout the year, blooming
for over nine months, and in
some cases in a sheltered spot all
year round.
Plant breeders have gone mad
and bred piles and piles of new
hybrid varieties. Many flower for
longer, have brighter-coloured
blooms, the growth habits are
more compact and they seem to
be more disease resistant as well.
gardening without guesswork
Question:
When is the best time to fertilise my Rhododendron?
Do they need a specific fertiliser?
Rhododendrons are acid
Answer: loving plants, so they
require a specific fertiliser
that caters to this. Intelligro sells a fertiliser that is
designed specifically for these plants, and is also
suitable for your other acid loving plants such as
Camellias and Azaleas. There are 3 main times to
do this, in early spring, then again immediately after
flowering, and again in early autumn. We recommend
that you apply the fertiliser at a rate of 100 grams per
square metre around the dripline of the plant (where
the outer leaves are). When you apply the fertiliser,
be sure to leave a ring around the trunk of the plant
so the fertiliser doesn’t come in contact with it. After
application, make sure you give it a good water.
Unsure how much 100 grams actually is? An adult
handful is approximately 70 grams.

Many also self-clean, so that when the flowers finish, the old blooms just fall
off and new flower stems appear. These geraniums thrive in sunny, dry spots,
and are ideal for those of us who may forget to water their pots.
5 WAYS TO USE GERANIUMS
1. Patio pots, planters and window boxes. They thrive as container plants and,
in most regions, flower from October until winter knocks on the door in June.
2. En masse. Create colourful bedding displays. Allow 50cm between plants.
3. Hanging baskets. The tumbling and ground-hugging varieties make
brilliant basket cases. Make sure the basket has plenty of root room.
4. Walls of colour. Look for the climbing varieties to cover banks and walls in
cloaks of colour. Initially, they may need support to help them cling.
5. Indoor plants. Every now and again, rinse them under the hose or shower
to freshen up the leaves and they will more than likely bloom all year round.
TREAT THEM MEAN
Sounds terrible, but the less you feed geraniums, in terms of fertiliser, the
better they seem to bloom. Therefore not a lot of extra food is required.
GERANIUMS FOR FREE
Geraniums easily root from cuttings or snippets taken from plants. Simply
remove the lower leaves and place into a glass of water or pottle of seed-raising
mix and within four to six weeks roots will appear.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
Pluck the tips out of new plants to encourage more side branching. These tips
can be used as cuttings.
DID YOU KNOW?
Numerous types of geraniums exist, well over 400 species; a few include ivy,
zonal, regal, cranesbill and numerous cultivars and named hybrids.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT ‘Fairy White Blush’ is a pretty wee
gem. It commands your attention with its multi-toned blooms; Look
for tumbling types to plant in baskets and window boxes; ‘Vancouver
Centennial’ has bright carmine red flowers and wonderfully contrasting
green and plum coloured leaves; Pac geraniums are bred to flower for
a longer period, making them reliable container options.
OPPOSITE PAGE Flowering for over nine months of the year, geraniums
pack a punch when planted en masse.
SummEr
is almost here!
LET’S GET
GardEninG
And hopefully it brings with it some warmer
and sunnier days. The downside to this weather
however is that our gardens can pack a punch with
a serious lack of rain, hot days and the potential for
water restrictions. If you haven’t done so already,
now is the time to get the garden sorted for the
summer heat.
Keep on top of the watering
A good soak of water every few days is ideal. A light
sprinkle each day is pretty ineffective and can cause
the plants to only search near the surface for the
water. Deep watering helps to encourage the plants
to search further down for the water, which reduces
the chances of the plant’s roots drying out.
These are also on our website, so have a look on
there, or better still, come and see us and we can
show you what we have!
Planting Veggies!
Growing your own veggies is great. Not only is it
really handy to just pop out the door and grab some
when you need them, you also have the satisfaction
of knowing you have grown them yourself, in
top growing mixes. Our Veggie Garden Mix is an
excellent option, as is our Garden Soil Mix. Have a
chat to our team and they will point you in the right
direction for what growing mix you need for the
types of veggies you are planting.

add the bark!
Adding a decent layer of bark mulch to your garden
will be a huge benefit to your plants. The main
reasons being it will help to reduce the weeds,
conserve moisture in the soil (which is especially
important through our hotter, drier months)
and protect your plant’s roots from the weather
extremes. All of this helps to give your plants the
best chance at healthy growth, as well as improving
the overall look of your garden. Intelligro have a
great selection of barks and mulches, come down
and have a look for yourself, or head to our website

It’s time for high tea
Before coffee’s availability and
popularity, tea was England’s
drink of choice.
In the 18th and 19th centuries,
‘high tea’ was an evening meal for
the working class. It comprised
bread, vegetables, cheese, crackers,
or a pie and occasionally meat.
Tea, which was a relatively
expensive beverage, was drunk
from a mug.
The upper classes had two meals
a day – breakfast and dinner
around eight o’clock at night.
To tide them over, afternoon tea
became fashionable in the 19th
century, served between four and
six o’clock.
When this tradition began
is questionable, with some
suggestions that it may have been
in France, as early as the 1600s.
Afternoon tea was a social event
with a small snack served to tide
one over until the evening meal
which was a protracted affair.
The term ‘high tea’ is thought
to have been coined due to the
different seating arrangements.
The working classes ate their meal
at a higher dining table whereas
afternoon or ‘low’ tea as it was also
called, was shared sitting in low
lounge chairs.
The adoption of the term ‘high

tea’ was a ‘trickle up’ effect, when
the upper classes used it to refer to
a more filling meal that servants
prepared in advance, when they
could not be present to serve a hot
dinner. Added to the traditional
afternoon tea, were cold dishes of
game, fish and fruit.
The correct way to hold a tea
cup was with the thumb and
index fingers where no handle or
by the fingers on both sides of the
handle of the cup. In each case, the
little finger was stretched out to
maintain balance while the tea was
sipped.
Frenchwoman, Madame de la
Sablie was said to have introduced
the practice of adding milk to
tea in the 17th century; a custom
readily adopted by the English.
However, while tea was a popular
drink on the continent, the
English were the main tea traders.
Today people gather for special
occasions to share afternoon tea
treats, now referred to as high tea.
In New Zealand, sweet treats and
sometimes savouries are served as
high tea, generally in the afternoon
though it might be at any time of
the day. A Scottish high tea usually
consists of muffins, scones and
savouries.
In America, there are three types
of high tea: ‘cream tea’ which in
British terms is a Devonshire tea
of tea with scones, jam and cream;
‘light tea’ consisting of tea, scones
and sweets; or ‘full tea’ that has
savouries and dessert as well.
In Britain, a modern high tea
may have three courses starting
with savouries, petite sandwiches
and appetisers followed by scones
with jam and Devonshire or
clotted cream, then sweet pastries,
cakes, biscuits and sweets.
Tea served at high teas today
may be the traditional English
breakfast, Earl Grey or another
brew from tea leaves, herbs or
dried fruits. Of course, it is now
perfectly acceptable to drink coffee
during one’s modern day ‘high tea’.
High tea in
both Britain &
America may
include scones,
jam & cream.
Sweet treats
are now
synonymous
with high teas.
Fruit teas
are also now
served at a
high tea.

Adding colour to the garden
Trees and shrubs provide a wonderful
greenbelt around a property; many also
add colour as they flower, fruit or the
leaves change colour turning yellow,
orange or red in autumn.
A garden with colour has a special
beauty.
While most plants flower, some offer
more brilliance and ‘wow’ factor than
others.
The slow evergreen growing
Rhododendrons and Camellias put on a
stunning show and are also relatively easy
care. Rhododendron varieties can grow
as low as fifty centimetres and up to high
bushy trees of five metres. Their flowers
may be white, pink, red, orange, yellow
or mauve; forming anytime between
September and November. Camellias
generally have pink to red flowers and
range in height from one and a half, to six
metres.
Mixing up deciduous, evergreen and
flowering plants adds interest to a garden
and there is likely to be some display of
colour throughout the year. Supporting
this can be ornamental red or silver
Maples planted in a sunny or partly shady
spot and Photinia that offer a display of
red leaves for most of the year. In dry
spots, Leucadendrons will offer colour
with their yellow or red leaves with the
hardy ‘Safari Sunset’ variety which may
grow as high as ten metres putting on an
impressive show of red.
With spring, deciduous Magnolias
flower before soft fresh green leaves form.
Perhaps more impressive when flowering
than its evergreen relative, the latter has in
its favour lush deep green leaves.
This is the time when your garden is
most colourful. Rhododendrons and
Camellias put on a show, Clematis vines
serve up large white, pink or mauve
flowers and fruit and blossom trees such
as flowering cherries and currants present
a sensational display until the northwest
winds whip through.
Other shrubs that are ideal for a spring
showcase are the deciduous Cornus which
has a variegated form, Lilac, Rosemary
and Forsythia, the latter being covered in
bright yellow flowers before leafing.
Lower growing frost tolerant, easy
care evergreens such the Hawthorne,
Berberis along with fragrant Lavenders
and Daphne will also look good. Taller
hardy and popular shrubs include the
native Hebe, Pieris Japonica with its
drooping clusters of white bell-like
flowers, Viburnums and Bottlebrush,
which serves up bright red flowers on
Christmas to complement the lillies in the
garden. Higher flowering growers that will
also attract native Bellbirds are Kowhai,
Grevilleas and Banksias (noting that not
all varieties of the latter two are frost
tolerant).
Autumn will still have colour if there
are Fuchsias, Pineapple Sage, Dahlias and
Chrysanthemums. All die back in winter
but will put on a show of pinks and reds
through to yellows, complementing the
turning leaves on deciduous trees and
shrubs, with interesting bark and trunk
formations taking their place to form a
different landscape. Underneath, the easy
to grow Hellebores will add a touch of
colour over winter.
Now is a good time to put in the plants
that will bring colour to your garden
throughout the year.

Furniture for the outdoors
Outdoor spaces have become an
important part of the home, with classy
outdoor dining and lounge suites joining
the more traditional garden bench,
hammock and swinging seat.
Furniture for the outdoors comes in all
shapes, sizes and materials with many
attractive options available.
When choosing outdoor furniture,
consider the family’s needs and where
it will be placed. How many people will
regularly share the seating? Will the
furniture be exposed to the elements or be
under cover and what will the furniture’s
main purpose be?
If the furniture will be truly outdoors
then wooden furniture which can be reoiled
or stained may weather better than
upholstered or darker coloured woven
rattan chairs.
Seating capacity is also significant
as is the furniture’s sturdiness if lanky
male teenagers reside in the home.
However, where large groups are regularly
entertained, a supply of stackable chairs or
asking people to bring camp chairs might
suffice.
Loose cushions will need storing
especially over winter and purchasing
a chest that lives on the deck or patio
may take care of this and also hold extra
brightly coloured cushions and throws.
Foot stools and coffee tables are popular
additions to the outdoor setting with
novel variations on the theme available,
such as a coffee table with a small fire pit.
As with braziers, summer fire bans may
preclude the use of these at times. A safer
option for gaining warmth on those cooler
Canterbury nights may be an outdoor gas
heater.
Along with formal dining and lounge
suites, an egg chair or swinging settee
might be placed on the patio or deck,
perhaps outside the main bedroom for a
tête-à-tête moment while a small table and
chairs could be sited to catch the morning
sun for breakfast or a coffee break.
Budget need not be an issue. The price
of new furniture varies as does the size
and quality while second hand furniture
is available, with the Internet a good
place to search. Some is like new while
other pieces need re-staining, painting or
repairs but cost a fraction of the price of
new.
You might also construct your own
outdoor furniture using Manuka, recycled
wood or pallets, or recycle other objects
for tables and seats. These can augment
and add interest to your outdoor spaces.
If your property boasts tall trees, why
not string a hammock between two for
an affordable place to chill, away from
the heat of the day. Around the garden,
a wooden or cast iron/wood two-seater
might also be placed in a sheltered
secluded spot.
Lastly, if cleaning is not a favourite
pastime, consider the furniture’s
composition. A hose down is likely to take
care of dust but when rain water gathers
and sits on the furniture it can lead to
mould and lichen while insects can be
a problem when they make their home
in outdoor furniture with some serious
scrubbing required especially where it is a
woven material.
A wooden seat
might be placed
in a sheltered
secluded spot.
A small table
and chairs could
be sited in a
sunny spot for a
coffee break.
Dining suites
are now a
popular in
outdoor spaces.

Eliminate bird spouting issues
Birds can be an issue around the home;
nesting in all kinds of places including
roof gutters and under the eaves by
accessing the roof cavity through the
spouting.
Once inside the roof, birds create a fire
hazard as they bring material in, to build
their nests while their eggs and hatchlings
attract rats and mice.
In the spouting, birds are a problem as
they use grass and twigs to build a nest.
This clogs up the gutters causing rain
water to overflow and seep under the roof
with the potential for water damage to the
home.
Birds also like to sit on the edge of a
roof and their droppings fall on walls,
windows and paths.
“All these problems are avoided with the
simple installation of Gutter Guard,” says
Rohan, owner of Gum Leaf, South Island
suppliers for Gutter Guard.
“Gutter Guard prevents birds from
nesting in spouting and under the roof.
It also takes away a comfortable roosting
area. As the birds cannot sit naturally
along the roof edge, they tend to leave a
house altogether. With no bird mess or
droppings, a home looks tidier and there
is less work in keeping walls and windows
clean.”
Gutter Guard is an expanded steel mesh
product that has a surface like a cheese
grater. It is produced from the same
material as Coloursteel roofing so will last
as long as the roof itself and as it comes in
the same range of colours, can be matched
to blend beautifully with the roof of a
home making it aesthetically pleasing.
Gutter Guard’s louvered cheese grater
surface ensures that leaf litter and tree
debris slides right over top, keeping it out
of the spouting and taking away the need
to regularly clean out the spouting.
Come winter you will also be pleased
to have Gutter Guard as it strengthens
the spouting to stand up to the weight of
snow.
Gum Leaf supply and install Gutter
Guard. For those into do-it-yourself,
Gutter Guard can be purchased direct
from Gum Leaf with the information
videos at http://gumleaf.co.nz/ making
installation a straightforward process.
Rohan is available six days a week
and goes out of his way to be accessible
to clients. If for some reason you do
not reach him immediately, just leave a
message. He will call you back very soon.
Rohan also endeavours to call on clients
within a day, offering free no obligation
advice and a quote at the time of calling.
His team are usually on the job within
7-10 days, completing installation in one
to two days (depending on the size of
the home). They will also travel to a job
whether in North Canterbury or Oamaru.
It is no wonder that Gum Leaf has many
happy customers who have found Gutter
Guard a worthwhile addition to their
home.

Big changes for local established business
The team at Intelligro are settled into
their bright new spacious retail outlet,
where there is a great range of gardening
and landscaping supplies available.
Intelligro can now be accessed from the
Main South Road or its new entrance off
Weedons Ross Road which is an easier
and safer way to turn into their premises.
Located further back from their original
site, Intelligro which is now closer to the
railway line, has been gearing up for the
Southern Motorway extension, which
will ultimately lead to the firm’s entrance
being just from Weedons Ross Road.
Intelligro is recognised in the Selwyn
area for supplying both home gardeners
and commercial landscapers. They carry
top quality growing mixes such as their
superior vegetable garden mix, screened
soil, and a wide variety of barks and
mulches to help retain moisture in the
garden over summer. There is also a great
selection of stones, chips and pebbles that
will enhance any landscaping project.
Their selection of fertilisers and other
bagged products includes nutritious
organic compost that Intelligro makes
from locally sourced materials. This
compost will not only improve crop yield
but also assist with plant health.
Specialist products available include:
Bio Filter, swale and drainage mixes,
builders’ mix and crusher dust such as
their AP40 which packs down hard for
paths and driveways, structural soil
mix and specialty growing mixes. Their
laboratory technician will organise the
production of a mix to meet an architect’s
or engineer’s specifications.
The best part is that Intelligro is open
seven days a week so if you wake up on
a Saturday and feel like overhauling the
garden, landscaping and garden supplies
are just down the road. They supply by the
trailer load as a bulk scoop or in bag lots
and there are trailers for hire if needed.
Join up to Intelligro’s VIP club to receive
their regular garden newsletters. This
includes lots of information on gardening
and landscaping along with details on
products available. You will also receive
notification of their monthly specials. Sign
up when you next visit Intelligro or join
on-line via their website, intelligro.co.nz
where you can also purchase direct.
With Christmas approaching, a novel
gift idea is an Intelligro gift voucher. These
SELWYN TIMES
can be purchased in-store; available in any
dollar amount and valid for two years.
Intelligro is open seven days a week
(with extended weekend hours during

4pm. During the week the hours are also
8am until 5pm.

Looking for a property – what really counts?
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining properties for
sale and zeroing in on those with potential. They
might be in locations that offer cheaper land,
larger houses, or convenience to work or school.
You may have visited show homes and open
homes becoming confused, overwhelmed or
swept away with emotional factors like having
everything new, or extra features such as three
car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the features
that you need, considering:
• Family space – Is there room for the
children to play indoors and for television and
entertainment units? Should this be open plan or
separated?
• Kitchen – What needs to be in your kitchen?
How serious are you about a butler’s pantry? Is
it a whim or something that offers a practical
solution to the way you use your kitchen?
• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum sizes?
Smaller bedrooms may translate to slightly
lower building costs while extra space can be
useful. When looking at existing homes, consider
whether the size of each bedroom is sufficient.
• Garaging – A standard double garage once
two cars are parked there offers little space for the
toys. What toys do you have and could they live
with the lawnmower in a garden shed, a cheaper
option to three car garaging? If the budget allows
and a larger garage with workshop is important,
make it a selection priority.
• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer
space for children, pets, hobbies, an expansive
Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
garden and perhaps a home-run business but
they require work so are not for everyone and a
compact section might be more sensible if a tight
budget or busy lifestyle.
• Bathrooms – Second and third bathrooms are
great in homes with teenagers and a wet shower
room is ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not used and its
absence could mean a more spacious bathroom.
• Laundry – Would a laundry in the garage do
the job?
• Storage – How much storage do you need?
Weigh up what can truly be stored in the garage
once vehicles are in, a preference in winter.
Garages vary in size so check the size to ensure
your vehicles will fit. Look also at where else
the house offers storage capacity such as in hall
cupboards, a large hot water cylinder cupboard,
wardrobes (check their width and depth),
walk-in robe, attic storage trusses, as well as the
potential for hooks and shelving in the garage for
bikes, tools, garden equipment and even kayaks.
• Off-street parking – How many vehicles can
be parked on the driveway? Will this space be
sufficient?
• Garden - Is there sufficient space for your
children to play or for entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine what
will suit your needs, the point of the exercise,
saving you time looking at properties or potential
house designs while assisting you to decide
whether to buy a new or existing home with both
options having advantages and disadvantages.

Holden Colorado a versatile load carrier
COLORADO: Major upgrade for Holden’s tough ute.
• By Ross Kiddie
WHEN MY daughter left home
and went flatting she bought a
new bed and mattress from a
store in Blenheim Rd.
Her flat was only one block
distant in Riccarton so we transported
the mattress on the roof of
her trusty Toyota Celica – transport
problem solved.
But it was a different story when
she opted to return home a few
months later, our home is several
kilomoteres from the flat and we
had the mattress to transport.
I thought I was being clever
when I arranged to evaluate a
Holden Colorado crewcab ute
during the time the shift was in
progress, I anticipated the mattress
sitting neatly in the tray.
Well, when the ute arrived it had
a big aluminium sports bar across
the deck and that prevented the
mattress sitting neatly. But with a
bit of Kiwi ingenuity and several
ropes the mattress was secured
and transported back to the
Kiddie dwelling, but it was with
much anxiety.
Nevertheless, what the exercise
did serve to prove is how adaptable
the modern ute has become,
it’s a genuine five-seater and has
deck space which lends itself to
multiple uses.
The Colorado has just had a
major upgrade from Holden, so
much so that it could be considered
a new model. Yes, the engine
and driveline is pretty much a
carryover, but the interior has had
a major refresh, and the exterior
gets a few cosmetic enhancements.
As before, the Colorado lands
in a multitude of two and fourwheel-drive
variations – 24 in
total – consisting of crewcab, single-cab/chassis
and spacecab. The
evaluation vehicle was a mid-spec
LTZ with cab proper and it lists at
$62,990, the range starting from
$39,990.
Under the bonnet sits a 2.8-
litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged
diesel engine. Most Colorados
will sell with automatic transmission,
as in the test car’s case,
but a six-speed manual is still
an option. As before, the engine
has mammoth power outputs
– 147kW and 500Nm (440Nm
manual), the latter available at
just 2000rpm with solid turboboost
to the red line.
In terms of driveability, the
Colorado is civilised and refreshing
to be behind the wheel of,
it drives easily with clean shifts.
Unladen it feels quite spirited, it
will easily claim an 11sec time to
make 100km/h from a standstill
and will lunge through an overtaking
manoeuvre of 5.8sec.
Not that acceleration is important
to the Colorado’s role, but it
isn’t a slouch and is comfortable
at highway speed.
The same can be said of its
handling manners, utes are never
the best in a corner thanks to
the load-bearing suspension
engineering, but the Colorado
behaves itself reasonably well if
a quick corner sneaks up, it is
• Price – Holden Colorado,
$62,990
• Dimensions – Length,
5361mm; width, 1872mm;
height, 1800mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheeldrive,
2776cc, 147kW,
500Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11sec
• Fuel usage – 8.7l/100km
receptive to steering input and
directional change.
Up front the suspension is by
way of double wishbones, while
a leaf spring located live rear axle
props up the rear. The spring
and damper rates are set far from
firm, all the new age utes are
compliant in the suspension and
the ride in the Colorado is even,
controlled and well cushioned
from ruts and bumps.
With 215mm ground clearance
the Colorado is a bit of a master
off sealed surfaces. The media
launch for the new model incorporated
a long drive through
North Canterbury’s Lees Valley
and an off-road excursion to a
plateau high in the hills.
The off-road section was challenging
in terms of grip, rain
had turned much of the track
to mud. It was a good test of the
Colorado’s ability to put power to
ground as grip in the soft, slushy
stuff never appeared compromised.
Holden has done well with
exterior and new interior design,
it looks dynamic from the
moment of first glance, and the
in-cabin environment is tasteful
and functional. It also gets all the
trick gear that Holden is building
into its entire range these
days. Items of note include the
MyLink infotainment platform
which incorporates Android
Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity,
and all the safety kit to
earn it an Australasian New Car
Assessment Program five-star
safety rating.
Holden still rates the Colorado
with a 3.5-tonne tow and 1-tonne
payload figures, the deck area
measures 1484mm x 1534mm
which is about the industry
standard for a double-cab wellside.
That being the case, it is a serious
load carrier and it does so
with finesse. The changes Holden
has made to the range bring it
closer to car-like rather than utelike.
That combination of ability
and occupant-friendly in-cabin
aesthetics is remarkable.
And for those awkward loads
like I experienced, it is a case of
being downright versatile.

suites) and five toilets. There is plenty of space for everyone to
spread out with three living areas, including a formal dining room
downstairs as well as a balcony and sitting area on the upper
level to enjoy the mountain views. The spacious kitchen has been
updated to today’s expected standard with stunning white joinery
and a stone bench top whilst a log fire and three air conditioners
provide year round comfort. Generous garaging is available with
an internal access triple and separate triple garage in addition to
the 3-bay barn for the lifestyle equipment or recreational toys.
On two hectares, the property currently has approximately one
hectare planted in Lucerne which returns a small income with
the balance in four easy care paddocks, which were re-grassed
this year. The property receives a daily entitlement of two units
of township water with a storage capability in two 25,000 litre
water tanks. Located just a few minutes drive from the Darfield
township, on the school bus route and within a comfortable daily
