Drink driving mums
caught in Xmas blitz
Selwyn
motorists
ignore
warnings
• By Tom Doudney
A WOMAN who was nearly
five times over the drink driving
limit was caught by police just
moments after she had picked
her children up from school.
The 38-year-old from Rolleston
recorded a breath alcohol reading
of 1157 mcg/L when she was
stopped on Tennyson St with
her two children, aged three and
nine, in the car on Friday about
3.15pm.
The legal limit is 250 mcg/L
This comes in spite of police
having warned they would be
doing more breath testing as part
of their annual Christmas-New
Year drink driving campaign.
Constable Blair Croucher said
when the woman was told police
BEWARE: The police are out in force in Selwyn over the Christmas period.
would be driving her children
back to the police station, where
their father would later pick
them up, she objected because
she thought her children would
be transported without car seats
and that would put them at
risk.
“I said to her ‘look, you were
concerned that I was going to
transport your children a short
distance in my patrol car without
child seats in there but you
don’t seem too concerned about
driving almost five times over
the limit with your children,
plus driving past a school and a
pre-school while children were
exiting the school’ and she pretty
much just had a total disregard,”
Constable Croucher said.
“It’s extremely lucky, given her
high reading, that there were no
injuries.”
An hour and a half later,
another Rolleston woman, 35,
recorded a reading of 696 mcg/L
when stopped in the Faringdon
subdivision with her four-yearold
child in the car. The woman
was pulled over after failing to
stop at a stop sign.
Both women have had their
licences suspended for 28 days
and will appear in court, charged
with excess breath alcohol.
Several other drink drivers
were apprehended by police over
the weekend, including a Springston
woman, 54, who crashed
her car off the Lake Rd bridge
at Coes Ford on the way home
from a work function on Friday
at about 10.30pm. She recorded a
reading of 800mcg/L.
A man who crashed his car on
Blakes Rd, near Prebbleton, on
Friday night could not be breath
tested as he was taken to hospital
following the crash. However
police suspected alcohol was
involved and were awaiting the
results of a blood test.

THAT’S A jaw-dropping drink
drinking level recorded by a driver
in Rolleston on Friday (see our
article on page 1).
And even more staggering is that
the driver was a mum who had
just picked up her kids from school
when she was stopped in a pre-
Christmas drink driving blitz.
She was one of two mums with
children caught by police in what
appears to have been a fairly reckless
attitude to drink driving over
the weekend.
Getting the woman who was
more than four times the drink
driving limit off the road was a top
job by the police.
And speaking of vehicles, a bit of
disagreement at last week’s Selwyn
District Council meeting over the
plan to provide Sam Broughton
with a mayoral car (see page 3).

Council will buy
new car for mayor to use
• By Tom Doudney
A CAR will be bought for mayor
Sam Broughton but not without
opposition from some district
councillors.
District councillors Mark
Alexander, Debra Hasson and
Nicole Reid voted against the
proposal to buy Mr Broughton a
diesel 4WD vehicle costing up to
$38,000.
Deputy mayor Malcolm
Lyall and district councillors
John Morten, Jeff Bland, Bob
Mugford, Murray Lemon and
Craig Watson voted for it while
Pat McEvedy and Grant Miller
abstained.
Cr Alexander said the mayor’s
preferred diesel 4WD option was
not cost-effective compared to
the option of a small hatchback
which had also been a possibility.
He said the previous three
mayors had used their own vehicles
in spite of having to cover
the same terrain.
“With all due respect, Mr
mayor, I do not support it –
provide your own vehicle,” Cr
Alexander said.
Cr Hasson was also concerned
that the vehicle’s carbon emissions
would be high compared to
Sam
Mark
Broughton Alexander
other options.
However, Cr Bland said he
believed the position of mayor
warranted the privilege of having
a car provided.
Cr Morten said previous
mayors had not lived in an alpine
environment like Mr Broughton
and a 4WD would be useful considering
the conditions he could
sometimes be driving in.
Mr Broughton said a smaller
car would not suit the terrain he
had to travel but if there was a
suitable carbon efficient option
he would be happy to look at
that.
“A tiny car won’t get me the
places I need to be able to access
to meet with ratepayers, which
includes places on farms and
gravel tracks,” he said.
“It’s not all asphalted driveways
Do you live in Rolleston or the Selwyn area?
Do you wear or need hearing aids? Did you
know that you can choose Brenna Sincock as
your audiologist?
It doesn’t matter who fitted your existing
hearing aids, or how new/old/ancient they
are, Brenna’s expertise means that she can
service and adjust all makes and models.
Your hearing changes over time and the
settings and tuning of your device need to
change with it. If you have already invested
in hearing aids, getting the most out of
them makes so much sense.
“What people may not realise
is that it is their choice
as to who cares for their
hearing,” says Brenna “I
love what I do, I am good
at what I do and I want
my customers to have
the best hearing
possible. It doesn’t
matter if they start
and so a tiny car just does not
handle that stuff very well.”
Mr Broughton will take a pay
cut as part of the arrangement,
with $3508 coming off his annual
$116,331 salary.
While the district council will
save an estimated $12,740 a year
from Mr Broughton’s salary
deduction and the reimbursement
claims he would have put
in if using his private car, it will
also incur an estimated $15,502
on tax and running costs such
as servicing, insurance, licensing
and fuel for the new vehicle.
Although Mr Broughton did
have this own vehicle, he felt
that constantly having to fill out
reimbursement forms would be
a distraction from his primary
responsibilities.
“I think it would just make
my role simpler and easier not to
have to do the paperwork every
time I want to drive somewhere,
so it’s to allow my focus to be on
the bigger things.”

What sets Brenna Sincock Hearing apart is
that customers will always see Brenna, every
visit. “They can take comfort in my years of
experience” says Brenna. “I’m the boss, it
(the service) all starts and stops with me.”
“There are a significant amount of people
in the area with hearing loss. Many hearing
aid clinics are part of large internationally
owned networks and therefore patients may
not see the same person/audiologist each
time they visit. It’s a little bit frustrating
when you have formed a relationship with
someone and they know your patient history,
your lifestyle and then you have to explain
it again. Continuity of care is so important!”
“Customers come first and I am always willing
to go the extra mile. I am here to help
locals hear better for years to come.”
In Brief
FIRE RISK
Property owners throughout
Selwyn are being encouraged to
cut or graze long grass to avoid
it becoming a fire hazard over
summer, with fire restrictions
expected to be introduced this
month. The district’s principal
rural fire officer Douglas Marshall
said rain during October
and November had meant
there was lots of growth and
conditions were now expected
to dry out. “Unless we receive
a substantial amount of rain in
the near future, its likely fire
restrictions will be introduced
this month,” Mr Marshall said.

Courtenay pool to remain closed
• By Tom Doudney
AT LEAST one of Selwyn’s six
community pools will not be
able to open this summer and
the other five will have to ensure
they can meet new requirements
before getting the go ahead.
The district council has
decided the community pool at
Courtenay will not be able to
open unless issues around active
supervision and ageing plant and
equipment are resolved.
It has agreed to work with
communities in Halkett, Leeston,
Prebbleton, Killinchy and Sheffield
to enable those pools to
open.
However, local pool committees
and users will need to agree
on plans which include regular
water quality testing, ensuring
that unauthorised users can’t
access pools, secure chemical
storage, signage and having first
aid resources on site.
Plans will also require active
supervision in place when swimmers
use these pools. This could
include trained lifeguards, community
supervisors who have
received appropriate training
or parents, who have received
information about their responsibilities,
supervising their own
children.
The district council had undertaken
an assessment of its swimming
pools to ensure their operations
comply with the Health and
Safety in Work Act, which came
into force in April 2016.
There were no significant issues
with its larger pools, the Selwyn
Aquatic Centre in Rolleston and
the Darfield and Southbridge
pools complexes at Darfield and
Southbridge pools. However, the
assessment determined changes
needed to be made at the smaller
pools.
Mayor Sam Broughton said the
district council realised the pools
were important to their communities
and wanted people to be
able to use them over summer.
“However, as the owner of
these facilities the council also
has a duty of care to people using
the pools. Nobody wants a child
to be injured or drown at a local
pool.”
At Halkett, Killinchy and
Leeston, district council staff will
work with pool committees to
ensure that the required level of
supervision is available, which is
NOT
IMPRESSED:

council’s
estimate for the
cost of repairing

likely to be provided by community
members and users.
At Sheffield and Prebbleton,
both busy facilities, the district
council will supply trained
lifeguards. Prebbleton was
previously a diving pool with a
maximum depth of 2.2m so the
district council believes it has a
higher level of risk. Sheffield will
only be able to open from 1-7pm,
daily.
The district council estimated
that repairs and maintenance
needed at Courtenay pool would
cost somewhere between $60,000
and $80,000. It had indicated
that these costs, coupled with the
small number of users, reopening
the pool in the longer term would
not be viable.
Courtenay Reserve Committee
chairwoman Carol Garland was
disappointed that the pool would
not be able to open this summer.
She said the estimated repair
costs were ridiculous and the
committee believed it could complete
all necessary maintenance
for about $5000.
“That is just so far off the mark,
if they really think they are going
to have to spend that amount of
money somebody is seriously
ripping off the council,” Mrs
Garland said.
Sheffield Pool Committee
chairwoman Rochelle Barrett
said the result was a good compromise
for them.
“It’s better than not opening,”
she said.
“It would have been great if it
could carry on the way it was but
unfortunately that can’t happen.”
Opening dates for the other
five community pools will be
advised as soon as the new
operational arrangements have
been confirmed with local pool
committees.

Motorway business concern
• By Tom Doudney
STAGE TWO of the Southern
Motorway could become a
magnet for businesses interested
in setting up in rural land along
its corridor.
During a recent District Plan
review briefing, district councillors
were advised by staff that
they could come under pressure
to allow the establishment of
commercial premises by the
motorway.
The $195 million project,
which will connect Rolleston
with the city, is currently under
construction and expected to
be completed in 2019. It will see
about 20,000 vehicle movements
per day on average.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
the amount of traffic going past
and the desire of adjacent
landowners to sell or develop
their land could create incentives
for businesses to set up
there.
Canterbury University transport
expert Professor Simon
Kingham said it was inevitable
that businesses would seek to
establish near the off and on
ramps. He expected supermarkets,
petrol stations and larger
chain stores to be interested in
locating there.
“You will start getting kind of

businesses to set up alongside it. Mayor Sam Broughton, top right, and Canterbury University
transport expert Professor Simon Kingham say decisions will have to be made on how to zone
this land.
mini malls developing there and
it’s all to do with land zoning
so the Selwyn District Council
will have to make decisions on
how they want to zone the land
there,” Professor Kingham said.
“It has implications for people
who have moved out there because
they want the country feel
and it also has implications for
farming because sometimes the
land is good farming land.”
Professor Kingham said
Christchurch’s Blenheim Rd
provided an example of how
small zoning changes could
have a dramatic impact on the
landscape.
“When I first came here 17
years ago there was no retail development
on it and a very slight
change in the planning regulations
has resulted in masses of
retail development down that
road,” he said.
“We need to fundamentally
think ‘what do we want Greater
Christchurch, including Selwyn,
to look like in 10 or 20 years?’”
The region was at risk of
becoming more car dominated
than it was.
“That may not be very sustainable
or resilient into the future,”
Professor Kingham said.
Mr Broughton said he didn’t
think it would be desirable to
see a lot of development take
place along the motorway.
“I like having the green space
between our towns and don’t
want to see just shop after shop
between things,” he said.
“But then also you need space
for businesses to set up where
it is accessible, so finding that
balance is something we will be
discussing.’’
In Brief
ENVIROTOWN EXPANDING
The envirotown movement
which started in Selwyn may
expand into the North Island.
Envirotown groups work
to promote environmental
sustainability within their
communities. Envirotowns
founder and Lincoln resident Sue
Jarvis said she recently accepted
an invitation to visit Katikati,
near Tauranga, as a guest
speaker and helper to organise
a community meeting about
starting a group there. Out of the
eight current envirotown groups,
the only one outside Selwyn is
Oxford.
GALLERY REPAIRS
Darfield’s Selwyn Gallery will be
closed from January 29 to March
13 while earthquake repairs are
completed. Orion, which owns
the building on South Tce, had
requested that the gallery be
cleared before work begins.
VOLUNTEERS RECOGNISED
The Malvern Community Board
has thanked local volunteers for
their work throughout the year
by shouting them morning tea
at the Darfield Service Centre on
Friday. District councillor Bob
Mugford said about 10 volunteers
were present and it was a good
morning.

Battle to get funding for community centres
• By Tom Doudney
SELWYN communities are
struggling to raise the funds
necessary to build new facilities
needed to cater for growth and
replace outdated buildings.
Committee members behind
the $8.3 million new community
centre planned for West Melton
and the $650,000 community
pavilion planned for Weedons
Reserve have made a public plea
to the district council for more
financial help.
In an unusual move, district
councillor Jeff Bland joined West
Melton Community Centre
Committee chairman Bruce
Russell and Weedons Reserve
Committee chairman Peter Holmes
in making a public forum
presentation to his fellow district
councillors at their meeting on
Wednesday.
Cr Bland said the district
council needed to look at a better
funding model for such facilities.
“Community facilities are
important, they are a vital community
asset, we shouldn’t just
be looking at them as nice to
have,” Cr Bland said.
“A facility such as a community
centre, a community
deserves to have it – should have
it, must have it.”
Currently the district council
PLANNED: An artist’s impression of the new West Melton
Community Centre.
contributes 10 per cent to the
cost of new community centres
and targeted rates, rather than
district-wide rates, are put
towards the project. Such facilities
rely heavily on fundraising
campaigns and grants from
organisations such as the Rata
Foundation and Lotto New
Zealand.
However, Cr Bland said such
funding was more difficult to
come by and it was difficult raising
enough money from within
a small community. In Weedons’
case, the area only had between
300 and 400 ratepayers.
Mr Russell said the $8.3 million
new community centre
would serve a larger area than
just West Melton and the district
council had a responsibility to
ensure funding for community
facilities.
Jeff Bland
Bruce Russell
IN THE WORKS: The new Dunsandel Community Centre is
under construction.
“The funding that you have
had up until now might have
been fine 20 years ago but today
it’s a totally unrealistic amount,
10 per cent.”
Dunsandel Community Committee
member Nigel Barnett,
also appeared in the public
forum to request $65,000, which
was granted, for a door at the
new Dunsandel Community
Centre, currently under construction.
Mr Barnett said the door,
which would separate the building’s
main hall from adjacent
meeting rooms, had been removed
from plans to keep costs
down but the committee had
since realised this was a “tragic
mistake” and they needed the
funding by mid-January.
“Removing that door takes
away the whole flexibility of operation
which is key to making
this building work,” he said.
The building was also reduced
from one which could cater for
300 people to one which could
cater for 200 people, again to reduce
costs for the project which
now has a price tag of just under
$3.2 million.
Dunsandel Community
Committee chairman Russell
Dalzell said if the district council
approved a higher contribution
towards other new community
centres that it should also do
something to take pressure of
Dunsandel ratepayers. Targeted
rates had been increased by $130
a year to help cover the costs of
the new facility.
District council chief executive
David Ward said a working
group of four councillors had
been established to look at the issue
of how community facilities
were funded and a report was
expected to be completed by
February.
•An open day for the public
to view progress on the
Dunsandel Community
Centre build will be held this
Sunday, 1-3pm. The public
will be able to walk through
the building.

just turned 10 recently. I’m the
only founding trustee still left on
the trust. I got involved in the
early 2000s alongside some other
like-minded people who realised
that the remaining native habitat
we had left on the Canterbury
Plains was pretty vulnerable but
also valuable. There is only 0.5
per cent of the original native
vegetation left on the Canterbury
Plains. We thought something
needed to be done and that
councils and DOC were probably
not going to get to it, so
we decided to get out there and
get on with it. We initially did
a report highlighting all those
things and saying that there was
a need for restoration rather than
just protecting remnants. We felt
there was a need to create new
places of native biodiversity.
Does the trust have any
specific goals in terms of how
much area it would like to see
forested on the Canterbury
Plains?
It’s a massive task. Our main
vision is to create a network of
biodiversity across the plains and
we have focused on the Selwyn
district. We have got such a
battle ahead of us that we would
probably scare ourselves if we
had to think in hectares. But we
have planted something like between
50,000 and 70,000 plants
so far in 10 years. Selwyn District
Council is a big supporter
and have done a really awesome
job at getting biodiversity back
on council owned reserves like
Coes Ford, Chamberlains Ford,
Glentunnel Domain, Hororata
Domain, even Greendale Golf
Course.
You’ve been around the
district for 40 years now. What
sort of changes have you seen in
the environment over that time
PASSIONATE: Te Ara Kakariki Greenway Trust chairman
Craig Pauling helped establish the organisation 10 years
ago.
and how do you feel about
that?
I remember years ago doing a
workshop with Selwyn District
Council staff and councillors
and the former mayor Kelvin
Coe, who was just a councillor
at the time, and I remember
people saying ‘what would be
your number one indicator of
a healthy Selwyn?’ I said ‘to be
able to swim safely at Coes Ford
whenever I wanted to’ and to me
that still would be a goal. I think
we should be able to swim at
Coes Ford any time that we want
and we can’t. I haven’t really seen
positive change in the Waikirikiri
(Selwyn River).
Yeah, the state of the
Selwyn River does seem to be
something a lot of people feel
strongly about.
The lake, Te Waihora, is
another issue. I don’t have the
knowledge of it myself because I
don’t have the memories of being
a kid and going down to the lake.
I remember the river more so
from my time going down and
camping at Chamberlains Ford
as a kid. But what I have heard
from my aunties and uncles from
the marae and a lot of people is
that the lake was clear around
the edges in the 1970s because
of the massive macrophyte weed
beds which held down sediment.
To me that’s quite amazing – you
could go to the lake and see the
eels and the flounder swimming.
Now that’s a dream and the
1970s weren’t that long ago.

the rivers and lakes
That does sound amazing.
To be able to see through the
water in the lake would be an
amazing feat for us to achieve
now. And just to tell you why I
think it can happen, my cousins
are from Little River and
Wairewa/Lake Forsyth, and
every year we go out on that lake
and harvest the flappers – the
young moulting ducks. We have
been doing that for the last 10
years, sort of revitalising that
cultural tradition. Most of the
time in that last 10 years the lake
has been pretty bad – it’s warm,
it gets algal blooms, it can turn
bright green like Te Waihora
does. But about three years ago,
and I have got photos to prove it,
that whole lake was completely
clear. I could see down into the
water 2m, it was cool to touch, it
was beautiful. The main reason
why it was clear was that the
macrophyte bed grew back in the
middle of the lake. It was about
three or four rugby fields big and
it had an effect on the upper end
of the lake. It was full of bird life
and fish life. I know right now
that that lake is struggling again,
its got a massive algal bloom and
it’s looking like the summer is
going to be really tough out there
for the fish and wildlife and even
the stock that can die if they
drink it. So I have seen things

good and bad – but generally the
picture is pretty bad.
How hopeful do you feel
about our ability to turn these
sorts of things around in the
future?
From the Te Ara Kakariki point
of view I think we have done a
good job restoring plants and the
birds will follow so I feel pretty
positive on that, although we have
a long way to go. We have a wee
way to go on our waterways. We
are all trying to do something
about it but whether we are making
the hard decisions is probably
the biggest question for me.
You ran for ECan in the recent
elections, was that the first
time you had run as a political
candidate?
Yes, it was. I was actually quite
happy with the 28,500 votes I
got – but I would have needed
40,000 to get the fourth [regional
councillor] place. But with the
resources I had at my disposal, I
only spent about $500 and it was
just family and my wife doing
the campaign and we mainly
did it on Facebook, I was pretty
encouraged with the result. But I
am keen to have another go.
What are your hobbies?
Probably the biggest one is
waka ama, which is outrigger
canoeing. I have been doing
that for the last 15 years to quite

Lake Forsyth. Mr Pauling attributes the clear water he also

a high level. I have been to the
world championships and to the
national championships numerous
times. 2016 was a pretty
big time for our team here in
Christchurch, we won a gold and
two silvers at the world championships
in Australia and won the
national title at the start of the
year as well. I am pretty heavily
involved in that sport and
training kids. I have about 30 to
40 kids, mainly Maori, that I am
involved in training up. That’s a
big part of my life and I just love
it. I get to be out on the water, I
train on Lyttelton Harbour and
the Avon River regularly – I am
on those rivers and waterways
every second day pretty much.
Have you and your wife
(Janyne) got any kids?
We’ve got three kids. Mihiroa,
who is 12, Meihana, who is 10
and Tainui, who is 9.
And you work at Boffa
Miskell, what’s your job there?
Kaiarataki Te Hihiri – the
translation is strategic adviser
Maori. Boffa Miskell is an environmental
planning and design
consultancy. Our Te Hihiri team
is our cultural team and we work
with our designers, planners and
ecologists to engage with iwi and
hapu, as well as do specific work
directly with iwi and hapu.
How long have you been at
Boffa Miskell?
I’ve been here for just over
three years. Prior to that, I
worked for CERA for a couple
of years and prior to that with
Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu and I
also did a stint with Landcare
Research based at Lincoln.
So you’d be advising members
of your team on how to make
sure their work is sensitive to
Maori values?
Also, probably more so how to
engage properly. Because most of
the time iwi and hapu have their
own knowledge and their own
people and I don’t pretend to
know all that but what I do know
is how to work with them, and
that is most important.

Hororata Tartan
cushions
now on sale
THE HORORATA Community
Trust has teamed up with local
seamstress Janine Kirkby to
produce cushions made from
Hororata Tartan.
The Hororata Tartan is a
special fabric which was gifted to
the area in 2012 by the Scottish
Tartans’ Authority and is one of
the few registered tartans in New
Zealand.
Ms Kirkby said she was excited
to be making the cushions.
“I love the story behind the
Hororata Tartan and it is a beautiful
fabric which is full of life and
colour; just like our community
really,” she said.
“We have aimed to produce
these cushions to the highest
quality. The tartan is 100 per cent
wool and the fabric comes from
Scotland.”
The trust is the custodian of the
tartan and all profits contribute to
it and its work in the community.
The tartan has been designed
with six colours, each symbolising
what it means to be from the
Hororata region.
People can purchase the
Hororata Tartan products online
at www.hororata.org.nz/hororatatartan
or from Mason’s Drapery
or Hororata Garage.
Notification of evacuation zones
ABOUT 500 Selwyn households
close to the ocean or Te
Waihora/Lake Ellesmere have
received a letter with advice on
what to do if there is a tsunami
threat.
These properties are located
within an ‘orange zone’ which
may need to be evacuated in the
event of a tsunami warning.
Selwyn civil defence controller
Douglas Marshall said the
boundaries for the orange zone
had been identified based on scientific
advice from Environment
Canterbury on the maximum
credible event that could impact
Selwyn.
None of
Selwyn’s main
townships are
considered to be
at risk from tsunamis
with the
Douglas
closest, Leeston
and Southbridge,
both outside the
Marshall
orange zone. Smaller settlements
inside the orange zone include
Rakaia Huts, Taumutu, Upper
Selwyn Huts, Lower Selwyn
Huts and Greenpark Huts.
“If a tsunami warning was
issued, people inside the orange
zone may need to evacuate this
area,” Mr Marshall said.
“We have written to these
property owners to advise them
to sign up for our emergency
text and email alert system
Selwyn Gets Ready and to provide
advice on what to do in a
tsunami threat.”
Three types of tsunamis could
affect Selwyn.
Distant tsunamis are generated
from a significant distance,
such as from across the Pacific
in Chile. There will be more
than three hours warning time
for New Zealand for these tsunamis,
and more likely longer.
Regional tsunamis are
generated between one and
three hours travel time away
from their destination. An
eruption from an underwater
volcano in the Kermadec Trench
to the north of New Zealand
could generate a regional
tsunami.
Local tsunamis are generated
very close to New Zealand. With
this type of tsunami there is no
time to issue an official warning
and people will need to respond
immediately.
Three evacuation centre locations
have been identified at
Lincoln Event Centre, Leeston
Library and Southbridge Hall
where people can go after evacuating.
If there is time to do so, volunteer
community response teams
will door-knock in affected
townships and district council
and emergency services will also
warn residents using emergency
vehicle sirens.
“In a close to shore tsunami
there will not be time to issue a
warning,” Mr Marshall said.
“If you feel a long or strong
earthquake or see a sudden rise
or fall in sea level or hear loud or
unusual noises from the sea then
people should move inland or
go to higher ground as soon as
possible.”
The orange zone extends
between 1km and 7km from the
coast depending on local factors.
Mr Marshall said it was likely to
be reviewed and reduced next
year as the initial zoning had
been very cautious.

Your Local Views
Looking back at a year
SELWYN TIMES
Delicate river
marked by change
AS THIS is my last column
for the year I would like to
take this opportunity to wish
everyone in Selwyn a very
merry Christmas and a safe and
enjoyable New Year.
I hope that you have the
opportunity to take a break
and spend time doing what you
love, whether that is relaxing
with family and friends at the
beach, reading a good book or
getting out for a tramp in the
bush.
It has been a busy and
positive year. I have enjoyed
meeting many of you at events
around Selwyn during the year
and have also hosted coffee
meetings at various locations
to give you the opportunity to
discuss with me any matters
that you have wanted to bring
to my attention.
It has also been a year of
change. Here in Selwyn we said
farewell to our mayor Kelvin
Coe and welcomed our new
mayor Sam Broughton. On
the national stage, we saw our
prime minister step aside from
his role as leader of our country
and, on the international
Amy Adams
Selwyn MP
stage, we saw surprise results
in the United States election
and in the United Kingdom
referendum on whether to
remain in or leave the European
Union.
Change is an inevitable
part of life. Here in Selwyn,
we reflected on how much
Rolleston has changed as we
celebrated the town’s 150 th
anniversary. Our region’s
evolving role as an important
industrial and logistics hub was
strengthened by the opening
of Lyttelton Port Company’s
Midland Port, which joined the
Port of Tauranga’s inland port
at Rolleston.
Meanwhile, in my
neighbourhood of West Melton,
I was pleased to open the new
West Melton Village shopping
centre, which offers the
opportunity for new businesses
to establish themselves in this
growing area.
Next year is set to be another
exciting one in Selwyn,
with Rolleston College and
Lemonwood Grove School
opening their doors to students.
We will also be able to see the
next stage of the Southern
Motorway beginning to take
shape as work continues on this
important project.
If you have any concerns or
issues that you think I may be
able to assist with, or would
just like to make your views
known to me, please get in
touch with my electorate office
in Templeton. The office will be
closed for the Christmas-New
Year period from December
23 and will re-open again on
January 16.
Environment
Canterbury
chief scientist
Tim Davie
writes about
why tuna (eels)
have become
stranded in the
Selwyn River and why flows
are so low
The Selwyn/Waikirikiri River is
a classic Canterbury Plains river
with headwaters fed from rainfall
in the foothills, mid-reaches that
frequently dry up and springfed
lower reaches which flow
constantly.
Ngāi Tahu ancestors eloquently
described the river as waikirikiri,
meaning ‘river of gravel or stones,’
confirming that the mid-reaches
have always dried up as surface
water becomes groundwater.
In mid-November, there was
substantial rainfall in the Selwyn
headwaters. This caused a small
flood wave to move across the
plains, but it did not reach the
bottom.
The flood wave travelled from
Whitecliffs to Greendale, but did
not reach Coes Ford.
Tuna in the upper reaches
used the flood wave to move
downstream. They did not reach
the coast and became stranded
in the mid-reaches. As the flows
in the headwaters subsided, the
flowing part started to retreat,
stranding more fish.
In the lower reaches, flows are
very low due to extremely low
groundwater levels. Every month
since July this year has seen record
low flows.
Groundwater gains water
(recharge) from two sources:
Water infiltrating from rivers as
they cross the plains, and rainfall
infiltrating past the soil.
Most rainfall recharge happens
in winter when soils are wet,
evapotranspiration is low
and rainfall moves rapidly to
groundwater.
The two most recent winters
have been extremely dry, meaning
very little rainfall recharge.
Groundwater loses water
(discharges) through springs as
part of groundwater fed streams,
and through extraction for
irrigation and drinking water.

Cycle advocate awarded
• By Tom Doudney
SAD SIGHT: Photos of the eels trapped in the Selwyn/Waikirikiri
River, and others which were relocated, were shared to the Rolleston
Community Page on Facebook.
When the inputs (rainfall and
streamflow recharge) are lower than
the outputs (spring-fed streams and
human extraction), groundwater
levels drop – and vice-versa. This
causes regular rising and falling of
groundwater levels.
Because rainfall recharge is the
largest input into the groundwater
system, a series of dry winters causes
very low groundwater levels.
Groundwater extraction causes
some of the low levels, but it is relatively
insignificant.
The last time we saw groundwater
levels as low as they are now was in
the summer of 2005/06. The lowest
ever flow at Coes Ford was in March
2006 (20 litres per second). The flow
there in early December this year
was 115 litres per second, equalling
the lowest recorded in December
2005.
The situation in 2005/06 was
broken by snow in June 2006, which
provided a large groundwater recharge
boost.
There are full irrigation restrictions
on all takes from the Selwyn
River. Many groundwater takes are
on partial restriction and all deep
groundwater takes have restrictions
on their annual volumes. This has
been the situation since November
2015.
When you see irrigators working,
they will be using water sourced
from winter storage, deep groundwater
or large alpine rivers which
currently have good flows.
BROADFIELD resident
Don Babe has
received a Local
Hero award
for his cycling
advocacy over
more than a
decade.
Mr Babe (above) is chairperson
of the Christchurch-Little
River Rail Trail Trust and
Spokes Canterbury as well as
treasurer of the Cycling Action
Network.
The Kiwibank Local Hero
awards pay tribute to those
making a positive contribution
to their region, town,
suburb or community. Nearly
350 medals will be presented
nationwide over the next few
weeks and Mr Babe is one of
37 Canterbury recipients.
Through his role with
Spokes, Mr Babe’s mission has
been to promote the bicycle as
a mode of everyday transportation.
Spokes has a vision that
by 2020, Christchurch will be
considered one of the top five
cycle cities in the world.
The citation for his award
said he had given countless
hours in his efforts in
Canterbury and further afield,
and was one of the most
well-known and influential
advocates for cyclists in the
South Island.
Mr Babe said he was very
flattered and humbled.
“All those sort of things
really come down to good
teams and. if you have got a
good team, it’s real easy,” he
said.
“Only one person stands
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
up but the rest of them are all
there as well.”
He was motivated by his
concerns about the state of
New Zealanders’ health and
the planet and his belief that
cycling made good economic
sense.
One overall national Local
Hero award winner will be
chosen from the regional
recipients in February.

split second is the perfect game for all the family. With simple
questions that young and old alike will know the answer to, the trick is

the correct answer onto your paddle and flip it to the centre of the
game before any of your opponents.

NEW YORK-BOUND: Lincoln’s Jaime Spencer (above) and
Souhbridge’s Jayde Vivian are seeking sponsorship to get to New
York Fashion Week.
Models seek help for New York trip
TWO SELWYN models who
have been selected for New
York Fashion Week are still a
long way off their fundraising
goal.
Jayde Vivian, 16, of Leeston,
and Jaime Spencer, 20, of
Lincoln, are two of three New
Zealand models hand-picked
through the Ozlink Fashion
Programme to walk in several
NYFW shows in February.
Jaime has so far raised $475
and Jayde has raised $565

No job too big or small
through their Givealittle
pages.
“It’s quite slow so I’m hoping
it will pick up soon,” Jaime
said.
They envisage they’ll need
about $5000 each to pay for
flights, accommodation and
other expenses.
The pair need sponsorship
for the trip because they’re
both students.
Jayde’s sister Jaz Vivian has
set up a page on behalf of her
younger sister.
“As you can imagine, the
cost of this is going to be
quite high and with Jayde
being a student we are looking
for sponsorship in a few forms
to help fund this trip,” she
said.
The pair will spend 10 days
in New York taking part
in the major international
Amit Singh Chahaun show,
two boutique shows and two
realway shows.
They’ll also get a city
and studio photo shoot
with a professional fashion
photographer.
The girls will be in New
York from February 9 to
February 22.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: The Smithies family will open a ‘time
tunnel’ at their Waterholes Rd property.
Take in the time tunnel
A FAMILY of 13 will open a
250m time tunnel near
Rolleston to the community for
seven days in what they say is a
bid to create unique Christmas
memories.
The illuminated bush tunnel
featuring life-sized biblical and
historical figures and other
surprises will be open seven days,
starting from Friday.
The project was a family effort
for the Smithies, Roger and
Gwenda and their 11 children,
with almost everyone involved
in setting it up – from stringing
lights to creating characters and
dreaming up surprises.
Mrs Smithies said they did not
want to give too much away about
what sort of figures people would
encounter in the tunnel but
promotional material for it invites
people to “experience the wonder
of the first Christmas.”
Entry will be by gold coin
donation, with the funds
going towards expenses and
projects in India which aim to
set families free from poverty
by helping them establish small
businesses.
The time tunnel, will be open
daily, 9pm-10pm, from Friday
until December 23, at 293
Waterholes Rd.
DRAWING ON TALENT: West Melton
School year 5 pupil Yoris drew this
stormtrooper mask for a recent
exhibition held at the school. The
exhibition of work by year 5 and 6
pupils was open to the whole school
community. During the term, the
pupils have learned about how art
can connect a community and visited
sculptures on display in Christchurch
as part of the Scape public art festival.

Summer events
coming to Selwyn
Reduce fire risk on your property
Rain over springtime has meant there is lots of growth around our
district. Conditions are expected to dry out in summer, increasing
the fire risk. If you have long grass on your property, now is a good
time to either mow it or graze it. If you want to mow the grass, we
recommend choosing a cooler day to mow and having a way to
extinguish a fire available as sparks can ignite from machinery.
Leaving long grass untrimmed means that if a fire did start on
your property it could spread quickly. To reduce the risk of a fire
endangering your property, we recommend that you if you live
in a rural area you keep a clear space of 30-50 metres around
your home, or more if you can. Inside this space, keeping grass
short or using surfaces like paving, gravel or non-flammable plant
species is recommended. You should also avoid putting anything
flammable inside this space, like stacked wood or rubbish.
To find out more about reducing the fire risk on your property,
visit www.selwyn.govt.nz
Over 50 summer events are coming to our district as part of the Council’s Summer in Selwyn
event programme, running from January to March.
This year the ever popular Teddy Bear’s picnic will be returning to Rolleston Reserve on Wednesday
18 January from 11am-1pm. Teddy bears should look their best as there will be a competition
for the best dressed bear. Family picnics are planned at Tai Tapu, Springfield, Springston, West
Melton, Leeston, Lincoln Burnham and Prebbleton from January to March. Four Music on the Green
sessions will take place at Leeston, Lincoln, Darfield and Rolleston. These sessions are a great
chance to enjoy summer’s balmy evenings while being entertained by great local musicians.
Family movie evenings are also planned during February and March. Kids can take part in
summer skate jams at Darfield, Rolleston, Leeston, Tai Tapu, Lincoln, West Melton, Glentunnel
and Prebbleton, and pool parties at Darfield and Southbridge, while the Selwyn Aquatic Centre

Part of the intersection of Byron and Kidman Street will be closed from Monday 12 December and
reopen on Tuesday 20 December to allow the water race underneath the intersection to be widened so
it has more capacity. Traffic travelling along Byron and Kidman Street won’t be able to travel through
this intersection and will need to detour on an alternative route (Rolleston Drive or Wordsworth and
Tennyson Streets). However traffic travelling through the intersection from Tennyson Street can still pass
through the intersection.
Unsealed road repairs are planned for Whitecliffs, Malvern Hills and Bleakhouse Roads, with traffic
controls operating. Road reconstruction work continues on Deans Road, with traffic controls operating.
Road marking will occur in the Darfield/ Sheffield area, with traffic controls operating. Footpath repairs are
planned on Ellesmere Junction Road in Springston and on Homebush Road in Glentunnel.
The intersection of Manse Road and High Street will be closed until 16 December to allow roading and
stormwater upgrade work to occur, and motorists will need to detour via Selwyn and Cunningham Streets.
Meet Your Councillor - Pat McEvedy
Pat is one of two Councillors in the Ellesmere ward, which
covers Leeston, Southbridge, Dunsandel, Doyleston and
surrounding areas. He can be contacted on 027 430 3818 or by
emailing pat.mcevedy@selwyn.govt.nz.
What is your background?
I come from Southbridge and my background is in farming and
business. With my wife and children we have developed an intensive
arable farming business. Over time I have been involved in community
committees and school governance. I have also had a large
involvement in seeking better environmental outcomes for Selwyn and
enjoy being hands on, whether it is with the Waihora Ellesmere Trust or
Te Ara Kākāriki planting days or supporting Enviro schools.
What do you like about the area you represent?
I enjoy the people in our district you meet constantly who are doing
great things for their community and don’t realize how valuable they
are and the impact they have. Helping these people access money,
resources or just information is very rewarding.
What do you think some of the challenges
are Selwyn is facing?
The biggest challenge is Selwyn District Council
sticking to the business of getting things done.
We need to keep focused, there are a large
number of projects – both infrastructure and
community – to progress. Being easy to contact
and able to respond quickly to help people
get on with their lives and businesses is also a
challenge to meet, and providing efficient and
economic services and facilities for all of our
communities into the future is important.

Community Pools this summer
The Council will work with local communities to improve supervision and safety for people using
community swimming pools this summer.
The Council recently assessed its swimming facilities to ensure their operations comply with the Health
and Safety in Work Act, which came into force in April.
Selwyn Aquatic Centre and the Darfield and Southbridge summer pools, which are supervised by
lifeguards, will operate as normal this summer – for opening hours at Darfield and Southbridge visit
www.selwyn.govt.nz.
There are also Council-owned community swimming pools at Halkett, Leeston, Prebbleton, Courtenay,
Killinchy and Sheffield. Supervision arrangements at these pools are variable, and in some cases there
aren’t systems in place to prevent unsupervised children from accessing the facilities.
“Community swimming pools are very important to local communities and where possible we want
people to be able to use their pool over summer,” says Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton. “However as the
owner of these facilities the Council also has a duty of care to people using the pools. Nobody wants a
child to be injured or drown at a local pool.”
“This isn’t just a Selwyn issue - organisations all over New Zealand are all dealing with the impact of
this legislation. We are considering what actions are needed to ensure that pools are safe for people to
use,” says the Mayor.
The Council will work with communities in Halkett, Leeston, Prebbleton, Killinchy and Sheffield to
enable pools to open for summer. The Council will seek commitment from local pool committees
and users to agree to plans which include regular water quality testing, ensuring that unauthorised
users can’t access pools, secure chemical storage, signage and having first aid resources on site.
Active supervision, involving lifeguards, community members or pool users, will also be required when
swimmers use the pools.
The community pool at Courtenay will not be able
to open unless issues around active supervision and
the replacement of ageing plant and equipment are
resolved. Last summer around a dozen families used
the facility. The Council recommended that the pool
committee works with the neighbouring Halkett pool
committee so that these families can use this nearby
pool. Longer term, the Council will look at whether it is
viable to repair this pool, given this will be expensive
and there is currently low usage.
Opening dates for community pools will be advised
Southbridge Pool
once operating arrangements have been confirmed.
A Christmas Message from the Mayor
Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to gather together with family and friends we love. Its a time when
life often slows a little and we are able to take stock of the year that has been and look forward to the
things to come.
For some of us this Christmas we welcome new members into our family through birth or marriage.
For others of us Christmas will be tinged with sadness as we remember those who have been lost to
us this year.
Whatever your plans make sure you remember to cherish those who are gathered
with you, to smile and say hello to strangers, to take opportunities to heal past
hurts, and to sing a few carols and remember the reason for Christmas.
Liz and I will be enjoying Christmas in Tauranga this year with her family. I trust
whatever your plans are that you travel safely, that you find peace in the mayhem
and you have a wonderful feed.
Merry Christmas
Sam and Liz Broughton

Halswell
take lead
in cricket
HALSWELL WILL take a 45-run
lead into day two of their match
against Southern Districts on
Saturday.
Day one of the match, which
was played at Halswell Domain on
Saturday, saw Southern put in to bat
first after Halswell won the toss.
Halswell started well with the
ball and had Southern 32/3 after
17 overs before some good middle
order partnerships saw Southern get
to 135/6.
However, bowler Geoff Barclay
came back on to take late wickets,
reducing Southern to 166/9 from
their 50 overs. Barclay finished with
figures of 5-39.
Halswell were 30/2 after six overs
before James Pearson joined opener
Matt McClintock in the middle.
These two batted well in a partnership
worth 75 before Pearson was
stumped for 39 off 30 balls and
McClintock went out soon after for
a patient 47.
Leighton Johnston lifted the
tempo with a nice 46 runs from 31
balls.
However, a collapse saw Halswell
go from 170/4 to 214 all out from
just 36 overs, leaving Southern 10
minutes to bat until stumps. Johnston
took a wicket on the last ball of
the day to have Southern 3/1.

FOR ALANA Dalzell, entering
into the Ellesmere Women’s
Open junior singles tournament
was all about getting some
bowls experience.
The first-year bowler from
Coalgate joined the Dunsandel
Club where her father and
brother play.
Arriving at Akaroa on Saturday,
she had not previously
played a singles match but a loss
in her first game was to be the
only one of the day.
Being up against players that
have had four or five years’ experience
never phased Dalzell as
SPORTS
INTO THE SURF: Springston School’s Ben Airey, in the
green cap below, won the 10-year-old boys’ grade of the
Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Schools Triathlon held
recently at Pegasus. West Melton School’s Stacey Morgan
(right) came second in the nine-year-old girls’ grade and
Rolleston School’s Zoe McMeeken (far right) came second in
the 11-year-old girls’ grade. PHOTOS: KATHRYN MEYERS
New bowler makes strong start for Dunsandel
she constantly kept drawing to
the jack and making good shot
decisions.
With only three qualifiers out
of the eight entrants, Sharheen
Eaqub, who beat Dalzell 12-8 in
round one, drew with Dalzell
in the semi-final. But Dalzell
played excellent draw bowls and
Eaqub conceded an end short
6-15.
Effie Hallewell from the host
club, Akaroa, had drawn the bye
and waiting is never easy, but at
four-all after five of 13 ends, the
game was a great spectacle.
Dalzell picked up a three
on the sixth end to build
confidence and won six of the
remaining ends to win her
first Ellesmere trophy, beating
Hallewell 15-9.
She won five games in a row
on her way to winning the
trophy and is a very talented
bowler in the making.
In the men’s junior singles,
played at the Tai Tapu Club, the
men also had only three qualifiers
from the field of eight.
Nick Alfeld from Lincoln
drew the bye into the final,
leaving Akaroa’s Don Walker to
play Lincoln’s Colin Stevenson.
Walker was too strong for Stevenson.
In the final, Alfeld’s dedication
to practice and coaching
SELWYN TIMES
showed his all-round strengths
in the game and Walker conceded
8-17 after 13 of the 15
ends, making Alfeld this year’s
junior champion.
Ellesmere Cup’s final round
saw the Lincoln 5 team,
skipped by Lyndsey Withell,
beat Lincoln 3 to win the ladies
mid-week competition after
dropping only one game out of
the nine rounds.
Withell was lucky to have a
consistent team throughout the
competition, only having to substitute
twice. The team included
Margie Watson, Bev Gregg,

Prebbleton/Lincoln and Springston met in the third round of the Ellesmere senior interclub
division 1 championships on Saturday. Springston prevailed 11-5 on their home court.
Springston now has one win from three rounds and remains in second position in the
five-team competition, courtesy of tight losses in their opening games against Killinchy
White and Tai Tapu Gold, who lead the competition. Prebbleton/Lincoln are win-less
after an opening round bye and second-round loss to Rolleston and sit at the foot of the
competition. The interclub competition has its final round on Saturday.

Both players went for 30 runs from three overs, with Benton
picking up one wicket. Benton featured again in Canterbury’s
loss against the Auckland Aces at Hagley Oval on Sunday.
He was the best of the Canterbury bowlers taking one wicket

HEADING INTO the second
event at its new home in
Kirwee, the South Island
Agricultural Field Days is
growing.
Organisers say next year’s
event, from March 29-31, will
be bigger than ever.
South Island Agricultural
Field Days spokesman Daniel
Schat said 90 per cent of the
exhibitors’ spaces had been
allocated.
The SIAFD executive
committee bought the site on
Courtenay Rd, Kirwee, after
it outgrew its leased site near
Lincoln University, where it
was based for more than 30
years.
“When we moved to Kirwee
we purchased 40ha, which allowed
us to accommodate up
to 450 exhibitors. Now we have
purchased an additional 40 ha
of land adjacent to our site,” Mr
Schat said.
“While we will not occupy
the entire 80ha at the 2017 Field
Days, we will have more exhibitors
and a bigger demonstration
space than last time.”
SIAFD switches between
Canterbury and Southland
each year. During the off year
Kirwee farmer Tony Redman
leases the SIAFD site and
in recent months Cressland
Contracting Ltd has been doing
site development work on the
newly-acquired portion of the
site.

Grazing service
introduced
Milk company
SELWYN TIMES
wins Best Growth
A new grazing service
for farmers, which
facilitates grazing on
behalf of stock- owners
and graziers, has been
set up by PGGWrightson
(PGW).
Established two months
ago, PGGWrightson
Livestock Grazing
aims to meet the needs
of Canterbury dairy
farmers requiring
grazing for their young
stock, matching them
with farmers that have
pastures available.
Former stock agent James Penny has
been appointed as grazing manager for
the Canterbury region. Coming from a
farming background, and with a “passion
for animals”, James says PGW’s new
business unit was developed in response
to the changing face of farming in the
region, which has seen large numbers of
conversions from sheep and beef to dairy
over many years.
“The grazing facilities provided by our
graziers enables young stock from other
farms to be grown out to industry target
live weights,” James says, adding that
winter grazing can also be provided. Land
put forward by graziers is first checked to
ensure it is designated for grazing, has a
water supply and can be irrigated.
The grazing service includes a
management plan and animal health plan
being established, as well as a feed budget
for both stock-owner and grazier.
An important factor of the service is the
monthly monitoring of the stock, James
says.
“The animals are weighed every month
using our transportable autodrafter.”
Strategy award
Synlait Milk has won the Best Growth
Strategy category at the 2016 Deloitte Top
200 Awards.
The annual awards celebrate proven
excellence in New Zealand business
management and governance.
“We’re very proud to receive this award,”
managing director and CEO John Penno
said.
“It recognises the effort we’ve put in since
our IPO in 2013 to make more from milk,
and the success we’ve had as a result of this
approach.”
Synlait was one of three finalists in the
category, and the judges said Synlait won
because of a growth strategy based on
selling selected products to leading brands
around the world.
Synlait reported a record profit in the
2016 financial year (FY16) of $34.4 million,
a $23.8 million increase on the prior year.
Mr Penno said Synlait’s point of
difference was the way they partnered with
their customers and milk suppliers.
“Partnering with leading global infant
formula companies and market disruptors
is a key part of our value-added focus.
Our FY16 profit stems from significant
growth in our ingredients and canned
infant formula volumes for our customers
around the world.
“Our ability to collect and process
differentiated milk streams from our 200
Canterbury milk suppliers consistently,
and at scale, with some of the most
sophisticated production capability in
the world creates real value for both our
customers and milk suppliers. That’s what’s
driving our revenue and profit growth.”
Synlait recently launched their
next growth phase, which will see
approximately $300 million invested over
three years. In October they raised $97.6
million of new equity and on November 25
they commenced trading as a dual listed
company on the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX).

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Student researching
bio-waste potential
Native vegetation and bio-waste could
be key players in New Zealand’s economic
future as the transformation of degraded
lands into value-producing, biodiverse
ecosystems becomes a necessity and a
reality.
Inspired by New Zealand Trade and
Enterprise’s focus on native products as a
key sector, Lincoln University Soil Science
PhD student Salome Seyedalikhani is
carrying out a study to determine the effects
of bio-wastes on the quantity and quality of
essential oils produced from mānuka and
kānuka plants.
Associate Professor Brett Robinson says
Salome’s research is linked with a number
of other studies and field trials being carried
out.
“Salome’s work is part of a larger
progamme that seeks to divert biowastes
from landfills or waterways onto land where
the nutrients that they contain can provide
economic value.
“Lincoln University is working with the
Centre for Integrated Biowaste Research
Salome Seyedalikhani
(CIBR) on field trials around New Zealand
to elucidate the benefits of New Zealand
native vegetation on soil that has been
improved using biowastes.”
Bio-wastes are organic materials of
biological origin, such as bio-solids, dairy
shed effluent and sawdust. While these
materials may contain contaminants such
as heavy metals and pathogens, they are
also rich in plant nutrients, and a cheap and
plentiful resource for rebuilding degraded
or low-fertility soils where food is not
produced.
One such place is former forestry soils,
where rebuilding the soils with bio-waste
may be a more viable economic alternative
than replanting in pines. Bio-wastes would
increase the soil’s nutrient and water
holding capacity, and provide essential
elements to accelerate plant growth. Biowastes
would also change the quality of
essential oils produced by these plants. The
nature of these changes is the subject of
Salome’s research.
In a series of greenhouse experiments,
mānuka and kānuka were grown in low
fertility soils, and soils amended with either
biosolids, biosolids and sawdust, or dairy
shed effluent. The addition of biosolids
increased the growth of both species by
up to sixty percent. In turn, mānuka and
kānuka have an effect on the soil, producing
antiseptic chemicals and affecting soil
microbes involved in nutrient cycling.
The most important components of
the essential oils were unaffected by the
addition of bio-wastes. Ultimately there is
potential for some bio-wastes to be diverted
from landfills to degraded land, where they
can boost the production of essential oils
made with mānuka and kānuka.
Fields trials are now being carried out
to explore the ecological variables and
production economies. While the bio-waste
concepts can be applied internationally,
mānuka and kānuka production can’t be
replicated elsewhere, giving New Zealand
a unique industry opportunity and a
competitive edge.
After winning the Lincoln Postgraduate
Conference Prize for top presenter in her
faculty, Salome is presenting her findings at
an international soils conference this week
in Queenstown.

Gardening
Put on a spectacular
summer show with portulaca
• By Henri Ham
IF YOU want to make a bit
of a statement in your garden
this summer, you can’t go past
portulaca.
This striking plant grows to
around 10cm high and produces
beautiful flowers with
layers of fabric-like petals. It’s
perfect for planting in borders,
bedding, edging, rock gardens,
pots and hanging baskets. And,
if you get some in the ground
soon, it will keep the show
in your garden running all
through summer.
For those wanting to show off
colour in their garden, you can
purchase mixed bundles but
a couple of the favourites are
tequila cherry, which is bright
pink, and tequila yellow.
Because portulaca tolerates
heat and drought so well,
it pays to plant it in full sun.
It grows very nicely next to
livingstone daisies or gazania as
they are all fans of the sun and
they all grow to similar heights.
Plant each seedling around
25cm apart from the next.
Portulaca looks lovely when
TOLERANT: Portulaca likes heat and drought so plant it in full sun.
grown in a basket with petunia
– particularly varieties like red
crystal and primetime violet
star. And the great thing about
using hanging baskets or planters
like the paradise planter
is you can move the show of
colour around wherever and
whenever you want.
Once everything is planted
you can expect to see flowers in
around four to five weeks. You
won’t need to water portulaca
very often, but just keep an eye
on the soil. If you stick your
finger in the soil to about your
first knuckle and it’s dry, it pays
to give them a bit of a drink.
Lastly, if you want the show
to continue all summer, pick
off the dead-heads. This will
encourage your plants to keep
flowering – and it will make
your plant look better.

for the kids
With school holidays creeping closer and
closer, you will be desperately thinking of
some activities to keep the kids occupied and
entertained. Here are a few ideas to get them
out in the fresh air.
Sow Sunflower seeds
Sunflowers add a bright burst of colour and also
draw much-needed bees to the garden. They are
super easy to grow, and give the kids something to
keep an eye on as they begin to grow. Here are some
tips for planting.
1) Pick a part of your garden that has plenty of sun.
For taller varieties, make sure that you plant them
near a fence or trellis so they are protected from the
wind, and so you can tie them back if they start to
topple.
2) Sunflowers like to grow when the weather’s warm
so now is a great time to get in to it.
3) Push the seeds into the soft soil. Make sure
they’re down at least one centimetre, then water
well (using a watering can) afterwards
4) As the plants grow, keep them well watered, and
give them some fertiliser every couple of weeks.
Plant a hanging basket
These looks great, and
take up very little space.
Head down to your local
garden centre and grab
a hanging basket and let
the kids help you pick the
flowers you want to add
in. use South-Hort Patio Plus as your growing mix,
as this contains all the vital nutrients your plants will
need to keep flowering, and help them get through
the summer heat.
Paint pots
Grab some plain terracotta pots, and some paint and
let the kids get creative. Once they are done, choose
some flowers or some herbs and get planting. Once
again, use South-Hort Patio Plus. This mix is designed
specifically for growing in pots, containers and
baskets.

SELWYN TIMES
• By Ross Kiddie
BY MY own admission I’m a bit
of a snob, I glamourise where
I live, and I tell people I own a
Lexus.
Well the latter is true up to a
point, I own a Toyota Altezza
which was sold here new as a
Lexus IS200/300.
Badge engineering is commonplace
throughout the automotive
manufacturing world, and Lexus
has had several models sourced
from the wider Toyota stable.
One to come my way recently
was the Lexus LX450d, a large,
luxury four-wheel-drive SUV
based on the Land Cruiser platform.
And realistically, it is a
Land Cruiser 200 in disguise, it
gets all the trick four-wheel-drive
gear along with all the grandeur
that embodies the Lexus spirit of
luxury, refinement and sophistication.
The LX has always been powered
by a 5.7-litre V8 petrol
engine, but just recently it has
been joined by a 4.5-litre V8 diesel
which, incidentally, is the first
Lexus diesel offering.
The LX570 lists at $179,900,
and I guess if you have that
amount of money to spend on a
vehicle, filling regularly with petrol
probably isn’t a disadvantage,
but at $159,900 the diesel variant
probably makes just that little bit
Plush Lexus at home in the rough
• Price – Lexus LX450d,

• Dimensions – Length,

• Configuration – V8,
four-wheel-drive, 4661cc,

• Performance –

then that even though it is a huge Lexus rate the 4461cc, quadcamshaft,

and bulky vehicle, it doesn’t feel
big to drive; the same can be said with an amazing 650Nm of

command for when road (or That aside, the 450d feels
track) surfaces vary, they are all sprightly, it will cut out a standstill
to 100km/h time of 8.6sec,
and will lunge through a highway
overtake in 5sec; both these figures
I would suggest are quick for
vehicle type.
Drive is transferred through
a six-speed automatic gearbox,
interestingly, the petrol V8 gets a
flash eight-speeder, but that matters
little, the diesel unit flows
smoothly through the transmission
and it has quick, fluid shifts
which work well with the power
characteristics.
A stiff southerly was blowing
through Canterbury during my
day of rural testing, and as big as
the LX450d is, it wasn’t bothered
by the wind gusts, there’s a lot of
sheet metal down the side of the
vehicle (almost 5.1m) but it feels
firmly planted on the road and
has remarkable stability.
There is little sensation in a
corner, there is body roll, but
that’s no surprise, it’s how I would
expect it to be. The LX450d gets a
fabulous ride through a complex
air suspension system, bearing in
mind that it has to disguise a live
rear axle. Up front the suspension
is more traditional through a
double wishbone system, but the
engineers have created a plush
ride, and that is something we
have come to expect with Lexus.
The mechanicals are engineered
for life cross-country. I
didn’t take the vehicle off-road
for fear of damage, although I did
take it on a long shingle loop near
Hororata, crossing the Hororata
River through legitimate fords.
The river was barely a trickle,
but it was a good opportunity to
test the varying four-wheel-drive
options.
As a series, the LX has just
had a major makeover, it’s a lot
more than cosmetic facelift, the
only carryover panels are the
doors. The interior, too, has had
a major refresh, and all of the
trim elements are true Lexus with
enough cockpit dials and switches
to keep a Boeing pilot happy.
The LX series is a quality piece
of kit all round. It is expensive,
but you certainly get a lot of
vehicle for the money. It is most
certainly the machine to get you
to the skifield in style.

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 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), walkin
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.

Outdoor rooms
Just because an outdoor space doesn’t have
walls, that doesn’t change the basic principles
applied to any design project inside your home.
With a few simple
fundamentals to guide you,
you’ll soon see how easy
it is to create a beautiful
outdoor room you’ll love entertaining
and relaxing in throughout the warm
days and balmy nights of summer.
Key considerations include style,
function, lighting and mood. Remember
that your outdoor room ought to be
an extension of the look you’ve created
within your home, which reflects your
personality and lifestyle.
Focal point
Beginning, as with any room of the
home, a space must always have a focal
point to anchor the space. For some, this
may be a bar or barbeque area, a large
dining table, or a chill-out zone with
couches or loungers.
Outdoor fireplaces are becoming more
and more popular as our living areas blend
seamlessly between indoor and outdoor
entertaining throughout the changing
of the seasons. They can serve not only a
practical purpose of somewhere to gather
around to warm as the day turns to dusk
and the nights get shorter, an outdoor
fire can make a stunning feature or room
divider for any outdoor living area. Water
features, like a pond with beautiful koi
fish, can also serve as a great outdoor focal
point, creating tranquil environment in
which to relax and unwind in, or create
a meditative Japanese rock garden which
your outdoor area can overlook.
In the zone
If you already have a large terrace or
outdoor area, a blank canvas is a great
place to start. If you have a particularly
large outdoor area, dividing the space
into zones makes for a more functional
and aesthetically pleasing space. You can
do this by using a number of different
elements, such as contrasting flooring
materials or by creating different levels
of decking. However, if you’re after a
seamless indoor/outdoor flow or wish to
create the illusion of more space, use the
same flooring materials indoors and out.
Divisions can also be made with the
clever positioning of furniture. Use
modular seating to create walls and
separate spaces. Plants are a cost effective
and eco-friendly way to create divisions
between zones, and are also an ideal way
to camouflage ugly walls, create privacy
and soften sharp angles. Living walls, an
ever-increasingly popular vertical plant
system, can be either freestanding to
create different outdoor areas and can
be on wheels to easily transform your
outdoor space at a moment’s notice.
Play with height and scale with various
types of planters, whether you use hanging
planters to draw the eye upwards, or
oversized planter pots to add drama.
Go with the flow
Creating a great indoor/outdoor flow is
easily created by opening up your kitchen
with bifold doors or windows to create a
servery or bar area for easy entertaining.
If you are building your home from the
ground up, you may want to design an
outdoor room which lies at the epicentre of
the building, with rooms opening onto the
communal courtyard with bifold doors.
Function over form
Consider what you intend to use your
outdoor space for. If you don’t plan on
eating outside, there’s no need for a dining
table, but buy some comfortable outdoor
seating instead. If you only intend on
sitting outdoors during the evening,
then don’t waste money on awnings and
umbrellas, and invest the money in an
outdoor fireplace which you will actually
use.
Atmosphere
Create unique and personalised outdoor
decor with textiles and homewares from
your travels or your favourite antique
shop, or make your own shell garlands or
wreaths from beach holidays. String up
fairy lights or lanterns to create a festive
mood in the evenings.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
New show home
opens at Levi Park
An exciting new show home opens this Saturday in Rolleston’s
Levi Park. Built by Pringle Homes, this 212.5 square metre home is
ideal for young couples, families or those downsizing.
This is a house that stands out,
illustrating that the right mix of
quality fittings and clever use of
colours can lead to a contemporary
stylish look at an affordable price.
Its higher 2.55 metre ceiling, modern
clean lines, efficient layout and sunny
spacious living are just some of the
features that are apparent as one first
walks into the home.
In the kitchen there are Tri Stone
benches with an island, quality
appliances and walk-in pantry making
it perfect for those who like to cook.
Practicality has not been overlooked
either, with vinyl plank flooring
stretching through the living zone to a
softer area in the lounge where double
doors allow privacy or the potential
for a larger living space.
Another feature is the indoor
outdoor flow to a large sheltered
hardwood deck, accessible through
wide sliders from the dining/living
room, or from the lounge and with
the main bedroom leading out to
an adjoining patio there is plenty
of sheltered space for alfresco
entertaining.
There is clear separation between
bedrooms and living plus an element
of separation within the bedroom
wing where the main and second
bedrooms sit apart from bedrooms
three and four, which are close to the
main bathroom and separate toilet. All
are double bedrooms with good sized
wardrobes while the main bedroom
has a walk-in robe and ensuite.
A feeling of luxury exudes with
bathroom features including a stylish
free standing bath, generous vanities,
tiled bathroom walls and floors with
underfloor heating, and walk-in tile/
glass shower in the ensuite.
There is also good storage with
a centrally located walk-in linen
cupboard, and attic trusses in the
double garage. The laundry also sits
in the garage and has a longer than
normal bench with sliding cupboards
underneath and full height storage
cupboard.
Orientated for the sun, this home
has been cleverly positioned on its
609 square metre section. The design
sits within an affordable price bracket
yet its internal features and external
plaster finish with cedar timber and
charcoal coloured joinery, roof and
garage door give it a stylish presence.
Pringle Homes have been recognised
builders in Levi Park in recent years.
They are known for building quality
homes yet as a smaller building
company, offer a more personal
service, flexibility in design and
efficient build times.
Pringle Homes’ new show home is
located at 3 Genoa Avenue, Levi Park
(just around the corner from their
original show home). It opens on
Saturday, 17 December 2016 and will
be open every Thursday to Sunday,
from 12 noon until 4pm.
You can contact Pringle Homes by
phoning Perry on 021 354 289, Ben
on 027 245 0994, the office on 03
421 2795 or via their website: www.

Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
So what are you waiting for? Check
out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.
