Handshakes greet pupils
• By Tom Doudney
THE FIRST students to
attend Rolleston’s two newest
schools were given contrasting
but equally warm welcomes
yesterday.
At Lemonwood Grove School,
principal Sean Bailey was at the
gate giving a firm handshake
and friendly greeting to the 62
new pupils and family members
as they walked in.
Each pupil was looking
forward to something different.
William Moore, 7, said he liked
the look of the playground and
netball hoops, while Sreya Alex
hoped to make new friends and
Haylin Hobson, 8, wanted to
visit the school library.
The school held a mihi
whakatau (formal welcome)
followed by songs and a scavenger
hunt to mark the first
morning but its official opening
ceremony will not take place
until on March 17.

WORK WILL soon get under way
on a major new Rolleston retail
development but details of a further
development are still being kept
under wraps for now.
The Warehouse Group is building
a new shopping complex between
Masefield Drive and McCauley St,
on a 1.8ha section of the Rolleston
Square shopping centre.
The complex will include a new
The Warehouse store, as well as
Warehouse Stationary and Noel
Leeming stores and all are expected
to be open by the end of the year.
Workers’ sheds and fencing have
been put on the site and Rolleston
Square director Lloyd Bathurst said
work was expected to begin “quite
soon.”
The Warehouse’s existing Rolleston
Square store, built in 2010, is
smaller than most of the company’s
stores at 2000 sq m and it decided
that a full sized store was required
for Rolleston. The new store will be
5600 sq m.
Mr Bathurst said new tenants
were being lined up for The
Warehouse’s existing building
but he couldn’t reveal their identity
yet.

“ This is new school cool!”
Faringdon’s new primary school, Lemonwood Grove,
is now open. As is newly completed secondary school,
Rolleston College. With another preschool on the way,
education for all ages is fully catered for at Faringdon.
Come and see how Stages 17-19 are adding to our story.
There is so much more to see. Clever people know that
Faringdon is where it is all happening in 2017.
Buy pre-title and in some cases, with no settlement
until June 2017. Faringdon equals financially smart
as well.

DESK News.................................... 3-15
CANTERBURY’S police chief John
Price gives an insight into the role
of a police officer in our weekly
Soapbox column on page 13.
Price is a good guy who has made
an impact since his return to Canterbury
as the region’s police chief
about 18 months ago.
New Zealand police have a deserved
reputation as being amongst
the best in the world in terms of getting
the job done, and integrity.
It’s often a thankless job where
police have to put up with all sorts off
rubbish, often booze and drug fuelled.
They’re raising great cricketers in
the Leeston Southbridge area (see
page 20).
The club out there has had eight
players named in Canterbury and
New Zealand representative teams
in the last several weeks.
Two, Ben Donkers and Harry
Chamberlain, have been with the
club since the age of five.
Great stuff guys.

Old school hall
new home for playcentre
• By Tom Doudney
TAI TAPU School’s old school
hall has been moved onto the
site of the former community
hall where it will house the local
playcentre.
The earthquake-damaged Tai
Tapu Hall, where the playcentre
had been based, was demolished
last month.
The proposal to demolish the
building had been controversial
in the community when first
reported by the Selwyn Times in
2014, with many wanting to see
it retained.
However, former demolition
opponent and hall committee
member Andy Robertson said
most people had been happy to
accept the demolition now that
plans for a new facility at Rhodes
Park Domain were under
way.
“It is a shame to lose the old
hall and some of the history that
it had but for the community
going forward [the new facility]
is probably a better option,” Mr
Robertson said.
The new community facility
would cost an estimated $4.2
million and depending on the

would include a community

had been among those unhappy
about losing the old community
hall. But president Alice
Scoulding (left) said everyone
was now just happy
to get a good new building
for the playcentre.
“I think a lot of the
people who were opposed
to it have moved
on and with the [community
hall] it was becoming more and
more obvious that it had to go.

www.selwynsounds.co.nz
“We are very excited about the
new building and really looking
forward to reopening,’’ she said.
The playcentre, which has
been based at the Tai Tai Tapu
Hall site for 48 years, has been
operating out of the Lincoln and
Prebbleton playcentres since early
November. It will occupy the
old school hall from term two.
The school had a new hall
built in 2012 and the recent addition
of new classrooms meant
the old school hall building was
no longer required.
Mrs Scoulding said it had
been bought for “a reduced fee”
with funding from the Playcentre
Southern Region Funding
Authority, Canterbury Playcentre
Association Emergency
Fund, Central Region Funding
Authority and Tai Tapu Playcentre’s
own fundraising.
The playcentre was looking to
raise about $50,000 to make the
former school fit for purpose,
which would include adding
toilets, kitchen facilities, a new
deck and other things.

In Brief
LINCOLN DOMAIN
Two fields at Lincoln Domain
remain fenced off as a new
irrigation system has taken
longer to install than anticipated.
The work had been expected to
be finished by mid-January but
Lincoln Event Centre manager
Ginny Bowden said the domain
would now be fully accessible
again by this Sunday. The delay
was due partly to roading
disruptions as a result of the
November 14, North Canterbury
earthquake, some of the
irrigation piping and equipment
arrived late. Unfavourable
weather over the summer break
had also affected the work
schedule and grass germination.
CREEK CHANGES
Flooding during recent storms
appear to have made small, but
potentially permanent, changes
to the course of creeks in the Arthur’s
Pass area. Department of
Conservation Arthur’s Pass partnerships
ranger Chris Stewart
said Punchbowl Creek was flowing
in a new channel next to the
old one for about 200m near the
Devil’s Punchbowl waterfall and
Wardens Creek was also flowing
in a new channel for about 50m
below State Highway 73.

•From page 1
The building would be divided
and used to house several different
“mini-major” businesses
which were not currently based in
Selwyn.
“We call them mini-major
stores because they are not as
big as The Warehouse, which is a
major, but they are still sizeable
businesses because there is well
over 2000 sq m in the existing
store and we can bring a bunch of
tenants there which are quite big
and will be really appreciated by
Selwyn people,” Mr Bathurst said.
“It’s pretty exciting, it will be
great for Rolleston.”
The new The Warehouse Group
development, which was granted
resource consent in July, includes
about 300 new car parks.

A STALWART of Ellesmere and
Canterbury tennis has died.
Ellesmere Tennis Sub-Association
president and Canterbury
Tennis board member Ian Jones
QSM passed away at Christchurch
Hospital on January 22,
aged 79.
Throughout his life, Mr Jones
was heavily involved in various
tennis organisations from the
grass roots to the national level.
It would be almost impossible
to list all of his contributions and
achievements towards developing
the sport in one article but
they included helping establish
the Ellesmere seniors and Canterbury
country seniors tennis in
the late 1970s, the South Island
Veterans Tennis Festival in 1990,
the Rolleston Tennis Club in
2000 and the Leeston-Southbridge
Junior Tennis Centre also
in 2000.
Mr Jones also helped set up a
schools coaching programme in
the Ellesmere area.
He was president of Canterbury
Country Seniors Tennis
from 1980 to 1991 and would often
drive the bus to away games
in Nelson, Blenheim, Dunedin
or Invercargill.
He was a life member of
Southbridge Tennis, Ellesmere
Tennis, Ellesmere Seniors Tennis,
Canterbury Country Seniors
Tennis (of which he was patron),
the South Island Tennis Teams
Festival and Wilding Park.
Ellesmere Tennis vice-president
Dave Greenwood said Mr
Jones had devoted a large part of
his life to developing the sport
and praised his work in setting
up the Rolleston Tennis Club.
“Ian will be missed and always
remembered as a great player,
coach, adviser and passionate
supporter of tennis,” Mr Greenwood
said.
Canterbury Tennis general
manager Hamish Cain said Mr
Jones’ contribution to tennis
across the region was staggering.
“He established two tennis
clubs, he co-ordinated and
delivered the Tennis in Schools
programme across Ellesmere for
15 years, he has been on countless
committees at almost every
level of the game, be it community,
regional or at the national
level with New Zealand Tennis
Seniors,” Mr Cain said.
“Ian has also served as transport
manager for a number of
International Tennis Federation
tournaments that Canterbury
Tennis has hosted in addition
to being the volunteers coordinator
at a number of Davis
Cup ties.”
LEGEND:
Ian Jones’
contribution
to tennis was
“staggering,”
Canterbury
Tennis
general
manager
Hamish Cain
says.
Mr Jones was born in Leeston
in 1937 and learned to play tennis
at the Leeston Tennis Club.
In the early 1950s, his family
shifted to Southbridge and he
joined the local tennis club.
Mr Jones’ father Eric ran the
Southbridge Butchery and, like
others in the family, Mr Jones
followed him into the trade.
He worked in Waiau and
Christchurch for a while before
going into partnership with his
brother Leon at the Southbridge
Butchery. He later held a variety
of other jobs.
Mr Jones leaves behind his
wife Belinda, son Stuart and
daughter-in-law Sue.

Getting connected to
ultra-fast broadband

are among 151 locations which
will get ultra-fast broadband
installed before 2024, the
Government has announced.
They include Darfield, Leeston,
Southbridge, West Melton
Gardening
and the fringes of Lincoln.
The $300 million programme
will allow 85 per cent of New
Zealanders to have
access to fibre
within eight years –
more than the Government’s
original
goal of 80 per cent
by 2022.

New Zealanders with access to
“world-class broadband”.
The first phase of the rollout
focused mostly on larger cities,
and at last count around 300,000
people had access to fibre internet
connections.
Once the installations are
completed, Wellington will have
the greatest access to UFB, with
95.4 per cent coverage. Northland
will have the least access, at
53.5 per cent.
IMPROVEMENTS: Work under way on installing a new
footpath on Masefield Drive. ​
Road upgrade begins
WORK ON upgrading a section
of Rolleston’s Masefield Drive is
under way.
Roadworks are being carried
out on a 320m section on the
east side of Masefield Drive
between the Levi Rd/Lowes Rd
intersection to Dryden Ave.
This route is expected to
become busier both with
pedestrians and vehicles in the
future with the expansion of
the Rolleston Square shopping
centre.
Masefield Drive will also
carry more traffic when the
Weedons Interchange is constructed
as part of stage two of
the Southern Motorway extension.
Work includes kerb and channel
installation, seal widening,
road berm construction and
creating a new footpath which
will link up the existing footpath
network between Levi Rd
and Dryden Ave.
The section of the road currently
has no footpath and has
an unfinished road seal edge
which creates drainage problems
and an untidy roadside.
There is also an unsealed bus
stop. A sealed bus bay will now
be installed.
This work has been undertaken
as a result of requests from
the public. It is being funded
from an unbudgeted SICON
dividend, and won’t impact on
rates.
The road will remain open
during work, with traffic controls
in place. Construction is
expected to be completed by
March.

A ROLLESTON garden
competition has been revived
after having lapsed for the
previous two years.
Entries for the Rolleston residents’
annual garden competition
are to be submitted by February
12, although late entries
will be taken up to February 20,
with judging to take place on
February 24 and 25. A presentation
will be held on March 6 at
The Rock Rolleston.
Competition president Brenda
Dunlop said the competition
had not been held for the
previous two years because
“people got busy” but a group of
residents had worked to get it up
and running again.
“We’re just a volunteer group
that have come together to put
Rolleston back on the map
again,” she said.
“Whether it is a rambling
family garden, a creative native
garden or a vegetable or ecofriendly
garden, there is an opportunity
that you could enter.”
Mrs Dunlop said the competition
was partly about encouraging
people to beautify the town.
“Sections can look so scruffy
and just with them mowed and

Rolleston’s neW RetiRement village
34 Kendon Drive
open monday to Friday 10am - 2pm
Rolleston’s first ‘own your own’ retirement village offers a spacious and secure lifestyle
that also comes with freedom and flexibility for residents.
The first two duplexes, built by Generation Homes Christchurch, have just been
completed at Woodcroft Estate. They mark the start of this exciting new village, with
78 homes planned in total over the next five years along with a manager’s house,
community pavilion and a bowling green (the first in Rolleston).
The village is being established in the popular Devon Park subdivision, with shops
and amenities located nearby in the township of Rolleston.
Spacious two and three bedroom options are coming on stream as duplexes or
standalone villas with single or double garaging. A range of designs and layouts have
been planned to cater for a variety of budgets and preferences, starting from $450,000.
Designed to face north and maximise the sun’s light and warmth, the attractive
brick and tile level-entry villas come with double-glazing, full insulation and LED lighting
for energy efficient living. Other features include a heat pump, quality interior fixtures/
appliances, tiled bathroom and shower and a call system available for 24/7 safety and
peace of mind.
Woodcroft Estate is being presented by The Manor Group, which has 30 years
experience developing villages in the North Island. Some of these include Waterford
Estate in Auckland, Kempton Park in Tauranga and Roseland Park in the Waikato.
The concept of ‘own your own’ is designed to give residents the freedom and
financial benefits similar to home ownership, so should they need to move they will still
enjoy the capital gain of their home. The village will be owned via a Licence to Occupy
that ensures all proceeds from a villa’s sale will go to the actual resident.
Once the village is finished, Manor Group will transfer village ownership into a
residents’ company, enabling residents to contribute to the operation of their own
village, assisted by an on-site manager.
The manager also takes care of the day to day running of the village - repairs and
maintenance as well as the welfare of the residents.

Stu Donald
Vintage tractor buff with a small
Ellesmere Vintage Club
president Stu Donald
talks to reporter Tom
Doudney ahead of a
fair the club is holding
in Leeston in March.
He spoke about the
whare (hut on wheels)
he is building, his classic
John Brown tractors and
the joinery work he has
done on 19th century
houses
What does the vintage club
get up to?
It’s just a heap of enthusiasts
that got together again when
the club was reformed in 2010.
We have got it up to about 100
members.
What’s your own area of
interest when it comes to
vintage stuff?
I’ve just always been interested
in tractors and machinery, older
types of things. For a number of
years, I have been going to fairs
and rallies and things like that
and, when this club got going
in 2010, I joined up. Lately, I’ve
been building myself a whare to
tow behind the tractor. We go to
a few rallies like Wakanui and
Waipara and Rangiora and all
around the countryside.
What’s a whare?
They’re basically huts (on
wheels). They used to tow them
behind traction engines. It is self
contained and you can cook in
them and sleep in them and all
that kind of thing.
How long have you been
building that?
It has basically been on the go
for about a year now. I started off
with a truck chassis.
Has that been quite a hard
job?
No, it’s not too bad because
I’m actually a joiner by trade, so
I have done it all myself and just
fit it in between jobs.
How much longer do you
TOWED: Stu Donald has almost finished building the whare, seen here hitched up to his 950 David
Brown tractor.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
think it will take you to finish
it?
I probably only need another
whole week on it and then I
would have it all done, but it’s
just a matter of finding the time
to do it.
Other than that, what is in
your own vintage collection?
I have basically just got David
Brown tractors. I have got a 950
red David Brown, a white 990
David Brown and a 1594 David
Brown.
Which is the most precious
one to you?
The 950 is the main one I use
for towing the whare. I get along
at about 25 or 30km/h on the
road, holding up traffic I guess.
Do people get annoyed with
you?
Oh no, not really, we try and
keep on the back roads.
So you’ve got 100 members in
the vintage club. What do you
think is the most impressive
item that someone owns, maybe
something that you might wish
was in your own collection?
There are probably a lot of
things. Everybody has got
different things from fire engines
through to traction engines and
classic cars. No one thing, really.
How old are you and how did
your own interest in tractors
and vintage things start?
I’m 56 and I’ve lived on a
farmlet most of my life and
always had tractors and that type
of thing.
Is that in the Ellesmere area?
Yes, in the Leeston area. I
grew up in Leeston and then we
moved to where we are presently
now. We have been here for
about 51 years, almost my whole
life.
How does it feel to live on the
family farm for that long?
Good. I used to run cattle
and run my joinery business
from the farm as well, but I’ve
given up the cattle now and just
basically sell the grass to dairy
farmers and just do my joinery
as I get older, because the vintage
club takes up quite a bit of my
time.
Have you been president since
the club restarted in 2010?
No, I was elected vicepresident
in 2012 and I served
one term before I took over as
president and have been in the
role ever since.
Before the club restarted in
2010, when was it active?
It was active back in the late
1990s for about four or five years
and then interest dropped off so
it kind of shut down and then,
after 2009, when we had this
country fair at Leeston to raise
money for St John ambulance,
it got resurrected again
and people have been quite
enthusiastic ever since.
Does it hold a lot of events?
We help out with promotions
for other clubs and stuff like
that. Also, we do fundraisers,
we have done some for St John
ambulance, the fire brigade and
of course this fair is a fundraiser
for Abbeyfield Ellesmere (a
housing complex for elderly
people which is being built).
What made them stand out as
a good cause to raise funds for?
It’s the first Abbeyfield to
be built in the Selwyn district
and it has been eight and a
half years in the planning. The
chairman of their committee,
Bruce Cochrane, is actually a
member of our club. We just
decided to help them out because
we know they have got enough
money to build the building but
they haven’t got enough for the
chattels and things like that,
so we have raised some money
through a raffle and now we are
going to run this fair for them.
So it’s just basically to help the
community out.
Is being a joiner quite helpful
in general when it comes to
doing up heritage items?
Yes, so you can make your
own windows and doors and
cabinets and things like that. I
have made other windows for
other people’s whares and
helped them renew their ones.
Some of them were older whares
and we have recladded them and
done the whole lot from scratch
again.
Within the vintage club are
there a lot of people who have
got different skills which are
quite helpful when it comes
to repairing each other’s
machinery and things that
might need a bit of tender love
and care?
Yeah, we have got a range of
panelbeaters, spraypainters,
mechanics, joiners, builders,
engineers and all that sort
of thing which is quite good
because you call on someone for
a bit of a hand or advice.

Bill Pickering writes
about the organisation’s
work in the community
over the years and its
drive for new members
VINTAGE MACHINES: Stu Donald riding a tractor at the 150 Years of
Leeston event in 2014.
With your club and the Ellesmere
Heritage Park in the area as well, it
seems like there is quite a bit of local
interest in heritage. Why do you
think that is?
I just think it’s an old district, we
just celebrated 150 years back in 2014.
There is a lot of heritage around the
area and people haven’t really moved
far from the Ellesmere area once
they’ve arrived from basically the first
four ships. They’ve just stayed here.
Apart from joinery, have you ever
had any other types of jobs?
No, I left school and went and did
an apprenticeship in joinery and have
been self-employed for the last 31
years.
It must be nice to be your own
boss.
It is sometimes, it’s hard to have an
argument with yourself.
Is most of your work around the
Ellesmere area?
Yes, I do kitchens and wooden windows
and doors and that type of thing.
What’s the most interesting sort of
assignment you’ve had as a joiner?
I have restored some older houses
that have been around the 1870s mark,
recladded them on the outside and
done veranda posts and just put them
back to a replica of the way they were
again. I think that’s the most interesting
thing, just restoring heritage
around the area.
What’s the biggest challenge with
those sort of jobs? I suppose you’ve
got to be quite careful to get it right.
Understanding the system of how
they were built years ago and lots of
layers of plaster which you’ve got to be
very careful of because if you do the
wrong thing, it’s all going to end up on
the floor.
Do you have a wife?
Yes, Judy.
Is she into heritage as well?
Judy is actually secretary of our club
at the moment.
Do you think this fair in March is
going to be quite a big deal?
Yes, we’ve got people coming from
Invercargill and Motueka and the
West Coast all converging on us.
What are some of the highlights
going to be for visitors?
There will be traction engines
around pulling sledges and trailers
around, draft horses pulling drays
around with seeds on them and the
wooden and tin mills, we will have
kiddies’ rides there and plenty of
stalls.
• The Ellesmere Vintage Fair
will be held at the Ellesmere

Covering the Rolleston and
West Melton township areas,
Rolleston Lions will celebrate
40 years of service and commitment
to this district next
year.
Meanwhile, our parent
organisation, Lions International,
now with 1.4 million
members, is currently celebrating
a century of service
to humanity worldwide.
Members are proud of the
encouragement and support
they have given to a wide
range of clubs, groups and
individuals over the years.
This includes providing all
the sports equipment for the
Rolleston Community Centre
when it was opened in
April 1999 and supplying all
the life saving equipment for
the Selwyn Aquatic Centre
when it opened in 2013.
Concern for the well-being
of the district’s children after
the earthquakes in 2010 and
2011 led to a children’s fun
day being run in Rolleston
and, later on, a free fun day
at Ferrymead Heritage Park
with other Lions clubs, which
was attended by more than
10,000 people.

can be found running
the meat raffle at The Rock
Rolleston on Friday evening,
producing takeaways at
the Guy Fawke’s fireworks

Field Days in Kirwee, or perhaps
doing a sausage sizzle
at the Rolleston Envirotown
market. This tests our teamwork
and organisational
skills, but is always enjoyable
and engaging with those who
support our causes.
Being a Lion is not
all work, we have a tea

interesting speakers, and

Maintaining trust and confidence
Canterbury
district police
commander
Superintendent
John Price talks
about modern
day policing
I am extremely proud of the
police team who serve the people
and make a difference to the
community every minute of
every day as our team keep the
peace and ensure the public will
be safe and feel safe.
In New Zealand, our police
have the implicit consent of the
community. In order to do this,
we must be seen as policing with
integrity and with accountability.
Essentially, we must have the
trust and confidence of the community.
Policing by consent follows the
principles, ideas and ideals of
Sir Robert Peel, which define an
ethical police organisation.
These ‘Peelian Principles’ are
as relevant today as they were in
1829 when they were established.
Police, at all times, should
maintain a relationship with the
public that gives reality to the
historic tradition that the police
are the public, and the public are
the police.
We maintain the highest level
of ‘full trust and confidence’ of
any policing organisation in the
world, at about 80 per cent.
By comparison, some policing
jurisdictions have trust and confidence
levels lower that 10 per
cent, demonstrating that those
organisations are not widely seen
as ethical and trustworthy.
If you have travelled overseas,
you will have seen examples of
policing organisations which
have an approach of policing
with fear and only force.
We place enormous importance
on maintaining and fostering
the trust and confidence of
our communities and we work
hard to ensure we maintain our
core values and hold each other
to account.
Having been a member for 30
years I think the community is
justified in having trust and confidence
in this organisation.
In Canterbury, we want to
ensure that people can be safe
and feel safe and I’m sure that is a
sentiment you will share.
Our focus is on reducing harm
caused to families, whether that
be through violence in the home,
death and injury on the roads,
drug use or dishonesty offending.
We also want to empower
communities to work together,
support each other and to speak
up when something isn’t right.
We work very closely with
a range of agencies and community
groups to ensure people
receive the support they need and
deserve.
Over the past year, we have targeted
those bringing illegal drugs
and firearms into our communities
and, as a result, have seized
140 illegal firearms. Each one of
those is potentially a life saved.
We have also prevented significant
amounts of illegal drugs in
getting to our streets.
We are very lucky in that we
receive a lot of positive feedback
from members of the community
for the work we do.
To those people who have taken
the time to contact us, I would
like you to know that your words
of support mean a lot to myself
and my team who come to work
every day to make a difference in
the lives of everyone so that we
can be the safest country.

the current status of a

• This block of land in central

leaving an overgrown area, left to
go wild.
I gather the land is owned by
several different land owners, but
the responsibility to make it a
pleasant, safe place for residents
has not occurred.
Recently an attempt has been
made to cut the grass, because it
Motoring
had become a fire hazard.
Because of the heaps of subdivision
rubbish they have just

Residents whose properties

frustrated.
Can the residents be advised of
what the actual plans for this site
are, and the time frame?
• The buses which pass
through Prebbleton no longer
go to Hornby or to the Bush Inn
centre.
They go from Springs Rd,
along Blenheim Rd to Riccarton,
then into the city.
Locals want to support their
closest shopping centres and not
go through to Riccarton.
With the inevitable congestion
on the roads here until the
second stage of the Southern
Motorway is completed, the less
traffic on the roads, the better.
At least a half hourly bus
should go to Hornby and give the
opportunity to access the other
routes from The Hub.
Environment Canterbury
manager public transport
strategy Shannon Booer
responds
The bus service goes to Riccarton
as our patronage showed this
was the area where there was the
most customer demand at the
time of the last review in 2014.
Buses used to travel via
Hornby many years ago but were
altered to make the service more
attractive to passengers following
customer feedback that this
made the route too long for those
people trying to reach Riccarton
or the city.
The redevelopment of The
Hub at Hornby may change the
community demand over time
and we can revisit this during
the next review in a couple of
years’ time, but there are no
immediate plans to alter the 80
Lincoln route.
Boosting confidence
for older drivers
COURSES AIMED at helping
mature drivers gain skills to
be safer on the road are being
offered to Selwyn residents in
February and March.
CarFit events can also be
organised during these months
providing a free check of car
safety features and advice on
how older drivers can adopt a
comfortable and safe driving
position in their vehicle.
As in other areas of New
Zealand, the number of Selwyn
motorists over the age of 60
is expected to increase in the
future.
Selwyn road safety coordinator
Ngaire Tinning said
confident driving courses were
a fun and easy way for residents
over 60 to refresh their driving
and road rule knowledge and
also look at ways to plan how
their driving could be safer on
the road.
“As Selwyn is a rural area,
driving is important for older
people to be able to access local
services and keep connected to
family and friends,” Mrs Tinning
said.
“The workshops have proven
very popular and valuable to assist
people to be able to continue
to drive safely on our roads.”
The courses covers road

League club up and running
• By Tom Doudney
ROLLESTON’S FIRST rugby
league club since the early 2000s
has held its first two events – a
pool party last week and a
nines tournament at Rolleston
Reserve on Saturday.
The inaugural Rolleston Nines
tournament, which featured
the Rolleston Warriors and five
teams from Christchurch, was
won by the Linwood Keas which
defeated the Halswell Hornets
28-6 in the final.
Although the Warriors lost all
three of their games, Rolleston
Rugby League Club president
Nui Ririnui said just taking part
had been a valuable experience
for the players.
The club’s first junior
sides would compete in the
Canterbury rugby league
competition starting in April
and there were plans to have a
senior team within the next five
years.
Mr Ririnui said the club had
chosen to use the Warriors
name in reference to the
Warriors NRL side.
“We wanted to align ourselves
with the New Zealand Warriors
because they are New Zealand’s
top team,” he said.
“Maybe when we have future
events we can get some of [the
New Zealand Warriors players]
down here. Maybe one day
we can be a feeder club to the
BIG HITS: Six teams contested the first Rolleston Nines competition, held at Rolleston
Reserve on Saturday. Linwood Keas were eventual winners.
Warriors.”
The club had originally been
planning to use the Raiders
name associated with the last
rugby league club to be based in
Rolleston but decided against it.
“What we wanted to do was
bring something fresh to the
community.”
An earlier suggestion that the
club could be affiliated to the
Rolleston Rugby Football Club
had also been abandoned as
the club wanted to have its own
identity.
“A lot of kids love rugby
league and love watching it and
they have just had nowhere to
go.”
Mr Ririnui said Saturday’s
nines competition was the first
time Rolleston had staged
rugby league games in about 16
years.
It would be good preparation
for the Crosbie Nines
competition, on February 11, in
which the club would also enter
a team.
Anyone wishing to register
junior players with the Rolleston
Rugby League Club can do so
via its Facebook page.
The club’s next event will be
on March 5 at Brookside Park
when an open day will be held
and the club’s new logo and
uniforms will be revealed.

Lincoln
bowler wins
at Ellesmere
• By Karolyn Boon
LINCOLN’S MARTIN Rowson
has won the Ellesmere Bowls men’s
open singles on his home green.
On Sunday, a field of 16 competed
in good conditions on what is
normally a terrible green to play
when the north-west wind is
blowing.
Rowson had to play all three
playoff games before beating
teammate Mundy Carroll in the
final. Carroll was up 7-5 early in
the game and held two shots, but
in trying to get a third he trailed
the jack to go down by three. He
would have had the edge over his
opponent if he had gone ahead 9-5
and not gone for the extra shot.
Rowson then went ahead to be
12-9 with two ends to go. On the
14th end, Rowson held three shots
so Carroll tried to drive them off.
He missed and they shook hands
with one end to go.
Out of a field of 16, there were
six qualifiers for the playoffs.
Dunsandel player Brian Chapman
had to beat Dave Williams from
Lincoln to meet Rowson in the
semi-final. Rowson’s opponent
in the quarter-final was Leeston’s
Colin Lowery who he beat 16-6.

Look out for
children on the roads
This week over 8,000 Selwyn children will be travelling to school.
Selwyn School Road Safety Co-ordinator Stephanie Hautler is reminding drivers to watch out for
children and slow down near schools, early childhood centres and stopped school buses. Local
children will be travelling to school by bus, bike, car, scooter and on foot.
“Children can dart out on to the road unexpectedly. Drivers need to slow down and be extra
cautious near schools and early childhood centres, and remember that 20 km per hour is the
speed limit past a school bus that has stopped to let children on or off,” says Ms Hautler.
This year, two new schools open in Rolleston – Rolleston College and Lemonwood Grove School
- so children will be using new travel routes to these schools.
“The safety of all children is paramount,” says Senior Sergeant Pete Stills of the New Zealand
Police. “Police will be patrolling outside schools and pre-schools so as to reduce the risk posed
by speeding vehicles, illegal parking and dangerous driving manoeuvres whilst everyone gets
used to children being back at school.”
Parents also need to be mindful of their own driving when dropping off or picking up children.
“From observation I have seen drivers’ double parking, parking over driveways and footpaths and
parking on yellow lines near crossings and intersections,” says Ms Hautler. “Taking the shortest
route is not always the safest option for your kids or other children,” she adds.
School travel safety tips:
· Reduce your speed around children
· Park well back from crossings and intersections so children can be seen
· Ensure children walking, scooting or biking wear their safety vest to help them be seen
· If dropping children off by car, ensure they get out on the footpath side of the car
· Encourage your children to use crossing points and kea crossings and always look out for
vehicles in driveways
· Teach children to cross roads safely and to judge safe distances.
Road safety resources for parents and children are available from the Council by emailing
stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phoning 347 2705.
On the roads this week
Repairs are planned to the Waimakariri Gorge Bridge with traffic controls operating. Short delays may
occur when staff gain access the bridge substructure via the manholes in the deck. Road repairs will
occur on Telegraph Road between Courtenay and Bealey Roads with stop/go traffic controls operating.
Road resurfacing work is planned on East Belt (between Edward and James Streets), Birchs Road
(between Trices and Leadleys Roads) and Hamptons Road (between Birchs Road and the road end).
Stop/go traffic controls will operate at all sites. Footpath reconstruction work is also planned on
Habgood Place and James Street in Lincoln.
The intersection of Kidman Street, Byron Street and Tennyson Street is open with temporary traffic
management controls in place while the roundabout construction continues. Delays will occur at
different stages of the remaining construction particularly during the construction of the islands. People
are encouraged to use an alternative route if possible.
East Maddisons Road is currently closed from Ellington Mews to Goulds Road for sewer installation
work. Road reconstruction continues on Gerald Street (between Springs Road and Vernon Drive),
with traffic controls operating. Work on Masefield Drive (between Lowes Road and Dryden Avene) is
underway including kerb and channel and seal widening work, and footpath development. The road is
open with traffic controls in place. Stormwater and roading upgrade work continues on Manse Road,
Leeston, with temporary traffic controls operating.
Work on Dunns Crossing Road at West Rolleston School is continuing with the final tidy up work
underway. The road is open with traffic controls in place. Dunns Crossing Road between Burnham
School and Brookside Roads will be closed until Tuesday 31 January for sewer pipe installation.
Detours will be in place via Brookside and Burnham School Roads.
Partial road closures - Christchurch Southern Motorway extension
On Weedons Road there is no access to Main South Road from Levi Road as a one way system
is in place to allow the NZ Transport Agency to complete work for the Christchurch Southern
Motorway extension.
Coastal households receive
tsunami advice
Around 500 coastal households received a letter from the Council
in December with advice on what to do in a tsunami and how to
receive alerts 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.
None of Selwyn’s main townships are inside the orange zone
or are considered to be at risk from tsunamis. The only smaller
settlements inside the zone are Rakaia Huts, Taumutu, Upper
Selwyn Huts, Lower Selwyn Huts and Greenpark Huts.
Lincoln Event Centre, Leeston Library and Service Centre and
Southbridge Hall can operate as evacuation centres if a tsunami
warning is issued. These locations are all outside the orange
tsunami risk zone. Southbridge Hall was recently used as an
evacuation centre when a tsunami warning was issued after the
14 November North Canterbury Earthquake and local community
response team volunteers helped around 60 people there.
If you are holidaying or visiting the coast and you feel a long or
strong earthquake, see a sudden rise or fall in sea level or hear
loud or unusual noises from the sea then you should move inland
or go to higher ground as soon as possible. Don’t wait for an
official tsunami warning to do this. This same advice should be
followed by people within the ‘orange zone’ in Selwyn. For more
information on tsunami risk and warnings in Selwyn, visit
www.selwyn.govt.nz/tsunami
Community response team volunteers Robyn Searle & Susan Stewart help run
Southbridge Hall evacuation centre on 14 November

Craig is one of four Councillors in the Selwyn Central ward, which
covers Rolleston, West Melton and surrounding areas. He can be
contacted on 027 807 2097 or at craig.watson@selwyn.govt.nz
What is your background?
I trained and worked as a Radiation Therapist (cancer treatment),
and have worked all over the world in this role. I now work for a
Crown Entity called International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ)
as a Lead Assessor in their Radiology Programme. I travel a lot and
meet some awesome people working in Radiology across New
Zealand. I am grateful to IANZ for allowing me to go part time to be
a Councillor.
What do you like about the area you represent?
There is so much to like about Selwyn and Selwyn Central. The
great communities that are still shaping and adjusting to all the
district’s new families (like mine!). The excellent access to the
coast, mountains and the mighty South. The cool scenery, walks,
events, people and townships. The future of our district that we can
ALL influence and the past we can learn from. What’s not to like?
How have you helped people
in the past?
My family and I have only been
here for two years, but I have
tried to get involved from the
start. I was on the establishment
board for Lemonwood Grove
School: Te Uru Tarata and am
currently on the Canterbury
Area Board for the Royal New
Zealand Plunket Society. In
previous towns I have lived in I
have had governance roles on a
variety of NFP boards, primarily
with a health slant. I was also
involved in some Rotary Clubs,
if anyone wants to start one in
Rolleston I’m in!

SELWYN TIMES
Selwyn beaming with national talent
• By Tom Doudney
A SELWYN cricket club is
punching above its weight at
Canterbury representative level.
Leeston Southbridge has
had eight players named in
Canterbury and New Zealand
representative teams over the
past several weeks.
Two of those players, Ben
Donkers and Harry Chamberlain,
have been with the club
since the age of five.
Donkers has made the New
Zealand under-18 and Canterbury
under-19 one-day teams,
while Chamberlain has made the
Canterbury one-day side after
initially being selected for the
Canterbury A and Canterbury
Country Hawke Cup sides.
Toby Doyle, Mitch Ross, Harrison
Cox, Tim Gruitjers and
Morgan Jeffery all made the
Canterbury Country Hawke Cup
team, while Ben Chamberlain,
younger brother of Harry Chamberlain,
made the Canterbury
under-19 one-day team.
For Gruitjers, Cox and Jeffery,
it was the first time they had
made the Canterbury Country
side. Gruitjers plays international
cricket for the Netherlands but
plays in New Zealand during
their off season.
Leeston Southbridge president
Blair Franklin said having eight
players selected for representative
teams was a great achievement
for a small club, and “even more
pleasing, considering that both
(Donkers and Chamberlain)
have been with the club since the
age of 5-years-old.”
NATIONAL SELECTION: Leeston Southbridge cricketer
Ben Donkers (right), with fellow New Zealand age group
representative Mitchell Hay. ​
Donkers, an all-rounder
who bats in the middle order
and bowls brisk medium
pace, has had an outstanding
season, captaining both the
Christchurch Boys’ High School
first XI to the national secondary
schools’ title and Canterbury
at the national under-19
tournament.
Franklin said Donkers’ natural
athleticism and versatility in the
field was a huge advantage.
“He would be one of the best
fielders in the game at this age
level. He is a natural leader and
has maturity and knowledge well
beyond his years,” he said.
Franklin said Chamberlain
had been involved in Canterbury
age group programmes for the
last six or seven years and had
developed into a hard-hitting top
order batsman.
“His promotion to the
Canterbury men’s side was never
a matter of if but when,” he said.
“Like all young, talented
sportspeople, they sometimes
just need an opportunity to show
their talents and (Chamberlain)
now has the platform to
showcase his abilities.”

Leeston Southbridge fight back on first day against Southbrook
A LEESTON Southbridge
side decimated by the loss of
six players on representative
duty was skittled for just 51 by
Southbrook in the second round
of the CRV Ambreed Country
Premier two-day cricket
competition.
At Southbrook Park, the home
side rattled through the depleted
line-up, with pace duo Ben
Rayner and Fergus Fairbairn
doing the damage.
In reply, Southbrook were in
trouble at 27/5 before skipper
Matt Brine (37), Sam Ermerins
(13) and an unbeaten 35 from
Darryn Boyle steadied the ship.
Southbrook declared at 109/9,
with a handy lead of 58 runs.
Leeston Southbridge fought
hard in the second innings,
erasing the deficit and making
their way to 74/2 at stumps –
with a lead of 16 going into the
final day next weekend.
Meanwhile, Sefton put
themselves in a commanding
position on day one of their
match against Lincoln. Batting
first, the Seals received handy
contributions from Patrick
Croker, Ollie Bragg, Matt Rowe
and top scorer Al Chamberlain
who came up from the senior
team. They posted 246/9 before
declaring at the 55 over mark.
After Lincoln lost early
wickets, an unbroken 82-run
partnership between Jamie
Chapman and Hugh Paterson
restored the match to an even
contest with the team reaching
135/5 at the close of play.

Softballer goes to next level
• By Tom Doudney
A ROLLESTON teenager has
been named in the South Island
under-15 softball team to play
the North Island in the curtainraiser
to the International
Challenge Cup final in
Auckland.
The Challenge Cup will see
the world No 1 New Zealand
Black Sox playing in a tournament
with five other teams
– Japan, Argentina, Australia,
Czech Republic and Samoa. The
final will be played on February
12.
Rolleston’s Blake Hardy, 14,
was selected for the South Island
team after his strong performance
representing Canterbury
in the South Island under-15
championships in Dunedin
earlier this month.
Hardy was part of the team
which bet Nelson 7-0 to win the
title. He was a key component
for his team and was rewarded
by taking home the best batter
award. Hardy had a tournament
batting average of .632 and
had 12 safe shots from 19 bats,
including two home runs.
As well as the curtain-raiser
game, the South Island and
North Island under-15 sides
will play a series of other games
against each other earlier in the
day.
A good performance from
Hardy could see him in line
for even higher honours, as the
RISING TALENT: Rolleston softballer Blake Hardy has made the under 15 South Island
team to play the North Island on February 12. ​
games will be used to assess
players for selection to the
New Zealand under-15 softball
team.
Hardy said he was happy
and excited to be playing at the
Challenge Cup.
“That will be a lot of fun and
some more game time for me,”
he said.
Hardy had been playing
softball for about four years. He
took up the sport after giving
SPORTS
up cricket which he had found
boring.
He planned to keep on working
hard on his softball game
and see how far he could go in
the sport.
Canterbury Softball
Association chief executive
Cheryl Kemp said playing at
the Challenge Cup was a great
opportunity and the Rolleston
club deserved praise for how
it was developing its young
players.
“Their players are starting
to be identified at a higher
level than just Canterbury and
I think that is kudos to the club
and their commitment to their
junior players.”
Top US
drivers for
Ruapuna
IT’S BEEN a long time between
drinks for midget car fans when
it comes to seeing top-line drivers
from the United States at Ruapuna
Speedway.
However, the drought will end
this Saturday night, as the line-up
for the New Zealand Midget Car
Grand Prix has been boosted by
the entry of highly rated Spencer
Bayston and Tyler Thomas to the
field.
Both drivers contested the
international series over the
holiday break at Auckland’s
Western Springs before flying
back to the United States to
compete in the Chili Bowl race
held at a large indoor track in
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
They then recrossed the Pacific
back to New Zealand to compete
in the national championship at
Nelson last weekend and have
decided to travel south to race at
Ruapuna.
Bayston from Lebanon, Indiana,
was number two in the
US midget power rankings for
the 2016 season, while Thomas,
from Collinsville, Oklahoma, was
ranked ninth.
The Grand Prix will be contested
over 40 laps. Gates open
at 5pm, and the first race is at
6.30pm.

Brussels sprouts: Love ’em or hate ’em
• By Janet Wade
BRUSSELS SPROUTS top the list of New
Zealand’s most disliked vegetables.
The Belgians aren’t rushing to claim
credit for these almost universally reviled
vegetables, though the link to their capital
city appears to have come from the
vegetable’s popularity in Belgium during the
Middle Ages and stuck as they spread to the
rest of the world. To still be with us today,
Brussels sprouts must have something going
for them – and indeed they do!
If the sprouts are picked when their
heads are tight and no more than 2.5-5cm
across, they are deliciously tender and have
a milder, sweeter taste than their often
tough, bitter, store-bought or frozen cousins.
Likewise, the unpleasant, sulphurous odour
that is associated with them doesn’t occur
unless they are overcooked. The smell is
produced by sulphur-containing compounds
called glucosinolates that research indicates
help prevent cancer (only broccoli contains
more). Packed with an abundance of other
vitamins and minerals, all in all, they are
considered one of the world’s healthiest
foods.
Originating in the northern hemisphere,
where Brussels sprouts are traditionally
served as part of the British Christmas
dinner (no doubt to the chagrin of British
children), they are exclusively a crop
for New Zealand’s colder climate areas.
Ohakune and Oamaru are where most of
our commercially-grown Brussels sprouts
are produced. In saying that, the ones in the
accompanying photographs were grown in

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Modern hybrid varieties, such as these ‘Red Ribs’, have had the bitterness bred out
of them; Firm the soil down around the seedlings well, so the plants can support their top-heavy growth, and the
sprouts remain tight and firm; Keep an eye out for aphids, which secrete an enzyme that causes the leaves to curl
over and hide them; The sprouts begin to form in the leaf axils once the plants are mature, meaning a long wait for
the end result; Chocolate Brussels sprouts find equal favour with people who love Brussels sprouts and those who
hate them; The sprouts begin to mature from the bottom of the stalk. Topping the plant concentrates all its energy
into the sprouts and causes them to mature together.
Auckland; however, plants grown in warm
areas are more likely to produce loose heads
(unrecognisable as Brussels sprouts), bolt
to seed, and without frost the flavour of the
sprouts isn’t as good.
Warmer climates also allow their main
pests to proliferate such as caterpillars,
aphids and slugs and snails. Birds, too, can
be a problem, targeting the seedlings and
emerging sprouts (pigeons in particular).
Netting can be used to keep the birds and
butterflies at bay, but you will need to keep
a careful watch for aphids, which secrete a
chemical that causes the leaves to curl over
to provide a hiding place.
Brussels sprouts are normally planted very
early in spring, and again in mid-to-late
summer. Most varieties take at least three
to five months to produce a harvest because
the sprouts only form once the plant reaches
maturity.
The plants are best started in seed trays
then transplanted around six weeks later,
once they have four to six leaves, to a site in
full sun, with well-drained soil, enriched
with a high-nitrogen general garden
fertiliser.
Space the plants with at least 50cm
between them, in rows around 75cm apart.
Sink the seedlings down to their first set of
leaves and firm the soil around them well, so
that the plants can support their top-heavy
growth, and the sprouts don’t develop loose
heads because the plants rock around in the
wind.
Side-dress with a high-nitrogen fertiliser
four weeks after planting and again at eight
weeks, but don’t apply further nitrogen once
the sprouts start to form. Keep the plants
evenly moist during the growing season. A
mulch can help to keep the soil cool and
moist and suppress weed growth.

Wonderful Water
Watering regularly is important at this time of year. It won’t take long for your
garden and your pots to dry out, which puts a lot of stress on your plants. Get
yourself a good quality sprinkler, hose and watering wand. You may also want
to get a water timer and water flow meter. Intelligro have a good range of
these products, available on the website and in store. A good long water every
few days is ideal, as opposed to a light water daily. Watch you don’t over
water too. If the foliage begins to brown at the edges and fall off your plant,
this could be a sign of too much water. If plants are over watered, they get
starved of oxygen at the roots and lose the ability to take up the water. If in
doubt, check the soil. You want it to be damp, not soggy.
Handy tip!
Intelligro Wetting Agent is a handy product that will help to keep your plants
with the right amount of water all through the year. Not only does it help to
retain moisture through the summer, it will also improve drainage in periods of
high rain fall. It is easy to use and works wonders in the garden!

Struggling with the lawn?
Keeping the lawn green isn’t going to be an easy feat, but with these
ideas you can certainly keep it healthy.
Keep the mower on a high cut setting. The longer the grass is the more
it is going to shelter the weeds from direct sunlight, giving them more
opportunity to germinate. It also reduces evaporation and drying out.
A deep water twice a week is more beneficial than a light watering
every day. The reasoning behind this is it encourages the grass roots
for establish further down. This is beneficial for drought tolerance and
keeping a well-established lawn.
For more information,
check out our website:
www.igro.co.nz
or visit our facebook page:
www.facebook.com/igro.co.nz
If you feel that it needs some more nutrients, grab some Intelligro Lawn
Fertiliser. This is best done on a cloudy, overcast day (and if rain is
forecast even better!). Make sure you follow all instructions, and water
well after application.

Dairy Woman of the
Year nominations open
Dairy Women’s Network is on the hunt
for an inspiring industry leader.
Nominations open for the sixth Dairy
Woman of the Year on 1 February 2017.
“There is no shortage of potential
winners out there doing amazing things in
the industry every day,” says DWN trustee
Alison Gibb.
“It’s just that these women often
don’t realise that what they are doing is
exceptional because they are driven by
their own beliefs and passions without
knowing the effect they are having on
the wider industry at the time and in the
future.”
Gibb says the 2017 winner, who will be
announced at the Network’s conference
in Queenstown in May, will be someone
who is passionate about the industry,
is a leader in her
attitude and who is
out there making
things happen
beyond the farm
gate and beyond her
community.
“It’s so important
that DWN has
created this
opportunity to
acknowledge the
work that these
women do in

dairy industry,” says Gibb.
“The Dairy Woman of the Year is the
only award of its kind in the dairy industry.
There are plenty of industry awards –
but nothing acknowledging the huge
contribution women make.
“So this is a unique opportunity to
acknowledge the incredible and valuable
role that dairy women play in this country.”
With that in mind, she also said anybody
could nominate a DWN member for the
title.
“Nominators don’t need to be female, or
even DWN members. They might be bank
managers, colleagues, neighbours, sales
reps – it doesn’t matter.”

SIAFD will be even
bigger and better
The 2017 South Island Field Days
(SIAFD) at Kirwee promises to be even
bigger and better than before with the
purchase of neighbouring land allowing
for more displays and demonstrations.
The expansion of the event, held from
29 to 31 March, will underscore the
fact SIAFD is New Zealand’s premier
demonstration event for agricultural
machinery.
In 2015, SIAFD held its first field
days at the site it purchased off
Courtenay Road, Kirwee. The SIAFD
board bought the site when 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
40ha of land adjacent to our site,” says
spokesperson Daniel Schat.
“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.
“The machinery demonstrations
will feature beet harvesters and maize
choppers as well as a full range of balers
and cultivation equipment.”
A true community event, a group of
dedicated volunteers organise and run
the Field Days, and community groups
provide many of the services –parking,
catering and clean-up – that make them
function smoothly.
“We also provide $5000 in
scholarships that go to two Lincoln
University students. We will announce
the winners of the 2017 scholarship
winners soon,” he says.
South Island Field Days 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.

the For Exhibitors, The Event and the
Downloads sections or contact SIAFD
secretary Nicola Burgess on 03 423

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Farmers reminded to irrigate
the grass not the road
Environment
Canterbury is reminding
irrigators to be aware
of where their water is
going and irrigate the
grass-not the road.
Environment Canterbury principal
resource management advisor Richard
Purdon said some irrigators across the
region needed to adjust their aim and
irrigate the grass rather than the road.
Irrigation onto roads, particularly gravel
roads, is not only a waste of water but also
has the potential to create safety issues for
motorists, he said.
“It is the surprise element and the force of
the water that could easily startle a motorist,
it is especially dangerous for those on
motorcycles” Richard said.
Richard said irrigation consent holders
are responsible for the use of water that is
applied to their properties.
“Resource consent conditions authorise
the use of water to a consented piece of
land, not to run to waste,” Richard said.
“We understand it can be difficult on very
windy days but hardstand areas such as state
highways and rural roads are not consented
or authorised to be irrigated.”
Irrigation system operators must monitor
the use of their water and equipment to
make sure the water is used in the way that
was authorised by their resource consent.
“All irrigators should ensure that their
water allocations are used diligently and not
wasted, especially in a dry season. We will
continue to monitor unauthorised use of
water utilising our new locally based water
zone officers and deal with it on a case-bycase
basis,” he said.
Irrigation New Zealand chief executive
Andrew Curtis said the two main culprits
for water going over-boundary were the
end guns on pivot irrigators and travelling
irrigators set up too close to roads.
“Watering onto roads creates a significant
safety hazard, so it’s really important for
irrigators to ensure they water within their
property boundaries.”
“My advice is to ensure end guns are
set and operating correctly and regularly
checked. When you set up your travelling
irrigator always have a set-back distance
from the road,” he said.
Farmers should ensure they’re being
responsible with their water.
“Aside from the safety issue, people don’t
like seeing water being wasted by being
sprayed onto roads. Farmers who irrigate
do so under strict regulatory regimes so
it’s important they justify their use of water
by being efficient and responsible with it,”
Andrew said.
Anyone experiencing spray on the road
that is clearly coming from an irrigation
system should contact Environment
Canterbury on 0800 324 636. If there is
immediate danger to road users they should
contact the police.

Citroen flair for
DS4 Crossback
• By Ross Kiddie
Tuesday January 31 2017
IF THERE was one thing
the separate market
platforms for Citroen and
DS has achieved is that the
designers of both brands
have been given freedom of
expression.
Citroen has always been
known as a company which
has explored the extremes
of automotive design, the
DS brand which is marketed
parallel to Citroen takes
that adventurous approach
one step further.
That can certainly be said
of the DS4 Crossback, the
subject of this evaluation.
Its shape is very charismatic
and has extended the
sport utility vehicle parameters,
it is a crossover vehicle
which, in simple terms,
looks rather like a fully
grown hatchback/liftback.
But its body styling
must have really tested the
boundaries of what is possible
in terms of engineering.
Take the rear doors,
for example, they meld to
a strong point at the top
and slot into a cavity which
looks fabulous, but I can
imagine they would have
been problematic to create.
All through the DS4
Crossback interesting elements
present themselves
and, for that reason alone,
it is a vehicle which appeals
for its fashion and style.
As I mentioned, it is
also a car which borders
in the SUV category even
though it has a traditional
two-wheel-drive (front)
driveline. But it does get
the wonderful 2-litre turbocharged
diesel engine
which has found its way
through much of Citroen’s
product, and it is a power
plant which delivers
fabulous performance and
economy.
In terms of figures, the
1977cc unit pumps out
133kW at the top end,
and a hearty 400Nm of
torque at the bottom end
(2000rpm). That being
the case, acceleration is
swift, the DS4 will lunge to
100km/h from a standstill
in 8.6sec, and will make
120km/h from 80km/h
in 4.3sec, the force of the
turbo boost through the
mid-range is something
quite startling and a joy to
feel.
Even though it is capable
of spirited acceleration, this
engine is rated by Citroen/
DS with a 4.4-litre per
100km (64mpg) combined
cycle fuel usage average. I
DS4 CROSSBACK: Adventurous styling.
couldn’t get anywhere near
that figure during testing,
but I did achieve an average
of 6.4l/100km (44mpg)
which I thought was
reasonable, along with a
6l/100km (47mpg) instantaneous
figure travelling at
100km/h, the engine just
loping along at 1400rpm at
that speed.
• Price – Citroen DS4
Crossback, $54,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4284mm; width,
1810mm; height,
1535mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1997cc, 133kW,
400Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.6sec
• Fuel usage –
4.4l/100km
I took the test car on my
usual high country loop
from Waddington through
the back roads to Hororata,
it cruises the highway
quietly and with a sporty
feel that encourages quick
cornering. Citroen has long
been admired for suspension
technology and velvetlike
ride. The Crossback
set-up is just that little bit
harder than I was expecting,
some of which can be
attributed to low profile
tyres (225/45 x 18in), but
that helps with that sport
feel at the steering.
When it comes to being
placed quickly into a corner,
there is sharp turnin
and unyielding grip,
while sport specification
Michelin Pilot rubber provides
positive information
back to the steering wheel.
Body balance over the
suspension is also well controlled,
the suspension and
chassis dynamics make for
a purposeful drive.
I also took the test car on
an across town trip from
my home in the south to
North Beach to pick up a
Trade Me item I had purchased,
and it dealt to the
worst of the bumps and
ruts with dignity and control,
the occupants far from
unsettled.
Drive is channelled
through a traditional sixspeed
automatic gearbox,
and it works fluidly in conjunction
with the engine’s
power output and management
protocols. While this
may seem a little ordinary
in comparison to the other
standout engineering features,
there are plenty of
other features on offer.
The Crossback comes
with a substantial amount
of fitment for its $54,990
price tag, standard items
include satellite navigation,
idle stop start, dual-zone
climate control, cruise
control with speed limiter,
comprehensive infotainment
centre, heated front
seats, and a heap of safety
gear which keeps the car
out of trouble in the first
instance.
Everything about the DS4
Crossback is just a little bit
unusual, the interior design
is extremely practical and
functional, but it is different
in its own special way.
Add into the equation
the bold, sweeping exterior
style, the result is a car that
stands out with its individuality.
That being the case,
the DS4 Crossback makes a
real statement on the road;
it’s just as well, then, that
it has the goods to go with
the looks.
PLUSH:
The
Crossback
has a high
level of
fitment.

Z & S Croft and J K Williams request to rezone Rural (Inner Plains) land to Living
3 at the corner of Lincoln Tai Tapu Road and Hauschilds Road, Tai Tapu,
Clause 5 of the First Schedule, Resource Management Act 1991.
Private Plan Change 49 (PC 49) proposes to change the Selwyn District Plan
(Maps and Plan Text) to rezone two properties that are 8.1 hectares in size
collectively from an existing Rural (Inner Plains) Zone to Living 3 to facilitate the
subdivision and development of approximately 16 rural residential households.
The subject land is located on the western boundary of Tai Tapu on Lincoln Tai
Tapu Road (Lot 1 DP 436571 certificate of title 537135) and Hauschilds Road
(Lot 2 DP 436571 certificate of title 537136). PC 49 proposes the following
amendments to the Selwyn District Plan:
· amend the district planning maps to rezone the subject land from Rural Inner
Plains to a Living 3 zone
· incorporate an outline development plan to coordinate and guide the future
development of the site
· propose site specific rules to manage flood risk, waste water and internal
roading arrangements
· incorporates land use rules and subdivision assessment matters to manage
the effects of any future development on the site in accordance with the
proposed amendments to the Living 3 zone provisions.
The plan change request and the assessment of why it is needed can be read at
Council’s Rolleston Headquarters, or viewed online at service centres and public
libraries in Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and Rolleston and at www.selwyn.govt.nz

Extending
outdoor living
Rain and wind-proofing an outdoor space adds value
to a property. With a roof or clear vinyl sides, your
buyers can see an area where rain doesn’t stop play.
Thanks to blitz advertising, most
Kiwis have heard the name Archgola.
The company and others like it can add
canopies to decks, enclosing the space for
year-round use.
Undercover verandas, pergolas and
gazebos can be turned into living space by
adding side panels, which effectively create
a conservatory. Restaurants often use these
spaces, so there’s no reason why home
owners can’t as well.
Roll-down clear vinyl blinds are a
popular choice, which, if you’re lucky,
can be bought ready made from hardware
stores such as Bunnings and Mitre10. If
not, there are plenty of companies that will
custom manufacture to fit. Usually these
blinds zip into place and are stored using a
rope-and-pulley system.
Mounting your blinds is very simple.
Typically it involves screwing the
mountings into wood or installing a track
then fitting the blind.
Other options include roll-up shade
cloths or other gazebo or veranda sides,
such as canvas. These aren’t as windproof
as the vinyl blinds, meaning they’re not a
12-month solution.
If you don’t already have an outdoor
living space, building a pergola doesn’t
generally need planning permission..
Provided the pergola is less than 10 sq
m in size, it is usually okay to add a roof.
But a quick call to the council is a good
idea; never risk building an unpermitted
structure.
Another option for quick and easy rain
and windproof outdoor living is a pop-up
gazebo. These can be turned into dining
areas to give buyers a glimpse of what they
could do themselves.
It’s important to dress them so it doesn’t
look like you’ve just plonked a gazebo on
the lawn. Lights, plants, furniture and even
place settings can really give a gazebo the
Pinterest touch and bring it to life as an
outdoor entertaining hub for the home.
The more you pay for pop-up gazebos,
the better UV protection of the fabric and
powder coating of the steel you get.
Heating the outdoor space also makes it
more usable. The cheap option is a patio
heater. Permanent gas, wood or pellet
fireplaces and fire pits are easier on the
eye and can make a design statement, allimportant
when selling a home.
For wind protection, it’s reasonably
simple to erect trellis and staple brush
sides to it or the existing fence.
Bamboo is particularly good for this
purpose, especially if you have access to a
free source - although you could also buy
it at all good hardware stores.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Landscaping and house
design go together
When looking at house designs, think about outdoor living and how
the home will sit on your chosen section, along with the practicality of
indoor/outdoor flow for you and your family.
Often landscaping is down the list and while
we may note where sliders are on a house plan we
may think no further, yet planning helps ensure
there is really functional outdoor space.
If gardening is not your thing, your landscaping
may no more than one or two patio areas, a few
plants in pots then lawn with some trees and
shrubs. For those who like gardening, positioning
of garden beds will also be a factor.
Sub-divisions usually have covenants requiring
that a house and landscape plan (of any area
visible to the street) is submitted for approval,
before construction of the home begins.
Plan outdoor living spaces for functionality.
Identifying plant species on this plan may not be
necessary with just an indication of number of
plants along with their heights and widths needed.
A landscape designer may provide you with plant
details or you might consult a nursery who will
recommend suitable plants.
Minimalism is currently fashionable with
grouping of evergreen shrubs and in larger spaces
one or two trees to create effect. Natives are
popular but consider also Rhododendrons and
Camellias that while being slower growers, do put
on a stunning display of colour in spring.
If you want a little more interest in your garden,
you might include a water feature, pergola or
additional fencing within the property itself. The
latter two have the added advantage of providing
shelter from wind and sun. Look at how the
dimensions of each house plan fits within your
chosen piece of dirt, to see where such features
might be positioned and whether it is workable.
Planning your outdoor space early will also
mean that you can have any pre-wiring for outside
lighting undertaken by the electrician when the
house is constructed, saving dollars and making
it easier as the cables will be laid at a safe depth
(a legal requirement) and ready for the later
construction.
In relation to hard surfaces, while driveways,
paths and concrete patios are regularly planned
as part of the build, other outdoor concrete areas
may not be considered. If you do have an idea
of additional parking areas to be concreted for
a caravan or boat or other hard surfaces you
would like, it may save on the budget by having
this completed when the workmen are on the job
rather than them having to come back at some
point in the future. It also gets these jobs done.
While the budget may be a factor in
determining how many of your landscaping ideas
are put into practice at the time of the build,
having a plan in mind and costing for it is a good
idea. It could save dollars down the track so talk to
your builder, electrician and landscape designer.
You may also like to put some ideas down on
paper as a starting point.
Planning helps ensure there are functional outdoor spaces.
Sub-division covenants require approval of house and
landscape plans.
Consider how the dimensions of each house plan against fits
with your chosen section.

Fix those
minor defects
Start out front, cleaning, clearing and
decluttering the yard to make a good
impression on buyers.
It’s a rare house that doesn’t have defects.
Even newly renovated ones can have
features that detract for buyers. But there
are ways for sellers to deflect attention
from them without pretending they’re not
there. The three main ways of dealing with
defects are:
1. Fix them.
2. Draw the eye away from them.
3. Use them as a selling point.
Simple defects can be fixed easily. Start
out front. Overgrown bushes can be
trimmed, or replaced with a few matching
plants, old fences and front doors can be
painted or stained, and the paths cleaned.
Do this even if a property is a do-up.
You want to give the impression that
buyers can move into the house and chip
away at the work in their own time
If you have time and money, paint sills
and eaves using accents.
Inside, the first thing buyers see is the
hallway, which can be brightened up with
a lick of paint. The neutral paint trick can
also be used to paint over dated wallpaper,
completely changing the look and feel of a
tired house.
Bathrooms and kitchens are important to
buyers, and the eye settles on vanities and
benches. These can be resurfaced relatively
quickly to give a modern look.
If the seller can’t repaint or tile the
bathroom bring in high quality matching
towels, which become a feature in the
room and draw the eye from the less than
desirable walls and features. Nice vases and
flowers will do the same.
Replacing handles and knobs to draw
attention away from the units themselves.
This reduces the number of “I have to do
this” thoughts in potential buyers’ minds.
Drawing the eye away from a multitude
of sins is exactly the thing to do.
If you see an empty house the eye always
goes to marks on the carpet and walls and
this will lower the price expectation.”
Drawing the eye to the furniture and
furnishings, creates better flow, and de
cluttering makes buyers feel the home
would be a nice place to live in.
The other way to handle the property’s
defects is to raise them with the buyer
before they see them.
If the carpet is bad, for example, you
can say: “Hey, they were going to replace
the carpet but they decided to leave it to
you to choose a new carpet and priced it
accordingly.”
Finally, good old fashioned elbow grease
is essential in all properties to remove
those sins that are simply cleanable.
