Countdown to big rock concert

• By Tom Doudney

THE LINCOLN Domain is

about to be transformed from

a sleepy sports and recreation

ground to rock ’n’ roll showpiece.

With Selwyn’s biggest ever

music festival just around the

corner on March 4, preparation

will begin on Monday, almost a

week before the first band takes

the stage.

The show features big name

Kiwi acts, including Mi-Sex,

Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band,

Annie Crummer, Margaret

Urlich, Debbie Harwood, Sharon

O’Neill and Jason Kerrison, as

well as many other artists.

Promoter David Parlane said

bringing everything together for

the day was a bit like organising

an army.

“You’ve got to get everybody in

at the right time and in the right

spot.”

The first trucks will roll in on

Monday, putting the 20m by 15m

wide stage in place, with more

work on fully assembling it and

putting up the marquees to take

place over the next two days.

About 1km of fencing, 70

portaloos, 24 urinals and four

6.1m beverage chillers will also

be installed at the ground during

the week.

There will be 28 food vendors,

more than 125 festival staff and

of course 62 artists on stage.

“We hope to be in concertprepared

mode by about 8am on

the Friday morning so if there is

anything that needs to be fixed

we have got all day to figure it

out,” Mr Parlane said.

The first big name artist expected

to arrive in Lincoln will

be Kerrison on March 2, with

most of the others getting in on

March 3.

The ground has capacity for

10,000 people. Mr Parlane said

ticket sales had been strong but

there were still some available

from Ticketek.

While special bus passes

between Christchurch and the

show were almost sold out, there

is a plan to increase the number

of public buses on the day.

DESK News...............................3, 7, 10

HATS OFF to all of the Selwyn

fire fighters who fought last

week’s savage Port Hills blaze.

They did a fantastic job against

extreme odds, and their magnificent

efforts almost certainly

saved many more properties

from being destroyed.

If the fire had not been

stopped on top of the Cashmere

Hills, who knows what carnage

it could have caused if it was able

to sweep down into Westmorland

and beyond.

The flammable materials

and vehicles (with petrol) in

residential areas, combined with

tinder dry vegetation, would

have turned the blaze into an

unimaginable fire storm.

We cover their deeds on pages

4-5 today, but the message from

last week’s fires is that we have

to be super careful for the rest of

the summer.

Concern over future

nine bands.

use of Weedons motel site

• By Tom Doudney

A FORMER motel’s planned

transformation into social

housing has Weedons residents

feeling uneasy.

The Salvation Army plans to

use the former Blue Gum Lodge

Motel, on State Highway 1 north

of Rolleston, to accommodate

people on the Ministry of Social

Development’s social housing

register.

An anonymous flyer recently

distributed to Weedons residents

had suggested the motel

was going to be used as a halfway

house for recently-released

prisoners. Salvation Army social

housing national director Greg

Foster said this was false but

an administrative office for its

post-prison reintegration service

would also be based on the site.

The motel closed in August

2015 because some of its land

was needed for the Southern

Motorway extension. It was

bought by the New Zealand

Transport Authority which is in

discussions with the Salvation

Army on a contract to lease the

property.

In spite of the assurances that

CLOSED: The Blue Gum Lodge Motel was sold to the New

Zealand Transport Authority because it was needed for the

Southern Motorway extension.

Greg Foster Gary Doyle

it wouldn’t be a halfway house,

locals who spoke to the Selwyn

Times were still uneasy about

the prospect of social housing

on the site.

Weedons resident Gary Doyle

said he wanted more information

about plans for the site and

what sort of tenants would be

housed there.

“Some of the people they get

in some of their houses have

an interesting background,” he

said.

Another Weedons resident,

who declined to be named, said

he also had questions about

what type of tenants would be

accommodated.

“Are they getting put out here

because they are not suitable for

elsewhere or is it just simply because

of the housing shortage?”

He was concerned about a potential

increase in crime in the

one day.

www.selwynsounds.co.nz

area and also whether opening

social housing, in conjunction

with increased commercial

development in the area, would

have an effect on residents’

house values.

Mr Foster said the Salvation

Army hoped to provide housing

on the site as soon as negotiations

were complete, expected

to be some time in the next few

months.

“We started consultation with

the Selwyn District Council and

with the Selwyn Community

Care Network in November and

discussions with both are ongoing,”

he said.

The initial plan was to house

seven single people in the available

units. There would be a

manager on site 24 hours a day.

Salvation Army Corps Officer

Lieutenant Nathan Holt would

also be visiting the site regularly

to support tenants.

“He’s happy to talk to anyone

in the community who has further

questions,” Mr Foster said.

•HAVE YOUR SAY: What do

you think about the former

Blue Gum Lodge Motel being

used for social housing?

Live in Lincoln

In Brief

ALLEGED SHOPLIFTER

Keen observation by shop staff

and quick action by police resulted

in an alleged serial shoplifter

being arrested at The Warehouse

Rolleston on Thursday. A staff

member at nearby Rolleston

Hammer Hardware observed a

woman acting suspiciously in

the store before heading towards

The Warehouse and called

police. Police and security at The

Warehouse used security cameras

to observe the woman allegedly

smuggle clothing out of the store

and she was apprehended just

outside. The Christchurch woman,

43, has been charged with this and

three other instances of alleged

shoplifting at The Warehouse

Eastgate between December and

this month. She will appear in

court on March 31.

SWIMMABLE SELWYN

A workshop to progress a campaign

to make the Selwyn River

swimmable again at Coes Ford will

be held at the Lincoln Event Centre

at 4pm tomorrow. The Selwyn

Waihora Zone Committee agreed

to take on the Swimmable Selwyn

@ Coes Ford campaign last year.

The purpose of this workshop is to

identify what is already being done

to improve the river at Coes Ford.

A couple of Hearing HEAR

S

Dawn and George Prattley are my HEARING

HEARO’s!! They are such a wonderful couple.

I loved meeting them and helping them hear

better. The lovely part about audiology is

that when someone chooses to come into

the clinic, that is just the beginning of a long

relationship. Hearing changes over time and

I am happy that our paths will continue to

cross for years to come.

Dawn had been having complications from

Meniere’s Disease effecting her right ear

since 2013. The condition worsened and

in January last year her specialist

needed to do a intratympanic

Gentamycin injection into

her right ear drum. While

this would help Dawn in

many ways, the downside of

this treatment was that

she would be deaf in

that ear. He warned

her that hearing

aids would be highly

unlikely to assist her.

“In May, my GP suggested that I go and see

Brenna, to have a hearing test and get her

opinion and advice,” says Dawn. “After the

testing, Brenna put some hearing aids in and

tuned them to my hearing (or lack thereof).”

“Instantly I noticed the difference to the

sounds I was hearing. I left Brenna’s clinic

that day knowing that hearing aids would

help me. That was a great feeling!”

“I thought about it for a week and then said

to my husband George that is was no use

me getting my hearing sorted if he didn’t….

because he would still need to turn the TV

up too loud if he didn’t get hearing aids too!

George agreed and now we are both wired for

sound.”

“Brenna is lovely, gentle and patient. She answered

all of our questions and did not push

us into buying hearing aids. It was such a positive

experience.” “If you have hearing aids in

a draw and don’t wear them or you need a

hearing test, I would highly recommend that

you go and see Brenna!”

“Now I can hear birds singing and it is so

much easier to simply have a conversation,”

says Dawn. “

Port Hills fire

SELWYN TIMES

Great job guys!

WELL EARNED: Lincoln firefighters (from left), Kyle Steans, Josh

Nelson, Paul Barbet, Gavin Lack and Ollie Rutland-Sims enjoy a

lunch of baked potatoes and American hotdogs after returning

to the station for a rest on Thursday.

STANDING THEIR GROUND: Rolleston firefighters protecting

houses on Kennedys Bush Rd.

• By Tom Doudney

SELWYN FIRE chiefs have paid

tribute to their crews who spent

much of last week battling the fires

which tore across the Port Hills.

Brigades from across Selwyn

were involved with fighting the

fires which burned through

2075ha, destroyed nine houses

and damaged two more.

Lincoln fire chief Jeremy

Greenwood said he was extremely

proud of what his crews

had done since being one of the

first brigades in action when the

initial fire broke out on Early

Valley Rd on Monday last week.

“The guys have just worked

tirelessly, just worked and

worked and worked, without

once questioning the workload,”

Mr Greenwood said.

“We had guys who would be

working at night, they would get

a few hours sleep and then be returning

to their day jobs as well.”

Mr Greenwood said Lincoln

crews had been doing tough six

to eight hours rotating shifts.

“It’s tough terrain, a lot of hill

work and a lot of carting gear up

and down hills and a lot of physically

demanding work,” he said.

“It takes a toll and that’s why

we were very mindful of the importance

of rotating those crews.”

HARD YARDS DONE: Lincoln firefighters (from left), Ollie

Rutland-Sims, Josh Nelson, Ange Hooper, Gavin Lack and

Kyle Steans still in high spirits heading back to their station

after a long day and a variety of missions on Thursday.

Rolleston fire chief Nigel Lilley

echoed Mr Greenwood’s praise

when talking about how his firefighters

had performed their duty.

“I’m just so proud of how

professional and willing they

were to give their time, for free

as always, in these extreme circumstances,”

he said.

Crews had to retreat several

times when the risk to them

became too high.

“Safety comes first but there is

still always imminent danger,”

Mr Lilley said.

Both chiefs also thanked the

families and employers who had

been understanding of firefighters

having to leave their jobs and

homes for many hours; and the

businesses and members of the

public who gave food, refreshments

and messages of support to

firefighters during the operation.

Mr Greenwood said it was

overwhelming to know they had

that level of support.

“We don’t expect anything at

all, it’s what we do, what we have

been trained for, and we don’t

expect that but it’s extremely appreciated,”

he said.

Student vet’s South African safari

ROLLESTON veterinary student

Heather Neill plans to put her

training to good use, working

with wildlife in South Africa in

June and July.

Ms Neill, 20, is in her

third year of study at Massey

University, has been given

the chance to take part in a

two week-long volunteering

programme for veterinary

students in one of the more

disadvantaged areas.

The Safari4U Veterinary

Programme will see her working

with large and small, domestic

and wild animals as she helps

to treat some of those which

would otherwise be without

care.

She will also be involved in

educating the locals about animal

care.

Ms Neill said that while there

were a large number of worthy

charities providing aid to people

in impoverished regions of

African countries, she felt that

animals in the region were often

overlooked.

“I’m super excited for the

opportunity to make a

difference in a community

which otherwise would probably

remain relatively disadvantaged,”

she said.

“I want to do what little I can

to learn and gain new skills so

I can be more helpful in the

future.”

Taking part in the programme

will cost her more than $6000

and she has created a Givealittle

page to take donations.

Ms Neill said the ability to get

hands-on experience in this field

within New Zealand was limited,

although she tried to take every

opportunity she got.

Her desire to help people and

animals and the fact she liked

problem solving were factors in

her decision to become a vet.

She has a cat called Winston

and has recently been elected secretary

of the Massey University

Wildlife and Conservation Club

for this year.

•Anyone wishing to donate

money to help Ms Neill

take part in the programme

can do so via https://

“I really am so happy here.”

When Bev found out she was able to bring her

mini schnauzer Molly to her Summerset retirement

village, she was thrilled.

“Molly is very important to me, I wouldn’t have

wanted to make the move without her.”

After being at Summerset for only a few months, Bev

was surprised at how quickly she settled into village

life. She really likes the feeling that she’s secure and

that help is always at hand should

she need it.

Your Local Views

Are you prepared for a disaster?

Deputy mayor

Malcolm

Lyall writes

about disaster

preparedness

in light of the

Port Hills fires

Are you ready?

As I write this we are approaching

the anniversary of the

2011 quake, while 15 aircraft and

150 firefighters are working to

extinguish the Port Hills fire.

I am asking you ‘are you prepared

if disaster strikes? Do you

have an emergency kit? Is it up

to date? And are you registered

with Selwyn Gets Ready?’

The district council uses a

community response model

across the district to meet the

civil defence needs of our

communities. It’s about understanding

our hazards and being

organised and ready to look after

each other in an emergency.

The model is based on

neighbourhood support groups.

Street/road co-ordinators are

responsible for checking on their

neighbourhood and reporting

back to a locally based community

response team. This team’s

role is to co-ordinate the local

response and communicate directly

with the district council’s

emergency operations centre.

The district council also feeds

information back to the community

in the same way.

That is where Selwyn Gets

Ready comes in. I would like

every household in Selwyn to

join our emergency management/neighbourhood

support

website selwyn.getsready.net

This is a website where you

can securely record your contact

details and any special needs,

resources and skills that your

household has, so your neighbourhood

is better able to take

care of itself in an emergency.

By joining Selwyn Gets Ready

you can receive emergency

messages that affect your family

like boil water notices, warning

about uncontrolled fires nearby

week’s fire.

and police messages about local

active burglars, from the district

council’s emergency management

team.

With this latest emergency,

many residents from Selwyn and

neighbouring Christchurch have

joined to be able to get updates

and welfare information. By

joining we are strengthening our

communities resilience, we all

benefit.

The past few days have seen

a huge effort from our civil defence

and rural fire teams. Our

local communities have helped

feed and refresh the men and

women fighting the fires and

many staff and volunteers have

kept the back room operations

running.

Thank you all, you are what

makes Selwyn sensational.

Andrew McGee, of Darfield,

responds to news the

district council will seek

Darfield and Kirwee

residents’ views on whether

a reticulated sewer network

should be installed in the

area

Looking back

SELWYN TIMES

I am not interested at all in

a reticulated sewer scheme as

a ratepayer and resident of the

town of Darfield.

I would like to voice my

opposition to this.

At that price, $23,700 per

household, count me out.

News

Plea to help school restore river

A crowdfunding campaign

to restore native vegetation

along a 200m section of the

Halswell/Huritini River needs

a final boost to hit its target.

Te Ara Kakariki Canterbury

Greenway Trust is aiming to

raise $9000 for Ladbrooks

School children to restore a

place by the river known as

Stackwoods Bend.

The trust’s mission is to

bring pockets of native plants

back to Selwyn between the

mountains and the sea. Part of

its work also involves educating

young people about native

plants and their ecological significance

through school field

trips known as Kids Discovery

Plantout days.

The crowdfunding campaign,

a first for the trust, has

raised $8203 since December.

It has been run with the support

of the Million Metres

streams project.

Te Ara Kakariki co-ordinator

Elizabeth Guthrey said

the trust was thankful for the

support it had received so far.

“It will go to a great cause.

The kids love Discovery Plantout

days and the plantings

will contribute to a healthier

river and sorely needed habitat

for native birds,” she said.

Million Metres matched

funding for the first $2000 in

individual donations, and the

Kingswood Skis company has

recently joined the cause by

committing to funding a metre

of planting for every pair

of skis sold before March 1.

Kingswood Skis director

Kris Herbert said healthy

waterways were important to

everyone who loved spending

time in the outdoors.

“Skiing powder, catching a

wave or jumping into a fresh

blue swimming hole – these

are all part of a lifestyle that

makes the most of our beautiful

country,” he said.

“You can’t help but want to

protect these places when you

spend time in them. We’ve

signed online petitions and

grumbled over recent reports

that 62 per cent of lowland

rivers are unswimmable, but

this project is actually doing

something about it.”

NATURE: The

Stackwoods Bend

section of the Halswell/

Huritini River is the site

of a planned restoration

programme. Kids

Discovery Plantout

facilitator Lou Drage

and Ladbrooks School

pupils learn about the

river’s native plants

and their ecological

significance.

If more than $9000 is raised,

more trees will be planted.

anyone looking at building to

compare pricing options, choose

where they want to spend their

money, and make priorities. Because

Selwyn Sounds

Hear tracks from new Mi-Sex album live

• By Tom Doudney

IF KIWI rock heavyweights

Mi-Sex needed any validation

for their decision to record their

first new album in 33 years, the

live crowds’ reaction gave it to

them.

The band’s fith album Not

From Here was released in September

with vocalist Steve Balbi

replacing original singer Steve

Gilpin, who died in 1991.

Mi-Sex will co-headline the

Selwyn Sounds concert in Lincoln

on March 4 with Dragon.

Other big acts will include The

Jordan Luck Band, Annie Crummer,

Margaret Urlich, Debbie

Harwood, Sharon O’Neill and

Jason Kerrison.

Keyboardist Murray Burns

said the band had been playing a

mix of old and new material on

their recent North Island tour

with The Feelers and Dragon.

“You could tell that some of

the younger members of the

crowd knew a few of our songs

like Computer Games and Blue

Day but they didn’t really know

the other ones,” Burns said.

“What was very rewarding

for us was that an audience that

weren’t really familiar with our

old and new material responded

in some ways stronger to our

newer stuff than our older stuff.

That made the whole experience

of recording new songs feel really

worthwhile to us.”

Ater so long without writing

music together, Burns found

working on new material to be

surprisingly easy.

“To jump in a room with

someone you have never written

a song with, with Steve Balbi,

was an amazing experience. Steve

is a fantastic songwriter and

lyricist and the basic embryos of

those songs came together in a

matter of minutes.”

Burns said the band had been

having a great time since they

started touring again in 2011.

“We are treating Mi-Sex more

as an experience again ater 30

years of not playing,” he said.

“We are not feeling that we are

going to go out and conquer the

world, we are not 21-years-old

any more, but we are having a

really good time playing and we

also had a really good time making

this record.”

When they’re not touring, the

band members live far apart – in

Christchurch, Auckland, Sydney

and, in Burns’ case, Byron Bay,

New South Wales.

“We decide on set lists and

things like that when we meet at

airports quite oten,” he said.

Burns produces music for

young bands from his own studio

but aside from that, doesn’t

listen to much new music.

“I live in the countryside and I

quite enjoy just the empty space

because music is a big part of my

life. I will be in the studio today

mixing for five or six hours and

when I come out of the studio

I mostly drive around with the

windows down and don’t listen

to much music,” he said.

“I listen to the birds in the

trees, actually, and the wind.”

THEY’RE BACK:

Mi-Sex are

touring again

after putting out

their first new

album in 33

years. The band

say recording

material with

new singer Steve

Balbi (below, far

left), was an easy

process.

•Selwyn Sounds will

be held on March 4,

from 11.30am-8.30pm. Tickets

can be purchased via

Ticketek and buyers will be

able to pre-purchase a return

bus ride between pickup

points in Christchurch

or Rolleston and Lincoln

Domain.

SELWYN TIMES

Reduce waste and

save money

In March, the Council is sponsoring two local workshops where you can find out how to reduce

waste and save money when cooking, shopping, and caring for your family.

New Zealand Mum Kate Meads will host the workshops at Rolleston on Saturday 4 March.

Kate brings her own experience with a young baby to the workshop. “We filled our wheelie bin

every week with nappies, food waste, packaging and general household waste,” says Kate. “We

bulk purchased fresh foods and threw loads of it out. We became reliant on disposable products

to save us time but ended up working longer hours to afford a disposable lifestyle.”

Kate realised that eventually her son and grandchildren would have a huge mess to tidy up and

decided to change her habits.

Kate will hold a ‘Food Lover’s Masterclass’ workshop at Rolleston Community Centre on Saturday

4 March from 6-8pm. She will give advice on meal planning, smart shopping and food storage

and use. An average New Zealand household throws out about $563 of food every year, and Kate

will talk about how you can stop wasting money and creating unnecessary waste. The workshop

costs $25 per ticket and you will receive a goodie bag valued at $100 which includes handy

items for minimising waste such as reusable, dishwasher safe food pouches and lunch wrap

alternatives. Bookings are required – to book visit www.wastefreeparenting.co.nz.

Kate will also run a waste free parenting workshop on Saturday 4 March at Rolleston Community

Centre from 10am-12.30pm. The workshop will cover ways to reduce waste in your home, save

money and introduce you to some sustainable household products. Tickets are $25 per person or

$25 per couple, and you receive a goodie bag valued at $100 which includes reusable cloth nappy

samples and other items to minimise waste with babies or young children. To find out more and

book visit www.wastefreeparenting.co.nz. Parents are welcome to bring their children with them.

On the roads this week

Road repairs are planned on Telegraph, Weedons Ross and Leaches Roads, with traffic controls

operating. Road resurfacing is planned on Newtons and Coal Track Roads, with stop/go controls

operating. Footpath repairs are planned on Hasendene Place in Lincoln.

During this week, road surface repairs will occur on

Springston Rolleston Road. Between Broadlands Drive

and Selwyn Road the road will be closed overnight from

7pm until 6am during this period, but open to traffic

during the daytime. During the daytime drivers will need

to reduce speed, and overnight a detour will operate via

Goulds, East Maddisons and Selwyn Road and Selwyn

and Lincoln Rolleston and Lowes Roads.

The new roundabout at the intersection of Kidman,

Byron and Tennyson Streets (right) is now open to traffic.

A small area of footpath on the north west corner is to

be completed following removal of Telecom pillars and

relocation of the boundary fence.

Ongoing works

Work is continuing on the Masefield Drive upgrade with kerb and channel being poured and a new footpath

being constructed. Temporary traffic management is in place – please take care past the work site.

Manse Road roading and stormwater improvement continues. East Maddisons Road is open to

traffic one way only between Ellington Mews and Goulds Road for sewer installation work. Road

reconstruction continues on Gerald Street (between Springs Road and Vernon Drive), with traffic

controls operating.

Christchurch Southern Motorway extension

The passing lane on Main South Road between Rolleston and Weedens Road will be closed from

Monday 20 February for works related to the Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 2. Trents Road,

between the corner of Blakes Road and 150 Trents Road, is also closed to through traffic, with a detour

operating via Blakes Road and Shands Road.

The closure previously on Weedons Road will be reinstated from Monday 20 February for up to two

weeks. There is no access to Main South Road from Levi Road with a one way system in place.

Port Hills fire information

Fire fighting crews, helicopter and aircraft are continuing to work on

the fire (which started in the Lansdowne area in Selwyn) this week

dampening down hot spots. There remains a risk that changing

weather conditions could cause hot spots to flare up. Thermal

scanning is continuing from the air to help identify hot spots. There

is also heavy machinery being used to create fire breaks around the

perimeter and fell trees. Please continue to stay away from the fire

area as it is still extremely hazardous.

A State of Emergency remains in place in Selwyn and Christchurch.

A total fire ban remains in place until further notice in Selwyn and

includes a ban on all stubble fires.

Christchurch City Council has closed recreation areas of the Port

Hills to the public due to ongoing safety risk. Restricted zones are

for all tracks and open areas in the Port Hills, including Victoria

Park and the Rapaki, Mt Vernon and Huntsbury tracks. Signage is

in place. The restrictions are likely to be in place for several weeks.

Updates on road cordons will be posted on newsline (see below).

A Selwyn Civil Defence recovery team has been established to help

residents with any issues they have due to the fire. The team can be

contacted at recovery@selwyn.govt.nz If you need welfare assistance

please contact 027 556 5748 or email welfare@selwyn.govt.nz

For the latest updates and information on the Port Hills fires see

www.ccc.govt.nz/newsline or follow ‘Christchurch Civil Defence

Emergency Management’ or ‘Selwyn District Council’ on Facebook.

We want to thank the fire fighters and emergency services for their

continued efforts in fighting the fire and thank the community for

their ongoing support.

Praying mantis lurking in Lincoln

Mike Bowie is

an ecologist

who specialises

in entomology

(insects

and other

invertebrates). Each

week he will introduce a

new species found in his

backyard at Lincoln. His

weekly column aims to

raise public awareness of

the variety of living things

around us

THE NEW Zealand praying

mantis (orthodera novaezealandiae)

is a predator that

catches its prey by ambush.

By blending in with its green

surroundings, mantids catch

their unsuspecting prey, such

as flies, by firing their highly

adapted front legs at lightning

speed.

They are distinguished from

the exotic South African praying

mantis by the presence of

a blue/purple circular patch on

the inside of their front legs.

Their egg cases, or oothecae,

are often stuck to fences,

houses or trees exposed to the

sun to aid hatching. Egg cases

are usually 1-2cm long and

are laid in autumn and over

winter until the accumulated

temperature in spring is sufficient

to make the nymphs

hatch.

The nymphs emerge from

the egg case (above left) as the

white waxy seal that protects

the developing nymphs is no

longer visible.

Usually one, but sometimes

two nymphs emerge out of

each hole of the ootheca.

Once the nymphs have all

hatched (by mid-summer),

it is safe to remove these egg

cases from your house, as the

mantids will be busy catching

flies and the like.

NEXT GENERATION: Praying mantis egg

cases can often be found stuck to fences,

houses or trees exposed to the sun.

They are very susceptible to

insecticides so it is best to keep

spraying to a minimum, if at

all.

SELWYN TIMES

• By Tom Doudney

TOUGH TOIL in the field and

positive, aggressive cricket

earned maximum points for

both Greendale and Sefton in the

third round of the CRV Ambreed

Country Premier two-day cricket

competition.

Greendale started their second

innings, on Saturday, one run

behind Leeston-Southbridge on

the first innings.

Riley Wilson’s score of 47, and

38 from Tig Dalley saw them

through to 150 which set the

combined side exactly 150 to

win.

But they never challenged the

total. Regan Dalley and Haigh

Jebson both bowled superbly,

each snaring three wickets

and earning Greendale a welldeserved

61-run victory.

Sefton, having declared at

347/5 at the end of day one with

a lead of 226, spent a long day

toiling in the field against South

Malvern.

The North Canterbury side

snared two early wickets but

South Malvern batted well to

recover to 192/6 at lunch, with

Mike Pauling and James Ferris

each compiling 70s.

SPORTS

Maximum points for

Greendale and Sefton

Jeff Chapman and Will Wright

came out after lunch and scored

freely putting South Malvern

ahead and assuring Sefton would

have to bat again.

Chapman continued scoring

freely against the tiring Sefton

attack before being removed for

87.

Matt Rowe toiled away all day

bowling 18.3 overs and claiming

4/107.

South Malvern decided to

make a game of it and push for

an unlikely outright win and

declared after 78.3 overs, with an

hour of play still to go and 132

runs ahead. Sixteen overs had to

be bowled before the end of play.

Sefton launched at the target,

with Matt Laffey scoring a quickfire

45.

South Malvern took three

quick wickets and had a sniff of

a win before Pat Croker came to

the crease.

Croker’s lofty hitting took the

game away from South Malvern,

belting 48 before departing just

six runs from victory.

Sefton won the match with an

over to spare.

Day two of the Lincoln v Oxford

and Weedons v Southbrook

matches were washed out.

Thrilling final day likely

HALSWELL ARE hoping for

crucial first innings points

against Heathcote with their

two-day match and chances of

winning the competition in the

balance.

Top of the table Halswell

travelled to Heathcote for their

match against the second placed

side on Saturday.

Heathcote won the toss and

batted first after a delayed start

due to morning rain.

Whichever side finished ahead

after the first innings would secure

two competition points and

with the delayed start, this could

be important with less chance of

an outright result.

Halswell took a wicket in the

first over, and then again in the

seventh over to have Heathcote

wobbling at 25/2.

However, Heathcote then produced

a 100-run partnership to

put them on the front foot with

the score 125/2 and 23 overs left

in the first innings.

Halswell worked hard and after

the 50 overs were up, Heathcote

had scored 256/6 with Matt

Mealings finishing on 120 not

out.

Halswell got off to a flyer with

Geoff Barclay smashing five sixes

before he departed on 43.

Captain Leighton Johnston

(30) and Matt McClintock (22)

took them to 100/1 before both

batsmen got themselves out. At

110/4 Matt Parr started to rebuild

the Halswell innings.

At the end of the day Halswell

were 149-4 after 34 overs, needing

107 runs from 16 overs for

crucial first innings points.

Halswell have some firepower

still to bat but much will depend

on the experience of Parr to get

them over the line.

Johnston said Halswell still

felt confident of pushing on and

walking away with the outright

points in what should be a good

finish next Saturday.

There are two rounds left in the

competition after this match is

completed.

a recipe for Keeping

dogs Healthy

Mastiff breeder and passionate animal

lover Philippa Hanley knows from personal

experience what dogs need to stay healthy

and active – good nutrition. Having realised

that supermarket dog rolls were not providing

her dogs with sufficient nutritional content,

and were not satisfying their hunger either,

eight years ago Philippa decided to start

making her own.

“I took a standard dog roll recipe and made

a meat loaf. I replaced the fillers that are in

supermarket dog rolls with ‘super foods’,”

Philippa says.

These included hemp oil, milk powder, organic

vitamins and minerals and amino acids, all

of which added to the nutritional benefits

provided by the human-grade meat Philippa

used to make the rolls.

Initially feeding her own dogs and supplying

friends with the product, Philippa soon saw

demand growing as people noticed their

dogs’ health and energy improving, and after

having her product nutritionally tested at

Massey University she launched it on to the

market.

Based in Geraldine, Philippa first had the

product made by the local Temuka butcher,

but when demand outstripped the butcher’s

ability to supply, the manufacturing was

passed to Silver Fern Farms.

The meat used in the rolls is mainly lamb,

sometimes venison, plus the nutritionally rich

organ meats from lamb, with no fillers used –

and the dogs love it, says Philippa.

Customers can purchase the dog rolls online

at www.animalessentials.co.nz. They are

available as four-roll packs – 10kg, or eight-roll

packs – 20kg, and they are supplied in 100

per cent recyclable poly bins, ensuring they

are kept cool and fresh until use.

“For a 30kg dog, the cost to feed it is only

$1.20 a day, that’s because the dogs stay full

and don’t feel hungry a couple of hours later,”

says Philippa.

While it is a totally professional operation,

the production of Essentials dog rolls has a

charitable end result, with a large proportion

of the sale proceeds being donated to charity,

such as Canterbury Dog Rescue. Philippa also

supplies product to Dog Watch in Bromley,

Christchurch and the Ashburton SPCA.

With her love for animals and concern for their

welfare, Philippa is also very involved in animal

rescue and the support of free castration to

help prevent dog attacks.

Human-grade meat and no fillers

ensure the dog rolls keep dogs full

SUNDAY SAW a good

number of entries into

the Ellesmere Champion

of Champion bowls fours

at Southbridge, with six

teams in the men’s section

and five in the ladies.

The winners were the

Lincoln men’s side and the

Leeston ladies’ side.

The men’s trophy was

first presented 100 years

ago.

The Lincoln team

skipped by replacement

Lynton Withell were kept

close by Tai Tapu in the

early play. After seven ends

they were 7-all.

This was even after four

killed ends. Neither skip

were letting it go. The

experience of Withell over

Tai Tapu’s Daniel Harris

would be a factor in the

winning of the game 20-9

after 15 ends.

Earlier in the semi finals,

Lincoln had beaten Leeston

16-9 and Tai Tapu beat

Diamond Harbour 17-8.

The Lincoln team consisted

of Withell, David

Pugh-Williams, Graham

Thiele and Merv Austin.

and Leeston ladies

Lincoln stumbled against

In the final, Leeston

However, consistent

bowling by the Leeston

ladies got them over the

line going into the last end

18-12.

Maintaining a

community feel

in the Selwyn District

Lincoln’s strong agricultural connection began with

it servicing farming. In 1878, Lincoln College was

established and the village, as it is fondly called,

gained world recognition as a rural university town.

For more than 100 years, the town

experienced limited population growth,

with little land developed for housing.

After the Christchurch earthquakes,

more land was opened up and Lincoln’s

population increased significantly

with sub-divisions such as Flemington

offering a community lifestyle for those

re-locating from the city.

Lincoln’s attraction is its quiet

village setting, rural surroundings,

good amenities and close proximity to

Christchurch.

Boutique retail stores cover

giftware, fashion, upmarket butchery,

pharmacy, supermarket, hardware and

a service station. There are also cafés,

restaurants and a wine bar and high

decile schooling – from pre-schools

to university level. There are also

plenty of community amenities with a

library, churches and excellent sporting

facilities. All are a five minute drive

from the housing estates that line the

town’s borders.

“Lincoln has a strong family oriented

community feel,” suggests Shane

Kennedy, developer of Flemington.

Maintaining Lincoln’s character

has been an important goal for those

mapping out Flemington and its success

is evident with young families through

to older people purchasing sections

there.

“Our focus has been to offer a

quieter life for those who will live at

Flemington. Lincoln has always been

a lovely peaceful area to live in. We

wanted to maintain that with a design

that emphasises community and

lifestyle,” says Shane who believes that

Flemington’s blueprint will stand out as

time goes on.

This is reflected in the curved streets

that encourage slow traffic speeds and

lack of through roads, taking away the

potential for people to shortcut through

the sub-division.

There are generous reserves, with

a flexi-paved tennis court, large

playground with basketball court

and field for children to kick a ball;

all centrally sited within the subdivision.

More green space has been

factored into future stages where

an interconnecting walk/cycleway

will allow residents to safely and

conveniently move around their

suburb, and access other parts of

Lincoln.

Plans for a café are also in the

pipeline. This will be sited in the stage

that is currently under completion and

will link Flemington with Rosemerryn.

Section sizes range from 500 to 850

square metres, averaging around 700

square metres. They are priced from

$175,000 to $220,000 with an average

price of $189,000.

Shane believes the sections are at

a good price point, explaining why

Flemington has been well received by

the market with steady sales.

Of the total 620 planned lots, 240

sections have already been sold.

Flemington’s planning and construction

has taken just over three years during

which time five stages have been

completed with the sixth currently

under development.

A further eight stages are planned

for Flemington with Lincoln set to

experience more growth in the years to

come.

Flemington’s planning & construction

has taken just over three years

Community

& lifestyle

have been

emphasised in

Flemington’s

design.

Learn the art of cultivating coriander

CORIANDER CAN be a tricky herb

to grow.

It has a tendency to bolt when it

gets too warm and goes leggy and

straggly when it gets damp.

Once you understand the art to

cultivating this aromatic herb it’s really

not so tricky to grow at all.

First of all you need to find the

right spot to plant it. Coriander prefers

to be in full sun or partial shade.

Growing it in a small pot indoors

– like on your kitchen window isn’t

recommended.

For the best results try planting

your coriander seedlings in a large,

deep pot outside or a sunny, freedraining

area in your garden.

This will prevent your plants

getting damp. For the same reason,

when you water this herb it’s important

to do it in the morning, not the

Tasty peas for children to grow

SUGAR SNAP peas are tasty, easy to grow

and perfect for planting with kids.

Because they’re quick growing they fit

well with the attention spans of children and

they can be eaten straight from the garden.

You don’t need heaps of space to grow

these sweet tasting peas but have something

for them to grow up like a trellis or netting.

Once you’ve got the perfect spot to plant,

dig in a little fertiliser or compost to give the

seedlings a good kick-start.

Then make a little hole and pop a seedling

in. Plant each seedling around 20cm apart

from the next.

Your peas will grow in a pod like beans

and will be ready to harvest in around eight

to 10 weeks.

Not sure if they’re ready? Just taste-test

them.

evening, so it can dry off in the sun

during the day.

Once your plant has got established

remember to eat it quickly.

If it’s not consumed fast enough it

tends to go to seed.

Don’t eat a lot of coriander but still

like to have it on hand? Never fear,

simply stagger your planting of it.

Instead of buying several coriander

plants at once, buy a mixed herb

bundle.

Two to four weeks after you

planted the first coriander, buy another

mixed herb bundle or pot and

do the same.

This means as one plant goes to

seed another will be ready for eating.

Plus you get a wide variety of

other herbs to choose from in your

garden. Each coriander will take

three to four weeks to grow.

EASY: Sugar snap peas grow in a pod.

Question:

Hi there, I have a question. I’ve received a beautiful hydrangea

as a gift and wonder whether it’s okay to be transplanted into

the garden?

Hydrangeas are making more of a comeback in the

Answer: garden now, with their beautiful burst of colour paired

with their general lower maintenance, they are a great

option in the garden for those that don’t have as much time to spend in the garden,

but still want the colourful display. Your hydrangea can definitely be planted out in the

garden, it will thrive in good soil that has some organic compost and a general garden

fertiliser in it. Before you plant out, make sure that you soak the pot in a bucket of water

to ensure that they root ball is well-hydrated before it goes in the ground. Plant in the

ground at the same level as the pot, in a hole twice the size as the root ball. Pop the

plant in, and cover with the left over soil. Once you have it in the ground, make sure

you give it a water, and keep watering it regularly until it is established in the ground.

Fun facts about Hydrangeas

✓ They’ll handle sun, but flowers last longest and develop better colour in light or

dappled shade.

✓ Keep them watered, the big leaves can dry out quickly during hot weather.

✓ Flower colour is subjective to soil conditions. Blues are intensified by acid conditions, while alkaline

soils favour pink and red shades. To enhance pink shades, apply lime, to encourage blue shades,

apply ammonium or aluminium sulphate or an acid fertiliser. It may take a season or two to see the

results you want, so be patient!

Why should I use

fertiliser?

Fertiliser helps plants to be able to produce fruit, flowers,

and foliage. With vegetables that are “gross feeders” (need

a lot of nutrients to make their produce) you will want to

make sure they have a good supply of fertiliser through

the growing season. It helps to create a healthier plant that

gives you a bigger yield and larger produce.

Add vibrancy to

your outdoor

furniture

Striped canvas in basic colours was

once the norm for outdoor furniture.

Now, a myriad of patterns and colours are

available from vibrant bold hues to muted

tones, allowing you to carry the theme

and colours indoors out to your deck or

patio.

Outdoor chairs, stools and loungers

can all be given a lift, or selected pieces

upholstered in floral, geometric or

striped designs for contrast. Create your

own look or up-date existing furniture.

There are loads of colours and patterns

as well as plain fabrics to choose from,

all scientifically created to cope with the

harsh effects of the sun.

With these fabrics less affected by the

sun and water resistant, you do not need

to worry if your outdoor furniture is left

out over summer, only needing to tuck

them under cover as autumn and winter

bring damper weather.

Maxine at Classic Curtains & Interiors

carries a range of outdoor fabric samples

and has access to an even larger range so

if you have a particular concept in mind

or have seen a fabric you like then she can

help you source it.

Classic Curtains & Interiors also

offer a re-upholstery service so if you

have a favourite chair that you would

like restored for the indoors or outside

then this is an ideal place to visit. The

woodwork can be fixed up, structural

components sorted and the chair reupholstered

(all at the same time) so it

looks brand new again. They also supply

new chairs from small to large whether it

is an armchair, wing chair or dining chair,

along with footstools, headboards and

sofas; all able to be covered in your choice

of fabric.

Currently, Maxine has three new

chairs in store; one with a storage

box underneath making it ideal for a

bedroom. With an outdoor fabric, this

chair could also be used outdoors.

The sun’s UV rays can also affect your

furnishings

indoors,

especially in

summer when the sun is

stronger and up for longer

– fading curtains, drapes

and furniture. As home

furnishings are a serious

investment, they deserve

protection. Voiles and

sunscreen blinds are a great

way to protect your curtains,

carpet and furniture.

Curtain fabrics will also

have a longer life if they

have a block-out or soft

block lining. These protect

curtains from the sun while

also keeping the heat out

in summer, and the heat in

during cooler weather.

Classic Curtains & Interiors

is Selwyn’s curtain fabric

specialists; covering your

home furnishing needs and

offering a little more, such

as their range of decoupage

supplies for those who

create their own cards, bags,

designs and crafts.

New beginnings for

local business owner

A familiar landmark on the southern

highway between Rolleston and Burnham

is soon to close its doors.

Y-Nots first began operating in 1997

with current owner, Linda taking the

business over in August 2015. Since then,

Linda has enjoyed building the business

into a successful outlet selling unique

furniture and homeware.

With big changes happening for Linda

and a pending move with her husband

to the North Island to take up a new

farming position, she has made the hard

call to close Y-Nots’ local retail store and

customers are enjoying the opportunity to

snap up a bargain.

No doubt many Rolleston and Burnham

locals, as well as many regular customers

who travel from all over Christchurch to

hunt out something unique at Y-Nots, will

be disappointed to see this popular store

close.

The closing down sign outside the local

store is not all bad news however, as Linda

plans to continue operating Y-Nots as an

already established Internet business and

she may even open another retail store

further north at some time in the future.

“I’m excited about our new venture but

also sad to be leaving the district,” says

Linda. “I’ve come to know many locals

and build a relationship with our loyal

customers so it will be sad to lose the face

to face contact with these lovely people.”

Existing and new customers are

benefitting from Linda’s pending move,

with stock reduced in price by as much

as 70%. There are still lots of bargains

and with so much stock in storage, Linda

is bringing new items out onto the shop

floor every day. These include: handcrafted

solid wood furniture (from buffets

through to small tables and bookcases),

home décor items, lamps, artwork, wall

art, mirrors, indoor pots from small

to very large, copper statues, incense,

candles, jewellery, artificial flowers

and plants, clocks, cards, cushions,

candleholders, and original hand painted

art on canvas; all unique and something

different.

“Customers have been streaming into

the store to snap up the bargains,” adds

Linda who advises that the final days

of trading will be the middle of March,

providing she has not sold out before that

day; plenty of reasons to regularly call by.

Linda will no longer be offering laybys

or finance with items needing to be

collected within three days of purchase.

Y-Nots, is open from Tuesdays to

Thursdays, 10am-5pm; Fridays 10am-

3pm; and on the weekends from 10am-

4.30pm, at 2239 Main South Road (five

Certification of gas

installations is essential

Gas cooking provides instant and

consistent heat.

In New Zealand, LPG (liquefied

petroleum gas) is used. This needs

sufficient ventilation and to be legal and

fully insured, gas installations must be

set-up by a registered and licensed gas

fitter.

In new homes, gas cylinders/metres are

fitted to the exterior of the home, with gas

fed through pipes to where it is required

indoors. This is undertaken by a qualified

gas fitter who provides certification that

the work meets the legal requirements for

gas in the home and will be required as

part of the Code of Compliance on a new

build.

It is no longer compliant to fit a gas

bottle in a cupboard under a cooktop.

These bottles should now be located

outside and the work required to do this

must be carried out by a certified gas fitter

who will then provide documentation

supporting this, giving peace of mind and

meaning the house is compliant should it

be on sold.

Selwyn Gasfitters are specialists in

gas and plumbing installations and

alterations. They install heat pumps,

gas hobs or ovens, and will relocate a

gas bottle outside. They also service

all brands of fixed and portable gas

appliances and are approved Bosch

service agents.

The added bonus of having Selwyn

Gasfitters on the job is that they can

also take care of the electrical side

of any installations whether it is a

solar system; gas water heating; or a

hydronic underfloor heating system

that uses heat pump, gas or oil fired

boiler to heat the slab.

Selwyn Gasfitters also install patio

gas heating and can connect your

barbecues and other outdoor gas

appliances to your household gas

system so you can draw on a larger gas

supply, taking away the need to rush off

to the local service station every time

the 9kg bottle runs out.

Owner, Glyn Gerrand and his team

at Selwyn Gasfitters, which is a division

of Property Force, are only too happy to

advise you on efficient gas heating options

and suggest units that fit your home’s

aesthetics.

The advantages of solar

Solar energy is said to be the power

source of the future and with technology

improving and costs decreasing, many

people are choosing solar.

For as little as $4,800, solar water

heating can be installed. With the

potential for long-term electricity savings,

many people are selecting solar ready

cylinders so they have the option of

installing solar water heating at any point

in time.

“Many of our customers are delighted

with their electricity savings since having

solar water heating installed, especially

when water heating can account for as

much as 50% of household electricity use,”

suggests Annemarie Duff, Marketing

Manager of Sunshine Solar who believes

that solar also adds value to a property.

When the owner of Sunshine Solar,

John Wilson installed a solar electricity

system in his own home with a family

of six, he saved over $200 in the first few

weeks.

“Our clients quickly see the return

on their investment. They want to live

sustainably and know they are doing the

right thing by taking pressure off the

wider power grid and environment,” says

Annemarie.

New Zealand owned and operated,

Sunshine Solar began in 2003. John

purchased the business in 2005 and it has

been growing steadily ever since.

Based locally in Yaldhurst, the

company has installed over 2,000 solar

systems, in residential and commercial

buildings around New Zealand, and have

undertaken numerous large projects.

An example is the YHA Hostels where

the investment has returned impressive

electricity savings.

Currently, most solar electricity systems

are set up so that excess electricity,

generated during the day is sold back

into the grid through the home owner’s

electricity retailer. With the introduction

of battery storage systems, solar energy

produced during the day is now stored by

battery and used in the household once

the sun goes down.

“Solar water heating is the most popular

because of the instant return however,

as the price of batteries continues to

decrease, the solar electrical systems

will become more viable too,” adds

Annemarie.

“Solar hot water systems are designed

to last twenty years. They require very

little maintenance and have few parts that

are easily replaceable. We do encourage

clients to get regular maintenance checks

however, to make sure the system is

working efficiently.”

Sunshine Solar, have their own team of

registered and suitably qualified plumbers

and trusted electrical contractors who

can take care of installations, repairs and

servicing of solar systems.

Local nursery

embraces changes

When new road alignments impact

on businesses they have two options: to

be overwhelmed by the changes or to

embrace them.

With the southern motorway

being extended through to Rolleston,

established trees along Southern Woods

Nursery’s road frontage have been cleared

and the boundary realigned. This has

presented the forty-strong team at the

nursery with an exciting opportunity to

re-develop and expand the business.

The Southern Woods team have

taken up the challenge, working hard to

restructure the business that will combine

their existing premises with the old

Evergreen nursery site, to form a larger,

purpose built nursery operation.

The new nursery will expand to the

corner of Robinsons and Main South

roads, taking over the old Evergreen

building, which is currently being

extensively renovated.

Southern Woods will soon be operating

from their new premises, accessed from a

new entrance on Robinsons Road. Their

new purpose-built garden centre will

offer an even larger selection of retail

plants, tool and gardening accessories, all

with the same level of expert service that

customers have come to expect. There

will also be new display gardens to inspire

customers.

During this time, Southern Woods

are still open for business in the current

garden centre.

“The retail team are working hard to

ensure a smooth transition between the

two sites which is expected to take place

in a few months’ time. At the moment

it is business as usual,” says Marketing

Manager, Rico Mannall.

A new crop of summer plants is

coming through and a good selection of

perennials and flowering plants that will

add colour to the garden, are already in

stock. They also have their new crops of

New Zealand natives that are perfect for

late summer/early autumn planting.

With many people now keen on

planting edibles, Southern Woods’

selection of fruit trees, berry vines,

fruits like the very popular Feijoas or

Chilean Guavas with their lovely sweet

berries, and pip fruits such as apples

and pears, are all worth checking out.

There is also a good variety of stone fruit

including plums, which typically do well

in Canterbury conditions, along with

apricots and peaches.

Citrus fruits are ripening

at this time of year too.

Whether it is juicy lemons

or limes you want to add to a

glass of water or for cooking,

or oranges and mandarins to snack on,

Southern Woods have them in stock.

With autumn almost here, it is a good

time to plant shrubs and trees in the

garden, as long as irrigation is in place.

A little forward planning will mean this

task is in hand with Southern Woods’

massive selection of natives, of all shapes

and sizes (including exotics), allowing you

to add plenty of colour and character to

your garden.

The new Southern Woods site with

motorway works in the background.

Southern Woods is open 8-5 weekdays

and 9-5 weekends. Their entrance is

now off Robinsons Road by the corner

of Main South Road. Contact details

Ensuring a safe work place

Learning first aid is not only a part of ensuring a safe

work place, but also an integral part of our engagement with the

wider community. We all learn the necessary skills to ensure that

in times of emergency we are able to assist our work colleagues,

but are we able to take these skills home, into the community or

on to the sports field?

not all work places are the same and the injury risk for each place

can be wide and variable. The office attended by administrators

does not carry the same risk as those people working with heavy

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from a regular ambulance

service. it is therefore essential that you pick the right first aid

course to suit all of your activities – both professional and social.

take, for example, an office worker who does not have a high

risk work environment and whose concern might be to ensure that

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial injuries, or the ability

to perform effective CPr. These skills can be achieved on a course

of eight hours duration and would generally fit into low to medium

risk area. But take this same person on to a sports field either as a

spectator or player when a higher level injury occurs. The eight

hour course covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 26551 and

26552) does not cover head neck and spinal injuries, eye injuries,

A CLASSIC: Go and watch 1980s adventure comedy The Goonies on an outdoor movie

bean bag or blanket, and chill out.

hypothermia and poisonings.

The majority of injuries occur outside of the work place, in

fact one in three injuries occurs in the home, making it the most

common place for injuries to happen. new Zealand children

are twice as likely to die through injury as children who live in

australia. They mostly die as a result of motor vehicles accidents

or falls in the home. fatalities from leisure and sport are not far

behind those in the workplace.

The wider 12 hour course teaches the additional unit standard

6400 and provides a wide knowledge base for medium to high risk

environments. This course covers many of the skills required to

deal with the most common injuries, such as falls (which can result

in head, neck and spinal injuries) and dealing with complex scenes

such as motor vehicle accidents.

if you are not sure on the course best suited to your needs, ask

your accredited first aid training provider. They can explain the

course content and give you options that will best suit your needs.

Look beyond the workplace and consider your family and your

location. Check that you have a good quality first aid kit that is

up-to-date with replenished items, and that everyone knows where

it is located.
