District

alcohol

policy

decision

looms

• By Tom Doudney

A NEW policy on when and

where bars and bottle stores can

operate in Selwyn may clear its

final hurdle tomorrow.

After almost four years of

negotiation and dispute, the Local

Alcohol Policy is up for approval

at tomorrow’s district council

meeting.

The policy would come into

effect on April 24, except for

provisions on trading hours for

licensed premises which would

come into effect on July 31.

Taverns will be forced to close

at 2am - later than the 1am time

which had been proposed in an

earlier version of the policy but

earlier than the 3am time that

several are currently allowed to

stay open until.

New standalone bottle stores

would only be allowed to locate in

business zones or neighbourhood

and local centres identified in the

District Plan.

SELWYN TIMES

FROM

THE

EDITOR’S

DESK News........................3-7, 10-11

SOME VERY strong comments

from Canterbury’s Medical Officer

of Health Alistair Humphrey in

today’s lead story on changes to

the district’s alcohol policy.

The changes are likely to be

rubber stamped at the distict

council meeting tomorrow and

will see closing hours come

forward from 3am to 2am.

Health authorities wanted

bars closed at 1am - but the

district council seems to have

compromised with the 2am plan.

Humphrey isn’t happy and

believes the district council has

been strong armed by the liquor

industry, which of course represents

bar owners who generally

want to be open as long as possible.

Heady stuff.

The first Selwyn Sounds has

come and gone and it’ll be a

talking point for some time for all

the right reasons.

Great job by all involved.

Green light for new Lincoln school

• By Tom Doudney

A PREVIOUSLY signalled

second primary school for

Lincoln will go ahead in 2019,

the Government has confirmed.

It was one of three new primary

schools which Education

Minister Hekia Parata has announced

will open in 2019, with

the other two being in Auckland

and Tauranga.

The location for Lincoln South

Primary School has not yet been

finalised but that is likely to happen

soon.

Gumboot throw

record attempt

Charlotte Hastings, Braden

Caulfield and Reilly Cormack

were three of about 120 people

who turned up to the Lincoln

University sports fields last week

for an unsuccessful attempt to set

a new Guiness World Record for

the number of people taking part

in a gumboot throwing competition.

The record of 478 people, set

by Massey University last year, was

never under threat. Lincoln had

held the record before Massey,

with 348 people at a competition

in 2013.

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN

It will be a full primary school

(Years 1-8). Stage one of the $14

million project will cater for 450

students with a final roll of 700.

Formally establishing the

school enables an establishment

board of trustees to be appointed

and planning to get underway.

Ms Parata said the new school

would help ease the pressure on

the existing Lincoln Primary

School, which is currently operating

from two sites due to

the number of pupils having

outgrown available classroom

space, and would cater for the

continued population growth the

town was experiencing.

Lincoln Primary School

principal Viv Butcher said the

school was delighted at the announcement.

The school roll

was currently at 575 pupils and

was expected to continue growing

even after the new school

opened.

“We have been told that the

roll could get up to 800,” she

said.

“We have got a [classroom]

refurbishment underway at the

moment, we have got a building

programme underway and all

the design work has been done,

that is getting quite close to submission

for consent, and then we

are talking about the next phase

of building with the Ministry [of

Education] now.”

Selwyn MP Amy Adams said

news of the new school was

wonderful.

“Lincoln South Primary will

have state-of-the-art, modern

and comfortable buildings to

ensure local kids and their teachers

can work in the best possible

learning environment,” she said.

In Brief

MAYOR’S BABY BORN

Mayor Sam Broughton and

GALLERY REOPENS

Darfield’s Selwyn Gallery is to

reopen after the building which

housed it was closed for repairs

in January. The gallery’s next

exhibition, a Different Landscape,

will open on Tuesday

next week. Orion, which own

the building that houses the

gallery, had requested the

gallery be cleared prior to

construction beginning.

RAKAIA BOAT RAMP

A staff report to tomorrow’s

district council meeting

recommends making a $50,000

fund available to the Little

Rakaia Boating Club to help

repair the a boat ramp,

breakwater and foreshore area.

The area was damaged in a

2008 flood and the district

council set up the fund for

its maintenance, repair or

enhancement at that time.

The club needs funding,

initially to undertake design

work on the project and

ultimately to complete the

project.

District alcohol

decision looms

• From page 1

The police and Canterbury

Medical Officer of Health

Alistair Humphrey had been

strong supporters of the 1am

closing time for taverns.

But that policy was appealed

by Foodstuffs South Island

Ltd, The Mill Retail Holdings

and Independent Liquor Ltd,

Progressive Enterprises, Lincoln

Golf Club, the Hospitality Association

of New Zealand and

Super Liquor Holdings Ltd,

which argued that it was too

restrictive.

In May 2015 the appeal was

heard by the Alcohol Regulatory

and Licensing Authority which

asked the district council to

reconsider the policy.

Dr Humphrey said Selwyn

was one of a number of councils

which had been strong-armed

into changing its policy by the

alcohol industry which was

better resourced to fight a battle

in the courts.

“I think we just have to keep

our fingers crossed that we don’t

see too much harm in Selwyn

as a consequence of that extra

hour,” he said.

“I dearly hope that nobody

gets hurt at that time but I am

sure people will be, and every

time someone dies in a car crash

as a consequence of alcohol

or every time someone gets

assaulted, every time someone

gets raped because someone has

had that extra bit of booze at

that time of night is something

that I hope will weigh on the

consciences of those who made

that decision to push it out for

an extra hour.”

Hospitality Association

South Island area manager

Amy McLellan-Minty said Mr

Humphrey’s comments were

inaccurate, ill informed, inflammatory

and damaging to an

industry which took responsible

drinking and the safety of its

patrons seriously.

“The lack of compelling

evidence from police and health

about alcohol related harm in

the Selwyn district is more likely

the reason for the council

decision,” she said.

A spokeswoman for the

district council said it would not

comment on the policy before

tomorrow’s meeting.

The district council first consulted

on its draft Local Alcohol

Policy in July 2013 and received

67 submissions.

Concert organisers look ahead

• By Tom Doudney

ORGANISERS OF the Selwyn

Sounds concert are already

looking to next year’s event after

a crowd estimated at more than

7500 packed the Lincoln Domain

on Saturday.

Event organiser David Parlane

said he didn’t have final crowd

numbers in yet, but estimated it

would be between 7500 and 8000

people.

The line up included Mi-Sex,

Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band,

Jason Kerrison, Annie Crummer,

Debbie Harwood, Margaret

Urlich and Sharon O’Neill, as

well as other acts.

Mr Parlane said it had been an

astounding success.

“We got the perfect day, the

perfect weather, the perfect

people and it just went to plan,”

Mr Parlane said.

He was talking to several international

acts about playing at the

event next year, but couldn’t give

away any names at this stage.

Mayor Sam Broughton said

the event’s success was good for

Selwyn.

“There are a number of existing

events which draw large

crowds but it’s nice to have new

events which also attract people

not only from within the district,

but from outside the district as

PARTY: More than 7500 people enjoyed the Selwyn Sounds

concert on Saturday.

well, with plenty of people from

Christchurch enjoying a day in

Selwyn,” he said.

“We have got a population now

that can support large events and

also proximity to surrounding

districts and locations that are

desirable for large events.”

Mr Broughton said the organisers

had clearly put in a massive

effort to make the event a

success.

“There were a few concerns

from neighbours around sound

and parking and things, but the

reports I have heard is that it all

went well.”

SELWYN TIMES

Event operations manager Stuart

Dwight said there had been

no problems with disorder at the

concert and no one was arrested

on the day.

“We ran hourly meetings with

the police and fire brigade,” he

said.

“The people that had a little bit

too much to drink were asked to

stop and a couple of them just

left on their own accord.”

Mr Parlane said there had also

been some “learnings” from the

event and next year they would

be likely to include more toilets.

NINa COOk - OpeNINg

Nina Cook was born in Whakatane in 1967. She was educated in Wanganui and

then at Christchurch Polytechnic School of Art and Design where she received

a Bachelor of Design. In 2007 Nina established the studio from which she

currently works. Nina’s latest exhibition named ‘Opening’ takes place at Little

River Gallery from March 11th until April 5th.

Ian Clothier writes about Nina Cook’s new works from the exhibition

‘Opening’.

“…Sumptuously indulgent, some of the paintings have sensual cavities

accompanied by extravagant displays of form and colour that come close to

gorging the eyes. Words such as colour, spectrum and visual feast apply equally

to the paintings as they do to the tail of peacocks. Such

as the collection of thoughts about feathers, colour

and visual luxury that assemble on reflection of Nina

Cook’s Opening works.”

Nina writes about her own work.

“The narrative/impetus for this series of works is deeply personal. Broadly, it is

about a cycle of profound hurt to intense release. Opening: to force an opening

(to breach) through to Opening: to release and truly open up.

The process is integral and is one of concentrated, open-minded patience,

requiring me to stay alert to paint (viscosity, brush loading, etc) and

compositional characteristics in much the same way

as fully abstract works demand. These cannot

be rushed, nor the movements/marks allowed

to become repetitively mechanical. To do so

would be to undermine the intention of the work.

The works initially appear highly decorative and

orderly – feathers mean birds. But on closer inspection, these are not any birds

you’d recognise. Their physiology is different (wrong? altered?). The colours

and intensity are emotive, the mark-making intense. These irregularities draw

you in, encourage observation and contemplation. But ultimately you are

released to once again to simply enjoy the decorative qualities of these jewels.

That they are designed to be hung at any angle, allows the image to be

changed/refreshed at will. This allows the viewer input into the relationship

each work has with its surroundings. The round paintings are very effective in

groupings, allowing differences between the works to intensify each other.”

Heritage homes on display to public

SOME OF Canterbury’s most

historically significant properties

will open their doors to the

public this weekend.

The Hororata and Beyond

Heritage Open Day will be held

on Sunday.

Participants will be able

to journey through time to

Canterbury’s pioneering past

by visiting heritage properties

and museums in Hororata,

Homebush, Glenroy, Glentunnel,

Windwhistle and Lake

Coleridge.

Properties opening for the day

will include Gunyah Country

Estate, Terrace Station, Homebush

Stables, Cotons’ Cottage

and Museum, Washpen Falls,

Glentunnel Museum, Steventon

(Lady Barkers Homestead),

Rockwood Station, The Point

Station, St John’s Church and

more.

Many of these properties

are generally only open by

appointment and usually prefer

group bookings. A number of

properties are offering special

activities throughout the day

and some will have vintage

machinery on display.

Organising committee member

Karen Meares said all the

property owners were passionate

about sharing not only their

heritage properties, but also the

stories of the people who had

lived there.

“Having all of these properties

open on one day allows people

to get a great insight into life in

the late 19 th century, when the

district was the great hope of

Canterbury with agricultural

and industry development,” she

said.

“The heritage open day not

only gives the community the

opportunity to showcase the

region’s interesting heritage,

but has provided motivation

and inspiration for those who

are involved in the heritage

of the district. The Hororata

Community Trust has been a

great supporter, which has really

allowed this project to achieve all

it set out to do and more.”

Many of the properties’

stories are intertwined as the

communities developed and

the pioneers worked to establish

farms and industries, such as

lime, clay, pottery and coal.

•All properties open on

Sunday, 9am to 5pm. Tickets

$35 each, school children

free. This admits you to three

properties on the day.

Single entry (admit to one

property) $15 each. Tickets

Leslie Greenslade

Our People

Rugby fan too slow to duck

Lincoln resident Leslie

Greenslade has been

involved with rugby

administration for more

than 20 years. She

spoke to Tom Doudney

about how her children

got her involved, the

state of women’s rugby

and her favourite game

You’ve been pretty heavily

involved in rugby with

Ellesmere, Canterbury Country,

the Lincoln Rugby Club,

Lincoln High School and

the South Island. What sort of

roles have you filled with all of

those?

With the Lincoln Rugby Club I

was JAB (junior advisory board)

secretary for a long time and club

secretary for three or four years

as well; for Ellesmere JAB I was

secretary of that for four or five

years; with Canterbury I have

been the secretary and president

and I am now secretary for the

second time; I am also a board

member on the Ellesmere Sub

Union management committee;

and for the South Island JAB I

have been president and am currently

the secretary.

TIRELESS: Leslie Greenslade has made a big behind the scenes contribution with South Island

Ellesmere, Canterbury Country, Lincoln and Lincoln High School rugby over a period of more

than 20 years.

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

I take it that’s all volunteer

work?

Pretty much.

Do you have a day job as well?

No, at the high school I am the

rugby administrator so I do get

paid for that. We have a dairy

farm, not that I do much active

dairy farming any more – I don’t

have much time.

Where is your farm?

We are right next to Lincoln,

the township is coming out fast

to meet us. We are right on the

boundary of the Ngai Tahu development,

so when it’s finished

the township will be right next

to us.

How long have you lived

there?

I have lived in Lincoln since

1984 and in this particular house

since 1989, so it’s a long time.

Did the township seem a fair

way away to begin with?

It did! There were quite a few

hectares between us and the

township and now there is not.

How do you feel about that?

I would really rather it wasn’t

creeping closer but things change

and you just have to adapt.

How do you find the time for

all that involvement with rugby?

Sometimes it’s very busy and

pretty stressful. It would be

extremely difficult if you had a

full-time job because it does take

up a lot of hours but it’s rewarding

at the same time.

In what way do you find it

rewarding?

For instance with the high

school, seeing boys develop into

better players. We have seen some

go through to being Super Rugby

payers like Tom Sanders and

Mitchell Dunshea.

How did your involvement

with rugby start?

Pretty much when my boys

started playing, I started getting

involved in the Lincoln JAB. I

went along and you know, some

people are suckers and can’t say

no, too slow to duck or something.

It has been 32 years since Mark Nicholas completed his apprenticeship and

almost 13 years since he and wife Leona opened Mark’s Automotive on

Springs Rd in Prebbleton. So you could say that experience and knowledge

are in ample supply at this busy garage.

There are four fully qualified vehicle technicians, two apprentices including

four warrant inspectors with a wealth of skills and abilities. There are also

three girls in the office to keep things ticking along and of course Rosie the

dog who oversees the whole business.

The benefits of having such a large team means there is a wide variety of

specialty within the employees. All customers who bring their vehicles into

the garage can be assured that when they leave they will be travelling in a

vehicle that has not only been fixed or serviced but is safe to drive on the

road.

Leona says it is important now with yearly warrants that owners ensure

they are having their vehicles regularly serviced. This can pick up problems

before they become bigger and more costly as well as ensure vehicles are able

to deal with different conditions on the road.

“One of the big things we are picking up now with warrants is that brake

pads and discs are a lot more worn out than when people had their cars

serviced six monthly,” she says.

“It is really important heading into winter that brakes are working at their

peak so when conditions become a bit more hazardous you know your vehicle

is operating at its best.”

Mark’s Automotive is also a supplier of tyres and batteries with a 3-year

warranty on all batteries sold. Battery testing is one of the many services

provided by the team as well as servicing and diagnostics.

Bookings are essential so either phone or come in and meet the team at

Mark’s Automotive where client service and satisfaction are the top priority

of the whole team.



administration work

What are your sons’ names

and when did the first start

playing?

Chris, Adrian and Graeme.

About 24 years ago.

Have any of them made it

reasonably far in the game?

Chris and Graeme have played

for Canterbury Country seniors,

Adrian played for Canterbury

Country 18s and then decided

representative rugby wasn’t for

him. Our daughter plays rugby

as well.

Is she younger than the boys?

Yes she is. Trina is 23 and plays

for Burnham/Dunsandel/Irwell.

She actually started playing at

high school. She didn’t play when

she was younger because I didn’t

really want the kids playing in

four teams in four different directions,

so she played netball because

that was always at Lincoln.

With rugby, even though

there are a lot more girls playing

it these days, I guess some people

might still see it as a bit of a

men’s game. Do you find that’s

the case?

They certainly do. Trina

started playing rugby because I

was working at the high school

and I went with the rugby team

and didn’t get to watch her play

netball, so she thought she’d play

rugby instead.

PATH TO SUCCESS: Leslie Greenslade says seeing former

Lincoln High School students like Mitchell Dunshea (above)

and Tom Sanders go on to play Super Rugby, for the Crusaders

and Chiefs respectively, is one of the rewarding parts of being

involved with grassroots rugby.

And has she taken to it pretty

well?

Yeah, well she made the Canterbury

team last year, so she’s

not bad either.

Do you watch many of your

children’s games?

I watch as many of their games

as I can. I would watch one of

them play pretty much every

week and two of them play in the

same team so that makes it easier.

How do you choose whose

game to go to?

It’s pretty much what we can

get to. My husband John has to

choose as well, and we sort of

try and even it up between their

games, just roughly.

Apart from following your

kids’ games, has John had

much involvement with rugby

himself?

No, he has said that he is the

rugby widow, he leaves it to me.

Did you ever play any rugby

yourself?

No, I played netball. I grew up

in Southbridge which was a much

more conservative area than it is

now.

If you had your youth again

these days, do you think you

would?

Possibly not, I was more a

cricket fan myself.

Did you have any interest in

rugby before your kids started

playing?

I’m a good Canterbury person

so I always supported the Canterbury

team.

Do you ever go to Canterbury,

Crusaders or All Blacks games?

Yes, I go and watch them

when I can but sometimes if I’ve

already watched three games of

rugby for the day I just want to

curl up in front of the TV and

watch where it’s warm. But yes,

I do like the live games and certainly

go to the All Blacks when

they are here and some of the

Crusaders and Canterbury games

and I watched a few women’s

games last year.

Do you have a favourite game

that you have watched?

The Crusaders v Waratahs

when they absolutely smashed

them (the Crusaders bet the

Saturday 25th March 2017

Sheffield Showgrounds

Malvern Agricultural & Pastoral Association

Waratahs 96-19 in 2002). It was

just one of those games where

everything went right for them

and 50/50 passes went their way

all day. I don’t generally like

watching one-sided games, I

usually prefer better contests but

that was one of those ones that

stands out.

Apart from rugby do you have

any other hobbies or interests?

I don’t have a lot of time for

anything other than rugby but I

am a pretty avid sports watcher

of anything. I used to play touch

before I got injured.

You injured yourself playing

touch?

No, I actually stuffed my knee

playing netball. I used to play

that too, until I had ACL replacement

surgery. I used to play

netball a lot.

Was that a while ago that you

had that injury?

It was a bit over 10 years ago.

I did play touch again after that

but it’s not the same when your

knee is sore.

Do you think you will be

involved in organising rugby for

quite a long time to come?

I’m still a bit slow to duck, so,

yes, I think so. I’m a little bit

interested in pushing girls and

women’s rugby, there are still

barriers for them to be playing.

University’s Mrs O farewelled

• By Bridget Rutherford

JOAN O’LOUGHLIN had seen it

all in her 32 years of being a mother

away from home to Lincoln University

students.

She left such a mark, the university’s

cafe and bar was named after her when

it opened in 2001. Mrs O’s has been an

institution ever since.

Mrs O’Loughlin passed away on

February 17, and was farewelled on

February 25. She was 89.

Starting at the university in 1966,

Mrs O’Loughlin was a cleaner and tea

attendant largely in Hudson Hall.

But in turn, she became a second

mother to many students living on

campus.

One of those students was Paul

Bolger – son of then Prime Minister Jim

Bolger.

“Mrs Bolger used to phone quite a

lot to see how he was getting on, but he

was generally quiet and studious,” Mrs

O’Loughlin said in Lincoln’s Alumni

News after retiring in 1998.

At the time, she said there was “never

a dull moment”, and had many stories

about the pranks and shenanigans she

witnessed during her work.

There was one occasion when someone

balanced containers of water on

broom handles outside each bedroom

door, and took out all the corridor

light bulbs. In the middle of the night,

the mystery prankster yelled ‘flood,’

so everyone came rushing out of their

doors splashing water throughout the

corridor.

Mrs O’Loughlin not only looked

after students. In 1974, overseas athletes

stayed at Lincoln while they competed

at the Commonwealth Games.

Lincoln Alumni and Development

Office heritage writer Ian Collins said

Mrs O’Loughlin brought a warm and

caring attitude to the halls.

“She remembered students’ birthdays

and made them cakes, and reassured

parents that their children living in the

halls were being looked after.”

He said it was a unique situation

having a campus facility named after a

member of Lincoln’s support services.

Mrs O’Loughlin’s daughter, Jo-Ann

O’Loughlin said her mother loved the

campus atmosphere and life working

among the students.

“My mother always said: ‘Your

working days are the best days of your

life’, and she felt very lucky to work at

Lincoln.”

When Mrs O’Loughlin retired from

Lincoln, she was one of the longest serving

on the staff.

REMEMBERED: Joan O’Loughlin,

affectionately known as Mrs O at Lincoln

University, was farewelled on February 25.

FIRST LOOK: This is what a major

new commercial development in

the Rolleston Square shopping

centre, between Masefield Drive

and McCauley St, will look like.

The Warehouse, Warehouse

Stationery and Noel Leeming,

with a combined floor space of

late this year. These stores plan

to employ about 60 full-time

staff. Rolleston Retail leasing

Bid to lift motor-cyclist safety

SELWYN motor-cyclists are

being offered the opportunity to

develop their skills so they can

be safer on the road.

The district council is offering

motor-cyclists the opportunity

to receive vouchers so they can

attend motor-cycle skills training

for free. Sessions are being

held in March and April.

The risk of being killed or

injured on the road is 21 times

higher for a motor-cyclist than

for a car driver, according to the

2016 New Zealand Household

Travel Survey.

From 2012 to 2016, there

were 47 motor-cycle crashes in

Selwyn, resulting in five fatalities,

27 serious injuries and 25

minor injuries.

District road safety coordinator

Ngaire Tinning said

the figures were concerning

and the district council had

originally offered the ‘Live to

Ride’ training in 2013 to try to

reduce the number and severity

of crashes in Selwyn. A total of

47 Selwyn motor-cyclists have

participated in the programme

since 2013.

While motor-cyclist numbers

are increasing, the number

of motor-cyclists involved in

crashes in Selwyn from 2012 to

2016 has now reduced from 58

in the 2007-2011 period.

UPSKILLING: The ‘Ride Forever’ training sessions will provide the opportunity to attend

motorcycle skills coaching.

The ‘Ride Forever’ training being

offered this year provides the

opportunity to attend motor-cycle

skills coaching, where people

can refresh their skills, and learn

and practice new techniques.

The courses will be delivered

by New Zealand Transport

Agency-qualified trainers and

will include training to develop

braking, handling and safe driving

skills. Course options are at

four different levels – gold, silver,

bronze and urban.

Mrs Tinning said the course

offered motor-cyclists the opportunity

to learn how to assess

risks, adopt safer rider positions

on the road to increase their

visibility to drivers and avoid

actions that may cause crashes

while riding.

“The course provides a

hands-on opportunity to learn

practical skills that can be applied

throughout the rest of your

riding life,” she said.

The courses are already

subsidised by Ride Forever. The

district council has 20 vouchers

available for local residents,

which will cover the remaining

$20 or $50 cost usually paid by

the motor-cyclist.

The vouchers are valid until

May 31.

more about the vouchers

and training sessions,

Indoor sports

facility a step

closer to reality

• By Tom Doudney

AN INDOOR sporting courts

facility at Rolleston’s Foster Park is

closer to becoming a reality.

The facility would cater to sports

like netball and basketball.

A report to tomorrow’s district

council meeting recommends appointing

a 10-person project steering

group, completing an options

and budget analysis, and confirming

building specifications.

The Foster Park Masterplan consulted

on in 2011-2012 recognised

the need for such a facility and

proposed that it could be located

either by the Selwyn Aquatic Centre

or at the Brooklands Dr end of

Foster Park. Subsequent analysis determined

the site next to the aquatic

centre would be too small.

The report to tomorrow’s meeting

cited Selwyn’s rapid population

growth and youthful demographics

compared to other districts as the

reason why it was needed.

It proposed that the steering

group include representatives

from the Selwyn Netball Centre,

the Selwyn United Football Club,

Canterbury Basketball and the

Selwyn Sports Trust, as well as Lincoln

Event Centre manager Ginny

Bowden, Selwyn Aquatic Centre

manager Kathy Moore and other

district council staff members.

SMALL CHANGE

MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE

Twice a year we clear the Community Fund collection boxes at

Christchurch Airport and share the money across the community.

Kiwi dollars, international currency, small change from your cup

of coffee, plus a top-up donation from us, all add up for local

charities and community projects.

Charities and community groups

180 Degrees Trust uses outdoor adventures to inspire

and teach life skills to vulnerable Canterbury youth, to

develop self-awareness, confidence and decision making

skills and so initiate a turnaround in young people’s lives.

Christchurch Airport proudly supports the 180 Degrees

Trust through the Community Fund.

Your Local Views

Global temperatures rising

SELWYN TIMES

Lincoln Envirotown Trust

project manager Dave

Fitzjohn writes on why you

should take part in Earth

Hour this year

Lincoln Envirotown Trust will

again be running a number of

Earth Hour Events this month to

encourage environmental awareness.

Earth Hour this year is to be

celebrated on March 25 and we

encourage everyone to switch

off their lights on this night

to participate in the symbolic

resource-saving that we all need

to be aware of.

Earth’s 2016 surface temperatures

were the warmest since

modern record-keeping began in

1880, according to independent

analyses by NASA and the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration. This makes 2016

the third year in a row to set a

new record for global average

surface temperatures. Most of the

warming occurred in the past 35

years, with 16 of the 17 warmest

years on record occurring since

2001.

The science is now very clear

that our rapid increases in

consumption (and consequential

production) with its effects on

our carbon emissions has been

a major cause of this warming.

TOPIC OF CONVERSATION: Then deputy mayor Sarah Walters

speaking at last year’s Kim Hill discussion, an annual Earth

Hour event held at Lincoln University.

It makes Earth Hour, which is

aimed at encouraging us to focus

on our electricity use, a symbolic

gesture of growing importance.

In New Zealand, with much

of our electricity coming from

renewable sources, fuel for

transport is perhaps even more

important.

Earth Hour started as a lightsout

event in Sydney. It has now

grown to engage more than 7000

towns and cities worldwide.

Lighting on civic buildings

and structures are switched off

between 8.30pm and 9.30pm

for Earth Hour and people are

encouraged to participate.

The World Wildlife

Foundation states that Earth

Hour’s aim is to “encourage

an interconnected global

community to share the

opportunities and challenge of

creating a Sustainable World.”

Pat Palmer, of Prebbleton,

writes about a proposal

to improve flows in the

Selwyn River using water

from the Central Plains

Water scheme

What good news that people

are getting serious about boosting

the low Selwyn River flows

with Rakaia River water from

Central Plains Water.

Perhaps about one per cent

of the Rakaia’s flow would be

enough.

Fish and Game and assorted

greenie groups could pay the

same as irrigators, or CPW

might make a gift.

As for polluting Te Waihora,

the swan, goose and duck excrement

needs flushing out. A few

more nutrients in the Pacific

might improve the fishing at

Birdlings Flat.

Les Wood, of Lincoln,

writes about plans for a

new bridge over the Liffey

Stream

I see that the secret projects

department of the Selwyn

District Council is alive and well.

Lemonwood Grove School is excited to announce an opportunity for

friends and whanau of the school, as well as the wider community,

to tour through our school and see the facilities.

This open evening will run from

4-6pm on Wednesday the 8 th March.

Representatives of staff and the board of trustees will be onsite to

answer questions you may have about the school.

There is no need to pre-register,

just come to the main office at the school.

Expressions of Interest

Trustee Position

The Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust has a broad

mandate to promote sustainable management,

conservation and recreation on Banks Peninsula.

It is now seeking to appoint two new Trustees.

Candidates should have a good knowledge of Banks

Peninsula; and be passionate about its present and

future. The Trust seeks individuals with the time and

ability to work as part of a voluntary governance

team. An interest in walking and tramping, financial

or negotiation skills would be an asset.

Please visit the Trust’s website

www.roddonaldtrust.co.nz for more information

and to download the Expression of Interest form

located under Documents/Administrative.

Expressions of interest should be emailed to

Resource Management Consultants

It has come to our notice that a

bridge over the widest part of the

Liffey Stream is in the pipeline. No

notification, however, to immediate

neighbours of this plan for the end

of the first walkway on the left of

Ryelands Drive crossing to the land

adjacent to the temporary year 1 and

2 campus of Lincoln Primary School

opposite, with extensive changes to the

walkway included.

I thought the school was temporary

but I could be totally incorrect in

this assumption, perhaps I could be

enlightened. There is already access to

the eastern side of the Liffey via two

bridges in close proximity so I fail to

see the need for spending thousands

of dollars of ratepayers’ money on this

unnecessary addition to our landscape.

District council chief executive

David Ward responds – The

council has been working with the

Lincoln Community Committee for

the past two years on the layout and

conceptual design of a new bridge for

pedestrians and cyclists across the

Liffey Stream and improvements to the

pathways in the Liffey Reserve.

The proposed pathway and bridge

location have recently been approved

by the committee. Additionally,

property owners on Moffat Drive and

Ryelands Drive nearest to the proposed

bridge have also been notified of the

proposal (seven properties in total).

A consent has not yet been lodged for

the proposed bridge, but this process

may require formal notification of the

proposal.

The council is also planning

communication to the wider

community once the details of the

project have been confirmed following

the completion of the consenting

process.

The Lincoln Community Committee

has been very positive about this

project which seeks to improve walking

and cycling connections for local

residents, including school children.

We see the bridge and paths as an

asset to the Lincoln community which

will help open up the reserve to make

it more accessible to the community,

with the bridge as an attractive

landscape feature.

Anyone who has questions or

concerns about the project is welcome

to phone the council on 347 2800

and we would be happy to discuss the

proposal.

•The Selwyn Times asked for and

received further information on the

project from the district council,

including that:

The estimated cost of the timber

bridge is around $100,000.

Currently detailed design is being

undertaken. Depending on consenting,

works are planned to take place

between April and June.

Resource and Building consents

will be required for the bridge, and

consenting requirements may put the

time frames above back, depending on

notification requirements.

The school has leased the site

adjacent to Lincoln Esplanade until

May 2019.

ACHIEVERS

Scholarship for student

New entrants

A DARFIELD teenager who

once struggled to be part of

conversations has risen to

become an outstanding student

since receiving a cochlear

implant.

Jack Dixon, 18, has been awarded

a Southern Hearing Charitable

Trust scholarship to assist him

financially with his study at Lincoln

University.

Having received a cochlear

implant at the age of 11, he fashioned

an impressive leadership,

academic and sporting record

during his five years as a boarder

at St Bede’s College. He was a

prefect in 2016.

Southern Hearing Charitable

Trust chairman David Kent said

Jack was an outstanding young

man and the scholarship would

assist him during study for a

Bachelor of Science degree.

Jack’s desire to become a leader

and role model with the cochlear

implant and deaf communities

was an outstanding attribute as

he would be able to give advice

and potentially assist other teenagers

with cochlear implants who

might be considering tertiary

education.

“His ability to relate to them

will be important,” Mr Kent said.

From once having to struggle

to be a part of conversations, the

cochlear implant has allowed Jack

to actively participate in many

different areas.

“Being physically active is important

to me,” he said.

“I love to go running and participate

in a variety of sports activities.

In my last year at school I

played for the tennis seniors and

was goalkeeper in the under 19

football team.”

Jack’s academic record at St

Bede’s was compelling. He was

awarded academic honours

pockets in 2014 and 2015 for his

achievements in NCEA level one

and two and last year in level

three received excellence endorsement

awards for chemistry,

geography, religious education

and earth and space science and

84 level three excellence credits.

He also won the NZ Federation

for Deaf Children Excellence for

a year 13 student award and was

overall winner in all year levels.

“For my science degree I intend

to major in land, water and

environmental science which will

fit with my deep interest in the

environment and sustainability,”

Jack said.

Dealing with a barking dog

Having a barking dog in your street can be annoying for both

neighbours and dog owners.

It’s a common nuisance, but often it can be successfully resolved,

allowing you to enjoy some peace and quiet. The Council’s Animal

Control team often deals with barking complaints and has a number

of tips on how to resolve them.

“Barking can have a variety of causes,” says Animal Control

Team Leader Steve Clarke. “Boredom, anxiety, loneliness, lack of

exercise, fleas, hunger or a change in home or environment are

common reasons why barking occurs.”

Steve recommends trying to work out what is causing the barking

and trying different things to remedy it. For example if you think your

dog may be bored try leaving them with toys to entertain them. If

you think they may be lonely have someone visit them or drop them

off to a friend or family member so they have some company. For

more advice visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/barking

If the barking doesn’t improve you can try contacting a dog

behaviourist, enrolling your dog in training or contacting the

Council’s Animal Control team on 347 2910 for advice.

If a barking dog nearby is bothering you, try speaking to the owner

initially. “Often issues only occur when no one is home at the

property so the owner isn’t aware of the problem,” says Steve.

If the problem doesn’t improve after speaking with the owner then

you can call the Council’s Animal Control team on 347 2910 to

report a problem. It is helpful to keep a record of when the barking

has occurred as this can help identify what is triggering it.

Over 2,500 people have been enjoyed some of the many events held as part of the Council’s

‘Summer in Selwyn’ event series.

The series has been running since January – with the Teddy Bear’s Picnic drawing a crowd of

around 900 children and their families, not counting the many bears putting in an appearance.

The free outdoor screening of The Goonies at Lincoln also attracted a large crowd of around 250

people to The Green behind the library (pictured).

During March and April Skate Jams are planned at Leeston, Prebbleton, Lincoln, Rolleston, West

Melton and Glentunnel, picnics are planned at Burnham, Prebbleton and Tai Tapu and Music on the

Green is happening at Leeston and Lincoln. Events coming up in the next two weeks are shown in

our events column on the opposite page. For details of later events please visit www.selwyn.govt.

Helping children get to school safely

The Council’s new School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler has had a busy start to her role

and has been working with a number of local schools on safety initiatives.

Stephanie has visited all Selwyn primary schools to provide them with information on bike and scooter

safety information they can display around the school and include in their newsletters.

Together with Constable Rick Groen, School Community Officer she has visited Lemonwood Grove

and West Rolleston Schools. Both schools have new kea crossings operating which are supervised by

parents and staff. Stephanie and Constable Rick helped with training and operating the patrols when

they started. Lemonwood Grove School also received a donation of safety vests from the Selwyn

Women’s Issues group for every student. Stephanie also joined Rolleston Primary School for the

training of their new Road Patrol team.

Greendale School recently received a visit from Constable Rick and Stephanie for bus monitor

training for senior students and bus safety training for the whole school. Pupils have high visibility

safety vests to wear which helps them be seen by motorists when getting on and off the bus and

while they are on roadsides.

Stephanie is also planning to work with West Rolleston School to develop a school travel plan covering

safe walking, cycling and scootering options as well as travel by car.

“It’s a good idea for parents to walk, scoot or bike with their children where possible to teach them

about road safety and how to safely cross roads. High visibility vests are also a good idea and they

should wear a helmet if biking or scootering,” she says. Around schools parents and other motorists

also need to slow down and watch out for children before and after school.

Superannuation visits

Ken Stevens, a case manager from the Ministry of Social Development,

will be visiting Selwyn to answer questions on payments, entitlement,

and any other matters regarding superannuation. Visits are by prior

appointment – to book an appointment please phone (03) 961 9170.

Ken will be visiting these locations:

· Leeston Library and Service Centre on Tuesday 21 March from

Midget champion in

race against time

ACTION: Defending South Island Midget Car

champion David Kerr is hoping to win the title for

an eighth time at Ruapuna Speedway on Saturday.

PHOTO: BRIAN HOPPING

SOUTHBRIDGE’S David

Kerr and his team are in

what he says is “a race

against time” if he is to

defend his South Island

midget car title this

Saturday at Ruapuna

Speedway.

Kerr, a seven-time winner

of the event, said what

started off as a persistent

misfire was now “a bit of a

major” with a strip down

of the engine revealing a

broken valve seat.

“We had been chasing

the misfire for a couple of

shows. What we have now

is an expensive and extensive

piece of machining

being required,” Kerr said.

“I’m quietly confident

that we will get the job

done but it’s been one of

those summers for us with

problems.”

With his racing future

uncertain Kerr, was keen to

pull ahead of Trevor Hall

who also has seven South

Island titles to his name.

“We (the team) are all

getting busier away from

the track and its also getting

harder to find sponsorship

dollars,” he said.

“I can’t really complain

too much. I’ve raced in

nine South Island titles and

won seven, had a second

and a dnf (did not finish).

There’s a bunch of guys

who would do anything to

win just one of them, but

I’m not ready to hand that

old trophy over yet.”

Kerr saw Gary Chadwick

as a real threat, particularly

since he received some help

with his car and engine set

up from former national

champion Peter Hunnibell.

“Since those Auckland

guys gave him a hand,

Gary has been going great.

They’ve really got that car

sorted but realistically

there are others who you

would never right off,” he

said.

“Tom Lumsden (Southbridge),

Glen Durie (Rolleston)

and Nevil Basalaj

(Nelson) all know what it

takes to win big events. A

lot can happen in a 25-lap

race.”

New Winter Arrivals

Beautiful winter pieces are now filling stores to the brim. From

beautiful coats to stylish ankle boots, there are gorgeous

cosy garments ready to wear when we have cooler days.

statement coats are always best purchased very early

in the season when the selection is at its best. We have

pictured the stunning Fever of London coat which has a

fur trim (fur is once again a major trend for winter). This

coat is $379 and is a beautiful tailored fit.

We have also pictured the White Chalk

Dianna top which is casual and quirky

and is an easy and comfortable weekend

piece to wear with your jean ($99). The

fluoro-floral fabric adds an interesting twist

to a classic striped top.

The label Libertine is known for its

beautiful sumptuous fabrics and we

have pictured the edgy navy snakeskin

pull on pants ($129) with the stunning

embossed velvet navy jacket ($219)

Worn under this is the Zafina winter

white phase top which has a stylish

longer chiffon back on it making it

an ideal layering piece ($139 and

also available in dusky pink).

A lot of women will be pleased

to see that skirts are starting

to make their way back into

vogue. We have pictured the

beautiful pleated Random

skirt in navy ($145) with a

pretty floral print Bloom top from

seduce ($129). This is a dressier

look which could take you to any

special occasion.

Winter dresses are always popular

and Augustine certainly knows how

to combine pretty prints and fabrics

to create an incredibly popular label.

We have shown the Augustine Lupe Knit

overdress which has a warm knit top and

chiffon skirt so would be ideal with a pair

of boots and a jacket ($189).

Also pictured are three of the stunning

ankle boots newly-arrived in store.

The navy suede Django &

Juliette boots are $249, navy

metallic silent D boots are 279.90

and the black Django & Juliette boots

are $269.90.

found in New Zealand.

The other, the red admiral, is

endemic to New Zealand.

The yellow admiral was

first collected in 1769-70

when Captain James Cook

circumnavigated New Zealand in

the Endeavour, but the butterfly

is also found in Australia, Lord

Howe and Norfolk Islands.

Admirals lay eggs on stinging

nettle (urtica species) that the

larvae forage on until they are

ready to pupate.

Pupation sites of yellow

PRETTY PATTERN: A yellow admiral butterfly feeding on a

Hebe flower.

admirals are usually away from

the nettle under an over-hang

such as the eaves of a house or a

branch.

Adults feed on nectar from

many flower species but are

fond of larger hebe species and

buddleja (butterfly bush). The

nectar is a ‘reward’ from the

plant to carry the pollen from

plant to plant for pollination.

To attract these beauties to

your garden you need to leave

some stinging nettle for the

female admirals to lay their

eggs on and a range of flowering

plants for the adults.

Two species of wasp parasites

are the yellow admirals’ main

natural enemies in New Zealand.

One these species was introduced

by government entomologists

as a biological control agent

for cabbage white butterfly, but is

now known to attack the pupae

of admirals.

Finally, there are 31 days until

Lincoln’s free Bioblitz event.

New Bar and

Restaurant proves

popular with locals

Since opening last December,

Rolleston’s newest bar and

restaurant has been booked out

every night.

“The response from locals

has been amazing,” says Murray

Davie who with Bernadette

Taylor owns the Silver Dollar

Bar & Restaurant.

This purpose built complex

offers both size and ambience,

making it unique in the

Selwyn area.

The cleverly designed open

plan incorporates a bar, dining

areas including a mezzanine floor, and a

sheltered sunny courtyard. All are spacious

yet offer a degree of separation that allows

intimate conversation and room for a large

gathering.

Murray and Bernadette wanted a rustic,

comfortable look and feel, and this has

certainly been achieved. Natural wood

flooring, clean lines and intimate lighting

with wings stemming from the centralised

entry and bar, provide room to mingle.

The owners have also chosen food and

beverage that has broad appeal. There are

platters and pizzas to share

(the latter also available as a

takeaway), hamburgers for those

wanting some comfort food, and

an a la carte menu which has

been a hit with customers.

There is a great selection of

tasty meals at affordable prices

with mains such as Lamb Rack,

Pork Belly and steak ranging in

price from $25 to $38.50. There

are also plenty of desserts to

choose from: like Crème Brulee,

Apple Crumble or Chocolate

Brownie with icecream.

The Silver Dollar Bar &

Beef Thai Salad (Lunch dish)

Restaurant cater for dietary needs such

as gluten and dairy free and have ten

children’s meal options, priced at just

$7.50.

Murray and Bernadette are enthusiastic

about their new bar and restaurant and

have plans for a little more, with Sunday

courtyard music and quiz nights also in

the pipeline.

Whether wanting to relax over a cold

beer or other beverage, have a coffee

or experience the Silver Dollar Bar &

Restaurant’s dining experience you will

not disappointed.

Corn Fritters (Lunch dish)

The Silver Dollar Bar & Restaurant

is a locally owned business. It is open

11am-11pm seven days a week and can

Gardening

SELWYN TIMES

It’s time to prepare for autumn

DISPLAY: Autumn

colours will soon be

with us but there are

still plenty of jobs to

do in the garden such

as harvesting your

pumpkin patch.

AS WE head towards

autumn, we can reflect

upon an extremely

difficult summer in the

garden.

Right throughout New

Zealand, there have been

incredible variations of

temperatures, rainfall,

wind velocity and cloud

coverage.

A very trying summer

for all, now is the time

for final harvesting

of summer fruit and

vegetables and the

planting of your winter

vegetable garden.

Hopefully, early autumn

rain will bring relief to the

drought-stricken parts of

New Zealand.

Vegetables to be

harvested in March

include beans, beetroot,

cabbage, carrots, celery,

corn, cucumbers,

eggplants, jerusalem

artichokes, lettuce,

melons, onions, potatoes,

pumpkins, radish,

silverbeet, tomatoes and

yams.

You may wish to save

seed for next summer’s

garden. Simply clean and

dry the seed, then store

them in a dry part of your

garden shed.

Don’t forget to clearly

label them.

Prepare areas for your

winter vegetable garden by

thorough digging, adding

compost and ensuring

there is adequate drainage.

Winter veges you can

plant up now (either seed

or young seedlings).

This includes beetroot,

broccoli, brussels sprouts,

cabbage, cauliflower,

carrots, lettuce, onions,

radish, silverbeet, spinach,

swedes and turnip.

Always try and

stagger your plantings

to encourage continuous

harvesting throughout the

season, rather than having

all the vegetables mature

at the same time.

Summer flowering

annuals are nearing the

end of their flowering

season. Time to remove

old plants and prepare

the areas for your

winter displays. Winter

flowering annuals to plant

now include alyssum,

calendulas, cineraria,

cornflower, lobelia,

nemesia, pansy, primulas,

snapdragons, stock and

wallflowers.

Winter flowering

annuals are an excellent

means of brightening

up dull parts of the

garden, either planted in

containers or especially

in rose gardens where

planted roses appear very

bare.

For example, a mass

planting of primula

malacoides looks amazing

in the winter garden.

We are nearing the end

of bulb planting season in

the colder parts of New

Zealand.

As with all plants,

thorough preparation of

the soil prior to planting

the bulbs will produce a

better display in spring.

Bulbs to plant in March

include anemone, daffodil,

hyacinth, ixia, lachenalia,

freesia, ranunculus, sparaxis,

tritonia, tulip and

watsonias.

The last of the peaches,

golden queen, matures in

March. Numerous apple

and pear varieties are now

ripening and eating grapes

are now at their sweetest.

Cover with netting if birds

are a problem.

Peach and nectarine

trees that have cropped

can now be pruned

removing old wood and

retaining enough new

seasons growth for next

season’s fruit. It’s always

a good idea to maintain

tree height at two to three

metres to allow for easier

picking and for netting if

birds become a problem

next season.

When autumn rains

arrive, the renovation

of existing lawns or the

laying of new lawns can

begin. When preparing

your site for a new lawn, it

is advisable to have a slight

slope to allow water to

run off, thereby avoiding

puddling.

gardening without guesswork

The potato tops are yellowing off in an unusual way - and some

Question: of the potatoes are hard and have a ring if you cut them in half,

and are inedible. Is the yellowing a sign of the potato blight?

Can anything be done to prevent it? Another row of potatoes of

a different variety next to this look alright. I am not sure what

varieties they are.

Unfortunately, without a doubt your

Answer: potatoes are infested by the potato,

tomato psyllid, an insect that infects

the plant with a bacteria that turns the tops yellow and causes

the potato to have the symptoms described.

Once infected there is no cure, only prevention for the next

season’s crop.

This is best done by a spray programme during the whole

growing season using an insecticide. Your local garden centre

will have sprays to help.

We recommend following the instructions exactly as stated on

the packaging, especially when to stop before harvesting.

Crop rotation is another way to help reduce disease.

It’s all about autumn in the

garden. Here’s what you need to

prioritise this month

Words & Photos Rachel Vogan

Welcome to autumn. For the next three

months, it is all about picking ripe produce,

preserving any excess and replenishing the

hard-working soil in preparation for the next

lot of planting in the edible garden.

With soil being the engine room of the

garden, it’s vital you refuel the earth with

organic matter and nutrients before planting

out autumn and winter crops. Homemade

compost is an easy and economical way to do

this and digging it in is always good exercise.

Well-rotted animal manures do the job,

too, giving the soil a boost and acting like a

moisture-retentive sponge. The bonus is that it

feeds the worms at the same time. My garden

gets both of these and a good sprinkle of

general fertiliser before the next crops go in.

Vegetables

Numerous crops are ripe for the picking now;

sweet corn, beans, tomatoes, chillies, eggplants,

courgettes and cucumbers are all in season. The

best time of day to harvest is first thing in the

morning or early evening, try to leave the stalk

on anything that has one. Leave sweet corn in its

husk too, as this extends the shelf life for a good

week or two.

Before planting out any new seedlings or

sowing seeds, replenish the soil with nutrients

and organic matter. All brassica seedlings can be

planted out now, remember to allow

plenty of room between each plant,

50cm at least. Sow new rows of root

crops like carrots, radish and beetroot.

Top

tasks

Hedges

Autumn is a good time to get on top of hedge

trimming, especially before the growth slows down

in another couple of months. Use the sharpest tools

you have – blunt tools make the job so much harder

and often cause scraggy edges that can result in

dieback and dead patches. Use string lines to help

keep your lines straight or try using a can of Dazzle

to mark out your lines. Aim to have the bottom of

the hedge slightly wider than the top to allow more

light to get to the lower leaves.

Fruit

Apples, pears, medlars and quinces are all plumping up. If trees are

heavily laden with fruit, thin out excess clusters to allow the fruit to

mature to a larger size. If you don’t get around to doing this, trees may

abort the excess fruit that they cannot sustain. This isn’t a problem, but it

does sap more energy out of the plant, so by doing it for the tree, you will

get a better result.

Evergreen fruits such a feijoa, Chilean guava and citrus would all enjoy

a side-dressing of fertiliser now. Sprinkle it around the drip line and water

in deeply.

Bulbs

Start sourcing new season bulbs now.

The shops are fully stocked with the new

season’s varieties and offering very good

specials for large quantities. In the home

garden, now is the time to be lifting and

digging clumps of existing bulbs. Gently

ease the fork under the area

and tease away the bulbs

carefully. If need be, bulbs

can be left above ground, in

a cool dry spot away from

direct sunlight, for a number

of weeks. Aim to have them

in the ground by the end of

April.

Roses

It’s all about deadheading,

watering and feeding for

these hard-working shrubs

at the moment. Trim back

spent flower heads to a new

set of leaves, as removing

the dead flowers speeds up

the re-flowering process. An

application of rose food now

will give the plants a welcome

feed leading into the cooler

months. This not only nourishes

the plant, but helps keep it

healthy, which lowers the risks

of it succumbing to pest attack

and disease. If the autumn

rains haven’t arrived, keep the

fluids up to your plants; a deep

soaking once or twice a week

will keep them in top form.

PrePare for the

By now most of your summer vegetables will have done

their dash and will be ready to be removed. Get rid of

the plants as soon as they are all done, and get ready to

prepare the beds for the next round of planting. To replace

the nutrients that the last plants have used, you will

need to add Organic Compost, Blood and Bone and some

Sheep Pellets. This will help to create a great growing

environment for your winter veggies. Are wanting to start

a new garden beg, or raised planter, our Veggie Garden

Mix is an excellent option, as is our Garden Soil Mix. Our

DARFIELD

SELWYN TIMES

Darfield - a Town on

the Canterbury Plains

Darfield traces its origins back to the

1800s; first serving as a farming support

town then a key station and largest town

on the Midland railway line, between

Christchurch and the West Coast.

Strategically placed, Darfield sits at a

junction of roads leading east to the city,

over the Southern Alps, inland along

highway 77 to highway 72 and out to state

highway 1. The Waimakariri River is also

not far away, giving a clue to the fertile

surrounding farmland that supports grain

growing as well as sheep, beef and dairy

farming.

Sitting under the north-west arch, the

town has schools (preschools, primary and

secondary), community groups, playing

fields, interest and sports clubs, walkways,

good shopping and more.

Sport is well supported whether it is

rugby, netball, tennis, indoor or outdoor

bowls, running, squash, swimming, tennis,

shooting, equestrian, BMX, skate-boarding,

motor sports or fishing. Artistic and musical

pursuits and instruction are also available

as are youth and community groups, and

Anglican, Baptist, contemporary and

Roman Catholic churches.

All contribute to make Darfield an ideal

satellite town for Christchurch, popular

with families, explaining why Darfield’s

population increased dramatically from

830 in 1971 to 1,935 in 2013, when people

looked for homes elsewhere after the

Christchurch earthquakes.

Undeterred by Darfield being a short

distance from the September 2010 7.1

earthquake, people moved to the town for

reasons such as: solid building ground,

a country feel, great facilities, a strong

community, and work at Fonterra’s

nearby milk processing plant, enjoying

all that the town has to offer.

The town has a diverse range of shops

and businesses, many of which line South

Terrace (its main street). There is a mini

supermarket, pharmacy, drapery, bookshop,

art, gift, craft and garden supplies stores, as

well as service providers, farming suppliers

and manufacturing businesses. Health

care includes doctors, physiotherapy and a

hospital and there are other services such

as a library, volunteer fire brigade, hotel

and motel accommodation.

Make Darfield a day out. Browse the

shops for interesting curios, something

different, or to stock up on supplies. Stroll

along South Terrace, and its history is there

to find from the old prison and Tussock

Square where much can be learned to its

war memorial at the western end of town.

For a little more exercise, a pleasant walk

is from the Darfield Domain along Hornden

Street and through McHughs Plantation.

Take a picnic, pick up a takeaway or pop

into one of the well patronised cafés or

restaurants afterwards for a coffee, snack or

meal. You will find delicious food served in

pleasant surroundings, from dawn though

to later in the evening.

Visit in spring, and the blossom trees

lining the main street will be in flower. They

promise an end to the snow, something

that Darfield gets a little of, with it slightly

higher than Kirwee which is just five

minutes’ drive east, giving another reason

to pop into this interesting town.

Farmlands Darfield

Our new store yard is nearing completion!

Make sure you come and check it out while

picking up all your rural requirements.

Farmlands Darfield will be attending the

Opportunity for sheep

farmers to benchmark flocks

Canterbury sheep farmers are invited

to enter the nationwide New Zealand Ewe

Hogget competition, with entries now

open.

This unique hogget competition gives

farmers the opportunity to benchmark

their flocks against others at both local

and national level as well as giving them

the chance to compare different farming

systems and learn from other competitors

as well as the judging panel.

“The achievments of New Zealand

farmers deserve more recognition and

acknowledgement,” national convemor

Stephen Rabbidge says.

“The New Zealand Ewe Hogget

competition is in its 21st year and continues

to grow momentum in promoting

excellence within the sheep industry. It is

now more important than ever for sheep

farmers to have an efficient and profitable

business. This competition provides the

ideal opportunity for entrants to compete

and compare to ensure future success,” Mr

Rabbidge says.

North Island entries close on April 10

and South Island entries on April 21,

with judging to follow. The National Final

Judging will take place in the North Island

on April 22-24 and in the South Island on

May 1-4.

For the first time the presentation dinner

is to take place in Napier on June 8, where

all breed finalists will receive their awards.

The overall winner will be announced at

the end of the evening. The competition

will conclude later in the year with a field

day on the winner’s property.

Competition organisers thank the

sponsors, Alliance Group, MerialAncare,

New Zealand Sheepbreeders, Ballance

Agri-Nutrients, Beef+Lamb New

Zealand, NZ Farmer, and PGG Wrightson

Livestock, for their belief in this grassroots

competition. Greg Burgess of New Zealand

Sheepbreeders’ Assn offers a “massive

thanks to the many volunteers who believe

in this competition, contacting farmers

encouraging entries, and giving up their

time and effort for the duration of this

event.”

It is now more important

than ever for sheep

farmers to have an

efficient and profitable

business.

Farmers warned

to watch for

velvetleaf

The pest plant velvetleaf should be high

on cropping farmers’ minds over the next

few months, Environment Canterbury

says. The Ministry for Primary Industries

recently sent out an alert to this effect – it is

on the website www.mpi.govt.nz/alerts.

“Left to spread, this invasive pest can

quickly impact crops, severely reducing

yield and grazing capacity, and impose high

costs through lost productivity, increased

stock management and lost income,”

Environment Canterbury principal

management advisor biosecurity Laurence

Smith says.

Velvetleaf was introduced to New

Zealand as a contaminant in fodder beet

seed from Europe in 2015.

“With over 500 farms having received

at least one of the six affected seed lines in

Canterbury, there is a real risk of spread

both within and to other properties,” Mr

Smith says.

“Not all plants will have been found so it

is highly likely seed will have matured and

contributed to a seed bank in the soil.

“Farmers will need to be vigilant this

season, which runs until May. They should

search crops to prevent seeding and make

sure seed is not spread by stock, vehicles

and machinery.”

The Ministry for Primary Industries is

managing the velvetleaf incursion response

nationally and is assisting farmers with

information and advice.

Environment Canterbury, in partnership

with MPI, is helping affected farmers

formulate plans to manage the pest and

prevent its spread.

“Your farm management plan should

include on-farm biosecurity so preventing

the spread of velvetleaf and other pests is

top of mind at all times,” Mr Smith says.

“Farmers can implement farm biosecurity

measures on their land by making sure they

are notified when people intend to enter

their property and implementing hygiene

protocols such as checking and cleaning

machines and vehicles.”

If you have found velvetleaf or would like

more information, contact the Ministry for

Primary Industries on 0800 80 99 66.

For free farm biosecurity signs for

your property contact Environment

Canterbury at ecinfo@ecan.govt.nz.

Outdoor

Splendour

Just as any other room in

your home requires planning,

so do outdoor spaces.

We look at a few areas that

bear some careful

consideration to achieve a

functional, stylish and

relaxing backyard retreat

this summer.

Vondom

Outdoor rooms have their own unique

challenges. As well as giving thought to

architectural style, colour palettes, traffic

flow, spatial requirements and comfort,

it’s important to factor in shelter from the

elements and privacy from the next-door

neighbours.

Important things to consider if you

are reinventing your outdoor area from

scratch or embarking on a big project are

orientation and layout. Exposure to sun and

protection from the wind, proximity to the

house, pool, and views, and consideration

for the kinds of activities to accommodate

cooking, dining, entertaining, lounging,

and sun bathing, are also essential elements

to think about.

If you’re contemplating tackling a largescale

project or even if your outdoor

area could benefit from some bespoke

elements, employ a landscape architect

and an interior designer (many of whom

have experience designing outdoor areas).

Many have the ability to successfully design

and manufacture custom-made furniture

to suit your specific needs or have access

to discounted products that will save you

money.By bringing in the professionals,

you can rely on their extensive knowledge

and experience to design a functional and

beautiful space you will love entertaining

and relaxing in.

Consider access between indoor

preparation areas to outdoor dining areas

for optimal practicality. Ideally your

outdoor area should be easily accessible

from the house, with food preparation

areas located near your indoor kitchen to

reduce trips back and forth.

If this is not a viable option you may

want to think about designing a dedicated

area outdoors to a combined cooking and

dining area.

Heating is an additional benefit, which

will enable you to enjoy your outdoor

areas in comfort for longer. Investigate the

variety of options on the market that best

suits your requirements and current set up.

Integrate an awning or sun sails to patios

adjoining the house or a sturdy multidirectional

umbrella for shade over dining

and lounge areas.

Gazebos and pergolas are stand-alone

structures at the bottom of the garden or

beside the pool are a good way to provide

respite from the sun and wind.

Always work together with your designer

or builder to ensure the style of any standalone

structure is in keeping with the

architecture of your home for a cohesive

look.

Make small fixes

Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes,

and correct the flaws that are most

egregious (if affordable) or can be

relatively easily fixed—from repairing

cracks in the walkways to repainting

dingy walls or oiling creaky hinges.

Select the best real estate agent

For a commission, an agent will take care

of many details you may not want to be

bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls,

making signs, etc.) and bring experience

to the table. To find a good one, ask

friends and relatives, then interview

several candidates.

more spacious and buyers can imagine

Stay vigiliant about maintenance

Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed,

gardens weeded, rooms spotless and

clutter-free.

Ready your home for open days

Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh

flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of

cookies for the homey smell, open the

drapes, keep pets out of sight.

Decide whether to do your own

building inspection

It may save you time, especially with

older homes, to identify—and potentially

solve—problems your buyer’s inspection

will discover later.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections

The success

of Faringdon

in the Selwyn District

Faringdon began in 2013 and in four years has grown at

amazing speed with 1,200 sections sold; a figure which

exceeded all the developer’s expectations.

Of the latest three phases under

construction, stage seventeen is almost

finished with ninety percent sold and

titles expected in two weeks. Stage

eighteen is eighty percent sold with

titles due in April, and stage nineteen

for which titles are scheduled to be

released in July, is already fifty percent

sold.

Currently engineering drawings

are being completed for stage twenty

with just five more stages planned for

what will be known as Faringdon. The

developers are considering releasing

stage twenty early, due to the demand

for sections with sales made every

weekend; a reflection of the growth of

Rolleston.

“People are attracted to Faringdon

for lifestyle reasons,” suggests Bruce

Harvey, Hughes Development

Marketing Director. “People were

looking for what Faringdon offers.

It’s met their expectations, many of

whom rented in Faringdon and loved

it so much they decided to build

there. Thirty percent of our buyers are

Rolleston people.”

The design of Faringdon was based

on Northwood. In each case, a master

plan has been created with an end in

mind so a complete package is offered.

This includes extensive reserve areas

for the community to enjoy and wider

roads giving a perception of space.

The latest three stages constitute

approximately 200 lots, representing

two thirds of the land recently

purchased from the Meadows

family. This borders the south side of

Faringdon close to the new primary

Ladbrooks - Lincoln

school, Lemonwood Grove which

opened this year.

Close to sixty students began at

Lemonwood Grove on day one, with

the school already having the capacity

for 450 students and plans in place

for further expansion to cater for

approximately 750 students.

Bruce says that the new primary

and secondary schools have been

real attractions for those considering

Faringdon, along with the

sportsgrounds and popular aquatic

centre as all are within walking

distance, as is the town centre.

Greenspace has been generously

allocated in every stage with thought

being given to a tennis court facility in

stage nineteen, that will be attractively

landscaped to fit with its surrounding

environment to become a focal point

and gathering place for residents.

The retail precinct has also expanded

Faringdon’s infrastructure. South Point

is due to open at the end of March this

year with ninety percent already leased.

This will include Hooked Fish & Chips,

The Selwyn School of Dance, A Pocket

Full of Spices, The Pedal Pusher, New

Order Clothing and Accessories, and

Faringdon Convenience Store and Post

Shop.

There is also a new impressive show

home village planned for Faringdon

in 2017, where a good number of

the major building companies will

be able to showcase what they offer.

Bruce says this will be the largest show

Show Homes - the ultimate

way to shop around

13

Across the Selwyn district, we are blessed with an extensive

array of very good quality show homes.

Building companies build show

homes to demonstrate their workmanship,

display innovative design ideas and present

a snapshot into a new and luxurious

lifestyle, featuring all the latest in materials,

fittings and fixtures.

A show home can inspire you in a way

nothing else can. You can absorb the

ambiance they present and admire the

innovative techniques, new materials

and technology.

You can ask questions, take notes and

compare. You can see at a glance features

you would love to emulate or would avoid

when building your home.

Best of all, you will see the building

companies’ attention to detail.

Show homes are the perfect way to get a

good idea of pricing, discover good quality

and value, learn about superior use of space,

future-proofing, ongoing maintenance and

long-term returns.

So what are you waiting for? Check out

our maps, grab a notepad and pencil and

begin the exciting project of building your

own home.

Ange brought her favourite

orange lights to us.

So we worked with her to build a

colour palette around them.
