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.

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.

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,

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.
People kept asking you to do
more?
That’s right, I would be a delegate
for something or something
needed to be done and I would
just do it because it was easier
than finding somebody else.

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
7200 sq m, will open their doors
late this year. These stores plan
to employ about 60 full-time
staff. Rolleston Retail leasing
agent Jeff Vesey said there
would also be a range of retail,
service and health tenants.

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.
•To register or find out
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.

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

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.

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

you can get there as well,” Brettkelly

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

Backyard critters
Use nettle to attract admiral butterflies
Mike Bowie is
an ecologist
who
specialises in
entomology
(insects and other
invertebrates). Each
week he introduces a
new species found in
his backyard at Lincoln.
His column aims to
raise public awareness
of biodiversity, the
variety of living things
around us
THE YELLOW admiral
butterfly, kahu kowhai (vanessa
itea) is one of two admirals
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 &

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
friendly team will help you choose the right product for
whatever it is you are planning to plant.

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.

DARFIELD
Darfield has it all
During the week, Darfield is a busy town
with locals as well as travellers passing
through and stopping to take advantage of
what is on offer, while people living further
afield head there for a day out.
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
South Island Agricultural Field Days, come
and see the friendly team for some great
advice and great prices, site 564.

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.

This large home set on 2013sqm, sure packs a punch! With
more than enough room for everyone & everything, unpacking
will be a breeze. There´s no shortage of parking
space for the caravan or boat. Find your own spot in the
separate lounge, chill with a book in the open plan living, or
prepare a meal for the masses in the equipped modern
kitchen. In the warm months, this will rarely be used, as you´ll
be entertaining on the expansive deck & BBQ area. But who’ll
get which bedroom with 5 to choose from? Our pick, the
master with ensuite, complete with double tiled shower &
WIR, where you´ll look out to your private paradise. If this all
sounds tempting, then call us today for the grand tour.

Checklist for selling
your home
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.
Set a price
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the
market. Check out
comparable listings
yourself in the real
estate section of
your newspaper or
on websites. Then

it away, sell it at a garage sale, or put
it into storage—so the house seems
more spacious and buyers can imagine
themselves in it.
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.
