Report 

to show 

impact of 

freedom 

camping 

Linda Miratana has transformed the Lincoln Event Centre into a popular place for group gym 

classes. Read about how and why her classes have proved so popular on page 8. 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A NEW report on the impact 

freedom camping is having on 

the district may not be released 

for another four months. 

The report was presented 

last week by the district 

council as part of an internal 

briefing on freedom 

camping for its councillors. 

District council chief 

Craig 

Watson 

executive David Ward said 

the report would not yet be 

released because district 

council staff were discussing the 

survey results with neighbouring 

councils. 

This is to establish a Canterbury-wide 

response to issues 

caused by freedom camping. 

The report, compiled over the 

Christmas break, surveyed freedom 

campers to gather information 

on their demographics 

and reasons for using 

camping areas. 

Selwyn Times was told 

more than 100 people were 

surveyed as part of the 

report. 

District councillor Craig 

Watson said pressure is being 

put on the district after 

the Christchurch City Council 

changed its freedom camping 

rules last year.

IT IS a bit of a sporting edition 

of Selwyn Times this week. 

The UC Championships, the 

schoolboy rugby competition, 

started at the weekend and 

Lincoln Combined got off to a 

great start against city boys of St 

Bede’s College (page 12). Lincoln 

Combined had had a rough 

season last year, with just one 

win, but lets hope the lads can 

keep up the momentum as they 

head to Nelson this weekend. 

West Melton’s Ben Taylor has 

had a cracker year. Not only has 

he been part of the winning St 

Andrew’s College Maadi Cup 

squad, but now he has been 

named in the national junior 

rowing team (page 13).

Strong support for RSA plans 

ashion 

• By Tom Doudney and Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

PLANS FOR a new Returned 

and Services Association to 

be established in Rolleston 

have received a strong wave of 

support from members at the 

Templeton RSA. 

It is proposed for a new RSA 

to be established, co-locating the 

Templeton RSA and the Regi- 

Gardening 

mental History Centre based at 

Burnham Military Camp. 

At a special general meeting 

held with the Templeton RSA 

on Sunday, 63 members voted 

for the organisation to move to 

Rolleston while three members 

voted against the proposal. 

Templeton RSA president 

John Rae said while plans for the 

Motoring 

new RSA is the early stages, 

the organisation is excited for 

the move. 

“We do hear of RSAs closing 

throughout the country and 

to have one opening I think is 

something you can be proud of,” 

he said. 

Mr Rae said the new 

Tasty Bites 

relationship between the 

history centre and RSA will 

be positive not only for the 

two organisations but for the 

community in Rolleston. 

NEW PLANS: Regimental History Centre chairman David 

Clarkson said the centre would like to move out of the 

Burnham Military Camp so it is more accessible to the 

public. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

The Regimental History 

Centre, which is a sub group 

of the Canterbury Regiment 

Association displays a 

significant collection of South 

Island military history. 

Items on display at the 

centre includes replicas of 

New Zealand soldier Charles 

Upham’s medals and a bass 

drum that went ashore at 

Gallipoli in 1915 containing 

shell dressings applied to the 

wounds of soldiers. 

Regimental History Centre 

chairman David Clarkson said 

the centre would like to move 

out of the military camp so it is 

more accessible to the public. 

“There are security issues and 

it takes quite a bit of effort to get 

people into the camp,” he said. 

Mr Clarkson said if people 

want to come see the displays 

they have to go through the 

camp’s guard house, give proof 

of their identity and have people 

monitor them while they are on 

site. 

He said Rolleston would be 

a good place for the centre due 

to its population base and a 

number of people who live in 

the area are associated to the 

military camp. 

“We would be quite happy to 

be on a site which is associated 

with the RSA . . . it is like 

us, an integral part of the 

community and with a military 

background,” he said. 

A location for the RSA is still 

yet to be decided on.

In Brief 

FIRE IN SCHOOL 

A group of youths started a 

fire in a Rolleston school on 

Thursday night. Emergency 

services were called to 

Clearview Primary on 

Broadlands Dr at about 9.45pm 

and found a fire near the fence 

about 2x2m big. When police 

arrived the group ran. They 

conducted an area search but 

didn’t find any of the youths. 

“The caretaker has said this is 

an ongoing problem,” Sergeant 

Alex Pickover said. 

LASER POINTED AT PLANE 

Police are looking for a person 

who shone a laser into a 

southbound flight on Thursday 

night. Air traffic control 

contacted the Rolleston police 

to report the laser strike that 

happened between 6.30-7pm. 

The Mt Cook Airline flight was 

at about 8000ft when there was 

a brief strike in the cockpit, 

but it did not affect the flight. 

Sergeant Alex Pickover said it is 

believed the offender who shone 

the laser could have been near 

Birdlings Flat or Lake Ellesmere 

and police searched the area but 

didn’t find anyone. If you have 

any information phone

specialises in 

entomology

new species found in 

his backyard at Lincoln. 

His column aims to raise 

public awareness of 

biodiversity, the variety of 

living things around us: 

IF YOU have ever grown 

broccoli, cauliflower and 

cabbages you will have cursed 

the white butterfly caterpillars 

that can massacre your brassica 

crops. 

Pieris rapae is the scientific 

name for this destructive species 

of cruciferous farm and garden 

crops which is more commonly 

seen as a ubiquitous white 

butterfly. 

The species arrived in New 

Zealand in 1929 and quickly 

became a widespread pest 

of brassica crops, including 

cabbage, throughout the country. 

The wingspan of the butterfly 

ranges from 32-47mm and the

females have two on each. 

The female butterflies can 

survive for three weeks and flies

to have flown 12km in a single 

flight.

Vandals hit park 

ashion 


A SPATE of vandalism has 

struck at a park leaving the 

community to clean up the 

mess. 

An increase in the number of 

incidents damaging Doyleston’s 

Gardening 

Osborne Park over the past week 

has been “disheartening” for 

volunteers. 

The park has become a target 

for minor crime with damage 

including lawn mower fuel 

stolen from the park’s hall, grass 

ripped up by mud grip tyres and 

a plaque donated by the Osborne 

TARGET: The hall at Osborne Park has been broken into 

family torn off recently. 

Motoring 

recently with fuel for the lawn mowers stolen. Inset: Murray 

In a bid reduce vandalism, 

Lemon. 

padlocks the park have been 

changed and the Doyleston the wonderful condition for the 

Community Committee will 

consult the district council on 

cost-effective ways to have cameras 

installed. 

Committee member Jack 

Pearcy said while there has been 

Tasty 

the occasional incident with 

Bites 

the 

park, the trouble has escalated 

over the past week. 

“You get young stupid idiots disheartening. 

wrecking the place where two 

or three very dedicated people 

are keeping Osborne Park in 

public viewers,” he said. 

He said volunteers had worked 

hard to maintain the park and 

keep the ratepayer money down 

and the vandals needed a kick. 

A volunteer who did not 

want to be named, out of fear of 

retaliation said what had been 

done in the past week had been 

“It is just people who haven’t 

got a lot to do. . . we seem to be 

copping it at the moment. 

Senior constable Lois 

Willis Croft said police are 

investigating the vandalism and 

have a lead as to who may be 

causing the destruction. 

District councillor Murray 

Lemon said he would be happy 

to support what is decided by 

the Doyleston Community 

Committee to address the issues. 

But he said while cameras 

can capture useful information, 

it is still difficult to identify 

offenders. 

INFLUX: The 

Coes Ford 

camping 

ground is one 

of the areas 

in Selwyn 

to have had 

an increase 

in freedom 

campers over 

the past year. 

Freedom camping report 

•From page 1 

Cr Watson said: “(Christchurch 

City Council) took a 

very poor view in my opinion, 

which was to effectively ban all 

freedom camping in their entire 

council area, which has pushed 

those wanting to be close to 

Christchurch out to us and the 

Waimakariri,” he said. 

Last year, the Christchurch 

City Council changed its 

freedom camping bylaw to ban 

campers without toilets from 

council-owned land. 

This was after facilities became 

over-crowded, unsanitary and 

out-of-control in the 2015/16, 

summer causing residents to 

complain. 

Five locations in Christchurch 

and Banks Peninsula, including 

the Lower Styx River car park 

and the Addington Reserve car 

park, were closed to campers. 

Cr Watson said it is about ensuring 

the district has the right 

infrastructure to cope, as well as 

communicating to the campers 

about etiquette. 

District councillor Jeff Bland 

said he would like to see a push 

by central Government on 

communication with tourists to 

re-enforce the country’s expectations 

of the freedom campers. 

He said while he doesn’t have 

a problem with people having 

a cheap holiday, “irresponsible 

campers” should not get away 

with being unhygienic.

Service.

Big turnout at 

Anzac service 

A STRONG community 

presence for the Lincoln Anzac 

service has been praised by 

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton. 

About 700 people attended the 

event held at the Lincoln Event 

Centre, adjacent to the Lincoln 

war memorial. 

“As I look around at the young 

ones contributing to this service 

. . . it emphasises that we must 

make good on the sacrifices 

made by earlier generations 

and ensure that today’s youth 

have a community and a society 

in which they can truly fulfil 

themselves,” Mr Broughton said. 

Lincoln Community Anzac 

Day Service Committee member 

Ian Collins said the turnout 

which has been similar to the 

past two years delighted the 

organisers. 

He said it was a sign of ongoing 

community spirit and 

appreciation for the wartime 

sacrifices of those from Lincoln 

and elsewhere. 

IT WAS no ordinary day at a 

holiday programme in Rolleston 

with New Zealand’s youngest 

Rio paralympian giving 

children a school holidays 

highlight. 

Double bronze medallist 

paralympian, William Stedman, 

17, visited Sport Canterbury’s 

Active Kids holiday programme 

in Rolleston last week. 

Stedman brought his bronze 

medals, joined in on the morning 

athletics session, challenged 

the children to a running race 

and talked about his career path 

into the world of paralympics. 

Sport Canterbury Active 

Kids manager Jules Wilke said 

children had the chance to ask 

Stedman questions about the 

games. 

“William led the athletics 

“Run Jump Throw” session and 

enjoyed meeting children who, 

much like himself, started out 

with dreams of representing 

New Zealand,” she said. 

Children also went swimming 

at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, 

had a training session with 

Canterbury Country Cricket 

and completed an orienteering 

course at Halswell Quarry. 

The Sport Canterbury’s Active 

Kids holiday programmes are 

specifically designed to cater for 

ages five to 13. 

SURPRISE: Double bronze 

medalist paralympian, 

William Stedman, visited 

Sport Canterbury’s Active 

Kids holiday programme in 

Rolleston last week. 

ADVENTURE: Children had the chance to complete an 

orienteering course as part of the holiday programme in 

Rolleston.

HIGH ACHIEVER: Gym instructor Linda Miratana was 

recognised with two awards from the New Zealand Exercise 

Industry last year.

With 23 years of working as a gym instructor under her belt, Linda Miratana has 

transformed the Lincoln Event Centre into a popular place for group gym classes. 

Georgia O’Connor-Harding spoke to her about what brought her to Lincoln 

What does your job involve at 

the Lincoln Event Centre? 

I am the assistant manager 

here. I have been in that role 

for three years. I did work here 

prior to that just part-time, but 

then took on the full-time role 

as assistant manager. I teach 

group fitness and manage the 

group instructors here. I am the 

group fitness manager in both 

centres in Rolleston and Lincoln. 

I am often here first thing in 

the morning for my day job and 

I am often here at nighttime 

teaching classes too. I just need a 

bed at my desk and I will be fine. 

What has kept you here so 

long? 

It is such a great community. 

After working here I moved here 

because I loved it so much. I 

used to live in Templeton. I live 

just two minutes away, which 

can be good and bad because 

sometimes I am the person on 

call.

Awards last year? 

That was fantastic, so exciting 

for me. I have been teaching 

for 23 years and it was really 

nice to be recognised. Without 

me knowing they sent a person 

into my classes and they did 

the whole class then they had to 

report back. It was a really nice 

feeling, but I stay grounded because 

I love doing it more than 

anything else. 

Do you have rough days? 

How do you push yourself 

through? 

You play your music and that 

usually gives you a lift. There 

may just be the odd day where 

you feel tired but, honestly, as 

soon as you get that music going 

it gives you a boost. Plus the people 

– I always look at the people 

and think these people have 

come here for me tonight. They 

can go to any instructor but they 

chose to come here to my class. 

Do you have any specific 

way to get people involved in 

classes? 

I will talk to people and reassure 

them. There are a couple 

of ladies in their 70s as well as 

a 21-year-old and all ages in 

between in my classes. I have all 

different levels of fitness. You 

can go in the back, hide in the 

corner and give them lots of 

options to make it easier. Two 

months down the track people 

in our beginners classes are addicted 

too. 

What are your favourite 

classes to do? 

Definitely not dance because 

I can’t. I am useless. Yoga I need 

to do more of but don’t. I tend to 

like classes more intense. Spin 

and pump are my favourite. 

They are hard but give you good 

results. It was pump I got awards 

for. I have done a couple of 

presentations, such as the FITEX 

(conference for the New Zealand 

fitness and exercise industry) 

last year. I presented a workshop 

on pump, which is the first time 

I have done that and I have applied 

to do it again this year as 

well. 

How do you come up with 

ideas for choreography of your 

classes? 

I go to lots of fitness conferences 

and try to get ideas.

Lincoln residents all pumped up 

Ideas for songs – I play the 

music channel on television 

a lot. Music in my car when I 

am driving and I have got the 

Shazam app so if I hear a song on 

the radio I can tell straight away 

it would be a great pump or spin 

song and I can then create my 

song from that. I have found the 

longer I have been here – because 

I have such a good base of people 

that keep coming back – we 

are all getting stronger, so it is 

making my tracks a little harder 

now. If we go back two years ago 

and do a class I used to teach, it 

would be so much easier. 

Do you have a favourite go to 

snack? 

Not really a favourite, but a go 

to just before my class is a tin of 

tuna for energy. I eat it before 

my pump class and it gives me 

so much energy and strength 

but it is not that pleasant. Other 

snacks are nuts and I often have 

a sneaky bit of dark chocolate. I 

am a bit of a health nut with my 

food. 

Are you from the United 

Kingdom and what brought you 

here? 

I was born in London but lived 

in Yorkshire until I was 18, then 

I went to Blackpool and The 

Fylde College and did catering

from her class to enter the PhysioMed Women’s Triathlon or Duathlon in February. 

and hotel management for three 

years. It was while I was on that 

course I met a Kiwi and married 

him over there when I was 21 

and have been in New Zealand 

ever since. I am sure if I had still 

been over there I never would 

have found my group fitness. It 

was through coming here, I had 

only been here for a few days and 

my new sister-in-law took me 

into Les Mills. And after a few 

years, they asked me if I would 

be interested in being a trainee 

teacher and that is how I started 

my career in fitness. 

Do you have a life motto? 

I just like to be a good role 

model, and practice what I 

preach, and sell the benefits of 

what we do. It is a good addiction 

to have. It just makes me happy 

what I do. 

What is one of your 

biggest achievements at the 

centre? 

We had a group from 

the centre that entered the 

PhysioMed women’s triathlon 

or duathlon. We had 25 of our 

ladies from classes that entered 

it in February. Some had never 

ran before and it was a great 

event where we all supported 

one another, not only with our 

training, but also on the day. 

Everybody wore the same top, 

which read on the front ‘Dream, 

Believe, Inspire, Achieve,’ which 

has now become our fitness 

motto. 

Do you have any goals you 

would like to achieve? 

Probably to just get more 

involved in presenting and 

to make sure that, ultimately, 

when my time comes to not be 

here, the centre can still provide 

great quality classes. I want 

to continue mentoring new 

instructors, because if I was to 

go, I don’t want gym classes to 

change here. So I need a strong 

base of instructors to carry on 

what I have started here. I would 

hate to go and for the place to go 

back to where it was.

PAUL WILLIAMS has never shied away 

from taking on the sporting world in 

spite of only having one able arm. 

“It is an advantage, I think, because it 

makes you want to beat able-body people,” 

he said. 

That is exactly what the Rolleston 

resident did recently by winning the lawn 

bowls champion of champions men’s 

colts singles against Colin Stoddart, of 

Halswell, 21-15. 

He said it was good to get a Canterbury 

title under his belt so early in his career. 

Williams, 54, was born without his left 

arm. He said doctors had never been able 

to determine why. 

“It was around the time of the drug 

thalidomide, but my mother did not 

think she took the sickness pills. They 

could never pin-point what caused it,” he 

said. 

Williams first joined the West Melton 

Bowling Club about two years ago after 

sustaining injuries from over-using his 

arm playing golf. 

Having always had a passion for sports, 

he first began playing soccer at the age of 

five before delving into rugby, badminton 

and squash. 

After his first win, Williams will now 

take a break with the lawn bowling 

season not set to start up again until

LINCOLN’S Hannah Bates 

has returned home from 

the Australian Age Group 

Swimming Championships with 

a gold and silver medal. 

Bates, 16, made her first 

experience representing New 

Zealand one to remember 

by winning two medals and 

smashing a number of personal 

best times at the championships 

held in Brisbane late last month. 

She first won gold in the girls 

16-years 400m individual medley. 

Her time of 4min 53.21sec in 

the final was 8sec better than her 

previous personal best. 

Bates then grabbed her second 

medal two days later when she 

produced another personal 

best to win silver in the individual 

medley in a time of 2min 

18.69sec. 

She was the only South Island 

member of the 23 strong New 

Zealand team in Brisbane and 

the first ever representative from 

the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

The future looks exciting for 

Bates, who has also been named 

to the short-list for the New 

Zealand team for the 2017 Commonwealth 

Youth Games in the 

Bahamas.

Maadi Cup stars make national team 

SPORTS 

• By Andrew King 

THEY TOOK on the best in the 

country, now Ben Taylor, of West 

Melton, and Thomas Russel, of St 

Albans, will take on the world. 

The duo have been named in the 

national junior rowing team. 

The two 17-year-old St Andrew’s 

College students were a part of 

the winning Maadi Cup squad 

which not only brought back 

the top prize for the first time 

in the college’s history, but the 

Springbok Shield as well. 

They will row in the four 

coxless at the junior world 

rowing championships in Trakai, 

Lithuania, from August 2-6. 

Rowing is in Taylor’s blood, 

the last time the school raised 

the shield was when his father, 

Andrew, was in the boat 34 years 

ago. 

Now he has been named in the 

national squad, he said he has one 

up on his father. 

“He is really supportive, really 

interested and completely stoked 

that I have made the team,” he 

said. 

Russel made the team last year 

and said he was nervous going 

into the trials, but once he got on 

the water he just got stuck into his 

work. 

“I was more shocked about 

making it the year before, but I am 

still extremely happy to back that 

up,” he said. 

Taylor and Russel have been in 

the boat together for the past four 

years and both agree having each 

other there really pushes them to 

perform better. 

“You see each other on the water 

but then spend a bit more time 

together out of it as well, and that 

means we really want to push for 

each other,” Russel said. 

Taylor said he has to give credit 

to coach Dale Maher, who has 

been the “perfect finishing” coach. 

“He won seven jubilee cups in 

his eight years while coaching 

the Rangi Ruru Girls’ eight, so he 

knows his stuff,” Taylor said. 

Both said they are incredibly 

proud to be able to represent their 

country in a sport they love.

The effective use of low level laser 

treatment for assisting in the healing 

of deep tissue and joint problems has 

been used for more than 40 years. 

This treatment, which uses photo 

stimulation of mitochondria in cells, 

is able to penetrate into the site of 

injury to promote healing and reduce 

inflammation – relaxing muscles and 

reducing pain. 

Southern Chiropractic principal 

chiropractor Andre Grob has seen 

how the non-invasive treatment has 

resulted in impressive results for his 

clients. 

“I attended the World Congress 

conference on lower back pain in 

Singapore last year where they 

reinforced the use of low level laser 

treatment on lower back pain. 

“It was great to confirm the 

technology I have been treating 

my patients with has been highly 

researched with clinical studies 

showing the positive effect on acute 

and chronic musculoskeletal pain.” 

The treatment, which only takes 15 

to 20 minutes, is especially effective 

with muscle and joint pain, stiffness 

Southern 

ChiropraCtiC 

290 halSwell road 

associated with arthritis, neck and 

lower back pain. It is approved by 

the FDA and Meta analysis by the 

Lancet Medical Journal also endorses 

the treatment saying it can reduce 

pain intensity, disability and the 

reoccurrence of pain. 

Andre can also provide other 

treatments including adjustments, 

exercises, stretches and muscle 

therapy – to readjust the body or 

help it heal from conditions that are 

physical in origin. 

These can include problems such 

as back pain, muscle spasms, 

headaches and poor posture. 

What you may not know is that it 

is also completely appropriate to 

receive chiropractic care even though 

you may not have symptoms. Unlike 

standard medical doctors who you 

visit when you have symptoms that 

need to be treated, chiropractors 

offer adjustments to improve spinal 

alignment and overall wellbeing – 

and can prevent the pain or other 

symptoms even starting. 

Going to a chiropractor is much the 

same as going to the dentist or gym 

or even leading a healthy life – it 

5 Warning Signs 

prevents problems from reaching 

critical stage where you can become 

incapacitated and as long as you 

keep up with regular visits, then you 

continue to enjoy the benefits of a life 

feeling well. 

“I have been providing Chiropractic 

Care for patients for more than 

15 years and during that time I have 

gained outstanding results. If you are 

experiencing back or neck pain or feel 

that treatment may be of benefit to 

you please give me a call.” 

ACC recognises chiropractors as 

primary health care specialists when 

it comes to spinal care so you do not 

need a referral from a GP to seek 

treatment for a back or neck injury as 

a result of accidental causes. In the 

event of an accident we can initiate 

a claim directly and if it is accepted, 

treatment costs will be subsidised.

SPORTS 

MILESTONE: 

Kris Wilder 

leads Lincoln 

onto the field 

for his 50th 

division 1 

game with the 

club. 

Lincoln falls to Rakaia 

LINCOLN HAVE been leapfrogged 

by Rakaia in the 

combined country rugby 

competition. The table switch 

occurred following Rakaia’s 

41-20 away win over Lincoln on 

Saturday. 

The defeat was just Lincoln’s 

second of the season and drops 

them to second in section 2, two 

points behind Rakaia. 

They will face another tough 

task when they look to bounce 

back on Saturday. Lincoln travel 

to Kaiapoi, who are coming off the 

back of a 38-17 win over Methven.

Recognising the Early 

Signs of Osteoporosis 

By Cath King, Nutritionist at Osteohealth NZ 

How do we know whether our bones are healthy or not? We can’t see them like 

we can our skin, or listen to them like the heart or lungs. They feel strong through 

our flesh. But are they really? Bone density scans are a way to look inside bone, 

and see how dense or strong they are, but we rarely get a bone density test until 

after menopause, when it might be too late. 

Studies show that only 12 percent of 

people with osteoporosis have had a bone 

mineral density (BMD) scan, the most 

reliable diagnostic test for osteoporosis. This 

is likely due to a lack of awareness among 

middle-aged and older women and their 

physicians about the risk of osteoporosis. 

Some early signs that may indicate bone 

loss are: 

• Not getting much sun exposure 

• Difficulty getting up from a chair without 

using your arms to push 

• Joint or muscle aches 

• A resting pulse greater than 80 beats per 

minute 

• Height loss 

• Increasing stooping (curvature of the 

spine) 

• Receding gums 

• Decreased grip strength 

• Weak and brittle fingernails 

• Cramps, muscle aches 

• Low overall fitness 

If you have risk factors for osteoporosis – 

meaning you’re a woman, postmenopausal, 

slight build, take medication or you’re 

vitamin D-deficient, among others – don’t 

wait until you have symptoms to get 

screened. Unfortunately, bone loss, leading 

to osteoporosis, often occurs without 

any noticeable symptoms, so by the time 

you have a fracture, feel pain, or develop 

curvature of the spine, osteoporosis may 

already be present. 

Luckily, if you identify bone loss early, 

you can take steps to reduce your risk of 

osteoporosis. 

Bone Mineral Density testing will be 

available at Lincoln Rec Centre (Lincoln 

University) on Friday 19th May.

Paws for Reading is here 

Local dogs and their owners are working with Selwyn District 

Libraries to help children to improve their reading skills. 

Paws for Reading is a new programme being launched in May. 

The programme is designed to provide an opportunity for children 

who are not confident reading aloud or who need to develop their 

reading skills to read to a friendly dog for fifteen minutes each week. 

“We are excited about this new programme. Similar programmes 

overseas and in New Zealand have been shown to assist most 

children to improve their reading fluency and confidence,” says 

Selwyn Libraries Manager Vicki Carlyon. 

The dogs being used in the programme are carefully selected by the 

Selwyn Dog Training Club to be suitable to work with children. The 

sessions are being trialled during term two at all local libraries and 

are open to primary school children. Sessions are free but booking 

is required – to book a place please visit www.selwynlibraries.co.nz 

or contact your local library. 

Recycle your child’s car seat 

A recycling programme for expired or damaged car seats is currently operating in Selwyn. 

Until June 2017 the Council is offering a collection point at Rolleston and subsidising the processing 

cost. You can take unwanted car seats to the Pines Resource Recovery Park for a small $5 charge. 

The SeatSmart recycling programme can help reduce the amount of recyclable materials going to 

landfill and remove expired seats from circulation which improves road safety. 

The seats are dismantled through Department of Corrections community work programmes which provide 

opportunities for offenders to learn new skills and contribute to the community. The recovered plastic is 

recycled into products for the building industry, metal parts are taken to metal recyclers, and the harnesses 

will be used by Karkt NZ and The Green Collective who make handmade bags from recycled items. 

Booster and convertible seats can be recycled through the recycling programme, along with capsules, 

but polystyrene seats are not part of the programme. 

Selwyn School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler says all car seats have an expiry date on 

them and over time seats can be damaged from UV light, heat, general wear and tear or in a crash. 

Parents can find information about how to check their seat’s expiry date at www.seatsmart.co.nz. Locally, 

the Council has trained a number of volunteers as child restraint technicians and they can check car seat 

safety and install seats for free - see 'Selwyn Car Seat Champions' on Facebook for details. 

“The Council is pleased to be able to partner 

with SeatSmart to help reduce the amount of 

car seats going to landfill. To help make the 

program a success we are asking people to 

remove and dispose of the fabric seat covers 

before bringing them in,” says Selwyn District 

Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd. 

The Pines Resource Recovery Park is located 

at 183 Burnham School Road and is open 

Monday to Fridays, 9am-4.30pm, and from 

10am-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. For 

more information about SeatSmart contact 

roadsafety@selwyn.govt.nz 

On the roads this week 

Road resurfacing will take place on Dalethorpe Road, with stop/go 

traffic controls operating at all sites. Road levelling will take place on 

Coleridge Road, with priority give way controls operating. Footpath 

reconstruction work is planned on Torlesse Crescent in Darfield. 

Road widening – Jones Road 

From Monday 1 May until mid-June, road widening will occur on 

Jones Road between Weedons Ross Road and the Lyttelton Port 

Company. The road will remain open, but may be reduced to one 

lane at times with traffic delays expected. This work is occurring 

now in order to be completed prior to the NZ Transport Agency 

starting work on a new Motorway interchange at Weedons Ross 

Road. Maddisons Road is suggested as an alternative route to 

Jones Road at peak times. 

Christchurch Southern Motorway extension 

Sections of Weedons Ross Road between State Highway One and 

Jones Road, and Weedons Road between State Highway One and 

Levi Road are closed both ways to traffic. A closure will also be in 

place on Weedons Road from Main South Road through to Levi 

Road. The closures are to allow cables to be laid as part of the 

Christchurch Southern Motorway extension project. Detours will be 

clearly sign-posted.

Driven 

Fresh driveline for 

Peugeot 2008 

• By Ross Kiddie 

I’M A firm believer in the 

two-wheel-drive sport 

utility vehicle market. 

The reason being is that 

most SUV buyers have no 

intention of taking their 

cars/wagons into a loose 

surface environment, there 

is mostly little need for 

four-wheel-drive. 

A lot of manufacturers 

are into that concept and 

they are increasing the 

number of 2WD SUVs. 

Peugeot has just launched a 

new crossover/SUV/wagon 

– the 2008. While its concept 

has been around for 

a few years, the newcomer 

has a fresh driveline and a 

fairly hefty upgrade. 

Loosely based around 

the 208 platform, the 2008 

is an SUV of mini proportions 

at just over 4m, but it 

has a practical interior that 

is capable of transporting 

awkward loads with adaptable 

and versatile rear seat 

configurations. 

It is also a comfortable 

car for four adults, it’s a bit 

of squeeze width-wise for 

three adults in the rear but 

there’s no shortage of head 

or leg room, and the 2008 

is clever in the way it translates 

its limited space into 

occupant comfort. 

The 2008 lands here in 

two levels, $34,990 will get 

you into the Allure, an extra 

$2000 will buy what Peugeot 

describes as the GT-Line, it 

gets a wealth of sporty trim 

accents, bigger wheels (17in) 

and a higher spec including 

a clever grip control system. 

Effectively, it is an advanced 

traction and stability control 

programme that also allows 

the 2008 to tackle those offthe-seal 

situations that arise 

from time to time, but bearing 

in mind cross-country 

travel is limited. 

Under the bonnet is a 

new turbocharged, threecylinder 

engine and sixspeed 

transmission which 

is finding its way across 

Peugeot and Citroen lineups. 

I’ve encountered 

this unit in other Peugeot 

product and it is an engine 

which punches well above 

its weight, you have to discard 

the notion of it being 

small, it is a strong, capable 

PEUGEOT 2008: Sport utility vehicle of mini proportions. 

power plant which thrills 

with its honesty. 

Peugeot rates the 1192cc 

unit at a healthy 81kW and 

205Nm. Not only are they 

high outputs for engine 

size, it’s the area where the 

power is developed that 

is most interesting. Peak 

power comes in at just 

5500rpm and maximum 

torque is available from 

1500rpm, both low in the 

rev band and that is what 

you need in all engines, 

the ability to haul from low 

revolutions. Boost from the 

turbocharger is also constant, 

there is little lag at 

any point. 

• Price – Peugeot 

2008, $36,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4159mm; 

width, 1829mm; 

height, 1556mm 

• Configuration – 

Three-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1199cc, 

81kW, 205Nm, sixspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10.3sec 

• Fuel usage – 

4.8l/100km 

If you also add in the 

benefit of a six-speed 

automatic, there’s never a 

point where you think the 

gearing and engine output 

aren’t matched, the driveline 

is fluid and responsive. 

Peugeot also list a 1280kg 

kerb weight for the 2008, 

that’s quite light, offering 

a healthy power-to-weight 

ratio. 

The gearing has been 

structured so that there 

is reasonable acceleration 

to highway speed with 

TECHNOLOGY: Satellite navigation is fitted to the 

higher grade variant of the Peugeot 2008. 

a tallish top gear so that 

the engine is relaxed at 

100km/h, turning over 

slowly at 2000rpm. 

At that speed the engine 

is sipping fuel at the rate of 

just five-litres per 100km 

(56mpg), that promoted a 

7.2l/100km (39mpg) average 

during my time behind 

the wheel. These are satisfactory 

figures but are a 

little distant to Peugeot’s 

4.8l/100km (58mpg) 

combined cycle claim, 

although my driving style 

doesn’t augur well for fuel 

economy. 

On the subject of figures, 

the 2008 is lively enough, 

it will reach 100km/h from 

a standstill in just over 

10sec and will complete a 

highway overtake in 6.9sec 

(80km/h to 120km/h). 

Peugeot has always had 

a reputation for ride/handling 

quality and that has 

been engineered into the 

2008. It has a compliant, 

moderately-firmed ride 

with a handling feel that 

is moderately sporty. The 

chassis isn’t disturbed by 

mid-corner bumps or road 

deviations, the suspension 

does a good job of keeping 

body balance. 

Providing the grip are 

205/50 Good Year tyres, 

according to the casing they 

are worded all season and 

during my time with the 

test car they were certainly 

put to the test on wet surfaces, 

heavy rain lowered 

grip levels substantially. 

Nevertheless, the entire 

car felt secured to the 

road and steering feel is 

another Peugeot hallmark, 

the 2008 as a package constantly 

feels controlled and 

safe. 

The latter of course is 

five-star rated and sits 

beside a healthy level of 

specification, major features 

include satellite navigation, 

touch screen infotainment, 

cruise control 

and speed limiter and high 

quality trim materials. 

The new 2008 is an 

example of a good car 

made better, the new driveline 

is certainly a case of 

less is more. 

Kim’s 

Fashion Quarterly 

from Kim Taylor —Viva La Moda 

It’s the Season of the Jacket 

Our up and down weather at the moment makes it difficult to dress 

so a jacket that can be left on is a practical choice. 

Both leather and faux leather jackets are ultra popular right now 

and are available in a range of neutrals with brown being a 

new in-vogue colour this season. Taupes, tans, stone, beige 

navy and black are also available. 

We have pictured the Coalition LA faux 

leather jacket in Coffee colourway 

($199) on our seated mannequin. This 

colour is a neutral which will go with 

almost everything and can be 

a softer alternative to black. 

This mannequin is also 

sporting the on trend 

Quay sunnies which 

are a must have this 

season ($69.90). 

Another faux leather 

option is the stylish 

Airlie biker jacket 

with rose gold zips 

($185.95). Rose gold is hugely 

popular right now so if you 

are amongst those of us 

addicted to this colour, 

then this is your go-to 

jacket. This is a fitted 

style which gives plenty of 

shape so is very flattering over 

dresses or with pants and jeans. 

Airlie, a new Australian label, also has the beautiful 

misty grey faux suede jacket with drapey lapels 

($165.95). This is another style that can be left on as 

it has stretch and is comfortable and looks amazing 

contrasting with navy or black underneath. 

Another new jacket shape which has become very 

popular is the bomber. This shape can a little more 

casual and is comfortable and easy to wear. A 

bomber jacket can also be worn with jeans, pants or 

with skirts and dresses so is a versatile addition to the 

wardrobe. 

We have pictured the faux leather 

Airlie bomber in stunning pink 

($165.95) over a navy and 

white Elm striped dress 

($99.95). 

If vibrant colours are 

you , we have found 

a beautiful bright 

orange jacket in ultra 

cosy 100 % wool by 

High Style ($189). This 

jacket looks great left 

undone but adds more 

shape if worn zipped up 

to bring in the waistline. 

There are many more 

jackets available but this 

selection gives a little taster of 

what’s available now in store at 

Viva la Moda. See you soon.

Gardening 

SELWYN TIMES 

Great autumn 

Being productive in the garden is as much about growing 

as it is about finishing crops, and putting all good things 

to use year-round. Diana Noonan provides a few tip on 

how to use your greenhouse over the autumn months 

UNDER COVER: Pumpkins need to be ‘cured’ if they are 

to keep well over winter. The greenhouse is the perfect 

place to use for this. 

Be inspired by 

our great range 

of quality trees 

and shrubs. 

Pamper your potatoes 

In my autumn, there may well be 

no warm, dry periods of little rain. 

Thank goodness for my greenhouse, 

which I press into service for potato 

drying. 

If you decide to use your 

greenhouse for this purpose, there 

are one or two things to bear in 

mind. The greening of potatoes 

is caused by four factors: light 

quality (how bright the light is), 

the duration during which the 

tubers are exposed to light, the 

temperature they are exposed to, 

and the variety of potato (some have 

thicker skins than others). When I 

dry my potatoes in the greenhouse, 

I minimise the time the harvest 

is exposed to the light (leaving 

them in the light for no more 

than two days and turning them a 

couple of times a day to hurry the 

process). I leave the greenhouse 

door and vents open to lower the 

temperature, and I choose a day 

with light cloud rather than bright

sun for the harvest. Obviously, even 

if your greenhouse is vermin proof, 

it is unwise to store the potatoes 

in it because temperatures will be 

warmer than desirable, even over 

winter. Potatoes should be stored 

in a cool (1-4°C.), dark place with 

moderate ventilation. 

Greenhouses are the cure 

Autumn may be ‘the season of 

mellow fruitfulness’ according 

to the poet Keats, but it’s also 

the season when dampness is 

creeping into the mornings and 

late afternoons. All of which makes 

curing pumpkins 

and other cucurbits 

a headache. Unless, 

of course, you 

have a greenhouse. 

Pumpkins and their 

relatives need to be 

stored in a warm, dry 

place for around four 

weeks if they are to 

store well into winter. 

During the curing 

process, the gourds’ 

skins harden, and any 

minor blemishes heal 

over, protecting the 

flesh beneath. Curing 

also helps immature 

fruit to ripen and 

sweeten. 

Because curing 

should ideally occur 

at temperatures 

between 27-29 deg C, greenhouses 

provide the ideal place for it to 

take place. I cure pumpkins, kumi 

kumi and marrows on wooden 

pallets placed on the floor of my 

glasshouse. It’s fascinating to watch 

the shells harden on the vegetables 

and to see how they deepen in 

colour. 

Sun-dried decoration 

Bright dried foods make for 

pretty decorations in the kitchen, 

whether stored in a jar or strung up 

on threads of cotton or natural jute 

string. As soon as the chillies in my 

glasshouse are ripe (which is when 

they have turned the mature colour 

indicated on their seed packet or 

plant label), I whip them off the 

bush. While their stems are still 

soft, I use a needle to thread them 

onto cotton, spacing them slightly 

apart from each other to encourage 

ventilation, then hang them across 

he roof of the greenhouse to dry. 

As most of the plants are gone from 

my greenhouse by now, humidity is 

low and the chillies dry within a few 

days or a week or two depending 

on conditions. I also dry bunches 

of herbs in the greenhouse, tying 

their stems loosely, and placing 

the bunches heads down in a 

large paper bag hung high in the 

structure (heat rises so the higher 

they are hung the better). The bags 

serve to catch the leaves (or seeds) 

as they fall. 

gardening without guesswork 

Question: 

I have moved into a new place that has a beautiful flower garden 

that includes the likes of dahlias, chrysanthemums and roses. 

What do I need to do to help them survive the winter? 

At this time of year you will need 

Answer: to cut back your chrysanthemums 

and dahlias by about two thirds 

once they have finished flowering. Make sure that when you are 

cutting these back, you use sharp secateurs and do it on a fine, 

dry day. To help protect them from the winter cold, add a layer of 

bark mulch to the garden to keep them nice and snug through the 

cooler months. 

Your roses will also benefit from some mulch to protect them. 

Organic compost dug through the soil will boost them as well. 

As winter begins, this is a good time to prune them. Check out 

the gardening advice section on our website for more information 

on how to prune http://www.intelligro.co.nz/all-about-roses. It 

will also pay to give them a spray – head to your local garden 

centre, they will point you in the right direction. The spray will help 

to protect the plant’s new growth from winter frosts, as well as 

protection from diseases. Please note that if you have rambling 

roses, these are best pruned in summer.

Other maintenance in

Primulas, pansies and polyanthus will love a side dressing of 

fertiliser to help see them through the winter. Make sure that you 

clean up any leaves from around the garden, add some organic 

compost to give the soil a boost of organic matter, and add a 

bark mulch to the top for extra protection.

There were plenty of excited 

children dashing aboutKirrin Island, 

Preston Downs on Easter Sunday, 

all searching for hidden Easter eggs 

in the Ray White sponsored Easter Egg Hunt

Piano recital

special birthday 

Plans on 

track for new 

community 

centre 

Local pianist and retired piano teacher 

Veronica van der Knaap will give a piano 

recital later this month to celebrate her 

70th birthday. 

She has chosen to donate all profits 

to the Canterbury Charity 

Hospital Trust, as it is a cause 

she strongly supports. 

Veronica, who has been living 

in Canterbury since 1971, was 

born in The Netherlands, where 

she obtained professional 

qualifications at the Amsterdam 

Conservatorium. 

Since retiring from her 

teaching career Veronica has 

remained an active performer. 

Her birthday recital will 

include works by Brahms, 

Chopin, Schubert and others. 

It will be held at the Nut Point 

Centre, West Melton on Sunday, May 14, 

at 2 p.m. 

Tickets are available online at www.

The Selwyn District Council’s Project 

Steering Committee and Council have 

been continuing to develop plans for 

the new West Melton Community and 

Recreation Centre. 

Resource Consent has been granted for 

the project and a fundraising drive will be 

launched in September to gain support for 

the project from the local community and 

corporate sponsors. 

Plans for the Community and 

Recreation Centre include a main stadium 

with a full-sized basketball court, meeting 

rooms, catering kitchen, playcentre 

and Plunket facilities, Scout hall and 

youth area, toilets and change facilities, 

associated landscaping and plenty of car 

parking. 

The existing community hall will remain 

available for use until the new facility is 

open, and it is planned to remove the old 

building once the new facility opens. 

The project is now working towards 

completing detailed drawings so the 

project can be tendered next year. The 

expected date for completion and opening 

of the facility is 2018.

Prime Minister Bill English and Primary 

Industries Minister Nathan Guy were in 

Darfield on April 20 for the ribbon-cutting 

to signal the start of construction of Stage 

2 of Central Plains Water, which will have 

the capacity to irrigate an additional 20,000 

hectares. 

“This will be a real boost to the Canterbury 

regional economy with around 1130 new 

jobs expected as a result. A reliable source 

of water gives farmers certainty and options 

to invest in mixed farming operations 

including arable, sheep and beef finishing, 

dairy farming and horticulture,” Mr Guy 

said. 

“Importantly, it also has many 

environmental benefits. Using alpinesourced 

water rather than ground water is 

environmentally beneficial for Canterbury 

as it reduces pressure on aquifers, which 

are needed to replenish flows in lowland 

streams. 

“Replacing groundwater with river and 

stored alpine river water has the potential to 

improve water flows into Lake Ellesmere - 

Te Waihora, helping the long-term process

of improving its water quality. 

“For any farm to qualify for scheme water 

it has to prepare a plan with a nutrient 

budget and meet high standards.” 

Crown Irrigation Investments Limited 

(CIIL) has committed to providing a $65 

million secured loan to CPW to partfund 

Stage 2 of the CPW Scheme. Crown 

Irrigation’s partial funding of Stage 2 means 

that the project can be future-proofed for 

long-term demand. 

CIIL invested $6.5 million into CPW 

Stage 1, which has since been fully repaid, 

and full repayment is expected for the Stage 

2 investment as well. 

A new Sustainable Farming Fund 

(SFF) project “SMART Tools and Tips 

for Irrigators” is aimed at improving 

management practices for irrigators to 

deliver better environmental and economic 

outcomes. The funding is for $294,400 and 

will be led by Irrigation New Zealand. 

Another new SFF project led by Federated 

Farmers will be looking at the impacts of 

irrigation on soil water holding properties. 

This project, worth $295,950, will help both 

farmers and regional councils by enabling 

more effective and efficient use of irrigation 

water, reduced drainage and reduced loss of 

soluble nutrients. 

While in the region Mr Guy also visited the 

Hinds/Hekeao Managed Aquifer Recharge 

(MAR) project site near Ashburton. 

The pilot project, which began in 

February 2016, is testing the feasibility of 

adding alpine sourced water to shallow 

groundwater to help recharge lowland 

streams during dry periods and reduce 

nitrate levels in the groundwater. 

“I was pleased to hear that in the first 

year of this project, the bores monitoring 

groundwater conditions downstream have 

shown positive improvements in both water 

quantity with rising levels and in water 

quality with decreasing concentrations of 

nitrates.” 

A recent report by NZIER found that 

irrigation contributes $2.2 billion to the 

national economy and this has the potential 

to increase further.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

New Zealand vets back 

antibiotic use reduction 

World Veterinary Day (WVD) took place globally on April 29, 2017. 

The theme this year was Antimicrobial 

Resistance: From awareness to action. 

The New Zealand Veterinary Association 

(NZVA) says it is well placed to discuss this 

concerning and challenging issue that the 

World Health Organisation has named one 

of the greatest global health challenges we 

face. 

NZVA chief executive Mark Ward says 

the New Zealand Veterinary Association is 

taking a strong position on Antimicrobial 

Resistance. 

“Our goal is that by 2030 New Zealand 

Inc. will not need antibiotics for the 

maintenance of animal health and welfare,” 

Mr Ward says. 

“It’s an aspirational goal. It’s big. But 

this is an enormous issue facing us, New 

Zealand’s veterinarians want to do their 

part to reduce our dependency on these 

critical medicines and preserve their use 

for as long as possible. 

“We knew that finding alternatives, 

lateral thinking, and collaboration would 

be key to finding solutions to antibiotic 

resistance. And that’s what we’re doing, 

with the backing of vets, government and 

industry across the country.” 

The veterinary profession’s aspirational 

goal was launched by the NZVA in July 

2015. They are working collaboratively 

with a range of organisations – from 

the Ministry of Health and Ministry for 

Primary Industries to DairyNZ and Pork 

New Zealand, to promote the responsible 

use of antibiotics in animals to ensure their 

continued effectiveness in safeguarding 

both animal and human health. 

“We’ve received strong support for 

our vision,” Mr Ward says. “We’re now 

exploring strategies to address antibiotic 

resistance; this could be an innovation 

opportunity for New Zealand – it should 

be seen in terms of opportunity. 

“New Zealand has some of the lowest 

rates of antibiotic use in animals for food 

production in the world. We are the thirdlowest 

user of antimicrobials globally. 

But we don’t want to be complacent. It’s 

important we continue this momentum.” 

A 2015 PwC report, commissioned by 

the NZVA, found that as one of the three 

lowest users of antibiotics to treat animals 

in the OECD, New Zealand could increase 

the value of its exports with reducedantibiotic 

livestock systems and scientific 

innovations. 

“Very few public health issues are of 

greater importance than antimicrobial 

resistance in terms of their impact on 

society,” Mr Ward says. 

Effective antibiotics have been a key 

factor in living longer and healthier. 

Addressing antimicrobial resistance is 

a community issue and we’re tackling it 

as a community - veterinarians, doctors, 

farmers, animal owners (pets and equine) 

and industry stakeholders.

Taking a walk through a show home is fun, whether 

thinking about building or wanting ideas for renovating or 

revitalising home furnishings. They can be a great place to 

find the latest trends in building and interior design and 

how certain home furnishing elements work together. 

It is now the norm for a building company to have a 

show home and for larger subdivisions to have a show 

home village so it is not surprising that a new impressive 

show home village is currently taking shape at Faringdon 

in Rolleston. 

Faringdon’s new show home village should be fully 

operational by July this year, with most of the major 

building companies opening homes in a village that is 

expected to be the largest of its kind to be developed in 

Canterbury, if not New Zealand. 

Other show home villages in the area are at Flemington 

and Te Whāriki in Lincoln. 

Closer to the city is Halswell on the Park, Knights Stream 

Park in Halswell and The Runway at Wigram Skies, where 

there is a good line up of interesting and varied show 

homes. 

To the north east of the city you will find the Preston 

subdivision, which has a show home street then in Kaiapoi, 

more can be seen at Silverstream and Sovereign Palms. 

Show homes in Selwyn can be found in the following 

subdivisions:
