WHEEL CLAMPING signs put 

up outside a new cafe in Lincoln, 

may be unenforceable. 

The Black Door Bar and 

Eatery on the site of the old Tea 

House has posted warnings it 

could clamp or tow vehicles not 

being used by customers parked 

outside of its Robert St premises. 

But this appears to be in 

breach of the original resource 

consent issued for the building 

in 2010. 

The district council said 

yesterday an investigation was 

under way into why the clamping 

signs had been put up. 

The signs cover 12 parallel 

parks outside Black Door and 

adjacent Lincoln Village Preschool 

and Nursery. 

District council environmental 

service manager Tim Harris 

told the Selwyn Times the cafe 

cannot impose its own parking 

restrictions on the Robert 

St parks, and cannot enforce 

clamping or towing. 

Non-cafe customers could use 

the car parks, he said. 

The parking spaces are on 

road reserve, and are owned by 

the district council, he said. 

Mr Harris said the agreement 

allows the cafe to paint 

markings on the parking spaces 

indicating cafe use. 

“However signage on the fence 

in front of these spaces is not 

allowed, as this is private property,” 

he said. 

But the cafe’s owner Anita 

Alder said she has a different 

viewpoint to the district council 

to the signs.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

Inside 

News.....................................3-17 

THERE’S BEEN raised eyebrows in 

Lincoln over the clamping signs in 

Robert St. 

The owner of the soon-to-beopened 

Black Door cafe has put 

them up outside her business to 

ward off non-customers’ vehicles. 

I can see why she is worried – 

parking in Lincoln around Robert 

and Gerald Sts is quickly becoming 

an issue as the township grows. 

That’ll be complicated even further 

when off-street parking is lost 

for the planned cycle ways in Gerald 

St. But clamping and towing? Is that 

Selwyn? 

The issue is: Can the Black Door 

cafe put the signs up? 

The district council says no; the 

owners say yes, and that is being 

discussed by the parties. 

On another note, we reveal the 

number and breeds of dangerous 

dogs in the district. 

Let’s be careful out there.

Schools’ multi-million dollar boost 

BULGING SCHOOL rolls in 

Lincoln and Prebbleton may 

be eased with a multi-million 

dollar Government injection. 

Lincoln Primary School will 

receive about $3 million for six 

new classrooms 

and Prebbleton 

School will 

get about $2 

million for 

four new classrooms. 

Kim 

Alexander 

The funding 

was part of an 

announcement 

yesterday in which schools 

across Canterbury will benefit 

from $5.5 million to be invested 

in expanding the capacity of 

schools. 

The announcement was made 

during a visit to Prebbleton 

School by Associate Minister of 

Education Tim Macindoe. 

Lincoln Primary School 

principal Vivienne Butcher said 

it means this time next year, all 

of its pupils will be able to learn 

on its main campus. 

At the moment, the school has 

a junior campus for year 0 to 3 

pupils and its main campus is 

for year 3 to 8 pupils. 

Prebbleton School principal 

Kim Alexander said the 

school has been experiencing 

significant role growth in the

announcement made by the Government yesterday. 

last few years and is at capacity 

now. 

“Another four classrooms 

will cater for enrolments over 

the next two to three years,” she 

said. 

Prebbleton has about 490 

pupils on its roll, while Lincoln 

has more than 600. 

Mr Macindoe said yesterday 

that all of the schools receiving 

funding in the Canterbury 

region had experienced 

increases in their rolls. 

He said growth in the 

Canterbury region showed 

the resilient nature of the 

community following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

It is expected the new 

classrooms at Lincoln Primary 

and Prebbleton School will be 

up and running in the 2018 

school year. 

Minister of Education 

Nikki Kaye said the first 

round of school infrastructure 

investment under this year’s 

Budget will provide a total of 11 

new classrooms to three schools 

in the Canterbury region, 

adding space for around 220 

students. 

In Brief 

NO ARRESTS MADE 

Police inquiries are ongoing into 

the mysterious disappearance 

of a set of distinctive gates at a 

Tai Tapu furniture shop. Last 

week, Selwyn Times reported the 

Obelisk furniture store, situated 

on the Christchurch Akaroa Rd, 

had the gates covering a 6m-wide 

opening to the business stolen. 

A spokesman said police would 

welcome any fresh information 

that would help with the investigation.

It’s a dog’s world in Selwyn 

SELWYN TIMES 

Not all 

As the population 

grows in Selwyn so 

too are the number 

of dogs in the district. 

Georgia O’Connor 

Harding reports 

TITUS HAS been part of Leeston 

resident Penny Dadson-Clausen’s 

family since he arrived as a pup 

nearly 10 years ago. 

A majestic looking boy he was 

named Titus after the Roman 

emperor who ruled between 79- 

81AD 

Titus is part of a growing canine 

population in Selwyn – there’s 

13,034 registered dogs in the district 

now, up from 10,628 in 2012. 

It mirrors the growing human 

population. 

Farmlands Real Estate agent 

Mrs Dadson-Clausen, a real 

estate agent with Farmlands, said 

Selwyn was a great place to have 

a dog. 

The roadsides were safe to walk 

dogs and places to take them 

swimming. 

Titus, 10, was a typical Labrador 

– laid back. His favourite 

place is the Rakaia Lagoon. 

Mrs Dadson-Clausen likes it 

because of its clean, deep water 

allowing Titus to “go nuts.” 

Mrs Dadson-Clausen is looking 

forward to the new 1.8ha dog 

park planned to be up and running 

in Leeston by spring after often 

taking Titus to the Foster Park 

dog exercise area in Rolleston. 

“He gets really carried away and 

bossy when we go to the park – in 

a good way, he tells everybody 

they must come play with him 

right now,” she said. 

The new park, to be located 

between the A&P Showgrounds 

and land leased to the Ellesmere 

Heritage Park, will include dog 

exercise equipment and a small 

pond. 

NOT ALL dogs in Selwyn are 

friendly. There are 77 which are 

classed as menacing, latest data 

reveals. 

There are another seven dogs 

which are regarded as being 

dangerous. 

The information was released 

in an Environmental Services 

Statistics Report by the district 

council. 

The dangerous dogs are 

a glen of imaal terrier cross, 

staffordshire bull terrier, 

labrador retriever-huntaway 

cross, mastiff cross, german 

wirehaired pointer, jack russell 

cross and bull mastiff. 

District council senior animal 

control officer Steve Clarke said 

the whereabouts of where dogs 

are located is protected under 

the Dog Control Act 1996 and 

could not be released. 

He said the district’s 

increasing population is the 

reason for more dogs living in 

the area. 

District council data 

shows Selwyn’s total human 

population had increased from 

44,595 in 2012 to 58,859 this 

year. 

With it, the number of 

registered dogs in Selwyn had 

grown from 10,628 to 13,034.

Along with 

the population

the number

•From page 1 

There was nothing in the resource 

consent to say the business 

cannot put up the signs, she said. 

Ms Alder said there had previously 

been signage at the site 

regarding parking when the Tea 

House operated, but it had since 

gone. 

However, she told the Selwyn 

Times she did not know what 

was on the signage. 

Ms Alder said the only guideline 

in the resource consent 

was for the business to actively 

contain and possess the usage of 

the parks. 

The original resource consent 

stated the 12 angle car 

parks located along the road 

frontage be retained for use by 

the business. 

In the original consent the district 

council agreed the former 

parallel parking spaces would be 

converted to 12 angle-parking 

spaces made available for use by 

the cafe. 

Ms Alder said it was about 

being transparent about what 

the car parks are there for and if 

the district council can’t enforce 

them, then they are in breach of 

the resource consent. 

She said if her customers were 

unable to park in the area for a 

certain length of time because 

of unauthorised vehicles it was 

understandable to have the cars 

towed or clamped. 

“At some point the district 

council needs to start infringement 

on time limits because if 

you want business to invest in 

the community they need to be 

able to have customers to access 

their buildings,” she said. 

The car parks like others in 

business areas of Lincoln already 

have district council imposed 

120min maximum time limits. 

Ms Alder said she would not 

automatically clamp cars but 

would decide if the driver was 

abusing the car parks.

Ratepayers to pay for fence 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

A CONTROVERSIAL ratepayerfunded 

fence at Flock Hill 

Station has been given the 

go-ahead. 

The Selwyn Waihora Zone 

Committee has reconfirmed its 

decision to allocate $26,571 of 

its Immediate Steps Biodiversity 

Funding to section off a part of 

Cave Stream and 35ha wetlands 

at the station. 

The zone initially 

approved 

allocating 

$44,236 to the 

project in March 

but has since 

reviewed its 

Allen Lim 

decision. 

It comes 

after an 

application by Flock Hill’s 

leaseholder Flock Hill Holdings, 

owned by Jim Foster and Vince 

Saunders of Los Angeles-based 

Coast Range New Zealand, was 

made. 

It proposed fencing off Cave 

Stream as a way of mitigating 

the associated loss of biodiversity 

on the terraces. 

The landowners will 

contribute $22,000 towards the 

project. 

A final decision on the funding 

was held off at the zone’s 

May meeting after concerns 

more research needed to be done 

on the project. 

About five zone committee 

members travelled to Cave 

Stream last month to visit the 

site. 

The funding has since been reduced 

by $17,665 after the Flock 

Hill Station owners decided it 

wanted funding only for stage 

one and two of the project and 

not stage three. 

A ECan report said a revised 

farm plan deemed contribution 

stage three as not viable longterm. 

Zone committee chairman Allen 

Lim said stage three was the 

most controversial and costly 

part of the project covering the 

Cave Stream terraces. 

At the meeting, a verbal vote 

on the funding was made by 

each of the zone committee 

members. 

No objections were made. 

Mr Lim said the zone was 

comfortable with the project 

protecting rare species and 

would have most likely approved 

all stages. 

Selwyn Times reported in 

April the project was recommended 

by ECan’s own ecologist 

Dr Phillip Grove that it was not 

funded.

advocate Nicky Snoyink said 

while she found the public 

money being spent on American 

investors hard to stomach, she 

is pleased the fence will not go 

through DOC’s recommended 

area of protection. 

“We feel these landscapes are 

really vulnerable because there is 

a big push to farm every little bit 

of flat area available in the high 

country,” she said.

Lydia Gliddon 

Beagle Norman a big part of 

Lydia Gliddon, 31 owns Darfield’s The Fat Beagle 

Cafe. The Kirwee resident spoke to Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding about what it was like to set 

up her own business, living with Crohn’s disease 

and the special dog she named her cafe after 

Tell me about your cafe? 

We have been running it for 

about nine months now. Our 

theme is wholesome foods. Just 

real food and no preservatives. 

We do a lot of our baking on 

site. We are well-known for our 

scones and muffins which are 

baked fresh every day. 

What is your top dish? 

The pea and halloumi fritters. 

I spend quite a bit of time 

mucking around and making all 

kinds of different food. 

Had you done a lot of 

hospitality before your decided 

to set up this cafe? 

I did a lot when I was younger. 

I have always been into cooking 

and hospitality. I was away 

working in the skiing industry 

for quite a long time. That 

was fun but it is nice to do 

something for yourself and be 

creative. 

What made you think setting 

up in the Darfield community 

would make such a successful 

cafe? 

It is a cool community. 

Everybody knows each other 

and support from your locals is 

the key really. I love food so it is 

a passion of mine to be able to 

do that. The building the cafe is 

based in is an old one and has a 

nice homely feel about it. 

Do you get a lot of travellers 

through? 

I would say it is mainly locals 

but during the week we have 

rushes of tourists and then 

through the weekend there a lot 

of people from Christchurch out 

travelling or Sunday driving. 

Our busiest day since we started 

was on a Saturday with 500 

sales. 

When did you first become 

interested in food? 

I used to do a lot of baking 

with my nana as a child and that 

is probably where it started off. 

My nana’s baking is pretty funny 

because she never measures 

anything. She pours it in a bowl. 

Somehow it worked for her but 

the girls at the cafe give me grief 

because I never measure much. 

Just chuck it. I also did baking 

when I went to Darfield High

biggest achievement apart from 

this being my first business. And 

trying to rebuild a business as 

well because there was a cafe 

already here. 

Why is wholesome food so 

important to you? 

I have Crohn’s disease. It 

makes me eat really healthy 

food or I end up quite sick. The 

disease is an inflammation of 

the bowel and basically you have 

ulcers through your digestive 

system and you can get pretty 

sick from it. I find eating good 

food makes a big change for you. 

If you are eating things with a lot 

of preservatives or junk in them 

they are irritating your tummy. 

Research has showed there is a 

massive increase of people with 

Crohn’s disease in Canterbury. I 

just want to provide people with 

eating options to eat even if it is 

gluten free or dairy free. It is nice 

to have fresh food. It is nice for 

people with food allergies that 

can go out and eat somewhere 

because it can be pretty hard.

Lydia’s busy Darfield cafe 

Where did the name The Fat 

Beagle Cafe come from? 

We thought it would be a name 

everyone would remember. We 

used to just call it the little cafe 

on the corner. I wanted to do 

something everyone remembers. 

The name comes from our little 

beagle Norman. People love it 

when Norman is at the cafe. We 

are always asked if there is a fat 

beagle. Our dog is well-fed. 

What makes Norman so 

special? 

He is a bit of a character. He 

is a bit of a snob. People want to 

pat and cuddle him because he is 

quite cute but he is just not really 

that interested unless you have 

got food. He is extremely naughty. 

A real rat bag. He is keen on 

taking food out of the pantry. 

Opening bags of rice, flour and 

sugar around the house. He has 

done the same with rubbish tins 

– pulled everything out. Licked 

all the paper and rubbish. No way 

is he allowed in the kitchen at the 

cafe. 

But your cafe is definitely a 

place for dogs? 

We have a courtyard out the 

back where they are allowed to 

run around. One of the girls here 

even makes dog treats. She makes 

bone-shaped treats and gives 

them out to people who brings 

dogs here. We are more than 

happy to have dogs here-there is 

a bowl of water for them. It is 

nice if you are out walking your 

dog and you have a cup of 

coffee. 

You are definitely a dog person 

over anything else? 

RELAXING: (From left to right) 

– Tara Marshall, Franziska 

Erdmann and Lydia Gliddon 

take time out skiing. Above – 

Norman only likes cuddles if 

food is around. 

We have a cat too but Norman 

is pretty special. 

Do you have any other Norman 

highlights to share? 

He is quite good at disappearing. 

He digs out, climbs fences or 

goes and visits other people then 

appears back a couple of days 

later which is quite stressful. He 

loves hunting and sniffing for 

rabbits. I remember once we left 

him inside and he had got into a 

big pack of toilet paper and just 

shredded it. It was like it had 

snowed. Then he just makes out 

nothing has happened – like he 

has just been in bed the whole 

time sleeping. He is eight now but 

you can’t train beagles – they live 

in their own world. 

What are you interests outside 

of your job? 

I play netball and I have been 

skiing since I was 13. 

Tell me about your skiing 

career? 

I worked overseas in America 

teaching snowboarding over 

there. I was at Canyons Resort, 

Utah, United States. It was 

awesome. Something that 

always benefits you when you 

go overseas is being a Kiwi. 

People are always really friendly 

towards Kiwis because we 

have a reputation for being 

hard-working and friendly. The 

Americans are funny – they 

could never understand what we 

were talking about because we 

spoke so fast. I have also worked 

at Mt Hutt. When I stopped 

teaching I went and worked 

for Gnomes Alpine Sports in 

Darfield and was manager until I 

bought the business.

SELWYN TIMES 

Your Local Views 

Cherry and Don Lorking 

respond to Selwyn Times’ 

article on the district 

council setting up a 

working party to look at the 

district’s facilities available 

to cope with freedom 

campers 

My wife and I agree working 

parties, throughout New Zealand, 

need to consider a charge 

for the honour of using the 

facilities we provide for freedom 

campers at great cost. 

They say they cannot afford to 

pay, so they don’t have a holiday 

in New Zealand. They have paid 

for air fares, vehicles and food 

so they need to budget for a payment 

for the facilities as well. 

Living near Coes Ford we see 

the numbers which have now 

put off families like ours going to 

enjoy the area. 

Steve Young responds 

to Selwyn Times’ article 

on parking issues at The 

Famous Sheffield Pie Shop 

The parking around the pie 

shop is, as your photograph 

partly shows, ill-defined, which 

is the fault of both the property 

owner and the road controlling 

authorities. 

The shop’s off-street parking 

needs to be better defined, especially 

out front. The berms you 

refer to don’t belong to the neighbours; 

they are part of the road 

reserve, and as such it’s the district 

council’s job to maintain them. 

Although, obviously, most people, 

including me, mow the grass 

berms outside our properties. 

Widen the seal on Duke St 

(and preferably put in kerbing 

and footpaths as well), paint 

parking spaces, signpost the 

shop’s back car park, and problem 

solved. Widening the seal on 

the north side of State Highway 

73, with a bit of kerbing to define 

the road edge as well, would also 

be a good move. 

We said: 

The Famous Sheffield 

Pie Shop makes a darn 

good pie – but locals are 

screaming out for roading 

changes to make it safer 

to park outside the shop 

which sits beside a busy 

highway: 

You said: 

Alison Westrupp – Put in a 

bus lane. That’s what they do to 

ease parking issues isn’t it? 

I’m kidding, I support local business 

and I hope this issue is able 

to be sorted. 

Andrew Johnson – I’d park 

in Springfield and walk there for 

one of their pies. 

Denise Petrie – Parking 

omg. Seriously have you been 

to Auckland or Wellington and 

looked for a safe park. Walking 

is an option. 

Andrea Welsh – Oh yum. 

They have the best pies. 

Ken Duggan – Move the 

shop, easy. 

Andrew Gordon – Good 

pies. 

We said: 

Darfield has been 

labelled as having the best 

tasting water in the country 

by a panel of judges at 

the New Zealand Water 

Industry Operators Group 

conference. Do you agree? 

You said: 

Jenny Blacklock – Sounds 

great. We always take large 

containers of our water from 

Motueka when we go travelling 

as ours is just as superb also. 

Would love to know how we 

rated in the water industry tests. 

We will give you guys a “taste 

test” next time we are travelling 

through Darfield. 

Graeme Brown – Should 

have kept that quiet. Now they 

will sell the rights to a bottling 

plant for next to nothing and 

then charge Darfield higher rates 

to cover the costs. 

Hamish Middleton 

– Amazing that within 40km it 

either turns bad or disappears 

completely. 

Wendy McDiarmid: Waikuku 

Beach has the best water. 

Dean Anthony Robinson: 

Lake Tekapo’s water clear 

cool clean just so fresh. 

We said: 

Jimmy Barnes is 

heading to Lincoln. Oh the 

memories of playing Jimmy 

on the ol’ tape deck back in 

the day. . . 

You said: 

Mark Restieaux – Oh cool, 

just what Christchurch could do 

with after what they have been 

through over the past five years. 

Amanda Dixon – Definitely 

going again next year. 

Leonie Knight – This would 

be awesome. 

Lee Beattie – Awesome lineup. 

Can’t wait.

Things get done in Springfield 

Springfield Township 

Committee secretary 

Sean Ellis writes about 

developments going on in 

the area 

Mention township and most 

people switch off, thinking of a 

room full of people talking all 

night, going around in circles 

and nothing getting decided, but 

not in Springfield. 

We are very aware we are the 

link between our community 

and the district council and go to 

great lengths to keep both parties 

in the loop. 

Using the Springfield Facebook 

page, it has been great for putting 

out information and asking 

for suggestions on the direction 

the township will move. 

We also have a good working 

relationship with our domain 

board and hall committee 

sharing plan ideas and working 

together. 

Having Malvern Community 

Board deputy chairman Kerry 

Pauling attend all meetings 

bridges the gap between 

township and district council 

and get answers to questions in 

a matter of days instead of 

months. 

The committee is made up 

from all walks of life, builders, 

farmers, teachers, mums, business 

owners and a shepherd. We 

meet the first Tuesday of every 

month. 

We encourage members of the 

public to come along if they have 

an issue or a proposal. 

We only ask that they get in 

touch with a member of the committee 

at least a week before the 

meeting, this isn’t to put people 

off, more that we can have the 

answers ready for you when you 

turn up. 

Within the past two years we 

have worked hard to keep moving 

forward to make are small 

town a little better. 

We have reduced the speed 

limit of the town from 70km/h 

to 50km/h and installed a speed 

limit flashing light. 

We have built a state-of-the-art 

set of public toilets and improved 

the parking area to give access to 

coaches. 

We removed six old man pines 

that were making a family life 

hell having to live in permanent 

frosts during the winter months 

and cleared an area of weedinfested 

land, stone-picked it 

sowed it with grass and replanted 

it with trees and now it’s called 

the Tramway Reserve. 

Several oregon pines that 

were crowding out many of the 

oak trees in the area have been 

removed. A 700m walking/cycle 

track along Tramway Rd was 

installed recently. 

We have several ongoing 

projects. A walkway to link up 

the township with the domain 

camping ground. This will run 

from Rewi Alley memorial, along 

the top of the old railway embankment 

across a new culvert 

and down to run parallel with 

the State Highway 73 on land 

donated by the Faulkner family. 

All going well this should be 

completed by the end of August, 

weather permitting. 

Also in the early stages is a 

plan to turn the old town pit into 

a nature trail being planted out 

with natives. 

Finally, a bus stop for the kids 

at far end of the township on a 

small plot of land owned by Jo 

Frecker who has agreed to have 

the bus stop put up there. 

This isn’t the end of our plans 

we are just pausing for breath 

and completing projects before 

adding to the list. 

The committee past and present 

do work hard to keep a little 

bit of heaven. 

Ditch causing concern 

near Sheffield railway line 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

CALLS FOR a chain fence to 

be constructed alongside the 

railway line in Sheffield to 

stop motorists reversing into a 

ditch appears to be getting no 

traction. 

There is a concern motorists 

could back into a trench 

located between a car park and 

railway line running through 

Sheffield. 

The issue was raised at the 

Sheffield-Waddington Community 

Committee in April 

where it was suggested a chain 

fence be placed near the car 

park. 

Secretary Melissa Jebson said 

the committee had followed up 

the issue with Sheffield-based 

KiwiRail train driver Philip 

Newbigging. 

But Mr Newbigging told 

Selwyn Times while he explained 

to the committee why 

the ditch was there, he only 

drives the trains and the issue 

needed to be followed up with 

KiwiRail’s engineering and 

infrastructure team. 

The matter was also referred 

to the Malvern Community 

Board. 

Deputy chairman Kerry 

Pauling said it was unlikely a

chain fence would be put in 

place and KiwiRail were reluctant 

to do anything. 

“From a car park point of 

view they shouldn’t be that 

close to the railway line anyway,” 

he said. 

A KiwiRail spokeswoman 

confirmed the trench was installed 

to provide drainage but 

the land beside the railway line 

is leased to the district council 

and any decision to install a 

fence would need to be made 

by them. 

The district council’s property 

and services co-ordinator 

Rob Allen said it will be liaising 

with KiwiRail to look at the 

line and identify if there are 

any safety issues.

KidsFest bookings 

now open! 

McHughs Forest 

improvements continue 

A drop in morning was recently held where people could find out 

more about current and future projects planned at McHughs Forest 

Park. The park is located just outside Darfield and continues to be 

developed by a group of local volunteers, with support from the 

Council. People attending the session expressed support for the 

direction being taken to manage and improve the park. Everyone 

expressed a desire to see the retention of the natural feel of the 

Park and wanted a ‘light touch’ to be taken with improvements to 

retain the existing forest atmosphere. 

A new toilet has now been developed at the park. A second car 

parking area is nearing completion. A drinking fountain with a dog 

bowl is to be developed, with two picnic tables to be installed 

soon. Work also continues to complete the forming of the second 

half of the mountain bike track along the eastern side of the forest. 

Workers from the Department of Corrections have also been helping 

with this work by grooming the track. 

Future projects planned include some low impact track marking 

signage and the installation of an explanatory sign and map at the 

car park entranceway. This sign can be installed once the mountain 

bike track is finalised. 

KidsFest is set to return this July school holidays with bookings now open. Over 80 events will be 

held in Selwyn as part of KidsFest between 8 and 22 July. 

“KidsFest has lots of fun events and activities for kids to do in the upcoming winter school 

holidays,” says Selwyn District Council’s Senior Events and Recreation Advisor Dave Tippett. 

“Events are expected to fill fast so we advise parents to book early to ensure families can go to 

their preferred events.” 

“Activities planned by the Council include Discomania, Moviemania, a high ropes challenge, 

landscape art class, Kids Market, Filmmaker Masterclasses, acrobatic Comedy and Magic Show, 

Rogaine Rampage, and fun water activities at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre with aqua volleyball and 

handball, inflatables and paddleboats. The libraries are holding a young writers’ course, K’NEX fun 

with Science Alive, LEGO® and Craft! collage artwork.” 

Last year over 1,200 children attended Selwyn District Council organised KidsFest events. Local 

KidsFest events are organised by Selwyn community groups, the Council and local businesses 

and facilities. Some KidsFest events are free, while others are low cost. Booking is required for 

some events. 

KidsFest has been running since 1992. Selwyn families can also attend events in Christchurch 

and Waimakariri. 

For information on KidsFest events and bookings visit www.kidsfest.co.nz, or pick up a KidsFest 

booklet from a Selwyn District Library, the Lincoln Event Centre, Rolleston Community Centre or 

Selwyn Aquatic Centre. 

Drive safe this winter 

June marks the official start of winter and this brings an increased risk of rain, fog, ice and snow. In 

these conditions it is important to slow down and adjust your driving to the conditions. 

Winter also reduces visibility with sunrise occurring later in the mornings and sunset occurring earlier in 

the evening. Many people are on the road driving to or from work in darkness or dim light. Using your 

vehicle lights is a simple way of increasing visibility and improving safety. 

“The way we all drive affects everyone’s safety on the road,” says Selwyn Road Safety Coordinator 

Ngaire Tinning. “Wet and slippery roads and inappropriate speed for the conditions can be unforgiving 

of small mistakes, particularly on bends. It’s important to slow down in challenging weather and allow 

larger following distances on wet roads as it takes longer to stop in these conditions.” 

Some Selwyn residents are reporting drivers not using their lights in rain and fog, while others say they 

have seen cars passing them at speed when they don’t have a clear view of the road ahead. 

Statistics from Selwyn crashes between 2012 and 2016 show that in the winter months (June, July 

and August) there were twice as many accidents in the 6-9am time period as in the summer months 

(December, January and February). A total of 76 crashes occurred in this morning peak period in winter 

between 2012 and 2016, with a total of 38 crashes occurring in this time in the summer. 

Throughout the winter, the Council’s roading 

contractors will be monitoring local roads for ice 

and laying grit when needed. Even when roads are 

covered with grit, motorists still need drive carefully 

and reduce their speed. 

“Taking a few minutes before you set out in the 

morning to clear your windscreen, windows and 

mirrors, and then adjusting your driving for the 

conditions that day will improve your chances of 

arriving safely at your destination,” says Mrs Tinning. 

Free windscreen cloths and ice scrapers are now 

available for a limited time from Council libraries 

and service centres and some rural garages. 

On the roads this week 

Bridge replacement is continuing on Jarvis Road. Pothole repairs 

are planned on Hororata Road. Footpath construction work will 

continue on Birchs Road in Lincoln. Unsealed maintenance work is 

planned on Zig Zag Road. Traffic controls will operate at all sites. 

Christchurch Southern Motorway extension – NZ 

Transport Agency 

The one-way system remains on Waterholes Road from Hamptons 

Road to 833 Waterholes Road running south towards Robinsons 

Road with detours in place, and changes to the road alignment to 

allow for construction of the bridge. Stop-Go systems will be in 

place over the next week along Jones Road, at the intersection with 

Weedons Ross Road during tree felling operations. 

Please be alert to changes in the traffic management, follow the onsite 

signage and drive to the conditions.

Huge Golden Oldies festival 

In just under a year, 

Canterbury will host 

the largest sporting 

event it has ever seen 

– but this one is more 

about having fun 

than winning. Bridget 

Rutherford reports 

THEY ENJOY social sport and a 

good after-match function. 

And next year, more than 

10,000 Golden Oldies will come 

to Canterbury in the largest 

sporting event the city has ever 

seen. 

The aim? Fun, friendship and 

fraternity. 

The Christchurch Casino 

Golden Oldies Sports Celebration 

will run throughout April at 

different locations in the city. 

But this event, organised by 

sport event management, tour 

and travel company Vintage 

Sport and Leisure, will be different 

to any others in Golden 

Oldies’ history. 

Vintage Sport and Leisure 

chief executive Peter McDermott 

said it was designed especially 

for the city following the September 

4, 2010, and February 22, 

2011, earthquakes. 

“[Canterbury Earthquake 

Recovery Authority] asked if 

we could do something that 

would be a bit different and 

encouraging for people to learn 

that Christchurch, despite its 

problems, was well and truly 

regenerating.” 

Normally, Golden Oldies’ 

tournaments for each sport are 

held in different international 

cities every two years. But come 

April, the event will combine 10 

different sports. 

Lawn bowls, golf, squash, 

football and basketball are new, 

while the traditional rugby, 

cricket, netball, hockey and softball 

will feature as well. 

“We’ve never done 10 sports 

in one place. This is designed 

specially for Christchurch,” Mr 

HAVING FUN: Christchurch’s Jacqui Francis, Jude Tuuta, Debbie Elstob, Paula Goodman and 

Rose Cavanagh went to Hobart last year to compete in Golden Oldies netball. 

McDermott said. 

“We anticipate about 10,000 

participants, of which probably 

75 per cent to 80 per cent will 

come from overseas or outside of 

Christchurch.” 

Hagley Park will be the event 

hub, with rugby, cricket, football 

and netball played there. 

Nunweek Park, Cowles 

Stadium, Mizuno Ballpark and 

Papanui Bowling Club will 

host the other codes, with golf 

being played across Harewood, 

Christchurch, Pegasus and 

Terrace Downs golf clubs. The 

squash venue will be finalised 

soon. 

Mr McDermott said although 

Golden Oldies was open to 

anyone over 35, the bulk of participants 

were between 45-65. 

Most participants were from 

New Zealand and Australia. But 

competitors from Japan, Russia, 

the United States, Canada, England 

and Ireland will make the 

journey as well. 

The oldest rugby player who 

had taken part was 87, while at 

last year’s Golden Oldies World 

Rugby Festival in Cardiff there 

were 10 players aged over 80. 

It’s not just the sport they 

come for. “They’re a very social 

group,” Mr McDermott said. 

“They enjoy their sport and to 

mix and mingle and meet other 

people.” 

The event is expected to bring 

$33 million of direct economic 

benefit to Canterbury. 

“Based on our past history, 

they are big spenders on entertainment, 

food and beverage, 

and retail.” 

Canterbury Chamber of 

Commerce chief executive Peter 

Townsend said the city now had 

the infrastructure to accommodate 

an event of this magnitude. 

“It will have a very positive 

economic impact,” he said. 

“We’re going to have a massive 

influx of people who will be able 

to see first-hand what stage we 

are at recreating our city, and 

how good it’s all starting to look, 

and they will go away and tell 

their friends and family what is 

on offer here. That will be a huge 

stimulus for the city.” 

City councillor Tim Scandrett 

said those attending were generally 

big spenders and it was great 

to be able to showcase postquake 

Christchurch. 

“It’s really important to show 

that we are back up and running.” 

For some participants, Golden 

Oldies isn’t their first taste of 

international competition. 

Previously, it has attracted 

ex-internationals such as Brumbies 

coach and former Wallaby 

Stephen Larkham, former All 

Black prop Greg Somerville and 

West Indies cricketing legend 

Joel Garner. 

But Mr McDermott said that 

didn’t intimidate other competitors. 

In fact, it was quite the 

opposite. 

“They love it.” 

At one event, Larkham played 

10min for every team and 10min 

against so everyone got to play 

with and against him, Mr Mc- 

Dermott said. It was too early to 

say whether there would be any 

familiar faces playing next year. 

But Mr McDermott said Garner 

was likely to attend, although 

he was not expected to take to 

the pitch. 

Although most of the games 

were social, there were still 

heated rivalries. 

“There are rivalries, some 

teams come back frequently. 

The Australian and Kiwis have 

a good, friendly rivalry, but they 

like to have the bragging rights.” 

And sometimes, there is an 

opportunity to win a world 

record. 

At Cardiff’s Golden Oldies 

World Rugby Festival, 

participants broke the Guinness 

World Record for the largest 

scrum. 

Welsh referee Nigel Owens 

officiated the scrum, which was 

made up of 1300 people. 

“We’re looking for ideas 

to do something similar in 

Christchurch,” Mr McDermott 

said. 

He said it would “probably” be 

the first and last time the Golden 

Oldies’ event will be held in this 

format, because it was difficult to 

find a city that could host every 

code. 

But it will be an event to 

remember for many. 

“Some of the friendships 

established 20 years ago are still 

very strong,” he said.

SCHOOLS 

GOOD DEED: 

Darfield High 

School year 

8 pupils 

have set up 

a garden 

project to 

help child 

poverty 

organisation 

KidsCan. 

Darfield students dig 

deep to help KidsCan 

A FORGOTTEN corner 

at the back of Darfield 

High School has been 

transformed into a fruit 

and vegetable garden. 

Rubbish and tree stumps 

have been cleared as part 

of a new gardening project 

run by year 8 pupils to 

raise money for KidsCan. 

The pupils are planning 

to run a community market 

day at the school at the 

end of the year when the 

produce is fully grown to 

donate to the organisation. 

More than 150 students 

are taking part in the 

project. 

After writing to numerous 

organisations 

throughout the area, the 

school has received a 

bumper crop of donations 

including timber, strawberry 

plants, raspberries 

and tyres to use as planters 

for the garden. 

Year 8 pupil Sophie 

Dance said the they chose 

KidsCan to fundraise for 

after watching a “shocking” 

documentary about 

child poverty in New 

Zealand. 

“We hope to raise money 

so these children will 

have food and clothes,” she 

said. 

Lincoln University 

professor of ecology Steve 

Wratten visited the school 

to talk to the pupils about 

companion planting, 

pollinators and gave the 

pupils seeds to plant. 

The school also had a 

visit from Mark Davis, 

of contracting company 

Sicon who removed the 

tree stumps to make way 

for the project. 

Other organisations 

to donate to the project 

includes Mitre 10, King 

Seeds, Egmont Seeds, 

West Melton Plant Nursery, 

Southern Woods Plant 

Nursery, Beaurepaires, 

The Warehouse, parents 

and residents in the community.

Local business 

caters for Selwyn 

Nearly all Country Feasts’ staff are Selwyn locals. 

Some of the Country Feasts team. 

We cater for a wide range of events. 

Marian and Holder Frey along with Kathy and 

Red Dawson first began business producing preprepared 

meals, in 2002. Soon after Marian’s 

son, Thomas followed by other children, Oliver, 

Caroline and Sarah, became involved. 

After numerous requests for special function 

catering, their focus shifted to professional 

catering. Word of mouth spread and they were 

soon receiving venue recommendations. 

When the earthquake struck on 4 th September 

2010, Country Feasts was fortunate to be one of 

the few catering businesses not affected. Trading 

continued uninterrupted with a client requesting 

they still cater for her wedding that day. 

In the last five years, Country Feasts Catering has 

grown tremendously. They cater for numerous 

events including weddings, country race 

meetings, sporting functions, A & P shows, school 

events, private functions, funerals, Christmas 

parties, business meetings and conferences. 

Individuals to large organisations are clients 

of Country Feasts Catering. They are the main 

caterers for Country Cricket, Canterbury Tennis 

and the Davis Cup, Mainland Football, the New 

Zealand Sheepbreeders (Christchurch A&P 

Show), Ellesmere A&P Show, Homebush when 

cruise ship passengers visit, and a biannual 

3-day conference at Mt Cheeseman Skifield. 

You will also see them at the Hororata Highland 

Games, this year. 

Country Feasts Catering has the expertise and 

resources to efficiently provide small and large 

event catering; travelling throughout the whole of 

Canterbury and sometimes further afield. It is no 

wonder they have an impressive client line-up. 

Country Feasts offers finger food, buffet, spit 

roast, plated, plattered, breakfasts and barbecue 

options; accommodating specific dietary needs. 

You might choose to have their serviced option 

which includes crockery and cutlery with their 

wonderful staff preparing and serving the food, 

then cleaning-up afterwards. They have a liquor 

licence and their own bar managers and bar staff. 

There is also the option of do-it-yourself where 

Country Feasts delivers the food in disposable 

containers for you and your friends to take over. 

“We like to sit down with our clients and listen to 

their thoughts, making suggestions so they have 

a good mix of food to suit an occasion,” explains 

Marian who advises that sample menus can be 

found on their website with options listed so clients 

can tailor a menu to suit their requirements. 

Nearly all staff employed by Country Feasts 

live locally, many recruited from the Rolleston, 

Prebbleton and Lincoln areas. 

“We employ young and more mature alike,” 

advises Marian who says the work is ideal for 

people who want a little part-time employment 

with them always looking for casual staff, 

especially over the summer months.

Safe route for children 

A NEW footpath in Springfield 

is encouraging children to stay 

away from the roads to get to 

and from school. 

A footpath installed 

recently along Tramway Rd, 

Pocock Rd and Springfield 

School is one of several projects 

to help create a walkway/ 

cycleway network in the township. 

The Springfield Township 

Committee is currently 

working on a walkway to 

link up the township with the 

Kowai Pass Domain Camping 

Ground and it is expected to 

be finished at the end of the 

year. 

The committee and the 

school’s board of trustees first 

put in a request for the footpath 

to the district council’s 

Annual Plan in 2015. 

“It was a highly anticipated 

piece of work, and it is now 

great to see children using 

the footpath over the road for 

play and for getting to school,” 

committee member Catherine 

Barnett said. 

She said it helps keep younger 

members of the community 

safer and with an added benefit 

of making Springfield look 

smarter. 

FUN: Springfield children now have a safe route to and from 

school. 

Tradesman loses 

tools after break-in 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

ROLLESTON RESIDENTS are 

rallying around a local builder 

who has had his tools stolen. 

Old School Builders 

(Christchurch) Ltd builder 

Travis Jansen had about $15,000 

of tools, and a trailer, stolen 

from a work site in Avonhead on 

Sunday night. 

The front window of the 

house, located on Brookby Cres, 

was broken into and Mr Jansen’s 

tools were taken from the bedroom, 

the trailer was taken from 

the garage. 

The self-employed builder had 

left his equipment in the house 

overnight. 

“I could have taken all my 

tools home but because it was 

raining. I left all of my tools in 

one of the bedrooms,” he said. 

The tools include a nail 

gun, rotating laser, finishing 

gun, impacting drill, hammer 

drill, drop saw, small 

screwdrivers, skill saw, router 

and sabre saw. 

“It has taken me two years to 

build up my tools . . . basically 

it is back to square one,” Mr 

Jansen said. 

But after posting on Facebook’s 

Rolleston Community 

Page, Mr Jansen said he had 

been left humbled by the number 

of people who had messaged 

him, offering tools he could 

borrow. 

A police spokeswoman said 

a scene of crime officer has attended 

but there was no forensic 

evidence. 

No arrests have been made. 

Mr Jansen, who has a wife 

and two children, said he 

was unlikely to have any luck 

making an insurance claim, 

having only just changed 

insurance companies about a 

week ago. 

He said he will never leave his 

equipment on-site again and will 

be looking to get GPS tracking 

devices and portable cameras in 

the future.

Southbridge holds off Rakaia 

Nerves and a vocal 

Rakaia home crowd 

could not stop 

Southbridge’s captain 

kicking a late penalty 

to seal a 13-12 win in 

the combined country 

competition on Sunday. 

Andrew King reports 

SPORTS 

AS SOUTHBRIDGE captain 

Shannon Donald lined up a 

penalty in the 73rd minute of the 

Luisetti Cup final, his hands were 

shaking, nerves were shot and he 

copped a verbal spray from the 

opposition supporters. 

“I knew as long as my legs 

didn’t give out, I’d be fine,” he 

said. 

From 38m out, he hit the 

ball cleanly and it sailed right 

through the middle of the uprights. 

Seven minutes later, the onepoint 

lead was enough to give 

them their third title in five years. 

Southbridge’s 13-12 win over 

Rakaia on Sunday was a great 

moment for the 27-year-old firstfive 

– one that didn’t set in until 

he was sipping on his post-match 

beer back in the Southbridge 

Hotel. 

“It is an awesome feeling. We 

have a great bunch of boys and 

supporters, even though we have 

put them through the ringer the 

past few weeks with some close 

games,” he said. 

FAMILY AFFAIR: Southbridge captain Shannon Donald, with 

wife Kathryn and dog Boston, celebrated after the win over 

Rakaia on Sunday. It was the team’s third Lussetti Cup title after 

beating Rakaia 13-12. 

PHOTOS: GILL HAPPER 

Two of those supporters are 

his wife Kathryn and their dog 

Boston. The latter had donned his 

Southbridge jersey to let the opposition 

know who his allegiance 

belonged to. 

The game saw two tries a piece, 

only Rakaia managed to convert 

one of them giving the side a 

12-10 lead, but then with seven 

minutes to go, Donald slotted the 

game winner. 

The celebration raged into the 

small hours of Monday morning 

in Southbridge, with manager 

Chris McMillan saying there will 

be some sore heads, but proud 

players. 

“Some had work in the morning, 

others had exams, so they 

took off a bit earlier, but it did not 

put a dampener on the win,” he 

said. 

The work is not over for the 

Southbridge team who head into 

the Ellesmere competition on 

Saturday unbeaten. They will face 

Waihora – a rematch of last year’s 

final which they won. 

It is the first time the squad 

has held the Coleman Shield and 

Luisetti Cup at the same time 

after Sunday’s win. 

“(Waihora) will be tough at 

home. We are a bit battered and 

bruised but we will be up for that 

game,” McMillan said. 

For Donald, the victory was 

now behind him and he said it 

was about keeping the pressure 

on. 

“We can’t fall asleep now, there 

is still a lot of work to do,” he 

said.

Kiwi Gas fill and sell refurbished gas bottles. 

A passion for good service 

We all have stories of businesses falling short on promises 

leaving us waiting for goods. 

Malcolm Ryder believes when companies cut back deliveries to 

increase profits, poor service is the result. 

“I want to provide service as it should be and once was,” explains 

Malcolm, owner of Kiwi Gas. 

“When you contact Kiwi Gas, you speak to a real person. You’re 

not treated like a number or talking to an off-shore call centre.” 

Locally owned and operated, the Kiwi Gas approach to business 

is simple: competitive, if not cheaper pricing and the fastest 

delivery around. 

“We aim to deliver to customers in 24 hours regardless of 

destination, a promise we’ve kept so far,” advises Malcolm. “It’s 

all about service.” 

No wonder, so many customers are delighted with their 

excellent service. 

Kiwi Gas has been supplying LPG to Christchurch for over 18 

years. At their ‘drive-thru’ at 37 Shands Road in Hornby, they fill 

gas bottles of all sizes with a 9kg fill just $25.90. They also sell 

a full range of refurbished gas bottles, along with gas parts and 

accessories. 

Kiwi Gas also hire outdoor heaters to bars, restaurants, and the 

public for private events from as little as $39 per heater per night. 

Malcolm says Kiwi Gas is as ‘Kiwi As’, ‘fast as’, ‘easy as’ and 

‘sweet as’; descriptors that ring true given their reputation for high 

quality fast turnaround service and active community support. 

“New customers regularly say, the reason they now use us to 

supply their gas, is because they’ve heard of our great service,”

Backyard critters 

Craneflies are important 

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 

A LARGE long-legged fly that 

appears inside your house are 

sometimes called daddy longlegs, 

a common name shared with 

cellar spiders and harvestman. 

The difference is that craneflies 

have six legs and the other two 

species are arachnids that have 

eight legs. 

Craneflies are in the Tipulidae 

family, the most diverse family 

of flies consisting of about 15,000 

species worldwide. 

In New Zealand there are at 

least 600 cranefly species and can 

vary in size depending on the 

species, with the largest being 

30mm long. 

Cranefly larvae, sometimes 

called leatherjackets, have long 

cylindrical bodies and often

live in soil and moist or rotting 

vegetative material. 

They perform important 

ecosystem services of breaking 

down organic matter and 

increasing microbial activity in 

the soil. 

Both adults and larvae are 

valuable prey for many animals, 

but especially birds. 

A common green cranefly endemic 

to New Zealand is called 

Chlorotipula albistigma. 

Larvae of this species burrow

Financial surplus for 

Lincoln University 

A FINANCIAL surplus for 

the first time in a decade and 

a comprehensive ongoing 

programme of organisational 

change are two of the reasons 

behind a significant turnaround 

at Lincoln University. 

Vice-Chancellor, Professor 

Robin Pollard, said the progress 

in returning Lincoln University 

to profitability is the result of a 

clear strategy, strong leadership 

and sustained team work at 

every level of the organisation. 

“In February 2016, a review 

jointly commissioned by the 

Tertiary Education Commission 

and Lincoln University was 

announced, to consider ways to 

ensure the university’s future. 

This was extremely useful in 

focusing minds,” he said. 

The report entitled Strategic 

Options Assessment was completed 

by EY (formerly Ernst & 

Young), and received by Lincoln 

University’s council in mid-2016. 

The Refreshing Lincoln initiative 

began in August 2016 which 

addressed a number of the 

financial, academic and organisational 

issues raised in the EY 

report. 

“We brought together a new 

executive leadership team in a 

short period of time and they 

have driven changes including 

implementing a new business 

model,” says Prof Pollard. 

“This included establishing 

an ‘internal economy’ with each 

operating unit now responsible 

for its own budgets, reporting, 

and monitoring of their operations. 

The Refreshing Lincoln 

programme has also focused on 

reducing costs, reviewing strategic 

assets which may no longer 

be needed, and work to improve 

programme attractiveness and 

increase student numbers.” 

A transformation board was 

appointed, with extensive international 

expertise. 

It is focused on a wide range 

of options to best ensure that 

Lincoln University makes a 

sustainable and significant contribution 

to New Zealand and 

international land-based education 

research. The board will 

report to the Lincoln council in 

October. 

Said Prof Pollard: “There is 

still much work to be done but 

it is significant that at the end of 

2016, for the first time in a decade, 

Lincoln University achieved 

a financial surplus before unusual 

items which the EY report 

predicted would not be achieved 

for at least another 10 years.”

SELWYN TIMES 

Sample the shops and cuisine of Seoul 

• By Mike Yardley 

WHEN I mentioned to 

my Korean hairdresser in 

Christchurch that I was heading 

to Seoul, his response was hardly 

reaffirming. “Why would you 

want to go there?” 

Sure, Seoul doesn’t enjoy the 

reputational hype of Tokyo, 

Shanghai or Bangkok, but as a 

quick stopover or side-trip, the 

city struck me as immensely 

engaging. 

Arriving into Seoul by fast train 

from Incheon Airport, one of 

the first imposing landmarks to 

stop me in my tracks was Namdaemun, 

the city’s South Gate, 

resplendently restored after being 

bombed during the Korean War. 

The gate forms part of Seoul’s 

old city walls, of which 70 per 

cent are remarkably intact. Over 

600 years old, the 18km circuit 

wraps around the city core and 

threads together the four guardian 

mountains that keep watch 

over Seoul. The city continues 

rebuilding the missing chunks but 

if you’re up for a power-walk, in 

every sense, head to the Bukaksan 

section. 

The highest of the four peaks at 

342m, it stands guard over Korea’s 

seat of power and the summit 

viewpoint overlooks the Blue 

House, Korea’s splendid presidential 

palace. 

There’s a variety of royal palaces 

clustered around the central city 

including Gyeongbokgung, 

Seoul’s premier palace which 

has performed a Phoenix-like 

resurrection, from the cinders 

of destruction. It was from here 

that the Joseon Dynasty ruled 

the roost for 600 years, before the 

Japanese muscled in. 

A highly theatrical changing 

of the guard is performed daily, 

purely as a patriotic fist-pump, 

around the entrance gate of 

Gwanghwamun. The blaze of 

colourfully-costumed regalia is 

loved by the locals as much as 

the selfie-stick toting tourists. 

Gyeongbokgung translates as the 

Palace of Shining Happiness, a 

colossal compound of astounding 

CEREMONY: A highly theatrical changing of the guard is performed daily at the entrance gate of Gwanghwamun. Right – The city’s 

South Gate, restored after it was damaged during the Korean War. 

BINGE-WORTHY: Street eats in the Seoul markets. 

architecture, ornamental gardens 

and vivid history. 

It previously contained 800 

buildings and 200 gates. The Joseon 

kings had several thousand 

servants at their disposal within 

the royal household, including 

500 ladies-in-waiting and 400 

eunuchs. 

Trying to get your head around 

the sheer extravagance of this imperial 

relic is best decoded with a 

good guide. 

I explored the palace as part of 

a city tour with VIP Travel, who 

run a great-value and illuminating 

guided sightseeing service. 

www.vviptravel.com 

Perfectly perched in the heart of 

Seoul’s cultural district, Courtyard 

by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun 

delivers a distinct experience, 

with the carnival colour of 

Namdaemun Market, right across 

the road. 

Just one year old, this engaging 

property still has new-hotel-smell, 

and elegantly furnished with all 

the creature comforts you’d expect 

from an ultra-contemporary 

hotel. Wi-fi is free and lightningfast, 

guestrooms are spacious and 

the city views are electrifying. 

You’ll enjoy 24-hour access to 

the generously equipped fitness 

centre, outstanding concierge services, 

impeccable hospitality and 

all-day dining at Momo Café. 

If you want to push the boat 

out, upgrade to executive lounge 

access, where you can enjoy an 

indulgent and exclusive space 

loaded with privileges, headlined 

by complimentary Happy Hour 

drinks and meal-worthy bites, 

showcasing a wide palette of 

Asian culinary delights. courtyard.marriott.com 

The streets of Seoul are packed 

with culinary delights and a onestop-shop 

for bargain buys and 

great bites is the Namdaemun 

Market, a frenetic night-and-day 

emporium that sprawls for blocks 

and is Korea’s biggest market. 

Whether its clothing, accessories 

or handicrafts, each section 

comprises hundreds of stalls, 

spilling across pedestrianised 

streets. 

The sensory overload is most 

graphically illustrated by the profusion 

of food stalls, sizzling with 

binge-worthy things on sticks and 

in bowls, which will soon challenge 

your stomach space. 

Best bites include odeng, fishcake 

skewers seasoned in springonion 

soup; tteokbokki, spicy rice 

cakes that are revved up with redpepper 

paste; and dakkochi, the 

ubiquitous barbequed chicken on 

skewers in a sticky, tangy sauce. 

They are nearly as pervasive 

as kimchi, Korea’s great staple of 

salted, seasoned and fermented 

vegetables. 

Don’t leave town without trying 

Korean doughnuts, hotteok, spicy 

pancakes stuffed with sunflower 

seeds, peanuts, red beans and 

honey. Namdaemun Market is 

centrally located in Myeongdong, 

which is Seoul’s shopaholic 

mecca. All of the global fashion 

heavyweights are here, alongside 

chic Asian faves and the templelike 

department stores. 

Pop into Mitsukoshi, the Harrods 

of Seoul, and the city’s oldest 

department store with an opulent 

food hall in the basement. My 

local guide told me that 20 pr cent 

of Seoul’s women have facial surgery. 

They binge on cosmetic perfectionism 

and you’ll see a surfeit 

of specimens in Mitsukoshi. 

FAST FACTS 

•I booked my side-trip 

to Seoul from Japan 

through the leading 

global airfare comparison 

platform, Cheapflights.

of Cheapflights has now

Driven 

Highlander true to Toyota ideology 

• By Ross Kiddie 

TOYOTA’S Highlander has long 

been regarded as the quintessential 

large sport utility vehicle. 

It’s known for its four-wheeldrive 

capability, powerful petrol 

engine, seven-seat configuration 

and high levels of refinement. 

All of those attributes have 

been expanded on with an allnew 

model landing here early 

this year. 

The new Highlander has lost 

none of its credibility, it has had 

an engine upgrade – power is 

up 17kW and 13Nm yet it also 

gets a 1.1l/100km fuel usage saving 

– it is now listed from a 9.1 to 

9.5l/100km (31mpg) combined 

cycled average. 

Elsewhere, the Highlander 

reeks of sophistication, it is 

comfortable and has a wealth 

of specification, especially in 

Limited form as tested. Column 

space doesn’t allow for comprehensive 

detailing, but I can report 

it wants for nothing yet it could 

well be described as a value for 

money model. 

The new Highlander is also 

available in two-wheel-drive variations, 

there are three grades with 

the range starting at $63,490 for 

a 4WD GX variant, a GXL lists 

at $66,490 and $70,490 (4WD),

That’s top price for a car in

SUV that sets standards in the big 

sector. 

As mentioned, there’s a new 

engine in Highlander. It still gets 

a variation of the old V6 that has 

served Toyota and Lexus well, but 

the new engine has an edge over 

it with higher levels of refinement 

and those performance increases. 

It is now rated at 218kW with 

350Nm of torque coming in at

spent a lot of time in city traffic 

in the test car, so my overall 

average didn’t match Toyota’s, but 

when I took the test car back to 

the dealership it was still showing 

9.6l/100km (29mpg) which I 

didn’t think was excessive. 

I took the test car on my usual 

loop west taking in a back road 

from Sheffield to Coalgate. It’s a 

badly rutted route, and from the 

outset the Highlander impressed 

with its suspension control over 

the corrugations and ability to put 

power to ground. The tyres on the 

test car were a Toyo compound 

(245/55 x 19in) and they extracted 

grip well along with providing a 

quiet ride on sealed surfaces. 

The same could be said of the 

entire vehicle, it sits on the outer 

periphery of the luxury car market 

so its levels of noise, vibration 

and harshness are extremely low. 

That makes for a relaxing highway 

cruise. 

The suspension is a complex 

fully independent system, the 

Highlander isn’t quite as rugged 

underneath as its Fortuner 

stablemate, but both are destined 

for different markets, the 

Highlander is a cross-country 

charger, and is certainly not a full 

off-road vehicle. 

That aside, most won’t venture 

far from the seal, and that’s why 

front-wheel-drive only models 

are available, but for those who 

do want to take the family camping 

to those high country lakes 

the four-wheel-drive variant is 

capable. 

Toyota have been served well by 

Highlander, it has been a popular 

model here. That doesn’t surprise 

me, it imparts an involving driving 

sensation, one of solidity and 

safety, the latter of course, five-star 

Australasian New Car Assessment 

Program rated. 

The Highlander is sourced 

from Toyota’s United States manufacturing 

operation and reeks of 

quality. It is the family-friendly 

wagon which does everything 

without fuss and always pleases 

with its all round performance 

and reliability.

Stay safe on the 

road this winter 

Safer roads mean sensible driving and 

roadworthy vehicles. Winter driving is 

more demanding due to bad weather and 

sinking sun affecting visibility and road 

conditions. 

Adopt a common sense, defensive 

approach to driving by: 

• observing distance and road conditions, 

having a 2-4 second gap to stop in time 

and reducing speed when wet or greasy. 

• driving slower on shingle roads to avoid 

losing control. 

• reducing speed on side roads when the 

road camber/curve could affect vehicle 

handling. 

• showing courtesy by pulling over so cars 

can pass when going slow. 

• keeping left and only passing when a

THE BEAUTIFUL DOUBLE 

GLAZING ALTERNATIVE 

The cellular construction of Luxaflex Duette® shades 

puts an insulation layer between you and the cold air 

outside. It’s like double glazing, but easier to install. 

Often copied but never equalled, Luxaflex cellular window shades 

are surprisingly efficient at preventing heat loss. Whether you choose 

single-cell Duette shades or patented triple-cell Duette® Architella® 

shades, you’re getting an advanced window covering solution that can 

outperform standard double glazing. Available in a range of beautiful 

colours and textures, Luxaflex Duette shades can be automated with 

PowerView technology. You can also specify day-night and 

top-down-bottom-up configurations. 

Unique to Luxaflex, Duette 

Architella shades have triple 

cell construction for insulation 

performance that’s up to 33% 

higher than double glazing.

SELWYN TIMES 

The gateway to 

This year’s early cold weather and 

frequent coatings of snow on the Southern 

Alps offers hope of a good year for Selwyn’s 

ski fields. 

Skiers travelling to Porters and Arthur’s 

Pass ski fields will likely pass through 

Darfield, as might those heading to Mt 

Hutt. 

On the way, stop off for a cooked 

breakfast, early morning snack or some 

ski equipment. At the end of the day, relax 

over a coffee then browse the shops. You 

can also top-up with petrol and enjoy an 

evening meal before continuing on home. 

With Darfield 200 metres above sea 

level, it is also a good place to start a search 

for snow, for the children to play in after 

Darfield’s skate park.

SELWYN TIMES



Gardening 

Window dressing 

No matter whether your garden is big or small, there’s 

plenty more room to grow on the windowsill says 

Rachel Vogan 

TIMES CHANGE and so do gardens. 

This winter sees me relocating to a new 

abode; a barn conversion. I have had a 

seismic shift of sorts, going from a large 

established garden to nothing. I am back 

to the start-from-scratch scenario, and it’s 

both fun and challenging. 

Therefore, my crops this winter have to 

be portable, productive, tasty and easy to 

grow. 

As there is little room for much outside 

just yet, all my edibles are growing on the 

windowsills around the new dwelling. It’s 

almost like living in an apartment. 

1. ROCKET 

Where, oh where, would I be without 

rocket? I grow both the perennial and 

annual types and through winter the 

serrated peppery leaves of the come-again 

variety are one of my go-to crops. Either 

sow seeds now or treat yourself to some 

seedlings. The trick to keep the leaves 

coming is to pick and harvest on a regular 

basis. Not a lot of root room is required 

either, so a plant will readily grow in a 

takeaway coffee cup, if the container starts 

to get a bit ratty, slip a new one underneath 

the original one. Too easy. 

2. BASIL 

Yes, crazy I know, but it will keep growing 

as a cutting in a glass of water over winter if 

your kitchen doesn’t drop below 10°C very 

often. And, so far, mine is chugging away 

with plenty of vigour, mostly due to the log 

burner, which is constantly burning to keep 

the temperatures from plummeting. 

3. PARSLEY 

What a campaigner this crop is. The curly 

type is happy as, quietly hanging out on 

the windowsill. I use a lot of it, so it never 

gets too leggy. Pinch the stalks right back to 

the base of the plant to keep the new flush 

of flavour-filled leaves coming through 

quicker and faster. 

4. LETTUCE 

The frilly lettuces are thriving. Whilst they 

can get a bit leggy if I give them too much 

water, or leave them too long between 

harvest, they quickly re-grow new leaves 

once I pluck them or give them a haircut 

with the nail scissors. I rotate the pots 

every few days so as the plants retain an 

even shape. 

5. MICROGREENS 

These pint-sized seedlings are just the 

ticket in winter. They are bigger than 

sprouted seeds, but smaller than salad 

leaves. Last year I grew them for the first 

time and this year they are making an 

appearance once again. I sow them into 

those shallow takeaway containers with a 

few holes poked into the bottom. 

6. ARTHRITIS HERB – GOTU KOLA 

(CENTELLA ASIATICA) 

This wee gem is sensitive to frost, so 

it needs to be tucked up inside. It will 

cope with a spot away from direct light, 

especially if the windowsill is getting a bit 

full with other crops. I grow mine in the 

bathroom. 

I grow this purely for medicinal reasons; 

it helps ease general aches and pains and 

has definitely helped reduce my blood 

pressure. Some people swear it eases 

arthritic pain. Two leaves a day does the 

trick, easily chopped finely into a salad 

or thrown in with the greens for a 

smoothie. 

COMPACT: Little lettuce (left) and gotu 

kola are easy to grow in tight spaces.

Question: 

Answer: 

What can I do to look after my garden in winter so it doesn’t 

get damaged by the cold and the frosty nights? 

As we head further into 

winter, it is a good 

idea to make sure that 

your garden and plants are protected from the chilly 

temperatures and the frosts and possible snow. Firstly, 

if you haven’t added some Organic Compost in the last 

year, add a layer of that now. This will add essential 

organic matter, creating a great growing environment 

for your plants, and keep your garden in good health. 

Next, choose a bark mulch to add to the top. Bark 

helps to keep the moisture in, keep weeds down, and 

maintain a more even soil temperature. With the drop in 

air temperature, you want to keep the soil temperature 

as even as you can. Plants don’t like the big changes 

between cold and hot, it can put them in distress. 

Choosing a bark is mostly a personal preference, 

depending on what look you are going for, and how much you want to spend. Super Scree is a 

popular choice for an all-round general bark mulch. Our Black Beauty is the one for you if you 

are looking for a stand out on the garden. We would recommend having a look on our website 

at what we have to offer, or better yet, come into our yard and see it for yourself! We have a 

great delivery service available, and trailers you can hire if you don’t have one of your own.

New questions to be received 

by Tuesday 20th June. 

how much bark do I need? 

Working out how much bark you need is fairly simple. 

Measure the area that you are looking to cover (keeping the 

units all the same) and then multiply the length, by the width, 

by the depth. This will give you the number of cubic metres 

required to cover the area. We would recommend a 10cm 

layer to get all of the benefits. 

E.g. 10m (length) x 5m (width) x .1m (depth) 

= 5x10x.1 = 5 cubic metres of bark.

NZTA has now closed the original Main South Road entrance to Intelligro. For the 

remainder of June, access to Intelligro is only available via the Curraghs Road end of 

Manion Road. Follow Manion road along the railway line and you will find us where 

“261” is on the map. Access from Weedons Ross Road will not be available until later 

in June/early July while the contractors finish sealing Manion Road. 

While these changes are out of our hands, we would like to extend our thanks to you all for 

your patience and understanding as these changes take place. The new road will definitely 

make things a lot safer for everyone, so we are looking forward to having it all completed. 

Once the road is all sealed, you will be able to access Intelligro from both the Weedons 

Ross Road, and Curraghs Road entrances. Our new address will be 261 Manion Road. 

If you are travelling 

from Rolleston, 

or surrounding 

areas and would 

usually come up 

from Weedons Ross 

Road, you will need 

to go along Jones 

Road, turn right 

onto Curraghs Road, 

and then right into 

Manion Road just 

after the railway. 

We are still open for business! 

If you are at all unsure about what is 

going on, give us a call 03 3479 415, 

email us info@igro.co.nz or check 

out our website www.igro.co.nz for 

more updates. 

If you are travelling 

from Christchurch, the 

best way to Intelligro 

is to turn right from 

Main South Road 

onto Curraghs Road, 

then left onto Manion 

Road just before the 

railway.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Supporting the community 

While the name Harcourts is synonymous 

with real estate, many are probably unaware 

of the significant part this organisation plays 

in supporting the community; something 

that is at the heart of its core values. 

Two goals influence Harcourts – people 

first and doing the right thing. Stemming 

from these values, the Harcourts Foundation 

was established and so far it has helped 

thousands of people in New Zealand and 

overseas. 

Any person or organisation can apply for 

funding with health, schools, surf lifesaving 

and many more having benefitted from 

grants or other assistance. 

Recently, the Harcourts Four Seasons 

Realty (through the Foundation) supported 

the school children in Kaikoura, when its staff 

collected and assembled school supplies, with 

every child given a school backpack loaded 

with pens and books for the start of the 

school year. 

Locally, the Foundation financially assisted 

the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra’s 

programme where music was taken into 

schools, giving students the chance to 

hear orchestral music and learn about the 

instruments. 

Within Selwyn, Harcourts have been 

significant players in funding the setting up 

of the new St John centre in Rolleston, with 

considerable fundraising carried out by the 

Harcourts’ team who held events including a 

public quiz night with a charity auction. 

Harcourts Four Seasons Realty also have 

a history of assisting the Hornby Rugby 

Club junior division, supplying items that 

a sports club can struggle to pay for such as 

player jackets, duffle bags, promotional flags, 

marque use and trophies for player of the day. 

The Foundation is also primary sponsor of 

the Harcourts’ Cancer Society Ball, an annual 

winter event that will be held this month. 

There are other exciting plans under wraps 

for more support of key community activities. 

Harcourt’s Four Seasons Realty has three 

offices at Hornby, Halswell and Rolleston. 

They specialise in residential properties, rural 

lifestyle, property management and some 

commercial, conducting business across 

Christchurch and beyond. 

Sixty people make up the Harcourt’s Four 

Seasons Realty team, covering sales and 

administration, focussing on Christchurch’s 

south west and the Selwyn district. In the 

sales team there is tremendous experience, 

many having been with the company for over 

25 years. Most live and work in the same area 

allowing them to have an intimate knowledge 

of the district. 

They can assist people looking to buy or 

sell a family home or investment property, or 

with property management and are always 

happy to sit down and chat with clients. 

Tapping into their local knowledge and 

expertise means you work with one of the 

longest established real estate companies 

in the area of the Selwyn district and south 

western parts of Christchurch. 

To find out more, contact Harcourt’s Four 

Seasons Realty on 349 9919 (Hornby),

Building sites and sections 

What comes first, selecting a house design or the building site? 

RatheR than a chicken and egg 

situation, the building site should 

generally be chosen first. It does help to 

have a conceptual idea of the home desired 

including its potential size and important 

features like plenty of outdoor living 

space. address the details once a section 

is secured or the location of the home 

determined. 

Sections vary considerably in size. 

Smaller sections start around the 350 

square metre mark with many in housing 

estates ranging between 600 and 800 

square metres. Larger sections around the 

1,000 to 2,000 square metres, or larger can 

also be found in some sub-divisions while 

lifestyle properties and farms usually offer 

plenty of room to build. 

Sub-divisions often stipulate minimum 

and maximum floor sizes for the 

varying section sizes. There will also be 

requirements on recession planes, building 

distance from each boundary and type 

of fences allowable, influenced by local 

council regulations. Other factors will be 

how the land is zoned and covenants such 

as not having a caravan on show at the 

front of the property. 

It can be tempting to leap in and choose 

a floor design before the land space is 

chosen however, it is better to hold off as 

the size and orientation of a section will 

impact on the suitability of the house 

design especially if the section is smaller, 

narrow or oddly shaped. 

The section’s orientation towards the sun 

and direction of the prevailing winds are 

Ideally the building site is chosen before the house plan. 

also considerations. For example, it may 

be nice if the morning sun comes into 

the living area but only having a north 

east outdoor living space may not be so 

appealing, especially if entertaining in the 

afternoon when a cooler easterly breeze 

is up. It might also be nice to have an 

extra seating area that is away from the 

northwest wind which can be quite strong 

at times. 

Ideally, family living is most desirable 

in a north to northwest orientation 

though designs can be created that make 

the most of any section. It might involve 

stepping the plan in and out or having 

two wings with a recessed area that offers 

shelter. Fences and plantings might also 

be incorporated to form shelter belts for 

secluded and pleasant outdoor garden 

settings and a private space fenced off for 

a swimming or spa pool. The house might 

also be set back from the street to allow 

more off-street parking, something that 

might also influence the size of the section 

chosen. 

Before deciding on a section, narrow 

the options down to several that you like 

then ask a designer or builder to look 

at them to give their opinion on how a 

house could be built for best effect, taking 

account of the elements and the lifestyle 

you want to have in your home. 

Ideally family living is sited north 

to northwest. 

Match the section size to your 

lifestyle needs. 

Fences and plants provide privacy and shelter. 

A design can be stepped to capitalise on sun and allow shelter.
