Bid to solve illegal rubbish dumping<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A CRACK down on illegal<br />
rubbish dumping is under way in<br />
the district.<br />
The district council want<br />
people to report and record the<br />
number plate of any vehicle<br />
involved in illegal dumpings.<br />
It comes after several incidents<br />
of what is known as fly-tipping<br />
in the past month.<br />
In a bid to address the problem,<br />
the district council has<br />
undertaken a rubbish survey<br />
focusing on more rural-remote<br />
areas.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton said it<br />
is looking at its rubbish provision<br />
to make disposal easier for the<br />
community.<br />
In the past 12 months. 324<br />
service requests for roadside rubbish/street<br />
cleaning have been<br />
made.<br />
But the district council’s roading<br />
engineer Mark Chamberlain<br />
said while not all of these reports<br />
were related to fly-tipping.<br />
“People that dump rubbish on<br />
roadsides don’t care what effect<br />
it has on the environment or<br />
on the <strong>Selwyn</strong> community...its<br />
very difficult to find those who<br />
illegally dump rubbish as it often<br />
occurs at night,” he said.<br />
Most recently, a large pile of<br />
rubbish containing glass, concrete,<br />
buckets, household waste,<br />
underfloor matting and carpet<br />
was found on Finlays Rd in West<br />
Melton.<br />
The rubbish has since been<br />
cleaned up.<br />
The new rubbish survey<br />
released targets improving the<br />
disposal of rubbish for residents<br />
living in off-route rural areas to<br />
prevent future illegal rubbish<br />
dumpings.<br />
As a result of the survey,<br />
Darfield and Leeston have been<br />
identified as areas in need of<br />
recycling stations for properties<br />
living away from the rubbish collection<br />
route.<br />
It showed nearly 170 rural residents<br />
would like to see more 24/7<br />
drop-off facilities for disposing<br />
rubbish.<br />
About 90 residents would<br />
like to see more drop-off points<br />
closer to their home on a refuse<br />
collection route.<br />
Highest cause of frustrations<br />
was the kerbside collections<br />
and recycling/recovery parks<br />
being too far away. The district<br />
council’s solid waste manager<br />
Andrew Boyd said 92 per cent<br />
of households have access to<br />
kerbside wheelie bin services.<br />
He said solutions to the problem<br />
include garden waste and scrap<br />
metal community days in Malvern<br />
and Leeston.<br />
The rubbish survey showed<br />
the most common ways for the<br />
disposal of off-route rubbish<br />
was burning it (35 per cent),<br />
using a private contractor’s bin<br />
(34 per cent) and taking it to a<br />
kerbside/drop off point (28 per<br />
cent).<br />

FROM<br />
THE<br />
EDITOR’S<br />
DESK<br />
THERE’S GOOD things on<br />
the horizon for the Leeston<br />
area, and wider district in<br />
general.<br />
On page 7 today, we outline<br />
the Ellesmere Heritage Park<br />
Trust’s vision to promote tourism<br />
in the district, which apart<br />
from the skifields and a few<br />
other things is fairly skinny.<br />
It hasn’t happened overnight,<br />
though – the vision has<br />
been six years in the making.<br />
Let’s hope it doesn’t take that<br />
long to get the vision off the<br />
ground.<br />
Speaking of new things The<br />
Black Door Bar and Eatery has<br />
opened in Lincoln.<br />
Word on the street in<br />
Lincoln is it’s good. The beer’s<br />
reasonably priced, the food is<br />
very good and the staff are fantastic,<br />
according to some of the<br />
boys who went in on Friday<br />
and Saturday night.<br />

Back to normal after massive rainfall<br />
A Civil Defence state of<br />
emergency has been<br />
lifted for the district<br />
following the wild<br />
weather which raged<br />
across the area at the<br />
weekend. Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
reports<br />
RESIDENTS FROM <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Huts and Chamberlains Ford<br />
were evacuated, while residents<br />
north of Coes Ford selfevacuated.<br />
The Leeston Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade had about 10 weather-related<br />
call-outs over the weekend.<br />
Chief fire officer Lloyd Clausen<br />
said everything has basically<br />
gone back to normal.<br />
“We evacuated two people<br />
out of Chamberlains Ford, with<br />
a four-wheel-drive tractor. The<br />
water was about waste deep,” he<br />
said.<br />
The brigade also did sand-bagging<br />
around Leeston and Doyleston<br />
and assisted with evacuating<br />
residents from <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts<br />
along with the Lincoln Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade.<br />
Lincoln chief fire officer Jeremy<br />
Greenwood said the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
River breached the stock-banks<br />
making it difficult for services to<br />
access the huts and army trucks<br />
were called into assist.<br />
Sheffield chief fire officer<br />
Neville Croy said the area got off<br />
very lightly and the brigade was<br />
not called to assist Darfield or<br />
Springfield.<br />
Meanwhile, tensions have risen<br />
after the district council shut off<br />
Springfield’s potable water supply<br />
from Saturday 10pm to 9am<br />
Sunday morning due to high<br />
turbidity conditions.<br />
A water tanker was sent to the<br />
Springfield Community Centre<br />
and was still there yesterday.<br />
A precautionary boil water notice<br />
remains in place for properties<br />
connected to the Springfield<br />
water supply until further notice.<br />

A post was made on the<br />
Springfield Community Hub,<br />
NZ page on Facebook by resident<br />
Andrew Sanderson on the water<br />
supply being cut off.<br />
“Two thousand dollars a year<br />
rates, three days of torrential<br />
rain and Springfield has no water<br />
available for residents?...maybe<br />
it’s time some of the rate’s spend<br />
got put into assets and not parks<br />
for Rolleston,” he said.<br />
But Springfield Township<br />
Committee chairman Graeme<br />
Dawson said the comments<br />
online were unfair and uninformed.<br />
“I am disappointed<br />
in the reaction of some of the<br />
people...we (the township) tried<br />
to get around the town and<br />
advise them what was going on,”<br />
he said.<br />
A $120,000 water treatment<br />
plant has been built in the village<br />
after lobbying from the Springfield<br />
Township Committee and<br />
is to be commissioned at the end<br />
of this month Mr Dawson said if<br />
water is pumped out of the river,<br />
given the amount of rain there is<br />
going to be a turbidity problem.<br />
But Springfield chief fire officer<br />
Grant Williams said he did not<br />
blame residents for being unhappy<br />
about having their water<br />
supply cut off.<br />
“The district council have got<br />
to address water issues at the<br />
village at some stage...in saying<br />
that there are a lot of critics out<br />
there,” he said.<br />

Tai Tapu toilet<br />

TRYING TO find the public<br />

a police call out to Lincoln<br />
University.<br />
Just after noon yesterday,<br />
police went to the university after<br />
someone spotted a gun in the back<br />
of a vehicle parked in the car park.<br />
there was no sign in place at the<br />
domain.<br />
Tai Tapu Library chairman Robert<br />
White said while it was good<br />
a new sign was being installed, he<br />
could not understand the district<br />
council did not put the words “the<br />
toilets are at the domain” on State<br />
Highway 75.<br />

people to travel until they get to<br />
the next sign . . . any way I don’t<br />
know,” he said.<br />

Tourism boost aim of heritage park<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
DESTINATION: Plans have been put forward to transform an old district council workshop yard<br />
into a heritage park. <br />
THE VISION for a major<br />
overhaul to fast-track Ellesmere<br />
into a tourist destination has<br />
been revealed.<br />
The plans, presented by the<br />
Ellesmere Heritage Park Trust at<br />
a district council meeting, have<br />
been more than six years in the<br />
making.<br />
The presentation was made by<br />
trust chairman Chris Peacock<br />
and Geraint Howells, of Include<br />
Ltd, who helped produce the<br />
plans.<br />
“If you want tourists, you are<br />
going to have to provide quality<br />
tourist destinations,” Mr Howells<br />
said.<br />
The plans centre around transforming<br />
a former district council<br />
workshop yard into a cultural<br />
and heritage park.<br />
A museum, two exhibition<br />
spaces, multiple heritage buildings<br />
and a community centre<br />
with a theatre have been earmarked<br />
for the site on Leeston<br />
Rd, bordering the Ellesmere A &<br />
P Showgrounds.<br />
The plan is to earthquakestrengthen<br />
the old workshop<br />
shed and convert it into a museum<br />
to display more than 7000<br />
of the trust’s artefacts.<br />
A building permit is being<br />
sought for the trust’s historic cottage,<br />
which is already on site and<br />
will be restored.<br />
The trust hopes to source other<br />
heritage buildings from around<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> for the site.<br />
Plans have also been pitched to<br />
include a potential campervan/<br />
camp site, an i-SITE visitor<br />
information centre, store shed,<br />
picnic area, playground and<br />
bicycle hire.<br />
It is estimated the entire heritage<br />
park site project would cost<br />
about $600,000.<br />
Trust member Grant Clausen<br />
said the project will be a catalyst<br />
for improving tourism in the<br />
area.<br />
But he said the plans were only<br />
a vision at this stage and were yet<br />
to be finalised.<br />
With an emphasis on bringing<br />
more tourists into the area,<br />
additional ideas for a heritage<br />
trail, horse trekking and walking<br />
tracks have been put forward.<br />
The heritage trail would run<br />
from Akaroa to Timaru, while<br />
horse trekking, cycle and walking<br />
tracks could be established<br />
around Lake Ellesmere/Te<br />
Waihora.<br />
Mr Clausen said<br />
the lake has two<br />
bird sanctuaries<br />
and, in spite of<br />
algal bloom, still<br />
has eels, trout and<br />
flounder living in<br />
it. While Mr Clausen<br />
did not wish<br />
to say how much<br />
Pat<br />
McEvedy<br />
had been fundraised, the trust<br />
has raised enough to undertake<br />
research into the project.<br />
The district council has put<br />
$20,000 into the project. A<br />
timeline for the project is yet to<br />
be established. The next step will<br />
be further consultation with the<br />
public and the trust will begin<br />
applying for funding applications.<br />
Councillor Pat McEvedy said<br />
the district council has done a<br />
good job supporting the trust,<br />
and the trust has rewarded it by<br />
coming back with a vision.<br />

$1.5m donation fails to surface for Maddie<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
THE WOMAN who made a<br />
$1.5million pledge that could<br />
help save West Melton teenager<br />
Maddie Collins’ life has gone to<br />
ground.<br />
Maddie’s family have not heard<br />
from the woman since Thursday<br />
- when The star newspaper<br />
revealed that the woman’s pledge<br />
was likely to be bigus.<br />
Maddie’s family are devastate<br />
dthe woman is unlikely to have<br />
the money.<br />
A middle-aged woman told<br />
the family she would donate<br />
the money from a $42 million<br />
inheritance, enough to pay for<br />
Maddie’s treatment for kidney<br />
failure.<br />
The woman visited the family’s<br />
home to discuss the donation<br />
and continually phones and<br />
Facebook messages them.<br />
But Maddie’s mother Sarah<br />
Manson Collins now believes the<br />
offer is false.<br />
It has distressed the family<br />
considerably.<br />
“It’s that utter sense of false<br />
hope. When we met her we<br />
thought all our stresses and<br />
worries were gone,” Mrs Manson<br />
Collins told The Star.<br />
“We thought we’ll get the<br />
transplant, and by next year<br />
Maddie will be fighting fit and<br />
able to get on with life,” she said.<br />
Maddie, 13, has kidney failure<br />
with potentially life-threatening<br />
complications. Her family has<br />
been involved in a high profile<br />
fundraising campaign to get<br />
her a kidney transplant and follow<br />
up treatment in the United<br />
States.<br />
They visited the Baltimore<br />
hospital where the operation will<br />
take place last month and were<br />
told the cost had jumped from<br />
$350,000 to more than $700,000.<br />
About $170,000 has so far been<br />
raised for the St Margaret’s College<br />
year 9 student.<br />
The family was approached by<br />
the woman via Facebook early<br />
last month who asked to meet<br />
in person at their West Melton<br />
home to give them a cheque.<br />
The woman spent an hour at<br />
their home but didn’t have the<br />
cheque, saying she needed to<br />
organise it with the bank.<br />
Since then the woman has<br />
made many more promises to<br />
pay, which haven’t eventuated.<br />
The latest was on Wednesday<br />
morning when the woman said<br />
on Facebook Messenger she had<br />
arranged the bank transfer last<br />
Monday, but could not check it<br />
DISAPPOINTED: Animal-lover Maddie Collins, pictured with<br />
her pony, Trig, and mum, Sarah Manson Collins, has been left<br />
feeling shattered after a bogus $1.5m donation pledge, which<br />
would have paid for the kidney treatment she needs. PHOTO:<br />
MARTIN HUNTER<br />
as she said she was on holiday in<br />
Dunedin.<br />
In the message she told Mrs<br />
Manson Collins: “A transfer did<br />
go out but not too sure where.<br />
“Sorry about this mucking<br />
around it would be stressful time<br />
for you all. Not just Maddie but<br />
the whole family.”<br />
Mrs Manson Collins sai dthey<br />
had not heard again from the<br />
woman.<br />
The constant hope of the donation<br />
was cruel.<br />
“That could mean my daughter’s<br />
life,” said Mrs Manson<br />
Collins.<br />
She said the woman seemed<br />
genuine when she visited the<br />
house. She was aged in her 50s.<br />
She was completely bewildered<br />
about why the woman would do<br />
that to them, or what she was<br />
trying to achieve.<br />
The family are looking to get<br />
a kidney transplant at the John<br />
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,<br />
as there is more chance of getting<br />
a donated kidney, and the treatment<br />
offered there would make<br />
it more likely Maddie’s body<br />
would accept it, even if it was not<br />
a perfect match. Maddie’s father,<br />
Adam Collins, donated one of<br />
his kidneys to her in 2012, but<br />
her body rejected it.<br />
This year Maddie was told the<br />
daily dialysis treatment she is on<br />
has put so much strain on her<br />
heart, she was at risk of a heart<br />
attack. That made the need for a<br />
kidney transplant more urgent.<br />
Attempts by The Star to contact<br />
the woman have been futile.<br />
But a family member tracked<br />
down said she had been known<br />
to have “told some whoppers” in<br />
the past.<br />
He was unaware of the $42<br />
million inheritance.<br />

Inquiry outcome this week<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
A JUNIOR female rugby coach<br />
stood down after she allegedly<br />
verbally and physically abused<br />
a young player will know this<br />
week if she will face a formal<br />
hearing.<br />
West Melton under-14.5s<br />
coach Amanda Tomlinson<br />
has been sidelined while the<br />
Canterbury Rugby Football<br />
Union investigates the matter.<br />
The incident happened<br />
during her team’s match against<br />
Lincoln under-14.5s on <strong>July</strong> 8.<br />
Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union<br />
president Stuart Boon said he<br />
expected the CRFU report to<br />
come back in the next couple of<br />
days, which would recommend<br />
if there would a hearing.<br />
A complaint was laid against<br />
Tomlinson by the Lincoln<br />
Rugby Club.<br />
Police are investigating but<br />
won’t say what into.<br />
Tomlinson said last week<br />
she grabbed the Lincoln player<br />
by his collar after he kicked<br />
a player from her team in the<br />
mouth during the match.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
understands the inquiry is also<br />
looking at an allegation the<br />
player was held by the throat.<br />
PRE-GAME: The West Melton under-14.5 team, which is<br />
coached by Amanda Tomlinson (inset), before the match in<br />
which the incident happened.<br />
“I didn’t physically assault<br />
him, I didn’t. I grabbed him<br />
by the collar of his shirt so he<br />
would look me in the eye,” she<br />
said.<br />
The West Melton player<br />
needed dental surgery, she<br />
said.<br />
“His teeth were facing his<br />
tonsils, basically. That doesn’t<br />
happen in a game of rugby,” she<br />
said.<br />
Tomlinson regretted what<br />
happened, but said she had<br />
to intervene before the boy’s<br />
“behaviour escalates”.<br />
She said she talked with the<br />
boy again after the match and<br />
made peace with him.<br />
“We’ve talked, we’ve hugged<br />
each other,” she said.<br />
Tomlinson said she was upset<br />
a complaint had been laid.<br />
“I spend so much of my<br />
time with these young teams,<br />
two hours on a Tuesday or a<br />
Thursday and two or three<br />
hours on a Saturday, and for<br />
no reward. So it just hurts,” she<br />
said.<br />
Lincoln Rugby Club junior<br />
advisory board manager Mike<br />
Kingston said the boy who had<br />
been grabbed by Tomlinson<br />
was not injured.<br />
He would not comment on<br />
Tomlinson saying the Lincoln<br />
player had kicked a West<br />
Melton opponent in the face.<br />
West Melton Rugby Football<br />
Club president Anthony Calder<br />
refused to comment.<br />
In Brief<br />
CAMPERVAN CRASH<br />
Black ice was the cause of a<br />
campervan tipping over at Porters<br />
Pass near Lake Lyndon on Sunday<br />
morning. The Springfield and<br />
Sheffield fire brigades were called<br />
out to assist with the campervan<br />
accident. Springfield chief fire<br />
officer Grant Williams said no-one<br />
was hurt.<br />
FONTERRA’S BIG PLANS<br />
Fonterra has announced plans for<br />
two new cream cheese plants for<br />
its site in Darfield. A $150 million,<br />
two-stage project will see the first<br />
plant completed in 2018 with a<br />
second to follow in either 2019 or<br />
2020. Fonterra’s director of global<br />
foodservice Grant Watson said the<br />
investment is a timely one as more<br />
and more consumers around Asia<br />
develop a preference for milkbased<br />
products.<br />
BRIGADE’S CHARITY DRIVE<br />
The Sheffield Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade will hold its annual charity<br />
4x4 Mud Plug event on August 27.<br />
Vehicles will navigate their way<br />
through courses, losing points<br />
for knocking pegs or going off<br />
course. The event will be held at<br />
Derek Bull Farm on the corner of<br />
Main West Coast Rd and Waimak<br />
Gorge Rd in Sheffield. For more<br />
information, call 021 650 554 or<br />

Castle Hill<br />
Community<br />
Association<br />
member<br />
John Reid<br />
writes<br />
about the<br />
village’s commercial<br />
and residential<br />
development, the<br />
need for public toilets<br />
and a number of trees<br />
set to be removed<br />
Castle Hill Village has<br />
been lucky to have a good<br />
fall of snow for the school<br />
holidays.<br />
A lot of snow fights and<br />
children sliding down<br />
the hill by the water slide.<br />
Skifields are off to a good<br />
start.<br />
A number of new<br />
houses are being built in<br />
the village and the design<br />
controls result in<br />
attractive architecture<br />
which blends in with the<br />
alpine environment.<br />
The village has a very<br />
active community association<br />
which also acts as the<br />
township<br />
committee for this part of<br />
the district with whom we<br />
work closely.<br />
There is a review of our<br />
Reserves Management<br />
Plan in progress which<br />
discusses the<br />
continuing management<br />
of the village reserves and<br />
in particular its trees.<br />
One important item<br />
for consideration is the<br />
removal of Pinus contorta<br />
(lodgepole pine)<br />
that has established itself<br />
around our community<br />
hall and tennis court.<br />
A process of annual<br />
removal and re-planting<br />
has been<br />
going on for a number of<br />
years.<br />
It has now been decided<br />
that these trees will have<br />
to be removed as part of<br />
a district-wide move to<br />
stop the spread of wilding<br />
pines.<br />
The review will decide<br />
how quickly this can be<br />
achieved.<br />
The growth of visitor<br />
traffic on the Great Alpine<br />
Highway and the growth<br />
of the mountain-biking<br />
community using the<br />
network of trails now developed<br />
around the village<br />
has meant<br />
that one public toilet is not<br />
enough.<br />
The district council is<br />
working on the provision<br />
of three new toilets and<br />
will approach the Government<br />
for funds as part of<br />
the recent announcement<br />
of a new funding initiative<br />
for this purpose.<br />
Plans for the final<br />
stages of residential<br />
development and plans for<br />
the village’s commercial<br />
zone have been prepared<br />
and submitted to district<br />
council.<br />
The township<br />
committee wishes to<br />
have an opportunity to<br />
comment on these plans<br />
as the future village centre<br />
will be developed there<br />
and this will have a great<br />
impact on the additional<br />
amenities and services<br />
available for visitors and<br />
residents alike.<br />

and 3pm at the Lincoln Event Centre and Domain.<br />
This free annual event showcases the variety of sport and recreation<br />
activities available in Lincoln and the wider <strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />
Nearly 30 indoor and outdoor sports, activities, games and<br />
challenges are planned. Girl guiding, CrossFit, archery, basketball,<br />
table tennis, bouncy castles, dodgeball and indoor bowls are just<br />
some of what’s on offer.<br />
Complete five challenges to get your Have a Go Day passport<br />
stamped and enter the main prize draw for a chance to win $<strong>25</strong>0 in<br />
sport vouchers! Passports will be available to collect on arrival.<br />
Enjoy live music, with coffee and a sausage sizzle provided.<br />
Get spotted doing<br />
the safe thing!<br />
Is your child’s school signed up to Get Spotted? If so, they may get spotted doing the safe thing<br />
during the start of Term 3. Keep an eye out at your school for the Get Spotted poster. Children<br />
spotted showing safe behaviour when heading to or from school could earn a reward.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler says the idea of<br />
the programme is to positively reinforce good road safety behaviour. “It has been developed to<br />
recognise learners that are doing the right thing in terms of road safety awareness, by teachers<br />
awarding a small token such as a sticker or wrist band.”<br />
This flexible campaign is available for schools and early-childhood educators based around<br />
their needs.<br />
For more information please email stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phone 347 2705.<br />
Relax and recover with hydrotherapy<br />
The hydrotherapy pool is one of the key features of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre. Maintained at a balmy 35<br />
degrees, it is designed to be used as a gentle and effective aid for pain relief or muscle tension.<br />
It’s perfect for people rehabilitating from illness or injury, those who face challenges with their mobility,<br />
or for general well-being and relaxation.<br />
The pool measures 16mx6m, has a depth ranging from 1.2m–1.8m, has a wheelchair accessible ramp,<br />
and is supervised by lifeguards at all times. It’s recommended if you are using the hydrotherapy pool<br />
for medical reasons you check with your doctor first. You’ll need to bring drinking water with you to<br />
stay hydrated.<br />
The hydrotherapy pool is available for general use during <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre’s opening hours:<br />
Monday–Friday, 6am–9pm and Saturday–Sunday between 8am–8pm.<br />
For more information about the hydrotherapy pool or any of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre’s services please<br />

as possible, but we also ask residents to report potholes and any<br />
other roading issues through our Helpline 347 2800 or the Snap,<br />
Send, Solve app. Your patience and caution on the roads will be<br />
appreciated by all road users.<br />
The intersection of Hoskyns Road and Sandy Knolls Road is<br />
being upgraded and a change of priority will occur so that traffic<br />
approaching from Sandy Knolls Road will need to stop. Traffic delays<br />
may occur and detours may operate while the upgrade occurs.<br />
Construction of a right-turn bay is continuing at the intersection of<br />
Dynes Road and Springston Rolleston Road, with traffic controls in<br />
place at this location. Care is needed when driving through the site.<br />
Unsealed road maintenance will occur on Malvern Hills Road.<br />
Footpath construction will be occurring on Liffey Springs walkway.<br />
Sewer line installation work is continuing on Shands Road and<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Road – traffic delays may occur due to this work.<br />

Tai Tapu – a community on the rise<br />
It takes a community with resilience, enthusiasm and energy to regroup after a disaster and find funding for new local facilities.<br />
Community efforts towards the new Rhodes Park community and sports facility and play centre in Tai Tapu are testament to this. The construction of the Rhodes Park facility is<br />
set to begin in early August and is expected to be completed by June 2018. The new play centre build is completed and running, with a bit of landscaping to finish.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council Property Manager John Reid says thanks to the community’s creative funding and planning approach, a new facility will replace the original community<br />
hall in the township and the sports pavilion at Rhodes Park, both of which were outdated and suffered damage in the 2010–2011 earthquakes.<br />
“I’m full of admiration for what this community has been able to achieve through the development of a shared, future-focused vision, backed up by sheer hard work,” Mr Reid says.<br />
“A number of different community groups with different views<br />
have come together to develop a solution that doesn’t replicate an<br />
outdated facility provision model, but is future-focused and based<br />
on the community’s needs.”<br />
The old hall site in the township has been retained, and the Tai Tapu<br />
Playcentre has developed a new facility there which includes a<br />
playground that the whole community can enjoy.<br />
“The new community and sports facility at Rhodes Park will be used<br />
for meetings, social events and functions as well as providing a<br />
venue for local sports groups,” says Mr Reid.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council investment in the Rhodes Park facility<br />
has been complemented by funding from the Rātā Foundation and<br />

Don Watson<br />
Don of Lincoln earns recognition<br />
Don Watson, 85, was recently recognised for<br />
50 years of service on the Greenpark Memorial<br />
Community Centre Committee. He spoke to Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
How does it feel to get<br />
recognised for 50 years of<br />
service?<br />
It is a privilege to be thought of<br />
in that way as far as the district<br />
council is concerned. I was<br />
pleased to accept a nice trophy.<br />
I wasn’t expecting anything like<br />
that. You don’t do these things to<br />
be rewarded, you do it because<br />
you like it.<br />
Pretty big deal isn’t it?<br />
I suppose it is. It is one of those<br />
things when you live in a small<br />
community you do your part to<br />
play along and put something<br />
back into the community. That<br />
is one of the reasons I did that.<br />
In 2012, when I moved to the<br />
Lincoln township, I volunteered<br />
to retire from the committee<br />
and they said ‘no don’t do that’.<br />
We were in the throws of getting<br />
our replacement hall after it was<br />
damaged in the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake. I stayed on<br />
until it became a reality.<br />
What was it like going<br />
through the whole process of<br />
the earthquake, losing and<br />
replacing the hall?<br />
It was a big deal, we had good<br />
insurance. The hall was a brick<br />
building and it disintegrated<br />
badly in the earthquake. With<br />
the help of the district council<br />
and our little committee, we<br />
pushed ahead and eventually got<br />
what we have. The new hall is a<br />
great asset to the district and is<br />
being very well-used.<br />
Do you have any key memories<br />
of the old hall over your 50<br />
years?<br />
In the early years of the committee,<br />
we were responsible<br />
for the entire hall ourselves.<br />
We were responsible for the<br />
fundraising and keeping it<br />
maintained. That all came at a<br />
cost. We used to run functions<br />
at the hall for the hall committee<br />
to raise funds – dances, balls<br />
and all those things in the 1960s.<br />
We used to do an annual collection<br />
around the district and<br />
ask for donations towards the<br />
maintenance of the hall. It wasn’t<br />
easy for members to have to do,<br />
but we had to make sure we did<br />
it. The district council took over<br />
from the fundraising in about<br />
1995. That took away the problem<br />
we had with fundraising,<br />
which was a big help.<br />
Is there a story behind<br />
why you decided to go on the<br />
committee?<br />
At the time, the present hall<br />
committee had been on there<br />
for a considerable amount of<br />
years and they were all getting<br />
a bit elderly. The hall committee<br />
sent a letter out to all who held<br />
meetings and used the hall. They<br />
wanted to set up a new committee<br />
and were going to retire if<br />
there wasn’t enough members<br />
showing up. At the time, I was<br />
secretary of the Tai Tapu district’s<br />
Federated Farmers. I along<br />
with a few others got voted on to<br />
where I’ve remained ever since.<br />
Tell me about your life as a<br />
farmer?<br />
We were on 90-100ha block<br />
dairy farm on Davidsons Rd.<br />
Regrettably, it was sold off in<br />
2007 after it was in the family for<br />
more than 90 years. It gradually<br />
grew from a small unit to a large.<br />
We started off in the 1950s with<br />
20 cows, now there are more<br />
than 1000. When we retired,<br />
we were milking more than 370<br />
cows. We did contract with harvesting<br />
to add to our outcome.<br />
As the years progressed, we gave<br />
up our harvesting and turned<br />
it into a more straight forward<br />
dairy farm.<br />
Was there a time where you<br />
wanted to give farming up and<br />
do something else?<br />
No, I didn’t have that appeal<br />
at all. I was keen on my farming.<br />
I became a director of the local<br />
farming company, Canterbury<br />
Dairy Farmers, which processed<br />
and distributed our milk. I was<br />

DEDICATION: Don Watson received a 50-year service award<br />
for the time he has dedicated to the Greenpark Memorial<br />
Community Centre Committee.<br />
15 years on the board of directors<br />
of that company. I saw it<br />
grow from being a Canterburybased<br />
company to merging to<br />
be the sole representative of<br />
South Island dairy farmers. I was<br />
pleased to be part of that.<br />
What school did you go to?<br />
I went to Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School. It was great – I<br />
was involved in the sports side.<br />
I learned to play tennis while<br />
at high school. I was part of the<br />
rugby teams. I played rugby for<br />
the Waihora Rugby Club and<br />
the Greenpark Tennis Club. I<br />
was the first secretary of the<br />
Greenpark Tennis Club. It was<br />
formed in about 1950 and I was<br />
there for about 12 years. After I<br />
finished playing rugby, I became<br />

I played representative rugby for<br />
the Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union<br />
for several years. It was pretty<br />
competitive in those days. I was<br />
a hooker – I partially blame that<br />
for having a bad back.<br />
Tell me about your family?<br />
My wife and I have been married<br />
for 61 years. We both lived<br />
in Greenpark and you didn’t<br />
have to go far in those days – I<br />
only had a bike for a while. We<br />
met through NZ Young Farmers,<br />
netball, basketball clubs<br />
and joined up at a lot of dances.<br />
There were six of us in a little<br />
group and they all finished up by<br />
marrying each other.<br />
Our eldest son is in the world<br />
of banking. Our daughter is now<br />
living in Lincoln as a registered<br />
nurse. Our youngest son was a<br />
very keen sportsman as far as<br />
rugby and tennis went. He came<br />
home to assist on the farm when<br />
he left school. He took over until<br />
he gave up in 2007 and set up<br />
a cafe business. Now he has a<br />
manufacturing polythene pipe<br />
business in Rolleston.<br />
You have been involved in a<br />
lot of organisations. Is there<br />
anything else we don’t know<br />
about?<br />
I was involved in the Lincoln<br />
Anglican Parish in a large way<br />
during my farming days. I was<br />
a member through St Mark’s<br />
Anglican Church. I still attend<br />
services where we have been for<br />
more than 60 years. I was a lay<br />
reader for 30 years. The vicar<br />
twisted my arm. I was also people’s<br />
warden, meaning I was the<br />
main go to person – if someone<br />
wanted to talk to somebody<br />
instead of talking to the vicar,<br />
they passed it on to me. I was<br />
also the chairman of the rebuild<br />
committee that rebuilt the St<br />
Stephen’s Anglican Church. The<br />
church was completed in 1992. It<br />
was rebuilt because the old one<br />
was falling a part and had been<br />
there about 120 years.<br />
Anything else?<br />
I also played indoor bowls<br />
for Greenpark. It did eventually<br />
go into recess so I went to<br />
Ladbrooks, which I am still a<br />
member and secretary of at the<br />
moment. We have managed to<br />
get by. I also play outdoor bowls<br />
here in Lincoln. I have been a<br />
member of the club for 15 years<br />
or more. When I was a few weeks<br />
off 80, it wasn’t long until I was<br />
elected president of the club. I<br />
was an 80-year-old president<br />
for a couple of years. I look back<br />
and wonder how I had time to<br />
farm and the answer was a very<br />
capable and suitable wife.<br />

Backyard Critters<br />
Native beetle’s mystery trip to Devon<br />
Mike Bowie is<br />
an ecologist<br />
who specialises<br />
in entomology<br />
(insects<br />
and other<br />
invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces<br />
a new species found in his<br />
backyard at Lincoln. His<br />
column aims to raise public<br />
awareness of biodiversity,<br />
the variety of living things<br />
around us<br />
THE FIG longhorn beetle<br />
(xylotoles griseus) is an attractive<br />
wood-boring beetle native to<br />
New Zealand, being found on<br />
the mainland, Little Barrier<br />
Island and the Poor Knights<br />
Islands.<br />
Interestingly, in 2014, 20 specimens<br />
were found in one location<br />
in Devon, England, the first recorded<br />
outside of New Zealand.<br />
It is unknown how this flightless<br />
species arrived in Devon,<br />
but they emerged from holes in a<br />
recently felled fig tree.<br />
The elongated, elliptical brown<br />
beetle is 11mm long and 4mm<br />
wide with long antennae that<br />
exceed the length of the beetle<br />
itself.<br />
The beetle lives in the dead<br />
wood of a variety of species,<br />
but elm is its most commonly<br />
recorded host.<br />
Other host species include the<br />
natives kawakawa, puka and a<br />
variety of introduced species<br />
such as radiata pine, japanese<br />
honeysuckle, buddleja and willow.<br />
Adults emerge in summer and<br />
the female gnaws a hole in the<br />
bark where she lays her eggs.<br />
Larvae feed below the bark but<br />
pupate in the wood.<br />
The beetle is not considered an<br />
economic pest in New Zealand,<br />
with dead wood appearing to be<br />
their preference over live trees.<br />
UNIQUE: The fig longhorn beetle (xylotoles griseus) is not considered an economic pest in New<br />
Zealand, with dead wood appearing to be their preference over live trees.<br />
Lincoln Uni icon passes away<br />
• By Ian Collins<br />
A WELL-KNOWN personality<br />
who spent 40 years at Lincoln<br />
University has passed away.<br />
Retired associate professor<br />
George Hill died last Monday at<br />
Cashmere View Hospital at the<br />
age of 80.<br />
Mr Hill was a an agronomist<br />
on the plant science staff from<br />
1972-2012 at Lincoln University.<br />
His funeral was last Saturday<br />
at HMNZS Pegasus Naval Reserves<br />
premises in Christchurch.<br />
Mr Hill’s was a life well lived<br />
in diverse areas of service to<br />
plant science, teaching, education<br />
union affairs and the navy.<br />
Born in England, Mr Hill was<br />
brought up in Australia from a<br />
young age and graduated from<br />
the University of Western Australia.<br />
He joined the staff at Lincoln<br />
University in 1972 as an agronomist<br />
after four years working in<br />
Papua New Guinea.<br />
Lincoln University’s big attraction<br />
for him was its use of<br />
on-farm teaching and system of<br />
farmer tutors. This is what drew<br />
him across the Tasman to New<br />
Zealand.<br />
In a parallel career, Mr Hill<br />
was an enthusiastic naval reservist.<br />
He had joined the Royal Australian<br />
Naval Reserve in 1956 as<br />
a seaman and was soon commissioned.<br />
In New Zealand, he rose to the<br />
rank of captain and in Christchurch<br />
he was the commanding<br />
officer of HMNZS Pegasus. He<br />
held significant naval decorations<br />
acknowledging his service.<br />
At Lincoln University, Mr Hill<br />
took his teaching and postgraduate<br />
supervision responsibilities<br />
very seriously and he became<br />
a respected member of the Association<br />
of University Teachers<br />
(now the Tertiary Education<br />
Union).<br />
He had a particular interest in<br />
negotiations around conditions<br />
of employment and non-financial<br />
employment benefits.<br />
In recognition of his union<br />
service, he was made a TEU life<br />
member.<br />
Mr Hill was also an active<br />
justice of the peace, serving<br />
valuably in this role on campus.<br />
Membership of the Lincoln University<br />
Choir was a passion, too.<br />
He was also a council member<br />
of the Agronomy Society of New<br />
Zealand for more than 35 years<br />
and was elected a fellow in 1996.<br />
With professor of plant science<br />
Reinhart Langer, Mr Hill<br />
co-authored the standard plant<br />
science text Agricultural Plants,<br />
which has had several editions<br />
and translations.<br />

Southbridge look to make history<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SOUTHBRIDGE have the<br />
opportunity to do the clean<br />
sweep for the first time in the<br />
club’s history after defeating<br />
Prebbleton 22-13 on Sunday.<br />
The win means that Southbridge<br />
retained the Murray<br />
Cooper Shield (Ellesmere’s<br />
version of the Ranfurly Shield)<br />
for the off-season. They also<br />
secured the Ellesmere Trophy<br />
for the fourth straight year after<br />
finishing top at the end of the<br />
round-robin.<br />
Earlier in the year, Southbridge<br />
won the Combined Country<br />
Cup and are now just two wins<br />
away from claiming the Coleman<br />
Shield.<br />
“I don’t know if many clubs<br />
have (won all four trophies) before.<br />
It’s a massive challenge and<br />
we’re going to find it very hard.<br />
This late in the season, it comes<br />
down to a big mental battle,”<br />
said Southbridge coach Doug<br />
Maginness.<br />
Sunday’s game also turned<br />
out to be a warm-up for this<br />
weekend’s semi-finals. With<br />
Southbridge finishing No 1<br />
and Prebbleton No 4, it means<br />
they will meet in a semi-final at<br />
Southbridge on Saturday.<br />
“They look to be a really well<br />
trained and drilled unit. They<br />
bring a lot of passion, that’s probably<br />
the big thing I took from the<br />
game,” said Maginness.<br />
Sunday’s game against Prebbleton<br />
was initially due to be played<br />
on Saturday, but was postponed<br />
24 hours due to flooding.<br />
Prebbleton seized the early<br />
initiative with Tim Murgatroyd<br />

slotting two early penalties before<br />
converting a George Wigley try<br />
to give the team a 13-3 advantage<br />
during the first half. Southbridge<br />
answered back before the break,<br />
with a try to Isileli Fine and two<br />
penalty conversions from Shannon<br />
Donald to lead 14-3 at the<br />
break.<br />
As the pitch began to cut up<br />
in the second 40, Southbridge<br />
seized the initiative.<br />
A Mateo Raturawa converted<br />
try extended their lead to 22-13,<br />
and from there they came under<br />
little threat other than a somewhat<br />
controversial disallowed try<br />
to Prebbleton late in the game.<br />
Prebbleton will be up against<br />
it on Saturday, but fancy their<br />
WARRIOR: A muddy Todd<br />
Henderson runs with the ball<br />
for Prebbleton.<br />
chances of causing an upset.<br />
“We don’t feel too far off,” said<br />
Prebbleton coach Derek Todd.<br />
“We’ve got a few areas we’ll<br />
be looking to make some small<br />
gains over the week. If the conditions<br />
are better this week, then<br />
it should make for a completely<br />
different game.”<br />

Lincoln physios join forces<br />
Physiotherapists in Lincoln have joined<br />
forces and are now working together under<br />
one roof to provide a seamless health<br />
service for people living in Lincoln and the<br />
wider <strong>Selwyn</strong> community.<br />
With the SportsRehab Lincoln team having<br />
crossed the road to join Motus Lincoln,<br />
physiotherapists Kim Bond and Jody<br />
Watson are now working closely with Brett<br />
Warman, Kathryn Claridge, Mary Robins,<br />
Jo Batchelor and Ethan Horne.<br />
“Joining the two centres together provides<br />
opportunity for professional cooperation<br />
and greater communication between the<br />
therapists so clients receive a high level<br />
of care and access to a larger network of<br />
health professionals,” says Brett Warman,<br />
Manager of Motus Lincoln.<br />
With two great physiotherapy clinics based<br />
on one site, clients have a single point of<br />
contact for a real community based onestop<br />
service with podiatry and massage<br />
therapy health professionals also available.<br />
Sharing a philosophy that emphasises<br />
retention of movement and mobility, the<br />
physiotherapists are now able to draw on a<br />
broader base of knowledge and skills when<br />
helping people of all ages from children to<br />
retirees.<br />
Close relationships will still be maintained<br />
with other health professionals including<br />
local GPs, podiatrists, massage therapists,<br />
hand therapists, and gym trainers as well<br />
as their on-going use of Lincoln University’s<br />
gym.<br />
Having one clinic will also make it easier<br />
for clients making an appointment as more<br />
physiotherapists are available to assist<br />
clients,whether needing help with their<br />
return to work, post-surgery recovery,<br />
arthritis pain, everyday injury, sports injury,<br />
back or neck pain, or pain management.<br />
Motus Lincoln will also continue their links<br />
with community groups and sports teams<br />
in conjunction with their nine clinics spread<br />
across Canterbury.<br />
Another exciting change ahead for the<br />
Lincoln physiotherapists will be early next<br />
year when they move into bigger and<br />
brighter premises. These are currently<br />
under construction next to the Challenge<br />
Service Station. The purpose-built<br />
premises will have a small on-site gym<br />
while their relationship with the even closer<br />
university gym will continue, assisting the<br />
physiotherapists in their proactive approach<br />
to injury management and rehabilitation.<br />
You will find SportsRehab alongside Motus<br />
Lincoln at 16 Gerald Street in Lincoln. For<br />
an appointment, phone Motus Lincoln on<br />

PETS & PAWS<br />
The ultimate in pooch pampering<br />
Regular brushing and washing prevents<br />
dog hair from becoming matted. Other<br />
benefits of grooming are that it allows the<br />
groomer to check for any abnormalities<br />
such as skin problems like ticks, fleas and<br />
dry patches, or issues with their nails, teeth,<br />
ears and eyes.<br />
“When hair is matted, it pulls on the<br />
skin affecting the dog’s comfort,” explains<br />
Loretta, owner of Luxe Doggy Day Spa.<br />
Loretta says when hair becomes matted it<br />
must be clipped out, a time consuming task<br />
that can stress a dog, especially when it is<br />
necessary to clip close to the skin to remove<br />
all matted hair.<br />
Luxe Doggy Day Spa is a boutique<br />
Loretta and her<br />
three pets.<br />
grooming service that offers one-on-one<br />
pampering grooms for dogs.<br />
Loretta has many regulars booked for a<br />
spruce-up every six weeks, as well as dogs<br />
that suffer from anxiety, all enjoying her<br />
caring and loving grooming.<br />
“I treat all the dogs like my own,” says<br />
Loretta who opened her business on<br />
Brookside Road last October.<br />
“It’s really important to me that each dog<br />
has a good experience and the client and<br />
dog are happy,” adds Loretta who admits to<br />
loving her work and living in Rolleston.<br />
Loretta initially intended to operate<br />
part-time however demand for her service<br />
has been so great that it is now a full-time<br />
operation with clients bringing their dogs<br />
from as far afield as Christchurch, Halswell,<br />
Hornby, Lincoln, West Melton, Burnham<br />
and even Ashburton.<br />
Only quality natural products are used<br />
and top of the line equipment that includes<br />
a proper quiet stand up blow dryer so a dog<br />
can be brushed dry, leaving them smelling<br />
superb.<br />
This explains why so many of her client<br />
pooches want to return and with three<br />
pets of her own, Mac (a Maltese), Oscar (a<br />
Shih Tzu) and the very affectionate Bella<br />
(a Spoodle) she has plenty of experience,<br />
recognising a dog’s distinctive personality<br />
provides important clues on how to handle<br />
them.<br />
Professional, friendly and caring are<br />
the words that best describe a pampering<br />
at Luxe Doggy Day Spa, available by<br />
appointment from Monday to Friday,<br />
between 9am and 5pm.<br />
For more information call or text<br />

You might also try her puppy package;<br />
a gentle introduction to grooming that<br />
familiarises your pup with the sound and feel<br />
of being groomed, with a wee play time and<br />
toy to take home.<br />

comfort of staying at home as you<br />

treasured pets are taken care of.<br />

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Hollands have gone water<br />
Superior technology is now a fixture<br />
at Holland Collision Centre in Rolleston<br />
with waterborne paints rather than toxic<br />
chemically based alternatives being used.<br />
This superior method of painting motor<br />
vehicles is possible due to a state of the art<br />
painting booth and other technologically<br />
advanced equipment imported from Italy.<br />
“A really good booth is needed when<br />
working with water borne paint so the<br />
moisture is extracted out of the paint,”<br />
explains Cameron, owner of Holland<br />
Collision Centre.<br />
Rather than drying the paint with a heater,<br />
the paint is blow dried in the booth. This<br />
results in the paint drying more quickly with<br />
great results.<br />
Waterborne paints are more sophisticated,<br />
enabling a more accurate colour match. This<br />
is especially the case with late model vehicles<br />
that have waterborne products that were<br />
applied in special factory conditions.<br />
With waterborne paints the result is<br />
enhanced paintwork that looks sharper so<br />
Holland’s waterborne paint spray booth.<br />
when you pick up your car from Hollands, it<br />
is like driving a new car out of the yard.<br />
An added advantage of working with<br />
waterborne paints is they are safer for the<br />
environment with less potential health risks<br />
for those working with them.<br />
Spraying with water makes clean-up of the<br />
equipment used, an easier task. It is simply<br />
Holland’s new tint room.<br />
Holland Collision Centre are at 826 Jones Road.<br />
washed clean using water rather than a<br />
solvent reducer as was the case in the past.<br />
Therefore, solvents are not wasted or sent for<br />
recycling and purifying which is better for<br />
the environment.<br />
While we may not be thinking about<br />
having our vehicle painted, the slippery wet<br />
and icy conditions at this time of year can<br />
make stopping in time that little bit harder<br />
and accidents do occur.<br />
If unlucky enough to have this happen<br />
to you and are in need of panel repairs,<br />
remember Hollands is nearby. Rather than<br />
allowing your insurer to inconvenience you<br />
by having to take your vehicle all the way into<br />
town for repairs, organise your insurance<br />
claim on-line or over the telephone then<br />
get Hollands to take care of the rest. They<br />
handle work for all the major insurers and<br />
have their own guarantee with the Collision<br />
Repair Association.<br />
Hollands carry out repair and finishing<br />
work for small through to larger vehicles,<br />
whether a car, larger truck, fleet vehicle,<br />
farm machinery, horse float, caravan, motor<br />
home or trailer unit, they can handle the job.<br />
They also do air conditioning re-gassing,<br />
sandblasting and plastic welding and with a<br />
second building over the road, can speedily<br />
turn the work around.<br />
If needing a vehicle while yours is worked<br />
on, just arrange for one of their loan fleet.<br />
Holland Collision Centre is the largest<br />
panel and paint shop in <strong>Selwyn</strong> and can be<br />
found at 826 Jones Road on the Izone side<br />
of Rolleston. You can call them on 03 347<br />
8703 and check them out on Facebook.<br />
Cameron would also like to thank the team<br />
at Spraystore at 270 Main South Road in<br />
Hornby for their help in installing the new<br />
water borne paint system.<br />

Tuesday <strong>July</strong> <strong>25</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 29<br />
MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
Motor Fest coming to <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Motor enthusiast, John Winchester<br />
wanted to do something to support the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> community. After getting together<br />
with other local motoring stalwarts his<br />
initial ideas were soon shaped into what<br />
may become one of Canterbury’s largest<br />
motor festivals.<br />
With motors the common theme for those<br />
involved, <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor Fest will provide<br />
something of interest for everyone.<br />
“Whether it’s an enthusiast’s car or<br />
motorbike, truck, tractor, steam engine,<br />
stock car, hot rod, muscle car, classic or<br />
vintage vehicle, if it has a motor we want it at<br />
the show,” says <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Councillor,<br />
Craig Watson who enthusiastically joined<br />
the organising team.<br />
Craig says they are calling it a motor<br />
fest as the plan is to have a diverse display<br />
of motor related exhibits including army<br />
memorabilia, motor racing, hot rodding, the<br />
fire service, army and police.<br />
The group want this to be a really cool<br />
motor festival that embraces motoring and<br />
motors over the years and they plan to run<br />
it annually so people can show off their big<br />
toys and families can have a really fun day<br />
out.<br />
It is hoped to have over 1,000 show<br />
exhibits and three to four times that in<br />
people attending the day.<br />
The motor fest will also provide an<br />
opportunity for fundraising. This year,<br />
money raised will go to St John to assist<br />
funding of the new station and ambulances<br />
based in Rolleston as well as the other<br />
services they provide.<br />
Organisers of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor<br />
Fest with their prized vehicles.<br />
Planning for the very first <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor<br />
Fest, which is scheduled for later this year,<br />
is well underway. Already machinery is<br />
preparing the grounds on land that runs off<br />
the Broadlands Drive extension opposite<br />
Rolleston College.<br />
Members of the Rolleston and Districts<br />
Lions Club who have the experience<br />
will be supporting the event with event<br />
management systems including traffic<br />
planning to ensure a well-run, successful<br />
motor fest with a percentage of funds raised<br />
contributed to their in-need social support<br />
programmes.<br />
While exhibitors will be charged an entry<br />
fee and there will be a gate entry charge, the<br />
aim is to keep the cost as low as possible<br />
so it is an affordable day out and one that<br />
becomes a regular annual family event.<br />
From the original bunch of men and<br />
women who had that first meeting, more<br />
than fifty people have already registered<br />
their vehicles. Numerous car clubs that<br />
have over 600 vehicles on their books have<br />
also shown interest in the event while other<br />
groups and businesses as well as the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Petrol Heads club, a group of American car<br />
owners and enthusiasts have indicated their<br />

organisers gather<br />

Gardening<br />
Flowers that are as sweet as can be<br />
Rachel Vogan sings the<br />
praises of sweet peas<br />
– tough little bloomers<br />
that can light up the<br />
garden year-round<br />
WHENEVER I’M asked what<br />
my favorite flower is, I struggle to<br />
answer as I have so many.<br />
It’s like asking which is your<br />
favourite child – how do you<br />
choose? My top picks always<br />
include dahlias, gladioli, daphne,<br />
and daisies; I am never without<br />
roses or hellebores no matter<br />
where I live, and every year<br />
without fail I grow sweet peas<br />
anywhere I can find room to<br />
squeeze them in.<br />
I’m not sure where my devotion<br />
to them came from – my uncle<br />
Teddy used to grow them in<br />
French Farm in the 1970s, so<br />
it may have been from there,<br />
although I have always loved any<br />
flower I can pick for a posy, and<br />
have a special affection for any<br />
bloom that will give someone joy<br />
when they’re presented with it.<br />
New Zealand has a strong<br />
history with sweet peas, both<br />
in terms of seed production<br />
for English and European seed<br />
catalogues and sweet pea breeding.<br />
Dr Keith Hammett is the<br />
godfather of sweet pea breeding;<br />
he has a passion for these blooms<br />
that just captivates you.<br />
Keith’s interest in the sweet pea<br />
started off as a teenager, when<br />
his uncle decided he wanted to<br />
separate his flower and vegetable<br />
garden, doing so by planting a<br />
PACKED WITH PERFUME: High Scent (left) is tremendous variety to plant. Sweet pea Bix (middle)<br />
and Pink Nines for the show bench.<br />
dividing row of sweet peas. To<br />
hear Keith recall it, it was love<br />
at first sight. This love has only<br />
continued throughout the years,<br />
as sweet pea varieties bearing the<br />
Hammett name are now sold all<br />
over New Zealand and around the<br />
world.<br />
I first met him about 20 years<br />
ago, and was struck by his<br />
contagious keenness for both<br />
breeding plants and creating<br />
cultivars that fitted the local<br />
New Zealand climate. I couldn’t<br />
quite keep up with all the<br />
different characteristics he was<br />
producing and aiming for, but was<br />
mesmerised and wanted to soak<br />
up what I could, knowing that I<br />
could stand to learn a lot from<br />
him. So I sat and listened, barely<br />
saying a word!<br />
Fast forward a few decades<br />
and every year I plant out dozens<br />
of his varieties. My go-to is his<br />
High Scent as it has got the<br />
most magnificent fragrance, and<br />
beautiful flowers with an antique<br />
cream base and delicate violet<br />
edging on each petal. One of its<br />
best features is probably its prolific<br />
blooming capacity, as once it starts<br />
flowering in November I can be<br />
picking it continuously until the<br />
end of March, as long as I pick off<br />
any spent flower seed pods along<br />
the way, and make sure to fertilise<br />
and water them regularly. Like me,<br />
they love their tucker!<br />
For the show bench I always<br />
plant Piggy Sue (not to be<br />
confused with Peggy Sue), named<br />
after a pig rescued from farrowing<br />
stalls. Its colouring is a pink flush<br />
against a cream ground, with<br />
young flowers that often resemble<br />
a pink picotee when they first<br />
open. Last year I planted Pink<br />
Nines for the first time, which has<br />
masses of flowers on each stem –<br />
up to nine on each. Paradox has<br />
an intense, rich, violet-blue flower<br />
but has lost its ability to climb,<br />
so is one you would plant as a<br />
ground cover or for use in hanging<br />
baskets.<br />
Keith says all the sweet peas<br />
he offers are great for picking,<br />
reminding me that “Sweet peas are<br />
the ultimate ‘cut and come again’<br />
flower”, meaning that the more<br />
you pick from the flower stems,<br />
the more they will produce.<br />
He goes on to mention: “The<br />
ones with the larger, frilly flowers<br />
have longer stems than, say, some<br />
of the smaller flowered forms<br />
with the strongest scent.” His<br />
most highly-scented varieties are<br />
Original, High Scent, More Scent,<br />
and High Society.<br />
WHEN, WHERE & HOW<br />
• Plenty of sun needs to be<br />
on the menu – while sweet peas<br />
will bloom in half-day sun, the<br />
results are always best when they<br />
are planted somewhere that gets<br />
rays all day.<br />
• Sow seeds now or look<br />
for seedlings, as they are in<br />
the shops throughout August,<br />
September and into October.<br />
• Seeds can be sown directly<br />
where they are to flower<br />
provided the soil is well drained,<br />
in a sunny position, and you<br />
are able to protect against slugs,<br />
snails and maybe birds.<br />
• If sown into pots for<br />
planting out later, seeds do not<br />
need to be grown inside or in<br />
the glasshouse, simply sow and<br />
place outside in full light.<br />
• Provide support – sweet<br />
peas are a tumbling vine and<br />
need something to cling to when<br />
climbing. This support can be<br />
as simple as bamboo canes,<br />
wigwams, or old bike wheels,<br />
while netting against a fence or<br />
wall is a popular choice.<br />
gardening without guesswork<br />
Question:<br />
Answer:<br />
Hi I have a lemon tree and was wondering what are good<br />
companion plants for them?<br />
Companion planting for lemons isn’t something that gets asked<br />
about very often, so there isn’t a set answer exactly. Here is some<br />
information that would be of use if you are wanting to plant something<br />
around your lemons.<br />
Lemons are shallow rooting, need good drainage in winter, a cool root<br />
zone with plenty of water in the summer, and an acid soil ph. This<br />
means that they do not like their roots cultivated to plant any annual<br />
type plants. Therefore more permanent plants around and underneath<br />
the lemon would be OK. Ground cover plants would be suitable (this<br />
could include perennial herbs like mint, rosemary or thyme). These<br />
would help to keep the root zone cool in summer. As far as we are<br />
aware, there are not any plants that would give lemons protection from<br />
pest and diseases that are considered companion plants. That is to<br />
say that they not exist only that we wouldn’t be able to suggest any. A<br />
garden centre expert may be able to help more with this is you need.<br />
We hope this helps.<br />

Want a lemon tree but<br />
don’t have a garden?<br />
Meyer lemon trees grow excellently in pots.<br />
If you are restricted to only having pots and<br />
containers, then this variety is for you. Make<br />
sure you plant them in our Patio Plus potting<br />
mix, and ask us about what fertiliser to use.<br />
There are different fertilisers for trees and plants<br />
in pots and for those that are in garden beds!<br />

Hi there,<br />
Attached is your artwork proof. To enable us to complete your order,<br />
we request that this form is completed, signed and returned either<br />
in store or via email, or alternatively a quick email stating that you<br />
have reviewed your proof, and approve for me to send it to print.<br />
I have done my best to check all your details are correct however I’m<br />
only human and I may have missed something, so I advise that you<br />
double check all information thoroughly. This includes information such<br />
as spelling, phone numbers through to dates and addresses. Please<br />
be aware that once you sign off this proof, it is your responsibility<br />
should anything be incorrect when your printing arrives, and any<br />
reprint will be at your cost. Also due to our production efficiency<br />
once the job has been sent to print we are unable to pull your job from<br />
production or make any changes to the artwork or order details, and any<br />
reprint will be at your expense.<br />
Colours can alter in a print run and from previous print jobs due to<br />
various elements such as different batches of paper stock, humidity and<br />
temperature. Colour variation is inherent in the printing process. Your<br />
screen does a pretty rubbish impression of the final colour output, so<br />
please note that all proofs are NOT colour accurate. If you would like to<br />
see a more colour accurate proof we can arrange a digital print for you<br />
to come in and view. If you have any concerns please let us know before<br />
going to print.<br />
Additional file alterations will incur a fee and a new proof will be<br />
supplied. Please contact either myself, or your Account Manager should<br />
you have any changes or queries.<br />

More workspace for Izone<br />
It has been the success of 35 Illinois Drive<br />
in creating a micro-business hub within Izone<br />
industrial precinct that has led to further<br />
development at <strong>25</strong> Illinois Drive, where 13<br />
more units are currently under construction<br />
and due to be completed in December <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
With many large businesses and two inland<br />
ports now located at Izone, many niche<br />
operations are also locating to Izone and this<br />
is increasing the demand for smaller purpose<br />
built work spaces.<br />
These more specialised businesses support<br />
the larger industries. Complexes such as<br />
Workspace at 35 Illinois Drive that offer new,<br />
attractive and flexible work areas to suit the<br />
variety of businesses, explaining why they<br />
have been so popular.<br />
Workspace has a broad range of tenants<br />
including BNS Design and Print, CrossFit<br />
Rolleston, Posh Paws Dog Grooming,<br />
Rolleston Engineering Supplies, Rolleston<br />
Sushi Factory, Shermac Aluminium and<br />
Joinery, and Vulcan Talent Recruitment.<br />
The new development at <strong>25</strong> Illinois Drive<br />
will appeal to a range of tenants especially<br />
given that units planned for the complex will<br />
range from 96sqm–1,155sqm, offering high<br />
quality warehouse and office spaces with<br />
simplified lease terms.<br />
These simplified lease terms appeal to<br />
tenants as they include gross rentals where the<br />
landlord takes care of building outgoings so<br />
there are no hidden costs making everything<br />
more attractive.<br />
Builders, Hanham and Philip will be<br />
erecting the concrete tilt-slab, insulated roof,<br />
high amenity units that will have generous<br />
on-site parking. Three office suites and ten<br />
office and warehouse units will occupy <strong>25</strong><br />
Illinois Drive, in an environment where<br />
there is minimal noise, making them<br />
suitable for businesses of all kinds, whether<br />
manufacturing, sales and service branches of<br />
larger operations, wholesalers or a retailer.<br />
Izone, which is the largest industrial<br />
development of its kind in New Zealand, is<br />
an ideal location for importers, exporters,<br />
service providers, and those connected to<br />
the dairy industry. With the new <strong>25</strong> Illinois<br />
Drive handy to Café Izone, the Port of<br />
Tauranga’s inland port, the Lyttelton Port of<br />
Christchurch’s MidlandPort, Christchurch<br />
International Airport and the new Southern<br />
Motorway currently under construction, it is<br />
especially appealing.<br />
Working space<br />

Site of the new<br />
business units<br />
(bottom left).<br />
With many large businesses and two<br />

The best kept secrets<br />
to selling your home<br />
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is<br />
the only impression<br />
No matter how good the interior of your<br />
home looks, buyers have already judged<br />
your home before they walk through the<br />
door. You never have a second chance to<br />
make a first impression. It’s important<br />
to make people feel warm, welcome and<br />
safe as they approach the house. Spruce<br />
up your home’s exterior with inexpensive<br />
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry<br />
ways are also important. You use it as a<br />
utility space for your coat and keys. But,<br />
when you’re selling, make it welcoming by<br />
putting in a small bench or a vase of freshcut<br />
flowers.<br />
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to<br />
show<br />
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at<br />
all times – you never know when your<br />
buyer is going to walk through the door.<br />
You have to be available whenever they<br />
want to come see the place and it has to<br />
be in tip-top shape. Don’t leave dishes in<br />
the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out,<br />
the bathrooms sparkling and make sure<br />
there are no dust bunnies in the corners.<br />
It’s a little inconvenient, but it will get your<br />
house sold.<br />
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first<br />
You’re not actually selling your house,<br />
you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how<br />
important it is. The benefits of remodeling<br />
your kitchen are endless, and the best<br />
part of it is that you’ll probably get 85%<br />
of your money back. It may be a few<br />
thousand dollars to replace countertops<br />
where a buyer may knock<br />
$10,000 off the asking price<br />
if your kitchen looks dated.<br />
The fastest, most inexpensive<br />
kitchen updates include<br />
painting and new cabinet<br />
hardware. Use a neutralcolor<br />
paint so you can<br />
present buyers with a blank<br />
canvas where they can start<br />
envisioning their own style.<br />
If you have a little money to<br />
spend, buy one fancy stainless<br />
steel appliance. Why one?<br />
Because when people see<br />
one high-end appliance they think all the<br />
rest are expensive too and it updates the<br />
kitchen.<br />
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of<br />
your house<br />
One of the most important things to<br />
do when selling your house is to depersonalize<br />
it. The more personal stuff in<br />
your house, the less potential buyers can<br />
imagine themselves living there. Get rid<br />
of a third of your stuff – put it in storage.<br />
This includes family photos, memorabilia<br />
collections and personal keepsakes.<br />
Staging simply means arranging your<br />
furniture to best showcase the floor plan<br />
and maximize the use of space.<br />
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade<br />
Quick fixes before selling always pay off.<br />
Mammoth makeovers, not so much. You<br />
probably won’t get your money back if you<br />
do a huge improvement project before you<br />
put your house on the market. Instead,<br />

do updates that will pay off and get you<br />
top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint<br />
on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy<br />
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door<br />
handles, cabinet hardware, make sure<br />
closet doors are on track, fix leaky faucets<br />
and clean the grout.<br />
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters<br />
You might think a cuddly dog would<br />
warm the hearts of potential buyers, but<br />
you’d be wrong. Not everybody is a dogor<br />
cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in<br />
your home and see a bowl full of dog food,<br />
smell the kitty litter box or have tufts of<br />
pet hair stuck to their clothes. It will give<br />
buyers the impression that your house is<br />
not clean. If you’re planning an open home<br />
don’t leave your pets around.<br />
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field<br />
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong<br />
real estate agent. Make sure you have an<br />
agent who is totally informed. They must<br />
constantly monitor the multiple listing<br />
service (MLS), know what properties are<br />
going on the market and know the comps<br />
in your neighborhood. Find an agent who<br />
embraces technology – a tech-savvy one<br />
has many tools to get your house sold.<br />
Selling Secret #8: Light it up<br />
Maximize the light in your home. After<br />
location, good light is the one thing that<br />
every buyer cites that they want in a<br />
home. Take down the drapes, clean the<br />
windows, change the lampshades, increase<br />
the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the<br />
bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do what<br />
you have to do make your house bright<br />
and cheery – it will make it more sellable.<br />
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets<br />
Storage is something every buyer is<br />
looking for and can never have enough of.<br />
Take half the stuff out of your closets then<br />
neatly organize what’s left in there. Buyers<br />
will snoop, so be sure to keep all your<br />
closets and cabinets clean and tidy.<br />

Fix those<br />
minor defects<br />
Start out front, cleaning, clearing and<br />
decluttering the yard to make a good<br />
impression on buyers.<br />
It’s a rare house that doesn’t have defects.<br />
Even newly renovated ones can have<br />
features that detract for buyers. But there<br />
are ways for sellers to deflect attention<br />
from them without pretending they’re not<br />
there. The three main ways of dealing with<br />
defects are:<br />
1. Fix them.<br />
2. Draw the eye away from them.<br />
3. Use them as a selling point.<br />
Simple defects can be fixed easily. Start<br />
out front. Overgrown bushes can be<br />
trimmed, or replaced with a few matching<br />
plants, old fences and front doors can be<br />
painted or stained, and the paths cleaned.<br />
Do this even if a property is a do-up.<br />
You want to give the impression that<br />
buyers can move into the house and chip<br />
away at the work in their own time<br />
If you have time and money, paint sills<br />
and eaves using accents.<br />
Inside, the first thing buyers see is the<br />
hallway, which can be brightened up with<br />
a lick of paint. The neutral paint trick can<br />
also be used to paint over dated wallpaper,<br />
completely changing the look and feel of a<br />
tired house.<br />
Bathrooms and kitchens are important to<br />
buyers, and the eye settles on vanities and<br />
benches. These can be resurfaced relatively<br />
quickly to give a modern look.<br />
If the seller can’t repaint or tile the<br />
bathroom bring in high quality matching<br />
towels, which become a feature in the<br />
room and draw the eye from the less than<br />
desirable walls and features. Nice vases and<br />
flowers will do the same.<br />
Replacing handles and knobs to draw<br />
attention away from the units themselves.<br />
This reduces the number of “I have to do<br />
this” thoughts in potential buyers’ minds.<br />
Drawing the eye away from a multitude<br />
of sins is exactly the thing to do.<br />
If you see an empty house the eye always<br />
goes to marks on the carpet and walls and<br />
this will lower the price expectation.”<br />
Drawing the eye to the furniture and<br />
furnishings, creates better flow, and de<br />
cluttering makes buyers feel the home<br />
would be a nice place to live in.<br />
The other way to handle the property’s<br />
defects is to raise them with the buyer<br />
before they see them.<br />
If the carpet is bad, for example, you<br />
can say: “Hey, they were going to replace<br />
the carpet but they decided to leave it to<br />
you to choose a new carpet and priced it<br />
accordingly.”<br />
Finally, good old fashioned elbow grease<br />
is essential in all properties to remove<br />
those sins that are simply cleanable.<br />

Show homes<br />
the ultimate way to shop around<br />
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an<br />
extensive array of very good quality show homes.<br />
Building companies build show homes<br />
to demonstrate their workmanship,<br />
display innovative design ideas and<br />
present a snapshot into a new and<br />
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the<br />
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.<br />
A show home can inspire you in a way<br />
nothing else can. You can absorb the<br />
ambiance they present and admire the<br />
innovative techniques, new materials<br />
and technology.<br />
You can ask questions, take notes<br />
and compare. You can see at a glance<br />
features you would love to emulate or<br />
would avoid when building your home.<br />
Best of all, you ;will see the building<br />
companies’ attention to detail.<br />
Show homes are the perfect way to get<br />
a good idea of pricing, discover good<br />
quality and value, learn about superior<br />
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing<br />
maintenance and long-term returns.<br />
So what are you waiting for? Check<br />
out our maps, grab a notepad and<br />
pencil and begin the exciting project of<br />
building your own home.<br />

Supporting our locals!<br />
Hannah Bates, a 16 year old girl from Lincoln left last week to go the<br />
Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas.<br />

in April to the Australian Age Group Swimming Championships in Brisbane where<br />
she won a gold medal in the 400 metre individual medley and silver in the 200 metre<br />
individual medley. As a result of these successes, Hannah was selected to go the<br />
Commonwealth Youth Games and the Harcourts Rolleston office is once again her<br />
principle sponsor donating $2,500.<br />
She is part of a 34 strong team from NZ and is 1 of 2 South Islanders in this team.<br />
Hannah will compete in 5 events. Hannah came and spoke to us about her journey<br />
to date and her aspirations going forward and this photo shows Hannah with our<br />
team. We wish her every success!<br />
