New Leeston pub opened 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

AFTER SIX long years without 

a pub, the Leeston community 

turned out to open the new 

Crate and Barrel last week – and 

the doors have barely stopped 

swinging since. 

Publican Craig Bradford said 

business had been “flat out” all 

weekend after the grand opening 

on Thursday. 

The grand opening began 

with a parade through the 

town, featuring a horse and 

cart, a steam engine and vintage 

vehicles.

QUICK THINKING from 

Rolleston residents saved a 

shed from catching fire after a 

lightning strike on Sunday. 

Andre Berkett and a 

neighbour John Atherton used 

garden hoses to put out a tree fire 

after it was struck by lightning 

between 12.30-1pm at Goulds Rd 

across from Clearview Primary 

School. 

Mr Berkett said within 10sec 

of the lightning strike, the flames 

were as high as the treeline and 

heading fast towards a neighbouring 

property’s shed containing 

jet skis and a car. 

Using garden hoses, it took a 

•See pages 22 and 23 

bare-footed Mr Berkett, along 

with a neighbour, about 30min to 

extinguish the flames. 

“(I) didn’t have time to put my 

shoes on,” he said. 

Mr Berkett and his partner 

Sarah Laird were making bacon 

and eggs for lunch when they 

heard a loud bang which sounded 

like a gas bottle exploding. 

“Everything was grey we could 

see the flames over the door . . . 

dogs all nutting out and going 

off and I was like holy s***,” Mr 

Berkett said. 

The flames were reduced to embers 

by the time firefighters from 

Rolleston and Burnham Camp 

attended the incident.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

IT’S BEEN a dry innings at 

Leeston but as we reveal on our 

front page today, the town’s pub 

has finally opened. 

Photographer Martin Hunter 

went along to the official opening 

on Thursday and he says the 

Crate & Barrel is one outstanding 

building. 

The quake put paid to the previous 

establishment, and Leeston 

has been effectively dry since; the 

rugby club being the main watering 

hole. 

So it was fitting that the official 

opening had plenty of fanfare and 

of course two Canterbury rugby 

greats to cut the ribbon. 

The publicans Craig and Bridget 

Bradford will also certainly make 

their mark as mine hosts. 

Craig says it will be more than a 

pub, he expects it to act as a community 

centre for the town. 

Cheers!

Residents meet over 

FROM TYRE CENTRE 

Lincoln pet crematorium noise issues 


SEVERAL RESIDENTS are 

still not satisfied enough is 

being doing enough to reduce 

noise issues at a Lincoln pet 

crematorium. 

A meeting to update residents 

on what was being done to 

reduce noise 

levels over Fond 

Farewells Pet 

Cremation Service 

in Marion Pl was 

held last week. 

Bob 

Tomkins 

But resident 

Bob Tomkins and 

his wife Joanne 

Earle-Tomkins 

still does not believe enough has 

been done. 

The district council, Environment 

Canterbury and residents 

attended the meeting. 

Gribbles Veterinary Pathology 

Ltd owns Fond Farewells Pet 

Cremation Service. Gribbles 

general manager James Richardson 

said it did not attend 

because it felt it was the wrong 

forum to be involved in. 

But he said Gribbles had 

received positive feedback from 

the district council, saying all 

but two neighbours had been 

complimentary of the work 

PROBLEM: Residents are concerned not enough is being 

done by authorities to address noise issues at the Fond 

Farewells Pet Crematorium in Lincoln. 

Gribbles had done to reduce the 

noise. 

Mr Tomkins said the authorities 

are still certain they have 

done nothing wrong and Fond 

Farewells complies with the 

Resource Management Act. 

“They think all the changes 

are minor and they didn’t have 

to go for open resource hearing 

and they didn’t need an environmental 

report, which I find

astounding,” Mr Tomkins said. 

But the district council’s 

environmental services manager 

Tim Harris said the meeting 

was helpful and gave it the opportunity 

to explain to residents 

what was being done to mitigate 

the noise. 

“The district council has 

concluded that Fond Farewells is 

compliant and that noise issues 

have been mitigated satisfactorily,” 

he said. 

The issue reared its head after 

a non-notified decision was 

made by the district council 

for Gribbles to redevelop its site 

at Marion Pl in 2015. 

Residents first began to notice 

the noise of the burners at 

Christmas last year, which they 

say are a lot louder than before 

the site was redeveloped. 

At the meeting, a presentation 

was made by representatives 

from ComMec and Marshall 

Day Acoustics over noise mitigation 

work to the furnaces. 

A report said Fond Farewells 

engaged with acoustical consultants 

Marshall Day Acoustics, 

which provided a report to 

mitigate noise. 

New mufflers and attenuators 

were designed by combustion 

engineers ComMec to reduce 

noise. 

Noise assessments of the crematorium 

were completed last 

month by the district council. 

A letter to residents said a 

significant decrease in the noise 

was emitted and sound levels 

were less than the district plan’s 

daytime noise limits of 55dB.

In Brief 

LUCKY ESCAPE 

A young man was lucky to walk 

away from a serious crash on 

Christchurch Akaroa Rd, near 

Lake Ellesmere, on Sunday. Firefighters 

arrived at about 4.30pm 

to find the car in the ditch and 

the driver with a “very minor” 

injury, which did not require a 

trip to hospital, said Dave Irving, 

Little River chief fire officer. 

The car left the road, hit a rock 

and flipped into the ditch. It 

was right before “sunset point 

corner”, Mr Irving said. 

ART WEEK OPENING 

Darfield Art Week starts with an

Road signs protect keas 


PERMANENT KEA warning signs 

have been installed around Arthur’s 

Pass village in a bid to protect the 

endangered species. 

Two warning signs urging drivers 

to look out for keas were installed by 

the New Zealand Transport Agency. 

It comes after the Department 

of Conservation recorded six kea 

deaths in the area as a result of 

being struck by vehicles since the 

beginning of the year. 

Four of the deaths occurred at 

Deaths Corner, one in the Arthur’s 

Pass village and the other near the 

Bealey Hotel. 

Two kea died last month after 

they were electrocuted by a powerpole 

at Temple Basin Ski Area. DOC 

is working with Orion to reduce 

further deaths. 

A DOC spokeswoman said its records 

rely on people informing the 

organisation, or handing in dead 

birds, so it may not reflect all kea 

deaths on the road. 

At the same time, a group of 

about 20 birds, half of them juveniles, 

were seen in the area. 

The two signs, costing about 

$1600, were installed on either side 

of the township – one near Jack’s 

Hut and the other near Candys 

Bend. Kea are nationally endangered 

with a population estimated 

to be between 3000-5000.

ROLLESTON Volunteer Fire 

Brigade is the second busiest 

volunteer station in the country. 

The latest statistics show from 

January 1 to December 31 last 

year, the brigade was dispatched 

to 500 call-outs. 

Attending medical calls, 

backing up other fire stations 

and the growth of the Rolleston 

township contributed to the 

increased call-outs. 

The only other station busier 

than Rolleston was the Silverdale 

Volunteer Fire Brigade, 

Auckland, which attended 551 

call-outs last year. 

The statistics were released by 

the New Zealand Fire Service 

Commission through the FYI 

website, which enables the public 

to make Official Information Act 

and Local Government Official 

Information and Meetings Act 

requests online. 

Further figures released to 

Selwyn Times showed a total of 

1681 fire calls were attended by 

the district’s 13 stations. 

Lincoln Volunteer Fire Brigade 

had the second highest number 

of call outs in the district with 

275, followed by Kirwee on 160, 

Leeston 101, and Darfield 100. 

The Rolleston brigade covers 

Waimakariri, Lincoln and 

Burnham through to Templeton. 

Rolleston senior firefighter 

Martin Tier, who has served at 

the station for nearly 12 years, 

said Rolleston is a very busy 

volunteer station. 

“Every fire truck in New 

Zealand has to do what we 

call purple calls. They have no 

choice, they have to go to cardiac 

arrests to back up ambulances 

just for man power. 

“With Rolleston, we are what 

we call first responders, so we 

have the same qualifications as 

some ambulance drivers. We 

also have some people who are 

very high up in St John in New 

Zealand,” Mr Tier said.

same work as St John and this

Cheryl’s not crowing 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

FREE 

CHERYL Haglund is far 

from impressed after six 

roosters mysteriously 

appeared on her front lawn 

in the night. 

A band of silky cross 

roosters were dumped 

at her lifestyle block at 

Holmlea Farms based on 

Waterholes Rd, Rolleston 

overnight recently. 

Mrs Haglund is now 

calling for residents to take 

responsibility for their 

own animals rather than 

casting them off to other 

people. 

“Somebody has the 

damn bloody cheek to 

dump their six roosters on 

my property in the night 

. . . they didn’t even have 

the decency to say I have 

got these roosters, I don’t 

want them anymore, are 

you able to find a place for 

them,” she said. 

Mrs Haglund said she 

would have taken the 

roosters and found homes 

for them anyway. 

So far she has managed 

to catch three of the roosters. 

“People think I have got 

a lot of chooks, I am not 

going to notice half a dozen 

more. I know just about 

all my chooks personally,” 

Mrs Haglund said. 

Being on the pension, she 

said she is struggling to feed 

her own animals as it is. 

Mrs Haglund cares for 

a range of animals on her 

lifestyle block including a 

cow, donkey, sheep, goat 

and mini-horses. 

“I’ve sold chickens and 

young chooks and I have 

always said to anybody who 

has taken them from me if 

by chance it turns out to be

a rooster bring it back. Do 

not let it go on the side of 

the road,” she said. 

It is not the first time for 

Mrs Haglund, who had 

two fluffy bunnies abandoned 

on her property 

about four years ago which 

she re-homed.

living in the Akaroa area. 

I believe that individuals 

should enjoy more personal 

responsibility and less 

restriction. 

I believe that our taxes 

should be lowered, with a 

corresponding reduction in 

Government spending. 

I believe that NZ is best 

governed by a National-led 

government, but National 

will not receive sufficient 

votes alone and needs a 

strong, principled partner 

to form a government. 

The ACT party could be 

that partner. 

Although we have been 

limited by our size, we 

have been part of the 

Government for the last 

nine years and we have 

ensured that successful 

legislation has been passed, 

with the three strikes 

policy and partnership 

schools being two of our 

successes. 

David Seymour will win 

the Epsom electorate vote, 

so all party votes for ACT 

will count. 

If you want a strong 

responsible government, 

please consider giving your 

party vote to ACT. 

Tony Condon – Labour 

The Labour Party is a 

very wide church, full of 

people from all walks of 

life, but one where we all 

share the same values and 

principles. 

And that fundamental 

value is, everyone matters. 

As a province we have 

and continue to experience 

extremely challenging 

times. 

From the devastation 

created from the 

earthquakes through to 

the ongoing rebuild and 

regeneration of our region, 

it has been a life-defining 

experience. 

It has provided perspective 

and helps you to 

answer the question of what 

really matters. And for 

many of us it is the people. 

People really matter. 

I am standing as the Labour 

candidate for Selwyn 

because I strongly believe 

that this current government 

has lost touch with 

the people. 

We expect care, 

we expect dignity, we 

expect courage, we 

expect leadership and we 

expect vision from our 

government. 

It’s time for a change. 

Let’s do this. 

Chrys Horn – 

Green Party 

With strong interests in 

community, environment 

and economy, social 

scientist, Chrys Horn has 

worked in a wide range of 

settings from agriculture 

and tourism to resource 

management and social 

research. 

She works tirelessly to 

build community in her 

local area, is an active 

transport advocate and 

works in the Addington 

Timebank as a way to 

learn more about the 

practicalities of living 

economies and to these 

things she brings her 

background in action 

research, a form of adaptive 

management. 

She is standing for the 

Green Party because of 

the way the party’s 

central values are written 

down and held front and 

centre. 

These include a focus 

on recognising the Treaty 

of Waitangi, social equity, 

ecological wisdom, 

decision-making devolved 

to the level at which people 

will be affected, and the 

principle of nonviolence 

and the use of consensus 

decision-making.

Selwyn electorate 

Nicky Snoyink – The 

Opportunities Party 

Disillusioned by the lack 

of meaningful action by 

establishment parties to 

provide adequate solutions to 

New Zealand’s most pressing 

issues has prompted Nicky 

Snoyink to stand as The 

Opportunities Party (TOP) 

Selwyn candidate in the 2017 

election. 

TOP presents best practice, 

evidenced informed policies 

which tackle the root causes of 

the hard issues. 

When implemented, TOP’s 

policies will create a New 

Zealand better equipped to 

thrive in the 21st-century and 

prevent the next generation 

from receiving a massive 

hospital pass. 

Neither left nor right, 

TOPs innovative, fit for 

purpose policies will require the 

polluter to pay, honour 

the Treaty of Waitangi 

and deal to housing 

unaffordability while putting 

more money into ordinary 

Kiwi’s hands through tax and 

welfare reform. 

Please take the time to read 

about TOP’s policies and care, 

think, vote for a fairer and 

more prosperous New Zealand, 

where all boats have the 

opportunity to rise. 

Dash into 

Smith & Boston 

for your 

new look! 

Lindy Michelle Palmer – 

New Zealand First 

Lindy has a strong family connection 

to Selwyn District. Her 

great-grandfather had a farm in 

Southbridge, and her grandparents 

had a farm near Ladbrooks 

where her mother was born. 

With Labour and National 

neck and neck in the polls, it’s 

time to vote tactically. Their 

policies are bad for New Zealand. 

I ask the people of Selwyn the 

following: 

If you are don’t like capital 

gains tax, or high immigration 

putting a strain on our 

overstretched services, both in 

health and housing, or a water 

tax that will definitely hurt our 

farmers in Selwyn District, 

make sure to give NZ First the 

party vote, so that we can stop 

this madness. 

NZ first will continue to look 

after our seniors, and make 

sure that our young kids continue 

to have free health. 

We will slash immigration, 

and get our housing down to 

affordable levels for all. 

Party vote for common sense 

policies. 

Tactically, a more powerful 

NZ First in government will 

keep both parties in check. 

Party vote New Zealand 

First.

PARADE: Classic and vintage vehicles turned out for the opening of the Crate & Barrel in Leeston last week. 

Big plans for Leeston’s new watering hole 


About 250 people then filled 

the outdoor deck to see the pub 

opened by Canterbury rugby legends 

Fergie McCormick and Alby 

Anderson. 

The town has been without a 

pub since the earthquake-damaged 

Leeston Hotel was demolished 

in 2011. 

Mr Bradford said the planning 

and consenting process for the 

new building had taken years. 

“I’d just like to say sorry for the 

wait. But now it’s open, come and 

have a cold one. The poor buggers 

out here have waited far too long,” 

he said. 

He said it was designed to be 

more than a pub, and to function 

as a community centre for the 

town. 

It is split into four sections, each 

with its own theme – the bar area, 

which is all about Leeston; the 

lake-themed restaurant; a sports 

area; and the music section, 

featuring a full drum kit mounted 

on the wall in the stairwell. 

Mr Bradford said he had big 

plans for coming events at the 

pub, but they were still under 

wraps. 

“Now it’s open I can sit back 

and start planning,” he said. 

OCCASION: Fergie McCormick (left) and Alby Anderson cut 

the ribbon to open the Crate and Barrel. 

THEME: Each of the sections of the new bar and restaurant are 

designed around a different theme, including music, motor-cycles 

and game hunting.

Time to celebrate the lives of 

those who have shaped us 

The mayor writes about 

appreciating the value of 

friends and family 

Selwyn is full of inspirational 

people. 

Last week I attended the 

funeral of Annie Gwendoline 

Hatton who had lived 102 great 

years. 

The occasion celebrated her 

life and her family including 

children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren 

and great-greatgrandchildren. 

Over 102 years there have been 

many world events that she had 

lived through but the stories 

shared at the service focused on 

the lasting legacy she leaves with 

her family and community. 

A legacy of love, care, compassion, 

and hope for life beyond 

this world. 

Last week my brother had a 

child. My nephew was born at 

2.46am being 3.3kg. 

He is born to a family who 

love him dearly. He has a great 

grandmother, grandparents, and 

extended family who will help 

him grow and develop through 

the years. 

He is born into the same world 

Sam 

Broughton 

Selwyn Mayor 

as Gwenda and yet into a very 

different world. 

We all have stories about 

people in our family who have 

inspired us to choose the life 

we have, or to hold certain 

philosophies or make particular 

decisions. 

The people who support us are 

often those outside our family 

too. 

Spring is now here and is a 

time when the environment 

celebrates life, there are 

blossoms, daffodils, lambs and 

calves, and sprouts and leaves 

all beginning the next season of 

growth. 

It can also be a time when we 

celebrate our own lives and the 

lives of those who have shaped 

us. 

This spring I encourage you to 

think about the people of influence 

in your life. 

Perhaps those who made a 

difference while you were 

at school, or maybe your 

neighbour who was always there 

for you? 

Perhaps there are one or two 

aunties and uncles who you 

loved to stay with when you were 

young? 

Maybe there are a couple 

of people who have been an 

encouragement and support for 

you recently? 

Who is that friend who has 

often had the right words to say 

to you? 

I encourage you to be grateful 

for the good people in your life, 

and to let them know you are 

grateful for their friendship and 

support. 

Maybe you need to call your 

great grandmother, or perhaps 

you could say a few words to a 

newborn. 

An Environment 

Canterbury spokeswoman 

responds to Selwyn Times’ 

article over noise issues 

at the Fond Farewells Pet 

Cremation Service 

In the story on Fond Farewells 

last week it stated that a new 

resource consent was granted in 

2003. 

This is incorrect, the existing 

consent granted in 1996 was 

transferred to another party. 

The application lodged in 1995 

for an air discharge permit was 

assessed and audited against the 

plans and policies in place at the 

time. 

The resource consent processed 

was notified in 1996. 

The submitters withdrew their 

submissions and the hearing 

decision was made by the 

Principal Hearing Committee 

in 1997. 

The consent holders of 

CRC960431 transferred the consent 

to the new operators in 2003 

to Gribbles Veterinary Pathology 

Ltd. 

The resource consent record 

changed to CRC960431.1. 

Our consent search engine 

doesn’t show the history/transfers 

of the consent, so it’s an easy 

mistake. 

Readers respond to 

Selwyn Times’ article on 

an application for an offlicence 

liquor store for 

Lincoln 

Sally Cammock – Already 

have one . . . don’t need another. 

There is also liquor available at 

New World. 

Pamela Neil – Better than 

what it is now.

Carolyn Phil Murphy – Good 

on Lincoln High School. 

Carolyn Fraser: Liquor outlets 

are everywhere. 

Jamie Lawrence: Have you 

people seen the projections for 

Lincoln over the next 10 years? 

But sure if they open another 

supermarket that sold alcohol 

it wouldn’t be a problem right? 

What does it matter if someone 

wants to start another business? 

Rolleston or Hornby aren’t 

that far away if people want 

alcohol. As a previous student 

at Lincoln I can honestly say 

another alcohol store would 

not make a single difference, its 

easy enough for students to get 

alcohol if they want it. Another 

store won’t make that any easier, 

most kids parents or siblings buy 

them alcohol anyway. 

Residents write to the 

Selwyn Times about the 

construction of a new 

bridge at Liffey Stream 

Jens Christensen – Thank 

you for publishing my letter 

regarding the waste of money 

proposed to be spent on a third 

footbridge over the Liffey Stream 

south of Edward St. 

Firstly, may I say that the letter 

contained no link to my position 

of chair of the Rolleston Reserve 

Management Committee, this 

was unfortunately your doing. 

The letter was written in my 

private capacity as a ratepayer 

concerned about what is obviously 

a waste of ratepayer money 

and with my knowledge of the 

area as the developer of the Ryelands 

subdivision. 

If it is the intention of the 

Lincoln Community Committee 

and district council to link the 

esplanades on the eastern bank 

of the Millpond then the full 

story hasn’t been told or costed 

as there will be a need to construct 

another bridge over the 

pond that lies to the south of the 

old club building, for this piece 

of water is privately owned and 

not part of the esplanade. 

The committee sees benefit in 

being able to walk the full length 

of the reserve but this can be 

done on all of the western side 

but not all of the eastern side. 

Surely the wildlife that frequent 

this pond have some rights 

to roost and nest without the 

public access and disturbance 

along both sides of the stream. 

The committee comments that 

without this bridge, the public 

needs to take a considerable 

detour regardless of where the 

existing bridges are. 

That is misleading to me and if 

people are walking for the experience 

and good of their health, 

does an extra 200 to 400m really 

matter? 

I urge the district council 

and community committee to 

properly evaluate this project 

before spending any more 

money in considering the above, 

and provide the community of 

Selwyn with a proper cost benefit 

analysis of this project before 

going any further. 

By the way, don’t use the school 

as an excuse as it is scheduled 

to be back on its Boundary Rd/ 

North Belt site by the end of 2018. 

Ross Mitchell – I agree with 

Jens Christensen’s comments in 

that the proposed new bridge 

seems a huge extravagance. I 

would like to suggest that the 

funding for the proposed bridge 

be spent on maintaining the 

lovely asset that we already have 

in the Mill Stream pond. The 

weir that creates the pond would 

have long disappeared if it 

weren’t for the efforts on a local 

resident in maintaining the weir 

at his own expense. Full marks to 

that resident, albeit that the weir 

is still in a pretty parlous state. 

The rapid encroachment of the

Volunteers help students 

achieve outside school 

Darfield High 

School principal 

James Morris 

writes about 

the role of 

parents and 

organisations 

in the school’s sporting, 

cultural and academic 

activities 

I would like to celebrate those 

staff, parents and others in the 

community who contribute their 

time, energy and skills to activities 

for students beyond the core 

subjects they normally take in 

school. 

These sporting, cultural 

and academic activities are an 

important part of the culture of 

our school and the learning that 

students do. 

In noting a few recent examples, 

I keep in mind that this is 

only a small part of the picture 

of contributions to the school. 

Rather, these are examples that 

illustrate the value of those who 

can go the extra mile. 

Last week hockey, basketball. 

rugby and netball teams competed 

in the national secondary 

schools tournament week in 

various locations around the 

South Island. In order for the 

students to be part of this, we 

rely on the dedication throughout 

the season of the coaches, 

managers and parents (often the 

same person) to prepare, transport 

and manage the teams. 

Each year, the Malvern Lions 

club run two Fries Days at the 

school to raise funds for our 

young achievers reward trip. 

For each of these, a big team 

of Lions volunteers donate their 

time to run the production of 

the food. We appreciate Lions 

ongoing support of our school 

and the students. 

Year 12 students participated 

in an interview day where they 

were interviewed by employers 

in mock job interviews as part of 

their preparation for real interviews 

in the future. 

Many local businesses and 

individuals gave their time to 

provide this valuable learning 

experience. 

Many of our students and 

other children are also involved 

in gymnastics at the school gym 

on Fridays. 

This was started three years 

ago by a parent when she saw a 

need in the community. 

It has grown to be a big part of 

many families weekly calendar, 

with more than 100 participants 

spread over four sessions, 

including some of our students 

involved as leaders. 

Year 8 classes are working 

together to develop a vegetable 

garden with the intention of 

making products to sell using 

the vegetables they grow. 

The teachers leading this 

project appreciate the support of 

several local companies which 

have supplied materials to get it 

off the ground. 

ADVENTURE: Meg Watson (left) taking on the outdoors as part 

of an eight-day Outward Bound course. 

West Melton woman 

takes to the wilderness 

WEST MELTON woman Meg 

Watson has proved that having 

a neurological condition is no 

barrier to achieving things she 

never dreamed possible. 

Ms Watson, 21, attended 

Horizons, an eight-day Outward 

Bound course adapted for people 

with a range of intellectual disabilities. 

Her group of students was 

challenged to test their boundaries 

through activities in the 

outdoors, including sailing, high 

ropes and climbing rock faces 

blindfolded. 

With a neurological condition 

that affects her focus and 

balance, accompanied by mood 

disorders, including depression 

and anxiety, Ms Watson said 

going to Outward Bound really 

showed her she was capable of 

anything. 

“While it was challenging being 

away from family, I had time 

to think and I learned a lot about 

myself. I realised anything is 

possible. There were some really 

challenging activities, like climbing 

the rock face but I did it and 

loved it. We really are capable of 

doing things we don’t think are 

possible,” she said. 

Being around people 24/7 was 

also a highlight. 

“Being with people meant 

there was always someone to talk 

to. I loved having people around 

me,” she said.

Proportion of respondents rating service good or very good 

It’s encouraging 

that residents 

generally see our overall 

performance improving 

over time, and that most 

people really enjoy living 

in Selwyn – Mayor Sam Broughton 

Residents’ satisfaction with Selwyn District Council’s 

overall performance has increased for the fourth 

consecutive year. 

In the Council’s latest residents’ opinion survey, 70% of 

respondents rated the Council’s overall performance as 

good or very good – an increase of 5% from 2016. This 

continues a long-term trend which has seen the overall 

performance rating rise steadily from 58% in 2013. 

The survey also showed that 91% of residents think 

Selwyn is a great place to live – slightly down on last 

year’s 94% but up on 90% recorded in 2015. 

Across 21 different Council services surveyed, 17 recorded satisfaction ratings of 50% or higher. 

Ten services recorded an increase in their rating from last year, while the same number saw a 

reduction and one remained unchanged. 

Among the highest rated services were rubbish collection (96% rated good or very good), 

recycling (95%), libraries (85%), parks and reserves (84%) and sewerage and wastewater (78%). 

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton says the continuing increase in the overall performance rating is a 

positive signal from the community. 

“This survey provides us with valuable feedback on how we’re doing each year,” he says. “It’s 

encouraging that residents generally see our overall performance improving over time, and that 

most people really enjoy living in Selwyn. 

“However the survey also points out areas where we need to continue improving services, 

particularly our rural roading network. It’s important that we listen to residents’ views – and these 

results will be taken into account as the Council works on priorities for our next 10-year plan.” 

The survey was carried out in June and July by independent research company Research First, 

and surveyed 411 people using telephone, cellphone and online surveys to provide a statistically 

representative sample of Selwyn’s population. 

Waste management services maintained high satisfaction ratings. Alongside rubbish collection 

(96%) and recycling (95%), organic collection was also rated highly at 89%. The Pines Resource 

Recovery Park was rated good or very good by 74% of residents overall – and 82% among those 

who had used the facility. 

Community facilities continue to be well used and enjoyed by 

residents. Public halls have been used at least once in the past 

year by 81% of respondents, while 83% have visited a park or 

reserve and 69% have used the public library network. Satisfaction 

with libraries increased by 3% to 85%, while parks and reserves 

(84%) and public halls (72%) also recorded increases. 

Satisfaction with wastewater services increased by 4% to 

78%, while water supplies increased slightly from 73% to 74%. 

Satisfaction with urban stormwater reduced by 3% to 51%, 

while the rating for water races dropped from 50% to 44%. 

Satisfaction ratings were higher among respondents who actually 

used the services with wastewater rating 87%, stormwater 66% 

and water races 51%. 

In land transport services, some services saw a decrease in 

their rating, including satisfaction with urban roads (rated good 

or very good by 50%), rural roads (32%) and making roads and 

footpaths safer (40%). 

There was also an increase in the number of people who 

said they felt a sense of community with people in their 

neighbourhood, up from 69% to 73%. 

Mayor Broughton says the Council is continuing to invest in 

maintaining and improving services. Current and planned 

work programmes include road maintenance, renewals and 

resurfacing, extending the district’s footpath network, new 

cycleways and intersection improvements. 

Water supply improvements and treatment upgrades are under 

way or planned at several locations across the district. The 

Council is also investing in new community centres at West 

Melton and Tai Tapu, earthquake strengthening community halls, 

and adding or upgrading facilities at other facilities.

Project Wild Thing – reconnect your kids with nature 

Selwyn District Council is bringing the internationally acclaimed film documentary, ‘Project Wild Thing’, to 

Selwyn. The UK film has kickstarted a movement to encourage children to play outdoors and reconnect 

with the natural world. 

Project Wild Thing is supported by The Wild Network, a collaborative movement of over 1000 organisations 

and thousands of individuals committed to getting kids outdoors. 

By ‘rewilding’ childhood, Project Wild Thing aims to improve children’s health, happiness, and respect for 

the environment. 

At this free event, Selwyn parents will enjoy a screening of the documentary, while their children experience 

a variety of play activities at the Rubicon Valley Tourist Centre with the TimberNook outdoor education team. 

The event will also include a farm display, games, horse trek, bush walk, rock skimming, outdoor challenges 

and jet boating. The jet boating and horse back tours will be discounted and are at attendees’ cost. 

Selwyn’s Project Wild Thing takes place on Sunday 8 October from 11am–3pm at the Rubicon Valley 

Tourist Centre, Otarama Road, Springfield. 

Registrations are open now at www.selwyn.govt.nz, closing on Monday 2 October. Limited spaces are 

available. This event is for children aged 5–12 years old and up to two caregivers.

Jurassic future ahead for 

Rolleston’s teen scientist 

A ROLLESTON College 

student has been recognised 

for achieving 29 science badges 

as part of a scheme designed 

to promote students interest in 

science activities. 

Bailey Faas, 13, was awarded 

bronze, silver and gold star 

badges by the Science Award 

Trust for being the first person 

to complete 29 badges. 

The topics of each badge 

ranged from agriculture to zoology. 

Science Award Trust chairwoman 

Sue Jarvis said Bailey 

was the first student to achieve 

the high number of badges and 

the trust congratulates him on 

his amazing achievement. 

The science badge scheme is 

run by the Science Award Trust, 

a group of current and former 

teachers who give their time 

voluntarily to provide science 

resources to students, parents 

and teachers 

Bailey first started completing 

science badges when he was in 

year 7 at Rolleston School. 

“I saw a girl in assembly getting 

a badge for ‘large animals’. 

It sounded like fun and I wanted 

to try it,” he said. 

Zoology was Bailey’s first 

science badge and he completed 

another two while still in year 7. 

Last year, while in year 8, 

WELL DONE: Science Award Trust chairwoman Sue 

Jarvis presented Rolleston College student Bailey Faas 

with his bronze, silver and gold star badges and a letter of 

congratulations. 

Bailey worked tirelessly and 

completed 20 additional badges, 

bringing his total to 23 by the 

end of primary school. 

As one of the foundation 

learners at Rolleston College this 

year, Bailey had the opportunity 

to continue his science investigations. 

As part of the school’s science 

extension selected course “just 

a theory”, he completed the last 

six remaining science badges 

available. 

“I have always been interested 

in astronomy and palaeontology 

– the palaeontology badge was 

my favourite,” he said. 

Bailey said science has 

expanded his knowledge on a 

number of things and he recommends 

the scheme for other 

people too. 

Looking ahead to the future, 

Bailey plans to take as many 

science-selected courses at his 

school as possible. 

Regarding his career plans, he 

is thinking of joining the military, 

or even the military police. 

“That, or I become a palaeontologist,” 

he said.

welcomed the arrival of the 500th pupil 

on its roll for the first time in its 160-year

he started his first day in the school’s new

Ellesmere speech winners roar 

SELWYN TIMES 

SCHOOL DAYS should be 

shorter. Farming isn’t bad. 

These were the topics Ellesmere 

College students discussed 

in last week’s Selwyn Lions 

Speech Competition. 

Flynn Price won the year 7 

category of the competition and 

Jennifer Barnett took second 

place in the year 8 section. 

Thirteen schools entered the 

competition which took place at 

the Prebbleton School hall. 

Administration support 

teacher Lindsay Cook said gaining 

first and second places was a 

great result for the students. In 

his speech, Flynn was all for a 

shorter school day because some 

students get on the bus at 7.45am 

and do not return home until 

4.30pm. 

He said that is a long day and 

involves many kilometres of 

travel.

cive to good learning and that 

it would be better for the school 

day to run from 10am to 2pm. 

Jennifer Barnett lives on a 

crop and sheep farm. She said 

many people are against farming 

and blame environmental 

problems, such as the issues with 

Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora, on 

farming when there are other 

contributing factors such as the 

effects of bird droppings.

School play gets airtime 

LEESTON Consolidated School 

pupils have let their creative 

juices flow writing an original 

play. 

After a couple of sessions with 

the School For Young Writers 

the pupils spent five hours 

rehearsing their play which was 

aired on Plains FM recently. 

How World War 3 Happened 

Because of a Paper Clip tells the 

story of a girl called Gabby, the 

daughter of the prime minister 

who reveals top secret information 

during a speech competition. 

The speech, which was livestreamed, 

did not end well 

because the information would 

have been misinterpreted by the 

audience in Japan. 

Gabby and her friends have 

to stop the information from 

reaching Japan to prevent World 

War 3.

Eel-saving video recognised 

SPRINGSTON SCHOOL has 

been recognised for a clever 

video they created about saving 

eels. 

Two pupils from the school 

won the overall trophy for the 

Lincoln Envirotown’s Selwyn 

Environmental Video Awards 

on Friday. 

The award called the Kea 

Trophy 2017 was presented to 

the pupils by Deputy Mayor 

Malcolm Lyall. 

Lincoln Envirotown Trust 

chairwoman Dr Sue Jarvis said it 

was a simple but effective video 

featuring an eel puppet made out 

of an old sock. 

She said the video clearly 

outlined what people can do to 

save the eels. 

There was stiff competition 

from the diverse groups and 

individuals that had put their 

filmmaking skills into showing 

their concerns and actions relating 

the environment. 

Dr Jarvis said all were winners 

on the night as everyone came 

away with a certificate and a bag 

of goodies kindly donated by 

Rolleston Square, Enviro-Mark

A&P show marks 155 years 

LIVESTOCK AND equestrian 

judges from across the globe 

will descend on Christchurch 

in mid-November as New 

Zealand’s largest A&P Show 

turns 155-years-old. 

More than 500 people volunteer 

at the Canterbury A&P 

Show every year and around 120 

of those volunteers are judges, 

with some coming from as far as 

the United States this year. 

Canterbury A&P Association 

president Peter Gilbert said the 

calibre of judges is one of the 

reasons the Canterbury A&P 

Show is seen as New Zealand’s 

most prestigious A&P event. 

“Bringing these judges in from 

overseas is a huge drawcard for 

our competitors. Not only do 

they bring extensive international 

experience, it’s also extra 

confirmation for our competitors 

that their stock is the best of 

the best as they’re being judged 

by someone completely new,” he 

said. 

This year the Canterbury A&P 

Show will host a Royal A&P 

dairy cattle event, which has 

prompted the appointment of 

Mark Rueth from Wisconsin, 

US. 

Mr Rueth owns Rosedale 

Genetics, has sold embryos in 

10 countries and has judged at 

top level shows and expos in the

Committee. 

Mr Gilbert said it is not just 

the overseas judges that bring 

a wealth of knowledge to the 

event. 

“We also have judges coming 

from across New Zealand, many 

of whom have decades of experience 

both here and overseas. A 

lot of these people have worked 

in the industry for a long time, 

forging their careers in genetics, 

owning their own studs or 

just being incredibly passionate 

about stock judging. Some have 

volunteered for many years at 

our show too. We can’t thank 

them enough for lending their 

time and expertise.” 

With entries closing in a couple 

of weeks, Mr Gilbert urged 

exhibitors to get their entries in. 

“Not only is it a great opportunity 

to win prizes and 

awards, it’s also a chance to 

swap knowledge and ideas with 

other exhibitors and learn from 

judges too. 

“You can’t beat the chance to 

catch up with old friends and 

meet other like-minded people. 

It’s a very special event and my 

family and I cherish the friendships 

that have come from the 

show over the years,” he said.

TITLE: 

Lincoln A 

celebrate 

their fifth 

straight title 

and remain 

unbeaten 

over the 

last three 

seasons. 

Fifth title for invincible Lincoln 

• By Gordon Findlater 

LINCOLN PROVED unbeatable 

for a third straight season when 

they claimed the Selwyn Netball 

Centre premier title with a 57-47 

win over Broadfield on Saturday. 

It was Lincoln’s fifth straight title 

and continued an unbeaten run 

for the team which stretches back 

to start of the 2015 season. 

“We do have quite the run going 

on and we’d like it to continue,” 

said Lincoln player/coach Vanessa 

Robinson. 

Saturday’s final against Broadfield 

was no walk in the park with 

injuries requiring two players from 

the Lincoln B team to step into the 

squad for the biggest match of the 

season. 

Although the team is more than 

used to playing in the final, there 

were still plenty of early nerves. 

“It was a really tough battle. 

[Broadfield] came out firing and it 

took us about 15min to settle into 

the game,” said Robinson. 

As the game progressed, Lincoln 

seized control. Robinson highlighted 

the play of centre Char 

Porima, and goal-shooter Hannah 

Wilson, who made 41 of her 46 

shot attempts. 

“For a final that’s pretty outstanding,” 

said Robinson. 

The team are very keen to 

continue the unbeaten run in 

2018 but, for now, they will enjoy 

celebrating another title. 

“We’re very good at celebrating. 

We hit Lincoln and then we hit my 

place. The boys were watching the 

rugby and the girls were partying,” 

said Robinson. 

Finals results: 

Premier one: Lincoln 57, 

Broadfield 47. 

Premier two: Burnham 53, 

Lincoln B 37. 

Premier three: Templeton 

61, Lincoln C 45.

Lincoln make quarter-finals in 

national football tournament 


LINCOLN HIGH School 

achieved their best ever result at 

the national secondary school 

football tournament, finishing 

sixth in Taupo last week. 

The second day of the weeklong 

tournament was one to 

remember not just for Lincoln, 

but for central defender-comestriker 

Jacob Anderson. 

Starting the day, Lincoln 

needed a victory in their final 

pool game against Tauranga 

Boys’ College to qualify for the 

round of 16. 

Tied at two-all with just 

minutes remaining, Lincoln 

were awarded an indirect free 

kick which was slotted home by 

Anderson. The 18-year-old was 

then the hero again just hours 

later when he scored another 

90th-minute winner, which saw 

his side defeat Otago Boys’ High 

School 2-1 in the round of 16. 

Anderson has played in the 

central defence for Lincoln most 

of the season but was at striker 

throughout the tournament, 

a move that ended up paying 

dividends. 

Lincoln were defeated by 

tournament runners-up 

Auckland’s Sacred Heart 

College in the quarter-final 0-4, 

before recording a 2-1 win over 

Wellington’s St Patrick’s College 

and a 0-2 loss to Saint Kentigern 

College from Auckland, to 

finish the 32-strong tournament 

in sixth. 

On day one, Lincoln started 

their first two pool games with 

a 2-1 win over Auckland’s St 

Peter’s College before going 

down 1-2 to St Patrick’s College. 

It was also a successful 

week for the girls first XI who 

finished runners-up at the

Lincoln under-15s take silverware 


LINCOLN HIGH School’s 

under-15 rugby team had a 

strong finish to the South 

Island secondary schools winter 

tournament in Greymouth last 

week. 

They came home with a piece 

of silverware, winning the division 

two title, defeating Dunstan 

High School from Alexandra 

17-10 in the final. 

The 26-team strong tournament 

consisted of a pool play section, 

with the top eight, middle 

eight and bottom 10 teams then 

split into three divisions. 

Lincoln suffered two narrow 

defeats first up in their pool, 

going down to Dunedin’s John 

McGlashan College 12-14, and 

Wanaka’s Mt Aspiring College 

7-8. 

Their first win came in their 

final pool play game, comfortably 

accounting for Roncalli College 

33-3 to qualify for division two. 

In the quarter-final, Lincoln 

brushed aside Rangiora High 

School 33-3, before defeating 

Ashburton College 17-7 in the 

semi-final. 

Prop Jordan Lill was named 

in the tournament team at the 

prize-giving.

Barnes plans to play 

mystery set in Lincoln 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

JIMMY BARNES hasn’t 

decided what songs he will 

play at March’s Selwyn 

Sounds. 

He will choose on the 

day when he sees the 

crowd. 

“I get to a set and I have 

a look at the audience 

– what are they doing, 

are they having a good 

time? And I’ll pick the set 

accordingly,” he said. 

One thing’s for sure – he 

plans to “rock out” and 

give the crowd a good 

show. 

The legendary Aussie 

rocker will headline the 

day-long music festival at 

Lincoln Domain on March 

3. 

It follows this year’s 

inaugural event, which saw 

Jordan Luck Band, Mi-Sex, 

Dragon and other Kiwi 

heavyweights play in front 

of about 10,000 people. 

Barnes, who now lives in 

the Southern Highlands, 

New South Wales, said he 

couldn’t be sure if he had 

visited Lincoln before. 

But he enjoyed playing 

in small towns. It took him 

back to where he started as 

lead singer in Cold Chisel, 

he said. 

“I’m looking forward to 

it, it’s a beautiful part of 

the country,” he said. 

“I like to support the 

area, especially after the 

earthquakes.” 

When his music career 

began in the 1970s, he 

never imagined some of 

the songs would still be 

crowd favourites today, he 

said. 

Khe Sanh, which was 

recorded in 1976, was an 

example, he said. 

“When you get up and 

play it, you can see young 

and old and they’re all 

BIG NAME: Rock and roll legend Jimmy Barnes says 

he’s looking forward to headlining the next Selwyn 

Sounds. 

there singing it. The song 

is as relevant now as it 

was then. How it connects 

with people, it makes it all 

worth it.” 

And, in spite of being 

one of the best-selling 

Australian music rockers 

of all time, Barnes said 

he enjoyed a variety of 

genres. 

He was a big fan of 

Ray Charles, Stevie 

Wonder, Paul Rodgers, 

Stevie Marriott, Bruce 

Springsteen, Neil Finn and 

even Sia. 

Barnes, who changed 

his last name from Swan, 

was born in Glasgow and 

emigrated to Adelaide as a 

five-year-old. 

Selwyn Sounds will be 

a real family affair from 

Barnes. His kids, Jackie, 

Elly-May and EJ, and 

wife Jane will perform 

alongside him in Lincoln. 

Barnes said he wasn’t 

sure whether he would 

be staying in Lincoln or 

for how long, but if so, he 

would likely be out and 

about looking for a nice 

place to eat. 

So would he make an 

impromptu performance? 

“You never know.”

NEW CORRECTIONS recruit 

Charmaine Shaw is using her 

skills as the manager of the 

South Island Scorpions rugby 

league team in her new career as 

a frontline officer. 

She is working at Christchurch 

Women’s Prison after completing 

her 12-week Corrections officer 

development pathway course. She 

was presented with the minister’s 

excellence award acknowledging 

the leadership, passion and 

professionalism she displayed 

throughout her training. 

Mrs Shaw, of Halswell, says 

there are parallels between the 

skills she has honed through her 

involvement with the Scorpions 

and the approach she takes every 

day working in the prison. 

“You have to be dedicated and 

loyal to the task at hand,” she says. 

“Just like training for rugby 

league, you have to be committed 

whether it’s in the sunshine 

or in the pouring rain. You learn 

to take the not so good days with 

the really good days and recognise 

that’s just the way life rolls 

sometimes. You can’t get hung 

up on the negatives. 

“It’s like losing a game where 

you learn from what didn’t work 

well, accept the loss and maybe 

try a different strategy next time. 

“In the Scorpions, we want to 

encourage the young players to 

be good young men who will 

grow up to be good husbands 

and fathers. You want them to be 

positive contributors to society 

and get them to take all the opportunities 

given to them. 

“We look for talent and skill on 

the field, but the players’ attitude 

is their most important attribute. 

In a split second a person’s attitude 

can take them to a good 

place or a bad place – I’m looking 

for the same thing with the 

women in prison I work with.” 

Mrs Shaw says her work in 

education, with youth and with 

people with mental health issues 

has helped with her understanding 

of her new role. Her knowledge 

of Te Reo Maori will also 

be put to great use in the prison’s 

programmes. 

“I am proud to be Maori, the 

statistics for Maori in prisons 

are not very good and I want to 

be a positive Maori role model 

to the people I work with daily,” 

she said. 

“I feel very humbled to be in a 

role where I can influence others 

and utilise my people skills to 

assist and guide others to want to 

be better people and change their 

lives so that they never return to 

prison.” 

The Corrections officer 

development pathway is a new 

training package for custodial officers 

that blends on-the-job and 

classroom-based learning for 

Corrections officers and offender 

employment instructors. 

Each learner’s development is 

led and managed by their home 

prison and experienced prison

staff have a key role in progressing 

learners along the pathway. 

“I absolutely loved college and 

the experiences we had,” said 

Mrs Shaw. 

“Our facilitators were engaging, 

supportive and passionate in 

giving us the foundation tools we 

needed to start in our new roles 

on the frontline. 

“The camaraderie of both my 

Christchurch-based colleagues 

and also my wider training 

cohort was a huge driving force 

behind my learning,” she says. 

“I am loving being at Christchurch 

Women’s Prison. It is a 

great place to start my career and 

there are plenty of opportunities 

to continue learning.” 

Christchurch Women’s Prison 

director Wayne McKnight says 

although Mrs Shaw is new to 

Corrections she is already making 

her mark. 

“The skills she already learnt 

leading to her career change to 

Corrections have put her in a 

good place for this role. Working 

in a prison can be extremely 

challenging but also rewarding.” 

“Much like sports management, 

it is all about people, 

mentoring and looking for that 

opportunity to influence change. 

You need to be patient, supportive 

and constantly watching for 

that opportunity.”

SELWYN TIMES 

How to control leaf curl in peach trees 

• By Sarah Frater 

LEAF CURL (Taphrina 

deformans) is a common fungal 

disease that effects peach, 

nectarine, peachcott, and 

peacherine trees. 

It causes the leaves (and some 

times the fruit) of the infected 

tree to become puckered, curled 

and much thicker than normal. If 

left untreated the problem will get 

worse year-after-year and reduce 

the tree’s ability to produce lots of 

fruit. 

Over winter the fungal spores 

take up residence in different 

parts of the tree, but mainly in the 

buds. When the cool wet weather 

of spring and summer arrives 

many leaf curl spores are produced 

and are then splashed or 

blown from tree to tree. Because 

this is also the time the trees are 

breaking bud and forming new 

leaves, the new growth is easily 

reinfected with leaf curl. 

Controlling leaf curl isn’t easy 

but good orchard hygiene habits, 

which should be repeated each 

year, will give you the best chance. 

First of all, plant your trees 

where they will get adequate air 

movement – this will help minimise 

fungal problems. 

In spring apply a light dressing 

of a quick acting fertiliser such as 

sulphate of ammonia to encourage 

new leaf growth. At the same 

time, I also recommend applying 

a seaweed fertiliser to help the 

plants’ immunity to leaf curl. 

If you do get leaf curl, during 

spring is when you will notice it 

in your trees. Once you notice 

the symptoms of leaf curl in your 

NATURE’S BOUNTY: If left untreated leaf curl will get worse year-after-year and reduce a tree’s 

ability to produce fruit. 

leaves it is too late to control the 

disease in those leaves but there is 

lots you can to do try and stop the 

fungus from spreading. 

The first step is to remove and 

destroy as many infected leaves as 

practical. But don’t compost these 

as it will spread the infection. 

In autumn and early winter 

clean up around the base of any 

peach and nectarine trees and 

removing as many leaves as possible. 

Because these types of trees are 

susceptible to leaf curl, I suggest 

doing this regardless of whether 

they’ve shown any signs of 

disease. And, again remember – 

don’t compost the leaves. 

Next, you should spray your 

deciduous trees (the trees that 

lose their leaves every year) with 

lime sulphur. 

The lime sulphur acts by 

burning off the over wintering 

fungi and pests, including mites. 

It’s very important you do this 

for gooseberry bushes because 

they are prone to catching mites 

which can eat out the flower buds, 

meaning your bush ends up with 

no fruit. Luckily, the lime sulphur 

will get rid of those mites. 

But I don’t recommend applying 

it to your apricot trees 

because they can be sensitive to 

lime, so it’s best just to avoid it. 

Around now, in late winter/ 

spring (and don’t worry if you 

haven’t done any of the other 

steps yet – just start now), apply 

a copper-based fungicide to all 

your deciduous fruit trees – not 

just peach trees. A copper-based 

fungicide will help stop leaf curl 

on peach and nectarine trees but 

it will also treat fungal problems 

on other fruit trees – like black 

spot on apple trees. 

I also recommend mixing 

in the copper fungicide with a 

spreader/sticker, which you can 

get from your local garden centre. 

It works a bit like soap. 

Combined with the fungicide, 

it will make the whole area you 

spray wet and then when it dries 

it sticks to the area so you get 

good coverage that sticks or stays 

on the tree for a long time. 

The copper fungicide (and 

spreader/sticker) should be applied 

while the leaf and flower 

buds are still closed – right before 

the buds burst. Spray thoroughly 

as you need to create a surface 

barrier. 

Then follow this up with 

another spray 10-14 days later – 

particularly if you’ve had lots of 

wet weather. This will ensure the 

trees get the coverage they need. 

Once you have flower buds 

showing it’s really important not 

to spray copper, as it’s very toxic 

to bees when it’s wet – though 

fine once it’s dried. And it’s also 

past the point of the copper being 

effective as the idea of the copper 

is to add a protectant layer over 

the buds, before they burst. 

And that’s it for the year. Now, 

you just have to go back to the 

beginning of the process and 

repeat all of the steps – except for 

applying copper fungicide. 

Because copper is a heavy metal 

it can build up in the soil. It’s also 

very toxic to bees when wet so 

should only be used when necessary. 

If in the past year your trees 

showed no signs of disease just skip 

the copper step the following year. 

But, if they are newly-planted 

trees; or were effected by fungus 

or disease; or you had a wet 

winter; or you didn’t spray with 

lime sulphur, then you should still 

apply copper fungicide.

Question: 

Answer: 

What should I be doing to my lawn at this time of the year? 

(So that it’s stays healthy and green throughout Spring and Summer) 

After the wet winter that we have had, lawns 

are looking rather sad. Yellow foliage, lots of 

moss, and the ground has compacted with 

the wet. Once the grass has started to grow and the first cut has been made, 

you can start the renovation of the lawn. 

First, it is important that the grass is not cut too low 

and that the clippings are removed. To improve the 

aeration of the ground it can be cored using a coring 

tool and the resulting holes filled with lawn mix, sand 

or potting mix. If extra seed is required to cover bare 

patches, you can add that in as well. A garden fork 

worked back and forward will do the job for areas 

not too compacted. Moss may be treated with iron 

sulphate or any of the liquid moss control products 

but it is important to follow the instructions on the 

label accurately. After the 2nd or 3rd cut, you can 

now apply lawn fertiliser. Intelligro have a great 

lawn fertiliser that will help to promote dense leaf 

growth – reducing space for weeds, it helps to 

develop the grass at the roots, and also has iron 

sulphate added to help control moss. Separate 

weed control may be done once the temperatures 

warm up later in September.

As we draw closer and closer to the warmer, drier weather 

we need to remember to establish a regular watering 

pattern. This extends to all areas of the garden, not just the 

lawn. Make a plan to give your lawn and plants a good 

soak of water every few days. This is far more effective than 

a light sprinkle each day.

Take time to plant popular lettuce 

• By Henri Ham 

SPRING IS officially here. 

It’s the busiest time of the year 

in the garden and one plant to 

get in now is lettuce. 

It’s not surprising lettuce is 

a popular plant to grow at this 

time of year. 

They grow well in these 

conditions and, in my opinion, 

there’s just something about the 

warmer weather that makes you 

want to enjoy salad. 

It’s funny now to think that 

back in the day we used to 

harvest the whole lettuce when 

it was ready. 

Those were the days when iceberg 

was all the rage. But now, 

as most of us know, with many 

of the types of lettuce you can 

just pick off the leaves you need 

at the time and leave the plant 

growing. 

Probably the hardest part 

about growing lettuce is deciding 

which type to plant. That’s 

why I’m a big fan of growing a 

couple of several varieties. 

Once you’ve got your lettuce 

seedlings look for somewhere 

well-drained and sheltered to 

plant them. If you don’t have 

much space, try growing them 

in pots or even hanging baskets. 

The great thing about growing 

them in containers is you 

can make them easily accessible 

to your kitchen. 

When you’ve found the right 

spot to plant, dig a little hole 

and plant each seedling around 

20cm apart. 

Try not to overcrowd your 

seedlings to prevent fungal 

diseases. 

Watch out for slugs. 

DELICATE: Plant 

your seedlings in a 

well-drained and 

sheltered part of the 

garden. 

SALAD: Pick off a 

leaf or two and your 

lettuce plant will keep 

growing.

JONES ROAD 

ROLLESTON 

Diesel expertise in Rolleston 

Those who have driven down Jones Road recently, may 

have noticed another new business has opened there. 

Diesel Fix moved to its new and more 

spacious building in Jones Road in 

July, having previously been based in 

Springston. 

Owned by Phil Thompson and Kylie 

Eastwood, who moved to Rolleston over 

10 years ago, Diesel Fix has been operating 

for nearly three years with the business 

growing substantially in that time. 

Phil is an automotive and diesel fuel 

injection engineer. He completed trade 

qualifications in each along with training 

courses over a number of years at the 

Bosch headquarters in Melbourne. Along 

with over 30 years experience in fuel 

injection, Phil knows just about everything 

there is to know in the field. 

After many years working for others, 

Phil decided it was time to go out on his 

own, initially running a curbing business. 

People were continuously asking him 

to carry out diesel repairs so he started 

purchasing specialised equipment then 

decided to set up Diesel Fix. 

Diesel Fix offers a wide range of services 

from fuel injection pump reconditioning 

to injector reconditioning, common 

rail injectors, Efi injector servicing, 

compression testing and vehicle scanning. 

The business is equipped with the most 

recent diagnostic equipment and staff 

carry out other general automotive 

servicing as required. 

Phil also carries a large range of 

reconditioned injector pumps and 

injectors for exchange, and supplies new 

common rail injectors as well as other 

diesel parts. 

Supporting Phil is partner, Kylie who 

looks after the administrative work. The 

couple says moving the business to Jones 

Road has been great as it offers Diesel Fix 

a higher profile while also being a handy 

location for their customers who are 

based in the city and right across Selwyn 

including Rolleston. 

Customers can drop off or courier their 

pumps and other parts to Diesel Fix, 

which is open from 8am-5pm, Mondays 

to Fridays and Saturdays, 9am-1pm. It is a 

good idea to book repair work in, however 

if wanting advice from Phil pop into 821 

Jones Road, Rolleston or give him a call on 

0274 368 154 or 03 347 7108.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

The pros and cons of building sites 

When selecting a building site weigh up 

your lifestyle, family needs and aspirations 

before signing up for any section. 

Those purchasing early on in the 

development of a subdivision will have 

more choice of section size and orientation 

to the street and sun. As the individual 

sites are sold, there may be less availability 

though this need not be a deterrent. With 

good design any building site can be made 

to work. 

Selwyn has experienced considerable 

growth in recent years. Sub-divisions 

have opened up and been built on, with 

new developments regularly coming on 

stream. Within these, section sizes vary 

from around 400 square metres upwards 

to 5,000 square metres. Lifestyle blocks are 

also scattered around the district. 

The size of the house and amount of 

yard desired will influence the feasibility 

of some building sites as will sun and wind 

direction, bearing in mind that a house 

can be designed to capture the sun’s free 

heat and allow for pleasant outdoor areas 

to enjoy. 

If the street side of the building site is 

north/north west, incorporating fenced or 

planted courtyards can offer private places 

to entertain and bask in the sun. 

Those wanting street presence or keen 

on gardening may prefer a corner section 

and while it might seem they offer less 

privacy, with strategic placement of fences 

quite the opposite can be the case. 

Weigh up your family’s needs in terms 

of the outdoor areas too. Do you want play 

areas for your children? Do you have a 

need for off-street parking for a number of 

vehicles and space for a boat, caravan or 

motorhome, which may need to be parked 

out of site of the street? How much lawn or 

garden do you want? 

Start by identifying housing 

developments that you like and could see 

your family living in. Think also about the 

convenience of shops and other amenities, 

something that may or may not be a 

concern. 

Single out possible sections then talk 

with a designer or builder. Most building 

companies have a good selection of 

standard plans as a starting point and they 

will usually work with a client to modify 

a plan or draw up one that will work 

on a particular building site, whilst also 

containing the components the client is 

seeking within their new home. 

Before signing up for any building 

site, check the Council land zoning and 

recession plane requirements as well as 

covenants for the sub-division. These will 

show not only how far from a boundary 

the house can be sited but also roof 

height, permissible building materials, 

and acceptable types of fencing, as well as 

what can be on view from the street like 

a clothes line, caravan or motorhome. 

Conducting your research first will save 

any frustration or hassles later. 

All sections are workable, it is simply a 

matter of choosing one that matches your 

specific needs.

Getting what 

you paid for on 

settlement day 

13 

In the movies, the day someone gets 

the keys to their newly bought home is 

portrayed as a golden, stress-free time. The 

reality can be rather different, especially 

if you find your dream home has turned 

into something akin to Nightmare On 

Elm Street since you agreed to buy it. 

“The trick to a stress-free settlement 

is to do as much as you can in advance, 

starting with when you’re signing the sale 

and purchase agreement,” advises Kevin 

Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the 

Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA). 

“The sale and purchase agreement is the 

legally-binding contract agreed between 

you and the seller that details the property, 

the conditions of sale and the price. 

Make sure that there is an agreed list of 

chattels, with notes as to their condition, 

in this agreement. If the property is full of 

rubbish, and you want it gone before you 

take possession, make that a condition of 

the sale. If there are holes in the fence that 

the seller has promised to fix, get that in 

writing on the agreement: don’t rely on 

verbal assurances that something will be 

done prior to settlement. It’s far better 

to get all these niggly details sorted out 

before you sign the agreement than face 

protracted battles down the track.” 

As a buyer, you are generally entitled to 

one opportunity to inspect the property 

before settlement day. If the property has 

sitting tenants, ask your lawyer to ensure 

there is a ‘final inspection’ clause inserted 

in the sale and purchase agreement before 

you sign it. This inspection is to make 

sure that it is in the same or better order 

it was when you viewed it and agreed to 

the sale. It is not designed to give you the 

chance to uncover new defects, or to give 

a rental agent the chance to appraise the 

place’s value. 

“A seller does not have to accommodate 

any extra requests to visit the property 

prior to settlement,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“Remember that the seller may have a 

lot on their plate; making the property 

available so your interior decorator can 

measure up for new curtains is unlikely 

to be a high priority.” 

Your real estate agent will usually 

arrange the inspection with the seller, 

and accompany you to the property. Most 

experts recommend that this inspection 

takes place around 24 hours before 

settlement day so there are no hold-ups 

to the transfer of funds and ownership. 

When you come to inspect the property, 

everything should be as it was when you 

decided to purchase it (as reflected by the 

sale and purchase agreement). Lampen- 

Smith says you can expect chattels to be in 

a reasonable working order unless it has 

been agreed and documented otherwise. 

You cannot complain to the seller that 

the oven isn’t clean enough, but you can 

raise a complaint if it is missing, or it is 

a different model to the one cited in the 

agreement. Don’t forget to check that 

garage door openers and pool covers are 

in situ, or that locks work properly. 

If there is a problem, the REAA says 

you should speak to the real estate agent 

and your lawyer in the first instance. They 

can help you negotiate with the seller to 

remedy any issues, such as a newly broken 

window or missing keys. Your lawyer 

should work with the seller’s lawyer to 

reach a satisfactory solution, such as 

getting the seller to make any necessary 

repairs, or to deduct any costs from the 

eventual settlement. 

Making the final inspection 24 hours 

before settlement is due gives you and the 

seller time to reach an agreement over 

anything outstanding. This is important, 

because if you do not complete settlement 

on the due date and the seller can 

demonstrate that they were able and 

willing to complete their side of the 

settlement, then you will be liable for 

interest on any portion of the purchase 

price that is unpaid. The seller does not 

need to give you access to the property 

while any amount remains outstanding. 

“Like any property transaction, success 

often depends on doing things right at the 

start,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“Get the details right at the beginning 

and you’ve got a greater chance of a happy 

ending.”

the day. Ideal for a couple starting off or indeed a retired
