life-saving kidney transplant.
Said Maddie’s mother Sarah
Manson-Collins: “It’s great to be
out (of hospital) as it’s one step
towards home.”
Maddie, 14, was discharged
from Starship Children’s Health
on Thursday, but is returning
there every second day
for a month to have blood
tests.
Mrs Manson-Collins told
Selwyn Times Maddie’s kidney
disease, nephrotic syndrome,
had not returned yet.
Maddie, 14, and her family
were told on January 16 their
five-year wait for a kidney
match had been found.

Lincoln
bottle
store
opposition
dries up
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A NEW BOTTLE store will open
in Lincoln after objectors failed
to turn up to a hearing to try and
stop it.
SJTP Ltd was granted a licence
for the Liquorland store in Vernon
Drive across from the New World
supermarket. It is expected to open
soon.
There were 166 written objections
to the licence and 48 of those
said they wanted to be heard at the
hearing which was held in November
at the Lincoln Event Centre.
But only one of those turned up
and that person didn’t want to be
heard.
The Selwyn District Licensing
Committee released it decision last
week.
District licensing chairman Al
Lawn said the lack of turnout from
objectors at the hearing was “disappointing.”
This was because the applicant is
prevented from testing any of the
objector’s claims and assertions, he
said.
Objectors included Lincoln High
School board of trustees chairman
Adrian Paterson, Lincoln
University’s chief operating officer,
businesses and residents.

from the editor’s desk
PEOPLE WILL complain over just about
anything.
But when it comes to putting a stake in
the ground, it’s a different story.
That’s the bottom line to our front page
article today: The Claytons opposition to
Liquorland in Lincoln.
There were 166 objections to the bottle store and 48 of those
wanted to stand up and be counted at the hearing to decide
whether it got the green light or not. Only one of those turned
up and that person didn’t want to speak.
The bottle store is in a commercial area, away from schools
and homes, and will bring business and employment to Lincoln
– as well as keeping the heat on prices.
So was there any point in objecting?

Quarry fight gains
momentum after meeting
• By Emily O’Connell
FENCES WILL be painted and
a Givealittle page started in a bid
to continue to fight against plans
for a quarry near Weedons and
Templeton.
Fulton Hogan says the quarry,
which will be on a 170ha section
of land on Dawsons, Curraghs
and Jones Rds, will be there for
up to 40 years.
About 500 people filled the
Templeton Community Centre
last week to ask representatives
from Environment Canterbury,
the city council and the Selwyn
District Council
about potential
health risks, water
issues and the
devaluing of properties.
Garry Kilday
Templeton Residents
Association
chairman Garry Kilday said the
meeting was “really positive” but
“there’s a lot they [representatives]
aren’t saying.”
Mr Kilday said the group will
now look at opening a Givealittle
page to help cover legal costs.
He said some residents have offered
for their fences to be painted
with ‘no quarry’ messages.
At the meeting, a Templeton
resident who lives 250m away
from the proposed site, asked
what will happen to the water
supply she gets from her well.
“I’m pretty sure the quarry is
going to be deeper than 36m, so
what happens when our water is
contaminated? Do we just start
buying water or what?” she asked.
ECan consents planning manager
Phil Burge said “he wouldn’t
anticipate they would dig that
deep” but they will have to assess
the impact once they receive a
resource consent application.
But Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board chairman
Mike Mora said residents who
live near the quarries in Yaldhurst
are drinking bottled water due to
contaminated wells.
In a letter to the Templeton
Residents Association, Fulton
Hogan said it would opt for public
notification on its resource
consent application.
But a day later, when a
Weedons resident met with
Fulton Hogan, he was told they
hadn’t yet decided.
Selwyn District Council
environment services manager
Tim Harris said the final call

on if it is publicly notified lies
with the council.
“Something this scale is very
likely to go through some sort of
notified process irrespective of
whether they [Fulton Hogan] ask
for that to happen,” he said.
Mr Kilday is concerned no
one will monitor the conditions
placed on Fulton Hogan’s resource
consent.
But Mr Harris said if consent
is granted, there will be a range
conditions the district council
will oversee.
Fulton Hogan is planning on
submitting an application in May.

VEGETATION FIRES
Lincoln volunteer firefighters
attended five vegetation-related
fires in the area on Thursday.
Chief fire officer Jeremy Greenwood
said a combination of the
nor-west wind and electricity
lines touching vegetation were
the main causes for the fires.
Leeston, Southbridge, Dunsandel
and Rolleston brigades assisted
with the fires. Mr Greenwood
said mainly hedges and
toi tois on Clarks Rd caught fire.
On the same day, the brigade
also assisted in containing a fire
which destroyed a commercial
building on Weedons Ross Rd,
near Rolleston, and a major fire
which broke out in West Melton.
Homes were evacuated and two
people were taken to hospital.
HOUSE DAMAGED IN FIRE
Part of a roof and wall were damaged
after a fire broke out in an
Annat house last week. Sheffield,
Darfield and Springfield fire
services were called to the fire at
2.17pm on Tuesday. The fire was
at a residential home on Tramway
Rd. Sheffield Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief fire officer Neville
Croy said while there was smoke
and water damage the fire was
contained to one room.

Liquorland gets go-ahead at Lincoln
•From page 1
Mr Lawn said while the majority
of objections received were
short on detail there were some
well thought out and the panel
would have welcomed hearing
these in person.
“Objectors who do not attend
the hearing in support of their
objections means that their
objections carry little weight,” he
said.
Mr Paterson said he did not
attend the hearing because its
students are not usually going to
be in the bottle’s store’s area and
thought a written submission was
substantial.
“We are always disappointed
when there is another (liquor)
outlet coming into town,” he
said.
Mr Paterson said there may
have been a low attendance
because people are unsure if their
submission will mean anything.
“Plenty of them get objected to
but it doesn’t seem to make much
difference,” he said.
A Lincoln University spokeswoman
said it did not attend the
hearing because while it made
a submission it did not directly
oppose the application.
However, district council documents
list the university as an
objector.
Police, the district’s alcohol
licensing inspector Helene Faass
and the medical officer of health
Paula Williams did not oppose
the application.
STJP director Sacha Fougere
gave evidence at the hearing,
outlining her more than 10 years
experience in the industry. She
said there is substantial growth
in the area that can support a
further off-licence without increasing
harm.
Mr Lawn said the bottle store
was allowed to go ahead based
on there being no evidence
brought before the hearing panel
that there was alcohol abuse
problems in the area.
“Police did not adduce any relevant
crime data. It can therefore
be concluded that there is very
little alcohol-related harm in the
area,” he said.
Conditions include the liquor
store will run from Monday to
Sunday, 9am-9pm, the whole
premises will be supervised
and there will be no external
advertising of alcohol products
on the outside of the building –
or on advertising boards outside
the premises.

Springfield church repairs needed
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ONE OF Springfield’s oldest
buildings is in need of repairs.
The St Peter’s Community
Church committee is calling
for the Springfield community
to support its bid to repaint the
roof and undertake repairs to the
woodwork on the exterior.
Originally built in 1885, the
church’s congregation is planning
to run various fundraising
ventures to preserve the building.
The committee’s chairman
Graeme Dawson said it is a
“beautiful little church” and not
a lot of money has been spent on
it in the last 20 to 30 years.
He said the repaint of the
church’s roof is expected to
start at the end of February
while a time line for the exterior
of the building is yet to be established.
“The building is not going to
fall down – that is overstating it
but it does need maintenance so
it doesn’t fall down,” Mr Dawson
said.
Work on the exterior includes
replacing rotten weatherboards,
the window sills and the surrounds
of the window.
“It is still 100 per cent usable
at this stage . . . but it is just if we
don’t start it may get to the stage
where things are going downhill
SPECIAL: The St Peter’s Community Church in Springfield is in need of repairs.
pretty quickly,” Mr Dawson said.
While the interior of the
church was damaged in the
earthquake, repairs were covered
by insurance.
Mr Dawson said the costs of
the repairs are yet to be confirmed.
Venerable Susan Baldwin said
the church is the spiritual centre
of the community’s heart.
“It is a place where people look
for spiritual moments – weddings,
funerals or baptism,” she
said.
She said because of the growth
in Springfield, the church will be
moving to having two services
a month – on both the first and
third Sunday of the month.
Springfield is expected to reach
a population of 527 by 2025.

Mr Dawson said because of
the age and type of the building,
the committee is getting several
inquiries for weddings which
could be the future of the
church.

Maddie
released
from
hospital
•From page 1
They flew from Christchurch
to Auckland early the
following day and Maddie
underwent the initial
operation and then a second
operation to reposition the
kidney hours later at Starship
Children’s Health.
Maddie received a kidney
transplant from her father
Adam Collins five years ago
but her body rejected it. With
only a two per cent chance, the
family did not expect to find
another kidney match in New
Zealand.
They were planning a trip
to The John Hopkins Hospital
in Baltimore, United States,
which had been looking at
new kinds of transplants, to
find a match.
Mrs Manson-Collins said
Maddie will have more surgery
in two weeks and then “it’s
all about when she’s stable
enough to go home.”

Hororata has a lot to offer
Hororata
Community
Trust
executive
officer Cindy
Driscoll writes
about the
exciting
line-up of
events planned in Hororata
this year
COMMUNITY spirit is core
to New Zealand’s rural culture
and I’m proud to say it is alive
and well in Hororata and its
surrounding communities.
As Hororata Community
Trust executive officer, I’m
continually overwhelmed by the
generosity and support that I see
in our community.
It is through the dedication
and hard work of so many
volunteers who are passionate
about seeing our communities
continue to grow and flourish,
that the trust can achieve so
much.
Last year was a big one for the
trust. Events started with a free
Scottish concert in the Hororata
Hall and then the Heritage
Open Day.
We attended the South Island
Agricultural Field Days and
The Star Home and Leisure
STAMINA: The Hororata Highland Games will return in
November complete with the popular Tug O’ War competition.
PHOTO: MURRAY IRWIN
Show to promote all that our
district has to offer.
The ceilidh event saw the
Hororata Hall once again in full
swing to an array of Scottish
tunes.
Among all of this, Go
Hororata was formed. The
trust is excited to be part of this
driven and motivated group.
In August, the trust funded a
feasibility study on the
concept of a new community
centre.
This saw Go Hororata present
a proposal to the district council
for a new community centre on
the Hororata Domain.
Then of course in November,
the Hororata Highland Games
was again a huge success with
11,000 enjoying this amazing
event.
And 2018 is looking just as
exciting. On March 11, the trust
will host the ‘heritage of a rural
water scheme’ bus tour.
On this tour, people will learn
about the transition from open
water races to the efficiency
of piped water. Tickets are
available now for this event.
Then on April 28, the
Hororata Night Glow will take
place in the wonderful Hororata
Domain.
This will be a spectacular
event with hot air balloons
firing up the night sky and
‘glowing’ in unison to music.
Surrounding the Night Glow
will be an autumn festival which
promotes local businesses and
community groups.
The trust will continue to
work as part of the Go Hororata
group on the new community
centre and other projects.
To find out more, make
sure you visit www.hororata.
org.nz and follow the trust on
Facebook. I am looking forward
to seeing what we can all achieve
together in 2018.
A reader responds to an
article about the potential
chlorination of water
supplies across the district
Rebecca Henderson – This
topic makes me so angry. I could
go on and on how chlorine is
so dangerous for our health. I
have lived in Springfield for 12
years where the water is heavily
chlorinated. I fought black and
blue with the district council to
sort out a filtration system for the
water when my son was a baby
(10 years ago) as he was suffering
from severe eczema and putting
him in a bath of chlorinated water
was like walking on broken glass
for him. The neighbours would
hear his screams three blocks
away.
I spend $20 per week on bottled
water on a solo parent. Why
would you put chemicals in your
body when it is not necessary and
filtration systems can be put in
place?

SELWYN TIMES
History of the district: Homebush
Due to strong public interest after the Rolleston 150 th
celebrations in 2015, Selwyn District councillor Jeff
Bland and Wayne Stack, a historian who also works
for the district council, recognised that continuing to
promote local history would have long-term social
and economic benefits within the district. Although
both hail from the West Coast, they have previously
served as policemen in the Selwyn District and have
gained an affinity with its people and heritage. Mr
Bland currently holds the arts and heritage portfolio
within the district council. One initiative taken by the
pair, with support from Selwyn Times, is to provide a
series of monthly features focusing on various historic
places and people who have stories that add value
to the district’s heritage. The first feature relates to
early industry in the area. Anyone with suggestions for
future features can contact Wayne on 021 119 9107
THE SELWYN District is rich
in human history, dating back
to the migration of Maori and
colonial settlement, through to
the present day.
With the recent rapid growth
within the district resulting in
increased urban and industrial
development and an influx of
permanent residents, many
coming from overseas, there is
now a greater need to identify
and promote features of historic
significance before they are lost.
Promoting an understanding
of our local history and how the
district has developed over the
years will help strengthen a sense
of identity and belonging within
communities.
The Homebush Brick,
Pipe and Terra-Cotta
Works, Glentunnel
Since the time of colonial
settlement the area that the
Selwyn District now covers was
primarily developed through an

agricultural economy. However,
there was also opportunity
for industry to thrive through
investment from prominent
local landholders and through
the extraction of natural
resources within the area. In the
late 1900s, the prime example
of this was the establishment
of the Homebush Brick, Pipe
and Terra-Cotta Works at
Glentunnel, which played an
important role in the overall
development of Canterbury and
especially Christchurch.
Homebush Station, west of
Darfield, was established by
William and John Deans in 1851.
After emigrating from Scotland
in 1843, the brothers were
some of the earliest European
settlers in Canterbury and had
originally farmed a large holding
at Riccarton on the current site
of Riccarton House and Bush.
When the Canterbury Association
subsequently planned the
settlement of Christchurch, the
Deans’ brothers exchanged some
of their land at Riccarton for
the 33,000 acre (13354ha) run
in the Malvern Hills. Originally
the domestic and out buildings
on the property were built using
red bricks that were first made
from kiln-firing on site and later
from the family-owned local
brickworks.
The Homebush Brick and Tile
Works was first established at
Glentunnel by John Deans in
1870. There was an abundance
of suitable clay in the area and
the coal used for manufacturing
was sourced from the Homebush
Colliery (which Deans also
owned) located in the hills on
the north side of the Glentunnel
Valley.

Brick, Pipe and Terra-Cotta Works
This was about 3km from the
railway line that went through
Glentunnel. The clay and coal
was brought from the surrounding
hills by railway wagons to the
Brick and Tile Works situated in
the village, on the north side of
the branch line to Whitecliffs.
For about 16 years, production
at the works was confined to the
manufacture of bricks, but in
1886 this was extended to making
drain pipes for agricultural
and domestic purposes, followed
two years later by producing
pottery and terra-cotta goods.
Apart from providing bricks for
the now well-known historic
buildings at Homebush and for
numerous other stately homesteads
in the district, the prosperous
business also supplied the
growing domestic and industrial
building market in Christchurch,
where the company had
established a distribution depot
at 81 South Belt (now known as
Moorhouse Ave).
In 1903, the brick works was
described as “a commodious
brick building with an iron roof,
and contains three drying sheds,
two machine sheds, and engine
and boiler house, and a repairing
shop. It possesses two kilns

capable, respectively, of holding
16,000 and 24, 000 bricks, and
new machinery of a modern
make is being introduced. With
an abundance of buff, red and
fire clays of high-quality near at
hand, machinery of a most efficient
and up-to-date order, good
coal supplied by the Homebush
Colliery, and railway communications,
the Homebush Brick,
Pipe and Terra-Cotta Works are
in a particularly favourable position
to compete successfully with
other works in the colony. All the
classes of goods manufactured
are known for the fine finish and
durability, and find a ready sale
in the market.”
At this time, the factory
employed 15 men and had an
annual output of about £3,000 –
around $530,000 today.
The factory remained a
long-standing employer and
important contributor to the
local economy. By 1926 the
business had been purchased by
McSkimming & Sons Ltd, with
production continuing until
1983. The buildings were later
taken down and the site is now
a residential property. However,
clay brick making has remained
an important component of the
district’s economy for almost
150 years, with Canterbury Clay
Bricks, of Darfield, continuing to
produce quality bricks which are
supplied nationwide.
•Anyone interested in
knowing more of the history
of brick, tile and pottery
making within the district
should visit the Glentunnel
Museum on Phillip St,
Glentunnel, where
there is an impressive
collection of historical
photographs and items
from the factory on display.

Conquering injury and making the
Melissa Jebson
Darfield resident Melissa Jebson, 56, was awarded a
Queen’s Service Medal earlier this year. She spoke to
Georgia O’Connor-Harding about her passion for helping the
Malvern community and the life-changing car accident she
survived in 1993
You do a lot of work for the
community. Is there anything
coming up on the horizon?
This is probably my least busy
month. March is chaotic. I did
announcing last weekend for
the Canterbury Horse & Pony
Breeders Society Incorporated
show. I am judging or announcing
most weekends. I had two
meetings last month and about
seven community committees
have their first meeting in
February. In March, as well as
my committees I have also got
shows – I am the chairwoman of
the Central District of the Royal
Agricultural Society, and I have
been asked to judge at the Upper
Clutha A&P Show in Wanaka,
which is a two day show. I am
also announcing at the New
Zealand Horse of the Year show
in Hawke’s Bay in March.
What does your role in
announcing involve?
I might do some interviews;
I am on a roving mic. I might
interview some judges and find
out how the competitors are
feeling when they win.
Is it a fun job announcing?
You don’t want to be on the
mic all the time, you don’t want
to upset anybody, and you have
to be very politically correct. I
enjoy it at the A&P shows. We
breed sheep and cattle so I have
a bit of knowledge in that area. I
enjoy interviewing people who
have done well with their sheep
and cattle.
You are the secretary for
five township and reserve
committees in Malvern and one
in Ellesmere. Why are you so
passionate about helping out?
The rural sector is not dying,
but it is losing a bit of identity.
With people putting a bit into
their community plus the A&P
shows, they are keeping these
rural communities alive. I am in
the background and enjoy helping.
As secretary, I don’t put too
much input in – I just take down
what they are talking about.
Which committees are the
most interesting or have the
most going on?
Each township committee has
its own interests. Dunsandel has

built a wonderful new hall for
their community centre. It has
been great being part of that and
watching the community really
get behind the committee. The
community made it happen. In
Sheffield, you have a few challenges
with speed. A new Allied
Petroleum station has been put
in and there were a few hiccups
with that. It is working through
the little obstacles or the little
things in the township that need
ironing out. Kimberly Hall’s
roof is being upgraded. The
Glentunnel Community Centre
and the Tawera Memorial Hall
Community Centre committees
are working passionately to keep
their halls going, and the same
with the Sheffield Community
Hall, which is going through a
few problems with the structure
upgrade.
You received a Queen’s
Service Medal in the New Year
Honours. How did that
feel?
I was blown away. I do it
because I enjoy what I do really.
I do a lot at Darfield High School
– I am the rugby administrator
there and I am the chairwoman
of Creative New Zealand, Selwyn
District. Because I have been a
singer and I have represented
New Zealand, I enjoy the arts
and I am passionate about people
being able to access art, especially
in rural areas. It has improved
a lot – I think the way Creative
New Zealand has local people on
its committees is fantastic.
I didn’t know you were a
singer?
Yes, I was in the New Zealand
Youth Choir. I sing mainly now
at funerals and weddings. I enjoy
my singing. It is something that
helps me relax.
Do you have a favourite type
of music?
Classical, folk and stage
show musicals. I do enjoy some
of the pop genre happening at
the moment – some things more
than others.

community a better place to live
I have always enjoyed Shania
Twain, Tina Turner and Elton
John. I sang with Dame Kiri
Te Kanawa. I was in the New
Zealand Youth Choir and we
sang with her in a concert at
Wembley Stadium in front of
Prince Charles. One of my other
most memorable moments was
singing at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Absolutely amazing. We sang
unaccompanied and our sound
went right up to the top dome.
It just floated up and you could
still hear it. I play the organ
sometimes at St Ambrose in
Sheffield.
Tell me about the car accident
where you broke your neck?
In 1993 I was involved in a
car accident. My car tyre blew
out and I woke up in Burwood
Spinal Unit. I was kept in an
induced coma, and coming out
of the coma I was wondering if I
could use my legs. My husband
John and I were only six months
into our marriage so it was quite
a significant time in my life –
especially when the specialist
told me not to be surprised if I
didn’t conceive because my body
went through such trauma. I
am very lucky, I have had two
wonderful children. But I got
post-natal depression, and I have
to cope with the attributes of a

one that breaks when you are able to have kids, to be able to be

What was the sequence of
events with the accident?
Apparently – and I can’t
remember it because that is how
your brain heals and copes – the
car tyre blew out, so the car
swung to the left and hurtled the
fence and then rolled about three
times. If I hadn’t had my seat belt
on I would have been history.
You are extremely lucky.
It was interesting – when the
accident happened people were
digging potatoes in the next door
paddock and they thought it was
cardboard flying through the air.
Where did it happen?
Further up from the corner
of the Old West Coast Rd and
Waimakariri Gorge Rd in Waddington,
just out of Sheffield. I
was heading down to umpire
netball. I was the only senior
umpire and I never turned up. I
am usually quite reliable so they
knew something was wrong.
You are involved in so many
things now, including being
a national equestrian judge.
Where did your passion for
horses come from?
I started riding when I was
14 – I’d love to be able to ride
again but the accident put paid
to that. My neck hasn’t healed.
I can’t turn the full range, but I
can turn my head. I have to be
careful. I was told I shouldn’t
work with young stock in case
they bash their head into mine.
I have to be careful what I do.
That is why I moved into horse
judging and announcing. Horse
judging is wonderful, and I have
been very lucky to have been able
to judge all over New Zealand.
Did you grow up on a farm?
No I didn’t. My father was a
builder and we lived in Rangiora.
Where did your love of
agriculture come from?
When I finished my diploma
in teaching, I went back home to
Rangiora and didn’t really know
anybody, so I joined the New
Zealand Young Farmers club. I
got to meet people, and that is
how I got into netball umpiring.
The club provides an amazing
avenue for experiencing rural
activities, even if you haven’t
got a rural bent. I represented
New Zealand in the Japanese
Goodwill Mission in 1991, where
I was a guest of the Japanese
government. There were five
New Zealanders that went across
and we joined up with more than
300 Japanese people to share
our culture. There were about 15
other countries represented.

Brettkelly a win away from NZ Open
SPORTS
HOPEFUL: Dominic Brettkelly
is hoping to shoot a strong
round in Cromwell to qualify
for the New Zealand Open.
• By Gordon Findlater
HORORATA’S Dominic
Brettkelly is one step away from
a spot in the New Zealand Open
after victory at a qualifying event
in Christchurch last week.
Brettkelly, 18, shot a one-overpar
73 in windy conditions at the
Christchurch club, which proved
to be the best score in the oneround
tournament.
The amateur now advances to
the final stage of qualifying at
the Cromwell club on February
27. The left-hander advanced to
the same stage in 2017. However,
he feels his game has progressed
considerably over the past 12
months and is confident of being
in the hunt for a spot at the New
Zealand Open in Queenstown
from March 1-4.
“If you’re not under par, you
don’t stand a chance. I’ve played
the course a lot, so I feel pretty
comfortable around there but
it’s still a big step up,” said
Brettkelly.
“My ball-striking and iron play
has improved a lot. I’m hitting
more greens and my consistency
has improved as well.”
Another final qualifying
round event takes place on the
same day at Paraparaumu Beach.
The six leading scorers on a
pro-rata basis across both events
will move through to the final
field for the $1.2 million New
Zealand Open. The big purse
will once again attract a host of
international golfers looking to
qualify for the event. That will
raise the standard required by
the likes of Brettkelly, who is
looking for one of the final spots
in the field.
“Last year I played with an
Australian guy that had flown
over just for the qualifying and
he didn’t get in so he just went
straight home.”
Other qualifiers from the
Christchurch tournament
were Tom Wilson, Templeton,
Tom Hardy, Russley, Jordan
‘If you’re not under
par, you don’t stand
a chance’
– Dominic Brettkelly
Pruden, Bottle Lake, Joshua
Roche, Christchurch, and Peter
Brinsdon, Pegasus.
The Christchurch qualifiers
and 19 other first-round
qualifiers from around the
country will join exempt
amateurs and professionals who
miss out on direct entry at the
final qualifying round.
The 10 top amateurs on the
order of merit at the end of 2017
and the leading 50 players from
the New Zealand PGA order of
merit automatically go through
to final qualifying.
Brettkelly has had a strong
start to the year. In January, he
won the Canterbury stroke-play
title at Waitikiri.
In August, Brettkelly will
depart for the United States to
begin life as a student athlete at
division one college, Western
Kentucky University, in Bowling
Green.

Weedons near top of
the table after nail-biter
WEEDONS edged
Darfield-South Malvern
in a nail-biting final over,
winning the match with
four balls to spare in the
country premier one-day
competition.
Played at Weedons
Domain the home side
batted first, notching up
211, with wicketkeeperbatsman
Todd Inness
compiling a dominant 71
off 80 balls.
Michael Pauling set out
to anchor the chase, with
26 off 62 balls, as others
batted around him.
Devon Nightingale had
other ideas though, picking
up four crucial wickets
with a relentless barrage of
accurate bowling.
With seven runs needed
to win, Weedons snared
the last wicket, and the
points, with just four balls
left in the match.
The win puts Weedons
in second place, equal
with Sefton on 39pts with
six wins each from 11
played.
The top four is starting
to take shape after solid
wins for Sefton and
Cheviot on Saturday.
A crucial win at
the toss by home side
Cheviot helped set up a
commanding win over
Oxford-Rangiora.
After being sent in, the
combined side struggled
facing the young,
disciplined bowling attack
on a dampish wicket and
were all out for 83, with
just Dave Fulton showing
any resistance, stranded on
34 not out.
Oxford-Rangiora felt
they had a chance of an
upset when they had
Cheviot 6/3 in reply.
But Jack Harris came
out and smashed 32 in
quick time while George
Waddy steadied the ship
and guided the Magpies
home with a 25 not out
that earned him man of
the match honours.
Composed batting on a
difficult wicket and slow
outfield was key to Sefton
taking points over rivals
Southbrook.
The experienced pair of
Brent Fleming and Harley
James built the innings
before accelerating under
the tricky conditions to a
total of 170/5.
The ‘Brook looked to be
positive in reply but once
their openers were chipped
out, the innings declined
rapidly to be 55 for 7,
eventually staggering to be
all out for 103.
Tom Spall in just his
second match, claimed the
impressive figures of 3/15,
while Barry Cross was also
influential.
The Leeston-Southbridge
v Lincoln fixture was
rained off without a ball
being bowled.
Scoreboard:
Sefton 170/5 (B Fleming
59, H James 47, T Harrison
35) beat Southbrook 103
(T Spall 3/15, A Laffey 2/9,
Cross 2/24).
Weedons 211 (T
Inness 71, P Rugg 34, D
Nightingale 21; T Kars
4/47, C Warner 3/32) beat
Darfield-South Malvern
204 (A Collins 40, M
Pauling 26, S Carston
26, N Jenkins 22, D

Endless Summer
Fair to say our summer has been amazing and looks
set to continue for some time yet. it’s still well
worth taking advantage of the sale bargains
on offer to wear now or to put away for next
summer.
With record temperatures recorded it can
be difficult to know what to wear. it is a great
time to wear a skirt or dress which seem to be
the garments of choice in hot climates.
We have pictured a fab skirt which is casual
enough to wear for everyday but can be
dressed up for work or play. The denim colour
coordinates with almost everything else in
your wardrobe and the just below the knee
length pleases many. This Blackstone skirt
was $140 and is now $70. We have paired
it up with a versatile Pretty Basics white top
which is shorter at the front and has pretty
tuck pleat detail on the longer back ($99).
This ensemble looks great with Rollie rose
gold flat shoes now on sale for $132.
Another pretty and cool summer look is
shown here with the mint floral pleat
Random skirt. This is a strong look for
this summer and the skirt looks equally good
paired with sneakers for casual or worn with
heels for a dressy look (was $165 now $82.50).
The feminine and pretty navy top is a new arrival from
Augustine ($139). The minx navy heels tone beautifully with
the colours in the skirt and can take you anywhere, with a
fab little silver heel for comfort (now $122).
When the weather cools it pays to have a little
jacket on hand. We have pictured the bright and
stylish Zafina skyline jacket (was $169 now $84.50).
This cropped style looks perfect over dresses and
also with pants with a longer top underneath.
We have pictured the jacket with Vassalli pull
on jeans ($115) and a Charlo singlet ($119).
The funky circle necklace also works well
($59) and we have finished off this outfit
with the gorgeous and comfortable patent
leather navy mollini flats (now $179.90).
Another cool and floaty option for a hot
day is the Libertine Wild Poppy dress
in Navy spot. This style is ultra-flattering
around the middle with its cleverly
placed tuck detail (was $159.90
now $79.90).
Libertine is famous for their unique prints
and attention to detail. This powder blue
printed dress with off white overlay is both
comfortable and flattering and cool to wear.
The daisy print is fresh and feminine (was
$129.90 now a steal at $65). Wear with cute
flats or dress up with heels and you are ready
to head out the door.
All of the styles shown here are in store right
now at Viva La moda plus the new season’s
stock is starting to trickle in as well, so come
on in and get inspired. it’s a well known fact
that dressing well and looking great makes you
feel good too!
Your fence, your style!

Follow the journey of Canty water
A BUS tour has been organised
to show the journey of water
from Lake Coleridge through the
Malvern Foothills over the past
100 years.
The project is part of a Hororata
Community Trust heritage
project.
On the tour, people will
discover how the ingenuity and
engineering of pioneers who set
out to make a living on the land
in 1840 still influences the area
today.
The heritage of a rural water
scheme tour will be on March
11 and will take people through
spectacular high country scenery
onto private land.
“Water has always been a
controversial topic, without it we
would not be able to farm or live
on this land. This tour is about
showing the evolution of open
water races for farm and town
supply to the efficiency of piping
the water,” said organising committee
member Gavin King.
“It was really quite a feat how
the water races were built 100
years ago by hand; their ability to
get the fall just right so the water
flowed from the source at the
Dry Acheron to the end users is
impressive, Mr King said.
On the tour people will be
taken behind the scenes onto private
land so they can really get
to see and understand how this
water scheme developed, he said.
KNOWLEDGE: The heritage of a rural water scheme tour
committee at the Dry Acheron intake.
Starting at the Hororata Domain
the tour will go through
Glentunnel and up to Windwhistle
where the Snowdon Water
scheme originates.
Local guides will provide
information during the tour on
the historic water scheme and
farming operations.
The tour will take detours onto
private farms to see the historic
intake and siphon.
Lunch will be in the Coleridge
village with a tour of the historic
Coleridge Power Station.
A number of heritage properties
will be open on the day for
those who do not wish to do the
bus tour.
Properties open include Terrace
Station, Gunyah Estate,
Coton’s Cottage and Museum,
Glentunnel Museum. Properties
will charge an entry fee at their
gate.
The event will take place on
March 11, departing the Hororata
Domain at 9.30am returning
4.30pm.
Tickets are $450 per person,
lunch is included.
People need to pre-register, no
ticket sales on the day.
•Details can be found at
www.hororata.org.nz or
phone Karen Meares on
3186 959.
Perfect weather greeted athletes taking part in
Rolleston College’s athletics day. The event was
held on Monday.

Fire rages, homes at risk
SPRUCE UP:
The Arthur’s
Pass National
Park Visitor
Centre will
undergo
earthquake
strengthening
this year.
Quake repairs planned
for Arthur’s Pass centre
SIGNIFICANT earthquake
strengthening is set to be
undertaken on the Arthur’s Pass
National Park Visitor Centre.
The Department of
Conservation will complete the
strengthening this year.
Arthur’s Pass DOC senior
ranger Chris Stewart said a
seismic engineering survey in
2013 identified weakness in four
internal structural walls of the
building.
“As a precautionary measure,
these four walls were isolated,
reducing our visitor information
areas by about 40 per cent,” he
said.
Mr Stewart said DOC is
looking forward to being able to
provide improved conservation
and recreation information for
up to 120,000 visitors a year.
“The display area has not been
upgraded since 1992, so the team
is also keen to modernise how we
tell the stories of the
area’s spectacular natural
environment and history as well,”
he said.
The detailed design stage is
expected to be completed by mid-
April.
After the completion of the
design stage there, will be a three
to four month procurement
process with construction set to
start in September.
The plan is to open the new
centre early next year.
The building will be closed
during the refurbishment, and a
temporary visitor centre will be
set up nearby.
The draft concept designs are
available for the public to view
at the visitor centre or at DOC’s
Rangiora office.

Pollution check up
Who do you
call about dirty
waterways?
ENVIRONMENT: Waterwatch
Education Trust educator Errol
Wood with Lincoln children.
RESIDENTS concerned their
local river, stream or pond may
be polluted are urged to contact
the Waterwatch Education
Trust.
For more than 20 years,
Waterwatch has operated as an
outreach programme of Lincoln
University for school pupils and
students in years 7-13, and for
communities in Canterbury.
The programme takes groups
to their local waterway to assess
its condition with respect to
aquatic life, and determine the
chemical, physical and biological
status of the water.
The programme has received
significant annual funding
for many years from the Rata
Foundation.
This funding, plus the support
of Lincoln University, has enabled
Waterwatch to be delivered
at no charge to schools and
community groups.
Recently, following changes at
Lincoln University, Waterwatch
has become a charitable trust.
Waterwatch trustee Sue Jarvis
said the organisation is desperately
searching for a lockable
shed or old double garage to
store a vehicle and equipment.
She said the garage or shed
could be located on a rural
property around the Lincoln or
Prebbleton area.
The organisation operates
with up to six kits of equipment,
worth about $6000 each.
The kits provide nets, waders,
gumboots, buckets, specimen
trays and identification charts
that are used to catch and identify
aquatic macro-invertebrates,
which can be used to assess the
health of the stream.
Most of the excursions
are conducted for
school science, biology
and geography classes,
but there has recently
been increased uptake
from agriculture and
horticulture teachers too.
The organisation can
work with schools to
incorporate waterway
research into their NCEA
assessment tasks at all
levels.
The organisation
also attend events
organised by community
or farmer groups to
introduce them to water
monitoring techniques
and how we might
help them to investigate their
waterways. It is currently
assisting a rural group near
Kaiapoi to regularly monitor
their local stream.

Interested in heritage items and
protected trees in our district?
Come along to our upcoming drop-in sessions and talk to one of
our staff about the Selwyn District Plan Review and its implications
for you.
You can also talk to our staff about current protected trees and
heritage items, such as heritage buildings, places and monuments,
and how you can have a say on additional heritage items to be
included in the new District Plan.
Four drop-in sessions will be held in the following locations (all
sessions run from 3.30–6.30pm):
A new timber bridge in the Lincoln Esplanade Reserve will soon be dropped onto Liffey Stream.
This will provide a new pedestrian link between Moffat Drive and Ryelands Drive.
The three-year staged project began last year with the construction of the pedestrian link adjacent
to the former country club, which is presently the Lincoln Primary School Junior satellite campus.
The timber bridge and associated pathway links are the second stage of works to be undertaken.
Hunter Civil project management and construction have built the timber bridge offsite, and expect
to crane the three sections of the 32m bridge onto four central piles in about three weeks’ time.
Works are scheduled to be finished by late March 2018.
Council Land Development Project Manager Phil Millar says the Lincoln Community Committee
have been very supportive of increasing the accessibility and linkages through the Esplanade
Reserve, and that the additional linkages will have huge recreational benefits for the community.
“It’s been fantastic for the Council to work closely with the Community Committee on this project.
“The bridge will increase connectivity between the two sides of Liffey Stream and enable great
views up and down Esplanade Reserve,” he says.
Cemeteries clean up
New Lincoln bridge
set to drop in
The Council aims to keep the district’s cemeteries in a condition where all visitors can have a respectful
and peaceful place to remember their loved ones.
We’re currently contacting families with burial plots in Selwyn district cemeteries that do not comply
with the Cemetery Bylaw due to the placement of adornments. We’re asking that these families remove
any adornments placed outside of grave surrounds or on grassed areas in front of head stones so that
the graves comply.
Items or adornments placed on the grave beam are fine and do not need to be removed.
Examples of items found outside grave surrounds and on grassed areas include fairy lights, candy
canes, extra soil, planted flowers, rocks, flower receptacles, cans and bottles of alcohol which can
result in broken glass. These items are a hazard for maintenance contractors and other cemetery users.
We began this clean-up process at Prebbleton Cemetery and we’re now working on Shands Road
Cemetery. Families that receive a letter from us have a month from the date of the letter to remove or
shift items from outside grave surrounds or grassed area.
If families haven’t had a chance to remove or shift items within the time frame, Council contractors will
remove and safely store the items for one month from the date of being removed from the grave site.
Family members can contact us and organise to pick them up at a time which suits them.
We fully appreciate the grief involved in the loss of a loved one. We are working to maintain the
cemeteries in a way that is respectful for all those visiting the cemeteries.
We would like to thank the families that we have contacted so far for their understanding and
cooperation during this process.

Progress on Council projects
Council is busy working on a number of building projects for
the Selwyn community. Read about the progress of some of the
major projects.
West Melton Community Centre
This project is progressing on schedule and is expected to be
completed in November 2018. The floor pad has been poured and
currently framing is being erected. The existing hall is still operating
and available to the community. It will be demolished in the final
quarter of this year to allow landscaping and car parking for the
new facility to be completed. The new facility features meeting and
function space, an indoor sports court, space for playcentre, scouts
and other community groups, changing and toilet facilities.
Tai Tapu Community Centre
Located on Rhodes Park this facility has been designed as a
combined sports and community centre. It features three separate
function spaces (that can be used together if required) that will allow
sports and community functions to be held at the same time. It also
features meeting space, good quality kitchen and bar facilities, a
large outside covered terrace and new changing room and toilet
facilities for the park. The changing rooms are nearly complete and
the roof is currently going on the Community Centre building. This
project is planned to be completed by June this year.
Springston and Ladbrooks Community Halls
Both of these halls required repairs and strengthening work as a
result of earthquake damage. Work has now been completed on
both halls and they have been brought up to standard with regard to
modern building code requirements.
Foster Park Playground
This facility opened over the Christmas period and has proven
to be exceptionally popular. Some completion work involving the
installation of junior play equipment and completion of landscaping
is planned for late March. This may involve a short closure of the
facility to enable this work to be completed.
ON THE
ROADS
On the roads this week
Stabilised seal repairs will be occurring on Hororata Road and Leaches Road. Island
repair and drainage works will occur on Othello Drive. A road reconstruction will be
carried out on Southbridge Leeston Road. Reseals will be carried out on Knights
Road, Dawsons Road and Curraghs Road. Drainage repairs will be occur on
Waimakariri Gorge Road. Please stop on request at these sites.
An intersection upgrade including traffic lights, cycle lanes and footpaths (both
separate and shared), as well as storm water work and road resurfacing will be carried out at the
Masefield Drive/Rolleston Drive intersection in Rolleston.
Footpath reconstructions will be carried out on Cathcart Crescent. This footpath will be closed during
these works.

PEST: Whitefly
adults, pupae
and larvae.
Whitefly
Trialeurodes
vaporariorum
is a danger to
many plants.
Significant greenhouse pest
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects
and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new species
found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things around us
THE MOST significant
greenhouse pest in New Zealand
is the whitefly Trialeurodes
vaporariorum.
The cosmopolitan species is
also a pest of outdoor plants
including pumpkin, cucumbers,
zucchini, tomatoes, potatoes,
peppers, beans and begonias, to
name a few.
The adults are 1.5mm long
with waxy white wings and yellow
bodies.
Eggs are yellow and laid singly,
usually on the underside of leaves.
These hatch into oval shaped,
creamy-to-yellow coloured
nymphs.
These and adults suck the sap
from the their hosts and produce
honeydew in a similar way to
aphids.
They can produce large
populations that fly off leaves
in clouds of whitefly when disturbed
and can severely reduce
plant vigor.
A whitefly parasite from
Britain and the Netherlands was
introduced in the 1930s and can
successfully control whitefly in
greenhouses, but requires careful
management.
The parasites, Encarsia formosa,
are approximately 0.6mm
long and have a black thorax and
bright yellow abdomen.
The parasites can lay 50-100
eggs in pupal and older larval
stages of the whitefly.
These can be bought as a commercial
product called Enforce.

Milk processor welcomes new
member of senior leadership team
Synlait is adding a new member to its
senior leadership team on April 1, when Dr
Suzan Horst takes up the role of director of
quality, regulatory and laboratory services.
Managing director and CEO John Penno
says Dr Horst is a leading authority in the
global dairy industry and has much to offer
Synlait.
“Suzan’s executive experience with
large multinational dairy companies
complements the breadth of leadership and
commercial capability we already have in
our senior team,” Mr Penno says.
“Our organisation will be in an even
stronger position as a result of Suzan’s
expertise, which is defined by her extensive
oversight of food safety in infant formula
and fresh consumer dairy products.
“Suzan’s role is significant and carries
considerable responsibility across our value
chain,” he says.
“Having the right food safety systems and
risk management in place throughout the
business is critical.
“Not only do we repeatedly test all
facilities, raw materials and finished
products, but we also have a full quality
assurance and traceability programme for
everything we produce.”
Synlait’s quality testing laboratory, which
was commissioned in 2015 and consists of
Dr Suzan Horst, Director
of Quality, Regulatory and
Laboratory Services
chemistry and microbiology laboratories,
carries out almost 200,000 tests a year.
“Our on-site laboratory gives us
greater control and visibility around our
products, as well as the benefit of having
substantial technical competence within
the organisation,” Mr Penno says.
Synlait also plays a leading role in
providing market access for customers and
securing regulatory approval for products,
which means Dr Horst’s position will also
have an international regulatory focus.
“As we become a more diversified and
balanced business, Suzan will ensure we
continue to have the right capability in all
of these areas.”
“This underpins the integrity and
confidence in food safety we provide to not
just our customers, but their consumers as
well.”
Dr Horst says she feels “really honoured”
to join the Synlait team.
“The company has an impressive track
record over the last decade and has exciting
plans for the future.
“It’s great that sustaining the high
performance of quality, regulatory and
laboratory services is defined by the senior
team as a critical factor for the ongoing
success of the company, especially as our
portfolio becomes more diversified.
“I look forward to supporting the
company in building and maintaining solid
quality systems that result in safe products
and highly satisfied customers,” Dr Horst
says.
Dr Horst is currently director quality
affairs, business group EMEA (Europe,
the Middle East and Africa) for
FrieslandCampina. She has held other
senior roles since joining them in 2005,
including director corporate QA, crisis and
issue management and corporate quality
assurance manager.
Prior to joining FrieslandCampina, Dr
Horst was global food safety competence
manager for Nutreco B V and lectured
agricultural economics and food safety
before that.
Dr Horst holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural
Economics and a Bachelor of Science in
Animal Husbandry from the Wageningen
University and Research Centre in the
Netherlands, part of which involved study
at Massey University in New Zealand.
The company has
an impressive track
record over the last
decade and has
exciting plans for
the future.

Potential Chilean needle grass
control under consideration
New Zealand farming’s vulnerability to Chilean needle
grass may be reduced if an application to release a rust
fungus from Argentina wins approval.
Chilean needle grass is found at some
300 sites in New Zealand, covering around
4000 hectares. But research suggests up to
15 million hectares may be potentially at
risk.
Chilean needle grass is common in
Australia, where it has caused production
losses of up to 25 per cent in infested
pastures. It displaces other types of grass,
but is less palatable and nutritious to stock.
The grass also reduces the sale value of
stock. Its sharply pointed seeds bore into
the skins of grazing animals, damaging
the pelt and reducing carcass value. It can
also cause distressing wounds, sometimes
blinding lambs and injuring farm dogs.
Marlborough District Council has
applied to introduce the rust fungus on
behalf of a consortium of regional councils
and the Department of Conservation.
The fungus – Uromyces pencanus –
infects the leaves of Chilean needle grass
and competes with them for nutrients, with
debilitating effects. Its spores spread rapidly
on the wind.
A year-long study in Argentina found
the fungus did not spread to plants other
than the target needle grass. Other research
suggests there is no direct threat to nontarget
plants in New Zealand, so no native
or ornamental plants would be at risk.
This rust is unlike myrtle rust, which
infects a wide range of plant host species
within the Myrtaceae family. Myrtle rust
arrived accidentally in New Zealand,
whereas the introduction of U. pencanus
would be intentional for a defined purpose
– to control the invasive plant, Chilean
needle grass.
The Environmental Protection Authority
will consider the risks and benefits before
any decision is made to release the rust in
New Zealand.
Public submissions
on this application
opened on January 29,
2018 and will close on
March 13, 2018.

Gardening
gardening without guesswork
Question:
How do I know when it is time to dig up my potatoes? I don’t
want to over-water them and then they rot in the ground!
Depending on the soil type, potatoes
Answer: may be left in the ground and lifted as
needed once they have dried off their
tops (this applies mainly to main crop potatoes from late March
onwards). Some early potatoes may regrow if left in the ground
in the summer time. Often people will leave their potatoes in the
ground and only dig as needed.
They find that they seem to keep better this way. As long as the
crop has not been infected with any blight, you should find that it
doesn’t rot.
There are a couple of telling signs to indicate that it is time to stop
watering your potatoes. The potatoes will have large tops and have
finished flowering. The lower leaves will start to go yellow which
means that the growing cycle has reached maturity and the tops are dying off. This is the time to
stop watering. If you are wanting to use that area for new crops, then you would need to remove the
potatoes by the end of August. Additionally, if the ground is very heavy or prone to water logging then
you will want to lift the crop before the winter weather makes the soil too wet and cold.

Preparing the ground after potatoes
Once you have dug up your potatoes you will want to
prepare the ground for new planting. Add some organic
compost and some fertiliser to the soil to make the growing
environment ready for the next lot of crops. You can still
plant any brassicas, leeks and dwarf beans now.

Community Centre at Lady Wigram Retirement Village. The Club House

movie theatre and library. These will be offically opened by Wigram MP
the Hon Dr Megan Woods at 2.00pm on Saturday.
The development of the second stage of the Club House which will include a
swimming pool, spa and gymnasium is due for completion later in 2018 to make
Lady Wigram Retirement Village facilities second to none. Whether you’re looking for
a serviced apartment or a single story villa mixed with luxury resort style facilities,
you have an abundance of choice at Lady Wigram Retirement Village.
Open Day

Prestige Accommodation
and Fine Living
Established in 1985 the Golden Healthcare
Group is now one of New Zealand’s largest
privately owned healthcare business. We
recognise the changing nature of retirement
villages with the move towards established
safe and secure communities and the need
for onsite expanded facilities.
Buy With Confidence
Development by Golden Healthcare Group,
which is one of the largest privately owned
aged care company in New Zealand.
Comfortable Living
Villas are two bedrooms and have an
attached garage whilst apartments are a
combination of one and two bedrooms.
Easy Access
Access around the village is by roadways and
walkways, and it is close to Wigram Air Force
Museum and The Landing Shopping Centre.
“In our experience, many people are
choosing to move into accommodations such
as Lady Wigram because they recognise
the benefits of the ease of living and it
allows them greater freedom and more
social interaction”
