Auckland after her potentially

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.

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 THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 3 MARCH 2018 

COMMUNITY: 

About 500 

people 

gathered in 

the Templeton 

Community 

Centre last 

Monday to 

ask officials 

questions 

about a 

planned 

quarry in the 

area. 

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.

News 

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.

CANTERBURY SPORTS AWARDS 2018 

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. 

Proudly sponsored by

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?

FINAL WEEK! 

Sure, go ahead and put 

chlorine in the water if a 

filtration system won’t kill 

the nasties, but then put in 

a filter system after this to 

get rid of the chlorine 

. . . after all, district 

councillor Pat McEvedy 

said “the district council 

must protect people’s 

health”. 

A group of former 

Lincoln High School 

students have 

made their dream 

of producing hangiflavoured 

chips a 

reality with help from 

Heartland Potato 

Chips 

Nick King – Just a 

generic “meaty” taste 

like 2min beef noodles. 

Nothing vaguely hangilike 

or smokey about them. 

Dallas Churton 

– Didn’t like them, yuck. 

Would rather eat chicken 

chips, and I hate chicken 

chips. 

Amanda Holden – 

Good idea but didn’t like 

them. Love Heartland’s 

other flavours, they are the 

only chips we buy. 

Amanda White – 

Got a pack to try, yuck. 

CRUNCH: 

Courtney Jones, 

19, is one of eight 

former Lincoln 

High School 

students to come 

up with the idea of 

hangi-flavoured 

potato chips, 

which are now 

being sold in 

supermarkets 

nationwide. 

PHOTO: MARTIN 

HUNTER 

Cool idea though. 

Mark Smith – Tried 

them. Need a little more 

intensity. 

Julie Ngaia – What a 

clever girl. I’m addicted. 

Love them. 

Denise Petrie – We 

tried them on the weekend 

and they are yummy, well 

done. 

John Kramer – No 

thanks, I would rather have 

the real thing. 

Kieran Frazer – Loved 

them.

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.

settlement the area that the 

Selwyn District now covers was

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.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

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

reserve committees since she broke her neck in 1993.

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.

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 

hung. All your vital organs run involved with the community, 

to have such great friends, and 

to be involved with such great 

organisations. 

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,

Kim’s 

Fashion Quarterly 

from Kim Taylor —Viva La Moda 

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!

News 

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.

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.

SELWYN TIMES 

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.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

SELWYN TIMES 

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.
