THAT’S ONE heck of a lucky escape on
our front page today.
Two young guys managed to get out of
the wreck before it caught fire.
How they were able to escape from
their ute is remarkable. The photo shows
it upside down (it somersaulted after colliding with another
vehicle).
The family in the other vehicle were also lucky.
But the crash again underlines how we need to be careful on
the district’s roads.
Traffic volume has increased substantially but at the end of
the day it is the driver not the road which causes crashes.
And if you’re wondering, the ad at the bottom of page 1 is

Abbeyfield volunteers
call for council to write off loan
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE VOLUNTEERS behind
Selwyn’s first Abbeyfield social
housing complex are asking the
district council to write off its
loan to help reduce debt.
The much-awaited retirement
complex was officially opened
on Flannery
St, Leeston
recently – after
taking more
than nine years
to complete.
The district
council loaned
John Morten
Abbeyfield
Ellesmere
$400,000 to get the project off
the ground.
While ongoing fundraising
has enabled the volunteer committee
to repay $150,000 to the
district council – it is asking the
rest of the $250,000 is written off
as a loan.
As a result, a staff report will
be presented to the district
council and the funding will be
considered as part of the its Long
Term Plan 2018-2028 process.
In a deputation last week, trust
chairman Murray Stevens said
the grant will ensure the success

council to write off a loan to the complex.
of the project and signal to other
like-minded groups projects
such as Abbeyfield is practical
and achievable.
The volunteer committee’s
main concern was keeping the
rent for the 14 residents at a cost
of 80 per cent for their supersuperannuation.
The committee’s pool of
money will also go towards
paying a housekeeper, providing
provisions for the complex and
maintenance.
“We feel for the good of the
project we would like to reduce
the debt,” Mr Stevens said.
He said the repayment to the
district council was the only
debt outstanding.
Residents pay $364 a week and
is provided two cooked meals a
day and general support.
But the request to write off the
loan has had mixed reactions
from district councillors.
District councillor Mark
Alexander said while he was
not unsupportive of the project,
he needed to understand how
writing a loan off fits in with the
council’s district wide responsibilities.
“When the council makes a
loan it is not always helpful if the
recipients of the loan come back
ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 3 MARCH 2018
and say can you write it off?” he
said.
He said a lot of groups doing
good things often ask the district
council for loans.
Mr Alexander said if all the
groups asked for their loans to
be written off, it would be difficult
for the district council to
survive financially.
District councillor John
Morten said it is not the right
decision to give out money
“because groups come along and
make an emotional presentation
to council.”
“You decide you need to react
to that and give away money.
You just don’t work like that and
life is just not like that,” he said.
The project cost $2.6 million
and core funding was obtained
as grants from the Rata Foundation
and Housing New Zealand.
It was confirmed at the meeting,
if the Abbeyfield venture
was to fail it would become the
property of the district council.

ONLINE VOTING TRIAL
The district council is planning
to hold an online voting trial
as part of the 2019 elections. It
is waiting along with a dozen

the Government to approve the
plan. Mayor Sam Broughton said
the district council attempted
to be one of the councils to trial
online voting at the last elections.
But he said the Government was
not willing to support it and the
Department of Internal Affairs
was concerned about the security
of online voting.

Lincoln Fire Station celebrates
Many volunteer
firefighters have served
at the Lincoln Fire
Station over the last
five decades. Georgia
O’Connor-Harding caught
up with some of them
ahead of the building’s
50th anniversary
ONE OF the busiest fire brigades
in Selwyn has celebrated another
milestone.
The Lincoln Fire Station has
been serving the Lincoln Volunteer
Fire Brigade for 50 years
with its official anniversary on
Saturday.
The station was opened at
James St on February 17, 1968.
The building was given the
green-light by the Ellesmere
County Council and the cost of
construction was £6939.
The brigade was established in
1963 and recently celebrated its
50th jubilee at the Lincoln Event
Centre in October 2013.
Former firefighter Jack Bond,
who joined the brigade in about
1966, recalls the new station
making “a lot of difference” for
the firefighters when it was first
constructed.
The brigade was originally
stationed at a building known as
W.A Habgood’s hardware store.
Its use was offered to the brigade
by Pyne Gould Guinness Ltd
until April 1964. The owner, W.A
Habgood Ltd, then allowed the
brigade to continue occupying
the premises as a temporary fire
station until the new station was
built.
Said Mr Bond: “We didn’t have
a station to start with – we had a
shed. They allowed us to put our
appliance in and another shed
on the other side of the road was
where we stored all of our equipment,”
he said.
While Mr Bond, 87, said he
didn’t have a role in the construction
of the station, he was
involved in helping clear away
shrub vegetation and trees at
James St.
REMINISCE: Former
firefighter and life honorary
member Jack Bond was in
the Lincoln Volunteer Fire
Brigade when its station was
built 50 years ago.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
He said he had seen several
alterations to the building over
the years as well as changes within
the brigade. The alterations
included extending the kitchen
out the back of the building, and
workshops on the side of the
building were converted into
offices.
Mr Bond, who is a life honorary
member, left the brigade in
1987 after serving for nearly 20
years.
He said being in the fire
brigade wasn’t as “full-on” as it
is now – especially considering
how many motor vehicle accidents
and medical emergencies
firefighters now attend.
The brigade’s longest serving
firefighter, Stephen Paston, who
has worked out of the station
for 41 years, said the increase
in vehicle accidents was a key
reason the brigade had grown in
volunteer numbers.

“When I joined, there was only
about 18-20 members. Now we
are looking at about close to 40,”
he said.
But Mr Paston said in the
brigade’s early years, while there
probably were a lot of car accidents,
the difference was the
brigade didn’t have the rescue
equipment it has now.
Last year, the brigade was the
first in the country to get a new
appliance featuring the new Fire
and Emergency New Zealand
branding.
READY FOR ACTION:

fellow brigade
members outside
the station in 1971.
Behind them is
the Bedford OLB
appliance (left) and
the Dodge Kew on
loan from Lincoln
College.
The appliance was designed
to respond to vehicle crashes
and carries significant specialist
equipment as well as medical
supplies. Mr Paston said the
brigade has received four brand
new appliances in his time at the
station – including three Iveco
vehicles and a Hino.
The brigade has responded to
many major emergencies over
the years, including the Selwyn
Rd fire in 2013, the Canterbury
earthquakes and Port Hills fire.
Chief fire officer Jeremy Greenwood
said the station’s 50th was
a milestone worth celebrating.
He said the station was originally
built for a membership of
15-20, but alterations over the
years have kept it fit for purpose.
The brigade will celebrate the
anniversary with a barbecue at
the station on Saturday.

WIGRAM MP Megan Woods
and Minister of Conservation
Eugenie Sage are seeking
options from government
departments to help address
quarrying issues in Templeton

It comes after a meeting with
residents last week.
Dr Woods said she and Ms
Sage will be seeking advice on a
variety of options over the coming
week.
“Once we have received that
advice we will update the residents,”
she said.
This follows news that Fulton
Hogan will not be developing
another quarry in spite of
speculation, 115ha in size, on
Dawsons, Maddisons and Jones
Rds.
The firm has a licence to carry
out exploratory work on the city
council-owned land.
But the company has confirmed
the “nearby block of
land owned by the city council
does not form part of the
preparations for the Dawsons
Rd proposal and Fulton Hogan
has no plans to apply to put a
quarry there.”

Fulton Hogan already has

Dr Woods said it was a productive
meeting where she and
Ms Sage could listen first hand

Templeton and Weedons
residents have expressed their
concerns about the health risks,
water issues and the devaluing

in the past couple of months.
Fulton Hogan’s South Island

told Selwyn Times the company

which will enable residents and

Templeton Residents’ Association

limit review
set to start
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A REVIEW of speed limits outside
schools across Selwyn is set to get under
way.
The district council is planning to
review all schools in the first half of this
year – with it expected to be completed by
the end of June.
But district councillor Craig Watson
is concerned road safety issues
outside West Rolleston Primary
School cannot be stalled any
longer.
It comes as the district council
approved last week to keep speed
limits at 100km/h on several key
arterial routes in Selwyn.
These roads include Shands Rd
(from Selwyn Rd to Boundary
Rd), Springs Rd (from Hamptons
Rd to Ellesmere Junction Rd), and
Selwyn Rd (from Shands Rd to
Lincoln Rolleston Rd).
Lincoln Rolleston Rd (from
Branthwaite Drive to Selwyn Rd)
will also remain at 100km/h.
The changes were made after a
review of the speed limits began
in August.
The district council’s assets
manager Murray Washington said
the New Zealand Transport Agency
supported the reduction to 80km/h on
rural roads in general but arterial roads
should remain 100km/h.
At the district council’s December
meeting it was decided the speed limit
bylaw review would be partially re-opened
to re-look at the arterial roads.
It was also re-opened after Cr Watson
raised concerns that submissions were lost
because the district council’s email system
Craig Watson
Pat McEvedy
was not set up sufficiently.
He told Selwyn Times while those who
submitted through the district council’s
online process were fine, those who
emailed in their submissions were lost.
One of the submissions lost was from
West Rolleston Primary School – which
Cr Watson’s daughter attends.
He said he was uncomfortable work to
reduce safety issues outside the school will
be furthered delayed as a result.
“It is unfair to put them with
a bunch of other schools where
there is known safety issues.
“While I understand that (the
review) is going to happen later
this year, I am really uncomfortable
for the families . . . they didn’t
get the opportunity to be heard
and we aren’t mitigating the risk
as fast as we should be,” Cr Watson
said.
West Rolleston Primary
School is located on the corner of
Burnham School Rd and Dunns
Crossing Rd.
While the speed limit on Dunns
Crossing Rd is 50km/h, Burnham
School Rd is 100km/ph leading up
to the school.
“It hits 50km/ph at the point
of the school which isn’t good
enough,” Cr Watson said.
District councillor Pat McEvedy said reviewing
the speed limit outside the school
is a “no brainer” and it is important school
children are safe.

Group helping people in need
Readers respond to the
Selwyn Times’ article on a
major redevelopment of
Darfield’s Four Square
Ellesmere
Community
Care
chairwoman
June
McLachlan
writes about
the work a
group of volunteers in
Leeston do to help assist
people in need
Like every community,
Ellesmere has unique needs.
The most obvious being
isolation and an ageing
population.
Without a public bus service,
and often without friends or
family available to assist, many
of our older persons would
struggle to attend medical
appointments, jeopardising
their health.
This is where Ellesmere
Community Care comes into its
own.
Established nearly 25
years ago, ECC is a group of
volunteers based in Leeston,
which primarily exists to help
people in need in Ellesmere.
Invariably that need is for
transport to medical-related
appointments in and around
Christchurch, but increasingly,
they find themselves using
the skills and resources the
NEIGHBOURLY: Ellesmere Community Care chairwoman
June McLachlan (left) and vice-chairwoman Heather
Cochrane with the Ellesmere community vehicle. ​
volunteers bring to the group, to
meet other needs.
Besides driving, ECC
volunteers are involved with
home share, buddying at
Ellesmere College, family
assistance, mentoring, driver
training, the occasional working
bee and connecting individuals
with the specialist agencies that
work closely with ECC.
The Ellesmere Community
Vehicle Trust provides a vehicle
for ECC to use (ECC pays
mileage), and other generous
supporters of ECC are Ellesmere
Lions, Rata Foundation, COGS
and individual donors (clients
are encouraged to contribute
towards the cost of each drive).
In recent years Community
Energy Action buddied with
ECC to promote and install
subsidised insulation for lower
income families.
Currently ECC are working
with other Selwyn care groups
and the district council to
produce and maintain the new
“Everything Selwyn” website
which promotes the many
smaller communities and all the
attractions, events and services
that make Selwyn such a great
place to live in and visit.
The new Abbeyfield complex
in Leeston also helps meet the
needs of our ageing population,
with 14 residents now enjoying
companionship, affordable
living, healthy eating, a warm
home and their independence.
ECC is already enjoying the
convenience of working with
numerous clients at the one
address.
The ECC committee is heavily
reliant on the voluntary services
of retired people, with 15
regular drivers/volunteers.
The services ECC can offer the
community, are only limited by
the skills, time and energy of its
volunteers.
So it is hoped that some
younger persons may consider
connecting with the team and
sharing their skills or resources
with the community.
•If you are interested in
using ECC services, or
considering volunteering,
please phone ECC 324 4080
and speak with the duty
volunteer.
Bill Smith – What a pleasant
surprise to read about this new
development, but it is not before
time, unfortunately West Melton
beat Darfield to it. I sincerely
hope that Kelvin and Delwyn
think about future-proofing the
establishment and I would like to
think that Roger Davidson will
have this covered in the planning
stage – it is noted the inclusion of
generator plugs which are being
installed. I just hope that all avenues
are covered and no overspend
or time delay will affect the
completion of this new establishment.
I look forward to the grand
opening.
Linda Creed – Please put
the car park behind the building.
Prioritise access for pedestrians
and cyclists, and have an attractive
frontage over vehicles please,
most of us don’t need to drive
to the door. Add some shade
trees and well-tended landscaping
to blend with the streetscape
(so often neglected after the
initial build excitement is over).
Darfield is already looking ad
hoc and un-coordinated from the
main road. The parking and pedestrian
routes on the main road
are confusing. The cherry trees
and banners add some continuity.
Please work with that.

Complex enhances quality of life

Saphire Burbery – This absolutely
disgusting. And I hope

Just terrible.

long have they been commenting
how dangerous the door is
before the incident?
Selwyn MP Amy Adams
writes about the opening
of the Abbeyfield housing
complex in Ellesmere
RECENTLY I was asked to
officially open Abbeyfield
Ellesmere in Leeston.
This is the first Abbeyfield
residence to have been built in
Selwyn and I hope that it will be
followed by others.
For those readers who are
not familiar with the concept
of an Abbeyfield House, it is a
model of shared accommodation
specifically for people over the
age of 65.
Abbeyfield New Zealand is a
charity which aims to enhance
the quality of life for older
people by providing secure and
affordable housing.
Abbeyfield homes are already
well-established around New
Zealand in both the North and
South Islands, and there is one in
Hornby.
Abbeyfield houses are
designed to accommodate nine
to 14 residents, living in a flatting
type situation.
Residents have their own
rooms and share communal
living areas, giving them the
opportunity for companionship
but also the ability to maintain
their independence and dignity.
Amy Adams
Selwyn MP
OPEN: One of several units available to residents living at
Abbeyfield.
We know from surveys
and anecdotal evidence that
many seniors struggle with
loneliness and find managing
a large property on their own a
burden.
The residents of Abbeyfield
Ellesmere that I chatted to
mentioned that they valued the
opportunity to socialise with
others while still maintaining
their ability to come and go
independently.
Under the Abbeyfield
model, meals are prepared by a
housekeeper.
A number of residents also
indicated that having a fixed
weekly cost to cover all household
expenses without the chore of
buying groceries and cooking
meals or the worry of unexpected
maintenance or power bills was a
great relief to them.
I believe that as we live longer
and healthier lives, this model
of shared accommodation will
become more and more popular
for those in their later years.
Research into this area
has shown that older New
Zealanders living in shared
accommodation such as
Abbeyfield houses have far better
health outcomes than those
living on their own.
It is really important that
our older folk have the option
to remain in their own
communities near friends
and family rather than having
to move to bigger centres for
suitable accommodation in their
later years.
Abbeyfield Ellesmere is a
fantastic example of how the
community and voluntary
groups can develop and
implement housing solutions
that suit specific groups of
society.
Having purpose-built housing
solutions for our older citizens
not only helps to address issues
such as social isolation but it also
allows us to free up larger family
homes for younger families in
need of accommodation – a winwin
situation.

Rolleston
‘drown
him’ case:
Two
charged
• By Andrew King
A 15 and 16-year-old have been
charged with aggravated robbery
over the Rolleston ‘drown him’
case.
The 16-year-old appeared in
the Youth Court on February 13.
He was remanded without plea to
reappear next month. The 15-yearold
will appear today.
The alleged robbery took place
after a fireworks display on November
4.
The 15-year-old victim was allegedly
beaten and then dragged
to a water race where his head
was held under the water.
His assailants chanted “drown
him, drown him” during the
attack.
Police believe there were four
people in the group involved in
the incident, which started when
they allegedly tried to take the
victim’s cap.

GIFTED WRITER Colin
Patterson – who was recognised
with a top poetry prize at the
Christchurch Writers Festival –
has died in Leeston.
Mr Patterson died of a
suspected sudden heart
attack last week on Valentine’s
Day.
For years, he spent hours at a
time, sitting making up poems
and stories in his head while
sitting on the tractor at his farm
near Leeston.
His talent for writing remained
largely a hidden secret
until his family encouraged
him to enter the Christchurch
Writer’s Festival.
In 2016, Selwyn Times profiled
Mr Patterson. He was asked
about where his inspiration for
writing came from, his health
scare in 2007 and his love of
bagpipes.
Mr Patterson’s interest in poetry
began in the 1940s and 50s
and he began putting his own
work together in the 60s.
Hesaid when he was driving
up and down on his tractor, he
would memorise his poems and
would recite some of them at
family gatherings.
In 2006 he qualified for the
final 12 of the Christchurch
Writers Festival and described
winning the competition as a
“tremendous shock.”
He said the reason he had kept
his talent a secret for so long was
because he was “extremely shy”
and getting up in front of
a crowd was “very, very
daunting.”
Mr Patterson was diagnosed
with what was thought to be
pancreatic cancer and he began
writing and publishing his poems
on paper.
His book From Patterson’s
Heart was to be his memoir,
before he learnt he had been
wrongly diagnosed.
It was later found Mr Patterson
did not have cancer and the
tumour had been caused by his
own immune system attacking
his pancreas.
He taught the bagpipes and
played in the Ellesmere pipe
band from 1953.
Mr Patterson’s grandfather
was a trustee of the Ellesmere
Pipe Band when it was formed
in about 1920. His father was on
the committee and his brothers
learnt and went into the band
after it reformed after the war in
1946.

Heritage of Water Bus Tour promises to
be an informative and entertaining day
As part of the Hororata Community Trust heritage project a bus tour has been
organised that follows the journey of water from Lake Coleridge through the
Malvern Foothills over the past 100 years. 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.
Without the foresight of the pioneers in South Malvern 100 years ago to
establish a water scheme the development of this area would not have
happened. Water is the life blood of this district, not just for farming but for
all of the industries and rural settlements.
This tour will show the evolution of open water races for farm and town
supply to the efficiency of piping the water, while taking people onto private
farms with spectacular high country scenery.
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. Then to maintain the
scheme was a considerable effort. It just shows that in this area has always
been innovative with how water is sourced and used.
Most people take water for granted, they just turn on the tap but someone
has to put the water into the tap and to get supply to this rural district takes
massive network which has been developed over the past century. On this
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.
Date: Sunday 11th March 2018

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

The Boulevard, Rolleston’s first retirement village providing the full continuum of care.
Construction underway on
Rolleston’s new retirement village
Building has started on Rolleston’s
first retirement village to offer the full
continuum of care for the elderly.
“It’s been a long journey so we’re really
excited to be at this stage,” advises Karen
Harris, who with husband Dean, will own
and operate The Boulevard.
With over thirty years’ industry
experience, Karen and Dean are known for
providing exceptional service in village, rest
home and hospital level care.
Karen says she has been overwhelmed by
the number of people who have expressed
interest in The Boulevard, which will be
constructed in stages.
“I’m excited about this development,”
says Grant England whose company GE
Construction will be completing the build.
Grant will also be a shareholder in The
Boulevard.
The first five villas are due for completion
late August at which time work on the
stage two villas will also be progressing.
The Boulevard will have 59 two and three
bedroom villas, 40 one and two bedroom
apartments, 20 care suites, and 58 hospital
rest home and dementia beds, and a large
community lodge with dining and lounge
areas, meeting/small function room, bar
and café, beautician/therapy clinic, gym,
library, computer nook and outdoor
sheltered courtyard.
“People love The Boulevard’s
architectural flair and diversity, its spacious
garden and wide street layout giving it a
normal sub-division feel and real sense of
community,” adds Karen.
Expressions of interest are continuing
with a limited number of stage one and
two villas still available and some future
residents having put
their names down
for stage three. As
interest is high, an
application will need
to be completed to
secure an interest in
any villa when the
village is registered
later in March.
“There’s enormous
need for a village
of this kind in
Rolleston,” suggests
Grant. “Since
starting work, we’ve
had a number of
people stop and
ask how they can
secure a villa, which
is really great. I’ll be ensuring the build is to
a very high standard so the village is future
proofed going forward, while the different
villa designs provide a point of difference.”
Many people are delighted The Boulevard
will allow them to live closer to their
family in a safe, secure and worry-free
environment while having the opportunity
to socialise, make friends and enjoy
outings, with fuller rest home and hospital
care, which will be available in the near
future. Garden and external maintenance
like window cleaning, lawn mowing and
gardening will all be taken care of, along
with rates and insurance payments
ensuring a relaxed enjoyable life.
The Boulevard is at 200 Dunns Crossing
Road, a five minute drive from Rolleston’s
shopping centre and handy to Faringdon’s
South Point.
Grant from GE Construction working the digger on site.
Watch out for The Boulevard’s
Seminar early March. Presented
by a lawyer and statutory
supervisor, it will cover the
legal aspects of moving into a
retirement village and is open
to anyone in the community.
For information about this seminar or
The Boulevard, check out our website
www.boulevardvillage.co.nz or call
Karen harris on 027 373 9463.
A sales office will soon be on site with
opening hours posted on The Boulevard’s
website.
The first villas are due for completion late August.

Our People Amy Adams
From lamb roast gravy to vying for
Selwyn MP Amy
Adams is vying to
become National’s
next leader. Bridget
Rutherford spoke to
her about why, farm
life, and who she would
poach from Labour
Why did you decide to stand
for the leadership position?
It all came about really quickly.
I wanted Bill English to carry
on. He’s an extraordinary leader
and had done an amazing job
campaigning. I don’t mind
admitting I rang him up and
pretty much begged him to
stay on. But I respected his
decision. When he made his
announcement, I was at home in
bed sick, but I got myself up to
Wellington and started talking
to colleagues and a number of
people rang me up and said: ‘You
need to stand’. My only goal is I
want National to win the 2020
election. When we had John
Key and Bill English, there was
no question in my mind they
were the best choice. I want to
make sure caucus has a range of
options to choose from, so I’m
going to give it everything I’ve
got.
It sent strong message of
support having four other MPs
behind you at the announcement.
I think all the contenders will
have their support in caucus.
Those MPs said they wanted to
be out there with me, and I was
really touched by that.
Why and when did you get
into politics?
I got into politics in 2008. It
was an odd step in some ways
because I hadn’t been political.
I had been a party member for
a couple of years but I wasn’t a
regular. I had an amazing mum
who used to say: ‘If you’re not
happy with something, you
should try do something about
it’. I was frustrated with the
direction the country was going
under Helen Clark and Labour. I
had a young family, so you start
thinking a lot more about what
sort of country they were going
to grow up in and I wanted to
make New Zealand a place they
wanted to base themselves.
How different is it now being
in the opposition party?
I don’t have the responsibility
and the intensity of when I
was carrying six big portfolios.
You don’t have the big box of
papers arrive on Friday nights
that had to be read before going
into Cabinet. But I’m every bit
as busy, it’s just different. We’re
working really hard to hold the
Government to account, but
also work out how we’re going
to take the party into the next
election. As an opposition,
you’re not there to criticise the
Government’s job, although we
will hold them to account, but we
are here to talk to New Zealand
about the vision we have for this
country, and how we’re going to
get it done.
When you were younger
could you ever have imagined
yourself as a politician?
No, 100 per cent not. Mum
kept a baby book and wrote stuff
in it that I had said and done.
When I was four I said I was going
to be a concert violinist and
be in government. I love debating
and I loved arguing, I was a
pretty stroppy and opinionated
child.
How long were you a lawyer
for?
Sixteen years. I grew up in
Auckland. At 17, I packed up
my Honda Civic and drove to
Christchurch to go to law school.
I had a brief stint in Invercargill
when I first left law school, but
I’ve basically always been a
Cantabrian. I moved back to
Christchurch and was doing
a range of work. I mostly did
property and commercial law,
relationship, property Resource
Management Act work and trust
law. It was an interesting transition
because as a lawyer, you
apply the law, and at times I got
frustrated about how the law was
set up. So the chance to change it
was pretty appealing.
Do you have any siblings?
I have a sister. My parents split
and my father remarried so I
have a half-brother and halfsister
who I get on really well
with too.
It’s quite the contrast – Auckland
and a farm in Selwyn. Was
it hard to get used to?
I never saw myself marrying
a farmer. I’ve always been into
animals, I love dogs, I always
say a house is not a home until
there’s a dog in it. I rode horses
a lot when I was younger as well.
But you fall in love with who you
fall in love with. Don and I have

been married for 22 years and I
can’t imagine anything else now.
In Canterbury you have the best
of both worlds. We’ve moved off
the farm now into West Melton
we still farm it, but you can live
in the country and can be so
close to the city and the airport.
Where did you and Don
meet?
It was at the Firehouse on Colombo
St when I was at uni. I had
gone out with a friend after some
law exams, and Don had been in
town for a farming seminar. We
met up and started talking and
he called me up the next day.
What kind of farm do you
have?
It’s called Montford. It’s a
sheep and crop farm predominantly.
It’s the family farm Don’s
mother grew up on. Farming’s in
his blood, he’s the fifth generation
farmer in the area. It’s near
Aylesbury.

the National Party’s top job
You’ve got two kids don’t you?
Yes. My son Tom is 20. He’s
a student at Lincoln University.
Lucy is 18 and she has just moved
into the halls at Canterbury
University. Lucy is studying
commerce and law, and Tom is
studying agriculture science.
Do either of them want to get
into politics?
I think watching me do it has
probably put them off (laughs).
But they are so supportive of
me and proud of what I’ve
done. When Bill English made
his announcement, they were
both there and I talked to them
and said should I put my name
forward? And they said: ‘Go for
it, mum’.
What do you like to do in your
spare time?
To be honest during the year
if I’m not working, I’m usually
pretty exhausted and want to be
at home quietly with the family. I
do a lot of reading and I’ve been
watching some Netflix shows. I
love good food and nice wine. I
love tennis and watching sport
and walking Poppy our springer
spaniel.
What Netflix shows have you
been watching?
I’ve been watching the second
season of The Crown, which I
love. The Fall is great, and Ozark.
And I’ve been watching Stranger
Things, but I’m not sure how I feel
about it just yet.
Do you still help out on the
farm?
I don’t a lot anymore, on the
weekends I’m usually out at community
events. I did back in the
day. The first thing I had to learn
marrying a farmer was how to
make a good gravy for the lamb
roast and a good batch of scones
for the shearers.
Why did you move off the
farm?
It was a range of things. The
kids were both at school in town,
and the house was getting old,
and we saw a house we loved in
West Melton.
Were you impacted by the
September 4, 2010, earthquake?
Yes, we were 1.5km from the
epicentre. We were really lucky
the ground was really solid. Our
house was an old 1915 bungalow.
There was quite a bit of inside
damage. As many others will
know after an earthquake, you
never quite trust your house the
same way. I remember lying in
bed when the earthquake hit and
had a flash of ‘that’s it, the house
is going to collapse on us’.
What ministerial portfolios
have you held in Parliament?
I was minister of internal
affairs, communication and
IT, environment, justice,
courts, social investment, social
housing and Housing New
Zealand, and associate minister
of Canterbury earthquake
recovery and finance.
Do you have a favourite?
That’s like trying to make me
pick my favourite child (laughs).
Each had their own challenges.
Three things that stand out to
me are in the communications
and IT space, the roll-out of ultra
fast broadband and better cell
connection. In the environment
space I put in place New Zealand’s
first ever national water
quality standards, which I’m incredibly
proud of. And the work
around family violence. There
were other big issues like resolving
the David Bain case after 22
years. No matter what you do, it’s
always going to be wrong to some
people.
The Teina Pora case was a big
one too.
Yes, Teina Pora had a horrific
experience. I was really proud to
be able to make a public apology
and public statement that he was
innocent. And I know that meant
a lot to Mr Pora.
You like to speak your mind.
Has that got you into trouble?
Nothing big. When you’re a
politician, every word you say
is scrutinised. People say to me
I’m a bit blunt or aggressive or
stroppy. But I say what I think,
I don’t hold grudges, and I like
people to be straight with me.
In 2016 you were described
as the Government’s best performer
and a “quiet achiever.”
How did that feel?
It was totally surprising and I
was thrilled. I’m not a politician
that’s spent a lot of time seeking
out a public profile. It was really
nice that putting your head down
and doing the hard yards was
noticed.
What’s something people
wouldn’t know about you.
IMPORTANT ROLE: Amy
Adams has been in Parliament
since 2008. She spends most
weekends at events in the
district, such as the Hororata
Highland Games.
I have school certificate in
Indonesian. I can’t remember
much, but I have the ability to

Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Jonty Ward
KIRWEE’S Highfield Rd will
enter a time warp next month
with vintage machines arriving
from all over the South Island
to celebrate 20 years of the New
Zealand Vintage Machinery Club.
The Vintage Machinery and
Transport Show will be held on
the Brooker-family property
from March 23 to March 25.
Event co-ordinator Rae Horn
said it will host “a huge display of
all things vintage.”
“From the huge steam engines,
old tractors, cars, trucks and

its first test

ready for
next month’s
Vintage Rally
and Transport
Show in Kirwee. ​
Machines gear up for vintage show
down to the smallest old spanner,
it’ll be there,” she said.
Working displays and parades
of equipment will be a chance
for exhibitors to show off their
pride and joy, and for visitors to
appreciate the hard work that has
gone into the restorations.
A vintage ploughing competition
will be held in a paddock
adjacent to the event, where both
horse teams and vintage tractors
will be put through their paces.
Treasures from the days of
New Zealand’s early settlers will
be on show, including household
items that will bring back memories
for many.
Craft and food stalls, along
with children’s entertainment in
the form of mini golf and bouncy
castles, will ensure there is plenty
for the whole family.
For anyone want ing to exhibit
at this event, anything is welcome.
“You don’t need to be a member
of any club or organisation,
just bring what you have along,”
Mrs Horn said.
•Residents can register their
exhibit using the registration

TREK: Lincoln University Association president James

Residents Michael Bresler (right) welcome US exchange
student Connor Flechsig to the campus.
Walking journey for student
A UNITED States exchange
student has brought new
meaning the notion of walking
to school.
Connor Flechsig, of Colorado
State University, arrived in
Lincoln on Friday night after a
1470km tramp from Auckland
to Canterbury.
He was escorted onto campus
by an appreciative welcoming
committee, including Lincoln
University Students’ Association
president James Ranstead
and residential assistants from
Lincoln’s accommodation halls.
Mr Flechsig’s journey along
the Te Araroa Trail kicked off on
December 29 when he arrived
at Auckland Airport on a flight
from the US. A keen hiker, his
idea of “walking to school” came
about after he realised that the
trail was located near Auckland
Airport. Back home in
California, Mr Flechsig’s parents
tracked his movements on a
Google Earth Pro map.
Mr Flechsig says it was the
experience of a lifetime, as he
had the chance to meet many
friendly Kiwis along the way
and enjoy the “stunning scenic
trails” on both islands.
He’s hitting the ground running
as far as his studies are
concerned, his lectures started
yesterday.

Students cook up festival hamper idea
Field trip
fundraiser
at Selwyn
Sounds
TASTE: Lincoln High students
Angus Latham and Caelum
Betteridge with a small sample of

picnic hamper. ​Purchase a hamper

they play at the festival.
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FESTIVAL-GOERS heading to
Selwyn’s biggest music festival
next month can help a group of
students planning to travel to
Nepal.
Lincoln High School students
have teamed up with organisers
of Selwyn Sounds in a bid to
raise funds for their big expedition
overseas in December.
They are selling artisan-style
picnic hampers, which have been
put together by award-winning
chef Jo Rofe from Auckland.
Festival-goers who purchase
a picnic hamper will go in the
draw to win a meet and greet
with The Mockers after they play
at the day-long music festival in
Lincoln Domain on March 3.
More than 30 students from
years 10-12 and several teachers
will depart for Nepal as part of
a World Challenge expedition,
an organisation which provides
trips abroad for students.
The students plan to help the
communities of Nepal still recovering
from the 7.8-magnitude
quake which struck in April
2015. Each student will need to
raise about $8000 for the trip.
The Selwyn Sounds hampers
will comprise of various items
including Barrys Bay Canterbury
Red cheddar cheese and
She Universe’s sesame snap
chocolate. It will also feature the
hangi-flavoured chips designed
by a team of former Lincoln
High students and produced by
Heartland Potato Chips.
Assistant principal Kylie
Wissel said the school has received
amazing support from local
food and beverage suppliers.
She said businesses, including
She Universe, Aroha Drinks,
Heartland Potato Chips and
suppliers from Barrys Bay, were
willing to make costs as low as
possible to allow the students to
gain a good fundraising profit.
Selwyn Sounds promotor
David Parlane said the event is
down to its last 100 tickets, with
10,000 people expected to fill
the venue. As well as The Mockers,
the line up includes Jimmy
Barnes, Stellar, The Feelers, Mental
as Anything, The Narcs, The
Warratahs and The Lady Killers.
The hampers need to be
pre-ordered before Wednesday,
February 28. A hamper for two
people will cost $70, and one for
four people will cost $115.
Once pre-ordered, they can
be collected from the Lincoln
High tent at Selwyn Sounds on
the day. To buy a picnic hamper,

Backyard Critters
SELWYN TIMES
From garden weevils
to household moths
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
Weevils in the garden
I noticed recently that the
leaves of my capsicums in the
glasshouse were being munched
on by some unknown beast.
Closer inspection ensued
and the culprit was found – an
unknown weevil species.
I photographed it and loaded
it onto NatureWatchNZ and
within an hour or so an expert
had identified it as the fuller’s
rose weevil (naupactus cervinus).
This weevil is a pest species
worldwide, including in New
TROUBLE: The fuller’s rose weevil is a pest species worldwide, including in New Zealand. (Right) – To keep pesky
white-shouldered house moths out of your food items, ensure your containers are properly sealed. ​
Zealand, but is more often found
in the North Island.
Adults feed on many host
species including citrus,
strawberry, rhubarb, rose, potato,
beans, peach, zucchini and
capsicum.
Adults can reach 8.5mm long,
are flightless, and only females
are known.
This means reproduction
occurs without fertilisation, in a
process called parthenogenesis.
More than 200 yellow,
cylindrical, 1mm-long eggs are
laid in a mass on leaf litter, bark
crevices or in fruit.
Newly hatched larvae burrow
into the soil and feed on the
roots of grasses, clover and weed
species.
Moths in the pantry
Many moths attracted to an
outside light often have larval
hosts of plant species around
your backyard, but some moths
may come from within your
house.
The white-shouldered house
moth (endrosis sarcitrella)
larvae feed on old textiles, wool,
foodstuffs including cereal,
seeds, flour, wine corks and
vegetable refuse.
The larvae are white with a
brown head and reach 13mm in
length.
The moth is a cosmopolitan
species, found throughout New
Zealand.
Resting male and female
moths are 6 and 10mm long
respectively, and have a white
head and thorax.
Females lay 200 eggs at once
and take 62 to 235 days to reach
the moth stage, depending on
the temperature.
Adults do not feed, but survive
for about one month.
So, to keep these pesky moths
out of your food items, ensure
your containers are properly
sealed.

to an initiative by the club to
introduce youngsters to the

For the last three years, club
coach Denis Smith and a number

the programme.
“We’re a community club.
It’s available to everybody. It’s
great to see the smiles on some
of the faces. Bowls should
be fun and that’s what we’re
trying to achieve,” said Smith.
Around 20 pupils from the
school have started the year
with weekly sessions at the
club and it’s hoped they will
develop an interest in the
game after six weeks of tutoring.
Last year the club helped a

for the Koru Games. This year
it’s hoped even more pupils

Speed limit changes
reflect district growth
Speed limits will change on a number of roads across the district during the coming weeks, after a
review late last year and public consultation which largely supported the changes.
Changes include extending the 50 km/hr urban speed limits in several townships and extending or
introducing 80 km/hr limits on some rural roads in eastern Selwyn.
The changes reflect the growth in townships across Selwyn and forecast subdivision development
– as our growing population is bringing with it a significant increase in traffic volumes.
“These changes will help ensure that our roading network remains safe for everybody, and that
speed limits encourage safe driving,” says Assets Manager Murray Washington.
Townships where lower speed limits will be introduced or extended include Castle Hill, Leeston,
Lincoln, Prebbleton, Rolleston, the Rolleston industrial area, and West Melton.
An 80 km/hr limit is to be introduced on rural roads adjoining the Christchurch city boundary,
including Maddisons Road and extending out to Tai Tapu, Lincoln and Rolleston. The 80 km/hr
speed limit on rural roads in the Prebbleton area will also be extended out to Lincoln and Rolleston.
A change from the original proposal is that speed limits will remain at 100 km/hr on four key
arterial commuter routes. These include Shands Road (Selwyn Road to Boundary Road), Springs
Road (Hamptons Road to Ellesmere Junction Road), Selwyn Road (Shands Road to Lincoln
Rolleston Road), and Lincoln Rolleston Road (Branthwaite Drive to Selwyn Road).
A further review of the remaining speed limits across the district will be undertaken over the
next four months. This will focus on 70 km/hr speed limits and limits in urban areas not already
reviewed, as well as speed limits around schools.
The new speed limits are planned to be implemented over the next six weeks, with new signs in
place by 31 March.
Full details and maps are available at: www.selwyn.govt.nz/speedlimitreview
Stay alert for fire risks
Selwyn remains in a restricted fire season, meaning all fires need a permit. The exception to this is
stubble burning which Fire and Emergency New Zealand has made an approved activity.
There are some hot, dry days forecast for the next few weeks and there is potential for a fire to occur.
Recent rain has promoted new vegetation growth in some areas of the district which will likely dry out
as summer continues, creating a potential fire hazard.
Please take extreme care with any activities which could create sparks and start a fire. This includes
grinding, welding, chainsawing and even mowing lawns on stony ground. If you're mowing grass, do
it during cooler conditions in the evening or early in the morning. General care
should be taken with any motorised or power tools, ensuring that they are well
maintained and not left where hot exhausts or working parts come into contact
with dry vegetation.

Spotlight on heritage items –
Southbridge Hall
Southbridge Hall is listed as a heritage item in the Selwyn District
Plan. Built in 1930, it is a local landmark that carries a long
association with social and civic life. It replaced the township’s
original town hall which was built, along with the adjacent
Thompson Memorial Library, in 1873.
Designed by Christchurch architect Gordon Haines, the hall is
typical of the classical styling for civic buildings during the inter-war
period. It was built using ferro-concrete construction techniques by
Christchurch builder Frederick Musgrove, who also built St James’
Anglican church in Southbridge in 1934–35.
The site where the hall is situated is significant due to its
development and occupation since the 1870s.
As part of our District Plan Review we are reviewing the provisions
relating to heritage items, and looking at whether any other items
should be added.
Nominating a heritage item
If you know of a building or item you think should be listed as a
heritage item, you can nominate it for possible inclusion in the
proposed District Plan, which will be notified in 2020. Nominations
close at 5pm on Monday 5 March 2018.
Nomination does not automatically guarantee that an item will be
included in the proposed District Plan, but it will be given careful
consideration. For more information visit www.selwyndistrictplan.
co.nz/heritage-items
On the roads this week
Southbridge Hall
Stabilised seal repairs will be occurring on Hororata Road, Minchins
Road and Leaches Road.
A road reconstruction will be carried out at the Sleemans Road and
Leaches Road intersection. Reseals will be carried out on Leaches
Road, Tramway Road and Dalethorpe Road. Repairs to isolated areas
of slumped seal will be carried out on Tennyson Street. Digout repairs
will occur on Waimakariri Gorge Road. Maintenance metaling will
occur on Mitchells 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 is continuing at the Masefield Drive/Rolleston Drive
intersection in Rolleston. Removal of existing islands and vegetation
has been done and ducts installed for cables for the new layout.
Footpath reconstructions will be carried out in Prebbleton.
Work has begun by NZTA on SH73 at Cornishmans Rise, between
Arthur’s Pass and Lake Pearson involving installing more gabion
baskets, repairing the shoulder and replacing guardrail. This section
of highway is reasonably narrow, with tight curves, steep grades
and blind rises in some locations. Take care as you approach the
site and stick to the posted speed limit which will be 30km/h.
RATES REMINDER
By now ratepayers should have received their rates invoice for the third quarter of the 2017/18
rating year. This invoice covers the period from 1 January–31 March 2018, and the closing date

Shopping centre evolves
ADVERTORIAL
into unique destination
Well established as a focal shopping point for people
from across the region, Bush Inn Centre has been
developing extensively over the last few years.
The most recent developments have been the
extensive hospitality offerings, which have proved very
successful, says Development Manager for Ganson
Group Andy Bell.
The centre has evolved significantly and now has a very
different customer profile, he says.
“The centre, by virtue of its stronger, more
contemporary and varied offering, is now attracting a
younger, professional and family demographic and that
has given us the incentive to build on our very unique
offering with further development.”
The new developments will include the arrival of
Briscoes in early 2019.
“We are delighted that one of New Zealand’s top
retailers recognises the changes we have made and
wants to be part of our new, revitalised line-up,” Andy
says.
The other key aspect
of the Bush Inn
Centre’s redevelopment
programme will be
the establishment of
new international
foodmarket, The
Provedore, opening in
early 2019.
“The Provedore
demonstrates the further
evolution of the Bush Inn Centre into a very unique
shopping destination, entirely different from your
standard mall.”
Featuring an open-plan design, The Provedore is a
genuine alternative to supermarkets, Andy says, and
will incorporate a diverse range of providers from New
Zealand, Asia, India the Mediterranean, the Middle
East and Europe including, for example, an Asian
supermarket, European fromagerie and deli, halal,
seafood, fresh produce, organic and natural foods and
even a natural grain store.
“Everything you find in a supermarket and much,
much more.
“Many of the specialty spaces have already been leased
with retailers realising the benefits of our location and
what we are trying to achieve,” Andy says.
“Anyone who would be interested in taking space
should contact me by email on andy@bushinncentre.
co.nz.”
The Bush Inn Centre’s hugely diverse customer base
will find everything they want at The Provedore, Andy
says. He notes that people’s grocery shopping habits
have changed, and where previously people would load
up their trolley on a weekly shop, nowadays they are
much more likely to shop more frequently, sometimes
buying their requirements for dinner that night.
“The Provedore will suit those changing habits
perfectly and we are very excited about this new
offering.”
BUSH INN
PROVEDORE
INTERNATIONAL FOOD MARKET
Opening 2019!
Development at Bush Inn Centre continues!
Briscoes Homewares will open in early 2019.
The Provedore International Food Market will also
open in early 2019.
The Provedore is a genuine alternative to supermarkets - all the
basic supermarket supplies plus much more.
This international food market will have a range of local,
international and specialist providers from New Zealand, South East
Asia, India, The Mediterranean, The Middle East and Europe.
Natural and healthy foods, speciality liquors, farmers market
supplies, organic and gluten free.
Fromagerie, Delicatessen, Bakery, Butchery and Seafood.
JOIN “THE PROVEDORE”
We are leasing now and want Craft Beers, Boutique Wines,
Fruit and Vege, Organic products, Lollies, Pasta, Cheesecakes,
Fish and seafood, Spices, Asian Supplies, Coffee Roasters.
If you have an operation that will fit The Provedore contact us
now. Sites are available from 30sqm- 1000sqm.

opportunity. Mobile 021 449 256 or andy@bushinncentre.co.nz

Eastwick made life member
Canty Country
honours
Lincoln stalwart
• By Gordon Findlater
LINCOLN’S GAVIN Eastwick
has been made a life member of
the Canterbury Country Rugby
Sub Union after nearly 40 years
of service.
Mr Eastwick, 69, was made a
life member at last week’s annual
general meeting. Until last year,
he was the sub union’s president
and has held various roles over
the years within Canterbury
Country, the Ellesmere Sub Union
and Lincoln Rugby Football
Club.
“It was a special feeling because
I’ve been pretty committed
to country rugby for a long
number of years now,” said Mr
Eastwick.
He played senior rugby in
Christchurch and for Kirwee
before finishing his playing days
early due to back problems.
His first administration role
was with Kirwee as a committee
member. He then went on
to coach Ellesmere rep teams,
which marked the start of his
involvement with Canterbury
Country.
Mr Eastwick has plenty of
fond memories from his years
of involvement with Canterbury
Country.
One that sticks out for him
was the annual games between
Country and Metro when they
were played at Lancaster Park.

LONG SERVICE: Gavin

Sub Union.

“They were tremendous. We
had under-10 kids playing the
early games right through to the
senior game in the afternoon,”
said Mr Eastwick.
“The friendly nature of everyone
and the commitment that
people have to country rugby is
something that appeals to me
more than anything.”
Until recently, Mr Eastwick
had made a habit of keeping
himself busy, being the president
for both the Ellesmere and
Canterbury Country sub unions,
while also serving on the Canterbury
Rugby Football Union
board.
“There comes a time when you
have to take a break,” said Mr
Eastwick.
However, he says that when
the country rugby season starts
he will still put his supporter’s
hat on every Saturday and head
down to the sideline to cheer on
his home club Lincoln.
“If you’re a country rugby supporter
then usually you’re one
for life.”
11-year-old
Ellesmere
archer to
take on
Australians
• By Andrew King
ELLESMERE Archery Club’s
Ryley Griffiths has been selected
in the Archery New Zealand
transtasman team after only
three years in the sport.
The 11-year-old will shoot
in the cub men’s recurve at the
event ​in Morwell, Victoria, from
April 19-23.
He is the only Ellesmere club
member to make the team after
falling in love with the sport at a
‘have-a-go’ day in Southbridge.
Ryley will also compete in the
Australian youth nationals, also
in Morwell, from April 12-16.
His mother Jane said he is
excited to make the team and
compete overseas.
“Ryley loves the friendships he
has made already from all over
New Zealand and Australia, and
is fortunate to have a great team
of archers around him for support,”
she said.
He is coached by Petra Baker,
who trained under coach Kisik
Lee at the Olympic Training
Center in Chula Vista, united
States, and now teaches junior
archery in North Canterbury.

READY, SET, FLEX
Flex Fitness is set to open in just weeks and
the new gym promises to be an exercise
venue where everyone feels welcome –
whatever your fitness levels.
Whether you are at the start your fitness
journey or you’re a work out guru from way
back, the newest gym in Lincoln will be able
to cater to your every need.
Locals and owners Scott and Mel have set
up this gym, on the corner of Edward St and
Eastfield Drive, with the community in mind.
Both grew up in the area, so are aware of
the needs of local residents.
“What we want to provide is a 24-hour
gym that also offers great support and
encouragement to those who need it.
We want to see our members succeed
in reaching their goals and achieve great
things,” says Mel.
“We know there are lots of reasons for
coming to a gym – whether it is fitness,
strength, weight loss or just general
wellness. We also know that it is easier
for people to succeed when they feel
supported, have the right equipment and
programme, as well as an environment
where they feel welcome and included.”
The new gym promises to be state-of-the
art. Here you will find a range of options to
suit your exercise preferences.
“We’re bringing Life Fitness (cardio) and
hammer strength gear, group fitness classes
and personal trainers. There will be Netflix
to watch while you work out on the cardio
equipment. There will also be a smoothie
and coffee bar.”
There is also a beauty therapist on site who
will be offering half price services for the
first month.
Mel and Scott are also the parents of a
young family, including twin girls, so they
know the demands on time and pressures
family face. “We want to make sure people
are working out smartly so they make best
use of whatever time they have available to
exercise.”
If you sign up before the official open day
Mel and Scott will waive the joining fee
and you’ll also go in the draw to win 1 of 6
helicopter experiences with Independent
Helicopters. Those who become members
prior to opening are also able to join in
outdoor training sessions in Lincoln two
days a week.

Country cricket down to top four
IMPRESSIVE: Chris Warner was a key destroyer for Darfield-
South Malvern with four wickets in their loss to Cheviot.
Darfierld-South
Malvern out
of title race
DARFIELD-South Malvern have
been pipped in their hunt to
qualify for the top four section in
the premier Canterbury country
one-day cricket competition.
Playing at home against
Cheviot in the final round-robin
match, Darfield-South Malvern
dismissed the visitors for just
110. However, a fine bowling
display from Cheviot saw them
bowl Darfield-South Malvern out
for 85 and solidify a spot in the
top four.
It was no surprise bowlers
dominated the match with Darfield-South
Malvern and Cheviot
containing five of the top 10
wicket-takers in the competition.
Chris Warner was the star with
ball in hand for Darfield-South
Malvern. The right-arm medium-fast-bowler
took four wickets
for 16 runs from 6.2 overs. James
Ferris (2/25) was the first to get
among the wickets, dismissing
both Cheviot openers cheaply.
Ben Alexander was also
impressive with the ball, taking
three wickets for 28 runs from
nine overs.
Only three Darfield-South
Malvern players managed
double figures in their failed run
chase. Ferris scored 23 from 18
deliveries at the top of the order.
However, the rest of the top order
failed to fire. Batting at No 8,
Patrick Reardon put on 20 runs
to have his side in with a shot at
76/7 in the 26th over. When he
was dismissed by Canterbury
country representative spinner
Harry Fitzpatrick, the game was
all but over.
Defending champion Sefton
will go into the top four section
MISSED: Toby Kars attempts to take a tough, over-the-shoulder
running catch.
of the competition in top spot
after a comprehensive win over
Weedons. At Sefton, Weedons
were asked to bat and never got
on top of a steady attack, falling
all out for 130 in the 42nd over.
The Sefton Seals lost an early
wicked, but Tim Harrison and
Harley James then combined
in an outstanding partnership
finishing the match in 32 overs,
with nine wickets in hand.
Oxford-Rangiora continued
their solid form with a crucial
win over fellow cellar-dwellers
Lincoln.
After winning the toss,
Oxford-Rangiora were patient
with the bat and made their way
through to 160/7 off their allotted
45 overs.
Oxford started their bowling
effort with a bang, taking the
first three wickets for only four
runs.
Wickets fell continuously in
the early overs and a quick finish
look likely when Lincoln were
reduced to 36/9.
Mark Elliot did his best to
try and steady the ship with 47
not out, but was left stranded as
Lincoln were all out for 86.
Leeston-Southbridge were
forced to forfeit to Southbrook
with a number of players
unavailable due to an ill-timed
wedding and players with representative
duties.
The competition is now split
into a top four (Sefton, Weedons,
Leeston-Southbridge, Cheviot)
and bottom four (Darfield-South
Malvern, Southbrook, Lincoln,
Oxford-Rangiora).
The teams will play one round
of matches against each other
to decide seedings for the semifinals.
Scoreboards:
•Cheviot 110 (J Harris 39;
C Warner 4/16, B Alexander

Diesel expertise
available in Rolleston
All diesel vehicles have a diesel fuel injection unit.
When these need repairing, it is the job for an expert in
the field.
Phil Thompson is a qualified Automotive and Diesel
Fuel Injection Engineer. He is one of a very small
number of experts of diesel fuel injection in Canterbury
and throughout New Zealand.
Phil completed trade qualifications as well as
training courses over a number of years at the Bosch
headquarters in Melbourne, along with more than 30
years in fuel injection work so he really is an expert in
the field.
Recognising the need for specialist work in this area,
Phil and his wife Kylie set up Diesel Fix, relocating the
business to Rolleston’s Jones Road precinct last year.
This move has proved very popular with businesses and
individuals seeking repairs of their diesel fuel injection
systems.
Kylie who looks after the administrative work is
enjoying their new location, which is close to home in
Rolleston where they have lived for the last 10 years.
Moving Diesel Fix to Jones Road has given the business
a higher profile while being handier to many of the
firm’s customers who come from all over the
district as well as Christchurch city.
Phil carries out all aspects of diesel fuel
injection servicing, from pulling the pumps off
to reconditioning the units. This means, Diesel
Fix is the place to go for fuel injection pump
reconditioning, injector reconditioning, common
rail injector servicing, Efi injector servicing,
compression testing and vehicle scanning.
With the latest diagnostic equipment on site,
Diesel Fix can also look after more general
automotive servicing if needed. They also have a
large range of reconditioned injector pumps and
injectors for exchange or supply, along with new
common rail injectors and other diesel parts.
Diesel Fix can help with batteries too.
They carry Koba batteries for motor vehicles,
motorcycles, jetskis and four wheelers, as well as
the deep cycle batteries for larger vehicles such as
campervans and marine batteries.
If needing the services of Diesel Fix you can drop off
or courier any pumps and other diesel fuel injection
parts to 821 Jones Road in Rolleston. They are open
8am-5pm, Mondays to Fridays, and also on Saturdays
from 9am-1pm. Phil is only too happy to advise you.
Just call him on 0274 368 154 or 03 347 7108. It is also
helpful if you book your repair work in.
Phil is a qualified Automotive and
Diesel Fuel Injection Engineer.

gardening without guesswork
Question:
Answer:
It sure is! Just be sure that you
choose the right variety – these will
be quick maturing ones like Jersey
Benne, Rocket and Cliffs Kidney.
They will grow and produce
potatoes in 60-90 days, which
would crop in time before the
frosts start to kick in. Make sure
that the ground is well dug over
with Organic Compost, and add
some super phosphate in there as
well. This helps to encourage root
development.
For more information, check out our website: www.intelligro.co.nz

Disease
Potatoes can get infected with disease, of which blight is one of the majors.
You will notice leaf spots, and then it spreads to the stems and tubers.
This disease is most common in humid weather, especially if we have
warm days that turn into cool nights. Keep an eye on this, and treat as
soon as you notice it. There are great sprays out there that will help protect
your plant, so head to your local garden centre and ask their helpful team.

Late-Summer Veggie Care
With the warm weather no doubt your veggies are in abundance. Make
sure you are harvesting them as soon as they are ready so the birds and
bugs don’t attack them. Also, with most veggies, picking the produce will
encourage new growth – awesome! Cut off lower laterals on tomatoes
and remove older leaves on pumpkins and courgettes to help ripen fruit
and improve ventilation. Placing pumpkins on wood or another material
and keeping them off the ground will prevent soil damage from occurring
on your upcoming harvest.
Looking forward to autumn planting
When planting or sowing any new plants or veges, ensure you
prepare the soil and plant with the necessary nutrients to help the
growing process. Whether you are starting from seed, or planting
out seedlings, our Seed Raising Mix, Veggie Garden Mix, and Patio
Plus are specially formulated for this job. For existing garden beds
that need a freshen up, add in Organic Compost and dig it through.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Milk company renews supply
agreement with Chinese customer
Synlait and Bright Dairy are pleased to
announce a new five-year supply agreement
for packaged infant formula.
The agreement provides certainty around
production volumes for both parties, and
builds on previous supply arrangements
put in place since the relationship began in
2011.
“This new agreement is a positive step in
our long-standing partnership and we’re
looking forward to playing a key role in
the future success of Bright Dairy’s infant
formula business,” Synlait’s CEO John
Penno says.
The agreement includes a commitment
from both parties to prescribed production
volumes each year for Bright Dairy’s Pure
Canterbury infant formula brand.
Launched in 2011, the Pure Canterbury
range of infant formula is Bright Dairy’s
flagship infant nutrition brand. It is sold
throughout China in both online and
traditional channels.
This agreement will underpin Synlait’s
application to register Pure Canterbury with
the China Food and Drug Administration
(CFDA).
Overall, the agreement targets a fourfold
increase from current volumes over the
five-year term.
As well as being an infant formula
customer, Bright Dairy is also Synlait’s
largest shareholder by volume with a 39.4
per cent stake.
“We are fortunate to have one of
our largest and earliest infant formula
customers as a major shareholder,” Mr
Penno says.
“This shareholder dynamic is something
we share with a number of our customers
and it fosters a close relationship that
focuses on the medium to long-term
success for everyone involved.”
Other infant nutrition customers
with a strategic shareholding in Synlait
Milk include the a2 Milk Company and
Munchkin Inc.
“Synlait is a growth company and all of
our shareholders, including customers,
support our policy to reinvest our success
into the organisation here in New Zealand,”
Mr Penno says.

Unique home furnishing opportunity
Many people from Rolleston and others
visiting the area have discovered the unique
selection of quality, one-off home décor
items and furniture pieces on show at
Nevara Fine Interiors.
Sadly, due to medical reasons the store’s
owner Barbara Pritchard has made the
difficult decision to close Nevara and
is selling everything in-store at heavily
discounted prices.
Items on sale range from classical Chinese
antiques through to modern day furniture,
chairs, console tables and pots in a variety
of sizes for indoor or outdoor use. All are
offered at landed cost price providing
customers with a great chance to add that
special piece to their home.
There is a superb range of items on sale
in store. These include table lamps, accent
pieces like altar tables, coffee and end
tables, cushions, art, handmade jewellery, a
grand day bed, bronze frog drums, antique
pieces like jade, horses, fish and elephants,
as well as a 125 year old Chinese ginger jar
and Barbara’s handmade jewellery that will
dress up any outfit.
Barbara began Nevara Fine Interiors after
she returned from living abroad where she
trained under a world leading designer,
becoming an internationally recognised
interior designer in her own right with over
40 years’ experience. In opening the store,
she wanted to offer home furnishing items
not easy to find elsewhere and ones which
would set a home off by adding a character
piece expressing the personality of those
who lived there.
The sale of the shop’s items will run until
Wednesday, 28th February when the doors
will be closed unless an interested party
comes forward in the meantime.
Barbara will still be available to provide
interior design advice or oversee a partial
or complete refurbishment of your home or
business; a service she provided in Hawaii
for clients, many of whom had very large
homes.
You can contact Barbara on 022 358
1690 to learn more about Nevara.
Nevara Fine Interiors is located at South
Point shopping centre, 3/51 Faringdon
Boulevard in Faringdon (in the southeast
of Rolleston). You will see the red and
gold sail with the Naga mythical dragon
logo outside the store. Nevara is open
10am-5pm weekdays and 10am-3pm
Saturdays.

they put into every job.

Fireproofing
your outdoors
Hot summers and windy conditions help
fires take hold with the potential for them
to threaten our homes, whether controlled
burn-offs or due to inadvertent actions.
Potential risks to your home
Fires threaten homes in three ways:
• burning embers landing around a home
• a ground spreading fire, or
• through radiant heat.
Embers are a leading cause of house fires
as the wind can carry them for kilometres,
igniting when they land on flammable
materials such as tall dry grass, leaves,
debris in roof gutters, hessian door mats,
outdoor furniture coverings, and rubbish or
materials stored near or under a building.
Embers may also make their way into a
home through open windows and doors or
vents.
The effect of blown embers from a scrub
fire was witnessed in West Melton recently
when they ignited pea straw and bark
garden mulch, threatening homes and
frightening homeowners.
Low vegetation can help spread ground
fires. These travel faster downwind and
up slopes, burning anything in their path
including fences, garden edging, trellises,
sheds and homes.
Fires caused by radiant heat, preheat
igniting flammable materials in and around
a home.
Protecting your home
Unlike other natural disasters like
floods, wind events and earthquakes,
homeowners can be proactive in protecting
their properties from fire. What is within
60 metres of your home will influence the
potential for it to catch fire.
Following some simple steps can increase
your home’s chance of surviving a fire:
• Keep vehicles and wood away from the
home.
• Clean debris out of roof gutters
(especially over summer).
• Stack and store outdoor furniture when
not in use.
• Use non-flammable door mats.
• Keep decks free from vegetation and
debris.
• Fix fine mesh over vents, outdoor pizza
ovens and fireplaces.
• Keep vegetation back from the home or
grow less flammable species like magnolias,
citrus, feijoa, prunus, mulberry, photinia,
deciduous oaks, and succulents for
groundcovers.
• Prune tree branches at least two metres
above the ground, keeping large trees back
from the home and spacing plantings so
they are less likely to spread fire.
• Create a ‘clear zone’ between vegetation
and your house with a lawn or hard tiled,
concrete or stone surface.
• Keep grass cut and irrigate lawns so
they stay green over summer.
• Keep trees, shrubs, logs, twigs, pine
needles and other fuel 10 metres away from
your house.
• Ensure your driveway is at least 4x4
metres wide for emergency vehicles access.
• Choose fire retardant, non-flammable
materials when building or renovating and
metal or roofing iron for fences.
• Work with your neighbour to keep your
home safe.
• Clearly exhibit your street number so
emergency services can see it.
• Thoroughly wet down fire ash.
• Use your barbecue in a sheltered
spot, away from wind, shrubs, trees and
flammable materials.
• Never leave candles burning opting
instead for battery lanterns and electrical
lighting.
• When letting off fireworks, have a hose
close by and bucket to drop spent fireworks
into, lighting them in a barren area.
Summer iS here...
So its a great time to start
thinking about your new lawn.

Transform your garden
There is often another burst of growth
during February and March then as
autumn sets in plants start to go into winter
hibernation.
It is now time to give the garden a good
clean up, pruning back plants that have just
finished flowering and filling any gaps with
new shrubs or trees. If you are not sure
Sharon CroftS

• Consultations • Design Concepts • Planting Plans
about what to prune and when, types of
plants that are best for a particular position,
or if wanting to carry out more extensive
garden renovations then it is worth seeking
advice from a professional.
A landscape designer can add a new
perspective to your garden project
providing additional ideas, and knowledge
of plants and where best to plant them with
autumn ideal for taking a re-look at the
garden and making changes, or revamping
it.
“This summer’s hot conditions have taxed
some plants and this may mean there are
some gaps in the garden that need filling
in or you might want a fresh look,” says
landscape designer Sharon who owns and
operates Sharon Crofts Landscape Designs.
Sharon can advise on what will work best
for a particular position in your garden and
how you can create the outdoor look you
are seeking.
“With the hottest months over, planting
in February and March gives plants a better
rate of survival making this an ideal time
to create a new garden layout,” explains
Sharon.
“As the weather cools you can start
wrenching any plants you want to shift and
looking for suitable species to fill the gaps.”
Sharon reminds that autumn is ideal for
seeding a lawn, advising not to leave it too
late to sow as early frosts can knock grass
and plant growth back.
Fruit trees can also be planted and over
winter, it may be possible to purchase these
as well as roses and other deciduous trees,
bare rooted which can be a little more
affordable.
Sharon has studied and worked in
horticulture and landscape technology
for a number of years. Sharon Crofts
Landscape Design offers landscape design
services covering: landscape plans for
new and existing houses; planting plans,
proposals and pictorials; sub-division
developer landscape concepts or full
plans; elevations; construction details; and
plant sourcing. Sharon can also organise
landscape contractors and manage a full
landscape project.
Sharon will work with you, meeting
and advising you on-site, gathering ideas
then drawing up landscape designs so a
functional garden setting, ideal for you and
your family and in line with your interests,
personality and budget is created.

SELWYN TIMES
ADVERTORIAL
Meeting the needs of a growing community
Located in the heart of Faringdon, the attractive South
Point retail complex was designed to meet the diverse
needs of the lively and growing Rolleston community.
It comprises a range of businesses, including The Pedal
Pusher Restaurant Bar, Hooked Fish and Chips, a
clothing store, an Indian restaurant, a men’s hairdresser,
a convenience store and a dance school.
Hooked Fish and Chips is a local, family-owned
business focusing on high-quality, real fish and chips,
owner Rick Irvine says.
As he explains, there are no processed food items. The
burgers and meat patties are made on site using 100 per
cent steak mince, and the chicken for the burgers is pure
chicken breast with some special seasonings. Buns are
baked daily, all fish is battered to order as you wait and
nothing is pre-battered.
“We are trying to offer high-quality food at prices that
are as affordable as possible. All fish is at least 150g per
portion,” Rick says. “We offer at least three choices of
fish and two choices of chips, crunchy twice cooked, and
freshly cut chips cooked from raw for a more traditional
home-cooked option.
“We like to source as much product locally as possible
and support as many small businesses as we can. We
hope to play our part in the community and provide
support to various teams, clubs and community groups
as we have always done in the past.”
Paying tribute to the strong bicycling history of
Christchurch, The Pedal Pusher Restaurant Bar features
a unique and quirky bicycle-themed décor. Bicycles and
bicycle parts festoon the ceiling, creating a jaw-dropping
effect, while the warmth and friendliness of the staff add
to the positive vibe.
Customers can enjoy a delicious and varied range of
dishes, from brunch and lunch through to platters for
sharing and classy dinners. Daily specials range from
tasty bar snacks to pizzas on Friday.
All produce and ingredients are locally sourced,
ensuring freshness and flavour.
The food is complemented by an extensive beverage
selection, including quality New Zealand wines, Italian
sparking wines, champagne, as well as premium
mainstream New Zealand beers and a wide range of
New Zealand craft beers. Cocktails for every season
complete the selection.
There is also freshly brewed espresso coffee and fresh
baking every day.
A kids’ area with TV and toys keeps the youngsters
happy, plus there are two relaxing outside areas. Sunday
afternoons feature a barbeque and live music, while
regular events include a quiz night every Monday with
free entry.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Building trends moving
into 2018
Where once a 200 plus square metre four
bedroom home was the norm, the district
is coming of age with the breadth and
size of new home builds including many
smaller footprints.
Developments such as Generation
Homes’ Devon Green and Branthwaite
in Rolleston cater expressly for buyers
capitalising on the Home Start grant
and the opportunity to draw down their
KiwiSaver funds to allow them to get
into the market. Other first home buyers
and those downsizing are also looking at
homes around the 125-150 square metre
mark.
Three bedroom homes ranging upwards
of 165 to 190sqm and three car garages are
also now popular options.
Market changes are also reflected in
the diversity of style and size in the show
homes now available for viewing.
It is not just the young who are being
catered for with three over 55 and
retirement complexes currently under
construction in Rolleston. These include
the Mary Brittan Lifestyle Village,
Woodcroft Estate and The Boulevard
with villas, duplex units and apartments
planned while the latter will ultimately
be Rolleston’s first village to offer the full
continuum of care with care suites and
hospital rest home and dementia beds.
External claddings on residential
buildings continue to include the more
traditional brick and plaster with more
frequency in the use of linear along with
cedar, schist and metal as cladding options
or added for effect. Roof lines vary from
hip and gable to skillion.
Homes with interesting floor layouts are
desirable while interior trends for 2018
are away from white or stainless steel
kitchen sinks to black or dark colours,
accented with quirky or concrete benches,
floors and even walls. The rustic effect is
augmented with tiled splash backs that
give the look of wallpaper, vintage lighting,
open shelving, and matte metal or brass
hardware.
As kitchens have become the hub of
the home the bathroom is a place of
luxuriance. Generous walk-in showers,
double shower heads (especially in
ensuites), freestanding baths and tiling not
just on the floors but running up the walls
are common themes. Trough and bucket
sinks are also in as is the rustic look,
complemented by splashes of colour with
aquas and greens in vogue.
Statement or white floors are mooted
overseas supplemented with earthy tones
and light wood cabinetry while the natural
wood look and warm neutral colours
are still fashionable augmented with rich
vibrant colours.
Access and doorways are becoming
wider.
In the bedroom, casual and calm
yet modern is the feel while textured
patterned wallpapers especially as feature
walls may be present throughout the
house, or black walls along with large
furniture pieces.
Energy saving features to incorporate
into the new home include: low-emissivity
(low-e) double glazing, solar water heating
or power and remote controlled systems
that allow lights and heating to be turned
on from a cell phone.
Designer living spaces outdoors are also
in vogue with porticos, pizza ovens, gas
fires and lap pools often incorporated.

Help at hand for overwhelmed
home buyers and sellers
If you believe everything you see in
advertisements, buying a house is a
blissfully easy process done by attractive
couples who are moving into pictureperfect
properties. There will be moments
of joy and laughter, and the only thing
missing will be a unicorn grazing in the
neatly manicured garden.
In real life, buying or selling a house can
be a time for great rejoicing, but it can also
be extremely stressful. Owning a home is
still embedded in the Kiwi DNA, despite
rising prices making it less attainable.
Buying a property is the biggest financial
transaction most people will ever make in
their lifetime and if it doesn’t go well the
results can be devastating.
As the regulator for New Zealand’s real
estate industry, the Real Estate Authority
(REA) works to increase professionalism
and public confidence in the sector as
well as to protect, educate and inform
home buyers and sellers. In the last year
we’ve done a lot of research into Kiwis’
experience of property transactions and
the results have been sobering.
Our research has found that more than
50 per cent of New Zealanders say they
lack the knowledge and information they
need when trying to buy and sell property.
Many feel confused and find it difficult
to find reliable information. The majority
(55 per cent) said they lacked knowledge
about the end-to-end process.
Unfortunately, this lack of knowledge
means that many buyers fail to do the
appropriate due diligence and expose
themselves to significant potential risks. We
all know someone who didn’t realise they’d
have to pay for a shared driveway, or who
bought a house without getting a building
inspection that would have showed it was
full of borer. Our survey found that while
83 per cent of buyers got at least one report
on a property, less than half (44 per cent)
got one from a certified building inspector.
These kinds of situations cost money and
time, which are never in great enough
supply for most people.
A lack of clear guidance could be partially
responsible for the results of a second
survey, which showed that 53 per cent
of potential buyers had problems when
making an offer on a property. Thirtyfive
per cent of sellers found marketing
the property and having open homes the
toughest part of the process. Half of those
who experienced trouble said it had a
significant impact, causing them personal
stress or financial woes. New migrants and
first-time home buyers and sellers were the
most likely to have problems, such as with
understanding the value and the condition
of a property.
While it may seem that there’s a lot of
information on buying or selling out there,
it’s often scattered and hard to understand.
Crucially, it often comes from sources with
a vested interest in the outcome and people
are understandably wary about whether
they can rely on it.
This is where we come in. This week we
launched a new website to help fill the gap.
Buying a house is a complex legal process
and things can be even more difficult if
you’re not sure about how it works because
you’ve never done it before or you haven’t
done it for a long time. We hope that the
impartial and interactive information and
guidance on settled.govt.nz will help people
make better decisions. We want to make it
easy for people to do their homework so
they feel confident and in control before
buying or selling property. When you’ve
got the right information at hand your
experience is much more likely to resemble
the dream sold in advertisements.
Kevin Lampen-Smith is the chief executive
of the Real Estate Authority (REA).
