• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
IT IS FOUR days out from <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
largest music festival – and tickets<br />
are likely to sell out.<br />
A capacity 10,000 crowd is expected<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds at Lincoln<br />
Domain on Saturday.<br />
Australian rock icon Jimmy<br />
Barnes will headline the show. The<br />
Feelers, Mental as Anything, Stellar,<br />
The Mockers, The Narcs, The Lady<br />
Killers and The Warratahs will also<br />
play.<br />
Promotor David Parlane said if<br />
people think they can walk up on<br />
the day to buy a ticket they may be<br />
unlucky.<br />
The day-long festival will include<br />
more than 30 international food<br />
stalls.<br />
Mr Parlane said while last year<br />
ran virtually seamless, some changes<br />
have been made – including<br />
doubling the amount of Portaloos to<br />
decrease waiting lines.<br />
Artists will begin arriving in from<br />
Thursday.<br />
Barnes will fly in on Saturday<br />
morning after playing a gig in<br />
Adelaide the night before.<br />

SELWYN SOUNDS is now locked in as an<br />
iconic event in the district.<br />
It’s on again at Lincoln on Saturday and<br />
congratulations must go to promoter David<br />
Parlane and his team for building on the<br />
success of last year’s festival.<br />
The day benefits the district in terms of profile and spending.<br />
There’s plenty of bars and cafes in the area to head to after – or<br />
before – the gig.<br />
But there’s another big event on Saturday, well for me anyway<br />
– the 23rd Deserthead Classic (golf) at Ellesmere.<br />
It’s so named because a number of the original players were<br />
follicly challenged, me excepted!<br />
Needless to say, I’ve been tearing my hair out over where to be<br />
– golf or <strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds?<br />

and Maddie were excited to be<br />
heading home, they were both<br />
very tired.<br />
“She needs plenty of rest to get<br />
her body strong again and then<br />
onwards and upwards,” Mrs<br />
Manson-Collins said.<br />
She said Maddie,14, has a<br />
slight cold at the moment which<br />
she may take a couple of weeks<br />
to recover from.<br />
Maddie and her family were<br />

“I was ecstatic to break the<br />

achieve these, due to the fact that<br />
I am in my last year at Christchurch<br />

Bridge takes shape<br />
A new bridge over Liffey Stream in Lincoln is expected to<br />
be competed at the end of next month. The three-year<br />
staged project began last year with the construction of the<br />
pedestrian link adjacent to the former country club – which<br />
is now the Lincoln Primary School junior satellite campus.<br />
The timber bridge and associated pathway links are the<br />
second stage of works to be undertaken. Hunter Civil Project<br />
Management and Construction built the bridge off-site. The<br />
32m structure was placed by a crane in three sections, onto<br />
four central piles. The district council’s land development<br />
project manager Phil Millar said the Lincoln Community<br />
Committee has been very supportive of increasing the<br />
accessibility and linkages through the Esplanade Reserve,<br />
and that the additional linkages will have huge recreational<br />
benefits for the community. “It’s been fantastic for the district<br />
council to work closely with the community committee on<br />
this project,” he said.<br />

Big plans for Springfield station<br />
NEW START: The Springfield Railway Station Cafe re-opened<br />
last month and is run by Gayl and Barry Lindon. <br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
A NEW community group has<br />
formed to give Springfield’s<br />
historic railway station a makeover.<br />
The Friends of Springfield Station<br />
plans to beautify its station<br />
– in a bid to transform it into a<br />
community hub.<br />
The group is planning to work<br />
with KiwiRail and Rail Heritage<br />
Trust of New Zealand to<br />
paint the station and tidy up its<br />
gardens.<br />
Restoration work will include<br />
painting the building’s<br />
woodwork, veranda, doors and<br />
window sills.<br />
Founder Simon Williams said<br />
the aim is to turn it into a community<br />
area for people to come<br />
and “hang out.”<br />
“I think it is worth doing because<br />
it is part of the historical<br />
fabric of Springfield, which was<br />
really put there for the railway,”<br />
he said.<br />
The group was formed after<br />
Christmas and is made up of<br />
about 20 members.<br />
The station is already<br />
beginning to grow with The<br />
Springfield Railway Station Cafe<br />
re-opening last month in the<br />
station’s old refreshment rooms.<br />
The cafe’s leasee Heather Valphy<br />
makes up cheeseboards for<br />
the TranzAlpine at the station<br />
each day.<br />
The station already has a collectables<br />
shop, personal trainer<br />
and plant seller.<br />
A monthly farmer’s market<br />
is also planned to run in the<br />
future.<br />
The station has operated in the<br />
township since the 1880s.<br />
It was originally located in the<br />
centre of Springfield – which<br />
is now known as Tramway<br />
Reserve.<br />
In 1923, the railway station<br />
was moved to its current<br />
location off King St so a larger<br />
marshalling yard could be built<br />
following the opening of the<br />
Otira Tunnel.<br />
“Springfield used to be a really<br />
big railway centre . . . they used<br />
to have a particular type of locomotive<br />
stationed at Springfield.<br />
I think there was something<br />
like 70 people who serviced the<br />
system,” Mr Williams said.<br />
He said 12 white railway<br />
houses known as the “white<br />
city” used to be located along<br />
the line.<br />
The railway station was rebuilt<br />
using pink summerhill stone in<br />
1966 after the old station burnt<br />
down.<br />
Mr Williams said while pink<br />
summerhill stone is not “everybody’s<br />
favourite building material<br />
in <strong>2018</strong>”, the Rail Heritage<br />
Trust felt it was a voyage too far<br />
to repaint the building material.<br />
He said he thinks when the<br />
steam locomotives disappeared<br />
at the end of the 1960s people<br />
thought the railway age was<br />
over.<br />
But Mr Williams said there<br />
are still a lot of railway men in<br />
the town and its heritage is not<br />
being celebrated enough.<br />
The group will lodge a proposal<br />
with KiwiRail in the hopes<br />
of securing funding for the<br />
project.<br />
As part of his proposal, Mr<br />
Williams would like to get<br />
KiwiRail to agree to stopping<br />
the TranzAlpine in Springfield<br />
for an extended break.<br />
Currently, it only stops to<br />
allow passengers to board or<br />
disembark the train and to pick<br />
up the cheeseboards.<br />

Court appearance<br />
for second youth<br />
in ‘drown in’ case<br />
A SECOND youth has appeared<br />
in court in the Rolleston ‘drown<br />
him’ case.<br />
A 15-year-old appeared in the<br />
youth court last Tuesday jointly<br />
charged with aggravated robbery.<br />
A 16-year-old appeared on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 13.<br />
Both have denied the charge<br />
and will reappear in March.<br />
The alleged robbery took place<br />
after a fireworks display on<br />
November 4.<br />
A 15-year-old victim was<br />
allegedly beaten and then<br />
dragged to a water race where<br />
his head was held under the<br />
water.<br />
His assailants chanted “drown<br />
him, drown him” during the attack,<br />
police allege.<br />
Police are not seeking anyone<br />
else in relation to the incident<br />
which left the victim with a<br />
nasty gash on his face that<br />
required stitches and a night in<br />
hospital.<br />
An Independent Police Conduct<br />

two officers is still ongoing after<br />

Adams tackled over impact<br />
of motorway comments<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
SELWYN MP Amy Adams<br />
has been told she is wrong<br />
to claim the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency is not<br />
monitoring traffic volume<br />
on West Melton roads.<br />
Ms Adams recently<br />
released a statement saying<br />
she is concerned about the<br />
impact the Christchurch<br />
Southern Motorway Stage<br />
2 will have on West Melton<br />
roads.<br />
She said she is disappointed<br />
NZTA has not<br />
carried out transport<br />
modelling on roads which<br />
will be affected by the new<br />
motorway.<br />
It follows a recent meeting<br />
she had with NZTA<br />
regarding her concerns.<br />
However, NZTA’s<br />
regional relationships<br />
director Jim Harland said<br />
it is not correct to say traffic<br />
volumes have not been<br />
monitored.<br />
“Our traffic count<br />
database, which covers all<br />
highways, is monitored<br />
regularly by transport<br />
planning staff to identify<br />
when issues may arise on<br />
the network,” he said.<br />
Amy Adams<br />
Ms Adams said while<br />
she is a supporter of<br />
CSM2, she is worried<br />
about Weedons Ross Rd<br />
and the intersection of<br />
the same road with State<br />
Highway 73.<br />
“I would have assumed<br />
that NZTA would have<br />
done modelling on the<br />
impact of CSM2 on surrounding<br />
roads using current<br />
data but this appears<br />
to not have been the case.’’<br />
Mr Harland said the<br />
West Melton intersection<br />
has been identified and as<br />
a result NZTA is planning<br />
an intersection upgrade in<br />
the next three year transport<br />
programme.<br />
This is to improve safety<br />
and access as a response<br />
to residential development<br />
and traffic growth at the<br />
intersection.<br />
Mr Harland said transport<br />
modelling of the<br />
intersection will occur<br />
when the project is being<br />
designed and planned.<br />
But Ms Adams said<br />
NZTA has not updated its<br />
traffic volume data since<br />
2000 – in spite of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
experiencing some of<br />
the fastest growth in the<br />
country.<br />
“This leaves West Melton<br />
residents and drivers who<br />
commute via this intersection<br />
daily without any<br />
assurance that there is an<br />
adequate plan in place to<br />
manage the growing traffic<br />
volumes at this location<br />
and mitigate health and<br />
safety risks for drivers and<br />
pedestrians.<br />

Weedons Residents<br />
Association secretary<br />
Gary Doyle responds to<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>’ article<br />
on Wigram MP Megan<br />
Woods and Minister for<br />
Conservation Eugenie<br />
Sage meeting with<br />
residents over quarrying<br />
issues in Templeton<br />
The inference is that Megan<br />
Woods and Eugene Sage met<br />
with Weedons residents. I can<br />
assure that neither person<br />
has had any contact with the<br />
Weedons Resident’s Association.<br />
They may have been in touch<br />
with the Templeton residents<br />
but not with us, and as the<br />
proposed quarry is in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District and not the<br />
Christchurch city then surely<br />
the local residents association<br />
should be involved with any<br />
such discussions.<br />
For these two people to say<br />
that they have listened firsthand<br />
to local residents concerns<br />
is not correct, and gives<br />
the Weedons people a false<br />
impression as to how things<br />
are progressing.<br />
Both Weedons and Templeton<br />
have had a joint meeting<br />
with Fulton Hogan and a<br />
channel for dialogue has been<br />
opened, however, as the firm<br />
has not finalised its plans yet it<br />
is to early to make an assumptions<br />
as to how things will<br />
progress.<br />

Abbeyfield Ellesmere’s<br />
request for the district<br />
council to write off, as<br />
a grant, its loan to the<br />
project<br />
FINANCE:<br />
Abbeyfield<br />
volunteers<br />
have asked<br />
the district<br />
council to<br />
write off a<br />
loan to the<br />
complex.<br />
It is obvious that<br />
John Morten has strong<br />
feelings that council<br />
should not be inundated<br />
with appeals from people<br />
with strong feelings about<br />
issues. I agree with him that<br />
the best form of protection for<br />
council is to act decisively in<br />
the Abbeyfield situation, and<br />
establish a firm precedent that<br />
this is the way council will<br />
operate.<br />

Ellesmere College<br />
principal appointed<br />
IRISHMAN Ronan Bass<br />
has been appointed new<br />
principal at Ellesmere<br />
College.<br />
He will start his new role<br />
at the school at the beginning<br />
of term 2.<br />
It comes after the<br />
school’s previous principal<br />
Gavin Kidd resigned to<br />
take on a new position as<br />
the director of the Dunedin<br />
Secondary Schools<br />
Partnership Charitable<br />
Trust.<br />
Following his resignation,<br />
the school carried out<br />
a survey of students, staff<br />
and community to try and<br />
identify the characteristics<br />
they wanted to see in their<br />
new principal.<br />
The board narrowed its<br />
selection down to three<br />
candidates.<br />
Each candidate met with<br />
the school’s student senior<br />
leaders and head students before<br />
formal interviews were<br />
carried out by the board.<br />
Mr Bass is currently<br />
the deputy principal of<br />
Hillcrest High School in<br />
Hamilton.<br />
Growing up in a small<br />
rural village on the east<br />
HORORATA IS planning<br />
a festival to entertain and<br />
delight while benefiting the<br />
community.<br />
The Hororata Night<br />
Glow will be a festival with<br />
hot air balloons lighting up<br />
the night sky.<br />
It will feature music,<br />
food and wine the district<br />
has on offer, crafts stalls<br />
and family entertainment.<br />
Hororata Community<br />
Trust executive officer<br />
Cindy Driscoll said the<br />
event has already captured<br />
imagination with more<br />
than 12,000 following the<br />
festival on Facebook.<br />
APPOINTED: Ellesmere College’s new principal<br />
Ronan Bass.<br />
coast of Ireland, he was<br />
educated at the University<br />
of Limerick.<br />
He graduated in 1997<br />
with an honours degree in<br />
science and education.<br />
Mr Bass completed a<br />
Post Graduate Diploma in<br />
Educational Leadership and<br />
Management in 2009 at<br />
Unitec, Auckland, and was<br />
awarded a 32-week TeachNZ<br />
study award in 2010.<br />
During that time he<br />
carried out research in the<br />
area of middle leadership<br />
“Hot air balloons have<br />
a certain magic that<br />
intrigues young and old,<br />
to see them “glowing” in<br />
unison to music is a rare<br />
and exciting opportunity,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Driscoll said while<br />
the balloons are the headline<br />
act of the event, the<br />
autumn festival surrounding<br />
their performance<br />
will offer a whole range of<br />
entertainment, making it a<br />
great afternoon out.<br />
The event has a line-up<br />
of artists including Holly<br />
Kimber, Volts and The<br />
Easy Hearts.<br />
development to improve<br />
Māori student achievement.<br />
Over the past two<br />
decades, Mr Bass has<br />
worked in small, medium<br />
and large rural and urban<br />
high schools in Ireland,<br />
the United Kingdom,<br />
Switzerland and New<br />
Zealand.<br />
He said he is looking<br />
forward to getting to know<br />
and serving the Leeston,<br />
Dunsandel and Southbridge<br />
communities.<br />
Lighting up the night sky<br />
Inflatable mini-golf and<br />
Springfree trampolines<br />
will both be free for children<br />
to play on.<br />
Mrs Driscoll said food is<br />
going to be a big focus of<br />
the event.<br />

could think of into the city in<br />
convoys. It was everything out<br />
of our garden’s pantries and<br />
goodness knows what. We did<br />
that for about five months and<br />
then when things began to settle<br />
down a bit more, we realised<br />
people wanted to continue<br />
helping people and so it evolved<br />
into the Malvern Community<br />
Hub. From there, the Darfield<br />
Baptist Church picked up the<br />
need to have the Two Rivers<br />
Community Trust so there was<br />
a legal entity and other things<br />
could grow and happen out of<br />
that.<br />
Are the Malvern Community<br />
Hub and Two Rivers Trust two<br />
separate organisations?<br />
Two Rivers has got four main<br />
streams to it and community<br />
support is the stream we are<br />
under. I manage that stream for<br />
Two Rivers. The hub falls under<br />
that along with other things.<br />
Tell me about some of the key<br />
projects you have been working<br />
on lately?<br />
Regular programmes we<br />
support are the Craft and<br />
Cuppa. That is specifically for<br />
people who are lonely and need<br />
to come out and talk to other<br />
people. They can do crafts if<br />
they want to, but they don’t<br />
have to. It is a chance for lonely<br />
people to integrate into a bigger<br />
community. The folk from<br />
Westmar Senior Care Centre,<br />
some of them come along to it.<br />
It is just nice to be out and about<br />
in the community and meeting<br />
other people. Language and<br />
Laughter is another one. It came<br />

out of our knowledge there were<br />
many migrant women kind of<br />
trapped on farms and some of<br />
them desperate to have their<br />
children get into some kind of<br />
pre-school programme so they<br />
start learning English. We have<br />
had people from South America,<br />
Egypt and India. They gather<br />
together to do conversational<br />
English and help with whatever<br />
project they are on about.<br />
The Malvern area gets a lot of<br />
people coming from overseas?<br />
Absolutely. For the women<br />
in particular, they can be very<br />
isolated on their farms. The<br />
husbands can be off to work and<br />
he is integrating with others and<br />
learning English, but she is at<br />
home maybe with a child or two.<br />
We have a particular compassion<br />
for those women.<br />
In your role, what are some<br />
interesting things you have<br />
learnt that you think others<br />
would be surprised to hear?<br />
It is certainly around the<br />
perception of poverty. Because<br />
we think, ‘oh, this is where<br />
retired farmers come,’ and<br />
retired farmers clearly have<br />
a lot of money. There is a<br />
misconception about the level<br />
of poverty. That is quite an<br />
interesting one to tackle. We<br />
offer budgeted advice and run<br />
the foodbank so we are seeing<br />
those people who have hit a<br />
speed bump on their road and<br />
they are really struggling. But<br />
it is interesting to convince<br />
other people there is that level<br />
of poverty. The other critical<br />
element is about housing and<br />
the need for social housing. The<br />
market sourced system simply<br />
doesn’t work. The two are kind<br />
of linked.<br />

Wednesday <strong>February</strong> <strong>28</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 13<br />
alone in the countryside<br />
You don’t always hear a lot<br />
about <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s social situation?<br />
One of the difficulties is that<br />
the people who have some<br />
control are the people who<br />
decide what is the poverty level<br />
or what is the need for social<br />
housing or emergency housing.<br />
All of the agencies who support<br />
them are distant. They are in<br />
the city or they are hidden in<br />
bureaucratic places. So out here,<br />
we are left to do what can we do.<br />
What do you feel needs<br />
to be done to improve these<br />
situations?<br />
There needs to be a clear<br />
commitment from the agencies<br />
that they will sit around a table<br />
and talk to the people who really<br />
know what is going on. And<br />
explore and discuss until we find<br />
the solutions that are available<br />
to us.<br />
It is really quite simple if<br />
you talk to people in their own<br />
communities, you find what they<br />
need is a change in regulation so<br />
you can put a granny flat on the<br />
back of your property that is not<br />
for a family member but is for<br />
somebody else.<br />
In Darfield of course, we<br />
have a significant proportion of<br />
the population that live alone.<br />
Sometimes they are living like<br />
me in a three-bedroom house on<br />
a quarter acre section which is<br />
far more than I actually need.<br />
But I don’t have any other<br />
alternatives. Where can I find<br />
small suitable accommodation<br />
that doesn’t take it right through<br />
the roof? If we had a forum that<br />
said how could we deal with<br />
this and what is in our power<br />
to do that, we could make a big<br />
difference I believe.<br />
Are there other agencies you<br />
would like to talk to?<br />
Absolutely. Some of the private<br />
organisations that do social<br />
housing. I know the Salvation<br />
Army is struggling with the<br />
definition of ‘need’ and the<br />
limitations on that but they are<br />
another voice.<br />
The agency that controls<br />
income subsidies; they need to<br />
be sitting around the table as<br />
well. WINZ and places like that,<br />
and representatives of the health<br />
system because everybody knows<br />
the healthiest place for a person<br />
is in their own home. How do<br />
we keep them there? How do<br />
we sustain people in their own<br />
homes or make it possible to do<br />
that? It would have to be a forum<br />
that looks at all the aspects.<br />
What is the most difficult<br />
part of your job?<br />
It is a silly thing but really the<br />
most difficult part of my job is<br />
encouraging people to believe<br />
they are not a failure if they have<br />
a speed bump in their life and if<br />
they need a bit of help they can<br />
get it. When they have got over<br />
that, they can contribute back. It<br />
is just the way a neighbour works<br />
with another neighbour.<br />
You must feel like you know<br />
everyone in the community<br />
after working with them so<br />
much?<br />
Just about, and we work hard<br />
to make sure people know we<br />
will stop and listen. We will take<br />
them seriously. We will find<br />
some way – some neighbourly<br />
way – of dealing with what the<br />
situation is. We recommend to<br />
other people, we advocate to<br />
other people, we walk alongside<br />
people on the journey.<br />
Is this your full-time role?<br />
I am full-time bossy my family<br />
tells me. I have had a long career<br />
in teaching and I use aspects of it<br />
in what I do now. But, yes, I am<br />
retired and busy.<br />
How did you come to arrive<br />
in Darfield?<br />
I am really a North Islander<br />
who came down here to<br />
Darfield. I think it was about<br />
2003-2004. When I finished my<br />
teaching career I wanted to be<br />
a bit closer to my children and<br />
grandchildren – not too close but<br />
close enough that I can join in<br />
their lives. Then I thought ‘here I<br />
am, what am I going to do?’ And<br />
it went from there.<br />
And you have been involved<br />
in helping the Darfield<br />
community ever since?<br />
I have a passion for Malvern<br />
because it is the biggest but least<br />
inhabited and therefore the least<br />
serviced part of <strong>Selwyn</strong>. When<br />
people think of <strong>Selwyn</strong>, they<br />
tend to think of the big-bodied<br />
population that is Rolleston and<br />
the services there.<br />
We have got so many villages.<br />
They have just as much need and<br />
it is just helping them to find a<br />
voice or find some strategies<br />
that are in their control. If we<br />
can do this together we can<br />
mange it.<br />
You must like being out in the<br />
country?<br />
Yes, and the other element<br />
is because it is rural there is a<br />
spirit of generosity – it is just<br />
wonderful. We never lack for<br />
volunteers; we never lack for<br />
contributions to the foodbank<br />
or people to help out. People<br />
want to be engaged; to be<br />
neighbourly; to express that<br />
neighbourliness.<br />
Has Darfield changed a lot?<br />
The demographics are<br />
changing; it is growing. There is<br />
GOOD WORK: Bev<br />
Elder (right) with<br />
Darfield Community<br />
Garden work group<br />
volunteers Bronwyn<br />
Adams Hooper and<br />
Rhyannon Gregg.<br />
The volunteers were<br />
preparing to plant<br />
heritage apple trees.<br />
no doubt about that in different<br />
kinds of ways. There is a<br />
significant rise in renters rather<br />
than home owners. A lot of it<br />
does depend on what Fonterra is<br />
doing and whether they are in an<br />
expansion phase or not. I think<br />
the township is poised for more<br />
growth.<br />
It has certainly got enough<br />
capacity to grow. It is hard to<br />
know with the forces holding<br />
it back from becoming what it<br />
could be. I guess the focus is<br />
on Rolleston and also probably<br />
it has to do with the fact they<br />
haven’t resolved the whole<br />
issue with the water reticulated<br />
system. We feel out here that is<br />
being used as a reason to not go<br />
ahead with things.<br />
What do you like to do in<br />
your spare time?<br />
I have a very active little dog<br />
so walking is one of them. I<br />
love working in the Darfield<br />
Community Garden that has<br />
been established out there. I<br />
read heaps and I try to learn<br />
something new every year.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Teacher says farewell to a life of ballet<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
“THE MORE you put into<br />
dance, the more that comes back<br />
to you.”<br />
Those are the words of highlyrespected<br />
ballet teacher Ann<br />
Judson, of Lincoln, who has<br />
dedicated 44 years to helping<br />
place dancers in professional<br />
schools and ballet companies<br />
around the world.<br />
She taught at ballet schools<br />
across the country and most recently<br />
at Aspire Dance Academy<br />
where she took classes at the<br />
Springston Community Hall.<br />
But after a difficult past 18<br />
months, Ms Judson has farewelled<br />
a life of ballet.<br />
In November, she fell off<br />
her bike and broke two parts<br />
of her upper arm and<br />
dislocated her shoulder. She also<br />
broke her shoulder socket in two<br />
places.<br />
She spent seven weeks sitting<br />
upright in her bed every night to<br />
sleep.<br />
“I was very fortunate because<br />
the hospital hoped the dislocation<br />
would go back into place so<br />
I could avoid surgery. That actually<br />
happened,” she said.<br />
But she said she has got another<br />
five months of physio and<br />
the last 18 months have been a<br />
lot to cope with.<br />
In 2016, she lost her husband<br />
Paul in an accident at Queen’s<br />
Birthday weekend and dealt<br />
with unexpected throat surgery<br />
shortly afterwards.<br />
“Often he would walk through<br />
the door with the most beautiful<br />
bouquet of roses with no other<br />
reason than to say: ‘I love you’,”<br />
she said.<br />
Ms Judson said she was fortunate<br />
because her husband was a<br />
superb cook and she would come<br />
home to a cooked meal when she<br />
was tired at the end of the day.<br />
When she was recognised with<br />
a New Zealand Order Of Merit<br />
(MNZM) for services to ballet in<br />
2015, she said Paul had earned<br />
that award as well.<br />
Ms Judson said the parents<br />
of her pupils supported her “in<br />
every possible way” both before<br />
and after her husband’s death.<br />

“The parental support I have<br />
had has been absolutely superb,”<br />
she said.<br />
A Mad Hatter’s Tea Party<br />
celebration was held at St Mary’s<br />
Anglican Church, Halswell,<br />
recently to recognise her retirement.<br />
Ms Judson trained at the New<br />
Zealand School of Dance and<br />
danced with the Royal New<br />
Zealand Ballet.<br />
She set up the National Ballet<br />
School full-time tertiary course<br />
in Christchurch in 1993 and was<br />
awarded a fellowship with the<br />
British Ballet Organisation.<br />
She is also the South Island<br />
representative for the British Ballet<br />
Organisation Australasia.<br />
But Ms Judson said the greatest<br />
part of her teaching career<br />
has been “to see a child’s belief<br />
in him or herself come into fruition.”<br />
One of her most successful<br />
pupils was Marc Cassidy who<br />
travelled from Clyde to Christch-<br />
LOOKING BACK: Ann Judson<br />
with a international Japanese<br />
student training at the National<br />
Ballet School in the early<br />
1990s.<br />
urch for weeks at a time to train<br />
with her.<br />
Cassidy was accepted into the<br />
Australian Ballet School before<br />
winning The Genée International<br />
Ballet Competition in<br />
London in 1993.<br />
Cassidy described Ms<br />
Judson as “one in a million,”<br />
generous, honest and “genuinely<br />
in love” with the art form of<br />
ballet.<br />
Following the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />
2011, earthquake, Ms Judson<br />
managed to get her classes up<br />
and running two weeks later at<br />
the Tai Tapu Hall.<br />
She would tell parents not to<br />
worry about fees and use what<br />
money they had on petrol to get<br />
their children to her classes.<br />
“There were many grateful<br />
parents because the children<br />
were wetting their beds and<br />
they were terrified. It was just<br />
awful.<br />
“With the little ones coming<br />
through the door I said: ‘Let’s<br />
stomp on the monster’s head,’<br />
which was very helpful when<br />
there were aftershocks and they<br />
were really frightened,” Ms<br />
Judson said.<br />
She said there were many<br />
hardships – with many of her<br />
school’s families having no<br />
homes or jobs.<br />
“We even got into a system<br />
where one parent who had a big<br />
vegetable garden would bring<br />
in tomatoes and lettuces to help<br />
other families. There was a real<br />
comradeship,” she said.<br />
Later when she heard the Tai<br />
Tapu Hall was going to be pulled<br />
down she moved her classes to<br />
Springston.<br />
Ms Judson would also buy costumes<br />
and shoes for her pupils<br />
facing hardships.<br />
Her school would run fundraisers<br />
and she contributed<br />
what money she could to get her<br />
pupils into courses both in New<br />
Zealand and overseas.<br />
Now she will spend her time<br />
working at Wilkins Bridal in<br />
Christchurch and looking after<br />
her granddaughter Harper.<br />
“It is lovely to have those interests.<br />
I love young people so I am<br />
very fortunate to be able to do<br />
this,” Mrs Judson said.

SELWYN TIMES<br />
West Melton kea<br />
crossing is all go!<br />
The kea crossing installation has been completed for West Melton Primary School on Weedons<br />
Ross Road.<br />
Senior students from the school trained as Road Patrollers with School Community Officer<br />
Constable Rick Groen on Monday morning. The patrollers learnt how to safely operate the newly<br />
installed and much awaited kea crossing to ensure their fellow students and caregivers get across<br />
the busy road safely.<br />
Kea crossings are operated by the trained patrollers along with an adult supervisor. The patrollers<br />
are taught how to find a safe gap in the traffic flow to swing the stop arms out into, to hold the<br />
pedestrians until traffic has stopped and to release pedestrians to cross once the path is clear.<br />
Sue Jackson, Principal of West Melton Primary School says the kea crossing is an opportunity for<br />
students to be involved in the community with leadership responsibilities.<br />
“We are delighted to endorse our Safe School Travel Plan by supporting our students in their<br />
leadership roles as road patrol monitors, ensuring the safety of the school community as they<br />
cross the now busy Weedons Ross Road.”<br />
The kea crossing and footpath extension north on Weedons Ross Road complete the recent<br />
shopping centre landscaping and school frontage development. Road Safety Coordinator<br />
Stephanie Hautler urges parents to use the kea crossing and try active transport.<br />
“We want our young people to be getting to school actively where they can and the kea crossing<br />
and footpath is another tool to open up routes to the community across a busy road. Caregivers<br />
need to be mindful that they are role models for all kids, not just their own and use the kea<br />
crossing to and from school when the flags are up.’’<br />
Drivers are asked to keep an eye on their speed around pedestrians, when entering and exiting<br />
the shopping centre and near the school.<br />
“This is your village and for your children to be safe getting to school you must slow down,” Mrs<br />
Hautler says.<br />
When the kea crossing is not under the control of the road patrol team the cross point operates<br />
like any other piece of road where pedestrians have to wait until the road is clear before crossing<br />
and to wave drivers through who stop to let them cross.<br />
Have your say on Water Bylaws<br />
The Council is inviting submissions to three bylaws covering key water services across the district.<br />
The current Water Supply Bylaw 2008 and the Water Race Bylaw 2008 have both been reviewed<br />
reviewed, while a new Stormwater and Drainage Bylaw <strong>2018</strong> has been drafted for consultation.<br />
The Water Supply Bylaw relates to water supplies under Council control and management across the<br />
district. It has worked well over the past 10 years but now needs to be updated to reflect changes<br />
in operations and in the district’s water needs. The updated bylaw will clarify the obligations of the<br />
Council and customers, provide flexibility in approving connections and generally make the bylaw<br />
easier to understand.<br />
The Water Race Bylaw, which relates to the Council’s water race network, has also been in place since<br />
2008, and the amended version is not significantly different. The changes mainly relate to technical<br />
aspects such as terminology and definitions, and ensuring it meets current statutory requirements.<br />
The new Stormwater and Drainage Bylaw <strong>2018</strong> provides a framework for managing the stormwater<br />
and drainage network across <strong>Selwyn</strong>. It covers development and maintenance of the network, and<br />
measures to minimize risks to the network from damage, interference or contamination.<br />
The three bylaws are open for public consultation until Wednesday 21 March. Information on the<br />
proposals, including a copy of the draft bylaw and details on making a submission, are available at<br />
www.selwyn.govt.nz/haveyoursay<br />
Open Fire Season<br />
Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) has advised the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
district is now in an Open Fire Season.<br />
No fire permit is needed to light a fire in open air in an Open Fire<br />
Season. However, you are still responsible for the fire and must<br />
ensure that the fire does not get out of control and spread to<br />
vegetation or property.<br />
Fires in the open air in urban areas must<br />
comply with the Environment Canterbury<br />
Air Regional outdoor burning measures. To<br />

Ex-cyclone Gita skims past<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> district<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> was fortunate to be spared the worst effects of ex-tropical<br />
cyclone Gita last week.<br />
On Tuesday (<strong>February</strong> 21) evening the Council declared a Civil<br />
Defence State of Emergency in response to predicted extremely<br />
heavy rainfall and high winds. While the district received sustained<br />
rainfall which caused river levels to rise and some surface flooding,<br />
the forecast weather didn’t eventuate. By Wednesday (<strong>February</strong> 22)<br />
afternoon the declaration was lifted.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Civil Defence local controller Helene Faass says the<br />
decision to declare on Tuesday evening was to allow the Council<br />
Civil Defence team to get on with the job and take action if it<br />
needed to.<br />
“The rainfall didn’t reach predicted levels, however taking a<br />
precautionary approach and declaring meant we had access to<br />
powers and resources to evacuate low-lying settlements such as<br />
the upper and lower <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts if necessary. We were also able to<br />
place other agencies on standby to assist,” she says.<br />
Coes Ford, Chamberlains Ford and Whitecliffs campgrounds<br />
were closed to campers for two nights due to the high level of the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> River.<br />
The Council would like to thank the community for its support and<br />
cooperation during the extreme weather event. Thanks also to our<br />
community response teams, staff, contractors and volunteers for<br />
their work.<br />
You can join <strong>Selwyn</strong> Gets Ready to receive vital emergency<br />
information relevant to the area where you live. Messages are sent<br />
via email and more urgent messages requiring immediate action will<br />
be sent to your mobile selwyn.getsready.net.<br />

Water meters installed in<br />
Southbridge and Rakaia Huts<br />
Southbridge and Rakaia Huts are the latest townships in line for the<br />
rollout of water meters across the district’s water supplies.<br />
Installation of water meters at households connected to these<br />
supplies will begin early next month, and is scheduled to be<br />
completed by late April.<br />
Around 90% of Council supply households across the district are<br />
already on meters, and this project will complete installations at<br />
around 315 properties in Southbridge and 106 in Rakaia Huts.<br />
Metering has been shown to reduce water consumption as it links<br />
water use to charging – so households that use less water benefit<br />
from lower charges, while those using more pay higher charges.<br />
Households with average water use will find their total charge<br />
remains similar to what they currently pay. You can help avoid<br />
incurring extra charges by monitoring your water use – see<br />
www.selwyn.govt.nz/watermetering for more information and tips<br />
on how to read your water meter.<br />

Backyard Critters<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Slimy slug-like predators of the worm world<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces a new species<br />
found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column<br />
aims to raise public awareness of biodiversity,<br />
the variety of living things around us<br />
TERRESTRIAL flatworms are<br />
flat, slug-like, free-living soil<br />
fauna with unsegmented bodies.<br />
The dimensions of flatworms,<br />
also known as turbellaria, are<br />
not constant as they can change<br />
from short (1cm) and fat, to long<br />
(12cm) and skinny (0.5cm) at<br />
will.<br />
New Zealand is thought to<br />
have about 100 species, with<br />
numerous colours and patterns.<br />
However, individuals are usually<br />
striped, dotty or a single colour.<br />
Flatworms are very similar to<br />
slugs; being delicate, soft-bodied,<br />
susceptible to desiccation and<br />
the use of mucous.<br />
They are easily damaged and<br />
collected specimens usually die<br />
and decompose very quickly to<br />
a liquid.<br />
Being sensitive to sun, these<br />
critters are always found in cool,<br />
moist, snug places against soil.<br />
They’re often hiding under plant<br />
pots, plastic, flat wood, pavers,<br />
and the like.<br />
Their ability to squeeze into<br />
small holes and crevices helps<br />
them locate and consume earthworms,<br />
slugs and snails.<br />
These predators use their<br />
mucus to catch and digest<br />
their prey, which is swallowed<br />
through their mouth located<br />
half-way along its underside.<br />
Pale coloured egg capsules can<br />
be observed in the flatworm’s<br />
body prior to laying, at which<br />
time they darken to a shiny black<br />
ball about 5mm in diameter.<br />
The most well-known New<br />
Zealand flatworm species is<br />
arthurdendyus triangulatus.<br />
This voracious earthworm<br />
SLIMY: Terrestrial flatworms<br />
are similar to slugs. (Above) –<br />
Flatworms lay pale coloured<br />
egg capsules.<br />
predator has become a major<br />
threat overseas to European<br />
earthworm species. Each flatworm<br />
can eat at least one earthworm<br />
per week.<br />
Flatworms are thought to<br />
hitch-hike in pot plants transported<br />
around the world.<br />
Lincoln students race to start year<br />
LINCOLN University has<br />
started off the academic year<br />
with its own version of reality<br />
television show, The Amazing<br />
Race.<br />
The university welcomed its<br />
new students recently by getting<br />
them to race around the campus<br />
using an app called the Wild<br />
Goose Chase.<br />
The race was organised by the<br />
Lincoln University Students’<br />
Association and featured an egg<br />
challenge, students drawing with<br />
their non-dominant hand and a<br />
gumboot throwing competition.<br />
The association also gave out<br />
goody bags and pots of noodles<br />
on the day.<br />
Other activities included<br />
giant inflatable balls and<br />
music.<br />
A media spokesman said<br />
the race was a different way<br />
for students to get to know the<br />
Lincoln campus.<br />
The university’s academic<br />
year started last week, while its<br />
orientation week started earlier<br />
this month.<br />
WELCOME TO UNI: New students ran around inside giant<br />
inflatable balls. (Right) – Lincoln University Students’<br />
Association president James Ranstead handed out noodles.<br />

Wednesday <strong>February</strong> <strong>28</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 21<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
WEEDONS AND Sefton<br />
have seized the early<br />
initiative in the top-four<br />
section of the Canterbury<br />
Country premier one-day<br />
competition.<br />
Weedons defeated<br />
Leeston-Southbridge<br />
by three wickets in a<br />
tight match played<br />
in bowler-friendly<br />
conditions at Weedons<br />
Domain.<br />
Batting first, Leeston-<br />
Southbridge made a slow<br />
but steady start before<br />
Weedons’ Jonathan Green<br />
dismissed both William<br />
Macfarlane for 17 and<br />
Chris Beatson for a duck<br />
in quick succession to<br />
have the visitors at <strong>28</strong>/2.<br />
Opening batsman Liam<br />
O’Sullivan was the only<br />
batsman to make a healthy<br />
contribution, grinding<br />
out 39 from 101 deliveries<br />
before being bowled by<br />
Green.<br />
Leeston-Southbridge<br />
were bowled out for 119<br />
in the 38th over. Weedons<br />
were able to clean up the<br />
middle order and tail<br />
with relative ease. Brad<br />
Nightingale and Green<br />
were the best of the<br />
SPORTS<br />
Weedons take tight match<br />
bowlers, both claiming<br />
three wickets.<br />
Weedons’ run chase got<br />
off to a shaky start. They<br />
found themselves two<br />
wickets down for just 10<br />
runs early. Gareth Painter<br />
and Sam Wilson were able<br />
to steady the ship by combining<br />
for a third wicket<br />
partnership of 32.<br />
However, it was the<br />
lower order that fired to<br />
get Weedons over the<br />
line. Number 6 Shannon<br />
Dunnett and No 9 Kane<br />
Meyerhoff both scoring 23<br />
runs each to see their side<br />
reach the total in the 24th<br />
over.<br />
O’Sullivan continued<br />
an impressive day of work<br />
with three wickets to<br />
finish as the best Leeston-<br />
Southbridge bowler.<br />
The other top-four match<br />
RUNS: Liam<br />
O’Sullivan<br />
was the top<br />
scorer on<br />
Saturday with<br />
39.<br />
saw competition defending<br />
champions Sefton defeat<br />
defending newcomers Cheviot<br />
by eight wickets.<br />
Andrew Laffrey and<br />
Harley James both claimed<br />

Waikirikiri<br />
may join<br />
Canty hockey<br />
league<br />
A VOTE will be taken on<br />
whether to affiliate Waikirikiri<br />
to the Canterbury Hockey<br />
Association on Wednesday<br />
night.<br />
If the vote at the association’s<br />
annual meeting is in favour of<br />
the affiliation, Waikirikiri will<br />
be able to enter teams into the<br />
Canterbury senior competition<br />
in a staged basis over a number<br />
of years.<br />
A vote in favour would mean<br />
the year 7/8 Kwik Sticks 11-aside<br />
boys and girls, senior division<br />
three (year 9 up to under-18)<br />
boys and girls and the mid-week<br />
open men’s and women’s teams<br />
will be able to be entered this<br />
year.<br />
Waikirikiri club president<br />
Lyndal Marshall says it is an<br />
exciting development which will<br />
allow them to bring new players<br />
into the game and give them a<br />
stage on which to represent their<br />
local club.<br />
Waikirikiri Hockey was<br />
formed in 2017. Until the club’s<br />
formation, players had to travel<br />
to the city to join a club.<br />
In its first year, the club attracted<br />
120 junior hockey players<br />
in 13 teams, of which 70 per<br />
cent were new to the game.<br />
Tight schedule for Lincoln Uni athlete<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
AFTER competing in the<br />
Canterbury track and field<br />
championships at the weekend,<br />
Lincoln University student Tegan<br />
Duffy will have little time to<br />
recover.<br />
The 17-year-old is about to head<br />
off to the New Zealand track and<br />
field and then the Australian<br />
junior championships – with<br />
all three events in the space of a<br />
month.<br />
She has also just started<br />
studying land and property<br />
management at Lincoln, works<br />
part-time at the Commodore<br />
Hotel, and trains six times a week<br />
at the Old Boys’ United Athletic<br />
Club.<br />
She won the under-20 long<br />
jump at the Canterbury track and<br />
field championships in Timaru<br />
with a distance of 5.64m in her<br />
fifth jump. However, Duffy didn’t<br />
compete in her other specialised<br />
event, the 100m hurdles.<br />
She is set to compete in both<br />
events at the New Zealand track<br />
and field championships from<br />
March 9-11 in Hamilton before<br />
flying to Sydney on March 12 for<br />
the Australian junior athletics<br />
championships from March 14-<br />
18.<br />
“So basically I have to get back,<br />
repack and head off again,” she<br />
said.<br />
Tegan said she started<br />
athletics as a hobby but now has<br />
aspirations for bigger things.<br />
“I am looking ahead to the<br />
junior worlds and what I need to<br />
do to qualify for that,” she said.<br />
She has to pay her own way to<br />
attend the championships, and<br />
said it would cost about $2000 to<br />
attend the Hamilton and Sydney<br />
events.<br />
“I have gone to the local<br />
community board to ask for<br />
funding and my nana Faye Kerr<br />
has helped me fundraise with<br />
my mum, Toni, and we have held<br />
some quiz nights. Also, nana has<br />
a few friends that have chipped<br />
in,” she said.<br />
For the past month, Tegan has<br />
been training harder than<br />
usual and has been pushing<br />
herself to see what her body can<br />
endure.<br />
“There has been a lot of harder<br />
running and pushing myself as<br />
hard as possible. The weights are<br />
heavier, all of that,” she said.<br />
ATHLETE: Tegan Duffy, seen<br />
here competing at last year’s<br />
New Zealand track and field<br />
championships, will be back<br />
at the same event next month<br />
looking for success in the long<br />
jump and 100m hurdles.<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
SELWYN TIMES<br />
Reliving special<br />
memories<br />
Many people have memories of their<br />
early cars.<br />
Paul’s story began 50 years ago when he<br />
met Ev. They were just 13 years old and<br />
students at Buller High School in Westport.<br />
On leaving high school, Ev shifted to<br />
Christchurch and Paul became a mechanic’s<br />
apprentice at Westport’s Ford dealership.<br />
He purchased his first car, a 100E Ford<br />
Prefect in 1972, a typical boy racer car of<br />
the day with a 105E engine, GT camshaft,<br />
Weber carburettor, lowered fat feet, and it<br />
was noisy.<br />
A year later, Paul moved up to his first<br />
Cortina, a 1963 1500cc model, beginning<br />
his love of Cortinas.<br />
“It was a great car, having started its life<br />
with the Sisters of Mercy at the Westport<br />
Catholic convent,” says Paul.<br />
In early 1974, just before he married<br />
Ev who had moved back to Westport to<br />
begin nursing training at Buller Hospital,<br />
Paul purchased a 1965 Aeroflow 1500cc<br />
Cortina. For their honeymoon, they took<br />
the Cortina on a road trip through the<br />
Haast Pass, returning via Christchurch.<br />
At the time, the Haast Pass was under<br />
construction with numerous road works,<br />
temporary one lane bridges and a shingle<br />
road between lakes Paringa and Hawea.<br />
“I enjoyed drifting around the corners<br />
without shaking the car to pieces from the<br />
corrugations in the road,” explains Paul.<br />
Eventually the 1965 Cortina was sold and<br />
over the ensuing years, Paul bought and<br />
sold a number of cars including two more<br />
Cortinas.<br />
By 2017, with fond memories of his<br />
1965 Aeroflow 1500cc Cortina, and Ev and<br />
Paul’s three daughters having grown up and<br />
moved out, the desire to own another Mark<br />
1 Cortina led to Paul purchasing a 1965<br />
‘daily runner’.<br />
Paul made a few minor mechanical<br />
repairs, touched-up the paintwork, had the<br />
front seat re-upholstered, and fitted a new<br />
radiator and interior carpet. Then, armed<br />
with spare parts and a well-equipped<br />
toolbox, Ev and Paul set off on a road trip to<br />
mark 50 years since they first met, retracing<br />
the route of their honeymoon.<br />
During the first leg from Christchurch to<br />
Westport, a few minor repairs were needed<br />
however Paul says the car performed<br />
extremely well. They played 1970s music<br />
and stopped to take photos at the same<br />
places as on their first trip.<br />
“It was awesome, a really great trip down<br />
memory road,” says Paul.<br />
Paul noticed a few differences: more<br />

more motorhomes and tourists on the<br />
road, Lake Pukaki looked quite different<br />
with the dam completed, and there was no<br />
need to de-dust the clothes as the road is<br />
now tarsealed.<br />
“In 1974, the cost of fuel for a trip from<br />
Westport to Hokitika in the same model<br />
Cortina cost $3.48. In 2017 it cost us<br />
$43.62,” advises Paul who says it was a trip<br />
of a lifetime.<br />
“To do the trip again in the same year<br />
1965 Cortina was extra special,” adds Ev.<br />

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS<br />
Auto Electrical Expertise close by<br />
The frequently hot weather experienced<br />
this summer could mean your vehicle’s air<br />
conditioning needs servicing to ensure<br />
your heater functions properly over winter.<br />
Your vehicle’s auto electrical needs<br />
are easily sorted with Newlands Auto<br />
Electrical close by in Rolleston.<br />
The team at Newlands are specialists<br />
in auto electrical work, as well as air<br />
conditioning and radio communications<br />
for commercial and personal vehicles.<br />
They also carry a wide range of LED<br />
lights. These include 4WD light bars;<br />
directional or standard rear lighting<br />
for a vehicle or trailer (for brakes and<br />
indicators); courtesy LED lighting suitable<br />
for a camper, caravan, bus or other larger<br />
vehicle; and LED lighting for agricultural<br />
machinery.<br />
They only stock quality fittings, sold<br />
at competitive prices. This is due to their<br />
direct buying capacity, with brands such as<br />
Hella and Narva available in store, along<br />
with Newlands’ own brand of LED lighting<br />
products fitted with Philips parts, ensuring<br />
they are long-lasting reliable lights.<br />
In addition to lighting, Newlands<br />
Auto Electrical carries a broad range of<br />
automotive products at their retail store in<br />
Rolleston. Whether you require a battery,<br />
electrical products, communications<br />
equipment, power tools, hand tools or<br />
windscreen wiper blades, they can help.<br />
If they do not have what you need, they<br />
will do their best to have it there within the<br />
day or overnight, and will deliver if you are<br />
not too far from Rolleston.<br />
Newlands has the latest technological<br />
top-of-the-line digital battery tester<br />
meaning they can quickly and safely test<br />
your battery. With no need to disconnect<br />
the battery, it will take just a few minutes so<br />
pop in before the weather cools for a quick<br />
check so your battery is capable of doing<br />
the job when winter comes. You might also<br />
like to book your vehicle in for a pre-winter<br />
check.<br />
Worn out wiper blades mean poor<br />
visibility and driving in inclement<br />
conditions extremely dangerous yet<br />
replacing these is a task that is often<br />
overlooked. If your wiper blades are<br />
streaking or over a year old, they<br />
will be past their best and not up<br />
to the job. A visit to Newlands<br />
will sort the problem and if you<br />
take your vehicle to them for a<br />
WOF inspection, they will also<br />
check your wiper blades and fit<br />
new ones should you require.<br />
The reliable experienced team at<br />
Newlands Auto Electrical include electrical<br />
technicians, a radio communications<br />
engineer, and parts salespeople. They can<br />
take care of all aspects of your auto electrical<br />
needs in a fast and efficient manner. After<br />
all, this is a company with over 80 years’<br />
experience in the business.<br />
With Newlands Auto Electrical close<br />
by at 825 Jones Road on the Izone side<br />
of Rolleston, there is no need to drive<br />
into town for your auto electrical needs.<br />
Just give them a call on 03 347 3476 or<br />
0800 152771, or pop into their premises<br />
between 8am and 5pm, Monday-Friday<br />
where they will be more than happy to<br />
assist you.<br />

Late summer greenhouse tips<br />
Keep productivity levels<br />
pumping by prioritising<br />
some key tasks. Diana<br />
Noonan reports<br />
1. Water warning<br />
Don’t water and work among<br />
your plants at the same time.<br />
Late summer sees greenhouse<br />
plants struggling to support<br />
ripening fruit and masses of<br />
foliage. When you water, foliage<br />
becomes heavier, and plants<br />
lean in all directions, including<br />
over pathways. Foliage also<br />
becomes more fragile as it takes<br />
in moisture. If you’re working<br />
around your plants immediately<br />
after watering, you’re likely to<br />
knock off fruit and break stems,<br />
and the last thing you want this<br />
late in the season is damaged<br />
plant material that then becomes<br />
a site for disease to take hold.<br />
Water early in the morning and<br />
keep out of the greenhouse until<br />
the warmth of the day has dried<br />
the plants off.<br />
2. Stress busters<br />
Plants have been in the ground<br />
for several months now, and are<br />
becoming exhausted from the<br />
task of producing and ripening<br />
fruit. This kind of stress is the<br />
open door through which pests<br />
and disease leap when given half<br />
a chance, so pamper your plants<br />
like never before. Water deeply<br />
to avoid soil drying out. Nourish<br />
plants with low nitrogen liquid<br />
feed (nitrogen at this stage in the<br />
season will only promote leaf<br />
growth at the expense of ripening<br />
fruit). Be more vigilant with<br />
ventilation to avoid heat stress.<br />
4. Pick and pinch<br />
Plants have enough to<br />
contend with in late summer<br />
without having to support fruit<br />
that’s already mature. Harvest<br />
as soon as possible and take<br />
extra care to ensure you don’t<br />
damage stems as you pick. If<br />
you’re in a region where flowers<br />
or young green fruit just don’t<br />
have a chance of developing or<br />
reaching maturity, or even of<br />
growing to a size where it can be<br />
picked to ripen inside, nip out<br />
the no-hopers. Sacrificing them<br />
will make way for other fruit to<br />
mature more quickly.<br />
5. Prune<br />
If your vines are tapping on the<br />
roof of the greenhouse, it’s time to<br />
nip out the centres. Excess height<br />
will only shade plants below.<br />
Besides which, at this stage,<br />
further flowers are unlikely to<br />
have time to produce fruit that<br />
will mature. Prune off dying<br />
lower foliage Urban to avoid Section<br />
it attracting<br />
disease.<br />
Urban Section<br />
BUMPER CROP:<br />
Don’t work around<br />
greenhouse plants<br />
heavy with water –<br />
you risk damaging<br />
them. Harvest as<br />
soon as possible<br />
and save your<br />
plants the work of<br />
further supporting<br />
fruit that is already<br />
mature.<br />
6. Open those vents!<br />
Fungal diseases are<br />
synonymous with late summer.<br />
Encourage airflow by opening<br />
vents in the morning and leaving<br />
them partially open at night.<br />
When days are warm, leave the<br />
door open but remember to leave<br />
a netting covering over the gap –<br />
birds are as keen on ripening fruit<br />
as you are.<br />
7. Out with the old, in with<br />
the new<br />
If a plant is failing at this late<br />
stage, don’t dilly-dally – whip<br />
it out of the ground. The space<br />
left behind will allow for better<br />
airflow or, if you have another<br />
plant to go in its place, top up<br />
the soil with fresh compost and<br />
animal manure (taking care not<br />
to disturb the roots of<br />
neighbouring plants) and pop it<br />
in.<br />
8. Waste not, want not<br />
Blossom-end rot and tomato<br />
split are all late summer problems<br />
but they don’t spell the end of a<br />
fruit. Keep an eye on your harvest<br />
and pick any fruit with signs of<br />
early disease or imperfections.<br />
Washed and trimmed, they can<br />
be popped in the freezer until you<br />
have enough for processing into<br />
chutney or soup.<br />
9. Keep supporting<br />
Your plants are tired. You may<br />
be too, but it’s more important<br />
than ever to keep vining growth<br />
well supported. Get out there with<br />
the ties before the plants bend<br />
over and snap or are weighed<br />
down and broken with the weight<br />
of fruit.<br />
10. Select your seed<br />
Prepare for seed saving<br />
by observing the success, or<br />
otherwise, of your plants and<br />
selecting fruit from the best. If<br />
you want to save seed that will<br />
produce fruit the same as that<br />
from which it has come, select<br />
from non-hybrid plants.<br />

Lawns Love<br />
Autumn<br />
We are about to embark on one of the best times of year to tend to your<br />
lawns. The temperatures are dropping so get new lawns down, and tend<br />
to your existing one as well. Preparation is key for lawn establishment,<br />
so make sure you put the good stuff down if you want the good stuff to<br />
grow. Our Lawn Construction Mix is ideal for preparing, and then sowing<br />
in. When choosing your seed, make sure it is fit for purpose so you get the<br />
best results from it. The seed is designed for different climates and areas<br />
(shady, full sun all day, wet areas) so talk to your local seed specialist to get<br />
advice on what seed is going to suit your needs.<br />
For existing lawns, a lush green look is something we strive for. This<br />
doesn’t come without some work. Continuous maintenance is required,<br />
fertilising, watering, mowing, and removing weeds to name a few.<br />
Intelligro Lawn Fertiliser, and slow release fertilisers are packed with<br />
essential nutrients for growth and development, greening, and disease<br />
protection. Make sure you fertilise early morning, or late evening and<br />
water thoroughly afterward. For patches that need repairing, you can use<br />
our 20L Premium Lawn Soil. This mix is great for those small jobs, and you<br />
can sow your seed straight into it. Please bear in mind that any products<br />
that contain soil are not “weed free”, and weed seeds spread in a variety<br />
of ways, so there is a chance of weed growth.<br />

or visit our facebook page: www.facebook.com/igro.co.nz<br />
NEW ENTRANCE: 261 Manion Road, Weedons<br />

Paws for Reading<br />
Thursday, 3.30pm, 3.45pm,<br />
4pm and 4.15pm<br />
Read to a furry friend. Is your<br />
child shy or reluctant about reading?<br />
Do they need to gain confidence<br />
in reading aloud? Reading<br />
to a gentle and patient furry<br />
friend can help. <strong>Selwyn</strong> libraries<br />
are partnering with members of<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Dog Training Club to<br />
offer “Paws for Reading”. Book<br />
your child in to spend 15min<br />
reading to a friendly, carefully<br />
selected dog.Can this help your<br />
child’s reading? Similar programmes<br />
have been shown to<br />
improve reading fluency between<br />
10 to 30 per cent over time, however,<br />
no results are guaranteed.<br />
Take a book that your child has<br />
read before or choose one from<br />
the library before the session.<br />
Most sessions will be on the<br />
mobile library bus. Dogs will be<br />
monitored by its owner/handler.<br />
A library staff member will also<br />
be on hand at all times during<br />
the session, however, the sessions<br />
encourage children to read<br />
to the dog with minimal adult<br />
intervention. Do not book your<br />
child into a session if they are<br />
nervous or anxious around dogs.<br />
Also, do not book your child into<br />
a session if they have a known<br />
allergy to dogs.<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
A home you will<br />
love to live in<br />
The new Faringdon showhome village is a great place to see building and home<br />
décor ideas and while there, check out Jennian Homes’ new showhome.<br />
This cleverly designed and very well<br />
appointed four bedroom 224sqm family<br />
home will have you imagining living there.<br />
“We chose one of our favourite plans,”<br />
says Sue Prendergast, Client Liaison,<br />
Jennian Homes’ Canterbury North.<br />
From the street, the mix of Cedar and<br />
Rockcote plaster finish cladding is striking<br />
while the well-appointed siting of the<br />
house on its 663sqm section takes full<br />
advantage of indoor/outdoor living while<br />
maximising the sun through all aspects of<br />
the day.<br />
There is a large open plan kitchen,<br />
dining and living area as well as a separate<br />
lounge/media room.<br />
“The kitchen is the heart of any home so<br />
we wanted to make it a real feature in our<br />
showhome,” adds Sue.<br />
Lighting, tiles, careful design, a scullery,<br />
and great utilisation of indoor/outdoor<br />
flow all contribute to achieving this.<br />
Those who enjoy relaxing in a lounger<br />
with a good book or glass of wine will love<br />
the extensive deck. This can be accessed<br />
from the dining area, kitchen or master<br />
bedroom. A sheltered recess off the<br />
kitchen offers a great place for breakfast<br />
or a morning coffee while the portico out<br />
from the living space is a perfect spot for<br />
alfresco dining. The result is a peaceful<br />
enchanting setting overlooking the<br />
professionally landscaped garden complete<br />
with water feature.<br />
The master bedroom has both walk-in<br />
robe and a plush ensuite, complete with<br />
generous walk-in shower. The large main<br />
bathroom has a freestanding bath with<br />
tiled feature wall as a backdrop giving<br />
the room a really luxuriant look and feel.<br />
There is a separate toilet and laundry,<br />
while located beside the true double<br />
garage is a storage room which would be<br />
equally ideal as a small workshop.<br />
This home boasts many quality<br />
characteristics like the feature wallpapered<br />
walls, floor to ceiling tiling in both<br />
bathrooms, hardwood decking and<br />
television recesses that make you feel like<br />
you do not want to leave.<br />
“It’s a beautiful home. Our brief was a<br />
designer home for a young modern family<br />
and it’s certainly met this while allowing<br />
us to showcase many different techniques<br />
that can be applied when building a home<br />
these days,” explains Sue.<br />
Jennian Homes’ new Rolleston<br />
showhome has been designed for family<br />
living. You will find it at 7 Lemonwood<br />
Drive in Faringdon; open for viewing<br />
12noon to 4pm, Wednesdays to Sundays.
