SELWYN SOUNDS organisers 

are guaranteeing changes to 

the bar set-up for 2019, to avoid 

similar problems to Saturday’s 

event. 

Just under 10,000 poured 

into the Lincoln Domain event 

to see a star studded day-long 

16 Page glossy lift out 

line-up headed by Jimmy 

Barnes. 

But long queues to buy 

alcoholic beverages and the fact 

it sold out early sent festival-goers 

to social media to complain. 

Promoter David Parlane 

said more bars or a bigger bar 

would be in place for next 

year’s event. 

“It’s our second year in, we’ve 

learnt and we’ll improve,” he 

said. Apart from the beverage 

issues, Mr Parlane said the concert 

was a “blast.” 

“It was a massive day, a massive 

crowd, we put on some 

fantastic acts. It was a concert 

with some really great international 

acts that entertained just 

Pages 16-17 

It was a ‘blast’ says promoter 

under 10,000, it was a bit of a 

blast.” 

“It was a great music concert. 

We are not a wine and beer 

festival, we’re a music concert, 

that’s what you come for and 

that’s what we run and we ran 

that extremely well,” he said. 

Planning was well under way 

for next year’s event, he said.

Concern 

over 

quarry 

truck 

numbers 

• By Emily O’Connell 

ONE-HUNDRED-and-twenty-five 

truck movements every hour. 

That’s what Weedons and 

Templeton residents may face if the 

proposed quarry near their areas goes 

ahead. 

Fulton Hogan says the quarry, 

which will be on a 170ha section 

of land on Dawsons, Curraghs and 

Jones Rds, will be there for up to 40 

years. 

The company told Western News it 

is anticipating 1500 truck movements 

in or out of the site a day. 

Templeton Residents’ Association 

chairman Garry Kilday is concerned 

about the large number of trucks on 

roads which are already busy. 

“Fifteen hundred will go past a 

specific point everyday over a 12- 

hour period. Now that’s 125 truck 

movements per hour,” he said. 

Fulton Hogan said the time and 

days the quarry would be open 

was part of its resource consent 

application, which the company won’t 

divulge yet.

from the editor’s desk 

ANOTHER SELWYN Sounds has come 

and gone, and with it has been the good, 

bad and possibly the ugly. 

Yes, the organisers will have to make 

some changes for 2019 if they want to keep 

getting those return festival-goers. 

The time it took to buy a beer, and the fact it ran out, was 

simply not good enough. The event is now bearing the brunt of 

those mistakes via bad publicity on Facebook and elsewhere. 

The time it took to get out of the venue has also been a talking 

point. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Far from it. 

There was plenty of water, soft drink and food stalls, and of 

course the music was great. 

But they must get it right for everyone next year.

Delay for Leeston cycleway 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

RISING COSTS: The Leeston-Doyleston cycleway will be 

delayed because the project is over budget. 

THE LEESTON-Doyleston 

cycleway will be delayed because 

the project is over budget by 

more than half a million dollars. 

The cost of the project has 

risen from its original estimation 

of $204,000 to $895,000. 

As a result, the district council 

will postpone the project and 

re-introduce it in the draft 2018- 

2028 Long Term Plan process. 

Consultation on the revised 

project and funding is expected 

to be re-opened for public consultation 

in April. 

It comes after the district 

council ran into a number of 

technical challenges during its 

design phase of the cycleway. 

The main issue was getting the 

correct slope for the cycleway so 

pedestrians and cyclists can use 

it comfortably. 

The district council has had 

problems with low-lying land 

along the road which is prone to 

flooding. 

It also needs to seek approvals 

to use private land alongside 

Leeston Rd. 

The idea for a cycleway along 

Leeston Rd was first put forward 

to the district council in 2014. 

The district council’s transportation 

asset manager Andrew 

Mazey said survey and design 

work has since been carried out. 

He said there was a requirement 

to make it as safe as possible 

by shifting it further away 

from the edge of the road and 

passing traffic. 

Selwyn Times first reported 

in August, 2016, a link between 

Doyleston and Leeston was 

put into the annual budget for 

2016/2017. 

The district council’s transportation 

asset manager Andrew 

Mazey said survey and design 

work has since been carried out. 

There was a requirement to 

make it as safe as possible by 

shifting it further away from 

the edge of the road and passing 

traffic. Mr Mazey said it is 

planned to have available in the 

2018/19 programme. 

The district council has been 

in discussions with the New 

Zealand Transport Agency on 

having the project subsided as 

part of its 2018-21 Land Transport 

Programme. 

If successful, funding needed 

to be provided by the district 

council will be reduced by 51 per 

cent. 

District councillor Pat McEvedy 

said he does not consider 

the project over budget - it has 

just got a more realistic budget 

now. 

“You don’t really know what 

the budget is going to be until 

you actually get the other details. 

“I know our community is 

looking forward to us having 

this so I am sure they want us to 

make sure we do a really good 

job of it ,” Mr McEvedy said.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Community 

board told 

off for poor 

reporting 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

MALVERN Community Board 

members have been given a rap 

over the knuckles for not getting 

their monthly reports in. 

Board chairwoman Jenny 

Gallagher told members in her 

chair’s report she was again disappointed 

that not everyone had 

sent their reports. 

“How as a board are we expected 

to help our committees if we 

do not receive reports on issues 

that they have?” she said. 

The reports cover committee 

meetings board members have attended 

over the month and issues 

in need of addressing. 

The board held its monthly 

meeting last week. Each board 

member is expected to supply a 

report. 

Mrs Gallagher told Selwyn 

Times it makes it very difficult 

when community committees 

make requests through their 

board members. 

“The reason behind me wanting 

reports is so we can help our 

communities because that is what 

we are there for,” she said.

Tai Tapu’s new principal 

‘finding the right balance’ 

Tai Tapu 

School 

principal 

John Kane 

writes 

about his 

new role 

I WAS appointed to the 

position of principal at 

Tai Tapu School at the 

beginning of this year. 

Prior to this I was 

principal at Star of the Sea 

School in Sumner. 

My career in education 

began 22 years ago and 

I have taught in remote 

Aboriginal missions in 

the Australian outback, 

private preparatory schools 

in central London and for 

the last 10 years here in 

Christchurch. 

It has been wonderful 

teaching in different 

countries and at both 

ends of the educational 

spectrum. 

I reside in Sumner with 

my wife, Michelle and 

four-year-old daughter Isla. 

The one constant in 

education is change. 

It’s incredible to see how 

education has changed 

with modern technology 

and 21st-century teaching 

and learning practices. 

That being said a lot has 

remained the same and so 

it should. 

For me as a school 

principal it is about finding 

the right balance between 

modern teaching practices 

and fundamental teaching 

practices that have been 

around for decades. 

Schools should be a 

reflection of our changing 

society. 

We cannot expect to have 

a 1980s view of the world 

and then teach with that 

mindset. 

The world is changing 

by the minute and as 

educators we need to do 

our best to equip our 

children with the necessary 

skills, knowledge and 

values to enable them 

to make a worthwhile 

contribution to society in 

the future. 

More than anything 

else I want our kids to 

be thoughtful and kind 

citizens. 

I am very honoured to 

be the Tai Tapu School 

principal. 

The school has a 

wonderful reputation in 

educational circles and the 

school has been completely 

redesigned and built to 

accommodate 21st-century 

teaching and learning. 

In my humble opinion 

the learning environment 

has little impact on 

learning. 

It can certainly assist 

and facilitate things such 

as technology but it is the 

quality of the teachers in 

each learning environment 

which will have the greatest 

impact on learning. 

I’m very proud to be the 

leader of a wonderfully 

creative, innovative and 

experienced teaching team 

and this is backed by a 

very supportive parent 

community.

Quarry truck 

numbers 

concern 

residents 

•From page 1 

Mr Kilday said the company 

had “completely thrown their 

neighbourhood and community 

into chaos.” 

A Fulton Hogan spokesman 

said if resource consent is 

granted for the quarry “it 

will not operate until new 

access roads have been built to 

accommodate the increase in 

truck movements.” 

He said the company was 

aware of the community’s 

concerns about more truck 

movements. 

“We intend to work 

collaboratively with the 

community and local authorities 

to position our quarry entrance 

so that the majority of truck 

movements will access and exit 

via State Highway 1, rather than 

using local roads,” he said. 

Templeton and Weedons 

residents have expressed their 

concerns about the potential 

health risks, water issues and 

devaluing of properties at public 

meetings in the past couple of 

months.

‘Water and Light’, it’s all around us and nowhere 

more so than on the Banks Peninsula. 

As small outcrop of volcanic rock jutting out into 

the Southern Ocean we are surrounded on all 

sides, and nowhere 

is that interplay 

between water and 

light more evident. 

The Little River 

Gallery is proud to 

host Philip Beadle’s 

latest work, inspired 

by the landscapes 

of the Plains and 

Peninsula. 

Using a mixture of oil, watercolour, drypoint 

and monotype, Philip’s work is as varied as the 

landscapes he depicts. 

Christchurch based Philip Beadle, whether 

working with the human form or drawing 

inspiration from the low sun on water agitated 

by wind, uses the Canterbury environment to 

inform his work. 

Warm and inviting, cold and forgiving, water 

and light are constant but also forever changing. 

‘Water and Light’ is showing at 

Little River Gallery from 10th March 

to 4th April.

Our People 

SELWYN TIMES 

Dave Topp 

Long-serving committee man 

Tawera Memorial Hall 

Committee chairman 

Dave Topp, 73, has 

been serving on the 

committee for 

nearly 20 years. He 

spoke to Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

How long have you lived 

in Springfield for and what 

brought you out here? 

I have been here for more than 

20 years. What brought me here 

was I married my second wife. 

She was from Springfield. 

Has the township changed a 

lot? 

It has changed a lot. Probably 

more in the last few years. There 

have been quite a few things 

done around the place. We 

have got a very active township 

committee and they do a great 

job. There have been quite a few 

new houses in the last few years. 

After the railway moved out, the 

town was cut in half. It slowly 

built back up. There are new 

people who moved into the area. 

A cross-section of people – some 

old and some younger. 

How long have you been on 

the Tawera Memorial Hall 

Committee for and why have 

you stayed there? 

I have been on there for 19 

years this year. I think a lot 

has changed there in that time. 

Back in those days, it was pretty 

relaxed, we had meetings every 

month. Now there is a bit more 

to it. You do a bit more paper 

work. I have enjoyed it, this is 

my third term as chairman. It 

has been a learning curve for 

me. Most importantly, dealing 

with other people. I do a lot of 

dealings with the district council 

and the people I have dealt with 

from the council have been very 

good and very helpful. I’ve been 

lucky, they have always helped 

me in the things I needed to do 

right from the start. We had a 

lot of help and support from the 

TALENTED: Springfield resident Dave Topp holding the trophies he has won over the years.

Malvern Community Board. 

Is there any reason why this 

hall is so special to you? 

It is a great hall. We have 

had a lot of comments over the 

years from people who come to 

Springfield. We have had people 

say it is probably one of the best 

halls in Selwyn. 

What was your biggest 

achievement on the hall 

committee? 

We have achieved quite a bit, 

especially in the last few years. 

We have upgraded the kitchen, 

we put up a new boundary fence, 

we have done quite a few things 

inside. Just recently, we did 

internal painting – we have still 

got some more to do but we are 

pretty good. I have got a great 

committee – all great people 

willing to help. 

Does the hall have any 

historical significance? 

When the hall was first built, 

the money was raised by the 

committee. That was a pretty big 

thing. It is over 60-years-old. It 

didn’t cost as much as it would 

cost today but it was a great 

achievement. 

Has anyone significant visited 

the hall? 

No, but years ago they used 

to have films once a week every 

Saturday night. They had dances 

on a regular basis. They used 

to have interesting people. 

They have got a local artist 

Mel Parsons, she has had two 

concerts here. We have got local 

groups here who do dancing 

several nights a week. Some of 

the locals have a ball once a year. 

You have supported the 

Malvern A & P Show for a long 

time and you do well in their 

veggie competition. Tell me 

about that? 

They have a great competition 

every year in the vegetable 

section of the Malvern show. I 

have been growing vegetables for 

about 50 years. I have actually 

won the trophy for the last nine 

years. Nineteen years I have 

been an exhibitor at the Malvern 

show. 

What has made you support 

the Malvern show for so long? 

It is a local show and I like 

to support the locals. It is wellorganised 

and a great family day 

out. Very seldom the weather 

packs a sad. Last year, it was a 

bit damp but it is a great country 

show. The next show is March 

24. 

Are you passionate about 

gardening and vegetables? 

Yes I am. 

Do you have any top 

gardening tips? 

I think the most important 

thing is getting the ground 

preparation right. Get fertiliser 

and water and watch them grow. 

Get the weeds down. 

The trouble up here in 

Springfield is we are at a higher 

altitude so you have got to be 

a bit careful, especially in the 

spring because the frost gets 

the plants. You have got to be 

prepared to cover them.

in changing Springfield 

This year has been pretty good 

but some years we get frost right 

up until December. Every year is 

a bit different. 

What is your favourite 

vegetable to grow? 

I like most things really. 

Carrots and parsnips. Parsnips 

can be tricky to grow. It was a 

wee bit trickier last year because 

it was a bit drier. 

In the last few years, I have 

been growing pumpkins. I think 

this year, I have got one quite 

big and they usually get up to 

50kg. 

You often give your vegetables 

away at the Malvern show? 

We have got a pretty big 

garden and I like to give stuff 

away at times. Sometimes you 

get too many cauliflowers and 

can’t eat them all at the same 

time. You can freeze some of that 

stuff of course. 

What else are you passionate 

about? 

I play indoor bowls at winter 

time. I have been playing bowls 

for more than 50 years. We have 

still got a club functioning – 

Springfield Indoor Bowls. We 

have been pretty good in the 

Malvern competitions. 

We have our ups and downs. 

The main thing is you enjoy 

yourself and that is what it is all 

about. You meet a lot of other 

people. 

We have got about 12 members 

I think, which is not too bad. 

We had less for a while. We were 

struggling. Some of the members 

travel from Darfield every week 

to play here. 

Have you had many 

successes? 

I’ve had quite a few wins. I 

won the men’s singles champions 

of champions competition 

in Malvern. I have won it 

twice. That was a pretty good 

achievement for me. There 

were five different clubs in the 

Malvern area. I was pretty 

wrapped with that. Probably 

don’t play as well now as I used 

to. 

I hear your wife Judith does a 

DIGGING IN: Dave Topp has won several awards for his vegetables at the Malvern show. 

lot of work for the community 

and has a gift for cooking? 

She is passionate about 

cooking. She takes suppers to 

the meetings, she has got a great 

passion for cooking. People 

comment on it. She does as much 

work at the hall as I do. 

Do you have a favourite dish 

she makes? 

I like them all really. She 

makes a really good egg and 

bacon pie. Her fruit cake is pretty 

good and also her chocolate cake 

– people rave over that. 

How long have you been 

married for? 

We are 21 years this year. We 

met years ago – 50 odd years 

ago. I worked in Springfield in 

those days. We met up then and 

went out for a while then we sort 

of drifted apart and went our 

separate ways. Then Judith lost 

her husband 22 years ago and we 

met up again. 

Where did you grow up? 

I was born in Rotherham, 

North Canterbury. Born at the 

local hospital there – there is 

no hospital any longer. That is 

where I was born and bred. I 

went to primary school there 

and secondary at Rangiora High 

School. I worked at Springfieldthat 

was my first job and then 

Ashburton. I mainly did farm 

work. 

Are there any projects you 

are excited about that are 

happening in Springfield? 

They are putting a walkway in 

between the Springfield Domain 

and the township. Just about 

completed actually. They have 

done a great job. People can walk 

from the camp or anywhere they 

want. They can walk on the side 

of the road – they have got their 

own separate walkway and that 

has been a great project. 

You are pretty busy, is 

there anything else you are 

passionate about that we 

missed? 

I am pretty passionate about 

vintage machinery. I have got 

my own vintage tractor. I am 

quite involved in that. I go 

to vintage meetings around 

Malvern. I have also been up to 

North Canterbury and Waipara. 

I am passionate about vintage 

machinery, it is a good hobby. I 

am in the process of restoring a 

tractor plough at the moment. 

Haven’t had time to finish it 

yet but I am working on it. My 

vintage tractor is a David Brown 

cropmaster, 1951. It does use a 

bit of fuel but I don’t use it that 

much. It is great to see people 

restoring and preserving vintage 

machinery because a lot of it has 

been lost over the years. 

We have got our big vintage 

event at Kirwee on the 23rd, 

24 th , 25 th of this month. It is the 

20 th anniversary of the New 

Zealand Vintage Machinery 

Club. That is a big weekend. 

It is the same weekend as the 

Malvern show. I will take my 

tractor there.

Explore the heritage 

of Hororata and Beyond 

The Hororata Community Trust’s project, ‘Heritage of 

Hororata and Beyond’ allows people to discover the 

area’s diverse and rich pioneering history. Heritage 

properties in the area include Gunyah Country Estate, 

Terrace Station, Homebush Stables, Cotons’ Cottage 

and Hororata Museum, Washpen Falls, Glentunnel 

Museum, Steventon Homestead, Rockwood Station, The 

Point Station, St John’s Church and Coleridge Power 

Station. Many of the properties have public open days 

throughout the year or are open by appointment; details 

can be found at www.hororata.org.nz. 

This year the project is focussing on the Heritage 

of Water, learning how private and county schemes 

developed from the late 19th century. A bus tour is 

planned to follow the journey of water from the high 

country to the plains. This will take place on Sunday 11 

March and has proved to be so popular it has sold out. 

For those who have 

missed out on the 

bus tour there is 

still the opportunity 

to explore the 

district’s heritage by 

visiting five heritage 

properties and 

museums, making this 

a great day to get out 

and discover what the 

district has to offer. 

Terrace Station was the home of Sir John Hall and 

is still lived in by his descendants. Sir John was the 

parliamentary advocate for the Women’s Suffrage 

movement and we are now celebrating the 125th 

anniversary of this event. There will be a display and 

information about the Women’s Suffrage movement and 

other displays. 

Gunyah Estate, built in 

1912 by a son of Sir John 

Hall, offers guided tours of 

the homestead. At Guynah 

you can stroll through the 

gardens and discover the 

original farm building. 

Cotons’ Cottage and 

Hororata Museum contain a wide range of artefacts, 

archives and photographs relating to the history of our 

district, including an automotive and musical displays. 

Glentunnel Museum hosts an extensive collection of 

items relating to the history of the area which has seen 

much rural industrialism, particularly the pottery and 

brickworks. 

Rockwood Station has a historical homestead set within 

a beautiful woodland garden which includes English trees 

and rhododendrons, bordered by 100 acres of native 

bush. Enjoy a picnic in the garden and a stroll on the 

bushwalk. 

Properties open on 

11 March are: 

• Terrace Station 

• Gunyah Estate 

• Cotons’ Cottage and 

Hororata Museum 

• Glentunnel Museum 

• Rockwood Station 

Properties will charge an entry 

fee at their gate. Each property 

offers something different and 

a visit to them will provide a 

varied and interesting glimpse 

into our pioneering past. 

From 10am – 2pm at the Hororata 

Domain there will be a display 

on the heritage of the rural 

water scheme, information on 

properties in the area and details 

to help you find your way around.

Your Local Views 

A reader responds to the 

article about Selwyn MP 

Amy Adams’ concerns 

over the impact the 

Christchurch Southern 

Motorway Stage 2 will 

have on West Melton 

roads 

Julie Sims – The New 

Zealand Transport Agency 

is firing back to Amy Adams 

purely because they do not 

want to lose face. 

We have lived in West 

Melton for 11 years and that 

particular corner at the BP 

is very dangerous. I have 

seen potential accident after 

potential accident and it’s 

only a matter of time before 

somebody is killed. How do 

we safely get our kids from 

the Wilfield Residential 

Sub-division to West Melton 

School safely. 

NZTA’s answer to that was 

a piddly barrier just past the 

intersection and right before 

the 100km zone. My kids have 

almost been collected at this 

piddly crossing as cars go way 

too fast down here and kids 

don’t have the mental capacity 

at primary school to judge 

how fast a car is going. 

We have been told that 

NZTA will not put lights up at 

the intersection of Weedons 

Ross Rd and State Highway 73 

as it’s too costly. 

Bullocks to them as it has 

become a very dangerous 

intersection. 

We said: 

Strong gusts of wind 

caused a campervan 

to roll on Christchurch 

Akaroa Rd last week 

You said: 

Louise Rawlings – They 

shouldn’t have been on the 

road in the winds on that 

day. 

Andrea Heffernan 

– That road is dicey at the 

best of times with a car. I am 

surprised the New Zealand 

Transport Agency hasn’t 

put restrictions on large 

campervans. 

Holly Traxler-Puddle – I 

hope the people are safe but 

I am sure the van insurance 

does not cover a one-car 

accident. 

ManaMichelle Hardy 

– We travelled that road 

on Sunday and it was quite 

calm on the Akaroa side but 

once over the hill onto the 

Christchurch side it was awful, 

and we were in a four-wheel 

drive.

Broadfield School gets ready 

One of Selwyn’s oldest primary schools, Broadfield, is about to celebrate 

150 years. Georgia O’Connor-Harding reports 

A LARGE celebration 

stretching over three days 

will begin on Friday to mark 

Broadfield School’s 150th jubilee 

celebrations. 

They include a tour including a 

tour of the Broadfield Gardens, a 

formal jubilee dinner and fete. 

The start of the jubilee will be 

marked by the school’s oldest 

living past pupil Ted Smith, 97 

and a current pupil, his great, 

great nephew Hayden Lineham, 

7, planting a scarlet oak tree. 

The last tree was planted 25 

years ago when the school celebrated 

its 125th jubilee. 

The planting will be followed 

by the cutting of a cake by the 

school’s youngest pupil Matilda 

Hansen, 5, and a past pupil

oak tree to mark the opening 

the 150th jubilee.

Margaret Morrish – who was 

awarded a Queen’s Service Medal 

for services to heritage preservation. 

Hayden is a fifth generation 

family member to attend the 

school. 

His great, great great grandad 

George first started at Broadfield 

in 1889. 

Hayden’s mother Rachel Smith 

also attended the school and now 

teaches part time. 

She said the school is basically 

the same as it was years ago and 

it is lucky to still be open. 

“The community is still really 

involved with the school. It is a 

real family atmosphere. All the 

teachers know all the children’s 

name,” Miss Smith said. 

One of her favourite memories 

was riding her pony to school - 

which pupils can still do today if 

they wish. 

Her other two children will be 

starting later this year. 

Leading up to the event, the 

school has put itself on the map 

by running a fundraiser which 

has led to the display of 20 scarecrows 

in its Shands Rd paddock. 

The scarecrow project was also 

a way of promoting the school’s 

fete on Sunday - which will feature 

80 stalls, live entertainment 

and entertainment for children 

including a bouncy castle. 

Businesses have got on board 

with the project, either sponsoring 

a scarecrow at $1000 or 

delivering their own scarecrow to 

get behind the event. 

Flick the Fireman, Lieutenant 

Dan, Pine Pete, Harvey Tech and 

Adam Currie were some of the 

scarecrows sponsored by businesses. 

The funds raised will go 

towards a towards a jubilee 

pavilion structure to be installed 

over the school’s netball court 

area. 

The project is estimated to cost 

more than $100,000. 

Jubilee committee member 

Belinda McMillan, who came up 

with the scarecrow initiative, said 

the scarecrows are a fairly large 

talking point in Selwyn. 

She said the project has 

been massive and everyone 

now knows where Broadfield 

School is. 

Fun and exercise 

all year round 

Lagoon Pools import and install quality fibreglass swimming pools. To compliment the pools 

they supply good quality equipment including salt water chlorinators, heat pumps, pool lights,

to celebrate 150-year jubilee 

“Before then you would tell 

lots of people and they would say 

“where is Broadfield School?” 

Now you say it is where the 

scarecrows are and they go “oh I 

know”,” Miss McMillan said. 

Broadfield was opened in 1868 

and originally operated in the 

Broadfield Methodist Church 

before its first buildings were 

built in 1870. 

While the earliest roll of pupils 

ranged from 50-60, the attendance 

was a lot less and the ages 

ranged from 4 to 18-years-old. 

At this time schooling was not 

free so a charge of £1 per annum 

was made. 

It was reported school was not 

compulsory and not all children 

attended due to difficulties in 

paying. 

The grounds of the original 

school comprising of three acres 

was purchased by the late Samuel 

Early for £30. 

The official opening for the 

new school building was on 

Wednesday, July 6, 1870. 

The first teacher at the school 

was 19-year-old George Cotton, 

who served until 1872. 

It was reported Mr Cotton 

died about 1874 and about 250 

adults and 50 children attended 

his funeral. 

The longest serving teacher at 

the school is Linda Trolove, who 

taught at the school from 1987, 

until her retirement at the end of 

2017. 

While it now has a solid roll of 

140 pupils, it has had a history of 

fluctuating numbers. 

In 1973 the roll dropped to 

seven and there was talk of closing 

the school but the moving 

in of a family with two children 

saved the school and it began to 

increase. 

Over the years the school has 

had several extensions with the 

most recent upgrade in 2016. 

BIG PLANS: An artist impression of jubilee pavilion structure to 

be installed over the school’s netball court area.

space plus an

The school’s original tennis 

court area was removed but a 

new court area was laid between 

the field and playground.

Q&A: 

A first from 

Corrections. 

Have you ever been interested 

in a new career or a specific 

job, but haven’t had the 

chance to talk to anyone 

about it before applying? 

Probably, yes. 

Here’s your chance to learn more about 

a career with Corrections. If you’re 

interested in an exciting and rewarding 

career as a Corrections Officer, you can join 

our Live Q&A event and have your questions 

answered by Corrections Officers working 

in New Zealand prisons. You will have the 

opportunity to ask your questions to the panel 

of working Corrections Officers and have them 

answered in real time. 

Over the last year we’ve held information 

evenings in cities and towns across New Zealand. 

Next week, for the first time you can have all 

of your questions answered live online from 

wherever you are. Our team will be on hand to 

share their experiences about working to help 

offenders change their lives and answer any 

questions that you and your whanau might have. 

Our Live Q&A event will make sure that you 

have the information you need to decide on 

a career with Corrections. 

Kahore tetahi o tatou, taea te mahi,

Not one of us can do the work as well 

as all of us working together. 

MEET YULIA 

Yulia’s experience and passion for working with 

people has ensured her smooth transition into the 

role of Corrections Officer at Auckland Region 

Women’s Corrections Facility. 

“I joined Corrections at the beginning of 2017, I 

had previously worked in a range of roles including 

early childhood teacher, swimming instructor and 

most recently caring for older people and people 

living with disabilities.” 

“I love working with people, and was looking 

for a different challenge. I found the job through 

Seek, and researched the role on the Corrections 

website. I watched the videos of staff sharing their 

experiences, which made me realise this was 

something I could do. I dived in, accepted the 

challenge, and I’ve never looked back.” 

“I love what I do, and I think so many people out 

there may not realise just how much impact they 

can have building a career here.” 

“I will never forget the journey, and where it has 

taken me so far. There are a world of opportunities 

out there – I can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Debate on importance of soil 


Lincoln Envirotown trustee 

Sue Jarvis writes about an 

upcoming debate hosted 

by radio personality Kim 

Hill on the importance of 

soil at Lincoln University 

SOME SCIENTISTS state that 

Britain may have as few as 60 

harvests worth of usable soil left. 

How many harvests do we 

have left? 

What does our soil need to 

allow us to continue to grow 

food? 

Some countries have lost their 

usable soil completely through 

desertification. 

Each year in June a planning 

committee co-ordinated by the 

Lincoln Envirotown Trust and 

chaired by Dr Sue Jarvis starts 

planning for the next hot topic 

chaired by radio personality Kim 

Hill. 

The 2018 hot topic will be the 

eighth, and as usual on a subject 

of national and global environmental 

significance – ‘Soil – are 

we treating it like dirt?’ 

The planning starts with 

choosing the topic. 

This time it was quite easy 

as last year’s topic was ‘Water 

Andy MacFarlane Ants Roberts Mike Hedley Trish Fraser 

Lincoln Envirotown. 

The events are always well 

attended, with last year’s event 

packed out with a number of 

people listening to the discussion 

from the foyer. 

The choice of panellists is 

always hard and takes quite a bit 

of discussion to find four panellists 

to cover all the aspects of 

the topic. 

This year’s panellists are Trish 

Fraser, a local who works at 

the Lincoln Plant and Food 

Reserach; Ants Roberts, who 

works for Ravensdown; Mike 

Hedley from Massey University; 

and Andy MacFarlane, farmer/ 

company director. 

These panellists, who are 

experts in their field, will discuss 

a broad range of relevant issues: 

Are we degrading our soil 

cover? Is this most precious of 

resources in any danger? How 

important is the ecosystem of 

the soil, how do we ensure the 

production of safe, healthy food 

and what may go wrong in terms 

of such things as pollution and 

erosion? 

The audience can join in the 

– a global issue affecting New 

Zealand’ and as one of the panellists 

said: “It is hard to separate 

the role of water from the role of 

soil – we should be talking about 

soil too.” 

Then we need to invite some 

people to the planning committee 

who are experts about the 

topic. 

For the 2018 event we have 

members from AgResearch, 

Plant and Food Research, 

Canterbury University as well 

as, of course Lincoln University, 

who is hosting the event, and 

discussion during question time. 

Get involved in this important 

environmental issue on March 

22 at 6.30pm, Stewart Lecture 

Theatre 1, Lincoln University. 

A $5 koha is requested with 

refreshments provided, along 

with beer tasting from The 

Laboratory Lincoln and a cash 

bar. Please be seated by 7.25pm.

Non-stop to the city! 

Have you tried the 85 bus service from Rolleston to the city yet? If 

you’ve been thinking about trying a new way to commute, this is a 

great option. 

The service, currently running on a trial basis, is designed to get 

residents from Rolleston to the city as quickly as possible in the 

mornings, and back home again in the afternoons. 

There are three services to the city at the start of the day, and three 

services home at the end of the day. As the route is designed to get 

residents to and from the city as fast as possible, the driver can take 

the quickest available route on the day. 

Look out for this sign located at the bus stops in Rolleston where 

the 85 picks up from. 

Timetables are available at metroinfo.co.nz. We look forward to 

seeing you on board soon! 

Busy year ahead for 

Youth Council 

The Selwyn Youth Council has three fresh faces in 2018 with Chloe Duff, Ethan Richards-White 

and Taylin Smith joining the group. 

Chloe and Ethan both attend Rolleston College, where representation on the Youth Council was 

particularly sought. Taylin Smith from Dunsandel attends Lincoln High School. 

Paige Sullivan, Chair of the Youth Council, says all three new members are great role models. 

“We’re excited for the new and existing members of the Youth Council to continue contributing to 

Selwyn’s vibrant community.” 

“Projects on the radar include the Selwyn Link bus service, What do YOUth think? consultations, 

and the very first Selwyn Youth Survey. We’re excited to brainstorm other ideas at our orientation 

weekend in Living Springs this month,” she says. 

Selwyn Youth Council have held their first meeting of the year in February with meet-and-greets 

and planning for the coming year. A team-building trip was held which involved games, a lunch 

and ten-pin bowling. 

The Youth Council are very proud to be able to continue to give back to the community through 

their discretionary fund. The Selwyn Youth Project Fund is available to people or organisations 

who would like to see youth thrive in Selwyn through events or activities which contribute to youth 

wellbeing. Applications are assessed at the Youth Council’s monthly meetings. See the Council 

website for more details and the application form. 

Stepping Up – CV Preparation 

Need help preparing a CV or cover letter? Come along to a CV 

preparation session, held at Selwyn District Libraries. During these 

sessions you will learn how to use digital tools to help you prepare 

for employment, including creating a CV and cover letter and more. 

All you need to do is book into a session, and bring information 

about your employment skills, work and voluntary experiences (with 

dates) to include in your CV. Sessions will be held at: 

· Leeston Library, Monday 12 March 

· Lincoln Library, Monday 19 March 

· Rolleston Library, Monday 26 March 

· Darfield Library, Monday 9 April 

Sessions run from 9–11am. 

Anyone aged 16 and over can attend, but bookings are essential – 

see our website for details: www.selwynlibraries.co.nz. 

It is recommended all attendees have an understanding of basic 

English and basic computers knowledge. 

Request a new bin 

We often get enquiries through different channels from residents wanting 

new bins. 

If you would like to request a bin or a bin change you can go to our website www.selwyn.govt. 

nz/request-bin-changes 

Council offers three separate collection services: Recycling, rubbish and organics. 

Recycling is collected fortnightly in 240 litre yellow lid wheelie bins or, if you are not on the 

collection route but would like to participate in the recycling collection, you can order crates (or 

wheelie bins) and transport them to a collection point. The kerbside collection covers over 90% 

of the district’s households. Participation in the recycling collection service is compulsory for 

households on the collection route, and is charged on an annual basis through the rates bill. 

Organics such as garden and food waste is collected in 240 litre lime green lid wheelie bins on 

a weekly cycle. This service is only available in the larger townships at present and is gradually 

being extended to smaller townships as demand dictates. Currently the organics service is 

available in Darfield, Kirwee, West Melton, Rolleston, Prebbleton, Springston, Lincoln, Leeston, 

and Southbridge. This collection is an optional service for properties on the collection route 

and is funded on a user-pays basis. Those who wish to use the service pay an annual charge 

for their wheelie bin. 

The rubbish collection takes general household rubbish on a weekly cycle. Households have 

three choices for rubbish, namely 60 litre official Council rubbish bags, 80 litre and 240 litre 

dark green or red lid wheelie bins. The Council has set waste collection fees and charges to 

encourage waste minimisation and provide a financial incentive to households that reduce 

their rubbish. Many households select the 240 litre organics bin and an 80 litre rubbish bin as a 

lower cost alternative to one large 240 litre rubbish bin. 

New RSA Service for Selwyn 

With the support from Council, the RSA are happy to be able 

to provide a new welfare service in Selwyn starting on 

Wednesday 7 March. 

The hope is that this service will provide more convenient access for 

past and present servicemen and women and their families to get 

help for any welfare related matter. 

The clinic will provide a range of services including a link to 

Veterans Affairs, completion of application forms and co-ordination 

of financial needs. This service offered is not just for RSA members, 

any serviceman or woman may visit. 

The clinic, located at Council’s Rolleston Community House at 

95 Rolleston Drive, will be open on Wednesdays 4–7pm. 

To contact the clinic outside of hours please phone Josien at the 

Templeton RSA Tuesday, Thursday or Friday between 9.15am–1.30pm 

on 349 4701 or for urgent contact David Sands on 027 201 7747.

Waikirikiri gains affiliation 

with Canterbury Hockey 

WAIKIRIKIRI HAS been 

affiliated to Canterbury Hockey 

after a unanimous vote on 

Wednesday night. 

The club was formed in 2017. 

Before then, players had to travel 

to the city to join a club. 

In its first year, the club attracted 

120 junior hockey players 

in 13 teams, of which 70 per 

cent were new to the game. 

Waikirikiri club president 

Lyndal Marshall says it is an 

exciting development which will 

allow them to bring new players 

SPORTS 

into the game and give them a 

stage on which to represent their 

local club. 

The move means the year 7/8 

Kwik Sticks 11-aside boys and 

girls, senior division three (year 

9 up to under-18) boys and girls, 

and the mid-week open men’s 

and women’s teams will be able 

to be entered this year. 

A Canterbury hockey 

spokesperson said having a 

brand new club is exciting and 

reflects the huge opportunity 

from the new communities 

developing in areas like 

Selwyn. 

“Waikirikiri entered teams 

in our junior competitions 

in 2017 and will now be able 

to enter teams in our senior 

competitions in a staged 

manner as required by our club 

affiliation policy.” 

Lincoln snatch win 

off Southbrook in 

tight one-day match 

LINCOLN SNATCHED victory 

against Southbrook with just 

three balls to spare in the country 

premier one-day competition. 

At Southbrook Park, the hosts 

set Lincoln a target of 170 after 

fringe Canterbury player Jack 

Boyle and ‘Brook mainstay Matt 

Brine put on a classy 105-run 

partnership before a Southbrook 

shuffle saw the home side lose 

nine wickets for 65. 

Country opener Joel Harden 

got the run chase off to a solid 

start before Canterbury Kings 

T20 star Jeremy Benton smashed 

54 to help his team home in a 

nail-biter, eight wickets down 

with three balls to spare. 

Weedons upset Cheviot chasing 

down a meagre 116 with five 

wickets in hand. 

Extras top-scored with 24 as 

Cheviot could only scrape together 

116 at Cheviot Domain. 

Devon Nightingale and Lochie 

Stove each grabbed three wickets. 

James Richards and Brad 

Nightingale put on 57 for the second 

wicket before a quick-fire 23 

off 25 balls by wicketkeeper Todd 

Inness led Weedons to victory. 

Meanwhile, a second defaulted 

match by Leeston-Southbridge 

handed Sefton full competition 

points. 

SELWYN TIMES 

Oxford-Rangiora ensured their 

place in country cricket’s top 

flight competition next season after 

a dominant win over Darfield- 

South Malvern on Saturday. 

The combined side’s eightwicket 

win makes it five wins out 

of eight for the year after a tough 

start to the competition. 

On a damp wicket at Oxford’s 

No 2 ground, the home side won 

the toss and elected to bowl first. 

Darfield-South Malvern got 

off to a flying start with Nick 

Jenkins and Chris Warner taking 

the team through to 57/0 after 12 

overs. 

Oxford-Rangiora clawed their 

way back into the match with 

off-spinner Mark Murphy picking 

up 3/16 off his nine overs and 

Nathan Cook 3/27 off eight overs 

as Darfield-South Malvern crumbled 

to be all out for 110. 

The pressure was on Oxford- 

Rangiora to chase down the runs 

and keep them in the premier 

grade next season. 

They were soon reduced to 

30/2, but Calvin Scott, battling 

on with his nose still broken 

from two weeks earlier, made 

a gritty 30 not out while David 

Fulton found his form later in 

the innings and finished with an 

unbeaten 48.

Fashion Quarterly 

from Kim Taylor —Viva La Moda 

Autumn is here 

Autumn is upon us and the stores are bursting with 

new exciting fashion for the season. 

Navy is still huge as is pink in various hues, florals, 

textures, chunky knits and ponchos. Red is 

making a comeback which will please many. 

Black, white and grey are also prevalent as 

we follow Europe’s big return to these staple 

colours. 

The fashionistas amongst us know that 

shopping early in the season is a must for 

coats, jackets and knits. This is when there is 

greatest choice in styles and sizes. As few 

fashion suppliers carry extra stock any longer, 

it’s often not possible to order in any more 

once the stock in store has gone. 

We have pictured a stunning navy coat with 

fur collar which is from Joe Brown of London 

$365. This is beautifully styled and the design 

shows incredible attention to detail. 

Vassalli is a fab NZ label and 

they have really stepped it up 

a notch this season with some 

gorgeous fashion forward 

pieces. We have pictured 

the pretty Vassalli bomber 

with rose gold zips. A 

lovely jacket that could 

be dressed up or down, for $175. 

We have also showcased the beautiful butter soft seduce 

genuine leather jackets in Navy wash $429. Genuine leather 

is so much warmer and of course will last for years 

without missing a beat. 

The Libertine reversible dress has just arrived. This is a 

winning style for Libertine which they repeat every 

season but change it up with their prints and 

colours. This season it is navy, teal and silver and 

is a gorgeous flattering style, which can be worn 

as a V neck or turned around to be round neck. 

Clever! 

The final style we have shown is the Zafina phase 

shirt available in pink or navy $149. This stunning 

shirt is a repeat winning style from Zafina as the 

longer chiffon back appeals to most. it looks 

great teamed up with slim leg pants 

for work or play. 

All of these styles are available 

now at Viva La moda. see you

Colour day: A great success 

ABOUT 850 people were covered 

in brightly coloured cornflour as 

part of a Colour Fun Day. 

The Rolleston and Districts 

Lions Club ran its first Rolleston 

Colour Fun Day recently to raise 

funds for its organisation. 

Organiser and the Lion’s club 

secretary Heather Kissell said the 

day had perfect weather for the 

event. 

She said participants arrived 

early to create group art work 

and bought paint to throw on 

each other. 

After a zumba warm-up by 

Kim Churton of Body Rhythm 

Fitness, participants set off passing 

through five colour stations 

and three obstacles. 

Participants made their way at 

their own pace through a 2.5km 

track at Helpet Park. 

At the end of the course was 

a colour pit, where participants 

threw paint and water balloons 

at each other and took part in a 

colour throw which was counted 

down. 

The day was sponsored by 

Rolleston New World, Storage 

King Rolleston and Shake Shed 

& Co. 

Mrs Kissell said a significant 

amount of money was raised for 

the community and the wish was 

expressed by many for it to happen 

again. 

“One person told me it was the 

best fun they had had in their 

life,” she said. 

Mrs Kissell said the club has 

yet to discuss next year but 

agreed it was a successful event. 

SPLASH: Participants at Selwyn’s first

The Black Door Bar & Eatery has been 

open for seven months now and is proving 

to be the place to hang out in Lincoln. 

Part of the reason for its popularity is 

its changing menu and the fun events the 

Black Door crew have been holding. 

There are four new events now in the 

pipeline so make sure you enter them in 

your calendar. 

First up is Southfield on Friday, 9th of 

March. 

“We danced till the early hours New 

Years to our favourite local band Southfield 

and it’s time to do it again! There is no cover 

charge, it’s on us, but we do recommend 

booking a table if you want to dine and 

make a night of it,” says owner Anita Alder. 

On Sunday, 18 March there is a Backyard 

Session – featuring live music from 

accomplished musician Lee 

Martin. What better way 

to spend a Sunday than 

sipping on your favourite 

drink while enjoying some 

wonderful music. 

Ryan Ferris is back again 

on Sunday March 25 to play 

another amazing Backyard 

Session at Black Door. He is 

a very talented musician so 

don’t miss his performance. 

The following week is 

all about Easter. The Black 

Door will be closed on 

Good Friday but open again 

on Saturday with Easter 

themed celebrations for the 

whole family on Sunday the 

1st of April 

“All day from 9am there 

will be activities for the kids 

when dining with the family,” 

says Anita. 

Kids can take part in an 

Easter Egg hunt, colouring 

competition and egg 

decorating and from 4pm 

there will be live music. 

Bookings are recommended

dISCOVER 

New West Melton Community Centre 

A new community centre is taking shape 

in West Melton, and when completed 

later this year will provide a wide range of 

facilities for residents of the fast-growing 

West Melton area and the surrounding 

Selwyn District. 

As chairman of the West Melton 

Community and Recreation Centre 

Working Group Bruce Russell explains, 

the new building will replace the old 

community hall, which has been servicing 

the community since the early 1900s, 

but would require significant and costly 

earthquake strengthening in a few years’ 

time. 

“The hall and the structures that had 

been added on to it over the years were 

damaged in the earthquake. Some money 

was spent bringing it up to the required 37 

per cent strength, but it would have needed 

to be brought up to 100 per cent in 2025, 

and that would have cost a significant 

amount of money,” Bruce says. 

He says the West Melton Hall has been 

one of the most-used community centres 

in the Selwyn District, and with the everincreasing 

population in West Melton and 

further afield, he could see that the time 

was right for a new centre to be built. 

“I talked to the community about it, and 

they were in favour of the idea, and the 

Artist Impression 

council was also supportive. A committee 

of 32 was formed and we spent the next 

six to eight months canvassing the local 

people about what they would like to have 

included in their new community centre.” 

The contract to build was awarded to 

Armitage & Williams, with the Selwyn 

District Council agreeing to contribute 

10 per cent of the cost. However, as Bruce 

pointed out to the council, residents from 

surrounding areas would also be using 

the new facilities, so funding should come 

from the district-wide rates. Council 

agreed and increased their contribution 

to 36 per cent, which Bruce was thrilled 

about. 

“The council are right in behind us.” 

The total cost of the project, including 

landscaping, is $8.3 million. 

Hamish Wheelans of Gillman Wheelans 

says the facility was needed to cater for

will cater to growing population 

growth in the developing subdivisions. 

“It’s pleasing to see facilities keeping up 

with the growth in West Melton – and 

catering for future growth.” 

Hamish has been a long-time supporter 

of the community, including fundraising 

for the primary school’s facilities and 

other recreational amenities, and he 

is also a supporter of the West Melton 

Rugby Club. 

The new West Melton Community 

Centre will include a playcentre, a Scouts’ 

den, and meeting places for the Residents’ 

Association and other groups, while the 

outdoor areas will incorporate sports 

fields and proposed new tennis courts. 

“We also purchased some extra land, 

allowing us to potentially install a 

children’s playground and skate park,” 

Bruce says. “This is an active community, 

so having facilities like these is very 

important.” 

The West Melton Primary School, 

located across the other side of SH73 

from the community centre, has limited 

playground area and is also keen to make 

use of the new centre, Bruce says. 

“The school roll now stands at 450 and 

will likely reach 500 by the end of the year.” 

The issue of getting the children safely 

across the busy road is being addressed 

to some extent with a speed reduction 

outside the school, but Bruce says they are 

hoping traffic lights will be installed at the 

major intersection. 

“We are having discussions with Transit 

NZ about this.” 

Until the new centre is completed, the 

old hall will remain in use, with people 

using it every day and most nights of the 

week, Bruce says. 

Contaminated soil on the site, which 

was a leftover from the 1920s-1940s when 

there was a communal sheep dip there, 

has been safely buried under Environment 

Canterbury supervision. 

The new West Melton Community 

Centre will open towards the end of 2018, 

providing a valuable facility for today’s 

residents and generations to come. 

Construction of the 

new community 

centre began at 

the end of 2017 

with completion 

expected towards 

the end of this year. 

The West Melton Hall has been a well-used 

community facility for more than a century.

Survey shows rural and urban 

sectors share common concerns 

A survey on New Zealanders’ views on 

the primary sector shows the rural-urban 

disconnect may not be as marked as some 

commentators believe. 

The broad survey, which was conducted 

for the Ministry for Primary Industries 

(MPI) last October, in the heat of election 

campaigning and with ‘farmer bashing’ 

high on some politicians’ and lobby groups’ 

agendas, found a drop in positivity about 

pastoral farming among both urban and 

rural respondents. 

“It’s hardly surprising given the political 

climate at the time,” Federated Farmers 

national president Katie Milne said. 

“It appears we’re united in our 

determination to do even more to continue 

to strive for improvements in water 

quality. Double the number of both city 

and country folk see water quality as our 

most significant issue when compared to a 

similar survey done in 2008 – after all we 

are all in this together.” 

The primary sector, otherwise, was 

still viewed as a significant contributor 

to the wider economy with two thirds of 

respondents believing the country is better 

off when farmers are going well. 

The report also notes that positive views 

towards the dairy sector are still twice as 

high as negative ones. 

Federated Farmers, meanwhile, is 

impressed that urban dwellers share 

farmers’ concerns about such issues as 

biosecurity incursions and the need for 

more education and awareness around 

prevention. 

Farmers would also take heart in the 

report’s findings towards their activities 

and licence to operate. 

“The report considers that the primary 

sector currently earns its ‘social licence 

to operate’ by providing employment 

opportunities, economic stability and food 

for New Zealanders,” Ms Milne said. 

Positive views towards 

dairy sector are twice 

as high as negative 

views, survey shows.

Help needed to stop the 

spread of aggressive plant 

Environment Canterbury is calling for 

landowners to stop the spread of yellow 

bristle grass, an aggressive annual seeding 

plant which spreads rapidly through 

pasture, reducing pasture quality. 

Principal resource management advisor 

biosecurity Laurence Smith said they 

needed landowners to help stop the spread 

in Canterbury. 

“To stop yellow bristle grass becoming 

a major pest in Canterbury, we are asking 

landowners to please be vigilant and report 

any suspected sightings to Environment 

Canterbury as soon as possible. 

“There are currently two known 

infestations of yellow bristle grass in 

Canterbury – one in Sefton and the 

other in Scargill, both bordering railway 

crossings. It is likely that seeds may have 

been spread by contaminated machinery 

working on the crossings,” Mr Smith said. 

Yellow bristle grass is already widespread 

throughout the North Island, where it 

affects mainly dairy farmers by reducing 

pasture quality and utilisation in late 

summer and autumn. Cows don’t willingly 

eat it, and grazing avoidance leads to 

seeding and rapid spread and opening for 

other weeds. 

The fast spread of yellow bristle grass 

across the North Island is largely due to 

contaminated vehicles and machinery, 

water, soil movements, and as contaminants 

of hay and maize. Yellow bristle grass seeds 

can pass through the rumen and be spread 

in dung. 

How to identify yellow bristle 

grass 

Yellow bristle grass is currently seeding 

and therefore easier to identify. The seed 

head is a cylindrical spike, between 2.5- 

10cm long, and becomes a golden brown 

colour once mature. 

Leaves are yellow-green in colour and 

usually red or purple at the base. 

If you suspect you 

have found yellow 

bristle grass, please 

contact Environment 

Canterbury 

immediately on 

0800 324 636. 

Sighted yellow bristle grass? 

If you suspect you have found yellow 

bristle grass, please contact Environment 

Canterbury immediately on 0800 324 636. 

You can prevent the spread of pests 

like yellow bristle grass by having a farm 

biosecurity plan in place on your property. 

Yellow bristle grass is included in 

Canterbury’s proposed Regional Pest 

Management Plan as an ‘eradication’ 

pest, with the objective of eradicating all 

infestations from the region over the life of 

the plan.

Gardening 


SELWYN TIMES 

gardening without guesswork 

Question: 

Answer: 

Autumn is a great time to plant bulbs like 

daffodils, tulips and freesias. A beautiful burst 

of Spring colour after the long days of winter 

is welcomed in any garden, and definitely 

brightens everyone’s spirits a little. The end 

of daylight saving is a great time to plant 

your bulbs because the ground temperature 

is generally cooler, which is the ideal 

environment for bulbs. The key to success 

is ensuring you have prepared the soil, or 

have chosen a top quality potting mix like our 

Patio Plus if you are planting in pots. Bulbs 

also like blood and bone if they need a nutrient 

boost. This can be added to the soil. Need more 

help with how to plant bulbs? We have a guide on 

our website or ask our team for advice.

Your pre-planting checklist involves making sure you choose bulbs 

that are suitable for our climate, and then making sure you plant 

them in the right place in your garden. Some bulbs like the shade, 

some like the sun. If you are unsure, ask at your local garden centre.

Artisan Homes 

Our work is delivered in three equal parts - Long-term 

experience, skilled expertise, and old fashioned hard work. 

566 East Maddisons Road is the latest addition to 

the line-up of stunning homes in the catalogue of 

Artisan Homes. The three bedroom, 227m2 home 

forms part of Faringdon’s show home village, the 

South Island’s biggest, with still more homes to open. 

It features two spacious living areas, open plan 

kitchen and dining, walk-in pantry, and ensuite 

and bathroom, each fully tiled and with 10mm 

Frameless Glass showers. New Zealand designed 

and manufactured VCBC vanities feature in both 

bathrooms, as does the VCBC Form Clearstone 

Freestanding Bath in the family bathroom. There is 

a reading/sitting area, lit by two skylights, that opens 

onto the large deck. 

Stylishly

carpet, in this 

beautiful family 

home no detail is 

overlooked. 

Such is the 

hallmark of the 

artisans that make 

up the team at 

Artisan Homes. Rob Jones is the owner. He’s been in 

the building industry since he was sixteen, whether 

building, project management, or both. 

“Our work is delivered in three equal parts,” Rob 

says. “Long-term experience, skilled expertise, 

and old fashioned hard work.” Backed by a ten 

year Standard Masterbuild Guarantee, all these are 

wonderfully exhibited in Artisan’s newest show home. 

“The build result, as with all our show homes, has 

ended up as a collaboration of ideas from across our 

team of designers, suppliers, and contractors, many 

of whom had a part in the process with ideas and 

contributions.” This is perhaps most keenly observed 

in the unique landscaping with its functional and 

aesthetic use of railway sleepers throughout 

the property. 

“There wasn’t a design or plan for it,” 

Rob says. “Graham, our landscape 

contractor creates his work by what 

I call ‘free flowing’ his ideas as he 

works on site, almost by feel, and 

he changes or introduces new 

elements as he goes. He told me 

early on he was working a bench 

seat into his scheme. I trust him one 

hundred percent, so I just agreed.” 

The result is quite beautiful, and needs 

to be seen – and sat on – to be truly appreciated. Sit 

on it and listen to the water feature bubbling away 

in the quiet, relaxing outdoor space. It’s at 566 East 

Maddisons Road. Show home hours are weekends 12 

til 4, and most weekday afternoons.

Checklist for selling your home 

MAKE SMALL FIXES 

Inspect your home with a buyer’s 

eyes, and correct the flaws that are 

most egregious (if affordable) or 

can be relatively easily fixed—from 

repairing cracks in the walkways 

to repainting dingy walls or oiling 

creaky hinges. 

SET A PRICE 

A real estate agent will give you a 

market analysis free of charge or 

commitment. Ask a few to get a 

broader picture of the market, then 

ask to see listings for properties 

similar to yours that have sold 

in the past six months. Check 

out comparable listings yourself 

in the real estate section of your 

newspaper or on websites. Then 

decide whether you want a quick, 

easy sale or the highest possible 

price. 

CLEAN & DECLUTTER 

Weed out excess furniture, 

knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it, 

donate it, give it away, sell it at a 

yard sale, or put it into storage—so 

the house seems more spacious and 

buyers can imagine themselves in it. 

STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT 

MAINTENANCE 

From the moment you start 

showing your house, keep the lawn 

mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens 

weeded, rooms spotless and 

clutter-free. 

READY YOUR HOME FOR 

OPEN DAYS 

Hide pocketable valuables, 

display fresh flowers or bowls 

of fruit, bake a batch of cookies 

for the homey smell, open the 

drapes, keep pets out of sight. 

DECIDE WHETHER TO DO 

YOUR OWN BUILDING 

INSPECTION 

It may save you time, especially 

with older homes, to identify— 

and potentially solve—problems 

your buyer’s inspection will 

discover later.
