Glentunnel teen Manaia 

Davies is off to San

an international dance 

competition. 

• By Emily O’Connell 

GLENTUNNEL teenager 

Manaia Davies is off to San 

Diego next month in a team of 

22 dancers representing New 

Zealand in an international 

competition. 

Page 18, 19 Page 22 

From Glentunnel to San Diego 

The 13-year-old was asked to 

be in the team by Kiwi choreographer, 

Kiel Tutin, who has 

worked with stars such as Jennifer 

Lopez. 

Manaia, who has been dancing 

since she was three-yearsold, 

says she was “shocked” by 

the invitation and is looking 

forward to competing in Body 

Rock Junior. 

She’s been travelling to 

Auckland each weekend for 

practice. 

“It’s really hard-out, it’s full 

hands-on training and we 

run the set over, over and over 

again,” she said. 

The Burnside High 

School student spends most 

of her spare time training or 

teaching.

$40k to fix 

council 

homes 

damaged 

by meth 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

DISTRICT council-owned 

houses in Darfield have had 

to be decontaminated from 

methampetamine before they can 

be sold. 

The three dwellings are part of a 

portfolio of houses and a section in 

Ritso St the council is dispersing. 

It has cost just over $40,000 to 

decontaminate the properties. 

Insurance has met about $30,000 

of the bill, the district council the 

rest. 

The houses are on the market 

for between $300,000 to $355,000. 

Former mayor Bill Woods says 

he is concerned that money from 

the sales will not go back into 

Malvern community. 

In the early 2000s Mr Woods 

and late district councillor Paul 

Stewart was involved in putting a 

case forward that if the properties 

were sold the money had to go 

back into the community. 

“In fairness, the money gained 

from the sale of these properties 

must be returned to the area from 

where it was collected,” he said. 

The district council’s property 

and commercial manager Douglas 

Marshall said yesterday the 

sale proceeds will be credited to 

council district funds.

WEEDONS AND Templeton residents 

are facing a near mission impossible 

and expensive task if the experience of 

people in Yaldhurst is anything to go by 

(see page 3). 

A quarry will be built as close as 100m 

from residential properties in Yaldhurst, in spite of medical 

authorities saying it’s not a good idea. 

Yaldhurst residents are going to appeal the decision to the 

Environment Court. But the legal costs will be huge. They are 

unlikely to get any change out of $100k. 

Next cab of the rank is Fulton Hogan’s plan to quarry in the 

Templeton-Weedons area. But, if the Yaldhurst experience is 

anything to go, the need for materials for our roads outweighs 

residents’ health. 

Strange that.

Residents prepare for legal battle over quarry 

• By Anan Zaki 

WEEDONS AND Templeton 

residents are prepared for a long 

fight, should Fulton Hogan’s 

planned quarry in their area be 

given the green light. 

It comes as Yaldhurst residents 

will this week lodge an appeal and 

prepare for a costly court battle 

to challenge a decision to allow 

quarry expansion in the area. 

Templeton Residents’ Association 

chairman Garry Kilday said 

if Fulton Hogan’s plans for a 

resource consent application is 

granted, the association would 

also consider taking legal action. 

“We’ll take whatever action we 

can. We may not be the only ones 

that are considering this. 

“It’s wrong and there will be 

lawyers and I believe someone will 

sue these people,” Mr Kilday said. 

The only deterrent in taking 

legal action was the cost, he said. 

He believed the residents could 

win the Resource Management 

Act process, when the company 

lodges an application. 

“However, the problem we have 

is that if we win the RMA and 

their application is turned down, 

they will go to the Environment 

Court, which will also cost us,” 

Mr Kilday said. 

But the residents would do 

whatever they can work together 

to protect their habitat, he said. 

“We’re fighting for our way of 

life here, we’re fighting for the 

healthiness and the cleanliness of 

our environment. 

“That’s why ECan is here in the 

first place, to protect us from this 

sort of thing.” 

Fulton Hogan has faced resistance 

from Templeton residents 

after it put forward a plan for a 

170ha quarry on Dawsons, Curraghs 

and Jones Rds in January. 

ECan is yet to receive a resource 

consent application from 

Fulton Hogan. 

The company announced in 

April that it would not lodge 

an application before July and 

is awaiting for the results of the 

Yaldhurst air quality monitoring 

programme, which was expected 

to be released by ECan in July. 

•An article last week headlined 

‘Fears Yaldhurst decision sets a 

precedent’ incorrectly stated that 

Road Metals was given permission 

to increase the size of its 

Yaldhurst quarry by Environment 

Canterbury. The decision to grant 

the consent was made by an independent 

hearing panel appointed 

by the city council and ECan.

District’s fuel prices reach record high 

Consumers 

warned cost of 

food could rise 

• By Julia Evans 

UNITED STATES president 

Donald Trump is being blamed 

for the record high price of petrol 

in the district.. 

Some service stations were 

charging $2.29.9 a litre for 

91-octane petrol, the record high 

which was reached last week, 

while others are charging slightly 

less at $2.25.9. 

Infometrics economist Brad 

Olsen said the 

main reason 

was President 

Trump’s recent 

dealings 

in Iran. 

“The main 

driver is the 

Brad Olsen 

overseas price. 

West Texas 

Intermediate 

crude oil has shot up over the last 

couple of days and that’s largely 

because Trump and Iran has 

shaken up the playing field,” Mr 

Olsen said. 

President Trump announced 

recently that the US was walking 

away from the Iran nuclear deal 

organised between Russia, the 

United Kingdom, France, China 

and the US in 2015. 

The Selwyn Times tweeted 

President Trump for reaction. He 

did not respond. 

Fuel prices around the country 

hit record highs last week. There 

were reports of stations on 

Waiheke Island charging $2.51 a 

litre and $2.45 in Wanaka. 

In Auckland, prices were 

between $2.07 and $2.17 a 

litre. 

Mr Olsen said Canterbury was 

hit harder than Auckland due to 

the “Gull-effect,” caused by the 

introduction of the low priced 

Gull petrol stations in 2013. 

He said there was also a lack of 

competition between stations in 

Canterbury. 

And relief is not in sight. 

“We can’t really pick when 

they’ll go back down or if they’ll 

go back down . . . it will be interesting 

to see how prices change 

and regional discrepancies,” Mr 

Olsen said. 

There have been calls for the 

Government to address the issue. 

Minister of Energy and 

Resources Megan Woods said 

it is “very concerning” that 

Cantabrians are paying so much 

for petrol and it was clear the 

market is “not functioning as it 

should be.” 

“Obviously international 

events and the declining New 

Zealand dollar will have some 

role to play, but our focus is that 

people are paying a fair price,” 

she said. 

Dr Woods said the law is being 

changed to give the Commerce

Commission the power to conduct 

market studies and compel 

the release of evidence to work 

out why petrol south of Wellington 

was much higher. 

Mr Olsen said it would 

have the biggest impact on 

lower income families, who 

would have to change their 

budgets drastically or change 

the way they travel. 

Red Bus chief executive Paul 

McNoe said it had not noticed 

an immediate increase in patronage. 

“But it is possible. The further 

it goes up and the longer it stays 

that high. It depends on people’s 

preference and their tolerance 

for prices. We’re always happy 

to welcome new customers,” he 

said. 

New Zealand Taxi Federation 

Canterbury president Stan Gane 

said the industry was “massively” 

impacted, but was not considering 

putting prices up. 

“We’ve changed most of the 

fleet in Christchurch to hybrid 

and are keeping prices as low as 

we possibly can, but every cent 

that fuel goes up is less wages 

and less groceries for staff,” he 

said. 

Mr Olsen said consumers 

could also expect to feel the 

brunt of petrol prices as freight 

companies would raise prices for 

retailers, who would likely pass it 

on to customers. 

“Largely we’ll see it in food 

prices. It will be interesting to 

see how much retailers put it up 

because consumers are going to 

get pretty annoyed with having 

to pay more for fuel as well as 

goods.” 

GOING AWAY THIS QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND? 

For those of you heading off for a break this long weekend please take 

the time to check real-time travel information before you head off and 

be prepared for increased traffic volumes. 

Drivers have two options for travel in the Upper 

South Island between Picton and Christchurch. 

• SH1 via Kaikōura is now open 24/7 but 

construction is ongoing (north and south) 

with delays and some single lanes. 

• The alternate Picton to Christchurch route 

via the Lewis Pass is open 24/7 (but check 

before travel as winter conditions may cause 

the Lewis Pass to be closed temporarily). 

Both routes will be busy so whichever one you 

choose the NZ Transport Agency advises you 

allow plenty of time for your trip, especially 

if you are catching a ferry or are on a tight 

schedule. 

The NZ Transport Agency encourages 

everyone heading off for a break to ‘know before 

you go’ and check the holiday hotspots map: 

www.nzta.govt.nz/hotspots. The map collates 

data from previous Queen’s Birthday Weekend 

journeys and advises on the best time to leave to 

avoid the rush. 

With the change in season it is also time to 

prepare for winter driving to stay safe: 

• Take the time to check your vehicle is in 

good condition – tyres/spare tyre, indicators, 

windshield wipers, lights 

• Be prepared by travelling with warm clothes, 

food, water and a fully charged cell phone 

• A flat battery is the most common cause 

of winter breakdowns. If it’s more than 

five years old it may struggle in the cold. 

Get it checked and replaced if necessary 

• Keep at least a quarter of a tank of fuel in 

case of any unexpected delays 

Drivers need to be patient, cautious and 

courteous. Take your time and be prepared 

for the unexpected. 

And remember, over holiday periods many 

drivers are on unfamiliar roads, so please 

be patient as we are all in this situation at 

some stage. 

HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE: 

• Plan your journey between Picton and 

Christchurch and get real-time information 

via www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c or call 

0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49). 

We recommend checking at least two hours 

before you travel and while on your trip 

• Check the MetService weather forecast 

before you head away

Joanne

WINTER CLOTHING, dinners 

out, family trips – the pinch at 

the pump is causing residents 

in the district to tighten their 

budgets and make sacrifices. 

On Friday, Selwyn Times visited 

Rolleston to see how people 

were affected. 

Rolleston resident Tracey 

McLay has recently moved from 

Papanui and is noticing the difference. 

“To get to and from work, to 

drop kids off and sports – it’s 

getting very expensive . . . it’s sort 

of cutting down in other areas,” 

she said. 

When asked whether she has 

noticed the hike in the price of 

petrol, Maxine Freemantle just 

said it was “ridiculous.” 

“I’ve got a young daughter and 

Katherine Johnson with 

son, Oliver. 

James Wallis 

Martin 

Thomas Maher 

we need fuel to get to work and 

that, and she has to miss out 

. . . we can’t go and buy her new 

things like warm winter gear, 

we’ve got to wait for a couple 

more weeks to save up,” she said. 

Thomas Maher works in 

Rolleston but lives in Kaiapoi 

and says the price hike has restricted 

what he can do. 

“Really damaging to my budget 

especially. I’ve got to cut down 

in other areas such as food . . . for 

now all I’ve been able to do is go 

to and from work,” he said. 

For Burwood resident James 

Wallis Martin, the drive into 

Rolleston each week day to drop 

his daughter at Waitaha School is 

having an effect. 

“Every day taking my daughter 

to school costs me an extra $10 

Maxine 

Freemantle 

Tracey McLay 

Motorists feel the fuel price pain 

. . . it just means we don’t buy 

things, we don’t go out to dinner. 

We’ve had to be cautious 

already,” he said. 

Mr Wallis Martin thinks there 

should be a subsidy on electric 

vehicles so more people can 

“upgrade.” 

Rolleston resident Katherine 

Johnson said she usually takes 

her children to Margaret Mahy 

Family Playground on the weekend 

but it’s just “not doable at the 

moment.” 

Joanne McDonald lives in 

Burnham and says the hike is 

“terrible.” 

“I think it’s actually quite sad 

it’s going up . . . what can you do 

about?” she said. 

Miss McDonald said the 

increase means costs have to be 

cut. 

How to save money on fuel 

•Make sure your tyres are 

inflated correctly. The 

Automobile Association 

found incorrect tyre 

pressure uses nearly eight 

per cent more fuel. 

•Avoid rush hour. Turning 

your engine off if you’re stuck 

in traffic for longer than 

30 seconds is better than 

keeping the car running 

according to the AA, and 

the Motor Trade Association 

recommends planning 

ahead to run errands during 

off-peak times. 

•Don’t speed. According to 

the MTA, fuel consumption 

increases by about six per 

cent for every 10km/h faster 

you travel over 90km/h. 

•Keep your load light. 

The more weight in your 

car means more petrol is 

needed to propel it. 

•Use your air conditioner, 

but only when necessary. 

Opening your windows to 

cool the car down is actually 

less fuel efficient than using 

the A/C because it creates 

drag. However, blasting 

the A/C or leaving the back 

window demister on after 

they’ve done their job is an 

unnecessary drain on fuel. 

•Take care of your 

car. Regular service 

could reduce your fuel 

consumption by up to 20 

per cent

Skate park back on track 

THE REDESIGNED Lincoln 

Domain Skate Park is expected to 

be completed by the end of next 

month. 

Initially, it was due to open in 

late April but the district council 

decided to make it safer after 

residents shared concerns. 

The skate park is designed to 

predominantly cater for children 

and amateur skaters. 

The district council chose 

experienced skate park designer 

Dave North to review the incomplete 

skate park and make it 

more suitable. 

“The changes that we’ve made 

to the skate park design will ensure 

flow. A small learners bowl 

will lead on to an intermediate 

bowl,” Mr North said. 

The main design changes includes 

forming the existing bowl 

•From page 1 

But the district council has 

agreed to acknowledge the value 

that the Darfield community 

had invested as part of a land 

exchange proposal. 

In the early 2000s, the district 

council proposed a reserve 

exchange to enable the reserve 

into a mini-bowl, swapping the 

stairs for a large hubba ramp and 

rail, constructing a new 1200cm 

deep bowl, a ditch-style banked 

area and smaller flat ledges and

Call for performing arts facility 


CENTRESTAGE Rolleston 

wants a local performing arts 

facility to be included in the 

Long Term Plan. 

CentreStage’s president Phil 

Dean spoke at the district 

council’s LTP public hearing last 

week about the idea. 

The group, which formed earlier 

this year, believe the district, 

particularly Rolleston, needs a 

space for the arts. 

Mr Dean, 

who is the 

Ashburton 

sub-area commander, 

said 

in his written 

submission 

that compared 

Phil Dean 

to sports, “performing 

arts 

is the poor 

cousin.” 

He said although there are 

“some pretty amazing providers,” 

what the area doesn’t have 

is somewhere for people to 

rehearse or perform in large 

groups. 

Mr Dean believes there is 

scope in the new sporting facility 

at Foster Park for performing 

arts. 

“Space like a dance studio, 

rehearsal rooms, performance 

areas will meet the increasing 

demands of the performing arts 

community,” he said. 

District councillor Craig 

Watson said it is “probably too 

early to say” whether a performing 

arts space could go in Foster 

Park. 

“I think we are working on 

a town centre precinct at the 

moment and obviously that has 

a cultural aspect to it, so that’s 

probably where it naturally lies,” 

he said. 

Cr Watson said CentreStage is 

“fantastic” for how it brings likeminded 

people together. 

Mr Dean said the group 

needs a “disproportionate” 

amount of funding because 

performing arts in Rolleston is 

in a “fledgling” state compared 

with sport which already has 

facilities. 

Cr Watson said it’s vital the 

district council provides an opportunity 

for performing arts 

but it needs to make sure it’s 

sustainable. 

PROPOSAL: 

CentreStage 

Rolleston 

believes the 

area needs a 

performing arts 

facility included 

in the district 

council’s Long 

Term Plan. 

“I think for Selwyn it’s really 

important that we have performing 

arts well supported and 

catered for,” he said. 

The district council is 

holding its deliberations today 

and tomorrow and expects to 

formally adopt the plan in late 

June.

think Rolleston needs a 

performing arts facility?

SELWYN TIMES 

Old fire station demolished 

Commissioned by 

THE WEST Melton Volunteer 

Rural Fire Force will be 

moving into its new station 

next month. 

Its original station, built 

about 53 years ago, was demolished 

last week. 

The new building, which is 

more than three times bigger, 

is almost complete with work 

on the forecourt still being 

carried out. 

West Melton deputy chief 

fire officer Chris Caldwell said 

prior to the commencement 

of Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand last year, it had always 

been funded and managed by 

the district council. 

“It was decided a few years 

ago we needed a new station. 

We acquired a second truck 

and a ute and had nowhere to 

put them,” he said. 

Mr Caldwell said the old station 

had a lot of problems and 

the district council agreed to 

fund a new station. 

“Before the build started, 

the FENZ merger occurred. 

Selwyn agreed to give the 

money they were going to 

spend on it to FENZ to keep 

the project going,” he said. 

Construction started in 

mid-January and Mr Caldwell 

said the new station will be 

able to store four vehicles. 

“The training room is large 

and together with a decent 

kitchen and office and equipment 

store, it could be multiuse,” 

he said. 

Mr Caldwell said their are

currently 16 crew but the 

building has locker space for 

up to 24 volunteers. 

“At the moment that is sufficient 

for the two trucks and we 

are not taking on anyone else, 

however, we are always keen to 

put people on a waiting list if 

they contact us,” he said. 

The Selwyn District Council would like to thank all of 

our Gold sponsors for their generous support.

Lance Coupland said he was both 

“excited and happy” about the new store 

opening on Friday. 

“Getting this new store up and going, 

in what is a real growth area of Canterbury 

means a lot to our company and 

hopefully means a lot to the locals too,” 

he said. 

Mr Coupland, who lives in Rolleston, 

said the company is looking at revamping 

some of its existing stores. 

Coupland’s founder, Ray Coupland, 

said it’s always “great” to see a new store 

opening. 

Bev Jenkins, who has been with the 

company for 17 years, is managing the 

new store.

Year 13 student Joe Williams 

wants to do some good during 

his social studies trip to the 

Pacific Island in July. 

During the 10-day trip, 21 

Lincoln High School students 

will be helping out at the 

children’s home, House of Hope, 

in Apia. 

As part of the social studies 

class, each student will set 

themselves a personal social 

action. Joe wants to collect and 

donate about 50 football shirts 

for the children and teach them 

some ball skills. 

His mother, Jane Williams, 

says he’s a keen footballer and 

plays for both the school and 

Halswell United’s top side 

which plays in the Canterbury 

Championship League. 

•Joe is looking for 

individual football shirts, 

any size, from English and 

other European clubs. If you

Getting people 

moving 

aim of class 

ROLLESTON Community Centre’s 

Move it to Music class is getting 

residents in the district off the 

couch. 

The class, run by an experienced 

tutor, uses music, fun equipment 

and a sense of humour to get attendees 

moving. It’s aimed at those with 

arthritis or the less active who want 

to ‘use it not lose it.’ 

Kathleen Johnston, a visitor to the 

district who attends the sessions, 

has had two hip replacements and a 

back operation and says the class is 

a great opportunity to exercise without 

too much strain on her joints. 

“This class encouraged me to 

get off the couch and get my body 

moving following my operations,” 

she said. 

Instructor Jan McKay has been 

running similar classes for nearly 20 

years and says she enjoys seeing the 

benefits that they have for attendees, 

both physically and socially. 

“The class allows them to get their 

bodies moving in a safe environment,” 

she said. 

The Move it to Music class is held 

on Wednesdays from 1.15–2.15pm 

at the Rolleston Community Centre, 

and costs $3 per session. No bookings 

required.

Chance for a visit to Gansu 

A SELWYN resident or 

someone who works locally, 

has the chance to visit Gansu 

in north-west China as 

applications to travel to the 

district’s sister city are now 

open. 

Each year the district council’s 

Selwyn sister city committee 

sends a local representative 

to Gansu for a month-long 

exchange. 

This year the exchange, which 

has the opportunity to join 

delegates from about 20 different 

countries, will go from 

September 1 to 30 in Lanzhou, 

the capital of Gansu. 

This fellowship is funded by 

the Gansu Provincial People’s 

Government of China. 

Past fellows have come from 

backgrounds in agriculture, exporting 

and local government. 

Last year’s fellow, Phillip Millar, 

said the experience was a 

great opportunity to learn more 

about the region of Gansu and 

to see some amazing sights. 

“A highlight for me was 

definitely exploring the City 

of Lanzhou which runs along 

the beautiful Yellow River and 

visiting the rainbow coloured 

mountains in Zhangye Danxia 

National Geological Park. 

I also loved visiting the 

OPPORTUNITY: Phillip Millar, last year’s fellow, visited the Yellow River Mother Sculpture in 

Lanzhou. The river flows through the city. 

Crescent Lake and sand dunes 

in Dunhuang. I had never seen 

anything like these amazing 

landforms before, and my 

appreciation for the beautiful 

landscapes of China was increased 

markedly,” he said. 

Gansu Province is on the Silk 

Rd and close to the Gobi Desert. 

It is the Chinese Province in 

which New Zealander Rewi Alley 

established schools. 

Mr Alley was born in Springfield 

and this connection is a 

key part of the sister city relationship 

between Selwyn and 

Shandan. 

The Gansu Fellowship is 

open to anyone aged between 

22 and 50 who lives or works 

in the district – and is ready to 

embrace an exciting challenge 

and opportunity for personal 

growth.

The Selwyn Gallery marks 

their 20th Anniversary 

The Selwyn Gallery, Darfield is marking the 

20th anniversary of its opening on Friday, 

1 June 2018 with its exhibition, “The Revisit”. 

Philip Baldwin, Malvern Community Arts 

Council Chairperson commented: “We are 

thrilled that six artists who showed their works 

in 1998 at the first Selwyn Gallery exhibition— 

Simon Edwards, Mike Glover, Svetlana Orinko, 

Marcia Scott, Pattison Parkin, and Hamish 

Wright—have agreed to exhibit an all-new lineup 

of art work for the Gallery’s June exhibition”. 

Simon Edwards’ paintings possess an 

atmosphere of gentle melancholy. He says, 

“The landscape has been the source of my 

work…I use this as a departure point…setting 

up a dialogue between myself, the medium 

and the landscape”. Although his works seem 

to represent actual places, they are more 

often than not “imaginative” scenes built from 

fragments of memory or a part of a landscape, 

even a photograph. 

Mike Glover works predominantly in pastel, 

exploring the lands, skies, and waters of the 

South Island. “Looking down on a river winding 

through the hills or a spectacular sunset…there 

is a sense of awe of peace and of harmony 

with nature,” is how he describes his work. 

Mike is active in the community art scene, 

having helped to establish Down by the Liffey 

Gallery in Lincoln. 

Svetlana Orinko was able to begin her 

painting career in earnest after immigrating 

to New Zealand in 1992. She paints in oil 

and watercolour, and is attracted to subject 

matter with strong abstract patterns. Svetlana 

describes her style as contemporary realism, 

and has enjoyed much success as an artist. 

She has a growing reputation as one of the 

country’s top watercolour artists and teacher. 

Patterson Parkin’s distinct style show 

different viewpoints at the same time, within 

the same space, suggesting their threedimensional 

form and creating the illusion of 

depth. Working in bright colours and patterns 

heighten the diverse subject matter he depicts, 

including landscapes, nudes, musicians, and 

abstracts. He has also transitioned into wall 

assemblage, consisting of canvas covered 

shapes, both textured and painted. 

Marcia Scott’s medium of choice is usually 

acrylic, although she has moved from paper 

to canvas in recent years. Marcia also dabbles 

in watercolours and oils, and she loves the 

challenge of developing ideas with new media, 

including laser-cut timber panels as canvases, 

a range of “dust collector” decorative blocks, 

and the supreme hat award in the 2013 New 

Zealand Hat and Hair Art Awards. 

Hamish Wright’s travels in the Ukraine 

in 1998–99 and in Kiev during 2003—2004 

continue to influence his artistic style. His work 

explores iconography and propaganda of the 

Soviet Union, particularly commemorative 

badges, posters, and other Space Age 

memorabilia, creating works that are visually 

appealing and full of fun. Using bold colour, 

well defined forms, and a high level of surface 

finish suggest Pop Art and nostalgia. 

“We hope all of our supporters will visit the 

Selwyn Gallery during the month of June to see 

how the styles of these artists have evolved 

over the past 20 years”, Mr Baldwin concluded. 

Selwyn Gallery is open daily (except 

Mondays) from 10am to 4pm. Please come 

along and enjoy the variety of works on display.

planting at the Liffey 

Domain 

THANK YOU everyone 

for the great response to 

the request for helpers at 

the Liffey Domain planting 

co-ordinated by the 

Lincoln Envirotown Trust 

on May 12. 

About 30 people were 

involved, including helpers 

from the Lincoln community, 

Lincoln University 

and Lincoln High School. 

Amazingly, we managed 

to plant more than 400 

native trees in under two 

hours – helped by the fact 

that Gordon Boyle, a local 

farmer and member of 

Lincoln Envirotown, dug 

the holes for us with his 

post-hole driver. 

There were bell birds 

and fantails taking an 

interest in our efforts to 

improve their habitat. 

Thanks to Ralph Scott 

for his great organisation 

as well as the Lincoln 

Community Committee 

for providing the funding,

Youth council gets community support 

Selwyn Youth 

Council 

chairwoman 

Paige Sullivan 

talks about 

different 

projects going 

on in the 

district 

THE SELWYN community 

has really shown its support 

to the Selwyn Youth Council 

during the launch of the Selwyn 

Link bus trial, with laminated 

timetables being put up in bus 

shelters by community members 

in Leeston. 

The council was excited to run 

this trial, with incredible support 

shown through the high numbers 

on the buses each day. 

In total, we moved over 550 

people over the course of the 

trial. 

This data will be presented to 

Environment Canterbury next 

month by a small group of youth 

councillors. 

This trial showed a clear and 

urgent need for transportation 

through our more rural areas 

and showed a strong indication 

of isolation – not only in youth, 

but older generations also. 

By running this service, 

residents were also able to have 

greater access to council facilities. 

The use of the bus was different 

for everyone – for some, a swim 

at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, 

but for others, taking in the 

beautiful rural views of our district 

made for a day well spent. 

The youth council is now moving 

on to its latest project, Boost 

2018. 

This is looking to be a week of 

activities and workshops for the 

teenagers in our district. 

The Youth Council is looking 

forward to running some workshops 

of its own. 

We are currently working on 

logos and what the timetable will 

look like, but it is sure to be a fun 

and exciting event taking place 

towards the end of this year. 

We also have plans to run 

more ‘What do YOUth Think?’ 

events throughout the year, so 

that we can find out more about 

what young people need and 

want in Selwyn. 

We are also working on more 

ways to find out what young 

people think, one of which is a 

Selwyn youth residents’ survey. 

This is still in the works, but 

the youth council is excited to 

work together to champion the 

voice of the youth in our district. 

Our Facebook page is @ 

SelwynYouthCouncil which is a 

great place to get in touch with 

us, share your feedback, or just to 

see what we’re up to.

Readers respond to ECan 

and the district council’s 

clash over increasing bus 

fares 

Graham Pownceby – Is 

there anything helpful at all that 

ECan does? It would appear 

they are working for farmers 

and industry and screwing everyone 

else (us) over something 

shocking . . . almost like reverse 

prostitution, we pay them to 

screw us. 

Trevor Taylor – Cant come 

from rates . . . they are too high 

already . . . you want a service 

you pay for it. 

Barry Clarke – If they want 

more people on buses they have 

got a cheek putting the fares up. 

Perhaps they have to find the 

money to give the CEO a big 

increase in his pay packet. 

Tiffany Burke – Good, glad 

to hear it.

Move it 

to music 

Rolleston Community Centre’s Move it to Music class is getting Selwyn residents off the couch. 

The class, run by an experienced tutor, uses music, fun equipment and a sense of humour to get 

attendees moving. It’s aimed at those with arthritis or the less active who want to ‘use it not lose it’. 

Along with all of the physical benefits, the sessions create a social environment where many 

friendships are made. The class is followed by a coffee, biscuits and catch up. 

Kathleen Johnston, a visitor to Selwyn who attends the sessions, has had two hip replacements 

and a back operation and says the class is a great opportunity to exercise without too much strain 

on her joints. 

“This class encouraged me to get off the couch and get my body moving following my 

operations,” she says. 

“It has allowed me to be much more mobile, however the best part of coming along is the 

friendships I have made within the class.” 

Instructor Jan McKay has been running similar classes for nearly 20 years and says she enjoys 

seeing the benefits that they have for attendees, both physically and socially. 

“We get people coming along with a range of different health and mobility issues. The class allows 

them to get their bodies moving in a safe, accepting environment,” she says. 

“We focus on balance, stretching and increasing movement and mobility in joints. 

“The classes are always full of fun and laughs. I encourage everyone to sing along to the music 

with me.” 

The Move it to Music class is held on Wednesdays from 1.15–2.15pm at the Rolleston Community 

Centre, and costs $3 per session. No bookings required. 

For more information phone the Centre on 347 2882 or ask at the counter.

More flow for Lincoln Skate Park 

Younger skaters and scooter riders will enjoy the flow of the redesigned 

Lincoln Domain Skate Park – which will allow them to 

use the whole skate park easily, going from one feature to the next 

without stopping. 

Experienced skate park designer Dave North reviewed the 

incomplete skate park for the Council to make it more suitable for 

beginner to intermediate skaters and scooter riders. The park was 

expected to be completed earlier this year, however Council staff 

decided to tweak the skate park design as it was deemed to be 

unsuitable for younger people. 

“The changes that we’ve made to the skate park design will ensure 

flow. A small learners bowl will lead on to an intermediate bowl which 

will have lots of different carve lines as well as air and transfer lines,” 

Mr North says. “The street features will include both large and small 

hubba, ledges and rails. Everything will be set up to allow skaters and 

scooter riders to rapidly progress and learn,” Mr North says. 

Changes to the skate park’s design were also influenced by 

discussions with local skaters and skate park designers. 

Council Property and Commercial manager, Douglas Marshall, says 

he is pleased with the new design and expects the new skate park 

to be completed by the end of June, depending on weather. 

“We have made the skate park a bit bigger and with Dave’s help, 

we’ve ensured the park achieves its initial goal of being a quality 

facility where young skaters and scooter riders can learn and have 

fun,” Mr Marshall says. “We understand that locals have had to 

be really patient while we get the skate park right, however we’re 

confident that the new design hits the mark.” 

The Lincoln Reserve Playground is now closed and will be relocated 

to the other side of the pedestrian path to provide more room to 

extend the skate park. The playground is expected to be reopened 

in June. 

The main design changes include: 

· Forming the existing bowl into a mini bowl which is more 

suitable for younger/learner skater and scooter riders 

· Swapping the stairs for a large hubba ramp and rail 

· Constructing a new 1200cm deep bowl, a ditch-style banked 

area and smaller flat ledges and rail 

· The existing quarter pipe will remain

Our People 

SELWYN TIMES 

Steven Moe 

Raising the curtains on community 

Rolleston’s Steven Moe 

has spent more than 

a year working to turn 

his idea of creating a 

community cinema into 

a reality. Emily O’Connell 

asked him why he 

decided to undertake the 

project and how it will 

benefit the area 

Can you tell me about the 

project? 

Basically, I’ve got four young 

children and they’re all preteenage 

age, and when I look at 

Selwyn, there’s not that much infrastructure 

for things for teenagers 

and for young people to 

do. So about a year ago, I started 

talking with friends in the community 

about this idea of setting 

up a cinema, which would actually 

be a social enterprise. Which 

means the profits go back into 

the community rather than just 

being about creating dividends 

for shareholders. So the desire 

behind it is really to have a place 

where young people can come; 

they can have community; they 

can watch movies, but then the 

profits go back into the community 

itself and back into the 

young people who are actually 

watching the films. 

Where would the money 

actually go? 

The idea right now, and it’s 

still being finalised, is that there 

would be a charitable trust. And 

the charitable trust would own 

most of the shares in the operating 

company which would run 

the cinema. We haven’t worked 

out the percentages yet that the 

charitable trust would have. It 

would give money to other charities, 

so groups that are working 

with young people in education 

or outdoor activities or other 

things. 

Why did you choose a 

cinema? 

I was just looking at the landscape 

of what we’ve got and what 

we don’t have yet. 

IDEA: Steven Moe with his children Shanna, Ayala and Isabel at Rolleston Reserve where he 

plans to build a cinema with the majority of profits going back into the community. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

When will this happen? 

So I had this idea, right? I 

didn’t know that the district 

council itself had in mind that it 

was going to be building a cinema. 

So originally I was thinking 

it was going to take millions 

of dollars to actually build the 

building, and actually it would 

be very difficult to do if you had 

to do that. But in fact, in the new 

Rolleston town square, which is 

going to go in right behind New 

World, they’ve actually allocated 

a space for a cinema. So the 

council itself is going to be funding 

the building of the infrastructure, 

which is fantastic. I’ve 

met with the council and they’ve 

said we will be working for an 

operator of the cinema. So if we 

could come in as a community 

and give them an alternative, 

which is, not only will we run 

the cinema in a commercially viable 

way, we will actually use the 

best proportions of the profits to 

go back into the building up of 

our community itself. 

Would some of the profits not 

go to the charitable trust? 

Basically the council will be 

building the structure but they 

won’t be putting in the projection 

equipment, the seating, the 

carpet, all the bits that make a 

cinema, a cinema. There’s going 

to be a cost involved to do that. 

So at present, the only way I can 

think to get that sort of funding 

is to get out and appeal to private 

investors to also be putting in 

some proportion. It’s early days, 

but the idea is that they would 

own a proportion of the cinema 

so they could draw on some of 

the profits as well. Most of it 

would go back into the charity, 

but we would need to have some 

kick-start funding to pay. We’re 

estimating about $750,000 would 

be the cost to get the equipment 

and set up. 

What made you do this? 

In my profession, I actually 

work as a lawyer, so I wrote a 

book about social enterprises last 

year. And in talking with people 

about this new way of doing 

things – the idea of combining 

profit and purpose – it just made 

me realise that actually I was 

living in a community where 

we could actually put this into 

practice, rather than it just being 

a theoretical thing. And because 

I’ve got the background and 

experience of helping others 

with their ideas, why couldn’t 

we do it ourselves? So I’ve kickstarted 

the idea but some more 

members of the community are 

welcome to get involved and it 

would require a huge variety 

of backgrounds and resources 

from accountants to social media 

people to designers. It’s not just 

going to be one person; it’s going 

to require a community effort. 

Do you visit the cinema 

much? 

So we go when we can. The 

reality is with young children it 

involves getting a babysitter in 

and often the cost is as much to 

pay to the babysitter as it was to 

go to the movies. But yes, love 

the movies, and I just think 

they’re a great way to tell stories. 

What is your favourite movie? 

It’s a movie called My Neighbor 

Totoro and it’s actually a children’s 

movie which came out in 

Japan, I think it was in the late 

1980s. But it touches on themes 

which are deeper than the children 

watching would realise. 

How long have you been a 

lawyer for? 

I qualified in 2001. So it’s quite 

a while really. The other thing is 

I have an accent, but I actually 

went to Canterbury University 

and so Canterbury’s always been 

home for me. But I have lived 

overseas. I lived in Toyko for four 

years, I lived in London for three 

years, and I lived in Sydney for 

four years. 

All the time working as a 

lawyer, so kind of bringing skills 

back that I gained in that overseas 

experience. I’ve been back in 

New Zealand for two and a half 

years. 

What made you want to go 

overseas? 

I think just experiencing other 

cultures and seeing what else 

is out there. It’s a typical OE 

experience. I met my wife, Ellie, 

she’s from England, and we were 

going to go for two years and it 

became 11 years. One of those 

stories, you know? But we had 

a fascinating time. We loved 

Japan – the food, the culture, an 

amazing place. And England, 

you can travel and see all parts 

of Europe very easily. So that was 

wonderful.

cinema in Rolleston 

Backyard Critters 

And then as we were deciding 

to come back to New Zealand, 

we thought we would try Sydney, 

and a year there became four 

years. And we enjoyed it but we 

thought where do we want to be 

when we retire? Let’s get back 

to the country where we want 

to build our networks and build 

our community and actually 

feed in and help the community 

to grow. 

Have you always wanted to be 

a lawyer? 

I started studying when I was 

18 . . . I didn’t have a dream as a 

child to be a lawyer, but it certainly 

has been something that 

helps to unlock doors and opens 

up opportunities to do a diverse 

range of things. 

Tell me about your children? 

Shanna’s 10-years-old, 

Ayala’s eight-years-old, Isabel’s 

six-years-old and Isaac is threeyears-old. 

So pretty young. Isaac 

goes to a pre-school in Rolleston 

and the other three are at Rolleston 

School. So we’re very much 

committed to Rolleston and the 

Selwyn community. 

What are your hobbies? 

One of the key things that 

I love doing is interviewing 

people. So I have a podcast 

where I publish stories of inspiring 

people that I’ve met and 

they’re deeper than just a 5min 

conversation, they go for 45min 

to an hour. So that podcast is 

called Seeds. As well as that I love 

family history – so researching 

family history and understanding 

where I’m from and how we 

fit together. 

What’s the most interesting 

thing you’ve learnt from looking 

up your family history? 

I think each of us have limited 

time with our lives, and the 

thing that I’ve found encouraging 

looking at my ancestors is to 

think about how I’m using my 

time, how I’m using my life, and 

what role I’m playing. 

Where did you grow up? 

I actually grew up in Christchurch. 

My parents immigrated 

from North America and we 

TOP PICK: Steven Moe’s favourite movie is My Neighbor Totoro, 

a Japanese children’s film which touches on some deep themes. 

moved here in 1983. So we first 

moved down to Oamaru and 

then to Christchurch in 1989. 

How were you when you 

moved to New Zealand? 

I was seven. 

Can you tell me about the 

book Social Enterprises in New 

Zealand, which you wrote? 

My role when I was overseas is 

I acted for banks and large corporates 

who had huge amounts 

of money. And when I would 

call the client – I would say 

congratulations the deal’s done, 

then basically, what’s the colour 

of your next Lamborghini? Now 

I deal with clients and their 

questions and I call them and say 

we’ve set up a charitable trust or 

we’ve got your business off the 

ground, you can now go out and 

hope to benefit the community 

through your social enterprise. 

So there’s a real mindset shift 

there. I realised that what was 

lacking for people was information. 

So my intention with 

the book was to pull together 

resources that tell you how to set 

up a social enterprise, explain 

what they are, explain the options 

of companies v trusts and 

other different models. 

Do you plan on writing another 

book? 

I think I will. I will definitely 

do a second edition of this one.

AN INSECT species which has 

been obvious in my backyard 

over the last summer is the 

green vegetable bug, Nezara 

viridula. 

Sometimes called stink or 

shield bug, this exotic pest 

first arrived in New Plymouth 

in 1944 and has spread to the 

warmer parts of New Zealand. 

Adults are 12-14mm in length, 

usually green, but can be yellow/ 

orange or brown in the nymphal 

stages. 

They have a line of three white 

spots about a third of the distance 

down their body. 

Like other true bugs, they have 

a piercing and sucking mouthpart 

under its head which it 

uses to extract plant juices from 

many hosts including beans, 

tomatoes, corn, silverbeet, 

pumpkin, cauliflower, cabbage, 

marrow, turnips, rhubarb, kale 

and grapes, to name a few. 

Adult females lay rafts of 

40-60 eggs under leaves under 

leaves. Cylindrical eggs 1.3mm 

long hatch after 10-20 days and 

nymphs emerge. 

Colours differ from adults, 

ranging from black to orange, 

with patches of cream, yellow, 

green and red. 

The green vegetable bug has 

two parasitoid wasp natural enemies 

in New Zealand; one that 

controls eggs, while the other 

wasp attacks nymphs.



SELWYN TIMES 

News 

The legacy of Maori settlers remains 

THE SELWYN District has seen 

a surge of migration into the 

district in recent times, but the 

very first migrants came to the 

area over 700 years ago. 

The history of our local 

tangata-whenua (people of the 

land) started as a combination of 

oral myths and legends passed 

from generation to generation 

and it was not until European 

colonisation that their history 

was written. 

The first permanent Maori 

settlement in the area was at 

Taumutu, where Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere is opened out to 

the sea at the southern end of 

Kaitorete Spit. 

Over the centuries there were 

a series of tribal migrations from 

the North Island to the South, 

with the first recorded seasonal 

settlement being established 

by the Waitaha tribe in the late 

1400s. 

However, Waitaha tradition 

and archaeological evidence 

suggests that there was similar 

transient settlement much earlier 

than this. 

Ngati Mamoe were the next 

tribe to frequent the area in 

the late 1500s, but it was Te 

Rakitamau of the Ngai Tahu iwi 

who built the first permanent pa, 

Te-pa-o-ikamutu, at Taumutu in 

the early 1700s. 

Historian and district council staff member Wayne 

Stack continues his monthly look at Selwyn’s past. 

Anyone with suggestions for future features can 

phone Wayne on 021 119 9107. This month’s feature 

covers the early history of Taumutu and Maori. 

SIGNIFICANT: The Hon Hori Kerei Taiaroa with his wife and 

grandchildren at his home, Awhitu House, in the late 1890s. 

The lake provided a bountiful 

year-round food supply, such as 

eels and flounder, with the close 

proximity to the sea making it 

easier for travelling up and down 

the coastline. 

Being so close to the sea also 

had some drawbacks. 

Our Great 

history 

WITH WAYNE STACK 

Sea erosion has totally destroyed 

the site of the original 

village and the location was 

exposed to coastal attacks from 

other tribes. 

Sometime later, Ngai Tahu 

chief, Te Ruahikihiki, moved 

from Akaroa Harbour and built 

a new pa, Orariki, on higher 

ground behind the beach at 

Taumutu. 

This pa was easier to defend 

as it was surrounded by swamps 

and enclosed with a wooden 

palisade. 

The pa was located at the current 

site of Hone Wetere Church 

and remnants of the ramparts 

can still be seen in the church 

yard. 

A third fortified pa was later 

built by Ruahikihiki’s son, Moki 

II, close to the present site of the 

Ngati Moki Marae. 

The Taumutu hapu, Ngai Te 

Ruahikihiki, had close ties with 

other Ngai Tahu sub-tribes near 

Kaiapoi and Banks Peninsula, as 

well as at Otakou on the Otago 

Peninsula. 

In the 1820s they became 

involved in the Kai Huanga 

(Eat Relation) feud when the 

brother-in-law of their chief was 

killed as retribution following 

a traditional insult against the 

tribe’s paramount chief. 

As a result, the Taumutu hapu 

suffered from ‘Utu’ (revenge) and 

many people were killed. 

At this time, Ngai Tahu 

warriors from Otakou, under 

Matenga Taiaroa, travelled north 

to protect their Taumutu kin and 

eventually persuaded them to 

return to Otakou with them for 

fear of continuing retribution. 

A number of years later Chief 

Tamaiharanui, who had been 

the main aggressor towards the 

Taumutu hapu, enticed them 

back to the area by guaranteeing 

their safety. 

However, this was only a ruse 

and he proved treacherous by 

ambushing the returning Taumutu 

people on Kaitorete Spit 

when they were nearing their pa.

strong in the Selwyn district 

Only a few escaped with their 

lives. 

Tamaiharanui was later defeated 

by Te Rauparaha when he 

raided south in the late 1820s, 

which saved the people of Taumutu 

from further retribution. 

When Bishop Selwyn visited 

Taumutu in 1844 it was only a 

shadow of its former prosperity. 

He described the pa as being a 

collection of a ‘few huts enclosed 

by a fence’ with only around 40 

inhabitants. 

The earlier massacre would 

have certainly played a part in its 

decline, but an accurate account 

of the population is hard to determine 

given the nomadic life of 

its people who regularly travelled 

to the West Coast for pounamu 

(greenstone) and to the south for 

muttonbirds. 

Christianity became an important 

facet of life at Taumutu. 

During Bishop Selwyn’s visit he 

was surprised to discover that 

several local Maori could read 

and recite the Lord’s Prayer. 

Although he was the first European 

clergyman to visit the area, 

Christianity was already spreading 

through Maori converts. 

Taumutu became a Methodist 

outpost from 1845 after the visit 

from a Methodist missionary, 

Charles Creed. 

HISTORIC: The Hone Wetere (John Wesley) Church at Taumutu. Built in 1885 on the site of Te Ruahikihiki’s pa. Right – The Ngati 

Moki Marae, established on the site of the pa built by Moki II. 

Services were held in Maori 

and English, with the district 

later being served by Reverend 

Te Kote Te Ratou from 1865 until 

1891. 

Built in 1885, the historic Hone 

Wetere (John Wesley) Church, 

remains the spiritual heart of the 

Ngati Moki Marae and its people. 

The site it was built on has 

great spiritual and historical 

significance for Ngai Tahu in 

that it is the original site of Te 

Ruahikihiki’s pa and its location 

was seen as providing a special 

relationship with the hills of 

Banks Peninsula, the mountains 

of Southern Alps and the water of 

Te Waihora. 

The most notable member 

of the Taumutu community 

in the late colonial period was 

Ngai Tahu paramount chief, the 

Honourable Hori Kerei Taiaroa 

of Otakou. 

Son of Te Matenga Taiaroa, he 

was prominent in the judicial and 

political campaigns to uphold 

Ngai Tahu land claims. 

In 1871 he was elected to the 

House of Representatives as the 

member for Southern Maori 

and was successful in gaining 

financial compensation for his 

people, as well as the return of 

some land. 

In 1878, Taiaroa and his family 

moved from Otakou to Te Awhitu, 

a stately two-storied wooden 

mansion he had built at Taumutu 

on his ancestral land. 

This later became the home of 

successive Ngai Tahu paramount 

chiefs, but tragically burnt to the 

ground in 2003 with the loss of 

much historical taonga. 

When Parliament was not in 

session, Taiaroa lived the life of a 

country gentleman here and was 

hugely respected by both Maori 

and European alike. 

He was later appointed to the 

Legislative Council (the now defunct 

upper house of Parliament), 

a position he held until his death 

in 1905. 

He was remembered for his 

determination in pushing Ngai 

Tahu land claims, which to him 

were a matter of family mana, as 

well as justice for his iwi. 

However, he also played an 

important role in wider Maori 

politics. 

And it was Taiaroa who was 

the major financial patron for 

the building of the historic Hone 

Wetere Church. 

Taiaroa’s legacy remains in 

the form of his descendants; 

some who still live in the district 

and who provide leadership 

within the Te Taumutu Runanga 

in maintaining shared guardianship 

of Te Waihora/ Lake 

Ellesmere.

Lincoln footballer nets 

national schools call-up 

LINCOLN HIGH School student 

Zoe McMeeken is making the 

right impression in her Halswell 

14 premier boys football team, 

with both national selectors 

and the Mainland Pride taking 

notice. 

Zoe has been named in the 

under-15 secondary schools team 

to travel to Sydney from July 

8-14. 

The team will play three games 

against New South Wales age 

group teams. 

She is also part of the Mainland 

Pride wider-training squad. 

The 14-year-old winger has 

been outflanking the boys for the 

past three years and said playing 

against them had only positive 

effects on her game. 

“I really enjoy it because they’re 

a lot more physical when they go 

in to challenge you and I think it 

forces me to match it and protect 

the ball more,” she said. 

She first started playing at age 

five in a Rolleston ‘first kicks’ 

event. 

A talented runner and crosscountry 

athlete, it wasn’t until 

year 9 when football became her 

focus. 

“I did enjoy running and crosscountry 

and it’s helped me in my 

position in football, but I enjoyed

she said.

“I’m realistic that I don’t expect 

to make the Pride squad this year 

since I’m so young but I know

As for the boys, they know 

what to expect “I’ve been playing 

for Halswell long enough that 

I think they are used to me by 

now,” she said.

Rakaia were sitting third in 

section B before the weekend, 

but their bonus point 33-29 win 

over Kaiapoi propelled them to 

the top by the end of the day. 

Prebbleton and Springston 

were both ahead of Rakaia but 

a 17-12 win to Prebbleton saw 

them earn a home quarter-final 

against Lincoln. 

Wet grounds made expansive

Lincoln Combined 

Proud supporters of 

Rugby & Netball in Selwyn 

rue poor first half in loss to Christ’s 


LINCOLN COMBINED were 

left to rue a poor first half in their 

29-5 defeat to Christ’s College at 

North Hagley Park on Saturday. 

Lincoln trailed 22-0 at halftime 

with coach Mike Wilson saying 

they did not match the intensity 

of the competition front-runners 

in the first 35min. 

“We weren’t physical enough, 

didn’t put the shoulders into 

our tackles to drive them back 

and we struggled to get field 

position,” Wilson said. 

“Any ball we did get, we threw 

away. We just seemed rather 

rattled.” 

Wilson said Christ’s played to 

the wet conditions very well. 

“It wasn’t raining but there was 

a lot of surface water. Christ’s 

kept their attack in tight and 

really made us work defensively. 

“They are a very well-drilled 

team, everyone knows their role.” 

Wilson said his players got 

a stern team-talk at the break 

and he was thrilled with the 

response. 

“[In] the second half, we really 

struck to our task, hit the rucks 

hard and made our presence felt 

in contact,” he said. 

“To keep the score at 7-5 

showed that if we’d played like 

Lincoln’s Wil Gualter looks to offload the ball. 

PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER 

that for the whole game, then 

you never know what might have 

happened.” 

Wilson praised the impact 

of reserve loose-forward Cam 

Jordan who put his body on the 

line countless times. 

“He’s a guy who was a prop last 

year and came to us at the start 

of the season and said that he 

wanted to be a loose-forward,” 

Wilson said. 

“On Saturday, he showed what 

he can do in that position with 

the work he did at the breakdown 

and the tackles he made.” 

Wilson also praised reserve 

winger Ben Sisson for this workrate 

in conditions not conducive 

to free-flowing back play, 

Lincoln will host Mid- 

Canterbury Combined on 

Saturday and will be eager to 

return to winning ways. 

Harry Zarifeh breaks through a tackle to score in the corner, 

while both sides challenge for the ball at lineout time. 

Bryce Hargreaves is brought down after making a break.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

Back to back national champion 

To call a 12 year old one of the greats may 

seem a little premature but when it comes 

to two-time New Zealand champion kart 

racer Jacob Douglas, the label may just fit. 

For one so young, he already has an 

impressive line-up of wins, titles, and 

experiences. 

“Last year,” says Jacob’s father Craig, “Jake 

raced for (sponsor) Aluminos at Supernats 

21 in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is probably 

the biggest kart meeting on the planet.” 

Jacob has also represented New Zealand 

in Italy, raced in Thailand and California, 

and has several New Zealand and local 

titles. He’s the only driver to win back to 

back NZ championships in his class. 

Jacob lives in Lincoln with his mum and 

dad, Rowena and Craig, and twin sister 

Hayley. It is fair to say they are a family of 

high achievers. 

“I’ve taught my children that it is okay to 

want to be the best,” Craig says. While Jacob 

takes to the track, Hayley is making her own 

statement on the ice rink. Which makes for 

a gruelling schedule, but for a family that 

is passionate about and supportive of each 

other’s efforts and achievements, it’s all in a 

day’s work. 

Jacob attends Medbury School in 

Christchurch. They are encouraging of his 

endeavours but also demand he maintains 

his school work and grades, which he does 

and has done since he started kart racing at 

the age of 8. 

The international and national 

racing schedule demands dedication, 

commitment, and a mental strength 

beyond most 12 year olds and lest you fall 

into the trap of thinking it is dad’s dream 

and not Jacob’s, spend five minutes with 

Jacob and the thought is easily dispelled. 

Jacob’s knowledge of racing is astounding, 

and his passion and dream for the future is 

unquestioned. 

When asked where he wants to be in ten 

years, his answer is unequivocal, “in F1 

(Formula One), or on the road to it.” 

If not F1? 

“It’d be cool to do open wheels – but 

V8s, then.” With people like Craig Baird, 

Scott McLaughlan, Kenny Smith and Greg 

Murphy watching Jacob’s rise, he has a solid 

future lined up. 

Jacob is quick, however, to acknowledge 

that he can’t do it alone. He is supported by 

a dedicated team of coaches and mentors, 

and sponsors like Aluminos in the United 

States. 

Local sponsors and Jacob’s coaches, 

Matthew and Tiffany Hamilton, who 

between them have numerous national 

and world racing titles and who own WKS 

KartStore in Christchurch, recognise 

Jacob’s potential and believe in him. They 

are some of his strongest supporters. 

“To do what he’s done in Thailand, when 

he won there and to do so well in Italy and 

America – he’s really very good,” Matthew 

says. 

“There are a few kids in New Zealand who 

have got what it takes but Jacob is definitely 

the top of that age group and he’s proven 

that two years in a row. Anyone who wins 

nationals back to back has certainly got 

talent.” 

Jacob Douglas is another name to watch 

in New Zealand motorsport. He has F1 

square in his sights but he is also aware 

of the challenging road ahead. Even 

with the right support in place, adequate 

sponsorship, and in a highly competitive 

structure, it comes down to just a couple 

of things, Jacob’s attitude and his natural 

talent and ability. 

When asked why he’s so good, his 

response sings. “The practise and the effort 

of the people around me and how much I 

want it, if I had the same people and their 

effort around me but I didn’t put in the 

effort, I wouldn’t be any good.” 

Winning words from a 12 year old. 

And what’s it like being number one in 

New Zealand? Jacob thinks for a moment, 

and with a modest smile, says, “it’s cool”.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

One-stop engine 

repairs and service 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrol is a local one-stop shop for everything related 

to servicing and repairing cars, trucks, boats, machinery and more. In 

fact, they can repair almost anything with an engine whether it’s a diesel 

or petrol engine. 

Owner Simon Wilson emphasises the 

importance of a well maintained vehicle. 

All vehicles need regular maintenance, 

whether old or new. As drivers, it is 

very easy to think that if the car starts 

and goes it must be okay. Regular 

maintenance however, can identify 

the beginnings of problems that might 

become more expensive and a whole lot 

of hassle, if left unchecked. 

At Rolleston Diesel & Petrol they 

use the latest diagnostic equipment. 

Together with the combined expertise 

and experience Allan and Hayden bring 

to the table, you can be assured that every 

job, whether a service or repair, is carried 

out to exacting standards. They fit only 

good quality parts and components 

specifically manufactured for the vehicle 

brand, and use only the best oil and 

fluids. A high standard is not just a goal, 

it is a promise. 

WOF certificates can be issued quickly 

and is an ideal time to have your vehicle 

serviced too. 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrol is experienced 

in repairing all vehicles, specialising in 

brakes and suspensions. At this time of 

year these are especially important to 

have operating optimally. 

In the event of a breakdown, Rolleston 

Diesel & Petrol offers a tow truck service 

and where appropriate, an offsite repair 

service. They also have courtesy cars 

to minimise the down time having a 

vehicle repaired can create – another 

consideration for busy lives. 

At the Jones Road workshop, there is 

a wide range of products and it is the 

official stockist of brands such as Penrite 

Oil, Maxis Tyres, Ryco Oil Filters, and 

Supercharge Batteries. 

Rolleston Diesel & Petrol are at 839 

Jones Road and you can call them on 03 

347 7110. After Hours call 027 272 9213

SELWYN TIMES 

PETS & PAWS 

Mobile groom 

for your very 

important pooch 

Jim’s Dog Wash offers to wash and groom you dog in 

the convenience of you own driveway. Jim’s Dog Wash 

Selwyn franchise owner Jill Smolenski, promises to 

take the hassle out of grooming your dog by coming 

to you, whether it be at home or work. 

The Jim’s Dog Wash trailer is fully equipped with a 

hydraulic grooming table, hydro bath with gas heated 

hot water and a powerful dryer. All Jill requires is 

power and occasionally a top of up of water. 

The service is extremely convenient for dog owners 

as it means the owner can continue with their daily 

routine whilst Jill grooms their dog or dogs in the 

driveway. 

The service also proves important for those dogs that 

stress in the salon environment as the service is one 

on one and in the dogs own surroundings, therefore 

eliminating the stress of being in a busy salon. 

You precious pet is in good hands with Jill. She has 

always loved animals and after a successful 35 year 

career in the Standardbred Horse breeding industry, 

decided to make a change and take on a Jim’s Dog 

Wash franchise giving her the freedom to be her own 

boss and to work with her other love – dogs. Jill takes 

a patient and calm approach with the dogs and does 

her best to make it a pleasant experience. Jill always 

gets a buzz seeing the finished look, after the groom. 

“I have been really well supported in Selwyn as it is 

a community that gets behind local businesses and I 

have met so many lovely people and their dogs,” says 

Jill. 

Book one of the services that Jims Dog Wash offer 

such as coat tidy up, coat strip out, full groom service, 

including nails, ears and pads or enquire about the 

flea and tick treatments. 

Pick up the VIP (Very Important Pooch) card that 

entitles your dog’s sixth groom at 50 percent off.

Gardening 




Keep veges growing to protect beds 

ALTHOUGH THE weather has 

cooled, there are still a few tasks 

to be done in the garden at this 

time of year. 

Here are some tips to get you 

started. 

•Vege gardens – The winter 

vege garden should be well 

established by now and most of 

your seedlings should already be 

planted. Continue to sow broad 

beans and transplant seedlings 

of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli 

and silverbeet for a continuous 

supply over winter. Sow green 

manure crops such as lupin and 

mustard in the parts of the vege 

garden that will be empty during 

the winter months. This will add 

nutrients into the soil and protect 

beds over winter. 

•Strawberries – It’s the 

traditional time of the year for 

final preparation and planting 

of strawberry plants. Areas to 

be planted should be mounded 

80-100cm above existing ground 

level. Incorporate large amounts 

of compost into the strawberry 

bed. New plants or offsets from 

last year’s plants should be 

planted 15-20cm apart. 

•Fruit trees – Pip and stone 

fruit will have shed their leaves 

and pruning can now begin. We 

do this as early possible with 

pip and stone fruit to avoid the 

CHORES: Plant broad beans now for a continuous supply. It’s also time to trim your hedges. There will be little growth over the 

winter so they should stay tidy until spring. 

infection of silver leaf. Remove 

all weak and inward growing 

branches and reduce the height 

of trees to allow for easy picking 

and maintenance. After pruning, 

spray with a copper compound to 

help prevent any re-infection of 

fungal diseases. 

•Hedges – It’s an ideal time for 

a final tidy up and hedge trims. 

But remember, there will be no 

new growth until spring, so final 

trims should not be too vigorous 

so the plants don’t stay bare 

looking. 

•Roses – It is possibly a little 

too early for pruning, and it does 

depend largely on the weather. 

In the meantime, apply a copper 

spray to prevent infection 

of fungal diseases in spring. 

Remove all dead leaves around 

the base of the rose bushes and 

apply compost as both a soil 

conditioner and mulch. 

•Lawns – Grass growth has 

now ceased due to the cooler 

weather. It is an excellent time 

to level lawns with a roller as the 

moist soil makes levelling quite 

easily. 

•Paths and walkways – Paths 

around the house and through 

the garden can become very 

slippery during the winter 

months; water blasting can 

quickly remedy this problem. In 

winter months, we mainly utilise 

paths especially when there are 

boggy parts in the garden or 

lawn. For this reason, you may 

wish to consider additional paths 

to provide easier access. 

•Container gardens – Brighten 

up decks and entrances with 

containers full of blooming 

winter annuals such as cinerarias, 

pansies, primulas, snapdragons 

and violas. 

Finally, check local garden 

centres for newly arrived winter 

stock of trees and shrubs as 

June is a very safe time for 

planting.

Book discussion groups are a

The sessions are organised to 

be a discussion over a cup of tea 

and a bikkie, rather than strict 

literary criticism. The groups 

read across a variety of genres 

and this helps extend the reading 

experience to include things not 

necessarily chosen before.

What to watch for when 

the mode of sale changes 

Buying a property is rarely straightforward, 

which is no surprise given that it’s the 

biggest financial commitment most people 

ever make. When you combine big sums of 

money and a considerable level of emotional 

investment, even the simplest transaction 

can be stressful. We hear a lot about the need 

for buyers to do their homework, but there 

are plenty of reasons for sellers to be careful 

too. 

If you’re selling a property with a real estate 

agent, you must sign an agency agreement 

that sets out all the terms and conditions 

of your contract with them, including how 

much commission they will earn from the 

sale and how the property will be marketed. 

That’s why it’s so important to get legal advice 

before you sign an agency agreement. If it’s a 

standard agreement, you usually retain the 

right to sell the property privately but it’s a 

good idea to check this. If you have signed 

an agreement with an agency but decide for 

whatever reason to opt for a DIY private 

sale, you should double and triple-check 

whether the agency agreement requires you 

to pay commission to the real estate agent or 

agency. 

Most agencies use the Real Estate Authority 

(REA) standard clauses in agency 

agreements, which set out certain terms 

and conditions for the contract and the 

payment of commission. According to the 

standard clauses, commission is payable if 

the property is sold within the active term 

of the agreement (normally 90 days) or if it 

is sold privately within six months after the 

end of the term to a buyer that the agent had 

earlier introduced to the property. In other 

words, if the buyer visits an open home run 

by the real estate agent, and then enters into a 

private sale with the seller within six months 

after the end of the agreement, the seller is 

still obliged to pay commission to the agent. 

This can vary depending on whether it is 

a sole or general agreement – talk to your 

lawyer before you sign up. 

Both sole agency agreements and general 

agency agreements provide for commission 

payments after the agreed period ends. If a 

seller enters into a sale within six months of 

the agency agreement ending with a buyer 

who was introduced by the real estate agent 

(or the agent facilitated the sale), then the 

seller must pay the agent commission just as 

they would have done when the agreement 

was still current. So, if the agent brings a 

potential buyer to a property in March, the 

agency agreement expires in April, and the 

seller and purchaser enter into a private 

sale agreement in May, the seller will have 

to pay the agent commission. The sale must 

become unconditional (which is when all 

the conditions of the sale and purchase 

agreement have been met), but it doesn’t 

matter whether it goes unconditional during 

or after the agency period, or during or after 

the six months following expiry, so long as 

the sale and purchase agreement is entered 

into within those timeframes. So, before you 

sign an agency agreement, ask the agency 

if it uses standard REA clauses. If it doesn’t 

you may be exposed to more complicated 

commission risks and you should seek legal 

advice. 

Generally, any issues arising from the agency 

agreement/arrangements between the seller 

and the real estate agent won’t have a direct 

effect on the separate sale and purchase 

agreement between the seller and the buyer. 

However, the wrangling involved may create 

headaches or delays that you as a buyer 

wouldn’t want to be troubled with. 

If you do decide that you’re really keen on a 

property in this situation, seek legal advice 

before getting involved (and especially 

before signing anything). Remember too 

that the REA can help you with questions 

and complaints about sales involving 

licensed real estate agents, but it’s unable to 

step in if you have a problem with a private 

and unlicensed seller.

selling property, check out settled.govt.nz.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

From bohemian chic 

to statement ceilings 

Keeping up with home trends is a passion for 

some, and arduous for others. But who hasn’t 

had a quick look at some Pinterest boards to 

find some ideas to spruce up the spare room 

or the entrance way? 

Apparently, there are more than ten 

billion ideas for cool things to do at 

home, just on this site. Whether joining 

wooden crates to make a book case, using 

an old rake to hang wine glasses, there is 

something for every home-owner, from 

dilettante to serious DIY enthusiast, to add 

to the to-do list. 

From the literally billions of ideas, 

it is often possible to recognise trends 

emerging, trends perhaps in simple things 

such as colours or patterns, or more 

complex trends in landscaping ideas or 

themes for bedrooms. 

Here are a few trends taking over 

homes in 2018, according to these often 

anonymous authorities who seem to 

have their fingers on the pulse of what is 

popular with creative home owners. 

Softer colours. While there is still a place 

for strong, bold colours, softer hues such 

as Resene’s ‘Dusted Blue’ or ‘Soothe’ are 

creating calm spaces. Last year, Pantone 

announced ‘Ultra Violet’ the colour of the 

year for 2018. Softer variations of purple, 

such as lavender and jacaranda are being 

seen in New Zealand homes. 

Upcycling has been popular for a while 

but 2018 might be the year it really takes 

off. It’s very green, repurposing what you 

already have, which is also easy on the 

finances and is an opportunity to get a 

little creative. 

According to freshome.com, ‘haute 

bohemian’ design is the newest new thing 

and is, “a modern take on what it means to 

be bohemian”. A simple way to describe it 

is that the functional parts of your design 

should remain neutral. The decorative 

elements should bring a sense of style. 

Hence, bed and side tables have neutral 

tones; the throw pillows, blankets and 

accessories adopt a more “interesting” and 

personalised aspect. 

Vogue says ‘statement ceilings’ are, 

“2018’s most romantic and dramatic décor 

trend”. Apparently, ceilings have been 

ignored for 70 years! But no more. Bold 

paints, tailored wallpapers, patterns, and 

even murals are adorning the fifth wall. 

Black is back. Whether tapware, sinks, or 

entire bathrooms and kitchens, jet black, 

with splashes of colour or highlighted 

by earthy tones, is popular. Feature walls 

or the central aspect of a dark, moody 

bedroom theme, black is quietly chic 

again. 

Big art. Murals, statement pieces, even 

gaudy sculptures, the bigger the better. 

Display them properly, with good lighting. 

Put them in the entranceway where 

everyone coming and going will see them. 

There are billions more ideas. You can 

follow the trends, or set them. The beauty 

is that personalising your home can be as 

simple as taking one idea and making it 

work for you in a different way. Browse 

the popular websites, such as Pinterest, 

Resene, and even Facebook, but be careful 

as it can be very time consuming and 

remember, what is trendy today may be 

passe tomorrow.

Buying a property with trees 

13 

enjoyment of their land, which means 

that you can’t let your trees become a 

problem at their place (and vice versa). 

If your neighbours have trees that are 

giving you grief, think carefully before 

swinging an axe or chainsaw. Legally, you 

are entitled to trim any branches or roots 

from a tree (or large shrub, or plant) that 

encroach on your property unless they 

are protected, in which case you may 

need resource consent first. However, for 

the sake of being a decent human being, 

it’s a good idea to talk to the tree’s owners 

first. Don’t be tempted to take matters 

into your own hands and poison the tree, 

or trespass onto a neighbour’s property 

to chop parts of it off. One way to resolve 

the situation is to seek advice from a 

professional arborist. Getting an expert 

to prune the tree in a way that doesn’t 

destroy it completely will be far cheaper 

than engaging a lawyer. 

In the worst-case scenario, if you can’t sort 

out tree issues with a chat over the fence 

or the aid of an arborist, it may be time to 

seek help from the Disputes Tribunal or 

the District Court. If the trees are causing 

a nuisance, such as blocking views and/ 

or light, and you’re unable to come to an 

agreement with the neighbour, you can 

apply to the District Court for an order to 

get the neighbour to trim or remove the 

tree. 

For independent advice on buying or 

selling property, check out settled.govt. 

nz. 

Whoever said ‘the best time to plant a tree 

was 20 years ago’ obviously never dealt 

with overhanging branches, wayward 

roots or grumpy neighbours. As anyone 

who lives in a leafy area will tell you, trees 

can cause no end of bother. Trees can 

block views, damage fences and interfere 

with power lines. Roots can disrupt pipes, 

branches can reduce sunlight availability, 

leaves can block gutters and windfall fruit 

can attract rodents. It’s a wonder people 

ever plant them! 

These problems are often caused by wellmeaning 

property owners who plant 

trees without thinking about how big 

they will grow. By the time a tree is wellestablished, 

it may be already wreaking 

havoc both overhead and underground. 

Overhanging branches may present 

obvious hassles, but tree roots are usually 

out of sight, out of mind until they start 

to snaking their way into retaining walls, 

foundations or drains (at which point they 

become difficult to ignore and expensive 

to re-route). 

If you own a property, you are allowed 

to do whatever you like to your trees, 

within the bounds of the law that says 

you have the right to the ordinary use and 

enjoyment of your land. This is subject 

to any protection that may apply to your 

trees. If they’re protected (for example, 

because they are historic, considered 

to be significant or needed to prevent 

erosion), you may need to get resource 

consent before doing anything to them. 

Remember that you can’t unreasonably 

interfere with your neighbours’ use and
