Little Lexi is a 

real water baby 

Little Lexi Miller might only be 11-months-old but already she loves going to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre with her mother 

Brooke Cleaver. Miss Cleaver says her daughter is quite the “water baby.” “We actually did lessons there last term because 

she loves it so much,” she said. Miss Cleaver said it’s likely Lexi developed her love for water from her nine-year-old brother 

Kayden.

Former 

mayor 

slams 

into 

cow at 

100km/h 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

FORMER MAYOR Bill Woods 

and his two passengers were lucky 

to escape serious injury after his 

Mercedes-Benz, travelling at about 

100km/h, collided with a cow. 

Mr Woods was returning to 

Springfield from Christchurch 

Aiport at 1am on Thursday when 

he hit the cow in the middle of Old 

West Coast Rd near Waddington. 

His Mercedes-Benz B200 was 

moderately damaged, he and his 

passengers, Keith and Helen Taege, 

of Sheffield, escaped injury. He had 

picked them up from the airport. 

The cow was killed. 

Mr Woods said the air bags did 

not activate, which in hindsight 

was lucky. After striking the cow, 

his vehicle veered towards a power 

pole which he was able to avoid. 

The car came to a stop at the side of 

the road. 

If the air bags had inflated he 

would not have been able to see the 

power pole, he said.

THERE’S A danger that lurks in the 

darkness on our roads late at night - 

wandering stock. 

Former Mayor Bill Woods and his passengers 

(see page 1) can count themselves 

very lucky. 

He struck a cow on the way home from the airport in the 

early hours of Thursday morning. 

Bill says he rear ended it at about 100 km/h. If he had hit it 

broadside the damage to the car and those inside would have 

been very serious. 

And luck was even more on their side because the airbags 

didn’t activate. 

After hitting the cow, Bill’s Mercedes headed straight towards 

a power pole he was able to avoid. 

If the airbags had deflated he wouldn’t have seen the pole.

Consultation starts 

over intensive farming rules 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

SWEEPING changes could be 

brought in to regulate intensive 

farming rules in the district. 

The district council wants to 

make a new definition in the 

district plan to ensure intensive 

farming is defined as a commercial 

activity which mainly 

occurs indoors. 

The new district plan is estimated 

to become operative in 

March 2022. 

Currently intensive farming 

is not clearly defined, making 

consenting requirements ambiguous. 

Several issues have been identified 

with intensive farmingrelated 

rules in the current 

district plan. 

Issues are the duplication of 

process between district and regional 

councils over air quality, 

and free-range poultry activities 

being permitted by ECan but requiring 

a resource consent from 

the district council. 

Another problem is if an 

intensive farm operator wants 

to establish a residential dwelling 

on their property, they are 

required to apply for resource 

ANALYSED: The district council is asking for residents’ views 

on intensive farming rules as it begins to assemble the new 

district plan. 

consent if the dwelling is located 

within 300m of the intensive 

farming operation. 

This is even if they are the 

owners of the operation. 

It comes as Selwyn is home 

to the highest number of pork 

producers in the country, 

although not the largest volume 

produced. 

It has about 19 per cent of the

country’s commercially operated 

pig farms, accounting for 

approximately 22 per cent of the 

domestic production. 

This farming activity in the 

district makes up a significant 

proportion of the returns generated 

for the local economy $750 

million to $900 million per annum 

industry. 

The district council is encouraging 

residents to take part in 

the survey on the draft changes 

it recently endorsed for further 

development on intensive farming 

rules. 

Residents will be asked for 

their views on ECan being solely 

responsible for monitoring air 

discharges from an intensive 

farm and what rules should be 

introduced to permit intensive 

farming. 

They will also be asked what 

the setback between a new 

residential development and 

an intensive farming activity 

should be. 

District councillor Pat McEvedy 

said the district plan is very 

much in its early stages and it is 

sorting through what the district 

council’s preferred options are as 

part of the consultation.

DRIVING CHARGES 

A motorist who hit a parked 

vehicle before rolling the van 

he was driving, was more than 

twice the legal limit on Friday. 

Constable Herb Inwood said 

the 29-year-old man drifted 

to the left before crashing into 

the parked vehicle on High St, 

Leeston. The man’s recorded 

breath alcohol reading was just 

over 500mcg/l. The legal limit is 

250mcg/l. Constable Inwood said 

the damage to both vehicles was 

“quite significant,” however, the 

man did not sustain any injuries. 

The man will appear in the 

Christchurch District Court in 

early August. 

SPRINGFIELD HOUSE FIRE 

A house was destroyed by fire 

in Springfield’s Dalethorpe Rd 

last week. Fire risk management 

officer and specialist fire 

investigator Wayne Hamilton said 

no one was home at the time and 

the fire “burnt itself out.” He said 

the damage was discovered by 

the owners the following day. Mr 

Hamilton said the owners rung 

Fire and Emergency New Zealand

police and insurance. He said the 

fire was caused by an electrical

Cattle to be 

included at 

A&P show 

• By David Hill 

CATTLE CLASSES will 

be included in November’s 

Canterbury A&P Show. 

More than 50 cattle breeders 

and show staff attended an 

exhibitors meeting recently, with 

the majority indicating they were 

willing to exhibit stock at The 

New Zealand Agricultural Show 

2018. 

It comes as Leeston’s Ellesmere 

A&P Show isn’t taking cattle 

entries for its October event, 

in a bid to prevent the risk of 

spreading mycoplasma bovis any 

further. 

Canterbury A&P Show staff 

said they were exploring measures 

to limit the risk of mycoplasma 

bovis contamination. 

Event director Geoff Bone said 

he was confident cattle would 

be exhibited at the Canterbury 

A&P Show and many international 

shows have continued to 

run successful cattle sections, 

in spite of the presence of the 

cattle disease. The cattle committee 

was scheduled to meet last 

Wednesday to set up protocols to 

reduce the risk of contamination, 

which included having gaps between 

the pens of different stud 

breeders. 

Straw idea earns recognition 

• By Emily O’Connell 

A LINCOLN family with a 

vision to make the town plastic 

straw-free by 2020 have been 

nominated for three Selwyn 

Awards. 

Eight-year-old Tui, 10-year-old 

Mana and father Nathan Martin 

started their business Plastic 

Straws Suck late last year. 

The idea for the business came 

from a project the children were 

doing at school. 

Mr Martin said Tui came 

home and asked what was going 

on with the world’s plastic use. 

“I gave her a choice on doing 

something and we chose plastic 

straws because it was something 

that was achievable,” he said. 

The family then starting selling 

packs of four stainless steel 

straws and a pipe cleaner for $20 

as an alternative. 

They have also been spreading 

the word about the harm caused 

by plastic to businesses and residents 

in the community. 

Now the trio are up for 

Environmental, Innovation 

Excellence and People’s Choice 

awards at this year’s Selwyn 

Awards. 

The biennial awards are 

presented to individuals and 

organisations who live or work 

ENVIRONMENTAL: Lincoln’s Tui (left), Mana and Nathan 

Martin are up for three awards at this year’s Selwyn Awards for 

their work eliminating plastic straws from the community. 

in the district to honour outstanding 

work or inspirational 

achievements. 

Mr Martin said they were 

“pretty stoked” with the nominations. 

He said the business teaches 

Tui and Mana about environmental 

awareness, sustainability 

and entrepreneurship. 

“The intent was always create 

something that gave back . . . 

25 per cent of our profits goes 

towards an organisation of our 

SELWYN TIMES 

customers choosing,” Mr Martin 

said. 

He thinks coffee chain Starbucks’ 

recent decision to go plastic 

straw-free by 2020 is “great,” 

however, he says its alternative, 

paper or compostable straws, 

does have its problems. 

“The thing with compostable 

straws is that it’s very similar to 

a plastic straw, that’s just in my 

opinion, because what happens 

is compostable straws are only 

useful if they’re in a recycling 

programme,” Mr Martin said.

Guilty plea over dog park crash 

MORE DETAILS have emerged 

over the crazy driving of a 

convicted killer who came to a 

stop after crashing into a dog 

park. 

John Oliver Jamieson, 31, is 

likely to return to prison after 

the high speed chase on Saturday, 

June 2, south of Christchurch. 

Jamieson (left) pleaded guilty 

in the district 

court last week 

to a series of 

charges. He had 

been charged 

with driving 

dangerously, driving while 

disqualified, failing to stop 

for police, driving recklessly, 

driving carelessly, and unlawful 

possession of a pistol – a sawn 

off .22 rifle – which was found in 

the crashed vehicle. 

Judge Tony Couch ruled out 

home detention as a possible 

sentencing option and remanded 

him custody until sentencing 

on July 26. 

The court heard Jamieson 

drove north on State Highway 1 

towards Burnham, at 180km/h 

while overtaking other cars in 

a passing lane. Police followed 

him with their sirens and lights 

on, but he crossed the double 

yellow lines into the southbound 

lane to overtake other 

north-bound cars. 

He remained on the wrong 

side of the road until the end of 

the passing lane, still travelling 

at high speed. He turned too fast 

into Rolleston’s Tennyson St, 

and went off the road, across the 

grassed area of the BP service 

station, and narrowly missed the 

KFC sign, before going back on 

the road. 

At the junction with Lowes 

Rd he drove onto the wrong 

side of the road again, around a 

roundabout the wrong way, hit 

another car causing minor damage, 

before leaving the road and 

crashing into the Rolleston dog 

park fence. 

A fence post speared through 

the windscreen, narrowly missing 

a woman who had been in 

the passenger seat. 

Jamieson left the vehicle but 

was soon caught by following 

police. 

During last week’s appearance 

Judge Couch asked for the case 

to be referred for a possible restorative 

justice meeting between 

Jamieson and the district council, 

who own the dog park fence, and 

face a $1035 repair bill.

BARRY 

CLARKE 

chairman Jens Christensen told 

the Selwyn Times on Thursday 

he hadn’t heard about any restorative 

justice meeting. 

“I wouldn’t see a point to be 

honest, we’re not that badly affected 

. . . we’ve asked for reparation,” 

he said. 

Jamieson was jailed in 2009 

for nine years for manslaughter 

for the death of Wayne Kerry 

Bray, who was kicked to death in 

a group street assault in Timaru 

the previous year. 

He was also found guilty last 

year of threatening to chop his 

wife’s head off during an argument 

over the telephone.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

MYSTERIOUS SOCKS 

Socks placed into a fire box at 

the Springfield Hotel prompted 

a fire call out last week. Owner 

Pete Richardson said someone 

had thrown their socks into the 

fire box, which he reloaded with 

timber before it was to be lit later 

in the evening. Mr Richardson 

said there were no ashes in 

the timber. But when he went 

outside, due to the direction 

of wind, it looked as if smoke 

was coming out of the roof. The 

incident happened at 12.26pm 

on Thursday. Springfield and 

Sheffield volunteer brigades 

attended. Springfield deputy 

chief fire officer Ann Shepherd 

said services checked the top 

floor and ceiling cavity, but there 

was no sign of fire. She said it 

was very confusing and no one 

knew what was happening. 

There was no damage. 

GREENPARK HUT FIRE 

Fire investigators are still not 

been able to determine the cause 

of a blaze which destroyed a hut 

in Greenpark in the early hours 

of July 1. Lincoln chief fire officer 

Jeremy Greenwood said units 

from Lincoln and Rolleston 

attened the “well involved fire.” 

It took firefighters two hours to 

contain the blaze. No-one was in 

the hut at the time.

Council in process of 

selling Darfield houses 

final week! 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

DISTRICT council-owned 

houses in Darfield, some 

previously contaminated 

from methamphetamine, 

are in the process of being 

sold. 

Houses 11 

and 13 Ritso 

St have been 

sold while 5, 

7 and 9 have 

condition 

John 

Morten 

agreements 

for sale in 

place and 

confirmation of the conditions 

are still pending. 

The properties have been 

sold as residential dwellings. 

It cost the district council 

more than $40,000 to 

decontaminate dwellings 

1, 7 and 11 of Ritso St. 

Insurance met about 

$30,000 of the bill, the 

district council the rest. 

Two houses – 1 and 

3 Ritso St – have been 

retained by the council because 

Darfield Sicon office 

is relocating to Rolleston’s 

Izone Business Hub next 

year. 

The South Tce site 

will then be available for 

another tenant and if extra 

land is needed, 1 and 3 

SELLING: 7 Ritso St is one of three houses to be 

decontaminated as a result of meth use and is in 

the process of being sold by the district council. 

Ritso St could then be 

developed. 

District councillor John 

Morten said the houses 

have been retained by the 

district council because it 

is unknown who the new 

tenant will be. 

He said if a tenant 

wanted a larger site than 

the Darfield Sicon to build 

on, the Ritso St houses 

would be available for the 

expansion. 

A section of land on 15 

Ritso St has not sold and 

will be revalued and reoffered 

to Ngai Tahu. 

Selwyn Times previously 

reported residents were 

concerned money from the 

sales would not go back to 

the Malvern community. 

From the income of 

the sales $347,000 will go 

towards reducing the community’s 

loan in relation to 

McHughs Forest Park. 

When the houses 

were initially bought the 

district council 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 status the 

houses were formerly on 

to be lifted and the land to 

become freehold. 

Reducing the community’s 

loan on McHughs 

Forest Park was part of the 

agreement.

He swerved to try and

A WICKED comedy 

will be brought to life by 

community theatre group 

Kirwee Players. 

The Witches of Eastwick 

will be performed at the 

Kirwee Community Hall 

next month. 

The musical, based on 

the novel of the same name 

by American novelist John 

Updike, is a comedy set 

in a typical small town, 

where gossip is rife about 

three witches. 

All three women desire 

for “all manner of man in 

one man” to bring excitement 

into their life. 

The man arrives in the 

devil- like form of Darryl 

Van Horne who seduces 

the women and teaches 

them powers. 

But the witches soon 

begin to realise the man 

is dangerous and sinister 

and they must use their 

newly -found powers to get 

rid of him. 

The show is lead by 

Glen Clark as Darryl Van 

Horne, Kelsea Nelson- 

Cummins as Alexandra, 

Vanessa Simmonds as Jane 

and Izzy Tocker as Sukie. 

It features a 23 -strong 

cast. 

Established in 1977, 

Kirwee Players has a long 

history of providing shows 

in the Selwyn area. 

The group focuses on 

community theatre, allowing 

affordable access to 

the arts, opportunities for 

anyone to be involved. 

•Tickets are available 

online at www.

Taking the plunge to become 

Scott and Ricci Harbuck

number of immigrants 

living in the district who 

are set become New 

Zealand citizens. Emily 

O’Connell reports 

MR AND Mrs Harbuck will 

become bona fide Kiwis at a 

ceremony next month. 

Mr Harbuck migrated from 

the United States to New Zealand 

with his German-born wife 

in 2012, eventually ending up in 

Rolleston last year. 

They are among a growing 

number of immigrants in the 

district who are becoming 

citizens. Mrs Harbuck said there 

were a number of reasons behind 

their move to New Zealand. 

“Our kids were grown up and 

we were living the typical American 

lifestyle – lots of money but 

lots of hours and no time for 

family and no lifestyle,” she said. 

After living in Tokoroa for 

five years, Mr and Mrs Harbuck 

decided to move to Rolleston. 

“We chose settling in Rolleston 

because we saw a vibrant community 

that provided a quality 

lifestyle for us,” Mrs Harbuck 

said. 

As well as the community, she

felt Rolleston was a “promising 

market” for their business Wet 

Feet Dry Feet Travel. 

Mrs Harbuck, who runs the 

business with her husband, said 

the Selwyn Business Group has 

been “incredible.” 

“Just really nice people all 

around,” she said. 

Mrs Harbuck said the process 

of becoming a citizen has been 

“very straight-forward.” 

“This is home for us now and 

we want to be here 100 per cent 

with everything that means. 

We enjoy the Kiwi people, the 

culture,” she said. 

In the past year, more than 370 

people from around the globe 

living in Selwyn have become 

New Zealand citizens. 

They come from 40 different 

countries across the world. 

The countries 

providing 

the most new 

arrivals were 

the United 

Kingdom with 

136, South 

Africa with 45, 

the Philippines 

with 33 and 

India with 25. 

The district 

has also welcomed

Kenya and 

Nepal, as well as 

a range of countries

“Our growing diversity

“With our rapid change over

A LINCOLN business has a new 

owner. 

Hiren Amin, 33, took over 

the running of the NZ Post & 

Kiwibank operation last week. 

He said the previous owners, 

Pritpal and Simran Anand, have 

moved to Auckland to be closer 

to their son after eight years of 

running the business in Lincoln. 

Mr Amin also made the move 

to Lincoln from Sydenham last 

week, so he can be part of the 

community. 

It’s not his first time running 

a business, Mr Amin owned a 

transport company in India, 

before moving to New Zealand 

in 2013. 

After studying business 

management in Invercargill, Mr 

Amin moved to Christchurch in 

late 2013. 

Owning the store was the next 

step for Mr Amin, who has been 

working in the Northwood Post 

Shop at the Northwood Supa 

Centre for the past three years. 

He said the move to Lincoln 

was “quite exciting” as it’s a “really 

nice community” of people 

who are always willing to help.

favourite fashion store 

Viva la Moda 

introduces new owner Robyn McKenzie 

A passion for good quality clothing 

has lead Viva La Moda’s new 

owner Robyn McKenzie to follow 

her dream. 

Robyn, who also owns Dear No 

One, a clothing store in Merivale, 

recently took ownership of the 

popular women’s clothing store in 

Rolleston Square. 

Robyn lives locally in Rolleston and 

is excited to be running one of 

her “most favourite shops in the 

world.” 

As part of her takeover, Robyn 

is planning an introduction 

evening for both new and current 

customers with bubbly and on-thenight 

promotions. 

“Nothing will initially change,” 

says Robyn. “Customers can still 

expect the same friendly, quality 

service as before, along with 

a wide choice of clothing and 

accessories available both in-store 

and online.” 

Viva La Moda offers a full range 

of women’s clothing suitable 

for all seasons including casual, 

work, day, special occasion and 

evening wear, plus a huge range 

of accessories. 

“Whatever your event, we can 

dress and coordinate you from top 

to toe,” says Robyn. Accessories 

include a choice of scarves, belts, 

hats, handbags, shoes, watches 

and jewellery. 

Robyn loves colour too and 

believes colour is what sets the 

store apart. 

“We don’t just stock black and 

greys; we offer a range of bright 

colours to suit your wardrobe 

palette.” 

Customers can continue to use 

their existing loyalty cards as 

before, and if they can’t get 

into the store, shopping online 

at Viva La Moda means they 

can still access the 

full clothing and 

accessory range, 

which can 

be shipped 

around New 

Zealand 

from $5.99. 

Robyn 

adds that 

she will 

soon be 

giving the 

online store 

a fresh, new 

look. 

Viva La Moda 

offers a number of New 

Zealand, Australian and European 

labels including Elm, Libertine, Sass, 

Olga Berg, Dolce Vita, Sabatini 

and many more. Visit the store or 

check out the website for more 

styles and brands:

“We’ll also be looking at trialling 

Sundays in summer,” says Robyn 

but in the meantime, Viva La 

Moda is open six days a week: 

Monday to Friday 9am–5pm and 

Saturday 10am-4pm at Rolleston

Taking aim at poor drivers 

District 

councillor 

Mark 

Alexander 

writes 

about 

poor 

driving and what 

needs to change 

AS I travel around the 

district, I regularly see 

drivers ignoring stop signs, 

red traffic lights, speeding, 

following too close and 

so on. So what you might 

think? It doesn’t matter, no 

harm done. 

Familiarity does seem to 

breed contempt. At many 

intersections, drivers are 

frequently able to ignore 

the stop sign, slowing not 

stopping before entering 

the intersection or not 

even slowing. Generally it 

isn’t visiting drivers who 

are at fault. It is our local 

drivers, ourselves, our 

family and our neighbours 

who are regularly putting 

themselves and others at 

risk. 

Individually, we may get 

away with our bad driving 

habits, but collectively 

our community doesn’t. 

We have a terrible rate of 

intersection crashes. That’s 

• Four people per class or 

less for more one on one 

attention. 

• Learn the synergy of 

spices, sauces and taste 

combinations that will make 

your dishes your own. 

• Morning classes where you 

will eat your creations for 

lunch or evening classes for a 

light supper. 

• $100 per person, everything 

provided for your 

convenience. 

crashes not accidents, as 

many are the result of poor 

driver choices rather than 

genuine accidents. 

Poor driving costs our 

community. Many of the 

emergency service personnel 

who attend road crashes 

in our district are volunteers. 

Those volunteers 

take time off from their 

own lives, their jobs, their 

families to help others in 

their time of need. We 

should acknowledge their 

selfless dedication to our 

community. We should 

recognise that preventable 

crashes have an impact on 

the lives of our volunteers 

in the community. 

As a district councillor, 

I am often asked “what is 

the district council going 

to do about a perceived accident 

black spot?” Where 

there is a genuine road 

safety issue, the district 

council will address the 

problem. It is hard, if not 

impossible, to provide 

an engineering solution 

for bad driving and bad 

drivers. 

I can see the letters to 

the editor saying that it 

isn’t the driver’s fault, 

that it is the state of our 

roads, the design of our 

intersections, the width of 

our roads and possibly the 

weather. I agree that our 

roads may not be perfect, 

but that’s not an excuse for 

bad driving. 

Driving to the conditions 

will help with many 

of these issues. Speed 

limits are not targets. Allowing 

more time for your 

journey will mean you can 

drive to the conditions not 

the limits. Stopping at stop 

signs won’t significantly 

delay your journey. Planning 

to drive safely will 

benefit everyone.

West Melton teen off to Uganda 


WEST MELTON’S Lauryn 

Sinclair is raising funds to 

help finish building a school in 

Uganda. 

The 18-year-old volunteers for 

Purpose Projects – a non-governmental 

organisation which 

goes to developing countries to 

help with specific, achievable 

projects. 

Miss Sinclair, who is in her 

first year of studying law at 

Canterbury University, says the 

organisation 

focuses on 

transparency. 

“All the 

money we 

raise actually 

goes into the 

community in 

like a sustainable 

way,” she 

Lauryn Sinclair 

said. 

Miss 

Sinclair will travel to Kkoba, 

Uganda, in January for a month 

where she will be involved with 

the school build, as well as other 

community projects. 

Once completed, about 1000 

children will attend the school. 

“It’s already partially built because 

we’ve had volunteers from 

different organisations in the 

past go and they’ve done little 

bits of work over a long period 

of time,” Miss Sinclair said. 

But before she can go, Miss 

Sinclair needs to raise $2500 

for the different community 

projects. It’s not her first time 

volunteering overseas – she was 

in World Challenge while she 

was at high school. 

“It’s an organisation which 

takes schools on trips to parts 

of the developing world so I 

went to India for a month . . . 

the volunteer part was definitely 

the highlight of the trip,” Miss 

Sinclair said. 

Although it’s “not always 

easy,” she’s really looking 

forward to travelling to 

Uganda and helping out a 

community. 

ASSISTING: Lauryn Sinclair 

will travel to Uganda in 

January with Purpose Projects 

to help finish building a 

school. 

“It’s challenging because we 

will be working a lot everyday 

but I’m really excited,” Miss 

Sinclair said.

Mobile tech shows Lincoln 

kids how their guts work 


LINCOLN children are being 

taught about what’s inside their 

gut through a new mobile app. 

The app uses augmented 

reality to bring the microbes 

that live in the gut to life for 

primary school children. 

Lincoln’s Nathan 

Martin from 

Moving Pixel Ltd, 

teamed up with 

professor Gerald 

Tannock from 

the University 

Nathan 

Martin 

of Otago and 

Maggle Creative’s 

Mitch Duncan to 

create The Heroes of your Gut 

augmented reality experience. 

Augmented reality is a 

technology that superimposes a 

computer-generated image on a 

user’s view of the real world via 

the camera on a mobile device. 

Prof Tannock, who commissioned 

the project, wanted to get 

eight to 12-year-olds enthusiastic 

about microbes. 

“There are 20 trillion microbes 

living in our bodies – 

that’s at least as many as there 

are cells. These organisms are 

fascinating and so important 

to our health. But it was a real

challenge to teach such a complex 

concept to children and 

inspire them to learn more,” he 

said. 

By downloading the free app 

Scope X to a mobile device and 

using it to view a printed sheet, 

users can see stories and activities 

about common microbes 

that reside in the gut and see 

them interact as characters. 

Lincoln Primary School pupils 

were the first to test out the 

new app. 

Mr Martin visited the school 

to see how the children reacted 

to the technology. 

“They were super stoked . . . 

there’s also a hidden experience 

that the kids find and basically 

what it is is on the flip-side of 

this character if you push the 

buttocks a fart comes out,” he 

said. 

Prof Tannock hopes schools 

across the country make the 

most of the resource. “I didn’t 

really know what AR was, or 

how it could help teach about 

microbiota . . . now I can see 

its educational potential,” he 

said.

NEWELL 

SPACE: Springfield School’s new multi-purpose room includes 

a kitchen area and large break-out space for activities. 

SPRINGFIELD SCHOOL has 

opened its new multi-purpose 

room. 

Invited guests, pupils, teachers 

and parents gathered to celebrate 

the new addition to the school. 

Mayor Sam Broughton officially 

opened the new building, 

cutting the ribbon with help 

from the youngest and oldest 

pupils at the school. 

Principal Judith Beales said the 

school has been looking forward 

to having the extra space and 

facilities. 

“It provides us with a muchneeded 

kitchen area for cooking 

and a large break-out space for 

all sorts of activities,” she said. 

Each member of the senior 

class spoke about how pupils will 

benefit from the new room. 

Planning for the room started 

four years ago with a Malvern 

apron fundraiser. 

Since then, there has been a 

large effort behind the scenes 

by parents and the board of 

trustees to fundraise, find a 

suitable building, relocate it 

and then refurbish the room 

on-site. 

The school would like to thank 

Fiona Davidson for leading the 

fundraising and grant writing, as 

well as Pam and Pete Aldersley 

for managing the relocation 

and refurbishment of the 

building. 

“We’ve sold around 2500 

aprons . . . special thanks must 

go to Rosalie Mason at Mason’s 

Drapery who has sold countless 

aprons and tea towels on behalf 

of our school,” Mrs Davidson 

said. 

The school would also like 

to thank the Rata Foundation, 

CERT and the Four Winds 

Foundation for making grants 

towards the project. 

Jumping success for Prebbleton 

Prebbleton School pupils took home several awards at 

the Strictly Live jump jam competition finals at Rolleston 

College. The school entered five teams into the competition 

and each scooped up a prize. The year 1-4 team Blame it 

on the Boogie won its category and the year 4-8 team Can’t 

Stop the Feeling were third. The year 4-8 team Give it Up 

were eighth, the year 6-8 team Shake it Off were fourth and 

another year 6-8 team, Don’t Stop the Party, finished fifth.



Our People 

SELWYN TIMES 

Nigel Lilley 

From selling groceries to fighting fires 

Rolleston chief fire 

officer Nigel Lilley 

talks to Emily O’Connell 

about his role, why 

he joined the brigade 

and what his most 

memorable call out 

has been 

When did you join the 

brigade? 

March 3, 1998. 

Why did you join? 

I’ve always wanted to from 

childhood. 

Did you have any family 

members or people you 

knew who were part of the 

brigade? 

Not really. Rolleston back 

then was a small community so 

everyone knew everyone. 

What about the brigade 

initially interested you? 

The fire truck, I suppose. 

How did you feel when you 

attended your first call-out and 

what was it? 

It was a medical incident. 

I was extremely nervous as I 

had no idea what to do. I can’t 

remember what happened to be 

honest, it wouldn’t have been 

a serious one or I would have 

remembered. 

What type of training did 

you get before joining the 

brigade? 

None. We learnt as went. 

When did that change? 

Not long after I joined, to be 

fair. 

What has been the most 

memorable call-out you’ve been 

to and why? 

A fatal car v train on a 

Christmas Eve. There was a huge 

teddy bear on the back seat. I 

knew some kid wasn’t getting 

that for Christmas, I also knew 

that he also wasn’t getting his 

father for Christmas. 

What’s the biggest lesson 

you’ve learnt through being in 

the brigade? 

Embrace your team. Be proud 

of them. I can’t do it without 

them. 

What’s the most dangerous 

thing you’ve done in the 

brigade? 

I’d have to say probably some 

of the larger vegetation fires pose 

significant danger to us, not that 

we take risks. 

What would be the happiest 

memory you’ve had during 

your time in the brigade? 

I spent eight or nine years on 

the board of the United Fire 

Brigades’ Association which is 

like the national collective for 

pretty much every firefighter. 

As a part of that, I was the chair 

of the challenges committee 

which involved the governance 

and running of all the fire 

competitions, like the drivers 

challenge, the road crash rescue 

challenge and the toughest 

firefighter challenge. That was 

hugely satisfying and did get a 

lot of stuff across the line with 

them, because all the volunteers 

are funded along to them, it’s a 

great reward for them. 

Is the Rolleston Volunteer 

Fire Brigade still the biggest 

brigade? 

Certainly one of. It has 40 at 

present, with a huge waiting list. 

What do you think makes it 

so popular? 

The population of Rolleston 

and we always get a big influx 

of people asking about joining 

after a big event like the Port 

Hills fire or something like that, 

something that’s really been in 

the public space. Certainly after 

the earthquakes there were a lot 

of people who emailed. 

How many call-outs do the 

Rolleston volunteers go to on 

average per year? 

On average 650, I guess. It’s a 

lot more than when I first joined, 

it was only about 100. 

Do you think the call-outs 

will keep increasing in the 

future? 

No, it’s flattened out now. It’s 

not really the population that’s 

driving it because new houses 

have safer building codes so they 

don’t catch fire. Motor vehicle 

accidents are increasing slightly, 

that’s just because of more 

traffic, I guess. 

Your wife, Sarah, is also part 

of the brigade. Is that how you 

met her? 

No, I met her in the pub. 

What did you do for work 

after finishing high school? 

I worked at Placemakers and 

Transport Wholesale Ltd. 

What do you think the future 

of the Rolleston Volunteer Fire 

Brigade will be like? 

HELPING 

HAND: 

Rolleston’s 

chief fire 

officer Nigel 

Lilley has 

volunteered 

for the 

brigade for 

20 years. 

I don’t know, there is land over 

by the new ambulance station. 

We’re certainly in a plan for a 

new station. When it became 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand from the old fire service 

it changed and it’s changed for 

the better, especially for the 

volunteers. 

Do you have any fears, 

considering what you do? 

I’d have to say no because 

when it all happens and the 

adrenalin kicks in, you don’t 

really think about that sort of 

stuff until well afterwards and 

then you think: ‘What the hell 

did I do that for?’ 

When do you think you’ll 

leave the brigade? 

I hope to be there for a while 

longer but I won’t be the chief 

forever, I want to hand that over 

to someone else to have a go at. 

No idea when.

“A local team for local people”



– all in a day’s work 

Have you always lived in 

Rolleston? 

Yes. 

What schools did you go to? 

I went to Rolleston School 

and St Thomas of Canterbury 

College. 

When you’re not working, 

what does a day off look like for 

you? 

I couldn’t tell you the last 

time that happened. If I’m 

not working I’m tied up with 

some sort of fire and emergency 

event. 

What are some of your 

hobbies? 

I really don’t have the time to 

have any, sadly. 

Is being the chief fire officer 

your full-time job? 

No, it’s voluntary. 

Other than volunteering, 

what else do you have going 

on? 

I’ve now taken over the 

Rolleston Dairy, and rebranded 

it as an On The Spot franchise 

store. I also work two days a 

week in Wellington for Fire and 

Emergency New Zealand on a 

new volunteer initiative. 

When did you take over the 

dairy? 

January 22. 

How’s it been going? 

Fantastic. 

What have you learnt from 

owning the dairy, had you 

owned one before? 

No, but look, it’s hospitality 

in a sense and I’ve been doing 

that for 20 years at the pub. 

It’s just all about customer 

service. 

Was the pub you worked at 

The Rolly Inn? 

Yes, I was there for 20 years. 

What was your job at The 

Rolly Inn? 

The manager. 

Can you tell me about your 

role at the Wellington for Fire 

and Emergency New Zealand? 

It’s a new initiative, I’m the 

product or business owner if 

you like, that’s what they call it. 

It’s a computer-based system, 

an availability system, so the

volunteers know at any time 

who is around and who is 

able to respond. It’s all done 

through apps on your phone and 

GPS. 

How long have you been 

doing that for? 

Only a month, so far. 

How are you finding it? 

Fantastic. Just being able to 

create something that’s going 

to make the volunteers’ lives 

easier, it’s great. It’s only meant 

to be for six months but I can 

see it going for a whole lot longer 

than that. 

A reader responds to the 

Prebbleton Community 

Association committee 

buying a radar speed sign 

for Springs Rd 

Sandra Woodham – I live 

on Blakes Rd, Prebbleton. My 

house is situated on The Woods 

corner and I am a fairly new 

resident to this area. There are 

two signs further up Blakes Rd 

towards Shands Rd corner but 

there really needs to be a speed 

sign well before that as 

many cars are travelling 

very fast and don’t 

seem to worry about 

the existing sign. Last 

year there was a bad 

accident at The Woods/ 

Cairnbrae corner. 

Police and ambulance 

were called. Everyday there are 

drivers whipping up Blakes Rd 

and this is the road where the 

Prebbleton school is. I live about 

300m from there going towards 

Shands Rd. The existing signs 

do nothing for many motorists 

to reduce their speed, so it is my 

ask that this part of the road is 

looked at seriously. There is a lot 

of foot traffic along this road as 

well.

Bill Woods – I agree that a 

stop sign would not reduce the 

intersection collisions as I have 

always maintained that 

the design is wrong and did 

propose an alternative that was 

discarded for the present one. 

Be that as it may the present 

intersection is there and to 

improve driver awareness I 

believe that a sign 

(highly visible colours) 

should be placed on 

State Highway 73 

opposite to the 

Waimakariri Gorge Rd 

displaying – look both 

ways. This would mean 

that the other existing 

signs would have to be shifted 

either right or left or even placed 

above. Such a sign could not help 

to be noticed.

kills bacteria in the water, does it 

also kill the good and bad bacteria 

in our gut?

SELWYN TIMES 

With the second week of school holidays now well under way, more than 50 KidsFest events will 

be held around Selwyn by the end of the week. 

Dozens of events have already taken place across the district, with kids enjoying a broad range 

of activities. 

Senior Events and Recreation Advisor, Dave Tippett says the organisers are delighted with how 

KidsFest has gone so far. 

“Contributing to a holiday programme reaching across the district provides plenty of 

entertainment during the cooler months, and participation this year has been fantastic,” he says. 

Mr Tippett says with events ranging from discomania to parkour and film making, there’s 

something for everyone. 

“We’ve worked hard to create a wide range of activities, and our feedback so far has been 

extremely positive with kids going home happy after attending KidsFest events. 

“We had a number of events sell out quickly, which was great to see, and it shows KidsFest in 

Selwyn is as popular as ever.” 

Mr Tippett says it has been encouraging that event organisers have continued to support 

KidsFest with events and activities for the kids of Selwyn. 

“We are really proud of everyone in Selwyn who is involved with delivering KidsFest.” 

While there’s only a few days left, there are still a number of activities with spaces left if you are 

searching for something to do over the last few days of the holidays. 

Some of the most popular venues have been the district’s libraries, hosting a range of activities.

School road safety 

WEEK 

Saturday 9 – Saturday 

ONE 

23 July 2016 

Selwyn District Council is asking drivers to stay alert for children as schools return next week. 

Nearly 10,000 Selwyn children will be travelling to school next week following their two week 

holiday break. 

Many of these young people will be getting off and on school buses, in and out of cars and walking, 

biking and scooting to and from school. 

It’s important for road users to remember the only time drivers must stop for pedestrians is on a 

pedestrian (zebra) crossing, at a school road patrol or kea crossing when the stop lollipops are out, 

and when pedestrians have a green man at traffic signals. 

Key tips for children and parents getting ready for term three include: 

· Be bright be seen on your way to school, ask your school for a safety vest. 

· Tackle the routes with your child talking about sneaky driveways and blind corners. 

· Get out and active together to reduce the chaos at the school gate. 

· Wear your helmets, this goes for caregivers too, young people are watching you! 

Road safety educational resources for parents and children are available from Selwyn District Council. 

Email stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phone 347 2705. 

Careful what you flush 

Selwyn District Council is reminding residents to limit what they flush 

down the toilet to the three Ps. 

Only three things should disappear after the button is pressed - pee, 

poo and (toilet) paper. 

Flushing items other than the three Ps costs a substantial amount 

each year, in unclogging blockages, and repairs. 

A major issue has been the use of products often described as 

‘flushable’ wet wipes. 

Assets Manager Murray Washington says despite the product name 

and description, these products don’t break down in the system 

and cause frequent blockages. 

“While we understand wet wipes have become popular we want the 

public to throw them out instead of flushing them. 

“Flushing the wipes causes a lot of damage to our systems, as they 

are not biodegradable.” 

A wide range of products regularly cause headaches for the team at 

Selwyn District Council, after finding the remains in sewer systems. 

They’ve included: 

· latex products like gloves and condoms 

· wet wipes 

· feminine hygiene products 

· paper towels, napkins, tissues, nursing pads, cloth, clothing 

and rags 

· fats, grease and oil 

· sticky plasters, dressings, cotton balls, cotton buds or dental floss 

· hair, plastic wrappers, cigarette butts or syringes 

These items don’t break down or dissolve in water and can cause 

major blockages in pumps and within the sewer network itself. 

Mr Washington says last year the Council spent around $50,000 to 

clean out sewer pump stations that became clogged. 

He says most sewer pipes are only 10–20 centimetres in diameter 

and aren’t designed to carry the range of products we have found 

clogging our systems. 

Over half of the blockages found in the Selwyn system are caused 

by wet wipes. 

On the roads this week 

ON THE 

ROADS 

Pump found to be blocked with t-shirt 

The remaining tidy up work is being completed 

at Rolleston/Masefield Drive intersection over 

the next two weeks. This will complete the 

intersection upgrade, apart from the green 

infill markings in the new cycleways which will 

done in September when ground temperatures 

are suitable. 

The Jones/Hoskyns Road intersection upgrade 

has been completed, apart from some street light fittings which will 

be installed at a later date. 

Unsealed road maintenance metalling will be carried out on 

South Two Chain Road and Brookside Road and unsealed road 

repairs carried out on Fergusons Road, Springfield Road and 

Junction Road. 

Bridge maintenance will be carried out on Mt White Road bridge. 

There are footpath closures in West Melton and Darfield, while repair 

work is undertaken.

SELWYN TIMES 

• By Jacob Page 

LINCOLN’S WAYNE Rollinson 

believes his national swimming 

award is a testament to everyone 

in his organisation. 

THe chairman of the 

Swimming Canterbury West 

Coast earned the Swimming 

New Zealand volunteer of the 

year award in Auckland last 

week. 

“You certainly don’t get into 

this sort of thing for recognition 

like this but it reflects the hard 

work of everyone within our 

organisation,” he said. 

Mr Rollinson has been 

involved with the organisation 

since 2007 and chairman since 

2011. 

“My focus at the time was 

more about rugby but my three 

kids all swam at that time and 

I looked at it like many parents 

probably do in terms of how I 

could give back to the sport,” he 

said. 

“I’ve always wanted to give 

back to a sport in some way and 

I felt the time was right. 

He said, while swimming 

numbers have been on the 

increase for many years, the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

changed his role as the head of 

SCWC in an instant. 

“I learnt a lot about swimming 

in the region in a short space of 

time,” he said. 

Mr Rollinson said the prospect 

of a 50m pool in the Metro 

Sports Facility as well as the 

emergence of the QE II pool and 

developments in Linwood, would 

make swimming more accessible 

and more affordable. 

“THere is a financial strain on 

parents at the moment getting to 

and from events,” he said. 

“Even getting to regional 

events like South Island meets 

is an added cost at this point

because we’re having to go to 

Nelson or Invercargill.” 

Rollinson said the emergence 

of top swimmers like Hannah 

Bates, Sophie Pascoe, Celyn and 

Ieuan Edwards, had pleased 

him immensely because they’d 

done it in their home pools in 

Christchurch. 

“THere’s a perception that to 

make it (internationally) that you 

need to go to Auckland and we’re 

producing swimmers in our 

facilities. 

Mr Rollinson has 12 months in 

his role before his term finishes 

and he is eager to ensure the 

Metro Sports Facility, which 

is scheduled for 2021 will 

deliver an impressive space for 

swimmers to excel. 

“I really think with the Metro, 

we’ll have a facility that other 

areas are envious of and will 

make them want to travel to 

compete here,” he said.

at swim champs 


LINCOLN SWIMMER Hannah 

Bates has made the New Zealand 

team for the junior Pan Pacific 

championships in Fiji next 

month. 

Her selection comes after a 

successful national championship 

campaigns last week in 

Auckland which was capped-off 

by her winning emerging swimmer 

of the year at the Swimming 

New Zealand annual awards. 

Celyn Edwards, from the 

Selwyn Swim Club, also won 

three national titles. 

Edwards will be part of the 

nine-strong Kiwi team to race at 

the Pan Pacific para-swimming 

championships in Cairns next 

month. 

Bates said she was thrilled 

to win medals in her first open 

nationals event. 

“It was a big step up from 

what I’m used to, racing against 

swimmers who have gone to 

international events and, while 

I didn’t post any personal bests, 

I’m happy with what I achieved,” 

she said. 

“Winning the (emerging 

swimmer) award just topped the 

week off for me,” she said. “I was 

not expecting to win it so I was 

blown away when I did.” 

Youth Commonwealth Games 

and Australian age group multimedallist 

Bates, representing 

IN FORM: Two Selwyn swimmers, Hannah Bates, of Lincoln, 

and Selwyn Swim Club’s Celyn Edwards, have earned New 

Zealand representative honours after strong campaign at that

Aquagym, also conquered her 

nerves in the 100m butterfly 

heats, finishing in 1min 10.61sec 

to meet the selection criteria 

for both the junior Pan Pacific 

championships and Youth Olympic 

Games by just one onehundredth 

of a second. 

Bates backed this up in the 

final to take home bronze in the 

event. She went on to also win 

silver in the 200m individual 

medley. 

Edwards won two golds on the 

opening night of the national 

championship. The Selwyn club 

member won the 50m backstroke 

and 400m freestyle para 

mixed multi-class events. 

Edwards added to his medal 

tally as the meet progressed, taking 

out his third national title in 

the 100m butterfly and adding a 

silver and a bronze as well.

SELWYN TIMES 

Proud supporters of 

Rugby & Netball in Selwyn 

Southbridge Shield goes 

back to North Canterbury 


ELLESMERE’S time with 

the Southbridge Shield was 

brief as North Canterbury 

won it back 36-29 in their 

annual rugby encounter 

at Prebbleton Oval on 

Saturday. 

Ellesmere won the trophy 

in 2017 but handed it 

straight back after a match 

where they were always 

playing catch-up. 

A 21-point haul from 

North Canterbury’s 

Brook Retallick, older 

brother of All Black lock, 

Brodie, was essentially the 

difference with the pivot 

scoring two intercept tries 

and kicking a penalty and 

four conversions. 

The result mirrored 

North Canterbury’s dominance, 

with the visitors 

claiming four of the six 

matches played across the 

grades. 

Ellesmere’s two victories 

came from the under-18s 

who won the McGiffert 

Trophy with a 28-21 win 

and the under-65kg team 

which triumphed 40-20. 

The Ellesmere seniors 

were constantly chasing 

the game, trailing 22-7 just 

before half-time. 

Utility back Alex Parker’s 

second try of the game 

cut the margin to seven 

with 10min to play but 

poor set-piece execution, 

particularly at line-out 

time cost Ellesmere any 

chance of a draw to retain 

the shield.

Mekene magic in Lincoln Uni win 

• By Jim Doyle 

SYDENHAM AND Lincoln 

University will play each other 

for the second time in a row this 

Saturday in the Hawkins Trophy 

semi-finals. 

The magic of Caleb Makene 

and the momentum of Ben 

Morris helped thrust Lincoln 

University to a 34-17 win over 

Sydenham in the last round of 

section play for the Hawkins 

Trophy on Saturday. The Rams 

finished top of the section and 

will host the semi-final. 

Lincoln co-captains Makene 

and Morris were standouts 

but they would be the first to 

acknowledge the contribution of 

Sam Gilbert. 

The young fullback played a 

key part in the first try, scored by 

Jesse Houston, powered his way 

through for his own try after half 

an hour, and kicked perfectly at 

goal. Two of his conversions were 

from hard on the touchline. 

Gilbert took a hammering as 

he defended staunchly but kept 

getting up for more. 

The Rams were still in danger 

at 24-17 with 14 minutes to go. 

Gilbert slotted his second 

penalty goal to ease the pressure 

before the Rams closed out the 

match at the death. 

The rumbled all the way to the 

goal-line for Troy Hallett to barge 

across, putting the icing on the 

VERSATILE: Lincoln University captain Caleb Makene slotted in to the No 10 jersey in the 34-17

cake. 

Makene, a natural footballer, 

played at first-five because Brett 

Cameron was placed on standby 

by the Crusaders along with 

Mitch Dunshea and Jack Stratton. 

Long, ghosting runs by Makene 

led to tries by Gilbert and 

Connor Garden-Bachop. 

Morris added lineout theft and 

ball-stealing on the ground to 

add to his usual array of skills. 

John Borland was as aggressive 

as ever, making a big run from 

the back of a scrum to spark the 

first try and relishing the relative 

freedom when he shifted to No.7 

early in the second half. 

Sydenham were dangerous 

from fullback to front row. 

In the backs, Derek Stowers, 

Milford Keresoma, Sam Franklin 

and Dan Fransen all made big 

breaks in the first half. Two tries 

were the product of sharp back 

play. 

Hooker Marc Gibbons was one 

of the most potent players on the 

field until he was subbed off late 

in the piece. 

Loosehead prop Harrison 

Allan lived up to his growing 

reputation and was both strong 

and clever in scoring Sydenham’s 

third try from close range. 

Lock Tom Hughes, the only 

real tall timber in the Sydenham 

side, did well in the lineouts and 

around the field. 

When Scott Kelly came 

on 5min before half-time, 

Sydenham’s stocks rose even 

further. Surely the coaches 

sniffed an opportunity to win by 

bringing the big impact player on 

so early.

Future captains on 

court at Tactix game 

A LEESTON netballer got up 

close to the on-court action on 

Wednesday. 

Thirteen-year-old Ella Gibson 

and her friend Billie Nuku, 12, 

won the opportunity to meet 

Tactix captain Jane Watson and 

Pulse captain Katrina Grant, 

and lead the teams out onto 

centre court at the start of their 

match, through the ANZ Future 

Captains competition. 

Ella attends Ellesmere College 

and has been playing netball for 

seven years. She hopes to play 

netball professionally for the 

Silver Ferns one day. 

“It was really cool having my 

photo taken with the captains. 

Temalisi Fakahokotau is my 

favourite player because she gets 

out there and hunts for the ball, I 

want to be like her,” Ella said. 

ANZ head of sponsorship Sue 

McGregor said it’s passionate 

about supporting netball at all 

levels. 

“That’s why we’re giving 94 

children from around New 

Zealand the chance to be a 

future captain and meet their 

sporting heroes at each of the 

ANZ Premiership matches this 

season,” she said. 

“I hope that offering them the 

chance to meet their heroes and 

stand on centre court at the start 

of the match will help inspire 

them to keep training hard and 

achieve their goals.” 

The match saw the Pulse beat 

the Tactix 47-36.

Protect your 

outdoor valuables 

Winter is upon us, but it’s not too early to start thinking about your 

outdoor areas. When the weather turns warmer you and your family will 

soon be spending a lot more time outside to enjoy the warmer weather 

and sunshine. 

We are all aware of the potential health 

effects the sun can have on us, which is why 

it is important to evaluate your home, your 

bach and your family areas to make sure 

they are as protected as can be. 

Call Shadecraft, Canterbury’s leading 

shade protection expert offering decades of 

experience and a variety of solutions. 

One solution is the shade sail. A shade 

sail can provide shelter around the home, 

at sporting facilities, schools and childcare 

centres, on lifestyle blocks and farms, and 

at commercial premises. 

“It is attractive, durable and maintenance 

free, and blocks up to 99% of UV radiation,” 

says director Mark Levey. “The sail is made 

to suit individual requirements and has a 

10-year manufacturer's guarantee against 

UV breakdown.” 

Alternatives to a shade sail include 

ShadeCraft’s range of fixed canopies 

developed to provide weather and shade 

protection for walkways and entrance 

areas, patios, carports, and playgrounds. 

Each canopy is custom designed to suit 

the location and consists of polycarbonate 

roofing on a powder-coated galvanised 

steel frame. Additional options include 

hipped roof shade structures, which are 

highly suitable for educational, commercial 

or industrial applications. 

Can’t wait until summertime to utilise 

outdoor areas? The aptly named Ferrari 

canopy system protects from winter rain 

and hot summer sun and has applications 

in the domestic, educational and 

commercial arenas. Each Ferrari canopy 

is custom made with a maximum span of 

eight metres. Construction is quick, with 

no on-site welding required. 

Don’t want a permanently shaded area? 

Your answer may be a retractable awning, 

which offers versatility and can be designed 

to suit different styles and types of buildings. 

Call Shadecraft today at 0800 742

needs. Check out their website at www.

The shed, which opened

Treasurer Geoff Lalor

“The Selwyn District

In spite of the name, the 

shed hopes to open for 

women in the near future. 

“It’s definitely not just

The dirt on dianthus 

VIVID: (Clockwise) – Dianthus confetti grows to about 20cm. 

Dianthus Diana blueberry has a rich violet colour. Confetti is 

quite happy to grow in pots. 

• By Henri Ham 

EVERY MONTH I try to write 

about a couple of different plants 

that can be planted at the time of 

writing. 

I hope to share some information 

you might not know about 

and give some practical advice 

on how to plant them. This 

month I’ve decided to dish the 

dirt (so-to-speak) on dianthus. 

Dianthus (often called pinks) 

is a hardy cottage-garden flower 

ideal for planting in borders. 

This cheerful plant will be 

sure to provide you with many 

months of colour in your garden 

because, unlike many other 

flower varieties, you can plant 

it all year round. If you get your 

dianthus plants in the ground 

now they will do some nice 

growing through the rest of 

winter and be ready to flower in 

spring. 

In fact, two weeks ago I did 

just that – planted some confetti 

dianthus around the outside of a 

pot, and origami pink and white 

aquilegia in the middle. Come 

spring the pot will be a colourful 

and bright welcome next to my 

front door. 

Right, some more dirt on 

dianthus. It produces smallerthan-average 

flowers, that look 

like they have been cut with 

shears, on strong upright stems. 

And the flowers are fragrant and 

make excellent cut flowers for 

bright indoor arrangements. 

There are three different varieties 

of dianthus seedlings available 

– the confetti I just mentioned, 

blueberry and mixed. 

Confetti grows to about 20cm 

high and produces a variety of 

flowers in lively colours. It’s ideal 

for growing in pots, hanging 

baskets or borders of gardens. 

Blueberry grows a little bit 

taller to around 25cm and its 

flowers are a rich, violet colour. 

Its petal edges are jagged – looking 

lacy and frilled. 

Lastly, our bundle of mixed 

dianthus seedlings grows to approximately 

20cm and produces 

larger, ruffled carnation-like 

blooms in a vibrant mix of orange, 

red, pink and yellow. 

Now, how to plant. To create 

a cottage garden feeling in your 

garden, I recommend planting 

an assortment of dianthus 

varieties in close proximity – at 

around 30cm spacings. Their 

dense evergreen foliage keeps 

bushy all year long and when 

planted they cover bare spots 

quickly. 

Dianthus cope fine with frost 

so you can plant them just about 

anywhere. Look for somewhere 

sunny with good drainage. Ideal 

companion plants to grow with 

dianthus are marigolds, roses, 

petunias, and livingstone daisies 

because they all like the same 

conditions. 

Once established, dianthus 

are easy to maintain. They are 

rarely struck by pests or disease 

and just require a little bit of 

care. 

In around spring, they will 

begin flowering and continue 

throughout summer. Regular 

trimming of the dead growth 

(just cut back a bit to encourage 

new growth) and removing 

the dead heads will reward you 

with two to three sets of blooms 

and encourage a denser crop of 

flowers. 

Lastly, on a culinary note, did 

you know dianthus flowers are 

edible? They make great decorations 

on cakes or bring colour to 

salads. 

An oregano occasion 

• By Henri Ham 

WITH WINTER well and truly 

here, casseroles stews and soups 

are a staple in our kitchen. 

To add freshness to these 

somewhat heavy meals, I love 

to use fresh winter herbs like 

oregano. I treat oregano in winter 

like I treat basil in summer – 

throwing it in with all things 

tomato based. 

Oregano is a perennial (it lasts 

longer than two years). And, if 

regularly trimmed and cut back 

in early spring by one third, it 

will return and produce for years. 

It is a pungent and spicy herb 

and I’m a fan of its slightly bitter 

taste. However, the potency of its 

leaves can reduce after three to 

four years, so at home I replant 

every few years. 

Planting oregano is easy. Plant 

seedlings in compost rich soil 

or in pots close to the kitchen. 

Remember to use potting mix if 

you’re planting in pots or containers. 

Short on space? Consider 

vertical planters to keep a variety 

of herbs easily accessible. Just 

make sure to hang them in a 

sunny spot. 

When growing oregano consider 

companion planting it next 

to your cabbages or cauliflower. 

Companion planting involves 

planting two plants in close proximity 

to mutually benefit each 

other through attracting certain 

insects or keeping other insect 

pests away. This method of planting 

is particularly popular with 

gardeners wanting to avoid the 

use of sprays or chemicals. 

Once you’ve planted your 

FLAVOUR: 

Harvest 

oregano 

before it 

flowers 

to get 

maximum 

potency. 

oregano give it a gentle watering 

in. You probably won’t need 

to water it much at the moment. 

But when the weather warms 

up, water two to three times per 

week – give a good soaking to 

encourage deep rooting. But 

don’t worry too much as oregano 

is a hardy herb and very forgiving 

if it gets neglected. 

Once its growth is established 

try drying some sprigs. Simply 

tie bunches together and hang 

upside down on the porch, or 

indoors in a paper bag. Cut a 

few holes in the bag and hang 

upside down until dried through. 

This will take one to two weeks. 

Once dry, run your fingers up the 

stalks to easily remove the leaves 

and store in jars. 

Oregano is one of the better 

herbs at retaining flavour potency 

when dried. To get maximum 

strength out of the leaves, harvest 

just before it flowers. Remember 

one dried teaspoon is equal to 

one fresh tablespoon of herbs. 

We all know about adding 

mint to summer cocktails, but 

have you tried hot herb teas? Add 

a sprig of oregano to a cup of 

hot water for a refreshing winter 

change, especially if you’re trying 

to cut down on caffeine. 

And, when the warmer weather 

approaches add oregano fresh 

to salads. The more you chop it 

up, the more flavoursome it will 

be. Oregano can be used in pasta 

and pizza sauces, bolognese, and 

on top of herby bready rolls. 

So, whatever the season you 

can always find an occasion for 

oregano.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves whic had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr ement this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A W OLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Gart hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said. 

U per Ri carton butcher Corey 

Winder was part of the Pure 

South Sharp Blacks team.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the 

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za 

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe quarries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.

IT COULD be some time before 

charges are laid in relation to the 

fatal hit-and-run in Dallington. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg 

Cottam said yesterday the vehicle 

involved in the crash last week 

was still being examined. 

He said there was still a lot of 

work to do to gather all the information 

and finish police inquiries 

before any charges would be laid. 

“They can take some time,” he 

said. 

“We’ve got six months to lay 

charges in relation to traffic offending 

– it certainly won’t take 

that long.” 

Steffan Pearce- 

Loe (right), 30, was 

hit by a vehicle 

near the Gayhurst 

Rd bridge while 

walking his dogs at 

about 2.30am last 

Thursday. 

He died in hospital 

from his injuries on Friday. 

His funeral was held on Tuesday. 

Police found the vehicle 

involved, which had damage 

consistent with the crash, on Saturday. 

A detective saw it parked 

up a driveway. 

The vehicle’s owner, who was 

driving, has been interviewed by 

police. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Cottam 

remained tight-lipped about 

the driver. •Turn to page 6

Buying a property at auction 

If you’re keen on a property that’s going 

to auction, preparation is everything. A 

successful bid means you are immediately 

committed to buy the property; you cannot 

seek legal advice, arrange finance or even 

get the property valued or inspected when 

the auction is over. 

That means you need to do all your due 

diligence in advance of auction day. Before 

the auction (usually after you’ve viewed the 

property), the real estate agent working for 

the seller should provide you with a copy 

of the terms and Contract of Sale, which 

sets out what chattels will be included with 

the property. This document will also tell 

you the amount of the deposit to be paid 

by the successful bidder, and when the 

balance of the payment must be made. 

These documents should be checked by 

your lawyer. 

You should consider having the property 

checked (preferably by a qualified inspector 

who has professional indemnity insurance 

and carries out their work in accordance 

with the New Zealand Property Inspection 

Standards and obtain an up-to-date Land 

Information Memorandum (LIM) from 

the local council. It’s a good idea to get a 

valuation of the property, especially as 

you are likely to require one if you need a 

loan. Some websites provide free estimated 

market values that may be useful. 

There’s a lot to take in at an auction and 

it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you can, 

go along to one as an observer to see how 

the process works before you actually want 

to buy. Remember that the auctioneer is 

working for the seller and they want to get 

the highest price possible for the property. 

At an auction, the auctioneer will read the terms and 

conditions of the sale aloud and announce if a reserve 

price has been set. They must also state whether the seller 

has reserved the right to bid during the auction. This is 

called ‘vendor bidding’ and it is only allowed under strict 

circumstances, such as when the property being auctioned 

has a reserve price; when the reserve price has not yet been 

met; and the auctioneer has made it clear that the bid being 

made is a vendor bid. They must do this by saying, ‘this is a 

vendor bid’ rather than using any jargon. 

Auctioneers sometimes use vendor bids as a way to 

start off the bidding, or to move the bidding towards the 

reserve price. Vendor bids can be made by the auctioneer, 

or another person working on behalf of 

the seller, such as a real estate agent. An 

auctioneer can also use a pre-auction offer 

to start the bidding. 

The auction continues until there is only 

one bidder left. At that stage, if the reserve 

price is reached or beaten, the highest 

bidder will be the successful buyer. If the 

reserve price isn’t reached, the seller can tell

Almost a lighting revolution 

The emergence of LED lighting might 

almost be mooted a revolution in lighting 

with them offering brighter, quicker, more 

cost effective light. 

While an initial higher outlay, long-term 

power savings make LEDs more economic 

with the adage ‘what you pay for is, what 

you get’ meaning the higher the quality 

the more benefits. LEDs usually return 

their initial cost in around a year through 

power savings while lasting over ten years, 

especially when a quality fitting. 

The overall cost of LED lighting is 

lower than when first introduced to the 

market. With its benefits much greater, 

incandescent light bulbs, compact 

fluorescent lamps and halogen lighting are 

all becoming a thing of the past. 

LED lighting is five to six times brighter 

than its incandescent equivalent and with 

a narrower beam angle the light is more 

focussed. 

Juice Electrical’s Greg Horton 

recommends LEDs due to their efficiency. 

“It’s unlikely you’ll need to change an 

LED fitting for 10-20 years as they last so 

much longer,” advises Greg. 

While LED lighting may add $500- 

$1,500 more to the cost of an average 

house build, the extra cost is future 

focussed as they use a tenth of the 

power for lighting. LED fittings are also 

becoming cheaper and there are now LED 

bulbs that can be retrofitted into older 

light fittings. 

“The way in which an LED diode 

is manufactured and the luminescent 

moulded together determines its quality,” 

explains Greg. 

There are other benefits in choosing 

better quality LEDs too. With high quality 

ICF LED lights, pink batt insulation can be 

closed and butted so it sits right beside and 

over the top of the LED. This was not the 

case with other lighting methods where 

insulation had to be cut away from the 

light fitting as it would heat up posing a 

fire hazard. 

With insulation able to cover high 

quality LED lights, more heat is retained 

in the home. However a word of warning, 

some LEDs still require insulation to be 

cut around them so it is essential you get 

advice from an electrician first. This is also 

something a building inspector will check 

if a new home is being constructed or an 

alteration requiring building consent is 

undertaken. 

LEDs are also ideal if changing a light 

fitting is a mission, such as with high 

ceilings and above stairs. 

Benefits of LED lighting: 

• Light output is excellent. 

• LED bulbs are very efficient, using up 

to 85% less electricity than incandescent 

bulbs. 

• LED bulbs last longer than other 

lighting forms. 

• Efficient use of electricity and longer 

life means less impact on the environment. 

• The LED’s lifespan is not affected by 

frequently being turned off and on. 

Negatives of LED 

lighting: 

• This form of 

lighting is initially 

more expensive. 

• Many older 

dimmers will not 

work with LED 

light bulbs making 

it more feasible to 

change the complete 

light fitting to an 

LED one, something 

Greg recommends 

as they have a much 

longer life span. 

The emergence of LED 

lighting might almost be 

mooted a revolution in 

lighting with them offering 

brighter, quicker, more 

cost effective light. 

LEDs are 5-6 times brighter than 

incandescent equivalents. 

LED is more focussed light. 

LED lighting uses less electricity.
