steal the Showquest

CHAMPS: Darfield High School took out Christchurch Showquest at Horncastle Arena last week. It was the third regional event
in New Zealand’s new music, dance and drama showcase for schools. Darfield High students choose to theme their performance
on gun violence in schools in the United States. This theme was chosen as they felt inspired by students of the same
age who had experienced it first-hand. The group spent seven weeks practising their performance before the regional contest.
For Jemma Dalley, one of the student captains for the Darfield High entry, the goal was to safely and conscientiously put across
the theme, while making their school and themselves proud. “That we’ve won is so awesome, and just puts the cherry on top
really,” said the 16-year-old. A national online final will name the top entry nationwide in September.

SELWYN’S biggest community
facility project ever could get the
green light today.
The district council will consider
signing off two major projects
worth about $37 million,
in its largest community facility
expenditure to date.
It is looking at extending the
Selwyn Aquatic Centre and approving
the design concepts for
the new Rolleston Library and
Community Centre.
Selwyn’s population is forecast
to grow from about 60,000 today
to 80,000 by 2028.
The two projects were proposed
in the Long Term Plan
2018 -2028 and previous annual
plans.
Property and commercial
manager Douglas Marshall
said the projects are key
developments in meeting the
increasing needs of the district,
as its population continues to
grow.
“This is a substantial investment
in the district which
ensures that two important
facilities meet the future needs
of all Selwyn residents,” he
said.

DRIVE BETWEEN Rolleston and Lincoln
and you’ll see what is happening: A
housing boom.
Some might say Rolleston and Lincoln
will one day be almost one, separated only
by Shands Rd. The merits of that are debatable.
But it’s a reality, which the district council is having to
address (see page 1).
Two very big projects are due for council sign off to cope with
the growing population. The Selwyn of today will be vastly different
to Selwyn in 10 years.
But the council also needs to think of the little guy. Like the
long suffering residents of West Belt in Lincoln. The road is still
in appalling condition, and at least one resident has been spotted
filling in the pot holes himself.
That’s next week’s story.

Senior policeman
calls for stop sign at Waddington
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
ONE OF the district’s top police
officers has joined the call
for action over a crash prone
intersection.
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills
has backed Waddington residents’
pleas to have a stop sign
installed at
the intersection
of State
Highway 73
and Waimakariri
Gorge
Rd.
NZTA
senior safety
engineer
Pete Stills
David Scarlet said on Monday
its highway maintenance team
will be providing a report on
conditions at the Waddington
intersection at the time of the
crash.
It will also look at other factors
which may have contributed
related to road, weather or signage
conditions.
Mr Scarlet said a stop sign
is normally used where there
is limited visibility and this
intersection had good visibility
in both directions.
SAFETY: Senior Sergeant Pete Stills wants a stop sign at the
State Highway 73 and Waimakariri Gorge Rd intersection.
He said a give way sign still
appears to be the most appropriate
tool to use.
In July, NZTA told Selwyn
Times it would not install a stop
sign at the intersection.
But Senior Sergeant Stills said
forcing motorists to stop should
increase their ability to have a
proper look in both directions.
“If we don’t try something different
we will keep getting what
we get now,” he said.
INTERNATIONAL
It comes after four people were
lucky not to be seriously injured
when a car was hit in the rear by
a truck on State Highway 73.
The incident happened on
Friday, July 27, at 1pm.
Senior Sergeant Stills said
two rental cars and a truck were
involved. The first car pulled out
from the Waimakariri Gorge
Rd causing the truck to brake
heavily.
The second vehicle followed
Comedy
Night
Lincoln Event Centre
SATURDAY
6 OCTOBER
and was hit in the rear by the
truck. No injuries were sustained,
but Senior Sergeant Stills
said the four occupants in the
second vehicle were very lucky.
“Had they been hit 1m further
forward on the vehicle they
would have had potentially serious
issues,” he said.
Already two serious crashes
have been recorded at the intersection
this year, one fatal.
Three other crashes that resulted
in both serious and minor
injuries were recorded at the
intersection between 2014-2016.
Senior Sergeant Stills said a
feature in several crashes at this
intersection has been a second
vehicle following another vehicle
through the give way without
having checked that the way is
clear.
He also considers it a suitable
intersection for a 70km/h flashing
sign on State Highway 73.

has assured residents if it was to
ever sell the building, it would be
offered back to the community
first.

The best of Selwyn recognised in
COURTNEY FORREST has
proven to be a popular man in
Selwyn.
The Rolleston youth worker
was awarded the inaugural People’s
Choice honour at the 2018
Selwyn Awards on Saturday
night.
The award was voted on by
Selwyn residents.
Nearly 2400 votes were cast
for the People’s Choice Award,
which was introduced for the
first time this year.
First runner-up for the
People’s Choice Award went to
Quickenberry Guesthouse and
second runner-up to after school
programme Busy Bumbles.
Mr Forrest was one of 10
Selwyn businesses, groups and
individuals who were recognised
for their excellence at the Selwyn
Awards Gala Dinner, held at the
Lincoln Event Centre.
Selwyn Times profiled Mr
Forrest, of Hope Presbyterian
Church earlier this year.
He talked about helping young
people living in Rolleston who
do not have strong role models
and how his parent’s separation
when he was younger has helped
him relate to other people going
through difficult times.
More than 330 people celebrated
the success of the region
at the event, which also featured
a range of entertainment, food
and beverages originating from
Selwyn.
Mayor Sam Broughton said it
was to see the community supporting
local people working for
the good of Selwyn.
“We have so many amazing
people in Selwyn giving up
their time to help others, building
thriving businesses which
support our district’s economy,
and working to improve our
environment and community
well-being,” he said.
“I am very proud of all our
winners, as well as the other
runners up and nominees – it
just shows what a wealth of
talent and creativity we have in
Selwyn.”

The Rolleston Library and
Community Centre will be the
focal point of the new town
centre, to be developed in the
vicinity of Rolleston Reserve and
Tennyson St.
The facility will provide a
usable area of 2256m 2 over two
storeys, and the space will be
flexible and adaptive, allowing it
to suit a range of needs.
It will feature meeting spaces,
current and future library collections
spaces, performance,
exhibition, display areas, children’s
spaces and research and
historical spaces.
Construction on the $22.2
million project is set to start in
April next year, with handover
pencilled in for July 2020.
The district council’s recent
Long Term Plan 2018-2028
includes a proposal for an additional
eight-lane, 25m pool at
Selwyn Aquatic Centre to meet
rapidly increasing demand for
additional capacity.
It is now considering a larger
proposal, for a new 10-lane, 25m
main pool, along with reconfiguration
of the existing pool.
The new pool would have a
depth range of 1.4 to 2m, and
the 10-lane layout provides flexibility
for deep water sports and
other activities.

The revised proposal, with a

Firefighters
rescue cat
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A CAT has had a lucky escape
after it became wedged between a
block wall and fence.
The Rolleston Volunteer Fire
Brigade was called out to one of
their more “trickier” rescues to
free the animal.
The brigade was alerted at
about 10am on Sunday morning
by a property owner on Andesite
Drive in Rolleston who heard the
screaming of the cat.
Senior firefighter Cam Kenyon
said it was trickier to rescue than
normal, as most cats the fire
brigade are called out to are normally
up trees or power poles.
The fire brigade was required
to wedge the fence away from the
block wall with a crowbar to free
the cat.
He said the cat, named Lola,
was frightened and ran away to its
owner’s house on Andesite Drive
when it was freed.

A GLENTUNNEL resident
fighting permanent chlorination
in parts of Malvern has been

It is
estimated
it will take
the district
council eight
hours of staff
time to collate and provide the
information on the requests.
Because the first hour of preparing
the response is free, the
cost of the staff time works out
to be about $86.8 per hour.
Mr Thompson said he refused
to pay the money.
He said he has been trying to
gather information and reports
to have a better understanding
of the history and risks in the
water scheme.

25 people sent in one question
each if that was all right,” he said.
But a district council spokesman
told Selwyn Times between
April 12 and July 13, Mr Thompson
has lodged 25 requests on
the chlorination.
It has not charged Mr Thompson
previously.
“We have been very cooperative
in working with Brian
with his requests,” he said.
Recent requests were for a list
of original ratepayers who were
members of the Malvern Hills
Water Scheme, a copy of all
contamination breaches of the
Hartleys Rd scheme in the past
three years and records of illegal
connections to the scheme.
Mayor Sam Broughton suggested
the Malvern Community
Board looks at using their discretionary
funds to support the
requests.
But Mr Thompson said it
didn’t “rest well” with him and
the money was supposed to be
for the community.
The district council confirmed
it permanently chlorinated the
Sheffield-Waddington water supplies
in June and the Malvern
Hills Hartleys Road supplies this
month and the next.
District council asset manager
Murray Washington said
answering these requests has a
significant cost to staff in terms
of time being taken away from
core tasks, as well as to the
ratepayer.
He said the district council
works to be as open as possible
and does not stand in the way of
releasing information to ratepayers
and stakeholders.

if information can be gathered

Young families embrace Selwyn as
Beth and Chris Sharpe are among the growing number of young
families living in the district. Emily O’Connell reports
IDEAL: (From left to right) – Andrew, Chris, Beth and Tim Sharpe
moved to Selwyn in 2014 and say it’s the “perfect” place to raise
a family.
PHOTO: NINA HENDERSON
FOR THE Sharpe family, it was
Chris’ work which led them to
move to the district in December
2014.
But according to his wife, Beth,
it’s also the perfect place to raise
children.
“The lifestyle here is nice
because the pace of life is a lot
slower which is really nice with a
family,” she said.
They are among a growing
number of young families
living in Selwyn. The district
council’s Long Term Plan predicts
55 per cent of the population
will be aged under 39-yearsold
in 2028.
The Sharpe family moved to
Selwyn as Chris’ job with Trustpower
had been transferred from
Dunedin to Lake Coleridge. He
works as a technical team leader
at the Coleridge hydroelectric
generation scheme.
When the family of four first
moved to the district, they settled
in Kirwee.
But less than a year later the
Sharpes moved to Darfield after
finding a suitable house.
“Darfield has a really nice
community as well [as Kirwee]
and we managed to find a house
there,” Mrs Sharpe said.
At 37 and 33-years-old, Mr and
Mrs Sharpe help make up 34 per
cent of the district’s population
who are aged between 15 and
39-years-old.
Mrs Sharpe says in the almost
four years they’ve lived in
Selwyn, she’s seen an increase
in young families living in the
area.
“There definitely are a lot more
families, I’ve noticed more families
at more things,” she said.
The district has 30 primary
and secondary schools which are
helping accommodate for the
growing number of children and
teenagers.
District council community relations
manager Denise Kidd said
it understands the population
has changed and it has worked
to provide key assets to the community.
“Like the Selwyn Aquatic Centre,
community and event centres,
libraries which also host a
range of events, sporting grounds
and dozens of playgrounds
around Selwyn featuring a range
of interactive play areas,” she
said.
Ms Kidd said it also works to
provide programmes such as
KidsFest, Boost and CultureFest
as ways to engage the
community and provide entertainment
for a wide range of local
residents.
“Through engagement
and consultation we also
work to investigate whether
current facilities meet the
needs of our ever changing and
developing communities,” she
said.
Mrs Sharpe said the
district has good facilities and
her children, Tim, 7, and Andrew,
4, attend library story
times and community gymnastics.
“If anything, I would say there
are too many options which is
funny because you’d think living
rurally that there wouldn’t be
enough choices for things to do
with kids,” she said.

“It’s so close and you can just

Data from the 2013 census
shows an increase in young
parents moving to the district
over an 11-year period.
In 2001 there were 120
parents aged under 25-yearsold
living in Selwyn. This
increased to 237 by 2013.
Similiarly, in 2001 there were
1674 parents aged between
25-years-old and 34-years-old
living in the district. This

In 2015 the district
council adopted its
Newcomers and Migrants
Strategy after conducting
research and working with a
mixture of key community
groups and agencies within the
district.
The strategy sets the
direction and aims to address
the needs of people new to the
district so that they can settle
well and call Selwyn their
home.
SWIM: The Selwyn Aquatic Centre is just one of
the facilities the district has on offer for young
families.

LINCOLN’S BEX Barrett has
one birthday wish this year – to
help people.
So in a bid to do just that,
she’s organised a variety night to
raise funds for the New Zealand
Breast Cancer Foundation.
In 2008, Mrs Barrett’s father,
Robert Dollery, died from breast
cancer.
“He actually had lung cancer
but it was secondary from a
strange cancer that originated
in the breast that normally
pregnant woman have,” she
said.
Mrs Barrett says she chose
the breast cancer foundation
because of the amazing work
they do.
“It’s just touched so much of
my life it just seemed like the
perfect charity to raise money
for and so I decided I would do a
fundraiser,” she said.
The event will be held on Mrs
Barrett’s birthday, September 1,
at the Lincoln Event Centre.
Friends and bandmates have
helped her organise the night,
which will feature a number of
acts including TribalDiva Belly
Dance Company, burlesque
performer and comic Ashleigh
Blair, ballroom and latin dance
phenomenon Saphire and Steel,
musicians Southfield, jazz singer
Georgia Catherine, Fan Dancers
and her own band, Hypnumb.
The master of ceremonies
for the night will be Nathan
Bonner or as he’s better known,
MulletMan. Mrs Barrett says he
will help bring the whole show
together.
“I think he’s incredibly talented
in his act, so he does a lot
of circus type acts, but he’s also
really, really funny and a really
lovely guy,” she said.
Mrs Barrett says the event will
be “a great night out in Lincoln.”
“If we can sell 200 tickets . . .
then we should be giving at least
over $4000 to the foundation
which would be lovely,” she said.
Doors will open at 6.30pm,
with the show starting at 7pm.

Light-fingered cat on the prowl
• By Emily O’Connell
MUCH LIKE Lynley Dodd’s
Slinky Malinki, cat Duncan,
from Rolleston, has been
helping himself to his
neighbours’ soft toys.
Owner Diane Guthrie says
Duncan’s habits are “a bit
embarrassing” but she’s pleased
their neighbours are good
about it.
“He likes to collect things.
He’s not a really cuddly cat, he
kind of does his own thing but
he’s very social,” she said.
Mrs Guthrie says Duncan,
aged 18-months, particularly
likes to steal dog toys from
Charlie, the golden retriever
which lives across the road.
“He takes all his toys . . . he
just brings them home and
leaves them,” she said.
Duncan also likes adventuring
to a nearby outdoor gym,
where Mrs Guthrie says he has
brought home hats, a sock and
a child’s headband.
After posting numerous pictures
of Duncan’s stolen goods
on the Rolleston Community
Page on Facebook, Mrs Guthrie
decided to create a separate
page for his mischievous acts.
A few weeks and 600 or so
likes later, Duncan’s adventures
are proving popular on Facebook.
But stealing isn’t the only
thing Duncan gets up to, Mrs
Guthrie says he also likes to
make himself at home in neighbouring
houses.
“He upset one neighbour because
in the summer he would
leave his window open and he
woke up one morning, well in
the early hours, and our cat was
sleeping at the end of his bed,”
she said.
Mrs Guthrie says Duncan
isn’t bothered if there are other
animals residing in the neighbouring
houses when he visits
and at times, he even tucks into
their food bowls.

Bridge gets
second fix
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A BRIDGE in Coalgate will
be sealed this summer after
complaints recent repairs made
the surface worst.
The Coalgate Township Committee
is unhappy about repairs
the New Zealand Transport
Agency has done on the bridge,
saying it has “made the bridge
worse,” a Malvern Community
Board report said.
NZTA repaired the bridge in
June after the deck joints had
deteriorated and were no longer
functioning correctly.
It was resealed at the same
time costing about $300,000.
District councillor Bob Mugford
said the bridge was brought
up at a recent committee meeting
while it was discussing the
general quality of the roads.
He said it appeared while the
joins on the bridge had been
repaired, they are raised causing
a series of bumps on the bridge,
“It is definitely bumpier than it
used to be,” he said.
Cr Mugford said he took the
issue to the district council, who
have since followed up with
NZTA.
The bridge was built in 1939.

Dame Patsy visits Selwyn
GOVERNOR-GENERAL Dame
Patsy Reddy and husband Sir
David Gascoigne visited the
district on Wednesday.
They were taken on a tour of
key sites about Te Waihora/Lake
Ellesmere, starting at Ngāti Moki
Marae at Taumutu and finishing
at Lincoln University’s Ashley
Dene Research and Development
Station.
Environment Canterbury
councillor Tom Lambie said the
visit represented an excellent
opportunity to showcase all
the good work happening on
the ground around the lake,
and research activity at the
university.
“Their Excellencies saw Te
Waihora first hand and the work
being done to restore the mauri
of the lake,” Mr Lambie said.
“There was a presentation
by one of the Ngāi Tahu Co-
Governors, Liz Brown, who gave
an overview of Te Waihora and
the catchment in terms of the
vision for the lake and plans for
restoration of its mauri.”
This was followed by a stop at
Orariki Wetland, a two-yearold
created wetland designed
to improve water quality,
biodiversity and mahinga kai.
Further on, at Lower Lake Rd
near Fisherman’s Point, there
was discussion about farming
within the Cultural Landscape
Values Management Area, a
particularly sensitive area near
the lake.
Hart’s Creek, a well-known
restoration site contributed to
by many farmers and other
community members for more
than a decade, was the final
stopping point before Lincoln
University.
At the Ashley Dene Research
and Development Station, they
heard a series of presentations on
communities working together
for better water outcomes and

Environmental
award for
Selwyn quarry
A SELWYN company has won
a top award at a national annual
quarry industry awards.
Southern Screenworks, based
in Aylesbury near Darfield, won
the Gold Award at the MIMICO
Environment and Community
Awards recently.
Judge and former
parliamentary commissioner
for the environment Dr Morgan
Williams said the company
overcame many challenges in
constructing, operating and
decommissioning a quarry at
Ohinemama, near Waitangi.
It was to provide more than
100,000 cu m of materials to build
the new $52 million wharf for the
Chatham Islands.
“They were working 800km
from mainland New Zealand
and their success was highly
dependent on community
relations – given it was a
single project quarry.”
After the wharf was completed,
the Ohinemama quarry was fully
restored to farmland.
The other Canterbury

growing and saving endangered
indigenous plants with multiple
partners. It won a silver award.

Springston School prepares to celebrate
OCTOBER WILL mark
Springston School’s 150th
anniversary.
On May 22, 1868, a group
of local landowners and
householders declared
themselves willing to form the
Springston Education District
and later that year the first
school room and schoolhouse
was built on Ellesmere Junction
Rd, with James Gammock
donating the land.
The school was built in two
and a half months and cost
£242. The opening ceremony
was held on the October 30,
1868, and the school started
with a roll of 25.
A playground was provided
across the road in one of
Gammock’s paddocks and this
was where the boys were able to
play while the girls had to stay in
the school grounds.
In the early days, attendance
grew and by the 1880s there were
186 children on the roll.
However, the average daily
attendance was only 89 – which
was less than half the roll. This
was due to the children often
being needed to help out at home
as well as the education fees
which many families could not
afford to pay.
CELEBRATION: Springston School almost 150 years on from when it first opened its doors.
The school continued to
grow and extra rooms were
added in 1878 and 1886 but
by 1920 the building was a
little worst for wear and the
school committee wrote to the
education board asking them
to buy a larger section because
the school was old and past
repair – little did they know they
would have to wait another 36
years.
Electricity came to
Springston in 1922 but it was
not until 1947 when the old
school was wired up. It was at
this time the school roll had
dropped back to 25 and the
school returned to being a
single-teacher school.
Finally in 1956 the
construction of new buildings
on the present site on Leeston
Rd revitalised the school and
the old school was pulled
down.
The community decided to
mark the occasion by
also building a swimming
pool.
The full cost was raised by
donations and pool was ready
for use in less than a month.
The pool has been a treasured
asset and over the years has
been retained for the good
of Springston School and
community, whereas many
other pools have not been so
lucky.

Fire rages, homes at risk
150 years
A long association with
country life continues today
with many students involved in
the agriculture club. Originally
called the calf club it was noted
the rivalry between herds of the
district for the premier award led
to fierce competition and it was
questioned how much the young
owners had in the selection, feeding
and grooming of their calves.
Today the school has a roll of
237, made up of 10 classes which
include collaborative learning
spaces, integrated technology,
well-resourced library, a community
garden and a large outdoor
learning centre. The focus of the
school is still very much connected
to the community and
local families.
To celebrate its jubilee, the
school is having a weekend full
of events on October 19 to 21.
Former pupils, teachers, board of
trustees, community members
and current school families are
welcome to attend.

Your rates 2018/19
What’s changed?
Selwyn ratepayers will be receiving their first rates notices for the 2018/19 year by post or email
about now – and will notice a few things have changed.
The rates were set by the Council after consultation on the Long-Term Plan, which set out the
major projects for the next 10 years, along with the expected costs. Nearly 1,800 people provided
feedback on the Plan, either through formal submissions or online feedback.
Overall, the average Selwyn rate increase per ratepayer is 6%, reflecting the investment in
landmark district projects including roading improvements, the Selwyn Aquatic Centre extension
and the new Rolleston Library and Community Centre. Actual increases for individual ratepayers
will vary based on location, property type and the services received, and may be higher or lower
than the average.
The biggest change is the introduction of standard district-wide rates for community centres
and reserves. This means everyone will now pay towards the cost of these facilities and everyone
will pay the same amount. The big advantage of this change is that it will provide the funding to
allow us to provide a network of quality facilities across Selwyn that best meet the needs of
our community.
Another change is that all ratepayers will now contribute to the cost of the water race network.
This recognises that water races don’t just provide stock water, but also contribute to Selwyn’s
environment and biodiversity, the aesthetics of our townships and the district’s rural heritage.
In addition there are increases in the General Rate (the part of the bill based on the capital value
of the property), water rates and the stormwater rate. The $60 previously collected for additional
transportation costs has been stopped and is now collected through the General Rate.
For more details on the changes to rates visit www.selwyn.govt.nz/rates2018.
You can also find out about different types of rates, easy ways to pay, the rates rebate scheme
and more, on our website at https://www.selwyn.govt.nz/services/rates. The first rates instalment
is due for payment on 15 September.
Good living, great value
Nobody loves getting their rates bill, but rates are an important way that the Council helps fund
the essentials that keep Selwyn thriving. A typical residential property in one of the districts larger
townships might pay around $3,000 a year in Selwyn rates – that’s roughly equivalent to the cost
of a cup of coffee and a sandwich a day. But rates are working for everybody 24/7, providing great
value for the services that all Selwyn residents enjoy, like …
1,000 litres of water supplied for $1.10
a day
Wastewater flushed away for $1.50
a day
Rubbish, recycling and green waste
collected and processed for $1.25 a day

Your Local Views
Chairman going out with a bang
Jens Christensen, who is the
chairman of the committee,
which organises
the annual
Rolleston
fireworks night,
writes about
how it started
and why he’s
stepping down from his role.
SOME 35 years ago the original
Rolleston fireworks night was
hatched by a group of Rolleston
identities and stalwarts of the
time.
Local residents and the district
council over the preceding year
brought their tree and hedge cuttings
to the old league ground for
the Guy Fawkes bonfire.
The rugby league ground was
in the vicinity of the district
council headquarters.
The format over the years
was for the locals to bring their
private fireworks down to the
league fields and elders and
members of the volunteer fire
brigade would let the fireworks
off on bits of 4x2 timber and
planks while enjoying the bonfire.
It sure was a true family evening.
Twenty years ago, Ken Shearer
and I got our heads together
and in conjunction with the
Rolleston Residents Association
Committee and the Rolleston
Reserve Management Committee
thought it would be a good
idea to introduce a professional
operator with some bigger fireworks.
The Yellow Pages introduced
us to Paul Collins of Fireworks
International and he has been
with us every year since.
The cost that year for fireworks
was $2000 and while Ken and I
Valuable informed
underwrote the costs, fundraising
on the night meant that the
underwrite was never needed.
Every year since we have managed
to extend the fireworks
spend and then a bigger venue
when we moved to Rolleston
Reserve and then two years ago
the move to the bigger, better
Foster Park.
Bigger for the crowd to spread
out and a bigger safety area
for the operator to fire bigger
brighter mortar shells.
WITH A BANG:
Rolleston’s
annual fireworks
display in 2014.
This photo from
the event was
captured by
a member of
the Rolleston
Community Page
on Facebook.

FRANCOISE
HURT
The fireworks spend is now
$30,000 and with 2.5km of
security fencing, 36 security
guards, 30 portable toilets, sound
systems and the like.
The night costs in the vicinity
of $65,000 to run.
Our income is $15,000 from
Pub Charity Ltd, $5000 from the
district council and the bulk of
the balance through gate donations.
The gate donations are all important
to balance the books as
the organising committee consists
of Trisha Pullin, myself and
a representative of each of the
community groups running the
stalls for their own fundraising.
We do not have any other organisation
to fall back on for the
shortfall although the organisation
does hold a reasonable cash
reserve as a buffer.
Of significance is that this
iconic district event allows the
community groups on the night
to raise for their groups an
amount in excess of $30,000.
As I am moving out of the district
it is time to seek a replacement
chair and conductor of this
big orchestra.
Assistant Trisha is keen to
hand over her important role
also.
•If you are interested
phone Trisha on 347 8973
so training can begin before
the event, which is due to be
held on November 3.
debate on euthanasia
Selwyn MP Amy Adam
writes about the public
information she held in
Selwyn last week on the
End of Life Choice Bill.
On Thursday I hosted a public
information meeting here in
Selwyn on the End of Life Choice
Bill which is currently going
through the select committee
process in Parliament.
The purpose of the meeting
was to give local people the
opportunity to hear from two
Members of Parliament with
contrasting views on this topic
The two speakers were David
Seymour, who has championed
this Bill, and Maggie Barry, who
is National’s spokeswoman for
issues affecting senior citizens.
Both speakers spoke thoughtfully
on this topic and presented
their respective views about assisted
dying to the audience.
For those who were unable
to attend the meeting and are
interested to learn more about
this topic, the aim of the Bill is
to give people with a terminal
illness or those suffering from
a “grievous and irremediable”
medical condition the option of
requesting assisted dying.
One of the most important
issues around this Bill for me
personally is making sure that
the appropriate safeguards are in
place and the law is not capable
of being misused.
The provisions of the Bill
specify that two medical practitioners
must approve the request
Amy Adams
Selwyn MP
for assisted dying.
The Bill states that the medical
practitioners must also do their
best to ensure that the person is
expressing their own wish, not
under pressure from any other
person.
The Bill states that if the two
medical practitioners do not
agree whether the person is
eligible for assisted dying or
competent to make such a decision,
the case will be referred to a
specialist for their opinion.
I have also received feedback
from many people here in
Selwyn who have strong views
both for and against this Bill.
In a recent survey that I sent
to a random selection of local
residents, the majority of respondents
stated that they were
in favour of giving the terminally
ill the right to end their lives.
•If you would like to get
in touch with me to share
your views on this Bill, email

Thank you Jeff Bland for

voice your opinion on

All other Selwyn district

citing that it would not be

to stay impartial. Silence
is not acceptable when you

having the courage and a

Some of the larger native species
belong to a family called
Pompilidae or spider wasps, of
which there are 11 species in
New Zealand.
On Christmas Eve last year,
I observed one of these wasps,
Priocnemis species, repeatedly

shiny black hunting wasps have
long legs and iridescent black
coloured wings.
Pompilids are solitary wasps
that paralyse large spiders with
venom, drag them backwards
across the ground into a nest
hole, and lay a single egg on
them.
When the larva hatches, they
eat the paralysed spider while it
is still alive, saving its vital organs
to last, just before the wasp
larva pupates.
Hosts are usually larger
species including native
trap-door or tunnelweb
spiders.
$10k for Camp Twitch
CHRISTCHURCH mother
Robyn Twemlow is out to
make a difference in the lives of
those diagnosed with Tourette
Syndrome – and last week
received $10,000 from the Mazda
Foundation to aid her cause.
Tourette’s is a condition characterised
by tics, repetitive and
involuntary movements.
Five years ago, Ms Twemlow’s
then-nine-year-old daughter
Analise was diagnosed with the
syndrome.
But the pair found there was
little support for them in the
community.
Ms Twemlow founded the
Tourette’s Association of New
Zealand as a way for her family
to connect with other affected
Kiwis.
As well as running a support
system for families and an
information hub for those who
have been recently diagnosed,
the Tourette’s Association also
began running a yearly camp
called Camp Twitch.
It brings together young
people with Tourette’s and their
families for a weekend of fun
where their tics are welcomed.
At Blackwells City Mazda
last week Ms Twemlow was
presented with $10,000 from the
Mazda Foundation to help run
KIND DONATION:
Blackwells City Mazda dealer
principal Seth Ovens with
Robyn and Analise Twemlow.
Camp Twitch, enabling more
than 50 young people and their
families to attend the camp.
Ms Twemlow said the funding
would reduce the financial stress
of families living with Tourette’s
and allows young people from
any financial background to attend
the camp.
She said Camp Twitch is an
environment where children
can “tic loud and proud.”
“It’s amazing to see them
build their self-esteem and take
ownership over their disorder.
It also provides opportunity for
parents to share their experiences
of raising a child with
Tourette Syndrome – so it’s an
empowering experience for all
involved.”

Lincoln’s semi-final
hopes all but gone
• By Jacob Page
LINCOLN Combined’s top-four
UC Championship aspirations
are hanging by a thread.
A 38-0 drubbing at the hands
of Nelson College on Saturday
has all but ended their top four
chances.
Lincoln Combined will need
to beat competition leaders,
Christchurch Boys’ High in
their final round-robin game
this Saturday and hope results
go their way.
Coach Mike Wilson said his
team struggled to match up
against the size of the Nelson
College forwards and their
strong ball-runners on a muddy
Nelson College field.
“We couldn’t match their
physicality,” he said.
“They have some really strong
ball-runners and while we tried
to contain them, we could only
do so much.”
Wilson said his team was hard
on defence for much of the first
half.
“It was 12-0 at half-time
and we’d had no ball except for
five minutes at the end of the
half we’re we got them down to
14 men for repeated infringements
but couldn’t get over the
line.”
Wilson said conceding a soft
try from the second-half kickoff
didn’t help matters, but the
boggy ground conditions took a
toll later in the game.
“We had (halfback Robert
Sporke) almost sick at half-time
and he is a supremely fit guy,”
Wilson said.
“Nelson are a very good team,
possibly the best we’ve played
and in those conditions, they’re
hard to stop.”
Lincoln Combined did welcome
back captain Wil Gualter
but it wasn’t enough.
Wilson said there was no
shortage of desire from his
players to try to match it against
CBHS, who will be smarting

BROADFIELD A have surged
to the top of the Selwyn premier
netball competition after beating
rivals Greenpark A 56-48 at
the Lincoln Event Centre on
Saturday.
The two teams have traded victories
this season, but with points
going towards the semi-finals in
the third round, Greenpark A
secured a crucial win.
Defending champions Lincoln
A got their top four hopes on
track with a 64-47 win over
Southbridge A while Greenpark
B sit ahead of their A team on the
ladder after cooling Rolleston A’s
good start 52-39.
Broadfield A coach Yvonne
Crichton-Hill said every game
was crucial in the final round but
she was thrilled with the complete
team effort to get the win.
“We need to be winning every
game from here on in,” she said.
“There’s a really good feel
around the team, really positive,”
she said.
Experience at both ends of the
court, particularly with shooter
Maia Hill could prove Broadfield’s
A best asset.
The win saw Broadfield A go
a point clear of both Lincoln A
and Greenpark B at the top of
the competition but with just five
points separating all six teams,
everyone still had a chance to
make the final four,
Greenpark A and Lincoln A
will do battle in the pick of the
games this Saturday.
Another loss for Greenpark
A could make their road to the
semi-finals challenging.
Greenpark B will play Broadfield
A and Rolleston A will meet
Southbridge A.
Results:
Greenpark B 52, Rolleston
A 39; Lincoln A 64,
Southbridge A 47; Broadfield
A 56, Greenpark A 48.
Points:
Broadfield A 9, Lincoln A 8,

DARFIELD survived a late
scare to advance to their
second straight Ellesmere
rugby Coleman Shield
final after a 23-22 win over
Prebbleton on Saturday.
Darfield will meet
Waihora, after the
competition favourites
easily accounted for
Springston 32-19 in Tai
Tapu, scoring five tries in
the process.
After doing the business
at Prebbleton Oval,
Darfield will host the final
which should give them the
advantage of a vocal home
crowd.
A missed Prebbleton
penalty closing in on
full-time was all the good
SPORTS
Darfield survive and
advance to shield final
fortune Darfield needed to
hold on.
Prebbleton were unable
to make the most of a 22-9
advantage.
After a gritty comeback
and two Scott Mitchell
drop goals saw Darfield
earn and then cling to their
one-point lead for much of
the second half.
Prebbleton had many
attacking raids near the
Darfield try line but each
time they came up short.
Waihora’s charge to win
both the Combined Country
and Ellesmere senior
rugby titles never looked in
danger against Springston
in the other semi-final.
Springston, who were
new to top flight rugby
this season and performed
admirably, couldn’t recover
from an early 12-0 deficit.
Tries to hard-working
forward Joe Robins and
Michael Burnett had
Waihora up 12-0.
Springston did get on the
board through flanker Sam
Lawn but still faced a 17-5
half-time deficit.
Waihora struck first with
a converted try through
Matt Saunders which Harrison
Kirk converted.
Waihora’s fifth try to
Will Hurst was the icing on
the cake.
Waihora took the Murray
Cooper Shield off Darfield
a fortnight ago the last time
they met, while Darfield
will be looking to cap a
stellar season by causing an
upset.

Fresh flowers for
every occasion
After flying high as a member of Air New Zealand’s cabin crew
for many years, three years ago West Melton resident Sandy
Sharp landed on a different pathway, re-training in floristry and
starting her own home-based business, Miss Lily Flowers.
Flowers are Sandy’s passion, and she
would like to see more New Zealanders
following the European style of always
having fresh flowers in the home. She plays
her part in making them readily available
with her mobile flower trailer, named
Connie, which she sets up in Cathedral
Square Christchurch every Friday and at
the West Melton Market on
Saturday mornings.
At her Miss Lily
Flowers studio in
West
Melton
Sandy creates
exquisite floral
arrangements
for every
occasion
in life –
from weddings to funerals, birthdays to
anniversaries.
“I prefer a more natural look for bouquets
and arrangements and I’m finding there
is quite a following for that. I love the
creativity of the process and also the contact
with people that floristry gives me.”
She also provides floral arrangements
for the real estate sector when homes for
sale are staged for presentation to potential
purchasers.
Orders for floral arrangements
can be placed through the Miss Lily
Flowers Facebook page by email to
misslilyflowers@xtra.co.nz, or by calling
021 342 924. Sandy will be happy to
discuss your requirements and create a
memorable arrangement, whatever the
occasion calls for.

Meet the alpacas
at Sherlin Alpaca stud farm
Established in 1999 by Lindsay and
Sheryl Riddle, the delightful Sherlin Alpaca
stud farm is sited on 22 hectares of land
between West Melton and Templeton.
Starting with five alpacas, the couple
gradually increased their herd and they
now have around 300 head, from which
they breed to sell stock and also shear the
fibre for making alpaca products.
They carry the two alpaca breeds – the
Huacaya, which has a coat similar to a
sheep fleece, and the Suri, which has a
fleece like dreadlocks. Both breeds come in
all the alpaca colours – black, brown, fawn,
grey and white.
Lindsay says alpacas are easy to care for,
have personality, and make ideal pets for
a lifestyle block. They eat grass when it’s
plentiful and meadow hay, lucerne baleage
or lucerne chaff in the winter. The young
alpacas are halter trained at Sherlin, so
they can be taken for walks. For anyone
interested in acquiring two or more
animals, Lindsay and Sheryl will provide
all the necessary advice on their care and
requirements.
“We like to get to know the people who
are looking to buy alpacas and we explain
how and why we got into breeding them
and what they can expect,” Lindsay says.
Sherlin Alpaca offers farm tours, during
which visitors can see the alpacas and hand
feed them. They also have a shop with a wide
selection of alpaca-orientated products on
display. These include items hand-knitted
by Sheryl such as clothes for babies and
children up to five years of age. They design
and make their own thermal socks, which
are very popular, and the Comfy Sock, a
bed sock suitable for diabetics, or anyone
who has cold feet in bed. They also have
garments from Peru, the home country of
the alpaca.
Lindsay and Sheryl take their mobile
unit and alpacas to A&P Shows around
Canterbury, while the 2018 National
Alpaca Show being held in Christchurch at
the A&P Showgrounds from October 5-7
is an opportunity for the public to see the
country’s top alpacas compete for Best in
Show. An alpaca shown by Sherlin won the
honour at the first National Show in 2004.
To book a farm tour, or for further
enquiries, phone 349 7524, see their
website www.sherlin-alpaca.co.nz or visit

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
From rural town to
expanding suburbia
Along with Rolleston, Lincoln is
considered to be one of the fastest
growing towns in Selwyn.
Over the last 20 years, Lincoln has
tripled its population and the trend to
expand looks set to continue according
to the 2017 Lincoln University Planning
Review.
While the village centre of Lincoln
still holds its country charm, new
commercial developments and services
are in place to support the growing
demands of the ever-increasing
population.
New residential developments
continue to grow at a fast rate and
expand into the countryside giving
prospective homeowners more
significant opportunity to be part of a
‘rural’ community.
Green spaces, walkways, playgrounds,
and tennis courts are just some of the
positives these new developments bring
to help promote healthy lifestyles and
communities suitable for both young
and old alike.
Subdivisions such as Flemington,
Rosemerryn, Barton Fields and Te
Whāriki offer a wide range of section
sizes and homeownership opportunities
to help satisfy the demand.
Progressive Realty director Joe
Mullins says sections in Flemington
continue to be sought after and sales
are strong. Flemington offers sections
ranging from 400m 2 to 750m 2 and still
has 300 sections to come to the market.
Bayleys sales representative for Fulton
Hogan’s Rosemerryn subdivision,
Nathan Collett, says that they too have
seen a significant increase in enquiries
over the past months. Rosemerryn
currently has three stages open for sales
with section sizes ranging from 429m 2
to 2,282m 2 and due to high demand is
set to release its next stage in spring.
Sections through these companies
can be purchased privately or through
a choice of housing companies offering
turnkey or design and build options.
Both agree that the future growth for
Lincoln looks promising. Mr Collett
says their buyers love the new amenities
that Lincoln now has to offer and
believes that as land prices increase in
other areas such as Halswell, Prebbleton
and even Rolleston, Lincoln still
provides excellent value.
With the partnership of Lincoln
University and AgResearch’s $206
million Joint Facility for learning and
research soon to be based in Lincoln
and the New Zealand Army centralising
its operation in Burnham, Mr Mullins
says both will bring more families to
the wider area including Lincoln.

them in entrance ways, under
verandas, decks and patios.
And what’s really great about
baskets is they are super easy to
assemble. Grab a basket, many
come with a fitted coconut liner
but if not get some sphagnum
moss to line it with.
Baskets come in wide wire
frames, more compact versions
of wicker style or solid conical
shapes. Whatever you choose I
recommend getting a basket/s at
least approx 30cm in diameter.
Solid baskets have the benefit
of not drying out as quickly. But
they don’t allow for you to cascade
plants around the sides and
base of the basket. Wire ones have
a real cottage garden feel.
Coconut liners are solid and ideal
for wire baskets with bigger gaps.
Using sphagnum moss wouldn’t
work on a wire basket as the moss
would fall through the gaps.
Some baskets come with a self-
HANGING AROUND: Give
your baskets plenty of colour
variety.
watering reservoir which might
save you watering for a few days
in summer. I like to place an old
saucer at the bottom of the basket
which acts as a water catcher
and helps the basket to retain its
moisture.
When assembling your basket,
first soak the liner in a bucket of
water for five minutes to really
help its hydration. Line your
basket with the coconut or moss
liner. Then fill it almost to the top
with lightweight potting soil mix
and compost.
An easy trick here is to balance
your round basket on an old
bucket so it stays flat while you
are assembling it.
If you want to get fancy try
DID YOU grow up in a house
where parsley was the go-to
garnish for classing up platters?
Do you remember loading it
into white cheese sauce or sprinkling
it on your eggs? Parsley was,
and remains, a favourite herb in
many Kiwi kitchens.
And it’s not surprising when
you think about how hugely versatile
a herb it is. Almost any boiled
vegetable can be topped with
parsley (and butter in our house).
Appetisers, whether they’re fish,
hummus or cheese-based, can all
mixing in some water gel crystals.
They retain water in the summer
months and help if you miss a day
or two of watering.
And now for your plants.
Choose a vibrant hanging basket
mix which features a range of
suitable, seasonal flowers. Some
favourites include lobelia, pansy,
English daisy, dwarf antirrhinum,
viola and primula. Although this
does change with the seasons.
Try adding plants in the middle
that pack a bit of height. Dwarf
antirrhinum (also known as
dwarf snapdragons) are perfect
for this. Or looking for something
a bit more practical and close to
kitchen? Add some parsley or
basil in the middle and keep your
cascading flowers on the edges.
Wondering how many to add
to one basket? If it’s 30cm across
three to five plants is suitable.
Slightly wider and you could
easily fit seven. I like a really full
basket right from the start so I
really pack them in.
Once established hanging
baskets require little maintenance
other than regular watering –
especially during the hot summer
months. But right now they won’t
need a lot of water.
So, stop waiting for spring to
arrive to get back out into your
gardens. Spring to it now and
plant some baskets.
Easy to grow parsley has many uses in the kitchen
• By Henri Ham
benefit from a sprinkling of parsley.
Find yourself short on basil
for your pesto? Just use parsley
instead. The list of uses for parsley
in the kitchen are endless.
I like to have both flat leaf
parsley (sometimes called Italian
parsley) and curly parsley on
hand in my vege garden. Generally
the flat leaf (left) is the stronger
variant. Although this can change
depending on how old your plant
is and how much sun it gets.
People often find it super easy
to grow and once established
parsley requires little maintenance.
Parsley likes rich fertile soil
topped with compost or manure
if available. Plant it in a sunny
spot or in pots close to the kitchen.
Once established, it doesn’t
need a heap of watering.
If any flowers appear and it
starts looking like it’s going to
seed, I quickly cut these out and it
will continue to reward.
Because it grows so easily I
sometimes find myself with an
abundance of parsley.
After I’ve given some away and
frozen some more I like to use
it in some parsley-concentrated
recipes – particularly salsa verde

Hanging baskets – spring into them now
EASY: Once established hanging baskets require little
maintenance other than watering.
Fire rages, homes at risk
and tabbouleh.
Salsa verde is a cold uncooked
Italian herb-based sauce.
It is ideal for ladling on steak,
fish or fresh sourdough bread.
Salsa verde combines handfuls of
chopped parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar
and seasoning. It keeps well
in the fridge for a few months so
perfect for the summer barbecue
season.
You’ll find many variations of
both these recipes by searching
online. Simply choose one that
fits with what ingredients you
have readily available at the

Property Brokers reveals
punchy new branding
Property Brokers is excited to reveal
its fresh and punchy new branding,
cementing their position as New Zealand’s
nationally provincial real estate agency.
In a little over 30 years, Property Brokers
have built their family business into a
company that stretches from the Waikato
to the South Island. The Property Brokers
family is 600 strong, with 43 branches
across the country and will continue to
expand in the provinces in years to come.
Staying true to the previous flag logo,
the new brand is a modern twist on the
flag and still reflects the culture of the
company. “We have changed our look,
not who we are” says Tim Mordaunt,
Managing Director of Property Brokers.
Prior to the new brand, Property
Brokers, established in 1986, has only ever
had two logos. “After 20 years it was time
for the company to modernise our brand
to ensure it reflects who we are today, to
reflect how much the company has grown
over the last 20 years, and to ensure the
new logo works well in digital formats,
social media platforms, and evolves
and adapts with new technology and
advertising trends moving forward” says
Mordaunt.
“Changing our brand has given us the
opportunity to audit our whole company.
Our values, our True Team promise, our
internal and external relationships have
all been a focus for us as we look to the
future. Property Brokers has conducted
an extensive survey of our clients, our
suppliers and our staff and the feedback
has been extremely encouraging” says
Tim. “We are proud to be a contributor to
the services of our own regions and we are
truly humbled by the support we receive
from our communities”.
Due to the size of the company and
multiple locations across the country,
the new brand rollout will begin from
the 1st August 2018 and each Property
Brokers branch will be progressively rebranded
over the next 6 months. All the
Property Brokers family are positive and
enthusiastic about the new brand which
was revealed to them at their annual
conferences in June. “It has been a highly
motivating and constructive process” says
Tim “and we look forward to sharing our
brand and more importantly, our brand
values, with our local communities”.
Tim Mordaunt, Managing Director of Property
Brokers, holds the new PB brand flag.
