Mother of 

three on 

roller-coaster 

journey 

• By Emily O’Connell 

ANNA PHILIPS has spent 

11 years caring for patients 

undergoing cancer treatment. 

Now it’s her turn. The 36-yearold, 

of Rolleston, has been 

diagnosed with bone cancer while 

on maternity leave after having her 

third child. 

Mrs Philips started 

chemotherapy on Monday. 

“It was all very sudden and very 

scary of course, given I am an 

oncology nurse and I know too 

much about these situations,” the 

Christchurch Hospital nurse said 

of her diagnosis. 

Test results show Mrs Philips’ 

cancer is contained within 

her left femur. But a surgical 

biopsy confirmed it is the “more 

aggressive type.” 

“Emotionally, it’s been very 

much a roller coaster ride,” she 

said. 

A pain had developed in her left 

leg about a year ago when she was 

pregnant, but she did not think 

anything of it. 

But months after giving birth to 

Isabella, the pain “really started to 

play up again.” Exercises from the 

osteopath weren’t helping so Mrs 

Philips went to her doctor.

Residents’ 

group 

didn’t 

know of 

chairman’s 

role 

• By Anan Zaki 

A RESIDENTS’ group fighting 

to stop the Fulton Hogan 

quarry near Templeton didn’t 

know its chairman was on a 

community advisory group set 

up by the company. 

Weedons Residents’ Association 

chairman John McKim is 

one of seven members of the 

advisory group. 

The group is part of developing 

information for Fulton Hogan’s 

resource consent application for 

its controversial quarry between 

Templeton and Weedons. 

A meeting was held between 

Mr McKim and other committee 

members after Selwyn Times 

revealed his involvement in the 

group. 

Selwyn Times also revealed 

that Ian Walsh, a resident who 

lived 3km from the proposed 

quarry site, was part of the 

group which drew criticism 

from Weedons residents. 

The make-up of the remaining 

five advisory group members has 

been kept secret by Fulton 

Hogan, which still refuses to 

release them on privacy grounds.

ANNA PHILIPS has a tough battle ahead 

as she starts chemotherapy to beat cancer 

(page 1). 

The Rolleston mum is a nurse at 

Christchurch Hospital who specialises in 

caring for those struck down by the dreadful Big C. 

She was inspired to become a nurse and help those with 

cancer after her brother succumbed to the disease when she was 

a teenager. 

Her cancer is contained within her left femur, but a biopsy 

has determined it is the “more aggressive type.” 

We wish her all the best. 

On pages 16, 17 and 18 we look at an institution which has 

reinvented itself over the years – the Lincoln Club. 

Not a bad sort of a club to be part of, I hear.

‘Fuel’ management 

needed to prevent another big fire 

• By Julia Evans 

ANOTHER MAJOR fire on the 

Port Hills will happen. 

That’s the stark warning from 

an agricultural expert who says 

the vegetation on the hills is a 

powder keg. 

Lincoln University’s Derrick 

Moot said active management of 

the area was needed to prevent 

future events 

like the Port 

Hills fires, 

which burned 

for 66 days last 

year. Helicopter 

pilot Steve 

Askin crashed 

and died while 

Derrick Moot fighting the 

blaze. 

Two separate fires on Early Valley 

Rd and Marleys Hill combined 

to one, destroying nine houses and 

significantly damaging two. 

An investigation concluded 

that both fires were possibly deliberately 

lit, though it was listed 

as undetermined. 

But Dr Moot said in his opinion, 

the fire could have easily 

spread further and taken out 

more homes. 

“We’re very fortunate we didn’t 

get a southerly. It went from a

nor’west to a nor’east, but could 

have quite easily blown down to 

a lot more housing,” he said. 

“They were devastating 

enough as it was for the people 

involved and we lost someone. 

But this was a warning that we 

need to have active management 

of the peripheral area.” 

Dr Moot said simple things such 

as maintaining grass growth and 

grazing would significantly reduce 

the likelihood of another fire. 

“We need someone to take responsibility 

of the area, whether 

that be the Christchurch City 

Council, Selwyn District Council 

or Environment Canterbury. 

There needs to be guidelines for 

land owners.” 

Dr Moot said if NIWA’s prediction 

for a hot, dry November 

came through the grass and 

weather in the wider Port Hills 

area would be in an identical 

state as they were before the fires. 

He said the effects of climate 

change also have an impact. 

Rural firefighter Richard 

McNamara, who led the aerial 

assault on the fire, said there was 

always the potential for another 

disaster given the “fuels” that 

were up on the Port Hills. 

2019 

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 2 MARCH 2019 

“There’s always been fires up 

there but the issue is that our 

urban dwellings are pushing further 

up and also climate change. 

We’re going to start having hotter, 

drier summers,” he said. 

Mr McNamara said it was up 

to those who live in the area to 

understand the risk as he said 

management would be hard to 

enforce. 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand manager rural fire Tim 

Mitchell said there was not a one 

size fits all solution. 

“It’s not an easy problem to 

resolve. You’ve got to think of 

the context of each landowner,” 

he said. 

Mr Mitchell said if landowners 

needed help the councils, FENZ 

and other organisations would 

help. 

In the wake of the fires, FENZ 

went through an operational 

review. Urban and rural firefighters 

are working together 

in training, as well as working 

with the community to spread 

prevention awareness.

GREENPARK ASSAULT 

Inquiries are still ongoing after 

police executed a search warrant 

at a property in Greenpark 

where a 28-year-old man was 

assaulted. Police recovered two 

stolen vehicles, stolen property 

and about 40 cannabis plants. The 

assault occurred at 10.30am last 

Saturday. Senior Constable Andy 

Williamson said the man’s injuries 

were not life threatening. 

BIRD CAUSES POWER CUTS 

A magpie caused a power pole to 

catch fire after it flew into the line 

last Tuesday, frying itself in the 

process. The Springfield and Sheffield 

volunteer fire brigades were 

called to the incident at 10.30am 

on Kowai Bush Rd. The power pole 

was replaced by Orion. Properties 

on Kowai Rd, Midland Rd and 

Rubicon Rd lost power at 11.05am. 

Power was restored at 2.45pm. 

POWER LOST 

About 1400 residents lost power 

in Selwyn on Sunday. Orion 

spokeswoman Jessalee MacLean 

said the power outages were 

“largely” caused by tree branches 

and vegetation coming into 

contact with power lines as a result 

of the stormy weather. Orion crews 

progressively restored power.

COUNCIL EXTENSION 

The district council has 

endorsed the updated proposal 

for a planned extension of 

its Rolleston headquarters. 

The original proposal was for 

an extension of 385 sq m to 

provide space to accommodate 

growing staff numbers and 

improved customer areas. The 

updated proposal achieves a 

similar outcome with a smaller 

extension of 125 sq m, along 

with the reconfiguration of 

existing office areas to provide 

more flexible work spaces within 

the building, and a centralised 

customer service area. The 

project has a budget of $2.7 

million. 

Miner, journo to stay-at-home dad 

Matt Salmons’ working life has stretched from mining to being a journalist at Star Media, publisher of Selwyn Times. 

Last week he put down his pen and pad to become a stay-at-home dad. We will follow Matt’s new adventure with 

10-month-old daughter Vittoria in a weekly column 

I’VE ALWAYS wanted to be 

a dad. 

I haven’t always been great 

with kids or anything, but it 

seemed like a damn fine idea. 

However, I’d never thought 

I would like to be a full-time 

dad. 

So I surprised myself when 

I said yes so quickly to my 

wife Laura’s question – “would 

you want to be a stay-at-home 

dad?” 

I had zero need to think it 

over – it was a decision I made 

subconsciously. After all, I love 

my darling daughter Vittoria, 

what can I say? 

With our country’s beloved 

first-man Clarke Gayford 

leading the charge, I certainly 

felt confident in my decision. 

And with Mr Gayford 

retiring from the illustrious 

post, dare I say it, maybe I 

could become the nation’s 

leading cardigan-draped 

crusader? 

But as the time for me to 

take over draws nearer, the 

actual logistics of what’s 

coming become apparent. 

Laura has spent more than 

10 months learning exactly 

what to do and when. 

Even with all the changes 

in baby, she just seems to 

know what Vittoria needs and 

when she needs it. When she’s 

hungry, tired, thirsty or has 

a dirty nappy. Well, actually, 

that last one’s pretty obvious. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not 

saying I’m useless here. A day 

or two after Vittoria was born, 

I’d already changed 200 per 

cent more nappies and been 

to more kids events than my 

grandfather and he had six 

kids. 

I’ve also looked after Vittoria 

on my tod for extended 

periods, too, just not every day 

in the same way Laura has. 

No, my concern is that I’m 

essentially coming into a new 

job, with a boss who literally 

has no empathy (because I 

need to teach her that) and I’m 

only qualified to do it parttime. 

So I’ll be taking notes and 

gearing myself for a new 

challenge. 

I’m sure having the most 

important thing in my life 

scream at me for hours 

will work as well as onthe-job 

training. 

CHANGE: Matt 

Salmons has a 

new full-time job 

– looking after 

his daughter 

Vittoria.

Drink driver caught nearly six times over limit 


A 52-YEAR-OLD man will 

appear in the Christchurch 

District Court next month after 

being caught driving nearly 

six times over the legal alcohol 

limit on Saturday night. 

It comes after Selwyn police 

have been targeting bars and 

hotels in an effort to crack 


DISCUSSIONS ARE ongoing as 

to who will pay to sort out the 

footpath and cycleway outside 

The Warehouse in Rolleston. 

The footpath and cycleway on 

Masefield Drive disappear as the 

road narrows around a bend. 

A meeting took place between 

one of the developers and the 

district council on Thursday. 

The district council and 

the developers of Rolleston 

Square, where The Warehouse 

is sited, have been at odds over 

which should pay to fix the problem. 

District council chief executive 

David Ward has told Selwyn 

Times it considers the developers 

have responsibilities to resolve the 

down on drink driving. 

The man, who 

is from Auckland, 

recorded a breath 

alcohol reading of 

1438mcg/l. The legal 

limit is 250mcg/l for 

someone 20-years-old 

and over. 

Senior Constable 

Andy Williamson (above) said 

current situation to avoid costs 

having to be met by ratepayers. 

Rolleston Square director Lloyd 

Bathurst said he did not attend 

the meeting which was over road 

widening, kerb and channel, a 

footpath and cycleway. 

Mr Ward said discussions are 

continuing to take place between 

council and other parties involved 

about who is responsible and 

which will pay. 

“Roading engineers have commenced 

planning and design for 

the works. The work is planned to 

be completed by the end of 

February 2019,” he said. 

Rolleston Residents’ Association 

chairwoman Leonie MacLachlan 

said two weeks ago her personal 

view was that it needs to be sorted 

so it’s safe for everyone. 

a member of the public saw the 

man driving on Gerald St 

in Lincoln after drinking 

at a local bar and reported 

it to police. 

The man stopped 

himself and police 

processed him for 

drink driving shortly 

afterwards. 

Senior Constable Williamson 

said he the man was “clearly 

intoxicated” but he was “a little 

surprised” his breath alcohol 

reading was as high as it was. 

He said in spite of the 

crackdown, police have not 

seen as much of a drop in the 

number of drink drivers as 

they would like. 

“Drivers are still getting caught,” 

Senior Constable Williamson said. 

Masefield Drive discussions ongoing 

PATH TO NOWHERE: The district council and developers 

are still in discussions about who is responsible for this part of 

Rolleston’s Masefield Drive.

Group not aware of chairman’s role 

•From page 1 

Mr McKim’s role in the 

advisory group initially drew 

criticism from Weedons residents 

who were not aware of his 

involvement in the group. 

Mr McKim did not respond to 

repeated requests for comment. 

WRA committee member 

Simon Moore was initially 

concerned about Mr McKim 

not disclosing his role in the 

advisory group. 

After the meeting with Mr 

McKim, Mr Moore was satisfied 

with the chairman’s explanation 

that he was part of the advisory 

group as an individual. 

“Prior to [the Selwyn Times 

article], I had no idea that he was 

attending these meetings and as 

far as I am concerned if he was attending 

as an individual, that’s his 

business and I couldn’t care less, 

that’s his right,” Mr Moore said. 

“It is my firm understanding 

that the WRA totally opposes 

such a quarry, and the attendance 

of the chair at these meetings 

should in no way been seen 

as an endorsement of this foolish 

and reckless proposal. He went 

there as an individual,” he said. 

WRA secretary Gary Doyle 

said Mr McKim told residents 

he did not represent the WRA at 

the advisory group. 

CONCERNED: Weedons resident Simon Moore says the 

WRA chairman’s role on the Fulton Hogan community 

advisory group should not be viewed as local residents 

endorsing the quarry proposal. 

Mr Doyle criticised Fulton 

Hogan for saying the residents’ 

association engaged with the 

advisory group instead of just 

Mr McKim. 

“He went there as an individual 

but that doesn’t mean he is a 

representative,” Mr Doyle said. 

Mr Doyle also said at the last 

WRA meeting that Mr McKim 

and Mr Doyle both announced 

they would step down as chairman 

and secretary early next 

year. 

It was unrelated to the con-

troversy from the Fulton Hogan 

advisory group, Mr Doyle said. 

Since the controversy arose, 

Fulton Hogan South Island general 

manager Craig Stewart said 

at the first meeting the advisory 

group agreed how it functioned. 

“At this meeting, it was agreed 

that the members of the group 

participated as individuals and 

participation does not alter or 

limit their ability to participate 

in the resource consent process,” 

Mr Stewart said.

Nurse’s cancer battle 


“Almost immediately that day 

she (the doctor) was suspicious 

it was something sinister,” Mrs 

Philips said. 

Within hours tests confirmed 

the mother of three had 

parosteal osteosarcoma. 

Mrs Philips has spent the past 

11 years working as an oncology 

nurse at Christchurch Hospital 

in the ward and the outpatients 

area, where her duties included 

administering chemotherapy 

to patients. She was inspired to 

become a nurse because of the 

death of her 21-year-old brother, 

Dustin, from cancer. 

“It’s kind of unbelievable to 

think that this has happened 

again,” Mrs Philips said. 

She says the diagnosis “creates 

a lot more fear” because she has 

seen “the worst of the worst.” 

“It’s been really hard for me 

emotionally to stay positive,” Mrs 

Philips said. 

Her husband Andy is a selfemployed 

auto-electrician. She is 

worried about the impact cancer 

will have on their family. Their 

children are aged between threeyears-old 

and six months. 

“When your self-employed you 

don’t get holidays or sick pay so 

it’s very difficult for him to take 

time off,” she said. More than 

$4400 has been donated to Mrs 

Anna Philips with Isabella 

Philips through a Givealittle page 

set up by a group of her friends. 

Mrs Philips says she’s grateful 

for her work colleagues, friends 

and family who have been just 

“amazing.” 

The money raised through the 

Givealittle page will help relieve 

the family’s financial pressure, 

paying for child care and giving 

Mr Philips some time off to help 

out.

A PROPOSAL to add the former 

Brookside School building and 

the former Selwyn County 

Council clerk’s house to the 

heritage items list in the District 

Plan will be peer reviewed. 

The district council’s property 

committee discussed the proposal 

at its meeting recently. 

District council staff reviewed 

the schedule of buildings 

and structures proposed 

for listing as heritage 

items and have identified 

some concerns with the 

two buildings. 

These included the 

former Brookside School 

building, which is on 

Brookside and Burnham Rd in 

Brookside, being in a very poor 

state of repair, it being 

leased for equipment 

storage and council not 

budgeting any expenditure 

on it. 

The former school building 

was built sometime 

between 1869 and 1872.

on Bealey Rd in Hororata, was 

built in 1913. 

It requires significant work, 

estimated at $40,000, to bring 

it to a reasonable standard. The 

house has been considered for 

demolition or sale for removal. 

Committee chairman and district 

councillor Pat McEvedy (left) 

said the peer review will assess 

whether the buildings are “actually 

worthy of heritage status.” 

“Because there’s an expense 

that comes with it . . . we’ve got 

to assess what’s a good investment 

and what’s not and do they 

hold true heritage value,” he said. 

Cr McEvedy said he wasn’t 

sure when the peer review would 

take place as it would be matter 

of when the required person was 

available.

Police plan to identify 

stolen scooters and bikes 

FREE ENGRAVING services 

are being offered to Rolleston 

schoolchildren by police to help 

identify lost scooters and bicycles. 

The service is available at the 

Rolleston police station on Monday 

to Fridays from 8am to 4pm. 

Sergeant Alex Pickover said 

they get “a lot” of bicycles and 

scooters handed in to the police 

and previously there was no way 

of knowing who owned them. 

“We can engrave an identifying 

feature on the scooter or bicycle 

and that can be anything like 

mum or dad’s driver licence 

number, a cellphone number or 

an address,” he said. 

The engraver was donated to 

the Rolleston police station, Sergeant 

Pickover said. 

He said currently the service is 

only open to schoolchildren from 

Rolleston but that could change 

in “due course.” 

The police station is located at 

69 Tennyson St.

Quarry meeting didn’t put mind at ease 

Templeton 

resident 

Jolene Eagar 

has her say on 

the proposed 

quarry after 

visiting a 

recent Fulton 

Hogan information evening 

IF EMPLOYERS are responsible 

to support their staff against 

bullying, who is responsible to 

protect a community? 

There is a significant imbalance 

of power when you try to stand 

up against a company like Fulton 

Hogan. 

Many have tried unsuccessfully, 

with no, or very little support, 

from anyone not personally 

affected by resource consent 

applications. 

What an unfair and unequal 

process. 

No wonder Fulton Hogan is 

taking advantage of the opportunity, 

never mind it comes at the 

expense of a community. 

To say we have made our stance 

against the proposed quarry on 

Dawsons Rd clear from the beginning 

in January, when Fulton 

Hogan made the announcement, 

is an understatement. 

And I fully believe that had 

we not taken this public stance 

against the quarry, Fulton Hogan 

would not have spent all these 

months and money to try and 

mitigate the risks. 

Risks we don’t want mitigated, 

but rather eliminated. And what 

better way to eliminate than not 

have a quarry in the proposed 

location on Dawsons Rd at all. 

Beginning of 2018, my knowledge 

about quarry operations was 

non-existent. Apart from driving 

past that ugly mess in front of 

Christchurch Men’s Prison, I had 

no understanding about what 

goes on inside those fences. 

Boy did my life change. And 

it was not only my life that 

changed, a whole community had 

to try and get their heads around 

the technical aspects and dangers 

of quarries. Imagine us learning 

in a couple of months (while still 

managing work and family life) 

what the Fulton Hogan experts 

spent years studying. 

How do you compete against 

that? There is just no contest. 

I recently had the opportunity 

to meet some of the Fulton Hogan 

management team as well as 

their experts. 

What an eye-opener when one 

of the managers tried to explain 

an online dashboard to me by 

saying: “Data goes up into the 

cloud and then it comes back 

down again.” How patronising. 

Do they really think that they 

NO QUARRY: 

Residents have 

been fighting a 

long battle to 

stop a Fulton 

Hogan quarry 

being built near 

Templeton. 

are intellectually that superior to 

the Templeton residents? 

I asked the noise expert: 

“How much noise does a quarry 

make?” to which he immediately 

answered: “A lot,” just to tell me 

a few minutes later that I will be 

able to walk my dog right next to 

the proposed quarry and I will 

barely hear anything. 

Keeping in mind he was not 

referring to the 1000-plus trucks 

that will be driving up and down 

our roads. Apparently working 

in a 10m deep hole makes all the 

difference. 

I walked away having a better 

understanding of what 

Fulton Hogan is proposing but 

concerned about the conflicting 

information provided by different 

people. It seemed as if there is a 

lack of commitment at this stage 

still around certain decisions and 

they were keeping their options 

open. 

As an ‘affected person’ I was 

expecting a more decisive approach 

seeing that Fulton Hogan 

was there to give us information 

about their proposed plans. 

I understand the RMA process 

and that ongoing consultation and 

conditions will affect the outcome, 

but to expect us to just take their 

word that the best solutions will 

be followed is asking more than 

what I’m willing to give. 

It’s interesting how a meeting 

that, from their perspective, 

was supposed to put my mind 

at ease had the exact opposite 

effect. 

Suddenly it became all too 

real for me. Now I can picture 

to a certain extent what they are 

proposing and it’s worse than 

anything I imagined.

Sheffield Community 

Hall budget increasing 

and the project going 

through to the next 

stage 

After reading last week’s 

article about the Sheffield 

Community Hall repairs 

ballooning out to $600,000 

I can’t help but cringe. 

They talk about the 

community needing to 

think about what is the

numerous occasions I have 

requested the community 

be given options on cost, to 

us as individuals, on rates 

for a repair v rebuild, from 

both the committee and 

direct to Douglas Marshal 

nearly two years ago, I am 

yet to see anything. 

To me its a no-brainer 

that the hall be rebuilt, but 

down at the domain as a 

combined venture with the 

old sports pavilion, providing 

new efficient facilities to 

support all the local groups 

and associations that are 

going strong out here.

Sustainability key 

to organic farming 

SCHOOLS 

SELWYN TIMES 

There’s something for 

everyone in the realm of 

organic farming but as far 

as Bill Martin is concerned, 

it’s all about sustainability. 

The Training College 

Manager at Lincoln 

University’s Biological 

Husbandry Unit Organics 

Trust (BHU) is happy to see 

a surge in enthusiasm for 

organic food production 

as younger generations 

become more aware of 

environmental concerns. 

He says the growing 

popularity of organic 

production in recent years 

means that graduates are 

now taking what they have 

learned into a broader 

range of sectors. 

“It’s not just about 

growing, wholesaling 

and retailing food anymore. They’re 

going into schools and teaching primary 

and secondary schoolers about the 

importance of sustainable farming and 

gardening and really starting to embed the 

philosophy into the education system.” 

As far as conventional agricultural 

practices are concerned, he says farmers 

should be encouraged to optimise their 

production, rather than maximise it at the 

expense of the environment. 

“We need to change our agricultural 

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.” 

Mr Martin says those interested in a 

career in organics should enrol in the 

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production 

course, which is open to students either 

with or without university entrance. 

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga 

and Mahinga Kai components and can 

lead to employment in organic primary 

production or other sectors related 

to organics, especially education and 

hospitality. 

“The course offers a good grounding 

in the principles of organic agriculture, 

teaching the philosophies and histories 

of organics and providing practical 

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr 

Martin says. 

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic 

Agri-Food Production and begin studying 

in February 2019. 

AWARDS: Clearview Primary School’s year 1 to 4 open team won its division in 

the Jump Jam South Island regional competition last week weekend. The team 

also received five excellence and merit certificates. The school’s year 7 to 8 

open team placed fifth in its division. Other Selwyn schools also excelled in the 

contest, with Prebbleton School placing fourth in the year 7-8 novice category 

and second in the year 4-8 all boys category. Lincoln Primary School gained a 

first in the year 4 to 8 all-boys category, a fifth in the year 4 to 6 open and a fifth 

in the year 7 to 8 advanced open category. Leeston Consolidated School was 

fifth in the year 4 to 6 advanced open category. 

PERFORMANCE: Lincoln High School year 9 and 10 drama students are 

preparing for the show, A Christmas Carol. They will be performing David 

Holman’s interpretation of Charles Dickens’ novella which includes all the 

well-loved characters and while the play features ghosts, the emphasis is on 

family-friendly entertainment. Four shows will be performed on December 10, 

at 10am, 1pm, 6pm and 7.30pm. All profits from the shows will be donated to 

KidsCan. Tickets can be purchased online at www.trybooking.co.nz/nv for $5 

per ticket or email smc@lincoln.school.nz for block bookings of 10 or more at a 

discounted rate of $4 per ticket. •More schools, page 15 & 19 

Grow a career 

in organics 

Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare 

you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s 

a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind 

contemporary organic agri-food production. 

Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural 

scale really means.

Lincoln Club in its 50th year 

President’s long-time service to club 

Lynn Townsend has 

been re-elected 

president of the Lincoln 

Club as it enters its 50th 

year. Karen Pasco talks 

to him and looks back on 

the club’s history 

YOU COULD say volunteering 

is in Lynn Townsend’s blood. 

He has been involved with the 

Lincoln Club since it started out 

as the Ellesmere Country Club in 

1969, and his family’s association 

with Lincoln rugby spans about 

40 years. 

“My mother was heavily 

involved in the community 

centre back in the days of the old 

hall and my dad was involved 

with the RSA,” he said. 

So it comes as no surprise 

when, as a young man, his 

hand went up to help different 

organisations within the 

community. 

“I think that it was just all 

part of a community spirit back 

in those early days. It was a 

very small community. Most 

people knew everybody in 

Lincoln, so everybody had some 

involvement in something,” he 

said. 

“For me, it was the (Ellesmere 

Country) club and the rugby 

HELPING OUT: Lynn Townsend has been re-elected as Lincoln Club president and fits in his 

community duties around a successful seed producing and exporting business. 

club, for others it was the fire 

brigade or any other of the 

services and social activities – 

everybody chipped in and did 

their bit.” 

He joined the Ellesmere 

Country Club as a 23-year-old, 

and was then elected on to the 

committee. Half a century later, 

he is still there, but now it’s 

called the Lincoln Club. 

Between 1982 and 1986 he 

was president, was an advisory 

trustee in 1987 and was reelected 

president in 2003, a 

position he has held for the past 

15 years. 

He has seen the ups and downs 

that go hand-in-hand with clubs. 

There were great times in the 

club’s heyday in the 1970s and 

when the doors of The Famous 

Grouse “club in the pub” opened 

again after it was badly damaged 

in the September 4, 2010, 

earthquake. 

But he has also seen the tough 

times, like when the Ellesmere 

Country Club closed with debt 

and an uncertain future. 

“At times, it’s been a strain on 

the wife (Carol) and family a bit, 

but I’ve learned a lot through 

being involved. The people you 

meet and the type of business 

that it is, you learn things that 

you’re not going to learn in 

normal everyday life. It’s helped 

me with my own business, I 

believe. Still now, I don’t think I 

ever stop learning.” 

Mr Townsend is the founder, 

owner and director of Townsend 

Seeds International, which 

produces and supplies vegetable 

seeds, forage and pasture seeds 

internationally. 

He started out working for 

Pyne Gould Guinness about 40 

years ago in its seed division but 

got fed up with the corporate 

culture and constant meetings so 

founded his own company. 

“I decided that it was a more 

constructive way of doing 

business.” 

He is also the owner of the 

Hammer Hardware stores in 

Lincoln and Rolleston. Owning 

his own businesses has also given 

him the flexibility to spend time 

on his community duties. 

“It just means I have to work at 

night for a bit longer,” he says.

Turning tough times into success 

IT’S IRONIC the “club in the 

pub” is now housed in The 

Famous Grouse. It was 

actually a group of disgruntled 

regulars of that very pub who 

set up the Ellesmere Country 

Club (now Lincoln Club) back in 

1969. 

“A meeting was held to see 

if they could form a premise 

of their own. Somehow 

I was elected on to the 

committee,” says Lincoln Club 

president Lynn Townsend. 

Mr Townsend, who was 23 

at the time, vividly remembers 

there was angst at the very first 

meeting. 

“There was trouble . . . as 

to whether it would be a 

working men’s club or 

whether it would be mixed 

membership with women 

involved. Most of the clubs back 

in those days were working 

men’s, however, there was a 

movement starting for females 

to be involved so that was 

discussed,” he recalled. 

It eventually went to the 

vote and it was decided the 

organisation would be called 

the Ellesmere Country Club 

with women to be included as 

members. 

“At that point, a number of 

men walked away from the 

meeting,” he said. 

Membership fundraising saw 

them able to raise enough funds 

to buy the property on Millpond 

Lane – the land which currently 

houses the Lincoln Primary 

School junior campus. 

Then the task was set to raise 

funds to build their own club. 

Chocolate wheels were run at the 

Ellesmere A&P Show. Members 

also used the club’s land to grow 

potatoes and sell them. 

“We also took debentures from 

members,” Mr Townsend says. 

Eventually, there was enough

SELWYN TIMES 

Lincoln Club in its 50th year 

Sept 2010 quake: Time to act fast 


“We were turning people 

away,” said Mr Townsend. “It 

was very old-fashioned. We had 

a piano accordion band from the 

West Coast but we also had Billy 

T. James come regularly as well 

as The Drifters. When Billy T. 

James came, we used to run three 

nights in a row and fill the place 

every night.” 

The club was also the place 

where many families and friends 

celebrated significant occasions 

in their lives with birthdays and 

anniversaries regular bookings. 

There were also the famous raft 

races along the Liffey. 

At its height, the club had 1400 

members with a waiting list. 

The popularity of the club began 

to decline in the late 1980s and 

early 1990s. Mr Townsend puts it 

down to the “chicken coop syndrome” 

of the next generation. 

“It (the club) was built in the 

era of the labour booze bar. It was 

ideal for big crowds and entertainment. 

When it was a small 

group or small event there was 

no atmosphere. The younger generation 

wanted a more confined 

space but the design here didn’t 

allow for it.” 

As popularity dwindled and 

the membership slowly whittled 

away, the decision was made to 

close the club’s doors. In 2003 the 

100%

building was sold to the Selwyn 

District Council. 

“We went from having significant 

debt to having a similar 

amount in credit.” 

At the 2004 general meeting, 

the question was asked whether 

the club should be wound up. 

“The membership voted overwhelmingly 

they wanted it to 

continue, in the hope it would be 

resurrected in the future.” 

The club went into abeyance 

for five or six years but members 

continued to meet on Tuesday 

nights at the Lincoln Bowling 

Club, to keep the heart of it alive, 

Mr Townsend said. 

In early 2009 the lease of The 

Famous Grouse Hotel became 

available and “the club in the 

pub” was formed. The hotel is 100 

per cent owned by the Lincoln 

Club. 

In order for the pub to succeed, 

the committee knew it had a 

responsibility to run the business 

commercially and professionally 

for both club members and the 

public. 

The club took out a took a loan 

and spent $100,000 to renovate 

$1,000 FullY 

ReFunDable 

DeposIt 

The Famous Grouse. 

But 18 months after the alterations 

were complete, the September 

4, 2010, earthquake struck. 

The William St-side chimney 

collapsed and after standing for 

125 years and the main building 

was condemned. 

Mr Townsend, who was president 

at the time, decided the club 

had to act fast. 

“The thing I learnt about in 

the earthquake situation was the 

business interruption insurance, 

which we fortunately had, was 

only for 12 months. I knew if 

we didn’t get operational again 

within 12 months we were going 

to be out on a limb.” 

So in collaboration with the 

property owner and the insurance 

company, they set to work. 

Mr Townsend’s brother, Peter, 

was the architect and a new Famous 

Grouse was designed. 

The club continued to operate 

out of the back building, a later 

addition, with the doors opening 

to the brand new pub and accommodation 

in March 2012. 

Now as 2018 draws to a close 

the club is operating the pub 

successfully with manager Will 

Stock overseeing the day-to-day 

running. 

The club, which has about 600 

members, has recently bought the 

land behind the garden bar on 

William St with plans for future 

development. 

“We bought the land because 

we see it is a strategic intervention 

that gives us some say on 

how things are developed around 

the hotel,” said Mr Townsend. 

There are Tuesday night 

club gatherings, and other 

events throughout the year for 

members. Members also get 

discounted drinks.

Backyard Critters 

Dragonfly pays a visit 

Mike Bowie is 

an ecologist 

who specialises 

in entomology 

(insects 

and other 

invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces a 

new species found in 

his backyard at Lincoln. 

His column aims to raise 

public awareness of 

biodiversity, the variety 

of living things around 

us. Check out the full list

TWO WEEKS ago we had an 

unexpected visitor. A beautiful 

blue spotted dragonfly dropped 

in for an hour or so. 

Not knowing its identity, I 

snapped a photo and put it on to 

iNaturalist.org and instantly it 

identified it as the blue spotted 

hawker or lancer dragonfly, 

adversaeschna brevistyla. 

It is a large dragonfly, 56- 

59mm long, with a wingspan 

of 90mm, and it is found in

Norfork Island and some Pacific 

Islands. Mature males have

bright blue eyes, while females 

and immature males have 

greenish eyes. 

They prefer slow moving 

streams, pools or larger ponds, 

but being a strong flier, they can 

be found a long way from water 

where they perch on vegetation, 

fences or houses. Adults emerge 

in October-February. 

Females lay cigar-shaped eggs, 

1.3-1.5mm long on large sedges, 

raupo or floating debris. Mature 

larvae are large, 35-39mm long, 

and females can be distinguished 

by their ovipositor, or egg-laying 

appendage. 

In Auckland, the life 

cycle takes two and sometimes 

three years, so development 

may be slower in southern 

locations. 

Both larvae and adults are 

predatory.

A TRIO of Lincoln footballers 

have returned home with bronze

Masters Games on the Gold 

Coast. 

Gillian Wilson, Rhonda 

Jacques and Amanda Smith 

were part of the Waikato 

Pioneers team that competed in 

the division one women’s 40 and 

over tournament. 

The team largely consisted of 

former Waikato players. Wilson 

and Jacques were both part of 

the Waikato team that won 

back-to-back national titles in 

the early 1990s. 

The team had a reunion three 

years ago and planned to reunite

BRONZE: 

A trio of 

Lincoln 

footballers 

helped the 

Waikato 

Pioneers to 

third at the 

Pan Pacific 

Masters 

Games. 

Lincoln football masters 

take out bronze medals 

to compete on the Gold Coast. 

Wilson and Jacques recruited 

Smith to the team, which also 

consisted of two Australian 

players. 

The Pioneers had three wins 

and three losses in group play, 

finishing fourth and setting up 

a bronze medal match with the 

Tassie Strikers. 

After losing 0-1 to the Strikers 

in group play, the Pioneers 

turned the tables to take bronze 

1-0. 

One of the biggest challenges 

for the team came in the form 

of temperatures around 30 deg 

C each day and 80 per cent 

humidity. “We’re just now 

used to those conditions . . . we 

surpassed anything we expected 

because the competition was 

really tough with a lot of former 

Australia players,” said Wilson.

Darfield High athlete 

breaks 33-year-old record 

• By Louis Day 

A DARFIELD High School 

student has broken a 33-year-old 

Canterbury high jump record. 

Jody McCarthy-Dempsey, 11, 

jumped 1.48m – 1cm higher than 

the previous grade 11 girls record 

set by Kay Nelson in 1985. 

It is the third Canterbury 

record held by 

Jody. She also 

holds the year 

7 girls discus 

record with a 

throw of 16.74m 

and year 7 girls 

shot put with a 

throw of 7.7m. 

Jody 

McCarthy- 

Dempsey 

Jody said 

she enjoys all 

athletic events, 

except long 

distance and was interested in 

possibly becoming a decathlete in 

the future. 

Jody’s high jump coach Brian 

Cowan said her application and 

attitude is what sets her apart 

from others. 

“A lot of kids put limits on 

themselves, and I think Jody, she 

wasn’t at all awed by what she 

was doing. She knew exactly what 

she was doing, she knew she was 

going for a record and she made 

the call to put it above the record 

herself.” 

TRIPLE: Jody McCarthy-Dempsey breaking the Canterbury high 

jump grade 11 girls record set by Kay Nelson in 1985. 

Cowan has been coaching 

high jump since 1981, and 

coached Glenn Howard who 

competed in the 2000 Olympics 

in Sydney. 

Howard still holds the New 

Zealand men’s high jump record 

of 2.3m, as well as records at the 

under-20, under-19, under-18 and 

under-17 levels. 

Cowan sees similarities 

between Jody and Howard. 

“I guess they both had that 

application and willingness to 

listen.” 

Cowan said the sky is the limit 

for Jody and there is no reason 

she could not achieve the same 

feats as Howard. 

“Everybody in my eyes has 

that potential. However, people 

like Jody and Glenn have the 

application and ability to listen to 

actually get there.” 

PREBBLETON School’s Lucia 

Gale has defended her singles 

title at the Canterbury primary 

and intermediate schools 

championships in commanding 

fashion. 

Lucia dropped just one game 

on her way to winning the year 

six and under girls singles title at 

Wilding Park on Saturday. 

The No 1 seed received a first 

round bye before winning her 

quarter-final against Alex Wylie 

4-0, 4-0 and semi-final against 

Lily McHarg 4-0, 4-0. In the 

final, she defeated No 3 seed 

Ruby McPhail 4-1, 4-0. 

Lucia and Ruby also teamed 

up to win the doubles title. They 

defeated Dasha Sanina and Lila 

Waghorn 4-1, 4-0 in their first 

match to set up a final with No 2 

seeds Nishitha Maarka and Alex 

Wylie. Lucia and Ruby won the 

match 4-2, 5-3. 

Lucia will now look to win 

the South Island primary and

Selwyn Times 

Think water sense 

this summer 

Forecasters are expecting a hot and dry summer over the coming months, meaning it’s time to 

start thinking about how we use our water in Selwyn. 

Meteorologists believe it is highly likely Canterbury will have a drier than average summer. 

Weather patterns over the last few months have been varied, with hot and windy days being 

interrupted by significant rain. 

The Council’s Asset Manager Murray Washington says at the moment water demand is 

manageable. 

“However, water supplies are placed under pressure during summer as many people decide to 

water their lawns and gardens at the same time.” 

Water demand peaks between 6–9am and 4–9pm. 

The Council is recommending that residents limit garden and lawn watering to after 9pm, to keep 

it away from peak usage times and ensure the sun doesn’t quickly evaporate the used water. 

If you are considering watering your lawn during the day, it is best to check the conditions and 

make sure that it won’t be too hot or windy when you do it, which would reduce the effectiveness 

of the water use. 

With volumetric charging for water use, consumers are reminded that wasting water can also hit 

them in the back pocket. 

Mr Washington affirms that with everyone playing their part, we will be able to provide water at a 

good pressure all summer long. 

New Kiwis celebrate citizenship in Selwyn 

Chasing new partners, education opportunities and escaping less than favorable living conditions 

were the main themes for the 24 new kiwis sworn in at the latest Citizenship Ceremony held at Selwyn 

District Council. 

The new citizens hail from 14 different countries, continuing to increase the diversity of Selwyn’s 

population. The majority (21) of them are now based in Selwyn Central, but there was also a smattering 

from Springs (2) and Ellesmere (1). 

The ceremony was a colourful event with numerous new citizens sporting traditional dress from their 

native countries. 

Harpreet Singh of Southbridge says the event was a hugely enjoyable evening, for a man who spends 

his days looking after New Zealanders and helping them relax. Mr Singh has lived the kiwi dream since 

arriving, although it wasn’t as straight forward as he had hoped. 

“I turned up to study at Avonmore, but no one was at the airport to pick me up,” he says. 

“Then things got really confusing when airport staff told me that it was daylight saving, and the clocks 

had gone back an hour, we don’t have that in India.” 

But since arriving in New Zealand, Mr Singh has made every post a winner. “When I finished studying, I 

took up an opportunity with Dominos and saved up for my own business.” 

At that point the affable Indian knew hospitality was the career for him, and he leased the Southbridge Tavern. 

“I just love being a part of the community, it gives me a great chance to work with the people I live 

alongside.” He has since gone on to lease two more pubs, one in Rakaia and the other in Christchurch, 

but for the time being Southbridge is home and he is happy there. 

Citizenship ceremonies are held monthly at the Council Chambers in Rolleston. 

Less speed, less harm 

Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for travelling, 

socialising and enjoying what our country has to offer, but care still 

needs to be taken on our roads. 

We often hear safety messages throughout winter about driving to 

the conditions, watching for frost and being careful in the rain; but 

the arrival of summer can lull us into a false sense of security. 

Warm days, hot sun and not a car on the road can make some 

drivers feel invincible. 

Statistics from the NZ Transport Agency show summer is our 

highest risk period for speed-related crashes. 

Selwyn District Council Road Safety Coordinator Peter Daly 

says there’s a simple message for summer driving — less speed, 

less harm. 

“People make mistakes on the road, and the best way to decrease 

the risk of those mistakes is to decrease the speed at which those 

mistakes happen.” 

Mr Daly says Canterbury is particularly susceptible to drivers 

speeding due to the number of long straight stretches of highway, 

and we can easily end up speeding – every driver needs to take 

responsibility for their journey and the speed they are doing. 

It is also important to show patience while driving long distances. 

Being stuck behind a truck or a slow driver may be frustrating, 

but you’re better off waiting than attempting a dangerous 

passing manoeuvre.

Motoring 

• By Ross Kiddie 

VEHICLE SALES figures in the 

last three months show a definite 

trend towards smaller vehicles 

and those with small fuel efficient 

engines. That’s no surprise, rising 

fuel costs always have an effect on 

what we choose to buy. 

It’s no surprise either that 

Mercedes-Benz have joined the 

revolution towards fuel efficiency. 

That’s been a long-term programme 

from this high profile 

German luxury car maker, but it 

seems even more relevant today 

that the company’s most successful 

model is now available in 

hybrid form here. 

Well, let’s get this straight, the 

Merc C200 isn’t your traditional 

hybrid, it doesn’t have an electric 

motor helping provide drive 

alongside an internal combustion 

engine. 

The C200 is classed as a mild 

hybrid and, put simply, it has a 

turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder 

engine that provides drive to 

the rear wheels. Where the hybrid 

element comes in is through a 

48v electrical network named EQ 

Boost, it adds around 10kW of 

stored energy distributed at the 

point where the turbocharger is 

working up to full boost on acceleration, 

that helps the engine 

reach its optimum rev pattern 

quickly through the nine-speed 

MERCEDES-BENZ C200: Motorsport-inspired technology. 

gearshift process. There are also 

fuel saving and gliding modes 

which recuperates electrical 

energy. 

In effect, you don’t know any 

of this is taking place, there are 

no special techniques needed 

to drive the new C200, it is still 

traditional in most aspects. 

The C200 joins a heavily upgraded 

model line-up for 2019. 

While the exterior shape hasn’t 

been altered greatly, there are a 

lot of enhancements inside the 

car and an increased amount of 

technology for safety, as well as 

comfort and convenience. Column 

space doesn’t allow for comprehensive 

detailing, but the most 

visual change is the new display 

graphics – fully digitised. It can 

be configured into three different 

themes, classic, sport and progressive. 

They work beside a raft 

of varying drive modes which the 

driver can select at will depending 

upon the type of journey, driving 

style and road configurations. 

The C200 is a clever car, and 

if you are thinking in the first 

instance that just 1497cc doesn’t 

seem enough, you had better 

think again, the engine is rated 

with 135kW and 280Nm, and 

it is one of the smoothest fourpot 

drivelines you’ll ever get to 

encounter. 

A lot of that is to do with the areas 

where power is developed. As 

mentioned, the EQ Boost system 

fills in the gaps where power is 

building up, and with peak power 

arriving at just 5800rpm, and 

maximum torque spreading from 

3000rpm to 4000rpm, there is no 

point where request to throttle 

• Price – Mercedes-Benz 

C200, $73,900 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4686mm; width, 

1810mm; height, 1430mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

rear-wheel-drive, 

1497cc, 135kW, 280Nm, 

nine-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.7sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.4l/100km 

pressure doesn’t arrive. 

Acceleration is strong, and 

you would expect that from 

Mercedes-Benz. It claims a 7.7sec 

standstill to 100km/h time, and 

an 80km/h to 120km/h time of 

6sec is also achievable. The C- 

Class in this form isn’t blisteringly 

fast, but it is quick enough, and it 

gobbles up highway kilometres effortlessly; 

its balance and poise is 

remarkable, and as you drive you 

feel so much part of the car. 

It also has remarkable fuel usage 

figures. Mercedes-Benz claims 

a 6.4-litre per 100km (44mpg) 

combined cycle figure; the test 

car constantly listed close to that, 

and at 100km/h the trip computer 

readout sits around 4l/100km 

(70mpg) with the engine turning 

over at just 1500rpm in top gear. 

If you analyse the technical 

aspects of these figures and

combine them with the brilliance 

of the vehicle as a whole, the 

C-Class is a seriously special car. 

Well, at the price it has to be, the 

C200 sedan lists at $73,900 and 

the evaluation car was carrying 

around $5000 of extras. Take into 

account you can get this driveline 

in an estate (station wagon), 

which adds $3000. 

Rear-wheel-drive always signifies 

an involving driving experience, 

and the C200 is true to that. 

There is a secure feel to the road 

and that, along with steering that 

is decisive, adds to accuracy when 

presented with a quick corner or 

two. 

I took the evaluation car on 

a route running parallel to the 

Selwyn River. There aren’t a lot of 

corners on those roads but there 

are a few tricky sections which 

I’ve tracked down over the years. 

The C200 enjoys the twists and 

challenges, it feels taut and firmly 

planted. 

Another year rolls around 

and the Mercedes-Benz motorsport 

team has clinched both 

the formula one driver’s and 

manufacturer’s title. The formula 

one car uses hybrid technology 

not dissimilar to how the hybrid 

system works in the C200. It’s 

that technology trickling down 

though motorsport that makes 

many of the cars we drive today 

so special.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Subdividing with 

the professionals 

Subdividing can be a very 

effective means of maximising 

the value of a property. 

Survus Consultants are surveyors, 

planners and engineers with all the 

necessary expertise to advise on the 

specialist issue of subdivision. 

What exactly is a subdivision? It is the 

term for splitting a piece of land into 

individual allotments. Subdivisions 

can be as basic as a two lot residential 

development where homeowners 

are wanting to subdivide a section to 

downsize their property. Or it can be 

as complex as a 300+ lot development, 

which Survus Consultants has seen a 

number of in Christchurch since the 

2010/2011 earthquake series. 

There can also be rural lifestyle 

developments, farm boundary 

adjustments, unit title or change of tenure 

subdivision. 

Survus Consultants contract manager 

Craig Hurford says, “No matter the size 

of the subdivision or its location - in the 

city or in the country – we have a clear 

message – come and see us early on in 

the process. We have been involved with 

subdivisions since 1957, so I think we can 

say we are pretty knowledgeable about 

what is required and what the potential 

pitfalls and issues are.” 

Every subdivision is unique - no one 

methodology fits all, often because of 

the criteria specified in the relevant 

local Council’s district plan. Under the 

Resource Management Act each Council 

developed its own plan with different 

subdivision rules. We have the expertise 

to apply the rules to a particular property 

to optimise the potential, while keeping in 

mind the importance of good sustainable 

development. 

“Using a professional is critical,” 

says Craig, “There are lot of additional 

requirements that we can advise on 

and provide services for such as HAIL 

(Hazardous Activities and Industries 

List) Report for instance, or geo-technical 

and engineering reports. All of these can 

affect the cost of the proposed subdivision 

or the length of time it will take to 

complete.” 

Survus offer a free onsite consultation 

and fee proposal for subdivisions 

anywhere in Canterbury. “We then work 

through the project from beginning to 

end starting with the bare block of land, 

applying for all necessary consents, 

completing the land transfer process 

and project managing the development 

until the subdivision is complete. We 

aim to make the whole process as easy as 

possible for our clients.”

Hurford on 0508 787 887.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Hill country development risks 

and opportunities highlighted 

Extensive studies commissioned as part 

of the Sustainable Hill Farming Tool project 

have found that farmers are increasingly 

using hill country forage crops and pastures 

to finish stock, and that the increased 

erosion risk is being partly mitigated by 

farming practices. 

However, the studies, and an extensive 

literature search, also found that some 

farmers had difficulty assessing the potential 

environmental impact and the financial 

return of hill country development, due to 

the unpredictability of sediment loss and 

the ongoing costs often required. 

The Sustainable Hill Farming Tool 

(SHiFT) project seeks to determine ways 

to provide landowners with information 

about the best ways to address these 

concerns, says Environment Canterbury’s 

zone delivery manager Paul Hulse. 

“The project team commissioned 

three related studies to gain a clearer 

understanding of farmers’ hill country 

development practices,” he says. 

“Initial interviews were held with 150 

hill country farmers in Canterbury and the 

Manawatu, and followed up by in-depth 

interviews with 16 farmers, advisors and 

helicopter pilots focusing on the use of 

helicopters for developing hill country land. 

At the same time, AgResearch prepared a 

report collating relevant research about the 

environmental impacts of forage cropping 

in hill country.” 

Paul Hulse says that the findings will be 

used to help develop a free advisory tool for 

farmers and advisors. 

“Environment Canterbury recognises 

that forage crops are an important part of 

our farming systems. However, it needs to 

be managed in such a way that sediment 

does not enter waterways. We’re expecting 

the tool to identify high and low risk 

areas on a property, estimate the potential 

sediment losses, and provide a reference 

guide to select effective management 

practices and mitigation measures so that 

sediment losses to waterways and estuaries 

can be minimised.” 

A growing awareness 

Farm consultant Dave Lucock of The 

Agribusiness Group and a member of the 

Steering Committee assisting the SHiFT 

project team to develop the new tool, 

says farmers need to be aware of the risks 

associated with any development on hill 

country, and plan to avoid or mitigate those 

risks. 

“It is no longer acceptable to have large 

quantities of sediment flowing from poorly 

managed winterfeed paddocks. However, 

this research demonstrates that only 

slightly more than half of farmers consider 

sediment loss factors before developing 

their hill country pasture,” he says. 

“Today, we’re operating under 

environmental farming limits, and most 

farmers have a Farm Environment Plan. 

We expect that this tool will help farmers 

through the hill country development 

process so that they get the best results 

for both their farm business and the local 

environment.” 

Development of the Sustainable Hill 

Farming Tool will be informed by the 

farmer survey, as well as the AgResearch 

review of research into soil losses from 

grazed forage crops.

Gardening 

Local 

News 

Now 


Use compost to ensure continuous flowering 

NOVEMBER IS one of the 

most enjoyable months to 

spend in the garden, with 

abundant growth everywhere. 

That means there are 

plenty of tasks to keep 

gardeners busy. 

Vege garden 

All summer vegetables 

should have been planted 

by now, including beans, 

beetroot, cabbage, celery, 

corn, cucumber, courgettes, 

lettuce, peas, pumpkin, radish, 

spring onions, spinach, 

tomatoes, silver beet and 

zucchini. 

Stagger plantings to 

extend the time for harvesting 

and keep developing 

vegetables well-watered 

without over-watering. 

Apply side dressings of vegetable 

fertiliser, especially 

to gross feeders like sweet 

corn. Add a layer of mulch 

or pea straw to help water 

retention and reduce the 

infestation of weeds. 

On tomato plants, there 

are laterals which are 

shoots that appear between 

the junction of a leaf and 

the stem. You want to create 

a strong tomato plant 

with a good structure, so 

remove laterals from the 

stems up to at least 1m 

from the ground and keep 

removing them regularly 

until the plant is around 

1.3-1.4m tall. Use sharp secateurs 

and ensure they are 

clean before you start. Be 

sure to stake your tomato 

plants well. 

Herb garden 

New season herbs should 

be planted by early November 

including frost-tender 

basil. Remember that herbs 

grow best in fine, welldrained 

soil in a full-sun 

site. They will struggle to 

grow in heavy clay soils or 

in shady parts of the garden. 

Summer annuals 

Summer flowering 

annuals should be in 

vigorous growth by now. 

This includes alyssum, 

ageratum, aster, candytuft, 

cornflower, cosmos, 

marigold, nemesia, phlox, 

portulaca, petunias, salvias, 

strawflower and zinnias. 

The key to continuous 

flowering over summer is 

through good preparation 

with the addition of 

compost to the existing 

soil before planting. 

Dead heading (removal 

of finished flowers) helps 

promote continuous 

flowering throughout 

the season. Water plants 

regularly, especially when 

young seedlings are first 

planted. 

Fruit trees 

Fruit trees are in full 

growth mode, so apply a 

side dressing of fruit tree 

fertiliser, especially to 

young trees. Irrigate newly 

planted trees deeply to help 

establish a strong, sturdy 

root system and mulch to 

reduce water loss. 

Containers 

With home gardens 

reducing in size, container 

gardening is even more 

popular. Multifunctional, 

they can be used for growing 

herbs, mini-veges, or 

provide a splash of colour 

when planted with summer 

annuals. Always use 

fresh container mix when 

planting. 

MULTIFUNCTIONAL: Container gardening is popular. Keep your blooms well 

nourished. 

Juicy Lemons 

need plenty of water 

To ensure you have enough juicy lemons, keep 

the water up to your plants while they are in 

flower now. Dry lemons are directly related to 

lack of water as the crop develops over summer. 

A layer of mulch works wonders, apply mulch 

after watering the soil. A top up of fertiliser will 

do them wonders as well. 

Preparing for the dry season 

If you haven’t already got bark on your garden, add a layer of 

organic compost now, and mix it through your existing soil. Keep 

the watering up over the next few weeks, then look to add 

your bark mulch before the heat really fires up. If you have got 

a thin layer of bark, try and boost it up to a good 10cm as this 

will help get the best results. If you have already added your 

bark – well done! You will need to keep the watering up now 

to stay ahead of the game. Water is essential for healthy plant 

growth and development. Establish a good watering routine, 

ensuring you give your plants a good deep soak every few days 

rather than a light sprinkling every day. Weeding isn’t exactly 

the most enjoyable part of gardening, but skipping out of doing 

it is going to be costly for your plants. Not only do they look 

unsightly, they take up a lot of nutrients and water that your 

plants need, as well as fight for space. Dedicate time to remove 

them as soon as they pop up, it will seem less of a task if you 

do it that way rather than letting them build up over a month 

or more. 

SAFER ACCESS TO INTELLIGRO 

Heading north on Main South Road you will use the 

Weedons Ross Road off ramp. Manion Road is just before 

the railway lines on the left-hand side. 

If you are heading south along Main South Road, then turn right into Curraghs 

Road, and Manion Road is on your left just before the railway line. You cannot

Mound em up! 

Potatoes will need to have the soil mounded up around the 

tops of the rows now. This helps to encourage a larger crop. 

Early spuds like Swift and Rocket may be ready for harvest. 

Once the crop flowers and the stems begin to wither it 

indicates the crop is ready. Potatoes require plenty of water as 

the crop begins to develop, and fertiliser to help them develop.

HOME PROFESSIONALS 

SELWYN TIMES 

A new pool an appealing 

prospect for homeowners 

Now that the weather is warming up, for many homeowners the idea of 

having a pool in the back garden seems very appealing. This is the busiest 

time for installing pools before Christmas, but there is still plenty of time 

to get things underway for the first few months of the New Year. 

As Julie Hastings of Lagoon Pools points out, “We have been enjoying 

longer swimming months for a number of years and people are still 

swimming up to the end of April.” 

It is also a great idea to have the pool installed mid-year, so there is 

no rush and it will be ready as soon as the warm weather hits, Julie says. 

“We are encouraging customers to order a pool installation out of 

season and offering special deals for them to do that.” 

Lagoon Pools install pools in sizes to suit both large and small sections, 

and they range from three metres to 12 metres in length, and in various 

widths. 

“While large pools are great for bigger spaces, small pools in smaller 

spaces can still be used for exercise and relaxation,” Julie says. 

Additional features, such as pool lighting and fountains can enhance 

the pool area, transforming it into an extended living space where family 

and friends can relax in the outdoors, she says. 

A pool takes around five days to install, and the finishing touches 

can take four to eight weeks, depending on the design. Not only does 

Lagoon Pools install the pool, they can offer the complete package with 

the additional features included. 

“It is always very satisfying to see a project through from concept to 

finish, turning a vision into a reality for our customers,” Julie says. 

To enquire about pool installation and the out-of-season offers, 

contact Lagoon Pools, phone 0800 927 282 or 349 2160. For more 

information on their range of pools and other features, visit the 

website, lagoonpools.co.nz.

Time to check your 

water supply 

Now that the weather is warming up, it 

is a good time to check your water supply

family five to six weeks’ back-up water 

storage.”

pads to meet manufacturer specifications, 

and new pumps fitted to tanks for water 

supply to a house or wherever required. 

They have the latest variable speed 

pressure system for boosting water supply,

such as PH neutralisers, water softeners, 

UV and reverse osmosis.

manufacturing, installing, maintaining and 

repairing pumps and filters, sorting out any 

part of your water system, or providing a 

turnkey package that includes drilling

house pumps. They also test water and

systems.

Local company builds homes – 

and communities 

For anyone in the market for a brandnew 

home, building company Generation 

Homes is offering house and land packages 

across several desirable subdivisions on the 

outskirts of Christchurch. 

These are Branthwaite and East Maddison 

Estate in Rolleston, and Copper Ridge and 

Halswell Commons in Halswell. One of 

the new subdivisions close to the Rolleston 

town centre, Branthwaite has everything 

Rolleston and the Selwyn District have 

to offer right on the doorstep, including 

Rolleston College, the Aquatic Centre and 

sports fields. 

The closest subdivision to Christchurch 

city, Halswell Commons is to be 

characterised by Homestar-rated homes, 

green spaces and views to the Port 

Hills, while Copper Ridge will focus on 

community and family, with a new primary 

school, and skate and bike park. 

Offering dozens of floor plans in a 

range of sizes and designs, Generation 

Homes caters for all budget and family size 

requirements, with the flexibility to change 

any of the plans to suit individual clients’ 

needs. Pricing will 

depend on factors 

such as location 

and size of the 

site, with the sales 

consultants happy 

to talk through the 

options with clients 

so they make the 

right choice. 

But it’s not just 

about bricks and 

mortar. As company 

spokesperson 

Nadja Beker points 

out, a home and 

a community are 

more than that, 

they are safe havens 

where people look 

out for each other, where there are spaces 

for children to play, and where residents 

can meet up and feel at home. 

“At Generation Homes we offer exactly 

that – we love building communities,” she 

says. 

“We also believe in leading by example, 

with no hidden costs and no nasty surprises. 

And we treat our customers, suppliers and 

subcontractors the way we would want to 

be treated.” 

The sales consultants stay in touch with 

their clients throughout the build process, 

reminding them of the various steps and 

milestones, Nadja says. 

“Our construction manager also meets 

every client and discusses the construction 

process with them, as well as talking them 

through their build schedule and answering 

any questions. 

“Handing over a new home is a personal 

experience and every single handover is 

special.” 

Generations Homes doesn’t just look 

after the construction of the homes. They 

have the services of interior designer Mark 

Evans of Indigo Designers, who undertakes 

a complete colour consultation with every 

client, ensuring the décor of their new home 

matches their personality and lifestyle. 

For all those considering having a new 

home built, Generation Homes has a brandnew 

show home opening in Branthwaite on 

Saturday, November 24 from 2pm-4pm. 

Located at 2 Reuben Drive, Rolleston, 

the home features a contemporary colour

Irrigation vital in 

hot, dry weather 

SELWYN TIMES 

Rolleston College students 

working on their garden. 

With the Met service forecasting a long, hot 

summer for Canterbury, homeowners will 

want to make full use of their outdoor areas 

to entertain family and friends, so having 

lawns and gardens in tip-top condition will 

be a priority. 

Phil Hudson of Freeman Irrigation 

advises that now is the best time to have 

maintenance work done on irrigation 

systems so they are in good working order to 

meet summer demand. This will also prevent 

the inconvenience and additional costs of 

having landscaping repaired if problems are 

discovered and need fixing during summer. 

“Some irrigation system problems are 

easily fixed, but they have to be identified 

to be repaired,” Phil says, “so now is the 

ideal time to book in for maintenance and 

servicing.” 

The most important part of keeping an 

irrigation system in good working order is 

having regular maintenance done on the 

sprays, rotors and solenoid valves, Phil says. 

Some of the basic problems commonly 

encountered are: 

- Clogged sprinklers 

- Leaking sprinklers and valves 

- Obstructed sprinklers 

- Leaking/blocked solenoid valves 

- Overspray onto footpaths, streets or 

buildings 

- Design problems 

- Missing nozzles 

- Pipe leaks or breaks 

Smart controls for irrigation systems 

are convenient for homeowners, and many 

people have been asking about those, Phil 

says. 

“We have a range of smartphone controllers 

and rain sensors that can be fitted to most 

systems, allowing you to have easy control 

from anywhere. 

“Also, if you wish to save money and 

conserve water, a good rain sensor is an 

affordable solution. We can supply and fit the 

Wireless Rain-Clik Sensor that automatically 

shuts off your sprinkler system, so you don’t 

have to worry if you are away from home 

when it rains.” 

As well as playing a key role in the local 

economy, Phil also supports the community. 

He has recently donated and installed an 

irrigation system at Rolleston College, where 

the students are developing a vegetable 

and fruit tree garden, with the focus on 

sustainability. 

The Cancer Society has also had an 

irrigation system installed in the grounds 

of its new Rolleston building, courtesy of 

Freeman Irrigation.

Security 

over summer 

Lock your vehicle 

when left outside. 

Even when at home, it pays to be mindful that not everyone 

roving the neighbourhood has honest intentions. 

The last thing we need when arriving 

back from a summer holiday is to find our 

home has been broken into. The thought of 

someone entering uninvited is concerning 

enough in itself. Losing precious possessions 

and those with special meaning, especially 

where they hold irreplaceable memories, 

is sufficient reason to take and secure our 

homes while away. 

The inconvenience of having our 

belongings taken from our motor vehicles 

not to mention being without wheels if our 

car is stolen, is another reason for being 

security minded. 

Here are a few reminders of ways 

you can increase your security. 

Your home: 

• Always lock your house when going out. 

• If you have a house alarm, use it. Do not 

share the main code with anyone else. Set 

up a separate code for your teenagers so 

it can be changed from time to time and 

a temporary code for guests. 

A lockable 

security 

door could 

be fitted. 

• Lock all firearms away in a secure place, 

keeping the key where it cannot easily be 

accessed. 

• Lock away garden tools as they may be 

used by a would-be thief for breaking 

into your home. 

• Keep your garage door shut when you are 

in other parts of the house. 

• Never leave windows open when sleeping, 

if they might be easily accessed. 

• Shut windows accessible from the street, 

when elsewhere in the home. 

• Lock the front door when working in your 

back garden and even when inside. If 

wanting to open this door for ventilation, 

a lockable security door might be fitted. 

Your motor vehicle: 

• Lock your vehicle whenever you leave it, 

even when it is parked up your driveway. 

• Never leave your keys in your vehicles 

when it is parked in your driveway or 

garage. 

• Avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle. 

If you must, hide them out of sight 

preferably in the boot. 

When going on holiday: 

• Ensure all windows and doors are secure 

before heading away. 

• Organise a neighbour, friend or family 

member to collect your mail and check 

your property is okay. 

• If you do not have an automated 

irrigation system, ask someone to turn 

your sprinkler on when the plants 

Not everyone roving your 

neighbourhood has honest 

intentions. 

need pepping up. It will give 

the impression that someone is 

home. 

• If away longer than a week, 

organise for your front lawn to be 

mowed. 

• Ensure your pool is secure with 

no easy access. 

While locking the door and 

setting the alarm may seem like a 

hassle, especially if just popping 

down the road, it helps ensure our 

home and possessions are safe. This 

simple act may save the heartache 

of finding your privacy has been 

invaded and with it precious or 

even just handy items stolen.

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.

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen 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

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.”

Navigating the 

multi-offer process 

Whether you’re buying or selling a 

property it’s a good idea to learn as much 

as you can about the different methods 

used in New Zealand. One that confuses 

a lot of people is the multi-offer process, 

where all interested prospective buyers are 

encouraged to submit their best offer and 

the seller can choose whichever one looks 

most attractive. 

“This process is designed to give all 

potential buyers an equal shot,” explains 

Real Estate Authority chief executive Kevin 

Lampen-Smith. 

“The process is not like an auction where 

an agreement is automatically formed with 

a successful bidder. The seller is not obliged 

or required to accept any particular offer 

in this situation; they may accept one offer, 

reject all offers, or choose to negotiate 

further with one particular party.” 

The actual form that a multi-offer process 

takes can differ from agency to agency – it’s 

not defined in law or set by the Real Estate 

Authority (REA). 

A multi-offer process can only be 

described as such when there is more than 

one offer in writing – a real estate agent 

is not allowed to pretend that there are 

genuine competing offers if they do not 

exist. 

“Agents are expected to clearly explain the 

process and any relevant paperwork to all 

prospective buyers and sellers,” Lampen- 

Smith says. 

“If you’re unsure about anything, ask 

the agent to clarify it or seek advice from 

your lawyer. It’s far better to do this at 

the beginning than face confusion and 

disappointment further down the track.” 

All the offers are presented fairly in this 

process and a real estate agent must not 

favour one over another. 

All prospective buyers should know that 

they need to put their very best offer on the 

table, Lampen-Smith says. 

Some real estate agencies will hold on to 

the first offer they receive while they check 

for others, effectively creating a multi-offer 

process. 

“This may feel unfair if you think that your 

offer should ‘win’ because it was in first, 

but it’s worth remembering that the agent 

is working for the seller. Their primary 

responsibility is to get the seller the best 

outcome, considering both price and any 

conditions from buyers such as settlement 

date or being subject to finance.” 

If as a prospective buyer you are told 

that a sale is a multi-offer process but the 

situation later changes to a stand-alone 

offer, you must be told about this and get 

a chance to review your offer and submit a 

new one. 

How to give a multi-offer 

process your best shot 

1. Do as much homework on a property as 

you can before making the offer so you 

minimise any risks. This is important for 

many reasons; not least because it may 

help you eliminate some conditions and 

help you determine what your ‘best’ offer 

will be. 

2. When thinking about the offer, it’s worth 

considering how you would feel if you 

found out that a higher offer had been 

accepted ahead of yours. If you think you 

would be prepared to pay more, then it’s 

better to make that decision at the start 

than when it’s too late. 

3. There is often confusion around 

timeframes in a multi-offer process, 

especially if a potential buyer thinks they 

are the only people who are interested. 

Talk to the real estate agent marketing the 

property to make sure you are clear about 

any deadlines and about the sale process 

as a whole. 

4. Remember that the highest offer is not 

always the winner. If you were a seller, 

would you prefer a higher offer or one 

with fewer conditions? It’s impossible to 

guess what kind of offer will suit a seller’s 

particular circumstances, but it’s a good 

idea to eliminate as many barriers to a 

swift and easy sale as you can. 

5. Want to get in early? Include an expiry 

time on your offer. This kind of sunset 

clause means the agent must present it to 

the seller so they can consider it before it 

expires.
