Another
bus trial
planned in
Leeston,
Darfield
• By Emily O’Connell
TWO NEW bus services could be
trialled for six months in Selwyn,
starting in January.
Environment Canterbury and
the district council are behind
the idea and are seeking feedback
from residents on the two weekday
services.
One would be between Leeston
and Christchurch, and the other
between Darfield and Christchurch.
The proposed fares range from $2
to $3.90 for children and $3.85 to
$7.50 for adults.
District council asset manager
transportation Andrew Mazey
said it understands there is a need
to improve the public transport
connection to Christchurch in the
growing communities.
It comes after Red Bus ceased its
bus trial service in Darfield and
West Melton in March due to low
patronage.
The district council will be
covering the $60,000 budget for the
trials.
Leeston Community Committee
chairman Lloyd Clausen supports
the trial and says it “would be great”
for the area.
“We [the committee] did a survey
10 or 15 years ago and everyone
was dead keen to get it,” he said.

NO SURPRISES for guessing what people
in Rolleston think of the fact their town
has made a Facebook page called S**t
Towns of New Zealand.
The Facebook page though has got what
it probably has hoped for – lots of reaction,
including our two-page spread on pages 4-5.
It would be fair to say Rolleston is a fairly maligned place,
even within the district. But it is the urban heartbeat of Selwyn,
sprawling in all directions and bringing with it the benefits and
issues other towns and small cities have.
We profile Gillian Wilson in the Our People segment this
week (pages 30-31).
Gillian is well-known in the Lincoln area and as we discover
she has a fairly interesting sports background.

Fire rages, homes at risk
A few good reasons why Rolleston
Rolleston has made it
onto the S**t Towns of
New Zealand Facebook
page. And as expected, it
hasn’t gone down well with
people who live there. Emily
Naomi Hooft
O’Connell reports
A SENSE of community,
affordable land and a place that
doesn’t have “everything” – these
are just a few things Rolleston
residents love about their town.
The comments comes after
the S**t Towns of New Zealand
Facebook page profiled Rolleston
last week in
a post that
received more
than 2000
comments.
“Plonked
on the
appropriatelynamed
Canterbury
Plains, Rolleston
is a mind-numbingly featureless
town, completely lacking in
beaches, hills, rivers, bush, jobs,
or things to do – the missionary
position of towns,” it read.
Selwyn Times visited Rolleston
on Thursday to see what
residents really thought about
their town and what they made
of the Facebook post.
Naomi Hooft disagreed with
the post, saying the town has “a
lot going” for it and she would
definitely refer to it as
“the town of the future.”
“We’ve got a huge
amount of community.
It’s not just about children
and soccer mums – you
can call that what you
want, but basically what
it is is a community,” she
said.
The review poked fun
at Rolleston’s increasing
population, saying “despite
Marijke
Etwell
decades of stagnation, Rolleston’s
population has boomed since
2011, when it became New
Zealand’s pre-eminent
post-earthquake refugee
camp.”
One of the “refugees”
is Marijke Etwell, who
moved to Rolleston three
years ago because of the
affordable land prices.
She found the review
“hilarious.”
“I like it here, I like the
small town . . . I seem to
be happy at work, my husband’s

happy at work, my daughter’s
happy at school and there’s so
much happening,” Mrs Etwell
said.
When asked
what she
thought of the
post, Rolleston
resident Ann
Mason said it
was “s**t, quite
frankly.”
Although she Ann Mason
didn’t “go out a
lot,” she liked the family aspect
of the town.
Rolleston
resident
Robyn
McKenzie
“totally”
disagreed with
the post, saying
the district
council has
“really good
foresight” in
providing facilities for
the community. “I just think this
is a great town to live in,” she
said.
Although she
found the post
“quite harsh,”
Logan Pollock
admitted there is
not a lot to do in
the “beautiful”
town. “It’s
quite nice to
have somewhere
where there isn’t everything to
do,” she said.
Rolleston
resident
JP Xitlec said
Rolleston is
“nice” but he
does agree with
some of the
points made in
the post.

Miss Curd found the humour
in the post, but said comparing
the town to Hamilton was just
“cruel.”
The post read: “Originally

Otara, Rolleston was once
labelled ‘the Town of the Future’
– an embarrassing moniker
as any place aspiring to be

Watson,
who lives in
Rolleston,
shared the post
on his public
Facebook page,
commenting
“any publicity is

right? The page
Abigail Curd
is great satire.”
The review also targets the
town’s lack of a main street.
“Like the majority of its

unplanned and thus also lacks a
main street, leaving its resident
youth utterly confused about

it said. Once

Another bus trial proposed
•From page 1
“Local councils have been
pushing for it, so if they put a
trial out there, it’s down to the
people to use it,” he said.
Darfield Community
Committee chairman Pat
McKay also believes it would be
“a good thing,” as long as people
utilise it.
“They might

Jack Pearcy
It’s proposed
the Leeston

Christchurch via Doyleston,
Irwell and Springston.
The Darfield service would go
via Kirwee and West Melton to
the city.
With “a lot” of people in the
area working in Christchurch,
Springston Community
Committee chairman Rupert
Tipples believes the services
“could be” well-used.
He said if he couldn’t drive
into Christchurch himself, the
bus would be “invaluable.”
Doyleston Community
Committee member Jack
Pearcy is supportive of having
a bus service through the area
but believes it should go from
Southbridge to Christchurch.
“The bus, while it was
running, always left
Southbridge. What are they
thinking?” he said.
Mr Pearcy said the Doyleston
bus stop’s popularity would
depend on what time the bus
“went through it.”
The Selwyn Youth Council
ran a successful project called
Selwyn Link, where buses
travelled between Southbridge
and Darfield and Darfield to
Southbridge, via Rolleston.
It transported a total of

Fire rages, homes at risk
Pupils spend
holidays
reading
•From page 1
The aim is to promote reading
to prevent the “summer slide”
pupils can experience when
they return to school after the
holidays.
“It can take six weeks for
teachers to bring the students
back to the levels they were at the
previous year,” Mrs Morfett said.
A letter was sent to parents
who have pupils returning to the
school next year, and they chose
whether to sign their children up
to the programme.
The pupils will receive a bag
with four books, as well as an
audio book, an e-book, activities,
games and other “goodies” before
they finish school for the year.
Mrs Morfett said the idea
is that pupils read at least one
book a week and then when the
holidays finish, they would return
the bags and books to the school.
She said the initiative has
received support from businesses
in the area, as well as Selwyn
libraries.
•To sign a Rolleston School
pupil up to the reading
programme, email library@
rolleston.school.nz. The
school is asking for $2

Stadium costs discussions wanted
Mixed views
from Selwyn
residents
• By Emily O’Connell
A PROPOSAL for Selwyn
ratepayers to contribute
towards the operating costs of
Christchurch’s planned sports
and events area has received a
mixed reaction.
Committee for Canterbury
has suggested councils in the
region make a contribution to
the stadium.
The
committee,
which is
not directly
involved with
the stadium
development,
wants to start a
Gary Doyle
discussion on
how costs above
its revenue
could be covered.
The Crown and Christchurch
City Council have already
committed $473 million to the
project, which is hoped to be
built within five years.
Weedons Residents’ Association
secretary Gary Doyle believes
Selwyn residents shouldn’t
contribute as they’ve got their
own facilities to “take care of.”
“People from Ashburton,
Waimakariri, Hurunui,
Christchurch, they all come
and use our facilities but they
don’t contribute, we don’t
expect them to. Why should
we be contributing to the ones
[facilities] in there?” he said.
Mr Doyle said Christchurch
will see the benefits of the
stadium in its hotels, motels,
cafes and bars so “they should be
paying for it.”
His views were backed by
Hororata Citizens Committee
chairwoman Margaret Cross,
who didn’t think Selwyn
residents should be paying for
something in Christchurch.
“They [Christchurch] wouldn’t
pay for anything we have in our
district, I wouldn’t think. That’s
a bit cheeky,” she said.
However, Dunsandel Community
Committee chairman Nigel
Barnett doesn’t think “anybody
should be putting money into
the operating costs” of the
stadium.
“To me, the whole purpose of
building a stadium is to make it
a multi-purpose thing and the
running costs should be borne
by the actual users. So that’s a
bridge too far at this stage,” he
said.
Tai Tapu Community Association
chairman Gerald Carter
said his personal view was that
Selwyn residents should be contributing
to the stadium as they
will benefit also.
“In theory, Waimakariri
FORK OUT: An
idea for Selwyn
residents to
contribute to
the operating
costs of
Christchurch’s
stadium has
received mixed
reviews from
people living in
the district.
and Selwyn should amalgamate
with Christchurch. Well parts
of Selwyn, Selwyn’s a huge district
of course and some of
it may not be appropriate,” he
said.
Rolleston Residents’
Association chairwoman
Leonie MacLachlan said she
couldn’t make a comment as she
didn’t know enough about the
proposal.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
without seeing a business
case and understanding the
operating model, it was difficult
to speculate on who should
contribute to the operating
costs.
“I would hope that a proper
operational model would
support itself,” he said.
Regenerate Christchurch is responsible for developing the
regeneration plan for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor and has
considered thousands of ideas from the community, as well as
surveys, technical reports and studies.
We are now pleased to invite written comments on the
following documents from 14 November 2018:
• The Draft Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan, with the primary purpose
of enabling short, medium and long-term uses of approximately 600ha of land within the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor, including the area previously known as the residential red zone.
• The Proposed Partial Revocation of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan and the
Proposed Partial Revocation of the Land Use Recovery Plan, which would, in combination
(if approved) result in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan being the sole
Regeneration/Recovery Plan applying to the regeneration area.

Disposable takeaway coffee cups go in your red lid rubbish bin. They are lined with

Coffee cups can’t go in your organics bin either, even if it’s marketed as

Changes at The Willows
A DEDICATED motorhome
camping area, a trail bike
area and more access
for four-wheel-drive
enthusiasts are among the
changes taking place at The
Willows in the next few
months.
Environment Canterbury,
along with the district
council, are creating
new recreational facilities.
The Willows, at the end
of Thompsons Rd, off Old
West Coast Rd, is being developed
for non-motorised
activities. There are plans
for a dedicated motorhome
camping area with the
New Zealand Motor Caravan
Association.
In turn, Weedons
Forest will be available
for a range of off-road
activities, including trail
biking.
Trail bike riders will
have a dedicated area at the
Weedons Ross Rd end of
the park which will link up
with 28km of further trails
downstream in Miners
Forest to Haul Rd.
Four-wheel-drive enthusiasts
can access the

and Weedons Ross Rd.
Fully self-contained
freedom campers will be
welcome for up to two
weeks at a time on the

bank, west of Intake Rd
up to the gorge. People
can also camp west of
Diversion Rd on the north
bank.
The parks will remain
open and construction
will be ongoing during
the summer. Woods asked
people to be mindful of
that.
“Signage will be in
place and we want
everyone to take the time
to read the information
available to them,” Mr
Woods said.
Completion for the
project is earmarked for

“Potentially it’s quite exciting,

Dumped rubbish frustrates residents
• By Anan Zaki
FRUSTRATION IS mounting
over rubbish bags being dumped
on roads.
A number of residents
went on Facebook to report that
black rubbish bags have been
dumped in rural roads near
Prebbleton since November last
year.
Prebbleton resident
Miriam Martin said on most
occasions the bags are full of
discarded noodles or other food
scraps.
But household rubbish has
also been dumped.
Last week household rubbish
was found dumped on Tosswill
Rd.
“It’s a bit weird as to where
they are coming from,” Dr Martin
said.
The rubbish bags were also
seen in the Quarry View subdivision,
she said.
The rubbish is also only
found on quiet rural roads, she
said. “They are obviously going
through the back roads from
Halswell or to Halswell,” Dr
Martin said.
She notified the district council
about the rubbish last week.
“The food scraps are attracting
flocks of birds, rats and mice.
It’s a health hazard,” Dr Martin
said.
Others businesses pay to have
their rubbish cleared she said.
“It’s criminal behaviour,” Dr
Martin said.
“We’re not allowed to drop
rubbish on the side of the road
for good reason. You don’t have
a right to pollute other people’s
property, even if it is the council’s.”
Said a district douncil
spokesman: “We have received
complaints about rubbish being
dumped in the Prebbleton area,
and have removed it once we
have been made aware of the
dumping.”
Dr Martin urged more people
to report rubbish dumping and

Hororata Hall’s
heritage
status to be

• By Emily O’Connell
ADDING THE Hororata Hall
to the heritage items list in
the district plan will be peer
reviewed.
The district council’s property
committee discussed the issue at
its meeting recently.
A district council spokesman
said the hall, which is on
Hororata Rd, was subject to a
technical heritage assessment
and this assessment along with “a
number of other heritage buildings’
assessments” will now be
peer reviewed.
“To confirm that the recommendation
from the council’s
heritage specialist to list them in
the new District Plan is robust
and defensible,” he said.
The spokesman said landowners
have been advised of the peer
review and will be informed of
the outcome early next year.
“Once we know the outcomes
of the review, the council will
also advise the landowners what
it means for their heritage item/
building and what are the next
steps in the District Plan review
process,” he said.

Landlords
Insulate against fines!
By now, landlords, property managers
and most tenants will be aware of the
changes to the Residential Tenancy Act
concerning home insulation, requiring all
rental properties to have adequate ceiling
and under floor insulation installed, where
practicable, by 30 June 2019.
However, many landlords and property
managers may not be aware they could be
liable for a $4,000 fine (per non-compliant
property), payable to the tenants, if their
investment properties do not meet the
standard in time. With an estimated 125,000
rental properties still requiring better
insulation, these owners and property
managers are being urged to take action now
to avoid the impending rush.
Local long-established insulation specialists
EnergySmart are a selected service
provider for the government’s EECA (Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Authority)
insulation programme, and currently offer
both landlords and homeowners great
savings to better insulate their properties.
The company offers free property
assessments with an insulation Compliance
Certificate for the property if the existing
insulation already complies. If insulation
is required, they provide a Compliance
Report and quote to complete the work.
Extended home energy assessments are
also available, covering heat pumps and LED
lights if required.
EnergySmart are one of the largest
manufacturers and installers of insulation
products in New Zealand and supply a
range of home solutions including their
own insulation brands Terra Lana wool and
PolyKing polyester, as well as supplying Pink
Batts fibreglass insulation. All carry a 50
year warranty.
Their installers are fully trained, clean
and tidy, and their work is audited both
internally as well as by the government, so
you are assured of the highest standard of
workmanship.
EnergySmart has easy payment options
including no deposit and 36 months
interest free, meaning you can insulate your
property from only $12 per week. Landlords
can insulate now, take advantage of current
discounts, and beat the rush.
While insulation in rental properties is now
a legal requirement for landlords, they will
also have the satisfaction of knowing their
tenants are living in a warmer healthier, more
energy-efficient home, and consequently
are more likely to stay.
To enquire about a free property
assessment and insulation options,

Southern ChiropraCtiC

Chiropractic treatment promotes
wellness and happiness
Southern Chiropractic specialist André
Grob loves nothing more than to help
people.
With 17 years of experience treating
people with a range of spinal problems,
he has a deep understanding of the
value and benefits that his chiropractic
practice can offer clients experiencing
pain.
A high percentage of the patients
André treats suffer from lower back
and neck pain, followed closely by mid
back pain. He says some pain such
as headaches or shoulder pain often
comes from other places, and it’s
about finding and treating the source.
André believes that not only does
chiropractic treatment help relieve pain
but when applied regularly it also helps
promote an overall feeling of wellness
and happiness.
“When clients first come to the clinic,”
says André, “the first thing I do is to
take the time to find out what the
problem is. The aim is to treat the pain
and make them comfortable.” Once
the patient is better, he says it’s then
up to the patient to decide if they want
to come back for further or regular
chiropractic treatment. This could
be weekly, monthly or bi-annually
depending on what they want.
André says that in the USA chiropractic
treatment is listed third among the
most beneficial natural therapies
available. Used as an ongoing
preventative treatment, it offers a
holistic approach to overall wellbeing.
Keeping up with the latest trends and
developments in his field is vital to
André; however, he says it’s about
what works best for his clients. He
offers not only hands-on manipulation
of the spine but also soft tissue
massage, which some patients prefer.
He also utilises the modality of laser
treatment to assist the traditional
approach and an activator instrument,
which can be used more precisely
instead of hands.
Over the years André has successfully
treated an extensive client base
with ages ranging from school-age
children through to 90+ year-olds. He
enjoys the down-to-earth professional
relationships he has with each patient
and says delivering the chiropractic
service and getting people better is
what it’s all about.
Also, if he can’t help, he will refer his
patients to a professional who can.
If you have back pain and are looking for a committed, passionate, and caring chiropractic practitioner, call André today on 03 322 1432. Based in halswell at 3 Kennedys Bush Road,
Southern Chiropractic also runs a clinic every Tuesday in Ashburton.

Government taken to task over motorway
Fire rages, homes at risk
MP for
Selwyn
Amy Adams
writes
about the
Government
axing a plan
to upgrade
and four-lane the highway
between Christchurch and
Ashburton
AS MY electorate office is located
on Main South Rd in Templeton
I get to witness first-hand the
volume of traffic on this main
arterial route.
Unfortunately, I also get to
hear sirens from emergency
vehicles making their way to
accidents on this stretch of road
all too often.
While the opening of the
second stage of the Christchurch
Southern Motorway while help
eases safety and congestion
problems at the Templeton
end of State Highway 1,
unfortunately these issues will
persist for the remainder of the
route to the south of the new
motorway extension.
This is why National had
planned to upgrade and
four-lane the entire highway
between Christchurch and
Ashburton, but this plan has
been axed by the current
Government.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency’s recent announcement
that it will consult on a proposal
to install median barriers on
sections of the highway is a
poor substitute for what is really
needed which is a widened fourlane
highway with oncoming
traffic separated.
As my colleague Rangitata MP
Andrew Falloon and I recently
informed the Transport and
Infrastructure Select Committee
at Parliament the upgrade of this
road is essential to ensure the
safety of those travelling on the
road and to reduce congestion
and travel times for those
commuting and transporting
goods throughout our region.
We pointed out that the
demand on this road has
grown significantly in the past
decade due to the rapid growth
of Selwyn and increasing
international tourist numbers.
We also noted that the strong
local economy along with the
success of Timaru’s PrimePort
and developments such as the
inland port at Rolleston have all
contributed to more and more
trucks travelling on this road.
I noted my particular concern
about the vulnerability of the
Rakaia Bridge which acts as
a bottleneck and has in the
past resulted in closure of the
highway.
Mr Falloon emphasised that
this road has become the second
most dangerous in the South
Island with 19 deaths and 109
serious injuries occurring on
UPGRADE: Work
is progressing
on the $195
million Southern
Motorway project.
this stretch of highway between
January 1, 2010, and March 31,
2018.
We urged the Government to
take into account these dreadful
statistics and the detrimental
effect of congestion on this
route for our regional economic
growth.
We hope the Government will
listen and reinvest some of the
money it has stripped from our
regional roading budget into this
vital project.
Wild russell lupin a pest in Canterbury
Environment Canterbury
regional support principal
resource management
adviser biosecurity
Laurence Smith responds
to a Selwyn Times article
about brightening your
backyard with lupins
IN RESPONSE to your article
of November 14 encouraging
people to plant lupins in their
gardens, I wanted to provide
some context.
Wild russell lupin is, in fact,
declared as a pest in the Canterbury
Regional Pest Management
Plan. Our priority is to contain
existing infestations in Canterbury’s
braided rivers and prevent
impacts of spread between
properties.
Wild russell lupin rapidly
invades our shingly braided river
systems, forming large dense
stands, providing habitat for animals
which prey on endangered
bird species. Once established,
plants cause silt and gravel to
build up, invading open shingle
and eliminating bird nesting
habitats. Each year a significant
investment is made to protect
our braided rivers and wetlands
from weed pests.
Declaring wild russell lupin
as a pest was the outcome of a
joint meeting between Federated
Farmers (high-country section),
Department of Conservation
and Environment Canterbury
staff, and subsequent submissions
to the RPMP review. The
intent of the RPMP is to stop
further spread of wild russell
lupins into areas currently
clear of them by requiring a
setback from rivers and property
boundaries. Only the lupins inside
these setbacks are declared
as pests.
ECan is gathering information
to establish the full extent
of wild russell lupin to assist
with formulating control
programmes aimed at very low
incidence sites, and we will be
working with people in these
areas to reduce and/or prevent
its further spread.
•For more information

management of lupins, go

First week on the
job and baby takes
her first steps
26 th november– 2 nd december 2018
$
8 99 kg
VITTORIA HAS taken
her first independent steps.
And all five of them were
away from me.
I don’t mean that in
some metaphorical sense,
they were literally away
from me and she hasn’t
walked again . . . yet.
While we played in the
hall, my wife Laura called
her over and she turned
away from me and walked
the half metre over to her
mum.
Laura’s proud as punch
and I’m super-excited
about what this means for
my time as a stay-at-homedad.
However, I’m still
jealous that all five of her
steps so far have been away
from me. Dumb, huh?
Luckily, I did not have
time to spend moping –
November 13 was B-Day.
My first official stay-athome-dad
day.
It was like D-Day, except
without the guns, the
soldiers, the beach landing
or other adults.
I think I did really well,
but it showcased what I
think will be a hurdle for
me.
I’d had a couple of
training days over the
weekend as Laura went
out with friends and to
organise a few things
before starting back at
work.
On the Friday, I took
Vittoria for a walk, got a
slice of pizza and chased
some ducks.
All good stuff in lieu of
baby times at the library,
which would’ve been on if
it wasn’t Show Day.
However, the weather
last week put walks out
of the question and there
were still no free activities
on nearby.
It forced me to think of
something to do. Before I
could have just followed
Laura’s routine.
But that’s just it, it’s
Laura’s routine.
Now that I’m in charge
(in theory, Vittoria tends
to dispute that) on the
home front, organising
outings and thinking up
things to do is on me.
VITTORIA
& Matt
In stereotypical male
fashion, I decided on a
trip to get some bits to do
some repairs at home – fix
all Vittoria’s broken bibs
using hammered in snap
fasteners.
But I wonder if I’ll
manage to keep conjuring
ideas to keep us occupied
before I hit a wall of sorts
and spend every day
there’s no activity at home
in my pyjamas being hit in
the head with toys.
More to the point, I
hope those ideas can
include other grown-ups
so I can sneak in the odd
conversation that doesn’t
include the phrases “please
don’t cry” and “eat that” or
“the cat doesn’t like being
climbed on.”
•Former Star Media
journalist Matt Salmons
has become a stayat-home
dad. We will
follow his journey
weekly.
West Melton’s tough kids
About 150 West
Melton School
pupils took part
in the Tough
Kid Challenge
at South New
Brighton on
Thursday. The
event, which
was run by Sport
Canterbury,
had an obstacle
course that
included wading
through a muddy
estuary, jumping
in water and being
hosed down by a
fire brigade.

Energy waste solutions sought
LINCOLN Envirotown has
hosted a meeting for businesses
interested in a Selwyn
Responsible Business Network
in Rolleston.
Businesses were invited to a
social occasion and treated to
two presentations which examined
concepts of sustainable
practices relating to power use
and waste management.
Many of the ideas discussed
looked at the cost-cutting possibilities
that result from adopting
more sustainable practices,
while others emphasised general
environmental concerns.
Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Authority programme
partnership manager Richard
Briggs surprised the audience
with the statistic that businesses
typically waste up to 20 per cent
of the energy they use.
Most solutions to this problem
are low or no cost solutions
which look to making current
processes more efficient before
looking at any replacement of
infrastructure.
Mr Briggs strongly suggested
businesses should start looking
at the possibilities of making
savings by undertaking an
energy audit to really assess how
much power is being used and
where. Details of funding bodies
which could help with longterm
solutions were also shared.
The second presentation
by district council water and
recycling manager Andrew
Boyd gave some insight into
the recycling situation around
the world and its impact on
Selwyn.
He explained how the old
model of using resources to
produce the things we need and
then discarding them as waste,
cannot be sustained.
The concept of the circular
economy whereby resources
are used in production and
then reused was examined
with numerous examples cited.
Mr Boyd also advised on good
recycling habits and gave an
insight into the difficulties of
the processes.
Lincoln Envirotown would
like to thank the district council
for supporting the initiative.
Bell returned to Springston church
• By Emily O’Connell
THE MISSING church bell
from St Mary’s in Springston
has been found.
Spokesman Neville Benny
said a man found the 150-yearold
cast iron bell on the banks
of the Waimakariri River about
a month ago while jetboating.
A relative of the man then
read about the bell two weeks
later in Selwyn Times and let the
finder know, who then got in
touch with the church.
Mr Benny said the bell, which
went missing sometime between
late September and early
October, has been burnt and
will need “cleaning up” before it
is put back in its place.
Mr Benny is unsure what
exactly happened to the bell but
said whoever stole it may have
thought it was brass and could
have been trying to “melt it
down.”
BACKYARD CRITTERS
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.

WOLF SPIDERS are
one the most numerous
invertebrate predators in many
environments, but particularly
in grasslands where they are
viewed as being beneficial.
As many as 27 species of wolf
spiders or lycosidae are known
in New Zealand.
The most common New
Zealand species found, usually
in modified grasslands such as
pastures, gardens and lawns, is
Anoteropsis hilaris.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Wolf spiders are active hunters
CREEPY CRAWLY:
Anoteropsis hilaris is the
most common New Zealand
species of wolf spiders. They
are usually found in modified
grasslands such as pastures,
gardens and lawns. ​
They are 8-12mm in length,
dark brown in colour with pale
yellow through the middle of
their body.
This species live in a small
burrow, do not build webs, and
females can often be observed
carrying a white egg sac around
with them.
With good eyesight they are
active hunters by day, preying
on a range of species, sometimes
larger than themselves.
This spider is commonly parasitised
by a spider wasp which
paralyses the spider and lays a
single egg in it, which develops
inside its body until death.

SUMMER
in
SELWYN
is back!
Check your letterbox this week for your events guide
Boost Out family celebration
We’re celebrating the end of our youth programme BOOST2018 and
we want you to join us!
BOOST Out is an action-packed evening featuring food trucks, a
skate jam, graffiti art and live entertainment from Selwyn youth bands.
This is an event for the whole family. It will be hosted in the
Rolleston Reserve at 6–8.30pm on Friday 7 December. Don’t miss
out on the fun!
BOOST2018 took place during the October school holidays and
featured a range of events, activities and workshops to entertain,
empower and develop Selwyn’s youth.
Over 60 events are coming to the district as part of the 2018/19 Summer in Selwyn event
programme, kicking off in December and continuing until late March. Selwyn residents will receive
their Summer in Selwyn events guide in the mail this week.
There is something for everyone to enjoy this summer. Council-run events include two outdoor
movies at Lincoln and Leeston and two drive-in movies at Rolleston and Darfield, starting with the
Christmas classic movie Elf on Sunday 16 December.
Pool Parties will include a special Christmas Pool Party at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, as well as
parties at Darfield, Sheffield and Southbridge community pools. The ever popular Teddy Bears’
Picnic will return to Rolleston Community Centre and Rolleston Reserve with jam-packed family fun.
Picnic in the Park events and Summer Skate/Scooter Jams are coming to eight locations around
the district, while a new event – Summer 3X3 Basketball Jam – encourages anyone to jump into a
game and have a go.
Other entertainment includes live music at local parks with A Month of Sundays in February.
Residents can bring a picnic and relax while listening to an outstanding line-up of our local
talented musicians at the Lincoln Green.
A number of Selwyn District Libraries events are also taking place over summer including craft
and story book workshops, Summer Reading Bingo and games challenges, spurring on multigenerational
fun.
A great range of community-organised events are on offer too, including Christmas parades, fêtes
and picnics, and fitness-related events.
For a list of Summer in Selwyn events, visit facebook.com/summerinselwyn or selwyn.govt.nz/events.
Brought to you by Selwyn District Council and proudly sponsored by Spectrum Lighting and
Sound, Faringdon and New World Rolleston.
Community pools open for summer season
Darfield, Sheffield and Southbridge Community Pools are now open for summer. Currently these pools
are open from 3.30–7pm but will be open from 1–7pm over the summer school holidays.
This summer, season passes to Sheffield pool are available for $70. These are available from committee
member Rachel Benny, phone 027 613 4716. Casual swims are $2 at Sheffield pool, payable to the
lifeguard staff upon entry. Information on admission prices and activities at Darfield and Southbridge is
available at these pools.
For more information visit selwyn.govt.nz/communitypools.
Proposed trial of bus services
for Darfield and Leeston
The trial of two new bus services for the Selwyn district is being
proposed.
The Council and Environment Canterbury are asking for feedback
on two proposed trial bus services; one between Leeston and
Christchurch, and the other between Darfield and Christchurch.
Environment Canterbury Senior Manager Public Transport Stewart
Gibbon says they need to know if the community agrees there is a
need for a daily commuter service.
“As part of its Long-Term Plan, Selwyn District Council has
committed to funding one return bus service daily during the
working week, on a trial basis, as long as the community agrees
there is a need for such a service, and is prepared to support it,”
says Gibbon.
“We are asking for input from the community on if they would use
such a service, as well as the times and pick up/drop off locations
for the trial services that would best meet their needs.”
Selwyn District Council Asset Manager Transportation Andrew
Mazey says the services area a response to growing communities.
“There is a need for improved connectivity to Christchurch for
those living in Darfield and Leeston that doesn’t just rely on using
private motor vehicles. These routes will provide a number of people
with an alternative way to connect to Christchurch for a range of
purposes like education, health services and employment.”
It is proposed that the Leeston service would travel to central
Christchurch via Doyleston, Irwell and Springston. The Darfield
service would go via Kirwee and West Melton to the city. The trial
services are intended to start from January 2019 for a six-month
trial period.
Brochures with feedback forms will be delivered to residents this
week and will also be available at both the Leeston and Darfield
libraries and service centres. People can also complete the survey
online at metroinfo.co.nz. The survey is open until Tuesday 11
December.

Rolleston Town Centre
Rolleston Library and Community Centre
Update November 2018
Te Ara Ātea – our new library and community centre
Dynamic public spaces to
complement library
Planning and design is now well advanced for the public spaces at the heart of Rolleston’s new
town centre.
The Council’s design team expects to lodge resource consents before the end of the year for the
first stage of the project, which will include the library, town square and key roading elements.
A central element of the plan is the open public space that will connect the town centre to Te Ara
Ātea – the library and community centre.
The area has been designed so that people can move freely between the indoor environment
of Te Ara Ātea and outdoor spaces that encourage community gathering, activities, recreation
and reflection.
A main promenade will run between Tennyson Street entrance and the Wordsworth Street
extension, offering pedestrians a leisurely walk through landscaped gardens, comfortable seating
areas, grassy ‘urban islands’, outdoor kids’ educational zone and even a vege garden.
Te Ara Ātea will open onto a spacious town square which will provide areas for civic and
community gatherings, markets, events, performances and informal community interaction.
Among the distinctive features of the town square are a suspended overhead lighting system
to create a unique night-time environment, raised gardens with seating, shade sails and water
features. There are also spaces for tables and chairs outside the proposed hospitality and retail
premises adjacent to the library and community centre.
As well as pedestrian space, the promenade will also accommodate cyclists and limited
service access for vehicles. Initially part of the promenade and laneways may be constructed
with asphalt, with permanent decorative paving installed once later stages of building
construction are completed.
Selwyn and Rolleston’s new library and community centre will be
known as Te Ara Ātea – after the name was formally gifted to the
Council by Te Taumutu Rūnanga.
The name means “the unobstructed trail to the world and beyond” and
reflects the centre’s role as a place for learning, gathering, connecting,
exploring and celebrating the district’s heritage and people.
The new library and community centre is a landmark project in the
proposed Rolleston town centre, centred on what is currently part of
Rolleston Reserve. Construction of Te Ara Ātea is expected to start in
mid-2019.
Te Taumutu Rūnanga Chairperson Julie Robilliard says the rūnanga is
delighted to be supporting the Selwyn community with the new name.
“It is with great pleasure that Te Taumutu Rūnanga gifts the name of
Te Ara Ātea to the new Rolleston Library and Community Centre,”
she says.
“Meaning the unobstructed trail to the world and beyond, Te Ara Ātea
is particularly appropriate because the Rolleston area was part of a
network of ancient trails. We know that the people of the district will
enjoy their new library and community centre and we are pleased to
support the community by gifting this name”.
Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton says the Council has been working
closely with Te Taumutu as a key partner during the development and
design stages of the new library and community centre.
“We’re privileged that the rūnanga has gifted the name Te Ara Ātea
– which is so appropriate for a community facility where we will
celebrate our history but also look confidently to the future.
“The idea of exploring, challenging and finding different
pathways to learning and discovery is exactly what this exciting
new space is about.”

About the Rolleston Town Centre Master Plan
A master plan for Rolleston town centre was adopted by the Council in 2014 after extensive
community consultation. Key elements of the plan have also been confirmed through Long-Term
Plans and other consultation. The plan sets out a vision for a town centre, located on what is
currently part of Rolleston Reserve, which will be a vibrant and engaging destination for Rolleston
and the wider Selwyn district.
For background and to view the Master Plan documents: www.selwyn.govt.nz/yourtownyourfuture.
What’s coming next?
The Council will lodge resource consent applications before the
end of the year for the first stage of the town centre – including
the Te Ara Ātea building, town square and promenade and key
roading developments.
Preparatory site works are expected to begin in early 2019,
transportation projects in April and construction in June.

People-centred streetscape for town centre
Plans for the roading network around the new Rolleston town centre
reveal a streetscape that is people-centred.
The roads around Te Ara Ātea and the adjacent civic and commercial
spaces will be predominantly low-speed, attractively landscaped,
cycle and pedestrian-friendly, and with provision for both on and offstreet
car parking.
Consultation on the original Rolleston town centre master plan, and
subsequent Long-Term Plans, confirmed the development of a lowspeed
thoroughfare along the Wordsworth Street extension, which will
run through the commercial and retail areas adjacent to Te Ara Ātea,
connecting from Moore Street to Markham Way at Tennyson Street.
Retaining through traffic helps ensure the area remains active and
vibrant. The street will be sympathetic with the wider town centre
design, including wide berms to accommodate tree planting and
greenery, small areas of garden, attractive lighting, seating and
street furniture.
Pedestrian pathways will be generous, with attractive paving, and
the 6.4 metre road width is designed to accommodate two lanes of
traffic. The design will incorporate traffic calming in the form of raised
crossings in concrete pavers, which encourage vehicles to reduce
speeds at locations where pedestrian cross the road.
Car parking is provided along the road, and there is also right-angle
parking opposite the Scouts hall, alongside the reserve.
Tennyson Street, between Moore Street and Rolleston Drive, will
undergo a major transformation – becoming Rolleston’s new high
street. It will also be a 30km/hr zone, with attractive landscaping and
street furniture, traffic calming features and wide pathways.
Te Ara Ātea, the Rolleston Library and Community Centre, will be
the landmark feature on the western side of Tennyson Street, along
with the adjacent commercial and retail areas extending towards
Rolleston Drive.
This will be complemented by additional commercial
development on the on the eastern side, including retail and
hospitality premises already under development by private
developer Jatinder Developments.
Multiple car parking options will be available in the vicinity of
the town centre. On street car parking will be available on both
Wordsworth Street and Tennyson Street. The Council will also
develop off-street parking at the Moore Street end of Rolleston
Reserve (See plan C1 – 76 spaces), behind the planned shops on the
eastern side of Tennyson Street (C2 – 45 spaces), and on two sites
on the southern side of the Wordsworth Street extension (C3 – 137
and C4 – 124 spaces).

Australasian driving title for former Darfield student
CHAMPION: Sheree Tomlinson won the Australasian Young
Drivers Championship. ​
FORMER Darfield High School
student Sheree Tomlinson won
the Australasian Young Drivers
Championship in Brisbane on
Saturday night.
Tomlinson sealed her victory
with a second placing on Parisian
Rockstar in the final heat of the
competition.
She dominated the first two
days of the three-day series by
winning three of its first six
races.
The 20-year-old headed in to
Saturday night’s three deciding
heats at Albion Park with a
32-point lead.
Queensland’s Nathan Dawson
got within 14 points of her ahead
of the final heat after scoring a
SPORTS
win and a second placing in heats
seven and eight.
Tomlinson had little luck in
those races, finishing fourth and
eighth.
Dawson was the only driver
who could beat Tomlinson with a
strong result in the final heat.
He needed to win with
his drive, Ted West, and for
Tomlinson to run last or secondlast.
Tomlinson took control of her
championship destiny when leading
with Parisian Rockstar in the
final heat to finish on 97 points,
ahead of Dawson on 76.
Fellow New Zealand
representatives, Alicia
Harrison and Benjamin Butcher,
finished seventh and ninth,
respectively.
Tomlinson has finished third in
the New Zealand junior driver’s
premiership for the last two years
and this season she currently
second behind Ashburton’s John
Morrison.
On Saturday, Sheree’s younger
sister Kerryn had back to back
third place finishes at Geraldine
on Amaretto Sun – trained by
her grandfather Ken Ford – and
Tall Poppy.
$500 raised at Rolleston Toy Library fundraiser
ALMOST $500 was raised at a
toy drive and car boot sale for
the Rolleston Toy Library on
Saturday.
The event was both a fundraiser
and a community engagement
exercise for the newly-formed
library committee.
“We want the toy library to
be seen as a valuable resource
for our local families, so the
best way to achieve that is to get
out amongst the community
and spread the word,” library
communications co-ordinator
100%
CapItal GaIn
to the ResIDent
Michelle Sim said.
“Of course, nothing happens
without money, so this was our
first initiative to start raising the
funds we need to turn the vision
into reality.”
About 25 people booked spaces
for the car boot sale and others
donated toys.
Several community groups
also got involved by donating
time or resources, including
The Sling Lady with free babycarrying
advice, a team from
ANZ that ran a sausage sizzle
and Ray White Real Estate which
offered the use of a gazebo.
Rolleston College students
helped design promotional flyers
for the event which was held in
the school’s car park.
In spite of bad weather, Mrs
Sim said “so much effort had
gone in to planning the day,
nobody wanted to pull the pin
unless we absolutely had to.”
While some stall-holders had
to pull out, there were still about
a dozen selling everything from
homemade crafts, jams and

While the weather may have
prevented the event from being
as big as hoped, the library
committee is still claiming it as a
success.
“Not only did we raise nearly
$500, which is an excellent
start, but we were able to
begin connecting with the
community,” Mrs Sim said.
“We want to thank everyone
who pledged their support, we
really appreciate it.”
The group hopes to run
another similar event next

will pursue further fundraising
opportunities, as well as
continuing the search for
suitable premises.

Gillian Wilson
From back street football in Northern
Lincoln resident Gillian
Wilson recently returned
from the Pan Pacific
Masters Games on the
Gold Coast where her
Waikato Pioneers team
finished third. Age was no
barrier for the 56-yearold
who was the second
oldest player in the
women’s 40 and over
division. Gordon Findlater
spoke to the former
double international
about her early days
representing Northern
Ireland in football and
Ireland in equestrian.
Tell me about your footballing
days in Northern Ireland, how
were you introduced to the
sport?
I grew up playing football with
the boys in the back streets of
Belfast. I didn’t even know that
the women played to be honest.
I was in Young Farmers because
I’ve always enjoyed the country
and love animals, particularly
dogs. Anyway, they do a big gala
thing every year and I played
in the five-a-side ladies team. I
was playing five-a-side and at
the end of it this guy came up to
me, he had a clipboard, and he
said would you be interested in
playing 11-a-side football? He
said I’ll take your details and get
a manager to call you . . . I got
a phone call and turned up to
training and the next thing was
I was called up to the training
squad for Northern Ireland and
I’d never played an 11-a-side
game in my life. That was how
my career started and my first
11-a-side game was against
Scotland at Ibrox Stadium which
is the home ground for Glasgow
Rangers.
Did you get to play at any
other famous stadiums?
We played at Wembley against
England and we also played at
Elland Road which is the home
of Leeds United which is my
team. We got a tour of the place
and got to meet the team which
was amazing, especially for some
young girls from Belfast.
What was the stature of the
team like back then?
We had no money. If we had
to go somewhere you paid for it
yourself . . . we flew over to play
Scotland at Ibrox and the team
went across in four six-seater
planes over the Irish Sea. I won’t
be doing that ever again as long
as I live, it was a nightmare. We
arrived and had this shoddy little

bus while the Scottish girls had
this massive coach. They were
all sponsored and their gear was
immaculate. All these girls could
swap shirts after internationals
but we had one strip. If you lost
a sock you were in deep trouble.
We were as good as anything
around at the time though
because we had a lot of drive and
a lot of heart.
Are there any highlights
playing internationally that
stick out for you?
I guess the biggest highlight
was scoring a dead ball free kick
against England in Belfast from
22 yards. It was a big curler into
the top right-hand corner. The
English goal-keeper came up and
congratulated me after the game
. . . they were the top in the world
at that time. I think they beat us
4-1 but to get the one from there
against probably the best goalkeeper
on the planet at that time
was huge.
What position did you play?
I started out on the right
wing because I was very quick
in those days, but they decided
I was more of an architect of
the game and I read the game
very well so they moved me into
midfield which is where I still
play today.
Were there ever
opportunities to play
football for a living?
There weren’t quite the same
opportunities there are today,
but I was offered contracts in
Italy and I was also offered a
contract in America. There
were three of us from the Irish
team offered contracts and my
girlfriend Geraldine went . . .
the contract was to go and play,
you had accommodation and
they gave you about a thousand
dollars American a week which
was huge money and all you had
to do was coach twice a week at a
university.
Why didn’t you do that?
I’d started with the horses
at that stage as well so I had
other commitments. It was also
a very long contract so I had
to think, what if I don’t like it
and I was tied into a contract.
You had to really want to do it
and be prepared to spend five
years there . . . I think that was
the issue. If it had been for 12
months it would have been
something I’d have a go at.

Ireland to a life of horses and gardens
You’ve recently returned to
football for a couple of masters
tournaments. Tell me about the
third place finish in the Gold
Coast.
It was an amazing experience.
Our first game we played as a
team was our first game there
and we won 3-0 . . . the biggest
struggle was with the heat, it was
80 per cent humidity. I stuck my
shirt in a bucket of ice before
every game and it was dry within
minutes of chucking it on. They
had to take drink breaks every 15
minutes.
You also represented Ireland
in equestrian?
Dad bought me a little pony I
was just horse mad. I ended up
really just coming up through
the ranks and I represented
Ireland when I was 15. I started
when I was 11 and did it up until
I moved to New Zealand, so for
about 17 years.
Did you have much success?
Yes, I show-jumped all over
the place and represented Ireland
at Hickstead in England. I was
third overall in Europe which
was huge. There are 80 to 100
competitors over the space of a
week. I won Northern Ireland
championships in the late 1970s
and I was third in Ireland so that
put me in the top two or three in
the country.
Tell me about your move to
New Zealand.
They were starting an
equestrian centre up in Waikato
and I got the job. I started out
with four lame horses and no
clients. Now it’s one of the biggest
in New Zealand. I ran that for
five-and-a-half years, we were
one of the first places in the
North Island to start therapeutic
riding . . . then I got terribly ill,
moved to Christchurch and I’ve
been here ever since.
What happened with you
being terribly ill?
I’d been back to Ireland in
1992 and in 1993 I wasn’t feeling
very well. I’d had several pains
in my lower back and I just felt
really bad. Then I passed out one
day and woke up in intensive
NATIONAL HONOURS: Wilson played 26 games for Northern
Ireland.
care five weeks later in Waikato
hospital and they said I’d picked
up some sort of a bug which had
been dormant until my immune
system was low and then it
attacked the system . . . to this
day they don’t know what it was,
but at the time they said to my
parents that I had about three
hours to live.
So you didn’t remember a
thing for five weeks?
I don’t remember a thing.
I just remember being on the
phone to my mum. I know it was
around St Patrick’s Day because
her birthday is on the 18th of
March and I was about to head
FLYING: Wilson clears a barrier while competing in a show
jumping competition in Dublin in the late 1970s.
out to work because I lived on the
property at the equestrian centre
and then I just remember waking
up five weeks later . . . they said
to me if I wanted to play football
again it was going to take me a
couple of years to get my strength
and coordination back, but I
played half a game of premier
football that September.
So after that you moved to
Christchurch?
Mum and Dad were in
Christchurch and I needed
looking after so they said
look you’ve got to come to
Christchurch . . . when I got
here I ended up playing for
Canterbury and captained
the team at the South Island
championships which we won.
I played a couple of seasons
with the team but I’d gone into
my own business at that stage.
That basically when I stopped
playing.
What was the business you
had?
Initially when I came down
I ran the equestrian centre at
Wigram. I did that for a while
and then I had some land on
Old Tai Tapu Rd so I decided
to go into agistment which is
looking after race horses when
they’re not racing. I did it mainly
for a lot of the local trainers
like Colin De Filippi, Murray
Edmonds, Mike De Filippi and
Brent Weaver. I had all of their
horses when they were spelling
from racing and that’s a fulltime
job. I did that for 12 years
actually.
Now you’re doing gardening?
Yes, I decided I had enough of
the land and got back into my
gardening . . . so I bought a little
house in Lincoln and I’ve been
back at my gardening for seven
years. I was going to get enough
to keep me busy but it’s ended up
I have so much work I need an
extra day in the week.
I take it you celebrated
Ireland’s win over the All Blacks
last weekend?
Absolutely. I turned up work
last Monday in my Ireland scarf
and shirt. My first client on a
Monday is an avid All Blacks
fan and he said to me he knew I
would do that.
Last question, do you drink
Guinness?
Oh yes, I think we drank the
Landsdown Road dry – which
was the local Irish pub on the
Gold Coast – when we were over
there . . . we liked to have a drink
on our day off, it was the only
right thing to do really.

Diane Chesmar has a passion for dogs. Her
boutique dog accommodation based in Burnham,
Wagging Tails Country Retreat, is a testament to
her love and dedication to her four-legged guests.
Wagging Tails is a purpose-built facility, suitable
for both small and large dogs, where comfort is
essential with air conditioning for hot days and
self-heated bedding for chillier nights. Each guest
is welcomed and assessed individually based on
detailed information supplied by the owner.
Diane says she likes to think of Wagging Tails as a
home-away-from-home, where she can cater to the
individual dog’s needs and spend one-on-one time
with each guest.
Small or shy dogs have a separate play area and,
when the bigger dogs are having a rest, the little
dogs also get a run in the larger playground, which
comes complete with tunnels, mounds and a water
feature.
“Each dog gets plenty of play time. They are
handpicked to socialise in small compatible groups
and, being country-based with no neighbours, they
can make as much noise as they want.”
Diane’s background in nursing along with time
worked in a veterinary clinic, means she has a good
understanding of the needs, health, and welfare of
her four-legged guests.
Owners can rest assured that their beloved pet
will be well-loved and looked after while they are
away and can also see what their dog is up to on the
Wagging Tails’ facebook page.
Diane also offers doggy daycare for those who
need to work or don’t like to leave their dog home
alone while they are out and about.

vehicles are the talking point,
and while Tesla is seen as the
glamour brand and has stolen
the limelight in that part of the
market, it’s now time for the
mainstream manufacturers to
stand up and be counted.
Sure, there are a plethora of
petrol/electric hybrids available
in our market, and heaps
of pre-owned Nissan Leafs from
Japan, but there are just a few
electric-only models that can be
purchased new here.
One manufacturer which is
offering a good cross-section
of electric and hybrid models
is Hyundai. In recent times it
has launched a smallish liftback
model – the Ioniq – in electriconly
form (as well as hybrid), and
just lately the Kona has landed
with electric propulsion, bearing
in mind the small sport utility
vehicle is also here in normallyaspirated
and turbocharged petrol
variants.
When I look back in my diary
for this year, I see I’ve spent more
time in Kona than any other
model. It’s just as well then that
I like it, the Kona a neat mid-size
SUV which punches above its
weight in terms of driveability
and practicality. It lands here
HYUNDAI KONA: Plug it in and charge it up.
from $31,990, but it is a bit of a
step up to buy the electric Elite
64kWh at $79,990. Sure, there’s
a soon-to-be-launched lower
power version (39kWh), but
as with most new electric-only
models in the market there is a
price premium.
However, that’s no detraction,
the Kona EV is a fine piece of
work and it is a car which will go
a long way towards meeting the
sales target for EVs.
As mentioned, the Kona is
mid-size and there is little compromise
in the electric model.
Yes, the boot space is slightly
diminished but elsewhere you’ll
find little difference inside. That
is, unless you are the driver, the
controls and layout of the console
and dash area is quite different to
the standard car.
Notably, there are four push
buttons for the direct drive transmission,
all self-explanatory –
drive, reverse, park and neutral.
There are also paddle shifters;
well, they don’t really shift gears,
they simply add or reduce drag
on the electric motor to promote
the feeling of gearing. There
are also several drive modes to
increase or lower a sporty feel.
Ordinarily, the electric power
is ushered in with a solid surge
right from the point of first
movement. That’s because full
power is available instantly, and
if you take into account there
• Price – Hyundai Kona EV
Elite, $73,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4165mm; width,
1800mm; height,
1565mm
• Configuration – Electric
motor, front-wheeldrive,
150kW, 395Nm,
automatic transmission.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.6sec
is 395Nm of torque on tap, the
Kona EV feels feisty.
In technical terms, there’s also
150kW of power available which
if you stack up against a petrol
engine, then it is biased towards
sporty.
If you are thinking that there
must be some trade-off in terms
of range then think again, the
Kona EV has a claimed travelling
distance of up to 480km between
charges.
That’s simply due to the number
of batteries, as mentioned, there is
64kWh of storage, and that along
with the latest generation Lithiumion
Polymer technology makes
the Kona outstanding in terms of
capacity.
The only downside of having
such capacity is the charge time;
to fully charge from empty takes
around nine hours, or 43 hours
from a three-pin plug wall socket.
That aside, most drivers don’t let
the batteries go that low, and with
the number of charging stations
being installed nationwide, that
needn’t be an issue.
The Kona is also a blast to
drive, it is fast – a standstill to
100km/h time of 7.6sec is possible
and it will scorch through
a highway overtake in 4sec, the
time it takes to make 120km/h
from 80km/h is blisteringly fast,
and that’s attributable to that high
torque figure the electric motor
develops.
For an SUV, the Kona is
delightfully agile, and I’m talking
about a car which has a lot of
weight, the batteries add around
236kg to the standard car, yet it
still feels nimble and balanced.
Depending on your service
provider, the Kona will cost
around $8 to charge, and would be
more favourable on a night rate.
That being the case, it’s easy
to see why EVs are becoming so
popular in an age where fossil
fuel costs are spiralling. If I was
an EV buyer, the Kona would be
by far my pick, it is a genuinely
functional all-round vehicle,
and one which has quality
engineering aspects.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
SELWYN TIMES
Selwyn motor event
supports rescue helicopter
In 2017, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter undertook 693 rescue
missions across Canterbury, 76 of these in Selwyn. In 2016 the
numbers were a little lower at 639 and 74 respectively.
By the end of October this year, 72 rescue missions
had already been undertaken in the district, while 13
air rescues occurred across Canterbury and the West
Coast over Labour weekend.
Motor vehicle, mountain biking, hiking, workplace
and water related accidents all contribute to these
numbers as does medical emergencies.
Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust chief
executive, Christine Prince says the number of rescues
increases by approximately 10% each year, with over
12,000 successful missions having occurred since the
start of the rescue helicopter operation in 1989.
The New Zealand Flying Doctors service operates on
a national basis with planes based in Christchurch and
Nelson. The service is effectively a mobile Intensive
Care Unit, transferring patients between hospitals
such as to the Burwood Spinal Unit. This too is a busy
service with close to 1,500 missions completed in the
last 12 months.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter recently moved to a
new purpose-built emergency centre on Grays Road by
Christchurch Airport. A reserve rescue helicopter and
the New Zealand Flying Doctors are also based there.
GCH Aviation holds the contract for air rescue across
Canterbury, Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast;
working in partnership with Heli Otago as HEMS, to
carry out all South Island rescues.
Currently, there is a pilot, crewman and an intensive
paramedic on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Staffing
numbers will increase now the latest contract for
the service is in place. Future plans include the
introduction of a new helicopter in Christchurch and
increased clinical support, leading to improved patient
care.
The Flying Doctors and Rescue Helicopters are only
partly government funded. The successful operation
of the rescue service across the Canterbury and West
Coast regions requires another $4million, and another
$2.5million to support the Flying Doctors. Christine
Prince says fundraising efforts like last weekend’s
Jones Road Auto Selwyn Motor Fest and Fun Day at
Rolleston go a long way to helping achieve this goal.
“It’s wonderful when people come to us and say they
have a community initiative to raise funds for the air
rescue service. It helps save lives,” says Christine.
Organising the Jones Road Auto Selwyn Motor Fest
took numerous hours from many volunteers who
deserve a special thank you for their considerable
effort in putting on another successful motor fest.
In turn, the organisers would like to thank the many
individuals and businesses who provided financial
assistance, time and goods, especially Lisa and Nigel
Fleck from Jones Road Auto and Selwyn Auto, John
Haggitt from Anything Hydraulic.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS
Ensure a reliable vehicle
these summer holidays
Well serviced vehicles help ensure safe and reliable
motoring so before Christmas book your car, van or
home-on-wheels in for a check-up. This is especially
important if heading away on holiday or planning day
trips.
Having your vehicle in tiptop shape may avoid
ending up stuck on the side of the road or having an
avoidable accident due to brake failure, tyres skidding
or something worse.
“Even newer vehicles need regular servicing,” advises
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols’ owner, Simon Wilson.
“With annual warrant of fitness checks, people can
think their vehicles need less maintenance yet a year
is a long time and regular motoring takes its toll on a
vehicle,” advises Simon.
Simon says even late model vehicles break down.
Regular servicing helps spot potential problems before
they become an issue while keeping a vehicle more
reliable.
The team at Rolleston Diesel & Petrols have noted
more vehicles are breaking down through lack of
regular maintenance. A WOF inspection looks for
structural problems, covering brakes, suspension and
steering, a must for Selwyn motorists who generally
travel further. Even short distance travelling can take its
toll on a vehicle that does not warm up, putting strain
on the motor, leading to increased fuel consumption
and less economic motoring.
Some people also overlook tell-tale signs like the
smell of oil, suggesting an oil leak. If not repaired this
could lead to engine damage while low tread or uneven
tyre wear can be a safety hazard.
Simon, Hayden and Allen at Rolleston Diesel &
Petrols can check your vehicle and look after its regular
servicing, even reminding you when WOF checks are
due.
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols is a multi-skilled, wellequipped
repair and service centre with the latest
diagnostic equipment including fuel injector cleaning
gear, Egr and Dps, providing the capacity to maintain
and repair personal through to business vehicles.
Whether a car, ute, 4WD, van, light commercial
(up to 12 tons), motorhome, bus, motorcycle, jet
ski, boat, ride-on lawnmower, or horse float, good
quality components, oils and original specifically
manufactured equipment parts will be used on your
vehicle. They are also members of the Motor Trade
Association giving you assurance your vehicle will
receive quality workmanship.
“We don’t use cheap parts that won’t last,” emphasises
Simon who has a strong belief that every individual
vehicle should be maintained and fixed properly.
Diesel & Petrols is located at 839 Jones Road
on the Izone side of Rolleston. Why not give
them a call on 03 347 7110 or email: simon@
rollestondieselandpetrols.co.nz, and check their
website: www.rollestondieselandpetrols.nz.
Simon, Hayden and Allen would like to wish all their
loyal customers a great Christmas and New Year along
with a well-deserved break.
Over the holiday period, Rolleston Diesel & Petrols
will only be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day,
New Year’s Day and the following day.

Editorial supplied by
Gardening
• By Rachel Vogan
ROAMING around garden
centres at this time of year is one
of my favourite things to do.
The only downside is that even
if I don’t need anything at all, I
generally leave with a boot-load
of goodies.
ASTERS ‘KING SIZE BLUE’
AND ‘KING SIZE WHITE’
These asters are just the business
for anyone wanting to grow
flowers to pick. They’re quick
to germinate and the flowers will
be ready to pick and enjoy in
about 12 weeks. The blooms on
these annuals are much larger
than others in its category, with
rows and rows of petals on each
bloom, which is what makes them
so appealing for bouquets and
posies. Cut blooms last for well
over a week, even longer if the
water is changed frequently. ‘King
Size Blue’ has rich kingfisher blue
blooms on stems that reach up to
1m in height. ‘King Size White’
has pure snow-white blooms
that I can see being a favourite
for bridal bouquets or those
who have a desire to paint their
garden white. Plant in garden
beds or flower borders, and, if
wind could be an issue, pop some
stakes in to support the stems.
Regular cutting of the flowers
will encourage a longer flowering
period.
DIDISCUS ‘LACE MIX’
These vintage summer flowers
add a graceful, ethereal element
to the cottage garden. The plants
are quick and easy to grow. Each
plant produces a flurry of sweetly
scented umbels in blue, pink,
white and shades in-between. If
your garden is on the large size,
I suggest investing in a couple
of packets. When picked, these
lace flowers with last in a vase for
up to 10 days. Best grown in the
garden.
LAVENDER JAVELIN FORTE
‘DEEP PURPLE’
Our sporting friends from
Zealandia have released this
super-looking new lavender.
Being a Lavandula stoechas
variety, it will bloom throughout
summer and autumn, and bees
will just flock to it. It’s part of the
Javelin Forte series, bred to form
a very uniform compact plant
and with an unusually vigorous
growth habit – it will quickly
form a neat mound on the
garden and then cover itself
with a cloak of deep purple
flowers. What is unique is that
this one produces more flags or
ears per flower, which adds to
the plant’s overall appeal. Javelin
‘Deep Purple’ is suitable to plant
out in a sunny spot in the garden
or to create a statement in patio
pots.
BACOPA ‘MEGACOPA
WHITE’
Anyone who has grown these
ground-covering plants will
know they are a favourite for
hanging baskets and patio tubs.
‘MegaCopa White’ has the same
low-growing habit as other
varieties, but its huge pure white
flowers stay on the plant for a lot
longer. It doesn’t stop growing
when the temperatures rise either.
It is a wonderful plant in the
garden too, especially if you wish
to create a carpet of flowers under
the canopy of something else. You
will be able to get them through
the winter if you plant them in a
sheltered spot. Ask for this one
by name.
NEMESIA PENHOW AROMA
YELLOWS ‘PLUMS AND
CUSTARD’
How wonderful does this
new nemesia look. With its
contrasting yellow and purple
blooms, this sun-loving perennial
from the Penhow Aroma Yellows
series is more than likely to
hit the top-selling list on looks
alone. However, this plant has
a hidden gift – the flowers are
fragrant, with an aroma said to
be sweet and slightly spicy. Bred
in Wales at Penhow Nursery, it’s
an absolute showstopper and a
marvel of modern breeding. The
plants themselves grow nice and
compact, and look good en masse
or as extra colour to punctuate
your patio plantings. Get in quick
on this one, I have
a feeling it’s going to be popular!
STRAWFLOWERS
– COLOURWAVE
BRACTEANTHA DREAMTIME
SERIES
Holy moly, these bright
everlasting strawflowers look
impressive. If you are after bold
long-lasting summer and autumn
colour these Xerochrysum
bracteata are worth a look.
This new series features four
fantastic colours: ‘Jumbo Red’,
‘Jumbo Yellow’, ‘Jumbo White’
and ‘Jumbo Rose’ and forms nice
compact plants with a uniform
mounding habit. The hardy
annuals have been bred to flower
for months
on end and to endure life in
containers and tubs. They need at
least six hours of direct sunlight
a day and a fertile soil will ensure
they produce the most blooms.
Once established, they require
very little water
and are very heat tolerant.

producing masses of stunning
double blooms reminiscent of
a tiny petunia. So, if you are a
fan of the colour purple, this
calibrachoa could well makes
its way into your garden this
summer.
PATIO GERBERA ‘KAROO’
Flower lovers will gravitate to
this new patio gerbera. ‘Karoo’
boasts super large, two-toned
pink and white flowers, which
keep appearing throughout
summer and autumn. A trick
to keeping Gerbera jamesonii
looking the part over summer is
to plant them in a large tub and
use good quality potting mix, one
that holds onto water well. Full
sun is ideal; however, they will
cope with a few hours a day in
partial shade. They are also happy
indoors too, so why not dress up
the dinner table or windowsill
with these festive-looking
blooms?

to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.

to the day after the February 2,

are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no

$10 million, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body

The mediation agr ement

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
A bedroom offers
place of refuge
For many people their bedroom is more
than a place to sleep, providing somewhere
to escape to relax with a book or watch the
box. Children often play in their bedrooms.
They may also be a study den away from
distractions for students.
Calculating the ideal size for each
bedroom in your new home depends upon
whether it will simply be a place to hang
one’s clothes and sleep or have other uses
as well.
Visualising the size of each bedroom
can be hard when viewing house plans.
Visiting show homes can help though, be
mindful of the size of furniture and beds
on display. Compare each setting to what
will go into your bedrooms. Determine
the size of each room and measure your
existing bedrooms, or pace out what you
will require. You might even pop a tape
measure into your pocket when doing
the show home rounds, to help with this
exercise.
Budget will influence the number of
bedrooms and size of each. If wanting
a guest bedroom for the occasional
visitor, consider a more compact space or
incorporating this with an office space to
avoid having an under-utilised room.
Resale may be a consideration with three
bedrooms now popular where once only
four bedroom homes were sought after.
However, the number of bedrooms should
equate to your own family needs and
lifestyle.
Positioning of bedrooms in relation to
other parts of a home and sun are also
factors to consider. If you have a baby or
young children it may be favourable to
have the bedrooms close together. For
teenagers, a degree of separation from the
master bedroom might be desirable. Larger
families may also need more bathroom
facilities and if an elderly person or nonfamily
member will also be living in the
home, a separate ensuite just for them may
be advantageous.
Another consideration is bedroom
storage for clothing, toys, books and
items such as bedding. Walk-in robes
offer generous storage but consume more
space with more walls adding to the build
price. Taking wardrobe doors closer to
ceiling height will make top shelves more
accessible for storing large bags, suitcases
and less used possessions. Adding a row of
shelving on one side provides a great place
for jumpers, toys and the like and may take
away the need for a set of drawers in the
room.
Choosing a larger window or sliding
door where the room looks out to the
garden or a sunny area can
also make a bedroom more
attractive.
Incorporating a good
supply of power points and
electronic connections is more
affordable when a home is
built. Address how WiFi will
be accessed along with sockets
for telephone and television
reception.
Bedrooms need not be an
afterthought. Taking time to
reflect on your needs for this
area of the home helps ensure
a liveable and workable house
design.
