Planned
skate park
prompts
‘Rollenui’
social
media
response
• By Anan Zaki
THE DEBATE over the location
of a new skate park in West
Melton has led to “unfair” labels
being put on Rolleston.
Selwyn Central district
councillor Craig Watson says
online discussion about the
location has led to Facebook users
saying people from “Rollenui”
would cause trouble in West
Melton.
“Rollenui” is a term for people
from Aranui and other parts
of the city’s east who moved to
Rolleston after the earthquakes.
The “disappointing” comments
appeared last week on the West
Melton Community Page, but had
since been deleted, Cr Watson
said.
“A lot of the stuff I’ve seen on
social media are a lot of unhelpful
comments about people’s social
statuses, monetary issues and
people moving from Rolleston
causing issues,” Cr Watson said.

Fulton Hogan asked
• By Anan Zaki
ENVIRONMENT Canterbury
and the district council are
seeking more information from
Fulton Hogan over its planned
controversial quarry near
Weedons.
ECan requested more information
about the scope of the
application, Canterbury air
regional plan
assessments,
effects on air
quality, dust
management,
groundwater
effects, well
use, effects on
Simon Moore
water races,
aggregate
washdown water,
truck washing, stormwater
discharges, land contamination,
hazardous substance storage,
clean-fill management and site
rehabilitation.
The district council requested
more information on transportation
matters, noise, landscape,
assessment of effects, mitigation
measures and planning and
other general information.
Fulton Hogan said it will
respond to the requests for more
information by February 28.
Fulton Hogan applied to
quarry on the site bordered by
Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and
Maddisons Rds in November.
“Once the information is
deemed to be complete, the
applications will be publicly
notified, providing the opportunity
for submissions to be made,”
ECan said.
ECan says once the information
is received both councils
will review and assess the information
to determine whether it
is complete, or whether additional
clarification from Fulton
Hogan.
Weedons Residents’
Association member Simon
Moore believed the requests for
extra information by ECan and
the district council was “well
written.”
“I was quite pleased, it was
obviously quite thorough and
it would be very interesting to
see what their [Fulton Hogan’s]
response to a lot of the questions
would be, particularly the issues
around water and traffic,” Mr
Moore said.

Hogan will
provide more
information
about its

Mr Moore believes that if
Fulton Hogan chose not to
respond, the quarry was unlikely
to go ahead because more
information would have been
needed.
ECan said that once the information
is received, both ECan
and district council will review
and assess the information to
determine if it is complete or
if more clarification is needed
from Fulton Hogan.
Dates for the resource consent
hearing will be set once the

“In reality, when I was doorknocking
for the election three
years ago, a lot of the families I
met . . . were all selling because
their teenage children were so
bored and their parents were
spending their entire weekend
driving in and out of
town,” Cr Watson said.
He said there is some
concern about the skate
park being located near
houses.
“The community can
decide where they want
to put it . . . but we need
to make sure we cater for
all the community, not
just those that don’t want
it,” he said.
Cr Watson said
he doesn’t have a
preferred location but
he understood people’s
concerns about a skate
park creating noise
issues.
The district council
is currently consulting on the
design and location of the skate
park. It has given four options
for residents to choose from. The
consultation closes on February
13. The proposed options are
the reserve on West View Cres
joining West Melton Primary
School; Brinsworth Reserve
on Brinsworth Ave; Retford
Common Reserve on Rotherham
Drive; and the West Melton
Domain next to the community
and recreation centre.
West Melton Residents’
Association member Bruce
Russell said the site next to the
community and recreation centre
was the only “logical”
option. Mr Russell did
not agree with the online
comments about people
from Rolleston causing
trouble at the proposed
skate park. “If we can keep
the youth occupied they will
stay out of trouble,” he said.
Craig Watson “[Prior to] consultation,
the community committee
who represented clubs and
organisations had taken it
back to their own people
with the suggestion where
we felt it should go,” Mr
Russell said.
“The [location] we’re
thinking about we don’t
Bruce Russell need any other facilities like
toilets. Also, the community
centre is being manned, all the
medical equipment is there and all
the staff are trained to cope with
accidents,” Mr Russell said.

Cop gives kids helping hand
• By Anan Zaki
WHEN MOTHER Gretchen
Pirika took a group of children
out to sell lemonade and cookies
last week, the police were on
their case.
Constable Blair Croucher
was patrolling the area and
found himself dealing with the
group of five kids on Goulds Rd,
Rolleston.
He quickly returned to the
Rolleston Police Station for
backup.
A few minutes later, Constable
Croucher returned, reinforced
with chocolates, colouring
books and fizzy drinks.
Mrs Pirika said the children
had a day they will never
forget.
“He had the kids sitting in
the car, they had the sirens
on, the lights on and answered
all the kids’ questions,” she
said.
“He was so lovely and it just
made the kids’ day.”
Mrs Pirika posted the act of
kindness on the Facebook group
Rolleston Community Page, and

Constable Croucher said he

“I get out and about as much
I can, go to schools and touch

it’s a great investment for the

“It is something I do, if I see

Extended hours for libraries
SELWYN LIBRARIES will
introduce extended opening
hours from Friday.
The new hours, which were announced
last August on trial basis,
have come about in response
to customer feedback and a
recent trial of extended Saturday
opening hours.
Community relations manager
Denise Kidd says the trial proved
very popular with library users
and will now be continued at
all library locations. Across the
district’s network of libraries, in
Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and
Rolleston, the hours will also be
more consistent.
Weekday hours at all four
libraries will be from 9am to
6pm, with Lincoln and Rolleston
libraries also remaining open
until 8pm on Thursday evenings.
Saturday opening will continue
at all four libraries, from 10am
to 4pm. Lincoln and Rolleston
libraries will also be open on
Sundays from 10am to 4pm.
The review of library services
also included changes to outreach
services, including the mobile
library. Data showed that usage
of the mobile library by children
at schools and pre-schools was
inconsistent, and general public
use of the service was also limited.
CHANGES: Libraries across the district will be open for longer
in the changes announced by the district council.
The council is actively exploring
different options to improve
the delivery of outreach services
and will be progressively implementing
changes over the coming
months. The aging mobile
library will eventually be decommissioned
and replaced with a
smaller vehicle that provides for a
broader range of uses associated
with outreach.
Ms Kidd says the council is in
communication with a number
of user groups, schools and preschools
about how it can offer
a more effective and efficient
service in the future.
“The new outreach service is
expected to provide a more flexible
and responsive service for
users,” she said.
“This will include programmes
delivered directly to more
remote schools and pre-schools,
increased availability of digital
resources and enhanced 24/7 digital
library, along with expanded
lifelong learning programmes
delivered at locations outside
libraries.”
The council has also confirmed
an increase in libraries staffing
numbers to support the longer
opening hours. Overall staffing
numbers at libraries will increase
from approximately 21 to 26 fulltime
equivalent positions.
Following a process of consultation
with staff, a total of 12
new roles have been established.
Seven positions have been disestablished
(of which three were
vacant at the time).
Staff whose positions were
disestablished or changed had
the opportunity to apply for or
express an interest in new roles
if they wished; some staff chose
to reapply, some staff chose to
progress with other options.
Ms Kidd says the changes are
aimed at ensuring that the libraries
have the right mix of skills available
to deliver the proposed services
and support the new hours.
“We are continuing to
build a great team of staff
across our libraries network,
and I’m confident the changes
will position us to meet
our changing communities’
expectations now and in the
future,” she says.

Sustainability key
to organic farming
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.
Hall ready for Friday’s
• By Anan Zaki
AFTER NEARLY nine
years of waiting, Lakeside’s
new memorial hall will
officially open on Friday.
The original Lakeside
Soldiers’ Memorial Hall
from 1917 was damaged
beyond repair after damage
from the September 4,
2010, earthquake.
Hall committee chairman
Dennis Carter says
the event will mark a significant
day for the town.
“Lakeside does not have
a church, school or a pub.
But it does have a hall.
The whole identity of the
district and the fact we can
say we come from Lakeside
is because the hall has been
rebuilt,” Mr Carter said.
Fifteen soldiers from
Lakeside were killed in
action in World War 1 and
World War 2, he said.
Fourteen of them were
killed in World War 1.
“About 22 per cent of
the soldiers that went
from Lakeside didn’t
come home. And the New
Zealand average was 18 per
cent,” Mr Carter said.
“So that tells you a
story about the First World
War.”
Inside the hall is an
honour board of those who
served in both world wars
and the Boer War, restored
photographs of soldiers
and a lithograph of statistics
and information about
World War 1.
The official ceremony
will commence with a
blessing by Ngai Tahu. A
Christian blessing will also
take place Mr Carter said.
There will also be a cake
and ribbon cutting event,
and speeches from special
guests.
The guests include
Mayor Sam Broughton and
SELWYN TIMES
Selwyn MP Amy Adams.
The event will also
include the planting of a
commemorative golden
totara tree and replacing
the sod which was
removed in the previous
ceremony which marked
the start of construction in
April last year.
Lakeside Soldiers’ Memorial
Hall project committee
member Alastair
Barnett said the hall is
unique due to its setting
and natural landscapes
surrounding it, including
unobstructed views of the
Southern Alps.
TEAM EFFORT:
Alastair Barnett
and Dennis Carter

Lakeside Soldiers
Memorial Hall.
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.

Takeaway Coffee Cups
go into the red bin!
Disposable takeaway coffee cups go in your red lid rubbish bin. They are lined with
plastic to make them waterproof so your drink doesn’t leak, but unfortunately this
makes them unable to be processed through the recycling plant.
Coffee cups can’t go in your organics bin either, even if it’s marketed as
“compostable” or “biodegradable”. We cannot currently accept these in our compost
process. Better yet, why not get a reusable coffee cup?

Steve Lowndes
Travelling the world paved way
Environment Canterbury
chairman Steve Lowndes
is not planning to run
in October’s local body
elections. Sophie Cornish
speaks to him about life
after local politics, Brexit,
and family
The ECan elections are
coming up this year and I
understand you may not be
running again, is that correct?
Yes, that’s my position at the
moment. It is never finally settled
until the time for nominations
to close, but at the moment, that
is what I am thinking. I will be
73 at the time of the election, I
would be 77 by the end of the
next term. I feel fit and well
enough but on the other hand
I really think a person younger
than me needs to take the lead.
There is nothing wrong with
being old, you have a degree of
wisdom and all those sorts of
things that are invaluable in local
government. But, the world is
changing very quickly and there
are a lot of very tough decisions
that need to be made. I am very
much aware that young people
are getting very concerned about
their future. It is they who need
to step up and get engaged in
local government. When I say
young, we have a councillor Lan
Pham. She’s terrific. She brings
an attitude and energy which is
inspiring to the council. There
are other younger councillors
too. I think it would be better
to step aside and let somebody
younger take over.
What will you do instead with
your time?
I have never been frightened
of time. I have done all sorts
of things in my life and being
frightened of time isn’t one of
them. I can paint, I can write,
I can do all sorts of things.
Nothing is ever really over, the
fact that I stepped down from
ECan doesn’t necessarily mean I
will completely leave the public
forum. I have no plans at all. It is
a wonderful space to be in, where
you don’t have to worry about
your future.
Tell me about the beginning
RELAXED:
ECan
chairman
Steve
Lowndes at
his Birdlings
Flat home.
of your career – how did it all
begin?
I was born and educated in
England and I went to art school
in the 1960s. My first job was as
an art teacher. After a little while
of that I thought: ‘Oh my god
am I going to be doing this for
the next 45 years?’ That sort of
freaked me out a little bit. So I got
a cargo boat to South America. I
ended up living there for a year
and a half year, mostly in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. I really enjoyed the
experience. From there I travelled
over land through South America
and Central America and the Caribbean
and the United States and
eventually arrived back in England.
And I thought: ‘Oh well that
was good.’ My ambition then was
to carry on. So I began working
in England again, as a publican,
which meant that I could save
money. I did that with my partner
Lisa Potts and then we set off on a
huge journey which basically took
us around the world.
Where did you travel to?
We went through Russia,
Afghanistan, Iran, around India
and ended up in Australia. On
our trip, we only took one tiny
aeroplane flight; the rest was by
truck and train. Australia was
very kind to us; we both became
Australian and lived there for a
while. Then we got a boat across
the Pacific and it called in at
Auckland. That was my first
experience of New Zealand, in
1974. Then our boat carried on
and went through the Panama
Canal and back to Europe. I then
lived in England again
and thought we would go travelling
once more. So we got a plane
to New York and brought a car
then started driving around the
US.
“I dream of a Pacific where this terrible disease has been eradicated and can no
longer cause fear, stigma and discrimination in families and communities.”
Lorena and three of her children were
diagnosed with leprosy.
Lorena says “Although our leprosy
could be cured, we knew that
sometimes there can be serious
effects from the disease, like
disabilities. I was terrified that more
of my children would get sick.
Then the Pacific Leprosy
Foundation started its new
programme which gives
medicine to the rest of the
family so that they are
much less likely to get
leprosy. It was wonderful
to have that reassurance!
I want to thank the Pacific
Leprosy Foundation for
giving us back our future.
Now I want the rest of the countries in the Pacific to be
able to take part in this programme, but I know that
costs a lot of money.”
Please can you help other families like Lorena’s to
be free from the fear of leprosy?
A gift of $35 will provide preventative treatment for
one household contact of a leprosy patient.
A gift of $420 enables the treatment of an average
household in Kiribati, Samoa or the Solomon
Islands.

We had all sorts of adventures
in the US and Canada. We ended
up in San Francisco. At that point
Lisa became pregnant and a
friend Robyn we were travelling
with said: ‘Why don’t you go to
New Zealand, it’s a great place
to have kids’. So we did that. In
retrospect it is hard to imagine
that we didn’t head home, but no,
we came to New Zealand. We arrived
and brought a van in 1979
and started driving around. We
ended up in Akaroa and Lisa saw
the hospital there and said: “This
is where I will have the baby.”
Julian is now nearly 40-years-old.
He has a sister Alicia and they
both live in Australia, one in Sydney
and one in Melbourne. Lisa
and I split up in about 1998 and
my partner now is Susan
Morrow. We live at Birdlings Flat
and have been here for 20 years.
Tell me about your life living
in Akaroa?
The peninsula for me was representative
of a community, I had
spent 13 years travelling around
the world, community was something
I didn’t have, I didn’t belong
somewhere. Akaroa had a population
of about 700 people, a little
more than it does currently. It was
a self-sustaining little community
based on farming and fishing,
quite different to what it is today.
It was really a holiday destination
for Cantabrians, before it was
discovered by international tourists,
that began to happen in the
mid-1980s. Now, it is somewhat
overrun by cruise ships. It’s not
quite the same place it was in the
1970s, which is what attracted me
to it, a part from the fact it was
devastatingly beautiful. When you
went to live there, people were delighted
to know you had chosen to
live in that community, so you felt

part of it straight away. I started
off as a builder’s labourer, building
an extension to the school. I
gradually started to do work at the
Akaroa Museum and eventually
the curator retired and I was hired
to curate the collection. I was
there for about 15 years. I ended
up being chairman of the Museums
Association of New Zealand.
What happened next?
Then I became a Banks Peninsula
district councillor, with a
gentleman named Bob Parker and
we disbanded ourselves. The district
council wasn’t bankrupt, but
it was heading that way. There was
only about 7000 ratepayers which
wasn’t enough when we had to pay
for all things tourism. We tried to
amalgamate with city council, but
the people of Christchurch said
no. They didn’t want to take on
Banks Peninsula. So we decided
to vote to abolish ourselves and
the city council had no option
but to take over, this was in about
2005-2006. I stood for the city
council in 2006, and was defeated
by Claudia Reid. Then I started
painting, which is where I began,
by going to art school in the first
place. In 2016, someone said to be
why don’t you stand for ECan in
the election. You may recall that
in 2010, the Government took
away the commission of the elected
members of ECan and replaced
them with seven commissioners.
That continued for two terms of
local government until 2016. Then
ECan was opened up to partial
democratic elections. The chairwoman
Margaret Bazley finished,
so that left six ex-commissioners.
There were seven elected members
and six were remains of the old
appointed councillors and that
situation still remains. When the
council convened for the first
time, they voted for David Bedford
into the chair, he was
one of the councillors. Unfortunately,
David wasn’t very well and
he died in February of last year.
For some time he had been unable
to fulfil his role. I had been elected
deputy chair and I became the
acting chair until he resigned and
then I was elected into the chair
role.

Although born and raised in the American Midwest, John Emery
has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling back and forth
between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass, New Zealand, where he
established a second home and studio in 2000. These places —
so far distant in miles and cultural experience — have distinctly
shaped Emery’s vision and art.
My painting process typically begins with a solitary object, my
sketchbook journal, or a bird’s song that triggers my curiosity,
a visual narrative is then constructed. As with all my works, some
elements become three-dimensional as I form them from paper,
the most versatile material I know. Thus, the tromp l’oeil illusion
of a painted object and the reality of a constructed object shift the
perspective and perception of the work and force the viewer to
consider the point where reality and the imagined meet.
The paintings, like memories, are often not what they seem.
The result is a personal narrative.

ECan chair not frightened by time
•From page 9
So the role for me has been one
of managing the council back
to full democracy, which will
take place in October. A thing I
have been keen to do is see that
climate change becomes front
and central of ECan’s thinking.
That has come about with the
newly-elected people who arrived
on council in 2016, they have
made a huge difference.
What did you learn from your
travelling experiences?
I feel sometimes that all the
roads I have travelled have led
to this point. So I have a huge
amount of experience of the
world at large and of different
kinds of people and how to deal
with them. I find all the skills I
learnt while travelling fit me very
well for the role of managing
a great number of people who
have very different and distinct
interests. It is really about people.
A Maori proverb that helps to
describe me politically is – He
aha te mea nui o te ao He tangata,
he tangata, he tangata. What is
the most important thing in the
world? It is the people, it is the
people, it is the people. People are
the same everywhere all around
the world, it doesn’t matter if
you meet an Indian on the banks
of the Amazon River or an
TALENT: Steve Lowndes has a love of art, especially painting.
American senator, we all laugh,
we all cry, we all smile. It’s the
universality of people. We are all
the same species.
How does living in England
compare to living in New
Zealand?
I have been here for 40 years,
my immediate family in England
has died, I have a few cousins
left, I write to them. England
is about the same size, but the
population of New Zealand is
what the population of England
was at the time of Henry VIII.
Now you have to imagine the
same land mass, with nearly 60
million people. It is nothing like
New Zealand. Last week, Sue and
I went to Jackson’s Bay, down
south. We stayed in a bach which
had no power, no connectivity.
When you walked to the beach,
there are no other houses, and
there is an absolutely stunning
empty landscape of mountains,
oceans, beaches. You would
have to go a long way in Britain
to find that, maybe in the north
of Scotland. It’s a completely
different experience living
here. It is one where we relate
very much to the land. At the
moment with Brexit, the English
have got themselves into a cleft
stick. They have this incredibly
binary situation to deal with,
half of them think they should
stay in the common market and
fight and the other half thinks
they should flee. Human beings
always have that decision, when
confronted with a situation, fight
or flight. It’s such a basic division
in our minds, I think that is
basically what is happening
with Brexit. So, I don’t envy the
English at all. I can’t even begin
to contemplate how I feel about
England anymore, because it
seems to belong to another era.
In the future when climate
change really begins to kick in,
New Zealand is wonderfully
placed to survive the worst
effects. We are surrounded by
ocean which takes away the
worst effects of heat, we can feed
ourselves, Australia can’t, Europe
can’t, 90 per cent of the world’s
population lives in the Northern
Hemisphere.
Tell me about your
family?
Julian, my son, works for
Skope, a Christchurch company
that makes refrigerators. He
manages their operations in
Australia. He has a son, who is
6-months-old. Alicia works for
an advertising agency called The
Monkeys, living in Melbourne
but she is going to come back
to New Zealand. She managed
to buy a third of a house in
Auckland in Pt Chevalier she’s
going to come back next month.
I am looking forward to her
coming back. My partner Sue’s
daughter Evie also lives in Pt
Chevalier, so those two are very
close.

Overhaul for school system
MANY STUDENTS in
Selwyn will be back at
school this week, hopefully
refreshed after the summer
holidays. While for many
parents and pupils it will
be a case of re-establishing
existing routines, for those
starting at a new school,
it can often be a bigger
process of adjustment.
In the broader context,
our entire school system
looks set for a major overhaul
following the release
late last year of a report by
an independent taskforce
into New Zealand’s education
system. This report
recommended radical
changes to the way our
schools are run including
removing most of the powers
currently held by school
boards of trustees. Under
the proposed reforms, the
Ministry of Education’s 10
regional offices would be
replaced with 20 education
hubs, each responsible for
around 125 schools.
Each of these hubs would
take over responsibility for
schools’ property, funding
and student achievement
and the hiring of school
principals, as well as coordinating
pools of relief teachers
and teacher aides for the
schools in the hub area.
Amy Adams
Selwyn MP
While some school
boards do struggle with
managing their responsibilities
currently, many are
working extremely well. It
is therefore important that
parents understand the
impact of these changes
would which remove a lot
of decision-making abilities
from school communities.
It is proposed under the
new system that schools
would get less funding
for students from outside
their enrolment zone and
the number of out-of-zone
students would be capped
at each school.
A significant change for
integrated schools would
be that they would no longer
be allowed to select outof-zone
or non-preference
students and would instead
have to hold a ballot in
the same manner as state
schools. This change may
affect some families living
in Selwyn hoping to send
their children to integrated
schools in Christchurch.
The report also recommends
a major redistribution
of resources so that
priority is first given to
meeting the needs of students
from disadvantaged
backgrounds.
This follows on from work
that the previous National
Government had initiated
to replace the current decile
system with funding targeted
towards students with
specific risk factors.
Public consultation on
the recommendations of
the Tomorrow’s Schools
Review taskforce is open
until April 7 this year.
•The full report is at

tomorrows-schoolsreview/
•I will also be hosting
an information evening
on the proposals in
Rolleston during March
for those who would like
to find out more or share
their views on how the
proposed reforms may
affect schooling here in

Daddy Cool frontman comes back
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL: Australian singer Ross Wilson will perform at
Selwyn Sounds 2019.
• By Anan Zaki
THE FORMER frontman of a
popular Australian rock band is
coming back to the country for
the first time in more than 30
years.
Ross Wilson was the lead
singer of Melbourne-based band
Daddy Cool and will play solo at
Selwyn Sounds on March 2.
It’s also the first time that
the 71-year-old Australian will
perform solo in NZ.
“I’m happy to be coming
back. I’m sorry it took so long,”
Wilson said.
When he last performed in
the country in the 1980s, it was
as the lead singer with Daddy
Cool.
“[They] were quite big in New
Zealand, we played there three
times,” Wilson said.
“But for some reason I hadn’t
played there as a solo artist so
I’m looking forward to it.”
Unfortunately for Daddy Cool
fans, Wilson says the band won’t
perform again following the
deaths of two band members,
Ross Hannaford and Wayne
Duncan.
Daddy Cool’s last performance
was in 2014 when they
were inducted in the Victorian
Music Hall of Fame.
He says often
plays songs from
his bands Daddy
Cool and also
Mondo Rock
during his solo
performances.
“I have plans
probably in
about a year’s
time where I just
play Daddy Cool
music.”
Wilson’s music career
launched in 1964, and he is not
showing any sign of slowing
down.
“This year, I’m already booked
out solidly until the end of August.
I’m playing a couple of gigs
a week, festivals and a bunch
of stuff with John Farnham
headlining.”
“Just in support of him because
I wrote four songs that he
recorded over the years,” Wilson
said.
He last visited Christchurch
a year before the February 22,
2011, earthquake.
“I played on a little cruise that
went from Australia, it stopped
in Fiordland, Dunedin and then
Christchurch,” Wilson said.
“Because I was so upset about
the earthquake, having just
Jon Stevens
Leo Sayer
been there [a year before], I feel
like I have a connection.”
Wilson will land in Christchurch
the day before the March 2
Selwyn Sounds. He hopes to get
a chance to explore the city and
its surrounds while here.
“I’m not sure how long we’re
going to be staying there, but it’s
usually fly in and fly out . . . I’m
hoping we get a day afterwards
and enjoy Christchurch and the
area.”
Selwyn Sounds 2019 will be
headlined by the Little River
Band, supported by Leo Sayer,
John Stevens, The Golden Kiwis,
Peter Urlich, Midge Marsden,
Automatic 80s and Wilson.
•Selwyn Sounds will be
held on Saturday, March 2,
at the Lincoln Domain.

Backyard Critters
Spider comes out at
night to catch its prey
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 of
invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/
backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln
A VERY colourful spider I’ve
observed around my Lincoln
section is an endemic orb
web spider called novaranea
queribunda.
The 5-7mm long spider is
the most colourful of the orb
web spiders and is found in
the North, South and Stewart
islands.
Spider colours can vary
greatly, including various
shades of green, yellow and
redish-brown.
They also have a very hairy
cephalothorax – that’s the fused
head and thorax structure in
spiders.
This spider species makes
its web in early evening and
removes it just before dawn.
The species often creates
stabilimenta, a thicker, more
conspicuous, non-capture silk
structure in the middle of its
web.
There is considerable debate
NIGHT OPERATOR: This

on the function of these
structures.
One suggestion is that
stabilimenta stop birds
plundering into them. Perhaps
more spiders need to use these
more conspicuous webs to stop
us humans walking into them.
Break from parenting
TWO HOURS, mini golf and
frozen yoghurt made a whole
week for Laura and I.
I can almost guarantee that it’s
not restricted to families where
one of the parents is at home
full-time, but until recently it had
been six months since Laura and
I had been on a date. That’s been
hard.
You get all caught up in
parenting and such that you can
forget what it’s like spending time
with the person you’ve chosen to
share your life with.
Getting a little bit of that for
a couple of hours was a great
feeling and has, honestly, left a
positive mark on the whole week.
And all of that was thanks to
the willingness of my mum and
step-dad to wade into the fray
that is looking after a wee angel
going through some serious
separation anxiety.
Every week, at least once,
Vittoria and I stay out at their
place in Waikuku Beach so I can
go to training with my North
Canterbury-based dragon boat
club.
It makes it easier for me, gives
Laura a wee break and a chance
for Vittoria to see some of her
grandparents.
Unfortunately, since Christmas,
and since Vittoria’s sense of
VITTORIA
& Matt
self-awareness has increased,
seeing me walk out the door in
training gear sets off some serious
waterworks.
Any parent will likely have a
story about the heartbreak of
seeing their wee one balling their
eyes out as they walk out. Like out
for a five minute trip to the shop,
or to work, or something.

For Vittoria, the heartbreak
usually lasts for a long time and
then starts again when I get back,
I guess to tell me off.
So asking them to come
into town to do the same
seemed like a big ask. How
would you feel asking someone
to spend a couple hours with
someone who actively lets them
know that they are horrifically
sad they aren’t you?
But this time, our charming
wee daughter was so well behaved
(and was so incredibly cute) that
my mum and step-dad offered
to sit her again so we can see a
movie. Just imagine this sentence
is a guy doing a little excited
dance, any kind you like.
Hopefully she’ll start being
good in North Canterbury.

2019 Skope Classic - Car Racing like no other!
Come along to the 28th edition of the
Canterbury Car Club’s Skope Classic at
the Mike Pero Motorsport Park, Ruapuna
on February 1-3, where the actionpacked
calendar includes Mainland
Muscle Cars, vintage racing, and sports
cars, along with classic single seaters and

One of the most iconic racing events
in New Zealand, suitable for all ages, the
event will once again headline the popular
Formula 5000 single seater revival, along
with a strengthening Historic Touring
car category.
On the Sunday there will be specific
activities just for kids, including a bouncy
castle, face painting and, as always, you
can walk through the pits, meet the
drivers, teams and get to the all of the
cars up close and personal!

School’s back
take care on crossings
Selwyn District Council is asking drivers to stay alert for children as schools return during the coming week.
Over 9,500 Selwyn children will be travelling to school. Many of these young people will be getting off
and on school buses, in and out of cars and walking, biking and scooting to and from school.
School Road Safety Coordinator Stephanie Hautler reminds drivers that the only time drivers must stop
for pedestrians is on a pedestrian (zebra) crossing, at a school road patrol or kea crossing when the stop
lollipops are out, and when pedestrians have a green man at traffic signals.
A crossing point is an area that has been deemed by Council as the best place for pedestrians to
cross the road. It may have kerb buildouts to shorten the crossing distance and some may have a
pedestrian refuge in the middle of the road to cross the road in stages.
Pedestrians need to stop, look and listen before crossing the road at a cross point, and just like any
other section of road, vehicles have the right of way.
“I often see drivers stopping to let children cross at cross points. Although drivers may think it’s
courteous stopping in the lane, it’s incredibly dangerous and setting our children up for failure.
Children may develop an expectation that all vehicles will stop for them,” says Mrs Hautler.
Road safety educational resources for parents and children are available from Selwyn District Council.
Email stephanie.hautler@selwyn.govt.nz or phone 347 2705.
New easy to remember library
and service centre hours
Selwyn Libraries and service centres* will have new easy to remember hours of operation from
Friday 1 February 2019.
The changes are in response to customer research and a trial of extended opening hours undertaken
in 2018. Opening hours have been extended and standardised across the district, with the overall total
opening hours across the network increasing from 196 hours to 220 hours a week. The new hours are:
· Monday to Friday 9am–6pm (Lincoln and Rolleston open to 8pm on Thursdays).
· Saturday 10am–4pm
· Sunday 10am–4pm at Lincoln and Rolleston. Closed at Darfield and Leeston.
Alongside the extended hours, the digital and electronic resources are available 24/7.
*changes do not apply to the Rolleston Service Centre at Council Headquarters on Norman Kirk Drive
Have your say – Earthquake Prone Priority
Buildings and Strategic Routes
Your place to meet, discover and connect
We’re currently consulting on the proposed Earthquake Prone Priority Buildings and Strategic Routes.
The Council is welcoming submissions or comments on the Council’s proposal for roads, footpaths
and thoroughfares which should be prioritised because of the risk associated with the collapse of
unreinforced buildings in an earthquake, and to identify and prioritise any strategic emergency routes
that may be impeded by building collapse. On 1 July 2017, changes were introduced to the Building
Act 2004 which affect the way earthquake-prone buildings are identified and managed. One of the
changes provides for public consultation, to assist Council to identify the most vulnerable buildings
(earthquake-prone buildings which could pose a danger) on routes where there are high numbers of
vehicles and pedestrian traffic, or are of strategic importance.
Changes to the Act shorten the time frames for identifying, strengthening or demolishing earthquakeprone
buildings. Once the owners of priority buildings have been notified by Council, they have 7.5
years to strengthen or demolish the building(s). This is a much shorter time frame than the Act allows
for other earthquake-prone buildings (15 years).
We propose to prioritise the following thoroughfares:
1. High Street Southbridge from Hastings Street to St James Street
2. High Street Leeston from Market Street to Anderson Square.
No strategic routes have been identified that would be impeded by a building collapse which don’t have
an alternative access option.
To view the Statement of Proposal (SOP) and to make a submission, go to www.selwyn.govt.nz/
eqpronebuildings. Hard copy SOPs and submission forms are also available at all Council Service
Centres and libraries.
Selwyn Libraries celebrate
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is the biggest festival in China, celebrated over
15 days with fireworks, lantern displays, and traditional lion and
dragon dances. This year on Tuesday 5 February is the beginning
of the Year of the Pig.
Selwyn Libraries are offering Chinese New Year craft activities
during February including lantern and origami making.
For more information go to selwynlibraries.co.nz.
Council services on Waitangi Day
On Wednesday 6 February some Council services may be closed or
unavailable due to the Waitangi Day public holiday.
Council buildings in Rolleston, all libraries and service centres,
Rolleston Community Centre, West Melton Community and
Recreation Centre and Lincoln Event Centre will be closed.
The Selwyn Aquatic Centre will be open from 8am–8pm. Sheffield,
Darfield and Southbridge pools will be open 1pm–7pm. Pines
Resource Recovery Park will be open from 9am–4.30pm.
Bin collections will occur as normal.
Lakeside Soldiers Memorial
Hall opening
Selwyn District Council is hosting an official opening of the Lakeside
Soldiers Memorial Hall on Friday 1 February at 4pm.
The community celebration will start with a welcome and a karakia
followed by light refreshments. The opening ceremony will begin at
around 4pm.
The hall was rebuilt in 2018 to serve the local rural community and
maintain its status as a soldier’s war memorial. It will be used for
local groups, charity groups, agricultural training and special events.
Tenth year of 100% dog
registration in Selwyn district
For the tenth consecutive year Selwyn District Council has achieved
100% re-registration of known dogs for the year.
This is based on dogs registered in the 2017/18 year which were
still on the Council’s records. There are now 13,659 dogs registered
for the 2018/19 year.
Senior Animal Control Officer Steve Clarke says that result indicates
that Selwyn is a dog-friendly district, where dog owners are
responsible and take good care of their pets.
“People love their dogs and are usually more than happy to pay the
registration fee to avoid seizure,” he says. “The Dog Control Act
gives Council officers power to seize any unregistered dogs, but
thankfully it hasn’t come to that.”
Mr Clarke says a number of factors contribute to the Council
maintaining its 100% registration, as required by law. This includes
the comparatively low fees for registering their dogs and Council’s
online payment service.
“The fee is discounted if it’s paid in July, with the full fee payable
from August. If fees are not paid the dog owner can expect an
infringement notice.”
“Online registration has made it even easier for people to register
their dogs – 1322 of our owners used our Dogs Online website to
make alterations to their record with 914 of them using it to pay
the registration. Of our 8519 owners, 7122 received their renewal
notices via email.”
At the end of the 2017/18 registration year, there were 13,524 dogs
registered with Council which was up from 13,202 in the 2016/17 year.

The simple but profound
truth that inspired Maria
Montessori’s lifelong pursuit
of educational reform was that
children teach themselves.
At Burnham Country Montessori
teachers help to cultivate each
child’s natural love of learning
and inquisitiveness, facilitating
children in developing a complete
personality which allows them to
become independent learners.
When children fully engage with
their learning the experiences
become more memorable, helping
lay down the foundations for school
life ahead.
At Burnham Country Montessori,
children have enriching encounters
in an extremely unique and
spacious country setting. The
children learn about the world
around them, enjoying country
walks and connecting and caring
for animals; feeding lambs,
chickens and pigs.
The large open and well-resourced
playgrounds at Burnham Country

NEW CHiLdCARE
CENTREs iN sELWYN
The demand for early learning
and childcare facilities in Selwyn
continues to grow.
With a young population filling new subdivisions, the need
for these facilities is higher than ever before. In fact, many
are already at maximum capacity and have waiting lists.
Enrolling your child early is a must.
Last year saw the opening of Annabel’s West
Melton Preschool on Kingsdowne Drive and
the latest centre to open is Three Trees
located at 26 Dynes Rd, Rolleston. This will
soon be followed by BestStart Faringdon
East on Maddison East Road and plans
are in motion for another two childcare
centres in Rolleston.
The fast rate at which these centres are
appearing is confirmation of the growing
need to cater to young families within the
district.
Check

this publication, visit
their websites, and
make appointments to
visit so you can make
an informed choice for
your child’s care and
early learning
development.

Developing Children’s Potential
Our Vision is to enhance the mana of the child. Our
environment is inclusive, family-focused and empowering,
a care and education curriculum that enhances the
capacity to learn and develop children to their full
potential, in line with the Te Whāriki (New Zealand) early
childhood curriculum.
We endeavour to provide an atmosphere that is warm,
accepting and welcoming to both children and families.
Our emphasis is on maintaining a home like environment,
which allows age groups to spend time together, across
a Nursery, Toddlers room and 2 Preschool rooms. We
operate an open-door policy, where parents and family are
welcomed into the centre at any time. We believe parent
participation sends strong positive messages to the child
that they are supported and are part of the childcare
environment.
The centre’s spaciousness is appealing to both the
children and parents who appreciate the play and learning
opportunities provided at Blossoms Educare. Learning
through play is our focus, and we believe children learn by
having hands on experiences where they test their own
theories and challenge themselves.
As a neighbour, Blossoms Educare and West Rolleston
Primary School have developed a close relationship.
Children soon to graduate participate in a Transition to
Schools programme, visiting the new entrants classroom
up to 4 times a term.

sELWYN PARENTiNG
NETWORK
Parenting... it’s often described as the hardest yet most rewarding
experience a person can have! An opportunity to nurture from infancy
- promoting and supporting all the physical, emotional, social and
intellectual needs of our children, and empowering them into adulthood...
and yes: it sure can be a busy rollercoaster of incredible moments,
euphoric highs, and of course more challenging and tougher times
too. Selwyn Parenting Network (SPN) was born from a desire and belief
that all families should have access to active support, resources and
understanding. We know that parenting can be tough, but we also know
that with the ‘right help at the right time’ the lives of parents, carers and
children can be transformed.
Since the inception of our charitable organisation over six years ago,
the purpose of our work has remained the same: To strengthen Selwyn
communities by providing support to local parents and caregivers of
children of any age. We have fast become a local ‘parent advice bureau’
within the rapidly expanding Selwyn region: a network that can facilitate
your needs as a parent/caregiver and put you in touch with many specific
service providers and wider community organisations, all of whom can
support and empower you to fulfil your role with the skills, resources and
contacts that you need.
As we forge forward into 2019 we welcome you to follow us on our various
digital platforms - including our social media accounts on Facebook &
Instagram - where you can keep up to date with all that we are planning
within the community; access links to valuable resources and informative
articles; book places for one-off guest speaker evenings, and of course
attend our two annual flagship events including Children’s Day NZ and
Family Fun Day in October.
To this end, we warmly invite you ALL to be a part of our 2019 SPN
Children’s Day Event on Sunday 3rd March (12pm - 3pm) proudly
brought to you with the support of our principal sponsors Faringdon. We
encourage you and the whole family to pack your drink bottles, sunhats
and picnic rugs, and head on down to enjoy a wide range of fun free
activities and entertainment at our venue of choice: Foster Park, Rolleston.
Lock in the date now! We cannot wait to see you there for a fun filled day
to celebrate our children - Its totally FREE for all!

CHiLdCARE
Here at Prebbleton Childcare
(Nursery, Preschool &

important for children to feel
secure and valued when in
our care.
It is our ongoing vision
to create ‘The Next
Best Place to

representing
a place of
sanctuary and
comfort , a
place where
we can be with
our family, relax,
laugh, be heard
and be accepted.
This notion of home
underpins the service
we offer our families.
We feel it is important for
children to engage with
and explore a natural
environment and to have
fun while doing so. With
this in mind we offer large,
well considered play spaces,
plenty of natural resources,
large trees (attracting bird
life) and an earthy colour
palette throughout (to reflect
our rural roots). We have
organic gardens, chickens
that lay eggs, rabbits, guinea pigs
and budgies. Our pets are apart of
our centre family.
We believe it is essential to have
teachers who are warm, caring
and demonstrate a passionate
commitment to teaching children
to be ‘lifelong learners’ all while
fostering strong relationships
with children and families.
We have carefully selected
our teaching team
because they are able
to demonstrate these
qualities that are
so important to our
service.
With this in mind we
hope you feel like you
have come home when
you walk through our door!

fOsTER THE
LOvE Of
REAdiNG
What greater gift to give to a child than
the love of reading and appreciation of
books. It’s never too early to introduce
books and start reading to your children.
Keep it short and simple
Toddlers need to move, so don’t worry if they act out
stories or just skip, romp, or tumble as you read to
them. They may be moving, but they are listening.
TIP: Toddlers frequently have shorter attention spans
than babies. Look for text that is short and simple.
Read a little bit, several times a day.
Choose fun, engaging books
Books featuring animals or machines invite
movement and making sounds. Books with flaps or
different textures to touch keep hands busy. Books
with detailed illustrations or recurring items
hidden in the pictures are great for exploring and
discussing. TIP: Pause to let your toddler finish
a phrase or chant a refrain. Once your toddler is
familiar with the rhyme or pattern, make mistakes
on purpose and get caught.
Make it an adventure
Choose books about everyday experiences and
feelings. Your child will identify with the characters
as they dress, eat, visit, nap, and play. TIP: Set up a
zoo with all the stuffed animals. Stage a race with
the toy cars. Dress up as characters from a favourite
story.
Ask questions
Take time to listen to your toddler’s answers.
Toddlers have strong opinions and interesting ideas
about the world. Encourage your toddler to tell you
what he or she thinks. You’ll build language skills
and learn what makes your toddler tick at the same
time. TIP: use this as special one-on-one time with
your child.
Make it fun
Read favourite stories again and
again. Seek out books about
things your toddler especially
likes — trains, animals, the
moon. These books may
extend a toddler’s attention
span and build enthusiasm for
reading. TIP: Try a different story
or a different time during the day.
Reading with a very young child is
primarily about building positive
experiences with books, not finishing every book you
start.
For more information and great ideas for reading to
children of all ages, visit www.readingrockets.org
SELWYN TIMES
BABIES & BOOKS
Babies start learning as soon as
they are born so it’s never too
early to read to your baby. Get
into the habit of reading to your
child regularly with baby friendly
books designed to be fun with
bright colours and simple
pictures. TIP: Keep a little board
book in your handbag or nappy
bag to keep baby entertained
when in waiting rooms, etc
READING TO OLDER CHILDREN
It’s easy to send older children
off to bed with a book, but they
also love to be read to or, in turn,
read aloud to you. It’s also a great
opportunity to have special time
with an older child and discover
what they know about the world.
TIP: Ask your older child to read
to younger siblings; it can be a
great learning time for everyone!
Empowering children with a holistic approach
Providing a supportive environment where tamariki are
encouraged to develop confidence by being able to take
risks, and are affirmed as capable learners, is the key for
learning at Paradise for Little Angels in Rolleston.
Owners Marianna and Michael Inch ensure that tamariki
within their centre are empowered and encouraged to
reflect on their own learning process. All learners and their
learning are seen as competent and respected, making
a valued contribution to our local schools and wider
community.
“It’s all about quality care and education, where tamariki
are free to run, have fun, burn energy and just be kids”.
says Marianna who adds that outdoor play is important to
a child’s development and Paradise provides this with its
1500 square meter natural environment.
Children’s cultures are highly visual in the environment.
Teachers acknowledge the cultural skills and expertise
that parents bring to the service and use these well in the
programme. Teachers encourage tamariki to develop
their social competence through a range of meaningful
contexts such as problem solving and creative play (ERO
2017)
Since 2016, Paradise for Little Angels has adopted a
Reggio Emilia approach to their learning and their tamariki
have loved exploring projects on their own interests. The
centre also works closely with local school who share their
passion for this learning philosophy.
Infants and toddlers have time and space to freely
explore the well-resourced and inviting environment.
(ERO 2017). If you want your child to explore nature at its
best, experiencing trees and adventure gardens, water
slides, and have your 4 year old experience a sleepover
at preschool, feel free to have a look at Paradise for Little
Angels.
“A child’s
development
is like the
opening of a
flower bud”

RECYCLEd uNdER
sEATsMART RECYCLiNG
PROGRAMME
The SeatSmart recycling programme is
removing potentially unsafe child car seats
from circulation and making journeys safer.
The Council partnered with
Seatsmart in March 2016 to
have old car seats recycled at a
heavily subsidised rate. 186 car
seats have been dropped off at
the Pines Resource Recovery
Park which equals 651kg of
plastic and 93kg of metal being
diverted from landfill.
Selwyn residents can take their
unwanted car seats to the Pines
Resource Recovery Park for a $15
charge (normally $25).
The seats are dismantled
through social enterprise groups
or Department of Corrections
community work programmes. The
recovered plastic is recycled into
products for the building industry,
metal parts are taken to metal
recyclers, and the harnesses will be
used by Karkt NZ and The Green
Collective who make handmade
bags.
Booster and convertible seats can be
recycled through the programme,
along with capsules, but polystyrene
seats are not part of the programme.
Selwyn School Road Safety
Coordinator Stephanie Hautler says
all car seats have an expiry date
on them and over time seats can
be damaged from uV light, heat,
general wear and tear or in a crash.
You can find information about
how to check a seats expiry date at
seatsmart.co.nz.
Locally, the Council has trained

Looking for an early childhood centre that provides quality
education and care for your child?
Enrolling your child at The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery
Rolleston or West Melton will give them the best start to a
lifetime of learning!
The Cat’s Pyjamas centres have been well supported by the
Selwyn community since they opened 10 years ago in Rolleston
and 7 years ago in West Melton.
“It’s wonderful having age appropriate rooms, higher teacher/

resources and equipment where children can have lots of fun
whilst learning,” says Tracy Summerfield, who with husband
Gavin, own and operate The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery
centres in West Melton and Rolleston.
“We have wonderful teachers, great family support and
really feel part of our communities.” A lot of thought goes into
delivering a stimulating programme that enriches the learning for
children.
With meaningful experiences, like special visits from the
residents of Fitzroy of Merivale Resthome and the SPCA, and
excursions an important part of The Cat’s Pyjamas’ programme,
the children will again enjoy pursuing their interests with unique
experiences into the community like travelling on a bus and
visiting places such as the Te Taumutu Marae, The Airforce
Museum of NZ, and the Isaac Theatre Royal.
“We love making learning fun and instilling in children a
passion for learning through play,” adds Tracy.

A HEALTHY ANd
ACTivE LifEsTYLE
Regular active play, limited sitting and enough good-quality sleep
are important for a young child’s healthy growth and development.
Sit Less
1. Provide regular activity breaks to limit the amount
of time a child spends sitting.
2. Discourage screen time for under-two-year-olds
and limit screen time to less than one hour every
day for children aged two years or older – less is best!
3. Limit time in equipment that restricts free
movement.
Move More
1. Provide fun activities that support physical, social,
emotional and spiritual growth (at least three hours
every day for toddlers and preschoolers, spread
throughout the day).
2. Include plenty of opportunities for active
play: – that develop movement competence and
confidence – that provide sufficient challenges to
build resilience and encourage creativity through
exploration – where children are by themselves as
well as interacting with others, such as parents,
siblings, friends, whānau/family and other caregivers
– that include a variety of indoor and outdoor
activities, especially activities involving nature.
Sleep Well
1. Babies (birth to three months) should
have 14 to 17 hours good-quality
sleep every day, including daytime
sleeps centred round their physical
and emotional needs.
2. Infants (four to twelve months) should
have 12 to 15 hours good-quality sleep
every day, including daytime sleeps,
which will tend to decrease as they get
closer to one year of age.
3. Toddlers (one to two years inclusive)
should have 11 to 14 hours of goodquality
sleep every day, including at least
one daytime sleep.
4. Pre-schoolers (three to four years
inclusive) should have 10 to 13 hours
of good-quality sleep every day, with
consistent bedtimes and wake-up times.

Innovative nature based childcare
Now opeN IN RollestoN
A state of the art early childhood education centre
has been built in Rolleston. Opened last week the
Three Trees Learning Centre has been architecturally
designed to optimise learning on its 3,050 square
metres of land, next door to Foster Park. Children
at the centre will be able to explore and develop in
a fun yet nurturing environment with the freedom
to lead their own learning through uninhibited
discovery with an on-site forest and strong nature/
outdoor focus. “Children learn most effectively
when connecting deeply with nature through play
experiences,” advises Jenny who with business
partner, Libby will operate the Three Trees Learning
Centre.
Drawing on popular early childhood philosophies,
the Three Trees Learning Centre’s uniquely holistic
way will integrate the best learning practices of the
Reggio Emilia approach. Respectful relationships and
primary care giving will be important factors while
taking learning out of the classroom and into a natural
environment will offer amazing experiences that aid
each child’s physical and intellectual growth, social
and emotional skills, and general health and wellbeing.
The Three Trees Learning Centre’s philosophy
emphasises respect for its tamariki. This includes the
children’s unique attributes and origins while trusting
them to investigate, explore and be curious so they
become resilient, persistent learners.
Primary care giving and respectful relationships
with their peers, along with freedom to explore
through natural discovery will be key principles. With
low ratios ensuring small group sizes, the teachers/
kaiako will work with the children in a nurturing,
encouraging and inspiring way, sharing their
discoveries and forming strong bonds with them.
Registered teachers, Jenny and Libby worked
with the architects, bringing their knowledge of early
learning and vision of a dream centre to life “It’s
taken considerable thought and planning. Children
at our early childcare centre will have an amazing
experience,” commented Libby Cunniffe Director.
The centre is well-ventilated and
acoustically designed, supporting the
health and well-being of the children
and staff. With it opening to the
outdoors whether rain or shine, the
children will have freedom to play
outside (dressed accordingly).
There will also be flexibility in
transitioning so each child can
progress at their own pace, with
a collaborative approach taken
where the child, their whānau and
their primary caregiver are involved
and there is smooth transition from the
beginning.
The Three Trees Learning Centre will cater for
babies and children from 0-6 years of age, providing
all meals and items such as nappies and wipes and
will be open from 7.30am until 6pm, weekdays. If you
would like to learn more about Three Trees Learning
Centre, go to www.threetreeslearningcentre.co.nz
and check their Facebook page where you can follow
the centre’s progress and share in its emerging story.
With nature we live, through nature we learn.

Animal Evac New Zealand, an
organisation dedicated to the rescue of
animals in the event of a disaster, has just
presented a comprehensive report on
animal disaster law reform at Parliament.
The presentation, authored by Animal
Evac co-founder Steve Glassey and
supported by MP Gareth Hughes, was
launched with guest speaker Craig
Fugate, the former Director of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
via video conference who spoke about
the need to have animals included in
emergency plans.
Making sure animal welfare is catered for in the event
of a disaster is a nationwide concern.
The report found that New Zealand had
not learned the lessons from Hurricane
Katrina, as the US had; nor had it learned
the lessons from many domestic civil
defence emergencies and Mr Glassy
warns that “every day we choose not
to act, we place in harm’s way not only
animals but humans who care about
them too”.
Animal Evac New Zealand is a charity
comprised of Regional Coordinators
who work with Civil Defence Emergency
Management Groups to ensure the needs
of animals are better served in future
emergencies. Steve Glassey and Theresa
Parkin formed the charity in 2018,
following the devastating Edgecumbe
flood, which saw over 1,000 animals left
behind in need of rescue.
While there is a primary focus on
companion animals, Animal Evac
works to advocate for all animals that
are vulnerable or affected by disasters.
A national pool of trained Animal Evac
volunteers is currently being established
throughout New Zealand to provide
surge capacity in support of regional
animal welfare emergency response.
TrAineD volunTeers wAnTeD
Animal Evac is currently recruiting volunteers throughout New Zealand in Wellington, Auckland,
Christchurch and Palmerston North with applications now open for their 2019 Foundation Course.

It is time to make those New Year
resolutions so why not begin 2019 by
taking some time for yourself and joining
one of the wide range of nightclasses that
are on offer at Papanui High School.
The start of a new year is the ideal
opportunity to get inspired to get out and
learn something new and meet some new
people? Classes for Term 1 begin from
Monday 11 February and the options are
extensive from Art to Yoga and everything
in between we are sure regardless of your
age or interest you will find something
to tempt you. Classes at Papanui High
School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed
environment and our tutors are supportive
and well qualified in their chosen fields.
One of our new courses on offer is
Cake Design, taught by Paula Profitt from
Sweet Revenge Bakery. Paula is a very
experienced Cake Designer and she will
teach students how to layer and fill and ice
a cake to a smooth finish, piping techniques
and the art of a good drizzle along with
mirror glazes and chocolate decorations.
You will also learn how to make fondant
cake toppers in various styles.
For further information and enrolment
in any of our courses please visit our
website www.papanui.school.nz go to the
Adult Education tab at the top right of the
screen and then browse courses, or email
Barbara Roper rpb@papanui.school.nz
or telephone our office on 3520701.
New experiences at WEA
It is almost time for the new term to
start here at the Canterbury Workers
Educational Association (WEA). Just as the
new year brings a chance for us all to reflect
and set goals for positive change in the year
ahead, so to does the new school year for
us at the WEA, as we plan and schedule
courses, talks and learning opportunities
across the coming months. Positive change
(whether for personal or planetary gain)
is what the WEA is all about and we are
excited to offer plenty to support positive
change in the Term 1 programme (which
runs February 11th to April 7th).
With new courses in printmaking and
creative writing, and workshops ranging
from crafting feminism to renaissance
dance there is plenty to help you get creative
this summer.
We also have talks coming up from and
about some truly inspiring people and
organisations. We will be joined by Mojo
Mathers on 20th February (New Zealand’s
first deaf Member of Parliament) for a
look at why disability representation in
politics matters for all of us. Then during
Seaweek (6th March) we will hear from the
volunteers at Sea Shepherd on the threats
to our underwater ecosystems and the
work they are doing to protect them. There
are also talks about Marie Curie, Ernest
Shackleton and William Morris to mention
but a few.
For those wanting to take action in their
own lives to make a difference, a course in
taking sustainability to the next level will
be on Wednesday evenings (it even has
dinner included) followed by one on how
to live well with less (Living Tiny(er)) on
Thursday evenings.
All in all there are more than 40 listed

combines artistic and digital talents, then
this outstanding, FREE, entry level course
delivered by local Training Provider
Trainme, is perfect for those wishing to
pursue, graphic design, photography or
digital media as a career.
The course covers the introduction to
media techniques such as drawing and
photography. Students will learn to use
design software and create their own design
concepts while collaborating with other
students on creative projects.
This course is FREE to students aged 16
to 19 and they only have to have NCEA 1
to join. Students without NCEA 1 can be
admitted, if they show artistic or digital
aptitude.
“Many feel that school is not working for
them or they left without qualifications,”
says Rhys Pollard, Marketer with tertiary
educator Trainme. “While not necessarily
academically minded, they do
have artistic talents and are very
much into digital technology.”
“This FREE six-month
Trainme course, combines
these in a very hands-on,
practical way, giving them an
intro into various digital media.
This way, they can decide which
direction to pursue as their
career focus.”
“As an NZQA approved
programme, NCEA credits
are built in, so if they apply
SELWYN TIMES
themselves, they can graduate with a New
Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design
Level 2, as well as gaining credits towards
NCEA level 1 or 2.” Says Pollard.
“NCEA results will depend on how many
credits they bring to the course to start
with, but as it’s a fun subject, it won’t feel
like school at all.”
Successful Graduates from this
programme could pathway into higher
study in media arts, which could include
graphic design, video production,
photography or one of the many emerging
digital-based careers. Places are limited, so
students are encouraged to apply as soon as
they can.

A WIN for Leeston-Southbridge
on Saturday has kept them in
touch with country premier
one-day cricket competition
leaders Southbrook.
Southbrook cruised past
Oxford’s 109 runs with six
wickets to spare, while Tim
Gruijters led the way for
Leeston-Southbridge in their sixwicket
win over Darfield at the
Darfield Domain. Gruijters’ 3-11
off nine overs helped restrict
Darfield to 102 all out.
Leeston-Southbridge’s middleorder
combination of Ben
Chamberlain (44 not out) and
Ben Donkers (37) then lifted the
run chase out of danger when
they were in early trouble at 9/3.
The win maintained Leeston-
Southbridge’s grip on second
place. Kaiapoi and Sefton also
had wins over the weekend.
Only run-rate separates the
teams in fourth and sixth on the
table, with Oxford, Cheviot and
Kaiapoi all on 27 competition
points after nine rounds.
A century from Fraser Sheat
helped Sefton to victory over
Weedons by five wickets.
Weedons’ 210/9 was no match
for Sheat’s 104 off 92 balls.
Cheviot’s choice to bat first
against Kaiapoi soon back-fired
as they were reduced to 17/7.
They were eventually
dismissed for 70, with Raj Saini
and Wayne Bell taking three
wickets each. Kaiapoi cruised to
their target for the loss of just
four wickets.
On Saturday, Weedons
will host Darfield, Leeston-
Southbridge will welcome
Kaiapoi, Oxford will travel to
Cheviot, and Southbrook and
Sefton will battle it out at the
Southbrook Domain.
Points: Southbrook 39;
Leeston-Southbridge
33; Sefton 30; Oxford 27;
Cheviot 27; Kaiapoi 27;
Weedons 18; Darfield 17.

Lexus F celebrates 10-year milestone
• By Ross Kiddie
THE letter F for Lexus
represents the high performance
division of the company and
also a connection to Fuji
Speedway, the chief test site
for Lexus performance vehicle
development.
Lexus F has been around for
10 years, the concept started
with one of my all-time favourite
cars, the blistering V8-powered
IS-F, and today that milestone
is celebrated with another V8
beauty, the GS-F, a coupe-styled
sedan which has practicality on
its side.
While the GS-F isn’t new as
a car, the special edition model
stands out for its bold looks and
cosmetic detailing, the exterior is
matte grey only, and the trim is a
blue/cream combination. If you
think that sounds weird, it isn’t,
the combination works well, and
in true Lexus fashion the GS-F is
the epitome of luxury and performance.
In technical terms, the GS-F’s
engine is a 5-litre quad-camshaft
unit. It is a real powerhouse with
a massive 351kW and 530Nm of
torque. If you take into account
that peak power is available tall
in the rev band at 7100rpm,
and torque across a wide spread
– 4800rpm to 5600rpm – it
revs freely to the top end and
is strong in its run to that high
level.
Drive is channelled through
an eight-speed transmission
through to the rear wheels. With
the low and close gearbox ratios
there’s never a point where you
think acceleration is going to
wilt.
On that subject, Lexus claim
A NEW sport utility vehicle
will be launched by Lexus New
Zealand next month.
Simply badged UX the newcomer
will be available in seven
different variants, five of them
LEXUS GS-F: Special anniversary edition.
a 4.6sec time to reach 100km/h
from a standstill. It will also
lunge from 80km/h to 120km/h
in 3.8sec, and make 270km/h if
laws allowed.
These are quick and exciting
figures which easily satisfy, and
if you let the engine breathe freely
it affords a sound that is truly
enticing, it wails and thunders
through the exhaust, especially
on start-up and in sport mode.
My wife and I used the GS-F
for a long Christmas holiday
road trip, covering over 1400km
in the evaluation car. Most of
the driving was on highways,
and it certainly served to prove
you could cover a lot of ground
quickly, and comfortably, without
burning through unnecessary
amounts of fuel.
Lexus claim an 11.3-litre per
100km (25mpg) combined cycle
average. I had no trouble eclipsing
that figure on our journey,
featuring new self-charging
hybrid electric powertrains, while
two come with conventional
petrol engines.
There are Limited, F Sport and
standard grades with a choice of
front wheel drive, or all-wheel
drive in the standard and Limited
the fuel usage gauge frequently
falling into the 9.7l/100km
(29mpg) region.
That aside, the GS-F is largely
about performance and the
driveline engineering has been
developed so that the power outputs
are managed without too
much being asked of the traction
control network.
The suspension is obviously
a fully independent type with
front wishbones and a multiple
link system supporting the rear
axles. The ride is fabulous, and
even in sport mode which firms
the suspension slightly there is
little compromise in ride quality.
Yet, as you apply power out
of a corner, the pure sensation
of rear-drive is evident; it squats
and delivers with controlled
poise.
A torque vectoring differential
along with huge rear Michelin
tyres (275/35 x 19in) provide
grade hybrids.
The UX 250h self-charging hybrid
electric variants are expected
to make up 65 per cent of UX
sales.
With a 2-litre petrol engine,
the self-charging hybrid electric
model is rated at 135kW with
substantial grip, there is a lot
of power on tap but it goes to
ground well.
It’s also nice to know that if
a corner looms just a little too
quickly, huge brakes with Brembo
calipers quickly slow speed, pedal
feel is solid and totally reassuring.
With so much performance
on offer, it’s hard to believe the
GS-F is also true to the Lexus
spirit of comfort and luxury,
the entire in-cabin area is fabulous
to be in. I don’t believe the
sports style seats on the anniversary
edition are as cushioning
underneath as its predecessors,
however, that’s a small price to
pay for such an exciting car to
be in.
The GS-F lives up to its development
criteria. It is racetrack
inspired with onboard lap timers
and drive modes which would
allow you to have fun on club
days at the circuit.

plenty of belongings can be carried

Personally, I just enjoyed the
whole driving experience, and
I guess at $178,400 it needs to
be an involving car to be in. For
the price it comes loaded with
technology and safety kit, most
of it is sight unseen, and you’d
expect nothing less from Lexus.
The GS-F is a performance

However, you’d better act
quickly, both the GS-F and

Summer stunners which like warm
As the temperatures soar, several plants bounce to the fore, producing a colour
through flashy foliage or brilliant blooms. It’s all about colour, colour and more
colour. Rachel Vogan reports
1. SALVIA ‘AMISTAD’
Perennial sages have had a real
resurgence over recent years and
when this one arrived a couple of
years ago, I was quick to snap it up.
This is a taller variety, reaching
1m in height, which makes it a
good anchor tenant for the back of
the border. It looks a treat mixed in
with white roses and other showy
blooms.
The dark purple flowers sit pertly
above the green foliage and look a
picture until the first frosts arrive.
Protect from frost where possible or
take a few cuttings to over
winter and replant again next
spring.
Great contender for a larger patio
tub. The bees love it.
2. BEGONIA WATERFALL
SERIES
These newish begonias are
just the ticket for all-year-round
summer and autumn colour.
Having a low growing habit, they
have been designed to cover areas
of soil to provide carpets of colour
until winter arrives or early frosts
appear. They produce a wonderful
cascade of colour in hanging
baskets.
Nestle in a warm, dry
spot over winter and they
will bound back to life again
in late spring.
3. CORNUS FLORIDA
‘CHEROKEE SUNSET’
A variegated dogwood is
just the ticket for gardens that
want some contrasting and
colourful foliage at the back of the
garden.
VIVID: This bidens variety is named camp fire. Centre – Perennial sage amistad is great for bees but watch the frosts; Begonias are a brilliant autumn orange.

temperatures
With a tall, slim habit, this
small tree cloaks itself in pretty
foliage for nine months of the
year. As the leaves appear in
spring, creamy flowers sit on the
branches just adding the plant’s
appeal.
Protect from gale-force winds,
or plant where a fence or other
trees will provide protection.
4. HYDRANGEA ‘FLOWER
MASTER BLUE’
The big blue mophead
hydrangea is a ripper. Its flower
heads are some of the biggest
I have ever seen! It forms a
medium-sized shrub and will
cope with some sun. To keep
the flowers a rich blue colour
feed with aluminium sulphate,
which is available in the garden
stores and sometimes labelled
‘hydrangea blue fertiliser’.
It comes in both liquid and
powdered forms.
Top tip: to make blue
hydrangeas pink, fertilise
with lime and dolomite.
5. NEW: ROSE ‘STRAWBERRY
BLONDE’
A new floribunda rose produces
masses of golden-apricot blooms
that soften with age, fading into
bleached blonde shades. The
blooms have a good scent, which
adds to its appeal. It forms a
compact bush from which dozens
of blooms will appear over the
season.
A good option for a large patio
planter or tub. Like all roses, it
will appreciate regular watering.
6. DAY LILY
As the name suggests, the
blooms on these hardy lilies
only last a day. However, as they
produce such an abundance of
blooms, they are rarely without
a flower over the summer,
making them hard to go past for
a flowering option in full sun
and poor soils. Once established,
daylilies will withstand long
dry periods and require little
or no care. For foodies, both
the flowers and buds are edible.
Clumps are easy to divide too,
so after a few seasons, you will
be able to split the plants into
several bits.
7. BIDENS FERULIFOLIA
‘CAMP FIRE’
What a wee ripper this plant
is. Mine has romped through
winter and has been bursting
with blooms since November.
It forms a low-growing mound,
which spreads out to about 80cm.
It looks like a soft plant, which
wouldn’t tolerate a lot, but it copes
with neglect and survives happily
with just a regular watering
regime. It self-cleans so there is
no need for deadheading – simply
plant and walk away.
Wonderful perennial for patio
tubs and window boxes.
8. PENSTEMON
‘CHA CHA CHERRY’
The knee-high bright red blooms
of this penstemon are just
wonderful. Once the flowers
begin around Christmas time
they continue for months,
providing a gloriously long
period of colour. Choose a
sunny spot and enrich the
soil, if possible. The clumps
establish themselves over a
year or two reaching 80–90cm
wide eventually.
The flowers pick well, so, on
that basis, plant plenty, then you
always have something for the
vase and some hot colour for the
garden.
9. COREOPSIS
I love this coreopsis but I am
unsure of its name. I bought it
as potted colour last year and
it’s been a real campaigner with
a lovely compact growth habit.
Sunny yellow flowers have been
sitting up above the green foliage
all summer. I have it both in pots
and on a mound and it delivers
a riot of colour, right through
until June, wherever it is.
CAMPAIGNER: Coreopsis is a great pot plant.
ESTABLISHED: Choose a sunny spot for penstemon Cha Cha
Cherry to have it flowering for months.

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
miss our big green sign. Our team look forward to seeing you in store!

Check your veggie beds regularly to ensure
that you are harvesting the produce as
soon as it is ready. If your plants have
grown really fast and haven’t produced
much in the way of veggies, but instead
have a lot of flowers and seeds on them, it
is time to pull them out. They have bolted
to seed and won’t be any use.
Keep up the water! Make sure you give
them a good soak every few days rather
than a small watering daily.
If your plants have been in for a while
now, it might pay to add some fertiliser or
organic matter to the soil to help keep the
nutrient supply available for them to keep
growing and providing you with veggies.

MULCH
A 10cm layer of bark mulch will help
to keep your garden looking great, and
provide some protection for your plants.
The bark will help to keep moisture in the
soil, suppress the weeds, and keep the soil
at a more even temperature. If you don’t
like the look of bark, you can use stones or
chip as well.
Organic compost is an excellent soil
conditioner. If your garden beds are looking
a little dry and worse for wear, add some of
our top selling organic compost. This is also
safe for use around acid-loving plants such
as Rhododendrons and Camellias.
GENERAL GARDEN TIPS
• Raise the height of your
mower to keep the lawns a bit
longer. Give them plenty of water
during the hot dry summer.
• Pull out the weeds as you see them. They compete with
your plants for space, water and nutrients.
• Keep safe in the garden. Wear protective gear such as
sunblock, hats, sunglasses and gloves. Wear masks and
gloves when using potting mix and compost, and wash
your hands after use and before eating. Head to our
website for a full list of safety measures to keep you
safe in the garden, particularly protecting yourself from
Legionnaires.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Good design ensures
a weatherproof home
The leaky homes crisis of the early 2000s was borne
from a relaxation in building design and emphasis on
self-regulation during the 1980s and 1990s. With a
more open interpretation of building standards some
poor designs crept in.
Official response to the leaky home crisis has been
to tighten up building by-laws with more thorough
building inspections introduced. The consent process
was upgraded again after the earthquakes.
Houses are now built to a higher quality and are
generally more structurally sound than ever before.
Every new home is thoroughly inspected at
significant stages during the build. These are listed on
the consent document and include checking before
a concrete slab is poured to ensure foundations
(including placement of reinforcing steel) are
prepared as per their design; that frame and roof
fixings, and all flashings around windows are in place;
and ensuring insulation is installed.
All tradespeople working on a residential home
must now be under the responsibility of a licensed
building practitioner and each trade must sign off the
work they do, via the official PS3 documents that the
approving Council requires for building consent.
While Canterbury’s drier climate translates to less
likelihood of a home developing leaks some buildings
have experienced damage from the elements over
time. It therefore makes sense to choose a house
design which will cope with extreme weather
conditions, while also looking good in years to come.
In relation to the roof of a home, more frequently
applied are hip, gable and skillion roofing styles. Hip
and gable roofs with a reasonable overhang of the
soffit, help protect the walls and prevent water from
penetrating between the cladding and house frames.
With skillion roofing, a pitch of upwards of 10 degrees
is a better option as lower pitches have the potential to
be problematic so require thought and detail in their
design.
Flat or low pitch roofs do need to be installed
correctly so it is best to engage a professional who
has the expertise and experience for the job. Other
issues with the roof can be internal gutters which can
accumulate rain water if spouting is blocked causing
it to bank up, pool and potentially penetrate the roof
cavity thereby damaging the ceiling, walls and other
aspects of the structure.
Fixing snow straps or gutter guard to the roof
spouting will help prevent buckling should there
be a heavy snow storm, a feature worth installing if
building in Selwyn.
The use of quality cladding and flashings (a
waterproof strip around windows and doors) is not
only peace of mind but also ensures your home looks
good going forward. All claddings are now required
to be on a cavity system. This is an air gap between the
timber framing and cladding, usually 20mm or 40mm
for brick cladding.
When choosing your new home’s design, discuss
how it might be made more weather resistant.
Hip & gable roofs with a good soffit
help protect the walls of a house.
Fix snow
straps to roof
spouting.
Involve a professional if choosing a flat or low pitch roof.
Skillion roofing with a pitch of 10° is better.
