demand for car parks in the area.
The site will be next to bus
stops, allowing users to catch
a metro bus to major shopping
centres in Rolleston and the
surrounding areas, including
Burnham, Christchurch and
Lincoln.
With a Metrocard discount,
travelling on the bus from
Rolleston to Burnham and

Mr Ward said the facility will
have six cycle racks.
It will also extend the parking
capacity for district council staff,
who will get 59 additional car
spaces and six motorcycle spaces.
“This is an exciting time for
the council and the district, as
these works are a clear indication

WE PROFILE a good bloke on pages 16,17

Simon Moore is a strong opponent of
the planned Fulton Hogan quarry near
Weedons, and has no problem going public
about that. The louder his drum beats, the
better it will be for those trying to stop the quarry.
And in Simon, Fulton Hogan has not only a vocal opponent
but a skilled one as well. Simon’s background is in upholding
the law and bringing people to justice.
He was a detective sergeant in the police and worked on high
profile investigations like the Kirsty Bentley and Scott Watson
cases.
He has also been a publican – a job that also requires a fair
amount of nous and psychology.
Should be an interesting battle.

Break the law this week
and you could end up on television
• By Anan Zaki
IF YOU’RE pulled over by the
police this week, you may end up
on TV.
The popular show Police
Ten 7 will be filming across
the district from Thursday to
Sunday. The camera crew will be
accompanying
Rolleston
Constable Blair
Croucher.
“We will be out
in force with our
road policing,
targeting drink
Blair

drivers, speeding
drivers and
inconsiderate
drivers,” Constable Croucher
said.
“They [drivers] might get a
bit more than what they expect
when they get pulled over. They
might end up having their face
on TV.”
He said the camera crew may
also be at the Farmlands Cup
pre-season rugby match between
the Crusaders and Highlanders
in Southbridge on Friday.
“Having Police Ten 7 does instil
the trust and confidence within
the community and the wider
areas of Selwyn. We’ll really
be responding to what jobs are
on the radio. They [producers]
pick and choose what they want
afterwards.”
Constable Croucher hopes
to showcase the good side of
Selwyn. The footage will air
about a year after filming, once
court proceedings for the cases
have been completed, he said.
This is not the first time Police
Ten 7 has filmed in the district.
“This is about the fourth or
fifth year they have come along
with me,” Constable Croucher
said. “In the past we’ve had
vehicle accidents. Out here
with Main South Rd on our
back doorstep, plus a lot of
rural roads, we do have nasty
accidents with serious injury
and, unfortunately, we do have
our fair share of fatalities.”
Fatal crashes will not be aired
on the show, he said.
Other Selwyn incidents
shown on Police Ten 7 have
included drunk and disorderly
behaviour, drink drivers, assaults
and thefts.

Bid to ease car parking
congestion in Rolleston
However, dust control measures
have been put in place.
The work was set out in the
2018-2028 Long Term Plan
as part of the extension and
reconfiguration of the district
council building.
The district council
allocated $700,000 for
the project when it set
the Long Term Plan last
year. It’s expected to be
ready by May, depending
on the weather.
The district council
has previously stated
David Ward that parking has become
an issue in Rolleston due
to the town’s booming population.
It is currently working on a
parking strategy to permanently
ease congestion in Rolleston and
Lincoln.
Public consultation on the
district council’s draft parking
strategy closed in December and
public hearings are expected to
start in the first half of this year.
Few stubble burn permits

FEDERATED Farmers is
concerned that only 36 farmers

Taggart said.
“I certainly thought more
people would be on board with
it, because a lot of people still
burn.”
Meanwhile, only four
permits had been granted in
Waimakariri and Christchurch
as of last Thursday.
Mr Taggart says that could be
because of “significantly less”
arable farms in the
Waimakariri and
Christchurch areas compared to
Selwyn.
“But there’s definitely
more than four arable
farms [in Christchurch and
Waimakariri],” he said.
“People are potentially not

FENZ deputy principal rural
fire officer north Canterbury
Dale Wilhelm said he wants to
spread the message about applying
for permits.
“With Fire and Emergency
becoming a nationwide organisation,
we’ve been trying to
effectively have the same rules
across the country,” he said.
Previously, each district had
different rules around stubble
burns, Mr Wilhelm said.
The permits give FENZ the
ability to contact farmers who
regularly burn crops, if the
weather conditions are not
ideal for stubble burns, Mr
Wilhelm said.
Said Mr Wilhelm: “Anyone
looking to burn stubble can
apply now for a permit to see
them through the next few
months.”
Mr Taggart says Federated
Farmers won’t help farmers
who don’t use permits.
“If they [farmers] run into
problems with prosecution because
they’ve been burning in a
restricted fire season, Federated
Farmers won’t be available for
assistance in that case,” Mr
Taggart said.

High temperatures
pose extreme risk
• By Anan Zaki
THE FIRE restrictions come at
the hottest time of year, the high
temperatures pose an extreme risk,
firefighters say.
Two weeks ago – as temperatures
hovered above 30 deg C – Hororata
firefighters had to put out a fire
which reignited from the site of a
stubble burn originally lit in August
last year.
Hororata chief fire officer Bruce
Sayer urged farmers to re-check
old stubble burns from the past
few months as the summer heat
intensified.
Two fire trucks from Hororata
spent two hours dampening down
the fire on Struie Rd.
“The farm owner had seen the
smoke and it was really close to a
cereal crop. So it could have been a
lot worse,” Mr Sayer said.
“It was just a pile of ash and log
that reignited, so definitely keep an
eye out and recheck burns in recent
months because it’s surprising how
long the fire can stay in the centre.”
Leeston chief fire officer Lloyd
Clausen warned rural residents not
to use lawn mowers or other equipment
which could create sparks.
“In the heat of the day, early
morning to late afternoon they should
not be doing any work that could
create sparks,” Mr Clausen said.

Innovative father and son duo
First there was the castle
and now there is a
self-sustainable, ecofriendly
tiny house. Anan
Zaki talks to the father
and son behind the
creations
MAJESTIC: The Chapman Castle was Dennis Chapman and his son Alan’s first project, now the
DENNIS CHAPMAN built a
castle overlooking Tai Tapu six
years ago.
Now his son Alan is building a
tiny house, with inspiration from
the castle.
The tiny house in Tai Tapu is
off the grid and self-powered by
solar panels.
The house can generate enough
power to charge an electric car,
which will keep its two residents
self-sustained. It also has a large
thermal mass, which means the
temperature of the building does
not change.
The technological features were
right at home for Dennis, who
made his money in electrical
engineering companies Enatel
and Swichtec. His son is also an
electrical engineer with his own
company Darc Technologies.
“We built the tiny house to see
if we could utilise all the technol-
pair have built a tiny house.
ogies we used in the castle into a
tiny house that was economically
accessible to everybody,” Alan
said.
Meanwhile, 4km away, the
Chapman Castle takes things on
a grander scale.
“We didn’t set out to build
a castle. We actually set out to
build a thermally efficient building
that was fully automated,”
Dennis said.
The family loved the Dunedin
Railway Station’s stone entrance
way and drew inspiration from
that.
“Because it was all stone and
there were slip windows . . . we
decided we needed a theme,”
Dennis said.
From there the idea of a castle
was born. But the castle was no
ordinary castle.
“In the castle, in the middle
of winter we’d have no heating
for a week and the temperature
will only change by two degrees,”
Dennis said.
“To retain heat and store water
in the castle, we’ve got 30,000
litre water tanks – four of them.
Half of them are thermally insulated
so we use those to store heat
to the house.”
The tiny house in comparison
has 3000 litre water tanks.
The Chapman’s hope to take
the building concepts from the
castle into the market to develop
more eco-friendly houses.
The castle also generates
enough electricity to not only
power the itself, but three electric
cars and supply power to the
grid. Other innovations include
translucent light panels instead of
windows in order to prevent heat
escaping the house.
“The psychology of that is it
looks like you’re looking at a
window. You’ve got the light
coming through the window,
even at night,” Alan said.
“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.

Fire rages, homes at risk
design tiny house after castle
DESIGN: The Chapman Castle is an eco-friendly house.
With modern LED technology,
panel lights are cheaper than
installing windows or skylights.
The heat lost through the windows
costs more than running
LED lights, Dennis said. As both
father and son confessed, the tiny
house is an experiment. Alan
plans to move in to the house
once it is completed in March
and live there for a year.
“The experiments we’re doing
here is to prove what’s possible.
Maybe it’s not that cost effective
at the moment, but it will be in
the future,” Dennis said.
The roof is made of foam steel,
which is commonly used in large
commercial buildings like supermarkets,
not homes.
“It has an advantage, it gives
a relatively simple structure to
build and gives really good insulation,”
Dennis said.
“It does have some downsides
we’ve found. It costs somewhat
more than what we expected and
we’re not sure why that was, so
we’re dreaming up new methods
at the moment.”
The house is also movable. After
a year of living and learning
about the tiny house, Alan says
it will be lifted up and moved
to another location – likely as a
family bach.
Alan hopes he can one day sell
the technologies used in the tiny
house through Darc Technologies.
“It’s just ways of making houses
that are better insulated, have
more exposed thermal mass
inside so they regulate their
temperature passively a lot better
and making them as off grid as
possible,” Alan said.
Because it is an ongoing
experiment, the cost of the
tiny house is still not clear,
he said. Other than the
technological advances, the
house is also an artwork.
“That represents one of the
family friends wanting to make
an art piece out of it. He’s built
it looking like native bush to
portray that it’s low impact for
the environment,” Alan said.
He says the family has had
both positive and negative
comments about the looks of the
tiny house.
“Some people love the idea of
having a tiny wee house you can
pick up and move in a container
truck.”
INNOVATIVE: Technologies from the Chapman Castle are being
experimented in the tiny house in Tai Tapu.
Skin problem? No problem!
Join us for our skin fit challenge with our
brand new skincare line Dermaviduals,
the future of skincare has arrived.
A modern, holistic approach to skincare
Bloom Boutique Medispa owner Ashlley
McIntosh is excited to announce a new
direction. After three years in Darfield
growing to a staff of three including
herself, she decided to revamp her business
model based on careful research and a
more considered way to help her clients.
“I’ve just spent the last year studying and
re-training on how to care and rejuvenate
skin in a completely different way than
how I was originally taught, which
focussed on ingredients such as acids and
peels.”
Ashlley says that by going back to
science to study the skin, how it functions
and its structure, she soon discovered a
better option that was more supportive.
Corneotherapy is a remedial skin
treatment methodology, which aims to
keep the skin intact and build it up without
disrupting the barrier function.
With this new information in mind,
Ashlley introduced a new German
skincare range called dermaviduals®,
developed specifically for this style of skin
care and treatment. She is fully trained
and qualified in the use of this product
to custom-make creams, cleansers and
serums to suit individual requirements.
“I can now customise every product to
suit individuals on the day. Dermaviduals
is a range of products that support the
barrier function of the skin with no
disruption and has an amazing delivery
system without disturbing that function.”
Taking a holistic approach to her work
means not only looking on the outside
but also the inside. Ashlley now offers
one-hour consultations with the client to
discuss any diet, lifestyle, or health issues
and work out the best skin care needs on
the day, plus any future treatments. The
consultation includes a treatment and
home care plan that the client can take
away.
To complement her new
style of business, Ashlley
has added Beauty Chef,
a certified organic and
nutrient-dense range of
inner beauty products
that support the gut,
body and skin.
Ashlley, Brittany and Anna
look forward to meeting you soon to

Investigation
into
dumped mail
• By Anan Zaki
ABOUT 100 pieces of mail have
been found dumped in Rolleston.
The mail was found on Elizabeth
St on January 27.
A spokeswoman for New Zealand
Post says it is working with police
and investigating the find.
NZ Post said last week that it had
collected the mail and would deliver
them.
“We apologise for this delay and
any distress this may have caused,”
the spokeswoman said.
NZ Post was alerted to the public
on social media by a woman who
found the mail on Elizabeth St.
Under the Postal Services Act
1998, people who wilfully open mail
not addressed to them can face up to
six months in prison or a fine of up
to $5000.

FINAL WEEK!
Margaret Holding
responds to last
week’s Selwyn Times
article about the
planned skate park in
West Melton
AS A long-time resident
of West Melton and
having lived in both
Gainsborough and
Preston Downs until
recently, it amazes me how
narrow-minded people are
regarding not only change,
but also forethought
regarding the skate park.
If noise could be a
problem, then Westview
Cres would not be a good
site.
Brinsworth Reserve
is on a corner and has a
walkway through it.
Therefore, the logical
place seems to be Retford
Common. The houses
surrounding it being far
enough away for noise and
it would bring this huge
empty space alive with
activity and children’s
laughter.
The domain is
the worst place suggested,
especially for children.
Skateboarders do not
travel by car but by
skateboards.
I think maybe Bruce
Russell’s comment that
“the domain is the only
logical place” does not
consider children’s safety.
Crossing the main
highway is a nightmare
anyway without adding
more pressure on it.
It is possible that some
children will come from
Rolleston, but their
parents will have to bring
them so limiting the
numbers.
Whereas, why not
cater for the West Melton
children and have it within
skating distance of the two
biggest subdivisions with
no major road to contend
with and a medical centre
on the same side of the
highway?
Come on West
Meltonians, speak out and
use your logic.

Backyard Critters
Lacewing predator
IN THE August 15 issue
of Selwyn Times, I wrote
an article on the aphid
predator Tasmanian
lacewing (Micromus
tasmaniae). Another
predatory species found
in my garden at Lincoln
is the Australian variable
lacewing (Drepanacra
binocula).
Although the two species
are very similar in size,
the variable lacewing adult
has unsymmetrical, pointy
forewings compared to the
Tasmanian lacewing.
However, the variable
lacewing larvae are much
broader than their cousins
and they are found on
leaves containing colonies
of their prey including
aphids, white fly and
psyllids.
As many as 182 eggs can
be laid by females, near
prey, either on leaves or
on long stalks. The jaws of
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/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-lincoln
PREDATOR: Female Australian variable lacewings
(Drepanacra binocula) can lay 182 eggs.
adults are used for holding
onto and chewing prey,
whereas the jaws of larvae
are hollow and are used to
suck up the body contents
of the prey.
The final larval stage
forms a loose cocoon
in a sheltered space and
then pupates in a smaller
cocoon inside the other.
Lacewing larvae have
natural enemies, including
a small, 2.5mm long
parasitic wasp that injects
an egg inside the lacewing
which develops and
eventually kills its host.

Fire rages, homes at risk
SeniorNet teaches modern day skills
• By Emily O’Connell
ONLINE BANKING, emailing and
photo editing.
These are just a few of the skills being
taught at Selwyn SeniorNet’s learning
centres in Leeston, Rolleston and Lincoln.
Voluntary tutors run classes for people
50-years-old and over on how to use
computers, phones and other electronic
devices.
Classes are suitable for beginners and
those who want to learn how to use
software such as Microsoft Office, Word,
Excel, Publisher, Outlook, email, Gmail,
online banking, ancestry, photo editing
and similar activities.
Selwyn SeniorNet tutor and committee
member John O’Hara said its classes are
beneficial and people can learn a variety
of skills. He said about 46 people attended
its classes last year.
Classes cost $10 per term to attend and
includes an annual membership fee.
SeniorNet members can also get discounts
on technology at Noel Leeming.
Mr O’Hara said classes will start back
next week and run throughout the school
term from 10am-noon at the Lincoln

Surfer Lui comes to the rescue
• By Louis Day
WHEN LUI Arnold went for a
surf during the school holidays
he never thought he would
end up saving two men from
drowning.
THe 15-year-old Lincoln High
School student was about to
catch a wave at Sumner when he
heard screams for help.
“I started paddling towards
the sound, I had to paddle probably
500m. When I got closer to
them, I could kind of see their
heads bobbing in and out of the
water,’’ he said.
It took Lui 10 to 15min in the
treacherous sea to get to them.
Another surfer who also came
to help paddled to the swimmers
and they threw the pair their
boards.
“They were very grateful and
apologetic, they just said thanks
heaps. Once we got there they
were pretty out of breath, they
were really gasping and they
seemed quite panicked.”
Lui and the other surfer did
their best to swim out of the rip
while the two swimmers used their
boards to paddle back to the beach.
“It was really tough swimming
out there, it was quite rough, it
was pretty mellow out towards
the beach, but it got really
choppy towards the rip current.”
Lui said the rip had taken the
two men a long way out. Because
of the rough water they could
not even see the beach. “It was
quite scary at times, we were so

isolated.”
Lui managed to help get the
swimmers back on to the beach
within 10min thanks to the help
of his former surfing instructor
Aaron Lock who arrived on to
the scene.
After helping get the men to
the beach, Lui headed back out
into the water.
“I didn’t really think much
about it at the time, I just went
back out there and started surfing
again.”
Mr Lock was in-between
surf lessons when he heard the
screams for help.
“By the time my other instructor
Oliver and I had got
out there, Lui and this other
surfer had given them their
boards, but their boards were
too small so we got them on to
our longboards and paddled
them ashore.”
Mr Lock said the two men
were lucky to be alive.
“They were in serious trouble,
they were starting to take on a
lot of water.”
The two swimmers were given
the all clear after being assessed
by a surf lifesaver.
SPECIAL EVENT: The volleyball
teams from Pineglades and
Fire and Emergency NZ, stand

which was presented by Mayor
Sam Broughton.
Naturists, firefighters
celebrate volleyball
anniversary event
THE PINEGLADES Naturist Club
hosted the 40th annual volleyball
match between the club and
firefighters on Saturday.
The event – known as the Whittington
Cup – has often been held
at the club grounds at Brookside
Rd on Waitangi Day.
However, as this was seen as
a special anniversary, Fire and
Emergency NZ suggested that
this year it be held on Saturday to
enable families to enjoy a catered
dinner and band.
Mayor Sam Broughton unveiled
a new umpire’s chair to commemorate
40 years of the event. He
also took part, playing for the
firefighters.
Prior to the challenge, a number
of people participated in a series
of fun games testing skills such as
rolling out hoses, catching eggs
and throwing tennis balls into
strategically placed buckets.
The Pineglades naturists won the
title this year, defending last year’s
crown.

Shrek takes over Kirwee
• By Anan Zaki
BROCK COTTRELL is not your
ordinary teenager.
The 13-year-old of Rolleston is
the district’s very own grumpy
ogre, Shrek.
He’s part of the Kirwee Players,
who will perform Shrek Jr in
April.
Rehearsals for the show started
on January 27, involving 40 children
aged eight to 16.
Brock says it is “nerve-racking”
to play the main character of the
show.
“When I first found out, I was a
bit overwhelmed, but I’m getting
comfortable with the idea. I’ve
been practicing, getting to know
the part.”
The story of the show will be
similar to the film Shrek.
Said Shrek Jr production manager
Courtney Hyde: “It follows
the story of Shrek, a grumpy
ogre, who just wants to be left
alone in his swamp and his trusty
stead, the hilarious Donkey.”
“They are tasked with finding
and rescuing Princess Fiona and
bringing her back to marry the
very short and irritating Lord
Farquaad. During the rescue
Shrek and Princess Fiona fall in
love,” Ms Hyde said.
Brock says he liked that a
grumpy ogre could have a big life.
LEAD: Liam Morris, Lara Chiswell and Brock Cotterell will star
in the Kirwee Players show, Shrek Jr.
He’s also watched the movie.
“I first watched it when I was
nine and then I re-watched it
when I was older and realised all
the underlying adult jokes in it,”
he said.
Brock hasn’t told too many
people about his new role yet.
“When they rang to tell me
what part I had gotten, mum was
really excited. I probably was
pretty calm on the outside but
inside I was super excited and
happy that I had got the lead.”
•Shrek Jr will be at the
Kirwee Community Hall on
April 12,13 and 14. Ticket
announcements are on the
Facebook page, Kirwee

A POTENTIAL solution to curb
feral and stray cats will be put to
the district council next month.
Springfield township
committee secretary Sean Ellis
is calling for a cat protection
programme to reduce stray cats
across the district, and says he
has backing from cat rescuers.
He will present the proposal
to the district council’s next
meeting, on March 13.
But before stray cats can
be controlled, Mr Ellis says
domesticated must be micro
chipped.
“We also need a cat drop off
centre, a place where stray and
feral cats once trapped can be
taken and assessed . . . microchipped,
de-sexed and re-homed,
if at all possible,” Mr Ellis said.
Selwyn Times reported last
month that Mr Ellis called for
the district council to be a leader
in the predator free movement.
Following the article, Mr Ellis
said he received threatening
phone calls, but says they weren’t
serious and doesn’t want it to
distract people from the subject

Solution for
stray cat issues
of controlling cats.
“It’s a really emotional thing
and I want to keep the emotion
out of it,” he said.
Feral cats posed a danger to
native bird life, Mr Ellis said.
“Just think about it, if it was a
dog left roaming about killing
everything smaller than itself,
how long would it be before we
acted?”
The district council is
currently working on a report
on dealing with predator cats,
which is due next month.
A cat rescuer in the district,
who did not want to named in
fear of receiving threats, says she
supports Mr Ellis’ proposal.
“Most people have cats or
like cats. It’s about making sure
every cat in Selwyn has someone
responsible for it,” the woman
said. “If it’s a stray cat it’s about
getting it a home. Get someone
who’s responsible for it, make
sure it’s de-sexed.”
She said controlling cats is an
emotional subject.
“People love cats or hate cats.
It gets everybody fired up,” the
woman said.

You used to be a police officer,
when did you serve and what
was your role?
I was a detective, and when I
left the police I was a detective
sergeant based in Christchurch
for most of the time. I served
between 1983 and 1999.
What made you want to
become a police officer?
It was one of those boyhood
things. I had worked on dairy
farms and I didn’t mind that.

My uncle was a policeman in
Oamaru and just talking to him
and looking at career options,
I decided to join the police. I
worked full time on dairy farms
for about 18 months before I was
accepted into the police at 20.
What were some of the
notable cases that you worked
on?
Kirsty Bentley was the last one
I worked on. That’s still in the
newspapers. It’s a cold case now. I
was brought in after her body was
found up in the Rakaia Gorge. I
was brought into review that part
of the investigation, which meant
that I lived in Methven for about
two months.
Was it a difficult time with the
attention on the case?
It was intense, but it was also
disappointing that we couldn’t
resolve that for the family. About
a year or so before that I was
involved in the [Marlborough]
Sounds homicides as well and I
lived in Blenheim for six months
and hardly got a day off. That’s
still controversial and still people
ask me about that. It never leaves
you, even though you left the
police in 1999. People still want
to know about both those cases
because there was a lot of public
interest in them.

– life isn’t quiet for former cop
Do you believe justice was
served in the Sounds murders?
Yeah I do, no doubt at all.
I’ve heard all the theories, I’ve
heard everything. We lived and
breathed that [investigation] for
six months, it was a huge amount
of time and in those six months I
think I got two or three weekends
off. We were working 14-15 hours
a day. So if anyone thinks there
wasn’t a lot of work put into that
they’re very wrong.
Did you enjoy police work?
Of course. You’ve got to be
extremely dedicated and working
on an inquiry, whether it would
be Blenheim or Ashburton, it
takes you away from your home
and your family. I didn’t have
children at that stage, but I was
working with guys that did. It’s
hell of a hard on them and I don’t
think people realise that.
Why did you leave the police?
In 16 years I saw a lot of things
and I guess that while I was
still young enough, I thought I
had done a lot in the police and
I felt it was time for a change
in scenery so I ended up being
a publican. I had the Madeira
Hotel in Akaroa for a couple of
years.
So you became a publican,
that’s a bit of a change isn’t it?
HIGH PROFILE: Former detective Simon Moore worked on cases such as the Marlborough
Sounds murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, and the murder of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty
Bentley.
The thing about the police is
that it can become very negative.
A lot of the time you’re dealing
with the very negative side of society
and you’re seeing tragedies.
You’re having to tell people that
their loved ones have been killed
and over 16 years that can take its
toll. People that have been in the
police for 30-40 years, well they
have got my admiration. They
deserve a medal. The thing about
becoming a publican is that I saw
a slightly different side to people.
Some good and some bad, but the
police career gives you a pretty
good grounding to deal with people.
You get to know a lot about
people in the police. It gives you a
really good grounding to understand
how people work and those
connections you make in the police
are lifelong connections. My
business partner [at e-Migration]
is an ex-police officer. Immigration
officers are ex-police officers,
you bump into them all the time
and they all remember you.
What were some highlights of
being a publican in Akaroa?
I knew what to expect from
people who couldn’t handle their
alcohol because I’ve dealt with
that plenty of times. But Akaroa
itself was a fantastic place to live.
A small population of locals, but
a huge population of Cantabrians
with holiday homes. So on the
weekends the place would just
swell with people from Christchurch
and when they went away it
was just your local people. I could
still be living there, but I was
made an offer for the pub and
I couldn’t refuse it. It’s bloody
hard work being a publican.
Particularly in a small town that
increases five times in size in the
weekends. Trying to find staff,
trying to please everybody and
keep within the law making sure
people aren’t drink driving, you
take that responsibility quite
heavily. As soon as I got there I
bought a courtesy van so that we
could get people home safely. To
be honest at the start there was a
bit of a sideways look from those
people who were perhaps a little
wayward of the law. But when
they found out I was there as a
publican and not a policeman it
was all good.

Our People
Moore takes on next challenge
Was it after that you became
an immigration adviser?
After two years of living and
breathing [being a publican]
you need a bit of time out and I
thought I’d have a few months
off. But I got to about six weeks
and I was so bored, I saw an ad in
the paper for what they used to
call an immigration consultant
with a big company. I applied for
it and the guy from Wellington
who interviewed me was an
ex-cop, so I got the job. I started
off as a consultant for them for
about six months and after the
six months we got the business
running so well that they decided
to start a branch, I ran that for
a couple of years and went back
to becoming a publican again in
Hanmer Springs of all places.
Where in New Zealand are
you originally from?
Born and bred in Christchurch.
The suburb I was brought
up was in Bishopdale, went to
Christchurch Boys’ High School.
I lived two years in Timaru after
I left the police. When I came
back from Timaru, I lived in that
Bishopdale area again and then
Templeton in the early 1990s
because I was working in the
Hornby police station as detective.
I threw my name in the hat
for a detective sergeant’s role after
just having moved to Templeton
and I got that role and it was in
New Brighton. I couldn’t turn
the job down because I put my
name in the hat, so I had to commute
backwards and forwards
everyday.
You own a 2010 Ford
Mustang, have you always been
into performance cars?
Yeah I am, I’ve always been a
V8 man really. I’ve always liked
those classic V8s and particularly
Mustang, out of the lot of them.
I was lucky enough to be able to
buy one in 2017. I bought it in
Auckland when I was up there
for a meeting, went and had a
look at one, liked it so much I
bought it and drove it home.
Much to my wife’s – I wouldn’t
say disgust – but surprise.
Tell me a bit about your
family?
I’m still married [to Tina],
some people would say luckily
sometimes, particularly her. Both
of my daughters attend Lincoln
High School, that’s the connection
of the swimming side of
things. Both of them [Sophie and
Holly] swim competitively. I do
OPPOSED:
Simon
Moore
has been
campaigning
against a
proposed
Fulton
Hogan
quarry near
Weedons.
a lot of officiating at swim meets,
I’m a trained official. It’s a very
busy life I have to say.
How did you meet your wife,
Tina?
Oh crikey. It was way back
in the dairy farm days actually.
The farm I used to work on [in
Springston South], her father
managed the place and we sort of
worked together and we knew the
family and it just went on from
there basically.
Did you move to Weedons
recently?
We bought our place in
Weedons just before we moved
back to town from Akaroa in
2001.
What spurred you onto
advocating for something like
the proposed quarry?
I’ve advocated for things all
my life if you look at the police
side of it. The thing that got me
annoyed and concerned is that
when I bought at Weedons, it
was surrounded by farms and
horse training stables. When we
went there we knew we would
get planes going overhead. We
accepted that. We knew Ruapuna
Park was not far away and when
the north east wind is blowing
and they’ve got events there we
can hear them quite clearly. We
knew that when we moved in
there. We’ve got prisons around
us, halfway houses for youth
offenders, we knew all that when
we moved in and we accepted
that. But we never had a quarry.
I never in my wildest dreams
thought that they would contemplate
putting a quarry between
Templeton and Weedons. The
thing that disturbs me the most
is the more I look into this the
more I can see that we are so
far behind the rest of the world.
India and Pakistan, for example,
have 1km setback rules. We don’t
have anything like that.
It’s our

A Month of Sundays
Lakeside Soldiers Memorial
Hall opening
Lakeside Soldiers Memorial Hall was officially opened on Friday
1 February, where over 140 people from Lakeside and the wider
Selwyn district attended. Mayor Sam Broughton, Hon Amy Adams,
Council staff and members of the Lakeside Community Memorial
Hall Committee were also in attendance.
A representative from Te Taumutu Rūnanga performed a blessing
and a local Anglican minister provided a blessing and a prayer.
Construction of the $1.67 million facility began in April 2017 and
was completed in November 2018. The new facility has replaced the
original earthquake-damaged hall, which was demolished several
years ago, with a modern, flexible community space and special
events venue.
Selwyn’s first A Month of Sundays event was held last weekend with around 100 residents
bringing a picnic and enjoying live music, face painting, the new Lincoln Library hours, garden
games and more for free.
If you missed it, they will be held every Sunday in February 1–3pm at the Lincoln Green outside
the Lincoln Library. It’s a fantastic afternoon listening to a line-up of talented acts including Li’l
Chuck and the One Man Skiffle Machine, Lee Martin, 4 Stroke and the Nor’west Brass Band. The
Lincoln Library will also be open for all to browse.
Special thanks to Faringdon for their support.
For the full A Month of Sundays line up and more Summer in Selwyn events go to selwyn.govt.nz/
events or facebook.com/summerinselwyn
For postponements and cancellation notices check Facebook, selwyn.govt.nz/events or phone
347 2800.
Selwyn Community Fund round one awarded
The Selwyn Community Fund has recognised the work of a variety of groups and organisations within
Selwyn. Round one has seen 22 organisations receiving funding, with a total of $39,250 allocated. A
number of these organisations are from the sports, children, events and arts sectors.
Cr Murray Lemon, Chair of the Selwyn Community Fund Committee was involved in allocating the fund
for round one.
“There was a diverse range of applications for funding reflecting the range of organisations operating in
the greater Selwyn district all helping to make Selwyn a great place to live, work and play,” he says.
Applications for round two close Tuesday 30 April.
“We look forward to assessing the innovative requests we are sure to attract.”
To apply visit selwyn.govt.nz/selwyn-community-fund.
New park-and-ride for Rolleston
Residents who have gone past the Council’s Rolleston headquarters
recently will have noticed work being undertaken on the
construction of a new car park and public park-and-ride facility, on
the corner of Norman Kirk Drive and Kidman Street. This work is
part of the extension of the Council car park and both car parks are
expected to be completed in May, depending on the weather.
Council Chief Executive David Ward says the work was set in the
2018–2028 Long-Term Plan last year, as part of the extension and
reconfiguration of the Council building.
“This is an exciting time for the Council and the district, as these
works are a clear indication of how quickly Selwyn is developing,”
Mr Ward says.
The new public park-and-ride car park will provide 79 public car
spaces and six cycle racks. This will allow people to park close
to local bus stops in Kidman Street. It will also extend the parking
capacity for Council staff with 59 additional car spaces and six
motorcycle spaces. The additional car parks will provide extra
parking for residents and visitors which will ease demand.
During construction, there will be some minor traffic disruptions
along Norman Kirk Drive, however there will be temporary traffic
management in place.
Closer to this time, we will provide more public information about
temporary traffic management via Council Call, the Council’s
website and Facebook page.
Fire restrictions in place
Fire and Emergency New Zealand has advised that the Selwyn district is now in a
restricted fire season.
Anyone wanting to light a fire outside in the Selwyn district will need to obtain a permit from
Fire and Emergency.
Gas or charcoal barbecues can still be used without a permit.
“We normally have to put fire restrictions in place at the start of the summer, but the unusually wet
spring meant that at the start of this summer the fire risk was very low so there was no need for
restrictions,’’ says Fire and Emergency Principal Rural Fire Officer Bruce Janes.
“However, the recent run of warm weather has dried out all the vegetation growth caused by the
unusual weather patterns and we have a very large fuel load that could potentially cause a fire to spread
very quickly.
“With the fire risk indices moving steadily upwards, it is time to introduce restrictions,’’ Mr Janes says.
People can apply for fire permits online at checkitsalright.nz or call Fire and Emergency on 0800 658 628.
For information on how to protect your property, go to fireandemergency.nz/at-home.

We’re encouraging households on Council water supplies to avoid watering lawns and gardens
between 6–9am and 4–9pm.
These are the times when households use the most water, especially during weekends. If everyone waters
their lawns at the same time over summer it places huge demands on water supplies.
The best time to water your lawn is between 9pm–6am, as this is when the least evaporation occurs
and water has the best opportunity to soak into the ground.
If you are considering watering your lawn during the day between 9am–4pm, check the weather
conditions first. Watering during the daytime is fine on cooler overcast or wet days. Watering
during the middle of the day on hot or nor’west days is not a good idea as a significant amount of
water will evaporate.
Although there are no formal water restrictions in place at present, we’re continuing to review water use
throughout summer. If demand for water increases, formal water restrictions may be introduced.
You can check water restrictions online at selwyn.govt.nz

Promising softballer
wants to take
his skills the max
• By Jacob Page
MAX SARGEANT is turning
the skills he learnt in his
backyard into a promising
softball career.
The 14-year-old Lincoln High
School student was part of the
Canterbury under-15 infield
which went undefeated at the
national championships.
He was named in the Rest
of New Zealand tournament
team, and will also trial for the
development Black Sox later in
the summer, which could lead to
a tour of Australia this year.
Max can play any infield
position but prefers second base
or short stop.
“I like how you get a lot of balls
coming your way and you’re
always in the action,” he said.
Max has been playing softball
since he was five and has
practiced his technique in
the backyard with his dad
Peter.
Max has a family pedigree,
with his uncle Michael Sands
being a former Black Sox player
in the early 2000s.
Max also plays premier
reserves, under-23s and under-
18s for Halswell, meaning he
often has three games a week.
“It’s playing against big people
which has been difficult, but
it’s been a learning year and,
hopefully, I can put those skills
into my 18s game.
“I’d like to make the
Canterbury under-18s and keep
moving up to national squads.”
Max said he would love to
emulate his uncle and become a
second generation Black Sox.
He also wants to play at college
level overseas.
But for now, Max is just
motivated to get better.
Two national titles
for West Melton
show jumper
WEST MELTON’S Tegan
Fitzsimon won two major titles
on the final day of the national
show jumping championships at
McLeans Island on Sunday.
Her horse Windermere
Cappuccino added a
national title to his already
comprehensive CV when he
triumphed in the feature event
of the three-day competition at
the National Equestrian Centre.
The final two rounds of the
national grand prix was watched
by a good-sized crowd, which
were treated to a nail-biting
finish that came down to the last
fence.
Tegan and Windermere
Cappuccino came into the
final round just 0.64sec behind
Lincoln’s Steffi Whittaker on
Eros K.
Both horses jumped clear in
the first speed class on Friday
and then led again in the first
round of the grand prix.
It all came down to the final
round at the Gerit Becker
designed course and it didn’t
look like it was going to be
Fitzsimon’s day when Vollie
took a pole.
“He just felt like he was
running out of fuel towards
the end. It was really hot and
he hasn’t done a lot of jumping
since he won the World Cup
final,” she said.
Whittaker and Eros K had
been looking good all show, but
the big chestnut stallion made
one mistake mid-way through
the round, and then knocked
the last fence down as well, to
give the win to Fitzsimon and
Windermere Cappuccino.
“I didn’t really know where
I was going to be with the
horse and I didn’t even think
I would be able to start in this
competition,” she said.
“I am just grateful that
I am here. (Windermere
Cappuccino) has given me
everything today and he has
come out on top.
“He really does deserve this
title. I am so pleased that his
name is now on the Mary Dalley
Memorial Trophy.”
She also admitted to a few
tears, and predicted there were
many more to come as it looks
like he will be sold to interests in
the United States.
Fitzsimon also finished third
in the class with her other horse
Double J Monarch.
This came on top of another
great win in the national 1.30m
horse championship on her
faithful campaigner, Alacazam
MH.
Lincoln’s Sophie Geddes also
had a thrilling result in the
national pony championship,
taking the win and second
with her ponies Benrose
Silver Shadow and Te Ngaio
Raggamuffin respectively.
“I have never been first and
second before, so it is a pretty
cool feeling,” she said.
“I have never won a national
title either though.”
The 15-year-old has had
Benrose Silver Shadow for
just over a year and Te Ngaio
Raggamuffin for two years.

Big wins for Leeston-Southbridge, Weedons
LEESTON-Southbridge
maintained their strong grip on
second in the Canterbury country
one-day cricket competition with
a five-wicket win over Kaiapoi at
Leeston Park on Saturday.
After winning the toss and
electing to field, the hosts soon
had Kaiapoi in trouble with Ben
Chamberlain removing the top
three batsman with just 31 runs
on the board.
Partnerships continued to be
hard to build as Ben Donkers
ripped through the middle and
lower order on his way to 4-24
to restrict Kaiapoi to 137 all out
inside 42 overs.
Wayne Bell’s 37 was the only bit
of resistance for the visitors.
Leeston-Southbridge’s run
chase was anchored by an
unbeaten 47 from Tim Gruijters
and handy contributions from
Chamberlain (30) and Rupert
Young (23) as they chased down
the target with 15 overs to spare.
Weedons kept their faint
semi-final hopes alive with
a comfortable 124-run win
over cellar-dwellers Darfield at
Weedons Domain.
A 100-run third wicket
partnership between
wicketkeeper Todd Inness (80)
and Sam Wilson (56) set the tone
for the hosts as they posted 222
for nine from their 45 overs.
Darfield opening quick bowler
Toby Kars picked up 5-40 to
keep his team in the game at the
halfway point.
However, Darfield’s run chase
never gained momentum.
Only four batsmen made it to
double figures as they limped to
98 all out in 25 overs.
Charlie Robson was the pick of
the Weedons bowlers with 4-24
from his seven overs.
Southbrook stay at top spot on
the ladder after a 55-run win over
Sefton at Southbrook Domain.
The home team could thank
a 70-run ninth wicket stand
between Sam Ermerins (30) and
Luan Blom (38 not out) for their
healthy 252 all out. The required
rate of more than five runs an
over proved too much for Sefton
as they could only manage 197/7
in reply, in spite of a gritty 78
from opener Tim Harrison.
Oxford held their nerve to
chase down Cheviot’s target of
191 and claim victory by two
wickets at Cheviot Domain. An
unbeaten 62 from wicketkeeperbatsman
David Fulton proved the
difference.
On Saturday Southbrook
will host Weedons, Sefton will
welcome Cheviot, Leeston-
Southbridge will travel to face
Oxford and Darfield will hit the
road to play Kaiapoi.

Lincoln teen’s volleyball gold
• By Jacob Page
LINCOLN HIGH School
volleyballer Ellen Watts
surprised herself by winning a
gold medal at the national
beach championships in
Mt Maunganui.
The 16-year-old won the
under-17 national doubles
title with Kate Allan from St
Andrew’s College.
The pair
were playing
together for
the first time
and represented
Canterbury
at the championships.
They won
Ellen Watts
Wednesday February 6 2019
all seven of
their games
and did not drop a set until the
final.
“It made me so happy to be in
a final and win it because all the
hard work paid off,” Ellen said.
They beat North Harbour in
the final, winning two sets to
one.
“I had no idea what to expect
as it was my first beach volleyball
tournament of any kind.”
Ellen, who lives between
Lincoln and Tai Tapu, said she
and Kate had met before on the
netball court.
“While we knew each other
we’d never played together
so it took a while to get our
combination right and to get our
calls right,” Ellen said.
“I watched the senior As at
school and thought I’d give it a
go.” Previously she has played
netball, tennis and touch rugby
socially.
“It’s harder to run in the sand
and beach (volleyball) is more
about smart play rather than
hitting the hall hard like in
indoor.”
Ellen will start her second
season with the Lincoln High
School senior A indoor volleyball

team, where she is a pass/hitter.
“I’ve certainly improved in
both areas but winning a beach
title has proved to myself that I
can do it and I just have to keep
working hard.”
Ellen made the South Island
age-group indoor volleyball
team last season and is eager to
make the New Zealand squads
for both indoor and beach over
the next 12 months.

Glover wants to
drive out of TQ class
on a winning note
• By Allan Batt
SPEEDWAY HAS been a way
of life for 30-year-old Rollestonbased
racer Kyle Glover.
And while he sees this
weekend’s New Zealand TQ
championship at Ruapuna as
one of the last opportunities to
earn a podium spot in the class at
national level, he is sure he will be
around the tracks for many years
to come.
“I’m in my 14th season of
racing and we’ve purchased an
Esslinger-powered midget, but
while I plan on hanging onto the
T.Q for a while, the focus will
move up to the bigger class in
time,” he said.
Glover has been a dominant
force on the South Island scene
in recent years, finishing second
in last year’s New Zealand TQ
grand prix and being a former
South Island champion. But he
says that it’s likely to be the last
TQ nationals he contests at his
home track, and wants to make it
a memorable one.
“It’s going to be a really tough
weekend of racing. With 45
entries, including a bunch from
the North Island, it will be a
torrid battle with just 24 cars
facing the starter for the 25-lap
final. I’m happy with how I’ve
been going this season and am
SELWYN TIMES
ready for this.” The defending
champion is Prebbleton’s Jeremy
Webb who has struck form at the
right time of the season, winning
the two most recent TQ features
at Ruapuna. Glover thinks that
Webb is just one of a number of
genuine contenders.
“The Bakers from Auckland are
going to be tough with Lawrence
and his two sons Ryan and Scott
all highly-rated drivers. Duane
Todd from Napier is a former
national champion, Ryan Barry
from Auckland is always at the
pointy part of the finishing line,
and locally, Liam McCoubrey is
always a tough opponent and he’s
had a podium at the nationals to
back that up.”
Glover is adamant lapped
traffic will be a factor in the event
and that quick decisions will be
vital for success.
“The traffic will be thick
for at least the first half of the
race. An incorrect line or snap
decision could impact very
quickly on drivers’ chances. It
will be as much about drivers’
concentration as it will be about
car performance.”
He is also wary of a challenge
from two of Christchurch’s
top sprintcar drivers, Matt
Leversedge and Jamie Duff.

Versatility key to Sportage’s success
ONE OF MY work colleagues
has a reasonably new Kia
Sportage sport utility vehicle.
I’ve often talked to her about
her choice, she says it suits her
busy lifestyle with a youngster in
tow, as well as recreational interests.
It’s also a nice driving experience,
the high, upright seating
position offers a commanding
view and everything is laid out
internally for ease of use.
There are many reasons why
the Sportage has been a highselling
SUV in this country, it
appeals to families who want the
practicality of a wagon without it
being too big.
The Sportage sits squarely in
the mid-size SUV bracket, think
Toyota RAV4 or Honda CRV.
Sure, there are other SUVs in the
Kia stable such as Sorento and
Carnival, however, the Sportage
is there for those who don’t need
huge. Kia Motors has a new
Sportage for 2019. Well, it’s pretty
much a facelift really, there’s new
cosmetic detailing both internally
and externally and the fitment of
additional equipment, much of it
unseen for safety purposes.
Beneath, not a lot has changed
mechanically, the petrol and
diesel engine options are all a
carryover. However, there has
been considerable suspension
development work carried out
to suit down under conditions;
KIA SPORTAGE: Freshened up with a facelift.
effectively it means there’s a
choice of a soft setting in some
models, while a new GT Line
incorporates spring and damper
rates biased towards sporty. There
are two petrol powertrain options
in Sportage, a 2-litre unit and a
2.4-litre unit, while a 2-litre diesel
rounds out the range, bearing in
mind there is also the option of
four-wheel-drive in some variants.
The evaluation car was a new
front-drive-only GT Line Urban
model with the entry-level 2-litre
petrol power plant. The engine is
a beauty in terms of smoothness
and refinement, and it is channelled
through a paddle-shift
six-speed automatic transmission,
the whole driveline reeks of
sophistication.
The engine is rated by Kia at
114kW and 192Nm.
Even though it loses the strong
torque spread of its 2.4-litre stablemate,
the 1999cc unit has solid
bottom end strength realised
at 4000rpm. As a consequence,
mid-range acceleration is ushered
in respectably, and with the
lively behaviour common with
twin-camshaft engines it also
likes to have the revs up offering
a vibrant response to accelerator
request, and quick downshifts
through the transmission.
There are three driverselectable
engine management
protocols in the Sportage. I used
normal mostly, but there are eco
and sport settings which, quite
obviously, refer to economical
engine management or for more
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
response when sport mode is
selected.
What I find most surprising
about the modern SUV is
the way they handle, they have
become almost car-like in the
way they have been engineered to
tackle a corner. A lot of that has
to do with the development work
I mentioned in my introduction,
there is a definite firmness
underneath, but it doesn’t greatly
affect ride comfort.
The big benefit is the way the
Sportage steers and behaves in a
corner, even without four-wheeldrive
the suspension is a complex
fully independent type and that
allows good freedom of movement
and strong body balance.
In terms of specification, the
Sportage GT Line Urban wants
for little. At $45,990 it gets all
of Kia’s high-tech safety kit and
plenty for comfort and convenience,
including for 2019 new 19in
wheels, touch screen in-cabin
display, panoramic sun roof and
LED lighting network. As an
aside, the Sportage range starts at
• Price – Kia Sportage GT
Urban, $45,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4495mm; width, 1855mm;
height, 1655mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1999cc, 114kW, 192Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.1sec
• Fuel usage – 8.2l/100km
just $35,990 which, by my way of
thinking, is fabulous value.
There’s been a lot of fresh and
interesting product coming out of
the Kia factories in recent years.
The company has a lot of appealing
product which is very suitable
for New Zealand roads and drivers.
And, of course, with the Niro
range there are also hybrids and
electric vehicles which are much
the talking point today.
However, the Sportage is there
for those who like traditional. I’m
sure those who choose the midsize
crossover will, just like my
colleague, find it a great choice.

Check before you light
Select a sheltered site at least 10 to 30
metres from, and downwind of shelter belts,
hedges, fences, buildings, neighbouring
properties or anything else that could catch
alight and burn. Build your bonfire several
days before you light it. Cover it, and leave
it to dry out.
You may want to let your neighbours
know the date and time of your fire as a
courtesy to reduce unnecessary emergency
calls to Fire and Emergency.
Dampen down a 3-metre area around
the bonfire, to prevent any unplanned fires.
Have a hose, water sprayer, a shovel and dirt
or a mechanical digger within easy reach in
case the fire gets out of control.
At least one person equipped with a
shovel must monitor the fire at all times and
include a ‘no go’ zone around the bonfire to
keep children and pets safe.
Your fire must be completely extinguished
before leaving the area. Mix up the water
with ashes and embers with a shovel and
repeat these steps until the fire is completely
out.
Remember to keep an eye on your bonfire
for two days after you put it out.
Dial 111 immediately in an emergency.
Anything that could cause loss of life, serious
injury or loss of property is a fire emergency.
With the dry and hot weather comes
the increased risk of rural fires across the
Selwyn district.
Before you light an outdoor fire, you
need to check the fire season by visiting the
Fire and Emergency New Zealand website
www.checkitsalright.nz as you may need to
apply for a fire permit.
One way rural property owners can
reduce the risk of fire on their properties is
to be very careful using machinery during
an extreme fire danger period as sparks
from vehicles or mowers could easily start
a fire.
It is also a good idea to carry appropriate
fire extinguishers, shovels, or knapsack
sprayers.
If you are going to light a fire and have the
permit if required, check the latest weather
and wind speed and direction. Only light
your fire when there is little or no wind
forecast.

Make sure you pamper your cauliflower
Cauliflower appreciates
a bit of pampering, and
rewards you with a flower
that has become a true
Kiwi favourite. Diana
Noonan looks into the
classic vege
KIWIS LOVE ’EM
In New Zealand, cauliflower
can sometimes get bad press,
but that’s only because those
who don’t favour the vegetable
are so vocal in their dislike for
it. In fact, Kiwis can’t think
too badly of caulis because,
along with broccoli, we each
consume around 4.43kg a year
of the brassica. New Zealand
grows close to 49,000 tonnes of
broccoli and cauli a year (that’s
a lot of cauliflower cheese!), and
pay around $4/kg for the curds
at the supermarket. Commercial
cauliflower growing takes place
mainly in mid-North Island
regions with warmer climatic
conditions that allow for yearround
production. Because
caulis react badly to extreme
weather events, prices for the
vegetable can skyrocket with
little warning.
COLOURFUL CAULIS
It’s tempting to think that
green, orange and purple
Once thought of as winter-only produce, modern varieties of
cauliflower ensure we can now enjoy this versatile vegetable
throughout the year, and in a variety of colours.
caulis are the result of genetic
modification, but plant breeders
assure us the rainbow-coloured
curds are the product of
selective breeding. Scientists
are also claiming that coloured
caulis are better for us than
white varieties. The orange
variety is said to have 25 times
the concentration of beta
carotene than white varieties,
while purple curds contain
anthocyanin that may help
prevent heart disease.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Cauliflower and its cousin,
broccoli, have a very close
connection. Their botanical
variety is botrytis which,
although sounding like
something you wouldn’t want
to find in your greenhouse,
actually comes from a Greek
word that means ‘cluster’, as
in a bunch of grapes. Cauli
comes from caulis (the Latin
word for cabbage) and floris,
meaning flower.
Grow your own caulis
– The 3-Ps of success
PREPARE
Caulis are expensive to buy
so it’s worth putting in all the
effort required to prepare an
excellent bed for them to grow
in. Your garden soil should be
deeply dug (at least a spadeblade
deep), finely worked up,
well draining and in full sun.
Well-rotted animal manure and
as much compost as you can
spare should be added to the
soil, along with a scattering of
dolomite lime to bring the pH
level to between 6.5 and 7.5. If
you are not an organic gardener,
and want to use a garden
fertiliser to increase
soil nutrients, choose one that is
lower in nitrogen. If you don’t,
your caulis will produce leaf at
the expense of curd.
PROTECT
Young cauli seedlings are a
favourite food of slugs and snails.
Protect them with a scattering
of slug bait. Young seedlings are
vulnerable to being disturbed
and dug up by domestic animals
and birds. Cover them with
netting to protect them. By
choosing a fine mesh netting,
you will also have the advantage
of keeping white butterfly off
your plants.
PAMPER
While enjoying good drainage,
the roots of cauliflowers do not
like to dry out completely so keep
soil damp and mulch around the
plants. During the first month of
growth, side-dress the seedlings
with liquid manure, but use more
seaweed than animal manure
in your mix. Seaweed contains
potassium, which encourages
flowering and, after all, your
cauli is just that – a flower.
WHEN TO SOW & GROW
CAULI
If you want to grow your
own cauli from seed, be aware
that it is not always a reliable
germinator so sow a pinch
more seed than you would
with, say, cabbage. It takes
approximately four weeks from
sowing to transplanting time.
In warmer regions, May to
June are the traditional months
for transplanting cauliflower
seedlings into the garden. In
cooler regions, cauli can be
planted throughout spring and
summer but seedlings placed
in the garden in autumn are
unlikely to mature until late
in the following spring.

nigel and lisa welcome customers
to their exciting new premises
Nigel and Lisa Fleck are a local family who have two primary school
aged children at school locally, and an older son who is now working
in the automotive industry in Christchurch. Lisa was born and raised
in Selwyn and Nigel has lived here for over 20 years. “We love living
in Selwyn, and think we are very lucky to live in such a vibrant and
growing community,” said Lisa. “Our passion for our business is really
about the people, our incredible staff and our customers. We love that
we have a small enough town that lots of customers feel like friends”.
Nigel and Lisa purchased Jones Road Auto in 2012. It has grown from
2 staff to 14 and now has two branches, Jones Road Auto in Rolleston
and Selwyn Auto in Springston. Their core values have always been
conducting themselves with integrity, providing exceptional service
and a high standard of workmanship.
Nigel has over 20 years of mechanical experience and Lisa is a
qualified financial advisor, who previously worked in the banking sector
in both investment and lending capacities. Working together as a team
they bring a great mix of skills, complementing each other perfectly.
“The business has grown massively from what was taken on, that
has been thanks to our amazing local community,” said Lisa. “We are
community-focused people and make sure we are continually giving
back to our community.”

taking
the next step
Nigel and Lisa are very excited to take the next step and move
from leasing to owning their own premises. The new premises are
purpose built and twice the size of the current premises.
The couple is proud to employ a great team of experienced,
high performing mechanics. “We love that we have a great work
environment and think that the positivity comes through to our
customers,” said Lisa. “Our office staff give fabulous customer
service and we’re excited to change things up in the new premises
by adding a service advisor/dedicated mechanic in the front office
to be on hand to answer queries, quote jobs and generally assist
customers on the spot.”
Jones Road Auto is making the most of the opportunity to increase
and upgrade equipment, and also to provide more space and staff
to reduce their waiting lists and create capacity for growth. They
have added an additional four hoists, upgraded some WOF testing
and diagnostic equipment, and also Electric Vehicle charging points
to ready themselves for future technology changes - currently
training their staff to be able to service and repair these vehicles.
They have added an additional WOF bay so that they can get
through those while-you-wait WOFs at twice the speed!
Nigel and Lisa have also added a
dedicated Fleet servicing lane in
response to local demand for more
specialised Fleet servicing. “We are
excited to grow this new part of our business
Nigel and
Lisa Fleck
and have an exciting Fleet offering and dedicated management
system. The growth of business in Selwyn has been phenomenal
and we’re going to now have the space to cope with that demand”.

when we started with no experience through to this next milestone
in our journey “ and add, “We can’t wait to see you at the new

Presenting your home for sale?
The presentation of your home
doesn’t mean spending thousands
on an upgrade either! So why
wouldn’t you want to do everything
possible to make it appealing to
prospective purchasers?
Street appeal
The exterior of your home is the first
thing buyers will see, so the property
needs to look well-kept and inviting. Take
a look at your place from the street and
see it through a buyer’s eyes. So, cut the
lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add
some garden lights and place a nice pot or
plant by the front door. Ensure the house
exterior is cleaned or freshened with new
paint if necessary, hose down drives, paths
and fences, put stylish new numbers on
the house and perhaps buy a funky new
letter box!
Make an entrance
Even if your entrance or hallway is
small, you can still give it some wow! A
large mirror adds light and makes an
entrance look twice the size. Fresh flowers,
candles or a stylish piece of art create an
inviting first impression. Ensure floors are
clean whether timber, tiles or carpet.
Create space
Light, air and space are three key
factors in presenting a home to the
best advantage. Open up curtains
and windows and use lamps and light
fittings for mood and ambience. Arrange
furniture to maximise space and remove
items that make the room appear
cramped.
Fresh feel
Freshen rooms with new paint if
necessary, but aim for neutral tones which
are more versatile for buyers. Add a splash
of colour in cushions, throws, artwork or
a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet or
bedspread and always make the bed!
Clear out clutter
Storage space sells but clutter
complicates! Clean out your cupboards,
shelves and garage, and get rid of
unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect
wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up
and reduce the number of photos, books,
nicknacks on display – they distract
buyers, too!
Beautify the bathroom
Replace or resurface fittings if necessary,
but otherwise you can simply beautify
your bathroom with thorough and
fastidious cleaning, thick opulent towels,
a tray of beautiful soaps and some lush,
green plants. Invest in a new shower
curtain or laundry hamper, and maybe a
sleek, modern towel rail.
Clean clean clean
Cleaning is a mandatory part of
selling your home: have carpets, rugs
and upholstery commercially cleaned
and sanitised, clean drapes and blinds to
look like new, polish glass and furniture,
wash down all surfaces and fittings in
the bathroom and kitchen, clean all light
fittings, wash windows inside and out,
deodorise your home to eliminate any
odours from pets, cooking or smoke.
Outdoor spaces
Even a small patio, deck or terrace
can be enhanced with a café table and
chairs. Add some colourful accessories –
placemats, candle lamps, pots and plants,
and there you have an extra living area.
If space is not limited, hang a hammock,
string some outdoor lights, position a
garden sculpture or create a water feature
that buyers will love.
Hire a handyman
Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked
tiles, broken fences, leaking toilets or
appliances that don’t work are a turn-off
for buyers. If you can’t repair or replace
things yourself, then hire a handyman to
make sure everything in your home works
as it should.
Finish it first
Buyers want to see a finished home,
not one that’s still being fixed! So finish
everything before you list your home
for sale, then launch it onto the market
when it looks its absolute best – you have
nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Should I sell
my house
by myself?
Selling a property is easy, right? All
you need to do is stick a ‘for sale’ sign out
front, put a few photos online and hold
a couple of open homes. Job done! Why
wouldn’t you do it yourself?
The fact that private sales made up just
10 per cent of all residential property
sales in New Zealand in the year to July
(down from 13 per cent in 2017 and 17
per cent in 2014) might be a clue that it’s
not as simple and straightforward as you
might think. Research by the industry
membership organisation Real Estate
Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) found
that the median price for properties sold
by real estate agents was 10.9 per cent
higher than private sales.
“Property transactions are big financial
deals and they can get complicated very
quickly,” says Real Estate Authority chief
executive Kevin Lampen-Smith.
“Selling a home, which is likely to
be your biggest asset as well as being a
physical and emotional roof over your
head, is not like selling a used car or
flogging your unwanted Christmas
presents on TradeMe.”
If you decide to sell your property
privately, you will absolutely save on the
commission that you’d otherwise pay a
real estate agent,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Your target is to get at least close to
what an agent would get for your house.
You pay commission to an agent for
them to get the best price and that extra
value is what they will tell you pays your
commission for you, along with less
hassle on the DIY front.”
You know your property better than
anyone, so you’re in a good position to
‘sell’ its features. You’ll have complete
control over the process because you’ll
be dealing directly with potential buyers.
You get to decide every step of the
process, including choosing the method
of sale and setting the price.
However, with complete power comes
complete responsibility, Lampen-Smith
says.
“When you’re selling a property, you
have a legal obligation to share all the
relevant information about it, such as
any issues with the boundary or title, any
unconsented building work or alterations,
any known weathertightness issues
and whether there are any proposed
developments that could have an impact
on a buyer’s access, views or enjoyment.
“If you fail to do this, you could be in
breach of your agreement with the buyer.
This could put the sale in jeopardy, or the
buyer could seek compensation and take
you to court.”
Lampen-Smith says would-be private
sellers will need sharp marketing and
negotiation skills, as well as the ability to
be objective.
“What you think of the property and
what it’s worth won’t necessarily be
shared by potential buyers,” he says.
“It’s easy to sell a property when there
are a few houses for sale and many
buyers, but the market isn’t as buoyant
now in parts of the country as it was
a year ago. Your expectations of price
and ease of sale are aligned with market
conditions. These are things that real
estate agents think about day in and day
out.”
If you’re still keen to DIY it, make sure
you’ve got some good advice from the
experts.
“It can be very useful to get an
independent assessment of what your
property is worth, so you can work out
the price you’ll be willing to accept,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“You can research online (for free)
or pay for a registered valuation. We
strongly recommend that you use a
lawyer or conveyancer to handle all the
legal documentation, including the sale
and purchase agreement. You may also
want to consider help when it comes
to preparing the property for viewings,
whether that means engaging a home
staging company who will make it look
pretty, or a trusted friend to run any open
homes.”
Ultimately, there’s no reason why you
can’t sell your own property if you think
you’ve got the time, skills and energy.
You’ll need to be ready to juggle a lot
of things at once – including marketing
and negotiation – on top of your usual
responsibilities. Whatever you do, make
sure you go into the process with your
eyes open.

Incorporating show homes
in your planning process
There are many things to think about when you’re
considering building a new home.
For Sale - Rolleston

Offers Invited
Browsing show homes is a fantastic way
to get you thinking about practicalities,
needs, aesthetics and your wish list! Here
are a few consideration’s to help spark your
planning process.
• What is your exterior style? What kind
of homes do you like? Look around and
take a mental note of what you are drawn
to most.
• What kind of exterior materials do you
like? Once you’ve worked out the look
you like, research what materials are
available and find out about durability.
• How will you use your house? It’s
important to most people to have a good
indoor/outdoor flow and attractive,
sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your
home in various seasons.
• Landscaping is important. Look around
and consider what you like and don’t like.
Are you a structured formal garden type
or do you like a contemporary native
style?
• Sustainability and future-proofing
aren’t just buzzwords anymore. It’s
very important for your new home to
be environmentally friendly. Research
insulation requirements, solar hot water
heating, ventilation options and new
technology to ensure your home will be
affordable to run.
• Interior décor is really exciting. This is
where show homes can really help you get
to know current trends, colours, beautiful
furnishings and furniture. Collect home
magazines and figure out what you’d love
to emulate.
• Also, pause to give thought to
architectural components inside. Do you
remember a raised ceiling? What kind of
finishing do top homes use and which
styles are you drawn to?
• Heating is also a consideration. Have a
look at what show homes are offering.
• Kitchens form the heart of the house.
Show homes give you insight into the
latest styles, materials and storage
facilities available.
• Bathrooms are another big component.
They need to be as luxurious as you can
make them, so start dreaming.

Stages of a new
house build
21
Before pegs go into the ground for a new house build there is
work to do.
An engineer will advise on a suitable foundation design
for the land to be built on, a soil test and surveying of the
fall of the land will be undertaken as part of Council consent
requirements, and a draftsperson or architect will draw up
a design and finalise plans which incorporate considerable
building specifications.
Before construction can get underway, building consent
must be gained from the local Council. This involves
submitting plans and supporting documentation, including
advising the licensed building practitioners who will complete
the work. The cost of consent is paid up front and covers
Council inspections, carried out at specific stages of the build.
Before the foundations are laid the site is scraped and loose
soil removed. A standard foundation will require a minimum
of a site scraping with the foundations completed as per the
building code. Where the ground does not meet minimum
building standards an engineer designed foundation will be
needed.
Once the foundations have been poured (often the job of
a specialised concrete placer) the drainlayer digs the drains
for sewerage, storm water and water supply. This work may
include an earlier percolation test. This ascertains the rate
water dissipates into the soil, with sandy soils absorbing more
water than denser clay based soils.
The house frames and trusses are produced off-site then
freighted in sections where the builder stands and fixes these
before the roof and gutters are put on, a task usually contracted
out to a roofing contractor. Scaffolding will be erected for
safety. The frames are then wrapped with a waterproof eco
ply or building wrap then the aluminium joinery (windows
and doors) are fitted. Installation of the cladding follows, the
plumber and electrician carry out pre-piping and pre-wiring
work, and the builder installs the internal doors.
Insulation is inserted in the walls and ceilings before the Gib
board is fixed and the plasterer prepares the walls and ceilings
for painting. Next the builder fits the architrave and skirtings,
the electrician drills the power point and lighting holes and
the plumber installs the bath. The painter
sands and paints the walls with the numbers
of coats applied depending on how dark the
chosen paint is. The kitchen may be installed
before the internal painting though usually
afterwards.
Final plumbing work includes shower,
bathroom fittings and toilet installation while
the electrician will be on the job to mount
and connect lights, power points, appliances
and other electrical fittings, as well as
sorting the final power connection. Tiling is
completed before vinyl or carpet flooring is
laid. Lastly, the painter returns to complete
any touch-ups needed.
Outside, concreting or asphalting is
generally one of the last jobs followed by
hard and soft landscaping such as building
decks, internal fences, laying lawns and
preparing garden beds.
Before the owners can move, a Council
Code of Compliance certificate should be
gained so the home has full insurance cover.
The electrician carries out
pre-wiring work.
Insulation is in place before
internal wall linings.
House frames and trusses are usually produced off-site.
Landscaping is completed last.
