Making a difference in young people’s lives
• By Anan Zaki
MAKING A difference before
teens grow up.
That is Senior Constable
Bruce Ward’s ambition as he
looks forward to becoming the
district’s first dedicated youth
aid police officer.
Previously, he has split his
time as the youth aid officer
responsible for both Hornby
and the district. But as a result
of additional police resources,
Senior Constable Ward will be
based in the district full-time,
and work out of the Rolleston
station.

commuter
rail service
• By Anan Zaki
THE BRAKES have been put
on Labour’s promise to bring
commuter rail to Rolleston.
Prior to the 2017 general
election, the Labour Party stated
that if elected, it would provide
$100 million for public transport
in Canterbury – starting with a
commuter rail service between
Rolleston and the Christchurch
CBD.
However, Transport Minister
Phil Twyford told Selwyn Times
last week that Environment
Canterbury must first propose
a commuter rail service before
money can be allocated.
“ECan needs to have a rail
service proposed in their regional
land transport plan before it can
be evaluated and considered for
funding,” Mr Twyford said.
Selwyn MP Amy Adams called
the statement a “cop-out” and said
the pledge was a “poorly thoughtout
election bribe.”
“For the minister to now
say it would be up to ECan to
propose such a service before the
Government would consider it, is
a cop-out,” she said.

SELWYN TIMES
POLICE CHIEFS have made the right
move in appointing the district’s first youth
aid officer.
As Selwyn’s population grows it brings
with it all of the issues other major centres
have.
We pointed out last week, youth crime and disorder issues are
starting to make their mark in Rolleston – graffiti is a sure sign
of what lies ahead.
As the Lesstons, Lincolns and other urban areas also grow in
size, they too will start to have problems they have never really
had.
So appointing Bruce Ward, who I am reliably told is a great fit
for the role, can only bring benefits.
Our article on the crammed West Melton School bus last
month appears to have paid dividends. See page 6.

Tourism operators
slam council for lack of support
LINCOLN EVENT CENTRE
liveinlincoln.nz
In Brief
• By Anan Zaki
A HORORATA business leader
has slammed the district council
for not supporting the tourism
industry.
Ballooning Canterbury
co-founder Michael Oakley
said tourism
operators have
mainly had to
self-promote
the district as a
holiday destination.
“The support
Michael Oakley
we get from
the council is
pretty much
zilch I feel, and I’m saying it
because it ain’t happening,’’ Mr
Oakley said.
The district council brought
tourism operators together last
year and identified activities in
the district to promote, he said.
“We’ve got some world-class operators
here and activities and a lot
of people aren’t hearing about us.
And the disappointing thing I get
from a number of passengers is:
‘We only came to Selwyn because
we wanted to do the ballooning
because there’s not much else to
do’. And that’s real sad.”

IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE MEN’S ROOM
Mr Oakley also criticised the
district council’s Sensational
Selwyn Awards, where The Tea
House in Lincoln took out the
tourism award in 2016.
“I think they [awards] are
the biggest joke out. It was a
joke when you get a restaurant
getting the tourism award [in
2016],” he said.
“They closed six months after
they won the award, and here
we are, bringing in hundreds
of people into Selwyn, putting
people into accommodation.”
Mr Oakley believed the district
also missed an opportunity
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
“Christchurch was closed
and we had great activities out
here in Selwyn but there was no
real push to get people into the
Selwyn area to try our activities,”
he said.
Ms Kidd said the council is
currently working on campaigns
aligned with Tourism New Zealand
and ChristchurchNZ.
“We are continuing to develop
the council’s Ski Selwyn Six
website, promoting our fantastic
ski fields, with five great club
fields and one commercial field.”

HEDGE FIRE
A rubbish fire spread to a
hedge at a property on Springs
Rd near Lincoln on Thursday.
One appliance and two tankers
from Lincoln Fire Station were
called to the incident at about
3pm. Lincoln chief fire officer
Jeremy Greenwood said the
fire was contained in about 15
minutes.
CAR CRASH
A motorist hit a stationary car
in Doyleston on Saturday night.
Leeston and Southbridge fire
crews were called to the incident
just before 11pm. Leeston chief
fire officer Lloyd Clausen said
only one person was involved –
the driver of the moving vehicle.
The male driver was unhurt, he
said.
STATION MAKEOVER
Over the next two weeks
the Coalgate Fire Station
will be getting a new paint
job. Chief fire officer Phillip
Shaw said it had been “several
years” since the station got its
last makeover. “Hopefully we
don’t get anything to disrupt
the painters,” Mr Shaw
said.

centre at
Weedons
opened
THE WEEDONS Community
Centre was opened on Friday.
Construction of the $830,000
facility began in May 2018 and
was completed in December 2018.
District council major projects
property manager John Reid said
the new Weedons Community
Centre will provide a modern
facility for the local community
as well as the sports groups who
regularly use the reserve.
“It’s a fit-for-purpose facility
that recognises the relatively limited
size of the local community,
and which will provide the wider
Selwyn region with a small boutique
facility available for smaller
functions,” Mr Reid said.
The project has been in the
pipeline since 2011 when the
first plans were drawn up, said
Weedons Reserve Committee
chairman Peter Holmes.
“With the many challenges
we’ve faced along the way, it’s
great to see the building finally
completed,” Mr Holmes said.
The new facility has a multipurpose
room, a kitchen and
storeroom, 24-hour accessible
toilet and two changing rooms.

Ms Adams believes the
Government has realised the
project does not “stack up” –
but she would not tell Selwyn

[Labour] would

they would fund

from Labour.”
Mr Twyford
said the design

of the project
would be known
once ECan has
completed its

the future of

Christchurch.
ECan public transport

last year for the New Zealand
Transport Agency to consider
endorsing.
“This business case identifies
the need to complete a detailed
investigation and analysis into
the viability, location, timing and
preferred mode for rapid transit
to service and support greater
Christchurch over the next 30
years,” Mr Gibbon said.
ECan confirmed it has not
received the $100 million for
commuter rail which Labour
pledged before the election.
However, Mr Twyford said the
Government is still committed
to commuter rail.
“Our Government is
committed to developing
transport options in our urban
areas by investing nearly $4
billion in public transport, rapid
transit and metro rail over the
next three years,” he said.
Ms Adams said those
comments fell short of what was
promised to Rolleston.
“The South Island keeps
missing out in terms of transport
spending as Labour focuses
only on their pet projects in
Auckland,” she said.
Mr Twyford disagreed, saying
Canterbury does get support.
“It’s disappointing that
Amy Adams doesn’t seem
to remember how transport
projects are funded,” he said.
“Councils need to propose
transport projects to be funded
and our Government is investing
$176 million in public transport
in Canterbury in this three-year
period, a 24 per cent increase
compared to the previous
Government,” he said.
But Ms Adams said Mr
Twyford is “hiding behind
process.”
“We are talking about a
clear and unequivocal election
promise that Labour made that
they have not fulfilled. None
of the spending the minister
referred to is for a commuter rail
service between Christchurch
and Rolleston or indeed
anywhere in Canterbury.”

Public notified of quarry proposal
• By Anan Zaki
MORE THAN a year after plans

quarry proposal near Weedons
has finally been publicly notified.
Its application for resource
consents from both Environment
Canterbury and the
district council was notified on
Saturday.
Fulton

It applied for

from ECan
to discharge
contaminants,
stormwater and also applied for
a water permit to use water for
aggregate washing.
Fulton Hogan also applied
for consents from the district
council for land use for gravel
extraction and processing.
Fulton Hogan is seeking an
unlimited duration for all land
use consents and 35 years for its
discharge permits.
The public notification
comes about 18 months after
Fulton Hogan first announced
its intentions to quarry in the
area.
Weedons quarry opponent
Simon Moore said it has been a
long wait and the process had
taken a toll on residents.
“I know people that have taken

Mr Moore said the effect on

Five taken

after crash
• By Anan Zaki
FIVE PEOPLE were hurt after a
two-car crash near Ladbrooks on
Friday.
The crash, at the intersection of
Ellesmere and Robinsons Rd, happened
at about 2.20pm.
Police said the crash wasn’t
serious, and its serious crash
unit would not investigate the
incident.
The cause of the crash is unclear
and the intersection was closed
for a period of time after the incident,
a police spokeswoman said.
A St John Ambulance spokesman
said all five injured people
were taken to Christchurch
Hospital.
Three patients had moderate
injuries and the remaining two
had minor injuries, the spokesman
said.
A business close to the crash
said that it had not heard anything
until after the crash had
happened.
According to the New

intersection has recorded two
serious injury crashes and two
minor and non-injury crashes
since 2014.

University back
to pre-quake
numbers
THE EFFECTS of the
Canterbury earthquakes on
student numbers at Lincoln
University may finally be over.
The total number of equivalent
full-time students enrolling for
semester one this year is the
highest since the province was
hit by the series of quakes which
began in September 2010.
In 2010, semester one EFTS
stood at 1067 – in 2019 they are
at 1061.
Lincoln University acting
vice-chancellor Bruce McKenzie
said the university had worked
hard to regain the pre-quake
numbers.
Said Professor McKenzie:
“I think the figures show that
Lincoln University is seen as
an institution which provides a
world-class education, and the
province provides opportunities
for a great future. It is a vote of
confidence in us, and in Canterbury.”
He said one of the focuses
in 2019 was to continuing to
grow the number of Maori and
Pasifika students at Lincoln.
Six new scholarships started
this year to support and
encourage Maori and Pasifika
students to achieve their
aspirations.
Solution to crowding on school bus

THE MINISTRY of Education

ogy class at Hornby High School.
The Ministry has now provided
funding for an additional bus.
Ms Paris said the pupils were
happy with the decision to make
funding available.
She said she could not be certain
if public pressure played a
role in the Ministry changing its
mind about funding the bus.
“We did everything in our
power,” she said.
The school was also prepared
to self-fund the bus if it had to,
Ms Paris said.
“As a board we had actually
made a decision to fund it [the
additional bus]. Because a number
of us [at the board] have children
in the class and it doesn’t sit
well with us.”
The children were also happy
with the move. Ms Paris said
she now hopes seat belts become
mandatory on all school buses
across the country.
“I think it would be really nice
if they had seat belts on the bus if
you want my honest opinion.”
“It’s kind of ludicrous . . .
maybe that’s just my view but I
would just love to see seat belts
on school buses,” Ms Paris
said.
Said Ministry of Education
head of education infrastructure
Kim Shannon:
“Although the bus was being
operated safely within its legal
limits, enrolment information
and growth projections for West
Melton School showed a rapidly
SELWYN TIMES
increasing roll which would have

good outcome for the students
and staff concerned,” Ms Adams

Steam Extravaganza
The weekend of the 13th and 14th April
promises to demonstrate how steam
worked when steam was king.
Steam Scene can be found on McLean’s
Island Road. The day is a living,
breathing, educational attraction where
steam powered machinery can be
experienced in all its glory. Devoted
enthusiasts show you what these engines
did in the early 1900’s.
The Society has recently celebrated
its 50th Anniversary. It has turned
the Steam Extravaganza into New
Zealand’s premier Steam Gathering
with exhibits ranging from models to 2
steam locomotives. We will be expecting
about 25 traction engines and other
steam driven vehicles to be on display
and operating working displays of saw
milling, sheep shearing, grain threshing,
road making, stone crushing and black
smithing. A blacksmith will be shaping
hot metal with a manner on an Anvil.
A free steam train ride will be
circulating around the perimeter of
Steam Scene with two open-sided
carriages that people can ride on to view
what is going on around you.
The Steam Museum will be operating
its many steam machines from a
wood-fired boiler. This Museum
is now known worldwide as a
must see for steam enthusiasts who
love watching the engines quietly
ticking over. Family fun can be had
looking at the scenery, watching
and listening to the huge Model
Railway in the Museum. The
scenery is based on England in
the 1950’s.
A miniature railway is running all day
with rides costing $2.00. Major working
displays in purposely built covered
areas will be staggered throughout the
weekend making it as easy to see how big
shiny pistons, driving rods and flywheels
are linked together to turn steam into
motive power. You can marvel at the
workers who had to work long hours on
these machines.
Food and drink stalls will be on hand
for refreshments. There is plenty of off
road parking. Gates will open at 9am
with the final demonstrations at approx.
2pm on both days.
There is Eftpos on site. Entry fee is
$15 per adult and children under 15 are
free.
No dogs are permitted.
People of all ages can get up-close to
machines and experience themselves
what it was like to operate such vehicles
in the old days as well as the sounds and
aromas generated by them.

Meet the district’s new
police youth aid officer
•From page 1
Selwyn Times reported
last week that youth crime
has been increasing in
Rolleston – but Senior
Constable Ward believes
the district is no worse
than Christchurch.
A large number of
children have moved to the
district with their families
in recent years, he said.
They are now growing up
and contributing to the
increase. “You’ve got youth
problems in Rolleston,
Leeston and Lincoln that
you didn’t have before
because there wasn’t any
youth,” Senior Constable
Ward said.
When he split his time
between Hornby and
the district, dedicating
attention to one area was
difficult.
“I could never dedicate
my full time to it [Selwyn
youth aid] because of the
logistics, it was too much.”
He will move to the

Youth aid is not an area
DEDICATED: Senior
Constable Bruce Ward
is passionate about
working with young
people in the district.
Senior Constable Ward has
always been involved in,
but he is passionate about
working in the community.
“I was seven years in
Oamaru, then three years
as a school community
officer [in Hornby] and
then nine years in youth
aid.”
“I think it’s seeing
change, you can get a
chance to change young
people. You don’t win all
the time, and you have
some young people when
they get 17 they go straight
into district court and
still offending,” Senior
Constable Ward said.
He takes pride in helping
youth offenders transform
themselves. “There’s a
lot of satisfaction when
they’re popping into see
you when they are 19 or
20. I remember one case,
he came in to see me to
say he’s got a job as an
apprentice plumber,”
Senior Constable Ward
said.
“As a 14-year-old, he
was addicted to cannabis.
It wasn’t solely me, of
course, other agencies were
involved.”
Rolleston College
principal Steve Saville
called the appointment a
“fantastic” move.
“From our perspective,
it’s absolutely wonderful,
Bruce is a great guy, we
have a good relationship
with him,” he said.
“The kids know
Bruce, he’s known in the
community, they are very
lucky to have someone who
will be able to hit the floor
running.”

Your Local Views
Time to be pro-active with tourism
Hororata
bed and
breakfast
provider Paul
McOscar
responds to
last week’s
Council Call
HIGHLIGHTED IN the twopage
Council Call supplement
the article Selwyn Tourism
Strengthening stands out.
You read it and say great.
The mayor says “this can be
attributed to the hard work of
local operators and the council’s
efforts in supporting that work.”
Pardon! Let’s be honest, credit
where credit is due. I need to be
clearer just what the council has
done.
For a number of years I along
with others have been asking
the council to become more
pro-active and get in behind
the promotion of Selwyn as a
destination not a thoroughfare
for tourists.
We look at tourism figures
increasing annually. Selwyn is in
a prime position as, at a guesstimate,
over 70 per cent who head
down to the tourist prime spots
of Tekapo, Mt Cook, and Wanaka
and of course Queenstown
pass through Selwyn by road.
That’s not to mention those that
head through Arthur’s Pass to
the West Coast.
Now I’ll hear the council say
but we have increased traveller’s
toilets (but remember with the
help of a Government subsidy)
and then of course we have freedom
camper spots.
Great that attempts to stop
behind the bush toilet stops or
rubbish accumulation from
these $20 a day (or slightly more)
spend tourists. Of course we
can say that increases our rate
bills to maintain this service for
freedom campers who we know
are here on the cheap.
Methven will leap ahead soon
with the hot water pools project.
Many of our accommodation
providers benefit from the Mt
Hutt ski season. The young like
the ski scene in Methven but
many of the mature skiers look
for more astute accommodation
elsewhere or nearby.
Let’s not forget the ski fields in
the Porter Valley.
Okay, the council will say we
have innovative brochures and
the Selwyn Experience website
(but now with a new charge if
you want anything apart from
facility name, address and contact
number).
The Hororata Community
Trust, in my opinion, does more
to support tourism in this neck
of the woods than the council.
We also have an innovative
group of tourist providers based
around Lake Coleridge who act
as a facilitator for their area to
promote tourism.
I’m sure the remaining jet
boat, balloon, horse-trekking,
gliding, fishing guides and
hunting outfitters who operate
alternative services in the
wider area will say they’d love
to have a greater share of the
tourism cake or be part of a Lake
Coleridge-type promotional
group. I haven’t mentioned the
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you have a view on a local
issue? Email anan.zaki@starmedia.kiwi
subsidiary business like cafes,
food stops, fuel stations and the
like that would also benefit from
greater tourist nights in Selwyn’s
wider district.
Council staff need to consider
the effect of their bureaucratic
decision-making and its outcomes
on the community and
businesses.
An example is the result of one
of the council’s asset team’s dealing
with issues at the popular
Glentunnel Holiday Park. This
occurrence has chased away
nearly 50 per cent of their last
year’s regular Xmas/New Year
holiday camp patronage.
The collateral effect is that
Hororata Golf Club saw one of its
worst green fee revenue periods
ever and the Glentunnel Store
was greatly affected by the downturn
in trade from the campers.
The council needs to become
more innovative in its response
to tourism and securing its share
of the tourist dollar spend in
Selwyn.
SELWYN TIMES
Reader William Adair
responds to last week’s
article about plans for a
quarry near Weedons
One hundred per cent opposed.
More than enough quarries in
this area. Fly into Christchurch
on the main east approach and
what do tourists see? Numerous
ugly quarries, prisons, and other
institutions.
I appreciate there is a need for
all these things but I think they
should not be concentrated in the
one area.
Noise, traffic? I note in your
article that Fulton Hogan said traffic
will go east. How do they know
that the material may be required
in the west/north/south. Have they
a crystal ball into the future?
Fulton Hogan said they would
use the new motorway. No onramp
from Dawsons or Curraghs
Rds. Where do they plan to access
it?
When a nor’easter is blowing
you have to slow down on the
Main West Rd as visibility is very
low due to dust.
Lifestyle blocks backed by
Christchurch City Council and
Selwyn District Council have been
embraced by people like myself
for just that, the lifestyle. They
should be supporting their lifestyle
ratepayers’ battle rather than being
non-proactive.
I live about 4km from the site.
I’m not directly effected but it’s
time the councils drew a line in
the sand.

BACKYARD CRITTERS
Budding young artist
GOOD NEWS! After a standard
“where is my food?” tantrum I
found my mouse.
Vittoria’s tantrum, not mine,
just to be clear.
My morning routine generally
consists of dragging myself out
of bed while Vittoria causes
chaos out of reach before
struggling to get both her and
my breakfasts ready before her
hungry tantrum kicks in.
It’s surprising how much you
sweat when a small child is
screaming into the kitchen while
you try and let your wife sleep
in.
So last Friday, as I “took too
long” to get her Weet-Bix and
fruit ready, Vittoria took to
pulling apart the shoe rack to
teach me a lesson.
Normally I’d step in to stop it,
but in the interest of expediency
I decided to just put it all back
together after we’d eaten.
Lo and behold, underneath
the running shoes I definitely
only talk about using was my
mouse. Thank the lord.
This week, Vittoria got her
first set of crayons. They’re out of
reach when she’s not under strict
supervision.
The walls in our rental
property are cream, I intend for
them to stay that way.
Laura managed to get her to
draw onto a pad while I was out
a couple of weeks ago and we
hung it on the fridge.
I’ve finally reached that stage
of life. So we got her the crayons
in the interest of seeing her be
able to artistically express herself
more often.
I don’t know artists because
I’m a complete philistine, but
she’s just like that classical
artist who would pour so much
passion into their art that they
eventually tear it up and eat
some of it.
So we have one more
masterpiece on the fridge so far.
In regards to my morning
routine, I will be enjoying my

Colourful spider
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 SMALL but colourful cobweb
spider that has recently arrived in
Lincoln is the white porch spider,
Cryptachaea gigantipes.
THis species is of Australian
origin and its first recorded
sighting in New Zealand was in
Auckland in 2000, although it
may well have arrived as early as
the 1980s. It is closely associated
with human habitation and is
commonly found both in and
outside of houses.
THis association with humans
is likely to have helped its
dispersal to New Zealand in
the first instance and south
from Auckland to Leeston so
far.
THe species builds a typical
cobweb which snares its prey,
including insects and some
spiders, such as the grey house
spider.
THe white porch spider has
very long legs, which are useful to
avoid bites when capturing other
spiders.

Pre-school celebrates 10 years
Local pre-school Burnham Country
Montessori is celebrating 10 years
since it opened its doors this month.
Just five minutes’ drive from Rolleston,
the pre-school is inspired by the
Montessori philosophy and Te Whāriki,
says owner Jasmine Adam who built
Burnham Country Montessori in 2009.
“The Montessori way of learning
is based on treating children as
individuals and providing opportunities
for them to experience creative
play, collaboration and relationship
building,” says Jasmine.
The pre-school on Burnham School
Road is set on a large slice of
rural countryside offering unique
experiences for its children and
featuring huge playgrounds,
vegetable patches, fruit trees and
even a Kune Kune pig for them to
look after.
Learning to care for both animals and
plant life develops understanding
and respect for the environment,
says Jasmine, while practical
exercises such as cleaning or tidying
help develop the child’s motor coordination.
“We also explain how to greet
people, how to correctly ask for
something and how to express
gratitude. By being kind and helpful
at this time develops a spirit of
helpfulness and responsibility,” says
Jasmine.
“Our vision for our tamariki is to inspire
a lifelong passion for learning, within
a sustainable environment, filled with
respect and aroha,” says Jasmine.
Three different age groups catered
for at Burnham Country Montessori –
newborns in the nursery, two to four
year olds (where there are vacancies)
and a separate classroom for four to
six-year-olds where they get to be the
“seniors” within the centre.
For more information phone Jasmine and the team at 03 347

Rolleston students say thanks
ROLLESTON College students
treated staff to an afternoon tea

terror attack.
The afternoon tea was initiated
and organised by year 9, 10
and 11 learner leaders from the
Hotoke [winter] whanau.
“The learners wanted to say
thank you and acknowledge
the aroha and bravery staff had
shown towards the learners in
the wake of Friday (March) 15
and also provide a space for staff
well-being to be enhanced,” a
school spokeswoman said.
Teachers received cards with
messages of care from several
students.
“Thank you to Chloe Duff,

The year 11 law and order
class visited the Meremere
building, home to the Canterbury
University Law School.
The students were shown the
moot room, which is the mock
trial room, and were then taken
upstairs to learn about New
Zealand sentencing legislation.
In this workshop, the
students were taught how to
evaluate the mitigating and
aggravating factors of a criminal
case. The adventure media class
also went on an overnight tramp
to Woolshed Creek.
Teacher in charge Rob

Students stepped out of their

Organisers of the Malvern 48-hour
FilmFest Challenge want to remind
enthusiastic local filmmakers that
creating a short film will take a wee bit
of preparation. “Making a 2–6 minute
film is immensely satisfying, but it’s also
something of a mission”, says organiser,
Phil Baldwin, Chair of the Malvern
Community Arts Council, local sponsor of
the FilmFest Challenge.
“There are heaps of things to think
of besides gathering your team and
equipment, writing the script, assigning
roles, and shooting the scenes. Lighting,
costumes, sound and music, continuity
and editing—these are just some of
the aspects of filmmaking that will
help your work stand out from the
competition”, Mr Baldwin advised.
A quick google search of “how to
make a short film” will reveal literally
millions of tips and tricks for making
your own film. April school holidays
may be the perfect time for teams to
see what they can do in a 48-hour
stretch, as all creative activity required
to produce an entry in the FilmFest
challenge—writing, shooting, editing,
audio mixing, and submitting an entry—
must occur within the 48 hours of the
competition, beginning Friday evening,
12 July 2019 at 7.00pm and ending
Sunday, 14 July 2019 at 7.00pm.
The completed films will be screened
for the filmmakers and the general
public at the Darfield Recreation Centre
on Saturday, 20 July 2019 at 7.00pm,
and prizes will be awarded by a panel
of judges.
Organisers are gearing up for Early
Bird registrations in May. “We have all

New Community Signals a Return
to ‘The Good Old Days’
Anyone who has ever found themselves
dreaming of a return to a simpler time when
neighbourhood kids banded together and
played out and about for hours (and their
parents were more than happy to see them
do it!) will love Acland Park - Rolleston’s
newest and fastest selling development
from the Avanda Group.
This is just the sort of activity this refreshingly
different subdivision has been designed to
encourage. “We don’t just want to build a
subdivision, we are creating a community’
explains South Island Sales and Marketing
Manager Eddie McLean. ”That’s why we have
gone to a lot of thought and effort to create
an infrastructure that is unlike any other
subdivision.”
With titles only weeks away, the attention to
detail is already evident:
• The use of a wide range of materials in the
streets, walkways and surrounding areas
makes for a significantly better aesthetic
than normal and creates an interesting
and varied environment.
• The streets themselves have been
really well designed. Large boulevards
and roundabouts create a feeling of
spaciousness and make it easier for
people to move around comfortably.
• The specially designed ‘neighbourhood’
areas in particular are very family friendly
in their design and layout. They have wide
corners designed to slow down turning traffic
and ensure drivers can’t cut corners, and to
maximise visibility.
• The neighbourhood areas also incorporate
specifically designed ‘courtyards’ which have
been included to encourage hard surface
play – a great way to get the kids off their
devices and out into the fresh air!
• The local commercial hub will provide plenty
of convenience and amenities – while you
sit back and relax, the kids can play in the
expansive parks and play areas
The entire subdivision is built on TC1 land,
ensuring a stable building platform. The sections
are fenced by the developer which is another
example of the value provided by Avanda.
With over 1,000 titles in the overall development,
choice is plentiful. Section sizes range from
400m2 to 1,000m2.
The developers are keen to reward early
buyers into Acland Park by offering sections
at significantly reduced introductory prices,
starting from just $155,000.

Antony Geddes – South Island Development Manager, Avanda Group
”
My extended family has enjoyed farming the Acland Park land for
generations. So, it is fantastic to know that many new and established
families will get to enjoy a similar opportunity for the future.
There are many amenity points about Acland Park, Rolleston; which
you won’t find in other subdivisions, all of which have been designed to
create a safe and relaxed environment with a strong sense of community.
We have developed a series of new streetscapes which provide a
pedestrian environment, with the inclusion of courtyards to encourage
hard surface play, signaling a return of the good old days when kids
were safe and free to go and play in the street – and their parents
were happy to let them!
With a centrally located Commercial Centre planning an offering of
hospitality, retail, medical centre, and an Early Learning Centre the
Acland Park community will have the best facilities in the region.
We’re now rewarding early buyers by offering fenced sections
at significantly lower prices for a limited time – so don’t miss your
opportunity to live better for less – enquire now!

Our People
Alistair Morris
Providing a way for boys to have fun
Lincoln ICONZ is
celebrating its 10th
birthday. Anan Zaki talks
to Alistair Morris, the
co-ordinator and founder
of the boys’ programme,
about its impact on
young people
What is Lincoln ICONZ?
It’s essentially a newer version
of the Boys’ Brigade which has
been going since 1883. It started
in Scotland by Sir William Smith.
Boys’ Brigade came to New
Zealand in 1886 and 15 years ago
ICONZ was invented as a new
programme to modernise the
Boys’ Brigade.
Why did it need to
modernise?
Essentially, Boys’ Brigade hadn’t
changed for a 100-odd years and
was slowly losing numbers –
especially in New Zealand. And
they decided to come up with a
new programme. Boys’ Brigade
was based on the army. Boys’
Brigade had a rank system such
as Corporal, Lance Corporal
and Sergeant. It wasn’t popular
anymore and I think it went away
from our core values a little bit,
like being part of a church. So
ICONZ brought in, it’s not an
acronym or anything. It’s a newer,
modern way of doing it.
What do boys do in the
programme?
We have awards based on
spiritual, physical, adventure,
community and interested.
They are awarded throughout
the year in three or four-week
programmes for each award. And
we just work our way through the
programme, we start at six-yearolds
and go right through to 18.
We do a tycoons award where
we come up with a concept that
we want to make. For example
we made planter boxes last year
and the boys had to come up
with how to make it, the cost of
materials, how much they think
they can sell them for at a profit
because that’s what a tycoon
is and the boys would choose
which charity would receive the
money. They’re doing a patriot’s
award at the moment, so we’ve

been down to the Selwyn River
and done a river run. Went out to
Lake Ellesmere and played in the
mud out there. We’re doing a bit
of marching, which is all part of
the patriot’s award leading into
Anzac Day. We do tramps, we
do camps, swimming, cycling.
There’s a spiritual award as
well because we are a Christian
organisation so everything has a
spiritual aspect to it.
Do you find that spirituality is
still there amongst children?
We think it’s important and
since 1883 it’s been that way
and that’s one thing that we will
not change. But my opinion is,
young Christian men can still
get out and have fun. They can
be perceived to be: ‘Oh, you’re
Christian, you’re boring, you’re
not having any fun.’ Well we go
tramping, we go hunting. We
don’t try and be PC [politically
correct] about things. We go
out there and have fun. We do
risks. As long as the boys think
it’s risky and we’ve taken the
appropriate safety precautions,
then that’s what they want.
What sort of impact does it
have on the boys?
We’re trying to grow good
Christian men. We’re trying to
grow them into good members
of the community and helpful
and be community spirited
with good morals. Schools don’t
always cater for boys very well,
we feel. For example, we play bull
rush every week, and the boys
love it. But they can’t do that
at school. We also do cooking
awards, health awards about what
food you should eat. The boys
enjoy getting into the kitchen at
the church and making pizzas –
as long as they get to eat the
food.

Our People
‘You just have to get on and get it done’
•From page 15
Do you think there should be
more female influence?
At Lincoln ICONZ we haven’t
got any female leaders but other
brigades do. We don’t have girls
at that age group. I think that
boys learn better with boys.
How long have you been
involved in this?
I went through Boys’ Brigade
in Southland. I started when I
was 12 [now 52]. And I got my
Queen’s Award, which is the
highest award you can get in
Boys’ Brigade and then when I
moved to Canterbury in 1987
I joined the Boys’ Brigade
company up here and became a
leader.
Why did you decide to open
up an ICONZ in Lincoln?
We moved [as a family] to
Springston 10 years ago, and
my oldest boy came at the right
age to join [ICONZ]. But there
was nothing out here in Selwyn.
So I approached the Lincoln
Baptist Church elders and about
nine months after we started it
up.
It’s now 10 years in the
running in Lincoln, did you
ever think it could reach this
stage?
I was hoping it would but no.
You don’t sort of think about
that when you start it up. You
Retail
ADVENTURE: Boys from Lincoln ICONZ often spend their times outdoors tramping.
just get through the first year I
think. Some units don’t last this
long. But if you don’t have a Boys’
Brigade background, it helps
because you know the history.
And some of the Boys’ Brigade/
ICONZ chapters in Christchurch
are in their fourth and fifth
generations. That’s the testimony
of that organisation.
You’ve done this for 10 years,
what are some of the differences
you see from boys from when
Retail Investment
they start off to when they
finish?
Oh it would be their
confidence. Their confidence and
their maturity. It comes with age
naturally anyway but we do hope
that we’re instilling confidence
in the boys. A good example is
two years ago we went on a two
day expedition to the Bindsler
and Casey Saddle [at Arthur’s
Pass National Park]. That was
a 12-hour walk one day and a
10-hour walk the next. These are
seven and eight-year-olds doing
it carrying packs. And they made
it.
There were a lot of complaints,
a lot of moaning and: ‘Oh I don’t
want to carry ons’, sore feet and
tired muscles, but we all got
through it and we all survived.
Hopefully that instilled that life is
tough, you just have to get on and
get it done and you can come out
the other side.
It sounds like the outdoors
is quite important in what you
teach, why is that?
That’s where you have all fun.
That’s where you can get all
muddy and dirty. And you just
make the most of what God has
created. You can’t do that sitting
in a classroom. Terms two and
three, yes we are inside most of
the time but terms one and four
we try and get out into the district
and go camping and tramping.
Who funds the programme?
We are self-funding. We charge
fees, it goes to the awards, which
the kids don’t have to pay [extra]
for. We’re all volunteers here. The
church also funds it a bit, it’s one
of the arms of the Lincoln Baptist
Church.
You’ve come this far in 10
years, what do you hope for the
future?
I would hope that the next
generation of the top-end boys
will Rolleston
carry on as leaders and their
children will carry on and keep
the same thing going.
You’ve got a celebration
coming up?
We’ve got a church service
at Lincoln Baptist on April 28.
We’re just going to have service,
nothing special but we’d like
to invite any ex Boys’ Brigade
members and Lincoln ICONZ
members.

BOOST getting its skates
on for new year
Weedons Community
Centre opening
About 60 people attended the official opening of the Weedons
Community Centre on Friday 5 April. Mayor Sam Broughton and
Selwyn MP Hon Amy Adams joined councillors, members of the
Weedons Reserve Committee and the community at the event.
Students from Weedons School also gave a speech, before the
building was declared open.
The project has been in the pipeline since 2011 when the first
plans were drawn up, says Weedons Reserve Committee
Chairman Peter Holmes.
“It’s great to see the building finally completed,” Mr Holmes says.
“This is a community centre which will be used by the cricket and
tennis clubs, but also by the wider community.”
Council Major Projects Property Manager John Reid says the
Community Centre will provide a modern facility for the community
and sports groups. The centre has a multi-purpose room, kitchen,
storeroom, 24-hour accessible toilet and two changing rooms.
BOOST is back with a brand new set of events for the year, starting with an epic skate day
in Rolleston.
BOOST Skate, for people of all ages on all kinds of wheels, will be held at Rolleston Skatepark on
Friday 26 April, 11.30am–2pm.
The day will feature a skate competition run by Cheapskates and bike maker Pedalmania will be
there with a huge collection of bizarre and cool recycled bikes. Giant games and other fun will also
be run by the council events team and there will be spot prizes on the day.
It is the first of several BOOST events for the year, which will be run by the Selwyn Youth Council
each school holidays, Katelyn Twiss, Chair of the Selwyn Youth Council says. “Instead of holding
BOOST in one two-week holiday, this year we are trying to spread a range of activities out
over the year. By doing that, we hope there will be more interaction with the youth and more
opportunities to get different youth from all over the district involved, enjoying themselves and
having fun.”
A sausage sizzle, fundraising for the victims of the terror attack in Christchurch, will be run by
Selwyn Youth Council and there will also be a food truck and coffee available.
“As a youth council, we really wanted an opportunity for the people of Selwyn to be able to
contribute and give support to the families of the victims and those affected by the tragedy, even
if that contribution is small, and show that the people of Selwyn support love in the face of hate,”
Katelyn says.
BOOST Skate follows on from the eight popular Summer Skate/Scooter Jam events the Council
ran as part of Summer in Selwyn. About 530 people of all ages turned out to enjoy the events at
skate parks and schools across the region.
Summer Skate/Scooter Jam organiser Connie Dick said they were excited to see BOOST Skate
continuing the fun.
“It was great to see so many young people taking their first ride over the summer and improving
their skills, and we’re excited to see another opportunity for young people and families to come
back and keep enjoying the parks and staying active.”
School holiday packed with fun
If you’re looking for ways to entertain the kids these school holidays Selwyn libraries and Selwyn
Aquatic Centre have got you covered.
From making your own movie to giant inflatable toys there’s plenty for children and even the
young at heart.
Along with being open any time for a swim, the Selwyn Aquatic Centre will have extra holiday activities
from 2–4pm week days with inflatable toys and paddleboats out on different days.
The libraries will also be hosting a range of craft and creative activities plus an Easter Storytimes. These
early evening Storytimes (6–7pm) are aimed at children aged two to seven. Come in your cosiest PJs,
and enjoy some fabulous interactive stories, a treasure hunt and a craft activity.
There’s even a chance to make your own movie with Lincoln Library hosting two one-day Stop Motion
Animation workshops on Monday 15 April and Tuesday 16 April. Suitable for children ages nine and
above, the workshops will take children through the process of making a stop motion movie, from
concept to final film. The workshop costs $15 and bookings are essential.

Unveiling of new mural
On Friday 29th March, West Melton School unveiled their new school mural.
The mural planning process began at the
beginning of 2018! Their cultural committee met
several times to discuss the vision for the mural
which they wanted to convey the ‘essence’ of West
Melton School and they wanted to imbed the schools
cultural narrative through the art.
Te Kura o Papatahora (West Melton School) is in
an area that is looked after by the people of Taumutu
Marae- Ngāiti Ruahikihiki (a sub-tribe of Ngāi
Tahu). Ngāi Tahu are kaitiaki (guardians) for the
land. The mountains and rivers of Te Wai Pounamu
are very sacred to Ngāi Tahu. Te Tiritiri-o-Te-mana
(the Southern Alps) can be seen from the school.
The Waimakariri River is one of the largest rivers in
Canterbury. Ka-Pākihi Whakatekateka o Waitaha
(The Canterbury Plains) were covered with a mixture
of tussocks and grasses, kōwhai trees, forest patches
as well as snow, rivers, waterways and wetlands.
Plants found in the area were Tī kouka, Mānuka,
Kōwhai and Tōtara. These are referenced in the
mural.
The mural was student led, designed and painted
by students for the school and community.
All West Melton School students learnt about
murals and had the opportunity to submit a design.
The cultural committee received many submissions
and four with special merit were selected for the
presentation to the Board of Trustees. Daisy F’aavae,
Nash Allin, Jasmine Rowland and Josh Winfield
shared their ideas with the Board and a collaborative
piece was created which included Josh’ logo, Daisy’s
Pacifika weavings, Nash’ landscape and Jasmine’s
striking circular artwork.
Initially, the mural was going to incorporate a
Pātiki (flounder) kowhaiwhai pattern, but after
consultation with local iwi, it was decided that an
original adaptation of the Koru would be more
appropriate.
All learners who submitted designs were treated
to an afternoon at The Christchurch Art Gallery
to participate in their ‘Wall to Wall’ exhibition in
August. During this trip, they saw a lot of public art
and they came back inspired!
Many students throughout the school contributed
to the mural. Not only did students paint the mural,
but also many staff and some of the community
painted the two colourful weavings which combine
the colours of their whanau’s -Hill, Trickett, Ross,
Langdale, Selwyn and Newton.
It was a mammoth undertaking but it certainly
makes a vibrant statement of who they are as a
school and community.

Perfect floral arrangements
for every occasion
Whatever the occasion flowers will
almost always play an important role,
so whether it’s a birthday, anniversary,
wedding or funeral in your family, Miss
Lily Flowers of West Melton can provide
the perfect floral arrangement.
Business owner Sandy Sharp says
“business is blooming” as more people
discover her creativity, style and
magnificent selection of high-quality
flowers catering for all tastes, occasions
and budgets.
“I’ve become the go-to florist’ in the
local area, plus I provide daily delivery
across Christchurch and the surrounding
areas.”
Weddings are a key focus for Miss
Lily Flowers, and now that the summer
wedding season is over, Sandy suggests
prospective brides and grooms consider a
winter wedding.
“The venues and vendors are not so
heavily booked during winter, and it’s
also an opportunity for people to have
something different, with winter flowers
and foliage in their floral decorations and
bouquets.”
Sandy has recently introduced a new
service at Miss Lily Flowers – a flower
subscription, with a weekly, fortnightly
or monthly delivery. Subscibers can order
a selection of loose seasonal flowers and
foliage to arrange themselves, or a Miss
Lily arrangement ready to enjoy. There is
no contract or minimum period and total
payment can be made in advance, or prior
to each delivery.
“The subscription can be for yourself or
someone else who would love to receive
fresh flowers, and with Mother’s Day
coming up, this could be an ideal gift – and
one that keeps on giving – for your Mum.”
As well as working from her home
studio, Sandy takes her flowers to various
locations in her mobile flower trailer,
Connie. She can be found at Market@254,
West Melton every Saturday, as well as
in Cashmere Road, at the bottom of
Hackthorne Rd, and Cathedral Square on
various days.
To place an order, call 021 342924,

Waihora eye top of pool rugby clash
• By Jacob Page
AN EARLY season top of pool
A clash between defending
champions Waihora and
Southern will be the highlight
of round three of the combined
country rugby competition on
Saturday.
Both teams maintained their
unbeaten starts to the season
over the weekend, with Waihora
outlasting Kaiapoi away from
home 21-8, thanks to two tries to
Will Hurst, while Southern ran
rampant in a 64-7 victory over
Ashley at Ashley Lower Grounds.
Springston retained top spot
in pool B with a comfortable
32-16 win against Southbridge at
Springston Domain.
The hosts had the services
of Crusaders loosie Mitchell
Dunshea for the first 40min but
had to fight back to claim the win
after trailing early in the second
half. Springston have had two
bonus point wins to start the
season and share the lead in pool
B with Glenmark-Cheviot, which
made it two from two, easily
accounting for Methven 45-0 at
Cheviot.
Springston will host third place
Rakaia on Saturday in the pick of
the pool B clashes.
Two Ellesmere teams share
the lead in pool C, with Lincoln
and Prebbleton each on 10 points
after contrasting wins. Lincoln
held off Oxford 29-26 for a bonus
point win at Oxford Oval, while
Prebbleton comfortably downed
Saracens at home 36-18, thanks
to 13 points from George Wigley
BATTLE: Southbridge’s Daryl Lamborn attempts to break the

and two tries each from Cam
Hay and Richard Ferguson.
Darfield remain unbeaten in
Pool A after a dominant second
half display to beat Hornby 62-14
at Darfield Domain.
Hornby took it to them in the
first half and only trailed by a
point at halftime before Darfield
piled on 47 unanswered points in
the final 40min.
Burnham Dunsandel Irwell got
their first win in the same pool
after a 30-10 win over Hampstead
at Dunsandel Domain, thanks
in part to three yellow cards for
Hampstead and a dominant BDI
scrum.
Rolleston are still looking for
their first competition points
after being beaten by Rakaia
24-14 in their pool B encounter
at Rakaia Domain, in spite of two
tries from Max Sheck.
West Melton got their pool
C campaign on track after
winning a tight encounter with
Hurunui 26-24 at West Melton
Domain. The home team were
held scoreless in the first half and
trailed 24-0 at halftime before
four second half tries saw them
snatch an unlikely victory. The
result means Hurunui is the only
team without a win in pool C
after two weeks.
Southbridge will host
Prebbleton in the crossover game
this weekend.

Lincoln Uni’s second half comeback produces ‘thrilling’ win
Jim Doyle reports on how
Lincoln University went at
the weekend
•Lincoln University 34 v Old
Boys 29, Bob Deans
What a game. Two sets of
abrasive young men went at
each other like wildcats. Out of
the spillage came some thrilling
rugby, with nine tries.
Lincoln trailed 7-15 at the
break, and without six players
who were on New Zealand
Universities duty, looked likely
to struggle further.
The Rams struck soon after
half-time through Dom Devine,
who had come on as substitute
hooker. When Sam Gilbert
crossed a few minutes later, the
Rams had the lead.
But they couldn’t keep Old
Boys out of it. Impressive
second-five Lupeti Fihaki
dashed through to score after
65min before reserve hooker
Shilo Klein broke down the left
touch to give Old Boys a bonus
point almost at the death.
Gilbert’s two tries were the
game-breakers. Cullen Grace
created the first, holding the
ball at the back of a steadily
advancing scrum. Twenty
metres out, he broke brilliantly
then fired a long pass to Gilbert
ranging on the left.
In a superb counter-attack,
the ball went from Gilbert to
Fletcher Morgan to substitute
John Borland and back to
Gilbert for the touchdown.
Lincoln University’s Ish
Perkins scored the first try of the
match.
Josh Bokser had a big game
for the Rams, this time at lock.
Ngane Punivai was tightly
marked and he did very well
under pressure to make sure the
Rams were on the front foot.
Lincoln University went down
19-40 to Old Boys in the premier
reserve curtainraiser but earned
kudos for never saying die as the
second half unfolded.
Lincoln University 34 (Sam
Gilbert 2, Ish Perkins, Dom
Devine, James Coull tries;
Gilbert 2 conv, pen; Fletcher
Morgan, conv) beat Old Boys 29
(Jaron Chamberlain, Connor
Collins, Lupeti Fihaki, Shilo
Klein tries; Alex Harford 3 conv,
pen). HT: 7-15. Sin-bin: Gilbert.

Kirkwood Intermediate
School of Choice
Celebrating Kirkwood House
Captains for 2019
Year 7 Camp
Our Year 7 pupils have recently
attended a camp at Purau Bay.
This is a great way for the children
to get to know each other.
Canadian canoeing was my favourite part of camp, it
was really fun racing each other. We enjoyed playing
football, the game predator and kick the can. It was
a great way to get to know each other and I hope this
camp continues for years to come. We had the most
amazing parent helpers which we really enjoyed. We
also learnt to cooperate with each other and it gave us
an opportunity to get to know our class mates better.
From the left: Jakub I, Sofia M, Ariel S, Elham N, Callum S, Emanuela M,
Carsyn W, Sophie M
House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary
Callum - Ex Prebbleton School I love Kirkwood Intermediate because
there are a lot of opportunities for sport and leadership. I would like to
make the Basket A Team and look forward to experiencing the Chinese
culture when I travel to China on the school trip. I wanted to be House
Captain to improve my leadership skills and so I can be a good role model
for the school.
Emanuela - Ex Clearview Primary Kirkwood provides many different
opportunities for us to experience. I will like to work on achieving an allround
elite Blue which is part of our Kirkwood Blues Awards. My goal in
Year 7 was to show my leadership skills in Year 8.
House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg
Carsyn - Ex West Spreydon I enjoy Kirkwood because it has so many
opportunities. This year, I would like to earn another Blues Award as well
as learn as much as I can. This year I want to help others and ensure
everyone is happy.
Sophie M - Ex Halswell Primary School I love the many opportunities
available at Kirkwood and I would like to be involved as much as possible
while being a good role model. I will enjoy being a great leader and making
Sheppard/Freyberg the best house.
House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa
Jakub - Ex Rolleston School Kirkwood Intermediate School has a great
atmosphere, with amazing pupils and staff. There are so many opportunities
you can do and no one judges you. This year I would love to get an allround
elite from the Blues Awards system. I am also looking forward to
the trip to China and learning about their culture. I would like to be a good
role model for everyone and gain more skills in leadership. I look forward to
helping others.
Sofia M - Ex Oaklands School I love Kirkwood as there are a lot of great
opportunities. The teachers are awesome and you get to try new things to
challenge yourself. This year I would like to achieve good grades, learn a lot
and will look forward to a brilliant final year. I was inspired by our last year’s
House Captains and I would like to inspire the Year 7 pupils.
House Captains for Rutherford/Batten
Ariel - Ex Edmonton Primary (Auckland) I Love the opportunities made
available at Kirkwood Intermediate School. I would like to be involved in
basketball and I will look forward to learning all about China when I visit later
on in the year.
Elham - Ex Gilberthorpe School I love everything about Kirkwood
Intermediate School, especially Technology and winter sport. However, my
favourite part is the Library and school hall. My goal this year is to improve
in reading and writing, playing as many different sports as possible and to
have fun during my time at Kirkwood. I will enjoy this leadership role as I am
a confident speaker, I can be a good role model and I am a good adviser.
Abseiling was my
favourite part of camp
because it was fun, challenging
and a new experience. I thought
that I wouldn’t go the whole way down
but I did! It was my goat at camp. A
lot of friends in my class cheered for
me which was great support. Some of
the activities which I enjoyed were
abseiling, Canadian canoeing,
crab hunting and feeding
the chicks.
My favourite part of
camp was the Canadian
canoeing, although feeding the
eels was a lot of fun too. Other
camp activities were: abseiling;
pitching tents; playing sports; bush
walking; periwinkle hunting and
beach time. I have to say I prefer
camping rather than playing
on electronics all day.
I enjoy outdoor
activities and
adventures. I also really
liked the food and awesome
activities which I was able to
do. The Canadian canoeing
was my favourite. I also
enjoyed the games we
played.

Young golfer making her mark
• By Jacob Page
WEEDONS GOLFER Deanna
Matthews is winning open
tournaments at the age of 12.
Deanna won the Weedons
senior ladies championships,
shooting a two round score of 151
(75, 76) and winning the 36-hole
match-play final against Sarah
Lurajud 7 and 5 in the process.
“My putting went really well,
which was good because I’d been
doing a lot of practice during the
week and the greens were the
perfect speed for me,” she said.
She also won the 100th edition
of the Avondale Ladies Open last
month after shooting 81.
Deanna was thrilled to win on
her home course. “To score what
I did and to putt so well made me
really happy.”
Deanna, who attends Christchurch
South Intermediate, has
already represented Canterbury
at under-19 level.
She trains with coach Wayne
Davies at the Riccarton Park Golf
Complex.
Deanna said she has played
golf since she first picked up a
children’s modified driver four
years ago.
“I just picked up a golf club and
started hitting golf balls and I
noticed I didn’t miss one.”
She now has a 4.3 handicap.
She said her fellow Weedons club
members always make her feel
welcome.
She hopes to one day play
professionally. “For now, I want
to improve my chipping.”

ELLESMERE College deputy
head student leader Sarah
McClure (left) finished her
secondary school triathlon career
the way she wanted.
She was third in the under-19
class at the national triathlon
championships in New
Plymouth.
She finished in a time of 56min
41sec – just 4sec off the silver
medal and more than 1.5min
behind overall winner Olivia
Cummings.
“I was really happy with how
my race went and I was hoping
to podium but I wasn’t expecting
it,” she said.
“It was my last year at school
nationals so I wanted to end it
like this.”
She often thinks about her
achievements so far. “It makes me
feel really proud of myself,” she
said.
Deanna will represent Canterbury
at the three-day under-19
The 17-year-old finished
seventh in the same event last
year.
Sarah was able to make the
most of a strong 600m ocean
swim in which she came out of
the water first.
She dropped back to second
during the 15km cycle leg but was
able to maintain her momentum
in the 4km run.
She said swimming is her
strength. She has represented
Canterbury in the pool at South
Island level as a long distance
freestyle swimmer.
“I always enjoyed swimming
and running, which started at
primary school,” she said. “The
more I did it, the more I liked it.”
She has competed in triathlons
since her first Weet-Bix triathlon
at age seven. She said she would

“I’d like to win the under-13
gross and then whatever happens
after that would be a bonus.”
Podium send off for Ellesmere College triathlete
like to continue her training
when she attends Otago
University next year. “I don’t
have set goals but I want to do my
best while I continue to enjoy it
because that’s important to me.”
She currently swims, cycles and
runs four times each a week and
is a member of the Canterbury
Triathlon Academy.
“It’s important to balance
everything as best you can
because a race may come down
to a sprint to the finish line,” she
said.
Sarah said she tries to
overcome her physical pain
during races with mental
toughness.
“When I get really sore. I
try to keep pushing through it
because I know that’s when I’m
improving,” she said.

Selwyn United
need to lift
form on the
football pitch
• By Jacob Page
SELWYN UNITED will look
to get their Mainland Premier
League football campaign back
on track against Western at
Foster Park on Saturday.
A win will be vital to their
confidence after they were
beaten 4-1 by Nelson Suburbs in
Nelson over the weekend.
Coach Chris Brown said
his team created plenty of
opportunities but did not
capitalise on
them. “It was a
disappointing
result,” he said.
“We matched
them for long
periods of the
game, but when
we gave them
opportunities,
they were able
Chris Brown
to make the most of them. They
scored two nice goals and we
gave them two.”
Brown said the scoreline
suggested it was a one-sided
game, but he felt they pressed up
the field as well as they could.
However, their defensive frailties
let them down, he said.
“It was individual errors once
again, and not from the same
people.”
“We’re on a rotation at the
moment it would seem and it’s at
key moments of the game.”
Captain Dan Ede was able to
pull a goal back late in the game.
Brown said Nic Kittelty
impressed defensively, while
Caleb Emmens continued his
strong form in the midfield.
Brown admits his team will
need to produce a complete
90min performance to defeat
Western on Saturday.
“We need to lift our
concentration levels at certain
times, and if we do that, then
we can certainly get a result,” he
said.

IF YOU’VE hankered after
an Audi Q7 sport utility
vehicle but thought that it
didn’t have that X-factor in
terms of style, Audi have
another offering for you –
the Q8.
The Q8 represents
everything you’ll find in
the Q7, yet it is packaged
in a coupe-type design just
distancing itself from the
traditional SUV market.
Landing at $149,900 in
base model form, the Q8
also competes roughly on
price, the Q7 lists from
$133,400. However, the
evaluation car was carrying
quite a bit of extra kit in the
form of an S-Line package,
it would sell for around
$160,000.
That aside, the Q8 stands
out for its style and that
presence doesn‘t end with
its looks from the exterior,
the interior is gorgeous,
nothing has been left to
chance and it features the
latest in technological
gadgetry.
I particularly like the
haptic touch screens, they
simply respond to the
fingertip with a gentle jolt
as they activate, offering
the user the reassurance
something physical has
taken place. The screens are
also big with large display
graphics, just the ticket for
those whose eyes demand
clarity.
Column space doesn’t
allow for a full description
of what the Q8 offers, but
to say it leaves nothing
to chance; comfort and
convenience features
are in abundance and it
incorporates a significant
array of safety features –
passive and reactive, and
if you add in the Quattro
four-wheel-drive system
that could also been seen a
major safety initiative.
Powering the Q8 is a V6,
turbocharged diesel engine.
It displaces 2967cc and is
rated by Audi at 210kW
with an amazing 600Nm of
torque, the latter developed
strongly between 2250rpm
and 3250rpm.
While these figures
are quite impressive in
themselves, what stands
out most for me is the
performance gleaned from
a vehicle that weighs in
quite tubby at just over
two-tonne.
Audi claim a 6.3sec
burst to 100km/h from a
standstill, while it simply
launches through a

manufacturing process.
highway overtake with a
mid-range urgency that is
absolutely delightful, an 80-
120km/h time of 4.4sec can
be expected.
Audi also claim a 6.3-litre
per 100km (45mpg)
combined cycle fuel usage
figure. During my time
in the evaluation car the
display graphics were
constantly reading around
7.2l/100km (39mpg),
with a 5l/100km (56mpg)
instantaneous figure sitting
at a steady 100km/h, the
engine working over quite
relaxed at just 1250rpm.
• Price –Audi Q8,
$157,890
• Dimensions –

• Performance –

• Fuel usage –

These are all outstanding
results, and ones which
will satisfy all buyers, the
Q8 is quick but it is also
economical.
Much like the many
German cars which are
arriving here these days,
Audi have incorporated the
mild hybrid 48v electrical
system into the Q8. It’s
not a hybrid as you would
relate to in, say, Toyota’s
Prius, but it is there to
garner, store and distribute
electrical energy, thereby
alleviating some load from
the engine.
I’ve never driven an Audi
with the Quattro system
that I haven’t enjoyed,
there’s just something
about the technology
which makes it one of

the standout four-wheeldrive
systems. There is feel
and feedback within the
steering that is constantly
involving, and taking into
account that at almost 5m
there’s a lot of vehicle to get
through a corner, the Q8
handles with dignity.
A lot of that is down
to the air suspension
set-up which delivers
a perfect ride and
uncompromised handling
qualities.
I took the test car west
to the Malvern Hills and
enjoyed the way you can
push into a corner and
yet still feel composed.
Quality Continental sport
specification tyres help, at
285/40 x 22in there’s more
rubber on the road than
there is on the racetrack
at Bathurst. The Q8 sticks
solidly on the road surface,
the handling belies its
bulk.
Even with all of these
sporty qualities, it must
also be remembered the Q8
is still the practical family
wagon. Sure, it’s only a fiveseater,
but those who are
privileged to ride in the Q8
will be treated to a full dose
of luxury. The cargo area
is cavernous and on board
comfort isn’t jeopardised
thanks to its generous
proportions.
The Q8 doesn’t come at
a budget price, and it is a
big outlay, but bear in
mind that it sits on much
the same platform and
shares much the same
driveline that makes the
Volkswagen Touareg so
tempting.
The Q8, Q7, Tourareg
and Porsche Cayenne
are all based on similar
mechanicals.
That being the case, the
choice is overwhelming,
but if you are buying on
style and design only, the
Q8 is the clear winner.
A burst of colour for winter
• By Henri Ham
NEXT WEEK Easter
is here, and this year it
also marks the middle of
autumn.
Although I still feel like
I’m only just farewelling
summer, it’s nice to be
able to slacken off from
my watering programme
and think about my winter
garden.
Luckily the end of
warmer weather doesn’t
also mean the end of bright
colourful flowers in the
garden. Now’s the perfect
time to inject new bursts of
colour – and the easiest way
is to plant some pansies.
The brightly coloured
overlapping petals of the
pansy cheer up any garden
spot. They’re cute, yet
bold, come in a rainbow of
colours and, best of all, are
one of the easiest flowers to
grow.
Pansies flower right from
autumn through spring, often
when it feels like there’s
not much colour happening
in your garden. They’re
extremely hardy – surviving
frosts, wind and rain. Just
make sure you get them in
before it gets too cold, and
you’ll see that they are truly

a plant-and-forget flower.
They make great garden
beds, borders, and are perfect
for pots. Pansies also
look really attractive when
planted in between larger
plants.
Giant pansies span up
to 10cm across and grow
slightly higher than your
average pansies too – up to
20cm high. Mixed varieties
are perfect for an array
of pots, hanging baskets or
as a multi-coloured garden
border.
When you’ve got your
seedlings, look for a spot in
your garden that receives
morning (or all day) sun,
with good drainage. After
our hot summer, dig in
some compost and fertiliser
to enrich the soil.
To plant your seedlings,
dig little holes, 3cm deep

and around 15cm apart.
Give a good initial watering,
and then water every
few days while they get
established. In one to two
months you’ll start to see
some burst of colour coming
through.
Once they’re flowering,
pick them to encourage
more blooms.
The more you pick, the
more will grow. Arrange
your pansies in a vase with
some interesting foliage, to
bring bursts of colour into
your house this winter.
And for the chefs out
there – pansies are also
edible, having a sweet
grassy flavour. Use them
to bring colour to winter
salads, or to garnish a cake.
You can even freeze them
in ice cubes and add to your
drinks.

Take the time to repair your lawn
Fire rages, homes at risk
THE HOT summer months can
take its toll on your lawn, leaving
it a little ravaged and in desperate
need of care.
Autumn or spring are typically
the best times to tackle any lawn
problems and give it a little TLC
to bring it back to life. This is
because the soil is warm and there
is adequate rainfall to aid even
germination of the grass seed.
A uniform green healthy lawn
is something many people strive
for and the secret comes down to
fertilising regularly and adequately
with lawn fertiliser, in conjunction
with regular watering.
Established lawns should be
fertilised with good quality lawn
fertiliser at three to four-weekly
intervals, typically from March
until the end of April.
Fertiliser lowers the PH of the
soil which simply means the grass
grows better than the weeds! It is
absolutely critical that the lawn is
well watered after each application.
In spring, you can begin
fertilising again from October
until Christmas (avoiding the hot
summer months when lawns are
stressed due to the heat). If you
have moss in your lawn after winter,
try spreading iron sulphate on
to the area and watering it in. This
is quite a common practice to
treat moss, and it will also darken
the colour of your lawn.
GROWTH: Mix grass seeds to cope with summer and winter conditions, seed should germinate in seven to 10 days.
If you are considering laying a
new lawn, it’s important to choose
the right grass that will suit your
lawns function and soil type. In
terms of function, consider; any
pets, will children play on it, will
it be used as a thoroughfare or
just admired?
Your soil type also plays a major
part; is it free draining or waterlogged?
You may need to improve
the drainage first. You may also
need to add in some gypsum
to help improve this, and when
mowing your lawn, it’s best to
catch your clippings and remove
them.
To create an attractive durable
lawn all year round it’s a good
idea to mix grass seeds, as some
do well in summer and others do
well in winter. Your local garden
centre can give some advice on
the type of grass that suits your
needs, soil and climate.
In large areas where grass is either
non-existent or poor quality;
top soil should be spread and new
lawn seed sown.
Sprinkle the seed in an even
pattern walking away from the
starting point so you are not
standing on the seed. Apply grass
seed to the surface of the soil, do
not cover with top soil as the seed
is very fine and will not germinate
well if covered.
Grass seed should germinate
(depending on soil temperatures
and moisture) seven to 10 days
after sowing. When the newly
emerged grass has reached 80mm
high, the first cut can be made.
With successive cuts, you can
lower the mowers setting to
eventually reach the grass height
you desire.
If your lawn has smaller brown
spots or is a bit patchy, repair the
infected areas by removing grass
and soil around the infected area
(at least 15cm beyond it). Add
lawn patching to the area and
lightly water.
Regardless of which task
you embark on, it’s essential to
maintain constant soil moisture
so the new seeds germinate and
the lawn in general greens up and
becomes healthier overall.

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

Easily-managed quality landholding
Fully irrigated by pivot and sprinklers, this 62.1649ha property has quality infrastructure and favourable soils and
would be the perfect first farm. It is well-set-up with a central lane and a substantial amount of new fencing, which
enables the current owner to work off-farm. A mixture of quality Lismore and Templeton soils allows both high
stock growth-rates and impressive crop yields. This productive property has been producing potatoes, peas and
barley, grazing dairy heifers and producing supplements. Infrastructure includes hay and implement sheds, an older
wool shed, cattle yards and a tidy, two-bedroom home in an established garden. Handy to Darfield and an easy
commute to Christchurch, inspection is a must.

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.
Kitchens form the heart of

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Showhome a trendsetter
A must see and sure to inspire is
Generation Homes’ Branthwaite
showhome where attention to detail from
the home’s interior décor to its exterior
presentation, gives it the wow factor.
Clad with large masonry block in a
stack bond pattern and complemented
with cedar, this home illustrates how a
corner section can be maximised.
As one walks through the home, the
2.55 stud gives a spacious feel while the
three-bedroom, two living area home,
serves up lots of building ideas.
The living spaces have both practicality
and a luxurious feel. The formal lounge
has double cavity sliders seamlessly
tucking away for entertaining or when
wanting a larger area, while bifolds
open out to a sheltered yet sunny deck
allowing the outdoors into the home on
warm days. Positioning of the house has
also allowed for a stunning private yard.
The kitchen is impressive with its black
sink, combo oven/gas hob, smoked
mirror glass splashback, gloss laminate
bench tops with an acrylic edge which
gives a 3D effect and tower faucet. There
is also a walk-in pantry.
Black joinery and hardware is a feature
throughout the home, contrasted in the
main bathroom by a free standing white
bath.
“There’s been lots of interest in the
black and white colour scheme, as well
as features like the skylights which
bring extra light into the home,” says
Evan Beker, Joint Venture Partner of
Generation Homes Christchurch.
“People are looking to replicate these
ideas. They’ve seen black tap ware and
light switch plates in stores, however
seeing them fitted in a home is quite
inspirational.”
The master bedroom also stimulates
the imagination with additional
wardrobe storage for those with a
penchant for clothes. A feeling of
separation is gained with the ensuite
tucked behind the walk-in robe, and
slider accessing the deck and garden.
Within the rather spacious ensuite is a
large tiled shower with glass door, double
vanities and toilet.
The main toilet room has a small wash
basin while the laundry is tucked away in
the garage. The home also has a ducted
heating system.
Generation Homes’ Branthwaite
showhome demonstrates good
workmanship and clever design, showing
how a house under 200sqm can stand
out. At 193 square metres, this home is
ideal for a family, couple or someone
living alone. It is a delight to view with so
many innovative features deserves more
than just one visit.
