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

“It’s quite exciting because I<br />
think that a full-time position<br />
and being out there, you engage<br />
with the community more, you<br />
engage with the schools,” he<br />
said. •Turn to page 7<br />

commuter<br />
rail service<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
THE BRAKES have been put<br />
on Labour’s promise to bring<br />
commuter rail to Rolleston.<br />
Prior to the 2017 general<br />
election, the Labour Party stated<br />
that if elected, it would provide<br />
$<strong>10</strong>0 million for public transport<br />
in Canterbury – starting with a<br />
commuter rail service between<br />
Rolleston and the Christchurch<br />
CBD.<br />
However, Transport Minister<br />
Phil Twyford told <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
last week that Environment<br />
Canterbury must first propose<br />
a commuter rail service before<br />
money can be allocated.<br />
“ECan needs to have a rail<br />
service proposed in their regional<br />
land transport plan before it can<br />
be evaluated and considered for<br />
funding,” Mr Twyford said.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams called<br />
the statement a “cop-out” and said<br />
the pledge was a “poorly thoughtout<br />
election bribe.”<br />
“For the minister to now<br />
say it would be up to ECan to<br />
propose such a service before the<br />
Government would consider it, is<br />
a cop-out,” she said.<br />

POLICE CHIEFS have made the right<br />
move in appointing the district’s first youth<br />
aid officer.<br />
As <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population grows it brings<br />
with it all of the issues other major centres<br />
have.<br />
We pointed out last week, youth crime and disorder issues are<br />
starting to make their mark in Rolleston – graffiti is a sure sign<br />
of what lies ahead.<br />
As the Lesstons, Lincolns and other urban areas also grow in<br />
size, they too will start to have problems they have never really<br />
had.<br />
So appointing Bruce Ward, who I am reliably told is a great fit<br />
for the role, can only bring benefits.<br />

month appears to have paid dividends. See page 6.<br />

Tourism operators<br />
slam council for lack of support<br />
LINCOLN EVENT CENTRE<br />
liveinlincoln.nz<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
A HORORATA business leader<br />
has slammed the district council<br />
for not supporting the tourism<br />
industry.<br />
Ballooning Canterbury<br />
co-founder Michael Oakley<br />
said tourism<br />
operators have<br />
mainly had to<br />
self-promote<br />
the district as a<br />
holiday destination.<br />
“The support<br />
Michael Oakley<br />
we get from<br />
the council is<br />
pretty much<br />
zilch I feel, and I’m saying it<br />
because it ain’t happening,’’ Mr<br />
Oakley said.<br />
The district council brought<br />
tourism operators together last<br />
year and identified activities in<br />
the district to promote, he said.<br />
“We’ve got some world-class operators<br />
here and activities and a lot<br />
of people aren’t hearing about us.<br />
And the disappointing thing I get<br />
from a number of passengers is:<br />
‘We only came to <strong>Selwyn</strong> because<br />
we wanted to do the ballooning<br />
because there’s not much else to<br />
do’. And that’s real sad.”<br />
HON AMY ADAMS<br />
MP FOR SELWYN<br />
Working hard for our communities<br />
NO HELP: Alpine Jet Thrills co-founder Paul Vernel said tourism<br />
operators have to self-promote the district.<br />
District council community relations<br />
manager Denise Kidd said Paul Vernel agreed with Mr<br />
Alpine Jet Thrills co-founder<br />
the council is working to hard Oakley about current levels of<br />
to develop a “more strategic and support.<br />
impactful” tourism promotion. “I would say we’ve had more<br />
“In the past 12 months our support in the past. We don’t<br />
team has been working intentionally<br />
to broaden the range of District Council nowadays –<br />
hear a great deal from <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
relationships it has with tourism probably in the last year or so,”<br />
operators and businesses that Mr Vernel said.<br />
contribute to bringing visitors to But he said tourism promotion<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>,” she said.<br />
across the region has deteriorated.<br />
“This has included visiting “Are they any worse than any<br />
many businesses to talk with other? I would say no. I would<br />
them about what an appropriate say tourism promotion across<br />
role for council might be for the Christchurch and Canterbury<br />
visitor promotion sector going certainly lacks behind other<br />
forward.”<br />
regions.”<br />
IN ASSOCIATION WITH<br />
THE MEN’S ROOM<br />
Mr Oakley also criticised the<br />
district council’s Sensational<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Awards, where The Tea<br />
House in Lincoln took out the<br />
tourism award in 2016.<br />
“I think they [awards] are<br />
the biggest joke out. It was a<br />
joke when you get a restaurant<br />
getting the tourism award [in<br />
2016],” he said.<br />
“They closed six months after<br />
they won the award, and here<br />
we are, bringing in hundreds<br />
of people into <strong>Selwyn</strong>, putting<br />
people into accommodation.”<br />
Mr Oakley believed the district<br />
also missed an opportunity<br />
after the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
“Christchurch was closed<br />
and we had great activities out<br />
here in <strong>Selwyn</strong> but there was no<br />
real push to get people into the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> area to try our activities,”<br />
he said.<br />
Ms Kidd said the council is<br />
currently working on campaigns<br />
aligned with Tourism New Zealand<br />
and ChristchurchNZ.<br />
“We are continuing to develop<br />
the council’s Ski <strong>Selwyn</strong> Six<br />
website, promoting our fantastic<br />
ski fields, with five great club<br />
fields and one commercial field.”<br />

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

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

Ms Adams believes the<br />
Government has realised the<br />
project does not “stack up” –<br />
but she would not tell <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> why it did not.<br />
“At the time of<br />
the election, they<br />
[Labour] didn’t<br />
say it would be<br />
for ECan to assess<br />
this as a project<br />
and then apply for<br />
Phil Twyford<br />

Gibbon<br />
funding, which<br />
[Labour] would<br />
assess. They said<br />
they would fund<br />
it – no ifs or buts.<br />
It is yet another<br />
broken promise<br />
from Labour.”<br />
Mr Twyford<br />
said the design<br />
and timing<br />
of the project<br />
would be known<br />
once ECan has<br />
completed its<br />
business case<br />
process on<br />
the future of<br />
public transport<br />
in greater<br />
Christchurch.<br />
ECan public transport<br />
manager Stewart Gibbon said<br />
it submitted a business case late<br />
BROKEN PROMISE: <strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Amy Adams says the Labour<br />
Party’s pledge for commuter rail between the Rolleston<br />
station and the Christchurch CBD was an ill-thought out<br />
election bribe.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
last year for the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency to consider<br />
endorsing.<br />
“This business case identifies<br />
the need to complete a detailed<br />
investigation and analysis into<br />
the viability, location, timing and<br />
preferred mode for rapid transit<br />
to service and support greater<br />
Christchurch over the next 30<br />
years,” Mr Gibbon said.<br />
ECan confirmed it has not<br />
received the $<strong>10</strong>0 million for<br />
commuter rail which Labour<br />
pledged before the election.<br />
However, Mr Twyford said the<br />
Government is still committed<br />
to commuter rail.<br />
“Our Government is<br />
committed to developing<br />
transport options in our urban<br />
areas by investing nearly $4<br />
billion in public transport, rapid<br />
transit and metro rail over the<br />
next three years,” he said.<br />
Ms Adams said those<br />
comments fell short of what was<br />
promised to Rolleston.<br />
“The South Island keeps<br />
missing out in terms of transport<br />
spending as Labour focuses<br />
only on their pet projects in<br />
Auckland,” she said.<br />
Mr Twyford disagreed, saying<br />
Canterbury does get support.<br />
“It’s disappointing that<br />
Amy Adams doesn’t seem<br />
to remember how transport<br />
projects are funded,” he said.<br />
“Councils need to propose<br />
transport projects to be funded<br />
and our Government is investing<br />
$176 million in public transport<br />
in Canterbury in this three-year<br />
period, a 24 per cent increase<br />
compared to the previous<br />
Government,” he said.<br />
But Ms Adams said Mr<br />
Twyford is “hiding behind<br />
process.”<br />
“We are talking about a<br />
clear and unequivocal election<br />
promise that Labour made that<br />
they have not fulfilled. None<br />
of the spending the minister<br />
referred to is for a commuter rail<br />
service between Christchurch<br />
and Rolleston or indeed<br />
anywhere in Canterbury.”<br />

Public notified of quarry proposal<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
MORE THAN a year after plans<br />
were announced, Fulton Hogan’s<br />
quarry proposal near Weedons<br />
has finally been publicly notified.<br />
Its application for resource<br />
consents from both Environment<br />
Canterbury and the<br />
district council was notified on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Fulton<br />
Hogan applied<br />
for a land<br />
use consents<br />
from ECan<br />
to excavate<br />
material and<br />
Simon Moore<br />
Jolene Eagar<br />
deposit clean fill<br />
from its 170ha<br />
site bordered<br />
by Curraghs,<br />
Dawsons, Jones<br />
and Maddisons<br />
Rds.<br />
It applied for<br />
a discharge permit<br />
from ECan<br />
to discharge<br />
contaminants,<br />
stormwater and also applied for<br />
a water permit to use water for<br />
aggregate washing.<br />
Fulton Hogan also applied<br />
for consents from the district<br />
council for land use for gravel<br />
extraction and processing.<br />
Fulton Hogan is seeking an<br />
unlimited duration for all land<br />
use consents and 35 years for its<br />
discharge permits.<br />
The public notification<br />
comes about 18 months after<br />
Fulton Hogan first announced<br />
its intentions to quarry in the<br />
area.<br />
Weedons quarry opponent<br />
Simon Moore said it has been a<br />
long wait and the process had<br />
taken a toll on residents.<br />
“I know people that have taken<br />
time off work to prepare for this.<br />
And my god, you’ll see it comes<br />
out, but I’ve seen some already<br />
All new stock<br />
MUST GO<br />
– the work some people have<br />
put in is unbelievable, <strong>10</strong>0s of<br />
hours,” Mr Moore said.<br />
Templeton Residents’<br />
Association member Jolene<br />
Eagar agreed.<br />
She said the TRA surveyed<br />
120 households in Templeton<br />
and found 90 per cent said<br />
health and well-being was a<br />
major concern.<br />
“I can tell you just from the<br />
[quarry] sub-committee point of<br />
view, mentally and emotionally<br />
it has been really draining.”<br />
“People understand that effects<br />
will be more than minor when<br />
NOTIFIED:<br />
Opponents of the<br />
proposed Fulton<br />
Hogan quarry<br />
near Weedons<br />
and Templeton<br />
say the long<br />
process has<br />
taken a toll on<br />
residents. <br />
you consider the cumulative<br />
effect of dust, traffic, noise, water<br />
quality and quantity, effects on<br />
businesses and amenity,” Mrs<br />
Eagar said.<br />
Mr Moore said the effect on<br />
people is something few people<br />
see.<br />
“They hear about a quarry<br />
going in, they hear about a fight.<br />
But they don’t actually realise<br />
just how much time, effort and<br />
emotion goes into it.”<br />

Fulton Hogan quarry close on<br />

Five taken<br />
to hospital<br />
after crash<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
FIVE PEOPLE were hurt after a<br />
two-car crash near Ladbrooks on<br />
Friday.<br />
The crash, at the intersection of<br />
Ellesmere and Robinsons Rd, happened<br />
at about 2.20pm.<br />
Police said the crash wasn’t<br />
serious, and its serious crash<br />
unit would not investigate the<br />
incident.<br />
The cause of the crash is unclear<br />
and the intersection was closed<br />
for a period of time after the incident,<br />
a police spokeswoman said.<br />
A St John Ambulance spokesman<br />
said all five injured people<br />
were taken to Christchurch<br />
Hospital.<br />
Three patients had moderate<br />
injuries and the remaining two<br />
had minor injuries, the spokesman<br />
said.<br />
A business close to the crash<br />
said that it had not heard anything<br />
until after the crash had<br />
happened.<br />
According to the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency, the<br />
intersection has recorded two<br />
serious injury crashes and two<br />
minor and non-injury crashes<br />
since 2014.<br />

University back<br />
to pre-quake<br />
numbers<br />
THE EFFECTS of the<br />
Canterbury earthquakes on<br />
student numbers at Lincoln<br />
University may finally be over.<br />
The total number of equivalent<br />
full-time students enrolling for<br />
semester one this year is the<br />
highest since the province was<br />
hit by the series of quakes which<br />
began in September 20<strong>10</strong>.<br />
In 20<strong>10</strong>, semester one EFTS<br />
stood at <strong>10</strong>67 – in <strong>2019</strong> they are<br />
at <strong>10</strong>61.<br />
Lincoln University acting<br />
vice-chancellor Bruce McKenzie<br />
said the university had worked<br />
hard to regain the pre-quake<br />
numbers.<br />
Said Professor McKenzie:<br />
“I think the figures show that<br />
Lincoln University is seen as<br />
an institution which provides a<br />
world-class education, and the<br />
province provides opportunities<br />
for a great future. It is a vote of<br />
confidence in us, and in Canterbury.”<br />
He said one of the focuses<br />
in <strong>2019</strong> was to continuing to<br />
grow the number of Maori and<br />
Pasifika students at Lincoln.<br />
Six new scholarships started<br />
this year to support and<br />
encourage Maori and Pasifika<br />
students to achieve their<br />
aspirations.<br />
Solution to crowding on school bus<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
THE MINISTRY of Education<br />
has made a U-turn on not<br />
funding an additional bus for<br />
West Melton School’s technology<br />
class.<br />
Board chairman Sara Paris<br />
said the school was given<br />
funding in the same week that<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> published the story<br />
about its cramped bus on March<br />
13.<br />
Previously,<br />
the school only<br />
had funding for<br />
one 38-seater<br />
bus to transport<br />
66 year 7 and 8<br />

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

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

News<br />
Meet the district’s new<br />
police youth aid officer<br />
•From page 1<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported<br />
last week that youth crime<br />
has been increasing in<br />
Rolleston – but Senior<br />
Constable Ward believes<br />
the district is no worse<br />
than Christchurch.<br />
A large number of<br />
children have moved to the<br />
district with their families<br />
in recent years, he said.<br />
They are now growing up<br />
and contributing to the<br />
increase. “You’ve got youth<br />
problems in Rolleston,<br />
Leeston and Lincoln that<br />
you didn’t have before<br />
because there wasn’t any<br />
youth,” Senior Constable<br />
Ward said.<br />
When he split his time<br />
between Hornby and<br />
the district, dedicating<br />
attention to one area was<br />
difficult.<br />
“I could never dedicate<br />
my full time to it [<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
youth aid] because of the<br />
logistics, it was too much.”<br />
He will move to the<br />
Rolleston Police Station<br />
within a few weeks, but<br />
hasn’t confirmed an exact<br />
date.<br />
Youth aid is not an area<br />
DEDICATED: Senior<br />
Constable Bruce Ward<br />
is passionate about<br />
working with young<br />
people in the district.<br />
Senior Constable Ward has<br />
always been involved in,<br />
but he is passionate about<br />
working in the community.<br />
“I was seven years in<br />
Oamaru, then three years<br />
as a school community<br />
officer [in Hornby] and<br />
then nine years in youth<br />
aid.”<br />
“I think it’s seeing<br />
change, you can get a<br />
chance to change young<br />
people. You don’t win all<br />
the time, and you have<br />
some young people when<br />
they get 17 they go straight<br />
into district court and<br />
still offending,” Senior<br />
Constable Ward said.<br />
He takes pride in helping<br />
youth offenders transform<br />
themselves. “There’s a<br />
lot of satisfaction when<br />
they’re popping into see<br />
you when they are 19 or<br />
20. I remember one case,<br />
he came in to see me to<br />
say he’s got a job as an<br />
apprentice plumber,”<br />
Senior Constable Ward<br />
said.<br />
“As a 14-year-old, he<br />
was addicted to cannabis.<br />
It wasn’t solely me, of<br />
course, other agencies were<br />
involved.”<br />
Rolleston College<br />
principal Steve Saville<br />
called the appointment a<br />
“fantastic” move.<br />
“From our perspective,<br />
it’s absolutely wonderful,<br />
Bruce is a great guy, we<br />
have a good relationship<br />
with him,” he said.<br />
“The kids know<br />
Bruce, he’s known in the<br />
community, they are very<br />
lucky to have someone who<br />
will be able to hit the floor<br />
running.”<br />

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

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

Colourful spider<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces a new species found in<br />
his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise<br />
public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of<br />
living things around us. Check out the full list of<br />
invertebrates found at http://naturewatch.org.nz/projects/<br />

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

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

Rolleston students say thanks<br />
ROLLESTON College students<br />
treated staff to an afternoon tea<br />
to show their appreciation for<br />
the teachers’ actions during the<br />
lockdown after the March 15<br />
terror attack.<br />
The afternoon tea was initiated<br />
and organised by year 9, <strong>10</strong><br />
and 11 learner leaders from the<br />
Hotoke [winter] whanau.<br />
“The learners wanted to say<br />
thank you and acknowledge<br />
the aroha and bravery staff had<br />
shown towards the learners in<br />
the wake of Friday (March) 15<br />
and also provide a space for staff<br />
well-being to be enhanced,” a<br />
school spokeswoman said.<br />
Teachers received cards with<br />
messages of care from several<br />
students.<br />
“Thank you to Chloe Duff,<br />
Ella Jarvis, Jorja Wood, Josh<br />
Thomas, Alex Prendergast,<br />
Daisey Meyers, Nevaeah<br />
Maeder, Bella Newcombe, Katie<br />
Knight, and Levi Bowden,” the<br />
spokeswoman said.<br />
It wasn’t the only thing<br />
Rolleston College students were<br />
up to last month.<br />
The year 11 law and order<br />
class visited the Meremere<br />
building, home to the Canterbury<br />
University Law School.<br />
The students were shown the<br />
moot room, which is the mock<br />
trial room, and were then taken<br />
upstairs to learn about New<br />
Zealand sentencing legislation.<br />
In this workshop, the<br />
students were taught how to<br />
evaluate the mitigating and<br />
aggravating factors of a criminal<br />
case. The adventure media class<br />
also went on an overnight tramp<br />
to Woolshed Creek.<br />
Teacher in charge Rob<br />
Ferguson said he aim of the trip<br />
was to collect media footage to<br />
produce an adventure-based<br />
media product.<br />

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

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

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

Our People<br />
Alistair Morris<br />
Providing a way for boys to have fun<br />
Lincoln ICONZ is<br />
celebrating its <strong>10</strong>th<br />
birthday. Anan Zaki talks<br />
to Alistair Morris, the<br />
co-ordinator and founder<br />
of the boys’ programme,<br />
about its impact on<br />
young people<br />
What is Lincoln ICONZ?<br />
It’s essentially a newer version<br />
of the Boys’ Brigade which has<br />
been going since 1883. It started<br />
in Scotland by Sir William Smith.<br />
Boys’ Brigade came to New<br />
Zealand in 1886 and 15 years ago<br />
ICONZ was invented as a new<br />
programme to modernise the<br />
Boys’ Brigade.<br />
Why did it need to<br />
modernise?<br />
Essentially, Boys’ Brigade hadn’t<br />
changed for a <strong>10</strong>0-odd years and<br />
was slowly losing numbers –<br />
especially in New Zealand. And<br />
they decided to come up with a<br />
new programme. Boys’ Brigade<br />
was based on the army. Boys’<br />
Brigade had a rank system such<br />
as Corporal, Lance Corporal<br />
and Sergeant. It wasn’t popular<br />
anymore and I think it went away<br />
from our core values a little bit,<br />
like being part of a church. So<br />
ICONZ brought in, it’s not an<br />
acronym or anything. It’s a newer,<br />
modern way of doing it.<br />
What do boys do in the<br />
programme?<br />
We have awards based on<br />
spiritual, physical, adventure,<br />
community and interested.<br />
They are awarded throughout<br />
the year in three or four-week<br />
programmes for each award. And<br />
we just work our way through the<br />
programme, we start at six-yearolds<br />
and go right through to 18.<br />
We do a tycoons award where<br />
we come up with a concept that<br />
we want to make. For example<br />
we made planter boxes last year<br />
and the boys had to come up<br />
with how to make it, the cost of<br />
materials, how much they think<br />
they can sell them for at a profit<br />
because that’s what a tycoon<br />
is and the boys would choose<br />
which charity would receive the<br />
money. They’re doing a patriot’s<br />
award at the moment, so we’ve<br />

ICONZ<br />
co-ordinator<br />
Alistair<br />
Morris says<br />
the Christian<br />
programme<br />
aims to<br />
get boys<br />
to be good<br />
members<br />
of the<br />
community.<br />

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

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

BOOST getting its skates<br />
on for new year<br />
Weedons Community<br />
Centre opening<br />
About 60 people attended the official opening of the Weedons<br />
Community Centre on Friday 5 <strong>April</strong>. Mayor Sam Broughton and<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> MP Hon Amy Adams joined councillors, members of the<br />
Weedons Reserve Committee and the community at the event.<br />
Students from Weedons School also gave a speech, before the<br />
building was declared open.<br />
The project has been in the pipeline since 2011 when the first<br />
plans were drawn up, says Weedons Reserve Committee<br />
Chairman Peter Holmes.<br />
“It’s great to see the building finally completed,” Mr Holmes says.<br />
“This is a community centre which will be used by the cricket and<br />
tennis clubs, but also by the wider community.”<br />
Council Major Projects Property Manager John Reid says the<br />
Community Centre will provide a modern facility for the community<br />
and sports groups. The centre has a multi-purpose room, kitchen,<br />
storeroom, 24-hour accessible toilet and two changing rooms.<br />
BOOST is back with a brand new set of events for the year, starting with an epic skate day<br />
in Rolleston.<br />
BOOST Skate, for people of all ages on all kinds of wheels, will be held at Rolleston Skatepark on<br />
Friday 26 <strong>April</strong>, 11.30am–2pm.<br />
The day will feature a skate competition run by Cheapskates and bike maker Pedalmania will be<br />
there with a huge collection of bizarre and cool recycled bikes. Giant games and other fun will also<br />
be run by the council events team and there will be spot prizes on the day.<br />
It is the first of several BOOST events for the year, which will be run by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council<br />
each school holidays, Katelyn Twiss, Chair of the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council says. “Instead of holding<br />
BOOST in one two-week holiday, this year we are trying to spread a range of activities out<br />
over the year. By doing that, we hope there will be more interaction with the youth and more<br />
opportunities to get different youth from all over the district involved, enjoying themselves and<br />
having fun.”<br />
A sausage sizzle, fundraising for the victims of the terror attack in Christchurch, will be run by<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council and there will also be a food truck and coffee available.<br />
“As a youth council, we really wanted an opportunity for the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> to be able to<br />
contribute and give support to the families of the victims and those affected by the tragedy, even<br />
if that contribution is small, and show that the people of <strong>Selwyn</strong> support love in the face of hate,”<br />
Katelyn says.<br />
BOOST Skate follows on from the eight popular Summer Skate/Scooter Jam events the Council<br />
ran as part of Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. About 530 people of all ages turned out to enjoy the events at<br />
skate parks and schools across the region.<br />
Summer Skate/Scooter Jam organiser Connie Dick said they were excited to see BOOST Skate<br />
continuing the fun.<br />
“It was great to see so many young people taking their first ride over the summer and improving<br />
their skills, and we’re excited to see another opportunity for young people and families to come<br />
back and keep enjoying the parks and staying active.”<br />
School holiday packed with fun<br />
If you’re looking for ways to entertain the kids these school holidays <strong>Selwyn</strong> libraries and <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Aquatic Centre have got you covered.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

Young golfer making her mark<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
WEEDONS GOLFER Deanna<br />
Matthews is winning open<br />
tournaments at the age of 12.<br />
Deanna won the Weedons<br />
senior ladies championships,<br />
shooting a two round score of 151<br />
(75, 76) and winning the 36-hole<br />
match-play final against Sarah<br />
Lurajud 7 and 5 in the process.<br />
“My putting went really well,<br />
which was good because I’d been<br />
doing a lot of practice during the<br />
week and the greens were the<br />
perfect speed for me,” she said.<br />
She also won the <strong>10</strong>0th edition<br />
of the Avondale Ladies Open last<br />
month after shooting 81.<br />
Deanna was thrilled to win on<br />
her home course. “To score what<br />
I did and to putt so well made me<br />
really happy.”<br />
Deanna, who attends Christchurch<br />
South Intermediate, has<br />
already represented Canterbury<br />
at under-19 level.<br />
She trains with coach Wayne<br />
Davies at the Riccarton Park Golf<br />
Complex.<br />
Deanna said she has played<br />
golf since she first picked up a<br />
children’s modified driver four<br />
years ago.<br />
“I just picked up a golf club and<br />
started hitting golf balls and I<br />
noticed I didn’t miss one.”<br />
She now has a 4.3 handicap.<br />
She said her fellow Weedons club<br />
members always make her feel<br />
welcome.<br />
She hopes to one day play<br />
professionally. “For now, I want<br />
to improve my chipping.”<br />

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

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

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

Wednesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
IF YOU’VE hankered after<br />
an Audi Q7 sport utility<br />
vehicle but thought that it<br />
didn’t have that X-factor in<br />
terms of style, Audi have<br />
another offering for you –<br />
the Q8.<br />
The Q8 represents<br />
everything you’ll find in<br />
the Q7, yet it is packaged<br />
in a coupe-type design just<br />
distancing itself from the<br />
traditional SUV market.<br />
Landing at $149,900 in<br />
base model form, the Q8<br />
also competes roughly on<br />
price, the Q7 lists from<br />
$133,400. However, the<br />
evaluation car was carrying<br />
quite a bit of extra kit in the<br />
form of an S-Line package,<br />
it would sell for around<br />
$160,000.<br />
That aside, the Q8 stands<br />
out for its style and that<br />
presence doesn‘t end with<br />
its looks from the exterior,<br />
the interior is gorgeous,<br />
nothing has been left to<br />
chance and it features the<br />
latest in technological<br />
gadgetry.<br />
I particularly like the<br />
haptic touch screens, they<br />
simply respond to the<br />
fingertip with a gentle jolt<br />
as they activate, offering<br />
the user the reassurance<br />
something physical has<br />
taken place. The screens are<br />
also big with large display<br />
graphics, just the ticket for<br />
those whose eyes demand<br />
clarity.<br />
Column space doesn’t<br />
allow for a full description<br />
of what the Q8 offers, but<br />
to say it leaves nothing<br />
to chance; comfort and<br />
convenience features<br />
are in abundance and it<br />
incorporates a significant<br />
array of safety features –<br />
passive and reactive, and<br />
if you add in the Quattro<br />
four-wheel-drive system<br />
that could also been seen a<br />
major safety initiative.<br />
Powering the Q8 is a V6,<br />
turbocharged diesel engine.<br />
It displaces 2967cc and is<br />
rated by Audi at 2<strong>10</strong>kW<br />
with an amazing 600Nm of<br />
torque, the latter developed<br />
strongly between 2250rpm<br />
and 3250rpm.<br />
While these figures<br />
are quite impressive in<br />
themselves, what stands<br />
out most for me is the<br />
performance gleaned from<br />
a vehicle that weighs in<br />
quite tubby at just over<br />
two-tonne.<br />
Audi claim a 6.3sec<br />
burst to <strong>10</strong>0km/h from a<br />
standstill, while it simply<br />
launches through a<br />

AUDI Q8: True to Audi’s four-wheel-drive<br />
manufacturing process.<br />
highway overtake with a<br />
mid-range urgency that is<br />
absolutely delightful, an 80-<br />
120km/h time of 4.4sec can<br />
be expected.<br />
Audi also claim a 6.3-litre<br />
per <strong>10</strong>0km (45mpg)<br />
combined cycle fuel usage<br />
figure. During my time<br />
in the evaluation car the<br />
display graphics were<br />
constantly reading around<br />
7.2l/<strong>10</strong>0km (39mpg),<br />
with a 5l/<strong>10</strong>0km (56mpg)<br />
instantaneous figure sitting<br />
at a steady <strong>10</strong>0km/h, the<br />
engine working over quite<br />
relaxed at just 1250rpm.<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

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

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

a plant-and-forget flower.<br />
They make great garden<br />
beds, borders, and are perfect<br />
for pots. Pansies also<br />
look really attractive when<br />
planted in between larger<br />
plants.<br />
Giant pansies span up<br />
to <strong>10</strong>cm across and grow<br />
slightly higher than your<br />
average pansies too – up to<br />
20cm high. Mixed varieties<br />
are perfect for an array<br />
of pots, hanging baskets or<br />
as a multi-coloured garden<br />
border.<br />
When you’ve got your<br />
seedlings, look for a spot in<br />
your garden that receives<br />
morning (or all day) sun,<br />
with good drainage. After<br />

some compost and fertiliser<br />
to enrich the soil.<br />

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

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />

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

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

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

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