Financial woes force college
to make ‘difficult decisions’
• By Anan Zaki
A MAJOR school in the district
is facing financial issues, forcing
it to make “difficult decisions.”
Ellesmere College has been
running at a loss since 2016.
Principal
Ronan Bass
confirmed to
Selwyn Times
the school’s
struggles were
partly due to
about $78,000
unpaid by
Ronan Bass
parents in
course fees and
course donations.
The details were sent to parents
in an email last week.
Mr Bass told the Selwyn Times
on Sunday there was no risk of
the school closing. But in the
email he did not rule out the
school being put into statutory
management.
That would mean all financial
decisions would be out of the
school’s control and managed by
an “external agent.”
“This is something we wish to
avoid,” Mr Bass said.
In the email to parents, Mr
Bass said the school has been
in discussion with auditors and
Ministry of Education.
“We have been informed by
TROUBLE: Ellesmere College principal Ronan Bass said the school could be placed under
statutory financial management if its current situation does not change dramatically.

our auditors and the Ministry
of Education this situation cannot
continue and there is a real
possibility of being placed under
statutory financial management
if our financial situation does not
dramatically change in the very
near future,” he said.
The Ministry of Education said
its records show the school ran a
deficit of ($70,579) in 2016 and a
deficit of ($17,170) in 2017.
Mr Bass refused to give Selwyn
Times details about its 2018
financial report and the forecast
for this year. The ministry said it
is yet to receive the 2018 reports.
Mr Bass said in the email he
had to make “difficult leadership
decisions’’ due to the ongoing
losses.
“This has included not
replacing some staff who have
left, amalgamating staffing
positions, reducing subjects we
have on offer, increasing class
sizes and more aggressively
marketing for international
students,” he said.
Ministry of Education deputy
secretary sector enablement
and support Katrina Casey told
Selwyn Times that the ministry
is “satisfied the school is not
currently in financial hardship”
and a formal intervention has
not been proposed or deemed
necessary at this time.
“However, we appreciate that
additional unforeseen costs
could impact on its financial
position which may at some
point mean we need to discuss a
financial intervention with the
board of trustees,” Ms Casey
said.
The school’s board of trustees
chairman Mark Maddren told
Selwyn Times: “It’s not much
of a storm to be fair, it’s quite
common for schools to be on a
paper deficit.”

SELWYN TIMES
ELLESMERE COLLEGE is under the
pump.
On page 1 today, we reveal unpaid fees
from parents, course donations and other
unspecified problems are continuing to
impact on the school.
Principal Ronan Bass has ruled out closure, thank the
proverbial for that, but he hasn’t ruled out the school going into
statutory management.
That would mean financial decisions are made by an outside
party – and sometimes that isn’t a bad thing.
Parents were emailed last week. It didn’t take long for
someone to tell us, which is what we’re here for – to tell our
readers as much as possible about what is going on in the
district.
I hope the school can work through its problems.

E-scooters mooted for Rolleston
• By Anan Zaki
LIME SCOOTERS could hit
the footpaths and roads of the
Rolleston next month.
The district council is currently
assessing an application
from the scooter operator Lime
for a trial in the town.
Mayor Sam Broughton met
with representatives from Lime
last month and hopes to see
them in the district in about
four weeks.
Lime scooters are batterypowered
which are activated by
a smart phone app.
District council environmental
services manager Tim Harris
said the trial application was for
200 scooters in Rolleston. The
application was filed on March
15.
Mr Harris said safety is one
of the issues that the council
is considering and it has not
reached a final view on the matter
or the application itself.
“Council staff are aiming to
have a recommendation on the
application for council at the
earliest meeting available,” he
said.
The next council meeting is on
May 8.
Mr Broughton said from
his discussions with Lime
representatives, the company
indicated it wanted to extend its
Christchurch operations.
“So they wouldn’t be operating
here independently of that
[Christchurch]. It will be about
using existing resources they
have in Christchurch,” he said.
WHIZZ

Mr Broughton is looking
forward to seeing the shared
electric scooters in the district –
if it’s approved.
“I’ve used them in Christchurch
and they are great to get
around on. They provide an
alternative to walking and driving,”
he said.
“I think they are convenient
and pretty easy to use.”
Mr Broughton said the trial
will outline whether Lime scooters
would be feasible or not in
the district.
Rolleston Residents’ Association
chairwoman Leonie
MacLachlan said Lime scooters
are a good idea.
“How people use them,
whether on a footpath or on
the road I think should really
still be up for discussion,” Mrs
MacLachlan said.
The residents’ association is
likely to discuss the scooters at
its next meeting on April 29, she
said.
Lime scooters were first
launched in Auckland and
Christchurch in October last
year. It has since been introduced
in a number of other locations
across the country.
Since its launch, it has drawn
a number of safety concerns
which resulted the scooters
being temporarily

Poll supports intersection lights
• By Anan Zaki
MORE CALLS have been made
to upgrade a controversial
intersection in West Melton.
Residents took part in an
online poll last week – quizzing
people about their views on
the long running subject of
improving the intersection at
State Highway
73 and Weedons
Ross Rd.
In the poll, 396
people called
for traffic lights;
102 wanted a

roundabout;
seven an
overpass; one
wanted to create
a four-way stop
sign; and one to
do nothing.
West Melton
Residents’
Association
member Bruce
Russell said
residents are preparing a
petition to take to Parliament,
which will call for traffic lights
to be installed.
The poll indicated residents’
desire to improve safety, he said.
“We’re looking at doing a
petition that we can present.
BUSY: West Melton residents want to install traffic lights at the
intersection of State Highway 73 and Weedons Ross Rd.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
We’ve formed a small
committee to look after it,” Mr
Russell said.
He hopes to start collecting
signatures this month.
The intersection is managed
by the New Zealand Transport
Agency – which operates the
state highway network.
Selwyn Times reported in
October that proposed upgrades
for the intersection weren’t
included in NZTA’s national
land transport programme for
2018-21, which was released last
year.
An NZTA spokeswoman said
it is aware of residents’ concerns,
but there is no change in the
priority for traffic signals at the
intersection.
“While the projects listed
are not currently indicated
for funding in this three-year
period 2018-21, they are still
retained in the programme
should funding become
available in the future or their
relative priority increase,” the
spokeswoman said.
Mr Russell has been
campaigning to improve the
intersection for more than 10
years. He said the road is too
narrow for a roundabout and
overpass, so traffic lights are the

only viable option.
Weedons Ward district
councillor Jeff Bland said NZTA
needs to realise West Melton is
in a unique situation.
“West Melton was just a
small little nothing. There
was a pub there and a few
houses. The problem was, and
still is, you couldn’t see the
houses when you’re travelling
on State Highway 73 either
going towards or away from
Christchurch,” Cr Bland
said.
Traffic lights would slow the
traffic down, he said.
Cr Bland intends to sign the
petition if it goes ahead.
Mr Russell said he doesn’t
want to wait for a fatality before
action is taken.
“We’re going to get a
tremendous amount of traffic
coming up Weedons Ross Rd
when the motorway opens,” he
said.

A BUSY route into the district will

Shands Rd is closing again from

COST: Petrol stations across the district were charging $2.30 a litre for 91
and $1.73 a litre for diesel on Monday.
Fuel prices close
in on record high
• By Julia Evans
PETROL PRICES are
rising across the district,
as they head towards last
year’s record high of almost
$2.50 a litre.
On Monday
petrol stations
were charging
$2.30 a litre for
unleaded 91 up
from $2.26 a litre
last week.
Diesel also
increased from
$1.67 to $1.73 a
litre.
Automobile
Association
principal adviser of
regulation and PetrolWatch
spokesman Mark Stockdale
said prices are rising
around the country.
“What the AA has
observed is international
commodity prices have
been increasing over the
last few weeks or so.”
But he was unable to say
whether petrol would reach
last year’s record prices.
“It’s impossible to predict
what will happen. There
are various international
factors that influence the
price at the pump and
the exchange rate is not
helping,” Mr Stockdale
said.
“We shouldn’t expect
prices to get down to $1.50
like some people might
remember. Those days are
gone.”
A Z Energy spokesperson
said it buys crude oil,
refined petrol and
diesel on the
international
market.
“Recently,
the price of
oil on the
international
market has
risen, resulting
in an increase
in the price at
the pump.”
A BP
spokesperson
said the recent
price changes are a result
of factors that are out of its
control, including increases
in the cost of product and
weakening of the New
Zealand dollar.
“We are really conscious
that fuel can be a
reasonable proportion of a
household budget, and we
review BP Connect prices
every day so our prices are
as competitive as possible.”
The rising cost of
petrol comes as Gull has
announced it will move
into the South Island.
Its first site will open in
Maheno, south of Oamaru
on State Highway 1, in
July. It will open others in
Christchurch and greater
Canterbury over the
following months.
Mark Stockdale
Mr Stockdale said
Gull’s expansion into
the South Island is good
news for motorists who
could expect more price
competition.
However, cheaper
stations like Gull and NPD
still have to raise prices, he
said.
“Taxes will ensure that
prices remain relatively
high.”
Energy and Resources
Minister Megan Woods
said she is concerned about
petrol prices.
“A major report from
Ministry of Business,
Innovation and
Employment found there
was evidence to suggest
the market wasn’t fully
competitive and that
consumers, especially in
the South Island, were
paying over the odds for
their fuel. As a proud
South Islander, that’s not
acceptable to me.”
Dr Woods said the
Government has moved
urgent legislation through
to enable the Commerce
Commission to investigate
fuel companies, compel
them to release evidence
and investigate if the
market is working
properly.
“That process is under
way now and we are
awaiting the results of their
investigation.”

Our own Dad’s Army served to
EVERY ANZAC Day
New Zealanders gather to
commemorate the sacrifices
our service men and women
made while fighting in overseas
conflicts, defending the interests
of our country.
What is seldom remembered at
these events is those who served
on the home front, defending
our shores from the threat of
invasion.
During World War 2 New
Zealand did not have a regular
army and the defence of the
nation was reliant on the
part-time Territorial Army and
air force, along with our very
own ‘Dad’s Army’ – the Home
Guard.
Every township in the country
had its Home Guard unit that
was a semi-military organisation
established to assist in the active
defence of the local area in the
event of an enemy attack. The
Selwyn District was no different,
with the units within the
Ellesmere, Springs and Malvern
counties forming the Selwyn
(East) Battalion.
At this time, the majority of
the fit men of military service
age were either serving overseas
in combat zones or conscripted
into the Territorials from the
Historian and district council staff member Wayne
Stack continues his monthly look at Selwyn’s past.

age of 18. Those who served in
the Home Guard units were
generally volunteer veterans of
World War 1, too old for active
service overseas and those who
were required to remain in the
country to perform essential
work, such as farming, mining
and manufacturing.

usually mustered 30 volunteers
on weekly parades out of a roll
of 40. Petrol scarcity, a shortage
of farm labour and the distance
the men had to travel to attend,
made it difficult to regularly get
a full unit muster. Many had to
cycle or walk within a 10-mile
radius to attend weekly parades
and training.
The purpose of the Home
Guard was to defend a certain
area of local territory from Japanese
invasion; a threat that was
feared from late 1941 through to
late 1943, after which a ‘standdown’
for home defence was
announced and Home Guard
parades were reduced to quarterly
events.
When training, the Home
Guard underwent a systematic
programme of marching,
rifle drill, musketry and field
exercises where its members
got to know every physical
feature of their particular area
to defend.
The majority of the rural
guardsmen already knew the
areas well as most of them
worked on the land and had
lived all their lives in the area.

protect homes and land
An example of this can be seen
in the jingoism of that
time from an article in the
Ellesmere Guardian in June
1942: ‘The Guard possesses a
solid backbone of competent
enthusiasts – men who realise
that there may be a time when
their own homes and acres may
be threatened. If that time
should come, no defenders
will be harder to dislodge by
an invader or more subtle in
counter-attack, than the sparetime
soldiers who train on their
own fields and hills.’
In 1942 there was a real
fear that an enemy force
would effect a landing along
Kaiteriti Spit and move inland
and over Gebbies Pass to
capture the port of Lyttelton.
A Canterbury Defence Anti-
Invasion Plan was established
which relied on using Territorial
troops and Home Guard units,
many of them being men from
the Selwyn District.
One of these men was Ted
Sunckell, a 36-year-old married
farmer from Brookside.
Ted had been a member of the
Doyleston Home Guard platoon
before volunteering to join the
8th Independent Mounted Rifle
Squadron. This mounted unit of
about 80 men was unique in that
BATTLE READY: The 8th Independent Mounted Rifles on a charge at Birdlings Flat 1941.
it was established specifically to
defend the hill country of Banks
Peninsula.
Locally known as the ‘Hill Billies,’
the Independent Mounted
Rifles was mainly made up of
farmers and farm labourers who
were experienced horsemen and
who knew the area well. Some
of the officers and NCOs were
veterans of the Mounted Rifle
Brigade from World War 1 and a
number were also noted lecturers
and farm managers from
Canterbury Agricultural College
(now Lincoln University), such
as troop commander Lieutenant
I.W. Weston, Jack Calder,
Malcolm Burns (later Sir) and
Richard Bevin. Many were from
families who are still prevalent
in the district and Banks Peninsula
– Hutchinson, Thacker,
Robinson, Waghorn, Wright and
Shuttleworth.
In the age of mechanised
warfare this mounted unit was
considered antiquated. The
soldiers’ uniforms and accoutrements
were the same old style as
the Mounted Rifles from World
War 1.
Nine such squadrons were
established throughout New
Zealand and were formed for
use in hill country where the
mechanised units of the Territorial
Forces would not be able to
operate freely. For that reason
recruiting was confined to those
men whose occupations made
them fit for such work. Recruiting
was also limited to married
men between the ages of 25 and
55 years and unmarried men between
the ages of 45 and 55. Such
volunteers also had to provide
their own horse and saddlery.
A camp for the Mounted Rifles
was first established at Birdlings
Flat in May 1941, but a more
permanent tented camp was later
transferred to the Motukarara
Racecourse. As part-time volunteers,
members of the unit were
only required to attend camp one
week a month during the period
of invasion threat, although they
kept their rifles and ammunition
at home to be ready if called
upon.
In reality, in the case of an
invasion the Home Guard were
only expected to give warning
and create some delay by making
road blocks to slow the enemy
advance, while the Mounted
Rifles were also expected to
delay an advance by seizing vital
defensive positions in the hills,
giving time for the better trained
Territorial units to react.
Fortunately, no invasion
occurred and these men did not
have to risk their lives in combat.
However, we should acknowledge
the dedication and willingness
they showed in preparing to
defend the district and country if
required.

BACKYARD CRITTERS
Dairy plant open day
creams it in Darfield
ABOUT 550 people went
through the gates of Fonterra’s
Darfield site at its open day.
People queued at the gates
early for a rare chance to look
behind the scenes of the world’s
joint-largest milk dryer, a
distribution centre the size of
seven rugby fields, and the new
$150 million cream cheese plant,
a Fonterra spokeswoman said.
Fonterra general manager
operations Darfield and Upper
South Island Harriet Van Genne-
Knape said it was great to see a
good turn out.
“It was a little wet and cold but
that didn’t seem to deter anyone.
From the very young, to the
group from a local retirement
home, there was something of
interest to everyone,” she said.
“The kids loved getting into the
tankers and I hear our automated
forklifts and freshly-made cream
cheese were also a hit,” Mrs Van
Genne-Knape said.
The site’s open day event was
one of three held aroundNew
Zealand on April 6. With the cooperatives
Te Rapa and Edendale
sites also hosting visitors in
a bid to lift the lid on dairy
production.

A MOTH species that showed
up on the window at night a
fortnight ago was the apple
looper moth, Phrissogonus
laticostatus.
This introduced species is also
found in Australia and New
Caledonia.
It has a wingspan of 15mm and
males have a distinctive forwardpointing,
scaly tuffs
on their shoulders, resembling
the wing of
a pterodactyl.

Males also have shiny black
scales on the underside of the

Come of Age – The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble
Throughout history of human life on earth, we have learned from our elders.
Our lives and our communities have been strengthened by those who have come before us.
“Getting older is inevitable,
becoming an elder is a skill.”
– Stephen Jenkinson
In todays world as people strive for self-improvement we often lean towards therapists and life coaches to
gain our knowledge, yet there is a significant lack of intention to engage deeply with our elders as a key
component of our education. Elderhood today is often understood more in terms of its absence rather
than its presence.
It is often said that age carries wisdom, yet at a time when we have
more older people than we ever have before, why are there so
few elders among us? What constitutes an elder and how do we
re-engage with generational wisdom-sharing?
Stephen Jenkinson is one of the world’s most engaging
truth-tellers and philosophers on the topic of wisdom, death
and elderhood. Join us for this unique evening to explore how
our society can reconnect with the wisdom and humility of
elderhood. Suitable for any age.
In brief, Stephen Jenkinson, MTS, MSW teaches internationally
and is co-founder of The Orphan Wisdom School,
Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada. An award winning
author of Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul. Stephen
has also been a subject of the feature length documentary

work with dying people. www.orphanwisdom.com

Rolleston College learning leader
for languages Annie Mansfield
writes about a visit from Spanish
students
HOLA! BIENVENIDOS! At Rolleston
College we have been enjoying the
company of visitors from Spain over the
last couple of weeks.
Last year we established a sister
school relationship with the IES Luis
de Góngora, which is in Córdoba in the
Andalucia region in the south of Spain.
Our sister school is very different to
ours, it was built in 1577 and is located in
the central plaza of Córdoba, which is the
only city in the world to have four World
Heritage sites.
The school building is beautiful and
historic and has its own chapel.
During 2018, learners in our year
10 Spanish class began a friendship
with Spanish students. They enjoyed
sharing emails, study projects and
communicating online via social media.
On April 1, we welcomed our first
group of Spanish visitors to school, with a
traditional mihi whakatau. The students
were excited to meet each other in person
for the first time.
The group has enjoyed visits to the
gondola, the museum, the central city,
and a day in Wellington. We enjoyed a

day in Akaroa, with both the Spanish and
New Zealand students working together
in double kayaks and giant stand-up
paddleboards.
It was fun to hear the group bonding
over the Spanish songs they all knew
and as teachers we enjoyed hearing La
Macarena and La Bamba, followed by
various Queen hits, belted out from the
back of the bus.
The Spanish students have also attended
some lessons at school, and as their
English is excellent, they were able to
get involved with the learning. It was
especially rewarding to see our learners
in the years 9, 10 and 11 Spanish classes
having the opportunity to practice their
Spanish with our guests.
They were able to ask a lot of questions
to find out about life in Spain and what
school is like there.
Said year 10 student Tate Hawker: “It
was interesting having the Spanish people
in our class and seeing how they reacted
in a different environment to what they
are used to. It was fun learning from
them and learning about their hobbies
and what they like to do.”
Sam Maccoll, also in year 10, said “I
thought it was pretty cool seeing how
they pronounced the Spanish. I asked
questions in Spanish, such as asking them
about their family and hobbies, and they
seemed to understand.”
With Canterbury experiencing
a hot summer after the wettest
winter on record, our weather
has certainly been extreme.
However, brave Cantabrians,
with verandas and adjustable
louvres from Stratco on our
side, we can take back control
of our unpredictable elements.
Steve Cain, Outdoor Product
Specialist at Stratco, is passionate
about their verandas and electronic
louvre systems “they add great
value to a home, families get
so much more use from their
outdoors, and the real estate
market recognises that value as
well”.
Steve says adding an adjustable
louvre system allows you to
control exactly how much sunlight
and breeze in, and protect from
rain as well.
Custom made to suit your
requirements and powder coated
to any colour, the louvre comes
standard with an electronic remote
control as well as a rain sensor
which gives you huge flexibility on
how to use the system.
The verandas are Stratco’s own

unique leading edge design and
componentry. Steve is pleased to
be able to offer a bespoke veranda
at the same price as a standard
product, because Stratco has
the design tools that enable the
veranda to be custom-designed to
your size, layout, and attachment
requirements.
The process is simple: Steve
will talk through the possibilities
with you and then measure and
quote, which is free with no
obligation. Stratco then designs,
manufactures, and installs the
verandas and louvres themselves.
It’s a one-stop-shop, with all the
project management and heavy
lifting taken care of, leaving you
hands free to thumb your nose at
our climate chaos.

HOMECOMING: Father and daughter enjoying time together after three days
apart.
Daddy’s home
WELL, I didn’t manage
that dream of a sleep-in.
But after three nights
away from Vittoria and
Laura, even being forced
awake before sunrise in my
own bed felt good.
As I said in my last
column, I was away
competing in the dragon
boat nationals at Lake
Karapiro (go Waimak)!
It was the longest I’ve
been away from Vittoria.
Although the break from
all-day, everyday parenting
was nice, I missed it like I
never thought I would.
One night I woke up in
the wee hours just freaking
out that I couldn’t find
Vittoria or even hear her.
It took me a while to chill
out and remember where
I was.
Is this something that
will just happen now?
Luckily this is 2019 so I
could use video calling to
see the family each day.
It was really cute seeing
how excited Vittoria got to
see my face.
She would do this little
jiggle, smile and giggle
dance before getting back
to whatever she was doing,
throwing little smiles my
way while Laura and I
talked.
Eventually she would,
however, try and hang up
the call. I guess you can
have too much dad.
I thought she would
just about explode when
I got home, but she was
way too engrossed in the
Wiggles when I got in the
door.
After her song finished
she started warming up to
me again and it wasn’t long
until she was back to being
cuddly and excited to be
around me.
I think out of the two
of them, Laura was most
excited to have me home.
The weekend had included
the unholy meeting of
arbitrary toddler routine
changes and the end of
VITTORIA
& Matt
daylight saving.
Not to mention poor
weather.
Nothing like being
trapped indoors with a
grumpy toddler who woke
you up multiple times
overnight before deciding
4am was playtime.
My wife is a saint.
Bubs and I reconnected
on a daddy/daughter day
with some friends over
from Australia at the
petting zoo Arion Farm.
Nothing quite like
being chased by ducks
and having a sheep try and
eat your hand, to rekindle
the spark of daddy’s-girlness.

Nippy Nick seals win
for Lincoln University
Jim Doyle reports
on how Lincoln
University went
against Christchurch
on Saturday
YOU COULD say Nick
Frost lived up to his name
in scoring the last try – but
the substitute lock was
more than just nippy.
He lit the afterburners
in a spectacular dash
from broken play 40m
out to well and truly
nail a convincing 33-7
win for the Rams over
Christchurch.
The Rams will be
satisfied with the win
against the only team to
beat them last year (once).
On Saturday, Christchurch
had the up-front grunt,
but not enough dash. Only
once did they breach the
Lincoln defence.
Talented young openside
flanker Tom Christie sliced
through easily to finish a
big siege on the Lincoln
line sparked by a driving
maul from a lineout 8min
from half-time.
The visitors looked very
likely to repeat the effort
several times but Lincoln’s
last-ditch defence was up
to the mark as usual.
SPORT
ABILITY: Lincoln
University’s Ngane
Punivai scored two
tries in their win over
Christchurch.
Ngane Punivai was
again influential for the
Rams, showing his ability
to make ground through
heavy traffic and he
finished two movements as
well as surviving a big hit
in the air.
Lincoln had the luxury
of bringing on Ere Enari
and Brett Cameron for the
second half, although they
did not eclipse the men
SELWYN TIMES
they replaced. Harrison
Courtney was typically
strong on the charge until
he was subbed off in the
last quarter. Dom Devine
again came on as hooker
when Nic Souchon retired
just on half-time. Maybe
having three props in the
front row helped Lincoln
embarrass Christchurch in
the scrum at times.
Cullen Grace was again
potent from No 8, while
Kris Miller went the
distance with distinction

Darfield High rides to win in dressage
Darfield High School
equestrian manager Nicky
Voss writes about the
school’s recent success
DARFIELD HIGH School won
the Canterbury interschool
dressage for the fourth year in a
row.
The school entered three
teams on March 27, including a
non-competitive side. One took
out the compeititon and another
finished 14th out of more than
20 teams of riders from Timaru
to North Canterbury.
Each class had 26-27 riders,
and placings were hard fought.
The winning team comprised
of Charlotte Thomas, Georgia
Allison, Katherine Hadler and
Caitlin Rayne.
Charlotte rode two
outstanding tests, scoring more
than 70 per cent for both, with
a win and a second on her
chestnut mare. Katherine also

Sophie Allison was a lastminute

Chloe Cameron was all ready to

This was the last dressage
day for Georgia Allison, who
has competed and been part of
every winning team since 2016.
She will be greatly missed in the
team, but it warms my heart that
we have so many super riders
coming up and that equestrian
will remain strong in Darfield.
There is a real feeling of pride
in the equestrian teams, which
is shown by the camaraderie
between the riders and the
parents, and the level of
professionalism they exhibit in
their behaviour, attitude and
pride in their appearance.
I would like to thank Georgia
for all of her work behind the
scenes.

New families welcomed at
citizenship ceremony
A long road from Nigeria to Rolleston ended in happiness for the
Iposu family as they were welcomed as New Zealand citizens.
The Iposu family were among nine new New Zealanders from
Nigeria, the Philippines and Nepal, who were sworn in at the latest
citizenship ceremony held in the Council chambers. Sade Iposu,
from Rolleston, said it had been a long journey to citizenship, but
the family couldn’t be happier.
“We’re so grateful, so happy, so pleased—at last.”
Mrs Iposu said her husband first moved to New Zealand in 2003
to complete his PhD at Lincoln University and the family joined
him in 2005. Mrs Iposu, a micro-biologist by training, got a job
with the Canterbury District Health Board and was later able to
retrain as a nurse.
The family loved Selwyn and had built a house in Faringdon, Mrs
Iposu said. They had felt welcomed by people, with great friends
who supported her through working and looking after four children
when her husband had to return to Nigeria for a time.
After a delay with their residency application the family were
delighted to officially be New Zealanders. “We have been so
blessed to have a Kiwi family who were so welcoming and lovely
and said this is your home too,” Mrs Iposu said.
“It’s not an easy journey, but what I have learned along the way is
you just have to focus and never give up.”
Feedback sought on new
Leeston facility
The Council is planning a new community facility for Leeston and is
now seeking feedback on possible ways that it could be best utilised.
The Council’s Long-Term Plan 2018-2028 (LTP) process indicated
a modern fit-for-purpose community facility was required to meet
the growing needs of the Leeston community. This led to Council
adding the project to the LTP.
Open Space and Property manager Mark Rykers says the project is
at its very early stages. Council is speaking with the community to
first understand what the needs of the community actually are.
“In this first stage of public feedback, we’re wanting to know the
types of activities which people in the community see themselves
doing in the facility,” he says.
“This will give us a better idea of what kind of building could be built
to accommodate those activities and how it would be used.”
“There will be plenty of opportunities to provide feedback on the
facility, and we will have a formal public consultation process when
the project develops. I would like to thank the Leeston community
for its positivity and enthusiasm at this early stage of the project.”
Have your say
Feedback closes at 5pm on Monday 6 May.
For more information and to complete the feedback form go to
selwyn.govt.nz/newleestonfacility. Hardcopy feedback forms are
available at the Leeston Library and Community Centre.

100 years of Prebbleton rugby
SPORT
• By Jacob Page
PREBBLETON’S FIERCE rivals
Lincoln will be out to spoil the
club’s centenary celebrations
during their combined country
senior rugby encounter on
Saturday.
Club member Richard Busch,
who has produced a centenary
book commemorating the
occasion, said the two teams,
which will meet at Prebbleton
Oval, have a heated rivalry dating
back to 1944 when they played
for the Challenge Shield.
“The fierce rivalry between the
two teams has continued but the
shield disappeared,” he said.
Little more is known about
what happened to the Challenge
Shield following ‘the blood bath
game’. But when the shield was
found in a store room, the aim
was to put it up for grabs again
this weekend, along with the
Hayden Kerr Memorial Trophy,
which has been played for since
1990.
“Some of the older guys said
that with the game being more
forward dominated in those days,
there used to be a lot of (stuff)
that used to happen – punches,
twisted arms and legs.
“Back in those days, Prebbleton
and Lincoln was a real grudgematch,”
he said.
The Prebbleton Rugby Club
was formed in 1919 as the
Prebbleton-Halswell Rugby Club.
It was established by school
headmaster A.F. McMurtrie and
resident Herb Prebble.
In 1920 the club could not
field a first grade team so ended
up playing third grade in the
Christchurch competition.
The CRFU complained to the
club as their colours were the
same as Sydenham (blue and red
hoops).
In 1936, Prebbleton returned
to the Ellesmere competition and
won the first grade title four years
later. It was a feat they would not
replicate again until 1974.
Mr Busch said the book, which
he has been working on for the
past 12 months, became a passion
project.
“My grandfather (Alan) started
NOSTALGIA: One of the Prebbleton centenary jerseys to be
auctioned off during the celebrations. (Left) – Canterbury
coach and former Crusader Joe Maddock is one of
Prebbleton’s finest products.
playing here in 1947, and now
my father (Pat), uncle (Alistar),
myself, and now my son is
playing here, so to have four
generations – this club means a
lot.”
Mr Busch played for the senior
team during the 75th anniversary
celebrations in 1994, so he felt the
book was an important part of
ensuring the history of the club is
not forgotten.
The club has not produced any
All Blacks – but has produced
more than 50 Ellesmere and
20 Canterbury Country
representatives.
They have produced two
Crusaders – Joe Maddock,
who has been playing for the
club since he was 15-years-old,
and Peter Borlase, who played
from under-seven through to
under-18 level. The club has also
produced five national provincial
players in Maddock, Borlase
(both Canterbury), Craig Moore
(Tasman) and Steve Alfield
(Tasman).
It is hoped more than 350
people will turn up to celebrate
the club’s centenary.
The club will auction off
commemorative centenary
jerseys on Friday night.
“They’re old school cotton
jerseys with the yolk on the
front and the centenary logo on
one side and on the back, with a
stitched on white square with a
black number on it.”
The club has never had an
honours board so that will be
unveiled on Friday night as well.
Alistar Busch, Steve Laughton,
Karl Challis and Jeromy Knowler
will all be made life members this
weekend.
Richard said he hoped his
book will help the club cherish its
history until the next milestone
in 25 years.

Free landscaping plan on offer
A free landscape plan is being offered by The Outdoor
Space in a Facebook promotion this month. The free plan
is available with every accepted quote for sections under
2000m2 and the other provision is that the customer
“likes and shares us”, says owner Aaron Bartlett.
Winter is a great time for landscaping while you are
not as likely to be outside and the work can be done with
minimum interruption and ready for when the warmer
weather arrives.
The team at The Outdoor Space can do everything
except building the house including paving, irrigation,
lawns including artificial grass, planting, fencing, water
features, pergolas, outdoor fires, raised planters, decks,
stone walls and pillars, brick and block laying, vegetable
gardens - and lighting.
“If the client has an idea we can build it or we can also
create a design around what they’d like and then build
it ... we’re basically a one stop shop for all your outdoor
needs,” says Aaron.
The Outdoor Space team includes qualified
landscapers and a brick and block layer so they do not
need to use many outside contractors to complete the
project.
They have a massive range of options for stones,
bark, timber and pavers that can be viewed at their
office at 211 Wards Road in Rolleston. Or, with staff in
Rolleston, Christchurch and Ashburton, they can bring
the samples directly to your door.

medals at the Ellerslie International Flower Show.

table, got some new team members on
board, got our yard, shop and workshop
set up largely as we want it, we were
ready to do something crazy,” says Cath.
73 Hire originally started up in Darfield
and the Rolleston branch was added
earlier this year, offering a wide range
of plant and equipment in excellent
condition, saving locals from having to

include car transporters and log splitters
along with scissor lifts, pumps, spits,
garden power tools, loaders, chippers
and much more. With a separate entry
and exit gate, pick-ups from Rolleston

to add the
Bark
Once you have given your garden
a good boost of nutrients with
products such as our Organic
Compost, Blood and Bone and
fertiliser, you will want to add
some bark in preparation for
the winter. A good 10cm layer
of bark will help to protect your
plant’s roots from the cold
weather, keep a more even soil
temperature (which plants like)
and it will aid in suppressing the
weeds. Intelligro manufacture all
their barks and mulches on site, they are carefully monitored for
quality and then stored under our covered bins. Our friendly team
are happy to help you work out how much you need, and what
product best suits your area.

Sampling concludes
for NZ’s biggest ever
bee study
Biosecurity New Zealand has completed
sampling for the largest and most detailed
study of honey bee health ever undertaken
in New Zealand.
More than 60 beekeepers participated
in the Bee Pathogen Programme and had
their hives tested every six months for two
and half years.
Biosecurity New Zealand senior
scientist, Dr Richard Hall, says the
research will provide a wealth of valuable
information to the beekeeping industry.
“The Bee Pathogen Programme will
help us better understand the effect that
diseases, climate and apiary management
practices have on colony losses and
productivity,” he says.
“We have completed sampling and our
experts have begun carefully evaluating
the huge amount of data that has been
collected.
“This includes studying more than
130,000 honey bees from 300 samples
taken throughout the country that are now
archived in Biosecurity New Zealand’s
freezers.
“Once the data has been carefully
evaluated it will be available to the
beekeeping industry and to researchers for
further analysis.”
Biosecurity New Zealand is aiming
to release its conclusions from the Bee
Pathogen Programme in late 2019.
Dr Hall says Biosecurity New Zealand
is grateful to the beekeepers and trained
apiculture inspectors who participated
in the research programme and the
inspectors who conducted the field work.
“We are very thankful to all of the
beekeepers who have participated in the
programme and allowed us access to their
hives for sampling.”

Spring bulbs – your questions answered
Fire rages, homes at risk

in patterns? And the list goes on.

I get asked the most.
Do I need to chill my
bulbs?
Yes – but only tulips and
hyacinths. And it’s only essential
if you experience fewer than five
frosts a winter. But even if you
do get enough natural chilling
in winter, fridge chilling can still
give benefits – taller stems and
earlier flowering.
Tulips and hyacinths are native
to areas which experience
quite cold winters and they need
this cold period for the bulb to
complete the development of
the flower bud deep inside. Sure
signs you should have chilled
your bulbs are if they produced
unusually short stems or the
bulbs failed to flower at all.
Done correctly, chilling your
tulips and hyacinths will result in
perfect spring flowers.
I haven’t got my spring
bulbs yet, is there still time?
There’s still plenty of time, mid-
April to mid-May are ideal planting
times as the soil cools and we
get some rain.
What about my tulip and
hyacinth bulbs that I chilled
and then planted last year?
Do I need to re-chill those
ones?
If you live in a warmer area and
chilled them before planting the
first time, it is probably a good
idea to lift them and repeat that
for subsequent years.
Ideally, you will have harvested
them during December/January
and left them in an airy place for
some weeks until you start chilling
them now.
However, if you didn’t lift your
bulbs and they’re still in the
ground, it’s best to leave them
there now. Areas that have had
rain may have caused roots to
start already and we don’t want to
disturb that. In December/January
you can lift them and follow
the above instructions.
How and when do I chill
my tulips and hyacinths?
And can I put them in the
freezer?
1. Early to mid-April is the
perfect time to start chilling your
bulbs. Too early and you’ll stunt
the flower bud development
because the bulb is not ready for
it yet.
2. Use a paper bag. It’s very
important the bulbs can breathe
and plastic bags cause sweating
and rot may develop.
3. Keep the bulbs to the side of
the fridge, not at the back where
the cooler plate may ice up and
damage them, or where condensation
may cause mould to
develop.
4. Never put bulbs in the
freezer. The freezer is too cold
and will kill your bulbs.
5. Keep fruit out of the fridge
while you’re chilling your bulbs.
Ripening fruit releases a gas
called ethylene which can cause
severe damage to the developing
flower bud in the bulb. If you
can’t keep fruit out of the fridge,
include an ethylene-absorbing sachet
in the bag with the bulb. This
will prevent ethylene damage and
suppress mould growth (they’re
actually really good in the vege
compartment too, to make your
veges keep longer).
When do I plant my bulbs
and how deep should I
plant them?
Once you’ve chilled your
bulbs for around eight weeks it’s
time to start planting in mid to
late May when soil temperatures
are cooler.
Before you plant, work the soil
with a fork to a depth of 25cm.
This is deeper than the bulbs need
to be planted but will allow their
new roots to easily push further
into the soil. Then plant your
bulbs around 15cm deep – it’s
cooler down there. Once planted
give your bulbs a light watering.
In cooler parts of New Zealand
you can plant tulips and hyacinths
successfully in pots, but because
pots warm up so quickly, even in
winter, I don’t recommend them
for warmer areas.
Apply a bulb fertiliser (available
from your local garden
centre) once the shoots emerge,
and water it in well.
If I plant my bulbs in a
pattern or a straight line will
they stay in that pattern?
Yes, they will stay in that general
shape, but as they naturally
increase in numbers over the
years the sharp lines and edges
will become a little fuzzier.

This Autumn the WEA is offering a
range of courses with the emphasis on
self and social care. We recognise that
having opportunities to listen deeply to
one another, and to come together around
a shared activity or experience are vital
parts of building a safe and connected
community. It is also true that to look after
others we must first look after ourselves. It
can be as simple as building time into our
busy lives for things that feed us: perhaps an
artistic or musical pursuit, learning a new
language, or practicing meditation. With
a range of over 40 courses from Middle
Eastern Dance to Understanding the Treaty
in 2019, Foraging to Rethinking Mental
Health and a welcoming and enthusiastic
community of learners, there is lots to gain
from a course at the WEA and we would

Holden’s big Acadia – born in the US
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
A STICKER with the message
“proudly built in Tennessee” is
something you don’t see often
on new vehicles sold in New
Zealand.
Sure, there have been a smattering
of US-built cars available
for NZ buyers, but they are few
and far between. However, there’s
a newcomer on the block, and
it represents much of the way
we view US cars, the seven-seat
Acadia is here and it’s big and
bold.
The Acadia is a large sport utility
vehicle that comes out of the
GMC stable, GMC is an off-shoot
of the giant General Motors conglomerate
that focuses primarily
on trucks and pick-ups. However,
the Acadia distances itself from
the ute market, it is built on a sophisticated
monocoque floorpan
with fully independent suspension,
lending itself to a refined
SUV which targets Toyota’s Highlander
as its main competition.
Under the bonnet sits a 3.6-litre
V6 petrol engine which is rated at
231kW and 367Nm, these healthy
outputs are realised tall in the rev
band at 6600rpm and 5000rpm
respectively. If you think these figures
look familiar, it’s pretty much
The revolution
in heat pumps
is here now!
The Fujitsu e3series

the same power plant that is fitted
to the range-topping ZB-series
Commodore. The Acadia also gets
the same transmission, it’s a ninespeed
unit that is characterised
by smooth shifts and ratios which
ease the load on the engine so that
respectable fuel economy can be
gleaned.
Because of its size, and weight
(2032kg), the Acadia needs as
much benefit in this department
as it can get. Holden rate it with
a 9.3-litre per 100km (30mpg)
combined cycle rating. By my
reckoning that’s achievable, the
test car was constantly listing
around 10.8l/100km (26mpg),
taking into consideration I did
a lot of around the city driving
which is never conducive to good
economy results.
On the highway the engine
lopes over gently at 1500rpm
at 100km/h in top gear, using
fuel at an instantaneous rate of
7.8l/100km (36mpg).
The Acadia is also a useful offthe-seal
traveller. It lands in both
two-wheel-drive and four-wheeldrive
variants. The test car was the
top spec – LTZ-V, and although
the driveline won’t get to places a
low ratio set-up will take you, the

mechanicals are perfect for low
grip situations such as the skifield
access road, tackling the tracks
leading into those high country
lakes, or taking the boat to the slipway.
For the record, the Acadia has
a 2000kg tow rating and a 203mm
ground clearance figure.
It also travels with compliant
suspension travel. Unlike US
vehicles of the past which have
been quite soft in the suspension,
the Acadia’s spring and damper
rates are definitely biased towards
moderate firming, yet comfort
isn’t compromised.
Pushed into a corner there is
just enough steering feel thanks to
beautiful Continental sport tyres,
and they are big at 235/55 x 20in.
There is a lot of rubber on the
road and that promotes a secure
feeling of attachment.
Power out of a corner is vivid.
The quad-camshaft engine is a
howler, it works through the rev
band freely but you don’t have to
have it singing to the red line to
get performance, the torque curve
is just broad enough so that it
utilises the mid-range.
However, if you like to have it
breathing freely for a highway
overtake for example, it hunts to
the red line willingly, there was
never a point where I thought
the wrong gear was selected, the
way it arranges those nine ratios
is very clever. On the subject of
performance, the Acadia buyer
can expect a standstill to 100km/h
time of around 7.8sec.
As mentioned, the Acadia
lands here in three specification
levels, each with the option of
four-wheel-drive. The entry-level
model lands at $49,990, while the
test car with its high grade trim
and 4WD sits at $71,990. For
that money it is comprehensively

The Acadia makes no pretence
that it is genuinely American, its
styling is designed to capture attention,
and the luxury feel inside
takes me back to the best vehicles
that have come out of the States in
terms of build quality and comfort.
However, the Acadia also gets
the benefit of the down under
input. Prior to its release it was
tested vigorously across the Tasman
for our market. That development

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy weekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting more experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher

The builder realised there was a need for some
quality houses in Rolleston as people were saying
that they wanted to upgrade to the next level
without being on a lifestyle property yet still wanted
to be within walking distance to the local shopping
hub, the aquatic centre, the new park and Rolleston
College. Not all buyers are first home buyers so he
built these stunning properties for those wanting
something that were not the typical cookie cutter
houses that are currently on offer. The auction last
week of the mono pitch designed house went to a
lovely couple who fell in love with the house at the
open home. They recognised quality when they saw
it and purchased 678 at auction leaving the last
two to be secured by astute buyers who also see the
value of living in such a handy location.
670 is 227sqm on a landscaped 651sqm section with
four bedrooms, two bathrooms with gas hot water and
under floor heating, three toilets for convenience and has
a study hub. The kitchen has engineered stone benches,
twin ovens and a walk in pantry which has been plumbed
for a refrigerator. The open plan kitchen- dining -living
area is the hub of the home and there is a separate
lounge room for those escaping to a little peace and
quiet. The separate laundry plus storage area has its own
access to the outdoor utility area and finally a carpeted
double garage with storage cupboard completes this
desirable property.
668 is a specially designed 225sqm home for couples
wanting a modern house with all the bells and whistles
but are only wanting three bedrooms, an open plan living
area and a separate living room which can be closed
off. This one has huge windows and sliders opening
to the outdoor living spaces and the master bedroom
also has a sliding door opening to the private
patio area. An added feature has a dual bathroom
servicing the two bedrooms which is perfect for
when guests arrive. Once again there is a separate
laundry and fully carpeted double garage positioned
on this landscaped 615sqm section.
Both properties are ready to be
purchased now so come to one of the
open homes and have a friendly chat to
either Mary or Rachael on how to secure
one of these new builds for your future
living.

Linking
agricultural
services
Lincoln based Blinc Innovation is setting the scene for
collaborative innovation within the agricultural sector.
An independent organisation, Blinc
Innovation (previously known as the
Lincoln Hub) was formed to act as a pillar
for bringing businesses, farmers, growers
and individuals together to collaborate
across the ecosystem to allow more
cohesion between the various groups, who
often work in isolation. This has led to
more initiatives coming into fruition and
since forming in 2016, Blinc Innovation
has overseen successful projects, as well as
public and private events relating to land
use, nutrients, emissions, agtech and more,
helping future proof the country’s farming
systems.
Blinc Innovation is a neutral connector
and facilitator for agriculture with its home
doubling as a co-working facility with
permanent and flexible tenancy options, as
well as providing meeting rooms and event
space. The Blinc Workshop is a physical
place where collaboration and connection
is encouraged and comes to life.
A broad spectrum of businesses across
agriculture, are represented at Blinc
with university students also able to join
a student programme which utilises
the space and connects with the agri
innovation ecosystem.
“It’s a great way for people to be within
the agricultural community with access
to office, meeting or event facilities,
for a short period or as a long-term
tenancy,” says Victoria Stark, Marketing
and Development Manager at Blinc
Innovation.
An advantage of the Blinc Innovation
centre is the associations and interactions
which have developed. The people
involved learn from each other
with mutual projects often evolving
out of the connections. Events and
activities designed just for tenants,
led by Community Manager Katie
Browning, help develop the co-working
community and create a vibrant working
environment.
A diverse range of people and
businesses use Blinc Innovation
with relationships forming in agricommunity
and projects emerging where
commonality exists.
Blinc
Innovation
has overseen
successful
projects.
Short or longterm
tenancy
is available.
Mutual
projects are
worked on.
