Shock after plaques stolen 

from Springston Cemetery 

• By Anan Zaki 

“I CAN’T fathom why somebody 

would do it.” 

That’s the reaction of Lincoln 

resident Bruce Tweedy who is in 

disbelief over the theft of a bronze 

plaque on his parents’ grave from 

Springston Cemetery. 

The bronze plaque was one of at 

least 40 that were stolen from the 

cemetery between Anzac Day and 

last Thursday. 

Most of the plaques were for 

servicemen in a designated part 

of the cemetery. Metallic plaques 

have been taken from other graves 

in the cemetery. 

Police said they have no leads 

and have asked for public help. 

Mr Tweedy’s father Errol served 

in the Middle East in World War 

2. He has been resting at the 

cemetery since 1998. Mr Tweedy’s 

mother Marion died in 1990 and is 

also buried there. 

“Of all places they chose there. I 

just couldn’t believe it, I was blown 

away,” Mr Tweedy said. 

The thefts have affected the 

Springston community, he said. 

“To think somebody could do 

that, with no feeling when they 

were doing it. These guys fought 

for our country and some of them 

lost their lives.”

SELWYN TIMES 

I’M SURE there’s many in the Lincoln 

Springston areas who would like to get 

their hands on the low lifes who have 

stolen plaques from graves (see page 1). 

Taking the plaques from the cemetery 

can only be described as despicable. 

As Bruce Tweedy, who features in our article says: “I can’t 

fathom why somebody would do it.” 

The plaques would have been taken to sell as scrap metal, 

so let’s hope where ever they turn up the scrap yard has some 

record of who brought them in for sale. 

Punishment: Maybe use the low lifes for Springston and Lincoln 

rugby tackling practice. Bring back the stiff arm head high 

to show younger players what they were once like, I say, 

They’d run a mile.

RURAL DARFIELD residents 

were left feeling frustrated after a 

meeting with the district council 

over sealing a shingle road. 

Wards Rd residents met 

with Mayor Sam Broughton, 

council assets manager Murray 

Washington and district 

councillor Bob Mugford last 

week. The meeting came after 

the Selwyn Times revealed the 

residents’ 17-year battle to seal 

pot-holed Wards Rd between 

Charing Cross and Greendale Rd 

in last week’s edition. 

Resident Grant Prescott said 

little progress was made from 

the meeting, aside from the 

suggestion they put together 

submission for a council 

meeting. 

“I think it’s going to take a 

serious injury or a death on this 

road for them to actually do 

something,” Mr Prescott said. 

“I was a police officer in charge 

of a road traffic policing unit in 

the UK and I’m going to present 

[to the council] on the basis that 

if someone gets killed, it’s too 

late.” 

He served in the North Yorkshire 

police for 20 years. 

Mr Broughton told the Selwyn 

Times, the district council 

understood safety concerns 

from Wards Rd residents, and 

encouraged them to put together 

a submission. 

Unsealed roads make up 45 per 

cent of the road network in the 

district, but only carried 5 per

“The council decided in 

2007 to focus its road spending 

on areas of growth that were 

impacting roads,” Mr Broughton 

said. That remained the policy, 

he said. 

Mr Prescott said it was “only a

gets killed on Wards Rd.

CHANGES: Plastic bags will 

have to go in the red bin 

from July 1. 

Put your 

plastic bags 

in the red bin 

CHANGE IS coming for 

kerbside recycling collection in 

the district, with plastic bags 

given the bin. 

From July 1, plastic shopping 

bags will need to go in the red 

bin – rather than the yellow 

kerbside recycling bin, the district 

council said. 

Council solid waste manager 

Andrew Boyd said the decision 

is a result of the falling number 

of bags, following the decision 

by major supermarkets and the 

Government to phase them out. 

The number of plastic bags 

going into bins in the district has 

been falling since the start of the 

year, Mr Boyd said, matching 

the change around the country. 

Plastics that are marked as 

compostable or biodegradable 

also need to be put into the red 

bin or composted at home. 

Outrage over wastewater funding 


THE UPPER Selwyn Huts 

community is outraged after 

it was made to fund its own 

wastewater system. 

The district council voted last 

Wednesday – ruling that the 

residents would have to pay in 

full for a wastewater scheme, 

when its current scheme expires 

in June 2020. 

The two wastewater options 

proposed by the council would 

cost $2.9 million and $6.2 million. 

Residents advocated they 

should be able to pay for its new 

wastewater scheme through a 

targeted rate, like other parts of 

the district. 

Upper Selwyn Huts resident 

Graham Evans felt the community 

of about 100 households 

near Lake Ellesmere was being 

ignored. 

He and other residents – 

Collin Giddens and Graeme 

Young – presented to the district 

council last week, pleading their 

case for a targeted rate. 

“The decision disgusts three of 

our members,” Mr Evans said. 

“The problem we are concerned 

with is, why are they 

[council] discriminating us from 

being off targeted rating?” 

The district council’s external 

consultation – completed by 

Development Matters – also recommended 

to include the Upper 

Selwyn Huts in the district rating 

scheme. 

But district council chief 

executive David Ward told the 

Selwyn Times that its position to 

decline targeted rates was due to 

climate change. 

He said the Upper Selwyn 

Huts has limited time due to 

climate change and forecast sea 

level rises this century. Therefore, 

the council did not believe it was 

right for ratepayers elsewhere in 

the district to pay for its wastewater 

system. 

“The council’s opinion is that 

there is an issue of fairness in 

asking the entire district to pay 

for a wastewater system at Upper 

Selwyn Huts given the uncertain, 

but clearly limited, time frame 

that any new wastewater system 

would be in use,” Mr Ward said. 

The National Institute of Water 

and Atmospheric Research states 

that by 2050, sea levels will rise 

between 0.15m and 0.3m. 

“We had a flood which took 

the lake [Ellesmere] up to 2.1m 

and we still weren’t under water,” 

Mr Young said. 

He felt the district council is 

“hiding behind” climate change 

to not fund the system. 

Based on the two options tabled 

by the district council, each 

household in the Upper Selwyn 

Huts now faces $30,000 or

system.

$64,500 to pay for a wastewater 

system. 

Mr Young said the residents 

could not afford that. 

They will now work with the 

district council to look at a way 

to reduce the costs of a new 

wastewater system, he said. 

“We’re getting involved to 

make sure the cost is down.” 

Said Mr Ward: “There are a 

range of situations across council 

services where individuals or 

individual communities pay 

directly for the service they 

receive and the council feels it is 

reasonable given the unique situation 

in this case to ask the direct 

beneficiaries of the system to pay 

for it given that situation.”

STOLEN: Bronze 

plaques were also 

stolen from the 

civilian section 

of Springston 

Cemetery.

Bronze stolen from cemetery 

•From page 1 

The district council – 

which manages the cemetery 

– believes it is the first 

time a theft of this nature 

has occurred in the district. 

“Council is co-ordinating 

the replacement of the 

plaques with Veterans Affairs 

and that will be done at no 

cost to the families,” a district 

council spokesman said. 

It is working to get in 

touch with all affected 

families. 

Springs RSA president 

Ivan Norton – who served 

in the Korean War in the 

1950s – said the community 

has been hit hard by 

the thefts. 

“It definitely is an awful 

thing to happen. You don’t 

expect people to interfere 

with a cemetery like that,” 

he said. 

“But I’m afraid that’s the 

sort of people we’ve got 

today,” Mr Norton said. 

He said there was anger 

in the community following 

the thefts. 

“There is no CCTV 

at the cemetery, or any 

other evidence, to enable 

us to identify who might 

be responsible,” the police 

spokeswoman said. 

Mr Tweedy said he has 

little hope in finding the 

bronze plaques. 

“Whether we need to 

look to CCTV cameras 

there now I don’t know. 

I wouldn’t have thought 

we got to that stage in this 

country to have CCTV 

cameras in the bloody 

cemetery.” 

•If anyone has 

information about the 

missing plaques, phone 

police on 378 0160. If 

you have a relative with 

a missing plaque and 

haven’t heard from the 

district council, phone

Green light for Rolleston Limes 


Pat McEvedy 

LIME SCOOTERS will be 

trialled for six months in 

Rolleston once niggling issues 

are worked through. 

District councillors voted 

to allow the trial when Lime 

has worked with council staff 

on issues of speed, costs, geofencing, 

public 

education and 

potential bylaw 

impacts. The 

proposal is to 

introduce 200 

scooters in 

Rolleston. 

Presentation 

and 

debate on the 

shared electric scooter network 

– which lasted more than an 

hour – included accusations of 

predetermination. Councillors 

voted eight to three in favour of 

looking at a trial period. 

A commence date for the 

trial will be known once safety 

and other issues are worked 

through by Lime and district 

council staff. Said Councillor Pat 

McEvedy: “I have major concerns 

around safety. I really do.” 

Lime said its scooters are geofenced 

on its smartphone app 

– meaning it has the ability to 

block users from locking scooters 

and to slow it down. But Lime 

said it cannot stop a scooter from

Cr McEvedy said the geo-fencing 

was “average” and needed 

to be looked at. “I’m not against 

Lime Scooters, I’m against Lime 

Scooters at this time.” 

There was also danger in the 

scooters being ridden on open 

highways, Cr McEvedy said. 

In deputations presented 

to the meeting, Christchurch 

City Councillor Deon Swiggs 

–representing himself – also 

made a submission in favour of 

the scooters. During the debate, 

Councillor Mark Alexander

•Against: Crs McEvedy,

tried to stop Councillor Craig 

Watson from voting on the 

subject due to a Facebook post. 

Cr Watson wrote on Facebook, 

saying: “I want to be very 

clear, I will be voting against 

the staff recommendation 

unless considerable detail is 

presented the council meeting on 

Wednesday.” 

Said Cr Alexander: “A 

councillor has already by his 

public statements indicated that 

he has predetermined his point 

of view on this issue.” 

“He [Cr Watson] should 

be excluded on the basis of 

predetermination.” 

In response to Cr Alexander’s 

allegation, Mayor Sam 

Broughton asked Cr Watson if 

he was present at the meeting 

with an open mind. Cr Watson 

told Mr Broughton that he 

“absolutely” had an open mind. 

Mr Broughton said he was satisfied 

with Cr Watson voting. 

The trial will make Rolleston 

the fifth place in the country to 

allow the scooters.

What’s new 

at 3 Vernon Drive, Lincoln 

Former Mayor Bill 

Woods 

writes 

about 

current 

Mayor 

Sam 

Broughton 

changing 

his tune over whether 

ratepayers should help 

pay for the proposed 

multi-use arena in 

Christchurch 

It was reported in the 

Selwyn Times that Mayor 

Sam Broughton has now 

changed his mind on contributing 

to the stadium, 

due to Christchurch, not 

asking for a donation – 

plus Selwyn people have 

not been consulted. 

Christchurch did not 

have to ask, Sam offered to 

make a donation without 

consultation of Selwyn 

people. 

Need I remind you, that 

when someone offers assistance, 

you are not expected 

to ask. 

A polite refusal, if it is 

not required, is considered 

manners and no refusal 

was given to my knowledge. 

The mayor’s rationalisation 

for making the offer 

was that people of Selwyn 

pay something towards 

the cost, they were free to 

make use of the stadium 

if they chose to, as it is a 

Canterbury asset – not just 

a Christchurch one. 

That has not changed, 

but the approach of the 

mayor has. 

If it hadn’t, he would 

still be of the same view, 

committed to his first 

statement and would 

not fabricate a feeble 

excuse like Christchurch 

did not request any money 

or to consult Selwyn 

people. 

There have been many 

comments that he has 

changed his mind over 

because it is election year 

and his first proposal is not 

popular. 

Surely that cannot be a 

MONEY: 

Former 

Mayor Bill 

Woods 

is critical 

of Sam 

Broughton’s 

change of 

tune over 

stadium 

funds. 

Former mayor criticises 

stadium contribution 

reason for a man of principle? 

Yeah, right! 

The mayor is committed 

to the principle that the 

asset is free for all to make 

use of, not just the locals, 

as it is firmly locked in at 

Selwyn with the new rating 

system, combining all halls 

and reserves regardless of 

location or accessibility, 

with the same value of rate. 

Some towns, with their 

privately owned hall, now 

pay rates that will not be 

used to finance their hall, 

but used for facilities that 

are included in the council 

owned list. 

Under the previous 

system if targeted rating 

existed the rates went to 

that hall not other distant 

ones never used by them. 

So now we have a mayor 

that has the ability to 

change his principles to 

suit the situation.

A reader responds 

to last week’s article 

about the shingle 

section of Wards Rd 

not being sealed 

Linda Griffith - I live 

on Stephens Rd, Leeston 

which is also a shingle 

road albeit short, with 

only six entrances onto the 

road. 

It does carry a fair bit 

of traffic, a lot of which is 

heavy goods or vehicles 

with trailers. 

I drive a small car 

and at the moment the 

road in places is almost 

impassable. 

Okay, maybe if you have 

a large four-wheel-drive, 

but for me and others, that 

is not the case. 

I have contacted the 

council a number of times 

over the last few weeks, I 

even have a job number, 

but that, it seems, is as far 

as its goes. 

I bought the house 

knowing it was on a 

shingle road, but had 

expected the road to 

be kept in a driveable 

condition, which in places 

it certainly is not. 

I pay, as do we all, quite a 

bit in rates. 

We have our own well , 

our own septic tank, have 

to wheel our bin to the end 

of the road for collection, 

no street lights and now an 

almost impassable road. 

What do I pay for is 

schools, libraries and the 

swimming pool all of 

which I am happy to do. 

But please just keep the 

road passable so I am able 

to drive along without 

being shaken to death. 

I am going to the council 

and finding how much 

of my rates go towards 

the roads and I am going 

to withhold that amount 

until I can drive along my 

road without my teeth 

banging together – watch 

this space. 

Bill Woods – Is our 

council for real with its 

policy on seal extensions? 

One can only say 

the council members 

are away with the fairies 

and should resign if 

they approve of such an 

unbelievable policy for seal 

extensions. 

To demand that the 

residents pay the whole 

cost of the road sealing 

and the maintenance for 

the next 10 years is beyond 

comprehension, requiring 

serious questioning of 

those who supported this 

policy to hold a position of 

an elected member. 

Thank goodness it is 

election year. 

We just might be able to 

correct this situation.

Catholic church ready to reopen 

THE CATHOLIC Parish of 

Lincoln is holding an open day 

to look through its new “longawaited” 

church on Gerald St, 

Lincoln. 

The event will be held on May 

26. Parishioners will be available 

on the day to meet and greet all 

who visit the new church, which 

cost about $3 million to rebuild. 

The sod was turned on June 20 

last year, and now more than 10 

months later, the church is “so 

looking forward” to the opening, 

St Patrick’s Parish Pastoral 

Council chairwoman Patricia 

Smith said. 

It seats 200 people and features 

an internal timber structure and 

exterior cedar timber cladding. 

Damage from the 2010 and 

2011 Canterbury earthquakes 

meant the original church – built 

in 1957 – had to be demolished. 

Since demolition eight years 

ago, Catholic church-goers in 

the area have been hosted by the 

Anglican community. 

“The Catholic community 

has been truly grateful to the 

generosity and hospitality of Rev 

Mark Barlow and the Anglican 

community for the use of their 

churches at Lincoln, Springston 

and Rolleston over the past eight 

years,” Mrs Smith said. 

All Catholic churches are kept

open during the day for people 

to come and visit the Blessed 

Sacrament and pray therefore, St 

Patrick’s Church will be open for 

anyone to come and spend quiet 

time in prayer and reflection 

from May 26 onwards, Mrs 

Smith said.

Top three finishes for Selwyn ploughers 

STRONG: Retired Lincoln farmer John Stalker finished third in 

the vintage tractor plough. 


TWO PLOUGHERS from 

the district achieved top three 

finishes in the New Zealand 

Ploughing Championships over 

the weekend. 

Courtney farmer Ashley 

Seaton came second in the 

reversible plough and retired 

Lincoln farmer John Stalker 

finished third in the vintage 

tractor plough. 

Meanwhile in the silver 

plough, Kirwee farmers Simon 

Reed and Jeff Cridge finished 

fourth and fifth respectively. 

The competition was held 

at the Wilkinson’s Farm in 

Chertsey. 

The event was hosted by 

the Rakaia Ploughing Match 

Association. 

President John Davison said 

match ploughing as a sport dates 

back to the 19th century. 

“When it started there were 

only horses ploughing and 

the last of them [horses] 

ploughed competitively in the 

late 1940s or early 1950s,” Mr 

Davison said. 

But popularity in clydesdale 

horses has marked a return in 

horse ploughing, he said. 

Winners from the ploughing 

championships qualifies for 

the global event in Russia next 

year.

After that, his skills will take 

him to Scotland in August 

to compete in under-18 

and under-23 age groups of 

competition in Oban and 

Inverness. 

Campbell said he is “very excited” 

to return to Scotland. 

He has been once before 

when he competed with the

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

Change in nap time 

FOR THE last week or so, I’ve lost 

the dream. Vittoria only has one 

short nap a day now. 

Gone are the days of regular 

quiet coffee breaks or enjoying 

lunch without the world’s cutest 

magpie lurking about. 

She now crashes out just before 

her lunch time and sleeps for, at 

max, 40min. 

She then runs out into the lounge 

to laugh at me while I try and gulp 

down my remaining food before 

she scabs it off me. Truly adorable. 

The flip side of this is that she 

is incredibly easy to get down at 

bedtime. Like “in-a-deep-sleepbefore-you-even 

take-her-to-thebedroom” 

easy. 

As I write this she is deeply and 

peacefully asleep and got that way 

almost instantly after finishing her 

bottle at 5.30pm. 

She’ll likely even sleep until the 

same time as she normally does. 

Or at least quietly sit up and chat to 

herself until the time she normally 

gets up. 

On Tuesday morning she woke 

me up by gently touching my nose 

at 5am (yeah, cot thing is still not 

going great), then lay back down 

until 6.30am. 

Boom, practically a sleep-in. 

But even a sleep-in doesn’t quite 

make transitioning to a one short 

nap reality any easier. That’s over an 

hour of extra toddler entertaining/ 

wrangling each day. With increasingly 

poor weather. 

On that note, we’re going on a 

family holiday to the West Coast. 

You know, because it rains there 

a lot. Unless you prepare for rain, 

in which case it will be the perfect 

sunny day. 

If we successfully make it 

through the trip over the Southern 

Alps with a toddler, we’ll be spending 

a couple of days . . . no, hold on. 

Vittoria just ran head first into 

the lounge crying and looking for a 

cuddle because she definitely went 

to bed way too early because her 

one and only nap was in the car 

today. So cute. 

Hold up. Cool, she’s back in bed. 

So the trip . . . no, she’s back and is 

just standing in the corner chatting. 

I’ve got to get her back into bed 

or I’ll be up all night. 

And she’s back. 

I’ll fill you in all about the trip 

next week.

Meat found on vegan pizza 

• By Katie Harris 

DOMINO’S PIZZA has 

apologised for meat on a vegan 

pizza from its Rolleston store. 

Kate Williams ordered two 

vegan pizzas from Domino’s 

Rolleston, but when they arrived, 

she and her husband discovered 

what looked like several pieces of 

meat on both of the pizzas. 

“I noticed the first piece of 

meat sitting out in the open, 

then two more that were easily 

discernible. I grabbed a fork and 

checked under the bits of mushroom 

and spinach, and realised 

that there were at least seven 

pieces on just the one pizza,” 

she said. The pair returned to 

the store, where a staff member 

apologised and they were offered 

a replacement pizza and a dessert, 

which was also not vegan. 

Mrs Williams said she and her 

husband were shocked that the 

meat was added to their pizza 

topping and no one in the store 

noticed. 

“I find it very hard to reconcile 

that someone could miss that 

much meat being accidentally 

added while preparing a vegan 

pizza,” she said. 

Though they had not eaten 

the meat, she said it was hard 

handling “pieces of flesh.” 

Mrs Williams posted her 

experience on the Vegans of 

DISCOVERY: Meat was found on a vegan pizza from Rolleston 

Domino’s. 

Aotearoa New Zealand Facebook 

page and her story got more than 

70 comments and 78 reactions. 

The experience made Mrs 

Williams and her husband, who 

are committed vegans, question 

going to non-vegan restaurants 

for fear of cross-contamination 

or this happening again. 

“I would still like to support 

non-vegan establishments who 

are now providing vegan options, 

but if they cannot be bothered 

to ensure a reasonable level of 

care and knowledge by their staff 

when preparing this, then they 

should not be offering them,” she 

said. 

A spokesperson from 

Domino’s New Zealand 

said it had clearly let its 

customers down, which was 

disappointing. 

“We pride ourselves on 

offering our vegan customers 

choice, something we are very 

passionate about.” 

The spokesperson said 

Domino’s has strict food 

handling processes and will be 

educating and retraining the staff 

members involved.

Accidents happen every day. 

Advertising Feature 

Whilst it may seem like the 

only people who will need the 

Westpac Rescue Helicopter are 

adrenaline junkies or tampers, 

hiking in some remote part of 

New Zealand, thousands of kiwis 

every year discover that Chopper 

Country is closer than they may 

think. 

7,225 kiwis, to be exact, were 

rescued last year across New 

Zealand. The Westpac Rescue 

Helicopter responded to broken 

legs at favourite picnic spots, 

motor vehicle accidents on the 

road to the bach, and medical 

incidents in the home. 

It was at home, around 5am, 

that 13-year-old Jazmin stopped 

breathing after a severe asthma 

attack had rendered her 

unconscious and convulsing. 

The alarm was raised and, while 

her step-father performed CPR, 

the Westpac Rescue Helicopter 

was dispatched. Although she 

doesn’t recall the helicopter ride, 

she is forever grateful for the 

rescue team’s swift response. 

Jazmin tells us, “I probably 

wouldn’t be here to play with 

my younger sister if the rescue 

helicopter didn’t come to help 

me.” 

In Selwyn, the rescue helicopter 

responded to 71 emergency 

callouts in 2018, the majority 

of these responding to motor 

vehicle accidents, transporting 

critically ill patients to 

Christchurch Hospital for 

specialist care. “Canterbury’s 

Westpac Rescue Helicopter is 

the lifeline to Selwyn and the 

surrounding rural communities 

and the helicopter must be 

equipped and ready to respond 

24/7 365 days a year. It’s our rural 

communities like you who truly 

understand the value of the rescue 

helicopter,” says Rick Knight, Crew 

Chief of the Westpac Rescue 

Helicopter.

is asking for your support. “Please 

help this appeal so we can all 

go on living life to the full, it’s

each other, our family and our

Fellowship programme 

Rolleston town centre upgrade – 

the promenade 

As part of the Rolleston town centre upgrade, a promenade is 

proposed which will encourage walking and cycling. 

A main promenade is proposed to run between the Tennyson 

Street entrance and the Wordsworth Street extension. A detailed 

design of the promenade as well as for the rest of the town centre 

development, is now available for the public to view. For more 

information and to have your say, go to selwyn.govt.nz/rtc-design. 

Pedestrians will enjoy a leisurely walk through landscaped gardens, 

comfortable seating areas, grassy ‘urban islands’, outdoor kids’ 

educational zones as well as a vegetable garden. 

The promenade provides the transition between the town centre/ 

square and the reserve. This will be an attractive link for pedestrians 

and cyclists as they travel in to both of these areas. The promenade 

is intended to be used as a shared-space environment where 

pedestrians, cyclists and service or emergency motor vehicles can 

move at slow speed. 

Some proposed key features of the promenade include flexible 

spaces for sitting, playing music, enjoying a coffee or reading. It will 

have variable width to encourage a wide range of activities. There is a 

minimum width of 4m throughout, with additional paved zone adjacent 

to the town square and Te Ara Ātea Library and Community Centre. 

Selwyn District Council is offering an opportunity to spend a month in China travelling, learning 

and meeting people from around the world. 

Applications have opened for the Gansu Sister Cities Fellowship programme. Each year the 

Gansu Provincial Government hosts delegates from their sister cities, including Selwyn and 

Christchurch, with the aim of promoting mutual understanding and fellowship. Based in the city 

of Lanzhou from 20 August to 20 September, delegates will have the opportunity to travel and to 

study Chinese history, culture, political system, tourism, technology and economic development, 

plus agriculture and sister city works. 

Applicants must be between 22 and 50 years of age and live or work in Selwyn. The Gansu 

Fellowship programme pays for international air fares, accommodation and local transport plus an 

allowance. Delegates pay for their own food, travel insurance, medical expenses and internet. 

To apply email Bernadette.Ryan@selwyn.govt.nz. Applications close on Friday 31 May 2019 at 

9am. Interviews will be held on Tuesday 4 June. 

Citizenship ceremony welcomes newcomers 

A love story was at the heart of the journey for some of the country’s newest citizens. 

A group of 23 people from eight different nationalities became New Zealand citizens at the citizenship 

ceremony held at the Council last week. Many of the new citizens spoke about falling in love with New 

Zealand and three new citizens spoke of joining partners or falling in love here. 

Among them was Giovanni Tubo, who moved from the Philippines in 2012 to be closer to his now wife, 

who moved here in 2007. The pair, who work at Christchurch Hospital, met while studying nursing 

together in the Philippines and now live in Rolleston. 

“We found New Zealand a really good place for welcoming other nationalities. We heard this 

[Rolleston] was a great place to build and the community is really good and we love the place—it’s a 

really good place here.” 

It was also a special day for Brett and Anna-Jean Gravett, with the ceremony falling on Mr Gravett’s 

birthday. “When I saw the day I couldn’t believe it,” he says. 

Mayor Sam Broughton led the room in singing Happy Birthday as Mr Gravett came up to take the oath 

of allegiance. 

Mrs Gravett said the couple, from South Africa, fell in love with New Zealand on a holiday here. They 

seized the chance to move when Mr Gravett was offered a job working on the earthquake rebuild and 

have travelled every corner of the country apart from the Chatham Islands, she says. 

For the first time each new citizen was given their own small New Zealand flag to mark the day. 

ON THE

Winter’s almost here – how 

healthy is your home? 

With much colder weather on the way, now is an important time to 

plan how to keep your home dry and healthy over the winter months. 

Ventilation is key to preventing moisture building up inside a home 

during winter. During this time homes are often locked up all day 

and night, trapping moisture from cooking, showers and from 

occupants breathing. 

Council Building manager Vanessa Mitchell says the best way to 

ventilate your home is to open up all windows and doors for about 

half an hour when you get home from work. 

“Aim to have cross-ventilation by opening doors and windows on 

the opposite sides of your home for maximum benefit. While it 

may seem a bit cold while you do this, the benefits are huge – your 

home will be drier and warmer and you will be surprised by how any 

thermal gain stored throughout the day in concrete floors is not lost 

by doing this,” she says. 

As it gets colder, unwanted guests such as insects and rodents may 

also be looking for somewhere warm to live. 

Checking the perimeter of your house to ensure any potential 

entry points are blocked is important, Mrs Mitchell says. “With 

brick veneer cladding weep holes in brick work are required for 

drainage of the cavity, so do not block these. If they appear to 

be wide enough for a mouse to get in, wire mesh can be formed 

and secured in the weep hole to prevent vermin entry, while still 

allowing for ventilation and drainage.” 

It’s also a good idea to check weep holes are not blocked and clear 

out any dirt or debris. 

Winter tips: 

Did your plumbing pipes freeze last winter? Now is a good 

time to add additional insulation around and over pipework, 

particularly in your ceiling space, to ensure your water keeps 

flowing this winter. Make sure new insulation has at least a 

25mm gap between the top of the insulation and the underside 

of the roofing, to prevent moisture issues from condensation on 

the underside of the metal roofing. 

Do you have a log burner in your home? There is still time 

to get your chimney cleaned to ensure your burner operates 

cleanly and efficiently during winter, and to prevent chimney 

fires. Pellet fires, gas fires, boilers, and multi-fuel burners/fires 

also need maintenance, so check with the manufacturer to 

know the specific requirements.

Selwyn District Council has agreed to trial Lime Scooters in Rolleston once safety concerns and other 

issues have been addressed. 

The Council has agreed to a six month trial, but only once staff and Lime Scooters have worked through 

issues around where the scooters will be able to travel and how fast, as well as public education, costs 

and legal requirements under the Council’s bylaws. 

The proposal by Lime is to introduce 200 scooters to the Rolleston town area. It would make Rolleston 

the fifth place in New Zealand and the first rural town to allow the scooters. 

Mayor Sam Broughton says the decision 

fits well with the district’s forward thinking 

attitude, while being realistic about the 

concerns. “We’re an active community that 

likes to have fun, to look to the future and 

give things a go and trialing Lime scooters is 

a part of that. I’m looking forward to taking 

one out for a spin and seeing whether they’re 

something that works to benefit Rolleston and 

the district.” 

Some of the attractions of the scooters, he 

says, include ease of use, particularly for 

people who don’t drive, sustainability and fun. 

However, concerns were also raised about 

people taking the scooters on roads with 

higher speed limits and pedestrian safety on 

narrow footpaths. 

The Council agreed that Lime and Council 

staff would work together to address these 

concerns before the trial could go ahead.

SELWYN TIMES 

Dodging the rough, bunkers and coffins 

• By Jacob Page 

WEDNESDAY’S at the nine-hole 

Lincoln Golf Club sees players 

dodge more than just bunkers 

and the rough: They are dodging 

coffins as well. 

Each week, with the backdrop 

of Lincoln Cemetery, at least 50 

golfers ranging in age from 60 to 

92 take part in the Wednesday’s 

Whackers or as it is dubbed over 

a drink on the 19th hole - Coffin 

Dodgers Wednesday. 

It is an 18-hole stableford 

competition, with the best score 

in each group often earning a 

free ticket into the $2 meat raffle 

drawn at the end of the day. 

While friendship and banter 

are the driving force behind 

the initiative, make no mistake, 

many are out there trying to 

shoot under their age. 

Bill Campbell has been a 

regular Wednesday Whacker for 

more years than he can remember. 

“I’m a broken-down brick-layer, 

you know? The body is rooted, 

but I love the game,” he said. 

Campbell, who has been a 

member of the club since 1969, 

said it was the banter after each 

round which kept him coming 

back. 

“The chat is the guts of the 

whole day and the highlight of 

my whole week. 

“If it’s a nice day, we sit there 

and talk s**t and it’s wonderful. 

“With Lincoln golf course 

played around a cemetery, we 

thought we often poke fun at 

ourselves and say we’re all Coffin 

Dodgers.” 

Campbell describes himself as 

“a baby in the group” at 77-yearsold. 

“Dave Donald (father of the late 

former Green Party leader Rod 

Donald), is 91 and he plays every 

week. 

“Ed Henderson is 87 and he 

comes out each week and he 

shoots under his age almost every 

time he plays. 

“As I say to him, each year he 

gets older, it’s getting easier for 

him because he gets an extra 

shot. 

“I shot under my age for the 

first time six weeks ago and that’s 

where the competitive nature 

begins and ends,” he said. 

“People want to score low for 

themselves.” 

Life member Morrie Henderson, 

81, is the designated barman 

each Wednesday and said it has 

grown from humble beginnings 

in the late 80s to early 90s. 

“We had the Selwyn veterans 

who met on a Thursday once a 

month and the thing was you 

could only join when you turned 

60 and you had to put your name 

down at 55 to be eligible because 

there was so many people playing,” 

he said. 

“So a few people started playing 

on a Wednesday and what 

was half a dozen has, over time 

become 50 people. 

Henderson said he had been 

a member for 53 years and is a 

proud Coffin Dodger. 

“Above the bar, there’s a row of 

photos with life members on it 

and of course there’s only three of 

us left now I think and I believe 

that’s where the name Coffin 

Dodgers took off from – there’s 

no respect whatsoever,” he said. 

“Back in my early days if you 

were 60, you dressed old, you 

looked old, you were old but 

these days if you retired at 60 

SPORT 

PUTT: Norm Stokes, 80 and 

Tom Scahill, 92, are part of

at Lincoln, which is played 

around the cemetery. 

you’re doing well.” Henderson 

said it allowed people to stay active 

and give wives a well-earned 

break from their husbands. 

“The important thing isn’t the 

game, the important thing is that 

you’re able to walk on the right 

side of the turf so enjoy it while 

you can. 

“If I only play a round a week, 

I’d rather play on a Wednesday, 

than a club day on a Saturday 

because it is less competitive. 

“Still, if you ending winning 

the raffle, there can be hell to 

pay,” he said.

Six Ellesmere teams in Combined Country 


THERE WILL be six Ellesmere 

teams playing in the Combined 

Country rugby quarter-finals on 

Saturday. 

Lincoln, Springston, Waihora, 

Prebbleton, Darfield and 

Burnham-Dunsandel Irwell 

will all be part of the play-offs 

but the top two qualifiers, 

Glenmark-Cheviot and 

Southern loom as genuine title 

contenders. 

The final round-robin 

weekend, went largely with 

the form guide with Waihora 

doing themselves a favour while 

making Darfield’s play-off road 

more challenging. 

Waihora co-coach Joff 

Mooar said with four teams 

coming from his team’s pool A 

competitors, it promised to be an 

intriguing play-offs. 

“That was a big win over 

Darfield for us, the boys were up 

for it since it was our club day.” 

He said their quarter-final 

away at Springston will be one 

he and the team were looking 

forward too. 

“They have an excellent 

forward pack, strong leadership 

and their backs like to have a 

run,” he said. 

“Given that four of the eight 

play-off teams came from our 

pool, we feel very well prepared 

for the game.” 

Unbeaten top qualifiers 

Glenmark-Cheviot eased past 

Rolleston 53-0 and will face 

the eighth seed BDI after they 

earned a bonus point 45-15 win 

over Ashley. 


LINCOLN Combined have 

a chance to build some 

momentum this Saturday 

against lowly Aoraki Combined, 

after a confidence-boosting 38-3 

win over Shirley Boys’ High 

School, last Saturday. 

After losing their opening 

UC Championship fixture 15-0 

to Rangiora High School, a 

fortnight ago, a more composed 

Lincoln Combined effort them 

earn a crucial bonus point win. 

Coach Tom Hooper said he 

No 2 seeds Southern earned 

a home quarter-final against 

seventh-ranked Darfield who 

barely fired a shot in losing to 

defending champions 

Harry Kirk scored 14 points 

for Waihora in their victory. 

The good news for Darfield is 

they are the only team to beat 

Southern this season. 

Lincoln beat Celtic 29-14 to 

secure the third seed and a 

home quarter-final with 

Prebbleton whose late season 

form got them past Oxford 22-21 

to sneak into the quarter finals 

in sixth place. 

Prebbleton beat Lincoln at 

home in their centenary fixture 

but will now have to repeat the 

feat at Lincoln. 

Fourth place Springston 

showed their debut season last 

year was no fluke as they earned 

the fourth seed with a 47-13 win 

over West Melton and a home 

quarter-final against a resurgent 

Waihora. 

Southbridge left their run a 

little too late. In spite of a 31-17 

win over Rakaia, they finished 

ninth and in the second-tier 

Canterbury Rugby Supporters’ 

Club Trophy for ninth to 12th 

place. 

Hornby missed a last-gasp

composure and discipline from 

his side – two areas that let them 

down against Rangiora.

he said. 

“We tackled well again but we

Lincoln Combined lead 21-3 at 

the break and did not let-up. 

Hooper praised the effectiveness 

of the line-outs and the 

work of locks Jonathan Allan 

and Blake Evans.

Flying start propels University to big win over Belfast 

Jim Doyle reports on 

Lincoln University’s 

match against Belfast on 

Saturday 

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY 

got back on track in the metro 

premier rugby competition 

with a 50-17 win over Belfast at 

Lincoln on Saturday. 

What a difference a start 

makes. The Rams had Jesse 

Houston across twice inside 

the first 6min and led 38-3 at 

half-time. They hit the 50-point 

mark before the end of the third 

quarter. 

Belfast scored two converted 

tries in the last quarter but that 

was water off a duck’s back to the 

Rams, unlike the previous week 

against Sumner. 

The visitors weren’t a bad side. 

They had an outstanding No. 8 

in Amenatave Tukana, whose 

brother Lekima was almost as 

good from lock, and a useful 

No. 6 in Toafa Touli. Tevita 

Eukaliti wasn’t half bad at centre 

either. 

But this time the Rams weren’t 

about to be caught with their 

pants down. They had both Ere 

Enari (for 55min) and Brett 

Cameron (for 65min) plus Sam 

Gilbert, back from New Zealand 

under-20 duties in Australia, for 

20min. 

Gilbert was not long on the 

park when he raced across for 

two tries in quick succession. 

He had work to do for both but 

brushed off the last defenders 

with ease. 

It was nice to see Rameka

through off a slick Cameron pass

and he made other sharp breaks 

as well. 

Kale Thatcher made a good 

fist of the No. 8 duties including 

some crunching tackles. He 

was a bit unlucky to be penalised 

twice for deliberate knock-ons 

when he was putting big 

pressure on Belfast, with no 

cynical intent. 

Antonio Shalfoon was back 

to bolster the lineout and the 

second row of the scrum, which 

held up well. He made a fine

up a driving maul which led to

100 caps for Prebbleton footballer 

• By Gordon Findlater 

PREBBLETON’S Tom Stewards 

accomplished the rare feat of 

bringing up 100 games for St 

Thomas of Canterbury College’s 

first XI last week. 

The occasion was made 

even sweeter for the holding 

midfielder who scored a 

hat-trick in his side’s 8-0 

victory over rivals St Bede’s 

College in the Connetics premier 

first XI secondary school 

competition. 

Following the game he was 

presented a plaque and trophy to 

mark the occasion by principal 

Steve Hart. 

“It was a pretty special 

occasion . . . It was an extra 

incentive to have a good game, 

so I was happy to end up scoring 

a hat-trick,” said Stewart. 

The St Thomas’ captain 

became just the third player to 

bring up 100 caps for the first XI, 

following in the footsteps 

of Mike Killick and Andy 

Steel. 

Killick was on hand to witness 

Stewart’s milestone, due to being 

the referee for the match. 

Stewart will become the most 

capped player in the school’s 

history if he can pass the 115 

game tally currently held by 

Steel – who is currently the 

chairman of the school’s board 

of trustees. 

“He’s a very mature and aware 

player, he does a lot of stuff to 

work on his game in his own 

time and builds up confidence 

in the guys around him,” said St 

Thomas’ coach Jacob Allen. 

The biggest highlight during 

Stewart’s 100-game career 

came last year when St Thomas 

defeated Burnside 2-1 in the 

Connetics first XI final. 

“It was amazing, we had the 

whole school chanting our name 

and when the final whistle went 

they all ran onto the pitch, it was 

a sea of blue,” Stewart said. 

MILESTONE: 

Tom Stewart has 

become just the 

third player in St 

Thomas history to 

play 100 games 

for the first XI. 

Stewart – who plays club 

football for Selwyn United – 

was also part of the St Thomas 

futsal team which won the New 

Zealand secondary schools futsal 

championships in Wellington in 

March. 

SPORT 

In year 8, he scored the 

winning goal for his St Thomas 

team at the Koru Games against 

Rolleston School. 

The same year he made his 

first XI debut at just 12 against St 

Kevin’s College from Oamaru – 

a match he also scored in. 

Last year he was part of the 

New Zealand Secondary Schools 

team which toured the United 

States. 

He hopes he may become 

more familiar with the US in the 

coming years with the goal of 

earning a football scholarship to 

play at a college next year. 

Before then he hopes to 

replicate a run like St Thomas 

achieved at the 2017 national 

secondary school tournament 

where they finished fourth. 

With potentially 20 to 25 

games expected to be played this 

year he stands a good chance 

of becoming St Thomas’ most 

capped player, if he can stay 

fit. 

St Thomas have won the 

opening two rounds of 

this year’s Connetics premier 

first XI secondary school 

competition. They face 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

at English Park at 5.10pm today.

Three team relegation battle looms 


LINCOLN A earned a crucial 

bonus point after pushing last 

year’s beaten finalists Broadfield 

A in week two of the Selwyn 

premier netball competition on 

Saturday. 

Broadfield eventually prevailed 

50-45 but the youthful Lincoln A 

may look back later and be grateful 

for their bonus point which 

they earned for losing by a five 

goal margin. 

With the netball season split 

into three five-week rounds, the 

first two rounds see the bottom 

team demoted and replaced with 

the top second division team. 

The third round sees a champion 

crowned. 

The schedule means the top 

teams play the first two rounds 

looking to improve combinations 

while the rest battle to keep their 

premier status. 

After two weeks there appears 

to be a top three and bottom 

three emerging. Broadfield A, 

Greenpark A and Greenpark B 

are undefeated while Lincoln A, 

Southbridge A and Prebbleton A 

are yet to record a win. 

In the other two fixtures on 

Saturday; defending champions 

Greenpark A cruised past Southbridge 

A 73-46 and Greenpark B 

LINCOLN’S JACOB 

Douglas was quick but 

ultimately unlucky at the 

opening round of the FIA 

Karting Academy Trophy 

Series at Wackersdorf, 

Germany. 

The 13-year-old former 

two-time New Zealand 

Vortex Mini ROK class 

champion qualified in 

ninth place out of a field 

of 51 for the 

final but 

crashed out 

of that race 

on only the 

second lap 

when hit 

by another 

competitor. 

“It was 

an unfortunate way to 

end what was looking like 

being a standout weekend,” 

said KartSport New 

Zealand academy coach 

Tiffany Hamilton, who 

travelled to Germany with 

Douglas. 

“Jacob had the pace 

to move up in the dry 

as he had shown with 

top three fastest times 

in free practice but got 

turned around by another 

competitor as he overtook 

them at turn four on lap 

two of final. Obviously, 

Jacob was disappointed, 

because he was looking 

forward to having the extra 

track time to show his true 

pace.” 

The lack of track time, 

particularly when it 

rained, was an issue for a 

produced a solid but unspectacular 

effort to defeat Prebbleton A 

54-37. 

Greenpark A coach Zaylie Sullivan 

said her team played with 

freedom and it showed at both 

ends of the court. 

“I thought our attack end 

started really strongly and then 

the second half our defence really 

came in to its own and we put 

them under a lot of pressure,” she 

said. 

Southbridge A coach Sarah 

Ormandy said her team struggled 

to counter Greenpark A’s 

height throughout the court and 

got precious little turnover ball. 

“They played a very good game 

and we didn’t adjust to what they 

were doing against us as well as I 

would have liked,” she said. 

Greenpark B player/coach 

Mechelle Barltrop said her team 

should have won by more than 

17 goals against Prebbleton A but 

they lost momentum in the middle 

and attacking thirds of the 

court at times. 

”It wasn’t our most polished 

performance,” she said. 

”I thought we threw away far 

too much ball and that contributed 

to our issues.” 

She praised defender Jessica 

McEwen was a standout once 

again. 

driver who had to fly in 

from so far away without 

the benefit of any prior 

practice. 

Though Jacob was 

quickly on the pace in the 

dry in practice on Friday, 

setting the sixth quickest 

time in his group in the 

second session and the 

second quickest time in the 

third. 

So close was the field in 

their identical karts, the 

51.491sec lap time which 

earned Jacob the 21st 

quickest lap time on Friday 

was just 0.267sec off pole 

position. 

He then stepped up a 

notch through Saturday’s 

qualifying heat races, with 

a ninth in the first, then 

In week three there is a replay 

of last year’s final between Broadfield 

A and Greenpark A while 

Lincoln A and Prebbleton A will 

face each other looking for their 

first win to ease their relegation 

worries and Southbridge face 

yet another tough assignment 

when they take on the in-form 

Greenpark B. 

Week two results: 

Broadfield A 50, Lincoln A 

45; Greenpark A 73, Southbridge 

A 46; Greenpark B 54, 

Prebbleton A 37. 

Points: 

Greenpark A 8, Greenpark

seventh in the next two. 

With a 10th in the final 

qualifying heat race on 

Sunday morning that 

earned him his top-10 spot 

in the final, was a result 

which Hamilton says was 

as good an indication as 

any of how the weekend 

went. 

In spite of the crash in 

the final, Jacob’s good work 

earlier in the weekend 

meant that he is still 17th 

overall (out of 50) in the 

trophy rankings after the 

first round. The second

Farm access for 

duck hunters a 

privilege 

Federated Farmers reminds duck 

hunters heading out for the duck-shooting 

season that access to farms is a privilege. 

The ‘Opening Day’ of the duck-shooting 

season on May 4 2019 was a big deal in 

rural New Zealand, with 40,000 annual 

participants across the country. Hunters 

pay Fish and Game for a duck shooting 

licence but access is usually reliant on the 

goodwill of local farmers. 

Many hunters find themselves beside a 

wetland built and maintained on private 

farmland. Many of these arrangements are 

several generations old, established on a 

handshake. 

“Farmers and visiting hunters alike look 

forward to the opening weekend of the 

duck-shooting season,’’ says Federated 

Farmers Environment spokesperson Chris 

Allen. 

“But access on to farms comes with 

responsibilities for both hunter and 

farmer. Farms are businesses, homes 

and places of recreation, and we ask that 

people recognise this when they head out 

for a shot this weekend.’’ 

Health and safety around firearms, 

water and vehicles remains the number 

one consideration but there are other 

things for hunters to think about as well. 

Biosecurity is essential on farms, 

and with serious new threats such 

as Mycoplasma Bovis, hunters need 

to ask landowners about any special 

requirements, particularly when driving 

between different properties. For sheep 

farmers, sheep measles is a big concern, 

and all dogs must be dosed for worms 

at least 48 hours before going on to 

farmland. 

“The basics of rural etiquette such as 

leaving gates as you find them, controlling 

dogs and not disturbing stock remain the 

same,” says Chris. “Remember that fewer 

and fewer people come from a farming 

back ground, and what was once rural 

common sense may no longer be known 

by all farm visitors,” says Chris.

Barking exhaust 

defines cabriolet 

I’M accelerating hard up 

a quiet piece of country 

road – first gear, second, 

third and fourth, using the 

paddle shifters to extract 

maximum speed through 

the gears. 

I have the convertible 

roof down, and my son’s 

long hair is blowing freely 

in the breeze, we are both 

enjoying the sound of a 

wailing V6 engine up front 

and loud exhaust bark out 

the rear as the gears shift. 

The next thing I hear is 

a siren-like sound and I 

see flashing lights in my 

rear view mirror. No, I 

haven’t been caught by the 

law for speeding, instead 

I’ve activated an alarm 

on a stationary car we 

just passed, quite clearly 

its motion sensors were 

disturbed by the backfire 

from the evaluation 

car’s exhaust as the gears 

changed. 

The car I was driving 

was Mercedes-Benz’s C43 

AMG cabriolet, a car which 

has definite sound and 

robust performance. As 

mentioned it has a 3-litre 

V6 engine which has 

healthy acceleration thanks 

to the boost from twin 

turbochargers. 

Maximum power is 

rated at a feisty 287kW 

with a fabulous 520Nm 

of torque, such are the 

outputs there is a constantly 

vibrant feel from beneath 

the accelerator, it is strong 

and wilful and, of course, 

there are many drive modes 

available at the push of a 

button. You can dial in the 

type of drive you would like 

to experience – feisty or 

frugal. 

Each set-up is conclusive, 

there is a definite structure 

from within each mode, 

and they can also be tailormade 

to suit any driving 

preference. I particularly like 

the first sport setting, the 

engine is not overly frenetic, 

but it is a compromise 

between the more gentle 

comfort mode and the fullon 

Sport plus setting. 

With all of these options 

there’s little denying 

that the C43 has strong 

performance potential. 

Mercedes-Benz claims a 

standstill to 100km/h time 

of 4.8sec, and when the 

engine is working hard it is 

enjoying its work, while it 

is raucous it’s not a strained 

MERCEDES-BENZ C43 CABRIOLET: Tempting to 

drive quickly. 

sound, I simply love it, 

especially the bark on up 

and downshifts. 

During my time in 

the evaluation car I was 

constantly blipping the 

throttle just to hear the 

engine, that being the case 

it wouldn’t be fair to publish 

my fuel usage figures. 

• Price – Mercedes- 

Benz C43 cabriolet, 

$141,400 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4686mm; 

width, 1810mm; 

height, 1409mm

2996cc, 287kW, 

520Nm, nine-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.8sec 

• Fuel usage –

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

However, Mercedes-Benz 

claims a 10-litre per 100km 

(28mpg) combined cycle 

rating that I would suggest 

is easily possible given 

the fuel usage meter was 

listing a 7l/100km (40mpg) 

instantaneous figure sitting at 

a steady 100km/h, the engine 

turning over at just 1500rpm. 

The C43 cabriolet is 

very much a driver’s car, it 

is biased towards sporty, 

and it makes no excuse for 

that. Alongside the engine 

management protocols, the 

driver can also manipulate 

suspension alterations

spring and damper rates 

can be firmed considerably 

to enhance cornering

performance. 

Twisty, open roads 

are not easy to come 

by in Canterbury, but 

I discovered some new 

corners just west of 

Darfield that I hadn’t 

previously used. The C43 

has a low centre of gravity, 

and in sport suspension 

mode it simply powers 

through the corners flat 

and controlled. 

There is strong steering 

feel thanks to beautiful 

sport specification, 19in 

Dunlop tyres, turn-in is 

direct and accuracy never 

threatened. 

Of course, the C43 

with 4Matic drives through 

a nine-speed automatic 

gearbox to all wheels, 

and that promotes a safe, 

decisive handling balance. 

While there are two 

rear seats, effectively the 

C-Class cabriolet is just a 

2+2, unless you are childsize 

you aren’t going to be 

comfortable in the rear. 

While in that regard it is a 

selfish car, those upfront 

have wonderful comfort and 

can benefit from the high 

degree of specification and 

the amazing way Mercedes- 

Benz creates the ergonomics 

that feel just so right. 

I guess at $141,400 the 

company would need to 

get that right. In my 

opinion, that is certainly 

the case. It’s fair to say I’m 

not a big convertible fan, 

but the C43 won me over 

with its build quality, level 

of specification, along with 

its substantial performance. 

There’s no secret 

that Mercedes-Benz 

is re-engineering the 

configuration of its sixcylinder 

line-up, and as 

time goes by I’m sure that 

all of its six-potters will 

eventually be an inline 

configuration, my only 

hope is that new straight 

engines are as involving as 

the C43 is today, and have 

that amazing sound. 

Gardening 

Establish strawberry beds 

ALTHOUGH THE 

weather has cooled, there 

are still a few tasks to be 

done in the garden this 

month. Here are some tips 

to get you started. 

Vege gardens – The 

winter vege garden should 

be well established by now 

and most of your seedlings 

should already be planted. 

Continue to sow broad 

beans and transplant seedlings 

of cabbage, cauliflower, 

broccoli and silverbeet 

for a continuous supply 

over winter. Sow green 

manure crops such as lupin 

and mustard in the parts 

of the vege garden that will 

be empty during the winter 

months. This will add 

nutrients into the soil and 

protect beds over winter. 

Strawberries – It’s 

the traditional time of the 

year for final preparation 

and planting of strawberry 

plants. Areas to be planted 

should be mounded 

80-100cm above existing 

ground level. Incorporate 

large amounts of compost 

into the strawberry bed. 

New plants or offsets from 

last year’s plants should be 

planted 15-20cm apart. 

Fruit trees – Pip and 

stone fruit will have shed

[Edition datE] 

A happy healthy home 

More than ever, we now require our 

homes to be a sanctuary - a primate haven 

where the cares and pressures of the world 

do not intrude. The home should be an 

enveloping, warm and creative environment 

where family members of all ages feel 

relaxed and safe. 

The longer you live in your home, the 

more likely you are to feel in sync with it. 

As the seasons come and go you’ll have 

got to know which rooms are sunny and 

which ones need brightening. 

You’ll have noted areas prone to damp. 

You’ll have observed where different family 

members like to spend their time and why. 

You might have come to the conclusion 

that major changes are required to make 

your home as healthy as possible, or perhaps 

you’ve concluded that a few simple tweaks 

will do the trick. Either way, good planning 

is essential, so take your time, write lots of 

lists and do your research thoroughly. 

MATERIALS 

The ‘make-do-and-mend’ culture 

that has grown during the recession 

places emphasis on the satisfaction that 

can be found in incorporating natural 

materials with vintage items. Pieces of 

driftwood, collections of shells, that lovely 

moss-covered garden bench or a ‘cleverly’ 

revived piece of furniture all have their place 

in the healthy home and its surroundings. 

This trend steers away from plastics and 

synthetic materials. 

HEATING AND VENTILATION 

A home needs to be cool in summer, 

with plenty of natural ventilation, and 

warm in winter. Traditional open fires are 

being phased out and home owners are 

discovering the joys of installing modern 

wood burners, using gas for heating or 

installing a heat pump. All these options are 

healthy - technology has come a long way 

and most choices will see you saving money 

in the long run. 

STORAGE 

While a minimalist style might be fine for 

single people or couples without kids, when 

the patter of tiny feet comes along, good 

storage is going to be vital at every stage of 

a child’s life - be they babies or teens - they 

come with clutter. The more you can contain 

that clutter the better in terms of both your 

mental health and general safety. 

There are any number of options available, 

from professionally designed cupboards 

and wardrobes, to the simple lidded plastic 

boxes you can buy at chain stores. While 

some people claim they thrive in a messy 

environment. I know from experience that a 

lovely, orderly home is good for the soul. 

COLOUR 

Choosing the 

right colours 

for your home 

can make a big 

difference. Small, 

dark rooms 

can be opened 

up and made 

brighter simply 

by choosing the 

right paint. If 

you can afford an 

interior designer 

or colour 

consultant to 

help, I do advise 

it. Today’s 

homes tend to 

be more open 

plan, so choose a palette of two or three 

basic colours and use them throughout to 

achieve cohesion and harmony.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Showhome on view 

Opposite Rolleston Square stands a showhome 

which will have you rethinking your ideas around 

new home design. 

With a presence in the residential building 

market spanning 40 years, Orange Homes have an 

undisputed reputation for delivering quality and their 

Rolleston showhome is testament to this. 

This single level 243sqm home has two living 

areas, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it 

ideal for families and those wanting a little space. Its 

plaster finish augmented with designer schist stone, 

cedar, and long run iron roofing blends well giving 

the home a stylish look. 

There is a feeling of spaciousness as one walks 

into the home, with a bamboo wood divider wall 

affording a sense of separation from the living room. 

The entryway is intimately lit with hanging cabinetry 

providing extra storage while offering the potential 

for a spacious study nook, and with a centrally 

ducted heating system the whole area is warm and 

cosy. 

A north facing lounge runs off the living area 

providing a sumptuous place to entertain or enjoy 

a quiet moment as the sun streams through the 

window. The living room itself is a generous size 

as well as ideal for media purposes. Its degree of 

separation from the lounge and kitchen/dining space 

allows for three distinct areas, where one can escape 

to relax or work. 

The home’s spacious kitchen is a cook’s dream with 

ample bench and cabinetry, cooktop, tower faucet, 

island bar, under bench dishwasher and oven, and 

walk-in pantry. Practicality is to the fore with tiles 

providing a splash back which runs the full length of 

the bench top. Sliders lead from the dining area to a 

patio and fully fenced rear garden where children can 

play safely. 

Attractive yet durable wood grain vinyl planking 

runs through the entryway, kitchen and other wet 

areas. 

In the ensuite there is a cubicle shower, good sized 

vanity and mirrored medicine cabinet, something 

seldom seen in showhomes. 

The home has generous off-street parking 

while positioning of the rooms within the home 

demonstrates how design can accommodate a site on 

a busy road. 

If you are in the market for a 

new home or simply gathering 

ideas, you will want to add 

Orange Homes’ Rolleston 

showhome to your list of

Should you sell 

your house in 

winter? 

Selling a property in winter may seem to go against received wisdom, 

but there are plenty of reasons why it can be a good idea. 

It’s hard to ignore powerful or compelling 

reasons like a change in your work, financial 

or family circumstances, or because the 

timing seems right. In addition, there are 

several other, more tangible upsides to 

selling in winter. 

Firstly, there are often fewer houses on 

the market so there’s less competition. Your 

property is less likely to be lost in a swarm 

of listings and it will be easy to make it stand 

out. People who are looking to buy at this 

time of year are usually highly motivated 

because they need a home sooner rather 

than later. The upside of this is that you may 

get fewer ‘tyre-kickers’ than in the warmer 

months – and increased demand will often 

result in higher prices. 

If you’re selling your property with a 

real estate agent, you need to mine their 

experience. When you’re choosing an agent, 

ask them how houses in your area sell over 

the colder months. It’s in their interests 

to make sure the sale of your property is 

as advantageous as possible; if they think 

you’ll be better off waiting a couple of 

months, they should tell you. They should 

also work with you to work out the best 

times to hold open homes or viewings, 

taking in account shorter sunlight hours. 

You want your property to look attractive, 

inviting and easy to look after – and there 

are plenty of practical steps you can take 

to make it seem an attractive proposition 

on a cold winter’s day. Now’s the time to 

fix any leaks, cracked windows or sticking 

doors or broken drains. All the usual rules 

for preparing a home for sale will apply - 

your buzzwords should be decluttering and 

deep-cleaning. If it has good insulation 

and an efficient heating system, make sure 

these factors are included in any marketing. 

Ensure the house is warm and dry during 

any viewings. 

Don’t forget that people will want to 

look around the outdoor areas too - 

sweep or waterblast paths, mulch garden 

beds and clear gutters. If your garden is 

picture-perfect in summer and spring, 

consider making some photos available so 

prospective buyers can see what they’ve got 

to look forward to. A few colourful plants in 

pots will also help brighten outdoor spaces 

and a new letterbox or freshly painted front 

fence or gate will do wonders for your 

property’s street appeal. 

Prepare well and there’s no reason why 

you can’t successfully sell your property 

before the weather warms up. Sell now and 

you’ll hopefully have lots of properties to 

choose from when you start scanning the 

market in spring.

executive of the Real Estate Authority
