DANGER: Motorists caught using cellphones while driving will be issued with an $80 fine and 20 demerit points.
Pets, pies and cellphones –
police look to crack down
• By Anan Zaki
IF YOU EAT, drink or use
your phone behind the wheel,
chances are you’ll see flashing
lights.
For the remainder of the
year, police in the district will
regularly target drivers who are
not paying full attention to the
road.
The aim of the crackdown is
to reduce the number of crashes
caused by mobile phone use
and other distractions, Sergeant
Alex Pickover said.
“There have been tickets
issued for using a cellphone
while driving, we’ve been doing
checkpoints around the Selwyn
District in relation to cellphone
usage.”

Plan to

netball
courts
before
weekend
• By Jacob Page
ASSURANCES are being
made that netball courts in
the district will be back in
action this Saturday after safety
concerns forced all games to be
abandoned at the
weekend.
All courts were
ruled out because
of the condition of
surfaces which had
seen a number of
players slip during Douglas
matches on May 11.
Marshall
The decision affected more
than 1900 players.
The district council’s
property and commercial
manager, Douglas Marshall,
said cold conditions had
impacted the standard of the
courts’ surfaces.
“Last Saturday’s cold and
damp weather highlighted the
silt and algae build-up on the
courts,” he said.

THE POPULARITY of two
community run events in
Hororata is forcing a rethink
about how often they can be run.
The Hororata Night Glow and
the Hororata Highland Games
are both run every year by volunteers
from the community.
Hororata Community Trust
executive officer Cindy Driscoll
said Saturday’s Night Glow attracted
about 14,000 people and
November’s Highland Games
drew a crowd of about 10,000.
“We’re not sure if we’re doing
it [Night Glow] next year or if
we will go biennial. We need to
review that, look at our capacity
and our community,” Mrs
Driscoll said.
“It takes 150 volunteers, five
days to set up and let alone all
the other stuff we have to do as a
committee to set up.”

The latest statistics breakdown
on distracted drivers
was last year, and the Highland
Games was launched in 2011.
The games also required a huge
commitment to run every year,
Mrs Driscoll said.
“So it’s about what we can do
as a community, we don’t want to
burn people out. It’s not all about
making money,” she said.
A decision on the future of the
two events would be announced
at the end of the year, Mrs
Driscoll said.
But that will not affect this
year’s Highland Games, which is
scheduled for November 9.
Meanwhile, the community
trust was “blown away” by Saturday’s
Night Glow.
Said trust chairman Richard
Lang: “Our vision was to create
a community event that was
welcoming, entertaining and an
all-around great experience for
everyone, we believe we have
done this.”
Strong winds meant the hot air
from 2017 was a “big concern.”
“When we see people looking

phone. It’s not rocket science.”

“Naturally we were
disappointed that we were
unable to get the balloons up for
the Night Glow due to adverse
wind conditions, however, the
balloonists put on a spectacular
and unique burner glow, which
when combined with the
fireworks and other activities
proved to be a successful
evening’s entertainment,” Mr
Lang said.
The proceeds from the Night
Glow will go towards building a
new community centre.
The trust aimed to raise
between $30,000 and $40,000 for
the centre. The proceeds from
the Night Glow are yet to be
confirmed.

‘Most insane place’ to cross a road
• By Anan Zaki
AN ARTIST has found a creative
way to criticise a designated
crossing point being built on a
busy Lincoln road.
Down by the Liffey Gallery
administrator Mike Glover is
puzzled at the
district council’s
decision to install
a footpath which
encourages
people to cross
James St near
Mike Glover
the intersection
with Edward and
Gerald Sts.
“Cars sweep around that
corner and it’s quite an
obstructed view because of trees.
It’s just the most insane place to
put a crossing.”
To express his concern, he
placed a fake sign: “This road
crossing is proudly sponsored by:
Funerals Canterbury Union of
Professionals (FCUP), We Make
Death Easy!!”
Mr Glover said sometimes
people have to “stir the pot” to
send a message.
“It’s unfathomable. We were
involved with the toy library
years ago when my daughter was

little and we used to put a plastic
fence right along the bit where
they’ve got the crossing because
it was so dangerous.”
He believes traffic lights would
be a better option.
District council transportation
team leader Mark Chamberlain
said the kerb is being lowered to
allow easier pedestrian access to
cross the road.
“The kerb cut
down has been put
at this point, as it is
already a place where
pedestrians cross that
intersection and it is
placed to allow the
maximum visibility
of Gerald St and
James St,” he said.
An upgrade to the
Gerald, Edward and
James Sts intersection
is proposed in the Lincoln Town
Centre Plan, Mr Chamberlain
said.
The plan says in five or more
years, traffic signals would be
installed at the intersection if
needed. The crossing point and
footpath are due to be completed
by Friday.
Puppy taken in Burnham house burglary
• By Anan Zaki
BURGLARS HAVE struck
a Burnham house, stealing a
number of belongings and a
13-week-old puppy.
The burglary took place at Two
Chain Rd on May 9.
Little Spot, a bichon shih tzu
cross, was taken from Leigh
Mobbs-Brown’s house of two
years, along with camping
equipment, jewellery, watches,
planters, gardening tools and a
drill. Mr Mobbs-Brown is not a
breeder, but had sold the puppy
to a couple from Invercargill for
$900.
“I come home from lunch
every day and got home around
12.30pm. I discovered
the dog was missing
first. They had gone
through every cupboard
and wardrobe. Three
little dogs came running
towards me, there should
have been four,” he said.
Police were called and
collected fingerprints, Mr
Leigh

Mobbs-Brown said.
He is waiting to hear back
about the fingerprint results.
The police were not
available for comment.
Mr Mobbs-Brown said he
worries about Little Spot’s
health.
“It stresses me out. I always
thought I would give him a
loving caring home, I picked the
family that he was going to,” he
said.
“I don’t care about the
belongings, I can replace them,”
he said. “This is a life, it’s a
family member and I didn’t
bring them up to be good
puppies for someone to take like
that,” Mr Mobbs-Brown said.

Road works signs and confusion
Council admits
‘room for
improvement’
• By Anan Zaki
FOR THE past few years, Kim
Eccleston has been complaining
to the district council about
the incorrect use of road works
signs.
The Lincoln resident of 13
years said far too
often road works
in the district
are riddled with
mistakes, such as
the wrong speed
limit signs.
Kim
Eccleston
Last week a road
works site near
Rolleston had a
100km/h sign in an 80km/h
zone on Weedons Rd.
The sign was kept up for three
days before being changed to the
correct 80km/h on Thursday.
Another road works site
on Old West Coast Rd near
Waddington had two different
speed sign facing the same
direction. One sign said
50km/h while the other sign
was 30km/h.
“Imagine someone who’s
unfamiliar with a road,” Dr
Eccleston said.
He said one of the “worst”
examples he had come across
was at Dynes Rd, Rolleston, last
year.
“There was a 30km/h
temporary [speed] zone and
inside the temporary zone, they
left the normal speed limit signs
uncovered,” Dr Eccleston said.
He believes the district council
is not doing its job of regularly
monitoring road works sites.
“The people who are doing
traffic management, that is their
job. They’re not asked to do
anything else. When they fail
all the time, what does that say
about them?”
“It’s just like going to a dentist
who doesn’t know how to pull
out a tooth,” he said.
District council transportation
team leader Mark Chamberlain
said, on average, 68 traffic
management plans are submitted
for the district each month.
He said the “majority” are
carried our correctly but admits
there is “room for improvement.”

Accidents happen every day.
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.

go on living life to the full, it’s

can contribute, we can support
each other, our family and our

Getting away for Mother’s Day
JUST IN CASE you didn’t read last
week’s column, we all got away for
a short family vacation/Mother’s
Day escape to Greymouth at the
end of last week.
Vittoria also only naps once a
day now. It’s a tough transition
for me. Whatever, don’t judge me
parents of older kids.
Pro-tip; a long car ride across
the Southern Alps can give the
illusion of a much longer nap
time. As long as they can’t ask:
“Are we there yet?”
We managed to get away for
our trip a mere 40min after our
scheduled departure time.
Vittoria went straight
into her nap as we left the city,
but with a couple of stops
through the mountains
(including the wonderful Otira
Stagecoach Hotel) the total trip
took longer than it would have on
the bus.
I actually enjoyed that though, it
felt more like an old-school Kiwi
whānau getaway. We even stayed
in a holiday park and had a pub
meal on the first night.
Love it.
We managed to get in a
fair amount of sightseeing
and relaxation in a couple of
days, with Friday’s perfect
weather making a great
accompaniment to the views at
Punakaiki.
I even managed to sneak in a
tour at the Monteith’s Brewery.
VITTORIA
& Matt
Just me though, can you imagine
taking a toddler to a brewery?
For Vittoria, the best part
was quite probably the
playground at the holiday
park. Unfortunately, it started
pouring down with rain not long
after we arrived so she only got to
play on it for like five minutes on
day one.
You should have seen how
heartbroken she was when I took
her back to the room.
There were “everyone-thinks-
I’m-a-bad-parent” level crying
and screaming.
The next day, her reaction
when she saw that it was still there
and able to be played on
was awesome. She actually said
“wow.”
She’s not even talking yet but
the playground managed to coax
out what could be considered an
actual recognisable word.
Damn, that’s a good
playground.
To finish off our trip we took
even longer to come home on
Saturday, adding in more stops.
I think this could become a
Mother’s Day tradition.

RECENTLY I found an
interesting browny moth with
orange wing tips and distinctive
dots known as ruddy streak or
Tachystola acroxantha.
This moth with a wingspan of
14mm originates from Australia,
but is found throughout New
Zealand and southern England
and Wales.
It was first recorded in New
Zealand in 1886 and is often
found in houses where its larvae
may feed on detritus and outside
on leaf litter.
Larvae reach 11-14mm in
length, are translucent grey to
cream in colour with the gut
showing as a dark dorsal line,
and have a brown head and
mandibles.
Larvae feed on live and dead
leaf material, often between
leaves in a dwelling made with
webbing.
They then pupate within
this tube of webbing, which is
encrusted on the outside with
their dry frass (poo).
Ruddy streak are thought to
go through several generations
in the United Kingdom.

ruddy streak has

Annalisa Pope
Vet’s passion for animals - wings,
World Veterinary Day was
celebrated last month, so
Sophie Cornish caught up
with SPCA Christchurch
centre head vet Annalisa
Pope, of Rolleston, who
has been a practising vet
for 12 years
When did you first decide you
wanted to be a vet and why?
I was about 13-years-old
when I decided I wanted to be
a vet. Initially I wanted to be a
paediatrician, a children’s doctor,
but I decided I couldn’t really
cope with some of the things they
had to deal with. Obviously, I had
always liked animals, so I figured
that was the next best bet.
What are the most
challenging things about being
a vet?
There are multiple things
that are challenging. I guess my
particular role at SPCA is a bit
different to normal vet practice
where you have the challenges
of the animals and the clients.
The clients are difficult at times
because the animals are their
babies, they will do anything and
everything for them.
But at the SPCA, we don’t have
those clients to deal with per se,
we have these animals who don’t
have an owner.
But then we do have some
clients who are very difficult
because they have to go through
the inspectorate and they are
not necessarily the easiest to
deal with. I think either way in
any vet practice the client is one
of the difficulties, but they are
also one of the most rewarding
components of vet practice.
Clients keep you doing what you
do.
It’s the same thing
with the animals, some can
be really aggressive, but if you
spend that time with them and
turn that corner with them,
the reward that comes out is
amazing. Everything that is
a positive is also potentially a
negative.
SURGERY: SPCA Christchurch centre head vet Annalisa Pope has had many challenging
moments over her 12-year career.

You work with some
incredible diagnostic tools to
help with your job – tell me
about these?
It has evolved insanely, it’s
incredible. At the SPCA we have
limited access to diagnostics.
One of the old clinics I used to
work at had a CT machine, which
was pretty rare, there are only
two in Christchurch. They can
X-ray for soft tissue. Obviously
when we deal with X-rays, we
are looking at bones and then
with an ultrasound you are looking
at real time soft tissue. CT
machines actually go full blown
into breaking things down, like a
3D model. Then there are MRIs.
For those, we actually have to
use human machines. Obviously
we have to block out a time with
places that will let us take an
animal in. All these things are
very expensive. For a CT, you are
spending about $1000 and an
MRI is about $4000. Ultrasounds
are probably one of our key
things because they can help us
diagnose so many things internally,
but then again, X-rays are
probably the most used thing in
veterinary. I do think things are
changing a bit these days in that
they are still quite limited. You
still can’t get all the picture you
need, so obviously a combination
of all these diagnostics is the best
way to work it, but we can’t all
afford that. An ultrasound at a
practice would cost about $400
and for x-rays, you often have to
sedate the animal, so that adds
about another $200 cost. People
do have insurance these days
and are much more willing to do
these things, which is amazing.
Obviously at the SPCA we are
pretty limited in how we proceed
with financial things.
Any funny moments as a vet?
I remember there was one
time with a turtle in Ashburton.
This person turned up for the
consult without the turtle, they
forgot it. I called him into the
consult and asked if he had it
and he had to go back home and
get it. Sometimes clients take
explanations literally, for example
when I describe a bone on an
x-ray as “moth-eaten” the owner
sometimes asks “how did the
moths get in there?” Most of the
funny stories in my career tend to
involve some form of bodily fluid
– pus, blood, poo, pee, anal gland
material, reproductive excretions –
and either getting them on myself
or a poor nurse who is unfortunate
enough to be helping me at the
time.

beaks, claws, paws and all
Have you had any injuries
from your work?
Yes, nothing worse than a cat
bite. But anyone who has had a
cat bite, like one through a finger,
will know that it is not as pathetic
as it sounds. It is a horrific injury.
It leaves disgusting bacteria
under your skin, which leads to
a horrible infection, throbbing
in the middle of the night, it is
awful. I have not been mauled
by a dog yet, I’m sure that will
happen one day. I know many
vets who have and you can’t help
but become really cautious and
get shy about going near them
again. I find birds to be one of
the most aggressive. Their beak
hooks on to your finger and
doesn’t let go and it becomes very
difficult. Big birds in particular,
big parrots can be quite nasty. I
find cats the easiest because I can
control them the best.
What is the most unusual
surgery or procedure you have
had to do?
This is a hard one, because
things like fixing a turtles shell
or repairing a turtle’s shell is
probably one of the more unusual
things for me, but for other vets,
it is not unusual. There are people
that do it all the time. Turtles
can break their shells on lots of
things in their environments,
they have parts snap off. If it is
exposing their inner bits then
it can be a bit dangerous. You
literally have to glue it back
together, it’s quite neat. You can
make fake shells too. I have done
so many surgeries people might
find odd, but I don’t really find
them that odd anymore. There
was a dog that had all her girly
bits hanging out and I had to
surgically pop that back in and
stitch it in place, which was a
bit odd. I had a kitten that had
a concave chest. The condition
causes other issues and they can’t
necessarily live like that. Often
they need to be put to sleep as the
cost of the surgery is too much.
But the one that ended up here,
it was a decision of either putting
her to sleep or trying the surgery.
So she had a wee cast made out
100%
CAPITAL gAIN
TO THE RESIDENT
of a dog’s leg cast and we had to
go through sternum, while also
trying to avoid the lungs, heart
and blood vessels.
What sort of study did you
do to become a vet and tell me a
little about your career so far?
I went to Massey University
in Palmerston North. I am
originally from Christchurch. I
did a different degree first and
then did vet school. I spent eight
years at uni. In that time period
I met my now husband, who
lived in Christchurch, and we
had a long distance relationship.
That kind of dictated when I
finished vet school where I was
going to live. So I moved back
to Christchurch and got a job in
Ashburton and commuted there
daily. Then the clinic I worked
for actually opened a clinic in
Christchurch the following year,
so I worked for them and went to
another clinic for eight years and
another one for a couple of
years, before coming to the
SPCA.
Tell me about your family?
I have my husband Jeremy
and two kids, an eight-year-old
daughter Lilly and a six-year-old
son, Stan. We have two dogs
and four cats. I am officially a
hoarder. We used to have one
dog and three cats, but we had
to put one to sleep and took on
two others and got a dog. One of
the hardest parts about working

Quite often I will foster them.
My husband has given me a limit

but he’s a bit of a softy and I can
turn him around if I have to. He
gets attached to them too. The
kids love it but every time we
bring one home, they ask if we
can keep them too. I think it’s
quite an important lesson for

Teen baseballer
pitches for spot
in national team
• By Jacob Page
MULTI-TALENTED Selwyn
baseballer Te Ahu Wall is
starting to turn heads at a
national level.
The 16-yearold,
who can
pitch, hit and
play in the outfield,
was nominated
for New
Zealand Baseball
under-19 player
of the year at its Te Ahu Wall
annual awards.
While he did not take out
the accolade, the Canterbury
age-group representative hopes
it may lead to him being part of
more national teams.
Te Ahu, who lives in Rolleston,
said his nomination came as a
shock. “I was surprised to be
up for the award but it was an
honour,”
Te Ahu made the Canterbury
under-19 team and won the
Canterbury senior baseball
competition with Selwyn.
Te Ahu said he prefers to play
centre field. He believes his
hitting has also improved over
the past year.
“I’ve been getting more
contact and hitting the ball
harder. I like getting a pitch I
can hit as soon as I see it,” he
said.
“My throwing from the
outfield has improved and
become more accurate.”
He said winning the
Canterbury title with Selwyn
was a highlight.
Te Ahu, who was 13 when
he started playing baseball
with his friends, said he also
plays softball when he can and
enjoys both games over the
summer.
“The aim for me is to be part
of a national team,” he said.
Te Ahu said he watches a lot
of United States’ Major League
Baseball and likes watching
Boston Red Sox outfielder
Mookie Betts.

Lincoln University’s
performance against
Linwood
LINCOLN University piled on
50 points again in the metro
premier rugby championship –
this time against Linwood which
replied with 25 points of their
own on Saturday at Linfield.
The Rams had their work cut
out against a rugged Linwood
side but had the guts to soak up
a lot of pressure and finish the
game emphatically. There was a
compelling moment 5min from
the end when the Rams shoved
the big Linwood scrum right
off their own ball and substitute
wing Fletcher Morgan scored in
the left corner.
Then, almost at the death,
Sam Gilbert went across for
his second try of the match.
Brett Cameron capped a superb
goal-kicking display by landing
another conversion from the
sideline.
Replacement No 8 Liam Allen
had earlier finished off a siege
on the Linwood line to give the
Rams a 36-25 lead with 15min
to play. Linwood won heaps
of turnovers but couldn’t do
enough with them.

LINCOLN COMBINED will spend
the next week licking their wounds
after a 18-15 defeat to lowly Roncalli
Combined in Timaru on Saturday.
Roncalli Combined have
won just three games in the UC
Championship over the past three
years and conceded an average of
60 points in each of their first two
matches this season.
Lincoln Combined had a 10-6
lead at half-time and even added a
try after the break but were unable
to prevent the shock defeat.
Coach Tom Hooper praised
Roncalli Combined’s disruptive,
scrambling defence and lamented
his own team’s lack of finishing.
“Roncalli defended really well
and they disrupted our ball,
especially in the midfield,” he said.
“We got enough ball and used
it relatively well. We just couldn’t
finish. The passes that you would
normally expect to stick just didn’t
for us on the weekend. On another
day, we score three or four more
tries with the opportunities we
created and it’s a different story,” he
said.
Hooper said the side’s decisionmaking
and option-taking was an
issue but their effort was good and
he didn’t believe complacency was
an issue.
Lincoln Combined will now shift
their focus to high-flying Christ’s
College on Saturday.
“We have to try to put this behind
us and focus on what will be a
massive game against Christ’s,”
dummied and accelerated all the
way to the line.
Ere Enari’s crisp passing
was a boon for the Rams, but
he did not overshadow his
counterpart, Liam McCormack.
The Linwood halfback was as
good with his delivery and he
scored a sharp try from the base
of an advancing scrum to keep
Linwood in touch approaching
half-time. He made other breaks
as well.
Other Linwood players to
impress were man mountain
SPORT
Hooper said. “We have to make it
clear at training this week that this
was week three and we have a full
season ahead of us.”
Hooper said the loss did not take
away from his team’s impressive
round two win over Shirley Boys’
High.
“We had work-ons from that
game and we certainly have some
from the Roncalli game,” he said.
“We just have to make sure the
boys are in a good space mentally
and prepared for this Saturday.”

LINCOLN AND Springston are
the last two Ellesmere sides left
in the combined country rugby
competition after a thrilling
week of quarter-finals.
Both teams will hit the road
on Saturday in an effort to
make the final, with Springston
travelling to Omihi to take on
Glenmark-Cheviot and Lincoln
making their way to Hinds to
face Southern.
The competition will have a
new champion after last season’s
winners Waihora were beaten by
Springston 18-7, thanks largely to
Springston making the most of
two try-scoring chances.
However, a Brad Mavor
penalty late in the second half
lifted Lincoln to an 18-17 win
over Prebbleton at the Prebbleton
Oval.
Lincoln co-coach Kris
Partridge said he felt like his
team had won the war against
Prebbleton after reversing the
result of a round-robin game
played during the Prebbleton
centenary celebrations.
“I was really happy with how
we played and to win a close one
like that is a good sign.”
Partridge said his team’s scrum
and lineout laid a good platform
initially, and he was very pleased
with the heart shown by his
players. “We learnt things from
the loss to them at Prebbleton
and for the most part we were
happy,” he said.
“I don’t know much about
Southern but I might talk to
(Darfield coach) Merv and try to
get some intel on them.”
Springston coach Anton
Sutherland said his team are
eager to turn around their onepoint
loss to Glenmark-Cheviot a
fortnight ago.
“We lost to them in the 83rdminute
last time and I believe
100 per cent that we can win
this.”
He said beating Waihora gave
them a lot of confidence.
“They re a champion side
and we knew they’d come out
and try to bully us off the ball
and we handled it and took our
chances,” he said.
Glenmark-Cheviot outlasted
Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell
52-13. BDI led 10-0 but could not
maintain it and were blown off
the park in the second half.
Southern had a tough time
against Darfield but eventually
prevailed 34-25.

Selwyn Times
The Council’s Selwyn Natural Environment Fund (SNEF) which encourages the protection and
restoration of native biodiversity on private land, is open for applications.
The SNEF assists landowners with advice and funding that supports the continued protection,
management and restoration of natural environments.
Biodiversity coordinator Andy Spanton says many farms in Selwyn have patches of vegetation
that contain rare, significant or threatened native species.
“The fund’s first priority is to protect sites that have been identified by an ecological assessment as
significant or are under covenant, particularly where they face threats such as from weeds or grazing.
“The fund’s second priority is to help increase, restore, enhance and protect sites that would
benefit from native biodiversity enhancement and protection,” Andy says.
A growing number of landowners in the district are protecting and restoring areas of native
vegetation on private land including Tai Tapu landowner Scott Amos. Mr Amos received $4,440
from the SNEF in the 2017/18 year to carry out native planting on a hill block. He has completed
the first year of a five-year planting plan, with a second area earmarked for planting later this year.
Regenerating the area with native plants and protecting the site for future generations is what
drives Mr Amos’ biodiversity efforts.
“There are so many benefits as a result of doing this work such as increased bird life, insects and
lizards, erosion control and increased biodiversity – we are noticing the benefits of this already,”
Mr Amos says.
“Andy has been giving us great help and we would also like to mention how amazing Te Ara
Kakariki Greenway Canterbury Trust has been with developing a planting plan and providing
volunteers to assist with the planting.”

On the roads this week
Sealing work will continue on Dalethorpe Road and Waimakariri Gorge Road until Friday
24 May. Traffic management will be in place at this time. Footpath construction will be
taking place on Hansendene Drive from Kilkenny Street to Foxford Drive, on Liffey Place
from North Belt and on South Belt from West Belt to Kildare Terrace until Friday 24 May.
Parking options in town centre
As part of the Rolleston town centre upgrade, a number of loading
and car park areas are proposed.
The car parks have been deliberately located around the edge
of the town centre to encourage visitors to move around on foot.
Accessible parking is proposed in multiple locations across the
town centre to minimise travel distances for physically impaired
drivers. Detailed designs of the proposed town centre development
are available for the public to view. For more information and to
have your say, go to selwyn.govt.nz/rtc-design.
Car parks
There is a main car park south of the development which will
provide the majority of parking for the town centre.
Car park two is located off Tennyson Street to the rear of the
upcoming shops. This will provide 44 car parks. Car park three
is located on the south of the site, just off Tennyson Street. It will
provide 130 to 140 parking spaces with the final number being
dependent upon the number of accessible parks and parent parks
that are provided.
On-street, right angled parking bays are proposed in all areas. The
bays are designed to be 2.6m wide and 5.0m deep, in accordance
with District Plan standard.
Bus stops
There is a bus stop on Tennyson Street, which will be directly across
from the new Te Ara Ātea Library and Community Centre. The
indented bus bays and loading bays are 2.5m wide with lengths of
13.5m and 12m respectively. The loading bays will service the retail
and commercial operators.
Movie Nights back for winter
The Council is excited to bring back Selwyn Movie Nights, starting with
a great dragon tale to add some warmth to those winter evenings.
Spend your Friday night (24 May) relaxing with friends and family at
Rolleston College and discover the ‘Hidden World’ with Toothless
the dragon. Bring your own blanket, bean bag, or cushion. There
will also be snack bar with snacks available for purchase, or you
can bring your own from home (no hot food please) – please use
rubbish bins provided.
Tickets:
$5 per person,
Small group pass (3 people) $10,
Large group pass (4–6 people) $15.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Bookings are essential. To confirm a seat buy your tickets online
today at www.eventbrite.co.nz or visit the Council website.
Doors open at 6.30pm. Use carpark and entrance off Broadlands Drive.
Waste management in Selwyn –
have your say
Public consultation has begun on a proposed plan which aims to
efficiently manage solid waste in Selwyn for the next six years.
The proposed Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2019 sets
out key actions that will address growing waste volumes, promote
greater uptake of the kerbside organics service in areas where
it’s available, establish a reuse shop and salvage yard, increase
education on waste reduction and improve access to services.
The proposed plan will explore emerging alternative waste
technologies and initiatives, promote ownership of the waste that
everyone generates and seek more community engagement.
Submissions close at 5pm on Friday 7 June, 2019. For more
information and to have your say, go to selwyn.govt.nz/wasteplan.

The Council is consulting on changes to its General Bylaw 2009, to enhance its clarity and certainty.
The General Bylaw is an administrative bylaw. It contains provisions which are common to all Council
bylaws such as conditions relating to the granting of licences. We want residents’ feedback on the draft
review bylaw and the proposal to reference the General Bylaw in all other bylaws. Public submissions
close at 5pm on Friday 28 June, 2019.
The purpose of a general bylaw is to contain provisions that do not need to be repeated in all other
bylaws. This prevents the unnecessary duplication of provisions which are common to all bylaws,
promoting consistency between the bylaws and making them more succinct.
For more information and to make a submission, go to selwyn.govt.nz/generalbylawreview.
Do you have heritage items to protect?
The Heritage Fund 2019 will be open for applications next month.
Applications will be accepted from Wednesday 5 June and close on Wednesday 17 July 2019.
The fund aims to encourage and assist property owners with work required to maintain and enhance
heritage buildings in the district, as well as work required on protected trees. It is open to residents
and ratepayers of the Selwyn district and priority is given to buildings, trees and items that are listed as
‘heritage’ under the Selwyn District Plan.
For more information and to download and application form, go to selwyn.govt.nz/heritagefund2019, or
contact us at heritagefund@selwyn.govt.nz.
Late applications will not be accepted.

Look local for
electrical needs
Locally owned and operated and
based in Rolleston, Juice Electrical has
been servicing the Selwyn district for
14 years with Greg Horton and his team
of four qualified master electricians
dedicated to the local community –
and there is no service vehicle charge
for Rolleston.
Juice Electrical can help with all your electrical needs
providing a professional and timely service whether
it is residential, commercial or industrial, indoors or
outdoors.
“We pride ourselves on going the extra mile
particularly with repair and renovation work and we’re
very strong on maintenance,” says Greg.
“We advise anyone needing electrical work to always
use a Master Electrician so they can provide continuity
of service and, if there are any problems, they can sort
them out.”
Even though the warm weather is far away it is a
good time to be thinking about how your outdoor areas
could be enhanced and accentuated with strategically
placed outdoor lighting – and it is nice to look at from
inside during the evening.
Greg suggests LED (light emitting diode) lighting as
it is a lot easier and less expensive to install because
there is no need to dig trenches for wiring. He also
recommends installing sensors so the lights come on
automatically.
Juice Electrical knows a lot about the range of LED
outdoor lighting including up-lighting, deck lighting
and floodlights as well as security lighting and can
advise on the best type and where they should be
placed.
“We discuss the customer’s ideas with them, show
them photos of other gardens with attractive outdoor
lighting and make suggestions on how they can make
the most of their outdoor area with a range of LED
lighting options,” says Greg.
In fact LED lights are fast becoming the preferred
option for indoor lighting as well.
“The technology has taken off and is replacing halogen
and incandescent bulbs for the home. Low voltage LED
technology has advanced from being initially used
in calculators and then torches to being suitable for
lighting anywhere
in the home
and we highly
recommend
them.”
Look out for
the brightly
coloured Juice
Electrical vans as
they work hard
to look after the
Selwyn district’s
electrical needs.

team at 379 6644.

If picking fruit from your own trees

property’s location, soil type and aspect the
best.

designer are also on-site to make your
selection even easier.
Southern Woods can also provide on-site
consultations and design landscape plans
for new sections and light commercial
developments. Another option is to take in
your plans and they can help with planting
inspiration directly in their plant centre.
Along with the plants, there is also
a selection of premium tools, planting
accessories and disease control products.
“Our tools are top quality and come from
Japan and Germany so they will last a long
time,” says Rico.

Add space to your home
with a modern conservatory
Most people when they think of a
conservatory have the image of an oldschool
hot house. But that’s not how they
are these days.
Locally owned Christchurch company
UDR has an extensive collection of customdesigned
conservatories and windbreaks.
Incorporating products like double glazing
and Therma-panel roofing systems, these
conservatories or windbreaks can often be
better insulated and more comfortable all
year round than clients’ existing homes.
UDR offers a complete design and
build package and the entire service is
no obligation. If a consent is needed they
can organise that but in some cases UDR
can add the extra space without council
consent.
The actual build time for one of UDR’s
conservatories or windbreaks is normally
two to three days, with little or no mess
and, at the end of it, you are left with a
bigger home for a lot less cost than adding
an extension to your home, with the job
being completed in a lot less time.
UDR has worked on projects from
$10,000 to $150,000 so there is no job too
big or too small. The company receives
over 60 per cent of its business from repeat
or referred customers, which shows its
commitment to customer service.
Owner and manager Kelly Tyson has
grown up in Christchurch and it was
the issue of not having many still days in
summer that prompted the company to
launch into the market of conservatories
and windbreaks. UDR was already a
market leader in replacing aluminium
windows and doors in people’s homes and
Kelly wanted homeowners to add not just a
functional room but also a beautiful space
they could be proud of and, importantly,
feel like they are outside while escaping the
elements.
So if you feel you could do with some
extra space in your home and don’t want
to through the hassle and cost of moving,
call one of UDR’s design consultants and
get your free no-obligation quote. They
might just have the solution you are
looking for.Email office@udr.co.nz, visit
the website www.ultimate-design.co.nc or

Lexus UX – gateway
into the marque
Gardening
I NEVER would have
picked the change of
direction that Lexus has
travelled in the last few
years.
The company came onto
the global market in 1989
with a large sedan and
since then sport sedans,
coupes and convertibles,
along with a luxury fourwheel-drive
vehicle, have
accounted for a large part
of its sales.
However, in recent times,
to capitalise on the global
demand for sport utility
vehicles, Lexus has changed
direction slightly, there are
a large number of SUVs in
the company’s line-up, and
it is ever-increasing.
Just recently, a compact
SUV has been launched by
Lexus. Badged simply UX,
it sits beneath the smallto-medium
NX and RX. If
you think of Toyota RAV4
size, then the UX is about
that stature, however, it gets
a heap of upmarket kit that
clearly has it sitting in the
luxury car category.
The UX lands here in
force, there are seven
front-wheel-drive and allwheel-drive
variants, all are
2-litre powered, yet there
is the option of hybrid
technology. From what I’m
picking up from Lexus New
Zealand and at local dealer
level, the hybrid is the car
to beat and it is the subject
of this evaluation , an
F-Sport Limited to be exact.
It sits at $72,900.
Incidentally, the UX hits
the showroom floors at
$59,900 for a 2-litre petrol,
while a range-topping
4WD Limited hybrid sits at
$75,900.
I’ve driven a lot of
hybrids out of the Lexus
and Toyota stables recently,
and I agree, the UX in
hybrid form takes a lot
of beating. For one the
hybrid system has become
what I would call normal.
Whereas once hybrids
took a little understanding
and a technique to drive
them effectively, that has
all changed. Today’s hybrid
works much like any other
petrol-powered car, it feels
just so right, and in Lexus
form the refinement within
the driveline mechanicals
makes it hard to detect any
transfer of power between
electric delivery and when
the petrol engine kicks in.
Of course, there are
many other benefits other
than the sophistication,
the UX hybrid is rated
with a 4.5-litre per 100km
(63mpg) combined cycle
fuel usage rating. That
claim sits well with the
readout on the evaluation
car, it was showing around
7l/100km (40mpg) when
LEXUS UX 250H: Two-litre engine with or without
hybrid option.
I took it back to the
dealership.
The UX is also quick,
that’s the benefit of electric
delivery. It will scamper
to 100km/h in 8.6sec, and
will complete an overtake
manoeuvre in 5sec. The
latter is attributed to the
solid mid-range delivery
between electric and
petrol, the UX has dynamic
performance, Lexus
claiming power outputs of
135kW and 188Nm.
• Price – Lexus UX
250h F-Sport,
$72,900
• Dimensions –
Length, 4495mm;
width, 1840mm;
height, 1520mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1987cc,
135kW, 188Nm,
continuously
variable automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.4sec
• Fuel usage –
4.5l/100km
Not only is the UX
a spirited drive, it also
handles with aplomb. I
guess it doesn’t wear a
F-Sport badge for nothing,
the UX has accurate
corner turn-in and definite
steering feel.
This is something
Lexus does so well, the
steering is involving and
communicative. Riding
on beautiful Bridgestone
Turanza tyres (225/50
x 18in), there is a lot of
rubber in contact with the
road and it shows, grip
levels are high even without
the four-wheel-drive
option.
There is little sensation
power is coming out the
front wheels only, the UX
is balanced and controlled
and, of course, you get an
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
amazingly compliant ride,
traditional with all Lexus
models.
That luxury feel doesn’t
end there, the cockpit and
cabin area is plush, the way
Lexus create interiors is a
real credit. The test car was
trimmed with white leather,
yet there are contrasting
elements which work
effectively to tone down
the overpowering effect of
light.
There are also the
ingredients which luxury
car owners would expect
even from an SUV. The
UX is chock full of the
latest technology for safety,
comfort and convenience,
and its styling and design
inside and out is eyecatching
and desirable. All
of the ingredients are in
place to make the UX very
much a part of the Lexus
family.
Lexus claim the UX is
the gateway model into the
brand. I guess that’s a good
call, however, the company
will have to market that
hard, Toyota have just
launched an amazing new
RAV4, and some models
have similar drivelines to
the UX. While it’s nice to
step up into Lexus luxury,
some buyers may well be
happy with the cheaper
option.
Wherever the UX goes in
terms of sales, it is just part
of a spectacular range of
Lexus models.
Personally, I’d still be
sticking to one of the sport
sedans or coupes from the
stable, but for those who
do need or want an SUV,
the UX will certainly be a
purchase which will keep
the buyer happy for many
years, and it will definitely
put a smile on their face
every time they see the
savings hybrids offer when
it comes to fill-up time at
the local service station.

Checklist for selling your home
MAKE SMALL FIXES
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and
correct the flaws that are most egregious
(if affordable) or can be relatively easily
fixed—from repairing cracks in the
walkways to repainting dingy walls or oiling
creaky hinges.
SET A PRICE
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of
the market, then ask to see listings for
properties similar to yours that have sold in
the past six months. Check out comparable
listings yourself in the real estate section
of your newspaper or on websites. Then
decide whether you want a quick, easy sale
or the highest possible price.
CLEAN & DECLUTTER
Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and
“stuff ”—toss it, donate it, give it away, sell it
at a yard sale, or put it into storage—so the
house seems more spacious and buyers can
imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT
MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start showing
your house, keep the lawn mowed, shrubs
trimmed, gardens weeded, rooms spotless
and clutter-free.
READY YOUR HOME FOR OPEN
DAYS
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh
flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of
cookies for the homey smell, open the
drapes, keep pets out of sight.
DECIDE WHETHER TO DO YOUR
OWN BUILDING INSPECTION
It may save you time, especially with older
homes, to identify - and potentially solve
- problems your buyer’s inspection will
discover later.

Advice for maintaining your home
As most New Zealanders’ homes are their
biggest investments it’s important to protect
them. Good maintenance will:
• Keep your home safe and secure
• Keep you and your family healthy
• Save you money by allowing you to fix
problems before they get bigger
• Protect your financial investment
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO
APPROACH MAINTENANCE?
Carry out regular preventative maintenance
to prevent some problems from occurring.
MAINTAINING YOUR HOME
Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.
Be prepared for emergencies – know where
and how the water, gas and power supplies
turn off.

It is better to hire a tradesperson and get
the job done properly than to make costly
mistakes. By law, some jobs need to be done
by a professional, such as gas, plumbing,
drainage and some electrical work. Major
maintenance matters.
MOISTURE
Damp homes are unhealthy and harder
to heat. Combat persistent damp in your
home by:
• Insulating (under the floor, in the ceiling
and walls).
• Ventilating (including extractor fans in
bathrooms and kitchens, opening windows,
using a dehumidifier or forced ventilation
system and keeping vents clear).
• Heating (aim to keep the indoor
temperature at a minimum of 16C).
• Replacing unflued gas heaters with
electric or flued gas heaters.

Key reasons
to buy new
Buying new has many advantages. No one has
yet lived in your brand new home and it has that
new home smell and feel.
That doesn’t appeal to the villa crowd.
But many people dream of a home in a
new suburb.
There are many other advantages --
such as being able to customise the home
before it’s built. Buyers love it that their
build guarantee covers most things and
there’s little maintenance to do for the first
10 years.
There are a long list of reasons some
people dream of buying new.
They include:
• Current Building Code requirements
specify a higher standard of insulation
and glazing than you can expect in an
older home, which makes your new home
warmer in winter and cooler in summer,
meaning cheaper to run. In addition
there has been a vast improvement in the
quality and technology of construction
materials over the last decade.
• New homes are designed for modern
lifestyles with walk-in wardrobes, double
or triple car garaging, en suites and heat
pumps.
• Internal access garaging.
• Indoor-outdoor flow. Home builders
before the 1970s rarely thought about this.
• Automatic pool covers and electric
curtains are included in a lot of new
homes, he says.
• In a new subdivision you’re not going
to have five cross-leased small homes next
door to your architecturally designed fivebedroom
dream home, he says.
• New purpose-built shopping and
service centres cater for the modern life.
• New schools can be popular. New
schools are being designed with “Modern
Learning Environments”, which are
considered better layouts for 21st-century
learning.
Another important factor is it’s easier
to get a mortgage. New Reserve Bank of
New Zealand loan to value (LVR) ratio
restrictions from October 1 don’t relate
to new homes. Likewise the KiwiSaver
HomeStart grant is doubled for first time
buyers.
When it comes to new apartment
buildings they’re built to a higher
standard of earthquake/fire proofing and,
hopefully, are no longer leaky.
There are, of course, disadvantages to
buying new. Not everyone wants to wait
six or 12 months to move into their home.
Other downsides include:
• Borrowing to cover the progress
payments is more complex than taking
out a mortgage on an existing property.
• Builders and developers can go broke,
leaving the buyer in an awkward position.
• With some new homes the buyer
effectively needs to become a project
manager.
• You have to deal with council for
building and sometimes resource consent.
• The location may be further from the
centre than you wanted.
• If it’s infill housing you might have a
cross lease situation that some people find
tricky.
• There are often teething problems with
a new build.
• You won’t get a quaint tree-lined
street.
• Your section will most likely be
smaller than that of an existing home.
• Fences, paths and landscaping might
need to be added at a cost.

Property Market Update
with Farmlands Real Estate
District growth opens
up opportunities
Selwyn is the fastest growing
district in Canterbury.
Population estimates are at just
over 60,000 for the 2018/2019
period, growing by more than
1,000 people in the 2019/2020
year.
Currently, there are new
housing subdivisions spread
throughout the district and in
various stages of completion;
particularly in Lincoln and
Rolleston. There are also large
Linda Fogarty. building projects happening
within the town centres.
“This growth opens up options
for more businesses to become part of this expanding
district and why wouldn’t you want to live and work
here,” says Linda Fogarty, Canterbury Regional Manager
for Farmlands Real Estate.
In January, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand reported
mortgage lending had increased with first home buyers
still the strongest group, purchasing almost a quarter of
properties sold in New Zealand.
With lending criteria varying (depending on factors
such as a borrower’s financial situation), Linda always
recommends to people seeking to buy a home who will
need finance, to contact their bank or mortgage broker
before they start looking so they are better able to make
an informed decision.
Linda believes the Government’s decision not to
introduce a Capital Gains Tax will reassure potential
buyers. This coupled with the currently low interest rates
should see confidence return to the market.
“We’re finding more people out and about, looking at
open homes and expressing interest in making an offer
on their desired property,” adds Linda.
Recently reported Statistics New Zealand figures
suggest October’s Foreign Buyers’ Ban has cut into
property demand, particularly in parts of Auckland and
Queenstown.
The new legislation means that for buyers to be able to
purchase a property in New Zealand, they need to have
New Zealand, Australian or Singaporean citizenship or
residency, and have lived in New Zealand for at least
183 days for the past 12 months. Those who do not
meet the criteria can apply for consent, to the Overseas
Investment Office (OIO).
Linda says the rules have become tighter. Where
previously overseas buyers could not purchase rural and
lifestyle blocks (over five hectares in size), or in land
sensitive areas such as the foreshore, seabed, an historic
area, or land which is part of a Māori reserve, without
OIO consent, the new restrictions now include buying a
