Backlash expected over childcare funding
• By Devon Bolger
SOME DISTRICT councillors
are expecting a backlash over
a new policy which will allow
them and Malvern Community
Board members to be
reimbursed for childcare.
Councillors and community
board members are now able to
claim up to $6000 a year plus
Henrietta rides the
fast track to a big
future on two wheels
• By Jacob Page
HENRIETTA Christie is proving
age is no barrier to talent.
The 17-year-old Lincoln High
School student is currently
leading the under-19 category in
her debut Calder Stewart Racing
Series.
She also took out the South
Island secondary schools road
race and time trial titles last
week, pouncing at the right
moment to blitz the field at
Ruapuna Raceway.
The victories were decided in
vastly different circumstances,
with a convincing 1min 42sec
win in the road race, and a
split-second win in the time trial
over Invercargill’s SIT Southern
Hub rider Emily Paterson from
GST per child under-14
at an hourly rate of $15
an hour while on council
business. That includes
meetings and events.
Mayor Sam Broughton
and the 11 district
councillors unanimously
voted to pass the policy
at last week’s council
meeting.
James Hargest College.
“Conditions were good (at
Ruapuna Raceway) and there was
little wind, so I just had to wait
for my chance to attack, which
is usually straight after there’s a
break-away,” said Henrietta.
“It was good to win, but it’s
more something that was on my
agenda this year.”

PROMISING: Lincoln High
cyclist Henrietta Christie, 17,
leads the under-19 category
in the Calder Stewart Racing
Series.
The policy falls under
the new Local Government
Members Determination
2019 law, which
came into effect on July
1 and allows councils
to consider paying back
childcare costs.
Malcolm Mr Broughton and
Lyall councillors Nicole Reid
and Craig Watson, and community
board member Megan
Hands, are the only current
elected members eligible for the
reimbursement.
The policy will be reviewed
annually and is expected to cost
$20,000 to $25,000 a year.
Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall
said he believes the policy will
ruffle feathers and result in a
backlash from the community.
“There’s always going to be
someone saying what are they
[the district council] doing? It’s
just a part of the job and I’m just
keen to get more young people
around the table and that is
what this is about,” he said.
It comes as ratepayers face a
six per cent increase in rates to
fund services and facilities in
the district. •Turn to page 5

SELWYN TIMES
YOU CAN call me a grump but ratepayers
will understandably be a bit miffed by
district councillors voting to reimburse
themselves for childcare.
That’s on you and me – the ratepayer.
And our rates have gone up six per cent
this year.
On page 1 today we reveal district councillors voted unanimously
to agree to a new policy which allows them to have
childcare paid for up to $6000 a year when they attend meetings
and other council business and events.
The policy is aimed at encouraging more people to stand for
local politics.
The mayor and district councillors are paid, and a number
also have jobs and businesses.
Should ratepayers be paying for their childcare?

to be demolished by council
A BUILDING in Lincoln’s main
street described as a blot on the
landscape has been bought by
the district council – and will be
demolished.
The purchase of 5 Gerald St is
part of major changes planned
for the retail heart of Lincoln.
Lincoln
Chinese
Takeaway,
which currently
leases
the building,
will move
around the
corner to the
former site of
Lynn Townsend The Pantry
in Robert St.
The district council’s property
manager Douglas Marshall said
the purchase price was $300,000.
Last year the district had an
independent valuation done,
which valued the property at
$285,000 plus gst, he said. The
rating valuation of the property
is $355,000.
Long-time Lincoln business
owner Lynn Townsend welcomed
it would be demolished.
“It’s been an eyesore for a
long time and never should
CHANGES: The building currently leased by Lincoln Chinese
Takeaway faces demolition.
have been built there in the first
place. I’m very pleased to see the
council have got a hold of it,” Mr
Townsend said.
“It’s a great move, councillor
Grant Miller seized the opportunity
for Lincoln ratepayers
and did a good job, I’m happy it’s
now in council hands.”
The building is likely to be demolished
by the end of the year.
It would be the first step to
opening up the retail precinct
area and transforming the street
appeal, said Mr Marshall.
“There’s been interest from
people in Lincoln over many
years in doing something new
with that site and this was an opportunity
to open up the space
with a fresh welcoming area to
the new town centre.”
Options for the space including
a park or reserve, Mr Marshall
said.
The town centre plan, adopted
by the district council in 2016
after extensive community
consultation, will develop public
spaces and squares, provide for
safe cycling and walking connections
along with adequate
car parking and promote ‘active
frontage’ with buildings placed
to the edge of the footpath and
facing the street with car parking
behind.
The design of the Gerald St
plaza around Robert St proposes
widening the pavement to create
a pedestrian plaza along
the shop fronts with different
paving, street furniture and
landscaping.
Redevelopment of the site
purchased by the district council
will allow this to happen more
easily and in keeping with the
rest of the town centre design,
said Mr Marshall.
In Brief
MOTORIST INJURED
A motorist has escaped with
moderate injuries after the car
he was driving hit a power pole
last Thursday. Lincoln chief fire
officer Jeremy Greenwood said
the crash happened on Tancreds
Rd, Lincoln. The man was taken
to hospital.
TRUST REPRESENTATIVES
The district council has selected
its representatives to help
decide on the new trustees for
the Central Plains Water Trust.
Mayor Sam Broughton and
councillor Murray Lemon were
appointed to a joint committee
with the city council.
EMERGENCY ROUTES
The district council has
identified no emergency routes
at risk from earthquake-prone
buildings. In 2018 and early
2019 the district council
undertook a process to check
buildings and carry out public
consultation to identify if
any public road, footpath or
thoroughfare was at risk of an
unreinforced building falling on
it during an earthquake.

Thank you for
helping your
Fall Zones
community
To all of you who have had your
trees trimmed before they became
a problem, thank you for keeping all
the farms working and families in your
community warm, happy and healthy.
You can be proud of the fact that you kept the local cowsheds
milking, water pumps pumping and sheep shearers shearing.
You may not think that what you’ve done has had much impact
on your neighbours, but from all of us here at Orion, we just
want to say thank you.
Notice and Growth limit zones

A
Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone
66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m
33,000 volts 2.5m 3.5m
11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m
400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m
We’re not exaggerating.
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.
How close is too close?
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and
preferably the notice zone.
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to
disease or adverse weather events.
Where do I start?
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every
day or part day during which the offence continues.
More info can be found on our website and if
you have any questions or notice any trees
touching power lines in your area, please call
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

Tourists boost Selwyn economy
SELWYN’S ECONOMY has
continued its strong growth
backed by a “whopping” increase
in tourist and local spending
according to latest economic
data.
The latest quarterly economic
monitor from analysts
Infometrics showed the Selwyn
economy continued to grow well
ahead of national and regional
averages.
The report showed Gross Domestic
Product growth in Selwyn
increasing at 4.9 per cent in
the year to
March 2018
compared
to 2.5 per
cent growth
nationally and
1.6 per cent
growth across
Sam
Broughton
Canterbury.
Selwyn had
the largest
increase in
spending by tourists nationally,
up 13.2 per cent for the year,
with tourists spending $117 million
in the district. It also highlighted
a 13.6 per cent increase
in electronic card transactions to
$89.2 million.
Council community services
and facilities group manager
Denise Kidd says the figures reflect
the positive growth district

council has seen.
“They’re confirming to us
what we know, that Selwyn is a
great place to visit, to live and to
do business.”
The growth in commercial
building consents continued
strongly with the district council
issuing 39 new commercial
building consents in the first
three months this year with
growth expected. In contrast the
report showed slowing building
by businesses in the wider Canterbury
region.
Unemployment also stayed at
2.2 per cent, unchanged from
the same time last year and
almost half the national average
of 4.3 per cent.
Mayor Sam Broughton says
the strong figures were a positive
reflection of the continuing
development and maturing of
the district’s economy.
“The report shows how
we’re taking advantage of the
rapid growth that continues in
Selwyn. It’s particularly positive
to see visitor and tourism spend
increase which helps bring
diversity to our economy and
highlights what a great place we
are to visit and stay.”

Cr Lyall said it was not a high

“People are always going to

real sacrifice to do this job and
this is one way to make it easier
for young families.”
Cr Watson, who is not standing
in October’s local body elections
to pursue National’s nomination
for the Selwyn electorate, said he
is expecting some anger from the
public.
“People are always going
to complain but at the end of

the barriers for people wanting to
be on the council, it’s not about
money it’s about making it a
sustainable option for people,” he
said.

he would not have voted for the
policy.

Maddie back in hospital
to save ‘failing’ kidney
• By Devon Bolger
WEST Melton teenager
Maddie Collins is
desperately fighting to save
her new kidney after signs
it may be failing.
Her mother Sarah
Manson-Collins said
Maddie, 15, is currently
struggling with declining
kidney function and high
blood pressure.
“These are complications
from a failing kidney
and right now we are just
trying to maximise her
best chances to save it,”
said Mrs Manson-Collins.
The pair are currently
staying at Ronald
McDonald House Grafton
Mews in Auckland while
Maddie is being treated at
Starship Hospital.
“It’s been really hard,
although Maddie’s quite
frustrated about being

incredible international
acts,” he said yesterday.
Australian icons
Icehouse will headline the
day-long festival, which
also features two big other
overseas acts – 10cc and
the voice of Ultravox,
Midge Ure.
Kiwi acts will include
Zed, The Mockers,
back in hospital she is
handling things well.
We’ve accepted that this
is just where we are at the
moment,” Mrs Manson-
Collins said.
“She’s been sick for 10
years and it’s exhausting.
I really feel for Maddie a
lot.”
She suffers from the
kidney disease, nephrotic
syndrome.
Maddie received a
‘miracle’ second kidney
transplant in January last
year after being told there
was only a two per cent
chance of finding a match
in New Zealand.
Maddie’s first kidney
was donated six years ago
by her father Adam, but
her body rejected it.
The family didn’t
expect to be able to find a
second kidney match in
New Zealand. They were
Automatic 80s and Jed
Parsons.
“This is the best response
we’ve had for early tickets
sales, so people will need
to be in fairly quick. I am
anticipating a sellout,” he
said.
It will be Selwyn Sounds

John Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, United States,
to find one when they were
notified an organ had been

Mrs Manson-Collins
said in spite of the current
prognosis not looking
good, they are not
reconsidering the trip.
“At the moment, no. We
are focused on stabilising
this kidney and right now
we don’t want to think too
far forward.”
In spite of her illness,
Maddie is a passionate
equestrian rider and
competed at the Cover

at McLeans Island earlier
this month.
“Even though her kidney
is failing, she went out
there and gave it her all
and did really well,” Mrs

Foster Park contractor chosen
• By Devon Bolger
THE COMPANY which will
build the $21 million Foster Park
indoor sports facility has been
decided.
But what that company is
remains a secret.
The district council voted
behind closed doors last week to
decide which of four companies
would get the contract.
A district council spokesman
told Selwyn Times the name of
the successful tender would be
publicly released next week.
He said the delay was due
to the district council needing
time to inform the unsuccessful
tenders of the decision.
Four companies were shortlisted
and presented their bids
and concept plans to an evaluation
panel of two district council
staff, two councillors and an
independent consultant.
The panel put forward a
recommendation to the district
council which was voted on in
at the council meeting. The vote
and discussion was publicly
excluded due to commercial sensitivity,
the spokesman said.
The multi-purpose indoor
courts facility will include four
‘competition standard’ courts
capable of hosting local and
regional competitions.
PROGRESS: An indoor sports facility for Foster Park is one
step closer, a contractor has been chosen.
Four covered courts for sports
such as netball, tennis, basketball
and futsal, as well as a flexible
space for the community events,
markets, exhibitions
It will also include a sports hub
building to accommodate changing
rooms, toilets, storage and
meeting space.
Six million dollars of the total
project cost will come from
development contributions, with
the majority funded by the council
through targeted rates.
Once the project is completed,
Foster Park will be the largest
sport and recreation park in the
district.
Extension for quarry
hearing process
THE DEADLINE for the
public hearing process over the
contentious quarry consent
application between Weedons and
Templeton has been extended.
Originally, the hearing for
Fulton Hogan’s proposed Roydon
Quarry had to be completed
within 75 working days of the
submission period closing (the
deadline was October 10).
Fulton Hogan has requested
Environment Canterbury and the
district council extend the time
frame for the hearing – which the
district council and Environment
Canterbury agreed with.
The hearings process now does
not have to be completed until
January 23. The reasons for the
extension was to allow time for
all parties to prepare, review and
respond to evidence prior to the
hearing and allow for a robust prehearing
process for all parties.
Both council have made a recommendation
the hearing begins
on November 18 – this is yet to
be granted.
Public submissions that have
been collected in relation to the
applications will be discussed at
the hearing and decisions on the
proposed quarry will be made.
The hearing is likely to be

lengthy, with 170 submitters to

Meanwhile, the commissioners
for the hearing have been
appointed.
The district council finalised
the three-person panel at its
meeting last week.
It will be made up of Sharon
McGarry, Paul Thomas and
chaired by Rob van Voorthuysen.
Mr van Voorthuysen has been
chosen as chairman because of
his experience in leading large

including Environment Canterbury’s
Land and Water Regional
Plan.
He has acted as an independent
commissioner for more than
275 hearings and has served as a
chairman for 180 of them.
Ms McGarry is ECan’s appointed
commissioner.
She has expertise in deciding
regional council consents and in
dealing with planning and technical
issues.
Mr Thomas has been appointed
by the district council. He has
particular experience in the
planning and technical issues
associated with district council
consents.

Accused gunman’s fuel

SELWYN TIMES
Fire rages, homes at risk
stop caught on CCTV
• By Barry Clarke and
Louis Day
POLICE HAVE searched CCTV
security camera footage to follow
the accused mosque gunman
on his route from Dunedin to
Christchurch on March 15.
It includes security footage
from an Oamaru service station
where he stopped for fuel.
But police are refusing to say
whether the vehicle was carrying
explosives which were found
when he was apprehended after
the attacks on the Al Noor
Mosque on Deans Ave and
Linwood Islamic Centre.
The accused gunman’s vehicle
was rammed to a stop on
Brougham St, Sydenham. Two
armed Selwyn police constables
got him out of the vehicle and he
was handcuffed.
Explosives were in the vehicle.
A Z Oamaru service station
staff member said they found out
later they had served the accused
gunman, but they were not
allowed to give any more details.
Z head office would also not
comment.
When asked if there was
a risk to the public from the
explosives when the accused
gunman stopped for fuel in
Oamaru, police said: “While
the investigation is ongoing,
we are not in a position to go
into specifics around those
enquiries. The matter is now
before the courts and we will
not be jeopardising any future
prosecution,” a spokeswoman
said.
Police have used CCTV footage
from many locations between
Dunedin and Christchurch to
follow the accused gunman’s
journey, which is part of the
evidence for the prosecution case.
The accused gunman has
pleaded not guilty to 51 murder
charges, 40 attempted murder
charges and one terrorism
charge. A High Court trial is
scheduled for May next year.
ECOSYSTEM: The fragile vegetation and soil at Greenpark Sands near Lake Ellesmere is
being damaged by vehicles.

arrested by two Selwyn constables on Brougham St.

CONSERVATIONISTS are
concerned over the damage
vehicles are causing at Greenpark
Sands near Lake Ellesmere.
Waihora Ellesmere Trust
members frequent the area
and were shocked by state of
the reserve. General manager
Denise Ford
said vehicles
are having a big
impact on the
fragile area.
“Not only do
many vehicle
tracks criss-cross
the area, but
Denise Ford
also it is evident
that some people
are doing donuts and other acts
that cause damage to the fragile
vegetation and soils.”
Ms Ford hopes the Department
of Conservation, iwi and the
community can work towards
protecting the sensitive area.
“Greenpark is an ecologically
significant area. It is badly in
need of information signage
and ways of stopping hooligans
from entering onto the sands.
Sadly previous signs erected by
DOC have been vandalised and
destroyed.”
Greenpark Sands is a DOC
reserve which runs along
the north-west shore of Lake
Ellesmere. It is considered one
of the top five locations in New
Zealand for viewing wetland
birds, including arctic waders.
DOC senior
living water
ranger Robin
Smith said
some of Lake
Ellesmere’s
wetlands
are taking a
hammering from
off-road vehicles. Robin Smith
“The impact
of vehicles – four-wheel-drives,
quad bikes, light utility vehicles
– has resulted in substantial loss
of low stature native saltmarsh
vegetation, soil erosion and at
times disturbance to wading
birds,” Mr Smith said.
DOC will be working with
Ngai Tahu, Fish and Game, the
district council and landowners
to address the issues and identify
practical solutions, he said.

Bus service
trials extended
TRIAL COMMUTER bus services
in Darfield and Leeston have been
extended until the end of October.
The Leeston service is also being
extended to include Southbridge
from Monday.
The number of users for both
services remained relatively steady
through May, with an average of
around 45 boardings per day on the
Darfield service and around 30 per
day on the Leeston service.
Environment Canterbury senior
manager public transport Stewart
Gibbon said that funding has been
made available through the Environment
Canterbury Annual Plan
to allow the trial services for at least
the next four months.
“It’s encouraging to see the strong
level of support from the Selwyn
community to continue these services,”
he said.
“We’re happy to confirm they will
continue to be provided on a trial
basis, meaning that we are likely
to test out different options to see
further growth in patronage, particularly
for the Leeston service.”
This will involve extending
the Leeston service to and from
Southbridge. Environment
Canterbury’s public transport team
is working now on confirming the
exact route extension to Southbridge
and the timing for implementation
of this and will inform the
community as soon as possible.
Bid to boost response team
• By Devon Bolger
THE DARFIELD Community
Response Team was formed
quickly after the 2010 earthquake
when it became clear there was
a need for better emergency
management.
“A few respected members of
the community started
thinking that we need a
group to help in these kinds
of situations,” team leader
Andrea Horton-Gaskin
said.
Since then the group
has grown to include 22
members.
The team’s job is to bridge the
gap between the district council
and the community during an
emergency.
Ms Horton-Gaskin said they
play a critical role when needed.
“Darfield is quite isolated and
far away from where the council
is based so we rely heavily on our
members to set up emergency
centres and to manage the early
stages.”
But the Darfield Community
Response Team is struggling to
find volunteers.
“We want to increase our
number of street contacts we have
because in an emergency we will
be based at the community centre
and won’t be able to be on the
ground.
Sue Jenkins
“We need people to report
back to us on the situation and
to check in with neighbours and
things like that, we just don’t have
enough of them,” Ms Horton-
Gaskin said.
The response team is hosting
a high tea next weekend in an
attempt to drum up more
members and to thank
their current ones.
Community resilience
co-ordinator Sue Jenkins
manages the community
response teams for the
district council.
She said the Darfield
team is incredibly vital in an
emergency and new members are
always needed.
“They are critical to keeping
Darfield connected and informed
during a disaster or emergency,”
Ms Jenkins said.
She said she encourages
everyone to get involved.

Have you thought about
fostering a child?
We are looking for people in the Christchurch area who are willing to
open up their home to *Matt. He needs a home that can provide him
with support, care and unconditional love and guidance in a clear, fair
and consistent way. Matt is looking for caregivers who enjoy outdoor
activities and have a spacious yard.
Matt is an enthusiastic, funny and
curious 16-year-old boy who is
looking for a long-term home. He
has overcome many challenges in
his life and has grown immensely
from these experiences. He has a
strong need for belonging which he
has rarely had. He is kind, helpful,
and eager to get on well with other
people. He also loves outdoors,
biking, Minecraft and animals.
Matt has an amazing sense of humour, although requires support to
express his feelings and needs. Matt is currently working on building
positive relationships and will require ongoing support.
We welcome carers who have the time, energy and the ability to
provide a loving home. These are the most important things we look
for in our foster carers. We will provide ongoing and intensive clinical
and financial assistance as well as training to all our carers to ensure
they always feel supported and enabled to do their best.
Fostering a child in need is challenging but truly rewarding. As a carer,
you’ll provide consistent and responsive support and attention to help
them make sense of their world.

will travel to

Selwyn United under-13s to take
on world’s best at futsal champs
• By Jacob Page
THE SELWYN United Red
and White under-13 futsal
team will head to the world
championships in Florida this
week eager to cause an upset.
The team qualified for the
championships by winning the
Craig Foster Cup tournament
on the Gold Coast in January.
They will face teams from
high-profile clubs, such as
Barcelona as well as LA Galaxy
and DC United from the United
States, in the indoor version of
football.
Matches will be broadcast
globally on ESPN and the
event will be the largest
international youth futsal
tournament in the world.
Head coach Benji Lapslie said
he can’t wait for the boys to get
out on the court in Florida.
“Over the last six months,
many hours of hard work has
been put in by these lads to have
the best opportunity to succeed
on the international stage. From
a coaching point of view, I have
given them the tools to go away
and put New Zealand on the
futsal globe. For the kids, it’s
an opportunity of a life time to
succeed and have the chance to
play teams ranked No 1 in the
world.”
Lapslie, who is a New Zealand
futsal representative himself,
said he wants his team to
embrace the pressure of the
tournament.
“Having played on the
international stage myself, I am
aware how raw emotion can
take control, so keeping them
calm and relaxed will be the
biggest test.”

Henrietta also competed at the
Oceania road championships in
March, where she finished third
in the junior women’s individual
time trial. But she said domestic
racing is likely to be her major
focus this year.
“I’m really focusing my
efforts domestically this year
because I’m too young for the
international opportunities I was
looking at,” she said.
Henrietta is taking on older
riders for the first time in the
South Island Calder Stewart
Racing Series and has proved
more than capable. After three
of six rounds, she is setting the
pace in the under-19 category
and is second overall in the elite
women’s category.
“It’s been a learning experience
for me, racing against women has
definitely been more physically
demanding than what I’m used to
racing at secondary school level.”
The series now takes a break
before returning for round four
in Nelson on September 26.
Henrietta said she will continue
to train hard, clocking up 250km
a week on the bike.

Whopping spending growth
for strong economy
Selwyn’s economy has continued its strong growth backed by a “whopping” increase in tourist
and local spending, according to latest economic data.
The latest quarterly economic monitor from analysts Infometrics showed the Selwyn economy
continued to grow well ahead of national and regional averages.
The report showed Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in Selwyn increasing at 4.9% in the
year to March 2019 compared to 2.5% growth nationally and 1.6% growth across Canterbury.
Selwyn had the largest increase in spending by tourists nationally, up 13.2% for the year, with
tourists spending $117 million in the district. It also highlighted a 13.6% increase in electronic
card transactions to $89.2 million.
Council Community Services and Facilities group manager Denise Kidd says the figures reflect the
positive growth the Council has seen.
“They’re confirming to us what we know, that Selwyn is a great place to visit, to live and
to do business.”
The growth in commercial building consents continued strongly with the Council issuing 39
new commercial building consents in the first three months this year. In contrast, building by
businesses in the wider Canterbury region slowed over the same period.
Unemployment also stayed at 2.2%, unchanged from the same time last year and almost half the
national average of 4.3%.
Mayor Sam Broughton says the strong figures were a positive reflection of the continuing
development and maturing of the district’s economy.
“The report shows how we’re taking advantage of the rapid growth that continues in Selwyn. It’s
particularly positive to see visitor and tourism spend increase which helps bring diversity to our
economy and highlights what a great place we are to visit and stay.”
Steps taken in Lincoln Town Centre Plan
Preparation for the Lincoln Town Centre development has taken a significant step forward with the
Council’s purchase of a property on Gerald Street.
The Council has secured a key site at 5 Gerald Street, which sits at the entrance to the proposed east
retail precinct.
It hopes to demolish the building, currently occupied by Lincoln Chinese Takeaway, before the end of
the year as the first step in opening up the retail precinct area and transforming the street appeal, says
Property group manager Douglas Marshall.
“This is the first major step in making something new that people in Lincoln have been looking forward to
for a while. There’s been interest from people in Lincoln over many years in doing some new with that site
and this was an opportunity to open up the space with a fresh welcoming area to the new town centre.”
The Council is considering options for the space including a park or reserve, Mr Marshall says.
The building’s current tenant was already looking for a new location for the business nearby, and the
Council is supporting them by offering a flexible lease until it is able to move. No work will begin until
the building is vacant.
The town centre plan, adopted by the Council in 2016 after extensive community consultation, will
develop public spaces and squares, provide for safe cycling and walking connections along with
adequate car parking and promote ‘active frontage’ with buildings placed to the edge of the footpath
and facing the street with car parking behind.
The design of the Gerald Street Plaza at the eastern end of Gerald Street around Robert Street
proposes widening the pavement to create a pedestrian plaza along the shop fronts with different
paving, street furniture and landscaping.
Redevelopment of the 5 Gerald Street site will allow this to occur more easily and in keeping with the
rest of the town centre design.
New Zealanders welcomed home
From Vladivostok to Christchurch, journeys were shared as 26 New
Zealanders were welcomed home last week.
The group from 11 different nationalities shared their stories of how
they came to call New Zealand home as they became New Zealand
citizens in the Council’s monthly citizenship ceremony.
Each new citizen spoke of how they came to call New Zealand home,
but there was a homecoming of a different kind for Tyler Hokianga.
Raised in Australia, Mr Hokianga told the room it was a visit to
see his parents back here in New Zealand that sparked a desire to
embrace his Kiwi heritage and officially become a Kiwi.
Nine of the group spoke about intending to visit New Zealand for
a short time on holidays, work or study and finding their partner.
Among them was Candice Trumper from South Africa.
“The one thing my father told me before I came was not to take up
with any Kiwi boys. Well, we fell in love.”
Others spoke of falling in love with the country and the way of life.
Originally from Sri Lanka, Lincoln University law lecturer Santiago
Ekaratne came to New Zealand for the lifestyle after studying and
working as a lawyer in Washington DC. “That was fun but I didn’t
get much sleep.”
Nina Kozhevnikova from Vladivostok in Russia who came for an
adventure and to visit family after her husband died, and Douglas
Dorrian, who moved from Scotland to South Africa before settling
here, also for adventure.
“New Zealand is such a great country for all the opportunities we
have – cycling, jumping off things, every day it’s great to be here.”
One of the loudest cheers of the night came for Celestina Ponseka,
who moved from the Philippines to New Zealand for work and soon
convinced her family to join her.
“I wanted to bring my husband and daughter here to show them
how beautiful New Zealand is.”

tourism facility upgrades
Tourists and Selwyn residents will find comfort stops more
comfortable with new public toilets, upgraded systems and new
caravan dump stations to be built around the district.
This week the government announced Tourism Infrastructure Fund
support to expand the Lakeside Domain toilet facilities and upgrade
the waste water system at Coes Ford.
It is the latest in a series of upgrades to facilities around the district.
The Council has completed a new public toilet block in Dunsandel,
four new caravan dump sites, upgrades to two more and upgrades
to the Arthur’s Pass public toilet. Upgrades to the facilities in Kowai
Pass Domain and Rakaia Gorge are also under way.
The projects all received support from the Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
The new stand-alone four-pan toilet block in Dunsandel cost
$185,700 and has been built in front of the domain. Property group
manager Douglas Marshall says the location by the domain was to
support travelling public and users of the domain and provides safer
parking for cars, trucks and buses.
“The old toilet block will be closed and removed in a couple of
weeks’ time when it’s clear the new toilet is working satisfactorily,”
Mr Marshall says.
The four dump stations for caravans to empty waste have been
installed at Leeston, Tai Tapu, Lake Coleridge and Glentunnel, while the
dump stations at Kowai Reserve in Springfield and Rakaia Gorge have
been upgraded. The total cost for the dump stations was $90,000.
The new facilities and upgrades were important as tourism continues
to grow in the district, Mr Marshall says.
“With visitor numbers on the rise it’s a good time to make sure our
infrastructure is ready and to make the district even more attractive
to visitors.”

Springston march into semis and
• By Jacob Page
SPRINGSTON WILL be
favourites but they are unlikely to
have it all their own way if they
want to lift the Coleman Shield in
a fortnight.
Springston beat Hornby 33-12
on Saturday, booking top spot in
the Ellesmere competiton, and
will face Darfield in a semi-final
on Saturday.
Darfield, which easily beat
Rolleston 51-12 in the final
round and knocked defending
champions Waihora out in
the process, only lost 21-20 to
Springston a month ago in their
round-robin clash.
In the other semi-final,
Southbridge, fresh off a shock
35-35 draw against West Melton,
will host Lincoln at Southbridge
Domain. Lincoln beat Burnham
Dunsandel Irwell 28-17 in the
final round and are the only team
to beat Springston in a Coleman
Shield encounter which ended
21-20.
Southbridge will be quietly
confident of their chances of
making the final after beating
Lincoln by 15 points a month
ago.
Springston coach Anton
Sutherland said their confidence
is high heading into the semis.
“The guys are playing some
really good footy and it’s just a
case of keeping them confident
mentally going into the big
games.

Waihora miss out
“I think we’re going better
than we were 12 months ago
and that comes from a lot of the
guys knowing what to do in the
pressure moments,” Sutherland
said.
Darfield had to beat
Rolleston to book their spot
in the playoffs and did so
convincingly 51-12, thanks to
a hat-trick from Haigh Jebsen
and two tries to Michael
Brankin.
Sutherland said their semifinal
will likely come down to
an attacking battle between
both teams’ back three.
“(Darfield) are very explosive
on attack, especially at the back,
and so are we, but I think that
was an area where they shaded
us last time,” he said.
Lincoln co-coach Kris
Partridge said the round-robin
clash with Southbridge was
probably their worst game of
the season.
“Southbridge wanted that
game more. They were more
physical than us and outpassioned
us,” he said.
“We have to embrace the
challenge of this and since
they’re coming in off a draw,
hopefully that’ll give us
some confidence because up
until then they’ve been redhot.”
Waihora saw their top four
chances vanish as they were
thumped 35-10 by Prebbleton.

Desperation gets
win for Lincoln Uni
Jim Doyle reports on
Lincoln University’s game
against Shirley
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY made
the top-four in metro senior
rugby with a desperate 23-15
win over Shirley at Lincoln on
Saturday.
THe two will meet in a semifinal
this week after they finished
two and three on the table.
The cavalry arrived in the nick
of time for the Rams. Cullen
Grace and Fletcher Newell from
New Zealand under-20 duty and
recuperation. Harrison Courtney
and Callum Burrell back in the
saddle after injury.
You could almost smell the
intensity in the air as the Rams
went about their task with a grim
determination.
Courtney was primed and
pumped. So too was the powerfully
built Newell. The lad from
Rangiora scored an imposing
“Willie-Away” try off a Josh
Bokser lineout take after 29min.
Bokser had scored the first try at
the 5min mark by charging down
a clearing kick, something he did
against Marist Albion earlier in
the season.
LU had plenty of penalties in
the first half and Sam Gilbert
made Shirley pay three times.
But hey we’re talking about the
SPORT
first half here. After the break it
was more like Custer’s Last Stand.
The Rams were fighting for their
lives. Shirley spent long minutes
pounding away at the LU line in a
series of surges that had the Rams
reeling.
The visitors had two tries out
of it but probably deserved more.
Then again, LU’s last-ditch defenders
got through an enormous
amount of work.
Players from both sides were
out on their feet towards the end.
Surely there have never been so
many cramp attacks in a rugby
game.
Impressive Shirley No. 8 Siua
Maile had a great chance late in
the game with an almost open
field looming in front of him.
He pulled up lame with just one
exhausted defender to beat and
LU’s cover struggling under the
strain.
Scorecard: Lincoln
University 23 (Josh Bokser,
Fletcher Newell tries; Sam
Gilbert 2 conv, 3 pen) beat
Shirley 15 (Jayden Pearce,
Siua Maile tries; Cullen
Moody conv, pen).

Wine
SELWYN TIMES
Embracing the blend – it’s a matter of balance
• By Mark Henderson
THIS ASSORTMENT of wine
eschews the concept of single
variety wines in favour of
embracing the blend.
It is all a matter of balance
and synergy, where two, three
or more ingredients can create
a complete whole, while the
freedom of the blend allows
wine-makers to experiment and
‘’have a little fun’’.
Pegasus Bay’s Sauvignon
Semillon and Millton’s Les Trois
Enfants are old hands at this
game, while the new Vergence
typifies the test-bed approach,
with the Untitled range marrying
a diverse, multi-vintage, region
and variety approach).
2016 Pegasus Bay
Sauvignon Semillon
Price: $32
Rating: Excellent
Matchstick and a little wild
yeast funk soon blow off leaving
ripe pear, pea and grassy hints.
Powerful fruit offers breadth on
the palate, pear, pea pod, citrus,
sweetly fruited yet dry, a little
chalky grip a counterpoint to
the fruit. A zesty tangy element
runs like a laser beam through
the wine, to the delightfully long
finish that hangs in the
mouth.
A lovely food choice.
www.pegasusbay.com
2017 Millton Les Trois
Enfants Co-fermentation
Price: $21
Rating: Very good to
excellent
Surprisingly evolved colour
yet a fragrant and complex nose
of honey, citrus, roses and hints
of Turkish delight. The nose
suggests sweetness but this is
dry; the silky and supple palate
offering dry honey and musk,
orange zest, grilled grapefruit
and a bittersweet almond note
on the fresh, lifted finish.
Beguiling, intriguing and
rather fascinating.
www.millton.co.nz
2016 Vergence White by
Pegasus Bay
Price: $27
Rating: Very good to excellent
Somewhat subtle nose, struck
match, smoke and bramble, a
little wildness too. A game of
two halves perhaps, as the palate
is bold with intense grapefruit,
orange, mandarin, dried herbs
and nuts.
There’s complexity on this
finely balanced, silky palate; a
zesty rush of acidity on the close
keeps this clean as a whistle,
while time sees an attractive
chewiness evolve.

NV Untitled Pink Blend
Price: $20
Rating: Excellent
Multi region and variety blend.
Youthful, fresh and complex
nose of strawberry, apple skin,
citrus peel, peach and wine gum.
Creamy and attractive palate of
mixed berries apple and musk
moving into some savoury notes.
Delightfully, bright and zesty, dry
finish that hangs in your mouth.
NV Untitled White Blend
Price: $25
Rating: Very good
Multi vintage, variety and
region blend. Fragrant nose
that evokes tropical fruit salad.
Creamy entry, a crisp, fresh
palate with notes of cooked
apple, pip fruits, toffee and
a refreshing, ripe grapefruit
character that gives zestiness.
Fresh and appealing drinking
with a little wisp of salinity on
the finish that gets the salivary
glands going.
NV Untitled Red Blend
Price: $30
Rating: Excellent
Intriguing multi vintage, multi
region and multi variety wine
with a nose of red fruits, malt
biscuits, wild herbs and a tangy,
resiny note. This nods its hat to
Europe, its tanginess and juicy,
crunchiness suggesting a Kiwi
Beaujolais.
Fresh, bright, vibrant, nicely
balanced with an appealing
bittersweet element before
flowing to a cool, dry finish.

Gardening
Winter conditions require different techniques
TYPICAL WINTER conditions
now dominate with frosts, chilly
prevailing winds, wet and cold
soil – hardly inviting gardening
weather.
However, the gloom of winter
is ‘lightened’ by the appearance
of flowers on azaleas, camellias,
daphne, early flowering
rhododendrons and the first of
the flowering cherries ‘Prunus
campanulate’.
Houseplants
A reminder not to overwater
your houseplants in winter, some
plants require watering only once
a week. A light misting of indoor
plants with lukewarm water helps
prevent leaves from drying in
heated indoor conditions, you
may need to shift your houseplants
during the winter months
as parts of the house can become
too dark for healthy growth.
Vegetable garden
Continue harvesting winter
maturing vegetables, artichoke
(Jerusalem), broccoli, brussells
sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers,
carrots, celery, leeks, lettuce,
parsnips, peas, silverbeet, spinach
and swedes. Spread compost
around maturing vegetables as
this helps absorb excess water
during winter downpours and
eventually improve the soil. By
raising vegetable plots drainage is
enhanced and vegetable growth
improved.
Flowering annuals
Winter flowering annuals
should now be providing masses
of colour in your garden and
containers. Remove dead flowers,
‘deadheading’ from the plants to
encourage continuous blooming
throughout winter. Flowering
annuals for winter display include
ageratum, calendulas, cineraria,
cornflower, nemesias, pansies,
poppies, primulas, snapdragon,
stock and sweet pea.
Fruit trees
After completing the annual
pruning of fruit trees, spray with
Copper Oxychloride to reduce
the possibility of fungal disease
reappearing in spring. Kiwifruit
can now be pruned as all the fruit
have been harvested. In warmer
areas a number of citrus are now
ripening, mandarins, lemons,
limes, grapefruit and early oranges.
Complete any plantings of
new pip and stone fruit trees.
COLD HANDS: July is the time to dig plenty of compost into
the soil and to prune plants.
Ornamental trees and
shrubs
Garden centres now have the
widest range of trees and shrubs.
July is a very ‘safe’ month for
planting so prepare individual
planting sites thoroughly with
plenty of compost.
Roses
Complete your annual rose
pruning, spray with Copper
Oxychloride after pruning. Plant
new specimens where required
as garden centres have excellent
supplies in July. Plant into wellprepared
soil to which compost
has been added. Prune your new
plants to outward facing buds
before planting.
Container gardens
Potted colour (winter annuals
grown to the flower stage) brightens
up a dreary winter garden
and provides an instant flowering
effect. Always use a good quality
container mix or potting mix.
Lawns
A quiet month for lawn
maintenance, but an excellent
time to have the blades on your
mower sharpened. Check for
wet areas in your lawn that will
require remedial drainage work
in summer.

Small bee with a very important future
OUR SMALLEST native bees
are called sweat bees, which
belong to the family Halictidae.
THe most common of
these bees is the 4-6mm long
Lasioglossum sordidum. These
species are the second most
common of all our native bees.
With long wings compared to
body size and moderately hairy
bodies, they have a fly-like
appearance.
Males have longer and thinner
abdomens compared to the
females, but both are black in
colour. Although Lasioglossum
sordidum have short tongues for
foraging, their small size allows
bees into a high proportion of
flowers.
Females have been recorded
foraging on 139 flowering
species. Although this bee is
considered a solitary species,
they do sometimes forage from
the same nest, suggesting some
degree of social organisation.
Nests are usually found in
soil in flat, open areas with little
vegetation. Entrance holes are
1.5-2mm in diameter but head
almost vertically downwards up
to 400mm.
Oval-shaped cells radiate
horizontally. Adult bees live
between 6 to 8 weeks.
With the grave concerns of the
global decline of honeybees due
to climate change, pesticides,
diseases and pests such as the
Varroa mite, these small bees
will be very important for
delivering pollinating services in
the future.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Is waste
SELWYN TIMES
milk ok for
calves?
Waste milk has traditionally been fed to
calves to dispose of milk that can’t be sent
for supply, but is this a good idea? With
an increased focus on the responsible use
of antibiotics, questions are being asked
about waste milk’s value as a feed source
for calves, and the risks this practice might
pose to the wider environment.
Waste (or ‘red’) milk is the milk
produced by lactating cows when they’re
sick and receiving antimicrobial treatment
for diseases such as mastitis. It also applies
to the milk produced in the withholding
period, which can be three to four days
after treatment.
Bacterial growth and
antibiotic resistance
Exposing a bacterial population (such
as the calf ’s developing digestive tract)
to low concentrations of antibiotics may
encourage bacterial growth with existing
resistance genes. It could also lead to other
bacteria mutating and developing new
ways to resist antibiotics.
The risk is that calves consuming this
milk will shed antibiotic-resistant faecal
bacteria into the environment. This could
have unintended consequences for your
calves, and for the future usefulness of the
antibiotic.
This is backed up by a substantial review
published in the European Union in 2017.
The review found that shedding was more
pronounced for younger calves (two to
three weeks old), compared to six- to
seven-week-old calves.
Fortunately, this shedding wasn’t
observed in calves fed colostrum from
cows previously treated at dry-off with
long-acting dry cow antibiotic products.
Unfortunately, pasteurising waste milk
won’t deactivate the residues, as most
antibiotics are heat-stable.
Calf health and growth
Although there are few studies on this
aspect, it’s likely that antibiotic residues
would interfere with calves establishing
good gut bacteria, or that pathogens and
viruses from older, sick cows could infect
the young calf. If there are more antibioticresistant
bacteria present in the gut, these
issues would be harder to control.
Although waste milk may be a
convenient feed for calves, is it worth
the risk for the health of the replacement
calf, or to the environment? One thing is
certain – it cannot be fed to bobby calves,
as the calf ’s gut is likely to absorb the
antibiotic residues and cause the carcass to
be rejected.
Find out more about calf care at
dairynz.co.nz/calves
From DairyNZ senior scientist Jane Lacy-Hulbert
Myth:
It’s ok to feed waste
milk to calves, so long
as it doesn’t go to bobby
calves.
Busted:
It’s NOT ok to feed
waste milk to ANY
calves.

Research to enhance future
livestock production systems
Seven Lincoln University PhD students
are looking at using benefits from the
natural environment to enhance future
livestock production systems.
The team of researchers
want to provide better diets
and grazing environments
for cattle, sheep and deer
in the agricultural sector,
which will help improve the
animals’ lives.
Lincoln University
Livestock Production
Professor Pablo Gregorini,
who is supervising the
students, says the importance
of animal welfare cannot be
overstated.
“People who pay for meat,
and would pay more, want to
know the animals have a life
worth living.
“These students are putting
in a lot of hard work to
help provide farmers with
nutritional and grazing
management tools to enhance their
livestock’s good lives as much as possible,”
Prof Gregorini says.
PhD student Konagh Garrett, who has a
particular interest in nutritional ecology,
is looking at how a diverse, varied diet for
animals can positively affect welfare and
environmental impact, while maintaining
or increasing animal production.
“Animals get sick of eating the same
thing over and over again
and dietary monotony
has been shown to cause
more stress,” she says.
“I’m studying 20 sheep
and early signs show
that animals on more
diverse, varied diets are
performing better, eating
more and putting on
weight.”
She is using sheep and
deer as models.
One of Konagh’s
fellow PhD colleagues,
Matt Beck, is concerned
with increasing dietary
biochemical diversity
for livestock. He’s
working with Callaghan
Innovation and Agriseeds
on promoting better
health and nutrition for dairy cows, sheep
and deer.
“Sheep who were given a biochemical
extract have been shown to change their
dietary preference and eat a wider variety
of plants. This can have implications for
Pablo Gregorini, Lincoln
University Livestock
Production Professor
animals when designing future diets. We
can design animals in utero to create a
better relationship between the animal
and its diet in future multifunctional
landscapes,” Matt says.
Cristian Moreno, whose research focuses
on the hill and high country rangelands
of New Zealand, is interested in the use of
native vegetation for grazing beef cattle.
“The aim of my research is to improve
animals’ distribution to ensure a more
even grazing of the landscape, to reduce
pressure on most fragile habitats, such as
riparian areas,” he says. “I want to identify
different grazing personalities of Hereford
cows by using GPS-tracking collars.”
Ultimately, the aim is to tackle farmers’
concerns about caring for New Zealand’s
rangelands while producing natural beef
cattle.
“By selecting those animals that
naturally explore and graze thoroughly on
the mountainous terrain, we will allocate
the right animal to the right landscape.
“Better use of landscape increases
the performance of animals, enhances
rangelands health and provides more
ecosystem services for society and the
environment.”
Cristian has been granted research funds
from the Miss E.L. Hellaby Indigenous
Grasslands research Trust and received
support and collaboration from the New
Zealand Hereford Association.
Leo Rescia, supported by the deer
industry, is also working on developing
the idea of the “right animal in the right
place”, while Anita Fleming is investigating
how the use of fodder beet affects
animal welfare, production and systems
profitability.
Cameron Marshall is studying a
divergent genetic line for a trait in dairy
cows that leads to less nitrogen in urine.
“By investigating how this trait is
working, I can look at how systems might
be better optimised for animals, leading
to improved production and a reduced
environmental footprint.”
To round out the suite of projects, Prof
Gregorini has been working closely with
Brandon Dalton from Grasslands LLC in
Lees Valley Station.
They are working on new and innovative
grazing management in high country
stations to capture more carbon and
enhance grasslands health.

Strong styling from Mercedes-Benz coupe
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
MY THOUGHTS are that if you
are paying over $180k for a new
car you’d at least expect it to look
the part.
That is certainly what Mercedes-Benz
has done with its E
Class coupe line-up. Well, the
entire E Class series looks pretty
spectacular, it arrives here in
sedan, coupe and convertible, and
each has presence, its size, shape
and detailing combine to give an
overwhelming sense of purpose.
The latest generation E Class
has been around since 2016 and
I’ve driven three variants, culminating
in this evaluation, the E53
AMG coupe.
I’m very enthusiastic about
the turbocharged V8 engine that
powers many models in the Mercedes-Benz
AMG performance
range, that generally has the
nomenclature 63, and at around
$200k the sedan would probably
be my pick.
However, the E53 coupe is not
disgraced as it, too, is a true performance
vehicle. Under the bonnet
sits a twin-turbocharged V6
engine of 2999cc. That engine is
also carried across the Mercedes-
Benz range with varying outputs
and in each case has remarkable
sound through the exhaust. In
the E53 that sound is still there, it
barks and spits during gear shifts
both up and down. The constant
rumble out the pipes can’t quite
be heard to the same extent as it
is in the soft-top, but the coupe
definitely has an audible presence.
I simply love it, I was forever blipping
the throttle and forcing shifts
just to hear the boom and crackle.
In terms of power outputs,
Mercedes-Benz claims 320kW
and 520Nm. If you add to that the
constant turbocharged boost you
know you are in for some excitement
when the roads allow a bit
of freedom.
Mercedes-Benz also claims a
4.4sec standstill to 100km/h time,
and by my stopwatch it will lunge
through a highway overtake in
just under 4sec (80-120km/h).
These are impressive times, but fit
well with the sporty nature of the
coupe, it has the performance to
match its powerful looks.
Yet, the big coupe is also docile
when the roads don’t allow for
performance, it will dawdle the
city streets without taxing the
driver, indeed the entire driving
experience is one of comfort
and relaxation. So competent is
MERCEDES-BENZ E53 COUPE: Dynamic performance and looks.
it at speed that the driver doesn’t
need to work hard to maintain
momentum, everything the E53
does, it does with ease.
On a stormy early winter
weekend I took the evaluation car
to Windwhistle before returning
to the city through Hororata
and Dunsandel. I had intended
to go further west towards Lake
Coleridge power station, but the
roads were tricky with snow piled
to the sides and ice a major threat.
However, I felt at ease in the E53,
it is majorly competent because
drive is channelled through a
nine-speed automatic transmission
to all four wheels.
On the greasy wet roads it was
great to have the reassurance
4WD offers, grip is high, and
even though there was a lot of
water under the tyres they never
felt like they would lose traction.
What’s more the driveline feels
biased towards the rear, promoting
a sporty feeling, powering out
of a corner lends to the sensation
that oversteer would be available,
of course, you can’t break traction
thanks to the trick control
systems, but the car does provide
all of the feel-good factors that a
dynamic suspension and driveline
offer.
There are also suspension settings
the driver can dial in for
him/herself. That’s the beauty of
an air suspension set-up, the ride
is glorious, yet can be firmed or
softened at will. If you haven’t
driven a car which utilises air
underneath, then I suggest you
give it a try, it is the ideal compromise
for comfort and handling,
the cushioning effect is simply
amazing.
In AMG form the E53 is fully

specced with all of the upmarket
and luxury kit you’d expect for a
car of this price, they are all laid
out in the traditional Mercedes-
Benz style, the layout of the controls
is intuitive once familiar. It
also has the tweaks which provide
the performance factor, and that
is where the AMG badging comes
in, it adds to the dynamics of both
performance and looks.
As mentioned, if I was an E Class
buyer, I’d pay the extra $20k for sedan’s
V8 power and its five seats (as
opposed to four seats in the coupe).
However, don’t be misled, the E53
and its V6 engine represents true
performance and has the benefits
of beautiful styling. I’m a big coupe
fan, and I particularly enjoyed my
time in the evaluation car, the grace
with which it travels and the overall
design is something to surely
treasure.

Winter’s here...
clear the gutters and
keep them clean
Before clearing the gutter of any debris, it’s
best to securely block off the tops of any
downpipes with a large rag or old towel.
This prevents any of the collected sludge
being washed down and potential causing
a blocking. Beginning at one end, carefully
scoop out any leaves and sludge (either
with a purpose made gutter scoop or small
plastic trowel) and deposit the debris in a
bucket. Work your way along the length
of each section of guttering, emptying the
bucket as necessary. Once the guttering
is clear of mess, remove the rag or towel
and sluice the gutter with clean water,
scrubbing (if necessary) with a stiff-bristled
brush.
Once you’re satisfied the inside of the
gutter is clear and clean, use a preparatory
house or paint wash (diluted with
warm water to the recommended ratio)
to carefully scrub the guttering and
downpipes with a brush, rinsing off any
soapy residue with clean water. For any
really stubborn or unsightly areas of
mould, consider using a preparatory moss
and mould killer. While up the ladder,
do a routine check on the condition of
the guttering, ensuring that water runs
away freely and there are no splits, gaps in
the joints or broken brackets along each
section. Check also along the edge of the
roof for any potential maintenance issues
as now is the time to address any signs of
rust or other damage.
BLOCKED DRAINPIPES
Should the water not flow freely along the
guttering and exit via the downpipe, it
may be there’s a blockage in the downpipe
that will need clearing. Begin by carefully
feeding a garden hose down the top of the
drainpipe until it stops; then turn it on
full. This may be enough to dislodge the
blockage. Failing that, consider using a
length of strong wire or a thin rod to shift
the compacted debris. For truly stubborn
blockages, it may be necessary to remove
the downpipe completely. Beginning at the
bottom of the pipe, unscrew each bracket
and carefully remove the downpipe (or
each section, as necessary) and free the
inside of any blockage with a piece of
garden stake (or strong bamboo). sluice the
pipe out with running water. In extreme
cases it may be necessary to use a water
blaster. Once unblocked, replace the pipe,
screwing back the brackets in reverse
order.
PREVENTION
Prevention is better than cure so consider
placing plastic netting or mesh over
guttering to act as a filter and stop leaves
and other large debris causing a problem.
There are also a number of other custommade
gutter products on the market
including brush-like ‘whiskers’ and other
‘gutter guards’. Remember, however,
that even with these gutter protectors
you’ll still need to check your guttering
system annually to ensure run-off flows
freely. Small particles of dust and dirt can
still accumulate underneath any gutter
protector causing a build-up of sludge, and
inhibiting water flow, both of which can
lead to potential damage. If in doubt, seek
advice from your building professional.
TOP TIPS
Instead of blocking downpipes with
a rag or towel, consider installing a
water diverter on each. This purpose
made device is simple to fit and readily
diverts debris from the downpipe by
way of a plastic flap. When not being
used, the flap is clicked the other way,
and water will flow normally through
the pipe and into the drain.

Incorporating show homes
in your planning process
13
There are many things to think about when you’re
considering building a new home.
Browsing show homes is a fantastic way
to get you thinking about practicalities,
needs, aesthetics and your wish list! Here
are a few consideration’s to help spark your
planning process.
• What is your exterior style? What kind
of homes do you like? Look around and
take a mental note of what you are drawn
to most.
• What kind of exterior materials do you
like? Once you’ve worked out the look
you like, research what materials are
available and find out about durability.
• How will you use your house? It’s
important to most people to have a good
indoor/outdoor flow and attractive,
sheltered outdoor living. Imagine your
home in various seasons.
• Landscaping is important. Look around
and consider what you like and don’t like.
Are you a structured formal garden type
or do you like a contemporary native
style?
• Sustainability and future-proofing
aren’t just buzzwords anymore. It’s
very important for your new home to
be environmentally friendly. Research
insulation requirements, solar hot water
heating, ventilation options and new
technology to ensure your home will be
affordable to run.
• Interior décor is really exciting. This is
where show homes can really help you get
to know current trends, colours, beautiful
furnishings and furniture. Collect home
magazines and figure out what you’d love
to emulate.
• Also, pause to give thought to
architectural components inside. Do you
remember a raised ceiling? What kind of
finishing do top homes use and which
styles are you drawn to?
• Heating is also a consideration. Have a
look at what show homes are offering.
• Kitchens form the heart of the house.
Show homes give you insight into the
latest styles, materials and storage
facilities available.
• Bathrooms are another big component.
They need to be as luxurious as you can
make them, so start dreaming.
Kitchens form the heart of
the house. Show homes
give you insight into the

storage facilities available.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Design
perfection
Well thought out, is the best way to describe Online
Design and Build’s new showhome in Falcon’s Landing.
Encompassing the features desired in a
new build, along with a touch of flare, this
three-bedroom home is inviting while
practical.
Rather than adding a fourth bedroom,
Directors of Online Design and Build,
Canterbury South, Peter Hollow and
Linda Fowler chose to put more space
into the living area. The result is an
appealing 219sqm home.
Visiting this showhome will also afford
you the opportunity to assess how a
200-220sqm house sits on an 800sqm
section while inside, you will find many
interesting features; such as the feature
walls in both entry and lounge, created
through the continuation of the brick
veneer exterior walls.
Warm natural light floods through a
skylight into the interior kitchen, where a
slightly different approach has been taken
to the design of this important room.
The result is an appealing work space
complemented by a handy and good
sized walk-in pantry and generous island/
breakfast bar, beyond which is a spacious
dining/living area.
Scissor trusses run through the
complete living space with a comfortable
lounge/media room through double
doors to one side.
The home is well-appointed for the
sun with generous windows throughout,
capitalising on free energy and light. One
can easily imagine lazing away a day,
soaking up the sun streaming through
the large triple sliders in both lounge and
living rooms.
Inside the master bedroom there is a
feeling of a quiet haven where one might
escape, augmented by a plush ensuite and
walk-in robe.
Off the hallway and close to the living
area a separate toilet complete with
washbasin is ideally located for guests.
There is also a large storage cupboard
with sliders in the hall itself.
Along the hall, bedrooms two and
three have their own bathroom. The
design cleverly separates these with
the bathroom which in essence is three
rooms in one. It allows the vanity to
be available while others might use
the shower or freestanding bath (in a
separate room) or toilet (in yet another
room).
This home would suit parents who
want a degree of separation from their
teenagers, as well as empty nesters
seeking bedroom separation when people
stay over or so they can close off an area
of the home in the cooler weather. With
the second and third bedrooms in their
own part of the home, privacy is afforded
especially with the main bathroom
separating these two rooms.
Clad in Eurobrick Largo Arena and
Linea Oblique, Online Design and Build’s
Falcon Landing showhome sits well on its
section.
You can view Online Design &
Build’s new Rolleston showhome at 1
Amur Crescent, Falcon’s Landing from
Monday to Friday from 8.30am until
4.30pm and on weekends from 12noon
