FED-UP: Dunsandel Community Committee 

member Russell Dalzell is calling the lack of 

action over the Main South and Browns Rds 

intersection ‘not good enough.’

Committee member Russell 

Dalzell said the intersection of 

Main South and Browns Rds 

has been concerning locals for 

years. 

“It’s a real bottleneck intersection. 

Anybody travelling 

from the southern end to the 

northern end has to cross 

there,” he said. 

“There’s some speed signs 

right as you come through 

the town and they completely 

block your visibility at the 

intersection. They’re completely 

dangerous.”

Lincoln 

company’s 

bid to 

introduce 

e-scooters 


A LINCOLN-BASED company 

is taking on Lime to bring 

e-scooters to Selwyn. 

Angela and Phillip Eberhard 

have recently started a business 

named Lava Scooters. 

They have applied to the 

district council to operate 50 

e-scooters from 7-11am, seven 

days a week in Rolleston, Lincoln 

and Prebbleton. The application 

includes the possibility of 

expanding to 200 scooters in the 

future if successful and allowed. 

Mrs Eberhard said they are 

excited to be entering the 

market. 

“Being local and knowing 

this community and wanting to 

be a part of that is exciting,” she 

said. 

“Lime is big and that’s probably 

more of a risk for us but I think 

working and living in this area 

makes it more enjoyable and we’re 

just hoping the community will 

get behind us.” 

There are some safety features 

that set them apart from Lime, 

Mrs Eberhard said.

ANOTHER SIGN the district is growing 

at a quick rate – more e-scooters. 

On page 1 today, we reveal Lincoln 

couple Angela and Phillip Eberhard have 

set up Lava Scooters. 

They have applied to the district council 

to operate 50 e-scooters in and between Lincoln, Rolleston and 

Prebbleton, creating competition for Lime which could also get 

under way in Rolleston in December. 

Having said that, the odd Lime scooter has already invaded 

the district. Usually you will see them abandoned on a Saturday 

or Sunday morning, probably the transport mode of choice for 

a long ride home from Christchurch after an ale or seven. 

Probably also cheaper than a cab or an Uber, and with a full 

head of steam on board who is worried about the temperature?

Figures show housing 

market in hibernation over winter 


THE WINTER blues could 

be putting a dampener on the 

housing market in Selwyn. 

The Real Estate Institute of 

New Zealand’s latest monthly 

property report shows the 

volume of houses sold in the 

district has dropped 29 per cent 

in the last month and 12.3 per 

cent in the last 

year. 

Harcourts 

Lincoln principal 

officer James 

Twiss said the 

figures are 

affected by the 

James 

Twiss 

seasons. 

“With winter 

hitting, people 

tend to be less active when it 

comes to buying and selling 

homes. There is also that a lot 

less people have been listing 

homes for sale,” he said. 

“Volumes will definitely be 

lower for not only this month, 

but probably for the next three 

months.” 

The report also shows the 

median house price in the 

district has dropped by 3.6 per 

cent since this time last year. 

It now sits at $568,000, 

Hon Amy Adams 

MP for Selwyn 

Working hard for our communities 

compared to $589,000 last year. 

Mr Twiss said the drop could 

be due to a number of factors. 

“The main factor may be that 

the number of new properties 

being sold may have been less 

in this period, and as new built 

homes tend to command a 

higher price than already built 

stock, this would certainly lower 

the median price.” 

With the lack of listings, sales 

volumes could stay lower than 

2019 

last year for a few months, he 

said. 

“But as the number of listings 

increases, I would assume 

sales volumes will also. Price 

trends are another question and 

unless interest rates increase 

or inflation kicks in, I can’t see 

house prices moving upwards a 

lot in the next few months.”

a long-term housing plan

Council to assess 

all safety concerns 

•From page 1 

“Such as having a reduced 

speed limit within the town 

centres called courtesy zones. 

We also know there 

are concerns about 

State Highway 1 but we 

will be geo-fencing the 

scooters so they begin to 

slow down when out of 

bounds.” 

District council group 

manager regulatory 

services Tim Harris said 

district council staff 

will now assess Lava’s 

proposal to make sure 

all safety concerns are 

addressed. 

Mr Harris said a 

report will then be 

presented to councillors 

once all evaluations 

have been completed 

and the property and 

commercial team 

have prepared a lease 

agreement for the use of 

council space. 

“The lease agreement 

affixes a dollar value 

for rental of space if it is 

required. The lease agreement 

will most likely set out the rules 

and requirements of the trial 

too.” 

The district council will then 

vote on both Lime and Lava’s 

proposals at the same 

time. 

“We need to make 

sure that all the issues 

have been addressed 

through a robust 

process before the 

report is finalised 

and it will only go to 

council to vote on once 

this has happened” 

In May district 

councillors voted to 

give Lime Scooters a 

six-month trial once 

it has worked with 

council staff on safety 

concerns. 

Lime’s proposal is 

to introduce 200 

scooters in Rolleston 

only. 

If all of the issues 

discussed at the May 

council meeting have 

been addressed to 

the satisfaction of 

the council, e-scooters could 

be operating for a trial period 

beginning in December, Mr 

Harris said.

TranzAlpine in spotlight 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

Peter Neale 

THE TRANZALPINE will 

feature in a British-made 

documentary series The World’s 

Most Scenic Railway Journeys. 

London-based BriteSpark 

Films will document the 

TranzAlpine which operates 

from Christchurch to 

Greymouth in one episode of the 

six-part series. 

A film crew 

has booked to 

stay in Arthur’s 

Pass where 

they will also 

film the people 

who live there 

and the worldfamous 

keas. 

West Melton 

man Sam 

Mackwell, who has spent more 

than four years creating a new 

type of steam train will feature 

in the international documentary. 

The Mackwell Locomotive 

Company director has been 

developing a boiler for a sustainable 

steam locomotive to run on 

wood rather than coal. 

Mr Mackwell said being part 

of the documentary is a good 

opportunity to introduce new 

technology. 

“I believe it has a lot of poten-

tial for reducing or eliminating 

carbon dioxide emissions in the 

future,” he said. 

The historic Arthur’s Pass 

and Springfield railway stations 

will also feature heavily in the 

documentary, the Selwyn Times 

understands. 

National Geographic magazine 

rated the TranzAlpine as one of 

the most scenic railway journeys 

in the world in 2017. 

Arthur’s Pass Alpine Motel 

owner Peter Neale said the company 

had booked into the motel 

on Monday and Tuesday. 

“I think it is awesome. It has 

quite often been in the top 10 

with reviews but the top six is 

even more impressive,” he said. 

Springfield Railway Station 

Cafe leaseholder Heather Valphy 

SELWYN TIMES 

said she thought the filming 

would take place on Saturday but 

it had not been confirmed 

“They are very interested in 

the Barrys Bay cheese platters 

we make for the train and they 

are using that as a different 

perspective rather than the usual 

historic take on railway trips,” 

she said. 

Springfield and Arthur’s Pass 

railway stations both have long 

histories. 

The Springfield station was established 

in the 1880s operating 

in the centre of the township. In 

1923, it was moved to its current 

location off King St before it was 

rebuilt using pink summerhill 

stone in 1966 after it burnt down. 

In Arthur’s Pass, the first station 

was built in 1914 but was 

rebuilt in 1923 with the opening 

of the Otira Tunnel and completion 

of the Midland Line. 

The station was destroyed by 

fire in 1963. The present structure 

was completed in 1966. 

Selwyn Times has learnt the 

documentary would likely air 

on British television network 

Channel 4. 

The film company is also 

planning to document a historic 

locomotive at the Canterbury 

Steam Preservation Society 

based at McLeans Island.

Sediment trap plan to 

make Coes Ford swimmable again 


COES FORD is the focus of a 

plan to make the Selwyn River 

swimmable again. 

A plan for fencing, planting 

and reducing contaminants has 

been made and 

aims to increase 

the water quality 

at the ford and 

upstream. 

Environment 

Canterbury 

acting zone 

Andy Barbati 

manager central 

Andy Barbati 

said planning is under way for 

sediment traps to be set up in the 

ford. 

“These traps remove E.coli 

from both the water column 

and sediment. A site at Lower 

McGraths Creek has been 

confirmed so far,” he said. 

The next steps for the 

committee is to file consent 

applications for the traps, Mr 

Barbati said. 

He said the possibility of a 

wetland near Coes Ford is also in 

the works. 

“Taumutu Rūnanga, the 

district council, ECan and 

others have agreed to progress 

the concept of a wetland near 

Coes Ford. This is now in the 

preliminary scoping stage.” 

Swimmable Selwyn is part 

of the wider Canterbury Water 

Management Strategy which 

sees councils in the area working 

with ECan to manage and 

improve the region’s water. 

The Selwyn-Waihora zone 

committee – a joint committee 

with the district council, 

Christchurch City Council 

and ECan – is leading the 

project. 

Committee co-chairwoman 

Megan Hands said it is focused 

on Coes Ford because it is a 

much loved recreation area.

“We have received a strong 

message from the community 

that the river needs to be better 

looked after so we’ve made a 

road map for a healthier Selwyn 

River and to support projects 

in creeks and streams that 

ultimately feed into it. 

“It’s not just for Selwyn 

residents but for people all over 

Canterbury. It’s important that 

we get to have the Coes Ford we 

can all enjoy.” 

Earlier this year, about 300 

plants went into the ground

Wai-Ora Forest Landscapes and 

ECan. 

Ruminant and avian matter 

is present at the ford and it has 

high levels of E.coli and nitrate 

in the absence of rain. 

The main land use is farming, 

ranging from arable and 

horticulture to livestock and 

smaller holdings.

decline in the water quality at

DARFIELD IS set to get a new

Plans are in place to build 

an NPD station next to the 

Darfield Library and Service 

Centre. Resource and building 

consents have been granted for 

the redevelopment of the district 

council-owned site on South 

Tce/State Highway 73. 

It will initially be a self-serve 

station with six double-sided 

pumps. The district council will 

retain ownership of the land and 

lease it to NPD. Its construction 

would be undertaken and 

funded by NPD. 

NPD chief executive Barry 

Sheridan said motorists will 

enjoy lower fuel prices at the 

station. 

“Our self-serve model functions 

with lower operational and 

capital overheads. We’ve chosen 

Darfield as a strategic location 

to support the local farming and 

agricultural community with an 

affordable fuel option.” 

Construction is expected to 

start in the next few weeks and 

it is hoped the facility will be 

operating by the end of the year.

Tribute garment makes WOW finals 


THE GARMENT Leeston 

designer Loretta Sloan made as 

a tribute to the victims of the 

mosque shootings has landed her 

in the finals of the international 

World of Wearable Art show. 

Mrs Sloan said she got the idea 

after attending a memorial ceremony 

at the Al Noor Mosque. 

“Hundreds and hundreds of 

people were there paying tribute,” 

she said. 

“I went home that night and 

thought what can I do to give 

back? So I’m giving back to them 

as a form of art.” 

She engaged with the family 

of a victim who is still suffering 

from the attack and they helped 

her with aspects of the garment. 

“I just wanted to reach out to a 

family who was involved and let 

them know that I was planning 

this tribute.” 

“It was really lovely meeting 

them, listening to them and 

hearing their stories. It was a real 

emotional journey for me.” 

Mrs Sloan said she is incredibly 

proud that her garment will be 

shown on the international stage. 

“It’s not just about me, it goes 

to all the families involved and 

their friends. It extends out to 

everyone who has been affected.” 

She has continued to keep in 

touch with the victim’s family 

she worked with. 

“I let them know the garment 

made the finals and they were 

really happy, it felt like my hard 

work had paid off.” 

Mrs Sloan spent nearly 400 

hours constructing the garment 

from scratch, it is made of New 

Zealand wool. 

The final piece can’t be revealed 

until the World of Wearable 

Art show. 

About 60,000 people are 

expected to attend WOW’s 31st 

season in Wellington from 

September 26 to October 13. 

Mrs Sloan is one of two designers 

from Canterbury chosen 

to showcase her garment at the 

show amongst finalists from 22 

countries. 

Last year’s winner Tina 

Hutchinson-Thomas, 45, of St 

Albans also made the cut. 

This year she entered three 

pieces which follow the 

theme of mythology, and Mrs 

Hutchinson-Thomas said the 

design is based on shape and 

colour – but couldn’t reveal more 

than that. 

Mrs Hutchinson-Thomas once 

doubted whether she was arty 

enough for WOW – this is now 

her third year of entering the 

competition, and her third time 

being a finalist. 

Mrs Sloan has entered the 

show 10 times before. 

She said she hopes her success 

inspires other people in the community 

to give it a go. 

“It’s an honour to be accepted 

into the show and hopefully I

can inspire anyone who may 

have a creative urge to enter

She will be attending the show 

with her family and friends, Mrs 

Sloan said. 

“I’m really looking forward to 

it, it’s always great to see your 

designs on a worldwide stage, it’s 

a fantastic show and I encourage 

everyone to head along. 

“Every garment is special but 

I think this one in particular, 

because of the story behind it, 

means quite a lot to me.”

Another fake bank 

note surfaces in Lincoln 


A SECOND Lincoln business 

has fallen victim to a counterfeit 

money scam. 

The Kingfisher restaurant’s 

Rakesh Shetty said they’ve been 

left shocked after a fake $100 

note was used by a customer 

sometime in the last few weeks. 

“The worst part is we don’t 

even know exactly when it 

happened. I noticed last week 

when I tried to use the money 

somewhere else and ended up 

getting security called on me,” 

he said. 

“That’s when I realised what 

had happened but the note 

could have been sitting there for 

a while already.” 

Losing the money has been a 

blow to the business, Mr Shetty 

said. 

“It’s a lot of money and at the 

end of the day we work hard for 

our money like everyone else. 

It’s one of those situations where 

now that it’s happened we can’t 

do much.” 

Mr Shetty reported the 

incident to the police but said 

aside from advice on how to 

avoid the scam in the future, 

there isn’t anything they can do. 

“They want us to look through 

the cameras and if I knew the 

exact day it happened I could, 

but going through weeks 

of transactions looking for 

the person would be almost 

impossible.” 

The incident comes about 

a month after Selwyn Times 

reported $200 in counterfeit 

notes were used at Isushi in 

Lincoln. Shop manager Ben Yao 

said the store was targeted by 

two people using the notes. 

“A woman came in and paid 

with a $100 note, a few hours 

later a man came in and also 

paid with a $100 note,” he said. 

It follows a spate of counterfeit 

money in the Canterbury region 

this year. Since late-March, 

about 460 counterfeit notes with 

a face value of about $27,000 

have been circulating. 

Eight people have now 

been charged with using or 

possessing fake bank notes. 

Fast food outlets and service 

stations are mainly being 

targeted, a Reserve Bank 

spokesman said. 

The organised crime unit is 

investigating the use of the fake 

notes, which are made of paper, 

tear easily and have visible 

imperfections and missing seethrough 

windows. 

Detective Senior Sergeant

It is also close to Dunsandel 

School and is a safety risk to 

the children walking home, Mr 

Dalzell said. 

“We have been working with 

the New Zealand Transport 

Agency to try to come up with 

some solutions but we aren’t 

getting anywhere” 

NZTA figures show there were 

three crashes causing injury 

at the Browns Rd intersection 

between 2008 and 2017. 

Mr Dalzell said the statistic 

doesn’t surprise him. 

“There are a lot of unreported 

close calls and that is where I’m 

coming from. It shouldn’t take 

somebody being killed for them 

to do something.” 

An NZTA spokesperson said 

the agency is aware of community 

safety concerns around the 

intersection in Dunsandel. 

It is being considered as 

part of the SH1 Selwyn River 

to Ashburton work currently 

planned, the spokesperson said. 

The NZTA announced it 

would begin looking into ways 

to improve the safety of SH1 

between the Selwyn River and 

Ashburton in 2017. Fourteen 

people died and 45 were seriously 

injured on this stretch of road 

between 2008 and 2017. 

The improvements will focus 

on turning off and on the 

state highway in general, but 

particularly at the Browns Rd 

intersection in Dunsandel. 

The NZTA held a number of 

community events last year and 

developed a draft plan for the 

project. 

A final preferred option for 

the improvements was expected 

early this year but has not been 

released. 

The NZTA will now work 

through the feedback received 

and present a business case so it 

can apply for funding. 

The NZTA is hoping to 

have a finalised plan ready by 

the end of the year, the 

spokesperson said. 

Mr Dalzell said it is not 

good enough and the 

Dunsandel community 

deserves better. 

“We’re just waiting for some 

disaster to happen down here 

and the NZTA doesn’t want to 

know about it,” he said.

Breaking the ice for a game of 

• By Gordon Findlater 

TRADITIONALLY 50th 

anniversaries are celebrated 

with gold, but Lincoln 

Badminton Club celebrated 

theirs with ice, and lots of it. 

When a contingent of 23 

Lincoln players headed to 

Franz Josef to celebrate the 

club’s 50th-anniversary the 

original plan was for only 

badminton to be played in 

the township’s hall. However, 

that quickly changed over a 

phone call between Lincoln’s 

club captain John Morrish and 

Franz Josef player Graham 

Berry. 

The idea of taking advantage 

of some local’s rates to go up 

the glacier via helicopter was 

mooted by Berry and then 

things skyrocketed. 

“I said: ‘We can take a badminton 

racket and have a hit 

up there’,” said Morrish. 

After a short pause, Graham 

said: “That’s a great idea. Leave 

it to me.” 

With support from Franz 

Josef Glacier Guides, Tourism 

Westland and local helicopter 

operators, the joke became a 

reality. 

It was decided Morrish and 

Adam Thomas would represent 

Canterbury, while Berry

and Adrian Waters would 

represent South Westland in 

the first ever provincial game 

of badminton on the glacier. 

Guides went up in the 

morning and flattened off an 

area half the size of a standard 

badminton court. The four 

player’s then abseiled down to 

the court before putting up a 

net.



badminton 

“If you were playing 

at one end you had to be 

tethered with an ice screw 

and a short rope, so you 

couldn’t disappear at the 

end of the court. If you 

did you wouldn’t come 

back,” said Morrish. 

While the players managed 

to stay away from the 

point of no return it’s understood 

almost a dozen 

shuttle cocks were lost to 

a crevasse. However, most 

were able to be recovered 

by a guide. 

Meanwhile, debate is 

still raging over who won 

the match more than 

a week later after both 

teams declared themselves 

winners. 

“We weren’t keeping it 

accurately, but Canterbury 

definitely won,” said 

Morrish. 

The 50th-anniversary 

social trip also involved 

a night in Hokitika. In 

Franz Josef they played 

against the local club, 

enjoyed the hot pools 

and sampled ethnic cuisine 

at a local restaurant 

with Franz Josef club 

members. 

The Lincoln club has

more than 50 junior 

players and 70 seniors. 

Lincoln is the largest in 

Canterbury, with more 

teams entered in the city 

competition than any 

other club. 

Photos portray 

Prebbleton 

• By Angus Hilliard 

PREBBLETON’S 150-year 

history will be showcased 

through photographs this 

weekend at the Prebbleton 

Hall. 

Prebbleton Heritage is 

holding a public exhibition 

of 30 photographs from their 

3000-strong collection. 

Organiser Daphne McAven 

emphasised the importance 

of preserving the photographic 

history of the everchanging 

town. 

“It is important to gather 

photographs to record that 

there was once a small village 

named Prebbleton. Soon the 

area could be another suburb 

of the city and unless we collect 

these records so much of 

the history will be lost.” 

The oldest photographs in 

their collection date from the 

1860s, but lately the organisation 

has attempted to include 

photographs from recent years. 

“Most of our photos date 

before the 1930s, so we 

decided we should gather 

more recent ones so that in 

50 years time, there will be 

a record of the families who 

made this area their home.”

St is not going to be 

narrowed horrendously to

for cyclists to use if they 

do not wish to use the

any which the council

Our People 

Megan Harlick 

PASSIONATE: 

Megan Harlick 

is keen to 

pass on her 

knowledge 

of the sports 

industry in 

her new role 

as Selwyn 

Sports Trust 

chair woman. 

PHOTO: 

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

Keeping the district active 

Megan Harlick, 43, has made the most out of her passion for sport and people. The Rolleston mother of two 

and new Selwyn Sports Trust chairwoman talks to Jacob Page about working with elite level athletes on a 

shoestring budget and encouraging young people to keep active 

What is it about Selwyn 

that you love so much? 

We’ve actually had 

two cracks at it. After 

my husband got offered 

a rugby contract for 

12 months, we 

decided to live 

over here and 

then we came 

back. The main 

reason was that 

this is where our 

two girls had 

their friends and 

this was their 

community. 

You have been 

on the Selwyn 

Sports Trust 

board since 

2016, how did 

the opportunity 

come about? 

That 

happened 

in a 

weak 

moment and I think (chief 

executive Mike Wilson) had 

a lot to do with making it 

happen. When I was general 

manager of Canterbury 

basketball, we had been 

involved with one of the 

first Koru Games, which I 

think was 2014, and I’m such 

a huge fan of Koru Games 

as a concept that we built a 

working relationship. So when 

I came back, I was suffering 

from an injury and I’d gone to 

Mike’s wife Emma for physio 

and she suggested that I go 

running with Mike so that’s 

what I did for six months as 

marathon training, and he 

ended up convincing me to 

come on board. I later ran the 

Melbourne Marathon, and 

I am looking to do another. 

I just don’t have the time to 

commit to it at this stage. You 

have to be super fit and really 

committed and I’m just too 

busy – I have a problem saying 

no. 

Tell me about your time 

as high performance sport 

manager at Softball New 

Zealand from 2008-2011 and 

what sort of impact did it 

have on you? 

That was a dream job of 

sorts because I used to play 

softball (to a provincial level) 

and it was my life, and coming 

into it after a stint at High 

Performance Sport New 

Zealand and going into what 

was an elite level sport, but a 

significantly under-funded 

sport at that level, it gave you 

a real appreciation of what 

people are prepared to do to 

play for their country. More 

so the women than the men, 

but the obstacles they were 

prepared to overcome just 

to represent their country. 

In softball and in basketball 

you have people hold down 

full-time jobs and for me it 

was a real eye-opener and that 

representing New Zealand is 

a real honour and the journey 

isn’t always easy. In softball 

you didn’t always have access 

to the best player, you had 

access to the ones who could 

afford to pay. Eventually 

something has to give for 

people and you have to battle 

preconceived ideas of what 

people think your sport is. 

You were also at 

Canterbury Basketball from 

2011-2014 – what were the 

differences between the two 

roles? 

The softball was an elite 

level-focused role, where 

being general manager of 

Canterbury basketball was 

looking after the whole sport 

in the Canterbury region at 

all levels. The day I stepped 

into the job, Cowles Stadium 

got orange-stickered so we 

lost everything. It’s so hard 

to get money to make those 

sport sustainable. It’s tough 

to be able to put long-term 

plans in place. Basketball 

would not exist in Canterbury 

without the volunteers, they 

get so much mileage out of 

a very dedicated bunch of 

people. I knew very little 

about basketball and it was a 

real challenge and one that I 

enjoyed.” 

Talk me through what you 

love about your role at Ara 

Institute of Canterbury? 

I come from a teaching 

family – my mum is a teacher, 

my sister is a teacher, and yet 

I never wanted to be a teacher 

but I enjoy teaching adult 

students.

Our People 

‘I get the chance 

to inspire the 

next generation’ 


I like to have the ability 

to share and inspire in an 

industry that I am really 

passionate about. I teach into 

the sport and exercise degree 

and sport psychology and 

health psychology. I’ve seen a 

lot of the world and worked 

with some amazing athletes 

and now I get the chance to 

inspire the next generation of 

people going into that industry 

and that’s really cool. My 

first boss was New Zealand 

Olympic Committee chief 

executive and secretary general 

Kereyn Smith. She encouraged 

me to do what I wanted to do 

at the New Zealand Academy 

of Sport. I think the industry is 

amazing but you don’t get into 

it to make money. 

What do you think is the 

biggest challenge at the 

Selwyn Sports Trust? 

It’s about cementing our 

position in the region and being 

more visible. One of the best 

things is our physical activators 

in schools, which allows kids 

to have an opportunity in sport 

and recreation, regardless of 

whether they are in the top tier 

of talent. It’s about giving kids 

positive experiences in sport 

because we know that leads on 

to life-long participation, so to 

have a programme that allows 

that is fantastic. Too many kids 

have negative experiences in 

sport at school and that sticks 

with them for life. The fact we 

have a Thursday sport model 

year 5-8, where they can try 

everything from cross fit to 

martial arts to rippa rugby, it 

all feeds into that participation 

cycle and not a competitive 

cycle. I want kids to stay in 

sport longer because they won’t 

burn out and that’s what I’m 

passionate about, especially in 

that drop-off of 14 to 17-yearolds. 

We have to find other 

ways to engage people in sport 

and it doesn’t have to be in 

the typical Saturday model. If 

kids can play multiple sports, 

the cream will still rise to 

the top and there needs to be 

unstructured play, as well as 

structured stuff. I don’t think it 

will affect the top level of sport, 

it may give us more players to 

choose from. 

Checking homes are up to scratch 

in a booming building sector 

THE DISTRICT’S building 

boom has led to a growing need 

for experts to check houses 

before they are bought. 

Property inspections are a key 

part of the construction industry 

as the district’s population of 

60,000 is expected to grow by 33 

per cent in the next 10 years. 

The Selwyn Times revealed 

last week just over 17,000 more 

houses will be built in the district 

over the next 30 years – with a 

target of 8600 by 2028. 

Well-known Selwyn builder 

Jeremy ‘Brownie’ Brown has 

launched a business called 

Kiwi Building Inspections Ltd, 

which specialises in property 

inspections. 

The business was conceived 

after he received a number 

of requests from friends and 

associates to complete building 

inspections for them. After 30 

years of working on and running 

construction projects, it was a 

natural progression to utilise 

his knowledge and experience 

from a different perspective, Mr 

Brown said. 

Having a property checked 

by an expert is vital not only for 

people looking at new homes, but 

also for those buying established 

houses. 

“The number of times over 

my years of building that I have

been asked to do renovations 

and found existing problems 

that could have been picked up 

before the person purchased the 

property is quite high,” he told 

the Selwyn Times. 

Mr Brown said getting a 

qualified person with industry 

knowledge, experience and 

equipment to do the property 

check is vital. 

“Having an experienced 

qualified person to do a full 

SELWYN TIMES 

visual inspection on the property 

before purchase is a worthwhile 

investment. It is piece of mind 

when making that potential 

decision of a lifetime. 

“Picking up signs of excess 

moisture, cracking or movement 

that could be signs of potential 

problems further down the track 

with an inspection can help a 

potential property buyer make 

a more informed decision about 

their purchase.”



ADVERTORIAL 

Our home, our village 

For Tony and Irienne, 

settling into Ryman 

Healthcare’s Anthony Wilding 

Retirement Village was an 

easy decision. 

“It made me happy, to 

know that if anything were to 

happen to one of us, the other 

has a place where they are safe 

and have social contact,” says 

Tony, aged 74. 

“I was conscious that we 

were living on our own, and 

it could be quite isolating, 

while here if you take a walk it 

takes you a lot longer than you 

anticipated because there are 

so many people to greet and 

talk to,” adds Irienne, 72. 

“It’s the peace of mind, 

really. It’s having the stress 

and worry of being responsible 

for a house taken away.” 

The couple moved into 

their townhouse at the village 

in 2015. 

“We used to tell our friends 

we’ve moved house,” says 

Tony “but it just happens to be 

in a retirement village!” 

“It’s our home, as simple as 

that,” says Irienne. 

Tony, originally from 

England, moved to New 

Zealand with his family when 

he was seven years old. 

His family eventually settled 

in Nelson where Irienne’s 

family came from. They met 

at a local dance when Tony 

came home from Canterbury 

University, where he studied 

Physics and Maths. 

“In our days you met at a 

local dance,” says Irienne, 

“while nowadays you meet on 

the internet!” 

Irienne, a trained nurse, 

moved with Tony to Tokoroa 

when he was offered a job. 

“It was in the middle of 

nowhere, and we used to travel 

to Taupo, to go for a hot swim,” 

says Irienne. 

“We also travelled to 

Tauranga because I was 

homesick for the sea,” 

she adds. 

Tony and Irienne with sales advisor, Susie Alayne. 

Eventually they moved to 

Auckland where their oldest 

daughter was born, then a 

move down to Wellington, 

where their second daughter 

was born. Finally, after a 

couple of years, they settled 

back in Nelson with their 

growing family. 

“My parents and Irienne’s 

family were there, so it made 

sense,” says Tony. 

They eventually bought a 

lifestyle block, and Irienne 

managed the farm. 

“It was a real 

Old MacDonald’s farm,” 

laughs Tony. 

After many years in 

Nelson and retirement, the 

couple decided to move to 

Christchurch to be near their 

daughter and grandchildren. 

“Luckily we scraped through 

with very little damage,” 

adds Irienne. 

After a few years, the couple 

began looking at retirement 

options “half-heartedly”. 

“So, we got to the stage 

where climbing ladders was 

becoming a bit of a problem,” 

says Tony. 

“With me at the bottom 

of the ladder!” adds a 

laughing Irienne. 

“We decided to downsize, 

and really the choice was to 

buy a smaller townhouse out 

in the real world or go into a 

retirement village,” says Tony. 

“It’s in your mind a bit, I 

guess. Then somebody told us 

about Ryman,” says Irienne. 

Tony and Irienne belonged 

to a walking group and were 

introduced to Anthony Wilding 

when there was a morning tea 

held in the village centre. 

The location was perfect for 

the couple, as their daughter’s 

family is settled nearby. 

“We couldn’t be bothered 

moving again.” 

Anthony Wilding village is 

located in Aidaneld, Halswell, 

and has fantastic views of the 

Port Hills. 

The village offers 

independent townhouses, 

assisted living in a serviced 

apartment, resthome, hospital 

and dementia care. The 

village includes an all-weather 

bowling green, indoor heated 

swimming pool, spa, internal 

atrium, library, gym, hair and 

beauty salon, bar and shop. 

Sales Advisor, Susie Alayne, 

says the village has beautiful 

gardens, a strong sense of 

community and the setting 

is unique. 

“We have all the benets 

of a big village but we’re 

small enough that everyone 

still knows everyone else,” 

says Susie. 

Susie says that the benet 

of a townhouse is that it offers 

complete independence but 

with the bonus of having a 

safety net for times when you 

might need some help. 

And that is what 

really clinched it for Tony 

and Irienne. 

“The xed fees denitely, 

and the peace of mind,” 

says Irienne. 

For now, the couple is still 

enjoying being out and about. 

“We’re still very active 

outside of the village,” 

Tony says. 

They are part of a biking 

group and like to go tramping 

so the townhouse living is 

perfect for them as they can 

just shut the front door and 

head out without worrying 

about the house. 

“We also love the friendships 

we’ve made here, the Happy 

Hours, the staff, it’s such a 

friendly village,” says Irienne. 

“It’s got everything we like. 

It’s the people in the village 

who make this home.” 

And the best part of living at 

Anthony Wilding? 

“Not having to clean our own 

windows,” laughs Irienne.

Preparing for take-off 

BY THE time you’re 

reading this, I’ve likely 

skipped the country. 

Whoa, what an intro 

right? What dastardly 

thing could I have done 

huh? 

The truth is we’re off on 

holiday. No, we didn’t book 

it in the last week, this is a 

serious trip. 

We are going to Italy 

to spend five weeks with 

Laura’s family in the village 

where she grew up. 

Apart from the excitement 

of getting in a bonus 

summer with easy access 

to the beach and Venice, 

it’ll be the first time any of 

Vittoria’s Italian relatives 

have met her, or she them. 

The flights themselves 

and meeting the family 

should make good reading 

for you next week. But 

before all that we’ve still 

got to get all the packing 

out of the way. 

Which is a whole lot 

more tactical with a toddler 

than it was before she 

was born. 

My clothes and essentials 

took about the usual five 

minutes to get together and 

Laura’s packing took much 

longer, as per standard. 

But getting Vittoria’s 

things together was much 

TACTICS: Vittoria 

‘helps’ with packing in 

her own way. 

more involved. 

Obviously, as a husband, 

I’m completely unqualified 

to do that unsupervised, so 

I’ve provided consultation 

on the content of Vittoria’s 

bag about three times this 

week. 

Once we were reasonably 

confident that Vittoria had 

enough clothes in everyone’s 

bags (just in case), it 

was time to move on to all 

of the other things – food, 

toys, books, distractions, 

medicines. The list goes on 

and likely won’t be complete 

until minutes before 

take-off. 

✓ Co-educational, Years 1-8 

✓ Small classes 

✓ Specialist teachers 

✓ Traditional classrooms; 

academic rigour 

✓ Musical excellence 

✓ Christian values 

✓ Before & after school care: 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

It won’t be Vittoria’s first 

flight, but I doubt she remembers 

her last one. She 

cried for like 10 minutes 

when we took off and I 

stress-sweated like I was 

one the surface of the sun. 

So fingers crossed that 

the power of occasional 

walks, copious episodes of 

Pingu and in-flight snacks 

will prevent meltdowns 

and keep my armpits dry 

for as much of the 24-hour 

flight as possible. 

I had been recommended 

to pack bags of treats for 

my fellow passengers as a 

peace offering/bribe. 

Sorry, future fellow 

passengers, I did not pack 

them and the only treat 

you have to look forward 

to is our presence. 

It may or may not be 

enjoyable.

From Prebbleton to Belgium 

for talented young rider 

SALE 

MASSIVE REDUCTIONS 

• By Jacob Page 

PREBBLETON cyclist Bailey 

O’Donnell’s gamble on 

himself appears to be paying 

off after he won his first road 

race in Europe. 

The 18-year-old is in 

the midst of a two-month 

stint racing on the roads of 

Belgium, an opportunity 

organised by former New 

Zealand cyclist Hayden 

Roulston. 

O’Donnell said he would 

use the opportunity to try to 

make the most of his talent 

while he could, but he has 

also been doing some parttime 

building work back in 

Christchurch. 

O’Donnell won a 100km 

race, often referred to as a 

kermesse, in Deinze, west of 

Flanders. He is racing for a 

small under-23 Belgium team 

and is loving the experience. 

“Belgium is pretty much the 

home of road cycling in the 

world, I think it’s the biggest 

sport here after soccer. 

“They have many different 

kinds of races on every day 

of the week in different areas, 

people come from all over the 

world to race here. They close 

the whole town down for the 

race and every one from that 

town comes out to watch and 

WINNER: Bailey O’Donnell crosses the line after beating a field of 89 to take a 100km race 

in Deinze, Belgium. 

also there is always a carnival 

on at the same time.” 

O’Donnell said he saw an 

opportunity to take control of 

the race and took it. 

“I decided to race a lot more 

aggressive than I have been 

and put myself in to the red a 

lot more than usual,” he 

said. 

“It came down to a bunch 

sprint and I didn’t know if I 

had the legs but I saw a gap 

open on the inside with about 

300m to go and I hit it and 

managed to get past everyone 

SPORT 

and hold on for the win by a 

few bike lengths.” 

O’Donnell said he still has 

several weeks to go in Belgium 

and hopes he can catch the eye 

of team scouts and hopefully 

get the chance to go back.

Film Competition 

Deadline One 

Month Away 

The submitted films for the 

“Focus for Future” Selwyn 

Environmental Short Film 

Awards must be in by 31st 

August. These awards are 

organised and hosted by 

Lincoln Envirotown. 

Previous years have always 

seen film teams busy with 

their productions during the 

month of August and last 

year no fewer than 19 short 

films were produced for 

this thought provoking and 

enjoyable competition. The Awards 

will be presented on September 19th 

at the Lincoln Event Centre. At this 

presentation the films are viewed and it 

is always an “Oscar” like occasion. 

Category Awards ranging from 

Kindergarten to adult entries are given 

with an overall prize – which last year 

went to a Lincoln High School team. 

The age of phone cameras has meant 

that we can all be film producers and 

actors and we encourage everyone 

to think of an Environmental issue 

of interest and concern to them, and 

showcase it with a short film. Last 

year six of the films were independent 

entries. A variety of films are produced 

ranging from video; animation; acted; 

real; serious or humorous. 

The independent panel look forward 

to viewing the films and welcoming 

teams to the Awards in September.

Selwyn Times 

Design guide issued for 

Rolleston Town Centre 

Artists’ impression of the Tennyson Quarter, which will be anchored by Te Ara Ātea at the right-hand end. 

Planning for the Rolleston Town Centre takes a step forward this week with the release of 

design guidelines. 

The guidelines set out a framework for the design of the new town centre, and give guidance to 

developers who will be designing both private and public spaces and buildings within the area. 

They are aimed at creating a distinctive new civic space, anchored by the new library, Te Ara Ātea, 

and complemented by surrounding businesses to create a vibrant, welcoming public space. 

The guidelines propose a series of public spaces, including the Tennyson Street ‘high street’, 

which is seen as a traditional high street based around Te Ara Ātea with a mix of small scale retail 

and hospitality businesses at ground level. Wordsworth Street will be predominantly a shopping 

street with a large format anchor store. 

The Town Square provides open space for events, public gatherings and performances, and 

for community recreation. A tree-lined pedestrian promenade creates space for walking and 

meeting, and links Te Ara Ātea and the Town Square, while Rolleston Reserve is an attractive, 

landscaped park. 

The design also proposes a series of laneways and four distinct Quarters, which allow for a range 

of activities, each with its own distinct character. The first quarter to be built will be the Tennyson 

Quarter, which will use contemporary styles, but with reference to Selwyn’s traditional township 

high streets. Other quarters include the Town Square, the Wordsworth Quarter, an exciting retail 

destination, and the Station Quarter, a commercial area that draws on the town’s railway heritage. 

Council urban planner Gabi Wolfer says the Selwyn community is in a unique position to be able 

to develop its own town centre. “It will be a brand new place we haven’t had to ‘revitalise’, but 

one we have actually crafted to the way we want it to be,” she says. 

“The shaping of this exciting project comes with responsibilities to create the best possible place 

that we can all be proud of and that will work for generations to come and enjoy.” 

The Council has started an Expression of Interest process, inviting developers to register their 

interest in developing the retail and commercial space within the town centre. The process will 

help the Council identify parties who will be capable of responding to an in-depth tender process. 

Initial preparatory site work on the town centre is expected to start in the next few months. For more 

information email douglas.marshall@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Understanding the Treaty of Waitangi 

Relationships will be at the heart of a fresh look at the place of the Treaty of Waitangi in our nation today. 

Sharon Tipene, who has been a treaty educator for four years, will be hosting a workshop discussing 

the importance of the treaty in our daily lives at the Lincoln Event Centre, 11.30am–3.30pm on Saturday 

17 August. 

The session covers topics from pre-treaty to issues today such as Ihumātao and treaty settlements, 

using props, interactive discussions and stories. 

Relationships and people’s stories are central to the story of the treaty and the sessions, she says. It’s 

also one of the things that makes the treaty relevant to all New Zealanders. 

“In this country we have tangata whenua and if we’re not that we’re tangata tiriti. It’s the treaty that 

gives us as pākehā and other migrants our place to stand. It’s sometimes referred to as an immigration 

visa because it’s through the treaty that space was officially created for us to have a place here.” 

Her focus in the sessions is on making a space where people can have discussions in an open and 

non-confrontational way and unpack the ideas they come with. “Often by the time we get to the middle 

of the session people are saying ‘I wasn’t sure about coming’ or they came with a negative feeling, but 

they say, ‘I’m pleased I came, it’s really engaging, why didn’t we know this before?” 

As a pākehā, from New Brighton, she says the journey has been personal and who she is, is a big part of 

the sessions, from becoming interested in Māori culture as a teenager, to marrying a Māori man, working 

as a teacher and raising three children through a mix of Māori immersion and bilingual education. 

“For us as pākehā, we have to have that discussion—what does this mean for us? We need to work that 

out amongst ourselves. Part of the workshop is to help us to work through what that means for us, why is 

it relevant and if it is, what does that then mean to honour both parties of the treaty in the way we live?” 

Water race spraying reminder 

The Council is reminding people not to spray the banks of water 

races with weed killer. 

Blanket spraying of the banks with weed killers often leads to damage 

and can cause the banks and soil to slump in and wash away. 

The Council has been become aware of a rise in the number of 

incidents recently where banks are being blanket sprayed. The 

slumping and the soil washing away leads to sediment in the water 

race. This can block up the water race, which leads to increasing 

risk of flooding, of contaminants in the water, and of damage to 

plant and animal habitats. 

Where these water races are near public land it also leads to 

potential damage of roads and footpaths and increases risk for 

people using the area. 

Most water races flowing through private property are the 

landowner’s responsibility for maintenance. The Council appreciates 

landowners proactively doing their maintenance, but is reminding 

people to please only spot spray pest plants with aquatic approved 

chemicals and avoid blanket spraying of banks damaging the race. 

For more information, see the water race page on our website 

selwyn.govt.nz, or contact our water races team by emailing 

waterraces@selwyn.govt.nz. 

Getting closer to the new Selwyn 

District Plan 

The Council is on track to have its future District Plan ready for 

formal public consultation early next year. 

With local government elections coming up in October, the 

Council’s District Plan Committee has held its final meeting for 

the year, says Tim Harris, Council’s Environmental and Regulatory 

Services group manager. Most of the proposed policies and rules 

have been drafted and consulted on. Staff will now work on targeted 

consultation and refining the draft provisions for the income Council 

to endorse early next year. 

The Proposed District Plan will be notified in early 2020 and fully in 

place, subject to any Environment Court appeals, in mid-2022. 

“We would like to thank everyone who’s provided feedback and 

helped shaped the future District Plan so far,” Mr Harris says. 

You can find out more about the future District Plan at selwyn.govt. 

nz/dprsi or check out the Council’s engagement hub at selwyn.govt.

SPORT 

Ellesmere look to make 


ELLESMERE WILL be aiming 

for a faster start against the 

Cantabrians on Saturday after 

their sluggish first half led 

to a 29-14 loss against Mid- 

Canterbury. 

The new-look Ellesmere side 

were held scoreless during the 

first 40min at Lincoln over the 

weekend and trailed 12-0 at the 

break. While they did manage 

two tries in the second half, the 

margin proved too much to catch. 

HANDS:

on Saturday. 

The hosts also lost the 

Ashburton Auto Electrics Trophy, 

which they won for the first time 

in five years 12 months ago. 

Ellesmere manager Michael 

Sheat said the coaching staff 

were happy with how with their 

new combinations went in their 

first game of the campaign. 

“I thought we actually played 

well to start and just couldn’t 

get points on the board and 

then they roared back at us. 

Obviously, you’re bringing a lot 

of guys together from various 

clubs and the opposition was a 

step up on club footy,” he said. 

Ruck-time was particularly 

physical. 

“I thought there was plenty of 

positives in there and I felt we got 

better as the game went on.” 

Sheat said it was a good 

indication of where the squad 

is ahead of their game against 

North Canterbury for the 

Southbridge Shield on August 24. 

“We know where we need to 

be for the game against North 

Canterbury,” he said.

better start against Cantabrians 

“We still have a couple of hitouts 

to make that happen.” 

Waihora’s Harry Kirk will be 

on the Canterbury bench for their 

pre-season Mitre 10 Cup match 

against Southland, and Sheat is 

not sure if he will be back in the 

mix over the coming weeks. 

The game was the first of 

three before they meet North 

Canterbury. 

Ellesmere will play the 

Cantabrians at Springston before 

taking on Canterbury Maori at 

Kirwee on August 17.

Colts beat 

development 

squad for 

third time 

in four years 


THE ELLESMERE colts made it 

three wins in four years over the 

Mid-Canterbury development 

team with a 22-21 win at Lincoln 

on Saturday. 

The 25-man squads meant 

there were plenty of changes as 

Ellesmere used their first hit-out 

of the season to prepare for their 

main game against North Canterbury 

on August 24. 

Ellesmere team manager Dave 

Beatty said they out-scored the 

visitors by four tries to three, 

with all but one of them scored 

by the forwards. 

“Being a younger side playing 

against men, we had the idea of 

trying to run them around. But 

conditions were quite boggy and 

didn’t allow it, so I was really 

happy with how the forwards got 

stuck in and more than held their 

own.” 

No points were scored in the 

first or last 20min of the game, 

and the crucial moment came 

just after halftime when Sam 

Bright scored from a rolling maul 

to give Ellesmere the lead. 

•The colts will play the 

Ellesmere Keas development 

team on Saturday.

Southbridge show mettle 

in draw with Broadfield 


SOUTHBRIDGE finally showed 

what they were made of to start 

the all-important third round 

of Selwyn premier netball with 

a 57-all draw against Broadfield 

on Saturday. 

With the third round deciding 

the semi-finalists in five weeks, 

Southbridge produced their 

best performance of the season 

to prove they could be top-four 

contenders after they pushed last 

year’s finalists all the way. 

In other results, Greenpark B 

started swiftly and never looked 

back in a 57-49 win over 

Lincoln A and defending 

champions, Greenpark A swept 

aside newly promoted Prebbleton 

A 72-37. 

Southbridge A coach Sarah 

Ormandy said her side played 

well enough to win having led 

by two goals late in the fourth 

quarter but she says a draw 

would do. 

“We were in the lead right to 

the end but a draw is good, certainly 

better than losing by one. 

“I felt we definitely had it over 

them for the first half. 

“We had minimal turnover and 

we got turnovers off their ball. 

“Our timing was good and the 

shots were going in. 

“I knew this performance was 

there,” she said. 

Broadfield coach Yvonne 

Crichton-Hill said working on 

some defensive combinations 

and battling through 

injuries were a priority. 

She said her team was 

outplayed for much of 

the first three quarters 

but she was happy how 

her team battled back 

to earn two competition 

points. 

Greenpark B player/ 

coach Mechelle Barltrop 

said she couldn’t 

have been happier with the outcome 

of her team’s game against 

Lincoln but the start needs some 

improving. 

“We were 5-0 down early and 

I thought here we go again but 

we went back to basics and the 

shooting circle really stepped up 

and we put it together.’’ 

The result reversed the loss 

Greenpark B suffered to Lincoln 

in round two. 

“To prevent them a bonus 

point could be quite important 

so winning by more than seven 

goals was great for us. 

“We didn’t panic, we aren’t 

a fast team and when we try to 

Yvonne 

Crichton-Hill 

SPORT 

play fast, we throw the ball away. 

“Lincoln have a tall defensive 

unit so we had to use our composure.” 

Defending champions 

Greenpark A continued 

to roll with a comfortable 

win over Prebbleton in 

spite of missing five starters. 

Coach Zaylie Sullivan 

said in spite of the comfortable 

result, she knew 

Southbridge this Saturday 

would be a tougher challenge. 

“That’s a game which could be 

tricky,” Sullivan said. 

“We’ll need to be on our game 

and hopefully we can get a few 

players back.” 

This Saturday’s games see 

Lincoln play Prebbleton, Southbridge 

battle Greenpark A and 

Broadfield and Greenpark A 

square-off. 

Results – Broadfield A 57, 

Southbridge A 57; Greenpark B 

57, Lincoln A 49, Greenpark A 

72, Prebbleton A 37. 

Points – Greenpark A 5,

Table-toppers inflict 

heavy defeat on Lincoln 

LINCOLN COMBINED are 

clinging to eighth spot in the UC 

Championships following a 54-12 

defeat to table-toppers Nelson 

College, on Saturday. 

The result means Lincoln will 

need to scratch out at least a 

bonus point against Christchurch 

Boys’ High School this Saturday 

to stay in the top eight. 

The large Nelson College pack 

forced Lincoln to think about 

playing running rugby on a day 

that dawned sunny in spite of a 

heavy overnight downpour. 

Nelson College scored two 

quick tries as Lincoln’s season 

SELWYN TIMES 

theme of slow starts continued. 

However, Lincoln’s fitness 

seemed to keep them in the game 

as they only trailed 21-7 at the 

break. 

The half-time team talk seemed 

to do wonders for Nelson College 

who were in a rampant mood 

in the second half, scoring tries 

from all parts of the field as they 

strengthened their grip on top 

sport on the ladder. 

Lincoln need to hope that 

St Thomas of Canterbury 

College can beat Marlborough 

Boys’ College, to help secure 

eighth.

“A local team for local people” 

TWO STUDENTS have made 

history at Rolleston College as 

the first pupils to achieve NCEA 

level 1. 

Year 11 students Reuben 

Cassie and Kaitlyn Moore are 

the first to make the achievement 

at the school since it opened in 

2017. 

Senior learning team member 

Rachel Skelton said she is very 

proud of both of the students. 

“To achieve this qualification 

so early in the year is a great 

achievement and we are very 

proud of both of them,” he 

said. 

Mrs Skelton said when Reuben 

was interviewed prior to commencing 

secondary school he 

spoke about his passion for filmmaking 

and editing, an interest 

he had developed in his time at 

Clearview Primary. 

“What Reuben has been able to 

do over is use projects and other 

opportunities to continue to 

develop his skills in this area to 

the point where he has been able 

to attain level 1 credits for some 

of his edited films.”

gained a merit endorsement at

of the work he has produced is 

very high, Mrs Skelton said. 

Kaitlyn Moore also joined 

Rolleston College from Clearview 

in 2017. 

Not only has she achieved 

NCEA level 1, but she has also 

just gained her level 2. 

Mrs Skelton said it’s a 

unique achievement for a learner 

who is only halfway through her 

first senior year at secondary 

school. 

“Kaitlyn has a passion for the 

farm and the agricultural sector. 

To facilitate this, the school 

supported Kaitlyn as she divided 

When theologians inquired 

whether anything could be 

concluded about the creator 

from studying the creation, 

evolutionary biologist JBS 

Haldane allegedly replied that the 

creator must have “an inordinate 

fondness for beetles,” as there are 

more kinds of beetles than any 

other insect. 

So, for the 100th insect, I will 

celebrate diversity with a native

sometimes called the false

Skills.” 

“She has excelled on this 

course whilst maintaining a high 

level of academic success in her 

school-based programme,” Mrs 

Skelton said. 

“Both of these outstanding 

young adults are a shining 

example of how learners can 

thrive when their learning is 

personalised and where they are 

able to pursue their passions and 

have their learning built around 

both of these concepts.”

larvae are found in dry locations

THis beetle species, along the

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Helping to solve training 

need for wool industry 

A critical need to train shearers and wool handlers is being addressed by the introduction of 

Learner Wool Handler, Introduction to the Woolshed and Learner Shearer courses by Primary ITO. 

The three “micro-credential” courses 

are bite-sized pieces of learning aimed at 

recognising or teaching specific skills for 

the workplace on the job within a short 

timeframe. 

“What makes the issue so pressing, and 

why the wool industry is one of the first 

to have micro-credentials being released, 

is that right now there are no recognised 

industry qualifications available in New 

Zealand for shearers and wool handlers,” 

says Primary ITO chief executive Linda 

Sissons. 

“This is incredibly important for the 

wool industry but it’s also an example of 

one of the future directions of training 

for all primary industries.” 

Dr Sissons says that with job openings 

forecast to grow substantially in wool 

harvesting in the coming years, training 

will be critical as New Zealand faces 

competition from overseas for our 

shearers and wool handlers. 

The micro-credentials are officially 

recognised and overseen by New 

Zealand’s education system. 

“One of the things we know about our 

industries is that they’re all crying out for 

people. Preferably already skilled but if 

not, they’re prepared to invest to develop 

the skills they need on the job. 

“The real shift we’re working on is the 

focus on skills rather than big up-front 

qualifications. A micro-credential puts 

the emphasis on `just in time’ learning, 

rather than a lengthy `just in case’ 

qualification.” 

At the top end of the spectrum, 

Primary ITO’s new micro-credential 

in biosecurity is at Level 5 on the New 

Zealand Qualifications Framework 

and pitched at agribusiness managers 

and owners. The wool courses are at 

Level 2 and take approximately four 

weeks of total learning, practising, and 

assessment. 

“They mean businesses can bring on 

new workers and ensure they develop 

essential skills for the woolshed before 

investing in further training,” says Dr 

Sissons. 

“It also recognises that shearing gangs 

move around a lot – workers can learn 

wherever they are and fit it in whenever 

best suits the job.” 

Despite the current absence of 

recognised entry level wool harvesting 

qualifications, people do currently learn 

on the job from their more experienced 

colleagues but the micro-credentials will 

help provide a base level of skills and a 

qualification to demonstrate to future 

employers that they have those skills. 

Primary ITO is this year developing 

a full suite of wool harvesting 

programmes, in addition to the microcredentials, 

which are expected to be 

launched in 2020.

available at https://www.primaryito.

Selwyn biodiversity 

projects receive a boost 

Ten biodiversity projects in the Selwyn 

Te Waihora zone received a financial 

boost with the Selwyn Waihora Water 

Zone Committee allocating $63,000 of 

Immediate Steps funding. 

Projects allocated funding included 

restoration of hill country wetlands 

and enhancement of one of the 

main tributaries to Te Waihora/Lake 

Ellesmere, receiving between $2000 and 

$12,800 with landowners and project 

partners contributing a further 30-60 

percent, boosting the overall value to 

around $216,300. 

Five new and five ongoing projects 

received funding. These include 

Maffey’s Road stream restoration (third 

year of funding) - $6167; Washpen 

Ford Restoration (third year) - $5600; 

Windwhistle bluffs (second year) 

- $6200; Sanford mudfish habitat 

enhancement (second year) - $8000; 

Waikirikiri springs protection (second 

year) - $2000; BlackHills wetland 

restoration (first of two years’ funding) 

- $5000; Washpen Road wetland 

enhancement -$6220; Harts Creek 

enhancement - $12,800; Haldon Pastures 

Stream Enhancement - $2700 and 

Rockwood wetland protection (first of 

three years’ funding) - $8,700. 

Zone committee co-chair Les 

Wanhalla said it was “inspiring” to hear 

Ben Richards from Rockwood in the 

high country talking at their committee 

meeting about his ongoing commitment 

to biodiversity on his land which has 

continued for generations. 

“Having made biodiversity protection 

and enhancement top priority when 

we wrote our Zone Implementation 

Programme a number of years ago, 

we have now delivered 127 projects 

since 2011 via the Immediate Steps 

programme.” 

Selwyn Waihora Zone Delivery Lead 

Johannes Welsch said the support 

of these projects was the outcome of 

“good relationships with landowners, 

supporting their native biodiversity 

enhancement efforts, protecting 

wetlands, and creating greater awareness 

of biodiversity in our community.” 

The Rockwood project involves 

the enhancement and protection of a 

1.5-hectare wetland located near the top 

of the Hororata catchment. 

“The landowners have a great track 

record with numerous biodiversity 

projects located elsewhere on their 

property,” Johannes Welsch said. 

“This includes protection of a 30+ha 

beech block, the enhancement 

of numerous other springheads 

wetlands, and restoration of riparian 

cover in the ford just to name a few. 

“The proximity of the Rockwood 

wetland project to these, as well as 

its position within the Hororata 

corridor, makes this project key in 

the stepping stone – green pathway 

- Ki uta ki tai - priority in the 

Selwyn Waihora zone.” 

The Harts Creek Restoration 

project is in collaboration with the 

Harts Creek Streamcare Group which 

has completed years of restoration 

work along the creek. 

“The project has the full support of 

the landowners who have contributed 

greatly to the long-term health of the 

waterway with significant planting 

and willow/weed control,” Johannes 

Welsch said. “The project will 

increase and improve the condition of 

available habitat for our native species 

which rely on Harts creek.”

Pilot One Stop Waste 

Management Shop 

- Selwyn (Ellesmere) 9 September - 

The Ministry for the Environment is 

funding an Agrecovery programme to 

deliver six pilot rural waste management 

one-stop-shop events in September. The 

events will enable farmers and growers to 

drop of chemical waste and plastics at one 

of the depots for safe disposal. 

At the scheduled Selwyn (Ellesmere) 

event, farmers and growers will be able to 

drop off chemical containers, silage and 

bale wrap, fertiliser and feedbags, waste oil 

and unwanted chemicals for safe disposal 

and in some case recycling. All items will 

be able to be dropped off at one collection 

point. The Selwyn (Ellesmere) event will be 

held on 9 September 

Agrecovery held two similar trial events 

in 2018 in Geraldine and Matamata and 

collected nearly 20 tonnes of rural waste. 

The success of these events prompted the 

expansion of the pilot into four new areas 

with the assistance of Ministry funding. 

Geraldine Farm 

Participants at the 

2018 Agrecovery Rural 

recycling events. 

Manager, Aaron 

Gorrie participated 

in the 2018 event 

and hosted an open 

day on the farm he 

manages prior to the 

pilot event so people 

could find out more 

about the project. 

“Like most 

farmers we are 

committed to 

sustainable farming. 

It’s important to 

leave a legacy for 

future generations. 

We have a Farm 

Environment Plan in 

place, and we work 

hard to ensure we meet the requirements of 

the plan. This is a great opportunity to have 

unwanted chemicals correctly disposed of. 

“Since the 2018 event we have changed 

the way we manage our waste chemicals 

and containers. Containers are now rinsed 

immediately and stored separately in an 

easily accessible place and we make regular 

drops to the Agrecovery collection site,” 

said Aaron. 

The Agrecovery Foundation started 

in 2007, with a product stewardship 

programme designed to help clear plastic 

agrichemical containers and drums 

from farms and orchards around the 

country. The agrichemical industry funds 

the programme and recycles waste. The 

programme also sustainably disposes of 

unwanted agrichemicals. Pop up events are 

held throughout the country and waste can 

also be dropped at fixed collection sites. 

However, the September 2019 events will be 

unique because of the increased number of 

items that can be dropped off. 

“Selwyn District Council is committed to 

working with the rural community to help 

find sustainable options for disposing of 

farm waste. The Agrecovery One Stop Shop 

rural waste recycling events provide a great 

opportunity for the community to dispose 

of waste safely, especially in more remote 

rural communities. We encourage people 

to get behind these events and register,” 

said Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew 

Boyd. 

Waste must be prepared properly before 

drop off and farmers and growers interested 

in registering for the events and finding out 

more about how to prepare material for 

drop off should visit www.agrecovery.co.nz 

“We know that farmers and growers care 

about their land and ensuring a sustainable 

future for future generations. We also 

know how hard it is to dispose of on-farm 

waste safely. That’s why these pilot events 

are so important. They enable us to better 

understand what works for farmers and 

the future services that we can provide to 

help with safe and environmentally friendly 

on farm waste management,” said Simon 

Andrew CEO of Agrecovery.

Gardening 

SELWYN TIMES 

Prepare the soil for planting potatoes 

WITH THE promise of spring 

just around the corner, it’s time to 

be thinking ahead. 

August is the month to prepare 

soil for when the weather 

becomes brighter. 

Potatoes 

Such a staple and stalwart crop, 

you need to start gearing up for 

the upcoming potato-planting 

season. 

Those of you who know your 

spuds will already have seed 

potatoes quietly “chitting” away 

somewhere cool indoors. Once 

the sprouts are finger length and 

the soil has warmed a smidge, 

they can be planted out in 

September. 

The sprouting phase does take 

four to six weeks; hence you need 

to get a wriggle on if you want 

fresh new potatoes in December. 

While the seed spuds are 

sprouting, take an hour or two 

to prepare the soil, work it over 

with a fork, blend in well-rotted 

compost and, a week before 

planting, work through some 

potato fertiliser. 

Adding the spud food prior to 

planting prevents burning the 

delicately sprouted seed potatoes. 

Vegetables 

If your patch has been vacant 

THINKING AHEAD: If you want potatoes for Christmas, they should be planted next month. In the meantime it’s time to get the soil 

ready. Daffodils should be making an appearance soon, dust off your vases and remember to change the water every third day. 

over winter, now’s the time to get 

it ready for spring planting before 

the soil warms up. Hoe off weeds 

and, when the soil isn’t boggy, 

turn it over and blend in layers of 

compost or sheep pellets – one or 

the other, not both. Then, rake it 

level and leave to settle for a few 

weeks. 

Seedlings to plant out now 

include silver beet. Look for 

brightly coloured hybrids or the 

mega-sized ‘Ford Hook Giant’, 

which can grow stems up to 1m 

long. 

Rows of radishes can go in, 

too. Try white ‘Hailstone’ for 

something different, or stick 

to the reliable round red ones. 

Remember, both the leaves and 

roots can be eaten. 

Asparagus crowns are dormant 

and ready to be planted. Look for 

the biggest and fattest clumps, 

and avoid anything that are dry 

and withered. 

Spring flowers 

With the official start of spring 

just around the corner it is time 

to start dusting of those vases 

and filling them with spring 

flowers such as daffodils, snow 

drops, hyacinths, anemone, 

ranunculus and irises. When 

picking these flowers, only pick 

the flower stem. Leave the foliage 

in the ground and allow it to die 

down naturally, as this supplies 

the hard-working bulb all the 

nutrients it needs to produce 

flowers for next season. Fill the 

vase to the top with water and 

change it every third day.

Tasty Bites 

Moreish treats using oats and rice flour 

Chock full of fruits, seeds, 

and oats, this muesli bar 

recipe by Joan Bishop is 

a healthy treat. The fat 

content and added sugar 

is low and the tastes and 

textures of the fruits and 

spices blend with and 

enhance the slightly 

nutty flavour of wholegrain 

oats. Then top it off with 

a decadent yet delicate 

black rice steam cake 

Pineapple muesli slice 

Makes 40-44 slices 

Ingredients 

50g butter, chopped 

3 Tbsp honey 

425g can crushed pineapple in 

juice, well drained 

3 Tbsp lime juice 

140g crystallised ginger, chopped 

120g dried apricots, chopped 

120g dried pineapple pieces, 

chopped 

1 large egg, size 7, lightly beaten 

100g pumpkin seeds 

100g sunflower seeds 

100g desiccated coconut 

140g whole grain oats 

100g standard flour 

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

½ tsp ground nutmeg 

THERE’S NO denying that sport 

utility vehicles are the cars of 

choice for today’s buyer. Sales 

figures globally are heavily biased 

in that direction. 

The choice is overwhelming, 

especially in the mid-size 

sector. If family or recreational 

requirements facilitate the 

need for an SUV, but you want 

something just a little bit different 

in your purchase- something 

biased towards sporty - then 

Skoda has the car for you, the 

Kodiaq RS. 

The Kodiaq has been with 

us for a year or so now, and it 

lands here in three variants, an 

entry-level model at $44,990, a 

high-grade Sportline at $64,990, 

and just recently an RS model has 

joined the ranks. The RS sits at 

$71,990 and is characterised by its 

flashy looks, inside and out, and 

high power driveline. 

Herein lies a secret. Under 

the bonnet sits a 2-litre diesel 

engine, and while you wouldn’t 

ordinarily expect diesel to be the 

basis for performance, you have to 

remember that Skoda, in the past 

has had many sports models with 

diesel engines, and I can report 

that is a concept the company does 

very well, even in motorsport. 

Directions 

Place the butter, honey, 

crushed pineapple and lime juice 

in a large saucepan over low heat 

and stir until melted and mixed. 

Add the ginger, apricots and 

dried pineapple. Slowly bring to 

the boil. 

Cover with lid and very gently 

simmer for 5min. Remove from 

the heat and cool well before 

stirring in the beaten egg. 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C 

on bake. Line a slice tin (about 

20cm x 33cm) with non-stick 

In the Kodiaq, the 

turbocharged four-cylinder unit 

pumps out 176kW and a feisty 

500Nm at the bottom end. The 

latter is the ingredient that makes 

the RS so special, not only is the 

specific output high, maximum 

torque is available from 1750rpm 

to 2500rpm, which is the area 

where the engine wants to 

constantly work. As a result, there 

is dynamic engine performance, 

mid-range boost will offer a 

4.2sec overtaking time (80- 

120km/h), and an off-the-mark 

time of 7sec to make 100km/h 

from a standstill. 

Even if you aren’t in a hurry, 

there is a constant willingness 

from the engine that tantalises 

the driver, and if you take into 

account there is manufactured 

exhaust sound which throbs 

constantly, the RS is hard to drive 

without wanting to give it some 

freedom. 

There are several drive modes, 

and depending on which is 

activated the exhaust sound can 

be encouraged or left in a more 

subtle tone. The Kodiaq is also 

a pretty useful off-roader, there 

are modes which channel power 

more usefully through the fourwheel-drive 

platform. 

baking paper. 

Combine the pumpkin seeds, 

sunflower seeds, coconut, 

wholegrain oats, flour, cinnamon 

and nutmeg in a medium-sized 

bowl and mix well. 

Tip the dry ingredients into 

the saucepan containing the 

fruits and stir to mix. This is 

quite a stiff mixture. Tip into the 

lined slice tin. Spread out evenly 

over base of the tin with the back 

of a spoon or wet hands (mixture 

does not stick to wet hands). It is 

important the mixture is pressed 

down firmly into the tin. 

There is also another element 

which adds spice to the 

driveline, power is channelled 

through a seven-speed direct 

shift transmission, and this 

configuration is one of my 

favourites. 

DSG is more of a manual-type 

gearbox, although there are only 

two foot pedals; the beauty of 

this is the lack of load through 

the transmission, engine power 

is mostly unimpeded, and 

with quick shifts the feeling of 

performance is well enhanced. 

I took the test car through 

some of the tight, hilly roads 

close to Sheffield, and although 

the weather had closed in and the 

roads were greasy I felt at ease in 

the RS. Grip in the first instance 

is supplied by sticky Pirelli 

Scorpion tyres (235/45 x 20in) 

and they offer substantial steering 

feel along with direct turn-in. 

Bake in the preheated oven for 

30-35min until set and lightly 

golden. Do not overcook. 

Remove from the oven and 

allow to cool completely in 

the tin. Leave overnight before 

slicing, if time permits. 

Using the baking paper edges, 

lift the slice from the tin and 

place on a chopping board. 

Cut into squares or oblongs as 

desired. 

Black rice steam cake 

Serves 8 

Ingredients 

200g butter 

250g black glutinous rice flour 

6 large eggs 

250g (generous cup) caster sugar 

½ tsp salt 

1 tsp baking powder 

2 Tbsp sweetened condensed 

milk 

½ tsp vanilla extract 

Directions 

You’ll need a cake tin and a 

steaming pan or basket large 

enough to hold it. Melt the butter 

and use a little to grease the 

inside of the cake tin well. Dust 

with just a little black flour to 

help stop the cake sticking. Start 

the water boiling underneath 

It has to be remembered the 

Kodiaq has traditional SUV 

handling, it sits high at almost 

1.7m, and with long-travel 

suspension it isn’t as nimble as 

a sedan, however, the spring 

and damper rates arrest body 

movement well, along with the 

parameters that allow for high 

occupant comfort. You’d expect 

nothing less from this Czech 

Republic manufacturer which has 

drawn significant build quality 

direction from the Volkswagen 

group. 

Perhaps one of the most 

exciting aspects the RS offers is 

the point-to-point ability, it will 

lunge out of corner and blast 

without lag through the paddle 

shift system to the point where 

speed needs to be chiselled off, 

high grade brakes take care of 

that and with the grip naturally 

associated with four-wheel-drive 

the steamer so it is ready for the 

cake. 

In a large bowl, whisk together 

the eggs, sugar and salt to get a 

frothy mixture with the sugar 

dissolved. Stir in the black 

glutinous rice flour and baking 

powder. 

Stirring as you go, gradually 

add the condensed milk, the 

vanilla extract and finally the 

melted butter. Keep stirring 

until the mixture is smooth and 

velvety. 

Pour into the cake tin and sit 

in the steaming basket. 

Wrap the lid with a clean 

tea towel – this will stop water 

dripping on to the cake and 

create a tight seal. 

Steam over a medium-low 

heat (making sure there is always 

water in the pan). How long it 

takes depends on the size and 

shape of your pan – between 

25-40min. 

Check every 5min or so 

towards the end of the cooking 

time. The top should be gently 

springy with not too much 

wobble below; then poke in a 

skewer to check the middle has 

a delicate crumb rather than raw 

batter. 

Remove from the steamer and 

leave to cool for 10min in the tin 

before turning out on to a rack to 

cool. Serve with strawberries. 

Kodiaq RS continues Skoda sport tradition 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

SKODA KODIAQ RS: Sporty variant with diesel engine. 

• Price – Skoda Kodiaq RS, 

$71,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4699mm; width, 2087mm; 

height, 1685mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1968cc, 176kW, 500Nm, 

seven-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km 

the RS feels well attached to the 

road, it is dynamic and forceful 

when asked to respond. 

This is all from a car which 

has a vastly different role to play 

as well, it is the quintessential 

mid-size seven-seater that also 

looks after its occupants in terms 

of fitment and specification and 

safety. At $72k it needs to be well 

appointed, and I can report it 

leaves little to chance. 

It also has fuel economy on its 

side, Skoda claims a combined 

cycle average of 7.7-litres per 

100km (36mpg). 

It takes a very special car to 

win the New Zealand Motoring 

Writer’s Guild Car of the Year 

Award and the Kodiaq took 

honours for 2017. 

Obviously, that recognition 

speaks for itself, the RS adds 

another ingredient into the 

equation, it certainly captured my 

attention with its performance, 

economy yet practicality all 

thrown in for good measure.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Eaves serve 

a purpose 

For centuries, homes have featured 

eaves, created by extending the roof out 

over the sides of the building. This is still 

the main approach to constructing homes 

today. 

Eaves are both an architectural feature 

and functional, protecting the wall 

cladding from the elements and helping 

regulate the sun. 

During the warmer months, the sun is 

higher in the sky. Eaves limit the distance 

it can penetrate into a room with the 

result a cooler house while lessening the 

potential for bleached home furnishings. 

Over winter, the sun sits lower in the sky 

so reaches further into rooms, drawing in 

natural, free heat. 

Most houses in Selwyn have soffits, 

the main reason being a hip or gable 

roof with an overhang is still the most 

affordable way to build. 

While aesthetically appealing, 

incorporating eaves into a roof design 

also helps protect the cladding, keeping it 

cleaner so reducing maintenance with less 

likelihood of ugly water streaks on the 

exterior walls as can occur where a home 

has no overhang. These are particularly 

noticeable where a plaster look has been 

chosen for the external cladding. 

There is also the issue of weather 

tightness. Very seldom do single level 

dwellings with good overhangs become 

leaky homes. The eaves help keep rain off 

the walls where it counts so there is less 

potential for moisture to penetrate the 

walls where they are most vulnerable. 

Most modern homes with an overhang 

have the windows hard up to the soffit. 

This eliminates the need for a head 

flashing (a metal strip that keeps water 

out from above the window). While there 

is the option for the roof to finish flush 

with the start of a wall or have a smaller 

degree of overhang, incorporating a soffit 

means a more straightforward build with 

less materials and labour incurred. When 

the roof is to finish flush with the walls, 

there is a need for more careful design to 

ensure a weatherproof home. Additional 

costs will be incurred due to the need 

for extra features such as flashings over 

Hip & gable roofs with eaves are 

cost effective build options. 

windows and the cladding taken up above 

the window. 

Having generous eaves over entryways 

and windows can keep rain from 

getting into the home, something that is 

particular helpful in the summer when 

wanting to air the house on a muggy 

damp day. 

An added advantage of a home with 

eaves is there can be sheltered garden 

spots for growing frost sensitive plants 

or those which prefer the dry. There may 

also be places to tuck some items up 

against the house so they are out of the 

weather. Stretching the eaves out to create 

a portico offers the opportunity for an 

outdoor space sheltered from the sun and 

rain. 

Porticos offer shelter.
