Age no barrier
for this
world No 1
• By Gordon Findlater
COMPLETING AN ironman
at 70-years-old is impressive in
itself.
However, Tai-Tapu resident
Shirley Rolston is so accustomed
to the feat she backed up her latest
by competing in a half ironman
the following weekend.
On December 1, Rolston won
the women’s 70-74 age category at
the Ironman Western Australia.
She also broke the race record
in her category with a time of
15hr 43min 11sec over the 3.9km
swim, 180km bike and 42.1km
run.
She then flew from Perth to
Auckland before grabbing a
rental to car to drive south to
win the same category in the 70.3
Taupo half ironman in 7hr 23min
25sec on December 7.

Fatal
crash
car went
through
stop sign
• By Devon Bolger
THE CAR involved in a fatal
crash near Lincoln on Saturday
travelled through a stop sign, it
can be revealed.
One person in the vehicle died
and two others were critically
injured.
Constable Blair Croucher said
the vehicle was travelling east
along Tancreds Rd about 4.30pm
when it failed to stop at the intersection
with Ellesmere Rd, colliding
with a southbound vehicle.
“As a result of that, an occupant
of the eastbound car has died at
the scene and the two other occupants
of that same vehicle are in
critical condition in Christchurch
Hospital,” he said.
Constable Croucher would not
say if the people involved in the
crash were from the Selwyn district,
only saying they were from
Canterbury.
Two people in the vehicle
travelling south on Ellesmere Rd
escaped serious injury and were
taken to Christchurch Hospital
for observation.

THE DISTRICT is riddled with
intersections. It is at these spots where
motorists are at their most vulnerable.
On Saturday, there was another major
smash, this time at the intersection of
Ellesmere and Tancreds Rds. The outcome
– one dead and two critical (see page 1).
A vehicle heading east on Tancreds drove straight through the
stop sign, collecting another vehicle heading south on Ellesmere
Rd.
The police investigation will hopefully determine why the
driver didn’t stop at the intersection. But that will be little
comfort for the person’s family, which face as grim a Christmas
as can be imagined.
But it’s not intersections which are dangerous – it’s the driver.
Always keep your eye out for what other motorists on the road
are doing.

District Plan
cost may blow out
• By Devon Bolger
THE REVIEW of the District
Plan is expected to exceed its
budget and reach a cost of $1.2
million for this financial year.
The plan is essentially the district’s
rule book on how land can
be used and developed.
The budget for the project
for the 2019/20 financial year is
$805,000.
A district council report said
that budget is expected to be
exceeded by about $400,000 in
order to deliver the new proposed
District Plan for notification in
April.
District council group manager
corporate services Greg Bell said
in spite of the extra cost, they will
continue with their plan for the
review.
“Additional costs are being
incurred because the dynamic
nature of the project means we
need to carry out additional work
on certain topics that are identified
during the project.”
Selwyn Times asked the district
council if this will affect ratepayers.
Mr Bell said:
“Although the
final position
will not be
known until
the end of the
financial year,
we do not anticipate
that the
Greg Bell
increased cost
of the project will have a direct
impact on future rate levels.”
The significance of the project
ONLY 20%
TICKETS REMAINING
to the future of the district means
that it is not a project they are
willing to short cut, he said,
The report presented at the
district council meeting last week
said the increase in cost is due
to additional workstreams being
undertaken.
“These were not anticipated
to be completed as part of the
review but were directed to be
undertaken by the District Plan
committee.

BLOW OUT:
The District
Plan review
may cost
$400,000
more than
budgeted. ​
“This has resulted in additional
cost than what was originally
planned for, in the order of $80-
100k for this 2019/20 financial
year alone,” the report said
In 2015, the district council
agreed to undertake a full review of
the District Plan which will lead to
the development of a new one.
As at October 31, $354,931
has been spent on a review of it
against a year to date budget of
$248,831.
In Brief
TRUCK CAUSES OIL SPILL
A mechanical fault in a truck
and trailer engine caused a 500m
oil spill along Main South Rd
between Burnham and Rolleston
on Tuesday. Rolleston chief fire
officer Cam Kenyon said the
vehicle’s engine blew which
created the spill at about 3.30pm.
The road had to be reduced to
one lane until about 6pm when
the oil had been cleared.
NO CUTS TO POLICE
Police stations in the district
will not lose officers to bolster
numbers in Rolleston. Mayor
Sam Broughton met with
Canterbury police last week to
discuss their plans for staffing.
He said they confirmed there
would be no loss of staff from
the other stations to allow
Rolleston to run 24-7 across
the district. “This is great
news for our smaller stations.
The work the police do in our
community is invaluable.”
Selwyn Times previously
reported the district’s policing
is currently being reviewed with
the major emphasis on planning
for a better-resourced station at
Rolleston.

No sign of calling it quits
• From page 1
Rolston is currently ranked No
1 in the world for her age group
over the ironman distance and
ninth in the half ironman distance.
However, she admits the
commitment to the endurance
racing does result in a sore body.
“You usually appreciate a massage
and depending if you run
the whole way your legs feel terrible,
but I’ve got to a stage where
I refuse to run the whole way
and being a race walker I can
walk as fast as I can run almost if
I’m tired,” said Rolston.
The effort in Western Australia
also qualified her for the Ironman
World Championships in
Kona, Hawaii, in October. It will
be her seventh time competing
at the event. This year Rolston
achieved her best result at Kona,
finishing fifth in her age group.
Competing in close to 50
ironman events, you would find
it hard to believe she didn’t do
her first until later in life. In
fact, she only began doing short
distance triathlons following the
birth of the youngest of her five
children.
“The ironman was basically a
challenge for my 50th birthday.
A friend informed me that
him and some his mates from
Dunedin, for their 50th birthday
MULTI-TALENTED: Shirley Rolston is also a national record
holder on the athletics track and in 24-hour running.
‘You usually appreciate a
massage and depending
if you run the whole way
your legs feel terrible’
– Shirley Rolston
the challenge was to do an iron
and he said to me: ‘Well you’re
a female, but you can do the
challenge to if you like.’ Of that
group of six or so, I’m the only
one still regularly doing ironman,”
she said.
Rolston resident is no stranger
to records outside of ironman
either. In 2016 she broke the
national women’s 65-69 24-hour
running record by completing
129.681km. Rolston also holds a
national 5000m track record in
the same age group.
As for when she plans to call
it quits on breaking age group
records Rolston says: “We’ll wait
and see, as long as I can.”
For now her focus is on
completing Ironman New
Zealand in Taupo in March.
Later that month she will take on
her next challenge by travelling
to Europe to walk the Camino
Frances trail which stretches
780km from French Pyrenees
to Santiago de Compostela in
Spain.

POLICE HAVE begun their
Christmas campaign to stop
drink driving in the district.
Sergeant Alex Pickover said
they see an increase in the behaviour
during this time of year.
“There are a lot of Christmas
dos and people on holiday
around this time and there are
people who do drink and drive,
we are catching people doing it.”
The campaign was launched
last week and will continue
throughout the Christmas and
new year period.
One of the key moves will be
breathalysing every driver who
is pulled over, Sergeant Pickover
said.
“If you’re stopped by the police
while driving you will be put
Crash ‘easily preventable’

“The serious crash unit
is investigating and at
this stage, we are unable

on patrolling controlled
intersections in the lead-up

More alcohol checkpoints

you’ve been drinking or not.”
There will also be an increase
in alcohol checkpoints in the
area, he said.
Sergeant Pickover said their
advice is if you are unsure
whether you are over the limit,
don’t drive.
“Just make other arrangements
or stay sober if you don’t have an
appropriate ride home.”
He said the campaign is about
spreading preventative messages
as well.
“If you’re caught under the
influence you’re disqualified from
driving, you run the risk of losing
your job, there’s a monetary fine
and you no longer have a means
of transport. It can cause a lot of
issues for you”
“It is just a timely reminder
for everybody travelling on
rural roads to take their
time, take care and be
aware that many of our
roads are obviously
controlled by give way and
stop signs.
“It’s very sad but
disappointing at the
same time. It was very
easily preventable,” said
Constable Croucher.

Council U-turn on banning
roadside sale of cars
• By Devon Bolger
THE DISTRICT council
has done a U-turn on
banning the roadside
advertising of cars for sale.
You can now advertise
your vehicle for sale on the
road as long as it is within
20m of where you live.
The district council recently
undertook a review
of the traffic and parking
bylaw which led to a number
of proposed changes.
One of the amendments
would ban the roadside
advertising of vehicles for
sale which was allowed
in the former bylaw with
consent.
But a report that was
presented to district councillors
at a meeting last
week said this amendment
has now been changed.
“Following consultation,
this has been expanded to
allow the vehicle to be for
sale if parked outside the
place of residence and during
the normal use of the
vehicle.
District councillors voted
to adopt the new traffic
LEGAL: Advertising your car for sale on the road is
now allowed as long as it is within 20m of where
you live.
and parking bylaw at the
meeting.
Five submissions were
received during the public
consultation period for
the bylaw.
The main topic in four
of the submissions was the
amendment to the sale of
vehicles which submitters
opposed.
They were considered by
a sub-committee consisting
of councillors Mark
Alexander and Sophie
McInnes.

Dickson gets naked
to celebrate milestone
WEST MELTON’S Sam
Dickson celebrated his 50th
tournament for the All Blacks
sevens side in style by replicating
the naked celebration photo
which went viral after their
World Cup success last year.
This time it was Dickson going
starkers, with Kurt Baker - the
player who had the honour for
the original photo - holding
him aloft after the team’s 7-5
win over South Africa to win
the World Rugby Sevens Series
tournament in Cape Town.
The 30-year-old has been
an integral part of the New
Zealand sevens set up for a
number of years, part of the side
that claimed silver at the Commonwealth
Games in Glasgow
in 2014, going one better to win
gold on the Gold Coast last year.
He was also a member of the
aclandpark.co.nz
0800 ACLAND
New Zealand side that took part
in the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Dickson played his junior
rugby for West Melton before
playing first XV rugby for St
Thomas of Canterbury College.
After secondary school he
returned for West Melton and
played for a number of Ellesmere
and Canterbury Country rep
sides.
NAKED: Celebrating his
50th tournament for the All
Blacks sevens, and a win in
the latest South African leg
of the World Rugby Sevens
Series, West Melton’s Sam
Dickson sits naked on the
shoulders of Kurt Baker,
replicating the viral photo

by Baker himself.
BATTLE: Wards
Rd resident
Grant Prescott
has now taken
his fight to the
Ombudsman’s
office.
Road fight goes to Ombudsman
• By Devon Bolger
THE DARFIELD man battling
the district council over his
unsealed road has now taken his
fight to the Ombudsman’s office.
Grant Prescott represents 14
residents on Wards Rd who have
been lobbying for the road to be
sealed between Charing Cross
and Greendale Rd.
In his complaint, he said the
district council needs guidance
on the complaints process and
disciplinary action should be
taken against some staff.
Selwyn Times reported Mr
Prescott’s claims against the district
council last month.
It came after a report into
Wards Rd said its condition is
“average” and there were no
Canterbury’s fastest selling
new subdivision
potholes.
Mr Prescott said that statement
and data is “misleading” and
“incorrect.”
“It appears to be a selective partial
report which is abhorrent,”
he said.
Selwyn Times asked the district
council to respond to Mr
Prescott’s claims.
Team leader transportation
Mark Chamberlain said the information
in the report was from
an assessment that was carried
out by an experienced contractor
in September.
“On the day he assessed
the road he did not note any
potholes. On another day there
may have been potholes, because
of the changing of the condition
of unsealed roads” he said.

Street barbecue a success
A NEIGHBOURHOOD
barbecue on Ritso St in
Darfield attracted almost
every resident of the street.
Resident Michael
Schionnemann organised
the event to bring people
who live on Ritso St together.
“It was great to see the
whole neighbourhood
coming together for a great
Christmas party. Nearly
the whole street turned
up,” he said.
Mayor Sam Broughton
stopped by to spend some
time at the event.
“We showed him what
we have been doing to

the house and he had a
chance to talk to a few of
our neighbours. We had
a really good talk,” Mr
Schionnemann said.
Mr Schionnemann said
it was a great experience
for all involved.
“We have been in Darfield
just over a year and
we have found that people
in this little town has been
very friendly and helpful.”
Mr Broughton said it was
really nice to meet some
of the residents of Ritso
Street.
“It’s a very friendly street
enjoyed by young and old.
Michael and Yvette have
put a lot of love into their
home and were the hosts
for the event.
“With many new people
having made Selwyn their
home over the past year a
street barbecue is a great
way to get to know your
neighbours and make new
friends.”

A big shout out to
all the grandparents
ALTHOUGH NANS deserve all
the praise the headline alludes
to, to be honest this is more a
shout out to Vittoria’s Nan.
It’s not news having young
kids presenting a hurdle getting
to things you want or need to
do.
I mean, your call, but having
an erratic, wilful and tantrumprone
third wheel or work
assistant isn’t ideal, and it’s worse
when they’re a toddler.
So I’m eternally grateful for
my mum’s help over the last
week with some bubs-watching
(and obviously all the other
times before that she, my stepdad
or dad have helped us out
immeasurably beforehand). I
mean it’s not the first time by
any means, but it’s my first column
about it.
Not only did she watch
Vittoria at her place for a full
day for me last week, but she
also came to ours and watched
Vittoria yet again on Monday so
Laura and I could complete the
goal of one date a month over
the year.
While we enjoyed the sort
of time to ourselves you never
really appreciate in those B.C.
(before children) years, Vittoria
was busy exploring, playing or
getting the sort of treats only a
nan will give.
In one day with Nan, Vittoria
had her first homemade
play dough, walked dogs, got
ice cream, ‘helped’ around the
house, read books and burned
through clothes by playing with
a bucket of water. So thank
you very much mum, you are
awesome. I fully expect I’ll be
churning through my goodwill
points and your patience with
plenty more grand-babysitting
in future.
In more tinsel-tinged news,
we’ve got Vittoria’s Christmas
presents ready and wrapped.
Well, Laura’s got them wrapped,
I just provided encouragement
from the sidelines. You’d know
why if I’d ever wrapped a gift for
you.
No spoilers here, you’ll have to
wait if you really want to know
what she’s getting. I can’t risk
letting the cat out of the bag in
the insanely slim chance Vittoria
VITTORIA
& Matt
FUN: Water and buckets combine to excite Vittoria.
learns to read between now and
Christmas.
The last thing I need to arrange
is Vittoria’s Christmas stocking
and organise the logistics on how
Father Christmas is going to fill it
on Christmas Eve. He’s not visited
this house yet, so I’d best get a plan
ready for him.
I also better let Vittoria know
that Santa’s old school and
would prefer stout and a pie to a
glass of milk and biscuits when
he gets here.

has become a stay-athome
dad. We follow his
journey weekly
BACKYARD CRITTERS
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in
entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each
week he introduces a new species found in his
backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates
found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section
Moth not to be
confused with a wasp
LAST WEEK I saw my first
currant clearwing on our
property in Lincoln.
You would be forgiven for not
picking this as a moth as it looks
nothing like one unless you
check the darker wingtips under
a microscope for the tell-tale
scales.
The confusion is due to them
looking, sounding and behaving
like a wasp which helps protect it
from predators.
THeir mostly membraneous
wings, yellow and black stripes,
fan-like tail and buzz when
flying are distinguishing
characteristics of this species.
Four yellow bands on males and
only three on females help to
distinguish the sexes.
Known scientifically as
Synanthedon tipuliformis, this
day-flying moth is about 12mm
long and has a wingspan of 16-
20mm. The moth was accidently
introduced into New Zealand
from Europe and is also found in
Southern Australia and parts of
the United States.
Around December, adult
females lay an average of 100
eggs on buds, leaf scars and
pruning cuts on blackcurrants,
redcurrants or gooseberries and
two weeks later the larvae hatch
and burrow into the canes to eat
the pith.
Foraging by larvae hollow out
and weaken the canes, causing
a reduction in sap flow and
yields. No significant predators
for this pest are reported in New
Zealand.

FROM THE club triumphs, to
national records, selections and
personal accomplishments, it
was a big year for sport in the
district.
Southbridge claimed their
third title in four years with a 16-
12 win over Darfield at Prebbleton
Oval thanks to some resolute
defence in the final 10min.
The result also meant Darfield’s
113-year wait to win the
shield for the first time would
stretch at least one more year.
There was no Ellesmere team
in the final of the Country
Combined competition after
Glenmark-Cheviot beat Southern
in extra time in the final
after game was deadlocked at
31-all after 80min.
Darfield flanker Haigh Jebson
was named senior player of the
year at the annual Ellesmere
Rugby Awards in October.
Lincoln prop Isaac Roth was
named under-21 player of the
year after propping the Ellesmere
scrum to a Southbridge Shield
victory over North Canterbury.
Lincoln No 8 Sam Henderson
was named under-19 player of
the year.
Scott McIlroy was named
rugby personality of the year.
Kim Thackwell was recognised
for her long-time commitment
to rugby with both Prebbleton
and Ellesmere by being named
volunteer of the year.
Jebson capped a strong club
campaign with being a key
member of Ellesmere’s Southbridge
Shield winning team during
the representative season.
Lincoln Combined captain
and utility back Wil Gualter
was named in the New Zealand
schools’ team, the first such honour
for someone from Lincoln
High School.
The Lincoln Combined team
finished ninth in the UC Championship,
while they did earn a
spirited draw against competition
heavyweights, Christ’s College,
they struggled for consistency
throughout the season.
Broadfield beat Greenpark
A 63-50 in the Selwyn premier
netball final in September after
being the team to beat for much
of the season after qualifying
top-of-the-table.
The result was a level of
revenge after Greenpark A had
upset Broadfield by one goal in
the decider 12 months ago.
Leeston-Southbridge won both
the premier 45-over competition
and the twenty20 title in Canterbury
Country cricket.
Selwyn Swim Club’s Ella Benn
and Celyn Edwards each excelled
in the pool.
Benn broke the New Zealand
women’s S9 100m butterfly
record during the national shortcourse
championships at Auckland
in October. with a time of
1min 27.80sec.
Benn was also named female
para-swimmer of the year at the
Canterbury West Coast swimming
awards.
Edwards earned two top eight
international rankings in the
World Para-Swimming Championships
at the London Aquatic
Centre, in September.
He was New Zealand’s flagbearer
at the opening ceremony,
swam a personal best to finish
sixth in the final of the men’s
100m S8 backstroke with a time
of 1min 12.94sec.
He backed that up with eighth
in the 100m S9 butterfly final in
a time of 1min 09.03sec.
The multi-talented Lincoln
High School sports woman
Millie Thompson excelled at
multiple sports this year.
FINALLY: Broadield A won the Selwyn premier netball title 63-
50 over Greenpark A in September after they came up short by
one goal in the decider a year earlier.
WINNER: Southbridge captain
Luke Palmer holds up the
Coleman Shield after his team
hung on for a tense 16-12 win
over Darfield in the final at
Prebbleton Oval, in July.

Support for growing
tourism industry
More improvements to the district’s tourism infrastructure have been confirmed with government
support passing $1 million.
Two new public toilets have been confirmed to replace the existing toilets at Hororata Reserve and
Lake Coleridge, after the Council received a $332,600 funding grant from the latest round of the
Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
The district has now received $1.1 million in grants from the fund, including for public toilet and
waste water system upgrades. The district has also received $223,600 from the Responsible
Camping Fund to cover extra staff and campground maintenance over the summer season.
Council’s Open Space and Strategy Manager Mark Rykers says the funding is a boost to help the
district support the growing numbers of tourists visiting Selwyn.
“We’re pleased to have continued support from the government, which recognises the level of
tourist activity in the district. We work hard to try and ensure these visitors have a great time in
the district and we are very appreciative of this funding, which is an important investment for us
in this work.”
Both Hororata and Lake Coleridge have been among the centres in the district seeing that
increase in tourist and visitor numbers and the funding allowed the Council to bring forward its
plans to carry out needed upgrades to both toilet blocks.
The plan is to provide four unisex toilet stalls, including one with an accessible toilet, at Lake
Coleridge and five unisex toilet stalls, including one with an accessible toilet, at Hororata Reserve,
along with a new waste water system for the block.
The fund includes a contribution towards the running costs of the toilet blocks for two years and
the Council hopes to have both toilet blocks installed by the middle of 2020.
Festive feel for
citizenship ceremony
There was a festive atmosphere amid the celebrations for the final
citizenship ceremony of the year.
A group of 29 people from 11 different nationalities took the oath of
allegiance to become New Zealanders. They included new citizens
originally from Russia, Chile, Nigeria, Cambodia and the United
States of America.
In a festive touch, Mayor Sam Broughton broke out his guitar
for the singing of the national anthem, before leading the group
in two Christmas Carols, Silent Night and Feliz Navidad, to round
out the evening.
Several of the new citizens spoke of searching the world before
choosing New Zealand as a place to settle.
Thomas Lowton said he and his family were touring the world after
he retired from the British Army in 2012. “We landed in New Zealand
and we didn’t want to leave anymore,” he said.
Montana farmer and engineer CJ Johansson said he and his wife
were also searching the world for a place to make a new start after
he lost his job.
“We were looking for a place at least as nice as Montana. We found
New Zealand and it turned out we were right, it’s at least as nice
and we’re very happy living here and becoming citizens.”
Many of the group noted the warm welcome they had received
from their new country when they moved here, including eightyear-old
Megan Nelson, originally from South Africa. “Thank you for
welcoming us and letting us become New Zealanders. Thank you,”
she said.
It was the first ceremony back at the Council offices in Rolleston
after five months away with ceremonies at West Melton Community
and Recreation Centre and Tai Tapu Community Centre while work
was done on the Rolleston building.
Major district projects under way
Ground has been broken and work is on track on three major projects for the district.

Clean bill of health for drinking water
Selwyn’s drinking water has received a clean bill of health for complying with drinking water standards
under the Health Act – with more improvements to come.
The Council’s drinking water supplies were passed as complying with national drinking water standards
for dealing with bacteria and nitrate levels in the Canterbury District Health Board’s annual compliance
report. Nitrate levels were tested in four water supplies and all were found to be below the maximum
allowable levels.
The report showed 26 of the 27 water supplies tested were compliant with standards for E-Coli, with
Arthur’s Pass having one E-Coli transgression when levels of E-Coli passed the allowed levels. A new
treatment plant is planned for Arthur’s Pass next year.
The report found 17 of 27 supplies tested complied
with requirements around protozoa, but seven supplies
needed UV treatment upgrades. The Council has
completed two of the upgrades and has committed
to carrying out the remaining upgrades in the coming
year, Council Group Manager Infrastructure Murray
Washington says.
“It’s good to have the confirmation once again that our
drinking water is of good quality and potable, but work
is still needed to make sure we’re providing the best
systems we can and keep up with changing drinking
water standards. We have a major project of upgrades
happening this year at treatment plants across the
district, installing UV and filtration systems where they
are needed and expanding supply.”

Chamberlain stars for
Leeston-Southbridge
SPORT
SELWYN TIMES
• By Jacob Page
LEESTON-Southbridge can
relax over the festive break at
the top of country cricket after
a hard-fought close win over
Lincoln at the weekend.
Harry Chamberlain’s fine
Country premier one-day season
continued with a match-defining,
run-a-ball 62 at Lincoln
Domain on Saturday.
Leeston-Southbridge’s first innings
was dominant with 184 for
nine in their allotted 45 overs.
Chamberlain, who enjoyed a
500-run off-season playing in
Darwin, was again in the game
with the ball, grabbing key toporder
wickets and helping reduce
Lincoln to 34 for three in their
chase.
Middle-order batsman Liam
Robinson gave Lincoln a sniff of
victory, with a fine 51 off 89 balls.
After he was dismissed, the
tail wagged valiantly but the
defending champions held their
nerve to secure a 10-run win, as
Lincoln stalled at 174 for nine
after 45 overs.
At Southbrook Park, the home
side thumped Weedons by eight
wickets to keep in touch with the
competition leaders.
Imposing new ball attack Sam
Ermerins and Arafat Bhuiyan
knocked off Weedons’ quality
top-order before Darryn Boyle
rattled through the middle
order.
Limping to 132 all out in 40
overs, it was never going to be
enough and the ‘Brook coasted
home, largely thanks to an
impressive unbeaten 93 by Matt

FOR THE second time in as
many years, the Lincoln High
School mixed touch team’s hopes
for a national title were dashed
by Howick College.
The Auckland school prevailed
in the final 12 months ago and
triumphed 6-4 in the semi-final,
at Rotorua’s Westbrook Park on
Sunday.
It was Lincoln High School’s
STAR: Leeston-Southbridge’s
Harry Chamberlain was
impressive with both bat and
ball in two fixtures for his club
team over the weekend.
Boyle, whose innings included
17 fours and two sixes, and came
off just 65 balls.
A mammoth innings of 165
from Rhys Mariu lifted Oxford-
Rangiora to a superb 26-run win
over Cheviot on Saturday.
Mariu, fresh from being
named in the 15-man New Zealand
under-19 squad to compete
in the Cricket World Cup 2020
in South Africa in January-
February, was ruthless in demolishing
the Magpies’ attack.
Oxford-Rangiora made an
imposing 279 for five in their 45
overs and would prove too many
for Cheviot to chase, in spite of a
brilliant 97 from Ben Hartland.
Jake Waghorn ripped through
Cheviot’s middle-order, snaring
seven wickets and helping complete
the strong victory.
first loss in seven games during
the tournament.
Howick College went on to win
back-to-back titles.
Lincoln won all three games
on day one convincingly, beating
Palmerston North’s Awatapu
College 11-4, Patea Area School
14-0 and Massey High School
9-3.
Day two went in a similar fashion
as they beat Orewa College
9-3, South Otago High School
Sefton got back to winning
ways with a complete team
performance in beating Darfield
by 37 runs.
Eight batsmen in double figures,
led by a quick-fire 40 from
Canterbury paceman Fraser
Sheat batting at number four,
saw the Seals post 202 all out.
Zak Foulkes (55 runs off 74
balls) and Tim Boyle (52 off 69)
got the chase off to a flying start,
hoisting Darfield to a commanding
115 for one in 24 overs.
But when they both fell in
quick succession, Darfield crumpled
to be all out for 165, with
Barry Cross the chief destroyer,
claiming four for 27.
The competition will resume
with round nine on January 11.
Leeston-Southbridge capped a
busy weekend by winning their
national club knockout twenty20
encounter against Pleasant Point
by eight wickets at Mainpower
Oval on Sunday.
Leeston-Southbridge restricted
Pleasant Point to 105 for nine
from their 20 overs with wickets
shared between Harry Chamberlain,
Tim Gruijters and Sam
Chamberlain, who each took
two wickets.
Harry then added an unbeaten
45 as they cruised to the target
with 11 balls to spare.
Leeston-Southbridge will play
Lancaster Park on January 19 in
the Canterbury final.
Canterbury Country will host
Nelson this weekend in their
second Hawke Cup match of the
season at Rangiora’s Mainpower
Oval.
Lincoln unable to recover from slow start
7-1 and Wanganui’s Cullinane
College 8-6 with the team holding
their nerve as the contest got
close.
Lincoln were unable to overcome
a slow start in the first half
to extract revenge from the loss
12 months prior.
They did win the second half
3-1 but by that point, the South
Island champions were too far
behind to make the comeback
they needed.
COMMANDING: Rolleston-Killinchy No 1 Nathan McKenzie,
seen here playing last month, won all three of his matches as
his team beat Kirwee-Springston 10-6 in Canterbury Country
premier tennis, on Saturday. ​
Rolleston-Killinchy
move up tennis ladder
• By Jacob Page
ROLLESTON-Killinchy moved
to second on the Canterbury
Country premier tennis ladder
after a 10 matches to six win over
Kirwee-Springston, on Saturday.
West Melton will go into the
Christmas break undefeated
after four rounds as they swept
aside Prebbleton-Lincoln 13
matches to three while Tai Tapu
had to default to Fernside due to
a lack of players,
Ellesmere Tennis president,
Jason McKenzie said he was
surprised by the ease of West
Melton’s win given how competitive
Prebbleton-Lincoln had been
during the second phase of the
season.
“It goes to show just how
strong West Melton is this year,”
he said.
“Even with players away they
still find ways to win,” he said.
It was Rolleston-Killinchy’s
women’s singles trio of Lyndsay
Dick, Mel Williams and Marika
Templeman which turned the
contest in their team’s favour.
With teammate Zoe Gilmore
struggling with a calf issue, the
trio won each of their singles
game, after the men’s singles had
been split 2-2.
Rolleston-Killinchy’s men’s No
1 Nathan McKenzie also had a
strong day, winning his singles
encounter against Dave Ashton
9-0 and then also winning his
doubles and mixed doubles
encounter.
West Melton’s No 1 Luke Tanner
was away at the nationals in
Auckland, but the competition
favourites welcomed home Grayson
Cullen.
“Grayson has been over in
America playing tennis on
scholarship and is back for the
Christmas break, McKenzie said.
Cullen has been playing his
tennis in Kentucky.
“He’s a very handy player to
call-in with Luke away, in many
respects, West Melton lose nothing
with him in the team.”
He was able to play with
younger brother Blake for the
day.
West Melton won all four
men’s singles with Grayson adding
a doubles and mixed doubles

PETS & PAWS
Keep pets safe over summer
Summer is the perfect time to get out and
about with your pets. And to help make
sure your pet’s summer gets off on the right
paw, SPCA offer the following tips…
• Hot hours The sun is at its
fiercest between 10am and 4pm,
so be extra vigilant with your
pet between these times. Keep a
close eye on pets that are older,
overweight, flat faced, or have thick
fur, who might struggle in the heat.
• Shade Make sure your pet has
plenty of shade and adequate
shelter to protect them from the
weather, including sun, wind, and
rain. Doghouses are not considered
good shade during the summer
as they can trap heat – utilise tree
shade or tarpaulins as they don’t
obstruct air flow.
• Water Pets need access to fresh
water, and in summer this is
crucially important. Pets should
always have clean water that is in
a shady spot. Remember to take
water and a travel water bowl on
summertime walks.
• Hot paws Hot ground can burn
the pads of your pet’s paws and
leave them sore, blistered and red.
Check if it is a safe temperature
for them to walk on by holding

the back of your hand on the
pavement or sand for five seconds.
If it is too hot for you to hold
your hand there, then your pet
shouldn’t be out walking on it!
• Sunburn Pets that are fair-skinned
or light-furred are particularly
susceptible to the sun’s harsh rays.
Skin cancer can occur commonly
in dogs and cats, so use petfriendly
(not human) sunblock
applied every three to four hours
to areas such as tips of ears, end of
nose, and stomach.
• Heatstroke The obvious signs
of a dog who is suffering heat
stroke are excessive panting and
showing signs of discomfort,
such as restlessness and shade
seeking behaviour. Cats will pant
and may have sweaty paws. More
severe symptoms include loss
of consciousness and seizures.
Any hot environment can cause
heatstroke, with hot cars being
a particularly dangerous place
for pets to be left alone in. A
body temperature of over 40°C
is often fatal.
BE AWARE OF RIVERS
AND WATERWAYS
Hot weather also brings with it the
dangers of algae blooms in still water or
shallow rivers, particularly after periods
of little rainfall. Check Council websites
for alerts about algae blooms in your
area or visit www.lawa.org.nz/exploredata/canterbury-region/swimming

GOING ON HOLIDAY?
Make sure your pets are adequately being cared for either in a pet care facility or
visited daily by a pet caregiver who will feed, exercise if required, and make sure your
pet/s have a plentiful fresh water supply and shade at all times.
Dogs die in hot cars
It takes just 15 minutes. If it’s hot outside,
it’s sure to be like an oven in your car and
that heat could be fatal for your dog...
If it’s hot and you’re likely to need to leave
your dog in the car, it’s kinder and safer to
leave it at home. Animals can sustain brain
damage or even die from heatstroke in just
15 minutes.

Changes recommended
for winter grazing practices
WE BUILD STRUCTURES & RELATIONSHIPS TO LAST
Warm & Healthy Affordable Homes
TRANSPORTABLE / 8 - 10 WEEK BUILD TIME OR BUILT ON SITE
A Taskforce has made 11
recommendations to improve animal
welfare in intensive winter grazing farm
systems, said Minister of Agriculture
Damien O’Connor.
“I established the Winter Grazing
Taskforce in response to concerns about
the impacts on animal welfare of some
intensive winter grazing practices,” Mr
O’Connor said.
“The Taskforce did a stocktake of the
multiple initiatives that are already under
way to promote good winter grazing
and identify where we might work more
together to improve practices.”
Recommendations include:
• More work to understand and
mitigate the long-term animal welfare
consequences of intensive winter
grazing practices
• Expand knowledge of barriers to
adopting improved animal welfare
practices
• More active surveillance to ensure
animal welfare standards are being met
• The establishment of a pan-sector
action group to implement the
recommendations
“Winter crop grazing is necessary in
some parts of the country to provide
enough feed for stock at a time when
there’s not a lot of pasture, but we must
ensure farmers have the right tools and
advice to ensure animal welfare.
“As a Government, we’re committed to
working alongside farmers to maintain
their ability to export on our valuable New
Zealand brand and open up new trading
markets. Our international reputation
depends on getting this sort of thing right,
as does our social licence to operate within
New Zealand.
“Some farmers manage this system very
well but for those who don’t – we’ve got to
find a way of doing it better and help them
do so.
“Following the taskforce’s report, I’ve
asked the Ministry for Primary Industries
(MPI) to work with farmers and industry
groups to ensure farmers get the help they
need.
“I know that many farmers are already
changing and adapting their practice and I
thank them for the effort. We want to help
in that work.
“The next step will be the establishment
of an action group to begin implementing
the recommendations so we can see some
progress next winter and beyond”.

ClearTech a game changer
for Lincoln dairy farmer
A revolutionary dairy effluent treatment
system is delivering enormous
environmental benefits for Lincoln dairy
farmer Tom Mason.
Ravensdown’s ClearTech system,
developed in conjunction with Lincoln
University, uses a coagulant to bind
effluent particles together to settle them
out from the water. This clarifying process
reduces freshwater use, helps existing
effluent storage go further and reduces the
environmental and safety risks linked with
farm dairy effluent (FDE).
Mason, who runs 550 cows on his
150ha operation at Green Park Dairy,
says ClearTech is an environmental
gamechanger. Given dairy effluent is
99% water, it makes commercial and
environmental sense to recycle the water
using the ClearTech system.
“We’re in a sensitive environmental area
here that is also quite densely populated,”
Tom says. “So, we were really looking for
the next level on environmental mitigation
and that’s what got us interested in
ClearTech.
“It has significantly increased our
effluent storage capacity. We’ve got
capacity at the moment that meets the
councils’ requirements, but we want more
than that and ClearTech gives us three
times the capacity and that means there
are fewer days we have to spread effluent.”
But it’s in freshwater conservation that
ClearTech really comes into its own.
“We’re using recycled water to wash
the cow yard each day and that’s at least
30,000 litres of water per milking that
we’re no longer using,” says Tom. “When
we’re milking twice a day, we’re saving up
to 60,000 litres of freshwater a day.”
With many lifestyle blocks in the area,
and heightened concerns about effluent
runoff and odour, Tom sees ClearTech
as being an investment in his ongoing
environmental and social licence to farm.
“We’re maintaining our right to keep
dairy farming here. There are real
pressures on this area, with subdivision
into lifestyle blocks, so we need to be
doing the right thing. ClearTech is an
important tool helping us to do that.”
ClearTech product manager Carl Ahlfeld
says the innovative, award-winning system
not only made environmental sense, but
commercial sense as well.
“Reducing compliance risks, saving on
pumping, effluent storage costs are the
bottom-line benefits to those farmers
who also want to do the right thing in
terms of reducing water use and reducing
environmental impact.
“ClearTech is ideal for dairy farmers
who want to save on effluent pond storage
and take back control of their capacity and
compliance.
“Stripping out the E. coli and other
bacteria in farm dairy effluent means
cleaner water to wash down the dairy yard
or irrigate on to paddocks and less volume
of effluent that has to be stored and used
safely. The nutrients in the effluent can be
reused back on to paddocks with minimal
Lincoln dairy farmer Tom Mason.
odour.”
The research behind ClearTech has been
published in internationally peer-reviewed
scientific papers (Cameron and Di:
Journal of Soils and Sediments, January
3, 2019: doi.org/10.1007/s11368-018-

Gardening
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
SELWYN TIMES
A sensational time to be in the garden
SUMMER IS here and it’s a
heavenly month to be in the
home garden.
Summer flowers are in full
bloom, harvesting the first
summer vegetables begins,
strawberries are growing heavily
with delicious crops and the bees
are buzzing.
Vegetable garden – Summer
salad vegetables planted in
early spring will now be ready for
harvest. Continue regular plantings
of ‘quick maturing’ vegetables
like dwarf beans and radishes
to ensure continuous harvesting.
Towards the end of December,
start mulching your developing
vegetables to help with the
retention of soil moisture and
control weed growth. Apply side
dressings of vegetable fertiliser
to ‘slow-maturing’ vegetables like
sweet corn and tomatoes. Early
planted potatoes can be dug up
for Christmas. Water your vegetable
plants when required and
‘deeply’ for the development of a
strong root system.
Flowering annuals –
Brighten up parts of the garden
and large containers by planting
‘classic’ summer flowering annuals.
These include ageratum,
cornflower, cosmos, marigolds,
petunias, portulacas, salvias,
strawflowers and zinnias. Prepare
new flower-beds thoroughly
by adding generous amounts
of compost to the existing soil
before planting.
Strawberries – The homegarden
strawberry patch should
be at its peak in December.
Place pea straw, hay or crushed
bark around plants to keep the
strawberries clean. Cover the
patch with bird netting as birds
are rather partial to strawberries.
Water when required.
Fruit trees – The first of the
stone fruit, such as wilson’s early
plum, will start ripening towards
the end of the month. Ensure
new fruit trees planted this winter
receive careful attention with
regular watering, applications
of fertiliser and mulching with
crushed bark. They may also require
some light pruning to help
achieve the required shape.
Berry fruit – Boysenberries,
blackcurrants, gooseberries and
raspberries will be ripening by
mid-December. They will also be
producing significant new canes.
Some can be tied down while the
surplus can be removed.
Roses – Possibly the most
enjoyable month in the home rose
garden. Bushes are in full bloom
and the dreaded die back and rust
diseases have not yet impacted
plants. It’s important to continue
LUSH: Avoid
mowing your
lawn too low over
summer.
‘dead-heading’ ie the removal
of finished flowers, to ensure
continuous blooming. Apply side
dressings of rose fertiliser.
Herbs – With the increasing
temperatures, herbs will be
thriving in December. More than
one plant of frequently used herbs
may be required in the home
garden e.g. basil, chives and parsley.
Where possible, site the herb
garden near the kitchen for easy
access, even if they are in pots.
Lawns – Inspect lawns
regularly throughout December.
If there are dry conditions, they
may require irrigation. Apply
lawn fertiliser until the end of December
and then stop late summer/early
autumn. Avoid mowing
too low over summer.
Container gardens – With
smaller properties, containers
are an excellent means of creating
interest in the home garden.
Use them to cultivate flowering
annuals, grow salad vegetables,
or a herb garden. Always fill the
containers with fresh container
mix before planting.
Preparing the garden for
summer holidays:
It’s traditional to have the main
summer holidays in January and
this can be problematic in the
home garden, especially in the
vegetable patch.
Sadly, vegetable gardens are
often abandoned at this time even
though these months are successful
for vegetable gardening. Careful
planning can include; harvesting
your vegetables before holiday
time (early planting), heavy
mulching of vegetables with pea
straw or crushed bark, installing
a timer on your irrigation system,
asking a neighbour to water your
vegetables while you are away and
replanting summer vegetables
when you return from holiday.
There are still at least three
months for the successful cultivation
of summer vegetables and
to enjoy the blooms of summer
flowering annuals.
From the team at Intelligro,
we want to thank you for your
continued support this year, and
your patience as the road works
continue around us. We wish you
all a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

Quality and reliability
Generation Homes Christchurch are
known for their community involvement.
They have supported a number of
initiatives, including the renovation of the
St John Rolleston base and contributing
towards a new ambulance for Selwyn. This
year, they helped create a new bike park
at Knights Stream School in Halswell, and
were the sole naming sponsors for the
recent Diwali Festival.
The motto of Generation Homes
Christchurch is to be a company clients
can trust to build a modern, dry, warm
and healthy home, and one which will
stand the test of time.
Joint Venture Partners, Evan and Nadja
Beker are personally involved on a day to
day basis in the running of Generation
Homes Christchurch. They guarantee
an on-budget fixed price build with a
specified move-in date.
Their building process is in fourteen
stages with the client involved and guided
through the build, ensuring a stress-free
experience. You will be impressed by the
team’s commitment to the job. They look
after each and every client, making sure
their requirements and needs are met,
right down to organising site visits.
Generation Homes Christchurch are
recognised builders in the Selwyn area.
They have been involved in a number
of residential housing developments
in Rolleston. At Devon Green, they
constructed desirable affordable homes in
a setting which engendered a true sense of
community.
The company’s latest project in Rolleston
has been in Branthwaite where they have
already built a number of homes. Their
showhome at Branthwaite, has impressed
many viewers due to the attention to detail
and many desirable quality features which
have gone into this home.
At Halswell’s Copper Ridge housing
estate, Generation Homes are the preferred
builders. Already a third of the planned
106 lots covering 8.2 hectares have been
sold and the company’s first clients have
moved into their new homes. Sections at
Copper Ridge vary in size from 400sqm to
700sqm.
Generation Homes Christchurch have
a number of house and land packages
available: priced from $479,000 in
Rolleston and from $530,000 at Copper
Ridge in Halswell.
With Generation Homes Christchurch,
you are assured a quality finish, fixed
price contract and on-time delivery. This
gives you certainty over your life, living
arrangements and financial commitments.
They have a library of over 300 designs
and the capacity to adapt a design or start
from scratch. Their team always want to
help their clients create a home they will
love.

Styling ideas for entertaining
Whether you’re setting the table for
two or 20, you can start to think about
some festive ways to tie everything in.
Like many of us, I adore entertaining
and making sure each guest feels
a certain magic when they enter a
room. Here are my tips that I hope will
help inspire you with your Christmas
Day styling. Wishing you all the best,
and much joy for the 25th.
1. Go big
A large table allows for more food, more
wine and more decor all adding to the vibe
of gifting and giving. Bring that outdoor
table inside, or hire in a couple of trestles
and set them side by side to create an extra
large tabletop. This allow ample room for
platters, water jugs, wines, nibbles, fresh
flowers, fruit and candles all to be set on
the table for your guests’ arrival.
2. Create abundance
It doesn’t have to be restricted to the bowls
of food. Allow the overflow of foliage
and fruit to spill out along the table by
incorporating fresh lemons, pomegranate,
olive branches and fresh herbs in
terracotta pots along the table. Magic.
3. Opt for stylish serving dishes
Bring in some new and different pieces
to present the food. Think slabs of wood,
large chopping boards, slate tiles and wire
baskets lined with linen for breads.
4. Develop a colour scheme
I’m a fan of the more earthy palette with
neutral tones found in linen napkins
and table runners, wooden furniture,
stoneware and then adding in accents
of gold, or cut crystal glassware for that
touch of elegance. If you want to use the
traditional colours, try something different
in a muted soft pink/red and pale sage
green over the bolder red and green.
5. Personalise your table
Adding name tags are a fun way to
welcome each guest to the table. Try
handwritten or stamped tags, painted
pebbles, or even gold pen written names
on wine glasses. Use natural over plastic
or synthetic where possible, it makes for a
more hand-made feel.
6. Add in a summery signature drink
Make a fun arrival cocktail and tie this
into your overall style for the day. It
will also add colour to the room. Try a
rosemary-infused holiday cocktail, wild
hibiscus champagne, Pimms or a rose with
raspberry and mint.
7. Ensure there is good lighting
As many celebrate the day with a
Christmas lunch, lighting often gets
forgotten. However, candles at a table, no
matter the time of day, always add that
warmth and festive glow. For an outdoor
setting, think hurricane lamps, votives and
jars of candles and for inside you can opt
for candlesticks, which take up less table

space and help create height. I’m currently
loving a natural beeswax or black taper
candle set in brass candlesticks, which
look stunning together with greenery on
a wooden table. Also you can never go
wrong with a pack of copper wire seed
fairy lights. Wind them into a garland of
fresh olive or pine branches and trail down
the table centre for a lush and sparkly look.
8. Remember the children
Growing up in our family, and well into
our teens, we were always seated on a
separate table with all the cousins at
Christmas. The table was complete with
loads of Christmas crackers and lots of
loud laughter. If your family gathering is
on the larger size, then a children’s table
is always a good solution. Depending on
their ages, you could choose to bring in
a few more child-friendly elements, like
a brown paper tablecloth, red and green
crayons, a bowl of Christmas crackers and
some silly dress-up props for photos.
Recipe
Create an outdoor
setting with neutral
colours and plenty
of greenery.
9. Add a wreath – or three!
Easy to make, this DIY festive symbol
can even be made by the children. Keep it
green, and make a few to hang along the
wall or window. Try making smaller ones
with rosemary to use as napkin rings. Not
only will they bring a lovely fragrance to
the table, they’ll look super cute.
10. Make a chill-out zone
Let’s not forget that after all that cooking,
eating, laughing and drinking there
is a certain moment in the day when
everything goes quiet. Some find a good
chair to start that new book, while others
like to nod off into siesta land. So why not
create a lovely lounge area on the veranda
or lawn, where picnic blankets, throw
cushions and beanbags invite your guests
into a blissful state of relaxation — and
digestion!

All you need for your outdoor space
Local company The Outdoor Space is
truly the place to go to for anything you
need for your outdoor space and owner
Aaron Bartlett recommends that those
who are building get in early so plans can
be drawn up and landscaping completed
before your move.
“We can do everything except building
the house,” says Aaron.
The list of services they provide is
extensive including lawns to planting,
garden sheds, paving, irrigation, outdoor
kitchens , fires and fire pits, raised vege
gardens, fences, decks, pergolas, stone,
schist, brick and block work. No job is
too big or small.
And designing your dream garden
does not need to be expensive. The team
at The Outdoor Space can design your
dream garden for as little as $400 for
a 1000m2 section, producing a colour
hand drawn design.
“Clients may have ideas of what they’d
like or none at all and we can come up
with some great suggestions,” says Aaron.
Fire pits and fires are always popular
feature in an outdoor space. Fire pits
are a cheaper and a custom-designed
concrete block fire pit, lined with fire
bricks looks great. A timber top can be
added so it can double as an outdoor
coffee table.
If you would like something bigger
they can put in wood and gas outdoor
fires, either a custom build or install the
likes of Trendz or Flare fires, cladding
them in stonework for a unique look.
The team at The Outdoor Space
recently won a gold medal in the Lincoln
Envirotown responsible business awards
to add to our gold and bronze awards for
international Ellerslie flower show.
“Thank all our clients for the year,
wishing a very merry Christmas, safe and
happy New Year and all the best for 2020.
Remember to check us out and like us
on Facebook to keep up to date on what
we are doing,” says Aaron. The business
will be closed from 20 December until 6
January 2020 for their staff to have a welldeserved
break.

The perfect Xmas centerpiece
How to remove ham rind
1
The most perfect sticky glaze
is slathered all over this juicy,
tender, baked Brown Sugar
Mustard Glazed Ham, with
crisp edges and an incredible
flavour
Brown Sugar
Mustard-Glazed Ham
Ingredients
4-5kg bone-in fully cooked ham
½ cup water
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 150 deg
C. and arrange a rack in the
lower third. Remove any plastic
packaging or netting from the
ham. Trim away the rind and
discard. Set the ham aside to rest
at room temperature for 1-2hr.
Line a baking tray or dish with
several sheets of aluminium foil
or baking paper if you prefer (it
will make clean-up a lot easier).
Remove the rind or skin of
the ham, ensuring you leave the
fat on. Using a sharp knife score
a 2-3cm wide diamond pattern
(don’t cut more than 5mm deep)
over the entire ham. Place the
ham in the baking tray; pour ⅓
cup of water into the base of the

pan and cover
the ham with
two pieces of
foil or baking
paper and bake
for 30min.
Meanwhile,
heat the
butter in a
small pot or
saucepan over
medium heat
until golden
browned. Add
in the brown
sugar, honey,
mustard,
cinnamon and
cloves, stirring
to mix together
well until the
brown sugar
has completely
dissolved,
(about 2min).
Reduce heat
to low and
add in the
garlic. Allow
it to become
fragrant,
cooking for a
further minute
or two until the glaze just begins
to simmer, then set it aside and
let cool to lukewarm (the glaze
should be the consistency of
room-temperature honey).

carefully remove the ham from
the oven and increase the oven
temperature to 220 deg C.
Discard the foil or parchment
paper and pour ⅓ of the glaze
all over the ham, brushing in
between the cuts to evenly cover.
Return to the oven and bake
uncovered for 15min.
Remove from the oven, brush
with another third of the glaze
and some of the pan juices, and
repeat again after 15min more
minutes of baking until a dark
golden-brown crust has formed,
(about 30min total). For added
depth of flavour, mix some of
the ham pan juices together with
the glaze in the pot which will
help keep it runny enough for
brushing. If your crust is still
pink after there suggested baking
time, turn on your broiler (or
oven grill), and allow it to broil
for 2-5min, while keeping an eye
on it so it doesn’t burn from the
sugar.
Let the ham rest 10-20min
before slicing.
NOTES
If your glaze has been over
simmered and begins to thicken
between each baste, add some
of the pan juices to it and heat it
up over low heat until it warms
through and is the consistency of
warmed honey.
1. Cut a line through the skin
all around the shank end.
2
2. Insert a sharp knife between
the rind and fat and run it
along to detach the rind.
3
3. Using your fingers, gently
separate the rind from the
fat, insterting your hand
deeper into the ham to keep
detaching it.
4
4. Peel off and discard the rind.

Looking for a Property?
What really counts
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining
properties for sale and zeroing in on
those with potential. They might be
in locations that offer cheaper land,
larger houses, or convenience to work
or school. You may have visited show
homes and open homes becoming
confused, overwhelmed or swept
away with emotional factors like having
everything new, or extra features such
as three car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the
features that you need, considering:
; Family space – Is there room for
the children to play indoors and
for television and entertainment
units? Should this be open plan or
separated?
; Kitchen – What needs to be in your
kitchen? How serious are you about
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or
something that offers a practical
solution to the way you use your
kitchen?
; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may
translate to slightly lower building
costs while extra space can be
useful. When looking at existing
homes, consider whether the size of
each bedroom is sufficient.
; Garaging – A standard double
garage once two cars are parked
there offers little space for the toys.
What toys do you have and could
they live with the lawnmower in a
garden shed, a cheaper option to
three car garaging? If the budget
allows and a larger garage with
workshop is important, make it a
selection priority.
; Size of land – Lifestyle properties
offer space for children, pets,
hobbies, an expansive garden and
perhaps a home-run business but
they require work so are not for
everyone and a compact section
might be more sensible if a tight
budget or busy lifestyle.
; Bathrooms – Second and third
bathrooms are great in homes with
teenagers and a wet shower room is
ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not
used and its absence could mean a
more spacious bathroom.
; Laundry – Would a laundry in the
garage do the job?
; Storage – How much storage do you
need? Weigh up what can truly be
stored in the garage once vehicles
are in, a preference in winter.
Garages vary in size so check the
size to ensure your vehicles will fit.
Look also at where else the house
offers storage capacity such as in
hall cupboards, a large hot water
cylinder cupboard, wardrobes (check
their width and depth), walk-in robe,
attic storage trusses, as well as the
potential for hooks and shelving in
the garage for bikes, tools, garden
equipment and even kayaks.
; Off-street parking – How many
vehicles can be parked on the
driveway? Will this space be
sufficient?
; Garden - Is there sufficient space
for your children to play or for
entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine
what will suit your needs, the point of
the exercise, saving you time looking at
properties or potential house designs
while assisting you to decide whether
to buy a new or existing home with
both options having advantages and
disadvantages.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Securing your home
these holidays
There have been a number of burglaries
and thefts in the district more recently.
This emphasises the need to secure your
property when away as well as when
home.
Assets can be replaceable, treasured
keepsakes conveying irreplaceable
memories, not so. Motor vehicles and
electronics are often the target but it is
surprising what a thief will take.
The thought of someone entering our
home is unsettling, the mess and damage
left behind a real hassle. Even when well
insured, there is a cost: the excess, loss of
a no claim bonus; write-down of an asset’s
value; the inconvenience of no wheels or
other possessions; the wait time before
insurance pay out; and the time involved
in looking for replacement items.
These are good reasons to make our
homes as secure as possible. The adage: ‘if
they want to get in, they will’ is true yet
some thieves are opportunistic, looking
for easy targets.
Simple ways to secure your home
and vehicles are:
• Lock your house and garage when going
out, heading away or at home.
• Keep vehicles locked when in the
driveway or on the street, never leaving
the keys in them and ensuring valuables,
bags or other tempting items are hidden.
• Shut all windows at night and when
going out or away; especially those
accessible from the street.
• Activate any alarm system keeping
the codes confidential. Never share
the master code. Set temporary codes
for guests and when issuing a key to a
neighbour or trusted tradesperson.
• Padlock sheds with all tools inside so
they cannot be used for breaking-in.
• Lock firearms in an out-of-the-way
place then secure the key in a separate
location.
• Organise a house sitter or ask a
neighbour, family member or friend to
keep an eye on your property and clear
the letterbox. Alternatively, put a stop on
your mail with NZ Post.
• If away longer than two weeks, arrange
for a neighbour or contractor to mow
the lawns.
• Secure the spa and swimming pools,
locking covers or draining them.
More serious ways to protect your
home include:
• Fitting sensor lights.
• Installing lockable security doors.
• Installing an alarm system.
• Installing security surveillance cameras
like those where you can download an
APP onto your cell phone so you can
remotely view your home while away.
These are ideal when you are not likely
to have power or Internet access.
• Fit an automated irrigation system on
a timer, programming it to turn on
each day. This will give the impression
someone is home and keep your plants
healthy.
Burglaries can be opportunist due to
lax security. Locking doors and windows
helps. Setting the alarm is common sense
– if the facility is there, why not use it.
Adopting other security measures can
be worth the effort and might keep your
home safe over the holidays.
Fit an automated
irrigation system.
Arrange to have
your lawns mowed.
Keep your home & vehicles locked.

What to ask at
an open home
It’s easy to get carried away when you’re
searching through property listings for the
house of your dreams. But if you’re not careful,
home buying can become a nightmare.
“Buying a property is a complex and
potentially stressful process, not least
because it involves such a scary amount
of money,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith,
chief executive at the Real Estate Agents
Authority (REAA).
“It’s smart to do as much as you can to
reduce the risk of unwelcome surprises or
unexpected costs further down the line.”
In the first instance, Lampen-Smith
recommends drawing up a list of questions
to ask about properties you’re interested in.
“Remember that you can ask the real estate
agent anything you like about the property,”
he says. “They are also required to tell you
everything they know and not withhold
any details.”
If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a handy
list of questions. Open homes can be busy,
so ask the agent if you can talk on the
phone, or send questions via email.
- Have there been any issues with the
property, such as earthquake damage or
water-tightness?
- Are there any offers on the property,
or have any contracts been cancelled by
potential buyers?
- How long has it been on the market? What
is the seller’s preferred settlement date?
- What maintenance, repairs or
improvements have been carried out? Do
these have permits?
- Is there a Land Information Memorandum
(LIM) available or a building report
prepared by an accredited property
surveyor?
- Is the property well-maintained? What
condition are the roof, piles, wiring, and
plumbing in?
- Is the property insulated? If so, to what
degree (eg walls, underfloor, ceiling)?
- Is there any risk of methamphetamine (P)
contamination?
- If there is a body corporate (usually for
apartments), what does that entail?
- Are there any issues with neighbours or
planned developments?
“If you are seriously considering making an
offer, you will need to do your own research
and seek professional advice. It may well
become your home, so you need to know as
much about it as possible to save unhappy
surprises later,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Knowing the right questions to ask is a
good starting point.”
