on Sunday.

THE DRIVER and occupants
of this burnt out car may have
had a miraculous escape when
it crashed in Lincoln on Sunday
morning.
The vehicle ended upside
down in a paddock at the intersection
of Birchs and Tancreds
Rd and then caught fire.
The vehicle was completely
destroyed.
Lincoln volunteer firefighters
were called to the scene at
5.30am.
Chief fire officer Jeremy
Greenwood said it appeared the
vehicle left the road and rolled
into the paddock.
“It was well involved in fire
when we arrived but there were
no occupants. They had left the
scene before we got there,” he
said.
“The fire had the potential to
spread with the dry grass so it
was lucky the conditions were
quite calm at the time and we
were able to contain it.”
Firefighters returned mid
afternoon when smoke began
to billow in dry scrub near
the vehicle.

THERE ARE lucky people; and there are
lucky people.
Every Wednesday and Saturday night
when the Lotto numbers roll out, there are
very lucky people.
About 5.30am on Sunday there was one –
or maybe more – lucky individuals in a car which crashed into a
paddock on the outskirts of Lincoln (see page 1).
The car ended up on its roof and caught fire. How it got there
is hard to work out. It could have come from Tancreds or Birchs
Rds. Vehicles tend to end up in all sorts of odd places and angles
when they crash.
When firefighters got there, the driver and anyone else who had
been in the car had scarpered.
Lucky? You bet.

Darfield wastewater
scheme potentially 10 years away
• By Devon Bolger
DARFIELD RESIDENTS and
businesses could be waiting up
to 10 more years for a wastewater
scheme.
The township is one of the
largest unsewered communities
in New Zealand.
A business
case for a potential
sewerage

presented at a
district council
meeting last
Wednesday.

vestigated a potential wastewater
scheme for the Kirwee township.
The business case recommended
there is sufficient evidence
to support planning toward a
potential wastewater scheme for
central Darfield now.
District councillors voted to
endorse the recommendation
and to continue looking into
solutions to benefit the whole
Darfield community and Kirwee.
A statement will be included
in the 2020/21 Annual Plan consultation
document to further
engage the Darfield community’s

wastewater scheme for Darfield and Kirwee but it could still be

desire for the system.
Formal consultation on any
proposal would take place as part
of the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan
process.
At the meeting councillor Debra
Hasson questioned the overall
time frame for the project.
‘What you’re talking about is
further consultation and then
further consultation under the
Long Term Plan. I take that as;
this project being 10 years away
is still a possibility,” she said.
District council asset manager
water services Murray England
responded: “Yes 10 years is a
possibility but also two years or
three years as well. The recommendations
I think are saying
stop wasting time and start
pushing forward.”
Darfield Motel owner Wally
Murdoch said the scheme going

ahead is good news.
“I think it has stunted the
development of Darfield a bit so
we definitely support it.”
The possibility of the new system
taking up to 10 years is not
ideal, Mr Murdoch said.
“The sooner the better for
us really I mean I think it will
continue to stunt the town until
it goes ahead.”
Dwellings in Darfield and
Kirwee currently rely on septic
tanks and other onsite treatment
systems.
The business case presented to
district councillors said: “There
is little evidence to support the
identified opportunity for a full
township wastewater management
scheme for Darfield and
Kirwee, or for Darfield alone.
“There was little support from
the wider stakeholder group for
a scheme to be developed unless
required to protect public health
and that the capital contribution
from ratepayers did not create a
burden,” it said.

Primary school may
host technology centre
• By Devon Bolger
A TECHNOLOGY centre for year
7 and 8 pupils in Rolleston could
be sited at the new primary school
planned to open in two years.
Education
Minister Chris
Hipkins told
Selwyn Times
a technology
centre would be
considered by
the new school’s
Chris Hipkins establishment
board.
“The establishment board will
PROGRESS: The Ministry of Education is working on determining
a location in Rolleston for a technology facility for year 7 and
8 pupils. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
engage with the local community
as it develops the foundations for
the new school in Rolleston east
including considering the name
it will have and building the vision
and school culture,” he said.
“It will also consider whether
the school will host a technology
centre.”
The need for a technology
facility in Rolleston was initially
set out in the Ministry of Education’s
Canterbury National
Education Growth Plan 2030.
Said Mr Hipkins: “Schools for
year 7 and 8 pupils all do technology
classes. Those who went
to intermediate will remember the
practical lessons fondly but primary
schools often have to share
facilities with other schools.
“In areas where the population
is growing rapidly, we have to
make sure we are catering for
that need and that’s what we are
doing for Rolleston.”
It is possible the technology
centre could be sited elsewhere.
“Where the facility does go is
one of the things the ministry
will consult on once the establishment
board is set up for the
new school then that process will
get underway and will advance
further.
“You have to make sure you
locate it in a place that hopefully
minimises the amount of travel
time for as many students as possible
and its then just a matter of
making sure you have the space
and the funding to build the
facility that is needed,” he said.
The roll for the new school has
expanded to 450, with the capacity
to extend the roll to up to 750
pupils in the future.
The school will be the third
new primary school for the area
joining West Rolleston School
which opened in 2016 and
Lemonwood Grove School which
opened in 2017.
Meanwhile, planning continues
to cater for the big population
growth.
Work is ongoing to identify a
site for a second high school in
Rolleston. Planning is also underway
so Rolleston College can
add another 700 students.
Lemonwood Grove School in
Rolleston will also increase from
400 to 750 pupils.

Break-ins
continue
• From page 1
It follows on from other thefts
from cars in Lincoln last week,
again in Flemington and nearby
Rosemerryn, and recently in
Faringdon, Rolleston.
Senior Sergeant Harker said
residents need to be aware and
vigilant to prevent opportunist
thieves and burglars.
The key advice is to always
lock your vehicle, remove valuables,
park in well-lit areas when
possible and take documents
containing personal information
with you.
You should not leave keys to your
house or garage door remotes in
your vehicle either, he said.
Implementing a ‘security check’
at 9pm each night to ensure
everything is locked and secure
is a good way to protect your
valuables, Senior Sergeant Harker
said.
Police are also warning business
owners to protect their property
after a number of burglaries in the
district.
On Friday morning, Challenge
Leeston, was broken into.
Challenge Darfield was also
broken into two weeks ago.
Money and cigarettes were
targeted.

Cam Kenyon
Fire chief encourages others
Rolleston chief fire
officer Cam Kenyon has
been volunteering at
the station since he was
16-years-old. He speaks
with Devon Bolger about
his 31 years of firefighting
and passion for helping
people
Are there any callouts that
have stuck with you?
The one that really stands out
is this time we got called to a
cardiac arrest, it was only about
a year ago. It ended up being a
26-week-old gestational baby,
the mother had given birth far
too early. The baby could have
fit in my hand but ended up
surviving and being completely
healthy.
I went to the Port Hills fires,
I’ve done the Dunsandel fires
but they are just fires and you do
what you do, but that baby that
survived, that stood out.
We actually met the parents
a few months later. It’s those
moments when you’re helping
people that mean more.
Those kinds of call-outs where
you make a real difference in
people’s lives.
DEDICATED: Rolleston chief fire officer Cam Kenyon has been volunteer firefighting for 31 years
and has no plans to stop anytime soon.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
How did you get involved in
firefighting?
I learned to be a volunteer at
Rolleston where I was living.
You had to be 16 so the day
I turned 16 I went down and I
spoke to the chief at the time and
he said to come back in a couple
of weeks, so I did. He was trying
to make sure I was keen and that
just kicked it off. I was in.
I was still at Lincoln High
School at the time. By year 12 I was
one of the founding members to
start the Students Against Drink
Driving.
I remember my first fatal callout
was for a drunk driver, so I
have always been against it.
I ended up going into the army
in 1991 as a firefighter and did 13
years there. I got to the rank of
sergeant. During that time I was
still coming back to Rolleston as
well so I was volunteering at the
same time I was in the army.
I left the army and got a job
at the airport fire service. I had
to start at the bottom again and
went through the ranks there.
I’m currently a shift manager at
the airport.
How did you become the chief
fire officer at Rolleston?
Basically, I joined and worked
my way up through the ranks.
Then, when Nigel Lilley stood
down as chief they accepted
applications and I was the lucky
one who got it. I was a station
officer at the time.
Do you enjoy being the chief?
I actually love it. It’s a challenge
because it is a lot busier than just
putting out fires and things like
that. There’s a lot of admin to do
as well, it’s all about driving the
brigade and taking it forward.
What keeps you going with
the brigade?
I love it. There’s something
about just going out and helping
the people and also training or
mentoring, especially when we
go to schools and kindergartens.

to volunteer
The kids are our future for the
brigade you know, I’m not going
to be around forever and we need
people to come through and take
over and have the same passions.
I can’t say I’ve ever had a moment
when I’ve said I don’t want
to do it anymore or I’ve had
enough.
Every brigade in the district
could do with more volunteers,
not just Rolleston, so if anyone is
interested, go down to your local
station and put your hand up.
Do you have any plans to stop
volunteer firefighting?
Ever since I was a kid I wanted
to be a fireman. I think the day I
lose the passion I’ll give it up and
retire but I can’t see that happening
any time soon.
Can you tell me about your
other volunteer work?
I was a volunteer ambulance
officer for two years in the mid-
2000s, I really enjoyed that.
I volunteered at the Waitaha
Learning Centre, now Waitaha
School, when it was in Templeton
helping children with special
needs. I just love to volunteer.
If anyone feels like volunteering
and helping out, whether it be
the fire brigade or any organisation,
they should do it. It’s about
giving back to the people and to
the community.
I would highly recommend
it because it comes with such
a sense of achievement, it’s extremely
rewarding.
How long have you lived in
Selwyn?
My family and I moved to
Rolleston in 1986. I spent about
three years here then went away
for three years and then came
back. I’ve probably spent about
aclandpark.co.nz

Kenyon with

pupils helping them
complete their firewise
programme.
seven years out here all together.
What do you like about living
in Rolleston?
The fire brigade. Just kidding,
I would have to say the people.
When I first started there
were six or seven streets and the
growth has been unbelievable
but you still feel like you are
a part of this small town.
My wife hates it because every
time we go shopping I always run
into someone I know and will
want to have a chat with.
What are your hobbies and
interests outside of firefighting?
I enjoy the gym, I do that all
the time and we’ve just built
a house so we have spent a lot
of time doing the gardens and
things like that.
I’m also a part of the Red Knight
Motorcycle Club. It’s for current
and ex firefighters and is a lot of
fun, I’d definitely recommend it
and if any firefighters want to get
involved just get in touch.
My wife’s a shift worker at the
airport in the operations department
and we like to spend time
together.
I’ve also got a brand new grandaughter
that is taking up a lot of
my time as well.
Can you tell me about your
family?
I have a wife Raewyn, she is my
biggest supporter. When I went
for the chief job she was behind
me 100 per cent, she has been
there for me through everything.
Between us, we have five
children. I have got three, a
daughter and two sons who are
all grown up and working and
then Raewyn’s got two boys,
so I have two stepsons. They
are all grown up and working
as well and of course, my one
granddaughter, she is the best.

Fire
meeting a
success
• By Devon Bolger
A SECOND meeting to educate
lifestyle block owners on
protecting their property from
fire was a success.
About 80 people attended the
meeting held by Fire and Emergency
New Zealand, police and
the district council civil defence
team in Lincoln on Sunday.
Said FENZ fire risk management
officer Kerri Pring: “It was
great. People are really positive
and they’re hungry for the information
we are giving them.
“You can see they really want
to make a difference for their
properties and protect themselves
and their neighbours.”
Part of the key advice was to
keep grass cut and a clear path
for emergency services to help in
case something does go wrong,
she said.
No further meetings are
planned for this summer but they
may be held again next year.

Mayor
asks for
restart of
process
• By Devon Bolger
MAYOR SAM Broughton is
putting his weight behind the
fight for wider consultation on
a proposed hazardous waste
treatment facility near Prebbleton.
Mr Broughton sent a letter to
Environment Canterbury chief
executive Bill Bayfield requesting
the consultation process be
restarted.
“We are deeply concerned
with the current process under
way with Waste Management in
the Prebbleton area.
“There is huge community
concern about activities in the
neighbouring industrial zone.
This is exacerbated when things
are seen to be secretive or carried
out in a way that the community
feels minimised,” the
letter said.
“I am writing to formally
request the process restart with
serious consideration given to
full notification. This would
help address the concerns and
alleviate the current confusion
around identification and a
growing list of affected parties.”
Opposition to toxic waste plan mounts
Community
board asked
to intervene
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
“WE REALLY do not want this
to be the Greta effect.”
Those are the words from
the Prebbleton Community
Association Committee chairman
Peter Hunter – one of the
hundreds of residents fighting
against a toxic waste treatment
plant from opening in their
backyard.
Mr Hunter has called on the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board to “advocate,
intercede and petition” to stop
Waste Management from operating
a treatment and stabilisation
facility in South Hornby.
Mr Hunter made a presentation
to board at its meeting
on Tuesday following a recent
meeting in Prebbleton which
drew in a crowd of more than
500 people over the plans for
305 Marshs Rd.
He told the board he did
not want a situation similar to
17-year-old Swedish environment
activist Greta Thunberg.
Mr Hunter said he did not
want someone standing up in
front of the authorities saying
“you lot stuffed it up for us and
we have to live with it and try to
fix it.”
Last year, Miss Thunberg
gained international recognition
for her campaigning on climate
change.
She sailed a yacht to New York
from Plymouth, England, where
she attended the 2019 UN Climate
Action Summit and told
the heads of state:
“We are in the beginning of
a mass extinction, and all you
can talk about is money and
fairy tales of eternal economic
growth. How dare you,” she
said.
But Mr Hunter said: “We don’t
want that, we can’t afford it. We
need help.”
He is calling on the board to
help “stop” and “review” what
Waste Management is trying to
do.
“All we want to do is protect
the environment, protect our
people, protect our children,
protect our resources and our
grandchildren down the track.”
Residents have been considering
their legal options with the
potential to take the issue to the
High Court for a judicial review
of Environment Canterbury’s
decision to only consult people
within 500m of the facility.
But Mr Hunter said this
means the community will need

to find thousands of dollars.
Board chairman Mike Mora
thanked Mr Hunter for his
presentation.
“All we can do is lobby and
work closely with you and I
would like to suggest a couple
of members of this community
board actually be formal liaisons
with the Prebbleton group on
this matter because it is going
to affect people as much in our
ward as it is yours,’’ he said.
Hornby residents have raised
concerns over how they will be
impacted by the new hazardous
plant, particularly if the wind
blows southerly.
Board member Helen
Broughton said it could grant
funding to support the resident’s
cause.
Mr Mora said he and board
member Mark Peters will meet
with the Prebbleton association
to discuss the next steps. City
councillor Jimmy Chen will also
be involved.

Quarry decision time extended
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
QUARRY opponents nervously
anticipating a decision on
whether a controversial quarry
near Weedons has been forced
to wait a bit longer.
The hearing for Fulton
Hogan’s proposal to open a
quarry between Dawsons, Jones,
Maddisons and Curraghs Rds
will not be made this month.
The hearing
has not
closed due
to a request
from the
independent
hearings
panel chaired
Roger
Cudmore
by Rob van
Voorthuysen
for further
information
from Fulton Hogan over the
quarry.
The hearing reconvened on
February 5 so commissioners
could decide if issues addressed
in the company’s right of
reply was sufficient or if the
application would be declined.
The company’s right of reply
to concerns raised throughout
a three-week hearing late last
year was made public earlier this
month.
Leading up to the reconvening
of the hearing, an Environment
PENDING: Further information is required of Fulton Hogan
before the hearings panel can make a final decision on
whether its controversial quarry can go ahead in Templeton.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Canterbury spokeswoman said
it was possible if the commissioners
were satisfied with the
response the hearing could close
that day.
While it was not normal
practice, the commissioners
allowed written questions from
submitters at the reconvened
hearing to be put to Fulton
Hogan – if the commissioners
agreed they desired the answers
themselves.
The questions written by
submitters passed onto Fulton
Hogan by the commissioners
were:
• What route will trucks
accessing or departing the
proposed quarry take if the
Dawsons Rd railway crossing
is unavailable due to planned
maintenance or unforeseen
events?
• How much land does Fulton
Hogan own in the city council
quarry zone that has been consented
for quarrying but has not
yet been quarried?
• How much other land does
Fulton Hogan own outside of
the city council quarry zone
(a part from the Roydon site)
that has been consented for
quarrying but has not yet been
quarried?
At the reconvened hearing,
Golder Associates (NZ) principal
environmental consultant
Roger Cudmore also presented
new evidence addressing potential
offset from the quarry of air
pollutant PM10.
New written replies to Mr
Cudmore’s evidence including
experts on behalf of the quarry
is now required by the panel.
The panel also had further
questions for Golder Associates
(NZ) associate and senior
environmental scientist Audrey
Wagenarr who was unable to
attend the hearing.
Fulton Hogan and other organisations
required to respond
to the new evidence presented
at the hearing will have until
Friday, February 28.
Said Templeton Residents’ Association
secretary Jolene Eagar:
“It is pretty much out of our
control at this stage, but in the
end, she would rather the commissioners
make an informed
decision than feel rushed.’’
If the panel is satisfied with
the response they will close the
hearing and a decision will be
released 15 working days later.

Area response manager
Senior Sergeant Dean
Harker talks about crime
trends in the district and
shares advice on staying
vigilant
HELLO AND welcome to the
first Selwyn police column.
This will be a monthly
column where we discuss relevant
topics and crime trends
within the district.
Over the last few weeks, we
have had an increase in rural
burglaries throughout the district.
Most offending is taking
place during daylight hours.
Crime prevention in rural
areas is most effective when
it involves a partnership
between rural people, police,
local authorities and local
organisations. If you are going
to be away from your property
for a length of time advise
your neighbours and also your
local police who can pass this
on to community patrols if
applicable.
Recently a number of
offenders who have been apprehended
are travelling from
outside of the district to commit
these crimes. They have
been targeting properties that
are insecure or have property

SECURE:

gates and
sheds will

that can be easily stolen.
Important security measures
include:
• While away from your
property or at night you
should lock all rural buildings,
houses and sheds etc.
• You should have a detailed
inventory of all personal
valuables and household and
business equipment, including
model and serial numbers,
inscriptions, and other identifying
features.
• Reduce risk by taking
notice of who is out and
about and talking to them
(particularly if they aren’t
locals), locking your house,
removing keys, closing gates
(particularly to your driveway/
house), and keeping an eye on
each other’s property.
Offenders will use a range of
techniques but most offending
is opportunistic.
Report all instances of crime
– even when a police response
is not necessary.
Police need to know the
pattern of crime in an area.
You can help police by reporting
all instances of suspicious
behaviour or crime. It helps
police to know who is in the
community or if there is a
pattern of crime developing
in an area that needs further
investigation. It also helps
us to decide if the rest of the
community should be alerted
too.
By reporting these crimes
it also gives the police the opportunity
to fingerprint and
also look for any other forensic
evidence. This enables us to
hold the offenders to account.
Reporting crime can be
done in a number of ways.
• Phone 111 when you need
immediate help with a lifethreatening
or time – critical
emergency
• By phoning 105 – when no
one is injured or in danger,
there is no serious risk to people
or property, the crime isn’t
still happening.
• By reporting online at 105.

• Or by calling into your
nearest local police station.

School going solar
Former Weedons School
pupil Georgia Skene writes
about the school’s solar
panel project
ECO-FRIENDLY: Weedons School pupils Ravie Battersby and
Liam Casey receiving a donation for solar panels from Storage
King Rolleston owners Ayyam and Chris O’Brien.
WEEDONS SCHOOL is set to
get solar panels after donations
from local businesses.
Over the years the school has
had a rather successful environmental
programme.
This includes litter-free
lunches, pet chickens, native tree
planting and even an Enviro
Club, which encourages young
pupils to take a stand to the
health of the environment.
Solar panels are an amazing
alternative when using extensive
amounts of power, this will be
Weedons School’s next big step.
Being a small district school
with a population of 160 students
hasn’t made this significant
task any easier.
Year 7 and 8 students recently
wrote letters to local Izone companies,
with the explanation and
a sponsor proposal of their goal
for 2020.
Out of several correspondences,
a number replied to the
school.
The local Storage King and
Advanced Landscaping have
kindly donated funds to go towards
purchasing the panels.
In addition, the school is also
arranging to further educate
pupils about how solar energy
operates.
This will hopefully motivate
families within the school to
install solar panels in their
homes.
If this is achievable, the more
solar energy used, the fewer
greenhouse gases are developed
into our atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases incorporate
a mixture between water vapour,
carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide and ozone.
A greenhouse gas absorbs
radiant energy, causing heat to
be retained in the lower atmosphere,
further resulting in global
warming.
Borrow toys online
at Rolleston library
THE ROLLESTON Toy Library
is up and running after two
years of planning.
Its inaugural toy collection day
was held at the Rolleston Community
Centre.
It is the only toy library in
the country to operate entirely
online.
Getting it off the ground has
required an enormous amount
of effort by the small group of
dedicated volunteers, publicity
and promotions officer Michelle
Sim said.
“From searching for premises,
applying for grants and organising
fundraisers, to purchasing
new toys, cataloguing, packaging
and labelling them. It’s been a
true labour of love for all of us.
“To be fully operational and
see the dream finally become a
reality is a massive achievement,
which we’re all incredibly proud
of. We can’t wait to see Rolleston
families enjoying the use of these
fabulous toys,” she said.
The web-based system allows
members to browse and book
toys online, then collect them
from the central pick-up and
drop-off point at the Rolleston
Community Centre, between
3-4pm on Sundays.

Jamming along on the
guitar with Grandad
VITTORIA loves music,
singing and dancing.
It’s very cool and I
love catching her singing
along to some song
she’s made up when she
doesn’t know I’m looking.
And although I might
not love it immediately,
I quite enjoy it when she
forces her singing upon
me. Like at 6am.
Over the last week
there’s been a couple of
days where I’ve been
woken up by her climbing
onto my head, leaning into
my ear and belting out a
(upon reflection) lovely
rendition of the birthday
song.
She had first surprised
me with her ability to sing
the song, in its entirety,
last week at her Nan’s
house while I did some
gardening. She was calmly
sitting, eating some berries
while I worked and
just started singing along.
I guess it makes sense,
birthday season is still
alive and kicking so she’s
heard that song a heap.
She’s also rediscovered
an old favourite in Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star with
even more vigour that she
can sing the words as well
as do the actions.
It’s not the only one in
her repertoire though,
she’s also liable to jump
straight into a round of
BACKYARD CRITTERS
THESE summer months
are when mosquitoes
make their presence
known.
We are fortunate in
New Zealand to only have
15 species compared to
the 200 species known in
Australia.
One species thought to
arrive in New Zealand in
the 1830s is the southern
house or brown mosquito
Culex quinquefaciatus.
It was likely to be
brought here by American
whaling ships or via
Australian populations in
open water tanks on boats
to the Auckland area.
THe species is now
distributed in tropical
and sub-tropical regions
around the world. In New
Zealand it is mainly found
in the North Island and
Baby Shark at the drop of
a hat, or any mention of
the word shark. I can actually
feel other parents with
similar aged kids groaning
at that.
Considering all that,
it wasn’t a big surprise
that she got so excited by
the idea of adding in the
sound of her Grandad’s
guitars to her songs on
Waitangi Day.
We’d popped round for
dinner and while we were
there she grabbed the two
he has in his lounge and
dragged them over to the
couch.
She then handed one to
her Grandad and kept one
VITTORIA
& Matt
STRUMMING: Vittoria and Grandad making sweet
music on the guitars.
for herself to add twanging
guitar strings to her
birthday song, encouraging
her Grandad to play
along with her.
It was great seeing them
have a wee jam session together
and Vittoria clearly
enjoyed it.
I might not remember
anything about the lessons
I had on those guitars, but
it seems Vittoria might
enjoy learning to use them
properly in future.

Wilder’s Aussie rules
code-hopping success
SPORT
• By Jacob Page
LINCOLN SENIOR rugby player
Kris Wilder has had a whirlwind
code-hop to Australian Rules.
After being encouraged by a
friend to try the sport last year
to improve his rugby fitness, the
27-year-old played five games
for the University Cougars in
Christchurch and was then
selected in the New Zealand AFL
draft in November.
He has played two games for
the Western Crows in the national
competition in Auckland, playing
full-forward and kicking six goals.
The four team competition
sees Wilder travel to North Harbour
Stadium each weekend for
the 10-week competition.
“I played five games for the
Canterbury University Cougars
and obviously did enough to be
on the radar for the draft.
“It cost $600 to enter it but if
you get drafted that covers your
10 weeks of flights to Auckland
and your meals, kit, warm-ups
and ice baths etc.

“It’s quite professional in that
sense, it’s like the Mitre 10 Cup
in rugby, that’s the best way I can
describe it.”
In 2018 the average Australian
AFL player earned A$369,000
(NZ$385,000) but Wilder said
going professional was a longshot,
not only for him but most
of the New Zealand players.

end of the season because there
will be an Aussie team that will
tour here and I’d like to test myself
against them,” he said.
“The difference in standard
here compared to Australia is
huge – Aussie kids smash us and
I don’t think it will be about the
money for me at this point.”
He said he planned to play senior
rugby this season and bring
up 100 games for the Lincoln
premier team.
“This has taken me a lot
further than I thought it would
considering I just wanted to do it
to be a fitter, better rugby player.
“It is a fast game with a
lot of running and a heap of
athleticism and I’m keen to just
see where I end up with it.”

Top three prevail in Country tennis
• By Jacob Page
JUST ONE spot remains open in
the semi finals with two rounds
to go in the Canterbury Country
tennis competition.
Fernside is the only team
eliminated from top four contention
with Tai Tapu still an
outside chance to take fourth
from Prebbleton-Lincoln if they
win their remaining fixtures and
results go their way.
The top three teams, West
Melton, Kirwee-Springston and
Rolleston-Killinchy are secure
after all recording wins during
round eight on Saturday.
Competition leaders West Melton
beat Tai Tapu nine matches
to seven.
Kirwee-Springston thrashed
Prebbleton-Lincoln 15-1 and
Rolleston-Killinchy beat Fernside
almost as emphatically 14
matches to two.
It was the West Melton men’s
quartet of Luke Tanner, Max
Aldridge, Blake Cullen and
Campbell Nauman who laid the
platform for their win over Tai
Tapu.
All four went undefeated in
their singles matches. The Tai
Tapu women of Pieta Aitken,
Olivia Wrathall, Jo Christie
and Helen Mills replied by winning
three of their four singles
matches to get their team back in
the contest.
In the end it was West Melton’s
Juliette Ma’s 9-8 win over Pieta
Aitken that provided the crucial
victory.
Tai Tapu captain Cam Mills
said he was pleased to get as close
as his team did to the competition
front-runners, but admitted
it would make it hard for them to
sneak into the top four with just
two rounds remaining.
Kirwee-Springston cemented
second with a big win over
Prebbleton-Lincoln at Kirwee.
The visitors’ only win came from
Craig Whitehead beating Dave
Ashton in the men’s singles.
Rolleston-Killinchy won seven
out of eight singles matches
against Fernside to strengthen

Skate jams
get rolling
The first Summer Skate Jam of the year kicked off at Glentunnel School last week with more than
60 people enjoying skateboarding, scootering and other wheeled fun.
Cheapskates Skate Skool instructors Scott, George and Josh were on hand to teach the children
the basics and bring some fun, as well as providing gear for those who didn’t have any.
Along with helping riders learn some new skills, the Skate Skool crew ran a competition for people
to show off the tricks they know, with Isaac Pokiahau-Rogers, 11, from Coalgate taking out the
competition for skaters aged 8 and up.
The Glentunnel event was the first of eight skate jams this year, with the next one being held at
Tai Tapu Primary School Wednesday 19 February, 3.30–5.30pm, followed by the Darfield Summer
Skate Jam on Wednesday 26 February 3.30–5.30pm at the Darfield Skate Park.
A place to finally call home
Continuing our series celebrating the Faces of Selwyn. Visit selwyn.govt.nz/facesofselwyn for the full story.
In 2000, two strangers from Iceland and China got chatting at Melbourne airport and then found
themselves sitting next to each other on a flight to Auckland.
It was the start of Sam and Lillian Ragnarsson’s 19 year journey to calling New Zealand home.
Sam left Iceland aged 23, and until he moved to Prebbleton six years ago, he had never stayed in one
place for more than a year. Lillian had lived in Japan and the United States of America.
Following that first airport meeting, they reconnected online and married in 2008. After a year each in
Japan, the USA and China, the two project managers sat down with a spreadsheet to decide where to
settle down. They listed everything they wanted from a country and New Zealand came out on top.
“We always laugh that we met on the way to New Zealand and then we ended up in New Zealand, so
many years later,” Sam says.
They chose Christchurch to help out with the post-earthquake rebuild and settled in Prebbleton.
They have kept links to their birth lands and Sam says there’s now even an Icelandic flag flying at their
daughter’s school. But both were very happy to gain New Zealand citizenship last year.
“For someone living in seven countries, five continents and
who’s moved this often, to find a place and be accepted
was really important,” Sam says.
For Lillian, it was a milestone giving up her Chinese
passport and visa, but made her feel part of her new home.
“I am ready to fight for New Zealand, that’s how I feel.”
The pair considered leaving Prebbleton and buying a
lifestyle block, but their girls Nicole and Caitlin said, “We
love this house, we love this place, why should we leave?”
“And it made us think, they’re right, why would we leave?”
Bin tagging project nearly complete
The project to stocktake and tag the district’s 51,000 bins is well on its way to being completed.
More than 70% of rubbish, recycling and organics bins have now been fitted with a Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) tag through the project which began in September.
The RFID tags will allow the Council to easily and remotely maintain accurate records of the numbers and
types of bins at each property, ensuring fair charging for all and allowing for a more efficient service.
The scanning equipment is in the process of being fitted to collection trucks. The tag, about the size of
a thumb tip, will be automatically scanned each time the bin is collected. A final sweep of any bins that
have not been tagged will take place before the contractor will cease collection of any untagged bins.
For more information please visit selwyn.govt.nz/binstocktake.
Community Fund helps
star dancers
A brand new dance workshop for children and young adults living
with disabilities has started in Lincoln, running during school terms.
The workshop is run by The StarJam Charitable Trust to give young
New Zealanders with disabilities a chance to feel like a star and
develop life skills and friendships through music and dance.
It is supported by the Selwyn Community Fund. Established in
2018, the Council fund supports groups and organisations that
contribute to community wellbeing. The fund is available for Selwyn
– based not-for-profit community groups that are looking to run a
project, event, or initiative in the Selwyn district.
The Council supported StarJam by providing the Lincoln Event
Centre for the workshop “Southern Groovers,” run by one tutor
and three volunteers.
The free workshop is already booked out with 12 young people
or ‘Jammers’ already signed up. It is the second StarJam
workshop alongside one run at the Rolleston Community Centre
on Tuesday evenings.
StarJam are extremely grateful for the funding which will open
opportunities for more workshops in the area, trust grants writer
Fiona Rouse says.
“This funding will ensure the safe and successful delivery of
StarJam’s workshops, performances and community social events
benefiting young people with disabilities who attend the Lincoln
weekly workshops.”
StarJam host lots of other free workshops weekly up and down the
country, teaching youth aged 6 to 25 with disabilities how to dance,
play drums, guitar and sing.
One of the previous workshop’s participants, Katrina, said StarJam
makes her feel cool and like she’s a superstar.
These workshops enable 540 youth to participate every year,
regardless of their disability.
Applications for round two of funding from the Community
Fund this year close on Thursday 30 April. Apply now at
selwyn.govt.nz/selwyncommunityfund.
Reconnect project under way at
Pines Resource Recovery Park
Work has begun on the first round of improvements at the Pines
Resource Recovery Park.
The developments include an enhanced recycling and reusables
drop-off area with a canopy, parking and operational area, as well
as all underground services for the planned future stages. The $1.85
million works are being carried out by CB Civil and Drainage and the
new area is expected to be open by June this year.
Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says the developments
are catering for future growth as well as enabling improved recovery
of materials currently entering the waste stream. “These upgrades will
improve the experience of customers at the Recovery Park as well
as increasing diversion of materials from landfill. Having the ability
to drop off items that can be reused by others is something that the
district has needed for some time, so we are pleased to see this
project starting to take shape.”
The current works are the first stage in a wider project named
Reconnect that will take place from 2021 to 2024. Reconnect is an
innovative and ambitious project aimed at getting people thinking
differently about waste, recovering materials from the waste stream
and showcasing alternative options to landfill. This includes a reuse
shop and salvage yard, as well as an environmental education centre
(with a focus on waste) intended to be an interesting, interactive and
fun space for people of all ages to visit. Other developments include
a multipurpose waste hub, a community garden, and microenterprise
units focusing on making products from waste materials such as
wood, metal and fabrics.

New Council customer service centre opens
A blessing and a ribbon cutting have marked the official opening of the new customer services centre at
the Council headquarters in Rolleston.
Te Taumutu Rūnanga led a blessing of the new area on Wednesday morning, before Mayor Sam
Broughton and project manager Sandrine Carrara officially cut the ribbon ahead of the first Council
meeting of the year.
The new space, where visitors to the Council building are
welcomed, is part of a series of changes to the Council’s
customer service to provide a one-stop location for people
to contact the Council. As well as providing face to face
help for customers on all types of enquiries, the new centre
also handles enquiries through the 0800 SELWYN (735 996)
Council contact number, and email and web contacts.
The changes will allow the Council to build on the high
standards it sets for supporting residents, Group Manager
Communication and Customers Stephen Hill says.
“It’s great to have reached this milestone in our ongoing goal
of making it easy for people to do business with us,” he says.
“We now have a great space for customers to come to, and
a dedicated team supported by excellent systems to help our
residents access the services and information they want.”
On the roads this week
Speed restrictions are in place on Springs Road between Birchs Road and Trents Road due
to maintenance work on the water system. Tennyson Street between Markham Way and
Moore Street is one-way, open to southbound traffic only. Lowes Road is one way both sides
of the Tennyson Street intersection, open to traffic travelling away from the intersection, due
to the intersection upgrade. Traffic management will also be in place on Tennyson Street from Bronte Way

Canty Country earn
cup challenge
• By Jacob Page
CANTERBURY Country have
earned a Hawke Cup Challenge
against Hamilton next
weekend after beating
Marlborough by five
wickets in their zone
final in Blenheim.
Sefton pace bowler
Jed Roberts took five
for 63 from 14.5 overs
to help skittle the hosts
for 186 after Canterbury
Country won an
important toss.
The victory reversed
the round-robin result between
the two teams from a fortnight
ago.
Canterbury Country last challenged
for the Hawke Cup two
seasons ago when they came up
short against Counties.
Canterbury Country last held
the Hawke Cup in the 2014/2015
season.
An unbeaten 70 from wicket
keeper Will Hamilton and 64
from veteran Shanan Stewart
helped Canterbury Country gain
a 131-run lead on the first innings
as they made 317 all out and
recovered somewhat after being
110 for five.
Marlborough entered the final
day at 113/2 but they lost their
last eight wickets for 109 runs
Jed Roberts
which means the visitors needed
91 for victory.
While wickets fell steadily in
the chase, Rupert Young’s 46
helped Canterbury
Country earn the win.
Canterbury Country
coach Michael Sharpe
praised Roberts for his
swing bowling in the
first innings and his
two crucial wickets in
the second.
“Jed swung the ball
for the entire first innings
and then got the
first wicket for us on
day three in the second innings
which gave us a lot of momentum,”
he said.
Sharpe said his batsmen were
able to build partnerships when
they needed them most which
was an improvement on the
previous encounter between the
two teams.
He said he would discuss with
Canterbury Cricket the possibility
of them releasing domestic
players like Will Williams, Fraser
Sheat, Henry Shipley and Jack
Boyle, all of whom will be in contention
to play four-day cricket
for the province.
Rhys Mariu who has just
returned from the under-19
World Cup is another possible
selection recall.
Lincoln still in T20 hunt
SPORT
• By Jacob Page
LINCOLN ARE the only Selwyn
cricket team in with a chance of
making the Canterbury Country
twenty20 final on March 6 with
one round to go on Saturday.
Five teams have a chance of
making the decider at Rangiora’s
Mainpower Oval.
Oxford lead the competition
on 20 points, four points ahead
of Sefton, with Lincoln and Cheviot
a further two points back.
Southbrook will need to win
their final game and hope results
go their way to make the top two
for the straight final.
Both matches at Southbrook
Domain were abandoned after
wet weather on Thursday hampered
preparations on the pitch.
It meant Southbrook played no
cricket on Saturday.
The first match at Dudley Park
between Leeston-Southbridge
and Cheviot was also abandoned
for the same reason.
With their first match abandoned
and points shared, Lincoln
got a much needed win over
Sefton in the afternoon.
Lincoln chased down their target
of 121 against Sefton by five
wickets and nine balls to spare.
Three wickets from Arthur
Paterson and two from Jeremy
TOP PERFORMANCE: Lincoln’s Jeremy Benton took two wickets
and then made 39 with the bat to help his team beat Sefton by
five wickets and keep their Canterbury Country twenty20 final
hopes alive on Saturday.
Benton restricted Sefton.
Then Benton hit 39 and Paterson
38 in the run chase to see the
team home.
It was a great weekend for
Oxford who won both their
matches, first against Darfield
by 30 runs after they were able
to defend 118 thanks to Mitch
Power’s five for 17.
They then ended Leeston-
Southbridge’s final hopes with a
four wicket win.
Darfield lost both their games to
Cheviot and Oxford respectively,
SELWYN TIMES
while Weedons lost their morning
encounter with Sefton and their
afternoon fixture against Southbrook
was abandoned.
The final round of games
is a ‘closest neighbour’ round
with Lincoln hosting Weedons,
Darfield welcoming Leeston-
Southbridge, Cheviot travelling
to Oxford and Southbrook hosting
Sefton.
Points: Oxford 20, Sefton
16, Lincoln, 14, Cheviot 14,
Southbrook 12, Weedons 10,
Leeston-Southbridge 6, Darfield 4.
Have you tried
out the 87?
The 87 bus from Southbridge to the central
city is an ideal commuter service for those
who wish to save on petrol and parking
and get some time back in their day.
This is a trial service being reviewed in
April 2020, with the option to continue
if it is well supported by the community,
so hop onboard your local service now.

Tasty Bites
No more beeting around the bush
• By Ian Knott
Beetroot deserves so
much more than being
dumped from a can onto
a green salad. Packed
with essential nutrients,
this vibrant vegetable is a
great source of fibre, folate,
manganese, potassium,
iron, and vitamin C
Beetroot and halloumi
sliders with chilli jam
Serves 4
Ingredients
400g tin chickpeas, rinsed and
drained
1 tsp ground cumin
1-2 hot green chillis, finely
chopped
250g raw beetroot, peeled and
grated (wear gloves to avoid
staining your hands)
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
50g fresh wholemeal
breadcrumbs
1 egg
olive oil
Halloumi 1 slice per slider
Handful of rocket
8 or 12 small buns (brioche if you
can get them), split and cut side
toasted
Chilli jam to serve
‘Famous for their roasts!’
Directions
Put the chickpeas in a bowl
and mash them roughly, add
the cumin and chilli and mash
again. Add the beetroot, parsley,
breadcrumbs, egg and plenty of
seasoning. Mix well and form into
8 or 12 small patties.
Heat about 1cm of oil in a
frying pan and fry the patties on
each side until they are crisp and
brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
Fry the halloumi briefly until it
starts to brown a little. Put a few
rocket leaves on the base of each
bun, add a patty and a slice of
halloumi followed by a spoon
of chilli jam then put the lid on.
Start your
day with us
A cocktail stick will hold the lot
together. Serve 2 or 3 per person.
Roast beetroot soup with
caramelised onion and blue
cheese toast
Serves 6
Ingredients
1kg beetroots, topped, tailed,
scrubbed clean and cut into large
pieces
1 red onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic
½ a small bunch of thyme, plus a
few leaves
500ml vegetable stock
100ml crème fraîche
½ lemon, juiced
For the toast
3 slices sourdough, cut in half
4 Tbsp caramelised onion
chutney
150g blue cheese
handful of walnuts, roughly
chopped
Directions
Heat the oven to 200 deg C
(180 deg C fan forced). Put the
beetroots, red onion and garlic
into a roasting tin, pour in 150ml
of water, season well and scatter
over the thyme. Cover with a
double layer of foil and put into
the oven for 1hr 15min or until
the beetroots are very tender to
the point of a knife.
Remove the foil, peel the
beetroots and discard the skin,
then chop into small pieces. Put
into a pan with the onion, garlic
and vegetable stock, bring to the
boil then use a hand blender to
whizz until completely smooth,
or ladle into a blender and whizz.
Season, then stir in the crème
fraîche and lemon juice, and
whizz again. Keep warm.
Heat the grill to high. Put the
bread pieces onto a baking tray
and toast on either side. Spread
each piece with the chutney and
then add a piece of blue cheese,
some thyme leaves and walnuts.
Grill until melted.
Spoon the soup into bowls and
top with the toast.

Living in the Selwyn District you may
have horses on your property. Animal
Evac NZ, which is currently helping out in
Australia rescuing animals, has launched a
Horse Emergency Plan.
If there is an emergency you may
become isolated and not know what to do
so the charity has developed a checklist
and a travel card with basic information
about your horse/s, including owner’s
name, vet details and the RAPID number.
Checking your property for risks is a
good start. Simple things like multiple
access and egress points, creating a site
plan for what needs to be turned off if
there was an emergency and whether fire
hoses can reach relevant buildings.
Secondly create plans for the options of
staying put at your property or evacuating
and make sure these are readily available
and that everyone knows about these
plans.
Ensure your horses are easily identified,
not only with microchips but also
temporary identification if there is an
emergency such as a mane tag. Have proof
of ownership on hand and an emergency
contact list for your horses.

A grab and go kit should be pre-packed

suitable clothing for the owner.
Transporting your horses could be up
to you so make sure all transport options
are registered. You may also need to help
other horse owners so keep in touch with
neighbours to see if there is anything they
require.
The Horse Transport Travel Card will
also need to be completed. It can outline
information about the horse owner’s name
and contact details, the vet’s name and
the RAPID address for where the horse/s
are at. It also includes a simple checklist
about what to do in an emergency
situation along with an alternative contact
and where the horse first aid kit and
information about the horse is kept.

Extending the
life of your
spouting
Birds nesting in your home’s spouting is
not only a noise issue but the eggs and
young chicks can also attract vermin
which can then get inside roof cavities
and chew through wiring creating a fire
hazard within your home.
Gumleaf Gutter Guard is an effective
way of preventing birds from making
nests in the spouting and soiling walls
and windows with their droppings. The
guards can also protect tank water from
being contaminated, ensuring the safety
and quality of the water supply.
Another key advantage of Gumleaf
Gutter Guard is that it prevents leaf litter
from gathering in the spouting.
“Leaf litter remains damp and acidic
and that wrecks the spouting,” says owner
Rohan.
“By having Gumleaf Gutter Guard
installed, the life of the spouting is
extended to the life of the roof.”
Snow can also damage spouting, and
again Gumleaf Gutter Guard will protect
the spouting by spreading the load,
Rohan says.
Developed in Australia more than 20
years ago, Gumleaf Gutter Guard has
been providing a quality and effective
solution in New Zealand for the last
decade, Rohan says. Much of his work
comes from repeat business, with
customers happy with both the product
quality and the service he provides.
Customers requesting a quote will
receive it within 24 hours, and Rohan
says he will “go anywhere to provide a
quote”.
He is also available Monday to
Saturday to speak to customers who call
him.
“Even if I am working on a job, I will
talk to anyone who calls me,” he says.
Once a quote is accepted, the job is
started within 10 days, with installation
on an average sized house taking one to
two days. Rohan also does any necessary
minor repair jobs on the roof at the same
time.
To discuss your requirements with
Gumleaf Gutter Guard, phone 0800 486
532, or email rohan@gumleaf.co.nz.

Bath, shower or both?
If you want to update your bathroom,
a new bath or shower can make a huge
difference but there are lots of different
choices available.
Depending on the size of your bathroom
you may want a separate bath and shower
or a shower over the bath.
Choosing a shower you would think
would be an easy decision but like baths
there are lots of options available. What
shape would suit the space the best –
corner, square, round, floorless, angled?
The actual shape is determined by what
works best in terms of how much room
you need to move around and where the
other items are eg basin, toilet and bath.
Standing in a shower at a showroom will
give you more idea of how spacious it feels.
Another question is whether a walk-in
option that sits flush with the floor would
work or if you have young children a
shub with a deeper tray would be a useful
addition to the bathroom.
Next up is the type of door – again this
will depend on the size and shape of the
shower. Would a sliding door work in
terms of taking up less space.
What about storage in the shower such
as a built-in shelf or cavity and, depending
on the household’s needs, the addition of a
foot rest or seat could be useful.
The range of baths is also extensive,
whether you need one for the children
or for having a long soak. With so many
options available it needs to suit your style
– and the space available.
A freestanding bath is the ultimate visual
statement and, with the right design, can
create a feeling of space. Keeping the bath
well away from the wall makes it much
easier to clean.
Inset baths are ideal for bath/shower
combos as run-off water can be contained.
Inset baths are available with two straight
ends, two curved ends, or one of each.
Two curved ends, or a double-ended bath,
is a great choice for families with more
than one child.
If space is limited in your bathroom, you
can use a built-in corner bath to make the
most of every inch.
With so many choices available, the best
place is to work out what suits the needs of
your household. Then measure the space
and create a basic plan that shows where
the windows and door are, and which
way it opens, and take this along to your
bathroom supplier.
By doing this, some of the decisions
about what would work best in your
bathroom are already made.
For more information there is plenty of
information online at a range of supplier
and designer websites.

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

Hydroseeding perfect
solution for your new lawn
Hydroseeding is a cost effective and
efficient way of creating a new, great
looking lawn in only a couple of weeks.
Locally owned by Zac and Ashley
Swale, Canterbury Lawns specialises in
hydroseeding, a spray-on application
of water, grass seed, wood fibre mulch,
fertiliser and tackifier (a glue which
holds the mix to the surface it is sprayed
on). This method give the best chance
for the seeds to germinate and become
your beautiful green and luscious lawn.
Providing it is well maintained and the
conditions are right, it takes two to six
weeks to see the results depending on the
season.
Hydroseeding can be done any time of
the year as the products used are suited
to the season but in summer your lawn
will germinate much faster. Watering
is key and Zac recommends having an
automated irrigation system installed to
make the job easier, more convenient and
more efficient in terms of water use and
he can advise regarding the best type of
sprinklers for your needs.
Zac and the team are also specialists
in erosion and dust control for both
commercial and residential areas.
Their hydroseeder can hold large
quantities at a time making the
job more efficient and they source
top quality products to suit each
job. This can be for work sites,
BMX tracks, driveways, quarries,
construction yards, slopes, swales
and more. Anywhere dust or
erosion is an issue, they can find a
solution to best fix the problem.
Canterbury Lawns also installs
roll-out instant lawns using top
quality products which are locally
sourced and, as part of their
service, also provides an after care sheet
with advice about looking after your new
lawn.
Landscaping is another part of the
Canterbury Lawns service, whether
you need garden preparation, site
clearing, retaining walls, paving or paths.
They not only work close to home on
residential properties but also specialise
in commercial and larger-scale work,
bringing to any job a high level of both
expertise and enthusiasm.

FEBRUARY IS a busy month
for harvesting fruit and
gathering mature vegetables.
It can be a little challenging
with typically very dry weather
and strong winds. With daily
care, you can limit the impact
on your garden.
Vegetable gardens –
Where vegetable gardens have
been well cared for, summer
vegetables should be prolific
in February. This includes aubergines,
beans (climber and
dwarf), beetroot, courgettes,
cucumbers, lettuce, radishes,
tomatoes, pumpkins and zucchinis.
Continue to replant
quick maturing summer veggies
like dwarf beans, lettuce/
salad greens and radishes.
Remove plants after they have
cropped and add them to the
compost bin. Maintain a regular
watering regime and apply
side dressings of vegetable fertiliser
around slow-maturing
vegetables. Towards the end
of the month, begin planting
“winter vegetables” like broccoli,
cabbages and cauliflower
which will allow you to harvest
these in early winter.
Flowering annuals
– Flower gardens and containers
should be resplendent
in colour as summer annuals
peak in their display. Varieties
include alyssum, calendulas,
nemesia, pansies, petunias,
salvias, portulacas and zinnias.
Remember to trim petunias to
ensure continual flowering. It’s
worth noting that marigolds
are now available in a variety
of colours and sizes and are
possibly the most indestructible
summer annual to grow.
Bulbs – The end of
February marks the beginning
of the bulb planting season
and garden centres will now
stock a full range of bulbs.
Preparation for bulb planting
is similar to preparation for
vegetables and flowering
annuals. Dig over the soil
thoroughly, adding generous
HEALTHY:
Now is a
good time to

fertiliser.
amounts of compost. Ensure
the soil is well-drained and
the site receives full sun.
Some varieties of bulbs to
plant include; anemones,
crocus, daffodils, freesias,
hyacinth, iris, lachenalias,
nerines, ranunculus, tulips and
watsonias. Mark where you
have planted your bulbs with a
label that identifies the species
and date of planting.
Fruit trees – It’s harvest
time for late-season peaches
and plums, and the beginning
of apple and pear season.
Young fruit is now forming on
all citrus trees so water regularly.
This is especially important
for younger trees
to prevent fruit fall. Mulch
to help maintain soil moisture.
Strawberries – Fruiting
of strawberries has now
finished. Allow plants to grow
vigorously to provide runners
for next season planting.
Keep strawberry beds weeded,
plants mulched and water
to maintain strong, vigorous
growth.
Raspberries – In most
seasons, there will be a second
crop of raspberries in February
– not as prolific as the earlier
crop, but often quite plentiful.
Continue thinning and removing
excess growth.
Roses – Towards the end
of the month, roses will perk
up again and start providing
beautiful displays of flowers.
It’s also a good time to start
applying rose fertiliser. Remove
any diseased leaves and
spray regularly to keep rust
and black spot at bay. Add a
good layer of compost around
plants.
Lawns – It’s not an
easy month to maintain an
attractive lawn, especially if
your water supply is limited.
As with last month, leave
lawns to grow a little longer
than normal to help ‘catch’ and
retain any decent rainfall.

February can still bring plenty of hot weather and with a lack of rain
we really need to make sure we are keeping our gardens well-watered.
There are still plenty of tasks to complete, dead-heading, harvesting,
trimming, mulching and planting to name a few.
handy tip
Water timers are super handy, just set
the sprinkler going and leave it to do its
magic. Remember to water early in the
morning or early evening. Watering during
the heat of the day will result in a lot of
the water evaporating, and it can burn
plant’s leaves if the water droplets sit on
the plant and the sun shines on them.
Why mulch?
Plants prefer growing in an environment that remains
relatively constant. Soil temperature and moisture
levels can be affected by the weather (e.g. drying out
or getting too hot) and mulching helps to keep the soil
environment more even.
It also helps to reduce weeds coming through. At the
right depth, it can create a barrier so the weed seeds
cannot get enough sunlight to germinate. Who doesn’t
want less weeding???

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport priced for value
CAR MAKERS have become
increasingly aware of the need for
safety.
I applaud that, and most of
the cars now sold new are high
on safety kit. Mitsubishi, in
particular, build with state-of-theart
passive and active elements.
However, there are some drivers
who don’t want or need all of the
trick warning features, and in most
cases manufacturers have offered
the function to switch many of
them off – lane departure warning,
blind spot monitoring, rear cross
traffic alert, to name a few.
Mitsubishi has gone one
step further, it has completely
deleted some of those electronic
safety elements from the
Outlander, not all variants, but a
limited edition Outlander Sport
has arrived and it sits a valuepacked
$39,990.
For the alarmists, that hasn’t
affected the Outlander’s excellent
five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program safety rating,
it is still intact, and if you have just
$40k to spend on an Outlander
and want those passive features,
the XLS has them, along with
VRX ($45k).
To my way of thinking, the
Outlander Sport is great buying,
and it would be the sport utility
vehicle for me, it is one which
allows the driver to trust his
own judgement around spatial
awareness.
The Outlander has been with us
since the early 2000s and, while it
has had several model lifecycles
along the way, the concept hasn’t
changed, it is the quintessential
SUV that has blitzed the New
Zealand new car market over the
years, and has been a popular
used Japanese import. It stands
out for its ease of use, practicality,
functionality and, what’s more, it’s
just a darn nice vehicle to drive, it
feels so right in all areas.
The new Sport is available
only as a limited edition model,
the first batch has a production
run of just 300 units, although
another shipment is likely to
follow.
The Sport is a four-wheel-drive
model and comes with seven seats
(fronts heated and electrically
adjustable), full leather trim,
electric sunroof, electric tailgate,
keyless entry and ignition, and
8in multi-media dashboard
display. It also gets extra cosmetic
treatment – big spoiler, 18in black
wheels, and a host of piano black
cosmetic trim detailing.
Elsewhere, the Outlander Sport
is the desirable SUV which I
mentioned in my introduction.
It has a comfortable interior
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT: Bargain price at $39,990.
environment, and is spacious.
The cargo area measures up to
1608-litres, which is enough
capacity to carry those tricky
items we tend to move from time
to time such as the cardboard
box the Kiddie-household’s new
television came in.
While it carries a Sport badge,
mechanically the Outlander
retains the tried and true
powerplant which has essentially
served it since its introduction.
It’s a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol
engine (diesel available in other
variants), and is hooked to a
continuously variable automatic.
Mitsubishi claims 126kW
and 224Nm of torque from the
engine, these are par figures and
contribute to good performance
under all conditions – bearing in
mind that many SUVS are used
for towing, and the Outlander
in this form is rated with a
1600kg tow rating. In terms
of acceleration, there’s enough
strength from under the bonnet
to record a 9sec standstill to
100km/h time.
It is also an engine that has
been continually developed so
that fuel usage is minimised.
Mitsubishi also claims a
combined cycle average of
7.2-litres per 100km.
That is consistent with the fuel
usage readout in the evaluation
car, it was constantly sitting
around 9l/100km during both
inner city driving and on a
highway loop.
I used the roads near the
Selwyn River to evaluate the
Sport, it sits beautifully on the
road and whisks through the
air without overly noticeable
sound.
Power is channelled to the
front wheels – spreading to all

four when slippage up front is
detected. A centre console switch
can be pressed to dial in fullyengaged
four-wheel-drive and
centre diff lock.
I only left the seal for a short
excursion into the loose shingle.
SUVs aren’t really off-roaders
as such, but with 190mm of
ground clearance the Outlander
does have genuine cross-country
ability, it can be presented
with undulating terrain with
confidence. It steers directly
in deep shingle and it has
suspension which absorbs well
ruts and corrugations.
The Mitsubishi Motor
Corporation likes to have long
life-cycles for its models. I’m a big
believer in that. Too often good
cars aren’t with us long enough,
yet it’s fair to say the Outlander
has been kept fresh and modern
along the way, it is an example of
how well a vehicle can do with
solid engineering practices and
clever marketing.

RENOWNED FOR
BUILDING QUALITY
VILLAGES
Since 1985, family owned and
operated Manor Group Investments
have met the needs of people in their
retirement, developing and operating
retirement facilities, and introducing
the ‘own your own’ village concept.
Manor Group proudly presents
Woodcroft Estate, a lifestyle village
its residents will collectively own, and
one which offers security, freedom
and the financial benefit of home
ownership, with 100% capital gain and
no retention fees when a unit is sold.
A LIFESTYLE VILLAGE YOU
WILL LOVE TO LIVE IN
Woodcroft Estate is a lifestyle village offering
spacious homes with gardens in a safe and
supportive environment, while affording residents
their independence.
LARGE OPEN PLAN LIVING
A total of 78 units are planned for Woodcroft
Estate comprising: 62 two and three bedroom
duplexes and 16 three bedroom standalones. Units
range in size from 127sqm to 173sqm with the
option of single or double garaging, and priced
from $425,000. There is a range of design layouts
to choose from, to suit individual budgets and
lifestyle needs. All units are designed for energy
efficiency and constructed to a high standard from
modern low maintenance materials.
There will be a full-time manager along with a
pavilion, outdoor community area with barbecue,
and bowling green, due to be constructed in 2020.
While units are owned under a Licence to Occupy,
residents investing in a lifestyle at Woodcroft Estate
choose the sale price and receive 100% capital gain.

RESIDENTS SHARE THEIR STORIES
Dawn and Graham:
“We were attracted to Woodcroft
Estate’s village design, spaciousness,
maintenance-free features, quality
finish, and because we could choose
how our new home was fitted-out.
We love the positive daily fellowship
between residents and the regular
get-togethers. We’re handy to
Rolleston’s shopping centre (a
20 minute flat walk). We can sell
and move on without a built-in
depreciation expense. We moved
from a much larger home and
property yet we’ve lost nothing. We
have a larger than normal floor space
for a villa with a double garage.”
Ann and Ken:
“On deciding to downsize we
considered the options. We
chose Woodcroft lifestyle
village because it’s not going
to be too big, it’s a quality
build, has locked security
gates at night, and we retain
full capital investment with
no retention fees going to
the developer. Maintenance,
gardening and lawn mowing
are done for us so we can
travel worry-free. We welcome
new residents to our ‘happy
family’. We’re very pleased we
chose Woodcroft Estate.”
Carol and Phil:
“We moved into our two bedroom home 16
months ago. We’re very settled and happy. Our
home is spacious with plenty of storage and it
was nice to hand over the maintenance, lawns
and gardens to someone else. We’ve made some
good friends. They’re like a supportive family.
We’re so glad we made the move when we did.”
Warren and Pam:
“We are enjoying our time living in Woodcroft
Lifestyle Village, love our 3 bedroom townhouse,
we think this is a great investment with 100%
capital gain with the Manor Group.”

As residents, Ian and
Ngaire Stewart say:
“We moved into Woodcroft
Estate in August 2019. For
us it has been the correct
decision that we decided to
made this move. one of the
crucial motivations for us was
that we can retain the capital
gain on our investment.
We have made many new
friends and enjoy the quiet
relaxed environment that the
Woodcroft Estate provides
for us all.”

Getting what
you paid for on
settlement day
In the movies, the day someone gets
the keys to their newly bought home is
portrayed as a golden, stress-free time. The
reality can be rather different, especially
if you find your dream home has turned
into something akin to Nightmare On
Elm Street since you agreed to buy it.
“The trick to a stress-free settlement
is to do as much as you can in advance,
starting with when you’re signing the sale
and purchase agreement,” advises Kevin
Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the
Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA).
“The sale and purchase agreement is the
legally-binding contract agreed between
you and the seller that details the property,
the conditions of sale and the price.
Make sure that there is an agreed list of
chattels, with notes as to their condition,
in this agreement. If the property is full of
rubbish, and you want it gone before you
take possession, make that a condition of
the sale. If there are holes in the fence that
the seller has promised to fix, get that in
writing on the agreement: don’t rely on
verbal assurances that something will be
done prior to settlement. It’s far better
to get all these niggly details sorted out
before you sign the agreement than face
protracted battles down the track.”
As a buyer, you are generally entitled to
one opportunity to inspect the property
before settlement day. If the property has
sitting tenants, ask your lawyer to ensure
there is a ‘final inspection’ clause inserted
in the sale and purchase agreement before
you sign it. This inspection is to make
sure that it is in the same or better order
it was when you viewed it and agreed to
the sale. It is not designed to give you the
chance to uncover new defects, or to give
a rental agent the chance to appraise the
place’s value.
“A seller does not have to accommodate
any extra requests to visit the property
prior to settlement,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Remember that the seller may have a
lot on their plate; making the property
available so your interior decorator can
measure up for new curtains is unlikely
to be a high priority.”
Your real estate agent will usually
arrange the inspection with the seller,
and accompany you to the property. Most
experts recommend that this inspection
takes place around 24 hours before
settlement day so there are no hold-ups
to the transfer of funds and ownership.
When you come to inspect the property,
everything should be as it was when you
decided to purchase it (as reflected by the
sale and purchase agreement). Lampen-
Smith says you can expect chattels to be in
a reasonable working order unless it has
been agreed and documented otherwise.
You cannot complain to the seller that
the oven isn’t clean enough, but you can
raise a complaint if it is missing, or it is
a different model to the one cited in the
agreement. Don’t forget to check that
garage door openers and pool covers are
in situ, or that locks work properly.
If there is a problem, the REAA says
you should speak to the real estate agent
and your lawyer in the first instance. They
can help you negotiate with the seller to
remedy any issues, such as a newly broken
window or missing keys. Your lawyer
should work with the seller’s lawyer to
reach a satisfactory solution, such as
getting the seller to make any necessary
repairs, or to deduct any costs from the
eventual settlement.
Making the final inspection 24 hours
before settlement is due gives you and the
seller time to reach an agreement over
anything outstanding. This is important,
because if you do not complete settlement
on the due date and the seller can
demonstrate that they were able and
willing to complete their side of the
settlement, then you will be liable for
interest on any portion of the purchase
price that is unpaid. The seller does not
need to give you access to the property
while any amount remains outstanding.
“Like any property transaction, success
often depends on doing things right at the
start,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Get the details right at the beginning
and you’ve got a greater chance of a happy
ending.”

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Investing in Selwyn
Business owner: Big Red
Business owner: Emma Langton-George
Synonymous with the Ray White real estate brand is the
colour yellow. It is seen on their advertising signs promoting
residential property throughout Selwyn.
With three offices strategically located in Rolleston, Lincoln
and West Melton, supported by a team of 25 agents who work
as one cohesive team, it is not surprising Ray White has a
significant local presence and outstanding sales figures for the
district. They have completed over 4,500 house sales in the last
12 years.
The successful and well-respected Selwyn Ray White Town
& Lifestyle group is led by business owners, Brendan ‘Big Red’
Shefford and Emma Langton-George, supported by previous
business owners Sarah Booth, and Steve and Leanne Morgan.
“Our salespeople form the largest real estate team in the
Selwyn district. We are proud of the fact that a number of the
team have been with us since day one,” advises Nick Hallpike
who is Group Manager for Town and Lifestyle Group.
Everyone in the team lives locally in relation to the three
offices. They share an ethos of working together to ensure
every client receives the very best service and experience,
whether buying or selling a property.
The experience and knowledge of agents, along with regular
in-house and external training sessions, management support,
coaching, updates on law changes and other topical issues,
ensures professionalism and best practice is adhered to.
Everyone in the sales team has access to the Ray White
database, allowing them to introduce buyers to all listings.
They will also work with other agents from other companies
to ensure the very best buyer is found for every home they are
selling.
“This protects the value of the seller’s home while ensuring
the best price is achieved, all reasons why many clients
‘recommend, refer and return’ when they have real estate
needs,” says Nick Hallpike.
Nick Booth, Branch Manager of the Lincoln office, believes
the firm’s technology is a key strength.
He says: “The pro-active approach to open homes provides
transparency, as well as open and honest feedback for
homeowners who have 24/7 private log-in access to view the
statistics and comments made by every viewer of their home.”
Ray White Town & Lifestyle offer a free appraisal service.
They can also offer advice on how to best prepare a home for
sale, whether recommending tradespeople or home stylists to
enhance the home’s appeal or connecting clients with legal,
financial or property management advice. The firm even has a
JP on the team to witness any legal documentation.
The Selwyn Ray White team work hard, supporting their
clients as well as local organisations, events and individuals
through sponsorship and fundraising throughout the year.
Nick Hallpike reiterates the importance of giving back to the
community, something which he believes has strengthened
their trusted personal and business bond in Selwyn.

Building on a budget
Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with
a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford.
17
Get smart with your money to achieve
your dream home without compromising
on what’s really important.
Consider buying a large plot of land with
friends or family which you can split into
smaller lots. Many great
locations tend to cover
more ground, so get the
stunning harbour view
you dream of by sharing
the cost with someone you
don’t mind having as a
neighbour.
Opting for lowmaintenance
building
materials, like vinyl siding
and metal roofing saves in
the long run. Although
they may be more
expensive to install you
will save money on future
repairs, replacement or
repainting.
Using salvaged and recycled
materials and componentry
from the abundance of
demolition sites around the
city not only adds valuable
character to new builds, but
can save money, too.
For the safety and security
of your home, don’t skimp on structural
elements, doors and windows. Buy the
very best you can afford and, together
with your architect or builder, determine
other areas you could save on to allow for
a few luxuries.
It’s important not to waste valuable cash
on overbuilding. Look carefully at the
existing properties in the area and be
Deciding exactly
what you want
and then sticking with
it will ensure you stay
on budget, on time,
and all with
minimal stress.
aware that building a home that is bigger
and better than those of your neighbours
will not necessarily equate to a fair price
if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the
value of your build will be determined
by the lower-priced homes
around it.
The experience of a wellqualified
contractor is an
invaluable asset in any
building project. Not only
will you have recourse
should anything go wrong,
but their experience in
the industry means they
will have established
relationships with suppliers
and subcontractors, whom
they trust to deliver the best
workmanship possible.
Keep a close eye on
construction allowances as
your home is being built
to ensure you are getting
what you asked for and
what you paid for. if you
had initially agreed on
using a specific brand, for
example, then don’t settle
for less, unless you discuss
a cost adjustment with your
builder or contractor.
Many a building project has snowballed
out of control in the financial department
due to changes being made to the design
and materials once building is already
underway. Deciding exactly what you
want and then sticking with it will ensure
you stay on budget, within your expected
time frame, and all with minimal stress.

Buying a lifestyle block
City life getting you down? Dreaming of
living in the country, where you ‘commute’
from the breakfast table to a barn or your
home office? It might look like an easy life but
buying a lifestyle property can be a complex
business.
While living in the country has much
to recommend it, you need to do more
preparation for buying a place there than
buying a pair of gumboots and comparing
the merits of ride-on mowers.
“We recommend comprehensive due
diligence when buying any kind of property,
but rural ones come with a whole extra set of
things to think about compared to buying a
straightforward stand-alone home in town,”
says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief executive of
the Real Estate Authority (REA).
Lampen-Smith says that while it’s tempting
to focus on the dream wish list for your
bucolic bolt-hole, but you should also
compile a list of issues to be aware of (and
people who can help you learn about them).
“If the property you like is being sold by a
licensed real estate agent, remember that you
can ask them anything you like about it,” he
says.
“Rural real estate agents have special skills
in this area and they’ll be able to help you
figure out what information you need to
make a well-informed decision. It’s also a
good idea to get your lawyer onboard early to
check titles, consents and other information
that you gather in the process.”
It might feel like you’re getting away from
it all when moving out of town, but rural
developments can be subject to rules that
restrict what you can do. Lampen-Smith
recommends getting your lawyer to check if
there are any covenants on the property that
might have an impact on a future business
you may run there, or any planned building
projects. You don’t want to invest in an
alpaca herd for your new dream property
only to find that it’s not allowed to carry any
livestock. Similarly, it would be tough to
discover that your subdivision plans are not
permitted by council rules.
Be aware that there may be tax implications
if you’re planning to use the property as a
business, Lampen-Smith says.
“In general, if it is currently being used for
a business that is tax-registered – whether
that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock
or running a B&B – then the seller will
probably add GST to the price. This means
you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you are
also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer or
accountant to check if the house or any other
buildings on the property are GST-exempt.
They will also be able to advise you on
whether you need to be GST-registered.”
A good place to start when trying to figure
out what tax obligations might attach to your
purchase of the property is Inland Revenue’s
property tax decision tree (available at
http://www.ird.govt.nz/property/propertyterms-and-tools/property-decision-tree/),
but keep in mind that it is always best to
seek professional advice before you make a
decision.
Rural properties (like all properties) can
also have easements on the title that relate to
access, water or power. Lampen-Smith says
you should ask your lawyer to check the title
and work out what the easements are, and
how they will have an impact on your rights
and responsibilities as an owner.
“For example, if the title allows a neighbour
access to a piece of their land through your
property, do you have any right to limit the
type and frequency of that access if you buy
it?”
Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’
easements operating; the incumbent owners
may have an informal arrangement with their
neighbours, but this may not remain when
the property passes into new ownership.
Things that we take for granted when living
in urban environments, like water, sewage
and access, can require more involvement in
rural areas. Check the water sources for the
property – if it has its own bore, are there
limits on the amount of water you can draw
from it? What is the process for ensuring it is
safe to drink? What happens to wastewater
and sewage? Are you prepared for life with
a septic tank? Will the current owner ensure
the tank is empty as a condition of sale?
When it comes to access, will you share
a private road or right of way with other
properties? What will be your responsibilities
and potential costs for maintaining it? Don’t
forget that your neighbours may be involved
in unglamorous activities at ungodly hours –
check the zoning rules for nearby properties
if you’re worried about noise, smells or traffic.
You might think it’s lovely to have stock
grazing out the window, but are you ready for
a milk tanker driving past every morning? Be
aware that the LIM will not always alert you
to any pending or current NZTA decisions
regarding local highway linkages that often
divert traffic away from urban centres in
favour of immediate rural areas on the town
boundary. Check with NZTA if you think
your property could be affected by road
changes.
“Like all property purchases, buying a place
in the country requires careful, objective
consideration,” Lampen-Smith says.
“There are lots of great things about living
on the land, but it’s best to be realistic about
it. You don’t want to be like the former townie
I met a few weeks ago, who mournfully told
me that their lifestyle block had become “a
life sentence”. Do your homework and you’re
far more likely to live happily ever after in
rural bliss.”
