WEST MELTON’S Julia 

Holmes is on a mission to 

make a difference in the world. 

The fifteen-year-old has 

a passion for biology, and 

from a young age has always 

been interested in how things 

worked, oten taking things 

apart just to put them back 

together. 

That passion has landed her 

the opportunity of her dreams. 

Julia is one of 25 young 

women chosen around the 

country to participate in 

the GirlBoss Advantage 

programme next month, 

designed to mentor the 

female leaders of tomorrow in 

industries that were oten maledominated, 

with particular 

focus on science, technology, 

engineering and maths. 

She was shocked to hear the 

news from her mother.

decision 

to come 

from Govt 

• By Devon Bolger 

ANY DECISION on helping people 

who may struggle to pay their rates 

will come from the Government, 

the district council says. 

Said district 

council chief 

executive David 

Ward: “(We) will 

be guided by 

government 

policy and 

guidelines in 

David Ward 

relation to fifnancial 

assistance 

for ratepayers. 

It is likely to be a national 

decision.” 

Mr Ward said it is still too early 

to tell exactly what assistance the 

community will need. 

“It’s very early days and I 

think that we are just looking 

at how we respond to the virus. 

For us, it’s about responsiveness 

to the central government 

guidelines, the safety of staff 

and the safety of our communities.” 

It follows calls from 

Christchurch city councillors to 

stop rates increases in response 

to the Covid-19 crisis.

Hororata resident helpless 

to stop property flooding 


A HORORATA resident says he 

is getting no help in preventing 

severe flooding on his property. 

Robby Wilson has lived on 

Downs Rd for 38 years and said 

he has repeatedly tried to engage 

with the district council on finding 

a solution. 

“They won’t talk to me. I’ve 

talked to the mayor and staff and 

they’re going to do nothing for me. 

I’ve left messages but I’m never 

informed of anything,” he said. 

He says over half of his property 

will be flooded if there is 

more than 60mm of rain. 

“That is up to the floor of the 

house and about 250-300mm of 

water will get around and under 

my house. It has stripped the 

soil from the gardens, put water 

through my sheds and vehicles. I 

have had enough.” 

He said the district council has 

dug a ditch about 1km from his 

property but that has not helped. 

“They’re very nervous about 

doing things. They are just talking 

it’s all they’re doing. It’s a 

major inconvenience for us. 

“It’s the cost of it and the damage 

that gets done. We had a whole 

lot of old books and they are all 

ruined from the flooding during 

Christmas in 2018 and nobody 

seems to give a stuff. Nobody takes 

it seriously I don’t think.” 

DISAPPOINTED: 

Robby Wilson’s 

Hororata property 

suffers from 

severe flooding, 

like this incident in 

December 2018, and 

he says nothing is 

being done to help. 

A work plan for 

flood protection in 

the township includes 

a number of projects 

aimed at reducing 

flooding. 

Happy Jacks Creek 

is to be cleared and 

floodgates installed, a 

diversion drain will be 

installed on Hawkins 

Rd, the smaller culverts 

along the existing 

drain on the road 

will be upgraded and 

old water race culverts 

will be opened. 

A water level monitor will also 

be installed at the roundabout on 

Bealey Rd and extensive willow 

clearing is planned for Cordy’s 

Stream and the Hororata River 

as well as gravel removal to improve 

flood flows. 

Mr Wilson said this work 

could possibly help the township 

but it would not stop the severe 

flooding and his property. 

A district council spokesman 

confirmed that Mr Wilson had 

contacted them and said they 

will discuss his concerns directly 

with him. 

Mr Wilson doubts this will 

happen as he has tried several 

times to get answers from the 

district council before. 

It has only been in the last few 

years or so that the flooding has 

got this bad, he said 

“The council is putting an 

ambulance at the bottom of 

a cliff with what they have 

planned for flood protection. 

You have to stop the water getting 

into the township rather 

than dealing with it when it 

gets here,” he said. 

“The report that was presented 

to the Malvern Community 

Board is flawed and most of 

it will do nothing to stop the 

flooding.” 

Rates 

decision 

• From page 1 

Councillors James Gough, Sam 

MacDonald, Catherine Chu, Phil 

Mauger, Aaron Keown and James 

Daniels sent a letter to Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel asking her to lead 

a conversation as to how a zero 

per cent rates increase could be 

achieved this year. 

Mayor Sam Broughton said 

the situation is continuing to 

develop and he wants to ensure 

the district is responsible with the 

assets it has. 

“There needs to be the investment 

that is required to ensure 

that our water and wastewater 

systems are up to scratch and we 

can provide good services to our 

community,” he said, 

On Monday, all of the community 

facilities in the district closed 

their doors. 

The closure includes all libraries 

and service centres, the Selwyn 

Aquatic Centre, Lincoln Event 

Centre, Rolleston Community 

Centre, West Melton, Tai Tapu, 

and Dunsdandel community centres, 

and all other council-owned 

community centres. 

Libraries and recreation 

centres will be looking at finding 

alternative ways of delivering 

programmes and classes using 

digital channels.

Julia’s big plans 

• From page 1 

“At first it was really 

shocking, and then it 

really settled in that this 

is actually happening and 

it’s amazing to have this 

opportunity,” she said. 

The programme helps 

young females gain important 

skills and exposure 

in a series of masterclasses 

and rapid-fire internships. 

While gaining experience 

and connecting with industry 

leaders to fulfil their 

dreams, it simultaneously 

addresses the skills and 

gender diversity gap in 

workplaces today. 

Said Julia: “The programme 

will be beneficial 

for young women because 

it will encourage them to 

believe they’re more than 

capable of working in those 

industries.” 

Julia moved to New Zealand 

from Essex, United 

Kingdom, in 2011 with her 

parents and twin sisters for 

better schooling opportunities. 

She was diagnosed 

with attention deficit 

hyperactivity disorder as 

a child, which she and her 

family began to understand 

once they moved to New 

Julia Holmes 

Zealand. 

“I have ADHD, so at the 

time Selwyn House School 

helped my parents understand 

what that was, and get 

me on the proper medication 

so I could focus,” she said. 

The 15-year-old dreams 

of becoming a geneticist 

one day, using genetic 

modifications to improve 

the lives of the less fortunate. 

Her love of biology 

stemmed from a family 

member who had a rare, 

chromosomal disorder 

which sparked an interest 

in learning more. 

“I want to help in some 

sort of way using genetics, 

like genetically modifying 

plants to help with world 

hunger,” she said. 

“I’ve also been working 

on a project called Project 

X in school, where I’m 

researching how I would be 

able to genetically modify 

mosquitos to carry a vaccine 

which could prevent 

disease in third-world 

countries.” 

The five-day GirlBoss 

Advantage programme is 

set to go ahead in Christchurch 

next month, where 

the students will have the 

opportunity to intern with 

Orion Group and is hosted 

by power company Connetics. 

Julia hopes to gain a 

number of key skills and 

experience to aid her on 

the road to becoming a 

geneticist. 

“This programme might 

be able to help me get some 

feedback from experts and 

mentors on the project I’m 

working on, and that I’ll be 

able to use later in life.” 

It is often a man’s world 

in her chosen industry, but 

she believes now is the time 

for girls to lead the world. 

“Don’t listen to the 

people who tell you that 

you can’t do it.”

How to 

self-isolate 

if you’re 70+ 

If you’re over 70 years of age, you should stay at 

home (self-isolate) as a precaution. It’s a good idea 

to organise a plan of action by reaching out to family, 

friends and neighbours. 

For more advice go to Covid19.govt.nz 

Continue enjoying physical exercise – like gardening 

– and ensure you have a good supply of food and 

medication. As a helping hand, the Government has 

doubled the Winter Energy Payment. 

How to 

support 

anyone 70+ 

It’s really important that we all support people aged 70+ in our 

communities during this challenging time. Here are a few suggestions: 

1. Stay at least 1 metre away. 

2. Wave or nod instead of shaking hands. 

3. Keep visits short (under 15 minutes). 

4. Talk to neighbours over the fence. 

5. Offer to pick up supplies and medicine. 

6. Offer to help them connect in ways other 

than in person, like video chat. 

7. Send videos or pictures of children 

rather than taking them to visit in person.

Residents set up 

trust to manage fundraising effort 


A TRUST has been set up to

Resident and businessman 

Hamish Prebble said the 

Prebbleton Clean Air Trust was 

set up to manage fundraised 

money.

trustees, three of 

which are within

and two from the

Saturday has been postponed 

due to Covid-19. 

Said resident Angela 

Jones: “There has been an 

overwhelming response to 

this event from the local 

communities and other 

surrounding areas. With 

numbers attending predicted 

to reach well over 1000 the 

decision to postpone was made 

for community well being and in 

line with government direction. 

“It is a difficult decision for us 

to make but it is important that 

we do this in the interests of the 

health of all our communities.” 

The group has also decided to 

start a givealittle page for people 

to donate to the cause.

“The money will be spent on 

opposing the applications for 

air discharge consents that have 

been made to Environment 

Canterbury, and for public 

awareness and education 

campaigns.” 

A website has also been created 

for further information on the 

proposal. 

Waste Management Ltd has 

applied to expand its current 

site and operate the toxic waste 

treatment plant at 305 Marshs 

Rd in South Hornby. 

In its resource consent 

application, it said the plant will 

treat and manage items, such as 

pesticides, acid, used tyres and 

other types of rubbish. 

Resource consent was granted 

for the proposed plant by the city 

council in December 2018. 

Environment Canterbury 

also granted three consents for 

its construction and discharge of 

stormwater in March 2019. 

The consent application currently 

with ECan is only for activities 

resulting in discharge to air. 

It ran a limited notified 

consent process, which meant 

only people within 500m of the 

proposed facility had a chance to 

have their say.

Dog poo 

problem 

in Lincoln 


PEOPLE ARE being urged to 

clean up after their dogs while in 

the Lincoln Domain. 

Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall 

said the issue was discussed at a 

Lincoln Event Centre management 

committee meeting recently. 

“I am really disappointed that 

people aren’t picking up their 

dog droppings as it is a matter of 

respect. 

“We just want to spread some 

awareness about the problem and 

ask people to clean up after their 

dogs so everyone can enjoy the 

domain,” he said. 

Cr Lyall said it is a timely 

reminder that dog owners must 

have bags to collect droppings on 

them at all times when out with 

their pets. 

District council senior animal 

control officer Steve Clarke said: 

“This domain has always been a 

dog friendly, off-leash, exercise 

area, which is regularly patrolled 

by our staff.”

Endemic hoverfly 

saves cabbage trees 

A DELICATE little hoverfly that 

can sometimes get trapped inside 

the house is the cabbage tree 

hoverfly, Allograpta ventralis. 

This species is a New Zealand 

endemic and is often found 

where there are cabbage trees. 

Adults are skinny little flies 

between 6 and 10mm long. 

They have white faces with 

large eyes, a dark, shiny thorax 

and yellow and black abdomen. 

Males are slightly smaller and 

their eyes are holoptic (which 

means they meet along the 

median dorsal line of the head) 

compared to females. 

Adults eat pollen from a 

variety of native and exotic 

plants. 

The females can contain 

more than 60 eggs. The larvae 

are flattened in shape and feed 

on the cabbage tree mealybug 

(Balanococcus cordylinidis) 

which are found at the base of 

the leaves, particularly where 

leaf debris gets lodged among 

leaf base, creating a moist 

environment. 

These mealybugs in large 

numbers can cause the cabbage 

trees to droop, look sick and 

sometimes die. 

Fortunately the hoverfly larvae 

can usually keep these native 

mealybugs in check and stop the 

trees succumbing to them. 

DELICATE: The cabbage tree hoverfly helps save cabbage 

trees from mealybug infestations. 

Coes Ford part of 

nationwide study 

COES FORD will 

play a major part of a 

nationwide study into 

the relationship between 

E.coli and harmful 

waterborne pathogens. 

Environment Canterbury 

surface water 

scientists Jarred Arthur 

and Emily Gray are carrying 

out sampling and 

testing of water at the 

ford as part of the pilot 

study for the Institute of 

Environmental Science 

and Research and the 

Ministry for the Environment. 

The site was chosen as 

it is a good representation 

of some of the issues 

facing swimming water 

quality in both the urban 

and rural sectors. 

Mr Arthur said the 

hope is for the study to enable 

scientists to predict where and 

when harmful pathogens will 

appear in water. 

“There are a lot of land-use 

pressures including agriculture, 

urban pressures and waterfowl or 

other nesting birds. 

“All those pressures add up on 

the water, and so we’re helping 

measure how those pressures are 

different in waterways around 

the country,” he said. 

This is important as it is all 

about protecting public health, 

Mr Arthur said. 

INVESTIGATE: Environment Canterbury surface water scientists Emily 

Gray (left) and Jarred Arthur taking samples at Coes Ford as part of a 

nationwide study. 

“Our waterways are important 

ecologically, culturally and aesthetically, 

but also for swimming 

water health and that’s what this 

project is directly related to.” 

Ms Gray said while microbes 

are what the pilot test is focused 

on, there are some potentially 

hidden dangers at sites such as 

Coes Ford. 

“Coes Ford is a contact 

recreation site, so we monitor a 

few things that could be a human 

health risk. E. coli is often 

focused on, but another large 

part of the health risk is toxic 

cyanobacteria. 

“At Coes Ford, this forms as 

a thick black mat that can be 

found on the bottom of the river. 

The mat produces a cyanotoxin 

which is potentially deadly. It can 

be really harmful to humans and 

to dogs, it only takes a teaspoon of 

the toxin to kill a dog,” she said. 

It is hoped that the results of 

the study will be used to inform 

a larger more intensive investigation 

to review New Zealand’s 

swimming water quality monitoring 

and reporting guidelines. 

The Heathcote River in 

Christchurch is also being 

sampled as part of the study.

SELWYN TIMES 

SPORT 

In Brief 

BDI out of Div 1 rugby 

Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell 

are one of two teams to have 

pulled out of the division one 

rugby competition due to a lack 

of playing numbers, along with 

newcomers Woodend. 

The competition was to start this 

weekend before Covid-19 caused 

the suspension all rugby in New 

Zealand. 

The pools and draw for the combined 

competition was redone 

but will need to be re-jigged 

again when club rugby begins. 

Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell 

intend to have a team play in 

division two instead. 

Rolleston Raptors take 

basketball title 

The Rolleston Raptors basketball 

team has won the men’s grade 

of their Hornby Action Indoor 

Sports league. 

The team beat Gordon’s Ballers 

in the final, last week. 

The team, which is made up of 

Rolleston High School students, 

uses the competition to prepare 

for the secondary school basketball 

season which is currently 

suspended due to Covid-19. 

Last year the team finished 

second and then represented 

their school and finish second at 

their South Island under-17 

tournament last September. 

Chamberlain chipper after 

stellar Hawke Cup season 

• By Jacob Page 

CANTERBURY Country and 

victorious Hawke Cup cricket 

captain Harry Chamberlain 

thought something special 

was brewing at the start of the 

season. 

The Leeston-Southbridge 

player said he felt the 16-strong 

squad picked in October had 

depth even with a number of 

them well entrenched in the 

Canterbury set-up. 

“One of the big things we did 

was pick that squad early so that 

we were all training together on 

a regular basis each week right 

from the start,” he said. 

“A number of our quick bowlers 

were needed for Canterbury 

throughout but we always felt 

we had the depth to cover that 

challenge.” 

Chamberlain had plenty of 

good sounding boards within 

the team for advice. 

“Guys like Shanan (Stewart) 

and Tim (Gruijters) are both 

senior guys and international 

cricketers.” 

He said Stewart’s century in 

the Hawke Cup win over Hamilton 

a month ago was a pivotal 

point in the campaign. 

LEADER: Harry Chamberlain says the Canterbury Country cricket team always had the potential 

to achieve what it did this past season. (Right) the team pictured after winning the Hawke Cup. 

“I know (Henry Shipley) got 

six wickets for us after we won 

the toss but Shan’s century in 

those conditions, with a slow 

outfield and that pitch, it was 

like 200. 

“Not all of the guys had played 

three-day cricket so it was a case 

of batting session by session and 

breaking it down that way. 

“We have guys in the squad 

who know their roles really well. 

“Guys like Jed Roberts and 

Rupert Young always find a way 

to contribute to the team and our 

overall success,” he said. 

“You need guys like that to 

have the season we have had. 

“Winning the Hawke Cup is 

no small achievement and knowing 

that we have it for the summer 

allows us to prepare well to 

try to defend it next season.” 

Chamberlain and his Leeston- 

Southbridge teammates have 

been denied the opportunity to 

defend their Canterbury Country 

45-over competition title 

due to the current Covid-19 

outbreak. 

Their final against Cheviot 

was to be played last Saturday 

but was cancelled along with 

all other cricket around New 

Zealand. 

Cheviot were declared the 

winners after they finished topof-the-table 

during the roundrobin 

phase of the competition.

COVID-19 

Council information 

The Council is actively monitoring and responding to the developing COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve 

set up a webpage for the latest up-to-date Council information at selwyn.govt.nz/covid19. Please 

keep an eye on this link or our Facebook page. 

All Council community facilities have been closed until further notice. 

The closure includes all libraries and service centres, Selwyn Aquatic Centre, Lincoln Event 

Centre, Rolleston, West Melton, Tai Tapu, and Dunsandel community centres, and all other 

council-owned community centres and halls. 

The Council’s Rolleston headquarters will remain open for now, but some services may be 

restricted or unavailable. We encourage people to minimise non-essential calls and visits. You can 

reach us on 0800 SELWYN (735 996) or by email. You can also find information, contact us, and 

make payments for many services on our website. 

If you are sick, have been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case or have returned from 

overseas in the past 14 days, do not visit the Rolleston headquarters. 

We have activated our business continuity and pandemic plans to make sure that essential 

services (such as roading, water, sewerage and stormwater, refuse collection etc) will continue. 

We are also prepared to support New Zealand health agencies with sharing of information and by 

making Civil Defence staff available. 

Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton says the decision to close facilities is based on meeting public health 

requirements for minimising social contact, and is consistent with most other councils in the region. 

“We understand this is a significant disruption for our communities, but it is important that we take 

all possible steps to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

“While there’s no indication of community transmission emerging at this stage, closing these 

facilities will help reduce any risk of the virus spreading through our community, and gives us the 

best chance of keeping our communities safe.” 

The Council is continuing to liaise with public health agencies and other neighbouring councils. 

The closures will be reviewed on a regular basis, but they are likely to be in place for some time. 

Libraries and recreation centres will be looking at alternative ways of delivering programmes and 

classes using digital channels. 

Campgrounds, parks and playgrounds will remain open at this stage. 

Information as at Monday 23 March. Check selwyn.govt.nz/covid19 for latest updates. 

Demolition of Lincoln building begins 

Work will begin this week on the demolition of the Lincoln Chinese Takeaway building on Gerald Street. 

The building at 5 Gerald Street is being removed as the first step in opening up the retail area and transforming 

the street appeal for the Lincoln Town Centre upgrade. Work to prepare the building for demolition is due 

to begin on Tuesday 24 March and the demolition is expected to be completed by Friday 8 May. 

The demolition will also allow further developments in this area 

to occur more easily during the Lincoln Town Centre upgrade, 

which is scheduled to start in 2023, and allow any developments 

to remain in keeping with the rest of the town centre design. 

A traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of the 

demolition works. The seven car parks directly in front of the 

building will also be closed for the duration of the work for safety 

reasons and for use by the contractors. Pedestrian access to 

the adjacent businesses will be maintained. 

A specialist team will safely remove asbestos from the building 

during April before the demolition starts on 20 April. New Zealand 

has strict laws for safe removal and this team will be working to 

the Worksafe New Zealand Code of Practice for the management 

and removal of asbestos and a site specific safety plan. 

Community funds help 

basketball make a slam dunk 

The Selwyn Hawks Basketball club has taken flight thanks to the 

Selwyn Community Fund. 

The fund supports local community groups and organisations 

holding events and activities that contribute to community wellbeing 

– including those that promote participation in physical activity 

across all ages and connecting members of the community. 

Applications for round two of funding from the Community Fund 

this year close on Thursday 30 April. Apply now at selwyn.govt.nz/ 

selwyncommunityfund. 

The Selwyn Hawks launched in 2018, in response to rising 

basketball participation in the district. In their first year, four Selwyn 

teams played in the Canterbury Basketball Association winter 

competition, and the Under 15 A team took home a winning title. 

The club grew rapidly entering nine teams in the 2019 CBA 

winter competition. 

The fund has allowed the Selwyn Hawks to continue their passion 

for basketball offering basketball skill development programmes 

and tournaments for Selwyn youth with over 630 children taking 

part in 2019. 

"This funding has enabled us to secure the services of a very 

experienced programmes co-ordinator, Aled Jones,” Selwyn Hawks 

Programmes Manager Shanon Cummings said. 

Mr Jones has been involved with playing and coaching basketball to 

a national level and is running several programmes and tournaments 

for the Selwyn Hawks. 

“The community has benefitted by the Selwyn Hawks being able 

to find and retain a highly skilled, knowledgeable and passionate 

basketballer,” Mrs Cummings said. 

The club has also run an after-school skills development programme 

for beginners called, ‘Hoops’ during the school term at three Selwyn 

venues: Rolleston Community Centre, Lincoln Event Centre and 

West Melton Community and Recreation Centre. 

Last year it also organised an inter-school tournament supported by 

the Community Fund, for 48 teams of children in years three to eight. 

Major drinking water projects 

take next step 

The multi-million dollar upgrade to the district’s drinking water 

system has taken a big step forward with its largest project 

completed. 

The Council is part way through a $23 million series of 59 capital 

works projects to build and upgrade pump stations, increase 

capacity and improve water quality. 

The new $1.4 million Helpet reservoir and pump station is now 

online significantly increasing the water available to Rolleston. The 

new station connects a 1200 cubic metre reservoir to the Rolleston 

water supply and a pump station that when fully operational will be 

able to pump up to 300 litres a second. 

Works has also been completed at Sheffield, Hororata, West Melton 

and Moore Street Rolleston and is underway at Tai Tapu, Rakaia 

Huts, Claremont, Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Springston, Leeston. 

Council Infrastructure Group Manager Murray Washington says 

the upgrades are part of a long-term plan to keep improving this 

essential service. 

“With the growth we’ve had in the past few years it’s important 

to make sure that we’re constantly upgrading our drinking water 

supply to make sure that people have access to a safe 

and sufficient supply.”

Malvern water race disruptions 

Council contractors will be doing repairs to the Waimakariri water race intake tunnel from Wednesday 1 

April. This work will require shutting flows from this intake for a period of up to 20 days. 

While the other scheme intakes will still be operational, it is expected that there will be widespread 

disruptions to the Malvern water race scheme throughout April. 

This work is necessary to ensure the intake is safe and to keep the water race scheme operating. 

Please be prepared that there may be no supply of stock water via the water race to your property for 

this works period. For a map of likely disruptions visit selwyn.govt.nz/wrdisruptions.

plan as they are reliant on you for help. 

Always practice good hygiene. Wash 

your hands with soap and water and dry 

them thoroughly especially after touching 

your pets. If you allow pets to lick you, 

please wash your face or hands or other in 

contact body parts afterwards. 

There are lots of survival kits/packs 

available for people but have you thought 

about what you may need in case your pets 

are involved in an emergency? 

In the first instance, have your vet’s 

afterhours emergency phone number on 

hand. 

Pet first aid kit 

Have a first aid kit ready, it should 

include: 

1. Bandages – crepe bandages, cohesive 

bandages 

2. Tape – micropore or similar 

3. Scissors 

4. Antibacterial wound cleaner 

There are all different kinds of 

emergencies, most of them involve taking 

your pet to the vet as soon as possible. In a 

case where there is a bleeding wound, use 

bandages and tape and apply pressure to 

stem the worst of the bleeding. The vet will 

assess the wound when you arrive. 

Bear in mind that if your pet has a 

penetrating wound with an object in the 

wound, such as a branch, knife etc, leave it 

as is and let the vet remove it safely. 

Any breathing difficulty including 

breathing too fast or laboured heavy 

breathing, especially whilst the animal is 

resting require urgent veterinary attention. 

Ingestion to known poisons such as rat/ 

mouse/rabbit bait, chocolate, antifreeze etc 

requires urgent veterinary attention also. 

Create a pet survival kit 

For natural disaster emergencies, it is 

prudent to have a survival kit ready at 

hand for your pet. For a pet survival kit, I 

suggest: 

1. Enough food for at least a week 

2. Bottles of water 

3. Warm blankets 

4. Bowls x 2 

5. Spare medication – if your pet is on 

on-going treatment it is always wise to 

obtain your next script in good time 

and not run too low 

6. Collar, harness and lead (this includes 

cat harnesses) to secure your pet 

7. Keep this in a box or bag that can be a 

pet carrier too. 

Have a plan ready; discuss it with the 

whole family. Be prepared! 

Cats often run away or hide during 

natural disasters, you may not be able to 

catch them at the time of evacuation. So 

ensure that they are microchipped and the 

details are up to date. The Christchurch 

earthquakes saw too many 

cats lost or displaced, 

microchipping maximises 

your chance of being 

reunited with them. 

If you also have livestock, have an 

evacuation plan for them too.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

A & P show cancelled 

Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and restrictions 

on mass gatherings, one of the Malvern district’s 

most iconic events will not go ahead this year. 

‘This is the first time the show has been cancelled 

since the war,’ says Malvern A&P Show president 

Richard Hill. The show was founded in 1899. 

The Malvern A & P Show is an annual favourite 

in the area and involves the tireless energy of a 

committee and an army of volunteers, who put in 

hours of work leading up to the event. 

“It’s a real shame,’ he says. ‘We had a lot of 

response from competitors asking not to cancel and 

we didn’t realise just how much the show meant to 

people – it was heart-warming to hear.’ 

However, two competitions will still go ahead 

– the gift fleece and the gift lamb – both these 

competitions provide the organisation with much 

needed revenue to help it remain viable. Mr Hill 

says the competitions don’t involve a lot of people 

and he is grateful for the support of farmers and the 

sponsorship for these two events. 

With 120 years behind the Malvern A & P Show, 

Mr Hill says it’s times like these that make people 

really appreciate what they did have and he expects 

next year will be even better supported for that very 

reason. 

“We can expect a bigger and better show next year.’ 

NOTE: The Oxford A & P Show is also 

cancelled for 2020 

Wheels & Wings fundraiser postponed 

The Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade’s 

Wheels & Wings planned for Sunday 

19th April, has been postponed due to 

concerns over the spread of Covid 19 

Coronavirus. It is hoped this event may 

run later this year. 

The first Wheels & Wings held in 

2008, was so popular it became a biannual 

event. The idea had grown out of 

a suggestion by Nev Croy for an ‘All A 

Day’ for Australian and American cars. 

As with any good brainstorming, Charlie 

Draper proposed including aeroplanes 

and the district’s very own Wheels & 

Wings became a reality. 

Over the years, Wheels & Wings has 

been a great family day out, featuring 

a diverse line-up of vintage to modern 

aircraft and motor 

vehicles. On display 

have also been 

motorcycles, tractors, 

light trucks, model 

aeroplanes, microlights 

and more, from the 

unique to the unusual, 

along with exhibits and 

stalls. 

This year would have 

been the seventh time in 

fourteen years, Wheels 

& Wings has been run by the Sheffield 

Volunteer Fire Brigade; a fundraiser 

which allows the purchase of additional 

equipment like their smoke chaser. 

After each event, the Sheffield 

Volunteer Fire Brigade has also 

made generous donations to St John 

Ambulance Malvern, while other local 

organisations like schools, sports clubs 

and the Malvern Lions have benefitted 

from donations or the opportunity to 

raise money. 

The officers and members of the 

Sheffield Volunteer Fire Brigade are 

disappointed to have had to postpone 

this year’s Wheels & Wings. They wish 

to thank everyone who has provided 

support in 2020 or in previous years they 

have run this event.

MOTORCARE PROFESSIONALS 

Returning the sheen to metal 

If restoring a car or motorcycle, 

renovating your home or you just like 

your vehicle to look its best, there may 

be a need for some metal polishing or 

sandblasting. Dull or scratched stainless 

steel, corroded chrome, or tarnished brass 

can all be brought back to life again. 

With over 45 years in the industry, 

Eric and Fred Williams have masses 

of knowledge, skill and experience in 

this specialised work. It is therefore not 

surprising, their business Escort Metal 

Polishers, is known for its high quality 

metal finishing and sandblasting. 

Almost any metal part on a car 

or motorcycle can be polished or 

sandblasted. Mag wheels are their 

specialty, along with manifolds, covers, 

pipes, alloy trims and stainless steel 

around a vehicle. All can be given a 

smoother, brighter finish. If your vehicle 

has had a scrape they can sort any 

damaged metal. 

Escort Metal Polishers also take care of 

re-chroming such as on bumpers or grills. 

Eric, Fred and the team at Escort Metal 

Polishers have worked on an extensive 

range of projects from automotive and 

marine to household items and large 

commercial projects. They truly are a 

one-stop shop, and not afraid to tackle 

any job from the one-off to large on-going 

projects. 

Along with customers who call by, their 

clientele includes engineers, building 

companies, automotive specialists, panel 

beaters, auto restorers and 

other businesses. 

“People come to us because 

we can easily and quickly 

take care of the whole job,” 

says Fred. 

Over the years they have 

abrasive blasted and polished 

countless mag wheels, vehicle 

parts and motorcycle frames; 

stripped down, polished and 

lacquered house lots of light 

and window fittings, as well 

as door handles; and worked 

on marine restoration 

projects. 

The team at Escort 

Metal Polishers worked on 

the canoe-like sculptures outside the 

Christchurch Art Gallery, many of the 

fittings in the new Christchurch Hospital 

and Christchurch Justice Precinct, and 

polished the brass kick plates, stair 

banisters, hand rails and other fixtures 

as part of the Christchurch Town Hall 

restoration. 

With a limited number of skilled 

polishers now operating, Escort Metal 

Polishers provides a valued service. The 

combined experience, knowledge and 

expertise of the team puts them ahead, 

assuring quality workmanship in metal 

polishing, abrasive-blasting and all facets 

of the job. 

They work hard to meet each and every 

customer’s requirements and timeframe, 

promising to turn your job around as 

quickly as they can. 

Sandblasting work is 

usually completed within 

two working days, metal 

polishing completed 

in about a week, and 

chrome plating sorted 

in approximately three 

weeks. 

If needing the services 

of Escort Metal Polishers, 

phone 366 2708, email 

escortmetalpolishers@ 

hotmail.com or call by

THE BEGINNING of the ‘changeover’ 

from summer to winter gardening has 

arrived. 

Autumn brings regular rainfall and 

a welcome reprieve from hot, dry 

temperatures for many areas around the 

country. 

Vegetable gardens 

Harvest your remaining summer crops 

and remove any plants that have finished 

cropping and pop them in the compost 

bin. Towards the end of the month, 

winter vegetables can be planted as either 

seedlings or seeds and include; beetroot, 

broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, 

cauliflower, carrots, lettuce, onions, 

radish, silverbeet, spinach, swedes and 

turnips. 

Replenish the soil with much needed 

nutrients by adding compost. Mix well 

with existing soil to a spade and a half 

depth. 

Remember to rotate where you will 

plant different vegetables compared to 

last year, and stagger plantings to provide 

continuous harvesting throughout the 

season. Protect your seedlings from snails 

and slugs and keep watering if there is a 

lack of rainfall.

gives plants a reprieve 

Flower gardens 

Sadly, most summer flowering annuals 

that thrive in the hot months are nearing 

the end of their lives. As temperatures 

cool towards the end of the month, begin 

planting out winter annuals like calendulas, 

nemesia, pansies, snapdragons and 

wallflowers. As with your vegetable garden, 

prepare the soil well and make sure there 

is enough drainage for the coming wet, 

winter conditions. 

Cut back any flowering perennials and 

plant any new seedlings where desired. 

March/April are the final months for 

planting out bulbs. Good preparation of 

soil is critical as many bulbs will not be

needed nutrients by adding compost. 

disturbed for a number of years so it’s 

worth giving them the best start. 

In general, bulbs thrive in an open, 

sunny position where the soil is well 

drained. Bulbs to plant include anemones, 

crocus, daffodils, freesias, hyacinth, iris, 

lachenalias, nerines, ranunculus, tulips and 

watsonias. Remember to mark where you 

plant them. 

Fruit trees and berries 

A number of pear and apple varieties 

are ready for harvesting this month, while 

the classic golden queen peach ripens 

in early march. Passionfruit are turning 

purple now, indicating they are ready for 

harvesting. 

Pull them directly off the vine or collect 

as they fall to the ground when ripe. 

Mandarins, lemons and oranges are now 

forming on citrus trees so keep watering 

consistently, mulch well and continue 

feeding with citrus fertiliser. Berry plants 

such as raspberries, can be safely pruned 

this month. 

Herb gardens 

Herbs can start looking a little tired this 

time of the year and many begin flowering 

and eventually ‘go to seed’. Cut back plants 

regularly or plant new specimens. Another 

option is to harvest, dry and then store 

herbs for use over the winter months. It’s a 

simple process and is very rewarding. 

Rose gardens 

Where roses have been well cared for 

over the summer months, you will be

rewarded with displays of blooms in March 

and April, and varieties such as iceberg will 

flower right into winter. Begin applications 

of rose fertilisers to rose bushes and dead 

head flowers regularly. Mulch with fresh 

compost. 

Lawns 

Even though we have had just a small 

amount of rain, work can now begin on 

renovating existing lawns or sowing a new 

one. Lawn fertiliser can be safely applied 

this week – make sure it is watered in 

well. Regular mowing can begin again to 

encourage strong, healthy grass growth. 

Shrubs and ornamentals 

Add compost around all existing 

shrubs and ornamentals. Hold off 

purchasing new plants until around May 

when new season specimens start arriving 

at garden centres.

Malvern Hills, in the Selwyn District. 

The application site has been nominated by the Applicant. It comprises all of 

Pt Lot 3 DP 6591 (CB24B/403, CB7D/1140) and portions of the following: Legal Road

Tara Stream/Wetland. 

The proposed hours of operation are 24 hours covering six days and five nights a 

week, with some restrictions and exceptions. The operation includes night-time 

lighting of the mine, establishment of buildings and signage, reworking and

and seldom available to purchase. Surprisingly, this 

modern lifestyle comes with an established garden 

and mature shelter. 

The sun-soaked living areas open seamlessly to 

the expansive patio that includes an outdoor fire 

and enough bench-seating to accommodate large 

gatherings of friends and family. 

Completing the setup is an extra-large six bay shed 

(two lockup bays with concrete floor). Everything on 

this property is immaculately presented including the 

paddocks, fencing and access lanes. 

Our owners have enjoyed their time here and they have 

loved establishing this remarkable lifestyle however they 

have made the difficult decision to leave. Having made 

that decision to sell their instructions are loud and clear. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to view one of the 

smartest and sensible lifestyle properties you will find. 

Call now or hasten to the next open home. 

Auction from 11am Friday 3 April 2020 (unless sold prior).

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Selwyn real estate teams up 

Well known real estate firm Property 

Brokers recently joined forces with the 

Farmlands’ real estate arm. The aim is to 

complement the residential and lifestyle 

sales, offering a more specialised Real 

Estate service to the farming community 

and people living in the towns throughout 

Selwyn. 

The long-term partnership arrangement 

has enabled Farmlands to tap into the 

expertise and systems of an established 

and recognised real estate identity. For 

Property Brokers, this strategic alliance 

has increased their reach and resources, 

ensuring even greater efficiency in serving 

their clientele. 

The merger of real estate services 

allows Property Brokers greater access to 

the rural market and offers the ability to promote 

through Farmlands’ regular marketing and 

networking programme. This reaches around 75,000 

shareholders, many of whom are local farmers. 

Farmlands will still offer a real estate service to 

the local farming community without the need to 

manage this aspect on a day to day basis. 

All Farmlands’ real estate staff have transferred 

to Property Brokers, ensuring client continuity 

while increasing the pool of knowledge, skill and 

resources; totalling twenty salespeople and nine 

support staff. 

“With greater resources and expertise, Property 

Brokers is an even more credible alternative for 

the Selwyn market. We have a team of committed 

and genuine people along with a more extensive 

nationwide network reaching more buyers. The 

potential is for even better results,” suggests Tony 

Quayle, Property Brokers’ Branch Manager Selwyn. 

Property Brokers’ Lincoln office 

The firm’s salespeople and support staff are based 

in four offices: Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and 

Rolleston allowing Property Brokers to be well 

placed to serve the people of Selwyn. The Darfield 

and Leeston offices are also supported by Farmlands 

stores in those towns. 

Tony says the changes are hugely exciting and 

along with a planned move for both their Darfield 

and Rolleston offices they have been quite busy. 

Property Brokers specialises in residential, 

lifestyle, rural and commercial property sales as 

well as property management. This translates to a 

wide network of services and market opportunity. 

They are a local business (not a franchise) with an 

emphasis on working as a team, where their people 

work where they live and support their community. 

“Everyone at Property Brokers is working towards 

the same goal and aiming to provide a 10 out of 10 

service. One of our core values is: if we shake your 

hand we mean it,” explains Tony.
