Fast food junkie’s
dramatic weight
loss
• By Devon Bolger
JULIET SHERRIFF used to spend
about $150 a week on takeaways. Now
she is 46kg lighter after using a mobile
phone app to lose weight.
At her heaviest, she was 115.3kg and
now two years later she is maintaining
her goal weight for the first time and
now weighs 69kg.
The 35-year-old said she was
always slim as a child, but after a
busy professional life had her eating
takeaways on the run for breakfast,
lunch and dinner, the weight soon
began to creep on.
“After my pregnancy, I got up to
a really high weight. It was hard
mentally, as I used to be so slim
growing up. I remember going to a
market and pulling open my wallet,
the stallholder saw my ID from when I
was slimmer and said: “Oh my God, is
that you?”
“This journey was never about what
other people thought of me, I wanted
to do this for me and do this for my
daughter, Zoey who is four, but that
really, really sucked to hear,” she said.
Sherriff said she started using the
myWW wellness app in 2018 and
was able to change her mindset and
embrace a more holistic approach to
her health. • Turn to page 4

Former
council
employee
back in
court
• By Devon Bolger
THE WAY has been cleared for a
community group to try and get
back about $18,500 stolen by a
former district council employee
they trusted.
Lisa Elaine Larkin, 51, will be
sentenced in the Christchurch
District Court in late October
after pleading guilty to two
charges of theft by a person in a
special relationship and one of
forgery with intent to obtain a
benefit.
Last week, Larkin abandoned
a legal bid in the district court
where she had intended to dispute
the amount it was claimed
had been stolen from Selwyn
SeniorNet’s bank account.
The former district council
community development adviser
was convicted in May of stealing
about $18,500 from the Selwyn
SeniorNet’s bank account.
The group says it has affected
their ability to help elderly in the
district.
Selwyn SeniorNet chairman
Terry Pierson said reparations
would be sought from Larkin
when she is sentenced on
October 28. • Turn to page 6

Maddie recovering
after removal of second transplanted kidney
• By Devon Bolger
WEST MELTON teenager
Maddie Collins has had her
second transplanted kidney
removed after her body rejected
it.
The 16-year-old is now reliant
on dialysis to keep her alive.
She has
been battling
the
kidney
disease,
nephrotic
syndrome
for several
years.
Sarah
Manson-Collins
Maddie’s
mother,
Sarah
Manson-Collins, said the kidney,
which was transplanted in
2018, was removed on July 28
following a steady decline in its
function.
“She has really improved with
the kidney gone, we don’t have
any temperatures anymore.
We just have the pain from the
surgery. I think it was the best
decision,” she said.
Manson-Collins said Maddie
now has to continue with fivehour
hemodialysis sessions three
times a week for the next month.
“We can’t use her peritoneal
dialysis tube for another month
because shes had surgery.
“It is a better treatment
because she can just hook
herself up overnight and
sleep while it’s happening and
disconnect herself from it in the
morning.”
The best way forward for
Maddie now is to have a period
of stability on overnight dialysis
before the search for another
transplant begins again, she said.

Maddie, the family still has
hope.
“We have a new paired exchange
programme between
New Zealand and Australia
now. There is starting to be more
awareness around people being
donors so as long as we can keep
pushing that message then we
have hope.”
Maddie received what was
termed a ‘miracle’ second kidney
transplant in 2018 after being
told there was only a two per
cent chance of finding a match in
New Zealand.
The first was donated six years
ago by her father Adam but her
body rejected it as well.
There have been a series of
ups and downs since the transplant.
In December last year the
declining function of the kidney
became clear through blood tests
showing high creatinine levels.
The family didn’t expect to be
able to find the second kidney
match and were planning a trip
to The John Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, United States, to find
one when they were notified an
organ had been found.

Arrests after
gate thefts
• By Devon Bolger
POLICE HAVE made a major
breakthrough over farm gate
thefts in the district, arresting a
man and a woman from Oxford.
A police patrol stopped a vehicle
in the Darfield area about 3.30am
last Wednesday which led to the
arrest of a 37-year-old woman
and a 38-year-old man. A large
number of stolen farm gates were
found on their property, said
Senior Sergeant Harker.
He said the gates were being
sold on social media.
The arrested pair will face a
number of charges in the Christchurch
District Court on August 24.
“It was the great work of
Constable Hamish Caird of the
Darfield Police that led to these
arrests.”
Police were patrolling the area
specifically looking for those
responsible for the gate thefts.
Harker said anyone who has
had gates stolen but have not
reported it should phone the Darfield
Police.
There have been about 20-30
incidents of gates and fencing being
stolen across Selwyn over the
last few weeks.
This includes seven incidents
over one weekend.

School options open for consultation
• By Devon Bolger
A SECOND Rolleston College
campus or entirely new school
are the options being considered
for future secondary school
education in the area.
The Canterbury National
Education Growth Plan 2030
predicts the area’s current high
school could reach its capacity of
1800 students by 2027/28. It currently
has 976 students.
It is anticipated an additional
600-800 secondary-aged students
will require access to a
local state school in the area by
2030.
It comes as the Ministry of
Education releases proposed
new primary school zones for
Rolleston.
The community will get a
chance to have their say on the
amendments.
“This will minimise the risk
of overcrowding at each school,
as well as determining the
enrolment scheme boundaries
for the new school in East
Rolleston when it opens in
2022,” it said in the consultation
document.
Public consultation is also
under way, through D & G Consulting,
on the options to ensure
future high-schoolers are catered
for in the area.
One of the options being
considered is a second Rolleston
College campus on a different
site.
“This second campus
would have the same
board of trustees and
management team. There
would also be a single vision
and identity for the
school,” the consultation
document says.
Different ways this option
could work are also
being considered including
students being separated into
junior and senior campuses.
Rolleston College principal
Rachel Skelton said she supports
the idea of a second campus.
“A second campus would allow
Rachel
Skelton
cohesion and avoid our town
being divided into two separate
zones.
“There are a number of
possibilities for the community
to consider in
terms of what that could
look like.”
The search area for a
potential site is in the
south of Rolleston, about
1.5-2km from the college.
A Ministry of Education
spokeswoman said
it was unable to provide detail on
the sites being considered at this
stage, so as not to prejudice or
disadvantage our ability to carry
out commercial negotiations.
The other option being

considered by the ministry is a
completely new high school.
“It would have its own
identity, own governance and
own uniform. The design of
such a school would be
developed with input from the
community.”
Public meetings have been
planned at Clearview School
on August 10 and 11, 7-8pm to
gather further feedback on the
issues.

Do you snore?
Always tired?
You may be at risk of sleep apnoea.
Wilsons Barrington Pharmacy
are making a difference to
their community by offering a
game changing sleep apnoea
service to reach the 80% of
undiagnosed obstructive sleep
apnoea (OSA) sufferers in
New Zealand.
There are a number of symptoms
that could be a sign of OSA,
including choking or gasping
for air at night, loud persistent
snoring, frequent visits to the
bathroom & waking up tired.
Left untreated these can lead
to long term health
consequences such as Type 2
diabetes, high blood pressure,
obesity and depression.
Fortunately it is now easy to get
diagnosed for OSA with Wilsons’
Pharmacy Sleep Services program.
People can now simply walk into
their pharmacy and get tested for
OSA straight away.
The overnight home sleep test
allows a person to sleep in the
comfort of their own bed. No doctor
referral is required. The results of
the home sleep test are assessed
by a sleep physician and provided
7-10 days later. If a person’s results
show they have OSA they can begin
a 4 week trial of CPAP therapy.
If you think you’re at risk of sleep
apnoea contact Wilsons Barrington
Pharmacy today to book a home
sleep test.

responds to pool closure claims
• By Devon Bolger
THE COMMITTEE responsible
for running the Halkett Pool
is rejecting claims that poor
management led to it breaching
pool water safety standards.
Last week Selwyn Times reported
the district council voted
to close the pool for the season as
well as consider permanent closure
under the Long Term Plan.
It is due to health and safety
concerns at the pool which
includes having 11 days in a row
of non-compliant water readings
in January.
A spokeswoman for the
Halkett Community Centre
Committee said: “Up until two
years ago we had no issues with
our pool, at which time the
council employed a new aquatic
centre manager and all of our issues
have started since then.”
The spokeswoman said the
district council installed a new
chemical dispenser two years ago
without consultation or notification.
“We were advised by the
aquatic manager that we were
REJECTED: The Halkett Pool has been closed due to health and safety concerns but the
committee which manages it has said that it is not their fault.
not to control or alter the new
dispenser as they would take
care of this and adjust as and if
required. They started our pump
and controller at the beginning
of our season and incorrectly set
the chlorine level at zero themselves.”
Active Selwyn manager James
Richmond said the committee
was in fact allowed to control the
dispenser.
“Operating it is part of the
day to day running of the pools,
done by the pool committees.
The controller committees are
informed that if there are issues
with the dispenser they are to
follow the supplied Pool Water
Risk Management Plan or contact
staff. Neither occurred in
this case.
“A staff member did turn on
the pool filtration and added
chlorine to the water at the
Halkett Pool last year, but did
not modify the controller as it requires
the chlorine to have been
in the pool for 24 hours first.”
One of the issues the district
council had with the committee
was that it had no members present
at a pool operations course
last year.
The committee spokeswoman
said: “We were not advised that
more than one person could
attend this course and due to
unforeseen last minute work
commitments at a busy time of
the year the committee member
could not attend, however, offered
to attend another course.
“Why did the council not run
this course earlier in the year
rather than leaving it till last minute
when pools were due to open?”
Richmond refutes this saying
all of the committees were
informed of the course five and a
half weeks beforehand and multiple
spaces were available.
“We did not receive a response
from the Halkett committee
until over a month later, after we
had sent them a reminder. Other
pool committees had already
booked, with one sending five
members to attend the course.”

Land could be set aside
for reserve in Lincoln
LAND NEAR the old
Lincoln Country Club
site has been set aside
and could become a
community reserve.
The district council was
considering subdividing
and selling the land around
and opposite the old club
on Millpond Lane, adjacent
to the LII River.
It had proposed subdividing
it into seven lots.
However, taking into
account feedback from the
community, it has agreed
to put five lots up for sale
on the northern side of the
property.
A district council spokesman
said the remaining two
lots will be considered for a
possible future reserve.
A report on the matter
will be presented to district
councillors at a later date.
KEEP WAR M THIS
WINTER WITH OUR HOT DEALS
PROJECT:
Lot numbers
six and
seven on
Millpond
Lane have
been set
aside by
the district
council for
a potential
future
reserve.
The next steps for the
project include appointing
real estate agents to sell the
five lots.
“Documentation is being
prepared to issue to real
estate agents for the sale of
the sections.”
The work is a part of a
plan for the district council
to sell some of its residential
sections over the next
three months.

How do you live the life you’ve always wanted?
There are many things to consider when
making the decision to move into a lifestyle
village. Everyone has different requirements,
whether it be a true community atmosphere
with an inclusive social scene, or be situated
in a new suburb where everything you need is
close by, or well-designed quality home which
supports and caters to all aging requirements..
Whatever your fancy, it’s rather easy to see
Woodcroft Estate as your new home. “Our
residents are better off in every way,” says
Manor Group CEO Adam Yates. “Here, they
enjoy a warm, safe and relaxing environment
within a friendly community, while the onsite
manager looks after any concerns or
maintenance issues. “All those jobs you had
to do to maintain your old house are taken
care of by the village staff.. “They manage any
repairs and maintenance to your home, looking
after the gardens and lawn mowing, providing
security, lighting and even washing windows.”
But there is something even more special
about Woodcroft Estate.
A model of home ownership that
benefits you more
“Our residents are better off financially”
says Adam. “Our Next Generation model is
designed to be much fairer than traditional
models, allowing residents to receive the
capital gain when the unit is sold, less a small
fee. Our aim is to free our residents from
their worries, while residents get the financial
freedom that comes from retaining and
building on their equity.”
The Next Generation Model gives you
options, enabling you to gift your chosen
charity or leave a legacy to your grandchildren
– contributing to their education, or
even their first home!
Life is for living
For those who have already made the move
to Woodcroft Estate – talk revolves excitedly
around the brand new Pavilion. Providing
a dynamic new social hub – there is much
discussion of quiz nights, dances, live music
and of course all kinds of exercise and craft
classes. Outside a new BBQ area will be just
the ticket for gathering in the sunshine.
At Woodcroft Estate – you become an integral
part of village life – contributing in ways you
WOODCROFT ESTATE

never thought possible in a lifestyle estate.
Woodcroft Estate residents have never
been happier – residing comfortably in the
fast growing and vibrant new township of
Rolleston – where a library and community
centre are close by. There is a swimming
pool and two medical centres, as well as two
supermarkets. There are even hearing and eye
specialists! Plenty of cafes to meet friends,
and delicious bakeries for that morning tea –
everything you need to feel right at home.

Successful
AGM for
hospital group
THE FRIENDS of Ellesmere
Hospital’s annual general
meeting was a success with local
and regional health experts in
attendance.
The meeting was held at the
Leeston Community Centre with
special guests including Win
MacDonald who is the rural hospitals
manager for the Canterbury
District Health Board and a number
of district councillors.
Group member Geoff Lill said:
“Councillor Grant Miller spoke
on behalf of the district council
and talked about the renewed
focus of the council on supporting
healthcare in the community.’’
The guest speaker was Mike
Hobbs who was, until his recent
retirement, the local GP in Leeston
for more than 40 years.
“He spoke of his close association
with the hospital as superintendent,
the importance of the hospital
services to our local community,
and some of the changes he had
seen over his time there.”

A GROUP from the Malvern
area are shaving their mullets
to raise money for the Motor
Neurone Disease Association
New Zealand.
Johnny Barnard, Finn Jacobs,
Tobi Moore, Ryan Thomas,
Todd Thomas, Cole Atutolu,
Jack Barnes, William Wilson
and Dylan Duffy are participating
in a shave-off event at the
Kirwee Rugby Club on Saturday.
Motor neurone disease causes
the death of nerve cells (neurones)
that control the muscles
enabling movement, speech,
swallowing and breathing. With
no nerves to activate them, these
muscles gradually weaken and
waste away.
Tobi came up with the initial
idea in memory of his, and
cousin Johnny’s, uncle George
Redmond who succumbed to
the disease earlier this year.
Finn was also interested in
participating as he lost his great
grandmother to MND as well.
The group is hoping to raise
between $5000 and $10,000.
“In memory of George Redmond
we invite the community
to help us raise funds to assist
those around the country battling
this incurable disease,”
organisers Jan Thomas and
Vanessa Moore said.
At present the group has
raised $4500.
“The group has numerous

TWO ROLLESTON Probus
clubs have celebrated significant

A special morning tea was held

Said Probus South Pacific New
Zealand representative Margaret
Drake: “Members were happy to
be meeting again after several
months of observing lockdown
restrictions. Several charter members
were in attendance.”
The Rolleston Central Club
celebrated its first birthday a

Anobium punctatum.
This wood-boring insect

Adults are brown in

Their presence is often

Week of celebrating
Selwyn’s diversity
Celebrations of Selwyn’s cultural diversity will expand this year with CultureFest kicking off a
week of new events.
The ever popular CultureFest, which draws thousands of people each year, will mark the start of
the new Culture Week from 18–24 October.
has been increasing demand for and interest expressed in workshops and displays that
showcase traditional sports, dancing and music of different cultures. The Council and Lincoln
University, who have partnered previously to deliver CultureFest, with a range of other cultural
groups and clubs, have worked together to set up this new week.
The success of CultureFest and the workshops that have taken place as well as the interest
we have been receiving, suggest there is space in the community for a bigger celebration, that
supports strong community club and group participation , Council Group Manager Community
Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says.
“Having Culture Week allows us to build on the huge success of CultureFest, offering
opportunities to grow our knowledge of the many different, vibrant cultures that make up our
people here in Selwyn. It’s an opportunity for people who haven’t been able to take part in
CultureFest, as well as giving popular workshops a chance to go deeper and give people a
richer flavour of their heritage.”
The Council is now taking expressions of interest from people wanting to be involved in
CultureFest and the wider Culture Week. Any individual, club or group interested in performing
on stage or being a stallholder at CultureFest, or running a workshop, during Culture Week can
find a form at selwyn.govt.nz/cultureweek.

Rates accounts and
payment options
Rates invoices for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 September
2020 should have arrived in your letterboxes or inboxes.
You can check out the changes in your rates, by visiting
selwyn.govt.nz/rates and clicking on property search.
If you pay by direct debit you will receive information on
your new direct debit in a separate letter. If you’re on direct
debit then, as long as you have sufficient funds in your bank
account to cover the payments on the due dates, you will not
be charged penalties.
For ratepayers not on a direct debit, rates are payable in four
instalments – 15 September, 15 December, 15 March and 15
June. Penalties are charged on instalments not paid in full by
the due dates and there is a further penalty if rates are not
paid by 30 June.
Your rates invoice details the rates assessed for your
property for both the Council and Environment Canterbury.
The Council assesses a general rate, based on your
property’s capital value, district-wide targeted rates, plus
other targeted rates based on where you live, or the services
you receive. We also act as agent for the collection of
Environment Canterbury rates within Selwyn district.
The average rates increase for the 2020/21 year is 1.6%,
however this will vary for individual properties. Rates take
account of capital values, as well any changes to your
property, for example if you have built a house on your
section, or if you have changed your wheelie bins.
Ratepayers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can
apply for a rates payment extension, which is available for
2020/21 rates.
For more information about rates, including forms, payment
options and extensions, visit selwyn.govt.nz/rates or phone
0800 SELWYN (735 996).
Apply for a
rates rebate
Ratepayers who are on a low income and who pay rates
on the property they live in may be eligible for a rates
rebate.
If your gross household income to 31 March 2020 was
$26,150 or less, and you pay rates on the property where
you live, you may qualify for a rebate. If your income was
more than this, you may still be eligible, depending on the
total cost of your rates and the number of dependents in
your family.
To find out if you are eligible for a rates rebate, and to
download forms, visit ratesrebates.govt.nz. Forms are
also available from Council service centres.
If you received a rates rebate last year you will
automatically be sent an application form.
To apply, you will need to provide accurate details and
copies of your gross income, and that of any partner/
spouse/joint homeowner who lives with you, for the tax
year ended 31 March 2020.
You can apply for your rebate at any Council service centre.

Southbridge gets a
fright from Prebbleton
PREBBLETON signalled it
could be the giant killer in
the Coleman Shield when
they went down narrowly
to competition pace-setter
Southbridge 20-23 at
Prebbleton on Saturday.
Southbridge has swept
all before it this season,
winning seven from seven.
But on Saturday Prebbleton
played above themselves,
exposing a few chinks in
the Southbridge armour on
the way.
In other matches Waihora
thrashed West Melton
38-0, Darfield accounted
for Springston 34-14 and
Lincoln beat Hornby 38-22,
which remains winless.
This weekend Prebbleton
should get a guide to their
fortunes for the rest of
the season against the
second best team in the
competition, Waihora,

FOCUS FOR
FUTURE
The Focus for Future -
Selwyn Environmental Film
Competition was ‘launched’
in May for those who might
want to start thinking about
their production as we
experienced various levels
of lockdown. At the time we
thought that we may even be
looking at a “zoom” awards
evening. We are very happy
that with New Zealand’s rapid
return to normality, it looks
as if we will be again enjoying
the Oscar like awards evening
in September.
Logan Edwards receives the 2019 Kea Trophy
on behalf of his production team from
Courtney Sheat from the Rata Foundation
Invitations were sent out to schools and to others who might be interested in making
a short film about their environmental concerns. In the past we have seen some
amazingly creative and thought provoking productions and tremendous effort made by
people of all ages to showcase their ideas about our world.
There is still plenty of time left to plan and produce a film. People are also welcome to
enter films they have previously made as long as they fit the criteria.
In the past, the Awards Evening has always been an exciting event. Young and old
enjoy watching all the short films before hearing from the judges. All film makers are
presented with worthwhile prizes and there are special prizes for different categories,
and for the winners of the Kea Trophy.
All details of the competition, previous entries and the Awards’ Night
in September, can be found on Eventbrite, or Lincoln Envirotown’s

It’s not too early to plan for summer
DEPENDING ON the weather
in a particular year, August
can either feel like the depth of
winter or the first hint of spring.
Flowering annuals, camellias,
rhododendrons and cherry trees
brighten up gardens in this cold
month. It’s an excellent time for
planning your summer garden.
Fruit trees
Harvest time for citrus coming
in warm, sheltered sites; late
mandarins, lemons, limes, navel
oranges and grapefruit.
Spray pip and stone fruit trees
with a final application of a
copper compound before new
season growth appears. This will
also help prevent the outbreak of
fungal diseases in spring.
Feijoas can be ‘thinned out’
now. These trees respond to careful
pruning so they will produce
more regular crops each year.
Named variety feijoas eg Apollo
are cutting grown, producing a
more open, large bush.
The traditional seedling grown
feijoas are very dense growth
habit. Remove any inward growing
branches and where branches
overlap. Maintain the ultimate
height of the feijoas at 2.5-3m
to allow for easier care of the
tree while ensuring more than

Young plants are now in active

Ride-on electric
mowing a reality
Pure education is a big part of the job
for Bruce Scott from Mean Green Mowers
and that makes sense when introducing
new technology to the market place.
“People often have the image of a small
mower with a power cord hanging out the
side, and the odd jaw does drop when I
tell them we have mowers with a 74 inch
(1.88m) deck that can mow for up to eight
hours continuously.”
Uptake of the Mean Green brand has
been encouraging in New Zealand, with
mowers operating from Kerikeri to
Invercargill. Most large contractors have
a machine, as do many councils. One
contractor uses a couple of Mean Green
machines to mow Lincoln University
where low-noise operation is really
appreciated.
“I mow our lifestyle property in Tai Tapu
with a Nemesis 48 inch machine, and I
always tell my partner I’m off to mow the
lawns. She can’t hear the mower operating
from inside, so if I disappear I want to
avoid accusations that I slipped off down
to the pub,” says Bruce.
The mowers operate at less than half
the noise levels of petrol mowers so you
won’t bother the neighbours mowing on a
Sunday morning.
Imported from the United States Mean
Green mowers are extremely well built
and have plenty of instant mowing power
available at the flick of a switch
When considering the purchase of an
electric mower, Bruce says it is important
to have a close look at the numbers. A
petrol machine could cost up to $16,250
over a 10-year period on fuel alone. So
this number needs to be added to the
purchase price of a standard mower to
compare apples with apples and it is an
even wider gap when taking into account
the low maintenance requirements of
electric machines.
“Everyone’s situation is different so I
encourage clients to call for a chat. And,
pop up and see a machine, we’re just in
Tai Tapu.”
For more information contact Bruce
either by phone on 027 223 0054 or
email him at bruce@meangreenmowers.

Farm vehicle maintenance saves
Farm vehicles can get a hard life,
being driven around the paddocks and
over rough roads. With so much work
to be done on the farm their regular
maintenance can get overlooked.
The effect of ignoring regular motor
vehicle servicing is more serious issues
can arise, resulting in costly repairs, which
might otherwise have been avoided. A
reliable vehicle also means you’re not
stranded on a country road or the back
paddocks of the farm.
Vehicle servicing should be carried out
every 5,000-10,000 kilometres, whether
a newer or older model, and by a reliable
and competent specialist in automotive
repairs. Regular servicing ensures a
vehicle is roadworthy between Warrant
of Fitness checks. This is important no
matter what the age of the vehicle, as even
new vehicles can breakdown.
Simon, Hayden and Vince at Rolleston
Diesel & Petrols take care of a lot of farm
utes, 4WD’s, farm bikes and the odd
tractor, as well as the family car. They have
considerable experience and expertise in
automotive servicing and repairs.
“Two problems we regularly see
occurring, is vehicle maintenance being
overlooked and where the farm’s fuel
supply has become contaminated. This
can lead to poor vehicle performance,
black smoke belching out, high fuel
usage and potential breakdowns,” advises
Simon, owner of Rolleston Diesel &
Petrols.
If you are having problems with any of
your vehicles, it may well be worth having
a chat to one of the team at Rolleston
Diesel & Petrols. They are only too keen
to help. You can be assured they will
offer honest advice on the state of your
motor vehicle. Whether there is a noise
coming from under the bonnet, a smell of
oil, tyres looking suspiciously worn, or a
battery which is slow to start, sorting any
problem early may avoid being without
the vehicle for a period of time, as well
as the cost of any necessary repairs. It
will also help ensure the vehicle is safe to
drive.
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols is wellequipped
with sophisticated diagnostic
equipment, and they only use reliable
quality components, oils and original
specifically manufactured equipment
parts.
“I believe in regular vehicle maintenance
and carrying out proper repairs, using
parts which will last,” says Simon.
Whether a ute, 4WD, car, van, light
commercial (up to 12 ton), motorhome,
bus, motorcycle, jet ski, boat, horse
float or ride-on lawnmower, the team at
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols will service and
repair it, as well as take care of any WOF
checks when due.
As a member of the Motor Trade
Association you are assured quality
workmanship at this locally owned and
operated business where locals look after
the people of Selwyn.

Canterbury Fonterra’s
best big site
In its 14th year the Fonterra Best
Site Cups celebrate the best in
manufacturing.
Canterbury is now home to Fonterra’s
best big Site following the ‘Oscars of
Manufacturing’, Fonterra’s best site
cup awards. Darfield picked up the
hotly contested award ahead of the 25
other Fonterra
manufacturing sites
throughout the
country.
Darfield site is
starting to ramp
back up after winter
shut so it was great
for the teams to come together, virtually
this year, to celebrate the year that’s been.
The site had a great year making
progress against their goals. One of those
is the target set by the Co-op last year to
reduce water use by 30% by 2030.
Harriet Van Genne-Knape, General
Manager of operations at Darfield says,
“We are very proud of this result and
the awesome recognition for our entire
Darfield team. Everything came together
quite nicely in FY20 for us. We had
a clear vision, strategy, set ourselves
ambitious targets and we passionately
worked hard on these every day.
“I think the key to our success is that
we strongly believed that we could do it
and that we followed the Darfield way of
doing things which is sometimes a little
bit different. We are always focussed on
how we could do things better, and all of
you have worked tirelessly over a number
of years to be rewarded with this result.”
Fonterra’s Darfield site employs
more than 280 people from around
Canterbury, all of them work to turn
Fonterra farmers milk into milk powder
and cream cheese that ends up in more
than 40 markets around the world.
Fonterra’s manufacturing sites employ
close to 7,000 people throughout
the country in a range of roles from
factory processors to tanker operators,
food safety and quality experts and
environmental managers, all of them
working to turn farmers milk into
products that end up in more than 140
countries around the world.

Feisty yet frugal Volvo station wagon
VOLVO HAS HAD a long and
notable motorsport heritage.
I became familiar with some
of that during my many visits to
Wellington to watch the Nissan
Mobil 500 street race in the late
80s and early 90s. While the
Volvo T5 wagon looked a little
out of place on the race track,
it certainly had speed, and it
clocked up much success globally,
especially in European touring
car championship races.
The T5 had a square, boxy
shape that earned it the nickname
Swedish taxi, but the point is it
was amazingly successful, and
when I first drove it in road going
form in 2004 I was blown away
with its power and performance.
Since then Volvo has marketed
many fine wagons and has
impressed with its power plants,
feisty engines which also double
as being frugal.
Enter 2020 and another Volvo
wagon has landed – the V60 T8
R-Design, another very quick
station wagon, yet also amazes
with its 2l/100km combined cycle
fuel usage claim.
That’s down to hybrid
technology, today’s V60 has a
turbocharged and supercharged
four-cylinder petrol engine. The
1969cc unit develops a hearty
246kW and 430Nm, if that’s not
enough, add into the equation
a rear-mounted electric engine
which adds 65kW and 240Nm,
it’s no surprise then the V60 is
swift when the accelerator is
given a nudge.
Volvo claims a 4.5sec standstill
to 100km/h acceleration time,
that’s quick, and what’s more,
the V60 feels fast, it is fully
responsive and delivers in a fluid,
decisive manner, typical of both
turbocharging and supercharging
techniques.
While its performance is every
bit as exciting as its predecessors,
it must be remembered that
hybrid technology is there for
a reason, and in this age where
caring for the environment has
become a major priority, the V60
also addresses that with plug-in
electric storage capability. The
system isn’t as generous as you
would get from a fully electric
vehicle, but it definitely has
purpose.
Volvo also claims and electric
range of around 30-40km,
which would satisfy for a daily
commute; however, there’s no
driver-selectable EV mode,
what happens is that the V60
VOLVO V60 T8: Hybrid system allows up to 30km of
motoring on one charge.
will happily run all the time on
electric power only, but if you
are forceful with the throttle the
engine will burst into life and give
you immediate acceleration.
I was determined to allow
the V60 to work electrically for my
commute, it does so willingly, but
there were a couple of times when
keeping pace with traffic meant
petrol power cut in, however, the
end result is that massive fuel
savings can be achieved.
During my time in the
evaluation car the fuel usage
displays were listing between
3-4l/100km with 2.2l/100km
showing instantaneously at
100km/h, the engine turning
over well below 2000rpm in
eighth gear. Yes, the V60 has
a traditional torque converter
gearbox and, as you would
expect in a luxury car, the
transition of ratios is almost
seamless.
You need no special technique
to drive the V60, it is very
orthodox and is built with
the sophistication we have
come to expect from this great
Scandinavian car maker. It also
gets a five-star safety rating, no
surprises there, Volvo is sold
universally as being one of the
world’s safest car manufacturers.
I’ve made no secret over the years
of my affection for the traditional
station wagon, and the V60 really
appeals to me. In practical terms,
the rear cargo section can hold
up to 529-litres and loading it is
far from a chore, the ride height
is at an easy level for lifting the
groceries out of the supermarket
trolley and into the vehicle. That
load space doesn’t compromise the
rear seating area either, the V60 is
comfortable and spacious.
On the road it is quiet and
extremely comfortable, the spring
and damper rates are biased
towards comfort, which is no
surprise, the V60 is a true touring

car and it needs to cocoon the
occupants.
It gets a load of kit for its
$114,900 price tag (evaluation
car $121,400). The controls are
laid out for ease of use, many
functions are operated through a
large central touch screen display,
which is very intuitive.
Two Star Media employees
drive Volvos. I’m always being
reminded of the safety criteria
which influenced the decision
to buy into the brand. Nothing
has changed, Volvo has set the
benchmark in this area, and
when you are inside the car you
feel that quality build.
The V60 is a remarkable car
in terms of what it represents, its
speed puts it most definitely in
the performance car category, but
it is also a thrifty fuel miser. Add
in the wagon effect and you’ve got
many cars in one.
That’s just as you would expect
from Volvo, it is something just
that little bit different all round,
but spectacular nonetheless.

Authorised by Dianna Lacy, 160 Willis Street, Wellington.
Hello
I’m Reuben Davidson and it’s my privilege to be your Labour candidate for Selwyn.
I am asking for your support to elect me as your Member of Parliament to be Selwyn’s voice
in Wellington.
Canterbury born and bred and proud of it — over the past twenty years I’ve worked hard as a
producer in television and more recently as a Community Board Member for Banks Peninsula.
Now I want to work hard for you.
Our nation’s response to COVID-19 has been outstanding but there are still challenges ahead.
Together our team of five million can work to recover and rebuild for a smarter, safer even better
New Zealand. With the leadership of Jacinda Ardern, Labour has the plan to protect local families
and jobs by backing our businesses and supporting our local industries.
As your candidate I am keen to hear from you. I’m in the electorate and available to catch up
anytime or meet you at one of our street corner meetings. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you
Reuben Davidson
Labour Party candidate for Selwyn

SELWYN TIMES
Labour in Selwyn
Supporting Farmers
Our farming sector drives our local and
national economy. Labour created the
Primary Sector Council, a group
of farming, agribusiness and export
leaders to represent the needs of this
vital industry. Recently they have
launched Te Taiao, a world leading
initiative that bridges the gap between
protecting our environment and
growing our rural economy.
The initiative’s aim is that the industry
can work as one to make best use of
our resources and sustain our
prosperity, ensuring skilled jobs
for our local Selwyn economy.
Keeping People Working
The Wage Subsidy Scheme is part of
our government’s response to the
immediate and mid-term challenges
presented by COVID-19.
Businesses in Canterbury have reported
the Wage Subsidy having the highest
positive impact, enabling them to keep
people in work.
The uptake across Canterbury and
Selwyn has been high, and has allowed
many local small businesses to continue
trading through challenging times.
Boosting Connectivity
The rural communities of Selwyn
need better broadband connectivity.
In Government, Labour has made it a
priority to upgrade mobile towers in
places like Southbridge and Windwhistle
that have high numbers of school-age
children living in households without
internet access.
COVID-19 has shown us the importance
of being digitally connected, allowing
people to work and learn from home and
eliminating our black spots for essential
services.
Gebbies Valley was recently the 100th
4G Cell Tower site in this scheme. The
second phase of our plan will continue to
boost connectivity across remote rural
areas like Selwyn.

Funding Darfield Fire Station
A recent funding boost of $1 million will
fast-track construction of the Darfield
Fire Station expansion.
This important local investment will bring
urban and rural services together and
provide a co-located hub for fire and
emergency response services in Darfield
for the surrounding areas.
This is a direct investment into an
important local lifeline and continues
work in keeping our community safe.
Empowering our Community
The Resource Management Act (RMA)
is the framework legislation to guide local
Councils on rules for resource use and
environmental controls.
Selwyn has recently been in the news with
regards to the new Roydon Quarry near
homes in Templeton, and the toxic waste
treatment plant on Prebbleton’s doorstep.
Under the National government, the
community was locked out of decisions
and had their views ignored. Labour is
working to reinstate this fundamental
community voice into decisions that
affect you. Our team are committed
to repealing and replacing the RMA
to ensure greater local community
involvement to deliver better
environmental outcomes.
Investing in our Future
Investing in Research and Development
is vital to maintain our position as world
leaders in innovative and sustainable
farming practice.
I’m really proud that we’ve recently made
a $45 million investment into a fit-forfuture
scientific research facility at Ag
Research in Lincoln. The build will be a
boost to the Selwyn economy, a future
asset for Lincoln and provide a centre of
excellence for land-based science and
farming research.
It is vital that we back our brightest
thinking to ensure our primary industries
can innovate and thrive in Selwyn.
Let’s keep moving

I care deeply about people. I am born and bred in Canterbury surrounded by a large supportive family, and received
an excellent education enabling me to work in a job I love.
I’ve worked my way up the ranks of television production in New Zealand, starting with making coffee. I’ve
production-managed lifestyle and magazine shows for Television New Zealand and worked as a Creator and
Series Producer for New Zealand’s largest children’s production company — always with an eye to increasing
opportunities for business and jobs in Canterbury.
As an elected Community Board member for Banks Peninsula (which until recently overlapped Selwyn) I value how
much our local rural communities contribute to the national economy and have seen how they can be best served
and supported.
It would be my honour to serve you as the Labour MP for Selwyn.
Your vote matters — choose two ticks for Labour to keep Selwyn moving forward.

Get your home noticed
It takes more than good photography to help sell a
home. You’ll want your home to look attractive and
appealing for a potential home buyer so check out
these following tips to get your home ready for
real estate photography and open homes...
• First impressions count: Clear away shoes, coats and other items to make your
front entrance look clean and welcoming.
• Create natural light: Open all curtains and/or blinds; turn on lights for open
home days.
• Keep it clean: A clean house and well cared for section will be far more
appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs; shine the taps; polish the windows and
doorknobs; wash and vacuum the floors.
• Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking and living smells to linger – open windows
daily, display a vase of sweet smelling flowers, and if need be an occasional spray
with a can of air freshener. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder what you
are trying to cover up.
• De-clutter every room: This is the most important. Clean counters, tables,
coffee tables and wall units. Clutter really attracts the eye and takes away from the
beauty of the home.
• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all unnecessary items; keep the benches clean and
clear; remove all used tea towels and dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the
dining table.
• Bathroom: We all have clutter in the bathroom – toothbrushes, creams,
toothpaste etc. Before the photographer arrives (or potential buyers) put all the
clutter into a small box, which can easily be stored out of sight. Place clean colour
co-ordinated towels, neatly folded, onto the towel rail.
• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated bedcovers and linen; plump up your pillows;
straighten the valance; put all clothing and person items out of sight.
• Office: It’s often hard to keep this room perfectly tidy but try to keep it as orderly
as possible.
• Keep corners free of clutter: This helps make a room look bigger and therefore
more spacious.
• Make your room look bigger: rearrange furniture to create more floor space.
• Add colour: If your house is neutral in colour, try adding small touches of colour
with fresh flowers. Another quick color fix is to use cushions but don’t go overboard.
Red works well against neutral backgrounds as do bright blues and greens. Just
remember to keep it minimal, pick one colour per room, and it will work.
• Move toys out of living areas: Keep them in the rumpus room or the children’s
bedrooms.
• Boxes or small storage units: Stack them in one area or the spare bedroom.
Better not to take a picture of the spare bedroom than have boxes or storage
boxes in each room. Better yet – stack them against one wall and this way the
photographer can avoid that wall when taking the picture.
• Check your cords, cables and wires: Tuck and hide those cords away or simply
unplug them.
• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective buyers don’t want pets leaping at them
or they may be even allergic to pet hair, so keep them out of sight or away for
photography and open home days.
• Clean up your section and garage: Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded, hoses
and wheelbarrow stored out of sight; take excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your
garage to look as spacious and orderly as possible.
Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder
what you are trying to cover up.

Snuggle down
When it comes to home heating, ‘bang
for your buck’ is essential and part of
this is ensuring your home is adequately
insulated. Did you know that a 2% gap
in insulation can result in a 20% heat
loss? This can make a huge difference to
the comfort of your home.
Insulation works by slowing heat
loss from your home, enclosing it in a
thermal envelope. This is why around
40% of heat is lost through the ceiling in
the average uninsulated home.
In addition to insulation, simple
measures, such as using thermal
curtains and sealing gaps and cracks,
will eliminate draughts and prevent
warm air escaping where it shouldn’t.
It also pays to remember that heating
a room to a moderate constant
temperature is much more efficient than
a fluctuating heat.
Designed to not only be practical and
functional but to enhance the décor
of your home, there is a home-heating
option for every home, and everyone.
GAS FIRES
Providing fast, convenient and
easily regulated heat, gas can bring
a moderate-size room to a warm,
comfortable temperature in about 10-15
minutes. Glass-fronted gas fireplaces
are significantly more efficient than
open-fronted ones, and as gas fires
are cleaner than wood-burning fires
they are favoured in clean-air areas,
making this a popular heating option in
Christchurch.
Like other heating options, most
modern gas fires have a timer facility.
HEAT PUMPS
Heat pumps come in a variety of
options: high-wall, floor consoles,
slimline, quiet ... the list goes on,
ensuring there is a design, size and
placement to suit your needs.
Be smart about your energy use and
ensure you have the right size heat pump
for your space. If you pick one that is
too small, it will have to work hard all
the time, and will use more power than
necessary. A unit that is the right size
should heat your space in 5-15 minutes.
DUCTED AIR CONDITIONING
Ducted air conditioning systems work
exactly the same way as a high-wall heat
pump, in that there is an indoor unit
and an outdoor unit, and by passing a
refrigerant between them they transfer
heat (or cooling) into a room.
Unlike the high-wall system, where
the indoor unit is visible, the ducted
indoor unit is hidden away in the ceiling
space and uses flexible ducts to pass the
heat from room to room through vents
in the ceiling, wall or floor.
CENTRAL HEATING
Growing in popularity in New Zealand,
warm-water central heating is the
even distribution of heat throughout
the home from a central point or heat
source. Warm water is distributed via a
network of pipes connected to radiators
in each room, or looped under the floor
for underfloor heating. Releasing a gentle
heat, no water is actually consumed,
ensuring this is the ultimate in efficiency.
HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
Home heating isn’t just about keeping
the house warm; it’s also about
maintaining a healthy home. In the
summer months we are able to throw
open the windows to air the house, an
option not available in cooler weather,
meaning condensation is often an
unhealthy side effect of winter. The
installation of an effective heat-recovery
or ventilation system can help solve
this problem, thereby working towards
creating a warmer, drier and, above all,
healthier living environment.
WOOD BURNERS
When used properly, wood burners
are a great and economical option,
especially if you have access to free or
cheap firewood. You do, however, need
to ensure your fire is clean-air approved,
especially in Canterbury. When buying
a wood fire, consider efficiency rating,
clean burn, emission levels and size.
PELLET BURNERS
Pellet fires have come a long way in
recent years and most are now available
as free-standing or inbuilt, offering a
wider variety when it comes to selecting
the right look for your space.
There are many benefits to a pellet
burner as they offer all the warmth and
luxury of a flame without the hassle of
cutting, carrying and storing firewood.
Made from sawmill waste, the pellets are
carbon-neutral and burn cleanly.
One of the biggest limitations is the
initial cost, with the price of buying and
installing a pellet burner greater than
that of a conventional wood burner. The
burner also relies on electricity so won’t
work during a power cut.

Now is the perfect time
to buy and sell property
If you’re looking for real estate, location
and value are everything. Now is the
perfect time to get into the Christchurch
and Canterbury property market.
Great value for money, better
transport connections, and an easing
in lending restrictions all spell for a
bright future for the city and region,
says Harcourts Four Seasons franchise
owner James Twiss.
“We are really excited that our markets
are active and attractive. The value
opportunity is just outstanding.”
The city and region are a great place
to live, work, and play, with beaches,
forests, and mountains and ski-fields all
within easy reach, as well as a dynamic
urban centre.
Canterbury and Christchurch are a stable
real estate market, offering excellent
buying opportunities—for both new
and established homes—compared with
Auckland and Wellington.
The current market is attracting Kiwis
returning home from overseas, as well
as local buyers keen to find good value
property, and Auckland investors.
Investment in better transport
will benefit the entire region. The
Northern Corridor, which includes the
Cranford Basin bypass, will bring the
city closer to town.
“Kaiapoi is extremely good value, even
now, and will form part of the city,” says
Twiss. “Subdivision land is available,
new buildings are good value, but also
established property, and three and four
bedrooms are well within reach.”
The Southern Motorway extension will
likewise benefit Rolleston and Lincoln,
to the south of Christchurch. Rolleston
is predicted to grow by another 5,000
people in the next six years.
“Access to jobs in the city and Lyttelton
make these locations unbelievably good
value. It’s good firm ground, postearthquake
build.”
It’s now got easier to buy a new house,
thanks to a change in the lending rules.
LVR (Loan to Value Restrictions) are down
to 70 to 80 per cent. “That has created an
even better opportunity for first home
buyers and those looking for good buying
opportunities.”
A shortage of rentals benefits vendors
and investors. “We have seen quite
a few Auckland buyers coming into
town,” says Twiss. “Average Auckland
properties are $1 million. You can access
10 per cent of that for investment. You
have got the ability to buy a decent
rental property.”
Twiss says buyers can have confidence
in the Harcourts brand, which has
been Reader’s Digest’s
most trusted brand
for the eighth year
running. Harcourts
Four Seasons has over
30 years’ experience in
Christchurch real estate.
“We say we’ve got you
covered. Four Seasons
are your local office. We
live local, we support our
local communities, we sell
local and we understand
the local and Canterbury
market. We can attract the
most buyers and therefore
get the most for people’s
properties.”
Harcourts Four Seasons
is the largest real estate
business in Selwyn and
the Waimakariri, with
over 90 sales consultants
operating eight branches:
in Rolleston, Lincoln,
Hornby, Belfast, The
Palms, Kaiapoi, Rangiora,
and Hanmer Springs.
The company also has international
reach. With a trend for ex-pat Kiwis
showing an interest in returning home,
Harcourts has the international network
to help make the transaction smoother.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
Showhome a candidate for
Master Builders’ Award
A new showhome in Rolleston by
Clark Bros Construction, is set to
impress judges in this year’s Master
Builders’ Awards. It has certainly
been impressing those who have been
visiting the home.
Clark Bros Construction was
established in 2014 by brothers,
Jarryd and Shannon Clark who take a
hands-on approach to their business,
working with clients and managing
each project, to ensure a smooth and
timely build.
Jarryd says quality is an essential
ingredient and this is evident in their
showhome at The Borough. The
267sqm, 4-bedroom home impresses
from the moment
you walk through the
door. Its warmth begs
you to linger.
A cathedral ceiling
gives the separate
lounge something
extra. A swing glass
door connects this
room to the kitchen,
dining and living
space. A double
sided gas fire serves
both lounge and
living areas, adding
ambience while
ensuring cosy living. A box seat
directly under the fire on the kitchen
side, offers a charming spot to relax,
or sit and chat with those in the
kitchen.
From the large living room, double
stacking sliders open onto a large
north-facing hardwood deck, making
the home perfect for a family or when
entertaining. Large windows ensure a
bright sunny home year round.
The kitchen is generous both in
size and cupboard space. A walk-in
butler’s pantry is tucked in behind.
This has a sink and space for a wide
refrigerator. Not often seen, is the
switching of the sink and cooktop.
A new showhome
in Rolleston
by Clark Bros
Construction, is
set to impress
judges in this
year’s Master
Builders’ Awards.
The latter, an induction hob is
mounted in the centre island with
built-in rangehood overhead. There
is a built-in dishwasher and quality
Electrolux appliances. In the lounge
and kitchen, there are solar remote
controlled opening Velux skylights
with fitted blinds.
One passes through a wide study
nook when accessing the hallway
from the living zone; an area which
might easily serve as a home office.
All bedrooms in the home are
doubles. The master bedroom has
a larger than usual walk-in robe
with fitted cabinetry. There is also a
luxurious, roomy ensuite with doublebowl
wood hanging
vanity, generous
fully tiled shower
and separated toilet.
Lighting illuminates
a tiled feature wall in
the shower itself.
Both bathrooms
have underfloor
heating. The main
bathroom has a
hanging wood vanity
with white bowl,
freestanding black
and white bath with
tiled feature wall and
fully tiled shower. There is also a small
washbasin in the separate toilet.
Built-in joinery with space for
under-bench washer and dryer can
be found in the separate laundry,
along with ample storage in the large
walk-in storeroom (in the hall) and
attic storage trusses in the 6.5x6 metre
garage.
The home’s external cladding is a
fully vented plaster panel system with
cedar and classic stone features. The
roof has long-run corrugated iron.
Clark Bros Construction’s The
Borough showhome is open Saturdays
and Sundays, 11am until 4pm, at 50
Lanner Drive, Rolleston.
Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
So what are you waiting for? Check
out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.
A large, quality home sited in a private and established
5021m 2 park-like se ting in the sought after Claremont
Estate on the boundary of Christchurch City.
The home features four bedr oms (master with
