Neighbours at war 

Across 

fence 

conflicts 

increase 

• By Devon Bolger 

A FAMILY caught in a feud 

with their neighbours for the 

past year say they are relieved it 

is finally over. 

The neighbours, who 

allegedly taunted and watched 

the Rolleston residents, have 

now moved 

out. 

Senior 

Sergeant 

Dean Harker 

said police 

have seen an 

increase in 

Dean Harker 

the number 

of complaints 

regarding 

neighbourhood conflicts in the 

district over the last month. 

A member of the family, 

who wished to remain 

anonymous, said: “It started a 

couple of years after they moved 

in. They were targeting the other 

neighbours first and then they 

started on us. They kind of left 

my husband alone but they 

would yell out at me. 

“It got to the point where we 

didn’t really go outside. My 

husband wouldn’t even open 

his garage because they’d be 

watching him. They’d just 

stand out there and stare at you 

or look out their window at 

you. It was constant weird stuff 

they were doing.” 

They were very relieved to 

hear their neighbours have now 

moved out as the household 

was deeply affected by the 

conflict, the resident said. 

“We even changed the layout 

of our house. We blocked the 

windows in our lounge and 

made it a smaller area so they 

couldn’t look into it.” 

They reported the incidents to 

police but there was not much 

that could be done unless a 

criminal offence was committed. 

“I laid a complaint first off 

and then I had direct contact 

with a police officer and could 

just contact him. 

“It may have been about 

six times I talked to police 

about it but there was a lot of 

stuff I didn’t report because 

it was annoying to us but 

it wasn’t going to change 

anything.” • Turn to page 4

IT SOUNDS like not-sofriendly 

neighbours are 

becoming more prevalent in 

the district. 

On page 1 today, we talk 

to one family that has been 

through the mill in the past 

year. 

Their problems have finally 

come to an end because the 

neighbours causing the 

psychological carnage have 

moved out. 

Said the aggrieved party: 

“It got to the point where 

we didn’t really go outside. 

My husband wouldn’t even 

open his garage because 

they’d be watching him. 

They’d just stand out there 

and stare at you or look out

constant weird stuff they 

were doing.” 

Police say a key piece of 

advice to people is to not 

take matters into their own 

hands. 

Wise words.

Lincoln to get an 

ambulance based at fire station 


A COMMUNITY-LED initiative 

will see an ambulance based at 

Lincoln. 

It is likely the ambulance will 

be on call every day from 10am- 

10pm. 

St John is working with Fire 

and Emergency New Zealand 

over the project. Discussions 

are being held 

about when it 

will be up and 

running. 

The ambulance 

will be 

based at the 

Lincoln Fire 

Dave Berry 

Station. 

Said FENZ 

area commander 

Dave Berry: “It’s actually 

a local community initiative and 

they approached us and I offered 

the station as a place to put it. 

“It will be based in Lincoln but 

used around the area.” 

Berry said it is good to have 

extra support for medical calls in 

Lincoln. 

“All of the firefighters are trained 

in responding to medical calls 

but it is always good to have some 

extra knowledge behind you. 

“We attend any purple calls 

which are cardiac arrests and 

things like that and also motor 

vehicle accidents where we do 

basic treatment of patients, 

extracting and things like 

that.” 

Last year the Lincoln Volunteer 

Fire Brigade responded to 54 

motor vehicle accidents and 17 

medical calls. 

Currently there are ambulances 

based in Rolleston and Darfield. 

Last year, the station in

PROGRESS: 

The Lincoln 

Fire Station 

will be the 

home of an 

ambulance 

service that 

will operate 

in the area 

from 10am- 

10pm. 

Rolleston became staffed 24/7 

meaning it has one ambulance 

operating 24 hours a day, seven 

days a week and a second 

ambulance on a 12-hour day 

shift from mid-morning to midevening.

over 

• From page 1 

Harker said the conflict with 

the resident is one of a number of 

similar situations they have been 

made aware of recently. 

“We have about three ongoing 

conflicts in Rolleston at the moment 

and a couple of incidents 

from rural areas outside of Rolleston.” 

He said police sometimes attempt 

to speak with both parties 

to try to work through the conflict 

but it is not always possible. 

“Not everybody agrees to 

mediation so it can be difficult. 

Legally there is not a lot we can 

do if they have not committed a 

criminal offence.” 

Harker said the key piece of 

advice he can give is to not take 

matters into your own hands.

Good start to young 

driver licence campaign 


POLICE SAY catching just two 

young drivers breaching their 

licence conditions as part of a 

new campaign is a good start. 

Senior Constable Scott 

Mclachlan said he has been 

happy with the results since the 

campaign launched last Monday. 

“It is good that we are not 

getting a lot of stops of kids 

breaching their licences.” 

Of the two police have caught, 

one of them is a female who 

was driving on a learner licence 

with no supervisor or L plates in 

place. 

“It was quite obvious she was 

not a confident driver which is 

what drew my attention to her.” 

The other offender was a male 

who was also on a learner licence 

and was carrying passengers. 

Both of the drivers will be 

sent letters to attend a seminar 

planned for later in the year 

instead of being given tickets. 

“The passengers in the vehicle 

will also be asked to attend as if 

you are a passenger to someone 

on a learner licence, you are 

more than likely going to be 

aiding and abetting so you’re 

basically committing the same 

offence as the driver.” 

Mclachlan said police found 

no drivers in breach of their 

licence conditions during patrols 

at Darfield and Lincoln high 

schools on Monday morning. 

“I have not been disappointed 

is how I would describe it. It is 

good that we are not getting a lot 

of stops of kids breaching their 

licences.” 

More patrols are planned, 

mainly in the mornings and 

lunchtimes, until the second 

week of October when the 

campaign will end. 

Rather than being fined, 

drivers caught breaching their 

licences will instead be invited to 

an educational seminar. 

‘If they attend and they take

on board the presentation then 

we won’t issue a fine and demerit

“If they decline to show up 

then they will get a ticket which 

will be dated back to when they 

were dealt with.” 

Young people breaching 

the conditions of their licence 

is a problem in the district, 

Mclachlan said. 

“It is a problem all over the 

country. We have a limited 

number of staff who are in a 

position to be able to respond 

regularly and keep on top of that 

kind of offending.”

on some overdue library items 


FOR THE next two years, 

residents will no longer be 

charged if their library book is 

overdue. 

District council chief executive 

David Ward said it is one of the 

post Covid-19 initiatives to support 

the community. 

“It’s as much of a response to 

Covid-19 as it is to enhancing the 

libraries. We are also acknowledging 

that we are in the midst 

of constructing a very significant 

library in Rolleston, Te Ara Atea, 

and reminding people of that.” 

Ward said the proposal has 

been on the back-burner for a 

while but Covid-19 has given 

them an opportunity to revisit it. 


SECTIONS OF two Prebbleton 

water races will be closed to 

make way for upgrades to two 

dangerous intersections. 

The district council agreed to 

the closure of a 920m section of 

the Blakes Rd water race and a 

2700m section of the Marshs Rd 

District councillors unanimously 

voted last week to approve 

waiving the overdue fees 

until June 30, 2022. 

Residents have previously been 

charged 50c per book per day if 

it is overdue. The fees are already 

waived for junior cards. 

A total of $17,133 in overdue 

fees were paid during the 

2018/2019 financial year and 

$11,932 was generated last financial 

year. 

The fees will now be waived 

with the exception of adults who 

are late returning items from the 

pay-for/value added, hot picks 

and some DVDs. 

The library will still charge for 

the replacement of any items that 

are lost or damaged. 

Roundabouts force closure of water races 

water race. 

It is to make way for new 

roundabouts that will be installed 

at the Springs and Marshs 

and Blakes and Shands Rds 

intersections. 

A district council spokesman 

said the closure will save significant 

costs when building the new 

roundabouts. 

“Due to work on the Christchurch 

Southern Motorway both 

[water races] have been flowing 

intermittently and their closure 

will provide certainty to nearby 

landlords on future water supplies.” 

The Shands and Blakes Rds 

intersection was named one of 

the worst in Canterbury in 2018 

SLASHED: David Ward

based on crash statistics. 

There have been two fatal 

crashes, one serious, and nine 

minor at the intersection since 

2011. Two people died in a crash 

there in February 2018. 

At the Springs and Marshs Rds 

intersection, there has been one 

serious crash and two non-injury 

crashes. 

Chlorine for 

two more 

water supplies 


THE UPPER Selwyn Huts and 

Arthur’s Pass water supplies will 

be permanently chlorinated. 

District councillors unanimously 

voted to approve the proposal at 

a meeting last week. 

It follows a decision in December 

2018 to chlorinate both water 

supplies, subject to consultation 

with both communities. 

Following that consultation, 

the district council has agreed 

to chlorinate based on a risk assessment 

approach to make sure 

water is safe at the two locations. 

Independent risk reviews of 

both sites also recommended 

chlorination. The risk assessment 

for Arthur’s Pass gave the scheme 

a score of 43.7 out of 100 and the 

Upper Selwyn Huts scheme 34.1. 

It brings the total number of 

chlorinated water supplies in the 

district to nine. A further 19 supplies 

remain unchlorinated. 

The district council also agreed 

to consult with the community 

through the 2021-2031 Long-Term 

Plan on whether the remaining 

unchlorinated supplies should be 

chlorinated.

She didn’t have her inhaler

remember,” she said. 

St John ambulance staff came 

to her aid and started doing cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation but 

she was not breathing. 

That’s when doctors Tom 

Brown, David Lyons-Ewing and 

Rob Cole who were standing behind 

her, stepped in and inserted 

a tube into Turnbull’s mouth to

“The doctors were actually 

ICU doctors, it was so crazy, and 

they just finished their shift to go 

to the game. 

“If they hadn’t have been there, 

I was a goner,” she said. 

The three doctors then left 

Turnbull in the hands of ambulance 

staff. 

Said Turnbull: “The ambulance 

apparently worked on me for 20 

minutes or so before they even 

left the stadium.”

attack at the Crusaders v Blues game last month, Jacqui 

Turnbull received tickets to watch the red and blacks beat 

the Highlanders on August 8.

She was transported to the intensive 

care unit at Christchurch 

Hospital. 

Turnbull’s family was told she 

may suffer brain damage, but 

miraculously, she recovered and 

was discharged two days after 

her asthma attack. 

Crusaders staff heard 

Turnbull’s story and invited 

her, her daughter Jess Blomeley 

and Blomeley’s friend Sophie 

Thompson to the team’s training 

in the lead-up to the Highlanders 

clash, where she met with 

Brown, police and security staff 

who helped her, and coach Scott 

Robertson. 

Said Turnbull: “Tom [Brown] 

the young doctor had actually 

come in to see me when I was in 

the ward, it must have been Monday 

morning, so I had actually 

met him prior to this. But because 

I was so spaced out, just saying 

thank you didn’t even cut it. 

“It was really cool to be able to 

go back there a few weeks later 

and meet up with everybody and 

it was very overwhelming.” 

Meanwhile, Turnbull and her 

family got free tickets to see the 

Crusaders beat the Highlanders 

on August 9 and said she will 

never be caught without her 

inhaler again.

Terrace Downs Resort up for auction 

THE TERRACE Downs golf 

resort, which is regarded as one 

of the best in the country, is up 

for auction after its owner died 

from Covid-19. 

The resort in Windwhistle 

was bought by Japanese investor 

Hiroshi Hasegawa in 2012 after 

he was given the go-ahead by the 

Overseas Investment Office. 

Hasegawa died in Japan aged 

59 in April after becoming ill 

with Covid-19. His estate is now 

selling the resort. 

The auction is set to take place 

on September 17 in Christchurch. 

Terrace Downs Resort is regarded 

as the finest high-country 

course in New Zealand and was 

ranked by New Zealand Golf 

magazine as one of the top five 

courses for layout in the country. 

The par 72 course offers a 

choice of four tees on each hole 

and incorporates 10 lakes and 

more than 60 bunkers. 

Marketing agent Tim Rookes, 

of commercial real estate firm 

CBRE, said the property is being 

sold as land and buildings only. 

“We are expecting strong interest 

from high net worth investors 

and consortiums, who will 

recognise this as a rare chance to 

acquire a very well-known property. 

This is a fantastic opportunity 

to own a championship golf 

HIGHLY-REGARDED: Terrace Downs golf resort will go up for auction following the death of its owner Hiroshi Hasegawa. 

course which is regarded as one 

of the best in the country,” he 

says. 

“Golf courses certainly don’t 

come up on the market very 

often, certainly not in such a 

magnificent setting as this, so we 

expect this will be seen as a trophy 

asset by prospective buyers.” 

The resort features extensive 

landscaping, with tussock plantings, 

lakes and stands of woodland 

and bush. 

Sealed roads provide access to 

78 privately-owned residential 

sites; including a cluster of 52 

apartments and 26 free-standing 

chalet-style homes scattered 

throughout the property. 

As well as golf, the resort itself 

has existing facilities for archery, 

clay bird shooting, tennis, 

mountain biking and a driving 

range.

SELWYN TIMES 

Take action if you are being harassed 

Area response manager 

Senior Sergeant Dean 

Harker talks about police 

activity in the district 

03 349 5050 

Dean Harker 

Selwyn Police 

“DENTURES 

IN A DAY!” 

Call now 

for details 

OVER THE last month we have 

had an increase of residents 

having ongoing problems with 

their neighbours and calling into 

the station for advice, a lot of 

the time it is more of a civil than 

criminal matter. 

Here is some advice for 

people having these types of 

problems: 

If you’ve been harassed by a 

stranger or someone else in the 

community, you can take action 

against them under the Harassment 

Act 1997. 

You can apply to the district 

court for a restraining order 

against the harasser, and in the 

most serious cases you can go to 

the police. 

“Harassment” covers a wide 

range of behaviour, including 

things such as stalking, abusive 

phone calls, and threatening 

letter. 

The Harassment Act recognises 

that behaviour that might 

seem innocent or trivial on its 

own may amount to harassment 

when seen in context. 

When you take action under 

the Harassment Act, you have 

to show, first, that the behaviour 

amounts to “harassment” within 

the meaning of the Act, and 

second that the harassment meets 

the test for obtaining a restraining 

order under the civil law parts 

of the Act or meet the higher test 

for criminal harassment. 

The Harassment Act doesn’t 

apply when the person harassing 

you is someone who you’re in a 

family or domestic relationship 

with. This is covered instead by 

the Family Violence Act. 

Family violence (which the law 

used to call “domestic violence”) 

can include a wide range of 

family and close personal 

relationships. 

How can the Harassment Act 

help? 

If you’re being harassed, you 

can apply for a restraining order 

from the district court under the 

“civil harassment” parts of the 

Act. 

The Harassment Act also 

makes the most serious types of 

harassment a criminal offence, 

whether or not you’ve already 

been granted a restraining order. 

In those cases, you can complain 

to the police, and if the harasser 

is convicted they could be jailed 

for up to two years. 

A person’s behaviour can 

amount to both criminal and 

civil harassment. In those situations, 

you can both complain to 

the police and also apply to the 

district court for a restraining 

order. 

What is a restraining order? 

A restraining order is a legal 

order granted by the district 

court under the “civil harassment” 

part of the Harassment 

Act. The order makes it a 

criminal offence for the harasser 

to contact you in any way, or do 

things like watching or hanging 

round outside your home, or 

following you or stopping you in 

the street, or doing anything else 

that would make any reasonable 

person fear for their safety. 

The order also makes it illegal 

for the harasser to threaten to do 

any of those things, or to encourage 

someone else to do any of 

those things to you. 

Just having a restraining order 

made against them doesn’t give 

the harasser a criminal record. 

However, it’s a criminal offence 

if they breach the order, and this 

will give the person a criminal 

record. In this way a restraining 

order is similar to a protection 

order under the Family Violence 

Act. 

COMPLAIN: Harassment covers a wide range of behaviour 

including stalking. 

If the criteria for a restraining 

order are met, an order can be 

made against any person, but 

with exceptions: 

• An order can’t be made 

against a child (that is, someone 

under 18) unless they’re married, 

in a civil union, or in a de facto 

relationship with their parent’s 

permission. 

• An order can’t be made 

against someone who you are 

(or have been) in a family or domestic 

relationship with. In these 

cases you may be able to apply 

for a protection order under the 

Family Violence Act. 

What’s been happening 

crime-wise around the district? 

We had a fantastic result 

when Senior Constable Hamish 

Caird, of Darfield, was able 

to apprehend two people and 

charge them with a large number 

of offences relating to the theft 

of farm gates in the area. With 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

some good old-fashioned 

police work we were able to 

hold these suspects to account 

for their actions and return a 

large number of gates to their 

owners. 

We are also running an operation 

over the next few months 

focusing on young drivers 

breaching their driver licence, 

we are focusing on educating the 

drivers rather than punishing 

them. 

I encourage any parent of 

a youth who is apprehended 

during the operation to attend 

the seminar we are having 

at the end of the operation, 

as a number of parents will 

be unaware of insurance 

implications, financial and 

emotional effects on family of 

any youths involved in accidents 

where they breach their licence 

or a caught driving outside the 

terms of their licence.

Kirwee founded by Irish settler 

COLONEL de Renzie James 

Brett was a prominent pioneer of 

the Selwyn district, noted for his 

role in bringing irrigation to the 

area and in the establishment of 

Kirwee; yet he remains relatively 

unknown. 

Born in Wexford, Ireland, in 

1809, Brett was typical of many 

early settlers in the district in that 

he was well-educated and had 

served as an army officer before 

migrating to New Zealand. By 

the age of 16 he was serving as a 

junior officer in the British East 

India Company, in India, where 

he saw continuous active military 

service until 1853, having fought 

in the second Anglo-Burmese 

war. 

During the Crimean War he 

was seconded by the War Office 

in London for service with 

the Sultan of Turkey and later 

returned to India where he was 

present at the relief of Delhi and 

Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny 

of 1857-58. He retired with 

the rank of colonel in 1863. 

Brett immigrated to New 

Zealand with his wife and four 

children, arriving in Lyttelton on 

the Greyhound on May 9, 1865. 

A short time later he purchased 

a 1000-acre sheep run south of 

Courtenay and became a supporter 

of small farmer interests and

He was one of the prominent 

landowners in the district 

around this time and had named

his property on Courtenay Rd, 

‘Kirwee House’ from the name of 

a fort he had captured during the 

Indian mutiny. 

In 1868, the Coal Tramway 

Reserve running from Rolleston 

to Springfield was marked out by 

David Jebson with the intention 

Our Great 

history 

WITH WAYNE STACK 

of building a railway line from 

Rolleston to Springfield. By 1871 

the Courtenay and Tramway 

Rds (now known as West Coast 

Rd – State Highway 73) had been 

surveyed, with the intersection of 

these two roads being known as 

Brett’s Corner. 

With the development of the 

railway, interest in establishing 

a settlement at Brett’s Corner 

increased with the sale of land 

and by the time the railway came 

through in 1874 a grocery shop 

and a bakery had been established 

on Tramway Rd, along with a 

blacksmith shop on Courtenay 

Rd. This was followed by a flour 

mill in 1876. 

With the building of a railway 

station an official name for the 

settlement had to be found and 

Colonel Brett suggested ‘Kirwee,’ 

which was subsequently adopted. 

The first survey of the township 

was registered in October 1877. 

Brett’s greatest contribution to 

the district was the part he played 

in establishing the extensive water 

race system that provided muchneeded 

water throughout the 

district. During the pioneering 

years of farming in the area many 

locations suffered from a lack of 

regular water supply.

Irrigation changed face of district 

• From page 11 

As farms were established increasingly 

further away from the 

rivers, water had to be carted in 

drays using 400 gallon tanks. This 

difficult process was no longer 

required through the efforts of 

Brett in developing the Malvern 

water race system. 

He was fully aware of the acute 

need for water on the dry plains 

and had a novel idea how this 

could be supplied. During his 

time in India he had seen how the 

irrigation systems there had been 

developed to provide water to 

marginal land. 

At first his vision of extracting 

water from the Waimakariri 

River to supply the whole of the 

Canterbury Plains was ridiculed, 

as many believed the water would 

be lost through the shingle. 

However, after the success 

of a similar system in mid- 

Canterbury, in 1871 the 

Canterbury Provincial Council 

gave permission for a survey to 

be conducted into the feasibility 

of Brett’s scheme. Once this was 

completed a recommendation 

was made for water to be taken 

from the Kowai River near 

Springfield. 

Work commenced in 1876 and 

by the end of 1877 the headworks 

and two miles of race had been 

completed and officially opened. 

Drummond’s smithy in 1874. Right: The monument over the Kirwee water race dedicated to Colonel de Renzie James Brett. 

One branch of the line followed 

the straight Tramway Rd from 

Springfield to Rolleston, through 

Kirwee. 

The water race eventually 

reached Kirwee in 1881 and at 

this time Brett and other farmers 

in the area had (probably illegally) 

dug their own connecting 

irrigation ditches to extract water 

from the main race. 

This scheme proved so successful 

in providing a constant 

and reliable water supply that a 

deputation from West Melton 

requested a branch race be built 

to also supply water to properties 

along the Bealey Rd. 

The demand for water increased 

with further settlement 

and by 1886 a new scheme was 

authorized. 

Headworks were built near 

Halkett and from this intake the 

majority of West Melton’s stock 

and domestic water was supplied 

from the Waimakariri River. The 

race system was extended over 

time and by 1889 it provided 

water to the new Christchurch 

Meat Company freezing works at 

Islington. 

The water race system is Brett’s 

legacy to the people of the district 

and after 144 years is still functioning 

under the guardianship 

of the Selwyn District Council. 

The importance of the system to 

the early settlers was summed up 

by one local pioneer: ‘Water has 

changed the whole face of nature 

in the district, and life that was 

hardly tolerable, is now worth 

living.’ 

Brett was also noted as a 

successful and influential 

farmer, being active within 

his local community. He was 

a founding member of the 

Courtenay Farmers Club in 1869, 

which became the Courtenay 

Agricultural and Pastoral 

Association in 1880, holding 

positions as the first president, 

and later patron. 

Colonel Brett died at 

Christchurch in 1889, aged 80. 

A monument spanning the main 

water race at Kirwee was built 

in 1930 in recognition of his 

contribution in establishing water 

supply for the Canterbury Plains 

and remains a feature of the 

township’s history.

Put down your roots 

in Selwyn 

Newcomers to Selwyn are being invited to join longer-term residents to literally put down roots in 

the district. 

A planting day is being held at Chamberlains Ford Recreation Reserve on Sunday 6 September 

9.30am–12pm where Selwyn residents are invited to put down their roots by planting a native tree. 

There are 1000 trees to be planted on the day, with people encouraged to bring families and leave 

their mark on the Selwyn landscape for good. 

The aim is to give newcomers to Selwyn an opportunity to increase their bond with their new 

home, by symbolically and physically putting down roots. It is also about building community; 

bringing together newer residents with those who have been here for a longer time, to meet, mix 

and connect, Council Group Manager Community Services and Facilities, Denise Kidd says. 

“In the same way as plants get nourishment from the soil through their roots and go on to grow, 

thrive and spread, Council wants people to stay here, put down roots and improve Selwyn, for 

now and into the future.” 

Selwyn is one of nine councils recognised as Welcoming Communities under the Immigration New 

Zealand Welcoming Communities programme, which recognises and supports work by councils 

to help newcomers feel welcome and build connections. 

An art hub for the community 

Four years ago a former electrical store building sat empty on 

Leeston’s High Street. 

One day Ellesmere Art Group Trust member Averil Southward was 

asked by the building’s landlord to brighten up the place with her 

art in the window and before long people started ringing wanting to 

purchase her work. 

Today over 6,000 people visit this building each year to view the 

many pieces of artwork displayed in the building’s windows and 

gallery space. 

The Lakeland Art Gallery, run by 19 volunteers, has a separate 

tutor room used for workshops for the public and members of 

the Ellesmere Art Group Trust. The workshops are funded by the 

Council’s Creative Community Fund. 

“It’s different to other art groups in that we’ve got a comfortable tutor 

area all set up and a gallery where artists can display their art and be 

with art the whole time. We’ve made it feel like home,” Averil says. 

The fund goes towards art tutors and materials such as mosaic tiles 

and acrylic paints for the workshops. 

Averil has been a part of the Ellesmere Art Group Trust for ten 

years and says the trust has been using the fund for many years – 

long before she joined – which has enabled it to open this hub for 

the community. 

“People just love coming here. I’ve got a lovely elderly lady who 

comes here, she’ll come in once a month because it puts a smile 

on her face. You get these comments and it just makes you feel so 

good, it’s nice if you can provide that for people,” she says. 

It has even attracted new Selwyn residents exploring the area and 

often they become trust members and volunteers. 

“There’s hours and hours of work that goes into it but we’re very 

proud of it and we’re hoping we can stay here for a really long time.” 

Applications for the Creative Community Fund are now open. Visit 

selwyn.govt.nz/artsfunding to find out more. 

Large-scale water upgrades continuing 

Four new water treatment plant upgrades have been completed as the major upgrade works to the 

districts’ water systems continue. 

Upgrades have been completed on treatment plants at Rakaia Huts, Tai Tapu, Claremont, Veuve Drive 

in Lincoln and Gallipoli Street in Leeston, adding treatment options such as UV treatment. 

The work is part of a $23 million district-wide programme of 59 capital works projects to build and 

upgrade pump stations and water treatment plants, to increase capacity and improve water quality 

and safety. 

Work is also under way on treatment plant upgrades in Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill, Dalethorpe, 

Springston, West Melton and Te Pirita. A further seven upgrades are planned over the next two years in 

Kirwee, Lincoln, Hororata, Darfield, Prebbleton, Springfield and Taumutu. 

Council Group Manager Infrastructure Murray Washington says the upgrades are part of a significant 

long-term commitment from the Council to keep improving this service, to keep up with growth and 

health requirements. 

“Clean, safe drinking water is an essential service and we’re committed to providing the best service 

possible to make sure that people have access to a safe and sufficient supply.”

Selwyn Open: Old library becomes cave of treasures 

As part of our Selwyn Open campaign we’re profiling some of the many excellent businesses local to 

you. You can find these businesses on the Selwyn Business Directory at selwyn.govt.nz/directory. 

This week we talk to Carol Gurney from Carol’s Closet. 

After selling the Hororata Café, Carol Gurney wanted to raise money for St John’s Church, left damaged 

by the 2010 earthquake. 

That was when she decided to transform a vacant library space into an op-shop donating all profits to 

the church. 

Formerly the Hororata Library, the small room next to the Hororata Community Hall swapped books for 

second-hand clothing, shoes, accessories, paintings and jewellery, becoming Carol’s Closet. 

Walking into the store is like discovering Aladdin’s Cave, a space that looks small from the outside but is 

larger than life on the inside with a range of hidden treasures and clothing, ranging from sizes eight to 24. 

“I could almost count on one hand how many people leave without buying something, which to me, that 

is amazing. There’s always something for everyone,” says store owner, Carol Gurney. 

“I’ve always loved preloved clothing shops and so I thought why not!” 

It became a community project with every clothing piece donated to the store, 

then sorted and steam cleaned by Carol to make sure it is in good condition. 

Carol receives donations from ladies who knit winter hats, blankets made by 

the vicar and the most recent addition, a free library made out of an old fridge 

painted by Hororata Primary School. In return she’s on hand when needed. 

“Sometimes the café might say to me, ‘The Porsche Car Club is coming out’. 

So I might ring the club and say, ‘Would you like me to open up the Closet for 

you?’ And they go, ‘Yes, the ladies will love it!’ ” 

The store runs on a volunteer basis, open three days a week, but even when 

it’s closed, Carol says to give her a call and she will be there in two minutes. 

Business survey under way 

The Council is looking to take the pulse of the business community 

in Selwyn to better understand the current situation, challenges and 

opportunities businesses are experiencing. 

The survey will help the Council in its planning for activities to support 

the business community, such as topics and speakers for the Council’s 

planned ‘Businesses After 5’ series. 

It will also help the Council advocate for local opportunities, as well 

as share quality information with agencies, including government and 

funders, to better inform their planning and decisions. 

The Council is intending to run the survey at regular points in the future 

to build and present a long-term picture. 

Businesses can fill out the survey at Selwyn.govt.nz/BusinessSurvey2020 

On the roads 

Trents Road has reopened heading south east away from Springs Road, but traffic 

management remains in place while minor pipework is completed.

A NURSE who grew up 

in Leeston has received a 

major healthcare award. 

Cassie Scaife had a 

smile a mile wide as she 

absorbed the news that 

she’d been named Ryman 

Healthcare’s nurse of the 

year. 

It was no small achievement 

– Christchurchbased 

Ryman Healthcare 

is New Zealand’s largest 

retirement village operator 

and employs 620 nurses at 

36 villages in NZ and in 

Australia. 

Anthony Wilding Retirement 

Village has been 

a big part of life for the 

registered nurse. 

She first started at the 

village as a 17-year-old 

school student, working in 

the laundry and then the 

kitchen teams when it first 

opened in 2007. 

Scaife first trained as a 

paramedic in Wellington 

after leaving school, filling 

in her time with shifts as 

a caregiver at Rita Angus 

Retirement Village while 

she was studying. 

It was while working as 

an ambulance officer that 

she attended an emergency 

A GROUP of West Melton 

School pupils have been 

recognised for their recent 

successes. 

An award ceremony 

was held at the school a 

fortnight ago. 

At the event, the school 

cup champions for the 

cross-country were given 

out. 

The recipients were 

Ethan for the junior boys, 

Eleanor for the junior girls, 

Brooklyn for the senior 

boys and Nikita for the 

senior girls. 

Brooklyn broke the 

and realised that her destiny 

lay in working as an 

aged-care nurse. 

“We went on a callout to 

look after an older woman 

who was in trouble. It was 

when I was caring for her 

that I realised that looking 

after older people was what 

I really wanted to do,” said 

Scaife. 

“I think my workmates 

were surprised, but that’s 

what I wanted to do.’’ 

She returned to Leeston 

to begin a three-year 

nursing course at CPIT 

and later returned to 

where it all started at 

Anthony Wilding to work 

as a registered nurse on the 

afternoon team. 

No one was more 

delighted with her win 

than her mum and sister, 

who were on hand for her 

awards night celebration 

along with daughters 

Phoebe, 5, and Hazel, 3. 

“It’s an amazing place 

and team to work with,’’ 

said Scaife. 

“You never hear them 

complain no matter what 

is going on. They just get 

on and put in the effort to 

care for everyone and to do 

school’s record for the year 

8 boys. 

Promotions and sports 

co-ordinator Rita Spadoni 

said Brooklyn, Eleanor and 

Ethan also participated in 

the Selwyn Central Zone 

cross-country at Halswell 

Quarry. 

Brooklyn came in first 

place for the year 8 boys, 

Eleanor in second for the 

year 6 girls and Ethan in 

third for the year 5 boys. 

They have all qualified 

for the Canterbury 

cross-country that was 

expected to be held on 

their best for them.’’ 

She was also grateful for 

Jeannie Sales, Anthony 

Wilding’s clinical manager, 

and Sharon Armstrong, 

village manager, for their 

backing over the years. 

Said Scaife: “Jeannie has 

been a great mentor. She’s 

always there and makes 

time for those long conversations 

you need about the 

lessons you’re learning and 

the problems that come up. 

“She told me early on to 

listen carefully and to ask 

the right questions to guide 

conversations, particularly 

with families. 

“It’s been great advice 

and something I try to pass 

on. 

“Sharon’s always efficient 

and supportive, no matter 

what the problem is.’’ 

A number of residents 

are retired farmers from 

the Leeston area. 

“I’ve grown up knowing 

them and their families so 

there’s a real community 

feel to what we do,” she 

said. 

“Talking to them, seeing 

that they are happy and 

knowing their quirks is all 

part of the job.’’ 

Pupils celebrate success 

Wednesday last week but 

has been postponed due to 

Covid-19. 

Also recognised at the 

ceremony were Emily, 

Ruby and Isabel who 

came in first at the Interface 

Primary Schools 

Minecraft competition 

in the year one to six 

category. 

They had to create an 

eco-friendly world to go 

with the theme of ‘build a 

better future’. 

They won a Meccano 

personal robot for their 

class.

Tiny sap-sucker only 

lives on kōwhai 

PSYLLIDS ARE small sapsucking 

insects like aphids, 

and are sometimes called 

jumping lice. 

They resemble miniature 

cicadas and there are 4000 

species worldwide. 

One common New 

Zealand endemic species is 

the greater kōwhai psyllid 

(Psylla apicalis) which is 

1.65 to 2.0mm in length. 

Kōwhai is the only host for 

this species. 

This psyllid can sometimes 

reach pest proportions 

between August and 

December. 

The species was thought 

to be quite variable until 

recently when two Lincoln 

University scientists discovered 

there were in fact 

two similar looking species 

living on kōwhai. 

Dr Martoni and Dr Armstrong 

cracked the 87-yearold 

curiosity using DNA

on kōwhai and in spite of its tiny size, can reach 

pest proportions between August and December.

presence of a second kōwhai 

psyllid species, which is 

called Psylla frodobagginsi 

(after the “Hobbit” character 

Frodo Baggins) due to its 

smaller size. 

The hobbit kōwhai psyllid 

is not only smaller (1.24- 

1.56mm long) but is also 

lighter in colour, and has 

uniformly spotted wings

Tasty Bites 

Hashing up a breakfast of champions 

Corned beef/silverside 

isn’t everyone’s cup 

of tea and it’s often 

a textural thing. But 

leftover corned beef 

makes for an amazing 

fry-up the next day, 

which crisps it up nicely. 

In fact, forget leftovers, 

these recipes are worth 

cooking corned beef for 

by themselves 

Corned beef hash 

8 servings 

Ingredients 

3 tbsp butter 

3 cups potatoes, diced 

1 cup red capsicum, chopped 

½ cup onion, chopped 

500g corned beef, cooked/cubed 

1 tbsp Italian seasoning 

4 eggs 

¼ tsp salt (optional, as corned 

beef is already salty) 

¼ tsp pepper 

Pinch chilli flakes (optional) 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. In a 

medium sized oven-proof skillet, 

melt butter then add 

diced potatoes. Cook 5-7min, 

until the potatoes are tender and 

slightly crispy. Add capsicum and 

onions, and cook 4-6min until 

tender. 

Add the corned beef and cook 

until warmed and slightly brown. 

Crack the eggs on top of the 

hash. Place the skillet in theoven 

and bake for 8-10min until eggs 

are set. Season with salt, pepper 

and pinch of chilli flakes. 

Corned beef hash 

breakfast cakes 

10 servings 

Ingredients 

1.2kg Desiree potatoes, whole, 

unpeeled 

350g corned beef, roughly 

chopped 

2 tbsp wholegrain mustard 

¼ cup finely chopped chives 

2 eggs, lightly beaten 

1 cup plain flour 

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 tbsp butter, melted 

Fruit chutney, to serve 

Directions 

Boil potatoes for 25-30min or 

until tender. Drain. Cool for 10min. 

Roughly smash potatoes (so that 

they are still chunky). Set aside for 

30min to cool completely. 

Add beef, mustard, chives, eggs, 

and salt and pepper to potato. 

Stir until combined. Place flour 

into a separate bowl. Using ¼ 

cupful of mixture at a time, shape 

potato mixture into 8cm patties. 

Refrigerate for 2hr or until firm. 

Lightly coat patties in flour. 

Preheat a non-stick pan over 

medium heat. Combine oil and 

butter in pan. When sizzling, 

add patties. Cook for 3-4min 

each side or until golden. 

Serve with chutney.

Wine 

EXPECTATIONS are a funny 

thing. 

Naturally, I try to avoid them 

when I’m tasting, as they could 

cloud one’s judgement and 

impartiality. 

I know the identity of the wines 

in a tasting, but they are always 

masked and in random order: this 

is dubbed “single blind tasting”. 

My regular tasting duo 

of Collins and McLaren are 

informed of the wine style and 

vintage spread, but know neither 

the identities nor order in which 

they are served: this is “double 

blind tasting”. 

The average price of today’s 

wines created an expectation of 

class, which was borne out in the 

glass.

Subtle nose with sweet berry

Flavoursome, developing a 

bittersweet element and sweet ‘n’

Appealing nose, darker 

register to the fruit, plum,

building in fragrance. Richly 

fruited, mouth- filling, this is 

clearly a ripe and powerful wine, 

yet it doesn’t stray into excess. 

Some chalky/ fruit pith and 

zesty acid interplay brings lovely 

liveliness to the texture. A fresh, 

tangy note hangs on the long 

finish. Delightful.

A nose of intrigue, balsamic/ 

umami influences shift to

Richly fruited entry, 

loganberry, mixed berries,

Primary sector jobs for 

kiwis gets a boost 

A new campaign launched today will attract 

people to vital food and fibre sector jobs, says 

Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor. 

Mr O’Connor recently launched Opportunity 

Grows Here – a website and marketing 

campaign funded through Budget 2020 - to 

attract 10,000 New Zealanders into food and 

fibre jobs over four years. 

“Our primary sector is a huge part of our 

economy and our brand and it’s going to play 

a big role in our economic recovery,” Damien 

O’Connor said. 

“It’s a sector that brings tens of billions of 

dollars to the New Zealand economy every year 

and accounts for nearly one in every seven jobs, 

but more Kiwi workers are needed to support 

its growth. We want to redeploy recently 

unemployed Kiwis to help fill the gap. 

“It can be hard to find information when you 

are looking for a job and so we’ve built this site 

to bring opportunities across the primary sector 

together into the one place, making it easier for 

employers and for job seekers. 

“Many unemployed people are talented and 

have skills that are readily transferrable. They 

just need to know that these opportunities exist 

– that’s what this campaign is all about. 

“The research we did showed us that people 

didn’t know about the range of job options in

SELWYN TIMES 

It’s a world record – or is it? 

Leeston arable farmer David Birkett has 

unofficially smashed the world record 

wheat yield by at least 1 tonne/ha. In 

February he had claimed a yield of 16.7t/ 

ha from that season’s harvest, edging out 

the current world record of 16.52t/ha. 

Birkett says he has now received 

confirmed weighbridge figures putting 

his yield at 17.59t/ha – beating the 

current world record by 1.07t/ha. 

“I’ve got confirmation we’re well and 

truly above the record,” he told Rural 

News. 

However, he still cannot claim the 

official record because it was not 

registered and monitored as an official 

attempt. 

“They changed the rule a couple of 

years ago so now you have to advise 

them of the paddock you’re going for 

and who your advisors are and so forth, 

prior to sowing the crop – which is a bit 

ridiculous, to be honest, because at any 

time you don’t know which paddock will 

yield the best.” 

Previously, all that was needed was that 

the harvesting and weighing be attested 

by, say, a Justice of the Peace, he says. 

The current holder is Rodney Smith, of 

Northumberland, Britain. New Zealand 

growers held the two previous records. 

“To get the world record back for NZ 

would be a big job now,” says Birkett. 

He has not registered anything for the 

current season. 

Birkett, chairman of the Foundation 

for Arable Research, farms a thirdgeneration 

family farm of 180ha. He 

runs about a dozen crops on a five year 

rotation, including wheat, barley, peas 

and beans, clover and grass seeds for the 

local market, and vegetable seeds mainly 

for export. 

His record-breaking crop of last season 

was Oakley wheat, a feed variety, which 

tends to be lower-protein but higher 

yielding than milling varieties. Most of it 

went as feed to local chicken farms. 

Birkett says there was no secret to 

the record-breaking crop, just good 

management. “If you do the basics well 

you’re 90% there.” 

This season’s crop is “looking pretty 

good,” he says, having just finished 

tillering at growth stage 31-32. It was 

sown in mid-April. 

Birkett believes a long time in the 

ground is important for high yields. 

Wheat puts down long roots and seems 

to enjoy dry conditions, but Birkett 

says the continuing dry is now “pretty 

worrying”. 

He irrigates from wells and says Leeston 

is lucky to have a high water table. 

However, the groundwater level is now 

very low for this time of year. 

“We’d normally be about 1.5m coming 

out of winter and we’re currently at 3.5m. 

We got down to 5m this year, which is the 

lowest we’ve ever seen.”

Herbs like a place in the sun Limited for space? 

Grow in containers 

ALL THE promise of spring is 

out there in the herb garden. 

It’s a good idea to plant herbs 

close to the kitchen — the 

further away they are, the less 

likely you are to pick them, 

especially in rainy weather. 

Most of the cooking herbs like 

a place in the sun, though mint 

will grow in a damp shady spot. 

If you don’t have much space, 

stick to those herbs you know 

you’ll use in cooking. 

Consider growing them in 

pots, or plant herbs in the 

flower garden — most are quite 

decorative. 

Fresh coriander is an 

important ingredient in many 

Thai and Indian dishes and 

now’s the time for planting the 

seeds of this annual herb. 

Coriander plants are taprooted 

and don’t transplant well, 

so sow seeds where you want 

the plants to grow and thin out 

when necessary. 

The seeds are slow to 

germinate, so don’t give up on 

them too soon. 

Some varieties of chives 

die down in the winter, while 

others stay green the whole year 

through. 

If rust is a problem, 

cut the clumps back and wait 

for fresh rust-free growth. If 

that doesn’t work, it may be best 

FLAVOUR: Sow coriander where you want the plants to 

grow and thin out. 

to plant some new bulbs in a 

different spot. 

Clumps need to be divided 

and replanted every few years 

in any case or the chives get 

overcrowded and loose their 

vigour. 

Garlic chives have a stronger 

flavour than regular chives and 

the flowers are white and starry 

rather than pom-pom shaped. 

The plants grow more slowly 

and the leaves 

stand up to cooking a bit better. 

Parsley comes in two forms – 

the curly-leaved variety and flat 

or broad-leaved parsley, often 

known as Italian parsley. 

The latter is currently more 

trendy but at a pinch you can 

usually substitute one for the 

other. 

SIMPLE, uncluttered garden 

design is especially appropriate 

when space is limited. 

Whether you want a serene 

look or something dramatic, you 

can achieve it by mass planting 

just a few carefully chosen 

plant species, each with strong 

features. 

Flowers are not essential (year 

round good looks and healthy 

foliage are more important), but 

as seasonal highlights they can 

make the garden all the more 

interesting. 

Mass planting by itself can be 

dull. Break up the monotony by 

choosing an accent plant that 

can be repeated throughout the 

design. Planting in pots adds 

extra zing and makes it easy to 

change or relocate your accent 

plants when you feel like a new 

look, or a change between seasons. 

As well as accents, every garden 

needs a strong focal point. 

Often a sculpture, this could also 

be a piece of furniture or garden 

architecture, a water feature, 

or just one stunning plant in a 

spectacular pot. 

Container gardening is a great 

way to enjoy getting your hands 

dirty. The trend is towards sim- 

CONTAINERS: Big pots and 

less of them is best 

plicity – bigger pots and less of 

them. 

Classy containers deserve 

classy plants, and those that last 

the distance. For pots in prime 

positions choose plants with a 

strong well-defined shape, preferably 

symmetrical so that they 

look good from all angles. 

When we plant whole groups 

of a few carefully chosen varieties, 

the effect is bold and deliberate, 

bringing strength and 

character to the garden. 

But not all plants are suitable 

for mass planting. Anything 

with a downtime is going to be 

a blot on your landscape for a 

large part of the year. So the first 

priority is to choose a plant that 

looks great for at least most of 

the year.

Extending the life 

of your spouting 

Birds nesting in your home’s spouting 

is not only be a noise issue but the eggs 

and young chicks can also attract vermin 

which can then get inside roof cavities and 

chew through wiring creating a fire hazard 

within your home. 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard is an effective 

way of preventing birds from making 

nests in the spouting and soiling walls and 

windows with their droppings. The guards 

can also protect tank water from being 

contaminated, ensuring the safety and 

quality of the water supply. 

Another key advantage of Gumleaf 

Gutter Guard is that it prevents leaf litter 

from gathering in the spouting. 

“Leaf litter remains damp and acidic 

and that wrecks the spouting,” says owner 

Rohan. 

“By having Gumleaf Gutter Guard 

installed, the life of the spouting is 

extended to the life of the roof.” 

Snow can also damage spouting, and 

again Gumleaf Gutter Guard will protect 

the spouting by spreading the load, Rohan 

says. 

Developed in Australia more than 20 

years ago, Gumleaf Gutter Guard has been 

providing a quality and effective solution 

in New Zealand for the last decade, Rohan 

says. Much of his work comes from repeat 

business, with customers happy with both 

the product quality and the service he 

provides. 

Customers requesting a quote will 

receive it within 24 hours, and Rohan says 

he will “go anywhere to provide a quote”. 

He is also available Monday to Saturday 

to speak to customers who call him. 

“Even if I am working on a job, I will 

talk to anyone who calls me,” he says. 

Once a quote is accepted, the job is 

started within 10 days, with installation 

on an average sized house taking one to 

two days. Rohan also does any necessary 

minor repair jobs on the roof at the same 

time.

Spring cleaning 

ingrained in our 

cultures 

Spring cleaning has cultural and 

religious roots and also ties back to 

keeping winter houses warm with fires 

and kerosene which filled houses with 

soot and grime. 

According to the SpareFoot blog spring 

cleaning is a hallmark of Jewish, Iranian 

and Chinese cultures. 

In ancient Jewish tradition, they would 

clean their home to prepare for Passover, 

in part to remove any bread that wasn’t 

unleavened. That’s because the Jewish 

slaves in Egypt survived by eating only 

unleavened bread, so having any yeastmade 

bread in the house during Passover 

isn’t allowed. By thoroughly cleaning 

the entire house, including all crumbs, 

they could be ensured no non-Kosher 

remnants remained. 

Spring cleaning is also ritual part of 

some Christian faiths as well. Members of 

the Greek Orthodox Church for example 

typically clean on the first day of lent, 

which they call Clean Monday. Catholic 

churches conduct a through cleaning of 

their altars on the day before Good Friday. 

In the Iranian culture, the Persian new 

year, known as Nowruz, falls on the first 

day of spring and includes a ritual known 

as “khooneh takouni” which means 

“shaking the house,” entailing a thorough 

house clean. 

Chinese New Year preparations 

incorporate a spring housecleaning called 

Little New Year or Xiaonian, designed 

to symbolically rid their home of any 

negativity and any lingering spirits. 

In the United States, spring cleaning 

was important in frontier homes to 

remove the accumulation of soot from 

winter fires that built up on poor quality 

window glass and needed to be cleaned so 

you could see out the windows. 

In addition most log homes in Texas 

and parts of the southern United States 

were “chinked” for the winter, which 

entailed filling the spaces between logs 

with mud. As summer approached, the 

chinking was removed to allow air to 

circulate, a modern-day “screen” of sorts. 

Housekeepers would finish the 

process by disinfecting and refreshing 

their homes with vinegar and herbs, 

which are great choices still today as 

natural alternatives to harsh household 

disinfectants. Another reason to wait 

until spring is because it was finally warm 

enough to open windows and doors to let 

the place air out. 

Even these days we still feel that pull 

to throw open our windows and remove 

all the long-settled dust and dirt from 

our home environments. Happy spring 

cleaning for 2020.

Beautiful lawns make 

difference to how your 

home looks 

A beautiful new lawn can really set off 

your home and makes a huge difference to 

how it looks. 

Canterbury Lawns are specialists in 

great looking lawns whether it is an 

instant roll-out lawn or hydroseeding. 

Their roll-out lawns use top quality 

products and are locally sourced. 

Hydroseeding is a cost effective option 

and can still be applied during the cooler 

months but may take longer to germinate 

depending on the location and how 

much sun the area gets, and of course, the 

weather. Spring is the perfect time of year 

to get your new lawn for summer! 

Hydroseeding is a spray-on application 

of water, grass seed, wood fibre mulch, 

fertiliser and tackifier (a glue which holds 

the mix to the surface it is sprayed on). 

This method gives the best chance for 

the seeds to germinate and become your 

beautiful green and luscious lawn. 

Canterbury Lawns owners Zac and 

Ashley Swale live locally and can give the 

best advice on growing the perfect lawn. 

Watering is key and Zac recommends 

having an automated irrigation system 

installed to make the job easier, more

Busy nursery at 

your door step 

Southern Woods Nursery is busier 

than ever, having recently experienced a 

surge in customer business, partly due to 

the underpass now being open and the 

lockdown. 

“We believe that during lockdown when 

everyone was at home they had the time 

to think about what they wanted to do 

with their outdoor areas. And how to live 

more self sufficiently,” says marketing 

manager Rico Mannall. 

Fruit trees, in particular, have been 

popular with a huge range of Southern 

Woods to select from their huge range 

of ripening fruit trees including apples, 

pears, feijoas, berry fruit and apricots. 

Heading towards the warmer 

months there is also a great selection of 

ornamentals and natives which can add 

some height and structure to the garden. 

The purpose-built retail store has been 

specifically designed with the customer 

in mind making it easy to find hedging, 

natives, deciduous trees, bushes, grasses, 

spots of colour or ground cover. 

Most of them are grown on site and 

looked after by the team of 40 dedicated 

staff who are on hand to help, are happy 

to provide free advice based on their 

many years in the business and knowledge 

of which plants to suit your property’s 

location, soil type and aspect. 

If you are unsure exactly what you are 

looking for a landscape architect and 

designer are also on-site to make your 

selection even easier. Another option is to 

take in your plans and they can help with 

deciding on which plants to use. 

Along with the plants, there is also 

a selection of premium tools, planting 

accessories and disease control products. 

“Our tools are top quality and come 

from Japan and Germany so they will last 

a long time,” says Rico. 

Customers can check the Southern 

Woods website, www.southernwoods.

friendly team a call on 0800 800 352. They 

can also arrange delivery New Zealand

Vibrant Veloster joins long line of coupes 

I KNOW LIFE often means 

disappointments but it will take 

me a bit of time to get over missing 

out on a drive of Hyundai’s new i30 

N fastback – a high-performance 

car based around its hot-hatch 

stablemate. 

See, the turbocharged 2-litre 

manual was a casualty of the 

coronavirus level 4 lockdown, I was 

due to have it within that period 

but it has since been seconded to 

duties in other parts of the country. 

That aside, the other Hyundai 

models I was scheduled into have 

arrived, and a week with the latest 

generation Hyundai Veloster 

almost made up for not stepping 

into the i30 N. 

The Veloster has been around 

since 2012, and has just undergone 

a major transformation. Saying 

that, the one element that makes 

the Veloster stand out from the 

crowd hasn’t been changed. What 

appears to be a traditional twodoor 

coupe is actually a three-door. 

Yes, there are two doors on the 

passenger side and just one on the 

driver’s side. 

The concept was first introduced 

with safety in mind, the rationale 

being that when children are seated 

in the rear they can only exit from 

the footpath side of the vehicle, 

egress to the road is denied. Bear in 

mind, too, that the Veloster is only 

a four-seater. 

Some might say the design of 

the Veloster is outlandish, I’d say 

it is bold yet trendy, it is fresh and 

with an aggressive body and with 

vivid colours to choose from, 

the Veloster certainly makes a 

statement. The evaluation car was 

finished in a matte gun metal grey, 

it drew a lot of attention during the 

time it was in my care. 

The Veloster arrives with two 

engine options – a 2-litre naturally 

aspirated unit that develops 

110kW. Or else there is a 1.6-litre 

turbocharged option – the 150kW 

engine that powers several other 

Hyundai and Kia models. 

The evaluation car was the 

latter, and it is an engine I’m quite 

familiar with, it is no outright 

powerhouse like the engine in the 

i30 N, but it is a feisty little unit and 

stands out for its honesty and fussfree 

behaviour. Although it must 

be said there is genuine exhaust 

sound, there’s a constant throb 

under load and an enticing crackle 

between gears. 

When the Veloster first 

appeared, it was Hyundai’s first 

full-production vehicle with a 

dual clutch gearbox; that type of 

transmission is still used, although 

it now gets seven gears that can 

be manipulated through steering 

wheel-mounted paddle shifters. 

In terms of driving, DCT units 

can be treated much like a normal 

STYLISH: The Hyundai Veloster is characterised by a short, 

squat rear quarter. 

HYUNDAI VELOSTER: Bold wheels add to its aggressive looks. 

automatic transmission, the big 

difference is that in itself it works 

like a manual but without a manual 

clutch and, of course, there’s no 

power-robbing characteristics 

of traditional torque converter 

system. 

The result is a quick shifting unit 

that doesn’t load the engine, power 

is clean, and with a strong torque 

figure (265Nm) and available low, 

and all of the way between 1500 

to 4500rpm, the Veloster turbo is 

a quick-reacting car which is no 

slouch against the stopwatch. 

It will lunge to 100km/h in 

7.5sec, which will satisfy those 

who are happy with moderate 

performance, but for me the 

big surprise is the mid-speed 

performance, it will scorch through 

a highway overtake (80-120km/h) 

in 4.2sec, made possible through 

solid turbo boost and quickshifting 

ratios which are ideal 

for the wide cross-section of our 

driving styles and journeys. 

On the subject of figures, 

the Veloster turbo is rated by 

Hyundai with a 7.1-litre per 

100km combined cycle fuel usage 

average. At 100km/h I recorded an 

instantaneous readout of 5l/100km 

with the engine working over freely 

at 2000rpm. 

I guess if you explore the 

turbo boost frequently it will be 

hard to match Hyundai’s claim, 

• Price – Hyundai Veloster, 

$52,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4250mm; width, 

1800mm; height, 1409mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1591cc, 150kW, 

265Nm, seven-speed dual 

clutch automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km 

and with just a 50-litre fuel tank 

you need to be mindful fill-ups 

may come around quicker than 

expected. 

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the 

power and strength of that wee 

engine, it is delightful and provides 

the fun factor when you feel the 

need for a quick burst, taking into 

account that several drive modes 

allow the driver to choose how the 

car behaves, from economical to 

sport. 

In terms of handling, the 

Veloster feels sharp up front with 

definite turn-in. Sport specification 

Michelin tyres (225/40 x 18in) 

have high-grip properties and 

combined with a fully independent 

suspension the car feels well 

attached to the road. 

Ride quality isn’t jeopardised by 

a definite firming of the dampers 

and springs and at just 1.4m tall 

gravitational movement in a corner 

needn’t be considered. 

The Veloster turbo is only 

available in one fully-specced 

level – Limited. It is loaded with 

goodies such as full leather, heated 

and cooled seats, heated steering 

wheel, head-up display, satellite 

navigation, keyless entry and 

ignition, and all the other bells and 

whistles that make up Hyundai’s 

top level trim spec. It also gets a full 

safety suite of technologies. 

Hyundai has had a long 

history of producing two-door 

coupes, even though you could 

argue the Veloster is essentially a 

three-door. When I first started 

writing about cars in 1988, one of 

the first I drove was the Scoupe, 

Hyundai’s first sporty car, that 

transformed into what Hyundai 

called simply Coupe around 1996, 

the Tiburon followed, then in 2012 

the Veloster first landed in New 

Zealand. 

That history has served 

Hyundai well, the Veloster is a 

beautifully-made car and one 

which is both fun and exciting. It 

dares to be different with its styling, 

but that is part of its appeal, if you 

want to stand out in a crowd, at 

$52,990 ($45,990 non-turbo), it’s a 

relatively affordable way to make a 

statement.

SELWYN TIMES 

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 means you have choice. 

Whether you gift your chosen charity, leave 

a legacy to your grandchildren through 

contributing to their education or first 

home, the choice is in your hands. 

Life is for living 

For those who have already made the move 

to Woodcroft Estate – you’ll meet likeminded 

people who are living life to the 

full. 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. 

You will find 

Woodcroft Estate 

at 34 Kendon Drive in 

Rolleston’s Levi Park.

Once In a Lifetime Opportunity 

Impressively positioned on 4,771sqm of private park-like 

grounds yet with all the conveniences of this growing 

township only a few minutes away, this is an opportunity 

not to be missed with Clearview School, Selwyn Aquatic 

Centre, Rolleston College & Foster Park a short stroll away. 

Currently utilised as a spacious family home with a 

fully self-contained second dwelling, this could easily 

become one grand 290sqm (approx.) five-bedroom, 

four living room home. 

With vistas to the stunning gardens, the main section of 

the house consists of a formal lounge, open plan dining 

with modern kitchen & a master bedroom boasting 

ensuite plus WIR. Offering the perfect retreat for the kids, 

are the two double bedrooms with their own living space. 

Extended family can be easily accommodated thanks to 

the fully self-contained wing comprising of a generous 

open plan living & dining area with an easy flow to 

two private patios (one covered), kitchen, two double 

bedrooms & bathroom with laundry. A stunning sweeping 

driveway leads to ample off-street parking, double 

garaging plus a large 2-bay shed with attached workshop. 

The vendors decision to downsize presents a superb 

opportunity to secure this unique property package 

which is often sought but seldom found.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections 

in the Selwyn District 

Be inspired 

A showhome to stimulate your creative juices was 

recently opened by Build7 at Flemington. Not just 

another home, if you’re looking to build, this is a 

must see. 

At 235sqm, this four bedroom home is spacious 

and modern with a comfortable feel. The exterior 

cladding seamlessly blends into the entryway, where 

a skylight provides natural light. 

The living area has plenty of natural light too. Here 

triple and double stackers lead out to a large deck 

and garden and a cathedral ceiling adds a sense of 

grandeur. A sunny and light yet intimate lounge 

leads off from the dining space. 

With plenty of bench space, a walk-in pantry and 

quality appliances (including two ovens and space 

for a large refrigerator), the kitchen will please 

those who love to cook or entertain. Its u-shaped 

configuration and ample cabinetry ensure there is a 

space for everything. Vinyl planking in the kitchen, 

dining and living area add to the practicality. 

The feeling of spaciousness is enhanced with 

a 2.55 metre stud height throughout the home. 

Thought has also gone into the bedroom layout. 

“We positioned the master bedroom to be a 

retreat,” explains Jamie Cowan who with his wife 

Francesca, own Build7 Christchurch. 

The master bedroom is indeed a haven. In 

addition to a walk-in robe, it has additional built in 

shelving and full length mirror in its entryway, as 

well as an ensuite and sliders out to the deck. 

Both the main bathroom and the ensuite have 

fully tiled floors. The shower in the ensuite has 

tiled walls and floor, a hanging vanity and a toilet. 

The main bathroom has shower, bath and hanging 

vanity, while the separate toilet has its own small 

vanity. 

Consideration has gone into the home’s design 

and features. There are details like a built-in seat 

conveniently placed in the passageway by the garage 

so there is somewhere to take the boots off. There is 

good storage with generous cabinetry in the kitchen, 

attic storage trusses in the garage, and a linen 

cupboard close to the separate laundry. Plenty of 

windows and skylights ensure lots of natural light. 

The home’s in-vogue colour scheme will also be 

of interest to many viewers. The external cladding 

is Midland Subiaco brick offset with metal feature 

cladding which matches the long-run Colorsteel 

Flaxpod roofing. 

Constructed to Build7’s lifestyle specification, the 

showhome reflects middle to higher quality features 

and fittings. 

Build7’s new Flemington 

showhome is located at 29 Craig 

Thompson Drive in Lincoln. To view, 

call Tony on 027 858 8489.
