Ambulance<br />
services<br />
merge<br />
to boost<br />
coverage<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
AMBULANCE services in<br />
Ellesmere, Rolleston and Darfield<br />
have merged in a bid to give better<br />
coverage to the district.<br />
These three areas have combined<br />
to create the St John <strong>Selwyn</strong> area<br />
committee, which consists of<br />
about 50 people, some of whom are<br />
volunteers and some paid staff.<br />
The merge will mean St John<br />
staff based in Rolleston will now be<br />
available to attend calls in Leeston,<br />
Darfield and other parts of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
and Canterbury when volunteers<br />
from these areas are unavailable.<br />
Ambulances previously had to<br />
travel from Christchurch to attend<br />
calls in these areas when this happened.<br />
Said chairwoman of the area<br />
committee Ann Shepherd: “Rolleston<br />
can cover Leeston and Darfield<br />
if we don’t have any volunteers<br />
working that day.<br />
“You’re going to get a far better<br />
service and far better outcome.”<br />
The area committee will also be<br />
available for calls from Prebbleton<br />
all the way through to Waimakariri,<br />
Rakaia and Arthur’s Pass.<br />

ST JOHN has come up with<br />
a common sense way to<br />
better its coverage in parts of<br />
the district (see page 1).<br />
Volunteers and paid St<br />
John staff are now part<br />
of a group which covers<br />
Ellesmere, Rolleston<br />
and Darfield, meaning<br />
volunteers and paid staff can<br />
get to emergencies in each<br />
other’s patch when things<br />
get stretched.<br />
Shepherd said ambulance<br />
staff from the areas that<br />
are merging attend about<br />
150 callouts combined a<br />
week. About 50 per cent<br />
of these are medical calls<br />
and the other half are<br />
emergency events such as<br />
car crashes.<br />
But why all the secrecy<br />
over when Lincoln will get<br />
an ambulance that will be<br />
based at the fire station (see<br />
page 4)?<br />
The public has the right to<br />
know.<br />

In Brief<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
MORE PEOPLE wanted a<br />
Countdown in Lincoln than<br />
those who opposed it.<br />
But that hasn’t stopped an<br />
independent commissioner<br />
turning down a resource consent<br />
to build a Countdown in the<br />
Flemington estate on Birchs Rd.<br />
Independent commissioner<br />
David Caldwell said in his<br />
decision: “I have found there<br />
are adverse effects on the local<br />
residents and<br />
the wider<br />
environment. I<br />
do not consider<br />
those effects<br />
are properly<br />
avoided,<br />
remedied or<br />
Shane<br />
Kennedy<br />
mitigated,”<br />
The district<br />
council<br />
received 72<br />
submissions in response to the<br />
resource consent application<br />
when it went out for public consultation.<br />
Forty-seven supported the<br />
development, twenty-three submissions<br />
were in opposition and<br />
two were neutral.<br />
Flemington developer Shane<br />
Kennedy, who applied for the<br />
consent on behalf of Lincoln<br />
Developments Ltd, said he is<br />
disappointed it was declined<br />
because he believes it is the only<br />
suitable empty site for a new<br />
supermarket in Lincoln.<br />
He said it is much needed<br />
to serve Lincoln’s growing<br />
population, which is now at<br />
about 7000, but would not say<br />
if he will appeal the decision to<br />
decline it.<br />
“Of course it was disappointing,<br />
and very disappointing<br />
because the area needs another<br />
supermarket and, unfortunately,<br />
everyone’s struggling to find a<br />
location for one,” Kennedy said.<br />
Said a Countdown spokeswoman:<br />
“We know there’s a lot<br />
of support for a Countdown in<br />
Lincoln so we’re obviously disappointed<br />
by the decision.<br />
“We’re currently reviewing<br />
this to determine next steps and<br />
are unlikely to comment further<br />
at this stage while we work<br />
through this.”<br />
Kennedy said it is too early to<br />
know what the site will be used<br />
for other than a supermarket,<br />
but it would be suitable for a<br />
block of about 12 residential<br />
houses.<br />
Some Flemington residents<br />
did not want the supermarket<br />
because of its close proximity to<br />
a residential subdivision.<br />
Residents were worried about<br />
potential noise and traffic issues<br />
NO GO: The<br />
resource<br />
consent for a<br />

being created by the supermarket<br />
and thought it would be an<br />
eyesore.<br />
Said Kennedy: “From a noise<br />
point of view, I don’t think it’s<br />
any different than any other<br />
supermarket and I’ve never been<br />
to a noisy one yet.”<br />
He said affected residents’<br />
concerns were considered<br />
within the resource consent<br />
application.<br />
However, these concerns were<br />
factors in Caldwell’s decision to<br />
decline the resource consent.<br />
The 3063m 2 supermarket was<br />
proposed to be open from 7am<br />
and 10pm seven days a week.<br />
ANIMAL RULES<br />
The consultation period for the<br />
public to have their say on a<br />
draft bylaw outlining the rules<br />
for having animals (excluding<br />
dogs) in the district ends on<br />
November 6. The draft bylaw<br />
aims to set standards for the<br />
keeping of animals including<br />
stock, poultry, bees and cats.<br />

St John tight-lipped<br />
on Lincoln service<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THERE IS uncertainty over<br />
when an ambulance will start<br />
serving the Lincoln area from the<br />
town’s fire station.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> revealed in August<br />
an ambulance will be based<br />
at the Lincoln Fire Station and is<br />
likely to be on-call between 10am<br />
and 10pm.<br />
But St John will still not say<br />
when the ambulance service will<br />
start.<br />
“I have spoken to our district<br />
operations manager regarding the<br />
staging of an ambulance in Lincoln<br />
and we have nothing to say on<br />
this at the moment,” said St John<br />
spokesman Gerard Campbell.<br />
Lincoln’s chief fire officer<br />
Jeremy Greenwood said: “I’m<br />
still waiting on St John to come<br />
Josh Bashford<br />
& Fatu Feu’u<br />
up with a bit of a plan on start<br />
times.”<br />
Greenwood and other staff<br />
at the station were told about a<br />
month ago the ambulance service<br />
would start “within a month or<br />
so,” he said.<br />
Currently, there are St John<br />
ambulances based at Rolleston<br />
and Darfield.<br />
Last year, the station in Rolleston<br />
became staffed 24/7 meaning<br />
it has one ambulance service operating<br />
24 hours a day, seven days<br />
a week and a second ambulance<br />
on a 12-hour day shift from midmorning<br />
to mid-evening.<br />

Bid to boost response time<br />
• From page 1<br />
Shepherd said ambulance staff<br />
from the areas that are merging<br />
attended 2948 callouts last year.<br />
About 50 per cent of these are<br />
medical calls and the other half<br />
are emergency events like car<br />
crashes.<br />
“Being in the rural areas, some<br />
of those [vehicle] accidents can<br />
be pretty horrendous because<br />
they’re in 100km/h areas,” said<br />
Shepherd.<br />
Volunteer<br />

Icons will feature in new reserve<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
SOUTHBRIDGE Reserve<br />
reopened on Friday after major<br />
upgrades.<br />
New pathways, picnic tables,<br />
lawns and a mix of native and<br />
exotic plantings have been<br />
installed near the playground.<br />
New playground<br />
equipment<br />
and safety<br />
surface were<br />
installed last year<br />
in the first phase<br />
of the upgrade.<br />
Wayne<br />
Palmer<br />
Restoration<br />
work on the<br />
Southbridge<br />
Hall, opposite the reserve, is set<br />
to begin next month.<br />
Southbridge advisory<br />
committee chairman Wayne<br />
Palmer said the reserve will<br />
be an asset to the community<br />
and a great gathering space,<br />
especially when the hall is<br />
restored.<br />
“There’s a lot of functions<br />
over [at] the hall, like ballet,<br />
where parents drop their kids<br />
off. They’re going to be able to<br />
go over there [the reserve] and<br />
sit down and have a picnic and<br />
if they’ve got younger kids,<br />
they can obviously play on the<br />
playground.<br />
“It’s just going to a bit of an area<br />
where people can gather and have<br />
a yarn, basically,” he said.<br />
Palmer said some reserve upgrades<br />
are still to be completed,<br />
including the installation of a<br />
paved courtyard area with three<br />
panels celebrating the history of<br />
Southbridge.<br />
These panels will include information<br />
on the town’s sporting<br />
icons such as Dan Carter and<br />
information on where old landmarks<br />
in the town like churches<br />
used to be.<br />
They will be installed at a later<br />
date.<br />
The reserve will also be the<br />
site of the town’s first war<br />
memorial, which design work<br />
is under way on and Palmer<br />
hopes will be installed “within<br />
the next six months.”<br />
Palmer said the memorial will<br />
have names of soldiers from<br />
Southbridge who fought in<br />
World War 1 and 2.<br />
The full cost of the reserve<br />
upgrades is not yet known but<br />
will be when the panels and<br />
war memorial are in place, he<br />
said.<br />
NEW: Southbridge<br />
Reserve is reopen<br />
after an upgrade<br />
and more<br />
improvements<br />
will be made<br />
in the coming<br />
months, including<br />
the installation<br />
of panels with<br />
information on<br />
the town’s history,<br />
such as its sporting<br />
legends, including<br />
Dan Carter.<br />

Family photos show Canterbury’s history<br />
FAMILY SLIDESHOW evenings<br />
held in a darkened lounge are<br />
a fond, nostalgic memory for<br />
Christchurch woman Isabel<br />
Tweedy.<br />
Her late father Ian Tweedy was<br />
a hobby photographer who took<br />
thousands of slide photographs<br />
in his lifetime, recording family<br />
holidays, picnics and tramping<br />
trips.<br />
Some of his images from the<br />
1950s, 60s and 70s have been<br />
added to Christchurch City<br />
Libraries’ archives and after Ms<br />
Tweedy sorted through her dad’s<br />
collection and realised some<br />
would have a wider interest and<br />
historic significance. A selection<br />
can be seen on the discovery wall<br />
at Tūranga.<br />
She has sent <strong>28</strong> slides to the<br />
libraries’ photo hunt, which is<br />
being held for the 12th year as<br />
part of the Christchurch Heritage<br />
NOSTALGIC: Isabel Tweedy with a photograph of her<br />
young self. Right: Ian Tweedy’s photo shows Ms Tweedy<br />
and her mother in front of the Royal Yacht Britannia at<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
Festival from Saturday until<br />
Sunday, November 8.<br />
“I remember how exciting it<br />
was when a new box of slides<br />
arrived,” Ms Tweedy says.<br />
“Dad would put them all in<br />
order and we’d get friends around<br />
to watch them with a break in the<br />
middle for a cup of tea and some<br />
baking. The slides are a record of<br />
our childhood.”<br />
Her father meticulously<br />
labelled each slide with dates,<br />
names and places and kept<br />
them in wooden cases he made<br />
himself.<br />
Some of Mr Tweedy’s photos<br />
entered in the photo hunt show a<br />
family sledding on Lake Ida, Ms<br />
Tweedy and her mother standing<br />
in front of the Royal Yacht<br />
Britannia at Lyttelton wharf<br />
when Queen Elizabeth visited<br />
for the British Commonwealth<br />
Games in 1974, and the Hay’s<br />
Christmas Parade.<br />
Others show a horse-drawn<br />
tram on the Papanui line, the<br />
Wings and Wheels air show<br />
at Wigram and Ms Tweedy’s<br />
sister and a friend pushing a<br />
lawnmower as children.<br />
One taken from the Christ<br />
Church Cathedral spire, looking<br />
down Colombo St, won a<br />
commendation in a 2016 photo<br />
hunt, and one taken in Victoria<br />
Square at night won the overall<br />
prize the same year.<br />
Christchurch City Council<br />
head of libraries Carolyn<br />
Robertson says the theme of<br />
this year’s hunt is encounter our<br />
stories and the goal is to gather<br />
a wide collection of photographs<br />
from across the community.<br />
“These images reveal unique,<br />
personal stories and they’re a<br />
great way to bring Canterbury’s<br />
heritage to life in a way people<br />
can really relate to. Mr Tweedy’s<br />
photos are a vivid record of family<br />
experiences and local history<br />
going back seven decades.”<br />
Photo hunt images are<br />
uploaded to the discovery wall at<br />
Tūranga Central Library and can<br />
be seen by visitors keen to learn<br />
more about the city.<br />
Ms Tweedy says her father<br />
would be surprised and quietly<br />
pleased that his images are being<br />
shared.<br />
“We knew that they were well<br />
worth saving. But he would be<br />
absolutely astounded to know<br />
they are now being held as<br />
historic records.<br />
“He was a very humble man<br />
and he didn’t have a lot to say but<br />
photography was a real interest<br />
for him. He would be very<br />
embarrassed but quietly pleased.”<br />

Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District Plan<br />
Because<br />
it matters.<br />
How does it affect you?<br />
Looking after our<br />
natural environment<br />
How can we<br />
look after native<br />
flora and fauna?<br />
Mike, ecologist from Lincoln<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> is an area rich with natural features and landscapes, from the Canterbury Plains and<br />
Southern Alps to the Rakaia and Waimakariri rivers and the coastal lagoon of Te Waihora/<br />
Lake Ellesmere. It’s important that our natural environment is protected from inappropriate<br />
land use and development, while at the same time ensuring it continues contributing to<br />
people’s economic and social wellbeing.<br />
Key proposed changes – natural environment:<br />
· A larger area of the district is identified with landscape value that needs<br />
protection from inappropriate land use and development.<br />
· The level of management of a protected landscape area will depend on<br />
its values. For example, some areas are proposed to have restrictions<br />
on earthworks; others will have restrictions on shelterbelts, vineyards or<br />
orchards where that would change the naturalness of the area.<br />
· Introducing indigenous biodiversity areas on the planning map within the<br />
Proposed ePlan where rules managing indigenous biodiversity apply.<br />
· Voluntary listing of significant natural areas in the District Plan.<br />
· For the first time we are identifying the habitat of two indigenous animal<br />
species (Canterbury mudfish and crested grebe) which will be protected.<br />
· New rules for managing clearance of indigenous vegetation.<br />
· Mapping coastal environment areas for the first time where further<br />
restrictions on various activities are being introduced.<br />
· Introducing specific rules that manage sky glow across the district,<br />
such as a district-wide rule that lighting is to be directed downward and<br />
shielded from above.<br />

ROLLESTON TOY Library may<br />
soon be homeless after being<br />
open for less than a year.<br />
New Zealand’s newest toy<br />
library has been based at Storage<br />
King on Izone Drive, Rolleston<br />
since former owners Chris and<br />
Ayyam O’Brien offered free use<br />
of three storage units and one of<br />
their delivery trucks.<br />
It is New Zealand’s only solely<br />
online click and collect toy<br />
library and it opened in January.<br />
It has grown significantly and<br />
now more than 60 families use<br />
it.<br />
The library initially operated<br />
its toy pick-up and drop-off<br />
sessions from the Rolleston<br />
Community Centre car park<br />
but winter weather and an<br />
expanding membership<br />
meant that this soon became<br />
impractical.<br />
Chris and Ayyam offered the<br />
use of their office for Sunday toy<br />
pick-up and drop-off sessions.<br />
The new Rolleston Storage<br />
King owners are unable to<br />
support the arrangement, and<br />
toy library volunteers have had<br />
to temporarily suspend their<br />
service while they search for an<br />
alternative solution.<br />
Said toy library publicity and<br />
promotions officer Michelle Sim:<br />
“We are incredibly grateful to<br />
Chris and Ayyam for helping us<br />
get off the ground.<br />
“However, we now have more<br />
than 60 members, with more<br />
wishing to join, and we’re very<br />
conscious about ensuring we can<br />
deliver reliable service for them.<br />
We’re pulling out all stops to try<br />
to find a new home,” she said.<br />
This is proving to be an uphill<br />
battle due to strict district<br />
council regulations and the fact<br />
that the non-profit group have<br />
limited funds, as it is still in its<br />
first year of operation.<br />

Toy library after new home<br />
UNSURE FUTURE: Rolleston Toy Library may no longer be open for members like Sam<br />
McConnell (right) if it can’t find a new home. Left: Toy library committee member Hannah<br />
Jozko.<br />
“Obviously we are doing our<br />
best to raise funds to help meet<br />
potential rent costs.<br />
“But we’d be thrilled if<br />
someone in our community was<br />
able to support us in any way<br />
to ensure we can continue this<br />
valuable service for our local<br />
families,” said Sim.<br />
Library volunteers are on<br />
the lookout for a space such as<br />
a garage, shed, office or small<br />
warehouse to house their toys<br />
and allow members to come and<br />
collect and drop off their loans.<br />

Intersection<br />
work on<br />
Rolleston Drive<br />
under way<br />
FOOTPATH AND road<br />
changes around a new<br />
Rolleston intersection are<br />
now under way.<br />
Work will be taking place<br />
on the shoulder of Rolleston<br />
Drive and Norman Kirk Drive,<br />
where the intersection is, for the<br />
remainder of the year.<br />
As part of this, there will be<br />
layout changes to footpaths and<br />
roads around Rolleston Drive,<br />
Norman Kirk Drive and Dryden<br />
Ave.<br />
Work took place on footpath<br />
on the western side of Rolleston<br />
Drive last week.<br />
Norman Kirk Drive is<br />
scheduled to be closed in the<br />
first week of November on the<br />
corner south of <strong>Selwyn</strong> Health<br />
Hub. The district council<br />
recommends entering Norman<br />
Kirk Drive via Kidman St.<br />
This project will require speed<br />
restrictions or closing one lane<br />
of Rolleston Drive.<br />
There will be onsite signage<br />
advising of any major changes<br />
coming up and this will also be<br />
available by calling the district<br />
council, or on its Facebook page<br />
and website.<br />

The survey showed that conditions<br />
have been tough but <strong>Selwyn</strong> businesses<br />
reported better operating conditions<br />
than the rest of New Zealand.<br />
Many guests spoke about the benefits<br />
of meeting with other businesses to<br />
know they were facing similar challenges<br />
and opportunities.<br />
Said Rolleston hair dressing salon<br />
owner Margaret Craw: “It’s a great<br />
thing to do to get everyone together<br />
and realise you’re not out there on<br />
your own. I’ve picked up quite a lot<br />
of information on how things are<br />
for everyone.”<br />
Ministry of Social Development<br />
regional commissioner for<br />
Canterbury Dianne McDermott<br />
spoke about support available to<br />
help businesses through the impacts<br />
of the pandemic.<br />

FOUR LINCOLN University<br />
students have won a global<br />
food marketing competition<br />
featuring teams from<br />
universities all over the world.<br />
First year student Grace<br />
Moscrip is studying for a<br />
bachelor of agricultural<br />
science, while her teammates<br />
Emma Ritchie and Grace<br />
Mainwaring, who are also<br />
first years, and Lincoln Roper,<br />
who is in his third year, are all<br />
working towards a bachelor<br />
of agribusiness and food<br />
marketing.<br />
The group acted as<br />
consultants in the <strong>2020</strong><br />
International Food Marketing<br />
Challenge, which was run by<br />
The Food Distribution Research<br />
Society.<br />
All teams who took part<br />
in the challenge were given<br />
the same task – to develop a<br />
strategy and implementation<br />
plan for a Florida-based fruit<br />
and vegetable distributor that<br />
had been affected by Covid-19<br />
lockdowns.<br />
They then submitted 10min<br />
videos, outlining their strategic<br />
recommendations, and a panel<br />
of judges evaluated the presentations.<br />
With only three weeks to<br />
develop their solution, the<br />
Lincoln team made the recommendation<br />
to divest from food<br />

a digital information system to<br />
build better supply.<br />
Said Roper: “We were working<br />
on a completely different<br />
solution originally and then we<br />
decided to turn it on its head<br />
and do something different.<br />
“We weren’t sure whether the<br />
judges were going to understand<br />
where we were coming from,<br />
in which case we figured we<br />
wouldn’t even make the finals,<br />
but it turned out they liked our<br />

The team received some tips<br />
along the way from Lincoln<br />

a bachelor of agribusiness<br />
and food marketing in 2017.<br />
She now works in capability<br />

she heard the news.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates).<br />
Each week he introduces a new species found<br />
in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to<br />
raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety<br />
of living things around us. Check out the full<br />
list of invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.<br />

Readers respond to<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> articles<br />
on the new Southern<br />
Motorwary on-ramp<br />
Our ongoing concerns about<br />
safety all stem from the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency‘s<br />
original design of how to move<br />
Lincoln traffic onto the new<br />
motorway.<br />
In the original plan, Lincoln<br />
traffic was to use Hamptons Rd<br />
as a path of least resistance onto<br />
Shands Rd with no access to the<br />
motorway through Prebbleton,<br />
only via the Shands Rd on-ramp,<br />
hence no on-ramp to the motorway<br />
off Halswell Junction Rd.<br />
I was told this by an NZTA<br />
representative at an information<br />
evening for the proposed motorway.<br />
So now the motorway is<br />
open there are serious deficiencies<br />
in design and operation of<br />
the whole roading network in<br />
and around Prebbleton clearly<br />
driven by the growth in the area.<br />
– Chris White<br />
Moth controls ragwort<br />
A SLENDER moth that forms<br />
a T shape when resting is the<br />
hoary plume moth known by<br />
entomologists as platyptilia<br />
isodactylus.<br />
With a wingspan of 19-29mm<br />
this moth is pale fawn to brown<br />
in colour with pointed wing tips.<br />
Known also as the ragwort<br />
plume moth, this species is native<br />
to central and southern Europe,<br />
Mediterranean, North Africa and<br />
was introduced to Australia as a<br />
biocontrol agent of ragwort.<br />
The larvae of the moth feed on<br />
groundsels or senecio species.<br />
The plume moth species has<br />
two generations, with moths<br />
active in spring and autumn.<br />
Females have a life expectancy<br />
of roughly 12 days and can lay<br />
about 100 eggs in that time.<br />
Young larvae feed on leaves<br />
initially before tunnelling into<br />
the plant stem, while older larvae<br />
also feed on crown and roots.<br />

While Malcolm Lyall is<br />
complaining about the route<br />
to Prebbleton being dangerous<br />
he should also know that a<br />
roundabout is planned for the<br />
Marshs Rd/Springs Rd corner<br />
which will be the obvious way to<br />
Prebbleton then.<br />
I would have thought a valid<br />
complaint could be made about<br />
Shands Rd ending up with three<br />
traffic lights when the original<br />
design was for it to be free flowing.<br />
It saved building a bridge<br />
on Marshs Rd but is another<br />
obstacle in peak traffic. – Clive<br />

Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> returns<br />
with fresh stories<br />
Teacher, artist, gardener, farmer, Kaumātua, storyteller – Denise Sheat has many strings to her bow.<br />
“That’s why I am 83,” she laughs. “I’ve done a few ten years around the place.”<br />
Denise’s story is part of the second Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> exhibition. A dozen fresh stories celebrating<br />
the district’s diversity are on display at the Council offices in Rolleston this week and will then be<br />
displayed in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries.<br />
Denise moved to husband John’s Dunsandel family farm in 1962 and after having two children,<br />
she taught tamariki at Dunsandel and then Burnham Primary School.<br />
The multicultural roll at Burnham School had strong significance to Denise, whose bicultural<br />
background includes descent from a Ngāi Tahu chiefly line. She began to participate at <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
Ngāti Moki Marae at Taumutu and became fluent in Te Reo Māori.<br />
“I found it quite hard to learn, but it’s a beautiful language and lovely to sing. Teaching the children<br />
the songs in schools was pure heaven.”<br />
Denise then became a resource teacher of Māori in <strong>Selwyn</strong> for the Ministry of Education.<br />
“I went to all of the schools in <strong>Selwyn</strong> to tell them stories and I usually went singing in the car all<br />
the way too. I was so happy to drive to Darfield or Springfield,” she recalls.<br />
She went on to lecture in Māori at Christchurch’s College of Education, became Taumutu’s<br />
Kaikaranga – the ceremonial caller, and later Taumutu’s kaumātua - a respected elder of the<br />
marae, and turned Dunsandel’s old church into a craft shop.<br />
In 2010, Denise moved to Rolleston, serving on the establishment boards of Clearview and West<br />
Rolleston primary schools. In 2015, she became an officer of New Zealand’s Order of Merit for her<br />
work in education and for Māori.<br />
Denise now works as a kaumātua, paints, gardens and meets the rangatahi and tamariki in her<br />
neighbourhood. She only hopes she hasn’t left it too late to write a book for her whānau about her<br />
life adventures.<br />
Draft Bylaw for Keeping of Animals, Poultry and<br />
Bees consultation closing soon<br />
There’s still time to have your say on proposed rules for keeping animals, poultry and bees in our<br />
urban areas.<br />
As <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s population grows, especially in our townships, so does the number of pets and animals we<br />
have. Which is why the Council has developed a draft bylaw on the keeping of animals, poultry and bees.<br />
The draft bylaw will help manage issues to do with the keeping of animals (excluding dogs), poultry and<br />
bees, in urban areas of <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
Submissions are open until 5pm Friday 6 November.<br />
You can read the draft bylaw and make a submission online at selwyn.govt.nz/animalbylaw. Or you can<br />
download a submission form and email it to animalbylaw@selwyn.govt.nz or post to: The Regulatory<br />
Manager, <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council, Bylaw for Keeping Animals, PO Box 90, Rolleston 7643.<br />
The Proposed District<br />
Plan – looking after our<br />
natural environment<br />
On a farm near Southbridge, two streams and some careful tending<br />
are helping bring back some of the region’s natural heritage.<br />
The Inwood Farm is home to one of 71 Significant Natural Areas<br />
(SNAs) in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, where landowners and the Council work to<br />
protect and restore native biodiversity. In the case of Alison and<br />
Stuart Inwood this corridor of cabbage trees, flax, carex, ferns and<br />
other native vegetation along the banks of The Hei Hei and the Lee<br />
River which run through their farm.<br />
The couple first began protecting the area in 2016 when they saw<br />
the opportunity for riparian plantings of locally sourced native<br />
species. The Council began supporting them through its <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
Natural Environment Fund in 2018 when an ecological survey<br />
showed the huge value of the area.<br />
The plants provide food for native birds and insects, and protect<br />
and raise the water quality of the streams, providing a habitat for<br />
fish and other wildlife. It is hoped their care could encourage more<br />
native birds back to the Canterbury Plains.<br />
The Council helps protect our natural environment both by working<br />
with landowners such as the Inwoods and by setting rules to<br />
protect it from inappropriate land use and development through<br />
the District Plan.<br />
The Proposed District Plan, out for public consultation now, makes<br />
a number of changes to how the natural environment is protected.<br />
It identifies indigenous biodiversity areas, applying new rules for the<br />
clearance of indigenous vegetation and to protect the habitats of<br />
the crested grebe and Canterbury mudfish.<br />
Listing of sites like the Inwood’s as SNAs in the Proposed Plan is<br />
voluntary. The Council works collaboratively with landowners to<br />
try and achieve long-term protection of SNAs and other areas of<br />
indigenous biodiversity.<br />
The Proposed Plan also adds new rules to identify and protect<br />
our coastal environment, including the margins of Te Waihora/<br />
Lake Ellesmere and adjusts the rules around areas identified as<br />
Outstanding Natural Landscapes or Visual Amenity Landscapes.<br />
You can find out more and make a submission until 5pm Friday 11<br />
December at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.<br />

A celebration walk marked the end of 10 days of SWELL events and activities drawing hundreds of<br />
older <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents.<br />
The walk through Lincoln’s walking tracks and reserves with a talk from a Council biodiversity officer<br />
marked the end of 79 different workshops, talks and activities for this year’s SWELL, aimed at helping<br />
older residents live well.<br />
Particularly popular events included the Have a Go Days from over 25 clubs. Fitness activities such as<br />
sit and be fit, Tai Chi and aqua aerobics classes also drew attention, with new members signing up for<br />
long-term classes.<br />
In particular, the Zumba Gold class was such a hit with participants, it prompted the Council to organise<br />
its first weekly class to be held on Fridays at the Lincoln Event Centre.<br />
Senior District Sports and Recreation Programme Coordinator Linda Miratana says the class focuses on<br />
balance, range of motion and coordination.<br />
“It is super fun and great for both body and mind. The instructor describes it as 45 mins of low intensity<br />
dance fun, rather than feeling like a physical workout.”<br />

Rolleston Transport Improvements Project<br />
community update<br />
Where are we at?<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is working closely with <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and KiwiRail, to<br />
develop an integrated transport plan for the Rolleston and Burnham area. The long-term (30 year)<br />
programme of improvements will be implemented in stages.<br />
The plan centres on travel improvement options between Burnham and the State Highway 1 Weedons<br />
Road Interchange and is designed to improve safety and access for residents, businesses and freight.<br />
The project was allocated $60M funding by the Government earlier this year as part of the New Zealand<br />
Upgrade Programme (NZUP), a range of transport projects to get our cities and regions moving, save<br />
lives and boost productivity.<br />
These include:<br />
A SH1 flyover – with pedestrian and cycle access<br />
Safety improvements to SH1 intersections – between Rolleston Drive north and and Walkers Road/<br />
Dunns Crossing Road.<br />
The improvements will assist local growth and the wider economic prosperity of the region.<br />
Construction is expected to begin in 2022 and continue through to 2025.<br />
What’s next?<br />
From 2022 to 2025<br />
SH1 Rolleston flyover with walking and cycling facilities, a new<br />
service lane parallel to SH1 and an off-road cycleway to Burnham<br />
Longer term<br />
Additional intersection safety improvements and better access<br />
for pedestrians, cyclists and buses<br />
What is the long-term plan?<br />
The Rolleston Transport Improvements Project is near the end of the ‘Programme Business Case’<br />
phase. This is where the planners, transport engineers and other technical staff assess extensive work<br />
done to date and develop a mix of alternatives and options, with input from transport partners and key<br />
stakeholder groups. Work planned in surrounding and connected areas is also factored in. While some<br />
of the detail is still to be worked through, like funding and timing, the long-term programme (30-years)<br />
maps Rolleston and Burnham’s future transport needs and helps us plan and prioritise.<br />
The plan is to:<br />
Increase safety – reduce transport related deaths and serious injuries (particularly at state highway<br />
intersections) and provide safer facilities for pedestrians and cyclists<br />
Improve liveability and connectivity – increase access to economic and social opportunities and have<br />
more transport choices available locally<br />
Improve transport network reliability and more sustainable journeys – make improvements to<br />
support lower carbon travel options for people moving around and through Rolleston and Burnham, the<br />
Rolleston Industrial Area and for rail freight on the Main South Line.<br />
The programme includes a number of intersection improvements, a local service lane running parallel to<br />
SH1, level crossing upgrades and greater provision for pedestrians, cyclists and buses – for example: a<br />
new park and ride facility.<br />
Once the Rolleston Transport Improvements Programme Business Case is endorsed by Waka Kotahi,<br />
the programme will be refined by further investigation and input from the community. We will provide<br />
updates as the project progresses.<br />

WINE LOVERS of a certain age<br />
will remember references to a<br />
characteristic called “Kiwi green”.<br />
No, I’m not talking about<br />
another mind-altering<br />
substance now under debate,<br />
but a pronounced green, leafy,<br />
capsicum note that was prevalent<br />
in cabernet-based New Zealand<br />
reds from the 80s and 90s.<br />
It is derived from a<br />
chemical compound called<br />
methoxypyrazine, which is also<br />
found in sauvignon blanc.<br />
Discussion during the tasting<br />
centred on the eradication of<br />
this character, with the increased<br />

Make some marvellous muffins<br />
A QUICK AND tasty snack,<br />
muffins are popular with just<br />
about everyone and these sweet,<br />
moist date and bran muffins have<br />
the advantage of being high in<br />
fibre as well as delicious.<br />
The date mixture has to be cool<br />
before you add it so make it in<br />
advance. You can speed up the<br />
cooling time by placing the pot of<br />
hot dates in a sink of cold water.<br />
And, of course we all know<br />
that, when it comes to muffins,<br />
the less mixing of the batter that<br />
you can get away with, the better.<br />
Bran and Date Muffins<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup dates<br />
¾ cup boiling water<br />
½ cup brown sugar<br />
1¼ cup plain flour<br />
1 cup bran flakes<br />
½ cup brown sugar<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
2 tsp baking powder<br />
1 egg<br />
1/3 cup melted butter<br />
1 cup milk<br />
Directions<br />
Begin by making the date mixture.<br />
Rinse the dates well to get<br />
rid of any dust or dirt and chop<br />
finely. Place them, along with the<br />
boiling water and the first measure<br />
of brown sugar into a small<br />
saucepan.<br />
Bring to the boil and simmer<br />
for about 10min. Give them the<br />
odd stir so that they don’t stick to<br />
the bottom. They should be nice<br />
and thick by then. Leave to cool<br />
before adding to the rest of the<br />
ingredients.<br />
Preheat your oven to 200 deg<br />
C.<br />
In a large mixing bowl, mix<br />
together the flour, bran, salt, baking<br />
powder and second measure<br />
of brown sugar.<br />
Lightly beat the egg and add to<br />
the milk and melted butter. Into<br />
this, stir the cooled, cooked dates.<br />
Add the wet ingredients to the<br />
dry mixture and stir until only<br />
just combined. The mixture will<br />
be quite wet.<br />
Line a 12-hole muffin pan with<br />
paper cups and spoon in the<br />
muffin mix. Cook for 15-20min<br />
or until the muffins are just firm<br />
when lightly pressed.<br />
Feta and Tomato Muffins<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups plain flour<br />
3 tsp baking powder<br />
¼ tsp salt<br />
2 eggs<br />
1/3 cup butter<br />
1 cup milk<br />
1 cup grated tasty cheese<br />
4-5 dried tomatoes in oil<br />
100g feta cheese<br />
a small handful of parsley or<br />
basil leaves<br />
Directions<br />
OPTIONS:<br />
These date and<br />
bran muffins<br />
are nutritious<br />
and tasy. Try<br />
the feta and<br />
tomato or<br />
cheese and<br />
onion muffins<br />
next time.<br />
Line a 12-hole muffin pan with<br />
paper cases and preheat your<br />
oven to 190 deg C.<br />
Place the flour, baking powder<br />
and salt into a large bowl.<br />
Add the grated cheese and mix<br />
through so that it is well dispersed.<br />
Melt the butter and mix it with<br />
the lightly beaten eggs and milk.<br />
Break the feta into smallish<br />
pieces and gently stir it through<br />
the egg mix along with the finely<br />
chopped tomatoes, basil or parsley.<br />
Add this wet mix to the dry<br />
ingredients and stir lightly so that<br />
it is only just mixed through.<br />
Spoon into the muffin cups and<br />
bake for 10-15min.<br />
There are a number of<br />
variations that work well with<br />
this recipe. You can add a little<br />
chopped ham, salami or cooked<br />
bacon if you wish or cut out the<br />
feta and add your own favourite<br />
cheese.<br />
Cheese and Onion<br />
Muffins<br />
Just leave out the feta and<br />
tomatoes from the previous<br />
recipe and replace them with<br />
a couple of finely sliced onions<br />
that have been cooked in the<br />
microwave or a pan, with a little<br />
butter until very soft. The onion<br />
becomes lovely and sweet and<br />
makes the muffins moist as well.<br />
Add about half a cup extra of<br />
grated cheese.<br />

Mercedes SUV can be sporty or tame<br />
THERE’S BEEN a lot of debate in<br />
the Star Media newsroom lately as<br />
to what constitutes a four-wheeldrive<br />
vehicle.<br />
When reporting, there’s a general<br />
belief that anything that sits high<br />
and looks like an enlarged station<br />
wagon is a 4WD.<br />
Of course, that’s not the case,<br />
many of today’s tall wagons just<br />
have drive to front or rear wheels<br />
only, and they fall into the category<br />
of sport utility vehicles. To complicate<br />
the matter many SUVs do have<br />
four-wheel-drive.<br />
One car which squarely fits into<br />
the SUV and 4WD categories,<br />
and adds a luxury element as well,<br />
is Mercedes-Benz’s GLA 250, an<br />
entirely new model that has just<br />
landed in New Zealand.<br />
The GLA has been a steady seller<br />
for the brand, and the newcomer<br />
will easily pick-up where its predecessor<br />
left off.<br />
At just over 4.4m the GLA is<br />
firstly a compact SUV, but one<br />
that is versatile and capable as an<br />
all round family vehicle, and one<br />
which can be sporty or tame all in<br />
the one package.<br />
The GLA lands here in four variants<br />
depending on power outputs,<br />
all engines have four-cylinders. The<br />
200 (2WD) has a 1.3-litre unit, the<br />
250, AMG 35 and AMG 45 S have<br />
the same basic 2-litre engine with<br />
varying power outputs depending<br />
on how much turbo boost<br />
you require as a driver and, as I’ve<br />
alluded to, those three models get<br />
Mercedes Benz’s 4Matic all-corner<br />
drive system.<br />
The GLA 250 lists at $86,500;<br />
others in the range start at $73,300<br />
and end at $126,400 for the full<br />
noise 45 S.<br />
In recent years I’ve evaluated several<br />
Mercedes-Benz vehicles with<br />
the low power 2-litre turbocharged<br />
engine, and have never been disappointed.<br />
The GLA 250 sits with that<br />
well, it is capable and competent,<br />
it’s just that it doesn’t have the massive<br />
injection of power that comes<br />
with its AMG stablemates.<br />
Interior features are extensive<br />
and too numerous to mention<br />
but I must make mention of the<br />
large centre screen display which<br />
flows across the dash panel, much<br />
like the size of two iPads joined<br />
together horizontally. Most of the<br />
in-cabin features can be controlled<br />
through it, but if you would prefer<br />
to make adjustments through voice<br />
command, a simple ‘hey Mercedes’<br />
will prompt a reply, and you can<br />
talk to the vehicle instructing it<br />
through a multitude of commands.<br />
Up front sits a 1991cc, twincamshaft,<br />
engine which is rated<br />
with 165kW and 350Nm of torque.<br />
On the subject of figures, it also<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250: Four-wheel-drive provides a<br />
feeling of control and balance.<br />
fares quite well with fuel usage,<br />
Mercedes-Benz claiming a 7.5-litre<br />
per 100km combined cycle average.<br />
During my testing time the<br />
trip computer was constantly<br />
listing around 8.5l/100km which<br />
wasn’t that far distant along with a<br />
5l/100km instantaneous reading at<br />
100km/h (engine speed 1500rpm).<br />
The GLA 250 drives through an<br />
eight-speed dual clutch automatic<br />
transmission. The low and close<br />
proximity of ratios allow for a solid,<br />
unbroken flow of power. When the<br />
pressure is on, the GLA 250 will<br />
launch to 100km/h from a standstill<br />
in 6.7sec and easily complete<br />
an 80km/h to 120km/h overtaking<br />
manoeuvre in 5sec. These<br />
are quick times and will satisfy<br />
the performance driver, when the<br />
turbo is boosting strongly the feel<br />
of power is dynamic, inviting spirited<br />
motoring.<br />
I took the test car through the<br />
gentle undulating twists and turns<br />
of the inland scenic route of the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> district, returning home<br />
through Dunsandel and Lincoln.<br />
The balance and feel of grip is quite<br />
phenomenal through some of those<br />
tight corners heading towards<br />
Ellesmere. Even though the 4Matic<br />
system only comes into play when<br />
grip at the front is marginal, there<br />
is a feeling through the driveline of<br />
control and balance.<br />
Fitted to the GLA 250 are high<br />
profile Continental tyres (235/50<br />
x 19in), and because of their tall<br />
structure they absorb a lot of road<br />
nuances, imparting high levels of<br />
in-cabin comfort. They are also<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km<br />
quiet and allow strong feedback at<br />
the steering wheel along with positive<br />
directional accuracy.<br />
With its 4Matic system the GLA<br />
250 has useful off-the-seal ability.<br />
I didn’t take it off-road bar for a<br />
short burst on a shingle track, but I<br />
can imagine it would be a great car<br />
to tackle the winter skifield access<br />
road or, as we come into summer,<br />
the perfect vehicle to travel to the<br />
peninsula batch.<br />
It is also a good example of why<br />
the word utility is part of the SUV<br />
acronym.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Look after your mower<br />
WITH THE mowing season<br />
upon us, it’s time to make sure<br />
your lawn mower is as ready as<br />
you are to tackle those lawn care<br />
chores.<br />
A regular, simple maintenance<br />
programme to keep your mower<br />
performing at its best and to<br />
extend its useful life. Just follow<br />
this easy checklist:<br />
•Change the oil<br />
Oil is the engine’s lifeblood that<br />
removes contaminants, lubricates<br />
parts and dissipates heat.<br />
That’s why it’s important to make<br />
sure the crankcase contains an<br />
adequate supply of fresh oil.<br />
Before changing the oil, run the<br />
engine for several minutes until it<br />
warms up. Then, stop the engine,<br />
disconnect the spark plug and<br />
drain the oil into a pan or similar<br />
container. Refill the crankcase<br />
with high quality detergent oil<br />
that has a SG/CD classification<br />
on the label. Take the used oil<br />
to a local recycling centre. It’s<br />
environmentally unfriendly and<br />
illegal to dump used motor oil<br />
on the ground or into a storm<br />
drain.<br />
•Check the air filter<br />
Your air-cooled engine needs<br />
a constant supply of clean air.<br />
If your mower engine takes a<br />
disposable paper filter, simply<br />
replace it with a new filter. If the<br />
engine requires a foam-type filter,<br />
remove the sponge from the filter<br />
assembly, soak it in kerosene and<br />
squeeze it dry. Then apply a few<br />
drops of clean oil into the sponge<br />
and place it back in the filter assembly.<br />
CARE: To have a well-groomed lawn your mower will need<br />
constant maintenance.<br />
•Use fresh fuel<br />
Petrol turns stale after about 60<br />
days and can form gum in your<br />
engine’s carburettor, resulting in<br />
expensive repairs. Eliminate the<br />
problem by routinely filling your<br />
engine’s tank with fresh fuel. If<br />
petrol must remain in the tank<br />
for a prolonged period of time,<br />
add a fuel stabiliser to keep it<br />
fresh and to ensure a clean fuel<br />
system that leads to easier starting.<br />
•Sharpen the blade<br />
Think about what a dull razor<br />
does to your face or legs when<br />
shaving. Similarly, a dull mower<br />
blade can bruise, bend and damage<br />
your lawn, making it susceptible<br />
to disease. After disconnecting<br />
the spark plug, examine the<br />
blade for wear or damage. Have it<br />
professionally sharpened at least<br />
once annually.<br />
•Keep things clean<br />
While you’re checking the<br />
blade, remove any dirt and<br />
caked-on grass under the mower.<br />
Squirt vegetable oil cooking<br />
spray underneath to reduce<br />
clipping build-up and to prevent<br />
rust.<br />
HEIGHT: A raised garden made out of timber is easy to<br />
maintain.<br />
Tips to simplify<br />
your garden<br />
WITH THE warmer weather<br />
comes the awareness that<br />
Christmas is really not that far<br />
away.<br />
Unfortunately, most of us wait<br />
until the last minute to work on<br />
our gardens, just before the big<br />
day arrives.<br />
Often we find the task either<br />
too big or too difficult, hence<br />
a lot of us leave it incomplete<br />
or even worse, don’t start at all.<br />
Well, here are some simple tips<br />
to improve your outdoor living<br />
areas.<br />
1: If your garden is too much<br />
to handle then simplify it. Look<br />
at what plants you have. Your<br />
likes and dislikes. Too big or<br />
too small? Leaf droppers or<br />
sun blockers? The list goes on.<br />
Ascertain what has to go and<br />
get rid of them. You may be surprised<br />
at how simple things make<br />
a big difference.<br />
2: Remember, often less is best.<br />
At this stage you may need to<br />
seek some professional advice<br />
to help keep in mind the picture<br />
you want to create.<br />
3: If your garden and plant<br />
maintenance is high and you’re<br />
finding it hard to cope, then weed<br />
out the problem. For example,<br />
it just maybe time to realise that<br />
the roses are no longer suitable.<br />
Remember you can always substitute<br />
them with an alternative<br />
plant.<br />
4: Consider building raised<br />
gardens with timber or garden<br />
sleepers. Besides adding a point<br />
of interest, you have the added<br />
benefits of a well drained garden<br />
that is easier to maintain. You<br />
may even consider split level<br />
gardens which will add an<br />
aesthetic value to your piece of<br />
paradise.<br />

Stagger planting for continuous cropping<br />
OCTOBER IS sometimes<br />
unsettled, but by the end of the<br />
month, temperatures have usually<br />
risen and the growth in the<br />
garden abounds.<br />
There are a million tasks to do<br />
in the garden; all enjoyable, especially<br />
the planting of the summer<br />
vegetable garden.<br />
It’s probably the most active<br />
month of the year in the vegetable<br />
garden. Prepare the area<br />
well by adding in new compost in<br />
significant quantities.<br />
All summer vegetables can<br />
now be safely planted, including<br />
courgettes/zucchini, cucumbers,<br />
beans, beetroot, carrots, celery,<br />
corn, leeks, lettuce, melons,<br />
onions, radish, pumpkin and<br />
tomato.<br />
To avoid vegetables all maturing<br />
at one time, stagger your<br />
plantings as continuous cropping<br />
and supply is much preferable.<br />
As plants become established,<br />
apply light side dressings of<br />
vegetable fertiliser to help<br />
develop strong healthy plants.<br />
Water young plants regularly and<br />
deeply to encourage a strong root<br />
system.<br />
The last of winter flowing<br />
annuals can now be removed<br />
and the soil prepared for new<br />
plantings. As with the vegetable<br />
plot, add plenty of compost to<br />
the soil and dig it over well to<br />
create a fine tilth (breadcrumb<br />
like texture) ready for planting.<br />
Summer flowering annuals can<br />
include alyssum, asters, cornflowers,<br />
californian poppy, cosmos,<br />
livingstone daisy, lobelia, marigolds,<br />
nemesia, petunias, portulaca,<br />
phlox, salvias, sweet peas<br />
and zinnias.<br />
In warmer areas, harvest seminole<br />
tangelo (which will finally be<br />
ripening) and grapefruit. The first<br />
application of fruit tree fertiliser<br />
can now be made. Repeat again<br />
in six weeks’ time.<br />
Loquarts are now ripening, filling<br />
a gap in the harvesting<br />
fruit calendar. Kiwifruit and<br />
grape vines are now growing<br />
vigorously.<br />
Trim growth where it is not<br />
required. Mulch trees with<br />
crushed bark as the soil warms up<br />
to prevent weed growth and aid<br />
water retention during the hot,<br />
dry summer months.<br />
Check your strawberries<br />
for any signs of grey mould<br />
(botrytis). Remove any infected<br />
leaves and ensure there is enough<br />
pea straw, mulch or hay around<br />
plants to keep developing berries<br />
DISPLAY:<br />
Plant<br />
marigolds<br />
now for<br />
summer<br />
colour.<br />
Add<br />
compost.<br />
clean and healthy<br />
It’s a busy time for lawn lovers.<br />
The first application of lawn fertiliser<br />
can now be made; hopefully<br />
at the same time as spring rain,<br />
otherwise water it thoroughly<br />
after applying.<br />
Sow seed where there are<br />
bare parts of the lawn, add new<br />
topsoil before broadcasting the<br />
seed and lightly water to activate<br />
germination. Mow your lawn<br />
regularly to encourage vigorous<br />
growth.<br />
Classical winter flowering<br />
shrubs such as rhododendrons,<br />
camellias and azaleas are now<br />
coming to the end of flowering.<br />
They may require some minor<br />
pruning before they break into<br />
spring growth. Apply fertiliser to<br />
these plants now and apply mulch<br />
all around your shrubs.<br />
Now is a great time to plant<br />
containers and pots with summer<br />
flowering annuals such as<br />
petunias which are a favourite<br />
to provide colour throughout<br />
summer months. Start your new<br />
seasons display by removing<br />
existing potting mix, thoroughly<br />
cleaning the container before<br />
refilling with new container mix<br />
and planting.<br />
In the herb garden, remove any<br />
old plants from the previous season<br />
herb garden. Plant out new<br />
seasons herbs, including those<br />
that are frost tender such as basil.<br />
Clip your herb plants frequently<br />
for culinary use and to encourage<br />
fresh young growth.<br />

There is still time to pop some fertiliser on the lawn, just make sure you<br />
water it in well as soon as you have applied it. This task needs to be done<br />
in the evening so that the sun doesn’t burn your lawn once the fertiliser is<br />
applied, and then pop the sprinkler on to give it a good soak. Water your<br />
lawns early in the morning and later in the evening, not in the heat of the<br />
day. Where possible, water for an hour or more to give it a good soak<br />
rather than a quick watering. A handy tip is to set a water timer and you can<br />
let it do its thing! Grab one in store or online today.<br />

PETS & PAWS<br />
Locally sourced quality<br />
pet food<br />
Big Mountain Naturally is a local,<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> based, pet food manufacturer<br />
with its premises at 540 Burnham School<br />
Rd – a rural setting in a nice, quiet<br />
location.<br />
The company specialises in<br />
manufacturing quality, natural, raw<br />
pet foods made from only the best<br />
ingredients such as rabbit, wallaby, hare,<br />
venison, goat, chicken and sometimes<br />
beef. Harvested from the mountains,<br />
valleys and farms surrounding Mount<br />
Cook (Aoraki) in the South Island, it<br />
is company policy not to use artificial<br />
flavoring, coloring, preservatives or<br />
chemicals in the manufacture of their pet<br />
food.<br />
Big Mountain Naturally has operated in<br />
Burnham for the last five years and prior<br />
to this, processed rabbit for the North<br />
American market from their Tekapo<br />
location. It was there that owner Robert<br />
(Bob) Thomson was convinced by a<br />
major retailer in Auckland to supply the<br />
New Zealand market with raw pet food,<br />
as it was hard to find consistent supply<br />
for retail shops, due to the demand from<br />

the export market.<br />
Bob and his team had been<br />
processing rabbit, hares, and<br />
wallabies for the New Zealand<br />
market for both premium<br />
quality pet food and also<br />
human consumption. Only<br />
recently has Big Mountain<br />
Naturally stopped producing<br />
human consumption meats as MPI<br />
compliance costs soared and rabbit<br />
numbers slowly declined. This was due<br />
to reduced access to the farms to harvest<br />
them and the lack of quality marksmen.<br />
Big Mountain Naturally is an MPI<br />
registered facility, and all meat is traced<br />
from its source through to production;<br />
a thorough compliance mechanism that<br />
rules out any chance of poisons ever<br />
getting into the food chain. The factory<br />
has 21 different lines of compliance.<br />
Big Mountain Naturally is available<br />
from a number of nationwide retailers<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
Family fun day in November<br />
Make sure you pencil in the November<br />
22 to visit the popular <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor<br />
Fest at HelPet Park on Rolleston Road,<br />
opposite Rolleston College. Last year’s<br />
event attracted more than 500 vehicle<br />
entries from car enthusiasts throughout<br />
Canterbury and beyond, and raised<br />
over $20,000 for local charities – but the<br />
focus is also on a fun family day out and<br />
includes bouncy castles, face painting,<br />
mini jeep rides, raffles and stalls.<br />
“We are hoping to go bigger than ever.<br />
Covid has shut down a lot of events this year<br />
and we plan to give <strong>Selwyn</strong> locals and the<br />
wider Canterbury community a good show<br />
and a great day out,” says Tracey Campbell,<br />
chair of this year’s organizing committee.<br />
Instead of hiring a live band, the<br />
organisers are getting the community<br />
involved. They are collaborating with<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> high schools to showcase top<br />
local talent for a variety of entertainment<br />
throughout the day.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor Fest will run from<br />
10am to 3pm. Tickets cost $5 for<br />
individuals or just $10 for the whole family.<br />
For vehicle enthusiasts, it costs $15 to preregister<br />
your vehicle for the show.<br />
“There is no restriction on the type<br />
of vehicle. It doesn’t have to be a certain<br />
vintage or make. It could be a car,<br />
bike, truck, van or caravan… if you’re<br />
enthusiastic about your vehicle, bring it<br />
along,” says Tracey.<br />
The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor Fest has run annually<br />
since 2017 and over the previous three years<br />
raised more than $60,000 for local <strong>Selwyn</strong>based<br />
charities and non-profit organizations.<br />
“A lot of organizations are doing it tough<br />
this year. Donations are the first budget<br />
item to be cut when jobs are uncertain. We<br />
hope to be able to give back to the local<br />
community and play a part in keeping these<br />
organisations going,” says Tracey.<br />
The committee is grateful to their<br />
sponsors for supporting the event, and<br />
making it possible to give back to the<br />
community, both through entertainment at<br />
the event and through fundraising.<br />
“McLenaghan Contracting is our<br />
principal sponsor again this year, along with<br />
Accessman. We’re also on the lookout for<br />
additional sponsors and we welcome local<br />
charitable organizations to apply for funding<br />
support from the event,” says Tracey.<br />

Trusted vehicle repairs and rebuilds<br />
Delray Auto is a one-stop, trusted vehicle repair<br />
shop for all your vehicle needs. While they specialise in<br />
rebuilding pre-1990s cars, their passion for quality work<br />
is carried forward from hot rods and classics to modernday<br />
vehicles.<br />
Run by husband and wife team, Wayne and Brenda<br />
Martin, Delray Auto has just relocated to larger premises<br />
at 21 McTeigue Road in Hornby, a move that allows them<br />
to take on more projects.<br />
“We do everything from build cars to an oil change -<br />
and there’s a lot in between - from mechanical repairs,<br />
to panel beating, spray painting and rust repairs, to<br />
services and WoFs,” says Wayne, a qualified automotive<br />
engineer, panel beater and welder, who brings 47 years<br />
experience and a solid reputation in the car fraternity to<br />
the business.<br />
He says all the staff at Delray Auto (which includes<br />
mechanics, panel beaters, a welder and fabricator and a<br />
painter) are petrol heads with a passion for working on<br />
earlier cars, and most of their work comes from referrals<br />
from customers.<br />
“We’re very customer service focused. We listen to<br />
what the customer wants and deliver that at a reasonable<br />
price. Repairs aren’t cheap, but we explain the costs<br />
upfront so there are no surprises, and we try to look after<br />
our customers as much as we can,” says Wayne.<br />
Delray Auto also has a retail shop with a full range of<br />
classic parts – a step back in time to a 1960s Hot Rod<br />
shop. They specialise in 1937 – 1954 Chevy car and<br />
truck parts and memorabilia. You’ll find everything from<br />
taillights through to car accessories and signs.<br />
“We import parts from America weekly and have a<br />
good deal on shipping, so if we don’t have what you are<br />
looking for we can get it,” says Wayne.<br />
Delray Auto is hosting an open day and BBQ on 21st<br />
November from 11am. Whether you have a WoF or a<br />
larger repair or rebuild in mind, or want to spend time<br />
with others who have a passion for older model cars, pop<br />
in for a chat and have a look around the new workspace.<br />
For mechanical work and repairs, it is advisable to<br />
book in advance. Contact Delray Auto on delrayauto@<br />
xtra.co.nz or 03 344 1077 or visit their Facebook page<br />
(Delray Auto on Facebook) or their website at www.<br />

CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT PLAN<br />
PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 5<br />
PACKAGE OF CHANGES<br />
Christchurch City Council has initiated Plan Change 5 to the District Plan.<br />
The proposed Plan Change<br />
Proposed Plan Change 5 is a group of plan changes which seeks to:<br />
• Reinforce direction that offices and shops are to be primarily located in the<br />
Central City and commercial centres as well as clarifying the role of these<br />
centres as commercial focal points (5A).<br />
• Clarify and better reflect the intent and outcomes sought in the Commercial<br />
chapter, including the role of centres and the types and scale of retail, offices<br />
and other activities that are anticipated in centres amongst other changes<br />
including definitions (5B).<br />
• Clarify what is sought and/or required in the Industrial chapter, including<br />
clearer direction for the redevelopment of former industrial land for residential<br />
and mixed uses that support good neighbourhood design amongst other<br />
changes including definitions (5C).<br />
• Make sure that home-based businesses are of a type and scale appropriate in<br />
residential and rural areas through various changes including to definitions<br />
(5D).<br />
• Simplify a rule for noise insulation near railways and roads (5E).<br />
• Changes to zoning and overlays on the planning maps for identified sites,<br />
including to reflect what is already happening or anticipated, zone new roads<br />
and open spaces for their intended purpose, as well as realigning the zone<br />
boundaries between Christchurch and our neighbouring Districts, amongst<br />
other changes (5F).<br />
• Make changes arising from the implementation of new national direction that<br />
requires removal of car parking requirements. This includes consequential<br />
changes arising such as a landscaping rule for car parking areas, which is based<br />
on the number of car parks required (5G).<br />
• Provide for antenna associated with telecommunications at an appropriate<br />
scale (5H).<br />
• Enable temporary signs associated with general and local government<br />
elections (candidate and party) and referendum (5I).<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Painting your<br />
home to sell?<br />
When you’re getting ready to sell your<br />
home, you’ll probably want to pretty<br />
things up to make it more appealing to<br />
buyers. Always ask the advice of your<br />
real estate agent first (it may not be<br />
necessary and you’ll save yourself time<br />
and money) but if you do choose to head<br />
to your local paint store, it’s good to have<br />
a plan before jumping into high gear.<br />
Stick with neutrals<br />
Neutral doesn’t just mean white (and<br />
all the shades of it). It’s possible to use<br />
colour and keep your tones neutral. Walk<br />
into your local paint shop and you’ll see<br />
a whole wall of whites, creams, greys and<br />
other neutral tones that will help create<br />
the look of a blank canvas for your buyer.<br />
Felicity D-C of Ray White says: “Neutrals<br />
help buyers envisage adding their own<br />
touch once they’ve moved in.” And<br />
remember, you’re not doing it to win a<br />
design competition. Keep your focus on<br />
giving the property a fresh, new feel and<br />
help buyers see the possibilities.<br />
Focus on the main areas<br />
Unless your property is in a dire state,<br />
there’s no need to panic over getting a<br />
lick of paint on every wall. Focus on<br />
the main areas of the house—kitchen,<br />
lounge, bathrooms—where buyers are<br />
likely to spend more time. What’s equally<br />
important is using the correct paint.<br />
For example, use the wrong paint in the<br />
bathroom and it could end up blistering<br />
or peeling because of moisture or lack<br />
of ventilation. And don’t forget the front<br />
door, first impressions count.<br />
Don’t forget the exterior<br />
Before you hit the brushes, imagine<br />
coming to view the property yourself.<br />
What would you be looking for? Borrow<br />
a high-pressure hose to get rid of any<br />
loose paint or moss that’s taken up<br />
residence. And while you’re at it, Felicity<br />
says mow the lawns, do the edges,<br />
remove weeds and then hose down paths<br />
and your exterior walls—you’ll freshen<br />
up the whole look.<br />

like Felicity and get cracking. Email:<br />

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
All class and a must see<br />
One peek at Stonewood Homes’ new showhome<br />
will impress while stimulating ideas for your new<br />
home.<br />
This 235sqm, four bedroom house oozes style and<br />
quality. It is a home to impress as well as be lived in.<br />
Positioned on its 785sqm section to maximise the<br />
sun, and with large windows, skylights and underfloor<br />
heating, you are guaranteed a warm home in the<br />
cooler months. Sliders leading out from the lounge,<br />
dining/living area and master bedroom also mean an<br />
airy, cool home when hot outside.<br />
With a higher than normal internal stud, cathedral<br />
ceiling throughout the living area, and a boxed ceiling<br />
in the master bedroom, the home has a spacious look<br />
and feel. Complementing this, is a soft neutral interior<br />
décor and tasteful features.<br />
The showhome has four separate outdoor deck<br />
areas, providing plenty of places to sit, play or relax.<br />
Indoors, one can escape with a book, watch a movie<br />
or entertain in the separate lounge where a floor level<br />
strip window adds interest.<br />
With triple sliders leading from the<br />
living room to a large hardwood deck<br />
and generous yard, as well as two other<br />
decks out from this room, it is a perfect<br />
place for family living and entertaining.<br />
Built-in cabinetry in the lounge and<br />
living room, complete the picture.<br />
The kitchen is a practical, wellappointed<br />
workroom. It has an eye<br />
level wall oven, island sink with a gold<br />
Fawcett, under-island dishwasher,<br />
and 900mm gas cooktop. The latter is<br />
positioned by a side window, leaving<br />
a clear workbench. The island itself is<br />
stunning, exemplifying how a kitchen can blend<br />
synonymously with a living area. A large walk-in<br />
pantry sits behind the kitchen, offering space for a<br />
double refrigerator.<br />
The opulent main bathroom is unique in interior<br />
design and layout. It has a freestanding bath, large<br />
hanging double vanity with bowl inserts and walk-in<br />
glass shower. Guests will love the charming oriental<br />
style feature walls in the separate toilet, where there is<br />
also a washbasin for convenience. A spacious ensuite<br />
and separate good-sized walk-in robe adjoin the<br />
master bedroom.<br />
Leading off from the hallway is a good sized<br />
laundry. This has under-bench space for both<br />
washing machine and dryer, and a full height storage<br />
cupboard. Added to the line-up of service rooms is a<br />
fully shelved walk-in linen cupboard.<br />
