The one<br />

that<br />

didn’t<br />

get<br />

away<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

ROLLESTON’S Vicky Van Der<br />

Zwet is hooked on salmon fishing<br />

after catching a big one over the<br />

weekend.<br />

Vicky has fished in the past<br />

but this was her first attempt at<br />

salmon fishing and the biggest<br />

fish she has ever caught “by far,”<br />

she said.<br />

She reeled in the 8.10kg,<br />

810mm salmon with the help of<br />

her husband Nico Van Der Zwet,<br />

an experienced fisherman, and<br />

10-year-old grandson Jake.<br />

Said Vicky: “This one took about<br />

five minutes and my husband was<br />

there to tell me what to do.<br />

“It was quite tiring. Definitely,<br />

it’s not easy because you’re not<br />

fishing with a huge rod but it was<br />

exciting.”<br />

She caught the fish about 8pm<br />

in the lagoon near the Rakaia<br />

River mouth on Saturday and<br />

Vicky also caught a small trout<br />

earlier that day.<br />

Thieves<br />

benefit<br />

from<br />

slack<br />

vehicle<br />

security<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

POLICE SAY residents continue<br />

to be too casual when it comes to<br />

locking their vehicles.<br />

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />

said about 80 per cent of vehicles<br />

which have had items stolen from<br />

them in the district in the last few<br />

months have been unlocked.<br />

Harker said the number of<br />

vehicles being targeted by thieves,<br />

and stolen, has become more<br />

noticeable. He estimates there<br />

have been more than 30 thefts<br />

recently.<br />

He said this is happening all<br />

across the district but some of<br />

the areas being hit the most are<br />

Rolleston, Lincoln and West<br />

Melton.<br />

Said Harker: “We had a<br />

spate of them in Lincoln and we<br />

had a spate in Rolleston. That’s<br />

probably in the last couple of<br />

months.<br />

“If they [thieves] know that it’s<br />

easy pickings in one area, they’ll<br />

keep going back there.”<br />

On page 1 today we<br />

beat a familiar drum;<br />

UNLOCKED vehicles<br />

continue to be a target for<br />

thieves.<br />

The definition of a breakin<br />

doesn’t apply here because<br />

the vehicles aren’t broken<br />

into; the thieves simply<br />

open the door and help<br />

themselves to whatever is<br />

inside.<br />

It is frustrating for<br />

the police. They take the<br />

complaint, go through the<br />

paperwork and cop the<br />

fallout when little comes of<br />

it except the insurance<br />

claim.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> might be one of<br />

the most crime-free places<br />

in New Zealand but that will<br />

change as the population<br />

grows, and crims from<br />

further afield see us as easy<br />

pickings.<br />

Girl’s support cat goes missing<br />

In Brief<br />

NEWS 3<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

A PEBBLETON family is<br />

devastated after the mysterious<br />

loss of their cat Milo – a support<br />

animal for their daughter<br />

Isabella who has a head injury.<br />

And they’re worried foul<br />

play may have been a factor.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> reported last<br />

year a two-year-old cat lost its<br />

eye after being shot by a rifle in<br />

Prebbleton.<br />

In January 2017, another<br />

two-year-old cat was shot with<br />

a .22 calibre bullet and his back<br />

left leg was amputated. He was<br />

shot again about a year later, this<br />

time in his front left leg, and had<br />

to be put down.<br />

Jacqueline Long said since her<br />

family moved to Guardsman<br />

Pl two-and-a-half years ago,<br />

three of their beloved cats,<br />

Jasmine, D’arcy and Milo have<br />

disappeared.<br />

Milo was the most recent to<br />

go missing on November 21 and<br />

Isabella has been crying herself<br />

to sleep ever since.<br />

Milo helped calm Isabella.<br />

Jacqueline said this played a<br />

vital role in letting her brain<br />

recover from a head injury<br />

sustained after being hit by a<br />

softball bat during school sport<br />

in 2018.<br />

“With brain injuries, your<br />

brain is so busy trying to heal,<br />

that you can’t moderate your<br />

emotions.<br />

“For her, [Isabella] it was<br />

calming, it was hugely calming.<br />

She’d sit down and Milo would<br />

just cuddle her. It just calmed<br />

her down and enabled her brain<br />

to get on with healing rather<br />

than processing emotions and<br />

feelings and physical reactions to<br />

stuff that she could not moderate,”<br />

said Jacqueline.<br />

She said <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> previous<br />

coverage of Prebbleton cat<br />

shootings makes her fear the<br />

worst may have happened to<br />

Milo, Jasmine and D’arcy.<br />

“All we know is that in the<br />

newspaper articles and the<br />

chit-chat around is that there<br />

have been cats that have made it<br />

home or been found and they’ve<br />

got gunshots in their bodies.<br />

“We don’t know whether that<br />

rumoured shooter is doing his<br />

or her thing again, we don’t<br />

know whether someone’s trapping<br />

cats, we don’t know. There’s<br />

just an absolute lack of bodies,”<br />

MISSING: Isabella (left) and<br />

Reuben Long’s beloved cats<br />

Milo, Jasmine and D’arcy have<br />

disappeared in two-and-a-half<br />

years living in Prebbleton.<br />

•If you have seen any of these<br />

pets or had a cat go missing in<br />

Prebbleton recently? Email matt.<br />

slaughter@starmedia.kiwi<br />

she said.<br />

An SPCA spokeswoman said<br />

it has received reports of<br />

cats being shot in Prebbleton<br />

in January 2017, <strong>December</strong><br />

2018 and June 2019, but none<br />

since.<br />

She said it is unclear if these<br />

shootings were linked or if the<br />

Long family’s cats may have<br />

been shot.<br />

“There are any number of<br />

reasons why cats go missing,’’<br />

the spokeswoman said.<br />

COUNTDOWN APPEAL<br />

Developers have until the<br />

middle of this month to appeal<br />

the decision to decline the<br />

construction of a new Countdown<br />

supermarket in Lincoln. Shane<br />

Kennedy, who applied for resource<br />

consent to build the supermarket<br />

in the Flemington subdivision<br />

on Birchs Rd, has not said yet<br />

whether he will appeal. Fortyseven<br />

supported the development,<br />

23 submissions were in opposition<br />

and two were neutral.<br />

STUDENTS VISIT SITES<br />

The Lincoln Rotary Club, in<br />

conjunction with Lincoln High<br />

School, held a building and<br />

construction day last month. A<br />

group of nine year 11 students<br />

visited three construction<br />

companies to gain an insight<br />

into the building industry, which<br />

they are interested in working in<br />

after they finish school. The three<br />

companies visited were Concision,<br />

Rolleston, ZOG Steel Framing,<br />

Wigram, and Metro Glass,<br />

Hornby.<br />

More toxic algae<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

POTENTIALLY toxic algae<br />

benthic cyanobacteria has been<br />

found in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River at<br />

the Whitecliffs Domain and<br />

Whitecliffs Rd section.<br />

The Canterbury District<br />

Health Board has issued a health<br />

warning and says there are other<br />

access points along the river that<br />

may have benthic cyanobacteria<br />

in them.<br />

It comes after the same sort<br />

of algae was found at the Glentunnel<br />

section of the river two<br />

weeks ago.<br />

People are advised to<br />

treat every low-flowing<br />

river cautiously and check<br />

for the presence of benthic<br />

cyanobacteria.<br />

Canterbury medical officer of<br />

health Dr Cheryl Brunton said<br />

the algae looks dark brown or<br />

black and can produce toxins<br />

harmful to people and animals.<br />

“Exposure may cause skin<br />

rashes, nausea, stomach cramps,<br />

tingling and numbness around<br />

the mouth and fingertips.<br />

“If you experience any of<br />

these symptoms, visit your<br />

doctor immediately, also let<br />

your doctor know if you’ve had<br />

contact with dark brown/black<br />

algal mats or water in this area,”<br />

Brunton said.<br />

As well as people, animals,<br />

particularly dogs, are being<br />

advised to avoid areas of the<br />

river which contain the algae<br />

until health warnings have been<br />

lifted.<br />

She said people and animals<br />

should remain out of the waterways<br />

until the warnings have<br />

A $360,000 pathway linking<br />

Whitecliffs to Glentunnel in<br />

an area which has previously<br />

been deemed dangerous may<br />

be completed sooner than first<br />

planned.<br />

A number of Whitecliffs<br />

residents, led by contractor Neil<br />

Walker, have spent the last 10<br />

months helping to build about<br />

500m of track on private land at<br />

Breakneck Corner, about halfway<br />

between the two towns.<br />

The district council originally<br />

planned to complete the 3.5km<br />

track by 2031 as part of its Long<br />

Term Plan.<br />

Sue Wragg, who helped complete<br />

the first section of track,<br />

said the area where work has<br />

been done was previously “very<br />

dangerous” for parents using<br />

wheelchairs and children on<br />

bikes.<br />

“We weren’t prepared to wait<br />

until [2031], it’s as simple as that,<br />

really.”<br />

The district council has<br />

indicated the track may now be<br />

completed as soon as next year<br />

because of the community’s efforts.<br />

Said district council<br />

infrastructure manager Andrew<br />

Mazey: “The draft 2<strong>02</strong>1-31<br />

Long Term Plan is proposing<br />

to recommend to council that<br />

this cycleway should be funded<br />

and undertaken in the 2<strong>02</strong>1/22<br />

financial year.<br />

“The proactive efforts by the<br />

community to address a particular<br />

safety problem themselves by<br />

providing this initial section has<br />

prompted council to consider<br />

bringing the remainder of the<br />

original project forward so it can<br />

be fully completed sooner rather<br />

than later.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Residents help build pathway<br />

OPEN: Mark Wragg cuts the ribbon to the first section of new a pathway between<br />

Whitecliffs and Glentunnel, which the community helped to build. ​<br />

“There are no records of<br />

pedestrian or cyclist crashes in<br />

this area, but the area where the<br />

community has completed its<br />

works and the improvements in<br />

safety for pedestrians and cyclists<br />

were key to enable full pathway<br />

link between Glentunnel and<br />

Whitecliffs to be successfully<br />

completed.”<br />

Wragg said building the first<br />

section of track would not have<br />

been possible without the support<br />

of Walker, who built the section<br />

of track, Sam Richards from<br />

Richards Consulting Engineers<br />

and Steve Murphy Ltd, who supported<br />

the project.<br />

The cost of completing the first<br />

part of the track was $14,000 and<br />

this was covered by donations<br />

from two families. The cost of<br />

the remainder of the track will be<br />

covered by the district council.<br />

New east<br />

Rolleston<br />

school named<br />

Te Rohutu Whio<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

TE ROHUTU Whio has been<br />

chosen as the name of a new<br />

school in east Rolleston.<br />

The name was gifted by Te<br />

Taumutu Rūnanga and means<br />

“the whistling rohutu.”<br />

A rohutu is a type of tree.<br />

Traditionally, spinning tops<br />

made of the rohutu tree were<br />

used for entertainment at whare<br />

tapere (places of entertainment).<br />

The role of the whare tapere<br />

was about learning and testing<br />

new skills.<br />

Said principal Kate Morgan:<br />

“Our new name reflects this and<br />

also the importance that knowledge<br />

grows slowly and surely.<br />

“The leaves of the rohutu tree<br />

are heart-shaped and reflect<br />

aroha which will be a huge focus<br />

for our school.”<br />

Te Rohutu Whio has received<br />

$20 million in Government<br />

funding.<br />

It will be spent on its construction<br />

and, once finished, it will<br />

accommodate 400 pupils.<br />

The school is scheduled to<br />

open at the end of January 2<strong>02</strong>2<br />

and will be led by Morgan, who<br />

is currently the deputy principal<br />

at Merrin School.<br />

SPEEDWAY RACING runs<br />

in Glen Leech’s family’s blood,<br />

so it is fitting he has mowed a<br />

racetrack into the lawn at their<br />

Darfield home.<br />

The practice course on their<br />

rural block gets plenty of use<br />

from their children Rubie, 10,<br />

and Harry, 6.<br />

Rubie and Harry’s interest in<br />

racing is not surprising, given<br />

they are the third generation of<br />

two speedway families.<br />

The siblings are not competing<br />

yet, but the backyard track<br />

has proved the perfect training<br />

ground to hone their skills behind<br />

the wheel.<br />

The racetrack is so well mown,<br />

it won the John Deere Lawn<br />

Legend competition.<br />

Glen won a Z335E Residential<br />

ZTrak Zero-Turn lawnmower<br />

for his efforts.<br />

Glen’s wife Kylie entered him<br />

in the contest after seeing it on<br />

Facebook.<br />

She built her entry around<br />

how much their family loves<br />

their 0.6ha lawn and personal<br />

racetrack.<br />

Glen’s shock at winning<br />

was soon replaced with his<br />

excitement to replace his old<br />

equipment which made building<br />

and maintaining the backyard<br />

speedway a tough task.<br />

He mows the lawn and track<br />

about once a week.<br />

The rest of the back paddock<br />

receives a monthly maintenance<br />

trim which helps define the<br />

course’s tight bends and long<br />

straights.<br />

“The mower we were using<br />

had a catcher and we realised<br />

it was not suited to our larger<br />

property as the grass piles of<br />

clippings were really stacking<br />

THE ARTICLE The face behind<br />

Backyard racetrack<br />

earns Leech family new mower<br />

up. We learned buying a mower<br />

without a mulcher was a mistake,”<br />

Glen said.<br />

The family moved from a smaller<br />

property in Darfield to their<br />

bigger lifestyle block in March just<br />

two weeks before New Zealand’s<br />

Covid-19 lockdown.<br />

“We felt very lucky to be here.<br />

“The kids were outside all the<br />

time, on their bikes, scooters,<br />

playing on the lawn or out in the<br />

back paddock racing around,”<br />

Kylie said.<br />

RACE-READY: Glen and Kylie Leech,<br />

with their children Rubie and Harry<br />

and the new mower creating a<br />

backyard speedway track.<br />

The family’s previous lawn had<br />

been impacted by earthquakes,<br />

creating a rippled and rough<br />

surface interspersed with holes,<br />

which was not suitable for gokarts<br />

or playing in general.<br />

John Deere, tactical marketing<br />

manager Fraser Scott congratulated<br />

the Leech family on their<br />

win.<br />

“Glen’s love for his lawn<br />

and dedication to mowing the<br />

racetrack for his kids definitely<br />

makes him a lawn legend.”<br />

Mullet fundraiser<br />

for men’s health<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

LINCOLN HIGH School<br />

took part in a different<br />

kind of Movember to<br />

support men’s health.<br />

Moustaches weren’t an<br />

option for many of the<br />

school’s students but they<br />

still wanted to help the<br />

cause, creating Mulletvember.<br />

Said student Reuben<br />

Ryan, who took part: “I’ve<br />

put a year of hard work<br />

and growth into the filthy<br />

mullet and now it’s got a<br />

good cause and purpose to<br />

go towards.<br />

“Men’s mental health<br />

is a big thing and people<br />

need to be more aware and<br />

to help and support those<br />

blokes who are in need of<br />

it and what better way to<br />

do it than a classic mullet<br />

removal.’’<br />

Said fellow student Sam<br />

Draper: “I like mullets and<br />

I thought it was a good way<br />

to raise money for a good<br />

cause.’’<br />

Barber Ben Scott from<br />

Benny’s Barber Shop volunteered<br />

his time to go to<br />

the school on October 30<br />

to cut some of the boy’s<br />

hair into mullets.<br />

Said deputy principal<br />

Kylie Horgan: “This was a<br />

great show for the rest of<br />

the school and really got<br />

the month off to a good<br />

start, creating a buzz about<br />

the mullets in the school.”<br />

Throughout the month<br />

the boys were hard at work<br />

showing off their mullets<br />

and collecting donations to<br />

HALF A WORLD away in<br />

England, Barbara Hind is<br />

on the search for more<br />

information about her<br />

grandmother Annie Spring,<br />

who lived in Weedons.<br />

Hind is 74 and has never been<br />

to New Zealand but wants to<br />

know more about the 30 years<br />

Annie spent here, including 13<br />

in Weedons.<br />

Annie moved to New Zealand<br />

from Maryport, Cumberland,<br />

England, some time between<br />

1921 and 1928.<br />

She married John Spring some<br />

time after arriving.<br />

The couple lived in Weedons<br />

from about 1946 until John’s<br />

death in 1957. Annie moved<br />

back to England in 1959.<br />

They had previously lived<br />

on Ferry Rd, Woolston, in<br />

Timaru and other parts of<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Said Hind: “She obviously met<br />

John Spring sometime before<br />

1928 as the records for that year<br />

show them living together at 8<br />

Ferry Rd, Canterbury. By 1935<br />

they were shown as married,<br />

but I have not been able to find<br />

a record.<br />

“The records always show<br />

John as a labourer, although<br />

in 1946 when they were living<br />

in Weedons he is shown as a<br />

farmer.<br />

“Annie was always shown as<br />

a housewife. They lived there<br />

[Weedons] until John’s death,<br />

aged 70, in 1957. I have not<br />

been able to find a record of any<br />

children.”<br />

After Annie died in 1961, her<br />

NEWS<br />

The Faces of <strong>Selwyn</strong> exhibition was launched last year<br />

and a new set of 12 stories about people in the district<br />

are on display at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries. The stories, written<br />

by Hayley Tate, celebrate diversity and highlight the<br />

differences in people’s backgrounds and journeys to<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>. <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> continues its coverage.<br />

From the battered red zone to Rolleston<br />

Craig and Kelly Pierce<br />

MOVING INTO their first home<br />

in Avondale together, Craig and<br />

Kelly Pierce never thought they<br />

would leave it.<br />

Then the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake hit.<br />

After the quake, their house<br />

was red-zoned and they were<br />

forced to leave. The couple had<br />

to make a quick decision about<br />

where they were going to move.<br />

“I think the worse thing was<br />

not knowing where we were going.”<br />

Kelly said.<br />

“You went to bed each night<br />

thinking, where am I going to be<br />

living in the next six months?”<br />

Craig said.<br />

Craig and Kelly began looking<br />

for a house in town but with no<br />

luck. They decided to look at the<br />

option of building and Kelly’s<br />

brother, who had done some<br />

plumbing in Rolleston, suggested<br />

they look there. They found<br />

a section they liked early the<br />

following year and moved in 10<br />

months later.<br />

Before buying the land, Craig<br />

had never been out to Rolleston<br />

and says they would not have<br />

built a house either.<br />

“We quite like older houses, we<br />

weren’t specifically looking for a<br />

new house.”<br />

But seven years later, Craig,<br />

Kelly and their nine-year old<br />

daughter Vienna enjoy living in<br />

Rolleston. They feel very fortunate<br />

to have privacy, peace and<br />

quiet, yet be close to Vienna’s<br />

school, shops and a park to walk<br />

the dog.<br />

“You look out and you don’t<br />

feel like you’re in the city,” Craig<br />

said.<br />

Being away from Christchurch<br />

made it easier to forget about the<br />

earthquake and there was wellneeded<br />

peace and quiet from it.<br />

Before moving to Rolleston,<br />

Avondale was like a ghost town<br />

with residents leaving their<br />

houses behind. Being one of the<br />

last families to leave the area, the<br />

couple recall walking around<br />

feeling vulnerable.<br />

“It was horrible when you were<br />

living there and you were walking<br />

the dog around the block<br />

and you’d see broken windows<br />

and empty houses and it became<br />

quite eerie.”<br />

Now when Kelly and Craig<br />

walk the dog in Rolleston, they<br />

have a sense of safety.<br />

Craig and Kelly were not<br />

alone in moving out to <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />

after the earthquake the district<br />

grew in population by 47 per<br />

cent led by people moving from<br />

SATISFIED:<br />

Craig and<br />

Kelly Pierce,<br />

with their<br />

daughter<br />

Vienna, are<br />

enjoying living<br />

in Rolleston. ​<br />

Christchurch.<br />

The family likes to participate<br />

in park runs at Foster Park on<br />

Saturdays, camp out at Glentunnel<br />

and drive out to Darfield for<br />

the forest walks and the bakery.<br />

Kelly volunteers for Bellyful<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong>, delivering meals around<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> to new mothers and families<br />

with unwell children, while<br />

Craig has fun biking around the<br />

district.<br />

Craig admits the earthquake is<br />

the reason his family moved, but<br />

they would not be rushing back<br />

into town now, except for a beach<br />

trip or to his favourite record<br />

store, Penny Lane.<br />

Celebrate<br />

summer and <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Hit the court with the Canterbury Rams, bike the trails, crack the secret code or take a picnic in<br />

the park – <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council’s Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong> events programme is back for another<br />

jam-packed summer.<br />

The Summer in <strong>Selwyn</strong> guide — delivered to <strong>Selwyn</strong> homes over the weekend (rural delivery<br />

arriving this week) — provides information on more than 80 activity and event options organised<br />

by the Council and available around the district until the end of March.<br />

This year the Canterbury Rams will be joining in the popular Basketball Jams in March. The<br />

Council has also included the new <strong>Selwyn</strong> Bike Trail Challenge where people can enjoy <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />

great bike trails and take on the challenge to crack the secret code to win a prize, Council’s<br />

Community Services and Facilities Group Manager, Denise Kidd says.<br />

“We’ve brought back and refreshed a great range of favourite activities for people to enjoy from<br />

craft and technology experiences to music and outdoor fun. But we’re also pleased to have added<br />

a few really cool new events to encourage people to explore and enjoy, from their own backyard<br />

with the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Garden Series to further afield with the bike trail challenge.<br />

“After a tough year we’ve been working hard on ways to celebrate both summer and <strong>Selwyn</strong> and<br />

we think this guide will help people to do just that.”<br />

Council events include three outdoor movies and a drive-in movie starting with a sprinkling of<br />

Christmas magic with Arthur Christmas at Anderson Square in Leeston on Friday 4 <strong>December</strong>.<br />

The popular Teddy Bears’ Picnic is back, along with Pool Parties in Sheffield, Darfield and<br />

Southbridge and a special Pool of Rock party at <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre.<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> Libraries team has lots in store for <strong>Selwyn</strong> this summer, from sending people on<br />

virtual travels with their Summer Reading Challenge “read around the world”, to resourceful<br />

Rekindle workshops that convert cabbage leaves and felt wool into practical products.<br />

‘Contamination crew’ to support recycling<br />

A team of four is hitting the streets from this week to support <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents to recycle right.<br />

Since the Level 4 lockdown the Council has seen an increase in the number of loads of recycling that<br />

could not be recycled and were sent to landfill because of contamination. Seven percent of loads<br />

(31,380 kg) had to be sent to landfill in the last month alone.<br />

The contamination crew will be helping by providing guidance on how to improve recycling.<br />

Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says over the past six months the Council has provided<br />

updated bin stickers and magnetic easy recycling guides to residents, and run newspaper and social<br />

media advertising to support good recycling. The contamination crew is the next step to help people.<br />

The team will be checking the contents of recycling bins and providing information to householders<br />

where they have put the wrong items in.<br />

“We know that <strong>Selwyn</strong> people care about their recycling, and that it can be confusing,” he says. “By<br />

having the crew on the street, they’ll be able to provide specific information to households about items<br />

they may have mistakenly thought were okay to recycle.”<br />

Where there is a small amount of contamination, the bin will still be collected, but the crew will leave<br />

an information tag on the bin handle letting people know about items in their bin that could not be<br />

recycled. If there is a large amount of contamination then the bin won’t be collected that week and<br />

people will be advised about the contamination.<br />

“This is so we can avoid contaminating the rest of the recycling load,<br />

and having to send it to landfill,” Mr Boyd says.<br />

In extreme cases — where people consistently put out large quantities<br />

of items that can’t be recycled — the Council may consider removing<br />

bins from households, but Mr Boyd says the focus will be on helping<br />

people first.<br />

“We’re dedicated to looking after <strong>Selwyn</strong> by doing our best with<br />

rubbish and recycling. We’re not out here to tell people off, we want to<br />

help people to recycle right, and providing advice directly should help<br />

to clean up the recycling”.<br />

Nice<br />

work!<br />

Thanks for getting<br />

recycling right.<br />

Last chance to have your say on<br />

district rules<br />

There’s two weeks left to have your say on the Proposed <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

District Plan.<br />

The Proposed Plan is basically a ‘rule book’ for what you can or<br />

can’t do in the district and what may require a resource consent<br />

from the Council.<br />

The plan takes account of the rapid and continuing growth we’ve seen<br />

in <strong>Selwyn</strong> in the last decade and sets rules and policies for where that<br />

growth should occur. It aims to help ensure the district continues to<br />

grow in a way that meets your needs and those of people moving to<br />

join in the great lifestyle and opportunities <strong>Selwyn</strong> offers.<br />

The Proposed Plan provides a framework for growth and unlocks the<br />

economic potential of our district in a sustainable way over the next 10<br />

to 15 years. It provides direction for how townships should grow, and<br />

where and what kind of businesses and industries are encouraged.<br />

It also simplifies the zones that help guide what you can and can’t<br />

build, maps the risk from natural hazards such as flooding and<br />

liquefaction, identifies our heritage sites, buildings and trees and<br />

proposes rules to protect our landscape and night sky, Council<br />

Environmental and Regulatory Services Planning Manager Ben<br />

Rhodes says.<br />

“These are key decisions about where we’re going and what life will<br />

look like in the district, so we really want to hear from you.”<br />

“So far we’ve seen a lot of interest in our drop-in sessions and<br />

community events, with hundreds of you talking to our planners<br />

and asking questions, and we’ve also received 35 submissions.<br />

Key areas of interest to date include queries about rezoning or<br />

subdividing land, designations, flooding hazard and family flats.”<br />

You can find out more and make a submission on the plan until 5pm<br />

Friday 11 <strong>December</strong> at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.<br />

Drinking? Don’t Drive<br />

The <strong>Selwyn</strong> road safety team is launching its annual anti-drinkdriving<br />

campaign. Alcohol is the second biggest contributing factor<br />

to road crashes in New Zealand.<br />

This years ‘That’s a Fail’ campaign is reminding people of the risks<br />

that drink-driving brings. Everyone’s perception of how much they<br />

can drink is different, however the law is precise. If you’re over<br />

20 years of age the legal blood alcohol limit for driving is no more<br />

than 50 milligrams of alcohol for every 100 mls of blood. There is a<br />

zero alcohol limit if you are under 20. That means if you drive after<br />

consuming even one drink, you can be charged with drink-driving.<br />

Summer, and particularly Christmas, is a time when people enjoy<br />

catching up with friends and attending functions, but a drink-driving<br />

conviction or causing a crash has lifelong consequences, Road<br />

Safety Education Coordinator Jessica Fairbrass says. “The summer<br />

months are a time to enjoy and celebrate. We’re reminding people<br />

to plan ahead before drinking. If you’re planning on drinking, plan<br />

not to drive.”<br />

Town centre anchor building gets roof<br />

The anchor project for the new Rolleston town centre has passed its latest milestone with the roof going<br />

on and work moving indoors.<br />

The roof has been installed on Te Ara Ātea, the new library and anchor building for the Rolleston town<br />

centre, as the building prepares to be the first open in the new town centre.<br />

Work has begun on fitting the building’s windows and sliding doors, including the large second floor<br />

windows that will provide views across Rolleston and out to the Southern Alps, along with the internal walls.<br />

The 2,200 square metre, two-storey building is due to be finished in late 2<strong>02</strong>1. It will house the new<br />

Rolleston Library, along with community spaces, exhibition areas, a workshop room, tamariki area and<br />

Waka Huia, a quiet room with a museum-quality display wall on the outside and displays of taonga from<br />

Te Taumutu Rūnanga.<br />

Te Ara Ātea will open onto the town square<br />

for the new Rolleston town centre. The town<br />

centre will feature retail areas, a sensory<br />

space, kai gardens and a youth area.<br />

A hearing on the design of the town centre<br />

has been completed this week. The project<br />

team was pleased to receive a significant<br />

number of submissions from interested<br />

community members on the design of the<br />

town centre. These will be incorporated into<br />

the final design which is expected to be<br />

completed early March next year.<br />

Aussie move for trainer Nathan Purdon<br />

• By Michael Guerin<br />

YOUNG GUN trainer Nathan<br />

Purdon says he is looking<br />

forward to branching out on his<br />

own in what could ultimately be<br />

a multi-state Australian career.<br />

The 25-year-old will leave<br />

his successful partnership with<br />

Chrissie Dalgety at West Melton<br />

in late January to return to Australia,<br />

where he has tasted group<br />

one success before when training<br />

a very small team.<br />

But this time Purdon will be<br />

looking to establish himself<br />

rather than only have that small<br />

team or work for others.<br />

“I think the time is right and<br />

after discussing it with a few<br />

people, including dad (Mark) I<br />

think Victoria is the right place<br />

to base myself,” Purdon said.<br />

“I have really appreciated the<br />

opportunities here with Chrissie<br />

and with Cran advising but<br />

things are changing with dad<br />

and Natalie taking a step back<br />

in the business and that could<br />

present some opportunities in<br />

Australia.<br />

“Dad has suggested to me he<br />

would be happy to come across<br />

to the sales in Australia, where<br />

he is going to be campaigning<br />

horses in Sydney anyway, and we<br />

can look at horses together.<br />

“He will see if any of his<br />

owners are interested in buying<br />

The revolution<br />

in heat pumps<br />

is here now!<br />

horses at those sales and leaving<br />

them in Australia for me to train<br />

but I am also going to reach out<br />

to some of my owners.<br />

“But I am going over there<br />

with a clean slate so I am going<br />

to build the team up from<br />

scratch and that will mean I am<br />

available to buy and train horses<br />

for Australian owners too.”<br />

Purdon could be moving at<br />

The brilliant<br />

<br />

the right time as more and more<br />

New Zealand-based horses are<br />

not only being campaigned at<br />

the major Australian carnivals<br />

but also heading there for prolonged<br />

stays.<br />

The All Stars for example<br />

have tended to send their horses<br />

they want to race in Victoria<br />

to the likes of Dean Braun and<br />

their New South Wales-targeted<br />

trainer<br />

Nathan<br />

Purdon will<br />

return to<br />

Australia<br />

next month<br />

to further<br />

his career.<br />

horses to Craig Cross and Luke<br />

McCarthy.<br />

But a trainer like the younger<br />

Purdon could easily become<br />

a go-to man for New Zealand<br />

owners wanting to campaign<br />

in Australia, especially as many<br />

Kiwis like their horses to go to a<br />

fellow countrymen.<br />

One of those options has been<br />

Anthony Butt, who has just<br />

moved back from New South<br />

Wales to Victoria, and while he<br />

takes outside horses much of his<br />

training is quite rightly based<br />

around Emilio and Mary Rosati’s<br />

horses as his major owners.<br />

But Nathan would have the advantage<br />

of arriving without the<br />

commitments of a large stable<br />

so could be able to tailor raids<br />

to New South Wales or even<br />

Queensland.<br />

“I am really open to that sort<br />

of thing and I might even spend<br />

a few week helping out with<br />

dad’s horses when they campaign<br />

in Sydney.<br />

“But it is an exciting time.”<br />

Purdon will of course miss many<br />

of the stars he has helped train<br />

with the Dalgetys but warns the<br />

best is yet to come from exceptional<br />

three-year-old Krug.<br />

“He came to the end of it in<br />

the Sires’ Stakes at Addington<br />

and probably even before,” he<br />

admits.<br />

“But he is in the paddock now<br />

and will miss the Sales Series<br />

in Auckland and I am certain<br />

this break will be the making of<br />

him.”<br />

Purdon’s partner junior driver<br />

Mikayla Lewis will also join him<br />

in Australia and work alongside<br />

him as well as run the business<br />

side of the operation.<br />

Darfield’s Jesse Frew scored 73 runs in his team’s win over previous frontrunners<br />

Weedons which allowed Leeston-Southbridge to jump to the top of<br />

the table.<br />

Win puts Leeston-Southbridge at top of table<br />

LEESTON-Southbridge jumped<br />

to the top of the country cricket<br />

standings with a comprehensive<br />

eight-wicket demolition of<br />

Ohoka on Saturday.<br />

The combined side’s victory<br />

sees them leapfrog Weedons –<br />

who suffered a hefty 79-run loss<br />

to Darfield – and lead the CRV<br />

Ambreed country premier one<br />

day 2<strong>02</strong>0/21 competition.<br />

At Leeston Park, the home side<br />

chose to bowl first and immediately<br />

rolled through Ohoka’s top<br />

order.<br />

Sam Chamberlain and Tom<br />

Burt did the damage at the<br />

top, hitting good areas and<br />

grabbing four wickets between<br />

them – Burt bowling a close<br />

to unplayable delivery to<br />

remove the dangerous Will<br />

Hamilton.<br />

But it was a total team bowling<br />

and fielding effort – creating two<br />

run outs – to dismiss an Ohoka<br />

side missing a few key players to<br />

injury for a paltry 93 in 35 overs.<br />

Only Harry Fitzpatrick offered<br />

any resistance and was left<br />

stranded on 40 not out off 86<br />

balls.<br />

After losing Rupert Young for<br />

a duck in the first over after a<br />

peach from Austin Hamilton,<br />

Leeston-Southbridge knocked<br />

off the win inside 15 overs, with<br />

Canterbury Country star Harry<br />

Chamberlain smashing 45 off 31<br />

balls, and Country development<br />

SELWYN RURAL LIFE<br />

Boom-town growth tests farm priorities<br />

High-class soils must be protected,<br />

Federated Farmers says as <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s urban<br />

growth continues to surge.<br />

Land around Rolleston continues to be<br />

sold for housing and industry, expanding<br />

the town at breakneck speed. The town<br />

had 17,500 residents as of the last census<br />

and the number is predicted to climb to<br />

24,000 by 2040.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> district has<br />

consistently been one<br />

of the fastest-growing<br />

areas in New Zealand<br />

over the past decade<br />

and is now the third<br />

most populated<br />

district in the South<br />

Island.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> district has consistently been<br />

one of the fastest-growing areas in New<br />

Zealand over the past decade and is<br />

now the third most populated district<br />

in the South Island. The district’s strong<br />

population and economic growth is<br />

projected to continue for many years yet.<br />

Meantime <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council<br />

(SDC) is consulting on its district plan,<br />

which it expects to be in full effect by the<br />

end of 2<strong>02</strong>2.<br />

In a summary of its proposed plan, SDC<br />

says: “Apart from some minor rezoning<br />

in Leeston and Rolleston, the council<br />

has made the decision not to investigate<br />

rezoning new ‘greenfield’ residential or<br />

business areas in the district through the<br />

District Plan Review process”.<br />

In relation to the Ellesmere and Malvern<br />

Wards, SDC’s decision was based<br />

around “balancing projected demand<br />

for residential and business land and the<br />

existing capacity of townships to cater for<br />

this demand”.<br />

Overall, the council was not proposing<br />

any residential zoning changes, “except<br />

for lifting the deferral of some land in<br />

Darfield and Leeston, which is currently<br />

treated as rural land but is to become<br />

residential zoned land in the Proposed<br />

District Plan”.<br />

SDC considered there was enough land<br />

at the moment to cater for projected<br />

population growth.<br />

The pros and cons of urban plans and<br />

policy statements continue to divide<br />

farmers, who may, or may not, want<br />

residential growth to continue. For some,<br />

urban expansion is a threat to precious<br />

hectares. For others, city and town sprawl<br />

represents a potential property windfall.<br />

In a submission to the urban<br />

development NPS, Federated Farmers<br />

said its membership encompassed a<br />

broad range of persons and interests,<br />

“depending on their own personal views<br />

and future intentions to develop their<br />

own land”. With this in mind, Federated<br />

Farmers submission focused “solely on<br />

key issues that are generally accepted by<br />

our membership”.<br />

The lobby group said Federated<br />

Farmers generally supported the urban<br />

development policy statement but wanted<br />

urban development to be clearly defined.<br />

It could not include un-serviced large lot<br />

residential subdivision on the fringe of a<br />

city or town that resulted in inefficient use<br />

of the land resource and land use conflict.<br />

An urban development NPS must also<br />

recognize the importance of maintaining<br />

high class soils for primary production for<br />

future generations and protecting “high<br />

class soils from inappropriate subdivision,<br />

use and development”.<br />

“A further concern our members face is<br />

the expansion of the peri-urban boundary<br />

into land used for primary production and<br />

commercial activities associated with the<br />

primary sector. Reverse sensitivity issues<br />

such as odour, aural or visual amenity<br />

concerns have the potential to affect the<br />

viability of some rural-based businesses.<br />

We seek greater controls be applied to<br />

the NPS-UD [urban development] with<br />

respect to controlling reverse sensitivity<br />

risk. It is Federated Farmers’ experience<br />

that reverse sensitivity issues inevitably<br />

arise when urban uses of land displace<br />

rural uses of that same land,” Federated<br />

Farmers’ submission said.<br />

Farmer-led group nets environment cash<br />

A <strong>Selwyn</strong> catchment group is set to net just<br />

over $2m for environmental improvements<br />

on more than 60 properties in the district.<br />

The government funding is going to<br />

the Tinaku Project, led by the farmerled<br />

Ellesmere Sustainable Agriculture<br />

Incorporated. The group has 100 members<br />

and aims to improve water health, mahinga<br />

kai and cultural values.<br />

The $2.2m from the Ministry for Primary<br />

Industries (MPI) will pay for four and eight<br />

full-time equivalent staff working with<br />

landowners across 46,000ha. The activity<br />

will include fencing and planting to protect<br />

streams, drains and wetlands, as well as pest<br />

control and improved biodiversity.<br />

The Tinaku Project reaped about a third<br />

of the Jobs for Nature funding announced<br />

by Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor<br />

this month. Four farmer-led catchment<br />

groups in Canterbury and Otago were given<br />

between $176,000 and $2.3 million over<br />

the next three years to fund environmental<br />

improvement work across dozens of sites in<br />

their regions.<br />

The Jobs for Nature projects include,<br />

North Otago Sustainable Land Management<br />

Riparian Project – $362,000; Lindis River<br />

project, Otago – $772,000 and Pomahaka<br />

Wetland Restoration project, South Otago –<br />

$176,000<br />

O’Connor said most of the initiatives were<br />

being led by established catchment groups<br />

with hundreds of farmer members. The<br />

work would involve fencing and planting<br />

around water bodies, clearing of unsuitable<br />

trees, and pest control.<br />

Overall, Jobs for Nature could employ<br />

between 15 and 20 people as well as<br />

specialist contractors over that period.<br />

O’Connor said producing food and fibre<br />

for the world with strong environmental<br />

credentials would create more value for our<br />

products and would help New Zealand’s<br />

economic recovery from Covid-19.<br />

It was important that the Jobs for Nature<br />

projects were led by farmers and the<br />

community, O’Connor said.<br />

“Farmers working directly with each other<br />

through local catchment groups means<br />

they can develop and share their knowledge<br />

about what works for them and provide a<br />

connected network for support and advice.<br />

Through Jobs for Nature projects they can<br />

start to make a difference that will be seen<br />

in years to come.”<br />

Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of<br />

Commerce Chief Executive Leeann Watson<br />

says the Jobs for Nature funding for<br />

Canterbury and elsewhere was recognition<br />

of the significant work undertaken by the<br />

rural sector. Most farmers were focused<br />

on improving and protecting their land<br />

for future generations and many had been<br />

early adopters of environment management<br />

plans for the last seven or eight years, she<br />

said. “Environmental stewardship is also<br />

an important area in terms of securing<br />

market access for food and fibre, so this<br />

funding will play a role in helping to boost<br />

our agriculture exports - a key economic<br />

driver for the region, which was particularly<br />

evident through Covid”.<br />

The funding also showed that<br />

sustainability had not been overlooked in<br />

the Covid environment.<br />

Preserving the health of rivers, wetlands,<br />

and habitat biodiversity has always<br />

been a key issue for the region, “so we<br />

are encouraged to see the Government<br />

addressing this challenging issue in<br />

partnership with the farming sector and<br />

hope that it is a signal for the Government’s<br />

approach to accompanying sector<br />

regulations and other sustainability issues,”<br />

Watson said.<br />

A further $2.9m of government funding<br />

would help about 300 Hurunui farmers<br />

work towards improving the health of their<br />

land and water through applying farm<br />

environment planning and sustainable land<br />

management practices.<br />

GARDENING<br />

SOME OF the easiest plants to<br />

grow are herbs and flowers.<br />

Getting to know these<br />

garden staples is also a great<br />

way to learn about the basics of<br />

gardening.<br />

Step 1: Mint<br />

To grow it well and noninvasively,<br />

always plant mint in a<br />

big pot in quality media (potting<br />

mix) with a few water crystals to<br />

help keep the plant moist (not<br />

waterlogged) and make sure<br />

it gets a little shade during the<br />

hottest part of the day.<br />

Step 2: Which herbs go<br />

with mint?<br />

Plant parsley and coriander in<br />

the same pot as mint, because<br />

these herbs love moist soil too.<br />

Make sure you give each plant<br />

plenty of room to expand as they<br />

grow.<br />

Step 3: Which herbs like<br />

drier soil?<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Herbs and flowers are the easiest to grow<br />

AS WE move through<br />

summer, keep the garden<br />

looking fresh for your outdoor<br />

enjoyment.<br />

1. Conserve water<br />

– While we may not reach<br />

Australian levels of urgency<br />

about water shortages, the ecomessages<br />

are just going to get<br />

tougher from now on. Take a<br />

good look at how you use water<br />

in your garden and make some<br />

plans. Whatever your method,<br />

Thyme (common, pizza,<br />

lemon), rosemary and<br />

fragrant oregano, prefer being<br />

more dry than moist and love<br />

soaking in all day sun. They<br />

prefer less nitrogen so they can<br />

be sparing with the frequency<br />

of watering: established plants<br />

need only 30min of water once<br />

or twice a week, vegetables<br />

more.<br />

2. Mulch to save<br />

work – Mulch is the instant<br />

makeover. It suppresses weeds,<br />

makes a tired garden look<br />

fresh and slows water<br />

evaporation.<br />

But only apply it once the soil<br />

is good and wet, as otherwise it<br />

develop their fragrant oils.<br />

Step 4: Basil the loner<br />

Basil (common, purple, thai,<br />

giant, tiny leafed) needs a little<br />

more care to produce a good<br />

harvest. Grow it in a big pot that<br />

can be moved around to catch<br />

the sunshine and remove it from<br />

windy conditions. Do not water<br />

basil plants directly on the leaves<br />

or the soil as the dampness may<br />

attract fungal disease.<br />

Step 5: Add coriander<br />

It’s easy as long as you plant<br />

the seeds just below the surface<br />

and right where you want them<br />

to grow in your garden. To slow<br />

down the ‘bolting’ of coriander<br />

harvest it often.<br />

will not help your plants.<br />

3. Plant locally – Native<br />

plants (from your part of the<br />

country) are perfectly adapted<br />

to your local sun, rain and wind<br />

conditions, so they look after<br />

themselves.<br />

4. Mow lightly – In the<br />

summer lawns do best when<br />

the grass is longer (about 25-<br />

30mm).<br />

The soil and roots are shaded<br />

Step 6: Easy flower<br />

growing<br />

To start an easy<br />

Christmas flower garden,<br />

cultivate a small space or<br />

garden edge and turn some<br />

heat-treated sheep pellets into<br />

the soil.<br />

Then grab a mix of marigold<br />

and cornflower seeds and throw<br />

them across the garden. Place<br />

a thin layer of soil on top and<br />

water them in.<br />

Step 7: Buy seedlings<br />

Now buy some flower<br />

seedlings of your choice and<br />

place them at regular (or<br />

irregular) spaces throughout the<br />

growing space. Make sure you<br />

water the garden daily.<br />

Keep your garden fresh during warm weather<br />

MOIST: Use water sparingly to<br />

avoid shortages.<br />

TASTE: Mint can be grown in the garden or in a container.<br />

so the lawn does not get sunburnt<br />

and more moisture is retained.<br />

If you can, leave clippings on<br />

the lawn to help conserve soil<br />

moisture and feed it.<br />

5. Add water – There is<br />

nothing like water to enhance<br />

a garden.<br />

While a full-scale water<br />

feature can get expensive,<br />

garden centres now sell small<br />

plug-and-go bubbling water<br />

bowls.<br />

GARDENING 35<br />

Put a plan in place for holiday season<br />

SUMMER IS here. It’s a hugely<br />

busy time in the garden with<br />

vigorous growth on most plants,<br />

harvesting of early maturing<br />

summer vegetables and preparing<br />

the garden if you are planning on<br />

heading away.<br />

Vege garden<br />

Summer salad vegetables will<br />

be maturing mid/late <strong>December</strong>.<br />

Regularly apply side dressings of<br />

fertiliser to enhance the growth of<br />

these plants. With quick maturing<br />

crops such as radishes, dwarf<br />

beans and lettuce, use succession<br />

planting (every two to three<br />

weeks) to avoid them all maturing<br />

at the same time and ensuring<br />

you have a constant supply.<br />

Plan you watering or irrigation<br />

programme to encourage strong<br />

plant growth while avoiding<br />

wasting any water. Apply mulch<br />

to reduce water loss and help prevent<br />

weed growth. Early planted<br />

potatoes should be ready to be<br />

harvested for Christmas Day.<br />

Continue to remove the lateral<br />

growth on your tomato plants<br />

until they reach around 1m, and<br />

tie up to stakes at regular points<br />

(every 100–150mm).<br />

Summer flowers<br />

With little effort, summer<br />

annuals can provide masses of<br />

colour and beauty in the garden<br />

MAINTENANCE: <strong>December</strong> is a good time to deadhead<br />

your roses and encourage more blooms.<br />

or containers. Summer flowers<br />

include; ageratum, cornflower,<br />

cosmos, marigolds, petunias,<br />

portulacas, salvias, strawflowers<br />

and zinnias. Deadhead old finished<br />

flowers to encourage more<br />

flowering.<br />

Fruit trees<br />

Early stone fruit such as plums<br />

start to ripen towards the end<br />

of the month. You may need to<br />

remove some excess new growth<br />

and thin laden bunches of<br />

fruit to help promote heavy cropping.<br />

Water newly planted fruit<br />

trees and mulch as soils begin to<br />

dry.<br />

Berries and strawberries<br />

Boysenberries, blackcurrants,<br />

gooseberries and raspberries can<br />

be harvested in late <strong>December</strong>.<br />

They will be developing new<br />

canes that should be tied down<br />

or removed when there is<br />

excessive growth.<br />

It’s a great month for harvesting<br />

strawberries. Protect plants with<br />

bird netting so they don’t eat the<br />

fruit before you do.<br />

Place pea straw or crushed bark<br />

around plants so fruit are sitting<br />

on a ‘clean bed’. Water as required<br />

and with the minimum of maintenance<br />

you should be harvesting<br />

delicious, juicy strawberries well<br />

into January.<br />

Roses<br />

It’s an excellent month for rose<br />

before the difficult months of<br />

January and February. It’s important<br />

to continue to deadhead<br />

finished flowers to encourage<br />

more blooms.<br />

Apply regular side dressings of<br />

rose fertiliser to encourage strong<br />

healthy growth. Carry out summer<br />

pruning to promote further<br />

flowering. Inspect your roses<br />

regularly for signs of blackspot<br />

and rust and instigate a regular<br />

spraying programme to control<br />

these diseases.<br />

Lawns<br />

Depending on specific summer<br />

weather conditions, lawns<br />

should either be in peak condition<br />

or beginning to dry out.<br />

Avoid mowing too low over hot<br />

summer months and do not apply<br />

fertiliser.<br />

If water supply allows, irrigate<br />

lawns in the cooler parts of the<br />

day. If you have bare patches<br />

appearing, you will need to be<br />

patient and wait until autumn before<br />

carrying out any repair work.<br />

Preparing the garden for<br />

summer holidays<br />

Because we traditionally<br />

holiday in the Christmas/January<br />

period, “deserting” the garden at<br />

this time can lead to problems.<br />

It’s better to plan ahead and be<br />

prepared.<br />

Avoid problems by not having<br />

your vegetable crops maturing<br />

during this time, applying a good<br />

layer of mulch and installing a<br />

timer or asking a neighbour to<br />

water your garden while you are<br />

away.<br />

This is especially important<br />

with plants in containers.<br />

Fun and exercise<br />

BMW X6 challenges design rules<br />

CAR MAKERS are always<br />

looking for a point of difference<br />

in their designs.<br />

A good example of that is<br />

BMW’s X6 sport utility vehicle.<br />

Well such is its style it doesn’t really<br />

fit the SUV mould, its coupetype<br />

rear quarter tapers markedly<br />

to provide a fast-back look, one<br />

which is distinctive and eyecatching.<br />

If you add in genuine<br />

bulk – the X6 is big – then you<br />

have a bold, brash SUV that has a<br />

polarising style.<br />

Most of the people who I talked<br />

about it liked it, but then there<br />

were others who said it was a bit<br />

over the top and unnecessarily<br />

complicated as a design, especially<br />

up front where an angular,<br />

illuminated grille commands<br />

attention.<br />

The X6 has always been<br />

controversial, when it was first<br />

launched it had only four seats<br />

which seemed a bit of a waste in<br />

such a big car. However, BMW<br />

has addressed that, it has been a<br />

five-seater for several years now.<br />

The X6 lands here with three<br />

engine options; well, two are pretty<br />

much the same design, a 3-litre<br />

six-cylinder diesel with two different<br />

power outputs, but for those<br />

who like to stick with a high-performance<br />

petrol engine, the M50i<br />

is V8-powered. All have BMW’s<br />

xDrive four-wheel-drive system.<br />

The two diesels have nomenclatures<br />

of 30d and 50d respectively.<br />

This evaluation surrounds the<br />

entry-level model which lists at<br />

$149,400, the 50d and M50i are<br />

both priced at $187,100.<br />

Given its stature, the X6 has a<br />

plush, spacious interior, and for<br />

those onboard you are cocooned<br />

in the lap of luxury, and there is<br />

an abundance of trim details that<br />

will provide a pleasurable travelling<br />

experience for all occupants.<br />

The driver also gets a wealth of<br />

functions and controls, many of<br />

which are voice activated while,<br />

of course, the X6 has the benefit<br />

of a multitude of safety systems<br />

incorporated into the vehicle.<br />

Up front sits the big diesel, it<br />

has massive power outputs even<br />

in what is considered low-power<br />

form. BMW claims 195kW and<br />

620Nm, if that is not enough<br />

grunt for you the 50d adds 99kW<br />

and 140Nm. For me, though, the<br />

30d has enough to satisfy. Power<br />

is sufficient enough to claim a<br />

6.5sec time to reach 100km/h.<br />

That’s not bad for a tubby vehicle<br />

which weighs just over twotonne.<br />

The engine is strong and wilful,<br />

it is grunty under load and in a<br />

subdued way it lets you know it is<br />

enjoying its work. It throbs away<br />

and is free-revving in its nature,<br />

hauling to the 5000rpm redline<br />

willingly, and that is unusual for<br />

a big diesel. Not that there is any<br />

real need to explore high revolutions,<br />

diesels of this type have<br />

mammoth mid-range torque, and<br />

for that matter, the X6 is an absolute<br />

dynamo during a highway<br />

overtake. Such is the acceleration<br />

BMW X6 30d: Sports sedan feel with notable power/handling balance.<br />

you need to keep a close watch on<br />

the speedometer, the X6 charges<br />

to dizzy speeds with little effort<br />

and little sensation of speed.<br />

It also seems unfathomable<br />

that you can have this huge<br />

charge of energy from under the<br />

bonnet and still achieve remarkable<br />

fuel usage economy. BMW<br />

also claims a 7.1-litre per 100km<br />

combined cycle average. On my<br />

long highway run the readout was<br />

listing a 5.2l/100km instantaneous<br />

figure at 100km, the engine<br />

almost idling at just 1350rpm.<br />

That contributed to an overall<br />

9l/100km figure when I had finished<br />

evaluating.<br />

Overall, that’s perfectly acceptable,<br />

and figures that will continually<br />

surprise the X6 buyer, you<br />

can have huge impetus without<br />

needlessly scoffing fuel.<br />

The engine drives to all four<br />

corners through an eight-speed<br />

• Price – BMW X6 30d,<br />

$149,400<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4941mm; width, 2019mm;<br />

height, 1693mm<br />

• Configuration – Sixcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2993cc, 195kW, 620Nm,<br />

eight-speed automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 6.5sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km<br />

automatic transmission. It is a<br />

sequential shifting type with<br />

paddles attached to the steering<br />

wheel should the driver desire<br />

to take control of the gearshift<br />

process. Left to its own devices<br />

the gearbox works the torque pattern<br />

of the engine well, upshifting<br />

early to minimise fuel usage.<br />

Perhaps the biggest surprise<br />

of all with the X6 is that of its<br />

ELEGANT: Coupe-type rear quarter characterises the BMW X6. An elegant and plush interior pampers the occupants.<br />

handling. I’ve mentioned it is a<br />

big car and you’d expect there<br />

to be limitations when twisty<br />

backroads are encountered. That’s<br />

far from the reality, the X6 belies<br />

its bulk, it feels tightly connected<br />

with the road and it is remarkably<br />

agile. A lot of that can be attributed<br />

to the massive 22in Continental<br />

tyres which have amazing<br />

sidewall flexibility along with<br />

unyielding grip.<br />

Steerage is informative and<br />

the entire vehicle is balanced<br />

over the suspension. Of course,<br />

you are paying a premium price<br />

for the X6 and you’d expect all<br />

the ducks to be in row, but the<br />

power/handling balance of the<br />

X6 is something quite extraordinary,<br />

it feels like a sports sedan,<br />

it is something quite special<br />

when the never ending mixture<br />

of New Zealand’s road types are<br />

presented.<br />

The X6 is a complicated car to<br />

describe. For one it is the quintessential<br />

family wagon, it is also a<br />

recreational model which would<br />

be at home on the Mt Hutt skifield<br />

access road, and it is a performance<br />

SUV that is very wilful<br />

with its high power outputs.<br />

For my money the ‘baby’ of the<br />

series would win out. As much<br />

as I like big V8 petrol engines,<br />

the 3-litre diesel charms with its<br />

honesty and economy; however,<br />

deciding between the 30d<br />

and 50d is another conundrum<br />

altogether.<br />

and supercars to fixer-uppers<br />

What to ask a real estate agent<br />

Selling a home is a big life decision, both<br />

financially and emotionally. The journey<br />

can be a roller coaster, which is why<br />

finding a licensed real estate agent you feel<br />

comfortable with is so important.<br />

“Remember, you’re looking for the<br />

person who you’re going to trust to sell<br />

what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their<br />

success (or failure) will have a marked<br />

impact on your new life plan,” says the<br />

Real Estate Authority (REA).<br />

New Zealand has about 15,000 real<br />

estate agents who help people navigate<br />

big-deal transactions every day.<br />

“The trick is to find the one that will be<br />

best for your situation,” he says.<br />

If you’re going to get the best out of your<br />

real estate agent – and they’re going to get<br />

the best price and conditions for your<br />

property – then you need<br />

to put the work in before<br />

you sign with anyone. That<br />

means basing your decision<br />

on more than gut feel or the<br />

fact that their office was easy<br />

to park outside.<br />

You need someone who<br />

understands what it takes<br />

to sell a property like yours<br />

and a proven track record to<br />

show for it. You also need<br />

to feel comfortable with<br />

them personally – if<br />

you don’t find them<br />

pleasant to deal<br />

with then buyers<br />

may not enjoy<br />

the experience either.<br />

If you’re not sure how to get the ball<br />

rolling, ask the agent the following<br />

questions:<br />

- What do you know about my<br />

neighbourhood? How are sales in this area<br />

and who is buying?<br />

- Do you work independently or with<br />

other agents?<br />

- What kind of advertising or marketing<br />

do you use – and which ones will work for<br />

my property? What extra marketing costs<br />

will I have to pay?<br />

- What are your commission rates? Are<br />

you open to negotiation?<br />

- Do you have testimonials or references<br />

from people whose properties you have<br />

sold in the last three months?<br />

- What do you recommend I do to<br />

prepare my home for sale?<br />

- Why should I hire you?<br />

Asking these questions helps you<br />

form a picture of the agent’s experience,<br />

knowledge and how they structure their<br />

business.<br />

These days you’d expect an agent’s<br />

marketing plan to have an online focus<br />

that includes major property websites and<br />

social media. Find out what the marketing<br />

plan will cost and ask them to explain<br />

their rationale – you’re the one paying for<br />

this service, after all.<br />

Remember that you can negotiate on<br />

the marketing costs and commission –<br />

don’t be afraid to ask the agents if they<br />

are interested in an incentive-based<br />

commission, where they will earn more<br />

commission if they sell your property<br />

above a certain price.<br />

Once you’ve found the agent you think<br />

you’d like to work with, check them out<br />

on the Real Estate Authority’s (REA)<br />

online public register, which will tell you<br />

if the agent holds a current licence. This is<br />

important because it’s illegal to carry out<br />

real estate agency work without a licence<br />

and if you deal with an unlicensed person<br />

the REA will be unable to help you if<br />

things go wrong.<br />

When you’ve decided on an agent, the<br />

terms and conditions of your contract will<br />

be set out in an agency agreement that<br />

you both sign. This is a legal document,<br />

so make sure you get advice from a lawyer<br />

and that you understand your rights and<br />

responsibilities.<br />

Green Homes are building<br />

better in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Anyone can build a house. But if you’re looking for<br />

a greener home build company that’s also affordable<br />

for the average Kiwi, Green Homes Christchurch will<br />

set you up with a warmer, drier, healthier and more<br />

energy efficient home. And if a more sustainable<br />

solution isn’t your main priority, the running cost<br />

efficiencies are an added bonus that will put pennies<br />

back in your pocket.<br />

Higher spec that costs less<br />

With five branches around NZ and expansion<br />

plans in the near-future, high spec homes that cost<br />

less to run are Green Homes’ speciality. They’re the<br />

only residential design and build company in NZ<br />

that is ISO compliant for Energy Management and<br />

most branches have in-house design teams that<br />

can customise almost anything. Plus, as a standard<br />

specification you’ll get perimeter edge foundation,<br />

extra wall and ceiling insulation, energy efficient<br />

appliances, WELS rated tapware, and solar power<br />

options that will contribute towards reducing your<br />

carbon footprint.<br />

Homestar and Lifemark options<br />

for improved performance and<br />

liveability<br />

Homes can be expensive to run and a huge 80% of<br />

floor heat can be lost through the perimeter of the<br />

slab of your home. Green Homes build well above<br />

[Edition datE]<br />

2<br />

code and have high insulation standards; their process<br />

includes the perimeter edge of slab—which means it’ll<br />

be warmer than most other new homes. So, you can<br />

enjoy your home in comfort and not worry about how<br />

you’ll pay to run it.<br />

If you’re smart about home building, you can also<br />

future proof your home for safety, potential mobility<br />

impairments, or disability needs. Building in features<br />

now—like wider doors and flush entrances, customheight<br />

kitchens, non-slip tiles, easy-reach light<br />

switches—will cost very little extra now but save you<br />

thousands long term.<br />

Acland Park show home opening<br />

soon<br />

The land prices and infrastructure of <strong>Selwyn</strong> are<br />

boosting popularity of the area; the sheer space<br />

is a big drawcard for building. And according<br />

to testimonials, customers are loving the entire<br />

experience when building with the Green Homes<br />

team—the service, the team, their comfy new home—<br />

and you can too, in as little as 16 weeks.<br />

Their new show home in Acland Park, Rolleston<br />

will open early in 2<strong>02</strong>1; it’ll be highly rated for<br />

Homestar and Lifemark certified so it’s<br />

worth a peek. You can also reach the team on<br />

Confident at Auctions<br />

Looking confident may be all you need to be the last<br />

bidder standing when the hammer goes down.<br />

Does your blood pressure go sky-high at<br />

the sight of an auction room? Chances are<br />

some of your fellow bidders are doing all<br />

in their power to psych you out and win<br />

the bidding.<br />

Securing a property isn’t just about<br />

having the most money. Sometimes the<br />

winning bidder is the one with the most<br />

confidence.<br />

They use psychology to convince<br />

opposing bidders to give up, hoping to<br />

make everyone else think they’ve got more<br />

to spend than anyone else in the room.<br />

Too often buyers have preconceived<br />

ideas about how the auction will unfold<br />

and have their confidence knocked when it<br />

doesn’t go their way.<br />

Two can play at that game. You just need<br />

to get your strategy right.<br />

Looking confident may be all you need<br />

to be the last bidder standing when the<br />

hammer goes down.<br />

To be that person you need to do some<br />

preparation. Make sure you go to a few<br />

auctions first to get used to them.<br />

Come bidding day, park yourself on<br />

the side at the front so that you can<br />

see everyone in the room and, more<br />

importantly, they can see you whether<br />

they’re at the back of the front.<br />

It gives you a vantage point and shows<br />

the opposition you are bidding confidently<br />

against them.<br />

You are hoping that the other buyers<br />

Show<br />

home<br />

Guide<br />

have a plan in place.<br />

Often that’s to start low. So if you come<br />

in with a relatively high first bid, you may<br />

rattle them.<br />

“The lower the open bid the more people<br />

can afford to bid. So you could knock out<br />

some of the opposition before they even<br />

place a bid if you choose the right opener.<br />

Don’t start at $500,000 for a house you<br />

know is going to go for at least $800,000.<br />

Put an opening bid of $785,000.<br />

Immediately your opposition is going to<br />

think it will go incredibly high and might<br />

be unnerved.<br />

Call each bid out confidently. “It shows<br />

you are comfortable and in control.<br />

The more confident you seem the more<br />

people will think you have done it before.<br />

It’s a really good idea to vary your<br />

bidding increments.. If it’s going up by<br />

$2000 bids and it’s below your limit don’t<br />

be afraid to put a $10,000 bid in..<br />

Your competition is always thinking<br />

about that next $2000 bid and if you<br />

change the rhythm from $2000 to $10,000<br />

you show you have the money and it<br />

changes where their next bid has to be.<br />

Instead of $4000 more it is $12,000 more.<br />

Finally, if you’re a couple, make sure<br />

you’ve discussed every aspect of the<br />

auction before you get there. As soon<br />

as you start looking at each other or<br />

conferring, the opposition will think<br />

you’re weak.<br />
