Record turnout

at Santa Parade

It was a record turnout

of more than 5000

spectators at the Lincoln

Christmas Parade and

Market on Saturday. The

sun was shining and it

was a brilliant day. Dozens

of floats made their way

through the township,

preceding the grand finale

of Santa on the last float. The

parade has been an annual

tradition for decades.

A GREAT step forward for

the community on page 1

today.

Finally, an ambulance

will be based in Lincoln (at

the fire station) which will

service the township and

surrounding areas.

This will mean an

ambulance won’t have to

race from Rolleston or

Leeston to back up the

usual first responders in an

emergency in rural areas –

volunteer firefighters.

The firefighters have

done a tremendous job

in recent years, not only

tackling fires, but being

on call to be the first to

vehicle crashes, and medical

emergencies.

They will no doubt

continue to do this but

with an ambulance and

paramedics now based in

Lincoln, it will make their

lives a lot less frantic and

stressful.

SELWYN REMAINS a great

place to live for most residents

but a district council survey

SORED shows dissatisfaction CONTENThas

increased over swimming pools,

roads and public halls.

The findings from the district

council’s annual survey of

residents shows 92 per cent

think Selwyn is a great place to

live, consistent with the results

in 2018 (91 per

cent) and 2019

(93 per cent).

Three quarters

of residents

surveyed also

said they felt a

sense of belonging

and community.

However,

residents’

satisfaction has decreased for

community-run swimming

pools, down 10 per cent, urban

roads, down 5 per cent, and

public halls, down 4 per cent.

Overall, 63 per cent of residents

rated the district council’s

performance as good or very

good.

The survey notes that it is unclear

what impact the Covid-19

pandemic may have had on the

figures. It was undertaken in

July, soon after the lockdown,

when a number of district

council services were closed or

reduced.

Mayor Sam Broughton said

the results reflect the positive

feeling around the district.

“I’m delighted that the people

of Selwyn think this is a great

place to live, in particularly as we

continue to grow at such pace.

•From page 1

Selwyn Times reported in

August an ambulance would

be based at the station but

there has been uncertainty

over the last few months as

to a start date for the service.

Berry said ambulances

have previously had to travel

from Rolleston and Leeston

to help those in need in Lincoln

but response times will

now be much faster for these

emergencies.

NEWS 7

Response times will be much faster

THE DISTRICT has fared

better than the rest of the

country from the impacts of

Covid-19.

The district saw a smaller

impact on its economy than

the rest of New Zealand,

with its economy already

returning to growth and adding

more than 600 jobs since

lockdown.

This is according to the latest

report on the impacts of the

pandemic by analytics company

Infometrics.

The report shows Selwyn’s

economy decreased by 10.4

per cent over the April-June

quarter this year, compared

with a 12.4 per cent decline

nationally.

The district’s economy grew

over the three months to

September, ending 2.6 per cent

higher than the same time last

year.

Nationally over the same

period the economy decreased

by 3.2 per cent.

By the end of September the

district had also added 640

jobs, with healthcare and

social assistance and manufacturing

the industries leading

the way.

However, the report warns

that the biggest impacts of

Covid-19 are still to come and

the international recession will

slow New Zealand’s economy

as the district’s construction

boom eases.

The forecast is for Selwyn’s

economy to slow down less

than the rest of the country.

This second report on the

expected impacts of Covid

for the district forecasts it will

do significantly better than

initially thought, thanks to a

stronger than expected residential

market and construction

growth.

The report warns that

the impacts on tourism

and other international

demands are expected to lead

to an economic downturn

nationwide over the next year,

before the economy begins to

grow again in 2022.

It forecasts Selwyn will see a

smaller economic slowdown,

led by a predicted easing in

the district’s construction

boom. It also forecasts that this

“It’s going to benefit everyone

with quicker response

times.

“Rather than coming from

Rolleston, we’ll have an

ambulance based here,” said

Berry.

As well as Lincoln, the

ambulance will be available

to attend emergencies in

areas including Rolleston

and Tai Tapu.

Last year the Lincoln

Volunteer Fire Brigade responded

to 54 motor vehicle

crashes and 17 medical calls.

There are also St John ambulances

based at Rolleston

and Darfield.

Last year, Rolleston Fire

Station became staffed

24/7 meaning it has one

ambulance operating 24

hours a day, seven days

a week and a second

ambulance on a 12-hour day

shift from mid-morning to

mid-evening.

Covid-19 economic hit less for Selwyn

slowdown and recovery will

come later than the rest of New

Zealand.

The district’s economy is

forecast to decrease by about

0.9 per cent by March next

year compared to 4.1 per cent

nationally and by 0.7 per cent

the following year.

The economy nationally is

predicted to grow by 1 per

cent.

The report is based on

national and international

conditions at the time of

writing, and notes that

forecasts could change

depending on global factors

such as the rollout of vaccines

in 2021 and travel restrictions

which it forecasts to last into

2022.

be due at the same time.

When the Auditor-

General has assessed that

a school is in financial

difficulty, the Ministry of

Education is asked whether

it will continue to support

the school.

If the ministry confirms

it will provide support,

schools can complete their

financial statements as a

‘going concern.’

THis has been the case

for Tai Tapu School.

THe ministry wrote three

horrible, what are they expecting

to find, they found

a speaker, that’s about it,

is that worth a crime?”

Tweedy said.

Senior Sergeant Dean

Harker said in the last two

to three weeks there had

been an increase in thieves

smashing windows to

break into locked vehicles

throughout the district,

with numbers climbing

letters supporting Tai Tapu

School to the Auditor-

General in 2017, 2018 and

2019.

Said Casey: The Auditor-

General has required

letters of support in 2017,

2018 and 2019.

“THese letters ‘of going

concern’ confirm our

commitment to providing

continued operational and

staffing support for the

foreseeable future.

“We have been working

with Tai Tapu school to

improve its finances since

2017. At the end of 2019

the school had negative

working capital of $37,000.

This is an improvement

of $24,000 or 39 per

cent since 2017. We will

continue to support the

school to get back to

financial health,” she said.

Police follow leads after

car break-ins continue

into double figures.

This was alongside a

spate of thefts of items

from unlocked vehicles,

particularly at Lincoln and

Rolleston, over the last

couple of months.

Police were following

some leads and investigating

a couple of potential

offenders in relation to at

least some of the incidents.

He urged residents to report

not only such crimes

when they occurred, but

also any suspicious vehicles

they saw being driven

around streets. Residents

should get a description of

the vehicle and registration

number, although the latter

may be of limited use

depending on whether the

licence plate was stolen.

Harker said the more

reports the better, as such

information could help

police know what areas to

seek any relevant security

camera footage.

Courts finished at new sports centre

THE FIRST courts have been

completed at Selwyn Sports

Centre.

The four polyurethane

courts, similar to many school

gyms, have been laid and the

lines painted on last week. The

building is on track to open in

time for the 2021 winter sports

season.

The courts will be a multiuse

space, with the markings

set up for basketball, netball,

futsal, tennis, korfball, floorball

and other sports.

The surface will also allow

the space to be used for exhibitions

and events. The hall will

also host an interactive sports

and educational wall.

Selwyn Netball has agreed

with the district council to use

the centre for the 2021 winter

season and beyond.

Selwyn Netball Centre president

Andrea James confirmed

it will use the centre for its

year 1 to 4 programme and

its Saturday competition will

be split between the Selwyn

Sports Centre and the court

facilities in Lincoln.

In addition, a community indoor

netball competition open

to the district’s residents will be

held at the sports centre.

The centre will have a focus

on serving the community,

including clubs and schools,

and will feature two halls with

four courts each, divided by a

central corridor space.

As well as the polyurethane

courts, the John F. Reid Courts

on the other side of the building

will host four courts with

a sprung wood floor, which is

currently being laid.

This hall will have courts for

basketball, netball, futsal, volleyball

and badminton, while

a mezzanine around the top

of the hall will feature a 240m

walking track.

The building features panelling,

which provides high

quality insulation and removes

the need for internal cladding.

It will also have solar panels

that will generate about 80

per cent of its power during

summer.

LAYBY WELCOME

MANY OF you will have seen

the whirligig mite without

realising what it was.

THis bright red 1.5mm

diameter mite known

scientifically as Anystis races

around randomly over plant

and soil surfaces searching for

prey.

THere are at least 18 species

of whirligig mites around

the world with the most

common species being Anystis

baccarum.

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each

week he introduces a new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise

public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things around us. Check out the full list of

invertebrates found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincolnsection

THis species has been

observed and recorded on

iNaturalistNZ in Wellington,

Canterbury and Dunedin

regions.

Little is known about these

mobile mites in New Zealand

but overseas they are known

to be a predator of pest

species such as spider mites,

aphids, leaf hoppers, thrips,

codling moth larvae, scales,

mealybugs, springtails and

psyllids.

It is very likely that they feed

on similar species here in New

Zealand.

Whirligig mites are

cannibalistic at all stages

and adults survive for 15-17

days.

Interestingly, no males

have been recorded in this

species and females reproduce

through parthenogenesis.

Eggs are laid in clusters

numbering 15 to 24 in soil

litter or under bark.

That’s a fail.

Jet setters now call Prebbleton home

The Faces of Selwyn exhibition was launched last year

and a new set of 12 stories about people in the district

are on display at Selwyn Libraries. The stories, written

by Hayley Tate, celebrate diversity and highlight the

differences in people’s backgrounds and journeys to

Selwyn. Selwyn Times continues its coverage.

Sam and Lillian

Ragnarsson

TWO STRANGERS from

Iceland and China, sat next to

each other on a flight to New

Zealand. 19 years later, they call

New Zealand their home.

For Sam and Lillian

Ragnarsson, living in different

countries was the norm.

At 23 years old, Sam left his

birth place Iceland, and until he

moved to Prebbleton six years

ago, he had never stayed in one

place for more than a year.

Having lived in countries,

including England, Australia,

and China, he was very happy

to gain New Zealand citizenship

recently.

“For someone living in seven

countries, five continents and

moved this often since I left

home at 17, to find a place and be

WHEN LINCOLN High

School teachers Sandra McLean

and Robyn Wylie planned

a fundraising Christmas

production, their target figure

was around $1000.

However, after tallying up

how well the school’s inaugural

Christmas Extravaganza went,

accepted was really important.”

Likewise, Lillian grew up in

China, later worked in Japan and

went to America to learn English

for a year.

While it was a big milestone

giving up her Chinese passport

and visa, Lillian says gaining

citizenship made her feel a part

of New Zealand.

“I am ready to fight for New

Zealand, that’s how I feel.”

The couple have always had

a connection to New Zealand.

They first met in 2000 at

Melbourne airport and by

coincidence had the seat next

to each other on the same flight

to Auckland. They got talking

again several years later over the

internet and got married in 2008

in China.

After living together for a year

each in Japan, the USA and China,

the two project managers sat

they have arrived at the stunning

total of $2369.90.

“It went fabulously, excellently;

it exceeded expectations, because

the students really made it their

own,” drama head of department

McLean said.

Students and their dedicated

teachers were not motivated only

by raising money for the charity

of KidsCan, but also by wanting

to make the extravaganza experience

as enthralling as possible.

“This year we really powered it

out,” said McLean, who oversaw a

similar smaller-scale event at the

school a couple of years ago.

Students staged the extravaganza

in the school’s hall over six shows –

two daytime performances and one

evening performance on each of

two days in late November.

down with an Excel spreadsheet

to make an important decision

about where to settle down. They

listed everything they wanted

from a country and New Zealand

came out on top.

“We always laugh that we

met on the way to New Zealand

and then we ended up in New

Zealand, so many years later.”

Sam said.

They chose Christchurch

to help out with the postearthquake

rebuild and were

surprised how friendly everyone

was.

“When you walk on the street,

people say hello, give a smile,

that’s something that never

happened to me when I lived in

Tokyo,” said Lillian.

In the first year, Sam studied

software and information technology

at Lincoln University and

would travel into town passing

through Prebbleton.

Visitors were treated to a walkthrough

grotto experience and an

interactive grotto experience. For

the latter, they got to do fun activities

such as pin the nose on the

reindeer, shoot the bah humbug

balloons with a nerf gun, limbo as

low as they could, and guess what

was in wrapped presents.

This was followed by a 30min

drama and dance production,

“I remember the day that I first

drove past Prebbleton, we came

in and I just saw the trees and I

was like wait a minute, we’ve just

come out of the city. We just see

for miles; mountains, cows and

horses and it’s like wow, this is

where I want to live.”

Now having lived in Prebbleton

for over six years, the pair

enjoy the peace and quiet and

have finally found their feet.

Sam owns a slice of Iceland at

restaurant The Kiwi Viking in

Christchurch and volunteers as

the emergency response street

co-ordinator in Prebbleton and

runs two Prebbleton Facebook

community groups.

Lillian supports Chinese residents

who do not have access to

the Facebook group on We Chat.

Sam says there’s now even an

Icelandic flag flying at Prebbleton

School where his girls attend.

The pair considered leaving

Prebbleton and buying a lifestyle

block, but their girls Nicole and

Caitlin turned to them and said,

we love this house, we love this

place, why should we leave?

“And it made us think, they’re

right, why would we leave?”

Lincoln High production raises more than $2300

mostly staged by year 10 drama

students and year 9 dancers.

McLean said over 800 visitors

came through altogether, and it

was fantastic to now be able to

support KidsCan.

The charity partners with

low decile schools and early

childhood centres to provide

resources such as food, raincoats

and shoes for needy children.

The town that never was sits just

ALTHOUGH regarded as

being ‘just off the beaten track,’

Ladbrooks has remained the

town that never was.

After over 170 years of

European settlement, the

community remains relatively

unknown apart from those who

are fortunate enough to live in

this charming location situated

between Halswell, Tai Tapu,

Lincoln and Prebbleton.

Originally known as ‘the

swamp south of Prebbleton’ or

as ‘Lincoln Swamp,’ the name

Ladbrooks was only given to the

area sometime in the 1890s.

William Ladbrook and his

family had emigrated from

Britain and were one of the first

colonists to settle in the area in

1853. The official name came

about through the establishment

of the local primary school

in 1889. It was first known as

Prebbleton Side School until local

residents decided on a name

change to Ladbrooks later that

year.

This new name was reinforced

a few years later when a new

railway station, known as Ladbrooks

Station, was built to serve

farmers living between Lincoln

and Prebbleton. The station

was built on land that had been

formerly owned by the Ladbrook

family along Birches Rd, north

of Robinsons Rd.

Historian and district council staff member

Wayne Stack continues his regular look at

Selwyn’s past. Anyone with suggestions for

future features can phone Wayne on 021 119

9107. This month’s feature is about the small

community of Ladbrooks

IMPORTANT: Ladbrooks Hall is sited next to the school on

Barnes Rd, it houses a roll of honour for men and women

who served in the two world wars.

This station became part of the

Christchurch-Southbridge-Little

River branch line and provided

a modern communication and

transport link for residents.

It consisted of a sizeable

weatherboard ticket office and

waiting room, built on a concrete

platform, along with a siding and

storage goods shed, typical of the

small railway stations throughout

the district at the time.

The boggy ground prone to

flooding, that remains a feature

of the area, made the location

unsuitable for the establishment

of a township. Although,

it appears it may have been the

dream of some when the local

community hall was built in

1913; the name ‘Ladbrooks Town

Hall’ was proudly painted on the

front of the building for decades.

After 107 years the original

hall remains an important meeting

community, especially for the

school which is located next to

it on Barnes Rd; and after recent

refurbishment, it continues as a

popular venue for weddings and

other social events.

As Ladbrooks has no official

war memorial another important

role the hall fills in the

community is housing the rolls

of honour which record the local

men and women who served in

the two world wars.

The school and the hall

became, and remain, the social

centre for Ladbrooks. The school

was built on land donated by a

local farmer, John Sharp, and the

original two-classroom wooden

building not only provided

primary education for local children,

but also became the hub of

community.

This was where local events

such as dances, concerts, socials,

singing clubs, card playing

evenings, Sunday school lessons

off the beaten track

NEWS 19

In the early years children

would ride ponies to school or

walk along the web of unsealed

roads.

In 1889 the school role was just

18 pupils, but by the early 1900s

it had risen to 90. It currently has

around 150 students. In 1966 a

new school building replaced the

original wooden structure, which

was then demolished.

After World War 1 several

tennis courts were built next to

the school and the tennis club

that was formed in the 1920s still

remains well supported within

the community.

During the 1950s a number of

senior players gained high honours

within the premier competitions

throughout the county.

Farming was the main feature

of the area, but this was only

achieved through drainage and

clearing of flax, toi-toi and rushes

that originally covered the peaty

land. Early pioneering families

such as the McDrurys and Mc-

Carthys from Ireland, Tuckers

and Mussons from England, and

the Arnsts, Roeslers, Schroeders

and Meyers from Germany, set

about digging drains and building

rough roads to help establish

sustainable farm land. This

was mainly done through hard

manual labour and horsepower.

The area was exposed to seasonal

flooding of the Halswell

River and to ensure the roads

in the area remained usable, the

local roads board (forerunner of

the district council) transported

shingle from quarries at Birdlings

Flat, Halswell and Broadfield

to raise the level of the roads

so that they were above the level

of the flooded farmland.

Dairying was an important

feature of the community, along

with growing potatoes and other

crops, with cows initially being

milked by hand.

In 1893 the Central Dairy

Company built a new creamery

to serve the district near the

intersection of Ellesmere and

Robinsons Rds.

Local farmers would deliver

their milk to the creamery by

horse and dray for separation.

By 1906 this had been taken over

by the Tai Tapu Dairy Company

which had its own larger creamery

in Tai Tapu, with local milk

then being processed there or at a

new smaller creamery that

had been built near the intersection

of Ellesmere and Tancred

Rds.

Ladbrooks lacked the churches

and a hotel that were commonplace

in most pioneering

communities. However, it did

have a store for a number of years

that had been opened by John

Brown on Robinsons Rd, near

the intersection with Barnes and

McDrurys Rd.

This establishment provided

general goods, including bread,

milk, meat, household items,

and later on, petrol. It also

incorporated a post office and

telephone bureau, where locals

could send and receive mail and

telegrams, along with being able

to make telephone calls at a time

when not everybody had a home

phone.

Over the years as family cars

became commonplace and roads

Left:

Ladbrooks

School

it was

demolished

in 1966.

Right: the

store before

1955.

improved, many locals chose

to shop in nearby towns, such

as Lincoln, for a greater variety.

Through the loss in local custom

the store became financially

unviable and closed in 1955.

The building reverted back to a

private residence and can still be

seen on Robinson Rd, around the

corner from the school.

Today, dairying is still a feature

of Ladbrooks, but there is only

one dairy farm operating in the

area, which belongs to the Stone

family on McDrurys Rd. Most of

the traditional family farms have

been broken up as the land was

more profitable being subdivided.

The sealed and picturesque

tree-lined country roads, along

with its proximity to Christchurch,

has ensured that the area

is highly sought after real estate

for those looking for a country

lifestyle within a short commute

to the city.

The physical character of

the district has changed from

the early years, where colonial

weatherboard farmhouses have

been replaced with many modern

palatial homes set on lifestyle

blocks of only several acres.

Although the railway station

has long gone, the concrete

platform can still be seen from

the cycleway on Birchs Rd,

north of the Robinsons Rd

intersection.

•Descendants of the

original settlers still live

in the area, including

Maurice McCarthy, who is

part way through writing

a history of the area and

who would be pleased to

hear from anyone who has

old photographs or family

stories of the district (email

Selwyn still a great

place to live –

residents say

Selwyn remains a great place to live according to most Selwyn residents.

The Council’s annual survey of residents this year shows 92% of people surveyed thought Selwyn

was ‘a great place to live’, consistent with the results in 2018 (91%) and 2019 (93%).

Three quarters of residents surveyed also said they felt a sense of belonging and community.

Mayor Sam Broughton says the results reflect the positive feel of the district.

“I’m delighted the people of Selwyn think this is a great place to live, in particular as we continue

to grow at such pace. We’re constantly thinking about the future for all our communities across

Selwyn, the challenge ahead is how we maintain our high standards as we grow”.

Residents were asked to rate a range of Council services and facilities, with rubbish collection

(94% rated good or very good), recycling (90%), playgrounds (86%), libraries (85%) and parks and

reserves (84%) the highest rated services.

All areas of the Council’s water services—covering drinking, waste and storm water—saw

increases in satisfaction among users.

Satisfaction decreased for community-run swimming pools (down 10%), local urban roads (down

5%), and public halls (down 4%).

Overall 63% of residents rated the Council’s performance as good or very good.

The survey notes that the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic are unclear, but it was undertaken in

July, soon after lockdown when a number of Council services were closed or reduced.

Council Chief Executive David Ward says the Council is looking closely at ways to address the

issues raised in the survey.

“We are always looking to improve the service we deliver to our community and we have taken

account of this feedback in our planning for services in the coming year and further ahead.”

The survey was carried out by independent research company Research First, and surveyed 624

people using telephone, cellphone and online surveys.

The full residents’ survey is available at: selwyn.govt.nz/residents-survey.

Annual report shows Council in sound position

The Council’s annual report shows its financial position remains stable despite the impacts from

Covid-19. The report, which is now available on the Council website, shows the district continued to

experience high levels of population and economic growth during the financial year. The Council largely

kept to its budgeted spending, with expenditure $1.8 million under forecast mainly from delays in work

due to the Level 4 lockdown. Strong economic and population growth helped fuel positive operating

revenues and cash flow, largely made up of infrastructure assets being transferred to Council from

developers and increased development contributions. The sound economic position leaves the Council

with a good capacity to deal with uncertain times in the future.

Selwyn in good place to respond

to Covid impacts

Selwyn has fared better than the rest of the country and is wellplaced

to bounce back from the impacts of Covid-19.

The district saw a smaller impact on its economy from Covid-19 this

year than the rest of New Zealand, with Selwyn’s economy already

returning to growth and adding over 640 jobs since lockdown,

according to a report on the impacts of the pandemic by analytics

company Infometrics.

It is the second Infometrics report on the forecast impacts of

Covid-19 for Selwyn and predicts the district will do significantly

better than initially expected, thanks to a stronger than expected

residential market and construction growth.

However, the report warns the biggest impacts of Covid-19 are

still to come as the international recession slows New Zealand’s

economy, before returning to growth in 2022.

Mayor Sam Broughton says it is good to see the resilience in the

economy so far, but the report highlights the need to continue to

support each other over the next 18 months.

“We’ve seen a fantastic response by our community over this year.

It’s good to see that we remain in a good place to handle the tough

times ahead. Just as important as our economy though will be our

community strength and how we support each other.”

The report shows Selwyn’s economy contracted by 10.4% in the

April-June quarter compared to 12.4% nationally. Over the next

three months it bounced back, ending the September quarter 2.6%

higher than last year, while nationally the economy shrank by 3.2%.

Selwyn’s economy is forecast to see a small slowdown later than

the rest of New Zealand, shrinking by 0.9% for the year to 30 March

2021 compared to 4.1% nationally and shrinking again by 0.7%

over the next year, before returning to growth.

You can read the full report at selwyn.govt.nz/economy.

Next steps for Proposed District

Plan as consultation closes

Consultation on the Proposed Selwyn District Plan has now closed.

The Council received about 500 submissions on the plan, which

was open for the public to have their say for 10 weeks.

Council Planning Manager Ben Rhodes says the plan will now go

through further submissions, hearings, decisions, and appeals

stages.

“That process normally takes around two years and we’re hoping

to have decisions on the new plan by the end of 2022. The full

completion of the final plan will depend on any appeals that follow

Council’s decision.”

The Council will now prepare a summary of the submissions, which

will be made available to the public early in 2021. Followed by a

further submission period which will allow people the opportunity to

comment on matters raised in the submissions.

All submissions will then be presented to a hearing panel made

up of councillors and independent hearing commissioners. Public

hearings will be held for those who wish to be heard, before a final

recommendation is presented to the Council.

The Council will give notice of its decision on the Proposed District

Plan (and matters raised in submissions, including its reasons for

accepting or rejecting submissions). Submitters have the right to

appeal this decision to the Environment Court. The plan will then be

adopted, except any areas that have been appealed and these will

be added according to the outcome of the appeal.

Development contributions are retained to fund new infrastructure and support future growth needs

from developments. Vested assets reflect the transfer of infrastructure assets from developers to the

Council. Neither of these are available to reduce rates.

The full annual report is available at selwyn.govt.nz/annualreport.

ON THE

ROADS

On the Roads

West Melton Community Park work underway

The first stage of the West Melton Community Park is due before Christmas, but a small area may

face delays.

The Council is still hoping to have the first stage of the community park at the West Melton Domain

open before Christmas. However, there is the potential a small part of this area may have to be

completed in the new year due to delays caused by the weather and difficulty accessing construction

material due to high demand.

The first stage of the community park next to the

West Melton Community will be the skate park,

including a bowl, ramps, ledges and a pump

track. A new playground, sheltered barbecue

area and half-court basketball court will be built

in the new year, along with landscaping to help

create a space for the whole community to enjoy.

The Council is also investigating an incident

where someone broke into the construction area

and skated on the wet concrete. This risked

causing significant delays and extra costs to the

project. The Council is looking at solutions to

prevent further vandalism that could delay when

people are able to enjoy the park.

Trainer Chmiel drives 700th winner

• By Jonny Turner

TERRY CHMIEL’S evolving

harness racing career hit new

heights when he drove his 700th

winner in his own colours at

Addington on Saturday night

with Annie Richter.

The Leeston horseman ticked

off the milestone when getting

the best out of his four-year-old

in a thrilling three-horse finish to

race 1.

“It is good to get there, really

good,” Chmiel said.

Chmiel’s winning run in the

sulky started almost 26 years ago

when Seaview Girl won at Westport’s

Christmas meeting in 1994.

After that the reinsman went

on to become a leading junior, a

leading open reinsman and then

a trainer who concentrated on his

own team rather than travelling

to take outside drives.

“As a junior, I was pretty busy,”

Chmiel said.

“I used to get heaps of drives

and travel a bit, but when you

start training your own team you

don’t go as much and you start

just driving your own and a few

others for good friends.”

“It is hard to do both, getting all

the travelling done and trying to

do the team at home.”

At the end of Chmiel’s time as

a junior, he hit the sport’s biggest

heights in headline-making

Win keeps Leeston-Southbridge at top of leader board

A DEPLETED Leeston-

Southbridge still managed to

hard-fought win over Ellesmere

rivals Lincoln.

Archie Reekie (40 runs off 58

balls), Chris Beatson (48 off 68)

and Tim Field (45 off 63) enabled

the combined XI to post a respectable

209/7 from their 45 overs

at Lincoln Domain on Saturday

before they restricted Lincoln to

192/8 in reply to lead the competition

via a superior net run rate.

The reinsman brought home

his first group 1 win when Sunny

“It was a good Cup Week that

week. I won on Cup Day with one

– he paid about $70 and

that just kicked the whole week

off,’’ Chmiel said.

steady flow of group race victories

Chmiel drove over the next two

decades.

Some of the highlights include

final over, Ohoka managed three

dot balls and then they effected a

run out to put Granger on strike.

He skied the penultimate ball

to point but a simple catch was

grassed and the batsmen scrambled

two runs to tie the scores.

Then, off the final ball of the

contest, Granger calmly drove

through the covers to secure a

two-wicket triumph.

A spectacular collapse condemned

Oxford-Rangiora to a

33-run victory over Darfield at

Pearson Park after they lost six

wickets for just 10 runs after appearing

comfortable at 144/4 in

pursuit of 188.

Stakes in 2007.

“Hurricane Flyer was a good

horse to me, I just liked driving

him.

“It was good to win the big race

up north with Susie Maguire, too.

And I have won some good races

Beatty (3/22) engineered the rout

at Darfield ended Oxford’s chase

in the 42nd over.

Southbrook, who had to default

their last two matches, managed

to field a team for their away fixture

in Cheviot but the makeshift

line-up was no match for the

hosts, who prevailed by 48 runs.

Cheviot’s 154/8 was based on

a string of double digit contributions

from the top order, though

William Inch’s 30 was the pick of

the bunch.

Weedons had the bye.

Short scoreboards:

Leeston-Southbridge 209/7 (C

Beatson 48, T Field 45, A Reekie 40;

C Shalfoon 3/44, A Gulati 2/37) beat

down south, as well. I have had a

pretty good run, to be fair.

“There have been some nice

horses over the years.

“I can’t complain, it has been

a good game to be in. There are

long hours, but you get rewards,’’

he said

Heading north to drive for

other stables is not the focus for

Chmiel these days.

The commitments involved in

preparing his own team make

that his main focus.

“I have been a big seller over

the years. You have got to concentrate

on getting them up and

going instead of driving,’’ Chmiel

said.

Chmiel’s dedication to training

has seen him prepare many of the

big race winners he has driven.

They include Southland

Oaks winner Dibaba, Southern

Supremacy Stakes winner

Memphis Tennessee and

Kaikoura Sales Series Aged Pace

winner Franco Tai.

Chmiel has also provided other

reinsman highlights in the sulky

through his training.

Nek Time won the Southland

Oaks and Harness 5000 event

with Dexter Dunn driving.

Dibaba won the Premier Mares

Championship for Stephen

McNally and the Sires Stakes

Northern Mares Classic for Tim

Williams.

Lincoln 192/8 (H Paterson 58, C

Enjoy the spirit of

Christmas on a budget

Christmas does not have to

be an expensive time of year,

for those whose budgets are

tight this year.

Creating your own wrapping paper and

decorations not only adds an individual

look for the festive season but can also be

a great way to spend family time – and

save money.

Old Christmas cards can be

transformed into great decorations. The

more vintage the better: simply cut out

Christmassy shapes like trees and stars

from the covers, put a hole in the top

and string them up around the house.

If you have any cards left over create

personalised gift tags with a difference.

Pine cones can be placed in a vase

on the table or in your wood burner

or strung up as festive bunting. They

look great when spray-painted gold or

silver and placed randomly around the

house.

Christmas decorations can also be

made using a dough consisting of flour,

salt, and water moulded into any shape

you want such as stars, Christmas trees

or Santas. Bake until hard and decorate

with glitter and paint.

Adorn areas like mantelpieces

and bannisters with real leaves, pine

cones, knitted or crochet garlands,

paper chains, fabric bunting or edible

treats.

Instead of buying a live Christmas

tree each year, think about having a

living potted Christmas tree that you

can plant outside once the festive

season ends. Or make your own

Christmas tree using driftwood.

Wrapping paper can be

personalised by buying simple brown

paper or sacking and adding stamps

using potatoes and some paint. Children

can create their own artwork with felt

pens and stickers or how about using

their artwork from kindergarten or

school? Christmas-themed stamps can be

another option with red and green ink.

Making Christmas gifts is another

great option not only to save money but

add your own personal touches to

your present. There are hundreds of

inspiring recipes for festive cookies,

ginger bread, cakes and fudge or how

about filling a special mug with coffee

sachets and a chocolate spoon?

Finally purchasing presents for the

entire extended family can cost a lot.

Think about having a secret Santa

where everyone buys one gift for a

set amount of money and then have

a lucky dip – always plenty of fun

without emptying the wallet.

Create your dream

SELWYN RURAL LIFE

Defer Prebbleton

plan for rate’s sake

North Canterbury Federated Farmers (NCFF)

supports a freeze on the Prebbleton Community

Centre project and backs a review of plans for

Leeston.

The provincial arm made the recommendation as a

submission on rates to Selwyn District Council’s draft

annual plan for 2020/1.

SDC presented three options to reduce the level

of rates increase 1. Proceed with proposed 3.5%

average rates increase; 2. Reduce the rates increase

by identifying savings, 3. No rates increase from the

2019/20 rates.

NCFF’s submission said: “We are aware that many

Selwyn businesses could not operate during Level 4,

and it is likely there will be a considerable reduction

in productivity in the district for some time. This

could have a direct impact on the district ratepayers’

ability to meet any increase in rates. Nonetheless,

we believe the Council has options open to them to

ensure it balances meeting growth demands with

its responsibility to sustain the long-term social,

economic and cultural wellbeing of its residents well.”

NCFF accepted SDC may not be able to completely

stall a rate increase ‘but we think a 3.5 per cent, on

average (emphasis added), is untenable. We suggest,

instead, the increase is lowered across the different

rate classes. We believe the council is in a strong

position to do so. For example, we note rates in

the rural areas are at the higher end of the increase

range, between 5.4 per cent and 7.3 per cent. This

should be lowered to 2 per cent at the most.”

NCFF said its rates position was based on several

factors, including Selwyn being the fastest-growing

district in New Zealand in the last 10 years. The

growth was likely to continue and, with it, the

ratepayer base that SDC could draw rates from.

Further, in September 2019, SDC received the

highest credit rating of any council in New Zealand:

an AA+ by ratings agency Fitch Ratings. This rating

was based on the council’s prudent financial forecasts

and the diversity of the district’s economy.

Overall, the SDC debt was very conservative, and

with the current interest rates at an all-time low, it

could borrow more for key capital projects. Also, in

the 2018 Annual report, SDC stated it under-spent by

$2m on its operational budget ($106 million actual

compared to the forecasted $108 million.

SDC also reported it received $20 million more

revenue than it expected to in the 2018 financial year.

“Crucially, SDC borrowed $45 million less than what

it intended to, and it has an operating cash flow of

$49 million.”

Meanwhile central government was willing, during

this unusually challenging time, to support and

accelerate ‘shovel ready’ capital projects across the

country.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE


‘Consent to Farm’

regime takes hold

About 900 farmers in the Selwyn Waihora

land and water catchment now need a land

use consent to farm, including a Farm

Environment Plan.

On farms with nitrogen losses over 15kg

per hectare per year, reductions of between

5% (horticulture) and 30% (dairy) are

required from 2022.

After gaining a land use consent, the farm

will be regularly independently audited

to ensure good management practices are

being followed, and nitrogen limits and

reductions are being met.

Stock access rules are tighter in Selwyn

than elsewhere, including drains as well

as other waterways, wetlands and lakes.

Within the cultural area, further restrictions

apply for wetlands and beds of lakes, rivers

and drains.

A Cultural Landscape Values

Management Area takes account of the

mahinga kai, wāhi tapu and wāhi taonga

(sacred or treasured) sites, and places

additional requirements on farmers to

address these values.

One of the most precious areas is Te

Waihora/Lake Ellesmere, which has

vulnerable to nutrient loads from the

catchment.

Not all nitrogen losses from farming,

community and industrial activities end

up in the lake, but regardless of source,

it’s widely accepted that restoring the

macrophyte beds in the lake and addressing

the legacy phosphorus in the lake bed

silts will be challenging. Current work to

rehabilitate the lake includes macrophyte

(aquatic plant) trials behind artificial wave

barrier, a floating wetland trial and using a

nutrient model to explore ways to address

the lake’s phosphorus.

Alongside this work, the Selwyn Waihora

Zone Committee, a regional-council

linked body responsible for environmental

planning, has allocated $100,000 per year

of Immediate Steps biodiversity funding to

biodiversity projects. More than $600,000

has already been allocated to a wide range

of projects.

Projects include a Hororata biodiversity

corridor, featuring more than a dozen areas

of native vegetation including wetland. The

aim here is to create “stepping stones” for

biodiversity from the top of the catchments.

Region-wide, there’s also Te Ara Kākāriki,

a native planting programme large areas

across the plains to Te Waihora/Lake

Ellesmere.

Native planting will also protect and

rehabilitate nutrient-loaded springheads

and wetlands, which will help protect

vulnerable species like Canterbury Mudfish.

IF YOU DO not have a

glasshouse but are keen

on gardening, you should

invest in one.

It can be a plastic or glass

structure and if you have to

choose between the two, go

for glass as you only have to

replace broken panes – not

all of the plastic every few

years.

Plastic is cheaper, especially

if you build your own.

It takes only a little bit of

building skill to construct

an A-frame using 50 x

50mm wood and covering

it with horticulture plastic

film. Alternatively cover

with a clear light-type nova

lite.

The bigger the house, the

more ventilation is needed.

The door is one major vent,

and one or more roof vents

should be included. Never

paint or use shade cloth on

the outside of my glasshouses.

The glass is allowed to

become dirty from the end

of winter but washed clean

once a year in autumn.

With right use of the vents

and water you can keep the

temperature from getting

too hot in summer. (If you

need to shade the house in a

hot summer you can make

up a slurry of hydrated

lime and water and paint

this over the outside of the

glass.)

Try to keep the temperature

below 30 deg C and

ideally at about 25 deg C.

Good ventilation and water

on the concrete can keep

the inside temperature

lower than the outside.

Plants unable to stand full

benches for shade or string

the sun-sensitive plants.

VERSATILE:

A glasshouse

will present

you with

many plant

growing

options.

Many gardeners have an

earth floor in their glasshouses

so they can grow

directly into the earth. Soil

can harbour diseases which

will likely effect plants, so

be careful.

Opt for a concrete floor

and grow all plants in

containers. This makes it

easy to remove a plant if it

becomes diseased.

On hot sunny days you

can wet the concrete and

the evaporation will cool

the glasshouse. If you are

unable to lay a concrete

floor then place weed mat

over the soil and cover

with pea metal, several

centimetres thick.

GARDENING 33

If you want summer colour – plant now

• By Henri Ham

DECEMBER MARKS the start of

summer.

This is also the perfect time

to plant some fun and (often)

colourful summer veges.

General garden tidy up

• Trim your hedges, small trees

and shrubs

• Deadhead your flowers

• Mulch around your plants

• Trim lawn edges

Flower garden

Fill up your garden with some

bright blooms this summer. Plant

varieties like foxgloves, lavender,

impatiens and poppies.

If you’re after something a bit

different, why not try growing

some lupins or some salvia, they’ll

add a bit of colour and height to

your garden.

If you’re wanting to create a bee

haven, remember to add some

blue, yellow and purple flowers

to your garden – flowers such

as asters, zinnias and daisies are

great for them.

Vege and herb garden

Now is the time to get stuck

in and plant your cucumbers,

tomatoes, chillies, watermelon,

rockmelon, sweet corn and passionfruit.

We recommend staking

your tomatoes and cucumbers

early, to prevent damaging their

roots later on.

While your garden is in full

swing, remember to keep an eye

on your zucchini, tomatoes and

capsicums; as they are prone to

blossom end rot.

Blossom end rot is a fungal disease

which is caused by a calcium

deficiency; which is a result of irregular

watering. The best way to

prevent it from spreading is to cut

the infected leaves off and burn it

– do not throw it in your compost

heap, as it will spread.

And take care of those weeds –

with the humid weather they’ll be

growing like crazy. Harvest your

herbs early to prevent them from

going to seed.

Give your passion fruit another

boost of fertiliser as they will be

in full swing at the moment.

It’s basil season. Nurseries will

tock many varieties, try bush,

lemon, Thai, sweet, red rubin,

cinnamon, Greek mini and

mixed. Cinnamon and lemon

basil are quite fragrant and work

well in desserts too. Try using

the lemon basil in your custard

or crème brulee filling, to add a

citrus burst of flavour.

It’s also time to harvest your

garlic. Traditionally garlic

harvesting should occur on

the longest day of the year,

(December 21) but keep an eye

out on the leaves – if it’s turning

a yellowish colour it’s time to pull

them out; you don’t want your

hard work to go to waste.

Christmas

Get ready for

with intelligro

With Christmas just around the corner, now is the time to

get everything ready for the big day. Us Kiwis love to do

some DIY around the house, and summer is a great time to

get it done. Whether you are looking to lay some pavers,

add mulch to the garden or grab a gift card for that hardto-buy-for

relative, Intelligro has you covered.

The summer heat will start to take its toll, so weeding,

feeding, and mulching are on the top of the list for garden

maintenance this month. Your plants will love some more

nutrients to maintain healthy growth, and adding a good

layer of mulch will not only suppress the weeds, but help to

retain that much needed moisture in the soil.

Environmentally-friendly Forester

A SOUTHERLY gale was

buffeting the media evaluation

car and the roads were drenched

with rain, not ideal conditions to

be out driving.

However, I was relaxed because

I was driving a Subaru Forester

sport utility vehicle, its permanently

engaged four-wheel-drive

offering security through grip

and composure. It wasn’t just any

Forester either, it was a hybrid,

one of two petrol/electric models

that Subaru has introduced this

year, the other being the XV.

If you are thinking that being a

hybrid jeopardises the concept of

Forester (or XV) you had better

think again, both hybrid variants

are still capable cross-country

vehicles when grip is low and slippery

conditions demand surety.

I’ve always liked the Forester,

it’s a mid-size SUV that makes

you feel part of the car, it always

feels tightly connected to the

road, and when conditions are

bad you, as a driver, can relax

knowing that the mechanicals are

working for you.

The Forester has always been

based on the Impreza floorpan,

so that gives you some indication

of its size; it’s not big, but it does

have all the SUV characteristics

you want when buying into that

part of the market.

The hybrid system is fairly

traditional, think Toyota Prius

and the other hybrids from

that stable, the Forester’s unit is

similar in its function; it is a lot

more than a mild system, it is

fully developed and contributes

markedly to economy and performance.

Subaru rate the Forester hybrid

with a 6.7l/100km combined

cycle fuel usage rating. That compares

to the Forester in standard

form of 7.4l/100km which, over

time, will represent financial

savings.

During my evaluation time,

and considering conditions

were at their worst, l recorded

an 8l/100km average with a

5l/100km instantaneous figure

appearing on readouts when I

was travelling at 100km/h, the

engine firing at 2000rpm.

Of course, as with all traditional

hybrids the electric motor

would want to work the entire

time. It can’t realistically, so the

engine cuts in to generate power

to the batteries and provide drive

through a continuously variable

automatic transmission to each

corner of the vehicle.

All in all it’s a complicated system

made simple through clever

engineering practise. Drive is

smooth and seamless through all

of the processes, and unless you

were told the Forester had hybrid

technology I’d defy anyone really

knowing, bar the comprehensive

practicality.

display graphics that inform the

driver of what is happening mechanically

and electronically.

Providing drive in the first instance

is a horizontally-opposed

engine with twin-overhead

camshafts on each bank. Subaru

simply calls the engine a boxer

type, or else as I grew up, that

configuration was known as a

flat-four made popular in those

days by Jowett, Volkswagen and

Porsche. Interestingly, the hybrid

model has just 2-litre capacity, as

opposed to a 2.5-litre unit in the

petrol-only models.

Subaru rates the boxer hybrid

with 110kW and 196Nm.

Of course, you get extra power

through the electric system that

adds a chunky 12.3kW and

66Nm.

Together the Forester hybrid

feels sprightly, and without power

loss through the transmission

there is good acceleration and

healthy overtaking power available

at highway speed. The hybrid

Forester can reach 100km/h from

a standstill in 10sec and cut out

a 120km/h from 80km/h time of

5.8sec.

These figures are adequate for

the Forester’s role, and given

that there isn’t huge weight in

the lithium-ion battery pack the

Forester still feels agile.

Because the weight sits mostly

low, especially up front where the

boxer design sits low under the

bonnet, there is little gravitational

shift when corners are presented.

Add in considerable feel from the

225/55 x 18in Bridgestone Dueler

rubber and you get an involving

handling experience, and one

which is dynamic and informative.

I took the evaluation car on

my normal high country route, it

is quiet on the highway, and even

though the roads were wet for

most of the drive I felt comfortable

with the feel from behind the

wheel.

Inside, the Forester hybrid gets

all of the technical ingredients

and features for comfort that

has made the petrol-only model

a big seller through the years.

Safety also has a high presence,

and the camera-based EyeSight

driver-assist technology is also

included, easily contributing to

a five-star Australasian New Car

Assessment Program rating.

The Star Media accountant has

long been a Forester user. Not so

much in recent years when a replacement

brand was chosen, but

I would like to think that car will

soon go up for sale. I’m trying to

convince the keen skier that the

Forester is still the car for him,

and I’ve asked him the question,

would the return in petrol savings

over time justify the extra cost of

the hybrid?

Subaru list the petrol only

Forester Premium at $49,990, the

hybrid in that specification adds

$5000, although if you don’t want

all the bells and whistles a Sport

model lists at just $47,490, and

that would be the car for me.

Also, the extra reward you get

as a driver certainly justifies the

extra cost, and for those who feel

that hybrids are part of the ecofriendly

solution going forward,

choices such as those Subaru are

offering can only be a step in the

right direction.

When the Forester and XV

hybrids were launched, supply

was a problem, and in some ways

that’s a good thing – today’s new

vehicle buyers are well aware of

the benefits of hybrid technology.

Both models are now steady

on stream, and I guess Subaru

is looking at further developing

its hybrid system, watch for it

in other models in the near

future.

Your guide to all things Real Estate

in the Selwyn District

Home projects you

can start and finish

over the holidays

Home improvement projects (of the

design kind) aren’t necessarily long term

or big budget. In fact, get the right advice

and you can make quick work of a fresh,

new feel around your home. We spoke

to interior design experts McKenzie &

Willis for their tips on how you can use the

Christmas holidays to change things up

and start 2021 on a positive note.

Define a consistent style

There are no rules when it comes to

style; it all comes down to personal choice.

And sometimes, just creating a consistent

style from room to room is all you need

to feel at peace with a space. Common

elements like flooring and paint colour

or accent touches repeated in different

rooms (like something black in each

room) can create a flow throughout your

home. But you don’t need to wait for a

dramatic once-a-decade change. Let your

home evolve organically by changing a few

things each year and that’ll help you keep a

contemporary look.

Reimagine your layout

with furniture

Sometimes, just switching up your

layout can give you a fresh new feel, like

moving the furniture to follow the sun

and make the most of longer, warmer

days. You can take pieces away to create

more space, or find unique and interesting

pieces to add as an accent and focal point

of the room.

Swap out your colour,

texture and patterns

Small changes can have a big visual

impact. Painting or wallpapering a new

feature wall opens the door for a range of

accessory choices that will feel like a whole

new room. Play around with new cushions

or add a colourful rug to layer texture

and patterns into each room. Consider

warmer tones or move into greens and

terracottas— earthy and on-trend. Florals

and geometrics (think art deco) or even

slubby, chunky

textures like

wools and thicker

weaves. And for a

classic feel, linens

and cottons are always divinely fresh.

Create an outdoor room

If you’re starting from scratch, create an

outdoor ‘room’ simply by adding furniture.

Small, cosy corners can quickly become

intimate dining spaces (don’t forget to add

the twinkle of fairy lights) and outdoor

sofas make perfect sun-loungers for long,

lazy afternoons. Just add leafy green

plants or colourful potted blooms to blend

perfectly with outdoor accessories.

If you’re looking for ideas or expert

interior design advice, visit the

McKenzie & Willis showroom at 181

Blenheim Road, or check out their
