District to benefit from 

Fonterra payout boost 

• By Susan Sandys 

AN INCREASED dairy 

payout will inject $170 million 

into the Selwyn economy. 

Fonterra Co-operative 

Group Ltd on Friday lifted 

its 2020/21 forecast farm gate 

milk range to $7.30-$7.90 per 

kg of milk solids, up from 

$6.90-$7.50 per kgMS the previous 

month. The midpoint of 

the range, which farmers are 

paid off, has increased to $7.60 

per kgMS. This compares to 

last year’s payout of about 

$7.20. 

Dairy NZ estimates the 

higher payout will increase local 

spend in the district by one 

third – from the annual average 

of $564 million to $734 

million. There are 229 dairy 

farms in Selwyn, providing 

2510 jobs, paying about $200 

million in wages. 

The news comes hot on the 

heels of a quarterly Selwyn 

Business Survey organised 

by the district council, which 

shows businesses are overwhelmingly 

more positive 

about their outlook for the 

next six months than they 

were six months prior.

CASH COWS: An increased dairy payout will result in local spend of $170 million more 

than average in the district. 

Police nab 

40 motorists 

for failing 

to stop at 

intersection 


POLICE TICKETED 40 motorists 

in 45 minutes for failing to stop at 

the corner of Shands and Selwyn 

Rds between 9am and 10am on 

Monday. 

Senior Sergeant Dean Harker 

said it was mainly locals, from the 

surrounding area encompassing 

Rolleston to Prebbleton and beyond, 

who were rolling through the stop 

sign at the intersection. 

“Staff just couldn’t keep up with 

the cars that were doing it,” Harker 

said. 

“A lot of people just treat it as a 

give way; a high percentage of our 

crashes are at our stop signs.” 

The motorists, rolling through 

the intersection as they turned left, 

were issued with a $150 fine and 20 

demerit points. 

Harker said police were focusing 

on intersection behaviour as a high 

number of the district’s crashes occurred 

at intersections. 

“It’s a pattern of driver behaviour 

that needs to be changed. We are 

just continually going to crashes at 

these intersections where people 

aren’t stopping.” 

Intersection crashes make up 

more than 40 per cent of all road 

crashes in the district. The majority 

involve two or more vehicles and 

occur on rural roads.

THERE ARE 150 reasons 

why you should stop at the 

district’s intersections. 

Because that will be what 

it costs you if the long arm of 

the law is about (see page 1). 

Police launched a sting 

operation on Monday, 

catching 40 motorists in 45 

minutes for failing to stop at 

the corner of Shands 

and Selwyn Rds between 

9-10am. 

Most of the transgressors 

were locals who couldn’t 

seem to distinguish between 

a give way sign and a stop 

sign. 

But I guess the $150 

fine will make them get it 

right next time. 

On the money front, great 

news for farmers on page 

1 today with the Fonterra 

payout. 

Let’s hope they spend 

locally so many more share 

in the spoils, and the Selwyn 

economy keeps turning.

SELWYN MP Nicola Grigg is 

surveying women in the district 

to see how they have been 

impacted by Covid-19. 

The survey will go into 25,000 

residential letterboxes from 

this week which coincided with 

International Women’s Day on 

Monday. 

Said Grigg: “We know 

that women have been 

disproportionately impacted 

by the Covid-19 pandemic 

in terms of job losses, but 

what we don’t seem to have a 

full understanding of is the 

overarching psycho-social 

impact the lockdown and 

enduring stress has had on our 

wahine.” 

Grigg is National’s spokesperson 

for women, 

“As so many women experienced 

during the lockdown, 

they suddenly became the cook, 

cleaner, carer, home-schooler, 

and general-provider all while 

often trying to juggle their own 

business or work commitments 

or, worse, dealing with the stress 

of sudden unemployment. 

“I know in my electorate alone, 

social services are reporting a 

spike in demand due to relationship 

breakdowns and marriage 

separations. 

“And most concerningly 

schools and police have reported 

to me a noticeable rise in family 

harm incidents. 

“There has been a disappointing 

lack of leadership on the 

issue of women’s well-being from 

the Government so I am mailing 

out hard copies of a voluntary 

survey to 25,000 residential addresses 

across Selwyn. 

“It is only by gathering data 

that we can begin to understand 

the issues and, therefore, possible 

solutions” 

The survey includes 

questions such as: 

• What level of stress do 

you have in your personal 

life? 

• What level of support do 

you feel in your workplace? 

• Do you have access 

to counselling or other 

support? 

Grigg will present the 

findings to the public, NGOs, 

the Ministry for Women and 

the Government when they are 

collated later in the year.

Feedback for new Rolleston School being collated 


THE NEW Rolleston high 

school campus site will 

likely be within the current 

primary school zone areas for 

Lemonwood Grove School and 

the planned Te Rōhutu Whio 

school. 

Ministry of Education principal 

consultant Dr Gabrielle 

Wall at D & G Consulting said 

115 people attended three public 

meetings held last week to 

consult on the new school – two 

at Rolleston and one at West 

Melton. 

Those attending had not been 

asked which of the two options 

for a new campus site they 

prefer. The options are a new 

campus for Rolleston College or 

a whole new school. 

“There was a lot of questions 

and a lot of discussion, but 

people weren’t asked to express

preferences,” Wall said. 

For the option of a new 

school, people wanted to know 


where the new school would be 

located and what its enrolment 

zone would be. 

The answer, which was at this 

stage only indicative, was in the 

current primary school zone 

areas for Lemonwood Grove 

School and the planned Te 

Rōhutu Whio school, to open 

next year. 

For the option of a new 

Rolleston College campus, people 

wanted to know what teaching 

and learning would look 

like in a two-campus model. 

Rolleston College principal Rachel 

Skelton and senior students 

addressed the meetings. 

Wall will be collating 

feedback from the meeting, as 

well as from an online survey, 

which is open until Friday. 

She urged members of the 

public to fill out the survey, at

Bobcat driver injured 


A 27-YEAR-OLD bobcat 

operator was crushed when an 

implement the machine was 

lifting swung and smashed 

through the window of the 

vehicle. 

Hororata Volunteer Fire Brigade 

members responded to the 

incident at a Lake Coleridge residence 

about 10.30am on Friday. 

Brigade chief Bruce Sayer said 

by the time firefighters arrived, 

other workers nearby had been 

able to climb into the cab and 

operate the controls to move the 

implement off. 

“He was just sitting in the cab 

in pain,” Sayer said. 

The patient had crush injuries 

to his left limbs, mainly his left 

knee. 

One of the nearby workers had 

phoned 111 to alert emergency 

services, and by the time the 

brigade arrived, the Westpac 

rescue helicopter was also on 

the scene. Hororata firefighters 

were assisted by firefighters from 

Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade. 

A St John spokesperson 

said the man was airlifted to 

Christchurch Hospital with serious 

injuries. 

A second callout for the 

Hororata brigade on Friday was 

to a large fire which resulted in 

the destruction of a farm truck, 

hay barn and about 45 large hay 

bales near Hororata. 

Sayer said at about 3pm the 

brigade was alerted to the fire, 

which had started when hay on 

the back of the truck travelling 

on a farm was ignited by the 

engine’s exhaust. 

The driver did not notice until 

the truck was driven into the hay 

barn. The fire engulfed the barn. 

Hororata firefighters were 

assisted by teams from Coalgate, 

Dunsandel and rural units. 

Meanwhile, two sheds and 

several vehicles including two 

tractors were destroyed in a large 

blaze on a Leeston dairy farm 

in the early hours of Sunday 

morning. 

Fire investigator Gavin Lack 

said the fire, on Selwyn Lake 

Rd, was not suspicious, and 

most likely originated in one of 

the tractors. It could have been 

either from some sort of fault in 

the tractor, or from a build up of 

debris in its engine compartment. 

The last time the tractors had 

been used was about 5.30pm the 

previous day. 

“They can hold a lot of residual 

heat,” Lack said. 

He reminded farmers to 

regularly check for vegetation 

build-up and birds’ nests in 

their vehicles, as debris could 

smoulder away out of sight before 

igniting. 

Leeston deputy chief and officer 

in charge Matt Walker said 

the fire in one storage shed and 

one implement shed was fully involved 

when the brigade arrived. 

Four appliances and four tankers 

were on the scene, with Southbridge, 

Lincoln and Rolleston 

backing up the Leeston brigade. 

The farmer was trying to do the 

best he could to control the blaze 

when they arrived, using a dairy 

shed hose. 

There were other buildings 

including the farm’s milking 

shed nearby, however, firefighters 

managed to control the blaze 

and stopped it from spreading 

further.

piping are being installed near Akaroa’s reservoir. 

Akaroa’s water woes 

to be fixed by Easter 

• By Kurt Bayer 

CITY COUNCIL officials who 

have been scrambling to fix 

Akaroa’s water issues have vowed 

that the town’s water will be back 

on tap by Easter holidays. 

Four dead animals – two 

possums and two birds – were 

found during a routine supply 

check last month. 

Testing confirmed there was 

enough chlorine in the water to 

kill bacteria, but there was still a 

possible protozoa risk. 

It meant the Canterbury medical 

officer of health said to boil 

water used for drinking and food 

preparation. Residents in Akaroa 

and Takamatua have had to boil 

their drinking water since 

February 12. 

But the city council head of 

three waters and waste Helen 

Beaumont yesterday said she 

hopes that the boil water notice 

could be lifted by the middle of the 

month. – NZ Herald

NEWS 

• From page 1 

Leeston farmer Karl Dean, who 

is chairman of the North Canterbury 

Federated Farmers dairy 

section, said it was good news to 

hear of the new forecast. 

“I was delighted to be honest,” 

he said. 

An extra 40c per kilo of milk 

solids would represent about 

$120,000 more in annual income 

for an average Canterbury farm. 

His farm of 400 cows was 

below the Canterbury average, 

but nevertheless the extra income 

would mean he could reduce debt 

and upgrade infrastructure, like 

tracks and lane-ways. He was also 

planning on a milking machinery 

upgrade such as bringing in more 

automation to the cow shed. 

Dean said the increase would 

not only give farmers the opportunity 

to pay down debt as they 

recovered from the difficult times 

of the payout dropping to the $4 

range five years ago, but also to 

upgrade infrastructure on their 

farms which would be good for 

the local economy. 

Selwyn Business Group 

chairwoman Kathryn Peat said 

Selwyn’s rural backbone of agriculture 

was a big part of why the 

district’s economy was relatively 

strong. The increased payout 

forecast was coming at a good 

time for local businesses. 

Peat had once been a dairy 

farmer herself. From experience, 

any lift in income gave the opportunity 

to buy more machinery 

or plant. Most farmers spent that 

locally. 


Opportunity for farmers to pay down debt 

DELIGHTED: More automation in the dairy shed is on the horizon at the Leeston farm of

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Fonterra chief executive Miles 

Hurrell said China’s strong 

economic recovery, following the 

initial impact of Covid-19, was 

flowing through to strong demand 

for dairy. 

Hurrell said the lift was good 

news for farmers and the well 

being of rural communities. It 

would see the co-op contribute 

more than $11.5 billion to 

the New Zealand economy 

through milk price payments this 

year. 

The Selwyn Business Survey 

canvassed 120 businesses, across 

a wide range of industries from 

agriculture and construction to 

hospitality and retail. 

It found a net 28 per cent were 

expecting their sales to increase 

in the next six months. A net 

nine per cent expected to hire 

new staff. Selwyn businesses were 

slightly more confident in their 

sales outlook than businesses 

nationally. 

The preliminary February 

2021 result from ANZ’s Business 

Outlook showed a net 22 per 

cent of businesses expected their 

trading activity to increase in the 

year ahead. 

The Selwyn Business Survey 

results showed businesses were 

more confident than they had 

been during the first survey 

taken in September 2020, when 

a net six per cent of businesses 

expected a decline in sales. A net 

two per cent expected a reduction 

in staff. 

The survey results are 

summarised in net terms 

by taking the percentage of 

businesses reporting an increase 

in the indicator in question, 

minus the percentage reporting a 

decrease.

CANTERBURY Polythene 

Pipe Ltd owner operator 

Ian Watson in Rolleston is 

among Selwyn operators 

who have growing 

confidence in the success of 

their business. 

The quarterly Selwyn 

Business Survey organised 

by the district council 

shows businesses are 

overwhelmingly more 

positive about their outlook 

for the next six months than 

they were six months prior. 

“It’s improving with extra 

people coming in, it’s the 

growing population,” Watson 

said. 

While the Covid-19 

pandemic had made him 

more cautious when it came 

to recruiting staff, even in 

alert level two last week, 

he felt confident about the 

future. This was particularly 

the case leading into the 

South Island Agricultural 

Field Days, still set to go 

ahead on March 24 to 26. 

Canterbury Polythene Pipe 

Ltd supplies landscapers and 

irrigation system installers 

and other companies, 

making polythene pipe for 

home gardens, orchards, 

vineyards and farms. 

While Watson had been 

cautious about taking on 

an employee to help him 

as a sole operator in the 

manufacturing plant, if 

business continued on the 

same track he was hopeful 

of taking on one permanent 

full-timer next year. 

Beauty @ Lincoln owner 

operator Sonia Gulati said 

client numbers at the salon 

reflected the patterns 

suggested in the survey. 


Business owners’ confidence growing 

RELIEF: Salon operator Sonia Gulati is looking forward to 

an increase in business following alert level two.

She was starting to get 

busy again, improving 

after several tough months 

following the start of the 

pandemic. 

But then things became 

quiet again following 

last week’s alert level 

announcement. 

“Because they (clients) 

have that fear in their 

mind, they think people 

from Auckland have been 

travelling to everywhere in 

the South Island,” Gulati said. 

Some of her clients were 

elderly, others were carers 

of vulnerable people, and 

they did not want to run the 

risk of being exposed to the 

virus. 

And even in the case 

of the alert level change 

lasting just one week, it 

would still take some time 

for customers to build their 

confidence again. She said 

the salon had always been 

a bustling enterprise in her 

seven years there, and the 

pandemic had been the first 

time things went quiet. 

“It is such a burden on the 

business, but I don’t want to 

quit,” Gulati said. 

Selwyn Business Group 

chairwoman Kathryn Peat 

welcomed the results 

of the business survey, 

adding it was fantastic to 

see confidence among 

businesses. 

However, she said it would 

be interesting to see what 

the result would be now 

following the alert level 

change earlier this month. 

“It think the confidence 

levels do shift a little bit 

when we get a change in 

alert levels,” Peat said.

CALL FOR TEMPORARY 

PAUA FISHING BAN 

The Minister of Fisheries is being 

asked to approve an open-ended, 

but temporary, prohibition on 

recreational and commercial fishing 

of pāua from reefs adjacent 

to Ōnuku Marae in Akaroa. The 

Akaroa Taiāpure Management 

Committee is recommending 

closure to prohibit the taking of 

pāua from the Ōnuku area by recreational 

and commercial fishers. 

Said Ōnuku Rūnanga chairman 

Rik Tainui: “The pāua and other 

kaimoana on the reefs next to 

Ōnuku Marae were once abundant 

and were a significant resource 

for people who were fishing for a 

feed and to sustain the functions 

of the marae. We know from local 

knowledge that the fish stocks are 

nowhere near as plentiful and 

accessible as they once were.” 

Hearing expert 

in the Hornby 

community 

Audiology professional Claire Stacey 

introduces hearing care to Hornby 

ADVERTORIAL 

Local qualified Specsavers audiologist 

Claire Stacey is delighted to announce 

the introduction of a new audiology 

service in-store. Specsavers Audiology 

Hornby is open to help with any 

hearing concerns and to protect and 

support locals’ hearing health, through 

expert advice and caring service. 

According to research, approximately 

125,000 people in the Canterbury 

region suffer from hearing loss, and it 

can take 7-10 years for them to act on 

it. Claire is on a mission to get more 

people hearing better and provide 

the community with a supportive 

care-driven hearing service for 

years to come. 

“I became an Audiologist to help 

improve people’s lives by helping them 

to better communicate and interact 

with the world around them. Hearing 

loss can have a significant impact on 

someone’s life causing loneliness, selfisolation 

and dependence,” Claire says. 

“I’m really excited to be a part of 

the Christchurch community and 

I encourage all locals who might have 

concerns about their hearing to come 

in for a free 15-minute hearing check 

or even just a chat.” 

I THINK I MAY BE HARD OF 

HEARING – WHAT’S NEXT? 

“Our research found that two in three 

New Zealanders 40 years and older 

say there has been a time when they 

thought someone they know couldn’t 

hear them very well. Yet only four in 

ten New Zealanders 40 years and older 

say they have suggested a hearing test 

to someone that they thought may 

be hard of hearing. 

Often someone close to the person 

will notice before they do that they 

can’t hear so well, so it’s really 

important to look out for signs such 

as turning the TV up loud, putting 

their mobile on speaker phone, 

lip reading and asking people to 

repeat themselves,” Claire says. 

Claire encourages anyone from 

the community who thinks they

may be hard of hearing to come in 

store for a free 15-minute hearing 

check. If further testing is required, 

a comprehensive, 60 minute, hearing 

assessment is then undertaken at 

a cost of $59. 

During this appointment, Claire 

will carry out a comprehensive 

diagnostic assessment and will be 

able to determine if hearing aids 

would be beneficial. 

I NEED HEARING AIDS – WHAT 

ARE MY OPTIONS? 

“If we find you would benefit from 

hearing aids, we’ll make sure you have 

all the information you need to make 

an informed choice. We will never 

recommend hearing aids if you don’t 

need them or suggest spending more 

money than you have to. Prices for our 

full range of latest technology hearing 

devices are clearly available online or 

instore so you know exactly how much 

you will pay. Our hearing assessments 

are the just the start of your hearing 

journey and we’re here to support you 

along the way for years to come,” 

Claire Stacey says. 

The Specsavers Audiology 

team are locals, professionally 

trained and qualified and have 

a passion for hearing care.

KIRWEE Community Hall 

Association Committee 

members have had an eventful 

year, which is culminating in a 

fundraising dance this month. 

During lockdown they were 

faced with a major challenge 

when a passerby noticed water 

on the kitchen floor inside. 

It turned out that a pipe in the 

ceiling had been leaking, saturating 

part of the ceiling, one whole 

wall, and vinyl floor. 

Members had recently 

been discussing the need 

to replace the dishwasher, 

which would necessitate 

changing the kitchen 

layout. 

Through sociallydistanced 

consultation, 

they made the decision 

to remove the water-damaged 

material, initiate an insurance 


Comedy and rock music 

events planned for Lincoln 

THE TOPP Twins and The 

Automatic 80s are coming to 

Lincoln. 

The iconic comedy duo will 

perform at the Lincoln Event Centre 

on June 26, while covers band The 

Automatic 80s play at the same 

venue on October 16. 

Said promoter David Parlane: 

“These will be two great nights and 

we are so fortunate to have live 

entertainment in Lincoln.” 

Jools and Lynda Topp have been 

entertaining audiences with their 

distinctive brand of original music 

and character comedy for more 

than 30 years. 

Crowd favourites from Selwyn 

Sounds, The Automatic 80s will 

showcase the best of early to mid- 

80s new romantic and new wave 

hits.

are now on sale. Go to

claim, and begin the 

long-needed kitchen 

upgrade. 

Member Marian 

Galloway said a kitchen 

sub-committee was 

formed, and members 

put in a huge effort to 

produce designs, get 

quotes, source funding 

and co-ordinate volunteer 

labour. 

THE HUMMING of honeybees 

has provided a backdrop to 

the sound of the TranzAlpine 

entering Springfield station, but 

now the bees have gone. 

Glynn Cleaver of Kirwee Bees 

was called in, and putting his 

ear to the walls in a room full of 

electrical gear, he determined 

there were two hives with up to 

60,000 bees. 

Builders removed wall panels 

under the watchful eye of a 

KiwiRail electrical inspector. 

“The pressure was on to make 

the kitchen functional before the 

biggest event of the year for the 

hall, the Courtenay A&P Show. 

In the end, the kitchen was made 

usable for the show, with hours 

to spare,” Galloway said. 

The committee received grants 

of $6000 each from the Lion 

Foundation and the Four Winds 

Foundation, and along with 

funds built up over many years,

Springfield resident and train 

enthusiast Simon Williams said 

the bees had been coming and 

going through tiny holes in the 

corner of two widows for some 

time, but with the station being 

refurbished, it was time for them 

to go. 

“The rescued bees are infested 

with the varroa mite, but this 

will be treated while the bees 

are in isolation for about a year, 

before they become part of 

Kirwee Bees stock,” he said. 

Dance planned to help pay for Kirwee hall repairs 

these went a long way towards 

paying for the refit. 

Now to make up the shortfall, 

the committee is organising the

New Selwyn facilities 

on the way in 2021 

New health, learning and recreation spaces for Selwyn residents are getting closer to opening, as 

construction continues on exciting new district facilities. 

Four major projects in Rolleston are due to open to the public this year, bringing new services 

to Selwyn including a library, community space, extended swimming pool, indoor sports and 

health services. 

Mayor Sam Broughton says it’s exciting to see the projects come to fruition after years of planning 

and hard work. 

“We’ve been through a period of providing new buildings and bringing new services across 

Selwyn in response to the growth that we have had in the district. It’s great to be stepping into the 

next chapter in that long standing plan offering new opportunities for everyone in Selwyn.” 

The Selwyn Sports Centre at Foster Park will be the first project to open in May, with eight indoor 

courts, a walking track, areas for fitness classes, and a community sports hub. In addition to sports, 

the hard floor surface will be able to host community events such as markets or car shows. 

The centre also features the country’s first digital playground – an interactive sports wall 

combining sports and video games. 

The Selwyn Health Hub fitout will begin at the same time, with tenants including the Canterbury 

District Health Board and Pacific Radiology. The hub, next to St John ambulance in Rolleston 

and close to the Southern Motorway, will house a birthing unit, radiology, general practice and 

other community health services. 

The Selwyn Aquatic Centre extension will see a new 10-lane pool open in the middle of the year, 

with upgraded main pool, public areas and changing rooms due to be completed by October. 

The final windows will be installed in the coming weeks at Te Ara Ātea, which will house the 

district’s largest library. In addition to housing a much larger book collection, the building will 

include a museum experience, versatile performance and meeting space, comfortable seating and 

study areas, and a studio space and workshop. 

District to come together 

over dinner 

A chance to eat your way around the globe and meet new friends is 

coming to Selwyn this month. 

Dinners of Selwyn invites people to share delicious international 

food and Kiwi kai, celebrate Selwyn’s diversity and tell their stories 

of coming to Selwyn. 

The dinner will be held at Lincoln Event Centre’s Baylis Lounge on 

Monday 22 March. 

Newcomers who attended last year’s Dinners of Selwyn in October 

came from near and far, some from the North Island and others from 

places around the world, including Iran, Sri Lanka, China and England. 

The event ran as an initiative under Immigration New Zealand’s 

Welcoming Community accreditation, which was awarded to the 

Council last year. 

Ravi Gooneratne attended the event last year, bringing his Sri 

Lankan fried rice, which featured among other international cuisines 

including a Chinese cold dish of seaweed, ratatouille, Persian lentil 

rice Adas Polow and a classic kiwi favourite, lemon meringue pie. 

Ravi says last year’s event was very successful and well organised. 

“It was an excellent occasion to meet others new to the 

Selwyn community and also taste different ethnic foods from 

different countries.” 

Maggie Gibbons also attended Dinners of Selwyn with her partner 

Mike and said she enjoyed meeting new people and getting a 

feeling of belonging in the community. 

“It was good just to connect with other people who were new, so 

we didn’t feel like we were on our own.” 

Maggie says she looks forward to reconnecting with residents she 

met last year and sharing her experiences with other newcomers at 

the upcoming Dinners of Selwyn. 

Life-changing opportunity offered to young people 

Help to attend the adventure of a lifetime is on offer for young people in Selwyn. 

Mayors around the country can nominate young people aged 16–26 to attend Outward Bound courses, 

sponsored by the Mayoral Forum for Jobs. 

The courses are a chance to take part in something that will make a life-long difference, Mayor Sam 

Broughton says. 

“This is a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons, meet new people and try something that will 

challenge your body and mind. You will have the opportunity to take part in something that will look 

great on your CV and show employers you are willing to step outside your comfort zone.” 

Scholarships worth $3600 are available for two courses. The Mind, Body and Soul course for people 

aged 16–18, and the Classic course for people aged 18–26. 

The 21-day courses use action-packed adventure with bush expeditions, water challenges, sea 

voyages and height activities, along with times of reflection, to help people discover their inner 

strengths and values and practical ways to apply those skills to everyday life. 

Nominees will be required to fundraise $749 towards the course fee and arrange travel to and from 

Outward Bound. 

Applications can be made to the Council and the Mayor will nominate candidates to the forum and 

Outward Bound, who will award the scholarships. Special consideration will be given for candidates 

who have overcame hardship, or do good work in the community.

New slide installed at Foster Park 

Foster Park playground has reopened with a new addition. 

The playground reopened on Friday after its annual maintenance, 

which this year included the installation of a new stainless steel 

tube slide. 

The New Zealand-made steel slide replaces the existing plastic tube 

slide, which was closed for much of 2020 due to issues with cracking. 

A shade sail has also been installed to shade the exit of the slide. 

ON THE 

ROADS 

On the Roads

Selwyn residents have been making a big effort to recycle correctly over the past three months. 

Just one truck of recycling has been rejected since the Council’s contamination crew began bin 

inspections and guidance on improving recycling in December – compared to an average of six truck 

loads a month in the preceding six months, Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says. 

“It’s been really good to see the way people have made the effort to help get it right and avoid sending 

unnecessary waste to landfill. We know Selwyn residents care and it’s been pleasing to see how these 

reminders and a bit of extra vigilance from people have helped. We hope people will keep up the habits 

they’ve got into over the past few months.” 

The Council provided households with updated bin stickers and magnetic easy recycling guides, and ran 

newspaper and social media advertising to support good recycling, before the contamination crew began 

its work, but it was noticeable how much things improved once the crew began its work, Andrew says. 

“We’re really grateful to the crew, a small group of four who’ve pounded the streets in all weathers, 

doing a job that was at times unpopular. They’ve made a real difference to help recycling get to the right 

place and helping us all do it right.” 

The crew added tags to bins with minor issues, advising people of the items in their recycling bin that 

could not be recycled. The most common reasons people received advice tags was for soft plastics 

(any plastic that can be crumpled in your hand), lids and Tetra Pak cartons such as common plant milk 

and non-plastic juice containers. 

In the worst cases, badly contaminated bins were not collected. From December to February a total 

of 657 bins, fewer than 5% of those inspected, were rejected. These were mainly turned down for 

unacceptable contamination from items such as food, clothing, nappies and sanitary pads, which 

would have seen recycling loads contaminated and have to be sent to landfill.

NEWS 

Artwork celebrates life of Jean Batten 

THE LIFE and times of Kiwi 

legend Jean Batten has been 

chronicled in a celebration 

of the aviator’s extraordinary 

accomplishments. 

Painter Jonathan Marett 

is exhibiting a collection of 

his works capturing Batten’s 

historical solo flights at the 

Nut Point Centre in West 

Melton from Saturday until 

May 16. 

The North Canterbury artist 

is himself a retired airline 

and Air Force pilot. He said 

Batten’s accomplishments had 

long been an inspiration. 

“As a pilot, I’m in total awe 

of what she achieved. It takes a 

strong, skilled and determined 

person to fly those long and 

lonely flights in such rudimentary 

aircraft,” Marett said. 


CANAL-monitoring 

equipment used by NIWA was 

destroyed in a TrustPower shed 

fire at Lake Coleridge. 

A $350,000 bulldozer was 

left unscathed by the fire which 

saw the shed gutted on the 

night of February 22. 

A NIWA spokesperson said 

the organisation operated 

canal-monitoring equipment 

“I tried to capture what Jean 

would have seen and what 

she might have felt as she 

navigated some fairly rough 

under contract to TrustPower. 

The equipment was in the 

building and was destroyed, 

however, the equipment belonged 

to TrustPower. 

A TrustPower spokesperson 

said the shed contained 

workshop equipment and the 

company expected to replace 

the shed “in due course.” 

“The cost of this is unknown 

at present,” the spokesperson 

said.

conditions across some of the 

world’s most remarkable and 

lonely landscapes.” 

Batten was born in Rotorua 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand specialist fire investigator 

Gavin Lack said the 

cause of the fire was unknown, 

however, it was not suspicious. 

He said by the time the blaze 

was notified and fire crews 

were able to get to the location, 

the fire was well under way. 

The first responding brigade 

was Hororata, which took 

about 65min to get there due 

to the shed’s remote location. 

in 1909 and set many solo 

flight world records, principally 

en route between England, 

Australia and New Zealand, 

and from England to South 

America. 

The opening event for Life 

and Times of Jean Batten in Art 

will be at 4pm, and feature a 

special address by another Kiwi 

legend, Dame Fiona Kidman. 

Dame Fiona’s novel An 

Infinite Air influenced the 

series of 15 art works. The 

opening will also feature a 

piano accompaniment of 

Chopin’s Raindrop Prelude 

which will be introduced by 

Dr Fiona McAlpine. 

While the Batten works are 

for exhibition only, a selection 

of other works by Marett will 

be available to purchase. 

Shed fire claims canal-monitoring gear 

Coalgate and Methven appliances 

also attended. 

Lack said it was fortunate 

that a large bulldozer, valued at 

about $350,000, was outside at 

the time. 

However, other workshop 

equipment were lost, and it was 

good reminder for companies 

and farmers which have 

sheds containing equipment 

in remote areas to have fire 

detection systems.

Why your business needs digital marketing 

Running any business is a juggle of time and resources. 

The pressure to show-up on-line consistently can feel 

overwhelming. Here we discuss how in just 90 minutes 

a week you can set-up and run successful digital 

marketing. We’ll look at your publishing opportunities 

and how to really showcase your expertise on multiple 

digital platforms. 


What is working now in digital marketing? 

How can you get your business found on google and 

social searches? How do you ensure your business 

gets seen by the perfect audience? What is the best 

‘type’ of digital content to get your business seen and 

remembered? We’ll share the best ways to work smart 

and get found. 


Email Marketing – why is it so important? 

Email marketing is still the NUMBER ONE way to 

convert your leads into sales. Emails sit at the heart of 

your digital marketing and will help you build long-term 

relationships, drive sales, capture lead information and 

position you as an expert. Regular, interesting emails 

can be a game-changer yet most business owners 

rarely, if ever, email their contacts. Email marketing is 

the glue that links your digital marketing together. It 

keeps existing customers loyal and coming back more 

frequently and referring your business; converts leads 

into paying customers.

SCHOOLS 15 

All classes at Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School had ice skating 

lessons on a visiting rink recently, courtesy of the school’s PTA. 

”All our students have had a can-do attitude and have loved the 

challenge of skating on thin sharp blades,” teacher Rhiân Bambry 

said. The lessons followed a school picnic for the community. 

“The weather was pleasant and not too hot. It was so lovely to see 

so many of our hapori coming together to eat dinner under the 

shade of the trees in our playground,” Bambry said.

Term 1 Update 

Principal’s Message 

2021 is the first year of a full school for 

Horoeka Haemata Rolleston College 

which is a very exciting milestone for us 

all. Horoeka Haemata is the name gifted 

to the school by Te Taumutu Rūnanga. 

It means flourishing lancewood. The 

lancewood is the college’s gifted tree. It 

is poignant that this year our first group 

of learners will leave the college after 

their 5 year journey with us. Growing like the 

lancewood from a seed to a flourishing tree. 

We now have over 1300 learners enrolled at the college from Yr 

9-13. Our year 9 intake is the largest the college has ever had. Our 

NCEA Certification Results were again above the national and 

decile 8-10 average and junior learning at the college continues to 

be engaging and personalised. 

Our year has started with a mix of learning experiences inside and 

outside of the school. A series of camps and trips out in the good 

weather have been a highlight at the start of the year as was the 

annual whanau sports day for both learners and staff. 

Our building modifications have assisted in providing for our 

continued growth. Modifications will continue throughout this 

year with some very impressive learning spaces being created. 

We continue to be supported by an active and committed Board 

of Trustees who have the best interests of the school at heart. We 

look forward to all 2021 holds for us as we continue to support and 

serve our fantastic growing community.

Leadership Update: 

The aim of the Learner Leadership Programme at Rolleston College is to create a positive environment where all students can flourish. It also provides 

opportunities for learners who wish to enhance their experience at College, by contributing to various areas of school life and embracing the Rolleston 

College Spirit. Leadership offers challenges – intellectually, organisationally and socially. 

There are many different Leadership opportunities at Rolleston College and these reflect the many different ways in which someone can show leadership 

and give back to the College. Term One Leadership highlights have included Year 13 Camp, Year 13 Leaders Camp and Whanau Ambassador Camps. 

Year 13 Leadership Camp: 

The first day of Term One for our Year 13 

Leadership Team saw them join the staff for a day 

of reconnecting and strategic planning at Orton 

Bradley. At night the leaders stayed on with some 

staff to further plan for their leadership portfolios 

and unpacked what makes a great leader. They were 

then joined the next day by the rest of Year 13 and the 

Leaders ran an exciting and comprehensive day built 

around ‘We are all leaders’ and ‘leaving our legacy 

behind at Rolleston College’. 

Whanau Ambassador Camp: 

Our Whanau Ambassadors were elected at the end 

of 2021. There are 10 Whanau Ambassadors per 

Whanau and they are made up from Year 10, 11, 12. 

This term the Whanau Ambassadors completed 

their training, strategic planning and team building 

whilst on an overnight camp at Glenroy Lodge. The 

Ambassadors worked with key pastoral staff and the 

Year 13 Whanau Captains. 

Toastmasters share their Expertise: 

Earlier this term we were lucky to partner with 

two wonderful facilitators from the Toastmasters 

- Canterbury, West Coast, Nelson & Blenheim 

organisation. A group of 12 learners made up of Head 

Student, Captains and our Board of Trustees Student 

Rep spent the day in a very rewarding workshop to 

help them enhance their public speaking skills. The 

learners were very grateful for the opportunity and 

learnt a lot from Marina and Rob. 

Rolleston College Learning in the Junior and Senior School 

Our Learning 

At Rolleston College we have top class facilities and an exciting and diverse academic 

programme that meets the needs of the individual learner. 

The curriculum framework is designed to ensure that the delivery of learning is 

innovative, learner centred, skills relevant and cover all aspects of the New Zealand 

Curriculum (NZC, 2007). 

The Learning Vehicle Highlights: 

Ako - Learners meet with their Ako Learning Coach to monitor their progress, 

develop their personalised inquiry programme. Other strands of our Ako curriculum 

include hauora, te ao māori, and digital tikanga. Highlights include Year 9’s delving 

deeper into their passions, Year 10’s planning an end of year camp/activities. Year 11’s 

developing person wellbeing plans and goals. 

Connected - This is an integrated approach to skill and knowledge development 

and allows for an authentic context of learning in the areas of Mathematics, Science, 

Social Science and English. Highlight - Year 9’s exploring the concept of identity 

looking at who they are, where we all come from and where we are going to. 

Health and Physical Education(HPE) - All year 9 and 10 learners take part in the 

HPE programme. Highlights include - Year 9 Design Thinking Game Creation and 

Year 10 Invictus Games Research 

Selected - Learners choose from a range of enrichment options - from technology, to 

performing arts, forensic science to sports specific and all that lies in between. 

Highlights include - Creative Digital Design, Wild Weather and Save a Life, where 

learners get to complete their First Aid certificate. 

Senior School: 

In the senior years, learners will continue their journey 

which will prepare learners for academic success and 

achievement. The Rolleston College Curriculum aims 

to enable learners to gain an idea of their passions 

and purpose in life. Learners can work towards NZQA 

certified qualifications (NCEA). 

Highlights include - Year 13 Building and Construction 

building Tiny Child Playhouses. Year 13 Business Studies 

being part of the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES). 

C.A.S.E Update 

Culture, Arts, Sport and Education Outside of the 

Classroom is C.A.S.E at Rolleston College Horoeka 

Haemata. In 2021 we have seen the emergence 

of many more activities and clubs being made 

available to our learners. Many of these activities 

and clubs take place on Wednesday afternoon 

when the school finishes slightly early. Some 

of the many activities include Yoga, Boot Camp 

Fitness, Robotics, Music Bands, Chess Club, 

Running Club, ESports, Choir, Fast 5 Netball, 

Surfing, Turbo Touch and Art Mural Painting. As 

well as this we have our Touch, Tennis, Cricket, 

Futsal and Volleyball teams and Rowers all 

heavily involved in competitions currently. 

A recent highlight was the Mixed Senior Touch 

Team winning the Canterbury Secondary 

School’s Champs. We also wish our Junior and 

Senior Futsal teams all the best for the national 

champs in Wellington later this month. 

Whanau Sports Day 

On Friday the 12th of February the school held our annual whanau sports day. 

This day saw our learners going up against each other in many different events 

for whanau points. For the second year we were extremely fortunate to have the 

Hororata Highland Games team come and help us with the day. This meant having 

activities such as the caber toss, haggis toss and the farmers walk. These events 

combined with some athletic events, whānau relays and the tug of war made for a 

really fun day action packed day. It was really great to see the level of participation 

and the whanau spirit on display throughout this event. It was also impressive to 

see during the staff relay how fast our staff can run. On the day Ngahuru whanau 

took out the event with the most whanau points to help them get off to a great start 

for the year and Kōanga won the tug of war.

SPORT 

LEESTON-Southbridge shot to 

the top of country cricket but 

it was Canterbury star Henry 

Shipley who stole the show on 

Saturday with a brilliant matchwinnings 

innings. 

Shipley’s stunning unbeaten 

140 runs off just 80 balls was 

the highlight of the latest round 

of the CRV Ambreed country 

premier one day 2020/21 competition. 

At Darfield Domain, Shipley’s 

home side were forced to bowl 

first on a fine pitch, which 

Weedons took advantage of. 

After losing Todd Inness early, 

Brad Nightingale (65 off 111) and 

James Richards (98 off 109) plundered 

140 runs for the second 

wicket. 

A late flurry from ex- 

Canterbury wicket-keeper batsman 

Paul Rugg (27 off 24) and 

Charlie Robson (23 off 23) lifted 

Weedons to a respectable 235/4 

off their allotted 45 overs. 

Darfield’s run chase got off to 

a reasonable start, but Weedons 

felt in the game with the score at 

51/2 after 12 overs. 

But it was Shipley, returning to 

full fitness after a season battling 

injuries, who soon took over the 

game. 

His incredible innings of 140 

not out included 19 fours and 

three sixes as he almost singlehandedly 

closed out the win with 

nearly 10 overs to spare. He was 

ably supported at the other end 

by Liam Foulkes who sensibly 

fed the strike to the rampaging 

Shipley. 

Ohoka were handed a savage 

home soil nine-wicket thumping 

by Leeston-Southbridge after 

being restricted to 178/9 in their 

first innings. 


Leeston-Southbridge, Darfield grab wins 

Former Dutch international 

Tim Gruijters ensured there was 

no slip-up chasing the meagre 

total, with a composed unbeaten 

78 off 105 balls, sharing an 

unbroken 115-run partnership 

with Harry Mowat who made 49 

not out. 

The win lifted Leeston-Southbridge 

ahead competition rivals

Sefton who suffered a 49-run 

defeat to Cheviot. 

At Cheviot Domain, Magpies 

opener George Waddy continued 

his break-out season with a 

match-defining 94. 

His Cheviot side made 236/9 

in their 45 overs, Sefton paceman 

Jed Roberts the standout, grabbing 

four wickets. 

McKenzie Smith, as he often 

has this season, got Sefton off to 

a flying chase making a quickfire 

46, before collapsing to lose 

six wickets for just 51 runs. 

Callum Simpson (65 off 62) 

and Ollie Bragg (33 off 60) made 

a valiant late stand but it wasn’t 

enough, as Sefton were bundled 

all out for 187 in 38 overs. 

Struggling Southbrook recorded 

their first victory since 

the opening round of the season 

back in October with a victory 

over fellow-strugglers Lincoln at

SUCCESSFUL: Nathan Banks and Pam Grenside (centre) won Lincoln Golf 

Club’s annual shootouts on February 28. Grenside is flanked by organiser 

Nancy Moroney (left) and ladies captain Lois Anderson. 

Banks, Grenside win Lincoln’s 

popular golf shootout 

NATHAN BANKS and 

Pam Grenside won the 

men’s and ladies annual 

Lincoln Golf Club shootout 

recently. 

The competition, the 

club’s most popular event 

of the year, involves 10 

players with the best 

scores from five qualifying 

rounds, taking part in a 

shootout competition 

over nine holes, with 

the player with the worst 

score dropping out at each 

hole. 

In the event of tied worst 

scores, players have a 

shootout involving a putt 

off or chip off to determine 

the player to drop out. 

In addition to the 

men’s and women’s top 

10 shootouts, there are 

second tier competitions 

for players coming 11th to 

20th after the qualifying 

rounds. 

The men’s second tier 

was won by Callum 

MacLean and the women’s 

second tier by Sharon 

Lemon.

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

Gorse, broom seeds 

favoured by moth 

CONTENT MARKETING 


21 

GORSE HAS attracted 

considerable attention in 

terms of biological control 

in New Zealand. 

Seven invertebrate 

species including four 

moths, a weevil, a thrips 

and a spider mite species 

have been introduced to 

control gorse. 

Recently I found 

specimens of one these, 

the gorse pod moth (Cydia 

succedana) attracted to a 

light. 

THe 5-8mm long adults 

are pale brown in colour. 

Females lay 1mm diameter, 

white, shiny, flat eggs on 

the underside of vegetation 

covering the developing 

seed pods. 

Black-headed creamywhite 

caterpillars emerge 

after two weeks. After four 

weeks larvae leave seed 

pods and pupate, usually 

on gorse stems. 

THe gorse pod moth has 

two generations per year 

and take two months per 

generation. 

Each caterpillar can 

consume all the seeds in 

two or three pods. 

At one site in Canterbury 

the combined efforts of 

the gorse pod moth and 

seed weevil destroyed 90 

to 100 per cent of the seeds 

produced in the spring to 

autumn crop. 

THe gorse pod moth 

is also known to feed on 

three introduced broom 

species, tree lupin, russell 

lupin and lotus.

The Next Big Thing... 

West Melton 

Previous fetes have proved a great 

success, attracting the crowds and 

raising funds for West Melton School. 

Something for everyone at 

West Melton Country Fete 

Plans are well underway for the West 

Melton Country Fete being held at West 

Melton School from 10am to 3pm on the 

last Sunday in March. 

For a small gold coin donation at the 

gate the family can enjoy a day filled with 

entertainment from local bands, dancers 

and school groups plus all sorts of kids’ 

games and activities. 

These will include mini jeeps, bumper 

boats, bungee trampoline, bouncy castles 

and of course farm animals, a petting zoo 

and pony rides. 

While the kids enjoy themselves, 

parents can grab a coffee, a raffle ticket 

(and hopefully a prize) and browse the 

more than 100 stalls offering beautiful 

crafts, homewares, clothing, food, and 

health and beauty products. 

Homemade baking, cotton candy 

and bacon butties are among the wide 

range of food items that will be available 

throughout the day. 

The 2017 and 2019 fetes were extremely 

successful with over 5000 people through 

the gates. As a result the school was 

able to raise enough funds for new 

playgrounds and outdoor learning spaces 

that the kids all love and enjoy every day. 

This year’s fete has been proudly 

supported by Gold Sponsors Ray White 

Real Estate, McLenaghan Contracting and 

Wilfield - yoursection.co.nz. 

For a full list of stalls, sponsors, 

entertainment and activities keep an eye 

out for updates on the Facebook Page and 

website www.westmeltonfete.co.nz. 

So, mark Sunday, March 28 in your 

calendar – the West Melton Country Fete 

will have something for everyone. 

If Covid restrictions mean the 

fete is not able to go ahead, it will be 

postponed until 2022. Check the website 

and Facebook page for further updates.

GARDENING 

Give your flower bed 

the cottage garden look 

IF YOU’VE been 

hankering for a cottage 

garden feel in your 

backyard then hanker no 

more. It is easy to create 

a cute, carefree cottage 

garden. 

You can purchase 

separate bundles of pretty 

flower seedlings like stock, 

antirrhinums and carnations. 

Once you’ve got your 

flower seedlings, look for 

a sunny, well-drained area 

in your garden. To ensure 

your flowers really take off, 

dig in a bit of compost to 

the soil before you plant. 

Then, when you’ve got 

the conditions just right, 

simply plant each seedling 

around 20cm apart. The 

trick is to space them far 

enough away from each 

other to ensure they have 

room to grow but not too 

far apart to create a ‘gappy’ 

look. 

And remember to mix 

all the seedlings in together. 

Planting each variety of 

seedlings in groups or lines 

won’t create a messy, flowery 

look.

GARDENING 25 

Transitioning your garden into winter 

MARCH IS definitely a 

transitional month and 

depending on the weather, it’s 

either an extension of summer or 

the early warning signs of winter. 

As always, it is a busy time with 

harvesting late summer fruit and 

beginning the preparation for 

your winter vegetable garden. 

planted is often not disturbed for 

several years. Add plenty of compost 

before planting and ensure 

the soil is friable (crumbly) and 

drainage is good. Bulbs to plant 

include anemones, daffodils, hyacinths, 

ixia, lachenalias, freesias, 

ranunculus, sparaxis, tritonia, 

tulips and watsonias. 

Vege patch 

March and early April are the 

final months for harvesting summer 

vegetables including; beans, 

beetroot, cabbage, carrots, celery, 

corn, cucumber, eggplants, jerusalem 

artichokes, lettuce, melons, 

onions, potatoes, pumpkins, radish, 

silverbeet, spinach, tomatoes 

and yams. 

A gardening diary helps you 

keep track of your garden across 

the seasons. Make note of which 

summer vegetables performed 

best and why, and to rotate crops 

next summer into different 

positions in the vege garden. The 

benefit of crop rotation is that 

as one plant depletes the soil of 

certain nutrients, the next plant 

will replenish the soil as it grows. 

Some soil diseases can also be 

controlled well this way. 

Towards the end of March start 

preparing your winter garden, 

adding fresh compost to existing 

soil and raising ‘beds’ to improve 

drainage over wet winter months. 

Some winter vegetable seeds 

GREENS: Winter vegetable seedlings can now be sown. 

and seedlings can now be sown/ 

planted, including; beetroot, 

broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, 

cauliflower, carrots, lettuce, 

onions, radish, silverbeet, spinach, 

swedes, and turnips. Leave 

enough room for further plantings 

of all these vegetables over 

the next few months to extend 

harvesting time. 

Flower garden 

Summer flowering annuals 

have been quite magnificent this 

summer. Continue to deadhead 

finished flowers and cut back 

some annuals such as petunias 

which can look a little scraggly 

this time of year. 

As with the vegetable garden, 

it is time to start preparing the 

winter flower garden or container 

garden for decks and patios. 

Winter flowering annuals that 

can now be safely planted include;

Bulb planting 

March is the final month for 

planting new bulbs. Thorough 

preparation of the soil is critical 

to the ongoing success of bulbs 

because the area in which they are 

Fruit tree harvesting 

Harvest time for many apple 

and pear varieties, and the last 

of the peaches (golden queen), 

plums (satsuma and burbank) 

and nashi pears (hosui and 

kosui). 

In warmer areas, passionfruit 

are ripening, as are red and yellow 

guavas (towards the end of 

March). Fruit will be forming on 

all citrus trees so mulch to retain 

soil moisture and suppress weeds. 

Lawn repair 

As soon as regular rain arrives, 

work can begin on repairing or 

renovating existing lawns or laying 

new ones. Good preparation 

is absolutely critical and the key 

to success. If importing new soil/ 

topsoil, make sure it’s of the highest 

quality and weed-free. Using a 

mixture of lawn seed can produce 

a more resilient, all-year-round 

lawn. 

Always use fresh lawn seed for 

the best germination rate. Ready 

lawn can be useful for small areas, 

RIPE: Apples should now be 

ready for harvesting. 

and once again, preparation is 

critical for establishment and 

success. 

As temperatures cool and rain 

becomes more regular, begin applying 

fertiliser to existing lawns. 

Roses 

It can be a bit of a mixed month 

in the rose garden depending on 

the varieties growing. After the 

hot, dry months of January and 

February, some roses now have a 

second wind and produce masses 

of stunning blooms throughout 

March and April. 

Start fertilising all rose plants 

now with specific rose fertiliser 

through to early April. Keep 

dead-heading finished flowers 

and carry out light pruning where 

needed. 

In the Garden 

March brings a change of season, and 

changeable weather. Winter veggie gardens 

begin in Autumn, so get on to sowing seeds 

of winter crops now. Lawns will appreciate 

a good feed of fertiliser after a hot, dry 

summer. Choose a cooler, overcast day – and 

one with rain forecast is even better. Make 

sure the lawn gets a good soak of water after 

application so the fertiliser can work its magic. 

Edible Garden 

Prepare your winter veggies by sowing seeds 

now. Varieties include; Cabbage, cauliflower, 

broccoli, beetroot, winter lettuce, brussel 

sprouts, carrots, leeks and silverbeet.

Chicken pie will tempt the taste buds 

Try this relatively quickto-assemble 

chicken pie 

— you can make it as one 

large family pie around 

eight individual pies. It will 

cook in around 90min. Or if 

you prefer a pork meal, our 

hoisin pork belly is a twist 

on this modern favourite 

Chicken and cider pie 

Serves 6 

Ingredients 

2 tbsp oil 

2 boneless skinless chicken 

breasts, sliced or chopped into 

small pieces 

1 leek, sliced lengthwise then 

finely chopped 

1 medium apple, peeled, quartered 

and sliced 

1 carrot, peeled, sliced lengthwise 

and cut in thin semi-circular 

slices 

2 tbsp plain flour 

300ml apple cider 

1 tsp chicken stock powder 

½ tsp dried thyme or a few 

sprigs of fresh thyme 

a pinch of mixed herbs 

salt and pepper to taste 

1 x 400gm block or three sheets 

frozen flaky or rough 

puff pastry, defrosted 

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 

beaten egg or a little milk to 

glaze 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 210 deg C. 

Grease a pie dish if using. 

Heat one tablespoon of the oil 

in a large frying pan and seal 

the chicken in batches, stirring, 

setting each batch aside once it is 

sealed. Then add the remaining 

oil to the pan and, when heated, 

add the leek, sliced apple and 

carrot, and cook gently until the 

leek is softened. 

Return the chicken and any 

juices to the pan, then stir in the 

flour, mixing well. Add the cider 

a bit at a time, mixing it in with 

a wooden spoon so the flour 

doesn’t form lumps. 

When all the cider is added, 

sprinkle in the chicken stock and 

herbs and stir in the mustard. 

Simmer gently until the liquid 

has almost evaporated, season 

with salt and pepper and allow 

to cool. 

If using a pie dish, roll out 

enough pastry to line the base. 

Use the rolling pin to lift the pastry 

and press it gently into the tin 

This chicken 

pie filling 

can also be 

made into 

individual 

pies, pasties 

or turnovers. 

with your fingers. Spoon in the 

cooled filling. Roll the remaining 

pastry to make a lid. Brush 

the pastry edges with water, then 

place the lid on top. 

Use a sharp knife to neatly 

trim the edges, then pinch, crimp 

or use a fork to press all the way 

around the edge to fuse the pastry 

together. Use any trimmings 

for decorations; a dab of water 

will make them stick. Brush the 

pie or pies with beaten egg or a 

little milk. 

Bake for 35-45min until golden 

and crisp. This filling can also 

be used for pasties or turnovers. 

Hoisin pork belly 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

500-600gm boned pork belly 

roast 

1 tbsp canola oil 

fresh flaky sea salt 

2 tbsp hoisin sauce 

1 tbsp lightly toasted sesame 

seeds 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 220 deg C. 

If using a traditional pork belly 

roast, remove skin. While roast 

is cooking, rub skin with oil and 

grill to make crackling. 

Trim any excess fat off roast, if 

preferred. 

Brush with oil and rub with sea 

salt. 

Cover with baking film. Place 

pork in an oven pan. 

Roast for 30min at 200 deg C 

then reduce the temperature to 

170 deg C and continue roasting 

until cooked, about 30min. This 

will depend on thickness. The 

internal temperature should be 71 

deg C. Cover and rest for 10min 

before serving. 

Brush pork with hoisin sauce 

and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Ford’s hot hatchback brings back the youth 

I DON’T like being referred to 

as old. 

Sure, as a pensioner, I’m aged 

in the senior demographic but 

I’d like to think I’m still relatively 

youthful, and when I’m presented 

with an exciting sports car to 

evaluate, my persona changes to 

someone much younger. 

Just like when I was presented 

with the keys to Ford’s Focus ST, a 

traditional hot hatchback charger 

that is an absolute screamer when 

allowed to breathe freely. I felt 

well in control of the beast, and 

such is its all-round adaptability 

it also doubles as a useful fourdoor, 

five-seater for when your 

grandkids need transporting, and 

I also think they would feel quite 

proud when seated in the stroppy 

sports car. 

At $59,900, the Focus ST sits 

competitively with other hot 

hatchback models yet it carries 

all of the practicality the Focus 

has as a series, it is easy to drive 

and doesn’t present any special 

challenges. 

The ST gets a 2.3-litre turbocharged, 

four-cylinder engine 

which gets about its job with 

strong engine sound and character. 

I’m not saying it is noisy, it’s 

not; the sound is well isolated but 

it is there to be heard, the engine 

is angry under load and it is a 

sound that encourages throttle 

use, it is pleasant to listen to. 

Ford claims healthy outputs of 

206kW and 420Nm, providing 

the impetus for a 6.4sec standstill 

to 100km/h time. 

As mentioned, you don’t need to 

drive the ST in performance mode 

all of the time, it is happy to dawdle 

traffic and during my weekday 

commute I was comfortable in it 

and felt right at ease, although you 

do get the impression it is keen to 

get some movement going. 

Power is directed through a 

paddle-shift seven-speed automatic 

transmission to the front 

wheels. Shifts are smooth and the 

ratios are also structured to meet 

the demands of fuel-conscious 

buyers. 

Ford claims an 8.6l/100km 

combined cycle fuel usage average 

for the ST. The trip computer 

was showing around 10l/100km 

when I took the car back to the 

dealership. It will also return a 

5.4l/100km instantaneous reading 

at 100km/h (engine speed 

1500rpm), which means you can 

have some fun without scoffing 

vast amounts of fuel. 

I took the test car on a Mid- 

Canterbury loop, they are perfect 

roads for a performance car. 

English Fords have generally been 

regarded as having supple chassis 

balance and the ST doesn’t disappoint, 

it simply dances through 

the suspension. It also rockets 

between corners with a powerful 

surge and swift retardation, 

thanks to a performance brake 

package. 

Grippy Michelin Sport tyres 

(235/35 x 19in) turn in precisely 

with little steering effort but solid 

steering feedback. Gravitational 

changes don’t load the tyres, nor 

does it affect the way the suspension 

operates in a corner; if 

uneven surfaces are encountered 

there is composure and certainty 

within the steering process. 

The ST stands out with its bold 

FORD FOCUS ST:

wheels, body kit and spoiler, 

while on the inside Recaro seats 

not only support the driver 

around the mid-riff, but they are 

visual. The test car was painted 

bright red, described by Ford as 

fantastic red, red ST logos embossed 

on the front seats complement 

the exterior colour. 

The Focus ST is a fun package, 

yet has practicality on its side. It 

comes extensively equipped with 

all of the items you’d expect today 

for comfort and convenience, and 

safety. 

If you are up with the play 

• Price – Ford Focus ST, 

$59,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4388mm; width, 1979mm; 

height, 1492mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

2261cc, 206kW, 

420Nm, seven-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.4sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

technology-wise, the Focus 

as a series also has all of the 

functionality to keep you happy. 

The entire range has just had 

a refresh, there’s more kit for 

connectivity and there is an 

increased level of electronic safety 

spec. 

These features not only provide 

extra value, convenience and 

surety, but they contribute to 

the special feeling you get every 

time you are in the car, you will 

be smiling every time you drive 

it and it will certainly make you 

feels years younger.

Selwyn District Plan 

PRIVATE PLAN CHANGE 67 

GW Wilfield Limited have lodged a private plan change request with the Council. 

Selwyn District Council 

Clause 5 of the First Schedule, Resource Management Act 1991 

Plan change 67 (PC67) proposes to change the Operative Selwyn District Plan to rezone 

approximately 33.4 hectares located on the south side of Kingsdowne Drive, West Melton from 

Rural to Living WM South zone. 

The change seeks to insert a development plan and associated rules into the District Plan. If 

approved it would result in additional residential development. 

PC67 proposes amendments to the Operative Selwyn District Plan that include: 

· amending the District Planning Maps to rezone the subject land from Rural to Living WM 

South zone. 

· incorporating an outline development plan to coordinate and guide the future development 

of the site 

The plan change request and the assessment of why it is needed can be read at Council’s 

Rolleston Headquarters and can be viewed online at service centres and public libraries in 

Darfield, Leeston, and Lincoln or at www.selwyn.govt.nz. 

Submissions 

Any person or organisation may make a submission supporting or opposing any aspect of this 

plan change. Submissions must be written and in accordance with Form 5 of the Resource 

Management Regulations and is available from any Council Service Centre or on the website. 

Submissions may be: 

Posted to: Planning Department, Selwyn District Council, PO Box 90, Rolleston 7643 

Delivered to: A Council service centre in Darfield, Lincoln, Leeston or Rolleston. 

Faxed to: (03) 347 2799 (if you fax your submission please post or deliver a copy to the 

details above) 

Emailed to: submissions@selwyn.govt.nz 

At a later date, all submissions received will be summarised and published. Further 

Submissions will then be invited, allowing certain persons and organisations to support or 

oppose any of the initial submissions. A Council hearing will then be arranged to consider 

all submissions, after which the Council will decide whether to approve or decline the plan 

change. Any submitter who is not satisfied with the Council’s decision may then appeal to the 

Environment Court. 

For further information regarding this plan change or the process outlined above, please 

contact Rachael Carruthers on (03) 347 2833. 

The closing date for submissions is 5pm on Monday 12 April 2021.

Classic Meets Contemporary 

Classic style and modern flair collide at this immensely relaxing family 

residence that occupies an easy-care 1.17-hectare section within the idyllic 

rural landscape of Lincoln. 

Built in 1992 but cleverly extended over the past five years, this home 

retains its timeless design, with Oamaru stone construction and a columned 

entranceway delivering an attractive opening impression. 

The floor plan covers 252sqm (approx.) plus garaging of 54.8sqm (approx.), and 

is decorated with neutral hues and contemporary finishes, particularly in the 

kitchen, both bathrooms and the laundry, where crisp whites and defined dark 

tones deliver contrast and elegant impact. 

A trio of living spaces with outdoor access to decking ensures you’re spoilt for 

choice when entertaining or unwinding, with the open-plan layout, separate 

lounge and rumpus room providing more than enough space for the entire 

household. Settled in the heart of the open-plan living and dining area is the 

superbly appointed kitchen that comes complete with a scullery and double 

ovens, which ensures you can cater to guests with relative ease. 

Four bedrooms are supported by two bathrooms and a total of three toilets, 

with the master naturally enjoying a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Various 

heating solutions are on offer, including a log burner in the lounge, two heat 

pumps (one in the open-plan area and the second in the rumpus room) and 

underfloor heating in both bathrooms, while full insulation, a DVS system and 

large-scale double glazing further heighten comfort levels. 

The grounds are picturesque, with lush lawns, mature trees and the expansive 

paddock providing an exceptional outlook from both decks, while a beautifully 

established pergola represents a private, alternative backdrop for outdoor 

occasions. 

A triple car garage and a carport provides ample storage space, while the 

well-sheltered section also contains a well, septic tank, two-bay shed, two 

paddocks, a woodshed and a dog run. 

Located less than 10 minutes from Tai Tapu and Lincoln, this tranquil retreat is 

one opportunity not to be missed.
