Residents call for input into<br />
potential rezoning plans<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
RESIDENTS ON the outskirts<br />
of west Rolleston want to be<br />
included in potential rezoning<br />
plans as the town boundary<br />
extends by thousands of homes.<br />
The residents, on Dunns Crossing<br />
Rd between Burnham School<br />
Rd and Brookside Rd, say they<br />
will be “landlocked” on large<br />
sections as higher density subdivisions<br />
take place around them.<br />
But the district council says the<br />
landowners can not be part of<br />
rezoning plan change applications<br />
submitted by others, and they<br />
would have to submit their own<br />
application.<br />
“That’s just archaic; it is old prehistoric<br />
thinking,” resident Gary<br />
Smith said.<br />
“Why are they land-locking<br />
perfectly good sub-dividable land<br />
in-between two high density subdivisions?”<br />
Smith said.<br />
He was not ruling out applying<br />
for his own plan change in future,<br />
however, this would be likely to<br />
cost tens of thousands of dollars.<br />
He believed the council should instead<br />
consider the common sense<br />
approach of rezoning the area as<br />
part of considering a recentlynotified<br />
plan change application<br />
from Rolleston West Residential<br />
Ltd, a Carter Group company.<br />

CONCERNED: Dunns Crossing Rd, Rolleston, residents Gordon Chamberlain and Gary Smith do not want to be<br />
sandwiched by higher density subdivisions if they are not able to subdivide.<br />

GARY SMITH and his<br />
neighbours are worried<br />
about being landlocked.<br />
As we have reported in<br />
recent weeks, <strong>Selwyn</strong> is exploding<br />
with higher density<br />
subdivisions.<br />
Rolleston is quickly creeping<br />
closer to Lincoln, Lincoln<br />
is heading in the direction of<br />
Tai Tapu and Springston.<br />
Now residents on Dunns<br />
Crossing Rd between<br />
Burnham School Rd and<br />
Brookside Rd, fear they will<br />
be “landlocked” on large sections<br />
as higher density subdivisions<br />
take place around<br />
them.<br />
The district council says<br />
the landowners can not be<br />
part of rezoning plan change<br />
applications submitted by<br />
other landowners – they<br />
have to submit their own<br />
application.<br />
Smith says that thinking<br />
is “archiac” and “prehistoric.”<br />
It will also cost a lot<br />
of money that is a major<br />
problem.<br />

Residents not fully aware of<br />
district’s attractions – study<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
VERY FEW <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are<br />
aware that picturesque areas just<br />
a stone’s throw away are part of<br />
their own district.<br />
Research Insights conducted<br />
qualitative research in the form<br />
of two focus groups from <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
and one from Christchurch,<br />
further to an online Canterbury<br />
Tourism Study.<br />
The study found that few<br />
people in the focus groups could<br />
identify areas that are included<br />
in the district. When prompted,<br />
just one per cent or less could<br />
identify each area of Castle Hill,<br />
Whitecliffs, Lake Coleridge and<br />
Arthur’s Pass as being part of the<br />
district.<br />
That does not mean that residents<br />
did not visit those areas,<br />
just that they did not know they<br />
are part of the district.<br />
Researcher Judy Cormick said<br />
in her report, which has been<br />
submitted to the district council<br />
for its meeting this week, that<br />
respondents were interested in a<br />
variety of experiences through<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> natural attractions.<br />
These included garden visits,<br />
walks, hiking, rural experiences,<br />
quiet areas, picnicking, biking,<br />
local show, country day trips and<br />
lakes.<br />
When it came to exploring<br />
the main centres in their own<br />
backyard, <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents rated<br />
highly.<br />
Eight-three per cent of residents<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> focus groups<br />
liked to explore Rolleston, 62 per<br />
cent Lincoln, 58 per cent West<br />
Melton, 54 per cent Leeston, 12<br />
per cent Darfield and six per cent<br />
Kirwee.<br />
The online survey had shown<br />
that 41 per cent of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents spent time visiting<br />
attractions in the district. The<br />
focus group study showed these<br />
as being attractions such as<br />
community centres, libraries,<br />
the aquatic centre, markets and<br />
leisure activities. Fifty one per<br />
cent of <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents felt connected<br />
to the district and 36 per<br />
cent would be interested in an<br />
agricultural/rural experience.<br />
“<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are significantly<br />
more aware of the<br />
recreations options available<br />
and commented very positively<br />
on the council’s commitment to<br />
providing these,” Cormick said.<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> residents felt there were<br />
very good facilities in the district<br />
in terms of shopping, recreation<br />
and experiences in the region.<br />
“There is a very low awareness<br />
of the scope of the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District with Christchurch residents,<br />
however a desire to learn<br />
LITTLE<br />
KNOWN: Only<br />
one per cent<br />
of <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents are<br />

Hill and other<br />
picturesque<br />
attractions<br />
are located in<br />
their district,<br />
a study<br />
suggests.<br />
more about what is available.<br />
All residents in Christchurch<br />
and <strong>Selwyn</strong> are looking for new<br />
interesting places to go and new<br />
experiences.”<br />
There was a much higher<br />
awareness of the Meet Us<br />
in The Country promotions<br />
with <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents than<br />
Christchurch residents. Fortyeight<br />
per cent of the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents in the focus groups<br />
recalled the promotion.<br />
“As outlined in the online<br />
study, a high proportion of<br />
people are looking for new areas<br />
to visit and new experiences. The<br />
main barrier to visiting seems to<br />
be a lack of awareness of what is<br />
available to them.”<br />

DRIVERS WELL-BEHAVED<br />
More than 500 drivers passed<br />
breath tests at a police checkpoint<br />

alcohol-affected drivers among<br />
the large number stopped after<br />
the concert. On the Canterbury<br />
Police Facebook page, they said<br />
no drivers were identified as being<br />

happy passengers. Thanks for<br />
making our job easier.”<br />

LEESTON RESIDENT Gerard<br />
O’Neill hopes the district<br />
council will keep to its word on<br />
restoring the grass verge outside<br />
his home.<br />
“I will believe it when I see it,”<br />
said O’Neill.<br />
He first went to the council<br />
last year to ask them to fix the<br />
grass verge on Barley Mow,<br />
which resembled a “dust bowl”<br />
after fibre optic cable was installed<br />
before<br />
lockdown.<br />
Transportation<br />
asset<br />
delivery manager<br />
Mark<br />
Chamberlain<br />
told the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> that<br />
the contractor<br />
responsible<br />
for the work<br />
had confirmed to the council it<br />
would be returning in coming<br />
weeks to fix the area.<br />
“This work has been left until<br />
autumn, as that is the best conditions<br />
for growing grass and<br />
over summer grass would not<br />
strike due to heat,” Chamberlain<br />
said.<br />
“The contractor has done<br />
renewal works several times on<br />
the berms on this street since<br />
it installed the fibre optic cable<br />
and in most places this has been<br />
successful.”<br />
O’Neill said the cable was<br />
installed along the frontage of<br />
about eight homes on Barley<br />
Mow, following which the<br />
installers put grass seed in some<br />
areas, but this blew away.<br />
He said residents of some of<br />
the homes renewed the grass<br />
themselves. But there remained<br />

Firefighters issue<br />
reminder to<br />
check smoke alarms<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
A SMOKE alarm in a sleepout in<br />
Darfield which caught fire did not<br />
have batteries in it.<br />
Darfield Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
deputy chief Ken Muscroft said<br />
the fire had started from a pot<br />
belly stove in the building, which<br />
was a garage with sleepout.<br />
The fire on Wednesday about<br />
11pm followed a house fire in the<br />
town where a working smoke<br />
alarm helped the occupants<br />
escape in time.<br />
Muscroft said both incidents<br />
were a reminder for people to<br />
check their smoke alarms were operational<br />
with working batteries.<br />
He believed the couple of people<br />
in the sleepout were alerted to<br />
the fire by a noise in the garage.<br />
It was lucky they had heard the<br />
noise, as the smoke alarm did not<br />
have a battery in it.<br />
“It wasn’t a big deal, but it<br />
could’ve been,” he said.<br />
The fire was quickly extinguished<br />
by firefighters. It caused<br />
only minor damage in the garage.<br />
Muscroft said residents in a<br />
burning Darfield home were<br />
able to get out in time after being<br />
alerted by smoke alarms on the<br />
afternoon of <strong>April</strong> 1.<br />
Fire and Emergency New Zealand<br />
Canterbury area commander<br />
Dave Berry said the house fire<br />
on Telegraph Rd left the building<br />
severely damaged.<br />
There was one adult and one<br />
child home at the time of the fire,<br />
the cause of which is still being<br />
investigated.<br />
Meanwhile, a Southbridge family<br />
had just finished stacking their<br />
firewood for winter, when it all<br />
went up in smoke.<br />
Southbridge Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade chief Shane King said the<br />
family arrived home about 5pm,<br />
Easter Sunday, to their rural property<br />
near the town. They found<br />
their woodshed and an older<br />
model car parked nearby ablaze.<br />
It had been just the day before<br />
that they had stacked wood in<br />
the shed. About four cord was<br />
lost, the shed and car were also<br />
destroyed.<br />
“The relatively still conditions<br />
meant the fire did not spread to<br />
the home, about 20m away,’’ King<br />
said.<br />
“They were lucky that the<br />
weather was on their side.”<br />
The blaze is not deemed<br />
suspicious.<br />

CARS IN Lincoln were<br />
spray-painted overnight<br />
last Wednesday.<br />
A resident who asked to<br />
remain anonymous said<br />
she woke up to a swastika<br />
painted on her car and the<br />
tyres slashed.<br />
“I’m very angry. It’s really<br />
inconvenient because<br />
I work in town and to have<br />
something that you’ve<br />
worked for get damaged is<br />
very frustrating.<br />
“I have reported it to<br />
the police, and hope the<br />
vandals get caught.”<br />
A second person made<br />
a post on Facebook which<br />
attracted 120 likes and<br />
more than 50 comments.<br />
Many of the commenters<br />
were posting photos of<br />
the same act on their own<br />
vehicle also in the Lincoln<br />
area.<br />
At least five people<br />
reported the same kind of<br />
vandalism in the post.<br />
“My partner’s work<br />
van in West Belt also got<br />
trashed with tags all over,”<br />
one said.<br />
A car in the Bishopdale<br />
area was also reportedly<br />
targeted in the same way<br />
with ‘FTP’ painted on their<br />
bonnet.<br />
“Our car was vandalised<br />
last night – graffiti and<br />
slashed tyres – parked<br />
on Wooldridge Rd by<br />
Nunweek Park,” a post on<br />

blocks on Dunns Crossing<br />
Rd comprising more than<br />
160ha and providing for<br />
up to 2100 households,<br />
close on May 3.<br />
“It’s a bit of a no-brainer,<br />
the land in the middle<br />
is the same, do the lot,”<br />
Smith said.<br />
This would only be fair<br />
to him and his fellow<br />
neighbouring land owners,<br />
and it would align with<br />
Government policy on<br />
increasing housing supply.<br />
Smith lives on a 0.4ha<br />
block which would lend itself<br />
to being subdivided to<br />
two quarter-acre sections.<br />
Fellow Dunns Crossing<br />
Rd resident Gordon<br />
Chamberlain agreed it did<br />
not make sense to have a<br />
low density area between<br />
two much higher density<br />
subdivisions.<br />
“It will be like two little<br />
villages out on its own,”<br />
Chamberlain said.<br />
An evening with the<br />
His property would lend<br />
itself ideally to being subdivided<br />
into four quarteracre<br />
blocks.<br />
In the past, he had<br />
considered applying for a<br />
plan change to allow this,<br />
but the indication from the<br />
council had been that it<br />
would not be successful.<br />
“We are not objecting<br />
to the (neighbouring)<br />
land being subdivided, we<br />
just want to be included,”<br />
Chamberlain said.<br />
Another Dunns Crossing<br />
Rd resident, Michael<br />
Wright, agreed that his<br />
and his neighbours’ land<br />
between the two blocks<br />
should be part of any rezoning.<br />
His land was about<br />
0.4ha which would lend<br />
itself to subdividing in the<br />
future.<br />
“That whole strip should<br />
be the same,” Wright said.<br />
Council strategy and<br />
policy team leader Robert<br />
Love said the council was<br />
able to consider the plan<br />

following the National<br />
Policy Statement on Urban<br />
Development (NPS-UD)<br />
2020 coming into effect in<br />
August.<br />
This legislation gave<br />
more scope for people to<br />
apply for plan changes that<br />
conflicted with Environment<br />
Canterbury’s Canterbury<br />
Regional Policy Statement,<br />
which covered what<br />
areas could be considered<br />

“Legally, the council<br />
cannot add further land<br />

Love said.<br />
The council could,<br />
however, consider a<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Sounds organisers have<br />
already launched negotiations<br />
worldwide with potential<br />
performers for next year’s<br />

successful event on Saturday.<br />
The fifth annual <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Promoter David Parlane said<br />
while windy conditions had<br />
not been particularly kind to<br />
organisers and concert-goers,<br />
people turned out in their thousands<br />
and each act was a huge<br />
success.<br />

Trash throwing<br />
trio charged<br />
THROWING RUBBISH out<br />
the window, and then driving to<br />
McDonald’s, proved the undoing<br />
of a trio caught at Rolleston in a<br />
stolen car.<br />
Police received a traffic<br />
complaint about rubbish being<br />
thrown from the window of a car<br />
travelling on State Highway 1 on<br />
Sunday about 1pm.<br />
Sergeant Alex Pickover said a<br />
search of the registration number<br />
revealed the car had previously<br />
been reported stolen. It had been<br />
stolen from Christchurch, either<br />
late Saturday or early Sunday.<br />
Police located the vehicle<br />
on Kidman S, Rolleston, and<br />
followed it as it pulled into<br />
McDonald’s. By this time, there<br />
were three police cars at the scene.<br />
They were able to box the car in,<br />
with two behind and one in front,<br />
preventing the car from leaving<br />
the McDonald’s car park.<br />
Sergeant Pickover said the<br />
three occupants, two of which<br />
were aged in their late teens and<br />
the other in their mid-20s, from<br />
Christchurch, were arrested.<br />
The driver was charged with<br />
unlawfully taking a motor vehicle,<br />
breach of bail, and driving while<br />
disqualified. The two passengers<br />
were each charged with<br />
unlawfully getting into a motor<br />
vehicle.<br />

WEEDONS residents are<br />
frustrated they have been<br />
waiting almost a year for<br />
someone to take responsibility<br />
for a smashed brick wall on their<br />
street.<br />
Two double-brick walls are on<br />
opposite sides of Justine Drive<br />
where it starts from Berketts Rd,<br />
but one of the walls has been lying<br />
in ruins for 10 months.<br />
Residents are relieved that<br />
finally that the problem is to<br />
be fixed – by Waka Kotahi NZ<br />
Transport Agency and the district<br />
council.<br />
The walls were installed at<br />
least 10 years ago when what is<br />
now Justine Drive was a private<br />
right of way. In 2018, as part of<br />
the Christchurch Southern Motorway<br />
Stage 2 (CSM2) project,<br />
the right of way was extended<br />
and became a pubic road called<br />
Justine Drive.<br />
As part of CSM2, contractors<br />
employed by NZTA were<br />
widening Berkett’s Rd last year<br />
in June, when one of their diggers<br />
allegedly hit the wall and<br />
smashed a hole in it.<br />
Justine Drive resident Dave<br />
Bryce said he saw a digger<br />
near the wall at the time of it<br />
being smashed, with a group of<br />
workers standing around the<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Damaged wall to be pulled down<br />
area. He assumed the digger<br />
had caused the damage. He<br />
alerted the district council,<br />
where staff informed him about<br />
six weeks after the incident that<br />
they had passed the matter onto<br />
NZTA.<br />
“We never heard anything<br />
more about it. I think someone<br />
should get in and just pull the<br />
thing out,” Bryce said.<br />
Fellow Justine Drive resident<br />
Doug Middlemiss said he had<br />
been pursuing the contractor to<br />
rebuild the wall, however, they<br />
had told him it was not a project<br />
vehicle which had caused the<br />
damage. They referred him to<br />
the district council, where a staff<br />
member told him they would be<br />
talking to the contractor.<br />
“It’s like dealing with naughty<br />
children, you know one of them<br />
did the damage, but you don’t<br />
know which one did it,” Middlemiss<br />
said.<br />
An NZTA spokesperson said<br />
the end of Justine Drive, where<br />
the smashed entrance wall was<br />
located, had not been part of its<br />
CSM2 project.<br />
“However, due to safety<br />
concerns, we are currently<br />
working with <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Council over removal of the<br />
walls at the Berketts Rd end,”<br />

the spokesperson said.<br />
“With funding agreed from<br />
both SDC and Waka Kotahi,<br />
they will be removed in the near<br />
future as part of a separate package<br />
of minor work across the<br />
CSM2 project.”<br />
Middlemiss said it was good<br />
that finally the issue was being<br />
resolved, however, he considered<br />
the NZTA response was “a load<br />
of bollocks.”<br />
“If it was a safety issue, why<br />
did they not remove it when<br />
they widened the road?” Middlemiss<br />
said.<br />
“It’s taken nearly a year and a<br />
phone call from <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.”<br />

Former St John<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
building up for grabs<br />
ST JOHN wants to give away its<br />
earthquake-damaged former<br />
ambulance station at Darfield.<br />
It is seeking a community<br />
group or organisation to take<br />
over ownership and restore the<br />
building, which is listed as a<br />
heritage building in the district<br />
council’s proposed District Plan.<br />
The former station, at the corner<br />
of Currie St and North Tce,<br />
has been closed for 10 years, following<br />
the earthquakes. St John<br />
now operates from a new station<br />
in Bray St, which it built after the<br />
earthquakes through insurance<br />
proceeds and fundraising.<br />
The former ambulance station<br />
was built in 1912 and is located<br />
on a reserve that was gazetted<br />
to the St John Ambulance<br />
Association in 1969 for use as<br />
ambulance headquarters.<br />
St John <strong>Selwyn</strong> area committee<br />
chairwoman Ann Shepherd<br />
said earthquake damage to the<br />
building was substantial, and it<br />
needed extensive repairs.<br />
“St John is not in a position to<br />
afford such renovation work. Its<br />
requirements have changed, and it<br />
needs to divest itself of this building<br />
and land,” she said.<br />
“It is looking to work with a<br />
community-focused group or<br />
DAMAGED: St John’s ambulance station in Darfield could<br />
be given away to an organisation that will repair it.<br />
individual, interested in taking<br />
on a restoration project. As an<br />
organisation we are happy to<br />
discuss transferring ownership<br />
of the building (free of charge) to<br />
a group or individual.”<br />
Interested community groups<br />
or members of the community<br />
can phone Shepherd on 318 4774<br />
or 027 226 2936.<br />
District council strategy and<br />
policy team leader Robert Love<br />
said the building was suggested<br />
for inclusion in the proposed<br />
District Plan by a member of the<br />
public at a drop-in day in 2018.<br />
This was following the council<br />
asking the public for suggestions<br />
of buildings that may merit<br />
inclusion under the plan.<br />
“It was included in the heritage<br />
listings after a formal assessment<br />
and with no objections from the<br />
owner,” Love said.<br />
Teens involved in<br />
drink driving incidents<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
YOUTHS WERE responsible<br />
for a series of spectacularly bad<br />
drink driving incidents over<br />
Easter Weekend.<br />
On the eve of Good<br />
Friday, an 18-year-old<br />
allegedly crashed into a<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand Ford Ranger ute,<br />
parked on the side of the<br />
road at Darfield.<br />
Area commander Dave<br />
Berry said the ute, fully<br />
marked up with FENZ<br />
reflector signage, would<br />
have been obvious to<br />
motorists with their headlights<br />
on. The ute, which was outside<br />
the home of a FENZ employee,<br />
received severe damage in the<br />
crash.<br />
Senior Sergeant Dean Harker<br />
said the driver was located<br />
nearby. He was processed for<br />
drink driving.<br />
Harker said the incident was<br />
followed by another two on<br />
Easter Saturday.<br />
About 8.30pm an 18-year-old<br />
allegedly crashed into two parked<br />
vehicles in Rolleston before driving<br />
from the scene. Ambulance<br />
staff located him unconscious<br />
behind the wheel, stationary at<br />
traffic lights on Main South Rd.<br />
They notified police who had<br />
Wednesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />
Dave Berry<br />
NEWS 9<br />
been looking for the offender<br />
after they had been alerted to the<br />
crash. Police processed him for<br />
drink driving.<br />
Later that night, around<br />
midnight, another 18-year-old<br />
had fellow motorists<br />
concerned as he drove<br />
towards Rolleston without<br />
a tyre on the wheel<br />
of his car. The rim was<br />
making contact with the<br />
road.<br />
Police received three<br />
calls from concerned<br />
motorists about the<br />
car. One of the callers<br />
followed the man until<br />
he came to a stop on Larcombs<br />
Rd.<br />
Police went to the scene. They<br />
noted the car’s air bags were deployed,<br />
indicating it had crashed<br />
into something. They processed<br />
the driver for drink driving,<br />
where the teen’s level was 895<br />
micrograms of alcohol per litre of<br />
breath.<br />
“He didn’t really care about<br />
what had happened, he just<br />
wanted to get to a mate’s party in<br />
Rolleston,” Harker said.<br />
Harker said the behaviour<br />
from youth was alarming.<br />
“Obviously alcohol and young<br />
drivers don’t mix. It’s a recipe for<br />
disaster.”<br />

playing the role of the show’s<br />

“They have been in to rehearse<br />
with their fellow actors in recent<br />
weeks,” she said.<br />
“It’s pushed some of these<br />
high performing individuals<br />
out of their comfort zone,<br />
but it probably comes as no<br />
surprise that a few of them have<br />
performed on stage previously,”<br />
Hyde said.<br />
“It was really good to get all of<br />
them involved because one of our<br />
big things is having support for<br />
the arts in <strong>Selwyn</strong>. Having people<br />
from those backgrounds spreads<br />
the word that arts and culture is<br />
for everybody.”<br />
Broughton said he had not yet<br />
memorised the four to five lines<br />
the role required, and the only<br />
time he had acted on stage before<br />
was in school productions.<br />
“Getting on stage for meetings<br />
or performance always brings<br />
nerves for me, but hopefully I’m<br />
not a possum in headlights,”<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Central Arts Council or Arts Heart as most of us know it, has been<br />
around for over 20 years in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> area.<br />
It was started with the goal of bringing Art into the then rural community. To<br />
that end Arts Heart has been offering workshops, displays, shows, programmes<br />
and exhibitions locally and we are about to hold our 19th Annual Art Exhibition.<br />
ALL ARTISTS are welcome to enter and we have had an eight year old and an<br />
87 year old exhibitor, first time exhibitors, emerging, and practicing artists, we<br />
encourage everyone. Paint, wood, cotton, stone, paper, using a camera, a brush,<br />
a chisel, a needle, tin snips or plastic - all forms of creativity are welcomed into<br />
this iconic exhibition.<br />
Many of the now well known and respected artists in this region first<br />
exhibited with Arts Heart. Our committee is caring, our fees minimal,<br />
our experience vast and our desire to showcase the talent in this area is<br />
extreme.<br />
One such artist is West Melton resident LARA POMROY.<br />
Lara was encouraged to enter the first exhibition by Margaret McFedries a<br />
foundation committee member. Lara had never shown her work and was<br />
unsure but eventually did enter and that year 2005, her Waka painting<br />
was purchased by the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council and is still on display in the<br />
Rolleston Community Centre. Lara Pomroy has never looked back and<br />
has been a regular exhibitor. She is now encouraging her students at the<br />
ARTWEST Studio in West Melton to enter. Lara believes that with a set of<br />
skills, a set of tools and a teacher everyone can find that elusive valuable<br />
goal of creativity Lara runs art tutorials and classes for beginners and<br />
emerging artists at her local studio called ARTWEST. Lara’s attitude is<br />
everyone can learn to paint and that art is a therapy, a challenge and a joy.<br />

Reader Martin Towers of<br />
Lincoln responds to zoning plan<br />
changes potentially earmarked<br />
for the district<br />
I have already lodged an objection<br />
to 950 new homes in Rolleston on the<br />
grounds that the infrastructure does not<br />
exist to support them.<br />
By infrastructure, I mean that 950<br />
houses means that 950 people, probably<br />
more will set off to work in the morning<br />
and the first question is where?<br />
Rolleston is primarily a residential<br />
area, so most will set off towards town.<br />
How will they travel and what route<br />
will they take? Imagine an extra 950<br />
cars joining the queue at Brougham St.<br />
Or will they take Shands Rd through<br />
the everlasting roadworks to Hornby?<br />
Above all, this is our widely-shared<br />
desire to reduce carbon emissions and<br />
from that point of view living a long<br />
way from work is undesirable.<br />
That brings into question the planning<br />
of the city and surrounding<br />
areas. New developments in Rolleston,<br />
Lincoln, Pegasus Kaiapoi all depend on<br />
the long commute being acceptable and<br />
expandable.<br />
So more road improvements, more<br />
motorways and increased consumption<br />
fuel, cars and tyres.<br />
The 950 houses that I found alarming<br />
has now jumped to 6500. This indicates<br />
an alarming lack of co-ordination<br />
between city and <strong>Selwyn</strong> planners.<br />

It was the biggest ever exhibition to date at the at the seventh biennial Easter Art Weekend<br />
at Castle Hill, with work from 45 artists on display. The main exhibition at the village hall was<br />
complemented with workshops and artworks on offer throughout the area over the weekend.<br />
The Great Easter Egg Hunt captured the imaginations of children, who set off eagerly from the<br />
start line. Workshops included hand lettering embroidery, stone painting and zentangle. Castle<br />
Hill Creative’s organisers were grateful to the district council’s Creative Communities for supporting<br />
the event, which was postponed from last year.<br />

• By Chris Barclay<br />
PREBBLETON snatched an<br />
opening round cliffhanger<br />
over Methven in the Luisetti<br />
Seeds Combined Division One<br />
rugby competition with a lastgasp<br />
penalty also regaining<br />
the Busch-Lemon Shield on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Methven looked on track<br />
to leave Prebbleton with four<br />
points and the trophy contested<br />
between the two clubs<br />
when Tait Chisman crossed<br />
out wide and Reuben Early<br />
slotted a tricky conversion to<br />
give the visitors a 22-20 lead<br />
on the brink of full-time.<br />
However, Prebbleton efficiently<br />
worked their way<br />
down the field from the restart<br />
and when a Methven defender<br />
was penalised for a no-arms<br />
tackle, Lachie Stove slotted the<br />
match-winner from in front of<br />
the posts from 20-odd metres,<br />
albeit into a stiff breeze.<br />
“They scored in the corner<br />
with a minute to go in regular<br />
time and their guy converted,”<br />
said Prebbleton coach Dave<br />
Kettle.<br />
“Then we managed to work<br />
our way down the field and got<br />
a penalty pretty adjacent to the<br />
posts in the 81st minute. We<br />
just got a lucky break, it could<br />
have gone either way.”<br />
Prebbleton now have a second<br />
round bye while Methven<br />
seek to bounce back against<br />
pool B leaders Lincoln.<br />
Champions Southbridge,<br />
who also have a bye this weekend,<br />
opened their campaign in<br />
pool A with a 31-12 win over<br />
Hampstead but last year’s runners-up<br />
Waihora were edged<br />
21-18 by Southern in pool B.<br />
There is a new competition<br />
format this season with three<br />
pools comprising North Canterbury<br />
clubs on their own,<br />
while two other two groupings<br />
feature teams from Ellesmere<br />
and Mid Canterbury.<br />

Lucky break for Prebbleton<br />
Prebbleton and Methven fought out a tense<br />
Luisetti Seeds Combined Division One rugby<br />
opening round clash, where Reuben Early’s<br />
late sideline conversion was ultimately in<br />
vain due to a last-gasp penalty.<br />
quarterfinals where they will<br />
be joined by top sides from the<br />
North Canterbury pool.<br />

BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology<br />
(insects and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a<br />
new species found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims<br />
to raise public awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living<br />
things around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found<br />
at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyard-biodiversity-bugs-inmy-lincoln-section<br />
New bee on the<br />
block a bit of a bully<br />
THERE’S A NEW a new<br />
bee on the block and it’s a<br />
bully.<br />
This aggressor is called<br />
the wool carder bee<br />
(Anthidium manicatum)<br />
and is a native of Europe,<br />
Asia and North America.<br />
In New Zealand the<br />
species was first observed in<br />
Nelson and Napier in 2006.<br />
The bees resemble the<br />
exotic Vespula wasp with<br />
their black and yellow<br />
stripes and probably gain<br />
a little respect through this<br />
mimicry behaviour.<br />
Males are slightly larger<br />
in size than females being<br />
<strong>14</strong>-17mm and 11-13mm<br />
respectively.<br />
The species gets its name<br />
from its behaviour of scrapping<br />
hair from leaves that it<br />
uses to build its nest.<br />
The bee is a solitary species<br />
that nests in pre-existing<br />
holes or cracks.<br />
In mid-March, when the<br />
species is most commonly<br />
observed in New Zealand,<br />
I found a specimen nesting<br />
in the screw hole of a hose<br />
reel.<br />
Nests consist of a woolly<br />
ball of leaf hairs, pollen,<br />
nectar, and a solitary egg.<br />
Male wool carder<br />
bees are very territorial<br />
and aggressively defend<br />
floral resources against<br />
other flower visitors and<br />
particularly males of the<br />
same species.<br />
Females foraging these<br />
defended areas mate with<br />
the male ‘owners’ of the<br />
floral resources.<br />

Services<br />
This way…<br />
Our map for the next 10 years<br />
Over the next few weeks we'll be highlighting eight big decisions we<br />
need your help with as part of the Long-Term Plan consultation.<br />
This week: drinking water and the future of the new Prebbleton<br />
Community Centre.<br />
BIG DECISION 1<br />
Join your local Anzac Day commemoration service on Sunday 25 <strong>April</strong> and remember the sacrifices of<br />
our servicemen and women. Services are organised by local Returned and Services Associations.<br />
Keeping our drinking water safe (<strong>2021</strong>–2031)<br />
We’re responsible for providing a safe and reliable drinking water<br />
supply, through 27 water supplies which service close to 80%<br />
of residential properties in <strong>Selwyn</strong> – around 20,000 households.<br />
To meet community expectations and national drinking water<br />
standards, we must ensure that all Council supplies are treated to<br />
the required safe level.<br />

OUR PREFERRED OPTION<br />
Continue our current approach to maintaining safe drinking<br />
water supplies.<br />
We will only chlorinate remaining non-chlorinated water supplies<br />
if our risk assessment or regulation require us to do so. We would<br />
maintain the current infrastructure to ensure that water supplies<br />
meet national water quality standards. However, as standards and<br />
requirements change, we cannot commit to increased spending to<br />
remain chlorine-free.<br />
Cost<br />
Around $1 million in <strong>2021</strong>/22<br />
Impact on rates<br />
Around 1% increase in water rates, or about $4 a year for an<br />
average residential property.<br />
OTHER OPTION<br />
Upgrade some supplies so that they can<br />
avoid chlorination.<br />
This means we would need to improve some of our water<br />
infrastructure to meet water quality standards without relying on<br />
chlorine treatment. Costs, impact on rates and impact on debt<br />
would all be higher. Cost would be around $30 million, with a 20%<br />
increase in water rates (about $100 a year).<br />
BIG DECISION 6<br />
Future of the new Prebbleton Community Centre<br />
(2025/26)<br />
A new Prebbleton Community Centre was proposed in the Long-Term<br />
Plan 2018–2028. To allow time to understand the exact needs and<br />
the best site, we’re proposing to build the new community centre in<br />
2025/26. Initial assessment indicates that a flexible facility, which can<br />
cater for a variety of uses and age groups, is needed.<br />
OUR PREFERRED OPTION<br />
All change for changing at the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre<br />
New changing rooms will be available in coming weeks at the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Aquatic Centre as the extension<br />
moves towards completion.<br />
The majority of the existing changing rooms will be reopened by 4 May. These include the two accessible<br />
changing rooms, three family changing rooms and the male changing rooms all due to reopen.<br />
In addition five new family changing rooms and a new family accessible changing room will be opened,<br />
along with new smaller male and female overflow changing rooms next to the aquatic centre extension.<br />
The existing female changing rooms are still undergoing maintenance work and are expected to be ready<br />
to reopen in early June. The portacom changing rooms that are currently in place will remain as long as<br />
required and people are encouraged to seek advice from staff on the day for the best option for changing.<br />
The new 10-lane, 25-metre pool and new increased foyer, retail area and multi-use rooms will open in<br />
early June.<br />
On the Roads<br />
Repairs are taking place on the Waimakariri Gorge Bridge. Pavement repairs are taking place on<br />
The Lake Road between Harts Road and Tramway Reserve Road and on Brookside Road between<br />
Burnham School Road and East Maddisons Road. Traffic management is in place for these works.<br />
Construct a new community centre.<br />
This proposed centre would be a multi-purpose facility, suitable for<br />
many different types of functions, and for a range of users and ages.<br />
It would also include some specialised spaces.<br />
Cost<br />
$6.3 million<br />
Impact on rates<br />
$12 per year (already provided for within the Community Centres<br />
Targeted Rate).<br />
OTHER OPTION Defer the project to outside the 10-year plan.<br />
This option would have no impact on rates or debt, and the<br />
Community Centres Targeted Rate would reduce by $12 per year.<br />

Help keep our drains flowing<br />
With autumn here and wind and rain on the way, drains can quickly<br />
become blocked with leaves. You can help avoid flooding around<br />
your property and street by removing any leaves that are clogging<br />
drains. Council contractors do regularly clear drains, but leaves can<br />
quickly build up especially in windy conditions at autumn time. So<br />
build a leaf pile for the children, make mulch for the garden or just<br />
enjoy some time out in the fresh air helping out your street.<br />

Kirkwood Intermediate<br />
School of Choice<br />
Celebrating Kirkwood<br />
House Captains for <strong>2021</strong><br />
Year 7 Camp<br />
Our Year 7 pupils have recently<br />
attended a camp at Purau Bay.<br />
This is a great way for the children<br />
to get to know each other.<br />
Swimming in the<br />
ocean on the first day of<br />
camp and picking up rubbish<br />
in Governors Bay, for left over<br />
chocolates, was my favourite part<br />
of camp.<br />
I learnt that Rippa Island existed,<br />
and I learnt the island’s past uses.<br />
I also learnt a lot more about<br />
the Māori culture in and<br />
around Ripapa.<br />
From the left: Blake, Indianna, Varley, Connor, James, Marcella, Niamh<br />
and Oscar<br />
House Captains for Mansfield/Hillary<br />
Varley C - Ex Springston School<br />
The things I like about Kirkwood Intermediate School are swimming and<br />
technology. This year I would like to inspire other students and take on new<br />
opportunities. The reason I wanted to be a House Captain was to gain more<br />
confidence in speaking to others and to try new things.<br />
James B - Ex Springston School<br />
I like Kirkwood Intermediate School for the sport opportunities that it offers.<br />
This year I would like to be the best sports boy. The reason for wanting to<br />
become a House Captain is that it will test and improve my leadership skills.<br />
My favourite part of camp<br />
was the abseiling because<br />
it was fun basically walking<br />
down a cliff.<br />
On camp we learnt how to<br />
turn the canoe.<br />
House Captains for Sheppard/Freyberg<br />
Marcella C - Ex Lincoln Primary School<br />
I like Kirkwood Intermediate School for the opportunities that the school has<br />
to offer, for example, extension opportunities and the sports options. This<br />
year I would like to run fundraisers to improve the image and enjoyment of<br />
school. I wanted to be a House Captain to gain more confidence in myself<br />
and to make a difference by sharing my opinions.<br />
Connor C - Ex Hoon Hay School<br />
Kirkwood Intermediate School gives you many opportunities to try new<br />
things. This year I would like to make Kirkwood Intermediate School a better<br />
place. I wanted to become a House Captain so I could help people and it<br />
gives me a good chance of trying something new.<br />
House Captains for Britten/Te Kanawa<br />
Indianna M - Ex Clearview Primary<br />
One of the things I like about Kirkwood is the old fashion feel, I also love<br />
that all the students get many opportunities offered to them. This year my<br />
goal was to become a House Captain and now that I have achieved that my<br />
new goal is to be a great leader so all of the students will have a great year.<br />
The reason for becoming a House Captain is because it would boost my<br />
confidence, encourage me to become a better person and be a good role<br />
model for others.<br />
Abseiling was my favourite<br />
part of camp because it was<br />
fun, challenging and a new<br />
experience. I thought that I<br />
wouldn’t go the whole way<br />
down but I did!<br />
My favourite part of<br />
Purau Bay Camp was when<br />
we played ‘Kick the Can’. It was<br />
really funny watching people run<br />
in other people’s clothes and the<br />
seeker was so confused.<br />
I learnt how to canoe, put on<br />
the abseiling harness and<br />
how to wash dishes.<br />
Blake N - Ex Dunsandel Primary School<br />
I like the range of subjects available at Kirkwood Intermediate School. This<br />
year as a House Captain I want to make the school a better place. I would<br />
like to help people and do my best to make a difference to the school.<br />
House Captains for Rutherford/Batten<br />
Niamh L - Ex Burnham Primary School<br />
I enjoy Kirkwood Intermediate as there are many opportunities you can<br />
take part in, for example, EPro8 (Inter-school Science and Engineering<br />
Competition), Science badges and much more. I would like to organise<br />
more fun days and sports days so this year can be memorable. I wanted to<br />
become a House Captain to gain more confidence and improve my public<br />
speaking. I am also a great leader.<br />
Oscar M - Ex South Hornby<br />
The part I like about Kirkwood Intermediate is that it is bigger than my<br />
previous school and it has great staff. This year I want to make it a happier<br />
place and make it exciting for those new to Kirkwood, especially those who<br />
are quieter. I have not taken on many opportunities in the past. The teacher<br />
I had last year said I would make a good leader so I thought I would take on<br />
this opportunity.<br />

Get your diesel vehicle in<br />
great shape for winter<br />
If you are experiencing any difficulty<br />
starting your diesel vehicle it is advisable<br />

have an expensive repair on your hands.<br />
With the latest diagnostic equipment<br />
on site, Diesel Fix has the expertise to<br />
accurately identify and fix the problem<br />
whatever it turns out to be.<br />
While diesel vehicles can be more<br />
economic with greater fuel efficiency<br />
they need regular servicing and<br />
maintenance. When a fuel injection unit<br />
needs repairing, it should be carried<br />
out by a qualified automotive diesel<br />
engineer. Book in to Diesel Fix now for<br />
a service and have your vehicle in top<br />
condition to face the colder weather.<br />
Phil Thompson and his wife Kylie<br />

him one of an elite group of diesel fuel<br />
injection experts in Canterbury and<br />

Free battery testing<br />

winter hits. They have an extensive range of<br />
batteries located conveniently on site. In stock are<br />
batteries for motor vehicles, motorcycles, jet-skis,<br />
four-wheelers, marine batteries and deep cycle<br />
batteries for campervans.<br />
in New Zealand and Australia and has<br />
more than 30 years’ fuel injection work<br />
behind him.<br />
Phil looks after all facets of diesel fuel<br />
injection servicing, from dismantling<br />
pumps to reconditioning the units.<br />
Diesel Fix reconditions fuel injection<br />
pumps and injectors, services common<br />
rail injectors and Efi injectors, and<br />
carries out compression testing and<br />
vehicle scanning. They carry new<br />
common rail injectors, reconditioned<br />
injector pumps and injectors (for supply<br />
or exchange) and other diesel parts. They<br />
offer Glow plug testing and replacement.<br />
Any pump or diesel fuel injection<br />
part in need of servicing or repair can<br />
be dropped off or couriered to Diesel<br />
Fix. If you have a concern or question in<br />
relation to a diesel vehicle, Phil has the<br />

28 <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> Wednesday <strong>April</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2021</strong><br />
Bright spot in Mitsubishi’s SUV range<br />
I WAS PICKING up Mitsubishi’s<br />
new Eclipse Cross from the<br />
dealership and entered into<br />
conversation with one of the<br />
members from the friendly sales<br />
team.<br />
After being shown around the<br />
car, I mentioned that it seemed<br />
too soon for the mid-size sport<br />
utility vehicle to undergo a generation<br />
change. In reply I was told<br />
the old model had been around<br />
for three years and, although time<br />
has obviously escaped me, that is<br />
indeed correct.<br />
To say the Eclipse Cross is<br />
all new isn’t strictly so, there<br />
are many elements that are<br />
carryovers, yet the popular SUV<br />
has had some dramatic changes<br />
that enhance its usability and<br />
driveability. For one, it’s bigger –<br />
<strong>14</strong>cm longer in fact – and most of<br />
that has gone into the rear of the<br />
model, increasing load and rear<br />
passenger space.<br />
While the engine hasn’t been<br />
altered in design, there have<br />
been improvements to make it<br />
quieter and more responsive. It<br />
also drives out of a new all-corner<br />
power proportioning system.<br />
Well, it’s not new either, but<br />
it is new to Eclipse Cross, see<br />
it’s much the same system that<br />
Mitsubishi has used in its Lancer<br />
Evolution models and the old V6-<br />
powered Outlander.<br />
The Super All Wheel Control<br />
system is advanced and can be<br />
seen largely as a safety system,<br />
ROOMY: The new Eclipse Cross is longer than the previous<br />
model, most of the length has gone into the rear section.<br />
MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS: Generation change for <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
it also has modes for snow and<br />
gravel that can be selected at will<br />
by the driver.<br />
Of course, not all Eclipse Cross<br />
variants have four-wheel-drive, the<br />
four-model range starts at $35,990<br />
for a front-drive only model,<br />
there’s also a high-spec VRX frontdriver<br />
at $41,990. The four-wheeldrive<br />
range starts at $37,990 for<br />
the XLS, the evaluation car was<br />
the high spec VRX at $43,990, and<br />
it is chock full of goodies.<br />
Items such as leather trim<br />
(heated seats front and rear),<br />
head-up display, dual-zone climate<br />
control, active cruise control with<br />
speed limiter, keyless entry and ignition,<br />
electric sunroof (dual) and<br />
paddle-shift eight-step automatic<br />
transmission are all fitted.<br />
It’s fair to say the controls have<br />
all been simplified as well, gone is<br />
the old centre console mouse-like<br />
device, the new Eclipse Cross has<br />
a touch screen display which has<br />
large icons for easy understanding<br />
and operation.<br />
Now at 4.5m the Eclipse Cross<br />
has a spacious in-cabin environment;<br />
the seats are beautifully<br />
supportive and comfortable,<br />
while rear seat head and leg room<br />
is appropriate, the latter not<br />
compromised by that healthy rear<br />
load space area – up to 405-litres<br />
of storage can be contained there,<br />
stretching to 672-litres with the<br />
rear seats folded. Bear in mind,<br />
though, it is a five-seater only.<br />
At the other end sits a turbocharged<br />
four-cylinder engine of<br />
<strong>14</strong>99cc. If you are thinking that it<br />
would be underwhelming, you’ll<br />
be largely surprised, and take<br />
into account that’s the direction<br />
Honda has gone with its CRV,<br />
the capacity and outputs are very<br />
similar.<br />
The Eclipse Cross’ unit is stateof-the-art<br />
in terms of design, and<br />
it has healthy figures to support<br />
that statement. Mitsubishi claims<br />
112kW and 254Nm power outputs,<br />
the latter realised flat across the<br />
torque curve spreading from<br />
2000rpm to 3500rpm. If you add<br />
in its pairing to a continuously<br />
variable automatic transmission,<br />
then the ingredients are in place for<br />
a smooth transition of power and<br />
responsive throttle application.<br />
Drive through the CVT is<br />
seamless, that’s an area Mitsubishi<br />
has long persevered with, and<br />
that background has certainly<br />
helped with its application mated<br />
to a turbocharged engine, the<br />
result is a free-flowing spread of<br />
power, and good economy and<br />
performance figures.<br />
The Eclipse Cross is rated with<br />
a combined cycle average of<br />
7.7-litre per 100km. On a long<br />
high-country journey I had no<br />
problem meeting Mitsubishi’s<br />
fuel usage claim with the readout<br />
constantly listing at 8.2l/100km,<br />

• Price – Mitsubishi Eclipse<br />
Cross VRX, $43,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4545mm; width, 1805mm;<br />
height, 1685mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
<strong>14</strong>99cc, 112kW, 254Nm,<br />
continuously variable<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km<br />
the engine loping over very relaxed<br />
at just 1800rpm.<br />
In terms of acceleration, the<br />
Eclipse Cross will cut out a standstill<br />
to 100km/h time of 9sec, and<br />
it will power through a highway<br />
overtake (80-120km/h) in 6.8sec,<br />
using the paddle shifters to keep<br />
the engine singing happily in its<br />
peak power zone. These are all<br />
impressive figures which would<br />
make a buyer quite happy with<br />
his/her purchase.<br />
The Eclipse Cross is also rather<br />
tidy when it comes to tackling a<br />
tricky corner or two. I took the<br />
evaluation car through the hilly<br />
back roads beneath the Malvern<br />
Hills between Sheffield and<br />
Coalgate, those roads are partly<br />
unsealed and I was keen to get the<br />
feel of the SWAC system working<br />
beneath. However, what happens<br />
when grip is low is that all the<br />
unseen elements kick in and the<br />
driver is quite oblivious as to how<br />
that system is working for you.<br />
On seal the Eclipse Cross has<br />
purposeful steering, the weighting<br />
is near perfect and there is<br />
solid communication as to how<br />
the rubber is reacting to the road<br />
surface. The tyres are a Toyo<br />
brand (225/55 x 18in) and they<br />
send strong messages through the<br />
steering system so that the driver<br />
is fully aware of how the entire<br />
car is reacting under cornering<br />
pressure. Body movement is low<br />
and suspension control is high.<br />
It must also be said the Eclipse<br />
Cross moves through the air<br />
quietly, the ride is controlled,<br />
generating a level of comfort not<br />
often found in a mainstream,<br />
cost-friendly SUV.<br />
Mitsubishi are well pleased<br />
with their performance over the<br />
last year or two. They have a vast<br />
product range that hasn’t been<br />
overly affected by supply issues<br />
due to Covid-19.<br />
What’s more, another high-profile,<br />
new-generation model is due<br />
soon – the Outlander. It and the<br />
Eclipse Cross will dovetail nicely<br />
in the marketplace, while sales of<br />
the evergreen ASX continue to<br />
tick over.<br />
Any Mitsubishi buyer will be<br />
pleased with the purchase, the<br />
product is affordable and high<br />
in quality. There is also peace of<br />
mind, the Eclipse Cross gets a 10-<br />
year driveline warranty.<br />
has motoring covered!<br />

AUTUMN HAS rolled in<br />
bringing shorter days with a<br />
definite chill in the air.<br />
Leaves will start to turn as we<br />
embark on a busy month in the<br />
garden.<br />
A very ‘fruitful’ time in the<br />
garden with late harvest of<br />
numerous vegetables such as<br />
jerusalem artichokes, beans,<br />
beetroot, carrots, corn, cucumber,<br />
kumara, leeks, lettuce,<br />
onion, potatoes, pumpkin,<br />
radishes, silverbeet, spinach<br />
and tomatoes.<br />
If you haven’t prepared your<br />
winter vegetable garden now,<br />
then get started. Include plenty<br />
of compost and fertiliser.<br />
If possible, raise the earth<br />
to be planted to ensure winter<br />
veges do not become water<br />
logged over wet winter<br />
months.<br />
Winter veges to plant in <strong>April</strong><br />
include broad beans, carrots,<br />
cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower,<br />
lettuce, onions, peas, radish,<br />
spinach, swedes and turnips.<br />
In the flower garden, your<br />
summer annuals will be winding<br />
down. Continue to deadhead<br />
plants where you want to<br />
prolong displays.<br />
Soil should be prepared for<br />
new plantings in the same<br />
fashion as the vegetable garden.<br />
Plan your winter flowering<br />
garden carefully to achieve longevity<br />
of blooms throughout<br />
the season. Winter annuals to<br />
plant in <strong>April</strong> include – Alyssum,<br />
calendulas, cornflower,<br />
cinerarias, lobelia, nemesia,<br />
pansies, snapdragons, stock,<br />
sweet william and violas.<br />
<strong>April</strong> and May are the main<br />
months for planting new strawberry<br />
plants. Strawberries crop<br />
freely on one and sometimes<br />
two-year-old plants, and then<br />
they should be removed.<br />
Strawberries grow best in<br />
fertile soils, and beds should be<br />
raised to ensure good drainage.<br />
Space new plants 150-<br />
200mm apart, on mounds up<br />
to 200mm above the existing<br />
ground level.<br />
Autumn is the time to lift<br />
and divide any perennials<br />
where overcrowding has occurred.<br />
This involves trimming<br />
any old growth back to ground<br />
level, digging up, dividing and<br />
then replanting where required.<br />
Not all perennials require this<br />
treatment and therefore can<br />
remain undisturbed for many<br />
years.<br />
Replant containers with salad<br />
vegetables, herbs or flowering<br />
winter annuals and move them<br />
into a position that is warmer<br />
and sunnier during the winter<br />
months.<br />

GARDENING 31<br />
Tree and hedge<br />
trimming: Check<br />
around the house for trees<br />
or hedges that are getting<br />
close to walls, gutters or<br />
the roof. Look for old<br />
branches that may be<br />
vulnerable to the first big<br />
storms, book an arbourist<br />
to trim and shape big<br />
trees. It is too early to start<br />
pruning but dead head<br />
flowering shrubs, pick<br />
fruit that is past ripening,<br />
start raking leaves. Trim<br />
back plants that are<br />
overhanging pathways,<br />
doors or entrances as there<br />
is nothing worse than wet<br />
leaves in your face on a<br />
dark winter’s night.<br />
Get scrubbing:<br />
This has hardly been the<br />
summer for moss and<br />
mould, but check and<br />
scrub potential damp spots<br />
that may get slippery in the<br />
first rains. And scrub or<br />
bleach the garden furniture<br />
while there is still good<br />
sunshine to dry it so it<br />
won’t go mouldy in winter.<br />
A time to plant: It is<br />
far too early to plant fruit<br />
trees or roses, even shrubs<br />
prefer planting in winter.<br />
But if you are itching to<br />
get started, some citrus<br />
trees suit autumn planting<br />
and you can always start<br />
ROUTINE: Get spring<br />
bulbs in the ground<br />
now and it’s also time<br />
to trim hedges.<br />
modifying your soil (or<br />
clay) with composts and<br />
loams ready for the new<br />
inhabitants.<br />
Bulbs: If you kick<br />
yourself every August<br />
or September when the<br />
spring flowers come out<br />
and you haven’t got any,<br />
get planting. Daffodils,<br />
freesias, jonquils,<br />
anemones and ranunculas<br />
can all go in now. Start<br />
a few in pots to delight<br />
friends whose birthdays<br />
fall in spring.<br />
HARDY: Leeks and broad beans will do will during winter.<br />
Save money, grow your own food<br />
KIWIS ARE increasingly<br />
discovering the rewards of<br />
growing their own food.<br />
People seeking to save<br />
money are choosing to<br />
plant a vegetable garden<br />
instead of buying vegetables<br />
from the supermarket.<br />
There are so many benefits<br />
from growing your own<br />
food. There’s the satisfaction<br />
of successfully raising<br />
plants from seed and then<br />
harvesting and eating them.<br />
Gardening is also good<br />
exercise and many people<br />
discover it’s a wonderful<br />
way to unwind.<br />
If you have never tried<br />
growing plants from seed<br />
before don’t be put off by<br />
the fact we are entering<br />
late autumn and winter as<br />
there are seeds to be sown<br />
right now. There are many<br />
vegetables which will do<br />
well in all environments<br />
during winter – leeks, turnips,<br />
broad beans, kale and<br />
endive (or chicory).<br />
Broad beans are enjoying<br />
resurgence in favour and<br />
are relatively easy to grow,<br />
producing large ‘fat’ pods<br />
containing three to five<br />
green beans which are excellent<br />
sautéed with garlic, a<br />
lightly steamed vegetable or<br />
even whipped into a tasty<br />
dip.<br />
Leeks are a large, upright,<br />
non-bulbing type of onion<br />
and can be used much as<br />
onions are to flavour soups<br />
and salads or cooked in a<br />
cheese sauce.<br />
Turnips were once as<br />
popular as tomatoes and<br />
their popularity probably<br />
declined once the yearround<br />
choice of vegetables<br />
increased thanks to imports.<br />
The trend to convenience<br />
foods may also be a reason<br />
as turnips are a key ingredient<br />
of wholesome vegetable<br />
soup.<br />
Why not start your own<br />
soup-making revival by<br />
growing turnips for the<br />
pot?<br />
There’s an amazing<br />
variety of chicory, many of<br />
which are used in Mediterranean<br />
salads or sautéed<br />
dishes.<br />
Their leaves can be<br />
harvested individually as<br />
the plants mature, or the<br />
whole leafy ‘head’ cut for a<br />
meal.<br />

Top Tips!<br />
with intelligro<br />
Autumn is a great time to plant bulbs<br />
like daffodils, tulips, and freesias. A<br />
beautiful burst of Spring colour after<br />
the long days of winter is welcomed in<br />
any garden and lets us know that new<br />
growth and warmer days are on the way.<br />
The key to success is ensuring you have<br />
prepared area you are planting in.<br />
For garden beds mix in some Organic Compost<br />
with the soil, and a touch of Blood and Bone for<br />
an extra nutrient boost if you have poor soil.<br />
If you choose to plant in pots or containers,<br />
Patio Plus or All Purpose Potting Mix are the top<br />
choices as they are packed with all the nutrients<br />
to help with healthy growth and development.<br />
There is still time<br />
to get new lawns<br />
started, and time to<br />
repair any existing<br />
ones.<br />

to Covid Level 4 lockdown and was held in the October<br />
holidays instead. The organizers wanted to return the <strong>2021</strong><br />
Scarecrow Trail to the <strong>April</strong> holidays slot but were concerned<br />
that the scarecrow makers may be reluctant to launch into<br />
creative mode again so soon.<br />
The request for expressions of interest was sent out and<br />
the organisers decided that if there were 20 entries, half of<br />
the usual number of 40, then it would go ahead. There was<br />
an immediate response indicating renewed support from the<br />
sponsors, Four Square Supermarket, Brinkley Resort, Jackson<br />
Holmes, Philip Wareing and the Methven Community Board.<br />
This was quickly followed by a flurry of entries from many<br />
previous scarecrow creators and a number of enthusiastic<br />
entries from newcomers.<br />
Did entries reach the required 20 entries? They surely did<br />
and entries were oversubscribed within days. The organizers<br />
have had to limit the entries to 40 scarecrow locations to<br />
make the Trail manageable for participants.<br />
So it is all on for the <strong>April</strong> school holidays:<br />
Theme: Children’s<br />
Storybook Characters<br />
Dates: Commencing Saturday <strong>April</strong> 17<br />
and ending on Sunday May 2<br />
Trail maps and Entry forms for $10 per group (cash only)<br />
available from the iHub or Four Square Supermarket.<br />
Proceeds from the sale of maps go to a local charity.<br />
Put the dates in your calendars for the school holidays<br />
in <strong>April</strong> and follow the Methven Scarecrow Trail<br />
Facebook Page for updates.

Acres of options<br />
This high-producing 86-hectare property in a sought after, picturesque location has it all. Fully irrigated with fertile<br />
soils, there’s a range of possibilities for the new owner. Suitable for various uses, the property is well equipped with<br />
sheep and cattle yards, plus a woolshed and implement shed. In use as dairy support and cropping, previously<br />
utilised to winter dairy cattle on fodder beet and kale. With this grazing history and the added benefit of cover under<br />
the Central plains water schemes nutrient umbrella, this property is well placed to continue dairy support. The sunfilled<br />
character house is tucked away amongst beautiful mature gardens and perfectly combines a warm and cosy<br />
retreat with a practical farming family home. Entertaining friends and family or dining outdoors to enjoy the<br />
spectacular views is a cinch with the welcoming open plan layout.<br />

NEW LISTING<br />
Sheffield Pig Saddle Road<br />
A solid asset<br />
Located only minutes from Springfield Village, nearby<br />
to ski-fields, lakes and mountains, this really is a<br />
wonderful place for a weekend retreat or an adjunct to<br />
an existing farming operation. Approximately<br />
127.1026 hectares (more or less), with a great mix of<br />
easier contoured lower paddocks, gullies suitable for<br />
trees or regenerating natives and some higher tussock<br />
country giving a great mix of altitude and aspect. This<br />
property would be a great complement to a flat block<br />
or a fantastic opportunity to own your own hunting<br />
block - there is certainly plenty of future upside here.<br />

Looking for a property?<br />
What really counts?<br />
You are in the market for a new<br />
property. You may have visited show<br />
homes and open homes becoming<br />
confused, overwhelmed or swept away<br />
with emotional factors like having<br />
everything new, or extra features such as<br />
three car garaging.<br />
To be happy with your choice, list the<br />
features that you need, considering:<br />
• Family space – Is there room for<br />
the children to play indoors and for<br />
television and entertainment units?<br />
Should this be open plan or separated?<br />
• Kitchen – What needs to be in your<br />
kitchen? Is it a whim or something<br />
that offers a practical solution to the<br />
way you use your kitchen?<br />
• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum<br />
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may translate<br />
to slightly lower building costs while<br />
extra space can be useful.<br />
• Garaging – A standard double garage<br />
once two cars are parked there offers<br />
little space for the toys. What toys<br />
do you have and could they live with<br />
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a<br />
cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />
• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer<br />
space for children, pets, hobbies, an<br />
expansive garden and perhaps a homerun<br />
business but they require work so<br />
are not for everyone and a compact<br />
section might be more sensible if a<br />
tight budget or busy lifestyle.<br />
• Bathrooms – Second bathrooms are<br />
great in homes with teenagers and a<br />
wet shower room is ideal for young<br />
children. A bath might be fashionable<br />
though is often not used and its<br />
absence could mean a more spacious<br />
bathroom.<br />
• Laundry – Would a laundry in the<br />
garage do the job?<br />
• Storage – How much storage do you<br />
need? Weigh up what can truly be<br />
stored in the garage once vehicles are<br />
in, a preference in winter. Garages<br />
vary in size so check the size to ensure<br />
your vehicles will fit. Look also at<br />
where else the house offers storage<br />
capacity such as in hall cupboards,<br />
a large hot water cylinder cupboard,<br />
wardrobes, walk-in robe, attic storage<br />
trusses, as well as the potential for<br />
hooks and shelving in the garage for<br />
bikes, tools, garden equipment and<br />
even kayaks.<br />
• Off-street parking – How many<br />
vehicles can be parked on the<br />
driveway? Will this space be sufficient?<br />
• Garden - Is there sufficient space<br />
for your children to play or for<br />
entertaining?<br />

No slow down of district’s economy<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’S economy has continued<br />
to grow in spite of the impacts of the<br />
global pandemic.<br />
The district remains one of the<br />
best-performing economies in the country,<br />
with the latest figures from economic<br />
analysts Infometrics showing 1.7 per<br />
cent growth last year, compared to a 2.6<br />
per cent drop nationally.<br />
This growth was<br />
reflected in consumer<br />
spending, which grew<br />
solidly, up 2.1 per cent<br />
in the year to December<br />
2020. nationally, spending<br />
fell by 3.2 per cent<br />
over the same time.<br />
Sam<br />
Broughton<br />
Unemployment in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> remained at<br />
almost half the national<br />
level, sitting at 2.6 per<br />
cent at the end of the year compared to<br />
4.6 per cent nationally.<br />
The Infometrics figures show <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
construction boom and the agriculture<br />
and food processing industry were big<br />
factors in the strength of the district’s<br />
economy.<br />
STRENGTH:<br />
Rolleston is a<br />
thriving hub<br />
of <strong>Selwyn</strong>,<br />
where<br />
economic<br />
growth<br />
continues<br />
in the<br />
worldwide<br />
pandemic.<br />

GEOFF<br />
SLOAN<br />
The number of houses sold<br />
in <strong>Selwyn</strong> last year was up<br />
by 31.2 per cent, while the<br />
Infometrics figures show 34<br />
per cent more residential<br />
building consent applications<br />
were filed with the<br />
district council.<br />
In 2020 the district council issued<br />
consents for 1530 individual houses and<br />
has continued receiving record numbers<br />
of building consent applications in the<br />
early months of <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Almost a quarter (23.2 per cent) of<br />
people employed in <strong>Selwyn</strong> work in<br />
agriculture and food processing, where<br />
returns have been steady and are likely<br />
to increase in the coming year with a<br />
higher dairy payout.<br />
The Infometrics figures underscore<br />
the region’s decade of strong growth –<br />
with <strong>Selwyn</strong> seeing the second largest<br />
economic growth of any district in the<br />
country over the past 10 years.<br />
mayor Sam Broughton said it had<br />
been good to see the economy and<br />
community remaining strong over the<br />
pandemic.<br />
“It was really heartening to see the<br />
way people in <strong>Selwyn</strong> pulled together to<br />
support each other in a tough year last<br />
year,” Broughton said.<br />
“we know we’re not through the full<br />
effects of that as a nation, and that there<br />
are sectors here in <strong>Selwyn</strong> that are still<br />
feeling the pinch. But it’s good to see<br />
much of our economy has remained<br />
strong, businesses are positive about the<br />
future and that we continue to support<br />
each other as a community.”<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Is your home as<br />
pretty as a picture?<br />
13<br />
Some people say they aren’t ‘art’ people<br />
because they don’t have expensive<br />
paintings on the wall. But if you think<br />
about it a little differently, art doesn’t<br />
have to hang on the wall, does it? Art is<br />
a learning experience and can take time.<br />
If you like hanging photos or posters,<br />
sculpture, pottery, paintings, drawings,<br />
sketches, ornaments (the list goes on)—<br />
it’s likely you really do appreciate art.<br />
And when it comes to your home you<br />
can follow a few simple tricks to show<br />
off what you’ve got, or plan for what you<br />
want.<br />
What kind of art and where?<br />
Lounge rooms are great spots to go<br />
large and be dramatic if you can, and<br />
don’t feel restricted to ‘paint on canvas’<br />
options. Art comes in many forms and<br />
you can play around with different layers<br />
until you’re happy with the overall feel of<br />
the space. Master bedrooms should give<br />
off more of a relaxed vibe—think nice soft<br />
tones or some landscape photography.<br />
And don’t forget the kitchen, it’s probably<br />
the one spot you can go for something a<br />
little silly or quirky, and it’s your chance to<br />
choose something a little smaller—so it<br />
won’t overwhelm the room.<br />
Put it where you’ll see it<br />
If you’re trying to style your home<br />
for sale, there’s no point putting your<br />
favourite art behind the bathroom<br />
door. And if you’re styling your home<br />
for yourself, make sure you can see it.<br />
Sit in all your favourite places and look<br />
for blank spots on walls and angles you<br />
mightn’t have noticed before. When you<br />
sit at the kitchen table, what spaces can<br />
you see through to the other end of the<br />
home? It’ll help pinpoint where you could<br />
add more personality.<br />
Tips from the professionals<br />
Katrina Ellis, Arts Administrator for<br />
the Malvern Community Arts Council<br />
(they run the Te Huanui Art Gallery)<br />
says, “new builds don’t have the same<br />
wall space as older houses, so we’re<br />
seeing a trend of people looking for<br />
smaller pieces. And younger people<br />
don’t necessarily have the budget to<br />
splurge on large, expensive art.” Their<br />
‘Tiny Treasures’ exhibition is a great<br />
opportunity to start or add to your<br />
collection, and features work<br />
from David Waterman, Ben<br />
Groters and Asako Ridgen<br />
(among many talented others)—<br />
it’s on now until 29 <strong>April</strong>. And there are<br />
at least three art galleries in <strong>Selwyn</strong> if you<br />
want to keep your love of art local and<br />
buy something unique, directly from the<br />
creator:<br />
• Te Huanui Gallery – 17 South Tce,<br />
Darfield (open Tues-Thurs 11am-2pm<br />
and Fri-Sun 10am-4pm).<br />
• The Lakeland Art Gallery – 80<br />
