Hector home 30 months 

after fireworks fright 

• By Susan Sandys 

ASHLEIGH ROSS can hardly 

believe she has finally been 

reunited with her beloved moggy, 

Hector, after he went missing twoand-a-half 

years ago. 

“He’s just so cuddly, it’s almost 

like he’s been trying to find us, 

he’s so glad to be home,” Ross 

said. 

Hector, the large green-eyed, 

long-haired, steel-grey cat, was 

returned to Ross and her family 

after a resident living about 6km 

away caught him in a cage last 

week. 

He had been missing since 

November 2018 when he took off 

from his home in Flemington, 

Lincoln, on Guy Fawkes night. 

Ross said she and her partner 

Sam had moved into their house 

five weeks earlier. They had 

planned to keep Hector inside for 

another three weeks before letting 

him outside, but he escaped when 

their young daughter opened a 

door. 

“And I think he may have got 

spooked with all the fireworks,” 

Ross said. 

Much anguished searching followed, 

as Ross walked surrounding 

streets as early as 5.30am and 

as late as midnight, shaking cat 

biscuits and calling his name.

Rezoning 

of land 

high on 

residents’ 

priorities 

SUBMISSIONS ON rezoning 

land from rural to residential are 

among the most received over the 

proposed District Plan. 

Indigenous biodiversity and 

ecosystems protection, flooding 

hazard areas and commercial 

activities in residential areas are 

also high on the list, the district 

council says. 

Other topics generating multiple 

submission points include 

the proposed changes to minor 

residential units (‘family flats’), 

noise standards, residential 

density controls and high vehicle 

trip-generating activities. 

A chance for affected people 

to have their say on changes 

requested to the district rule book 

opened this week. 

Submissions on the proposed 

District Plan numbered 470, 

covering about 7700 individual 

submission points. 

Of these, 62 per cent of submission 

points were fully or partially 

supportive of the proposed District 

Plan. 

The further submission period 

for the plan is open until 5pm 

Monday, May 3.

THERE’S BEEN a lot of 

behind the scenes toing and 

froing over netball during 

the past year. 

But as we reveal on page 

3 today, it has all come to 

fruition. 

Netball games this season 

will be split between the 

code’s traditional Lincoln 

venue and the new sports 

centre in Rolleston. 

There are 2000 registered 

netball players in Selwyn, 

a number which will grow 

quickly as the district’s 

population increases. 

Sports facilities throughout 

the district are going to come 

under increasing pressure so 

it makes sense to be able to 

spread fixtures. 

Hospitality outlets in 

Rolleston will no doubt be 

rubbing their hands with the 

changes; netballers and their 

supporters like to reflect on 

the matches post-game.

Netball charts watershed season 

• By Chris Barclay 

Andrea 

James 

THE SELWYN Netball Centre 

is busy coordinating a historic 

season, with two venues being 

used when the competition starts 

next month. 

For the 

first time the 

multi-grade 

schedule 

will play out 

on outdoor 

courts at Lincoln 

and the 

new $22 million 


Sports Centre 

indoor facility 

at Rolleston. 

Producing a fair and equitable 

draw for the estimated 2000 

registered players has proved a 

logistical challenge, although 

a formula has been devised to 

ensure clubs will spend the same 

amount of time at each facility. 

“We’d be one of the very, 

very few netball centres that are 

attempting to run their main 

competition in two venues,” said 

Selwyn Netball Centre president 

Andrea James. 

That presented one key issue, 

with a significant number of 

members playing, coaching and 

umpiring on the same day. 

SPLIT COMPETITION: Selwyn Netball Centre’s season will be played at the traditional 

venue in Lincoln and the new indoor facility in Rolleston. 

James said the draw had to 

ensure members did not have to 

travel between the two venues on 

game day. 

“To have them in different venues 

doesn’t work. It’s a shortish 

game, that’s why most netball 

centres are in one venue,” she 

said. “What we’re attempting 

to do is have four pools, and a 

club will have all of their teams 

within one pool in one venue.” 

James said two venues were 

necessary because current playing 

numbers and forecast increases 

meant neither the 12 courts at 

Lincoln nor the eight in Rolleston 

could host the games exclusively. 

“We’ve outgrown Lincoln. 

The council has just approved 

another 2000 building consents 

in Lincoln. Rolleston continues to 

explode so we’re not getting any 

smaller,” she said. 

In a significant change, the 

Premier 1 grade is indoor every 

week on a Thursday night. The 

remainder of the games are played 

on Saturday, with the Premier 

2 grade always being played 

indoors. 

Grading day is May 1 and the 

Premier 1 competition starts on 

May 13. The rest of the competition 

from year 1 to masters starts 

two days later. There are two 

rounds before the semi-finals and 

final. 

James was continuing to tinker 

with the draw this week and 

admitted there would be teething 

problems. 

“I’m sure it won’t all go smoothly. 

We’ve regularly consulted with 

our [17] clubs, they’re all on board 

with what we’re doing and understand 

it’s not an easy task we’re 

undertaking,” she said. 

A new community netball 

competition is also planned for 

Rolleston on Friday nights to take 

advantage of the new facility. 

“It’s focused on men, women, 

families ... it’s about having a fun 

game of netball,” James said.

Family never gave up 

hope of finding lost pet 

• From page 1 

Much anguished searching 

followed, as Ross walked 

surrounding streets as early as 

5.30am and as late as midnight, 

shaking cat biscuits and calling 

his name. 

“Because I just couldn’t sleep, 

he was my baby.” 

Ross never gave up hope, 

thinking if Hector was living 

in the wild he would be able to 

sustain himself as he had always 

been a good hunter. She thought 

maybe he was trying to make his 

way back to the family’s former 

home in Christchurch. 

Ross continued to post on 

Facebook pages intermittently 

to remind people Hector was 

missing, and had listed him on 

lostpet.co.nz. 

It was through the latter that 

the woman who caught Hector 

got in touch with Ross. She had 

trapped Hector after noticing 

him on her property eating cat 

food. 

Ross and her mother went with 

their cat cage to the woman’s 

house, near paddocks in the 

Ellesmere Rd area. 

Ross could not help but be 

sceptical that it would be her cat, 

but as she and her mother walked 

towards the covered cage, they 

heard Hector’s distinctive meow. 

‘I just couldn’t sleep, 

he was my baby.’ 

– Ashleigh Ross 

The woman then removed the 

cover from the cage. 

“And there he was, I couldn’t 

quite believe it,” Ross said. 

Now that Hector is back home 

it’s like he never left. He was 

smooching up to his old canine 

buddy Bear and feline buddies 

Jasper, Moses and Max, as well as 

getting to know his home’s new 

resident, Ross and Sam’s ninemonth-old 

son. 

Hector, now aged five, has 

a case of matted fur and cat 

conjunctivitis following his 

adventures, Ross said. But other 

than that, he was in top shape 

and it seemed he had not lost any 

weight. 


Miss Chevy’s vintage glam 

wows crowd at Miss Pinup NZ 

SHARVELLE Mackay of 

Rolleston has returned 

victorious from Miss Pinup New 

Zealand in Auckland. 

The long-time fan of all things 

vintage was named runner-up in 

the nationwide pageant held as 

part of Very Vintage Day Out. 

Mackay, with the stage name 

Miss Chevy Chevelle, channelled 

mid-20th century glamour for 

the event, which included sections 

such as day wear, beach 

wear, evening wear and talent. 

In the latter section, she sang 

the 1950s classic Stupid Cupid. 

The performance involved “some 

stage hiccups,” Mackay said. 

“Firstly my microphone wasn’t 

turned on so I had to start [my 

song] again. I had no foldback 

speakers so I couldn’t hear my 

music, and then my confetti cannon 

decided it wouldn’t go off, 

but once it finally did at the end 

of my act, the audience roared 

and cheered so loud,” she said. 

“It was such a fabulous moment, 

totally unforgettable.” 

She said she felt honoured 

and humbled to have placed as 

runner-up to Miss Sweet Jean, 

who was named Miss Pinup 

New Zealand 2021. 

“My highlight was definitely 

creating relationship with my 

fellow contestants. I was lucky

Turnout adds shine to club’s jubilee 

THE LINCOLN Golf Club 

celebrated its 75th jubilee in 

grand style at the weekend. 

Among the many attendees 

was Vern Clark, 98, who was club 

president in 1952 and 1955. Vern 

also had the honour of being the 

oldest to attend the celebrations. 

Organising committee chairman 

Ron 

McLaren said 

the jubilee teed 

off on Friday 

with a gettogether 

in the 

clubhouse of 

Vern 

Clark 

past and present 

members. 

“Presentations 

were made of 

the Tweedy Jubilee trophies that 

were donated by [the late] Errol 

Tweedy, a former life member 

and club patron at the time of the 

50th jubilee,” he said. 

Fay Wilcock and Bill Campbell 

were the respective winners of 

the trophies, for a one-round annual 

tournament. 

Said McLaren: “A selection 

of old photographs and club 

memorabilia was on display 

throughout the weekend. On 

Saturday morning club members 

convened for a photograph session 

before the cutting of the 75th 

jubilee cake. This was carried out 

by club patron Pam Hutchinson 

and Eileen Kortegast, a former 

ladies captain. Pam then unveiled 

a plaque commemorating the 

75th jubilee.” 

More than 70 members and 

guests took to the course for an 

American foursomes tournament. 

Norm Avis and Jean Dunlop 

won the mixed foursomes 

and Andy Alford and Trevor 

Sievers won the men’s pairs. 

“The celebrations continued 

on Saturday evening with a dinner 

and dance held at Lincoln 

University. On Sunday afternoon, 

the jubilee weekend concluded 

with another golf tournament, 

this time a Canadian foursomes 

event,” said McLaren. 

Scott Saunders and Molly 

Nedsopar won the mixed 

Canadian foursomes and the 

men’s pairs was won by Mike 

Payne and John Prendergast. The 

weekend was concluded with a 

vote of thanks to the members of 

the organising committee.

POPULAR: Coffee, bread and pastry are drawing the crowds at Ma 

Petite Bakery, in Rolleston. It is operated by Frenchman Thomas 

Holleaux (right). 

A taste of France in new Rolleston bakery 

BREAD AND pastry lovers are 

in French heaven after Thomas 

Holleaux opened the doors of 

Ma Petite Bakery in Rolleston, 

last week. 

In spite of the low-key 

opening, the croissants and 

baguettes went viral on social 

media as soon as Holleaux 

opened the doors, running out 

of stock within hours on the first 

Saturday. 

“People had warned me that 

Rolleston always supports new 

businesses, but I never expected 

this,” Holleaux said. 

He only slept a few hours so 

that he could double production 

for the Sunday, only to be 

swamped by an even larger 

crowd of patient, hungry 

customers. 

Holleaux is a graduate of 

the famous Ferrandi School of 

Culinary Arts in Paris where he 

served a five-year apprenticeship 

to become a bread and pastry 

artisan, before working with 

chefs in the two-star Michelin 

restaurant La Bastide de 

Capelongue, in Luberon. 

Holleaux’s appetite for baking 

and adventure eventually landed 

him in Wellington where he 

accepted an invitation to teach at 

a high-profile culinary academy. 

“A friend approached me, and 

I loved New Zealand. After a few 

years of teaching, I realised that 

my real passion is creating my 

own artisan bread and pastries 

and feeding a community, so 

I decided to open a business,” 

Holleaux said. 

The Frenchman fell in love 

with the South Island and 

identified the fast-growing 

Selwyn district with its multicultural 

population as a perfect 

market for his baking and 

opened Ma Petite Bakery on 

Tennyson St, Rolleston. 

“I have been in New Zealand 

quite a few years now, so have 

discovered the delights of Kiwi 

baking and I hope to create 

a product range with classic 

French baking, as well as adding 

some French flair to local Kiwi 

classics,” Holleaux said. 

This week Holleaux was 

urgently recruiting another 

pastry chef from his old 

Wellington school to feed 

mouths in Selwyn. 

The French artisan baker says 

he will soon increase the variety 

of breads and pastries to test 

local appetites. 

“In the first week, all the 

products we created just flew 

off the shelves, so we may have 

to roll new products out much 

sooner than I had planned.” 

“I have so many ideas, like 

creating a French version of 

carrot cake, which we don’t 

really have in France,” Holleaux 

said. 

Holleaux sources all his 

ingredients in Canterbury and 

will be supplying cafes and 

restaurants across the district 

as soon as he can increase 

production. 

One thing is for sure, anyone 

on a strict diet may want to give 

Ma Petite Bakery a wide berth, 

because Holleaux will be using 

plenty of butter in his baking.

Remembering those who made the 

THERE IS an adage in history 

that reads: ‘The past is a foreign 

place; they think differently there.’ 

This comes to mind when we 

reflect on Anzac Day and the 

sacrifices our ancestors made in 

fighting in defence of our nation’s 

interests, especially in the two 

world wars. 

In 2021 it is hard to imagine 

that the youth of today would 

willingly volunteer to serve 

overseas and risk losing their 

lives or sustaining serious injuries 

in a war they knew little about, 

fighting in foreign lands they had 

no interest in, and for a king or 

queen they had never met. 

Yet, that is exactly what many 

of the young men and women 

of this district did during World 

War 1 and 2. 

The reasons why they chose 

to do this are varied and some 

would seem strange to the youth 

of today. 

Some volunteered out of a sense 

of duty to defend the interests of 

the British Empire, while others 

were looking for adventure away 

from the mundane life on the 

farm. 

Others saw it as an opportunity 

to see the world, while many 

simply wanted to be with their 

mates. 

What is remarkable is that 

thousands of young New Zealand 

men and women still volunteered 

to serve overseas even after the 

Historian and district council staff member 

Wayne Stack continues his regular look at 

Selwyn’s past. Anyone with suggestions for 

future features can phone Wayne on 021 119

those serving in combat units, 

but this was generally met with 

a stoicism focusing on a sense of 

duty and shared sacrifice, typical 

of that time.

ultimate sacrifice for the Empire 

NEWS 9 

A local example of this attitude 

is in a letter from Trooper 

Frank Jarman of Greendale to his 

mother, sent while serving in the 

Canterbury Mounted Rifles at 

Gallipoli: 

I have had so many escapes of 

death lately that I thought I would 

write a few lines to be posted to 

you in the event of my being killed. 

There is a lot I would like to say 

but of course it can’t be expressed 

in writing. One thing is that I am 

very pleased that I came to give a 

hand in this great war. If it is my 

fate to be “Called Away” please 

don’t grieve for me, think of the 

sacrifices other parents are making. 

We can be assured that if “Dad” 

had been alive he would have been 

proud to have one of us come to do 

our share in upholding the Empire. 

Frank Jarman died of wounds 

sustained two months later during 

the famous attack on Chunuk 

Bair in August 1915 and one of 

his brothers, Nesslea, was later 

killed at the battle of Bapaume in 

France in 1918 while serving in 

the Canterbury Infantry Regiment. 

Of the three Jarman brothers 

who went to war from this 

district, only one returned. 

Another local family to suffer 

such tragedy was the Johnson 

family from Leeston. Charles and 

Beatrice Johnson saw two sons 

march off to war, never to return.

Contingent on Malta and fighting 

at Gallipoli. Having survived 

that campaign, he later died of 

wounds on the Western Front in 

France in August 1916. 

His younger brother, George, a 

labourer from Lakeside, volunteered 

and travelled overseas in 

September 1916 with the 17th 

Reinforcements to serve with the 

2nd Battalion, Canterbury Infantry 

Regiment. 

Having come through the 

battles of Messines and Passchendaele 

in 1917, George died of 

wounds he sustained during the 

New Zealand Division’s capture 

of Bapaume in August 1918, only 

a few months before the end of 

the war. 

A photograph taken of a group 

of ‘Ellesmere Lads’ during their 

time training at Trentham as 

part of the 18th Reinforcements 

remains poignant. 

Whether volunteers or conscripts, 

these young men are representative 

of a generation from 

our district who suffered greatly 

for their service to their country. 

Two of these 13 citizen soldiers 

were killed in action on the Western 

Front, Francis Redmond and 

George Harper, while the others 

would most likely have been 

wounded, exposed to sickness 

and disease, and suffered from the 

psychological effects of combat. 

Some never recovered. 

The sacrifice made by local 

families was shared across all social 

classes. Trooper Reg Birdling 

of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles 

was the descendent of one of the 

earliest local settler families who 

had a large estate at Birdlings Flat. 

As a 22-year-old with limited 

life experience, he had volunteered 

to serve overseas when the 

main body of the NZ Expeditionary 

Force was first formed at the 

outbreak of the Great War in 

August 1914. 

At this time, though apprehensive, 

his parents, along with Reg 

himself, would have had no idea 

of the scale of sacrifice families 

and countries would have had to 

make through experiencing the 

modern industrialised warfare of 

World War 1, never seen before, 

and again replicated in World 

War 2. 

Reg was killed during the battle 

of Chunuk Bair in August 1915 

and is buried at Gallipoli. His 

cousin, Lieutenant Arthur Birdling 

of the Canterbury Infantry Regiment, 

was killed the following year 

while leading his platoon at the 

battle of the Somme in France. 

War should not be glorified; it 

is destructive, futile and wastes 

lives. If there is any glory to be 

attributed from these two great 

conflicts, it belongs to the citizen 

soldiers and nurses who endured 

hardship, were courageous, and 

who shared sacrifice and suffering 

of wounds and death so that 

others may live in peace. Such 

service and sacrifice were seen as 

the price of citizenship by those 

generations. 

The Selwyn district is fortunate 

in having the only museum 

dedicated to commemorating the 

history and service of the citizen 

soldiers of the South Island. 

Based at Burnham Military 

Camp, it is currently open to the 

public, but by appointment only.

REFURBISHMENT OF the 

Springfield railway station has 

been completed. 

Simon Williams who 

worked with Rail Heritage and 

KiwiRail on the project said 

he is thrilled with the result. 

“The 

station is 

again proud. 

It now can 

honour all 

those railway 

people who 

have worked 


in Springfield 

over so many 

years. Of 

course now 

passengers getting on or off 

the TranzAlpine can see a 

station being cared for,” he 

said. 

The station refurb is done, 

the station is smiling, feeling 

proud and fit to honour the 

140 years of railway history in 

Springfield. 

“The painters have finished 

their work leaving the dozens 

of windows sparkling white 

or in a warm reddy brown 

colour. 

“The scheme follows the 

original design from 1966

The district council says 

this time is an opportunity for 

those affected, certain interested 

parties and the council to 

respond to an original submission 

or submission point. 

District council environmental 

and regulatory services 

manager, Tim Harris, said it 

has been good to see the way 

people have got behind the 

plan and taken an interest in 

PROUD: The Springfield Railway Station has been 

restored to its former glory. 

the way the rules will affect 

them and the district as a 

whole. 

“It’s a great milestone after 

years of hard work to have got 

here and to see the positive reaction 

from the public and the 

support that they have given 

the plan.” 

Further submissions can 

be made by a person with an 

interest greater than the public 

in general (for example if they 

own property that someone 

submitted to have rezoned), 

someone representing a public 

interest group, or the local 

authority itself. 

A summary of the submissions, 

along with the original 

submissions, can be found 

at www.selwyn.govt.nz/ 

districtplanreview. Supporting 

information on how to search 

the submissions and how to 

make a further submission is 

but the colours are more 

modern and fresh. The new 

transparent platform roofing 

lets in much more light than 

before. The builders repaired 

windows, stopped leaks, and 

replaced guttering. And of 

course the bee hives have 

gone.” 

Bees had nested in the 

building. 

Williams said there is still 

work to be done near the 

building, with the extensive 

white hand railings and kerbs 

needing painting. It’s hoped 

this can be achieved soon, but 

they are not part of the just 

completed contract. 

“But let us for now focus on 

the station building and the 

architecture which is now so 

much easier to appreciate.” 

Response ‘milestone after years of hard work’ 

also available. This information 

can also be viewed online 

at all the council libraries and 

service centres. 

The district council has also 

developed a submission map 

tool to help people find properties 

affected by submissions on 

rezoning, or other map-related 

changes.

SCHOOLS 

Students encouraged to 

step out of comfort zone 

ROLLESTON School 

is participating in 

an innovative youth 

development programme, 

the William Pike 

Challenge, which inspires 

youth to step outside of 

their comfort zone. 

William Pike, survivor 

of a Mt Ruapehu volcanic 

eruption and director of 

the William Pike Challenge 

launched the school’s 

William Pike Challenge 

programme. 

Pike spoke about his 

remarkable tale of survival 

and messages of inspiration 

to 200 pupils students 

and their parents. Pike 

shared numerous tales 

all centred around one 

theme: Stepping outside of 

your comfort zone. From 

learning to walk, setting 

big goals, climbing in Antarctica 

and more. 

The challenge is a wellbeing 

programme which is 

run in close to 100 schools 

around New Zealand. To 

complete the challenge, 

pupils are required to 

participate in five outdoor 

activities, 20 hours of 

community service and 20 

hours of passion projects 

over a school year. 

Pupils are given opportunities 

to step outside 

of their comfort zone, develop 

and strengthen 21stcentury 

skills and experience 

extraordinary things. 

Skills like resilience, 

confidence, connectedness, 

critical thinking, problem 

solving and leadership 

amongst peers and the 

wider community. 

Pike says the skills are essential 

for our youth to survive 

in tomorrow’s world. 

“It’s really exciting to 

have Rolleston students 

part of the programme 

this year. I’m really excited 

about the impact that 

Rolleston School students 

will have on their community 

as well as their own 

personal development by 

taking part in the WPC,” 

he said. 

“We’re in a point in

Pike addresses students at Rolleston School, 

encouraging them to take part in the William

Twenty-four hours after an eruption on Mt

right leg had been amputated below the knee 

and he faced a long rehabilitation. 

time where our world is 

fast-paced and changing. 

What works today, won’t 

work tomorrow. I believe 

our young people need to 

be equipped with the life 

skills and life experiences 

to prepare them for 

whatever life throws at 

them.” 

Pike knows first hand 

the importance of life skills 

and being able to step 

outside your comfort zone 

to face and overcome big 

challenges. 

He was one of two 

climbers caught in a 

volcanic eruption on the 

slopes of Mt Ruapehu in 

2007. 

He suffered numerous 

life threatening injuries, 

and as a result, his right 

leg was amputated 

below the knee, needing 

extensive recovery and 

rehabilitation.

HOW MARVEL HEALTH 

SCAN SCREENS THE BODY 

FOR THE CAUSES OF GUT 

SYMPTOMS AND DISEASES 

Gut and Digestive diseases can 

cause many different symptoms, 

including stomach pain, bloating, 

abdominal cramps and gas, diarrhoea, 

constipation, joint pain, skin problems 

and weight loss or gain. And gut 

diseases have many varied underlying 

causes. 

Food allergies and food additive 

sensitivities are a common cause of 

gut diseases. Intolerances to lactose in 

milk and gluten in wheat are some of 

the more common food intolerances. 

The Marvel Health Scan detects 

intolerances to over 250 different 

foods, food additives and chemicals. 

Microbes such as bacteria, fungi and parasites 

can cause gut diseases. 

The bacteria Helicobacter Pylori will cause 

stomach pain, nausea and stomach ulcers. 

E Coli causes gastroenteritis leading to 

diarrhoea, vomiting and stomach cramps. 

The Marvel Health Scan detects over 150 

harmful microbes. 

Adequate nutrient levels are crucial for a 

healthy gut, and nutrient deficiencies will 

cause gut problems. Zinc is essential for 

producing digestive enzymes, and magnesium 

prevents constipation. 

Marvel Health Scan checks for the deficiencies 

of dozens of essential nutrients. 

Marvel Health Scan performs a thorough 

and detailed examination of the body to 

determine the likely causes of gut diseases and 

symptoms. 


Some of the investigations performed 

during the scan are: 

• Examination of the digestive system 

and organs including stomach, intestines, 

pancreas, liver 

• Detection of Microbes - Bacteria, viruses 

and fungi 

• Detection of Food Allergens such as milk, 

wheat, nuts, cosmetics, household 

cleaning agents etc 

• Detection of Food Additives Sensitivities 

including food chemicals 

• Nutrient Deficiencies 

• Presumptive Diseases present and 

complications 

• Non-invasive blood test 

Our doctors and specialists study the reports 

from the scan and guide you in ways to 

support the healing of the body.

Winless Waihora still in rebuild mode 

• By Chris Barclay 

THE RETURN of Ashburton 

clubs from Covid-19 exile to 

the Luisetti Seeds Combined 

Division One rugby competition 

has so far been a negative for last 

year’s runners-up Waihora. 

The Tai Tapu-based club were 

undone in last year’s decider by 

a Southbridge team who had the 

luxury of enlisting Daniel Carter 

for the occasion. 

And now Mid Canterbury 

opponents bolstered by talent – 

often returning from overseas 

– have combined to condemn 

Waihora to a winless start in 

pool B of the rejigged three-pool 

format. 

Unbeaten Southern beat 

Waihora in the opening round 

and then Celtic celebrated a 

coveted 27-12 away victory at 

Rhodes Park on Saturday. 

“They’ve a few big ball runners 

that we’re struggling to contain 

at the moment. We’re looking 

forward to playing an Ellesmere 

team in a fortnight,” admitted 

Waihora coach Ross Soper. 

The first-year coach has also 

inherited a squad in rebuild 

mode. 

“We’ve lost quite a few players 

from last year. We’ve got some 

depth but I had five out of my 

starting pack for the weekend. 

Calling on retired guys to fill 

in on the bench is not ideal this 

early in the season.” 

Waihora lost 200-game veteran 

Mark Maitland to retirement, 

though stalwart Gareth Pietzner 

has been convinced to help ease 

a personnel shortage. 

“We’ve lost three Canterbury 

B players into town or retirement, 

which is a big kick in the 

guts but we’re working hard on 

getting everyone to gel and work 

together,” Soper said. 

That process continues during 

the bye week, with the campaign 

resuming against Lincoln on 

May 1. 

Celtic club captain Mark 

O’Grady said the team was glad 

to be back after Covid-19 limited 

Mid Canterbury sides to a fiveteam 

competition in 2020. 

“We’ve benefited because some 

of the young fellas that were 

overseas have relocated back 

home. To get a win at Waihora is 

a pretty big result for our side,” 

he said. 

Results: 

Pool A - Darfield 64 West Melton 

10; Hampstead 47 Hornby 0; 

Springston 47 Rakaia 10; Southbridge

Dianne and Chris Ward of the Prostate Cancer 

Support Group in Selwyn. 

A DIAGNOSIS of prostate cancer 

can be devastating news for the men 

involved and their families. 

One in eight men will get prostate 

cancer in their lifetimes and more 

than 3500 men are diagnosed each 

year in New Zealand. When caught 

early, the chances increase for more 

positive outcomes, and there certainly 

is a life beyond a diagnosis. 

Survivorship and maintaining a 

good quality of life is the theme for 

this year’s Prostate Cancer Foundation’s 

National Conference being held 

in Christchurch on May 2. 

Said Paul Hayes of PCFNZ: “Our 

national conference is one of the ways 

we provide education and support 

to men with prostate cancer and the 

people who support them. We are 

holding the conference in Christchurch 

this year as a commitment 

to our South Island supporters, after 

having to cancel the event last year 

due to Covid-19.” 

There is great line-up of expert 

speakers at this conference covering 

issues from the latest news in 

diagnosis and treatment, to ways for 

men and their families can live better 

with the outcomes of treatments and 

ongoing medications. 

Another way PCFNZ helps men, 

and their families is through a network 

of 40 Support Groups across 

the country, with four of these groups 

now well established in Canterbury. 

Chris Ward and his wife Dianne 

run a support group in Lincoln on 

the fourth Wednesday of the month 

that is well attended with over 60 

people on their books. 

Said Chris: “I am really looking 

forward to the conference this year 

as it gives me a fantastic opportunity 

to learn more about the latest 

development in prostate cancer, so I 

can share this with our group.” 

•PCFNZ invites anyone 

with an interest in prostate 

cancer to attend. For more

OUR PEOPLE – MARK SHAW 

Turf expert takes the green grass of home 

Volunteering to look 

after his club’s cricket 

pitch led to Mark 

Shaw venturing onto 

runways at some of the 

world’s busiest airports. 

Chris Barclay discovers 

the Lincoln-based turf 

expert certainly doesn’t 

have a job that is like 

watching grass grow 

You’re the Turf Business 

manager at PGG Wrightson 

Turf. How did you get involved 

with this growth industry? 

My father and four of his 

brothers worked at Pyne Gould 

and Guinness in the seeds 

business. I came straight from 

school and worked there for two 

years before I went to Australia 

for 18 months and cleaned 

windows on high-rises. I came 

back for a job at Mt Hutt, my 

goal was to travel around the 

world skiing but I fell off my 

skateboard on the Port Hills, cut 

my hand, missed the (ski) season 

and went back to PGG. I’ve never 

left. I head up the turf business 

for Oceania. That’s golf courses, 

sports fields, council’s amenity 

spaces. In a nutshell, anywhere 

they mow grass. 

How did you end up focusing 

on the turf aspect of the 

business? 

Sport. I didn’t really have an 

affiliation with farming. I was 

looking after a cricket wicket for 

the Addington Cricket Club. We 

moved into the senior A comp 

and we basically had to rebuild 

our pitch. Someone had to look 

after the wicket and the practice 

pitch. The previous turf manager 

(at PGGW) was actually the head 

groundsman at (Hamilton’s) 

Seddon Park, Ian McKendry. He 

helped me out. Macca cut his 

teeth at Lancaster Park under 

Russell Wyllie back in the day. 

When Ian came into the business 

as a turf agronomist and started 

the evaluation process you can 

see out here now … that’s what 

sparked my interest. 

How do you become an 

authority on turf? 

It’s an apprenticeship scheme, 

WELL GROUNDED: Turf expert Mark Shaw gets down to earth with a grid pattern of 

grasses at PGG Wrightson research centre in Lincoln.

similar to any trade. A three-year 

on job with a number of block 

courses you go through, as a 

builder would do. I completed 

my level 3 qualification while I 

was working at Barrington 

Park. 

At first glance this looks like 

a pretty laid back place to work. 

There’s a mini rugby field with 

posts and bucket seats from 

Lancaster Park, a putting green 

with a bunker full of golf balls. 

They’re there for demonstration 

purposes. This is the plant 

breeding and research centre. It 

covers grain, through to forage, 

through to brassicas, through 

to turf. In New Zealand there’s 

no genetic modification done 

in plant breeding so it’s a long 

process. It takes up to 10 years 

and about a million dollars to 

bring a cultivar to market. In any 

one year we’ll probably throw 

out a thousand candivars. 

No disrespect to leafy 

Barrington Park and its 

playground, but you get to go to 

a higher class of sporting venue 

these days don’t you? 

We’re very lucky that we get to 

visit some pretty amazing places 

on a daily basis. Eden Park to 

Kauri Cliffs to Forsyth Barr 

Stadium to Jack’s Point 

Golf club. You kind of take it 

granted. 

EXPORT 

QUALITY: Grass 

developed 

in Lincoln 

has been 

sown at the 

headquarters 

of Argentine 

football giant 

Boca Juniors in 

Buenos Aires. 

And even further afield? 

I’ve been to Thomond Park 

in Limerick and been reminded 

Munster beat the All Blacks (in 

1978). Ascot (home of racing’s 

Gold Cup) utilise our grass. 

I’ve also been to a number of 

stadiums in South America in 

recent years. Boca Juniors (La 

Bombonera) and River Plate 

(Estadio Monumental) and the 

San Isidro rugby club where the 

All Blacks train (in Argentina’s 

capital Buenos Aires), they all 

use our grass seed. A number 

of years ago on a trip back from 

Europe I visited The Royal Golf 

Club in Bahrain. Now we analyse 

their soil tests and provide them 

with a fertiliser and agrichemical 

programme. 

Golf is another major driver 

for the international market 

isn’t it? 

It certainly is, if you go any 

of the top clubs in the UK, they 

will be using our (cultivars of) 

browntops on their greens. 

Our plant breeders do a lot of 

work drawing material out of 

older New Zealand golf courses 

‘Famous for their roasts!’ 

that are managed with very 

low level inputs. These grasses 

basically evolve by themselves. 

We put them through a breeding 

process that can take 10 years 

before trialing them in the UK. 

We export between 60 and 

100 tonnes of browntop to that 

market every year. 

So what you’re saying is 

a sample taken from the 

nine-hole up the road at 

Lincoln could eventually undo 

the favourite at The Open 

Championship? 

Yes. Very, very easily. Our 

latest browntop is named 

after Sir Bob Charles. The 

genetics of that cultivar come 

from Balmacewen, Fairlie and 

Methven golf clubs. 

This sounds ridiculous, but 

explain the distinction between 

the 18th green at Royal Troon 

and a rugby field? 

There’s different growth habits. 

Forsyth Barr (in Dunedin) is 

a ryegrass, a bunch type plant 

that grows very actively in 

cooler conditions. As a species it 

requires high levels of nitrogen 

to keep the plant stimulated and 

growing actively. Browntop is a 

low nutrient requirement plant, 

it doesn’t require a lot of nitrogen 

to keep it healthy. Browntops can 

tolerate mowing heights down 

to 2-½ to 3mm. If you mow a 

ryegrass down to 2-½ to 3mm 

you will lose ground cover pretty 

quickly. Your stadium turf … 

that’s predominately a turf-type 

perennial that’s tighter and finer 

in the leaf than a forage type 

that’s grazed by cows. 

Heading back abroad, 

the company established a 

foothold in Uruguay about 15 

years ago and it’s not all about 

grass is it? 

When I first went over there 

they were marking soccer fields 

with a paint roller and 20 litre 

buckets of house paint. It was 

taking them three hours and 

you could imagine the quality of 

it. There were drips of paint all 

over the ground, footprints going 

through it. We took a battery 

powered machine over there and 

showed them how to mark a field 

in 20 minutes with a paint that’s 

safe for use on turf.

to the world’s stadium’s and airports 

Covid-19 has put trips to 

South America on hold, but 

you’re keen to get back there 

aren’t you? 

I have an affiliation with that 

market,when I first started going 

there it was very much like going 

back to turf management 30-40 

years ago in New Zealand. To be 

able to introduce something just 

as simple as a line marker and see 

how the market accepts that 

. . . each time I go they want 

more knowledge. 

Racking up air miles had 

been part and parcel of your 

role since a grass to deter birds 

fluttering onto flight paths was 

developed wasn’t it? 

Avanex grass seed has 

endophytes that can produce 

high levels of alkaloids. The 

alkaloids create an illness for 

the grazing animal. It’s no 

different from having a big night 

on gin, and never drinking gin 

again. You learn ‘that’s bad food, 

that makes me sick.’ Birds are 

pretty quick learners. The idea was 

to plant it in an airfield to create a 

safer environment for aircraft to 

land. 

The Miracle on the Hudson 

in 2009 – which spawned the 

movie Sully starring Tom 

Hanks – saw interest in Avanex 

take off didn’t it? 

Canada geese going through 

the engines of that flight brought 

the multi-billion dollar (bird 

control) industry to light. I 

travelled to a number of bird 

strike conferences around the 

world – not a great thing to do 

when all you’re seeing is horrific 

photos of bird damage on 

planes. I’ve met wildlife officers 

at La Guardia (where the Sully 

flight originated), JFK and San 

Francisco International. You’re 

right beside the planes when 

they’re taking off and landing. It’s 

a pretty weird feeling. 

Back to rugby. Loathe as 

we are to give Dunedin any 

credit, Forsyth Barr Stadium 

looks an absolute picture 

doesn’t it? 

It’s the first permanent roofed 

stadium with a living turf surface 

in the world, and it’s a success 

story. The scrums are stable, 

you’ll never see a divot on that 

ground. They plant the real grass 

in a sand profile and then stitch 

artificial fibres into that to give 

stability. The roots of the ryegrass 

lock around the fibres creating a 

very stable surface. 

The Christchurch Multi- 

Use Arena is on the drawing 

board, how should the turf be 

incorporated to that enclosed 

venue? 

A number of companies 

have looked at robotic 

removable turf systems, 

similar to what’s used at 

(English football club) 

Tottenham Hotspur. You can 

push a button there and within 

six hours that turf goes into a 

racking system like a vertical car 

park. Then you have a grey floor 

you could put an ice skating rink 

on. 

BIRD STRIKE: The downing of US Airways Flight 1549 

in New York’s Hudson River in 2009 benefited a turf 

innovation developed in Lincoln.

INDUSTRY:

marketed.

SLOAN 

This sounds pricey and 

unrealistic for a 30,000-capacity 

(max) stadium? 

There would be a massive cost 

with a robotic turf system, and 

the turf is always the last thing 

they’ll think about. If it was me 

you’d build your stadium so the 

turf system could be pushed out 

into the car park and rotated to 

follow the apex of the sun. That 

way every bit of the ground gets 

the same amount of sunlight 

on it throughout the day. I don’t 

believe we have got enough land 

on the site for that. 

You’re a one-eyed Cantabrian 

but is the grass really greener 

outside the four avenues or New 

Zealand as a whole? 

I might be a bit biased but I 

believe our stadium managers 

do a better job than anywhere in 

the world. I challenge anybody 

to find a better looking ground 

than Eden Park or FMG Stadium 

(Hamilton), that’s just an 

immaculate ground. You go to 

Forsyth Barr and you look at 

the turf quality any day of the 

week, it looks amazing. I know 

they may have more matches 

on grounds in Australia but the 

turf just doesn’t have that same 

x-factor. Marvel in Melbourne 

(the retractable roof stadium in 

Docklands) is probably one of the 

worst grounds in the world for 

getting actual sunlight onto the 

ground. I believe they have the 

most grow lights of any stadium 

in the world. They joke when they 

turn them on Melbourne’s CBD 

does a bit of a flicker because of 

the draw on the power. 

Winter is coming. You’re not 

a fan of artificial grass in the 

backyard but is there a place for 

it on Canterbury’s frost-bitten 

sporting landscape? 

I believe every school in New 

Zealand should have an artificial 

field that is World Rugby and 

FIFA approved. They could then 

lease that ground at night to local 

clubs for training and then both 

the club and school main fields 

are in much better condition for 

the players on a Saturday. 

Condition-wise, how does 

your lawn rate? Surely it 

resembles a carpet? 

We have a bit of a competition 

across the New Zealand (PGGW) 

team. I present the award so I’m 

not allowed to give it to myself. 

I’m actually doing a bit of work 

on my lawn at the moment. Mine 

is pure fine-fescue, it’ll be the 

same as the grass that you’ll see at 

(Queenstown’s) Jack’s Point Golf 

Course on their fairways. Pure 

fine-fescue is the finest leafed grass 

you can get. It is the lowest nutrient 

requirement grass and probably 

the slowest growing out of all the 

lawn options you have. The beauty 

of it is you can spray one chemical 

over it and selectively removes any 

other species of grass. It’s very easy 

to keep it pure but if you’ve got kids 

and dogs, you’ll probably want a 

perennial ryegrass that can handle 

the wear. 

When you’re at a mate’s 

place for a barbecue, do you 

automatically judge the lawn 

ahead of the chops? 

I do, and I can guarantee in the 

spring or the autumn a mate, or 

a mate of a mate, or someone at 

work will say ‘I’ve got a problem 

with the lawn, what do I do 

about this? And then you end 

up getting dragged into a whole 

lawn renovation and you’re 

round there with a rake in your 

hand.

Selwyn Sports Centre 

ready for big opening 

This way… 

Our map for the next 10 years 

We're highlighting eight big decisions we need your help with as 

part of the Long-Term Plan consultation. This week: future roading 

and transportation projects, and the future of the Leeston Library 

and Community Centre. 

BIG DECISION 5 

Future roading and transportation projects (2021–2031) 

Selwyn faces huge demand for roading and transport upgrades. 

We’re proposing a road improvement programme totalling $132 

million for 2021–2031, and a further $118 million programme for 

2031–2051. We are seeking feedback on options for the timing of 

this proposed work. 

Hundreds of hours of games, sports and fitness will take place at the Selwyn Sports Centre when it 

opens its doors in less than two weeks’ time. 

The sports centre at Foster Park in Rolleston and the Selwyn Aquatic Centre across the road will host 

a family fun afternoon from 12.30pm on Sunday 2 May for people to try out the centre, ahead of sports 

starting on Monday 3 May. 

Giant inflatables in the pool, bouncy castles, food stalls, pony rides and face painting will be available, 

Selwyn Sports Centre Manager Dave Tippett says. 

“We want people to come down and kick balls, shoot hoops, hit balls, try out our taster fitness classes, 

swim at the pool and have a really fun afternoon trying everything out.” 

The fun will start with Sir Richard Hadlee leading 75 children invited from local schools on a tour of 

the centre. 

The centre already has a busy schedule of sports waiting to hit the courts the next day, from netball, 

futsal, badminton, table tennis and basketball to floorball, baby gym and Phatsk8 roller skating, along 

with Council group fitness classes. 

"We’ve got over 225 hours’ worth of bookings for the first week. We're not at capacity, but we’ll be 

busy,” Mr Tippett says. 

The centre is set to host a number of regional and South Island tournaments, and a National Netball 

League game, and will be used by Rolleston College and local primary schools for classes and events. 

Courts will be kept free at least one evening a week for casual users, and to be able to respond to 

community needs with social sports events. 

Facilities include a New Zealand-first Taktile digital playwall, combining videogame technology and 

sport, which will be available for people to try at the open day and hire. 

The centre will house the Selwyn Sports House—a collaborative office space for community 

sports groups. 

The Council has also signed an agreement to offer Les Mills classes as part of its group fitness 

classes at all recreation centres, with the instructors you know and love who will provide routines and 

challenges for all ages and abilities. 

Further submissions open on Proposed District Plan 

People affected by the changes requested to Selwyn’s district ‘rule book’ have an opportunity to have a 

say from this week. 

Further submissions on the Proposed Selwyn District Plan are open until 5pm on Monday 3 May. 

This phase in the district plan review provides an opportunity for people affected by the plan, certain 

interested parties and the Council to respond to an original submission. 

A total of 470 submissions were received on the Proposed District Plan, covering around 7,700 

individual submission points. Topics attracting most attention included rezoning land from rural to 

residential, indigenous biodiversity and ecosystems protection, flooding hazard areas and commercial 

activities in residential areas. 

Other topics receiving multiple submissions include proposed changes to minor residential units (‘family 

flats’), noise standards, residential density controls and high vehicle trip-generating activities. 

Further submissions can be made by anyone with an interest greater than the public in general (for 

example, if they own property that someone submitted to have rezoned), someone representing a 

public interest group, or the local authority. 

A summary of the submissions, along with the original submissions, can be found at 

www.selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview. 

Mayor Sam goes live 

If you have any questions about the Long-Term Plan, Mayor Sam 

Broughton will be answering them in two Facebook Live sessions next 

week. The Mayor will be live on our Council Facebook page: 

· Wednesday 28 April, 12pm 

· Thursday 29 April, 7.30pm 

Post your questions now or on the day on our page at facebook.com/ 

SelwynDistrictCouncil. The submission period closes on Friday 30 April. 

Mayor Sam 

goes live! 

OUR PREFERRED OPTION 

Complete the capital works programme for the 2021–2031 period. 

This option allows us to work on more roading and intersection 

safety upgrades, which were identified as a community priority 

during earlier consultation. 

Cost $132 million over 10 years 

Impact on rates 

Rates would increase based on property’s value, as shown below: 

OTHER OPTION 

Capital value $ Annual rate impact of $72m 

550,000 113 

800,000 147 

10,000,000 1,385 

Vary the programme by starting some projects earlier 

or later. 

Costs and impact on rates would vary depending on the scale of 

projects and when they start. 

BIG DECISION 7 

Future of the Leeston Library and Community Centre 

(2022/23) 

In the Long-Term Plan 2018–2028 we proposed a new community 

centre at Leeston, scheduled for 2025/26. However, in 2019, an 

assessment showed the current Leeston Library/Service Centre 

is earthquake-prone. Following consultation we are proposing to 

build a combined community centre, library and service centre on 

Leeston Park in 2022/23. A new medical centre would be built as a 

standalone commercial development, with no impact on rates. 

OUR PREFERRED OPTION 

Build a new combined Leeston Library/Service Centre and 

Community Centre on Leeston Park. 

While this is a more expensive option it provides a community 

centre, which received strong community support during previous 

consultation. 

Cost $8.9 million 

Impact on rates 

$10 per year (already provided for within the Community Centres 

Targeted Rate); and $9 per year (already provided for within the 

Libraries Targeted Rate). 

OTHER OPTIONS 

· Upgrade the existing library/service centre building in 2022/23. 

Under this option we would address weather tightness and 

building code issues on the existing centre. This would not provide 

any additional community space. 

Cost, impact on rates and debt would be lower than for the 

preferred option. 

· Defer the project to outside the 10-year plan. Under this option

Notices 

FLUSH YOUR TAPS 

Some plumbing fittings have 

the potential to allow minute 

traces of metals to accumulate 

in water standing in the fittings 

for several hours. Although the 

health risk is small the Ministry 

of Health recommends that you 

flush a mugful of water from 

your drinking-water tap each 

morning before use to remove 

any metals that may have 

dissolved from the plumbing 

fittings. We are recommending 

this simple precaution for all 

households, including those 

on public and private water 

supplies. This notice is issued 

by Selwyn District Council on 

behalf of the Director-General of 

Health, Ministry of Health.

• By Joshua Smith 

MULTIPLE GROUP One 

winner Self Assured ended 

his season on a high with 

a hard fought victory in 

the Group Three Rangiora 

Classic on Sunday. 

The Rolleston-based 

Hayden Cullen-trained 

five-year-old found an 

early position in the oneone 

behind stablemate 

Spankem, before the pair 

pushed forward and driver 

Jonny Cox secured the lead 

with 1800m to go. 

Self Assured was left 

untouched up front until 

driver Tim Williams extricated 

Spankem out of the 

trail to apply pressure on 

his stablemate turning for 

home. Spankem steadily 

eked into Self Assured’s 

lead, but the latter was able 

to hold on to record a head 

victory, with a further 

five lengths back to Cranbourne 

in third. 

Cullen was pleased with 

the efforts of both of his 

runners and said Spankem 

showed a lot of heart down 

the home straight. 

“Spankem tried his 

absolute heart out but just 

fell short once again. You 

can’t take anything away 

from the other guy (Self 

Assured), he is a very good 

horse. 

“I think if it was a 

2000m race it might have 

been a different story, but 

over that distance Self Assured 

just loves it and he is 

very hard to get past.” 

His victory on Sunday 

brings the curtain down 

on what can only be described 

as a stellar season 

for Self Assured. 

The son of Bettor’s 

Delight won six of his 12 

starts this term, highlighted 

by his win in the 

Gr.1 New Zealand Trotting 

Cup last November. 

He came into Cullen’s 

care in January and placed 

in his first three starts 

before winning his next 

THUMBS UP: Trainer Hayden Cullen and driver 

Jonny Cox after Self Assured’s win in the 

Rangiora Classic on Sunday. Above: Self Assured

three on-end, including 

the Easter Cup earlier this 

month. 

While Self Assured 

is heading for a welldeserved 

break, Cullen is 

looking at pressing on with 

Spankem, with Australia 

a possible option now the 

two-way travel bubble has 

opened up across the Tasman. 

“I’m not 100 per cent 

sure with Spankem yet. 

We might have the 

Queensland carnival on 

the cards, but we are just 

playing it by ear at the moment. 

Over the next few 

weeks we will make plans 

on where we are going to 

go with him.” 

Spankem will likely be 

Cullen’s only runner heading 

across the Tasman, but 

he said he could be joined 

by Amazing Dream after 

the Harness Jewels in June. 

“Amazing Dream is 

racing here until the Jewels 

and then the owners are 

pretty keen to take her 

over there as well, but it 

won’t be under my name,” 

Cullen said. 

Meanwhile, Cullen 

celebrated a treble at 

Rangiora on Sunday after 

also recording victories 

with Franco Indie and 

Pace N Pride. 

Franco Indie won the 

Canterbury Print Services 

Mobile Pace (2000m) by 

two lengths. It was the 

two-year-old gelding’s first 

raceday run and Cullen 

said he will now head to 

the spelling paddock to 

strengthen for his threeyear-old 

season. 

“Franco Indie is a lovely 

horse,” Cullen said. “He 

is going to go out for a 

break now, he has done a 

great job. He is a big horse 

and he is still quite weak. 

I think a three-year-old is 

his future. 

“He will go out now and 

hopefully get ready for the 

Sires’ Stakes in November.” 

Cullen was also pleased 

with the winning efforts 

of Pace N Pride in the 

Kotare Downs Rangiora 

3YO Stakes (2000m) after 

his unplaced run in the 

Gr.1 New Zealand Pacing 

Derby (2600m) a week 

prior. 

“Pace N Pride didn’t 

get much of a run in the 

Derby,” Cullen said. “He 

did look the class horse in 

the field (on Sunday). 

“He is a nice horse 

and he will keep ticking 

away until the Jewels, 

that’s about all there is for 

him.”

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of the single tap of the 

drum of the parade; the emotionless faces of the catafalque guard, and the mournful 

notes of Last Post sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep 

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes to its powerful impact 

upon participants; indeed what underlies its popularity. In a country with few public 

rituals, the Dawn Service continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful 

ritual of remembrance.” rsa.org.nz 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 

by communities throughout New Zealand and 

Australia to remember those who have served 

and those who lost their lives in war. The term 

Anzac is the acronym for Australian and New 

Zealand Army Corps, and was first used in 

World War 1. These groups of soldiers back 

then were known as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one 

or more ceremonies – one at dawn (timed to 

coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli 

by Australian troops who were the first 

ashore) and/or one later in the morning. The 

ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally 

begin with a parade of returned servicemen 

and military personnel followed by cadets, 

youth groups and local dignitaries. War 

veterans, proudly sporting their medals lead 

the parade, which leads to a local cenotaph or 

memorial gate where the ceremony includes 

a service with hymns, laying of wreaths, 

dedications, prayers and the Last Post played 

on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows 

people to share memories and catch up with 

friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen 

in 1916 to mark the anniversary of New 

Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the 

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a 

‘They shall grow not old, as 

we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, 

nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the 

sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.’ 

day where all New Zealanders and Australians 

took time to remember the men and women 

who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac 

Day became an official holiday and by 1922 it 

was declared a full public holiday where shops, 

banks and hotels remained closed for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of 

remembrance and hope all over the world 

and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice 

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy 

is commonly worn on Anzac Day. The first 

Poppy Day appeal was on April 

24 in 1922, where funds 

from the sales of small 

and large silk poppies 

helped relieve suffering 

in war-ravaged 

northern France. 

A paper version of 

the poppy is now 

sold by the Royal New 

Zealand Returned Services 

Association on Poppy 

Day to raise awareness 

for Anzac Day and funds 

for returned soldiers and 

their families and local 

communities. 

ANZAC Apple Crumble 

Make a batch of Anzac biscuits – use your favourite 

recipe or search online for a delicious new one to 

try (or purchase RSA Anzac biscuits at your local 

supermarket, where a small percentage goes to the 

RNZRSA). 

Allow baked biscuits to cool while you peel and 

slice several apples. Cook sliced apples until soft 

and then place in an oven proof dish. 

Crumble the Anzac biscuits and spread the 

crumble mix evenly over the cooked apples. 

Place in hot oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated 

through (remember to keep watch so the crumble 

doesn’t burn). Serve with dollops of whipped cream 

or yoghurt. Enjoy!

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Big drinking water choices loom 

Drinking water is a standout “Big 

Question” in Selwyn’s Long Term Plan (LTP) 

consultation. 

Among eight major issues for the 

community, SDC’s “Big Question No.2” is 

treatment plans and standards for drinking 

water. 

SDC is responsible for providing a safe and 

reliable drinking water supply, managing 

27 water supplies servicing about 80% of 

residential properties within the district, or 

20,000 households. 

Selwyn residents made it clear in earlier LTP 

consultation that safe drinking water was a 

high priority. All SDC supplies had Water 

Safety Plans detailing how the council ensured 

a safe drinking water supply. Canterbury 

District Health Board was in the process of 

reviewing these plans. 

SDC said residents needed to be aware that 

government was proposing new legislation 

for drinking water. “The Government’s review 

of national drinking water standards may 

require us to chlorinate all water supplies. We 

are currently working with the Canterbury 

District Health Board and the Government 

to prepare for these changes,” the council said 

at https://yoursay.selwyn.govt.nz/keepingdrinking-water-safe. 

Meantime chlorination was widely 

throughout the country used to prevent 

contamination, with 80% of the population 

currently supplied 

with chlorinated 

water. SDC already 

permanently 

chlorinated nine 

water supplies: 

Acheron, Castle 

Hill, Dalethorpe, 

Hororata, Hartley’s 

Road, Sheffield/ 

Waddington, 

Springfield, 

Arthur’s Pass and 

Upper Selwyn 

Huts. 

Other treatment 

methods used 

to keep water 

safe include 

secure ground 

water, ultraviolet 

disinfection, selective abstraction and 

filtration. “We will continue to make 

significant investment in upgrading our 

water treatment infrastructure,” SDC said. 

Residents were invited to express a view on 

two options: Support the proposal for the 

council to continue its current approach to 

maintaining safe drinking water supplies, to 

meet community expectations and comply 

with regulations (this is SDC’s preferred 

option). 

“Option 1 means we will only chlorinate 

remaining non-chlorinated water supplies 

if our risk assessment or regulation require 

us to do so. We would maintain the current 

infrastructure to ensure that water supplies 

meet national water quality standards. 

However, as standards and requirements 

change, we cannot commit to increased 

spending to remain chlorine-free.” 

Option 2 was to ask SDC to upgrade some 

supplies to avoid chlorination. “Option 2 

means we would need to improve some of 

our water infrastructure to ensure we can 

meet national water quality standards without 

relying on chlorine treatment. This approach 

is taken in countries like Holland, Switzerland, 

Germany, Austria and Denmark.” 

However, even with more investment 

there’s still a possibility that we would be 

required to chlorinate, to meet the regulatory 

requirements set by the Government’s new 

water services regulatory body. Residents 

could also signal ‘no preference’ if they 

wished. 

Consultation on the LPT 2021-2031 is open 

from Monday 29 March to Friday 30 April.

Fruit trees 

popular choice 

Now is the perfect time to visit Southern Woods 

Nursery to select from their great range of fruit trees 

including apples, pears and apricots. Moving towards 

the cooler months Autumn is a great time for planting 

deciduous specimen trees as soil moisture increases the 

trees approach dormancy. 

Located at the 1002 Robinsons Road between 

Templeton and Rolleston and easily accessible with 

plenty of parking, the team at Southern Woods has 

noticed an increase in the popularity of fruit trees 

post lockdown. They have a great autumn selection 

with plenty more varieties available in winter and are 

encouraging customers to pre-order online for winter to 

avoid disappointment. 

“People are wanting to be more self-sufficient and 

many fruit trees make attractive specimens too – you 

get the best of both worlds,” says Southern Woods 

Business Development Manager Rico Mannall. 

Most fruit trees enjoy the free draining soils of 

the plains but need a good layer of mulch before 

planting and it is also preferable to also have irrigation, 

particular for Canterbury summers. 

“It is also important to stake the trees well and space 

them out accordingly. I also recommend removing the 

fruit for the first couple of years which means that the 

energy is going towards a nice form and structure to the 

tree.” 

Southern Woods’ team of 40 dedicated staff is on 

hand to help, happy to provide free advice based 

on their many years in the business and 

knowledge of which plants would suit your 

property’s location, soil type and aspect the 

best. 

Along with the plants, there is also 

a selection of premium tools, planting 

accessories and disease control products. 

Pre-book your fruit trees now to make the 

most of the selection they will have available 

for winter at www.southernwoods.co.nz or 

phone them on 0800 800 352. 

Established in 1987, Southern 

Woods has been growing millions of 

quality plants for over a generation. 

Talk to our knowledgeable team 

about fruit trees for your next 

project.

Extending the 

life of your 

spouting 

Birds nesting in your home’s spouting is not only 

be a noise issue but the eggs and young chicks can 

also attract vermin which can then get inside roof 

cavities and chew through wiring creating a fire 

hazard within your home. 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard is an effective way of 

preventing birds from making nests in the spouting 

and soiling walls and windows with their droppings. 

The guards can also protect tank water from being 

contaminated, ensuring the safety and quality of the 

water supply. 

Another key advantage of Gumleaf Gutter Guard 

is that it prevents leaf litter from gathering in the 

spouting. 

“Leaf litter remains damp and acidic and that 

wrecks the spouting,” says owner Rohan. 

“By having Gumleaf Gutter Guard installed, the 

life of the spouting is extended to the life of the roof.” 

Snow can also damage spouting, and again 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard will protect the spouting by 

spreading the load, Rohan says. 

Developed in Australia more than 20 years ago, 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard has been providing a quality 

and effective solution in New Zealand for the last 

decade, Rohan says. Much of his work comes from 

repeat business, with customers happy with both the 

product quality and the service he provides. 

Customers requesting a quote will receive it within 

24 hours, and Rohan says he will “go anywhere to 

provide a quote”. 

He is also available Monday to Saturday to speak 

to customers who call him. 

“Even if I am working on a job, I will talk to 

anyone who calls me,” he says. 

Once a quote is accepted, the job is started within 

10 days, with installation on an average sized 

house taking one to two days. Rohan also does any 

necessary minor repair jobs on the roof at the same 

time. 

To discuss your requirements with Gumleaf 

Gutter Guard, phone 0800 486 532, or email 

rohan@gumleaf.co.nz. 

Gutter Guard 

is made from 

expanded 

steel mesh and 

can be colour 

matched to the 

roof. 

STOP leaveS 

birds, snow, hail & vermin from 

blocking up your spouting 

Quality materials: BHP Colorbond steel mesh with unique patented louvre

Useful tips for 

your new garden 

power tools 

On the look-out for some new power tools 

to help you keep your garden looking tidy 

and under control? Before you hit the shops, 

have a think about what would suit your 

needs the best, whether you are an occasional 

gardener, have a massive project on the 

go or a large property that needs regular 

maintenance. 

Durability, reliability and, most of all, safety 

are all important features. A good quality 

brand will provide more safety mechanisms 

than are required so have a look at what the 

different models have as a comparison. 

Purchasing a popular brand, however, 

does not necessarily guarantee all these 

qualities so do some research before going 

to the store. Buyer reviews are often a good 

start. 

Then there is the choice of cord or 

cordless? The corded versions are usually 

more powerful and have a constant power 

source but their use is restricted by the length 

of the cord. 

Cordless models are not as powerful 

but make up for it in flexibility and, if you 

purchase the same brand of power tools, 

it means that you may only need the one 

battery. 

Thinking about budget, the true cost 

of buying a power tool often goes beyond 

just the sales price. Depending on the tool 

being purchased, extra accessories and other 

essentials, like blades, belts, bits and other 

items, may need to be purchased. 

Find out what is included with the power 

tool and consider the cost of any extras that 

may need to be purchased. Factor these 

additional costs into the overall cost of the 

tool to make sure it still fits within your 

budget. 

Next up think about what you need in 

terms the size of your garden. Are there 

lots of large trees or hedges that need to be 

regularly trimmed? Is the weight of the tool 

important so all the family can use them? 

Armed with all this information, it is then 

time to visit the store. If you still have some 

questions, there is always someone around 

who has additional expertise to provide 

helpful advice.

Cult car also one of the best off-road 

THERE HAVE been plenty of 

cars over the years that have 

developed a cult following – some 

that are simply alluring through 

their design or shape. 

Suzuki’s Jimny is one of those 

cars, I’ve seen a lot on our roads 

and, judging by the tidy look 

of most of them, they’ve never 

utilised the functions that make it 

one of the best off-road vehicles 

in the market. 

The popular Jimny has 

been around for years and the 

technology underneath hasn’t 

changed, but it now has a new 

body shell, it is upright, squareedged 

and somewhat blunt. That 

may sound like a design disaster, 

but it’s not, the shape works well 

and, as I’ve alluded to, it is finding 

favour with a wide cross-section 

of the market. 

My son likens the new Jimny to 

a small Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon; 

and it is small, the Jimny is under 

3.5m and is extremely compact, it 

is short and narrow and has just 

three doors. It’s just a four-seater 

only, if you want to carry luggage 

you’d need to treat the Jimny as a 

two-seater because the rear seats 

would need to be folded forward 

to carry a suitcase or two. 

That aside, the mini-SUV 

Jimny has style and purpose, 

and its function is to take you 

places that normal sport utility 

vehicles wouldn’t be able to go. To 

make this possible it has a ladder 

chassis and driver-selectable fourwheel-drive 

with genuine low 

ratio gearing. A short wheelbase 

and high ground clearance 

(195mm) means it is the perfect 

off-roader if you are prepared to 

sacrifice a few luxuries that make 

the SUVs of today the vehicle of 

choice for many. 

However, if you add in the 

positives such as economy and 

off-road performance, it doesn’t 

surprise me that it has been 

capturing a wide cross-section of 

buyers since it was first marketed 

in 1968, the concept and 

mechanical design is pretty much 

unchanged. 

The Jimny is also a value-formoney 

model. It lists at $26,990 

for a JX manual. The evaluation 

car was what Suzuki label Sierra, 

it gets a few extra goodies such as 

touch screen, satellite navigation 

and Apple Car Play and Android 

Auto connectivity. The Sierra 

sits at $29,990, with automatic 

transmission adding $1000, twotone 

paints also adds an extra 

$510. 

Other features across the 

range include central locking, 

single-zone air conditioning, 

power windows, comprehensive 

air bag system, traction control, 

hill descent control and cruise 

control. Many of these are 

described as safety systems that

GARDENING 


Plant fruit trees now 

for healthy food later 

NOW IS a good time to get those 

fruit trees planted. 

Here are some tips: 

• Dig a hole that is slightly deeper 

than the root depth and which 

allows for 20cm clearance around 

the roots. 

• Mix some compost with the soil 

in the base of the hole, then place 

the tree and slow release fertiliser 

in the hole so that the graft is 

above soil level. 

• Create a small mound at the 

base of the hole and spread the 

roots out carefully. 

• Before back filling, position tree 

stakes. Partly back fill and firmly 

compact. 

• Continue back filling and compact 

once or twice more. 

• Water well. 

• Stake securely to ensure root 

zone can’t move on windy days. 

Bare rooted trees bought must 

not be left for roots to dry. 

• Plunge in water prior to planting 

to ensure the roots are moist 

prior to planting. 

CLEARANCE: It takes a bit of skill to plant a fruit tree, 

make sure it is well supported when you put it in the soil. 

Time for maintenance 

THE GARDEN has gone quiet 

with the onset of autumn, but 

now is the time to prepare for 

winter and spring. 

Things to do in the next few 

weeks. 

Tree and hedge trimming 

Check around the house for 

trees or hedges that are getting 

close to walls, gutters or the roof. 

Look for old branches that 

may be vulnerable to the first big 

storms: book an arborist to trim 

and shape big trees. It is too early 

to start pruning but dead head 

flowering shrubs, pick fruit that is 

past ripening, start raking leaves. 

Trim back plants that are 

overhanging pathways, doors 

or entrances as there is nothing 

worse than wet leaves in your face 

on a dark winter’s night. 

Get scrubbing 

This has hardly been the summer 

for moss and mould, but 

check and scrub potential damp 

UNSIGHTLY:

and Forget or

furniture before 

winter sets in. 

spots that may get slippery in the 

first rains. 

Scrub or bleach the garden 

furniture while there is still good 

sunshine to dry it so it won’t go 

mouldy in winter. 

A time to plant 

It is far too early to plant fruit 

trees or roses, even shrubs prefer 

planting in winter. 

But if you are itching to get 

started, some citrus trees suit autumn 

planting and you can always 

start modifying your soil (or clay) 

with composts and loams ready 

for the new inhabitants. 

Bulbs 

If you kick yourself every 

August or September when the 

spring flowers come out and you 

haven’t got any, get planting. 

Daffodils, freesias, jonquils, 

anemones and ranunculas can all 

go in now. Start a few in pots to 

delight friends whose birthdays 

fall in spring.

Volunteer 

Co-ordinator 

Vacancy 

A central person in the day-to-day operation of the 

Selwyn Central Community Care Trust is the volunteer 

co-ordinator. This is the person who co-ordinates 

the 30-odd volunteer drivers and makes sure that 

everybody who ask the Trust for help gets it when and 

where they want it. 

The co-ordinator’s job is also 

voluntary. 

There are many elderly or 

frail people in the Rolleston- 

West Melton area who are 

unable to drive or who are 

not confident to drive far 

for appointments. The Trust 

solves that problem by 

driving them to where they 

need to go. We even have 

a van who can take people 

who use wheelchairs. 

The co-ordinator needs experience in office work and 

needs to be conversant with Word and Excel, and be 

able to use Google Calendar to track bookings. 

A cell phone and printer come with the position, 

although many of our elderly people prefer to use a 

landline. 

The Trust reimburses the co-ordinator for any costs 

incurred. 

If you are interested in 

learning more, contact

Who can make a further submission? 

The following persons may make a further submission: 

· A person who has an interest greater than the public in general. 

· A person representing a relevant aspect of the public interest.

Further submissions can be made by using one of the following options: 

· Complete an online submission form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/dprsubmission.

Written further submissions must be submitted on the Council submission form, or on Form 6 of the Resource Management Act

A further submission period will run for 10 working days from Monday 19 April 2021. 

The closing date for further submissions is 5pm on Monday 3 May 2021. 

Any person who lodges a further submission with Council must, within five working days of doing so, serve a copy of the further 

submission on the person(s) who made the original submission(s). 

What happens next? 

After the further submissions period closes: 

· When we have received all further submissions, we will consider all the submissions in detail and produce a series of Officer 

Reports with recommendations regarding the submission points made. 

· If requested by any submitter, we will hold a public hearing on the submissions received. At these hearings a panel of accredited 

commissioners will consider all submissions, Officer Report recommendations and any supporting evidence. 

· Following the hearing we will give notice of our decision on the Proposed District Plan (and matters raised in submissions, 

including our reasons for accepting or rejecting submissions). 

· Every submitter then has the right to appeal the decision on the Proposed District Plan to the Environment Court.

What a wee gem! 

Set within an easy walk to the handy Rolleston amenities and doctors, 

you'll find this delightful 1980's gem. Recently, the home has had a 

bit of a facelift, with an updated kitchen and cooking appliances, new 

vinyl flooring which connects the open plan living and dining, plus new 

carpets throughout. With double-glazing booked and paid for and to 

be installed in the next couple of weeks, it will complement the heat 

pump and hypervent system which will keep the home warm and dry 

in the upcoming winter months. The open plan extends through the 

living room to the large conservatory with deck, meaning you can truly 

take advantage of the sun year-round for great indoor-outdoor living.

Decorating trends for 2021 

Colour and decorating trends for 2021 feature a s some 

extremes for decorating from cool and calm to sharp and 

sophisticated. 

If you would like to adopt an optimistic mood in your 

home, look to rich warm colours, bold patterns, shapes 

and textures. Yellows, oranges and reds do the job like no 

other when it comes to bringing cheeriness and energy 

to enliven and invigorate a space. 

Another alternative is an easy breezy look which fits 

beautifully in a seaside bach but also as a casual and 

comfortable vibe at home. Beach colours that evoke 

the sea, sky, sand and surrounding scenery to create a 

soothing space. This sort of colour scheme is not only 

easy on the eyes, it can also be easily adapted to warmer 

and cooler weather. 

Pair these hues with blonde timbers, 

natural rattan, seagrass baskets and linen 

in the warmer months and heavily 

textured woven throws and rugs when 

the cooler weather sets in. 

Changing times require changing 

measures. With the popularity of 

cool greys slowing, colour palettes 

are showing signs of warming up. 

Beige and taupe are becoming the 

‘new’ go-to neutrals offering dreamy 

elegance. The retro obsession of 

recent years has helped quietly sneak in 

pops of brown décor, but now that we’re 

in the new decade, it seems we’ve reached 

a tipping point for chocolate hues to make a 

bigger splash. 

One reason why brown is on the rise may stem from 

a desire to shift away from the pinker and redder 

palettes that have been pervasive. Warm terracotta 

and golden beiges are maturing, and browner tones 

have begun to come forward as a natural progression 

of those hues. The overall demand for increased 

sustainability and our growing need to feel more 

connected to nature, also makes brown a logical 

candidate for decorating. 

Don’t forget your home’s exterior as a way to make 

an impact, including pops of colour adding refreshing 

curb appeal among oceans of neutral weatherboards. 

Whether it is a section of creatively-coloured cladding, 

a front door in an eye-catching hue or a collection of 

freshly painted pots lining your front walkway, it often 

doesn’t take much to make your home a standout. 

When it comes to outside, there is no hotter choice 

than black for fences and weatherboards and choose 

a paint that means you can see more of your timber’s 

grain and get an appealing rustic country barn 

aesthetic.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Come home and 

go ‘Ahhhhh’ 

Thanks to COVID, more people are 

working from home with businesses 

accepting it’s an entirely plausible way 

forward. But with the increase of time 

spent at home comes the realisation that 

what we want, is an oasis of calm to help 

separate ‘work’ from ‘home’. If you’re 

lucky enough to have a home with ample 

space and a little cash to burn, you might 

consider some ways of catering for a little 

more relaxation and comfort to help 

provide relief when you need it. 

Swimming pools 

Those hot summer days get much easier 

to handle if you and the family can splash 

around. Pools are also great for fitness, 

keeping the kids busy or just floating 

around reading a good book. Be sure to 

do your homework across all the pool 

companies to ensure you’re getting the 

right pool for your property. You’ll also 

need to consider maintenance and how 

that will fit into your routine. Pools may 

also add value to your property (if you’re 

considering a future sale). 

Spa pools and saunas 

Whether you have a physical job that 

ends in sore muscles or strained joints, 

or you’re staring at a laptop or device all 

day, a spa pool or a sauna is a fabulous 

way to revitalise and relax at the end of 

each day. It’s also a lovely chilled out way 

of starting your weekend mornings! Both 

options are fairly easy to look after with 

minimal maintenance and easy chemical 

checks (for spas), and you can use them 

year-round. Throw on some Bluetooth 

headphones and a view of the telly—the 

rugby has never looked better! 

Gyms 

If you’re a gym junkie that struggles 

to make it to your local gym, having 

a setup that works at home might be 

just what you need. You can work 

out on your own schedule, not worry 

about membership fees (though you 

will have the initial purchase cost of 

equipment). It’s also a great way to live 

healthy, blow off steam and keep to a 

good work/life balance. 

Media rooms 

With a multitude of streaming and 

entertainment options available, it’s 

never been easier to kick off your 

shoes and get stuck into your favourite 

programs. Comedy, true crime, a live 

concert or premier movies—why not 

amplify your experience? Media rooms 

are technology-led, so you’ll be needing a 

large screen, a good quality sound system, 

stereo equipment and gaming consoles, 

good block-out blinds, comfy electric 

recliners or armchairs, and a minibar. 

And, of course, call your local sparky to 

make sure it’s all wired in safely.

Located only minutes from Springfield Village, nearby 

to ski-fields, lakes and mountains, this really is a 

wonderful place for a weekend retreat or an adjunct to 

an existing farming operation. Approximately 

127.1026 hectares (more or less), with a great mix of 

easier contoured lower paddocks, gullies suitable for 

trees or regenerating natives and some higher tussock 

country giving a great mix of altitude and aspect. This

or a fantastic opportunity to own your own hunting 

block - there is certainly plenty of future upside here.
