HAWKINS RIVER RESCUE 

‘We really thought it was 

the end for the poor bugger’ 

• By Susan Sandys 

A DARFIELD farmer has 

spoken of watching a man leap into 

the flooded Hawkins River to try and 

save himself after a helicopter winch 

rescue operation failed. 

Rod May had taken his tractor to 

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and 

reach the middle-aged man who had 

been clinging to the branches of a tree 

in the rising waters on Sunday night. 

The man had driven into the 

flooded river, escaped from his car 

and called emergency services from 

his cellphone which he managed to 

keep with him. 

Ultimately, a second helicopter 

winch operation plucked the man 

to safety after he was swept downstream. 

It was a happy ending to the 

ordeal which had lasted more than 

three hours. The rescue was among 

several in Canterbury on Sunday in 

flooded rivers. 

May said he and his family had just 

had dinner when a neighbour alerted 

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw 

the floodwaters were too high for the 

tractor, however, he used its lights for 

illuminating the site where the man 

was. • Turn to page 5 

LUCKY: The scene of the rescue on Sunday night, where emergency personnel encountered rapidly rising waters as 

they tried to rescue a man trapped in a tree in a swollen river near Darfield. Inset: Farmer Rod May illuminated the 

scene with his tractor.

HARD WORK has paid off 

for young cyclist Henrietta 

Christie (see page 13). 

The 19-year-old, who went 

to Lincoln High School 

and rides for the Leeston 

Cycling Club, has secured a 

professional contract with 

Italian-based club Bepink. 

She will be competing 

against the best on the 

women’s world road racing 

tour, and that is no mean feat. 

But getting to that level 

doesn’t come easy. It takes 

years of training, sacrifice, 

a massive desire to win and 

support from those close to 

the athlete. 

Her coach Elyse Fraser 

sums it up: “Anyone who 

has raced with or against 

Henrietta will attest to her 

quiet determination. 

She is the irrefutable example 

of turning your dreams into 

schemes. 

All power to her.

A $325,000 pump track 

proposed for the Prebbleton 

Recreation Reserve will not be 

challenging enough for youth, 

says a father and his supporters. 

The district council is currently 

consulting on the proposed 

design. It held a drop-in session 

on Saturday morning at the 

Prebbleton Domain tennis 

and netball 

clubrooms and 

is undertaking 

an online 

survey. 

Prebbleton 

resident Kevin 

Ban is pleased 

the district 

council plans 

to install a 

track in spring, after he mooted 

the idea in 2018. 

But he opposes the design, 

which has been released by 

design and construction company 

Frews Contracting Ltd. 

He has received support from 

several fellow residents in the 

Prebbleton Community Group 

Facebook page. 

Ban said the district council 

should have instead contracted 

Velosolutions, an international 

company with a New Zealand 

division. This company had designed 

pump tracks around the 

world. It was an expert when it 

came to the design complexities 

which ensured the tracks were 

inclusive for all ages and challenging 

for teenagers. 

Draft Concept Design for Prebbleton Pump Track 

Pump tracks designed correctly 

would have features that 

five-year-olds could roll through 

and that experienced riders 

could use as gap jumps. They 

provided enough challenges to 

stay attractive for years, because 

the rollers and berms could be 

combined and jumped in different 

directions. 

Ban said the proposed track 

did not provide these features, 

and youth would quickly get 

bored by it. 

He was lobbying the district 

council to change the plan and

Kevin Ban 

the contractor, and had met 

with group property manager 

Douglas Marshall. 

Marshall told the Selwyn 

Times that the district council 

had carried out a tender process 

to award the design and 

construction contract, inviting 

three parties to provide a proposal. 

“Velosolutions were one of 

those parties, but their bid was 

received after the close date and 

lacked information that was 

requested,” Marshall said. 

“Frews was the only company 

that submitted a tender bid. We 

are comfortable that the Frews 

tender application was a high

Marshall said the intention 

of putting the design out for 

feedback was to hear from all 

potential users. 

“All the feedback we get 

through this process including 

Mr Ban’s suggestions will be 

considered in finalising the 

design. Our objective is to 

work with all of the community 

to ensure that we provide a 

pump track that will serve riders 

of a variety of ages and abilities 

from across Selwyn,” Marshall 

said.

TREE STUMPS REIGNITE 

Firefighters from Leeston, 

Southbridge and Dunsandel 

attended a fire in a large pile of 

tree stumps last Wednesday about 

4pm. Leeston Volunteer Fire 

Brigade firefighter Vicky Roberts 

said the fire was threatening a 

tree line on McConnells Rd. Five 

appliances attended and were 

onsite for about five-and-a-half 

hours. The fire had been caused 

by reignition of a controlled fire 

which occurred about a month 

ago. “Previous burn-offs can take 

a significant amount of time to 

cool down and therefore be fully 

extinguished. It’s worth turning 

and dousing with water regularly,” 

Roberts said. 

COURSES POPULAR 

Growing demand for the district 

council’s Leading Learners is 

seeing the courses sell out quickly. 

Sixteen young drivers have 

signed up for each of two courses 

to be held in the July school 

holidays, while there is a further 

36 names on a waiting list. The 

district council is planning to run 

another three courses in October. 

The half-day course is $20, 

subsided by the district council 

and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport 

Agency. It offers practical handson 

learning experience for young 

drivers alongside their parents/ 

caregivers.

SHED DESTROYED 

Firefighters battled strong 

winds as they extinquished a 

large shed fire on Washbournes 

Rd near Southbridge on 

Monday. The Southbridge 

Volunteer Fire Brigade was called 

to the scene about 

6.45am. It was backed up 

by appliances from Leeston, 

Dunsandel, Lincoln and Rakaia. 

The shed was gutted and 

machinery inside destroyed. 

These included a tractor, truck 

and spray truck. Southbridge 

chief Shane King said the 

cause of the blaze was under 

investigation but it was not 

deemed suspicious. 

SHOTS ALLEGEDLY FIRED 

Police brought the vehicle of 

an armed offender who was 

allegedly firing shots out of 

his car window to a standstill 

with road spikes. On 

Wednesday about 11.50am, 

police received multiple reports 

relating to the 27-year-old man 

from Timaru driving north 

near Rakaia. He was allegedly 

pointing a firearm out of his car’s 

window and firing shots. Police 

spiked the vehicle on the Selwyn 

bridge near Telegraph Rd. The 

man was to appear in court this 

week on driving and firearms 

charges. 

PERSON SOUGHT 

Police are appealing to the 

public for any information 

about an attempted burglary 

at the Selwyn Health Hub 

on Norman Kirk Drive in 

Rolleston. Someone, thought 

to be the person pictured, has 

tried unsuccessfully to break 

into the building on May 16 

at 9.15pm. They have then 

smashed three windows, which 

are costing thousands of dollars 

to replace. The alleged offender 

was wearing a jacket with a long 

zip on the left and black shoes. 

After the incident they walked 

towards a bus stop on Kidman 

St. Anyone with information 

about this person is asked to call 

police on 105, or Crimestoppers 

on 0800 555 111, and quote file 

number 210519/9585.

“It gave him a bit of 

hope too I suppose, as long 

as the lights were on we 

weren’t going to leave him,” 

May said. 

Police, fire brigades and 

St John were at the scene, 

as well as a swift water 

rescue team which was 

attempting to reach the 

man with boats. Then the 

air force helicopter arrived, 

but it left the scene to go to 

another rescue at Thompsons 

Track near Ashburton 

after the attempt to winch 

the man out failed. 

Then the man took off 

his jersey and dived into 

the river. 

“We were horrified, we 

thought that’s it, he’s gone,” 

May said. 

The police officer at the 

scene got in touch with 

the helicopter crew and 

told them to come back. 

They returned, and at 

about 10.40pm were able 

to winch the man out from 

another tree which he was 

holding onto about 400m 

downstream. 

Darfield Rural Fire Force 

spokesman Ed Dance said 

he had tried to call the 

man on his cellphone upon 

arriving at the scene, but 

the phone had gone flat as 

the man had been using it 

as a torch before the tractor 

arrived. 

Darfield Volunteer 

Fire Brigade chief John 

Chambers said the fire 

brigade was called about 

7.30pm and was first on the 

scene. Firefighters located 

where the man was when 

he answered their shouts. 

The river rose rapidly 

throughout the night as the 

boat and helicopter rescue 

attempts failed. 

“When he went into the 

river, we really thought that 

possibly it was the end for 

the poor bugger,” Chambers 

said.

Man winched to safety 

RESCUE: It was touch and go as to whether a 

man stranded by floodwaters would ever be 

saved, but he was finally winched out after being 

swept downstream. 

After the man was 

winched out, the helicopter 

carried him up to about 

100m and lowered him into 

a paddock. Here, the swift 

water crew put him into a 

stretcher and carried him 

to the ambulance, where he 

was able to stand and walk. 

“It was incredible, 

because he actually stood 

up and walked himself,” 

Chambers said. 

He said it was not the 

first time the brigade had 

responded to cars entering 

the river. When in flood, 

the river presented this risk 

to motorists, especially at 

night.

THE ROLLESTON Volunteer 

Fire Brigade has more than $1 

million of new fire engines, as it 

trials one appliance and prepares 

to commission another. 

The brigade is the third in 

the country to undertake a sixmonth 

trial of a fire engine from 

European manufacturer Magirus. 

It is using this for callouts 

instead of its own six-year-old 

fire engine. 

At the same time, a new appliance 

built by Fraser Fire and 

Rescue in Wellington awaits 

commissioning after the trial is 

finished. This will permanently 

replace the six-year-old unit. 

Both the new Fraser and Magirus 

appliances cost FENZ more 

than half a million dollars each. 

FENZ regional area co-ordinator 

Chris Price said the national 

organisation had bought the Magirus 

appliance to undergo two 

years of trials in order to find out 

if any of its features were worth 

incorporating into New Zealand 

fire engines in future. 

FENZ has its fire engines made 

in the country, specifying what 

it wants and deciding on which 

company will build them in a 

tendering process. 

He said the Magirus fire 

engine, now at Rolleston, had already 

undergone six-month trial 

periods at other brigades. One 

was at Woodville and one was 

at Kaitaia. After Rolleston, the 

engine may go to another brigade 

for a final six-month trial, before 

finding a permanent home at one 

of the country’s brigades. 

Price said firefighters had enjoyed 

using the Magirus, which

had more electronics than the 

traditional New Zealand-made 

trucks. 

“It (the trial) has gone very 

well. The brigades are pretty 

savvy, and we need good and bad 

feedback,” Price said. 

Rolleston chief Cam Kenyon 

said the Magirus was making 

an impact in the town, due to its 

different siren sound. This could 

be described as a noisy nee-norr, 

compared to the more traditional 

and higher pitched whoo-whoo 

of New Zealand-made fire 

engines. 

“People are going to say: ‘What 

the hell is that?’” Kenyon said. 

He said so far the engine had 

operated well at callouts. The 

brigade was looking forward to 

commissioning its new appliance 

once the trial had finished in 

about six months. 


DISTRICT councillors have 

accepted another private plan 

change application as Rolleston’s 

exponential growth continues. 

Rolleston’s size of almost 8000 

dwellings will increase by up 

to 70 per cent if the seven plan 

change applications, encompassing 

up to 5709 new residential 

lots before the council, all make 

it through the submission and 

hearing process to the stage of 

development. 

At their meeting on Wednesday, 

councillors accepted the 

Plan Change 71 application, 

from Four Stars Development 

Ltd and Gould Developments 

Ltd. This means the request can 

now be publicly notified. 

The rezoning request would 

allow for the development of 

up to 660 dwellings. It relates 

to land located between Levi 

Rd, Lincoln Rolleston Rd and 

Nobeline Drive. 

Of the seven private plan 

change applications the council 

has received for Rolleston, only 

two pertain to land outside of

district council confirmed in

Plan Change 71 is one of 

these, with some of the land 

covered by the application being 

outside of this boundary. The 

other is Plan Change 73, which 

would rezone two former plantation 

forestry blocks on Dunns 

Crossing Rd and allow for up to 

2100 residential lots. 

Planning manager Ben 

Rhodes said the council’s move 

to accept this and other plan 

change requests, did not mean it 

supported the proposal. 

“The request and submissions 

(following notification) will 

be heard by an independent

commissioner will make a 

recommendation back to

or decline the private request,”

New Mexicali in Lincoln 

Back in the 70s, a California 

hippie living in an old school bus 

discovered a passion for Mexican 

food. He packed up the bus and 

took his dreams of peace, love and 

great tacos to far-out places like 

New York and Oregon. Fast-forward 

to 2005, the family brought the laidback, 

California inspired food and 

flavours to New Zealand, creating 

Mexicali Fresh which is now a 14 

outlet franchise around the country. 

Our newest member to board the 

Mexicali bus is Aron, opening the 

brand new Mexicali in Lincoln. 

Aron and his wife Shelley, along 

with daughter Zara, moved to 

Lincoln to be closer to family. 

They love being part of the small 

community and getting to know 

all their locals. Aron has always 

been a massive fan of Mexicali 

and loved our food, always 

searching for a store on his travels 

for work, believing that Lincoln 

needed one in the town. 

“It’s been a great opportunity 

to have a brand new Mexicali in 

Lincoln, bringing healthy, fresh 

and great tasting food to the 

community”. 

With our authentic menu and 

excellent daily deals there’s 

always a great feed available. The 

Mexicali secret has always been 

to make everything fresh using 

traditional recipes from way back. 

So we grill and roast our meats, 

chop our salsas and hand fry up all 

our tortilla chips fresh each day. 

Come say hi at our brand new digs 

in Lincoln, grab a sweet feed, a cold 

Mexican beer or one of our world 

famous Frozen Margaritas soon. 

If you mention this article instore 

before 16th June, we’ll throw in a 

Mince or Jackfruit taco for just $3! 

Totally Dope. Cali-style Mexican.

CYCLING safely from Rolleston 

to central Christchurch is one 

step closer with construction of 

a path to Templeton under way. 

City Care has been contracted 

by the district 

council 

and construction 

of a 

1km section 

of cycleway 

has started. 

It runs from 

Dawsons 

Rd, between 

Rolleston 

and Templeton, to meet up with 

an existing path at Globe Bay 

Drive at Templeton. 

District council transportation 

asset delivery manager 

Mark Chamberlain said the 

$190,000 project was due for 

completion next month. 

The 2.5-3m wide, asphaltsealed 

path for pedestrians and 

cyclists, would match and link 

up with what Waka Kotahi NZ 

Transport Agency had provided 

from Rolleston – along Jones Rd 

up to Dawsons Rd. 

The construction project included 

safety fencing along the 

Rolleston to Hagley Park.

The district council and 

Christchurch City Council plan 

for the cycleway to eventually 

connect with the South Express 

cycleway from Kirk Rd at Templeton, 

about 580m away. 

Construction of the South 

Express cycleway, to run from 

Templeton to Hagley Park, is 

under way.

cycle path under construction will ultimately connect 

was currently under way at the 

city end of the South Express. 

“Construction on the first section 

from Deans Ave to Craven 

St will be completed later this 

year and work will progress 

towards Templeton. 

The cycleway is expected to 

be completed in late 2022 and 

will be just under 15km. How 

long that would take to cycle 

is dependent on a variety of 

factors,” Ellis said.

to begin site development 

last month through initial construction

said. 

Rustlers slaughter sheep 


MORE SHEEP have been 

slaughtered in the district, this 

time leaving a blood trail behind 

them. 

Two stud rams were killed 

and uplifted from the front yard 

of the Redmond family farm of 

Pauline Hindmarsh at Ladbrooks 

on Christchurch Akaroa Rd, 

overnight Tuesday last week. 

The slaughter and theft follows 

two sheep being discovered 

dead in a creek on Raineys Rd 

near Lincoln in February. They 

had been skinned with their 

forequarters and hindquarters 

removed. 

Hindmarsh’s daughter Gwen 

said the two rams, one two-yearold 

named Sam and one nineyear-old 

named Old Boy, were 

an important part of the farm’s 

breeding programme. 

The rams were also pets, and it 

had been distressing to lose them 

in. 

The house near the front yard 

had been splattered in blood 

while pools and trails of blood 

were elsewhere in the yard and 

leading out to near the road. 

Gwen appealed for anyone 

who had noticed any suspicious 

behaviour on the side of the road 

(left travelling from the city), 

late on Tuesday night or early 

Wednesday morning, to report 

it to the police (file number

Charlie’s new home something to crow about 

• By Matt Slaughter 

FOUR MONTHS ago, Charlie 

the rooster was abandoned– 

now he has a new home in 

Leeston. 

About 120 days after being 

found at a Rolleston early 

childhood centre and taken to 

the SPCA in Hornby, he was 

adopted on Friday by a loving 

family. 

Charlie’s plight was reported 

in The Star last week, which 

prompted a Leeston couple with 

a lifestyle block to adopt him. 

The centre’s Natasha Sutton 

said Charlie is sociable and will 

make a great pet. 

“For a rooster, he’s really quite 

sweet. He’s quite friendly, he’ll 

kind of come and see you when 

you go and feed him. 

“He’ll come over and say hello 

and wait for his feed.” 

Sutton said Charlie is well 

behaved and does not crow as 

loudly as some may expect. 

She said on Saturday the 

centre held an adoption day, 

with 33 animals finding new 

homes. 

There are still more than 200 

animals in need of owners at the 

SPCA’s centre. 

The centre has more than 100 

more animals than usual for this 

time of year. 

It has 19 horses waiting for 

ADOPTED: Natasha Sutton with Charlie the rooster, one of 33 SPCA animals finding a 

home on Saturday.

homes. During normal times, 

there are usually “one or two,” 

Sutton said. 

Said Sutton: “At the moment, 

unfortunately, with the drought 

that we’ve had and lack of feed, 

people are struggling to feed 

their horses, they’re getting really 

skinny and we’re getting a lot 

more in.” 

She said there are more than 

100 cats at the centre and this is 

potentially because last breeding 

season was longer due to 

warmer weather. 

The future of the animals at 

the centre is safe and all will stay 

there until they find homes. 

STRUGGLE: Nineteen horses at 

the SPCA’s Hornby’s centre are 

looking for homes. Drought over 

recent months has increased 

the number of animals needing 

care. Warmer weather has also 

increased the number of cats 

due to a long breeding season.

Young Christie makes the big time 

TALENT: Former Lincoln High School student Henrietta 

Christie will soon be racing on the women’s world tour. 

PROMISING YOUNG road 

cyclist Henrietta Christie 

has been given a professional 

contract with an Italian-based 

team racing on the women’s 

world tour. 

The former Lincoln High 

School student has joined Bepink, 

a well-known professional 

team, that includes Vantage New 

Zealand elite rider Michaela 

Drummond, 

Bepink is a well-known 

professional team, currently a 

Continental category team but 

regularly invited to women’s 

world tour races. 

The squad includes two-time 

Italian time trial champion 

Silvia Valsecchi. 

Christie, who won the 

under-23 time trial title at this 

year’s Vantage road national 

championships, was recently 

awarded junior women’s cyclist 

of the year and junior women’s 

emerging road talent, 

She rides for the Leeston Cycling 

Club. 

The 19-year-old took up cycling 

at 12, and joined the Velo 

Project team, run by her coach 

Elyse Fraser. 

“Henrietta 

developed strongly through 

the under-19 grade and into 

under-23 age group with support 

from Velo Project, and we are 

excited to see her join the next 

level,” Fraser said. 

“She is a very talented rider, 

and a standout in the way she 

dedicates herself to her riding, as 

well as key facets off the bike. 

She is keen to identify weaknesses 

and work hard to improve 

them, which will serve her well 

overseas. 

“Anyone who has raced with 

or against Henrietta will attest 

to her quiet determination. 

She is the irrefutable example 

of turning your dreams into 

schemes. She is passionate about 

riding and excited about being 

immersed in a new environment 

and culture.” 

The opportunity was organised 

by Patrick Harvey, who has been 

the key contributor to the development 

of a number of young 

riders into the professional ranks 

including his daughter Mikayla, 

23, who is currently ranked in 

the top 30 riders in the world. 

There are currently 13 New 

Zealand female riders in United 

States or European-based UCI 

World Tour of Continental 

professional teams.

Using science and recycling as a way 

• By Bea Gooding 

RUDY KRAMERS considers 

himself a bit of a mad scientist. 

“I love blowing things up. I 

used to spend a lot of time at 

my kids’ school doing science 

demonstrations – the bigger the 

bang, the more excited they got.” 

For as long as he can remember, 

science and technology have 

run through his veins. And while 

most people shied away from live 

electricity, Kramers gravitated 

towards it. 

It is what made the Rolleston 

resident the perfect fit to join the 

team at Molten Media Trust, a 

charity that promotes the ethical 

recycling of electronics by 

refurbishing devices destined for 

landfill. 

Said Kramers: “I love the idea 

of electrons running through 

a wire, you can’t see it, but you 

know it’s there. And if there’s 

enough of it, you can feel it, even 

if it means getting an electric 

shock.” 

Molten Media stopped 30 

tonnes of electronic waste from 

going to landfill last year. 

Eighty to 90 per cent of 

dismantled component parts 

are also diverted away from the 

dump. 

People and businesses donate 

unwanted TVs, computers, 

phones, printers and other

devices for the trust to repair or 

refurbish. 

They are often stripped for 

parts that are either sold through 

the trust’s online store or put 

towards building something new 

to donate to community groups 

who cannot afford brand new 

devices, like computers. 

A software developer by 

trade, Kramers’ arrival as a 

trustee last year came at a time 

when the charity was entering 

“dangerous territory” as a result 

of Covid-19. 

It was on the brink of closure 

after operating for more than 

two decades. Income dropped 

to “almost nothing” during the 

lockdown as donations stopped 

flowing in. 

Excluding the trustees, there 

were only two staff on hand to 

process a massive backlog of 

electronics needing to be taken 

apart. 

Tasks like separating plastic 

away from steel were timeconsuming 

enough as it is. 

“Covid was the final nail in the 

coffin. Having the money to pay 

rent each month was the crux of 

whether the place was viable or 

not,” Kramers said. 

“Trying to sell stuff is getting 

harder because companies like 

PB Tech and Noel Leeming are 

selling stuff so much cheaper 

than they ever have. 

“We’d be lucky to get $50 for a 

second-hand TV.” 

Selling parts and refurbished 

devices to help cover funding 

shortfalls got more challenging 

because people were willing to 

pay less. 

“Metal prices are trending 

downwards,” said Kramers. 

“Countries like China who are 

big buyers of steel and scrap were 

paying less for it, so the amount 

of money we were getting from 

metal recyclers has [also] gone 

down. 

But following personal cash 

injections from the pockets of 

trustees, Kramers felt confident 

the trust can be self-sufficient 

again without relying on grants, 

which were hard to come by. 

His confidence derives from 

a place of wanting to see the 

charity succeed and a passion for 

sustainability, even if it did come 

with its frustrations.

to look after the environment 

If only businesses took more 

steps to reduce waste by being 

actively involved in where it went 

next and ensuring products were 

made to last in the first place. 

Things like household appliances 

produced en masse to be 

sold in chain stores may lower 

the cost for consumers, but not 

the cost it has on the environment. 

Said Kramers: “I’m disappointed 

that we haven’t dealt with this 

sooner because it’s a problem that 

people have talked about for a 

long time, everyone keeps sweeping 

it into the too hard basket. 

“It blows me away what comes 

through the door, you can tell 

someone purchased it earlier in 

the year and it’s already in the 

bin.” 

Kramers channels this energy 

into educating the next generation 

the reason why organisations 

like Molten Media exist. 

He has been involved with the 

trust since its early days to enable 

better access to raw materials for 

this purpose. 

Along with teaching children 

how to code, the workshops allow 

them to experiment with recycled 

parts. 

It could be using a motor that 

used to power a printer – perfect 

for building robots. 

After all, they are the ones who 

have to deal with the waste later 

on, he said. 

“It gives kids an opportunity to 

see what happens to old computers 

when they die, and we can 

explain to them how much bad 

materials are inside them. 

“I think phones are one of 

the worst as far as the number 

of toxic chemicals that go into 

building it. 

“One of the things they enjoy 

the most is ripping something 

apart or throwing too many volts 

into something and finding out 

how much it takes before smoke 

comes out.” 

A portion of laptops and desktop 

computers are donated back 

to charities. 

This was something Kramers 

was proud of, particularly when 

helping vulnerable families have 

access to technology through a 

partnership with 0800 Hungry, 

Canterbury’s largest foodbank. 

But ultimately, the most rewarding 

part was when people

made an effort to reuse waste. 

“I really like that side of it 

where people come in and want 

to do the right thing,” said Kramers. 

Even though he was “spreading 

himself a bit thin” juggling a day 

job, raising three children with 

his wife and helping the trust 

survive, he enjoyed what he did 

more than he ever has. 

What kept him going was the 

ability to combine his love of 

building electronics with giving 

‘It gives kids an 

opportunity to see 

what happens to old 

computers when they die’ 

– Rudy Kramers 

back to the community. 

A fascination with artificial 

intelligence meant his latest project 

was building a robot, but that 

was still a work in progress. 

In the meantime, Kramers had 

a few simple messages to consumers 

about the power they had 

to instil change. 

“When you’re buying something 

always go for the next 

model up, never go for the cheapest 

item. It will find itself in our 

waste stream much quicker,” he 

said. 

“More pressure on the council 

on what they’re doing about 

waste minimisation would hopefully 

mean people like us are 

brought to the forefront.”

BACKYARD CRITTERS 

Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in 

entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces a new species found in his 

backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public 

awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things 

around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates 

found at www.inaturalist.org/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-in-my-lincoln-section 

Rolleston Christian School year 6 to 8 pupils, 

including Ayden Trenuela-Chan, were recently 

able to quiz online experts in relation to the 

Bream Head part of the Te Araroa track in 

Northland. In a Zoom meeting run by Learnz, 

they learned that similar problems with invasive 

species exist across New Zealand, and that pest 

control and native plant restoration really do 

help restore eco-systems. They were also able to 

share their own studies on biodiversity with the 

experts, talking about Te Waihora, Arthur’s Pass 

and Glentui. 

Nocturnal beetle likes company 

NEW ZEALAND has 

approximately 518 species of 

ground beetles or Carabidae, 92 

per cent of which are endemic, 

which means they are only 

found here. 

Most ground beetles are 

generalist predators that 

eat soft-bodied insects such 

as caterpillars or aphids. 

Anomotarus illawarrae is an 

adventive species that arrived 

probably by its own means from 

Australia and was first recorded 

in New Zealand in 1955. 

THis species is 7mm long and 

black in appearance, apart from 

its orange-brown legs, outer 

margin of its abdomen and its 

antennae. 

THe southernmost specimen 

collected and recorded appears 

to be from our section in 

Lincoln, but is likely to be in 

other locations nearby. 

THe species can tolerate a 

large range of habitats including 

forest, sand dunes, riverbanks 

and wetlands. 

It is a gregarious and 

nocturnal species that is found 

under stones or leaf litter. 

THe beetle has large wings and 

flies to light. 

It is a good climber and a 

moderate runner.

SELWYN SWIM Club has 

had 11 athletes competing 

in national championship 

events throughout the 

country this season. 

Six of them returned 

victorious from the 2021 

New Zealand Division 2 

Swimming Championships, 

in Dunedin last month. 

Holly Smith, 15, won 

three medals – gold in the 

14 years 400m freestyle 

and silver in the 1500m 

and 800m freestyle. 

Ben Smith, 16, won 

bronze in the 16-18 years 

400m individual medley. 

Charlie Overend, 12, Charlise 

Miller, 16, and Morgan 

Manners, 14, improved 

their personal best times in 

the morning heats, while 

Emma Ogilvie, 13, made 

her first two national meet 

finals with great swims and 

new personal best times. 

The team also achieved a 

further 11 top-eight placings 

through the five-day 

competition. 

Marketing and communications 

officer Rachel 

Close said the championships 

had been a great 

opportunity for the 

swimmers to get out and 

compete with the best 

swimmers in the country. 

GET CONNECTED WITH 

Scorch Broadband 

“And get some amazing 

results after such a rocky 

year last year,” she said. 

Not being able to compete 

due to Covid restrictions 

last year had made 

the club’s swimmers come 

back with more determination 

and drive than ever. 

The championships followed 

two events in April. 

Para athletes Ella Benn, 

18, and Ieuan Edwards, 18, 

represented Selwyn at the 

New Zealand Swimming 

Championships in Auckland, 

which also doubled 

as the Olympic and Paralympic 

qualifying event. 

They won seven medals 

between them, including a 

gold for Ieuan in the men’s 

multi-class 50m breaststroke, 

silver in the 50m butterfly, 

and bronze in the 50m 

freestyle, 100m butterfly and 


Ella won gold in the 

women’s multi-class 400m 

freestyle, and silver in the 


Ella also broke her own 

national record for the S9 

400m freestyle in a time of 

5:09.76, down from 5:14.09. 

Three swimmers, Lachlan 

Anderson, 15, Brooke 

Bennett, 14, and Chloe 

Newbigging, 16, represented 

Selwyn at the New Zealand 

Age Group Championships 

in Wellington. 

Brooke won three silver 

medals in the 14 years age 

group for 1500m, 800m 

and 400m freestyle, and 

one bronze in the 200m 

freestyle. Chloe finished 

with two seventh place finishes 

in the 16 years 100m 

and 200m backstroke. 

Lachlan performed well 

and came away with some 

new personal best times. 

“Swimming may look 

like an individual sport, 

but at the competitive level 

a huge aspect is all about 

team support,” Close said. 

“Our swimmers train 

together five times a week 

minimum, so they really 

become a tight-knit 

group. No matter where 

the swimmers were racing 

they all had the support of 

the swimmers who were 

with them, or watching on 

the live stream back home. 

“The team are now 

back into an increased 

training workload at 

home in preparation for 

the New Zealand Short 

Course Championships in 

Auckland this August.”

Severe weather event update 

How will climate change impact Selwyn and what are we doing about it? 

Environment Canterbury and other councils across Canterbury have launched 'It's Time, 

Canterbury’ campaign to get people talking about climate change with a new website sharing the 

latest research, how each council is responding and how you can be part of that. 

It’s Time, Canterbury will start the important but tough conversation, Mayor Sam Broughton said. 

“No matter where you live or what you do, climate change affects everyone. This isn’t an easy 

topic, but we have to talk about the specifics and take action to reduce the impacts of climate 

change, as well as preparing ourselves to adapt to it. 

“It’s time for Canterbury’s communities to get a clearer picture of what we are seeing and what we 

are expecting in our own local areas, so that we can all make up our own minds about what we 

will do to help reduce or manage the impact of our changing climate,” he said. 

Erana Riddell, a mana whenua representative on Environment Canterbury’s youth rōpū, said ‘It’s 

time, Canterbury’ is an important step for the region. 

“We know it can’t be just talk – but getting the conversation going is so important. Let’s not freak 

out. Let’s get the facts and decide what action we can all take.” 

Environment Canterbury Chair Jenny Hughey said the regional council had been building its 

understanding of the potential effects of climate change on the region. 

“We all know that to curb the worst impacts of climate change, greenhouse gas emissions need 

to be seriously reduced on a global scale. But there’s plenty we can do locally, and in many of our 

region’s councils’ new Long-Term Plans, climate change response is at the forefront,” she said. 

“Everyone has a part to play, and some of the simplest things people can do include being 

informed and prepared, and talking with others about the changes they make. 

The website includes a pledge Cantabrians can take committing to stay informed and be a part of 

the solution, she says. 

Water infrastructure gets multi-million 

dollar upgrades 

More than $15 million worth of work has been carried out in the past year to improve our drinking water, 

stormwater and wastewater systems – from Arthur’s Pass to Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. 

A further $12.3 million of work is under way or planned for this calendar year. 

The investment reflects the commitment to maintaining the district's vital services, Council Group 

Manager Infrastructure Murray Washington says. 

“Having really good water infrastructure has been a big focus for us as a Council to make sure we’re 

looking after this most important resource in the best way we can for residents. Our water services 

team has put in a huge amount of work over the year, which reflects the work it takes to maintain these 

systems, as well as their dedication to improving them for consumers.” 

The work has included $10.4 million of upgrades to the district’s drinking water systems. 

This has seen three new water sources equipped with UV treatment to cater for growth in Lincoln, 

Prebbleton and Leeston, as well as a new deep bore in Darfield to supplement the existing supply and 

provide greater resilience. 

Nine water treatment plants from Southbridge to Arthur’s Pass were upgraded with UV treatment and 

water main renewals, and system upgrades were completed in Upper Selwyn Huts, Darfield, Malvern 

Hills, Arthur’s Pass, Castle Hill and Hororātā. 

A further $3.7 million of new wastewater infrastructure and upgrades have been installed, including a 

new pipeline from Doyelston to Leeston, and 1.2 kilometres of old pipes were replaced in Prebbleton 

and Leeston. 

Over $800,000 of work has also been carried out on stormwater protection, including the next stages 

of the Leeston stormwater bypass, stormwater piping in Prebbleton, improvements around Hororātā 

township and a new weed cutter boat to safely and efficiently clear weeds from the LII river. 

Water pipeline renewals worth $3.7 million are planned in Rolleston, Prebbleton, Darfield and Hororātā, 

while a new $7.1 million solar drying hall at the Pines Wastewater Treatment plant and a $1.5 million 

upgrade of the Castle Hill wastewater pond are nearing completion.

Moments of falling in love with 

new nation 

A game of rugby, music and a brief ship visit have inspired new 

citizens from all over the world. 

This month’s citizenship ceremony saw 31 people from 10 different 

countries, ranging from the Philippines to Germany, take the oath to 

officially become Kiwi. 

Among them were John Mason from Tasmania who moved here to 

join the New Zealand Army band in 2015 and fell in love with the 

country while travelling it with the band. And Michael During from 

Denmark arrived in Auckland in 1987 for some brief shore leave 

while in the Danish navy. 

“I met my wife to be and I never seemed to get out of here,” he said. 

While a number of the new citizens spoke about moving here in 

recent years to start a new life, there were also several longer-term 

residents who spoke about the moments they realised they wanted 

to officially become citizens of Aotearoa. 

Bronwyn Hooper from Australia gave her mihi and shared her story 

of moving here 21 years ago. 

“I married an amazing Kiwi husband and have two amazing Kiwi 

teenagers, but I think Covid made some of us question our legal 

status and where our hearts are. 

For Stephen Higham, from Scotland, it was a game of rugby that 

helped him make the decision to become a citizen. 

“I’ve been here 22 years now, have a couple of Kiwi teenagers 

and a Kiwi wife. I realised when I was watching the All Blacks play 

England and I was supporting the All Blacks that it was time to get 

my citizenship.” 

Bronwyn Hooper with Mayor Sam Broughton and Warrant Officer First Class 

Michael Goldsworthy.

WHISTLE HAPPY: 

Marty Gameson 

(centre) refereed 

his 150th division 

one rugby match 

at his original 

club recently. 

The presentation 

featured 

Ellesmere Sub 

Union referees’ 

convener Sam 

O’Reilly and fellow 

referee Luke Clark. 


Rugby referee has another goal in his sights 

• By Chris Barclay 

MARTY GAMESON has reset his goals 

after reaching the 150-match milestone 

as a division 1 rugby referee, another 

century is now in his sights. 

The 54-year-old stepped down from 

the Luisetti Seeds Combined division 1 

refereeing panel after fittingly posting 

the landmark when West Melton hosted 

Hampstead on May 15. 

“West Melton is so important to me 

because that’s where I started playing 

as a wee fella almost 50 years ago,” said 

Gameson, who transitioned to refereeing 

in 1998 after injuries curtailed his playing 

career at Glenmark. 

He made his division 1 debut in 2003, a 

career highlight was accompanying High 

School Old Boys to referee on a tour to 

Argentina two years later. 

“It was a great experience. There were 

fireworks and the South Americans actually 

kissed you when they scored tries,” he 

said. 

Gameson also had fond memories of 

his refereeing debut, in spite of being 

floored by Canterbury and Crusaders 

prop Stu Loe during a pre-season hit out. 

“I stood in the wrong place. Stu clean 

bowled me and said: ‘You’ll never stand 

there again will you?’ 

“After that game I thought: ‘This is cool, 

I love it’.” 

Gameson, the principal at Hororata Primary 

School, had aspirations to referee at 

representative level but pared back those 

ambitions to focus on making rugby a 

numbers game. 

“I started refereeing quite late and you 

don’t back an old racehorse to win the 

Melbourne Cup. I didn’t go as high as I 

thought I would,” he said. 

“Once I realised I wasn’t going to be a 

star I started setting myself goals around 

appearances,” he said. 

“The next goal would have been 200 but 

that would take me until I’m 60. I’ve got 

the ability to get there but there’s a risk 

that sometimes you can also be a roadblock 

to young people coming through.” 

So last Saturday he refereed Diamond 

Harbour and Springston, his 81st division 

2 fixture as another triple-figure achievement 

looms. 

There are no games on Queens Birthday 

weekend, but he will still be keeping 

match-fit. 

“I train three times a week, rugby truly 

is my sport and the referees have become 

my team, ” he said. 

Meanwhile, although Gameson doesn’t 

turn a blind eye to foul play, he is able to 

turn a deaf ear to criticism either from the 

field or the sidelines. 

“I had a serious head injury in 2002, I 

ran into a garage door. I had a helicopter 

ride I don’t remember and I was asleep for 

a week,” he said. 

“I’m deaf on one side so I don’t hear a 

lot of the abuse.” 

EYES ON THE BALL: Marty 

Gameson follows play while 

refereeing a match between 

Lincoln and Hurunui in 2019.

disabilities * . 

*The people we’re currently vaccinating in Group 3 include some people aged 65 and

Southbridge stay on track for title 

SOUTHBRIDGE SURGE: Wing Will Carter makes ground for Southbridge during their 

37-10 Luisetti Seeds Cup quarter-final win over Methven. PHOTOS: KAREN CASEY 

• By Chris Barclay 

SOUTHBRIDGE’S march to 

the Luisetti Seeds Combined 

Division 1 title remains on track, 

and in an ominous sign for their 

semi-final opponents the club’s 

depth has deepened as injury 

issues ease. 

Props Fox Puleiku and 

Josh Kewish are available for 

selection against Kaiapoi on 

Saturday, while Daryl Lamborn 

was prominent in his first start 

of the season at No 8 following 

facial surgery as Pool A standard 

bearers Southbridge eliminated 

Methven in last weekend’s 

quarter-finals. 

Centre Josh McKeefry, on the 

comeback from a knee injury, 

also starred in the comfortable 

37-10 victory on a damp Southbridge 

Domain. 

“It wasn’t the 100 per cent 

performance we were after, but 

considering the conditions, 

we’re really happy with the way 

we played,” said co-coach Tom 

Turner. 

Kaiapoi advanced by beating 

Springston 32-14 and in the 

other sudden death clashes 

Prebbleton edged Saracens 17-16, 

Southern, who topped pool B, 

were too strong for Darfield, 

prevailing 25-12. 

Southbridge manager Wayne 

Palmer said Springston coaching 

staff would be consulted as part 

of their preparation for North 

Canterbury opposition. 

“They played Springston last 

weekend so there will be a bit of 

a collaboration,” he said. 

“We’ve heard they’re pretty 

good at the set piece from another 

couple of clubs. That’s what 

we’l be working on this week.” 

A late penalty by Ted Coleman 

enabled Prebbleton to beat unbeaten 

pool C-topping Saracens 

at Southbrook Domain. 

“It was just inside the 22, 

10 metres in, into the rain. It 

just cleared the crossbar,” said 

Prebbleton manager Hamish 

Jamieson, who was relieved 

Saracens were not as accurate off 

the tee. 

“They missed a couple of penalties, 

six points went begging. 

The game could have gone either 

way really, we’re just lucky we 

came away with the win.” 

Loose forward Alex 

Coulthard (ankle) is the only 

injury concern for Prebbleton’s 

assignment in Hinds while 

heavy rain may force an 

alternative training session this 

week. 

The squad may head indoors 

for a pool session if their training 

ground is waterlogged.

Growing garlic is easy – plant in friable soil 

• By Henri Ham 


FIRST-TIME garlic grower? 

Don’t fret growing garlic is 

pretty easy, all you need is good 

seedlings and great soil and you’re 

away. 

Garlic season is from April 

to July, but the traditional day 

to plant garlic is on June 21, the 

shortest day of the year and ready 

to be harvested on the longest day 

of the year, December 21. 

Garlic grows best in friable soil. 

Friable soil is soil that is “crumbly” 

in texture and is somewhere 

between clay and sand, when 

your press the soil it should make 

a lump but it’s easy to break 

down. 

This type of soil is important 

for garlic since it holds up to 15 

times its water and prevents soil 

erosion. 

Tips to get planting 

1 Pick a spot in your garden 

that receives full sun but also part 

shade and make sure where you’re 

planting has good air circulation 

2 Plant in well-drained, fertilised 

bed 

3 Position bulb 2cm below the 

soil surface 

4 Plant 15cm apart 

5 Keep well weeded 

6 Harvest usually in late 

December or early Jan when the 

leaves die away 

7 Store in an airy dry place out 

of the sun and rain 

Once you’ve planted your garlic, 

keep an eye out for rust. 

Rust is a fungal disease that 

won’t cause much damage to established 

bulbs but unfortunately, 

won’t be ideal for your seedlings. 

So, to avoid that happening we 

recommend getting your garlic 

plants in as early as possible. and 

if you had rust in the last two 

to three years on your garlic or 

onions, make sure you plant them 

in a different spot this year. 

Be sure to keep feeding your 

garlic, we recommend organic 

seaweed as it encourages larger 

bulbs and protects the roots of 

your plant from temperature fluctuations 

as well as strengthens the 

HEALTHY: Plant garlic bulbs 15cm apart in 

well-drained, fertilised beds. 

plant against pests and diseases. 

If you find your garlic has rust, 

chop off the infected leaves as 

soon as you spot rust and discard 

them in the rubbish – not your 

compost bin as this will spread 

the infection. 

Also, give your hands, clothes 

and gardening tools that might 

have come into contact with the 

fungus a good wash. 

Companion planting can also 

help prevent diseases. Plant your 

garlic with carrots, beets, kale, 

kohlrabi, roses, marigolds and 

geraniums. 

Avoid planting asparagus, 

beans, sage and peas with your 

garlic seedlings as this could stunt 

their growth.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Bylaws for the good life 

Townies have been given new guidelines 

for keeping a country way of life. 

Selwyn District Council (SDC) 

has ticked off new rules for keeping 

domesticated animals, poultry, stock and 

bees, saying its new bylaw aims to protect 

the public from nuisance and address 

public health and safety issues. 

From 1 July 2022 all cats in Selwyn 

over four months of age will need to 

be microchipped. This makes Selwyn 

the fourth council in the country to 

require microchipping of cats, along 

with Palmerston North City Council, 

Wellington City Council and Whanganui 

District Council. 

SDC says the decision to include the 

microchipping requirement was made 

following the strong support it received 

during public consultation. National 

research showed half of cat owners in New 

Zealand already microchipped their cats. 

The new bylaw sets rules on the numbers 

of hives and poultry allowed and where 

and how they can be housed. It also 

covered issues such as nuisance, including

odour and noise, and would allow 

SDC to investigate and act on nuisance 

complaints relating to animals, although 

SDC expected to take an “educational 

approach” to ensure that people are 

familiar with the rules and what is 

required of them. 

Other controls for keeping animals in 

urban areas included: 

Lambs under six months, a limited 

number of poultry and no more than two 

bee hives on urban properties. However, 

exemptions would be considered for more 

hives on properties greater than 1,500 

square metres, or located next to a reserve 

or rural land. 

Only up to 12 poultry would be allowed 

(but no roosters or peacocks). 

SDC adopted the Keeping Animals, 

Poultry and Bees Bylaw at a meeting on 

May 12th and the new rules come into 

effect on 1 July 2021, except the rules for 

cats, which come into force a year later, on 

1 July 2022. Dogs are already regulated by 

Dog Control Bylaw and Dog Control Act.

Synlait responds to 

Covid conditions 

Major milk manufacturer and retailer 

Synlait continues to whether the 

international impact of a Covid-related 

downturn. 

In updated full-year guidance, the NZXlisted 

exporter now expects to make a net 

profit after tax loss of between $20 million 

to $30 million 

Interim CEO John Penno said the 

estimate was based on a review of the 

“impact of previously disclosed risks 

affecting Synlait’s performance”, including 

ongoing shipping delays which would 

result in the sale of some ingredient 

products occurring after the FY21 balance 

date. 

The company also expected lower 

prices for ingredient products than 

Synlait would normally expect to achieve 

because of a combination of sales phasing, 

volume pressure; and the adoption of a 

more conservative approach to year-end 

inventory volumes and valuation. 

Penno said Synlait’s banking syndicate 

continued to be supportive and had 

granted a waiver of relevant covenants 

in FY21. The company was working 

constructively with the syndicate to 

ensure it has the appropriate funding for 

FY22. Synlait did not intend to undertake 

a capital raising. 

Commenting on overall performance, 

Penno said “I am disappointed to share 

this news with our investor base. As a 

team we are focused on closing out this 

year as well as we can, then resetting, and 

delivering a much-improved financial 

performance in FY22.” 

Earlier in May, Synlait announced the 

resignation of chief financial officer 

(CFO), Angela Dixon. 

Dixon had led Synlait through several 

market updates and delivered a successful 

$200 million capital raise. “On behalf of 

our team, I would like to thank Angela for 

her contribution and commitment to the 

organisation during a difficult period in 

Synlait’s history,” Penno said. 

Synlait’s General Manager Supply Chain, 

Rob Stowell, has stepped in as interim 

CFO. Stowell was one of Synlait’s original 

employees and has held a variety of roles 

within the business, including senior 

roles in the finance team. He has been 

a member of Synlait’s senior leadership 

team for five years.

Subaru that won’t get your goat 

THE GOOAT – greatest Outback 

of all time is Subaru’s slogan 

for its latest generation station 

wagon. 

It’s a kind of corny catchphrase 

but there’s no disputing the claim, 

the new Outback is surely worthy 

of high praise. I see it as competing 

squarely with European cars 

of similar concept. 

The reason for my statement 

simply comes down to the quality 

of build in the new Outback, it is 

full of appointments, the controls 

are extensive and the layout 

borders on what you would get in 

any luxury car. 

Yet the Outback hasn’t lost sight 

of its purpose, which is the reason 

why it is the vehicle of choice for 

recreational enthusiasts who see 

the model as reliable transport in 

and out of low grip sites. 

And that is something Subaru 

has done well with every iteration 

of the Outback, it is a wagon that 

could easily double as any sport 

utility vehicle, yet it looks and 

functions like a station wagon 

should. Anyone who knows me 

will tell you I like station wagons 

and the cavernous load section is 

full of purpose. 

The Outback will also carry 

five occupants in comfort on any 

surface, sealed, unsealed or as 

Subaru hints – on any goat track. 

A few years ago Subaru New 

Zealand adopted the policy of 

selling all new vehicles here 

complete with its symmetrical 

four-wheel-drive system. It’s 

worked well for the company, and 

any buyer who has purchased a 

new Subaru will have reaped the 

benefits. 

For one it is a complete safety 

system, providing grip even when 

you aren’t aware of it, plus there 

is the other benefit of travelling 

cross-country or off-road at will, 

and that’s where the Outback 

comes in, it lives up to its name 

with 213mm of ground clearance 

and suspension travel that deals 

well to uneven surfaces. 

On that score, and because the 

evaluation car had seen some 

loose surface travel, I drove along 

the shingle tracks that run parallel 

to the Waimakariri River and 

experienced a soft, controlled 

ride. You can certainly feel the 

suspension absorbing the uneven 

surfaces, and on a slippery, gentle 

incline the driveline can be felt 

working to keep wheelspin at bay. 

Most of all, the Outback’s ability 

to cocoon the occupants with 

a sublime ride is pretty much 

a miracle and is testament to 

those who have developed the 

spring and damper rates. I know 

Subaru’s association with German 

USER-FRIENDLY: Large screen and icons make using the 

Outback’s display console easy. 

SUBARU OUTBACK: Capable when tackling the high country goat tracks. 

shock absorber company Bilstein 

has paid dividends over the years, 

today’s Outback capitalises on 

that development. 

There is little trade-off when 

cruising the highway. The soft 

ride could suggest on-road handling 

would be jeopardised, that’s 

not the case, even at 1675mm tall 

the Outback doesn’t lean awkwardly 

and gravitational movement 

is well arrested. 

Much of the Outback’s overall 

handling prowess must be put 

down to the quality of the tyres. 

The Bridgestone Alenza’s (225/60 

x 18in) are a new compound to 

me and, although they can’t be 

described as deep-treaded as 

you would expect for an off-road 

vehicle, they have a pattern that 

copes well on all surfaces, they 

are quiet and provide much information 

to the steering wheel. 

The loading in a corner is 

well-weighted, the entire vehicle 

is fully directional. I like vehicles 

that give you confidence through 

the steering and suspension, the 

Outback’s front-strut/rear-double 

wishbone system is fully informative, 

the messages the driver receives 

are very much confidenceboosting. 

There’s also a bit of a surprise 

under the bonnet, Subaru has introduced 

an almost entirely new 

engine. Well the boxer design is 

the same as before and it’s much 

the same capacity – a 2.5-litre. It’s 

a four-cylinder unit I’ve long had 

an affinity for. 

Developing 138kW and 

245Nm, the horizontally-opposed 

unit is punchy and torquey, delivering 

with a distinctive sound 

• Price – Subaru Outback 

Touring, $57,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4870mm; width, 1875mm; 

height, 1675mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder 

(boxer), fourwheel-drive, 

2498cc, 

138kW, 245Nm, 

continuously variable 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.3l/100km 

that lets you know there is something 

special sitting up front. 

Drive is directed through a 

continuously variable transmission, 

one which Subaru has 

constantly developed to the 

point where it feels much like a 

traditional automatic. However, 

it has the advantage of a direct 

transfer of power, there is nothing 

lost through the transmission. 

Consequently, the Outback feels 

sprightly, there’s no obvious feel 

of weight within the car, even 

though it comes in at 1661kg. 

Acceleration is strong, the Outback 

will reach 100km/h from a 

standstill in 9sec, and it will lunge 

through a highway overtake (80- 

120km/h) in 6sec. 

On the subject of figures, 

Subaru must be well satisfied 

with the fuel usage figures in 

the newcomer. It is listed with 

a 7.3l/100km combined cycle 

average. That’s achievable, when 

I took the evaluation car back to 

the dealership the internal readout 

was showing 9l/100km, that 

aided by a thrifty 4.7l/100km instantaneous 

readout at 100km/h 

(engine speed 1500rpm). 

The new Outback is available 

in three variants, all with the 

same driveline. The series starts 

at $49,990, the evaluation car 

was the range-topping Touring 

at $57,490; in-between there is a 

$54,990 X model. 

The Touring wants for nothing, 

it is a plush, luxury vehicle with 

all the trimmings for comfort and 

convenience. Full leather trim, 

paddle-shifters, clever Eyesight 

safety system, SI drive intelligent 

drive modes, Harman Kardon 

audio and heated and electrically 

adjustable seats are all fitted. 

I particularly like the large 

central console display. It’s about 

as big as any I’ve seen previously 

in any car and it makes reading 

and touching the icons so very 

easy. The system displays are 

deep and comprehensive, all 

of these factors contributing to 

why I rate the Outback as a full 

luxury car market contender, yet 

it offers so much more in terms 

of ability. 

As much as I enjoyed the 

Outback, the Touring model 

would be a little out of my reach. 

However, my wife has been easily 

convinced that the XV is the 

Subaru for us as we look towards 

retirement. 

Subaru’s philosophy and 

direction is proving to be a 

winning combination, from 

where I sit I can say without any 

hesitation that interest is growing 

strongly, drawing people to the 

brand, and its fine vehicles like 

the Outback and its stablemates 

that are doing that.

Public Notice Public Notice Public Notice 

Notification of an Errata to the 

Summary of Submissions on the 

notified Proposed Selwyn District Plan 

Clause 7 of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991 

Date of public notice: Monday 31 May 2021 

Selwyn District Council gives notice of an Errata to the Summary of Submissions, and calls for further submissions on the errata 

submission points only. 

About the Errata to the Summary of Submissions 

On Monday 19 April 2021 Selwyn District Council publicly notified the Summary of Submissions on the Proposed Selwyn 

District Plan, and called for further submissions. After the close of the further submission period, the Council was made aware 

of omissions and minor errors in some of the summarised submission points. As a result, the Council is calling for further 

submissions on the errata submission points from Monday 31 May 2021. 

The Council has corrected affected submission points and they can be found in the Errata table. This notification only applies to 

submission points identified in the Errata table. Further submissions are therefore limited to matters in support of or in opposition 

to a submission point contained in the Errata table. All other parts of the Summary of Submission content remain unchanged and 

should be read in conjunction with the Errata table. 

The Errata table and Summary of Submissions, together with full copies of the original submissions, can be found on the 

Council’s website at www.selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview. You can also view this information online at Council libraries and 

service centres. 

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. 

· The local authority. 

How to make a submission 

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

· Download a PDF submission form at www.selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview, and: 

- email it to dprsubmissions@selwyn.govt.nz (Subject line: Proposed Selwyn District Plan Errata Further Submission) 

- post it to Selwyn District Council, Freepost 104 653, PO Box 90, Rolleston 7643, Attention: Proposed Selwyn District Plan Errata 

Further Submission 

- deliver it to a Council service centre in Darfield, Lincoln, Leeston or Rolleston. 

· Pick up a hard copy submission form at Council libraries and service centres. 

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

1991. Your submission must state whether you want to present your views at a Council hearing. 

The closing date for further submissions on submission points 

contained in the Errata table is 5pm on Monday 14 June 2021. 

Any person who lodges a further submission with the 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? 

· When the further submissions period closes, 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.

Your guide to all things Real Estate

Styling tips and tricks from 

an interior designer 

We’re all creative in some way but 

sometimes, expert help from an Interior 

Designer can be useful when it comes to 

styling your home. If you want to make 

your home feel a little more ‘you’, or if you 

need to give it an overhaul in preparation 

for sale, Interior Designer Bronwyn White 

says: “There are many elements that go 

into styling. What’s important is good 

communication with your designer; this 

helps identify your style and what works 

for you.” 

Themes 

Your home is a place to relax. But what 

suits one home might not work in another. 

Bronwyn says, “A quick way to determine 

what your style is, is collecting images 

online or from magazines to create a mood 

board of images that are pleasing to you. 

Analysing what’s pleasing helps develop 

your own sense of style. It might be a 

lounge setting, wall colour, or a textured 

cushion—these choices help build a 

story about you.” Once your style is clear, 

Bronwyn says you can carry that theme 

throughout the house creating visual 

harmony and connecting the spaces. 

Light play 

Lighting is one of the most important 

elements whether it’s a new build or an 

existing home, and you can do things 

to expand the space, or retract it, with 

light. Bronwyn says, “Good lighting can 

transform a room. Lamps in the corner 

of a room are a wonderful way of creating 

an illusion of space, lengthening the 

walls and at the same time creating deep 

connotations of warmth and comfort.” 

Some houses are limited with very few 

windows or natural light, but artificial 

lighting—hardwired or plug-in—can 

be planned to blend with your overall 

style. There are endless choices: task 

lighting, decorative, or accent lighting like 

downlights, are all available in small or 

large, white, black, and every colour under 

the sun, textures, patterns, even sculptural. 

Art & styling 

Art creates interest in a room whether 

you choose a statement piece as a talking 

point, or you fill the space and create a 

collection. But it’s also great for creating 

a calming influence over an interior. 

Bronwyn says, “it’s a way to showcase 

something that you love, something that 

mesmerises you—and make it the focal 

point of the room”. Art and styling also 

give you the opportunity to give a room 

a grander feeling. Whether you’ve gone 

for modern contemporary, industrial or a 

nautical theme, art can work in with your 

theme to develop it further. 

Texture 

Bronwyn explains, “Every surface has a 

texture, and we respond to each sensation 

or character of that texture. Currently 

on trend is Linen/Cotton or Linen fabric 

cushions and throws. Linen—a strong 

fibre with a soft lustre and a smooth 

textured surface—is a great addition to a 

lounge or family room. Other ways to add 

texture can be as simple as adding a rattan 

hanging pot-holder, a high pile rug, a 

throw or a cushion. Any of these will help 

combine a selection of textures and add 

interest to the space.” 

If you’re keen to test your styling 

prowess or just want to browse a great 

collection of pieces to finish off your 

home, head into Industria at Shop 15, 

9 Masefield Drive, Rolleston.
