Pressure goes on to<br />
change flyover site<br />
CONTROVERSY: The proposed flyover will connect residential Rolleston (left of State Highway 1) with the industrial<br />
area, bridging across the highway from Rolleston Drive North to Jones Rd north of the Hoskyns Rd intersection.<br />

MANY ROLLESTON residents<br />
want the town’s proposed<br />
flyover shifted to a different area<br />
of the highway.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport<br />
Agency design team members<br />
are facing key challenges as they<br />
consider community feedback on<br />
their Rolleston flyover project.<br />
It is proposed that the flyover<br />
bridge across State Highway<br />
1 would connect residential<br />
Rolleston, from Rolleston Drive<br />
North, with the industrial<br />
hub, at Jones Rd north of the<br />
Hoskyns Rd intersection.<br />
However, newly collated<br />
feedback shows many believe<br />
the bridge needs to be relocated.<br />
Suggested areas include some<br />
distance down the highway,<br />
at Rolleston Drive South or<br />
Tennyson St, while another<br />
suggestion is it be part of the<br />
highway, rather than go across it.<br />

Teenagers<br />
charged<br />
over car<br />
ramming<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
TWO TEENAGERS are<br />
appearing before the youth court<br />
in relation to incidents of parked<br />
cars being rammed in Lincoln<br />
earlier this year.<br />
Senior Sergeant Steph McDaniel<br />
said a 14 and a 15-year-old, a male<br />
and a female, were “still going<br />
through the court system”.<br />
Four youths, including the pair,<br />
all from the Selwyn area, were<br />
initially referred to Youth Aid.<br />
There was a spate of car thefts in<br />
the district involving more than<br />
10 vehicles, some of which were<br />
used to ram parked vehicles on the<br />
roadside for fun. In August, police<br />
reported speaking to a number of<br />
youths who were assisting them<br />
with their investigation.<br />
The Selwyn Times understands<br />
the teenagers were copycatting a<br />
social media trend in other parts<br />
of New Zealand, where groups of<br />
youths target cars, steal them and<br />
then brag about their exploits.<br />
In May, Taranaki police said a<br />
group of 30 teenagers had stolen<br />
more than 100 Mazdas, apparently<br />
inspired by the trend.<br />
At the time, police were working<br />
with Netsafe and the censor’s<br />
office to take down the content<br />
posted by teenagers, mostly to<br />
Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.<br />

the board was<br />

Thirty submissions received<br />
from the public consultation<br />
process were considered at a<br />
recent meeting of the board’s<br />
quality, finance, audit and risk<br />
committee.<br />
“Management were asked to<br />
review the previous modelling<br />
and assumptions to ascertain<br />
whether there are any future<br />
health requirements that could<br />
make use of the property in the<br />
future,” Maisey said.<br />
“Those investigations will be<br />
presented to the board for consideration<br />
at the next meeting<br />
in February, where we expect a<br />
decision on the property.”<br />
Maisey would not elaborate<br />
further on what potential future<br />
health requirements were being<br />
investigated, as the report would<br />
not be presented to the full<br />
board until its next meeting in<br />
February.<br />
In the case of a decision being<br />
made to dispose of the property,<br />
this would have to be done in<br />

Thirty million dollar care complex<br />
for Rolleston<br />
The Boulevard Lifestyle Village is excited about the new care<br />
facility they plan to build mid next year.<br />
Owner and village manager Karen Harris says it has taken quite<br />
some time in the design stage, working closely with Ikon architects<br />
to ensure facility meets all the needs of the community now and in<br />
the future.<br />
There will be 50 beds for hospital and rest home care plus a 10-bed<br />
memory impaired unit along with two palliative care suites and<br />
lounge. There will also be 20 care suites for hospital and rest home<br />
level care and 10 fully serviced apartments.<br />
The build will take anything from 18 months to two years and Karen<br />
says it cannot come soon enough. Grant from GE Construction will<br />
complete the build as he has done with all the villas.<br />
“This is a big project but exciting to think we are finally getting<br />
closer to commencement,” says Karen and adds, “along with the<br />
build there will be a new 800m 2 lodge for the villa residents. “<br />
This will provide enough capacity for the village villa residents on<br />
completion and provide bar, restaurant and café facilities along with<br />
a swim spa and gymnasium. There will be access to a hairdresser<br />
and beautician as well.<br />
The Boulevard Boutique Lifestyle Village<br />
The Boulevard now has 34 villas complete with four<br />
more in the building stages. The New Year will see the<br />
commencement of another 10 villas, which are all under<br />
contract, along with a further six as consents come<br />
through.<br />
The village will take possession of the adjoining five<br />
acres of land at the end of January and plan to start<br />
work on that property straight away.<br />
”We had a big waiting list for two-bedroom double<br />
garage villas and three-bedroom villas so will be building<br />
26 villas on that land,” says Karen. “All villas in that<br />
immediate build stage are under contract.”<br />

‘Pipe dream’ of turning historic hall into<br />
a museum gets a much-needed boost<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
HORORATA Historical Society<br />
members are closer to making<br />
their dream of relocating the<br />
society’s museum into reality.<br />
Currently, the museum is closed<br />
as borer and dampness have<br />
resulted in dangerous holes in its<br />
tongue-and-groove flooring.<br />
Chairman Robby Wilson said<br />
he welcomed the $20,000 allocation<br />
the district council had<br />
decided on this month, which<br />
would go towards a $50,000<br />
feasibility study on the cost of<br />
developing the 1896 Hororata<br />
Hall to house the museum.<br />
“It’s all a bit of a pipe dream in<br />
a way – trying to do something<br />
without any money, but if you<br />
don’t try, you don’t know,”<br />
Wilson said.<br />
The society has community<br />
support behind it. Go Hororata,<br />
a collective of community groups<br />
including the society, wrote a<br />
letter to Mayor Sam Broughton<br />
asking that the Hororata Hall<br />
and its land be put back into<br />
community ownership.<br />
Go Hororata chairman Craig<br />
Blackburn said in the letter<br />
residents had made it clear<br />
they wanted the building, once<br />
flagged for demolition, retained<br />
as part of the village’s cultural<br />
heritage.<br />
“Go Hororata will commit to<br />
improving this facility and giving<br />
it a new purpose,” Blackburn said.<br />
The $20,000 allocation was<br />
subsequently granted, from $1<br />
million set aside for the Hororata<br />
Community Centre project in<br />
the Long Term Plan.<br />
The society is applying for<br />
grants from other organisations<br />
in the hope of securing the<br />
remaining $30,000.<br />
Wilson said the Hororata Hall<br />
would make an ideal museum<br />
site, as it was in a busy part of the<br />
village, on its main road.<br />
“Every time you go through<br />
Hororata, you go past the hall,”<br />
Wilson said.<br />
Made of weatherboards, the<br />
hall has later additions which<br />
could be removed to reveal the<br />
original structure.<br />
“The hall is in pretty good<br />
shape, it just hasn’t been updated.<br />
Everything is older, but<br />
it’s very sound, even with the<br />
earthquake the floors are all<br />
good. The tongue-and-groove<br />
ceiling is magnificent.”<br />
The new site would allow the<br />
HISTORIC: The Hororata Hall was built in 1896. Today it is<br />
destined to house the village’s museum.<br />
society to do justice to its displays<br />
and stories, including those<br />
featuring the area’s early high<br />
profile residents such as former<br />
New Zealand Premier John Hall<br />
and 19th-century politician<br />
Samuel Bealey.<br />
Hororata was once a thriving<br />
town serving three large farming<br />
runs, with shops, pubs, joiners,<br />
undertakers and builders.<br />
Currently, the museum is<br />
located on a paper road in a<br />
relocated former racecourse<br />
totalisator building, next to the<br />
historic Cotons’ Cottage. The<br />
museum generally opens each<br />
summer season from September,<br />
but could not this year due to the<br />
floor damage.<br />
At its meeting this month, the<br />
district council agreed to discuss<br />
with Go Hororata its suggestion<br />
of placing the hall and its land<br />
back into community ownership.<br />
It will also discuss with the group<br />
its hopes of funding and running<br />
its own community centre, with<br />
the council contributing to the<br />
operation costs.<br />
Go Hororata members were<br />
disappointed with a scaled-down<br />
$3 million community centre<br />
proposal, which the district<br />
council included in its Long<br />
Term Plan earlier this year.<br />

cut out the driver, believed to be in his 20s.<br />
The driver’s refrigerated milk delivery<br />
vehicle had gone off the side of Springs<br />
Rd while travelling towards Christchurch<br />
about 5am on Thursday, into a low ditch<br />
and a large hedge.<br />
Deputy chief Roger McLenaghen said<br />
it appeared the hedge had cushioned the<br />
impact.<br />
St John treated the driver at the scene for<br />
a minor injury.<br />
“It was still enough force to crush the<br />
cab back onto him,” McLenaghen said.<br />
The man’s right foot was trapped,<br />
preventing him from getting out of the<br />
vehicle on his own, and the steering wheel<br />
was touching against his abdomen.<br />
Firefighters spent about 15 minutes<br />
cutting the hedge away so they could gain<br />
access. They were then able to cut into the<br />
A pillar of the cab, so they could pull the<br />
front off, and remove part of the steering<br />
wheel, enabling the man to climb out the<br />
passenger door and be seen by waiting<br />
paramedics.<br />
“I think he was still a bit shocked, he<br />
was quite happy to be out,” McLenaghen<br />
said.<br />

Second round of feedback<br />
sought for flyover proposal<br />
• From page 1<br />
The roading authority last week released<br />
the feedback in a community engagement<br />
report, summarising responses from consultation<br />
undertaken in July and August.<br />
There were 875 online map comments, 28<br />
feedback form submissions and 77 email/<br />
letter submissions.<br />
Concerns from residents highlighted the<br />
key challenges the design team was now<br />
working through, the report said.<br />
These concerns included that State<br />
Highway 1 should remain open at multiple<br />
points at Rolleston and the connection to<br />
Jones Rd should remain for southbound<br />
traffic.<br />
Jones Rd businesses have opposed the<br />
current plan as it reduces accessibility<br />
from the highway. West Rolleston Primary<br />
School has opposed it, concerned about<br />
increased traffic resulting from making<br />
Dunns Crossing Rd a southern entrance<br />
into the town. The district council has also<br />
rung alarm bells, saying it gives rise to new<br />
safety concerns, disadvantages businesses<br />
and does not support growth and prosperity.<br />
“Along with community feedback, we<br />
are taking time to closely examine again<br />
whether we have tested and exhausted all<br />
PLAN: The flyover proposes<br />
improvements to the Jones and<br />
Hoskyns Rds intersection.<br />
the options available to us. This is the value<br />
community engagement brings to the<br />
planning process and the project,” a Waka<br />
Kotahi spokesperson said upon release of<br />
the report.<br />
The next step is offering the community<br />
a second opportunity for feedback,<br />
expected in the first half of 20<strong>22</strong>.<br />
Waka Kotahi is delivering the project<br />
as part of the New Zealand Upgrade<br />
Programme, an $8.7 billion investment<br />
by Government in growing communities<br />
across the country.<br />

intersection upgrade<br />
Major upgrades to the Tennyson Street/Rolleston Drive intersection will<br />
begin in the new year to replace the existing roundabout with traffic lights.<br />
From Monday 10 January<br />
Rolleston Drive will be one way westbound (towards New World). The<br />
one-way restrictions will be in place until these works are completed,<br />
which is expected to be in late April, weather permitting.<br />
Tennyson Street will be closed either side of the intersection for five<br />
weeks. From mid-February this section will be open to a one-way system<br />

Helping each<br />
other through<br />
COVID-19<br />
With more cases of COVID-19 in the community, it’s possible you and your whānau<br />
will be exposed to the virus. To make sure you’re ready, have a plan in case you or<br />
someone in your house tests positive and needs to isolate.<br />
Everyone who tests positive for COVID-19, and those who live with them, will need to<br />
isolate for at least 10 days to stop the spread of the virus. If someone else in your house<br />
tests positive for COVID-19, they’ll be advised how much longer they need to isolate.<br />
Make a plan<br />
If you’re travelling and away from home, know how you will<br />
get home or self isolate where you are.<br />
While isolating, you will need to have all of your food and<br />
necessities delivered. You cannot go to work, school, church<br />
or any community or private events or gatherings. No one<br />
outside of the people you live with can visit or enter the home.<br />
Most fully-vaccinated people with COVID-19 are likely to have<br />
a mild to moderate illness and will fully recover at home.<br />
Who can help out<br />
Be prepared in case you’re exposed to COVID-19. Speak with<br />
a neighbour, friend, or whānau about the support you could<br />
need. For instance, dropping off food and supplies, and help<br />
with activities outside the house. Being ready is about people,<br />
conversations, connections and knowing what to do, so your<br />
whānau and community can help each other when needed.<br />
Support while isolating<br />
It’s normal to feel anxious about isolating with COVID-19.<br />
You’ll have a support person who will contact you often<br />
to check that you and your whānau are safe and supported<br />
– even if you’re travelling and away from home. You will also<br />
get a telephone number for 24-hour health support.<br />
If you need more help or support to manage at home,<br />
you can access a COVID-19 welfare line.<br />
What you’ll need<br />
To help you get through, you will need to have food,<br />
medications and supplies available to you. Find a detailed<br />
checklist to help you prepare at Covid19.govt.nz/prepare<br />
Check what support is available for self-isolating at home<br />

Wednesday <strong>December</strong> <strong>22</strong> <strong>2021</strong> Selwyn Times<br />
Regarding the article in<br />
the Selwyn Times (Dec 15)<br />
on pokie machines.<br />
The appropriate number<br />
of pokie machines in<br />
Selwyn district is zero.<br />
Pokie machines are<br />
a scourge on society,<br />
particularly for those with<br />
gambling addictions.<br />
Research over the years<br />
has clearly established that<br />
most of the money poured<br />
into pokie machines<br />
comes from those who<br />
can’t afford it, or from the<br />
proceeds of crime.<br />
I acknowledge that a<br />
portion of the proceeds are<br />
given out to sports clubs,<br />
schools and community<br />
projects but it’s not appropriate<br />
for those groups to<br />
receive funding from such<br />
a dirty little secret.<br />
There are more<br />
appropriate methods of<br />
fundraising that can be<br />
used to provide funding<br />
to worthy groups in the<br />
community.<br />
Our district council and<br />
central government need<br />
to step up to the plate and<br />
rid society of these nasty<br />
little machines. – Frank<br />
Dowle, Weedons<br />
Three Waters<br />
It was good to see<br />
pushback by way of<br />
the open letter dated<br />
November 26 from our<br />
district council to Minister<br />
Nanaia Mahuta on Three<br />
Waters, the underlying<br />
issue being one of trust in<br />
that she had made the allin<br />
decision last June while<br />
telling district councils<br />
that they still had choices<br />
to be in or out. Hard to<br />
believe the Government<br />
Cabinet was not complicit<br />
in this ruse.<br />
It was pleasing also that<br />
the district council wrote<br />
direct to the minister rather<br />
than through that now<br />
powerless and conflicted<br />
Local Government NZ<br />
that purport to represent<br />
councils.<br />
I am not sure, however,<br />
I agree with our council’s<br />
claim that it goes to great<br />
lengths to seek ratepayer<br />
participation given latency<br />
of flow of known information<br />
and few if any direct<br />
community discussions<br />
where factual information<br />
could be shared and<br />
debated.<br />
The letter does seem contradictory<br />
in that on one<br />
hand the district council is<br />
saying that all is good with<br />
water within Selwyn and<br />
on the other suggesting yet<br />
another organisation with<br />
all attendant costs.<br />
With local body elections<br />
scheduled for 20<strong>22</strong>,<br />
LETTERS 11<br />
No place for pokie machines<br />
POLICE ARE hoping a<br />
suspect’s distinctive red<br />
and white hooded jacket<br />
helps identify them, after<br />
about $100 was stolen from<br />
Lincoln Chinese Takeaway<br />
on Gerald St.<br />
“Somebody may know<br />
who that jacket belongs to,”<br />
Constable Ian McKinney<br />
said.<br />
McKinney is appealing<br />
to anyone who may have<br />
information on the identity<br />
of the suspect to get in<br />
touch with police.<br />
The suspect was captured<br />
shortly before 4am on<br />
<strong>December</strong> 9 on CCTV<br />
at the store. The door<br />
was jemmied open in the<br />
burglary, where the money<br />
was taken from the store’s<br />
till.<br />
We want to hear your views<br />
on the issues affecting life<br />
in the Selwyn district<br />
ratepayers will have this<br />
matter front of mind when<br />
considering who is the best<br />
fit to support ratepayers in<br />
this seemingly cost-plus<br />
environment. – Ian Lees,<br />
Darfield<br />
Freedom of<br />
choice<br />
I think that as a<br />
government-controlled<br />
identity, the district<br />
council is weak.<br />
Just as Jacinda has her<br />
strings pulled, they do too.<br />
There are far more<br />
people than they realise,<br />
who refuse to be jabbed,<br />
because of hearsay.<br />
They are just trying to<br />
take our freedom of choice<br />
away, but in the end it’s the<br />
providers that lose. – Barry<br />
Saunders, Lincoln<br />

letterbox’s Christmasy transformation.<br />

Reindeer tops best mailbox<br />

SANTA AND his reindeer are almost<br />
postmen, and it is this feeling of<br />
camaraderie that led the RD2 rural<br />
delivery team to their choice for the area’s<br />
best-decorated letterbox.<br />
This year, the Christmas competition<br />
was won by a glitzy Motukarara letterbox<br />
dressed to look like a reindeer, with a pintsized<br />
Santa perched on top.<br />
RD2 Christchurch Rural Delivery<br />
co-owner Sophie Styles said it was the<br />
second year the competition was held, and<br />
this year about 40 letterboxes had been<br />
decorated.<br />
“The letterboxes always put a smile on<br />
SPARKLY: Even a bus<br />
stop, on Duck Pond Rd at<br />
Motukarara, was decorated<br />
for the competition.<br />
my face, every single day,” Styles said.<br />
“Everyone made a lot more of an effort<br />
this year, which is really cool to see.”<br />
The letterboxes had drawn plenty of<br />
comment, she said.<br />
Styles and the five other RD2 team<br />
members struggled to decide on a winner,<br />
as there was strong competition.<br />
“The reason we’ve gone for the winner<br />
. . . is [the reindeer] represents what we do<br />
– we deliver mail.”<br />
Several mailboxes were set to receive a<br />
special delivery – for the winner, a family<br />
voucher for the He Puna Taimoana<br />
Hot Pools in New Brighton, and for<br />
the four runners-up, a big bag of<br />
cookies each.<br />
Bees essential to ecosystem<br />
BEES PROVIDE an<br />
extremely essential<br />
ecosystem service to<br />
humans, pollinating plants<br />
that produce seeds and<br />
fruit.<br />
Honeybees are the<br />
masters of pollination given<br />
their impressive colony<br />
size, ability to work on a<br />
large diversity of flower<br />
species and our ability to<br />
transport their hives where<br />
we want them.<br />
Bumblebees were also<br />
introduced to New Zealand<br />
for red clover and their<br />
large size allows them to<br />
work in cooler and windier<br />
conditions than smaller<br />
bees.<br />
There are 13 introduced<br />
and 28 native bee species in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
A native species<br />
photographed recently<br />
on my raspberries was<br />
identified as the Māori<br />
masked bee, Hylaeus<br />
relegatus.<br />
This bee is almost<br />
completely black apart<br />
from yellow parts of its<br />
face, with the male having<br />
more yellow and the<br />
female. Females are also<br />
slightly larger, with an<br />
average length of 7.8mm,<br />
while males average<br />
6.5mm.<br />
The species is found<br />
throughout New Zealand,<br />
Chatham Islands and Three<br />
Kings Islands.<br />
Most collections of<br />
this species have been in<br />
<strong>December</strong> to February, but<br />
they have been recorded<br />
from October to April.<br />
Host plants include flax,<br />
cabbage trees, kanuka,<br />
manuka, pohutukawa, rata,<br />
Raoulia, Carmichaelia,<br />
eight species of Hebe and<br />
11 exotic species.<br />
Nests have been recorded<br />
in natural sites such as in<br />
native plants, in holes made<br />
by other insects and in<br />
man-made holes.<br />
Local bee expert Barry<br />
Donovan suggests in his<br />
Fauna of New Zealand<br />
book (issue on bees) that<br />
availability of suitable nest<br />
holes may be a limiting<br />
factor for this species.<br />
Hylaeus relegatus have<br />
been found nesting in 6mm<br />
diameter holes drilled in<br />
wood, so this may be a way<br />
to encourage them into<br />
your backyard.<br />

Gateway<br />
Work Experience<br />
Programme<br />
The Gateway Programme provides students with<br />
structured workplace learning, across a range of<br />
industries and businesses, while they continue to<br />
study at school.<br />
Students are given the opportunity to ‘test drive’<br />
their career choices, while gaining valuable real<br />
experience learning. Gateway gives the students<br />
confidence to make a smooth transition from<br />
school to work. The Gateway programme requires that<br />
students complete a minimum of 20 industry based credits.<br />
This year, the Gateway programme has grown from placements for 11 students<br />
to placements for 30 students. Off the back of this success, we are applying for<br />
funding for additional placements for next year.<br />

SPORT<br />
Easy win for<br />
Darfield<br />
to retain<br />
top position<br />
SODDEN GROUNDS meant<br />
only one match was possible in<br />
Canterbury country’s premier<br />
one-day competition before the<br />
Christmas break, and Darfield took<br />
full advantage of helpful conditions<br />
to consolidate their lead.<br />
Ohoka hosted Darfield at Mandeville,<br />
a traditionally fast drying<br />
ground, but the pitch was still<br />
destined to assist the seam attack,<br />
prompting the visitors to bowl first<br />
after winning the toss on Saturday.<br />
Teenage pace bowler Zac Foulkes<br />
justified the decision immediately,<br />
skittling the competition’s leading<br />
run scorer, former New Zealand<br />
under-19 representative Rhys Mariu<br />
for a golden duck.<br />
Foulkes, 19, dismissed four of<br />
Ohoka’s top-five en route to superb<br />
figures of 5/11 from seven overs.<br />
Ohoka were routed for 47 in 21.3<br />
overs, veteran Paul Miller (19 from<br />
42 balls) provided the only resistance.<br />
Darfield needed just seven overs<br />
to reach 49/1, opener Foulkes<br />
ensured the chase would be brief by<br />
cracking 23 from 17 deliveries.<br />
The competition resumes on<br />
January 8.<br />
Points after nine rounds: Darfield<br />

GOALKEEPERS are vocal by<br />
nature and necessity, though<br />
Pieter-Taco Bierema wasn’t<br />
exactly talking up his MVP<br />
award.<br />
The Selwyn United shotstopper<br />
was accorded most<br />
valuable player status following<br />
the Rolleston-based club’s<br />
winless National League –<br />
South Central Series –<br />
campaign, at first glance a<br />
curious call for a team that<br />
conceded 15 goals.<br />
Bierema was between the<br />
sticks in each of United’s five<br />
games and admitted he was<br />
taken aback to be chosen.<br />
“It was a surprise, you<br />
wouldn’t have picked it.<br />
Goalkeepers don’t often get<br />
these awards, especially when<br />
you’re the keeper that’s probably<br />
conceded the most goals in the<br />
competition,” he said.<br />
Actually Wellington<br />
Olympic’s Toby Hunt was<br />
beaten 16 times, although he did<br />
play one extra game, and it was<br />
humbling as Miramar Rangers<br />
blitzed the final 7-2.<br />
Bierema, who is spending<br />
the off-season in another type<br />

Goalkeeper surprised at<br />
most valuable player award<br />
MVP A KEEPER: Selwyn United goalkeeper Pieter-Taco<br />
Bierema was surprised to be named named the most<br />
valuable player in the National League – South Central<br />
Series competition.<br />
– was eager to palm off the<br />
achievement to a hard-working<br />
defensive unit in front of him.<br />
“A lot of teams got frustrated,<br />
thinking they should be doing<br />
better against us than they<br />
were,” he said.<br />
“We didn’t have a lot of the<br />
ball to play with, we defended a<br />
lot. I suppose that’s recognition<br />
for that.”<br />
So might the team have<br />
conceded, say, 30 without<br />
him? “I don’t know,” Bierema<br />
laughed.<br />
The high point of Selwyn’s<br />
first foray in a domestic league<br />
competition was a 2-2 draw with<br />
Rangers in their final game, a<br />
result more precious than any<br />
MVP gong for Bierema.<br />
“That was huge for us not to<br />
leave it with a big donut and<br />
zero points, five losses from five<br />
games,” he said.<br />
Selwyn United’s resurgence<br />
throughout <strong>2021</strong> was also a<br />
greater cause for celebration<br />
after the men’s first team diced<br />
with demotion from Mainland<br />
Football’s premiership last<br />
season.<br />
“Last year fighting<br />
relegation, no one probably<br />
expected us to be in the<br />
Southern League, let alone the<br />
South Central Series,” said<br />
Bierema, who is yet to receive a<br />
trophy or certificate from New<br />
Zealand Football.<br />
“Nothing’s turned up in the<br />
mail yet. I’d have thought they<br />
might send out a little trophy,<br />
but I have no idea.”

Tennyson Street Rolleston Drive<br />
intersection upgrade<br />
Major upgrades to the Tennyson Street/Rolleston Drive intersection will begin in the new year to<br />
install traffic signals at the intersection and other upgrades.<br />
This work will require some temporary road closures and one-way lanes while the work is completed.<br />
From Monday 10 January<br />
· Rolleston Drive will be one-way westbound. The one-way restrictions will be in place until these<br />
upgrades are completed, which is expected to be in late April, weather permitting.<br />
· Tennyson Street will be closed either side of the intersection for five weeks. From mid-February –<br />
weather permitting – this section will be open to a one-way system southbound (towards Lincoln).<br />
From Sunday 16 January<br />
· The intersection will be closed from 9pm–6am daily for about two weeks.<br />
Signed detours will be in place and temporary safe access for pedestrians and cyclists will be<br />
maintained throughout works. Temporary bus stops will be in place on Rolleston Drive and Lowes<br />
Road for the affected bus stops for the 820, 85 and 5 bus routes.<br />
Along with the new traffic signals the upgrade will include a new lane layout with right hand<br />
turning traffic lanes and cycle lanes, linking to the pathways recently installed to the north on<br />
Tennyson Street, along with signal crossings for bicycles and for pedestrians.<br />
Rolleston Drive, west of Tennyson Street as far as the Rolleston Community Centre, will be<br />
upgraded to improve access to the future Rolleston town centre.<br />
Thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.<br />

Battery recycling programme<br />
launches in Selwyn<br />
The Council and E-Cycle have partnered up to bring a battery<br />
recycling programme to Selwyn.<br />
It will be the first easily accessible battery recycling programme<br />
across the district covering everything from laptop, smartphone and<br />
tool batteries to batteries for common household devices.<br />
The free recycling programme will divert batteries from landfill – with<br />
batteries previously being either disposed of as rubbish in kerbside<br />
bins, or taken to the Pines Resource Recovery Park for disposal as<br />
hazardous waste.<br />
New World supermarkets are supporting the initiative with drop off<br />
points at New World Rolleston, and New World Lincoln, as well as<br />
at the Darfield Library and Service Centre and the Pines Resource<br />
Recovery Park. The Ministry for the Environment has assisted with<br />
some of the initial set up and processing costs.<br />
Council Solid Waste Manager Andrew Boyd says it is another<br />
opportunity to make a difference with our waste and to improve<br />
our environment.<br />
“It’s great to have support from Kiwi companies and to make the<br />
most of international technology to help our community recycle<br />
these batteries and keep them out of landfill.<br />
Thousands of tonnes of batteries are imported into Aotearoa New<br />
Zealand every year.<br />
As the demand for battery-powered devices increases, it is<br />
increasingly important we maximise recycling and recovering these<br />
resources by keeping them out of landfill.”<br />
Improper battery disposal is also a fire risk in kerbside collection<br />
trucks and at the recovery park, he says.<br />
The batteries will be sent for recycling in Australia – where 70-90% of<br />
each battery is recycled into new batteries or ingredients in roading<br />
mixes and fertilisers. Nickel-cadmium and Lithium-ion batteries are<br />
forwarded to a specialist recycling plant in South Korea.<br />
The service accepts household quantities of the following<br />
battery types:<br />
· Lithium-ion (used in laptops, mobile phones, tools)<br />
· Alkaline, drycell and zinc (used in flashlights, radios, remote<br />
controls, smoke detectors)<br />
· Button cell/coin (used in watches, hearing aids)<br />
· Nickel-cadmium (used in portable electronics, tools, toys)<br />
· Nickel-metal hydride (used in digital cameras, laptops,<br />
mobile phones)<br />

Opportunity for more young people to blaze a trail<br />
A Council internship programme to help young people into work is already having an impact just weeks<br />
after the first intake.<br />
The first six interns for the Council’s Trailblazers internship have graduated with two interns already<br />
getting into full-time employment thanks to the programme.<br />
Trailblazers is a collaboration by the Council and Youth Pathways, with support from the Ministry of<br />
Social Development (MSD) for people who are unemployed or working less than 30 hours a week.<br />
It includes 25 hours of placement hours with the Council including working in libraries, the Selwyn<br />
Sports Centre and events planning.<br />
The programme also focuses on fitness and health, cultural wellbeing and exploration, and life skills<br />
development. It includes presentations from a number of guest speakers in local business.<br />
Two of the interns gained full-time employment following the six-week work readiness course<br />
including placement, while others are actively seeking employment in Selwyn.<br />
Council Community Services and Facilities Group Manager Denise Kidd says it was great to see the<br />
success for the first intake and the Council is excited to see the continued impact of the programme<br />
over the next year.<br />
“We’ve tested and refined the programme over this intake and it’s been fantastic to see how the interns<br />
enjoyed their time and how positive they were about the benefits. Local government is a great place to<br />
work and it really does improve community life. Skills and experiences gained through these roles are<br />
also hugely relevant to a wide range of other jobs in the community.”<br />
Applications are now open for Intake 2 which starts on Monday 14 February 20<strong>22</strong>. Applications close on<br />
Friday 31 <strong>December</strong> <strong>2021</strong>. Information on the programme can be found at selwyn.govt.nz/trailblazers.<br />
Applications can be sent to trailblazers@selwyn.govt.nz or dropped off at any of our service centres.<br />
Businesses interested in knowing more about the graduate interns or who want to be involved in the<br />
programme can email trailblazers@selwyn.govt.nz. MSD is also happy to talk with local businesses and<br />
potential employers about subsidies and benefits that may be available.<br />

I love serving as the Mayor of our incredible district, full of passionate, creative and flexible people and<br />
families who look out for one another.<br />
Although Covid has forced us to cancel or downscale many memory-making opportunities, I’m proud of<br />
the individuals and businesses who continue to achieve great things in Waikirikiri Selwyn.<br />
Next year will bring new challenges and opportunities so let’s be mindful of our own head-space and<br />
how our thoughts and actions are building or hindering ourselves and those around us.<br />
As we come to the start of a new year perhaps we need to stop something that wears us down and<br />
start something that lifts our wellbeing. This year I stopped eating so much sugar and started eating<br />
more fish, I am trying to stop measuring my worth by what others tell me and have started yoga, I have<br />
stopped listening to the radio and started listening to more books.<br />
I am feeling ready for Christmas and summer.<br />
I’m looking forward to cricket, afternoons at<br />
the river, an ice cream or two, food from the<br />
BBQ and sitting in the shade on a hot day and<br />
enjoying time with Liz and Elliott. This Christmas<br />
I hope you can take time to focus on the things<br />
you hold dear, coming together with family and<br />
friends, traveling somewhere new or revisiting<br />
your favourite spot and treating yourself.<br />
Meri Kirihimete, Merry Christmas<br />

Is it time to replace your business<br />
vehicle or machinery? Do you need<br />
freedom of choice to allow you to think<br />
and plan longer-term in your business?<br />
Maintaining a certain level of cash<br />
requires planning and may require<br />
outside money to help preserve your cash<br />
position. MTF Finance Rolleston is a local<br />
business that provides capital to fund<br />
vehicles, machinery, plant and equipment<br />
for personal and business customers.<br />
While many companies are centralising<br />
their operations, MTF Finance has chosen<br />
the opposite and aims to be available<br />
locally. As one of the 48 nationwide MTF<br />
Finance franchises, Dan Groundwater<br />
opened MTF Finance Rolleston in June<br />
<strong>2021</strong> at 817 Jones Road. Being available<br />
locally, Dan says, “You can actually walk<br />
in the door and talk to the person making<br />
the decisions.”<br />
With over ten years of banking and<br />
financial experience, including working<br />
in London, Dan is the face behind MTF<br />
Finance Rolleston. As a business owner,<br />
he understands the challenges businesses<br />
face. Dan is down-to-earth and keen to<br />
‘keep things real’ with his professional and<br />
friendly nature. His extensive knowledge<br />
of banking and its processes enables him<br />
to facilitate efficient service to customers<br />
looking for funding. He is personally<br />
invested in each client and builds a<br />
relationship with them to understand<br />
their business needs, with a firm belief<br />
in fairness and tailoring loans to suit<br />
individual circumstances.<br />
With careful consideration of a<br />
customer’s needs and situation, Dan can<br />
usually have the loan approved and funds<br />
forwarded within the day (subject to<br />
responsible lending enquiries and checks).<br />
Dan doesn’t look to make things fit a<br />
specific box but instead looks at the whole<br />
picture and uses lateral thinking to meet<br />
his clients’ needs best.<br />
Dan is available to provide help and<br />
information about funding and accessing<br />
capital to help businesses grow. MTF<br />
Finance Rolleston is about “locals helping<br />
locals”, and Dan is available anytime to<br />
talk about the upcoming plans for your<br />
business and can provide funding for<br />
business vehicles, machinery, plant and<br />
equipment.<br />
To discuss your business needs,<br />
visit Dan at 817 Jones Road, Rolleston<br />
or contact him on 027 503 6104 or<br />
mtf.co.nz/Rolleston. Offer of finance<br />
is subject to terms, conditions, lending<br />
criteria, responsible lending inquiries<br />
and checks. See mtf.co.nz/terms for<br />

MY PRIDE AND JOY<br />
Trillo Metals 32nd<br />
Muscle Car Madness<br />
Rangiora A&P Showgrounds Jan <strong>22</strong>nd and 23rd<br />
The Canterbury car scene, along with<br />
the rest of the country, appears to have<br />
become non-existent with most being<br />
cancelled or at best postponed for long<br />
periods. Our own Rolleston Motorfest was<br />
canned along with the Hanmer Springs<br />
and Cromwell events; even the Vintage<br />
Car Club lost its swap meet for another<br />
year. At this stage, Methven is on just after<br />
Xmas.<br />
The good news is that Trillo Metals<br />
Muscle Car Madness is a happening thing<br />
under the passport system, a requirement<br />
of the A&P Association who own the<br />
venue. Public days are Saturday, January<br />
<strong>22</strong>nd and 23rd from 9am to 4pm. Entry<br />
is $20 per adult with under 16 years free,<br />
and a discount two-day pass (public hours<br />
only) is just $30.<br />
Thousands of cars will be on display,<br />
including over 200 cars from the North<br />
Island. It appears that due to not being<br />
able to jump on a plane and travel<br />
overseas for that long-awaited holiday,<br />
people have been spending up ‘big time’<br />
on new toys. These include motorcycles,<br />
boats and collector cars - including hot<br />
rods and muscle cars.<br />
Large numbers arriving include 53<br />
people from Toy Shed in Rotorua, another<br />
50 or so from Bay Rodders in Tauranga,<br />
Mac’s speed, Rocket speed equipment<br />
and large contingents from Palmy and<br />
Wellington.<br />
Local Rolleston man Ian Paki<br />
debuted his 1963 Pontiac<br />
Catalina at last year’s show.<br />

32nd YEAR<br />
Pete Schmanski is bringing his eightsecond<br />
nitro-burning 1934 Ford coupe,<br />
Garth Hogan hopes to bring his 1334<br />
roadster salt car along, which ran over 190<br />
mph on Bonneville. This car is believed to<br />
be the world’s fastest flathead V8. A lot of<br />
new top cars will debut at this show.<br />
Trillo Metals Muscle Car Madness is<br />
one of the top three shows in the country<br />
and a major drawcard for Rangiora. The<br />
town was unable to run the A&P show,<br />
the rodeo never went ahead either, and the<br />
great thing about our show is that it brings<br />
over four million dollars into the Rangiora<br />
community.<br />
The rockabilly show is extremely<br />
popular and has classes for all ages,<br />
including the real littlies. This event kicks<br />
off on Saturday at noon, followed by<br />
the Stadium Finance burnout comp at<br />
approximately 1.30 pm, with finals held on<br />
Sunday. At this stage, Greg Murphy will be<br />
a guest judge.<br />
The first official event is the ‘Twin<br />
Towns’ on Thursday night, starting in the<br />
main street of Rangiora and then heading<br />
out to Kaiapoi - Real Steel Riverton<br />
(Invercargill) sponsor the event. Around<br />
300 cars usually attend this run. Friday<br />
is the Classic Cover Insurance Great<br />
Summer Fun run out to Ashley Gorge for<br />
lunch.<br />
The main show is on Saturday and<br />
Sunday. If you have a showable classic,<br />
please put it on display - entry is through<br />
gate one but if the arena is full, go to gate<br />
two.<br />

Mercedes powers<br />
into EV market<br />
THE WINNER of last year’s<br />
New Zealand Motoring<br />
Writers’ Guild Car of the<br />
Year went to Mercedes-<br />
Benz’s EQC 400.<br />
What was most significant<br />
about that mantle is the<br />
EQC is fully electric, it’s a<br />
plug-in.<br />
In the context of things,<br />
nothing about that is<br />
surprising. For one, the<br />
EQC is a worthy winner,<br />
it’s a mighty fine sport<br />
utility vehicle and an<br />
advance in technological<br />
engineering, while for the<br />
other, Mercedes-Benz has<br />
indicated it is expecting all of<br />
its vehicles to be electric by<br />
2030, that’s the direction the<br />
company his heading.<br />
How delays in this<br />
process, caused by the havoc<br />
Covid-19 has created, is<br />
anyone’s guess, but I can<br />
report that the second<br />
full-electric Mercedes-<br />
Benz is now available and<br />
it is a finalist in this year’s<br />
NZMWG Car of the Year.<br />
Voting will be completed<br />
in February and the winner<br />
announced then.<br />
The EQA, as its<br />
nomenclature suggests, is<br />
based on the concept and<br />
size of GLA and it is available<br />
here in just one variation,<br />
that being designated 250.<br />
The EQA 250 drives to the<br />
front wheels only, if you want<br />
another electric motor sitting<br />
at the rear axle so that fourwheel-drive<br />
can be initiated<br />
you’ll have to wait for the<br />
EQA 350 when it lands here<br />
in the second quarter next<br />
year.<br />
For the technically minded<br />
the EQC is driven by a<br />
single electric motor that<br />
sits transversely under the<br />
bonnet. Power is transferred<br />
by a fully automatic<br />
transmission which does<br />
have pre-set steps that can<br />
be manually manipulated<br />
through a steering wheelmounted<br />
paddle shift<br />
system, should you wish<br />
to take command over the<br />
driveline.<br />
Mercedes-Benz rates the<br />
electric motor with 140kW<br />
of power and a healthy<br />
375Nm of torque. Take into<br />
account that both those<br />
figures are available from<br />
zero revolutions, when the<br />
accelerator is pressed you<br />
get all that energy on tap.<br />
Consequently, the EQA feels<br />
strong from a standstill, it<br />
will launch to 100km/h in<br />
8.9sec.<br />
More importantly, the<br />
EQA will travel up to 480km<br />
on a single charge, that<br />
supposing all the conditions<br />
are favourable such as<br />
elevation, load in the car,<br />
wind, and speed at which the<br />
EQA is travelling. I had two<br />
Southern Motorway runs in<br />
the evaluation car and there<br />
was never a point where I<br />
reached range anxiety, with<br />
a sensible driving style I<br />
Wednesday <strong>December</strong> <strong>22</strong> <strong>2021</strong> Selwyn Times 27<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ EQA 250: Fully electric with a<br />
claimed 480km range.<br />
believe Mercedes-Benz’s<br />
claims would be achievable.<br />
The EQA will charge<br />
from low to full capacity<br />
in around 10 hours on a<br />
domestic household charge,<br />
and around 30min at a<br />
designated rapid charging<br />
station to reach 80 per cent<br />
from 10 per cent.<br />
• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />
EQA 250, $85,500<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4463mm; width, 1834mm;<br />
height, 1620mm<br />
• Configuration – Electric<br />
motor, front-wheel-drive,<br />
140kW, 375Nm, automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.9sec<br />
Since plug-ins have<br />
become popular I’ve been a<br />
little hesitant about electric<br />
vehicle charging on the<br />
Kiddie property. However,<br />
after a check and a long chat<br />
with the electrician who<br />
services our home I’ve been<br />
told that it is perfectly safe<br />
to charge an EV’s batteries<br />
on our old wiring. That<br />
is so long as it is a direct<br />
connection to the wall<br />
without using a multi-pack,<br />
double plug or extension<br />
cable. That should also put a<br />
lot more buyers at ease, even<br />
though a wallbox would be<br />
preferable, you don’t have to<br />
have that.<br />
Driving the EQA is little<br />
different from that of the<br />
petrol-powered G-Class<br />
models, and it has all those<br />
subtle Mercedes-Benz quirks<br />
that makes the brand stand<br />
out as a manufacturer, things<br />
such as the door-mounted<br />
seat adjusters and steering<br />
column gear selector (right<br />
side).<br />
However, you can<br />
guarantee that Mercedes-<br />
Benz has loaded the EQA to<br />
be as desirable as possible,<br />
it gets a full suite of kit,<br />
and the test car was loaded<br />
with a few extra goodies<br />
taking the price to almost<br />
$100k. In standard form it<br />
sits at $85,500 which is still<br />
a sizeable outlay, but you<br />
are buying a sport utility<br />
vehicle that is adaptable and<br />
versatile, and if you are a<br />
person who wants to tackle<br />
the luxury EV market, then<br />
this is the car for you. It is<br />
many models in one and<br />
represents luxury and value<br />
all in one package.<br />
I presented the evaluation<br />
car with a few tight corners<br />
in the Selwyn district, and<br />
can report it has all the fine<br />
handling qualities you’d expect<br />
in any Mercedes-Benz model,<br />
it steers directly on its 20in<br />
Michelin tyres and has firm<br />
feedback at the steering wheel.<br />
The suspension is a fully<br />
independent type with<br />
spring and damper rates that<br />
cushion every road ripple<br />
but keep the body tight and<br />
controlled in a corner.<br />
Inside, there is a heavy<br />
digital presence along with<br />
manual controls that have<br />
deliberate haptic feel and<br />
they offer familiarity. The<br />
EQA 250 was also fitted<br />
with Mercedes-Benz’s user<br />
experience innovation<br />
package where you can<br />
request many functions<br />
intuitively controlled by<br />
voice, touch or gestures.<br />
These are all elements that<br />
make Mercedes-Benz stand<br />
out as a brand, you get a lot<br />
of car for the money and one<br />
that will also give you peace<br />
of mind – the batteries are<br />
warranted for eight years or<br />
160,000km.<br />
During that time you will<br />
have a rewarding driving<br />
experience, not only forgoing<br />
all of those bills you get with<br />
petrol-engined cars, but<br />
also the feel you get with<br />
electric power, it is different<br />
but involving and certainly<br />
satisfying.<br />
Electric vehicles are fast<br />
becoming the norm, if<br />
that becomes the case, I’m<br />
worried the national grid<br />
won’t cope with the demand<br />
as drivers arrive home and<br />
get those cables plugged in.<br />
An acquaintance who works<br />
in the power supply industry<br />
has told me it could be a<br />
problem in years to come.<br />
Let’s hope the companies<br />
that generate the power are<br />
switched on to this.

PETS & PAWS<br />
Silly season<br />
hazards for<br />
your pets<br />
It’s that time of the year again when the<br />
Christmas decorations go up, and the<br />
chocolates and decadent food comes out.<br />
This Christmas, SPCA is encouraging<br />
pet owners not to share human food with<br />
their furry family members and to be<br />
mindful of where they leave edible treats<br />
or festive decorations that may be toxic to<br />
pets.<br />
SPCA Scientific Officer Dr Alison<br />
Vaughan says while many pet owners<br />
know chocolate is dangerous for dogs and<br />
cats, there’s also an array of festive foods<br />
that people indulge in over the holiday<br />
period that can be harmful to pets.<br />
“I know it can be hard to resist a pair<br />
of puppy eyes begging for a piece of<br />
Christmas cake or pudding, but your<br />
pet could become seriously ill if they eat<br />
what you’re eating these holidays,” says Dr<br />
Vaughan. “Animals digest food differently<br />
to people, and some foods which are<br />
safe for us can have severe health<br />
consequences if eaten by our pets.”<br />
As well as chocolate, foods such as<br />
macadamia nuts, grapes or raisins in<br />
fruit cake and Christmas pudding, corn<br />
cobs, onions, avocado, turkey skin, pork<br />
crackling, fatty meats, alcohol, caffeine,<br />
and Xylitol (a common ingredient in<br />
sugarless treats and sugarless gum): all<br />
have the potential to be harmful to pets.<br />
Owners need to be extra vigilant at<br />
this time of year, as many will know how<br />
quickly pets can get into food they’re not<br />
supposed to. Gifts under the tree, food left<br />
on tables, in rubbish bags and in handbags<br />
are common places where pets will often<br />
steal foods that can make them sick.<br />

Keep up with the water – but be careful<br />
WATER IS a vital ingredient of<br />
any successful garden.<br />
It is a key element in producing<br />
healthy tasty vegetables, fruits and<br />
for maintaining flowers, pots and<br />
lawns.<br />
Lack of plant performance in<br />
the summer is often a result of<br />
poor or inadequate watering.<br />
Water is the backbone of any successful<br />
crop, whether it be edible,<br />
flowering or ornamental.<br />
In summer, soil can become<br />
dry, hard and repel water. When<br />
you water the dry pots the water<br />
quickly runs down the edges<br />
of the pot and out through the<br />
drainage holes without being<br />
absorbed (wasting the majority of<br />
the water that was applied).<br />
A good trick to re-hydrate<br />
overly dry pots or hanging baskets<br />
is to place them in a bucket<br />
or trough of water and leave them<br />
in there soaking until the water<br />
stops bubbling. This may take a<br />
day or overnight but the root zone<br />
will be refreshed and your plants<br />
will thank you for it.<br />
A smart proactive way to help<br />
your soil hold onto moisture over<br />
the warm months is to add a few<br />
essentials to it to increase its water<br />
holding capacity.<br />
Mulch<br />
A thick layer of mulch helps the<br />
soil hold onto moisture for longer<br />
periods. Before adding mulch to<br />
the gardens, water the area well.<br />
This will trap moisture in the soil<br />
and provide plants a cool moist<br />
root zone.<br />
Pelletised pea straw is about<br />
the easiest mulch to apply, simply<br />
add an even layer over the soil.<br />
When water is applied, it swells<br />
four times its original size making<br />
it very economical, easy and very<br />
tidy to apply — no messy hands<br />
or wheelbarrows required with<br />
this stuff.<br />
Decorative bark and pine<br />
mulches are widely available and<br />
look smart once applied. Sheep<br />
pellets are fabulous mulch as they<br />
feed and retain moisture at the<br />
same time. Sheep pellets are a favorite<br />
with worms too. It’s a good<br />
idea to feed the ‘soil workers’ over<br />
the warmer months too.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Soil wetters<br />
Once applied to the soil they<br />
enable it to hold onto more moisture.<br />
This makes your water go<br />
further and keeps plants healthy<br />
and productive at the same time.<br />
Simply sprinkle onto the soil or<br />
pots and blend in. Reapply each<br />
season to ensure the best water<br />
retention.<br />
Ground covers<br />
Covering the soil with ground<br />
covering plants will limit the<br />
amount of moisture drawn out<br />
of the soil on hot days. In the<br />
vege garden crops like pumpkins,<br />
melons and courgettes cover the<br />
soil and protect crops growing<br />
around them.<br />
WATERING HINTS<br />
• Water roots not foliage.<br />
Plants take in water<br />
through the root zone<br />
so watering the foliage is<br />
unnecessary and can cause<br />
leaf burning. Water in the<br />
morning or early evening<br />
avoiding the heat in the<br />
middle of the day.<br />
• It’s best to water deeply<br />
once or twice a week<br />
rather than a little each<br />
day. It is wasteful to apply<br />
water faster than the soil<br />
can soak it in.<br />
• Check leaking hoses<br />
or taps, they can waste a<br />

GARDENING 29<br />
ESSENTIAL:<br />
Water the<br />
roots of plants<br />
for effective<br />
hydration.<br />
lot of water. A dripping<br />
tap can leak up to<br />
100-litres of water a day.<br />
Water the garden not the<br />
driveway, path or paved<br />
areas.<br />
• Use a soak hose in<br />
garden beds rather than a<br />
sprinkler. When planting,<br />
group plants together with<br />
similar water needs, this<br />
will also help simplify the<br />
design of an automatic<br />
watering system<br />
• Phone a friend — if you<br />
are away over the holiday<br />
season ask a friend or<br />
neighbour to pop in and<br />
water your treasures.<br />
Merry Christmas<br />
from IntellIgro<br />
The coming weeks are all about adding the<br />
finishing touches in preparation for Christmas<br />

Top tips if you are heading<br />
away over summer<br />
• Add mulch to the garden to help conserve<br />
water and keep the weeds down<br />
• Invest in an irrigation system with a timer<br />
to keep your garden watered<br />
• Give everything a good feed and water to<br />
help sustain growth<br />

Exterior renovation<br />
and Landscaping<br />
While renovating the interior of your home<br />
creates a comfortable living environment<br />
and improves its re-sale potential, the<br />
outside of the property is equally important.<br />
Remember, first impressions count!<br />
Creating an attractive outdoor environment<br />
may involve landscaping, plantings, decks,<br />
pergolas, garaging, fencing, paths, entrance<br />
and driveway, in addition to the exterior<br />
decoration of the house itself. However, be<br />
careful not to over-capitalise on elaborate<br />
landscaping, if a simple make-over can<br />
achieve a desirable effect.<br />
Draw up plans and a budget for the areas<br />
you plan to re-develop. Ensure any additional<br />
structures such as garaging, decks,<br />
retaining walls and fences have the required<br />
permits and seek advice on the ideal building<br />
materials and methods.<br />
Planting<br />
Discuss with your local garden centre or<br />
nursery which plants will best suit the size<br />
sun and situation of your section and don’t<br />
design a labour intensive garden if your<br />
lifestyle won’t allow you the time to look<br />
after it!<br />
Fences and Gates<br />
These should provide privacy and security,<br />
while also allowing access to the property<br />
for visitors. Try to choose fence and gate<br />
styles that complement the age and style<br />
of your home. Consider additional aspects<br />
such as light, cost, maintenance, traffic<br />
noise and street appeal when making your<br />
selection.<br />
Entrance<br />
The entrance to your house should be a focal<br />
point to welcome visitors, provide easy access<br />
and visually link the inside and outside<br />
Darfield 11 Killead Avenue<br />

aspects of the property. Whether a traditional<br />
verandah, a glass porch, canvas canopy,<br />
pillared portico or simply an attractive front<br />
door and steps, ensure the colours, shape,<br />
style and surfaces and in keeping with the<br />
original architecture.<br />
Decks, Patios and Courtyards<br />
The New Zealand climate has always<br />
encouraged exterior extensions to the<br />
house whether a colonial verandah, timber<br />
deck, paved patio or European courtyard.<br />
Screened for shelter and privacy they are<br />
attractive “outdoor rooms” for recreation,<br />
entertaining and outdoor dining and a sure<br />
way to enhance the value of almost any<br />
home.<br />
Garages and Carports<br />
Depending on the age of your home, garage<br />
space may be a problem is there is insufficient<br />
access to the side or rear of the house.<br />
It may be possible to construct a garage or<br />
carport close to the street frontage. In order<br />
not to detract from the visual appeal of the<br />
property, it is important that the dimensions,<br />
design and materials be in keeping<br />
with the existing house. Skillful landscaping<br />
and planting can “soften” the impact.

Cacti you will ever see in the farm garden. The roughcast 189m2 home with its 3 bedrooms has had some<br />
development since its build back in 1920. The living room diesel fire guarantees a lovely warmth in those winter<br />
months. The farms old raised board woolshed smacks of character with covered yards nearby. Add in the 5 bay hay<br />
shed and the grain store and garage the property has room for you to add your touch. The owners say SELL SELL SELL<br />
