Freyja
• By Susan Sandys
RECENT sightings of Freyja the
missing six-month-old swedish
vallhund are keeping hope alive
for her owner.
Lyla Arthurs said her beloved
support dog vanished within 25
minutes of being let outside into
her yard on their property near
Leeston, about 10.30am on
May 21.
“All we can do is just keep hoping,
but it does get harder with
every day going past,” Arthurs
said.
Arthurs said she believed the
small dog, from a breed which
was rare in New Zealand, had
squeezed under the gate to get
out of the semi-enclosed yard at
her lifestyle block home on Kings
Rd. Freyja had done this before,
to go and sit at the end of the
driveway.
She said being a small dog with
short legs, and not prone to wandering,
Freyja would not have
travelled far on her own. Arthurs
said immediate efforts to find her
were unsuccessful.
SUPPORT:
Lyla Arthurs
said Freyja

pain.
She believes Freyja may have
been picked up by someone and
then later dumped, perhaps
when they saw ‘missing’ posters
and social media notices offering
a $2000 reward.

Lincoln
South
opponents
petition
council
• By Susan Sandys
OPPONENTS of the 1710-home
Lincoln South development
are taking a petition to district
councillors.
It comes as Carter Group appeals
its unsuccessful bid for a
zone change at Rolleston, which
would have allowed 2100 new
homes in two lots on Dunns
Crossing Rd (Plan Change 73).
The Lincoln South application,
Plan Change 69, was also made by
Carter Group. It will potentially
increase the number of dwellings
in Lincoln by about 55 per cent,
with the current number of
dwellings in the town being about
3104.
PC69 has been recommended
for approval by an independent
commissioner. The district council
is thus likely to approve it when
it considers the recommendation
at its meeting on Wednesday next
week.
However, district councillors
are facing huge opposition, as
residents prepare to submit a
letter with more than 200
signatures this week.

Kind stranger pays for groceries
Mother wants
to thank
mystery
shopper
Wednesday June 1 2022 Selwyn Times
• By Susan Sandys
A MYSTERY supermarket angel
paid for Lincoln mother Jen
Stewart’s groceries last week, and
it could not have come at a better
time.
Stewart was at the checkout
with her grandmother Muriel
Johnston and four-year-old
daughter Ava at Lincoln New
World on Sunday. The cashier
told her the older man who had
been in the line before her left
cash. It was to pay for her trolley
load, and she was able to keep
the remainder.
By that time the man had left,
leaving Stewart mystified and
overwhelmed with gratitude. She
had not taken notice of the man
so did not know what he looked
like.
“I just can’t believe somebody
would be so kind to pay for my
shopping,” Stewart said.
“I was just speechless. This
person didn’t know how grateful
I was, on that very week, that he
would pay for my shopping.”
SPEECHLESS: Jen Stewart could not believe it when a stranger paid for her groceries at Lincoln New World.
She said her bill was over $100.
She paid the act of kindness
forward by giving the remainder
of the cash, which was a similar
amount, to a single mum friend
for her groceries.
“It was great for her too,”
Stewart said.
She said the timing had been
especially appreciated by her and
her family as it was one week to
the day since all four members
had come out of isolation from
having Covid.
The seven-day isolation period
had meant she had to forfeit a
$120 non-refundable airfare to
Auckland. Stewart had been
going there to meet Muriel who
was flying over from Scotland to
stay with the family.
She had planned to help the
90-year-old get from the international
to domestic terminal. The
isolation period also meant they
could not drive to Christchurch
International Airport to pick
up Muriel to bring her to their
house as planned.
Muriel had to instead get a
taxi, and stay three nights in a
motel before she could stay with
Stewart and her family once
their isolation period finished.
Stewart said to have something
nice happen after this had been
wonderful.
Incredibly, it had actually been
the second incident of being
helped by a supermarket angel
that she had experienced.
When buying a few items at
the same supermarket about
five years ago, when her now
six-year-old was a baby, a woman
who had gone through the
checkout before her, said: “Let
me get this for you.”
The woman explained she
always did this for people
with babies, ever since someone
had done the same for her
when she was shopping with a
baby.
Stewart said she had posted
about last week’s experience in
the Lincoln community page on
Facebook, and was now talking
to the Selwyn Times, as she
wanted to thank the man who
had done this for her last week.
“I was like: ‘How do I thank
this person who did the kindest
thing?’ ” she said.

CARTER GROUP is seeking
rezoning of land outside the
Rolleston town boundary, to
allow for 3770 homes.
The land is in four blocks,
neighbouring each other along
Dunns Crossing Rd. They are the
subject of three zone change applications
that have been made to
the district council, named Plan
Change 73, Plan Change 81 and
Plan Change 82.
PC73, for about 2100 homes

meeting last year, followed by
about 255 submissions.
The letter calls for councillors
to reject the commissioner’s
recommendation, or at
least delay it to consider
the issues raised by
the community, hold
a public meeting, or
seek an Environment
Court declaration to
clarify issues. These
issues include loss of
farmland, particularly as
Government proposes a national
Court, which was lodged by last
week’s May 23 deadline.
PC81 and PC82, for about 350
and 1320 homes respectively, are
at the stage of the submissions
process and have altogether received
24 submissions. The next
step is for the district council to
summarise submissions and call
for further submissions, before
a hearing commissioner will
consider whether to recommend
the district council approve the
two zone changes.
For PC73, Carter Group
is appealing after the

district council decision was in
accordance with the hearing
Commissioner David Caldwell’s
recommendation.
Carter Group says in its
appeal it disagrees with the
commissioner’s reasoning in his
recommendation, with regard
to reverse sensitivity effects and
form of urban growth.
Reverse sensitivity relates
to the potential for noise and
odour from the nearby Pines
Wastewater Treatment Plant and
Pines Resource Recovery Park.
PC69: A public meeting last June over the proposed change.
Carter Group seeks rezoning in Rolleston
In terms of form of urban
growth, there was now new
information available since the
hearing, Carter Group says in
the appeal notice.
This included that the Carter
Group company of Rolleston
West Residential Ltd now owned
or controlled the neighbouring
land, which was the subject of
PC81 and PC82.
“Through this appeal and the
evidence which will be given in
the PC81 and PC82 processes,
there is significant opportunity
to resolve the concerns expressed
in the decision that PC73 would
form a peninsula of residential
development adjacent to rural
land and that there was a low
level of connectivity with
Rolleston township,” the appeal
notice says.
If the appeal was successful
and the other two applications
also successful, it would pave
the way for Rolleston’s town
boundary to push out west
beyond Dunns Crossing Rd.
The number of 3770 homes
represents an almost 50 per cent
increase on the current number
of about 7850 dwellings in
the town.

Dog Freyja
a ‘great
support’
• From page 1
She said there had been two
sightings of a dog, believed to look
exactly like Freyja, on Tobins Rd
about 10km away on Thursday. The
sightings were by different members
of the same family who lived
in the area.
Arthurs wants people to keep
an eye out for Freyja, but not go
actively looking and calling for her.
She said she had recently talked
to an experienced animal tracker,
who suggested calling could make
the dog more scared.
Instead Arthurs was trying to
find her by leaving items of clothing
in the area the dog had been
sighted, and then watching these at
a distance at sunrise and sunset to
see if Freyja came to the items.
Additionally, she was putting up
trail cameras in the area.
Arthurs said Freyja had been a
great support to her as she suffered
pain every day with her condition
of myalgic encephalomyelitis and
fibromyalgia.
“On the bad days, she would
brighten it up. When I wasn’t feeling
great, she would know that I
needed cheering up.”

Health partners combine at Oromairaki
• By Susan Sandys
HAVING THE same reception
area/waiting room for a new
maternity facility and a mental
health service is expected to
break down stigma and increase
health literacy.
The Canterbury District
Health Board’s Oromairaki,
to replace services at Lincoln
Maternity Hospital, is up and
running, which is alongside new
rooms for Child, Adolescent and
Family Mental Health Services,
at Selwyn Health Hub at Rolleston.
Allied Health consultant for
CAFS, Tracy Boon, said CAFS
was to move to the hub from its
current location of a small house
in Shelley St, Rolleston.
“Now we get to come into this
fantastic facility, and be alongside
other health partners,” Boon
said.
“We can normalise someone’s
health journey, it’s not like you
are going somewhere special for
mental health,” she said.
“It’s incredibly powerful for
reducing stigma. There’s no singling
out of people for what they
might come to a health service
for.”
Boon was among health professionals
showing media around
the new CDHB facilities on the
first floor of Selwyn Health Hub
last week. Alongside CAFS and
Oromairaki, the health board
is opening Community Dental
at the building, which will also
share the same reception area/
waiting room.
Executive director of midwifery
and maternity Norma
Campbell said having the three
services located alongside
each other in this way would
strengthen the “health literacy”
of everyone using the services.
For example, someone visiting
maternity would take note of
what other services were alongside,
and want to find out more
about them.
As well as sharing the reception
area/waiting room, CAFS
and maternity would share consultation/interview
rooms which
would be managed via a booking
system.
The maternity hospital is to be
staffed 24/7, while the reception
area/waiting room will open in
normal daytime hours. Women
coming in to the hospital in
labour can access it directly via
a lift, thereby by-passing the

waiting room.
Campbell said the health hub
building was a beautiful one,
and the interior of the maternity
hospital, from its outlay to colour
scheme, had been created with
the journey of the birthing
woman in mind.
There are two birthing rooms,
which was the same number
Lincoln had. Both had birthing
pools, along with brown and
muted tones on the ceiling and
walls, to give the feeling of a
cocoon.
Lincoln was to close following
the last birth there leading up to
the 10am opening time yesterday
of Oromairaki.
The health board has not yet
decided what will happen to the
Lincoln Maternity Hospital site.
Mayor Sam Broughton
said having the services open
in the district council-owned
health hub was about partnership.
“And for us as a council to be
able to bring services to Selwyn,”
Broughton said.

Gardens grateful for compost
• By Emily Moorhouse
TWENTY-TWO tonnes of
“gold” in the form of compost
has been donated to community
gardens following a shortage.
Forty-one community gardens
around the city will benefit
from 1200 bags of compost to
help grow produce, donated by

Products.
Canterbury

Gardens
Association
capacity
Rachel
Vogan
builder Rachel
Vogan said the
donation was
“crazy” and has
been well-received by all of the
community gardens around the
city.
“It’s literally like gold for the
gardens because we can’t grow
good crops without getting
good nutrition into the ground,”
Vogan said.
Vogan was approached by
Tui after the bags of expired
compost, and strawberry
and vegetable mix were
discovered. They couldn’t be
sold so the company asked if the
community gardens could use it.
Because the compost goes
straight into the ground and the
community gardens follow all
the health and safety procedures
Vogan said the compost would
be fine to use.
“It’s better than getting money,
it’s what we need to help grow our
food, so it’s amazing,” she said.
She said there is a huge issue
with shortage of compost for
community gardens, especially
with the uncertain future of the
organics processing plant in
Bromley.
That has a big impact on
community gardens because
we’re really short of compost to
put in the ground and without
being able to feed the soil it’s
really hard to keep feeding
people,” Vogan said.
Vogan said it was a “juggling
act” getting the compost to
each community garden as the
association didn’t have access
to delivery trucks or a depot to
store the compost.
Luckily, Owens Transport
donated two delivery trucks
and drivers for a couple of
hours to deliver the 26 pallets of

compost to the Wai-ora Trust,
which offered its forklift and
space to store the compost for
other community gardens to
collect.
Each of the 41 community
gardens can take up to 22 bags
of compost, seeing garden
members filling up their cars to
the brim.
Vogan said in spring, a garden
event will be held and the
leftover compost mix will be
used for that.

3D-printed food in competition finals
• By Susan Sandys
DOOR TO THE FUTURE: Damir Torrico (centre), alongside Lincoln University
colleagues Lokesh Kumar (left) and Luca Serventi, are venturing into
the field of 3D food printing. Right – Lincoln University alumnus Patrick
Clement is thrilled to have his huhu grub idea recognised.
HUHU HUMMUS and
3D-printed microgreens are
among innovations which
have made the finals of a
highly competitive agritech
competition.
Powered by ChristchurchNZ,
the Food, Fibre & Agritech
Supernode Challenge is back for
the second year in a row.
Several Lincoln University
alumni and staff members are in
the shortlist of 24 finalists. The
top 10 are yet to be named and
will present at an awards ceremony
June 21 at Christchurch
Town Hall.
Participants were invited to
submit fresh ideas to advance
Canterbury’s food, fibre and
agritech sector, aimed at a more
sustainable future. Winners will
receive a share in more than
$70,000 in cash and prizes.
Lincoln University Department
of Wine, Food and Molecular
Biosciences senior lecturer
Damir Torrico, of Rolleston,
is thrilled to have his and his
team’s idea of delicious and nutritious
3D-printed microgreen
products make the shortlist.
Microgreens are young seedlings
of edible vegetables and
herbs, which can be harvested
soon after being planted.
Torrico said the ability of the
plants to grow fast could be useful
in situations where food was
scarce. And 3D food printing
was a new technology which allowed
researchers to re-imagine
food products.
“Several food concepts can
be tested and prototypes can
be created by just finding the
right ingredients and procedures
using the food 3D printer. We
expect to have more research in
this space,” Torrico said.
Lincoln University alumnus
Patrick Clement, now a retired
agribusiness executive living
in Auckland, was also thrilled
to make the shortlist. His idea
involves researching and commercialising
the native huhu
grub as both a food source and a
natural processor of post-harvest
forestry debris.
Products could include hummus,
gourmet dishes and ingredient
powders.
Clement said huhu grubs were
“delicious.” He had been eating
them ever since he was a child
growing up in Blenheim. He and
his brother would get them out
of old pine logs for their grandfather
to use as fishing bait.
They would often get dozens
too many, so his mother would
deep-fry the remainder.
“They taste a little bit like peanut
butter,” Clement said.
Others on the shortlist include:
Lincoln University alumnus
Alistair Frizzell, of Kirwee, with
his idea of developing an automated
irrigator. The irrigator can
be programmed to include hardto-reach
areas, thereby saving
farmers time, money and water.
Lincoln University alumnus
and 5th Business Agri managing
director Cynthia Northcote, and
her colleague Emily House, with
their DietDecoder software solution.
The software is designed
to connect pasture nutrient
insights to animal health and
welfare.
Lincoln University educational
facilitator Lauren Roberts with
her idea of replacing silage wrap
with an airtight container and
tracking fermentation, helping to
preserve the feed.

Big turnout at swap meet
HIGHLY anticipated after being
postponed three times in the
past two years, the Hororata
Mechanical Swap Meet did not
disappoint when it was finally
held on Saturday.
About 130 sellers rolled into
the Hororata Domain as the sun
rose, followed by 2500 punters
looking for treasures.
THey came from throughout
New Zealand. Organiser John
Foster said he was “blown away”
by the numbers. It was twice
as many sellers and five times
as many buyers compared to
previous years.
Foster and Dave Pomare set
up the Hororata Mechanical
Swap Meet in 2010 and have
operated it since then. They
said the weekend’s event was
so successful, they plan to hold
another one in September.
“THe swap meet community
has missed out on coming
together for the past two years.
Along with finding that hardto-find
part or special piece of
machinery, swap meets are about
catching up with mates and
having a yarn, that is what we
have missed most,” Foster said.
“It was quite overwhelming
seeing the line grow and grow
of sellers wanting to get into
the event first thing in the
morning, but hats off to the
team of volunteers who worked
like a well-oiled machine to get
everyone in fast.”
THis year they partnered with
the Hororata Community Trust
to help deliver the event.
He said it was a good

BACKYARD CRITTERS
OVER THE last few years, I
have recorded 403 invertebrate
species at our Lincoln section.
Moths make up 29 per cent (116)
of these species.
The large number of moth
species in some way reflects the
plant diversity from our garden
that their larvae feed on – the
larger the native plant diversity,
the greater the moth species’
diversity will be.
We often think of butterflies
being beautiful, but some moths
can be stunning also.
One that comes to mind is a
geometrid or looper moth called
Pasiphila sandycias. Adults have
a 13-16mm wingspan and are
quite variable in colour, ranging
from cream to brown and green
colours.
The species is endemic to New
Zealand and found in most parts

OUR PEOPLE – HENRY TURNER
Satisfying a ravenous appetite for
Henry Turner of West
Melton has become
one of Christchurch Art
Gallery’s youngest artists
to be represented in its
permanent collection.
The gallery just recently
bought two of his
works. Susan Sandys
spoke to the 22-year-old
Tell me a little bit about
yourself and your art.
Basically I’m no good at
anything else. I have been doing
this for most of my life, although
it was only formalised about
eight years ago.
What schools did you go to?
I went to West Melton School
and Burnside High School.
When did you first start to
draw and paint?
I can’t remember, it was before
memory solidified.
As a child, what did you like
about art?
It had a sort of achievability,
and a freedom, which wasn’t
really in anything else. It’s like
a liberation of the soul, and you
can fly.
Tell me about what art forms
you do.
Well I do most kinds. I do
embroidery and painting and
silver-making and sculpting
and gardening. But I’ve barely
started. I propose to get started
on lapidary (caving gemstones).
Do you think gardening is an
art form?
Well, I am very uninterested in
art forms. It’s like making clothes,
and gardening and cooking and
painting. They are all in one sort of
category, except the garden fights
back, and it would be unwise
to eat the sculpture most of the
time. With the creative essence,
it’s all from the same place. And
everything can be fused together
into a more generalised means of
expression, which is what I have
been aiming for.
Tell me about your recent
solo exhibitions.
I do shows in different places.
There’s Brett McDowell Gallery
in Dunedin, City Art Depot in
FINDING SUCCESS: Henry Turner of West Melton began showing his work in solo exhibitions as a teenager.
Right: Echoes (a) and Echoes (b) have recently sold to the Christchurch Art Gallery.
PHOTO: STAR NEWS
Christchurch. I do shows in both
of those, I’m working on a show
for Brett today. At the moment,
it’s mainly planning more than
actually painting, because
some of the formats are quite
complicated, but there’s a lot
of gold and pearls. There was a
show at City Art Depot recently
(Exhibition entitled A.P.G.A.,
April 16-May 16), which had
embroidered clothing, lots of
sculpture and lots of painting.
To do the painting, I used
techniques you would normally
use for sculpture. On the
sculpture, some of them, I used
techniques you would normally
use for paintings. Also some of
the sculptures were on the walls,
and some of the paintings were
on tables. So there is a sort of
blurring of characteristics.
Did you take art as a subject
at Burnside?
Oh yes, I did the maximum
that I could. At morning tea
and lunch time, and before and
after school. It was really good,
I spent as much time in there
(art studios at the school) as I
possibly could. At Burnside,
there were several teachers of
importance, and there was
(artist) Nichola Shanley. I was
never in her class. I started
working with galleries through
her and it was incredible.
How did Nichola Shanley
help when you weren’t in her
art class?
I sidled into whichever class
she was teaching. And also we
had morning tea together, and
lunch, and went to visit each
other, and it was wonderful, it
really was.
So even though you were
not in her class, she ended up
being a wonderful mentor
anyway?
Yes. Mentor, mental artist.
She opened up the whole
world of exhibitions to you?
I had been doing shows for
years by then, but I went to Brett
McDowell Gallery because she
was showing there. I was in
year 10. That was of incredible
importance, it was one of the
best things that ever happened
to me. It took years and years
before I was able to do good
work that I wanted to show with
Brett. But I knew from then
where I wanted to go. If you
consider art to be work, then I
have worked just about every
day of my life. Whether it wasn’t
actually drawing, then I was
thinking about it and exercising
the mind, all the time. But it’s
only in the last few years, very
recently in fact, that I think I
have got somewhere.
Do you make a living from
your art?
It’s getting there. I started
from sort of nothing. I have done
it every day, but it is starting to
get there, definitely.
That must be rewarding.
Can I include a metaphor?
There’s this great thing the
ancient Egyptians did, it’s in
the Book of the Dead. When the
deceased came to the afterworld
– when someone died and they
did the mummification as a way
of sending them to the afterlife –
there were all these ceremonies to
make the body work again. There
was the opening of the mouth,
and then they could speak, which
is why it was important that the
tongue got preserved perfectly.
Arriving dumb and unable to
communicate or anything, and
then the opening of the mouth,
it seems quite relevant. Because
once you’ve sort of got the hang
of something, or at least it seems
to me, you can speak, you are
free. After trying so many years,
I have got to a place where it feels
as though a mouth has been
opened. I can speak, and it is
wonderful.

art – but not using the colour blue
That is wonderful that your
artistic career has taken off. I
understand the Christchurch
Art Gallery bought two of your
works?
The (Christchurch) Art Gallery
bought two big paintings a few
weeks ago, that was nice. They
were quite big ones, I haven’t
done such big ones in a while.
They were called Echoes (a) and
Echoes (b). They were large forests
with different things happening
in them. They are gouache on
panel. If you asked them and they
declined to divulge (the price),
I can’t really divulge it either. It
was a record purchase from my
experience (highest price for my
work that I have achieved).
What did you do when you
left school?
I went to Canterbury
University. I’ve got a Bachelor of
Arts. I majored in art history and
minored in classics.
That’s interesting that you
didn’t take the traditional route
many artists take, studying fine
arts?
I think some people might go
to art school to get more art into
their lives. But it has been my life
since the year dot, so I thought
I would just keep going. I was
exhibiting all the time I was at
university. It’s super important
to exercise the mind, I turned
myself into one of those German
mining machines and sort of
ate up everything there was.
Although, I can’t honestly say I
cared very much about marks.
Because the stuff itself was so
exciting, and I was so ravenous
for it. It opened so much of the
brain, and that was the important
thing. But I did that solely as an
adjunct to the art.
How old were you when you
had your first solo exhibition?
The first time I ever showed
anything in a sort of semiformalised
way was at Selwyn
Arts Heart (annual Selwyn art
exhibition). I think I was about
12. The first solo show wasn’t
until a few years after that.
I’m really bad at dates. It was
drawings and paintings, mostly
paintings I think. I was working
EXHIBITION: Christchurch’s City Art Depot recently hosted a Henry Turner exhibition, entitled A.G.P.A.
a lot with oil pastels at that point,
which I haven’t really done
since. It is sort of drawing with
lipsticks, it’s amazing.
I saw online that you wrote
the book Deep Gold, described
as a series of paintings and
a novella about a fictitious
Subantarctic island, its
shipwrecked crew, plants and
species.
Yes, that was a sort of
delayed response to a trip to
the Subantarctics I did about
eight years ago. I went round
down there, which is another
one of the best things which has
ever happened to me. It was of
huge importance. I went there
again last year, with Nicola as it
happened. So there was a lovely
symmetry to it, because it was
around when I first met her that I
went the first time. I skipped the
year 9 exams, it was great.
How did you get to go there
on your first trip?
I heard that there was this
scholarship. I scraped together
the relevant stuff and went to see
the company. I was on the ship
inside the week. It was amazing.
What did you like about it?
Going to Macquarie Island
(part of the Subantarctic Islands)
is the rawest extreme of opposite
(from civilisation) you can
imagine. You go there and the
penguins come up and eat you,
well nibble a bit. There is this
enormous biomass, which is not
used to people. When you go
there, if you didn’t know better,
you would swear humans didn’t
exist anywhere in the world.
I am curious about what
other subjects you studied at
school. Your morning teas and
your lunch breaks and your
art classes of course were spent
doing art, what other subjects
did you do at high school?
Well I started at Burnside in
another well-known specialist
department of theirs, and that
was an utter disaster. That was
sort of six months that didn’t
happen, as far as I am concerned.
Was it music?
Yes, well you might well think
that, I couldn’t possibly. I don’t
want to talk about it, it was
horrible. There was that, and well
after that there was the usual.
French was good, I enjoyed that,
and maths, biology chemistry,
not to any stellar results. English
was fantastic.
Did your parents influence
your art career?
Yes, I would say so, my
parents definitely. My
grandfather was an engineer. He
built stuff, he built motorcars
and ships and railways and
steam locomotives, basically
did whatever he wanted to. My
mother has a lot of that, and my
father is an engineer.
Do you have any siblings?
Yes. I have two younger
brothers. At school they were
sometimes asked if I was
adopted.
Why is that?
Well, because we are so
dramatically unlike. How much
of it is nature versus nurture I
don’t know, more of the latter
I think. They are at university.
My brother Max is doing
biochemistry and George is
an engineer. I think a lot of it
is also to do with the fact that
they are both very, very good
at being outgoing and social.
They are very good with people.
Particularly at school, which I
was the total opposite of that. I
hardly left the art department.
I suppose that had its
advantages, because you are a
successful artist! Can you think
of anything else to share?
I got semi-addicted to
methadone once for about five
weeks. It was the holidays before
year 11 started. I haven’t used
the colour blue since. The sky
became sort of terrifying, and
it became sort of a tic. It was
after a big spinal operation. I
have a deformed spine. It had to
be modified. I can’t remember
if the instructions weren’t said
loudly enough, or not listened
to hard enough (regarding the
recommended prescribed dosage
for post-operative pain relief).
That was probably the worst
thing that ever happened to me,
the withdrawal. It was a pretty
softcore addiction compared to
other substances that are around,
but it was quite unpleasant I must
say.
It’s a shame you have not
been able to use the colour blue
since then, blue is a beautiful
colour.
Yea, I’m sure it is. There are
times when I think: ‘Maybe if i
just use a little pale blue.’ Well,
I’m quite obstinate. I may as just
well continue. I do quite like a
nice teal green though.
Can you wear the colour
blue?
Oh yeah. I almost always wear
black. Or sometimes white. But
mostly black. Maybe blue now
and then. My friend Sharon
Ng does these wonderful black
shirts which I wear. It also takes
embroidery quite well. The last
one had so much glass beading it
was like wearing a large tank. It
weighed about two kilos.

Winter is back, with a new set of challenges for driving - we’re encouraging drivers to take a few simple
steps to drive safe.
As the weather changes driving challenges can change quickly with fog, ice, snow, rain, shorter daylight
hours and sunstrike. The district has many shaded areas, which prevent roads from thawing on cooler
days. Staying alert and taking extra care is essential, but winter driving does not have to be dangerous or
intimidating. Especially not if you remember the four key tips for winter driving:
Plan Ahead – Stay Alert – Slow Down – Drop Back.
PLAN AHEAD
Prepare your vehicle before you start your journey. Make sure your wiper blades, headlights and tyres
are in good condition and your windscreen is clear inside and out. Before winter really sets in, ensure any
necessary maintenance for your vehicle has been completed so you don’t get stranded.
Prepare for your trip, know your route, check for weather conditions, road closures, road works. Plan
for food, water, kids and pet’s needs. Better to have supplies and not need them than get stuck and be
hungry.
STAY ALERT
Make sure you can see clearly through your windows in all directions to enable you to see at risk areas
on the road. Scanning further ahead gives you time to assess any risk. Be alert for other road users –
preparing for and anticipating other’s actions can help reduce the need to make emergency manoeuvrers
in poor weather conditions
Be alert to what’s in front of you. Don’t get caught out by a stop sign that just appears. Stay alert, plan
ahead, keep your driving smooth and controlled – this helps reduce the risk of loss of traction.
SLOW DOWN
Slowing down slightly will greatly increase your ability to react and control your vehicle. We all know that
time someone flew past and you're only two cars back from them at the next town. It's not worth the risk.
DROP BACK
Dropping back gives you more stopping distance, time to react and better line of sight to assess the road
conditions. Following too close may cause panic in the driver you are following, creating an unexpected
behaviour which you may not have time to avoid.

Selwyn.govt.nz/winterdriving.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Four wins on the trot for ‘big kid’
• By Dave Di Somma
LINCOLN-BASED trainer
Greg Manson believes his star
pacer Franco Marek could well
“become something”. But he’s in
no rush with the horse he says is
just “a big kid”.
The four-year-old has won
four from four since March with
Manson saying next year’s New
Zealand Cup is very much in his
thinking.
Bred by Spreydon Lodge,
Franco Marek is by A Rocknroll
Dance out of Miss Lisa. He was
bought and trained by the late
Donald Jones, who was Manson’s
boss at United Fisheries, a
company owned and run by the
Kotzikas family.
His debut was a tough
assignment. He finished sixth
in the 2020 Sapling Stakes won
by now champion four-year-old
Krug.
Then son Norm Leacock-Jones
took over the training, lining
Franco Marek up for his second
start where he finished third
behind Surfers Delight and
Samhara at Addington in March
last year.
That’s when the phone started
ringing.
“Norm was getting some offers
and he rang us and we got him,
for some pretty decent money.”
Joining Manson in the ownership
group were Andre Kotzikas
and Stephen Boyd – “an accountant
– not the horse trainer’.
The Kotzikas are a major player
in the sport, with Andre’s father
Kypros’ biggest triumph coming
in the 1997 New Zealand Cup
with Iraklis.
The family also own Lavros
Lodge, a highly regarded training
establishment in Christchurch.
Manson trains his horses
there as well as at his own 450m
track at Lincoln and on the grass
at Motukarara.
Manson took his time with
Franco Marek because of the
gelding’s erratic tendencies. It
was a year before he returned to
the races.
“He was a bit of a head case,”
says Manson, “I ended up spending
six months long reining
him because he would just flip
himself over for no reason.”
“He was very temperamental.”
Playing the long game certainly
seems to have worked.
“We have placed him pretty
good, he had a couple on the
grass (Methven and Geraldine)
and then one at Rangiora before
heading to Addington - that was
a big step up, especially off the
unruly.”
WINTER WARMERS
LONG
GAME: Greg
Manson with
temperamental
pacer Franco
Marek.
Off 10m, Franco Marek won
his Addington debut nearly
two weeks ago when he edged
out another promising pacer
in Carana. He is now unbeaten
in four starts for Manson. His
winning time for the 2600m was
3:13.3.
“He’s just a big kid, he gawks
around – he can run some time
but he has got lots to learn,” said
Manson.
“One guy who’s had a huge
bearing on his success is Johnny
Morrison (driver), he treats the
horse kindly and educates him. I
can’t thank him enough.”
For the time being Franco
Marek will be limited to standing
starts, the mobiles are just
not his go.
Said Manson: “He just gets too
worked up but the problem is
that there are not many stands
for him.
“He’s got a lot of improvement,
we haven’t done a lot of fast work
with him and we are hopeful he’s
going to be something.”
His next start is likely to
be on June 17 at Addington
where he’ll be joined again by
stablemate Copperhead Rose.
The pair lined up at Geraldine
on April 24, with Franco Marek
winning and Copperhead Rose
sixth. “Copper” was a chance
of starting in last year’s New
Zealand Cup before suffering a
ligament injury and Manson is
hopeful he can make the field
this November.
After next month’s assignment
Franco Marek is set to have a
break before he and Copperhead
Rose line up in the Maurice Holmes
Vase, one of the traditional
lead-up races to New Zealand
Cup week.
If and where “Frankie” lines
up on Cup day is yet to decided,
but Manson says “it won’t be the
Cup, he’s only a four-year-old.”
“But the cup in 2023 is
definitely the long-term goal.”

Penalty try seals win for Southbridge
• By Tatiana Gibbs
SOUTHBRIDGE showed true
grit to score a last gasp win over
Lincoln with a penalty try in the
88th-minute of a thrilling Luisetti
Seeds combined competition
match on Saturday.
Down 20-25 with 80 minutes
on the clock, home side Southbridge’s
reserve forwards proved
the telling point as they ground
out a 27-25 victory.
Southbridge had been reduced
to 14 players from the 35th-minute
when second five-eighths Peni
Manumanuniliwa was red-carded
for a dangerous high tackle, and
Lincoln lost lock Lyndon Dunshea
to a yellow card late in the
game.
The loss knocked Lincoln out of
a quarter-final spot.
Southbridge coach Reece Allen
said the make-up of the team’s
bench was crucial to how they
play the last quarter of the game.
“It’s quite a pivotal role for us,”
he said.
The scores were tied 10-all at
half-time. Allen said they didn’t
make it easy for themselves trying
to make too many offloads early
and ball handling wasn’t tidy.
“We could have had a pretty
chunky lead, but we were our
own worst enemies in the first
half. But we tidied that up after a
few educated words at half-time.”
VICTORY: Southbridge players are jubilant after they secured an 88th-minute penalty try
to beat Lincoln on Saturday.

Lincoln coach Bevan Sisson
said his team played a solid hardfought
65 minutes.
“We just got trapped in our
22 and then we got penalty after
penalty on us, and the game just
kept on going really. The time was
ridiculous,” he said.
Sisson credited Southbridge for
winning with just 14 men.
“We should have capitalised
better,” he said.
A win for Lincoln would have
taken them to the quarter finals
as the wildcard entry.
But miscommunication in the dying
minutes cost them dearly.
“We kicked it out thinking that
would be the game, and then the
referee said there’s another four or
five minutes to go and then they
got the ball back and away they
went,” said Sisson.
Southbridge now head confidently
into play-offs as the top
spot holder with 26 points.
The last round-robins saw
Ellesmere sides Prebbleton and
Springston seal quarter finals.
Darfield drew 43-43 with Oxford
to confirm their second qualifying
spot, but Waihora missed out
after losing Saturday’s match to
Kaiapoi 5-17.
Prebbleton coach Dave Kettles
said discipline and accuracy
work-ons paid dividends in their
must win 36-27 result over Glenmark
Cheviot: “We’ve been working
really hard on it at training,
and we got a bit of reward from it
yesterday.”
Southern scored a converted
try on full-time in pool C’s playoff
decider to steal Springston’s
lead and win 24-21.
But Springston gained a needed
bonus point from the narrow
margin to edge into a quarter final
regardless, in seventh position
with 21 points.
Said Springston coach Warwick
Reid: “We kept them honest for a
long part of the game … we’re gutted
but you’ve got to admire a side
that has the guts that they had.”
“It was an awesome scrum by
them I must admit,” Reid said of
the match’s last play.
“They put a fair chunk of
weight in, and they just made us
look like amateurs.”
Glenmark Cheviot joined the
quarter finalists sneaking in with
20 points in the eighth spot.

SELWYN RURAL LIFE
Gorge pest control underway
Rakaia Gorge, rich in biodiversity, is
the target of a four-year weed control
programme to protect the area’s precious
native plants and trees.
The gorge is home to diverse mixed
hardwood species (covering an
estimated 120 hectares), bluff shrublands
(an estimated 100ha), tussockland,
grasslands and two large wetlands.
At least 16 threatened and atrisk
native plant species have been
recorded in the area, including
Canterbury pink broom, and Rōhutu/
Myrtle – both nationally critical,
along with others that are regionally
uncommon.
The weed control programme is
being carried out over four years and
started after Selwyn District Council,
Environment Canterbury and
landowners asked for an assessment of
the gorge’s ecological values, and the
weeds that threaten them.
A three-month ecological survey
in 2019 involving fieldwork and
discussions with landowners identified
sycamore and cherry as two of the priority
weeds in the catchment. This is due to
their spread dynamics and risk factor to
native vegetation. Both species are now
being targeted mostly through ground
control efforts.
The main target will be Cotoneaster and
wilding conifers and the five landowners
across the site are making ‘in kind’
contributions such as removing cherry
and other weed trees and removing and
restoring other hill faces on farms within
the project area.
Environment Canterbury (ECan) land
management and biodiversity advisor,
Billy Bartrum, said the catchment was
a stunning landscape – comprising lots
of rare and threatened plants, and he’s
thrilled by the efforts to preserve it.
Andrew Spanton, senior biodiversity
advisor at Selwyn District Council, said
apart from previous landowners’ efforts,
until now there been little attempt
by agencies to control the weeds that
threaten the native species in the Gorge.
The multi-partnership project
is a great example of landowners,
stakeholders and agencies working
together to protect and manage
significant areas of indigenous
biodiversity, Spanton said.
An ECan survey of the upper Rakaia
River across 2017-18 found that most
key riverbed weed species (broom,
gorse, crack willow, grey willow and
tree lupin) were widespread, but there
had been no significant increase in their
distribution since a survey in 2013.
In some parts of the upper catchment
there has been a noticeable reduction in
the extent and density of infestations, as a
direct result of recent weed control work.
Financial contributors for the latest
work programme include Environment
Canterbury, the Ministry for Primary
Industries, the Trustpower Rakaia
Catchment Environmental Enhancement
Fund and Land Information New Zealand.
Selwyn District Council is helping with
the operational aspects and is also funding
work in the area that ties in with the
project.

Wheat Research for
Gluten Response
A Plant and Food Research scientist who grew up
around farms in the United States hopes to develop a
wheat cultivar to help people with gluten intolerance.
Dr Jamie Macalister’s work on genomics in wheat
looks at reducing gluten peptides that stimulate an
immune response. These peptides, called gluten
epitopes, are involved in triggering coeliac disease and
in gluten intolerances.
“My long-term goal is to help develop a unique
wheat cultivar, which could help those with gluten
intolerances and maybe help reduce exposure to
gluten, which can be a trigger for those genetically
disposed to coeliac disease,” he said.
The research has broad collaboration across the
supply chain – from growers and millers to bakers.
“Everyone is fully invested and wants the programme
to succeed because the benefits will flow across the
supply chain. We know people will pay a premium for
cultivars that meet certain criteria,” Macalister said.
Despite having the record for the highest yielding
wheats, New Zealand growers struggle to be
competitive because of lack of scale. Additionally, there
has not been a great deal of focus on the consumer
in wheat breeding. “The low epitope work is about
changing the focus from producing as much as you can
for as little as you can, to creating something desirable
that growers cannot easily replicate elsewhere.”
Macalister did not picture himself being a wheat
breeder until his Honours year at Colorado State
University where he was involved in exploring how to
incorporate genetic diversity into wheat populations.
“Wheat is an inbred crop and when you target a
handful of traits you can lose genetic diversity. The rate
of improvement in breeding then declines. We were
trying to kickstart the genetic gain by incorporating
diversity. I found that fascinating.”
As a child, Macalister spent time on farms owned
by extended family. “I developed enormous respect
for farmers. They work so hard and it is a bit
unrecognised. Yet it doesn’t get much more important
than feeding us all!”
Jamie joined Plant & Food Research in 2017,
bringing his knowledge from his time in Colorado
with him. “In this programme we are using a genomic
approach to identify the low-gluten epitope traits in
wheat,” says Jamie. “We could theoretically measure
physical traits, but we are talking about tons of
data. Using statistical tools and analysis is way more
efficient.”
The approach is quite new for wheat breeding and
still in early stages. “One of the most exciting things
we’ve discovered so far is that genetics are more
important for this trait than environmental influences
(the way a crop is grown).”
Ultimately, clinical trials would be required to
establish health benefits. And before that, cultivars
with potential need to consistently perform well on
the farm, in terms of yield and delivering an effective
product.
“It might take a while, but I’d love to see all the
research come to fruition with a low-epitope wheat
on the market. The prospect of adding value to a
commodity crop is exciting. It has the potential to
change the way we breed wheat,” Macalister said.

Lincoln Envirotown invites
people to get creative on
behalf of the environment
Lincoln Envirotown have “launched” two
exciting competitions which challenge
people to use their creative skills to
highlight environmental issues:
Selwyn High Schools’ Waste Art
Competition
This competition first ran last year at the
suggestion of a local businessperson who
donated generous prize money. It is open
to all High School students who attend
school in the Selwyn District or those of
High School age
who are home
schooled in
Selwyn. Students
must work
individually or
in pairs. The art
pieces must be
assembled or
constructed from previously used materials
which otherwise would have likely gone to
landfill.
All involved in judging and organising
this exciting project last year were taken
aback by the incredibly high standard of
the work and the creative way in which
students had used “throw away” materials.
It is to be
hoped that
this incredible
start sets the
standard for
another year
of excellent
Artwork. This
year the pieces
advertising
will be judged and
exhibited in the
Te Whare Tapere
space in the new
Rolleston Library
which will give
added prestige to
the artists.
More information regarding the
rules, some health and safety advice,
and timelines can be found by visiting
Humanitix or Lincoln Envirotown’s
Facebook Page or Website.
Focus for Future Environmental Film
Competition
This competition has been taking place
annually for many years now and has
remained very popular. Each year we see
different aspects of people’s environmental
concerns highlighted by short films. It is
open to everyone and attracts both groups
and individuals of all ages.
Last year the winners were two middle
school boys whose film “the Bika Boys”
extolled the virtues of getting out onto
bikes. Junior Environment Clubs, Adult
plant out projects and Kindergarten schools
were all in the mix.
At the “Oscar like” awards evening where
all films are viewed, it always is very clear
that the production teams have enjoyed the
project. There are category prizes as well as
the overall Kea Trophy for the best film of
the year.
Again full information and timelines can
be found by a visit to Humanitix or Lincoln
Envirotown’s Facebook Page or website.

Don’t let winter take the
colour from your garden
WINTER HAS officially arrived.
But just because the days are
getting shorter and the weather is
getting colder it doesn’t mean the
colour in your garden has to be
the same.
There are several flowers that
thrive in cool conditions – and
all of them pack a punch when it
comes to colour. And, coincidentally,
all begin with P – polyanthus,
primula and pansy.
Here’s another P word for you –
popular. Polyanthus, primula and
pansies are very popular at this
time of year. Probably one of the
main reasons they’re so popular,
is that they’re all easy to grow.
And it’s fair to say there is
a pansy colour or pattern for
everyone.
There are many benefits of
growing one or more of these
pretty plants, you need to work
out where to grow them.
All three grow really well in
hanging baskets and pots. This
is good if you like to move the
colour around your home or
garden.
If you do decide to pot your
plants, be sure to use a good potting
mix. This will ensure they
get a good start a good kick-start.
And wherever you plant them,
VIVID: Polyanthus will put on a great display and it is easy
to grow.
just make sure they get a bit of
sun.
Planting is easy, just dig a small
hole, put the seedling in and space
each one around 20cm from the
next.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
You can expect these pretty
flowers to add colour to your
winter in around six to eight
weeks. If you want to encourage
more flowering, pick off the dead
flowers.
GARDENING 31
Have the satisfaction of
growing your own celery
LIKE MOST winter vegetables,
celery takes time to grow and
mature.
Maybe it’s cheaper and it’s
certainly easier to buy from the
supermarket. But there is much
satisfaction and enjoyment from
growing celery yourself.
To grow great celery, the first
thing you need to do is prepare
your soil. Celery likes soil that’s
well-drained and sweet (and in a
full sun position), so make sure
you add lime before planting.
If you’re equipped to measure
PH levels, the reading should
be between five and six. Celery
also grows best in a garden that’s
raised and filled with potting mix
– so if you can make this combination
happen, you’re off to a
great start.
Once your soil is ready purchase
your seedlings.
When you’re ready to plant,
dig a hole approximately 3cm
deep. Pop in your seedling and
use compost to create a mound
around the plant. This blanches
the base of the stems and keeps
them tender. The good news is
you don’t have to keep mounding
like you do with some plants –
just keep your celery watered and
that should do the trick.
Plant each seedling 20 to 25cm
apart and continue this process in
Wednesday June 1 2022 Selwyn Times
rows across your garden. Celery
grows best this way, making it a
good companion plant for dwarf
beans, carrots, spring onions,
parsley and bok choy. In fact, if
you have any of these in your garden
and they’re ready to harvest,
celery is the perfect replacement
plant.
Your plants will develop slowly
at first, but in about 12 to 14
weeks, your celery should be
ready to harvest. Here’s a tip –
slide your thumb down the inside
of the fattest stalks and gently
twist to pull them off the plant.
Don’t cut the stalks off as the
stumps left behind will rot and
hinder the health of the whole
plant.
You may notice the homegrown
version doesn’t look quite
as perfect as the supermarket
variety, but it will definitely taste
as good – probably even better
thanks to the knowledge that you
grew it yourself.

Big Skoda Superb goes hybrid
NEW ZEALAND’S Skoda
distributor must be well pleased,
and so must its dealers.
Not only did Skoda secure a
big Corporate Cab order with
the Superb, but that same car
is also a go-to model for New
Zealand Police. That along with a
clever marketing and advertising
campaign, Skoda is travelling very
well in New Zealand at present.
The Superb spearheads the
company’s line-up here and
that is no surprise, it’s long been
a desirable large car with its
cavernous interior space and
desirable engineering elements –
clever engines and transmissions.
None of that is really a surprise,
the Czech Republic manufacturer
is partnered with Volkswagen, and
much of the product that comes
from the factories has elements that
cross-pollinate other VW product.
Given its alignment to
Volkswagen, it’s no surprise that
a view towards electric vehicles is
arriving fast and the Superb has
just landed in New Zealand with
a plug-in hybrid option – the iV –
joined as well with Octavia iV and,
soon to follow, the fully electric
Enyaq.
Let’s make it clear, the Superb
iV is not a full EV, it has a petrol
engine and that is the catalyst of
the hybrid system, it charges the
batteries and works in conjunction
with an electric motor to provide
drive. Not only are you getting a
cracker of a car, but you are also
doing something that can only be
beneficial to the environment.
The Superb iV lands here from
$72,990 in standard form, a highspec
Sportline adds $4k, that makes
it easily qualify for the clean car
rebate, a discount of $5750 comes
off the top end, the evaluation car
was actually a wagon and that adds
$3000 in each specification, but
it would be the car for me, I like
wagons and the Superb in this form
really appeals.
Interestingly, the price of the iV
compares well to its petrol engineonly
counterparts, the standard
Superb lists from $56,990 which
to me is also very good value.
There are a host of Superb models
– sedan, wagon and Scout – but
unfortunately the diesel option in
Superb is no longer with us.
That aside, the iV is powered
by a 1395cc, four-cylinder engine
that is both turbocharged and
supercharged. The twincharger
system is more than adequate
when you take into account
that it is constantly working
alongside an electric motor. Skoda
rates the Superb iV with a total
power package of 160kW and
up to 400Nm. The latter figure is
available from 1550rpm.
As with all hybrid systems, the
manufacturing objective is to
incorporate fuel economy into
the design. The TSi system is
long revered for thrifty use of
SLEEK: The Skoda Superb is available in wagon or sedan
form. Both have dynamic looks.
SKODA SUPERB iV: Large wagon with huge space and hybrid power.
fuel, and when you add the
benefits of electric propulsion it
merely sips fuel. Skoda rates the iV
in hybrid mode with an amazing
1.6-litre per 100km combined cycle
average.
Bear in mind that is at best
possible usage, even driving with
fuel economy in mind I couldn’t
replicate those figures, but I did
take the evaluation car back to the
dealership with the readout listing
at 6.6l/100km after four days in
my care, which included some
inner-city stop-start travel and my
usual highway run. At 100km/h on
the open road the instantaneous
readout sits at 4.4l/100km with the
engine loping over at just 2000rpm.
Other figures of relative
importance are a smart 7.8sec
standstill to 100km/h acceleration
time, and 7sec for a highway
overtake (80-120km/h). These all
make for good reading.
Drive is channelled through
a direct shift transmission, it’s a
driveline that doesn’t work much
differently than other vehicles from
the VW group and there’s nothing
wrong with that, it is fluid, smooth
and doesn’t need any kind of
special driving technique.
Incorporated into the system
are traditional drive mode options
– economy, sport and normal,
and if you want to manipulate the
gearing, that can be done through
steering wheel-mounted paddles.
Each of the drive modes work
• Price – Skoda Superb iV,
$79,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4862mm; width, 2031mm;
height, 1477mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1395cc, 160kW,
400Nm, direct shift
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.8sec
• Fuel usage – 1.6/100km
quite differently, it is a complex
system, but in essence it operates
with the driver completely unaware
of its operation.
Put simply, when using e-mode
the Superb will drive purely on
electricity up to a distance of
62km. In sport mode, both the
electric motor and petrol engine
are engaged to provide a more
dynamic feel. Hybrid-mode
switches between both the motor
and engine depending on need.
Along with all the high-tech
components, it must also be
remembered that comfort and
convenience has been a high
manufacturing priority, and
the ride quality of the Superb is
unsurpassed.
With its length of nearly 4.9m
the Superb is a big car but it doesn’t
feel like it is, it has light steering
feel and there’s no suggestion of
bulk. I took the test car through
some tight twists and turns heading
west towards our high country and
felt at ease when the tricky stuff was
presented.
It must be said the Superb in this
form doesn’t get the four-wheeldrive
system prolific through the
VW group, the hybrid system
driving to the front wheels only.
Over the years I’ve made no
secret of my affection for the
traditional station wagon. Sadly, it’s
a market that has struggled against
the popularity of the sport utility
vehicle, nevertheless, it was great
to have a wagon in my care for a
week.
As part of an organisational
process in the Kiddie-family
garage I took some clean debris to
the EcoDrop transfer station and
returned via Mitre 10 with some
shelving that was easily swallowed
under the liftback. That area is
enormous and also emphasises
the spaciousness of the Superb.
It’s no wonder that it has found
favour in an area that has long been
dominated by Holden.
Skoda have capitalised on
its demise, and I’m sure for all
those passengers who travel by
Corporate Cabs to the airport,
or by misfortune those who find
themselves in the rear of a police
car, will appreciate that space
equals comfort, and the Superb,
even in hybrid form, has that in
abundance.

Modernised Home - Super Lifestyle Location
Bells Road is an address that is often admired for the
calibre of properties, access to the West Melton Village and
commute to the city and this property sits well within those
parameters offering an unassuming but classically beautiful
family home, hidden at the end of a private drive and
surrounded in a gorgeous established garden setting.
The home offers four bedrooms with the master having a
generous size walk in robe and tiled ensuite bathroom. A
separate toilet, laundry and family bathroom, open plan
living and a separate snug.
Basking in sun, the living spaces are open plan with large
windows/doors in every direction capturing the garden
setting and extending the living space out to the outdoor
entertainment area. While the option of the snug for
night time movies provides further choices along with the
separate office space.
The modern well spec’d kitchen is the heart of the home
and offers acrylic bench tops, pantry, gas hobs and 1 ½ wall
ovens while sitting open plan with the kitchen and large
family area.
Outside the property has always been very well looked
after and offers a setting of mature plantings. For the green
thumbed, there is a greenhouse and the opportunity to
develop the vege garden, while within the entertaining area
is a pergola covered in Wisteria, a sight to behold when it is
in full bloom.
A double internal garage, two bay barn and a separate
workshop should satisfy the tinkerers/hobbyists while the
yards and washdown area is ideal for equestrian lovers. The
paddocks have been resown in the past few years and the
property benefits from the established shelter belts.
Our vendors are reluctant to leave this gorgeous 4ha
property but situation dictates a change for them. Call today
to arrange a viewing.

LookingTO BUY RURAL
LIFESTYLE PROPERTY?
Winter 2022
Four Seasons Realty
Rural | Lifestyle
Your Country Partner
During the winter months, we typically see
a slight slowdown in real estate markets,
and with the recent increase in interest rates
and tightening of lending policies having an
influence, we expect this to be the case in our
local market over the coming months.
After a number of buoyant years when buyers
often faced stiff competition for good rural
lifestyle properties we are recently seeing levels
of enquiry and listings more typical of past
years. There’s still very strong interest in the
Canterbury rural market, especially for sound
properties that are presented well with good
access to the city.
Begin planning and researching now so you’re
prepared when the perfect rural property
comes along!
Greg Roberts
Licensed Business Owner
Four Seasons Realty 2017 Ltd | Licensed Agent REAA 2008
WINTER TO-DO LIST:
1. Find an experienced real estate agent
Having an expert, local real estate agent on
your side is invaluable.
Working with someone who is knowledgeable
about rural lifestyle property listings, as well
as the local area can make a big difference.
Partnering with a real estate agent up front will
allow you to be the first to know when a rural
property is coming up for sale and if it will fit
what you are looking for.
2. Choose an experienced lender and get
preapproved
One of the best things you can do when
planning to buy a home is to get preapproved.
If buying a home in the country is your dream,
make sure you’re partnering with a lender who
understands the intricacies of rural property
lending and is able to offer you a long-term
fixed rate. Having a preapproval letter when
it comes time to offer on your dream home
could be the difference between acceptance
and rejection. Also, getting preapproved up
front gives you a realistic idea of what you
can afford. It’s very important to have a good
understanding of your finances when making
a large purchase like a home.
3. Prioritise needs vs wants
Once preapproved, you’ll have a good idea of
what you can afford. Now it’s time to translate
that into what is important to you in your
dream home. How many bedrooms do you
need? How many acres do you want to grow
rural lifestyle? Do you require any outbuildings
such as a barn? Evaluating your needs, wants,
and goals is an important discussion to have
up front so you are prepared when rural
properties are listed.
4. Start exploring locations
It’s time to evaluate what location/area you
are looking to buy in. Rural listings tend to be
sparser than those in town so having your area
narrowed down will help. Further, getting to
know the zoning restrictions for the area you
are looking in will be important, especially if
you plan to grow and develop your property
once you’ve purchased it.
Now just because the real estate market
slows down in June, August, doesn’t mean
you shouldn’t still be keeping an eye on the
market. Yes, there will likely be fewer listings,
but there might also be less competition from
other buyers. Further, sellers might be more
motivated to sell.
As things warm up and the smell of spring is in
the air, you’ll start seeing an influx in listings.
This is when all of your preparation work over
the winter pays off.
Timing is everything and being prepared
with your real estate agent and preapproval
will give you an edge on the competition.
When you find your dream property, you’ll be
ready to make the offer and work through the
purchase process with confidence.
At Harcourts Four Seasons we have a talented
and successful team of rural lifestyle specialists
that are constantly upskilling, we know the
differences between the rural lifestyle and
residential markets, whether buying or selling
our team are happy to guide you on the path
to achieving your real estate dreams.
“Given the improvements to the roading
network into and out of Christchurch, we’re
confident in the continued popularity of rural
lifestyle properties.”
“Our rural lifestyle agents have all owned, lived
or worked on lifestyle properties or farms, and
they’re all active in their local communities,”
Greg Roberts Co-owner explains. “It’s what
we’re all about.”

How to stay warm and dry
Kiwi homes contain hidden health
dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy
homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can
make a home more saleable as well as a
healthier place to live.
Many older homes are cold and damp
and sometimes have other hazards such
as lead-based paint and asbestos.
There are a number of steps to take to
make your home more healthy.
They include behavioural change,
the cheapest way to make your home
healthier is to open windows to ventilate.
If you’re out a lot, but want to increase
natural ventilation buy some security
window stays or locks that allow you to
leave windows slightly open when you’re
out. This can be a lot cheaper to buy and
run than high-tech systems.
If nothing else, insulate the ceiling and
under the house. The Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Authority (EECA) has
information on its website about funding
grants available through the Warm Up
New Zealand campaign.
By 1 July 2019 all rental properties
must have ceiling and underfloor
insulation Ventilation systems move
moisture from the air making the home
healthier and feel warmer.
Adding a sheet of heavy polythene
beneath a home can provide an efficient
moisture barrier beneath piled homes.
A heat pump will warm and ventilate
rooms in the winter and cool them in the
summer. Watch out for hard sell in this
market though and shop around before
buying heating or ventilation systems.
EECA suggests a number of different
options for secondary glazing, which is
cheaper than retrofitting double glazing.
Alternatives include DIY window
insulation, aluminium framed secondary
glazing on the inside of the existing
glazing, or acrylic sheets attached
internally.
The latest technology is Low-E films,
which are stuck to existing windows.
This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent
says Chris Olson, general manager of
ThermafilmNZ.
Healthy homes aren’t just about
insulation and moisture removal.
Using fewer toxic chemicals can make
your home healthier to live in. Parents of
young children sometimes worry about
exposure to chemicals as do asthma
sufferers. As a result some buyers will
also be impressed.
Dust mites can make a home
unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on
your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum
more often and empty the bag between
cleans.
Decluttering as well reduces the places
that dust can build up.
Mould spores can be very bad for your
lungs. If mould builds up anywhere
in your house clean it off as soon as
possible. If this is an ongoing problem
consider ways to reduce the humidity.
If your home was built before the 1980s
watch out for lead paint and asbestos.
Both should be removed by an expert.
For great results
and a “hassle-free
experience”

This is what my clients say about me...
“Karen has sold three properties for
me this year, all rentals that required
a great relationship with the tenants
as well as finding buyers. It was
interesting as some friends were
selling very similar townhouse on
the same street built by the same
developer, they were staggered with
the great outcome Karen achieved.”
“Karen has been nothing but highly
professional and extremely helpful
in our dealings with her. She had all
the necessary information about the
property which allowed quick and
thorough decisions to be made. I
would highly recommend Karen to
everyone.”
“Karen has exceeded our expectations
and delivered a very good result. Her
professional manner and enthusiasm
never faultered. An outstanding effort,
well done Karen.”
If you are thinking of selling,
I would love the opportunity
to meet with you.

[Edition datE]
Garages are
not all equal
Not all garages are equal. Smaller
townhouses may have a single garage
whereas larger homes are more likely
to have double, triple or even four-car
garaging.
Having more garaging has been more
popular in recent times. It can add an ‘x’
factor leading to a speedier house sale and
potential for a higher selling price.
However, how much garage space do
you really need?
Before committing to an even larger
home, take time to consider the purpose of
your garage. This may avoid the situation
where one or more vehicles is parked up in
the driveway due to there being no room
in the garage after work bench, garden
equipment, bicycles and other items are
packed in.
An outside shed may take out some
clutter, as will moving on unused
possessions, with the result that a standard
double garage may be sufficient.
While a larger garage will add square
metres, extra garage space costs less than
in other areas of a home because there are
fewer features.
At planning stage, map out what will
be stored in the garage. Take account
of the space needed for motor vehicles,
bikes, work bench, tools and gardening
implements, if these will be kept in the
garage.
List all the items, measuring each to
assess how they will fit into the garage.
Allow space for moving around and
getting into and out of the cars parked in
the garage, once bikes, ladders and the like
are stacked against the walls.
Attic trusses with a pull down ladder
could be included; a great way to gain
extra storage space for less used items.
Other features that will reduce clutter
may include built-in shelving and
storage cupboards, hanging devices like
hammocks suspended from the roof,
and bike hooks. These can make a huge
difference to the spaciousness of this very
practical part of the house.
Thinking of the garage doors themselves,
these can be custom made to fit. While
two or three single doors may be attractive
for accessing a larger garage, weigh up
garage door width and their practicality
should a larger vehicle need to be stored in
the garage at any time.
Including one or more windows will
allow natural light without the need to
open the garage door. The glass can be
frosted for privacy while a glass side
or back door will provide access to the
backyard. You might also include a
garage door through to the backyard.
Alternatively, a garage, carport, or parking
space down the side may provide storage
for a caravan, motorhome or boat and
access the yard.
Ensuring sufficient off-street parking
space out front is also often overlooked
and worth the investment.
Single doors into a larger garage are popular.
Three and four car garaging is popular.
Garage doors can be custom
made to fit a particular space.
Extra garage space costs less
than other parts of a home.
Nothing beats
working with
people you trust

significant drawcard of commercially favourable terms
for developers and investors, including no or low
development fees.
Campbell Taylor, Commercial and Industrial
Divisional Manager for Bayleys, advises that there
is currently a good mix of buying and leasing
opportunities for commercial and industrial properties
in Rolleston. Historically, Rolleston land was cheaper
to buy, as it was located further out of Christchurch;
this has now changed. However, at present, there is a
shortage of industrial stock. This shortage may result
from the hefty increase in land prices over the last 12-
18 months and the ever-changing cost of building. As
a result, the uptake of properties could be impacted,
resulting in increased rents.
Clients have specific needs regarding location and
building size, and it is a case of listening to what the
client may be looking for and working with them to
match a property to suit their needs. Several existing
businesses are expanding, and new projects are
underway, so their requirements must be carefully
considered. For example, Campbell states, “there
is a perceived need for storing more goods due to
transport”, and “the big transactions are all around
storage and logistics”. Some of these new projects are
already showing good interest. For example, on Pereita
Drive, there is a significant 105000 sqm, 12-metre stud
new building with expansion capability. At the same
time, on Factory Drive, there is a specific development
of 43 new “tradespeople-type” units with an office and
shorter term leases available.
Rolleston sees the continued desire for commercial
and industrial properties, which assists the area’s
growth. One benefit of having commercial and
industrial properties locally, Campbell states, “It allows
people to live and work in the same area.” In addition,
other Selwyn towns, such as Lincoln, Darfield, and
Leeston, are experiencing a growth in suburban retail.
Overall the continuing development of a variety of
commercial and industrial properties in Rolleston
brings more businesses, opportunities for employment
and more people to the area. As a result, while
Rolleston is acknowledged as the fastest growing
district in terms of population growth, it is now being
recognised as a significant industrial and commercial
hub.
