A NEW community patrol in
Rolleston and police appear to be
at odds over the amount of crime
in the town.
Rolleston Community Patrol
spokesman, Moneel Pratap, says
crime is increasing in the town
and across Selwyn in general.
But Senior Sergeant Anna
Lloyd said there was nothing
to suggest there has been a
significant crime rise. Police had
responded to “isolated incidents”
in Rolleston, she said.
Police data shows crime in
Rolleston rose on a monthly
basis from about 900 incidents
in June 2020 to a peak of about
1400 in mid-2021, before falling
to about 1200 in May this year.
But Pratap, the patrol’s
fundraising manager, said crime
had increased in Rolleston in the
three years that he has lived in the
town.
Pratrap’s concerns come as the
community patrol looks for more
volunteers and drivers.

THERE’S AN arm wrestle
of sorts on the front page
today between the Rolleston
Community Patrol and the
police.
It’s over differing views on
crime levels in the town, and
across the district in general.
The community patrol
says it is increasing in
Rolleston, but police statistics
show there has been a
decline in reported crime.
Police say social media
contributes to an incorrect
perception of how much
crime is happening and
there is a merit in that.
But it’s great to have
community patrols out there
helping to report and deter
crime.

THIS IS what the new sports
fields, dog park and other
recreational facilities near
Prebbleton look like from the
air.
Floodlit sports fields, a new
dog park and walking and cycling
paths are expected to open
later this year as part of the new
reserve on Birchs Rd.
Construction of the first stage
of the reserve is now mostly
complete, and facilities will open
to the public in November, after
grass areas have had time to
grow over winter.
The reserve is
a $17.2 million,
three-stage
project to
develop a 22
hectare park
providing
recreation space
for a rapidly
growing part of the district,
said district council major
projects property manager Phil
Millar.
“The reserve will be a huge
asset for the Springs community
and the wider district,” he said.
“It will add much needed
space for both active and passive
recreation, easily accessible to
both the Lincoln and Prebbleton
communities.
“We’ve worked with local
residents over recent years to
gather input into the design of
the park – and we’re confident
there will be facilities and spaces
here for the whole community to
enjoy.”
The first stage will include

three full-size and one half-size
lit playing fields, wide walking
and cycling paths, and a number
of cycle features such as jumps,
boardwalks and a snake run, as
well as a mini playground, car
parking and toilets.
Construction is due to start
this week on the next stage,
which will include changing
rooms, service connections,
pathways, lighting, landscaping
and the main carpark. This stage
should be completed by April
next year.
Millar said a special feature of
the park will be the large areas
of native planting for people to
explore. The bike tracks will be
linked to the existing rail trail
cycle network, which runs along
Birchs Rd.

BIGGEST “LARGE FORMAT RETAIL CENTRE”
IN THE SOUTH ISLAND FOR ROLLESTON
Rolleston Industrial Holdings has lodged a resource consent to build a large format retail centre
in Rolleston. It will be the biggest non-enclosed retail centre in the South Island.
“We have applied for resource consent from Selwyn District
Council to establish The Station, a large format retail
development with other commercial activities, buildings,
car parking and landscaping on 18 hectares of land north
of Jones Road, near IPort. Once built The Station will be 1.5
times bigger than Tower Junction,” says Rolleston Industrial
Holdings Director Tim Carter.
Tim Carter says the name of the large format retail centre,
“The Station”, was chosen to acknowledge Rolleston’s early
history as a railway terminal.
Colliers retail consultant, Evan Harris says The Station will
be the largest non-enclosed retail centre in the South
Island. “Large format open centres have become a lot more
popular in the last five years because of ease of parking as
you can park at the front door of the shops. They are also
destination centres.”
“The Station is well placed to meet the needs of the Selwyn
District, which is one of the fastest growing districts in the
country. It will also draw people from the rest of the South
Island, as well as Christchurch,” says Evan Harris.
Tim Carter says that The Station will generate a lot of cars,
cyclists and pedestrians and this must be considered by
Waka Kotahi as they seek feedback on a ‘straight’ flyover
connection between Rolleston township and industrial
areas. Carter says the original ‘skewed’ option, previously
proposed by Waka Kotahi, provides a much more accessible
overbridge, caters for growth in traffic to and from The
Station and accommodates a range of transport options for
people of all ages and abilities.
The Station will provide onsite parking for 1,906 vehicles
(including 71 mobility bays) and 181 cycle parks.
It is expected that The Station will include a wide variety of
retail and other amenities, including hardware and building
supplies, furniture/homewares, sportswears, fashion and
accessories, restaurants and cafes.
The resource consent is expected to be approved within 1-2
months, given that the activities are permitted by the zoning
and resource consent is only required in respect of minor
earthworks, waste management and access design matters.
Once resource consent is granted, work will start on The
Station in 2023.

A meeting will be held tomorrow
at 6pm at Te Ara Ātea
Rolleston library and community
centre to discuss possibly joining
Community Patrols of New
Zealand, an umbrella group supporting
volunteer patrols around
the country.
The district is already served
by Selwyn Community Patrol.
But with its growing population
the town needed its own patrol,
Pratap said.
Rolleston Community Patrol,
a registered charity, has secured
grants for operating costs including
a patrol vehicle.
Pratap said there had been an
increase in bullying of kids in
parks and a gang-related shooting
last week had rattled people.
Pratap said while there were
no instant solutions to crime the
community patrol was trying to
work together with police to ensure
Selwyn remained one of the
safest districts in the country.
Lloyd said the shooting was not
random.
“That was a very specific targeted
incident between people that
were known to police anyway, so
the threat to the community at
large was very low,” she said.
“I understand it makes people
nervous and they want to know
what’s going on. If we thought
there was a risk to the wider community
then certainly we’d be on
top of that, but, these are quite
specific incidents we’re talking
about.”
Bullying was an ongoing issue
in communities and local schools
were dealing with it well, Lloyd
said.
“I can think of one incident
that happened in a local park
recently and it did come onto the
community Facebook page. And
that was dealt with as a police
matter, absolutely.”
A perception of a crime surge
in the town was being fuelled
by comment on social media,

including Facebook community
pages.
Said Lloyd: “It can be an amazing
tool but the main thing [with
crime] is that we need to know
about it so we can look at the
evidence rather than just this free
for all that can happen on social
media.
“Because what that causes, is a
problem to look far bigger than
it actually is. And it removes…
the specific risk indicators – and
it makes people think anxious
when really there doesn’t need to
be.”

Lake Ellesmere planting trial aims to
re-establish submerged vegetation
IT IS HOPED an ambitious,
underwater planting trial at Te
Waihora/Lake Ellesmere will help
restore the ecosystem.
National Institute of Water and
Atmospheric Research scientists
are working to re-establish beds
of kōrepo (Ruppia megacarpa),
a tall submerged plant that
stabilises bottom sediments, helps
keep water clean, and provides
good habitat for fish and other
aquatic organisms.
Decades ago, the lake was
dominated by this vegetation –
until a massive storm in 1968 (the
same one that caused the Wahine
maritime disaster) ripped out the
plant beds.
It destroyed the lake’s filtration
system – fuelling algal blooms.
The kōrepo also had a buffering
effect on waves, and the loss of
this barrier caused sediment to
resuspend (stir up) – providing
nutrients for the algal growth.
As a result, the water became
permanently murky and the
kōrepo beds couldn’t re-establish.
In recent years, NIWA has been
working with the Te Waihora cogovernance
partners on a range
of activities to try and re-grow
other types of macrophytes (water
plants) in the lake, such asfennelleaved
pondweed (Stuckenia
pectinata) and horse’s mane weed
(Ruppia polycarpa).
However, none have properly
established.
In 2018 a coastal survey
revealed a couple of sites that still
supported kōrepo – including
Ashworth’s Ponds in North
Canterbury.
In 2020, the scientists gained
approval to collect this species
from the ponds.
The plants were then
transferred to a culture facility
made up of large plastic tanks in
Taumutu, close to the lake.
NIWA lead scientist, Mary de
Winton, said a range of treatment
methods were used.
“We were trying to evaluate
which techniques were best, both
for plant growth and also ease
of handling and planting into Te
Waihora,” she said.
This included trialling the
kōrepo in sand, soil and gravel
mixes (as a growth medium) and
planting them in biodegradable
pots, rock wool, hessian sleeves
or sacks, ready for transplanting
once they had established.
The team also had to ensure the
plants wouldn’t be ‘shocked’ by
their new environment.
Said de Winton: “In May, we
checked the salinity of the water
at Te Waihora and based on that
reading, we added salt to the
culture to help them prepare for
their move from freshwater to
brackish water in the lagoon.”
On June 19, 2022, the arduous
process began of transferring
around 700 potted plants to their
new home in Overton’s Bay, a
naturally sheltered part of the lake
on the western side.
Paul Champion, NIWA
principal scientist of freshwater
ecology, said conditions over
that four-day period were “pretty
horrid”.
“We had quite high winds and
the water temperature was pretty
low. At one point, we arrived
to find our hose and gloves
had frozen solid. But we wore
exposure suits, so it wasn’t too
uncomfortable,” he said.
The team included NIWA
hydrodynamics technician
Jade Arnold, who looked after
field logistics, was in charge of
transferring the material from the
growth facility to the lake.
Meanwhile, fellow scientist
Iñigo Zabarte-Maeztu – armed
with a face mask – was tasked
with securing each plant in its
spot, into depressions in sticky
mud on the lake floor.
Champion said a plastic mesh
cage was placed over a portion
of the kōrepo, to protect them from
water birds such as black swans.
“We want to see if bird
browsing is a reason that plants
haven’t previously been able to
persist in those areas.”
It’s hoped the kōrepo will start
growing in spring – and it will
be known by summer whether
they’ve established or not.
Said Champion: “We have
noticed from Google Earth that

other submerged vegetation

transplant site was capable of

short period of time.”

ambitious project – which could
potentially be a turning point for
the lake’s health.
“I don’t know if we’re going
to get there, but I think that by
putting that amount of material in
it, we’ve given kōrepo a
fighting chance.”

Super City status: Should we go for it?
Canterbury is set for a
population explosion –
but can councils cope?
Kurt Bayer reports
A SPRAWLING post-quake
Christchurch is projected to hit
a population of 640,000 over the
next two decades, but Auckland
mayors, former and current, are
divided over whether officials
should push to become a Super
City.
Christchurch city and its
satellite towns are expected to
grow by 150,000 people by 2048,
according to latest Statistics NZ
projections.
City planners say New
Zealand’s second biggest city is
well-geared for the growth, and
light-rail is being considered
to cope with urban sprawl that
is already connecting outlying
suburbs with booming areas
in neighbouring Selwyn and
Waimakariri – two of the
country’s fastest growing
districts. Selwyn alone is
predicted to jump from its
current 60,000 population
to 100,000 by 2043 – and
Waimakariri from 61,000 to
80,000.
However, some business leaders
and politicians are concerned at
a lack of spending and planning,
with transport, housing, water
infrastructure, and the ongoing
debate of the delayed and
controversial multi-use arena
being serious issues looming on
the city’s horizon.
It has led to questions over
whether becoming New
Zealand’s newest Super City
could be the best approach to
tackling the burst of growth,
which will see tens of thousands
of new homes built.
Auckland
Mayor Phil
Goff says the
City of Sails
has “benefited
significantly”
from becoming
a Super City in
2010.
Phil Goff
Before the
move, which involved seven
local councils and a regional
council, there was “a high level
of dysfunction”, Goff says, with
councils frequently unable to
agree on regional priorities,
planning and infrastructure
investment.
“The establishment of a unified
council
enabled for the first time in
Auckland a regional approach to
housing, transport and
environmental infrastructure,”
Goff says.
“It has also enabled the new
Auckland Council to take
advantage of efficiencies of scale
and implement a successful
regional planning structure with
the creation of the Auckland
Unitary Plan.”
But former Auckland Mayor
John Banks, who served for two
terms from 2001-2004 and 2007-
2010, warned Cantabrians to
GROWTH: Auckland officials are divided over whether officials should push for
Christchurch to become a Super City.

approach any amalgamation with
extreme caution.
“They should be very cautious
indeed,” he says.
Banks claims
that Auckland’s
Super City
switch, while
seeming a sound
concept and
philosophy, has
been a “disaster”,
especially around John Banks
accountability for
elected officials.
“The practical reality of the
Auckland version is that it
just hasn’t worked out,” he says.
“That’s mainly around the
lack of accountability out to
the poorer parts of the city –
poorer meaning, parts of the city
right out on the reaches which
have had generations of underinvestment
in the super-structure
for growth.
“The council here, since
amalgamation, have substantially
been toadies to the mayoral
office line. What pushback there
has been has always been in the
minority and has not made a
difference.
“Auckland is beginning
to creak and sink under the
mountainous debt load which
defaults to not having the
capacity to do the infrastructure
development that we’ve left
unattended for so long.”

MP for the

District Matt

doesn’t see any
immediate
need for
amalgamation,
but says it’s
“vitally important” that the
Matt
Doocey
respective councils work “more
collaboratively on back-ofoffice
services to ensure less
duplication”.
A Canterbury Mayoral Forum,
comprising mayors of the 10
territorial authorities across
the vast Canterbury region,
from Waitaki to Hurunui, and
including the regional council
Environment Canterbury, has
already been set-up to provide
“one strong voice”.
As part of its long-term
vision, the forum has identified

to latest Statistics NZ projections. GRAPH: NZ HERALD
five priority issues: Three
Waters, climate change, better
freight transport, sustainable
environmental management
focusing on land use and
freshwater management, and
“shared economic prosperity”.
While a proposal for light
rail was ditched in the hurried
post-quake rebuild blueprint, the
feasibility of mass rapid transit,
linking Rangiora in the north,
and Rolleston in the southwest, is
being investigated.
A business case is being looked
at by the Greater Christchurch
Public Transport Futures
partners – Waka Kotahi NZ
Transport Agency, ECan, the city
council, and Waimakariri and
Selwyn district councils.
Canterbury Employers’
Chamber of
Commerce chief
executive Leeann
Watson says some
councils across
the region are
more visionary
and proactive
than others.

an ambitious and progressive
city “that details what we want
Christchurch to become and be
known for”.
“Investing in major
infrastructure projects tends to
only happen when it is a clear
and present problem,” says
Watson.
“We need to get better at
identifying infrastructure
requirements and building
them before they are needed,
as opposed to when they are
needed.”
But John Higgins, the city
council’s head of planning and
consents, believes they’re on
track to handle the population
growth, with the planning
system enabling development
and investment “in areas where
there is demand”.
He cites the example of
Halswell, where infrastructure
was plugged in to support
housing overflow after the 2010-
11 earthquakes.
“The benefits of growth are
that more people are able to
live, work and enjoy being
in greater Christchurch, and
if we plan well and in a coordinated
way – such as we are
– we can do our best to ensure
development is sustainable,
encourages emissions’ reduction
and contributes to our climate
resilience,” says Higgins.
“Our key issue is to ensure
that planning for the population
growth, changing household
density and addressing the
challenges of climate change are
undertaken in a co-ordinated
way (locally and sub-regionally),
so that investment decisions
come on stream at the right time,
in the right place and in the right
way.”

There’s hope Freyja will still be found
• By Tina Grumball
IT HAS been two months since
swedish vallund Freyja vanished
from her home, but her owner is
refusing to give up hope.
“I don’t want to give up on her,
it’s only been eight weeks,” Lyla
Arthurs said.
Freyja went missing on May
21.
Within 25 minutes of being
let outside into her yard, she had
vanished into thin air.
A small dog, Arthurs believed
Freyja had squeezed under the
gate. The seven-month-old had
done it before to sit at the end of
the driveway.
Immediate efforts to find her
proved unsuccessful, leaving
Arthurs unsure whether Freyja
had wandered off alone or had
been taken.
Arthurs thought someone
might have been spooked by the
social media posts she put up in
the days following, and dumped
Freyja in the area she was spotted
in, 10km from her home.
Arthurs said there were three
sightings within a couple of days
around the Doyleston area.
An expert she hired, who had
tracked for the police and Land
Search and Rescue, found definitive
evidence that Freyja had
once been in that area.
However, after weeks of seeing
nothing in trail cameras they
installed, Arthurs said her pup
could have moved on.
“We really have no clue now.
“We’ve had a few nasty people
tell us we’re irresponsible pet
owners and there was a little bit
of bullying from a few locals,”
she said.
“But overall, most people have
been so positive and supportive,
and so helpful.”
Freyja is one of less than 1000
of her breed in New Zealand,
and appears like a cross between
a german shepherd and a corgi.
“The vallund community
knows that she’s missing,” Arthurs
said.
If anyone saw what they
thought could be Freyja, they
should not be afraid to ask the
person with them, she said.
An identifying feature of her
“extraordinary” pet was that
Freyja was born with no tail.
VANISHED: Lyla Arthurs’ swedish vallund Freyja has been
missing for two months.
“She doesn’t have a stump, she
has a tuft of hair where her tail
should be.”
Freyja had been a great support
to Arthurs, who suffers
from myalgic encephalomyelitis
and fibromyalgia, which cause
her pain everyday.
“[Freyja] is very much missed,
especially while we were sick
with Covid. She always curled
up and slept with me, where
she slept at night was right
next to me.”
Arthurs said they had tried
everything to find their pup, but
had hope someone would see her
or she would turn up.
“We just need people to keep
their eyes open and peeled . . . it
doesn’t matter where you are”.

information about Freyja
is asked to phone or text

Take a stand for Selwyn in local elections
NOMINATIONS for local
elections are now open –
and the district council is
encouraging people of all
ages, ethnicities, abilities and
backgrounds to stand, to help
represent the diversity of the
rapidly growing district.
Nominations opened on
Friday for candidates for mayor
and 10 councillors, along with
five members of the Malvern
Community Board.
District council deputy
electoral officer, Stephen Hill,
said local democracy is vitally
important to ensure everyone’s
voice is heard and there is the
best opportunity for good local
decision making.
“It’s important we have
elected members representing
the full diversity of our
community,” he said.
“As a councillor or
community board member,
people get the chance to make a
real difference, and contribute
to decisions that shape how the
community will look in the
future.”
Hill said candidates should
aim to get their nominations
completed as early as possible,
so electoral staff have plenty of
time to check that everything is
in order and all documentation
is completed by the deadline.
Nominations close at midday
on Friday August 12.
Nomination forms, plus
a candidate handbook with
detailed information on the
election process, are available
from council service centres or
online.
The elections web page www.
selwyn.govt.nz/elections will
also provide a list of candidate
nominations, updated daily
as nominations are c
onfirmed.

– listing those who are enrolled
to vote in Selwyn – will be

Chch buyers behind Methven’s growth
• By Nikki Preston
CHRISTCHURCH buyers are
fuelling a surge in house prices
in Methven.
The ski town’s average
property value has jumped more
than $100,000 in the last 12
months to $693,000, according
to the latest OneRoof Valocity
house value figures.
Bayleys Methven agent
Fee Ensor said Methven is
“booming”, with buyers –
mainly from Christchurch – on
the hunt for holiday homes that
they can rent out on Airbnb. But
there are also buyers from other
parts of New Zealand who are
seeking to relocate and live in the
town permanently.
Mt Hutt ski field, which the
town serves, has been a firm favourite
with skiers and boarders
looking beyond Queenstown’s
snow resorts, but the town has
started to attract summer visitors.
Since the Opuke Thermal
Pools and Spa opened in the
area in November last year,
occupancy for accommodation
in the town had gone up from
30 per cent to 70 per cent – and
that was before the ski season
started.
Ensor said Methven houses
prices are relatively low compared
to the rest of New Zealand,
with the price of older entrylevel
homes starting at $400,000,
while newer homes fetch around
$800,000.
An alpine-style three-bedroom
home at 60 Spaxton St is for sale
by negotiation and has an RV
of $430,000, while a three-bedroom,
two-bathroom property
at 83 Barkers Rd is being sold
by deadline and has an RV of
$670,000.
Ensor said there are not too
many houses to choose from
right now, but there are plenty
of sections, including a 676sqm
section in Camrose Estate for
$260,000.
“If you are buying a piece of
land up Castle Hill you are paying
over $500,000 for that – for
a bare land section – and we are
still under $300,000. You buy
a section in Rolleston – it’s just
Rolleston – and you are looking
at sort of $350,000.”
Other new lifestyle subdivisions
include Thyme Stream and
Kakariki View.
Being only one-hour’s drive
from Christchurch International
Airport also gave the town a
major advantage.
Just this week, Ensor had
shown investors around the
town and said they had been
“blown away” by its facilities.
“The potential and
opportunity in Methven is
huge at the moment. I think
it’s just going to keep on
growing.”

Getting to the root cause of digestive
problems at Marvel Health
Many people suffer from recurring digestive
problems that may be resistant to treatment.
These problems range from chronic or recurrent
stomach pain, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation,
acid reflux, nausea and vomiting and intolerance
to foods.
And over time, these problems can cause other
issues such as fatigue and weight problems.
The typical treatment for such problems is
antibiotics and acid suppressants such as
Omeprazole which may work for a short while.
The problem with Digestive diseases is that they
can have many different causes, and they may
require extensive investigations to get to the cause.
Microbes are a common cause, and identifying the
exact type is crucial for recommending a therapy
that works.
Food Allergies and Sensitivities also cause
digestive issues.
Digestive problems may also occur from a sluggish
bowel, cysts in the pancreas, or polyps in the
stomach, or they may also arise from dysfunctions
in unrelated body systems. A weakened immune
system will encourage microbial growth, which

The scan can pick up inflammation in all body
organs, including the stomach, intestines, liver and

Winter may be cold and dreary, but
Aimee from Reinvent Boutique is all
about colour and fun and says, “Just
because it’s winter doesn’t mean we
need to be dressing just in black.”
Reinvent Boutique opened at its larger,
brighter Vernon Drive premises in
October 2021 and sells mostly preloved,
clean and carefully selected
clothing and a selection of brand
new with tags (BNWT) at greatly
discounted prices. This warm and
cosy shop, with its fresh-smelling and
inviting ambience, is a place for people
wanting to try on clothing. With a great
location, there is easy accessibility and
excellent parking. Work keeps the team
busy, and inside the boutique, you
will find orderly and well-organised
displays of clothing (up to size 22) and
a second chance. Aimee recommends
that people wear the colour and shape
that suits them, which is better than
choosing something just because that’s
the latest fashion trend. Although
Aimee has a strong fashion sense, she
doesn’t like to focus on trends, and
she says, “I think the most fashionable
people are the people that wear what
truly suits them.”
Reinvent Boutique also has a popular
website selling all the in-store items
online, enabling Reinvent to sell to all
of NZ so Aimee’s regulars know the
importance of purchasing quickly to
avoid missing out. Aimee also provides
regular live videos on social media that
showcase new arrivals. These videos
are a great way to see what’s available
and are a drawcard for people to check
out other products on the website or to
come into the boutique.

Seasonal, vibrant lightweight knits are

Southbridge’s Boston Horn makes a break.
Isileli Fine
Home semi for Waihora despite loss
• By Tatiana Gibbs
WAIHORA SEALED a home
semi-final after clinching just
one point from Saturday’s 22-29
loss to Southbridge, after putting
in a massive finishing effort
to bring a 7-29 losing margin
within just seven points to retain
second place hosting duties.
With regular play now
complete, semi-finalists Darfield,
Waihora, Prebbleton and
Southbridge progress to the
play-offs.
Darfield host Coleman Shield
holders Southbridge and Waihora
and Prebbleton will fight for a
grand final spot at Tai Tapu.
Prebbleton coach Dave Kettles
said if the weather permits, their
semi will be nothing short of a
“good spectacle”.
“They’re always hard to beat at
home, so we’re under no illusions
as to how difficult it’s going to
be, that’s for sure.”
Darfield remained unbeaten
winning all eight matches,
while last year’s Coleman Shield
winner Southbridge qualified
fourth with five wins.
Southbridge came out on top
in Saturday’s battle which saw
them dominate Waihora for
the first 50 minutes clocking up
a 22-point lead. But Waihora
finished the match how they
started, scoring tries.
Waihora had the first
breakthrough following
scrum pressure just 10m from
Southbridge’s goal line. The
ball was passed out to first
five-eighths Myles Hamilton
who burst through a tackle
and offloaded to number eight
Geoffrey Beaumont to score.
Left: Hamish Maw. (Above) – Dylan Winsloe pushes past
Boston Horn and Jack Dobie.
Hamilton converted the kick and
Waihora led 7-0 after 14 minutes.
But a flurry of three
Southbridge tries closed out
the first half to give the bridge
a convincing 22-7 lead. Lock
Hamish Maw, left wing Thomas
Turner and fullback Boston
Horn all touched down while
first five-eighths Shannon
Donald successfully cleared two
conversions and a penalty.
Waihora’s captain and hooker
Liam Robinson said his team
“fell asleep” whilst Southbridge
clocked up points heading into
half time.
“We got within seven (to
finish), but we were just not
urgent enough and they probably
wanted it more in that first 40
minutes.” Robinson said.
Waihora’s woes continued into
the second half right from their
kick off not passing the 10 metre
line. Six minutes into the half
Southbridge clocked up points
again as lock Isileli Fine ignited a
converted try to move their lead
to 7-29.
But Waihora closed out the
last 25 minutes in a second gear
to keep their home semi chances
alive with two tries from wing
Cam Tippet and lock Heiko van
Zwieten.
With one try converted,
Waihora trailed by 10 and opted
to take a chance at three points
when they won a penalty just
in front of the posts with four
minutes to go to reduce the
margin to within seven securing
their bonus point.
Replacement first five-eighths
Brett Gillan lined up for the kick
and made his attempts two from
two to conclude the match’s last
points.
Southbridge coach Reece
Allen said piling up points in the
first half was “the sealing of the
game”.
Allen’s looking for a do-over
in Saturday’s semi-final against
Darfield after going down to
the top qualifiers in a nail biting
affair early in round robins.

“In all honesty that was probably
our worst game, so if we can
lose in a close game when we
play poorly, then they will have
to be very strong to beat us when
we are playing how we are now,”
Allen said.
But in spite of his team finding
form, Allen said his injury struck
team is ”definitely running into
the finals as a bit of an underdog”
regardless of having the Coleman
Shield locked in their cabinet.
In other matches top of the table
Darfield cruised home with a
59-12 victory over Rolleston, and
semi-finalists Prebbleton kept
West Melton scoreless in their
48-0 win.
Lincoln denied play-offs contenders
Springston of that chance
with a 50-36 victory to end their
season on a winning high.
Lincoln coach Bevan Sisson
said the fact his side had nothing
to lose proved the edge in the
evenly fought match.
“It was top and tail, and then
we got a bit of a break early in the
second half and then we just kept
that momentum going.”
“We said (to the team) we’ve had
all these moves that we’ve trained
so let’s just use every one that we
can because we’ve got nothing else
to worry about, and just go out
and enjoy it,” Sisson said.

PAHŪ!
EXPLODING AT TE ARA ĀTEA
Selwyn Stars showcases young
local talent
The Selwyn Stars for 2022 have been crowned. The talent search
finals held at the Rolleston Community Centre featured 12 finalists
as young as 5, performing a range of acts from singing and dancing
to playing the bagpipes, drums and violin.
First place went to 13-year-old Maddison McDonald who performed
Lost, a lyrical dance choreographed by Chloe Levings. Maddie has
been working with Chloe since the age of 9, inspiring her to perform
whenever she can.
Second place was Belle Switalla, aged 12. She performed Circus, a
jazz solo. Belle dreams of being a professional dancer. Her goal is to
go to New Zealand School of Dance and hopefully one day dance
on Broadway.
Miranda Parkes’ scrunched canvas work "Open Relationship" in the foreground with Clara Wells' animated
moving-image work "The Search & The Return" behind.
A new six-month long exhibition, just opened at Te Ara Ātea, has completely changed the ‘vibe’ in
the building.
Pahū! is inspired by the observations of visitors who have visited Te Ara Ātea in Rolleston for the
first time. It opened on Thursday and holds some surprises, according to Co-Leader of Te Ara Ātea,
Mat Logan.
Pahū means burst or pop, so visitors to Te Ara Ātea will encounter unexpected artworks in
unexpected places; in glass cabinets but also exploding from the walls and ceiling.
11-year-old Libby Houghton took third place, singing and tap
dancing Naughty, from the Broadway musical Matilda, based on
the popular book by Roald Dahl. The song celebrates the idea that
sometimes you have to cause a little mischief and be a bit naughty.
More than 40 competitors entered Selwyn Stars this year. The
winners took home prizes including an iPad mini, Instax mini
camera and UE Wonder Boom.
Other winners included Ethan Jack, a magician, and drummer
Natalie McKay. The audience engagement prize went to Amelia
Albin performing a Bollywood dance, and the prize for enthusiasm
was won by dancer Carys McDonald.
Mat says it’s an exciting opportunity to show just how well Te Ara Ātea can blend art exhibitions, a
public library, community spaces and heritage experiences in one place.
“Some people might not normally visit a public art gallery but do visit Te Ara Ātea, so they will get
the chance to see significant contemporary New Zealand art of the highest standard,” he says. “We
think visitors will really enjoy the exciting and surprising artworks on display.”
Pahū! features works by Janna van Hasselt, Judy Darragh, Miranda Parkes, Turumeke Harrington
and Clara Wells, each responding to the multi-use nature of the showcase building with an air
of mischief.
Pahū! curator Chloe Cull, Arts Programme Coordinator at Te Ara Ātea, says that the artists have
approached this exhibition with a sense of celebration, hoping to surprise visitors with bold colours,
shapes, and materials.
Clara Wells and Turumeke Harrington have even used Te Ara Ātea to inspire some new works.
Wells’ work spans 20 metres of curved wall from the main entrance and transmits messages across
an ethereal background.
Harrington’s work Hei Aho acts as a place marker. It is underpinned by cultural stories and taonga
species like flounder (pātiki) and the cabbage tree (tī kōuka). Tī kōuka was used by her Ngāi Tahu
ancestors as signposts on the Canterbury plains. Her work is a glowing beacon in the first-floor
window of the building.
Mat says the plan is for exhibitions at Te Ara Ātea to rotate about every six months.
The key to safer driving in Selwyn
The rain poured down outside
Te Ara Ātea last Tuesday, as the
keys to the new Community
Driver Mentor Programme
(CDMP) vehicle were handed
over to Proactive Driving
Instructor, John Langan by Lions
member, John Benefield (photo,
centre left).
This event hosted by Proactive
Drive who run the CDMP,
achnowledged the Council’s
sponsorship of the car, alongside
other sponsors including Selwyn
Lions, Rolleston Lions and
Faringdon Rolleston.
Local elections – do you know
what ward you’re in?
Selwyn voters at the upcoming local elections are being encouraged
to familiarise themselves with new ward boundaries – as most of
them have changed.
Unprecedented population growth has resulted in a new Rolleston
Ward replacing the former Selwyn Central, with three councillors
instead of the current four.
All other wards keep the same representation, but West Melton is
now part of the Malvern Ward, while an area between Burnham and
Rolleston moves to the Ellesmere Ward.
The Malvern Community Board keeps five members elected from
the Hawkins and Tawera subdivisions, plus a new subdivision
covering West Melton.
The total number of councillors drops from 11 to 10, elected from the
four wards, with the mayor to be elected across the entire district.
Nominations for Council, Community Board and Mayor opened on
Friday and close at midday on Friday 12 August. Voting packs will go
out the following month, with postal voting open from 16 September
to election day, Saturday 8 October .
To check what ward you are in, see our maps online at selwyn.govt.
nz/elections – including an interactive map where you can enter
your address and see the ward it’s in.
Our web page is also the place to keep up to date with the latest
elections information – including a list of confirmed candidates
which will be regularly updated through the nominations period.
The CDMP helps new drivers in
Selwyn to obtain their restricted
or full licence, by overcoming barriers stopping them from learning how to drive — such as cost and
access to a vehicle or lessons.
The Council supports each learner with three driving lessons from a driving instructor from Proactive
Drive. This sponsorship significantly reduces the cost for the learner.
Faye Lammers, Selwyn’s CDMP Coordinator says it is a privilege to be involved with a programme
which has so many positive outcomes.
“The sponsorship of this vehicle is incredibly important. Having a licence not only increases confidence
and the ability to be independent, it also opens up employment opportunities and reduces the isolation
often experienced in a rural district."
Currently there are about 30 driving mentors involved with this programme throughout Selwyn.

Baggy caps presented to long-term
Lincoln Cricket Club members
• By Tim Fulton
SERVICE: (From left to right) – Craig Crawford (Lincoln Cricket Club president), Wal Scott, Eion Barclay (brother of Gavin),
Bruce Tweedy (son of Errol), Greg Jones (son of Wyn).
The life members are all standing in the middle row, starting at second from left – Wyn
Jones, Errol Tweedy (in red suit), Gavin Barclay and Wal Scott.
LINCOLN CRICKET Club has
honoured long-time contributors
with life membership caps.
The club awarded the monogrammed
Lincoln Cricket baggy
caps to Wal Scott and the family
of three deceased members,
Wyn Jones, Gavin Barkley and
Errol Tweedy. The men will have
plaques on a new honours board
in the Lincoln Rugby clubrooms.
Lincoln entered the senior
competition in 1947 and started
a golden run of championship
wins through the 70s and 80s. By
1985 the club had won outright
or tied for the Ellesmere competition
12 times.
Wal Scott joined Lincoln in
1966 and his first bit of silverware
came in the 1968/69
season, when the senior team
won the P V Bailey Memorial
Cup. Wal, captain and opening
the batting, had a top score that
season of 165 not out. The following
season the team won the
Ellesmere Cricket Association
Shield.
“It was a lot of fun and we
tended to have pretty intense
competition against Leeston;
they were always a pretty strong
team in those days,” he said.
“To be fair, we had a pretty
good team. We had four or five
what you’d rep cricketers for the
sub association, and then we had
three or four guys from Lincoln
High who all left together – and
they were all rep players. So,
you’re bringing these young fellas
in, plus another couple and
all of a sudden you’ve got quite
an outstanding side.”
In 1970, Wyn Jones moved
into the district, down from
Dannevirke for his work as a
school teacher. It didn’t take Wyn
long to prove his abilities and he
quickly established himself as a
valued member with his bowling
and batting.
In 1972, Gavin Barkley made
his debut for the seniors As. He
was a strong hitting middle order
batsman who went to play about
12 seasons for the side until
1984/45. At the life membership
ceremony it was recalled Gav
was also known to enjoy a cigarette,
roll-your-owns usually, and
there was a fair bit of smoking
that occured while out fielding.
Wal recalled a game played
against Leeston. Gav was fielding
on the square leg boundary, rolling
a fag. Wayne Nordstrom hit
the cover off one straight towards
square leg. Gav stuck up one of
his big paws, caught an absolutely
screamer, while still rolling the
cigarette in his other hand.
Errol Tweedy, one of the
club’s original recipients of a
life membership, was an
opening batsman and wicketkeeper
who started his cricketing
career with Dunsandel before
World War 2.
Recalling his father’s contribution,
Errol’s son Mark said:
“Like so many young men of his
generation, Errol’s cricket was interrupted
by World War 2 when
he headed off to North Africa
and Europe. While this derailed
the careers of many promising
sportsmen, for Errol it had the
opposite effect and it seems like
this served as a four-year stint
at an overseas cricket academy
because his batting really took
off when he returned home and
started playing for Springston.
Mum has been though Errol’s
letters home from war and it’s
clear that there was plenty of
time for cricket, as well as the
small matter of winning a war.”
Errol featured frequently in
The Ellesmere Guardian, where
they used phrases like “Tweedy
batted forcefully”. One report
reads: “Tweedy fought for the
runs but in an attempt to hit
a full toss into the Springston
township, he missed, the ball
dropping in flight, descending
onto the wickets with the wreckage
of a bomb.”
In the 1960s Errol moved to
the Lincoln, where he played for
the next few years, still picking
up the occasional half century.
His contribution to Lincoln
was mostly off the field though.
As well as coaching at Lincoln
High School, Errol became club
president in 1964 and remained
in that role for 31 years.
His successor as president,
Greg Hills told a story at Errol’s
funeral in 1998.
He said that he had run into
Errol a couple of months earlier
outside the shops in Lincoln
and mentioned that they were
struggling to get a senior team
together.
Errol’s son Bruce was playing
for the team and they’d had to
bring in Bruce’s son Ryan, who
can’t have been older than 12 or
13, to play as well. Errol, who
was 78 at the time, jogged in off
three paces, rolled his arm over
and declared himself available
for Saturday.
When Errol joined Lincoln he
started a family tradition that has
seen either him, or at least one
of his children, grandchildren
or great grandchildren playing
or contributing off the pitch
uninterrupted for the last 58
years.

Term 2 Update
Principal’s Message
Term Two has been another busy but extremely
rewarding term for the College. It was delightful to
be able to celebrate with a Senior School ball after a
year’s hiatus due to Covid 19. It was lovely to see our
learners dressed in their finery and to take stock of the
wonderful young adults they are.
In terms of progress towards the new campus term
two has also been a productive one featuring public
meetings with both the West Melton Residents
Association and the Rolleston Residents Associations
to gain further public opinion on what people would
like to see offered at our new Senior Campus. The
Education Brief that informs the Architect’s design is
now with the Ministry of Education’s property team and
we look forward to being able to share some building
plans later in the year.
In the Performing Arts our cast continues to work on
the musical Blood Brothers and we look forward to this
taking to the stage in August. A special thanks to Phil
and Lex Dean community volunteers who have given
their time to assist with this production.
Our sporting results
continue to be very
pleasing and again
we are blessed to
have a large number of
community and parent
volunteers willing to give their
time to support the learners at our
college in their chosen sports.
Rachel Skelton, Principal
Term 2 Sports Update
Sport continues to thrive at Rolleston College. Term 2 saw sport
open up again for learners and we experienced some fantastic
results from all of our teams. There are a large number of sporting
opportunities at college and many of our teams are playing in the
top competition. Some key highlights from Term 2 are:
• Junior A Football Boys epic 6-5 win over Cashmere
• U15 Boys rugby fantastic with over Ashburton College
• Girls Hockey are sitting 4th in their table and had a brilliant win
over Rangi Ruru
• Thompson Wheelan Boys Basketball have won 7 out of 8 games
and remain top of the table
• Senior A Netball team beat Papanui Senior A and will now play for
a spot in Supernet Reserve
• Selwyn Schools Combined 1st XV secured their spot in top 10 with
wins against Rangiora, Waimea, Roncalli
Head Student Message
Term 2 has been a busy term, we have been working
hard on NCEA as we prepare for school exams in Term
3. We have also had opportunities this term to connect
and work with Head Students from schools throughout
Canterbury at different events. This has inspired us as
a group to host a Head Student Hui in Term 3, inviting
Head Students across Canterbury to discuss Youth
Mental Health and planning initiatives we can run
in our respective schools. Building Communities is
important to us all and we can not wait to share these
ideas in Term 3.
Head Student Team: Kaylee, Daisy, Emma, Cooper and Hunter.

Building communities:
Ready to Flourish
Pride Month
This last month the Pride Group had organized
activities to teach other learners about the
Rainbow community. The group helped set up
the library for the ‘Out on the Shelves’ promotion,
created slides and quizzes to be completed during
Ako. We also had a month-long poster competition
where the winners received prizes and their
posters will be used around the school next term.
Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day works to create schools,
workplaces, communities and whānau where
everyone feels safe, valued and respected. Earlier
in term learners wore pink to school to raise
money for the mental health foundation. Our
Student Leaders organised various lunch time
activities and concluded the day with gathering
Ako classes together to create a heart shape
which was captured via a drone. The message
behind Pink Shirt Day is important to Rolleston
College; Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
Year 12 Emerging leaders day
Our year 12 Whānau Ambassadors were invited
to the Emerging Leaders Conference hosted at
Christ College this term. The event showcased
different leadership skills and the agency of
effective leadership through a mixture of keynote
speakers, student led sessions and workshops.
The group really enjoyed the day and are looking
forward to implementing the skills they learnt.

RACING
• By Joshua Smith
KING ARTHUR made it backto-back
wins at Addington
Raceway on Sunday when taking
out the First Direct Taxis Mobile
Pace (2600m).
The Auckland Reactor gelding
was victorious over 1980m at
the track last week and trainer
Joseph Gray was confident of
another bold showing.
“I thought he would have been
a $2 favourite in that field,” Gray
said.
From his outside draw on
the frontline, King Arthur was
launched off the gate by driver
Ross Cameron to take an early
lead before handing up to
It’s Me.
King Arthur enjoyed a soft
trip throughout before taking
advantage of the passing lane
and running away to a 1-1/2
length victory over It’s Me, with
a further 2-1/4 lengths back to
Maximilian in third.
“He has got great gate speed,
so we were always going to
press forward and it was just a
matter of whether he was going
to stay in front or hand up to
something,” Gray said.
“Ross has driven him really
well all the way through and he
made the right decision.”
The seven-year-old gelding
has been in impressive form
this preparation, winning two
and placing in three of his seven
starts.
“He has always had plenty of
ability but his form tapered off
(last preparation) because he had
a bad abscess burst out the top of
his foot,” Gray said.
“He had about five months
away from racing but he has
come back a bit stronger and
better this time in.
“He has always been really big.
He qualified as a two-year-old
when Ken Dixon had him. He
has just taken a lot of time, but he
is finally there, which is good.”
Gray was also pleased by the

performance of stablemate Motor
Mouth earlier on the card when
running third in the Fahey Fence
Hire Handicap Pace (2600m).
“Motor Mouth is probably
the best horse I have had and
running third in the Summer
Cup up at Rangiora was a
massive highlight for us,” Gray
said.
“We paid $500 for that horse
and he has won about $15,000
since we have had him.
“The whole team had been
going really well, which has been
great.”

Dexter Dunn steers
world record breaker
• By Dave Di Somma
DEXTER DUNN has been part
of harness racing history in New
Jersey.
The 10-time New Zealand
driving champion has steered
superstar pacer Bulldog Hanover
to a new world record at the
Meadowlands, recording the
fastest mile in the history of the
sport.
‘Bulldog’ won the William
Haughton Memorial over the
weekend by two lengths in 1:45.8.
He ran home in 52.6 (last 800)
and the last 400 in 25.2.
“He’s just an amazing animal,”
said ex-pat Cantabrian Dunn,
“It’s just a pleasure to sit behind
him. I just sit on my bum and
enjoy the ride with him.”
It was the latest of some
sensational performances by
the son of Shadow Play, after
equalling the previous world of
1:46 he shared with Always B
Miki and Lather Up.
Tattoo Artist led the field
to the first quarter in :26 but
already was under pressure from
Rockyroad Hanover, who took
the lead but held it only briefly
as Bulldog Hanover and Dunn
made their move.
Bulldog Hanover grabbed
the top spot in a :53.2 half and
remained in front from there.
He hit three-quarters in 1:20.6
after fending off a challenge by
Whichwaytothebeach, and then
held off Rockyroad Hanover to
establish the record.
“I had a good helmet all the
way around the first turn on a
hot first quarter,” said Dunn.
“Once (Rockyroad Hanover)
crossed over, and the big fella
got clear air he was marching on
after that.”
For the year, Bulldog Hanover
has won seven of eight races and
earned more than half a million
dollars. He’s the third highestearning
horse in North America
this year behind the former Kiwi
bred and raced Funatthebeach
and Beach Glass. Overall he has
21 victories in 29 starts and $1.27
million in purses.
Bulldog highlighted a night for
Dunn where he had three winners.
His other victories came with Bella
Bellini and Slay.
Dunn, the three-time Driver
of the Year in North America,
has 130 wins in 2022, with stakes
earnings approaching $4m.

The big one that
didn’t
get away
• By Susan Sandys
RAKAIA RIVER salmon anglers
are revelling in a season they say
is the best in a decade.
“It’s one out of the box so far,”
Simon McMillan of Leeston
(pictured) said.
He is leading the Southbridge
Hotel salmon fishing competition,
having weighed in a 8.95kg fish on
January 6.
Hotel owner/
operator Harry
Singh said it was
the biggest fish
entered in the
competition since
1997. The smallest
so far this season
was 5.65kg, which
would have been
considered a
good-sized fish in
previous seasons.

Purdon says with Covid travel

he is keen to re-target series like

one of the stable’s two-year-olds,
although which one would
depend on their progress in

Akuta is set to start hoppled
work again next week alongside
fellow group 1 winner Franco
Indie, who could also be
nominated for the New Zealand
Cup but that path is far less likely
for him.
The stable’s two open class big
guns Self Assured and Spankem
are both still in the north at
the back end of a month of pretraining
on the water walkers
in Waikato before they return
home to be aimed at the Cup.
Purdon says no decision on
whether either will head to
Victoria for the Inter Dominion
will be made until after Cup
week.
“There is no point making a
decision on that because they
could come out during Cup week
and their form not warrant it.
“So we will not put too much
thought into that until we have
to and we have two weeks after
the Cup to do that.”

“YOU KNOW way more than
you think you do.”
That’s the message from Dale,
one of the women fronting a campaign
to support more Ōtautahi
Christchurch wahine into the
workforce.
There’s a deep and experienced
pool of talent available in Christchurch,
one that can help many
employers ease the squeeze of the
tight labour market – women.
ChristchurchNZ economists estimate
that approximately 20,000
women in Canterbury
are either underemployed or
underutilised in the workforce.
These are women who would like
to work more hours than they are
or who are unemployed and actively
looking for work. There are
thousands more who are looking
to re-enter the workforce after
time away, and who would like
to upskill in their existing role or
reskill into a new role.
Supporting these women to
make career choices that are right
for them and provide our businesses
with much-needed skills
is the focus of ChristchurchNZ’s
PowerUp campaign.
The campaign centres around
a regionalised information hub at
www.powerupyourcareer.co.nz.
It’s a platform designed to inform,
inspire and connect women to a
meaningful career and arm them
with information and the confidence
to make informed choices
about the steps they need to take
to find employment that is the
right fit for them.
Comprised of expert advice
from career coach Claire French
and a wealth of easy-to-read,
comprehensive information
on regional support agencies,
networks and opportunities,
PowerUp also hosts engaging
videos of real-life stories from
four women sharing their career
journeys and challenges they’ve
overcome.
These women have gone down
different paths and navigated
various hurdles from retraining,
redundancy, a Covid-induced
career change and coming back
from a long parental leave, but
fundamentally all needed the
same guidance and support systems
to get there.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz CONTENT MARKETING 31
PowerUp comes off the back
of the skilled migrant advocacy
paper ChristchurchNZ and the
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber
of Commerce delivered to Government
in April, calling for them
to increase skilled migration visas
to reduce the extreme skilled
labour shortage Christchurch
businesses are facing.
There is a record high number
of jobs currently available in
Christchurch with a 33 per cent
increase in jobs advertised online
between 2021 and 2022 alone.
Manufacturing, tech, primary
industries, construction and
healthcare were all identified as
the skills most in demand. The
shortage in these sectors is due
in part to the effects of border

closures reducing the number of
migrants entering our workforce,
and also strong economic growth.
ChristchurchNZ chief executive
Ali Adams says PowerUp comes
at a critical time for employers
and is already getting
excellent feedback from
industry.
“The campaign was
a direct result of businesses
crying out for more
staff and the enormous
untapped potential of
attracting more women
into the workforce.
Our research has shown that
practical adjustments, such as
flexible working arrangements
or meaningful roles, can be real
drivers for women when choosing
employment,” Adams said.
A pilot series of workshops
focussing on diversity, equity and
inclusion is being developed for
local Christchurch businesses.
This will arm them with tools
they need to recruit, retain
and attract more women
into their workforce.
PowerUp runs
through until the end
of October. The first
event will be careers in
tech, an information
and networking event
where women interested
in learning more about the tech
sector can get valuable insight
into the diverse range of jobs
within the industry and connect
with potential employers.

Trappings of success on Kaitōrete Spit
A trapping project on Kaitōrete Spit is
helping reduce the number of animal pests
across 5000 hectares of biodiversity-rich
land.
Representatives from 14 agencies,
organisations, and rūnanga that established
Pest Free Banks Peninsula (PFBP) recently
spent a day on the spit (the stretch of land
that separates Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere
from the Pacific Ocean) to see the progress
being made on the current focus area.
While Kaitōrete is probably a little-known
area for many Cantabrians, it’s very important
in terms of its insect life. The spit provides
habitat for more than 100 species of moths –
including five that are flightless – plus various
beetles, lizards, birds, and the katipō spider.
A total of 230 traps – a mix of kill traps,
Holden, and live capture traps – have been
distributed across the spit. Hundreds of
hedgehogs, 15 feral cats, 20 weasels, and five
ferrets have been captured since the first of
the traps were laid in March.
Technology is a key part of the project’s
efficiency. When a pest is caught, a node on
top of the trap reports back to a ‘hub’, alerting
field staff. This minimises the amount of time
that staff need to spend checking the traps.
The project is part of a wider aim to
eliminate pests from the entire Peninsula
by 2050. The shorter-term objective is to
better manage key threats, such as possums,
across 28,000 hectares in The Wildside, and
to eliminate mustelids (ferrets, stoats and
weasels), feral cats, and hedgehogs from
Kaitōrete.
David Miller, chair of the PFBP Project
Management Group, was among those who
attended the recent site visit and enjoyed
getting an up-close look at the “interesting
and novel” technology.
“The scale of what we’re attempting is very
impressive – especially given the fact we
have limited resources tied to specific target
species. But we have fantastic field staff
and every reason to be hopeful, given what
they’ve been able to achieve so far.”
Just over $10m has been allocated to the
wider PFBP programme over five years. Half
of that has come from Predator Free 2050 Ltd,
and Environment Canterbury contributes
$600,000 annually.
Other key contributors include
Christchurch City Council, Selwyn District
Council, Department of Conservation, Rod
Donald Banks Peninsula Trust, Summit
Road Society, and the Banks Peninsula
Conservation Trust – which administers
PFBP.
PFBP works closely with Te Rūnanga o
Ngāi Tahu and the five Papatipu Rūnanga
who whakapapa to the Peninsula. They’re on
PFBP’s governance board and are involved
with all operations, including trapping.

Book early for your
garden maintenance
Aaron Bartlett, local owner and
operator of The Outdoor Space,
recommends booking early for
all your landscaping and garden
maintenance needs.
“Now is the time to book us in
for the lawn season from mid to
the end of September whether it be
seed, hydroseed or ready lawn,” says
Aaron. Artificial grass is becoming
more popular, he says, for smaller
areas and looks like the real thing
without the upkeep costs.
Their maintenance team can also
design and install a fully automatic
irrigation system for lawns, gardens
and vegetable gardens and can
be booked either on a weekly,
fortnightly or monthly basis – they
are also happy to provide a one-off
spruce.
Landscaping plans can be drawn
to scale, in colour and The Outdoor
Space team has lots of ideas at a
great price, says Aaron.
“Whatever your dream is we can
build it. We love new challenges and
getting new ideas from clients. You
are guaranteed a top quality result
no matter the size and scale of the
project,” says Aaron.
Their list of how they can help
is huge and includes paving,
pergolas, decks, fences, outdoor
fires, irrigation, lawns, lawn edging,
outdoor kitchens, gardens, water
features, outdoor fires, garden
sheds, raised vegetable gardens,
block, brick or stone walls and
more.
“We can also help you by creating
a plant design and can even take you
out shopping. We then bring the
plants to the garden and lay them
out to give a visual idea of what
the design would look like before
actually planting them,” says Aaron.
Check out their latest projects on
Facebook or at their website www.

If you would like to visit The
Outdoor Space office in Rolleston
to look at photos, their designs
or material samples or to book

Come on baby, light my fire
When it comes to keeping warm in the
Selwyn district, there is nothing quite like
a wood burner, not just for the intense,
bone-warming heat it provides but also for
the relaxing ambiance it offers.
Environment Canterbury tells us that
to burn smoke free, we must use good
firewood. Burning dry, seasoned firewood
helps improve air quality, especially over
the winter months.
Their website suggests having three sizes
of wood on hand – kindling, small logs
and big logs. Use only dry, seasoned wood
and if buying unseasoned wood, buy it
well before you need it as pine requires
a minimum of 12 months to dry out and
hardwoods or those with more sap require
longer. Firewood stacks should be stored
under cover with enough space to allow
air movement.
Wood to be burned should have a
moisture level of 20 per cent or better still
15 per cent. Avoid burning wood with a
moisture content of 25 per cent and over
as this produces more smoke, less heat
and clogs up the flue with creosote, a
flammable fuel for chimney fires. You can
test the moisture content of your wood
with a moisture meter, available from
most handyman stores.
Chimneys should be
checked and cleaned
annually before the
winter season.
Types of wood to burn
Softwoods Plantation pine and Oregon
take 6 to 12 months to dry but burn
quickly. Both are ideal to use as kindling.
Old man pine is from older trees and
contains more resin therefore burns
longer and creates more heat.
Medium-density woods Macrocarpa
takes 3-5 years drying time and tends to
spark when burning. Silver birch takes 1-2
years drying time and is useful for getting
a fire started and up to temperature as it
burns quickly.
Hardwoods Blue gum takes 5-6 years
drying time, while manuka takes 3-5
years. Both burn slowly and have greater
heat content.
Hot mix Some suppliers offer a blend
of softwood and hardwood. Use the
softwood to get the fire started, bringing
the fire up to temperature, then use the
slower burning hardwood to maintain the
heat. A hot mix should preferably have
more hard wood than soft wood.
Buying firewood
Buying split firewood in bulk is usually
the cheapest option and is generally sold
by the cubic metre or cord (equivalent
to 3.6 cubic metres). The average home
would burn 6-12 cubic metres during
a winter season. Firewood is sold as a
‘thrown measure’ (into a container such
as a trailer) and not as a stacked measure
unless stated otherwise.

efficient burning technique, visit https://www.warmercheaper.co.nz.

Beautiful gardens
create appeal
With so many options available,
working out what landscape
components you want in your
outdoor area can be difficult so
it pays to employ an expert like
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design
who has plenty of ideas and a local
knowledge.
“A fresh eye can give you a new
perspective,” says Sharon.
“A beautifully landscaped lawn
and garden also creates that added
curb appeal which can make a
huge difference when it comes to
selling your property.”
Sharon covers all aspects of
landscape design from the initial
site consultation to preparing
design concepts and planting
proposals, making it easy for
the homeowners to implement
themselves if that want to.
She enjoys working
collaboratively with her clients
and transforming initial plans
into reality within budget and
on time. Her many years of
experience also help when it comes
to what planting works well in the
Canterbury climate and local soils.
At this time of year, garden
centres and nurseries are well
stocked with new plants and
shrubs ready for planting in all
areas of the garden and having
your personalised landscape plan
takes away the confusion over
which plants go where.
Having your paving or decking
areas professional designed and
executed will give the landscaping
that professional edge which,
in turn, will add value to the
property.
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design
also has a team of experienced
and professional contractors who
will complete the work to exacting
standards. They work throughout
Canterbury including residential
properties, rural and lifestyle
blocks and new subdivisions,
particularly in the Selwyn area.
Whether your landscape project
is small or large give Sharon
Crofts Landscape Design a call

Strong branding for new
Sportage
KIA’S FRESH image is now
complete, its new stylised logo is
landing here in big numbers.
It’s an unusual move for a car
company to change its branding
and look, but Kia has done it and
already it has become an accepted
part of any new Kia.
What’s more, the new logo
is bold, it stands out on a vehicle
and comes at a time when
updated models are leaving the
Korean factories. One of those is
the striking all-new Sportage, and
it is the subject of this evaluation.
The fifth-generation Sportage
has a totally new shape, and it will
lure buyers with its powerful design,
practicality and ease of use.
The mid-size sport utility vehicle
market is New Zealand’s most
buoyant, and the new Sportage
will look to maintain the ground
it has established here. I can’t
see any reason why that won’t
happen, it is a quality car and one
that is most enjoyable to drive,
especially in test car form where
its 2-litre diesel engine simply
delights with its strength and
economy.
Of course, there are both petrol
and diesel options in the line-up
and, as you would suspect, there
is a choice of front-wheel-drive
only or four-wheel-drive variants.
In total there are eight models in
the range, four petrol and four
diesel, and they list from $39,990
to $59,990, the latter relates to
the X-Line diesel as tested. While
its price tag may be a little out
of reach for the average family
buyer, I can’t help but think how
tempting the entry-level price is.
According to Kia, hybrids and
fully electric Sportage models are
also destined for our market in
due course.
The X-Line diesel simply
borders on the luxury car class,
it is plush inside, with full leather
trim and all the goodies to keep
all travellers happy. High quality
trim plastics and trim materials
are utilised, giving the Sportage a
premium feel.
I particularly like the dial gearshit
selector (only on X-Line)
and the dash panel graphics; well
the wide main screen is actually
split into two display units,
the one directly in front of the
driver incorporates the dial-like
readouts for speedometer and tachometer.
They change to a rear/
side view when the indicator is
activated. It is clever technology
that fifrst came to my notice in a
Hyundai. I’m pleased both companies
have adopted the system,
bearing in mind Hyundai and Kia
are under the same ownership.
That’s not all the two brands
share, of course, the drivelines
and powertrains are universal
through much of both company’s
products and the 2-litre diesel is

KIA SPORTAGE X-LINE: Four diesel and four petrol variants to choose from.
the result of much collaboration,
resulting in a smooth, sophisticated
unit that drives through
an equally refifned eight-speed
automatic transmission.
Kia rates the turbocharged
diesel with 137kW and 416Nm.
They are generous outputs and,
of course, realised low at just
4000rpm and 2000rpm for
torque. The result is a solid,
fluid flow of power that tantalises
with its mid-range boost and
smooth delivery. The latter is
nothing that surprises me, the
previous generation diesels that
have come out of the Kia factories
thrill with their quiet nature and
strength.
They also impress with their
fuel thrit. The Sportage in this
form is rated with a 7.3-litre
per 100km/h combined cycle
average. By my reckoning I’d say
that is quite achievable. The dash
display was constantly reading
at 8.8l/100km/h, that fifgure even
listing during the suburb to the
city commute. On a long highway
run it dropped to 7.6l/100km/h
with an instantaneous reading of
6l/100km cruising the legal limit,
the engine ticking over slowly at
1500rpm.
The Sportage is an adept
highway cruiser, well it’s also
a superb commuter, but it’s on
the open road where you can
really feel its sophistication. It
moves through the air ever so

quietly and picks up very little
underneath, the 19in Nexen tyres
aren’t rowdy on coarse chip seal
and dispensing the kilometres
leaves the occupants comfortable
through a spacious interior
environment.
At almost 4.7m in length the
Sportage isn’t huge, but it feels
like a big car inside thanks to
a well-designed interior that
provides an air of openness. That
also translates into vision for
the driver, not only are there the
mandatory rear view reversing
aids, but vision through the rear
quarter is vast.
It’s that ease of driving that is
felt throughout the whole vehicle,
it feels lithe on the road, which in
translation doesn’t tax the driver.
There is just enough fifrming and
feedback to keep the driver well
in touch as to how it feels on the
road.
The new Sportage incorporates
an electronic damping control
system that optimises balance
and stability. It’s a nice feeling and
one of certain security as acceleration
is requested on corner
exit. That big surge of torque
mid-range has the Sportage fairly
sprinting toward the next bend.
The turbo boost offers substantial
feel from beneath the throttle
pedal, although if you wanted to
moderate the flow of power there
is a choice of driver selectable
drive modes – eco, normal, smart
and sport – each has its own feel
and purpose.
Kia is also pitching the
Sportage as a genuine crosscountry
model, there are several
drive modes the driver can switch
to so that all-terrain surfaces can
be tackled. I’ll be bold enough to
say it would make easy work of
the ski fifeld access road.
When I picked up the evaluation
car I remarked on the
healthy number of cars in stock
at the dealership. I was told there
was good supply for most models,
although some specififcation
variants and some colours would
require a wait.
All of those cars, SUVs and
electric vehicles on display in
the showroom and forecourt
had the new logo, and that leads
me to look at every Kia I see on
the road, I’m now fifxated on the
badge, and I guess that is the
response Kia would want.

GARDENING
Time to get trees into the ground
GOING INTO the middle of
winter, air and soil temperatures
are low, the soil is often very wet,
and frosts are frequent.
July is the main month for
planting new deciduous trees,
shrubs, fruit trees and roses,
and garden centres are now
fully stocked with these plants.
Always select high quality
specimens and plant correctly
with plenty of compost into the
existing soil.
In the vege patch, continue
planting and harvesting broccoli,
brussel sprouts, cabbages,
cauliflower, silverbeet and
spinach. Where soil conditions
allow, you can start preparing the
vege garden for spring planting.
In late July, chop up and dig in
green manure crops like lupins or
mustard.
If you have roses, complete
your annual pruning, especially
on bush or standards that
produce flowers late into early
winter such as Icebergs.
Remove all dead and weak
growth, clean out the centre of
plants and prune to outward
facing buds. Add fresh compost
to the soil around the rose plant,
but do not fertilise until spring
arrives.
In warmer, sheltered areas,
citrus production should be
in full swing, with clementine
mandarins, lemons, limes and
navel oranges all now maturing.
Check your trees while picking
GROWING YOUR own can
save a considerable amount on
food costs and will also give you
a wider choice of vegetables.
Unusual vegetables are often
difficult to buy in shops, but are
easily grown in the home garden.
When to grow veges
Vegetables can be loosely
grouped according to their growing
season.
Cool season vegetables: Grow
best when temperatures are
between 10-20 deg C or even
lower. They include: broad beans,
broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower,
onions, peas, spinach and
CARE NEEDED: Stake your new tree securely to combat wind.
fruit for any overcrowding or
weak branches that should be
removed. Check for any root
stock growth and prune where
required. For colder climates, use
frost cloths to protect frost tender
citrus.
Give fruit trees a second winter
clean up. Spray with a copper
compound or lime sulphur to
kill any overwintering fungal
diseases.
Now’s the time to prune your
blackberries, boysenberries,
loganberries, or raspberries.
Cut out all old canes and any
weak spindly growth. New
season strong canes should then
be tied up on wires or fences to
turnips.
Intermediate season vegetables:
These are best between temperatures
of 15-25 deg C. Include:
beetroot, carrot, parsnip, celery,
leek, lettuce, radish, silver beet.
Warm season vegetables: Are
grown best when temperatures
are above 20 deg C. Include:
Beans, capsicum, eggplant,
potato, sweet corn, sweet potato,
tomato and cucurbits (including
cucumbers, zucchini, and
pumpkins).
Cultivation
Position – Vegetables must
have sun. Try to select a growing

help support this summer’s fruit
crop.
Complete your strawberry
plantings this month. Purchase
new plants or obtain young plants
(runners) from the previous
season strawberry plants. For
the home garden, plant at least
20 strawberry plants to ensure
plenty of fresh strawberries for
the whole family.
Your hydrangeas may be
starting to look a little sad.
They can grow very large and
require heavy pruning
and thinning. Remove old wood
completely as there will be ample
new growth in spring. Make sure
you cut just above a node as it is
area that is sunny for most of the
day, is sheltered, and is close to
water.
Soil – Soil is often the easiest
thing to adjust to your growing
needs. In fact, strictly speaking,
soil is not absolutely necessary.
Vegetables can be grown in
potting mix or in a hydroponic
set up, but the most common
medium is still good garden soil.
Soil must have good drainage
and a good structure. Regular
incorporation of old organic
matter (such as compost) will
keep the soil functioning well.
Nutrients – Vegetables, more
than most other plants, need
from here that spring growth will
appear.
Flowering winter shrubs
like azaleas, camellias and
rhododendrons will provide
lovely colour in your garden.
Take note of what varieties or
species are performing best in
your garden or in neighbouring
gardens for next year’s new
planting.
Winter flowering annuals
will be at their very best in
July. Primulas, violas, pansies,
calendulas and cinerarias should
all be in full bloom.
Continue to dead head from
these plants to encourage
continual flowering.
to be supplied with adequate
nutrients.
Mineral fertilisers are reliable
sources of good quantities of
nutrients. Mixes with a balanced
NPK ratio are suited to a wide
range of crops.
Balanced, all-purpose fertilisers
can be mixed into the soil
before planting. Soluble fertilisers
can be applied in liquid form
to plants during their early stages
of growth.
Additional dressings of
sulphate of potash and
superphosphate may be
necessary, especially for fruiting
and root crops.
Top tips for
planting
•Dig a hole that is
slightly deeper than
the root depth and
which allows for 20cm
clearance around the
roots.
•Mix some compost with
the soil in the base of
the hole, then place the
tree and slow release
fertiliser in the hole so
that the graft is above
soil level.
•Create a small mound
at the base of the hole
and spread the roots
out carefully.
•Before back filling,
position tree stakes.
Partly back fill and
firmly compact.
Continue back filling
and compact once or
twice more.
•Water well.
•Stake securely to
ensure root zone can’t
move on windy days.
Bare rooted trees
bought must not be left
for roots to dry.
Plunge in water prior to
planting to ensure the
roots are moist prior to
planting.
Save on food costs by growing your own veges
Mulching
Mulching over plants’ root systems,
preferably with an organic
mulch, will retain moisture, suppress
weeds, reduce temperature
fluctuations, and prevent soil
crusting.
Watering
Water thoroughly so that the
entire root system of the plant is
moistened. Thorough waterings
are more effective than light
sprinklings. Don’t allow plants
to reach wilting point but,
conversely, don’t flood them as
this washes away nutrients and
may cause drainage problems.
Are you ready to grow?

to get their hands dirty.

From the moment you step through the door the clever
use of light, space and placement of amenities ushers you
forth into a myriad of possibility. Both serene and inviting,
this property’s meticulous configuration and flow of space
will appeal to many. The kitchen is an entertainer’s delight!
Any would-be chef will be pleased with the large 90cm
oven and cooktop, butler’s pantry, and generous granite
bench tops and well-appointed cabinetry. Art and design
enthusiasts will appreciate the interior wall space from
which to hang their collection.
Warmed by an energy efficient air to water underfloor
central heating system with zone controlling, not to
mention a wood burner, you’ll remain warm and toasty in
the winter and cool in the summer. With a games room,
guest wing with its own ensuite, four bedrooms and an
office, every aspect of this executive home has been
methodically conceptualized.
Whilst the interior exudes warmth and luxury, the garden
was clearly designed with entertaining in mind. Spoilt
for choice with triple access points leading out to the
large north facing decks and onto impeccably landscaped
grounds. Multiple fruit trees, raised gardens to grow your
own produce, programmable irrigation, double internal
access garage, woodshed and a fully secure 1200m²
section – gated for privacy.
Homes of this size and calibre are rare to the market so
call today to book a private viewing or pop into our open
home. Instructions are clear, this magnificent property
must be sold on or before auction day.
Auction: Wednesday 27 July 2.00 pm.

Show homes help when
choosing a builder
Show homes are a great way to gather
ideas with the latest trends in design,
home features and building materials on
display.
If not sure what to build, a plethora of
house designs can be discovered on the
websites of building companies while
visiting their respective show homes
allows you to visualise how given designs
could work for you and to gain a feel for
the space in given rooms.
Building company representatives will
work with you, adapting a favoured plan to
meet your family’s needs then guiding you
through the building process.
Most companies cover the gamut of
builds though each is likely to have a
particular focus. Talk to their people so
you understand where the company sits
on the spectrum, from highly specified
architecturally designed houses to more
economic family homes.
Look at the finish and quality of the
show home and ask where you can see
other homes the company has constructed.
Ascertain whether the features and fittings
in the show home are their standard or
a step up on what is offered in the basic
package.
Some building companies have
designers. Others prefer to work with their
own library of plans, adapting a chosen
one rather than starting from scratch.
Enquire as to whether there is a fee for
any concept drawings, changes to existing
plans or new plans, before getting too far
down the track.
If you cannot find
a plan you like, you
might work with an
architectural draftsperson
or architect. When a plan
is finalised, you can then
invite selected building
companies that specialise
in the type of build you
are seeking, to quote.
Once you have
all the information
together – the design,
cost of building, build
timeframe, and progress
and final payment
timeframe – you are
in a position to select
a building company.
Until you sign on the
dotted line, you are not
committed to a given
company and can walk
away though there may be a charge for any
plans drawn up if you do not proceed.
Remember to compare ‘apples with
apples’. Check that what is quoted is the
same in each case. Changes to fixtures,
fittings and other features can make a
difference to the quoted price with the
variances in quotes being due to disparities
in quality and type of product used.
Before committing to a build, organise
finance based on the features you have
chosen. Remember, each and every
variation will affect the price, usually
upwards. Get this sorted before the build
starts. Most building companies will guide
you through the choice and costing phase.
Once the price is set avoid making
changes to ensure the project keeps within
budget. After all, the last thing you want is
stress over money when moving into your
lovely new home.
West Melton 757 Newtons Road

Making the most of
show home viewing
13
[Edition datE] 1
Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for
features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful
for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design.
Before heading out for a day’s
viewing, conduct an internet search.
identify the locations of show home
villages and the types and sizes of the
various building company’s homes on
display, noting down the square metre
size of each home.
if wanting a high end, architectural
design, focus on the larger homes that
have desirable design features. if at the
entry or middle level of the market,
earmark homes that fit this taking in
other show homes for extra ideas.
allow sufficient time when visiting each
show home, asking for a floor plan that
has room sizes before walking through.
Check also the floor to ceiling height
of the rooms and consider how this feels
and whether you prefer a cosier feel with
the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or
more spaciousness created with a higher
stud or exposed ceiling beams.
if doors and windows are taller than
normal, weigh their effect in creating
a more luxurious and spacious feel,
against potential inconvenience for small
children, cleaning and maintenance.
on entering each room, take account of
how much furniture is in each room and
whether there is sufficient space for the
furniture you will have in the room and
the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look
too, at storage capacity throughout the
home and whether this is adequate.
in the living areas, consider whether a
lounge separated from the family living
room or a true open plan kitchen, dining,
living/lounge area is preferable, and
compare internal kitchens with those that
have natural light.
Look too at the layout of
the kitchen: whether to have
an island sink or breakfast
bar where a newspaper can
be read, and children can
sit and draw or complete
homework; the positioning
of appliances; and how
important having a pantry is.
for the little rooms, equate
space and features desired
with that needed, especially
if the budget needs to be
sharp. it might be nice to
have a large walk-in shower
with double shower heads
but is this just fanciful and
will the extra cleaning annoy you long
term. a laundry in the garage is also more
economical though a separate laundry
may be handier.
Bring the garage size into the equation
also. as these vary considerably, assess
the actual measurements of each garage
viewed comparing this with the space
needed for your motor vehicles and other
items to be stored there. if a good number
of toys will be housed there, it may be
sensible to increase the size of this area of
the home.
By imagining what you need, want and
will have in your new home, you will be in
a better position to confidently choose a
design that works for you.
