Money
taken
after big
pokie win
• By Barry Clarke
A BAR patron who won $1200
on the pokies may have been
targeted by thieves moments after
she collected the money.
A group of men who were in
the bar at the same time are the
focus of police inquiries. It is
believed they watched her being
paid, and then quickly swooped.
The incident happened at The
Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln
two weeks ago.
After she was paid out at the
bar, the men who had been
sitting nearby went over and
congratulated her. While she was
distracted the money disappeared
from her handbag. She only
realised it was gone after she left
the hotel.
Police have taken CCTV
security camera footage from the
hotel which shows the men going
over to the woman and mobbing
her in a congratulatory way. The
footage also captures a hand from
one of the men going towards the
bag.
Police say they may have
identified one of the group but
aren’t saying anymore about
the incident. The Selwyn Times
understands the men are from
the Amberley area.

THE picturesque Racecourse
Hill estate is on the market.
Located at 3979 West Coast
Rd, Darfield, the 25.8ha property
includes a nine-bedroom
homestead which was originally
built in 1912.
It is being marketed by Ray
White town and lifestyle agents
Kate Cameron and Brendan

being luxury

or events venue.
“There is so
much about this
property that
will appeal to
buyers, including
the expansive
25.8ha
land parcel
surrounded by mature trees,
beautiful gardens and lush green
lawns,” Cameron said.
“There’s also the large
homestead with nine unique
yet stately bedrooms and five
sleek modern bathrooms. The
homestead also boasts beautiful
family and commercial kitchens,
a formal dining room, sitting
room, and billiard room with
the original rimu and kauri timbers
retained throughout.
“There is a complete range of
outbuildings plus substantial
equestrian facilities with a
dressage arena and stable
complex. The fertile flats are
utilised for cattle grazing and
are supported by a set of cattle
yards.”
The original home, designed
by renowned Christchurch
architect Cecil Wood, was badly
damaged in the 2010 earthquakes,
and has since undergone
a number of renovations.
“The previous owners who
purchased this home after the
earthquakes spent over $3 million
on the restoration of this
beautiful homestead,” Cameron
said.
“Over the years there have
been extra additions such as the
large internal access garage that

was built in keeping with the

“Over $300,000 was spent on
the stunning pond and fountain
which sets the tone when approaching
this idyllic home.
“A chapel was also relocated
here from Colgate which provides
a spectacular location and
immense potential for a magical
and bespoke wedding venue.”
Cameron said the property
would appeal to a broad range
of buyers including extended
families, those downsizing
from large farms, and business
people.
“The property has multiple
options as a grand old homestead
and home for somebody,
but also numerous potential
business opportunities such as
luxury accommodation, wedding
and events venue etcetera,
subject to necessary consents,”
she said.
“Therefore, buyers will see the
home differently depending on
what they believe the potential
the property has and what they
can do.”
The property is being offered
for sale via deadline sale, closing
November 23 (unless sold prior).

Lucky escape after car hits cyclist
• By Natalie Pham
ROBERT Clutterbuck and the

October 23.
It was the first
time Clutterbuck
had experienced an incident like
it over 25 years of riding his bike.
He was not the only cyclist
involved in a crash this year.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency recorded 65 crashes
involving cyclists between
January 1 and August 9, with one
of those being fatal, 15 serious,
42 minor and six resulting in no
injuries.
Clutterbuck was dazed after
landing on the bonnet of the
black Mazda 3 that hit him as it
came round a bend.
“[The driver] did come over
and asked if I was okay. I told
her that I was fine and she pretty
much got in her car and left,”
Clutterbuck said.

The impact of the crash caused

said.
“I didn’t have any bumps,

“As a cyclist, you can just be

and you get people winding

or yelling out the windows.”
Figures from ACC showed
there were 2142 new and 3098
active claims for cycling-related
injuries in Christchurch between
January 1 and July 31.
Police confirmed they had
received a report following the
incident involving Clutterbuck.
However, no charges have been
laid.
At the time of the crash, a
tennis match and a weekly
Sunday church service were
taking place nearby.

CONTAINED: Firefighters remove cladding and roofing material to
extinguish a blaze in a Prebbleton home.
Prebbleton home
damaged by ceiling fire
• By Geoff Sloan
FIRE CREWS were called
to a blaze in the roof
of a suburban home in
Prebbleton last Wednesday.
Four fire appliances were
used to fight the blaze,
which broke out inside the
two-storey house on Guilder
Drive about 10am.
The fire appeared to be
contained to the roof of the
house. It was brought under
control by about 11am.
Firefighters could be seen
removing some of the cladding
on the roof in order to
douse the flames.
A neighbour said no one
was in the house at the time
of the fire. It is not known
what caused the blaze.
Smoke from the fire
could be seen from as far
away as the Christchurch
Southern Motorway.
Police were also at the
scene but had left the house
before the fire was brought
under control.

Entertainers Los Angeles-bound
for world talent showcase
• By Susan Sandys
THE STARRY lights of Los
Angeles are beckoning for three
Selwyn residents, who have been
selected to compete in a world
talent showcase.
Singer Nicole Schaap, 29, and
musical theatre performers
Conrad Goddard, 16, and Bella
Newcombe, 18, will be among
up to 20 New Zealanders at the
annual World Championships
of Performing Arts, to be held at
Disneyland in July next year.
“When I found out, I was
super-stoked,” said Schaap, who
is a drum teacher and musician
at Rolleston.
Auditions are currently underway
around the world for the
championships, where entertainment
professionals will judge,
award industry medals and
scholarships, deliver seminars
and may even sign talent.
Schaap is lead singer and
drummer for Rolleston-based
alternative rock and soul band
Moonflower, where she performs
alongside her husband and bass
player Josh Fairless and guitarist
and singer Hamish Ellis. She said
she would be getting out of her
comfort zone at the championships,
as she would be leaving
her drumkit behind.
“It’s a little bit different for
me, because I’m used to having
my drumkit in front of me,” she
said.
But she was looking forward to
showcasing her ability to deliver
“big belting vocals.” Schaap said
her idols were Aretha Franklin
and Ann Wilson from Heart,
and they were also the two
singers people often told her she
sounded like.
She planned to sing at least
one of her original songs at the
championships, as well as It’s
a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
by James Brown and River by
Bishop Briggs.
She was hoping to come back
with a medal in at least one of
the song categories and make
Drummer and singer Nicole Schaap is one of three Selwyn performers who are travelling to a world championship event
next year in Los Angeles. She will be joined by Conrad Goddard and Bella Newcombe.
music industry contacts. She
plans to take her mum with her
and will be fundraising towards
airfares and accommodation.
Goddard is a year 12 student at
Lincoln High School. Last year
he won the best actor award in
the Canterbury Sheilah Winn
Shakespeare Festival, while he
has played main roles in the junior
musical theatre CentreStage
Rolleston productions of Legally
Blonde and High School Musical.
Last month he came fifth in the
world in the international Chinese
Water Cube Cup singing
competition.
Conrad said he liked both acting
and singing, and was taking
dance classes as well.
As he looked ahead to tertiary
education, he was torn between
pursuing his love of physics and
languages, and his love of acting
and singing. But he would be
drawn to the latter, if he was successful
at the championships in
being awarded a scholarship to
attend an American academy of
performing arts.
“I’m just really happy to be
going, it’s such an amazing opportunity,”
Conrad said.
Bella Newcombe is a student
at Rolleston College. She has
enjoyed performing in musical
theatre productions ever since
she began singing lessons in year
9, having starred in productions
at her school and with Kirwee
Players.
She was especially looking
forward to meeting fellow
performers around the world at
the championships. She would
be travelling with her singing
teacher Jacquie Soper who was
the one who had suggested she
audition in the first place.
“It was surreal (to be selected),”
Newcombe said.
“I was sitting in my car then I
saw the email, I clicked on it and
I just remember crying and running
inside and saying: ‘Mum I
got in’.”
She expected to be out and
about busking in Selwyn as she
fundraised towards an approximate
$8500 goal for expenses
such as airfares and accommodation.
WCOPA New Zealand
spokeswoman Dina Janse
van Rensburg said 39 people
had so far auditioned around
the country, 19 of whom had
qualified. Fourteen of these had
so far confirmed they would
attend. The selection process was
still ongoing.
“We estimate that the team
will consist of between 15 and 20
contestants after auditions are
done. Year after year team New
Zealand bring home numerous
medals and scholarships,” Janse
van Rensburg said.

The 150th anniversary of
the consecration of the
All Saints’ Church will be
celebrated on November
5 and 6. Prebbleton
Heritage secretary Sandra
Serra reports
NEXT MONTH marks the
150th anniversary of the
consecration of the first All
Saints’ Church in Prebbleton.
To help celebrate the milestone
Prebbleton Heritage is providing
a display at the church.
The church has a long history
on the site at the corner of
Springs and Blakes Rds beginning
with the donation, by John
N Tosswill, of the land itself
for the purposes of building a
church and providing a school to
support a township.
The land provided the place
where a chapel/school was built
– a school during the week and a
chapel on Sundays.
The building quickly became
inadequate, and fundraising began
to build the first All Saints’
Church on the site with the
foundation stone being laid in
July 1871 with much pomp and
ceremony.
Building progressed quickly
and a year later services were being
held there. Although the interior
was not entirely finished a
service to consecrate the church
was held on All Saints’ Day,
November 1, 1872, and it is this
occasion which we are marking
150 years later.
The church was later extended
in 1877 to accommodate the
growing congregation. A peal
of, eventually, five bells was installed,
along with a pipe organ.
All was well until the night of
March 21, 1906, when a fire destroyed
the whole of the church
and everything within it.
It included the parish registers,
destroying vital records of the
baptisms, marriages and burials
which had taken place at the

who asked her all about
school and her own cricket
matches.
“It was awesome. I like his
special celebrations when he gets
100 runs or a really good catch.
He gets really excited,” Andee
said.
These special celebrations are
something Andee has adopted for
her own matches and she’s had
plenty to celebrate. Last season,
chapel/school and church prior
to 1906.
Fundraising began immediately,
and together with insurance
money, enabled the rebuild of
the church to commence and
15 months later, the second All
Saints’ Church was opened for
worship on July 11, 1907. The
rebuild included the replacement
of the organ, one which
is recognised by The NZ Organ
Preservation Trust as being of
significance, and in 1913 a new
peal of five bells was installed.
These were said to be the finest
in Canterbury and are still being
rung today.
There is much to tell of the
history of this church, the first
church being designed by Benjamin
Mountfort and the second
by his son Cyril, and our display
gives a more detailed account of
this history.
The public are invited to come
and see for themselves, both the
church interior and the display
on Saturday, November 5, 10am-
3.30pm and on Sunday, November
6, from 1.30-3.30pm.
The churchyard has many
stories of those buried there over
the last 150+ years and there will
be a cemetery tour available to
join at 10.30am and 1.30pm on
Saturday and 1.30pm on Sunday.
The tour will begin at the earliest
headstone in the cemetery,
that of Lucy Kimber who died
in 1869 aged just 23. We then
move on to hear about William
Andee took a hat-trick when
she bowled out three boys in a
row.
“I’ve never bowled out
three boys before so I was
really proud. I did some cartwheels.”
While she has a knack for
bowling, batting is her favourite
role.
“I like batting because I can
smack the ball really hard.”
She had enjoyed watching Phillips
make some big hits during
the game, and was raring to go
for her own season.
Andee said she wanted to encourage
other girls to give cricket
a go.
“I just like playing it because
it’s lots of fun.”

24-hour mental health
charity run will benefit youth
SELWYN’S EMERGENCY services
personnel will be running in connecting
shifts over 24 hours to raise money for
youth mental health.
The Emergency Services Run For
Charity will be held at Rolleston’s Selwyn
Sports Centre from noon on November 5
to noon on November 6.
Police officers, firefighters, personnel
from St John, Civil Defence, the army,
along with some teachers from Clearview
School, will make up a contingent of 45.
Organiser Senior Constable Glenn Dawson
of Rolleston said the goal was to raise
$20,000 for I AM HOPE and the charity’s
Gumboot Friday initiative which provides
free counselling for 15 to 24-year-olds. All
funds raised would stay in Canterbury.
“As emergency services staff, we unfortunately
have front row seats to witness
our mental health and suicide incidents,”
Dawson said.
Youth receiving quicker counselling
could reduce their distress and make them
less likely to need emergency services.
Dawson ran a similar event in February,
where eight emergency services personnel
participated and about $6000 was raised.
Each emergency service group will run
alongside their colleagues, and be on the
track for four one-hour blocks. For example,
police will run 4-5pm and 10-11pm on
the Saturday, and 4-5am and 10-11am on
the Sunday.
The aim was to push out of their comfort
zones, Dawson said.
“For us, it’s just one foot in front of the
other, and we can see the light at the end
of the tunnel. But for the many out there
who are struggling, they can not see that
light, and feel they don’t have a way out.”
Dawson said he would be wearing
gumboots for at least two of his four runs.
He had recently trained, finding he could
cover 8km in one hour in gumboots.
“It actually wasn’t too bad, no blisters,”
he said.
Professional firefighter Karl Kitchen,
who lives at Rolleston and is a senior station
officer in Christchurch, had trained
with him.
Kitchen wore full fire kit and breathing
apparatus, while walking 5km in the hour.
Kitchen said while the breathing apparatus
tank of compressed air generally
lasted a maximum of 33 minutes, he
slowed his breathing right down to stretch
it out to the one hour.
“Running for an hour is not hard for
me, whereas making one BA cylinder last
an hour is adding an extra stress to push
myself a wee bit,” Kitchen said.
The public are invited to attend noon-
3pm Saturday and 9am-noon Sunday.
Entry was free but people could give a
donation.
Dawson said the Saturday could potentially
draw visitors who were wanting to
attend the Selwyn Fireworks Spectacular
in Foster Park that evening. I AM HOPE
representatives would carry out a bucket
collection at the display.
Donations can also be m ade at
givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/emergencyservices-lace-up-their-boots,
where $1290
had already been raised as of last week.

Record bike
details to keep
it from thieves
SELWYN RESIDENTS wanting to
deter potential bike thieves or help
find their bike if it is stolen are being
encouraged to register their bike
with the free 529 Garage service.
Police have teamed up with the
community-powered bike recovery
initiative in a bid to curb bike thefts
and reunite owners with their stolen
property. It follows a costly year for
owners in 2021, with more than $2
million of bikes stolen and an average
of four a day reported missing
in Canterbury.
The 529 Garage service works by
recording a bike’s details, including
serial numbers, photos and identifying
features.
This makes it easy for police to
identify stolen bikes and return
them to their rightful owners.
Once registered, owners can obtain
a unique code on a tamper resistant
shield to stick on their bike,
which acts as a warning to would-be
thieves that the bike is registered.
Potential buyers can also search the
database to check if a secondhand
bike they’re looking at has been
flagged as stolen.
If stolen, bike owners can update
the 529 Garage app, and a notification
is sent to the local 529 Garage
community, advising them to keep
an eye out for the bike.
The 529 Garage app can be downloaded
for free from the App Store
and Google Play. Once registered,
tamper-resistant shields can be
obtained from Christchurch City
Council .

AFTER A nearly three-year
absence, cruise ships are about
to start calling into Lyttelton and
Akaroa harbours again.
The Covid-19 pandemic
brought the cruise industry to a
standstill, but with international
borders now open again, cruise
ships are starting to return.
Tomorrow Lyttelton will
welcome the first of more
than 100 cruise ships that will
visit Christchurch and Banks
Peninsula over the coming
months when the Celebrity
Eclipse docks at the port’s new
cruise ship berth.
The Celebrity Eclipse can carry
up to 2400 passengers.
Lyttelton’s new cruise ship
berth can accommodate cruise
ships of all sizes and will host
85 cruise ship visits over the
2022/23 season. Akaroa will host
15 cruise ships over the season,
with the first ship scheduled to
arrive on November 19.

Returning cruise ships to dock at new berth
SCHEDULED: The peninsula harbours will once again be visited cruise ships, the first is
Canterbury to manage the cruise
ship visits, to ensure cruise ship
passengers get a warm welcome
to the city.
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
“In the years since the
earthquakes most of the cruise
ships visiting Canterbury have
called into Akaroa because
large vessels could not berth
at Lyttelton due to the damage
to the port,’’ said city council
general manager citizens and
community Mary Richardson.
“But now that Lyttelton has a
purpose-built cruise ship berth,
it will be hosting the majority
of cruise ship visits. The town
is well set up to accommodate
these visits and on cruise ship
days there will be dedicated
shuttles running from the cruise
berth to both Lyttelton and
Christchurch.
“Some ships will still call into
Akaroa, but they will be mainly
smaller, luxury liners so that
should ease the pressure on the
township.”
ChristchurchNZ acting
general manager of destination
and attraction Tracey Wilson
said about 170,000 cruise
passengers to the city were
expected over the season.
40,000 global pest weevil species
WEEVILS (Curculionidae) are the
largest family of beetles (Coleoptera)
in the world with over 40,000 species.
In New Zealand weevils are also the
largest beetle family with 1500 native
species and 46 adventive species.
Size can vary greatly with smallest
at 0.7mm and largest at 30mm.
The 9mm specimen I collected off
the path at home was identified as
the black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus
sulcatus).
Adults are very robust dark brown
to black with a matte appearance and
can have yellow-orange random hairy
patches.
The hardened wing covers are
fused together making it incapable of
flying.
The weevil is native to Europe
but is very common pest in North
America.
Over 100 plant species are eaten by
the black vine weevil making it one of
the most economically damaging pest
species of global horticultural crops
over the past five decades.
Some plant species such as cyclamen
are very susceptible and may be
killed by a single larva. However, in
New Zealand, strawberries and blackcurrants
seem to be the only plants
documented as having significant
damage, but white clover, plantain,
dock, rhododendron and maidenhair
fern are some of many known hosts
here.
Females have the ability to reproduce
parthenogenetically (without
mating) which only produces female
offspring. Eggs are >1mm in diameter
and are laid in soil or cracks.
They are pearly white when first laid
but darken over time to black before
hatching.
Larvae have a white crescentshaped
body that is widest about the
thorax. Larvae have reddish brown
heads and no legs. Two known
biocontrol agents for the black
vine weevil in New Zealand are a
nematode and a fungal pathogen.
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in entomology (insects
and other invertebrates). Each week he introduces a new species
found in his backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things around us.

Get Ready to ShakeOut. Our national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi is
about to take place on Thursday 27 October.
At 9.30am, drills will be held in workplaces, schools, marae, and homes across
the country, reminding people to Drop, Cover and Hold in an earthquake. In
coastal areas people will also be taking part in a tsunami hikoi (evacuation) to
practice their ‘Long or Strong Get Gone’ response to an earthquake.
Milestone moments
for town centre
The first Rolleston Fields shops and new roads are opening this week as the latest
milestones are marked in completing the new heart of Rolleston.
Burgerfuel, Lone Star and Majestic Tea will become the first commercial spaces
to open in Rolleston Fields – the commercial area of the Rolleston Town Centre -
opening over the next month. More commercial spaces are on the way early next
year, commercial developer Tennyson 21 has confirmed.
The Council is also opening two new roads this week, Christensen Parade and
Rōhutu Way, along with new car parks to support access to the town centre,
while the Youth Zone is on track to open in December, Council Land Development
Project Manager Phillip Millar says.
“This is a huge step for the town centre, and helping create a hub and a heart
for the community. It’s exciting to see these buildings and roads opening and
the community spaces taking shape. Seeing the way people have embraced and
enjoyed using Te Ara Ātea and the Sensory Space has been fantastic and with
these developments and the Youth Zone we’re really starting to see the vibrant
community heart we’ve been planning and looking forward to for so long.”
Access to the town centre is now available via Christensen Parade off Rolleston
Drive next to the Rolleston Community Centre or from Moore Street at the
Wordsworth Street intersection. There is also a one-way entrance off Tennyson
Street to the new car park south of Te Ara Ātea, with the exit onto Rōhutu Way
and then Christensen Parade.
Work on the next stage of the skateable area in the reserve is under way. This
means some of the temporary skate park has been fenced off for construction
work, with the remaining area open to use until the new skate features
are complete.
The car parks will include six electric car charges, which will be installed by
Meridian Energy next year as part of a partnerhsip with the Council to install more
chargers in public parking spaces across Selwyn.
Biodiversity protection in the Rakaia Gorge
An intensive weed control project in Rakaia Gorge is helping to protect the area’s rare
and precious native plants and trees.
The weed control project is being carried out over four years, and after Selwyn
District Council, Environment Canterbury and landowners undertook an assessment
of the gorge’s ecological values, and the weeds that threaten them.
The Gorge is rich in native biodiversity, with diverse mixed hardwood species, bluff
shrublands, tussock land, grasslands and two large wetlands.
At least 16 threatened and at-risk native plant species have been recorded - including
Canterbury pink broom, and Rōhutu/Myrtle – both nationally critical, along with
others that are regionally uncommon.
According to Council’s Senior Biodiversity Advisor Andrew Spanton, the project
recognises Rakaia Gorge’s special role in maintaining local biodiversity.
“Because of its steep banks and high cliffs Rakaia Gorge has been relatively free of
grazing and fires, making it something of a safe haven for native plants,” he says.
Along with sycamores; cherry, cotoneaster and wilding conifers have been identified
as causing significant issues in the Gorge.
“These species are highly competitive and will usually outcompete our native plants.
In our first year of work we were playing catch up to remove the most obvious and
harmful weeds,” he says. A contractor is now being engaged to start on the second
year of weed control.
“While weed eradication is our top priority, there are also complementary trapping
and planting projects underway,” Spanton says. “The weed control in the Gorge is
a great demonstration of a biodiversity partnership project that includes input and
funding from Gorge landowners, Ministry for Primary Industries, the Trustpower
Rakaia Catchment Environmental Enhancement Fund, Land Information New
Zealand, ECan, Ashburton District Council and Selwyn District Council.”
There are lots of ways to help prepare for an earthquake and/or tsunami,
Selwyn Emergency Management Officer Jason Flewellen says. “These include
visiting getready.govt.nz to refresh your knowledge of what to do, picking up
a Selwyn Are You Ready booklet from a Council office or library, and visiting
selwyn.getsready.net to sign up for our free emergency alerting system for
Selwyn residents,”
he says.
The alerting system
sends texts and
emails to subscribed
households, warning
of events including
tsunami, wildfires,
and severe weather.
While we can’t
predict earthquakes,
scientific research
indicates there is a
75 per cent probability of an Alpine Fault earthquake happening in the next
50 years and it is likely to be a magnitude 8+. A great deal of work is going
into mapping what the likely impacts would be on Canterbury, Jason says.
In the meantime it's important everyone takes steps to prepare to look after
themselves and their families.
Remember to visit selwyn.getsready.net and getready.govt.nz to make sure you
and your family are well prepared for the future.
Community supported to lead change
A workshop designed to build confidence and skills amongst people working
in community development is being held in Selwyn district on 3 November.
‘Activating Community – Led Change’ is being run by Inspiring Communities
in partnership with the Council, and will be held at West Melton Community
and Recreation Centre, from 9.30am until 4pm.
“We believe success in community-led development is enabled by being
creative, engaging multiple voices and perspectives, inspiring hope and
possibility, and through finding ways for individuals to take action,” Kindra
Douglas of Inspiring Communities says.
The entry fee for the workshop is $69 + GST for anyone from a Non
Government Organisation and $195 plus GST for those from government and
private sector agencies. To register visit https://bit.ly/ACLSelwyn.
A light lunch will be provided.
A swell time at the SWELL Expo
Over 600 people attended SWELL Expo last Monday 17 October, filling up all
areas of Lincoln Event Centre between 9am and 2.30pm.
The main Liffey Stadium was packed with over 70 exhibitors. The sound of
an accordion filled the room as Jan Mckay from the Leeston Day Club played
some upbeat tunes. Plenty of community groups showed Selwyn’s older
residents how to sign up, while other stalls gave them information about
healthcare, life planning, volunteering, and travel.
Fun activities in Nicholas
Hall, saw lots of attendees
getting their groove on with
Zumba, giving Scottish
Dancing a go and trying
out indoor bowls with the
Lincoln and Ellesmere
indoor bowling clubs.
Speaker sessions were also
well attended. Speakers
spoke on a range of topics,
including ageing and
disabilities, brain health,
retirement villages and
online safety.
The event received good feedback, with many attendees saying the event was
really helpful, and they loved the blue Swell goodie bags they received, full of
great information packages and brochures.

Council employment initiatives win national award
Programmes organised by the Council with local and national partners to support employment in
Selwyn have earned national attention.
The Council won a Best Practice Commendation for Integrated Planning Award at the Economic
Development New Zealand national awards last week, for its Selwyn Works package of
programmes, designed to build local employment, especially for younger adults.
The Selwyn Works package of initiatives helped over 650 Selwyn residents into work in Selwyn,
or training and making career plans incorporating living and working in Selwyn. It included
Trailblazers, an innovative programme of training, social support and internships with Council, and
the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs Work Exposures providing
work experience at Selwyn businesses.
The award was great recognition for the effort of all those

GARDENING
HOPEFULLY, THE highs and
lows of spring have departed by
now and the weather has become
more settled. But be sure to keep
an eye out for the possibility of
late frosts.
October is a very active month
in the vegetable garden. Before
planting add in copious amounts
of compost to help create an ideal
growing medium for newlyplanted
seeds and seedlings.
Vege plants for the summer
garden can include capsicum,
courgettes, eggplants (aubergine),
peppers, pumpkin, tomatoes and
watermelon.
Maintain a close watch for
slugs and snails that will devour
young seedlings. A light side
dressing with vegetable fertiliser
will help young plants become
well established. Water deeply
when required, to encourage
young plants to develop a deep
root system.
Preparation for your summer
flowering ‘bed’ should begin in
October, including the addition
of compost. Summer flowering
annuals can include alyssum,
asters, cornflowers, californian
poppy, cosmos, lobelia, livingston
daisies, marigolds, nemesia,
petunias, portulacas, phlox,
salvia, sweet pea and zinnia.
Spring blossoms should now
be finished on pip stone fruit
trees; apples, apricots, nectarines,
peaches, pears and plums, with
small fruit starting to form.
Many of these trees have
what can be described as ‘heavy
post-blossom fruit drop’ and
often only 5-10 per cent of their
blossoms will actually become
mature fruit, usually enough for
a ‘heavy crop’. Apply fruit tree
fertiliser at five to six-weekly
intervals.
Shrubs that have flowered

compost to get growth started
RICH: Compost will create an ideal growing medium for
newly-planted seeds and seedlings.
during the winter months, for
example, azaleas and camellias
may require some ‘tidy up’
pruning before new growth
commences. With all shrubs, a
side dressing of general garden
fertiliser will encourage strong
healthy growth.
Mulching with compost
around the shrubs will help
inhibit weed growth and retain
soil moisture, which is very
important as the weather heats
up.
Plant cucumber now
for summer salads
WHEN THE classic summer
salad or sandwich comes to
mind, the cucumber is often one
of the first ingredients.
Subtly sweet, crisp, and
refreshing. If that isn’t enough to
tempt you, they’re also high in
Vitamin C and super hydrating.
If you want to pick yours
straight from the garden this
summer now’s the time to get
planting.
First, grab your cucumber
seedlings. Look for a warm,
sunny and dry spot in your
garden.
Dig in some compost or
leftover potting mix to the soil,
making sure it’s friable or breaks
up in your hand. Then, plant your
seedlings.
The cucumber likes something
to cling on to so, for best results,
either place them near a trellis
or similar frame, or use a simple
stake.
To encourage fruiting, grow
them next to a bee-friendly plant
like lavender. This encourages
pollination and, subsequently,
fruiting.
If pollination continues to be a
problem (flowers fall off but no
fruit develops), touch the pollen
on each plant with a paintbrush,
which will spread the pollen from
one flower to the next. You can
also do the same with an electric
toothbrush minus the toothbrush
head. Magic.
Around 10 to 12 weeks after
planting, you should have a
plentiful bounty of cylindrical
fruit to add a refreshing touch to
your summer fare.

THESE DAYS more and more
Kiwis are growing their own
herbs and vegetables.
And more and more gardeners
are taking a natural and organic
approach to gardening. This
means less chemicals and more
thought about what plants might
be beneficial to grow next to each
other.
This approach of growing
certain plants for the benefit of
other plants is called companion
planting and the idea has been
around for centuries.
And marigolds are probably the
most famous companion plant
around.
This brightly coloured flower
just happens to produce a strong
smell which repels many insects
and their roots also contain a
pesticidal chemical which kills
nematodes (microscopic parasites
living in the soil).
Marigolds are said to deter
aphids from tomatoes and roses,
and nematodes from potatoes and
other root crops.
They’re also said to keep
white cabbage moths away from
brassicas and will deter flies and
mosquitoes.
Plus, they look pretty.
Marigolds are probably most
well-known as an orange flower
but they also come in red, cream,
lemon and apricot colours.
Mass-planted, they will create a
stunning visual effect in
your flower bed or vegetable
garden.
Some gardeners like to grow
marigolds in the corner of their
vege plot or others take it to the

other pests away from the edibles.
next level and create a barrier of
marigolds around their garden –
in particular around plants like
lettuces and those mentioned
above.
Each plant will grow to around
20cm high and should be planted
approximately 15cm apart from
the next.
In around six to eight weeks
your marigolds should start to
flower and you can judge for
yourself their effectiveness as a
companion plant.

Beware of
hidden
dangers
SPRING IS a time when it’s
desirable to be working is the
garden.
However, there are hidden
dangers and one of those is
developing legionnaires’ disease.
Here are some guidelines to
avoid that happening
•Minimise the amount of dust
present when working in the
garden.
• Water gardens and indoor
plants using a gentle spray.
• Read the warning label on
bagged composts or potting mix.
• Wear gloves.
• Wear a mask so that any dust
is filtered out before you can
breathe it in.
• Dampen potting mixes before
use.
• Open bags of soil products
slowly, away from the face.
• Make sure the working area
(for example, the glasshouse or
potting shed) is well ventilated.
• See a doctor if you develop a
flu-like illness that seems to be
worsening.
• Wash hands thoroughly
after gardening or handling soil
products.
These are simple, easy and
natural steps that all gardeners
can take to reduce risk while
continuing to enjoy their garden.

PETS & PAWS
No more chances Greyhounds
SPCA is calling for an end to commercial greyhound
racing in New Zealand. The animal welfare group says
that New Zealand is one of only seven countries left
operating commercial-level greyhound racing. Most
recently the US states of Arkansas, Florida and Iowa all
announced phase-outs of greyhound racing.
Only last year the Government took an
unprecedented step to put the performance of
Greyhound Racing New Zealand ‘on notice’, indicating
that the industry would be measured based on key
performance indicators and a decision would be made
in the coming months. The SPCA is now asking where
are these indicators and what are they measuring?
Independent reports into the welfare of dogs over the
last 10 years have all reported significant issues on and
off the track.
SPCA says to call for an end to an industry is not
a position its organisation takes lightly, and as an

animal welfare organisation accepts some uses of
animals by humans provided their physical, health and
behavioural needs are met.
While SPCA has tried for years to work with the
greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,
the organisation says the industry has been unable to
adequately address its animal welfare problems.
The animal welfare group believes it is clear the
greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare
obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand
society. A recent survey carried out by an independent
research company on behalf of SPCA reports that
74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound
racing in a referendum.

Hon Kieran McAnulty, to show your support to
put an end to the industry in New Zealand,

Skoda expands hybrid range
IN THIS DAY and age of sport
utility vehicles it may come as some
surprise to know that Skoda’s best
selling model is actually a station
wagon.
I’m delighted by that, I’ve long
adored wagons for their practicality
and sedan-like feel.
I’m no stranger to the Octavia
wagon, over the years several have
come my way for evaluation and
I’ve never yet found one I don’t like.
That’s still the case, there is a
new Octavia wagon in the Skoda
fleet and it is a departure from the
normal. Well, that’s not so radical
in today’s age because the Octavia
iV is a hybrid, what’s more it is
a plug-in hybrid and it is part of
a line-up that is creeping more
and more towards the benefits of
electrical propulsion.
Regular readers will recall my
Superb iV evaluation in May, the
Octavia wagon actually has much
the same driveline as that car and
it is better for it, less weight means
greater performance and it has
similar economy and distance to
travel figures.
The Octavia wagon iV has a
1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine
and that is the catalyst of the hybrid
system, it works in conjunction
with an electric motor to provide
drive.
The supercharged and
turbocharged system is rated at
180kW, 110kW coming from the
petrol engine, the rest coming
from electric energy. There’s also
a healthy 400Nm of torque that is
available from just 1550rpm, which
means a substantial amount of low
down impetus.
Drive is channelled through a
direct shift transmission, there
are six gearing points resulting
in quick-changing, fluid shifts.
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
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 Octavia will
drive purely on electricity up to a
distance of 60km. 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.
As with all hybrid systems,
fuel economy is the benefactor,
especially in e-mode. The TSi
engine has come from the wider
Volkswagen group and it has
thrifty fuel use as a manufacturing
priority, and when you add the
benefits of electric power it merely
sips fuel, the driveline is rated with
a spectacular 1.6-litre per 100km
combined cycle average. Those
figures are at best possible usage,
even driving with fuel economy
in mind I couldn’t replicate them,
but I did see the readout sitting
at a combined cycle average
of 4.6l/100km on a couple of
occasions. At 100km/h on the open
SKODA OCTAVIA iV RS: Traditional petrol engine and hybrid driveline.
road the instantaneous readout
sits at 3.4l/100km with the engine
pulling just 2000rpm.
Other figures of relative
importance are a lively 7sec
standstill to 100km/h acceleration
time, and 5.8sec for a highway
overtake (80-120km/h). Mid-range
response is quite rewarding, the
energy created through electrical
energy is certainly beneficial.
I took the evaluation car on
much of my normal high country
run. On the open road it sits quietly
and dispenses the kilometres with
ease. You can feel the hybrid system
changing modes as it determines
what is necessary to promote
drive, but it is not invasive and you
quickly become disconnected to its
operation.
When it comes to handling
SLEEK: The
Skoda Octavia
wagon sits low
at just over 1.4m
but it has much
practicality with
a cavernous load
section.
• Price – Skoda Octavia iV
RS wagon, $72,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4689mm; width, 1994mm;
height, 1473mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1395cc, 180kW,
400Nm, six-speed direct
shift automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7sec
• Fuel usage – 1.6l/100km
those tricky inland bends the
Octavia iV has direct steerage and
precise corner turn-in. Low profile
Bridgestone Turanza tyres (225/45
x 18in) and firmish suspension
settings aid grip immensely and
combine to provide a very sporty
handling balance.
Not only does the Octavia
wagon have optimal spring and
damper rates, the entire suspension
structure is one of engineering
quality. Given that drive is directed
out of the front wheels, Skoda
could well have engineered a single
tube beam torsion axle across the
rear, and the argument for that
would have been to better adapt
for load carrying. However, there’s
a wonderful independent strut
arrangement and it controls rear
wheel movement wonderfully,
bumps and ruts are absorbed
quietly while occupant comfort is
maintained to a high level.
Like most plug-in electric
vehicles the Octavia iV comes
with two charging cables, one for
domestic supply and a type 2 for
quick charging at a designated
charging station. I never used the
latter instead opting to charge from
my garage on a regular basis. After
a week in my care it just became a
matter of routine to plug in after a
journey. I found that an overnight
plug-in was enough to generate
100 per cent battery capacity. The
domestic cable also has decent
length at 6m, easily manageable in
the situation at my home.
The Octavia wagon iV is priced
at $65,990 in standard form
(150kW), the evaluation car was a
high-spec RS version that adds $7k;
however, both easily qualify for the
Government’s clean car rebate, a
discount of $5750 will be refunded
after purchase.
The Octavia wagon came at an
opportune time for me, lengthy
items were needed to continue a
home improvement project I’m
working on and they easily loaded
into the wagon section.
It’s that sort of everyday usage
that wagons offer, and they are
popular amidst a wide crosssection
of buyers who, like me,
relate to their purpose.

MY PRIDE AND JOY
Selwyn Motor Fest
is back!
Rolleston will again be the venue
for the spectacular Selwyn Motor Fest
and Family Fun Day being held on
Sunday, 20th November, from 10 am
to 3 pm, across from Rolleston College,
on Springston Rolleston Road. Based
on previous years’ experience, over 500
vehicles will be displayed, and 4000-5000
people are expected to attend this event.
The proceeds of this event go back to the
Selwyn community supporting local nonprofit
groups and organisations.
Any vehicle is welcome, and there will
be plenty of show cars, bikes, tractors,
trucks and more on display. There will
be judging on different categories, with
trophies and awards presented. To show
your vehicle, you can register online up
to the day prior for $10 (this includes
everyone in the car) or pay $20 at the gate
on the day. Entrance without a vehicle is
Adult $5, Child $2, or Family $10.
Due to the excellent sponsorship for the
children’s area, there will be free rides and
activities, including bouncy castles, mini
jeep rides, games, face painting and lolly
scramble. There will also be mini digger
rides for a gold coin donation, kindly
supplied by MCL contracting.
Committee member Regan Beri says,
“We need to give a good shoutout to our
major sponsors, MCL Contracting and
Accessman, and also Faringdon (Hughes
Construction) and Stadium Finance, who
are sponsoring the kids’ area. Also, a big
thank you to the local sponsors who have
donated or come on board as sponsors.”
For a fantastic, fun day out, no matter
the weather, there will be something
for everyone, with market and vendor
stalls, food and entertainment and
hundreds of vehicles to admire. See
www.selwynmotorfest.kiwi for more
information.
Swap meet attracts
the crowds
The Swap Meet held recently at
McLeans Island attracted over 39,000
punters looking for bargains and a great
day out. Swap Meet and Canterbury
Vintage Car Club treasurer Jim Miles says
the group had a great turnout of visitors
to the event and all 630 sites were sold
out. People could wander over several
hectares of stalls while browsing a wide
range of new and second hand goods
and a chance to get up close and personal
with a mix of classic and vintage cars and
tractors on display. The event is one of the
biggest swap meets in New Zealand.

Motor vehicles galore!
With the chance to see spectacular and edge-of-your-seat racing,
the Wigram Revival is taking place at the Mike Pero Motorsport
Park, 107 Hasketts Rd, Templeton, from Friday, 28th to Sunday, 30th
October.
The Canterbury Car Club runs the Wigram Revival to continue the
tradition of Wigram racing. The meeting features classic and historic
classes and cars, which would have been featured at the Wigram
circuit from 1949 onwards. Mark from Canterbury Car Club says,
“We run it in the spirit of what Wigram was in the day at the Wigram
Airforce Airfield.”
This meeting is generally a classic car event, including Pre65, Mini
7, Historic and Classic Pre 78 Saloons, Vintage Racing Cars and many
others. With an expected 200 competitors, there will be plenty of
racing action, with 29 races held over Saturday afternoon and Sunday.
Racing and the chance to look around will provide a great
atmosphere. Mark says, “The older cars sound cool, look cool, and are
a bit different.” They also handle differently, meaning you could see
cars on three wheels. Spectators can look around the pits, chat with
drivers and get up close to see the vehicles that are racing.
Experience the excitement and spectacle of the Wigram Revival at the
Mike Pero Motorsport Park with spectator entry at the gate (cash/EFTPOS).
For more details, visit https://www.canterburycarclub.co.nz/event/wigram-revival/
Entry on Friday – $10 and Saturday/Sunday – $30 adults
(children under 16 free on Saturday and Sunday).

• Clarify what the minimum housing needs are for Christchurch for the long term
• Update existing housing demand figures in the District Plan to the results of the
2021 Greater Christchurch Housing Capacity Assessment
More information
The NPS-UD requires Tier 1 and 2 local authorities to set housing bottom lines for
the short-medium term (next 10 years) and the long term (10 to 30 years) in their
regional policy statements and district plans.
The housing bottom lines represent the amount of development capacity required
to meet expected housing demand in Greater Christchurch over the next 30
years plus an additional 15 to 20 per cent to allow a margin for competitive land
markets. The housing bottom lines are based on information in the 2021 Greater
Christchurch Housing Capacity Assessment.
The Canterbury Regional Policy Statement (CRPS) has also been amended by
deleting the existing Objective 6.2.1a Targets for Sufficient, Feasible Development
Capacity for Housing and replacing it with Objective 6.2.1a Housing Bottom Lines,
as set out below:

Outdoor
Splendour
Just as any other room in
your home requires planning,
so do outdoor spaces.
We look at a few areas that
bear some careful
consideration to achieve a
functional, stylish and
relaxing backyard retreat
this summer.
Vondom
Outdoor rooms have their own unique
challenges. As well as giving thought to
architectural style, colour palettes, traffic
flow, spatial requirements and comfort,
it’s important to factor in shelter from
the elements and privacy from the nextdoor
neighbours.
Important things to consider if you
are reinventing your outdoor area from
scratch or embarking on a big project
are orientation and layout. Exposure
to sun and protection from the wind,
proximity to the house, pool, and
views, and consideration for the kinds
of activities to accommodate cooking,
dining, entertaining, lounging, and sun
bathing, are also essential elements to
think about.
If you’re contemplating tackling
a large-scale project or even if your
outdoor area could benefit from some
bespoke elements, employ a landscape
architect and an interior designer
(many of whom have experience
designing outdoor areas). Many have
the ability to successfully design and
manufacture custom-made furniture to
suit your specific needs or have access to
discounted products that will save you
money.By bringing in the professionals,
you can rely on their extensive
knowledge and experience to design a
functional and beautiful space you will
love entertaining and relaxing in.
Consider access between indoor
preparation areas to outdoor dining areas
for optimal practicality. Ideally your
outdoor area should be easily accessible
from the house, with food preparation
areas located near your indoor kitchen to
reduce trips back and forth.
If this is not a viable option you
may want to think about designing a
dedicated area outdoors to a combined
cooking and dining area.
Heating is an additional benefit, which
will enable you to enjoy your outdoor
areas in comfort for longer. Investigate
the variety of options on the market that
best suits your requirements and current
set up.
Integrate an awning or sun sails to
patios adjoining the house or a sturdy
multi-directional umbrella for shade
over dining and lounge areas.
Gazebos and pergolas are stand-alone
structures at the bottom of the garden
or beside the pool are a good way to
provide respite from the sun and wind.
Always work together with your
designer or builder to ensure the style of
any stand-alone structure is in keeping
with the architecture of your home for a
cohesive look.
SELLING YOUR HOME?
Potential buyers are
likely to be living in your
neighbourhood, it’s an
area that they already love
and are actively seeking
to stay in. That’s why it
makes sense to advertise
your property in the
Selwyn Property Guide.
We are the only media
that reaches across the
entire Selwyn District.

Versatile in every way
You might be surprised to know that Versatile Homes have
been building homes for 45 years and with that comes a wealth
of experience and trust in the fact that they know what they
are doing. Versatile was launched in 1976 from a small office in
suburban Christchurch and their state-of-the-art manufacturing
plant is still Christchurch-based.
Their Te Whariki show home is aimed at people wishing to
down size and is one of Versatile’s Freedom range designs, Finn,
with a floor area of 196m3 on a 490m2 section.
The basic Finn design is priced from $525,000 whereas the
Southfield Drive home has an additional $20,000 in variations.
These variations include a higher ceiling in the living area and
entry, 2200mm high internal doors which help with air flow, a
built-in booth seat in the living area, a separate laundry with
Tristone benches throughout.
Boasting three bedrooms and, currently, a cosy snug which can
be separated from the living area by an impressive black barn door
which could also have a role as a media room, office or a fourth
bedroom.
All the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and there is plenty of
storage including a huge linen cupboard in the hall way. A separate
toilet makes life easier, and the bathroom features a stunning
freestanding Newtech bath – perfect for a soak in the evening.
The double garage has an insulated door, attic storage with drop
down ladder, complete with carpeted floor.
The Versatile network has 30 outlets across the country New
Zealand and is still proudly New Zealand owned and operated as a
family business.
“We design and build, manufacture and distribute thousands
of buildings each and every year, employing highly-skilled
practitioners around the country,” says sales consultant Gary
Longhurst who, along with Richard Fitzgerald, can offer valuable
advice at every stage of the building process.
The Versatile show home is open from 12pm until 4pm,
Wednesdays to Sundays at 94 Southfield Drive or visit www.
versatilehomes.co.nz to view the full range of homes. The company
is also well-known for their range of top quality garages, sleep-outs,
farm buildings and car ports.
