Concern raised of danger 

posed by stormwater basin 

• By Susan Sandys 

A NEW stormwater basin in one 

of the district’s highly sought 

after subdivisions is contributing 

to flooding rather than fixing it, 

say residents. 

Barton Fields residents are 

also concerned the basin itself, at 

almost 3m deep with no fencing 

or lighting, presents a drowning 

risk to passersby, particularly at 

night. 

In response, the district 

council is reviewing the basin to 

ensure it meets requirements, but 

in terms of flooding, say so far 

it appears to be “performing as 

expected.” 

Barton Fields developer 

spokesperson Colin Pywell, of 

Faulks Investments Ltd, told 

residents on Facebook after a 

flooding event in September 

that it would not happen again 

as a filter cloth had now been 

removed. 

Pywell did not return calls 

from the Selwyn Times by deadline 

on Monday. 

Barton Fields resident Sarah 

O’Brien outlined the concerns of 

herself and fellow residents in a 

letter to the developer’s lawyers 

and the district council last week.

there is too much of it.

a stormwater basin built earlier

well in the big downpours in 

July and September. 

Residents have sent a letter

ROLLESTON Residents 

Association members are 

battling the district council to 

put the word “library” under 

the name of Te Ara Ātea on its 

signage. 

Acting chair Jens Christensen 

said residents had asked the 

association to pursue the matter, 

as they believed just having the 

name Te Ara Ātea on its own 

was confusing to newcomers. 

“They don’t know what the 

building’s for,” Christensen said. 

He said he had had his battles 

with the district council 

over the issue, and it was still 

ongoing. Staff were refusing the 

request. 

Te Ara Ātea is a library and 

multi-use community facility, 

which replaced the former 

Rolleston Library, opening 

December 2 last year. 

Meaning “the unobstructed 

trail to the world and beyond,” 

the name was gifted to the 

community by Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga, which worked in 

partnership with the district 

council on the $22.7 million 

building and landscape. 

In a statement emailed in 

response to the Selwyn Times, 

the district council avoided the 

question of whether it would 

give consideration 

to having the world 

“Library” under the 

words Te Ara Ātea in 

signage. 

Group manager community 

services and 

facilities Denise Kidd 

said there were many 

functions housed in the “treasure

SMALL FIRES BEING LIT 

Multiple small fires have been 

started in Foster and Brookside 

parks over the past three to four 

weeks. Rolleston Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief Cam Kenyon wants 

people to continue being vigilant. 

Kenyon thought it could be children 

or teenagers lighting bushes and 

little fires in the parks. If anyone 

saw anything suspicious such as 

“kids playing with matches or 

lighters” he encouraged them to 

phone 111 immediately. Meanwhile, 

the careless use of fireworks caused 

a small cabbage tree fire in Lincoln 

on Guy Fawkes night. Lincoln 

deputy chief fire officer Ritchie 

Bee said the blaze was taken care 

of “pretty quickly” to make sure 

it did not spread to the residential 

property on Robert St. Police also 

attended the incident as there was a 

party being held.

• From page 1 

They are calling for the developer 

and district council to 

remedy the design and ensure 

its safety, and that they will be 

liable for any associated property 

damage or accidents. 

The dry stormwater storage 

grass basin was installed this 

year for taking runoff from a 

new stage of the subdivision, 

currently under construction. 

In the heavy rain event of 

July, water flooded out onto 

the subdivision streets of 

Carnaveron Drive and Faulks 

Drive, from the conduit that the 

basin drained into, stranding 

some people in their homes. 

Flooding occurred again on 

the two streets in heavy rain in 

September. 

O’Brien, who has lived at 

Barton Fields for three years, 

was frustrated to see stormwater 

being diverted to that area of the 

subdivision and causing flooding. 

“The system is poorly 

designed and not considerate 

of the dangers and problems 

it poses to the neighbouring 

properties, local residents and 

the already overloaded drainage 

systems.” 

While the developer had 

since installed a wider pipe and 

removed the filter cloth, she 

doubted these would resolve 

the issue, claiming the wider 

stormwater system was already 

at capacity. 

In terms of safety concerns, 

O’Brien said the basin was too 

deep and with steep sides. Additionally, 

its edges became soft 

when it was full, making it easy 

to slip and sink into. It not only 

needed redesigning, but also

A 14-YEAR-OLD girl says a man 

tried to abduct her at the Selwyn 

Fireworks Spectacular in Foster 

Park on Saturday night. 

The girl’s father said the man 

approached his daughter as she 

bent down to tie her shoelace. 

“As as she stood up, she felt 

someone tug her arm and initially 

thought it was one of her 

friends,” he said. 

“When she looked up and realised 

it wasn’t one of her friends 

she pulled her arm away and 

he grabbed her arm again and 

started to walk off with her . . . 

forcefully.” 

The girl told her family and 

police the man was walking 

away with her towards the exit 

for around six seconds and she 

went into panic mode, experiencing 

blurriness and echoing. 

In a final yank, she managed 

to pull away from the man and 

screamed as she ran to the business 

tents. 

People at the tents calmed her 

down and then her friends and 

their family members took her 

to report the incident to police 

on site. 

The father said he received a 

phone call from police and was 

told to meet them and his daughter 

at the Rolleston police station

Welcome return for Highland Games 

HORORATA welcomed 10,000 

people to the 11th Highland 

Games on Saturday, one of the 

biggest Scottish gatherings in the 

southern hemisphere. 

Six hundred competitors took 

park in traditional Scottish sports. 

The games hosted the first pipe 

band competition in 18 months, 

with 20 bands travelling from all 

over the South Island to compete. 

They combined to play together 

in the massed bands’ march. 

Athletes from Australia and 

New Zealand battled for the 

Oceania Heavyweight Championship 

over eight disciplines 

including the caber toss and the 

Hororata stones. Australian, Terry 

Sparkes, retained the title he won 

in 2019. 

The games also hosted the New 

Zealand Heavyweight Championship 

won by Ashburton’s Craig 

Manson. The women’s championship 

was hotly contested with 

Australian Lily Riley taking the 

title. 

Red Wiard travelled from Brisbane 

to compete in Hororata for 

the first time and was blown away 

by the event. 

“I am so grateful for this experience. 

It was a massive day. Being 

in the arena with 10,000 people 

cheering me on made me feel 

like a celebrity. I am going home

to enter the arena to see if they 

can toss a caber, play the pipes or 

be victorious in the tug of war. 

Cindy Driscoll from the 

Hororata Community Trust said 

the have a go element is a most 

popular part of the festival. 

“This gives people an intimate 

experience of the Highland 

Games because they don’t just 

watch but are part of it, and then 

some catch the bug and end up 

becoming competitors.” 

In a show of community spirit 

230 volunteers joined the Hororata 

Community Trust to make 

the Hororata Highland Games 

happen. 

“The games is unique in the 

way it celebrates Scottish culture 

with a Kiwi twist but what really 

makes it special is the passion 

people give in to making the 

event happen. 

“Our community is not defined 

by lines on a map. A huge group 

coming together, bringing passion 

and energy for a common cause. 

During 11 years the games really 

has become part of who we are.

Legal Matters 

Disputes Tribunal – 

Whilst your lawyer 

can’t appear, we can 

help you prepare! 

Formerly known as the “Small 

Claims Court” until 1989, the 

Disputes Tribunal is a much 

quicker, less formal, and 

cheaper way to settle disputes. 

The Tribunal is for lower value 

claims up to a maximum of 

$30,000. If the value of your 

claim initially exceeds the 

$30,000 threshold you may 

choose to head to the District 

Court or agree to cap your 

claim to $30,000. This is often a 

strategic decision and one that 

we are well practised in advising 

on. 

Your hearing will be run by a 

referee who will make a decision 

on the dispute. The decision is 

generally delivered on the day 

and is legally binding. This means 

that you must follow the decision 

even if you don’t agree with it. 

There may be limited rights of 

appeal that we can discuss with 

you on a fact specific basis. 

If you are served with Disputes 

Tribunal proceedings we 

encourage you to check: 

1. Preparation timeframes. Do 

you need to collate evidence, 

file a response, have all the 

attachments been provided. 

We can assist with all of these 

things, and more. 

2. Does the Disputes Tribunal 

have jurisdiction to hear the 

dispute? We can assess this for 

you if required. 

3. What is the law that the 

referee will apply to your 

situation? 

4. Is your hearing in person or by 

remote attendance. 

5. You are entitled to a support 

person. However, this person 

cannot speak for you during 

the hearing and cannot be a 

witness. 

Whether you are bringing the 

claim, or defending it, we can 

guide you through the Disputes 

Tribunal Process. We agree 

with the age-old saying “chance 

favours the prepared” and in 

Disputes Tribunal proceedings 

this is often reflected in the 

referee’s decision. 

Whilst we cannot appear at the 

hearing, proper preparation will 

likely provide peace of mind and 

set you in good stead. 

A flower for Angela 


ANGELA EARLY’S smile says it all. 

The 17-year-old, of Greendale, has been 

beaming since being able to see and hold 

a newly bred flower that has been named 

after her. 

The Angela Early peony was bred by 

Christchurch specialist peony propagator 

Paul Simmons. Simmons and wife Esther 

are Angela’s great uncle and aunt. 

Angela has Down’s syndrome; she is also 

autistic and non-verbal. 

While Angela can not put into words 

how she feels about the honour of having 

a flower named after her, she has been able 

to show her joy nonetheless. 

Her mum Christine said when Angela 

took one of the flowers into her school, 

Darfield High School, last week to show 

teachers, she had been “beaming and 

happy to have her photo taken”. 

ENORMOUS 

AND BEAUTIFUL: 

Angela Early, 

of Greendale, 

holds some of 

the specially 

bred peonies 

that have been 

named after her. 

The flowers themselves were slightly 

fragrant, as well as “enormous, beautiful, 

white and fluffy”. 

“They were so heavy she could hardly 

hold them, that’s when I just gave her one 

to hold at first,” Christine said. 

“Angie enjoys being in the garden at 

home where we have a large amount 

of peonies. She loves to give flowers to 

people,” she added. 

Simmons said he had been trying to 

breed a white peony which flowered early 

for the same span of Angela’s life so far – 

17 years. 

“White peonies only start flowering 

about mid season, compared to 

other peonies,” he said. 

And because Angela’s surname was 

Early, and he wanted to honour his 

grand niece, Angela Early had been the 

perfect name.

moving”. 

Trust chairman, Aaron Ford, 

said it was great to have Mc- 

Sweeney part of the team. 

“The skills and experience 

he brings are a great fit for 

the Trust, which will put the

Huge turnout for fireworks event 

THE SELWYN Fireworks 

Spectacular committee was 

amazed at the turnout on 

Saturday night where an 

estimated 14,000 people 

attended. 

Selwyn Fireworks Spectacular 

Charitable Trust president Chris 

O’Brien said the committee and 

volunteers spent tireless hours 

across eight months planning the 

event. 

The charitable trust provides 

a platform for local community 

groups to set up stalls and sell 

products, food and drinks. 

Said O’Brien: “It is great to 

see our non-profit stallholders 

get some critical funding they 

need to survive in times like 

these.’’ 

“Covid has taught us just how 

important the little things are in 

life and watching many people 

from Canterbury and further 

afield come and support the 

staggering event. 

“There have been many 

changes to Foster Park in the past 

24 months, and we have had to 

work hard on strengthening our 

relationships with the council 

and other community groups and 

contractors to ensure the event’s 

success for many more years to 

come,’’ O’Brien said. 

The police and security presence 

this year was significantly 

higher than in previous fireworks 

events to ensure there 

were little to no problems on the 

night. 

Stallholders also benefitted 

well from the event, and there 

was positive feedback about how 

successful the night was for them. 

“It’s important to ensure the 

stall holders do well year after 

year as that encourages them 

to return and allows the committee 

to protect the event from 

becoming a commercially hosted 

event,’’ O’Brien said. 

The committee would like to 

thank the supporting partners 

– Accessman, Pub Charity, the 

district council, Tru Group Ltd, 

Platt Electrical and all of the 

contractors that helped set up 

and help keep spectators safe. 

Said O’Brien: “We would also 

like to thank all our volunteers 

who worked tirelessly to make it 

all look so easy. Volunteers are 

hard to come by with everyone 

being so time-poor. It was great 

to have everyone help deliver a 

fun night. 

“And, of course, our 

amazing community for not 

only attending and allowing 

us to have an event but also 

supporting all the stallholders 

fundraising for their 

organisations. Without you, we 

cannot continue to host this 

event.’’

New chapter as district council sworn in 

THERE WAS a warm welcome 

at the inaugural meeting of 

Selwyn’s new district council as 

the councillors were sworn in to 

serve for the next three years. 

The councillors, as well as 

their family and friends, were 

welcomed at the ceremony at Te 

Ara Ātea on Tuesday evening 

with a mihi whakatau led by 

representatives of Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga. 

Te Taumutu representative 

Rulon Nutira spoke of the history 

of settlement in the district and 

laid down a challenge to the new 

councillors as he congratulated 

them on taking up their role. 

“This is the writing of a 

new chapter for the people of 

Waikirikiri Selwyn and Ngati 

Ruahikihiki. Councillors, we 

deserve the best, we expect 

nothing less. We look forward 

to walking with you through 

the next chapter. You have heard 

the call of the community, 

congratulations on your new 

roles.” 

Mayor Sam Broughton called 

on the district council to be brave 

and encouraged all councillors to 

make decisions centred on love 

and partnership. 

‘I want our council to continue 

to make great decisions for 

Selwyn’s future. The level of 

expectation in our community 

is high and there are numerous 

opportunities to explore. I believe 

our current success has been 

the result of strong partnerships 

with mana whenua, businesses, 

community groups and families, 

and I would like to see this 

continue. 

Seven returning councillors 

and three new councillors were 

sworn in. The meeting also 

included the unanimous election 

of councillor Malcolm Lyall as 

deputy mayor.

Creative Communities brings special Filipino

Traditional Filipino music and Christmas carols will take centre stage at Te Ara Ātea 

on Saturday 26 November, when the Musika Filipinas Aotearoa Choir come

The scheme is delivered in partnership between Creative Communities NZ and

Musical Director Kristian Rubi says the Christchurch-based choir has been rehearsing 

twice a week in preparation for the free concert. 

“We’re really excited about coming to Rolleston. We have a few members who live in 

Selwyn including our president and one of our sopranos. It’s inspired us to give back 

to the community. 

“Selwyn is a fast-growing community and there are many Filipinos here. We love 

reaching out to communities and sharing our culture and music with people,” he says. 

The performance, ‘Ating Musika’ (Our Music) will include songs adapted from Filipino 

to English and Te Reo Māori. It will be split into two acts, with the first featuring 

Filipino songs, and the second act being a tribute to one of the group’s favourite 

traditions – Christmas. 

Kristian says for many Filipinos, Christmas preparations begin in September, with 

celebrations happening until Chinese New Year. 

“I really recommend artists and groups go into the Selwyn community because it 

is thriving, especially in arts, culture and performances,” Kristian says. “It’s great to 

provide entertainment and cultural experiences for the community.” 

The Ating Musika coral concert will run from 3pm on 26 November at Te Ara Ātea, 

with doors open from 12.30-12.55pm. Admission is free. 

To find out more about the Creative Communities Scheme or to apply visit 

selwyn.govt.nz/creativecommunities. 

The accreditation comes at the same time as national recognition of Selwyn’s 

Civil Defence volunteers by Disaster Risk and Resilience expert Professor 

Tom Wilson. At the recent Selwyn 

Emergency Services hui, Professor 

Wilson said that with 290 Civil 

Defence volunteers, the district is 

recognised as a national leader in 

emergency response. 

Selwyn RT Deputy Team Leader 

Belinda Mathers says the team have 

been steadily growing their skills 

since they first got together in 2017. 

They are now able to provide support 

during the full gambit of emergencies from storms and floods to earthquakes 

and mass casualties. “We have been called on a number of times to support 

emergency response, including during flooding events, storms, and after the 

mosque attacks.” 

NZ-RTs are qualified response teams throughout New Zealand who work 

alongside and assist emergency services such as Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand and other responding agencies during emergencies. 

“Training includes everything from traffic management to setting up a Civil 

Defence centre and rescuing people from heights,” Belinda says. “During the 

accreditation assessment, the team were tested on their ability to undertake 

urban search and rescue, make emergency roof repairs, protect communities 

with sandbags, and set up a pump to divert water away from homes.” 

Council Civil Defence Manager Al Lawn says the accreditation is recognition 

of the dedication and expertise of this skilled team of volunteers. 

“We have 30 highly dedicated people in the team, who meet every week to 

train weekly. They range in age from their early 20s to their 60s and have a 

diverse range of skills, from technical expertise to strong interpersonal skills – 

all of which are critical in an emergency.” 

“The common factors amongst them all are that they thrive in physically and 

mentally challenging environments and have a deep commitment to 

serving communities.” 

Further submissions open on new 

housing intensification rules 

A chance for affected parties to have their say on submissions on new housing 

intensification rules, in Rolleston, Lincoln and Prebbleton, is now open. 

The further submission consultation follows the notification of mandatory 

variations to the Proposed Selwyn District Plan and to eight private plan 

changes to the Operative Selwyn District Plan in August earlier this year, 

which allow for more housing and at greater heights in relevant 

residential areas. 

“This is an opportunity for those affected, certain interested parties and the 

Council to respond to an original submission,” says Council Group Manager 

Development and Growth Tim Harris. 

A total of 118 submissions were made on the variation to the Proposed District 

Plan and 26 submissions were made on the variation to the private 

plan changes. 

“Topics attracting most attention included rezoning land from rural to 

residential, and the new medium density residential zone, including the 

permitted density rules allowing for up to three houses, three storeys high 

without requiring a resource consent,” Mr Harris says. 

Further submissions can only be made by someone who has already made a 

submission on the variations, a person with an interest greater than the public 

in general (for example if they own property that someone submitted to have 

rezoned), someone representing a public interest group, or the local 

authority itself. 

To help with queries about the submission process, people can also contact a 

free Friend of a Submitter service, provided by the Ministry for 

the Environment. 

More details on the Friend of Submitter and viewing submissions, or making a 

further submission are available at selwyn.govt.nz/yoursay, and can be viewed 

online at all the Council libraries and service centres 

The further submission period is open until 5pm Friday 18 November.

Four simple tips to stay safe on our roads 

Just four simple tips can make a big difference to keeping our roads safe for everyone. 

Work them into your personal life and make our community a nicer safer place to live. 

Plan Ahead, Stay Alert, Slow Down, Drop Back! 

Plan Ahead 

Know your route; the appropriate lane you need to be in, where you’re going to take a break and 

how you’re going to get home after a couple of drinks. Check the weather, check your vehicle. Take 

the time to plan, to ensure you arrive safely. Plan ahead to spend time with family, friends, or doing 

what you love instead. 

Stay Alert 

Be alert to what’s around you; the environment, road signage, 

other traffic, intersections, and your own intentions. Eliminate 

distractions. Expect the unexpected. Stay alert to your 

environment and surroundings, the impact your actions are 

having on others, and how your friends and family are coping. 

Slow Down 

A small reduction in speed has a significant increase in surviving a crash. Speeding can increase 

your risk of death or serious injury in a crash by over 40 per cent. Those few minutes aren’t worth 

your life. We are all guilty of trying to do too much and never having time to enjoy the good things, 

so why not try and slow down a little in life. 

Drop Back 

Make the effort to increase following distances, give yourself greater reaction time, allow yourself 

to see further down the road. Action will always beat reaction, don’t put pressure on the car in front, 

there may be unexpected consequences. Take a moment to step back and appreciate the truly 

important things around us. 

Four simple points of action put into practice will make our lives less stressful and reduce the 

trauma on the roads in Selwyn.

TIMELY: Former district councillors Jens Christensen and Annette Foster 

are putting together a modern history of Rolleston. 

Modern history of Rolleston soon in print 


TWO FORMER district 

councillors who were integral 

to the development of Rolleston 

are compiling a modern history 

book of the town. 

Jens Christensen and Annette 

Foster have had their memories 

and those of 30 fellow developers 

and residents recorded for the 

book. Now they are wanting help 

with editing and compiling the 

information and photos, so they 

can head to the printers. 

The pair said Rolleston had 

a unique and exciting history, 

with it having become one of 

Canterbury’s fastest growing 

towns after expansion began 

in the 1990s. Today it has a 

population of about 28,000, 

compared to about 1000 in 1990. 

Both Foster and Christensen 

were among developers who 

owned Rolleston farmland. They 

carved this up, and it became 

areas for housing, shops, parks 

and schools, including – in 

Foster’s case – Foster Park and 

Rolleston College. 

They said the 1990s and early 

2000s was a challenging time, 

as developers had to put their 

case to the district council, apply 

for rezoning plan changes, gain 

subdivision consents, and install 

a town sewerage system. 

Foster and her late husband 

David also had to fight an air 

noise contour zone, which 

stymied development of 

their farm and neighbouring 

farmland. 

“It was challenging, the more 

exciting time was later on when 

everything was just happening,” 

Foster said. 

They have undertaken the 

book project through their long 

association with the Rolleston 

Residents Association, of which 

they are life members. 

“It was timely to put 

something together before it’s 

lost, because we have actually 

lost a few people who could’ve 

helped,” Foster said. 

That was since 2016, when 

the 150th jubilee of the town 

was held. The pair had expected 

the district council might pull 

together photos and information 

gathered for that event into a 

THEN AND NOW: Images 

being collated for the 

book show the growth of 

Rolleston between 2006 

(left) and 2020. 

book; however, this had not 

happened. 

Christensen and Foster said 

the interviews with themselves 

and others had been undertaken 

by a contracted author. Now they 

had hit a roadblock as they had 

all this information, but needed 

either professional or volunteer 

help to edit and compile it.

be able to help can get

Leeston-Southbridge scrape 

home after tense final overs 

CELLAR-dwellers Ohoka and 

Oxford-Rangiora both came 

within whiskers of securing their 

first wins of the season, only to 

fall agonisingly short in the latest 

round of country cricket on 

Saturday. 

Sefton and Leeston-Southbridge 

remain at the top of 

the Canterbury Country 

Premier One Day competition 

after round five wins at the 

weekend. 

While the Canterbury Countrymen’s 

representative side was 

winning back the coveted Hawke 

Cup against Hawke’s Bay, the 

club game of the round was being 

played out at Mandeville. 

Home side strugglers 

Ohoka batted first on a flat main 

pitch against visiting Leeston- 

Southbridge, and got home off a 

flying start, with openers Ryan 

Kelly (26 runs off 31 balls) and 

Daniel Lyons (80 off 99) putting 

on 79 runs for the first wicket. 

Curtley Harper (45 off 60) and 

recalled veteran Paul Miller (48 

not out off 44 balls) kept the momentum 

going as Ohoka posted 

a commanding 252/6 in their 

allotted 45 overs. 

But any thoughts of an easy 

first win were soon dispatched 

by a rollicking Brayden Hill who 

fell just one short of what would 

Short scorecard: 

Ohoka 252/6 (D Lyons 80, 

PMiller 48no, C Harper 45, 

R Kelly 26; D Munro 2/35) 

Lost to Leeston-Southbridge 

255/8 (B Hill 99, 

H Mowat 28; B McIntyre 

2/28,G Mauger 2/50, H Williams 

2/51). 

Oxford-Rangiora 176/8 (S 

Fleming 55, D Fulton 31; T 

Holland 4/37, D Neal 2/28) 

Lost to Peninsula-Harbour 

177/9 (A Pant 57no, 

B Aveyard 26, D Neal 21; N 

Cook 4/31, D Smith 2/25,A 

Singh 2/45). 

Cheviot 118 (S Burnett 

49no, T Dickson 22; J Benton 

6/25) 

Lost to Weedons 119/1 (B 

Nightingale 60no, J Richards 

37). 

Darfield 116 (R Hughes 

33, T Boyle 20; B Moore 

4/10, M Campbell 3/4, H

Lost to Sefton 118/3 (L 

Taylor 28no, M Campbell 

24no, C Warner 23; L 

Foulkes 2/21). 

have been a spectacular century. 

Hill was cruelly bowled by 

Hamish Williams for 99 but his 

innings helped set up a nailbiting 

finish. 

A Chris Beatson cameo took 

the game into the final over before 

the combined side knocked 

off the winning runs with three 

balls to spare in an epic grandstand 

finish. 

It was a similar heartbreak for 

Oxford-Rangiora who couldn’t 

quite defend 176/8 against 

Peninsula-Harbour at Southbrook 

Park, in spite of a fine first 

innings half century by Sam 

Fleming. 

At 83/7, Peninsula-Harbour’s 

chase looked wobbly, but a 

match-winning, unbeaten 57 

from Akhil Pant also took the 

game to the final over. 

When Akshay Gulati was run 

out by Calvin Scott off the first 

ball of the 45th over, bringing 

in last man Sam Singh, tensions 

peaked. 

But it was Singh who 

kept his cool and managed a 

boundary to guide Harbour- 

Peninsula to their second win of 

the year. 

In the final two games, Sefton 

and Weedons both secured 

comfortable wins – former Kings 

spinner Jeremy Benton taking a 

six wicket bag – with the top five 

teams separating themselves as 

the season finds its groove.

GARDENING 

AS WE head into summer, the 

weather is heating up and there 

are more daylight hours to spend 

in the garden. Plant summerloving 

crops for a continuous 

supply of veges and keep planting 

vibrant flowers for a bright garden 

over the hotter months. 

Vegetables 

As the days get longer and soil 

temperatures rise, established 

plants and young seedlings grow 

faster, while seed sown now is 

almost certain to germinate. 

French and butter beans can be 

sown in the open. Place the seeds 

singly, about 15cm apart and 5cm 

deep. 

Runner beans for growing up 

trellises or on frames also can be 

sown now in a sunny spot. 

Smaller cucumber varieties 

(Lemon, True Lemon) can be 

sown in rich soil but in cooler 

areas, these and other cucurbits, 

including zucchini (courgettes), 

are better grown from plants 

bought from a garden centre. 

Asparagus can be harvested and 

spears can be taken over the next 

month. If this is the first season 

for your asparagus, resist taking 

any shoots so the root system can 

develop. This self-discipline will 

pay dividends in years to come 

with more, fatter stems to pick. 

When taking spears, snap them 

off as close to the base as possible, 

taking care not to damage 

new buds around them. Give an 

application of general fertiliser, at 

the rate of 100g per sq m, before 

harvesting starts, then liquid 

manure regularly for the rest of 

the growing season. Established 

asparagus beds can produce for 

15 to 20 years, making the initial 

outlay on plants (crowns) or seed 

well worthwhile. 

Sweet corn can still be sown. 


Get your summer supply in the ground 

WARMER WEATHER: Early November’s the time to get 

tomatoes and berries planted in time for summer harvest. 

PHOTOS: GETTY, ODT 

Choose a faster-maturing variety, 

such as Florida Supersweet, and 

sow in groups of six to eight 

plants, 15cm apart in each direction, 

to help fertilisation. The 

plants need shelter from cold 

winds and plenty of compost and 

lime. Corn also needs potash, 

which encourages growth and increases 

disease resistance. Apply 

45g a sq m before planting. 

Peas, lettuce, carrots, spring onions, 

radish and turnips can still 

be sown for succession crops. 

Plant summer-loving crops 

including tomatoes, chillies, courgettes, 

capsicums and sweetcorn 

as the weather warms. 

Regularly plant salad greens 

such as lettuce, mesclun, radish 

and spring onions for summer 

salads. 

Flowers 

This is a busy month in the 

flower garden. 

For better flowers, it is worth 

adding well-rotted compost and a 

light dressing of bone dust to the 

ground where they are to grow. 

Work the goodies into the top 

20cm of soil before planting. 

Love-in-a-mist (Nigella,) 

candytuft, larkspur, Calliopsis, 

sweet sultan, Clarkia and Shirley 

poppies are among annuals that 

resent being transplanted and 

should be sown where they are to 

flower. 

Tulips and narcissi should be 

left as long as possible before 

lifting, cleaning, then replanting 

or storing. Foliage must not be removed 

until it has turned yellow. 

Dahlias may still be planted and 

old clumps of tubers lifted and 

broken up for replanting. Stake 

when planting to avoid damaging 

the roots later. 

Greenfly is a common problem 

on roses. Under the right conditions, 

it will spread rapidly until 

every shoot has a thriving colony 

of aphids sucking the sap. They 

can be sprayed with soap solution, 

which will not harm bees, or 

a commercial product. 

Fruit 

Hardier tomatoes can be 

planted outdoors, but the plants 

will need shelter from winds. 

Tomatoes need rich, well-drained 

soil to which has been added a 

sprinkling of potash and if the 

ground is very acid with a pH of 

less than 5.5 a handful of lime 

to every sq m. Liquid manure 

applied once the first fruits set 

helps ensure a good crop. 

It’s a great time to plant 

more strawberries, raspberries, 

gooseberries, blueberries, 

boysenberries, and blackberries 

for continued harvests over the 

summer season.

Garden 

In the 

with intelligro 

The spring growing season is in full swing, and you 

will be starting to see some results from your hard 

work. As the weather warms up, we need to keep 

on top of watering. Establishing a watering routine 

will help to keep a consistent growing environment 

for your plants and lawn and won’t put them under 

stress. Remove weeds as these compete for space, 

water, and nutrients, and add mulch to not only 

finish off the look, but to assist with the above.

Safety in the Garden 

Keeping yourself safe in the garden is important, especially at this time 

of the year. Legionnaire’s Disease is one of the main risks in the garden, 

so protecting yourself is key. Below are some precautions you can take to 

reduce the risk of contracting Legionnaires: 

• Open bags with a sharp knife – away from the face - in open spaces, not 

in enclosed areas like sheds or greenhouses 

• Remember to use gloves and masks when handling the mix 

• Dampen any dry mix – taking care not to inhale dry, dusty mix 

• Store bags out of direct sunlight 

• Always wash your hands after gardening, and before eating or drinking 

If you develop any flu-like 

symptoms after working in the 

garden head to your doctor 

immediately. Make sure you 

let them know you have been 

gardening and need to get tested 

for Legionnaires.

Ranger benefits from new engine 

I CAN’T HELP but feel a little 

disappointed when one of my 

favourite engines becomes no 

longer available. 

One in particular is the fivecylinder 

diesel that has been fitted 

to Ford’s Ranger and Everest for 

going on 12 years. It was a real 

champion in terms of performance 

and character. 

However, I can relax knowing 

that an engine of similar character 

is now an option on Ranger, it is 

a 3-litre turbocharged V6 diesel, 

and it is lusty, quiet, and has fuel 

economy on its side. 

Well, that’s just one option in 

new Ranger, of course you can also 

have the 2-litre twin-turbocharged 

four-cylinder engine that Ford has 

been introducing slowly over the 

last couple of years. I‘ve driven two 

variants of it in the time since and 

can also report that it is smooth, 

refined and easily capable of 

providing the Ranger buyer with 

the performance befitting a double 

cab utility. 

This evaluation focuses on the 

four-wheel-drive, Sport double cab 

with the new V6. It is a punchy unit 

with Ford claiming power outputs 

of 184kW and a hearty 600Nm of 

torque, the latter available from 

1750rpm to 2250pm, arriving just 

1000rpm lower than the area of 

peak power. 

It’s these figures that make the 

2993cc unit so flexible and willing 

to work low down, yet freeing up 

to breathe willingly at the top end. 

Add in the beauty of a 10-speed 

automatic transmission and you 

have a driveline that is car-like in 

its feel and presentation. 

In fact, the new Ranger has 

become so refined that it feels 

like a car to drive, sure it’s a lot 

bigger than the average sedan, 

and there’s a bit more bulk to 

consider if you are on the hunt 

for an inner-city park, but it is for 

this kind of sophistication that 

people buy double cab utes. There’s 

comfortable space for five adults 

and there’s a wealth of kit and 

technology within the vehicle to 

keep the kids and adults happy and, 

of course, there is a high degree 

of safety with most modern aids 

incorporated into the package. 

In Sport form it comes complete 

with full leather trim, satellite 

navigation, adaptable cruise 

control and electric driver’s seat 

adjustment, just to mention a few 

of the major items, but for your 

$75,490 outlay you do get all the kit 

worthy of the price. What’s more 

you are getting a workhorse, the 

rear deck area is just a bonus really, 

the Ranger is a versatile carryall 

FORD RANGER SPORT: Choice of V6 or four-cylinder diesel power. 

that will also haul up to 3500kg on 

the tow bar. 

It was a case of really good 

timing that the new Ranger was 

placed my care, I had just dropped 

a pesky shrub that was taking up 

more space in the driveway than 

was ever intended. I used the 

Ranger’s deck space to off-load it 

to the green waste depot. It’s these 

types of tasks that make today’s 

pick-up so handy, it is a family car 

but with a multitude of uses. 

Underneath, the Ranger sits on a 

traditional ladder chassis and live 

axle, leaf spring rear suspension, 

the latter now fitted with disc 

brakes. That’s the traditional

five. 

• Price – Ford Ranger Sport 

double cab, $75,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5359mm; width, 1850mm; 

height, 1815mm 

• Configuration – V6, fourwheel-drive,

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.4/100km 

load bearing design, yet it works 

well, the suspension isn’t firmed 

dramatically, instead the ride 

is comfortable and controlled 

with just a small jiggle or two 

transmitted in-cabin over the worst 

of our uneven road surfaces. 

When the need comes to travel 

off-road the Ranger gets an 

electronically controlled transfer 

system, in typical ute fashion there’s 

high and low ratio gearing, easily 

manipulated by a centre console 

dial. I didn’t travel off the seal, 

except for a section of very rough 

ground thanks to ongoing street 

repairs close to where I live. At 

30km/h the Ranger’s suspension 

absorption easily contains the 

bumps, and control within the 

vehicle is confidence-boosting. 

In terms of on-road handling, the 

Ranger steers with well-weighted 

steering, and directional accuracy 

not always found in the traditional 

double-cab ute. 

In terms of fuel usage, Ford 

claims an 8.4-litre per 100km 

combined cycle average. The trip 

computer was constantly listing 

around 10.3l/100km during my 

time with the evaluation vehicle, 

which would make Ford’s claim 

achievable given that at 100km/h 

in top gear the engine is turning 

over at just 1600prm, returning 

an instantaneous figure of around 

7.5l/100km. 

There’s no question the Ranger is 

pricey, but it is on a par with many 

of the other premium models in 

the pick-up sector. However, you 

are buying quality, and with that 

fabulous V6 engine (or bi-turbo) it 

will keep you entertained for years. 

Ford offers a five-year 150,000km 

warranty which tells you the 

company has much faith in its 

product. 

Bear in mind, though, you 

will be bitten at purchase, the 

Government will want around 

$4k off you as part of its clean car 

programme or, as it has become 

commonly known, a ute tax. Still, 

such is the all-round brilliance of 

the Ranger, it is money well spent. 

Ford has done a clever job with 

Ranger, not only has it been kept 

fresh over the years, the driveline 

combinations provide the buyer 

with plenty of choice. It’s the 

quality within the vehicle that 

will help maintain Ford’s position 

with Ranger, it commands the ute 

market here and I can’t see it being 

toppled from that spot any time 

soon.

West Melton 31A Westview Crescent 

Garaging and outdoor space at an affordable price 

Homes such as this are a rare find, so if this offers what you dream of, we recommend quick action. The property was 

completed in January 2016 on an already established 1,370sqm section, creating the perfect, tranquil home haven. 

The 153sqm home and grounds are ideal if you don't require a large home, but still want outside space, amazing 

garaging and excellent off-street parking. The property itself comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, openplan 

living, a media room/home office plus a single internal access garage. If you long for workshop space or extra

home, with the remainder planted with close to 900 walnut trees, producing approximately

local West Melton village on your doorstep and Christchurch city a short drive away, this attractive 

lifestyle property should be a ‘must view’.

Work from home options at Lincoln show home 

There is plenty of flexibility when it comes 

to room configurations in the Generation 

Homes’ show home in Polar Street, Lincoln. 

More specifically if working from home is an 

option or a necessity there is a dedicated study 

with a built in desk looking out to the garden 

and a smaller bedroom leading off from the 

front hallway and entrance. 

A feature of this 215m2 home is the long 

living dining area with the dining table in 

the centre and living areas at either end 

with plenty of sliding doors accessing the 

outdoor deck and garden. Again this could be 

altered to suit the owner depending on their 

individual needs. 

The kitchen is bathed in light with skylights 

above the central island with its large sink and 

breakfast bar. Off the garage is the laundry as 

you enter the home. 

With two other double bedrooms featuring 

in-built storage, the large main has a beautiful 

ensuite bathroom and spacious walk-in robe. 

Generation Homes prides themselves on 

being New Zealand owned and operated, 

starting as a small enterprise in Tauranga 

before branching out throughout the country. 

The company is committed to a fixed price 

guarantee which means that they will not 

change the price of a new home build once 

the contract has been signed on the dotted 

line. 

“We pride ourselves on building a great 

relationship with our clients – it’s all about 

trust and integrity when it comes to working 

together to build a new home for someone,” 

says sales consultant Vivek Srivastava. 

They sales team is also up-to-date with all 

the latest innovations and trends in residential 

construction and have created a Lookbook to 

help inspire new home buyers. 

Inside the Lookbook you will find the 

hottest trends in flooring and storage, colour 

therapy and indoor-outdoor flow along with 

tips for exterior cladding and a range of floor 

plans. It can even be ordered online at their 

website and emailed to you. 

The Generation Homes show home is on 

the corner of Polar Lane and Whitehorn 

Drive and is open from12pm until 4pm 

Wednesdays to Sundays. There is plenty
