Bid to halt chlorination as
residents’ opposition grows
• By Susan Sandys
CHLORINATION of some of
the district’s major water supplies
may cease as opposition to
the disinfection process sways
district councillors.
District councillors will vote
on a motion at their first regular
meeting of the new local body
term today, that temporary
chlorination of water supplies not
previously chlorinated be paused.
Councillor Grant Miller said
the temporarily chlorinated
supplies included the main
centres of Rolleston, Darfield and
Lincoln.
Miller is taking the motion to
today’s meeting, which has been
seconded by councillor Sophie
McInnes.
It comes as residents react
to the taste and smell of their
water since chlorination has
been introduced, and water filter
installers have a boom in trade.
Temporary chlorination
has been introduced as the
disinfection method is rolled
out from September through to
January 2023.
The most recently introduced
of these main centres was
Lincoln, where chlorination
began on Tuesday last week.

Stem cell donor bid to help Mea
• By Nathan Morton
HUNDREDS turned out on
Sunday to have their cheeks
swabbed in the hopes of
becoming a stem cell donor to
save the life of an eight-year-old
with a rare blood condition.
Mea Richards, a West Rolleston
School pupil, was diagnosed
with a aplastic anaemia five
months ago, and her parents put
out a call on social media asking
for stem cell donations.
Mother Nicole Richards said
they swabbed about 220 people
at the venue (Hornby Working
Men’s Club) on Sunday, with
another 50 swabs to be done this
week.
“Thank you just doesn’t seem
enough. What an amazing turnout,”
she said.
“Ray (father) and I are so, so
thankful to you all for turning
up, sharing our posts far and
wide and making this possible
for us in the hope to match Mea!
Please share to your friends or
pass on our thanks.’’
Ray Richards said he was
blown away by the generosity of
his community.
“It’s humbling to see people
coming out of the woodwork –
they don’t even know Mea, so it’s
amazing.”
Mea, the youngest child of the
Richards family, is described as
a “bubbly girl” who was initially

The resulting blood tests

The condition means Mea

breath, is vulnerable to bruising
and will bleed easily.
She’s also prone to infections,
as her white blood cells aren’t
there to combat them.
When the family approached
medical experts about securing a
bone marrow donor for her, they
were initially told there would be
plenty of donors available.
Ray said they were later told
this was a miscommunication.
“That was hard to hear, there
were only three in the world –
one in New Zealand, one in the
US and one in Brazil and all of
them aren’t close enough, which
means she would have lots of
diverse effects [if they were
used].”
The intention behind Sunday
was to find another option.
Attendees were swabbed on the
cheek and samples were sent
back for testing to determine a
potential candidate.
From there, it’s another
medical exam to ensure the
candidate is healthy and ensure
they have the right tissue type.
The candidate will then remain
on the donor list until they’re 60.
Ray said his family’s personal
hope is a donor is found for Mea,
but the act of donations alone
means more people will be on
the donor list to help others out.
After Sunday, it will be a slow
waiting game as blood-matching
takes place behind the scenes.
“What Mea said to me and
my wife in the hospital was:
‘I’m over having this stupid
disease’ and that, coming from
an eight-year-old, is pretty hard.
To have a donor would give her a
cure and allow her to carry on a
normal life.”

Sports space plan draws criticism
• By Jaime Cunningham
SPORTING organisations have
expressed concern over the lack
of consultation by the district
council regarding the required
spaces and facilities needed over
the next decade.
The district council’s Draft
Sport, Active Recreation and
Play Spaces and Places Plan
highlights how many facilities
are in the district currently,
along with how many will be
needed in the next decade for
each sport or activity.
Ellesmere
Rugby Sub
Union chairman
Chris Thornley
said there is a

rugby fields in
the district.
He said if
the council doesn’t include
rugby fields in the planned $18.1
million Rolleston district park
development, the council will
“miss a trick.”
Thornley believes a small-scale
outdoor stadium,” something
around 5000 to 10,000” could
potentially be a solution for the
next decade.
“We’re investigating a home
of rugby for Ellesmere rugby, it’s

our dream to have an oval with
a grandstand and surrounding
fields.”
District council open spaces
and strategy manager Mark
Rykers said a stadium is a possibility
for the district park being
designed in the next year.
“This would recognise the
existing space requirements for
different sports and the likely future
requirements as the district
continues to grow.”
The Selwyn Netball Centre has
had teams play at both indoor
and outdoor venues the past two
years after being given priority to
use the Selwyn Sports Centre.
But netball centre president
Andrea James said there has
been “very little” communication
with the district council over the
future of netball in the district.
After a “lot of hard work”
creating a system for teams to
use the sports centre and Lincoln
Domain courts, the centre has
now been told they may not be
able to use the Selwyn Sports
Centre due to other groups getting
“more equitable access.”
She said
netball has been
the biggest user
of the Selwyn
Sports Centre
since it opened
last year, with
netball using

up to six days

round.
Andrea
James
James said there was a “belief”
by the district council that eight
indoor courts would be enough
for the netball centre to completely
move their competitions
indoor, when they were previously
struggling to fit all Saturday
teams on the 12 outdoor
courts at Lincoln Domain.
Rykers said the plan has
signalled “the need to do some
further planning/investigations”
to enable the district council to
make further investment decisions
in sport and recreation
facilities.
However, James highlighted
the district council needs to address
the identified “communication
gap” between them and
sports clubs.
“It’s very difficult, they hold a
lot of power.”

RESIDENTS ARE now being
asked to provide feedback on
the provision of sporting and
recreational facilities in Selwyn
over the next decade.
The Draft Sport, Active Recreation
and Play Spaces and Places
Plan aims to ensure the district
has “the appropriate” facilities to
support sport and recreation in
the future.
The plan has been developed
through a review of existing
information such as population
analysis, surveys to local clubs,
organisations and educators,
and internal district council
workshops.
Stakeholders have identified
large sports in the region are
struggling with space limitations,
while space is also needed
to accommodate newer sports
that are gaining popularity.
With the projected population
of Selwyn expected to be near
100,000 in 2033, it is anticipated
the demand for sport and recreational
services, clubs and
facilities will also increase. This
is particularly expected in townships,
with almost half of the
district’s population expected to
be in Lincoln and Rolleston in
2033.
The spaces and places plan
was created to “provide a
framework” that identifies what
facilities are required in the next
10 years. The district council has
recognised the importance of
encouraging participation and
wants to “future-proof” the need
for additional facilities.
From 2013 to 2018, the district
was the second-fastest growing
in the country, and with Selwyn’s
largest age group projected to be
15-19 years by 2030, the council
has identified a need to cater
for activities preferred by the
increasing younger population.
Selwyn Netball Centre
president Andrea James believes
around half of the centre’s 2700
members were under the age of
18, while Ellesmere Rugby Sub-
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Union chairman Chris Thornley
said about 60 per cent of rugby
players were at junior level.
The district council has focused
on accommodating sports
with the largest participation
numbers and increases, as they
are most likely require additional
resources in years to come.
An initial survey sent to
more than 290 local clubs,
organisations and educators
identified the expected growth
of individual sports. Sports
such as cricket, gymnastics, and
basketball are expected to have
a membership increase over 11
per cent in the next three years,
with larger sports like netball
and rugby to either stay the same
or increase by less than five per
cent.
District council open
spaces and strategy manager
Mark Rykers said the plan
“acknowledges that there
are some sports struggling
with increasing numbers of
participants and the need to add
additional space and rethink
how the space is used.”
“This consultation is to help
make sure we’re getting it right
on where and what those projects
need to be.”
A list of current planned investments
into sport and recreational
facilities is included in the
plan, along with the anticipated
need for facilities by 2033.
Although there is currently 2.9
standard pools in the district,
which meets the current demand
of 2.5, the benchmarking found
that 43 per cent of Selwyn’s pools
are outdoor, compared to the
Canterbury average of just 19 per
cent. The plan indicated more
indoor pool space will be considered
for the development of a
planned facility in the Malvern
area in 2030/31.
The draft plan also found the
10 indoor courts in the district
were sufficient for the current
population of 73,600, with just

Water filter installation on the rise
• From page 1
Leeston is due to be
chlorinated from Tuesday next
week.
“The risk hasn’t
changed in Lincoln
from last Monday,
when it wasn’t
chlorinated. We
Grant
Miller
have never had boil
water notices in
Lincoln,” Miller
said.
Previous consultation with
Selwyn residents through processes
such as the long term plan
had shown they did not want
chlorination, he said.
While data established in coordination
with consultants had
shown some supplies such as
those fed by rivers were at higher
risk of contamination and more
likely to need chlorine, others
had risks which were deemed
manageable.
The district council was
installing chlorination systems
onto water supply pump stations
as they could be needed in the
case of an emergency such as an
earthquake or weather event.
He said the district council’s
former understanding of new
water regulations was that these
systems must be turned on as
soon as practicable around a
November 15 deadline, as given
by the water authority Taumata
Arowai. However, correspondence
with the water authority
had since revealed it was taking
a more pragmatic approach, and
councils were allowed to assess
risks themselves.
Miller said if fellow district
councillors accepted the motion
of pausing chlorination, it
would then have to be worked
out when and how this would
be undertaken. If an exemption
was not received for any given
supply, chlorination would have
to begin on that supply.
This process was more in line
with what other Canterbury
councils of Christchurch and
Waimakariri were undertaking.
A district council spokesperson
said the water services

team had received 15 complaints
regarding the taste or odour of
the water following chlorination,
and five positive/supportive
comments. The majority of these
were within the first week of
each supply being chlorinated,
which was when it was most noticeable
as chlorine reacted with
and cleared any organic matter
in pipes.
Hamish van der Klei at VDK
Plumbing and Drainage based
at Lincoln said he had installed
about 20 whole-house filters into
residents’ homes throughout the
district in the last two months,
compared to very few prior to
that.
Most customers had been families,
who believed chlorine was
irritating their children’s skin.
Another Lincoln plumber said
he had installed 17 throughout
the district since the beginning
of October, compared to only
one or two a month previously.
Chlorination is deemed
temporary on supplies where
the district council intends to
get an exemption from Taumata
Arowai.
Selwyn has 27 water supplies
and nine are permanently chlorinated.
The district council has
applied for two exemptions of
the remaining 18 supplies so far
(Rakaia Huts and Springston) and
intends to also seek exemptions
for the remaining 16.

Driver who swerved to
kill pukeko ‘cruel, sick’
• By Susan Sandys
ROLLESTON residents are upset
about learning a driver veered
onto the opposite side of the
road to run over a pukeko on the
outskirts of the town.
While the distinctive ganglylegged
natives can be a pest on
farms and are renowned for their
total lack of road sense, residents
say it was “nasty,” “cruel” and
“sick” to run one over, especially
as it was believed to have young
nearby.
Police have weighed in, adding
that incidents of dangerous driving
should be reported.
On Tuesday last week a motorist
reported seeing a car driving
onto the wrong side of the road
to run over the bird.
“Just witnessed this so-called
human go on the wrong side off
Two Chain Rd to hit and kill a
pukeko. We enjoy seeing these
beautiful families down our road
with their babies, very bloody
nasty and cruel,” said the motorist,
posting anonymously on
the Rolleston community group
Facebook page.
The motorist and their
daughter had been in “total
shock” to see the incident,
and drove after the vehicle to
get a photo, posting it alongside
with the number plate blanked
out.
The following day the motorist
reported seeing one adult and
three chicks “luckily” remaining,
while another motorist said she
had seen the surviving adult
and a chick “distraught” at the
side of the road shortly after the
incident.
Police said they were concerned
about incidents of driving
on the opposite side of the road,
“and dangerous driving should
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
be reported to police when it is
witnessed, via 105.”
The police spokesperson added
Animal Welfare Act offences in
which an animal was killed were
not usually in the first instance a
police matter, and were referred
to the appropriate agency.
“In this instance the Department
of Conservation advises
that pukeko are a non-threatened
native New Zealand species
considered to be game animals
under management of the Fish
and Game Council, which can
be hunted at certain times of the
year, with permits,” the spokesperson
said.
“However, DOC condemns
the deliberate injury or killing
of native wildlife in the
circumstances described.”

operations manager Ian Rex (second from right) are joined

St John receives $11,436
from golf tournament
SELWYN ST John personnel

St John area chair Ann

Brokers tournament yet, with
the previous best having raised
about $7000.
Held on October 28 and
attracting 108 golfers, it was the

supported.
Fundraising enables St John
to not only keep ambulances
running, but also increase

“Our community businesses

IT HAS BEEN a case of
third time lucky for Lynette
Chamberlain.
Her passion for colour, eye
for detail, and love of spending
hours each day in her garden has
seen the 72-year-old rewarded
with the supreme award in the
Rolleston Residents Garden
Competition.
“Overwhelmed really, a great
thrill,” was how she described
her feelings on achieving the top
accolade, on the third time she
has entered the biennial competition.
She also won the award for
best garden on a medium-size
section, which she has also won
in the last two competitions.
When Lynette and husband
Gordon moved to their 1180m2
East Maddisons Rd section as
retired dairy farmers and built
their home about 15 years ago,
there were trees, rhododendrons,
camellias, and a front-yard stock
water race, for them to landscape
around.
Plants to go in include roses,
peonies, lupins, irises, hyacinths
and many more, which are
joined each season by large selection
of annuals.
Lynette said her motivating
force was creating colour
schemes, especially when they
could highlight her favourite
colour of pink. That is pink in
any shade, and she is also partial
to lavender shades of purple.
She spends three to four hours
each day in her garden, getting

rigorous Young Horticulturist
Competition.
The Springston florist represented

of Laws and Commerce, and
is assistant manager of Hadstock

what should go where.
“It’s just by looking around
and thinking, and changing the
colour schemes. Also if something
is not growing too good I
will move it. I try and do different
things every year,” Lynette
said.
“I just love being out there, it’s
good therapy.”
Some of that time is spent

mainline system has sprung
for 36 years. She is a sixth-generation

BIKES AND DOGS: Kakaha Park in Prebbleton is opening its first stage this
Saturday with an activity day.
First stage of Kakaha
Park opens Saturday
TAKE YOUR dog and your bike and get
ready to have some fun.
Kakaha Park, in Prebbleton, is opening
its first stage with an activity day this
Saturday.
From 10am, people are invited to hop on
their bike and try out the new snake run
and be among the first to enjoy the new
trails around the park.
Then from midday dog owners are
invited to bring down their fluffy friends
to enjoy the district’s latest dog exercise
area.
Throughout the day there will be music,
lawn games and tours of the park by the
district council team, talking through key
features and the future development of the
park.
The main car park will not be open at
this time, so biking or walking to the park
is encouraged. Follow the rail trail along
Birchs Rd. Access to the park is from
TRADITIONAL Filipino music
and Christmas carols will take
centre stage at Te Ara Ātea on
Saturday, when the Musika
Filipinas Aotearoa Choir comes
to Rolleston.
This is the first time the group
will perform in Selwyn, thanks
to the support of the district
Leadleys Rd at the Birchs Rd end.
Along with bike trails, sports grounds
and the new dog park, the first stage of
the park will include a mini playground.
The further stages will see a changing
room and car parking opening next year,
followed by more off-road bike trails,
a water way and large areas of native
planting over the next five years.
The name Kakaha Park has been gifted
by Te Taumutu Rūnanga and Te Ngāi
Tūāhuriri Rūnanga for the 22-hectare
park. Kakaha is the Māori word for Astelia
fragransor bush lily – a native flax-like
plant often used for weaving.
There is evidence of kakaha on Kā Pākihi
Whakatekateka o Waitaha, the Canterbury
Plains before European settlement, while
the name also reflects the park’s location in
the network of mahika kai (food gathering)
sites on the plains. All planting in the park
will be natives.

THE DISTRICT council’s animal control
team has dealt with 1234 complaints
about dogs and issued 1094 infringement
notices in the last year.
Most complaints were for wandering
dogs, while other complaints included
for barking, attacking, rushing and being
aggressive.
Most infringement notices – 1050 –
were for failure to register a dog, while
the remainder were for failure to keep a
dog controlled or confined (24), failure to
comply with any authorised bylaw (15),
failure to comply with menacing classification
(4), and failure to comply with
barking dog abatement notice (1).
The information and statistics are in an
animal control team report to go before
district councillors in their fortnightly
meeting today.
There were 16,441 registered dogs in
the district for the period, covering the 12
months to June 30, 2022.
Fourteen dogs were classified as dangerous
throughout the year, and 88 as
menacing.
Sixty dogs were impounded in the district
council-owned facility. Fifty-two of
these were returned to their owners, five
were rehomed, and three were destroyed.
“The number of dogs impounded is low
when compared to the number of dogs
microchipped, which was 13,524 by the
end of the reporting period,” the team
said in the report.
“One hundred per cent registration of

Spring deals benefit local homeowners
Locals serving locals has certainly worked for
STIHL SHOP Rolleston in the short six months they
have been opened.
Local Sales manager Kent Sole said the spring
rush had definitely hit as a result of the really good
pricing of STIHL’s extensive outdoor power tool
range and backed up by good local service.
“The response from the local community has been
fantastic and we are thankful for their support.
We have “GST Off” a wide range of products
through to early December and today we are
launching our Black Friday discount deals so if you
are doing jobs around the home now is definitely
the time to buy.”
Kent said lightweight battery tools were proving to
be really popular and the demand for lawnmowers
was really strong.
“What has surprised customers the most is our
range of both battery and petrol push mowers
- starting from just $459 right through to our
specialist range of Ride-on and Robotic mowers.
All our mowers are professionally assembled, and
we test everything before they leave the store
so they are ready to go straight away. We even
provide a full tank of fuel” he laughed.
“Being open seven days here on Hoskyns Road
has made it easier for people to shop with us so we
are looking forward to a big summer” he added.

‘I’ve had a life on P’: From the police
The Rolleston Residents
Association has caused
a stir in recent weeks
over its push to have
the word “library”
included in Te Ara Ātea’s
name. Today we profile
residents’ association
vice chair Jens
Christensen, who has
had a fascinating life –
helping rescue Wahine
survivors, building up
a successful poultry
processing plant, and
getting assaulted while
working as a debt
collector. The 73-yearold
great grandad
spoke to Susan Sandys
Tell me a bit about your
background.
I grew up in Christchurch, left
Christchurch Boys’ High School
and joined the police at 17-anda-half.
I think a lot of little kids
from young ages wanted to join
the police, follow that young
boys’ dream. I left the police,
and my wife Karen and I went
into the poultry industry when
I was 23. Our first poultry farm
was at Woolston, we had a small
egg farm and a small processing
room. It was pretty hairy going
for a while. After tea we would
sit down on the couch with the
invoice books and the accounts,
and they didn’t balance. So we
had to work our way out of it.
We were there for nine years,
we built it up from a husband
and wife team to two full-time
staff.
What made you leave the
police and go into the poultry
industry?
Greed, money! I’ve always had
an ability to turn something
into money. And as well, in the
police in those days, we had an
ability to work under the radar in
secondary employment. At that
stage, I had been working with
a painter paper hanger. He was
also a poultry farmer. In those
days, all round the perimeter
of Christchurch were little egg

farms. We were working on an
old lady’s roof up in Hackthorne
Rd, on a stinking hot day. We
were both tuckered out with
working two jobs, he said to me
“I know where there is a good
place that will suit you, the
guy’s closing it down”. It was the
poultry farm at Woolston.
What brought you to Selwyn?
We couldn’t build the
Woolston site any bigger, and
a poultry processing plant at
Burnham came on the market
in receivership. So we angled
for that and bought it, 20 acres.
We lived there, there was only
one house on the farm. (The
population of Rolleston) would
have been about 900 people. The
first day we opened we had nine
staff. We automated it and built it
up to 35 staff.
The business was a success?
We were the second biggest
in the South Island after Tegel,
we slaughtered about a million
chickens a year. We didn’t only
do chickens, we did anything
that had feathers on it. That was
our advertising logo – if it has
feathers on it, we’ve got it, in
every shape and form. It was
an edge we had, you couldn’t go
and buy boneless duck or geese
or pheasants or quail or pigeons
from Tegel. We were one of the
only poultry farms with a
boat on its plant list, because
my son and I would go out
under the Lyttelton wharves
at high tide and snatch all the
pigeons roosting under the
wharves.
Pigeons?
We had so much demand for

pigeons, we were even buying
them off the racing guys. All the
tourist hotels were buying them
for their menus, we couldn’t catch
enough. Visiting French politician
Pierre Giscardt was dining on our
pigeon at Noahs. My son would
come up at the front of the boat
with a square net, as I went in with
my hand to catch them. We would
get 80 or 100 a night. They are
blind in the dark.
How did you go from poultry
farming to developing land in
Rolleston?
When I sold the poultry
business, after we had been
there about 14 years, I decided
two things – I never wanted
to employ staff again, nor deal
directly with the public because
we had 600-odd customers.
We rented a house for a year at
Springston to decide what we
were going to do. I decided l
and development might be
our next forte. It ended up in
Rolleston.

to poultry, property and politics
How did that go?
We bought our first 30 acres at
Rolleston off the Crown (in the
1990s). From the original Norm
Kirk land, the Government
had decided to release all this
land they had had for 20-odd
years. Then the neighbour put
the adjoining 250 acres on the
market, so we bought that as well.
The new (rural to residential)
zone changes were starting
to come in, so we decided to
hang onto the lot. Then we had
a pretty major development
on our hands. We lived on the
development. That original 30
acres is now Brookside Park,
we sold that to the council. The
major plan change that rezoned
a lot of Rolleston, 38 landowners
were involved. The first stage of
Rolleston was 4400 people, this
was the next plan change for the
next stage (including the area of
today’s town centre). It was huge.
So that met a previous goal
you mentioned, of making
money?
Yeah, I wished I had been
a land developer instead of a
poultry farmer! It was profitable,
but it came with some big stress
and big loans as well. When
getting the land rezoned, the
overdraft was climbing and there
was no income coming in, so I
thought I should go and earn the
grocery bill. I answered an ad in
the paper for a debt collector and
private investigator, contracting
to a private investigation
company. I did that for three
years. I was actually on the
council at the same time. It
was the sort of job I could work
around every other commitment
I had, and I could go out after tea
and knock on people’s doors.
Were people nice to you when
you were collecting their debts?
Well, I sort of saw myself as a
bit of a social worker in a lot of
ways, helping people through
issues that caused the reason
I was knocking on their door.
You’ve got to know how to treat
people and understand how they
got into that situation.
Did you ever encounter
violence from the clients?
Once! I got chased up the road
and knocked to the ground. It
was just a fat, drunk male. I was
serving some documents on him.
I thought I was nearly beaten at
one stage. He ended up sitting
on my chest. I thought that’s
not too good, but I won. It was a
good wrestle, I got away (with no
injuries). In the police too, as an
aside, I worked on the Wahine
recovery.
What was working on the
Wahine recovery like?
Never thought about it at
the time. I was about 18, in the
police training school, which
was based at Trentham military

camp in Upper Hutt. I had the
police van out, I could hear the
Wahine’s sinking unfolding on
the police radio. First thing I
think I heard was “People are
starting to abandon ship, they
are jumping into the water”. I got
on the two-way radio and said to
the police central station, because
phone lines were out to the Hutt
Valley, “I will get this van back
to Trentham and muster some
manpower to get to Eastbourne

there was quite a few of the
passengers had got to the beach
head. A mate and I, we picked
up a stretcher and we started
carrying sick ones. And then at
the end of the day we helped with
picking up the dead ones.
What was your most vivid
memory from the rescue?
Two vivid memories. The first
one was probably seeing the first
dead people I had ever seen in
my life. There was three of them
stacked together, and they looked
that much alive I actually said
to them “How are you?” The
other was seeing all these bodies
stacked up on the back of the
army Bedford truck, just like
logs of wood. When we got back
to Trentham about 9.30pm, the
cook had stayed behind to feed
us. It was mashed potato and
mince, and both of them flowed
onto the plate. I looked at this
pile of slop and thought about
where I had been all day, and
wasn’t hungry. I went to bed with
no food.
You have had a varied career.
I say to people “I have had a
life on P”. From a policeman, to
working with a painter paper
hanger and poultry farmer, I
became a poultry farmer, then a
property developer, when I had to
get a job as a private investigator,
and during that time I became a
politician, on the Selwyn council.
So everything I have sort of done
in life starts with “P”.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
‘You can’t take Rolleston out of the person’
• From page 17
You recently had a street
named after you at Rolleston,
called Christensen Parade, that
must be flattering?
Yes it is. That was an initiative
of the Rolleston Residents
Association when the council
called for a name for that new road
through the reserve. It was to be
Christensen Way, but I believe
around the council table someone
said “He’s not getting his own way,
it’s going to be a parade”. It doesn’t
worry me!
What terms did you serve as a
district councillor?
From 1998 to 2007, three terms.
Some of my portfolios on the
district council were employment
and economic development,
youth and youth employment,
things like that, which was a lot
more fun than sewer and water
and roads. I chaired Izone for
12 years. Izone was successful
because we set it up as a board of
directors, separate from council,
so it wasn’t pushed and pulled
every three years by a different
bunch of councillors. That
development actually returned
a profit of $40 million to the
people of Selwyn. We built a few
buildings out of that.
What came after Rolleston?
Myself and Karen bought
another development in Lincoln
with 150 sections in it. That had

two houses, so we moved to one
of those. From Lincoln we moved
to Redwood in Christchurch. I
was still on the council when we
moved to Redwood. That house
was earthquake damaged. We
bought a house back in Rolleston,
we knew the earthquake repairs
would be some time. Four years
ago we moved to Sumner, we
love it there. We have six
grandkids and one great
grandchild. We had three
children, two families are in
Australia and one’s in Lincoln.
Even though you haven’t lived
in the district for four years,
you are still vice chair of the
Rolleston Residents Association.
Why is that?
You can take the person out
of Rolleston, but you can’t take
Rolleston out of the person.
It’s knowledge I don’t want to
give up. It is still very much my
community of interest, I have
the knowledge, I think I should
continue to offer it.

TE ARA ĀTEA DEBATE
‘It’s a shame racial politics have intruded’
The Rolleston Residents
Association’s battle to
have the word “library”
included in the title of
Te Ara Ātea has seen
the Selwyn Times
flooded with reader
responses since an
article on the issue two
weeks ago. Today many
readers come out in
support of keeping the
name as it is
TE ARA Ātea for the town of the
future?
Well, with all this controversy
in the Selwyn Times I will be
surprised if anyone doesn’t know
where and what Te Ara Ātea in
Rolleston is now.
Those new to Rolleston in
the future will only have to ask
one person rather than five to
know where the library is. If you
use the search engine on the
Selwyn district site to search for
library you will find it under that
heading alongside Darfield and
Lincoln libraries, but perhaps the
word Rolleston beside it might
help newcomers.
I am of the opinion that Te Ara
Ātea could be called Te Ara Ātea
library and cultural centre. But
should we think beyond that?
Rolleston, called a “town of the
future” back in the 1970s, should
be a hot spot of progress.
Comments about the Māori
name for the library in the latest
Selwyn Times as “silly”, “ridiculous”
and “an insult to have a
Māori name on our new library”
leave me bewildered.
I googled how many spoke te
reo Māori and it’s not one per
cent of the population, like a
couple of the comments suggest.
It’s more. Colonialism eroded the
language and thus the culture
and there has been a revival of
the language for some time now.
Perhaps locals are upset about
having to be educated about
te reo Māori? Te Papa in Wellington
is also called Museum of
New Zealand, but if you just say
“I’m going to Te Papa” most people
know where you’re going. If
people are asking the question in
Rolleston “Where is the library?”
it’s an education for them where
is it and what it is called. I had
to educate myself by going in
one day as I wanted to get the
facts correct. A journalist called
Te Ara Ātea that name, plus
the word “cultural centre”, in
an early article. When I asked a
librarian, I was told that that was
not correct. It’s Te Ara Ātea. Not
cultural centre and not library.
I’ve stated the name to many
people proudly and some know
and some don’t or ask “Is that
the new library?” When Te Ara
Ātea opened, they had tours and
many went on them. I didn’t attend
any but staff are more than
willing to explain the name and
what it’s about and so on. When
the water feature was installed,
I asked questions about that too
and they were more than willing
to advise, although I had to make
my own written notes.
Most buildings in Rolleston
and elsewhere are called by english
names. Isn’t it fantastic that
there is finally one with a Māori
name for the 1658 Rolleston
Māori (2018 census) plus the rest
of the population in Rolleston?
Should we not be proud to have a
youthful, progressive council for
this “town of the future” trying
to revive te reo Māori?
–Ruha Goodwill, Rolleston
(Ngai Tahu)
I’m am absolutely appalled
by the community’s response
to the labelling of Te Ara Ātea.
A lot came off ignorant, racist,
aggressive and outright rude.
I try think as New Zealand as
a progressive country but time
and time again I’m reminded a
lot still have these racial views
towards Māori. If bystanders are
unsure what the space is, go in
and ask and learn but it seems
easier to complain then to do
so. Learn te reo, appreciate the
language, the people and the
culture.
–Samantha Jones
The staff and facilities at the
facility called Te Ara Ātea are
outstanding and a credit to the
people who conceived and created
this asset to the community.
It is a shame that racial politics
have intruded into what is something
for everyone to enjoy.
I can not think of any reason
why there should not be an
English subtitle to indicate the
purpose of the library – community
centre.
I have been impressed with the
efforts of the council so far, so I
assume they must have a good
reason for this policy.
–John Fraser
I agree with your
correspondent Anna Clarke
and support the Selwyn District
Council’s position of NOT
adding “library” to the Te Ara
Ātea building signage.
The library is just one of the
services offered from within the
building. Other services like the
cafe, internet access, or public
toilets can probably lay claim to
being listed as well.
Where will this stop? Maybe
the residents association will be
wanting to list other services to
signs outside other buildings.
Should we also add ‘pay rates’ to
signs outside the council buildings.
Or put up signs to explain
what a Robert Harris café, Z
petrol station, or Noel Leeming
retail store is?
Te Ara Ātea is a fantastic name
that describes the wide range of
activities that go on in its spaces.
Ka pai to the rūnanga for gifting
it to us all.
–Justin Blakie
I do not agree with adding the
word “library” to the beautiful
multipurpose venue that is Te
Ara Ātea.
The fact that having our
first and only venue with a
beautifully gifted te reo place
name has seemingly offended
some residents says more about
their belligerence and wilful
ignorance than it does about an
apparent inability to recognise a
bookshelf or a public venue.
In reading some of the
letters in last week’s issue,
I’m concerned that this
inconsequential issue is being
subverted into a debate that has
nothing to do with Te Ara Ātea
or libraries at all, but more to
do with unrelated issues like cogovernance
and an unsavoury
debate about race and cultural
identity. All of which takes
away from the amazing venue
itself, the staff who work there,
the people who designed it, the
residents and their children who
love and enjoy it.
–Paul Hamilton,
West Melton

Council building consent
accreditation renewed
The Council’s building consent team has had its accreditation renewed to
continue issuing building consents after its latest assessment.
The assessment is required by law every two years.
Sizzling summer activities
on the way for Selwyn
Roller skating, kite flying, outdoor movies and picnics are all on the way for Selwyn
this summer, thanks to the Council’s annual Summer in Selwyn
events programme.
Copies of this year’s brochure are now available to pick up from Council facilities
or download online, with activities for every member of the family.
The fun starts on Friday 2 December with an outdoor screening of The Muppet
Christmas Carol movie in Leeston, while customised skateboards will be up for
grabs the following weekend at the opening of the Rolleston Town Centre Youth
Space on 11 December.
Mayor Sam Broughton says this year’s activities are bound to delight.
“Whether you’re eight or 80, there is something for everyone in the brochure.
Popular favourites like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic and Summer Pool Parties are back,
and there are a number of new events planned as well.”
“Selwyn is an amazing place to be in summer, so be sure to make the most of it at
the more than 60 activities in this year’s Summer in Selwyn programme,” he says.
New activities this year include Jump and Juggle bouncy castles at the Selwyn
Sports Centre on 20 January, and a chalk art competition in Lincoln, West Melton
and Rolleston.
The brochure also features sport, library and recreation events at Council facilities,
and showcases some of the district’s best family-friendly bike trails.

Thousands enjoy Te Ara Ātea in first year
As it approaches its first birthday Te Ara Ātea is already showing itself to be one of
the most popular community facilities in the district.
More than 164,000 visits have been made to the arts, culture, learning and
community space on Tennyson Street since it opened on 2 December 2021. That
included 15,000 people who attended over 900 workshops and programmes ranging
from live music, language learning, heritage and cultural activities, to JP clinics, craft
workshops and even reading aloud to dogs.
Te Ara Ātea hosts a fully
integrated public gallery and
museum experiences over
two floors with; 22 heritage
exhibition cases with items
telling stories of the district and
Rolleston town.
It also includes a popular café
and Selwyn’s largest library
collection with 41,000 items. By
mid-November Te Ara Ātea had
seen 310,546 items checked
out and signed up 4335 new
Selwyn Libraries users.
It has been special to see the huge numbers enjoying everything on offer, Council Arts
Culture and Lifelong Learning Manager Nicki Moen says.
“It’s been a fantastic first year of operation and business has far exceeded what we
expected. We’re thrilled to have so many people regularly visit us from across Selwyn
District. It’s been a real delight to our team over the year to see so many older people
visiting with their children and grandchildren.
"Te Ara Ātea is a treasure for our community. Right now, if you visited you’d see
people upstairs studying for exams, people in the café and enjoying the Pahū art
exhibition, the books, exploring the heritage displays and kids playing with the craft
and technology kits. The other day it was so full there wasn’t a free seat to be
found upstairs.”
Te Ara Ātea also won both a Canterbury Architecture Awards and the Creative New
Zealand Award for Cultural Wellbeing at the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ)
Excellence Awards during the year.
A celebration of the first year of the facility will be held on Sunday 4 December,
10am–4pm. For details visit selwynlibraries.co.nz.
The building team was commended by International Accreditation New
Zealand (IANZ) as one of the country’s top performers during its accreditation
assessment last year, on behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (MBIE).
While praising the team for its great work it identified four non-compliance
issues, which were partially addressed during the assessment, and requested
ongoing evidence of the Council’s work in these areas.
This included building consent processing timeframes, which were exceeding
the statutory timeframe of 20 working days. However, with sustained progress
on consent times, the accreditation has been confirmed and MBIE is confident
the Council is doing everything it can to address the pressures it is under; with
the highest numbers of building consent applications in the country and a
national shortage of consent staff.
Council building manager Vanessa Mitchell says the accreditation came after
huge work from staff.
“We’re the busiest team in the country right now and still seeing good
improvements thanks to the massive work effort the team has put it. It’s great
to see that recognised by IANZ and by MBIE. We’ve tried new and innovative
things to work both with the industry through our partnership programme and
to address the national shortage of consent staff through our internships and
we’re seeing the results with our first round of interns in work and our second
intake nearly finished their training.”

Reconnecting Selwyn with international agencies
and students overseas
Helping reconnect Selwyn schools with international students was the aim at an event supported
by the Council earlier this month.
Directing managers from international agencies and staff from Selwyn’s high schools met for the
Selwyn International Education Networking event, hosted by Mayor Sam Broughton. After two
years on hold due to Covid, the event was an opportunity for networking and learning about the
benefits of international students studying in Selwyn.
It was great to be able to host an event linking Selwyn’s education providers with international
student agents, as our international student programme bounces back Mayor Sam says.
“Getting the programme up and running again brings
considerable economic benefits for our district, as well
as supporting the cultural diversity for youth in our
community. It also provides opportunities for language
growth and building our international relationships.”
Waseda Study Overseas Centre South Island Area
Manager, Miki Furuse said she was hoping to make
new connections and gather information to help
recruit Japanese students.
“During Covid, we lost contact with the schools, but I
am excited to start building relationships with them
again. Students want to live in rural areas and the ski programmes are also really popular."
Rolleston College Deputy Principal, Pete Buyers says he made new connections and it was the start
of some great opportunities.
“I really enjoyed seeing the pride we have in our region and what it has to offer anyone who lives
here long or short term.”
In 2019 research done by New Zealand Education showed that the total economic value of
students studying in New Zealand was $4.93 billion. While 55 percent of these students studied in
Auckland, Canterbury had the second highest percentage of students in the country of 12 percent.

TE ARA ĀTEA DEBATE
•From page 20
Readers who want to
see a name change
We love the new Rolleston
library and go there regularly.
It’s a beautiful building, full
of interest with a great selection
of books and magazines, good
coffee, comfortable chairs,
friendly staff and well-designed
work and meeting spaces. We
also find the landscaping very
attractive.
Before we ever visited the
building, we had read the publicity
information. There was no
mention of the word library or
where to find it.
We had no idea what or where
the building was. We looked it
up online and were surprised to
read that it was a library.
We drew our local library
staff’s attention to these omissions.
They were surprised that
no mention of Rolleston or
library existed in the publicity
material.
We think the word library is
essential.
It could even be library and
community hub. – Jennifer and
Craufurd Murray
Congratulations to the ratepayers’
association for bringing
the issue of the word library to
the building.
If it is more than a library
then say so. This is not a racist
issue as Anna Clarke suggests
– it’s plain common sense. –

I am appalled that word library
appears nowhere on the front
of this building, I am so sick of
giving people directions to help
them find it.
Also the name given needs
to be translated to its English
meaning.
Thought should be given on all
our structures to at the very least
displaying both languages.
I feel we still have a long way
to go before the majority of New
Zealanders understand our earliest
cultural language. – Craig
Stare
It absolutely needs the word
library included, preferably at the
start.
Too many public and government
agencies are prominently
pushing the change on signage
and place names from English
to te reo. No one has any idea
what the agencies represent these
days and I for one think if we get
another major disaster in this
country the confusion because
of all of these changes is going to
cause chaos and possible danger
to life. – Karin Northrop
I agree that it is totally absurd
not having the Rolleston library
named as the Rolleston Library.
This building should be titled
Rolleston Library then if they
want to use this Maori title as
well it should definitely be underneath
the English title.
Even if there are other activities
held at the library, it is still
logical to name the building after
the main purpose of the building,
in a manner which everyone
understands.
It is especially confusing for
visitors and tourists to the region.
– Anne Finch
Our simple answer is yes.
Please add the word library, we
didn’t know what that building
was for until we read the article
in the Selwyn Times. – John and
Trish Crawford
How insensitive and morally
wrong is it to have signage on a
council building confusing to
the general community of
Rolleston?
No one disputes the many
attributes this building endorses
with its Maori name. Still, it is
also a library to the larger community
of Rolleston and this
should be recognised by adding
the library word to the existing
signage. – Steven Bryant,
Springston
A big thank you to the Rolleston
Residents Association. With
its enthusiasm we may right a big
wrong.
Add Rolleston Library to the
building, same size as the Maori
version.
As a long time resident of
Selwyn, I welcome a new library
with the usual multiple functions.
– Don Lorking
No wonder every picture of the
so-called mayor shows Sam
Broughton smiling.
Who wouldn’t with a pay
increase of $8400 all paid for by
residents of the borough who are
struggling with the high cost of
living.
I am sure working men and
The wide consensus regarding
the name of Te Ara Ātea is very
clear amongst the wider community
of Selwyn.
Mayor Sam Broughton makes
it clear he is not interested in listening
to the voices of the people
who helped put him back in the
mayoral position.
Broughton has completely
missed the point of the Te Ara
Ātea issue. Selwyn is a multicultural
district, all of whom
will speak their native language
and English as a second language
if they are immigrants here.
What Broughton needs to
understand is that people of all
cultures generally speak and
understand English more than
they do te reo.
If the word library is the
sticking point because it doesn’t
reflect the nature of what is in
that building, then call it Te
Ara Ātea Cultural Centre/
Library.
That way it represents the
meaning of the name gifted and
it is identified by the large majority
of the people of the district to
being a welcoming place to visit
because they know what it is by
its English name.
To completely ignore the
wishes of the majority based on
Broughton’s personal opinion
and sentiment smacks of
arrogance and divisiveness. –
Maureen Scott
I think the name library needs
to be added as well as the Maori
name.
I’ve nothing against the Maori
name but English names seems
to be getting pushed out.
If this an example of cogoverance
I’m not a fan. – Dawn
Henderson
Broughton pay increase
women would love to have that
pay rise.
Absolutely obnoxious. Plus
not listening to the views of
the residents of Rolleston that
the library should be called the
library.
Pleased I did not vote for him.

Mike De Filippi: Confidence and guile
• By Mick Guerin
COLIN DE Filippi doesn’t
hesitate for a second when asked
to rate the talent of his brother
Mike, who passed away at his
home recently.
“He was a better driver than
me, right from the start,” says
Colin.
It is one of the ultimate
compliments for Mike, who
would have turned 72 on
October 30, but died after a
difficult last year of failing
health.
While the dual De Filippis
have been part of harness racing
industry for as long as anybody
can remember, Mike’s name has
not been as prominent in recent
years as first his eyesight
then his health started to
deteriorate.
But there was a reason both
brothers are in the elite 1000-
win driving club. For all Colin’s
polish and patience Mike (1161
career wins) was confidence and
guile, both natural horsemen
who chose to sharpen different
tools of the ones they were
gifted.
There was a time in the 1980s
and 90s they were feared by
rivals and loved by punters in
an era of horsemen like Robert
Cameron, Peter Jones and Jack
Smolenski, to mention a few. A
time of rare skill and plenty of
MASTER: Top driver and trainer Mike De Filippi with daughter Joanne.
cunning. Even then, whether
it be dominating Victoria Park
in Greymouth or pulling off a
sting at Addington, Mike was a
small giant, armed with total self
belief.
“He was a better driver than
me right from when were
young,” says Colin matter-offact.
Even though you know the
comments of a loving brother
will be through the rose-tinted
glasses of grief, Colin says there
was proof of his talent long
before Mike found this throne in
a sulky.
“He was always a talented
sportsman, he was a bloody good
rugby player and I kind of wish
he hadn’t given it up so young,”
says Colin.
“And he could box. He has fast
hands but his only real boxing
fight came when he was six in
Reefton.
“Dad took him along there and
the only other kid they had him
PHOTO: HRNZ
to fight was eight years old and
the doctor didn’t want to allow it
cause Mike was so small.
“Dad said let him fight cause
he will be okay and Mike beat
the other kid up and after that
Did didn’t take him back to
boxing any more.”
He put those fast hands and
sharp eyes to spectacular use
in the sulky and had his share
of really good horses like Quiet
Win, who finished third to
Bonnies Chance and Armalight
in a real New Zealand Cup in
1982.
Another of his good pacers
Hoppy’s Jet was good enough to
win an Ashburton Flying Stakes
26 years ago beating big Cups
winners in Bee Bee Cee, Master
Musician and Burlington Bertie.
Sundowner Bay was a highly
talented trotter, Alias Armbro
who Mike drove to win the 1979
Dominion may have been a
better one.
Mike also triumphed in one
of our most infamous harness
races, the 1984 NZ Derby
which Naval Officer won after a
sickening smash that saw nine
horses fall at the Addington
winning post 200m after the
start.
Only five horses remained on
their feet and Mike, not one to
get fazed, secured the one-one
with Naval Officer and timed
his run to perfection to win
the classic like nothing has
happened until after the race.
That was Mike De Filippi.
Laser-sharp focus, determined,
talented, little time for fools but
all the time in the world during
a race.
He is survived by four
daughters and two sons.
He is also survived by
some great stories and iconic
moments. And tremendous
respect inside his industry.

• By Dave Di Somma
HE’D HEARD plenty about
it beforehand, but visiting
harness racing personality Paul
Campbell says New Zealand Cup
and Show Week far exceeded his
own high expectations.
“This is how and why you fall
in love with harness racing,” he
says.
The Victorian-based Australian,
who has thousands of
Facebook and Twitter followers
on his harness racing platform
Campbell’s Comments, was
brought here by Harness Racing
New Zealand and NZ Bloodstock
to see New Zealand Cup
and Show week for himself.
During his 10 days here he
attended meetings at Kaikoura,
Addington, and Ashburton,
interviewing dozens of trainers,
owners and many other key
industry figures.
His verdict on his stay here?
“Amazing.”
His first on-course experience
was Kaikoura Cup day at South
Bay on Monday, October 31.
In short he loved it with its setting
and general bustle.
“Kaikoura is just the most
magic experience you can have
in harness racing.”
“It’s like going to a ‘once a year
bush track’ but it’s a great social
day.”
“They talk about the Little
Brown Jugs and that and I would
say Kaikoura would stack up easily
against any of those.”
From Kaikoura he headed
south as Christchurch geared up
for its biggest week of the year.
“What makes the New Zealand
Cup special is the build up
– we have the breeders’ awards
one night, the cocktail party the
night before that, the cup trial.”
“Then you go to Addington
on the Tuesday and it’s still not
over, you’ve got the gallops at
Riccarton, Ashburton on the
Thursday and then Show Day
. . . it’s breathtaking how long
it is and the buy-in from all the

participants.”
Campbell acknowledges he
got the VIP treatment during his
stay here and is grateful he had
access to areas of the industry
that others don’t. He says it
helped him get real insight into
how the Cup carnival works.
“I think it could be sold better
across the Tasman and held in
more respect by the Australians
. . . I think they need to show
more respect to it.”
He’s miffed that New Zealand
Cup and Show week coincides
with the very lucrative Australian
Breeders Crown series back
home.
GOOD TIMES:

says New

and Show
Week was
‘amazing’.

“It seems ludicrous that we
have got pinnacle races in
Australasia and they are having
feature races in Victoria and
New South Wales and they need
to look at that,” says Campbell.
Campbell would like to see
greater co-operation between the
two countries but isn’t holding
his breath.
“I’m a big believer that New
Zealand and Australia are one .
. . imagine what you could do if
they cleared the calendar for the
second Tuesday in November so
there’s no feature races the weekend
prior or the weekend after.
“You look at guys like Clayton
Tonkin and Emma Stewart and
Luke McCarthy – they are flat
out, schedule is too busy, they
can’t come here because they are
so busy.”
To illustrate his point, the allpowerful
Tonkin-Stewart barn
won seven out of eight breeders
crown semi finals last weekend
and the McCarthy-trained
Spirit of St Louis won fresh up at
Menangle as he prepares for the
up-coming Inter Dominions.
This year two Australians did
actually make it for the Cup with
Majestic Cruiser and Rock N
Roll Doo but Campbell says that
doesn’t automatically mean that
will become the norm.
“Arden Rooney won it in 2015
but that didn’t change much for
the Aussies coming here.”
Campbell would also like to
see a change of emphasis when
it comes to what is known as
New Zealand Cup and Show
Week.
“From an outsider’s point of
view I’d stop talking about it
as Cup week and think of it as
Cup fortnight, starting at Kaikoura
and building all the way
through.
“There’s just so much going
on and the experience could be
magnified through trips to studs
and all the race meetings.”
So would he return?
“In a heartbeat!”

IT’S NOVEMBER. Early birds
and those who have been doing
succession planting have already
been harvesting lettuces, beans,
brassicas and more.
It’s very exciting to see the
spring blooms posted on social
media. Now let’s get ready for the
many things to do this month.

Keep your blooms flowering into summer
• By Henri Ham
November planting guide
Garden maintenance
Weed, weed, weed
Check greenhouse ventilation
Prepare for dry spells, watersaving
techniques
Deadhead flowers
Feed roses
Watch out for slugs and snails
ZING: Add some colour to your summer garden – petunias
are low maintenance and are great for borders.
Vegetable garden
There’s so many more options
now – tomatoes, chillies, capsicums,
eggplants, beans, zucchinis,
rock melon, cucumber and more.
You may want to use bamboo
sticks to act as frames and stakes
to guide your plants to grow upwards.
This way, you have more space
for other plants in your garden
beds. Staking tomato plants
earlier will prevent root damage
as they grow. Plant basil, spring
onions in between spaces.
Herb garden
Basil is a top plant to grow
this month. Basil is a great pest
deterrent. It produces a wonderful
fragrance in your garden and
you’ll be spoiled with freshly
made pesto-based dishes. This
is the month to grow herbs that
liven up the flavour of your meals.
You may also want to try coriander
and chives.
Flower garden
The flower season is here and
all over New Zealand, gardens are
blooming with pride.
Petunias are low-maintenance
flowers and great for borders,
beddings and also hanging baskets.
Plant flowers near your garden
beds to encourage bees and
beneficial insects to visit the vege
garden. Marigolds, petunias, lavenders
are available throughout
the spring-summer season. It’s
important to have flowers around
the time your veges are flowering
for higher chances of pollination.
If you are thinking of growing
something different, you
may want to consider celosia
kimono mix. Large waxy green
leaves frame celosia’s spectacular
flowers, which bloom in vibrant
yellow, orange and reds.
Lastly, it’s the month to start
zinnias. Zinnia flowers from
summer through to early autumn.
It’s good for planting in bedding,
edging or as cut flowers.
Remember that summer is
nearly here and gardeners need
to watch out for many dry spells.
Start researching and listing your
ideas for water conservation and
storage. Drip irrigation systems
may help with tomato plants
as they require slow but deep
watering.
Are you ready to grow?

to get their hands dirty.

Nests blocking spouting
can cause issues
Yes it’s that time of the year when the pesky
starlings return to nest in your spouting. Not only can
it be noisy and dirty but their eggs and young chicks
can also attract vermin.
These rats can then make their way inside your roof
and even chew through your wiring.
Local company Gumleaf Gutter Guard has the
answer with guards that protect your costly spouting
not only preventing nesting birds but also from snow
damage and contamination of tank water, ensuring
the safety and quality of the water supply.
Another key advantage of Gumleaf Gutter Guard
is that it prevents leaf litter from gathering in the
spouting.
“Leaf litter remains damp and acidic and that
wrecks the spouting,” says owner Rohan.
“By having Gumleaf Gutter Guard installed, the
life of the spouting is extended to the life of the
roof.”
Materials and advice are available for both
trade customers and DIY. For the DIY expert
installation videos are available on their website
www.gumleaf.co.nz.
Developed in Australia more than 20 years
ago, Gumleaf Gutter Guard has been providing a
quality and effective solution in New Zealand for
the last decade, Rohan says.
Much of his work comes from repeat business,
with customers happy with both the product
quality and the service he provides. Customers
requesting a quote will receive it within 24 hours,
and Rohan says he will “go anywhere to provide a
quote”.
He is also available Monday to Saturday to speak to
customers who call him.
“Even if I am working on a job, I will talk to anyone
who calls me,” he says.
Once a quote is accepted, the job is started within
10 days, with installation on an average sized
house taking one to two days. Rohan also does any
necessary minor repair jobs on the roof at the same
time.
To discuss your requirements with Gumleaf
Gutter Guard, phone 0800 486 532 or email

Tree debris can sit in spouting for weeks.

Laundry spring cleaning list
Summer is on its way and it’s time to make a start of the spring
cleaning that you’ve been putting off. Here is a list to get your started.
Clean the inside and outside of
your washing machine
• Remove any items left in the tub and
add a washing machine cleaner tablet
• Select your washer’s cleaning cycle or a
normal cycle with hot water setting.
• For top load washers, run a rinse and
spin cycle to clear away any excess cleansers
after your cleaning cycle ends.
• Leave your washer door open to let the
tub dry.
Deep clean your dryer lint screen
• It’s a good idea to clean your lint screen
more thoroughly once every six months,
especially if you notice hard-to-remove lint.
• Roll any remaining lint off the screen,
then wet both sides with hot water.
• Gently scrub the mesh with a nylon
brush dipped in hot water and liquid
detergent to remove any buildup.
• Rinse with hot water and dry
thoroughly before returning to your dryer.
• Clear or vacuum any debris before
cleaning.
• Rub the drum with a soft cloth that has
been dipped in a mild hand-wash dish soap
diluted in very warm water.
• Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
• Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels
to dry the drum.
Reorganise and maximize your
laundry storage
• Take a quick inventory of your laundry
supplies and stock up on anything you’re
missing.
• Get rid of anything that you haven’t
used recently. Can you make your own
cleaners out of natural products and recycle
the bottles?
• Consider installing shelving above
your washing machine and dryer to store
detergent, laundry boosters, stain fighters
and other essentials.
Vacuum and mop your laundry
room floors
General spring cleaning tips
• Get caught up on your laundry, put
all the clean clothes away and remove all
baskets from the floor.
• Wash your comforters, mattress covers,
pillows and curtains
• Clean your winter gear and store it
away to make room in your closet for warm
weather clothing.
By following these handy tips and
breaking them down in to a list, cleaning
your laundry can be less overwhelming and
more achievable.

Get rid of those germs
Not many people know is that kitchens
can harbour more germs than a toilet,
particularly in the sink and surface areas.
Even though surfaces may appear
clean, they may still harbor invisible
bacteria such as Salmonella and E coli.
Sponges and rags, countertops and
cutting boards are common kitchen
surfaces where bacteria can thrive.
We often wash our hands in the
kitchen sink, but when doing that you
could be making the sink dirty? The
bacteria is then washed into the sink and
drain. Between prepping and cleaning,
the kitchen is an active incubator for
bacteria.
So what can you do to minimise the
risk of contamination from your sink?
Disinfect it from time to time, preferably
using an antibacterial cleaner, and wash
vegetables under running water rather
than filling up the sink.
Here are some more tips to make sure
your kitchen is germ free.
Clean your wooden cutting
boards
1. Scrub the board and sprinkle with
coarse salt. Cut a lemon in half and rub
cut-side-down over the salt on the board,
scrubbing in small circles, working in the
direction of the grain.
1. Let it sit. Allow the salt and lemon
solution to sit for about 5 minutes.
2. Rinse. Rinse the board thoroughly,
making sure all of the salt is removed,
then dry it.
Clean out your dishwasher filter
If you rinse your plates before loading
them, you may only need to do this once
a year.
1. Remove your filter from the
dishwasher. Consult your owner’s manual
for the location.
2. Run water over the lower filter to
remove debris. If needed, use a soft brush
and dish soap as well.
3. Return the filter to your
dishwasher, making sure each piece is
locked into place.
Clean the inside of your fridge
1. Remove food from your
refrigerator and freezer and place
it in coolers. Throw out spoiled or
expired food, then take out the shelves
and drawers to get them to room
temperature.
2. Using a degreasing non-abrasive
cleaner, wipe down the walls, ceiling and
bottom of your refrigerator and rinse
with a soft, damp cloth.
3. With the same process, wipe down
and rinse the drawers and shelves. Let
them dry completely before replacing

No vehicle charges
for local electrician
The Juice Electrical vans are well known around
Selwyn and beyond and one of the many reasons to
choose the company for your electrical needs is that they
don’t charge vehicle costs for residential clients.
On top of that you are guaranteed an awesome service
from a team that has been servicing the area for 18 years!
Owner Greg Horton and his team of master
electricians provide a professional and timely service not
just for residential customers but also commercial and
industrial, for both indoors or outdoors.
“We are also experts in fault finding, repairs and
maintenance,” says Greg.
Heading towards summer is a great time to think about
your outdoor areas and how they could be enhanced
with lights, he says.
Integrated LED lighting, in particular, is becoming
very popular as it is a lot easier and less expensive to
install as there is no need to dig trenches for wiring.
When you are thinking about your outdoor space,
options include up-lighting trees and buildings, deck
lighting, doors and steps and floodlights along with the
all important security lights. They advise on the best type
and where they should be placed for maximum impract..
“We discuss the customer’s ideas with them, show
them photos of other gardens with attractive outdoor
lighting and make suggestions on how they can make the
most of their outdoor area with a range of LED lighting
options,” says Greg. He recommends installing sensors so
the lights come on automatically as it gets dark.
“We also have Juice “pips” for turning them on from
your mobile phone.”
Next time you need an electrician look no further
than Juice Electrical. You’ll see them out and about in
their brightly coloured vans as they work hard to look
after the Selwyn district’s electrical needs. Call Greg
and the team on 379 6644.

your requirement, so call into our shop at Pumps & Filters, 551 Halswell

Great season for inspiration
Now is the perfect time to visit Southern
Woods Nursery and plan your summer
planting with a huge range of plants instore
to provide inspiration for the warmer
days.
“With a good layer of mulch and
efficient irrigation, you can plant many
species well into the summer here in
Selwyn,” says Business Development
manager Rico Mannall.
Southern Woods also has a great
selection of dry tolerant native
species such as Kanuka, Coprosma or
Muehlenbeckia or exotic trees from hot/
dry climates such as bays, rosemary, olives
and oaks – they have very low watering
requirements once established.
Heading in to festive season, a living
Christmas tree could be an option such as
a Pohutukawa or conifer, says Rico.
Southern Woods’ team of 50 passionate
staff are always on hand to help with
your plant selection to suit your location, soil type
and aspect. Between them they have many years
of experience planting across New Zealand, with a
particular knowledge of the Selwyn where many of
them live.
“We really appreciate the support from all our
customers and our ‘local’ commitment extends to
sourcing from Selwyn suppliers and businesses,” says
Rico.
The purpose-built retail store is filled with a huge
range of options for ground cover, hedging, deciduous
trees, bushes and grasses, along with spots of colour to
add focus. Ornamentals and natives can add height and
structure to your garden. And most are grown on site.
Southern Woods can also provide on-site
consultations and design landscape plans for new
sections including preparing the soil for planting to
get the best results. Another option is to take in your
landscape plans and they can help with the supply and
staging for your project.
Southern Woods stocks everything you will need
to refresh your garden, including premium tools,
bark, fertiliser, compost, disease control products and
potting mix.
Delivery can be arranged across New Zealand and
is a popular option for many customers, says Rico.
You can visit the Southern Woods website at www.
southernwoods.co.nz for more information or, even
better, pop in for a visit at 1002 Robinsons Road for
some inspiration and new ideas for your garden.
There is plenty of free parking.

Haval joins the hybrid revolution
EVEN THOUGH Haval has
only been in the New Zealand
automotive market for just five
years, its impact must been as seen
as significant given in this industry
that is a relatively short space of
time.
Credit for its success must be
laid squarely in the hands of the
distributor’s dealer network. In
Christchurch Haval is managed by
an enthusiastic team and they have
capitalised on success they gleaned
when Great Wall arrived in the city
in 2012.
Haval is part of the giant Great
Wall conglomerate, a Chinese
company that is no stranger to the
automotive industry, it has been
building cars and trucks since 1984
and together it and Haval dovetail
nicely with a raft of commercial
and family-friendly models.
Mostly, though, Haval is about
sport utility vehicles – H6 and
Jolion, the latter an SUV available
in four specification variants listing
from $29,990. The pricing structure
is one of the ingredients that has
made Haval a popular seller here in
Christchurch, the brand represents
value, but you also get amazing
value within the product.
This evaluation focuses on a
newcomer to the Jolion badge
and it is a hybrid. It’s not a plug-in
hybrid but more of what you would
find in, dare I say it, Toyota’s hybrid
system.
Put simply, there is an engine and
motor, the four-cylinder 1.5-litre
unit drives the front wheels and
charges a battery pack providing
power to the electric motor that, in
turn, assists the engine to accelerate
and maintain pace.
The Jolion Ultra hybrid sits in
the market at $43,490, that’s a price
that will lure many, it is also even
more tempting when you consider
you’ll also get a $2026 rebate back
from the Government as part of its
Clean Car Programme.
It must also be said that the
Jolion in this form has everything.
It’s high in tech as well as
having features for comfort and
convenience. The layout is clean,
tidy and comprehensive with
enough digital depth to keep a
Boeing pilot happy. While the
graphics are extensive, it’s an
intuitive and user-friendly system.
Once familiar, the Jolion is as easy
to drive as any SUV in today’s
market.
What’s more, it is familyfriendly
in terms of comfort and
convenience. Even at just 4.5m it’s a
true five-seater with onboard space
to keep five adults comfortable and
contained safely. If you have cargo
to carry there’s room for 390-litres
behind the rear seats, with them
folded flat that area extends to
1069-litres.
At the other end sits a 1497cc
engine. This is the same unit
that powers the rest of the Jolion
range except that it doesn’t get the
turbocharger of its stablemates. It
doesn’t need it, when you combine
the outputs of the petrol engine and
the electric motor there’s 139kW
FUNCTIONAL: The Haval Jolion has traditional SUV values.
HAVAL JOLION HYBRID: Traditional petrol engine and hybrid driveline.
on tap, enough power to tackle any
of today’s driving situations. Add in
the strong bottom end torque flow
(375Nm) you have figures that are
well up to par.
The hybrid system also has one
other major benefit. That’s the fuel
usage figures. Haval claims a fivelitre
per 100km combined cycle
average, during my evaluation time
the readout was listing around that
figure largely due to the fact that
during majority of the time I had in
the evaluation car it was at highway
speed.
Of course, this has distance
benefits. When I picked up the
vehicle it was showing just half a
tank of fuel, yet it had well over
400km to run before the tank was
empty. On that basis, up to 1000km
could be achievable between fillups
if sensible driving techniques
are followed. To help boost fuel
thrift the driveline incorporates
an economy drive mode, it is one
of four drive modes that can be
chosen, depending on the journey
ahead; the others are normal, sport
or snow mode, the latter to aid
traction on slippery surfaces.
The Jolion in this form isn’t
disgraced either in terms of
acceleration. It will make 100km/h
from a standstill in 8.2sec and will
power through a highway overtake
(80-120km/h) in around 6sec.
Conscious of the evaluation
car being a dealer demonstrator,
• Price – Haval Jolion Ultra
hybrid, $43,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4472mm; width, 1841mm;
height, 1574mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1497cc, 70kW
(+110kW), 125Nm
(+250Nm), automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.2sec
• Fuel usage – 5l/100km
I didn’t travel as far as I normally
would, but I did head a long way
west taking in some of my favourite
roads near Hororata, returning
home through Dunsandel and
Lincoln. The Jolion in this form is
a superb highway cruiser, it is quiet
and the suspension offers a perfect
combination of compliance and
comfort.
It also handles typically of a
modern SUV, and credit must
be given to the suspension
engineering team who have created
that soft feel beneath, but not at the
cost of wayward body movement in
a corner. The Jolion sits quite tall at
almost 1.6m, but gravitational force
doesn’t work against it in a corner,
the spring and damper rates are
structured to keep that movement
in check without overly firming
spring tension.
It’s fair to point out that the
Jolion in all forms only has drive
to the front wheels and the rear
suspension is a simple torsion
beam type, that being the case, the
fact there is good body composure
in a corner is even more
remarkable.
I must mention as well the
Jolion rides on quality rubber, the
225/55 x 18in Kumho tyres are
quiet and very informative. What’s
more, there is a good footprint on
the road, the driver fully aware of
handling feel when quick corners
are presented. Communication
between the road, chassis and
steering wheel is presented
strongly.
The car buying public are very
savvy at present. There’s a lot of
dialogue going on about petrol
prices versus fully electric vehicles.
Hybrids are there to meet those
options fair in the middle. You
don’t have to go far to find a valuebased
hybrid these days, and they
will all save you a heap of money by
powering past petrol pumps on a
regular basis.
I guess Haval in Christchurch
will find its main competitor is
one of the other brands at the
dealership – MG also has a hybrid
SUV on the lot. I’m sure the sales
teams for both brands will find the
market big enough to compete in
side by side without battling each
other.

WHAT IS THE
MEASURE OF
A FULL LIFE?
At Ryman, we believe the measure of a full life
is one that gets richer with age. A life where
you can appreciate the little things.
Rediscover lost passions and plunge headfirst
into new ones. Surround yourself with new
people, old friends and close family. Live with
opportunities and experiences at your doorstep.
That’s why we’re creating communities that
challenge the expectations of ageing, while
bringing joy and meaning to every moment.

A DARFIELD farmer has
spoken of watching a man leap into
the flooded Hawkins River to try and
save himself after a helicopter winch
rescue operation failed.
Rod May had taken his tractor to
the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and
reach the middle-aged man who had
been clinging to the branches of a tree
in the rising waters on Sunday night.
The man had driven into the
flooded river, escaped from his car
and ca led emergency services from
his ce lphone which he managed to
keep with him.
Ultimately, a second helicopter
winch operation plucked the man
to safety after he was swept downstream.
It was a happy ending to the
ordeal which had lasted more than
three hours. The rescue was among
several in Canterbury on Sunday in
flooded rivers.
May said he and his family had just
had dinner when a neighbour alerted
them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw
the floodwaters were too high for the
tractor, however, he used its lights for
i luminating the site where the man
was. • Turn to page 5

• By Ba ry Clarke
A BAR patron who won $1200
on the pokies may have been
targeted by thieves moments after
she co lected the money.
A group of men who were in
the bar a 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 a the
bar, the men who had been
si ting 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
Police say they may have

WHY USE A NEWSPAPER
TO ADVERTISE?
• Offer targeted
advertising through
regular weekly inserts,
or monthly sections, or
special promotions
• Offers flexibility and
frequency - businesses
can choose the size
and location of the ad
as well as when and how often the ad
will appear
• Offer professional design services
- businesses can work with a designer to get
the design and style they want at no extra cost
• Provide affordability - generally costs
less than television, radio, and direct mail
advertising and can be designed to suit
any budget
• Reach more readers - newspapers sit around
from week to week and readers are more likely
to come back to a newspaper to find and save
information
• Capture more attention - newspaper readers
spend a longer period of time reading a
newspaper whereas research indicates, “the
average attention span of an Internet user is
eight seconds”
• Offer integrated services - such as online
advertising on news sites, professional
photography, and videography, and parallel
advertising in other publications.

Buying a lifestyle block
City life getting you down? Dreaming of
living in the country, where you ‘commute’
from the breakfast table to a barn or your
home office? It might look like an easy life
but buying a lifestyle property can be a
complex business.
While living in the country has much
to recommend it, you need to do more
preparation for buying a place there than
buying a pair of gumboots and comparing
the merits of ride-on mowers.
We recommend comprehensive due
diligence when buying any kind of property,
but rural ones come with a whole extra set
of things to think about compared to buying
a straightforward stand-alone home in
town”.
While it’s tempting to focus on the dream
wish list for your bucolic bolt-hole, but you
should also compile a list of issues to be
aware of (and people who can help you learn
about them).
“If the property you like is being sold by
a licensed real estate agent, remember that
you can ask them anything you like about it”.
“Rural real estate agents have special
skills in this area and they’ll be able to help
you figure out what information you need
to make a well-informed decision. It’s also
a good idea to get your lawyer onboard
early to check titles, consents and other
information that you gather in the process.”
It might feel like you’re getting away from
it all when moving out of town, but rural
developments can be subject to rules that
restrict what you can do. REA recommends
getting your lawyer to check if there are any
covenants on the property that might have
an impact on a future business you may
run there, or any planned building projects.
You don’t want to invest in an alpaca herd
for your new dream property only to find
that it’s not allowed to carry any livestock.
Similarly, it would be tough to discover that
your subdivision plans are not permitted by
council rules.
Be aware that there may be tax
implications if you’re planning to use the
property as a business.
“In general, if it is currently being used for
a business that is tax-registered – whether
that’s selling organic eggs, grazing stock
or running a B&B – then the seller will
probably add GST to the price. This means
you’ll pay an extra 15 per cent, unless you
are also registered for GST. Ask your lawyer
or accountant to check if the house or any
other buildings on the property are GSTexempt.
They will also be able to advise you
on whether you need to be GST-registered.”
A good place to start when trying to
figure out what tax obligations might
attach to your purchase of the property
is Inland Revenue’s property tax decision
tree (available at http://www.ird.govt.
nz/property/property-terms-and-tools/
property-decision-tree/), but keep in mind
that it is always best to seek professional
advice before you make a decision.
Rural properties (like all properties) can
also have easements on the title that relate to
access, water or power. You should ask your
lawyer to check the title and work out what
the easements are, and how they will have an
impact on your rights and responsibilities as
an owner.
“For example, if the title allows a
neighbour access to a piece of their land
through your property, do you have any
right to limit the type and frequency of that
access if you buy it?”
Be aware too that there may be ‘unofficial’
easements operating; the incumbent
owners may have an informal arrangement
with their neighbours, but this may not
remain when the property passes into new
ownership.
Things that we take for granted when
living in urban environments, like water,
sewage and access, can require more
involvement in rural areas. Check the water
sources for the property – if it has its own
bore, are there limits on the amount of
water you can draw from it? What is the
process for ensuring it is safe to drink? What
happens to wastewater and sewage? Are you
prepared for life with a septic tank? Will the
current owner ensure the tank is empty as a
condition of sale?
When it comes to access, will you
share a private road or right of way with
other properties? What will be your
responsibilities and potential costs for
maintaining it? Don’t forget that your
neighbours may be involved in unglamorous
activities at ungodly hours – check the
zoning rules for nearby properties if you’re
worried about noise, smells or traffic. You
might think it’s lovely to have stock grazing
out the window, but are you ready for a
milk tanker driving past every morning? Be
aware that the LIM will not always alert you
to any pending or current NZTA decisions
regarding local highway linkages that often
divert traffic away from urban centres in
favour of immediate rural areas on the town
boundary. Check with NZTA if you think
your property could be affected by road
changes.
Like all property purchases, buying a place
in the country requires careful, objective
consideration.
“There are lots of great things about
living on the land, but it’s best to be realistic
about it. You don’t want to be like the
former townie I met a few weeks ago, who
mournfully told me that their lifestyle
block had become “a life sentence”. Do your
homework and you’re far more likely to live
happily ever after in rural bliss.”

home's heat pump provides comfort for all seasons. Outside is private and sheltered and might I add low maintenance! With
a shed for the tools and a BBQ area as well, life at 38 Granite Drive could be exactly what you were looking for. Don't miss out
on this little beauty, a viewing will not disappoint.

Rolleston 89 Strauss Drive
Stylish and roomy In Devon Park.
Exuding Street appeal with its smart looking timber and brick exterior 89 Strauss Drive keeps impressing once you take a step
inside the door of this roomy 235m2 four bedroom family home. The hallway with its sensor lighting creates a safe passage to
the spacious bedrooms along with the separate laundry/washing room and toilet. The master bedroom has its own ensuite
plus walk-in robe. All bedrooms have ample storage space as does the hallway. With 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, this home is
certainly built with a family in mind. The large open plan kitchen/dining area with its seamless indoor/outdoor flow is however
the Real Hero of this property. The moment you walk into this room you immediately feel relaxed and right at home. Out the
sliding door to the massive Kwila deck and you quickly sense that this property is perfectly set up for genuine entertainment
options all year round especially with its automated louver roof above that simply takes the weather out of play. With an
internal 2 car garage and some on point gardens it's hard not to be wowed!! But wait there is still more on offer here!! Try an
Art Studio in the backyard with power as your own private hideaway.

Weedons 1/81 Wild Road
Beautiful Character Home In A Private Lifestyle Setting
This striking 3-bedroom home is situated down a long driveway with shelterbelts that provide a natural privacy for the
homestead. As you approach the house the beautiful gardens and luscious lawn immediately catch your eye. Gardens fit for a
wedding party! The relocated and modernised home with striking ceiling roses creates an ambiance of times gone by. A
conservatory is cleverly used as one of the main entranceways to the open-plan kitchen/dining area. Once inside a split level
takes you into an extra lounge area that is warm and inviting. Both bathrooms have been updated ( one of which has a spa
bath ), re-plumbed, and rewired, and the kitchen has also been modernised with great use of storage and bench space. The
home has three double bedrooms plus a study all with good storage and great decor throughout. All rooms except the
conservatory are double-glazed. The heat sources in the home are the log burner in the lounge and a heat pump in the dining
area. With insulation throughout, the home is kept nice and warm. The weatherboards on the south side have all been
replaced 2 years ago. Outside there is a wonderful entertainment area built round the fire pit.

Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections
in the Selwyn District
First home buyers can
afford brand new
First home buyers can get an amazing idea
of what an affordable brand new home could
look like at one of the three Golden Homes
show homes in Rolleston. The 137 metre2
on the corner of Kate Sheppard Drive and
Avanda Avenue in Acland Park boasts three
substantial bedrooms while the master even
has room for an ensuite and walk in robe.
First home buyers will be surprised at
the spaciousness and quality of the home
with the assistance of professional designers
Nextdore and the kitchen is the result of
Trends Kitchens’ well-known expertise.
“Both these companies are at the top of
their game and our new home clients have
access to all their skills and expertise when
designing their home,” says Golden Homes
sales consultant Michelle Anderson.
“Our buyers can go their show rooms with
the full selection of options and can then be
offered a range of materials and designs to
suit their budget.”
The simplicity of the design makes the
home seem more spacious and the black
blinds add to the crisp clean look. A clever
wall-papered feature wall which doubles
as the laundry and storage. All the home’s
windows are double glazed and feature
lightweight steel frame.
A major advantage of choosing Golden
Homes, says Michelle, is that the company
works with the client from the very
beginning, even recommending a mortgage
broker to help with the finances.
“We pride ourselves on looking after our
client from the initial consultation with
the design consultant through to the hand
over to the construction supervisor – there’s
someone there every step of the way.”
As Golden Homes is a large company
there are also savings to be made in terms
of keeping costs down and making sure
the build is within the client’s budget, says
Michelle.
The other two Golden Homes show homes
in Rolleston feature an example of their
medium price range at 45 Lanner Drive and
the top of the range at 580 East Maddisons
Drive.
Opening hours are different. The Lanner
Drive home is open from 12pm until 4pm
Wednesdays to Sundays while Avanda
Avenue and East Maddisons Drive are open
during the weekends only from 12pm until
4pm.
