‘Library’ likely to get
thumbs down today
• By Susan Sandys
ROLLESTON residents fighting
to have the word library
included in Te Ara Ātea signage
appear to have lost their battle.
A district council staff report
scheduled to be discussed by
councillors today rejects the
suggestion by the Rolleston
Residents Association the word
library should be added to the
building because people did not
know that’s where the town’s
library is.
“The increased number
of visits to this new facility
suggests this is not a significant
issue,” said district council head
of community strategy and
policy Nicola Sutton.
There had been 171,673 visits
to Te Ara Ātea in its first year
of operation, which was 91 per
cent more visits than
the previous smaller
library the facility replaced
in 2021.
The issue of the whether
the word library should be
on the building has been a
major polarising point in the
community with many writing
to the Selwyn Times during the
debate with their opinions.
However, Sutton
acknowledged signage could be
improved to help people find
their way to the building.

Wednesday May 10 2023 Selwyn Times
• By Barry Clarke and Daniel
Alvey
POLICE APPEAR to have hit
a snag in their bid to make
an arrest in two high-profile
burglaries in the district.
The Selwyn Times can reveal
police have identified who
they believe is the offender
and spoken to him – but he is
denying any involvement.
The burglaries relate to one
in Burnham in early March
where the elderly home owner
surprised the offender and
scuffled with him; and the other
in Tai Tapu on Boxing Day.
The offender, tattooed and
believed to be in his 50s, fled the
Burnham scene in a distinctive
white Mercedes Sprinter camper
van. The same vehicle was used
in the Tai Tapu burglary. It was
caught on CCTV leaving the
scene. The homeowner’s vehicle
was also stolen, meaning there
was more than one offender at
that burglary.
The van involved in the
burglaries has been sighted
numerous times at a social
housing unit in Woolston.
Police continue to say little
about the investigations, other
than: “Inquiries are ongoing.”
But the Selwyn Times can
reveal the suspect is well known
to police and is associated
with a person connected to the
white Mercedes. The Burnham
victim said last month he was
frustrated by the lack of police
progress. Since then, he has
undergone a formal process of
trying to identify the offender
from mugshots. Earlier he had
been shown a mugshot of a
suspect during a chance meeting
with a police officer at Rolleston
BP.
The victim told the Selwyn
Times he did not know if an

CLUES: CCTV footage captures the Mercedes van leaving the break-in in Tai Tapu, while
(inset) the victim of the Burnham burglary managed to photograph the vehicle outside
his property.
Up and Go drink he believes
was left by the offender when
he surprised him in his home
had been forensically-tested by
police.
The victim said he found the
drink container after police left
his home following the break-in.
It was not his so could only
have been left behind by the burglars
when he surprised him.
He said he put it in a plastic
bag and put it in the fridge
until police picked it up. He was
hopeful a DNA test on the drink
container might connect it to the
suspect if the offender was on
the police database.
But the victim said he was told
cost could be a factor in whether
the container was tested or not.
Police would not answer
specific questions from the
Selwyn Times about the Up and
Go drink and whether it had or
would be forensically-tested.

In Brief
20 DAYS TO GET LAND
INFORMATION REPORTS
The district council is taking up
to 20 days to process land information
memorandum reports
due to staff shortages. District
council chief information officer
Trish Baird said a combination of
staff shortages due to illness and
time to train staff have caused the
delays. A real estate agent told the
Selwyn Times the delays are causing
major headaches for buyers,
sellers and real estate agents who
request information held by the
district council about a property.
ABANDONED CAR FIRE
AT CASTLE HILL
Fire crews from Sheffield and
Springfield were called to an
abandoned car fire on Sunday at
Castle Hill Village. Sheffield chief
fire officer Neville Croy said the
car was still on fire when crews arrived
at 9pm. He said the car had
been abandoned for about three
days and the cause of the fire was
not known.
POOL CLOSURE ON
THE CARDS
District councillors will consider
closing Sheffield Pool at the
community services committee
meeting today. The alternative
option is to replace it with a
shallower pool, costing up to
$800,000. The closure has been
proposed due to concerns
including the pool’s failing base.

More than 1000 new homes every
• By Daniel Alvey
THE SELWYN District is
growing faster than predicted, a
new report has revealed.
The report was commissioned
by the district council to assist it
in future decision-making.
In 2022 Selwyn’s population
was 79,000 compared to 27,600
in 2000, a growth of 4.9 per cent
per annum. This makes it the
second highest growing district
in New Zealand, behind the
Queenstown-Lakes District.
Statistics New Zealand December
2022 population projections
indicate the district will cross
100,000 by 2029 and will reach
almost 150,000 by 2053 – compared
to 137,000 in the 2018 high
projection.
To help fill this demand the
report has outlined how many
houses will need to be built in the
short-to-medium term (10 years)
and in the long term (30 years).
In the short-to-medium term,
it is estimated there will need to
be 12,547 new dwellings, at a rate
of 1255 a year. In the long term,
it is estimated there is a need for
32,763 new dwellings, at a rate of
1092 a year.
The report outlines the shortto-medium
term needs are met,
with a feasible supply of 16,249.
But there is estimated to be a
shortage of 2753 houses in the

long term.
To assist with some of
the demand, areas in the
district’s three largest
towns have been allocated
medium density
housing zones (up to
three stories), a requirement
of being in a tier
one council area. While
Sam
Broughton
these areas are
zoned medium
density, there is
no requirement
to build to this
specification.
Mayor Sam
Broughton said
the busier towns
and intensification
Brendan
Shefford
are issues he gets a lot
of feedback on from the
community.
“Some of that is really
positive because it has
bought new amenities for
towns. But some people
may think they need to
go somewhere that is a bit
quieter, there has been a
full spectrum of views.”
Ray White real estate agent
Brendan Shefford said people
would buy the medium density
housing, because it would be
more affordable.
“Originally people would move
to Selwyn for the bigger section,
but not everyone wants a 750m2
section now,” Shefford said.
“You can pick up a threebedroom,
two-bathroom
townhouse for $500,000 -
$600,000 now.”
Shefford believed the number
of houses required could be
built if some of the regulatory
processes were streamlined by
the Government and the district
council.
“They’ve got the land for them,
they now have to drop the red
tape to get the land developed.”
What does all this growth
mean for community
services
Infrastructure Implications
To go along with the population
and housing growth, the
district’s infrastructure also has
to keep up.
Broughton said that is one of
the key reasons why these reports
are done to ensure the district
council doesn’t “get caught short”
on the needs within the district.

DEMAND: Said Mayor Sam Broughton: ‘The Rolleston to
Christchurch route is one of the highest used in the city.’
He said an example of the
infrastructure is the modular
design of the Rolleston
wastewater treatment plant,
originally designed to service
60,000 people now being
upgraded to service 120,000
people.
There will also be increased
demand on other community
services like health and
education.
Broughton said the district
council works with Government
and private organisations to
ensure that non-council services
are sufficient, available and up to
standard.
Public Transport Implications
The district will also need to
focus on connecting people.
Broughton said his last
six years of Environment
Canterbury’s annual plan
submissions have focused on the
public transport system.
“The Rolleston to Christchurch
route is one of the highest used in
the city,” he said.
There are plans for a light rail
to be connected to Hornby with a
park-and-ride set-up. Broughton
said when the time comes he
would like to see Rolleston
connected up to at as well.
What is going on where
you live
The Rolleston situation
Rolleston remains the largest
town in the district and is
estimated to grow by 181 per cent
in the next 30 years. To meet
the demand it is being proposed
that all residential zones within
the existing greenfield areas
be changed to medium density
housing zones.
“This is an immense change in
the planning framework, with
total plan enabled capacity now
estimated to be around 69,330
new dwellings or around seven
times the existing number of
dwellings in the town,” the report
states.
In the medium-short term, it
is expected 6980 new dwellings
will need to be built, and 18,230
will need to be built in the long
term. It is estimated there will
be a small deficiency in the short
term of 450 dwellings and a
larger deficiency in the long term
of 3330 dwellings. The long-term
deficiency won’t occur until 2047,
but it should be monitored.
The Lincoln situation
Lincoln is the second largest
town in the district and is
estimated to grow by 174 per
cent. Like Rolleston, it is being
proposed all residential zones
within the existing greenfield
areas be changed to medium
density housing.
“Total plan enabled capacity
(is) now estimated to be around
32,200 new dwellings,” the report
states.
In the short-to-medium term,
it is expected 2510 new dwellings
will need to be built, and 6550
will need to be built in the long
term. It is estimated there will be
a deficiency in the long term of
1130 dwellings.
The Prebbleton situation
As the third largest town in
the district and the closest to the
edge of Christchurch Prebbleton
is also expecting a demand, but
less than Rolleston or Lincoln,
growing by 62 per cent in the
long term.
In total, the demand
projections suggest there is
a need for around 420 new
dwellings in the coming decade
and 1100 in the long term. It
is projected there will be
sufficient supply to meet these
demands.
Smaller parts of the district
While the main growth is
expected in Rolleston, Lincoln
and Prebbleton, the effects will
also be felt further out in the
district. Along with current
private plan changes the district
council is looking at other
growth areas.
• West Melton: Two sites
totalling 16ha on Weedons Ross
Rd, which is surrounded by
existing development Wilfield,
will be available in the long term

The “solution” was advertising
the library and other services
within Te Ara Ātea, by adding
internationally recognised
symbols at the doors, and 24/7
digital signage of the services
and activities in windows on the
Tennyson St frontage.
Rolleston Residents Association
vice chair Jens Christensen
said the staff report was a disappointment,
as it did not guarantee
prominent display of the
word library and did not show
what the signage would look
like. And, in presenting a single
solution, it did not give opportunity
for input from district
councillors.
“I think they should have been
presented with several options,
open for debate, discussion,
then resolution and votes,”
Christensen said.
“It’s not the councillors that
are deciding, but the staff. It’s
the tail wagging the dog.”
Christensen said he hoped to
attend the meeting and speak
at its public forum. He has led
the charge from the association
going back to June last year,
when members were first turned
down by staff in their request to
have the word library added to
the building.

readers, with many voicing their
opinions.
Mayor Sam Broughton rejected
the suggestion councillors
would not be able to have input.
“When any report is presented
to councillors, they have the opportunity
to ask questions, seek
clarification or challenge any
elements of a report,” he said.
Rolleston ward district councilor
Sophie McInnes echoed his
comments. Councillors could
come up with other options to
be discussed and voted on.
The Te Ara Ātea issue is part

Housing density hearing heats up
• By Susan Sandys
SELWYN SHOULD have
the same protection against
the impacts of housing
intensification as Christchurch, a
Lincoln residents’ group has told
hearing commissioners.
But the plea from Lincoln
Voice appears unlikely to be realised,
with hearing panel chair
Rob Van Voorthuysen responding:
“It’s not as straightforward
as just saying ‘please copy what
Christchurch did’.”
The hearing for a variation
to the district council’s District
Plan to allow medium density
residential standards to be introduced
at Lincoln, Rolleston and
Prebbleton got under way last
week. The variation will allow for
up to three units on each section
in relevant residential areas, up
to three storeys high, to be built
without resource consent.
Speaking to the Lincoln Voice
submission, one of 127 received
by the district council, secretary
Denise Carrick applauded the
city council’s modification to
a recession plane rule, which
would reduce the loss of sunlight
on ground floor homes from five
months of the year to three.
“With how the variation currently
stands (in Selwyn), someone
can come along and build a
three-storey building right next
to your boundary and cut out
all the sunlight to your home for
five months of the year,” Carrick
said.
She told the hearing in Rolleston
Christchurch City Council
had also proposed retaining tree
cover via its urban forest plan.
She criticised the district council
for pursuing the variation, while
at the same time priding itself
on being environmentally aware
and acting on climate change.
“In our view there is no logical,
fair or equitable rationale that
justifies why Selwyn households
should be significantly worse off
than households in Christchurch,”
Carrick said.
Van Voorthuysen told Carrick
the panel, which includes commissioners
Raewyn Solomon and
Lindsay Daysh, would have to
ensure it was fulfilling statutory
obligations under the Resource
Management (Enabling Housing
Supply and Other Matters)
Amendment Act.
“We would have to identify, or

told the commissioners.
have identified to us, with proper
reporting, that trees or sunlight
were a qualifying matter that
could appropriately restrict the
medium density residential
standards in this district,” Van
Voorthuysen said.
Such reporting would come
from officers of the district council
or the submitter.
“In particular, they would
need to address those matters in
what is called a section 32 report.
Neither sunlight nor trees were
included as a qualifying matter
in the section 32 report that the
council prepared. So I just wanted
to let you know that it’s not
as straightforward as just saying
‘please copy what Christchurch
did’,” Van Voorthuysen said.
Carrick questioned what the
point of the hearing was when
there were no such qualifying
matters being put forward by the
district council.
“We ask the questions, and we
don’t answer them,” said Van
Voorthuysen, before advising
Carrick to discuss any such
concerns with district council
officers.
Lincoln Voice will address
the panel again in the variation
hearing, which are expected to
run through to mid-June.
Its second appearance will
be to speak to its submission
opposing the inclusion of Plan
Change 69 in the variation.
PC69 is for the controversial
1710-section Lincoln South
development. It is among eight
plan change areas in the district
included in the variation,
for which an additional 31
submissions were received.
Lincoln Voice last year
appealed the district council’s
decision to approve PC69, but its
appeal has been held up in the
Environment Court, pending the
variation hearing.
Following the hearings,
the district council will make
a decision on whether to approve
the variation for the District
Plan and the plan changes,
which must be notified by
August 20. There will be no right
of appeal to the Environment
Court.

Legal Matters
Bank Deposit vs.
Purchase Deposit
The word “deposit” used in
the context of purchasing
property often has two different
meanings.
A bank will require you to fund
part of the purchase price
(usually 20% or more) from your
own savings, First Home Grants,
KiwiSaver withdrawals, gifts from
family etc. The bank may refer
to this as your deposit. But this
is not the same meaning as ‘your
deposit’ when an agent uses that
phrase.
An agent will ask how much
deposit you wish to offer the
Vendors. The most common
deposit is a sum of 10% of the
purchase price. This deposit can
sometimes be negotiated by the
Purchasers to a lower sum. Any
such negotiations should occur
prior to signature of the contract,
so that the amount of deposit
offered to the Vendors is not
more than the cash you have
available at that time to be able
to pay.
The deposit is paid prior to
settlement and usually you can’t
borrow the money from the bank
to pay it (both because the bank
expects you to have 20% of the
purchase price available from
other sources, and because the
bank won’t have a mortgage
over the property until after
settlement).
As purchaser of property, you are
often an unsecured creditor and
the deposit you pay to the vendor
could be at risk. We recommend
caution to purchasers offering to
pay a vendor a deposit of greater
than 10% of the purchase price.
If there is a reasonable period
of time between confirmation
of any conditions in the contract
and the settlement date, the
deposit will often be released to
the vendors. There may be a risk
that they could spend the deposit
monies and be unable to repay
their existing bank debt and
therefore unable to complete
settlement, despite being legally
obliged to do so.
The structure of your deposit,
for both bank and contract
purposes, is just one of the
many reasons we recommend
you talk to us prior to signing
an Agreement for Sale and
Purchase.
Understanding the deposit
required by the bank, and the
deposit to be paid to the
Vendors, is an important part
of the property buying process.
We are locally based and here to
guide you through the process.

Hororata
Glow:
Sellout
crowd
expected
THE HORORATA Glow Festival has sold
out, with almost 11,000 people expected to
attend on Saturday.
Hororata Community Trust executive
officer Cindy Driscoll said the festival is
an immersive experience, with something
magical to discover in every corner.
“We look forward to bringing new
experiences to the festival that will delight
the young and young at heart,” Driscoll
said.
The festival at Hororata Domain is the
only event of its kind in the South Island,
with the trust partnering with Ballooning
Canterbury to stage it.
Hot air balloons will glow rhythmically
to music. As a unique treat, Buster the
British Bulldog (above) will perform as
part of the night glow.
Ballooning Canterbury director and
chief pilot Micheal Oakley said there was a
lot of logistics to get Buster to Hororata.
“We are excited to have Buster coming
to Hororata from the UK. It is the first
time we have had an international special
shape at the event,” Oakley said.
“Before the night glow, people can
walk through a cold inflated balloon
and interact with pilots to learn more
about the art of flying a hot air balloon. I
recommend people get to the event early
to avoid missing out on these experiences.”
Eleven-piece band Capitol City
will be playing following the balloon
performance, and Canterbury
University will have interactive science
demonstrations on site. There will also be
a UV art zone, food stalls, a magical fairy
tree and garden, plus rides on a Noddy
train.
“We have 130 volunteers involved
in making this festival happen, it is
a platform for community groups to
fundraise from and profits will go towards
developing the new Hororata Community
Hub,” Driscoll said.
The festival will be held on Sunday if it is
postponed due to poor weather.

ANOTHER community
committee has raised concerns
before it is disestablished next
month.
As of June 30, the Springston
Community Committee will
be disestablished along with all
other 70 committees across the
district. Chairman
Dr Rupert
Tipples said he is
concerned about
future representation
of the community
without
the committees.
“From then on,
we will have no
official representative
body to make known the
community’s views to council,
or for any other issue affecting
residents,” Tipples said.
Mayor Sam Broughton said
the changes will give community
organisations more freedom
without the district council’s
control. He also said the district
council would still hear any issues
the groups had.
“It is really a change from
being council-controlled and
having to work under the rules of
the council they can work their
own way in the best interests of
the community and what they
want to do, and sometimes that
will be with the council and
sometimes that it will be to speak
against council things and that
wasn’t really a voice they had
before,” Broughton said.
The original district council
constituted Springston Reserve
& Associated Sports Combined
Committee was started in 1997
to manage the land and improvements
at Springston Recreation
Reserve on Ellesmere Junction
Rd.
More recent achievements of
the committee include saving the
Springstion Community Hall
from demolition, new public
toilets, a new playground, and rebuilding
the rugby club pavilion.
Tipples was concerned without
the district council affiliations

the number of volunteers in the
committee would drop away.
“Not only will this change
be a further discouragement of
volunteers, which have been the
backbone of these committees,
but their institutional knowledge
will be lost.”
Tipples said without the volunteers
working alongside district
council staff, those jobs would
have to be done by paid district
council staff, making it more
expensive.
Broughton did not think the
committees would lose any
volunteers because of the change.
He pointed towards the West
Melton Residents Association as
an example of how it could work
well. Broughton said he hasn’t
seen any evidence of extra costs
in areas where the committees
had already been disestablished.
Last month the Lincoln
Community Committee went
through a similar process,
leading to a unanimous vote to
become an incorporated society.
It is proposed that the current
Springston Associated
Sports Committee, which is an
incorporated society, has its title
and constitution amended to
fulfil that role. It would continue
to operate the Sports Bar at
Springston Reserve.
In the proposal, all members
of the Springston community,
or associated Springston sports
clubs can be members of the new
Springston Community and Associated
Sports Committee (Inc).
Tipples said the process would
be streamlined legally by the
sports committee already being
an incorporated society.
A special general meeting is
set to be held next Wednesday at
7.30pm at Errol Tweedy Pavilion
on Springston Reserve to receive
reports on the operations of the
Springston Associated Sports
Committee (Inc) and its finances
and amend its constitution.

Quad bike
thefts, utes
broken into
• By Daniel Alvey
QUAD BIKES are being targeted
in the district. Police said in the
last two weeks, four quad bikes
had been reported as stolen from
farms.
Police were also aware of
three vehicle break-ins over the
past month in Lincoln, where
tools were stolen from a vehicle
parked on the road.
Two of the break-ins occurred
in Te Whāriki subdivision last
Monday near Southfield Dr. On
both occasions, tools were stolen
from work utes. In one of the
break-ins, $15,000 worth of tools
was taken.
A police spokesperson
recommended storing quad
bikes in locked sheds where
possible and taking out keys.
They also said engraving serial
numbers on the bikes or tools
can assist with identification.
• If you have any
information about quad
bike thefts, please contact
police on 105 and reference
file number 230429/1086.
Anyone who witnesses
suspicious activity should
call 111. This could include
drones or unfamiliar

POLICE investigating the death
of a man whose body was found
inside a car have visited his
former address in Rolleston and
interviewed nearby residents as
part of the homicide inquiry.
Richard Leman’s body was
found inside his car, parked in
a garage on Tyler St, Rangiora,
on April 17. Police then began a
homicide inquiry.
It is understood police went
to a block of apartments in
Rolleston on Thursday evening,
speaking to residents, asking
about comings and goings from
Leman’s former flat.
It’s understood Leman moved
in late last year and moved out
about a month before his death.
An agent connected with the
apartment declined to comment,
but said Leman was not on the
lease for the property.
Leman’s former apartment
appeared empty, with residents
declining to comment on Leman.
On Friday, police began
searching a property on Andrew
St, Rangiora. Staff were carrying
out a thorough search of the
property, a short distance from
where Leman was found.
Detective Senior Sergeant
Tania Jellyman said police
were likely to remain there for
“several days”.
Police raided the property in
the days after Leman’s body was
found.
The owner of the property
earlier told the Herald he was
yet to be contacted by police

Road closure
suggestion
‘makes no
sense’
• By Daniel Alvey
A RESIDENT opposed to the
closing of the Perymans Rd
intersection with State Highway
75 in Tai Tapu said a council staff
recommendation makes no sense.
The district council will vote
today on the recommendation
to seal the remaining 500m of
road and close the intersection to
vehicle access.
Nearby resident John Ryan said
the proposal to seal the road is
contradictory.
“There has never been an accident
on that corner, and the locals
use the road regularly.
A total of 39 people responded
to the community consultation.
Of those, 10 opposed the closure,
28 did not have any opposition to
the closure, and one did not state
a view. The report stated the decision
to seal the road had already
been made and the consultation
was specifically focused on the
intersection closure.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency was approached by the
district council in late 2022 for its
views on the closure. The agency
supported the closure and said if
it were to remain open it would
likely require improvements.
21st Annual Selwyn Art Show 2023
Saturday May 27th &
Sunday May 28th 10am-4pm
Rolleston Community Centre
Photo: Kellie Spence
The much anticipated Selwyn Art
Show will be held at the Rolleston
Community Centre on Saturday
27th and Sunday 28th of May this
year. The show includes sculpture,
painting, printmaking, photography,
ceramics and fibre crafts. It will be
the 21st annual art show put on by
the Arts Heart Selwyn Central Arts
Council, and each year the show
grows in size with more artists
exhibiting every year.
Lauren Carmichael is a local Selwyn
artist who is excited to be displaying
her art at the show again this year.
Lauren grew up on a family farm in
rural North Canterbury and after
travelling for a considerable time
has settled in Selwyn where she
owns and manages
Langdale Vineyard
Restaurant.
Local artist,
Lauren
Carmichael
Lauren began her artistic
career by joining the Art West
Studio group in West Melton
tutored by art teacher and
friend Lara Pomroy.
A monster was created and
Lauren has grasped her love
of art in both hands, painting almost
everyday...sometimes just a five
minute doodle or quick sketch. She
firmly believes that anyone can be
an artist...just by practising a skill
over and over you see improvement.
Lauren’s mantra is “Life is a
canvas and it is our duty to paint
it colourful.” This is evidenced in
how she lives her life, her eclectic
colourful home, her clothes and the
dishes she creates when cooking,
but most of all in her vibrant
artworks. Lauren predominately
paints in acrylic. She also uses
mixed media and paints her own
collage materials on paper and
fabric using paints and inks.
Lauren is deeply involved in the
Selwyn art scene. She is a member
of the Selwyn Artists Collective
and finds the monthly meetings
For more information visit: www.artsheart.nz/annual-exhibition
Photo: Kellie Spence
invaluable for making connections,
learning new techniques and
keeping her mind fresh with ideas.
Lauren is also on the committee of
the Darfield art gallery and Creative
Communities Selwyn. She also
finds these roles very inspiring and
connecting.
This year Lauren will be bringing
a selection of her colourful and
vibrant acrylic artworks to share
with visitors to the Selwyn Art Show.
The show will feature more than 75
artists from all over the Canterbury
region, with a large number of local
Selwyn artists represented. The
show is open to the public from
10am to 4pm on Saturday 27th and
Sunday 28th of May at the Rolleston
Community Centre (94 Rolleston
Drive). Art lovers of all ages are
invited to come along and be
inspired by the creativity on display.
Artwork is available for purchase
throughout the weekend and eftpos

CHOICE: Lincoln University student numbers are up 16
per cent from May last year. Domestic student growth has
been particularly strong.
Lincoln University enrolments grow
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
student numbers have increased
again this year, continuing its
strong growth trajectory since
the pre-Covid era.
As of May 1, 3288 students were
enrolled at Lincoln, up 16 per
cent from 2843 at the same time
last year. The university expects
its 2023 enrolments to approach
4000 by the end of the year.
While international student
numbers have returned to 62 per
cent of pre-Covid levels, domestic
growth has been strong since
2019. The number of domestic
students currently enrolled –
2534 – is 57 per cent higher than
in 2019 – 1613.
The Lincoln University halls
of residence are filled to capacity,
including 64 newly refurbished
self-catered units brought onstream
for 2023.
Vice-chancellor
Professor
Grant Edwards
said the strong
growth signals
Lincoln University’s
increasing
Grant
Edwards
influence in
shaping the future
of the landbased
sector in
New Zealand and globally.
“Our world-class education
programmes position our students
to contribute directly and
consequentially to industry when
they enter employment, and our
graduate employment rate of
85 per cent is consistently the
highest of all the New Zealand
universities,” he said.
Contributing to the growth in
student numbers is the university’s
fees waiver scheme.
First introduced in 2020 amid
pandemic-related restrictions,
the scheme has been extended to
cover postgraduate study options
until the end of 2024.
The fee waivers aim to help
meet a growing demand for
experts in the food, fibre, and environment
management sectors,
with the fees-free options including
postgraduate certificates
and diplomas, as well as taught
master’s degrees and the taught
component of research master’s
programmes.
The most popular programmes
for students attending Lincoln
University this year are the
Bachelor of Land and Property
Management and Bachelor of
Commerce (Agriculture).
Programme director for the
Bachelor of Land and Property
Management, Professor Graham
Squires, said the popularity of
the programme reflects New
Zealanders’ high interest in
property matters, in both a personal
and professional capacity.
Professor Squires expects the
growth in domestic student
numbers will soon be matched
by the emerging international
market for real estate/property
studies.
“Skilled practitioners in the
land and property management
sectors will continue to be highly
sought-after and well-rewarded
going into the future, both
nationally and internationally,”
he said.

• By Daniel Alvey
HUNDREDS OF donated
trees that were supposed to
be planted on public land
had to be planted in private
sections due to district
council delays.
The 300 beech trees
were donated by the
Waimakariri Ecological
and Landscape Restoration
Alliance and were to be
planted around Castle Hill
Village to replace some of
the wilding trees.
Alliance chair and
deputy chair of Castle Hill
Community Association,
Ray Goldring, said it was a
BACKYARD CRITTERS
shame the seedlings were
not planted in the reserves
as planned.
“We had already repotted
them once, so they
had to be planted.”
Goldring said the
trees were handed out to
residents in the village to
plant in their backyards
while the district council
finalised its reserve
management plan.
A district council
spokesperson said staff
are currently reviewing
submissions on the plan
and will recommend any
amendments required. The
district council expects
THE TWO-spotted spider
mite Tetranychus urticae is
a species I am very familiar
with as I spent many years
rearing and testing them
for miticide resistance.
They eventually got their
revenge as I became allergic
to them and had to stop
working with spider mites.
These small, oval-shaped
mites are 0.4mm long and
have two obvious dark
spots on its body. Male
mites are smaller and have
tear-drop shaped bodies.
Tetranychus urticae is a
cosmopolitan mite species
and can be a serious pest in
situations where there are
high temperatures. What
makes this pest worse is
that it can feed on at least
200 host plants.
Common hosts include
beans, maize, peppers,
strawberries, pepinos,
tomatoes, eggplants, chilli,
potatoes, apples, stone
fruit, carnations and roses.
In ideal conditions
(about 27 deg C), spider
mites take five to 20 days
to complete their lifecycle.
Many overlapping generations
occur per year and
adult females can lay several
hundred eggs during
their 14 to 28 day life time.
This mite species sucks
the sap out of hosts, causing
plants to lose their
chloroplasts and appear
bleached in the presence
of high mite populations.
Under these high mite
densities webbing is also
obvious and, when plants
deteriorate, mites move to
the highest points on the
plant in their hundreds to
CHANGE:
The
donated
beech trees
had to be
planted
on private
land
instead
of public
reserves at
Castle Hill
Village.
Plan to plant trees on
public land falls over
to formally adopt the
plan within two and four
months.
The spokesperson said
the district council was
aware the seedlings were
waiting to be planted, but
due to time constraints,
the need to find suitable
planting locations at short
notice, and consult with
neighbouring property
owners, a decision was
made to defer the planting.
Goldring and the district
council said they would be
happy to work together in
the future to plant more
native trees in the reserves
around Castle Hill Village.

In the cooler months
with short day length,
mites go into an overwintering,
diapause state
where their metabolism
slows and they take on an
orange-red colour.
The good news is
that several predatory
mites are known in New
Zealand to help control
these problematic pests
and reduce the reliance of
miticides and the incidence
of resistance occurring.

Mural a combined effort
THROUGH THE Creatives in
Schools programme, Lincoln
Primary School has been
able to fund an artist in
residence, Ira Mitchell, to work
alongside pupils, staff and
community
to create a new school mural.
The new mural is located
at one of the entrances to the
school grounds and can be seen
when driving past.
It features native birds and
trees that the school’s learning
spaces are named after, the
school buildings, and natural
elements such as the sun, moon,
wind, mountains and water.
With input from the
community, the word ‘welcome’
or ‘welcome to’ is written in
all of the languages spoken at
school or home by the whānau
of Lincoln Primary.
Mitchell supported the
pupils through the process of
creating the mural by teaching
all of the different skills and
drawing techniques during the
design stage – a highlight for
many children.
She then worked with each
learning space to paint the
mural. Pupils spent hours, with
those who were very passionate
spending some lunchtimes,
painting alongside Mitchell to
complete the mural.
The Creatives in Schools
programme is delivered by
the Ministry of Education, in
partnership with the Ministry
for Culture and Heritage Te
Manatū Taonga, and Creative
New Zealand.
WE HAVE lived in Lincoln
for the past 15 years and seen
it growing, year on year. With
this comes a lot more traffic and
impatience when it comes to
actually stopping at stop signs.
I travel back and forward daily
to Christchurch via Ellesmere Rd
and am seeing blatant abuse of
the stopping rules at the intersections
of Tancreds, Robinsons,
Leadleys, Candys, Edwards,
Ellesmere and Lincoln Tai Tapu
roads.
Motorists treat these as a free
turn without any consideration
to the possible carnage they
could cause.
I had a close call with a white
Suzuki at Tancreds Rd recently,
when the driver turned in front.
He knew he had done wrong
and he gave a wave to say sorry.
It really could of been all over a
second earlier.
The worst seems to be the
Ellesmere/Edwards junction
where left turning traffic towards
Tai Tapu just roll on through.
Peak traffic times need more
attention by the boys in blue.

If two official New Zealand

District plan review reaches a
key milestone
The District Plan Review project has hit an important milestone, with hearings
of all submissions on the Proposed Selwyn District Plan finishing last month.
In total, the Council has covered 38 hearing topics since August 2021.
The Proposed Plan is a ‘rule book’ for what activities property owners can do
as of right (permitted activities) and what activities need a resource consent
for from the Council.
Selwyn lights up to
celebrate coronation
Selwyn sites turned purple and new trees are being added to the landscape as the
district marked the coronation of King Charles III.
Significant landmarks around the country were lit up and commemoration trees
planted as part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s celebration of the coronation.
In Selwyn, the war memorials at Darfield, Lincoln, Tai Tapu and Leeston had their
lights set to purple over the weekend and a ceremonial oak tree is being planted
today as part of a planting day at Kakaha Park.
Mayor Sam Broughton will be joining Prebbleton School pupils who will be
planting over 400 native trees in the park — including one tree which will carry a
plaque noting that it was planted to mark the coronation.
“This is a fantastic community asset and it’s really cool to have the community
involved in literally growing the space. Particularly having the school children being
here to plant these trees to feel part of the park and be able to watch them grow for
a long time into the future and remember the history of it.”
Kakaha Park in Prebbleton is a staged development providing additional recreation
space for the rapidly growing area, with changing rooms, car parking and more
park space opening in the coming months.
Supporting community groups to gain
new skills
Community groups are being supported to get new skills, and the chance to question
and chat with leading experts in a series of workshops this month.
More than 70 people attended a sold-out session on finding funding for community
projects to start the capacity building. Community organisations were able to spend
time talking with major local and national funders about options for finding and
securing funding for community events.
Other workshops in the series will include sessions on chairing a meeting, good
governance, supporting groups to develop strategy and engage in long-term thinking–
and Volunteering 101, for groups looking to attract or support volunteers with ideas
and strategies on how to make the volunteer journey a rewarding experience for all.
This Friday, groups will also have the opportunity to go over the A to Z of running safe
and successful events, with tips, tools and templates to put into practice, along with
the chance to discuss event ideas at the Kia Rite Hoea Workshop.
Together, the series aims to
support community groups
in their work helping make
Selwyn such a special place
to live.
“Community groups make
a huge difference here in
Selwyn and we want to
make sure they’re supported
to keep doing what they do
well. We’ve been really well
supported by some really top
professionals in their fields
and it’s great to be able to
give our groups the access
to that expert advice and to network with other organisations to build on their skills,”
Council Group Manager Community Services and Facilities Denise Kidd says.
To find times and dates and sign up to any of the capacity building workshops visit
selwyn.govt.nz/events.
“It’s been a long journey to get here; the once-in-a-decade makeover of our
district’s rule book has been underway since late 2020 when we first notified
the Proposed District Plan for public consultation”, says Tim Harris, Group
Manager Development and Growth.
“We would like to thank everyone who has at different stages of the review
taken the time to have their say and helped shape the Proposed Plan, which
prepares our district for the future.”
Being a digital plan, it’s now easier for people to find the relevant rules and
information about their property. The Proposed Plan has also changed the
focus from the effects of landowners’ actions on others, to what type of
activities people can undertake.
Initially, the expectation was that the new district plan would be in full effect
by the end of last year. However, the Council was required to make changes
to the Proposed District Plan last year, following the introduction of the new
national legislation by the Government to enable housing supply across the
country. This resulted in the Council notifying a mandatory variation to the
Proposed Plan in August 2022, which introduced new housing intensification
rules, enabling more housing and at greater heights in Rolleston, Lincoln
and Prebbleton.
“This week we’ve started hearings to hear submissions lodged on the
Variation. This is a separate process from Proposed District Plan hearings.
However, given the close timing of both we’ve decided to align the decisionmaking
process and release decisions on both Proposed District Plan and
Variation to it at the same time”, says Tim Harris.
The decisions will be notified prior to 20 August. The Council expects
the Proposed Plan to become fully operative soon after that, subject to
any appeals.

selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview.
Is your home ready for winter?
A home is usually one of the biggest investments a person makes, so it’s good
practice to protect that investment by carrying out regular maintenance.
Below are some simple tips from our building team for looking after
your home.
Ventilation is key to preventing moisture building up inside our homes —
during winter often homes are locked up all day and night, trapping moisture
from cooking, showers, and occupants breathing.
The best way to ventilate your home to prevent the buildup of excess moisture
and refresh the air is to open up all your windows and doors for about half an
hour when you get home. Aim to have cross ventilation by opening doors and
windows on the opposite sides of your home for maximum benefit.
While it may seem a bit cold while you do this, the benefits are priceless —
your home will be drier and warmer and you will be surprised how any thermal
gain stored throughout the day in concrete floors and the like is not lost by
doing this.
As its getting colder, insects and rodents are looking for somewhere warm.
Check the perimeter of your house to ensure any potential entry points
are blocked.
Note for brick veneer claddings weepholes in the brick work are required for
drainage of the cavity, do not block these — if they appear to be wide enough
for a mouse to get in, wire mesh can be formed and secured in the weephole to
prevent vermin entry while still allowing for ventilation and drainage.
While your checking this, also ensure that weepholes are not blocked and clear
out any dirt or most.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Renegade artist,
CREATIVE: Mike Glover with his border collie Fern on the
steps outside his studio.
Springston South artist and environmentalist Mike Glover may have failed art
in school – but now makes a living from his work. The 59-year-old spoke to
Susan Sandys
Have you always worked as an
artist?
I was originally a community
worker for a number of years in
Christchurch. When I moved
out here I still worked part-time,
travelling into Christchurch
then. But then I decided to do
my art full-time. I was ready to
throw myself into my art. I’ve
been doing that since the mid-
1990s.
Is that a leap of faith, leaving
a paying job and throwing
yourself into your art?
Leap of faith or leap of
foolishness if I knew then what
I know now. But you make stuff
up. There’s no template for being
an artist. I’ve been reading some
artist biographies and the twisted
and strange ways people end up
doing what they do as an artist.
So you have had more than 25
years as an artist. Tell me about
your artistic career over that
time?
You can’t write down
‘hysterical laughing’ when you
are (transcribing) this? Trying to
make a living out of art is not the
easiest thing in the world. I’ve
certainly had my ups and downs,
and had some pretty lean years.
It’s a modest income. Last year
was pretty terrible with the cost
of living crisis and inflation, sales
dropped dramatically.
You don’t have any regrets
becoming a full-time artist?
Not really. Probably if I had
my time again I might have done
things differently. My (17-yearold)
daughter is quite arty. I’m
certainly encouraging her with
her art, but I have said to her it
is a hard way to make a living.
In terms of what you do, art is a
great hobby but when you turn
it into a job, it’s a different kettle
of fish.
Did you ever go to art school?
No. In fact I can tell you I
received 35 per cent for bursary
art at St Thomas’ of Canterbury
College. I will have to admit at
the time, form 7, I was a bit over
school probably and I didn’t
commit very much to it.
So you didn’t lose enthusiasm
with that mark?
It kind of kicked the wind out
of me. But my art teacher at the
time, she kind of believed in
me. She said: ‘You have to work
at it’. She instilled in me a sense
that I could do it, that I was a
good artist if I applied myself.
It’s 90 per cent perspiration
being an artist, I think, 10 per
cent inspiration. In fact, I don’t
even like that word inspiration,
you find yourself in a position
(where) you have to create your
own drive. The more you work,
the more you can do.
That’s quite amazing and now
you make a living from your
art.
Well, the art world is a funny
world. There is lots of different
ways you can exist in it. There is
the fine art world, where people
go to university, and then there
is the kind of people like me who
just truck along. You just have to
kind of live on your wits really,
and somehow keep doing what
you want to do and, hopefully,
find an audience who can
support you.
And you have to maximise
what you are doing. I sell
a lot of prints and cards as
well as originals. I have a few
commissions on the go, I’ve
got some galleries wanting new
work, and then I do tutoring.
I have worked at the Down by
the Liffey Gallery in Lincoln
as an exhibition organiser. It’s
all sorts of different areas that
you can use that experience and
knowledge to make a living out
of what you do.
Styles may differ to images shown.
Open 10am–5pm, 7 days

green activist and musician
What did you do when you
left school?
I went to university and got a
degree in political science. The
reason I went to university to do
that was when I was 18 I went
with my sister and her husband
to the United States to look after
my niece. They kind of let me
loose on the United States and
I ended up travelling around by
myself, way out of my comfort
zone. I was young and naive
really. Basically, I thought I could
go anywhere and do anything
and found out America was
incredibly fractured, literally.
What’s that saying: Born on the
wrong side of the tracks.
Can you explain more about
that?
I was in Washington DC on
this very white middle class
street with shops and people,
and I walked down the road
and I walked underneath
an elevated railway line. The
street immediately changed
into this kind of like war zone
with broken looking buildings,
windows boarded up, people
living in cardboard boxes. It
was literally the other side of the
tacks. I just kept bumping into
those sort of situations. I wanted
to work out why America was
the way it was, and I thought
political science would have
some interesting papers about
the world and how it works
Can you tell me about your
artwork?
The medium I got into is soft
pastels, which is not regarded as
highly as some other mediums,
and it can be quite difficult for
a lot of people. But I seem to
have mastered it reasonably well
and have got a particular style.
It’s quite tactile because you
are using your fingers, it sort
of throws you back into being
a bit of a kid really. Pastels are
basically like a chalk, a dusty
chalk. You are creating this
painting out of dust really, there’s
something about that I really
like.
What sort of things do you
paint?
I love landscape painting. I
call them modern landscapes.
Simplified modern landscapes.
I’m not really into detailed stuff.
I like the drama of light and
dark and depth in a painting. A
lot of my work, I only recently
discovered this, it is from an
aerial perspective, I am like
a drone looking down on a
landscape. So all the hills and
everything spread out in layers
in front of you, you get that
sense of depth. I love being taken
into a space by a painting. I
love braided rivers, which are a
real Canterbury feature. I paint
PROTEST: Mike Glover in his studio, where he creates his
art and painted this sign which he placed near the Selwyn
River after a ‘no swimming’ sign was put up.
a lot of birds in my paintings.
I’ve painted stylised bodies
lying in amongst the hills. I like
playing around with faces in the
landscape. It’s about how integral
we are with the landscape.
We are basically part of the
landscape whether we like it or
not. How we live amongst it and
affect the landscape, that kind of
holistic approach to how we are
in the earth.
That leads into your
environmental work. Can you
tell me about that?
I’ve always had an interest in
environmental aspects. It was
about 2015 I got a bit more out
there with it. We live close to
the Selwyn River. Signs went up
saying ‘no swimming’, because
of the toxic algae in the river.
It was just before Christmas
and that’s when lots of kids go
swimming. My daughter, she
loves swimming. I just felt so
angry, they had put this sign up.
I went and painted and put up a
sign of my own. It was basically a
spoof, saying ‘Merry Christmas
from Selwyn District Council
and Environment Canterbury.
You can’t swim in the river
and thank you for paying your
rates’. It got a lot of interest. I
started getting calls from other
newspapers, radio and stuff.

ARTISTIC: Mike Glover is
the drummer for a covers
band called Algal Bloom.
Right – Glover travelled
to the United States with
his sister Marie and niece
Laura in 1982. He was
motivated to study political
science after living in
Washington DC.
Putting river health
on centre stage
•From page 29
The river is still sick, but now
I have got interested in nitrates
and drinking water as well.
What are you doing about the
issue of rising nitrates in wells?
Myself, my partner Helen and a
couple of other Selwyn residents
have held water testing days
down at the Springston South
Soldiers’ Memorial Hall the last
couple of years. We have come
up with an acronym: SWWIM
– Selwyn Waihora Water
Improvement Mission. Our last
testing day in August, we did 133
water tests. The disturbing thing
about all that, we had one heavily
pregnant woman who, if she
had given birth to the baby and
had to bottle feed it, the water
would have had dangerously
high levels of nitrate for blue
baby syndrome. I think the water
was close to 11mg/l of nitrates,
which is close to the (maximum
allowable value) of 11.3. Luckily,
she went home and found
another old well on the farm,
which was much lower, so she
was able to change her supply,
which not everyone can easily
do. From my own experience in
our own well, the nitrates just
keep creeping up every year.
There doesn’t seem to be really
anybody who is overseeing
what is happening. We seem to
be sleepwalking our way into
a major health and economic
crisis.
What other things are you
involved with?
It’s nice to be involved
with community stuff. I am
chairman of the hall, which
recently celebrated its centenary.
There was a huge turnout for
the official commemoration,
over 150 people, thanks to the
work of the amazing centennial
committee. People stayed on
to view the large historical
collection of photos and articles,
and enjoyed an afternoon tea and
catching up with old friends and
neighbours. And I am in a little
band. We probably hold at least
one community dance at the hall

actually the old Lincoln Library

the gallery is an incorporated

setting up a wee gallery from
scratch, and it has done very well.

Burnham teams to
Selwyn’s premier netballers take to the court for the opening round of the season
tomorrow. But there will be just as much interest in another competition – the
masters grades. Jamie Cuningham reports
FOCUS: Aaliyah Metcalf (Burnham) defends against a
Lincoln shooter in the premier semi-final last season. Right
– Burnham midcourter Ruby Keno look for a teammate to
pass to in their premier final win over Greenpark A.
PREMIER netball will return
with a big clash between two
Burnham sides in the opening
round.
Greenpark and Burnham both
have two teams each in the grade
alongside Broadfield, Halswell
Rugby League, Lincoln and West
Melton.
Defending champions
Burnham A will face Burnham
B in the first of four games at the
Selwyn Sports Centre.
Burnham A claimed the
premier title last season with a
54-43 win over an experienced
Greenpark A side.
The bulk of the young titlewinning
team are set to return to
the court this season.
New Zealand secondary
schools’ squad member Aaliyah
Metcalf will be a key player in
Burnham A’s bid to defend their
title.
Denise Keno also returns as
head coach of the top Burnham
side.
Meanwhile, Burnham B will
need a strong performance
against Burnham A if they are
to reach their aim of making the
top four this season. Burnham B
beat West Melton in the seventh
place play-off last season.
Greenpark A will play a
young Halswell Rugby League
side tomorrow. Halswell were
promoted to the premier division
after a strong showing at grading
day.
Halswell’s opening game
is expected to be a challenge
against the experienced
Greenpark side.
Lincoln, who are coached by
experienced duo Sandy Taylor
and Dawn Dalley, play Broadfield
in the opening round. Lincoln
are aiming to make it all the
way to the final after losing to
eventual champions Burnham
A 54-38 in the semi-final last
season.
West Melton play Greenpark B,
with both teams vying to prove
themselves as strong contenders
early in the season.
West Melton finished last
in the grade following the
championship round last year
while Greenpark B lost to the
club’s A team 50-38 in the semifinals.

trade salvos; masters’ grades boom
A RECORD number of masters
teams will take to the court
at the Selwyn Netball Centre
tomorrow night.
The grade for competitive,
mature players was established
about eight years ago.
With the masters’ competition
increasing from 16 to 19 teams
this season, Selwyn Netball
added a third grade and raised
the qualification age from 18
to 25.
Centre
manager Tash
Dillon said many
of the masters’
grade players
are mothers
who volunteer
for their clubs,
often coaching,
Tash Dillon
umpiring and giving up their
time to be on committees.
“The masters 1 grade is also
very competitive,” she said.
“These are ex-premier players
that still want to play at a slightly
slower pace but a smarter game,
and not having to keep up with
the young players in our premier
1 grade.”
Greenpark’s Tracey Dulieu
competed in premier grades
for more than 20 years but now
plays in the masters’ grade.
“The grade is fun but also has a
competitive element,” she said.
“Without this competition
many awesome players would be
lost due to having kids that play
sport on Saturdays or players
that work weekends.”
The first-ever grading night
for masters’ teams took place
last week. Ellesmere, Greenpark,
Halswell Rugby League,
Malvern, Prebbleton, Springston
and West Melton will contest the
top masters grade with Halswell
set to defend their title.
The teams play at similar
times to the premier teams on
Thursday night, but with three
rounds from 6-9.30pm.
Dillon said the decision to

expand the masters’ grades was
difficult due to the allocation of
space and time at the Selwyn
Sports Centre, which is only able
to accommodate 16 teams at a
time on its eight courts.
“However, our strong
community presence shone
through and we decided that
we are not a community that

make it possible for all 19 teams
to be involved in our masters

Struggling combined side face
huge task against Prebbleton
• By Jaime Cunningham
UNDER THE pump
Lincoln-Rolleston face a big
challenge when they take on
a strong Prebbleton side on
Saturday.
The newly-combined team
have been struggling in the
Luisetti Seeds Combined
Country competition due to
a lack of players and several
injuries.
Lincoln-Rolleston had just
three reserves on the bench
during their loss to Oxford at
the weekend. They managed to
claw their way back from 21-14
at halftime to 33-33 in the 80th
minute. But Oxford
converted a late try
to win the game
40-33.
Said coach Bevan
Sisson: “Oxford
Bevan
played really well.
“They were fired up
for their club day and
Sisson
really pumped up, while we had
five players that hadn’t played in
the team before.”
Prebbleton go into the match
leading pool A after beating
Rakaia at the weekend and
following Saracens’ first defeat
against Kaiapoi at the weekend.
Several Lincoln-Rolleston
players who made their debut
against Oxford were from
Lincoln’s division 2 side. The
division 2 team had the week off
for duck-shooting.
Sisson said the number of
available players will continue
to be an issue for the combined
team, as the division 2 side
does not often play at the same
ground.
Lincoln-Rolleston have two
players out with concussion
and three sidelined with broken
bones. Sisson hopes to see a
couple return to the side for their
round 6 clash with Prebbleton.
The result also counts towards
the Ellesmere competition,
which continues following
TARGET: Lincoln-Rolleston face in-form Prebbleton on Saturday on the back of their
fourth successive defeat after Oxford scored in the 80th minute to beat them 40-33.

the final of the combined
competition. Sisson said even
getting bonus points against
Prebbleton will be a positive step
for Lincoln-Rolleston, who are
yet to win a game since their 19-
14 round 1 win over Darfield.
“We just need to control what
we can control,” Sisson said.
“[Prebbleton] are a really good
side and you want to play those
tough games.
“It’ll just be about winning our
ball, winning our scrum and our
lineouts.”
There will be plenty to play for
at Foster Park, with Rolleston
holding their first club day of the
season on Saturday.
“We just need to relax and
enjoy it a bit more, the guys are
trying really hard,” Sisson said.
“We just need to focus on
staying in the hunt.”
In other pool A games,
Darfield managed to record their
third win of the season, beating
Waihora through to round 2
of under-85kg national cup
• By Jaime Cunningham
WAIHORA HAVE progressed
to the next round of the under-
85kg national club cup after a
strong win over Linwood.
Waihora, one of two
Ellesmere teams in the cup,
beat Linwood 32-24. The
experienced Waihora side
included five players from
the club’s division 1 team.
Prebbleton failed to challenge
High School Old Boys, losing
55-5.
Teams from across New
Zealand contest the national
club weight-restricted title,
which starts with knockout
matches for each region before
the national quarters, semis
and final take place later this
year. Just four teams from
the greater Christchurch area
are challenging for the cup,
along with four other South
Island sides in the 54-team
competition.
Waihora take on HSOB in
round 2 in June.
The winner will then
play off for a place in the
quarter-finals.
Hornby 40-17, and now sit fifth
on the table. The Coleman
Shield-holders take on Oxford
at Darfield Domain in round 6,
while Hornby will be searching
for a second win when they take
on Southern.
Waihora further cemented
second spot in pool B with a 64-
14 thumping of Springston who
are still to win a game.
Springston face unbeaten
Ashburton Celtic on Saturday,
while Waihora play winless
Woodend at Gladstone Domain.
After a poor first half,
Southbridge could never bounce
back from their 26-5 halftime
deficit against Glenmark-
Cheviot, losing 38-24.
West Melton went down 42-26
to Ohoka, and will have to win
all their remaining games to
have a chance at making the
semi-finals of the competition.
West Melton face Southbridge on
Saturday.
Round six results:
•Pool A: Darfield 40,
Hornby 17; Prebbleton
54, Rakaia 14; Kaiapoi

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Make the most of early winter with soil
Temperatures are
dropping and days are
shorter – signs early
winter is here. There are
many tasks that need
to be completed before
the cold, wet months
arrive.
Vegetable garden
Harvest beetroot, broccoli,
cabbage, carrots, celery, leeks,
lettuce, onions, potatoes,
radishes, silver beet and spinach.
All winter vegetable planting
should be completed this month.
Remember that winter vegetables
need full light and shelter from
cold wind.
Soil preparation by adding
organic matter such as compost
is very important. It adds
nutrients and opens up the soil,
so it is free draining for the rainy
months ahead. Do this before
planting, by deep digging, adding
compost, and working the soil.
Something to consider is
improving the vegetable garden
by having raised beds. Not only
do raised beds ensure better
drainage and increased soil
warmth, they also enable the
gardener to add a layer of clean
soil and/or compost each year to
improve productivity.
Vegetables to plant in the
garden now include broccoli,
broad beans, cabbage,
cauliflower, lettuce, onions,
radish, silverbeet and spinach.
To shelter the vegetable plot
from wind, look at shelter made
of manuka scrub, pine branches
or commercial wind-break
netting.
If you have hedges, trim them
now to remain tidy for the next
six months. Do not cut those
from conifer and cypress families
too severely, or whole sections
will die back.
Flowering annuals
An ideal month for planting
winter and spring flowering
annuals, soil preparation is the
same as for vegetable plants –
always remember the better
the preparation, the better the
display of flowers.
Winter flowering annuals to
plant include alyssum, cineraria,
cornflower, lobelia, lupins,
nemesia, pansies, primulas,
snapdragons, stock, sweet
william, violas and wallflowers.
Flowering perennials
When perennial plants become
overcrowded, they tend to
produce lower quality blooms
and have stunted growth. This
is the final month to divide and
replant clumps of perennials
while they are dormant, and the
garden is not overly wet. This
will ensure optimal growth and
blooming next season.
Strawberries
Time to plant out the
strawberry patch. Remember,
you can never have too many
strawberry plants, especially
if you have a young family. If
you potted up runners (baby
strawberry plants) in March, now
is the time to plant them in their
final spot so they can establish
themselves before spring.
To prepare the soil for planting,
add compost and raise mounds
about 150-200mm above the
existing soil level. The mounds
will warm up more quickly
in spring and encourage early
fruit cropping. If possible, angle
the mounds in a North-South

GARDENING 39
preparation, planting and harvesting
Fruit trees and vines
All stone fruit trees, including
apricots, peaches, nectarines
and plums should now be
pruned and finished with a
spray with oxychloride to help
protect against possible bacterial
infections.
Hold pruning apple and pear
trees, especially late fruiting
varieties, until late May or
sometime in June.
New season’s pip and stone
fruit trees will begin to arrive at
garden centres in late May. Look
for trees with a straight stem
and a thick base which indicates
it is well established and check
for any obvious signs of pests or
disease.
Kiwifruit are also ripening
and should be picked when still
hard.
Tomatoes
In the glasshouse, remove most
of the leaves from tomato plants
to divert plant foods up from the
roots into the fruit.
Alternatively, cut off a portion
of stem with the fruit attached
and hang in a warm place to
ripen.
Plants can be pulled up to give
the soil a rest.
Mustard or oat seeds can be
sown in the greenhouse and dug
in later.
FRUIT: Pip and stone fruit like apples, pears, peaches and nectarines can be planted this
month. Hold pruning trees until late May or June. Inset – ripening kiwifruit should be picked
when still hard.
PHOTOS: DALTONS
Roses
While most rose varieties
have finished flowering, pruning
is best left until June. In the
meantime, spray plants with
copper oxychloride to reduce the
carryover of diseases into the
next season. Adding compost
around existing rose plants
will significantly improve plant
growth in spring.
Ornamental trees and
shrubs
It’s the perfect time for
planting ornamental trees and
shrubs before soils become
excessively wet.
Plan what you will plant
carefully and check plant labels
to avoid overcrowding later
on, as ornamental trees and
plants can vary greatly in size
and each species has different
requirements for space,
sunlight and water.
House plants
Houseplant care over winter
includes reducing watering,
removing dead leaves, regularly
misting foliage (leaves), and
ensuring they receive enough
light.
Keep houseplants away from
direct contact with open fires
and heaters because they can
suffer from heat stress or even
become scorched or burned.

Get your Warrant
of Fitness locally
Getting a Warrant of Fitness (WoF) is often left
to the last minute, so having Jones Road Auto at
Iport Drive available locally saves you the time and
effort of driving elsewhere. With their reputation for
fantastic customer service, you can rest assured your
WOF check meets national standards and won’t be
inflated with unnecessary extras. They also provide a
WoF while-you-wait lane or a booked service, or you
can leave your vehicle with them for the day.
In New Zealand, a WoF is a regular check to
ensure your vehicle meets the required safety
standards. It is illegal to drive your car if it does
not meet the WoF requirements, and you must
have a valid WoF label displayed. Waka Kotahi NZ
Transport Agency advises it will depend on the age
of your vehicle and when it was first registered to
how long your WoF will be issued. Generally, cars
older than two years and first registered anywhere
worldwide on or after 1 January 2000 will require a
WoF every 12 months.
What will a WoF inspection cover?
• Tyre condition (including tread depth)
• brake operation
• structural condition (rust is not allowed in
certain areas)
• lights
• glazing (is your windscreen safe?)
• windscreen washers and wipers
• doors (do they open and close safely?)
• safety belts (must not be damaged or overly faded;
buckles must work properly)
• airbags (if fitted)
• speedometer (must be working)
• steering and suspension (must be safe and secure)
• exhaust (there must be no leaks, and the exhaust
must not be smoky or louder than the original
exhaust system)
• fuel system (there must be no leaks)
What doesn’t the inspection cover?
• Engine, clutch, gearbox and differential condition
• lubricant levels and condition
• brake pad thickness or life expectancy, unless they
are visibly below safe limits
• paint work condition and some rust in nonstructural
areas.
Don’t risk your safety and those around you.
Ensure your vehicle meets the required WoF
standard by visiting Nigel, Lisa, and the Jones
Road Auto team, 131 Iport Drive, Rolleston, and
friendly service and quality work you can trust.

Skoda SUV packs powerful punch
THERE OFTEN comes a point in
time when you know the mode of
transport at any given time isn’t fit
for purpose.
That happened to my wife and
I just recently as our old sedan
made way for a sport utility vehicle.
The latter providing us with the
entry and egress comfort we need
as our hips give way to old age,
notwithstanding modern engines
are far more fuel efficient than our
car that was designed over 20 years
ago.
Of course, being the petrolhead
I am, I would have liked to
have purchased something with
a bit more punch from under the
bonnet, but in terms of cost I had
to be realistic about that.
Had funds been available, we
may well have purchased a Skoda
Kodiaq – the RS version. It has
all of the comfort ingredients we
were looking for in an SUV, but
under the bonnet sits the 2-litre
turbocharged engine that has
found its way through a raft of
Skoda, Seat, Cupra and Volkswagen
product, notably the VW Golf GTi.
The Kodiaq RS isn’t quite as
gutsy as Volkswagen’s Tiguan R,
but it does have much the same
engine, albeit with lower power
outputs. Saying that, at 180kW and
370Nm the Kodiaq RS does have
48kW and 50Nm greater than the
2-litre TSi version I evaluated in
these columns in August.
The Kodiaq RS also benefits
from a recent facelift amongst the
six-variant series, it also gets a high
fitment package that extends to
satellite navigation, paddle-shifters,
panoramic sunroof, keyless
entry and ignition, electric seat
adjustment, seat heaters and a host
of other minor features.
Skoda’s marketing slogan is
‘simply clever,’ and over the years
I’ve mentioned many times the little
niceties that make the brand stand
out from others. In the Kodaiq RS
it was the plastic wheel trims that
sit inside the actual alloy wheel
itself, they can be removed to give
the vehicle a completely different
look. It’s the first time I’ve seen that
arrangement and, yes, it is clever.
Those features don’t come at5
a huge cost; sure, at $79,990 the
range-topping RS will stretch some
buyers’ budgets, but the entire
Kodiaq range is there to lure buyers
who want quality product at an
affordable price. The entry level
model lists at $48,990, while those
in the medium grades sit in the
$60,000 bracket.
Of course, all models have the
benefit of space, that is the way
it is with the modern SUV, and
the Kodiaq RS is no exception,
there’s even seven seats, although
the two rear seats that fold up out
of the cargo section are really just
for children or those very slight of
build.
CLEVER: The plastic wheel inserts can be removed to offer
a different look.
SKODA KODIAQ RS: High performance from Volkswagen Golf GTi engine.
As with all VW Group models
the Kodiaq RS is quality-built
and comfortable, there is space to
spread out in, and the remaining
seats are beautifully formed so that
fatigue on a long journey is kept to
a minimum.
I took the test car on a long
inland journey through to the
Malvern Hills and it felt just so
balanced and controlled on that
journey, the hills and bends were
simply swallowed up with ease.
A lot of that has to do with the
way the suspension has been set up.
Of course, drive is sent to all four
wheels which means there’s a fully
independent system underneath.
The spring and damper rates
are firmed slightly, but there is
compliance within that so occupant
comfort isn’t jeopardised.
It’s important to have balance
underneath when you have healthy
power outputs up front. The 2-litre
turbocharged engine is a feisty
unit and, as I’ve alluded to, it’s an
engine that has found its way into
hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
I’ve never found a car that hasn’t
thrilled me when fitted with the
GTi engine, and in the Kodaiq RS it
is another exciting product.
In terms of performance it will
accelerate to 100km/h from a
standstill in 6.6sec and will make
a highway overtake in 4.6sec
• Price – Skoda Kodiaq RS,
$79,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4699mm; width,
2087mm; height, 1685mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1984cc, 180kW, 370Nm,
seven-speed direct shift
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.6sec
• Fuel usage – 8.3l/100km
(80-120km/h). On my journey I
passed several slower vehicles and
delighted in the mid-range boost
on tap.
Drive is distributed through a
direct shift gearbox with seven
distinct ratios, by the sheer nature
of its design it is a quick-changing
gearbox that doesn’t put any
unnecessary load on the engine.
That being the case, all of the
horsepower can be utilised for
speed and acceleration when
required. Not only is the engine
a real dynamo, it is one of the
most pleasing in today’s market,
thrilling with its potential and
sound, the automatic downshift
blip reminiscent of a race car on
track.
All that it offers doesn’t come
at the cost of massive fuel usage,
Skoda rates the Kodiaq RS with an
8.3-litre per 100km/h combined
cycle average. During my long
journey the instantaneous figure
sat around 6l/100km at 100km/h
(engine speed 1750rpm) resulting
in a 9l/100km combined figure
when I took the car back to the
dealership.
I particularly enjoyed my time
with the Kodiaq RS, it’s a feisty,
fun SUV that offers a point of
difference in this age where
hybrids and electric vehicles are
commanding that part of the
market.
The Kodiaq RS stands up to
be counted with its honesty and
driveability, it has that fun factor
and serious capability both on-road
and off, although undulating offroad
excursions would be the best
bet. It’s not a serious cross-country
model, but it will take the family
into the high country lakes for that
summer fishing trip and/or the
winter ski field access road with
much ease.
Coincidentally, I dropped
the Kodiaq back and picked up
the Tiguan R two days later. Both
have incredible performance,
it’s just whether you want the
maximum this engine will deliver
or not.

With a name like Smiths City, ordinary is right there in our name. But it’s never been
in our nature. At the first sign of ordinary, we try to do the opposite.
There’s no such thing as an ordinary bed, or an ordinary oven or fridge – and that’s
why we don’t sell ordinary products. If you’re after a Saturday morning trampoline, a
Tuesday-night-tradition-maker, or a local community art gallery, we’re your people.
For ordinary old Smiths, we’re anything but.

Your guide to all things Real Estate
in the Selwyn District
Decorating on a budget –
reuse and recycle
When money is tight there are
simple and budget friendly decorating
ideas that can create an inspiring and
welcoming home.
Before you start worrying about
what you can afford to buy, take the
opportunity to provide a clean slate
for the room you want to update. By
removing dated, worn or damaged
items there will be more space for you
to be creative.
Make the most of the furniture you
do have. A simple way to change the
look of your room without spending
any money is to shift your furniture
around to change the focus and
proportions of the space.
If a new couch is not in your
budget, disguise your dated one
with a slipcover for a fresh new look.
Buying used and pre-loved pieces of
furniture is a great way to save and
you never know what hidden gems
you will stumble upon at a thrift store
or market that will fit in within your
space.
A bookcase or side table can be
given more personality by placing
some of your favourite pieces together
and display in groups. It could be
a cup and saucer that you love or
a photo that just needs a frame.
Wallpaper could be added to the
interior of a bookcase for an eclectic
look. Another option is to stack your
books according to colour or spruce
things up with some new bookends.
An old wooden ladder sitting
in your garage could be your next
favourite décor piece. Clean with
sandpaper and maybe add a coat of
paint, then use it as extra storage or to
house plants inside or outside.
With a little imagination, you can
make a tired side or coffee table feel
brand new. Consider painting the edge
of a simple black piece in gold, for
instance. If you have an old kitchen
chair that no longer fits in with the rest
of your décor, repurpose it as a bedside
table. Again a fresh coat of paint will
make it work in the new setting.
ALTOGETHER

Experience and knowledge
