Grigg says it is Labour’s fault<br />

over high school campus saga<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

SELWYN MP Nicola Grigg<br />

has broken her silence over the<br />

Rolleston College development<br />

controversy, saying it’s the<br />

previous government’s fault.<br />

She also says her no-show at<br />

a community meeting she was<br />

invited to by Rolleston College<br />

principal Rachel Skelton was<br />

because she is on maternity leave.<br />

National MP Grigg went<br />

public on her Facebook page.<br />

“As a colleague said to me<br />

recently, we have inherited<br />

a great, steaming pile of the<br />

proverbial from the Labour<br />

government,” she posted.<br />

The post came days after she<br />

refused to answer questions<br />

from <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> over not<br />

attending the community<br />

meeting and whether she would<br />

promise to get the rebuild on<br />

track given she campaigned in<br />

the lead-up to the election on<br />

the issue.<br />

“I was unable to attend the<br />

recent public meeting at the<br />

college as I am on maternity<br />

leave and evenings are all<br />

but impossible for me at the<br />

moment as I’m sure any parents<br />

of a 10-week-old baby will<br />

understand,” Grigg said on<br />

Facebook.<br />

Grigg’s office said she will be<br />

on maternity leave until midway<br />

through the year.<br />

Skelton told the <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

she understood Grigg not<br />

attending the meeting.<br />

“Nicola called me three times<br />

in the week leading up to the<br />

meeting so I can respect that,”<br />

Skelton said.<br />

The school had invited<br />

Prime Minister Christopher<br />

Luxon, Education Minister<br />

Erica Stanford and Grigg to the<br />

meeting, all of whom declined.<br />

Earlier this month it was<br />

revealed the college would<br />

have stage one of its second<br />

campus pared back by the<br />

Ministry of Education. Skelton<br />

said there was “no appetite” or<br />

commitment to<br />

progress stages<br />

two and three.<br />

Skelton<br />

rebuked Grigg<br />

blaming the<br />

previous<br />

government.<br />

She said it was<br />

Rachel<br />

time for the<br />

Skelton<br />

National-led<br />

coalition to stop blaming its<br />

predecessors.<br />

“Whether the perception is<br />

you’ve inherited an issue or not<br />

it doesn’t matter,” Skelton said.<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE SOUTH Island’s largest<br />

primary school has called for<br />

more safety infrastructure to be<br />

put in when subdivisions are built.<br />

It comes as councillors have<br />

signed off on an interim speed<br />

management plan for lower<br />

speeds around schools.<br />

But for Lemonwood Grove<br />

School principal Blair Dravitski,<br />

the speed around the school is<br />

only part of the problem.<br />

In the plan, 32 schools across<br />

the district will see lower speed<br />

limits at pick-up and drop-off<br />

times. Signs showing the new<br />

speed limits and times will be<br />

placed outside each school.<br />

There is no specific timeline<br />

for when schools will have signs<br />

installed, with the plan still<br />

requiring final sign-off from the<br />

NZ Transport Agency Waka<br />

Kotahi.<br />

Lemonwood has a roll of about<br />

900 pupils and is the third-largest<br />

primary school in the country.<br />

Like many schools in the<br />

district, it has been left waiting<br />

for lower speed limits. The roads<br />

around the school are currently a<br />

mixture of 50 and 60km/h.<br />

Dravitski said a pupil at<br />

the school was recently hit<br />

by a car on his way home,<br />

about 1.5km from the<br />

school.<br />

“We had a child struck<br />

by a car while he was<br />

travelling home from<br />

school, not far from<br />

South Point shops and<br />

he received some oral<br />

and facial injuries which needed<br />

surgery.<br />

“We take our travel to and from<br />

school incredibly seriously.”<br />

While Dravitski was happy to<br />

GROWTH: Lemonwood Grove School principal Blair<br />

Blair<br />

Dravitski<br />

see the council take the<br />

initiative and not wait for<br />

the Government to make<br />

a decision, he said it would<br />

have been much better<br />

if the infrastructure was<br />

there from day zero.<br />

“I feel like the infrastructure<br />

continues to lag<br />

behind the approval of<br />

population growth.<br />

“I feel like the traffic management<br />

team and the consent team<br />

for property development should<br />

be in the same room and tied to<br />

the same consent form.<br />

“All the houses go up<br />

significantly quicker than the<br />

pedestrian crossings or even the<br />

footpaths.”<br />

Dravitski said he would like to<br />

see more pedestrian crossings in<br />

the area.<br />

“Retrofitting stuff although I<br />

appreciate it, the retrofit means<br />

there is a period of time where<br />

the kids do have to navigate their<br />

situation.”<br />

Council road safety advisor<br />

Mike Patterson couldn’t say<br />

whether the pedestrian crossing<br />

should be installed when<br />

developments are built.<br />

“The safest way for children<br />

to cross the road is for them to<br />

be taught correct and consistent<br />

crossing techniques through<br />

home and school by parents and<br />

teachers. Stop, look, listen and<br />

look again,” Patterson said.<br />

‘Funding fit for purpose school<br />

In her Facebook post, Grigg<br />

said: “We need to be very clear<br />

though, the Government has<br />

NOT ordered<br />

the pause or<br />

cessation of any<br />

school building<br />

projects – in fact,<br />

funding fit for<br />

“Since becoming<br />

Grigg<br />

and gaining access to ministries<br />

massive fiscal and infrastructure<br />

deficits left by the previous government<br />

clear.”<br />

Some people commenting on<br />

Grigg’s post did not agree.<br />

“I’m amazed this statement has<br />

taken two weeks to be released.<br />

and blame someone else,” one<br />

person wrote.<br />

“It’s nice to finally have a<br />

response to this huge issue, I’m<br />

sorry but maternity leave . . .<br />

doesn’t justify the long time this<br />

has taken for you to address this<br />

huge issue in our community –<br />

the blame game is more draining<br />

to listen to once again,” another<br />

wrote.<br />

Last week, the school held<br />

a community meeting where<br />

Skelton said emotions ran<br />

high.<br />

“There were some people who<br />

were emotive and upset about<br />

Skelton said.<br />

Head student Mackenzie Wills<br />

broke down at the meeting as she<br />

revealed the impact the school’s<br />

rapidly growing roll was having<br />

on her education.<br />

“I have experienced sitting<br />

in hallways, learning in science<br />

classes for classes that are not<br />

science. I have experienced so<br />

much overcrowding – being<br />

put in small, confined spaces<br />

with 60 learners. It’s not<br />

been an ideal experience,” she<br />

said.<br />

Hut residents: ‘We need to get help’<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

UPPER SELWYN Hut residents<br />

will be seeking further advice<br />

before considering taking on a<br />

fight with the council.<br />

Hut residents packed the public<br />

gallery at the council chambers<br />

last week with some pleading their<br />

case to continue living on the<br />

Crown-owned land indefinitely.<br />

But it did little to change the<br />

minds of councillors. By June 30,<br />

<strong>20</strong>39, all residents will now have to<br />

leave the settlement and remove<br />

all huts and other structures, and<br />

they will have to pay about $1.2<br />

million towards a new $4 million<br />

wastewater pipeline connecting<br />

the huts to the Pines Wastewater<br />

Treatment Plant near Burnham.<br />

On Saturday, residents met<br />

to discuss the next steps for the<br />

group of about 100 residents, with<br />

about 50 at the meeting.<br />

“We need to get help on which<br />

direction we have got to go<br />

now. There are a lot of people in<br />

the same situation with rising<br />

waters throughout New Zealand<br />

and we intend to consult with<br />

them . . . and find out a lot more<br />

information about where we<br />

are heading to,” Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Hut Owners Association chair<br />

Graham Evans said.<br />

The huts were established in<br />

1895 and were originally only<br />

intended to be fishing huts. But<br />

MEETING: Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Hut residents met on Saturday to discuss the next steps the<br />

community will take.<br />

since the 1990s, there has been<br />

a gradual shift to permanent<br />

occupancy.<br />

The impact of climate change<br />

on the area is the main driver<br />

for the council’s decision to<br />

vacate the huts. Modelling shows<br />

high-intensity rainfall and rising<br />

sea and lake levels may put the<br />

settlement at risk.<br />

The original resource consent<br />

for the Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts<br />

wastewater system also officially<br />

expired in <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>. Since then,<br />

Environment<br />

Canterbury has<br />

been granting<br />

short-term<br />

extensions to use<br />

the wastewater<br />

system while the<br />

community and<br />

district council<br />

worked to find<br />

a solution. The<br />

Graham<br />

Evans<br />

current extension will finish on<br />

June 30.<br />

Nearby Greenpark Huts will<br />

be vacated by June 30 for similar<br />

reasons, while Lower <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Huts residents have until <strong>20</strong>34 to<br />

leave their homes. Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Huts are further away from Lake<br />

Ellesmere, so the council has<br />

given residents an extra five years<br />

to vacate the area.<br />

Due to the pipeline’s lifespan of<br />

more than 50 years, the council<br />

passed an amendment that hut<br />

owners only pay 30 per cent of the<br />

cost.<br />

It was supported by Ellesmere<br />

Ward councillors Shane Epiha<br />

and Elizabeth Mundt, Springs<br />

Ward councillors Debra Hasson<br />

and Grant Miller, Malvern Ward<br />

councillors Bob Mugford and<br />

Lydia Gliddon, and Rolleston<br />

Ward councillor Nicole Reid.<br />

Rolleston Ward councillor Sophie<br />

McInnes abstained.<br />

Residents will now pay<br />

about $1.2 million towards the<br />

pipeline, instead of the proposed<br />

$2 million. The exact cost to<br />

individual owners has not been<br />

calculated.<br />

Evans said he’s still concerned<br />

about the cost to hut residents<br />

even with the reduction.<br />

Epiha, Dean, Hasson, McInnes,<br />

Miller, Reid and deputy mayor<br />

Malcolm Lyall voted to keep<br />

the staff recommendation of<br />

15 years. Mugford, Mundt, and<br />

Gliddon voted against it.<br />

Mayor Sam Broughton was<br />

absent due to a family matter.<br />

Under the new licences, huts<br />

can be sold until <strong>20</strong>34, along<br />

with the remaining lease period,<br />

after which they can only be<br />

transferred to an identified<br />

family member or significant<br />

person.<br />

The new licences will also likely<br />

include a bond of $383 a year to<br />

be paid by hut owners to help the<br />

district council recuperate costs if<br />

a hut is abandoned without being<br />

demolished.<br />

Plan appeals<br />

heading to<br />

mediation<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

DATES HAVE been set for<br />

Environment Court mediation for<br />

two District Plan appeals.<br />

Lynn and Carol Townsend, Lynn<br />

and Malcolm Stewart, and Rick and<br />

Diane Fraser appealed to have 27ha<br />

on Springs Rd, near the intersection<br />

of Tancreds Rd, zoned from rural to<br />

industrial to build a business park.<br />

Opposing the appeal are Fletcher<br />

Living, and neighbouring residents<br />

and research farms which say the<br />

industrial zoning would have adverse<br />

effects on their properties.<br />

Mediation between the parties is<br />

scheduled for September 12 and 13.<br />

The second appeal from Birchs<br />

Village would see 400 homes built<br />

on Birchs Rd, on the outskirts of<br />

Prebbleton.<br />

The plan was rejected in a private<br />

plan change (PC79), and the District<br />

Plan review, due to the land being<br />

highly productive and Prebbleton not<br />

needing any more capacity.<br />

For the subdivision to be built, the<br />

land will need to be rezoned from<br />

rural to residential.<br />

Opposing the appeal are nearby<br />

residents. Mediation between the<br />

parties is scheduled for September 9<br />

and 10.<br />

If no agreement is made between<br />

the parties at mediation, it then goes<br />

to an Environment Court hearing.<br />

SIXTY-SIX YEARS after her<br />

grandmother claimed the title,<br />

Paige Sullivan has been named<br />

Miss Canterbury.<br />

“I felt sick I was so nervous. I<br />

really didn’t expect to be at that<br />

point and I honestly still don’t<br />

believe it,” she said.<br />

It was Sullivan’s first beauty<br />

pageant.<br />

“It was really incredible, all<br />

of the girls were amazing and<br />

so kind . . . the whole process<br />

from start to finish was really<br />

empowering.”<br />

Sullivan said being Miss<br />

Canterbury was more than<br />

just being ‘pretty’, compared to<br />

when her grandmother Dianna<br />

McFarlane competed in 1958.<br />

“I found out that half of the<br />

score is made up of community<br />

work, and I thought I was<br />

already doing that anyway, and<br />

it’s really aligned with me.”<br />

Sullivan grew up in Rolleston<br />

and attended Lincoln High<br />

School, where she was chair of<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Youth Council. She<br />

now lives in Halswell, but is<br />

still heavily involved in Lincoln<br />

Rotary.<br />

“Most of the stuff I do is<br />

within <strong>Selwyn</strong>, so I guess I still<br />

consider myself a <strong>Selwyn</strong> girl.”<br />

Sullivan also won best in<br />

interview, Miss Charity and<br />

Miss Positivity.<br />

As part of the competition,<br />

she ran a fashion show and<br />

raised $9000 for the I Am<br />

Hope charity, which helps<br />

youth receive mental health<br />

counselling and other support.<br />

“I’m really proud of that and<br />

I think it will make a difference<br />

for the organisation as well,” she<br />

said.<br />

Sullivan was the immediate<br />

past president of the Rotary<br />

Club of Lincoln from June <strong>20</strong>22<br />

to July last year.<br />

“I’d grown up around the club<br />

from when I was 11 because my<br />

parents joined when we moved<br />

to Rolleston and I got taken<br />

along to everything and really<br />

fell in love with it.<br />

“I joined the club when I<br />

was 18 and was involved in a<br />

number of different leadership<br />

roles when I was in the club,”<br />

enter Miss New Zealand next<br />

Views sought on ward future<br />

New structure,<br />

new names to<br />

be decided<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

WHAT DO you want your<br />

council ward to be called?<br />

That’s the question being asked<br />

as the council considers a new<br />

ward structure.<br />

As part of the council’s<br />

representation review, it had to<br />

change the structure due to the<br />

growth in Rolleston, meaning the<br />

current ward system no longer<br />

meets legislative requirements.<br />

Two options have now been<br />

confirmed to go out for public<br />

consultation next month, and as<br />

part of it, new names for all wards<br />

will be sought.<br />

In the four ward-eight<br />

councillor option (top right),<br />

the ward boundaries remain<br />

similar, the main difference being<br />

West Melton will be joined with<br />

Lincoln and Prebbleton, and<br />

Burnham will be joined with<br />

Rolleston.<br />

One councillor will cover the<br />

Malvern area, one will cover the<br />

Ellesmere area, three will cover<br />

Rolleston, and three will cover<br />

Lincoln, Prebbleton and West<br />

Melton.<br />

In the three ward-10 councillor<br />

option, much of what is currently<br />

the Malvern and Ellesmere<br />

wards are joined together, and<br />

West Melton will be joined with<br />

Lincoln and Prebbleton, and<br />

Burnham will be joined with<br />

Rolleston.<br />

Three councillors will cover the<br />

joined Malvern and Ellesmere<br />

wards, four will cover Rolleston<br />

and three will cover Lincoln,<br />

Prebbleton and West Melton.<br />

NO GO: Gates will be added to access points at Greenpark Sands after<br />

damage by vehicles. The future of 4WD access to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River is also<br />

being considered.<br />

PHOTO: SDC ​<br />

Vehicle access to<br />

Greenpark Sands<br />

to be restricted<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

EXTENSIVE DAMAGE to parts of Te<br />

Waihora Lake Ellesmere shoreline by<br />

4WD vehicles has forced the district<br />

council to restrict access.<br />

Gates will be installed to stop vehicles<br />

from accessing Greenpark Sands. The<br />

sands run around the 13km of the shore of<br />

the lake, from the LII River to the Halswell<br />

River.<br />

Two locked gates will be installed at the<br />

end of Wolfes Rd and Jarvis Rd.<br />

Said council environmental team lead<br />

Andrew Spanton: “The final design and<br />

construction of the gates is yet to be determined,<br />

but they will need to be effective at<br />

preventing unauthorised access, durable,<br />

and easily replaceable should wilful damage<br />

occur.<br />

“The gates will be jointly operated and<br />

managed by Fish & Game and DOC (Department<br />

of Conservation), with oversight<br />

from council. Fish & Game will keep a<br />

register of authorised users, which will<br />

also serve as a contact database for information<br />

exchange.”<br />

The gates will be permanently locked to<br />

the general public from August 1 to February<br />

28. From <strong>March</strong> 1 to July 31, legitimate<br />

vehicle users may request a combination<br />

lock code for the gate from Fish & Game.<br />

The permanent closure lines up with the<br />

breeding season for the banded dotterel,<br />

while the open season is primarily to allow<br />

duck hunters access.<br />

The gates will continue to allow pedestrian<br />

and cycle access to the lake at all<br />

times.<br />

The restrictions for the sands come as<br />

investigations start to look at the future of<br />

4WD access to the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River.<br />

The popular 4WDing location may have<br />

access restrictions placed on it, depending<br />

on the outcome of a Te Waihora <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

water zone committee investigation.<br />

As part of its action plan, the committee<br />

is focused on restoring the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River<br />

back to a healthy state.<br />

Said committee chair Matt Dodds:<br />

“<strong>Selwyn</strong> River vehicle access was discussed<br />

at a recent water zone committee meeting,<br />

as part of our action plan review process.<br />

“The zone committee has an action in<br />

the plan to investigate the impact of 4WD<br />

use and rubbish dumping in the river,<br />

along with options for low-impact recreational<br />

4WD use.”<br />

He said the plan included looking into<br />

whether the district and regional councils<br />

were aware of any issues, and what policies<br />

around 4WD use currently existed.<br />

“At this stage, it is simply an information<br />

gathering exercise and any further<br />

action will be determined by the findings,”<br />

Dodds said.<br />

The water zone committee is a joint<br />

committee between the district council,<br />

Environment Canterbury and the<br />

Christchurch City Council, with rūnanga<br />

representatives and community members.<br />

Legal Matters<br />

Public Works Act continued…<br />

There is an increasing demand<br />

for national and regional public<br />

infrastructure and network services<br />

- railways, airports, roads, electricity,<br />

schools, and the like - that can<br />

support New Zealand’s growing<br />

population. The Public Works<br />

Act (“PWA”) provides the legal<br />

framework for government and<br />

local authorities to acquire land/<br />

register easements for these public<br />

projects. The legislation is intended<br />

to ensure there’s a clear process for<br />

engagement with affected property<br />

owners and that compensation for<br />

acquired land is fair and reasonable.<br />

The process is summarised below:<br />

The PWA process is usually initiated<br />

when a council or government<br />

agency such as Waka Kotahi NZ<br />

Transport Agency identifies a<br />

need for land to carry out a public<br />

project. However, it could also be a<br />

significant utility provider that has<br />

applied to the Minister for Land<br />

Information under the Resource<br />

Management Act to have easements<br />

acquired or taken under the PWA.<br />

The acquiring authority must<br />

demonstrate that the proposed<br />

acquisition is in the public interest<br />

and that no reasonable alternative<br />

exists.<br />

Following the identification of<br />

suitable land, a notice is usually<br />

issued to the landowner setting out<br />

the desire to acquire the property,<br />

or part of it. This notice should<br />

detail the purpose of the proposed<br />

acquisition and initiate negotiations<br />

regarding compensation. This is a<br />

key phase of the process and there<br />

are limited timeframes in which a<br />

response and/or objection can be<br />

made; so, at this point you’d be well<br />

advised to get in touch with a lawyer<br />

Public Works Act.<br />

While the PWA does provide for the<br />

powers to acquire private property,<br />

it also incorporates safeguards to<br />

protect landowners’ rights, such as<br />

receiving fair and just compensation<br />

and ensuring that a landowners’<br />

reasonable legal and valuation costs<br />

are reimbursed. When land has<br />

been acquired for a public project<br />

and is no longer required, in most<br />

circumstances the PWA requires<br />

the land to be offered back to the<br />

person from whom the land was<br />

initially acquired or that person’s<br />

successor.<br />

Having land taken under the Public<br />

Works Act can be stressful and,<br />

at times, complex. Tavendale and<br />

in dealing with the acquisition<br />

of farmland and the impact on<br />

operational farming properties,<br />

acquisition, or consider this a<br />

possibility in the future, please do<br />

get in touch – we’d be more than<br />

happy to take you through the<br />

process in more detail and assist<br />

with any negotiations to ensure you<br />

Electrician all about keeping it local<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

MORE OF THE district’s<br />

residents want to work<br />

locally, shop locally, and use<br />

local services, relying less on<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Lincoln electrician Chris<br />

Graham is one of increasing<br />

number of people embracing<br />

that lifestyle.<br />

Seven years ago, Graham was<br />

working as an electrician for<br />

a company in Christchurch,<br />

commuting to and from his<br />

home in Lincoln.<br />

While working in the city<br />

he would often not be able to<br />

help with the little jobs in his<br />

community. It was then he<br />

decided to go it alone and focus<br />

on being the “local electrician”<br />

and spend a lot of his time in the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> area.<br />

“I wasn’t finding the time to<br />

help the little local person, so<br />

that’s what prompted me to go<br />

into for myself and focus a bit<br />

more on the local community.<br />

Hence why I call myself<br />

The Local Electrician,” Graham<br />

said.<br />

A council survey showed there<br />

was a strong desire to make<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> a “holistic hub” where<br />

people can work, live and play at<br />

all stages of life, without needing<br />

to go anywhere else.<br />

“Many residents mentioned<br />

that while they are okay with<br />

travelling to Christchurch if<br />

they want to, the predominant<br />

preference is for <strong>Selwyn</strong> to<br />

become a ‘one-stop-shop’,” the<br />

survey report said.<br />

The report said there was a<br />

desire from residents to put their<br />

children in a local school and<br />

have a local healthcare provider.<br />

For Graham, living and<br />

working in <strong>Selwyn</strong> also led<br />

to him having a desire to hire<br />

locals, a practice that has seen<br />

him hire Lincoln High School<br />

students.<br />

Every year he gets one or two<br />

Gateway students from the high<br />

school, some of whom have<br />

stayed on to work full time.<br />

Gateway takes year 12 and<br />

13 students and offers them<br />

experiences in a range of<br />

careers from coffee making to<br />

a variety of trades and helps<br />

those students work towards<br />

employment.<br />

“Through the Gateway<br />

programme I took on Cam<br />

Radford as an apprentice. He<br />

worked for me part-time, he’s<br />

YOUTH: Stacey Varcoe<br />

and Cam Radford were<br />

employed through Lincoln<br />

High School’s Gateway<br />

programme.<br />

still with me and now he’s<br />

qualified,’ Graham said.<br />

Graham also employs former<br />

Lincoln High students Molly<br />

McCall and Stacey Varcoe, with<br />

Varcoe coming from the Gateway<br />

programme and McCall starting<br />

as an apprentice.<br />

“I was a lad at high school<br />

once, so I want to throw the<br />

opportunities out there to the<br />

young people.”<br />

Graham said he also likes to<br />

employ locals because of his<br />

brand, and what he has become<br />

known for.<br />

“It’s nice to be able to offer locals<br />

a local tradie because they want a<br />

local tradie. I’d feel a bit rubbish<br />

if someone rang me because I’m<br />

local and I sent them someone<br />

from Christchurch to Lincoln to<br />

do a job for me.”<br />

Safer Speeds for <strong>Selwyn</strong> Schools and Intersections<br />

are One Step Closer<br />

Safer speeds around <strong>Selwyn</strong> schools and high-risk<br />

intersections are one step closer, after <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

District Councillors moved to approve an Interim<br />

Speed Management Plan last week.<br />

The Plan is aimed at introducing a variable 30km/h<br />

speed limit around schools, during peak times, as<br />

well as reducing approaching speeds to dangerous<br />

intersections across the district.<br />

Following community consultation in October <strong>20</strong>23,<br />

the Council’s Full Speed Management Plan on<br />

district-wide speed reductions was placed on hold<br />

pending further direction from the Minister.<br />

However, the Council’s Executive Director of<br />

Infrastructure and Property, Tim Mason said the<br />

Council has followed advice from the ministry around<br />

producing an interim plan as safety at these critical<br />

locations cannot wait.<br />

“Our district continues to grow, there are more people<br />

on our roads, and we want to ensure everyone gets to<br />

where they’re going safely.<br />

“While speed isn’t the only cause of accidents, it<br />

does determine the severity of outcomes. There is an<br />

urgent need to lower speeds around our schools and<br />

high-risk intersections and we don’t want to wait until<br />

someone is killed or injured before we<br />

take action”.<br />

The variable speed limits proposed around schools<br />

is in line with current indications from the Minister<br />

on the what the new rule will include and will be<br />

implemented using electronic and static<br />

speed signage.<br />

The Plan will now be submitted to NZTA Waka<br />

Kotahi for approval with the aim to begin work<br />

rolling it out before the end of June <strong>20</strong>24.For more<br />

Teaching Opportunities with <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Sister Cities<br />

The Council’s Sister City Committee has been<br />

asked by two of our Sister City partners to help<br />

recruit teachers to work overseas.<br />

Toraja, Indonesia<br />

Toraja is <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s Sister City in the highlands of<br />

Sulawesi, Indonesia. In <strong>20</strong>19 three retired <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

teachers spent time working with Junior High<br />

School English teachers to assist their teaching<br />

practices. Last year one of the Toraja teachers spent<br />

three weeks in <strong>Selwyn</strong> mainly at Rolleston College,<br />

observing teaching and learning.<br />

Barana Christian Senior High School now seeks<br />

three or four retired <strong>Selwyn</strong> teachers, or teachers<br />

on sabbatical, to spend three to four weeks in<br />

their school helping to further develop an English<br />

environment for their students.<br />

Teachers would pay their own way for travel and<br />

insurance, but accommodation, transport and<br />

tourism activities would be paid for by Barana<br />

Christian community. September is the preferred<br />

month weatherwise.<br />

Lanzhou City University, China<br />

Lanzhou City University is seeking full time English<br />

teachers to join their staff. Lanzhou is in the Gansu<br />

Province in northwest China.<br />

Lanzhou City University was originally the Bailie Oil<br />

School established by Rewi Alley and George Hogg.<br />

Rewi Alley was born in Springfield in Canterbury<br />

and educated in Amberley and Christchurch.<br />

Teachers with more than one year’s experience<br />

and a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree are invited<br />

to apply for a year-long contract. A salary will be<br />

paid and a contribution towards return travel.<br />

Accommodation is provided in a fully furnished<br />

apartment with free internet access.<br />

For more information on these opportunities<br />

please visit selwyn.govt.nz/news or contact<br />

Next Steps for Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Huts Confirmed<br />

Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts residents will have clarity<br />

over their immediate future and an opportunity<br />

to shape the long-term future under a new<br />

Council proposal.<br />

At its meeting on 13 <strong>March</strong>, the Council agreed a<br />

new draft Deed of Licence to be put to the Huts<br />

residents, ahead of the current licence expiring<br />

on 30 June this year.<br />

The new licence offers residents up to 15 years<br />

at the site as they work with the Council on the<br />

process for the long-term future. Licences would<br />

not be renewed after 15 years, in line with the<br />

other hut communities of Lower <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts<br />

and Greenpark Huts that border Te Waihora.<br />

The Council also voted to reduce the cost to the<br />

Huts community for installing a new wastewater<br />

pipeline, with the proposal that the cost of the<br />

pipeline be 70% covered by the Council.<br />

TWO SIBLINGS have won<br />

Darfield High School’s first<br />

ever bowls medals at the<br />

Canterbury secondary schools<br />

championships.<br />

Anna Mangels, 16, and her<br />

brother Evan, 12 won the pairs<br />

competition held at Morrison Ave<br />

Bowling Club in Christchurch last<br />

week.<br />

Their mum Tracy Mangels,<br />

who works at Darfield High as<br />

a careers advisor, said the win<br />

probably hadn’t sunk in yet.<br />

“This is the first year Darfield<br />

have entered a team into this,<br />

so we sort of went in with no<br />

expectations,” she said.<br />

“We were meant to be in a<br />

mixed pair division, but there<br />

weren’t enough mixed pairs,<br />

so we were just sort of thrown<br />

into open pairs, so they were up<br />

against year 13s essentially, from<br />

other schools.”<br />

The siblings started playing<br />

bowls three years ago when their<br />

parents joined the West Melton<br />

Bowling Club to play socially, and<br />

the kids tagged along.<br />

Mangels said Evan plays every<br />

week, but Anna is more sporadic.<br />

“He (Evan) really only just<br />

comes along to be honest for the<br />

canapes and the free sausages. But<br />

the oldies down at the club said<br />

that he’s just, you know, he’s a real<br />

natural.<br />

“Anna just fills in when we’re a<br />

bit desperate and short of players.”<br />

Mangels said she was a very<br />

proud mum.<br />

“For them to sort of keep that<br />

mental thing in check while they<br />

were playing was really cool.<br />

“It was quite exciting realising<br />

that there was a potential to even<br />

just get a place at this event, let<br />

alone win.”<br />

Oscar Smith was third in the<br />

History beckons for Weedons<br />

after success in one-day semi<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

WEEDONS ARE eyeing<br />

an historic double in the<br />

Canterbury Country one-day<br />

final this weekend.<br />

Having already secured the<br />

T<strong>20</strong> title three weeks ago, victory<br />

this weekend would seal a second<br />

trophy of the season – something<br />

never achieved since the T<strong>20</strong><br />

competition was created 10 years<br />

ago.<br />

Weedons player-coach Jeremy<br />

Benton said it would be a hugely<br />

special achievement.<br />

“An exciting opportunity is<br />

there for the fellas if we put a<br />

performance on the board on<br />

Saturday.<br />

“All the effort you put in from<br />

planning and pre-season in July<br />

and then every training, every<br />

game.<br />

“This is why you play it. So (it’s<br />

an) awesome opportunity for us<br />

to do something special.”<br />

Weedons beat Sefton in the<br />

one-day semi-final to set up a<br />

final clash with Darfield.<br />

Sefton were widely regarded as<br />

favourites to win the competition<br />

before their semi-final loss, and<br />

Benton said beating them was a<br />

massive confidence boost.<br />

“Sefton’s probably the hardest<br />

team, and the hardest place to go<br />

and win. Especially defending<br />

160 when they were 100/2, it<br />

gives us a massive amount of<br />

confidence.<br />

Benton said the team was in<br />

good form after a poor start to<br />

the season.<br />

“At the end of November, I<br />

think we were one win from five,<br />

and now we’ve gone something<br />

like 16 from 18 in our last games.<br />

“It’s pretty cool. We’re hitting<br />

our straps at the right time of the<br />

year.”<br />

Standing in their way is<br />

Darfield, who beat Peninsula-<br />

Harbour in the other semi-final.<br />

This will be Darfield’s fourth<br />

final in as many years, having<br />

lost two and won one of the last<br />

three.<br />

Coach Shannon McAleer<br />

said the experience would be<br />

beneficial for this year’s final.<br />

“We’ve got a lot of quite<br />

experienced guys in our team.<br />

I think we’ve got five guys who<br />

will now have played in all four<br />

of the last four finals.<br />

“We’ve probably only got two<br />

guys who didn’t play in last<br />

year’s final, so we’ve got a pretty<br />

experienced team and when it<br />

comes down to knockout cricket<br />

the boys know what to do.”<br />

McAleer said his team’s top<br />

order had played themselves into<br />

form with some good innings<br />

recently.<br />

“They’ve all had a decent bat in<br />

the last two weeks, and they’ve<br />

faced a reasonable number of<br />

balls out in the middle whether<br />

it was against Cheviot or<br />

Peninsula-Harbour.<br />

“Imagine going into the final<br />

when you’ve got single figure<br />

scores under your belt or duck,<br />

duck, duck or something like<br />

that. At least the boys have had<br />

balls in the middle of the bat.”<br />

McAleer said his team would<br />

be up against it playing a<br />

Weedons team searching for its<br />

second trophy of the season.<br />

“We haven’t beaten Weedons at<br />

all this season, so if you want to<br />

pick an underdog, it’s Darfield.<br />

“We’ve got a good relationship<br />

with them, they’re a club just <strong>20</strong><br />

minutes down the road from our<br />

home ground. So we’re definitely<br />

looking forward to the game.”<br />

The final will start at noon at<br />

Mainpower Oval in Rangiora.<br />

Country cricket stalwart celebrated<br />

• By Sam Coughlan<br />

SPORTING PEDIGREE runs<br />

in the family for award-winning<br />

Darfield and Canterbury Country<br />

coach Rob Frew.<br />

Frew is the brother-in-law of<br />

former Black Caps batter Nathan<br />

Astle via his sister – Astle’s wife<br />

Lisa, who also represented the<br />

White Ferns in 1993.<br />

His sons Jordy and Jesse play<br />

for Darfield’s premier team while<br />

Jesse also represents Canterbury<br />

Country under the eye of his dad.<br />

Last week, Frew, 53, was<br />

recognised for his huge coaching<br />

contributions to Darfield and<br />

Canterbury Country, winning<br />

the outstanding contribution and<br />

services to coaching prize at the<br />

New Zealand Cricket awards.<br />

He said the it came out of the<br />

blue.<br />

“I didn’t know I was being nominated.<br />

So when they rang and<br />

said to me ‘you won an award,’ it<br />

was like, oh, yeah, so, what have I<br />

won?’<br />

“But I guess it’s just a nice<br />

recognition. You do a lot of<br />

coaching without wanting<br />

recognition, but it’s nice that<br />

people do appreciate what you’ve<br />

done over a long period of time.”<br />

Frew started his coaching<br />

journey <strong>20</strong> years ago in the same<br />

place he is now – with Canterbury<br />

Country.<br />

“I did a player-coach role with<br />

LONG SERVICE: Rob Frew helping his team prepare before a recent Canterbury Country<br />

game. Inset, Frew batting for Darfield, where he played until <strong>20</strong>19.<br />

Canterbury Country, with the<br />

senior team, that was for 10 years,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Then from there, I probably<br />

started off doing everything at<br />

Darfield, with the wee guys right<br />

the way through.<br />

“And the same with Canterbury<br />

Country, doing everything from<br />

primary schools, right through<br />

to under 15s, 17s, development<br />

teams, touring teams right back<br />

up to emerging players and now<br />

I’m back doing the Country team<br />

again.”<br />

In addition to his coaching<br />

roles, Frew is still an active player.<br />

He played 45 times for<br />

Canterbury between 1996<br />

and <strong>20</strong>03, and represented<br />

Canterbury Country until<br />

<strong>20</strong>13, and continued to play for<br />

Darfield until <strong>20</strong>19.<br />

He was selected for New<br />

Zealand’s over-50s side two years<br />

ago and has been in Blenheim<br />

playing a quad-series against<br />

Australia, the USA and the New<br />

Zealand over-50 ‘A’ side. Frew<br />

scored 43 against NZ A but<br />

struggled for runs in his other<br />

two matches, scoring 5 and 0.<br />

He said being able to represent<br />

his country is “pretty cool”.<br />

“When a lot of guys retire,<br />

families and bits and pieces get in<br />

the way.<br />

“I just enjoy being with a bunch<br />

of guys who have generally got a<br />

pretty good positive outlook on<br />

life. They have a good time.<br />

“We take it reasonably seriously<br />

but at the same time we are 50, so<br />

things don’t always go right.”<br />

Frew said it’s a heavy workload,<br />

but not unmanageable.<br />

“It’s sort of how I spend my<br />

summers, I suppose. That’s how<br />

we’ve always done it, as a family.<br />

“It’s a time consuming sport,<br />

but it is rewarding and sometimes<br />

you do think, well, what else<br />

would I rather be doing?”<br />

Exceptional luxury SUV delivers in all areas<br />

MAZDA HAS launched a twopronged<br />

attack on our medium<br />

and large SUV market with its<br />

new CX60 and CX90, a couple<br />

of genuine standouts that should<br />

have its rivals worried.<br />

The CX-90, built on Mazda’s<br />

all-new large platform, is a worthy<br />

flagship that’s wider, longer, and<br />

more aggressively proportioned<br />

than any current Mazda.<br />

Joining Mazda’s respected<br />

SUV range, this duo are the first<br />

products to launch off Mazda’s<br />

new Large Product platform,<br />

bringing fresh new designs paired<br />

with highly efficient electrified<br />

powertrains.<br />

Both CX-60 and CX-90 are<br />

the most important new models<br />

for Mazda in a generation. They<br />

offer innovation aplenty with<br />

first class passenger comfort all<br />

encapsulated within striking new<br />

designs that are an evolution<br />

of the company’s Kodo design<br />

mantra.<br />

Offering electric assisted<br />

engines featuring hybrid and<br />

plug-in hybrids or PHEV is<br />

central to Mazda’s aim of targeting<br />

different products and powertrain<br />

technologies, to best suit specific<br />

market demands and trends. Both<br />

the CX60 and CX90 are right on<br />

point on that score.<br />

Easily the largest and most<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

imposing model is the highly<br />

specified $92,990 CX-90 Takami<br />

in-line six being evaluated here,<br />

amidst claims about it using<br />

less fuel and producing fewer<br />

emissions from a fair lump of an<br />

engine.<br />

There is unprecedented demand<br />

that Mazda is battling to satisfy,<br />

especially for the CX60 PHEV.<br />

It’s been a long time since the<br />

company has produced a couple<br />

of vehicles such that have got the<br />

market so excited with both a<br />

quantum leap forward with their<br />

distinctive design, exceptional<br />

engines, plenty of innovation and<br />

with that, a more engaged and<br />

dynamic driving experience.<br />

This is an impressive effort<br />

from a company that’s highly<br />

regarding in in all these areas.<br />

For our shores, the CX-90<br />

is only available in flagship<br />

Takami spec and makes a grand<br />

entrance, wherever it travels on its<br />

imperious 21-inch black metallic<br />

machined alloy wheels.<br />

This juggernaut-sized SUV is<br />

definitely pitched at the North<br />

American market where these<br />

types of vehicles square off<br />

against the Nissan Pathfinder and<br />

Hyundai Palisade, plus a bevy of<br />

home grown talent from Ford,<br />

GMC and Chevrolet. The CX-90<br />

is very classy making it a serious<br />

and more affordable alternative<br />

to the likes of the BMW X7 and<br />

other full size luxury European<br />

like the Volvo XC90. Yes, its<br />

quality and design is at that lofty<br />

level.<br />

The CX-90 is offered exclusively<br />

with Mazda’s most powerful<br />

production engine ever a 3.3 litre<br />

in-line six-cylinder motor featuring<br />

48V mild-hybrid assist technology.<br />

Engines of this type and<br />

size are almost a throwback to the<br />

to the large Ford and Holden Aussie<br />

sixes of the 1980s and 1990s.<br />

Of course, those motors and this<br />

newcomer have absolutely nothing<br />

in common with them, apart<br />

from similar engine capacities.<br />

The CX-90 motor is a totally<br />

different beast, with 254kW of<br />

power and heaps of low speed<br />

heft thanks to 500Nm of torque.<br />

This comfortably shades its<br />

predecessor CX9’s 170kW of<br />

power and 4<strong>20</strong>Nm of torque<br />

mustered by its 2.5L turbo fourcylinder<br />

engine. These were good<br />

numbers back when it was first<br />

launched seven years ago.<br />

Not surprisingly, it’s easily<br />

outpointed in just about every<br />

direction on the performance<br />

compass by this mighty new<br />

sophisticated and refined six.<br />

It’s a highly accomplished and<br />

well-crafted motor in real world<br />

driving, and a class standout for<br />

smoothness and refinement that<br />

not only equals, but also betters a<br />

number of more costly rivals.<br />

This new generation motor has<br />

a new polished gear-changing<br />

companion in the form of a<br />

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build Quality<br />

8; Comfort 9; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for<br />

money: 8; Safety – Five Star ANCAP rating.<br />

Overall points out of 10: 8<br />

freshly developed eight-speed<br />

automatic. That’s two extra ratios<br />

than the long serving six-speed<br />

automatic that’s still a mainstay<br />

current Mazda range.<br />

This one of the most relaxing,<br />

yet responsive large luxury<br />

SUVs I have driven in the $100k<br />

price bracket and will convince<br />

the doubters with its excellent<br />

low-speed throttle response and<br />

pulling power.<br />

The CX-90 Takami offers<br />

voluminous amounts of people<br />

and load space and seven-seat<br />

versatility.<br />

The driver and passengers are<br />

cosseted in well-cushioned and<br />

comfy seats, with good underthigh<br />

and lower back support.<br />

Mazda have got the luxury<br />

detailing right with a 12-speaker<br />

Bose surround sound system, 360<br />

view monitor camera system plus<br />

adaptive LED headlights with<br />

glare-free high beam.<br />

Console and door trims feature<br />

white maple wood inserts, with<br />

other touches sending the luxury<br />

barometer soaring on this vehicle<br />

like no other Mazda. Black Nappa<br />

leather trim with heated and<br />

ventilated front seats, and bright<br />

roof rails, give the CX90 a good<br />

nudge even further up Quality<br />

Street.<br />

Mazda i-Activsense safety<br />

throws an all encompassing<br />

security blanket around the<br />

vehicles occupants, with 10<br />

airbags, radar cruise control<br />

and blind spot monitoring with<br />

vehicle exit warning function.<br />

The system isn’t done there,<br />

with a driver fatigue monitoring<br />

camera and a lane-keep assist<br />

system with departure warning.<br />

Mazda produces some excellent<br />

handling vehicles – some of<br />

the current stand- outs include<br />

the Mazda3, and sensational<br />

MX5 sports car. The skills<br />

and knowledge the company’s<br />

designers and engineers have<br />

acquired in creating these has<br />

trickled down to the likes of the<br />

CX90, resulting in a much better<br />

and more enjoyable vehicle to<br />

drive.<br />

For its size and weight, body<br />

roll is well disciplined and<br />

managed even when travelling<br />

briskly over undulating roads.<br />

The all-wheel drive system brings<br />

commendable stick-ability and<br />

tenacity to the road holding<br />

and handling party. You fully<br />

appreciate just how good the<br />

vehicle’s suspension is when you<br />

encounter tough, bone-jarring<br />

gravel roads in our more remote<br />

rural areas.<br />

Mazda sets a high benchmark<br />

for consistently communicative<br />

and nicely-weighted steering and<br />

this vehicle delivers. I admire how<br />

the CX-90 intelligently blends<br />

exceptional luxury, space, pace,<br />

ride and road holding, to create<br />

one of the most convincing large<br />

premium luxury seven-seat SUVs<br />

on our market.<br />

Possums: on everyone’s hitlist<br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

Rural growers and gardeners face a<br />

scourge that their urban counterparts<br />

are probably oblivious to. It’s nocturnal,<br />

agile, determined and hungry. Yes, it’s<br />

everyone’s least favourite Australian, the<br />

possum.<br />

First introduced in 1837, there are now<br />

millions of them, widespread across the<br />

country. These opportunistic omnivores<br />

eat shoots, buds, fruits, berries, leaves,<br />

ferns, birds’ eggs, chicks and insects and<br />

do general scavenging.<br />

Farmers hate them. Possums love<br />

pasture plants such as clover and herbs,<br />

and arable crops such as grains and<br />

vegetables. Dairy and deer farmers have<br />

the added worry of possums spreading<br />

bovine tuberculosis.<br />

DOC hates them, calling them “one<br />

of the greatest threats to our natural<br />

environment”. The possum both competes<br />

with and preys on our native birds and<br />

insects, and devours native plants.<br />

And gardeners, well gardeners hate<br />

them. You’ll know its presence by<br />

the distinctive jagged and torn-out<br />

mouthbites in leaves and stripped out<br />

buds, especially – horror! – fresh young<br />

rosebuds. They tend to return each night<br />

until a plant is finished. And the bad news<br />

is, possums are homebodies, so if they like<br />

your garden they’ll settle down in close<br />

range.<br />

At the farm- or conservation-land scale,<br />

pest control systems of hunting, trapping<br />

or poisoning are usually in place. Control<br />

agencies have strict procedures governed<br />

by the Resource Management, Pesticides<br />

and Animal Welfare Acts, with severe<br />

penalties possible. But if it’s just you in<br />

your rural garden, what can you do?<br />

On the outer edges of regional <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Possum vs blackberry<br />

towns, poisoning and hunting are<br />

probably too extreme. Which leaves<br />

trapping – so the choice is, live capture,<br />

or kill?<br />

If you want to try before you buy,<br />

various agencies in <strong>Selwyn</strong> offer trap<br />

libraries. There are multiple choices of<br />

kill trap commercially available to private<br />

landowners. These must be set correctly,<br />

to avoid consequences for non-target<br />

beings.<br />

If you’ve caught a possum in a live trap,<br />

cover the cage to help calm it. National<br />

Pest Control Agencies (NPCA) lists three<br />

acceptable euthanasia methods: shooting,<br />

one-strike blow to the head, or vet. The<br />

first two options are likely outside the<br />

capabilities of an ordinary rural gardener,<br />

and the third outside their willingness.<br />

NPCA’s overarching principle is that the<br />

animal must be rendered irreversibly<br />

unconscious as quickly and painlessly as<br />

possible. In autumn, the pouch must also<br />

be checked for young.<br />

Not fun – but, sadly, a serious issue that<br />

needs to be tackled.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Plum trees need a pollinator<br />

THERE’S A reason polyanthus<br />

is one of the top selling plants<br />

year after year. In fact, there are a<br />

couple of reasons.<br />

Polyanthus is very easy to plant<br />

and grows just about anywhere –<br />

as long as there’s some sun.<br />

But we think the secret behind<br />

it’s popularity, comes down to the<br />

fantastic, bright colours it comes in<br />

– particularly at a time like winter<br />

when there isn’t so much colour in<br />

the garden.<br />

This pretty and popular plant<br />

come in a range of hues like pink,<br />

blue and red and looks great in<br />

hanging baskets or borders.<br />

You can grow polyanthus in pots<br />

but they also look good planted<br />

FRESH: Plums are popular with children but watch out the birds don’t get them first.<br />

PLUMS ARE so easy to grow and,<br />

when planted with the correct<br />

pollinator, will fruit heavily after<br />

only a few years.<br />

Plums have become more<br />

popular in the past few years with<br />

home gardeners growing more of<br />

their own fruit.<br />

Plum trees grow between 3-4m<br />

high depending on the variety<br />

chosen and how they are pruned.<br />

The three main types flower and<br />

fruit differently. The European<br />

plum, Prunus domestica, flowers<br />

in late September on spurs.<br />

European plums generally have<br />

smaller, rounder oval fruit which<br />

need pollinating. The japanese<br />

plum, Prunus salicinas, flowers in<br />

early September on last season’s<br />

new wood. It has large, often<br />

pointed fruit. The cherry plums,<br />

which are Prunus cerasifera, are a<br />

cross between the European and<br />

Japanese plums. They flower in<br />

late winter.<br />

Plums prefer a sunny spot with<br />

good drainage. Spring frosts can<br />

be a problem if the plant is flowering<br />

at the time. Water the plant<br />

well during dry periods, fertilise<br />

in early and late spring.<br />

Plums are vigorous growers so<br />

should be pruned for shape and<br />

to keep control of the plant. Thin<br />

out large lateral growths, remove<br />

diseased dead branches; thin the<br />

tree out to allow light in to promote<br />

spur formation.<br />

Pruning should be done after<br />

harvest to prevent disease. Brown<br />

rot is the main disease that affects<br />

plums, along with the odd insect.<br />

Birds are also a pest.<br />

Spray with copper and oil three<br />

times in winter, then with mavrik<br />

or carbaryl and copper monthly<br />

while the tree is in leaf. Watch out<br />

for birds as they love plums too.<br />

around potted citrus trees.<br />

Once you’ve got your seedlings<br />

you need to find a spot to grow<br />

them. If you’re planting outside,<br />

make sure the soil is well-drained,<br />

then dig over and add some<br />

compost.<br />

If you’re potting your<br />

polyanthus, use potting mix to<br />

ensure they have the best kick-start<br />

to their growth.<br />

In around four to six weeks<br />

you should have these tight, low,<br />

compact and colourful plants<br />

brightening up your home and<br />

garden.<br />

Pick off the dead flowers to<br />

encourage more flowering and<br />

watch out for slugs.<br />

Most plum trees need a<br />

pollinator to ensure fruit set.<br />

Even self-fertile plants will benefit<br />

from a companion plant. Some<br />

varieties pollinate lots of other<br />

varieties.<br />

You can even buy trees with<br />

pollinators on them. Two or three<br />

varieties are grafted on to a tree so<br />

you get two to three types of plum<br />

on the one tree, which saves room<br />

and the plums get pollinated<br />

properly.<br />

Plums taste best when they are<br />

picked ripe from the tree, some<br />

cherry plums and plum santa rosa<br />

are the only self-fertile varieties<br />

available.<br />

Here are some popular varieties.<br />

Cherry plums black doris –<br />

great all purpose, medium-sized,<br />

TOP-SELLER: Polyanthus grow anywhere there is sun.<br />

black-purple skinned, deep red<br />

sweet juicy fruit. Billington or<br />

omega helps with pollination.<br />

Billington – Cross between<br />

sultan and the japanese plum.<br />

Ripens early December-January<br />

and has medium-sized, redskinned,<br />

red flesh, juicy fruit.<br />

Omega – Red flesh with greenred<br />

speckled skin. This plum is<br />

juicy, sweet and self-fertile. A<br />

good all-round plum.<br />

Japanese plums – These plums<br />

are heavier croppers and more<br />

vigorous growing.<br />

Burbank – Has heavy crops of<br />

red fruit with yellow flesh. It is<br />

self-fertile.<br />

Elephant heart – Is a large plum<br />

with reddish-purple skin and<br />

sweet red flesh. Its pollinator is<br />

santa rosa.<br />

Santa Rosa – Is a large, deep<br />

purple plum with pink-yellow<br />

flesh. It is self-fertile and has<br />

sweet fruit.<br />

Sultan – Is a popular variety<br />

with large red fruit covering the<br />

tree. Its pollinator is omega.<br />

Satsuma – Has large, round,<br />

dark red fruit and is pollinated by<br />

santa rosa.<br />

Greengage – Is a popular plum<br />

producing greenish-yellow fruit<br />

in February. It is pollinated by<br />

other European plums.<br />

Fortune –Is a large plum with<br />

amazing taste.<br />

Project Automation is on a mission.<br />

They’ve perfected smart home and building<br />

technologies and want to spread the word<br />

to <strong>Selwyn</strong> that they can offer affordable and<br />

future proof options and extended value to<br />

suit builds of any budget.<br />

Imagine this:<br />

• When leaving the house, pushing<br />

“Goodbye” at the touch of a button turns<br />

off all lights and unnecessary appliances,<br />

lowers the blinds, turns on the security and<br />

opens the garage and gate.<br />

• On the way home, you use your phone app<br />

to let the house know to get ready –<br />

lighting, temperature control, curtains as<br />

you like them...<br />

• Sensors in the home can<br />

detect temperature,<br />

moisture, presence and<br />

even act as your security<br />

alarm.<br />

• Selecting “Shower Scene”<br />

enacts your pre-selected<br />

preferences of lighting,<br />

temperature and moisture<br />

control, and turns on the<br />

towel rail and heated mirrors.<br />

• Pushing “Night Mode” on<br />

the bedroom touchpad<br />

turns off all unrequired<br />

devices throughout the<br />

house and activates your<br />

preferred bedroom lighting.<br />

Luxuries like this are no longer the preserve of<br />

the super rich or the fanciest hotels. They are<br />

practical, affordable and cost-saving options<br />

that Project Automation has been installing<br />

for the last five years across house builds in<br />

Leeston, Southbridge, Prebbleton and Irwell,<br />

to list but a few.<br />

Craig Clark, Managing Director and head<br />

sparky of Project Automation – and <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

local – credits a client request for setting him<br />

on this path. “To deliver the solutions that<br />

were needed I had to look outside of the box.<br />

I was amazed by KNX and its results. Soon<br />

after Project Automation was born to<br />

specialise in this field”.<br />

The team at Project Automation has <strong>20</strong> years<br />

plus experience in bringing homes to life with<br />

a keen focus on KNX.<br />

The KNX technology is open protocol,<br />

enabling a solution for any<br />

environment. It works with any<br />

type of electrical component no<br />

matter what the brand or service<br />

you and your family prefer. While<br />

the hardwiring is conveniently<br />

installed as part of the house<br />

build, it can also be retrofitted.<br />

Enhancements can be added at<br />

any time.<br />

Although prevalent in Europe<br />

for 33 years, until recently in NZ<br />

this technology had mainly been<br />

used for commercial buildings and<br />

architectural homes. Project Automation is<br />

here to change that. No matter what your<br />

budget, contact Craig to explore these<br />

exciting possibilities.<br />

installing reliable and effective weather<br />

protection that is longlasting and safe.<br />

And best of all, its wide range of attractive<br />

and affordable products is made right here<br />

in Canterbury.<br />

Shade sails are ever popular. The range<br />

sold by Shadecraft offers the ultimate<br />

combination of maximum sun protection,<br />

strength and durability, to ensure<br />

maintenance-free, long-life performance.<br />

Excitingly, these come in a range of<br />

colours designed to suit all preferences.<br />

You might prefer neutral whites or greys,<br />

or cooling greens and blues, or the vibrant<br />

colour-pops of reds and oranges. Choose<br />

the perfect colour for your environment<br />

and personal style.<br />

Have you heard about Eclipse<br />

canopies? They are the next step up in<br />

weather protection. The super tough<br />

polycarbonate roof sheeting, with a<br />

choice of tints, is supported by a sturdy<br />

rectangular steel frame, galvanised to a<br />

colour of your choice.<br />

The sheeting provides 99% protection<br />

from the sun’s rays and can withstand<br />

hailstones up to 25mm in diameter.<br />

Each Eclipse is custom-made to suit each<br />

installation, and you can rest assured<br />

that the product conforms to Council<br />

requirements, enabling permits to be<br />

granted with minimal delay.<br />

Shade umbrellas give a festive air to<br />

any outdoor living space, from poolside<br />

to play area to barbecue. Shadecraft’s<br />

giant 6.8 metre umbrellas can be centre<br />

or side post mounted. The side post<br />

version can be rotated 360 degrees for<br />

precise positioning. The quality 99%<br />

UV shadecloth can be replaced with a<br />

waterproof fabric if required.<br />

Shadecraft’s multiple other offerings<br />

include stylish wave shades, louvre roofs<br />

that enable you to customise your perfect<br />

outdoor room all year round, unobtrusive<br />

yet highly effective drop blinds, and<br />

Moving house: choose your team well<br />

• By Isabelle Teresa<br />

When you’re moving house, it’s not just<br />

your possessions that are fragile. There’s<br />

something about the whole experience<br />

that will render anyone into a frazzled,<br />

exhausted mess.<br />

Your possessions can be confronting<br />

– their quantity, state, and the memories<br />

that they suddenly trigger from different<br />

points across your life, all at the same<br />

time. The practical considerations are<br />

also huge – you’re not only leaving one<br />

place, you’re simultaneously moving<br />

into the next one, with all the planning,<br />

disruptions and emotions that this whole<br />

situation creates.<br />

So, whoever you choose to help you<br />

move – a professional moving company,<br />

friends, family – choose them for their<br />

personality as much as for their muscles.<br />

Surround yourself with people who<br />

will stay positive and cheerful in all<br />

circumstances, even when (inevitably)<br />

something goes wrong.<br />

Not everyone can afford to use<br />

professional movers, but if it is at all<br />

possible for you I utterly recommend it,<br />

because:<br />

• They are fit, strong and fast. The<br />

job will get done in half the time.<br />

• They have the right vehicles and<br />

equipment to be efficient and safe.<br />

• If something goes wrong, they<br />

have the right insurances.<br />

• Unlike well-meaning helpers,<br />

they’re experienced in handling<br />

unusually-shaped, heavy items up<br />

and down steps and through<br />

impossible-looking doorways.<br />

• They might even give you<br />

professional moving boxes,<br />

bubblewrap etc, saving you<br />

the hassle of cobbling together<br />

unsuitable random boxes.<br />

• They are emotionally detached<br />

from your belongings, so can<br />

pack them quickly.<br />

• They treat you like a client –<br />

your needs, preferences and<br />

satisfaction are the priority.<br />

While moving day may only be one<br />

day, the personality fit is so important<br />

that it’s best to choose a company<br />

through recommendations or ideally<br />

by meeting them in advance.<br />

The best movers are almost<br />

counsellors. They will look for<br />

stresses building up and tactfully<br />

act to defuse these with kind words<br />

of reassurance, or, in the case of<br />

imminent argument, calling one<br />

person aside with “Can I check<br />

something with you over here for a<br />

minute?”.<br />

Any minuses to using professionals?<br />

Nothing major. There are occasional<br />

mistakes in how things are handled<br />

or labelled. And it’s their job to move<br />

things, not to dust them first. But quite<br />

frankly, you’ll be so grateful for the<br />

amazing help that you just don’t care. If<br />

it is possible to give yourself this treat, it<br />

can make the world of difference to all<br />

things fragile.<br />

Can you subdivide<br />

your property?<br />

+ Boundary Adjustments<br />

+ Rural Subdivisions<br />

+ Free Proposals<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

Surf club move<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sments southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act <strong>20</strong>15, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

New Brighton surf club opts<br />

to rebuild on new site<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />

Ms Jones said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and annual<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments are expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February <strong>20</strong>, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

<strong>20</strong> 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartments suffered damage<br />

in the February and June, <strong>20</strong> 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late <strong>20</strong>12. In <strong>20</strong>16, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

A DARFIELD farmer has<br />

spoken of watching a man leap into<br />

the flooded Hawkins River to try and<br />

save himself after a helicopter winch<br />

rescue operation failed.<br />

Rod May had taken his tractor to<br />

the scene on Greendale Rd, to try and<br />

reach the middle-aged man who had<br />

been clinging to the branches of a tree<br />

in the rising waters on Sunday night.<br />

The man had driven into the<br />

flooded river, escaped from his car<br />

and ca led emergency services from<br />

his ce lphone which he managed to<br />

keep with him.<br />

Ultimately, a second helicopter<br />

winch operation plucked the man<br />

to safety after he was swept downstream.<br />

It was a happy ending to the<br />

ordeal which had lasted more than<br />

three hours. The rescue was among<br />

several in Canterbury on Sunday in<br />

flooded rivers.<br />

May said he and his family had just<br />

had dinner when a neighbour alerted<br />

them. Arriving about 8.50pm, he saw<br />

the floodwaters were too high for the<br />

tractor, however, he used its lights for<br />

i luminating the site where the man<br />

was. • Turn to page 5<br />

Money<br />

taken<br />

after big<br />

pokie win<br />

• By Ba ry Clarke<br />

A BAR patron who won $1<strong>20</strong>0<br />

on the pokies may have been<br />

targeted by thieves moments after<br />

she co lected the money.<br />

A group of men who were in<br />

the bar at the same time are the<br />

focus of police inquiries. It is<br />

believed they watched her being<br />

paid, and then quickly swooped.<br />

The incident happened at The<br />

Famous Grouse Hotel in Lincoln<br />

two weeks ago.<br />

After she was paid out at the<br />

bar, the men who had been<br />

si ting nearby went over and<br />

congratulated her. While she was<br />

distracted the money disappeared<br />

from her handbag. She only<br />

realised it was gone after she left<br />

the hotel.<br />

Police have taken CCTV<br />

security camera footage from the<br />

hotel which shows the men going<br />

over to the woman and mobbing<br />

her in a congratulatory way. The<br />

footage also captures a hand from<br />

one of the men going towards the<br />

bag.<br />

Police say they may have<br />

identified one of the group but<br />

aren’t saying anymore about<br />

the incident. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong><br />

understands the men are from<br />

the Amberley area.<br />

THESE DAYS more and more<br />

Kiwis are growing their own<br />

herbs and vegetables.<br />

And more and more gardeners<br />

are taking a natural and organic<br />

approach to gardening. This<br />

means less chemicals and more<br />

thought about what plants might<br />

be beneficial to grow next to each<br />

other.<br />

This approach of growing<br />

certain plants for the benefit of<br />

other plants is ca led companion<br />

planting and the idea has been<br />

around for centuries.<br />

And marigolds are probably the<br />

most famous companion plant<br />

around.<br />

This brightly coloured flower<br />

just happens to produce a strong<br />

sme l which repels many insects<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />

pesticidal chemical which ki ls<br />

nematodes (microscopic parasites<br />

living in the soil).<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />

aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

and nematodes from potatoes and<br />

other root crops.<br />

They’re also said to keep<br />

white cabbage moths away from<br />

brassicas and wi l deter flies and Mass-planted, they wi l create a<br />

Greyhound Racing New Zealand ‘on notice’, indicating<br />

tha the industry would be measured based on key<br />

performance indicators and a decision would be made<br />

in the coming months. The SPCA is now asking where<br />

are these indicators and what are they measuring?<br />

Independent reports into the welfare of dogs over the<br />

While SPCA has tried for years to work with the<br />

greyhound industry to improve greyhound welfare,<br />

the organisation says the industry has been unable to<br />

adequately address its animal welfare problems.<br />

The animal welfare group believes it is clear the<br />

greyhound industry cannot meet its animal welfare<br />

obligations and is no longer acceptable in New Zealand<br />

society. A recent survey carried out by an independent<br />

research company on behalf of SPCA reports that<br />

74% of New Zealanders would vote to ban greyhound<br />

racing in a referendum.<br />

SPRING IS a time when it’s<br />

desirable to be working is the<br />

garden.<br />

However, there are hidden<br />

dangers and one of those is<br />

developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />

Here are some guidelines to<br />

avoid that happening<br />

•Minimise the amount of dust<br />

present when working in the<br />

garden.<br />

• Water gardens and indoor<br />

plants using a gentle spray.<br />

• Read the warning label on<br />

bagged composts or po ting mix.<br />

• Wear gloves.<br />

• Wear a mask so that any dust<br />

is filtered out before you can<br />

breathe it in.<br />

• Dampen po ting mixes before<br />

use.<br />

• Open bags of soil products<br />

slowly, away from the face.<br />

• Make sure the working area<br />

(for example, the glasshouse or<br />

po ting shed) is we l ventilated.<br />

• See a doctor if you develop a<br />

flu-like i lness that seems to be<br />

worsening.<br />

• Wash hands thoroughly<br />

after gardening or handling soil<br />

products.<br />

These are simple, easy and<br />

natural steps that a l gardeners<br />

can take to reduce risk while<br />

continuing to enjoy their garden.<br />

Greyhounds As Pets is a registered charity dedicated to finding<br />

homes for retired greyhounds. The charity says that ex-racing<br />

greyhounds have not had the same experiences as pet dogs and<br />

have only known racing and kenne life. The change in life for a<br />

racing dog is huge and the group provides training for new owners<br />

to help greyhounds to se tle in and integrate into their new home.<br />

that your home is equipped for winter and<br />

the conditions that come with this season.<br />

Here are some tips to ensure your home’s<br />

cosiness.<br />

• Focus on insulation to keep the<br />

warmth in and the cold out. Check<br />

windows and doors for drafts<br />

and seal any gaps with weather<br />

stripping or sealant. Ensure there is<br />

adequate insulation in the ceiling<br />

and underfloor to keep your home<br />

warm and reduce power bills. Using<br />

thermal-backed curtains can prevent<br />

heat from escaping through windows<br />

and doors.<br />

• Check around your house for areas<br />

that may have leaks, condensation,<br />

or little airflow. Using double-glazed<br />

windows, appropriate heating, and<br />

proper insulation will help prevent<br />

moisture from building up, which<br />

can lead to mould and mildew. Have<br />

heat pumps inspected and cleaned,<br />

or replace filters as needed.<br />

• If you have a log burner, get your<br />

chimney cleaned and checked for<br />

needed repairs. Also, as winter is a<br />

dangerous time for house fires, it’s<br />

wise to check the batteries in smoke/<br />

carbon monoxide detectors and test<br />

them to see that they are working<br />

correctly.<br />

• · Check that outdoor lights and<br />

motion sensors are working, or<br />

install lighting if necessary so that<br />

dark areas are well-lit to help prevent<br />

falls and slips.<br />

• Prune overgrown branches near<br />

your guttering or electrical wires<br />

to prevent damage during snow or<br />

storms.<br />

• Now is a good time to plan a winter<br />

garden to harvest fresh vegetables<br />

in winter or have a splash of colour<br />

in your garden. However, gardening<br />

tools should also be put away to keep<br />

them rust-free.<br />

• As the weather cools, it’s also time to<br />

swap out your light summer-weight<br />

bedding. Extra throws for the couch<br />

and rugs underfoot can create a<br />

warmer and more comfortable living<br />

environment.<br />

By being proactive now,<br />

you can be prepared for the<br />

cold weather ahead and<br />

ensure your home is warm,<br />

comfortable, and cosy.<br />
