Kia ora<br />
After signing off the Long-Term<br />
Plan, Council is now thinking about<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s future for the next 50-100<br />
years and we are seeking feedback<br />
from the community to shape how<br />
the district ought to be left for<br />
future generations.<br />
Waikirikiri Ki Tua Future <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
will guide future decision-making<br />
around housing, infrastructure,<br />
transport, the environment, people,<br />
communities, and the economy.<br />
Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> is a rapidly growing<br />
and highly sought-after place for<br />
families, businesses, and investment<br />
and I encourage you to look at what is<br />
being proposed in Waikirikiri Ki Tua<br />
Future <strong>Selwyn</strong>.<br />
The interactive website<br />
selwyn.govt.nz/future features<br />
possible scenarios, projected<br />
population changes, the structure of<br />
our towns and how we get around.<br />
Let us know what you think before<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> Loves Their Dogs<br />
As an avid dog lover, they have always been a big part of my family and clearly, I am not the<br />
only person in <strong>Selwyn</strong> who loves my dog. Did you know <strong>Selwyn</strong> has one of the highest rates of<br />
dog ownerships in the country with one in five households owning a dog? <strong>Selwyn</strong> dog owners<br />
also love the names Poppy, Ruby, Charlie, and Max. With 2,2<strong>31</strong> labradors registered for the year<br />
2023/24, this breed is a clear favourite.<br />
In the list of top 20 breeds for 2023/24, the Chihuahua made its debut, knocking off the<br />
Bearded Collie from the previous year’s table. We love our dogs in <strong>Selwyn</strong>, so it is important for<br />
us to make sure we have a good animal control service. Our team are on call 24/7 looking after<br />
lost dogs and helping reunite you with your pets, helping with complaints, and running dog<br />
safety education programmes and microchipping clinics.<br />
With the district’s booming population (and pupulation) the Council has increased fees for<br />
the first time in over three years to cover the increasing operational costs necessary to deliver<br />
animal control services. Costs have been kept as low as possible, while still maintaining the<br />
exceptional service and value for money the animal control team continually provide.<br />

Recommendations for Local<br />
Government<br />
Last month a review made<br />
recommendations for an overhaul<br />
of Local Government, including that<br />
Councils should have more control over<br />
how public money is spent.<br />
In New Zealand over 90% of public<br />
money is spent by Central Government<br />
leaving Councils to spend the remaining<br />
10%. This makes it hard for us to provide<br />
the infrastructure and services we know<br />
you need.<br />
The report also says that Government<br />
should pay rates on Crown property,<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong> this could mean valuable<br />
new income from Defence and DoC.<br />
We simply can’t continue to raise rates<br />
to pay for the ever-expanding list of<br />
things Central Government want us to<br />
do, as well as tackling climate change<br />
and caring for our environment.<br />
Happy Matariki from Ellesmere<br />
Manawatia a Matariki, Nga mihi o<br />
te tau hou.<br />
Wow what an amazing time of the year<br />
winter is. Frosts on the grass and on your<br />
windscreens means extra care is needed<br />
when driving, especially in case of<br />
black ice.<br />
As our uniquely “New Zealand” New Year<br />
we get to spend time together out in the<br />
fresh winter air, walking Harts Creek or<br />
Te Waihora or on the slopes. It’s even<br />
better to come home to the fire and share<br />
experiences with family and friends over<br />
your favourite warm winter meals.<br />
School is back and it’s fantastic to see<br />
the new speed signs installed in our<br />
communities.<br />
This means a safer environment for<br />
our Tamariki getting to and from kura<br />
or school.<br />
It’s an exciting time for Ellesmere.<br />
The adoption of the Long-Term Plan<br />
24-34 means Council’s focus will be on<br />
delivering the new multi-purpose facility<br />
“Whata Rau” for our communities now<br />
and in the future.<br />
Stay safe and warm.<br />
Ma te wa, Shane.<br />
Other recommendations in the report<br />
might see Councils elected for a four-year<br />
term, this would double the amount of<br />
usable time between elections to deliver<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong>. The report also asks Councils<br />
to work together in our regions. Labour<br />
and National have said they won’t be<br />
considering the recommendations until<br />
after the elections, so in the meantime I’ll<br />
be working with our neighbours on issues<br />
we can tackle together.<br />

Census Data Reveals <strong>Selwyn</strong> Story<br />
The first data released from the<br />
2023 cencus continues to tell<br />
the story of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
as a fast-growing, young and<br />
diversifying district.<br />
Between 2018 and 2023<br />
Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> was the fastest<br />
growing district in the country<br />
with dwellings and population<br />
both growing by 29%.<br />
This increase is considerably<br />
outpacing the rate for Aotearoa<br />
New Zealand (6.3%) and Waitaha<br />
Canterbury (8.6%).<br />
Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are<br />
younger, 37.6 years on average,<br />
than those across the country<br />
at 38.1 for all of Aotearoa New<br />
Zealand and 39.1 for Waitaha<br />
Canterbury.<br />
While the population is younger<br />
in general, there is a relatively<br />
low population in the 20-29 age<br />
group with only 10.3% within<br />
this age group, compared to the<br />
Aotearoa New Zealand average of<br />
12.9%.<br />
Over 50% of the total population<br />
is under 40 years of age, while<br />
50% of the population of Māori<br />
descent are under 24 years of<br />
age, with a median age of 24.7,<br />
a full 13 years younger than the<br />
total population.<br />
Diversity is growing, as 84.1%<br />
of Waikirikiri <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents<br />
identify as European compared to<br />
89.3% in 2018, and 91.9% in 2013.<br />
Increasing number identify as<br />
Māori (9%), Pacific Peoples<br />
(2.4%), Asian (11.4%) and Middle<br />
Eastern/Latin American/African<br />
(1.5%).<br />

Last month’s June recipient<br />
was Springs Ward resident<br />
Lois Thomas.<br />
Anyone who know Lois recognises<br />
her as a tireless volunteer who<br />
has given her time to many<br />
past and current organisations.<br />
She is a committee member<br />
on the Liffey Lifestyle Village<br />
body corporate and its local<br />
Civil Defence co-ordinator; This<br />
role is in association with her<br />
participation in Lincoln’s Civil<br />
Response Team under “<strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
As a committee member of the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> Lions and alongside<br />
fellow members she helps<br />
fundraise for community projects<br />
through hosting events such as<br />
“Designs and Desserts”; “Show<br />
your Support”, a bra decoration<br />
competition for Breast Cancer<br />
and undertaking various catering<br />
engagements.<br />
While Lois has recently stepped<br />
aside from her role as a volunteer<br />
co-ordinator of the Springston<br />
Enviro Community Garden,<br />
a project she is most proud of is<br />
the installation of the “pataka kai”<br />
vege barrow located at the school<br />
gate where you can purchase local<br />
grown produce with the proceeds<br />
being returned to the garden.<br />

RŪNANGA VOTE THE LATEST TWIST IN GREENPARK SAGA<br />
Iwi members<br />
could escape<br />
huts eviction<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
NGĀI TAHU has been asked<br />
to allow iwi members to stay at<br />
Greenpark Huts – but others who<br />
live there will still be forced to go.<br />
The move comes from<br />
Taumutu Rūnanga which wants<br />
Ngāi Tahu to reconsider its<br />
controversial decision to evict all<br />
of the 32 bach owners who have<br />
to leave by June 30 next year.<br />
The rūnanga’s council voted<br />
11-10 to ask Ngāi Tahu to allow<br />
the five iwi bach owners at the<br />
huts to stay.<br />
The rūnanga’s chair Dr Liz<br />
Brown did not respond to<br />
questions from <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
Questions included the motive<br />
for the decision, and why only<br />
Ngāi Tahu bach owners were<br />
included in the recommendation.<br />
Ngāi<br />
Tahu interim<br />
chief executive<br />
Ben Bateman<br />
said it was still<br />
considering<br />
Taumutu’s<br />
recommendation.<br />
He did not give a Liz Brown<br />
timeframe of how<br />
long it would take.<br />
In 2020, Ngāi Tahu told bach<br />
owners they would have to go<br />
by June 30 this year because of<br />
unconsented waste water systems,<br />
climate change concerns, and<br />
it wanted to protect the area of<br />
cultural significance.<br />
Several weeks before the date,<br />
Ngāi Tahu gave residents another<br />
year to allow them more time.<br />
In June, <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> revealed<br />
Ngāi Tahu was to establish a<br />
mahinga kai centre of excellence<br />
on the site, surprising bach<br />
owners. Ngāi Tahu has revealed<br />
few details about the centre<br />
including its size, location, and<br />
timeline for its construction.<br />
Bach owners will be responsible<br />
for the demolition of their huts.<br />
But in a twist, <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> can<br />
now reveal Ngāi Tahu will pay<br />
for the demolition if bach owners<br />
sign an agreement by October<br />
30. If bach owners do that, they<br />
effectively lock themselves into<br />
leaving by June 30 next year.<br />
Bach owner Kane Scarrott said<br />
it was “scare tactics’’.<br />
“It’s holding people at ransom.<br />
Either sign here shut up and go or<br />
pay to get rid of your place.<br />
“When they rang me, I told<br />
them it was scare tactics.”<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />
“ABSOLUTELY over the moon.”<br />
That’s what Ellesmere College<br />
board of trustees presiding<br />
member Vanessa-Amy<br />
Greenwood said about the<br />
school’s redevelopment finally<br />
getting under way next week.<br />
The project had been<br />
announced in 2019, but there<br />
was uncertainty as to whether it<br />
would go ahead.<br />
Last May, the Ministry of<br />
Education revealed unstable land<br />
had caused the expected budget<br />
of the redevelopment to go from<br />
$30 million to $63 million.<br />
It also said the project would<br />
have to be done in stages, which<br />
meant it wouldn’t be completed<br />
until at least 2028.<br />
Ellesmere College was also<br />
waiting on final consent from<br />
the council, which contributed to<br />
further delays.<br />
Greenwood said the first stage<br />
of the redevelopment, storm<br />
water enabling works, will begin<br />
next Friday.<br />
She said the school is thrilled<br />
they’ve made it through the final<br />
hoop to get the build under way.<br />
“We’re absolutely over the<br />
moon that it’s finally happening<br />
and that our students are finally<br />
going to get a school that is worthy<br />
of them.”<br />
The project is a redevelopment<br />
of the entire school.<br />
Once completed, it will<br />
have new learning hubs, an<br />
administration building and an<br />
auditorium.<br />
Greenwood said the gymnasium<br />
will also be redone.<br />
The final budget and end date<br />
are still undecided, as it has to go<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Students ‘finally going to<br />
get a school worthy of them’<br />
GO-AHEAD: The redevelopment of Ellesmere College is getting under way next week.<br />
back to Cabinet.<br />
The construction stage is<br />
expected to begin at the end of<br />
this year or the beginning of<br />
2025.<br />
The learning hubs will be completed<br />
first, which Greenwood<br />
said is expected to be in two<br />
years’ time.<br />
The rebuild comes as Rolleston<br />
is set to get another primary<br />
school.<br />
Rolleston South Primary<br />
School will open in 2026 and<br />
have an initial roll of 250.<br />
It will have design capacity for<br />
700, with the potential to expand<br />
further to accommodate 1000<br />
pupils.<br />
The ministry will be<br />
calling for nominations<br />
for an establishment board<br />
for Rolleston South. When<br />
appointed, the board will work<br />
with the community to develop<br />
the vision and values for the<br />
school and determine how it<br />
operates.<br />

Bus closure prompts<br />
meeting on user needs<br />
Rūnanga vote<br />
• By Isabella Adams<br />
A COMMUNITY meeting<br />
will be held to discuss public<br />
transport options for the wider<br />
Southbridge area.<br />
Enviro Ellesmere is hosting the<br />
meeting in response to Environment<br />
Canterbury axing the No 87<br />
bus route between Southbridge<br />
and Lincoln in June.<br />
The meeting will be held at Leeston<br />
Library at 6pm on August 8.<br />
The intention is to identify<br />
the community’s transportation<br />
needs. Suggestions will then be<br />
presented to ECan at a later date.<br />
Enviro Ellesmere’s Jade Arnold<br />
hopes the meeting will establish<br />
just how necessary public transport<br />
is for residents in the area.<br />
“I’ve spoken to a lot of people, a<br />
lot of workers that have said they<br />
actually want an earlier bus and<br />
then many workers want a later<br />
bus. Many retired folk would like<br />
to be able to use their gold card,<br />
so they don’t really want to have<br />
to go at 6.30am in the morning,”<br />
she said.<br />
Gold cards can only be used<br />
after 9am.<br />
In a previous statement, ECan<br />
public transport general manager<br />
Stewart Gibbon said they worked<br />
closely with the community to<br />
give the trial of the route every<br />
opportunity for success.<br />
ECan attributed the route’s<br />
closure to lack of passengers.<br />
Arnold hopes a meeting with<br />
ECan at a later date will answer<br />
outstanding questions from the<br />
community.<br />
“(Gibbon) says that he engaged<br />
with the community or he gave<br />
the community every chance, but<br />
I really don’t see any evidence<br />
of that. So my question to him<br />
would be, what engagement did<br />
you actually do? Who did you<br />
talk to? Which groups?”<br />
Ellesmere Ward councillor<br />
Elizabeth Mundt is hoping to<br />
attend the meeting.<br />
She believes all public transport<br />
options were not adequately<br />
explored when trialling the 87<br />
route.<br />
“I feel that they (ECan) haven’t<br />
gone about the whole process in<br />
the right way.<br />
“By first installing the buses<br />
without a community decision<br />
and the community input, and<br />
then removing them again<br />
without the community input.<br />
“There is always a solution to<br />
every problem in my opinion<br />
and we just need to find the right<br />
one that meets the targets for<br />
everybody.”<br />
Mundt hopes<br />
this meeting<br />
will be the start<br />
of developing<br />
a better public<br />
transport service<br />
for the area.<br />
“We need to<br />
ascertain the<br />
preferences of<br />
the community<br />
Elizabeth<br />
Mundt<br />
of what they need, what they will<br />
use and what is affordable.<br />
“Hopefully the group can<br />
come up with ideas and solutions<br />
because there are lots of different<br />
options. We don’t have to just<br />
have the standard status quo, we<br />
might find better solutions and<br />
more affordable cost-effective<br />
measures.”<br />
prompted by<br />
bach owner<br />
• From page 1<br />
Scarrott said he expected<br />
residents to not sign on and just<br />
leave the huts and not pay for the<br />
demolition.<br />
“People will just walk away.”<br />
Bach owner Don Brown, who<br />
is Ngāi Tahu, went to Taumutu<br />
and asked for iwi members to<br />
be allowed to stay at<br />
Greenpark Huts, which<br />
led the rūnanga to hold<br />
the vote.<br />
Brown has a centuriesold<br />
connection to the<br />
area. He traces his<br />
whakapapa back to<br />
pre-Ngāi Tahu Ngati<br />
Māmoe and Waitaha, iwi<br />
which used the lake as<br />
a valuable food source 400-500<br />
years ago.<br />
He has lived in his current<br />
bach on-and-off for 30 years.<br />
“I felt confident Taumutu<br />
rūnanga were supportive of my<br />
continued occupation,” he said.<br />
In March, Brown told <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
<strong>Times</strong> he would not be leaving<br />
Don Brown<br />
and said he was considering<br />
taking legal action.<br />
“My son and I are looking at<br />
where to from here.<br />
“We’re fishermen, we’re<br />
not lawyers or have any legal<br />
experience.’’<br />
Scarrott said legal action<br />
would follow if Ngāi Tahu<br />
residents were able to stay<br />
while others were evicted.<br />
“There would definitely<br />
be legal action,” Scarrott<br />
said.<br />
Scarrott was unaware<br />
of the Taumutu vote until<br />
told by <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong>.<br />
“I did hear a whisper<br />
there was a vote but I did<br />
not know it was only Ngāi<br />
Tahu residents,” Scarrot said.<br />
Another bach owner Ross<br />
Wilson was unsure if he would<br />
take legal action but said if Ngāi<br />
Tahu granted the Taumutu<br />
request, others probably would.<br />
“It would open it right up. It’s<br />
something I’d have to consider if<br />
it was an option,” Wilson said.<br />

Relief for residents as evictions on hold<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
KIRRILY FEA had tears in her<br />
eyes when councillors voted to hit<br />
pause on the Upper <strong>Selwyn</strong> Huts<br />
eviction process.<br />
Councillors unanimously voted<br />
at their meeting last week to give<br />
residents 10 more months to<br />
argue their case to stay. They were<br />
previously facing removal from<br />
their homes by June 30, 2039,<br />
with little consultation.<br />
But residents fought back, saying<br />
the initial council consultation<br />
process was flawed – which<br />
cost them more than $10,000 in<br />
legal fees.<br />
Fea has been living at the huts<br />
since 2019 and thought it would<br />
be her forever home.<br />
She said the new approach is<br />
the best outcome.<br />
“It has been a huge relief, I had<br />
tears in my eyes. This was the best<br />
outcome we could have hoped for.<br />
“We feel the council are really<br />
wanting to collaborate with us<br />
now and they accept this is a high<br />
significance level that requires<br />
full collaboration,” Fea told the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> after the meeting.<br />
Councillors voted in favour<br />
of six recommendations, which<br />
included pausing the current<br />
process and extending the<br />
current deed of licence – due to<br />
expire on September 30, <strong>2024</strong> –<br />
to <strong>July</strong> 1, 2025, with the council<br />
using the additional 10 months to<br />

in the hut she has lived in since 2019.<br />

engage with the huts community<br />
and potentially set a new eviction<br />
date.<br />
Fea said the whole process had<br />
been very stressful.<br />
“It affects your mental health<br />
and it affects it permanently so<br />
this stress will not leave me for<br />
the rest of my life.<br />
“Their (residents) mental health<br />
has suffered. They have literally<br />
been coming up to me saying<br />
they were terrified. People have<br />
been crying, people have not been<br />
going to work because the stress<br />
is too much.”<br />
Legal pressure and more<br />
than 200 queries and Official<br />
Information Act requests from<br />
residents to council have now<br />
forced its hand.<br />
Prior to the council vote, Fea<br />
and the residents’ barrister Clare<br />
Lenihan presented to councillors<br />
laying out concerns which<br />
included the future being finite<br />
and proposed hut inspections.<br />
“We note the finite decision<br />
made back in March as well as<br />
the inspection programme have<br />
not been included in the scope for<br />
this extended consultation.<br />
“We believe all issues should be<br />
included in this collaboration,”<br />
Fea told councillors.<br />
Whether the finite period<br />
will be reconsidered was not<br />
discussed, but council executive<br />
director enabling services Tim<br />
Harris said the inspection<br />
programme was about ensuring<br />
the safety of residents.<br />
Harris said the consultation<br />
will cover a range of issues<br />
including the future timeline<br />
for hut occupation, the potential<br />
for a district-wide rate and<br />
compensation for residents.<br />
Lenihan said a draft report<br />
conducted by Underground<br />
Overground Archaeology said<br />
the huts should be protected.<br />
The residents have previously<br />
tried to get the settlement<br />
heritage listed but failed. Heritage<br />
New Zealand has yet to consider<br />
the application.<br />

Not all in<br />
favour of<br />
new ward<br />
structure<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
SEVERAL councillors are<br />
concerned for the future of<br />
the rural voice in a new ward<br />
structure.<br />
It comes as district councillors<br />
approved a new eight-councillor<br />
four-ward option, with no<br />
community boards, to go out for<br />
public consultation next week.<br />
The decision was not<br />
unanimous, with Springs Ward<br />
councillor Debra Hasson,<br />
Ellesmere Ward councillor<br />
Elizabeth Mundt and Malvern<br />
Ward councillors Bob Mugford<br />
and Lydia Gliddon voting<br />
against it.<br />
Under the proposal, Ellesmere<br />
and Malvern wards would drop<br />
to one councillor from two,<br />
while West Melton would join<br />
the Springs<br />
Ward, all to<br />
balance the<br />
number of<br />
people each<br />
councillor<br />
represents to<br />
plus or minus 10<br />
per cent of the<br />
population.<br />
It was the<br />
recommended option from<br />
the representation review<br />
Debra<br />
Hasson<br />
committee, which is made up<br />
of councillors, the mayor, a<br />
Malvern Community Board<br />
representative, and a youth<br />
council representative.<br />
Mundt, Mugford, and Gliddon<br />
were worried about what the<br />
proposal would mean for their<br />
wards.<br />
Said Mundt: “I’m concerned<br />
about the rural representation<br />
with the changes because<br />
obviously this is based solely on<br />
population rather than distance<br />
travelled.”<br />
Mugford<br />
called the<br />
proposal “a bit<br />
of an insult,”<br />
saying if it was<br />
going to work<br />
they would<br />
need support<br />
from other<br />
councillors.<br />
Gliddon said the extra<br />
Bob<br />
Mugford<br />
workload would be unbalanced.<br />
Hasson voted against the<br />
proposal after failing to get an<br />
amendment passed. As part of<br />
the consultation process, the<br />
amendment would have asked<br />
the public if they supported<br />
community<br />
boards in all<br />
four wards<br />
rather than<br />
recommending<br />
the<br />
disestablishment<br />
of the Malvern<br />
Community<br />
Board.<br />
Prior to the<br />
voting, Malvern community<br />
Lydia<br />
Gliddon<br />
board member Calvin Payne and<br />
chair Bruce Russell presented to<br />
the councillors, asking them to<br />
retain the board.<br />
“We do not support either<br />
of the current options in the<br />
preliminary consultation as we<br />
do not believe either provides<br />
elected representation in <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
District, in particular for our<br />
rural wards,” Payne said.<br />
He said the only way to keep<br />
effective representation would be<br />
to retain the board.<br />
Meanwhile, Environment<br />
Canterbury is proposing <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
gets its own regional council<br />
constituency. ECan voted 9-7 in<br />
favour, with the proposal going<br />
out to public consultation.<br />
Currently, <strong>Selwyn</strong> is part of<br />
Mid-Canterbury but <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s<br />
population growth has pushed<br />
it outside the population<br />
requirements of plus or minus 10<br />
per cent (plus 24.07 per cent).<br />
If the proposal gets the green<br />
light, <strong>Selwyn</strong> would get two<br />
ECan councillors.<br />
ECan is expected to consult on<br />
the proposal next month.<br />
The district council’s<br />
consultation will run for five<br />
weeks from August 8.<br />

Push for public submissions on<br />
new organics processing plant<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
SELWYN’S DEPUTY mayor<br />
Malcolm Lyall wants people to<br />
have a chance to oppose a major<br />
organics processing plant.<br />
Ecogas has lodged a resource<br />
consent application with<br />
the Christchurch<br />
City Council and<br />
Environment<br />
Canterbury for its<br />
organics processing<br />
plant in Hornby, about<br />
two kilometres from<br />
Prebbleton, which will<br />
replace the troubled<br />
Bromley facility in mid-<br />
2026.<br />
The proposed plant would<br />
be built on Aruhe Rd, a heavy<br />
industrial-zoned area.<br />
Because of the zoning, there<br />
is a possibility only direct<br />
neighbours of the plant will be<br />
able to submit.<br />
Both councils are currently<br />
processing the application and<br />
are expected to decide whether<br />
LINCOLN University’s end-ofyear<br />
Garden Party will make a<br />
comeback after a battle to get its<br />
special licence approved.<br />
The event, which is run by the<br />
Lincoln University Students’<br />
Association and celebrates<br />
the end of lectures, has had a<br />
tumultuous few years.<br />
It was cancelled in 2021 due to<br />
concerns with Covid-19, while<br />
last year’s attempt to rebrand it<br />
as the ‘Lawn Party’ and exclude<br />
Canterbury University students<br />
lead to another cancellation due<br />
to low ticket sales.<br />
LUSA’s application for a<br />
special licence had initially<br />
been opposed by police, but that<br />
was withdrawn after multiple<br />
meetings with the association to<br />
discuss police concerns.<br />
Malcolm<br />
Lyall<br />
it will be open for public<br />
submissions by late August.<br />
Lyall said he would be<br />
disappointed if it wasn’t.<br />
Prebbleton Community<br />
Association chair Jane Elms<br />
agreed with Lyall.<br />
“There is certainly a feeling<br />
people want to have<br />
their say, which I think<br />
is important in the<br />
process,” said Elms.<br />
Lyall called on ECan<br />
to learn from past<br />
experiences. In 2020,<br />
Waste Management<br />
applied for resource<br />
consent to operate<br />
a hazardous waste<br />
treatment and stabilisation plant<br />
at Marshs Rd, with only people<br />
with properties 500m from the<br />
plant allowed to submit.<br />
“We have 5000 people living<br />
in this community and to not<br />
notify it publicly would be very,<br />
very disappointing, and I’d hope<br />
that ECan learnt from the fiasco<br />
that was last time,” said Lyall.<br />
In the original alcohol<br />
management plan, LUSA<br />
requested a four-drink serve,<br />
which means attendees could<br />
order four drinks at a time when<br />
at the bar.<br />
It has been moderated to a<br />
two-drink serve, a recommendation<br />
by the Medical Officer of<br />
Health.<br />
The party will be held on October<br />
18 on campus grounds.<br />
LUSA will host a public<br />
PLAN: An artist’s impression of the Ecogas processing plant, expected to open in 2026.<br />
Elms was part of a trip, along<br />
with city council staff and<br />
community representatives to<br />
Ecogas’s two North Island plants.<br />
“As you walked around the<br />
building there were different<br />
spots where you could smell<br />
Garden Party gets green light<br />
meeting to discuss its<br />
community impact mitigation<br />
plan, developed by the<br />
association, Lincoln University<br />
and key stake holders.<br />
The meeting will be held from<br />
5.30-6.30pm tomorrow in the<br />
Stewart Building at the university.<br />
The community is welcome to<br />
share their feedback and suggest<br />
additional ideas that may not yet<br />
be included in the plan.<br />
what they were processing at that<br />
point in time, like when they<br />
opened the door for a truck to<br />
come, but the smell dissipated<br />
quickly,” Elms said.<br />
An Ecogas spokesperson said<br />
it would be up to the councils<br />
to decide how the consent was<br />
notified.<br />
The spokesperson said it was<br />
committed to delivering the<br />
facility in a timely manner, and<br />
to ongoing dialogue with the<br />
local community.<br />
Swing dancers contributed to a fun night at the<br />
Ellesmere Big Band concert on Saturday. Fifty people<br />
went along for a night of music from the ‘40s to ‘80s,<br />
performed by the 18-member band. Band member<br />
Alex Haywood said they were pleased with the<br />
turnout. Swingtown Rebels, a swing dance group<br />
from Christchurch, provided extra entertainment. “We<br />
let them know that we were playing at Rolleston and<br />
they came out and contributed to the evening very<br />
well,” he said.<br />

THE HORORĀTĀ Hall, an<br />
integral part of the area since<br />
1890, is returning to community<br />
ownership.<br />
Following discussions<br />
between the Hororātā<br />
Community Trust and the<br />
council, the title of the hall and<br />
adjacent land has officially been<br />
transferred to the trust.<br />
The transfer of ownership<br />
means the trust will now bear<br />
all costs related to the hall’s<br />
operation and make all future<br />
decisions for the facility.<br />
Previously, the council<br />
was responsible for the hall’s<br />
ownership and covered all<br />
repair, maintenance, and<br />
operational costs.<br />
The decision was confirmed<br />
in the council’s Annual Plan<br />
2022/23.<br />
As per the Long-Term<br />
Plan 2021/<strong>31</strong>, the council has<br />
allocated $1 million in funding<br />
(less legal costs incurred) to be<br />
transferred to the trust.<br />
Deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall<br />
said he was enthusiastic about<br />
transferring ownership of the<br />
hall.<br />
“It is great (the hall) will be<br />
restored and nurtured and<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
become an even greater asset for<br />
the local community.”<br />
Trust chief executive officer<br />
Cindy Driscoll said the group<br />
was grateful for the work of the<br />
council to allow the deal to take<br />
place.<br />
She said the historic hall now<br />
had a bright future.<br />
“Now is the time to not just<br />
add to or renovate the Hororātā<br />
Hall but reimagine and<br />
repurpose it to stand the test of<br />
time while honouring its history<br />
and architectural heritage.<br />
“While we plan for the next<br />
12 months, it will be status quo.<br />
The hall will be available for<br />
hire and community use. We<br />
will work with existing hall<br />
users and welcome new groups<br />
or businesses to be part of this<br />
project,” Driscoll said.<br />
To get in contact with the<br />
trust to make bookings at the<br />
hall, email info@hororata.org.nz<br />
• On Saturday, August<br />
17, there will be a ‘Pie and<br />
Pint’ night to celebrate<br />
new beginnings for the<br />
Hororātā Hall. This is a free<br />

Quilter sets sights on Houston ‘Olympics’<br />
• By Claire Reid<br />
A ROLLESTON mum is<br />
dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime<br />
trip to the United States after her<br />
hand-made quilt was selected for<br />
the Houston International Quilt<br />
Festival.<br />
Daena Schofield, who has<br />
epilepsy and autism, was<br />
delighted to find out her artwork<br />
– Experiencing Epilepsy – had<br />
been chosen for the juried<br />
exhibition at the USA’s largest<br />
quilt show in October.<br />
“Houston is the absolute<br />
bucket list event to get into.<br />
Getting into Houston is like<br />
getting into the Olympics,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I really didn’t think my<br />
quilt would get selected, but I<br />
decided to submit it anyway. It<br />
was around 3am when I got the<br />
email and I woke my husband up<br />
saying, ‘I’m in! I’m in! I’m in!’”<br />
The quilt is particularly special<br />
to Schofield as she created it to<br />
represent what she feels when<br />
having an epileptic seizure.<br />
“I was diagnosed with epilepsy<br />
when I was five and in 2022, I<br />
thought, ‘how can I show what<br />
its like to have a seizure in a<br />
quilt’,”she said.<br />
“For me, it’s like my brain<br />
is telling me the universe is<br />
exploding. My brain just can’t<br />
process it and I wanted to show<br />
PERSONAL PIECE: Daena Schofield’s quilt Experiencing Epilepsy has won many awards in<br />
New Zealand and will be displayed at a festival in Houston, Texas. PHOTO: ROS TAYLOR<br />
that in this quilt.”<br />
Schofield used pinks and<br />
purples to represent the<br />
explosions she feels during a<br />
seizure with a silhouette of a<br />
woman’s head in profile and<br />
metallic threads to portray brain<br />
activity.<br />
The piece has previously been<br />
displayed in the Canterbury<br />
Patchwork and Quilting<br />
Guild Show where it was<br />
awarded Best Art Quilt and Best<br />
in Show before going on to win<br />
Best Art Quilt at the 2023 Great<br />
New Zealand Quilt Show in<br />
Rotorua.<br />
Now the quilt has arrived in<br />
Houston, Texas, where it will be<br />
showcased against the ‘best of<br />
the best’ and its creator would<br />
love to be there to see it.<br />
Unfortunately, Schofield isn’t<br />
able to self-fund such a trip,<br />
but was encouraged to set up a<br />
fundraiser by her friends in the<br />
quilting community.<br />
“Members of the quilting<br />
community in New Zealand and<br />
Australia – and even in America<br />
– have been getting in touch and<br />
telling me, ‘you need to be in<br />
Houston, you need to be there to<br />
stand next to your work’.<br />
“But because I’m a disabled<br />
artist, and I can’t work, it’s really<br />
difficult,” Schofield said.<br />
“We’re a one-income family.<br />
It’s really, really hard, but I’m<br />
desperate to get to Houston and<br />
represent my work on the world<br />
stage.”<br />
Schofield has since set up a<br />
Givealittle page to try and get<br />
to Houston to see her work on<br />
display.<br />

Young Farmer loving life on the land<br />
Charing Cross dairy<br />
farmer George Dodson<br />
was the winner of<br />
the prestigious Young<br />
Farmer of the Year title.<br />
Reporter Tim Cronshaw<br />
catches up with him<br />
EARLY MORNING starts don’t<br />
faze George Dodson.<br />
Getting up before the sun rises<br />
is part of the job and he finds it<br />
relatively easy to get his head off<br />
the pillow when the alarm rings.<br />
The 22-year-old is secondin-charge<br />
for owner operators<br />
Andrew and Hayley Slater at their<br />
430-cow farm on 113 hectares.<br />
“The early starts aren’t too bad<br />
and I’m pretty used to it now. I’m<br />
not one of those people that needs<br />
a helluva lot of sleep. I suppose if<br />
you are one of those people who<br />
needed that, it’s not well suited for<br />
you, but I’ve just got used to it.”<br />
As for the grind of double daily<br />
milking, he’s at peace with that<br />
too.<br />
“You just sort of zone out and<br />
daydream and listen to music with<br />
a bit of singing and you’ll be right.<br />
The more you focus the harder it<br />
gets I suppose.”<br />
Through the milking season<br />
he’s up at 4am and out the door<br />
getting the cows to the milkshed<br />
with the cups on at 5am.<br />
Milking, followed by the cleanup,<br />
is usually finished by 7.30am<br />
at the 36-bale rotary shed with<br />
cup removers, auto drafting,<br />
feeding and cow manager tags.<br />
“It’s real good, especially if<br />
we are mating as it’s essentially<br />
a one-man operation. Then we<br />
go for breakfast for an hour and<br />
depending who’s on that day, we<br />
might be shifting irrigation.<br />
“We’ve got three Rotorainers<br />
and a few sprinklers so shifting<br />
them around is a few hours. Then<br />
we’ve got a few odd jobs like<br />
setting up breaks and doing the<br />
effluent for an hour or so and then<br />
it’s lunch,” he says.<br />
In the afternoon, more jobs are<br />
ticked off the list before the second<br />
milking with cups on at 2.30pm<br />
and out the shed by 4.40pm if they<br />
are quick, and then it’s one last<br />
check of the cows and irrigators.<br />
BUSY: The working week is a blur for Charing Cross dairy farmer George Dodson who was<br />
recently crowned Young Farmer of the Year.<br />
Ten minutes later he’s back<br />
home and – in theory – can put<br />
his feet up.<br />
The Slaters have been supportive<br />
since he moved to the<br />
high-performing operation just<br />
over a year ago, both on and off<br />
the farm.<br />
Dodson had been managing<br />
a larger farm and wanted to<br />
connect with a farm owner who<br />
was a good operator and got good<br />
output out of his cows.<br />
“Probably Andrew more than<br />
anything [was the reason I came<br />
here]. I was managing 550 cows so<br />
slightly bigger in Southland, but<br />
all my family and friends are up<br />
here so I wanted to come back.<br />
“He was probably the main<br />
reason. I probably could have got<br />
a managing job somewhere, but I<br />
wanted to come work here and for<br />
the opportunities that are going to<br />
come in the future. ”<br />
Usually a relief milker is<br />
employed during the irrigation<br />
season. Otherwise, the pair look<br />
after the operation themselves,<br />
with Hayley managing the calfraising<br />
during this busy stage of<br />
the season.<br />
For someone so young, Dodson<br />
has already built up a strong<br />
resumé of dairying experience.<br />
His latest role follows a stint last<br />
season managing a larger farm of<br />
about 550 cows under the Fortuna<br />
Group in Southland’s Woodlands.<br />
Before that he was on a dairy<br />
farm on the shores of Lake<br />
Ellesmere, near Lincoln, relief<br />
milking initially as a 16-year-old<br />
and progressing his way up from<br />
herd manager to farm manager.<br />
While he’s since gained dairying<br />
qualifications, university was<br />
bypassed.<br />
“I just went straight out as I<br />
don’t like sitting in a classroom or<br />
at a computer. Dairying is definitely<br />
very practical and it has lots<br />
of variety. I do like the outdoors,<br />
sometimes more than others.”<br />
Dairying is in the blood.<br />
His parents, Fred and Sarah<br />
Dodson, were in an equity<br />
partnership on a Southland farm<br />
before they moved to Rolleston<br />
when he was 11. His father is now<br />
managing a Hororata farm.<br />
Sisters Emma and Grace, one<br />
studying teaching in Dunedin and<br />
the other still at school, pitch in<br />
with farm work in the holidays.<br />
“I was brought up on a farm<br />
until we moved into town when<br />
we came here and I didn’t really<br />
have much to do with farming<br />
until I was 16 and was working on<br />
the same farm near Lincoln.<br />
“I did agriculture at school, but<br />
never really thought it was going<br />
to be the path for me, but sort of<br />
ended up falling into it after high<br />
school. It’s good diversity and I’ve<br />
learned a lot of skills.”<br />
Never one to sit still for long,<br />
he will restart studies towards<br />
a agribusiness management<br />
diploma that were put on hold for<br />
his Young Farmer title bid.<br />
In the medium- to long-term,<br />
Dodson’s goals are to stay with the<br />
Slaters until the end of the <strong>2024</strong>-<br />
25 season and then he’s keen to go<br />
into a sharemilking partnership<br />
with them on another farm.<br />
The arrangements have yet to<br />
be sorted, but he might run the<br />
sharemilking and put in some<br />
equity into the partnership with<br />
“room to grow”.<br />
Failing that he would like to<br />
progress to contract milking on a<br />
600-800 cow farm.<br />
Yet to invest in his own cows,<br />
he’s put his money elsewhere to<br />
get a good return on investment.<br />
“There’s a bit in the bank. I’m<br />
just sitting on my hands trying to<br />
work out what’s my next move. ”<br />
Mentors he taps into for advice<br />
include the Slaters, his former<br />
Lincoln employer Tony Dodunski<br />
and his father.<br />
They’ve all taken different paths<br />
and this helps him to find his own<br />
middle ground.<br />
Further into the future is the<br />
goal of owning his own farm.<br />
“Hopefully I’d like to get a<br />
family farm of some description<br />
that can be passed down to the<br />
generations and keep the passion<br />
for farming going. ”<br />

Hororātā Hall returns to community ownership<br />
A new stage of life has been confirmed for the<br />
historic Hororātā Hall.<br />
The Council has transferred ownership of the hall<br />
and the adjacent land to the Hororātā Community<br />
Trust, following extensive discussions.<br />
This means the Trust will now bear all costs related<br />
to the hall’s operation and make all future decisions<br />
for this facility, which previously the Council was<br />
responsible for. This decision was confirmed in the<br />
Council’s Annual Plan 2022/23.<br />
As per the Long-Term Plan 2021/<strong>31</strong>, the Council<br />
has allocated $1 million in funding (less legal costs<br />
incurred) to be transferred to the Trust. Deputy<br />
Keeping safe when driving on icy roads<br />
Winter is here and along with chilly weather<br />
and earlier nights, challenging driving conditions<br />
are unfortunately part of the package. It is<br />
important to plan ahead; stay alert; slow down;<br />
and drop back.<br />
When driving in winter, prepare for ice on the road.<br />
Ice can be particularly hazardous in sheltered areas<br />
of the road where it might not thaw during the day,<br />
or after a flurry of snow when it may be thicker.<br />
You may not see it. If you can’t avoid these areas,<br />
go slow on the roads.<br />
To increase your safety you can:<br />
• Increase your following distance so you have<br />
more time to react to other road users.<br />
• Avoid braking suddenly or accelerating rapidly.<br />
• Give your brake pedal a few gentle taps rather<br />
than one hard push to avoid skidding.<br />
• Carry snow chains and put them on your<br />
vehicle when necessary.<br />
• Check the weather before driving. If it<br />
looks particularly bad, avoid driving.<br />
Mayor Malcolm Lyall says he is enthusiastic about<br />
transferring ownership of the historic hall.<br />
“It is great that it will be restored and nurtured<br />
and become an even greater asset for the local<br />
community.”<br />
Hororātā Community Trust Executive Officer Cindy<br />
Driscoll says they are excited to be custodians of the<br />
hall, to work with the community and reimagine and<br />
repurpose the hall to stand the test of time, while<br />
honouring its history and architectural heritage.<br />
To get in contact with the Trust to make bookings<br />
at the hall, please email info@hororata.org.nz<br />
It’s important to make sure the tyres on your<br />
vehicle are appropriately inflated, have plenty of<br />
tread and are fitted correctly. Tell somebody else<br />
where you are going, so they can check on you<br />
and raise the alarm if something happens.<br />
Prepare an emergency kit for your car, include a<br />
warm blanket, long-life food, bottled water and<br />
a torch, in case you get stuck and emergency<br />
services can’t reach you quickly.<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> communities to have<br />
their say on new proposed<br />
representation model<br />
The Council has approved a proposal to go<br />
out for consultation to change the make-up<br />
of the council and its wards to better reflect<br />
the population.<br />
The proposal largerly keeps the same ward<br />
boundaries, but the number of councillors<br />
would be reduced from 10 to eight, with the<br />
Malvern and Ellesmere Wards moving to one<br />
councillor, with three councillors each for the<br />
Rolleston and Springs Wards. It also proposes<br />
a model without Community Boards.<br />
The proposal was agreed upon after extensive<br />
research and consultation among <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
communities and aims to ensure fair and<br />
effective representation at the 2025 local<br />
government elections.<br />
A preliminary consultation held in April invited<br />
the community to suggest new names for<br />
the wards. Based on the feedback and in<br />
conjunction with the Rūnaka, names reflecting<br />
the area’s history and landmarks have been<br />
proposed: Tawera Malvern Ward, Kā Mānia<br />
Rolleston Ward, Te Waihora Ellesmere Ward,<br />
and Kā Puna Springs Ward.<br />
The proposal will be out for people’s feedback<br />
from 8 August to 12 September <strong>2024</strong>.<br />

DARFIELD HAVE completed<br />
a Coleman Shield campaign of<br />
two halves by lifting the trophy<br />
for the second time in the club’s<br />
history.<br />
The 25-14 win over Prebbleton<br />
on Saturday at Kirwee Domain<br />
sealed a turnaround from their<br />
first four games of the campaign<br />
– which they lost, before winning<br />
their last three regular-season<br />
games in a row to take the fourth<br />
and final semi-final spot.<br />
There, they upset previouslyunbeaten<br />
Waihora away from<br />
home before tipping up defending<br />
champions Prebbleton in the<br />
final.<br />
Head coach Chris Lea said he<br />
never stopped believing in his<br />
side.<br />
“There’s no lack of heart in the<br />
boys. You’re playing a final every<br />
week, so we knew we had to be<br />
on for those five games. It was<br />
in our own hands and the boys<br />
did that and I was pretty proud<br />
of how they worked over the last<br />
five or six weeks.”<br />
Lea said his side’s defence won<br />
them the game.<br />
“It was a typical final, it was<br />
pretty tight, a bit of a dogfight.<br />
First provincial match for Foster Park<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
THE ROLLESTON Rugby Club<br />
is gearing up to host its first ever<br />
provincial match at Foster Park.<br />
Canterbury will play Otago in<br />
a pre-season match on Friday at<br />
2.05pm, before the NPC gets under<br />
way the following Saturday.<br />
But the match has already been<br />
hit with complications.<br />
When inspecting the field last<br />
week, Canterbury Rugby officials<br />
found Foster Park’s No 1 pitch in<br />
poor condition and unfit to hold<br />
the game. It has now been moved<br />
to the No 2 field.<br />
Rolleston president Nicky<br />
Ruki said it was a disappointing<br />
“I reckon that’s what won us<br />
the game, our defence, but (it<br />
was) just a typical arm wrestle.”<br />
He hailed one moment – with<br />
the team leading 18-14 with five<br />
minutes to play but defending<br />
their own line – as key to victory.<br />
“We’d led most of the game,”<br />
said Lea.<br />
“Then they were hot on attack,<br />
but we ended up turning it over<br />
and scoring at the other end.<br />
“We got a couple of penalties<br />
and kicked down there and<br />
scored, so that turned the game.”<br />
Darfield captain Harrison<br />
Groundwater said the game-plan<br />
was simple – keep Prebbleton in<br />
their own half.<br />
“We just wanted to play down<br />
their end.<br />
“We didn’t want to give away<br />
penalties deep in our half so it<br />
was just trying to stay down their<br />
end, capitalise and take points<br />
when we could.<br />
“Otherwise they’re a pretty<br />
good attacking team, we knew<br />
that if they got down our end<br />
they could turn it into points.”<br />
Groundwater said this triumph<br />
meant more than their 2022<br />
win – their first in history.<br />
“This one was a bit more special,<br />
looking at where we’d come<br />
outcome for the club.<br />
“They (Canterbury Rugby)<br />
have come and looked at the<br />
field and, even though we haven’t<br />
trained or played on it for about<br />
five weeks, the rain has just absolutely<br />
annihilated it.<br />
“From our point of view, it’s<br />
really disappointing that our<br />
field is not up to scratch for the<br />
game, so they have to move it to<br />
2.”<br />
Ruki said not having the match<br />
on the No 1 field meant a worse<br />
viewing experience, and more<br />
logistics for the club. A generator<br />
would probably be needed to<br />
run scoreboards, while sponsors<br />
would have to watch the game<br />
from, qualifying fourth, then to<br />
get that result just showed how<br />
tight-knit as a group we are, playing<br />
for each other and the community,<br />
and we gave ourselves a<br />
highlight on Saturday.”<br />
Prebbleton did claim three<br />
other titles on finals day, with<br />
their division 2, division 3 and<br />
colts teams winning their competitions.<br />
It was their second-successive<br />
colts title, but the women’s<br />
team joined the men’s in failing<br />
to defend the title they won<br />
last year, going down 32-10 to<br />
Springston.<br />

She said the club was still<br />

“Everyone’s really pumped, a<br />
lot of us are taking the day off<br />
work because we want to make<br />
sure that it’s perfect, because we<br />

‘Bloody epic’: Twins’<br />
second title thrill<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
TWINS LANCE and Kieran<br />
Meikle are celebrating their<br />
second Coleman Shield title<br />
together for Darfield, playing a<br />
big part in win.<br />
Lance, a halfback, scored with<br />
five minutes to go to stretch the<br />
Ducks’ lead out beyond seven<br />
points.<br />
He said it was special for the<br />
pair to go from junior rugby<br />
to Coleman Shield titles.<br />
“It was bloody epic, couldn’t<br />
think of a better person to play<br />
alongside than with your twin<br />
brother, it’s pretty cool,” said<br />
Lance.<br />
The 28-year-olds were able to<br />
celebrate together after Lance’s<br />
try, with wing Kieran gripping<br />
his brother’s jersey and screaming<br />
into the crowd (pictured).<br />
“I didn’t even know there was a<br />
camera there,” said Kieran.<br />
“Just the crowd, they were just<br />
yelling and screaming and there<br />
was a whole lot of bloody supporters.<br />
It was just, yeah, I don’t<br />
know, in the moment.”<br />
The brothers were a part of the<br />
Darfield team which won the<br />
club’s first-ever Ellesmere title in<br />
2022. Kieran said being able to<br />
take their second trophy so soon<br />
afterwards meant a lot.<br />
“We lost a lot of finals over the<br />
last 100 years and then won it in<br />
‘22, (but I) never thought we’d<br />
actually get our hands back on it,<br />
to be fair.<br />
“We’re a team of battlers and<br />
I guess we just keep punching<br />
above our weight, get the job<br />
done.”<br />
Wightman added to NZ team<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> runner Cooper Wightman has been called<br />
up to represent New Zealand at the junior world<br />
championships in Peru. Wightman, 16, was a reserve<br />
for the squad when it was named in May, but has been<br />
added to the team to compete next month, running<br />
in the 1500m. He recently medalled in both the 800m<br />
and 1500m at the U18 Oceania Championships in Fiji<br />
in June, winning silver in both.<br />
Douglas holds own at Silverstone<br />
Motor racing driver Jacob Douglas has made a solid start to his<br />
GB3 championship career in his debut race weekend at Silverstone.<br />
Competing at the iconic English racetrack, Douglas, from Lincoln,<br />
finished 17th, 19th and 16th in his first three races for team Chris<br />
Dittmann Racing. Fellow Cantabrian Louis Sharp took the lead in the<br />
championship, with two second-place finishes across the weekend.<br />
The next race weekend is at Doningon Park in England, from<br />
September 7-8.

a 1969 replica MG TA car while visiting<br />
England.<br />
It all started with a lunch outing and<br />
a drive through Oxfordshire, England.<br />
Chrissy couldn’t take her eyes off a<br />
unique-looking car at Judds Garage,<br />
Woodleys, Woodstock. After a test drive,<br />
she decided that this was the car for her.<br />
Despite numerous obstacles, navigating<br />
red tape, dealing with unhelpful service,<br />
and issues with removing it from the<br />
docks, determined Chrissy managed to<br />
bring the vehicle to New Zealand.<br />
The replica is based on the MG TA,<br />
the first model in the MG T-type series<br />

No regrets about buying an MG TA replica<br />
PHOTO: ADVANCED UPHOLSTERY<br />
of open two-seater sports cars produced<br />
from 1936 to 1940. The MG TA was a<br />
popular pre-war sports car known for<br />
its famous radiator design, swept wings,<br />
running boards, folding windscreen, and<br />
large, foldable, accessible bonnet with<br />
side curtains.<br />
Since purchasing the car, Chrissy<br />
has maintained it in its original 1969<br />
condition. However, bringing it up to<br />
New Zealand certification standards<br />
required a lot of verification and<br />
installing higher taillights, a new steering<br />
rod, and seatbelt anchors. She has also<br />
replaced the canopy due to yellowing<br />
windows. After receiving numerous<br />
referrals from other car owners, this work<br />
was done by local experts Sue and Brian<br />
from Advanced Upholstery in Darfield,<br />
known for their outstanding reputation.<br />
Chrissy’s partner has also used them for<br />
his boat and camper home. Bridgestone<br />
Rolleston’s fantastic service was also<br />
appreciated when they came to her aid<br />
when the car had tyre issues on the drive<br />
to Advanced Upholstery. They were<br />
surprised with the vehicle’s toolkit, which<br />
included a quirky wooden tool to remove<br />
unusually shaped nuts on the wheel.<br />
The unique and sporty look of MG<br />
TA makes it stand out. With a navy<br />
blue paint job and orange wheel spokes,<br />
the car is an eye-catcher. After a run to<br />
Kaikoura, Chrissy left a store to find a<br />
couple sitting in the MG. She was happy<br />
to take their photo with them sitting in<br />
it. Another car run to Akaroa saw a man<br />
showing intense interest in the vehicle.<br />
After Chrissy approached him and<br />
PHOTO: ADVANCED<br />
UPHOLSTERY<br />
chatted, she found out that he was from<br />
England and that he also had one back<br />
home.<br />
Chrissy says the car drives like a<br />
dream and is a top-notch performer. She<br />
confirms she has no regrets about buying<br />
the vehicle and has a list of people who<br />
want to be first in line if she wants to sell<br />
it. This stunning replica is used during<br />
car rallies and to carry Chrissy in style<br />
during Sunday outings to enjoy a quiet<br />
drink and catch up with others.<br />

Dashboard warning lights<br />
There seem to be two camps when<br />
it comes to seeing warning lights flash<br />
up on your car’s dashboard. The first<br />
group tends to ignore the warning lights,<br />
thinking, “I’ll deal with that later” or<br />
“The car is driving fine, so it must be a<br />
mistake.” The second group realises the<br />
warning light is important and indicates<br />
the car’s health. They immediately<br />
arrange for the vehicle to be booked<br />
into an automotive shop for assessment.<br />
Rolleston Diesel & Petrols is a local<br />
automotive business with the expertise<br />
and experience to ensure your petrol or<br />
diesel vehicle runs at its best.<br />
Your vehicle’s dashboard warning<br />
lights are important indicators that<br />
prompt servicing may be needed.<br />
Ignoring these signals can lead to serious<br />
consequences, including safety concerns<br />
and costly repairs. The warning lights<br />
come in various colours and symbols,<br />
each representing a specific issue. Here<br />
is a guide to help you understand and<br />
respond to several warnings.<br />
Check Engine Light/ Malfunction<br />
Indicator Lamp: This indicates a<br />
problem with the engine or emissions<br />
system. While it may only mean a loose<br />
petrol cap, it could indicate a serious<br />
engine issue. If your light flashes on and<br />
off, pull over as soon as you can and call<br />
for assistance—don’t risk continuing to<br />
drive in that instance.<br />
Battery Warning Light/ Battery<br />
Problem Detected: This light alerts you<br />
to a malfunction in the charging system<br />
or a weak battery. It’s best to leave your<br />
engine turned off and have an expert<br />
check your vehicle.<br />
Oil Pressure Warning Light: This is<br />
generally not a light to ignore or put<br />
off being checked. As it indicates low<br />
oil pressure, you could cause potential<br />
engine damage if ignored.<br />
Brake System Warning Light: This<br />
light alerts you to issues with the braking<br />
system, such as low brake fluid or worn<br />
brake pads.<br />
Diesel Pre-Heat Indicator: If this<br />
light appears when the engine is cold, it<br />
confirms that heating is being activated<br />
to allow the engine to run at an optimal<br />
temperature. However, a flashing light<br />
should be diagnosed.<br />
Regular maintenance, especially<br />
prompted by warning lights, can often<br />
resolve issues before they escalate, saving<br />
you from major repairs and expenses<br />
in the future. Rolleston Diesel & Petrols<br />
offers comprehensive services, including<br />
diagnostics for modern vehicles. They<br />
can quickly diagnose issues when<br />
dashboard lights appear, pinpoint the<br />
exact problem, and make necessary<br />
repairs. With their expertise, they can<br />
promptly address system issues, enhance<br />
vehicle safety, and reduce the risk of<br />
accidents.<br />
Dashboard warning lights are there<br />
for a reason. Address these warnings<br />
by visiting Rolleston Diesel & Petrols,<br />

Tiny SUV packed with pep and personality<br />
The Ignis, along with the new<br />
generation Jimny are the funky,<br />
fun and affordable members of the<br />
otherwise staid Suzuki NZ model<br />
line-up.<br />
They are smallest new SUVs<br />
sold but have giant sized<br />
personalities. Along with the<br />
popular Swift hatch they are<br />
driving the brand’s continuing<br />
strong sales growth here. It seems<br />
us Kiwis love Suzukis and our<br />
loyalty to the brand is rock solid.<br />
One of the main reasons they<br />
are in this enviable position is<br />
down to an appealing mini and<br />
compact urban SUV range. In<br />
today’s world of rising prices<br />
they are affordable new vehicles<br />
people want and are reliable and<br />
cheap to run. This takes on even<br />
greater importance with tougher<br />
economic times ahead.<br />
With a unique design and<br />
trendy, yet slightly retro,<br />
appearance, the Ignis made a<br />
triumphant return in 2016 after<br />
a long absence, having an almost<br />
immediate and positive impact.<br />
With its distinctive SUV looks<br />
and roomy passenger cabin, as<br />
well as sharp pricing, the Ignis<br />
ticks a lot of boxes for those on a<br />
limited new car budget.<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
It instantly gets runs on the<br />
board with its cute front end,<br />
chunky wheel arches and eye<br />
catching angled roofline.<br />
I like how the styling touches<br />
pay homage to previous Suzuki<br />
models from the mists of time.<br />
These include the “C” pillar slits<br />
from the 1970s Giugiaro-designed<br />
Fronte coupe, while the clamshellshaped<br />
bonnet and guard garnish<br />
are a nod to the original 1988<br />
Vitara SUV.<br />
Plenty of smart thinking has<br />
gone into the Ignis. A lot has been<br />
applied to what has been a fairly<br />
dramatic weight loss programme<br />
for this model, lessening the<br />
load on the engine and chassis,<br />
laying the foundations for more<br />
assured handling. Every 100kg<br />
shed, equates to a 5-6 per cent<br />
improvement in fuel efficiency.<br />
Advances in high-tensile steel<br />
manufacturing with fewer welds<br />
and joins, all help the Ignis tip the<br />
scales at a lean 820kg in manual<br />
transmission form and 865kg in<br />
the automatic.<br />
The three-strong model line-up<br />
leads off with the $22,990 GLX<br />
manual, with a $1500 premium<br />
for the automatic. The higher spec<br />
LTD being reviewed here is only<br />
available as an automatic and sells<br />
for $26,500.<br />
A 1.2-litre 4-cylinder, 16-valve<br />
double overhead camshaft engine<br />
is common across all three<br />
models. This multi-point fuel<br />
injected powerplant has variable<br />
valve timing technology and<br />
produces 66kW and 12Nm of<br />
torque at 4400 rpm.<br />
Dualjet engine technology<br />
features twin fuel injectors for<br />
greater fuel economy. Improved<br />
thermal efficiency and lowfriction<br />
technology reduce engine<br />
emissions. It does this brilliantly,<br />
with the manual producing just<br />
107 grams per litre of CO2, and<br />
the automatic slightly more at 114<br />
grams per litre. These figures are<br />
better than several hybrid models,<br />
which cost considerably more<br />
than the humble Ignis.<br />
While these aren’t the<br />
ingredients for fire-breathing<br />
performance, the engine<br />
has sufficient flexibility and<br />
responsiveness to satisfy most<br />
owners without sending their<br />
pulses racing.<br />
Acceleration is lively and the<br />
motor shows far more tenacity<br />
than its modest capacity would<br />
suggest but at higher revs it does<br />
become coarse and lumpy. In<br />
terms of power and torque, the<br />
motor has changed little from<br />
its days in the mini sized 2008<br />
Suzuki Splash. This was good for<br />
69kW of maximum power.<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 6; Handling 6; Build Quality<br />
6; Comfort 5; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for<br />
money: 7; Safety – Not rated.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 6.5<br />
The automatic in the test car<br />
proved smooth and efficient in<br />
lower speed urban driving. At<br />
open road pace it’s less agreeable,<br />
proving slow to kick down under<br />
hard acceleration when you need<br />
that extra burst of power. While<br />
the revs rise appreciably, along<br />
with your hopes for more oomph,<br />
these never materialise.<br />
The 1.0-litre turbo in the<br />
Suzuki Swift hatch would<br />
transform the Ignis, and most<br />
likely the price upwards, and this<br />
would be detrimental to what<br />
is after a vehicle for the costconscious<br />
new vehicle buyer.<br />
The cabin is modern, inviting<br />
and offers a decent amount of<br />
space for a diminutive hatch.<br />
There is plenty of head and<br />
legroom for front and rear<br />
occupants, while good ground<br />
clearance makes it easy to enter<br />
and leave.<br />
An elevated seating position<br />
ensures great all-round visibility.<br />
The LTD includes two individual<br />
sliding and reclining rear seats.<br />
The load area with the rear seats<br />
in use is a handy 271-litres,<br />
extending to 1104-litres with both<br />
folded down.<br />
For such a small car, this one<br />
is big on safety equipment with<br />
electronic stability programme<br />
(ESP), brake assist, six airbags<br />
and side impact beams. CVT<br />
models have hill holding control<br />
and shift lock. Pedestrian<br />
protection is to the fore with extra<br />
shock absorption built into the<br />
bonnet, front wiper area, front<br />
bumper and bonnet lip to reduce<br />
collision impact. A decoupling<br />
mechanism for brake and clutch<br />
pedals, an ISOFIX child seat<br />
restraint system and child seat<br />
tether anchorages are standard.<br />
The LTD is well appointed with<br />
cruise control with speed limiter,<br />
power steering, electric windows<br />
and electrically adjustable door<br />
mirrors. A computer displays<br />
fuel consumption (instantaneous<br />
and average), six-speaker audio<br />
system, Bluetooth audiostreaming<br />
and hands-free calling,<br />
and 60:40 folding rear seats.<br />
Other standard features worth<br />
a mention, include keyless entry<br />
with push button start, Apple<br />
CarPlay, Android Auto and a<br />
reversing camera.<br />
Playful and surprisingly<br />
composed road holding are<br />
a good fit with the vehicle’s<br />
effervescent personality. However,<br />
being taller and narrower than<br />
other cars in this class, body<br />
lean enters the handling frame<br />
sooner when nudging things<br />
along through tight corners or<br />
over undulating terrain. This<br />
only becomes if you continue to<br />
unreasonably push the vehicles<br />
handling limits.<br />
The steering is light and not<br />
as direct as I prefer, but fine for<br />
the around-town driving life<br />
this car is designed for. Another<br />
plus for urbanites is the vehicle’s<br />
excellent turn-on-a-dime 4.7<br />
metre turning circle, that makes<br />
light work of U-turns in narrow<br />
streets.<br />

Police say the 25-year-old<br />

“He was a noyed about something<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 />

Prebbleton Dairy targeted<br />
four times by youth believes a<br />
family group conference was a<br />
waste of time.<br />
The meeting involved one<br />
of the teens, a 13-year-old,<br />
his family, Oranga Tamariki,<br />
police and four other victims,<br />
including another dairy<br />
owner.<br />
Facilitated by Oranga<br />
Tamariki, youth justice family<br />
group conferences are<br />
intended to help youth take<br />
responsibility and leave them<br />
with a plan for the future.<br />
While the victims could<br />
speak a the meeting, Sangeet<br />
Mehta said the decision had<br />
already been made as to what<br />
would happen with the youth.<br />
The victim’s views did not<br />
make a difference.<br />

Money<br />
taken<br />
after big<br />
pokie win<br />
• By Ba ry Clarke<br />
A BAR patron who won $1200<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 a 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 a 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 />

Kiwis are growing their own<br />

means less chemicals and more<br />

This approach of growing<br />
certain plants for the benefit of<br />
other plants is ca led companion<br />

around for centuries.<br />
And marigolds are probably the<br />
most famous companion plant<br />
around.<br />

just happens to produce a strong<br />

and their roots also contain a<br />

Marigolds are said to deter<br />
aphids from tomatoes and roses,<br />

Only last year the Government took an<br />
unprecedented step to pu the performance of<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 />

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 />

Half acre heaven.<br />
Located in a very private position this property in the increasingly popular village of Southbridge offering 2200m2 of land with<br />
its mature plantings and shrubs will feel like your own private oasis at the end of the day. The permanent material home has<br />
plenty of room for all with its extensive open plan kitchen/dining/living space, four bedrooms, separate laundry and centrally<br />
located bathroom. Alternatively the very large master bedroom could be the second living room leaving three bedroom<br />
options. With a free standing logburner, heatpump, HRV and nightstore heater in the hall this home is sure to be warm on the<br />
coldest of winter days. The home is well positioned to take advantage of maximum sun with the family living area being<br />
particularly well located for natural light and warmth. Standing alone from the house the original garage has been divided<br />
into a lined space which could serve as a hobbies room or storage and the balance of this area being a workshop. Outdoors<br />
the spacious grounds are relatively easy care and there are numerous trees offering shelter and shade. If it is the good life in a<br />
quiet environment you crave then look no further than this property.<br />

[Edition datE]<br />
Winter’s here...<br />
clear the gutters and<br />
keep them clean<br />
Before clearing the gutter of any debris, it’s<br />
best to securely block off the tops of any<br />
downpipes with a large rag or old towel.<br />
This prevents any of the collected sludge<br />
being washed down and potential causing<br />
a blocking. Beginning at one end, carefully<br />
scoop out any leaves and sludge (either<br />
with a purpose made gutter scoop or small<br />
plastic trowel) and deposit the debris in a<br />
bucket. Work your way along the length<br />
of each section of guttering, emptying the<br />
bucket as necessary. Once the guttering<br />
is clear of mess, remove the rag or towel<br />
and sluice the gutter with clean water,<br />
scrubbing (if necessary) with a stiff-bristled<br />
brush.<br />
Once you’re satisfied the inside of the<br />
gutter is clear and clean, use a preparatory<br />
house or paint wash (diluted with<br />
warm water to the recommended ratio)<br />
to carefully scrub the guttering and<br />
downpipes with a brush, rinsing off any<br />
soapy residue with clean water. For any<br />
really stubborn or unsightly areas of<br />
mould, consider using a preparatory moss<br />
and mould killer. While up the ladder,<br />
do a routine check on the condition of<br />
the guttering, ensuring that water runs<br />
away freely and there are no splits, gaps in<br />
the joints or broken brackets along each<br />
section. Check also along the edge of the<br />
roof for any potential maintenance issues<br />
as now is the time to address any signs of<br />
rust or other damage.<br />
BLOCKED DRAINPIPES<br />
Should the water not flow freely along the<br />
guttering and exit via the downpipe, it<br />
may be there’s a blockage in the downpipe<br />
that will need clearing. Begin by carefully<br />
feeding a garden hose down the top of the<br />
drainpipe until it stops; then turn it on<br />
full. This may be enough to dislodge the<br />
blockage. Failing that, consider using a<br />
length of strong wire or a thin rod to shift<br />
the compacted debris. For truly stubborn<br />
blockages, it may be necessary to remove<br />
the downpipe completely. Beginning at the<br />
bottom of the pipe, unscrew each bracket<br />
and carefully remove the downpipe (or<br />
each section, as necessary) and free the<br />
inside of any blockage with a piece of<br />
garden stake (or strong bamboo). sluice the<br />
pipe out with running water. In extreme<br />
cases it may be necessary to use a water<br />
blaster. Once unblocked, replace the pipe,<br />
screwing back the brackets in reverse<br />
order.<br />
PREVENTION<br />
Prevention is better than cure so consider<br />
placing plastic netting or mesh over<br />
guttering to act as a filter and stop leaves<br />
and other large debris causing a problem.<br />
There are also a number of other custommade<br />
gutter products on the market<br />
including brush-like ‘whiskers’ and other<br />
‘gutter guards’. Remember, however,<br />
that even with these gutter protectors<br />
you’ll still need to check your guttering<br />
system annually to ensure run-off flows<br />
freely. Small particles of dust and dirt can<br />
still accumulate underneath any gutter<br />
protector causing a build-up of sludge, and<br />
inhibiting water flow, both of which can<br />
lead to potential damage. If in doubt, seek<br />
advice from your building professional.<br />
TOP TIPS<br />
Instead of blocking downpipes with<br />
a rag or towel, consider installing a<br />
water diverter on each. This purpose<br />
made device is simple to fit and readily<br />
diverts debris from the downpipe by<br />
way of a plastic flap. When not being<br />
used, the flap is clicked the other way,<br />
and water will flow normally through<br />
the pipe and into the drain.<br />

Your guide to all things Real Estate<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
anish boring bedrooms<br />
Has your bedroom become a bit of an<br />
afterthought when it comes to interiors?<br />
Maybe it’s been years since it’s seen a fresh<br />
lick of paint? Or it’s now a dumping ground<br />
for things you’d rather keep out of sight?<br />
Whatever your bedroom nightmares, now<br />
is the perfect time to tackle them head on.<br />
When it comes to sprucing up our<br />
homes, many of us concentrate on<br />
reception rooms, the kitchen and<br />
bathrooms, completely neglecting our<br />
bedrooms – but considering we spend<br />
around a third of our lives in bed it’s one<br />
room we should all prioritise.<br />
Turning your bedroom into a relaxing<br />
space where you can shut out the world,<br />
could help promote a better night’s sleep –<br />
and who doesn’t want in their lives?<br />
Simple updates such as a fresh coat of<br />
paint, or new wallpaper, can make all the<br />
difference and can be done on a shoestring<br />
budget without the need for calling in the<br />
experts.<br />
To really make the room work for you,<br />
carefully consider storage options – fitted<br />
wardrobes and units are a great way to<br />
maximise on space, while shelves and<br />
bookcases can be used to store and display<br />
your favourite items.<br />
However, your bedroom is the perfect<br />
room to allow your personality to shine –<br />
if you’ve always fancied hoping on a trend,<br />
such as going big with maximalism, then<br />
the bedroom is a great place to start.<br />
You can do yourself a favour when it<br />
comes to getting a decent night’s sleep<br />
by investing in some heavy curtains or<br />
blackout blinds.<br />
Blackout blinds are especially handy<br />
for shift workers, or during the summer<br />
months when there’s more hours of<br />
daylight – but can also benefit anyone who<br />
enjoys a long lie in without sunlight or<br />
light pollution ruining it.<br />
On a similar note, the lighting you<br />
choose for your bedroom plays a<br />
crucial role in creating the right sort of<br />
environment for sleeping.<br />
A good tip for bedrooms is to ‘layer’ your<br />
lighting. This means opting for a mix of<br />
three sources of light: task, decorative, and<br />
ambient.<br />
As the name suggests, task is the light<br />
you’d use when completing a task. For your<br />
bedroom, this could be a bedside lamp you<br />
use to read or light-up mirror on a dressing<br />
table.<br />
Decorative lighting can add some fun<br />
details – think a glitzy chandelier, a feature<br />
standing lamp or some unusual table lamps<br />
for your bedside tables.<br />
For ambient, or general lighting, consider<br />
recessed lights, spotlights or a simple<br />
pendant light. You can give your room a<br />
quick and cheap update by swapping out a<br />
pendant shade whenever you fancy.<br />
Layering doesn’t just apply to lighting,<br />
either.<br />
You can make the space cosier and more<br />
comfortable by mixing up fabrics and soft<br />
furnishings. If your room has an arm chair,<br />
load it up with comfy cushions and drape<br />
a throw across it; if you have wooden or<br />
tiled floors, a fluffy new rug can amp up<br />
the cosy-vibes; while pillows, cushions and<br />
comforters can be piled on the bed to sink<br />
into at the end of a long day.<br />
