Apprentice 

baker rises 

to the top 

RIGHT MIX: Delmari 

Janse Van Rensburg 

competing in the 

LA Judge award 

in Sydney. 

• By Jack Ward 

DELMARI JANSE Van 

Rensburg has been living and 

breathing baking for the past six 

months. 

And it all paid off when she 

won the Australasian baking 

industry’s prestigious LA Judge 

award, for baking apprentice of 

the year, in Sydney. 

“You hope and you dream, 

but to win it is insane,” the 

22-year-old from New World 

Rolleston said. 

“I just didn’t want to come 

last. 

“You have really got to back 

yourself, and when you come up 

against the best of the best, it is 

easy to start doubting yourself, 

so you have to push yourself and 

know it is time to step up.” 

The competition, established 

in 1967, recognises Australasia’s 

top bakers aged 25 and under. 

The win means Van Rensburg 

will head to Belgium next year 

for a week to train with global 

baking group Puratos Headquarters. 

The three-day competition 

tested every aspect of the 

craft, from technical skills and 

production efficiency to theory 

and creativity. 

“The judges were looking 

at your point of difference, 

creativity and how you handle 

the challenges in a one-person 

bakery, like time management 

and using machinery that is 

not common such as a tweedy 

mixer, Eberhardt and Oshikiri,” 

Van Rensburg said.

Advocacy group makes strong bid for council 

• By Daniel Alvey 

ANOTHER KEY member of a 

community advocacy group is 

making a bid for council. 

Lincoln Voice secretary Denise 

Carrick will be running for a seat 

in the Kā Puna Springs Ward. 

She is the third committee 

member of Lincoln Voice to 

Denise 

Carrick 

stand for council 

in October’s local 

body elections. 

Chair Tracey 

Macleod is 

running for 

one of the 

at-large seats 

and committee 

member Aaron 

McGlinchy for 

a Springs Ward 

seat. 

Unlike 

Macleod and 

McGlinchy who 

are running as 

independents, 

Tracey 

Macleod 

Aaron 

McGlinchy 

Carrick will be 

using the Lincoln 

Voice banner in 

her campaign. 

“I have the 

blessing of the 

committee and 

the founding 

members to 

do that,” Carrick said. 

Current Springs Ward 

councillors Malcolm Lyall and 

Debra Hasson are yet to decide 

whether they will stand again, 

while Grant Miller announced 

on Anzac Day he would not be 

seeking re-election.

Selwyn Schools’ Waste Art 

Competition Launched 

Lincoln Envirotown Trust is again running 

its Waste Art Competition for students of 

year 7 and above who attend a school or 

are home-schooled in Selwyn. 

This competition first ran in 2021 at the 

suggestion of a local businessperson who felt 

strongly that too many materials which can 

find other uses are discarded. 

The artwork is aimed at making us 

reconsider our views on rubbish and 

reusing. The pieces must be assembled 

or constructed from previously used 

materials which otherwise would have 

likely gone to landfill. The work must be 

done individually or in pairs. All entrants 

receive a prize; with special prizes for age 

category winners and an overall prize. 

The response to this recently introduced 

project has been overwhelming and it now 

runs every two years. In the first year there 

were 22 entries and in the 2023 event there 

were over 30 pieces of art presented. The 

judges from the Youth Council, along with 

a local artist and library team member were 

hugely impressed with the high standard of 

work. 

In recent years the awards and exhibition 

of the work have been held over a weekend 

in Te Ara Atea in Rolleston. This is the 

perfect venue, and Lincoln Envirotown is 

very grateful for the support and assistance 

of Selwyn District Council’s library team 

and the Creative Communities Scheme. The 

whole project is enhanced by excellent work 

being on public display in this prominent 

venue. 

We hope to see many interested 

young artists again this year.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

Mitchell wants answers on 

councils’ flooding response 


EMERGENCY Management 

Minister Mark Mitchell is urging 

councils to have a frank and 

honest assessment of how to 

mitigate flooding. 

Mitchell has written to all councils 

asking them to review current 

decision-making processes around 

flood protection and control and 

report back by next Friday. 

“As you will be aware, there has 

been heightened public interest in 

how regional and 

local authorities 

have managed 

flood protection 

and control works 

during, and in 

the lead-up to 

significant weather 

events,” Mitchell 

wrote. 

“Even when 

local authorities and staff have 

Mark 

Mitchell 

done exceptional work to respond 

to events, the perceived inability 

to effectively manage the flood 

protection schemes and waterways 

has contributed in some places 

to a lack of public trust in the 

emergency management system’s 

ability to prepare for and respond 

MANAGEMENT: There is debate over whether Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere should have been opened before the storm 

hit three weeks ago. 

PHOTO: ECAN 

to significant weather events.” 

The letter specifically mentioned 

Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and 

Lake Forsyth. 

In the aftermath of flooding 

caused by two months’ worth of 

rainfall in eastern Selwyn over 48 

hours, debate has emerged over 

whether opening Lake Ellesmere 

earlier could have reduced the 

damage. 

Environment Canterbury chair 

Craig Pauling told Selwyn Times it 

was in the process of preparing a 

response to Mitchell. 

“We are confident our opening 

decision-making processes are robust, 

but are planning to meet with 

representatives from Te Rūnanga 

o Ngāi Tahu and the Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere consultation group 

soon to debrief and discuss future 

management approaches.” 

The opening of Lake Ellesmere 

is governed by the National Water 

Conservation (Te Waihora/Lake 

Ellesmere) Order 1990. 

Under the order, the lake can be 

opened anytime from April 1 to 

June 15 to assist fish passage. Otherwise 

it can be opened between 

April 1 and July 31, only when it 

reaches a water level of 1.13m. 

Last week Selwyn Times 

reported community concerns 

about the increase in subdivisions 

worsening the impact of floods. 

Said Pauling: “We’re also working 

with our communities to 

review how we manage and fund 

flood and river resilience so we can 

strengthen and have appropriate 

infrastructure into the future.” 

Mitchell’s letter also asked 

councils to identify any additional 

regulatory powers they may need. 

Pauling said ECan was considering 

this as part of its response. 

However, Mayor Sam 

Broughton said no additional powers 

were necessary. 

“The council currently has a 

strong framework of legal instruments 

to respond to a weather 

emergency, and we are not looking 

for any additional legislative levers 

to enhance our response.” 

A Christchurch City Council 

spokesperson said staff were 

working on a response to 

Mitchell’s letter and could not 

comment further until it was 

complete.

Higher speed limit not fast enough 

Part of the Christchurch 

Southern Motorway 

now has a 110km/h 

speed limit, up from 

100km/h. But as 

reporter Dylan Smits 

and photographer 

Geoff Sloan found out, 

many drivers are going 

faster 

WE WERE CRUISING down 

the motorway back towards 

Christchurch when a black 

Toyota Landcruiser overtook us 

in the right lane, travelling about 

130km/h. 

It was the vehicle we clocked 

going the fastest, but on our 

circuit of the motorway from 

the city to Rolleston and back 

we saw most were travelling at 

120km/h – 10km/h over the 

new limit. 

A 17.7km stretch of the 

motorway – between the 

Curletts Rd interchange in 

Middleton and the Weedons 

Rd interchange in Rolleston – 

became the South Island’s first 

110km/h state highway last 

month. 

Heading south, some drivers 

reduced their speed to 110km/h 

when the limit dropped to 

100km/h near Rolleston. Others

Hoskyns Rd. 

On the return trip, most 

vehicles accelerated to 120km/h 

just before or shortly after reentering 

the 110km/h zone from 

Rolleston, then slowed back to 

110km/h once the limit dropped 

to 100km/h. 

As vehicles continued into 

Christchurch, most slowed to 

about 90km/h after passing the 

60km/h sign at the end of the 

motorway near Barrington St 

before Brougham St. 

After the sign, all motorists 

eventually slowed to 60km/h 

over the next 300m of road. 

Some motorists eased from 

120km/h to 110km/h when 

merging with traffic from 

off-ramps or as congestion

But Police road policing manager 

Inspector Kelly Larsen said 

police have not encountered any 

“significant issues” and speeding

in the speed limit doesn’t mean 

drivers will increase their speed

for some drivers 

“How much people 

adjust their speed will 

depend on a number of 

things like the look-andfeel 

of the road, what speed 

vehicles were travelling 

at before the change and 

what speed naturally feels 

right to most people in that 

environment.” 

He said data studies 

Dylan 

Thomsen 

from speed limit changes indicate a 10km/h 

change in the speed limit will generally see 

a change of only 3-5km/h in actual driving 

speeds. 

Rolleston resident Nicholas Grimmer, 

30, uses the motorway four times a week to 

travel to work and was excited by the new 

limit. 

“I love it, I’m a big fan. My only worry is 

that people who are not confident going 110 

are sometimes in the right-hand lane, which 

is typically the quicker lane,” he said. 

Prebbleton resident Lucas McGillivray, 21, 

said the speed limit change had not affected 

his commute. 

“I think the change is a good thing. Traffic 

can get pretty bad in the morning, but 

at the same time, is the difference between 

100km/h and 110km/h actually going to do 

that much?”

Subdivision vote 

behind Carrick’s 

Hear the Life 

You Love. 

decision to stand 


Like Macleod and McGlinchy, a key 

motivation for standing was Lincoln 

Voice’s fight to stop the huge 2100-home 

Carter subdivision, Earlsbrook. 

Lincoln Voice had appealed the private 

plan change, which the council approved 

in the Environment Court. 

But before the case was heard, the 

appeal was made null and void after the 

subdivision was included in the District 

Plan, which the council controversially 

signed off on with only six councillors 

present. The remaining five and Mayor 

Sam Broughton were either away or not 

voting due to a conflict of interest. 

Because Lincoln Voice was never 

involved in the District Plan process, 

which started a number of years before the 

group was formed, it had no grounds to 

appeal the plan. 

That prompted questions and criticism 

from Lincoln Voice as to why the vote was 

not delayed until more councillors could 

be present for the vote. 

Carrick said if she was elected and a 

similar big decision was to happen 

she would want a full council to be 

present. 

“Those sorts of big decisions need to be 

handled better.” 

Carrick said now the subdivision is 

under construction, she wants to focus on 

ensuring Lincoln has the infrastructure to 

cope with the extra homes. 

“It is in the background, because what’s 

done is done. 

“But the repercussions of it are still 

becoming very evident with growth 

in population and the need for 

infrastructure.” 

Carrick is also on the Selwyn 

Community Patrol committee and works 

part-time as a teacher aide at Rolleston 

College. 

Macleod owns and operates NTM 

Consulting, while McGlinchy is a parttime 

consult operations manager for Eco 

Index. 

In recent years Carrick’s focus has 

been on Lincoln, but she said she can 

still represent the other Springs Ward 

townships. This now includes West 

Melton. 

“Each of our townships has got different 

issues, but we all have quite a lot in 

common with how quickly we’ve grown 

and the issues that brings,” she said.

Engagement process reveals 

residents’ top future priorities 


CHEAPER HOUSING, better 

public transport, and a focus on 

infrastructure were recurring 

themes when it comes to what 

people want in the district’s 

future. 

The ideas came out of the 

council’s early engagement 

with the public to look at how 

townships in Ellesmere, Malvern 

and eastern Selwyn (Rolleston, 

Lincoln and Prebbleton) could 

develop over the next 30 years. 

Council staff told the housing 

and urban development meeting 

last week it was “the council’s most 

extensive engagement to date”. 

Since late last year, more than 

150 people have participated in 

workshops and 2650 comments 

have been made on the council’s 

online crowd-mapping tool. The 

council has also had more than 

900 face-to-face conversations. 

“The in-person opportunities 

enabled meaningful conversations 

with residents in a relaxed, 

informal setting, where people 

shared what they value about 

their town, the challenges they 

face, and their hopes for the 

future,” council staff said in 

a report. 

The feedback gathered will 

help develop three draft area 

plans for Ellesmere, Malvern 

and eastern Selwyn, which 

are due to be presented to the 

committee on June 11, followed 

by the full council on June 25 

before further consultation with 

the community. 

The area plans are part of the 

council’s wider project, Waikirikiri 

Ki Tua Future Selwyn, 

which sets out the council’s vision 

for the district for the next 

50-100 years. 

Among the feedback, the 

council received a lot of comments 

about businesses people 

want – like supermarkets, 

Kmart, and movie theatres – all 

of which the council has no 

control over. 

Staff told councillors as part 

of the next stage of consultation, 

they plan to include education 

about what the council does and 

does not do. 

FEEDBACK FROM EACH AREA 

Malvern 

Feedback reflected the diverse needs of its varied 

communities, with water supply and wastewater 

systems dominating discussion. Concerns were 

raised about both capacity and quality, from support 

for expanding reticulated systems in Darfield, to 

opposition to water chlorination in remote villages like 

Lake Coleridge and Arthurs Pass. Flooding issues in 

Hororata and Whitecliffs and a lack of fire infrastructure 

in Arthurs Pass highlighted vulnerability to natural 

hazards. 

Ellesmere 

Feedback reflected a strong desire for affordable, 

resilient infrastructure that can meet the demands of 

growth while responding to the increasing risks posed 

by climate change. Leeston was the focal point of most 

feedback, with particular attention given to flooding, 

fire, earthquakes, and tsunamis – risks that local 

residents are keen to see planned for and mitigated 

through better design and investment. 

Eastern Selwyn 

Feedback reflected a strong focus on the growing 

infrastructure demands created by urban development 

in key townships, such as Rolleston, Lincoln and 

Prebbleton. Lincoln was widely praised for its existing 

infrastructure, particularly water services, but there 

were also calls for ongoing investment to maintain 

this standard, especially in telecommunications and 

emergency services.

Pushback 

halts plans 

for billboard 


COMMUNITY opposition has 

seen the council reconsider its 

plan for an electronic billboard. 

The proposed billboard was to 

be located between the Selwyn 

Aquatic Centre and Selwyn 

Sports Centre on Broadlands Dr 

in Rolleston. It would have stood 

9m tall, featuring two digital 

screens measuring 6m by 3m 

each. 

Council chief digital officer 

Matt McGrath said the feedback 

from residents has led them to 

revisit the proposal. 

“Through the public notification 

process, we received feedback 

from the community supporting 

the intent for the digital sign, but 

not the location. 

“Given this feedback, we will 

be looking into other locations 

and once we have options for 

feedback, we will engage with the 

community,” McGrath said. 

One of the seven submissions 

came from the Rolleston 

Residents Association. Its 

chair, Mark Alexander, said 

commonsense had prevailed. 

“To be fair to council, staff have 

been told to look for alternative 

revenue sources, and it is a good 

idea, but the site is wrong.”

drowsy in the morning, Lavina 

opted for a natural approach and 

came across Koru Sleep at her 

local pharmacy. 

Lavina cautiously tried Koru 

Sleep, unsure of what exactly to 

expect from natural ingredients, 

but lo and behold... 

“It felt like my sleep was induced 

naturally; there were no sudden 

drop-offs into drowsiness,” she 

says. 

Not only did Koru Sleep provide 

her with the peaceful rest she 

longed for, but it also left her 

feeling fresh in the morning. “I 

never woke up feeling groggy. It 

was very restful and good; it’s now 

my go-to,” she added. 

But the most striking change? 

“My sleep has balanced itself out 

now,” she reported with joy. 

“I would highly recommend 

Koru Sleep. I thought it was 

brilliant, I really did.”

night tossing and turning, Koru 

Sleep is available at your local 

pharmacy.

NEWS 


Broughton sets his sights on 

matching mayoral milestone 

Mayor Sam Broughton 

is going for a recordequalling 

fourth term 

in October’s local body 

elections. Reporter 

Daniel Alvey catches up 

with him 

FIFTEEN YEARS ago, a council 

decision about the Darfield 

Library unknowingly set Sam 

Broughton on a path to becoming 

Selwyn’s mayor. 

Back then, Broughton was a 

youth worker in his late 20s. He 

was frustrated when the council 

decided to convert the old council 

chambers into a library rather 

than choose a more central 

location. 

“The council at the time decided 

to put the library down the far 

end of town in what seemed like 

the most convenient and cheapest 

option for them, but it was not 

really the best option for the 

community, so that annoyed me,” 

he said. 

Broughton had never been 

drawn to politics, but he was 

deeply invested in his community. 

While chatting to a fellow youth 

worker who was running for a seat 

on the Christchurch City Council, 

Broughton had a lightbulb 

moment. 

“When they (the youth worker) 

said that, I thought ‘I could do 

that’.” 

The conversation led to 

Broughton standing for, and 

winning, a seat in the Malvern 

Ward at the 2010 election. 

Three years later, he ran for 

mayor but lost to incumbent 

Kelvin Coe, finishing third behind 

Coe and Dr Olive Webb. 

“I’d been a bit frustrated that 

we’d talked about doing things but 

didn’t seem to actually deliver stuff 

for our community.” 

Broughton continued serving 

as a councillor and ran for mayor 

again in 2016. This time, he won 

DOWN TIME: Sam Broughton 

with wife Liz, daugher Elliott 

and Lev. Broughton cites 

bowls as valuable for his 

mental health. He is pictured 

right with triples winning 

teammates Terry Kilday 

(centre) and Bill Posthumus. 

– becoming the youngest mayor 

in New Zealand at 35, and the 

first in 21 years to not be a farmer 

from the Ellesmere Ward, as the 

district was rapidly growing and 

becoming younger and more 

urban. 

While not a farmer himself, 

Broughton comes from farming 

roots. He grew up on his family’s 

farm between Darfield and 

Coalgate. 

“Through school, I had jobs 

on neighbours’ farms and other 

farms around the district, and 

after school, I did some work 

in-and-out of farming. But I got 

into youth work. 

“Grandma’s still there, she’s 

95. Mum and dad still live on the 

farm, and one of my brothers is 

running it,” he said. 

After leaving school, Broughton 

spent a year volunteering at 

a boarding school in Oxford, 

England, and travelling around 

Europe. 

MAYORAL DUTY: Sam Broughton speaking to the Christchurch City Council in 2018 with a 

giant pumpkin for a city versus country competition. The pumpkin was planted by former 

Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel. 

On his return he had a failed 

attempt at an economics degree at 

Canterbury University. 

“I was good at economics at 

school, went to university and 

ended up getting distracted by 

playing too much pool with one 

of my friends at the Riccarton 

(Working Men’s) Club and I just 

didn’t go back for a second year.” 

After university, he started work 

as a youth pastor at the Darfield 

Baptist Church and a youth 

worker with high schools around 

Selwyn. 

Before taking on the mayoralty, 

Broughton was already busy – 

he was juggling youth work, his 

council seat, and managing a day 

spa at Terrace Downs with wife 

Liz, a massage therapist. He was 

also preparing to become a dad, 

with daughter Elliot on the way. 

When he was elected mayor, 

Broughton stepped back from 

youth work and the spa business to 

focus on the mayoralty full time. 

Now seeking a fourth term, he’s 

campaigning in a climate where 

people are looking for someone to 

blame as cost-of-living pressures 

bite. 

“I was good at 

economics at school, 

went to university 

and ended up getting 

distracted by playing 

too much pool with 

one of my friends at 

the Riccarton (Working 

Men’s) Club and I just 

didn’t go back for a 

second year.” 

– Sam Broughton 

Broughton said people in public 

positions can be blamed for cost 

increases whether they have any 

control over them or not. 

“People like to be able to find a 

scapegoat and blame someone.’’ 

For the first time as mayor, 

Broughton is being challenged for 

the job by a sitting councillor, after 

Malvern Ward’s Lydia Gliddon 

announced her bid. 

While Broughton said it was 

a “surprise” to see Gliddon’s 

challenge, it would not change his 

campaign. 

“I always take elections seriously. 

I have a track record of delivering 

good outcomes for Selwyn.” 

As he looks to be elected for a 

fourth term, matching Michael 

McEvedy’s record, Broughton says 

there is still more to be done. 

“In a growing community you 

can’t just rely on the way things 

were. Even 10 years ago, 30,000 

people did not live in Selwyn that 

do now. So we have to constantly 

think and plan for future.” 

Last financial year, rates rose an 

average of 14.9% and are expected 

to rise about 14.2% this year when 

water bills and rates are combined. 

At the moment, a portion of 

people’s general rates is for water, 

with the usage being charged 

separately. 

Once the water services council 

controlled organisation (WSCCO) 

takes over, it will take over all the 

billing, except for stormwater, 

which will stay in-house. 

While Broughton said 14% rates 

rises are untenable, he also does 

not want to keep rates low and 

defer any necessary work. 

He said some councils 

keeping rates artificially low 

has contributed to the country 

needing up to $185 billion of 

investment in its drinking water, 

wastewater, and stormwater over 

the next 30 years. 

“My conscience won’t let me do 

that for our community.” 

When Broughton does get a free 

moment, he spends time playing 

lawn bowls, motorbiking and 

playing guitar. 

“I started lawn bowls many 

years ago and ended up stopping 

after five years, then it wasn’t until 

Covid I realised I loved it.

NEWS 


“Mental health-wise and 

socially, getting back into lawn 

bowls has been really good.” 

Inspired by watching bowls 

played at the Commonwealth 

Games, Broughton once 

imagined he might represent New 

Zealand one day. 

While that dream hasn’t materialised, 

he did become Malvern 

singles open champion this year 

and plays in the Darfield team 

competing in Christchurch’s 

premier city competition. 

These days, he spends more 

time supporting his family’s 

sports than playing himself. 

“I support Elliot in things she 

wants to do, she’s just taken netball 

and dance after school. 

Liz plays for the Selwyn United 

in the premier women’s team, and 

recently marked her 100th game. 

A key part of Broughton’s 

public image are his pink shoes, 

which he wears the majority of 

the time he is out and about. 

“My wardrobe is very black and 

blue, and I tend to wear the same 

thing all the time, so I don’t have 

to think about what I’m wearing 

in the mornings. But at my core, 

I am colourful and have always 

loved pink. 

“When I was a young boy, I 

had a pink school bag and a pink 

sweater. About five or six years 

ago, I wondered, ‘why am I suppressing 

that little part of me that 

just wants to be not dull?’” 

A major focus for Broughton 

is getting the Government to 

step up and invest in Selwyn in 

areas such as education, police, 

transport, health and public 


Fighting for fair share from Government 

housing. 

“The Government keeps saying 

we are going for growth, and that 

growth should pay for growth. 

I think at the moment our 

community is really feeling the 

extra cost of growth because we 

are having to locally fund things 

when the Government should be 

stepping in.” 

As chair of Local Government 

New Zealand since 2023, 

Broughton now advocates 

nationally as well. 

“It really benefits Selwyn. It 

means we are front and centre of 

national discussions on anything 

that shifts or changes. 

“When I’m in those positions, 

I speak on behalf of all councils, 

not just Selwyn, but for any 

examples, the first I know are 

Selwyn examples. 

He also wants the Government 

to give councils more financial 

tools – like returning GST from 

new housing developments. 

Broughton said if the 

Government does not respond to 

local needs, then New Zealand 

will be “in a pretty stink place”. 

“That is a message the 

Government needs to hear 

because it is not just one or two 

councils and one or two families 

that are struggling with rates 

increases, it is across the country.” 

In April, the council was widely 

criticised for opting to set up a 

new company to manage water 

and wastewater, which Broughton 

and five councillors backed 

despite 86.1% of submitters not 

wanting it. 

“It has been really hard, and 

I get some in our community 

didn’t want the decision that 

was made, but we are now set for 

success in a high-growth space. 

“We’re in a good place to not 

only look after the community’s 

water supplies but also have the 

best staff and best governance.” 

Broughton knows the WSCCO 

will cost him come election time. 

“Making the decision on the 

WSCCO will hurt. It will mean 

some people won’t vote for 

me, bur weighing up all of the 

options and thinking about all 

of the information I have, I can 

honestly say I think it’s the best 

decision for the future of our 

district.” 

Broughton says he has “no plans” 

yet for what life looks post his 

mayoralty whenever that may be.

13-year-old police station at capacity 

A TEMPORARY building may 

be added to Rolleston’s police 

station to ease growing pains. 

Police officers have told their 

union, the Police Association, 

the Tennyson St station is at capacity 

with toilets being used for 

locker rooms and limited space 

for the storage of exhibits. Gear 

bags littered hallways and were 

stuffed into any space available 

in the meal room. 

The building is about 

13-years-old. 

Police Association 

president Chris Cahill 

said when he first visited 

the station, he was 

“shocked” at how small 

it was. 

“It is definitely not fit 

for purpose anymore and the 

sooner something else is developed 

the better,” Cahill said. 

While no timeline for the extra 

building is known, it is understood 

when it arrives it could 

provide a dedicated training 

room, office space for an expanding 

youth aid and family harm 

team, space dedicated to the processing 

and storage of exhibits, 

Chris Cahill 

and extra room for body armour 

system and gear bags. 

Police were did not respond 

to questions from Selwyn Times 

before deadline. 

The temporary building is 

aimed to fill the gap between 

now and the planned emergency 

service campus, tipped to go 

at the back of Helpet Park on 

Lincoln Rolleston Rd. 

The campus would have 

a police station, fire station, 

ambulance station 

and space for civil defence 

emergency management, 

along with shared services. 

A timeline for when the 

campus will be built has 

yet to be set out. 

Cahill said if the campus did go 

ahead it was unlikely any police 

would remain at Tennyson St. 

The association also reported 

police have completed work at 

the Lincoln police station to 

repair leaks and fix mould issues 

in the roof and internal walls, 

while rotten posts have been 

remedied in the foyer of the 

Darfield police station. 

CRAMPED: Lockers in bathrooms and gear bags in hallways are some of the problems with 

overcrowding at Rolleston’s police station.

LETTERS 

After the recent heavy rains 

and the subsequent flooding to 

streets and property, it is obvious 

the current infrastructure for 

stormwater drainage is totally 

inadequate. Heavy rains are 

expected to be the new norm, 

so urgency must be taken to 

upgrade the drainage systems 

we have. 

The requirement for subdivisions 

to have land that is impermeable 

exacerbates the situation, 

in that what would have drained 

naturally into the land now 

has to go into the stormwater 

network. 

Additional stormwater from 

the upcoming Earlsbrook 

subdivision (2100 homes plus 

commercial) being added to an 

already overloaded stormwater 

network is foolhardy and will 

cause further problems as it is 

progressed. 

The L II River (and its tributaries) 

is the only option to take 

stormwater from Lincoln for 

discharge into Lake Ellesmere, 

but clearly it can’t cope with the 

current volumes produced in 

heavy rains. 

Until the capacity of the 

L II River and its tributaries 

are increased to accommodate 

greater volumes of stormwater, 

no consents for new builds or 

further developments should be 

considered. 

Trusting the Selwyn District 

Council and Environment 

Canterbury treat this matter 

with urgency. 


Flooding infrastructure inadequate; extra 

public transport needs ‘rigorous analysis’ 

FULL UP: The Halswell River 

was at its max during rain 

three weeks ago. 

Flooding around the district 

will continue until major 

upgrades are implemented. 

- Mike Harding, Lincoln 

Finally, a councillor making 

noises about subdivisions 

contributing to flooding in the 

Selwyn area! (Selwyn Times, May 

14). 

The council, which was once 

predominantly run by locals 

with local knowledge, is now a 

thing of the past. 

Our property is on a ponding 

zone, code for flood. We 

are aware and respect that. 

Although it did not enter any 

buildings or our home, it was the 

worse we have seen it in a 

40-year period and it came too 

close for comfort. 

I am appalled council continues 

to let developers subdivide 

on a flood zone with blatant 

disregard for existing property 

owners. 

Raising the height of building 

platforms is displacing flood waters 

onto neighbouring existing 

properties with a lower building 

platform height. 

I think Selwyn District is in 

big trouble. 

- Nicki Spencer, Tai Tapu 

(Abridged) 

Buses 

In response to your article ‘Bus 

proposal facing the axe as public 

balk at funding options’ (Selwyn 

Times, May 14. 

Improving public transport 

across Malvern is long overdue, 

but saddling Selwyn ratepayers 

with the cost is neither fair nor 

sustainable. 

First, a two‐year trial between 

Darfield and Rolleston, running 

weekdays only, offers no 

guarantee of success. Where 

is the data demonstrating this 

route’s demand? Why exclude 

Hornby, Lincoln or Riccarton – 

centres with larger populations 

and clear commuter flows to 

Christchurch? 

Before committing scarce 

council funds, ECan must commission 

an independent feasibility 

study, exploring on‐demand 

shuttles and public‐private 

partnerships that transfer risk 

away from ratepayers. 

Second, it is disingenuous for 

our Mayor to suggest that if this 

service “fails,” we can always 

revisit “the conversation about 

saving rates”. 

That approach smacks of political 

convenience, not genuine 

community engagement. 

It mirrors the backtracking we 

witnessed when SDC ignored 

overwhelming feedback to 

keep water services in‐house, 

justifying the creation of a costly 

council‐controlled organisation. 

Malvern communities deserve 

better than trial‐and‐error 

proposals that put financial 

risk (on) ratepayers/renters. If 

affordability and accountability, 

are valued, ratepayers and 

residents must be at the heart of 

transport planning. This requires 

rigorous analysis, transparent 

costing and diversified funding 

to provide the most cost-effective 

public transport.

NEWS 

• By Jack Ward 

FOSTER PARKRUN will 

celebrate a major milestone on 

Saturday – its 300th event since 

launching in 2018. 

Co-event director Stuart Charteris 

said the weekly run’s success 

was largely due to its social and 

inclusive atmosphere. 

“It’s as much about community 

and the coffee afterwards than it is 

about the competing. Parkrun is a 

great gateway activity for exercise.” 

The theme for the 300th event is 

‘high-vis heroes’. 

The first Foster parkrun attracted 

205 participants. Since then, 

attendance has averaged between 

100 and 150 runners, with the 

highest turnout reaching 287. 

Charteris believes the event’s 

appeal lies in its family-friendly 

nature and the manageable 5km 

distance. 

“You can run, walk or jog, 

whatever level of fitness or speed. 

It is a big enough (distance) to 


Running together since 2018: Foster parkrun hits 300 

work for, but not big enough to 

put you off as a starter. It’s something 

the whole family can do 

and motivate each other to get out 

and get fit. 

“We have buggies and dogs as 

part of it. Kids can participate 

after their fourth birthday which 

is the global rule,” he said. 

Each event is organised by a 

team of volunteers, including a 

run director and about 10 helpers 

covering roles across the course – 

even someone walking at the back 

to ensure no one finishes last. 

“You are catching up and 

seeing friends and making new 

ones. Right from the start it has 

been a welcoming group and it 

has become known as the Foster 

whānau. 

“The nice thing about park run 

is you can’t come last,” Charteris 

said.

What’s in a 

Name 

Lincoln 

ON STAGE: Clinical psychologist Nigel Latta speaks about 

parenting at the Lincoln Event Centre. 

Bar set high for 

parenting week 

Selwyn 

Parenting 

Network’s 

Kate Webb 

reports 

on the 

organisation’s 

parenting 

week 

While many parents across 

New Zealand face long waits for 

parenting advice, neurodiversity 

support or mental health services, 

Selwyn Parenting Week 

showed what’s possible when a 

community steps in. 

The week-long series of expertled 

events reached more than 

650 families through in-person 

keynotes, practical workshops 

and online sessions. 

Topics covered everything 

from screen time and emotional 

development, to picky eating 

and eating disorders, brain 

science and nutrition, parenting 

neurodivergent children, 

and navigating the pressures 

of raising a family in a fastchanging 

world. 

One of the true highlights of 

the week was attracting not one, 

but two of New Zealand’s most 

respected clinical psychologists 

to Selwyn – Nigel Latta and 

Professor Julia Rucklidge. 

To bring speakers of this 

calibre into our district – and 

make their insights accessible to 

everyday families – was nothing 

short of extraordinary. It’s the 

kind of access usually reserved 

for national conferences or citybased 

summits. Instead, Selwyn 

parents got front-row seats to 

practical, evidence-based guidance, 

right here in their own 

community. 

While the content was powerful, 

what truly set the week apart 

was the sense of connection. 

Parents, caregivers and whānau 

showed up not just for expert 

advice, but to be seen, supported 

and heard. 

We kept tickets as close to free 

as possible, because access matters. 

Families told us this was 

the first time they could afford 

to attend something like this 

and the organisation, speakers 

and welcoming environment 

made all the difference. 

Backed by just one part-time 

contractor who volunteers an 

additional 60% of her time and 

a lean team of passionate local 

volunteers, Selwyn Parenting 

Network delivered a week that 

raised the bar for communityled 

family support. 

This is what happens when we 

stop waiting and start acting. 

Families need support now and 

they showed up for it. 

With the momentum now 

behind them, SPN will soon 

launch this year’s annual 

online parenting survey to help 

identify the ongoing needs 

and gaps families are facing 

across the region and into wider 

mid Canterbury. The goal: To 

listen deeper, advocate smarter, 

and keep building the kind of 

practical, local support that 

Selwyn families truly need and 

deserve.

operational lead 

A mural on the Rolleston 

Community Centre 

celebrates the two age 

groups the facility serves. 

At first glance, the artwork 

shows a young person. But 

if you change your angle, 

the image shifts to reveal 

an older version of the same 

individual – one person at 

two different stages of 

life. 

The mural symbolises the 

shared space and evolving 

roles of the Selwyn Youth 

Hub and the Older Persons 

Hub, which are both based 

at the centre. 

Created by Christchurch 

street and graffiti artist 

Wongi Wilson, the mural 

also sends a broader 

message about perception 

and understanding across 

PHOTO: TONY GAN 

A VIBRANT splash of colour 

has brightened the main street 

of Darfield. 

The Darfield Residents’ Association 

has installed coloured 

floodlights – funded by a grant 

from Pub Charity – which now 

illuminate the tree behind the 

historic Darfield Jail. 

Said association chair Harvey 

Polglase: “This project is about 

generations. 

A council spokesperson 

said the mural offers a 

subtle challenge to negative 

stereotypes about young 

people. 

“This mural gently 

challenges that mindset, 

reminding us that we 

were all young once. Every 

generation has been filled 

with dreams, challenges, 

and the desire to be seen 

and heard. 

“We hope this mural 

encourages empathy, 

understanding, and intergenerational 

connection. 

It’s a reminder the journey 

from youth to age is one 

shared by us all and how 

we see each other can 

change, simply by shifting 

our view.” 

Light a celebration 

of township’s ‘spirit’ 

more than just lighting a tree. 

It’s about celebrating Darfield’s 

spirit. 

“We want people to feel proud 

of where they live, and small 

touches like this can make a big 

difference.” 

The association is also 

working to restore the 110-yearold 

jail, with plans to reopen it 

for public viewing in September. 

Township 

named 

after Earl 

of Lincoln 

IN 1862, JAMES Edward 

FitzGerald of ‘The Springs’ 

subdivided some of his freehold 

land for the new township of 

Lincoln, named after the Earl of 

Lincoln, a foundation member 

of the Canterbury Association 

and from 1851 a member of the 

management committee. 

The site of Lincoln on the L1 

River would allow for a flour mill 

to be built to service the growing 

farming district. 

Lincoln was laid out in a grid 

layout and FitzGerald named the 

four belts North, East, South and 

West and the cross streets after 

his own children Robert, Maurice 

and William. 

The main streets James, Edward 

and Gerald were names after 

himself. 

The new township steadily grew 

and by 1873 Lincoln had a post office, 

butcher, brewers, a baker and 

confectioner, a storekeeper who 

had a hotel, a wheelwright and a 

carpenter, and a blacksmith. 

The peaceful quality of Lincoln 

changed with the arrival of the 

railway line in 1875 and the 

opening of the Little River line in 

1886.

A weekend for sporting milestones 

Lock marks 200 

games with try, 

dominant win 

• By Sam Coughlan 

DARFIELD’S TIM Wright 

celebrated his 200th division 1 

appearance for the club with a try 

and a victory, helping keep his 

side in the hunt for a spot in the 

Combined Country quarter-finals. 

The veteran lock crossed the 

line in Darfield’s 60–7 victory 

over Woodend. They would have 

climbed to fourth on the table if 

not for Oxford upsetting previously 

unbeaten Waihora 36–35. Waihora 

prop Sam Bolger marked his 100th 

game in that clash. 

Darfield meets Rakaia at the 

weekend while Waihora play 

Woodend. 

Springston first-five Cameron 

Powell also hit a milestone, making 

his 100th appearance and scoring a 

try in their 80–24 loss to Southern. 

Springston will play Ashley next. 

Elsewhere, Prebbleton moved 

to fourth in Pool B with a win 

over Hurunui, and Southbridge 

stayed second after defeating 

Methven. They will meet Ohoka 

and Ashburton Celtic respectively 

on Saturday. 

West Melton will face Oxford, 

while Lincoln – coming off a loss to 

Kaiapoi – have the bye.

Fox beat Lincoln’s David Pugh 

Williams 14-4 in the final after 

earlier winning 13-2 in his semifinal 

against Springston’s Morrie 

Ashby. 

The tournament took place 

over two days with 34 players 

competing, which was whittled 

down to 13 after the first day.

SELWYN SCHOOLS assistant 

coach Reece Allen says there is still 

plenty of room for improvement 

following his team’s 18-12 comeback 

win over St Bede’s College on 

Saturday. 

It was a major turnaround from 

last year, when St Bede’s won 71-12. 

Despite missing injured captain 

Brooklyn Dalgety and trailing 

12–3 at halftime, Selwyn rallied 

with 15 unanswered points in the 

final 10 minutes to seal the win. 

Debutant Mason Cole, starting 

at second-five after missing the 

round 1 loss to Nelson College with 

the flu, scored the match-winning 

try with three minutes to go. 

Allen praised the result but said 

it would count for little if they 

couldn’t build on it, starting with 

Saturday’s clash with Christ’s 

College at Lincoln High School. 

“ We’re just keeping our feet

Veteran winger notches 

up a century for Selwyn 


LIZ BROUGHTON has become 

the second player to notch up 100 

games for the Selwyn United’s 

premier women’s side. 

The 38-year-old winger followed 

in the footsteps of club 

captain Emily Andrew, who 

reached the milestone in 2022. 

Broughton said marking the occasion 

was something special. 

“ I walked in to the music 

blaring, and my name up in balloons,” 

she said. 

“We had a wee speech and 

presentation of the cap and guard 

of honour to run through at the 

end of our game, it was really 

cool.” 

Broughton, the wife of Selwyn 

mayor Sam Broughton, made her 

debut in 2018. While she knows

on the ground really, not getting 

overexcited about what we’ve 

achieved on the weekend. 

“The four points is good, but 

we’re by no means playing to our 

full potential at the moment.” 

He said the return of Dalgety 

this weekend would be a boost, 

adding leadership to a team a 

dozen players now holding first XV 

caps (for playing 10+ games). 

Kickoff at Lincoln High School is 

at 2.45pm. 

WELL DONE: Liz Broughton

she’s likely closer to the end of her 

playing career than the beginning, 

she’s excited to see younger 

players stepping up. 

“ I played (77) minutes on Saturday, 

the youngster (Madeline 

Powell) who subbed on for me 

is 15, and she came onto my 

position and scored the winning 

goal,” Broughton said. 

“ With all the amazing coaching 

and young ones coming 

through and skills growing, it’s 

a real cool honour to be a part of 

that growth and progression and 

see the team progressing.” 

Broughton’s 2023 and 2024 seasons 

were disrupted by surgeries 

for breast cancer, each requiring 

three months of recovery, and she 

said it was a good feeling to be 

back playing again. 

“Knowing I would get to chase 

a ball around with the team again 

was so good for my recovery. To 

be in my first full season back 

after all that, and getting to 100 

caps early on feels pretty great.” 

Selwyn United top the secondtier 

Canterbury Premiership 

after five games, and will meet 

Ferrymead Bays at Ferrymead 

Park on Saturday. 

Selwyn Artistic Swimming Club athletes made a splash 

at the South Island Artistic Swimming Championships, 

winning five gold medals at their home pool. It was the first 

time the club has hosted the event. Kristina Stepchenko 

and Scarlett Hardy, pictured above, won gold in both the 

junior tech and free duet events. Hardy also claimed gold in 

the junior free solo, while Stepchenko, below, took the top 

spot in the junior tech solo. Matthew Hamilton-Cross and 

Kelicia Purcell added another gold for Selwyn, winning the 

Aquarina duet. The club’s next major competition will be 

September’s national championships in Wellington, where 

17 Selwyn athletes are set to compete.

Well-prepared soil key to successful crops 

With winter almost 

upon us, now’s the 

time to get your garden 

in shape for spring 

– starting with soil 

preparation 

Vegetables 

Start preparing soil now for 

early potato plantings in August 

by adding plenty of compost, 

but no lime, to an area of garden 

facing north or northeast. 

Ideally, it will be a sheltered site 

along the western side by a hedge, 

fence or artificial windbreak. 

Compost heaps and topless 

bins need to be protected from 

heavy winter rains. Heavy plastic 

fertiliser bags are ideal, as they 

help keep the bin warm, but sheets 

of corrugated iron are satisfactory. 

Keep coverings in place with 

rocks or bricks. 

Compost heaps take longer 

to rot down at this time of the 

year and should be turned over 

regularly, a messy job but one well 

worth the effort. 

A rotating barrel composter 

makes this job easy and a 

simple version can be made by a 

competent home handyman. 

If fowl manure is available, 

added to the compost bin, its 

Compost heaps take longer to rot down at this time of the year and should be turned over 

regularly. 

strong nitrogen content will speed 

up the decomposition process. 

Wear a mask or tie a scarf 

around the nose and mouth if 

gathering dry manure from a 

henhouse. 

Green manure crops that 

have reached 15cm or higher 

should be dug in from now on, 

so the ground can be used for 

sowing early crops in August or 

September. 

Left too long, the raw material 

will not have decomposed 

sufficiently for seeds to germinate. 

The most active soil microorganisms 

are in the top 15cm, so, 

for rapid decomposition, chop the 

green crops with a spade and turn 

under the surface only. 

Adding garden lime at the same 

time will aid the process and keep 

the soil sweet and easier to work 

later. 

Leave the soil surface as 

rough as possible for frosts and 

weather to break it up into better 

condition. 

Slow growth in the colder 

months extends the time flowers 

stay on the plants. 

Erica carnea varieties make up 

the main winter-flowering group 

and will tolerate some lime in the 

soil. 

Erica darleyensis flowers for the 

longest period, bearing masses 

of small, coral-pink flowers from 

mid-June onwards. 

Fruit 

This is the time to buy raspberries, 

blackberries, boysenberries, 

loganberries, youngberries and 

tayberries, as they are planted 

when relatively dormant. 

Tayberries are increasingly 

popular as they make excellent 

jam, as well as being a good 

dessert fruit. 

One plant would be sufficient 

for a small family, as established 

plants crop heavily. 

Black Satin and Navaho are 

thornless blackberries that fruit 

on the previous season’s wood, 

while Mapua, Tasman and 

McNichol’s Choice are almostspineless 

boysenberries. 

Like raspberries, these 

brambles all give better crops 

if grown in moist soil to which 

plenty of manure or compost has 

been added. 

Erica darleyensis flowers for a long period, bearing masses of small, coral-pink flowers from 

mid-June onwards. 

Flowers 

The last penstemons are still 

blooming, adding a touch of 

colour when other perennials 

have tucked down for winter. 

They are hardy, reliable plants, 

with flowers in shades of red, pink 

and purple, as well as white. 

Purple Passion is a good, deep 

colour, while lavender Alice 

Hindley and pink Susan are ideal 

for corners where softer colours 

are wanted. 

Ericas provide a touch of 

purple, red, pink or white winter 

colour. 

The versatility of tayberries is 

making them an increasingly 

popular to crop to grow.

Autumn leaves: beautiful yet damaging 

No one denies the beauty of autumn 

leaves – and leaf-scuffing is a timehonoured 

pleasure for all people, young 

and old! But if falling leaves get clogged 

into your guttering, the situation can 

quickly become quite a different story. 

Leaves in the guttering lead to leaves in 

the spouting and down pipes. 

This can do significant damage to your 

costly spouting, due to the acidity of the 

leaf litter. 

Worse, if the spouting and down pipes 

become blocked, flooding into the eaves 

and soffit (overhanging section of roof), 

and from there, into the house, is a 

common – and costly – consequence. 

Local company Gumleaf Gutter Guard 

is well known across the region for its 

innovative yet simple gutter guards that 

protect your spouting, eaves and house. 

The guards keep out everything from leaf 

litter to hail to snow to nesting birds and 

even rats. Quite simply, they extend the 

life of the spouting to the life of the roof. 

Gumleaf Gutter Guard was developed 

in Australia more than 20 years ago, and 

has been providing a quality and effective 

solution in New Zealand for the last 

decade. Company owner Rohan Rudd 

offers great customer service and speedy 

turnaround. He is available Monday to 

Saturday to speak to customers who call, 

customers requesting a quote receive it 

within 24 hours, and Rohan says he will 

“go anywhere to provide a quote”. Rohan 

is happy to install the guards, although 

the ease of the design is such that the 

installation is 100% DIY-friendly. 

Thanks to Gumleaf ’s partnership with 

Alps Continuous Spouting, you can 

now access a coordinated design and 

install of any aspect of quality spouting 

and guttering, Gumleaf gutterguarding, 

fascia, downpipes and any other weather

Town and Country Gates: 

Quality and style 

Town and Country Gates specialises 

in the design and manufacture of quality 

aluminium gates, powdercoated to your 

choice of colour and finish. These gates 

can range in size from driveway to garden 

gate to poolside. An amazing selection of 

styles is available, from ornate to simple 

to traditional to classic to modern. They 

will even custom design a gate to your 

personal specifications and tastes. 

Town and Country Gates also offers a 

beautiful selection of gates and fences in 

steel and timber, including aluminium 

gates with wood infill. Styles include 

louvred, slat and open rail. 

Check out the beautiful photos on the 

website to marvel at just how many types 

of style are available. While you’re there, 

have a play with the “Gate Visualiser” 

tool, where you can pick a style then select 

from the attractive range of colours. 

Installation is also an essential part of 

the service, and can be designed to meet 

your needs. Perhaps you have a priority 

on privacy, or on security. Or perhaps 

the area to be gated is at a tricky size or 

angle. Installation options include sliding, 

cantilever, bi-fold, automated, keypads or 

lock latches, and security audio and video 

intercoms. 

Not only providing new, Town and 

Country Gates is a one-stop shop for all 

things gate, whether they installed it or 

not. Repairs and welding needed? No 

problem. Already like your gates but want 

them automated? Automation systems 

can be fitted retrospectively, just ask the 

experts. 

In its 21st year of operation, Town 

and Country Gates is thrilled to be 

fully operational from its purposebuilt 

workshop in Rolleston Izone. It’s 

testament to this family business’s ongoing 

success that this expansion became 

a necessity, and they are now better 

equipped than ever to supply stunning 

gates and fences to properties across 

Canterbury. 

Call Sue or Neville to discuss your ideas. 

You’ll get a friendly, family-style welcome, 

and the team will visit you for a free, no 

obligation measure and quote. You’ll soon 

see how this company has become so 

trusted and successful.

Creating dramatic effects in smaller spaces 

You don’t have to have the biggest front 

garden or the most spacious backyard to 

create a sense of drama, structure and 

occasion. 

In a smaller street frontage, skilled 

combination of structural elements, hard 

landscaping and well-chosen planting, 

all within a bold and consistent colour 

palate, can define shape and purpose and 

create beauty. In a smaller area behind 

or to the side of a house, it only needs 

one dramatic design decision to create 

surprise, humour and a destination for all 

the household to enjoy, even the pets! 

Landscaping successes like this don’t 

happen by accident. They require design, 

by those experienced in the field and 

with knowledge of all the contemporary 

materials and options available right now. 

The Outdoor Space has been creating 

magic in Selwyn’s gardens since 2009. 

It is family owned and operated, 

based in Rolleston and working across 

the district. Aaron leads the team 

of professional landscape designers, 

landscape construction team and garden 

maintenance specialists. Its projects 

range from working within existing 

gardens and spaces, to designing for the 

new builds that are springing up all over 

Selwyn – domestic and commercial. 

Reach out this team of experts for 

any matters to do with your outdoor 

space. Perhaps you’re considering new 

plantings. Aaron says: “Many clients 

appreciate our handson 

and collaborative 

approach – we discuss 

options with you 

and then bring the 

plants to site and place 

them out so that you 

can see exactly what 

is proposed. Once 

you’re happy, we’ll do 

the planting. All our 

plants are sourced 

from local nurseries 

and we have even started growing a few 

ourselves.” 

If you love your outdoor space but 

don’t have the capacity to maintain it 

yourself, don’t let this be a barrier to your 

enjoyment. The maintenance support 

offered includes any aspects of mowing, 

aeration, dethatching, leaf clearance, 

feeding, and control of weeds, fungus and 

pests, that you require. This maintenance 

support can be one-off or regular at the 

frequency you choose. 

Quality landscaping services that create 

real impact take time to design, plan and 

implement. Use late autumn and winter 

to get a head start – contact The Outdoor

Is frost affecting one 

of your main assets? 

• By Isabelle Teresa 

Frosts are already upon us, and you’ve probably 

taken the necessary precautions for your home 

and outdoor surroundings by now. But have you 

considered one of your other most important 

assets? 

If you own a car, you may not have a garage or 

carport to park it in, especially in these times of 

densified housing. 

If your car is in the drive or on the street, it’s 

inevitably going to be affected by our powerful 

Selwyn frosts, so it’s best to have plans in place 

for what you should and shouldn’t do. 

Preventing frost on the outside 

Cover the windows, viewing mirrors and 

windscreen the night before. Purpose-bought 

items will be the right shape and most efficient 

fabric, but it’s also possible to use large towels or 

old duvet covers, if you can secure them in place. 

Bear in mind that when you take the covers 

off, you need somewhere handy to put them, 

especially to get them dry to re-use that night. 

Preventing fogginess on the inside 

Homemade remedies can also work here, but 

automative glass cleaner is designed to add a 

coating that repels water and stops that fogginess 

from happening in the first place. Pretty 

tempting, in comparison to keeping an old damp 

towel in the car that leaves fibres and smears. 

Dealing with frost on the windscreen 

Do not pour hot or even warm water on the 

windscreen, as the glass could crack. 

Prep a bucket of cold water the night before, and 

keep it just inside your back door. If the ice is 

so thick that you also need an ice scraper, use a 

proper one, not any other tool. You might be able 

to pick up the official Selwyn District Council ice 

scraper for free at any of their facilities. 

Dealing with frost in the locks 

If your first attempt to unlock the car or open 

the door doesn’t work, don’t force it – car door 

handles can snap if severely frosted. This is one 

instance in which it is ok to use warm water. Find 

a simple safe way of pouring a small amount over 

the handle, or if you’re more cautious, dip a towel 

in warm water and press that to the door handle 

for a minute. 

Whatever your approach, make a plan in 

advance to save yourself stress on a freezing 

morning!

SELWYN RURAL LIFE 

Advertising Feature 

Leslie Adkin: Farmer Photographer 

• By Isabelle Teresa 

This impressive book chronicles how a 

turn-of-the-century farmer became one 

of this country’s most prolific and loved 

photographers, and was a fitting finalist 

in this year’s prestigious Ockham New 

Zealand Book Awards. 

Leslie Adkin stumbled into both 

farming and photography. In 1899 his 

rich father bought the family’s first farm, 

and teenage Leslie used a camera to 

record the farm’s exciting firsts. Soon 

hooked, he continued to document all his 

explorations throughout life, seemingly 

getting more satisfaction from this than 

from his own farming. Although his father 

bought him land, it was badly chosen and 

a constant struggle. However its setting 

in the Tararua Ranges brought Leslie to 

his life successes: he explored, mapped 

and photographed the mountains 

extensively, ultimately making important 

contributions to the origins of organised 

tramping in this country, to academic 

geological discovery and to the mapping 

and understanding of Māori placenames. 

At the same time, Leslie documented 

his personal life. His posed, complex 

tableaux of family events are creative 

masterpieces, deploying humour and 

directorial skill. He also captured small 

moments of domestic rural life: his 

sisters washing up, siblings at the dining 

room table, Māori shearers on smoko, 

family members relaxing or playing. 

The activities, clothing and furnishings 

in these photos give important insights 

into life in those times, but the greater 

impact of these b&w images is their almost 

otherworldly beauty. The familiar colours 

and textures of classic kiwi rural scenes 

are rendered luminous by the well 

executed glass plate photography. 

Most astonishing are the pictures 

documenting his relationship with 

Maud. Held back from declaring love 

until Leslie could establish himself 

as “a man of means”, their courtship 

was long. However, Leslie’s photos 

of their stolen courtship moments 

are breathtaking in their intensity 

and intimacy. Then once married, 

his photo of Maud with their first 

baby – in bed, the day after the 

birth – is quite simply unheard 

of from that era. It is these photos that 

reach beyond eras and ensure that Leslie 

Adkin will be one of NZ’s most loved 

photographers for generations to come. 

Published by Te Papa Press and written 

and compiled by Athol McCredie, Curator 

Photography at Te Papa and a longterm 

advocate for Adkin’s work, Leslie Adkin: 

Farmer Photographer is a comprehensive 

yet accessible bringing together of Adkin’s 

passions and achievements as focused 

through photography. This handsome 

volume is a delight to either study or 

browse. It would make a wonderful present 

for any lovers of NZ history, rural living, 

tramping, photography, art… and love. 

With thanks to Te Papa Press for the 

review copy.

New MG3 a punchy, quirky little hatch 

THE DIMINUTIVE MG3 hatch, 

one of the first offspring sold here 

from MG tying the knot with 

Chinese automotive giant SAIC, 

now has a more modern and 

sophisticated successor. 

The MG3 and larger EV-only 

MG4 are the only surviving 

hatchbacks in the New Zealand 

range. That could all change in 

the next 12 months with a raft of 

new arrivals. 

Among them the sensational 

Cyberster EV Sports coupe with 

an equally sensational price tag 

that only leaves you small change 

from $130,000. 

This latest MG3 offers two 

variants, Hybrid+ and MG3 

(petrol) with two distinct grade 

options – Excite and Essence, 

with both well equipped. 

The four model range 

comprises two petrol engines 

starting $25,990 for the entry 

level Excite with a $2k price bump 

to the more generously specified 

Essence. 

The hybrid Excite commands 

a hefty $4k premium over the 

equivalent petrol, that’s repeated 

with the Essence in petrol and 

hybrid forms. 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

The most expensive Essence 

hybrid was supplied for this 

road test, although the Excite 

isn’t without appeal at $2k less 

– especially if you are on tighter 

new car buying budget. 

At the heart of these 

advancements is the 

introduction of a new 1.5-litre 

Hybrid+ four-cylinder engine 

that charges while you drive. 

This latest MG3 is far more 

expensive than the old one. 

There is some justification 

for this given it is a complete 

redesign from the ground up 

including a new platform, new 

exterior and interior, as well as 

superior performance, reduced 

CO2 emissions and improved 

fuel economy. 

The look and feel of the 

cabin closely mirrors its larger 

stablemate the EV-only MG4 

hatch. 

It’s a pity it didn’t draw a 

bit more on the clean modern 

styling of its sibling rather 

opting for the awkward and 

unimaginative lines they settled 

for. 

To me, it’s the biggest let down 

in an otherwise well-engineered 

and designed compact hatch. 

The company has shown they 

can create eye-catching looking 

vehicles with the MG4 and 

recently launched of mid-sized 

HS SUV. 

The Hybrid+ has squeaky 

green credentials with claimed 

CO2 emissions of 111g/km and 

fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km 

and a kerb weight of 1298kg 

(Hybrid+ Excite), 1308kg 

(Hybrid+ Essence). Petrol models 

are a trimmer 1199kg. 

The hybrid, with a combined 

petrol/electric power output has 

a best in class 155kW, is a little 

ripper, proving responsive and 

strong. 

Tyre rumble especially on 

coarse chipped seal is tiresome 

especially on longer trips. 

Smoothness and plenty of power 

to effortlessly punch past slower 

moving traffic add to the driver 

appeal. 

I was pleasantly surprised 

at how long the test vehicle 

remained in electric-only mode 

over flat terrain in town driving, 

and it is better in this regard 

than most small hybrids I’ve 

driven recently. 

A dedicated three-speed 

hybrid transmission adds to 

the lively driving experience, 

although it is spoilt on occasions 

by gear changes that weren’t 

always on-cue or in-sync with 

the power train. 

The cabin is light, modern 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build Quality 7; 

Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 7; Value for money: 8; 

Styling 6; Safety – Three star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7 

and roomy compared to its 

dated predecessor. There is 

plenty of room for four adults 

– five is more of a squeeze, 

albeit a bearable one at least for 

short trips. There is the usual 

assortment of hard plastic 

surfaces that look better than 

they feel. 

According to the tape measure, 

this model isn’t a sizeable step 

up over the outgoing model, 

but does a great job of creating 

the perception that it is, and as 

they say, perception is reality for 

many. 

The rear hatch cargo 

compartment is superior to its 

predecessor and you can pile a 

decent amount of luggage into 

what is, at the end of the day, a 

mini-sized hatch. 

The Excite comes with halogen 

headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels, 

and connectivity options such 

as Apple CarPlay and Android 

Auto, among others. The 

Essence, for an additional $2k, 

adds a smallish sunroof, LED 

headlights, 360-degree camera 

and ability to remotely turn 

on and off the air conditioner 

or heater via MG iSmart. 

Connected services for this are 

free of charge for 1 year from the 

vehicle’s registration date. 

Safety has come in for plenty 

of attention, with enhancements 

such as adaptive cruise control, 

lane departure warning, 

automatic emergency braking, 

and blind-spot detection, just 

a taster of the many features 

available on the MG Pilot safety 

system. 

However, MG3’s impressive 

safety CV wasn’t enough to earn 

more than a recent three star 

ANCAP crash rating, although it 

was apparently close to scoring a 

more respectable four star rating. 

You can bet MG will be working 

hard to rectify this safety wobble 

and have a five star rating in 

their sites sooner than later. 

This mini hatch is no classleader 

in the ride quality stakes. 

Low speed ride comfort is off 

the pace being set by some of the 

leading models in this market 

segment. 

The suspension is also a few 

decibels on the high side to 

make the refined category. Being 

heavier than the petrol-powered 

version, the hybrid confidently 

locks itself down on the road, 

with body roll kept neatly in 

check, even in up-tempo driving 

over undulating and twisty 

terrain. 

Suspension noise during 

lower speed urban driving 

over patchwork and pot holed 

surfaces isn’t well muted at 

times. 

The steering points the vehicle 

diligently where you want it to 

go, and has just the right amount 

of road feel and weighting to 

satisfy most drivers, myself 

included.

Minor amendments to the enrolment scheme of several Canterbury Schools 

The Ministry of Education is proposing minor amendments to the enrolment schemes of Hillmorton High School, Hoon Hay

which properties are within the zones. These minor amendments clarify the zone boundaries – both written and drawn. 

There are no changes to any individual’s eligibility to enrol as a result of these minor amendments. 

To view the maps and written descriptions, please go to https://education.govt.nz/have-your-say 

The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020. 

Comments can be made to Canterbury.EnrolmentSchemes@education.govt.nz by 20 June 2025.

Rakaia Grain & Seed Store Position 

Cates, one of the first independent grain and seed companies in 

Mid Canterbury, specialises in the production and marketing of 

clover, cereals, grasses, pulses and brassicas for both domestic and 

international markets. For over 50 years, we have taken pride in the 

strong partnerships we’ve built with our loyal base of local farming 

families. 

We are looking to fill a position in our busy Rakaia grain and seed 

store. 

Reporting to the warehouse manager your duties will include serving 

farmer clients, forklift operation, seed dressing, loading containers, 

and general store duties. 

The successful applicant will have customer contact, so a friendly and 

efficient manner is essential. 

Applicants should be physically fit, have a positive attitude and an 

efficient approach to their work, and enjoy being part of a small, 

friendly team. 

Knowledge of the grain and seed industry and a current forklift 

license would be an advantage, but not necessary as full training will 

be given. 

Applications, including a current CV, close on Friday 6th June 2025 

and can be sent to: 

The Manager - Cates 

P O Box 337 

Ashburton 7740 

Or communications@cates.co.nz 

To further discuss the position, you are welcome to call 

Greg 03 302 7319 or 027 239 4977. 

All applications or expressions of interest will be treated in the 

strictest of confidence.

Carpet Comfort 

While many homes are opting for 

hardwood or laminate flooring, carpet 

is still one of the most popular choices 

for New Zealand houses as it provides 

warmth and soundproofing and is soft 

underfoot. The question often arises, 

“Is wool or synthetic carpet the best for 

me?” Both options have pros and cons, 

so consider these before making a choice 

that suits your lifestyle and preferences. 

It makes sense that wool carpet is 

a natural choice for Kiwis, with more 

sheep than people in this country. Wool 

is a sustainable product that provides a 

soft and luxurious feel, is highly durable 

and can outlast synthetic carpet. It is a 

natural insulator, helping to keep your 

home warm, and with its soundproofing 

qualities, it minimises noise levels within 

the home. Wool is naturally flameresistant 

and has a high level of waterbased 

resistance to stains but can tend to 

absorb and retain liquid. It is best to avoid 

using wool carpets in areas exposed to 

water. The price of wool carpets may be 

why people choose synthetic over wool 

options. 

While nylon, polyester, or 

polypropylene carpets are generally more 

affordable than wool carpets, they also 

have pros and cons. Carpets made from 

synthetic fibres have high stain resistance 

and are easily maintained, making them 

a practical choice for high-traffic areas 

and households with children or pets. 

However, as they are manufactured, 

sustainability and the carbon footprint 

may be factors in your decision. Another 

consideration is that solution-dyed nylon 

carpets are fade-resistant making them a 

good choice in New Zealand’s harsh direct 

sun. 

Nowadays, synthetic carpets may 

look and feel similar to wool carpeting, 

yet they may not match wool’s natural 

warmth and luxury. 

Whether you are selecting 

flooring for your new home or 

choosing to replace your existing 

flooring, the choice between wool 

and synthetic carpet comes down to 

your personal preference, budget, 

and lifestyle factors. Consider 

affordability, durability and, of 

course, comfort with the feel of the 

carpeting underfoot. Carpet is an 

investment, so choose the one that 

best suits your needs to experience 

comfort and style on your floor.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Smart storage solutions 

for small spaces 

Living in a smaller home, or making use of a 

tiny room, needn’t mean you have to put up with 

clutter. There are plenty of ways to maximise the 

space you have with smart storage solutions that 

will help your rooms feel… well, roomier. 

So, make the most of every square inch of space 

with our simple storage tips. 

Go vertical 

If you don’t have much floor space, think about 

going up – not out. Wall mounted shelves are an 

ideal solution for smaller spaces as they allow you 

to make the most of empty wall space. Consider 

fitting shelves above doorframes and windows for 

items that are rarely used. 

Similarly, tall bookcases or cabinets, will give 

you plenty of space to store your stuff without 

taking up too much room on the floor – as a 

bonus, taller furniture items can make a room feel 

bigger and less cramped. Pop some pegboards or 

hanging rails onto an empty wall to make a smart 

storage zone without taking up any floor space. 

Double duty 

To maximise your space, choose furniture 

that is multifunctional, such as beds that have 

drawers underneath, an ottoman that can be used 

as bench seating, and nesting tables that can be 

neatly tucked away when not in use. 

A convertible couch or sofa bed is a great 

investment if you’re short on space and are ideal 

for guest rooms or for visiting relatives. 

In the kitchen, extendable tables or bar carts 

can be used as both storage and preparation 

spaces; you can make the most of cupboard 

space with a Lazy Susan; while cooking utensils 

can be kept in a large pot on the hob to save on 

drawer space – just make sure you move it before 

cooking! 

Think small 

There are lots of small, often overlooked ways 

to save on space – including overdoor organisers, 

slim bins, and rolling drawers for under beds and 

sofas. 

Wall mounted racks and magnetic strips in the 

kitchen can free up drawer and worktop space by 

holding knives, spices, and other bits and pieces 

– or invest in some bigger hooks and make a 

hanging pot rack for your pots and pans, which 

not only gives you more room but also makes an 

interesting feature piece. 

Buy some vacuum seal bags to store away out 

of seasonal clothes or extra linens, these can then 

be neatly stacked up and stored away on top of a 

wardrobe or under the bed. 

Don’t cut corners 

Corners can often be dead space but make the 

most of it by fitting some handy corner shelves, or 

tucking away a corner desk or bar cart to give the 

area a function as well as storage. 

The key to living in a smaller space is to be 

intentional with your design – with a bit of 

planning even the tiniest of rooms can have big 

potential.
