Heritage 

bid in the 

way of 

plans to 

develop 

Rolly Inn 


A BID to redevelop the Rolly 

Inn site in Rolleston could be 

stopped by plans to turn the 

hotel into a heritage building. 

Owner Russell Lilley is planning, 

along with others, to pull 

down the hotel and build a bar, 

restaurant, new commercial 

buildings and a service station 

on the site. 

But the district council may 

have different plans for the Rolly 

Inn. 

Last Wednesday the district 

plan committee endorsed a 

preferred option report that 

included a bid to add the hotel, 

which was built in 1930, to the 

heritage items list. 

Mr Lilley told Selwyn 

Times that he doesn’t want the 

hotel to become a heritage item. 

He said it was “typical of the 

way the world seems to be going 

today” where people make up 

your mind for you. 

He has called the proposal to 

add the building to the heritage 

list “absolutely ridiculous.”

from the editor’s desk 

A BIT of drama in the shire in recent days. 

Armed police surrounded a house in 

Rolleston on Monday morning (see page 

3) and used a stun grenade to convince the 

wanted subject he should surrender. 

It worked. He obliged and was taken into custody without 

further incident. 

Wise man. 

In the early hours of Friday morning an 18-year-old, more 

than four times over the drink driving limit, smashed into a 

power pole after a big session in Lincoln. She was unhurt. 

Lucky girl. 

And, on Saturday yours truly was left with 15 stitches in an 

index finger after his ageing lab unexpectedly took off from the 

loose and awkward angled grip I had on the lead. 

Silly boy.

Drink driving teen to 

face court after crashing into pole 


FROM LINCOLN to Linwood 

with a brain sozzled with booze. 

And now an 18-year-old 

university student will face the 

courts after crashing her car 

into a power pole in the early 

hours of Friday morning. 


A STUN grenade was used on 

a Rolleston house during an 

armed offenders squad raid on 

Monday. 

The dramatic operation in 

Othello Drive saw a number of 

neighbouring streets cordoned 

off. Paramedics were on standby. 

But the wanted man sought 

by police was captured without 

incident about 10.30am on 

Monday. 

Sergeant Phil Bayne said the 

man had failed to appear in 

court for breach of community 

work. 

He said the arrest took about 

two and a half hours and the 

property involved was occupied 

by someone known to the man. 

The teenager recorded a 

breath alcohol reading of 898 

mcg/L after she crashed and 

struck the pole at the intersection 

of Ellesmere Junction Rd 

and Shands Rd at 12.15am. 

She had been drinking in Lincoln 

and was returning to her 

home in Linwood, said Senior 

Constable Andy Williamson. 

Miraculously she was not 

injured. 

The legal limit is 250 mcg/l 

for someone 20-years-old and 

over. Because of her age, she 

was not legally allowed to drink 

and drive. 

“Lucky she, or an innocent 

member of the public, was not 

killed,” Senior Constable Williamson 

said. 

She will appear in the 

Christchurch District Court on 

charges of careless use of a motor 

vehicle and driving with excess 

breath alcohol concentration in 

the next couple of weeks.

ANOTHER DRIVER HITS COW 

A cow was killed following 

a collision with a vehicle on 

Hororata Dunsandel Rd early on 

Monday morning. Constable Herb 

Inwood said the man driving the 

vehicle didn’t suffer any injuries 

but his vehicle was damaged. It is 

the fourth time a vehicle has hit 

wandering stock in the past couple 

of months. 

TURNING ARROW 

An arrow has been installed 

at a set of traffic lights at the 

intersection of State Highway 1 

and Rolleston Drive to try and 

stop vehicles hitting signal poles. 

About 25,000-30,000 vehicles 

drive through the intersection 

each day. Sergeant Alex Pickover 

is hopeful it will help reduce the 

crashes and risk of serious injuries 

at the intersection. Last month 

Selwyn Times learned there had 

been 17 incidents in which signal 

poles had been damaged at the 

intersection over the past 11 years. 

TWO CARS COLLIDE 

Two vehicles collided at the 

intersection of State Highway 1 and

Fire rages, homes at risk 

road safety 

Three other people – Barham’s 

other passenger, also from 

Shirley Boys’ High School, and 

two from the oncoming car – 

were injured. 

On Boxing Day 2016 Lincoln 

High School student Samuel 

Drost, Ellesmere College student 

Cole Hull and Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

student Lily Moore, all 15, were 

killed when the car they were 

passengers in failed to take a 

corner on Harts Rd near Leeston. 

They were not wearing seat 

belts. 

The 14-year-old unlicensed 

driver was seriously injured, 

while passenger Alex Brown, 

the only one wearing a seat belt, 

suffered minor injuries. 

Fifty-two of the people killed 

on Canterbury roads from 

2012-2016 were not wearing seat 

belts – the third highest in the 

country. 

That followed 61 in Auckland, 

and 56 in Bay of Plenty. 

Head students Petra Campbell, 

Taylin Smith and Carlito 

Shalfoon believe the mock crash 

was worthwhile and were appreciative 

of the time emergency 

services took out of their day to 

do the demonstration.

Taylin said the mock car crash 

has got students talking again

Heritage bid may disrupt 

plan to redevelop Rolly Inn 

•From page 1 

District councillor Craig 

Watson is backing Mr Lilley 

but his suggestion to keep the 

hotel off the heritage list did not 

receive enough support from 

fellow councillors. 

He said it would be “unfair” 

and “almost embarrassing for 

Rolleston” if the hotel 

became a heritage item. 

“It’s putting a lot of 

limitations on a hotel that 

I would argue most of 

Rolleston would not call 

a heritage building,” Cr 

Watson said. 

His advice to Mr Lilley 

is to get it demolished in 

the next two years while 

there are no restrictions in place. 

District councillor Jeff Bland 

said the building is a “great old 

pub” which has historical value. 

However, he said the owner 

would need to be on-board with 

FRUSTRATED:

owner Russell 

Lilley doesn’t

list. 

the proposal for it to work. 

“I think if you’re going to put 

a heritage order on something, it 

needs to come with agreement of 

the current land owner or owner 

of the building,” he said. 

The report detailing the proposed 

changes is expected to go 

out for initial public consultation 

in the next month. The 

consultation will then be 

considered when creating 

the draft District Plan. The 

draft plan will then go out 

for formal consultation 

before being finalised. 

The current Selwyn

located across both rural 

and urban areas.

CHANGES: A petition has been started for a second, larger dog park in Rolleston 

after a fence was installed in the Foster Park dog exercise area last week. 

Fence at dog park prompts 

users into starting petition 


MORE THAN 370 people 

have signed a petition 

for the district council to 

create a second, larger dog 

park in Rolleston. 

This follows a 

fence being built 

in the Rolleston 

dog park last week 

so part of it can 

be closed off to 

the public while 

the Selwyn Dog 

Training Club is 

taking sessions. 

Concerns have 

been raised over 

the district council’s 

new structure at the 

Foster Park dog exercise 

area on the corner of 

Springston, Rolleston and 

Goulds Rds on the Rolleston 

Community Page on 

Facebook. 

“Where was the consultation 

from the council?” 

one person commented. 

“Looks like they have 

made a total mess of the 

park. What an eyesore 

now,” another person said. 

In Brief 

WELCOMING PLAN 

Selwyn’s Welcoming Plan 

was launched on Friday. It 

outlines how the district 

council will celebrate the 

increasing population and 

diversity, and what activities 

it will deliver to ensure 

Selwyn is even more 

welcoming for newcomers 

and migrants. The plan is 

part of the two-year Welcoming 

Communities pilot 

programme which the 

district council was chosen 

to take part in along with 

eight other councils in five 

regions across the country. 

John Reid 

“Actually looks like a 

pretty good rural fence to 

me,” a person wrote. 

District council major 

projects property manager 

John Reid said it does not 

have a view on 

the petition 

and there are 

no plans for another 

dog park 

in Rolleston. 

“Any future 

developments 

will need to 

go through Annual 

or Long 

Term Plan 

processes,” he 

In 10 years the district’s 

population is expected to 

grow to 79,000. This is a 

significant increase from 

the current population of 

59,000. 

FIRST AID COURSE 

The Ladbrooks Community 

Hall Committee is 

sponsoring an accredited 

first aid course on September 

15 and 16. There are 

free places available for 

residents of the Ladbrooks 

rating area. For more information 

phone 322 4490 

in the evenings or email 

said. 

Mr Reid said the fence is 

a result of complaints from 

people about training 

sessions being difficult to 

conduct when other dogs 

are running through the 

area. 

“Public dog owners are 

also finding it hard to supervise 

their dogs without 

interrupting dog training,” 

he said. 

The Selwyn Dog Training 

Club uses the park on 

Tuesdays, Wednesdays 

and Thursdays from 6.30- 

9pm, on Sundays from 

10am-noon and on the 

occasional weekend for 

competitions. 

There is no final cost for 

the fence yet as it has just 

been completed. However, 

in July Mr Reid told Selwyn 

Times it was expected 

to cost about $5000-$7000. 

The fence is a permanent 

structure. However, it is 

being described as “temporary” 

because it will 

have a number of large 

gates that will be left open, 

except when the club is 

running a training session.

‘To Think’ 

‘A mark, a sign.’ 

‘Anything serving as a reminder – token of rememberance” 

Little River Gallery shows for the second time a collaborative exhibition by Robin Slow (painting), Brian Flintoff 

(carving) and Bob Bickerton (soundscape). This year they follow on in the tradition of visually forwarding 

histories and stories to be reflected on and become immersed in. 

Robin Slow an artist whose work is also held in private collections, galleries and marae throughout the country 

has used paint to create traditional forms used in conjunction with natural forms. The method of producing the 

work has a traditional background but there has been an evolving of techniques and materials. This series of 

works takes some traditional tohu, be it in the form of the composition, the patterns created or the creatures. It 

explores the past and present to produce another tohu and that is the sign towards the future. 

For many years, Brian Flintoff has created taonga puoro (musical instruments) for players and musicians 

throughout the country. Not only do these create unique sounds but he has carved into them the stories and 

histories that are woven into their function. His works are held in many major galleries throughout the world as 

well as collections and marae here in Aotearoa. 

From the painted images, carvings and reference points each has used in their works, Bob Bickerton created a 

CD to enhance aspects visually but aurally as well to form a piece to be contemplated on and be enriched by. 

Tohu (signs) surround us manifesting before and through our differing senses. Presented as a-tinana 

(physical) and wha wairua (spiritual) appearances, patterns, actions, sounds of the surrounding environment 

encompassing the seen and unseen, the ora and the mate.

EVENTS REGULARY POSTED ON 

At the heart of Lincoln 

40 years of acting 

Established in 1977, 

Kirwee Players has 

a long history of 

providing shows 

in Selwyn. Kirwee 

resident Mable 

Knight has been 

involved with the 

group for 40 years. 

Emily O’Connell talks 

to her about her love 

for theatre 

What made you join the 

Kirwee Players? 

My love of theatre, really. 

I came from Hokitika 

on the West Coast and 

there wasn’t anything like 

that. They had a Hokitika 

society going then. I was 

really busy, I was a primary 

school teacher. So when 

I came over here I went 

to their second show and 

I came home and said: 

‘That’s it, that’s for me.’ I 

really loved it. I’ve been 

in most of the shows ever 

since. 

Why did you move from 

Hokitika to Kirwee? 

I was teaching and I 

took up a teaching job in 

Christchurch. I went from 

Hokitika Primary School 

to Oaklands School . . . I 

got tired of driving into the 

sun in the morning and 

the sun coming back and I 

went to Sheffield Primary 

School and absolutely loved 

the country school teaching. 

How long did you teach 

at Sheffield Primary 

School for? 

I think it was something 

like 13 or 14 years. 

Have you lived anywhere 

other than Hokitika 

and Kirwee? 

I was born in Westport 

and then went to training 

college then after training 

college, with marriage 

and what-not, I lived in 

Hokitika and taught in 

CREATIVE: Former 

primary school teacher 

Mable Knight’s passion 

for music goes back to 

her childhood. 

Hokitika. I taught pretty 

well continuously for 

nearly 30 years. 

What did you learn 

from teaching? 

I learnt that children can 

surprise you all the time. 

Children are always wanting 

to learn more and if 

you can open up their eyes, 

they’ll take it on for themselves. 

I think the role of 

the teacher is to give them 

the tools and then they 

have urge to go further. 

What’s your favourite 

thing about Kirwee? 

We’ve been farmers you 

see, so I still love the openair 

space. It’s quite funny 

after living on a farm you 

come into a subdivision 

where there’s houses and 

neighbours and things 

. . . I wouldn’t go anywhere 

else other than Kirwee 

because I think the people 

of Kirwee, and Malvern in 

particular, are really nice. 

We’ve got all our friends 

here and we just like the 

lifestyle out here. 

What type of farming 

did you do? 

My husband David was 

SELWYN TIMES 

a farmer when I married 

him and at Courtenay, 

mostly we raised dairy 

heifers and sheep and had 

some bulls. 

How has Kirwee 

changed since you’ve lived 

there? 

The Kirwee district itself 

with subdivisions and that 

has really grown but I love 

living out in the country, 

I could never go to the 

city. I also sing with the 

Christchurch City Chorus, 

I’ve been there for 25 years 

too and that’s in the city. 

That’s the only reason I 

really go into the city. And 

that again is singing, 

a capella, barber shop style 

and I’ve been overseas 

backwards and forwards 

with the Sweet Adelines 

International for a number 

of years now. 

Have you always been 

into theatre and singing? 

How did it start? 

Well after church on a 

Sunday night . . . we’d sit 

around mum’s organ and 

we’d sing. And I have a 

twin sister and we used to 

always love harmonising. 

What’s your favourite 

type of song to sing? 

I love ballads. Ballads 

that tell a story. Some of 

today’s songs that Adele 

sings, people like that, that 

you can relate to the words, 

that’s the kind of ballad I 

like to sing. 

What has made you stay 

with the Kirwee Players? 

I enjoy the people, the 

group. They’ve worked 

really hard over the years, 

the Kirwee Players, to get 

to where they are today. It’s 

been a continual growing 

journey for the Kirwee 

Players, it really has. The 

productions now are so 

professional that I still 

think they’re the envy of 

some of the Christchurch 

groups, I’m just saying 

that, but I think they are.

TALENT: Mable Knight says it’s her love for theatre which got her involved with the Kirwee 

Players 40 years ago and the people 

100% 

CapItal GaIn 

to the ResIDent 

What has been the most 

memorable show you’ve been a 

part of and why? 

Well I took the role of Bloody 

Mary in South Pacific and then 

I’ve directed shows too . . . it’s a 

great role [playing Bloody Mary] 

to do and I love the songs I had to 

sing . . . I just love playing strong 

character roles . . . But I’ve also 

thoroughly enjoyed working 

backstage and I’ve been on the 

committee for a good number of 

years. 

How has the Kirwee Players 

changed since you’ve been a part 

of it? 

I think we have continually 

updated and upgraded our sound 

and our lighting and all the technical 

things we can do on stage. 

We’re really improved those over 

the years. I think we run more 

professionally now. 

How did you get into directing? 

I used to write children’s 

shows when I taught at Sheffield 

Primary School and I’d put on 

an annual production and I’d 

involve the whole school. So I 

would write the story line and 

then I would put it on every year 

and I used to love doing that with 

the children at Sheffield Primary. 

And then with Kirwee Players, I 

was in the chorus and then I took 

roles on and I really enjoyed it. 

Then I was asked to direct one 

year and I did and I thoroughly 

enjoyed that experience too. 

Where do you see the future 

of the Kirwee Players? 

My generation, we’re looking 

for people to come in and fill our 

slots. You know what I mean? We 

can’t always be there. The aim of 

the Kirwee Players is to get more 

youth on the committee. We have 

got quite a young committee now 

which is really good for those of 

us who are a lot older now and 

see ourselves moving back off it 

. . . we’re lucky because when we 

audition for people to come in to 

shows, we’re getting them from 

the city, we’re getting them coming 

out and we have our regulars 

too but we’re always looking for 

new blood.

HAVE YOUR SAY: The district council is calling for public 

consultation on its current District Plan. 

District Plan 

consultation open 

THE PUBLIC is being asked 

to have their say on the current 

District Plan. 

The plan is essentially the district’s 

rule book on how land can 

be used and developed. 

A review is being undertaken 

by the district council to make 

sure it’s still fit for purpose and 

up to date with any relevant 

changes which have happened 

since the last plan was notified. 

All councils are required to review 

their plan every 10 years. 

The district council recently 

released draft changes to a range 

of topics in the plan for public 

feedback. 

District council environmental 

services manager Tim Harris 

said it wants to ensure that the 

new plan helps rural, business 

and residential areas to thrive. 

“At the same time we want to 

make sure our district remains 

uniquely Selwyn – protecting 

the things that are important to 

the character of the district, and 

managing our natural and physical 

resources in a sustainable way. 

“The plan potentially affects a 

wide cross-section of the community. 

It controls the things 

you can do on your property, for 

example, and what activities are 

allowed to take place in different 

parts of the district. 

“It’s important that we hear 

from as many people as possible 

to check on whether we’re on 

the right track with the draft 

changes we’re proposing.” 

The changes being considered 

in this phase of consultation 

span across 22 different topics 

which are likely to have most 

impact and be of most interest to 

the wider public. 

Topics have been grouped 

into four categories according 

to where they occur and who 

they’re most likely to affect 

business, rural, residential and 

district-wide. 

“Anyone can provide their 

feedback on the draft changes 

proposed so far. We encourage 

you to also provide any supporting 

facts, data, examples and 

documentation to support your 

comments.” 

More topics are expected to 

be added to the consultation 

summary document later in the 

month. 

Feedback from this consultation 

will help inform the new 

rules to be included in the proposed 

plan, which is expected 

to be notified for formal public 

consultation in early 2020. 

The new plan is anticipated 

to be in place, subject to any 

Environment Court appeals, in 

early 2022. Until then any new 

resource applications will be assessed 

against the current plan. 

•Feedback can be 

provided online, at drop-in 

sessions this month and 

next, by email or post. It 

is open until October 8.

More housing can only be a good thing 

Rolleston 

resident 

Alice Watson 

is studying a 

Bachelor of 

Agriculture 

at Lincoln 

University 

and talks 

about the housing boom in 

the district 

When travelling through and 

around Rolleston, it’s almost 

impossible to go far without 

passing either an advertisement 

for a new or growing subdivision 

or houses under construction. 

The booming residential expansion 

that began in the wake 

of the 2010/11 earthquakes 

seems to have proven itself the 

gift that keeps on giving. 

As a fairly sheltered Lincoln 

student I could easily grumble 

on about the downsides of the 

continuous disappearance of 

so many trees and paddocks, 

but the benefits of the rapid 

developments in the district are 

undeniable. 

Plentiful housing seems to be 

helping keep properties (relatively) 

affordable, which certainly 

beat wrangling shortages 

akin to those up the northern 

end of the nation. 

For young professionals and 

students, the continued construction 

of new houses makes 

the area quite attractive; there 

aren’t many places in this country 

so near a major city where 

the weekly rent can be almost 

equal to your grocery bill. 

Financials aside, many I’ve 

met have expressed their enjoyment 

of Rolleston and Lincoln’s 

‘out-of-town’ feel and the spaciousness, 

with Christchurch 

close enough to be convenient. 

The peace and pace works 

for retirees and families, and 

number of schools in the area 

has almost tripled in the last 

five years. 

All in all, this little area seems 

to suit people at every stage of 

life; for growing a community 

this can only be a good thing. 

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Rolleston resident Alice Watson talks 

about the increase of housing in the district and its effects. 

Readers respond to the 

potholes on West Belt in 

Lincoln being filled in by 

Christmas 

Gayle Elizabeth Lord – 

Well they deserve to have this 

pothole fixed after so long but 

maybe then some of the ones 

around from the earthquake 

could get done properly. Sick of 

patch-ups that fail as soon as we 

get rain. Doesn’t do much for a 

car’s suspension when you can’t 

see the hole in the dark. Actually 

not very good for my teeth either. 

Barry Clarke – Lots of 

potholes everywhere, council too 

busy making cycle lanes to fix 

potholes, I don’t mind cycle lanes 

but the cyclists still ride on the 

footpath or road. 

Taina Kahutia Tawhitopou 

Connell – What a joke. 

Readers respond to the 

fourth car v cow crash in 

the past couple of months 

Eileen Gundesen – We 

used to have a farm with cows. 

Often I would find members 

of the public in our paddocks, 

picnicking, picking watercress 

from our water races or picking 

up wood or pine cones. They got 

into the paddocks via the gates, 

often leaving them open or not 

latched correctly. So don’t always 

blame the farmers. 

Bruce Marshall – Police 

are reminding motorists to keep 

speed down at night which is 

good advice especially in rural 

areas. However, livestock has no 

place on roads at anytime unless 

being shifted along a road in a 

controlled manner. Owners of 

livestock need to lift their game. 

Janys Rebecca Harrison 

– Here’s an idea – the cattle 

farmers should be fined if their 

cows cause any crashes like this. 

Cars and cows obviously do not 

go together very well. If there’s a 

repeat of this, somebody could 

get seriously injured or even die. 

Nicola Loach – I know these 

are cows, but this should also be 

a polite reminder to horse riders 

to make themselves as visible 

as they can if road riding, and 

ensure all gates and fences are 

secure. What a terrible outcome 

for everyone. 

Annette Wilson – Phone 

*555. The farmer can’t get 

the stock off the road if he 

doesn’t know about it. The police 

work with the farmers. No one 

wants the public injured or the 

stock. 

Kathryn Macgregor – 

Farmers in Selwyn need to be 

spoken to.

Kirkwood–Technology, ‘Opportunities’ 

‘Schooling for the Whole Child’ 

The focus of a successful school is the pupil. The growth of our children at Kirkwood is 

supported by the many extension opportunities we offer over and above our classroom activities. 

We work on extending learning opportunities in a number of areas. 

Technology 

Some of the highlights in our 

technology area include: 

• Robotics; 

• 3D Printing; 

• EPro8 Challenge; 

• Fashion Design and Make. 

Technology is a favourite area for 

many students due to the ‘handson’ 

problem solving approach to 

learning. 

Extension Groups, Competitions 

and Events 

Our students have many opportunities to participate in various 

competitions and events offered at Kirkwood. 

These include: 

• University of Canterbury Academic 

Competitions; 

• Cantamath; 

• Canterbury-Westland Science Fair; 

• Science Badges; 

• Blue Light PCT competition; 

• Otago Problem Solving; 

• Publishing of a school magazine; 

• Art Cup; 

• Kids’Lit Quiz; 

• Orchestra;

Rolleston, West 

Melton school 

bands on quest 

to be rock stars 

THEY MAY be young but they 

know how to rock. 

Selwyn schools took to the 

stage last week in the Canterbury 

regional Rockshop Bandquest. 

Bandquest is a nationwide music 

contest for intermediate and primary 

school pupils. 

The competition is in its eighth 

year and attracted 46 bands in 

the Canterbury region, which 

competed over three nights at St 

Margaret’s College. 

Rolleston School band Storm 

Breaker were third in last 

Tuesday’s event. West Melton 

School pupil Islan McPherson 

was named ‘killer’ guitarist on the 

same night for his playing skills. 

Event organiser Matt Ealand 

said the performances mixed 

sophistication with a lack of 

self-consciousness, enhanced 

by the supportive framework of 

Bandquest. 

“They’ve been watching TV and 

YouTube, they’re aware of what 

established musicians are doing 

Hamish, Blake and 

Trent were among 

the West Melton 

School pupils at a 

plantout day in the 

Kowhai Sanctuary on 

Thompsons Rd. In 

addition to planting 

440 natives, the 

pupils studied aquatic 

invertebrates from the 

Waimakariri River and 

terrestrial invertebrates 

in the plants. The trip 

was made possible 

with support of 

parents, Enviroschools, 

Te Ara Kakariki 

and Environment 

Canterbury. 

SCHOOLS 

and they want to emulate them,” 

he said. 

“Rockshop Bandquest is a 

confidence-builder that lifts their 

game musically, and they tend 

to take that with them to high 

school, with proven benefits 

socially and academically.” 

Rockshop spokesman Hamish 

Jackson said for many of the 

pupils, Rockshop Bandquest is 

the biggest musical moment of 

their lives. “Bandquest provides a 

unique opportunity to kids at this 

age. It’s all about participation and 

giving it a go. The kids definitely 

throw themselves into it and the 

results have been amazing,” he 

said. 

More than 215 bands have entered 

Rockshop Bandquest across 

the country this year, performing 

in events which started on August 

20 and are set to finish on Monday 

night. The national final will be 

broadcast online with the results 

announced on September 20.

SELWYN TIMES 

Lincoln High students win 

award for creative maths 

TWO LINCOLN High 

School year 9 students won an 

Cantamath ‘outstanding’ award 

last Wednesday for their use of 

maths to create a dress. 

Alexandra Causer and Kate 

Hill were presented the award 

in front of a large crowd at 

Horncastle Arena during the 

Cantamath teams competition. 

The award is reserved for 

a piece of work that stands 

well above all others in its 

appearance, creativity and 

mathematical content. 

Out of about 1000 displays 

entered in the Cantamath 

competition this year, 

PLAN: Alexandra 

and Kate provided 

an in-depth 

write-up of the 

mathematics 

involved in the 

design and 

construction of 

their dress. 

three were presented with 

‘oustanding’ awards. 

The students designed 

and produced the dress 

using mathematical concepts 

and provided an in-depth 

write-up of the mathematics 

involved in its design and 

construction. 

Have you found a mystery 

rock around Faringdon? 

Lemonwood Grove School pupils have decorated Faringdon 

by placing rocks painted with positive messages around the 

community. It was part of a project that aimed to link the 

school to the growing neighbourhood. Explore the green 

spaces in Faringdon and see if you can find a rock, then read it 

and place it somewhere else for other residents to find.

Selwyn Times 

Etiquette for 

dog owners 

With spring just around the corner, our district’s dog owners will be taking advantage of the 

warmer weather to enjoy all of the great outdoor facilities we have to offer. 

Around the district there are 36 parks where dogs can run off leashes, although there are some 

minor rules which owners need to abide by. This includes staying at least five metres away from 

activities like sporting fixtures and facilities such as playgrounds. 

Prohibited dog exercise areas include golf courses on Council Reserves, skate parks, secondary 

and primary schools and the Springston South Domain. 

Senior Animal Control Officer Steve Clarke says the Council wants to see everyone in the 

community enjoy what the Selwyn district has to offer. 

“The key to having a good balance between dog owners and general facility users is making sure 

that the owners have their animals under effective control. 

“We are happy to see dog owners running their pets, but we also want to see them respect other 

users of facilities, that’s why we need owners to have effective control of their dogs. 

“What we mean by effective control is owners being able to call their dogs back quickly if they are 

causing any issues to other users.” 

Mr Clarke asks owners to have their dogs under effective control in public spaces where wildlife 

is present. 

He says for the most part Animal Control is really happy with the level of responsibility Selwyn dog 

owners show when exercising their pets. 

If anyone does want to report anti-social behaviour they can call the Council line on 

347 2800. 

Not grate 

in Leeston 

Our grates covering sumps on 

Selwyn Street in Leeston are 

being dunked or stolen, and 

this is causing a significant 

safety risk to road users and 

pedestrians. Over the last two 

weeks five sump grates have 

been lifted up and dumped into 

the sump, or stolen. Grates are 

cast iron, and very heavy so 

would take a lot of strength 

to move. 

Council is asking those 

responsible to please stop 

and for the public to keep an 

eye out, and if they see any 

suspicious activity around the 

Selwyn Street area to give 

Council a call on (03) 347-2800 

Have a Go Day a hit in Darfield 

Over 800 people spent their Sunday at the Darfield Domain and 

Recreation Centre, attending this years Have a Go Day. 

Have a Go Day is designed to showcase the sport and recreation 

activities Darfield and the wider Selwyn district has to offer, inviting 

residents to have a go at a variety of sports. 

District Review - Family flats 

With our current District Plan up for review, Selwyn District Council 

has put a range of topics and draft changes out for public consultation. 

The District Plan is essentially the district’s rule book on how land 

can be used and developed. The Council is undertaking the review 

to make sure the Plan is still fit for purpose and up to date. All 

councils are required to review their District Plan every 10 years. 

Currently there are 22 topics out for consultation and over the next 

few weeks we will look at some of the key topics and the potential 

changes being considered. 

One topic the Council has identified as needing to be reviewed in 

the current District Plan is family flats. 

Under the current rules there has been potential confusion around 

who can live in a family flat, how big it can be, how many flats can 

be put up on one property and how they can be designed to reflect 

the look and feel of the surrounding area. 

Draft changes which we are considering for the new District Plan include: 

· amending the definition of family flat to make it clear it’s a minor 

residential unit which needs to be held in the same ownership as 

the main dwelling and is associated with the main dwelling. 

· removing the requirement that only family members can live in a 

family flat. As result there would be no limit on who may occupy 

the flat. 

· developing new standards which a minor residential unit needs to 

comply with if it’s to be allowed without a resource consent. 

All key draft changes and a survey for you to have a say on these 

changes can be found at www.selwyn.govt.nz/dprfamilyflats 

Consultation is open until 5pm, Monday 8 October. 

It’s important to note that the District Plan doesn’t determine 

the property rates or Development Contributions. Rates are set 

through the Council’s Annual Plan and Long Term Plan processes, 

while Development Contributions are set by the Development 

Contributions Policy.

Backyard Critters 

Rolleston travel 

agent wins 

bronze award 

A ROLLESTON travel agency has 

been recognised at the Helloworld 

Gala Dinner. 

Helloworld Rolleston’s Yvette 

Dyer took out bronze for outstanding 

success in sales revenue. 

The award is a celebration 

of the past year’s sales and is 

bench-marked against other 

branches across Helloworld’s 70 

independently-owned branches 

nationwide. 

It was presented by 

Helloworld’s management 

and the comedy 

duo Jono and Ben. 

Helloworld Rolleston 

owners Paul and 

Yvette 

Dyer 

Sue Robinson are 

proud to have Miss 

Dyer as part of the 

high-performing 

Rolleston team and this award is 

testament to her professionalism 

and continued focus on her 

clients. 

“It’s fantastic that Miss Dyer’s 

efforts are rewarded,” they said. 

“There are some amazing 

journeys out there for people to 

see and we are continually excited 

to be part of the process, it’s 

almost as if we undertake the trip 

with our clients and we can’t wait 

to help our growing database to 

new and vibrant places.” 

Mike 

Bowie is an 

ecologist who 

specialises in 

entomology 

(insects 

and other 

invertebrates). Each 

week he introduces a 

new species found in 

his backyard at Lincoln. 

His column aims to raise 

public awareness of 

biodiversity, the variety 

of living things around 

us. Check out the full list 

of invertebrates found at

nz/projects/backyardbiodiversity-bugs-inlincoln 

ONE OF the most interesting 

spider families are the jumping 

spiders or salticidae. 

Thirty species have been 

described by arachnologists in 

New Zealand, but it has been 

estimated that as many as 150- 

200 species of jumping spiders 

occur here. 

Salticidae are distinguished 

by a square-fronted head, with 

four large, forwardly- pointed 

eyes, and four smaller eyes on 

top of their head, giving them 

the best vision of all spiders. 

The two inner front eyes are 

the largest and assist with their 

predatory lifestyle. As their 

common name suggests, they 

can jump distances of more 

than 4cm to catch their prey. 

One species commonly seen 

around the house or backyard 

is the golden-brown jumping 

spider trite auricoma. 

Favourite haunts of this 

7-8mm native species are 

among dead leaves of flax or 

cabbage tree leaves. 

Males have larger front legs 

that they use for mating displays 

or against rival males when they

Ellesmere College 

Senior A Netball 

The Ellesmere College Senior A 

Netball team is currently fundraising 

to allow us to travel to and compete 

in the 2018 South Island Secondary 

Schools Tournament in Dunedin, this 

September. 

Our team currently play in the 

premier school netball competition 

in Christchurch where on a 

Wednesday the team competes in 

the Super Net Reserve grade. We 

ended the first round in top position 

and played off against Rangi Ruru 

for a position in SuperNet grade, 

narrowly missing out by just a few 

goals. We finished the season in this 

competition third which the team is 

very proud of. The team also play 

together in the Saturday competition 

at Selwyn Netball Centre under the 

name of Southbridge B in the Premier 

2 grade. 

The team have had many successes 

this season including winning the first 

round of this competition and are 

looking forward to the upcoming 

semis and finals. Playing together on 

a Wednesday and a Saturday has 

been an invaluable experience for 

us to have preceding to the time 

of the tournament and allows us to 

build combinations and develop as 

a team. 

Earlier this year the team put on 

a Ball Gown Parade Fundraiser in 

relation to the school formal which 

was a very enjoyable night and 

was a major financial contribution 

towards this tournament. 

The team would like to take this 

opportunity to express our gratitude 

to all of our supporters and sponsors 

who are allowing us to compete and 

for their support so far in the season.

SPORTS 

Proud supporters of 

Rugby & Netball in Selwyn 

• By Jacob Page 

SELWYN WILL have a new 

premier grade netball champion 

for the first time in five years. 

Broadfield A dumped 

defending champions Lincoln 

A out of the competition with 

a 65-46 win in their semi-final 

at the Lincoln Event Centre on 

Saturday. 

Broadfield A will meet 

Greenpark A in the final on 

Saturday after they eased past 

clubmates Greenpark B 74-45. 

Broadfield A beat Lincoln A by 

two goals in their round-robin 

clash a fortnight ago and were 

too good again in the suddendeath 

atmosphere. 

Broadfield A coach Yvonne 

Crichton-Hill said she was 

impressed by the team’s selfbelief 

and their ruthless attitude 

against a Lincoln A team 

that dominated most of the 

competition. 

“I was really impressed 

with everyone,” she said. “I 

was nervous before the game, 

probably more nervous than the 

players. 

“We led for the entire game 

and I was just so pleased with 

how we looked after the ball for 

all four quarters,” she said. 

“Often when we get turnovers 

we’d get excited and give it 

straight back, but on Saturday we 

really looked after the ball.” 

Crichton-Hill said Maia Hill’s 

93 per cent shooting helped her 

team build on their lead during 

each quarter, 

BALANCE: Greenpark A’s Kate Alfeld (left) attempts to save the 

ball. (Above) – Greenpark B’s Micaela Diedrichs looks

AGILITY: Amy McClintock 

looks to pass. 

“We ended up winning a lot 

of turnovers through the midcourt, 

which meant (Lincoln 

A’s) talented shooters weren’t 

able to make it hard for us as 

much as they would have liked,” 

Crichton-Hill said.

Vanessa Robinson described 

their season as a rebuilding year, 

with injuries and absence taking 

their toll. 

“We did the best we could 

given the circumstances all year,” 

she said. “We’ve gone through 

a rebuilding year and I would 

expect that will continue next 

year.” 

Greenpark A had little trouble 

brushing aside their clubmates, 

in spite of having closer contests 

with them throughout the 

season. Greenpark B qualified in 

second-place but Greenpark A 

led the semi-final from start to 

finish. 

Broadfield A beat Greenpark A 

56-48 the last time they met this 

season. 

Greenpark A coach Karen 

Ponsonby said the team were 

underdogs going into the 

final. “To be honest, Broadfield 

should win. We haven’t had a 

training in four years,” she said. 

“We do have a lot of 

experienced heads and we’ve 

scored a lot of goals this year, so 

I’m sure we’ll give them a good 

challenge.”

The Canterbury Country Colts are an even mix of Ellesmere and North Canterbury players. 

The team has benefited from the Ged Robinson growth mindset seminar and are relishing the 

Learning Pit, they play different roles in the team and this team shows confidence in their own ability 

and potential, and the ability and potential of others. Their confidence is not about being the loudest 

or proudest, it’s about the team showing each other courage, being willing to fail, learning and 

growing from every mistake. Only then we can reach our goal of being a United Team.

Country ready to end Metro’s dominance 


CANTERBURY Country will 

go into their Craw Shield match 

against Canterbury Metro on 

Sunday at Kaiapoi on a high 

after beating Southland Country 

36-13. 

After narrowly losing their 

opening game to Marlborough 

in Blenheim a fortnight ago, 

Canterbury Country dominated 

at set-piece time to ease past 

Southland Country in Darfield 

on Saturday. 

Canterbury Country coach 

Nigel Smith said while he was 

happy with their scrum and 

lineout dominance, he admitted 

their defensive pattern and skill 

execution on attack would need 

to be better against Metro. 

Canterbury Country have not 

beaten Metro in 10 years, 

“We dominated early in the 

scrums and won seven lineouts 

on their ball so that laid a good 

platform. Not everyone has 

bought into the defensive pattern 

just yet, but it was better than 

week one,” he said. 

“We identified the space well 

on attack and ran hard at the 

line, but our skill execution let us 

down. We probably left 20 points 

out there,” 

Smith praised Springston 

centre Shaun Harrington. 

“He ran the ball hard all 

day and was defensively very

committed. We call his position 

‘the edge’ and he made sure 

there were no defensive holes 

there,” Smith said. 

“This weekend is our big game 

and we’ll have to execute as best 

we can.” 

Smith said, with the match 

acting as a Canterbury B trial, 

he hoped several players will put 

in big performances to try and 

impress the selectors. 

“I’ve been really impressed 

with a lot of our young talent 

and hopefully that shows 

through on Saturday.” 

Smith said players like 

Glenmark-Cheviot blindside 

flanker Ben Anderson and 

Waihora prop Jim Cummings 

continued to impress. 

“I’m not sure how Ben does it. 

He’ll steal your lineout ball and 

he’s always near the ball around 

the field – he’s got a big work 

rate,” Smith said. 

“Jim is a guy we picked 

on a whim three years ago 

and he’s got better every single 

game for us. He solidifies our 

scrum.” 

•Sunday’s match at Kaiapoi 

will kick off at 3pm.

Rolleston triathlete steps up to world stage 


ROLLESTON’S REECE Rush 

is anything but your average 

15-year-old. 

The Lincoln High School year 

11 student will be the youngest 

competitor in the under-19 

category of the World Triathlon 

grand-final on the Gold Coast 

next month. 

By his own admission, Reece 

GO-GETTER: Reece Rush will 

test himself against the best 

at the World Triathlon grandfinal 

on the Gold Coast next 

month. PHOTO: ROB RUSH 

doesn’t have much time for 

relaxing. 

When he’s not in class, he’s 

trying to fit in a bike ride or a 

morning swim. 

It’s all part of his three-hour-aday, 

six-day-a-week schedule. 

Reece fell in love with multisport 

while watching his dad, 

Rob, race in the Coast to Coast. 

“I remember three or four 

years ago being there at the event 

and just trying to spot dad at 

every part of the race I could,” 

he said. 

“I loved the atmosphere of the 

race and watching my dad and 

others push themselves,” 

Reece and his father used to 

train together, but Rob admits 

his son is too quick for him now. 

Reece qualified for the Gold 

Coast event, which runs from 

September 12-16, by finishing 

15th overall in the Pegasus 

classic triathlon in November. 

Reece said with age-group 

triathlon courses shorter than 

the open grade courses, he is 

focused on getting fit enough to 

run at a consistent tempo. 

“Your pacing has to be right as 

you can’t blow up on one leg of 

the race, you just have to go as 

hard and as fast as you can.” 

Reece said he was excited 

to test himself on the same 

course that was used for the 

Commonwealth Games in April. 

“It’s a flat course which 

probably suits my style.” 

Reece will swim for 750m, 

cycle for 20km and finish with a 

5km run. 

He will turn 16 just three days 

before the race and being the 

youngest competitor meant he 

wasn’t sure how he would go. 

“I don’t have any expectations 

on where I’d like to finish,” he 

said. 

“Being my first big 

international race, I just want 

to see where I’m at and that will 

help me work out my training 

going forward.” 

Reece said he would like to 

represent New Zealand at the 

Commonwealth Games and the 

Olympics in the coming years.

Facelift keeps Mazda CX-5 fresh 

• By Ross Kiddie 

MAZDA NEW Zealand is well 

pleased with the performance of 

its sport utility vehicle range. 

So much so, that a new model 

has just recently joined the lineup 

- the CX-8. In total Mazda has 

four sport utility vehicles in varying 

sizes, but the most popular 

by far and consistently topping 

the sales charts in medium SUV 

market is the CX-5. 

The CX-5 has been around 

since 2012, and early last year 

it underwent a huge life cycle 

change, reinforcing its desire to 

buyers and not relinquishing its 

command in the market. 

That’s no surprise to me, if you 

take any vehicle out of the Mazda 

stable today you’ll find quality, 

and one which is pleasing in 

almost every respect. 

Mazda hasn’t rested on its 

laurels with CX-5, just a short 

time after the latest generation 

model was released, the SUV has 

had a bit of a makeover, there’s 

a realignment of specification, 

and an increase in specification 

for safety. There’s also an engine 

upgrade across all driveline variations 

– 2-litre petrol, 2.5-litre petrol 

and 2.2-litre diesel. Economy 

has been improved, emissions 

lowered further and refinement 

further increased. 

The latter is important, for the 

MAZDA CX-5: Major makeover for 2019. 

CX-5 has become a vehicle which 

thrills with its sophistication, it is 

smooth, quiet and amazingly civilised 

for what would be deemed 

a mainstream car. 

Mazda offers the CX-5 in six 

variants ranging from $39,995 for 

the entry-level 2-litre, and ending 

at $57,995 for the range-topping 

Limited diesel. Incidentally, 

Mazda’s prices include on-road 

costs and a three-year/100,000km 

free servicing programme. 

The evaluation car was the 

range-topper, albeit with the 2.5- 

litre petrol engine. Column space 

doesn’t allow comprehensive 

detailing of the engine’s combustion 

changes, but I can report 

the new unit is a work of art, it is 

strong, responsive, and delivers 

without vibration nor harshness. 

With outputs of 140kW and 

252Nm, the 2488cc four-potter 

also has power and torque which 

will satisfy under most conditions. 

The CX-5 is quick for an 

SUV, it will scamper to 100km/h 

from a standstill in around 

9sec and will make an overtaking 

manoeuvre in 5sec. Drive 

is channelled to all four wheels 

through a conventional six-speed 

automatic transmission. 

The latter has also had some 

technical changes so that it 

works more in harmony with the 

engine, the result is a fluid and 

balanced change of ratios, bearing 

in mind, too, that the driver 

can enhance engine urgency 

through a console-mounted sport 

mode. 

Personally, I used the standard 

• Price – Mazda CX-5 Ltd, 

$55,745 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4550mm; width, 1840mm; 

height, 1675mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

2488cc, 

140kW, 252Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km 

normal mode for most of my 

evaluation at city speeds, it works 

intuitively and doesn’t load the 

engine greatly, further enhancing 

that economy equation. 

Of course, if you like the speed 

of sport mode the CX-5 takes on 

a lively personality that is useful 

on the long highway trek, overtaking 

for example, or if the driver 

feels like a bit a push through 

the tight and twisties. 

I had a Trade Me item to 

deliver to an address in Rangiora, 

so on return to my home in 

the city I used the roads from 

Loburn to Oxford, crossing the 

Waimakariri Gorge bridge to 

the Old West Coast Rd. While 

the vast majority of this route is 

straight, there are some tricky 

corners and it was nice to feel the 

CX-5’s clingy road manners. 

At almost 1.7m tall the CX-5 

could be excused for being a 

little unbalanced in a corner, but 

that’s not the case, with sensible 

spring and damper rates and a 

sophisticated fully independent 

suspension set-up there is 

controlled body movement and 

decisive suspension absorption. 

To be fair, the CX-5, and all 

others of its ilk, are not serious 

off-road vehicles. The CX-5 is a 

handy wagon that will take you 

cross-country in style, and it is 

useful when the seal runs out. 

However, the CX-5’s fourwheel-drive 

system is more for 

the benefit in low-grip situations, 

and on my journey I had 

to make a detour through a long 

gravel section, the test car felt 

well attached to the road and 

comfortable when pushed on the 

greasy surface. That being the 

case, I have no hesitation in saying 

that it is a car which will suit 

the ski-field access road, and I’m 

sure many owners use it for that 

purpose. 

On that subject, the CX-5’s 

popularity doesn’t stop with just 

new car buyers, the range also 

commands good coin in the preowned 

market, which is testament 

to the quality of product 

and the way buyers view Mazda 

vehicles in total.

MY PRIDE AND JOY 

SELWYN TIMES 

For the love of Betty 

Thomas Costello has owned more than one Plymouth Duster; the 

first when living in Hawaii when he met his wife Leanne in 1991. 

His interest in the car was rekindled five years ago 

when Thomas purchased a 1974 Plymouth Duster. 

“I watched it on TradeMe for around eighteen 

months until a ‘buy now’ price tempted me,” explains 

Thomas. 

Thomas and Leanne love their Plymouth, reminding 

them of when they first met. 

The Plymouth is powered by a 410 Small Block Indy 

headed stroker motor with 727 automatic transmission 

and 3000 stall running through an 8¾ rear end 

differential, 3.23 ratio and trutrac centre and is fitted 

with 275/60/15 tyres. 

“It’s loud and aggressive,” says Thomas, who found 

the car’s restoration to be a great family project with his 

sons helping recondition and enhance the motor and 

rebuild the suspension 

The Plymouth has an imitation snakeskin vinyl 

rooftop and its original paintwork (complete with 

dents, dings and scratches), and is nicknamed ‘Brown 

Betty’ due to its colour, a name that has caught on with 

friends who call her ‘Betty’. 

It has a tidy interior while the dashboard has been 

refurbished and the automatic transmission mounted 

on the floor, as opposed to the original column gear 

change. 

“I’ve had a couple of manual floor mounted 

Plymouths, which are probably worth more, however, 

the Duster has sentimental value and is a fun car,” 

explains Thomas who says the family love cruising in 

it. 

“My eldest son is tall so prefers driving the Plymouth 

rather than accessing the back seat where there’s only 

room for two. The front bench has seatbelts for three.” 

The whole rear seat back can pack down flat 

making room for skis or surfboards. This feature was 

introduced in 1973, with only around 300 made with 

this option in 1974. 

Most weekends, the family head out in ‘Betty’. 

“There’s no point owning a special car if you don’t 

drive and enjoy it,” suggests Thomas, who thinks his 

Plymouth Duster may currently be the only one in 

Canterbury as it is usually one of a kind at car events, 

although at Caroline Bay it had the company of a 

Plymouth Duster from Dunedin. 

“People love its uniqueness and appreciate the work 

that’s gone into the car.” 

Thomas and the boys have taken the car around the 

circuit as well as down the ¼ mile at Ruapuna. They 

have also made many like-minded friends who helped 

and encouraged Thomas during its restoration. 

This kind of support is the reason Thomas and others 

from the Selwyn Petrolheads are assisting with another 

Selwyn Motor Fest, where the 1974 Plymouth Duster 

will also be on show. 

With the support of the Selwyn District Council, 

this event will be held on Sunday, 25th November, 

from 10am until 3pm (on the same site as last year - 

opposite Rolleston College). If wishing to be involved

Local business expansion 

reflects district’s growth 

The population and business growth 

in the Selwyn district have seen many 

local businesses expanding and Rolleston 

based Holland Collision Centre is one 

such business with the company currently 

finalising Council consent for the 

construction of a new building just across 

the road from their existing site. 

The business will still be working out 

of its current site with the new building 

devoted to repairs that are more structural 

in nature. The new panel shop will be 

fitted out with a new 3D chassis measuring 

system and the latest technology in the 

field, allowing Holland Collision Centre to 

keep up with demand for heavy structural 

repairs, such as when a vehicle is in a 

serious crash or more complex repairs need 

to be undertaken. 

Business will not be interrupted during 

the process of construction with the new 

building is expected to be up and running 

by the end of the year. 

As specialists in all facets of panel repairs 

from the removal dents and dings to larger 

structural repairs and paint refinishing 

on vehicles of all sizes, Hollands Collision 

Centre is well positioned to serve the 

people of Rolleston as well as other parts of 

the Selwyn district. Whether it is a smaller 

car or larger vehicle such as a motorhome, 

caravan, horse float or any kind of work or 

refinishing needed for a truck, they have 

the expertise and equipment to do the job. 

As a local employer, many young people 

have had the opportunity to enter the 

industry with apprenticeships at Holland 

Collision Centre. Many have also had 

promotional opportunities, taking on 

higher level positions within the company. 

One such person is Jake Ackers, who 

recently won an IAG business scholarship 

after being one of 40 candidates. 

Jake has now moved from his role as 

panel shop foreman to become the second 

on-site assessor. With two on-site assessors 

and as approved repairers for all major 

insurance companies, Holland Collision 

Centre is now in an even better position 

to look after your panel needs. They can

major earthquakes. People weren’t the only casualties of these 

disasters; hundreds of animals were affected too. Some of these 

frightened animals suffered homelessness, injury, and abandonment.

Do you have a plan in place for your 

pet in the event of a disaster? 

New Zealanders have strong bonds with 

their pets. The more pets you have, the 

less likely you are to evacuate if you have 

insufficient resources.* 

When a disaster happens – earthquake, 

flood, fire, hurricane, there is much to 

think about. Firstly the safety of you and 

your family, however your pets are family 

too, so if you own one or more pets, then it 

is worthwhile creating a plan of action that 

includes them also. 

If you have to leave, take your pet 

with you.

property for several days, and your pet may 

not survive without you. Quickly collect 

your pet/s, cover them with a towel or 

blanket or put them in a pet carrier or on a 

lead. Leave their toys and bedding behind if 

urgency and safety are paramount. 

If you cannot leave, keep your pets close 

to you. Do not let them crawl under beds, 

as they may be crushed (earthquake). For 

your safety, as your pet may be terrified, 

cover and wrap them with a towel or 

blanket. After the crisis has passed, comfort 

your pet with words of encouragement and 

lots of cuddles. 

Other things you can do, in case your 

terrified pet escapes, is to make sure it is 

tagged and microchipped with your up-todate 

contact details.

Develop a taste for tangy tamarillo 

• By Diana Noonan 

TAMARILLO are a 

favourite cool-season fruit, 

maturing from March or 

April, and well into winter. 

Depending on variety and 

pruning regimes, they will 

even continue to produce 

into early December. 

Three main varieties of 

tamarillo are now available. 

The reds, with their deep 

purple-red skin and darkred 

colouring around black 

seeds, are especially sought 

after for decorating dessert 

dishes. 

Amber varieties, with 

a golden skin tinged with 

a red blush, are said to be 

the sweetest tamarillos, 

although the fruit tends 

to be smaller than those 

of other varieties. Gold 

tamarillos are large and 

fleshy and are a little sweeter

Safety 

in the 

Garden 

As we approach the prime time for gardening, it is a 

timely reminder for everyone about the safe practices for 

gardening. 

Gardening is very popular here in Canterbury and as the 

weather improves we will find ourselves out and about 

in the garden more over the coming months. With this in 

mind, we want to ensure everyone is aware of the safe 

practices of gardening, most importantly how to protect 

yourself from contracting Legionnaires. 

Legionellosis (Legionnaire’s disease) is a form of 

pneumonia, and is caused by a bacterium called 

Legionella found in moist conditions in the environment. 

You can catch the disease by inhaling airborne droplets 

or particles that contain the bacteria. The illness can 

present itself in mild or severe cases, and can sometimes 

be fatal. It is more common in elderly people, particularly 

if they smoke, have poor immunity, or are already ill. It 

will usually develop in 2-10 days after exposure to the 

bacteria and symptoms include fever, chills, headaches 

and muscle pain. It will then develop into chest infectionlike 

symptoms. If you do present with these symptoms 

after gardening, inform your Doctor you have been doing 

so, so they can test for Legionnaires. 

Please head to our website www.igro.co.nz for more 

information about Legionnaires, or give us a call on 03 

3479415. 

than the reds. 

The tamarillo is a 

subtropical plant that is 

frost-tender to -2 deg C. 

Grown under cover, they 

become susceptible to 

sclerotinia rot. 

This limits the areas 

where the trees can be 

planted although gardeners 

in marginal areas can hedge 

their bets by planting close 

to a heat-retaining wall and 

We are here 

new 

product 

Here are some tips to reduce 

your chances of contracting 

this disease: 

• Read the warning labels 

on bags of compost and 

potting mixes 

• Wear gloves when 

handling soils, mulches, 

composts and potting 

mixes 

• Wear a dust mask if you 

are using these mixes 

indoors, or if it is windy 

• Dampen mixes before 

using them 

• Always open bags away 

from your face and in 

an open area (not in a 

greenhouse) 

• Wash your hands 

thoroughly before eating, 

drinking or smoking or 

touching your face 

under the eaves of a house 

with a sunny north-facing 

aspect. 

Tamarillo seriously 

resent wet feet so excellent 

drainage is essential. 

However, their shallow 

roots also render the trees 

susceptible to drought so 

moisture must be provided 

during summer. 

The key to knowing when 

to pick tamarillo is to be 

familiar with the variety 

you are growing and to pick 

when the entire fruit is the 

colour described on the 

growing label. 

If the stalk has begun to 

turn yellow, and is slightly 

loose where it meets the 

fruit, this is another sign of 

full ripeness. 

Picked at this stage, the 

fruit will keep for up to 

two weeks in a fridge or for 

a week in a bowl at room 

temperature. If you pick 

fruit when there is still a 

ring of green around the 

top (the stalk end), the fruit 

won’t ripen to sweetness 

and will remain acidic. 

Store tamarillo with other 

fruit, such as apples, to 

hasten ripening. 

•www.gardener.kiwi 

FLAVOUR: A well-tended tamarillo tree will produce 

up to 20kg of fruit.

Luxury, space and garaging! 

From the moment you step through the front door, the 

clever use of light and placement of amenities ushers you 

forth into a myriad of possibility. 

Every aspect of this home has been methodically 

conceptualized. Set apart by quality design and premium 

materials, the expansive views of the garden practically 

transport the viewer to the countryside, despite the 

convenience of its well-heeled address in one of Rolleston 

premier neighbourhoods. 

Both serene and inviting, this property’s meticulous 

configuration and flow of space will appeal to many. Art 

and design enthusiasts will appreciate the tall ceilings and 

appointed interior wall space from which to hang their 

collection. Any would-be chef would be pleased with the 

induction cooktop, double wall ovens, butlers pantry and 

oversized central island. The well-equipped and highly 

organized will delight in this property’s vast amount of 

storage and all who inspect in person will recognize the high 

quality of furnishings and the incorporation of thoughtful 

technology, such as internal vacuuming, Bose entertainment 

system and auto louvre roof over the outdoor entertainment 

area. Whilst the interior exudes warmth and luxury, the 

garden was clearly designed with entertaining in mind. 

Address: 2 Riverstone Drive, Rolleston 

The many double-glazed windows overlook the impeccably 

landscaped garden oasis, treed and gated for privacy, 

With four car garaging and parking for boats and caravans 

this home surely will not last.

18 Boulez Mews, Rolleston 

After 9 years in this simply remarkable home my vendors 

and their busy family have out grown this generous 

property and are making it available to the market. 

Situated in one of Rolleston’s premier neighbourhoods, 

this home needs to be explored to be fully appreciated. 

Whether it’s the expansive north facing gardens, or the 

exceptional outdoor entertainment area, the oversized 

open plan living or the chefs kitchen with butlers pantry, 

you most certainly will be the envy of all your friends at 18 

4 2 2 1 3 

Boulez Mews. 

To further enhance this family friendly homes 

desirability is triple car garaging, as well off street 

parking for caravans, boats, maybe even a bus! I’m 

pretty sure the lot will fit. 

If you’ve been battling with the lack of space look no 

further. 

One thing is absolutely certain, viewing is an 

absolute must!

Building on a budget 

Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with 

a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford. 

For Lease

41 Shelley Street, 

Rolleston 

Get smart with your money to achieve 

your dream home without compromising 

on what’s really important. 

Consider buying a large plot of land with 

friends or family which you can split into 

smaller lots. Many great 

locations tend to cover 

more ground, so get the 

stunning harbour view 

you dream of by sharing 

the cost with someone you 

don’t mind having as a 

neighbour. 

Opting for lowmaintenance 

building 

materials, like vinyl siding 

and metal roofing saves in 

the long run. Although 

they may be more 

expensive to install you 

will save money on future 

repairs, replacement or 

repainting. 

Using salvaged and recycled 

materials and componentry 

from the abundance of 

demolition sites around the 

city not only adds valuable 

character to new builds, but 

can save money, too. 

For the safety and security 

of your home, don’t skimp on structural 

elements, doors and windows. Buy the 

very best you can afford and, together 

with your architect or builder, determine 

other areas you could save on to allow for 

a few luxuries. 

It’s important not to waste valuable cash 

on overbuilding. Look carefully at the 

existing properties in the area and be

will you have recourse 

Deciding exactly 

what you want 

and then sticking with 

it will ensure you stay 

on budget, on time, 

and all with 

minimal stress. 

aware that building a home that is bigger 

and better than those of your neighbours 

will not necessarily equate to a fair price 

if and when it’s time to sell. instead, the 

value of your build will be determined 

by the lower-priced homes 

around it. 

The experience of a wellqualified 

contractor is an 

invaluable asset in any 

building project. Not only 

should anything go wrong, 

but their experience in 

the industry means they 

will have established 

relationships with suppliers 

and subcontractors, whom 

they trust to deliver the best 

workmanship possible. 

Keep a close eye on 

construction allowances as 

your home is being built 

to ensure you are getting 

what you asked for and 

what you paid for. if you 

had initially agreed on 

using a specific brand, for 

example, then don’t settle 

for less, unless you discuss 

a cost adjustment with your 

builder or contractor. 

Many a building project has snowballed 

out of control in the financial department 

due to changes being made to the design 

and materials once building is already 

underway. Deciding exactly what you 

want and then sticking with it will ensure 

you stay on budget, within your expected 

time frame, and all with minimal stress.

Your guide to all things Real Estate 

in the Selwyn District 

Stunning home design 

You will be swept away by the quality, 

style and presentation of Faye Homes’ 

new Faringdon show home. Built with 

family living in mind, all 283sqm (240sqm 

interior/43sqm portico) is a must see. 

“Everyone loves this house. It has great 

orientation for the sun so is extremely 

warm and energy efficient,” says Marshall 

Wang from Faye Homes. 

There is excellent flow making this home 

ideal for raising a family, especially with 

the natural division between living and 

bedroom quarters, so there is peace for 

those sleeping. 

With open plan living, there is room to 

move, play and interact yet double sliders 

mean the lounge can also be closed off for 

a warm, quiet, private place where a gas 

fire adds to the ambience. The dining and 

living areas balance the grand kitchen, 

which looks out across its generous island 

to a large hardwood deck. Tucked in 

behind is a scullery making the perfect 

little kitchenette complete with large 

appliance cupboard and sink, so the mess 

stays out of sight. 

With perfect indoor/outdoor flow 

this home is ideal for family living and 

entertaining; right down to the outdoor 

gas fire set within the portico. 

The master bedroom is a haven. Sliders 

lead out to a sheltered courtyard, also 

accessed from the living area. The ensuite 

has a double vanity, fully tiled walk-in 

shower and separate toilet; all tucked in 

behind a large walk-in robe which boasts 

lots of shelving and hanging space. 

Each double bedroom has a large 

wardrobe and study nook. These are 

served by the main bathroom, which is 

three rooms in one; a separate toilet, a 

showering room with freestanding bath 

and walk-in tiled shower, and vanity area. 

The result is: three people can use the 

facilities at one time. 

The show home has true double garaging 

and fantastic storage with two large double 

cupboards in the hall, as well as another 

in the spacious laundry, all with striking 

designer series panel doors. The laundry 

itself is pure class, with built-in cabinetry 

and engineered stone bench top, as is in 

the kitchen and scullery. 

Throughout, the Hampton style comes 

to the fore with detailed architraves, 

cabinetry and internal doors adding a 

feeling of opulence. 

A masterful blend of polystyrene, schist 

and cedar form the exterior cladding. The 

result is a home, which has an incredible 

presence on its 784sqm section. 

Faye Homes has had tremendous 

response from people viewing their 

latest show home; not surprising given 

its high-quality fit-out and attention to 

detail. There are many extra features like 

the continuation of the schist stone wall 

into the entryway, subtly dividing the front 

door from the living area. Another is the 

coat/footwear room, which ensures a tidy

Making the most of 

show home viewing 

Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for 

features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful 

for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design. 

Before heading out for a day’s 

viewing, conduct an internet search. 

identify the locations of show home 

villages and the types and sizes of the 

various building company’s homes on 

display, noting down the square metre 

size of each home. 

if wanting a high end, architectural 

design, focus on the larger homes that 

have desirable design features. if at the 

entry or middle level of the market, 

earmark homes that fit this taking in 

other show homes for extra ideas. 

allow sufficient time when visiting each 

show home, asking for a floor plan that 

has room sizes before walking through. 

Check also the floor to ceiling height 

of the rooms and consider how this feels 

and whether you prefer a cosier feel with 

the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or 

more spaciousness created with a higher 

stud or exposed ceiling beams. 

if doors and windows are taller than 

normal, weigh their effect in creating 

a more luxurious and spacious feel, 

against potential inconvenience for small 

children, cleaning and maintenance. 

on entering each room, take account of 

how much furniture is in each room and 

whether there is sufficient space for the 

furniture you will have in the room and 

the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look 

too, at storage capacity throughout the 

home and whether this is adequate. 

in the living areas, consider whether a 

lounge separated from the family living 

room or a true open plan kitchen, dining, 

living/lounge area is preferable, and 

compare internal kitchens with those that 

have natural light. 

Look too at the layout of 

the kitchen: whether to have 

an island sink or breakfast 

bar where a newspaper can 

be read, and children can 

sit and draw or complete 

homework; the positioning 

of appliances; and how 

important having a pantry is. 

for the little rooms, equate 

space and features desired 

with that needed, especially 

if the budget needs to be 

sharp. it might be nice to 

have a large walk-in shower 

with double shower heads 

but is this just fanciful and 

will the extra cleaning annoy you long 

term. a laundry in the garage is also more 

economical though a separate laundry 

may be handier. 

Bring the garage size into the equation 

also. as these vary considerably, assess 

the actual measurements of each garage 

viewed comparing this with the space 

needed for your motor vehicles and other 

items to be stored there. if a good number 

of toys will be housed there, it may be 

sensible to increase the size of this area of 

the home. 

By imagining what you need, want and 

will have in your new home, you will be in 

a better position to confidently choose a 

design that works for you.
