Big rock concert
comes to district
10,000 could be at
family-friendly event
• By Tom Doudney
NEW ZEALAND rock royalty
Mi-Sex and Dragon are set to
headline a concert in Lincoln in
March which could pull in up to
10,000 people.
The line up for the Live in
Lincoln Selwyn Sounds concert
at Lincoln Domain will also
feature the Jordan Luck Band,
Sharon O’Neill, Annie Crummer,
Margaret Urlich, Debbie
Harwood and former Opshop
frontman Jason Kerrison, as well
as other local bands, including
from Lincoln High School. And
it’s hoped the event will not be
just a one off.
Local events company 3 Coins
Gentlemen, which is staging
it with sponsorship from the
Flemington subdivision, aims to
hold the concert in Lincoln on
an annual basis.
Event organiser David Parlane
said he was pleased to have assembled
such an outstanding
line up for the first event.
“We all remember what we
were doing when these artists
first came into the music scene in
New Zealand, and to have them
perform all these years later with
new material as well as old is an
honour for the town,” he said.
“We were just getting sick and
tired of all of the big things that
were happening in [Christchurch]
and we’re only 22km away
with some great facilities so
we just thought ‘why not?’” Mr
Parlane said.
Mi-Sex, best known for their
1979 single Computer Games,
recently reformed and are about
to release their new album Not
From Here.

A ROADING upgrade which
has been labelled a “game
changer” by Selwyn’s deputy
mayor is back on track after
long-running land negotiations
were completed.
Work on the roads around
the intersections of State Highway
1, Barters Rd, Pound Rd
and Waterloo Rd in Templeton
was initially planned to start
in October last year. However,
this was delayed after negotiations
between the New Zealand
Transport Agency and the
owners of land it needed to buy
took longer than expected.

September 5 for publication the
following week.
From September 16 voting
documents will be sent out
in the mail to elect district
councillors, the mayor,
community board members
and one regional councillor.
Colin Knaggs said work was
now expected to start either
late next month or in October
and be completed by before
Christmas 2017.
“We are working
through a tendering
process and will announce
the contractor
in coming weeks,” Mr
Knaggs said.
Key features of the
upgrade will include a
realignment of Pound
Rd and Waterloo
Rd and extending Pound Rd
through to State Highway 1
where a traffic light controlled
intersection will be installed.

Road change back on track
Deputy mayor Sarah Walters
(below), who chairs the district
council’s road safety committee,
said the upgrade would
be “a game changer”
in terms of getting
traffic off Jones Rd and
Maddisons Rd which
authorities consider
less suitable for heavy
traffic volumes than
State Highway 1.
“I see this as a really
important safety improvement
for traffic
travelling south,” Mrs Walters
said.
“At the moment there is no
safe place to turn right onto
State Highway 1 from the north
other than Hornby/Halswell
Junction Rd until you get to
Hoskyns Rd at Rolleston,
which is a busy intersection.”
Mrs Walters said it was
hoped the new intersection at
Pound Rd and State Highway
1 would reduce the amount of
traffic movements on Jones Rd
and Maddisons Rd, or at least
reduce the growth in traffic
movements.
“State Highway 1 is the main
traffic route and is designed to
carry much higher volumes of
traffic better and more safely
than either Jones or Maddisons
Rds,” Mrs Walters said.

Proposals to
restore church
• By Tom Doudney
THE HORORATA Community
Trust has submitted two
proposals on how it could help
with the restoration of St John’s
Anglican Church.
Hororata Community Trust
chairman Richard Lang said the
trust had put detailed written
proposals to the Church Property
Trustees.
The historic church was
damaged in the September 2010
earthquake.
The community trust saw its
role as fundraising and helping
to set the specifications of the
repair, in consultation with the
community.
“Rebuilding the church has
always been at the top of our
agenda,” Mr Lang said.
“There is wide community
support to see this building reinstated
to its former glory. To
this end, we have been working
with the Anglican Church since
the earthquakes and have been
in direct discussions with the
Church Property Trustees since
late 2014.”
The trust was also working
with the Hororata Citizens
committee and Ashley Hide
from Athfield Architects on a
project plan for the Hororata
Hall.
Residents face costly battle
• By Tom Doudney
LEADLEYS RD residents are
facing a costly bill to oppose the
presence of a company which
has been operating a contractor’s
yard without resource consent
for several years.
Paul’s Excavation Services
acquired the 4ha property at 304
Leadleys Rd south of Prebbleton
in 2012. It has been using it to
store about 10 trucks as well as
several diggers, other machinery
and piled soil.
Four nearby property owners
are concerned about noise, dust
and traffic movements.
One of those residents, Phil
Colegate, said he first approached
the district council in May 2014
about whether the business
should have to obtain resource
consent.
However, it had been “dragging
its heels” in addressing
the matter until this month
when it notified residents that
a commissioners’ hearing on
the company’s resource consent
application would take place on
September 13.
The district council also
advised that if residents wanted
to oppose the application, they
should hire planning, health and
safety, environmental and legal
H90 x W130mm
experts which it estimated would
cost them about $40,000.
“I thought I was being a responsible
ratepayer in reporting
this business and two-and-a-half
years down the road. I am disappointed
to find myself in the
position of facing the choice of
appointing professional experts
to defend my rural lifestyle, a
duty I entrusted to Selwyn District
Council,” Mr Colegate said.
Paul’s Excavation Services
owner Steve Paul said the business’s
use of the site was “very
low key” and he hadn’t initially
been aware that resource consent
was needed.
He said he was disappointed
that residents had gone to the
district council without talking
to him first.
“We are approachable people,
if anybody wanted to come down
and say to us: ‘You are making
too much noise’ first tell us what
the noise is and then we could,
with no problem at all, try and
contain the noise. But we don’t
really make noise, all we do is
park up there, start up in the
morning and go.”
Mr Paul said he had no plans
to expand operations on the site.

The Selwyn Times asked the
district council why it had allowed
the company to operate
for so long without resource
consent. In response, acting chief
executive Stephen Hill said a
thorough investigation had to
be undertaken and evidence of
a District Plan breach proven
before enforcement action could
be taken.
“This can be a lengthy process,”
Mr Hill said.
He also said the company had
been slow in providing information
requested by the district
council.

Gang targeted burglar’s home
• By Tom Doudney
SUSPECTED GANG members
raided serial burglar Luke Reich’s
home looking for stolen firearms
while he was on remand in jail.
But police had got there first,
finding about 15 shotguns and
rifles – some hidden in an
electric piano – in the Burnham
house.
Constable Chris Caldwell said
it was a relief that the weapons
had ended up in police hands,
rather than the alternative.
“We all know that firearms get
stolen occasionally and we hope
they don’t end up in the hands of
gangs and the like, but we know
some of them probably do,” he
said.
“To be able to retrieve those
ones before possible gang members
got hold of them is good for
the safety of everyone, including
police.”
Yesterday, Reich, 21, was sentenced
to two years, nine months
imprisonment and ordered to
pay $10,268 in reparations for
26 burglaries, 10 thefts and six
charges of unlawfully interfering
with cars.
He stole numerous firearms
during his crime spree which
took place, mostly in Selwyn, between
November and February.
Police believe gang members

court last week for sentencing. He plans to sell his motor-cycle

may have got their information
about the stolen firearms, which
they believed were still in the
Burnham house, from prison
intelligence while Reich was in
custody.
Guns can sell for hundreds of
dollars on Christchurch’s black
market and have become an
item of choice for burglars who
are targeting homes where they
know there are firearms.
Police say the illicit drug trade
is fuelling the need for criminals
to arm themselves and gangs are
key players. They are also being
used in armed robberies.
There has been a spate of
armed hold-ups in recent weeks
in Christchurch at bakeries, bars
and fast food outlets.
At last week’s sentencing in the
district court, it was revealed that
Reich deliberately avoided taking
children’s Christmas presents
during his pre-Christmas burglaries.
Judge David Saunders said he
accepted that Reich was remorseful
for what he had done and that
he appeared to have a conscience.
He also noted that Reich’s
employment issues and drug and
alcohol problems had been factors
in his offending.
In not setting a longer prison
sentence he had taken into account
Reich’s lack of previous
offending, his remorse and his
potential to make reparations to
his victims.
Defence counsel Phillip Allan
said Reich would sell his motorcycle
to put towards reparations
and, upon release, would live
with his parents while working to
pay off the rest of the money.
“He wants to put things right,”
Mr Allan said.
Judge Saunders recommended
that Reich be assessed for a
drug and alcohol treatment programme.
Reich was caught on February
13 by Weedons Rd resident Chris
Flanagan who disturbed him in
his garage early in the morning
and tackled him as he tried to
escape.

Plant plan change mooted
• By Tom Doudney
A PROPOSED plan change
would enable Fonterra to expand
its Darfield site without going
through the normal resource
consent process.
Instead the dairy giant would
gain full approval to expand the
plant within defined limits without
applying for consent for each
individual upgrade or addition to
its existing facilities.
The dairy giant has requested a
change to the District Plan which
would see its 131ha site officially
defined as a dairy processing
management area.
A similar plan change was approved
last year for Synlait’s Dunsandel
site and Fonterra was heavily
involved with that process.
A total of 12 resource
consents have been lodged and
granted for the Darfield site since
it was established in December
2010.
Fonterra’s plans for the site
include increasing the number of
boilers from two to four, the number
of dryers from two to four and
staff numbers from 235 to 435,
while extending a rail siding.
The expansion would be expected
to generate more vehicle movements
– a situation-which would
be managed within an imposed
limit of up to 170 vehicles exiting
EXPANSION: A plan change for Fonterra’s Darfield site would allow
it to bypass the costly and time consuming resource consent
process.
the site within 30 minutes.
Under the plan change, rules
would control building location,
colour and height within the
DPMA and ensure the retention
of open rural land surrounding
the built up area.
In its application, Fonterra argued
that the plan change would
create more certainty about the
nature of future expansion for
itself, the district council and the
surrounding community, including
landowners.
“Given the scale and economic
importance of the dairy industry
within the Rural Outer Plains
[zoned] environment, a primary
reason for this plan change is
to reduce the time, cost and
uncertainties associated with
consenting for what is largely the
consolidation of an established
dairy plant.”
Darfield Community Committee
chairman Paddy McKay
said Fonterra’s presence had been
great for the town and he couldn’t
see any problem with the plan
change .

Mr Parlane said the timing
of the Mi-Sex comeback made
them an ideal headliner and it
had just been a matter of finding
other artists that would fit
the same bill.
“Dragon has got hit after hit,”
he said.
“Everything just nicely fits

Mr Parlane said the concert
would be a family-friendly
event, running from 11.30am

security company and a base of
volunteers involved. Noise mitigation
measures would limit
the impact on the Lincoln community,
with the stage facing

Maddisons Rd safety concerns
Weedons Residents’
Association chairman John
McKim writes about traffic
concerns on Maddisons Rd.
When first becoming a Selwyn
resident more than 20 years ago
this writer approached both the
district council and the local
power authority to help improve
the safety on Maddisons Rd
during the winter because of the
dense fog.
The district council was asked
to put a white line down the
centre of the road and the power
authority to place reflectors on
the power poles.
Within a few weeks reflectors
appeared on the poles. The
district council’s response was
that the road was too narrow for
them to legally put a white line
down the centre. After a very
lengthy protracted battle of several
years a white line magically
appeared as if placed by the road
safety fairy.
Then came Izone - at the consents
hearing for Izone the writer
along with a number of others
based their submission on road
safety issues which would, or
could, be caused by the consent
being granted.
The commissioner refused to
hear these submissions which
meant that the district council
did not have to consider external
traffic issues.
When the matter of Maddisons
Rd being used effectively as a
main thoroughfare was raised an
expert employed by the district
council stated that a traffic
island at the junction of Hoskyns
Rd and Maddisons Rd would
prevent any heavy transport
using Maddisons Rd. The mind
boggles.
Latest (2014) official traffic figures
released by the council show
a fourfold increase. For most of
its length along Maddisons Rd
there is barely enough room for
two trucks to pass let alone if a
cyclist is included in the equation.
But, according to the mayor,
when it was suggested that
cyclists should be restricted to
single file his view expressed at
a council meeting was that the
trucks should simply have to fall
into line behind the cyclists until
there was sufficient room to pass.
GETTING BUSIER: Maddisons Rd
This may work on the planet
ZOG but it isn’t happening here
on planet Earth.
In emails sent to the Weedons
Residents’ Association by the district
council they openly admit
to adopting a wait and see policy
relating to Maddisons Rd. How
long will they have to wait to see
someone killed because of their
refusal to look seriously at the
problem?
This week’s unfortunate death
on another Weedons through
road emphasises the fact that the
council should look more seriously
at local traffic patterns.
District council acting chief
executive Stephen Hill
responds to John McKim’s
comments in today’s
soapbox:
The district council is continuing
to monitor vehicle use of
Maddisons Rd.
Rural roads near Rolleston
are experiencing more traffic as
the area grows and this road has
seen about a threefold increase in
traffic from data recorded in the
1990s to the most recent traffic
counts from 2014 that show on
average approximately 1800 vehicles
using the road per day.
To date, the main safety concern
on this road has been vehicle
crashes at the Maddisons Rd and
Weedons Ross Rd intersection
and for this reason the district
council is participating in a flashing
stop warning sign trial at this
location.
Changes planned to the wider
roading network are expected
to assist in managing increased
traffic.
Jones Rd is planned to be
widened from Hoskyns Rd to
Weedons Ross Rd within the next
12 months making this a more
attractive route into Rolleston’s
industrial area than the equivalent
section of Maddisons Rd.
A new motorway interchange
at Weedons Ross Rd is expected
be constructed by NZTA by 2018
as part of stage 2 of the Southern
Motorway extension. This will
assist by diverting traffic that to
date has preferred not to use State

Readers respond to district
councillors calls for an
upgrade to the intersection
of State Highway 1 and
Weedons Ross Rd to be
completed as soon as
possible in the interests of
road safety.
Jules Wilke, of Springston
– This intersection is an absolute
disaster and anyone crossing it
takes their life into their hands.
I would advise an alternative
route which takes you through
Rolleston to the lights and then
back tracking. Attempting a left
hand turn followed by a U-turn
isn’t a safe alternative.
The best and required alternative
is a flyover and the sooner
the better in the Interest of saving
lives.
Basil Meyer, of Charing
Cross – The Weedons Ross Rd/-
State Highway 1 intersection is
dangerous, no question about
it. I wonder if that intersection
cannot be made safer by a big
roundabout instead of this proposed
flyover at the substantial
$195 million – a roundabout at a
fraction of the cost, achieving the
same.
Brian Hall, of Weedons – I
am an elderly resident living on
McClelland Rd and I absolutely
hate the Weedons Ross Rd and
State Highway 1 intersection. If
I have to get to the other side of
the main road at a busy time I go
considerably further down to the
lights at Rolleston. So the sooner
we get the new interchange the
better.
Gary Doyle, of Weedons
Residents’ Association secretary/
treasurer:
The proposed four-laning of
Main South Rd is finally starting
to look like being a reality.
For a very long time now many
of us have been in discussions
and debate with NZTA over the
best way to approach the project.
During this entire time which
has often been quite stressful
there has never been any assistance
offered by any of the district
councillors. The staff on the
other hand have been extremely
helpful.
Now that the project is looking
like being about to start we
are suddenly seeing some of the
district councillors sticking their
heads up over the parapet - could
it be that this is election time, I
wonder?
As the secretary of the
Weedons Residents’ Association
I have been a strong advocate
for more information and have
received a considerable amount
of data from NZTA which I hold
on file.
Council, however, seems solely
interested in the Rolleston community
which in all fairness is
not directly involved in the possible
disruptions that will occur as
all the work is outside their zone
of influence.
So let’s have a better dispensation
of data to those whose properties
and lives will be majorly
affected.
Brian Whittington of
Rolleston responds to an
articles in last week’s issue
of the Selwyn Times about
the Rolleston Reserve land
exchange proposal – No
they should not be turning
Rolleston Reserve into retail,
the district council should be
planning an area for a shopping
centre were it is safe to shop, keep
what is there now as drive to
shops.
But look at the new shopping
centres in the North Island and
overseas were there is no main
roading going through, parking
is in the outer area and then being
able to walk in safety around
the shops free of the noise and
smell of the vehicles.

New uniforms for Lincoln HS
• By Caitlin Miles
LINCOLN HIGH School
students will have new uniforms
from next year.
The school decided to go
through a review process following
changes to the school’s
branding.
Lincoln High School principal
Kathy Paterson said the uniform
was due for a review.
“The uniform is a significant
change, it’s very exciting for the
school,” Mrs Paterson said.
The uniform change will
involve swapping out the polo
top for a fitted shirt, adding a tie,
blazer and a jumper and changing
a kilt for a navy blue skirt.
The uniform will be introduced
for year nine students next year,
students in year 10-12 can either
wear the old uniform or the new
one. Mrs Paterson said this way
the school can minimise costs
for families having to get new
uniforms.
She said the students felt very
proud wearing the new uniform.
“We went through an extensive
review process, it took roughly 18
months to complete the process,”
she said.
TWO SELWYN girls have
packed their fry pans and
sharpened their knives to
compete in a national culinary
competition.
Emily Perkins of Hororata
and Bridget James of Whitecliffs
are competing in the National
Secondary Schools Culinary
Challenge in Auckland today
after they won the Christchurch
regional final.
To get into the final the pair
had to create four portions of
entree and main meals in 90min.
The girls made herbed silverbeet
and feta galette rested
upon carved venison loin with
beetroot, pinot noir and balsamic
reduction, crispy salad of rainbow

silverbeet flakes.
For a main they cooked

The girls have never had a serious
kitchen incident, apart from
one problem with a tea towel.
“We had a tea towel catch fire
but that was only in practice,
thankfully, it wasn’t in front of
anyone,” Emily said.
Emily said the judging was the
scary part.
“They taste the food but remain
expressionless so it’s kind of like

Our People
SELWYN TIMES
Facing retirement after setting up
Butch and Jo Stern are selling the Mt Hutt Lodge
after a successful 12 years in business. Butch spoke
to Tom Doudney about turning the lodge into an
award-winning enterprise, his background on the
professional surfing circuit and meeting Jo on an
Australian beach
So, you’re the owner of Mt Hutt
Lodge.
I see them, meet them, greet
them and feed them, mate.
And how has that been
working out for the last 12
years?
Fantastic! Beautiful place to
live, phenomenal people, great
clients, our timeshare clients
come from all over the world,
and the local farmers are great
people.
We are the highest ranked
hospitality timeshare resort in
Australasia. We took it from a
dead-in-the-water resort to now
where we get awards every year.
We have been top of the ladder
now since we first took over
and we have a whole bunch of
plaques and honours for it.
Why are you selling up then?
We’re not leaving because there
is no money in it – the restaurant
and bar are always busy
and that’s hard when you want
to have a lifestyle. But basically
it’s just that we’ve been here 12
years and my last restaurant I
had for 24 years in Australia.
That’s all I’ve done – she married
a restaurant.
But now I am 67, my wife has
just battled cancer and won, and
we looked at each other and said
‘let’s go skiing and play more
golf ’.
Sounds like a good plan!
I think so, it’s time we retire.
What awards have you won
with the lodge?
It’s the Wyndham Hotels’ RCI
awards. We win their hospitality
and silver crown awards every
year since we bought it in 2004.
That’s all based on the feedback
of people who stay here.
Wow.
Yeah, I do the cooking, we get
great reviews on our food, my
wife runs the front. It is a small
little family operation with me
and her and one or two staff and
we do all the work. Jo also is a
ski instructor at Mt Hutt in the
winter. She has been teaching on
Mt Hutt since 1979.
How long have you and Jo
been together?
23 years.
How did you meet?
We go back to surfing in the
1970s but in those days she was
married to another bloke. Then
later, she was my ski instructor
here on Mt Hutt in the 1990s – I
married my ski instructor.
How did you meet that first
time when you were surfing?
Just at the beach in Australia.
We lived in the same town,
Aireys Inlet, on the Great Ocean
Rd.
How did you get talking at
that point?
If you see a pretty girl at the
beach and you’re single of course
you are going to talk to her!
What happened then?
Two weeks later she disappeared
and I found out 10 years
later that she had moved to New
Zealand and she was teaching

She has done 33 straight
winters back to back, she was

Nina Cook was born in Whakatane
in 1967. She was educated
in Wanganui and then at

received a Bachelor of Design.
In 2007 Nina established the

Frame OF mind
For this exhibition, I am exploring
issues of societal bias through a
personal lens.
The effect of proselytized overly
fixed viewpoints on political,
religious, racial, gender and
environmental issues is alarming.
When this alarm is combined with
the information bias that occurs in
this curated information age, our
dual desires to belong and control
are kicked into overdrive.
I am not immune to this, but
am also shocked at the lack of
empathy or comprehension of
‘other’ that some people exhibit.
This body of work is my way of
trying to understand.
Though many (including
myself) try to be independent,
compassionate, open-minded
and critical in our thinking, we
cannot avoid being influenced.
Not only by our own experience
and state of mind, but also by
broader cultural, societal, and
scientific relevancies. And this is
always changing.
Art a fantastic way of exploring
issues because it combines both
intellectual and intuitive practices.
The frame is overt, pedantic. As
in a museum display, it provides
a curated context, which is only
ever part of the story.The content
captures personal situations and
impressions – things I have felt,
seen and imagined.
Whilst painting, I have been
deliberately mindful of my thought
process. I asked myself; What is
the true impetus for this work?
What narrative is cycling/growing
in my mind?
How is this effecting my choices?
At what point/s does my ‘frame
of mind’ become ‘confirmation
bias’? To what degree is bias
necessary? When does it become
a liability?
I didn’t discover any big answers,
just personal ones – but every bit
helps.
Some clues are reflected in the
work titles, much more in the
works themselves as physical
Nostalgia
Release
manifestations of my frame of
mind.
Most importantly, I am inviting
the viewer to reflect upon their
own frame of mind or state of bias
whilst investigating mine.

successful business near Mt Hutt
How did you end up getting
ski lessons with her?
I just ran into her on the T-bar
and one of her friends who was
still back in Australia had said to
her: ‘Hey, Butch is coming over,
keep an eye out for him’. And I
jumped on a lift and said: ‘Hey
Jo’ and she said: ‘Hey Butch’ and
the rest is history.
Was getting skiing lessons
just a ploy to spend more time
with her?
There was that and my
dynamic personality (laughs).
No, I’m just a very lucky man
who was in the right place at the
right time.
When you were in Aireys Inlet
were you managing another
hospitality place over there?
I owned a restaurant there
for 24 years, right on the beach.
It was called the Lighthouse
Restaurant. I started that in 1976
and we sold it in 2000 to move
over here. I started a little Mexican
restaurant in Methven – let’s
just say it worked, so we sold up
all of our properties in Australia.
Your accent tells me that
you’re American originally.
I was born in the States, I’m an
Australian citizen and I live here.
In 1969, I went on a three-month
surfing trip to France and here
I am. I have had 15 days in the
States ever since.
PRIME LOCATION: Butch and Jo Stern’s Mt Hutt Lodge is up for sale.
How old were you when you
left the States?
19.
How did you come from
surfing in France to moving
to Australia and owning the
restaurant over there?
I was a professional surfer.
I surfed the world but I never
made any money so it’s a good
thing I could cook.
You were paid for surfing?
I surfed in competitions but
mostly I just went surfing. I was
very blessed to be able to do the
things I was able to do.
But what led you to start the
restaurant in Australia?
I was helping with the beginning
of [international surfing
chain shops] Quicksilver and
Rip Curl, doing a bit of work for
them, but I realised I would be
better living in a smaller town
where I could use the things
I did well – I am classically
French trained as a chef. I spent
two years cooking in France, I
cooked in Austria, did a bit in
South Africa but the majority in
Australia.
Does your cooking reflect
all those different places that
you’ve worked?
It’s ‘Pacific rim’ cooking – we
have a bit of everything.
So you worked for Quicksilver
and Rip Curl in the early
days. Tell me more about that.
I catered the opening for
Quicksilver’s factory right at the
start. And I made surfboards for
them – I fibreglassed them.
Was that a good job?
No, fibreglass dust makes you
itch so it’s actually not a healthy
job. The chemicals are really bad.
What part of the US did you
grow up in?
Santa Barbara, California.
Where are you going to live
when you sell the lodge?
Methven.
You’re not moving too far
then.
Well, the point is that you will
never find a greater place to live
in the world than Mid-Canterbury.
When my wife got cancer, the
amount of people who jumped
in to help her was amazing.
We have got a local lady
named Janet O’Hara who was a
Commonwealth Games bike rider
and a master ski racer. She had
a crash and became a paraplegic
and she telephones my wife and
she says: ‘Hey Jo, I hear you are
looking for drivers – I can drive,
so I’ll be your Wednesday girl’.
And she is a paraplegic with a
special hand-controlled car. So
every Wednesday, she showed
up to pick up my wife to take her
to cancer treatment in Christchurch.
And those are the kind
of people you have in Canterbury.
It’s a phenomenal place to
live.
How much are you asking for
the lodge?
We want $1.3 million. That’s
for a home, a restaurant and bar
and rental properties and a lot of
land.
Are there any other hobbies
we haven’t talked about that
you’ve got which are important
to you?
Just being happy, living life. If
you wake up in the morning and
you have a shave and you like
what you see, you are doing all
right. You have to be happy with
what you are, happy with what
you make, happy with what you
make your life.
With my cooking I go out and
talk to every one of my customers
up here and I look at all the
plates that come back. You are
expressing an art, that’s what the
whole thing is about.

Waste-free parenting workshop
‘Nappy Lady’ Kate Meads will visit Selwyn in September to host a
waste-free parenting workshop.
At the workshop Kate will talk about her personal journey to
become a more conscious consumer and to inspire parents to
make small changes to their day to day household activities and
enable them to become more aware as consumers. She will cover a
variety of topics including recycling properly, reducing food waste,
composting, reducing packaging and cloth nappy basics. Kate will
also introduce parents to new products to suit their busy lifestyle.
The cost to attend is $25 for a couple or individual and each ticket
holder receives a free pack of waste-free parenting products at the
workshop worth $100, sponsored by Selwyn District Council.
The workshop is on Wednesday 14 September, from 6-8.30pm at
Lincoln Event Centre. Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
Tickets are available online at www.wastefreeparenting.co.nz. Parents
are welcome to bring their children with them to the workshop.
Dad’s Day Out
at the pool
To celebrate Father’s Day the Selwyn Aquatic Centre is hosting Dad’s Day Out on Sunday 4
September.
On this special day dads are entitled to free pool admission when they are accompanied by at
least one child. Children can be of any age, including adults. The centre is open from 8am-8pm on
Sunday 4 September.
“We wanted to offer a low cost option for dads to enjoy some quality time with their families
on Father’s Day and have a great time together,” says Kathy Moore, Selwyn Aquatic Facilities
Manager. “The Aquatic Centre is a good outing option for families regardless of the weather.”
Following on from their Selwyn Aquatic Olympics event, the Selwyn Aquatic Centre will also take part
in the nationwide Paralympic Gold Mufti Day on Thursday 8 September to celebrate the opening of
the 2016 Paralympic Games. You can join this event by dressing in gold (no face paint in the pool
please), watching the opening ceremony at the centre, having your photo taken in a gold frame and
making a donation to Paralympics New Zealand. Awards will be given out for best dressed.
Drive phone-free campaign launched
On 1 November 2009 it became illegal for drivers in New Zealand to use a hand-held mobile phone
while driving. Drivers can’t use a mobile phone:
· to make receive, or terminate a telephone call
· to create, send or read a text message or email
· to create, send or view a video message.
Breaching this rule incurs an $80 fine and 20 demerit points on your driver’s licence. Drivers who text
are 23% more likely to be involved in a crash.
A survey on mobile phone use is available online at www.selwyn.govt.nz/drivephonefree or it can be
completed at any Council Library/Service centre. A $150 Westfield voucher will be won by one lucky
person completing the survey. The survey closes on Monday 12 September.
On the roads this week
From 31 August, East Maddisons Road is open to traffic travelling from Selwyn to Goulds Roads while
road work continues. It is closed to vehicles travelling from Goulds to Selwyn Roads. Gravelling and
reshaping work will take place on Auchenflower Road and gravelling work will take place on Ahuriri
Road, with traffic controls in place on both roads. Footpath repairs and resealing will take place in
Rolleston on Beaumont Drive. Work to remove sections of high shoulder to improve the drainage of the
road surface will be occur on Leaches Road, with the road remaining open. Road works to improve the
shape of the unsealed surface will take place on sections of Railway Road, with traffic controls in place.

Come and visit Darfield Library
Darfield Library and Service Centre continues to welcome customers
while work is underway to strengthen part of the building.
The library is open with normal hours and still has the full collection
available for borrowing. Please use the carpark door entry as the
main doors are cordoned off for works. Parking is available at
the front of the building and two accessibility car parks are also
available near the temporary entry for people with limited mobility.
The work is anticipated to take another three weeks and involves
adding extra bracing to the oldest part of the library which is used
as meeting space, the entrance foyer and a storage area. Library
meeting rooms are not able to be used while work occurs.
Library staff appreciate help from Council staff to keep services
operating and we appreciate your patience while work occurs.
Don’t let a fire escape
An open fire season is currently in place in Selwyn’s rural plains
area. While outdoor fires may be lit there are a number of fire safety
guidelines that must be met. Before you light a fire please visit
www.selwyn.govt.nz/fire to check the rules.
Rainfall has been low over winter, with vegetation starting to dry out
and local volunteer fire fighters have been called out to a number
of escaped burns or older fires which have reignited. No burning is
allowed at night or when moderate or strong winds are occurring or
forecast so please check the weather forecast carefully. Fires also
need an adequate fire break and must be constantly supervised and
fully extinguished.
Under Environment Canterbury air rules, to prevent smoke pollution
only dry vegetation cut at least six weeks prior may be burned.
In hill and high country areas a permit is required for outdoor fires
year-round. Outdoor fires are not allowed in residential areas under
Environment Canterbury rules, except for barbeques.

THIS WINTER, at least one
husky a week is arriving at the
West Melton branch of Husky
Rescue NZ, the company
re-homing abandoned or
unwanted huskies.
This season is shaping up to
be the worst in the company’s
seven-year history.
Although many of the
unwanted dogs come from
Auckland, Husky Rescue NZ has
experienced an influx of huskies
from Christchurch.
“We do always have dogs from
Christchurch … it’s pretty much
one dog a week from Canterbury.
It’s the worst winter we’ve ever
had,” Husky Rescue NZ founder
Michelle Attwood said.
The siberian husky is known to
be a hands-on breed.
Ms Attwood said a minimum
exercise routine of 5km a day is

needed to keep them healthy.
“In summer, that means [running
or walking] very late at
night, or early in the morning,
to avoid those 20 deg C temperatures.”
Huskies also require seasonally
intense fur maintenance, a
lot of entertainment and a firm
understanding of who sets the
rules, she said.
“If the owner fails to establish
their position as leader, the
husky, with its strong pack
mentality, will become the pack
leader instead and be almost
impossible to control,” Ms Attwood
said.
Many people will purchase a
husky before understanding the
dog’s needs and then give up
when the job becomes too hard,
she said.
“[Owners] say: ‘Oh well, it
jumped a six-foot fence, it ate
the neighbour’s cat and it won’t
come back when it’s called’ …
Those are all just standard husky
traits.”
Ms Attwood reported reoccurring
problems from irresponsible
breeders.
“We’ve had over 12 dogs from
just one backyard breeder …
time and time again we are seeing
the same problem dogs from
the same problem breeders,” she
said.
The rescue centre caters to
huskies through a combination
of pack-like living arrangements
and dry-land scootering and
sledding.
“They do really well at the

sport and they love it, getting
them to stop running is the
hardest part,” Ms Attwood said.
Husky owner Christos Merentitis
adopted his pet Max about
three years ago. Strict training
and constant exercise is what
helped Max become a beloved
member of the family.
“I got Max when he was
10-months-old. A lot of trainers
said that was too late to correct
bad habits, but you’ve just got
to keep on top of it and actually
want to see a change in your dog
. . . take them for a huge run, and
then do 10 minutes of training
– when they are too tired to be
cheeky or disagree with you,” he
said.

Taste
Reproducing the flavours of Melbourne
Ever wondered who is cooking your food when you go
out to a café or restaurant? The Selwyn Times continues a
series this week with C1 Espresso head chef, Lucy Ayres
• By Gabrielle Stuart
LUCY AYRES was told she was
crazy for leaving Melbourne to
return to Christchurch three
years ago.
But since being back, she has
started her own business, earned
a job managing C1’s kitchen,
and seen the local food scene
transform.
“I always found Christchurch
was quite conservative, people
weren’t willing to step outside the
box with what they ate. But the
food scene was starting to change
in Melbourne so a big thing for
me was bringing that creativity
back into Christchurch, and
people are open to it,” she said.
At C1, that meant she had
the freedom to try creative
things with her dishes, like
serving french toast with cherry
tomatoes, bacon and lemon curd
rather than the classic fruits and
berries.
She believed that willingness
to change also contributed to
the success of BAOdown, the
steamed bun market stall she
opened when she arrived back in
Christchurch.

a few food stalls set up around

there every day and I fell in love
with them. So when I ended up
moving back I wanted to set up

finding a job.”
She ran the stall with her
sisters, Isabella and Sofie,
working weekends at the markets
and catering for events and
festivals while working part-time
at C1.
She said it was a lot of fun, but
when she was offered a full-time
job managing the kitchen at C1
last summer she had to sit down
and make a choice.
Although she enjoyed the stall,
she said the potential she saw to
revitalise the kitchen and menu
at C1 won out.
“I was starting to enjoy working
at C1 more than I was taking it
seriously at the stall. This way
I’ve got the creative ability to
lead the team, and (C1 owner)

which is great.”

Gardening
Fresh ideas with the anticipation of spring
Rachel Vogan says with spring due next week there’s a fresh set of things to do in the garden.
SPRING IS nearly
here. This change of
season often oozes more
excitement, energy and
vitality than any other.
With the warmer months
and longer days comes
more time in the garden,
you can get your hands
as dirty as you want to.
If you are a seed
sower, as opposed to the
seedling planter, you will
Lawns
Hard-working lawns can do with a
spruce up now. Sprinkle lawn fertiliser
generously all over the lawn. Avoid
mowing for a few days to allow fertiliser
time to sink into the soil and ensure
it doesn’t end up in the catcher of the
mower. Spray for weeds as well, as
nipping them in the bud now, before
they take over, will save you time and
energy later on. New lawns can be
laid any time in September, October
and November. Prepare the area
well in advance by removing weeds,
cultivating the soil to a fine crumb
and adding lawn food. Most lawn seed
germinates in a couple of weeks and
takes a good three months before it
can be lightly mown and walked on.
Root crops
The likes of beetroot, carrots, radish
and parsnip can all be sown now.
The preparation is the same for all;
they require a well dug-over soil or
vegetable mix to grow in and full sun
is vital. Sowing in rows makes it easier
to manage weeding and remember
where the seeds are. Radish seedlings
appear in a week or so, whereas the
others can take up to a month. Beetroot
and carrots take three to four months
to mature, while parsnips take five to
six months. Once the seedlings are up,
leafy crops such as lettuce, spinach and
pak choy can be planted in between the
rows, as they will be ready to harvest
before the root crops. This is a great
way to maximise growing space.
be busy with seed mixes,
plant labels and seeds.
The sense of satisfaction
when seeds germinate
doesn’t dissipate, no
matter how long you
have been doing it.
For those new to it,
remember not to sow
seeds too thickly, and label
and date what they are.
If using a mini
propagator, or some other
sort of miniature glass
house that limits
air flow, always make
sure young seedlings
are still able to get
plenty of air.
Seedling planters, you
still have time on your
hands to get the soil
ready and to stock up
on garden gloves, stakes,
fertilisers and tools, ready
for action in a few weeks.
‘Genie’
In flower now
Magnolias and michelia are in full flurry
now, laden with delicate-looking waxy
blooms that are a lot more durable
than you would think. Both of these
species cope easily with frost, wind
and rain. These are real statement trees
and shrubs, and ideal choices to plant
in areas where you want a focal point.
Soil-wise they cope with just about
anything but pure sand or thick clay. As
long as they can anchor themselves into
some heavy ground they seem to thrive.
Pruning is best done after flowering
and only if required. Give them a sidedressing
of general garden fertiliser
this month and mulch the root zones
to keep the roots cool over summer.
Citrus
These hard-working fruit trees need
some TLC. In warmer regions, fertilise
with specific citrus food/fertiliser.
Sprinkle it around the drip line of the
plant as this is the area where most
of the feeder roots are. At the same
time, drench the bush with Seasol to
trigger the plant into active growth.
Pruning can be done over the next
two months as well. Remove any dead
or diseased growth and thin out the
branches to allow more light into the
centre of the plant. This helps prevent
black sooty mould and other pest and
disease issues. In colder areas, hold
off doing these tasks until October.
Vegetables
For those of you who like to germinate
your own seed, roll up your sleeves.
A number of the cold-sensitive crops
can be sown now, ready for planting
out in October and November when
the warmer months arrive in earnest.
The main ones to get underway are the
crops that take the longest to germinate
and establish as seedlings. These are
tomatoes, capsicums, chillies, tomatillos,
cucumbers and eggplants. Sow these
in trays of seed-raising mix and place
somewhere warm indoors, where the
sun will reach them for at least half of
the day. Keep the soil moist, but not wet.
Delphinium
‘Pacific Giants’
Flower garden
Plant out dormant summer stalwarts
such as lilies, gladiolus and dahlias.
Existing clumps of delphiniums can
be split up, if the new shoots have not
started appearing in earnest. Sprinkle
slug bait around to deter slimeballs.
Sweet peas can either be sown now or
seedlings can be planted out. These
seedlings cope with cold weather, and
the earlier they are planted the earlier
you will be enjoying the blooms.
Pinch out the tips at planting time
to encourage more side branches.

Tough, good-looking Mazda ute
• By Ross Kiddie
WHEN YOU look at all the
product Mazda has to offer new
car buyers, especially here in
New Zealand, there’s one vehicle
which looks out of place – that is
the BT50 light commercial ute.
I say that because Mazda has
a huge manufacturing emphasis
on cars and sport utility vehicles,
and the line-up it has now
is focused heavily on providing
buyers with quality product fit
for purpose.
Nevertheless, to be profitable
and competitive in today’s global
market, companies which have
utility vehicles are experiencing a
buoyancy like never before, more
so here in New Zealand. Last
year Ford’s Ranger utility was the
biggest selling vehicle overall, and
that has never happened in this
country before.
Mazda have capitalised on
Ranger’s success as well, the BT50
is a sister vehicle; while the shape
is different, the platform and
engine are the same.
The BT50 has just had a substantial
upgrade both outside and
inside. Major exterior changes
include a new grille and lights up
front, while rear tail light assemblies
have had significant garnish
changes. Inside, there are new
seat coverings, and an upgrade
MAZDA BT50: Substantial upgrade provides a fresh look.
on the plastic trim elements.
According to Mazda the
changes give the BT50 a more
aggressive, muscular look and
by my reckoning, it is still one of
the best looking utes in the New
Zealand market.
Elsewhere, the BT50 is much
the same rugged ute as it ever
has been. It lands in a range of 13
variants priced from $35,295 to
$57,295. All have a 3.2-litre fivecylinder
engine, and there are the
usual choices between single cab,
Freestyle cab and double-cab, two
and four-wheel-drive. And there
are options between manual or
automatic transmission, although
it’s fair to say, most are autos.
The test vehicle was the range
topping GSX double cab automatic.
Incidentally, that model
with manual transmission is
available at $55,295.
I’ve often written about how
much I enjoy five-cylinder
engines, they have a characteristic
of their own, and in the BT50,
it stands out for its smooth and
rattle-free operation.
It is a twin-camshaft, 20-valve
unit which is rated at 147kW and
470Nm, it is a high technology
engine which offers low maintenance
costs thanks to a new
capped price servicing initiative
by Mazda New Zealand.
It also has the benefit of low
fuel usage. Mazda claims a
9.2-litre per 100km (31mpg)
combined cycle average for
the BT50. My time with the
test vehicle constantly listed
around 10l/100km (28mpg)
with an instantaneous figure of
7.7l/100km (36mpg) available at
a 100km/h cruise (engine speed
1800rpm).
Power is harnessed seamlessly
through the six-speeder.
The ratios are a wide spread of
what is required for low range
work as well as broadening to
promote those satisfactory fuel
usage figures. The driveline is
smooth, hiding well the tough
mechanical elements that have
high demands, such as a 3500kg
towing figure.
Naturally, the four-wheel-drive
system has a low ratio transfer
case, it can be manipulated by a
console-mounted switch. I didn’t
do a lot of off-road work, but I
did tackle a long shingle incline
deep in the Malvern Hills. The
BT50 is in its element on rutted
road surfaces, the suspension is
supple, dealing to bumps and
corrugations, and providing a
cushioned ride.
Bearing in mind that the BT50
still has a leaf-spring located live
rear axle, the suspension engineers
have done well to create
the civilised ride along with the

load bearing properties needed
in the traditional ute. The BT50
also gets a high ground clearance
of 237mm, which means crosscountry
travel can be tackled
with confidence.
A busy long weekend in the
backyard culminated in a hefty
load of foliage needing transporting
to the green waste depot. The
BT50 served the job perfectly,
just reminding me how versatile
the double-cab ute is in today’s
market.
And while the BT50 doesn’t fit
perfectly in the Mazda stable, it’s
a vehicle that has come to Mazda
courtesy of the Ford/Mazda marriage.
While that combination
hasn’t been perfect over the years,
both sides have reaped benefits,
and the BT50 is a result of how
well the relationship has worked.

MY PRIDE & JOY
150 Years of transport
through Rolleston
Allan Familton at the
controls of his Burrell
traction engine
SELWYN TIMES
Rolleston is turning 150 with
celebrations planned for the
weekend of 14th to 16th October.
Rolleston’s presence alongside
state highway one and the railway
lines heading south and west, was
for many decades a quiet one.
The idea of Rolleston as a satellite
town to Christchurch came and
went, with slow growth until the
2010 and 2011 earthquakes which
led to accelerated growth with an
unstoppable impetus.
It is somewhat appropriate then
that Rolleston is celebrating its
Model traction engine
150th at a time when its industrial
presence is expanding, with
industry and agriculture served by
two inland ports with direct links to
Lyttelton and Timaru for transport
to international markets.
Burrell traction engines
and Foden steam truck
The evolvement of
agriculture, industry and
transport in the area, is
the theme of the 150th
celebrations.
On the Saturday, people
will have the chance to
wander around displays
of farm equipment and machinery,
vintage engines, tractors, traction
engines, trucks, cars, motorcycles,
military displays, and other
interesting vehicles of all eras, as
well as cultural displays while food
and refreshments will be
available. Mainline Steam
will also be bringing a
steam engine to the Railway
Station.
“It will be the latest beside
the oldest for people of all
ages and especially children
to see how things have
advanced and changed
over the years,” explains Jeff
Bland who is chairing the
organising committee.
Rolleston 150th
Committee Member, Allan
Familton will oversee the displays of
agricultural, industry, transport and
railway history that was either used
in the district or reflects an era.
Allan will also be exhibiting a
model traction engine that has been
in the district for around twenty
five years, along with two Burrell
traction engines and a Foden steam
truck. As the two traction engines
spent their lives in agriculture they
are representative of machinery that
operated in the district from the
late 1900s to 1950s though traction
engines were used around Rolleston
earlier than that.
“The model traction engine
was built by Alan Lake from
Christchurch, who used to bring the
engine out to Rolleston,” explains
Allan.
People will also be able to
see traction engines operating
a threshing mill, chaff cutter
and sawmill while Allan will be
demonstrating his Foden steam
truck’s three way tipping deck.
Owners of vintage to modern
machinery or vehicles that have a
connection with Rolleston or reflect
an era are invited to display these
(regardless of their condition) and
to be part of a Grand Parade on the
Sunday.
The organisers also invite people
with old photographs to bring
these to the Rolleston Community
Centre on Friday, 18th September
from 1pm to 5pm so they can be
scanned and a brief history noted,
for inclusion in displays and a book
on Rolleston’s history.

with many opportunities for
people to take part. Simply email:

Panelbeating business
meets challenges
Almost ten years ago, Scott Jefcoate had the opportunity to purchase
the business he was working for, R O Jones Panelbeaters. Scott was 24
years old at the time yet keen to put his personal touch on the business
and be his own boss.
Since then, Scott has experienced the ups and downs of running
a business such as after the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake
when the inner city was cordoned off and R O Jones could not operate
for six weeks.
“All our customers left overnight. They were city based and there
was no central city anymore so trading was very quiet when we were
allowed back in,” explains Scott who dealt with the situation by getting
on with it.
After cleaning up and dealing with the damage, Scott had to rebuild
his business, during which time he kept all his staff.
Further on, and they received just one month’s notice to vacate their
Bath Street building, which was to be demolished. He had to very
quickly find new premises and shift the business before the wrecking
ball came in.
Through the challenges, it has been
Scott’s resilience, a supportive team and
a friendly approach that has seen the
business go from strength to strength.
Two years ago, Scott took over Laycock’s
Collision Repairs providing a convenient
outlet for people on the south west side of
the city.
Both R O Jones Panelbeaters and
Laycock’s Collision Repairs offer a full
service of collision repairs, general panel
beating and spray painting, for all motor
BURNHAM

vehicles and commercial fleets.
They will touch up scratches
and knock any annoying dents
back into shape. With spray
bake ovens in each of the
outlets and fully qualified staff,
repairs can often be turned around within a week.
Customers can drop off their vehicle on the day or the
team will arrange towing where damage is more severe. They
do work for all insurance companies and have a fleet of over
twenty loan vehicles between the two branches so there is no
need to be without wheels while the car is in for repair.
Nine staff are based at Laycock’s Collision Repairs in
Sockburn and eight in the central city branch, R O Jones
Panelbeaters. Staff are i-car trained where they have received
off-site job training to industry standards for panel beating
and with a mix of ages the older hands pass their knowledge
onto the younger ones. This
diversity also means that jobs
can be allocated according to the

TRULY UNIQUE
Only very rarely do opportunities of this nature arise in such a location as
this. Should you be fortunate enough to become the privileged owner of
this stunning home in Leeston’s premier location the opportunities to you
are endless. Built in an era when homes of this nature were built to the
highest of standards (in this case for the BNZ bank manager) this 310m2
home comprises of four large bedrooms, spacious family living with open
plan kitchen/dining area, elegant separate formal lounge with logburner,
sunroom, light and bright conservatory opening to the garden via French
doors, attached double garage and separate laundry making for a home
you will be truly proud of. The home is well insulated and offers heating by
way of two logburners-one on wetback and an HRV system.
The botanic 1816m2 section is very private, fully fenced and features
an abundance of mature plantings and specimen trees. There is also an
exceptional separate workshop with power absolutely ideal for running a
business from home or the perfect hobbies room. Being zoned Business 1
under the district plan this property could be many things including retail,
restaurant possibility, home business, subdivided, investment or as it has
been until now a wonderful family home in the most central of locations.
Come and view this property today - we know you will not be disappointed.
Leeston has become a very popular destination being a short commute
from Rolleston , Lincoln and Christchurch with a real sense of community,
great schooling options, a thriving main street and a lifestyle envied by
many.

A HOUSE THAT’S
ON THE RADAR
It is nice to walk into a home with a welcoming feel, something that
Compass Homes has achieved with their Faringdon show home in
Rolleston.
It is nice to walk into a home with a
welcoming feel, something that Compass
Homes has achieved with their Faringdon
show home in Rolleston.
At 217 square metres, the Levante fourbedroom
home is ideal for a family. There is
a sensible allocation of space starting with a
spacious front entry that leads past a separate
lounge where there are views of the street, and
a study nook cupboard to the open plan living
area.
The living area sits on one side of the house
capitalising on its northwest positioning and
allowing the living, dining and lounge to be
soaked in afternoon sun. There is also great
indoor/outdoor flow. Sliders access a thirty
square metre deck from the family living area,
kitchen and master bedroom, making the
most of the good sized section.
Three bedrooms sit behind the living wing
with a fourth to the left of the entryway. This
is accessed from the bedroom wing but could
easily open onto the living side for a study or
guest room.
The master bedroom has both ensuite and
walk-in robe and east to west orientation that
takes advantage of morning to evening sun.
This house has a number of special touches
too, such as a half wall that slightly separates
dining and family living, double doors into the
lounge, peephole wall feature at the end of the
kitchen bench, and cassette air conditioning
system, which is a small upgrade from the
design’s standard specifications.
The entertainer’s kitchen offers good work
flow, plenty of bench space, good sized pantry
for hiding the mess, and easy access through
sliders to the deck for drinks, food and when
having a barbecue on a summer’s day. There is
also a mix of storage options that includes tray
cupboards and pot drawers as well as an island
sink that is large enough for working on and
dining at.
The main bathroom comes with bath, shower
and good sized vanity and there is a separate
toilet while the laundry is access point to the
double garage. Here the door opens to the
west, away from the street, offering privacy
and catching the afternoon sun instead of a
cold southerly. There is also plenty of off-street
parking.
This house has a handsome presence from the
street with two gables at the front, differing
cladding of linear and brick in grey white
tones and coordinated tiled roof.
A 3D impression of this home can be
viewed on Compass Homes’ website while
this Faringdon show home is open from
Wednesdays to Sundays between 12noon and
4pm, or at other times by appointment at 7
Broomleigh Drive, Rolleston.
Brent loves reading
the newspaper.
So we designed an extra wide bench for him
to stop his paper falling into the sink.
